Recorded live at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts in mid-May of 2026, today's show begins with the meditative, beautifully realized “In The Quiet Of The Forest”, an unusual, evocative piece featuring a top-notch vocal from Mariam. “Luminously Shining Bright” is a languid yet powerful minor folk ballad with beautiful chord changes and another inspired vocal and “Oh Golden Light” is a rich, harmonically lush song, weaving Mariam's precise, soaring vocal with tight, swinging congas, imaginative, ambitious piano and tight, lustrous ukulele work and featuring a fantastical flute coda. “This Is The Way” is a fine, expanded take on the track from Mariam's “Release” LP built on a rock-solid foundation of throbbing, dramatic Native drum from Craig. “Hold To Your Essence” is a fascinating piece featuring Mariam's kalimba as the defining instrument around which Bob constructs a rich, complex harmonic framework which, along with Craig's metronomic congas, support Mariam's inspired, spacious vocal and Native flute dialogues. “Spiraling Portal” is a mystical, goosebump-inducing eldritch forest song featuring Mariam's timeless, chiming mandolin, tiptoe-ing, darkling piano and earthy, pulsating congas and “Turn And Face The Wind” grows slowly and patiently from the embers of “Portal” into a lush, shifting, psychedelic, sonically enormous tapestry into which each member of the ensemble interject languid melodic phrases and fade back into the cloth of the piece in turn. We close today's show with the beautifully played blues “Oh, Let's All Be Grateful” featuring earthy Native drum, a fine vocal and harmonica conversation from Mariam and inspired fat-fingered piano from Bob.

Recorded live at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts in the middle of May 2026, today's show begins with the beautiful summer celebration “Down By The River”, a relaxed stream-of-consciousness tone poem with a peaceful reverie of a vocal by Mariam and “Take Me Down Inside My Soul” is a quiet, reverent song outlined by Mariam's whispering acoustic guitar and deeply felt vocal, Craig's throbbing Native drum and gospel piano from Bob. The band performs an energized, evocative take of Mariam's “Vision Quest” from the eponymous 2016 LP that features Mariam's dancing marimba braided into a tapestry of grooving congas and minimalist piano. “There's A Fire Between The Realms Of Light” is a mysterious, swirling folk song led by Mariam's chiming mandolin and powerful, pagan forest lyric, a rich, epic piece that dances through three separate movements from major to minor like the passage of a summer day into dusk. The band presents a beautiful, emotional reading of Mariam's “Sail On” from her “Vision Quest” LP that Mariam leads with her nylon string guitar “Leonardo” and the ensemble next takes on Mariam's “All Life Unfolds”, re-imagined as a minor theme which yields a very different song indeed, from Craig's heartbeat Native drum to Bob's completely upended minor interpretations to Mariam's ad libbed poetry. “Aloha Hey” is a beautiful, bright Hawaiian tune by Mariam appropriately decorated with her delicate soprano ukulele and reggae-based accompaniment from the ensemble and we conclude today's session with “Let's Hold Steady”, a deeply felt song with a lovely vocal from Mariam and a bittersweet, evocative musical stage from the ensemble.

Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #665 is an hour of dynamic, visionary acoustic improvised music played by The Gaea Star Band with Mariam Massaro on vocals, Native flute, shruti box, mandolin, 6- and 12-string acoustic guitars, ukulele and Tibetan bowls, Bob Sherwood on piano, Craig Harris on congas and Native drum and this week's special guest guitarist Aramis Esteves on electric and classical guitars. Recorded live at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts in mid-April of 2026, today's show begins with the languid, mystical raga “So Alive”, a meditative piece underpinned by Mariam's chiming DADGAD-tuned Martin 12-string acoustic and featuring fine atmospheric electric guitar textures from Aramis. “A Tiny Whispering From The Depths Of Your Heart” continues the drone vibe with more 12-string from Mariam with languid, imaginative contributions from the ensemble over Craig's rock steady heartbeat Native drum. Completing today's tryptich of raga-type pieces is the gorgeously mysterious “Full Moonlight”, a compelling, moving piece that capitalizes on the themes expressed in the first two pieces, bringing the song cycle to a dramatic, concise and powerfully prayerful climax. “Shining Brightly” shakes up today's mood, showing up as a Led Zeppelin-esque pop rock song down to Mariam's modal melody and expressive, forward mandolin and the “riff” structure of Bob and Aramis' Eastern-inflected unisons. The interlocked “There's A River” and “Everyone Feel All Right” form a contemplative tone poem underpinned by Mariam's relaxed, droning shruti box and unhurried accompaniment as Aramis puts the electric guitar aside for mellow, whispering nylon string guitar textures. Next, the band picks up Mariam's powerful “Restonre” from the “Release” LP and converts this environmental anthem into a powerfully restrained earth prayer with a powerful vocal from Mariam accentuated by the tight, dancing framework of Mariam's acoustic guitar and Aramis' earthy nylon string. “Your Eyes Shine”, Mariam's “Smooth Sailin' Love Songs” LP standout is reimagined as a sultry ballad with a smooth, languid vocal from Mariam over a richly choreographed, varied accompaniment. We complete today's show with an ambitious, energized take on Mariam's “We Call In The Elements”, a multi-movement exploration if this rich, elemental piece featuring racing ukulele, tight nylon string guitar, fundamental Native drum and every-mutating, powerfully minimalist piano.

