Buddies! I'm back with another interview on Vinyl Community Podcasts, this time speaking with Richard Foos—the influential founder behind Rhino Entertainment and co-founder of Shout! Studios. Sometimes referred to as the "Godfather of Modern Reissues", the work from Richard's companies has been instrumental in the current "golden age" of vinyl, and have inspired reissue labels we know and love like Light in the Attic (LITA), Sundazed Music, and the folks in Salina, KS at Analogue Productions.  In this reflective interview, Foos shares the incredible journey from opening the original Rhino Records store in Westwood, Los Angeles in 1973 to building one of the most influential reissue labels in music history. From preserving lost music and comedy albums to pioneering deluxe box sets, archival releases, and collector culture, Richard Foos helped shape how generations of music fans experience physical media. With Rhino, he set a standard for quality and bonus essays, lost tracks, features, etc. that music fans have enjoyed for decades.  Topics include: The origins of his connection to music The early days of Rhino Records, the record store Building the reissue label and store through a couple "happy accidents" Legendary Rhino projects involving The Monkees, Ramones, James Brown and MORE! What goes into curating a reissue choice? from licensing to consumer desire to personal preferences Launching Shout! Factory and expanding into film and television preservation Why curation, community, and storytelling still matter What does he think of the "vinyl resurgence" of the past two decades? Moving away from the boardroom and into philanthropic projects like The Narrative Method and Volunteer Collective Did Dave Grohl "license" his name to when naming the Foo Fighters?   This conversation is essential listening for vinyl collectors, music historians, physical media enthusiasts, and anyone fascinated by the business and culture behind record collecting.   Often imitated, never duplicated, please join us for another fine interview courtesy of Vinyl Community Podcasts!

