Send us a text"Dancing for the Devil—Episode 1 Part 1 - Die to Yourself" recounts the harrowing journey of the Wilking sisters, Melanie and Miranda, through their involvement with Shekinah Church, founded by Robert Shinn, and its associated group, 7M. The episode begins with the Wilking family's desperate attempt to reconnect with Miranda, who has been isolated from them since joining the church. Despite their efforts, including visits to the church gate and numerous calls, Miranda remains out of reach, even missing her grandfather's funeral under dubious claims of having COVID-19. This separation is indicative of the church's control over its members, compelling them to cut ties with their families.Miranda's entanglement with the church began after moving to Los Angeles post-high school and forming relationships with key members of the dance community, including James (B-Dash), who introduced her to Robert Shinn's circle. The narrative reveals how Melanie also got involved, initially invited to Shinn's house where she experienced unsettling religious practices and coercive tactics. Financial exploitation is highlighted, with members being subjected to steep fees and controlled bank accounts, leaving Miranda financially drained and dependent on the church.As the story unfolds, Melanie distances herself from the church after a series of controlling demands, while Miranda remains entrenched, further alienating her family. The church's manipulation becomes evident through practices such as signing non-disclosure agreements during services and enforcing strict separation of new members from long-term devotees. Former member Melanie Lee's experiences corroborate these accounts, revealing systemic control and abuse within the church over decades.The episode sheds light on the psychological and financial manipulation within Shekinah Church. Members are forced to surrender large portions of their income and subjected to public shaming for non-compliance. The church's control extends to personal relationships, with members reporting all thoughts and actions to a mentor, creating a pervasive atmosphere of surveillance and obedience. Financial records reveal that church leaders, particularly Shinn's wife Hannah, exploit members for labor and monetary gain, maintaining strict control over their finances.A turning point occurs when Melanie Lee recalls the sexual abuse scandal involving Robert Shinn, which initially led to a loss of church workers but eventually saw Shinn manipulating and retaining control over remaining members like Melanie and her sister Priscylla. This abuse and manipulation culminate in Priscylla's eventual escape, although she continues to struggle with the psychological aftermath. The episode underscores the enduring impact of Shinn's control, with former members grappling with the trauma and attempting to reclaim their lives.The episode concludes with a glimpse into the ongoing legal battle against Robert Shinn, initiated by Melanie and Priscylla. Their decision to sue is driven by a desire for justice and to expose the church's exploitation. The involvement of the dancers in the lawsuit highlights the shared experiences of manipulation and control, emphasizing the collective struggle against Shinn's oppressive regime. Despite the legal actions, key members like Miranda, James, and Nick remain loyal to 7M, illustrating the deep-rooted influence of the church on its followers.Support the showhttps://www.wewinewhenever.com/Support the showhttps://www.wewinewhenever.com/

On this episode of the Scandalous Podcast, I sit down with the incredible Katerina Kiranos, aka Katacombs. We dive into everything from childhood memories and navigating relationships, to the cultural richness of traveling—especially our adventures in places like London and Greece. She opens up about confronting life's challenges, the strength she's found through the support of loved ones, and the powerful freedom that comes from breaking away from societal expectations—especially the pressure to always be "polite." Throughout our chat, we touch on the feminine experience in music, the evolution of her voice, and the confidence it takes to stay true to yourself in a world that often pushes conformity. She also shares what touring has taught her, the ongoing journey of self-acceptance, and what it means to find empowerment at every stage of life. It's raw, it's real, and of course—it's a little bit Scandalous.Follow @ScandalousOfficial
Jayda meets the most vibrant Lady Shaka to chat all about how she went from a professional dancer to become a DJ, spoiler, it's a hilarious story, but importantly how she has been using her platform to lift up other indigenous and Pacific Islander artists through her curated Boiler Room events and global parties and collective. Shaka shares core philosophies part of her identities including Mana, and how they guide her work as a multidisciplinary artist. Jayda and Shaka also discuss what it was like for each of them as mixed-race artists to move from small towns to a city of London overflowing with culture, and for Shaka how especially joining queer POC spaces and club nights have been fundamental to her self actualisation and discussing the importance of being around people who look like you. Shaka brings so much energy to this conversation, having us in stitches as well as making us cry, you are going to love it!Follow Lady ShakaFollow Jayda GFollow Here's Hoping PodcastMore on our guest Pulotu Underworld Lady Shaka Boiler Room Rarotonga Boiler RoomLady Shaka is a DJ and interdisciplinary artist of Pacific Island, Māori, and Cape Verdean descent, originally from Aotearoa (New Zealand) and now based in London. Her music blends electronic sounds with her queer identity, cultural roots, and connection to the moana (ocean). As part of a new wave of Pasifika artists, she challenges mainstream norms with genre-defying work that reclaims and re-indigenizes the Pasifika experience. Recognized at the 2023 Pacific Music Awards, she won the ‘Creative New Zealand Award' for her innovative contributions to contemporary music. A former dancer, Lady Shaka views music as a powerful medium for storytelling and expression. She made history as one of the first Pacific Islanders to perform on Boiler Room in 2021 with queer collective Filth and has since performed globally. In 2024, she helped bring Boiler Room to the Pacific Islands for the first time, debuting the series in Rarotonga. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

