I Feel So Free A Sunday Edition Bonus Homage and Some Fashionable Announcements The Sunday Edition Family of Podcasts and Digital Media Content Services proudly presents a special bonus episode that slips somewhere between a dance floor confession, a karaoke fever dream and a love letter to the Queen of Pop herself. In this special release, Anthony Corona steps behind the microphone for a heartfelt homage to Madonna with his own spirited interpretation of I Feel So Free, the promotional single from the upcoming album Confessions on the Dance Floor Part 2. This is not simply karaoke. This is karaoke plus. A little theatrical. A little nostalgic. A little sweaty disco ball magic at 2 AM. Featuring additional remixing, atmospheric textures, layered vocals and playful surprises by Anthony's friend Holly Anderson, the performance blends classic Madonna inspiration with Anthony's own storytelling energy and dramatic flair. The track pulses with echoes of Into the Groove, the hypnotic heartbeat of Donna Summer's I Feel Love and the fearless release of a crowded dance floor where strangers become family for one glitter soaked evening. At its core, the song becomes a celebration of identity, freedom, joy and the healing power of music. It is about safety in numbers. It is about chosen family. It is about surviving the world outside long enough to lose yourself inside the rhythm for a little while. Part homage. Part remix. Part performance art. Part late night living room dance party with the furniture pushed dangerously too close to the walls. This bonus episode also shines a light on the growing Sunday Edition family of podcasts and digital media projects. Listeners can explore all Sunday Edition programming, special events and streaming content anytime at: www.anthonycorona.com Simply click the Corona FM tab to listen live 24 hours a day. We also spotlight our Intimate Evening series, happening the first Monday of every month at 8 PM Eastern on Corona FM and 2020 The Beacon. Recent highlights include the beautiful and soul stirring conversation with Annie Donnellon whose stories, humor and music reminded us all that vulnerability can sometimes sing louder than perfection. Listeners are also encouraged to check out Apple Batter Up by Cheryl McNeil Fisher now available in the Sunday Edition with Anthony Corona podcast feed. And of course, do not forget Behind the Music, Your Song, Your Story, happening live every second and fourth Friday night where performers, storytellers and music lovers gather to share songs, laughter, memories and moments that matter. If you would like to participate in future broadcasts, submit music or connect with the Sunday Edition family, please see the contact information in the show notes. Until then, turn the lights low.

I denne uges udsendelse svinger vi med de røde faner, og det gør vi i anledningen af Arbejdernes Kampdag. Siden 1890 har vi i Danmark fejret denne dag, og derfor har vi lavet en 1. maj special, hvor vi har valgt 15 numre som alle tager udgangspunkt i arbejderen. Både dem der nyder arbejdet, dem der gerne vil have bedre vilkår, dem der synes det er hårdt og dem som bare glæder sig til at komme hjem fra fabrikken igen. Vi prøver at definere, hvad der kendetegner musik til arbejderklassen, med kunstnere som f.eks. Bruce Springsteen, Kim Larsen og The Clash. Men det bliver selvfølgelig også til sange der bare kredser om ”det at arbejde” med kunstnere som Donna Summer, Dolly Parton, John Lennon og Bikstok Røgsystem. Derudover prøver vi også at huske ReBus-konflikten fra 1994, vi mindes vores oplevelser med politiet i Liverpool, vi vurderer hvad det mon koster at købe hele Skærgården, vi serverer morgenmad for Seabass, og så bliver der også lige plads til Arne Würgler fans, Australien, musikalske håndgemæng, skænderier om Big Fat Snake, Jared Kushner som sanger, Erik Clausen som Vincent Price og rengøringsdamen Inga. Playliste: Troels Trier - Arbejdsløs John Lennon - Working class hero ABBA - Money, money, money Elvis Costello - Welcome to the working week Bruce Springsteen - Factory Kim Larsen - Blip-båt Dolly Parton - 9 to 5 The Clash - The magnificent seven Donna Summer - She works hard for the money The Bangles - Manic Monday Billy Bragg - There is power in a union Tracy Chapman - Talkin' bout a revolution Bikstok Røgsystem feat.

