Arroe Collins Like It's Live

Through Jack in Love,  author, Roberta Grimes explores how the social revolution of 1968—women's liberation, cultural upheaval, changing values, and technological transformation—created questions we are still asking today about love, identity, faith, and reinvention.In a new romance novel, Jack In Love, set in late 1960s New York City, author Roberta Grimes raises some key issues that women had to confront back then -- and still do even today, such as making choices about marriage vs a career, understanding the role of wealth and financial security in a relationship, and defining whether to adhere to societal norms or not. It is a book about love, womanhood, and the choices and sacrifices we make that ultimately drive the life we make for ourselves. Inspired by some real-life events, it is a gripping, emotional, and character-driven story that is sure to unleash many conversations amongst the generations of all women. Grimes, who has penned several novels, including Almost Perfect (Berkley), about a young, pretty, and successful woman, Kim Bonner, who wrestles with the affections of two very different men and with a dark crime of the past that threatens her happiness and success.

  Do you believe in resurrections?  They happen every day.  But are you willing to listen, to participate, to explore and find newer ways to understand your personal journey? This podcast isn't about what we study and see through the eyes of religion. My Boy Boy Ernie spoke with me every chance we had together.  But this isn't about resurrecting a spiritual brother of nearly 34 years.  This resurrection is that of a writing instrument. Verbal documentation of what some may call a vision quest.  Trusting the great mysteries of life.  Tools are handed to us to carve out each expectation.  This tool was laid to rest inside a forest floor.  To experience the elements of reality while connecting with a universe that unconditionally shares its stories.  But whose writing it?  Welcome to The Resurrection…   Close:    The Resurrection is a true story.  Learn more about this forest and My Boy Boy Ernie on Arroe.net.  His story, journey and new path with a writing instrument are available on the podcast The Lyrics From Ernie's Forest. Future episodes of this podcast will focus on the transition of materialistic value to that of an authentic storyteller.  The ice storms, a record setting 11 inches of snow, the fear of walking to the grave site to find nothing. The Resurrection.  Faith, hope, forgiveness and discovery. What lessons will the writing instrument bring back to the surface of walking forward?  Let it rise above our tears.  Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Has the U.S. government been conducting a slow-drip UFO disclosure campaign through Hollywood movies and television for more than 70 years? The new podcast Sound, Light & Frequency tackles that mind-blowing question through an ongoing investigation hosted by two Hollywood insiders: Bryce Zabel and Brent Friedman, both successful writer/producers with hundreds of credits. Bryce and Brent publicly share, for the first time, the full account of their surreal encounter with a "Man in Black" who offered them a deal to use their primetime alien-invasion drama series, Dark Skies to spread UFO truths. Each episode takes listeners behind the scenes of iconic films and TV series, connecting what's been portrayed on screen to what might be happening in real life-and asking whether other creators were offered "the deal," too.Episodes available here:https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-sound-light-frequency-322475383/ Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

When the President of the United States is assassinated in a coordinated drone strike, the country plunges into chaos. But the attack isn't terrorism. It's a strategy.In BLACKOUT: A Jake Bendel Thriller (October 6, 2026; 979-8990527379; JTech Publishing), Amazon bestselling author, J. Luke Bennecke delivers a high-stakes techno-thriller packed with cutting-edge technology, geopolitical intrigue, and relentless suspense.Behind the assassination stands a brilliant and ruthless leader of a shadowy global cabal determined to accelerate the collapse of American dominance. Their plan is chilling in its simplicity: eliminate the president, cripple the nation's power grid, and plunge the United States into darkness long enough for rival superpowers to seize the advantage.Civil engineer Jake Bendel never expected to find himself on the front lines of that war. As one of the architects of America's revolutionary AI-driven energy grid, he helped design the very system now being weaponized against his country.When cascading blackouts sweep across the nation and martial law looms, Jake teams up with FBI agent Kristi Konnors to track the network orchestrating the attacks. What they uncover is far more dangerous than a cyberattack-an international conspiracy positioned to hand America's collapse to China and Russia.Now Jake must stop a war before it begins. Because if the lights go out across America, the invasion won't be far behind. And the people who built the system may be the only ones who can stop it.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

