"You're not allowed to say that." Those four words changed everything for Joshua David "JoDavi" Washington, Director of the Institute for Black Solidarity with Israel (IBSI) and world-touring recording artist. Sharing what he thought were just "fun experiences" about Israel with college friends, Josh watched conversations shut down cold: "It went from 'I disagree with you' to 'you're not allowed to say that.' And that would rub me the wrong way,” he explains, “what do you mean I can't say that?"Now he's built an entire ecosystem of artists who've found a space to share unpopular opinions expressed through music. Josh argues that free speech "protects speech that's not popular," and that artists' jobs are "to hold a mirror to society.” Unfortunately, much of today's creative class seems to just practice mass virtue signaling —the opposite of icons like James Brown, who "had the integrity to stand on their convictions."Josh's recent album Zion tackles everything from the Masada defenders' last battle against Rome to abortion's impact on the Black community—controversial topics that will get pushback when he posts about them online, but that audiences love in song form.Music, he explains, "can't be translated to a tweet"—it's a richer medium, one that reaches people differently. Josh's advice for artists afraid to speak up? "There are a lot more of us who are like-minded than you would think. We just think we're so small in number, and I don't think we are."Learn more about Josh's work with IBSI at: https://ibsi.org/
Hosts Dion Dove and Troy Pinckney walk us through the halls of Hip-Hop.
A single Psalm can feel like it was written for the headlines. We start with Psalm 54 and its urgent cry, “Rescue me,” then connect that prayer to the real-world weight of violence and the need for God's protection in our homes and communities. I also take time to pray for you and your family, for our military, police, firefighters, EMS, and for leaders in the pulpit and in government, because faith has to show up in what we ask for and what we do next.From there we move into straightforward biblical teaching on marriage and family from Colossians 3:18–21. It's not trendy, and it's not designed to win applause, but it is designed to build a stable home. If you care about Christian marriage, raising kids with courage, and bringing your daily life under the lordship of Jesus Christ, this portion is meant to be practical and clarifying.Then we read Mark 15 all the way through the trial, Barabbas, the crowd's demand, the crucifixion, and the burial of Jesus. Along the way, I stop and ask what envy and mob pressure look like in modern life, and why the cross still confronts us with the cost of sin and the meaning of mercy. We also return to Psalm 54 and Proverbs 11, then shift into remembrance of September 11, honoring sacrifice through a Medal of Honor citation, and reading John Adams on religion, virtue, and the foundations of freedom.If this encourages you, subscribe, share the show with someone you love, and leave a review so more people can find it.#JohnAdams#DailyScripture#VirtueSupport the showThe American Soul Podcasthttps://www.buzzsprout.com/1791934/subscribe Countryside Book Series https://www.amazon.com/Countryside-Book-J-T-Cope-IV-ebook/dp/B00MPIXOB2

Music that makes you feel deeply human… There's a version of events where Joshua Idehen is still behind a bar in the West End, coming home late, flicking through channels. But then came Dizzee Rascal on Channel U – that first-person rant, that stream of consciousness pouring into the void – and something locked into place. Nearly two decades later, the British-born Nigerian poet and spoken-word artist, now based in Stockholm, has signed to Heavenly Recordings and released one of the more quietly essential debut albums of 2026. I Know You're Hurting, Everyone Is Hurting, Everyone Is Trying, You Have Got To Try is out now. Made with his long-term creative partner Ludvig Parment (Saturday, Monday), it's the full realisation of something that's been building since the pair's 2023 mixtape Learn to Swim — a record that holds you through it all: grief, euphoria, fatherhood, friendship, the liturgic pull of a club at the right moment. House beats, choral swells, Shabaka Hutchings on flute, a choir singing a melody Idehen himself composed. The kind of album that makes you want to wave your arms in the air and then call your mum. The ride here wasn't quiet. ‘Mum Does The Washing' began life as a Twitter thread, set to Parment's spacious beats, went viral, earned Idehen support from Jamz Supernova, Huw Stephens and Robbie Williams (yes, really), packed out Glastonbury and Green Man, and landed him a spot on Later… with Jools Holland. Sold-out Jazz Café dates followed. A headline European and UK tour runs through spring, culminating at KOKO in London on 23rd April. To mark the album, Joshua and Ludvig have put together this mix of music to bring joy. Not one shade of it either. There's unbridled joy (Peter, Björn & John, a Kanye recommendation from a different time), celebratory joy (“a today I don't have to fight kind of joy,” as Ludvig puts it, via Primal Scream), defiant joy (Kendrick, for the days you will have to fight, but you'll pull through). Soul II Soul shows up to preach and repeat. James Brown is just kind of everything. Caribou injects the dance floor with melancholy and joy at the same time, which is basically the whole project in a nutshell. And somewhere near the end, a Mesadorm song that made Joshua cry on first listen, second listen, third listen. Music that makes you feel deeply human, as you've never felt before. Over to them. https://www.theransomnote.com/music/mixes/joshua-idehens-music-to-make-joy-to-ransom-note-mix/

