Since we're on spring break from releasing Thirst episodes, please enjoy this episode of our companion podcast, "Wet Hot American Doomsday," normally reserved for Supercast and Patreon supporters only! We talked with Joshua Ilon (Dennis Cruz) about the events of Thirst episode 4, "Duck!", as well as reality TV, a subject near and dear to his heart. This is just a taste of what you'll find at The Penumbra: SPECIAL EDITION, which you can subscribe to on Supercast or Patreon. Please consider subscribing if you can--since times are tough for everyone, we've lost a lot of financial support and we're really teetering on the edge of being able to continue making the show. Indie art needs your help to survive! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

This week, we're going deep into the Ongoing History of New Music vault to talk about "Definitions". Often in the music world, we hear terms discussed...but where did they come from, and what do they mean? What do "New Rock" and "Alternative" mean? What's a "Major Label" or "Indie"? "Boutique" and "Vanity"? Got that covered too. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Indie bookstore owner Nikkya joins Anne today to talk about the pain points in her reading life. Nikkya reads widely for her work as owner of Obodo Serendipity Books in Stratford, Connecticut. She is most at home as a reader in her go-to nonfiction spaces, where she knows what she likes and is able to find it. After having a real aha moment six months ago, Nikkya has been trying to strike a delicate balance between her professional reading and reading for pleasure. And it's only going okay. She's especially feeling the friction of seeking to push into genres she's less familiar with, like historical fiction, romance, and mysteries and thrillers. Today she and Anne explore what successful branching out might look like, with specific title recommendations that may feel like doable, pleasurable steps in a new direction. Find the list of titles mentioned and leave a comment sharing your suggestions for Nikkya at our show notes page at whatshouldireadnextpodcast.com/518.

Strap in B-siders.  Christmas Bloodbath is a frustratingly wild ride.  It does take place during Christmas, and there is a bath, but there is not a lot of blood. We dive into this earnest effort Indie film that gives us puppets, obscure plot devices, endless narration, and a whole lot of stuff that just does not make sense. There are some positive points to be made, but overall seeing this more than once is a labor. We clocked in two and a half views, which is more than enough for a lifetime. Lessons, laughs, and more lessons. Support the Podcast Visit our website

SOS 250a: A Conversation with David Gedge of The Wedding Present and Cinerama Previewing His Upcoming Tour and Our Epic Deep Dive into his Many Songwriting Eras And yes, the episode title is needlessly long in tribute to the early days of David Gedge giving songs ridiculously long titles.  Anyway, Paul Kelly of the great Indie band, The Martial Arts, and Rudy were just minding their own business recording their thoughts on David Gedge for a series of episodes about his great and varied songwriting when SOS friend Patrick Tape Fleming of the greatest Indie bands Poison Control Center and Gloom Balloon arranged for Paul and Rudy to talk to Gedge himself. Naturally, this was not an opportunity two fanboys could not resist.  This discussion centers mostly on The Weddoe's “Seamonsters”, since Gedge will be touring the US and Europe to celebrate that release's *gulp* 35th anniversary. Think of this episode as a special preview of the proper “David Gedge Series” that starts next month, and motivation to get tickets to go see The Wedding Present perform “Seamonsters” in its beautiful entirety along with many more TWP classics.  To see where The Wedding Present is playing and how to get tickets, visit: https://www.scopitones.co.uk/forthcomingconcerts Paul Kelly is the artist behind the excellent indie band The Martial Arts.

