Paul Hawken has spent more than fifty years asking the same question in different registers: what does it look like when human commerce rejoins the community of life rather than consuming it? He was a 19-year-old press coordinator for Martin Luther King Jr.'s march from Selma to Montgomery in 1965. He cured his own lifelong asthma through food at 19, and went on to found Erewhon, one of the first natural food companies in America. He co-founded Smith & Hawken, wrote nine books translated into 30 languages across 50 countries, and co-founded Project Drawdown, which modeled the 100 most substantive solutions to reverse global warming. His most recent book, Carbon: The Book of Life, reframes carbon not as the villain of the climate story, but as the invisible thread connecting every living thing on Earth. In this rich and wide-ranging episode, Paul unpacks the ideas behind Carbon, exploring: The first breath: how a ten-day rice and tea fast at 19 cured an asthma that three doctors and a lifetime of medication never could, and what that taught him about the difference between fixing a symptom and restoring a relationship Why he now says Project Drawdown failed by his own measure, what's wrong with "Net Zero" as a target, and the difference between stabilizing the overflow and draining the tub Carbon as "the currency of abundance, the central bank of evolutionary growth, and the most socially adept entrepreneur in the pantheon of life," and what it means that this is not the language of a pollutant The naming problem: how the Enlightenment turned forests into cellulose, soil into dirt, and animals into objects, and why our climate response keeps failing because it uses the same framework that created the crisis What it means that humans are 0.01% of living biomass, and what the other 99.99% knows about running stable carbon cycles for hundreds of millions of years without summits, frameworks, or pledges The economics of a whale, valued at over two million dollars alive versus forty thousand dead, and whether pricing nature protects it or just folds it into the logic that nearly destroyed it The hidden world beneath our feet: mycorrhizal networks connecting 90% of land plants, 2,500 gigatons of carbon stored in soil, and why losing just 8% of it would dwarf current fossil fuel emissions Why cooperation, not competition, is the actual operating principle of the living world, and what that says about the economic system we've built on top of it Awe versus optimism: why Paul says he isn't optimistic, but is in awe of the people making a true difference, and what that distinction means in practice This is a deeply personal and quietly radical conversation about commerce, the body, and what it might mean to stop fighting carbon and start rejoining the community of life that has been regulating it all along.

Our next guest is an absolute titan of modern guitar. She is a Berklee College of Music graduate who went from tearing up the solo underground to sharing stages with icons like Steve Vai and Guthrie Govan. Whether she is shredding animated metal riffs on tour with Dethklok, holding down the stage with Danny Elfman, or shooting 10-foot flames out of her guitar in Las Vegas for Cirque du Soleil's Michael Jackson ONE, her precision and melodic voice on the instrument are unmatched. She is fresh off the release of her incredible, synesthesia-inspired fourth studio album, Eventide, and she finally has her brand-new, ultra-purple signature Ibanez guitar, 'The Answer,' in her hands. Today on Verbal Shenanigans... the phenomenal NILI BROSH!"   We also talk about a tree hitting Scott's house, tell some tales of gross comics and play a game called "Axe or Ailment."  Have a listen!    