We gathered to listen through one of the most singular debut albums ever made. Here's the recording of the chat. Niall is joined at our live listening event Listen Closely in the Big Romance by Cian Galvin aka Irish hip-hop producer and crate digger The Expert to discuss... DJ Shadow - Endtroducing (1996) A towering achievement in sample-based plunderphonics, music arrangements and turntablist-lead production techniques, DJ Shadow's 1996's debut album Endtroducing remains one of the most evocative and singular classic albums of recent times. Entirely built of obscure crate-dug samples using an Akai MPC60 sampler, Endtroducing's cinematic soundscapes finds a transportive space where emotionally resonant electronica and hip-hop meet - the middle ground between light and shadow. It is considered one of the best albums of all-time, and is certainly one of mine. * 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 The third instalment of our loosely titled Plunderphonics series for the Nialler9 Listening Party brought us to a record that, thirty years on, still doesn't quite sound like anything else. DJ Shadow's Endtroducing, released September 16th 1996 on Mo' Wax, is a record built entirely from other records - and yet it sounds like nothing any of those records ever sounded like. If you missed the night, the podcast recording is above. What follows is a bit of context and some of what we got into. The trilogy so far We've now done The Avalanches' Since I Left You and J Dilla's Donuts as part of this loose series. All three are sample-based records. All three feel like complete worlds unto themselves. There's something about the constraint of working entirely within found sound that produces a particular kind of magic - you're hearing music that was already forgotten being given an entirely new life, filtered through the taste and instincts of one person with a singular obsession. Endtroducing is the most melancholic of the three. It's not a party record or a rap record in any conventional sense. It's a cinematic, introspective piece of work - breakbeats, jazz, psychedelia, hip-hop, all of it dissolved into something that feels like its own atmosphere. The kid from Davis, California Josh Davis grew up in Davis, California, then San Jose - both outside the main cultural centres, which is something he and Mo' Wax founder James Lavelle bonded over immediately when they first spoke by phone. Lavelle had grown up in Oxford. Both felt like outsiders to the scenes they were drawn to. Shadow was experimenting with a four-track recorder in high school and DJing on the campus radio station KDVS at UC Davis before he'd made a single release. By 1993 he was part of the Solesides underground hip-hop collective alongside Blackalicious, Lateef, and Lyrics Born. Lavelle found him through a B-side remix on a forgotten hip-hop promo, tracked him down through a friend at Tommy Boy Records, and told him: "Don't worry about choruses and verses, just push your sound further." That's more or less what he did. The equipment The entire album was made on an Akai MPC60 II, a pair of turntables, and an Alesis ADAT tape recorder that belonged to Dan the Automator. Shadow was 23 years old. The MPC could sample 2.5 seconds of stereo and store 13 seconds total. Everything on the record - the beats, the melodies, the percussion - had to be constructed within those limits. Self-imposed limitation producing something that infinite digital possibilities probably couldn't. There's a reason we don't really get records like this anymore, and it's partly because the tools have become too open-ended. The seams and the constraints are part of what gives Endtroducing its particular texture. The crates Shadow spent his days in the basement of Rare Records in Sacramento, a shop with records piled to the ceiling. He found a mummified bat down there once. The cover photograph, taken by B+, shows producer Chief Xcel and Lyrics Born (in a wig) in that same basement. It's as good a visual summary of the album's ethos as you'll find anywhere. He made it a rule to avoid sampling obvious or well-known material. The samples he pulled were largely from forgotten funk, soul, jazz, experimental, and sound library records - music that had no audience left and no commercial future. He rescued them. The liner notes credit everything, including the big clearance cases: Metallica, Björk, and the David Axelrod piano loop that anchors 'Midnight in a Perfect World'. Lavelle handled the clearances. "The samples were pretty easy to clear," he said. "It's different when you're sampling some Swedish drum break from 1970 than sampling James Brown." The album itself Endtroducing feels like a place. Not a collection of tracks but a world you enter at the start and leave at the end, slightly altered. The drums on 'Building Steam with a Grain of Salt', the disorienting loop of 'Changeling', the controlled chaos of the second half of 'Scatter Brain', the three-part sweep of 'Stem/Long Stem', the ache of 'Midnight in a Perfect World'. It's not a happy record. Shadow said himself that feelings of self-doubt and depression came through in the music during production. You can hear it. The Wire's first ever review called it "a debut of melancholic mediocrity." Melody Maker said "you need this record. You are incomplete without it." The bigger question There's a clip of Shadow in the Rare Records basement that gets used a lot in discussions about Endtroducing. He gestures around at the records and says: "Almost none of these artists still have a career. Ten years down the line, you'll be in here." It's a bleak thought, but also the central one. Sampling asks us to reckon with music's ephemerality - but it also offers a counter-argument. These records survived because Shadow found them. Their sounds are in the album. They're still being heard.

Chair: Jess Harrold, legal & professional editor  Speakers:  James Brown, managing director, The Urbanists Mary Ann Brocklesby, county councillor, Monmouthshire County Council Regeneration is often discussed through the lens of city skylines and urban hubs, but the heart of a region's success frequently lies in its towns and rural communities. In these areas, the challenges are unique: tackling hidden social deprivation, nurturing local talent, and creating a sense of "place" that encourages people to stay, grow, and invest their futures locally. In this episode, we are joined by county councillor Mary Ann Brocklesby and James Brown from The Urbanists to explore rural and town centre revival. We dive into the Cardiff Capital Region's guiding philosophy of 'Live, Work and Thrive' and what it actually takes to build a sustainable community where high-quality employment and a fulfilling lifestyle coexist. Regeneration isn't something that should happen to a town; it's a journey that must be travelled with its residents. From fostering deep community integration to enhancing the everyday quality of life, we explore how thoughtful placemaking can bridge the gap between social necessity and economic opportunity.

Kirk returns to Kind of Blue, taking a closer look at two more tunes off of the 1959 jazz classic. First, he digs into the modified 12-bar blues "Freddie Freeloader," with a focus on Wynton Kelly's much-emulated opening piano solo. He then compares and contrasts how John Coltrane and Cannonball Adderley approached the closing track, "Flamenco Sketches" on tenor and alto sax, respectively.

