Do you know someone who's been incarcerated? Have you ever actually asked them their story, instead of judging them on that one fact? Because 95% of incarcerated people eventually leave prison and come home. They are our neighbors, our coworkers, our family members.  Here's why this is relevant to you today: This administration has made "tough on crime" the centerpiece of its second term - among other things, reviving the federal death penalty, pushing back against cashless bail reform, and pressuring prosecutors nationwide to seek harsher sentences (when, of course, it benefits them and/or the MAGA agenda). The message from Washington is loud and clear: punishment first, everything else second. But here's a question nobody in Washington seems to be asking: what happens after? How we treat people when they come home - whether we see them as people, or permanently as their worst mistake - says as much about us as any policy coming out of Washington. So today we're going straight to a conversation that is one of our favorites, with someone who's lived both sides of this story: Marcus Bullock, CEO of Flikshop, who was incarcerated as a teenager and built a company helping formerly incarcerated people stay connected to their families and rebuild their lives. This is a conversation about what "law and order" actually looks like on the ground and in people - not just in the abstract. What to listen for:  Marcus's origin story for Flikshop: how his mother's daily letters and photos during his eight-year sentence became the blueprint for a company that now keeps families connected to incarcerated loved ones The moment Marcus, at 15, stood before a judge and didn't grasp what "concurrent" and "consecutive" sentences meant; he just wanted to know if he'd be home for Christmas. Why Marcus resists the word "felon" (and "inmate" and "convict")  What it was like to go through adolescence and puberty inside an adult maximum-security prison, and the moment - a conversation with a friend serving 31 years - that broke him out of denial about his own situation The "class system" Marcus describes inside prison - from commissary money to medical care to solitary confinement - and how closely it mirrors inequities on the outside His reflection on perspective as "better than courage and hope," and how prison reframed what counted as hardship The emotional toll on his mother - isolation, cost, fear - as a reminder that incarceration ripples through entire families Applying to 41 jobs and getting rejected every time before the 42nd said yes - and what that reveals about resilience versus a broken system The real cost of the "have you been convicted of a felony?" checkbox - from job and housing applications to a story about being flagged by TSA at his own construction site How Flikshop Angels grew from a gesture by John Legend into a way for kids with incarcerated parents to send selfies to their moms and dads His challenge to listeners: change the dinner table conversation first - humanizing returning citizens starts there About Marcus: Marcus Bullock is an entrepreneur, justice reform advocate, and TED speaker. Following his 2004 release from prison, he launched a construction business that grew to employ other returning citizens. Bullock is the Founder and CEO of Flikshop, Inc., a software company that builds tools to help incarcerated people stay connected to their families and build community. He also founded the Flikshop School of Business, a program that teaches returning citizens life skills and entrepreneurship via computer coding and software development. Marcus is an inaugural cohort member of Techstars Anywhere 2018 and John Legend's Unlocked Futures business accelerators. He was selected as one of The Root's 2019 100 Most Influential African Americans in the U.S. He is also a member of the Justice Policy Institute's board of directors, Advisory Board member for Princeton University's Prison Teaching Initiative, and serves as an advisor to the Georgetown University McDonough School of Business and Aspen Institute's Opportunity Youth Incentive Fund. Married with two children, Marcus' story has received coverage from Forbes, CNN, Washington Post, Black Enterprise, and NPR.  Venture: Flikshop is the tech platform that allows family members to connect easily with their incarcerated loved ones. The Flikshop app is famously known as the Instagram for prisons, allowing users the ability to send personalized pictures and messages delivered as postcards to any person in any cell in the US.

Na een paar weken ‘letterlijk’ radiostilte, zijn we weer terug met wekelijkse podcast van Jazzpodium de Tor in Enschede. In deze editie lekkere, zomerse muziek en een beetje voorpret voor het komende TOR-seizoen. Veel luisterplezier… Yellowjackets: Motet; John Legend, Richard Bona: Please Don’t Stop; Jetse de Jong: All The Fruit; Jetse de Jong and his Buckjumpers: City Won’t Do; Darmon Meader: Spain (I Can Recall) Tok Tok Tok: Walk On The Wild Side; Floriaan Wempe, Fay Claassen, Rob van Bavel, Willie Jones III, Steve Zwanink: Angel Roy; Julian Lage, John Medeski, Jorge Roeder, Kenny Wollesen: Talking Drum; Pat Metheny: Don’t Look Down.

