Podcasts about band geeks

Produced by Wayne Hall, Joseph Cottrell, Jeffrey Crecelius and Ken Fuller This week, Mark and I had a think about the Yes songs we like that include contrasts - one of my favourite aspects of progressive rock - and Yes music. We both chose 2 songs to talk about in depth but also went on a bit about other songs that also fit this category. It was another very interesting conversation - at least I thought so. What songs do we choose? What do we mean by contrast? Do our selections cover a wide range of eras of the band? Let us know if you agree with us! https://youtu.be/7OmC-R3vgCg?si=xKZGo5I888fZ-UGn https://youtu.be/bvm1XyK_a18?si=HXcHkAq7WQJl25_I https://youtu.be/qEUkRRLe6vQ?si=Ju8E0yRs8JaNzkvy https://youtu.be/hBAauFYod80?si=n530lrEBf7iUS0by Mark Lang's photos from the Pete Roth Trio and John Lodge concerts plus his coloured vinyl Jon ANderson and the Band Geeks album: I MADE IT TO ANTHEM 52!

Bing Chen is the Executive Chairman, CEO, and Co-founder of Gold House, a leading cultural ecosystem dedicated to empowering Asian Pacific creators and entrepreneurs to drive societal change. A visionary leader in media and diversity, Bing was formerly YouTube's Global Head of Creator Development and Management, where he played a pivotal role in shaping the global creator economy. He has been recognized on Forbes' 30 Under 30 list and honored as a Hollywood Reporter Next Gen Leader and ABC News History Maker. Bing also serves on numerous boards, including the World Economic Forum's Global Shapers. He is a Harvard-educated strategist known for building community-driven initiatives that amplify underrepresented voices. Through Gold House and beyond, Bing continues to push boundaries in media, venture capital, and cross-cultural innovation.In this episode, Bing brings wit, vulnerability, and visionary insight to the conversation. He discusses his upbringing as a Taiwanese-American in the South, his early confidence, and how experiences in Shanghai helped shape his understanding of racism and privilege. He gives a masterclass in the creator economy, offering tips for monetization, longevity, and community building. He also dives into Gold House's mission to make Asian-led creativity mainstream, explaining its work in film, venture, music, and health. Throughout, Bing emphasizes the importance of shared humanity over divisions and champions a collaborative, abundance-minded future.  Parents, Prom, and the Cabbage Patch: Childhood and Family Stories: Bing shares hilarious and heartfelt stories about his parents' immigration, cultural quirks, and growing up in Knoxville, Tennessee. This includes some very memorable (and very real) parental sex talk. (2:25) Magic Bikes and Southern Roots: Growing Up Asian in the South: Bing reflects on his unique childhood experience in a mostly white Southern town, noting how he didn't face racism until moving to California. He discusses confidence, energy, and how being different can actually attract others. (5:45)Band Geeks and Prom Regrets: High School and Identity Formation: In this personal segment, Bing opens up about high school, popularity, belonging to many social circles, and his bittersweet prom story. He touches on early lessons in connection and rejection. (8:00)Buffets, Boys' Clubs, and Chubby Cattle: Food as a Love Language: Ami and Bing bond over their love of buffets, with Bing recounting how he formed a boys' club just to avoid eating alone at Hometown Buffet. He drops a hidden gem recommendation in NYC and name-drops Chubby Cattle Group. (12:45)Building YouTube and the Creator Economy From Scratch: Bing gets into the serious stuff: his pivotal role at YouTube, how he helped coin “creator,” and what current creators need to know about sustaining success. This is a goldmine for anyone working in media or content creation. (14:00)Gold House = The Asian Disney?: Changing Culture at Scale: Bing breaks down what Gold House actually does—from investing in ventures to pushing Asian narratives in film, music, and business. He compares it to the rise of hip-hop and explains the long-term cultural strategy. (20:30)We're More Similar Than We Think”: Stereotypes and Species-Level Thinking: In a profound and slightly controversial segment, Bing argues that the most damaging stereotype isn't about race—but about our belief that we're all so different. He emphasizes unity over hyper-specificity. (30:00)Candy, Concerts, and Cracking From Burnout: Rapid Fire and Vulnerability: In a fun, fast-paced wrap-up, Bing talks about burnout, sour candy as therapy, why he doesn't complain, and his love for Tupac and Hans Zimmer. He ends on a strong note about ethics, ambition, and resilience. (37:30) Connect with Bing Chen:WebsiteInstagramLinkedInX Let's Connect:Instagram This podcast is produced by Ginni Media.

