He powered Xcursion with bandmate Mark Slaughter prior to the singer's platinum success with Slaughter, was a member of the first officially sanctioned KISS tribute band Cold Gin with future KISS guitarist Tommy Thayer and signed with MCA Records as a founding member of Cold Sweat.“The whole idea is to try and bring back all those elements of listening to an album from top to bottom, taking the fans on a musical journey,” explains White. RFK Media's Aaron Fischer describes Generation Landslide's sound as “arena rock, heavily influenced by early KISS, Thin Lizzy, and Alice Cooper, which we love.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

CANREADS Book Review described The Divided Brain as "a practical and insightful guide," noting that it "explores how emotion and logic shape decision-making in branding and communication" by translating complex psychological concepts into accessible strategies. The CANREADS win follows earlier recognition from BookLife by Publishers Weekly. The Divided Brain received a perfect 10/10 BookLife Prize score, was named a BookLife Editor's Pick, and was recognized as a BookLife Prize Semifinalist. Together, these honours position the book as a timely resource for leaders, marketers, entrepreneurs, sales professionals, and communicators who want to understand the behavioural forces behind attention, trust, and influence. Larche's perspective is grounded in decades of real-world business, media, and audience experience. He founded Larche Communications, which grew to five radio stations and a branding agency, earned more than 25 industry awards, and completed successful exits. The principles in The Divided Brain grew from behavioural branding ideas Larche developed, tested, and refined while building media brands and competing for audience attention in crowded markets."People do not choose with logic alone," said Larche. "That is true whether you are building a brand, leading a team, selling an idea, asking for support, or trying to communicate through the noise. I wrote The Divided Brain to make human behaviour easier to understand and more useful in the real world."Since the book's release, Larche has brought its message to broader audiences through national and international podcast appearances, interviews, and keynote speaking engagements. His central message is direct: people make decisions emotionally before they explain them rationally, and anyone trying to lead, sell, or build trust needs to understand that human reality."After years in broadcasting, branding, and business ownership, you learn that attention and trust are earned," said Larche. "The book is about the human side of decision-making, and about how professionals can be more effective by understanding behaviour more clearly."The Divided Brain: Understanding Human Behaviour in Branding and Business is available through Amazon and major booksellers. The audiobook is available on AudibleBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Erinn Alissa tears into the silence with raw, confrontational energy on her new rock track "What You Didn't Say." Built on ‘90s-tinged guitars and a fierce vocal performance, the slow-burning song explodes into something rawer and harder, living in the space between heartbreak and fury- the quiet ache of someone who once held you at your lowest going silent, until the silence itself starts to sound like goodbye. "What You Didn't Say" shows that nothing can say everything.The song draws heavily on Erinn's 90s alt-rock influences in the electric guitar woven throughout, and the overall vibe, alongside the female-fronted rock she grew up on. "There's a lot of Sheryl Crow's self-titled album in there, the fire of Alanis Morissette, and a little Stevie Nicks magic for the confrontational edge in the lyrics," she says. “All amazing women of rock I have loved since I was a kid.”Born in Albany, NY and now based in Santa Monica, CA, Erinn Alissa is a folk-rock singer-songwriter inspired by the sun-drenched golden era of the '60s and '70s West Coast music scene. A natural performer since childhood, she has built a loyal following through her original music and her residencies at iconic Los Angeles venues including The Hotel Café, Molly Malone's, and The Viper Room. She has also opened for Katey Sagal and performs more than 200 shows a year.Stay connected: Instagram.com/ErinnAlissaMusicWebsite: ErinnAlissa.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

THIS BOOK IS A COLLECTION OF INTERVIEWS with people who have made records with some of the biggest names in music.