AFH: Season 2, Episode 15Featuring Holly HowardAbout the Guest:Holly Howard is the founder and CEO of Pyramid.Work, an AI-powered strategic growth engine for the entrepreneurial economy.Pyramid is the culmination of Holly's lifelong pursuit: integrating artist, scientist, healer, business builder, and teacher—and using that integration to create technology that helps people realize their own visions.Holly's journey began in 1996 at the Joffrey Ballet Training Program. At 18, she danced with the Ruth Page Ballet's Nutcracker and joined the American Guild of Musical Artists.In 1999, she entered Berklee College of Music to study Music Therapy and Bassoon, where she discovered neuroscience and neuroplasticity—that creativity can literally rewire the brain. She created an internship at the Institute for Music and Neurologic Function under Dr. Concetta Tomaino, longtime collaborator of Oliver Sacks. That experience taught her how to invent what doesn't exist.After three years as a Board-Certified Music Therapist in New York, Holly took a detour into Brooklyn's restaurant scene—working at Marlow & Sons, where she was photographed by Roe Ethridge (now in ICA Boston and MOCA). She also recorded on bassoon with The Pierces. Later, she managed egg restaurant that she made profitable enough to offer PTO and health insurance to every employee in 2009. That work led to a congressional briefing for Congresswoman Rosa DeLauro and influenced the Healthy Families Act.During those years, Holly earned her premedical certificate at Columbia University while conducting orthopedic research at Lenox Hill Hospital. After publishing in the Journal of Arthroplasty, she chose not to pursue medicine and pivoted back to creativity.In 2012, Holly founded Ask Holly How, her consulting practice. By 2014, her programs were sponsored by JPMorgan Chase and economic development corporations. She has since worked with over 1,000 small businesses, become a professor at Pratt Institute, joined the faculty at RISD, and launched the podcast Cultures Within Capitalism. Her work has been cited in the New York Times, The Cut, Fast Company, and Bustle.In 2023, Holly completed her Master's Certificate in Religions of the World at Harvard, integrating the spiritual and philosophical roots of everything she builds.Through Pyramid, Holly is uniting all of these disciplines—art, science, service, and spirit—to help entrepreneurs build from their own foundations, not someone else's framework.Guest Info:https://www.pyramid.work/aboutFollow Me:Instagram: @afinehuman Shop Dame: dame.com This podcast was produced by aurielle sayeh, filmed by @thetellychannel, and powered by @dameproducts.

“I really care a lot about what the student wants to get out of our time together: finding a nice, healthy, balanced phonation that they identify with, that they feel is their true sound, not something I'm forcing them to sound like. More than anything I want my students to feel confident and empowered in making their own voice sound out loud. I just want people to feel joyful and confident participating in the creation of art with their voice.”Mandy Matthews is an active Brooklyn based cross-genre singer and teacher. She performs regularly in musical theater cabaret nights, pop and jazz a cappella small groups, and sings with multiple choirs including The Marble Choir (NYC), The Young New Yorker's Chorus, and The Sedona Academy of Chamber Singers.

Episode #426 of BGMania: A Video Game Music Podcast. Today on the show, Bryan and Bedroth shine a spotlight on the career of Nobuko Toda, a composer whose work has quietly shaped some of gaming's biggest franchises while rarely receiving the recognition afforded to many of her contemporaries. After studying at Berklee College of Music and joining Konami in the early 2000s, Toda became an integral part of the company's music team, contributing to everything from Metal Gear and Pro Evolution Soccer to lesser-known projects that showcased her incredible versatility. Throughout the episode, we explore the many sides of Toda's career, from her early Konami years through her later work. Along the way, we celebrate a composer whose music can be intimate, unsettling, heroic, reflective, and exhilarating, often within the span of a single soundtrack. From iconic franchises to hidden gems, this Composer Appreciation episode is dedicated to an artist whose contributions to video game music deserve far more attention than they've traditionally received.

Special thanks to our Executive Producers: Jexak, Xancu, Jeff & Mike.

