Music, Curiosity, and Empathy: A Conversation with Grace PettisHost Jason English welcomes Grace Pettis to the Curious Goldfish podcast to discuss her music and her journey. Grace shares her story about writing a song as an apology to her best friend, Landon, who came out as gay after high school. The song, named 'Landon', helped rekindle their friendship and has served as a catalyst for conversations about acceptance and understanding. Grace shares her views on representation in music, highlighting the need for more female voices and the exploration of female experiences. The podcast also discusses the TV show Ted Lasso, its depiction of dynamic female characters, and the underlying themes of decency and empathy in the series. Finally, Grace hints at her new record, influenced by personal loss, separation and life after divorce, dedicated especially to those who have been affected by loved ones' struggles with substance abuse.00:07 Introduction and Songwriting as Therapy00:54 Welcome to Curious Goldfish01:31 The Connection with Grace Pettis02:15 The Inspiration from Ted Lasso02:40 The Impact of Decency and Empathy03:22 The Powerful Scene from Ted Lasso04:18 The Importance of Support and Understanding05:56 The Church's Approach to Homosexuality09:08 The Story Behind the Song 'Landon'12:11 The Power of Apology and Reconnection22:02 The Importance of Women's Voices in Music26:32 The Upcoming Album and Final Thoughts29:40 Grace Pettis' Performance

So he started swinging his leg over the tops of chairs to sit down. Look this up on YouTube if you haven't seen it. There's a hilarious viral compilation video. Frakes' back injury is also the reason for the famous “Riker Lean.” Frakes also thought it would be a hilarious and cocky thing for his character to do, and when no one called him out on it, he continued to do it. In his words: "That started in Ten Forward because the backs of the chairs were so low, it was easy. And then I thought, this is really a hotdog, @$$hole thing to do. Nobody's going to let me do this. And then nobody stopped me! It's such a cocky, unattractive, kind of bad cowboy move… Whoever did the YouTube compilation of Riker sits down, it went viral and was even more embarrassing, and made me strangely even more proud."Strange New Worlds premieres on Paramount Plus on May 5th!!The redshirts in this episode have indeed been featured in a well-circulated meme but Sarah is correct when she points out that several of the “red shirts” in this episode are wearing yellow. Here's a link to the meme: https://ifunny.co/meme/kirk-spock-mccoy-and-ensign-ricky-are-beaming-down-to-x6x7hHnu5According to Memory Alpha, a fairly comprehensive online Star Trek wiki, the Metron at the end of the episode was played by Carole Shelyne and voiced by Vic Perrin. I couldn't confirm that the Metron on the ship intercom's is also voiced by Perrin so that remains an unanswered question.From Wikipedia's entry on the Prime Directive: “The first filmed reference to the Prime Directive occurs in the first season TOS episode "The Return of the Archons" (1966), when Spock begins to caution Captain Kirk of the starship Enterprise when he proposes to destroy a computer controlling an entire civilization.”The aliens I couldn't think of, who brokered peace between humans and Klingons were the Organians. The treaty is called the Treaty of Organia or the Organian Peace Treaty. The episode is TOS 1:27, “Errand of Mercy.”The book Grace recommends is The Age of Miracles by Karen Thompson Walker