Created by GUNGNIR Founder and Publisher Matthew Medney, the series features appearances from a rotating cast of comedians that include Julia Hladkowicz (America's Got Talent, Comics Unleashed), Rama Vallury (Super Pumped), Raquel Woodruff (This Time), Jordan Stidham (The Martian Broadcast), Donna Dubrow(Ex Studio Executive, Professionally Unimpressed), as well as “Ad-Man” legend Cliff Medney. Badd, Gramm-mar is a chaotic comedy series about a dysfunctional Los Angeles book club where every week a new book sparks a completely different collision of personalities, perspectives, and worldviews – which inevitably leads to some form of complete emotional meltdown over conflicting opinions regarding the book. Part review show, part social experiment, and part emotional group therapy disguised as fandom discourse, the series follows a rotating cast of readers, “failed” creatives, intellectuals, romantasy addicts, comic shop lifers, and people still trying to graduate to adulthood. Each episode centers around a new “book of the week,” ranging from science fiction epics and romantasy sensations, to literary classics and underground cult favorites, but the conversations quickly spiral far beyond the page. What starts as debates about stories becomes arguments about class, identity, ambition, politics, love, aging, masculinity, feminism, success, failure, and the increasingly unstable state of modern culture itself.“Badd, Gramm-mar began as an experiment to help readers discover great books, but it quickly evolved into something we believed could be a beacon for the book community.” said Matthew Medney, Founder and Publisher of GUNGNIR.“What emerged wasn't a book club. It was a collision of perspectives. Every episode brings together five voices from different walks of life and asks them to debate the same story, revealing as much about themselves as the book in front of them. The comedy is real, the disagreements are authentic, and occasionally the insights are of value. While we may be reviewing books on the surface, Badd, Gramm-mar is ultimately a conversation about the cultural zeitgeist. Books remain one of the last great bastions of subcultural identity, where tribes are formed, ideas are tested, and the future of culture is quietly negotiated one page at a time.”The series blends emotionally grounded character comedy with improvised chaos, where every member of the club represents a completely different worldview and walk of life. During the season, the club is forced to relocate to a new venue due to its own dysfunction, transforming the setting into an evolving reflection of the group's emotional state. Among the graphic novels and prose the group will be reviewing in its first months include Fourth Wing, Ministry Of Time, Project Hail Mary and Absolute Batman, as well as GUNGNIR titles Aeon, Existence Equation, Last Breeds and Deadweight.

With the full support of the National Hockey League, the Philadelphia Flyers, and Comcast, Cold War in Philly is a gripping 80-minute documentary that revisits the legendary1976 showdown between the Flyers and the dominant Soviet Red Army hockey team.Known for their speed, precision, and discipline, the Soviet squad had taken the hockey world by storm - until they arrived in Philadelphia.What awaited them at the Spectrum was a team, and a city, that refused to be intimidated. Fueled by grit, pride, and a deep-seated distrust of their Cold War rivals, the Flyers and their fans turned the game into something far bigger than hockey. When the puck finally dropped, tensions erupted into one of the most unforgettable clashes in the sport's history.Through candid interviews with players, coaches, media, and fans, the film captures the intensity of that moment while painting a vivid portrait of the Flyers' hard-nosed identity and the passion of their fan base. Set against the backdrop of the Cold War, it also explores how the Soviet style of play reshaped the global game - and how this single matchup left a lasting mark on hockey.Featuring firsthand accounts from those who lived it, Cold War in Philly chronicles the build-up, the battle, and the aftermath of a game that remains a defining chapter in Flyers history - an enduring symbol of a team and a city that stood their ground.Here's the trailer:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OOCMm-evkY Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Animals evolved and flourished in nature for millions of years. In a fraction of that time they have adapted to urban settings in ways that epidemiologists are still puzzling out. How have our cities changed animals forever – and what can we learn from the paths they've taken to coexist with us? Award winning writer and epidemiologist Dan Werb shines a fascinating light on the wild creatures who thrive in metropolises in the new book, OUR WILD FAMILIARS: How Animals Are Adapting to Cities and Reshaping the Natural World. Known as synanthropes, animals such as rats, bats, pigeons, raccoons, and octopi have turned urban areas into increasingly bizarre homes and ecosystems. Even plants like kelp have created new niches for themselves in polluted waterways. Werb reveals how these animals/plants have adapted, become changed by everything from pizza to commuters, and what we can learn from the synanthropes who populate our streets, alleys, skyscrapers, subways, and homes.

