Bird on AmericanaFest, Accidental Filmmaking, and Storytelling Through Music | Curious Goldfish PodcastHost Jason English welcomes Janie, who performs as Bird, to the Curious Goldfish Podcast in Nashville during AmericanaFest. Bird, half Irish and half English, grew up in London, is based in Italy, and is increasingly working in the U.S. after receiving an O-1 visa. She discusses Irish storytelling roots, her classical cello training from age six, learning drums at 11, and influences ranging from Jacqueline du Pré to Led Zeppelin and Bob Dylan that shaped her Americana sound. Bird explains the origin of her stage name, her “accidental filmmaker” path after a cinematic album stalled during COVID, and her short films “Wider Than the Sky” and “You Found a Friend in Elvis,” inspired by a Roy Orbison story. She outlines festival strategy, upcoming full-length film plans, two EPs (“Heads or Tales” and “Strange as Folk”) and a vinyl release, touring via Café Nero, and performs “The Tides” solo on cello for the first time.00:00 Irish Storytelling Roots00:55 Podcast Welcome and Guest Intro02:56 Meeting at AmericanaFest03:35 AmericanaFest Buzz and US Plans04:44 Why the Name Bird07:22 Accidental Filmmaker Origin09:12 Elvis and Roy Orbison Mystery11:15 Festival Strategy and No Money12:45 Third Film Tease and Timeline14:13 Back to Music Classical Beginnings15:13 Drums and Rock Influences15:56 Irish Storytelling Roots17:24 Albums and Genre Evolution17:52 Heads or Tales EP18:28 Why Two EPs19:17 Folk Horror Inspiration21:17 Lockdown Demos in Italy22:27 Touring and Future Plans25:19 Curiosity and Connection27:58 The Tides Closing Song
From the beginning of Galileo's career, well before the publication of the Sidereus Nuncius, his contemporaries took pains to shape his reputation and fame. They were fully aware that their efforts would shape the course of his career; they also knew that they would profit from helping him. With Galileo's Fame: Science, Credibility, and Memory in the Seventeenth Century (U Pittsburgh Press, 2025), Anna-Luna Post offers a welcome new perspective on the volatile dynamic between early modern fame and science in Italy, shifting the focus from the recipient of fame to its brokers. Galileo's contemporaries knew his rise to fame was not a matter of course. Not only were his discoveries highly contested, he also was not the first to observe Jupiter's four largest moons. Yet, of the three men who did so between the summer of 1609 and the winter of 1610, Galileo is the only one who achieved both widespread fame and posthumous glory. Post convincingly argues that fame is, rather than the direct result of merit or extraordinary achievements, shaped through human intervention. Freddy Domínguez is a Historian or early modern European history at the University of Arkansas-Fayetteville. He is the author of Radicals in Exile (2020), Bob Dylan in the Attic (2022), and Luisa de Carvajal y Mendoza (2025).

Get your cigar, your cowboy hat, and your copy of the First Amendment ready -- this week we salute musical satirist Richard "Kinky" Friedman who blended sarcastic and often offensive lyrics with Texas twang to create a singular comic persona. Way back in the early 1970s after a stint in the Peace Corps, Kinky returned to his home in Texas and set about forming his most famous -- and most outrageously named -- band -- Kinky Friedman and the Texas Jewboys. Country rock was becoming popular so in spite of (or maybe because of) the name, Kinky scored a recording contract. Did he dial it back a little? Of course, the answer is a resounding NOOOO! In fact his appearance on Austin City Limits was taped, then shelved, because of Kinky's "take no prisoners" approach. After a stint with Bob Dylan's Rolling Thunder Revue, Kinky's musical career stalled leading him to a second round of fame as a mystery novelist with 20-some titles to his credit. Add to that a surprisingly robust run for Governor of Texas in 2006 and we'd say Kinky's "Legend" resume is complete. As always find extra cuts below and thanks for sharing our shows! Want more Kinky? Back in 2005 CBS Sunday Morning profiled Kinky and it has some nice examples of his plain spoken style. https://youtu.be/KOOiCxbL9-g?si=4mqGoBlMphFFLLIt Kinky's lyrics were decidedly radio-unfriendly, but his albums were passed around by fans who liked their lyrics unfiltered. Thanks to Austin City Limits for capturing Kinky back in the day -- even if they put it straight into the vault. https://youtu.be/5FSWm67IhDU?si=L06HLwGX6OntonzO When Kinky ran for Governor of Texas he managed to lure his old pal Mojo Nixon out of retirement to pen a campaign song. He didn't win, but the song is a gem. https://youtu.be/wtOXb2wAlOQ?si=KhHId5bHL3Frf-KQ
