A powerhouse of 90's-tinged indie-rock, alt-pop, Loviet (pronounced like soviet with an L) has established herself as one of Canada's brightest up-and-coming artists to watch, supporting critically acclaimed artists The Beaches, Giant Rooks and Jesse Jo Stark, and performing at festivals such as Lollapalooza (Chicago), Summerfest (Milwaukee) and Riot Fest (Chicago) “delivering a show that is fit for an arena" (Megan LaPierre, Exclaim! Magazine).Her EP The Nighttime Is All In The Timing earned Loviet Music Nova Scotia's Rock Recording of the Year and East Coast Music Awards Breakthrough Artist of the Year. This five-track offering, produced by Cacie Dalager and Bradley Hale of American indie-rock band Now, Now is sonically expansive and emotionally charged, described by Loviet as “…lots of guitars, energy, power, and mess”. From the unabating urgency of her boldly breathtaking anthem “Broken Lips” to the unapologetic roar of “Star Treatment,” The Nighttime Is All In The Timing finds Loviet soundtracking moments of reckoning and raw reflection through catchy and cathartic upheavals that hit hard and leave a lasting mark.Loviet is further bridging the gap between her praised live shows and recorded catalog, featuring a more rock driven, unblushing portrayal on latest single releases STIFFY, CHEERLEADER and PLUSH, produced by Loviet.  Thanks for listening!!!

Episode 248 - Act 4 - Connect and Renew - Strengthen What Strengthens You As A DadConnect and Renew — Strengthen What Strengthens YouBuild a Challenge Network. Compliments feel good, but they don't help you grow. Honest feedback does. Psychologist Adam Grant suggests creating a small group of people who care enough to tell you the truth. Ask better questions like, “What's one thing I could do better?” Try a weekly Feedback Friday: send one piece of work to someone you trust and ask for one suggestion to improve it. Two or three honest critics are enough to keep you sharp and improving.Curate Your CircleYour relationships shape your habits and mindset. Research shows emotions and behaviors — good and bad — spread through social networks. Don't just drift into connections; choose them.Build a balanced circle with three key people:A Challenger who pushes you and speaks honestly.A Cheerleader who believes in you and lifts you up.A Coach who's a bit ahead of you and offers guidance.Stay close to people who energize and motivate you.Create a To-Don't ListGrowth isn't just about adding more; it's also about stopping what doesn't matter. Each quarter, ask yourself, “What's not worth my time?” Drop one commitment, meeting, or project that adds little value. Removing low-impact tasks frees your time and focus for what truly counts.Take Micro SabbathsBalance movement with stillness. A micro sabbath is a short daily pause — 10 to 15 minutes with no phone, no screens, and no tasks. Just breathe, sit quietly, or step outside. These moments restore your mind, reduce stress, and help creativity return. It's maintenance, not laziness.Send 26 Thank-You NotesGratitude strengthens relationships and boosts happiness. Studies show writing thank-you notes increases life satisfaction and reduces stress. This year, send 26 notes — one every two weeks. Keep them short, sincere, and specific. Gratitude lifts your mood and deepens connections.Pick two or three of these ideas to focus on. A better year doesn't just happen — you create it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q10H5RA3eCADaniel's free workbook - https://www.danpink.com/workbook Playlist Link: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLC2syoh-4I8L-mOMkJ_kNJgZgHB3G3sFZ https://www.danpink.com/___https://dadspace.camusic provided by Blue Dot SessionsSong: The Big Ten https://app.sessions.blue/browse/track/258270

Kellie Martin joins Killer Thriller to revisit the true story behind Death of a Cheerleader, the 90s TV movie based on the real-life murder of young girl in a small affluent town. The movie became the highest rated TV movie of the year. At just 17, Kellie stepped into the role of Angela Delvecchio, the girl who killed her classmate. She reveals why she avoided researching the real case, how she fought to make Angela sympathetic instead of monstrous, and why she saw shame and desperation at the heart of the stabbing.Kellie opens up about feeling like the outsider next to Tori Spelling at the height of 90210 fame and how that real-life insecurity gave her a window into Angela’s shame and obsession.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Seth and Marc re-record an episode from days past and talk about Aerosmith's Walk This Way. It's pretty confusing, pretty gross, and much more on-the-nose than Steven Tyler was thinking.