Mastering the Digital Newsroom: Visual Storytelling and AI-Ready PR with Craig HarrisIn a recent episode of The Thoughtful Entrepreneur Podcast, host Josh Elledge sat down with Craig Harris, the founder of Lookatmedia, to discuss the critical evolution of public relations in an era plagued by misinformation and "pink slime" news. As traditional journalism faces unprecedented challenges from AI-generated content, businesses must find new ways to establish authority and provide journalists with the verified assets they need to tell accurate stories. Their conversation explores how visual storytelling and automated media centers are democratizing PR, allowing organizations of all sizes to move beyond simple press releases and build high-trust relationships with the media.The Architecture of Trust: Building an AI-Friendly Media PowerhouseThe modern media landscape is currently caught in a crossfire between rapid AI content generation and a massive decline in public trust, making the role of the corporate newsroom more vital than ever. Craig Harris explains that most companies fail to support journalists because their media centers are outdated, gatekept by forms, or entirely devoid of high-resolution visual assets. To succeed in this environment, a business must treat its newsroom as a "magazine-style" resource—a one-stop shop where journalists can instantly download high-quality images, infographics, and videos without administrative friction. By providing these sourceable materials, organizations not only increase their chances of coverage but also ensure that the narrative remains accurate, even as it is consumed by the AI models that now act as digital gatekeepers.As news consumption shifts toward Large Language Models (LLMs) like ChatGPT, the way organizations structure their information is becoming as important as the information itself. By the end of 2024, a significant portion of the public will receive their news through AI-generated summaries rather than direct website visits, making "AI-readiness" a mandatory PR requirement. This means businesses must optimize their content with clear metadata and structured summaries that AI can easily interpret and relay. Craig highlights that by using proprietary, high-accuracy language models within a dedicated PR platform, companies can ensure their data remains legally compliant and free from the "hallucinations" that plague mainstream AI, protecting their brand reputation in a world of automated answers.Ultimately, the democratization of PR through automation allows small and medium-sized enterprises to compete on a global stage previously reserved for firms with massive budgets. Platforms like Lookatmedia automate the heavy lifting of media targeting and press release distribution, providing access to hundreds of thousands of verified journalist contacts. For the founder or marketing leader, the strategy should center on consistency and transparency; by regularly updating a visually rich media center and focusing on local community connections, even the smallest brand can establish itself as a trusted authority. In a landscape where anyone can generate a story, the winners will be those who provide the most reliable, accessible, and visually compelling evidence of their impact.About Craig HarrisCraig Harris is the founder of Lookatmedia and a lifelong student of information behavior and media trends.

Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #662 is another hour of visionary acoustic improvised music from The Gaea Star Band with Mariam Massaro on vocals, Native flute, Celtic harp, ukulele, acoustic guitar, shruti box and harmonica, Bob Sherwood on piano and vocals and Craig Harris on congas and Native drum. Recorded live at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts in mid-March of 2026, today's show begins with the reverently peaceful “Golden Maiden Of Peace”, a beautiful Native-influenced, atmospheric piece with a fine vocal and inspired Native flute excursions from Mariam. “Whatever It Takes” jazzy, breathless waltz featuring another touching, penetrating vocal from Mariam and swinging, imaginative piano from Bob and “The Greater Ways Of All” begins as a mystical raga built on Mariam's shruti box drone and soaring Native flute as it slowly builds into a wide-ranging, innovate composition that skirts jazz and classical to support Mariam's powerful vocal. “I Only Want To Do What My Soul Loves To” grows slowly out of the previous piece and features Mariam's chiming Celtic harp, throbbing Native drum, restless classical piano and more powerful poetry from Mariam. “Rays Of Light Following Me” is a gorgeous, restless, gospel-inflected ballad that balances uneasily between major and minor to convey the balance of light and dark. “We Call In The Wind” is a classic invocation from Mariam and today we reinvent it in a new key, swirling and languid, an intoxicating blend of congas, restless, inventive piano, chiming mandolin and an unhurried, contemplative vocal. “The Fragrance Of Life” is a compelling, powerful gospel blues number characterized by Mariam's full-of-feeling harmonica and the authoritatize plagal cadences of Bob's piano and we complete today's show with the beautiful “When You Touch Me”, a sweet 50's inflected song from Mariam's “Smooth Sailin' Love Songs” LP featuring tight work from the ensemble as well as background harmonies from Bob.

Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #653 is an hour of improvised visionary acoustic music played by The Gaea Star Band with Mariam Massaro on vocals, Native flute, dulcimer, harmonica, ukulele, Celtic harp, shruti box, acoustic guitar and mandolin, Bob Sherwood on piano and Craig Harris on congas and Native drum. Recorded live at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts in early January of 2026, today's show begins with the compelling drive of “Drams Made Manifest”, an earthy rocker steered by Mariam's powerful lyric and chiming dulcimer before yielding to the gentle, melancholic “Swirling Eddies”, a pretty acoustic guitar ballad that gathers intensity with Craig's driving congas and Bob's focused, composed piano. “Medicine Of The Forest” is a somber, prayerful raga underpinned by Mariam's droning shruti box to which the ensemble adds more composed, thematic piano in Bob's Prokofiev mode and the deep thrum on Craig's Native drum as well as a soaring, inspiring vocal from Mariam. Mariam picks up her airy ukulele for the skipping, prayerful “Windy, Windy”, a shifting, darkening piece with tight playing from the group and “Peace Begins With Me” is a mystical, evocative song built on Mariam's chiming mandolin and Craig's deep heartbeat with a granitic, intense piano figure from Bob. Mariam wields her Native flute with long, arching phrases for the sparse, minimalist “Great Awakening”, an intense, cathedral-like song that unwinds mysteriously until yielding to the tight, swinging blues “Memories” a fine workout with Mariam carrying on a compelling harmonica and vocal performance, winding around Bob's Ray Charles-inspired 12-bar. Today's last song is the memorable “The Force Within”, a fine, burnished requiem with a soaring, mysterious lyric from Mariam and a strange, beautiful, repeating piano motif from Bob.

Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #650 is an hour of dynamic, inspired, visionary acoustic improvised music played by The Gaea Star Band with Mariam Massaro on vocals, Native flute, Celtic harp, double flute, acoustic guitar, mandolin and 4- and 8-string ukulele, Bob Sherwood on piano and Craig Harris on Native drum and congas. Recorded live at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts in mid-December of 2025, today's show begins with the meditative, impressionistic “Living In The Bliss”, a tone poem with soaring Native flute and fundamental, earthy accompaniment before we move into the upbeat, joyful, spacious “Rising”, a fine folk air with a gorgeous vocal from Mariam above an effervescent accompaniment of galloping congas, chiming ukulele and rich, burnished piano chords that unhurriedly explores and inspires. “To The Crystalline Temples Of Light” is a deeply emotional, mystical air driven along by Mariam's chiming, eldritch mandolin, overtone-soaked double flute and Bob's romantic, Prokofiev-like circular minor figure that lingers after the music ends. “Gather Together” is a prayer of peace and unity from the “Gaea Star Crystal” album that the ensemble portrays as a staid, formal opera aria with tight acoustic guitar work, imaginative piano and a foundational conga groove. “Jophy” is a character to whom Mariam has turned to during several episodes, a monkey who finds a purple flower in a “Jabarandi” tree and the ensemble illustrate the tale in yet another Prokofiev homage, this time to the narrative, onomatopoetic embodiment of characters through music.
