“Song is just a piece of art, and it's kind of like a landscape painting is a piece of art. It is reflective of the landscape, but in no way can it take in the full majesty of the landscape. It's just a picture of it, and it should inspire us to want to examine the real thing.” – Michelle Nezat Today's featured fellow bookcaster is a wife, mom, speaker, passionate Bible teacher, and coffee lover, Michelle Nezat. Michelle and I had a fun on a bun chat about her first book, “A Seat at the Table: A Contemporary Christian Redemption Story with a Hint of Romance”, why Christian music should complement, not replace, Scripture, lessons from podcasting for over 10 years, and more!!!Key Things You'll Learn:What inspired Michelle to start her podcast and eventually get Mandisa to repost one of her episodesWhy she's not a big fan of devotionalsWhat kept Michelle focused on her journey of deconstruction and reconstruction to finally getting her 1st novel publishedThree major lessons learned from starting, growing, and running her podcastMichelle's Site: https://www.michellenezat.com/podcast-tour/Michelle's Book: https://www.amazon.com/Seat-Table-Contemporary-Christian-Redemption/dp/B0DJK5ZX5Q/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0Michelle's Podcast, “More Than a Song”: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/more-than-a-song-discovering-the-truth-of/id829432908The opening track is titled, “Unknown From M.E. | Sonic Adventure 2 ~ City Pop Remix” by Iridium Beats.

Eigentlich regnet es in Barcelona um diese Jahreszeit ja nur selten – und doch fiel der Start des Megafestivals ins Wasser. Zwar wurden Ponchos verteilt, trotzdem fielen zahlreiche Gigs aus. Doch dem Musikgenuss tat das keinen Abbruch. Was nehmen wir vom Startschuss in den Festivalsommer mit? Im Gegensatz zum grossen Pop-Feuerwerk der letztjährigen Ausgabe mit Carpenter, Roan und XCX waren die Pop-Girls am Primavera Sound dieses Jahr eher rar gesät – bis auf eine Ausnahme: Ohne Vorankündigung und ohne auf dem Line-up zu stehen, tauchte Olivia Rodrigo am Samstag auf und gab in einem Surprise-Gig einen Vorgeschmack aufs kommende Album. Inklusive Kurzauftritt von und Weltpremiere mit Robert Smith... ...der natürlich bereits am Tag zuvor im Einsatz war. Das 2,5-Stunden-Marathonset von The Cure gehörte zu den strahlenden Höhepunkten der diesjährigen Ausgabe – zusammen mit überzeugenden Gigs von The xx, Big Thief, Baxter Dury und vielen mehr. Nur bei Kneecap wollte der Funken nicht so ganz überspringen. Und ob die zahlreichen Influencerinnen und Influencer, die von Haarprodukte- und Jeansmarken-Sponsoren ans Festival eingeflogen wurden, nun ebenfalls zum festen Inventar gehören? Auch das muss natürlich diskutiert werden.

Sieben Alben, internationale Gigs, immernoch Schreiner und Kellnerin: Widowspeak wollen sich das Leben in New York City leisten und dabei unabhängig vom musikalischen Erfolg leben. «Nur so bekommt die Band den nötigen Raum, sich frei zu entwickeln.» Das neue Album beweist, dass das Konzept aufgeht.

Joey and Jay Hardway talk about the gap between online success and real career traction. Why does so much music and content feel the same right now? They break down the Purple Cow theory and what it actually means to stand out as a DJ or producer in 2025. Plus: content fatigue, why studio videos don't bring bookings, Jay's process for releasing music, and why the biggest skill might be knowing who not to listen to.(00:00) Intro and Jay's engagement news(03:45) Nameless Festival Italy(06:00) Posting every day(08:25) The Purple Cow theory(12:10) Nostalgia content and why it misses the point(26:20) Does comedy content lead to gigs?(31:20) Streams, support, and still sitting at home(46:00) Learning production through remakes(49:10) Jay's release process(55:00) What is music without any outside input?

