Podcasts about Big Country

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avallone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for June 1, 2026. We open with a question that sounds simple but goes deeper than you'd expect — why do we accept visible decline? In our public spaces, in our monuments, in our cities. We connect the psychology of personal presentation to the way communities signal what they expect of themselves, explain why Washington D.C. went decades without anyone in power noticing a fountain outside Union Station hadn't worked in 17 years, and give credit where it's due — Interior Secretary Doug Burgum, who says squalor is not a destiny, it is a choice — for the restoration happening across the nation's capital right now. Even in a city where 98% voted for Kamala Harris, people are noticing the fountains are running again. In our Top 3, New Jersey police finally broke up the well-organized, well-funded riots outside the ICE detention center in Newark after Governor Mickey Sherrill instituted a curfew — and once order was restored, ICE was able to resume visitation rights at the facility. Then the frontrunner for the Democrat Senate nomination in Maine is now facing allegations of sending sexually explicit messages to multiple women on a platform known as a predator's paradise — on top of the previously reported SS tattoo — and is still leading in the polls. And the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that Texas can enforce its state-level law making illegal entry into Texas a state crime — a significant win for state sovereignty and border security. We revisit the CDL license story — a naturalized Chinese citizen in New York who could not speak or read English was given a commercial driver's license and subsequently killed five people, four of them from the same immigrant family. We ask the hard question — when you relax your standards past the point of logic, people die. And the state of New York failed those people by treating a CDL as a checkbox rather than a safety standard. Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson tackle the great group chat divide — who leaves, who stays, who creates the devastating side chat that accidentally gets sent back to the main group, and why the proper etiquette for exiting a group chat is to announce your departure before the precious baby photo drops and not the second after. We also get into the workplace group chat that becomes a clique engine, and why men with fat thumbs just don't participate. We dig deep into a CBRE study on corporate headquarter relocations covering 2018 through 2024 — and the results could not be clearer. In 2024 alone, California lost 17 corporate headquarters, 12 of them to Texas. Texas gained nearly 50% of all interstate relocations. The number one reason companies gave — by a margin that made every other reason almost irrelevant — was business climate, meaning lower taxes, fewer regulations, and local governments that actually want you there. We connect it to the same reason individuals move from blue states to red states and tie it back to the core argument of our book Bright Spots, Big Country — economic freedom is the engine of everything. We also dig into the Iran situation — where President Trump is continuing negotiations while maintaining military and economic pressure through the Strait of Hormuz blockade. We share our theory that the timeline for final resolution may be connected to the midterm elections, why the next military step would create a humanitarian crisis Trump is trying to avoid, and why the Democrats calling it a quagmire have it exactly backwards. We also cover the Pennsylvania woman now on the FBI's Most Wanted list for faking a terminal cancer diagnosis to swindle friends and family out of $11,000 — and use it as an illustration of what a law and order administration looks like when it sets a tone that no fraud is too small to chase. For our Bright Spot, Target is testing a new employee evaluation system that measures customer interaction — eye contact, greetings, offering assistance, projecting the energy of someone who is actually glad you're there. We call it common sense disguised as innovation and point out the oldest truth in business — what gets measured gets done. We also check in on the Los Angeles mayor's race, where Spencer Pratt is not just competitive against incumbent Karen Bass — he's running what may be the most effective political advertising campaign we've seen, built entirely on common sense ideas and the willingness to acknowledge visible reality. We make the case that in 2026, voters don't care about your resume anymore. They care whether you're willing to tell the truth about what's in front of them. And we close with Ethan Hayes, playing guitar in his backyard, and eight-year-old neighbor Madeline Glenn, who wrote a song request on a piece of paper, folded it into a paper airplane, and tossed it over the fence. Ethan played Love Story. The video went viral. Taylor Swift found out, and sent handwritten letters and signed guitars to both of them. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

God is moving in the Big Country, and it's happening in real, everyday places. In this episode, Levi and Nick are joined by Matt and Will for a conversation about what they're seeing across our city. From young adults stepping into community, to families finding rhythm again, to ministries like Beltway Garage and Boots on the Ground meeting real needs in practical ways. It's not loud or flashy. It's steady. It's personal. And it's changing lives. We share stories, moments, and glimpses of what God is doing right here at home, and why it matters for all of us.

