Robert meets legendary musician Johnny Marr to celebrate the launch day of his brand new album The Age Of Everything, out today!!!Johnny Marr is one of the most creative, singular and influential guitar players in the history of pop music. He created a shimmering sonic framework for 1980s indie in his visionary work in The Smiths that continues to be foundational and endlessly emulated to this day.He's been a member of The The, teamed up with New Order's Bernard Sumner to form the electronic pop outfit, Electronic, and has also had stints in bands such as Modest Mouse, The Pretenders, The Cribs as well as contributing guitar for Pet Shop Boys. But despite a lifetime of collaborations, Marr is in something of a new chapter of his career as a solo artist. In the last 13 years he has released five albums, with the latest undoubtedly his best yet: The Age of Everything.The Age Of Everything is Johnny Marr's fifth full length studio record. 10 new songs that he describes as the most cathartic songwriting of his career. Written in London, developed live on the road across the East Coast of North America and recorded in Manchester, The Age Of Everything captures the energy and tensions of the city. Sharp, fast and dynamic, filled with ideas and possibilities.Introducing the album, Johnny Marr said: “This is the record that's been the most cathartic. The title came to me early in the process and became an inescapable idea.It seemed to sum up the way I think a lot of people are feeling. It's all encompassing, but it's not necessarily a negative statement. There's a sense of overwhelm in the culture brought about by technology, but looking at it with a different light, there could also be a sense of possibility.”It is the unique dialogue that exists between Johnny Marr and his audience that has turbo-charged the sound of The Age Of Everything. Whilst touring the East Coast of North America in late 2025, more than half of the set consisted of brand new and unheard music. This research and development in the field brought a new energy to the songs, something inspired by what Johnny describes as a preoccupation with perception. How we perceive things as we move through life. Considering the possibility of everything: good and bad. Choosing the promise of the future, with defiance and resistance.Few artists remain as relentlessly creative as Johnny Marr. Since launching his solo career he has scored five UK Top 10 albums, released a Sunday Times bestselling autobiography Set The Boy Free, recorded the James Bond theme for No Time To Die with Billie Eilish, received the Ivor Novello Inspiration Award, an Academy Award nomination for his work with Hans Zimmer on Inception, NME's Godlike Genius honour, and played sold-out tours and major festivals across the world. The years that have elapsed since the release of 2022's Fever Dreams Pts 1-4 album signalled a new era, bringing the career-spanning collection Spirit Power: The Best Of Johnny Marr, the acclaimed photobook Marr's Guitars, full orchestral concert A Night With The Johnny Marr Orchestra, the Look Out Live! album, as well as writing and recording with Gorillaz, Franz Ferdinand, Noel Gallagher's High Flying Birds and performing on the HELP(2) album with Grian Chatten (Fontaines DC) and Kae Tempest - the latest in a long line of exciting and unexpected collaborations.Listen to The Age Of Everything here. The new album is available on CD, black vinyl and limited edition red vinyl.Follow @JohnnyMarrGram Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

What's wrong with us? Our nation's moral compass, I mean.I don't like being a downer, just focusing on wrongs, but some wrongs stand out as morally abominable, such as this one. It's about hundreds of thousands of our low-income elders who, toward the end of life (when frail and most vulnerable) find themselves cast into a part of the Medicaid system that has been deliberately structured by Congress to subject them to needless deprivations and daily indignities.These are our loved ones with serious health problems who need long term care in nursing homes, and two-thirds of them rely on Medicaid to cover their costs. To get this benefit, they surrender all of their income, which goes to defray their nursing home expenses. Of course, for a decent existence beyond mere survival, we all rely on a few little things that are basic to our humanity. So, Medicaid authorizes each state to set a monthly “personal needs allowance,” so their elderly patients can cover hygiene and grooming products, a book or CD, a small gift for grandchildren, a chocolate bar, etc.Good! But then Mr. Mingy walked in. In 1987, Congress set the minimum for this allowance at a meager $30 a month – under $8 a week! Congress has not raised it in the decades since, and most states still provide only a pittance, despite inflation and monopoly price gouging on practically everything. So, our state and national “leaders” (who freely dole out massive corporate subsidies and tax giveaways to billionaires) are leaving ill seniors with so little spending money that they must ration their toothpaste and scrimp pennies to buy a rare treat from the vending machine.I know this is small in the global scale of human indignities, but that makes it an even bigger moral failure for our society. It would take so little to do so much for so many.Do something!* There are 2 bills sitting in the Energy and Commerce committee in Congress right now: H.R.5685, sponsored by Rep Gwen Moore, and H.R.7778, sponsored by Rep. Suhas Subramanyam.

"Big Bang" was once a term of derision for a model of the origin of the universe. Then it rose to general acceptance. And now that the James Webb Space Telescope has shown us so much more about the cosmos, the Big Bang seems to be fizzling out. What if we didn't have to guess? What if we could hear what happened, and how this all came to be, from Someone who was there? We have that eyewitness report in Genesis. Here's Jim to kick off our new series, Firm Foundations.

Send us Fan MailPhoenix, Arizona-based alternative metal collective MEDIA unveils their simply astonishing new video for “Synapse,” which took nearly three years to film and complete. MEDIA was founded by Billy Tegethoff (guitar, bass, drums, synth) and Richard Wnuk (drums, synth). Following lineup shifts over the years, the band now includes Dominic Pedretti (bass) and Robbie Foley (guitar). Over several years, MEDIA issued a trilogy of releases under a joined concept of the Sixth Mass-Extinction. Their debut EP Influence (2022) led the way, the “Synapse” single (2023) served as the middle chapter, and the Output EP (2024) closed the concept series, with each part of the trilogy receiving praise from the likes of Revolver, MetalSucks, and many others along the way. In 2025 the band issued Media, a CD containing all three titles in one physical release. However, during this entire process, MEDIA was working on an incredibly ambitious project behind the scenes, which finally arrives with the incredible “Synapse” video. “Synapse” is an experimental psychedelic sci-fi journey through a dimension inhabited by beings systematically working to convert our world into a colorless desert, set to the song of the same title. The song itself is only about five minutes long, but the video took nearly three full years of work to complete. Apart from a few shots, this entire video was done entirely by Tegethoff and Wnuk. With no label or outside money funding the project, the band invested a vast amount of time and money to see this project come to fruition. It required over a dozen remote location shoots. Countless video effects were learned from scratch. Nearly every frame of the video required some element of manual animation, and the band even converted a camera to film infrared footage. Having invested over 3000 miles of driving – much of which was on high clearance 4x4 trails – and more than 1000 hours of editing, “Synapse” was an absolute labor of love getting this video over the finish line. The immense work put into its creation is apparent, and MEDIA now shares it with the world.

What does "killing it" actually look like behind the scenes? Because sometimes it's a huge stage and an incredible opportunity. And sometimes it's a soggy airport sandwich, a missed flight, or admitting that something just isn't working. In this episode, Erin sits down with speaker, author, and emotional intelligence expert Rich Bracken for a chat about the side of success we don't always talk about (or get to hear). They dig into why we're so quick to measure accomplishments but ignore how we actually feel, the power of being honest about failure, and why vulnerability matters more than maintaining the appearance that everything is fine. Rich also shares his "Theory of Why Not," the mindset that has led him to take some pretty wild chances throughout his career, and why meaningful progress usually comes from consistent effort rather than trying to knock it out of the park every single day. Here's what you'll hear: Why your feelings deserve as much attention as your metrics What the polished version of "killing it" leaves out How asking "Why not?" can lead to unexpected opportunities Why small, consistent effort is more powerful than perfection How vulnerability, curiosity, and genuine care make us better leaders Connect with Rich on LinkedIn Learn more at richbracken.com.

