Shenanigans are really swell, stupid banter and a big story to tell (Side effects of Shenanigans include questioning the choices in your life). This week's show gives the sweet and talented Deanna Colón. This singer and entertainer has performed with and for Diana Ross and Patti Labelle, been on America's Got Talent & Masterchef, and been in commercials like Bad Bunny's Pepsi ad and the Jardiance jingle. We get to learn about who the “Bomb Chica” is and hear about her life. We go off the rails as always and discuss Mike's signature dish, whether or not we'd go to space, and Scott tells a a cray story about one of the worst intro's in comedy show history. Have a listen!
Episode 73: Keyon Harrold. Everywhere I turn, I see Keyon Harrold. He's widely regarded as one of the greatest trumpeters alive today, pushing the new jazz generation forward with power and soul. His solo album Foreverland was GRAMMY-nominated this year for Best Alternative Jazz Album, and his resume is stacked — Jay-Z, Common, Erykah Badu, Diana Ross, Mac Miller, Robert Glasper, the Count Basie Orchestra, Terrace Martin — and he played all the trumpet parts in the Miles Davis biopic Miles Ahead. Keyon is a dear friend and an incredible human being. He drops so much wisdom in this episode and truly inspired me with his words. I hope you enjoy my conversation with the great Keyon Harrold. ‘Go with Elmo Lovano' is a weekly podcast where Elmo interviews creatives and entrepreneurs in music on HOW they push forward every day, got where they are in their careers, manage their personal lives, and share lessons learned and their most important insights.

InstagramSpotify BioDare to make a difference, be a leader in the crowd.” These words, lyrics from Lynn Houston's latest musical release, serve as a poetic call to action—an invitation to step forward with courage and create meaningful change. Though each person is a thread in the broader tapestry of society, it is often easy to forget the power and responsibility of the individual to uplift others and foster unity. Throughout history, society has seen cycles of oppression and privilege, progress and regression. In what Houston refers to as her “final frontier,” she is now using music as a platform to amplify unheard voices, promote social consciousness, and inspire compassion and courage in everyday life.For Houston, courage has been the throughline of her life. Raised by a family that instilled a strong sense of self, she quickly learned that success required both education and dedication. Even with a solid foundation, she knew she was different—an outlier who would need to carve her own path rather than conform to societal expectations. Leaving her hometown, she set out across the United States as a one-woman show, forging connections, expanding her creative expression, and discovering new artistic directions.Eventually settling in Santa Monica, she transitioned into still photography, capturing iconic figures such as Mick Jagger and Diana Ross. From there, she made an unconventional leap into aviation, defying industry norms to become a successful airline captain in a male-dominated field. After retiring, she founded A Different Point of View in 2011—a nonprofit dedicated to empowering youth within the juvenile justice system to believe in themselves and take control of their futures.In 2017, Houston embarked on yet another creative chapter, this time in music. She began performing at venues like SoHo in Santa Barbara, CA, and her artistic evolution accelerated through training at Berklee College of Music and the discovery of Digital Audio Workstations (DAWs). These tools became her creative laboratory, allowing her to experiment freely with sound, much like a scientist mixing and discovering new elements.Throughout all of these experiences, it was bravery and commitment that allowed her to realize her dreams, while compassion and empathy fueled her desire to uplift others. Now, music has become the vessel through which she shares this mission with the world. In Leader in the Crowd, Houston sings:“Time is ticking, life is moving fast,Who knows but today…Just might be your lastIs this the way you want it,Is this how it's gonna be?Gotta find the courageTo create the dreams that you see”These lyrics are powerfully underscored by the soulful echo of Diana Purim (daughter of Flora Purim), whose background vocals repeatedly urge, “You gotta wake up.” The song challenges listeners to reflect: Are they truly making their moments count? Or simply drifting in complacency? With time being finite, the message is clear—there is no waiting to become the person you were meant to be, or to step into your purpose.Layered with background chants and crowd sounds, the track sonically mirrors chaos, while spoken-word interludes cut through with precision and emotional clarity. Musically, it blends hip-hop, R&B, jazz, and orchestral elements, creating a spacious yet intense listening experience. These creative decisions were elevated by the mix of renowned LA producer and sound engineer Lynne Earls, and mastering by Jett Galindo. Houston also reflects on the joy of recording at the world-famous Village Studios in Los Angeles with an all-female production crew—a rare feat in the male-dominated music industry.For Houston, the culmination of these efforts—working with aligned, socially conscious collaborators and creating with courageous intention—made Leader in the Crowd a powerful artistic and personal milestone.But her journey doesn't end there. Houston believes that everyone has the potential to make a difference. Each of us faces a choice: remain complacent, or point our hearts toward our dreams, stand for unity and justice, and be unafraid to lead.Stay connected with Lynn Houston on social media for updates on her upcoming track, Get Up, slated for release this summer.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/creator-to-creators-with-meosha-bean--4460322/support.