Nano Banana 2 is Google's best image model yet and it just dropped. It's cheaper, it's smarter, and it removed an Adidas logo from a banana in a tracksuit on the first try. But we have notes. The Door Brothers and Logan Paul made a 15-minute AI movie with Seedance 2.0 that looks like a direct-to-video action film…KIND OF. Meanwhile Seedance 2.0 is now live in CapCut, Anthropic is in a standoff with the Secretary of War over a $200M defense contract, and a sketchy music site called Sonato is generating perfect James Brown and Nirvana tracks from text prompts. Using that, Kevin vibe coded a custom AI Spotify mash-up that looks like an iPod. During the show. While apologizing. Plus we built a whole new AI For Humans website from scratch with Claude Code, the stock market crashed because of an AI memo, and Deep Seek V4 might drop any minute now. Totally normal week.

Hey Midnighters,Episode 195 is here, and this one hits with pure drive from the very first kick. I built this week's journey around control, tension, and release, that feeling when the groove locks in and you forget everything else around you. Whether you tuned in on Wednesday at 6 AM CET or caught it later on DI.FM with 60,000 global listeners, you know this one was made to move.We open strong with Serioes, Legendaer, and Little Duracell's Take Control (Return Fall Extended Remix), setting the tone with a deep but commanding pulse. Patrick Scuro, The Post Brothers, and The Enveloper keep the pressure high with Oldschool, while Zafer Atabey's Unrest on EXTIMA brings that hypnotic tension I love to play with early in the set.Crossbow and GIULIA (IT) take us inward with Someone in the Mirror before YellowHeads unleash Monochrome Dreams in Peak Mode, a serious moment on the dancefloor. Then UMEK drops Kappa One… and you already know that means business.Mid-set, Salkantay's Cross The Line and Nicolas Hoop with BCT's Mental Focus push the groove into overdrive. Victor Ruiz and HNGT's A New Day on 1001 Recordings lifts the energy beautifully, and Layton Giordani with Camden Cox on Destiny adds that emotional edge that keeps things human inside the machine.The final stretch is where it gets special. Victor Ruiz and Moreira's Every Day Arcane flows into Liberthorn's Digital Dissociative, and then we flip it. L.A. Style's James Brown is Dead in UMEK's bootleg form is a nod to the roots, reimagined for now. Annie Hill closes Episode 195 with Legacy, and that title says it all.This show is about pushing forward while respecting where we came from. New names, established legends, exclusive heat, all in one uninterrupted ride.Midnighters, dive into the full tracklist and relive every transition here:
Su sonido fusiona el pop y electropop más fresco con el groove arrollador del funk y el soul, logrando un estilo propio con identidad muy marcada. Entre sus influencias destacan desde clásicos como Stevie Wonder, James Brown, Bill Withers y Michael Jackson, hasta referentes contemporáneos como Jamiroquai, Daft Punk, Parcels, Bruno Mars y Silk Sonic. En su nuevo EP, Free To Love, incorporan una mayor presencia de elementos electrónicos, anticipando la dirección sonora hacia la que se orienta la banda: un sonido más sintético, moderno y bailable, sin perder la esencia cálida y orgánica que los caracteriza. En directo, completan el sexteto batería, bajo, teclado y saxo, dando forma a una propuesta tan enérgica como elegante.Escuchar audio
James Brown and John Butler talk about the 15th District playoffs. They also talk college basketball, and more.
For our february episode we finally complete the 70s by discussing our favourite songs of 1974! You can expect lots of prog, much more krautrock than expected (particularly from Tracey), some funk classics, sparkly glam bangers, and most of the members of The Byrds.We've each chosen our 10 favourite songs of the year and sent them over to Colin's wife Helen, who put the playlists together and distributed them so we were each given a playlist of the 20 songs from the other two hosts, along with our own 10. We then ranked the playlists in order of preference and sent them back to Helen, who totalled up the points and worked out the order. She also joined us on the episode to read out the countdown, which we found out as we recorded so all reactions are genuine.Now, admittedly, in parts we're a little bit brutal to some of the songs in the list as we're three separate people with differing music tastes, but please remember that to be in this episode at all the songs have to have been in one of our top 10's of that year.Bands featured in this episode include (In alphabetical order, no spoilers here!) - Kevin Ayers, Big Star, David Bowie, James Brown, Captain Beefheart & The Magic Band, Gene Clark, Cluster, Deep Purple, Brian Eno, Focus, Fred Frith, Harmonia, Keith Hudson, King Crimson, Kiss, Kraftwerk, Lynyrd Skynyrd, Curtis Mayfield, Roger McGuinn, Mike Oldfield, Parliament, Gram Parsons, Pilot, Queen, Roxy Music, The Sensational Alex Harvey Band, Sparks, Steely Dan, Tangerine Dream, & Rick Wakeman.Find all songs in alphabetical order here - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5DIrU8fLeTxerh4wHJTWDq?si=6e2bfca9066b44e2Find our We Dig Music Pollwinners Party playlist (featuring all of the winning songs up until now) here - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/45zfDHo8zm6VqrvoEQSt3z?si=Ivt0oMj6SmitimvumYfFrQIf you want to listen to megalength playlists of all the songs we've individually picked since we started doing best of the year episodes (which need updating but I plan on doing them over the next few months or so), you can listen to Colin's here – https://open.spotify.com/playlist/5x3Vy5Jry2IxG9JNOtabRT?si=HhcVKRCtRhWCK1KucyrDdgIan's here - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2H0hnxe6WX50QNQdlfRH5T?si=XmEjnRqISNqDwi30p1uLqAand Tracey's here - https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2p3K0n8dKhjHb2nKBSYnKi?si=7a-cyDvSSuugdV1m5md9NwThe playlist of 20 songs from the other two hosts was scored as usual, our favourite song got 20 points, counting down incrementally to our least favourite which got 1 point. The scoring of our own list of 10 is now slightly more complicated in order to give a truer level of points to our own favourites. So rather than them only being able to score as many points as our 10th favourite in the other list, the points in our own list were distributed as follows -1st place - 20 points2nd place - 18 points3rd place – 16 points4th place – 14 points5th place – 12 points6th place – 9 points7th place – 7 points8th place – 5 points9th place – 3 points10th place -1 pointHosts - Ian Clarke, Colin Jackson-Brown & Tracey BGuest starring Helen Jackson-Brown.Playlist compiling/distributing – Helen Jackson-BrownRecorded/Edited/Mixed/Original Music by Colin Jackson-Brown for We Dig PodcastsThanks to Peter Latimer for help with the scoring system.Part of the We Dig Podcasts network along with Free With This Months Issue & Pick A Disc.Bluesky - https://bsky.app/profile/wedigmusic.bsky.socialInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/wedigmusicpcast/Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/wedigpusicpcast/Find our other episodes & podcasts at www.wedigpodcasts.com