The most controversial man in professional wrestling tells all in the story of the upstart TNA with stories that will make your jaw drop.Vince Russo, known as the most successful writer in the history of professional wrestling, brought the World Wrestling Federation to its greatest success during the Attitude Era, creating a brand of wrestling that brought the industry to record heights. Three decades later, Russo is still talked about as one of the most influential men in the industry.Following the success of his first two books, Forgiven (covering his years with Vince McMahon's WWE) and Rope Opera: How WCW Killed Vince Russo (his time with Ted Turner's rival), TOTAL NONSTOP AGONY: The Rise and Fall of TNA picks up Russo's story as he begins work with the upstart TNA, where the daily drama proved greater than ever. The storylines here feature an indecisive millionaire southern belle, Dixie Carter, who cared more about her image then her wrestling company; the demise of his friendship with his best friend, Wrestling Superstar Jeff Jarrett; the network executives at Spike TV, who understood very little about the business they were in; and the return of his mortal enemies from WCW, Eric Bischoff and Hulk Hogan.Russo's TNA stories are epic, and many have never been told before. The politics, runaway egos, backstabbing, and underhandedness make the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills look like Little Women. Finally, the time has come to discuss TNA: this is the tell-all that no one has ever dared, and no one can tell the story better than Vince Russo.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Billy West is one the most accomplished and beloved voice actors alive today. He's brought to life original animated characters like Stimpy from Ren & Stimpy, Doug Funnie, and Philip J. Fry, Dr. Zoidberg, Zapp Brannigan, and Professor Farnsworth (and more) on Futurama. And he's played iconic characters like Bugs Bunny and Elmer Fudd in Space Jam, Popeye, and Woody Woodpecker.Chances are, he's made you laugh many times. You might even know some of his lines by heart.In Voice-A-Versa, West recounts his remarkable life in show business and the circuitous route that got him there, from a radio-call in contest that led to skits on morning radio in Boston, to a one-off appearance on The Howard Stern Show that turned into a regular role, to a big move to Hollywood, and legendary roles working with other talented creators.But West's life story is deeper and darker than that, and this memoir reveals the traumatic upbringing that scarred and shaped him, and which gave birth to the "Billy-verse" of voices."Billy West is the kind of genius you have to write about in the plural. He's not just a brilliant actor, he's a hundred brilliant actors. And this hilarious book will give you the lowdown on Billy's wild lives and unforgettable voices, and how those fevered brains of his crack us all up." -MATT GROENING, The SimpsonsBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

STRANDED IN THE FUTURE is a kind of dystopian self-portrait. It's about obsession, and obsessive behavior. Spanning from 1968 to 1978, it takes in the mythology that teenagers weave around their musical heroes and their early loves: in this case, one specific hero and one specific love. The book explores the way that Hitchcock, in his own head, linked these two figures to each other, although they never actually met.On the way, the story mines the incremental hangover of the 1970s as Hitchcock begins to play live, teaches himself to write songs, and eventually forms the Soft Boys. There's a side order of trolleybuses too! Hitchcock's beautiful prose will resonate far beyond the fans of his music, and build on the literary following he established with his first book, 1967: How I Got There and Why I Never Left.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

An explosive inside account of how the Democratic establishment used every weapon in its arsenal to subvert the will of the people and stop Bernie Sanders's presidential bid in 2016-told by his chief strategist who witnessed it all firsthand.One question haunted the American left after the 2016 election: how could a grassroots movement that drew massive crowds and shattered fundraising records fail? The answer exposes fundamental flaws in American democracy itself.In How the Democrats Screwed Bernie, Sanders's chief strategist in the 2016 Democratic primary unravels how the "Clinton Machine"-a network of operatives, Super PACs, and media allies-in consort with the Democratic National Committee deployed dark money and dirty tricks to stop a wildly popular outsider candidate. A candidate who may well have been the peoples' choice and defeated Donald Trump.You'll discover how deeply the entrenched Democratic establishment orchestrated opposition research campaigns, the true story behind the voter file crisis that nearly derailed the campaign, and why primary rules are deliberately structured to favor insiders over often more compelling outsiders.This isn't just another campaign memoir. Nor is it just a reflection on the doomed Sanders's candidacy ten years hence. It is a cautionary tale about a crisis in American democracy that is becoming more urgent by the day. As voters grapple with growing distrust of political institutions, How the Democrats Screwed Bernie reveals how our democratic processes really work, how they can be manipulated by those with enough money to game the system, and how the people can make their voices heard again.This is the story the Democratic establishment doesn't want you to read.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

THE DEAD OF SUMMER: Ollie Veltman is finally coming home to the quaint island of Anchor's Mercy after a year away while his mom battled cancer. It should be a celebration—his mom is cancer free, and she's determined to have the best summer ever—but Ollie's (now ex) best friends think he abandoned them, and he's returning with a lot of questions. Because for a place that's perfect on the surface, a secret rots below the waves. A secret that could explain his mom's illness, and the illness of so many other locals. Ollie's desperate search for the truth turns life-or-death when a storm descends upon the island. In its wake, a long-sunken horror rises . . . Now Ollie is being held in isolation aboard a military hospital ship in the harbor. They say he's a survivor, but they only know half the story. The truth is more monstrous than Ollie ever believed, and he suspects his saviors aren't here to save anyone. Only Ollie can stop what's coming, but that means getting back to Anchor's Mercy before it vanishes, taking with it everyone he has ever loved.