Il était une fois la Motown, probablement la plus belle légende à raconter pour une firme de disques, familiale, avec un patriarche au milieu, démarrant dans une ville improbable, Détroit, la cité de l'automobile. Succès gigantesque dès le début des années 60, on ne compte plus les noms des stars qui en sortent : Marvin Gaye, Stevie Wonder, les Temptations, Four Tops, Supremes, Diana Ross, les Jackson Five, les Commodores. Mais voilà, au début des années 80, la musique noire explose sur la scène mondiale avec la fin du disco. Le monde s'est mis à danser et la Motown, portée par le retour inespéré de Diana Ross et de Stevie Wonder qui avaient été en retrait durant la mode disco, ne voit pas venir l'essoufflement de ses troupes. C'est vrai qu'ils sont tous là depuis les sixties. C'est aussi le cas pour les Commodores, alors Berry leur conseille de prendre une année sabbatique. Ca ne pouvait pas mieux tomber pour Lionel qui multiplie alors les collaborations et bascule du côté blanc du métier. En 1982 son premier album solo qui ne doit n'être qu'une parenthèse, sort chez A&M, une firme de Los Angeles, celle qui édite, entre autres, The Police, LE groupe du moment. Lionel ne reviendra pas dans le giron des Commodores et de la Motown, ils vont devoir continuer sans lui.Oui, le métier du disque a changé. Terminée la toute puissance des firmes du nord-est New York, Chicago, Detroit, tout se joue désormais à Los Angeles. Et c'est là que se trouve Lionel, avec son ami Michael Jackson. On comprend qu'il ait été vite question quand il a été demandé au duo de copains Lionel Richie et Kenny Rogers de faire une chanson pour l'Ethiopie en 1985, d'aller chercher Michael et Quincy Jones. Et quarante ans après, on a du mal à imaginer combien Lionel Richie, associé à Michael Jackson et Kenny Rogers, pesait lourd sur le marché mondial du disque. Ils cumulent à eux trois 800 millions de disques vendus. Aux JO de Los Angeles, qui invite les athlètes et le monde entier à faire la fête toute la nuit, c'est Lionel, qui aura récolté 15 hits mondiaux en solo sans compter les collaborations ni le fameux We are the world.C'est là qu'on va comprendre pourquoi Lionel Richie reste un des artistes phare des années 80, il marque une pause pour profiter de la vie et aussi pour d'autres raisons matrimoniales. Mais comme souvent, s'arrêter, c'est laisser le monde changer sans vous et donc, vous oublier. C'est ce qui est arrivé. Revenu en 1996, Lionel Richie ne retrouvera pas le chemin des sommets, ni avec cet album, ni avec les suivants. N'empêche l'histoire est belle, elle a été longue, et aujourd'hui, Lionel Richie fait à nouveau recette avec un public qui prend en compte la carrière d'un artiste plus que le succès du moment, conscient de la futilité d'un tube qui bien souvent, est sans lendemain.
Welcome to the Sonic Collective, a music podcast that explores a different album or musical concept each month, diving deep into its history, context, and impact on the music industry. Join hosts Alain DuPuis, Scott Coates and Darren Scott, along with Scott Gregory, as they share their thoughts, insights, and personal connections to the music, inviting listeners to discover new perspectives and appreciation for some of the greatest albums of all time. Darren Scott reminisces about compilation albums and the group's original rule against reviewing compilations or best-of albums, but acknowledges exceptions. The podcast delves into the history of compilation albums, particularly those from K-Tel Records, founded in Winnipeg, Canada, in 1962 by Philip Kives. Kives became renowned for compilation albums featuring diverse hits across various genres. He started the infomercial craze in 1962 and applied direct marketing to music, leading to the popularity of compilation albums in the 70s and 80s. Darren shares his memories of compilation albums from his childhood, particularly the album "Full Tilt," a Canadian release with a U.S. version that differed significantly. He explains the Canadian content law that required a percentage of music played on the radio to be Canadian, which helped the Canadian music industry grow. The members discuss their experiences with compilation albums, highlighting the diversity of genres and artists featured. They mention standout tracks like Diana Ross's "Upside Down," Kenny Loggins's "I'm All Right," and the Irish Rovers' "Wasn't That a Party." They also touch on the influence of British culture on Canadian music and the eclectic mix of songs on the album. The podcast concludes with a discussion of the strengths and weaknesses of compilation albums, their nostalgic value, and their role as time capsules of popular music. The hosts share their ratings for the album "Full Tilt" and introduce the next album for review, "Hit Express."