 Brian Edwards carved his path alongside icons like Donna Summer and Joan Rivers. Over the decades, he built a reputation as a multi-award-winning talent executive, client relations rep, producer, writer, and occasional performer – working with some of the most recognizable names in show business: Cindy Crawford, Susan Sarandon, Melissa Rivers, Whoopi Goldberg, Farrah Fawcett, Shirley Jones, Naomi Judd, and Vanessa Williams—just to name a few. As a tribute to his work with the legendary Queen of Disco, his legacy even takes the stage in the Tony-nominated Summer: The Donna Summer Musical, where Edwards is portrayed—reminding us that the voices behind the scenes deserve to be honored just as boldly as those in front of them.Edwards has now released his third collection of life stories, Come Sit With Me and Let's Talk—an unfiltered, heartfelt companion to his multi-award winning books, Enter Miss Thang (2013) and I Might Have Been Queen (2019). This latest volume distills Edwards' singular journey into the intimacy of a heart-to-heart, blending the most memorable stories from his earlier books with fresh recollections, untold chapters, and photos. He shares the triumphs and trials that shaped a career defined by resilience, recognition, and influence—offering perspective, encouragement, and the kind of advice that only comes from living it.Support the show

When you think of disco, a lot of names come to mind: Donna Summer, Gloria Gaynor, Bee Gees, Chic. The name Yvonne Elliman, however, might not be one you've even heard…but you've certainly heard her biggest hit. “If I Can't Have You” hit #1 on the Hot 100 in May of 1978, and it was part of a parade of hits from the Saturday Night Fever soundtrack. Though the song was originally intended to be another Bee Gees single, they wisely made the decision to let Yvonne Elliman's passionate vocal performance be the definitive version of the song, making it a tune that still resonates with people today. But when it comes to the rest of Yvonne's catalog, were we strong enough to see it through? Tune in to find out.

I first published this episode two and a half years ago in June 2023, in commemoration of the death of the great Tina Turner. As always when I take on such an iconic figure, I try to give a different perspective on the artist in question than one would normally encounter. For this reason, I chose to frame Tina within the context of the many other female pop artists of color who emigrated to Europe and the UK. I have devoted a lot of time, space, and research to the Black opera singers who came here, but there is an equally fascinating story to be told about the pop singers of many eras and genres, who also chose to make Europe their home. Though this episode focuses primarily on Tina and some of the less-explored material throughout her career, I seek to contextualize her by also discussing the many African American singers, from Joséphine Baker to Donna Summer to Nina Simone to Dee Dee Bridgewater, who either spent formative time in Europe or settled there permanently. Along with the aforementioned favorites, I also focus on lesser-known artists such as Beauty Milton, Vickie Henderson, and Betty Dorsey, including a brief introduction to each of four singers who will be featured in their own episodes during Black History Month: Adelaide Hall (coming on Monday!), Elisabeth Welch, Bertice Reading, and Salena Jones (who just recently celebrated her 82nd birthday). Count on Countermelody (and me!) to always bring you something a little different! Countermelody is the podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and author yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

This week we're sharing a series of episodes that capture one of our favorite themes on Second Act Stories: the moment when life changes key. These Key Changes episodes feature people whose lives have been shaped by music: some who left it behind for something new; others who found their way to it later than expected. Together, they're the stories we return to when we want to show how reinvention really works, not as a clean break, but as a shift in rhythm, perspective, and purpose. Whether you're a longtime listener or just discovering the show, these episodes reflect the heart of the podcast: bold pivots, unexpected harmony, and second acts that still have plenty to say. Jeff "Skunk" Baxter is a rock and roll legend. He was the founding lead guitarist in Steely Dan, and he was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame as a member of the Doobie Brothers. As a hired gun, he's played with a who's who of music royalty, including Linda Ronstadt, Donna Summer, Elton John, Eric Clapton, Ringo Starr, Dolly Parton, Carly Simon… the list goes on and on. From the time he was a child, the mechanically inclined Baxter loved taking things apart to see how they worked and putting them back together. He became an expert guitar repair technician and built custom guitars. He traded a custom white Fender Stratocaster he built in the 1960s to Jimi James, who would later re-emerge as the legendary Jimi Hendrix. In the 1980s, Skunk parlayed his more-than-casual interest in all things technical into a career as a missile defense consultant. After writing a paper that was quickly classified, he received the necessary clearances and now regularly consults with the U.S. government, the Pentagon and the Joint Chiefs on topics including counterterrorism and wargaming. Skunk just released a new solo album, his first, called Speed of Heat. Please enjoy our exciting deep dive into the second act of one of rock's greatest guitarists. ******* If you enjoy Second Act Stories, please leave us a review here.

