DÉPÊCHE MODE—Viscose Journal calls itself “a journal for fashion criticism” which sounds like a simple enough—and niche enough—premise for a magazine. Founded by Jeppe Ugelvig in Copenhagen and New York in 2021, Viscose has quickly become a vital touchpoint in the fashion world. And it has evolved into something far more complicated than what it still calls itself.In many ways, Ugelvig and his team have created a magazine that is a pure distillation of what a magazine can be. Because every issue of the publication is different—in form and shape and style. In other words, this is a magazine without a literal template. The first issue was called a “bagazine” and came in the form of a crocodile skin handbag. Another issue featured a garment label. And the current issue comes with a cover in the form of a cut-out of a perfume box. The magazine feels like “an ongoing thought process,” not just with the subject of fashion but with the idea of making a magazine itself. And in this sense, it is a mirror not just to the disciplined anarchy of the fashion industry but also into the making of an independent magazine in the 21st century. And that means thinking about the brand, about events, about audience, about the future as a media hub. And that's a lot of thinking.—This episode is made possible by our friends at Freeport Press.

YoutubeFacebookXInstagramBioNORTHERN KENTUCKY – Orchid in the Ivy, the hard-hitting alternative rock triofronted by Brett Scharf, is turning heads with the re-release of their fiery, pop-punkrendition of “Beds Are Burning.” Originally recorded some time ago, the band recentlyremixed and relaunched the track to pave the way for their upcoming five-songEP—proving that rock is far from dead and Scharf's creative fire is still blazing.“We did a new mix,” says Scharf of the Midnight Oil classic. “We kinda did it a whileago, and we basically did a whole remix... people will maybe recognize it a little bit andthen kinda get your feet wet again with it—and then go with the five song EP after that.”The result? A faster, sharper, and more aggressive version of the politically chargedanthem—reborn through Orchid in the Ivy's melodic punk-rock lens. “I always thought ithad a great groove to it,” Scharf explains. “I was messing around with it one day andjust thought, ‘God, if we sped this up, this would be more like almost a punk rock tune.' Idon't think they realized how kind of heavy and punk rock that song could actually be.”For Scharf, who once toured alongside now-household names like Fall Out Boy andMotion City Soundtrack in his early band Spindle, Orchid in the Ivy represents a rebirth.After years of navigating the ups and downs of multiple projects, including RosemaryDevice, Scharf stepped into the role of lead singer “more out of necessity than anythingelse.” That unplanned shift uncovered a sound—and voice—that finally felt right.“I put some vocals down on a couple songs and asked my drummer what he thought.He liked it, and we just kept going forward that way,” says Scharf.Since forming in 2013, Orchid in the Ivy has remained fiercely self-sufficient. The bandrecords everything at Scharf's own studio, allowing them the space to experiment andevolve. “We were trying to really find out our sound,” Scharf says. “I think in the last fiveor six years, we really found our voice.”That voice blends the emotional punch of Brand New's The Devil and God Are RagingInside Me with the melodic grit of Alkaline Trio's Crimson and the urgency of RiseAgainst. The upcoming EP, while not including “Beds Are Burning,” follows hot on itsheels, with singles set to roll out every six to eight weeks.“There's a little more emotion involved in this one,” Scharf notes of the new material.“The stuff I've been writing for this EP—and even the next one—is just a little morepersonal. With everything going on in the world, it just seems like a chaotic time.”Though Scharf's journey has spanned decades and many stages, his passion hasnever faded. “The older I got, the better the writing got,” he says. “There's always beenthat inspiration of finding new music, being creative. That's always been a passion ofmine.”And for fans of raw, heartfelt rock music, the message is clear. “Rock's not dead,”Scharf insists. “I hope we can burst through the scene and break some barriers again.There's still a huge audience out there—and just because major labels aren't signing it,doesn't mean they're not there. That's what rock has always been about: breaking downbarriers.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.