There are lots of things we know are good for our wellbeing, like eating properly, getting enough sleep, and doing exercise. But many of these are, let's face it, pretty boring some of the time and we might not feel very motivated to do them. But what if doing things for your wellbeing was actually fun? New research has looked at the impact listening to live music can have on us. Music itself has some very positive aspects to it such as changing our mood and helping us feel connections with other people who like the same music or whom we're playing music with. It seems going to a live music gig can have an even deeper impact on us via a phenomenon called “collective effervescence”. Collective effervescence is defined as having a strong sense of connection to other people present, feelings of elation, and that something special or even sacred is occurring – by its very definition it's only something you can get when you are experiencing something jointly with other people. You can get this with non-music events too – for example going to a wedding or for some people, attending a religious service. Collective effervescence seems to help reduce loneliness and improve people's mood – basically you feel better and more connected with other people. New research found people rated group events involving live music as more emotionally intense and unifying than group events that didn't involve music, and that the stronger a sense of emotional connection with others the more enjoyable people found the gig. This shared emotional high was linked not only to greater enjoyment and meaning during the event, but also to significantly greater happiness up to a week later. Need to be cautious about the results as it involved people looking back on what they remember happening, but it does seem that the appeal of gigs may lie in more than just performance alone. I've had lots of experiences of this myself but the best example I can remember of this is when our daughter went to the Taylor Swift concert in Sydney a couple of years ago – we went out to the stadium with her and the sense of a collective buzz amongst people on the train going out there and even just milling around was almost palpable. TayTay won't be everyone's cup of tea, but whatever your taste in music is why not get out there and seem some live music and enhance your own wellbeing in a way that's fun and enjoyable, especially as it's just coming to the end of New Zealand Music month!

Speaking on stages isn't just about public speaking. It's one of the fastest ways to build authority, grow your network, create partnerships, and open up entirely new revenue opportunities in your business. If you've been thinking about landing speaking opportunities as a creator, influencer, founder, or entrepreneur… this episode is for you! I'm breaking down how YOU can actually land speaking gigs and why these opportunities can lead to brand deals, partnerships, clients, and long-term business growth far beyond the speaking fee itself.

This is our chance to discuss the stories that won't make the news headlines but might fill up your social media feed. Film critic Kate Rodger, Culture 101 host Perlina Lau and Afternoons Senior Producer Olivia Wilson join Jesse to discuss what's taking up space in their group chats. Today it's audience etiquette, celebrity dress codes, and being publicly shameless - is it now okay?

Have you ever wondered how stand-up comedians keep an audience roaring with laughter? Is it just a God-given gift? Or does it require a discipline that is rarely noticed or understood? In this episode, you're going to get a inside-look at the real life of a comedian - how they break into the industry, work on their craft, and find a place in an ultra-competitive industry.  But that's not all - you'll also learn how you can maintain your values and stay true to your authentic personality when the industry sometimes treats your faith like a obstacle instead of a strength. Our guest, Danny Johnson, is a nationally touring clean comedian with 20+ years of experience whose style has been compared to Jerry Seinfeld, Kevin James, and Jackie Gleason. He's a Dry Bar Comedy Special veteran (Apple TV, Amazon, Peacock), a NateLand Live alumnus at the legendary Zanies Comedy Club, has appeared in numerous TV commercials, and tours the country regularly.Having not only faced the critics and the struggles of making a name in a fiercely competitive arena, he's also overcome health and mental challenges and continues to mentor others outside the comedy world as an author. You'll learn how faith, discipline, and radical honesty are your greatest weapons in the battle to make your way in your creative path - and how laughing at yourself might be a superpower you can use to your advantage. FOLLOW OUR GUESTDanny Johnson's WebsiteInstagramYouTube TiktokText the Show!

This month's music selector guest is the NYC and Ireland music fan Lauren Kennedy, who went viral for her Track Star video last year. Lauren Kennedy is the Athlone woman who has lived in New York for the last six years and is known for the viral video on the Track Star Youtube channel where she won $20,500 for correctly guessing all of the Irish bands selected for her on the show. Lauren very soundly donated all the money to the Palestine Children's Relief Fund. It was her second time on the show, after her first appearance where she was surprised by Bon Iver. You may, like me have been following her gig escapades in recent months in NYC where she went to see a load of Irish bands who were over to play. Lauren just moved back to Ireland for the summer so a perfect time to welcome this legend back to the country by catching up with the music she's loving at the moment. Music discussed and chosen on the episode from Dove Ellis, Florence Road, David Kitt, Rua Rí, Shamrock Showband, The Last Dinner Party, Getdown Services, Crying Loser, Lemoncello and Fundido.