Une guitare légère au son très large, un groove rond, le son des Commodores est à nul autre pareil, il colle aux années 70 comme un film de l'Inspecteur Harry. Et quand vient le basculement dans les années 80 et que le disco disparaît, l'Europe alors totalement conquise par la soul music découvre les trois plus grands groupes américains d'un genre jusque-là confidentiel, le funk : ils se nomment Earth Wind & Fire, les Jacksons et bien sûr les Commodores. Mais étonnamment, aussi énorme que soit le son de ce qui est déjà leur dixième album et la qualité des chansons, les Commodores sont à la traîne, complètement éclipsés derrière les deux autres. Et doit-on parler du succès de Michael Jackson en solo !Alors en 1982, le groupe décide d'une pause, après quinze années de tournées et de disques non stop. Pour la première fois, il va y avoir une année sans album des Commodores. Est-ce un hasard si c'est celle où paraît le Thriller de Michael Jackson, qui est l'ami et le cadet de Lionel Richie, il a neuf ans de moins que lui, ce qui, quand on a 24 ans, compte quand même ! On dit toujours qu'il n'y a pas de hasard. Un plus tôt, était sorti un single du chanteur country Kenny Rogers, un concept qui semble fou au départ puisqu'il s'agit de métisser ce genre 100% blanc avec la musique soul. Et qui a été le plus grand crooner côté black dans les années 70 ? Lionel Richie des Commodores. Ecrire pour un autre ne lui pose pas de problème, il le fait pour Walter Orange l'autre chanteur des Commodores et a déjà eu un N°1 avec une chanson écrite pour les Temptations. Et puis c'est dans ce registre que les deux hommes peuvent se rencontrer le plus facilement. Et c'est vrai que cette année-là, quand on a entendu Lady pour la première fois à la radio, on a eu une hésitation. C'est Lionel Richie, ah non, si, non. C'est le jackpot, pour la première fois, une chanson est N°1 dans les quatre catégories du Billboard américain : Adult, R&B, Country et bien sûr, le Hot 100, celui qui cumule tout. De là à inspirer Michael Jackson dans sa quête de conquérir le public blanc, il n'y a qu'un pas.Mais Lionel Richie n'en reste pas là car il se fend aussi d'un duo avec la meilleure amie de Michael, Diana Ross, dont la carrière a été reboostée par la pléiade de tubes offerts par le groupe chic, nouveau et dernier groupe noir américain à avoir conquis le public blanc. En plus, c'est la chanson d'un film avec Brooke Shields, tiens, tiens. Oui, il y a une voie royale qui vient de s'ouvrir au discret Lionel Richie. Son heure est venue. Il vient d'ailleurs d'être pris en charge par le manager de Kenny Rogers, un blanc qui tient le métier du disque à Los Angeles dans les mains. Un gars sympa qui n'a pas la grosse tête car elle est bien faite et qui lui a tenu ces propos : “Tu vois, Lionel, ton problème, c'est que les gens connaissent tes chansons mais pas ton nom. Je vais régler ça.” Lionel ne retournera jamais chez les Commodores.

Girl Groups have been with us since the beginning of popular music, and in my 60-plus years, just two have stood above everyone else: The Supremes and Destiny's Child.The Supremes are the greatest singing group of all time and the template for all girl groups. Movies, plays and books can be found explaining the rise and no fall Supremes — there are at least a dozen albums without Diana Ross and Florence Ballard.Destiny's Child is the greatest girl group since The Supremes but, a trio created after years of drama, and destined to be hit makers. And once they arrived they suddenly called it quits…Are these groups alike?To answer that question, press play.
Send us a textRey Roldan stops by the podcast to talk about being Britney's Publicist, Interviewing Kurt Cobain, an interesting encounter with Bono, Fandom, and so much more.********Rey has seen a lot… and I mean A LOT. Twenty-six plus years as a publicist (since 1995) and a few years before that as a nationally published entertainment journalist, he's been around. Backstage, on the tour bus, in the hotel rooms, behind closed doors, in the conference room… he's witnessed almost all… but there's undoubtedly more that he hasn't seen. But it hasn't shocked him. In fact, it's intrigued him… challenged him… and at times, offered myriad choices of how to react and how to process. And that's the thing… nothing shocks him. Starting his journey into the lion's den that is the music industry, he was a journalist for a number of newspapers, magazines, and regionals across the country (and one or two overseas). He's interviewed Kurt Cobain, U2, Joey Ramone, Sinead O'Connor, Bjork, Polly Jean Harvey… oh, and Vanilla Ice… While journalism was his passion, it didn't quite pay the bills, especially in Boston. So he moved to NYC and jumped into Publicity. IRS Records, Mammoth Records, Grass Records, Jive/Silvertone/Zomba, KSA Publicity/Press Here, Island Def Jam… He worked with Britney Spears, Backstreet Boys, Hanson, Duran Duran, Sting, Brooks & Dunn, O Brother Where Are Thou?, Juliana Hatfield, Diana Ross, Squirrel Nut Zippers, Dresden Dolls, Charlotte Church, among hundreds of others. He did the label (indie and major) and indie PR thing but he was burnt out on doing publicity like a pre-defined template that labels determined, so he left the corporate world to start his own shingle with a focus on building profiles and strategies that weren't constrained by hard, constrained blueprints. In 2004, Reybee Inc. was born. Instead of sticking to templates, he and his team of professionals craft unique strategies to build solid foundations and build up from there, creating campaigns that focus on constructing artist careers that go beyond. His campaigns go forward and sideways, and rarely backwards (unless, of course, we're talking retrospectives, which, in that case, they go backwards too).Nearly two decades later, it's still going strong… in fact, it keeps growing… and growing… and growing. Yay.Website: https://www.reybee.com*******If you would like to contact the show about being a guest, please email us at Dauna@bettertopodcast.comFollow us on Social MediaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/author_d.m.needom/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bettertopodcastwithdmneedomAudio production by Rich Zei of Third Ear AudioIntro and Outro music compliments of Fast Suzi©2025 Better To...Podcast with D.