Tweetable Comments "The feeling is data, too." "We all want to feel seen and heard and respected, so show that and you'll get it back." "If you put the other person first, everything else unfolds the way it should." "The best leaders I ever worked for or worked with were human beings. They were vulnerable, they were honest, and they cared." Editor's note: This transcript has been edited for clarity and length while preserving the substance and conversational tone of the original discussion. Erin Hatzikostas sits down with speaker, author, coach, and emotional intelligence expert Rich Bracken to talk about what success really looks like behind the scenes. They explore emotional intelligence, vulnerability, failure, leadership, consistent effort, Rich's "Theory of Why Not," and why some of the biggest opportunities in your career can start with simply being willing to take a chance. Success Is More Than a Metric Erin: I want to start by reading something from your book because this took my breath away. You wrote, "The most dangerous blind spot in change management isn't a missed metric. It's individual and group satisfaction. That's the left hook nobody sees coming. We get so obsessed with what we can measure that we stop paying attention to what we can't. The feeling is data, too." You talk about how we want everyone to believe everything is fine. We hit the number. It worked. We never heard no. Admitting that we came up short or something didn't work can feel like weakness, so we skip past it. We're much quicker to share our wins than our failures. And that instinct doesn't just apply to metrics. It applies to how we feel. We hide emotional shortcomings the same way we hide missed targets because vulnerability in either form feels like exposure. Rich: I think we need to chip away at this idea of perfection because, number one, it doesn't exist. Nobody is going to be perfect. Nothing is ever going to be perfect. The more people admit their failures, admit their shortcomings, or admit that something went wrong, the more honest we can be. I lost a contract the other day that was devastating to me. It was going to be huge for me. And the first thing I thought was, "I've got to talk to somebody about the failure." It's one thing to say everything is great and trucking along, but when those left hooks come, sometimes you need somebody to grab you and lift you off the ground. It's tough. Erin: I think this applies to people at every level of their careers. We get asked all these metric-driven questions. How many talks did you do? How much business did you bring in? What did you accomplish? My goal is two or three talks a month. That translates to around 30 talks a year, and I freaking love that. I don't necessarily want 100 talks a year. And when people ask how things are going, in general I'm like, "My life's fucking awesome." Not just because I'm hitting a number. My life in totality is great. We spend so much time talking about how many. Maybe we need to talk more about how it actually feels. What "Killing It" Really Looks Like Erin: Let's talk about "killing it," because when we met, we immediately started laughing about what people think success looks like versus what it actually looks like. What's an example of "killing it" for you? Rich: There are so many. If killing it looks like sorting through which airport sandwich is the least soggy because everything else is closed and I've missed three flights, then yes, I'm killing it. Does killing it look like sitting in front of my computer cursing because I can't find the last version of a presentation I worked on? Is killing it putting your PowerPoint into Google only to have your client download it and suddenly the font looks like Wingdings? That's the part people don't see. I love what I do. I wouldn't trade it for the world. But I think the closest comparison to a professional speaker's life is a touring musician. It's exhausting. You're traveling constantly. You're dealing with airports, weather, schedules, flights, hotels, and all of these things happening around the glamorous part people see. Erin: The facade is cool, though. Rich: Absolutely. And sometimes it really is cool. I'm about to speak in front of nearly 10,000 people. I have custom lighting. I have a walk-up video. There are going to be glow sticks, music, singing, dancing. It's going to look like I'm a rock star. But somebody asked me, "What are you going to do for the rest of the day?" I said, "I'm going back to my room, curling up in a ball, and not talking to anyone." That's what killing it looks like too. I know I'll walk off that stage on cloud nine, but I'll also be completely empty. I'll need to refuel. Erin: I have plenty of those stories too. Killing it was somebody reaching out to ask me to endorse a book, and then realizing they had confused me with the author of a completely different book. Killing it was getting what I thought was fan mail asking for my autograph six months after starting the podcast, then realizing somebody was probably trying to get my signature for fraud. Killing it was putting together footage for my speaker reel and discovering you could see my underwear when I turned around onstage. That's the behind-the-scenes version. Small Steps Can Change Your Entire Life Erin: One of the foundational stories in your life is losing more than 100 pounds. Tell us about that. Rich: I was a rail-thin kid and played sports year-round. Then I was diagnosed with exercise-induced asthma. I'm my parents' only child, so my mom basically said, "Stay inside, eat whatever you want, and play video games." I went from being outside constantly to being inside constantly, and I started putting on weight. By middle school I was the heavier kid, and I got teased quite a bit. Football became a saving grace because being bigger suddenly gave me an identity. I was an offensive lineman. I was the protector. I opened opportunities for the running backs and helped keep my friends safe. I eventually played a year of college football. Then I quit, and that identity disappeared. The eating habits stayed, but the workout habits went away. I got up to about 260 pounds. I fell into this really low self-esteem mindset. I didn't like what I saw in the mirror. I was miserable. Erin: Was there a specific moment that made you decide to change? Rich: It sounds silly, but I got tired of pulling my shirt away from my body. I was constantly adjusting it because I was afraid of my body showing. I was exhausted. I didn't have energy. I was depressed. I didn't want to do anything. I wasn't social. I finally had my diet analyzed, and everything was off the charts. Cholesterol, calories, fat, everything. My health instructor gave me something incredibly simple. He told me to replace certain foods with better options, eliminate fast food and carbonated drinks, and walk one mile a day. That was it. I didn't need to change everything overnight. I didn't need three hours of cardio or two hours in the gym. I just needed to do something small and see progress. Eventually I went from a 40-inch waist to trying on a pair of 34-inch pants in an Old Navy dressing room and screaming because they actually fit. Those moments taught me that I could change something huge by consistently doing small things. It transformed my life because I started to believe I could take on other things too. The Theory of Why Not Erin: That leads really naturally into something you call your "Theory of Why Not." What is it? Rich: I tell people all the time that I have the most ridiculous life résumé of anybody I've ever met. The things I've done, the people I've met, the situations I've put myself in, all of those experiences come back to the theory of why not. Why not give it a shot? Why not me? Why not try it? The worst you're going to hear is no. I don't ever want to die with all these ideas that might have been great, but I never acted on them. So many people are afraid to try because the possibility of failure exists. They don't want to say, "I want to do this thing," because what if it doesn't work? The Theory of Why Not is about getting out of your own head and getting out of your own way. I've been on several game shows. I've also missed several other ones because I took a chance on them and didn't get picked. I've had speaking opportunities, business opportunities, media opportunities, and all kinds of experiences. The ones people see are great. What we don't talk about are the dozens that didn't happen. The dozens of no's. The dozens of, "You're nice, but..." Those are the things we're terrified of. But I can say I've lived a very full life. If I went away tomorrow, I went for it. If you continually talk yourself out of opportunities, dreams, lofty goals, or ridiculous ideas, you'll never know what could have happened. Sometimes you have to ask, "Why not? What's the worst that could happen?" Taking a Chance With a Mix CD Erin: What's an early example of you living this way? Rich: When I was in graduate school, I had the opportunity to study in England. I was also DJing, and one of the top radio stations in the country happened to be about two blocks from where I lived. For those of you under 40, brace yourself. I took my mix CD to the radio station. I basically said, "I've loved the English music scene for years. It's one of the reasons I'm a DJ. I just want to know what you think. Am I any good? How do I stack up?" I told them, "If you hate it and never want to talk to me again, that's fine. At least I took the shot." Three days later, the station's marketing manager called me. She said, "You told me you have half-day Fridays and a rail pass, right?" I said yes. She said, "Great. We've booked you for six opening slots at different clubs around the country, opening for some huge DJs." All because I walked in and handed somebody a CD. I wasn't expecting that. I just wanted feedback. If I had never raised my hand, I never would have known. Some of the coolest things I've ever gotten to do happened because I was willing to take that kind of chance. Opening for Avicii and Going on Game Shows Rich: Another great example was auditioning to open for Avicii when he was one of the biggest DJs in the world. I was competing against people who were DJing regularly. I had a corporate job and was DJing on the side for fun. But I believed in my style. I believed in my energy. I believed I could earn that spot. So I auditioned. I got picked. I ended up opening for Avicii in Kansas City in front of thousands of people. It was phenomenal. That same mindset has led me to game shows, television, speaking, and writing a book. I was on $100,000 Pyramid. My partner was Von Miller, who had just won the Super Bowl and was the Super Bowl MVP. Usher was also there. He was a terrible game show teammate. Erin: Was he? Rich: Terrible. I was also on a reality show on ESPN, and I competed to host another television show. I made it to the final four and didn't get the job. But it was still an incredible experience. My ridiculous dream job is to host The Price Is Right someday. And the funny part is, because of one of the shows I was on, I'm now one degree of separation from that job. That alone is the Theory of Why Not. Erin: You're making me think I need to go on a game show. Rich: Why not? The Biggest Lesson Rich Learned From Being a DJ Erin: You DJed for a long time. Now you speak and coach executives, speakers, and professional athletes. What did being a DJ teach you that translates into what you do now? Rich: Two things. The first is self-awareness and self-confidence. People think DJing is just standing there pushing buttons and playing music, but there's an art to it. You're exposing yourself creatively. And if something goes wrong with the music, sound, or song choice, you can't hide. You're the person standing there controlling everything. Confidence, self-awareness, and believing in what you're creating matter. The second lesson is that it's not about you. One of my favorite pieces of advice is, "You're not more important than coffee." If an event has to choose between having coffee or having a keynote speaker, you're probably gone. They're picking coffee. Erin: They're definitely picking coffee. Rich: But the bigger point is this: whether you're a speaker, leader, salesperson, attorney, professional service provider, or anyone else, if you put the other person first, everything else unfolds the way it should. I've seen speakers go onstage and make the entire thing about themselves, their show, and their ego. It bombs. When somebody gets up there to truly engage the audience, help them, and serve them, people feel it. The same thing happens with DJs. And the same thing happens if you're pitching a client or running a team meeting. That's an audience too. If you show up with confidence in what you're doing, but your number-one priority is helping the people in front of you, that energy speaks for itself. You'll build better relationships and connect with people differently. Every Meeting Is a Stage Erin: That translates directly to people in traditional corporate roles too. You can walk into a board meeting, staff meeting, presentation, or one-on-one and feel that same stage fright. You start believing perfection is the game. But even if you're the person leading the meeting or walking everyone through the PowerPoint, it's not about you. How do you make the other people feel? How do you make sure they're engaged? Rich: Exactly. And it's hard to fake. People need to spend time off the stage thinking about what they do, why they do it, and how they help people. Your "stage" could be a boardroom. It could be a speaker stage. It could be a DJ booth. It could be whatever auditorium your profession puts you in. When you're serving people and helping people, you make them feel good, but you also feel better because there's meaning behind what you're doing. Behind the Successful Face Erin: You've coached CEOs, speakers, professional athletes, and even celebrities. What trips people up behind closed doors that might surprise us? Rich: Deep down, we're all a little insecure. We all second-guess ourselves. We all deal with some level of, "I don't know. I'm not sure. Why me? Can I do this?" People put their successful face on for the world, and we forget they're human. People get hurt. They fail. They get scared. I'll coach somebody who looks incredibly successful from the outside, and then behind the scenes they'll say, "I don't know," or, "I tried this and it didn't work, and it really hurt." I think one of the reasons I connect with people is that I treat everybody like a human being I care about. When you do that, you connect differently. When a relationship is transactional and you're clearly after something, people can smell it like a shark smells blood in the water. Serve people first. Reach out genuinely. Ask questions that show you actually give a damn about who they are as people. We all want to feel seen and heard and respected, so show that and you'll get it back. Consistency Beats Trying to Knock It Out of the Park Erin: You've kept the weight off for 27 years, so obviously consistency has been a huge part of your life. What do people misunderstand about consistent effort? Rich: We have this idea that every time we do something it has to be some knock-it-out-of-the-park experience. That's not accurate. Let's say you want to get back into working out. If you go stretch for three minutes, that's something. If you do a one-minute plank, that's something. If you walk for five minutes, that's success. That is consistency of effort. There are days I feel great. I'm working out, I'm listening to music, and everything clicks. There are other days when the last effing thing I want to do is lift a weight. If I do 10 minutes on one of those days, I can call it a success. At my level of energy and care in that moment, doing something is a win. I don't slay every workout. Sometimes I get up intending to work out and realize I'm not going to do it well. So instead of beating myself up, I shift my mindset and say, "Today I'm going to deal with whatever garbage is holding me back, and tomorrow I'm going to show up better." Erin: I think the other part of consistency is choosing the thing you're actually likely to do. People ask, "Should I ride a bike? Should I run? Should I walk? Should I lift weights?" Pick the thing you're most likely to keep doing. I was just talking to my son, who is trying to grow his speaking platform. He said he needed to figure out the marketing stuff. I gave him a bunch of options and then told him, "You have to pick the thing that actually excites you." All of these things can work, and all of them can fail. Pick the thing you're most likely to consistently do. The same applies to leadership. Leadership can feel like you're supposed to read 72 books and do 80 things every day. What if you picked one thing you were going to consistently do instead? The Best Leaders Are Still Human Rich: As people move up in organizations and take on more responsibility, they often become more visible, more guarded, and more concerned about the impact of their decisions. At the same time, there are so many corporate experts and thought leaders telling people how they're supposed to lead that we start thinking we need to show up like Simon Sinek, Mel Robbins, or somebody else every day. The best leaders I ever worked for or worked with were human beings. They were vulnerable. They were honest. And they cared. I've worked for great bosses, and I've worked for dumpster-fire bosses. The stark difference is that the great ones cared and stayed human. Read the books. Listen to the podcasts. Go to the seminars. But don't lose track of why you're doing what you're doing or what makes it meaningful and fun for you. Erin: I've joked that from a traditional Leadership 101 perspective, I'm probably a B-minus. I'm not a great planner. I might walk into a meeting without an agenda. I don't always package feedback perfectly. But I always felt like authenticity was this trump card. It didn't wipe away every mistake, but if you can set aside your ego, be honest, show humility, and genuinely care about people, that covers a lot. Being Good at the Job Does Not Automatically Make You a Good Leader Rich: One mistake organizations make is assuming, "This person is really good at the thing, so we should make them the leader of the thing." You're a great salesperson, so we make you a regional sales director. You're a great marketer, so we make you the chief marketing officer. That doesn't automatically mean you're going to be a great leader. Sometimes people don't even want the leadership job, but they feel guilty saying no because it comes with more money, credibility, or status. Organizations need to become better at identifying who actually wants to lead and who has the potential to do it well. And once you become a leader, the job changes. If you're a regional director of sales, you aren't primarily selling anymore. You're guiding and coaching other people to become better salespeople. It's literally a people job, not a thing job. I coached somebody once who kept saying, "I don't understand why they don't do this. I don't understand why they complain about that." And I said, "Ask them." Ask them why they're not motivated. Ask them what they need. You're their coach. The coach of a football team isn't running onto the field and playing with the seventh graders. The coach prepares them to play. That's what leaders do. It's about serving your people. And you have to remember that what worked for you may not work for everybody. Different people require different communication, different motivation, and different support. As a leader, you need to ask questions, become more socially aware, develop trust, and understand the nuance of each person on your team. When "Why Not?" Means Trusting Your Judgment Erin: We ask every guest about their "Buck That" moment. What's a time when you went against what was expected, felt a little uncomfortable doing it, but good things happened because of it? Rich: I was working at a law firm doing business development, and one of the attorneys and I identified a huge business opportunity. It was going to require some extra work and a little thinking outside the box, but we mapped out a path to make it happen. I went to my CMO and explained the idea. She said, "Absolutely not." She didn't ask a single question. Not, "Tell me more." Not, "What could we gain?" Not, "What would this take?" Just no. I was pissed because I felt like the idea had been dismissed without any curiosity. Now, I'll do crazy things and take chances, but I'm also calculated about it. I'm not reckless. I had really thought through this opportunity, and I believed it would work. So I did it anyway. I recruited a few people who were willing to help me after hours. We got the project finished ahead of the deadline and launched it. Eventually my CMO appeared in my doorway holding a printed copy of the email announcing the initiative I had been told not to do. She said, "What is this?" On the outside I was very apologetic. On the inside, I was thinking, "Ha." She was absolutely livid. But two things happened. The attorney I partnered with ended up getting national recognition in The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg and became a recognized expert on the subject. Later, after I had left the firm, he called me. He had just signed the biggest deal in the firm's history. He told me, "I just want to thank you for sticking your neck out. You believed in me and you believed in this project." I'll never forget that. I'm not advocating complete rebellion. But sometimes you have to trust yourself enough to recognize that you've thought something through and you know what the right move is. Sometimes you need to do what's right for the business, but do it your way. Make Work Suck Less by Finding a Way to Have Fun Erin: Last question. What's one thing people can do to make work suck less? Rich: Find a way to have fun. Even if you're sitting there thinking, "I'm an accountant. How?" One of the things I do with audiences is build playlists together. Everybody scans a QR code and submits a song that makes them happy. The playlists are hilarious and amazing. Then I send the playlist back to the company and tell everybody to keep the link. When you need five minutes of happiness, five minutes of energy, or five minutes to shift your mood, go to the playlist and pick a song. It may not even be your song, but somebody you work with chose it because it makes them happy. Try something new. Take five minutes. Have the ridiculous singing and dancing party in your office or cubicle if that's what makes the day better. There is always a way to have more fun. You just have to figure out what that looks like for you. Erin: Why not? Rich: Exactly. Why not?

