The fourth season of Monster, Netflix's true crime anthology, concerns itself with Wisconsin serial killer (or was he? (he probably was)) Ed Gein, played by former Queer As Folk cutie Charlie Hunnam.

Richard presents the Season 2 finale of The Traitors Australia for induction into The Canon. Then, after naming the week's Winner and Loser, it's on to a Game Time about the shows select actors did for up to but NOT more than 30 episodes. Take a break from wood chopping and join us! GUESTS
Let's talk about something that every coach, creative, and entrepreneur secretly fears: critics and reviews.This episode was inspired by (who else?) Taylor Swift. When The Life of a Showgirl dropped last week, my feed exploded with reviews—some glowing, some downright vicious. And as I was sipping my coffee and scrolling through the noise, I found myself thinking a lot about what it means to show up, be visible, and share your work when you know not everyone's going to like it.Because here's the truth: they won't.I've been dealing with critics since I was ten years old—starting on Broadway, where a single bad review could close a show. Then later as a yoga teacher and studio owner, reading someone's nasty Yelp post about my class being “too alignment-based.” And now as a business and life coach, I see it every day: brilliant entrepreneurs holding themselves back because they're scared of what someone might think.In this episode, I'm sharing:Why the fear of judgment and rejection keeps so many entrepreneurs from growing their businessWhat Taylor Swift and Billy Joel can teach us about resilience, artistry, and creative longevityThe difference between constructive critique and destructive criticism—and why most haters aren't qualified to judge your workHow to build the mindset and self-trust that keep you grounded and confident in your businessWhy you can't and shouldn't be for everyone—and how niching down actually gives you more freedom and fulfillmentThe more passionate you are about your work, the scarier it can feel to put it out there. But this is me reminding you that your business will grow faster when you stop trying to please everyone and focus on the people who are truly for you.If you've ever struggled with visibility, rejection, or the fear of being judged, this episode will help you take a deep breath, stay in your lane, and keep showing up for the clients and community who get it.Get Full Show Notes, Event Sign Ups and More Information Here:http://www.staceybrassrussell.com/podcast

Hour 2 - On this episode of The ‘X' Zone Radio/TV Show, Rob McConnell sits down with Howard Bloom—legendary publicist-turned-science author whose roster included icons like Michael Jackson, Prince, Billy Joel, John Mellencamp, and ZZ Top—to unpack his latest big-idea thesis from The Case of the Sexual Cosmos: Everything You Know About Nature Is Wrong. Bloom argues that desire, creativity, and cooperation are not side notes to evolution—they're its engine. From backstage lessons in mass psychology to deep dives into biology, astrophysics, and culture, Bloom lays out why attraction and information-sharing shape galaxies, ecosystems, and civilizations. It's a fast, fearless conversation that blends showbiz war stories with mind-expanding science, and asks: what if the universe is wired for connection?

Face the Music: An Electric Light Orchestra Song-By-Song Podcast
The Stranger was the album that, after a decade of setbacks, finally made Billy Joel a success. It was no surprise it's follow-up, 1978's 52nd Street, debuted at number one. The sound was a bit jazzier - it was named after the street that hosted a number of famous jazz clubs - and it still produced a number of hits. It would, however, find itself in thrift store bins within a few years of its release, and ultimately sell a bit less than its predecessor.

On this week's episode, host Ted Asregadoo sits down with two of his biggest Billy Joel fan friends, Jeff Giles and Jason Hare, to discuss the recent HBO documentary, And So It Goes. Jeff is the founder of Popdose, host of The Record Player podcast, and creator of the new site Harmonic, while Jason is also a co-founder of Popdose and an avid triathlete. Ted, who was once a DJ imprisoned by the monotony of adult contemporary radio, has a complicated relationship with Joel's music. Forced to play the same nine hit songs on repeat for 13 years, he now has an aversion to tunes like "Piano Man" and "Just the Way You Are." The conversation about the documentary leads to a much deeper discussion of Joel's albums, particularly his 1982 masterpiece, The Nylon Curtain. Both Ted and Jeff agree that this melancholy and often sad album is Joel's creative peak—a personal and generational biography of being a Baby Boomer. In contrast, Jason shares a more foundational love for Joel's music, recalling how hearing "Scenes From an Italian Restaurant" as a kid was what inspired him to start taking piano lessons. Join the trio as they dissect the documentary, debate the brilliance of The Nylon Curtain, and explore Billy Joel's music. ______________________________________ This episode of Planet LP is sponsored by Steve Fox's Old School.