S9E11 went out live from the TSORR Studio on Myoli Beach on 12 Mar 2026 at 19h00 on Bulldogs Radio.  It was a strange show. Audience numbers are dwindling on Bulldogs, and now that I have shut down Rebel Rock, I may have to rethink. I'll see how long we can keep this thing going for, but I suspect I will have to find another home for the Live show soon.  The one thing that didn't work was the Springbok Nude Girls track I've called ‘Total Shit' because it came up as 'Blue Eyes' but it's just one of those awful trumpet/warble jams they sometimes do. I suggest skipping from about 2:00 to 2:07. Other than that, it was great. Enjoyed it. Hope you do too.      Check out the website: www.thestoryofrockandroll.com  all the video, interviews and bonus materials for the show are on the site.     If you want to be on the mailing list for all the weekly videos and documentaries of show-related material send an email to:  thestoryofrockandroll1@gmail.com Artists featured:   Rival Sons, Phil Campbell and the Bastard Sons, Danko Jones, Dio, Led Zeppelin, Wishbone Ash, The Lazys, ACDC, Jimmy Barnes, Brave Rival, Jasper Dan, Black Label Society, Dave Hause, Iron Maiden, Def Leppard, R.E.M., Pantera, Hell Yeah, Collective Soul, Disturbed, Big Country, Motley Crue, KISS, Metallica, The Smashing Pumpkins, Springbok Nude Girls, Eric Clapton, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Jonny Winter, Rory Gallagher, Shinedown, St. Aurora, Palaye Royale, Kickin' Valentina, Annihilator, OverkillThe Story of Rock and Roll.  TSORR - Your one-stop shop for Rock

Joe Glascock manages the historic Winecup Gamble Ranch, a 1.2-million-acre buckaroo outfit in northeast Nevada. Established in the Thousand Springs Valley shortly after the Central Pacific Railroad arrived in the area, the ranch features a combination of deeded land and government allotments that includes meadow pastures at 5,000 feet elevation, mountain ranges that climb to 8,700 feet and plenty of expansive, high desert ranges. Glascock, who hired on in 2020, shares the colorful history of the Winecup Gamble , which has been owned by the likes of Utah Construction Company, actor Jimmy Stewart, Paul Fireman of Reebok, and now Stan Kroenke, who also owns the Waggoner Ranch in Texas, the Gang and Douglas Lake in Canada, Singletons in New Mexico, and several other ranches throughout the West. Glascock also recounts his own background, which includes working for the Bureau of Land Management, studying at the King Ranch Institute in South Texas, and buckarooing on several Great Basin outfits.

Ten Across Conversations returns next week with a limited series, a three-part narrative look at key intersections of water and energy in Texas.  What does a severe statewide drought, ambitious industry buildout, and rapid population boom tell us about the future in this part of the country and beyond?  Join us over the next three episodes as we take you from the halls of the Texas legislature, where policymakers are working to secure vulnerable infrastructure and resources across the state, to the Big Country and west where residents watch the land transform into colossal data centers feeding the race to support AI.  We will explore how these stories connect—how decisions made in the Oval Office are reshaping Texas water, energy and infrastructure policy, how people are navigating changes, and how decisions made here reflect the interests of the Ten Across region and the country at large. Episode one is available February 5th.  Series release schedule   February 5th: A look at Texas's efforts to drought-proof economic and population growth  February 19th:  Meeting direct and indirect water needs tied to data centers  March 5th: Big tech demands are reshaping the Texas grid and energy landscape  March 19th: A regional analysis of water, energy, and the future of tech along the I-10