-You can find tour dates, news, merch, and music, including Slaid's latest album, Ghost on the Car Radio, at Slaid's website: slaid.com or slaidcleaves.com (there's a new website coming soon- stay tuned for that).-Slaid is back in the studio, making his first album in five years with producer Scrappy Jud Newcomb. This will be Slaid's third album with Newcomb.-Slaid is back on tour! Tour dates start on the west coast in March and new dates are added all the time on his website. Sign up for the mailing list to stay in the know. He's not on social media much, but you can reach him through the website.Here's a link to the official Troubadours on Trek Spotify Playlist, where you can hear all the featured songs from every episode in one playlist (songs will be added as episodes air on Patreon):-Slaid's song pairing for this episode: "Is It Like Today?" by Eliza Gilkyson and the original version of "Is It Like Today?" by World Party (Karl Wallinger of The Waterboys)-Grace's song pairing for this episode: “War” by The Temptations-Slaid's featured song is "If I Had a Heart," from his latest album, Ghost on the Car Radio.Corrections:The two factions in "The Omega Glory" (TOS 2:23) are the "Kohms" and the "Yangs" (I said "Kahns" in this recording instead of "Kohms")."Balance of Terror" (TOS 1:14) gets its name from the expression that refers to the nuclear arms race of the Cold War. But this episode is not about mutually assured destruction, per se. If I'm missing any other Star Trek episodes that tackle the subject, let me know!It's "The Man in the High Castle," not "Man in the High Tower," and it is indeed based on the novel of the same name, written by Philip K. Dick.Slaid is entirely correct about Star Trek's Nielson ratings in the 60's. When Star Trek aired on NBC, its ratings were low, and the network cancelled it in its third season. It's useful to keep in mind, however, that at the time the vast majority of TV viewers were watching only three broadcast networks: ABC, CBS, or NBC. So even a show with "low ratings" in the 60's would have commanded a much larger audience than a show with "low ratings" today. So it's kind of hard to make comparisons today. But its true that Star Trek didn't really become the hit show that it is today with its cult following and influence on popular culture until the 70's, when it was in syndication.Is Q, and the coinciding Q Continuum, immortal? The much loved character Q, from Star Trek: Next Generation is an omnipotent being with the ability to control time and space at will. Q is part of a collective, the Q Continuum, which exists in another dimension not accessible or understandable to humans. Q is not a benevolent being. He is better described as bored than benevolent. Although he has a fascination with Picard and with humanity and its historical outcomes, he is at times antagonistic and arbitrarily cruel. Trelane, the antagonist of this episode, "The Squire of Gothos," is a precursor to Q. The question of whether or not Q can decline or die has been recently raised as a possible plot line in the newest season of Star Trek: Picard, currently airing on Paramount Plus.

Come celebrate that release at a big party at Sagebrush in Austin, Texas, March 31st. Ruby's on the bill and all the proceeds from that event will go to sending women out of state to get medical care, in partnership with Fund Texas Choice.Here's a link to the official Troubadours on Trek Spotify Playlist, where you can hear all the featured songs from every episode in one playlist (songs will be added as episodes air on Patreon):-(Ruby forgot to choose a song pairing. If she sends me one later, I'll add it here!)-Grace's song pairing for this episode: “Galileo” by the Indigo Girls.-Ruby Dice's featured songs are "Think Free" and "Yellow T-Shirt," from her 2021 Denim Disco EP and 2020 Wild Ones EP, respectively.Corrections:The Galileo (registration NCC-1701/7) was a class F shuttlecraft. The complement on a Constitution class starship like the Enterprise would have been typically four total shuttlecraft. So the “/7” designation is not in reference to the total number of shuttlecraft aboard, as I thought.The Janeway/Chakotay get stranded on a planet together episode is called “Resolutions” (VOY 2:25).The Janeway/Paris lizard babies episode is “Threshold” (VOY 2:15).

If they fail to do one of these two things, they will enter "Plak Tow," or the "blood fever," become violent and potentially die. Star Trek canon has established that Vulcans can have sex (and I guess, masturbate too) any time they want; not just during pon farr. But masturbating can't kill their crazy sex urges during pon farr. Only mating with a Vulcan they're bonded to can do that (or, alternatively, ritualized battle, or the "kal-il-fee").“Africa U.S.A” was a 100-acre wild animal preserve in Soledad Canyon, California (in Santa Clarita, about 30 miles northwest of Los Angeles). It only existed from 1965-1969 before it was tragically destroyed by a flood. “Shore Leave” was in fact the only Star Trek episode filmed there.Angela reappears at the end, after Kirk and the Caretaker have had a conversation about the planet. We don't see her coming out from underground, but at the end, when everybody is paired up we see her standing next to Rodriguez, apparently healed and/or resurrected. At no point does anyone mention her or the fact that she was injured/dead.Androids, or robots made to look like humans, are a science fiction staple. The term originates in the 1700's, as a descriptor for an automaton. (Automatons are human-like or animal-like mechanical dolls that move and perform functions when wound up or switched on. There are lots of creepy historical examples. See for yourself on YouTube.) Androids began showing up in science fiction around the turn of the century and have been heavily featured in lots of science fiction short stories, books, film, and television.Some famous and early examples are found in Metropolis, the 1927 German film by Fritz Lang, I, Robot by Issac Asimov, Do Androids Dream of Electric Sheep by Philip K. Dick (which was the inspiration for Blade Runner), Westward , which, before it was the popular HBO series created by Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy, was another television series from the 1970's, written and directed by Michael Crichton, and of course, Star Trek. Episodes of the Original Series that feature androids include “What Are Little Girls Made Of?", "I, Mudd", "Return to Tomorrow", and "Requiem for Methuselah.” One of the most beloved main characters of Star Trek: Next Generation is Data, an android created by Dr. Noonien Soong.Many stories about androids are not really about androids as much as they are about humans; android stories tell us about the human condition and human nature. Depictions of female androids, like the androids in The Stepford Wives or Westworld, tell us something about the ways that humans (read: men) understand, idealize, and seek to control women.