Spotify Dummy Thick Music Video Tidal Instagram PageBioSouthern positive rapper BamsterG's latest single, “Dummy Thick,” is a banger intended to bringgood summer vibes to all the men and ladies in the club — but especially the ladies.Thick, of course, is a slang term used as a compliment for curvy women. The addition of dummyadds a superlative, in tribute to the women with even more of that something special.“I wanted to make a song to the touch hearts of all the good-lookin' ladies who feel like they gotthat big ‘ba-donkey-donk,'” BamsterG laughs. “It's a fun track, but it's also player. It's cool, calm,confident.” The beats were produced by Atlanta-based producers Mercy Beatz and K-Rab (theoriginator of snap music), giving the track an upbeat, club-ready bounce.BamsterG wants his music to celebrate the positive aspects of life, and he calls his musicmotivational hip hop. “I try to motivate people to do better and to be happy,” he says. “It's nopoint in being sad, man, we only live once. It's time to get out of that heartbreak, get out of thispredicament, and try to turn that negativity into positivity.”The artist's roots play a role in his music. While he now lives in the city of Chattanooga, hishometown is Sweetwater, Tennessee, a place that he says is “very country.” From Sweetwaterto Chattanooga, to collaborations with producers in Atlanta, a southern flavor is woven into hissound and style.The name “BamsterG” itself is a family affair. “My dad has called me Bam Bam since I was atoddler, cause I bammed on everything like Bam-Bam in The Flintstones,” he explains. “Then itbecame Bamster from all the sports I played: football, basketball, wrestling. The G is from mylast name, Goodlow.”Additionally, he credits his father, a musician known as John Wayne (real name StacyGoodlow), for initially inspiring him to begin creating music. “He had a home studio, and I wasalways around it,” BamsterG says. “He's a big part of why I do this.” Other influences includeFuture, Rylo Rodriguez, NoCap, Young Thug and many more.In terms of creative process, sometimes BamsterG starts by writing lines of lyrics, while othertimes he is inspired by a beat and begins freestyling. And sometimes, the process is morecollaborative, involving several members of his creative team.In addition to his father, that team includes Drew Madden, a Chattanooga-based producer he'sbeen working with since 2019. His cousin, Atlanta rapper LDB Justo, is a close collaborator, partof the Lavish Dope Boyz Entertainment label. “You've got to have a team,” he says. “If you don'thave a team behind you, it's really hard to get up.”With his team behind him, consistency is the plan moving forward for BamsterG. He has moresingles on the way, including a follow-up single next month and live performances coming soon.“We're releasing singles one after the other,” he says. “I've got a vault ready. Not just for thisyear, but years to come.”His ultimate hope? “To make people feel good about themselves. Ladies, men, everybody. Andto make a way for my family.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.
Amazon Music SpotifyMore about artist BioBack in the mid-'80s, James Sifuentes began writing and recording some pretty goodpop rock. He and Bill, his brother and bandmate, dreamed of getting the songs re-recorded professionally, but life, other interests and careers intervened.Then came more life: age 50, cancer, Hodgkins's lymphoma. He beat that. Ten yearslater, July 2023, turmoil at the hospital where he had been an executive for 19 yearsresulted in his firing. A few months after that, January 2024, he suffered a heart attackwhile interviewing for his current regional manager position with the Chicago ParkDistrict.He didn't know about the heart attack until he went to urgent care after the interview.At this point, he tells himself that if he's going to put out his music, he ought to do it, andby March, he persuades himself to get it done.Then, January 2025, disaster for the second January in a row. He is diagnosed withstage 4 pancreatic cancer, but now he is seriously committed to putting out his music.And the result, a year later, is “Summertime,” the single, a jazzy pop-rock anthem to theseason, and Summertime, a 12-track album of some pretty good pop rock transformedinto seriously good pop rock.It's all under the name Sifuentes. It features Jim, his brother Bill on guitar, and MattRiggen, a multi-talented colleague from the park district, on drums, brass and piano.“Overall, it's pop rock, but there's some stuff that fits in different genres.”The single features the rocking guitar and beat you would expect from someoneinfluenced by the Beatles, especially John Lennon and Paul McCartney, funkadelic,(Parliament) and R&;B.And it also has some swinging brass work too.“The '60s, I was only a little kid,” said Sifuentes. “My dad actually bought Beatlesalbums, and we were just listening to them and, yeah, they became it.”Growing up, living and working in Chicago, “Summertime,” to him, means the end of theice, snow and cold of winter and the “beauty, the energy when people get to go out,wear shorts, barbecue, head to the beach and enjoy a different feeling.”“It's just trying to capture that feeling and make people feel good when they listen to thesong.”He has been writing, composing, playing and recording music ever since he and hisbrother were teens. At one time, he wanted to do that full time.