Fed up with the cheesy antics and shameless self-promotion of typical wedding disc jockeys, Mary Nisi founded Toast and Jam in 2005 based on the idea that her clients and guests should be entertained, not overshadowed. Music-obsessed since childhood, Mary got her start in community radio and began DJing events when a listener called the request line and asked if she would DJ their wedding. Since then, the company has provided the soundtrack to thousands of weddings and events in Chicago and beyond, most notably for Barack & Michelle Obama, Valerie and Laura Jarrett, Vince Vaughn, and this one afterparty for every important NASCAR driver who was all very amused by the fact that she knew not one of them by name, amongst many, many others. She is a founding member of the Chicago Independent Radio Project (CHIRP) and the CHIRP Record Fair & Other Delights and currently hosts "The Noonday Underground" on Mondays from noon to 3 pm on CHIRPradio.org. She's DJed at numerous spots around Chicago including The Whistler, Cole's Danny's (RIP!), Schuba's, The Burlington, Delilah's, and Smashing Time, the legendary Saturday night dance party at The Hideout, as well as abroad at All Tomorrow's Parties, the celebrated music festival in Camber Sands, England. A graduate of DePaul University and a native of Omaha, Nebraska, Mary has been featured on NPR's All Things Considered, Chicago Public Radio, CS Brides, The Knot, Wedding Wire, The Atlantic, Chicago Tribune, Brides Chicago, Martha Stewart Weddings and TimeOut Chicago. She is also a graduate of the Goldman Sachs 10000 Small Businesses Program. In 2022, she launched the podcast All Up In My Lady Business. Mary is also the creator of the Toast & Jam Lab, an online course to help Mobile DJs Grow & Scale their businesses. Mary fills the rest of her time with beekeeping in her Evanston, IL, backyard, sewing in the basement, downhill skiing, watching Jeopardy!, and bicycling around the neighborhood with her husband, John, and son Sebastian. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/2djs/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/2djs/support

The spiritual seeker's guide to living with authenticity and integrity in troubled times by a lauded journalist and monk mentored by Thomas Merton. This book is a dialogue between two spiritual seekers—one a Trappist monk and the other a married professional woman. It is two people “strugeling to articulate life's universal questions from diverse contexts and perspectives.” Brother Paul writes as one steeped in silence and the daily rhythms of the ancient prayer practices of monasticism. Judith Valente writes as a professional woman attempting to bring a sense of prayer and contemplation to a scattered life in the secular world. Valente uses the story of Brother Paul's interview for a PBS documentary as a jumping-off point: When asked the purpose of the Trappist life in the modern world, he said that it is “to show you don't need a purpose.” The purpose of life, he said, is life. “You're to live your life.” How to Be offers a window into two people living their lives on purpose (or not) and struggling to come to terms with the big issues everyone faces: faith, mortality, mystery, prayer, work. It is a book that provides insight and inspiration for those walking the spiritual path—particularly for those interested in the contemplative path. Judith Valente is a former staff writer for the Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal and a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in journalism. She is a former correspondent for PBS's Religion & Ethics NewsWeekly and senior correspondent for investigative reporting and long features at the NPR affiliate in central Illinois. She was also a special correspondent covering faith and values and arts and culture for Chicago Public Radio. Valente contributes articles to US Catholic magazine and National Catholic Reporter.

IS YOUR ANXIETY REALLY GRIEF? with CLAIRE BIDWELL SMITH “Grief and joy often walk hand in hand.” – Dr. Amy Robbins Episode Summary: We have all experienced loss. Therefore, we have all experienced grief, in one form or another. In this episode, we talk with renowned grief expert Claire Bidwell Smith, a therapist and the author of three critically acclaimed books, already published in 19 countries: The Rules of Inheritance After This: When Life is Over Where Do We Go? Anxiety: The Missing Stage of Grief Claire strives to provide support for all kinds of people experiencing all kinds of grief. Claire offers online programs for grief in addition to working with people one-on-one. The Rules of Inheritance is currently optioned for television rights. In addition to having given dozens of talks on grief, Claire has written for The New York Times, Scientific American, The Washington Post, Goop, The Huffington Post, Salon.com, Slate, Chicago Public Radio, The Guardian, Psychology Today, Yoga Journal, and BlackBook Magazine. Her insights have been featured on MSNBC, Good Day LA, Today.com, The Atlantic, the Los Angeles Times, The Chicago Tribune, NPR, Forbes, Conde Nast Traveler, the San Francisco Chronicle, the Minneapolis Star Tribune, Oprah Magazine, Self Magazine, Shape Magazine, and dozens of radio shows and podcasts. People want to hear from Claire! We grieve throughout our lifetimes, not for a person we have lost. Listen in to understand how grief impacts us all, and how unprocessed grief can actually show up as anxiety. Topics We Discuss: [4:00] Claire's experiences with the very early loss of both of her parents, and a series of secret conversations with a close college friend as she approached death. Asking herself, “What is the meaning of all this?” Seeing mediums, priests and rabbis, shamans, doing past life regressions, exploring alternative therapies… [10:00] Grief in the context of the two COVID years. How we grieve more than just the death of a loved one. COVID brought so much change. Grief is about loss, but loss is always about change. Since the COVID years brought about an unprecedented amount of change, we are all grieving. [12:40] The interconnection of anxiety and grief. Claire found anxiety as a missing element of the grief conversation. Unprocessed grief can manifest as anxiety. [20:44] What people can expect as they move through grief. Sadness, fear, anger, overwhelm, guilt, regret, betrayal. We grieve in whatever way we live, and our grief will be different depending on the nature of the loss. Processing grief: sitting with grief, opening up to the feelings that arise, retraining your brain, being in the present moment. [27:33] What sort of counselor to look for to process anxiety and grief. [29:10] Claire's upcoming grief and loss course for mental health professionals: coaches, therapists, teachers, counselors, nurses, doctors. [34:18] After years of research, what Claire believes happens when we die. [36:08] Claire answers Amy's speed round questions: Spirituality means… What is something most people don't know about you? What are you looking forward to right now? What is one thing you are deeply grateful for? What book is on your nightstand? What is your favorite spiritual or healing practice? What is the most transformative experience of your life? FOLLOW CLAIRE BIDWELL SMITH Find Claire's books wherever books are sold.