American Sign Language is used by the deaf, hearing-impaired, and those who teach, live, and work with them, which totals up to around two million people in North America. But an award-winning and best-selling children's book author, Kathleen Marcath, believes many more kids should learn ASL. “It provides many educational and social advantages,” she says.“What truly sets this book apart is its thoughtful inclusion of American Sign Language (ASL),” says the author of My Monster Truck Goes Everywhere with Me, and a companion book, My Monster Truck Goes Everywhere with Me: Coloring and Activity Book. Each page introduces children  new to ASL signs and helpful tips, seamlessly blending play with education. From the moment I opened the book, the integration of sign language stood out as both unique and valuable. It's rare to see a children's activity book that so beautifully encourages communication and inclusivity while remaining entertaining.The learning opportunities feel endless. I could easily envision this being used not only at home but also within classroom settings. The educational value is immense, as children develop language, fine motor, and cognitive skills while discovering a new way to communicate through ASL. Her book is a vibrant new adventure in learning and play. Additionally, she has a 77-page color & activity book that provides fun and helps young readers discover the limitless potential of American Sign Language (ASL). Packed with variety, the coloring and activity book offers everything from sentence-writing practice and time-telling exercises to vocabulary building and art activities along with monster trucks, puzzles, mazes, early math, and writing prompts, this book gives children a hands-on way to explore language and build confidence through play. Whether your child is just beginning to sign or already loves ASL, they'll find pages filled with laughter, challenge, and discovery.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Day Of Epiphany by Canadian author/actor, Jerome J Bourgault is the recent winner of CANREADS Award for Historical Fiction 2026, available now on Amazon and Indigo.   Bourgault's highly anticipated book is an exploration of a dark chapter in Canadian and specifically Quebecois history: the “Grande Noirceur” (“Great Darkness”) of 1944–1959.  The Catholic Church wielded its influence through the provincial government, controlling education, healthcare and orphanages. Day of Epiphany is both powerful and unsettling, as it examines the systemic abuse and scars left by religious institutions.  An uncomfortable reminder, some would prefer left alone…   Day Of Epiphany delivers why in shocking detail.Day of Epiphany takes place in 1950s Quebec as the province languishes under the oppressive dual authorities of the Roman Catholic Church and the autocratic government of Maurice Duplessis.  In the small town of St-Jolain, young Sister Cassandra Lalonde works tirelessly as a teacher at the Ste-Madeleine (Ste-M) Orphanage. It's a difficult life for the children, but Cassandra has hope for four of Ste-M's best and brightest young teens—Suzanne, Hélène, Diane, and Eleanora, with whom she has forged a powerful bond.  Day Of Epiphany is their journey. After an explosion closes the orphanage, the nuns and children return to find the rebuilt facility has been re-designated by the Duplessis government as a psychiatric hospital, and the orphans have been “reclassified” as mental patients. To make matters worse, Ste-M has been merged with a notoriously brutal psychiatric hospital from another parish, whose patients and staff are fully integrated with the resident population of the new Sainte-Madeleine Institute. In the living nightmare that follows, Sister Cassandra struggles to recognize God's hand in such darkness. As casualties begin to mount, Cassandra must resort to increasingly drastic measures to protect those under her care.  Bourgault's Day Of Epiphany is a must-read story of moral complexity, personal resilience, loss and redemption. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

