We back and its con season! We're talking all things Anime Milwaukee

Send a textEver yell at your screen because the boom mic is right there? We sat down with Chicago filmmaker Will Adams to unpack how he turned the internet's favorite “bad movie” moments into a sharp, self-aware comedy that has audiences laughing with the filmmakers instead of at them. From fake eating and no-blood gunfights to the infamous not-really-kissing kiss, Will bakes the jokes into the script, then lets pros like Damon Williams, Adele Givens, and B. Cole deliver them with perfect timing.We dig into why writing is the single biggest lever for indie film quality and how a tight script can survive rough edges that fancy cameras can't hide. Will lays out a practical blueprint—write first, lock locations, then cast with dates—and explains why unstructured improv often wrecks continuity and pacing. As a director, he owns the vision, coaching performances until the line clicks because “that's a cut” is a promise to the audience. His Chicago upbringing—code-switching between grandma's grammar lessons and South Side cadence—shows up in dialogue that sounds lived-in, not lab-built, and in his refusal to box Black stories into endless gangster reruns.We also talk distribution and discoverability, the power of watching comedy with a crowd, and the music puzzle: why he partners with a composer to nail tone while dodging rights landmines. Will's influences span Pulp Fiction and Snatch, structures where every character is the star of their own thread before everything collides. That DNA shapes the film's spine, preventing sketch chaos and rewarding attention with layered payoffs. Before we wrap, Will teases Fluke—think Atlanta meets Curb Your Enthusiasm—about an out-of-work actor who keeps failing upward, proof that there's room for fresh, funny, human stories that don't recycle the same tired tropes.If you're hungry for smarter laughs and better craft, hit play, share the link with a note, and tell a friend what gag destroyed you.

Shoot Me A Quick Text & Introduce YourselfIf you've ever felt motivated to change… only to fall off a few days later, you're not alone. Most people believe they struggle with consistency because they lack motivation. But the real issue isn't drive, it's dependence on feelings.In this episode, you'll learn why motivation rises and falls, why relying on it creates start-stop cycles, and what actually creates lasting consistency. You'll learn the difference between motivation and structure, and how habits, standards, identity, systems, and environment make follow-through easier, even on low-energy days.If you're tired of starting and stopping, and you want to build discipline that lasts, this episode will help you shift from emotional effort to reliable consistency.Support the showFree download: 5 Mindset Shifts & Micro-HabitsInstagram YouTube Support the show - Show your appreciation by supporting the show

On this episode, Donna and Dr. Anna Malaika Tubbs sat down for a live book talk at Wayne State University for their Black History Month program. Anna, a two-time New York Times best-selling author, whose work explores the intersection of history, sociology and gender, is best known for her book The Three Mothers, which examines the lives and influence of the mothers of Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X and James Baldwin.Together, they honor these three mothers and discuss how their ideas, labor, and love shaped American history. They also connect their work to Detroit's legacy, the erasure of women throughout history, and how Black women can reclaim their narratives in the present day.To learn more about Dr. Anna Malaika Tubbs and her work, click here. Support the showFollow us on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.

Send a textThe moment you decide to end something beloved is the moment your standards get loud. We talk with author-engineer-artist Steve Sxak about closing the Marston House Cipher after 15 years of free, culture-first sessions—and why a final-season victory lap and documentary are the right way to honor it. The reasons are honest: parenthood, touring, writing, and an unwillingness to do a half-speed version of a pillar that helped define Philly's underground hip-hop.From there we dive into the shifting DNA of battle rap. Steve's watched the scene evolve from off-the-top, on-beat warfare to intricate, months-in-the-making a cappella performances. We break down the pros and cons of both, the real boundaries—words are open, hands are not—and the intangible skills that separate a punchline from a moment: timing, breath, and crowd control. Philly is the backdrop for it all—late nights, tight roads, and tighter communities that push you to grow or get left.Creation doesn't stop at the booth. Steve's touring with The Heroes League into SXSW's Nerdcore Days, carrying a mobile studio to capture spontaneous collabs. He's dropping a project every month across hip-hop, R&B, folk, and punk, plus a hard-knock record with Amsterdam's Skinny Bones the Godfather that's taking him to Europe and beyond. We also unpack the surprise hit of his YA novel, Invasion Of The Punk Rockers Who Drink Blood, how a joke title became a serious story about belonging and real-world monsters, and what it took to bring it to life.Underneath the accolades is a working parent's blueprint: homeschooling for flexibility and focus, kids in the room learning engineering and rhythm, and a studio practice that values preparation over posturing. If you've ever wrestled with when to close a chapter, how to protect your standards, or how to build a creative life that still makes room for Nerf wars and bedtime, this conversation lands.

On this episode, Donna and Sam sat down with Dexter Sullivan, founder of the Black Legacy Advancement Coalition (BLAC) to discuss how they're building Black power and continuing Detroit's legacy as a Black city. The roots of BLAC began to take form in the heart of its founder, Dexter Sullivan, in the early 2000s. Then, in 2020, the world stopped as black residents were impacted at a disproportionate rate. Under the conditions of lockdown, we could no longer numb ourselves with the routine obligations of life and career. Instead, we were forced to reckon with the physical, psychological, emotional, and spiritual ramifications of actively witnessing black lives destroyed without the responsible parties being held accountable. As a coalition, they are driven by passion, healing and legacy-creation. While they strive toward a bold and powerful vision, they are clear that their efforts will require a commitment that spans decades and, perhaps, generations. Still, they are committed to creating a world that builds on the legacy of our ancestors who fought and died for centuries in an effort to secure our civil liberties and equity.To learn more about Black Legacy Advancement Coalition (BLAC) and their work, click here. FOR HOT TAKES:TERMINATION THREAT OVER DETROIT IMMIGRATION ARREST ANGERS MICHIGAN CONSERVATIVESINTERNAL POLLING SHOWS BENSON LEADS JAMES AND DUGGAN IN RACE FOR MICHIGAN GOVERNORSupport the showFollow us on Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.

