Eleanor Vance · 2026-09-20

When Jim Steele sat down with the hosts of *The High Patrol* podcast, he didn't hold back. The industry writer, publicist, and co-author of the memoir *Tommy Gunn: Unloaded* opened up about the book, the business, and why the performers at the heart of it all deserve way more credit than they get. If you missed the episode, here's the gist. ### The Book That Gets Personal Steele co-wrote *Tommy Gunn: Unloaded* with the man himself, and it hit shelves in Fall 2025 via Tepris Press. You can grab a copy on Amazon for around $25.99. "We are extremely proud of this book," Steele said during the episode. "Readers keep telling us it feels like such an intimate portrait of Tommy. That means everything." He also gave a shout-out to Nikki Anderson and Jon Ford at Tepris Press for getting the project across the finish line. Without them, who knows when we'd have seen it. ### The Real MVPs: Performers Steele works at Blue Movie PR, where he helps clients shine. But during the podcast, the conversation turned to something deeper: the grind behind the scenes. When Steele mentioned that performers "work their asses off," co-host SithKitten fired back with a quick "Literally!" The trio laughed, but the point stuck. - Performers often juggle long hours, physical demands, and emotional labor. - Their dedication rarely gets the spotlight it deserves. - Steele wants fans and pros alike to remember that. "I just want people to appreciate the passion and relentless effort that goes into creating the content they love," Steele said. ### Where to Catch the Show *The High Patrol* airs live on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays at 10pm ET on X and Twitch.