Salt-N-Pepa, Usher, Prince, Diana Ross, Teena Marie, Chaka Khan, An industry veteran who currently serves as one of the directors for the Hip Hop Museum, Green outlines his career spanning five decades. This includes producing concerts and/or representing as a longtime agent for artists such as Usher, Prince, Diana Ross, Teena Marie, Chaka Khan, the Backstreet Boys - among othersThen there's the fine line between the grind in the streets and the hustle in the industry. Mark battled with con artists, drug dealers and pimps and people trying to show off their local high profile at the expense of his artists. “I didn't get too caught up in that because I had to keep one eye on the money!” He stayed focused, even when distractions of every kind showed up on the road–drugs, groupies, out-of-control artists–and he kept many ships afloat when everything should have drowned. But again, the show must go on. Mark's stellar reputation put him in high demand and working with Melba and soon Freddie Jackson, Dru Hill, Al B Sure, Grandmaster Flash, a young Usher and music pioneer Prince solidified his reputation in the industry. He would join Associated Booking Corp, where his talent for spotting rising stars and his love for hip-hop led to the signing of such game-changing artists as Salt-N-Pepa, Roxanne Shante, Kid & Play, and DJ Jazzy Jeff & the Fresh Prince. He would go on to become Director of Marketing at EMI/Capitol Records and expanded again, this time into radio, promotions, and into the fields of jazz and rap, earning accolades in promotions and even producing, writing, and publishing successful tracks like "Remember the First Time" for singer Eric Gable and "Midnight Hour" for rapper Lady Spice MC. Green moved as the industry moved and found himself in independent marketing and promotions consulting and secured a record deal with Light Year/Warner Brothers for his independent label, with singer/songwriter and R&B legend Teena Marie as his first artist. A year later, working with Northstar Distribution, Green became General Manager, distributing music for Prince's independent label, where the purple one signed R&B music siren Chaka Khan and the soul-stirrer and crooner Larry Graham on the artist's NPG Records. Soon, shaping his own destiny, Green launched Celebrity Talent Agency, representing a wide array of artists, where he's secured talents for tours, festivals and commercials nationally and globally. Ever-expanding his vision, Green also serves as Associate Director/General Manager of Lehman Performing Arts Center, Chairman of Artist Relations for The Hip-Hop Museum (THHM), and maintains ownership of Celebrity Talent Agency. The Show Must Go On!

Nile Rogers of Chic Live on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson This sit-down with my old friend, multiple Grammy Winner, Rock & Roll Hall Inductee, Songwriters Hall of Fame Inductee, composer, producer, arranger, and guitarist, Nile Rogers, is SOLID GOLD… more like triple platinum. Even though we never exchanged more than a few words in the handful of times he graced my jams back in the day, there was always DHM (deep hidden meaning), as there always is with Nile. This day, we got to that and so much more. STORIES! Oh my lord, No one tells ‘em like Nile. Case in point, his tome, Le Freak, may be the greatest memoir I've read. I could not put the thing down. When was the last time I read a book cover to cover in less than 24 hours? A rare score on Amazon these days, Nile's assured he'll be updating and republishing. It's a MUST-read for music fans, flower children, and anyone who loves to sink their teeth into a great story, well-told. Nile covered his very humble early days, his barely older than him mother, the drugs, the bi-coastal extended family, the moves, the schools, early influences from Coltrane to The Beatles, flute to clarinet to guitar… how Bernard Edwards got him to the Hitmaker Strat and chucking, which has become synonymous with Nile's style. We talked the DHM, the breakdown, the Chic magic as well as the music during and since… producing the top of the top for Sister Sledge, Diana Ross, Madonna, David Bowie, Duran Duran, still winning Grammys and kicking it with Daft Punk, Beyonce, and Cold Play, to name but a few, 750 MILLION albums worth. Say what? We got the sweetest stories about Michael Jackson… a funny with Keith Richards, a Grace Jones impression, and a scary story about Nile's coke psychosis leading to him bottoming out and getting clean and sober. 31 years worth and counting… That Nile was able to do all that he's done, and it's Herculean - aside from the massive number of hits, the films he's scored, the shows he's played, there's the We Are Family Foundation, Chairing the Songwriters Hall of Fame, receiving the 2024 World Economic Forum's Crystal Award for his extraordinary efforts to make the world a more peaceful, equal, and inclusive place… Nile is a humanist, a gentle soul with a heart of platinum like the records that line his walls. I've always admired, respected, and adored Nile. After reading Le Freak, and spending this time with him, I cherish him all the more. What a man, what a man, what a mighty fine man! Nile Rogers of Chic Live on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson Wednesday, 4/2/25, 11AM PT, 2 PM ET Streamed Live on my Facebook and on my YouTube FB Replay here: https://bit.ly/4cmPP2u YouTube replay here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q875x2lVyLE