Season 5, Episode 7 of Messy Jesus Business podcast, hosted by Sister Julia Walsh. "We have more than one calling, depending on the will of God." - Judith Valente LISTEN HERE: IN THIS EPISODE: In this episode of Messy Jesus Business, Sister Julia Walsh talks with authors Judith Valente and Brother Paul Quenon about their motivations behind the book they most recently co-authored. They discuss callings, how it's possible to have several and how each of them came to know their respective callings. They consider what it means "to be," and how vastly that differs from our productivity-focused culture, which Judith says she knew all too well when working as a journalist, where the idea of simply being was a foreign concept. "More, more, better, better. You gotta work all the time you've got to be plugged in all the time," she explains of the mindset. That raises the question: what then, is success? Brother Paul weighs in, "I think success is to be authentic; to live according to your true self, which is...to be a child of God." Top L-R: Judith Valente, Sister Julia Walsh. Bottom: Brother Paul Quenon. Judith, Brother Paul and Sister Julia also explore the inherent messiness of living in community, how the pandemic has served as a spiritual teacher, and how Thomas Merton influenced both of them and the way they live their spirituality. ABOUT THE GUESTS: Brother Paul Quenon and Judith Valente are co-authors of the books: How to Be: a Monk and a Journalist Reflect on Living & Dying, Purpose & Prayer, Forgiveness & Friendship; and The Art of Pausing: Meditations for the Overworked and Overwhelmed. Brother Paul entered the Trappist Abbey of Gethsemani in Kentucky in 1958 at the age of 17, where Thomas Merton was his novice master and spiritual director. He sleeps under the stars each night and is an avid hiker and hill climber. Br. Paul is the author of the award-winning book In Praise of the Useless Life: A Monk's Memoir....as well as nine collections of poetry. He is also a sought-after and inspiring speaker. Judith Valente is a two-time finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in journalism and is the recipient of many awards for her coverage of faith and culture for national PBS-TV's Religion & Ethics NewsWeekly.

How to Be: A Monk and a Journalist Reflect on Living & Dying, Purpose & Prayer, Forgiveness & Friendship by Judith Valente, an award-winning author, journalist and poet, and Brother Paul Quenon, a Trappist monk of the famous Abbey of Gethsemani and an acclaimed poet and memoirist. How to Be is a dialogue in letters between two spiritual seekers — one following a monastic life framed by ancient prayer rhythms and the other a married, professional woman seeking a deeper sense of mindfulness in her busy life. In their letters, they ask universal questions about faith, work, prayer, balance, and meaning – questions that have become particularly relevant in the wake of our pandemic experience. How to Be provides ways to successfully navigate those questions through a spiritual lens. Brother Paul and Valente are popular speakers, retreat and workshop leaders, podcast guests, and media sources in print, radio, and video. Both are available to discuss their book. Interviews at the Abbey outside of Louisville, KY, offer stunning visuals. These are some interesting angles to pursue: § How to Be is a book for seekers, whether starting out or spiritually devout. The authors offer thoughtful, practical ideas for handling conflict, leaving jobs, coping with the unexpected, and dealing with loss, as well as spiritual guidance on prayer, meditation, and living a more contemplative life. § How to Be seeks to preserve the wisdom Brother Paul has gained from 60-plus years in the contemplative life. Monks like Brother Paul are becoming rare. He is also one of the few people alive who personally knew the great spirituality writer Thomas Merton, who was his novice director. § It is unusual for monks in a cloistered order, such as the Trappists, to become close friends with outsiders, especially women. The friendship between Brother Paul and Judith Valente spans more than a decade and has been nurtured through visits and their years of writing letters to one another in which they share their practical and spiritual insights. Judith Valente is a former staff writer for the Washington Post and the Wall Street Journal and a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize in journalism. She is a former correspondent for PBS's Religion & Ethics NewsWeekly and senior correspondent for investigative reporting and long features at the NPR affiliate in central Illinois. She was also a special correspondent covering faith and values and arts and culture for Chicago Public Radio. Valente contributes articles to US Catholic magazine and National Catholic Reporter.

