Noah Guthrie first made a name for himself and his music when his YouTube cover songs were noticed by producers for the Ellen DeGeneres Show. He “won” a contract with Degeneres's fledgling record label which never manifested an actual album for the South Carolina singer-songwriter. But an appearance on America's Got Talent started the ball rolling for Guthrie. In that 2018 season of AGT he finished as a semifinalist. That soon placed him on the circuit of Today shows and Tonight shows, let to albums of originals and cover tunes and even landed him in the role of Roderick Meeks on the last season of the hit TV show Glee.  Today, Guthrie is promoting his new album Oddly Flexible, an astonishing record of deep, emotional journeys through life and love. It features the single, “Heavy,” which documents Noah's battle with his weight and self-image. The song has struck a nerve with fans who also deal with body image issues.  Noah joined Frank and Falls on Roots Music Rambler this week to talk about the song, the album, Noah's colorful journey and background. And yes, we talked about his beginnings on YouTube, including his amazing cover of LMFAO's “Sexy and I Know It.” Frank and Falls also clarify a recent controversy around the Manchester Music Fest, reassuring everyone the 2026 event is on as planned and Falls will see you there!

Treating schizophrenia in America is often described as a broken system, not because of a lack of medical knowledge, but due to structural and policy failures. The failures of these systems has created a cycle where individuals often move between homelessness, emergency rooms, and the criminal justice system rather than receiving ongoing care. Many families and caregivers struggle to get help even when the situation turns dangerous. In this episode, hosts Rachel Star Withers and Gabe Howard discuss how the government and health care system failures lead to these tragedies and what needs to change. They unpack cases like the one involving Rob Reiner, where his son, who has schizophrenia, is suspected of murdering both his parents during a severe mental health crisis. Guest Gail Freedman joins later in the episode. She is the director, writer, and producer of a new documentary, “No One Cares About Crazy People.” It's inspired by Ron Powers acclaimed book of the same name and it's an intimate, immersive dive into the crisis and chaos of severe mental illness and the grassroots movement to do something about it. Guest Information: With over 25 years as an award-winning filmmaker, Gail Freedman has produced, directed, and written dozens of documentaries on a wide range of subjects. Among her films: “Hot to Trot,” an award-winning feature documentary inside the fascinating but little-known world of same-sex competitive ballroom dance; “Making the 9/11 Memorial,” a primetime special for The History Channel; “Breaking the Silence Barrier” (cognitive disabilities); “Where's The Cure?” (breast cancer activism); “Generation Rx” (the opioid crisis); “Lessons for the Future” (public education); “Giving While Living” (philanthropy); and “A Forever Family” (Annie E. Casey Foundation). “No One Cares About Crazy People”Inspired by Ron Powers' acclaimed book of the same name, “No One Cares About Crazy People” is an intimate deep dive into the crisis and chaos of severe mental illness in America. A heartbreaking family memoir and searing social history, it is personal and immersive — but also tracks a burgeoning grassroots movement to reinvent our failed systems. Narrated by actor Bob Odenkirk (“Breaking Bad,” “Better Call Saul”) with original music by Wilco frontman Jeff Tweedy.

Bruno Mars' nephews auditioned for America's Got Talent in the Hollywood Minute.

What happens when two successful entertainers reach a point where fame, success, and recognition are no longer enough? On this episode of Between the Notes, Paisan Kapitan sits down with two fascinating guests whose journeys couldn't be more different—yet somehow arrive at the same destination. First, Armenian artist Eric Shane opens up about leaving Los Angeles for Las Vegas, finding peace after years of inner turmoil, strengthening his faith, overcoming grief, and discovering a healthier perspective on life, music, and relationships. It's a candid conversation about growth, healing, and learning to let go. Then, joining us from England via "JAMS CAM', world-renowned entertainer Kev Orkian shares stories from an extraordinary career that has taken him from concert halls and West End stages to royal performances and international acclaim. Along the way, Kev discusses comedy, philanthropy, Armenia, mental health, and one behind-the-scenes allegation he volunteered about Britain's Got Talent that you'll have to hear for yourself. This episode isn't about celebrity. It's about perspective. One guest found peace. One guest found purpose. Both discovered that success means very little if you don't know who you are when the spotlight fades. In this episode: • Eric Shane on faith, healing, music, and life in Las Vegas • The personal loss that changed everything • Why peace became more important than fame • Kev Orkian on comedy, music, and performing around the world • The surprising story behind his Britain's Got Talent experience • Mental health, resilience, and life beyond the stage • Philanthropy work in Armenia and building a lasting legacy Subscribe for more conversations with artists, entrepreneurs, creators, and worldchangers!