"Big Bang" was once a term of derision for a model of the origin of the universe. Then it rose to general acceptance. And now that the James Webb Space Telescope has shown us so much more about the cosmos, the Big Bang seems to be fizzling out. What if we didn't have to guess? What if we could hear what happened, and how this all came to be, from Someone who was there? We have that eyewitness report in Genesis. Here's Jim to kick off our new series, Firm Foundations.

Agile coach jobs aren’t coming back, and most of us already know it. What we haven’t done is accept what that means. Agile coach jobs went away (so we hid from the change) The irony of this profession is that agile is an approach to change, and we practitioners are as frightened of change as anyone we’ve ever coached. So when the roles went away, a lot of capable people did the predictable thing. They shrunk themselves. Back to project manager, program manager, product owner. Work that uses a fraction of what they know. I understand it. There’s a job description for those. But there isn’t yet one for what we actually do. No new job title is coming to replace agile coach jobs Don’t wait for it. If it does show up, it will have been written by someone who had nothing to do with the rebellion. That’s the part people forget. Agile was a rebellion, and rebellions are loosely organized and risky. With the economy and the geopolitics doing what they’re doing, nobody is volunteering for more risk. So nobody is going to stand up, announce the new category, and hand you a good rate for it. There are two kinds of change One is patching the bridge. I drove past a thirty-year-old overpass recently and you can see the repairs in the concrete. We know this kind well. Inspect, improve, carry the learning forward. The other is the forest fire. The forest gets too old, too dry, too crowded, too untenable, and the whole thing has to go. Some species of tree only drop their seeds in a fire. Vinyl got better for forty years. Better pressings, better styluses, better amplifiers. Then the CD arrived and none of it mattered. We had the BlackBerry with half its face given over to a keyboard. Then the iPhone. Show me a BlackBerry now. Notice what didn’t change. People still wanted to listen to music. People still wanted to reach each other. The problem stayed exactly where it was, and the thing built to solve it burned. Delivery will always have problems. What we built to solve them is what has to go. What to do instead of chasing agile coach jobs Stop waiting and start listening. Once or twice a year I export my LinkedIn connections, go through the spreadsheet, and highlight the people I enjoyed working with. Then I reach out. How are you doing, what have you been up to, here’s what I’m seeing, what are you seeing? They’ve changed jobs since we last spoke. Their companies have changed strategy. They know things. Have ten of those conversations in the next two weeks and patterns start showing up. Check them against Reddit, Quora, Substack, wherever people complain out loud. When you stop asking someone to hand you a solution, they describe their pain instead. Then propose something. This is where the iteration belongs, and it’s the part people get backwards. You don’t iterate on the bridge. You iterate on the offer. Maybe the price is wrong. Maybe a CEO doesn’t care and a VP does. Tweak it and go again. Eventually somebody says let’s get together and talk about what you’ve been up to. That’s your signal. This takes real courage and it isn’t for everybody. But the rate on an agile coach job is a cap, and you won’t raise it using that title. Forge Genesis is where I teach this.

Track 1 of the Chant II CD: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0VAe5fYJzAoBack in the 1990s, a series of Gregorian chants CDs were produced and they became very popular. They were recordings made by Benedictine monks in Spain.The first of these CDs sold two million copies in the USA and two million copies in the rest of the world. When people were trying to explain why a Gregorian Chant CD could be so popular, they said that people were using it as an antidote to the stress of the modern world.After the first CD did so well, they produced a second CD and made the first track the monks singing the beautiful Introit of today's Mass, which starts off with the words: “Give peace, O Lord, to those who have hoped in You”.The world was looking for some peace of soul and turned to Gregorian Chant. They can find it not only through Gregorian Chant, but also through the TLM.There is a certain point of the Mass when the Mass becomes focused on asking God for peace. This is right after the Pater Noster. In the prayer which immediately follows it, the Libera Nos, the priest says to God, “mercifully grant peace in our days, that through the assistance of Thy mercy we may be always free from sin, and secure from all disturbance.”Then the priest prays the Agnus Dei. As you know the last petition is “Lamb of God, who takes away the sins of the world, grant us peace”.Then, the priest places his hands on the altar, and says to Our Lord, “Lord Jesus Christ, who said to Thine Apostles: Peace I leave you, My peace I give you: regard not my sins, but the faith of Thy Church; and vouchsafe to grant her that peace and unity which is agreeable to Thy will.”This peace that Our Lord gives is the peace that the people of the world were looking for when they were listening to Gregorian Chant in the 1990s. At the Last Supper, Our Lord explains that the peace He gives us is not like the peace that the world gives.For there are, in fact, two types of peace: the peace of the world and the peace of Our Lord. Because we use the same word for these two types of peace, we can easily become confused by them.We can meet people in the world who are living in a state of sin, or Catholics who have left the faith, or who have stopped practicing traditional Catholicism. And they say to us, “I am at peace with my decision”. And we may be tempted to think that people in the world are able to live in a state of sin and be at peace, when in fact they only have the peace of the world.For this reason, I think that it would be helpful for us to think about three differences between the peace that the world gives and the peace that Our Lord gives.The main difference between the two is that the peace of Our Lord is “tranquility in order” and the peace of the world is “numbness in disorder”. The peace of Our Lord is in the soul and is obtained by mortifying or putting to death the body. The peace of the world is in the body and is obtained by putting to death the soul.

What does "killing it" actually look like behind the scenes? Because sometimes it's a huge stage and an incredible opportunity. And sometimes it's a soggy airport sandwich, a missed flight, or admitting that something just isn't working. In this episode, Erin sits down with speaker, author, and emotional intelligence expert Rich Bracken for a chat about the side of success we don't always talk about (or get to hear). They dig into why we're so quick to measure accomplishments but ignore how we actually feel, the power of being honest about failure, and why vulnerability matters more than maintaining the appearance that everything is fine. Rich also shares his "Theory of Why Not," the mindset that has led him to take some pretty wild chances throughout his career, and why meaningful progress usually comes from consistent effort rather than trying to knock it out of the park every single day. Here's what you'll hear: Why your feelings deserve as much attention as your metrics What the polished version of "killing it" leaves out How asking "Why not?" can lead to unexpected opportunities Why small, consistent effort is more powerful than perfection How vulnerability, curiosity, and genuine care make us better leaders Connect with Rich on LinkedIn Learn more at richbracken.com.