Episode 098 brings a double dose of low end theory, welcoming a pioneering pair of underground bass legends percolating on opposite coasts, both cats deep in the streets and boasting decades in the game, with the catalogues and collaborators to prove it. 0:00 - ep.098 preview 3:30 - High Sierra Music Festival 2026  6:30 - The Upful Update 12:00 - intro: Club d'Elf's MIKE RIVARD [aka Micro] 15:00 - INTERVIEW w/ MICRO [83m] 1:38:00 - introducing LONNIE MARSHALL 1:42:00 - INTERVIEW w/ LONNIE [43m] 2:24:30 - afterglow x ViBE Junkie Jamz   First up Mike Rivard [aka Micro] - bass/sintir/founder/visionary of Boston's jazz-trance-dub-hop institution known as Club d'Elf. Twas an honor and privilege to finally tap in with Micro after a quarter century of fandom and awe. We chop it up at length about his group's unicorn career, magnificent co-conspirators like the late Mark Sandman, John Medeski, Brahim Fribgane (RIP), Joe and Mat Maneri, Dave Tronzo, and (Friends Of The Pod) Mister Rourke, Adam Deitch, Ryan Zoidis, Jonny G, among several others. We learn about Moroccan sintir; the healing powers of Gnawa trance music; plant medicines and Terrence McKenna; Micro's personal trials and tribulations along the way; his perspective on the integral role of independent music venues; interpolating NOLA Second Line rhythms in tandem with Morrocan traditions; and revisiting his embryonic journeys with the Grateful Dead as a wide-eared, curious youngster. In April 2026, Club d'Elf unveiled their latest full-length LP Loon & Thrush, a positively magnificent affair in a deep, eclectic d'Elf canon brimming with brilliant configurations and bold adventuring. We chase that inspired dialog with another informative chat featuring LA-based bassist/badass Lonnie Marshall from pioneering underground funk/hip-hop squadron Weapon of Choice. Lonnie was kind enough to hop on the line and discuss his life of Nutmeg Music, his bombastic and eclectic history and colorful persona, lineage from the P-Funk family tree and his teenage era rolling with Bootsy Collins' Boot Camp, storytelling and dope collabs, daKAH hip-hop orchestra, recording/gigging with Joe Strummer's debut solo LP/group, reflections on his brother Arik Marshall's brief, chaotic moment with the Red Hot Chili Peppers and long-term run backing Macy Gray. Plus a whole lot more in this educational inspirational get down with the most mega-nutt mug to ever bless these podwaves! Bassist/sintir sorcerer Mike Rivard [aka MicroVard] defies any sort of rigid genre-specifics or generic categorization. The cat finds himself at home in a bewildering array of musical/cultural settings: from the good ol' Grateful Dead to the melancholic-rock of his late friend Mark Sandman and Morphine, to the mountains of Morocco with local Berber musicians, plus side trips into the Broadway pits, and tantric trance sessions with John Medeski and Joe Maneri. A "military brat" coming of adolescence in the wide expanses of Minnesota, he took in the local sounds of Prince, Husker Du, and the free-jazz coming out of the University of Minnesota milieu. Eventually a young Rivard would find himself while hitchiking on Dead tour, further opening up  nascent doors of perception. Later, Micro set about embarking on Boston's prestigious Berklee College of Music in 1981. After graduating, he studied with jazz legend Dave Holland. Inspired by North African gnawa music, he picked up a Moroccan sintir (three-stringed bass lute) and with guidance from Hassan Hakmoun and Maalem Mahmoud Gania, he has become one of a handful of Western musicians proficient on the instrument. He puts all of the shared sacred teachings and wisdom to good use in Club d'Elf, the jazz-world-dub-electronica squad he formed in 1998. Club d'Elf can be heard across more than 15 albums over the past 25 years; an eclectic, pioneering collective with a vast array of co-conspirators from around the world. Club d'Elf website  Instagram new album Loon & Thrush After years grinding it out on the LA scene with his brother Arik in Marshall Law, Lonnie Marshall founded Weapon of Choice in 1992, holding down bass and lead vocals. After a video directed by Geoff Moore for their song "Uppity, Yuppity Doolittle" came to the attention of Pearl Jam's Stone Gossard, the band was signed to Gossard‘s record label Loosegroove. They released three albums with Loosegroove before the company folded in 2000: "Nut-meg says Bozo the Town" (1994), Highperspice (1996), and Nutmeg Phantasy (1998). In 2001, the band dropped Illoominutty on Fishbone's Nuttsactor 5 record label, and in 2003, they released Color Me Funky. Since 1997, Lonnie has performed alongside members of P Funk and Fishbone, among others, as part of Trulio Disgracias - a constantly mutating funk-rock-jazz collective headed by by Norwood Fisher. Lonnie was an emcee, composer, and performer for daKAH, a 65 piece hip-hop orchestra which coalesced periodically in the Los Angeles area for many years. Before that, Marshall wrote, recorded and toured with the legendary Joe Strummer of The Clash, behind Strummer's dynamic 1989 solo debut Earthquake Weather. Lonnie has contributed/collaborated with Macy Gray, Snoop Dogg, Tone Loc, Ice Cube, George Clinton, Funkadelic, Perry Farrell, Les Claypool, Stone Gossard and his brother Arik Marshall.

