Welcome to a new episode of RISE with Hanna Olivas. Today, our special guest is: Holly Isabella Rankin, who performs as Jack River, is an Australian singer-songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, and producer. Her previous album, Sugar Mountain launched her onto playlists and festival bills with enviable velocity. Beat Magazine called it “one of the greatest Australian albums of the past decade” with the single ‘Fool's Gold' reaching the heights of ARIA Platinum status. Endless Summer, the sophomore album is out now, ten perfect pop songs that shimmer like melting highways and drip like strawberry ice-cream. This record is an oasis, something to retreat to amid the apocalyptic horrors of the war and climate disaster in the modern world. That's the paradox of Endless Summer; The oasis is a mirage, only as real as you desire. https://fenixtv.app/ https://www.sherisesstudios.com/ Join us in Miami this September for our Women's Empowerment Summit!

GenX ladies, get ahold of yourselves - this week, Heather Zeitzewolfe and I are completing reminiscing from our early adolescent years of the 1970's as we fawn over our favorite teen idols who you might have seen on the cover of a Tiger Beat magazine.  Or Teen Beat, or "16," or maybe even the TV guide itself!  And with no internet in the 1970's (or podcasts, or E!TV for that matter), these mags were where a teen girl might go for all the latest celebrity boy gossip.   I actually had a subscription to Tiger Beat for a little while (Thanks, Grandma Agnes); and while some of our choices might not have made it to the cover of Tiger Beat, they were still, in our opinion, the cutest boys of the 1970's - with disco, classic rock, AM radio, and all of the other things. There is also some rather fun editorial banter from my hubby, Charles, who is also a GenX child of the 70s...totally could not get him to leave the room during the recording.   Anyway - don't forget that my co-hosts and I really want to hear from you!  GenX ladies - who was your favorite Tiger Beat cover boy?  And what do you think of our lists?  Shoot us an email at hello@thetopfivepodcast.com and let us know what you think!!

ÁT42  a place for the types of real chats that happen over a cuppa not all structured like a proper interview, just a place to let what is in the space between two creatives come up. The intimacy of a cuppa.... you know that special moment with a friend over tea where the conversation can go anywhere? I couldn't be MORE honoured that my sister Emily Wurramara is coming to chat. Although Emily and I were born on opposite sides of the world, in different decades, and with completely different cultural landscapes, Emily is my person. You know one you call who knows all the parts of you. She understands my music self, my motherhood self, my native language singing self, my cultural self, my survivor self, my warrior self, my vulnerable self, my fun self, my serious self, my activist self, my fuck you self, and DO WE LAUGH at ourselves, yes we do.  She gets all these bits of me cause she IS of the same. We are same same but different and that is the sisterhood we rock. We may not have been born of the same parents, but the universe conspired to ignite our cells the same way.  This podcast is here because I want to bring YOU closer to the conversations that creatives like Emily and I have with each other. The things that don't always make it into our Instagram posts and stage shows. We became sisters after finding each other in a toilet in Brisbane ahead of a show together and supported each other since that moment. She is honest, raw and so talented that it makes me weak and she is one of those quiet leaders who doesn't even know the impact she has on all those that are lucky to be in commune with her. Ye are gonna love her. And if you don't..... ousss ousss!  Can't wait to invite ye into listen to all that brews between us!“Emily Wurramara is one of music's most inspiring Indigenous role models, and it's only up from here” - Beat Magazine"Originating from Groote Eylandt in the Northern Territory, the AIR award-winning and ARIA-nominated artist released an 11-track album Milyakburra, educating and informing in both English and Anindilyakwa languages. Emily is a six time Queensland Music Award winner, she was selected for the AMP Tomorrow Maker Award and won AIR Award's Best Blues and Roots Album of the Year"WHAT A BOSS!!!!! WEBSITE for more info on Emily: https://www.emilywurramara.com.au/PATREON for Emily: https://www.patreon.com/theemilywurramaraSupport the show

Guess who just made to #1 on Transglobal World Music Chart (TWMC)? Drum roll! "Small Island Big Song" with the album: Our Island. In this episode, Carla Leininger, of Global Ginga on KZSU 90.1 FM Stanford, spoke to Taiwanese producer BaoBao Chen and Australian music producer and filmmaker Tim Cole. Small Island Big Song is a collaboration of islander artists for environmental and cultural justice. According to Cole, the performance will address climate issues as artists and musicians.There will be sad moments as the audience learns about the imbalances in the ecosystem, but the show will also lift, inform, comfort and get you moving! This episode is also filled with global music grooviness for you from their latest album: Our Island Featuring footage made during a three-year film trip across 16 island nations and guided by the artists on their homelands, "Small Island Big Song" is a stunning live collaboration reuniting the distant, yet interconnected musical traditions of the Pacific and Indian Oceans. The resulting work is a contemporary and relevant musical statement of a region on the frontline of cultural and environmental challenges. "The most important music documentary you'll see this year," Beat Magazine wrote of the film. Now, combining music, spoken word, dance and film, eight musicians and vocalists from the nations of Taiwan, Australia, Madagascar, Tahiti, Mauritius, Marshall Islands, and Papua New Guinea will perform live at Stanford's Bing Concert Hall. A multicultural treat for the whole family! “One coherent jaw dropping piece” as described by Billboard Magazine. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/global-ginga/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/global-ginga/support

Episode 1 starts at the beginning, AJ talks to Gary Shea, the one time owner and publisher of The Beat Magazine. A magazine from the 1980s and 1990s that documented the Boston / New England music, arts & entertainment scene, where AJ was the head writer.

