Packed with inspiration, laughs, and crafty wisdom, this episode is a reminder that your creative journey doesn't have to be perfect it just has to stick.=====Hosted By: Dr. Lisa WoolforkSenior Producer: Krystal HillProducer: Mike Bryant=====Where You Can Find More Deborah!============Dr. Lisa Woolfork is an associate professor of English specializing in African American literature and culture.

Transcript:Da: Det var en solrig sommerdag ved Louisiana Museum of Modern Art.En: It was a sunny summer day at the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art.Da: Solens stråler spillede på vandoverfladen, og en let brise snurrede gennem skulpturhaven.En: The sun's rays danced on the water's surface, and a gentle breeze swirled through the sculpture garden.Da: Mikkel stod nervøst foran museets store glasfacade sammen med sine klassekammerater.En: Mikkel stood nervously in front of the museum's large glass facade with his classmates.Da: Han holdt sin projektmappe tæt til sig, som om den kunne beskytte ham mod den kommende udfordring.En: He held his project folder close to him, as if it could shield him from the coming challenge.Da: Ida og Elias snakkede ivrigt om deres projekter.En: Ida and Elias chatted eagerly about their projects.Da: "Mit maleri viser, hvordan lys og skygge skaber drama," sagde Ida med et selvsikkert smil.En: "My painting shows how light and shadow create drama," said Ida with a confident smile.Da: Elias grinede, "Jeg har lavet en skulptur af genbrugsmaterialer.En: Elias laughed, "I've made a sculpture from recycled materials.Da: Den symboliserer forandring."En: It symbolizes change."Da: Mikkel lyttede stille, bange for, at hans eget projekt ville falme ved siden af deres.En: Mikkel listened quietly, afraid that his own project would pale in comparison to theirs.Da: Museet var fyldt med kunst fra hele verden.En: The museum was filled with art from all over the world.Da: Sammensmeltningen af moderne værker og den danske kystlinjes skønhed gav Mikkel den inspiration, han behøvede.En: The fusion of modern works and the beauty of the Danish coastline gave Mikkel the inspiration he needed.Da: Alligevel greb usikkerheden fat i ham.En: Still, uncertainty took hold of him.Da: Hans projekt virkede pludselig simpelt.En: His project suddenly seemed simple.Da: Kun en serie af farverige abstrakte malerier.En: Just a series of colorful abstract paintings.Da: Men så, en installation fangede hans opmærksomhed.En: But then, an installation caught his attention.Da: Et kreativt samspil af lys og farver, der legede med beskuerens perception.En: A creative interplay of light and colors that played with the viewer's perception.Da: Mikkel blev betaget.En: Mikkel was captivated.Da: Måske skulle han tage en chance?En: Perhaps he should take a chance?Da: Skabe noget uventet?En: Create something unexpected?Da: Det blev Mikkels tur til at præsentere.En: It was Mikkel's turn to present.Da: Han tog en dyb indånding og så på sine lærere og klassekammerater.En: He took a deep breath and looked at his teachers and classmates.Da: "Jeg vil vise, hvordan farver kan ændre vores opfattelse af virkeligheden," sagde han og pegede mod sin installation, der nu inkluderede et lysværk inspireret af det, han havde set tidligere.En: "I want to show how colors can change our perception of reality," he said, pointing to his installation, which now included a light piece inspired by what he had seen earlier.Da: Rummet blev stille, men snart fyldt med hvisken.En: The room went silent, but soon filled with whispers.Da: Mikkel kunne mærke sit hjerte banke hurtigt.En: Mikkel could feel his heart pounding rapidly.Da: Hans lærer, fru Jensen, betragtede værket nøje.En: His teacher, Mrs. Jensen, examined the work closely.Da: "Det er modigt, Mikkel.En: "It is bold, Mikkel.Da: Jeg ser, hvordan du har brugt lys sammen med maleriet.En: I see how you have used light together with the painting.Da: Det skaber noget helt nyt," sagde hun med en varm stemme.En: It creates something entirely new," she said in a warm voice.Da: Ida nikkede.En: Ida nodded.Da: "Det er virkelig inspirerende," mumlede hun, og Elias tilføjede, "Det er anderledes, og jeg kan lide det."En: "It's truly inspiring," she murmured, and Elias added, "It's different, and I like it."Da: Mikkel mærkede en bølge af lettelse og stolthed som aldrig før.En: Mikkel felt a wave of relief and pride like never before.Da: Han smilede bredt for første gang den dag.En: He smiled widely for the first time that day.Da: Han indså, at modet til at tage chancer kunne føre til noget smukt og uventet.En: He realized that the courage to take chances could lead to something beautiful and unexpected.Da: Louisiana havde ikke blot givet ham inspiration til hans projekt, men også en ny tillid til at stole på sine kreative instinkter.En: Louisiana had not only given him inspiration for his project but also a newfound confidence to trust his creative instincts.Da: Havet bruste stille i baggrunden, mens solen sænkede sig over horisonten.En: The sea roared quietly in the background as the sun set over the horizon.Da: Mikkel gik hjem den dag med nyfundet selvtillid og viden om, at hans vej i kunstens verden lige var begyndt.En: Mikkel went home that day with newfound self-assurance and the knowledge that his journey in the world of art had just begun.