The Jay Franze Show: Your backstage pass to the entertainment industry
Ever argued over what makes a voice truly unique? We go all-in on that question and discover why “unmistakable” beats “perfect” almost every time. From Cher and Sinatra to Tom Waits, Stevie Nicks, and Bob Dylan, we debate tone, phrasing, range, and the magic test: can you spot them in one note?We kick off with a left-field warm-up on Texas Roadhouse—founder geography, 34-degree cutting rooms, 36-degree beer, fresh-daily bread, and how grassroots roll drops double as smart local marketing. Then it's a tight country news sweep: Ella Langley's triple-chart moment, Jason Aldean's milestone perspective against legacy greats, the Country Music Hall of Fame's American Currents signal, the Braves Country Fest lineup, new drops from Luke Combs to Charlie Crockett, a classic country tour package, and a Lee Brice single stirring up “country nowadays” debate. The throughline is clear: country's center is widening and listeners are picking winners across lanes.Our chart check balances mainstream and indie, spotlighting why a hold at number three means something different than a quick climb to one, and how pop-country crossovers, storytelling, and rock edges share the same field. Then a rapid-fire trivia duel (rock and country) transforms fun facts into a map of genre evolution—Zeppelin's first name, Master of Puppets in 1986, who ripped the Beat It solo, Opry induction stats, Chris Gaines, and more.The mailbag brings the sharpest industry insights. Can an artist be “outlaw” with label money? What's smarter today: 20-track albums or a disciplined singles drip? Is vinyl a real revenue lane or a nostalgia-forward merch play? Who owns the masters when singers go solo—and what can they do about it? We unpack strategy, contracts, and fan behavior without the fluff.Episode LinksVonray: https://jayfranze.com/episode1/Jason Hale: https://jayfranze.com/episode55/Kyle Fields: https://jayfranze.com/episode79/Lucy Becker: https://jayfranze.com/episode86/Mark Badolato: https://jayfranze.com/episode140/Send a text Support the showLinks Jay Franze: https://jayfranze.com/ JFS Country Countdown: https://jayfranze.com/countdown/ Contact Contact: https://jayfranze.com/contact/ Socials Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jayfranze TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jayfranze X: https://x.com/jayfranze YouTube: https://youtube.com/@jayfranze Services Services: https://jayfranze.com/services/ Books Books: https://jayfranze.com/books/ Merchandise Merchandise: https://jayfranze.com/merchandise/ Support Support: https://jayfranze.com/support/ Sponsor the Show: https://jayfranze.com/sponsor/
Insurance leaders Brandon Schuh and Nick Hartmann unpack the real impact of AI on insurance operations after Insurify's ChatGPT app triggered a 3.9% drop in the S&P 500 Insurance Index. They separate hype from reality, examining how AI actually enhances productivity versus serving as a scapegoat for strategic workforce reductions. The conversation explores Munich Re's Ergo unit cutting 1,000 positions partly through AI integration, while contrasting this with AIG's ambitious 500,000-submission target using their AIG Assist platform by 2030.Major consolidation continues reshaping the industry landscape with Zurich's £8 billion ($11 billion) acquisition of specialty insurer Beazley following rejected initial bids, and Sompo Holdings' regulatory-approved $3.5 billion purchase of Aspen Insurance. Brandon and Nick also analyze the explosive Brown & Brown versus Howden lawsuit after approximately 200 employees departed during holiday season 2025, revealing tensions around non-compete enforcement and talent mobility in brokerage.Beyond M&A drama, Schuh and Hartman discuss underwriting culture at Lloyd's marketplace where reputation risk follows individual decisions, the legal profession's AI adaptation challenges for entry-level associates, and why operational visibility, not more tools, solves agency productivity problems. They emphasize that AI's greatest value lies in eliminating tedious data analysis so professionals can focus on client relationships and strategic advisory work.Key Takeaways- Insurify's ChatGPT integration caused temporary market panic but represents comparison shopping evolution, not industry disruption- AI productivity gains enable faster policy reviews while freeing teams for high-value client advisory work- Munich Re's Ergo unit (not entire company) plans 1,000 position reductions over five years with AI assistance- Zurich secured Beazley acquisition after multiple rejected bids reached £8 