Tackling social issues in today’s world is hard enough for adults, and even harder when you have to explain the issues and injustices we experience and watch to our kids! My guest, Scotty Iseri, is the creator and host of the award-winning family podcast, The Imagine Neighborhood, which is a kid-focused podcast. In this fun podcast for kids, along with promoting social-emotional learning, they teach 4 important pillars: Understanding Identity, the value of diversity, justice and injustice, and activism. The show paves the way for parents to talk to about these big issues even if their kids are at a young age. In this episode we talk about: Teaching kids about their identity and all the things that make up who they are (not just their gender or race) and how unfair it is to be judged for just one part of who you are. The value of diversity and how it makes the world a better place Justice and injustice and how people can be excluded because of their identity (that’s true injustice) How anyone can be an activist and how we have to right injustices How we need to have grace for each other so we can forgive those who are trying to do better and sometimes get it wrong. You can find The Imagination Neighborhood on all podcast providers. Join the Parent Toolbox at www.parent-toolbox for Scotty's gift: Food Fight Activities!

In childhood, Williams and his half-brother James "Pookie" Young received encouragement and tutelage from their uncle, the blues guitarist, songwriter and recording artist J. B. Hutto, and by 1975 the half-siblings had formed the first version of the Blues Imperials. Since 1989, the band's lineup has been Williams (lead guitar and vocals), Michael Garrett (rhythm guitar and vocals), James Young (bass) and Kelly Littleton (drums). Living Blues magazine described the band as "Rough-and-ready South and West Side blues...Ed's swirling, snarling slide guitar work can be riveting, and The Imperials pound out blues-rock riffs and rhythms behind him as if they're overdosing on boogie juice." Guitar Player called the band "a snarling boogie-blues machine." A decade later, Alligator Records offered them the chance to record a track, "Young Thing", for a compilation album, New Bluebloods (1987). Producer and label owner Bruce Iglauer encouraged them to record additional material, and they cut a full album's worth of material at that session, released as Roughhousin' (1986). They then appeared at music festivals and toured widely. Their second album, Chicken, Gravy & Biscuits, was released in 1989, and their third, What You See Is What You Get, in 1992. At this point the group disbanded. Williams issued two solo albums, Keep On Walking, on which he was joined by Dave Weld, a former member of the Blues Imperials, and Who's Been Talking (1998), pairing Williams with Willie Kent. In 1999 the release of Get Wild marked the group's reunion. It was followed by Heads Up (2002), Rattleshake (2006), Full Tilt (2008) and Jump Start (2012). Lil' Ed and the Blues Imperials have appeared multiple times at the Chicago Blues Festival and festivals and clubs around the world. In June 2008, Williams played on Magic Slim's album Midnight Blues. In June 2009, Williams was a guest on the radio quiz show Wait Wait... Don't Tell Me!, produced by Chicago Public Radio and National Public Radio, Lil' Ed and the Blues Imperials have been nominated for eight Blues Music Awards as Band of the Year and have won that award twice.

Will God still love me if I’m a heathen sinner? This week, Sister Penny Costal of the Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence tells her true story of forbidden love in the deep South. As a young boy growing up in a small, religious Mississippi town, she was used to being oppressed by the First Baptist Church’s pastor, Brother Evans - after all, it was the 60’s. But when grandmother Sarah Lucy comes home one Sunday to recount the preacher’s ‘God hates Gays’ sermon, Penny bursts out of the closet and with the help of her young Methodist lover, she enacts her revenge. Hey, what’s that behind the pastor’s choir pit? You might go to Hell for listening to this episode - oh, and Happy LGBTQIA+ Pride month! #Redemption #LoveWins Hosted by Sexual Folklorist Dixie De La Tour Opening Music: 8 Miles Wide by Storm Large Song: Heaven (Troye Sivan) Watch the music video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8VNV__mV38s Esquire says that Bawdy Storytelling is a BEST Sex Podcast! https://www.esquire.com/lifestyle/sex/a46389/best-sex-podcasts/ This episode of the Bawdy Storytelling podcast is brought to you by OMGYes.com - a video series that helps women and other vagina-havers experience more pleasure.

Nothing shakes the feeling of failure like a buttplug dance party, right? When Sarah Newsome decides she wants to dispel her ‘not queer enough’, ‘not kinky enough’ blues, she joins her friend Lindsay on a camping trip to Critical Northwest, a Seattle Burning Man regional event. A Burning Man virgin, Sarah didn’t expect everyone to be so cool and poly, and she feels even more out of place than ever - till Lindsay pulls out a double dose of daring in a ziploc bag. Now everything is sparkly and she’s joining a redheaded lumbersexual on a red light adventure in a canvas s*x yurt. WOW. Sarah floats over to Kevin Bacon camp the next morning to demand a rematch. Will the second time be the charm with this dreamy Zach Galifianakis lookalike - or perhaps it was the drugs after all? Sarah’s gonna have to wade back through those bouncing buttcheeks and ballsacks to know for sure! #Chatterbox Hosted by Sexual Folklorist Dixie De La Tour Opening Music: 8 Miles Wide by Storm Large Song: ‘Going Down’ (Uncensored) by Watsky Watch the video at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q9RS8a44uu0 This episode of the Bawdy Storytelling podcast is brought to you by OMGYes.com - a video series that helps women/vagina-havers experience pleasure.

A Girl Talk throwback episode! This show was recorded live at The Hideout in Chicago on December 27, 2016.