Sur scène, six artistes, comédiennes, musiciens, à l'invitation de Ludmilla Dabo pour parler de leurs musiques préférées ou, plus précisément, raconter les mélodies de l'enfance, les premières chansons entendues ou chantées. «Musiques en héritage» est le nouveau spectacle de Ludmilla Dabo qui a toujours mis la musique au cœur de ses projets depuis une quinzaine d'années. Reprise, featuring, remix… un spectacle collaboratif Parce que la musique est faite pour être partagée, Ludmilla Dabo s'associe à cinq autres artistes (Anthony Capelli, Louis Jeffroy, Kaloune, Gilles Normand et Élise Vigier), qui l'accompagnent et se dévoilent au fil d'une soirée aux airs de veillée autour d'un feu de camp. Elle souligne d'ailleurs un travail mené « en toute collectivité ». En invoquant les sons qui ont bercé leur enfance, ils renouent avec leurs parents, entretiennent le souvenir des proches qui les ont quittés. En quelques révolutions du tourne-disque, le tour est joué ; on peut remonter le temps. Ludmilla Dabo évoque sa mère et ses tantes qui pouvaient danser sur du James Brown et retrouver leurs vingt ans. Pas de nostalgie pour autant : en reprenant les titres que d'autres leur ont fait découvrir, les six interprètes se les réapproprient. Un héritage à partager La musique, c'est le temps qui passe. Les mélodies, comme les années, se suivent sans se ressembler. Louis transmet un air traditionnel breton à ses collaborateurs, air qui lui vient de son grand-père, Kaloune choisit de mettre à l'honneur le maloya et chante en créole réunionnais. Ludmilla Dabo rappelle que le maloya fait aussi partie de notre patrimoine en tant que français, qu'il est la « mémoire d'un territoire » et qu'il fait partie de la musique qu'on reçoit en héritage. Selon la formule employée par Ludmilla Dabo, la musique trace « un chemin », jalonne un parcours individuel ; et souvent, ces chemins se rencontrent. Comme lorsque Gilles Normand, le guitariste, révèle au reste du groupe qu'il a été membre des Poppys quand il était petit garçon. En guise de réponse, la troupe entonne Non, non rien n'a changé, et le public aussi s'y met : la salle se lève, chante, danse, applaudit. La musique nous relie les uns aux autres. Un objectif que Ludmilla Dabo cite dans le programme du spectacle : nous permettre d'« être de concert ensemble ». De mère camerounaise, elle ne parle pas le bassa, mais elle peut le chanter.

Tricky Dick is in office, James Brown is on the radio, and Wayne Beasley reluctantly presides over the comings and goings of his barbers and patrons at Wayne's Clip and Trim in Augusta, South Carolina. When one of Wayne's former customers, an unassuming small-town son, is designated 4-F, unfit to serve in Vietnam, he seeks refuge in becoming the next best thing—a security guard for a downtown DC hotel. It is there on a hot summer's night, that Wayne's wayward patron interrupts a break-in that will disrupt the course of a nation's history and his own. Wesley Brown, author of Tragic Magic, Darktown Strutters, and Blue in Green: A Novella, once again remaps the tributaries that run into the stream of our American subconscious, by dipping into the headwaters of pivotal memories and histories to tell the tale from the perspective of the real folks whose stories were too long submerged. Without Frank Wills there is no Watergate. And without Watergate the veil of secrecy and corruption that came to define the Nixon years, warping the very fabric of political discourse from that moment on, would have remained firmly in place. Wesley Brown's re-imagining of the life of Frank Wills reconciles the greatest heist of all—our place in the American story. What was stolen from Wills as he was briefly thrust into the spotlight, while excluded from the annals of history, is reclaimed, as Brown gives voice and breath to the people who loved him and the barber who did his best to guide him. Wesley Brown is an acclaimed novelist, playwright, and teacher. He worked with the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party in 1965 and became a member of the Black Panther Party in 1968. In 1972, he was sentenced to three years in prison for refusing induction into the armed services and spent eighteen months in Lewisburg Federal Penitentiary. For twenty-six years, Brown was a much-revered professor at Rutgers University, where he inspired hundreds of students. He currently teaches literature at Bard College at Simon's Rock and lives in Chatham, New York. Learn more about your ad choices.

