Send us a text"American Idol" winner Abi Carter called in to talk about her appearance on PBS's "A Capitol Fourth," her new album, and her upcoming appearance in Chicago at the Beat Kitchen on October 23rd.ABI CARTERBIO After charming judges, audiences, and voters during her journey on Season 22 of American Idol, singer-songwriter Abi Carter went from hopeful auditioner to season winner in a matter of weeks. With the release of her 2024 album, ghosts in the backyard, the Coachella Valley native officially introduced herself as a confident, layered artist in her own right.  The nostalgia-ridden 10-track LP is a narrative, story-driven collection of music that allows listeners to get to know the person behind the powerful voice that won over millions during her Idol journey. Abi wrote on every song on the project, processing her own youth from a distance in the hopes that others might feel encouraged in their own journeys.  “When I wrote this album, it was therapy for myself,” Abi said. “I was trying to work through what I was feeling and thinking, and it was cathartic for me. If other people can feel that and relate to my emotions, that would be ‘mission accomplished' — even if it just reaches one person.”  The second-oldest in a family of seven kids, Abi was raised in a musical household. Growing up, she sang just about anywhere she could, but it was learning piano that changed the trajectory of her life. Her skill on the instrument is near virtuosic and remains infused into every aspect of her music-making process, including the genre-blending elements of ghosts in the backyard. Abi refuses to let herself be boxed in. She embraces influences like Phoebe Bridgers, Manchester Orchestra, Gracie Abrams, and Renee Rapp, playing with indie-pop, folk, and cinematic drama throughout her discography. Regardless of genre elements, it's the raw earnestness to Abi's voice that consistently sets her apart — it's something that can only be informed by performing from the very bottom of one's soul. Abi is the rare artist that exists in the crossover of being born with natural talent and having the technical skill set to back it up.   “I believe in the things I sing,” she confirms. “I try not to sing just because it sounds pretty; the best singers connect with what they're saying. That's what moves people.” 

In this episode, we dive deep with repeat guest Dr. Sadie Allison, pioneering sexologist and bestselling author of Ride 'Em Cowgirl, who's been helping people tap into their sexuality for 25 years. She has been featured on The Howard Stern Show, Discovery Health, Playboy Radio, and in Cosmopolitan and has been a guest on over 1,000 radio shows and podcasts.  In this episode, you'll learn: `How Dr. Sadie became the “penis genius” and a pioneer in sex education (and what inspired her iconic books) The most common fears and challenges people face when it comes to “getting on top”—and how to overcome them without breaking a sweat (or a hip) The crucial but often-overlooked role of foreplay, arousal, lubrication, and entry—why the beginning can make or break the ride Underrated sex positions that can totally transform your pleasure (plus, Dr. Sadie's personal favorites!) The one riding technique everyone should know for mind-blowing penetration Dr. Sadie's compassionate advice for women who experience pain, dryness, or discomfort—plus body-safe ways to keep intimacy hot and satisfying How to take control of your own orgasm while on top—and exactly what to do to make it happen The best sex toys to add a little extra bounce to your ride Why tune in? Whether you're a riding rookie or looking to level up your “bucking” (aka fucking) game, this episode is packed with practical tips, playful wisdom, and zero shame. You'll walk away with more confidence, more creativity, and the know-how to make your ride a wild one—for both you and your partner.

Sonny Von Cleveland: Vocalizing Our Pain to Heal | The Hopeaholics Podcast Sonny Von Cleveland—a man who turned a life marked by profound trauma into a beacon of hope and redemption. From a childhood scarred by molestation beginning at age three, a felony charge at seven, and a harrowing prison sentence at 16, Sonny's story is one of survival against unimaginable odds. He opens up about enduring a violent prison environment, including a brutal assault in his first week, and how he adopted a gang mentality to survive, only to face a pivotal moment in solitary confinement in 2004 after a drug-fueled crime spree landed him back behind bars. A mentor's persistent question—“Why are you so angry?”—sparked a 19-month transformation, teaching Sonny emotional intelligence, forgiveness, and the power of vocalizing pain through writing forgiveness letters and reading Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl. Emerging from prison in 2016 at age 35, Sonny built a music career, signed with Ferocious Records, and later pivoted to YouTube success, only to face new challenges, including betrayal and the loss of his channel. Now married to a woman he met through a podcast, Sonny runs Frisky Business, the only cat café in the Coachella Valley, and the Von Cleveland Foundation, while speaking at schools and juvenile halls to break cycles of abuse. He shares his upcoming 22-city U.S. tour, “Conversations of Redemption,” starting July 1, where he'll explore city traumas and invite people to share their stories, partnered with Operation Light Shine to combat child sex abuse material. This episode is a testament to the human spirit's resilience, showing that no matter how dark the past, healing is possible through vulnerability and purpose.#thehopeaholics #redemption #recovery #AlcoholAddiction #addictionrecoverypodcast  #wedorecover  #SobrietyJourney #MyStory #RecoveryIsPossible #Hope #wedorecover Join our patreon to get access to an EXTRA EPISODE every week of ‘Off the Record', exclusive content, a thriving recovery community, and opportunities to be featured on the podcast. https://patreon.com/TheHopeaholics Follow the Hopeaholics on our Socials:https://www.instagram.com/thehopeaholics https://linktr.ee/thehopeaholicsBuy Merch: https://thehopeaholics.myshopify.comVisit our Treatment Centers: https://www.hopebythesea.comIf you or a loved one needs help, please call or text 949-615-8588.

On this episode of the California Now Podcast, host Soterios Johnson digs into the Golden State's dynamic and diverse restaurants with three experts who know the local food scene inside and out. First, Johnson chats with Elina Shatkin, food journalist and producer of KCRW's Good Food in Los Angeles. Shatkin shares some of her favorite restaurants and foodie neighborhoods across the City of Angels. Shatkin runs the full gamut of good eats, from L.A. institutions to standout sandwich shops and high-end spots. “I just want to give people a good time and help them discover something delicious,” she says. She also takes listeners east, highlighting her favorite newcomers and old-school dining establishments in Palm Springs and the Coachella Valley. Next, Johnson welcomes Mackenzie Chung Fegan and Cesar Hernandez, food critics at the San Francisco Chronicle and the duo behind the paper's much-anticipated Top 100 Restaurants list. They reflect on their process of curating the list and their goal to highlight culinary excellence across price points, cuisines, and regions—from Oakland to San Jose to Healdsburg. “We wanted to make sure that there were plenty of affordable restaurants on this list,” says Fegan, “that it wasn't just a list of places to eat out for special occasions.” Hernandez echoes this sentiment, emphasizing the value of lifting up both legacy and new restaurants. “We also wanted to represent places that have been around for at least 10 or 15 years instead of just the ones that are new.” Together, the critics highlight standout picks, ranging from local taco shops to classic Bay Area mainstays and Michelin-starred meals.