Stone Heart...This is a bit of a departure as this falls in the women's fiction genre.The story follows Lauren Stone, a successful singer and recovering addict, who learned the hard way that people love her for what she is, not who she is–everyone except for Danny, the ex who broke her heart. On the brink of a career crisis, Lauren has a chance encounter with Danny. They realize their spark is still there, but the risks of pursuing a relationship are higher than ever before for both of them Life is rarely delineated along black and white lines, and I enjoy writing characters who find themselves in morally gray areas between what's considered right and wrong. I think most readers can relate to having to make hard choices, knowing there could be consequences, and struggling to make the best decision–especially when it comes to relationships.And finding a way to tell Lauren's story, which includes a central romantic entanglement, but isn't a romance in the strictest definition of the genre, was a thought-provoking challenge for me as a writer.

From one of cinema's wisest and most penetrating observers, an arresting new perspective on the sweep of film historyDavid Thomson has been called "the greatest living writer on the movies." Here is a career capstone of sorts-a one-volume history of film and screens as illuminating and provocative as his classic Biographical Dictionary of Film. In tracing the progress, from the Lumiere Brothers to the Coens, Thomson glories in the great movies, but admits to increasing unease over what the medium has done to us-promoting fantasy, misleading models of sexual identity, the cult of authority, power, and happy endings.This revisionist history is as alert to technology and business as it is to art and fun in tracing our pursuit of the lifelike instead of life. By turns trenchant, lyrical, and comic, Thomson uncovers our addiction to voyeurism and villainy, and a habit of passivity that has betrayed our political and cultural identity. In a survey that reaches from Metropolis to Rear Window to Anora, this will redirect ideas about film everywhere. As The New York Times has put it, "Thomson proves anew that he is irreplaceable.=Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Sometimes dreams only come true when you build them yourself. For Chris Johnson, that philosophy has defined a remarkable career spanning decades in the music industry. Now, after years spent creating opportunities for other artists while quietly honing his own craft, Johnson is stepping back into the spotlight with his powerful new single, "Better Days Ahead," out June 26 2026, and the first release from his forthcoming album, Tales From The Cowboy Palace.Born and raised in the rural community of Lakeside in San Diego County, California, Johnson grew up balancing life between Future Farmers of America, horseback riding, surfing and skateboarding. Raised among cattle, rodeos, and wide-open spaces, he proudly identifies as an "urban cowboy"—someone who may live in the suburbs but carries a rural spirit at heart.Chris Johnson is a California-born singer-songwriter, musician, entrepreneur, and self-described urban cowboy whose career spans performance, production, sound engineering, venue ownership, and artist development. Raised in Lakeside, California, Johnson has spent decades immersed in the music industry while continuing to write songs rooted in real-life experiences. His upcoming album, Tales From The Cowboy Palace, showcases his distinctive blend of traditional Country storytelling and hard-earned authenticity.Music was woven into Johnson's life from the very beginning. With a mother, aunts, and grandfathers who were all musicians, his passion for songwriting and performance came naturally. By the age of twelve, he was already playing guitar and singing alongside his mother at schools, county fairs, senior centers, and community events. Influenced by legends such as Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Merle Huggard, George Jones, John Denver, and Pete Seeger, Johnson developed a deep appreciation for storytelling through song.As a teenager, he played in school bands before forming his own country rock group. During college, he fronted a local band called Border Tones before pursuing solo performances throughout Southern California. His journey eventually led him to Los Angeles, where he attended Musicians Institute and joined a booking agency that sent him across the country performing corporate events and hotel engagements.While the experience sharpened his skills as a performer, Johnson ultimately felt pulled toward creating music of his own."I really wanted to get back to doing my own music," Johnson recalls. "I didn't even have a house—we were just in band houses and hotel rooms all the time."Back in Los Angeles, Johnson built an impressive behind-the-scenes career, running sound for legendary venues including the Whisky A Go Go and the Roxy, managing backline operations for FM Station. Also, touring as guitar tech for John Fogerty, Styx, Government Mule, Lisa Marie Presley, Chaka Khan and System of A Down. While also performing demo vocals, composing commercial jingles, and providing voiceover work. He also launched his own equipment company, Hollywood Studio Rentals, Valley Production Storage and Drum Paradise LA before eventually purchasing the very Country music venue where he frequently performed—the famed Cowboy Palace.Through every chapter of his career, songwriting remained a constant. Now, Tales From The Cowboy Palace serves as the culmination of a lifetime of experiences, offering listeners an authentic collection of songs centered around perseverance, freedom, fatherhood, motorcycles, hard work, and redemption. Backed by his band, The Hollywood Hillbillies, Johnson delivers a modern Country project enriched by decades of musical influences and real-world experiences.Lead single "Better Days Ahead" stands as a heartfelt anthem for dreamers, workers, and anyone pushing forward through adversity."It's about working my ass off when I had nothing," Johnson says. "Dreaming of giving a better life to my wife and kids."Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.