Frank is flying solo for the first hour and dragging Mike Baldwin into the second, and the whole show feels like a Friday because tomorrow is somebody else's problem. He opens on the freshly unsealed Jeffrey Epstein "suicide note," which reads like it was ghostwritten by James Brown, then walks through the timeline that nobody seems willing to explain: the prior strangulation attempt, the missing count slips, the 38 minute head start on 4chan, and the unsigned trip van. From there it's Spencer Pratt running for LA mayor, AOC's knitting circle podcast declaring billionaires literally cannot exist, and the supposed "final boss of wokeness" Met Gala model. Then comes the heart of the show: Frankleyville. If we bought a ghost town and built our own M. Night Shyamalan village, what would you put in it? Callers weigh in. The hantavirus cruise ship gets the X-Files treatment, complete with a 1998 Martin Landau monologue, a 1992 Army patent, and Gene Hackman's wife. A time traveler from 2050 calls in to confirm God wins. Mike Baldwin closes things out with a brand new baby on the way.

In 19th-century America almost anyone could print their own money – and many did. One of the most notable figures to take this up was a man named James Brown, a charismatic conman who built a fortune producing fake banknotes. In this episode of The Story of Money, Stephen Mihm, a professor of history at the University of Georgia, introduces hosts Gillian Tett and Robin Wigglesworth to “the hardest working man in counterfeiting”. They discuss the parallels between banking in the Wild West and the advent of cryptocurrencies today, and the role trust plays in all financial systems.

S6:E45 What happens when a business grows faster than its structure, messaging, or leadership capacity? In this episode of Small Business Stories, Dr. LL sits down with James Brown, founder of Business Accelerator Institute and Perseverance Squared, to discuss why so many entrepreneurs become trapped inside businesses they worked hard to build. If people don't trust what they're seeing, they hesitate. If the market cannot clearly categorize your value, visibility declines. And in the AI-search era, operational confusion increasingly becomes a credibility problem. James Brown brings decades of experience in business growth, strategic management, marketing systems, and leadership development. After building and scaling multiple companies himself, he has helped hundreds of business owners create more sustainable operations and clearer growth strategies.  Together, Dr. LL and James explore the operational and visibility consequences of founder overload, inconsistent marketing, unclear positioning, and businesses built entirely around personal sacrifice. We're open and honest about it because we've both been there - and got the t-shirt. ⚠️ Core Problems Discussed • Why many entrepreneurs become operational bottlenecks • The hidden costs of inconsistent marketing strategy • How unclear business identity weakens market trust

