20 years of 24 by Ryan Richardson

When Justin and I spoke with actor Kiefer Sutherland, we practiced our questions for the first and last time ever. We had no intention to ask our special guest about his legendary parents, yet he spoke fondly of both during our April 23, 2021 conversation, which is posted here. 

Howard Gordon once again spends time with us!

To paraphrase the iconic band that glorified tribute act Greta von Fleet claims they've never listened to, "It's been a long time since we talked 24." Gosh, we missed you.

It was a joy to speak with our guest Nazneen Contractor about a great many things, including the recent renewal of her CTV show, Children Ruin Everything and its family connection!

It is amazing who you will meet in the 24 Universe! Twin siblings Frank and Mara grew up less than 30 minutes from me, but it took Jack Bauer and the holy grail of VHS tapes to bring us together.

To paraphrase GnR, "she used to love him, but she had to kill him".

When you admire CTU, the Presidential Retreat and the overall look and feel of 24, you have Joseph Hodges to thank.

Guest and Emmy-Award winner David Fury gave us yet another chance to geek out - not only about our favorite show, but also about his roles with Buffy The Vampire Slayer, Angel, and graduating from Lost after its groundbreaking first year to join the 24 team.

We thought that the best way to celebrate the release date of Bloor Street was to unleash the audio interview with our esteemed guest Kiefer William Frederick Dempsey George Rufus Sutherland, also known as Jack Bauer.

A real thrill to talk to Karina about her role on 24, as well as Orange Is The New Black, Dangerous Minds, Crash and Lean On Me, and the movie set where she met Kiefer Sutherland for the first time!

If you are a big fan of 24, a lot of your thanks can go to Debi Manwiller!

Rob Weiss. Moe Howard. Marky Bark. Russ Hanneman. The voice of Mickey Freakin’ Mouse!

Giles Matthey talks Live Another Day with us, and how much he respected and enjoyed 24 long before he joined the cast!

24 Superfans are where you least expect them.

24 Superfans are all over the world.

Need a reminder about the importance of a good story and of seeing yourself onscreen?

Guest co-host Keith Bunker ("Inside The Bunker" Podcast) invited the 3 esteemed authors of 24 and Star Trek Tie-In novels, Dayton Ward ("24: Trial By Fire"), James Swallow ("24: Deadline") and David Mack ("24: Rogue"), and we had a good time talking Jack Bauer, James Bond (the other JB) and just a hint of Star Trek! You may find they operate as one... hive mind.

Two lawyers walk into CTU...

After Presidents Logan and Palmer, we welcome Gail Berman, Co-President of the Producers Guild of America! In fact, she has held the position of President on several occasions.

A lost (in a faulty hard drive) episode has been found!

We have the honor of hosting a 24 POTUS on the podcast, namely D. B. Woodside, who may be the first 24 Superfan to be cast through the combination of persistence, sheer will and talent! Also from having the same manager as Reiko Aylesworth...

Our conversation with Jon Cassar continues in Part 2!

Each of our previous guests said, "you've got to talk to Jon Cassar." They even told him, which we humbly appreciate!

It was a delight to hang out with Sprague Grayden, and talk about Olivia Taylor and her... interesting decisions and the impact she had on Season 7 and beyond! And the fact that she has a 24 Baby.

Starbuck. Amunet Black. Bo-Katan. Dana Walsh. And that's not including her roles on Another Life, Longmire and Workaholics!

I even got dressed up for our first President to join us on the podcast.

When I started this podcast, it was a distant dream that, one day, Kiefer Sutherland could be a guest. Truly distant.

To be fair, all of our guests have been amazing! They are all my favorite, for different reasons. However...

You met him in the Pilot and you liked him. At first. Then you didn't. Then maybe you did again.

If you appreciate the look and feel of 24, you have Rodney Charters to thank! And we did.

We had the privilege of talking to the first main character to appear in the pilot of "24", and it was a thrill

If you have one of Tara DiLullo Bennett's Official Companions to 24, consider yourself lucky! I use these books to prepare for each podcast guest, including Tara herself.

Beginning with a transcendent cover of the 24 theme song by Superfan Ihya, he joined Rachel, Aaron and myself to discuss Season 2, and occasionally we stayed on topic!

It only made sense to follow up with the other side of his wife Sarah's story! Xander Berkeley, in addition to his portrayal of George Mason, has been in every other movie and TV series that you have ever seen. Ever.

Make no mistake - everything has led up to this!

Oh, Edgar, how we miss thee.

This guy is so much fun, we have to have him back, if only to talk more about Yakavetta!

We sit down with one of the Fathers of 24, Bob Cochran. His name appears on every single episode of 24 and rightfully so!

On "24", Sarah Wynter portrayed Kate Warner, or as we like to call her, "the good Warner Daughter"!

Guest James Morrison really made us think, something we try to do at least once a week.

The only person Jack Bauer can trust 'right now', Tony Almeida, is on the podcast!

And so the longest day begins...

It is an honor and a thrill to welcome 24 Showrunner, Author and Writer Howard Gordon to the podcast! Justin has known Howard for years, and I've always been a fan of his work, which includes The X-Files, Homeland, Tyrant and Awake, a personal favorite. He is a firm believer in what he calls "the Pulse of 24", and coincidentally, so are we.

It is no coincidence that a) Lyndon (Lp) Perry and I have been collaborating for the past 24 YEARS, and that b) he is the natural fit to compose the 20 Years Of 24 theme song and musical landscape!

24 Fans have been asking “Who wrote your theme song?“

We are honored to welcome our guest Eric Balfour, who joins us to discuss 20 Years Of 24. We talk about the thrill of fatherhood, creative entrepreneurship, and the importance of carefully choosing comfortable clothes for the set of 24!

Today, we continue our conversation with Aaron Michael Waldo, one of the Founders of the "24 Universe" Facebook group. We talk about how 24 has helped us as adults and as parents, and why Disney+/Star is making new fans worldwide 20 years later!

Today, we talk to Aaron Michael Waldo, one of the Founders of the 11,000 member (and steadily) growing "24 Universe" Facebook group. You'd be hard pressed to find someone more passionate and knowledgeable about the... 24 Universe!

"Mrs. Bauer may have only been around for one day, but it was a hell of a day. Teri wasn't just the wife stuck at home while the husband gets in on all of the action. Her daughter sneaking out of the house sends her on an adventure that included being kidnapped, killing a man in order to escape, finding out that she is pregnant, and ultimately, being killed by romantic rival and traitor, Nina Meyers. Teri’s death set the stakes for the entire series, proving that anyone not named Jack Bauer could be a goner."

Arriving soon. Conversations with 24 cast and superfans!