Recorded live at a SAND Community Gathering (April 2026) Hard times are here, we hunger for voices that can see beyond the fear, beyond the noise, beyond the technologies consuming our attention. We need poets and visionaries. People who remember freedom. Dr. Jaiya John (Mshkiki Odeh Inini, Medicine Heart Man), medicine poet, freedom worker, is one of those voices. He has spent his life gathering words that heal. In this conversation, we enter the beauty, the grief, and the medicine together. We sit with the devastation tearing our world, the sorrows cracking us open, the ancestors still holding us—and the radical insistence that collective freedom is not something we chase. It is something already alive in and between us, waiting to be birthed. Dr. Jaiya John (Mshkiki Odeh Inini, Medicine Heart Man) was orphan-born on ancient Indigenous Anasazi and Pueblo lands in the high desert of New Mexico. He is an ancestral Baba, freedom worker, medicine poet, and the founder of Soul Water Rising—a global mission to eradicate oppression through re-humanization, book donations, and grants to displaced youth. He is the author of numerous books including Freedom: Medicine Words for your Brave Revolution and Fragrance After Rain, and the creator of the podcast I Will Read for You. A former professor of social psychology at Howard University, he holds a doctorate from UC Santa Cruz and has spoken to over a million people worldwide. His Indigenous soul dreams of frybread, sweetgrass, bamboo in the breeze, and turtle lakes whose poetry is peace. Watch the full video version of this conversation.

There's a difference between questioning God and bringing our questions to God. In Session Two, Beth explores Job's suffering further by focusing on three cycles of dialogue between Eliphaz, Bildad, Zophar and Job.