Does anyone have the answer? I don't.As far as I can tell, the first appearance of the streaky star effect (where all the stars blur into lines streaking past the Enterprise when it goes into warp) was in Star Trek II: Wrath of Khan, the second Star Trek movie. Wrath of Khan came out in 1982, five years after Star Wars debuted in 1977. Which means Star Wars did it first, as far as I can tell (someone correct me if I'm wrong). In the opening credits for the Original Series, we definitely get a whooshing noise as the Enterprise zooms through space, but no streaky star effect.

Album produced by Ryan).Corrections:The "guy who sells everybody out in the Matrix" was Cypher, played by Joe Pantoliano.In the context of talking about the Irish fairyland Tír na nÓg, Grace said it was like “Rumpelstiltskin.” She meant Rip van Winkle, a character in a Washington Irving story who famously slept for 20 years, while the world went on without him. Rumpelstiltskin is the Brothers Grimm fairytale where a creature named Rumpelstiltskin turns straw to gold in exchange for a maiden's firstborn child.

You can get your copy of Barbara's new album, Someday, Maybe Sooner, which she made during the coronavirus pandemic, through her website.  The album is also available on Spotify, iTunes, Amazon, and through other fine purveyors of records that don't suck.Barbara plays livestreams on Facebook and also has lots of new songs and “thoughtlets” available to enjoy on Patreon. Help support her there for as little as $2/month to get it all.Barbara also does “Coronagram” commissions.  Order one for someone you love- Barbara will send them a virtual song.   More info is available on her website.Here's a link to the official Troubadours on Trek Spotify Playlist, where you can hear all the featured songs from every episode in one playlist (songs will be added as episodes air on Patreon):-Barbara's song pairing for this episode: "Paranoid Android,” by Radiohead.-Grace's song pairings for this episode: "Mr. Roboto," by Styx and "Robots," by Flight of the Conchords.-Barbara's featured song is "Frostbite," from her new album, Someday, Maybe Sooner.Corrections:Ted Cassidy died of complications following open heart surgery in 1979 (aged 46).  André René Roussimoff (André the Giant) died of congestive heart failure in 1993 (also aged 46).I suspect that the episode with the “child android” that Barbara is thinking of is “Hero Worship” (TNG 05:11). In this episode, there's a child, Timothy, but he is not actually an android.  He pretends to be an android, to cope with the trauma of being the only survivor of a tragic event.  But eventually, with help from the Enterprise crew, reverts to healthy human little boy behavior.  The only other example of a child or offspring android (before we get to the new Picard series- won't mention details here for the sake of avoiding spoilers) in Trek that I can think of is Lal, Data's “daughter” (TNG 03:16).The three episodes of the Original Series that do NOT feature Leonard McCoy are (this episode) “What Are Little Girls Made Of?” (TOS 01:07), “The Menagerie, Part II” (TOS 01:16), and “Errand of Mercy” (TOS 01:27).

The founder of Nobody's Girl (with Rebecca Loebe and Betty Soo) and daughter of beloved songwriter Pierce Pettis, Grace Pettis was raised in a "homogeneous community steeped in a traditional Christian faith." This led to some questionable decisions as a a young person, including not reacting in a loving way when her best friend, Landon, came out to her as a gay man. Fortunately, that frame of mind and that action do not define her. Through contemplation, information gathering and soul-searching, Grace landed in a different place. She realized how she had done Landon wrong and also knew she could only express it through song, which is how her new song "Landon" came about. Grace relates to and prefers brave songwriters and the new song certainly is brave. An interesting note to make about Grace is that even though her dad is a successful musician, Garth Brooks, Joan Baez and many others have recorded his songs, her parents did not want their children to pursue music. That all changed after Grace attempted to teach herself on a self-purchased cheap guitar. Her mom, seeing her daughter struggle, finally let Grace play her fancy Martin guitar. Eventually, her dad let her use one of his guitars and things began falling into place. She moved to Austin and started playing open mics and attending Kerrville Folk Festival. She even won the New Folk Award at Kerrville in 2011 (something her dad ALSO won in 1987). Grace is very open and honest in our conversation. She addresses questions ranging from how she is actively being anti-racist to her Star Trek podcast ("Troubadours on Trek"). We love Grace! Thanks for being on the podcast! American Songwriter Podcast Network Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brands

Dozens of gift cards will be given to anyone who donates $50 or more. 3:30 p.m. to 6 p.m. facebook.com/comboplatebooking. Donations: southbysoupfest.org. — P.B. Wednesday: Ray Wylie Hubbard. Overshadowed by the world turning upside down late last week was the uniquely bizarre announcement that Wimberley’s own Ray Wylie Hubbard has signed to Nashville major Big Machine Records, home to Tim McGraw, Sugarland, Midland and others. Want proof? Tune into his livestream, which will air at 7 p.m. from, you guessed it, facebook.com/bigmachinerecords. — P.B. Wednesday: Little Mazarn.

