Interview Date: July 14th, 2025Episode Summary:Eden Shabtai shares how a kid from a tiny Israeli kibbutz—obsessed with MTV and training in ballet and modern—willed her way into New York's scene and eventually L.A.'s major stages. She opens up about the unglamorous decade of artist development, underpaid gigs, and nonstop outreach that built the foundation for her “overnight” break assisting on Chris Brown's Loyal, leading to major award shows and TV. A six-month backpacking trip through India reshaped her idea of success, while the O-1 visa process taught ruthless persistence. Eden also speaks candidly about receiving an aggressive breast-cancer diagnosis while five months pregnant, undergoing chemo with cold-cap treatments, and protecting her peace by avoiding toxic workrooms.Creatively, Eden explains why she builds choreography live in the studio—feeding off dancers and music—and why energy, individuality, and attitude matter more than stacked résumés. Listeners will gain insight into using social media strategically, differences between NYC training and L.A. work volume, how to stand out in auditions (presence, styling, quick adjustments), and the mindset that sustains a career: humility, resilience, and community.Shownotes:(0:00) – Welcome and guest introduction(8:20) – Early roots: ballet, modern, MTV influence(13:53) – India trip reframes success and happiness(15:24) – Visa grind: persistence, evidence, good lawyer(18:53) – Moving to L.A.: training vs. booking realities(21:08) – Breakthrough: assisting on “Loyal”(26:44) – Favorite projects: BET 2014, Fleur East(29:31) – Cancer while pregnant: resilience and boundaries(42:05) – Creative process: energy-first choreography(51:19) – What makes dancers stand outBiography:Originally from a kibbutz in northern Israel, Eden began training in ballet and modern at age 7. With no formal hip-hop classes available at the time, she learned by watching MTV. Determined to pursue dance professionally, she left home at 16 to study at a specialized dance school. After serving in the IDF, she spent six transformative months traveling India before moving to New York City to chase her dream.In NYC, Eden trained at Broadway Dance Center and quickly became a sought-after teacher for over 150 young students while choreographing for up-and-coming artists. Realizing her long-term goals required a move west, she relocated to Los Angeles in 2010.Since then, Eden has worked across NBC, ABC, BET, FOX, CBS, VH1, CW, and MTV. Her credits include the VMAs, Grammys, Billboard Awards, Dancing with the Stars, iHeart Radio Awards, BET Awards, Soul Train Awards, X Factor, The Ellen Show, James Corden, American Idol, Jimmy Kimmel, Jimmy Fallon, and more.

Robyn regresa tras siete años de silencio con 'Dopamine', un estallido de euforia que marca su esperado retorno. Elegir como título la hormona de la felicidad resume perfectamente el universo de deseo, alegría y energía que caracteriza su música. Pero el nombre también invita a una reflexión: una descarga de dopamina provoca una emoción intensa, poderosa y placentera, aunque en esencia no sea más que un proceso biológico. Una forma de recordarnos que, como humanos, solo sobrevivimos en la intersección entre lo emocional y lo científico.Además, Franceso Carril responde a nuestro cuestionario cultural en FAQ!

The transgressive trailblazer celebrates 25 years since The Teaches of Peaches.

Move over custom hand-crafted gold plated thousand dollar 5-Hour Energy cufflinks from last year…because we have a new “chompion” within the absurd world of CPG branded luxury fashion accessories. So, on the most-watched red carpet event of the season…a night when million-dollar jewels adorn celebrities and fashion makes its boldest statements, 1800 Tequila claimed its place as the Met Gala's most unexpected luxury. Inspired by the iconic 1800 Cristalino bottle (and the blue Weber agave plant), a one-of-a-kind diamond…presented in a brooch, was worn by Grammy-nominated musician and actress Janelle Monáe. According to the jewelry designer, “every detail of the 1800 Tequila diamond brooch was crafted to embody the spirit of liquid in solid form.” So, while we likely won't see many CPG brands trying their hand at designing diamonds…I think it's super inspiring that 1800 Tequila maintained brand consistency across different artistic mediums.

Chances are you've seen the infamous "You wanna play 21?" promo by Jake "The Snake" Roberts from the Heroes of Wrestling pay-per-view. While the promo was not one of Jake's finer moments, it has inspired the topic of this, the twenty-first episode of Music of the Mat Remix.