billion valuation- Sompo Holdings (not Sampo) received regulatory approval for $3.5 billion Aspen Insurance acquisition- Howden faces multiple lawsuits after approximately 200 Brown & Brown employees departed simultaneously in December 2025- Lloyd's underwriters carry personal reputation risk with each binding decision in the marketplace- Operational visibility tools like FreeFlow.ai solve agency bottlenecks without replacing producersChapters00:00 Episode introduction and sponsor FreeFlow.ai01:35 Return from hiatus and personal updates06:15 Bourbon tasting and Bob Dylan discussion07:14 Insurify ChatGPT app market impact analysis08:42 AI fears versus realistic productivity gains10:33 Legal profession AI adaptation challenges12:48 Policy review efficiency transformation potential13:07 Munich Re Ergo workforce reduction reality check18:15 Industry consolidation: Zurich/Beazley and Sompo/Aspen deals19:39 Brown & Brown versus Howden employee poaching lawsuit21:38 Underwriting culture and reputation risk at Lloyd's marketplace27:22 Ping An and global insurance employment statistics28:44 AIG Assist platform exceeding submission targets30:50 Two truths and a lie game segment33:42 Closing remarks and next episode previewFact Checks Correction: Sompo Holdings (Japanese insurer), not "Sampo," acquired Aspen Insurance for $3.5 billion with regulatory approval expected H1 2026 Clarification: Munich Re's Ergo primary insurance unit (not entire Munich Re) plans 1,000 position reductions in Germany over five years with AI integration Connect with RiskCellar:Website: https://www.riskcellar.com/Brandon Schuh:Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61552710523314LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brandon-stephen-schuh/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/schuhpapa/Nick Hartmann:LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/nickjhartmann/

Americana, Roots, Folk, Blues and Country music."Sounds of the Seventies Special". All artists are aged over 70.This all male special includes Neil Young , Willie Nelson , Bob Dylan and more.(Ep. 201 is all female artists.)
Some thing(s) have been percolating, in the arena of being annoyed/confused or just disappointed, by many of Mr. Dylan's ways ever since I first heard listened to him as a 12 year-old in the basement of my suburban home. I finally get around -- 59 years later? -- to unpacking them and having a reckoning, of sorts, with Robert Zimmerman/Bob Dylan.
We may choose to say YES to new habits, but saying NO is also a way to take control. Pastor Jody borrows from Bob Dylan and suggests saying NO to things that don't align with our values. It can give us opportunities that lead to greater intention and focus.

Episode 10 opens in the long-running genre they've accidentally perfected — two grown men versus consumer electronics — as Michael explains how he revived his ageing Samsung “smart TV” (now “a bit of a nuff-nuff”) with a cheap HDMI streaming box bought from an Australian online retailer that “rhymes with Hogan”. The thrill here isn't just 4K; it's the moral victory of upgrading the brain while keeping the body. The upgraded TV then becomes a portal to two YouTube documentaries that send the pair (and us) into a warmly nostalgic British lane. One is an ARTE doc on Madness — “Princes of Ska” — which prompts Michael to re-fall in love with a band he rates as not just a ska novelty act, but an elite singles machine whose later pop craftsmanship deserves more credit than the pigeonhole allows. The other find is the real rabbit hole: John Peel's Record Box — an hour built around the late BBC DJ's stash of 142 singles kept separate from his famously vast collection (more than 100,000 records). The documentary hauls the box around to fellow travellers and famous fans — Jack White, Elton John, others — letting them rummage, remember and speculate on why those particular records were kept close. Peel, it turns out, could contain multitudes: Sheena Easton's “9 to 5”, some Status Quo, a heavy White Stripes presence… and a special extra shrine for The Fall, who were apparently too important even for the box. Then Brian takes the wheel for the episode's marquee music moment: Bob Dylan's Blonde on Blonde turns 60, marked with a concert at Tulsa's legendary Cain's Ballroom, presented by the Bob Dylan Center (sitting right next to the Woody Guthrie Center, because Tulsa is quietly running a curriculum). Brian's spoken with the Center's director, Steve Jenkins, who teases an event titled Sooner or Later with a lineup that reads like an alternate-universe festival poster: Naturally, they can't leave the album itself alone. They circle around