“We just didn't pull the trigger, my brother and I. We wanted to get into the studio torecord these songs. We wanted to hear what they would have sounded likeprofessionally.”After the heart attack last year, “I said, ‘I'm gonna get these songs done.' In March oflast year, I said I'm gonna put out an album, so I set the goal.”But doubts set in: already 60, health not good, and though the music he had written andrecorded was good, he hadn't been playing much, or singing.Somewhere in here, his daughter Amanda says to him about “Summertime,” which hewrote in his 40s, “I love that song, Dad. You should finish it.”“And I said, ‘You know what? I'm going to do this album. I will release it aroundsummertime, so, I want that to be the title.”He began work, getting back into musical shape, working over his songs, and byNovember, he was back in the studio.Then January, and this time it's pancreatic cancer. But, “I'm always one to finish a goal.”Now it's June, and the album is out.“And I celebrated yesterday,” he said. “My staff here at the park district, we held alistening, they called it a listening event, and they played the album. My brother, Mattand I did some of the songs, five of them, just acoustic versions, but it was really nice.”And that's the story, he said. The love of music, the talent, the gift, has always beenthere, waiting to be unveiled.That's what he calls it, an unveiling.“People know I play guitar, kind of, but didn't know this other part of me, that I couldsing, or I can record, and I compose songs. It's an unveiling of another part of Jim thatpeople might not know.”He wrote most of the songs when he was 18-25. “The Memory” is about where he grewup, “walking around the park, going to school.” “Searching for Another Day” he wrotewhen he was 18.“Life,” coming more than 30 years later, after the first bout with cancer, “kind ofcomplements that song, saying, like, ‘After your search, this is where you're at.'”“Will You Be Mine” is R&B, “kind of a stepper.” “Loving You Dear,” “a catchy little clubsong.” The last song, “Yes, It's Me,” started out as a love song to a woman namedOrquídea, orchid in English. It features a Latin flavor and Sifuentes on guitar.“But it became in many ways more about me, showing everyone that it's me singing,recording, unveiling parts of me that were hidden, and still living fully.”He wrote other songs for people like him and his brother, people who grew up duringthe same period and listened to The Beatles, Elton John, The Who and others.“I'm hoping as they've grown and listened to music, it fits right into their lives.”One song, “Rumors,” a fast-moving rocker, is in its original recording of the Sifuentesbrothers from the late '80s, early '90s.“I just threw it in because I wanted to get 12 songs done, and it fits the mood of thealbum perfectly.”“Life,” a soft, lovely ballad, has special meaning.“It's the question every kid gets: What do you want to be in life? I just wanted to befamous and write songs, but you got to live your life for real.”The last lines are:Now that I'm older, I've come to beAll the gifts life has given meStill life comes asking one more thingIs this really what it means to be“I have this gift, and I wanted to share it, what I think my brother and I wanted to doback when. When you get that opportunity, like now, go ahead and make that happen.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.

Our children are creative. They create from a young age as they design, draw, sing, and play their way through new experiences. Sometimes tech builds on these beautiful creative moments, and sometimes, as Jake Weidmann points out, they simply exist within the confines of other peoples' creative endeavors. Today we'll talk with Jake Weidmann, husband, Christ-follower, and master Penman, about his lifelong journey of following Jesus through the gifts and creativity he's been given.Show Notes: https://bit.ly/3SDv4X8

Next in Media sat down with Chloe Wix, Head of Global Product & Commercial Growth at Spotify at the company's beach venue in Cannes, to talk about AI-generated audio ads, why Spotify is leaning more into monetizing non-subscribers, and whether the 'background' medium can graduate into the video ad market.
In this special episode of Pipeline Visionaries, Ian Faison, CEO of Caspian Studios, breaks down the future of B2B content creation for 2025. He dives into frameworks and strategies, outlining the five methods of consumption and aiming for high quality that makes virality possible. He also dives into the difference between feeds, shows, and networks, giving case studies and examples and highlights the shift towards platform-specific content and the role of marketers as 'gardeners' in navigating walled gardens like YouTube and LinkedIn.Key Takeaways:There are five methods of consumption that marketers need to be thinking about: shorts, shows, medium form video, live entertainment and fiction. The format matches consumption. Shorts for scrollers, shows for subscribers, limited series for binges, live events for live learners, fiction for edutainment. A feed and a show and a network are three different things. Creating a network allows audiences to self-select into the content that they like. The optimal strategy for creating content to deliver it to your audiences, is for creators to create it and put it on the platform. Individuals, not brands.Quote: “ That's what we have to figure out - how do we maximize coverage for our target audience? And if you ignore methods of consumption or you ignore format, or you ignore hosts, you're inherently ignoring a subset of your population."