Tweetable Comments "The feeling is data, too." "We all want to feel seen and heard and respected, so show that and you'll get it back." "If you put the other person first, everything else unfolds the way it should." "The best leaders I ever worked for or worked with were human beings. They were vulnerable, they were honest, and they cared." Editor's note: This transcript has been edited for clarity and length while preserving the substance and conversational tone of the original discussion. Erin Hatzikostas sits down with speaker, author, coach, and emotional intelligence expert Rich Bracken to talk about what success really looks like behind the scenes. They explore emotional intelligence, vulnerability, failure, leadership, consistent effort, Rich's "Theory of Why Not," and why some of the biggest opportunities in your career can start with simply being willing to take a chance. Success Is More Than a Metric Erin: I want to start by reading something from your book because this took my breath away. You wrote, "The most dangerous blind spot in change management isn't a missed metric. It's individual and group satisfaction. That's the left hook nobody sees coming. We get so obsessed with what we can measure that we stop paying attention to what we can't. The feeling is data, too." You talk about how we want everyone to believe everything is fine. We hit the number. It worked. We never heard no. Admitting that we came up short or something didn't work can feel like weakness, so we skip past it. We're much quicker to share our wins than our failures. And that instinct doesn't just apply to metrics. It applies to how we feel. We hide emotional shortcomings the same way we hide missed targets because vulnerability in either form feels like exposure. Rich: I think we need to chip away at this idea of perfection because, number one, it doesn't exist. Nobody is going to be perfect. Nothing is ever going to be perfect. The more people admit their failures, admit their shortcomings, or admit that something went wrong, the more honest we can be. I lost a contract the other day that was devastating to me. It was going to be huge for me. And the first thing I thought was, "I've got to talk to somebody about the failure." It's one thing to say everything is great and trucking along, but when those left hooks come, sometimes you need somebody to grab you and lift you off the ground. It's tough. Erin: I think this applies to people at every level of their careers. We get asked all these metric-driven questions. How many talks did you do? How much business did you bring in? What did you accomplish? My goal is two or three talks a month. That translates to around 30 talks a year, and I freaking love that. I don't necessarily want 100 talks a year. And when people ask how things are going, in general I'm like, "My life's fucking awesome." Not just because I'm hitting a number. My life in totality is great. We spend so much time talking about how many. Maybe we need to talk more about how it actually feels. What "Killing It" Really Looks Like Erin: Let's talk about "killing it," because when we met, we immediately started laughing about what people think success looks like versus what it actually looks like. What's an example of "killing it" for you? Rich: There are so many. If killing it looks like sorting through which airport sandwich is the least soggy because everything else is closed and I've missed three flights, then yes, I'm killing it. Does killing it look like sitting in front of my computer cursing because I can't find the last version of a presentation I worked on? Is killing it putting your PowerPoint into Google only to have your client download it and suddenly the font looks like Wingdings? That's the part people don't see. I love what I do. I wouldn't trade it for the world. But I think the closest comparison to a professional speaker's life is a touring musician. It's exhausting. You're traveling constantly. You're dealing with airports, weather, schedules, flights, hotels, and all of these things happening around the glamorous part people see. Erin: The facade is cool, though. Rich: Absolutely. And sometimes it really is cool. I'm about to speak in front of nearly 10,000 people. I have custom lighting. I have a walk-up video. There are going to be glow sticks, music, singing, dancing. It's going to look like I'm a rock star. But somebody asked me, "What are you going to do for the rest of the day?" I said, "I'm going back to my room, curling up in a ball, and not talking to anyone." That's what killing it looks like too. I know I'll walk off that stage on cloud nine, but I'll also be completely empty. I'll need to refuel. Erin: I have plenty of those stories too. Killing it was somebody reaching out to ask me to endorse a book, and then realizing they had confused me with the author of a completely different book. Killing it was getting what I thought was fan mail asking for my autograph six months after starting the podcast, then realizing somebody was probably trying to get my signature for fraud. Killing it was putting together footage for my speaker reel and discovering you could see my underwear when I turned around onstage. That's the behind-the-scenes version. Small Steps Can Change Your Entire Life Erin: One of the foundational stories in your life is losing more than 100 pounds. Tell us about that. Rich: I was a rail-thin kid and played sports year-round. Then I was diagnosed with exercise-induced asthma. I'm my parents' only child, so my mom basically said, "Stay inside, eat whatever you want, and play video games." I went from being outside constantly to being inside constantly, and I started putting on weight. By middle school I was the heavier kid, and I got teased quite a bit. Football became a saving grace because being bigger suddenly gave me an identity. I was an offensive lineman. I was the protector. I opened opportunities for the running backs and helped keep my friends safe. I eventually played a year of college football. Then I quit, and that identity disappeared. The eating habits stayed, but the workout habits went away. I got up to about 260 pounds. I fell into this really low self-esteem mindset. I didn't like what I saw in the mirror. I was miserable. Erin: Was there a specific moment that made you decide to change? Rich: It sounds silly, but I got tired of pulling my shirt away from my body. I was constantly adjusting it because I was afraid of my body showing. I was exhausted. I didn't have energy. I was depressed. I didn't want to do anything. I wasn't social. I finally had my diet analyzed, and everything was off the charts. Cholesterol, calories, fat, everything. My health instructor gave me something incredibly simple. He told me to replace certain foods with better options, eliminate fast food and carbonated drinks, and walk one mile a day. That was it. I didn't need to change everything overnight. I didn't need three hours of cardio or two hours in the gym. I just needed to do something small and see progress. Eventually I went from a 40-inch waist to trying on a pair of 34-inch pants in an Old Navy dressing room and screaming because they actually fit. Those moments taught me that I could change something huge by consistently doing small things. It transformed my life because I started to believe I could take on other things too. The Theory of Why Not Erin: That leads really naturally into something you call your "Theory of Why Not." What is it? Rich: I tell people all the time that I have the most ridiculous life résumé of anybody I've ever met. The things I've done, the people I've met, the situations I've put myself in, all of those experiences come back to the theory of why not. Why not give it a shot? Why not me? Why not try it? The worst you're going to hear is no. I don't ever want to die with all these ideas that might have been great, but I never acted on them. So many people are afraid to try because the possibility of failure exists. They don't want to say, "I want to do this thing," because what if it doesn't work? The Theory of Why Not is about getting out of your own head and getting out of your own way. I've been on several game shows. I've also missed several other ones because I took a chance on them and didn't get picked. I've had speaking opportunities, business opportunities, media opportunities, and all kinds of experiences. The ones people see are great. What we don't talk about are the dozens that didn't happen. The dozens of no's. The dozens of, "You're nice, but..." Those are the things we're terrified of. But I can say I've lived a very full life. If I went away tomorrow, I went for it. If you continually talk yourself out of opportunities, dreams, lofty goals, or ridiculous ideas, you'll never know what could have happened. Sometimes you have to ask, "Why not? What's the worst that could happen?" Taking a Chance With a Mix CD Erin: What's an early example of you living this way? Rich: When I was in graduate school, I had the opportunity to study in England. I was also DJing, and one of the top radio stations in the country happened to be about two blocks from where I lived. For those of you under 40, brace yourself. I took my mix CD to the radio station. I basically said, "I've loved the English music scene for years. It's one of the reasons I'm a DJ. I just want to know what you think. Am I any good? How do I stack up?" I told them, "If you hate it and never want to talk to me again, that's fine. At least I took the shot." Three days later, the station's marketing manager called me. She said, "You told me you have half-day Fridays and a rail pass, right?" I said yes. She said, "Great. We've booked you for six opening slots at different clubs around the country, opening for some huge DJs." All because I walked in and handed somebody a CD. I wasn't expecting that. I just wanted feedback. If I had never raised my hand, I never would have known. Some of the coolest things I've ever gotten to do happened because I was willing to take that kind of chance. Opening for Avicii and Going on Game Shows Rich: Another great example was auditioning to open for Avicii when he was one of the biggest DJs in the world. I was competing against people who were DJing regularly. I had a corporate job and was DJing on the side for fun. But I believed in my style. I believed in my energy. I believed I could earn that spot. So I auditioned. I got picked. I ended up opening for Avicii in Kansas City in front of thousands of people. It was phenomenal. That same mindset has led me to game shows, television, speaking, and writing a book. I was on $100,000 Pyramid. My partner was Von Miller, who had just won the Super Bowl and was the Super Bowl MVP. Usher was also there. He was a terrible game show teammate. Erin: Was he? Rich: Terrible. I was also on a reality show on ESPN, and I competed to host another television show. I made it to the final four and didn't get the job. But it was still an incredible experience. My ridiculous dream job is to host The Price Is Right someday. And the funny part is, because of one of the shows I was on, I'm now one degree of separation from that job. That alone is the Theory of Why Not. Erin: You're making me think I need to go on a game show. Rich: Why not? The Biggest Lesson Rich Learned From Being a DJ Erin: You DJed for a long time. Now you speak and coach executives, speakers, and professional athletes. What did being a DJ teach you that translates into what you do now? Rich: Two things. The first is self-awareness and self-confidence. People think DJing is just standing there pushing buttons and playing music, but there's an art to it. You're exposing yourself creatively. And if something goes wrong with the music, sound, or song choice, you can't hide. You're the person standing there controlling everything. Confidence, self-awareness, and believing in what you're creating matter. The second lesson is that it's not about you. One of my favorite pieces of advice is, "You're not more important than coffee." If an event has to choose between having coffee or having a keynote speaker, you're probably gone. They're picking coffee. Erin: They're definitely picking coffee. Rich: But the bigger point is this: whether you're a speaker, leader, salesperson, attorney, professional service provider, or anyone else, if you put the other person first, everything else unfolds the way it should. I've seen speakers go onstage and make the entire thing about themselves, their show, and their ego. It bombs. When somebody gets up there to truly engage the audience, help them, and serve them, people feel it. The same thing happens with DJs. And the same thing happens if you're pitching a client or running a team meeting. That's an audience too. If you show up with confidence in what you're doing, but your number-one priority is helping the people in front of you, that energy speaks for itself. You'll build better relationships and connect with people differently. Every Meeting Is a Stage Erin: That translates directly to people in traditional corporate roles too. You can walk into a board meeting, staff meeting, presentation, or one-on-one and feel that same stage fright. You start believing perfection is the game. But even if you're the person leading the meeting or walking everyone through the PowerPoint, it's not about you. How do you make the other people feel? How do you make sure they're engaged? Rich: Exactly. And it's hard to fake. People need to spend time off the stage thinking about what they do, why they do it, and how they help people. Your "stage" could be a boardroom. It could be a speaker stage. It could be a DJ booth. It could be whatever auditorium your profession puts you in. When you're serving people and helping people, you make them feel good, but you also feel better because there's meaning behind what you're doing. Behind the Successful Face Erin: You've coached CEOs, speakers, professional athletes, and even celebrities. What trips people up behind closed doors that might surprise us? Rich: Deep down, we're all a little insecure. We all second-guess ourselves. We all deal with some level of, "I don't know. I'm not sure. Why me? Can I do this?" People put their successful face on for the world, and we forget they're human. People get hurt. They fail. They get scared. I'll coach somebody who looks incredibly successful from the outside, and then behind the scenes they'll say, "I don't know," or, "I tried this and it didn't work, and it really hurt." I think one of the reasons I connect with people is that I treat everybody like a human being I care about. When you do that, you connect differently. When a relationship is transactional and you're clearly after something, people can smell it like a shark smells blood in the water. Serve people first. Reach out genuinely. Ask questions that show you actually give a damn about who they are as people. We all want to feel seen and heard and respected, so show that and you'll get it back. Consistency Beats Trying to Knock It Out of the Park Erin: You've kept the weight off for 27 years, so obviously consistency has been a huge part of your life. What do people misunderstand about consistent effort? Rich: We have this idea that every time we do something it has to be some knock-it-out-of-the-park experience. That's not accurate. Let's say you want to get back into working out. If you go stretch for three minutes, that's something. If you do a one-minute plank, that's something. If you walk for five minutes, that's success. That is consistency of effort. There are days I feel great. I'm working out, I'm listening to music, and everything clicks. There are other days when the last effing thing I want to do is lift a weight. If I do 10 minutes on one of those days, I can call it a success. At my level of energy and care in that moment, doing something is a win. I don't slay every workout. Sometimes I get up intending to work out and realize I'm not going to do it well. So instead of beating myself up, I shift my mindset and say, "Today I'm going to deal with whatever garbage is holding me back, and tomorrow I'm going to show up better." Erin: I think the other part of consistency is choosing the thing you're actually likely to do. People ask, "Should I ride a bike? Should I run? Should I walk? Should I lift weights?" Pick the thing you're most likely to keep doing. I was just talking to my son, who is trying to grow his speaking platform. He said he needed to figure out the marketing stuff. I gave him a bunch of options and then told him, "You have to pick the thing that actually excites you." All of these things can work, and all of them can fail. Pick the thing you're most likely to consistently do. The same applies to leadership. Leadership can feel like you're supposed to read 72 books and do 80 things every day. What if you picked one thing you were going to consistently do instead? The Best Leaders Are Still Human Rich: As people move up in organizations and take on more responsibility, they often become more visible, more guarded, and more concerned about the impact of their decisions. At the same time, there are so many corporate experts and thought leaders telling people how they're supposed to lead that we start thinking we need to show up like Simon Sinek, Mel Robbins, or somebody else every day. The best leaders I ever worked for or worked with were human beings. They were vulnerable. They were honest. And they cared. I've worked for great bosses, and I've worked for dumpster-fire bosses. The stark difference is that the great ones cared and stayed human. Read the books. Listen to the podcasts. Go to the seminars. But don't lose track of why you're doing what you're doing or what makes it meaningful and fun for you. Erin: I've joked that from a traditional Leadership 101 perspective, I'm probably a B-minus. I'm not a great planner. I might walk into a meeting without an agenda. I don't always package feedback perfectly. But I always felt like authenticity was this trump card. It didn't wipe away every mistake, but if you can set aside your ego, be honest, show humility, and genuinely care about people, that covers a lot. Being Good at the Job Does Not Automatically Make You a Good Leader Rich: One mistake organizations make is assuming, "This person is really good at the thing, so we should make them the leader of the thing." You're a great salesperson, so we make you a regional sales director. You're a great marketer, so we make you the chief marketing officer. That doesn't automatically mean you're going to be a great leader. Sometimes people don't even want the leadership job, but they feel guilty saying no because it comes with more money, credibility, or status. Organizations need to become better at identifying who actually wants to lead and who has the potential to do it well. And once you become a leader, the job changes. If you're a regional director of sales, you aren't primarily selling anymore. You're guiding and coaching other people to become better salespeople. It's literally a people job, not a thing job. I coached somebody once who kept saying, "I don't understand why they don't do this. I don't understand why they complain about that." And I said, "Ask them." Ask them why they're not motivated. Ask them what they need. You're their coach. The coach of a football team isn't running onto the field and playing with the seventh graders. The coach prepares them to play. That's what leaders do. It's about serving your people. And you have to remember that what worked for you may not work for everybody. Different people require different communication, different motivation, and different support. As a leader, you need to ask questions, become more socially aware, develop trust, and understand the nuance of each person on your team. When "Why Not?" Means Trusting Your Judgment Erin: We ask every guest about their "Buck That" moment. What's a time when you went against what was expected, felt a little uncomfortable doing it, but good things happened because of it? Rich: I was working at a law firm doing business development, and one of the attorneys and I identified a huge business opportunity. It was going to require some extra work and a little thinking outside the box, but we mapped out a path to make it happen. I went to my CMO and explained the idea. She said, "Absolutely not." She didn't ask a single question. Not, "Tell me more." Not, "What could we gain?" Not, "What would this take?" Just no. I was pissed because I felt like the idea had been dismissed without any curiosity. Now, I'll do crazy things and take chances, but I'm also calculated about it. I'm not reckless. I had really thought through this opportunity, and I believed it would work. So I did it anyway. I recruited a few people who were willing to help me after hours. We got the project finished ahead of the deadline and launched it. Eventually my CMO appeared in my doorway holding a printed copy of the email announcing the initiative I had been told not to do. She said, "What is this?" On the outside I was very apologetic. On the inside, I was thinking, "Ha." She was absolutely livid. But two things happened. The attorney I partnered with ended up getting national recognition in The Wall Street Journal and Bloomberg and became a recognized expert on the subject. Later, after I had left the firm, he called me. He had just signed the biggest deal in the firm's history. He told me, "I just want to thank you for sticking your neck out. You believed in me and you believed in this project." I'll never forget that. I'm not advocating complete rebellion. But sometimes you have to trust yourself enough to recognize that you've thought something through and you know what the right move is. Sometimes you need to do what's right for the business, but do it your way. Make Work Suck Less by Finding a Way to Have Fun Erin: Last question. What's one thing people can do to make work suck less? Rich: Find a way to have fun. Even if you're sitting there thinking, "I'm an accountant. How?" One of the things I do with audiences is build playlists together. Everybody scans a QR code and submits a song that makes them happy. The playlists are hilarious and amazing. Then I send the playlist back to the company and tell everybody to keep the link. When you need five minutes of happiness, five minutes of energy, or five minutes to shift your mood, go to the playlist and pick a song. It may not even be your song, but somebody you work with chose it because it makes them happy. Try something new. Take five minutes. Have the ridiculous singing and dancing party in your office or cubicle if that's what makes the day better. There is always a way to have more fun. You just have to figure out what that looks like for you. Erin: Why not? Rich: Exactly. Why not?

