Fade To Gray

PK Langley is back and she has a brand new podcast that is sure to interest you. On this episode, PK does an incredible spiritual reading for the majority of Fade to Gray. One of the hosts is scared out of his mind to get a public spiritual reading. The usual skeptic, Chris, is shocked at some of the details that PK picks up on. We've never been more quiet as we couldn't find the words to speak.  Check out PK Langley's podcast here and visit her website here. To hear more of PK's story, check her out on her first appearance on Fade to Gray here.

Fade to Gray Podcast is pleased to announce a new series featuring stories of individuals who have undergone or been of part of reparative therapy (sexual orientation change efforts). In this series, the Fade to Gray team strives to listen, engage and understand the motives behind such efforts and the impact it has had (whether that be positive or negative). It's 2020 after all. It's time we asked the questions and allowed people to share their real experience. This stuff has had a real impact on people's lives and it's time we talked about it.  Let us introduce you to Darren Calhoun. Darren has been known to describe himself as gay, Black, and Christian. However, he is also a lot of other things such as a speaker, musician, photographer, writer, activist and conversation-starter. He grew up in Chicago and came out as gay at age 17. Not long after, he found himself surrounded by Christians who insisted that being gay wasn’t God’s plan for his life. He then spent the next eight years trying to renounce homosexuality and become heterosexual. Time is spent discussing the years of spiritual abuse that followed and explored the lasting impact this has had. While there is trauma, there is also one vital component that is present throughout and that's resiliency.  To learn more about Darren and get involved, check out http://darrencalhoun.com. FYI.

Whats up listeners?! Droping this episode on Election Day, reminding everyone to get out and vote! In this episode Seth, Chris, and Omar catch up with fellow podcaster Dan Smoldt(Smotz) from The System Is Down Podcast the week before he went on campaign tour with Spike Cohen, the VP candidate for the Libertarian Party.  This conversation didn't lack drama as none of the host for FTG are voting for the same candidate, but its all in good fun. Even though we don't agree, and politics are often considered a "taboo" topic the conversation stayed light hearted and respectful. Obviously we discussed the big two partiess that control it all, but also dove into Jo Jorgensen and libertarian polices as well as shed a little light about what Unity2020 ticket is all about. Wether or not you are voting red, blue, green, or gold this election season. The most important thing is you vote your conscience.   Also, you don't have to be an ass to the "other side"   To follow Dan or The System Is Down Podcast follow this link To find out more about Fade To Gray Podcast and how you can partner with us, or want to be a guess contact us here

This episode is Omar's moms favorite, and I'm sure it will be some of y'alls Benjamin Lerner, the Great-grandson of Irving Berlin (composer of such iconic tunes as “God Bless America” and “White Christmas”), is a Vermont-based Composer, Writer, and Recovery Advocate. Benjamin started his musical career as a classical piano prodigy. By his early twenties, he was an IV heroin and crack cocaine addict. Now sober since June 13, 2016, he journals his journey in addiction and sobriety in his all new piano-raps, which combine classical piano and rap. Benjamin credits his continued success in recovery to his ability to express his emotions relating to his struggle through word and song.  His debut album, CLEAN, was released in February 2020. It was produced at Old Mill Road Recording in East Arlington, Vermont. Benjamin is a great dude, we get to know a little more of his story and the influences as well as creative vision for his music.