Today we have a very special guest. From the stages of off-Broadway to the bright lights of Broadway, from his unmistakable voice to his performances in 30+ movies, Harvey Fierstein has spent a lifetime telling stories that matter. With four Tony Awards to his name—two for writing, two for acting—his work in Torch Song Trilogy, La Cage aux Folles, and Hairspray has redefined representation on stage. But beyond the accolades, there's the man: a Brooklyn-born artist whose journey has been shaped by family, resilience, and an unyielding belief in telling the truth. Harvey also has a deep love for sewing and costume design. Before becoming famous Fierstein studied art at the Pratt Institute in Brooklyn, New York and worked as a costume designer in the off-off-Broadway world. He has spoken about his passion for sewing in interviews, reminiscing about how he used to design and create costumes for drag performers and theater productions which helped shape his deep understanding of theatrical presentation and character development. His early work in costume design was part of his immersion in the vibrant New York theater community of the 1970s, where he collaborated with experimental and LGBTQ+ artists.Even as his career in theater took off with Torch Song Trilogy and Hairspray, sewing remained a part of his life. He has mentioned that working with fabric and creating garments is a meditative and creative outlet for him. His appreciation for costume design also extends to his theatrical work, where he often acknowledges the impact of great costume designers in bringing characters to life.So today we go beyond the footlights to explore the moments that made him—his early days, the influence of his parents, why Ridgefield, Connecticut became his adopted hometown and, why sewing has been an anchoring thread in his life. (2:15) We welcome the inimitable Harvey Fierstein! He shares how he first picked up sewing—starting with an industrial machine in his father's handkerchief factory—before setting his sights on becoming a Disney animator. But, things changed for him and as Harvey puts it, “Life only changes when you're brave enough to say yes.”(5:27) A deep dive into Harvey's quilting journey, from discovering HGTV and Alex Anderson to creating story-driven quilts today. His first quilt? Alex Anderson's Strips that Sizzle!(9:25) Growing up in a conservative Jewish household, Harvey learned the power of storytelling from his family. Education, art, music, and Broadway were all part of his upbringing, shaping the creative force he became.(11:45) Family isn't just who you're born to—it's also who you find. Harvey talks about his “found family” in the theatre, the people who call him “mama” and “papa,” and what it means to always be true to yourself.(13:32) Ever wonder what a Harvey Fierstein Stitch & Bitch session looks like? He spills all about his quilting experiments and creative process.(16:03) From bold colors to playful designs, Harvey shares his favorite fabrics and how he keeps things fresh alternating between challenging and just plain silly projects.(20:15) Picking a favorite quilt is like picking a favorite child—but Harvey gives it a shot!(23:20) The costumes that left a mark: Harvey reflects on the magic of theatrical costumes, the collaborative art of design, and why theatre itself is an act of faith.(27:07) Favorite roles—on stage, in film, and yes, even Death to Smoochy!(30:30) Writing his memoir I Was Better Last Night was a journey in itself. Harvey shares what inspired him to put his life on paper.(31:20) When did he finally feel accepted? And what really led him to move Torch Song Trilogy to Broadway? It's not the story you think!(32:31) A mother always knows! The moment Harvey's mom saw her own earrings on him during Torch Song Trilogy—and her priceless reaction.(34:00) What's the secret to his success? According to Harvey, it's all about taking that unexpected fork in the road.(38:38) The quilting class that changed everything: What Harvey learned from Kaffe Fassett, Brandon Mably and Liza Lucy.(39:10) Quilting vs. theatre—two creative worlds, two very different communities. Harvey compares the two.(40:54) The key to keeping every performance fresh? Harvey reveals how he does it.(43:06) Why Bridgefield, CT has been home for 40 years—and how Harvey's house reflects is unique perspective on life and art.(46:00) “As much as it hurts, tell the truth.” Harvey explains how this philosophy, shaped by his father, has guided his life and career.(47:25) What's next—what's left on Harvey's bucket list?(52:18) Want to connect with Harvey?

MDJ Script/ Top Stories for March 26th Publish Date: March 26th Commercial: MONSTER JAM 2025_FINAL From the BG Ad Group Studio, Welcome to the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast. Today is Wednesday, March 26th and Happy Birthday to Diana Ross ***03.26.25 - BIRTHDAY – DIANA ROSS*** I’m Keith Ippolito and here are the stories Cobb is talking about, presented by Times Journal Lawmakers decide to ban cellphones in public elementary and middle schools Kennesaw Grand Prix 5K Series Returns For 2025 'We can't do our jobs': Some Cobb Servers Still Down After 'Unusual Activity' Spotted All of this and more is coming up on the Marietta Daily Journal Podcast, and if you are looking for community news, we encourage you to listen and subscribe! BREAK: MONSTER JAM 2025_FINAL STORY 1: Lawmakers decide to ban cellphones in public elementary and middle schools Starting next fall, Georgia's "Distraction-Free Education Act" will ban personal cellphone use in public elementary and middle schools, following overwhelming legislative support. The bill, awaiting Governor Brian Kemp's signature, requires students to lock up devices during school hours, with exceptions for medical or disability-related needs. The move addresses concerns about technology's impact on children, echoing global trends like bans in Australia and France. Proponents argue the ban reduces distractions and improves student well-being, while critics worry about communication during emergencies. Discussions may extend the ban to high schools in the future, reflecting ongoing debates about technology's role in education. STORY 2: Kennesaw Grand Prix 5K Series Returns For 2025 The 2025 Kennesaw Grand Prix 5K series returns with four races on a fast, USATF-certified course through downtown Kennesaw and Swift-Cantrell Park. Part of the Fit City Kennesaw initiative, the series caters to competitive