In this episode of the Family Brand Podcast, Melissa sits down with a very special guest—her nine-year-old daughter, Indie—to do something the Smith family does every single week: a family check-in. Instead of just talking about the concept, they actually walk through a real check-in live on the podcast, giving listeners a behind-the-scenes look at how these simple conversations help their family stay connected and intentional. The Smith family has a weekly rhythm where they gather for a short family meeting and individual check-ins with each child. The goal isn't to lecture or correct behavior—it's simply to connect. During these conversations, they ask a few consistent questions: What's important to you this week? How can we support you? What goals do you want to set in different areas of your life? By creating space for these conversations regularly, it helps each child feel seen, supported, and understood. In the episode, Indie shares what matters most to her right now—things like riding her horse Stella, skateboarding outside, and planning time with friends. She also sets a few small goals for the week across four areas the family focuses on: spiritual, intellectual, physical, and social. These goals don't have to be complicated. Sometimes they're as simple as working on a church talk, learning more about national parks for homeschool, doing a short workout, or planning a get-together with friends. The point isn't perfection—it's helping kids build awareness and intention around how they spend their time. Melissa also explains that these check-ins often include a small weekly challenge and, of course, something fun like a treat or snack. Over time, the routine has helped their kids open up about what's happening in their lives. Because the conversation happens consistently each week, the kids know they have a safe place to talk about goals, struggles, and ideas they're thinking about. As Indie puts it simply, check-ins help the week feel less chaotic. Instead of just reacting to whatever happens, the family gets a chance to pause, get clear about what matters, and support each other. And sometimes the most important outcome isn't the goals themselves—it's the reminder that everyone in the family has a voice and someone who cares about what's important to them.   LINKS: All Links Family Brand!  stan.store/familybrand familybrand.com/quiz familybrand.com/retreats.   Links For This Episode: Family Meeting Playbook: http://familybrand.com/meeting  Episode Minute By Minute: 00:00 – Introducing today's special guest: Indie 01:05 – Meet Indie: homeschool, horses, and being the youngest 02:10 – How this podcast episode came together 02:45 – What family check-ins are and why the Smith family does them 03:40 – Where to download the Family Brand meeting guide 04:10 – Creating a relaxed environment for check-ins (beds, snacks, candy) 06:20 – Question #1: What's important to you this week? 07:10 – Writing down what matters and tracking it as parents 07:45 – Question #2: How can we support you this week? 08:35 – Setting weekly goals in four areas of life 08:50 – Spiritual goal example (church talk) 09:20 – Intellectual goal example (learning about national parks) 09:55 – Physical goal example (workouts and staying active) 11:05 – Social goal example (spending time with friends) 11:50 – The weekly challenge and why it matters 13:10 – Examples of past challenges with kids 14:15 – More examples of goals kids can set 16:10 – Why check-ins bring clarity to the week 17:10 – Following through on what kids say is important 18:20 – Using check-ins to support kids' goals 19:00 – Indie's biggest advice: always include a treat 19:40 – Why consistency makes check-ins easier over time 20:20 – Kids opening up about bigger challenges 21:10 – Funny examples from older siblings' check-ins 22:00 – Final encouragement to try check-ins with your family

Und zwar gleich im doppelten Sinne: Blakes siebtes Album «Trying Times» ist sein erstes, das er auf eigene Faust veröffentlicht – ohne Majorlabel im Rücken. Und auch musikalisch streckt es, trotz einem Featuring von UK-Rapstar Dave, seine Fühler mehr Richtung klassischem Singer-/Songwriter-tum aus.

With a little help from Oscar-nominated Hollywood movies like "Sinners" and "One Battle After Another" new fans are flocking to theaters with reel-to-reel projectors.

“Jim, do you know where I can find Michael Scott?" “Oh, I totally don't know where Michael is, dude. Hey, you want to listen to some records?" On this week's episode, Alex and Edwin dive into the early seasons of The Office and the parallels with Indie music culture of the same era. We talk about the bands, episodes, and Office moments that make up that era, and how some of that context feels forgotten since The Office became so popular after those early seasons. We also talk about some of the music featured in the show and how it feels to look back on other musical eras from the 2026 vantage point.

Brim, Kim and Mr. Greer are back at it again. Apart from all the usual shenanigans, the gang chats about everything in pop culture with all the trimmings as they discuss the new Indie video game ‘Karen' where you play as a Karen and destroy a mall, how the new Bride movie by Maggie Gyllenhaal was actually pretty good, Oscars chatter, and Kim spoils Bridgerton for whoever hasn't seen the remainder of the current season. The crew also chats about YouTube, its humble beginnings under a different name, and how Google bought them out in their second year. The cast talks about the passing of Jennifer Runyon (Charles in Charge), Alexa or Google, the birth of Mattel, and the burger company CEO's all hop on the trend of eating their own burgers on the internet. They talk about the hot water Timothee Chalamet has gotten himself into, why Girl Scouts were not allowed to sell in front of a weed dispensary, the Cap'n Crunch whistle that innocently hacked payphones. The crew also discusses the Brady Bunch house becoming a historic landmark, why Whoopi Goldberg fainted on The View, the Ace Ventura rhino on sale, and special clauses written in celeb contracts. The crew chats about entertainment news, opinions and other cool stuff and things. Enjoy.Wherever you listen to podcasts & www.thegrindhouseradio.comhttps://linktr.ee/thegrindhouseradio