what makes Blonde on Blonde such a gravitational object: the New York-to-Nashville recording shift, Al Kooper and Robbie Robertson in tow, and the snap-in brilliance of Nashville players like Charlie McCoy and Joe South. Michael calls it the culmination of Dylan's ridiculous 18-month streak from Bringing It All Back Home through Highway 61 Revisited to Blonde on Blonde — productivity that makes modern “content schedules” look like a wellness day. Song picks follow: Michael is unwavering on “Visions of Johanna”; Brian leans toward “Most Likely You Go Your Way (And I'll Go Mine)”, while also marvelling that Dylan had “Positively 4th Street” sitting on the bench, unused, like a spare masterpiece. There are lighter detours too: a surprisingly vivid discussion of a film built around stand-up comedy as therapy (Will Arnett, Laura Dern, John Bishop's life story, Bradley Cooper popping up in a minor role because he can), and then Brian's recommendation of Mackenzie Crook's Small Prophets — a title that briefly defeats Michael because he searches the wrong spelling and finds financial advice instead. Once located, it lands hard: whimsy, sadness, small acts, and a specific episode-four moment that gets Brian teary without him wanting to spoil why. Michael flags the return of Gillian Welch & David Rawlings, apparently digging deep into the back catalogue (with a Guardian five-star review from Toowoomba), plus the pair's Grateful Dead-adjacent moves and upcoming US tribute tour. They also talk up Robert Finley, the 71-year-old, legally blind Louisiana singer with the late-blooming career arc (carpenter most of his life, first records in his 60s, produced by Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys), heading to Australia in May for intimate shows. Finley's story lands like a parable for anyone who's ever thought they missed their chance. (Michael, who's finishing his own record — under the gloriously self-aware pseudonym Imposter Syndrome, album titled Oversharing with Strangers — certainly hears it that way.) Episode 10, then, is classic On The Record: a podcast held together by cable management, cultural memory, and the belief that the best stories are found when you stop pretending you have a plan.

Banned In Sparta”- Collaborative Album with Classical Greek Poets and Modern Folk Singers Helmed by Robin BatteauRobin Batteau's “Banned in Sparta” is a collaborative album of songs based on poems by Classical Greek poets and recorded by a number of friends Tom Paxton, Eric Andersen, Livingston and Kate Taylor, Matt Nakoa, Robin Lane, 2-time Tony winning actor James Naughton and his gifted children Keira and Greg, plus Carolyn Hester. Robin was inspired by an Ancient Greek History class he took when he returned to Harvard during the Pandemic to finish a degree he started in the 1960s. Robin earned the World Record of taking a 50-year break (between 1970 to 2021) to return to Harvard and finish his degree in 2022. “Banned In Sparta” focuses almost entirely on poets from Ancient Greece between 700 and 400 BC. One poet, Gaius Valerius Catullus (84 – 54 BC), as smitten with the ghost of Sappho as Robin or Alcaeus, is from Rome during Julius Caesar's reign, for whom Eric Andersen performs “Cross (of Gold),” an ode to interlaced and conflicted feelings, “Odi et Amo"— I hate and I love.The title “Banned in Sparta” finds its name from Archilochus, the Bob Dylan of the 7th century B.C., a warrior-poet so irreverent he was “Banned in Sparta.” James Naughton sings the song “Archilochus Re-Deemed (I Am a Servant of the Lord God of War).” Kate Taylor performs “Telesilla's On the Wall,” from the female poet Telesilla, who led her fellow women warriors to victory against those same renowned Spartans. “The Greek Lyric poets performed live, and were the stars of their day,” says Robin. “They were singer/songwriters, they played the lyre (hence "Lyric") and danced around the stage like Tom Paxton and Taylor Swift.”Robin, who studied Ancient Greece and Integrative Biology at Harvard, found that most of what was left of the poems were fragments and myth, “So I mosaic-ed songs to reflect their expressions and intentions— who they were, and are to me.” A range of female poets contributed to the lyrical history of Greece including Corrina, whose “In Her Loving Arms” is sung by Carolyn Hester, and Praxilla's “The Most Beautiful Thing in the World,” a hymn to Adonis, sung by Keira Naughton. Sappho's writing inspires “Terra Cotta Heart,” sung by Robin Lane. Livingston Taylor sings “My Sappho, Sweetly Smiling” from the smitten neighbor and rival Alcaeus. The fun and frolicking “Shake your Hair (You Thracian Filly),” sung by Tom Paxton.