In this episode, we unpack the standout looks and unexpected moments from the 2025 Met Gala, themed “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.” From bold statements to subtle nods to tradition, we explore what worked, what didn't, and why Janelle Monáe's clockwork couture had us fully transfixed. We also reveal which attendee we'd choose to photograph if given the chance—spoiler: one of us is already envisioning a rooftop session with Monáe under city lights. Join us for thoughtful commentary, fashion insights, and a touch of dream-casting from behind the lens. #MetGala

Send us a textAmerica's power dynamics are laid bare in this unflinching examination of who gets regulated and who gets to break the rules. From the glittering Met Gala runway to polluted neighborhoods in Memphis, we connect seemingly disparate cultural moments to reveal a consistent pattern of privilege and control.The episode opens with a sharp critique of the Met Gala's first Black-themed event centered around dandyism. While celebrities like Teanna Taylor, Coleman Domingo and Janelle Monáe delivered stunning interpretations, we question why Black women were largely confined to traditionally masculine silhouettes rather than celebrating the full spectrum of Black feminine aesthetics. This exploration of cultural representation sets the stage for more serious discussions about power imbalances.Meanwhile, celebrities like Future and Trippie Redd face ruthless critique for their appearances and behavior, revealing our complicated relationship with Black male image and identity.The conversation takes a powerful turn when examining a viral incident where a white woman called a Black child a racial slur at a park. "Why don't white men say these words to our faces?" becomes a pointed challenge that exposes how racism often operates through proxies while avoiding direct confrontation and consequences. Perhaps most damning is our analysis of Trump's selective regulation policies. After meeting with Nick Saban, Trump quickly moved to regulate college athletes' NIL deals, potentially limiting Black students' earning potential. Yet simultaneously, Elon Musk's company operates unpermitted methane turbines in a predominantly Black Memphis neighborhood with seemingly no consequences. This stark contrast crystallizes America's inconsistent approach to government oversight depending on who benefits and who suffers.Whether examining academic cheating through AI, celebrity culture, or marriage economics, the episode repeatedly returns to one troubling question: why do we only seem interested in controlling Black success while letting corporations and the wealthy operate under different rules? Join us for an eye-opening conversation that will challenge your understanding of how power operates in America today.

Kim Marsh and Alice Nagle from Fetch the Smelling Salts podcast join Flixwatcher to review Kim's choice Hidden Figures. Hidden Figures (2016) is loosely based on the non-fiction book of the same name by Margot Lee Shetterly. It tells the incredible true story of the biographies of three African-American women who worked as computers to solve problems for engineers and others at NASA. Directed by Theodore Melfi it stars Taraji P. Henson as Katherine Goble Johnson, Octavia Spencer as Dorothy Vaughan and Janelle Monáe as Mary Jackson. Other real life character include Mahershala Ali as Jim Johnson, who marries Katherine and Glen Powell as astronaut John Glenn. In fictional roles it also stars Kevin Costner, Kirsten Dunst and Jim Parsons. Hidden Figures shines a light on the impressive work done by women of colour in behind the scenes roles. However, there are a number of fictional scenes and several inaccuracies, some that lean into the white saviour trope. Recommendability scores were very favourable despite the historical inaccuracies. Fairly solid scores across the remaining categories give a very respectable score of 4.34 overall.

For episode 160 of the podcast, join Rain Phoenix at Licorice Pizza as she hosts an engaging conversation with legendary songwriter Diane Warren and rising musician Mergui. This episode offers a deep dive into Diane's illustrious career, her creative process, and her collaboration with Mergui on the song "Criminal." The discussion provides unique perspectives on the music industry, including insights from one of modern music’s most celebrated songwriters. IN THIS EPISODE:  [5:05] Diane Warren's early musical influences [11:10] Writing I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing and OSCAR nominations [13:00] Diane launches Mergui [15:28] Diane's versatility across musical genres [20:00] Mergui’s insights on sampling Elton John’s song KEY TAKEAWAYS:  Diane Warren's journey into songwriting began at a young age, sparked by her fascination with record credits. She would study the names of songwriters on albums, dreaming of seeing her own name there one day. This early passion and determination set her on a path to becoming one of the most successful songwriters in the industry. Despite the challenges faced by women in the music industry, Diane never let her gender define her capabilities. Inspired by trailblazers like Carole King, she pursued her career with confidence, never doubting her potential to succeed as a songwriter. Collaboration with artists like Mergui showcases Diane and Mergui's ability to adapt and thrive in different musical genres. Diane’s intuitive sense for matching songs with the right artists has led to successful partnerships, allowing her to continue creating timeless music across various styles. It’s important for songwriters to find the right artist to sing and produce their songs, someone who will honor and preserve the meaning and the music. That’s when the magic happens.