Interview Date: December 14th, 2025.In this episode of Business of Dance, Menina sits down with veteran performer and powerhouse industry staple Sarah Mitchell, who joins the conversation nine months pregnant and still glowing (literally). Sarah takes us back to her beginnings in Western Massachusetts—starting dance at two-and-a-half, falling in love with NYC after seeing the Rockettes at age nine, and boldly moving to New York City with limited money but unstoppable determination. From becoming a Patriots cheerleader in high school (and earning a Super Bowl ring) to landing the Knicks City Dancers through a Good Morning America public vote, Sarah breaks down how dance teams can be a career-launching network, training ground, and built-in community for dancers moving to major markets.Sarah shares a full-circle story that shaped her career: after moving to LA with no plan besides “I have to be here,” she booked American Gladiators—only for the dance cast to be cut. That “loss” led directly to her booking a Jell-O commercial, meeting Jerry Slaughter, and soon finding herself dancing with Christina Aguilera—the same artist she once watched from the audience dreaming of being on stage. From there, the episode dives into Sarah's long-running work with major artists and productions, including Christina Aguilera (spanning roughly 2007/2008 to 2024), Britney Spears' Vegas residency, Burlesque, and the realities of auditioning, touring, and navigating the emotional highs and lows of a freelance performance career—especially as life expands into marriage and motherhood.Shownotes:(0:00) – Welcome(7:01) – Full intro: Sarah Mitchell's career highlights(11:40) – Early beginnings: Western MA, Rockettes inspiration(12:30) – Patriots cheerleaders, Super Bowl ring, early confidence(13:17) – Knicks City Dancers + Good Morning America vote(17:01) – Cross-country move to LA, starting from scratch(20:26) – American Gladiators canceled → pivotal career shift(22:28) – Booking Christina Aguilera through Jerry Slaughter(30:15) – Burlesque stories: doubles, endurance, golden time(50:37) – Q&A wisdom: preparation, mindset, longevity, balanceBiography:A dancer and choreographer with over 20 years of experience, Mitchell has toured and performed with artists such as Christina Aguilera, Katy Perry, Pitbull and Dua Lipa.

What is life really like inside one of the most famous in American pop culture? In this episode of No Filter, Kate Langbroek sits down with Faith Ward, an Australian–New Zealand dancer who went from thinking an unexpected message was a scam to becoming a Dallas Cowboys Cheerleaders. Faith takes us behind the uniform to talk candidly about what it actually takes to make it — and stay — inside the world’s most recognisable cheer squad. From the brutal audition process and constant scrutiny, to discipline, image control, and the realities of pay, Faith shares what the public rarely sees. We talk ponytails, pressure, pay rises, and perfection — the details that reveal how much is demanded of the women who wear the uniform, and what it costs to belong to such a powerful global brand. This is a behind-the-curtain conversation about ambition, sacrifice, identity and what happens when the glamour meets the reality.

When Jenn Lyon was offered the role of cheer coach Courteney on NBC's mockumentary series, “Stumble,” (new episodes Fridays at 8:30/7:30c & streaming the next day on Peacock) it was almost too good to be true. Jenn was obsessed with the Netflix “Cheer” documentary upon which “Stumble” is based, and she had been a JV cheerleader herself back in the day. Jenn is hilarious and talks to me about her roots in sketch comedy; her favorite mockumentary shows and movies; the perils of clip-on bangs, and her delusions of grandeur before making it big in showbiz. 00:00 Beanies, Clip-On Bangs & Suffering 01:40 Mockumentaries & Christopher Guest Obsession 03:00 JV Cheer in North Carolina (Barely Survived) 04:55 What Stumble Is Really About 06:30 Hidden Jokes & Easter Eggs on Set 08:10 Improvising vs Scripted Comedy 09:45 Working with Taran Killam 14:30 Larry David on Broadway 16:50 Stunt Doubles & “Stunt Triples” 19:10 Moving to NYC with Delusional Confidence 21:15 Getting Beat Up as a Moose 23:00 Early YouTube Comedy Days 27:45 True Crime, Dateline & Cult Podcasts 32:50 Losing Everything in the Fire 36:30 Dreaming of Being Murdered on Law & Order This is another Hurrdat Media Production.

