This week on The Creep Dive, the girls unbox pure horror: ghost letters, tree-stuffed murderers, and a Florida man who took “eat your feelings” to a whole new level. Jen leads us through The Ghost Post of Irene Violet Munro, the Brighton woman getting century-old mail from a murdered girl's mother. Cassie brings the leaf-hoarding lunatic Matthew Hoffman — the kidnapper who filled his house with 110 bags of autumn leaves and bodies. Sophie wraps things up with the Florida man who spite-cooked his own peacocks. It's domestic chaos, ghosts with stamps, and crimes most foul.

Every creative has felt that moment—the blank page, the failed project, or the post that never caught on—when fear creeps in and whispers, “What if I'm really not meant to do this?” For Christian creators, that fear can run even deeper, making you question about your faith, calling, and worth. In this episode of The God and Gigs Show, Allen C. Paul shines a light on the hidden struggles with fear that hinder our creativity and offers a compassionate, honest roadmap for moving forward. We'll explore the real reasons behind your fears and offer faith-filled, practical strategies for turning setbacks into stepping stones.Frequently Asked Questions Answered in this EpisodeWhy do so many creatives struggle with the fear of failure? How does fear manifest for Christian creators specifically?  What are some hidden fears that fuel the visible fear of failure?Is feeling fear a sign of weak faith? What practical steps can help creatives move past the fear of failure?Tap to send us a text!

Is your creative identity firmly rooted in your relationship with God? Or are you in danger of putting all of your trust in your talent instead of Him? In this conversation with Gail Saintil, founder of God Arts, we explore the struggle every Christian creator faces: how to honor God with our gifts without letting them define us.

Sabrina Carpenter and Billie Eilish may not have much in common, but they do share one thing: asking fans to put their phones away at their concerts. Across the world of music, more artists and venues are asking people to stop filming every moment of the gig and instead, live in the moment to have an authentic experience. However, some artists say fans filming their best moments can help them go viral and boost their careers.Adam Chowdhury from the What in the World team explains what's happening on the dance floors around the globe.We hear from DJs who support no phones on the dance floor. South Korea's Marcus L tells us about the no-phone rules at club FAUST - the venue he co-founded in Seoul. Plus, German DJ duo Tube & Berger have released a single called ‘No Phones' which they say is a “protest song” against the use of phones at gigs.One feature of the world-famous Berlin nightlife is its broad ban on phone usage on its dance floors. Caitlin from the Renate & ELSE clubs tells us why most clubs in German capital don't allow people to use cameras at their venues.And London DJ Dwayne Parris Robinson explains why he prefers people to have their phones out capturing the best moments whenever he's behind the decks.Instagram: @bbcwhatintheworld Email: whatintheworld@bbc.co.uk WhatsApp: +44 330 12 33 22 6 Presenter: William Lee Adams Producers: Adam Chowdhury and Abiona Boja Editor: Emily Horler

Kennst du das Gefühl, dass du trotz harter Arbeit nicht so richtig vorankommst? Oder dass du alles aufsaugst – Kurse, Podcasts, Freebies – aber nie ins Umsetzen kommst? In dieser Folge spreche ich über drei Verhaltensmuster, die mir in meiner Arbeit mit Musikerinnen immer wieder begegnen. Sie entscheiden oft darüber, ob eine Karriere ins Stocken gerät oder wächst. Vielleicht erkennst du dich in einer Beschreibung wieder. Und vielleicht bringt dich diese Folge dazu, ganz ehrlich zu hinterfragen: *Wo stehe ich gerade wirklich und warum?* In dieser Podcastfolge lernst du:

Not every gig goes the way you want it to. Technical issues, a rough mix, or even just playing for a crowd that couldn't care less can be frustrating. In this video, I talk about what it's like to keep a good attitude when things fall apart on stage, and why sometimes you have to force a smile and keep pushing through.I also get into the difference between “filler gigs” where you're basically background music, and shows where people are actually there to see you play. Filler gigs can sometimes feel demoralizing, or artistically unfulfilling but usually pays decently. Shows, on the other hand, can be incredibly rewarding even if the paycheck is smaller.Support the show

How to Find and Secure Speaking Gigs: Expert Strategies from Dannella BurnettAre you a coach, business owner, or expert looking to grow your audience, income, and impact through speaking? In a recent podcast episode, Josh Elledge sat down with Dannella Burnett, founder of Speakers Need to Speak and Encore Elite Events, to share actionable strategies for landing more speaking gigs, maximizing stage opportunities, and building a sustainable speaking career.Unlocking More Speaking OpportunitiesOne of the biggest hurdles speakers face is access—finding the right events that align with their expertise and goals.

By focusing on quality over quantity, speakers can save time and gain exposure to the most valuable engagements.Dannella also emphasizes that the speaking landscape has evolved. Paid gigs are no longer the only path to success; free or “pay-to-play” opportunities can generate significant long-term ROI when leveraged strategically. The key is understanding how each opportunity contributes to audience growth, brand authority, and revenue generation.To overcome these challenges, speakers need both tools and guidance. Dannella's approach combines technology, curated lists, and hands-on support to ensure speakers find the right events, submit successful applications, and optimize every stage for maximum impact. By using this system, speakers can grow their reach, income, and influence more efficiently than going it alone.About Dannella BurnettDannella Burnett is the founder of Speakers Need to Speak and Encore Elite Events. With a background in culinary arts, event planning, and nonprofit engagement, she has developed a unique perspective on what it takes to succeed in the speaking world. Her mission is to elevate experts, thought leaders, and problem-solvers by helping them secure speaking opportunities that grow both their influence and business.About Speakers Need to SpeakSpeakers Need to Speak provides curated access to thousands of speaking opportunities each month, combining AI-powered matching with personalized support. The company helps speakers identify the best-fit gigs, streamline applications, and maximize stage potential, all with a flat-fee model that prioritizes the speaker's success rather than agency commissions.Links Mentioned in this EpisodeSpeakers Need to SpeakKey Episode HighlightsHow to find high-quality speaking opportunities without feeling overwhelmedPaid, free, and pay-to-play strategies for monetizing speaking gigsThe importance of aligning gigs with personal and business goalsUsing technology and curated support to maximize stage impactActionable tips for building speaker assets like one-sheets and demo videosConclusionThe speaking industry is more accessible than ever, but success requires strategy, tools, and guidance. By following Dannella Burnett's advice, speakers can identify the right gigs, optimize their presence on stage, and turn every opportunity into a stepping stone for growth and influence.