In a world of labels being placed on people, one father and one son were determined to break that tag, even if it was one of autism. This is their story. In a world quick to label, judge, and box in people, one father and son stood firm and refused to be defined by an autism diagnosis. If you're channel surfing and happen upon Leland Vittert during his nightly national cable show on NewsNation, he comes off as a poised journalist prying nuggets from guests. If you watched him for years as an anchor at Fox News Channel, you saw him on the battlefields of the Middle East, the anchor desk, and the White House North Lawn. No one, including friends and co-workers, has ever known his full life story and how miraculous it was to get to that point.Leland was a socially awkward boy who didn't speak for years, and when he finally did, teachers and leaders declared him "weird." His unique behavior and inability to connect with his peers made him a frequent target for bullying and exclusion. In one particularly harsh moment, a school principal bluntly told his parents, "The people here think Leland is pretty weird. I guess I do, too." Those words felt like being shot with an arrow, as his parents sat in stunned silence, grappling with their own fears and uncertainties for their son's future. From a young age, Leland showed signs of being Autistic, a term rarely used at the time, struggling with social cues, communication, and behavioral norms that came naturally to other kids. The diagnosis didn't deter his father, Mark. He knew the world wouldn't change for Leland, so he quit his job and began changing Leland for the world. He became a full-time parent-coach, training Leland and teaching him the skills he needed to navigate in society. Simple concepts like eye contact, understanding humor, and instilling motivations had to be taught painstakingly. From hundreds of pushups at age 7 to toughen him against bullies, to coaching him through complex social interactions, Mark's relentless dedication changed the trajectory of Leland's life. Born Lucky offers an intimate look into their inspiring journey. Leland lays bare his experiences of the crushing bullying during middle and high school, the sting of rejection continuing into college, and his ultimate transformation into an esteemed journalist. But above all, this book is a love letter from a grateful son, who despite his diagnosis, trusted his father and defied all odds. It offers hope to every parent and every child who is grappling with their own unique challenges, to be inspired to break labels, tear down the walls that society builds, and create a better future.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Bay Area hard rockers Corvus Lore return with a striking new visual for their latest single, “Promise You”—a slow-burning power ballad that showcases the band's ability to balance raw emotion with arena-sized ambition.Over the past decade, Corvus Lore have built their reputation sharing bills with heavyweights like Tesla, Richie Kotzen, and Dizzy Reed. The four-piece has honed a sound rooted in classic hard rock grit, elevated by melodic instincts and a modern sense of scale.“Promise You” may be their most emotionally resonant statement yet. The track opens in near silence—just acoustic guitar and exposed, vulnerable vocals—before gradually unfolding into a full-bodied arrangement driven by pounding drums and layered electric guitars. By the time it hits its chorus, the song transforms into something cinematic: soaring, urgent, and undeniably anthemic.The newly released video mirrors that dynamic arc. It leans into the song's intimacy early on, drawing viewers into a personal, almost confessional space before expanding outward in scope and intensity. As the instrumentation swells, so does the visual narrative, reinforcing the song's central theme—commitment that endures, no matter the odds.Lyrically, “Promise You” trades in vivid, elemental imagery while keeping its message grounded and relatable. Lines like “When the oceans dry, I will be the tide” strike a balance between poetic ambition and emotional clarity, underscoring a devotion that feels both deeply personal and universally understood.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Some horses don't just change your life, they save it.Arty's blood runs hot. White hot. A white Lusitano stallion with bullfighting in his bones, he was born on a prestigious Brazilian farm and sold through an elite auction to a private ranch in California. There, human misunderstanding dims his brilliance. Rider after rider mistakes his sensitivity for defiance, eroding his confidence and trust.As an Army brat, Erin relates. She grew up always moving—the perpetual new kid, never quite belonging, rarely feeling understood. Her love for horses was her only constant. So, when Arty's owner recognizes he needs something different and offers to sell him to her, she can't refuse.What follows isn't a fairytale. Erin questions everything: her choices, her ability, whether she's helping or hurting him. But when unexpected loss shatters her, Arty steps forward to light a path through darkness.Told from both human and horse perspectives, The Brat and the Bullfighter is a dual coming-of-age memoir about trust, love, and the bond that forms between two souls who, in finding each other, finally find home.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

