Some musicians learn the blues. Others are raised inside it.Today I sit down with Doyle Bramhall II, one of the most distinctive voices in modern blues guitar and contemporary roots music. Raised in Texas as the son of legendary musician Doyle Bramhall, he grew up surrounded by the raw musical energy of the Austin music scene, absorbing the sounds of blues and rock from an early age.Doyle has built a remarkable career as a guitarist, vocalist, composer, and producer, collaborating with artists including Eric Clapton, Elton John, Gary Clark Jr., Dr. John, Gregg Allman, Sheryl Crow, and Erykah Badu. His playing style is instantly recognizable, partly because he plays left-handed with a guitar strung for a right-handed player and flipped upside down.We dive into the fascinating origins of his musical journey, including the moment when a visit from someone special inspired him to take the guitar seriously. Doyle shares his insight into his personal work developing the Ultimate Breakthrough, a process designed to support energetic and consciousness shifts aligned with one's purpose.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[07:53] Growing up inside the Austin blues scene[17:03] How playing guitar upside down led to the Eric Clapton gig[38:54] From the Fabulous Thunderbirds to the Archangels[44:05] How Stevie's death sent Doyle into a two-year heroin spiral[57:51] What made Sly Stone one of the most innovative artists who ever lived[01:23:46] Staying sober while working with plant medicine[01:35:14] The chain of synchronicities that led Doyle from isolation to his life's calling[01:55:23] How Doyle's healing practice works and happens during a session[02:07:55] The three influences that shaped Doyle as a musicianRelated The Life Stylist Episodes:Not Just For Sleep: Melatonin | The Master Molecule + Next Level Biohacks w/ Dr. John Lieurance | PodcastThe Future Of Chronic Pain & Injury Healing W/ Drs.

Multi award-winning Canadian singer-songwriter, pianist, CBC Music national radio host and 2026 GRAMMY Award nominee Laila Biali has headlined festivals and venues spanning five continents from New York City's Carnegie Hall to Beijing's National Centre for the Performing Arts, and supported international icon Sting. Her JUNO-nominated 2023 album, Your Requests, featured a stellar cast of guests and received a 4.5 star rave review in All About Jazz. Her previous release, Out of Dust, was also JUNO nominated (in 2021) and won Laila spots on “Best Album” lists around the globe. In 2020, Laila was honoured by SOCAN Music with the Hagood Hardy Award for Excellence in Songwriting. The previous year, Laila's eponymous release won her a JUNO for “Vocal Jazz Album of the Year” and top prize at the Canadian Songwriting Competition in the Jazz category. Laila was the youngest-ever double winner at Canada's National Jazz Awards when she was named “SOCAN Composer of the Year” and “Keyboardist of the Year”, and she received her first JUNO nomination for Tracing Light in 2011. When Laila isn't on stage or in the studio, she's busy hosting CBC Music's national radio show, Saturday Night Jazz – a weekly program broadcast to millions of listeners across Canada. And while she continues to earn high honours in the jazz world, Laila's signature sound transcends genre – “masterfully mixes jazz and pop, bringing virtuosity and unpredictability to songs that are concise and catchy” (Washington Post). Her highly anticipated seasonal album, Wintersongs, was nominated for a 2025 JUNO Award and a 2026 GRAMMY alongside heavyweights Lady Gaga, Barbra Streisand, Elton John & Brandi Carlile, Jennifer Hudson and Laufey.
Sedaka, who died last week at 86, wrote and recorded hits in the late ‘50s and early ‘60s – songs like “Calendar Girl” and “Breaking up is Hard to Do.” He was nine years old when he began studying piano at Juilliard. Sedaka told Terry Gross in 2007, “To the shock of my family, after studying at Juilliard I sold 40 million records in five years.” The British invasion derailed his career until years later when Elton John helped revive it, by signing Sedaka to his label. Rock critic Ken Tucker reviews the new album by The Paranoid Style, led by composer-singer Elizabeth Nelson. And Justin Chang reviews the new Pixar film, ‘Hoppers.'To manage podcast ad preferences, review the links below:See pcm.adswizz.com for information about our collection and use of personal data for sponsorship and to manage your podcast sponsorship preferences.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