In this episode, Jared breaks down why wedding gigs are more than just love songs and aisle walks—they're bootcamp for high-end corporate events. He challenges the misconception that weddings are beneath serious musicians and makes a bold case that mastering weddings is essential if you want to book—and keep booking—lucrative corporate gigs. He shares how professionalism, gear standards, collaboration, and performance versatility all overlap between the two event types, and how saying “no” to weddings might actually be costing you corporate opportunities

Three outdoor Georgia/Florida gigs with Brad Paisley in August , 90°+ heat, swampy humidity, and sweat everywhere. Normally, that's when strings go dead and feel sluggish, but my D'Addario XS coated strings didn't just survive, they crushed it.After all three gigs, I used the same guitar and same set of strings for two recording sessions, and they still sounded and felt fresh.In this video, I'll share how the XS strings handled brutal touring conditions, why they feel great even when the air feels like soup, and the wild St. Augustine show where lightning struck nearby, Brad's rig went down, and we had to keep the show rolling.https://truetone.com/To Support the Channel:Patreon  https://www.patreon.com/AskZacTip jar:  https://paypal.me/AskZacVenmo @AskZacSupport the show

Ghost banned phones for their most recent tour, in this episode I debate whether this is practical or possible for smaller bands or only a 'privilege' for bands right at the top? playing in huge venues who have the facility, is it possible in a smaller venue and do newer smaller bands even want it....as maybe they need the free promo....why do we feel the need to document every moment of our lives without living in the moment? I get into the whys and wherefores on this one and why doesn't Tobias return my texts anymore? this and loads of other random nonsense.....support the show over at :https://patreon.com/AlanAverillPrimordial on Spotifyhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/0BZr6WHaejNA63uhZZZZek?si=yFFV8ypSSDOESUX62_0TzQsponsored by Metal Blade recordshttps://metalblade.indiemerch.com/promo code AA 2024 for 10% off your orderships worldwideFor info on my work as a booking agent go to:https://www.facebook.com/DragonProductionsOfficialor email alan@dragon-productions.comPrimordial cds/lps available fromhttps://www.metalblade.com/primordial/death metalVERMINOUS SERPENThttps://open.spotify.com/artist/54Wpl9JD0Zn4rhpBvrN2Oa?si=zOjIulHXS5y9lW1YHMhgTAdoomDREAD SOVEREIGN https://open.spotify.com/artist/60HY4pl0nbOrZA6u2QnqDN?si=sxQ5_1htR6G3WIvy1I_wXAgothAPRILMENhttps://open.spotify.com/artist/7GzLO1YJClmN5TvV4A37MJ?si=cRXSk24lQKWSqJG-B8KbWQSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/agitators-anonymous-the-alan-averill-podcast.

“The act of you and I exchanging contact information raises the standard that there is going to be a follow up…You want to make that connection and set the expectation right then and there.”Ever left a conference buzzing, only to watch that excitement fizzle when it comes to follow-up? This live coaching session from The Speaker Lab pulls back the curtain on how pros turn event momentum into real speaking business.Facilitator Erick Rheam teams up with speakers Bridget Quigg and Shannon GaNun for a candid conversation about what works and what doesn't in post-event follow-up. Bridget shares her frustration when promising leads go silent, and Erick offers simple, practical advice: always exchange contact info in person, set clear expectations for next steps, and don't rely on LinkedIn or mass attendee lists. Real business starts with real, personal connections.Shannon's question on breaking into corporate gigs leads to another golden nugget: you don't need a hard pitch. Just mention that you're available for future engagements. Those off-the-cuff invitations can turn warm applause into future bookings.Above all, this episode is a reminder that success as a speaker lies in small tweaks, human conversations, and showing up consistently. Don't overcomplicate it, be approachable, follow up promptly, and seize opportunities. Listen in and learn how to make every gig and every follow-up count.You'll learn:Using a consistent methodology various length talksAuthentic, conversational human interactions on stageOvercoming fear of forgetting points during live presentationsLeaning into your professional background and network for focus areasEffective follow-up strategies after eventsTurning custom items into repeatable assetsOn-stage call-to-action practicesThe SPARK framework (Statistic, Picture, Anecdote, Real-life story)The importance of practicingAnd much, much more!"I believe everybody was created for a unique purpose.

Few topics spark more passion (and opinion) than the discussion over Gospel versus Contemporary Christian Music (CCM) in our churches.If you've ever felt overwhelmed by the pressure to pick a side, or wrestled with how to faithfully serve God, your congregation, and your artistry in a culture full of musical "either/ors," you're not alone. That's why we're revisiting a powerful and timely conversation with music minister  Levell Hawkins on The God and Gigs Show. This discussion isn't just about genres—it's about embracing a spiritual, creative, and professional mindset that transcends the “worship wars,” helps you build a lasting career, and unites your creative calling with God's greater purpose.Tap to send us a text!