A listener once told me they hoped I'd quit teaching altogether. Another told me, in the nicest way possible, that the curmudgeon was showing up a little too early these days. Only one of those helped my show. This month's Question of the Month was all about feedback: what's the most constructive feedback you've ever received, and what's the most destructive? A few listeners sent in their answers, I share mine, and to prove how much feedback matters, I dig up some embarrassing basement recordings from a much younger Dave Jackson. Let's get into it.Why Aren't You Getting Feedback?It honestly boggles my mind how many podcasters never ask for feedback and then wonder why their show isn't growing. Think of it like making someone a sandwich. You can ask, "I've got baloney, smoked turkey, or salami. Which do you want?" and make something they'll actually eat. Or you can hand everyone salami and say "tell your friends," while half of them are quietly thinking, "I hate salami."Ralph Estep Jr.: "Go Hire a Speaking Coach"Ralph, the content creator's accountant, says the best feedback he ever got was to hire a speaking coach. People (me included) told him he sounded robotic on his show, nothing like the Ralph you meet on a Zoom call or in person. He found a coach, and it changed the way he does everything. On the other side, he's had people tell him they hope he gets hit by a bus or struck by lightning over his religious views. He's not taking that advice. His point: when you get feedback, consider who it's coming from and whether it makes sense to act on it.York Campbell: The Name Was the ProblemYork's show used to be called Poetic Earthlings, and people kept assuming it was about poetry. It's actually short sci-fi stories: time travel, alien worlds, hyperdimensional creatures, and a few conspiracy theories. A fellow podcaster suggested Welcome to Earth Stories, and once he made the change, the attention and downloads followed. As York put it, sometimes you fall in love with a clever name because of what it means to you, and never stop to ask whether anyone else will understand it.Timothy Kimo Brien: "You Called My Baby Ugly"Tim submitted his old show, KDOI Podcasting (Kimo's Den of Iniquity), to the Podcast Rodeo Show. I said it sounded like a radio station, and the full name sounded like... something else entirely. Tim was not a happy camper. Later, sitting at a podcast conference and hearing someone talk about making your show's title clear, he asked himself what his show actually does: it's about creating art. Hello, Create Art Podcast. He's gone from roughly 200–300 downloads a month to between 1,000 and 1,500. He says it's not necessarily because of the name change. I say probably. Either way, it helped him focus on what the show is really about.My Best Feedback: The Curmudgeon Is ShowingBefore Podfest even started, my buddy Steve Stewart asked me to lunch and asked if I was open to notes. I grew up professionally with "constant improvement" on the walls of my first job, so of course I was. He told me the curmudgeon was coming out a little quicker than it used to. That was gold, because it was something I could control and fix. And it came from someone whose opinion I value, someone who'll tell me when something's good and when it isn't. Knowledge is only power when you act on it.My First Bad Review (and What Good Feedback Looks Like)In 2010, five years into podcasting, I got my first negative review: basically "not good, not enough thought, it's a commercial for bad services." It knocked me back on my heels, but there was nothing I could fix, because it never said why. (This is why I now say you're not a real podcaster until you get a one-star review.)Compare that to a 2017 review from a listener who wanted to hear the show but said the mix had a hiss or too much treble. That's great feedback. It's specific, and I could have adjusted it (I was using the Electro-Voice RE320 back then and liked my S's and T's crisp). The only problem is he should have sent it to me directly.A few things to keep in mind:The person might be having a bad day. After decades in customer support, I've seen people apologize later once they calmed down.Ask yourself: do they have a point? If so, can you fix it?Make it easy for feedback to reach you. A review isn't a direct line.Save the nice messages. On days you don't feel like recording, they remind you people are listening.Reviews are social proof, but they don't help you get found. Apple has said so.When Feedback Goes Wrong: The Podcast Rodeo ShowIn 2017 I launched the Podcast Rodeo Show, where I'd grab a random podcast and give a real first impression. (Half of YouTube is reaction videos now. I'm taking credit for inventing it. I didn't.)One episode, a host opened by sharing a string of genuinely awful personal experiences, all within the first few minutes, and never said what the show was about, who it was for, or even that it was an interview. My feedback was all logic: what's in it for the listener? As Erik K. Johnson says, nobody gets on a bus if they don't know where it's going. Don't bury the lead. People don't care about you until you give them a reason to care.She emailed and attacked me personally, said I was cruel and should never call myself a teacher. It hit me hard enough that I worried the show was hurting my brand, and it's part of why the show eventually ended. Listening back now, I could have been more compassionate. But when I asked my audience whether they wanted a kinder, gentler version, they very loudly said no. So the show evolved (a little less "listen and react," a little more "what do we want them to learn") and got rebranded, first to Podcast Hot Seat (people said that sounded painful) and now to Fix My Podcast.Scott Orr: How to Take Hard FeedbackNow compare that to Scott Orr, an award-winning journalist and host of Code 3 – The Firefighters Podcast. Before one review, I reached out and said, respectfully, "Scott, you sound like you're drunk." He replied that he didn't have a drinking problem. He has Parkinson's. Instead of getting angry, Scott took the feedback and now opens every episode by saying he won't let Parkinson's stop him.When Scott later came on the Podcast Review Show, Erik K. Johnson pointed out that addressing it up front is disarming. Listeners stop wondering what's going on and focus on what Scott's saying, not how he's saying it. Honest? Yes. Awkward? Yes. Helpful? Absolutely.You Can't See Your Own TyposMy favorite example: I once had a typo in the School of Podcasting's own tagline ("plan, launch, grow, and monetize") and didn't catch it. Sometimes you just don't see it.Young Dave Jackson's Basement TapesAt School of Podcasting we hold listener parties, where members listen to an episode together and give feedback in real time. Some people cringe at the idea. So here's my confession: in my twenties I was basically Ross from Friends, recording angry '80s rock in my basement. Guitar, bass, keys, drum machine, and, unfortunately, all the vocals. I'd hit play and leave the room while friends listened.Their feedback? "Who's playing the piano?" Me. "Who's on bass?" Me. Nobody said a word about the music. Just recently, my brother found that CD and told me the songs and singing weren't that bad, but the mix was horrendous. Thirty years later. A little late.Here's the scary part: you're going to be judged anyway. Wouldn't it make more sense to be judged in a way where you can capture the feedback and make changes before you publish?The Sidewalk LessonA few years ago on the Fourth of July, I fell on an uneven sidewalk while looking at my phone and still have the scars on my knees. That was feedback too, just the painful kind. If someone had warned me about that raised block of cement ahead of time, I'd have saved myself a lot of trouble. That's what good feedback does.Give me feedback on this show: head to schoolofpodcasting.com/survey and tell me how I can make it better. I'm doing this show for you.Want help growing your show?