Hello voices from the bench community, John Wilson here and I wanted to share some news about the evolution of the Programill lineup. Most importantly, Ivoclar's new PrograMill 7. What stands out right away is the reduced air consumption this mill requires, but what you'll notice first is that impressive new touchscreen. For us, the biggest advantage has been increased spindle power. My laboratory's known for these larger cases with complex geometries, and I can tell you that extra power really makes a difference. Next time you see your Ivoclar representative, be sure to ask about the PrograMill 7 and tell them John Wilson sent you. Thank you. At exocad Insights in beautiful Mallorca, we finally caught up with Felix from Imagine USA—and the timing couldn't have been better. As an exocad dealer on the front lines of digital dentistry, Felix shared his excitement about the strong turnout, the familiar faces, and most importantly, the innovation coming from exocad. What stood out most? The new exocad Hub and its cloud-based capabilities, along with powerful AI-driven tools inside DentalDB designed for efficient batch processing. For Felix and the Imagine team, it's not just about seeing what's new—it's about putting it to the test. By running new features through their own production facility first, they ensure real-world performance before bringing solutions to their customers. Beyond the technology, Felix emphasized the value of being there in person—connecting face-to-face with partners, having meaningful conversations, and stepping back to see where the industry is headed. And of course, doing it all in Mallorca doesn't hurt either. This week Elvis and Barb are back at exocad Insights 2026 where the microphones captured two very different conversations that somehow landed on the exact same thing: passion still matters. First up, we sat down with longtime dental technicians and Oral Design International Foundation members Pinhas Adar and Javier Perez to talk about the legacy of the legendary Willi Geller and how one man helped elevate dental technicians from the shadows to respected members of the restorative team. From stories of learning under masters in Switzerland to building a worldwide family of 127 members across 34 countries, the conversation dives deep into friendship, mentorship, craftsmanship, and why face-to-face connection still matters in a digital world. They also share details about upcoming memorial and symposium events dedicated to carrying on Willi's philosophy of passion, respect, and sharing knowledge without ego. Then the crew caught up with returning guest Dora Rodrigues, who has gone from conversion queen to certified exocad trainer, full-arch educator, and lab owner running an increasingly digital workflow. Dora talks about finally bringing milling in-house, the terrifying learning curve that came with it, and how mastering workflows like split bars and partial CAD has completely changed the way she designs full-arch restorations. Between traveling internationally to lecture, teaching labs how to streamline their workflows, and still designing cases herself, Dora proves that digital dentistry still takes serious technical skill, problem-solving, and obsession with detail. It's an episode full of passion, legacy, technology, and the reminder that no matter how digital dentistry gets… the people behind it still make all the difference. Today's dental labs are under more pressure than ever — tighter turnaround times, staffing challenges, and nonstop production demands. That's why efficiency and reliability matter more than ever before. More laboratories continue turning to Roland DGA and the proven performance of the DGSHAPE DWX Series milling solutions to keep production moving smoothly. Reliable workflows help reduce downtime, minimize remakes, and allow technicians to focus on quality work instead of troubleshooting equipment. For labs exploring digital dentures, the Elevate Denture Solution offers a streamlined workflow with validated CAM strategies and Ivotion compatibility through hyperDENT software — helping labs adopt digital production without unnecessary complexity. Because labs don't need more stress. They need dependable systems that simply work.Special Guests: Dora Rodrigues, Javier Perez Lopez, and Pinhas Adar MDT, CDT.

In the first session on the book of Job, Beth Moore begins to unpack the literary masterpiece by highlighting a few distinctions about the book. We'll journey into the heavenly courtroom to hear Satan's claim. We'll read together, eyes wide open to the horrific scene that unfolds in Job's life. In a journey of faith, we are challenged to navigate relationship with this God we cannot see nor fully comprehend and certainly cannot control. Can we trust someone we have no capacity to control? We have crises of faith so disturbing to us that we feel like we can't tell it to others yet, we need desperately to know we are not alone. So aware is our God of this condition, he made certain we would not only find company but find it in the actual biblical canon itself. There is despair. And then there is baffled despair.

Send us Fan MailA tribute to the soulful sounds and legacy of Myles Ealy aka ERLEE. Gone to soon…

Musicality is one of those qualities teachers ask for constantly, and yet almost never explain. "Be more musical. Feel the music. Let it move through you..." But what does that actually mean?In this episode, I'm back with Chelsea Weidmann, The Geeky Ballerina, as part of our ongoing series unpacking the elements of artistry she identified in her thesis on Artistry in Ballet. Today's topic: musicality — one of the most personal and most debated elements of all.In this episode we talk about whether musicality is something you're born with or something you can learn, why so many dancers can hear the music but struggle to translate it into their body (and why that's ok!) and Chelsea's clarifying framework for musicality (including elements like rhythm, tempo, dynamics, and more!)If you've ever been told to be more musical but had no idea where to start, this episode will give you a framework, a language, and some practical tools to actually get there.

“I think that sound drives the emotion of a scene, right? As much as dialogue, right? Sound and music, score in particular… I just think it helps to create emotion in a scene or augments the performances. Because you gotta have great performances, but great performance coupled with, you know, great sound design or a great score, it just makes you feel, it does something, it makes you tingle. It does something to you that just envelops you in that moment, right?” – Kenneth JohnsonThis episode is the second half of my conversation with sonic storyteller and founder of Artistry in Sound, Kenneth Johnson, as we talk about his experiences as one of the earliest Black sound designers in Hollywood, the changes that AI and streaming media have brought to sound design, and how horror movies in particular combine a variety of sound approaches to make a powerful impact.As always, if you have questions for my guest, you're welcome to reach out through the links in the show notes.