British pedal steel guitar legend BJ Cole joins me on the show today. BJ is a masterful steel player - very inventive and textural but with incredible chops and skills as well. He's amassed an incredible body of solo work over the years, but has also been the top call steel session player in the UK for decades. He had a very solitary musical start, but got into country bands in England and eventually started gigging and playing sessions. Things changed for BJ when he got called to play steel on Elton John's “Tiny Dancer” in 1971. He laid down some very tasty and memorable steel parts on that hit, and the phone started ringing big time. BJ has played on records and toured with an incredible array of artists like Joan Armatrading, Marc Bolan, KD Lang, Beck, Bjork, Sting, John Cale, Brian Eno and many more.He's also always written and recorded his own music and collaborations, which have been all over the place musically and are a great way to delve into his musical brain. There's a new collab with cellist Emily Burridge - cello and steel duets that's really cool, and his solo albums like Transparent Music, The New Hovering Dog, Trouble in Paradise - all great albums well worth checking out. We get into all it, plus some seriously nerdy pedal steel talk.You can keep up to date on BJ's latest projects and tours at bjcole.co.ukEnjoy my conversation with BJ Cole!This season is brought to you by our main sponsors Larivée Guitars, Audeze, Izotope, FabFilter, and Chase Bliss.

We lost one of the greats with the passing of Neil Sedaka. The songs, like “Calendar Girl”, “Love Will Keep Us Together”, “Oh! Carol” and “Breaking Up is Hard to Do” are so recognizable and the melodies so deceptively simple, it’s like they’ve always been with us. And if you’ve ever heard Sedaka being interviewed, you can’t miss the joy and passion that he had for the work. For this special tribute, we have 3 sets of interview clips from one of the top songwriters of his era. Neil remembers his earliest hits with the late Andy K of 1050 CHUM in Toronto. He also tells CHUM's Roger Ashby about the challenges he faced in his career. And we even hear from Elton John, who helped facilitate Sedaka's comeback with songs like "Bad Blood" and "Laughter In The Rain". Neil Sedaka continued to perform as recently as 2025. His legacy of songs as a writer and performer will always be with us.

On the Rhythm Section podcast, Derrick and Jeff chat with Memphis guitarist and longtime instructor Rick Forbes about his background as an army brat who settled in Memphis in 1976, switching from saxophone to guitar after classic rock concerts, and joining bands soon after arriving. Forbes discusses how radio, FM album cuts, and modern streaming changed music discovery, and how he teaches students not to rely solely on YouTube. He outlines his current projects with Amber McCain and the cover band Spectrum, as well as past work with Jared Price's “Almost Elton.” He describes the challenges of faithfully performing pop and Elton John material live. He also recounts years in the instrumental jazz group Pacific Flight, odd gigs, and transcription work for Willie Mitchell's catalog, and highlights common Memphis venues and scheduling challenges.

FROM THE VAULT: In this clip, we look back at when Rod Stewart joined the lads to discuss his lifelong love of football, growing up in a football-obsessed household, and the hilarious rivalry he shared with fellow music icon Elton John.Rod opens up about their competitive friendship in the 70s, outrageous Christmas presents, wild nights before heading off to watch Watford F.C., and the legendary moment Elton had his “Blondes Have More Fun” balloons shot down. He also reflects on scoring a hat-trick at Stamford Bridge during Soccer Six — much to the delight of his mate George Best.If you like this clip, you can catch the full episode here:https://youtu.be/J4sWFQq1AQcChumbawambaFor more Peter Crouch:Twitter - https://twitter.com/petercrouchTherapy Crouch - https://www.youtube.com/@thetherapycrouchFor more Chris StarkTwitter - https://twitter.com/Chris_StarkInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/chrisstark/For more Steve SidwellTwitter - https://twitter.com/sjsidwellInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/stevesidwell14#PeterCrouch #ThatPeterCrouchPodcast Hosted on Acast.