Resources Hate Crimes in Cyberspace by Danielle Keas Citron (Harvard University Press, 2014) Constitutional Coup: Privatization's Threat to the American Republic by Jon D. Michaels (Harvard University Press, 2017) University of Maryland Carey School of Law News Roundup DOJ sues to block AT&T/Tribune Merger The Department of Justice has sued to block AT&T's proposed $85 billion acquisition of Times Warner. The complaint states that the merger would violate Section 7 of the Clayton Act. It refers to AT&T's objection to Comcast's previous acquisition of NBC/Universal, back in 2011, which was also a so-called vertical merger. AT&T argued that a "standard bargaining model" could have been used to show the harmful effect the merger would have had on pricing. If the case reaches the Supreme Court, it will be the first time a vertical merger case has reached the Court since 1972, in the Ford-Autolite case. The Trump administration has been vocal about opposing the AT&T/Time Warner merger and the president himself has railed repeatedly on Twitter about CNN's coverage of his administration. AT&T says it would not rule out using the judicial process in order to obtain correspondence between the White House and the DOJ which would help illustrate that the DOJ's lawsuit is politically motivated. Brian Fung reports in the Washington Post. FCC rolls back media regulations, Lifeline, cracks down on robocalls In its monthly meeting last week, the Federal Communications Commission killed long-standing media ownership rules, including the Newspaper/Broadcast Cross-Ownership rule which, since 1975, had prevented the owner of a tv station from owning a newspaper in the same market. The Commission also eliminated the so-called eight-voices test, which required at least eight independently owned TV stations to remain in the market before any entity could own two stations in the market. Critics say the rules were cancelled simply to pave the way for Sinclair Broadcasting, which has proposed to acquire Tribune Media for $4 billion. Two high-ranking Democrats--Frank Pallone and Elijah Cummings--are calling for an investigation into Ajit Pai's relationship with Sinclair. The Commission also restricted Lifeline support--that's the $9.25 per month subsidy for qualified customers who use it to help pay their internet bill. It restricted that support on tribal lands. The Commission is also seeking comment on a proposed plan to cap Lifeline expenditures. The Commission also voted unanimously to crack down on robocallers by giving phone companies more authority to block annoying phone calls from marketers who play a pre-recorded message when you answer the phone. Also at the November meeting, the Commission voted to expand broadcasters' ability to experiment with the Next Generation Broadcast Standard, which will enable closer targeting of viewers for advertising. The Commission also adopted several other rules and proposed rules ostensibly geared toward stimulating broadband infrastructure investment and deployment. In December, FCC Chair Ajit Pai is expected to overturn the net neutrality rules passed during the Obama administration. Wall Street Journal: Comcast seeks to acquire 201st Century Fox Comcast has joined a long list of companies, including Verizon, that are seeking to buy 21st Century Fox, according to the Wall Street Journal. Fox is looking to sell off everything except its news and sports assets. Verizon and Disney also also rumored to be potential suitors. Federal Elections Commission opens rulemaking on political ads The Federal Elections Commission put out a rulemaking for public comment on revisions to the political ad disclosure rules to apply them to internet companies. The rulemaking follows allegations of Russian efforts to sway the election in favor of Donald Trump by placing ads and sponsored content on on Facebook and Twitter. China's supercomputers surpass the U.S. The U.S. has dropped to second place, behind China, in its total number of super computers. The U.S. has 144 compared to China's 202.

In this six-part series, “The Six Pillars of Security," we’ll explore how companies can stay agile and secure in the face of an ever-evolving threat landscape. According to Gemalto's Breach Level Index 2016 Report, data breaches led to almost 1.4 billion data records being compromised worldwide during 2016, an increase of 86 percent over 2015. And Verizon's 2016 Data Breach Investigations Report found that in 93 percent of cases where data was stolen, systems were compromised in minutes or less. Organizations, meanwhile, took weeks or more to discover that a breach had even occurred — and it was typically customers or law enforcement that sounded the alarm, not their own security measures. Traditional prevention and detection methods are being bypassed, and many organizations either don’t know what to do, or don’t have the right resources in place to advance their security. To keep up with highly skilled and aggressive attackers, we need to move beyond the predictable patterns of network security and static defenses that our cyber adversaries are well-attuned to. Listen to the podcast to learn more. 10 Keys to Data-Centric Security - It is no longer enough to focus our efforts on networks and endpoints. As IT changes continue to occur, organizations need to keep pace and advance their security by focusing on the data itself through the development of a data-centric security program. 7 Key Elements of a Successful Encryption Strategy - It’s imperative to remember that your encryption program — and IT security in general — is a process, not a product. Effective encryption takes time; in addition to careful consideration of data states and encryption techniques, there are seven key elements that can help you build a successful end-to-end approach.

In this episode of And There You Have IT, Cherie, Brian, and James discuss what it means to "Be Tomorrow." According to VMware, “tomorrow’s” all-digital world is quickly approaching. About 20 percent of businesses have fully embraced the cloud and are prepared for “tomorrow”. The rest are still in the “be” stage and are slowly moving towards a hybrid cloud model. VMware predicts a 50/50 split between public and private clouds within the next five to 10 years. Technology strategists have stressed the importance of bridging the digital divide via a hybrid, unified cloud. This model gives enterprises agility – making it easier for them to innovate and stand out from their competitors. Businesses who take advantage of the hybrid cloud will become leaders in their industries, while those that don’t make the move will lag behind. The Top 3 Highlights from VMworld 2016: What Every CIO Should Know - The theme for VMworld 2016 was “Be Tomorrow.” And the event lived up to its promise, giving 23,000 attendees a crystal ball view of the future of cloud. According to VMware, a new era of cloud freedom and control is here. VMware Cross-Cloud Architecture - To help your IT organization drive your enterprise’s digital agenda, the VMware Cross-Cloud Architecture™ provides an easy way to run, manage, connect, and secure apps across clouds and devices in a common operating environment.

