Conversations with Travis P. Roscoe

Today, we’d like to introduce you to Travis P. Roscoe.

Hi Travis, it’s an honor to have you on the platform. Thanks for taking the time to share your story with us – to start, maybe you can share some of your backstory with our readers.
Knee Circles podcast was created almost three years ago (June 30th, 2021) by Minkis (Mike P.) and Travis P. Roscoe (Travis P.). Initially, the two of us were looking for a comedic outlet for our dark humor personalities to share with the world. We sat down a few times a week to come up with a name and a direction we wanted to go with. Once equipment was purchased, the recording started immediately with the understanding that people would be given a weekly episode for free.

Many podcasts don’t ever make it past one year, let alone 100 episodes. We knew to keep it short (no more than an hour length per episode) as we are only on an audio platform. The video is coming, and it is our goal. Fast forward to 2024, and we have achieved 119 episodes. The support we have been given from our audience has been nothing but love. Of course, we do provide warnings that it is pure comedy, but we will push the boundaries with our jokes so the easily offended should not listen.

The name was created by Minkis. Everyone these days will scroll their phones while going number 2 in the water closet office. Elbows locked to your knees and escaping to their wireless device. Once you stand up, you have two red circles on your knees. When people finally realize the concept of the name, it’s instant laughter. We promise you just need to listen to the most recent episode, and you’ll be coming back for more.

Everyone these days needs a good laugh. In a world that seems grim, we want to provide that laughter for our audience. Even for just 45 minutes of their day. All subjects are discussed, and the jokes behind them are vented for those who hold their tongue to avoid being canceled. Two good friends are having fun and poking the bear of life. Why not come join us weekly for the journey? Knee Circles Podcast has a very bright future, and we look forward to continuing to grow.

We all face challenges, but looking back, would you describe it as a relatively smooth road?
The road to where we have come has not been easy. From relationships/marriages ending or when we both lost a parent within a 24-hour period, we were committed to what we started.

Have we taken breaks or gaps? Of course, but life never goes applied. You simply improvise, adapt, and overcome. Although we enjoy making every episode, we do it for the audience. As Bane said in The Dark Knight Rises (2008), “And we give it back to you… the people.”

I appreciate you sharing that. What else should we know about what you do?
Knee Circles podcast is a raw comedy audio podcast discussing the latest world events, funny news stories, and poking fun at all subjects of life.

We are most proud of achieving over 100 episodes and continuing to grow as a comedy podcast. We set ourselves apart from other comedy podcasts by sharing the thoughts others are afraid to express to avoid being canceled.

Alright, so to wrap up, is there anything else you’d like to share with us?
You can find us anywhere you find audio podcasts. Spotify, Apple podcasts, Amazon Music, iHeart Radio, Audible, and more. We do have plans to use a video platform to perform live comedy episodes for our viewers in the future.

We are looking to utilize Twitch and Youtube. Merchandise will be coming soon as well.

Special guests have joined, but the guests will expand their familiarity with those who listen.