In 2011, Simon Reynolds is one of the world's most prolific music journalists, came on KEEN ON to explain why the Internet has been bad for both musical artists and fans. Back then it took a brave man like Reynolds to argue against the supposedly cornucopian cultural potential of the Web 2 revolution. Today, in contrast, most mainstream cultural critics see the internet, and particularly the AI revolution, as a catastrophe for artists and fans. And yet Reynolds, often the cultural zigger when everyone else zags, has cheered up. In a new collection of essays, Futuromania, his first book in eight years, Reynolds is cautiously optimistic about electronic dreams, desiring machines, and tomorrow's AI revolution. AI isn't going to destroy culture, Reynolds reassures us. It might even lead to a new renaissance of creativity, akin to punk or even the glory years of Sixties popular music. Simon Reynolds is the author of Energy Flash: A Journey through Rave Music and Dance Culture, Blissed Out: The Raptures of Rock, The Sex Revolts: Gender, Rebellions and Rock and Roll (co-written with Joy Press), Rip it Up and Start Again: Postpunk 1978 – 1984, and, most recently, Bring the Noise: Twenty Years of Hip Hop and Hip Rock.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting KEEN ON, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy show. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE. Andrew lives in San Francisco, is married to Cassandra Knight, Google's VP of Litigation & Discovery, and has two grown children.Keen On is a reader-supported publication.

In this episode Jeremy and Tim are joined by writer, historian, and friend of the show Simon Reynolds to discuss British musical trends of the 1970s and his life as a music journalist. Simon is arguably the most important music critic writing today, having penned seminal books on post-punk, electronic dance music, feminist rock and much more. In this interview he mostly talks about his most recent book, ‘Shock and Awe: Glam Rock and Its Legacy, from the Seventies to the Twenty-First Century', sharing stories from his childhood interest in the decadent world of Glam. The three discuss how so many artists came to aestheticise a rejection of suburbia, the purply gauze of Top of the Pops, and thinking the Situationists were a band. They unpick how Punk is imagined and historicised versus how it was experienced, how Simon came to reappraise the 60s against a hostile critical culture, and consider the role of the music press historically and today. For patrons, our extended edition also includes a discussion around Simon's 2011 book ‘Retromania: Pop Culture's Addiction to its Own Past'. Tim, Jeremy and Simon recount the particular conjuncture from which the book arose, tease out its key theses, and apply those to contemporary music culture. Simon Reynolds is the author of ‘Blissed Out: The Raptures of Rock', ‘The Sex Revolts: Gender, Rebellion and Rock 'N' Roll' with Joy Press, ‘Energy Flash: A Journey Through Rave Music and Dance Culture', ‘Rip It Up and Start Again: Postpunk 1978–1984', ‘Bring The Noise: 20 Years of Writing About Hip Rock and Hip-Hop', ‘Retromania: Pop Culture's Addiction to Its Own Past' and ‘Shock and Awe: Glam Rock and Its Legacy, from the Seventies to the Twenty-First Century'. His next book, ‘Futuromania: Electronic Dreams from Moroder to Migos' is forthcoming.

Aranivah didn't dance when she was a punk teenager living in El Salvador. It wasn't till years later after she immigrated to New York that she fell in love with ska, cumbia, soul music, and dancing to these genres. With no formal training, she discovered that she was really good at it. But she wasn't just good at moving her body. She made it accessible to other people. Her videos dancing to ska and other subgenres soon went viral on TikTok and Instagram. She used this online popularity to create dance classes. Today, we speak with Aranivah. We talk at length about the ska bands that speak to her personally. In particular, we break down a YouTube video she made that namechecks Prince Buster, Inspecter 7, Akatz, Vieja Skina, Bad Manners, Desmond Dekker, Decibelios, Laurel Aitken, Ska Cubano and Skalariak. Some great ska tunes! We also talk about her formative years as an El Salvadorian punk, we talk about her experiences immigrating the New York at the age of 17, the Brooklyn Rocksteady / Dirty Reggae scene in the 2000s that turned her on to the genre here (The Hard Times, The Far East, The Forthrights, The Frightnrs), and we talk about what led to her starting Dance Culture By Aranivah. We also talk about her dancing in a Hub City Stompers video, how she approaches social media, and she even tells us all about a really cool reggae club she visited in Mexico last year called Cultural Roots.
