LUSH, TROPICAL, and EXOTIC! The Epic Tiki is a weekly podcast hosted by comedian and filmmaker Luke Soin.
Join Luke as he hangs and chats with his friends and other comedians, filmmakers, and interesting peoples. Laid-back, conversational, humorous. The podcast mixes comedy, movie talk, personal stories, joke-writing, pop culture, etc. Topics vary. Could be comedy careers, personal stories, film & movies, sometimes deep dives into fandoms (e.g. Star Wars, Lord of the Rings), pop culture, life experiences.
Luke interjects with his comedic sensibilities; there’s often spontaneous or tangential humor, sharing of weird or funny anecdotes. It’s not super polished in a formal sense — more genuine and casual.
It tries to feel like you’re just hanging out with these people.
