SELLEST OSAST
Dean Delray is a case study of turning passion into a labor of love, merging his affinity with music and comedy into a thriving career on stage and a growing podcast network. When he's not talking to musicians on his podcast, Let There Be Talk, chances are he is headed to his next stand-up comedy gig, having performed almost 5,000 times over the past 12 years.
This foray into comedy led to the launch of Let There Be Talk, a podcast featuring raw, unfiltered, off-the-cuff conversations that offer deep insights from a diverse mix of engaging personalities across music, film, TV, comedy, and more. Let There Be Talk shows off the musical encyclopedia in Delray's head and has earned him a slot as one of today's Rock Talk leaders.
When the pandemic hit, Delray sharpened his entrepreneurial skills and launched a podcast network, Cactus Radio Network, creating three new programs to complement his flagship podcast, Let There Be Talk. He turned "Handmade Episodes" of Let There Be Talk into a new podcast, The Grail, which highlights Artisans and Makers working outside the box. At Home with Byron Katie features female spiritual guru Byron Katie. And he co-hosted a 13-episode series, Dark Fonzie, with Marc Maron. Delray has also dipped his toes into the acting world, beginning as a consultant on Quentin Tarantino's Hell Ride, in which he also landed a small role in the film. He has also appeared in The Longshots (featuring Ice Cube), Maron, Noise Matters, Love, Nothin's Easy and more.
Delray has traveled a long road to success, and the ride shows no sign of nearing the end.