Vivienne Aerts is a NYC-based Dutch Singer, Educator, and Psychologist, for many years on the faculty of the Berklee College of Music. I've been following her inspiring creative practice for a couple of years and I'm excited to tell you that for this episode you'll be hearing clips from her beautiful upcoming album Current, produced on a tiny 1951 Dutch sailboat, blending jazz, electronics, and vocal loops with water-inspired soundscapes. Her husband, the renowned pastry chef Ted Steinebach also made a documentary film about the journey, which features several other wonderful musicians who hopped on the boat to record.I found it uplifting to get to know Vivienne's interdisciplinary approach, rooted in mindfulness and how she got started as a student creating interesting opportunities for artists. You'll also be hearing clips from a couple of her previous projects including the award-winning Typuhthâng featuring 100 female musicians which supports Congolese female cacao farmers through a partnership with Original Beans.In this age of AI, I'm inspired by Vivienne's trust and hopefulness in the need for us to engage all of our senses and the power of mobilizing micro-communities to support meaningful creative work.You can also watch this video on my YouTube; I've also linked the transcript, Vivienne's website, other suggested episodes, podcast newsletter sign-up, podcast merch, and how you can buy me a coffee to support this independent podcast!

Today, we're putting The Tonearm's needle on Toronto drummer and composer Nick Fraser.Nick Fraser is one of the most distinctive voices in Canadian improvised music. He has played with Anthony Braxton, Roscoe Mitchell, and William Parker, and has led projects that range from raw free jazz to something much harder to name.His latest record, Areas, just dropped on Elastic Recordings. It's a trio date with saxophonist Tony Malaby and pianist Kris Davis. Electroacoustic interludes by composer John Kameel Farah thread through the album, built from processed duo recordings of Fraser and Malaby. The album has weight and atmosphere in equal measure, and it's unlike anything I've heard this year.We talked about the making of Areas, what a long-term group actually sounds like from the inside, and where his music is headed.(The musical excerpts heard in the interview are from Nick Fraser's Areas)—Dig DeeperArtist and AlbumVisit Nick Fraser at nickfraserthedrummer.com and follow him on Instagram, Facebook, and YouTubePurchase or stream Areas at BandcampElastic Recordings — the Toronto imprint releasing AreasCollaborators on AreasKris Davis — pianist and composer; also visit her label Pyroclastic RecordsTony Malaby at Berklee College of Music — saxophonist and facultyJohn Kameel Farah — Palestinian-Canadian composer and pianist; hear the Farahser duo album at BandcampBen Monder — guitarist, who subbed for Davis at the Toronto album release concertsTribute and Influence: Brodie WestBrodie West — Toronto saxophonist and composer; "There Are Other Ways" is a tribute to his workWays — Brodie West's duo project with drummer Evan Cartwright, which the tribute track honorsLong-term CollaborationsLina Allemano — Toronto/Berlin trumpeter and composer; Fraser has played in the Lina Allemano Four for twenty yearsDrumheller — Fraser's decade-long cooperative group with Brodie West, Rob Clutton, Eric Chenaux, and Doug Tielli (2003–2013)Hamid Drake — Chicago drummer whom Fraser has been encouraging Brodie West to record withThe Imaginary Brass Band — a trio featuring Fraser alongside Doug Tielli and Heather Saumer; recorded the song “Sketch 57”Previous Trio RecordingsZoning (2019, Astral Spirits) — BandcampToo Many Continents (2015, Clean Feed) — Clean Feed RecordsMusical ReferenceOlivier Messiaen, Quartet for the End of Time — Fraser drew on Messiaen's harmonics when composing the title track "Area"Toronto Scene and OrganizationsAssociation of Improvising Musicians of Toronto (AIMToronto) — the nonprofit Fraser co-founded with Rob Clutton, Scott Thomson, Ken Aldcroft, and Joe Sorbara (now largely inactive; linked here is an academic roundtable with founding members)FACTOR — the Foundation Assisting Canadian Talent on Recordings; co-funded by the Canadian federal government and private radio broadcastersNick Fraser at the University of Toronto Faculty of Music — where Fraser teaches—Dig into this episode's complete show notes at podcast.thetonearm.com—• Did you enjoy this episode?

Boycotts, soft power, and sequined bodysuits - the definitive guide to Eurovision 2026 with two of Luxembourg's sharpest voices If you think Eurovision is nothing more than glitter, key changes, and strategic voting between neighbours, think again. Seventy years in, Europe's biggest song contest continues to be fun alongside the loaded messaging and controversy. Five countries are boycotting. The bookies are watching Finland. And Luxembourg's own Eva Marija is about to take a violin to the stage in Vienna and remind the world exactly why this small country has returned. This week, on The Lisa Burke Show, we sat down with two guests who between them know Eurovision inside out: Dr. Dean Vuletic, the world's leading academic authority on the history of the Eurovision Song Contest and author of the definitive book on its political and cultural significance; and Sarah Tapp, RTL Today presenter, graduate student in music business at Berklee College of Music, and the voice behind RTL's Eurovision commentary for the last two years. In this conversation we talk about contest and about what it tells us about the world we're living in right now.