The book asks such questions as: What can America's 75th year in 1851 teach us about its 250th in 2026? Where do the similarities lie, and how does that earlier moment illuminate the present? Epic, richly cinematic, the book is: loosely based on the Starbucks - who were one of the founding families of Nantucket…and inspired by historical events – including the maiden voyage of the famous 1851 Boston-built Flying Cloud ship which sailed from New York to San Francisco in a groundbreaking 89 days and 21 hours. A page-turning adventure following Nantucket 18 year old, Winifred, daughter of renowned merchant captains Nell and Peter Starbuck, who longs to join her parents on their final voyage to China in 1851. Forbidden from the journey, Winnie takes matters into her own hands and stows away with them, sailing straight into danger and deception to confront a family secret that could change everything. For lovers of historical fiction, maritime adventure, and richly layered storytelling, readers will be prompted to reflect on the forces that shaped our nation's rise — and the cost of that ascent.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Ways of Listening is a love letter to music, a sharp analysis of our current cultural reality, and a joyful celebration of the artists who keep creating against all odds.  How has the internet changed the way we listen to, and love, the music that shapes our lives? Award-winning musician Rollie Pemberton (Cadence Weapon) interrogates our current musical landscape.  Music occupies a curious place in modern life, somehow omnipresent and disposable at the same time. Computers have democratized song creation. There is more music being produced now than at any point in human history and streaming platforms are the ultimate distribution model for this vast bounty.    But streaming relies on an algorithmic discovery system that guides the user's choices and encourages them to listen passively to the company's curation, while also dissuading the listener from searching for music and developing their own taste. Streamers offer meagre royalties to artists on their platforms, largely devaluing music in the public sphere. And social media companies have taught a whole generation of young listeners to perceive music as merely background noise for content.    This all adds up to a bleak landscape for the true fan, but there's another way. Pemberton delves deep into his own music discovery process to present a gentle reminder of another path for the contemporary music lover. He explores the obsession with the “mysterious artist” archetype, studies Charli xcx's groundbreaking Brat album rollout, assesses the magic of demo recordings, breaks down the Kendrick Lamar - Drake beef, and examines AI's struggle to understand Italo disco's strange balance of classic and cringe.  Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

The film traces the turbulent, transcendent life of Gregg Allman: from a childhood ruptured by his father's murder to the soulful emergence that reshaped American music. Through archival recordings, candid interviews, and electric performances, we witness Gregg's musical awakening amid the blues he worshipped, the creation of the Allman Brothers Band with his brother, Duane, that would birth Southern Rock, and the grief that followed Duane's fatal motorcycle crash.THE MUSIC OF MY SOUL explores Gregg's lifelong battle with addiction, his seven marriages (including his high-profile union with Cher), and the late-life sobriety that allowed him to reckon with his past. Featuring never-before-seen interviews, the film examines not just the artist's private wounds but the wider American psyche - race, loss, longing, and reinvention - during Gregg's lifetime. Musicians (such as Jackson Browne), friends, and family illuminate how an integrated band in the segregated South challenged boundaries while forging a sound that was both raw and redemptive. Director James Keach is a Grammy and Golden Globe-winning filmmaker whose past credits include numerous music-centric films such as WALK THE LINE, GLEN CAMPBELL: I'LL BE ME, and LINDA RONSTADT: THE SOUND OF MY VOICE.Here's the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJT3aUjPHv4 Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Part memoir by the daughter of the iconic comedian Richard Pryor, part exploration of the historical and contemporary use of the N-word, this hybrid book peels back the curtain on the life of Pryor and exposes the complex history and legacy of the most perplexing word in the American lexicon, a word he helped popularize.When a white student quoted a line from Blazing Saddles, blurting out the N-word in the middle of class, Professor Elizabeth Pryor froze. In that moment, she was shockingly confronted with not only the most notorious slur in the United States, but the line quoted by the student was one her father - the iconic comedian Richard Pryor - had written.The N-word is one of the most perplexing, controversial and misunderstood words in the American lexicon. After the incident in her classroom, Professor Pryor dove into her research to better understand the history of the word, and processed it with her students, eventually emerging as a leading scholar on the n-word as witnessed in her popular Ted Talk, "Why it's so hard to talk about the N-word."The more she learned, the more Elizabeth's own memories of the N-word rose to the surface. Growing up the Black and Jewish biracial daughter of a groundbreaking Black comedian - navigating the world her Jewish mother showed her and the Hollywood her father shared - meant the word was part of the most painful, but also tender moments of her life. Her reckoning with this word meant a reckoning with memories of her father, who skyrocketed to fame in the 1970's, making the n-word a hallmark of his act.SOMETHING WE SAID: Richard Pryor, a Notorious Word and Me is a hybrid: part memoir of the daughter of a legendary comedian, part exploration of the historical and contemporary use of the n-word, seamlessly braided together. Elizabeth not only peels back the curtain on life with Richard Pryor, a comedian Jerry Seinfeld has called the "Picasso of our profession," but also our country's legacy of racism and Black resilience.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.
