In this episode, you'll learn how to stop doubting yourself and get anything you want in life. Mel is thrilled to introduce you to her incredible guest today – someone she's admired and followed for years, and who is here today for YOU. Benny Blanco is one of the most successful and sought-after music producers and songwriters in the world and one of the defining hitmakers of the 21st century. Benny is a 12-time Grammy-nominated songwriter and producer with 29 #1 hits and 19 songs that have over a billion streams on Spotify. But, Benny didn't start his impressive career with everything figured out. He didn't grow up with money, some magical level of confidence, or everything figured out. He built his career by showing up, failing, getting rejected, trying again, and learning through experience. Today, Benny reveals what most people never see: the rejection, the fear, the self-doubt, and the countless moments when everything could have fallen apart. And he will show you the life-changing tools and strategies that have helped him push through nonstop rejection and setbacks. Benny has also written a fantastic brand-new book called “F*ck Failure” – which happens to be exactly the message he's here to share with you today: Every single failure is leading you somewhere, even if you can't see it right now. Your life can look entirely different a year from now. If you want the dream job, true love, unshakeable confidence, better friendships, or more happiness, Benny wants you to know there's one rule: Keep showing up. In this episode, you'll learn: -The simple mindset shift Benny uses to erase failure and keep moving -Why you're only one small move away from changing your life for the better -Why waiting to feel ready is a losing game -The wild story behind a #1 hit that almost never happened, and why it proves you can't give up -How to stop letting self-doubt make your decisions -How to keep showing up when you're exhausted, embarrassed, or convinced you have no idea what you're doing -How to face the fears you've been avoiding for years -How a list Benny made before he started dating his wife, Selena Gomez, can help you stop settling in your own life This conversation will make you rethink every failure, every rejection, and every excuse you have been using to stay stuck. As Benny will show you, failure doesn't have to break you. It's the very thing that can make you unstoppable. If he can turn his failures into hits, you can turn yours into the life you've been wanting to live. For more resources related to today's episode, click here for the podcast episode page.

Six-time GRAMMY-nominated artist Luis Figueroa joins Gracias, Come Again to talk salsa, Puerto Rican culture, family, and his journey from YouTube covers to becoming one of the genre’s brightest stars. Luis shares how posting covers online led to being discovered by Marc Anthony, who became a major mentor in his career, and opens up about touring with Romeo Santos, where he fully embraced the Spanish language and went from not being fluent or confident speaking it to becoming fluent and even more connected to his culture. We also revisit the moment Honey first discovered Luis performing in the Bronx alongside the legendary La India, singing her iconic duet originally recorded with Marc Anthony. Luis talks about keeping salsa alive for a new generation, his Puerto Rican roots, songwriting, family, and why carrying the culture forward means so much to him. This is a conversation about music, identity, language, legacy, and why Luis Figueroa is no longer just considered the future of salsa, he is very much part of its present.

John is joined by Kevin Parker, aka Tame Impala, to talk about how he wrote, recorded and produced the album ‘Deadbeat'.  Kevin launched the electronic and psychedelic rock-influenced Tame Impala in 2007 as a home recording project. Throughout the 2010s, Tame Impala became a huge critical and commercial success, winning two Grammys and selling out shows worldwide. Kevin has collaborated with numerous other artists including Justice, Gorillaz and Dua Lipa, and is regularly cited as one of the industry's most influential artists. The fifth Tame Impala album, 'Deadbeat', featuring worldwide hits ‘Dracula' and ‘Loser', arrived in October 2025.  Joining John from his LA studio, Kevin shares what he calls his ‘astoundingly boring' approach to producing his famous vocals (spoiler: he's being too modest!), how he created the ‘Deadbeat drum beat', being inspired by The Strokes on this record, the essential plugins that shaped the album's sound, plus he answers questions from our Patreons!

Valerie June joins us ahead of her Sunday, September 13 performance at Maryland Hall as part of the Annapolis Songwriters Festival, just two days after the release of her new EP, Brighter Blue. The Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, poet, and author talks about why she still lets songs come to her rather than forcing the process, how unfinished songs can wait years before they are ready, and why being surrounded by other songwriters in Annapolis is something she is genuinely looking forward to. We're gonna be the ancestors. So do we wanna leave a legacy behind of kindness like Dolly did? I do. The conversation also gets into the blues influences behind "Smokestack," learning electric guitar after two decades of playing, the early years when June was busking and selling records out of the trunk of her car, and the artists who continue to inspire her. She talks movingly about Dolly Parton and the legacy of kindness she left behind, names Bob Dylan without hesitation as the artist she would most like to share a stage with, and explains why "Somebody to Love" still creates a special connection with audiences. Valerie June performs at Maryland Hall at 8 p.m. Sunday, September 13 as part of the Annapolis Songwriters Festival. Tickets are available through the Annapolis Songwriters Festival, Maryland Hall and Rams Head On Stage. Have a listen.