It also explores how music impacts the brain, supports emotional regulation, and helps individuals build essential life skills.Through powerful personal stories and insights, this episode challenges the idea that music is only for those who are “good” at it.Instead, it presents music as a universal language for connection, healing, and self expression.If you have ever felt something deeply through music, this episode will help you understand why.Guest: Purvaa Sampath (https://www.linkedin.com/in/purvaasampath/)Host: Drithi Das Sound: Mahesh R.Producer: Archita Puranik

A Berklee College of Music graduate and GDC speaker, Dillan has spent years crafting audio that doesn't just support a story… it becomes part of it. In this episode, we dive into Dillan's journey into composition, the soundtracks that shaped him growing up, and how music helps build the atmosphere, identity, and emotion of a game. We also talk about his work on SHADE Protocol, exploring how the soundtrack helps bring Zura's world to life and how game music changes when it has to respond to the player. And this episode is just the beginning. All month long on The Razzle Dazzle Show, we're celebrating one year since the world announcement of SHADE Protocol by featuring members of the development team and diving into the creative process behind the game.

Sean Thomas is a new talent with an old soul. Sean is a Canadian singer/songwriter/producer/instrumentalist with the gift of perfect pitch. After graduating from the Berklee College of Music, he started working with massive talents Debbie Gibson, NKOTB, and New Edition. We are going to talk about his solo work, including his new track "Better", Beyblade, Carnegie Hall, what perfect pitch means, New Edition tour prep, and writing/production for Joey McIntyre and the New Kids On The Block.

Today's guest lives at the intersection of craft, sound, and story. If you've ever wondered what happens when making the instrument becomes part of the art — and when music leads before meaning — this conversation will invite you to slow down, listen deeply, and sit inside the mystery.Martin Maudal is a renowned luthier, songwriter, and producer, and a graduate of Berklee College of Music. Raised in Claremont, California at the foot of Mount Baldy, and shaped by years in the New York music scene, Martin blends West Coast soul with East Coast grit.He is the founder of Maudal Musical Machines, where he hand-builds electric resonator guitars—functional sculptures and vessels of sound that he also performs and records with. What began as a way to showcase these instruments evolved into Baldy Crawlers, a deeply expressive musical collective blending Folk, Americana, Jazz, and social commentary.Martin on YouTube@maudalmusicalmachines on InstagramMartin's Facebook pageFollowing critical acclaim for “Bring Me a Flower,” Baldy Crawlers return with the haunting new single Boy, released January 9, 2026—an intuitive, open-ended work that invites listeners not to solve the song, but to sit inside it.1) When Craft Becomes the MuseMartin, Baldy Crawlers began as a way to showcase your handmade guitars—and then became something much bigger. At what point did you realize this wasn't just a marketing project, but a true artistic calling of its own?2) Music Before MeaningYour new single “Boy” started not with a concept, but with a feeling. You've said, “This one was music before it was words.” What happens creatively when you let sound lead before meaning—and how do you know when not to force interpretation?3) Instruments as StorytellersYou build the very instruments you record and perform with. How does handcrafting a guitar—its materials, weight, resonance—shape the stories that come out of it? In what ways does the instrument itself become a collaborator?4) Leaving Space for Mystery“Boy” lives in a dreamlike space where silence speaks as loudly as sound. In a world that pushes clarity, content, and explanation, how do you protect ambiguity—and why do you think listeners crave that space now?5) Empathy, Myth, and the Human PulseFrom “Bring Me a Flower” to “Boy,” Baldy Crawlers' music feels rooted in empathy and shared humanity. What themes keep returning in your work—and what do you hope listeners discover about themselves when they sit with these songs?“Before we wrap up, Martin, where can listeners explore Baldy Crawlers' music, your instruments at Maudal Musical Machines, and keep up with upcoming releases?”For creatives listening who feel pressure to explain, optimize, or over-define their work—what would you say about trusting intuition and letting the art reveal itself in its own time?Music tracks are copyrighted, provided by the artist, and used with permission."Bedlam""Boy""Bring Me A Flower""Orbelin"