My guest this week is Marc Sollinger. Marc is one half of Dead Signals, a podcast production company that produces the modern radio drama podcasts Archive 81 and Deep Vault. In this episode, we're going to take a deep dive into what it takes to plan, write, and produce a modern radio drama. This is part one of a two part series: Next week I'll be interviewing Dan Powell, who handles a lot of the editing, sound design, and music for Dead Signals. Key Takeaways: The most important part of the writing process is collaboration. Audio storytelling is a powerful medium. Work with people you trust and ask them for their feedback. The hardest part of creating a modern radio drama is making time for all the work required. If you're into podcasting, create stories that can only be told through sound. Aaron: Marc Sollinger: Thanks for joining me. Tell me what you do at Dead Signals. My understanding from our brief conversation previously is that you work more on the writing side of things? Marc: Both Dan and I write and contribute to the creative process equally, so both of our roles are really creative. We're both the “idea person.” Aaron: You do a lot of the writing and he does a lot of the editing, but you both contribute equally to the writing process, yeah? Marc: Yeah, and we're both audio professionals. He's an engineer and works at a sound effects library, I work in public radio for Innovation Hub. We both work with sound for our day jobs. It's really fun. The Most Important Part of the Writing Process: Collaboration Aaron: I brought you on because you and Dan recently launched a modern radio drama podcast called The Deep Vault. I like the description you guys wrote: “The Deep Vault is a serialized, seven-episode audio drama set in in the almost-post-apocalyptic United States. “The story follows a group of longtime friends as they journey from the uninhabitable surface world into a mysterious underground bunker in search of safety, shelter, and answers to their past. Robotic servants, tooth-filled monsters, and terrible computers collide within the claustrophobic, steel-reinforced walls of The Deep Vault, a modern day homage to the golden age of sci-fi radio drama.” I want to hear about your background and how you got into audio and radio. Before we get into that, I have to say that the Audible ad read at the end of the first episode of The Deep Vault is one of the most genius things I've ever heard. Good job on that, whoever had that idea. Marc: Listen to the second episode, because it gets crazier. With podcasts that are more host-driven and not fiction, it's usually the hosts talking about how much they love Blue Apron or Squarespace. For us, it felt a little weird to break the world and say, “Hey, it's Marc Sollinger and Daniel Powell, and we'd love you to try out Audible or Blue Apron,” so we came up with the idea of a robot that's not a character in the show. It's just a random robot that's gradually gaining sentience and is really pissed off at his masters. It's fun and hopefully people will enjoy listening to it. The main thing is we wanted it to be fun. Aaron: Mission accomplished. So when did you get started with audio? Marc: I fell in love with audio in high school when I was driving around in my car and I heard a This American Life episode. It was one of those proverbial driveway moments, where I stayed in my car for 30 minutes because the story was so good. (Audio storytelling is a powerful medium.) I feel in love with it and I adore the power of audio documentary and public radio. That's my day job now, but I started listening to older radio dramas like Orson Welles' The Mercury Theatre on the Air. That's really good; start with War of the Worlds. If you're looking for other great audio drama podcasts, AV Club has a good list of creepy radio dramas from the 40s, 50s, and 60s you can check out. Aaron: So you were listening to those and you thought, “I have to figure out how to do this for myself?” Marc: Yeah, I noticed when podcasts were getting big in 2007 that there weren't a lot of audio dramas. There were a couple and there were a lot of audio books released as podcasts, but I didn't feel like there were a lot of podcast audio dramas that were at the same level as stuff from the 40s and 50s. For my college thesis, I made a 10-episode audio drama that I released as a podcast. This was before Dan and I started collaborating, but he was featured as the main actor, playing a nebbish anthropologist who crash lands on an alien world and has to discover a bunch of secret stuff. It's called Transmission and it's still something I'm proud of, but I didn't do any promotion. I fell into the trap of thinking, “This is really good, obviously it'll get big,” which is not a good mindset to be in. It's a Patreon reward for our Patreon page now. Aaron: So you dove in and made a 10-episode podcast series. What kind of experience did you have with audio at that point? Marc: I interned for a summer at Chicago Public Radio's Youth Vocalo, and I studied radio, television, and film in college. I did some work for Nick van der Kolk of Love + Radio. I interned for my local NPR station and I learned a lot about sound from the incomparable Douglass Quinn of Syracuse University. I fell in love with audio by listening to This American Life and old radio serials, but I became someone who could do audio through learning from Douglass Quinn. That shows the importance of having a really good mentor. Aaron: When does Dan come into the picture? Marc: We met in college (Douglas Quinn was his mentor too). Quinn kind of forced our heads together and it turns out we really liked each other. After college, we went our separate ways; I worked for the PBS News Hour and then I moved to Boston to work for Innovation Hub and Dan went to Brooklyn to work for a sound effects library. He came to Boston to visit and we talked about projects we had been thinking about. Then I went to New York to visit him and he was talking about wanting to do an audio drama, something where he would be listening alone to a bunch of weird, freaky tapes. It was a really good idea so I said we should do it together. We brainstormed and came up with an outline. I wrote it, he edited it, but it was a very collaborative process. There's a bunch of really dumb ideas that would have gone into it if he hadn't told me to take them out. Work with people you trust and ask them for their feedback. Aaron: You've got to have someone you can trust to curate and edit what you come up with. Marc: It's a matter of trust. If I really like something and Dan isn't sure about it, even if I don't understand why he doesn't like it, I trust him enough to know that there's something wrong, something that needs to be fixed. Archive 81: Writing, Editing, & Casting Aaron: This podcast you're talking about–where Dan listens to freaky tapes–is called Archive 81. The description for this show is, “Three months ago Daniel Powell vanished. These are the tapes he sent me.” How long did it take you to get all these episodes written, recorded, and edited? What was the preparation process like for Archive 81? Marc: For the writing process, I can write about two episodes a week. Aaron: Part-time on nights and weekends? Marc: Yeah, and I've been a hermit. It's a lot of work. After the episodes are written, we have a two or three week period where we heavily revise it. We script everything out and we usually do a