We sit down with May Pang to unpack John Lennon's misnamed “Lost Weekend” and reveal a season of creative fire, repaired friendships, and family reconnection. May shares what really happened across those 18 months: the studio grind behind Mind Games, Walls and Bridges, and Rock 'n' Roll; and the bet that led to a thunderous Thanksgiving return with Elton John.We walk through May's unexpected path from Abkco assistant to John and Yoko's personal assistant to John's trusted partner. She opens the door to an East River apartment where Paul and Linda knock unannounced and Julian finds a steady line to his dad. May explains how weekly calls, shared holidays, and respectful honesty gave John room to repair family ties long strained by distance and noise.There's myth‑busting, too: where the money came from, who actually held the checkbook, how the LA antics got amplified, and why the “Lost Weekend” nickname came from John's own movie‑minded metaphor rather than a spiral. We even pause on a close, silent UFO over Manhattan—witnessed by both May and John—because history is sometimes stranger than rumor.If you care about Beatles history, rock history, or simply how creativity survives under pressure, this conversation reframes a legend with first‑hand detail and generous nuance. Hit play, then share this with a friend who still thinks “Lost Weekend” means lost time. And if the story moved you, follow the show, leave a quick review, and tell us: what part of Lennon's 70s era do you see differently now?Learn Something New orRemember Something OldPlease like and follow the Music in My Shoes Facebook and Instagram pagesReach out to us at musicinmyshoes@gmail.comEXHIBITION DATESFriday, February 27 – Sunday, March 1Macon, GA“The Lost Weekend – The Photography of May Pang” featuring May Pang appearanceGallery West, 447 3rd Street, Macon, GAHours: Friday 12p – 7p (opening reception 5p – 7p), Saturday 11a – 5p & Sunday, 12p – 4pFriday, March 13 – Sunday, March 15Jacksonville, FLGallery 725, 13475 Atlantic Blvd, Jacksonville, FL“The Lost Weekend – The Photography of May Pang” featuring May Pang appearanceHours: Friday 5p – 8p, Saturday 1p – 6p and Sunday 12p – 4pFriday, March 20 – Sunday, March 22, 2026Winter Garden, FL (Orlando, FL)The Grotto at Stoneybrook West, 12572 Stoneybrook West Pkwy, Winter Garden, FL“The Lost Weekend – The Photography of May Pang” featuring May Pang appearanceHours: Friday 4p – 7p, Saturday 12p – 6p & Sunday, 12p – 4pSaturday, March 28 – Saturday, April 4“Flower Power Cruise featuring the Beach Boys, Rascals, Micky Dolenz, Tommy James, Cowsills & more!Fort Lauderdale, FLFriday, April 17 – Sunday, April 19, 2026Roanoke, VAWilson Hughes Gallery, 117 Campbell Ave SW, Roanoke, VA“The Lost Weekend – The Photography of May Pang” featuring May Pang appearanceHours: Friday 4p – 7p, Saturday 12p – 6p & Sunday, 12p – 4pTuesday, April 21 & Wednesday, April 22Richmond, VAanne's Visual Art Studio gallery, 208 W.

Tune in to "The Other Side of Midnight" with Lionel for a wild, freewheeling ride through late-night news and delightfully eccentric caller theories. In this "Ventilation Friday" episode, Lionel tackles everything from Hillary Clinton's testimony regarding Jeffrey Epstein's hidden VHS stash and trigger-happy AI models recommending nuclear war, to the historical morality of false-flag terrorism, Operation Paperclip, and the OSS. Brace yourself for mind-bending caller segments featuring conspiracy theories about Elton John's tennis skills, timing preemptive military strikes on Iran using astrology and the Spring Equinox, the year 6000 end-times prophecy, and a brilliant pitch to replace nuclear annihilation with giant, international fistfights.