"Rick Flynn Presents: Confessions of a Sho Biz Kid" Proudly Welcomes Back:MARTHA HIGH and her FUNKY DIVAS Episode 283 of the Rick Flynn Presents Podcast ShowAre you ready for some super dynamite soul? The Goddess of Soul, Miss Martha High, brings her timeless elegance, grace and style to a selection of platinum hits, including those she recorded with James Brown, the Godfather of Soul for over 32 years. Feet start tapping, hands clapping, and before long, everyone is dancing in their seats. Martha High is an internationally acclaimed performer, songwriter, author, vocal instructor, radio talk show host, and artist. She has released 13 albums of which she wrote and co-produced much of the material. She was discovered by The Godfather of Soul, James Brown, at the age of 18 in the mid-1960s while singing with The Four Jewels at the world famous Apollo Theater in New York. They later become The Jewels after Mr. Brown invited them to join him on the road with the James Brown Revue. Martha Harvin was renamed Martha High by Mr. Brown and later crowned her The Goddess of Soul. She has the distinction of having worked with The Godfather longer than any other singer. Darliene Parker has been the soulful voice behind Maceo Parker, former James Brown Show bandleader, since 2012, touring the world as a mainstay backing and featured vocalist. Her career highlights include performances with the Seattle Repertory Jazz Orchestra, her own group, PARKER, songwriting and the release of her self-titled EP. Growing up in Ohio, Darliene was inspired by her singer mother and an encouraging father who nurtured her talent from an early age. “My father awakened the singer in me. As soon as I could talk, he taught me how to say ‘water' real low. That's how my lower register was first discovered,” she shared. Darliene's talent earned her a musical scholarship to the Manhattan School of Music. Kelly Jarrell, a star vocalist with The Bittersweets, James Brown's legendary background group, hails from Augusta, Georgia, just like the Godfather of Soul himself. Kelly's sweet and sultry voice enriched Mr. Brown's iconic hits both onstage and in the studio, adding unforgettable harmonies to his most beloved songs. "It was 12 of the most exciting years of my life,” said Kelly about her time touring the globe with Mr. Dynamite. She added, “Working with Fred Wesley and his band, who often accompany the Funky Divas (Check Official Calendar for Confirmation) and paying homage to the real Funky Divas is another dream come true!”

James Brown and John Butler talk about the second week of district baseball and softball action. They also chat about the Kentucky Derby, high school basketball coaching carousel and more.

YHI + McBride = Ray Charles?! Christian McBride - bassist, Grammy winner and one of the greatest musical minds working today - joins Adam and Peter on You'll Hear It to share his desert island album.If you know Christian, you know that his musical hero is James Brown. But Christian isn't bringing a James Brown pick. Instead, he's bringing one from his hero's hero ... Ray Charles.This album was a risky move for Charles - unlike anything else he'd released at that time. At the peak of his power, he set aside the qualities that made him famous: his voice and his piano.This one's a deep cut. But once you listen, you'll never hear Ray Charles the same way again.Chapters Legend:

What does it really take to change the culture of a profession? In this episode of Trial Tested, host James Brown sits down with the Honorable George Strathy, former Chief Justice of Ontario, for a deeply personal and wide-ranging conversation about mental health in the legal profession. Chief Justice Strathy opens about his mother's lifelong struggle with bipolar disorder, a colleague's near-crisis moment that was met with remarkable compassion, and his own experience using alcohol to self-medicate anxiety during his years in practice. Together, he and James explore why stigma persists, why culture change must come from the top, and what law firms can do right now to build environments where lawyers can thrive.  This episode also marks the release of the ACTL Mental Health Awareness Committee's new white paper — a set of concrete recommendations for law firm infrastructure change to support lawyer wellbeing.

Rod Stewart, Irma Thomas, Rockin' Dopsie Jr. & The Zydeco Twisters It was great. Like any day you spend at Jazz Fest of the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival. It was Sunday, April 26, 2026. Hot, humid and beautiful. I got to see the tail end of the New Orleans Nightcrawlers set. I really enjoyed hearing them play! Then I finally got to see Rockin' Dopsie Jr. & The Zydeco Twisters live and in person. Dopsie is a performer who channels James Brown with unimaginable energy. He brings a relentless drive to the washboard and managed to keep the crowd in a state of constant motion. Next, I had the privilege of seeing the "Soul Queen of New Orleans," Irma Thomas once again. There is a profound sincerity in her voice. There's no one quite like her. She shared a poignant moment with the audience, noting that while she may have never had a million-selling record, but she has millions of fans. We all cherish what she does. The day concluded with a headline performance by Rod Stewart. Seeing a legend of his stature in the context of the Fair Grounds was something I won't forget. He delivered a set that felt like both a grand finale and a celebration of showmanship in the classic sense. Rod and his band moved seamlessly from hit to hit. And you could tell he had a genuine appreciation for the festival atmosphere and the city. I heard a lot of music! From the sounds of Mento and Zydeco to the world-renowned icons on the main stage, the 2026 festival was like all the other days of Jazz Fest I've witnessed. It was a day of phenomenal performances that personified the New Orleans spirit. The Paul Leslie Hour is a talk show dedicated to “Helping People Tell Their Stories.” Some of the most iconic people of all time drop in to chat. Frequent topics include Arts, Entertainment and Culture.