Join hosts Stacy, Scott, D, and special guest comedian Blaq Ron (2018 HBO ABFF Comedy Wings Grand Champion and writer for MTV's Wild 'N Out) for an insightful, hilarious deep dive into 90s music, films, and pop culture.   In this episode, the crew kicks off with the origin story behind Stacy's iconic "Witty Hutton" T-shirt before diving into 90s cinema and gender dynamics. Blaq Ron breaks down the concept of "epigenesis," re-evaluates Michael Beach's infamous character roles in Waiting to Exhale and Soul Food, and compares modern "Passport Bros" to How Stella Got Her Groove Back.   The conversation then shifts to the bootleg CD era, remembering Napster, burned CDs, and how underground classics like Cell's "It's Goin' Down" moved culture without traditional sales figures. Later in the show, the crew reacts to Jay-Z's commentary on the Tupac and Biggie feud in his HBO documentary series with Rick Rubin, addresses the critiques surrounding Nia Long's Hollywood Walk of Fame star, unpacks Joe Jackson's hidden daughter Joh'Vonnie Jackson, and reflects on the rise, industry pressure, and legacy of Boyz II Men.  Chapters 0:00 Stacy's "Witty Hutton" T-Shirt Origin Story 2:30 Comedian Blaq Ron Explains "Epigenesis" & Language 8:23 Gender Dynamics in 90s Cinema: Michael Beach & Waiting to Exhale 15:24 Passport Bros vs. How Stella Got Her Groove Back 24:02 The Bootleg Era: Napster, Barbershop CDs & Cell's "It's Goin' Down" 29:27 Jay-Z's HBO Doc: Unpacking the Tupac & Biggie Feud Narrative 41:12 90s Nostalgic TV: Mama's Family, MASH* & Cultural Shifts 46:04 Michael J.

June 6th, 2000. Track six on "Music @ Work" opens on tabla, and the album credits name the player as Mr. Hussein. That's the whole credit.'The Bastard' sits between 'Stay' and 'The Completists' on the record The Tragically Hip made with Steve Berlin and Mark Vreeken, the one that took the 2001 Juno for Best Rock Album. It was never a single, and Chris from Seattle has a theory about why. It finished 119th of 169 on the TTHTop40 Countdown, and Hipbase and setlist.fm log it live just fourteen times (submitted set lists only, so the real number runs higher). Then the live poll in the Facebook group came back 36 percent love it, 46 percent like it, and 13 percent tolerate it, one of the highest tolerate numbers the show has seen.The panel spins a 2000 recording out of Cleveland, Gord singing his heart out, and Chris hears Godzilla in the rhythm section. Then the lyric sheet comes out. Crepuscular rays. Winged elephants. Purple Italians. A fire-and-brimstone preacher shouting about Philadelphia. One panelist thinks he's cracked it after twenty-six years of not reading the words. Another thinks Gord just liked how they sounded. Nobody's sure Gord would side with either of them.Underneath all of it sits a record the band never quite got behind. Steve came in calling "Music @ Work" his least favourite record by The Hip and walked out rediscovering it. Chris has it in his top five and has defended it on this show more than once. And jD once asked Johnny Fay about a "Music @ Work" box set. His reaction is in here, and so is Greg's reaction to his reaction.WHAT ELSE IS IN HERE• The icebreaker. One song by The Hip each they never got to hear live, and a pair of Calgary tickets from 2009 that Steve sold and still thinks about.• September 23rd in The Hip Handbook. A busy date, and two of the shows on it have somebody on this panel attached.• Steve's first time seeing The Hip was at a zoo. Yes, a zoo. Gord took the setting to heart.• "If this song was a car it would be a V8 with a manual transmission." Chris from Seattle, and he has the downshifts mapped.• Billy Sunday. Chris has a theory about Philadelphia, and Steve adds a layer from the ballpark.• Pell-mell, augurs, and augers (the ice fishing kind, per the chat). Greg's read on what's about to blow.• Steve hears another song of theirs hiding in this one, and it's one he doesn't care for at all.• Search for this song on YouTube and you might land on a Replacements cover at First Avenue instead. Steve did.• Next week the wheel lands on 'Radio Show,' from the "Fully Completely" sessions, the one that stayed in the vault until the 2014 deluxe reissue.THE PANEL• Chris from Seattle. Back again, and the loudest defender of "Music @ Work" this panel has had. Saw The Hip three times at the Moore Theatre, and first saw them with Greg, who he's known since they were both 18. His band is Loud Flowers: loudflowers.band• Steve from Toronto. Back again, a week ahead of schedule, and his plug this week is impending fatherhood. Originally from Thunder Bay. Heard 11 of the 14 songs on "Music @ Work" live. Not this one.• Greg from Tacoma. Back again, once his audio caught up with him. Wore this record out on a portable CD player while painting his deck in the summer of 2000, and he's the one who turned Chris on to The Hip in the first place. Makes music as Hadees Market Music.Big thanks to Chris, Steve, and Greg, and to a stacked chat. Twenty-six years in, 'The Bastard' still sounds like Gord Downie and The Tragically Hip with the pedal on the floor.GEDFEST TORONTO - SATURDAY, OCTOBER 17The Horseshoe Tavern, with Grace, 2, raising money for Campfire Circle and the Murphy Family Fund in Precision Medicine in Pancreatic Cancer.

"Big Bang" was once a term of derision for a model of the origin of the universe. Then it rose to general acceptance. And now that the James Webb Space Telescope has shown us so much more about the cosmos, the Big Bang seems to be fizzling out. What if we didn't have to guess? What if we could hear what happened, and how this all came to be, from Someone who was there? We have that eyewitness report in Genesis. Here's Jim to kick off our new series, Firm Foundations.

A podcast live recording from The Big Romance about the Chemical Brothers second album, - a 1997 dance record classic with guest Mango.   When I think of The Chemical Brothers, I think of Irish summer festivals and big nights out. The pure, kinetic energy of thousands of people losing their minds in a field or a packed arena. Released in April 1997, Dig Your Own Hole was the album that cemented Tom Rowlands and Ed Simons as electronic music's first true rock stars. Coming up to its 30th anniversary, it remains a landmark achievement: a psychedelic, acid-drenched dance record built out of hip-hop breaks, sirens, samplers, and raw punk attitude. With crossover chart hits like ‘Block Rockin' Beats', ‘Electrobank', ‘Setting Sun' and the euphoric closer ‘Private Psychedelic Reel' the album balances dancefloor power with adventurous studio experimentation.

I bought it on CD while on holiday with my parents in Boston in 1999. Before that, my exposure to electronic music was strictly Scooter, along with hearing 'Life Is Sweet' on those iconic Best Album in the World... Ever! compilation CDs. In his seminal book Energy Flash, critic Simon Reynolds described the Chemical Brothers' signature sound as "Britpop-with-breakbeats." They brought a punk-like assault to techno by emphasizing the same blaring mid-frequencies supplied by distorted rock guitars While the American press tried to brand it as the "electronica" revolution, calling Tom and Ed the "Beavis and Butt-head of techno", the duo pushed back, citing US hip-hop and Chicago house pioneers like Frankie Knuckles, Juan Atkins, and The Bomb Squad as their true north stars. 5 Things You Might Not Know About Dig Your Own Hole 1. Built for the Sunday Social Before they were headlining arenas, Tom and Ed were "The Three Blind Mice" at Manchester University—studying medieval history by day and hitting the Haçienda four nights a week. Their legendary 13-week residency at Heavenly's Sunday Social in London transformed UK club culture, with regulars like Oasis, Blur, Primal Scream, and the Manics coming to watch them blend hip-hop, acid house, and psych-rock. 2. "Setting Sun" Broke BBC Radio 1 Noel Gallagher wrote and recorded his vocal in 20 minutes after hearing the duo spin The Beatles' 'Tomorrow Never Knows' in a sweaty basement set. When the single dropped, BBC Radio 1's Breakfast Show famously pulled it off air halfway through because it was too intense for morning radio—which only helped propel it to UK #1. 3. Recorded in a 10x10 Room at Orinoco Studios Recorded in Elephant & Castle (the same studio complex where Enya's "Orinoco Flow" got its name and Gaye Bykers on Acid recorded Drill Your Own Hole), the album was field-tested in clubs using white-label promos (Electronic Battle Weapons 1 & 2) before the final tracking. 4. A Pencil and Sellotape Created the Phase Effect on "The Private Psychedelic Reel" To get the sweeping phase effect on the 9-minute closer, Tom and Ed sellotaped a pencil across a bank of mixing desk faders to move them simultaneously by hand into a Mu-Tron Bi-Phase processor. 5. Mercury Rev's Unexpected Cameo Jonathan Donahue played clarinet on 'The Private Psychedelic Reel.' He later credited the Chemical Brothers' invitation as the lifeline that kept him making music right before Mercury Rev wrote their breakthrough album, Deserter's Songs.

Standards are invisible when they're working well — but when they're missing, the entire mortgage ecosystem feels it. In this episode of Connect, California MBA CEO Paul Gigliotti sits down with Amy Moses, Vice President of Strategic Growth at MISMO, for a wide-ranging conversation on the data standards, compliance tools, and AI governance frameworks that every mortgage lender needs to understand right now — before the deadlines hit. From UAD 3.6 rolling out in November to the Mortgage Compliance Dataset piloting with California DFPI in Q1 2027, the pace of change in data and standards is accelerating fast. MISMO is building the infrastructure — but lenders have to show up and engage.

She is here to join our cafeteria clique as we discuss the 2004 movie phenomenon Mean Girls, and how the worldwide fandom for this movie a) destroyed Lindsay Lohan, and b) shaped our own high school experiences to varying degrees. (While we didn't have time to get into it in the episode, the Broadway musical and 2024 film musical are also big fandoms in their own right! Toxic femslashers rise!) We discuss the differences between American and British school culture, the 2000s cultural exports of the United States, and the continual cycle of Hollywood child sacrifices. Plus, another installment of V's teachers not knowing how to handle a very lesbian, very fannish child!SourcesSo Fetch: The Making of Mean Girls and Why We're Still So Obsessed With It, Jennifer Keishin ArmstrongCalling It: Bama RushTok Is Over by Anne Helen PetersenLindsay Lohan for Rolling Stone (2004)PromoTGI Femslash - Our favorite fan convention, TGIF/F, is happening soon!

