The Staffa Corner
Greg Staffa created The Staffa Corner Podcast to provide listeners with a Staffatarian look at entertainment and life. Focusing on honest conversation, Staffa’s podcast is an appreciation of those he finds interesting in and out of television and film.The journey taken by Staffa in the industry started more than 8 years ago writing for Your Entertainment Corner. Motivated by the desire to become more knowledgeable in his field, he leveraged his learned and acquired knowledge and skills and earned himself the opportunity to interview celebrities such as Pierce Brosnan, Ethan Hawke, Martin Freeman and Seth Rogan among others. Setting up his own in home studio, Staffa is branching out into podcasting while continuing to write for YEC. An unsung hero recognized by The St. Cloud Times in 2013, and a Staffatarian to the core, Staffa spent several months in 2010 on a 48-state road trip transforming the perception of homelessness. During this time, he handed out over 1,000 pairs of socks and hundreds of cups of coffee to the homeless, before he finally settling down in St Cloud Minnesota. By July 2020 Staffa’s journey came full circle having bought a home. To his credit, he still finds time to help others. Staffa is able to build and maintain incredible working relationships, an attribute that has contributed greatly to his success. Consequently, actors, writers and directors among other TV/film stars are always open to guest. He has covered red carpet premieres for films like Stuber and Booksmart among other star studded TV premieres.

The Staffa Corner Podcast, Ep. 25 – Has Singer Darci Monet Finally Found Peace After Napoleon Dynamite?
Imagine being the voice behind a memorable song in a film only to have your contribution go unrecognized.
This is the nightmare Darci Monet faced while watching the indie film “Napoleon Dynamite,” A cult classic known for its unique characters and memorable soundtrack. Her version of “The Rose” plays during the Happy Hands Club scene. Her anticipation builds as the credits roll, but her name is nowhere to be found.
Darci is now reclaiming her voice. As the film celebrates its 20th anniversary, she’s speaking out about the oversight, which remains unfixed, and releasing the full version of the song. It’s a powerful reminder that sometimes persistence and standing up for what’s right can lead to long-overdue recognition, offering hope in the face of injustice.