Before there was the "Experience," there was Lithofayne. Lithofayne Pridgon wasn't just a muse; she was the Queen of Harlem who gave a struggling Jimi Hendrix a place to live, a connection to the music scene, and the inspiration for "Foxey Lady."In this bonus episode of Behind The Song, dig into the story of the mysterious woman who stood toe-to-toe with James Brown, managed the chaos of Sly Stone, and was so punk-rock she refused to release her own Atlantic Records album because it wasn't "perfect" enough.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Two-time Emmy and Three-time NAACP Image Award-winning, television Executive Producer Rushion McDonald interviewed Brian Custer. Summary of the Interview On Money Making Conversations Masterclass, Rushion McDonald interviews Brian Custer—Emmy Award–winning sportscaster, ESPN anchor, play-by-play commentator, cancer survivor, fashion enthusiast, and HBCU graduate of Hampton University. The discussion moves through Custer’s early life in Columbus, Ohio; the influence of Black media figures on his career; his journey from a childhood dreamer sitting beside his grandmother watching Walter Cronkite to becoming a nationally recognized sports broadcaster; and his path into fraternity life as a member of Kappa Alpha Psi. Custer describes how he discovered broadcasting at an early age, secured internships in high school, and worked grueling night shifts in radio before transitioning into television. But the most powerful portion of the interview is his emotional recounting of his battle with aggressive prostate cancer at age 42—a diagnosis he initially wanted to hide. He shares the moment his doctor insisted he use his platform to educate men of color about prostate cancer, a mission he now treats as a calling. The interview ends with sports talk—including commentary on the Gervonta “Tank” Davis vs. Ryan Garcia fight—and a heartfelt exchange about mentorship, legacy, and the importance of Black excellence and representation in media.

