Chatting With Sherri welcomes back Author, Producer, Director; Gregg Openheimer!
Gregg Openheimer (Producer-Director), son of "I Love Lucy" creator-producer-head writer Jess Oppenheimer, got his start in comedy at the tender age of four when his father introduced him to Lucille Ball on the "I Love Lucy" set. Kneeling down, a smiling Lucy asked Gregg, "Where did you get those big brown eyes?" Gregg's deadpan reply: "They came with the face." Lucy nearly fell over laughing. In 1996, he left a successful law career in order to complete his late father's humorous memoir, "Laughs, Luck...and Lucy: How I Came to Create the Most Popular Sitcom of All Time" (Syracuse University Press). That book's success led Gregg's hit comedy play, "I Love Lucy: A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Sitcom." His latest project is SPERDVAC (The Society to Preserve & Encourage Radio Drama, Variety And Comedy) presents "Jack Benny Program" veterans Beverly Washburn, Stuffy Singer & Ivan Cury in Peg Lynch's comedy gem, "THE PRIVATE LIVES OF ETHEL & ALBERT" Written by Peg Lynch Produced and directed by Gregg Oppenheimer.

Chatting With Sherri welcomes award-winning writer; John Eric Schleicher!
John Eric Schleicher is a winner of Writers of the Future for his short story “Squiddy!”
John Eric Schleicher writes stories that leave behind a fantastical aftertaste long after reading. While story rules the roost, John Eric’s favorite authors tell their tales with panache and pleasing prose. Toni Morrison, Cormac McCarthy, Stephen King, and Ray Bradbury top his literary cake.
When not reading or writing, John Eric enjoys wandering wonderstruck, whether on two legs or knobby wheels, the mountains near his home in Missoula, Montana.
His greatest loves are his son Ryder and wife Ashlee, to whom “Squiddy” is dedicated. “Squiddy,” his first professional sale, is a spawn of the post-apocalyptic imaginings of an extraterrestrial Squid invasion and explores the self-destructive habits we seek to escape or soften despair. John Eric’s short fiction has also appeared in Creepy Podcast.
