I started blogging in early 2000 (or so) as a way to post my terribly written scenes from my partially finished screenplays.
I figured out screenplays might not be my thing (someday, sometime), so I started The Fresnan.
I love the city of Fresno. I love blogging. Having a blog about living in Fresno only seemed natural.
I am here to entertain you, give myself a creative outlet, and sometimes stumble into some local Fresno journalism.
I also have a related newsletter called Fresno!Fresno! It would be cool if you subscribed to it. I know everyone who used to blog is on Substack now, but I prefer writing over here, on a blog/website. I have even relented and started letting Google put ads on here (sorry about that) so I can make some spare change while hanging out here.
More Content I Produce
PODCASTING
I co-host, co-write, and edit these four podcasts:
- Flowing With Famous. Talkin’ Fresno culture, music, retail, media, life living in a small California city.
- Dorktown (now on permanent hiatus). A comedy show, we play games, go over lists, play music, and remember the 1980s and 90s. My heart wants it to come back someday.
- The Perfect Pour. This is a show for beer geeks at any level. The fun and nerdy side of craft beer. It’s weekly. We have fun.
- Get Off My Podcast. A podcast about Harrison Ford and the movie universe he is in.
YOUTUBE
I rarely post but I have a YouTube channel.
OTHER PLACES I WRITE
- I have a cassette blog: The Tape Player.
- I have a beer-drinking blog: Mikey Top Pour.

Some of my favorite affiliates that, if you enjoy writing or being creative, you might also like:
- Keysearch – A very affordable way I do keyword research.
- Make.com – I am learning how to engineer some things to add to this blog and you can try it too.
- Amazon – To be real, it’s the only one of my affiliates that has made me useable money. Love Bezos or not, it’s just how it is.
- Skillshare – Great courses for creatives or wannabes.
If you are a travel blogger, might I suggest using Travel Payout as your affiliate base camp?
- AppSumo – A bunch of cool and useful software and courses you can buy.
- Audible – One of Amazon’s babies. It’s a good baby though.
- Blinkist – Much like Audible but with a self-improvement vibe.
- Super – Get rewards and discounts just for using the app.
Thank you for reading and following!! Cheers!