Tras veinte años intentando tirar esto adelante, Elton John se dio el gustazo de poner a un guaperas haciendo de el en un épico biopic lleno de fantasía, colorines y caída a los infiernos de la fama. Y curiosamente, la cosa salió bastante bien, y os lo dice alguien que no es ni fan de esa señora vieja de las gafas.
Cthulhu Honeytrap, unwritten bathroom rules, and Clark sounds just like Elton John.
Episode 10 opens in the long-running genre they've accidentally perfected — two grown men versus consumer electronics — as Michael explains how he revived his ageing Samsung “smart TV” (now “a bit of a nuff-nuff”) with a cheap HDMI streaming box bought from an Australian online retailer that “rhymes with Hogan”. The thrill here isn't just 4K; it's the moral victory of upgrading the brain while keeping the body. The upgraded TV then becomes a portal to two YouTube documentaries that send the pair (and us) into a warmly nostalgic British lane. One is an ARTE doc on Madness — “Princes of Ska” — which prompts Michael to re-fall in love with a band he rates as not just a ska novelty act, but an elite singles machine whose later pop craftsmanship deserves more credit than the pigeonhole allows. The other find is the real rabbit hole: John Peel's Record Box — an hour built around the late BBC DJ's stash of 142 singles kept separate from his famously vast collection (more than 100,000 records). The documentary hauls the box around to fellow travellers and famous fans — Jack White, Elton John, others — letting them rummage, remember and speculate on why those particular records were kept close. Peel, it turns out, could contain multitudes: Sheena Easton's “9 to 5”, some Status Quo, a heavy White Stripes presence… and a special extra shrine for The Fall, who were apparently too important even for the box. Then Brian takes the wheel for the episode's marquee music moment: Bob Dylan's Blonde on Blonde turns 60, marked with a concert at Tulsa's legendary Cain's Ballroom, presented by the Bob Dylan Center (sitting right next to the Woody Guthrie Center, because Tulsa is quietly running a curriculum). Brian's spoken with the Center's director, Steve Jenkins, who teases an event titled Sooner or Later with a lineup that reads like an alternate-universe festival poster: Naturally, they can't leave the album itself alone. They circle around what makes Blonde on Blonde such a gravitational object: the New York-to-Nashville recording shift, Al Kooper and Robbie Robertson in tow, and the snap-in brilliance of Nashville players like Charlie McCoy and Joe South. Michael calls it the culmination of Dylan's ridiculous 18-month streak from Bringing It All Back Home through Highway 61 Revisited to Blonde on Blonde — productivity that makes modern “content schedules” look like a wellness day. Song picks follow: Michael is unwavering on “Visions of Johanna”; Brian leans toward “Most Likely You Go Your Way (And I'll Go Mine)”, while also marvelling that Dylan had “Positively 4th Street” sitting on the bench, unused, like a spare masterpiece. There are lighter detours too: a surprisingly vivid discussion of a film built around stand-up comedy as therapy (Will Arnett, Laura Dern, John Bishop's life story, Bradley Cooper popping up in a minor role because he can), and then Brian's recommendation of Mackenzie Crook's Small Prophets — a title that briefly defeats Michael because he searches the wrong spelling and finds financial advice instead. Once located, it lands hard: whimsy, sadness, small acts, and a specific episode-four moment that gets Brian teary without him wanting to spoil why. Michael flags the return of Gillian Welch & David Rawlings, apparently digging deep into the back catalogue (with a Guardian five-star review from Toowoomba), plus the pair's Grateful Dead-adjacent moves and upcoming US tribute tour. They also talk up Robert Finley, the 71-year-old, legally blind Louisiana singer with the late-blooming career arc (carpenter most of his life, first records in his 60s, produced by Dan Auerbach of The Black Keys), heading to Australia in May for intimate shows. Finley's story lands like a parable for anyone who's ever thought they missed their chance. (Michael, who's finishing his own record — under the gloriously self-aware pseudonym Imposter Syndrome, album titled Oversharing with Strangers — certainly hears it that way.) Episode 10, then, is classic On The Record: a podcast held together by cable management, cultural memory, and the belief that the best stories are found when you stop pretending you have a plan.

There are countless musicians mentioned in the “Epstein Files”; a dozen or so are bold-faced names. A whole lot more are not. Some of the mentions are innocuous, a few of the mentions are highly suspicious, and all of them require context, something painfully missing from the social discourse at the moment. Have no fear, though, we're giving it to you straight, from Jack White to Mick Jagger, and Jimmy Buffett, Elton John, and more—we make sense of the rockstars named in the Epstein Files. Plus, as always, your voicemails, texts, and correspondence.