They immediately clicked, and joined the rich lineage of Americana artists that stretches back centuries.In their 20s, Gillian Welch and David Rawlings discovered they had something special when they sang together, a sort of eerie emotional resonance that is usually confined to the blood harmonies produced when siblings sing together.Ever since they've been making music together which draws on the bluegrass, country and folk traditions they love.In their historic recording studio in Nashville, Tennessee (which has withstood three tornadoes in the last century), they craft haunting songs about the ugly and beautiful parts of humanity.For Gill and Dave, the DNA of folk music is something we can all contribute to, and which contributes to all of us.Gillian Welch and David Rawlings are currently touring Australia's eastern states. You can find information about where and when they are playing on their website.Their seventh studio album is called Woodland, named after their indestructible studio.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris.

Henry welcomes professional opera singer and cantor, Mezzo Soprano, Amy Maude Helfer, to talk about 1975's Blood On The Tracks song, Lily Rosemary & The Jack Of Hearts.Listen to the song and follow along with the lyrics:https://www.bobdylan.com/songs/lily-rosemary-and-jack-hearts/Lily, Rosemary and the Jack of HeartsWritten by: Bob DylanThe festival was over, the boys were all plannin' for a fallThe cabaret was quiet except for the drillin' in the wallThe curfew had been lifted and the gamblin' wheel shut downAnyone with any sense had already left townHe was standin' in the doorway lookin' like the Jack of HeartsHe moved across the mirrored room, “Set it up for everyone,” he saidThen everyone commenced to do what they were doin' before he turned their headsThen he walked up to a stranger and he asked him with a grin“Could you kindly tell me, friend, what time the show begins?”Then he moved into the corner, face down like the Jack of HeartsBackstage the girls were playin' five-card stud by the stairsLily had two queens, she was hopin' for a third to match her pairOutside the streets were fillin' up, the window was open wideA gentle breeze was blowin', you could feel it from insideLily called another bet and drew up the Jack of HeartsBig Jim was no one's fool, he owned the town's only diamond mineHe made his usual entrance lookin' so dandy and so fineWith his bodyguards and silver cane and every hair in placeHe took whatever he wanted to and he laid it all to wasteBut his bodyguards and silver cane were no match for the Jack of HeartsRosemary combed her hair and took a carriage into townShe slipped in through the side door lookin' like a queen without a crownShe fluttered her false eyelashes and whispered in his ear“Sorry, darlin', that I'm late,” but he didn't seem to hearHe was starin' into space over at the Jack of Hearts“I know I've seen that face before,” Big Jim was thinkin' to himself“Maybe down in Mexico or a picture up on somebody's shelf”But then the crowd began to stamp their feet and the houselights did dimAnd in the darkness of the room there was only Jim and himStarin' at the butterfly who just drew the Jack of HeartsLily was a princess, she was fair-skinned and precious as a childShe did whatever she had to do, she had that certain flash every time she smiledShe'd come away from a broken home, had lots of strange affairsWith men in every walk of life which took her everywhereBut she'd never met anyone quite like the Jack of HeartsThe hangin' judge came in unnoticed and was being wined and dinedThe drillin' in the wall kept up but no one seemed to pay it any mindIt was known all around that Lily had Jim's ringAnd nothing would ever come between Lily and the kingNo, nothin' ever would except maybe the Jack of HeartsRosemary started drinkin' hard and seein' her reflection in the knifeShe was tired of the attention, tired of playin' the role of Big Jim's wifeShe had done a lot of bad things, even once tried suicideWas lookin' to do just one good deed before she diedShe was gazin' to the future, riding on the Jack of HeartsLily washed her face, took her dress off and buried it away“Has your luck run out?” she laughed at him, “Well, I guess you must have known it would somedayBe careful not to touch the wall, there's a brand-new coat of paintI'm glad to see you're still alive, you're lookin' like a saint”Down the hallway footsteps were comin' for the Jack of HeartsThe backstage manager was pacing all around by his chair“There's something funny going on,” he said, “I can just feel it in the air”He went to get the hangin' judge, but the hangin' judge was drunkAs the leading actor hurried by in the costume of a monkThere was no actor anywhere better than the Jack of HeartsLily's arms were locked around the man that she dearly loved to touchShe forgot all about the man she couldn't stand who hounded her so much“I've missed you so,” she said to him, and he felt she was sincereBut just beyond the door he felt jealousy and fearJust another night in the life of the Jack of HeartsNo one knew the circumstance but they say that it happened pretty quickThe door to the dressing room burst open and a cold revolver clickedAnd Big Jim was standin' there, ya couldn't say surprisedRosemary right beside him, steady in her eyesShe was with Big Jim but she was leanin' to the Jack of HeartsTwo