Welcome back to Scene Missing, the show where we dig past the highlight reels and get into the real story. This time, Gabriel Hardman, Ian Brill, and I take a hard, unsentimental look at the career of Burl Ives—a performer whose legacy is far bigger, messier, and more complicated than the warm baritone most people remember.We start with the role that earned him Hollywood's highest honor: his Oscar-winning turn as Rufus Hannassey in The Big Country, opposite Gregory Peck, Jean Simmons, and Charlton Heston—a performance that weaponized charm into something quietly menacing. From there, we contrast it with the brutal, snowbound moral reckoning of Day of the Outlaw, where Ives delivers one of the coldest outlaw portrayals ever put on film. We also explore his unexpected presence in prestige drama, including Cat on a Hot Tin Roof, sharing the screen with Paul Newman and Elizabeth Taylor, and how his earthy gravitas grounded Tennessee Williams' overheated world.On television, we revisit his folksy patriarch on O.K. Crackerby!, his later dramatic turn on The Bold Ones: The Lawyers, and how TV both extended and softened his public image. And yes—we absolutely talk about the role that permanently etched him into pop culture: the voice of Sam the Snowman in Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer, a performance so comforting it practically erased the edge of the man behind it.But we don't stop at acting. Ives' massive influence as a folk singer is front and center—from “Blue Tail Fly” to “Big Rock Candy Mountain”—along with the career-altering moment that still sparks controversy: his testimony before the House Un-American Activities Committee, where he named names, including Pete Seeger, reshaping both of their legacies in opposite directions. This isn't a tribute. It's an honest conversation about talent, ambition, fear, and compromise—and how one man could be a beloved storyteller, a terrifying screen presence, and a cautionary tale all at once.

The music industry has a history of not being fair to its artists. Christopher and Tom begin this episode by talking about artists who did not get the credit they deserved. Little known names like Martha Wash, Frank Sampedro and Rory Dodd get a brief, but well-deserved moment in the spotlight. Also this week… an excellent 2008 interview with Sheryl Crow, in conversation with Marilyn Denis and Roger Ashby. This conversation gets quite deep – as it covers her music, her fight with breast cancer, standing up for her beliefs and her very public breakup. A lot of info in a small amount of time. Then, we have a follow up chat with Rik Emmet of Triumph… Tom spoke to Rik a few months ago about his song “Hold On” becoming the Music Monday anthem for the Coalition For Music Education. But there are parts of that interview that you didn’t hear, including a very funny tale of the time when something went terribly awry during their stage show in the early days. And we finish things off with a band that only had a brief moment in the spotlight, but their sound was just epic. We’re talking about Big Country. We feature a 1986 chat with singer Stuart Adamson and drummer Mark Brzezicki from the band.

Episode 95: Simon Phillips. This is the definitive deep dive into the legendary career of Simon Phillips, one of the most influential drummers in the world. In this long form conversation, Simon talks about his work with Toto, The Who, Judas Priest, Hiromi, Protocol, Jeff Beck, Jack Bruce, Pete Townshend, Big Country, Stanley Clarke, Brian Eno, Phil Manzanera, and goes all the way back to his teenage session years in the UK with his dad. This episode covers his technique, sound, gear, studio approach, compositions, touring stories, engineering background, and the experiences that shaped his career. Simon tells the story of stepping into Toto after the passing of Jeff Porcaro and what it took to honor Jeff's legacy while still bringing his own sound, groove, and musical identity to the band. He breaks down his years touring and recording with The Who, including the 1989 anniversary tour and his approach to Keith Moon's parts. We also go deep into his early session years with Judas Priest and the making of Sin After Sin, including the double bass drumming that influenced an entire generation of metal drummers. Simon talks about his long running musical connection with Hiromi and the creation of Hiromi's Trio Project, the interplay that developed between them, and stories of his brotherhood with contrabass guitar legend Anthony Jackson. Simon shares the evolution of his writing and bandleading with Protocol, including how he builds compositions from drum ideas and how he made the project happen. We go into how he records drums and stories of so many of his ensembles. We explore his open handed and ambidextrous technique, his approach to tom and cymbal layouts, drum tuning, how he builds his drum tones in the studio, and his engineering background from his early years working in studios. This episode is ideal for drummers, musicians, audio engineers, producers, and fans of Toto, Jeff Porcaro, The Who, Keith Moon, Judas Priest, heavy metal drumming, Mike Oldfield, progressive rock, fusion, Hiromi, Anthony Jackson, and anyone who wants to understand how a legendary drummer built a world class career. Simon also talks about rebuilding after losing his home and studio in the Thomas Fire, what inspires him today, and how he continues to grow as a drummer and composer.

