Jody Teiche spent three decades as a high-powered celebrity publicist for icons like John Mellencamp and Duran Duran before chronic burnout forced her to completely rethink her life. That transformation led her to develop the groundbreaking "Think and Grow Young" method that's helping people reclaim their youthfulness at any age.In this eye-opening conversation, Jody breaks down her three-pillar approach to reversing aging. Starting with gut health (where all chronic inflammation begins), she offers practical strategies to repair your gut microbiome. She then explores how visualizing what you want with emotion literally creates new neural pathways and sends high-frequency energy that attracts positive outcomes. The discussion expands to immune system support through specific foods, supplements, and practices that increase nitric oxide. Jody also emphasizes the vital importance of community, especially as we age, sharing remarkable stories of transformation like "Angie," who went from anxiety and chronic health issues after losing her husband to rediscovering joy and capability within just six months.Whether you're experiencing burnout, noticing signs of aging, or simply want to maximize your vitality, this conversation offers accessible, science-backed strategies to help you feel and function years younger than your chronological age.

Keyboardist Rob Preuss talks about joining Spoons at age 15 in grade 11, carrying a permission slip from his Mom to get into club gigs, recording with Danny Lanois, enjoying Whoppers at Burger King with Boy George, being approached backstage by Sting/Steve Winwood/Nile Rodgers, driving his parents' station wagon to audition for Honeymoon Suite and 3 days later opening for Journey in Kansas City, recording the theme for Lethal Weapon in LA, losing a Juno with Spoons but winning a Juno with Honeymoon Suite, his honest assessment of Paul Stanley's run as the Phantom (of the Opera, duh!), performing at Massey Hall NOT as a rockstar but as part of the Cats production, his interactions with David Furnish/Rod Stewart/Carol Pope/Hugh Grant, personally giving Duran Duran's Nick Rhodes props for using the Roland Jupiter 4 synthesizer, and getting a ‘Piano Coach' film credit for teaching Mr Robot's Ramy Malek how to play Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody!

In this radical episode of Past Tens: A Top 10 Time Machine, Dave and Milt hop in their DeLorean — flux capacitor fully operational — and set the date for June 16, 1984. They're not just cruising through the Billboard Top 10; they're living it like extras in Footloose. The episode kicks off with a heartfelt and totally tubular tribute to Dave's late father — think The Karate Kid's Mr. Miyagi, but with better dad jokes. From there, it's a parade of parachute pants, popped collars, and personal memories as they discuss the artists who ruled the airwaves: Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, Duran Duran, and Cyndi Lauper — basically the Justice League of 1984 pop. Of course, it wouldn't be Past Tens without a few twists. There's a Playdate Quiz that would stump even The NeverEnding Story's Atreyu, a musical mashup segment that's more chaotic than Gremlins after midnight, and their signature song substitution game — think Indiana Jones swapping the idol for a bag of sand, but with Huey Lewis tracks. Some highlights: 00:54: A heartfelt memorial for Dave's father, complete with more heart than Kevin Bacon dancing alone in a warehouse. 08:33: Pop Culture Highlights: Ghostbusters hit theaters, Purple Rain was on the horizon, and nobody put Baby in a corner (yet — Dirty Dancing was still a few years away). 15:22: Countdown kicks off — Night Ranger's “Sister Christian” taught us all what "motoring" really means (spoiler: it's not what your dad thinks). 38:01: Musical Mashups — imagine Footloose meets Thriller but performed by the cast of Revenge of the Nerds. 39:22: Laura Branigan's “Self Control” — the unofficial soundtrack to sneaking out past curfew in 1984. 44:54: Huey Lewis reminds everyone that the heart of rock and roll is still beating — even if it's wearing leg warmers. 59:33: Steve Perry's “Oh Sherrie,” a ballad so powerful it could get E.T. to phone home twice. 01:19:50: Cyndi Lauper's “Time After Time” — guaranteed to make even the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man misty-eyed. 01:23:15: Cyndi's legendary ties to the wrestling world — she could literally have body-slammed a Goonie. Milt also teases his upcoming trip to Africa, though we're unclear whether he'll be traveling by Toto song or Temple of Doom bridge. It's a journey that's equal parts nostalgia, musicology, and a John Hughes movie montage. Crank up your Walkman and join the ride — just don't feed Milt after midnight.