doors down the boys finally made it through the wallAnd cleaned out the bank safe, it's said that they got off with quite a haulIn the darkness by the riverbed they waited on the groundFor one more member who had business back in townBut they couldn't go no further without the Jack of HeartsThe next day was hangin' day, the sky was overcast and blackBig Jim lay covered up, killed by a penknife in the backAnd Rosemary on the gallows, she didn't even blinkThe hangin' judge was sober, he hadn't had a drinkThe only person on the scene missin' was the Jack of HeartsThe cabaret was empty now, a sign said, “Closed for repair”Lily had already taken all of the dye out of her hairShe was thinkin' 'bout her father, who she very rarely sawThinkin' 'bout Rosemary and thinkin' about the lawBut most of all she was thinkin' 'bout the Jack of HeartsCopyright © 1974 by Ram's Horn Music; renewed 2002 by Ram's Horn Music Follow @songsofbob, @henrybernstein.bsky.socialIf you would like to support

Narrative verse, or poems that tell a story, has existed for millennia, yet the mode of writing has been neglected by literary publishers, editors, and critics in our own time. This anthology reestablishes the vital relationship of narrative verse to a contemporary readership of poetry. It presents a wide range of specimens from twenty-eight poets who were born since World War II and who published their narrative poems over the past fifty years. Featured poets include Rita Dove, Christian Wiman, Alberto Rios, A. E. Stallings, Bob Dylan, Daniel Mark Epstein, David Mason, Mary Jo Salter, and Dana Gioia, and other exemplary practitioners of the form. In these poems, character, plot, and dialogue turn up as readily as in prose fiction. As John Dryden wrote of Chaucer's works, “Here is God's plenty.” Anecdote, fable, myth, biography, thriller, Western, ghost story―these are among the many different genres of tale collected by poet-critic Sunil Iyengar, who introduces each poet and the anthology itself. Sunil Iyengar is the author of a poetry chapbook, A Call from the Shallows (Finishing Line Press). His poems and/or book reviews have appeared in such periodicals as The New Criterion, Literary Matters, New Verse Review, PN Review, Essays in Criticism, The American Scholar, The Hopkins Review, Los Angeles Review of Books, and The Washington Post. He lives outside Washington, D.C., where he works as an arts research director. Daniel Moran's writing about literature and film can be found on Pages and Frames. He earned his B.A. and M.A. in English from Rutgers University and his Ph.D. in History from Drew University. The author of Creating Flannery O'Connor: Her Critics, Her Publishers, Her Readers, he teaches research and writing and co-hosts the long-running podcast Fifteen-Minute Film Fanatics, found here on the New Books Network.

En la edición de hoy del Radar Empresarial nos centramos en un movimiento que ha causado gran revuelo en la industria musical: Britney Spears ha vendido los derechos de su catálogo musical a la editorial Primary Wave por la impresionante cifra de 200 millones de dólares. Esta empresa, conocida por manejar los legados de figuras icónicas como Bob Marley, Whitney Houston o Prince, se convierte ahora en la administradora de las obras de la cantante. Para Britney, que no publica un álbum desde 2016 ni realiza giras desde 2017, esta transacción representa una inyección económica significativa. La operación la coloca dentro de un grupo selecto de artistas que han decidido vender parte de sus creaciones más valiosas para aprovechar las oportunidades financieras actuales. Artistas de renombre como Bruce Springsteen, Bob Dylan, Shakira o KISS han seguido un camino similar, vendiendo sus catálogos para capitalizar su legado en la era digital. La venta de derechos no solo garantiza un pago inmediato, sino que también permite recibir ingresos cada vez que sus canciones se reproducen o sus álbumes se venden. En mercados como Estados Unidos o Reino Unido, donde muchos de estos músicos residen, los beneficios fiscales son considerables: las ganancias tributan como ingresos de capital, mucho más favorables que los ingresos ordinarios. Esta tendencia ha ganado fuerza gracias al auge del streaming, que ha transformado por completo la manera en que se consume música. Las cifras respaldan este fenómeno. Spotify cerró 2025 con 751 millones de usuarios activos mensuales, mientras que Youtube Music, aunque sus datos están integrados en Youtube Premium, según Music Business contaba con 125 millones de usuarios. Por su parte, Luminate informó que el consumo global de música en streaming superó los 5.1 billones de reproducciones en 2025. Estas cifras reflejan la magnitud del negocio que manejan las plataformas y justifican los pagos millonarios a los artistas por el acceso a sus catálogos. A esto se suman los derechos para adaptaciones cinematográficas. En la actualidad, los biopics son un camino frecuente hacia premios como los Óscar, lo que explica el interés de las productoras en la vida de estrellas como Bruce Springsteen, Robbie Williams o Bob Dylan. Además del atractivo artístico, las películas garantizan que un gran número de fans acuda a las salas, multiplicando los ingresos por la explotación de estas obras. Así, la venta de catálogos se presenta como una estrategia integral para monetizar el talento y el legado de los músicos en múltiples frentes.