Tommy Ng, leader of the indie rock band Jesus the Dinosaur, joins us to promote the band's new single "Sweet Nothing" and share the interesting journey that brought them from Atlanta to the Berklee College of Music in Boston.“For me personally, I'm describing what it feels like to be in a social setting while being maxed out on my social meter. I have a big people-pleasing problem (working on it), so I'll keep pushing through social interactions even when I have nothing left to give, so what comes out of my mouth at that point is usually just that: filler, forced smiles, canned responses, bullshit. Just enough to pass as pleasing and agreeable to everyone." — Tommy NgMusic Clips from The Charms, The Dogmatics, The Long Wait, and Jesus The Dinosaur Produced and Hosted by Steev Riccardo Please support us at patreon.com/twistedrico

The Sugar Road Band is the brainchild of Berklee College of Music professor Leo Blanco.

David Abram is an ecologist, philosopher, and sleight-of-hand magician whose work sits at the intersection of phenomenology, linguistics, and our embodied relationship with the more-than-human world. Author of The Spell of the Sensuous and Becoming Animal, David is one of the most original and necessary voices asking what we lose when language severs us from the living land and what it takes to find our way back. In this rich and unhurried conversation, David and Aaron explore: Why tracking, reading wind, footprint, and silence, is humanity's original literacy, and what alphabetic writing cost us when it displaced that older way of knowing How oral, place-based cultures encode intelligence in the landscape itself, and why that wisdom cannot survive transplantation into a book The phenomenology of perception: how breath, texture, and animal encounter invite a kind of participation with the world that abstract thinking actively forecloses The animism underlying Indigenous cosmologies, not as superstition, but as a precise description of how attention actually works What it means to be a body among bodies, and why the ecological crisis is, at its root, a crisis of the senses How the alphabet quietly re-routed human attention away from the living world and toward a self-enclosed human conversation The rise of AI and what it means when the dominant intelligence shaping our language, perception, and knowledge is no longer rooted in a body, a place, or the breathing earth Practical, grounded ways to reawaken sensory presence, and why this is not a romantic retreat from modernity, but its most urgent frontier This is a conversation about the oldest question: what does it mean to be fully alive and fully here? And it arrives at exactly the right moment. Learn more about David's work at davidabram.org

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with guitarist and composer Stash Wyslouch for a conversation that moves easily between music, teaching, parenthood, and the deeper question of how artists actually learn. Stash has built a unique musical voice that draws from bluegrass, jazz, metal, and avant-garde traditions, and hearing how those influences intersect in his life and work makes for a fascinating conversation.We begin with a big life moment: Stash recently welcomed a newborn into the world. He reflects on how becoming a parent shifts perspective—not just personally, but creatively. Themes like humility, empathy, patience, and time suddenly carry new weight, and those ideas show up in how he approaches collaboration, teaching, and the creative process itself.From there, we trace his musical path—from early experiences in heavy metal to discovering bluegrass, jazz, and experimental music. Growing up in New England, studying at Berklee College of Music, and being part of a tight-knit musical community all helped shape his artistic voice. We also talk about the complicated role of labels like “avant-garde”—how they can be useful shorthand while also limiting how audiences hear the music.We spend real time on influences—Charles Ives, Arnold Schoenberg, Lennie Tristano, and Anthony Braxton—and how ideas from those composers intersect with improvisation, ear training, and creative freedom. And finally, Stash shares details about his upcoming duo record Matty and Debbie with drummer Sean Trischka, a project that pulls together bluegrass, jazz, metal, hymnody, and pure curiosity into one cohesive musical statement.Key TakeawaysParenthood reshapes perspective — becoming a parent can influence creativity, collaboration, and priorities.Musical identity can span genres — Stash's work draws from metal, bluegrass, jazz, and experimental music.Labels can both help and hinder — terms like “avant-garde” describe music but can also narrow how people hear it.Community shapes artists — New England roots and Berklee connections helped shape Stash's musical path.Learning the process matters more than chasing results — growth comes from patience and curiosity.Rhythm and feel take time — some musical skills simply can't be rushed.Creative projects thrive on curiosity — his upcoming duo record with Sean Trischka explores multiple traditions at once.Music from the EpisodeAcoustic Metal Party - Stash WyslouchStash's Turkey in the Straw - Stash WyslouchOver in the Gloryland - Stash WyslouchAbout the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is a podcast hosted by Brad Williams, featuring conversations with musicians, composers, producers, and creative thinkers about their musical journeys.