Ridge and Dayton talk Dayton's trip to Edmonton for a mini GT and share their thoughts on some sneaky new updates. 

Lee Calvert from the outstanding Blood & Mud rugby podcast joined Brett McKay & Harry Jones on The 8-9 Combo Rugby Podcast to try and make sense of a Champions Cup Final that not too many saw coming, to contemplate where, if anywhere, Northampton and Bordeaux will find their point of difference, and just where 1980s mega group Duran Duran fits into this complicated picture. Plus, Lee shares some thoughts on the latest developments in Welsh Rugby, where having maintained four professional sides equally as part of a long-term strategy launched in 2024, the WRU announced an intention to implement a new two-tier funding system amid reports it intends to cut a team from its professional tier, reports which the Union has neither confirmed nor denied.

Je vous l'ai dit, et vous le devinez sans peine, il vaut mieux voir le Festival de Cannes à la télé que sur place. Sur place, on ne voit rien, et quand il se passe quelque chose, c'est la cohue, ça dure deux secondes et c'est terminé. Ou alors il faut avoir un rendez-vous et ça, c'est autre chose. Et puis, il y a des jours plus calmes que d'autres, ça dépend en fait de qui va monter les marches le soir, car à un moment où l'autre, ce “qui” va se déplacer en ville, se pointer dans un restau ou une fête au milieu de la nuit. Ainsi de ce 8 mai 1997, où l'hôtel Carlton est en ébullition. Oh on a l'habitude de voir des stars au Carlton, 14 ans plus tôt Elton John y a même tourné un clip mythique … les murs de sa suite se souviennent encore de la fiesta qu'il y a faite avec les musiciens de Duran Duran. Mais revenons à ce 8 mai 1997 où il n'y a non seulement pas moyen de passer sur le trottoir devant, ni de déambuler dans le hall car Michael Jackson arrive. Que vient-il y faire ? Et bien, présenter en avant-première son film Ghosts ? Un moyen métrage d'une demi-heure, il refait le coup du clip grand format de Thriller en 1983. Mais ici, c'est plus grand, plus long, plus fort. La projection a lieu à minuit, évidemment, il fallait y penser. C'est donc sur une Croisette nocturne que sa limousine s'engage après qu'il ait, tout sourire, réussi à s'extirper non pas de la foule mais de la cohue des cameramen et photographes qui l'attendent dans le hall. Ah oui, plus de 200 chaînes de télé et titres de presse de 70 pays sont accrédités pour cette soirée.Sur le trajet, relativement court, entre l'hôtel et le palais des festivals, quelques jeunes fans courent à côté de la voiture, l'ambiance est bon enfant, sans stress, m'enfin, on est un peu étonnés d'en voir une courir très vite en tenant ses béquilles dans la main gauche. A l'arrivée, pas moyen de sortir, trop de monde, la foule déborde, il y a même des gens perchés dans les palmiers, le chauffeur s'arrête donc avant l'espace du photocall pour permettre au service d'ordre et aux gardes du corps persos de se frayer un chemin. Grosses bousculades dans le public, des photographes râlent car ils n'ont rien obtenu de valable, Michael est passé trop vite, mais finalement, ça s'est bien passé, on attaque le tapis rouge. Michael se retourne vers le public pour un salut souriant mais trop vite à nouveau pour les photographes qui pestent à nouveau. Les fans, eux, sont heureux de ces quelques secondes où ils ont vu leur idole en vrai. Ça valait bien les deux heures d'attente et les centaines de kilomètres parcourus. Et puis les plus organisés d'entre eux qui ont fait le pied de grue la veille sous le soleil de la croisette, l'ont vu sortir sur le balcon de sa suite au Carlton. Ils ont crié après lui, Michael s'est penché au balcon et a répondu en faisant signe de la main. Il était bien plus cool que ce soir où malgré les sourires, on voit bien que les apparitions mondaines, ce n'est pas son truc.Ce n'est pas la première fois qu'un chanteur fait une apparition remarquée à Cannes pour une raison autre que le cinéma, John Lennon l'avait déjà précédé, George Harrison aussi, et encore, du temps des Beatles, il s'agit ce soir d'un vidéoclip mais la télé n'est-elle pas, après tout, la fiancée du Festival de Cannes. En tout cas le film Ghosts, ben, il tient ses promesses. Michael y joue plusieurs rôles dont certains sont inattendus, c'est un clip qu'il faut voir au moins une fois dans sa vie, surtout qu'un budget pareil, vu l'état du marché aujourd'hui, on n'est plus près d'en voir un.