To highlight the impact of HBCUs and Black fraternities He explains how Hampton University and Kappa Alpha Psi shaped his identity and leadership. 5. To celebrate representation in sports media Custer honors trailblazers like Irv Cross, James Brown, and Carol Simpson, showing how visibility opened doors. Key Takeaways 1. Early exposure builds dreams Watching Walter Cronkite, Friday Night Videos, and Ted Koppel developed his passion for broadcasting.His grandmother’s nightly viewing rituals deeply influenced him. 2. Representation matters Seeing Irv Cross, James Brown, and Carol Simpson on television affirmed his ambition and provided powerful role models. 3. Hard work—not shortcuts—built his career Custer’s first job was midnight–8 a.m. radio, reading hourly newscasts.He later interned and volunteered long after programs ended to gain experience. 4. Prostate cancer is a silent but deadly threat His routine physical revealed a suspicious PSA level (5.4), leading to a biopsy and an aggressive cancer diagnosis.He initially refused repeat screenings due to stigma but credits his doctor’s persistence with saving his life. 5. Using his platform for good became a mandate His surgeon urged him to become an advocate for prostate cancer awareness—particularly for Black men, who are disproportionately affected. 6. Vulnerability creates connection Custer’s openness about fear, masculinity, and mortality mirrors Rushion’s own thyroid cancer journey, creating an intimate, healing conversation. 7. Career longevity requires authenticity and relationship-building Custer praises mentors like James Brown and the brotherhood of Black media professionals.He underscores the importance of connections—not shortcuts—in building a respected brand.

It’s aggressive.” “All I heard was cancer.” “My doctor said, ‘Use your platform… men of color need a young face like you.’” On stigma and survival “People stereotype what a cancer survivor looks like.” “Cancer doesn’t go away when you ignore it.” On sports and life (On Garcia vs. Tank Davis):“That liver shot… it was a business decision.

Nestled between Ghana, Burkina Faso, Niger, and Nigeria, Benin is a rich sliver of West Africa too often overlooked. This program puts Afropop's spotlight on Benin, starting with the country's favorite daughter. International star Angelique Kidjo looks back on her musical education in the Benin capital, Cotonou, as she walks us through the songs on her album Oyo, which spans covers of songs by James Brown, Aretha Franklin, Miriam Makeba, and Benin's own Bella Bellow. We meet the 70s "vodoun funk" band Orchestre Poly-Rythmo, who are still going strong, and recently made their belated US debut. We move forward to present a chat with Lionel Loueke, a Beninois guitarist who has moved on to become one of the most original voices in contemporary American jazz. The program ends with a remembrance of the brilliant Malian guitarist and singer Lobi Traore. APWW PGM #594 Originally aired in 2010
President Trump has been in office for one full year, and while he has accomplished many phenomenal things, his DOJ has left a lot to be desired. Glenn makes the case for why it's time for Attorney General Pam Bondi to be replaced by listing everything the DOJ has failed to deliver on, including the fumbling of the Jeffrey Epstein case and the lack of prosecutions against those involved in COVID. Glenn also makes the case for why the DOJ may be taking its time in bringing prosecutions against the Deep State. Peter Schweizer, author of “The Invisible Coup,” released today, joins to discuss how radical Islamists and the far Left united to "fight America everywhere and all the time." Glenn and Peter discuss how America can survive when immigration goes unchecked. Glenn breaks down one of the most strategic military bases in the world, Diego Garcia, because of its proximity to major foreign players. Montana Auditor James Brown joins to expose a major Obamacare fraud scheme that is costing the state millions of dollars. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Musician, comedian, actor and composer Paul Shaffer was heavily influenced by the musical (and comedy) acts he grew up watching on “The Ed Sullivan Show,” so it was only fitting that we interviewed him in the “Ed Sullivan Room” of the famed New York Friars Club. Not many people can say they worked with James Brown, John Belushi, Sammy Davis, Jr., Jerry Lewis, Brian Wilson, Mickey Rooney AND the infamous Phil Spector, but Paul has — and he shares memorable anecdotes about every one of them. Also, Gilbert and Paul discuss their mutual obsession with a certain Cindy Crawford/Valerie Bertinelli infomercial. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