What does it actually take to land a gig with a Rock and Roll Hall of Fame band? Eric Baines — multi-instrumentalist, producer, touring musician, and podcaster — breaks it all down on this episode of Cover Band Confidential.Eric is currently the bass player for the legendary band Chicago, but the road to that stage ran through Berklee College of Music, the chaotic LA wedding circuit, celebrity gigs with David Foster and Babyface, and — yes — Disneyland's Mad Tea Party show. This is a masterclass in what it really looks like to build a professional music career from the ground up.We dig into the wild realities of LA wedding band life, how playing 200+ nights a year sharpens your musicianship, what working inside the Disney machine teaches you about performance energy, and how word-of-mouth networking (and never burning bridges) ultimately led Eric to Dwight Yoakam and then to Chicago. He also gets real about what it felt like to get "the call," the decision-making process when you already have a steady gig and a new baby at home, and what his first night on stage with Chicago was actually like.If you're a working musician, a touring artist, or anyone trying to build a sustainable career in music, this episode is packed with honest, practical wisdom.

A short film has never met its moment like THE SEEING EYE DOG WHO SAW TOO MUCH (2026), which premiered at South by Southwest (SXSW) film festival this month. Of course it won the audience award -- how could it not? The film, as filmmaker Eric Jackowitz explains, is a homage to Italian giallo films, a mix of mystery horror and thriller films that peaked in the 1970s.Eric's career, as a filmmaker and musician based in Los Angeles, led him to this moment. He plays drums, attended the Berklee College of Music, and I'll say it: he's a brilliant director.The audience at SXSW agrees. And I think you will, too, after hearing our discussion.In this episode, Eric and I discuss:the first time reaction and sensory overload of seeing his award-winning film;why the film was so perfect for SXSW's Midnight Madness competition;what is giallo films and why he was drawn to making one of his own;how he got started in filmmaking and if he has any preferences in terms of writing, directing, and scoring films;what indie filmmakers don't understand about comedy and music in their films;his thoughts on the podcast space for filmmakers;hidden genres of indie films;what's next for him and his advice for people who didn't make SXSW with their films (with a crazy Judd Apatow story!);Eric's Indie Film Highlights: GRIND (2026) dir. by Brea Grant; Chelsea Stardust; Ed Dougherty; I LOVE BOOSTERS (2026) dir. by Boots RileyMemorable Quotes:"It's very mixed, but it ranges on a scale, right? There's people that really get it, who understand giallo films, who are horror fans, who are comedy fans. And then on the other end of it, there are people who are like, wow, I really like that. I don't really know what you were referencing."On giallo films: "And they're so bad. It's good. So good, it's good and so great, it's good.""And I feel like in a short block you have to, and with the goal of making a feature, you have to make as big of a announcement as possible.""Music is an afterthought.""I'm very happy to announce that I actually just quit my job podcasting."Links:Follow Eric On InstagramFollow THE SEEING EYE DOG WHO SAW TOO MUCH On Instagram

Send us Fan MailMusic careers rarely move in a straight line, and Willie Pollock is proof. We talk about how a junior high knee injury took him out of sports and pushed him into a music store, where a rented guitar and Mel Bay books started a chain reaction that never really stopped. From learning solos off vinyl and chasing Duane Allman's slide sound to hearing Robben Ford on Long Island radio and realizing there was a deeper vocabulary to master, Willie shares the moments that shaped his ear, his taste, and his identity as a guitarist.The story turns when an unexpected Jazz Improv elective in college makes the whole thing click and puts him in demand overnight. That spark leads to Berklee College of Music, then back to the Long Island music scene and the Manhattan grind, where original bands, showcase gigs, and low pay test your spirit fast. Willie breaks down the real-life mechanics of becoming a working musician: relationships, subs, bandleaders, touring opportunities, and why “connections” often come from simply showing up and playing well.We also get into the part of the journey people don't romanticize: choosing a teaching career for stability while staying a musician at heart. Willie explains how he brings music into the classroom, what he learns from kids as technology changes, and why phones, social media, and AI music tools like Suno raise big questions about creativity and craft. He closes with the freedom retirement brings, including a hard line many players eventually draw: only taking gigs that feel meaningful.If you care about blues guitar, Berklee stories, the working musician life, music education, and what AI might do to songwriting, press play.