In Episode 410 of Friends Talking Nerdy, Professor Aubrey and Tim the Nerd bring listeners an entertaining and eclectic mix of music and movie talk in an episode packed with personality, passion, and plenty of nerdy insight.First up, the duo dive into a thematic musical countdown as they each share and discuss their Top 5 Favorite Songs About Animals. Expect a fun, energetic discussion as they explore a diverse playlist that spans decades and genres. From the primal pop punch of Duran Duran's “Hungry Like the Wolf” and the punk-infused chaos of The Trashmen's “Surfin' Bird,” to the introspective lyricism of The Beatles' “Blackbird” and the surreal surf rock of The B-52s' “Rock Lobster,” the conversation flows freely through musical memories and personal associations. Other notable tracks include the haunting message of “Meat Is Murder” by The Smiths, the raucous rebellion of W.A.S.P.'s “Animal (Fuck Like A Beast),” and the biblical whimsy of Bob Dylan's “Man Gave Names to All the Animals.” Rounding out the playlist are the motivational anthem “Eye of the Tiger” by Survivor, Dylan's traditional folk nod “Froggy Went A Courtin',” and the poignant “Free As a Bird” by The Beatles. Check out the playlist on YouTube.In the second half of the episode, Tim the Nerd takes center stage to tackle the latest shake-up in the world of cinema: Amazon's acquisition of EON Productions' stake in the James Bond franchise. Tim offers his analysis on what this means for the future of 007, raising questions about creative control, the potential for expanded Bond content beyond the traditional film format, and the challenges of maintaining the franchise's integrity under corporate influence. Will Bond's mystique survive the streaming era, or are we in for a reinvention of the world's most iconic spy?As always, we wish to thank Christopher Lazarek for his wonderful theme song.

Welcome back to Bubbles' Mushrooms - It's a podcast! This week starts off just like any other and this week is no exception. Renee is back and she doesn't wanna intro the show for some reason but she definitely has an anecdote this week. Renee tells us about her most recent vacation to San Diego and how much of a wuss her son is, how expensive it is to eat a turkey sandwich at ORD and the joys of dealing with the TSA. This week is a sequel of sorts. That's right, we're revisiting our top music videos. Since we already did the 1990's we will be doing the other classic decade of music - the 1980's. Will Edward have Duran Duran on his list? Will Renee have Guns N Roses on hers? Does Cher have a stinky crotch? Hear about how Jac loves music videos combining classic rock and hip-hop, Luke loves gangsta rap and Katie is way into... Fish Heads? Grab a Bud Dry and a bag of Pizzaria Chips, do the truffle shuffle and time travel back to the olden times with us this week only on the Bubbles' Mushrooms Podcast Program! #sandiego #barnesandbarnes #mtv #1980s #musicvideos #chappelroan #ohare #nwa #aerosmith #rundmc #madonna #cher #wearetheworld #period #tompetty #goonies #captainloualbano #ironshiek #janetjackson #oneeyedwilly #lipsyncbattle