Klar, ab und zu kommen hier und da mal neue Leute dazu, und wie bei einem Geschäft mit weit geöffneter Eingangstür verirrt sich sicher auch mal jemand in den rhetorischen Krimskrams-Laden Baywatch Berlin, der eigentlich ganz woanders hinwollte und deswegen auch recht schnell mit gerümpfter Nase wieder geht. Kann alles sein. Im Prinzip kommen aber immer die gleichen Leute, und ihre Interessen altern einfach mit den drei Podcastern. Deswegen ist mittlerweile auch ein fester Bestandteil der Themenliste: Was muss man wann im Leben alles entschieden und geregelt haben? Die meisten Dinge wurden schon besprochen. Wann Darmspiegelung? Wie genau Patientenverfügung? Ab wann nicht mehr anziehen wie Ski-Aggu? Welche Hobbys gehen noch? Wo ab jetzt besaufen, wenn nicht mehr im Club? Und wie hält man sich den Rest der Welt vom Leib? Alles nachzuhören in bereits erschienenen Episoden von Baywatch Berlin. Die Beantwortung dieser Fragenliste geht in der aktuellen Folge nun weiter und darf gerne als Anregung fürs eigene Leben verstanden werden. Die Fragen sind: Wie stellt man sicher, dass bei der eigenen Beerdigung ein sexy Bild von einem auf dem Sargdeckel steht? Und was muss man jetzt schon verfügen, damit einen später, wenn das eigene Leben mal verfilmt wird, nicht ein wesentlich hübscherer Schauspieler spielt und die ganze Welt enttäuscht ist, wenn ein echtes Porträt von einem im Abspann zu sehen ist? Weitere offene Baywatch-Punkte: Wie ging es weiter in Schmitts Cringe-Holidays? Warum kann man aus Jakobs Knien schon bald eine geile Brosche machen? Und warum wartet Klaas bis heute auf die Gammelzahnfee – und was erhofft er sich von so einer eigentlich? Sie merken schon: Nicht nur Xavier Naidoo kümmert sich um die elementaren Fragen des Lebens. Ordentlich Scheisse labern können wir auch ganz alleine.
Dave Stewart is a true music icon. Born in Sunderland in 1952 his first love affair was with football – dreaming of a career playing for the Black Cats, but a knee injury and his parents' divorce changed his entire outlook. Music filled a hole - despite a music teacher who described his dreams as ‘idiotic' it became his passion, inspired by his Dad's high-tech (for the 70s!) stereo system, a Robert Johnson blues album and some eye-opening teenage experimentation with acid.He signed to Elton John's record label shortly after leaving school and after several false starts he met Annie Lennox in 1976 and formed a band together called The Tourists – a pre-curser to the significantly more successful 80s project The Eurythmics .In the 45 years since then Dave has done it all – as an artist he's a Grammy winner, as a producer he's won multiple Brit Awards, as a song-writer he's won the prestigious Silver Clef award, he's won a Golden Glove for composing a song with Mick Jagger for Alfie and in 2024 he teamed up with Joss Stone to write a musical version of The Time Traveller's Wife. It's hard to put his contribution to music into context because his impact on popular music is so vast.Let me list just SOME of the artists he's produced, written for or recorded with:Paul McCartney, Bono, Aretha Franklin, Alison Moyet, Bryan Ferry, Sinead O'Connor, No Doubt, Jon Bon Jovi, Bob Geldoff, Bryan Ferry, & Stevie Nicks. In fact in 2011 he briefly formed a supergroup comprised of himself, Mick Jagger, Joss Stone, Damian Marley and A.R. Rahman.He's one of the great innovators – in 1998 his album SlyFi became the first album to be released on the internet – it predates Google, and MySpace and Facebook wouldn't be launched for another SEVEN years.Now in his early 70s he continues to inspire – until Covid he owned and ran a creative members club in London, and through his production company Dave Stewart Entertainment he continues to push musical boundaries and work with some of the world's biggest names in music.Enjoy our chat with an icon. Cheers! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

M6 “Now I Know”, Upon The Wings of Music, (Jean-Luc Ponty), Atlantic Recording/Warner Communications, (4:25) WELCOME TO THIS EPISODE OF VINYL VIBRATIONS – musical exploration into sounds and grooves from artists whose works are produced onto vinyl records. The Vinyl Record has stood the test of time- – Vinyl is durable and delivers stunning sound. With Vinyl Records, we capture a rich period in music history including pop, rock, jazz, and classical genres. In each show I explore a topic in the artist's music that makes their work unique and timeless. From these podcasts, the actual vinyl LPs played in this show go back to the 1950s – I am enjoying these discs some 70+ years after their production date. Tangible music, always available great quality. … I’m your host, Brian Frederick. WELCOME to this episode of Vinyl … Vibrations. ABOUT TODAY'S PROGRAM ABOUT THE ARTIST Today our featured artist is Jean-Luc Ponty – He is a French JAZZ-ROCK and JAZZ FUSION violinist and composer, born in 1942. Ponty graduated from Conservatoire National Supérieur de Musique de Paris with the PREMIER PRIX the first prize, a great accomplishment. Then he was hired by Orchestra Lamoureux. He also had a side job playing in a college jazz band and he evolved and developed a jazz interest. In his 20's, Ponty went on to play at jazz clubs in Paris as the “JAZZ FIDDLE” role. Ponty was at the right time and the right place. In 1965, the VIOLIN did not have a place in the jazz world or in the jazz sound. Ponty has a unique sound, and he has made a huge impact in JAZZ-ROCK and in JAZZ FUSION. (pause) One characteristic of Ponty's style is his spared use of vibrato. His style favors powerful long notes, with just a trace of vibrato.. Another characteristic is that he plays the electric violin, and thirdly, he uses effects processing. He is truly a modern and pioneering violinist with his jazz and fusion roots starting in the 1960s. In the1970's he collaborated as sideman with FRANK ZAPPA- and with CHICK COREA- and with the MAHAVISHNU ORCHESTRA- resulting in 18 sideman records between those three groups. Before that PONTY had many recording accomplishments – with 8 recordings as LEADER going back to 1964 when he released his premier record [JAZZ LONG PLAYING] In 1967 he played at the MONTEREY JAZZ FESTIVAL, and this landed him a recording contract with the WORLD PACIFIC label. In 1970, he was working with Frank Zappa on the KING KONG album, and working with Elton John on the HONKY CHATEAU album. I was lucky and thrilled to see PONTY live in 1972 at the BROWN SHOE, a bar in the Chicago Old Town neighborhood. He played an electric violin, and had floor pedals with basic effects, and played a mind-boggling 45-minute set of ROCK FUSION music. That was during his MAHAVISHNU-ZAPPA-COREA days. I had my proof, he was the real thing. And now, let's go into the music of Jean Luc Ponty. In today's podcast I review three records of Jean Luc Ponty AS LEADER, his early years, 1970 to 1975.