Episode 9 is the one where Brian Wise and Michael Mackenzie briefly mistake themselves for an IT helpdesk, a sports panel, and a moral philosophy seminar—before landing, somewhat dazed, back in music. It opens with Wise declaring he “can't stand” the sound of his own voice (a bold confession for a career built on talking), while Mackenzie offers the sort of praise that feels both affectionate and faintly menacing: “the voice of a generation.” Before the audio collapses entirely, the conversation sprints through Wise's great sporting exertion: the exhausting labour of watching sport. There's genuine distress at skier Lindsey Vonn crashing out in 13 seconds, complete with a description of pain you could feel through the screen. From there, the mood whiplashes into the Super Bowl halftime show—Wise calls Bad Bunny's performance the best he's ever seen, even while admitting he couldn't understand a word of it. Mackenzie, meanwhile, is stuck on the visuals of sugar cane cutting and its historical echoes closer to home. Their consensus: if Donald Trump calls it the worst halftime show ever, that's basically a five-star review. Then comes one of Wise's purest modern urges: gadget-lust triggered by sport. Spotting tennis champion Elena Rybakina wearing a watch post-match, he consults “our friend AI” and discovers it's a Vanguard Orb worth a mere $200,000. At which point the show finally pivots to the Grammys—specifically the stuff that doesn't make the glossy broadcast. Wise notes that Fela Kuti received a posthumous Lifetime Achievement Award, nearly 30 years after his death at 58, making him the first African musician to be honoured that way. They sketch Kuti as both musical revolutionary and political force, the Afrobeat originator whose trance-like repetition and complex grooves seeped into Remain in Light and My Life in the Bush of Ghosts. The point: the Grammys have 85 categories, and the good parts are buried where only the determined will look. The episode's left turn into pop comes via Mackenzie's discovery of Charli XCX through the comedy-chat juggernaut Smartless. Wise's response—“Who's he?”—is treated as both generational commentary and perfectly on-brand. The subtext is clear: don't confuse “not my cup of tea” with “not worth paying attention to”. Politics drifts in, as it tends to now, through the question of who's writing protest songs. Wise notes Nils Lofgren's “No Kings, No Hate, No Fear”, nods to Lucinda Williams and Mavis Staples, and longs—audibly—for Bob Dylan to re-enter the ring with something era-defining. Mackenzie is unconvinced, offering the counterpoint that Dylan's signature move in moments like this is often silence. Screen culture gets its usual run: Mackenzie's recommendation of the British robbery thriller Steel mostly lands—until Wise objects to the final 15 minutes for explaining too much, revealing his mother's literary habit of reading the last chapter first. The music talk returns in force with Buddy Guy. Wise has interviewed him (Buddy turns 90 this year and is flagged as possibly touring Australia for the last time), and the hosts linger on the question Wise once had about Buddy's live habit of paying tribute to other blues greats. Finally, Al Green turns up as both salvation and complication. Wise recommends Green's EP To Love Somebody (Bee Gees cover included, plus “Perfect Day” featuring RAYE and a take on R.E.M.'s “Everybody Hurts”), while Mackenzie raises the perennial problem: applauding the artistry while not airbrushing the artist. Episode 9's through-line, then, isn't sport or even the Grammys. It's the way culture arrives in the room: messy, overlapping, sometimes off-mic, and always demanding you listen harder than the algorithm wants you to.

Odetta was one of the defining voices of American folk music. Though she had been trained in classical music, she was drawn to spirituals, work songs, traditional ballads, and blues. These songs told the stories of true life - of struggle and of those that overcame oppression. Odetta used her theater training and deep resonant voice to bring these messages to life. Her work inspired later artists like Bob Dylan and Joan Baez, served as a soundtrack for the social reforms of the 1960s, and led to her honorary title as "The Voice of the Civil Rights Movement."