table read over Google voice and we pause and re-write when anything sounds weird. Aaron: Once you've got the script for the episode in a good place and you feel good about it, what happens after that? Studio time? Marc: We recorded all 10 episodes at the same time. I'm glad we did that instead of writing an episode and then recording it, writing an episode, and then recording it. That saved us a lot of time and money. For Archive 81, we got our cast together and then one of our friends let us record in her bedroom. For The Deep Vault, we went to an actual studio. With Archive 81, since it's tape-based, it's a lot of two people talking to each other, so the bedroom worked fine for that. With The Deep Vault, it's more action, adventure-y and there were going to be five people in a room at the same time. You need an actual studio if you have five people in there at the same time. Aaron: So you recorded all 10 episodes of Archive 81 in a bedroom. Were all the voice actors friends of yours? Marc: A mix—some friends, some Craigslist, some family. We pay all our actors, which is something we think is really important. We didn't pay them as much as we would have liked to but we did pay them. Aaron: I noticed that the guy that plays Dan's boss has the same last name as Dan. Is that his father or one of his brothers? Marc: His father. It has a bunch of creepier overtones when you realize it's Dan's actual dad, who turns out to be a really really good actor. The Hardest Part of Creating a Modern Radio Drama: Making Time Aaron: Were there any struggles or hurdles you overcame that stick out to you during producing or recording either one of those shows? Marc: The biggest one is how busy Dan and I are. We're both working full-time jobs or more than full-time jobs. We started Archive 81—writing it, promotion for it, and releasing it—and then as soon as we began to release the episodes, we started to develop The Deep Vault, so there would be no pause between shows. Episode 10 of Archive 81 was released at the same time as the teaser for Deep Vault, then episode one of Deep Vault went out the next week. It's just a lot of work, managing time and pulling through it. We're working on Archive 81 season two now while Dan is still finishing edits for the Deep Vault. We're doing promotion, starting an LLC, working with advertisers, and responding to fans on Twitter. It's just a lot for two people to do. For the most part, we're been really lucky and blessed to work with wonderful actors, and Dan is a wonderful partner. The studio we worked in for the Deep Vault was really great. It comes down to time management and knowing when to say yes to stuff and when to say no to stuff. Aaron: Is one of your goals to take Dead Signals and make it a full-time job? Marc: Maybe. I really enjoy my full-time job, but if the audience was there…The trouble is that it's very difficult to do it unless you're Welcome to Night Veil or you have the backing of Panoply or Giblet. It's something we've discussed, but right now we're not at a point where we could do that. What Would You Do If You Had a Million Dollars in the Bank? Aaron: I was talking to my friend Sean the other day, and discuessed a question: “If we had a million dollars in the bank, what would we do?” Let's say you and Dan had a million dollars in the bank. Would you want to spend most of your time on podcasting, or do you think you'd be happy keeping your day job and working on podcasts on nights and weekends? Marc: If money was no object, I think most people would say, “Let's go to Belize and surf!” For me, it's all about weird creative projects. If we had a million dollars, we'd probably work on creating more interesting things. We'd be able to rent out more time at studios. We'd be able to do a weekly thing instead of a bi-weekly thing (I hate bi-weekly). Aaron: Weekly is great, but with all the work you guys have to do for each episode, I understand why you do bi-weekly. I have a hard time keeping up with my podcast and it's not anywhere close to the kind of work that your shows are. Marc: Maybe if we were doing it full-time we could do it weekly. If I had a million dollars it would be nice to work with other writers and sound designers to do more weird stuff. What's Next for Dead Signals Productions? Aaron: I had a related question, which was, “What are your plans for the future?” but it sounds like you're just going to keep pushing forward. You're working on season two of Archive 81. Are there plans for a season two of Deep Vault? Marc: It depends on how it's received. Deep Vault definitely has an ending. It leaves open the possibility for a season two, but we're very happy with leaving it as a mini series. If everyone is crying out for a season two and gives us a million dollars, we'll make season two. We also have other projects in the pipeline that we're thinking about doing after season two of Archive 81. We're probably going to do something new before we do a season three of Archive 81, if we do a season three. We really like doing new things. One of the reasons why we didn't just plan for four seasons of Archive 81, or even do things in the same universe, we want to broaden the possibilities of audio drama and do interesting new things. We want to make stories that can only be told through sound. Q&A: Michal Wdowiak asks: “When recording the actors separately (even remotely) for a dialogue scene, how do you manage to keep the flow of the scene so it sounds like a real conversation? Do you ever record dialog scenes separately (remotely)?” Marc: No, we don't. If it's supposed to be a conversation, they've got to be in the same room. That's one of our big priorities for our actors, they have to be in New York. You can splice stuff in, but I really don't think you get the same performance when two people are not talking to each other. The actor's performances feed off each other and having them in the same room is really important. Virginia Houser asked: “How much effort and planning do you put into creating your own sound effects for your stories, if at all? Is it worth the time to create or add sound effects? If the go-to is using pre-recorded effects from online, what resources do you use to find those sound bites?” Marc: We do a mix between creating our own sound effects and using effects from sound libraries. Dan is a manager at an online sound effects library called Soundsnap, which is helpful. He can get whatever he needs there, but we do prefer making our own sound effects so we can get the exact sound we want. Before we wrap up, I want to say that it's a really interesting time for audio drama and podcasts. I think we're on the cusp of something. Welcome to Night Veil, The Black Tapes, Lime town, The Message, and The Truth were all the first mainstream audio dramas to be released as podcasts, and it's a really good time to start one yourself. If you want to start an audio drama, don't just do it because you want to start a TV show and you don't want to spend a lot of money. If you're really passionate about it, get started now; companies are starting to invest money in these podcasts. It's a lot of work, though, so be prepared to put some time into it if you want to succeed. You can head over to their Patreon page to learn more about Marc and Dan and their podcasts. Stay tuned, next week I'll be talking audio production and sound design with Marc's podcasting partner, Dan Powell.