Julie Grant in conversation with David Eastaugh  https://jgrant.info/ https://www.facebook.com/juliegrantmusic https://www.discogs.com/release/37653312-Crimson-Mints-Threadbare Award-winning Britpop musician, Julie Grant, has been collaborating with 60's guitarist Peter Collard to produce a new album, What's Not Said, which is out now. This ten-track CD features a collection of acoustic and electric songs that highlight Grant's distinctive voice and unflinching lyrics, paired with Collard's rhythmic, melodic style. The songs are inspired by the ten chapters from her forthcoming memoir, The Gatecrasher, set to be published in 2026. A respected and versatile artist, Julie has not only built a remarkable music career but has also performed on national television, recorded live sessions for BBC Radio, written for BBC television, and worked in theatre production.

It could have been a disaster. In the mid-1990s, two opposing camps faced off over the future of digital video discs. On one side, the creators of the Compact Disc: Philips and Sony, with a CD for movies. On the other, a disc from Toshiba and Warner Brothers. Was one better than the other? For some time it looked like VHS and Betamax all over again. In today's video, the dramatic birth of the DVD boom.

What's up, dudes? I'm dreaming of a white Christmas… and also punk Christmas, pizza-place Christmas, power-metal Christmas, and New Kids on the Block Christmas! Today we're diving into the '80s versions of Irving Berlin's classic “White Christmas!”Before the neon snowstorm hits, a quick rewind: Berlin wrote it around 1940, Bing Crosby introduced it on radio at Christmas 1941, then recorded it May 29, 1942 for Holiday Inn. Wartime America lost its mind for that wistful fireplace fantasy — 11 weeks at No. 1, an Oscar for Best Original Song, the 1954 movie, a 1947 re-record that became the one everybody knows, and roughly 50 million copies as the best-selling physical single ever. So of course the '80s had to get weird with it. Country legends, pop stars, punks, metalheads, jazz cats, claymation raisins, and yes — animatronic ShowBiz Pizza bears — all took a crack at dreaming of a white one.Punked-up Yobs? Check. Animatronic Rock-afire Explosion? Got it. Helloween sneaking holiday chaos onto a metal EP? Absolutely radical! So dust off the vinyl, cue up the cassette (or that shiny new CD), and dream along with this episode on “'80s Versions of White Christmas!”Give us a buzz! Send a text, dudes!Check us out on Facebook, Twitter,  Instagram,  Totally Rad Christmas Mall & Arcade, Teepublic.com, or TotallyRadChristmas.com!  Later, dudes!

A Mediocre Time with Tom & Dan: Episode Notes Episode: "69 Come Sticks" (#894) Hosts: Tom Vann, Dan Dennis | Guest: Ross McCoy (comedian, The Orlando Talk Show) Sponsors / Ad Reads Bart the Realtor / The Bart Marek Team: Opened with a host doing a "cool dude" character, then Bart called in. He said Central Florida real estate is having a rough, locked-up year because 30-year rates are near 7.25%. Cash buyers have the edge, and homes that have sat for a month or more have room to negotiate. His team is also doing a lot of estate, job-loss, and divorce sales. barttherealtor.com has cell numbers for Bart Marek and Crystal Vann. Bart has been a gold star sponsor for nearly 15 years. Seaz Nuts 2027 Tom & Dan Cruise: On the MSC Seashore out of Port Canaveral, with stops in Nassau and Ocean Cay. Interior staterooms start at $1,200 for two and include Wi-Fi, in-room breakfast, and a premium drink package (15 drinks a day). There will be a live broadcast and the Mediocre Idol karaoke contest. Deposits at tomanddancruise2027.com. Injured On The Go / Just Call Moe (justcallmoe.com): Studio sponsor, also named as a cruise sponsor. Trail of Terror "Sweet 16": At Peghorn Nature Preserve in St. Cloud, six dates only. Tickets are $15 in advance or $20 at the door, via the zombie girl link on TomandDan.com. Supported by Experience Kissimmee and Orlando Health St. Cloud Hospital. Modern Plumbing Industries (modernpi.com): Mention Tom & Dan for 10% off. The read included a listener story about a sewer backup coming up a shower drain. They cover all Central Florida counties, residential and industrial, including cast iron pipe relining. My Eternal Vitality (myeternalvitality.com): A quick drop-in plug during the Method Man TRT joke. Cruise sponsors: justcallmoe.com, Empire Spot Fireworks, Celery City Craft, Villain Coffee / Villain Roasters. Segment Rundown Cold open: cool dude character. The Bart ad read was framed around a revived "cool dude" character that Bart likes. Afterward the hosts argued over how to sign off after a sponsor read. Cruise update: $20 bump. Dan debuted a new "Yachty" sound effect. The first block of balcony cabins sold out, and Tony from Ahoy Cruises got a second block at $20 more, which he was angry about for the listeners' sake. Inside cabins are still at the original price, but another block could cost more. Deposits are fully refundable until a couple of months before sailing. The hosts mocked anyone who cancels. Falcons and Garth tonight. Tom was still wound up after the Falcons game, where a rough first quarter gave way to a strong performance. Moe DeWitt invited the crew, Ross included, to the Garth Brooks show at the Kia Center that night. They joked about how many people dropped out before Tom and Dan got invited, and guessed Buzz Stecker would skip it. Crystal had been playing Garth's greatest hits on Amazon Music (the audio quality got panned), and a host's daughter caught him in "Garth mode." Favorites included "Callin' Baton Rouge" and "Friends in Low Places." Billionaire musicians quiz. A report that Garth considered selling his catalog, valued around $2 billion, led into a guessing game about the six billionaire musicians. The crew landed Jay-Z, Beyonce, Paul McCartney, Taylor Swift, and Rihanna. Rihanna got an asterisk because most of her money comes from her cosmetics line. Ross also floated "A billion is a lot" as a T-shirt. Chris Gaines deep dive. Dan went down the Chris Gaines rabbit hole: Gaines was written as a fictional Australian rock star from Brisbane, with a made-up back catalog. The album was meant to set up a movie called The Lamb, a thriller about a fan trying to prove Gaines was murdered. The character was written as a sex addict, and Garth would have needed an Australian accent. The album sold about 2 million copies and became Garth's only Top 40 pop hit. The SNL episode where Garth hosted and introduced Gaines as the musical guest confused a host's dad. The hosts compared the idea to Borat and to found-footage horror. A host remembered seeing a found-footage film at the Enzian with its UCF filmmakers and believing it was real. Caller Cara: nanny stories. Cara was a nanny for a top makeup artist who worked with Garth, Faith Hill, Reba and others. She said Garth's team went along with the Gaines look because nobody told him no. She lived on the artist's property in her early 20s and fried okra and chicken at Faith Hill's Southern-style baby shower. The artist's husband played in Barbara Mandrell's band. The hosts brought up Tom's childhood nanny again. They also recalled the Gaines album ending up in bargain bins once record stores over-ordered. Garth, music rights, and yes-men. Garth fought used-CD stores in 1995, resisted iTunes, and launched his own download service, GhostTunes, later absorbed into Amazon Music. The hosts roasted his naming choices: GhostTunes, The Lamb, a fake Gaines album called "Fornicopia," and his production company Red Strokes. Tom created the "Castleberry Garth" bit about rich stars who won't take notes from employees. Claims from a 2013 lawsuit by an ex-business partner: Garth supposedly passed on Twister (the Helen Hunt role) and Saving Private Ryan to avoid sharing the spotlight. His Padres spring training stint was for charity (a donation to Boys & Girls Clubs), not a real tryout. Dan admitted arguing with Claude about it before conceding. Pre-internet news coverage made stunts like this confusing. Caller Charles: concert parking. BDM Charles was taking his wife to the Garth show for their 23rd anniversary and asked for parking tips. The hosts first gave joke advice: tip a random guy in a construction vest to valet your car. Then came real tips about the Kia Center lots and a gate most people don't know about. Dan's partner Andrea has a secret back-alley parking route. The crew planned crispy tavern-style pizza downtown and Uber rides home. Ross's Uber nightmare. After Wu-Tang Clan at the MidFlorida amphitheater in Tampa, Ross and his wife could see their Hard Rock hotel balcony but had I-4 in the way. Rideshare signs led them nowhere, and the app's pickup point was a slab of concrete in an empty fairgrounds field. The driver stayed in a different lot and stopped answering, while black SUVs kept offering rides. They ended up walking toward a distant Hampton Inn. Chat and hosts piled on about Uber's decline (rider-rating filtering, cancellations) and a Waymo that got stuck in traffic. Break: ska block. The Family Business Limited's "Still a Jamaican" (new album out today) and the Barstool Preachers' "Want to Know" (pick of the week), followed by the Trail of Terror read. Oviedo e-bike arrest. A News 6 clip covered an 11-year-old in Oviedo who got a written arrest for riding a Sur-Ron-style electric dirt bike near Sweetwater Park. He bought it with $900 from selling squirrel picnic tables. The charges were an unregistered vehicle, no insurance, no motorcycle endorsement, and no eye protection. His father called it an overreach, and the boy will miss school for court. Tom recalled his brother getting a written arrest for riding a dirt bike on the street. Officer interview: e-bike law. A BDM police officer (name unclear in the transcript) called in: The crackdown follows a wave of crashes and kids getting hurt, plus newer statutes that classify e-bikes. With working pedals it's a bicycle. With the pedals removed it's a motor vehicle. Fake pedals may get riders by some officers. Enforcement is at the officer's discretion: a civil infraction with a misdemeanor consequence. Registering a Sur-Ron takes blinkers, lights, and a plate. Dan's old scooter has only an antique tag. Stand-up scooters are speed-regulated, and OneWheels are unregulated. You can get a DUI on anything motorized. Adults can be charged for letting an unlicensed minor drive. Traffic court has a hearing officer, not prosecutors. Seminole County is stricter than Orange. Afterward the hosts wondered how their Miami friend Turkey Leg, who rides one, would react. Wu-Tang concert recap. Ross described the night: Bone Thugs-n-Harmony opened with medleys, including an Eazy-E tribute and a Biggie and Tupac tribute. RZA gave a spoken history of the group, then the set ran through 36 Chambers material and solo spots for Method Man, Ghostface, Raekwon, Cappadonna, and a Mobb Deep member. Method Man showed off his physique and hair, which set up the TRT joke. There was a memorial tribute to late rappers. The reveal: ODB's parts were performed by his son, Young Dirty Bastard. His mother tried to steer him away from music, and RZA didn't cast him in the American Saga series. The hosts traded ODB stories and tried, unsuccessfully, to play a TRL clip. Seacrest and aging. A host's parents cut cable and now use an antenna for NFL games, which means catching Ryan Seacrest on Wheel of Fortune. The crew discussed Seacrest's changed face, weight loss versus cosmetic work, and his frosted tips at his age. Vanna White came up too. Tom said he's getting gray streaks and would dye his hair, which got jokes about jet-black "magician hair." Elizabeth Holmes documentary. Nathan Fielder's secretive Holmes documentary screened at a festival with breathless reviews but no specifics. It's rated R for graphic nudity. The leading theory was that it includes a childbirth video. The crew expected a three-hour absurdist art piece and joked about betting on its reception on Kalshi. They noted a trailer scene where her husband takes the whisk from her while she's making eggs. Ross's theory: the story turns to Holmes cheating on him. That led to a tangent on Italian brainrot videos, Skibidi Toilet being over, "6-7," and how much Fortnite has changed. Break: pop punk block. Rivals' "Adrenaline Rush," the Modern PI read, and Cartel. "Mother of the Year" video. In a viral Giants broadcast clip, a mom juggles a baby, a carrier, and stacks of food and drinks back to her seat while her husband sits idle, and the announcers roast him. Tom defended the dad, saying partners who don't ask for help end up making the other person look bad. The others ribbed him for how he phrased it. Dan described Andrea handing off their daughter at Magic and Orlando City games so she could take a break. Ross offered a gentler defense, citing $25 concert beers and sending his wife to the beer tent. Dan shared Andrea's backhanded compliment that she's glad he drinks less, but "even this one scares me." Dripstick product. Ross got a targeted ad after Monday's cruise talk about tampons. The product is Awkward Essentials' Dripstick, a post-sex sponge applicator. The hosts read the instructions, then argued at length about hygiene and peeing after sex. Dan explained his cleanup routine, and Tom compared it to cleaning a paint sprayer or a beer line. The product's FAQ recommends peeing afterward anyway. The punchline was a "69 for $69" deal, which gave the episode its title, plus a joke return address on the "discreet packaging." Caller Toad King. Last call of the day: a crude one-liner about the post-sex topic, with nothing substantive. Tom's crazy fact: snakebites. The US averages about 5 snakebite deaths a year, and Tom asked the crew to guess India's number. The answer is about 58,000, mostly rural. The crew discussed the colonial snake-bounty story (often called an urban legend), India's "big four" venomous snakes, the Monsters of God documentary, and a story about someone stealing a nearly extinct tortoise breeding population. Plugs and wrap. Ross plugged The Orlando Talk Show and the Moe Comedy Jam. The cruise price increase got a reminder, and they announced Villain Roasters' new location with a possible Tom & Dan chicken-and-waffle item and a meetup. Key Dates / Plugs Mentioned Today (Friday): Garth Brooks at the Kia Center, with the crew attending as Moe DeWitt's guests. The Family Business Limited's new album is out.