runners, beginners, and families, offering a festival-like atmosphere. Races start at Kennesaw First Baptist Church, with a one-mile fun run, 5K, and Tot Trot, followed by awards. The schedule includes races in April, June, September, and October, with early bird pricing and a custom gift for full-series registrants. Registration is open at raceroster.com, and more details are available at kennesawgrandprix.com. STORY 3: 'We can't do our jobs': Some Cobb Servers Still Down After 'Unusual Activity' Spotted Cobb County is grappling with server issues after detecting unusual activity, which officials hesitate to label as a "hack." Several servers were taken offline for maintenance, disrupting internet access, email, and online systems across county offices, including courts and police. Court filings and payments are being processed manually, and employees report limited communication about the situation. Superior Court Clerk Connie Taylor advised bringing hard copies for upcoming hearings, while electronic payments remain paused. Officials hope to restore all servers today, but the disruptions have significantly impacted daily operations. We have opportunities for sponsors to get great engagement on these shows. Call 770.799.6810 for more info. Break: INGLES 1 STORY 4: Cobb Staff Wants 290 More Employees, $93 Million Boost in 2026 Budget Cobb County's proposed 2026 fiscal year budget includes a $92.7 million increase, largely driven by requests for 290 new full-time positions, down from last year’s 380. Key requests include 113 positions for the Sheriff’s Office as part of a $27 million budget and an $8.8 million increase for Cobb Police. Commissioner Keli Gambrill raised concerns about potential duplication of services. Public hearings on the budget and millage rate are scheduled for late June and July, with a final vote expected after the last hearing. Adjustments may be needed due to the 2025 MLB All-Star Game. STORY 5: KSU Assistant Professor Receives National Honor for Mentorship in Oncology Nursing Kennesaw State University assistant professor Chinomso Nwozichi has received the prestigious Connie Henke Yarbro Excellence in Cancer Nursing Mentorship Award from the Oncology Nursing Foundation. Honored for his dedication to mentoring future oncology nurses, Nwozichi has made significant contributions to cancer care and education globally. Since joining KSU in 2023, he has published extensively, mentored undergraduate researchers, and advanced oncology nursing education as president of the Oncology Nursing Society of Nigeria. His work emphasizes evidence-based care, leadership, and advocacy, earning him recognition as a Fellow of the American Academy of Nursing. Break: MONSTER JAM 2025_FINAL STORY 6: Dobbins Names Kennesaw Mountain Senior Airman for a Day Kennesaw Mountain High School senior Joseph Owens, a former patient at Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta, was named Airman for a Day by the U.S. Air Force’s 700th Airlift Squadron. The event, part of a partnership with Children’s Healthcare, gave Joseph a hands-on experience at Dobbins Air Reserve Base, including fire rescue training, a mock traffic stop, and trying on pilot safety gear. Adopted from Uganda, Joseph overcame severe ear infections and hearing loss with years of treatment, culminating in restored hearing. Now planning to join the U.S. Marine Corps, Joseph said the experience motivates him for his future military career. STORY 7: Tommy Nobis Center Hosts 27th Annual Galaxy of Stars Luncheon The Tommy Nobis Center will host its 27th Annual Galaxy of Stars Luncheon on April 25 at the Cobb Energy Centre, celebrating individuals with disabilities and community leaders who support them. This year’s theme, "Empowered," underscores TNC’s mission to help individuals achieve their career goals.

I can't quite believe we're here - Season 14! And what a way to kick things off because today's guest is nothing short of musical royalty. Nile Rodgers is a man whose music has shaped generations. A Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee, he's the genius behind some of the biggest songs in history, think Le Freak, Good Times, and We Are Family. As the co-founder of CHIC, he pioneered the sound of disco and funk, but his influence didn't stop there. From producing Let's Dance for David Bowie to Like a Virgin for Madonna, working with legends like Diana Ross, Duran Duran, and Daft Punk, Nile's fingerprints are all over some of the most iconic records of all time. And that's before we even get to Get Lucky, the global smash hit with Daft Punk and Pharrell that introduced his magic to a whole new generation.Beyond his music, Nile's life is an incredible story of resilience, of reinvention, and creativity. His journey from the streets of New York to the biggest stages in the world is filled with extraordinary moments which he shares with us today. And since we recorded, Nile has had even more reason to celebrate, because at the Grammys, Beyoncé officially made history by winning Country Album of the Year - Nile worked with Beyoncé on the record which we discuss on the episode today, and he's long been an advocate for breaking boundaries in music, so I can only imagine how much joy that moment brought him. We spoke in December at the stunning Royal Lancaster Hotel in London, in a beautiful suite overlooking the rooftops of the city. If you're new to the podcast, this interview is not how my voice typically sounds, I was ill and could barely speak unfortunately, but that didn't get in the way of what I look back on as a magical conversation. Destination Recap:New York city, New York, USASao Paolo, Brazil Power Station Recording Studio, New York, USA Los Angeles, California, USA JapanProvidenciales, Turks and Caicos Iceland Montana, USAKazakhstanNile and CHIC will be touring across the UK and Europe this summer, bringing the good times (literally!) to a stage near you.With thanks to Airbnb for their support of today's episode.