It’s just a lot of work, managing time and pulling through it. We’re working on Archive 81 season two now while Dan is still finishing edits for the Deep Vault. We’re doing promotion, starting an LLC, working with advertisers, and responding to fans on Twitter. It’s just a lot for two people to do.For the most part, we’re been really lucky and blessed to work with wonderful actors, and Dan is a wonderful partner. The studio we worked in for the Deep Vault was really great. It comes down to time management and knowing when to say yes to stuff and when to say no to stuff.Aaron: Is one of your goals to take Dead Signals and make it a full-time job?Marc: Maybe. I really enjoy my full-time job, but if the audience was there…The trouble is that it’s very difficult to do it unless you’re Welcome to Night Veil or you have the backing of Panoply or Giblet. It’s something we’ve discussed, but right now we’re not at a point where we could do that.What Would You Do If You Had a Million Dollars in the Bank?Aaron: I was talking to my friend Sean the other day, and discuessed a question: “If we had a million dollars in the bank, what would we do?”Let’s say you and Dan had a million dollars in the bank. Would you want to spend most of your time on podcasting, or do you think you’d be happy keeping your day job and working on podcasts on nights and weekends?Marc: If money was no object, I think most people would say, “Let’s go to Belize and surf!” For me, it’s all about weird creative projects. If we had a million dollars, we’d probably work on creating more interesting things. We’d be able to rent out more time at studios. We’d be able to do a weekly thing instead of a bi-weekly thing (I hate bi-weekly).Aaron: Weekly is great, but with all the work you guys have to do for each episode, I understand why you do bi-weekly. I have a hard time keeping up with my podcast and it’s not anywhere close to the kind of work that your shows are.Marc: Maybe if we were doing it full-time we could do it weekly. If I had a million dollars it would be nice to work with other writers and sound designers to do more weird stuff.What’s Next for Dead Signals Productions?Aaron: I had a related question, which was, “What are your plans for the future?” but it sounds like you’re just going to keep pushing forward. You’re working on season two of Archive 81. Are there plans for a season two of Deep Vault?Marc: It depends on how it’s received. Deep Vault definitely has an ending. It leaves open the possibility for a season two, but we’re very happy with leaving it as a mini series. If everyone is crying out for a season two and gives us a million dollars, we’ll make season two. We also have other projects in the pipeline that we’re thinking about doing after season two of Archive 81.We’re probably going to do something new before we do a season three of Archive 81, if we do a season three. We really like doing new things.One of the reasons why we didn’t just plan for four seasons of Archive 81, or even do things in the same universe, we want to broaden the possibilities of audio drama and do interesting new things. We want to make stories that can only be told through sound.Q&A:Michal Wdowiak asks: “When recording the actors separately (even remotely) for a dialogue scene, how do you manage to keep the flow of the scene so it sounds like a real conversation? Do you ever record dialog scenes separately (remotely)?”Marc: No, we don’t. If it’s supposed to be a conversation, they’ve got to be in the same room. That’s one of our big priorities for our actors, they have to be in New York.You can splice stuff in, but I really don’t think you get the same performance when two people are not talking to each other. The actor’s performances feed off each other and having them in the same room is really important.Virginia Houser asked: “How much effort and planning do you put into creating your own sound effects for your stories, if at all? Is it worth the time to create or add sound effects? If the go-to is using pre-recorded effects from online, what resources do you use to find those sound bites?”Marc: We do a mix between creating our own sound effects and using effects from sound libraries. Dan is a manager at an online sound effects library called Soundsnap, which is helpful. He can get whatever he needs there, but we do prefer making our own sound effects so we can get the exact sound we want.Before we wrap up, I want to say that it’s a really interesting time for audio drama and podcasts. I think we’re on the cusp of something. Welcome to Night Veil, The Black Tapes, Lime town, The Message, and The Truth were all the first mainstream audio dramas to be released as podcasts, and it’s a really good time to start one yourself. If you want to start an audio drama, don’t just do it because you want to start a TV show and you don’t want to spend a lot of money. If you’re really passionate about it, get started now; companies are starting to invest money in these podcasts. It’s a lot of work, though, so be prepared to put some time into it if you want to succeed.You can head over to their Patreon page to learn more about Marc and Dan and their podcasts.Stay tuned, next week I’ll be talking audio production and sound design with Marc’s podcasting partner, Dan Powell.Links:Dead Signals ProductionsArchive 81Deep VaultPodcast: https://podcastingwithaaron.comTwitter: https://twitter.com/aaronpodcastingYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/aarondowdBlog: https://www.aarondowd.comRecommended Gear: https://kit.co/podcastingwithaaron

