Ferrill Gibbs is host and co-producer of the Alabama Astronaut podcast: a limited series show about the power of art and music.

In 2017, he published a young adult novel called The Secret Island of Edgar Dewitt (Chicago Review Press) about a boy who finds the deepest, darkest hole on planet Earth.

Ferrill has recorded several albums with many of his wonderful musician friends. In 2025, he produced and directed a live action music documentary called “Chase Park Transcension.” 

In 2021, he co-produced and engineered an album of undocumented songs performed by preacher Cody Coots and his wife, Cassy Coots, collectively known as “The Coots Duo.”

This collaboration led to a memoir-podcast about Cody's turbulent life as a fourth-generation serpent handler. It's called Marked for Life: Memoir of a Serpent Handling Preacher.

Ferrill lives in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex with his wife “Fish,” a veterinarian.

Ferrill has worked for The Houston Chronicle, KBTX College Station, and City Cast Houston.