We're celebrating our 10th anniversary all year by digging in the vaults to re-present classic episodes with fresh commentary. Today, we're revisiting our 2015 conversation with Bill Withers.

Worst jobs! Worst s*xual experiences! Worst things about RUPAUL'S DRAG RACE! For this week's episode of DISCRETION ADVISED, hosts Marc MacNamara and John Hill are teaming up with drag icon Lady Bunny and NakedSword superstar Johnny Donovan to list off the absolute “worsts” out there today. First though, these two are talking about Marc's recent run-in with Fox News, Mike White, Heaven, Lady Gaga, Diana Ross, homophobic travel spots, and, of course, Luigi Mangione's private s*x tapes. Lady Bunny and Johnny Donovan then hop on the pod to dish on Johnny's star turn in NakedSword's PEACHES AND CREAM, Bunny's new Chappell Roan parody (HOT TO BLOW), that time Johnny had to fake a c*m shot, Marc's days as a twink in NYC, and Bunny's unfiltered thoughts on everything from Rusicals to drag clubs. Then, after Marc and John chat all about Marc's awkward glass jar experience, some toothy oral John received, and plenty of other of their personal “worsts,” the hosts welcome on democratic strategist and YouTuber Keith Edwards to discuss the gay scene in DC and some of the worst things happening over in Washington right now.

Battered Woman Syndrome is a commonly misunderstood condition that results from domestic or intimate partner violence.Maybe you've known someone in such a situation. Or you've at least heard stories about it. And you've probably thought, Why do you stay there and take it? Why don't you leave? There are support networks and shelters who can take you in, why not just go?And wondered, What drives you to try to “fix” the situation and have understanding for your abuser? Why do you act like you owe them a f**king thing?Judy Henderson, like many battered women, found herself in a situation that most of us couldn't possibly imagine. I should pause quickly and put in a trigger warning, because this story actually gets worse.See, Judy was the oldest child of eight in a Pentecostal family, raised by a father who abused her and a mother who kept trying to hold it together. The rule of the day was, don't air your dirty laundry in public, conform to public norms, and put a positive face on it.A positive face? Judy ended up in not one, but two, abusive relationships because that's what she'd been conditioned to. The final straw in her 12-year marriage was when her husband threw her through a glass door window while her young daughter watched before running down the street screaming. Police were called but told her there was nothing they could do. Her next relationship was with a con man who was fond of reading books about manipulation. He told her what she wanted to hear. One day, he announced he was moving in because she needed him to “care” for her and her children. That they could be a family. And as someone who only craved to be loved, this was.. well… a dream come true.The nightmare got worse when he ended up murdering someone in a robbery gone too far and Judy found herself as a co-defendant. She was sentenced to life in prison without parole for 50 years, for this murder she did not commit. He walked away a free man. And yeah, there's more…Yet… through her time in prison, Judy finally found not only her freedom from a horrible life, but also an ability to forgive and the love she always wanted.It's an unbelievably incredible story, and Judy is telling it here on Fine is a 4-Letter Word in a way she's never shared before. In a moment, when you meet her, you'll come away with a revised view on domestic violence, the criminal justice system, and how someone can find hope in tragedy.Judy's hype song is "It's My Turn" by Diana Ross.Resources:Judy Henderson's website: https://judyannhenderson.com/ Pre-order your copy of Judy's book, “When The Light Finds Us” - https://www.amazon.com/When-Light-Finds-Us-Transformed-ebook/dp/B0CR93DD34 Invitation from Lori: This episode is sponsored by Zen Rabbit.Smart business leaders know trust is the foundation of every great workplace. And in today's hybrid and fast-moving work culture, trust isn't built in quarterly town halls or the occasional Slack message. It's built through consistent, clear, and HUMAN communication. Companies and leaders TALK about the importance of connection and community. And it's easy to believe your organization is doing a great job of maintaining an awesome corporate culture because you've got annual all-hands meetings and open door policies, and “fun" team-building events.But let's be real. Leaders who are serious about building real trust are finding better ways to strengthen culture, create connection, and foster community.That's...