Usually, I feature drummers on this podcast, and we've had some incredible ones—plus music directors like Nate Patten and music coordinators like Michael Aarons and Michael Keller. But this time, I wanted to bring on someone I've known and played with for the past ten years, a true “Piano Man” and multi-instrumentalist who has made his mark on Broadway and beyond: Matthew Friedman.Matthew isn't just a pianist—he's a singer, a bandleader, a composer, and yes, even a drummer. He was “The Piano Man” in the national touring company of Movin' Out and has performed with the legendary Lords of 52nd Street, Billy Joel's original band. He's also been part of Broadway productions like Jersey Boys and Smokey Joe's Café, while leading his own group, Matthew Friedman & Stiletto.In this episode, we talk about:* His early start in music and the influences that shaped him.* How he made the leap from being an attorney to a full-time musician.* The highs and lows of touring life—from first-class gigs to rough bus-and-truck runs.* Stories from his time on Broadway, including connections to past podcast guest Jon Berger and future guest Joe Bergamini.* What it means to be more than just a player in the pit—how to lead, adapt, and thrive as a versatile instrumentalist.Matthew has great stories, big insights, and a unique perspective on what it takes to succeed in this business—not just as a drummer, but as a full-fledged musician and bandleader.Some clips of me playing a fun gig with him several years ago:Clayton Craddock founded Broadway Drumming 101, an in-depth online platform offering specialized mentorship and a carefully curated collection of resources tailored for aspiring and professional musicians.Clayton's Broadway and Off-Broadway credits include tick, tick…BOOM!, Altar Boyz, Memphis The Musical, Lady Day at Emerson's Bar and Grill, Ain't Too Proud – The Life and Times of The Temptations, Cats: The Jellicle Ball, The Hippest Trip: The Soul Train Musical, and The Gospel at Colonus (featuring Kim Burrell). As a skilled sub, he has contributed his talents to notable productions, including Motown, Evita, Cats, Avenue Q, The Color Purple, Rent, SpongeBob SquarePants: The Musical, and the national tour of Hadestown, among many others. He has also appeared on major shows including The View, Good Morning America, Jimmy Fallon, The Today Show, and the TONY Awards. He has performed with legends like The Stylistics, The Delfonics, Mario Cantone, Laura Benanti, Kristin Chenoweth, Kerry Butler, Christian Borle, Norm Lewis, Deniece Williams, Chuck Berry, and Ben E.

RUNDOWN Not a roast but a convo about Taylor Swift's appearance with the Kelce brothers. Maybe some Kylie vs. Taylor banter, and Billy Joel's new documentary. Mitch and Hotshot run through notable August 18th birthdays and remembrances before spotlighting historic sports moments—from George Brett's chase for .400 to Earl Campbell's retirement and Rich Beem's upset of Tiger Woods. Then a little Beatles-in-Seattle tour lore. From there, the show jumps into Ed Sullivan's power to launch music careers, including the Commodores' near-miss. The Mariners' playoff push and the Seahawks' preseason promise. Mitch praises the offensive line and Sam Darnold's sharp play, while Hotshot keeps him grounded with the refrain: “It's the preseason.” The duo even dream on a Trey Hendrickson trade. The Mariners No-Table crew dives into a tough 2–4 stretch against Baltimore and New York, citing both rotation struggles and lineup issues, while finding optimism in Bryce Miller's return and Brian Wu's consistency. Gino Suarez's slump and playoff rotation questions loom large, as bold predictions fly for the Phillies and A's series. Brady Henderson of ESPN joins to break down Uchenna Nwosu's return, the unlikely Hendrickson trade scenario, Jake Bobo's breakout, and Clint Kubiak's offensive reboot. He also highlights Zach Charbonnet's growing role, Sam Darnold's fit in the new scheme, and the roster battles heating up ahead of Week 1. KJ-Aren'ts—Mitch and Jason Puckett banter over podcast quirks, golf habits, chowder debates in the heat, and family traditions. The conversation winds into nostalgic territory with Christmas memories and video game firsts, from Pong to Nintendo.