It's the last Episode of Season 4!And I think I've finally answered one of my opening questions - why did America make our grocery stores the way we did? As soon as Americans could, we ignored the food on the ground (unless it was familiar like deer or duck or pigeon) and instead brought our own provisions.  But when you do that, and don't develop local talent - the selection end up terribly limited.So now in modern America - we seem to be attempting to make up for lost time... by making our grocery store selection even larger.Check out this last episode before I go study the terrible food of war.Music Credit: Fingerlympics by Doctor TurtleShow Notes: https://thehistoryofamericanfood.blogspot.com/Email: TheHistoryofAmericanFood at gmail dot comThreads: @THoAFoodInstagram: @THoAFood& some other socials... @THoAFood

Tom Will is a poet who has, among other things, written Pale Townie (Apocalypse Confidential, 2023), a 999-line poem which keeps the heroic couplet end rhymes from Pale Fire (Nabokov/Shade) intact, while transforming the story into something quite different, very Tom Will. He's also recently published American Cats Are in a Big Country (2024, Farthest Heaven), a collection of 73 poems, all of which are very much worth your time and love.We got to talk about the process of writing Pale Townie, why limericks are so funny, prose poems, clunk, Tom's future projects, and a lot more.Tom tends to pace while talking. I decided to keep these parts and leave them unedited, because the full Tom Will experience involves periods of muffled audio and sudden clear exclamations. To deny these parts would be to deny the fullness of communication.Find Tom's books here: https://many.bio/thomaswillTom's RecommendationsFarthest Heaven - https://farthestheaven.com/Apocalypse Confidential - https://apocalypse-confidential.com/Wallace Barker - https://wallacebarker.com/Hayden Church - So What - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0FG1Y6P29Dustin Cole - Find After Sunstone on the Farthest Heaven website (https://farthestheaven.com/)Anna Krivalopova - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CCW2HGMXSoft Union magazine - https://softunion.online/Adam Johnson - Cialis, Verdi, Gin, Jag - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0B86SK97YOFFICEPARKS - Noam Hessler - Coming out soon with Farthest Heaven (https://farthestheaven.com/)!VERY IMPORTANT INFORMATIONJack has published a novel called Tower!Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Tower-Jack-BC-ebook/dp/B0CM5P9N9M/ref=monarch_sidesheetThe first nine chapters of Tower are available for free here: jackbc.substack.comOur Patreon: www.patreon.com/TheBookClubfromHellJack's Substack: jackbc.substack.comLevi's website: www.levioutloud.comwww.thebookclubfromhell.comJoin our Discord (the best place to interact with us): discord.gg/ZMtDJ9HscrWatch us on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UC0n7r1ZTpsUw5exoYxb4aKA/featuredX: @bookclubhell666Jack on X: @supersquat1Levi on X: @optimismlevi

Harrison and Sterling Kothmann grew up around ranching, construction, and heavy equipment. This upbringing gave them the knowledge to build a successful equipment dealership and rental company, even though that wasn't their plan. They both took a little different paths in life and they both ended up getting the skills they needed to complement each other well in business. While Sterling learned a lot of skills at business school Harrison got a lot of real world experience in the construction industry and ended up starting the business. They've both used their skills to grow and expand the business through the years. Like a lot of business owners they learned a lot through trial and error and asking a lot of questions.

Robin Millar doesn't let anything hold him back. The man is blind, and yet he became one of the most successful producers in the UK in the 80s. His biggest claim to fame is shepherding a young Sade to two world-beating albums (her first two). Working together to find her unique sound made him the go-to guy for "sophistopop" and brought him a ton of success. He did the first few Everything But the Girl albums, the Fine Young Cannibals' debut, the first Colin Hay album and even scratched his rock itch by doing the third Big Country album. Oh, and he discovered Phoebe Bridgers and Cigarettes After Sex. And he was appointed CBE. And knighted. And, again, he's blind. You won't believe this one!  www.robinmillar.org.uk/music www.patreon.com/c/thehustlepod