What do you do when you walk into a room and you know almost nobody? This week I visited TikTok HQ in London for an AI and content creation event and walked in knowing exactly one person. In today's episode of Inside Out Smile, I reflect on what happened next, and what it revealed about the nature of human connection, courage, and showing up before you feel ready. Because connection isn't a lottery. It isn't something that happens to you. It's something you participate in creating, and it starts long before you walk through the door. It starts on the inside. Every series of Britain's Got Talent reminds us that extraordinary people hide in the most unexpected places. The same is true of every room you walk into. You never know who is standing next to you holding a coffee, what they've overcome, what they're building, what they carry. That thought alone changed how I moved around that room. Whether you're someone who finds networking uncomfortable, who watches communities from the edges without quite stepping in, or who talks yourself out of events because you don't know enough people, this episode is for you. In this episode: The quiet courage it takes to walk into an unfamiliar room Why the most connected people in any room are rarely the most impressive What genuine curiosity does that performance never can How inner security creates outer connection Why you never know who you're going to meet, and why that should excite you With peace and love always, Amber xoxo

Đó cũng là nơi cô học sinh lớp 10 ngày nào bắt đầu thử sức với những giai điệu đầu tiên trên SoundCloud, để rồi từng bước viết nên hành trình âm nhạc của riêng mình.Một bông hồng đỏ. Nhắc đến Marzuz là nhắc đến mái tóc đỏ quen thuộc và những bản nhạc vừa gai góc, vừa dịu dàng chữa lành.

Qua những câu chuyện ấy, người nghe sẽ gặp lại cô bé My Anh từng làm bạn với âm nhạc từ rất sớm, để rồi sau nhiều trải nghiệm và biến chuyển, trở thành một Marzuz rực cháy với những điều muốn kể qua từng ca khúc của mình.Kết nối với chúng mình tại fanpage: https://www.facebook.com/cnnerdingulucmaygio Director: Nguyễn HùngHost: Thư PhạmBiên tập: Thanh Khôi, Minh AnHình ảnh: Chi Mai, Lucy VũKỹ thuật: Đức KiênTư liệu tham khảo: marzuz, Vietnam's Got Talent, CNN Idol 2016, mrnguyenphutai, Minh Việt Phạm, Hải Anh Nguyễn, Trần Hồng Hạnh White Petals by Keys of Moon |⁠ ⁠⁠https://soundcloud.com/keysofmoon⁠Attribution 4.0 International (CC BY 4.0)⁠https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/⁠Music promoted by⁠ ⁠⁠https://www.chosic.com

Its been a record breakingly hot week across much, though not all, of the UK, and that's brought probems for farmers, with crops struggling and livestock at risk of overheating. We ask what more extreme weather means for the future of British farming.Independent UK pig farmers face an uncertain future according to the National Pig Association, which this week called for long-term committements from retailers, processors and the foodservice sector. It comes two weeks after the supermarket Morrisons said it will stop buying pigs from some of its farmers, because of an oversupply of pig meat - blaming the 'challenging economic climate.'And we speak to the Hawkstone Farmers Choir ahead of their participation in the final of Britain's Got Talent. The choir is made up of farmers and others working in agriculture and was originally set up as part of an advertising campaign, but has since been using its growing fame to talk about mental health in farming.Presented by Charlotte Smith Produced by Heather Simons

The group reflects on their time in Adjuntas, Puerto Rico, where they helped install solar and storage systems, spent time with beneficiary families, and saw firsthand why energy resilience can be life-changing.  The episode also touches on the importance of energy independence, the challenges facing Puerto Rico's grid, the role of solar and storage in building resilience, and why service-based experiences can create deeper relationships than traditional networking or industry events.

In this episode, Russell reflects on his November 2025 Let's Share the Sun delegation to Puerto Rico, where he installed a solar panel for the first time despite nearly two decades in clean energy.