Can you weave your faith into your creator work without compromising authenticity or turning your audience off? Whether you're a Christian author, musician, podcaster, or creative entrepreneur, you've probably struggled to figure out how to stay true to your faith while building mainstream success. In other words - being authentic without being heavy-handed or "preachy" with your message.Author, voiceover artist and musician Aaron Ryan has experienced this first hand as he has written dozens of books in the sci-fi and other genres. At every turn, he's allowed his faith to be the primary factor in his creative decisions - which has created both opportunities and obstacles he's had to navigate. If you've ever wondered what a Christian writing career looks like in the mainstream book publishing industry, how to tell stories that challenge the imagination without compromising your beliefs, or tried to reconcile yourself to being in a different creative lane as a Christian - this is the interview you want to hear. Learn more about our guest here: Author Aaron Ryan - WebsiteInstagramYouTubeText the Show!

On Episode 295 of Outside The Round, Matt Burrill sits down with Alabama native Hannah McFarland. From playing cover gigs at spots like the Bluegill to opening arena tours and hitting major festivals, Hannah shares her journey of putting in the work and finding her moment. She reflects on coming up in the Alabama scene, moving to Nashville, and the full-circle moments like covering “In Case You Didn't Know” to working with Brett Young, and going from her first arena experience with Zach Bryan to hitting the road on the Riley Green tour. Hannah also talks about her latest release “Missin' Me”, showing a more fun, up-tempo side of her artistry, while still rooted in the honesty her fans love.

As a "technical" CISO in a foreign country, Joanna realized that not all of her peers came from a technical background, like herself. It's a broad world and the CISO role varies a lot.

Why do some bands land high-paying corporate gigs… while others stay stuck playing bars forever?In this episode of *Cover Band Confidential*, we break down **eight very fixable reasons your band isn't getting corporate or private event bookings**—and what you can actually do about it.But first… we kick things off with a little chaos:* The backlash from a recent Rush video (because expectations vs reality is undefeated)* A Disney trip recap—including the *Caring for Giants* elephant tour and an aggressive number of Star Tours rides* Upcoming gigs, travel, and some new gear—including a Traveler guitar and a killer 1-watt Princeton-style ampWe also touch on a recent conversation with Eric Baines from the band Chicago—which ties directly into the bigger topic:

"Clarity feels slower in the beginning until confusion costs you months."Welcome back to The Speaker Lab Podcast! In this solo episode, host Dan Irvin gets candid about what it actually took to complete 10 paid speaking gigs in 10 weeks — and why none of it was accidental.This wasn't luck, and it wasn't a hot streak. It was the result of five specific mindset shifts that Dan applied deliberately to his speaking business — the same shifts he coaches Speaker Lab students on every day. From getting crystal clear on who he serves, to showing up in every client conversation as a partner rather than a performer, Dan walks you through the mental framework behind consistent, predictable bookings.Whether you're just getting started or you've been speaking for years but can't seem to find your rhythm, this episode will help you identify exactly where your business needs tightening — and what to do about it.You'll learn:Why clarity is your fastest path to speed — and what happens to your outreach when you skip itThe difference between doing a lot of outreach and doing the right outreach (hint: you need volume AND targeting)Why gigs come from conversations, not content — and how to stop being a "tinkerer"How thinking like a partner instead of a speaker completely changed Dan's businessWhat event planners are actually looking for — and why another generic speaker one sheet isn't itThe 85/15 rule (and why Dan thinks it's actually closer to 95/5)How 90% of Dan's last 10 gigs came from referrals — and how to build toward thatWhy momentum is engineered, not accidental — and how to start building it from wherever you are right nowHow to give yourself grace during the slow stretches without losing your rhythmWhy the gap in most speaking businesses isn't talent — it's structureAnd much, much more!"The gap wasn't the talent. It was the structure."Want Dan to look at your speaking business?

Michael Hutchence’s sudden death in 1997 at the age of 37 left a hole in the hearts of Australians and the world. His band, INXS, cut their teeth on the lawless pub circuit down under.