This week on Proper True Yarn, Knuckles sits down with Rob Comiskey from Comiskey Group to pull back the curtain on what it really takes to bring massive live shows to life.Rob breaks down the promoter game: why sometimes you don't “promote” a show - you buy it, how deals can be decided in minutes, and why it's all risk vs reward (and honestly… sometimes it's just a punt). From turning down Elton John early at Sandstone Point, to bringing out The Beach Boys, to the brutal moment COVID flipped a sold-out Violent Femmes show into a six-figure loss overnight - Rob shares the wins, the misses, and the stuff punters never see.They yarn about genre-by-genre bar spend, lightning evacuations, why insurance has become a nightmare, and the reality that one headline or a curveball can change everything. If you've ever wondered how the big dogs do it — this one's a proper behind-the-scenes belter.#propertrueyarn Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

(25:01-42:54) – The IndyStar’s Dustin Dopirak makes his second appearance on the show this week to weigh in on why the Pacers felt like they needed to gamble a little bit to land Ivica Zubac, believes that Jarace Walker can be a key offensive scorer for the second unit if the 2026 pick falls between 5-9, evaluates whether Zubac can adapt to the fast paced tempo the Pacers want to play with, and admits there is a gray area that the Pacers could be in by tanking and resting Pascal Siakam, Obi Toppin, and the other highly competitive players that are on the team.

(00:00-8:20) Everybody was sleeping with everybody, kinda like this show. Audio of Josh Schertz's pre-game speech to the boys before the game against the Bonnies. Great gamblers parlay and tease and then talk about it on social media. Auctioning us off like cattle. Why does Jackson look like Eminem in prison?(8:28-22:14) Does this make you think of Almost Famous or Elton John? Mt. Rushmore of Cameron Crowe films. E-Mail of the Day(22:24-36:32) Feels like this could be the Cardinals' year. TV on a tripod. Three games at one is too many. Need to get that Rammer on the show. The Top 100 MLB Prospects. How many Cardinals on there? Doug's anti-Irish is showing. Great catching is the secret. Just bad memory on Jackson's part. Bader to the Giants. The guy that climbed the skyscraper on Netflix.

It's 2009 in Fairview, North Carolina. Two teenage cousins are hanging out in a treehouse ten feet off the ground, stereo playing Elton John's "Benny and the Jets" into the cool fall night. Then, right around the third "Benny," time seems to stop. A massive finger, easily twelve inches long and covered in matted gray-brown fur with a thick black talon, slides through the cracks in the floorboards. Not frantically. Methodically. Back and forth. Whatever was attached to that finger was standing on the ground below, which means this thing had to be enormous. The boys froze, paralyzed by a fear Blake describes as primordial. Something deep in his DNA telling him there was no escape, no fight, just freeze and hope.But that's just the beginning. Blake's story opens up into a lifetime of strange encounters across the Carolina mountains: precognitive dreams that run in his Cherokee family line, a UFO sighting that vanished the moment it knew it was being watched, and a bizarre vision of a Native American chief named Timbo that he never went looking for. We dig into what makes North Carolina such a thin place, the connection between curiosity and intelligence in these creatures, and why Blake believes these encounters, terrifying as they are, have only deepened his walk with Christ. This one's got Bigfoot, orbs, little people lore, and a whole lot of Appalachian strangeness. Want to listen to this episode and an entire back catalog of exclusive members-only content?