This episode is brought to you by JamCut.IO (https://jamcut.io/). If you're a musician and you're tired of making clips all the time, check these guys out! Molly Tuttle joins Andy Frasco for a wide-ranging conversation about growing up in a bluegrass family, becoming one of the best guitar players of her generation, and finding her place in Nashville. Molly talks about losing her hair to alopecia as a child, dealing with social anxiety, and how music gave her a way to connect with people. She looks back on meeting Sierra Hull and other future bluegrass stars as a kid, moving to Nashville with no manager or booking agent, and eventually moving into a house with Billy Strings and his partner Ally, right across the street from Lindsay Lou. She also tells a hilarious story about taking an edible at a festival, unexpectedly getting asked to sit in with another artist, and having a full-blown panic attack onstage. Plus, Molly talks about winning IBMA Guitar Player of the Year, her Grammy success, songwriting with her partner Ketch Secor, the song "Crooked Tree," burnout in the music industry, and what she ultimately hopes people remember about her.

Some artists do their best work alone. Others thrive on collaboration. Grammy-winning bassist, producer and singer-songwriter Thundercat — also known as Stephen Bruner — has always lived in both worlds. But coming from a musical lineage where music feels more like a conversation between artists, collaboration has become central to his creative life. His latest album, Distracted, features collaborations with Willow, A$AP Rocky, Tame Impala and, most importantly, his late friend Mac Miller. Thundercat joins Q guest host Ali Hassan to talk about a song he and Mac recorded together before Mac's death in 2018, the memories attached to it, and why he felt the time was finally right to share it with the world.

In this episode we get into the nuts and bolts of the songwriting process with Bobby Tomberlin and the business realities behind a hit. Bobby also shares what it feels like when a song flips your career overnight, from struggling for appointments to Grammy nominations, and how listeners' letters and emails can hit harder than any award.Then the story turns heavier and more human. Bobby talks about the song's second life after 9/11, why keeping the lyric universal was a blessing, and how “One More Day” became a tool for healing at memorial services and in private grief. We also talk about his memoir I've Lived Country Music and the advice he'd give his younger self: don't let chart positions become your god, and measure success by the life you get to live.If this conversation moves you, subscribe, share it with a friend who loves country songwriting, and leave a review wherever you listen.

A debut single is never just a song. It's ten years of drafts, late-night voice memos, and learning how to trust your own taste long enough to hit release.We sit down with Tennessee pop rock recording artist Ivy Leighton to unpack the real work behind her first official drop, “Good Girl,” out September 1st, 2026. Ivy shares the moment she got serious about songwriting at 14, the mix of influences that shaped her sound (Taylor Swift, Coldplay, Paramore, Wet Leg, Radiohead), and why she keeps coming back to angry, dramatic lyrics even when she tries to write something happy. She also gets specific about craft: starting with guitar or piano chords, finding lyrics through “gibberish” melodies, pulling one-liners from her Notes app, and turning a root feeling into a fictional story that still hits hard.Then we go deep on music production and recording. Ivy walks us through capturing ideas on iPhone Voice Memos, tracking with a full band at a studio in Dunlap, Tennessee, and building vocal harmonies by experimenting in GarageBand on her phone before stepping up to the mic. We also talk mixing with nine-time Grammy winner Bob Bullock and what it feels like to hear your music come back with real punch for the first time.After the livestream, we share a major update: Jay Franze officially steps in to manage Ivy, setting the stage for bigger shows, smarter career moves, and a long release runway.

Plus: her complicated relationship with antidepressants, weathering fertility struggles, and aging in public. Sara Bareilles joins Dan to discuss her new album Good Grief, a record she made after losing three close friends — Chad Joseph, Gavin Creel, and poet Andrea Gibson. The conversation covers grief as a transformative force, medication and mental health, fertility struggles and miscarriage, the creative process as spiritual transmission, aging without intervention, and patriotism as grief.  In this episode we talk about: Grief is a shortcut to the truth — it strips away distraction and forces presence "Name it to tame it" — putting feelings into words reduces their power Sara's fear that medication would suppress her artistry turned out to be the opposite: Lexapro felt like "a return to herself" The creative process as clearing a channel rather than owning the output — music arrives, it isn't manufactured "Nothing to fix" — acceptance as a countercultural act in an era of optimization Acceptance isn't resignation — you can surrender to what is and still take compassionate action Grief of country: loving America and mourning what it's becoming aren't mutually exclusive Social media distorts your experience of reality — have your experience of the world in the world Sara Bareilles is a two-time Grammy winner and Tony-nominated composer whose music and lyrics powered the Broadway hit Waitress — a role she later performed herself, both on Broadway and in London's West End.

On The Daily Mastermind, George Wright III welcomes Grammy and five-time Tony Award-winning producer Sue Gilad for a look at what Broadway can teach entrepreneurs about turning ideas into reality. Gilad explains how growing up as a theater kid led her to producing, why strong partners should cover the skills you lack, and why a pitch only works when the project is truly in your heart and soul. She shares how out-of-town tryouts and candid audience reactions guide creative decisions, why live theater may be an antidote to AI, and how 399 rejections can lead to one yes. Gilad also breaks down the business side of art, the long-term potential of a show, and the daily question that helps her delegate: What can only we do?