Both those things really help, and I'd love to feature your review on future podcasts. You can leave one either in written or in voice format from the podcast's main page. I would so appreciate that.(00:00) – The Role of Sound in FilmOur discussion continues as Kenneth walks us through the process of sound design, from shooting script to the recording booth.“As I'm reading the script,” he tells us, “I'm sort of envisioning the project and thinking about, okay, well, what do I think it should sound like? And what can I do to embellish those scenes? And so once I've kind of digested that, then we do what's called the spotting session with the creatives.” He tells us more about creating a cinematic soundscape and reveals just how little of what the audience hears comes from the action onscreen. “Everything, usually, other than the dialogue, we recreate,” he says. “Whether that's a car race, a spaceship, or it's by a river, everything that you hear, all the ambience, all the sound effects are redone. We've recreated that whole soundscape.”(15:45) – Production Recording vs. Post-ProductionKenneth tells us about his up-and-coming experiences in Hollywood and the importance of diversity in the sound industry. “What I do is I try to give people opportunities,” he explains. “My team, you know, are from their early twenties to forty, and the majority are African American, and the majority of them, well, all of them, basically, I trained and mentored. And they're very talented.” We discuss the growing role of AI and streaming content in sound editing, and how much software apps have changed the process since his audio career began in the ‘90s. “Once we put [the audio track] into iZotope RX,” he tells us, “we could see it, and so I had to figure out what's making this resonance. I had to take some things out, and it turns out it was a metal music stand that was vibrating and causing that frequency.”(25:30) – The Future of Sound DesignOur conversation comes to a close as we talk about the different roles and responsibilities involved in cinematic sound, from soundtracks to dialogue to each layer of Foley sound. “We want it to be able to breathe because if you just throw everything on the wall,” he says, “then it's not going to be as nice as if you selectively pick what's going up there. That's important to figure out, who's going to handle what, because a lot of times sound design and score can overlap.” Kenneth tells listeners how they can get in touch, and he offers his advice for newcomers in the sound industry, including the value of hands-on experience. “I can take you to a class and talk for a few hours about techniques… Are you going to retain that? Probably not,” he says. “If you're able to get in there like I did and have access to being able to work and try out different things and get advice, you're going to move faster.”Episode SummaryWe discuss how sound drives emotion and shapes a movie's narrative.Kenneth outlines his creative process from script reading to ambient sound design.Insights and advice from Kenneth for the next generation of sound designers.Connect with the Audio Branding Podcast:Book your project with Voice Overs and Vocals by visiting https://voiceoversandvocals.comConnect with me on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/jodikrangle/Watch the Audio Branding Podcast on YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/c/JodiKrangleVOConnect with me on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/jodikrangle/Leave the Audio Branding Podcast a review at https://lovethepodcast.com/audiobranding (Thank you!)Share your passion effectively with these Tips for Sounding Your Best as a Podcast Guest!https://voiceoversandvocals.com/tips-for-sounding-your-best-as-a-podcast-guest/Get my Top Five Tips for Implementing an Intentional Audio Strategyhttps://voiceoversandvocals.com/audio-branding-strategy/Editing/Production by Humberto Franco - https://humbertofranco.com/This podcast uses the following third-party services for analysis: OP3 - https://op3.dev/privacy