She has penned nine #1 and thirty-three top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 and is tied for having written the most #1 songs as a sole writer in Billboard history. She was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2001 and received the prestigious Johnny Mercer Award from the organization in June 2024. She has received 16 Academy Award nominations, is a GRAMMY winner with 15 nominations, an EMMY winner, and is a two-time Golden Globe winner whose songs have been featured in more than 150 films. In November 2022, Warren became the first songwriter in history to receive an Honorary Oscar, as voted on by the Academy's Board of Governors. She recently wrote the original song "The Fire Inside," performed by Becky G for the film Flamin' Hot, directed by Eva Longoria, which marked her 15th Oscar nomination. She most recently wrote the original song “The Journey” performed by H.E.R. for the feature film The Six Triple Eight directed by Tyler Perry which marked her 16th Oscar nomination. She is the sole owner of her publishing company Realsongs, the most successful female-owned and operated business in the music industry. Warren is a recipient of a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, a nod to her legendary career, having worked with many of today's most popular artists, including Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, H.E.R., Snoop Dogg, Paloma Faith, Jon Batiste, Maren Morris, John Legend, Christina Aguilera, Kelly Clarkson, Andra Day, Justin Bieber, Jennifer Hudson and Janelle Monáe, in addition to having written songs for iconic artists such as Whitney Houston, Cher, Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, Dolly Parton, Reba McEntire, and many more.   Mergui has made it his mission to push the limits of modern pop music. He’s accomplished some incredible feats such as opening for Bruno Mars and Maroon 5. His talent has been recognized by publications such as Rolling Stone, Billboard, Wonderland Magazine, and Notion. Drawing inspiration from the rich tapestry of early 20th-century Italian opera and the nostalgic allure of ‘70s AM pop, Mergui’s sophomore EP Shadows of Blue was a remarkable fusion of influences. Notable tracks from the EP include the Elton John-approved “Cry,” and “Happy Now?”, which he performed on The Kelly Clarkson Show and NBC’s The TODAY Show, resulting in the track skyrocketing to the Top 10 on the U.S. iTunes Singer/Songwriter charts. Mergui’s music has been featured in top-notch editorial playlists across digital service platforms including Spotify’s New Music Friday (US & Global), Chill Pop, New Pop Picks, and Just Good Music. Mergui’s unguarded sense of vulnerability shines through in his art, landing him a coveted spot on People Magazine’s Emerging Artists of 2024 list. Following a successful tour with Forest Blakk and a collaboration with Sam Feldt in the latter half of 2024, Mergui is ready to take 2025 by storm with the release of his latest EP Nobody Really Knows.

Linktree: https://linktr.ee/AnalyticIn this segment of Notorious Mass Effect, Analytic Dreamz dissects Chappell Roan's debut performance at the 2025 Grammy Awards, where she brought her hit "Pink Pony Club" to life with a visually stunning and thematic display. Roan, at 26, not only captivated the audience but also solidified her status as a major new talent in pop music, earning six Grammy nominations including Album of the Year for "The Rise and Fall of a Midwest Princess" and Best New Artist. We explore her journey from Willard, Missouri, to the Grammys stage, highlighting key career milestones like her support on Olivia Rodrigo's "Guts" tour and her previous performance at the MTV VMAs. The performance of "Pink Pony Club," which has maintained a strong presence on the Billboard Hot 100, was themed around Roan's love for Los Angeles, featuring a grand pink horse and rodeo clowns, culminating in a standing ovation from the likes of Janelle Monáe. Analytic Dreamz delves into Roan's early struggles, her initial signing and subsequent release from Atlantic Records, and her rise with tracks like "Pink Pony Club," which was recognized for its cultural impact. This segment provides an in-depth look at how Chappell Roan's unique blend of camp, queerness, and theatricality made her Grammys performance a pivotal moment in her burgeoning career.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

This week, we kick off Black History Month with some powerful words from Doechii and a reminder: You are exactly who you need to be.