Written by Reed LochamyPlayed by Will Lochamy and James BrownFor most rounds, there are three questions, and you rank your answers, assigning point values of 5, 3, and 1 each round, depending on your level of confidence. The one you feel best about is your 5-point answer, the one you're just guessing on is your 1-point answer. (For any rounds where the points don't work this way, we'll discuss that during the game.)If you feel certain that you know the answer to all three questions in a typical round, then instead of assigning points of 5, 3 and 1, you can go for 11 points. If you do that and you answer all three questions correctly, you get 11 points (instead of 9). However, if you do that and you miss just one question, you get a 0 for the round.The bonus round question has five possible answers. You get 3 points for every correct answer you submit. Like with going for 11 in typical rounds, though, you can choose to go for 20 in the bonus round (but doing so is risky in the same way that going for 11 in typical rounds is).Have questions about the game or how it works?

Tonight on Listening Lyrics we salute James Brown—the Godfather of Soul, a man whose grooves, screams, rhythms, and swagger became a musical blueprint. His songs didn't just become hits—they became assignments. Generations of artists from jazz, rock, reggae, funk, blues, and pop have all taken their turn covering him. When musicians need fire, rhythm, and attitude, they often start with James Brown. For the next hour, we'll hear what happens when other artists borrow from the master.

Steve Binder is one of the most influential figures in music television, even if you don't know his name. From The T.A.M.I. Show to Elvis Presley's '68 Comeback Special, his work created moments that changed music history. In this episode, Steve shares how he went from the mailroom at KABC to directing icons like Frank Sinatra, The Allman Brothers, and The Rolling Stones, and what it was like to be thrown into some of the most pivotal TV moments of the 1960s and 70s. We talk about the making of The T.A.M.I. Show and the night James Brown delivered a performance so explosive it shook The Rolling Stones. The raw, behind-the-scenes story of Elvis' comeback, including the now-legendary sit-down sessions that redefined his career. And the cultural firestorm that followed when Petula Clark took Harry Belafonte's arm on live television. These were unforgettable music moments on TV, and Steve Binder was right in the middle of them.

Today on part two of the Rarified Heir Podcast with guest Leo Sidran, we focused on the career of Grammy winning (but not Oscar winning as we find out) musician Leo Sidran about growing up the son of jazzbo, Ben Sidran. On this episode we dig deep into Leo's career as an in demand musician for film and commercial scoring as well as his production work and his record label. We also get into discussing his podcast, The Third Story which has a lot in common with this one quite frankly – and it's terrific. Our conversation takes us from Wisconsin to Spain, where Leo spent quite a bit of his years in high school and in his twenties after a study abroad program kicked his love of the country into high gear. As we find out it was Ben who inadvertently made this all possible simply because he wanted his young son to speak Spanish as a kid. Somehow that leads to gigs in Spain, living in Seville, a very important tribute to Spanish poet Frederico Garcia Lorca and an Irish pub in Andalucía became a major  part of his life and career. Moreover, we discuss how James Brown's 'Funky drummer' Clyde Stubblefield became a major part of Leo's life when he quit the JBs and moved to Madison Wisconsin. How we manage to weave all these disparate tendrils into a cohesive (ahem) podcast episode is beyond even me. But that's one of the things about the Rarified Heir Podcast, because everyone has a story. This is a Sidran story. Take a listen.