Well, here we are again, back in the trenches of musical altruism, digging through the chaos and cocaine fumes of We Are the World. In our final part of this double header, we examine the actual recording process—a night filled with megastars, massive egos, and the creeping existential dread of Bob Dylan. We cover: Lionel Richie's unexpected side hustle as a musical firefighter, putting out diva-induced blazes. Quincy Jones' increasing exasperation as some of the greatest voices in music fail to hit their notes. Michael Jackson going off the deep end with Sheyla-Sheyla (which is absolutely, 100% real). Stevie Wonder offering to guide Ray Charles to the loo, leading to perhaps the only acceptable "blind leading the blind" joke in history. Prince skipping the whole thing to eat Mexican food down the road. Cindy Lauper causing technical difficulties by jingling like a Christmas tree made entirely of cheap jewellery. Diana Ross possibly being the most accidentally terrifying sweetheart of all time. Also: did this song actually make a difference? Or was it just the moment that finally convinced Michael Jackson he was the second coming? We get into all of that, while trying to decide whether the song is a masterpiece or just a very elaborate Pepsi advert. 00:00 Podcast Introduction and Banter 01:12 Podcast Admin and Patreon Promotion 04:42 Recording 'We Are the World': Setting the Scene 04:47 Quincy Jones and the Ensemble Choruses 07:03 Challenges and Tensions in the Studio 13:49 Prince's Absence and Sheila E's Disappointment 17:23 Final Takes and Notable Moments 25:14 Reflections and Aftermath 30:27 Michael Jackson's Missionary Phase 31:37 The Concept of an Artist's Imperial Moment 32:45 The Role of MTV and Charity Singles 34:09 Critiques and Controversies of Charity Campaigns 35:20 Bandaid vs. USA for Africa: Distribution and Impact 37:56 Political Complexities of Ethiopian Famine 44:08 Mismanagement and Consequences of Aid 47:02 USA for Africa's Long-Term Development Approach 49:53 Cultural Impact and Legacy of Charity Singles 52:39 Conclusion: Achievements and Lessons Learned
Host Sandra Abrams chats with publishing trailblazer Regina Jones and Soraya Sélène, one of the co-directors of the new documentary, “WHO THE HELL IS REGINA JONES?” The film tells the remarkable story of Jones's journey from being a financially struggling young mother of five to witnessing the Watts Rebellion in 1965 to creating and running SOUL newspaper. SOUL became a nationwide publication, scoring scoop after scoop with some of the era's biggest artists, like Aretha Franklin, James Brown, Diana Ross, Gladys Knight, and Stevie Wonder. SOUL was where Black artists could get coverage. After her marriage ended, the newspaper shuttered, and her mother died, Jones explains how as a Black woman she navigated all the trials of life during that tumultuous time. Regina and Soraya also reveal how the film came to life thanks in part to the amazing SOUL archive that Jones's grandson is preserving.

Ledisi är mer än mezzosopranen med ett röstomfång på fyra oktaver, som rör sig fritt mellan soul, jazz och R&B. Hon är historieberättaren som på ett dussin album serverat låtar med hopp, svärta och en social underström. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Ledisi föddes in i musiken och myterna. Hennes farfar var rhythm and bluesartisten Johnny Ace (”Pledging my love”), som dog 25 år gammal juldagen 1954 efter att ha skjutit sig själv i huvudet. Det ansågs vara en olyckshändelse. Pappan Larry Saunders, eller Prophet of Soul, är känd för rare groove-favoriten ”On the real side”. Redan åtta år gammal uppträdde Ledisi med New Orleans symfoniorkester. Hon bar på känslan att om hon inte sjöng så gillade ingen henne.I timme två blir det ett tidsdokument från det tidiga 00-talet. Mats Nileskärs möte med Luther Vandross i en skivstudio i New York dagen innan Luther drabbades av en stroke som skulle innebära slutet på en av soulmusikens mest framgångsrika karriärer.Med sin stilfulla stämma och musikaliska intuition förfinade Vandross romantisk R&B (Kendrick Lamar och SZA använder hans utgåva av Marvin Gayes ”If this world were mine” i hiten ”Luther”). Sången lät som en blandning av Arethas gospeleld, Dionne Warwicks sofistikerade tonträffar och Diana Ross ömma längtan. Men det var en mans röst som strömmade från högtalarna och förförde lyssnaren. Ett avsnitt från den 21 september 2003.

In early October 2024, attorneys Ariel Mitchell-Kidd and Steven A. Metcalf filed a motion to withdraw as legal counsel for their client, Adria English, who had accused Sean "Diddy" Combs of sexual assault and trafficking. The attorneys cited a "breakdown in the attorney-client relationship" and "irreconcilable differences" as reasons for their withdrawal. They highlighted fundamental disagreements with English regarding various aspects of the litigation, including settlement demands and the causes of action in the pleadings. Additionally, they expressed concerns over English's alleged "undermining behavior and questionable antics," which they believed hindered effective representationThe motion also referenced a separate agreement made on September 24, 2024, intended to address issues related to English's tone, lack of respect, and self-destructive activities. The attorneys claimed that English breached this agreement shortly after its establishment, leading them to conclude that continued representation was untenable. They noted that English had been in contact with another law firm for potential representation, indicating her awareness of the withdrawal. Subsequently, a federal judge granted the motion, staying the case until November 11, 2024, to allow English time to secure new legal counsel. If she fails to do so by that date, the case will proceed with her representing herself.Adria Sheri English, a former go-go dancer, has made serious allegations against Sean "Diddy" Combs, claiming that she was forced to participate in sexual activities at his infamous "freak-off" parties. English, who has filed a lawsuit against Diddy, also revealed a list of high-profile celebrities she saw at these gatherings. Among the notable figures she claims were present are Donald Trump, Diana Ross (with her underage son Evan), Paris Hilton, Ja Rule, Busta Rhymes, and Reverend Al Sharpton. English expressed surprise at seeing some of these individuals, particularly Reverend Al Sharpton, at such controversial events.English alleges that while these celebrities attended the main parties, the "freak-offs" took place in secluded rooms away from the main events, suggesting that many of the partygoers may not have been aware of the more sinister activities happening behind closed doors. English also claimed that Diddy secretly recorded these encounters for potential blackmail purposes, further complicating the accusations against him.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Ex-porn star accusing Diddy of coercing her into 'freak offs' recalls seeing Rev.