Donations: See streaming site. — P.B. Friday: Emily Gimble. The official Texas State Musician for 2020, Emily followed in the footsteps of her legendary grandfather Johnny Gimble, the pioneering western swing fiddler who was named Texas State Musician in 2003. Gimble’s instrument of choice is piano, and she’s been a regular in local clubs for more than a decade, both on her own and during stints with Warren Hood and Asleep at the Wheel. In a social media post announcing the show, Gimble said she’s “planning on making this a regular thing until the storms clear.” 6 p.m. facebook.com/mlegimble. Donations: Venmo mlegimble; PayPal mlegimble@gmail.com — P.B. Friday-Thursday: Jackie Venson. No stranger to virtual jams, Austin’s guitar ace has been hosting online sessions for fans and followers in her JV Squad Facebook group for over a year. Now, with the coronavirus pandemic leaving much of the country homebound, she’s pledged to drop an internet jam session each night at 9:30 p.m. In addition to singing and playing guitar, she might hop on the piano or treat listeners to tunes from her new Jackie the Robot DJ set. “It’s all on the table now. I mean, last night’s show featured Jackie doing a rendition of ‘Keep On’ on the ukulele,” Venson’s manager (and fiance) Louie Carr said on Tuesday. facebook.com/jackievenson. Donations: paypal.me/jackievenson — D.S.S. Saturday: DJ Mel’s Living Room Dance Party. On March 16, when the South by Southwest Music Festival should have been kicking off but Austinites were hunkered down at home instead, DJ Mel took to the turntables to host the first edition of this virtual body-rock-a-thon. Thousands of viewers from around the country tuned in. Expecting to play for a handful of “Austin homies,” he was “shocked” by the response, he told the Statesman on Sunday afternoon while combing through the 17,000 comments on his Facebook post. He’s decided to make the Saturday night jam a regular affair. The party will kick off at 6 p.m. and run till 10, and to keep the (virtual) event family-friendly, he plans to use radio edits of all your favorite rap tunes. facebook.com/DJ-Mel-48330349120 — D.S.S. RELATED: Thousands tune in to DJ Mel’s virtual dance party Sunday: Jeff Plankenhorn. Not since Junior Brown’s 1990s breakthrough with his “guit-steel” has an Austin-based artist become so specifically associated with a custom-made instrument as Plankenhorn’s trusty “plank,” a Dobro-like contraption. His versatility as a musician has long made him in high demand with acts including Joe Ely and the Resentments, the latter outfit having welcomed him into their fold many years ago for Sunday night shows at the Saxon Pub. With those shows on hold for now amid the coronavirus pandemic, Plankenhorn has staked out some time this Sunday for a virtual show of his own. 8 p.m. facebook.com/events/194330805185995.

Mike Mitchell and Chas E are back with 3 more beers , 3 more original songs from Nashville artists, and 2 (thats right 2) Top 6 lists to tantalize your intellect. Okay, we’re exaggerating on the intellect thing, but we promise you a great time. First off, Mike and Chas take on a controversial Top 6 of the Top Douche Bags in Country Music. How could there be douche bags in any kind of music! Well, we’ll check out suggestions from writer Mike Seely and see if we agree or disagree. And then as if that wasn’t enough, Mike and Chas create their own Top 6 list - the Top 6 Hottest Seinfeld Girlfriends as featured on the comedy series. It’s truly groundbreaking stuff that could only be created after plenty of craft beer tasting. Speaking of craft beer, we take on three offerings this episode including the Vader CDA from Gilgamesh, the VIP from Hop Valley Brewing, and the Spruce Beerstein from Jackalope Brewing. Three great dark ales with three distinct personalities. We also revisit three awesome performances from previous At The Hops including Roger Jaegar, Steve Charles and Grace Pettis - another trio of big talents with truly, distinct voices. And the good times don’t end there, we even have a hint of Ross Mathews news in the mix. How could that be you wonder? Just get your free episode and see!