Send us a textChristian, the lead singer and bassist for The Ritualists, stops by the show to discuss bass playing, the new album Too Pure to Cure, cooking, history, and more.*****NYC-based The Ritualists' upcoming album, Too Pure To Cure (out now) is a trip. Produced and mixed by GRAMMY-winner Mario J McNulty (David Bowie, Nine Inch Nails, Prince), the album is packed with the band's signature mix of goth, glam, and modern rock, all wrapped up in their larger-than-life energy.Following their darkly danceable single "You Know Better", the band has recently released "The Wake" —a soaring, synth-heavy anthem inspired by classic ‘80s dark fantasy films (The NeverEnding Story, anyone?) and the shimmering hooks of the New Romantic era. Frontman Christian Dryden describes it as a reflection on childhood, resilience, and the ability to pull oneself out of tough situations. And it's already earned praise from The NeverEnding Story theme song's own (and fellow Reybee client) Limahl, who says:"I really like this—a little surreal, very melodic and with a video that has a classic early '80s vibe. The chorus asks, ‘Whoever wakes up?' — well, I just did, to The Ritualists!" Tracks on the album range from "King of Air," a surrealist reflection on feeling misunderstood, to "Every Thread," which juxtaposes cosmic insignificance with the universal pangs of love and envy. And of course, there's the title track, "Too Pure to Cure," which lead vocalist/songwriter Christian Dryden describes as less of a protest and more of a shoulder shrug—it's a declaration of knowing who you are and refusing to be “cured” of it. The Ritualists are Christian Dryden (vocals, bass), Jeffrey Andrew (keyboards), David Andreana (guitars), and Eric Kuby (drums). Too Pure To Cure is available on all streaming platforms today. *****If you would like to contact the show about being a guest, please email us at Dauna@bettertopodcast.comUpcoming guests can be found: https://dmneedom.com/upcoming-guest Follow us on Social MediaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/author_d.m.needom/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bettertopodcastwithdmneedomIntro and Outro music compliments of Fast Suzi©2025 Better To...Podcast with D.

Laguna Beach, California-based singer, songwriter, guitar and piano player who just last month released a brand-new album. Her prior album had been done with a three-time GRAMMY-nominated producer and was released on the same record label that has artists such as Moby, Duran Duran, and Yoko Ono on its roster. She has been featured by USA Today, Rolling Stone, Billboard, American Songwriter, Harpers Bazaar, Glamour, and more. Last November she even attended the Billboard Awards, which she talks about during this interview. She also talks here about surviving a near-death experience while giving birth to her twin boys. In addition to her music, she has launched Lovendar, a lavender-based fragrance line that is a nod to the healing journey behind her album. She has more than 425 thousand streams on her top five songs on Spotify alone.

Send us a textLimahl stops by the show to discuss his latest release, how taking a chance with Nick Rhodes from Duran Duran helped his band get a record deal, coming out to his Mum, and so much more. *******“The original ‘70s track has been a favorite on my 'Evening' playlist for a long time,” says UK music topliner LIMAHL about his reimagining of the classic folk/rock hit “A Horse With No Name” that is released via Christopher Music on Tuesday, March 25, 2025. “The idea to reimagine it was always ticking away in  the back of my mind.”The song was first released in 1971 in the UK (1972 in the US). The original was composed and performed by folk rock trio America and topped Billboard's Hot 100 and Easy Listening charts (it reached #3 on the UK Singles chart and was certified gold in 1972). Adapting the ‘70s musical aesthetics and injecting a bit of ‘90s electronica, Limahl's updated version of the song carries a bit of a retro-futuristic quality that feels equally at home in 2025. “The ‘90s have been enjoying a revival which prompted me to experiment with the drums/rhythms from that decade,” he explains. “Then the jerky, ‘Jupiter 8' analogue synthesizer/sequencer was added with a filtering envelope, and it became an important personality in the track.” He also toyed with the iconic non-lexical “la la” vocal and updated it, incorporating it further into the song. Absent on the ‘70s original but included in this rendition is the ‘la la' motif in the intro, the key-change on the last verse, and in the final chorus, the ‘la la's' crisscrossing the main lyric with the melody. Saying that, almost as an afterthought, a guitar from standout musician Steve Cooper was added, and it became the "icing on the cake.”The resulting track transforms the classic folk track with a mesmerizing and hypnotic synth-dominated swirl, making the song pop and click in ways that would have been unimaginable in the 1970s. The equally mesmerizing accompanying video bursts with surreal and psychedelic imagery, reflecting the song's hallucinatory spirit. Winning the hearts of millions of fans in the ‘80s as the lead singer of British band Kajagoogoo, Limahl enjoyed the instant celebrity of hitting the top of the charts with their debut single "Too Shy" (75million+ streams to date) which was followed by two more Top 20 hits "Ooh To Be Ah" and "Hang On Now" (all of which he co-wrote). Limahl struck out on his own and soon re-emerged in the charts again with his first solo single "Only For Love," That was quickly followed with the Giorgio Moroder–produced worldwide smash "Neverending Story" (151million+ streams to date)," the theme song from the hit film of the same name.Website: http://www.limahl.com/*****If you would like to contact the show about being a guest, please email us at Dauna@bettertopodcast.comUpcoming guests can be found: https://dmneedom.com/upcoming-guest Follow us on Social MediaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/author_d.m.needom/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bettertopodcastwithdmneedomIntro and Outro music compliments of Fast Suzi©2025 Better To...Podcast with D.