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with singer and songwriter Lila Forde for a conversation that feels like it's unfolding mid-song, equal parts instinct, craft, and heart. I actually discovered Lila in the most “Bandwich” way possible: while preparing for my episode with Larry Goldings, I heard her voice in a video and immediately texted a few musician friends saying, “You need to hear this singer.” That moment led to this conversation.Lila shares how her collaboration with Larry Goldings has been developing, and the creative process behind it: record everything, follow the spark, and build outward from the accidental moments that feel alive. Hearing her describe that approach, trusting discovery instead of forcing results, made me even more excited about what they're creating together.We spend a lot of time talking about voice, not range or technique, but identity. Lila recalls a powerful moment from John Legend during her time on The Voice: "Don't try to out-sing anyone… just be Lila." That idea opens up a deeper conversation about influence versus imitation, the pressure to fit into genre boxes, and the constant temptation to chase whatever sound the internet is rewarding in the moment.Lila's musical roots run deep, from classical piano at home to years in the Seattle Girls Choir, and later jazz studies that reshaped how she hears harmony and melody. She explains how ear training and solfege still influence her songwriting today, and why understanding just a little bit of theory can unlock creative freedom for singers.We also talk honestly about the gig-life reality that many musicians know well: some of your biggest growth happens when nobody is paying attention. For Lila, that meant years of hotel-lobby gigs, four hours a night, five nights a week, where she learned to experiment, take risks, and build a durable musical voice. We close by talking about her debut album Vessel, recorded live with the band in just three days, and how she's stepping into a bigger creative leadership role as she works on her next record.Key TakeawaysAuthenticity defines artistic voice — the goal isn't to out-sing others, but to sound like yourself.Creative discovery often comes from accidents — capturing and following spontaneous musical moments can lead to powerful ideas.Influence is different from imitation — artists grow by absorbing influences while protecting their own identity.Musical training builds creative vocabulary — ear training, harmony, and theory can open doors for singers.Gig experience shapes real musicianship — long, quiet gigs often provide the space to experiment and grow.Recording live captures energy — tracking Vessel with the band in three days preserved the immediacy of the music.Leadership evolves with each project — Lila is stepping further into the creative driver's seat with her next record.Music from the EpisodeTemptation - Lila FordeAll I Expected - Lila FordeBrick by Brick - Lila FordeAbout the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is a podcast hosted by Brad Williams, featuring conversations with musicians, composers, producers, and creative thinkers about their musical journeys.

Hello voices from the bench community, John Wilson here and I wanted to share some news about the evolution of the Programill lineup. Most importantly, Ivoclar's new PrograMill 7. What stands out right away is the reduced air consumption this mill requires, but what you'll notice first is that impressive new touchscreen. For us, the biggest advantage has been increased spindle power. My laboratory's known for these larger cases with complex geometries, and I can tell you that extra power really makes a difference. Next time you see your Ivoclar representative, be sure to ask about the PrograMill 7 and tell them John Wilson sent you. Thank you. At exocad Insights in beautiful Mallorca, we finally caught up with Felix from Imagine USA—and the timing couldn't have been better. As an exocad dealer on the front lines of digital dentistry, Felix shared his excitement about the strong turnout, the familiar faces, and most importantly, the innovation coming from exocad. What stood out most? The new exocad Hub and its cloud-based capabilities, along with powerful AI-driven tools inside DentalDB designed for efficient batch processing. For Felix and the Imagine team, it's not just about seeing what's new—it's about putting it to the test. By running new features through their own production facility first, they ensure real-world performance before bringing solutions to their customers. Beyond the technology, Felix emphasized the value of being there in person—connecting face-to-face with partners, having meaningful conversations, and stepping back to see where the industry is headed. And of course, doing it all in Mallorca doesn't hurt either. This episode finally brings a long-awaited conversation to life with Kent Kohli, a name many in the industry recognize—but maybe don't fully know the story behind. From an unexpected entry into dentistry (thanks to marrying his orthodontist's daughter) to becoming a lifelong student of ceramics and education, Kent's journey is anything but typical. What starts as a pre-dental path quickly shifts once Kent discovers the lab side of dentistry—and more importantly, where his passion truly lives. From pouring models and grinding metal to studying under legends like John Archibald, Kent shares how mentorship, curiosity, and relentless work ethic shaped his career. Along the way, he opens up about the early struggles—working 100-hour weeks, barely making ends meet, and choosing quality over the “race to the bottom” that burned out many of his peers. Kent dives deep into the evolution of dental technology, from the early days of PFMs and Empress to today's digital workflows and liquid ceramics. But at the heart of it all is a consistent theme: education. Whether it's learning from the “giants” of the industry or now helping guide the next generation through his role at Ivoclar, Kent sees it as a responsibility to pass on what was given to him. He also shares insights into his current mission—bringing hands-on education back to the forefront, blending traditional techniques with modern materials, and helping technicians elevate their craft beyond just production. Rising costs, tighter deadlines, and greater demands are challenging labs everywhere. When efficiency matters, you need tools that deliver—every day. Roland DGShape milling solutions are reliable and easy to use. Just turn them on and let them run—no babysitting required. Fewer remakes and less wasted material mean your team can focus on getting cases out the door. With the Elevate Denture solution, step into digital dentures without disrupting your workflow.