Notes and Links to Timothy Welbeck's Work     Timothy Welbeck, Esq., is an affiliated faculty member in the Department of Africology and African American Studies, where he previously served as an Assistant Professor of Instruction. There he teaches an array of popular courses, including a course he developed entitled Kendrick Lamar and the Morale of the m.A.A.d city. More broadly, Timothy's scholarly work focuses on contemporary issues of racial identity in America, the intersection of racial classifications and the law in the American context, contemporary African American culture, and hip-hop as a microcosm of the Black experience. Timothy has also written several peer-reviewed journal articles including “We Have Come Into This House: The Black Church, Florida's Stop W.O.K.E., and the Fight to Teach Black History.” He also authored “Specter of Reform: The late Sen. Arlen Specter's Criminal Justice Reform, the Violent Crime Control and Law Enforcement Act of 1994, and its Role in Expanding the Modern Prison Industrial Complex,” explores the impact of the infamous 1994 Crime Bill in providing the infrastructure for mass incarceration within the United States. The research, funded by the Arlen Specter Center fellowship, examines how the federalization of criminal law, pursuant to the Commerce Clause, has led to expansive growth in federal law enforcement, imprisonment, and thus setting the foundation for the modern carceral state. Timothy's article “People's Instinctive Travels and the Paths to Rhythms: Hip-Hop's Continuation of the Enduring Tradition of African and African American Rhetorical Forms and Tropes,” examines hip-hop's continuation of centuries-old African cultural norms and aesthetic values. As an attorney, Timothy has long been an advocate for justice, using his legal expertise to defend society's most vulnerable individuals, including survivors of human trafficking, survivors of police brutality, and the indigent. He has also provided crisis management, guidance, and legal counsel to churches and nonprofit organizations across the globe. In that capacity, Timothy is the Chair of the Board of Directors for The Witness Foundation, and an Advisory Board member of For the Future Organization. Timothy has also served as the Civil Rights Attorney for the Philadelphia Chapter of Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), where he defended the constitutionally protected civil rights and liberties of those who experience discrimination and harassment based on their faith, race, ethnicity, and/or national origin, particularly members of the Muslim community within Pennsylvania.  As a hip-hop artist, he has released four full length recordings, shared the stage with national and international acts (Janelle Monáe, Jidenna, EPMD, Dead Prez, and Immortal Technique), won songwriting contests (Session 1 Grand Prize in 2010 John Lennon Songwriting Contest), garnered high compliments from hip-hop legends, industry taste-makers (Sway) and record executives (VP of A&R at Def Jam, Lenny S).  His latest work, entitled ‘Trane of Thought, is a live recorded hip-hop album that melds songs from his first two albums the musical style of John Coltrane. Timothy presently serves as the Pastor of Formation and a Teaching Elder at Epiphany Church of Wilmington, bringing over twenty years of ministry experience. He fosters spiritual growth through expositional and topical preaching, community engagement, trainings, workshops and spiritual counseling. In his role, he equips Epiphany members to live out their faith practically in their communities and prepare others to do the same. Timothy's work as an attorney and scholar has allowed him to contribute to various media outlets, such as: Axios, BBC Radio 4, CBS, CNN, The Huffington Post, NBC, The New York Times, NPR, The Philadelphia Inquirer, REVOLT TV, The Washington Post, VOX, and 900 WURD AM. He has lectured nationally and internationally at esteemed institutions like: Magdalen College of Oxford University, Georgetown University, Swarthmore College, and provided invited keynote addresses at major corporations like 1Hotels, Campbell Soup, and Merrill Lynch. As a contributing writer, Timothy has bylines in The Huffington Post, The Philadelphia Inquirer, WHYY, and RESPECT Magazine.  He earned his J.D. from Villanova University Charles Widger School of Law and his B.A. from Morehouse College, where he graduated cum laude and was awarded the Corella and Bertrand Bonner Scholarship.