Joy can be a radical act on a Chicago stage. We sit down with the C.R.E.A.M  Girls—Indica and CookieNoMilk—to unpack how routines, faith, and a gritty sense of humor keep them balanced while they chase bigger rooms and brighter lights. From West Side roots to synchronized performances, they show how therapy, poetry, and family history turned into a sound that's equal parts fun and fearless.We go deep on the craft. Why stage presence matters as much as bars. How image communicates intent. What open mics can unlock when you treat them like headline sets. The C.R.E.A.M Girls explain why audience engagement isn't optional, how a signature handshake and coordinated fits make you memorable, and why artists should invest in performance planning, not just studio time. They name-check influences from Mary J. and Drew Hill to J. Cole and Durk, then draw a clean line between nostalgia, lyricism, and energy that moves a room.The most powerful moment centers on “Holding On,” a record born from personal loss. CookieNoMilk opens up about grief, resilience, and using music to speak when words fail. From there, we widen the lens: what today's hip-hop is missing—respect for women and room for maturity—and how the city can win with less gatekeeping and more honest guidance. We talk dream collabs, the difference between BET and the Grammys, and why Chicago's indie film scene needs stronger scripts, rehearsal, and coaching to match its ambition.If you care about artist development, community building, and the unglamorous habits that lead to stage-ready magic, this one hits home.

Chicago doesn't let you get comfortable—and that's the point. We sit down with K.E.N (Killing Every Note) to trace a path from grade-school poetry recitals to genre-bending records, hard-earned stage chops, and a mindset tuned to resilience over approval. He's reading The Courage to Be Disliked and living it out loud: letting go of instant validation, choosing intention over attention, and treating discomfort as a cue to level up.K.E.N breaks down the craft like a technician. He talks flow pockets, syllable choices, and how fast rap only works when it's melodic and clear. We get inside his performance philosophy—how the best sets start with reading the room, rehearsing with purpose, and building a moment people feel long after the last hook. Then we dig into the making of Limitations, a rock-leaning track that clicked only after he brought in Voxy the Artist to scream on the record and arranged those textures like instruments. It's a lesson in serving the song instead of ego.We also explore why local artists often stand in their own way, how to keep releasing when early responses are quiet, and why numbers mean more when pulled back into real-life scale. And yes, we go deep on the enduring power of Fuck That Nine To Five—why it resonates in every room, how he softened the delivery without losing bite, and what a two-plus-year push taught him about patience and payoff. Along the way, K.E.N shares what's next: a collab with Rhymster, teaching hip-hop at a Wicker Park school, a CAN TV performance, and a mysterious “draft number six.”Tap play, get energized, and bring your focus back to the work that matters.

What if love doesn't end when the relationship does? We sit down with coach Emma Galland for a candid, unfiltered journey through desire mismatch, asexuality, and the courage it takes to tell the truth even when it breaks the old container. Emma shares why her marriage ended without bitterness, how she and her ex kept a profound bond, and why radical honesty protects love while betrayal destroys it. We unpack jealousy, ego, and the myth of ownership—shifting from “you belong to me” to “we each belong to ourselves.” Along the way we explore monogamy as a cultural choice, not a biological default, and what it means to design a relationship that actually fits who you are.If you've ever struggled to talk about sex, Emma's tools will change your script. Learn the “couple bubble,” a structured space where partners speak without interruption, and discover how to normalize sexual check-ins so fantasies don't feel like landmines. We also get practical about libido: the big depressors (alcohol, smoking, certain drugs), why circulation is everything, and how leafy greens and nitric oxide support arousal for all genders. From tantra and sacred intention to voyeurism, nudity, and boundaries, this conversation blends anthropology, health, and real-life coaching into a toolkit you can use tonight.Expect clear language, zero shame, and actionable steps: ask what felt good, separate fantasy from action, question conditioning, and choose integrity over secrecy. Whether you're happily monogamous or curious about ethical nonmonogamy, these insights help you build trust, deepen intimacy, and stay true to yourself.

Shoot Me A Quick Text & Introduce YourselfIf you feel like you keep ending up in the same situations, with different people, different goals, different seasons, but nothing truly changes, this episode is for you.In this conversation, I break down why you can't skip the stage you're in, why time alone doesn't move you forward, and how avoiding the lesson keeps you stuck repeating the same chapter. We talk about the difference between simply going through hard seasons versus actually growing through them, and what it takes to stop surviving and start evolving.You'll learn how to recognize patterns that keep looping in your life, why discomfort is part of real growth, and practical ways to respond differently so this season doesn't come back around.If you're tired of restarting, rushing the process, or feeling stuck in cycles, this episode will help you extract the lesson, make the shift, and move forward with intention.Support the showFree download: 5 Mindset Shifts & Micro-HabitsInstagram YouTube Support the show - Show your appreciation by supporting the show