Weird Al Yankovic joins Samantha Bee to discuss their unique meet-cute, and how their interview came to be due to a scam gone right. Al tells Sam about how he’s actually happy with all the choices he’s made in life except (other than wishing he had bought Apple stock) and yet he agonizes over little decisions—especially when editing music videos. Al explains knowing that his first decision is usually the best one, and why he chooses to live on a tour bus for 3.5 months instead of sleeping in hotels. He reveals that the ultimate dig at him is when people say he’s talented enough to do “real music”, why record companies beg for Christmas albums, and turning down an opportunity to open for Duran Duran at Madison Square Garden.

In episode 14 of my 007 series, I'm diving into A View to a Kill — the final James Bond film starring Roger Moore — and pairing it with the bold and sweet Maestro Dobel Pavito Blanco Tequila.

“Lived Through That” is the companion podcast to my book where I look at influential musicians of the 80s and 90s and where they are today. On this podcast, we'll delve deeper into a single pivotal moment in the lives of some of the artists I feature in that book, as well as other artists I love and admire. The stories they tell are open, honest, and inspiring. This week, we're doing something a little different.  We're talking to music journalist and author Annie Zaleski, who has contributed to The Guardian,  NPR Music, Rolling Stone, and many others. She's written best selling books on Taylor Swift, Lady Gaga, and my personal favorite – her 33 1/3 book on Duran Duran's "Rio."   Her newest book is titled “I Got You Babe: A Celebration of Cher,” which will be in bookstores on May 6, 2025.  Annie talks about her work on this book, her 33 1/3 book on Duran Duran's "Rio," and her early days in music journalism.  Music credits: ⁠Blue Dot Sessions⁠ Annie Zaleski's Site Be sure to look out for my books, "Lived Through That" and "80s Redux" where ever you buy your books!

Late April and May is a special time in Australia, the UK and the USA where we commemorate our returned soldiers and remember those who fought so bravely to provide the freedom we deeply appreciate and enjoy today. Lest we forget. Inspiring us with loyalty, mateship and bravery, a little band of brothers from the Northern Beaches of Sydney channeled the courage of our war heroes to traverse the globe with no guarantees, promises or favours to become the biggest band on the planet between 1988-1990 with style, sacrifice and substance. In no way are we comparing the ultimate sacrifice of our war heroes to INXS however the DNA of true Aussie mateship, loyalty, commitment perseverance were traits INXS drew upon when many other bands before them disappeared after so much promise. So Bee and I count down individually our “Top 7 moments” when INXS bravely fought against the odds, self-doubt and industry challenges to usurp their contemporaries such as Dire Straits, U2, The Police, Simple Minds and Duran Duran to become the biggest band in the world. Typically our lists vary but the sentiment and unabashed pride in INXS' achievements evoke similarly. So sit back and take a moment to enjoy the characteristics and attributes that created INXS' success not just the outcomes. Love and peace https://www.inxsaccessallareas.com/ https://www.inductinxs.com/signthepetition

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.

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!

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.
