At the start of lockdown, Ben Pollard and Dan Fisher set out to watch 100 films starring the much-misunderstood (and equally as misguided) actor Nicolas Cage, in as many days. They have been documenting their hilarious and sometimes harrowing experiences through their new podcast, Uncaged, which Danny recently appeared on! Join Danny, Ben and Dan (and Dan's dog Tofu, who contributes nothing other than looking cute for the cover art) as they talk about the highs and lows of Cage's oeuvre, from his 'Golden Run' and Oscar-winning glory to, well... the bees. Along the way, there's chat on Danny's amateur baking skills, weird Reddit cults, COVID-related merch drops and a man's discovery of fruit in his early 30s... -- Listen to Uncaged now on your podcast streaming platform of choice: bit.ly/uncagedpodcast Not mentioned enough on the pod: Ben is also an extremely talented videographer and photographer, go and check out his stuff at vimeo.com/bennypvideo // Dan has played in loads of great bands, most recently Guillotine: wellbeokhere.limitedrun.com -- SUBSCRIBE TO BITCHIN' BREW – Available on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts: smarturl.it/bitchinbrew Join the BITCHIN' CREW, the official Facebook community for friends, fans and listeners of Bitchin' Brew: facebook.com/groups/2374640246196440 Facebook: facebook.com/bxtchxnbrew Twitter: twitter.com/BitchinBrewPod Instagram: instagram.com/bitchinbrewpod) Email: b.brewcast@gmail.com Theme tune: 'Woes' by Scarecrow Boat (Courtesy of Ol' Boat Records: olboatrecords.limitedrun.com)

Ozark Highlands Radio is a weekly radio program that features live music and interviews recorded at Ozark Folk Center State Park’s beautiful 1,000-seat auditorium in Mountain View, Arkansas. In addition to the music, our “Feature Host” segments take listeners through the Ozark hills with historians, authors, and personalities who explore the people, stories, and history of the Ozark region. This week, unique Grammy nominated Louisiana alternative Zydeco band “The Lost Bayou Ramblers” perform live at the Ozark Folk Center State Park in Mountain View, Arkansas. Also, interviews with the Lost Bayou Ramblers. The Lost Bayou Ramblers were formed in 1999 by brothers Andre and Louis Michot, performing the roots Cajun music they learned as members of Les Frères Michot, the family band their father and uncles formed in the 80's. The brothers quickly began playing clubs and festivals around Louisiana, and taking the traditional music they were raised with to new levels of rhythmic energy and spontaneity. Over the years, the group has continually integrated new sonic elements to its live performances, always experimenting and growing the show to what it's become today, an eclectic mix of modern sounds and rhythms with ancient Cajun melodies and lyrics. In this week’s “From the Vault” segment, musician, educator, and country music legacy Mark Jones offers an archival recording of Ozark original Melvin Wrinkle singing the rare traditional song “Home Sweet Home,” from the Ozark Folk Center State Park archives. From his series entitled “Fine Fiddlers of the Ozarks,” old time and Ozark fiddle aesthete Roy Pilgrim profiles the legendary Ozark fiddler Ben Pollard. This installment features archival recordings of the classic fiddle tunes “Sand March, Hop Light Ladies, Dream Waltz, Silver Star Hornpipe, and Sail Away Red Dress.”

Thos talks to Ben Pollard and Joseph Beesley about their roles as co-director and musical director of a recent highly successful and well thought through production of Stephen Sondheim’s complex and intricate, Merrily We Roll Along, to see what symmetry, connections and clues they could unscramble from within this wonderful Faberge Egg of a musical.  And does this show break Sondheim’s own adage “content dictates form”?  You decide! 

This piece felt like a quiet, autumn day in the Northeast (where I grew up). It is simple. Straight forward. Gentle. I used only compression, EQ, stereo imaging and reverb. The photo by Ben Pollard seemed perfect for the music.-William BradburyPlease feel free to add a comment on the Feedback/Contact page.

I played this variation of Quiet Day immediately after I recorded the original. The opening is similar to the first version... then I played at a faster tempo and improvised new material as well as developed the old melodies. Kind of fun! Again with this piece I used limited effects (same settings as Quiet Day). I also took Ben Pollard's picture and manipulated it digitally (this is allowed under the picture's Creative Commons license). I hope this is okay, Ben!-William BradburyPlease feel free to add a comment on the Feedback/Contact page.