In his new book B-Sides: A Flipsided History of Pop (Headpress, 2023), Andy Cowan explores a century of music b-sides. Pop music would be a different beast without the B-Side. Music history is riven with songs deemed throwaway that revolted against their lowly status and refused to be denied. Be it rock'n'roll's national anthem ('Rock Around The Clock'), disco's enduring game-changer ('I Feel Love') or hip-hop's most notorious dis track ('Hit 'Em Up'), all three started life as the so-called 'lesser' track on releases primed for maximum chart impact. But the B-side has done much more than make stars of Bill Haley, Donna Summer and 2Pac. Whether it was the Beatles, the Kinks and the Yardbirds in the 60s, Elton John, the Who and Queen in the 70s, Depeche Mode, the Cure and Prince in the 80s, or Oasis, Pulp and Radiohead in the 90s, the B-side allowed many of the world's greatest artists freedom to experiment with no commercial constraints in an age where physical product ruled the roost. A quickfire A-Z of 500+ flips, B-SIDE is the first serious examination of the format's covert role in pushing the musical envelope. Best read with one eye on YouTube and one ear on a streaming service, its revelations will prick up the ears of music fans of all persuasions.

A lesson in "diva house and horniness" from a modern New York darling. Ask Kilopatrah Jones who their favourite DJ is, and they'll give you an unequivocal answer: Junior Vasquez. And the influence is telling. Both born and raised in Queens, the two share a sense of house as a life force. Not in a new-age, spiritual sense. For Jones, it means being "sweaty, panting and free." The NYC DJ can play anything from techno to drum & bass, but when playing house, there's a particular sense of clarity: they understand the genre in the same lineage as Vasquez, Larry Levan and his peers, as the sound of reinvention, transgression, glamour and joy. Across the following two hours, RA.1013 immerses you in that world. It feels like walking into the Sound Factory at peak-time, bodies in glorious motion, fog thick in the air. The Lot Radio resident runs through familiar classics, bringing it home with a gag-inducing sweep of Donna Summer, Celine Dion, CeCe Peniston—and fittingly ends with Madonna, a wink to Jones's hero and his defining moment, "If Madonna Calls." Jones' RA Mix also reasserts the idea that clubs should be a place of joy. Not only for our individual needs and fulfillment, but as a political act—especially for marginalised folk. Arriving at a time when systemic regression and cultural decay feels increasingly pervasive, they is a model for what DJs and dance floors can, and arguably should be. As they put it, "I'm just so happy and grateful to be alive and in this body." Find the tracklist and Q&A at ra.co/podcast/1032

In the seventh installment of Sekret Machine Music, Dimitri and Khalid explore the origins and colossal impact of West German electro-pop pioneers Kraftwerk, including: the looming influence of Karlheinz Stockhausen, the Cologne-based Studio for Electronic Music and its murky entanglements with Cultural Cold War operations, the late 60s rise of ‘krautrock' and attempts to forge a new organic post-Nazi German identity, the ambiguities around cultural symbolism on 1974's “Autobahn” and nuclear power on 1975's “Radioactivity”, the US/UK success of their seminal 1977 album “Trans-Europe Express”, Kraftwerk blowing up on African-American radio stations in the northeast and midwest, leaning into the “robotic” German stereotypes, the gradual introduction of Kraftwerk's music onto the discotheque dancefloors of the late 1970s, the birth of disco in gay bathhouses, Giorgio Moroder and Donna Summer forever marrying synthesizers and disco together with “I Feel Love”, and the strange proto-MAGA rockist culture war that culminated in Chicago's “Disco Demolition Night” riot of 1979… For access to premium SJ episodes, upcoming installments of DEMON FORCES, and the Grotto of Truth Discord, subscribe at https://patreon.com/subliminaljihad.