This week on Sinica, I chat with Jeffrey Ding, author of Technology and the Rise of Great Powers, a book that argues that a nation's ability to invent foundational technologies matters ultimately less in its overall national power than its ability to diffuse those "general purpose technologies," like electricity, digital technology, the internet, and — in the age of the Fourth Industrial Revolution — Artificial Intelligence. I ask Jeff whether he thinks that China, with its powerful tech companies and its new enthusiasm for open source, may at last be closing what his book identifies as a diffusion deficit.2:19 – Jeff's argument for the power of diffusion in technological leadership6:07 – China's diffusion deficit 12:09 – Institutional factors that affect technology diffusion, and how culture can also play a role 19:49 – China's successes in (non-GPT) diffusion 24:29 – China's open source push 29:55 – Discussing He Pengyu's piece on semiconductors 32:19 – How Jeff might tweak his chapter on China in a second edition of Technology and the Rise of Great Powers Paying It Forward: Matt Sheehan of the Carnegie Endowment for International PeaceRecommendations:Jeff: The TV series The Pitt (2025 - ); and James Islington's The Will of the Many Kaiser: The album Perpetual Change by Jon Anderson and The Band Geeks; and Steven Wilson's new album, The OverviewSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Esta semana, dedicamos una nueva sesión de Rebelión Sónica, al nuevo disco del legendario cantante inglés Jon Anderson, “True”. Grabado junto a su grupo The Band Geeks y lanzado por el sello Frontiers Records el 23 de agosto, el decimosexto disco solista del vocalista, compositor e instrumentista, es "una colección de canciones que se remonta a los sonidos clásicos de Yes de los años 70, así como a su éxito más recientes de álbumes como “90125””. La producción de la canción estuvo a cargo del cantante y Richie Castellano, miembro de Blue Öyster Cult y que también es director musical del grupo que acompaña hoy a Anderson, integrado además por Clark Ascolese, Robert Kipp, Andy Ascolese y Andy Graziano. "Hacer algo así es un sueño. También ha sido una oportunidad, como fan de Yes, de decir 'OK, nos han dado las llaves del reino. Tenemos a Jon Anderson cantando para nosotros. ¿Cómo queremos que sea?", apuntó Castellano. En la parte final del programa, viajamos al pasado en la carrera de Anderson, para escucharlo como parte de Yes, específicamente con material del disco “The Yes Album” de 1971. Semana a semana, Rebelión Sónica se transmite por radio Rockaxis los jueves a las 10 y 22 horas -para luego quedar en formato podcast en plataformas de streaming-, con la conducción de Héctor Aravena.

Band Geeks of the world, unite! We're taking a fizzy summer tour through some of our favorite movie musicals – and what better way to observe the Fourth of July weekend in the USA than with one of the most patriotic and Americana-obsessed musicals of all time, the 1962 film version of Meredith Willson's 1957 Broadway musical The Music Man!   We talk about: "Rock Island" – One of the most impressive opening numbers in any musical, a laser-quick intro to the economics and social mores of early 20th-century America. "Iowa Stubborn" – The people of River City basically tell us what assholes they are. Is this song about whiteness, small town life, or the human condition? "Trouble" – Harold Hill's infamous patter song. It's like a hellfire-and-brimstone sermon, in the tradition of Jonathan Edwards and the great preachers of the Great Awakening. "Sincere" – The role that barbershop music plays in The Music Man... and in American nostalgia for a "simpler time." "The Wells Fargo Wagon" – What's the deal with Winthrop? You'll hear: Robert Preston, Barbara Cook and the cast of the 1957 Broadway cast – because we love Shirley Jones, but there's only one Marian the Librarian.   Continue the conversation with us on Instagram @gospelofmt!

Steven talks about some news again! The Jon Anderson & The Band Geeks single "Shine On" is out now! But before going into that, Steven touch on other news topics. There's a surprising addition to the Cruise to the Edge lineup, for example, and Bill Bruford will be involved in a conversation in conjunction with the upcoming Progject tour. Steven will even review the Jazz Sabbath Show he attended last night at the Catalina Jazz Club, which featured Adam Wakeman, Tim Landers, and Tal Bergman playing jazz versions of Black Sabbath songs.
