Martinis, Media & Coming Out with Nelson Aspen

Would love to hear your thoughts!

A martini, a DM, and an instant friendship 🍸

Entertainment journalist and author Nelson Aspen joins me for a conversation that’s equal parts laughter, nostalgia, and heart. Nelson spent two decades on air covering entertainment news and lived through the electric media scenes of New York City and Hollywood in the 80s and 90s — stories he now captures in his books, which read like a time capsule of that era.

We talk about his upbringing, coming out to his father, the evolution of storytelling, and how he continues to share history today through his work centered on the Titanic.

This episode is warm, funny, honest, and deeply human — the kind of conversation that feels like catching up with a good friend over a drink.

⚠️ Contains brief strong language used in the context of a personal story.