Valdemar Danry is a PhD researcher in the Fluid Interfaces group at the MIT Media Lab, a 2025 Google PhD Fellow in Human-Computer Interaction, and one of the most important voices at the intersection of artificial intelligence, neuroscience, and philosophy of mind. His landmark study, Your Brain on ChatGPT: Accumulation of Cognitive Debt when Using an AI Assistant for an Essay-Writing Task, sparked a global conversation about what happens to human cognition when we delegate our thinking to machines. In this rich and urgent episode, Valdemar unpacks the science behind AI's effect on the brain, exploring: The difference between cognitive offloading and cognitive debt, and the moment one quietly becomes the other What EEG brain data revealed when people wrote essays with versus without ChatGPT, and why the sequence of tool use matters enormously Why AI systems that hand us answers rather than ask us questions may be slowly eroding our capacity for independent thought "Desirable difficulties," the intentional friction that makes learning stick, and two simple habits that keep AI as a thinking aid rather than a thinking replacement Whether the reasoning traces and thinking steps now visible in tools like Claude, Grok, and Gemini genuinely help people reason, or simply create a more sophisticated illusion of understanding A plain-English glossary of key terms: cognitive offloading, cognitive debt, transactive memory, extended cognition, epistemic hygiene, and more Three possible futures, Assistive Renaissance, Dependency Drift, and Captured Cognition, and what determines which path we take What Orwell and Huxley each got right about the world we're now living in This is an honest, grounded, and deeply important conversation about one of the defining questions of our time: as AI gets smarter, do we get sharper, or do we quietly outsource the very faculty that makes us human?

On Episode 147 of the Guest Speaker Series, we are joined by rising hip-hop artist KSAP! Currently a senior at Medford High School, KSAP is the youngest guest we have ever had on the show, as well as the youngest artist to be nominated for a Boston Music Award this past December for his music video “100 Miles”. Despite not taking home the award, KSAP reflects on what he still feels like is a win and a huge achievement, especially as he got accepted to Berklee College of Music shortly after. KSAP discusses what he hopes to learn there, as well as his goals for his future in music. KSAP also shares the deep connections he's made in Medford, particularly within the high school community, and talks at length about the support he's received throughout his young music career. He also praises his mother & grandparents for their encouragement and credits them for helping him become the young man and artist he is today. KSAP & Mike also reflect on the Boston music scene as whole, discussing what KSAP believes is a lack of mutual support amongst creatives, and how to potentially navigate the landscape and create positive change within the culture. KSAP brings a fresh perspective not only to the genre of hip-hop, but how to effectively create a brand and a movement that impacts his peers. KSAP is a bright and innovative mind that has all of the aspects necessary to be a musical mainstay in Boston and beyond for years to come.

Sarah Gromko and Matthew Zachary go back to SUNY Binghamton in the early 1990s, when they were barely 19 and living inside rehearsal rooms. She starred in campus musical theater productions. He served as pianist and music director for many of those shows and played rehearsal piano for the THEA101 repertory company. This episode reunites two former theater nerds who grew up and took very different paths through art, illness, and work that still circles the same truth.Gromko trained as a singer and composer, studied film scoring at Berklee College of Music, worked in New York and New Orleans, then moved into healthcare as a speech language pathologist and recognized vocologist. She explains aphasia, apraxia, dysarthria, and dysphagia with clarity earned from the clinic. She recounts helping a 16 year old gunshot survivor in New Orleans speak again using Melodic Intonation Therapy. The conversation covers voice banking for ALS, gender affirming voice care, and the damage caused when medicine confuses speech loss with intelligence loss. The result feels like an epic reunion powered by 1990s nostalgia and sharpened by decades of lived consequence.RELATED LINKSSarah GromkoGramco VoiceMelodic Intonation TherapyFEEDBACKLike this episode?