Mick Young (aka Young Werther) makes music that wraps you in its arms and slowly seeps into your skin. From the gently finger-picked guitar through his more rollicking moments, to the poetic shivers of his beautiful voice, this is glorious modern folk music for the soul, with a distinctive Australian bent. Mick began his career with Melbourne indie folk/rock band The Restless in 2000 writing all the songs on their critically acclaimed 2004 self-titled album. The album received nationwide radio coverage on Triple J (Australia's national network) and 3 singles from the album were named “King Pick” by Australia's top radio DJ, Richard Kingsmill. After 3 EPs and one album, The Restless went their separate ways in 2006 and Mick became a solo artist under the name Young Werther. In 2008, he released the beautifully haunting, autumnal Treasure mini-album which was named in Beat Magazine's “Singles of the Year”. This success led to shows with some of Australia's biggest names including Paul Dempsey (Something for Kate), Kate Miller Heidke, Clare Bowditch, Katie Noonan and James Reyne. After extensive touring Young released Knights of the Department Store (Popboomerang Records) in 2010 and was named Triple J “Feature Artist”. Mick has recently moved to Europe and now England to grow his fan base there and is working on a new album.

Her book Queenie came out recently in the UK and US, about a 25-year-old Jamaican British woman living in London called Queenie Jenkins, straddling two cultures and slotting neatly into neither. Oprah has called it 'brazenly hilarious" and it's been called The Black Bridget Jones. She writes regularly to i-D, Refinery29, BEAT Magazine, and more, and her pieces, especially those about blackness, sex, and identity have been shared and read globally. Candice created and launched the Guardian and 4th Estate BAME Short Story Prize, before moving to Vintage Books.

Julia Zemiro has been amongst the top entertainers in Australia for over a decade. After an introduction via stage theatre, TV sketches, radio work and all sorts of performing, she is more likely best known as the host of music trivia TV show RocKwiz, or SBS' coverage of the Eurovision Song Contest. More recently she has shared the story of many other famous Australians and their childhoods, via the ABC series Julia Zemiro's Home Delivery. So it's absolutely awesome for me to actually be asking her the questions. We pack so much in to this amazing chat. Dancing alone, record stores which no longer exist, Scandinavian tax. Does Julia still want this career in 5 years' time? Did her parents encourage her to study acting? How did she score the gig as RocKwiz host? Who's looking good for 2016 Eurovision? And always the first question in the Kids Love Balloons podcast... What makes her happy?

I love artistic expression of all kinds.” -- Justin Blackburn  http://www.justinblackburnlovesyou.com/

We recall the 75th anniversary of Flash Gordon, the Universal Studios science fiction serial that was a standard of the 1930s. These were later seen on early TV in the early 1950s. Ian Rose gives us the details of these serials, the plots, the stars, and all the things that make these old serials so well-remembered. Mike tells us all about Tiger Beat Fan Magazine, the 1960s teen and pre-teen magazine that told youngsters all about the young stars, singers, and artists of the day. Just like similar magazines for adults, these were designed for young people and were sold at the checkout lines at the supermarkets. Mike has a collection of these magazines and he tells us what they are worth and what to look for when you find some in your travels. Ian has the latest obituaries including that of Elizabeth Taylor. Our Retro-Commercial is for good old McDonald's Restaurants, featuring a neat jingle from the 1970s. All this and much more on this edition of Galaxy Moonbeam Night Site!

Well, it's official, Shojo Beat is dead as far as the anthology magazine side of it goes. The manga imprint is going to carry on though. It has been reported that the July 2009 issue will be its last. I was kinda taken aback. I thought the magazine was doing well. I always saw it right next to Shonen Jump and saw them as the perfect couple. I was first introduced to the mag when Animerica was cancelled halfway through my subscription and they offered to replace it with Shojo Beat. I said "what the hell" and received the first six issues. I couldn't really get into any of the titles. I wasn't very openminded about shojo series back then, and also, I don't take to anthologies very well. They make me think of literature textbooks that I had to read in college. But I really like Yen+. Speaking of, I wonder how that magazine is doing for Yen? It must be doing allright or they wouldn't have released the first volumes of some of the manga series that are serialized in it. I'm way behind on it. I've bought every issue as it came out all the way to the present (but I've only read the first two issues!) Magazines seem to be a dying breed. First, Animerica, Newtype, PIQ, Electronic Gaming Monthly, and now Shojo Beat. It's been about half a year or so since I saw an issue of Protoculture Addicts at my local book or comic store. What about Otaku USA? I remember a couple of months ago, they were going to go monthly, but scrapped those plans without a word. Anime Insider? Even though it sucked, a sucky anime/manga magazine is better than NO magazine at all.