Did you know There's a U.S. district court judge in Alabama who was arrested in August after his wife called 9-1-1 crying and being audibly beaten by her husband? The police report says the good judge blodied the woman's face and legs and dragged her around the room by her hair. On top of that, his first wife reports he did much the same to her during their marriage. So what's happening? What happens much too often in these cases: he took a plea deal that requires him to see a counsellor once a week for 24 weeks and the whole thing disappears from his record. The community wants him out. The fact is, this man was appointed a judge for life and unless he resigns or is impeached by the U.S. congress, he will still be on the bench hearing cases involving domestic violence and other crimes. And he will sit in judgement of others while his own messy background goes away. Huh? That's right, no jail time, no conviction, even, eventually, no record of arrest. Is this a guy you want to stand before in a court of law? This week we are welcoming Staci Zaretsky, an editor of ABOVE the Law, and a contributor to other legal publications such as Judgepedia, Lawyerist, and Ms. JD. She's been featired on various TV and radio programs including CNBC's Power Lunch, HuffPost Live, and Chicago Public Radio. Staci is a gruaduate of Lehigh University and Western New England University School of Law. She has been published in the Western New England Law Review. She is going to help us figure out what this case is about, how it compares to other domestic violence cases, and what's going on with Judge Mark Fuller.

Listener Greg Norland sent me a note to let me know about an intriguing podcast episode of the Chicago Public Radio's This American Life show that he had recently heard. Song: Mystery of the Dunbarâs Child by Richard "Rabbitt" Brown. Here are a few pieces of the puzzle that Bobby Dunbar's granddaughter, Margaret Dunbar Cutright likely looked to when working on finding the truth about her grandfather. From The Constitution newspaper, in Atlanta, GA. On April 25, 1913 The of Opelusas City, in Fort Landry, Louisianna Look for Percy and Lessie Dunbar, and their two children Robert age 11 and Alonozo age 9. Or were they both their children? Be sure and take a look at the census during the last few minutes of The Ghost of Bobby Dunbar as they give the ending to the story and what happened to the people involved. GEM: Prison Records: My cousin Carolyn Ender shares her journey in locating the prison records for a man named George Jump who married her grand father's sister. Carolyn's Research Approach: Try to determine the facility / town where you think they served their time. Locate birth & death dates & the county where they lived during the suspected timeframe. Contact the Genealogical & Historical Society for that county and ask where you might find inmate records. Possibly the closest Corrections Dept. Send a letter to the Corrections Dept. You may be directed to the Bureau of Prisons (www.bop.gov) if it is a federal crime. Complete a Freedom of Information Act request form & provide copy of the death certificate. (Listen to and for more information of the FOIA.) The BOP may refer you to NARA. They gave Carolyn a particular file # to ask for. NARA requires written consent from the inmate's family members or they black out the info regarding family members. They will require payment for copying. If you know the inmate served in a Federal institution for a Federal crime, you can go straight to the Bureau of Prisons. Consideration will have to be given to whether or not the inmate is deceased, how long he's been deceased, are his children living etc. For State records, you could probably start with that state's Department of Corrections.

Willie’s first recording was a local production with Alabama bluesman “Birmingham” George Conner, titled Walkin’ the Walk, Talkin’ the Talk. This CD created an unexpected amount of interest, and promoted reviewer Gordon Baxter to state, “No label, no catalog number, and definitely no doubt about it, Walkin’ The Walk Talkin’ The Talk will feature in my top 10 albums of 2000.” I Am the Blues, Willie’s next CD, was a solo project, produced by Willie King in collaboration with the Alabama Blues Project. Again, despite being independently produced and initially only locally distribute, this album gained a lot of critical acclaim. This CD was a “Top 10 Album of 2000” for Niles Frantz, host to Chicago Public Radio’s Comin’ Home program. He described it as “Howlin’ Wolf meets B.B. King in the Alabama backwoods. The real deal . . . brilliant.” Jim O’Neal eventually caught up with Willie King to record Freedom Creek, Willie King’s debut album on Rooster Blues Records. With international distribution, this was King’s powerful introduction into the wider music and blues world. Not only was the album acclaimed by critics worldwide, it also received awards from Living Blues Magazine for Best Male Blues Artist (2001), Best Blues Album (2000) and Best Contemporary Blues Album (2000). http://www.willie-king.com/
