Podcasts about Fire escape

"Sonic Ranch" Licking his wounds from the breakup of his band Big Car, the Texas-born singer/songwriter Miles Zuniga found himself out west--and when I say out west I mean about ten minutes from where we record this podcast. Miles got a job working at Chez Panisse and hanging out on Telegraph Avenue at Cody's Books and Amoeba Music. The Big Car experience hadn't been great, so Miles was plotting out his next moves while he worked in Alice Waters' restaurant and I'll let him tell you how that all played out, so let's just fast forward to when he moved back to Texas and joined forces with bassist/singer Tony Scalzo and drummer Joe Shuffield to form Fastball. The trio's debut Make Your Mama Proud evinced their penchant for punchy pop genius but it was their sophomore record All The Pain That Money Can Buy that put them on the map. The album's first single "The Way" was pretty much a pop sensation, hitting the number one slot of charts for seven weeks. The next two singles "Out Of My Head" and "Fire Escape" helped fuel the album's Platinum status and Zuniga, a long way now from his Chez Panisse days, found his band with two Grammy nominations. Over the course of their career, Fastball have collaborated with Billy Preston, Steve Berlin, Adam Schlesinger and Charlie Sexton. From Keep Your Wig On to The Help Machine to their latest album Sonic Ranch, their discography is an endless supply of pop riches. Miles is a great guy and this is a very cool chat so let's meet himm www.fastballtheband.com (http://www.fastballtheband.com) www.bombshellradio.com (http://www.bombshellradio.com) www.stereoembersmagazine.com (http://www.stereoembersmagazine.com) www.alexgreenbooks.com (http://www.alexgreenbooks.com) Stereo Embers The Podcast BLUESKY + IG: @emberspodcast EMAIL: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

We can read in Genesis that God saw the evil in the world and destroyed the earth with a flood, leaving only eight people and the animals to rebuild. The New Testament promises that the heavens and the earth will be completely destroyed by fire when Jesus comes again, and we must respond to His free offer of salvation for our only chance to be saved.

We had the pleasure of interviewing Fastball over Zoom video!Formed in 1994 in Austin, Texas, Fastball combined a fondness for melodic, Beatles-inspired pop with the alternative aesthetic of late-'90s mainstream rock. Guitarist/vocalist Miles Zuniga, bassist/vocalist Tony Scalzo, and drummer Joey Shuffield — all veterans of Austin's underground rock scene — originally banded together under the name Magneto U.S.A. After signing with Hollywood Records, the musicians changed their name to Fastball and released their debut album, Make Your Mama Proud, in 1996. The album demonstrated the band's synthesis of modern flavor and bygone pop hooks, a combination that would later launch Fastball into the mainstream.The follow-up effort, All the Pain Money Can Buy, appeared in early 1998, featuring a considerably tighter band and more pop flourishes. Although the bandmates were still working side jobs at the time of its release, lead-off single "The Way" proved to be a meteoric hit, topping the American rock charts for seven weeks while enjoying crossover success as a pop single. "Fire Escape" and the piano-fueled "Out of My Head" did similarly well, and All the Pain Money Can Buy went platinum within six months of its release, earning two Grammy nominations along the way. Fastball celebrated their success with a considerable amount of touring, including shows alongside Marcy Playground and Everclear.The Harsh Light of Day arrived in fall 2000, featuring piano work by Billy Preston and an increasingly arty sound, including the Top 40 hit "You're an Ocean.” Fastball eventually left the Hollywood roster in favor of a new deal with Rykodisc. A retrospective compilation, Painting the Corners: The Best of Fastball, marked the band's final release for Hollywood Records in 2002. Two years later, they resurfaced with Keep Your Wig On, having fully embraced their power pop roots with the help of co-producer Adam Schlesinger. The album strengthened Fastball's work ethic, with frontmen Zuniga and Scalzo writing together for the first time. That collaborative spirit helped fuel another album, Little White Lies, which appeared in 2009 to warm reviews.After several years of focusing on live work, Fastball returned to the studio in 2015, recording in their hometown of Austin. The project emerged in May 2017, a self-released album titled Step into Light, and the band supported it with an extensive tour of the United States and Canada. The following year, Fastball celebrated the 20th anniversary of All the Pain Money Can Buy with an expanded edition of the 1998 album; they accompanied the reissue with a hometown concert in Austin, Texas.In October 2019, Fastball returned with The Help Machine, an album produced by Steve Berlin of Los Lobos, and in Sept 2021 and on June 17, 2022 they released The Deep End.Fastball just released a brand new album called Sonic Ranch.We want to hear from you!

Today, we check in on the race to Oakland's city hall. Then, we hear from the host of the new series “Fire Escape” about the challenges faced by incarcerated firefighters.

