Alicia Stockman was in Kansas City to play an intimate house concert for the Labyrinth Listening Room Series curated and hosted by fellow music lover Howard Dolginoff.  I happened to be hosting Siren Song on 90.1 FM KKFI that same day and Howard brought Alicia to the studios so we could have a chat and share some tunes with our listeners who were not able to make it to the show. Alicia is a Utah-based folk meets Americana Singer Songwriter whose songs are written like intimate moments that draw listeners into a relatable emotional journey.  You'll hear that her musical start was in a loud rock and roll band playing cover songs in bars with sticky floors; she eventually broke away to perform her own songs, finding a home in the Americana scene.   Her work sparked the interest of “Nashville's Americana Queen, and former Tasty Brew Music Podcast guest, Mary Bragg, who began collaborating with and producing Alicia's album, “Four Walls.”  Enjoy this on air conversation with and musical performance by Alicia Stockman.

I was introduced to Oklahoma City based songwriter Carter Sampson some years ago after she played a gig at Kansas City's Knucklehead Saloon. I was very impressed by her command of the stage and storytelling. We briefly crossed paths multiple times in Nashville during Americanafest, in Oklahoma during Woodyfest and in Kansas City for occasional gigs at the Westport Saloon and again at Knuckleheads. She had been booked to play several Kansas City gigs in early 2020 that got cancelled either because of bad weather or the Covid-19 pandemic. I tried multiple times to schedule conversations with her since 2018 for this podcast and we just couldn't make it happen. The stars aligned and we were finally able to get Carter back to Kansas City for an intimate show at Mike Kelly's Westsider as part of the Bloody Mary Morning Listening Room Series presented by the Heartland Song Network. This episode is a portion of the conversation we had on air via my Tasty Brew Music Radio Show on 90.1 FM KKFI just before she hit the road for Kansas City. Carter has released five studio albums and is working on her latest record with Oklahoma producer Kyle Reid. Her 2016 release Wilder Side received international attention and was No. 3 on that year's Euro Americana year end chart. She is the founder and director of The Rock n' Roll Camp for Girls OKC, a nonprofit volunteer run organization that empowers girls through music education. She is a proud member of the Citizen Potawatomie Nation. I love everything about Carter Sampson. Her clear and present voice, wordcrafting, guitar skills, artistic visual aesthetic, and work ethic. She is as equally adept at fronting a full band on the main stage of a music festival as she is keeping a small room of dedicated listeners completely captivated for hours. She was meant to lead a lyrical and musical life and that is what she has done, is doing and will do moving forward. Enjoy my long awaited one on one with Carter Sampson….to be continued somewhere down the road… most likely in Oklahoma.

I met Samantha Fish when she was about 19 years old…just starting to play in public at local Kansas City venues and jams. We have stayed in touch and connected over the years and it has been alternately terrifying and gratifying to see her trajectory into the international music stratosphere. Not content to be labelled solely as a “blues” or “rock” artist, she is constantly evolving and experimenting with multiple genres… collaborating with some of the best the music industry has to offer. The Heartland music community is very proud to claim her as one of our own and she is poised for a long and storied career. She remains very humble and willing to help her local community radio station, 90.1 FM KKFI, as she did in this interview during a recent pledge drive. Locked and loaded and back out on the road, Samantha Fish is following her American Dream in support of her newest release "Faster" on Rounder Records.

Sheltering in place during the COVID -19 pandemic of 2020 made it necessary to utilize other resources to bring you content for this podcast. The following is the audio from a magical night in the studios of 90.1 FM KKFI when I brought together two completely different artists who just happen to share the name Kelley/Kelly Hunt. Before this evening on March 1, 2018, these women had never meant. I've known "Piano" Kelley Hunt for over 20 years. When I first met "Banjo" Kelly Hunt a few years ago, I just KNEW I had to get them together...whether they performed at the same time or not. After this radio appearance, they have in fact become friends in music and in life…another unexpected by-product of that evening… Al Berman, "Piano" Kelly’s husband and manager, is currently acting as "Banjo"Kelly’s manager as well. And that recording project "Banjo" Kelly was talking about....it became "Even the Sparrow" nominated for Folk Alliance International's 2019 Album of the Year! I thought it could be a special evening of music and conversation. I was right. Please enjoy this special edition of the Tasty Brew Music Podcast.

Episode 2 of the Tasty Brew Music Podcast is a conversation with American music icon, John Oates (Hall & Oates), recorded in Kansas City in February 2018 during the Folk Alliance International Conference. John was at the Conference to promote his latest musical release “Arkansas” and his written memoir “Change of Seasons.” There was a bit of background drama before the conversation started as there was a mix up with John’s staff as to what time the interview was to start. Long story short, when I arrived in the suite, John was already there talking to the sound engineer who astutely kept him in the room, conducting an interview well enough John thought it had already begun. He was a bit taken aback when I walked into the room and the sound engineer announced…oh here’s Diana Linn…she will be interviewing you. John took it all in stride, as you will hear; we had a lovely conversation about his full circle journey with Roots Music….feeling compelled in his later years to curate content from the 1920’s and 30’s American music catalogue and sharing some details on his recent infiltration of the Nashville music scene…all the while being warmly embraced by the Americana/ Roots Music Community. You will also hear a thoughtful duo of questions posed by my sister DJ at 90.1 FM KKFI, Kasey Rausch. Enjoy Episode 2 of the Tasty Brew Podcast with my very special guest John Oates! #johnoates #americanamusic #tastybrewmusic #folkalliance

In April, three members of Friends of Community Media (FCM), a Kansas City 501c3 media reform group,  went to Boston, MA to attend the 2011 National Conference on Media Reform.

Local activists working for single-payer healthcare are the main focus of this week's show, but we start with a little coverage of WMD in Kansas City.  Most people don't know that a plant in Kansas City produces about 85% of the components for the United States' nuclear weapons arsenal.  The General Services Administration and the National Nuclear Security Administration have teamed up with private developers,  compliant Kansas City politicians, the KC Planned Industrial Expansion Authority (PIEA)- a state chartered quasi-city agency - and the Lathrop & Gage law firm  to come up with a $600 million + Kansas City tax-abated, PIEA-owned new WMD components plant built in a soybean field they contrived to have designated as "blighted." We have some short excerpts from the latest PIEA hearing, where boosters speak and power-point at length, and critics, including a former employee charging poor work place hazard handling are removed by security. After that, we listen to Dee Berry and Mary Lindsay, local activists with Heartland Healthcare for All talking about why Single Payer Healthcare is the only healthcare 'reform' worthy of the term, and what they are doing to get the word out.

 The FCC is seeking public input as they formulate a national broadband strategy. They are seeking public comments until July 8th – The media reform advocacy group Free Press recently released a paper: Dismantling Digital Deregulation: Toward a National Broadband Strategy . The paper argues that America’s broadband failure is rooted in poor policy decisions made by the FCC. Free Press believes the FCC must learn from their past mistakes in order to create a national broadband strategy that finally delivers fast, open and affordable Internet to everyone.   We'll hear from Free Press' Campaign Director Timothy Karr. http://freepress.net/files/changing_media.pdf http://www.freepress.net/summit Dismantling Digital Deregulation: Toward a National Broadband Strategy  On June 10th we read in the Kansas City Star that former U.S. Representative Karen McCarthy is suffering from Alzheimer's Disease and is now living in a area nursing home.  We'll repeat part of an interview McCarthy gave to Tell Somebody last summer where she explains how she arrived at her decision to vote "no" to the bill giving Bush the green flag to invade Iraq.