Featured Musician: Madison Ambush THE VIDEO: [After THE JUMP: The show notes, eventually.]  --------------------- 1. Iowa Preview: Defense starts at the top They shut down two bad teams and an unknown in ISU. We know they're historically good, run Cov2 and lots of Cover-6 and Cover-8. Seems like the DTs are soft and LBs are making them hold up, which should be exploitable. Cam Buffington is a young Jack Campbell. What's going on in the secondary? Lutmer emerged last year, Anthony Hawkins might be losing is job to a JMU transfer. ISU got them on the edges because the LBs were stepping down and the ISU LT got out on the LBs. 2. Iowa Preview: Offense starts at 20:11 Alex has a hard time getting a bead on these guys. Return two OL from last year's Joe Moore OL, Seth thinks all three interior OL are centers but they have a great LT (should be a G in the NFL) in Trevor Lauck. Kamari Moulton was great last year but banged up, so is transfer RB LJ Phillips. Tony Diaz has emerged as TE DJ Vonnahme has been hurt. Hank Brown: meh. Fast straight-line speed. 3. UTEP After Review starts at 42:20 Encouraging play from Bryce Underwood. Made better decisions than it looked, might be a beat late but can get to a better look. Defense: Tariq Boney was amazing, hard to learn more from the DL against this. Earls and Bracy both at fault for 1st TD. Bracy was not at fault for the 2nd TD. Weird to have a DC who just presses the "NOPE" button. Noticed another bust between Earls and Mason Curtis. 4. Roddy's (and Noland's) Eligibility, Rivals Payola, and the PCSA starts at 1:10:55 ...is what I think we are talking about this segment. Roddy wins Round 2; Round 3 is the NCAA's appeal and that's the most important. Rivals is charging $500 to come see your kid—it's gross but also they're getting in on a world that's been exploiting athletes for tens of thousands. They pay for camps already. They pay their own travel to visit and work out for schools. They pay tuition at private schools or buy houses built by boosters to go to the big programs where they'll get noticed. This isn't "you have to pay $500 or we won't look at you;" it's another option. Where it damages is the Rivals rankings. But Old Rivals got a reputation for favoring the guys who went to their camps. Featured Artist: Madison Ambush I know nothing about these guys except this sampler kicks. Also they were probably listening to Frank Marino around the same time my friends and I were. The only way I can describe it is it's from some alternate reality where hair metal got to keep developing as a music form without veering into glam or getting upended by grunge. There's so much energy here, and also so many ideas buried, especially in Stray Time Bomb, which has what I think is a guitar wail recorded backwards behind the chorus? This sampler came home with me from a 2005 trip to New York, a night I was bouncing around the music scene with a friend who was working for Atlantic (the buddy who went on to found Metalsucks) and others he knew from work, but that's all I remember about its acquisition. The back cover says they're four guys: Marc Andrew (vocals/acoustic), Joe Brannan (electric guitars/keyboard), Don Donnerund (drums), and Frank Ruso (bass), and then there's a fifth name: David Geschwendt and a fifth guy in the photo further down. It says it was recorded in Astoria, NY, but mixed in Copley, Ohio. The website is offline. The internet has one other CD by them, but Brannan is now "guitar, keyboard" and Geschwendt is replaced by a guy named Fatcat. They're here on Spotify. Songs: Versus        Good Day for a Change        Stray Time Bomb Also because Across 110th Street will get our Youtubes taken down, the opener and outro: “The Employee is Not Afraid”—Bear vs. Shark “Ruska Vodka”—Motorboat

Word of mouth is the absolute best way to support any creative endeavor. Clean energy keeps getting cheaper, and that shift is showing up close to home, not just in headlines. Solar and wind installations are creating local jobs, and towns that invest early tend to see lower long - term energy costs for residents. The best part is you don't need to wait on Washington. Local decisions, town halls, utility co - ops, all of it adds up. If you want a way to help without changing your whole life, show up to one local meeting this year and ask what your community's energy plan looks like.

I'm a Celtic musician and also host of Pub Songs & Stories. Every song has a story, every episode is a toast to Celtic and folk songwriters. This podcast is for fans of all kinds of Celtic music. We are here to build a diverse Celtic community and help the incredible artists who so generously share their music with you. If you hear music you love, please email the artists to let them know you heard them on the Irish & Celtic Music Podcast. Because we are more than just a radio show. We are a community. A community of Celtic music and culture lovers. We support small and local artists. We spend money on things that truly matter. The personal and heart felt. You can do that with each of the artists on today's show OR your favorite artists. Buy a CD, Album Pin, Shirt, Digital Download, or join their community on Patreon.

CELTIC PODFEST AND ARTS MARKET The Kickstarter for the 2027 Celtic PodFest and Arts Market is now live. I need your help funding this festival. Your generosity will ensure not only that the festival happens, but that each of the artists at the festival get paid. The event is currently scheduled for the last Sunday of February 2027, but it greatly depends on whether we can raise the money to fund it. And if you do decide to fund the festival, there are a bunch of great rewards including a flashback to one of my favorite shirt designs. Head on over to our Kickstarter for the Second Celtic PodFest. You'll find a link in the shownotes. ALBUM PINS ARE CHANGING THE WAY WE HEAR CELTIC MUSIC Looking for a fresh way to support the music you love? Meet the Album Pin. Album Pins are lapel pins themed to a specific album — and each one comes with a digital download. Wear your music. All of my latest pins are wood - burned and locally produced, which means a smaller footprint and a one - of - a - kind feel you won't find anywhere else.

TRAVEL WITH CELTIC INVASION VACATIONS Every year, I take a small group of Celtic music fans on the relaxing adventure of a lifetime. We don't see everything. Instead, we stay in one area. We get to know the region through its culture, history, and legends. You can join us with an auditory and visual adventure through podcasts and videos. I am now accepting applications for people to join the Celtic Invasion of Isle of Skye hiking trip in 2027 at http://celticinvasion.com/ #celticmusic #irishmusic #celticmusicpodcast I WANT YOUR FEEDBACK What are you doing today while listening to the podcast? Send me a photo. If you're in a Celtic band, send me an audio recording of you performing live. Just audio. I'll use it in a podcast episode later this year. Email me at follow@bestcelticmusic. Sarah Shorter emailed: "Hi Mark I use podcast addict. A couple of weeks ago episodes 678ish to current dropped off the feed. I'm still getting new ones and I'm downloading the protest songs now. But I thought it might need bringing to your attention." Patrick Rieger sent St Patrick's Day Feedback from 2026: "Hi Marc, My family and I marched in Pittsburgh's Saint Patrick's Day Parade again but this time for one of our other activities, representing the Amateur Astronomers Association of Pittsburgh. We were joined by three other members of the club. As far as I know, this is the first time in its 97 year history the club was represented in the parade, which itself started in 1869. The parade celebrates Saint Patrick and the Irish, but also Pittsburgh and its people, and the club is part of that. The parade started at 10AM but since we were near the back, we didn't start moving until 11:30, so we had time to talk with other participants.. I love the variety of groups in the parade, One of our members brought a small telescope with a Sun filter so we could safely show people the Sun while we waited. The Saturday Light Brigade radio program likes to hear from people at the parade so I gave them a call. Here are some photos. Yes, that is someone dressed as a pierogi on a scooter, pierogies are big in Pittsburgh. My wife and I carried the banner. It was a joy to be in the parade again, and I hope the club is willing for us to do it again next year. We didn't go to any celebrations, they would be too crowded and too crazy. We went to one of our observatories where people brought games and snacked on pizza instead. I'll get back to the pub after the holiday." John L Pearson emailed about the Celtic Protest Songs episode: "Marc, I've been listening forever and have written you a couple other times over the years. I had to write and thank you for this great and necessary episode. Not only a necessary idea and thing to do in our current moment, but beautifully done. Great selection of songs, and I love the history and commentary you wove into the episode. I'm sure you'll get some feedback complaining that you shouldn't get political, but right now it is necessary. And really, it's hardly even political; it's just talking about the reality of the moment. Thanks as always for your great work and especially this inspirational episode. I do a little daily substack trying to stay engaged with all that is going on without letting it overwhelm me. I wrote tomorrow's post while listening to this episode! Slainte"
