Marta On The Move sits down to chat about one of her favorite pasttimes, GAMES.  In honor of International Tabletop day April 11th.  I chatted with owner of local game shop Games Unlimited, Kylie Prymus, and local game designer Ben Shulman, who sells his game Vici at Games Unlimited to talk about what their favorite games are, what the challenges are when making a game, and what is coming up next!  Tune in to this awesomely fun episode.

Marta On The Move visits with local Hollywood Special Effects Legend Tom Savini. In Pittsburgh, PA, on an unassuming street lives a legend in the film industry.  I got the pleasure of visiting Tom Savini in his house here in Bloomfield.  I just left from there, and I am still reeling at what I saw.  He may be the largest collector of casts, busts (his own and others), and various other collectibles.  I fawned over two busts of Tim Curry's devil character from the movie Legend, made by one of his students Darren Holt from Tom Savini's Special Make-Up Effects Program. located in Monesson, Pa. I passed by the sword that beheaded Sean Bean in The Game Of Thromes series.  Brad Pitt's helmet from Troy, assorted death masks from Clark Cable, to David Bowie.  I casually strolled by a life size version of the Terminator, or Val Kilmer as Batman.  In the middle all of these collections, is Tom Savini, wandering the house his father built, giving me the grand tour. The only man in Hollywood who can claim the titles o

East End Brewing in Pittsburgh, Pa paved the way for local breweries that are popping up left and right in the city.  Come with me as I take a tour of the brewery, have some beers, and see what is in store for this wonderful place to visit in Pittsburgh.

You see the stickers on the windows, maybe you have gone to their website, or used their app to find a great brunch spot, car service, or a new coffee shop that may have just opened.   Rachel Carlson is our Pittsburgh #1 Yelp lady, and she came on the show to talk about why she loves working there, what makes great reviews,(and bad ones),what's in store for 2015, and how she came into the business.  A fun little chat to peek into the behind the scenes of Yelp Pittsburgh!

Nac comes on my show to visit different events in town that we find fun and interesting. Conventions, Pinball Tournaments, Gaming, Baraoke.  We love Nerding out together to discuss what is happening around town.  This was my first convention, and the Fonz, the bully from Christmas Story, and Tom Savini all managed to do some plugs for me.  Not a bad time at all. 

Trundle Manor is easily one of the strangest places in Pittsburgh, Pa.  Join me as I take the tour of this unique place in Pittsburgh, Pa.  

I grew up loving puzzles and games, and I still do. When I heard about an interactive puzzle in Pittsburgh, I had to have the owners on the show.  Well, first I had to go through the puzzle to see if my group could beat it. I love picking up different things to do in cities while I travel, the stranger the better.  Joe and Cory Deasy found something similar in Budapest, and brought the idea back here to Pittsburgh.  Ahh the glory of traveling!  Now their idea has taken hold, and is becoming THE spot for friends and family to challege themselves against the clock, to beat the Prison, and the Laboratory in under 60 minutes.  Imagine you start off handcuffed. That is all I am telling you. Tune in, and hear more about what their plans are,and how they came up with this amazing idea, as walk you through ESCAPE ROOM PGH.  I can't wait to try another one soon!!!        

Take a walk through Pittsburgh Winery with me, as I talk with Tim from the Buzz Poets, about how he got started in wine, his tips for making great wine at home, and other fun facts about Pittsburgh Winery.  Pittsburgh Winery is a great place in the Historic Strip District of Pittsburgh.  Hit it up for a lovely evening out to enjoy a glass or two, or take a bottle home with you!  Cheers!

Tom is a very interesting local author who wrote the novel Tomorrow and Tomorrow.   I was so lucky to have him on the show to chat about his method for writing, and some of his upcoming projects.  He was so kind to sit in on my book club, and answer questions about the book.  Being able to pick an author's brain is a very amazing thing.  Seeing how they worked out the writing, the characters and plot, and put everything together.  It blows my mind.  I hope you enjoy, and I hope you pick up a copy for yourself as well. You can get a copy of his book below, and he is also coming out with a new cover for it in May.  The image is below as well.      

Peter Max had a gallery showing here in Pittsburgh, I had the lucky chance to be able to chat with him, and pick his brain about what makes him inspired to paint.

Join to hear how to make cocktails at home like a champ.

A talk about their plans to expand their restaurant in the Historical Pittsburgh Strip District.

I am a huge fan of boardgames.  My ideal evening involves hanging out with close friends, having some snacks, wine, good conversation, and playing boardgames.  Most people I admit to this, look at me like I have been stunted at age 10. (Which actually may be true)  They hear boardgames and they think the standards, Monopoly, Trivia Pursuit, Life...  All of which i personally hate, by the way.  Monopoly- the game in which you end up despising your friends and family, the deal making game.  Trivia Pursuit- Pop Quiz asshole!  What you don't remember some history tidbit from Bystantine Period?  The game designed to make you feel stupid.  Life-  See what job you should have had?  Come on?  You don't have 8 children and an aspiring career as a hedge fund manager?  FAILURE.   Games are no longer what you pull out at awkard family ggatherings to pass the time away.  They are events, social communication connections, brain builders, creative outlets.  I wanted to feature different games on this podcast to show off not