Beyoncé finally got her crowning glory of Best Album of the Year at the 67th Grammy Awards—something that has eluded her illustrious career for decades. “Cowboy Carter” added to her collection of Grammys, I think it was number 36. The singer, who was visibly surprised, dedicated her award to Linda Martel, the first Black woman to perform solo at the Grand Ole Opry. And by the way, Ms. Martel, who's 83, is featured on several of “Cowboy Carter” songs, and it makes Beyoncé the first Black woman to win Album of the Year since 1999, when Lauryn Hill's “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill” took the title. Now, while accepting her award for Best Rap Album, Doechii—who is only the third woman to win the honor—thanked God and her mom, Celicia Moore, whom she brought up on stage with her to share the moment. Doechii delivered a powerful message to all of the little Black girls out there, saying they could do whatever they dream of. This year's Grammy telecast, of course, was shifted after the L.A. fires to a fundraiser. And by the end of the show, America had raised more than $7 million for many of the people suffering after the Eaton and Palisades fires. And now for some of the stuff you probably didn't see: that Associated Press reporter who dissed music legend Babyface. In the middle of her interview, she saw Chappell Roan and left Babyface mid-sentence. She didn't apologize until after the clip went viral. And by now, you may have seen Kanye West's wife, who left little to the imagination by going completely naked underneath a sheer minidress. They left after a few minutes on the carpet—hey, nudity is against the law in L.A.! And then there's Kendrick Lamar, who had a great night with five wins, including Song and Record of the Year. But one of the best moments for me was the tribute to the late Quincy Jones, led by Stevie Wonder, who was joined by a student choir from Pasadena Waldorf School and Palisades High School—both severely damaged by the wildfires. The tribute included Cynthia Erivo and Herbie Hancock, who I've got to say set a whole new standard for live performances, along with Jacob Collier, Janelle Monáe, and Lainey Wilson. Yes, it was a great night for the City of Angels, and music's biggest night did not disappoint. Now, we were on the red carpet and backstage in the press room—virtually—kind of an interesting setup.

According to a September 2023 Pew Research Center survey, more than one in five Black adults in the United States believe that owning a business is essential for achieving financial success. Although Black-owned businesses have experienced significant growth in recent years, they still represent a small percentage of overall firms and revenue in the U.S., based on our analysis of federal data.   In 2021, majority Black-owned businesses accounted for only about 3% of all U.S. firms that could be classified by the race and ethnicity of their owners. These businesses generated just 1% of the total gross revenue from all classifiable companies that year, while roughly 14% of the American population identified as Black.   In 2021, Black or African American majority-owned firms provided income for approximately 1.4 million workers, with estimated annual payrolls of $53.6 billion. However, most Black-owned firms tend to be smaller enterprises. Two-thirds of these businesses had fewer than 10 employees, 13% had between 10 and 49 employees, and only 3% had 50 or more employees. Additionally, 16% reported having no employees at all (employment size is determined by the number of paid workers during the March 12 pay period according to the ABS).   Arias WebsterBerry is a seasoned entrepreneur, digital marketing expert, and certified Scrum Master with over a decade of experience. He is the founder of WebsterBerry Marketing, an agency that redefines digital marketing, and Ignite Funnels, a platform dedicated to accelerating business growth.

Hey lady! We love you, for real. There's so much going on in the world right now. Everything from the election to multiple genocides on Black and Brown people to the high price on groceries. On top of that it can feel like Black women are being mistreated across the board and disrespected at levels that are often disappointing. What was it that Malcolm X. said about the most disrespected, unprotected, and neglected person in America? Yep, it's us. But, that is not the entirety of our story – in fact it barely scratches the surface of the wonderous, beautiful, and amazing experience of being a Black woman.This week Terri and Dr. Dom pour into each other and you with a love letter to Black women. This heart affirming, soul understanding episode is meant for the ladies who need a quick reminder that girl, you are the shit and don't let nobody tell you different! Dr. Dom and Terri share some of their experiences being loved on, supported, and uplifted by Black women in the hopes that if ever there is a low moment in your journey to reflect on the ways that you've been supported by your community of Black women.