"You don't ever need to get up there and feel like, I got this." That's DOE Jones on leading worship, and she means it as a good thing. She grew up a pastor's kid, earned Grammy nominations with her family group Forever Jones, spent 12 years in youth ministry, and just made a record called Shiloh with three generations of her family on it. In this conversation she unpacks what she calls posturing yourself like a landing strip: the space between having prepared hard and still asking God mid-set if he wants to change direction, while the click is in your ear and your MD is cracking jokes. She also names the thing most of us won't say out loud, that quiet pull to build a worship culture where everyone looks and thinks like you. And she asks who picked up the baton Israel Houghton left, plus how to tell real cultural bridge-building from borrowing a sound because it's popular right now. Preparation is what buys you the freedom to actually listen mid-song.

Taylor's Grammy performance and hour-long interview had me completely gagged — the mashup, the vocals, the way she addressed the Showgirl backlash without ever naming it. I'm breaking it all down. This episode is also a chance to talk about what Dolly Parton's legacy has meant to my family, beyond the music. Plus some thoughts on a rough week in brand marketing and the news on Harry and Meghan.

American Idol Top 3 finalist and three-time Grammy nominee Danny Gokey joins nine-time Emmy winner David Sams back at the Contagious Influencers of America studio for a heart-to-heart that goes far beyond the music. Recorded just ahead of the release of his album "Sound of Heaven," Danny dives into the Latin culture that shaped his sound, the power of choice in overcoming hard seasons, and the growth of his non-profit "Better Than I Found It," which has rehabilitated homeless shelters and rebuilt lives across the country. He also shares a tender tribute to his friend and fellow Idol alum Mandisa, reflecting on the legacy she left behind. Since this conversation, Gokey has signed with Jay DeMarcus's Red Street Records and released his second single of the year, "Jesus Over Everything" — a song born from the same conviction he talks about in this very interview: that the highs and lows of life only make sense when Jesus is at the center. Revisit this conversation to hear where that conviction started. This episode first aired in July 2024. #dannygokey #jesusovereverything #soundofheaven #redstreetrecords #keepthefaith #davidsams #contagiousinfluencers  

On this week's Talkhouse Podcast, we've got a pair of fantastic music makers who also happen to be… women in music. That's their joke, not mine—you'll hear. It's Johanna Samuels and Madison Cunningham. Though she's from New York, Johanna Samuels' music has always had West Coast vibes—it makes perfect sense that she now calls Los Angeles home. Her latest album, Sorry, Kid, just came out, and it's got an interesting backstory: The songs were written years ago but never finished, and there were false starts making them work this time around. But she found a great collaborator in Jonathan Rado—you'll hear her refer to “Rado” a bunch in this chat—and finally broke through to a stunning set of mellow, downcast songs. You'll hear the influence of Aimee Mann, Tom Petty, Elliott Smith—if those are your thing, give it a close listen.  The other half of today's conversation, Madison Cunningham, plays a little bit on Samuels' record. The two are old friends, and you may have heard Cunningham in a variety of disparate places over the years: She played with Andrew Bird, and the two covered the lone Buckingham-Nicks album together. She's toured with big names, including Harry Styles. Her 2022 album, Revealer, won the Grammy for Best Folk Album. Cunningham's third album, Ace, was released late last year, and it's a winning left turn—less guitar, more piano, a little weirder than ever before. Check out the Samuels' track “Rare,” which features some playing and singing from Cunningham. This episode was recorded with our guests in the same room, and you can hear the friendly energy these two have. They joke around about being “women in music” as well as the long road to Samuels' album, Fiona Apple, Tom Petty, and much, much more. I hope you enjoy listening as much as they did recording.

This episode of The Other Side of the Bell, featuring trumpet performer, band leader and recording artist James Davison, is brought to you by Bob Reeves Brass. This episode also appears as a video episode on our YouTube channel, you can find it here: "James Davison Trumpet Interview" And, find the expanded show notes, transcript and more photos here --- James Davison had a misconception that trumpeters should only have one mouthpiece, that any professional should be able to do everything with only one, and if you used more you were "cheating." It was Chris Deacon in fact who finally asked him one day, in a moment of struggle, " Why don't you just try a slightly narrower mouthpiece?" From there, a whole new world opened up. Jim was already well on a path to building a career in music, having become enraptured by the trumpet and cornet as a child, playing Dixieland jazz with his father and learning to play by ear, and then studying at the Guildhall School of Music and Drama and the Royal Academy of Music. But sometimes, we just need a little kick, a new perspective from an outside source, to shift our understanding and mindset. Since that crossroads, Jim has gone on to become a regular player in the British music scene, from musicals and big bands to studio sessions film soundtracks. Earlier this year, Jim released his long-awaited trumpet & bass collaboration with Misha Mullov-Abbado, "Moon Beans," a mix of original compositions and collaborative arrangements.