Madlik Podcast – Torah Thoughts on Judaism From a Post-Orthodox Jew
The Torah doesn't celebrate freedom. It teaches dependence. Parashat Mishpatim opens with a shock: the Torah's great civil code begins with laws of slavery—spoken to a nation freshly freed from slavery. In this episode of Madlik Disruptive Torah, Geoffrey Stern and Rabbi Adam Mintz ask why the Torah doesn't give an "Emancipation Proclamation," and what freedom even means in a world built on mutual dependence. From Thoreau's Walden myth to Bob Dylan's "You've got to serve somebody," and Yeshayahu Leibowitz's insistence that the Exodus is about serving God, we explore a radical reframing: freedom in the Torah isn't the absence of dependence—it's learning how to depend justly. Key Takeaways Freedom in the Torah is not independence. Mishpatim isn't about preserving slavery — it's about dismantling it. The Torah meets society where it is — and pushes it forward.

¿Sigue teniendo la música un poder de concienciación? Invertimos nuestro tiempo de radio en una figura que se ha convertido en fenómeno de internet. Jesse Welles, de 33 años, llevaba más de una década dedicado a la música con diferentes proyectos. Pero fue en 2024 cuando, con una propuesta de folk rock y canción propuesta, comenzó a hacerse viral. Procedente de una pequeña población de Arkansas, con melena desaliñada y voz rasposa, este trovador y su guitarra le cantan a las noticias de actualidad, abordando temas como el conflicto de Gaza, los abusos de poder del ICE, la problemática del fentanilo o el asesinado de un director ejecutivo de una compañía de seguros sanitarios.Desde las redes ha saltado a grandes escenarios, a programas televisivos, a conseguir cuatro nominaciones en los Grammy o a que Joan Baez colabore en uno de los 5 álbumes que ha lanzado en menos de dos años. Su estilo bebe sin tapujos de gigantes como Bob Dylan, Phil Ochs o John Prine, pasando por Neil Young, Tom Petty o John Fogerty. El tiempo dirá hasta dónde puede llegar su música.Playlist;JESSE WELLES “The poor”JESSE WELLES “War isn’t murder”JESSE WELLES “United health”JESSE WELLES “Join ICE”JESSE WELLES feat JOAN BAEZ “No kings”JESSE WELLES “War is a God”JESSE WELLES “Horses”JESSE WELLES “It don’t come easy”JESSE WELLES “Anything but me”JESSE WELLES “Certain”JESSE WELLES “Whistle boeing”JESSE WELLES “Bugs”JESSE WELLES “Life is good”JESSE WELLES “That can’t be right”JESSE WELLES “Red”Escuchar audio

Send us a textThis week on Hoagie Time, the guys bounce from thrift-store fashion and dog shows to music legends, career pivots, and forgotten creative eras. Things kick off with a shoutout to local vintage culture before taking a sharp left into the Westminster Dog Show, where a surprising name pops up: Sixers star Tyrese Maxey. Yes — that Tyrese Maxey. Dog scene, confirmed.From there, the conversation stretches into music history and creative “windows,” breaking down why it's pointless to judge artists outside the era they were in. Bob Dylan, Dave Matthews, and the rise-and-fall (and rise again) of live bands all get the Hoagie Time treatment.Heif Dog reflects on stepping into a new phase of adulthood — including landing a job, navigating real commutes, and officially becoming “laptop guy” — while Mike revisits peak Dave Matthews fandom, tape trading, and the obsessive joy of live recordings before the internet ruined everything.The episode winds through lost four-track recordings, forgotten gigs, and the realization that maybe nobody ever really quits music — they just pause it for a while.Support the showGet your Gear here: htpodcast.myshopify.com
I grew up in a musical home, sort of. Neither of my parents played any instruments, but music was quite important to them. This came out primarily in their love of hymns and gospel songs. They also had what was in those days called a HiFI, and the playing of records was common—gospel, hymns, Gilbert & Sullivan, and folk songs. No, no, not Bob Dylan . . . more like Stephen Foster....I had a few short stints in some choirs—one at church, and the other one with my public school. I enjoyed it, but nothing earth-shaking For more from Doug, subscribe to Canon+: https://canonplus.com/