In this episode of Healthy Mind, Healthy Life, host Avik Chakraborty sits down with Dr. Carrie Rose, best-selling author of The Completed Course, to explore the deeper purpose of online education. Beyond business growth and content creation, the conversation dives into how well-designed courses can become tools of personal transformation, mental clarity, and emotional empowerment. Dr. Rose breaks down the psychology behind low course completion rates and shares actionable strategies for educators and entrepreneurs who want to create meaningful learning experiences. This episode is a wake-up call for anyone building a course, brand, or legacy—reminding us that transformation begins with intentional design, not just information. About the Guest:Dr. Carrie Rose is a pioneering strategist in scalable education, known for her work with thought leaders and visionary brands. With completion rates that far exceed industry norms, she blends instructional design, storytelling, and soul to create courses that don't just teach—but transform. Her book The Completed Course addresses the emotional and psychological roadblocks that prevent learners from finishing programs and shows creators how to build learning journeys that stick. Key Takeaways: Transformation in learning is not about more content—it's about clarity, guidance, and alignment. Most online learners drop out due to overwhelming structure, poor course design, and a lack of emotional engagement. Creators must prioritize outcomes over information and focus on modular, achievable wins. Grit, self-awareness, and aligned intention are key to both learning and teaching success. Learning experiences can be healing tools if rooted in authenticity and relevance.

You've heard it over and over - "take the leap of faith"..."pursue your passion"......and all of the voices seem to say that being a creator is all or nothing. If you have a 'backup' or traditional 9-to-5 job, somehow, you're not doing it right. In an age where so many options are available to creators to help them monetize and grow careers, the pressure is on many faith-focused, well-meaning Christian creative people to leave their jobs and try to earn their living strictly from their creative gifts. Is that true? Or is it a flawed perspective that gets people to take steps they don't have to take? We explore why the "full-time creator" might not be for everyone in this episode.

The Podcast SEO Blueprint for Branding and Business Growth with SEO Expert, Favour Obasi-ike, Favour Obasi-ike, MBA, MSIn this episode, we start an in-depth guide to podcast SEO for 2025-2026, emphasizing strategies for business growth through podcasting. It outlines the "low effort, high impact" approach, highlighting the importance of wide distribution across numerous platforms and strategic keyword integration in show titles, descriptions, and creator names. The speaker stresses the necessity of a dedicated website and email list for a podcast's success, viewing podcasts as a vital PR tool and a means to build authentic connections. Key takeaways include the significance of research, understanding podcast categories, and optimizing episode content for search visibility, ultimately aiming to transform a hobby into a serious business venture.What are the key elements of podcast SEO for long-term growth?For long-term growth, a podcast needs a strong SEO foundation built on several key elements:Domain and Website: A dedicated website for the podcast (e.g., podcastname.com) with good hosting allows for the creation of articles and serves as an anchor for links and resources. Tools like On Podium can simplify this.Email List: An email list is essential for direct communication with listeners about new episodes and offerings, as relying solely on platform algorithms is insufficient.Keyword Optimization: Keywords are vital in the show name, show description (utilizing the full 4000 characters available on mobile Spotify for Creators), creator name, and episode titles. Researching relevant keywords and embedding them naturally in both spoken content and written descriptions is crucial for discoverability.Strategic Episode Titles: Episode titles should clearly state the problem or topic being addressed, rather than generic "Season 1, Episode 1" formats, to immediately capture listener interest and improve searchability.Content Consistency and Value: Regularly publishing valuable, informative content that addresses audience problems fosters trust and keeps listeners engaged.Categorization and Language: Properly selecting primary and subcategories (e.g., Health & Wellness > Mental Health) and accurately setting the language helps target the right audience and improves visibility within specific niches.What is the core concept of the Podcast SEO Blueprint 2025-2026?The Podcast SEO Blueprint emphasizes a "low effort, high impact" approach to growing a business through podcasting. The central idea is to maximize the visibility and reach of a podcast by strategically optimizing its presence across numerous platforms and utilizing strong SEO principles. This allows the podcast to serve as an anchor for building connections, establishing trust, and ultimately driving business growth. The speaker highlights that consistent, thoughtful application of the blueprint over 90 days can provide a significant competitive advantage.Access to Resources ⬇️Need SEO services?>> Join our club community for exclusive information