​​So you've landed your first sponsor. Now you start thinking… What do they actually want to see from you? Downloads? Listener behavior? Something else entirely? Today, we're opening the mailbag to tackle a question from one of our very own cohosts, Sid, who wondered what kind of analytics sponsors really care about and how podcasters should present that information to keep the relationship strong. Do downloads matter as much as we think they do? What metrics actually tell the story of your audience? And do sponsors even care about the same numbers podcasters obsess over? We explore what sponsors may want to learn from podcast analytics, what data might be useful to share, and how creators can think about reporting in a way that supports a long-term partnership. We also briefly touch on another question… is there really a difference between a DIY podcaster and an indie podcaster, or is it mostly semantics?Episode Highlights: [02:54] Indie vs. DIY podcasting debate[06:43] What sponsors actually want in analytics reports[13:44] Trackable links, promo codes, and proving ROI[25:35] AI tools for generating editable slide decks[29:47] Apple versus host analytics mismatchLinks & Resources: The Podcasting Morning Chat: www.podpage.com/pmcJoin The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcasting⁠Book A Free Call With Me: https://calendly.com/ironickmedia/freestrategycallJoin The Empowered Podcasting Facebook Group:www.facebook.com/groups/empoweredpodcasting⁠Application To Submit Your Show For Evaluation: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSc8-Xv6O6lrNPcPJwj3N0Z5Osdl-5kHGz_PiAU45U57S-XgoA/viewform?usp=headerBuzzSprout Analytics: https://www.buzzsprout.com/blog/apple-podcasts-analyticsOP3: https://op3.dev/Podpage: https://www.podpage.com/?via=ironickmediaRemember to rate, follow, share, and review our podcast.

Sophie Ellis-Bextor knows how to fill a dancefloor. Across 8 albums, and a double indemnity hit in "Murder on the Dancefloor", she's made a name for herself as a pop-disco queen. When she's not on stage or in a recording studio, Sophie is throwing a kitchen disco, hosting her Spinning Plates podcast, and publishing books.Sophie's latest album Perimenopop takes stock of where she is today. The lessons learned, the way love evolves, and the place she finds herself.

The debut album from Bloc Party remains a seminal record of a key time in UK guitar music. Niall is joined by author and writer Dean Van Nguyen discuss the record in front of a live audience at Listen Closely, our series of monthly album listening parties. Bloc Party – Silent Alarm (2005) Bloc Party's debut album quickly became a seminal indie record of the 2000s with big frenetic indie zeitgeist hits like ‘Helicopter', ‘Banquet', ‘This Modern Love' and ‘Like Eating Glass'. Silent Alarm presented a poppy spin on taut post-punk, edgy pop and alternative ballads, with Kele Okereke's lyrical explorations of matters of the heart, modern anxieties, intimacy and alienation. Silent Alarm felt like a manifesto. It bridged rock and dance culture before LCD Soundsystem and others made that fusion mainstream. We discuss its beginnings, its impact, what came after for the band and some recommended further listening. We revisit the record in The Big Romance with a live audience. Dean's book about Tupac is recommended.    * Support Nialler9 on Patreon, get event discounts, playlists, ad-free episodes and join our Discord community Listen on Apple | Android  | Patreon | Pocketcasts | CastBox | Stitcher | Spotify | RSS Feed | Pod.Link

Most people who end up in VFX spent years obsessing over frames and film. Ryan Kelsey spent 13 years in telecom in Cincinnati, selling fiber and managed IT services, before stumbling into an industry where studios win Oscars and go bankrupt in the same month. That collision of worlds turns out to be exactly the perspective the business needs right now. Ryan is VP of Sales at Center Grid Virtual Studio, and his outsider's eye cuts through a lot of the noise around cloud infrastructure for creative studios. Why are small VFX shops still running overheating GPU racks in their back offices? Why does a freelancer getting a big render job have nowhere obvious to turn? Why does everyone talk about AI compute without knowing what they're actually doing with it? This conversation, recorded live at the HPA (Hollywood Professional Association) Tech Retreat, ranges from the broken economics of fixed-bid VFX work to what a genuinely boutique cloud partner looks like compared to the AWS-sized behemoths, to Chris's teenage son dragging his friends to see Chainsaw Man while the industry insists nobody goes to the movies anymore.

El episodio 110 llegó con todo.Arrancamos con las mega rondas de funding que sacudieron a Latinoamérica: Pomelo, Wallah, Kavak y Tappi levantaron cientos de millones, pero no todas las noticias son buenas. Merama y BetterFly, dos unicornios que prometían revolucionar la región, enfrentan una realidad muy diferente a la que vendieron.Después nos metemos en el expediente más explosivo del momento: los Epstein Files. Más de 3 millones de documentos que conectan al misterioso financiero con Bill Gates, Bill Clinton, Reid Hoffman y el corazón de Silicon Valley. Una historia que sigue dando nuevas revelaciones cada día.También hablamos de Jack Dorsey, el cofundador de Twitter, que tomó una decisión radical: despedir al 50% de los empleados de Block (Square), argumentando que la IA los hace más productivos. El detalle irónico: semanas antes había gastado $50 millones en una fiesta corporativa.Cerramos con el dominio AI.com vendido en $70 millones, Stripe midiendo qué porcentaje del PBI mundial pasa por su plataforma, y una lección brillante del libro Skunkworks sobre por qué las mejores innovaciones no nacen de ideas nuevas sino de ejecutar lo que ya existe.__