California relies on incarcerated firefighters to fight fires like the ones that have engulfed Southern California this month. But once these men and women are released from prison, they can have a hard time finding jobs on civilian firefighting crews. Back in 2020, Nigel and Earlonne spent time at a Ventura fire camp designed to help bridge that gap. In light of the recent fires, we're sharing this episode again. Thanks to Bay Salmeron, Andrew Morales, Levi Rosier, Barrett Brown, and Eric Kesselmark for sharing their stories. Thanks also to Michelle Garcia, Jeremy Brandt, and Michael Salas at the Ventura Training Center.You can donate to Anti-Recidivism Coalition's fund for incarcerated firefighters here, and listen to the Fire Escape podcast here.  This episode was scored with music by Antwan Williams and David Jassy. Big thanks to Acting Warden Andes and Lt.

Amika Mota felt like she lost everything the day she was sentenced to prison for nearly a decade. But as her world burned down, she learned how to fight fire from inside Central California Women's Facility (CCWF), one of the largest women's prisons in the world. Mota and her team of incarcerated firefighters responded to calls from inside the prison and out in the community, including the homes of their correctional officers. Anna Sussman tells Mota's story in "Fire Escape" a new podcast series from Snap Studios at KQED and Wondery.  The California Report Magazine's Sasha Khokha spoke with Sussman about Mota's story, the experiences of incarcerated firefighters in California, and what she hopes people will learn from the series.  Learn more about your ad choices.

As the gang gets ready for their game of the year episode, Mary finally puts time into Zelda, Dan praises Call of Duty: Black Ops 6, and Mike starts his very long adventure in Metaphor: ReFantazio.

"Welcome to another episode of 420 Reasons Why I Quit Drinking Alcohol. Today, I'm going to tell you about the night I woke up on the fire escape—horrified, cold, and locked out of my own apartment, not safe. It was one of those moments that made me question everything about my relationship with alcohol." "It was the middle of the night, and I wasn't in my bed. I wasn't even in my apartment. Instead, I woke up on a rusty fire escape outside, still drunk, disoriented, and terrified. I had no idea how I got there. All I knew was that I wasn't safe, I couldn't get back inside, and this wasn't the first time alcohol had put me in danger. But it was a moment that changed things for me." "So I want to ask you something: When you look at your relationship with alcohol, how does it affect your life? Have you ever paused to really think about it?" "I know I did. I tried to list the positive things alcohol contributed to my life, but I couldn't find five things. Could you?" "Here's the truth: I never could. For me, alcohol took more than it ever gave. It stole my safety, my peace of mind, and my sense of control. So, if you're struggling with alcohol, I challenge you to make your own list. Does it really bring value to your life? If so, what are those five positive things?" "Sometimes we try to rationalize our drinking by telling ourselves it helps us relax, have fun, or fit in. But for me, the negatives always outweighed the positives. If you've ever felt the same way—whether you've woken up somewhere you shouldn't be, or just regretted a night of drinking—know that you're not alone."

On this week's episode, Dan share's his experience with Nintendo's alarm clock, Mary waxes poetic about Neva, and Mike does poor-to-mediocre impressions.

The gang is back together again! This week they chat about potato guns, Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom, and Grapple Dogs: Cosmic Canines.

I greet you in Jesus' precious name! It is Friday morning, the 4th of October, 2024, and this is your friend, Angus Buchan, with a thought for today. Colossians 1:27:” …Christ in you, the hope of glory.”Our Lord is not a fire escape, something built on the outside of the building, just in case a fire begins in the building. No - It is Christ inside us. That is our security! Now Phillips Brooks put it so beautifully. I want to read it to you: ”Religion is not the simple fire escape that you build upon the outside of your dwelling in anticipation of a possible danger and leave there until danger comes. No, no, no, no! You go to it some morning when a fire breaks out in your house and the poor old fire escape that you built up there and thought that you could use someday, is so rusty and broken, and the weather had so beaten upon it, and the sun so turned it's hinges, that it will not work. That is the condition of a man who has built himself what seems a creed of faith, a trust in God in anticipation of the day when the danger is to overtake him and he has said to himself, ”I am safe for I will take refuge in it then.” But religion is the house in which we live; it is the table at which we sit; it is the fireside at which we draw near; the room that arches it's graceful and familiar presence over us; it is the bed on which we lie and think of the past, anticipate the future, and gather our refreshment.” The fire escape is actually on the inside, it's not on the outside.Jesus bless you and have a wonderful day, Goodbye.

Mary is away and the Giant Bombers are here to save the day: Jeff Grubb and Mike Minotti of Game Mess join Dan and Mike to talk about Astro Bot, Wild Bastards, and sneeze farting.