A lot of people feel like they know who they're supposed to be, how they're supposed to show up, and what they're supposed to value, and they assume those things come from themselves instead of external influences. But we all have internalized beliefs and expectations from others, our culture, and the systems we live in. It takes a beat, sometimes a long one, to get clear on who you actually are and what is actually important to you. It requires building the kind of deep self-trust that allows you to act from your values even when the world is suggesting otherwise.And if you carry relational wounds or other interpersonal or socio-cultural burdens, those experiences can slow down or block your capacity to deepen self-trust, trust in others, grow in courage, and fully inhabit your whole story. That is not a character flaw. It is a developmental reality.My guest today models what becomes possible when you stop performing the version of yourself the world approved of and start trusting yourself and leading from that space. She is building a career and a creative practice rooted in self-trust and values alignment, and she is far from done.MILCK, born Connie K. Lim, is a self-proclaimed gentle rebel whose artistry and advocacy is fueled by her music.

Having made an indelible mark on our pop landscape with monster hits like 'Whole Again', 'The Tide is High (Get The Feeling)', and 'Be With You'; Natasha's now living her best life giving us vibrant, dance floor-ready bangers that feel both personal and, also, universally uplifting. Joel sits down with Natasha for a career-spanning chat - from her joining Atomic Kitten as a teenager and navigating the rollercoaster of the music industry ever since, with line-up changes and reunions, through to finding her voice as a solo artist. We get into 'Miss Emotional' and the time after Atomic Kitten where she worked with acclaimed hitmaker Toby Gad (who crafted hits for Beyoncé and John Legend), the Lionel Richie tour where she played bops that were never released. Justice for the limited-release dance hit 'Round and Round'!We dive into her fantastic debut EP "Extraction", the stunning visuals she has created in this universe, and her passion for working with creatives in the North West. From the angsty and emancipatory 'Numb' to the poignant storytelling of 'White Feather', and the joyous sun-kissed bops 'Garden of Eden' and 'Milk and Honey'; Miss Natasha brings the voice of experience and her warm, playful personality into everything and we are honoured to have this conversation with her.Stream "Extraction" here: https://awal.ffm.to/extractionepFollow Natasha Hamiltonhttps://www.instagram.com/natashahamilton/https://www.youtube.com/@TheNatashaHamiltonhttps://natashahamiltonofficial.comFollow Right Back At Ya!https://www.instagram.com/rightbackpod/https://twitter.com/rightbackpodhttps://www.facebook.com/rightbackpodFollow Joelhttps://www.instagram.com/dr_joelb/https://twitter.com/DR_JoelBFollow Davidhttps://www.instagram.com/lovelimmy/https://twitter.com/lovelimmyEmail us rightbackpod@gmail.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Episode #356Paul Klimson has spent more than two decades behind the scenes helping some of the biggest artists in the world sound their best. As a world-class monitor engineer and audio professional, he has worked with an extraordinary roster that includes Justin Timberlake, Drake, Madonna, John Legend, The Roots, Kelly Clarkson, Eric Clapton, and countless others. His career has taken him from international tours and major festivals to iconic television productions, including more than 900 episodes of The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon, where he helped build and manage the show's audio infrastructure and worked alongside musical guests ranging from Paul McCartney and Bruce Springsteen to Kendrick Lamar and U2.Known throughout the industry for his technical expertise, calm demeanor, and relentless work ethic, Paul has earned the trust of artists performing on the world's biggest stages. His credits span Saturday Night Live, Eurovision, the Cannes Film Festival, the Super Bowl, and multiple record-breaking world tours, including Justin Timberlake's 20/20 Experience Tour and Madonna's Celebration Tour.After what he jokingly calls his "retirement" from touring, Paul shifted his focus to building something even bigger. Alongside his wife Courtney, he founded Theory One Studios in Niles, Michigan, a state-of-the-art Dolby Atmos recording and production facility that combines vintage analog character with cutting-edge technology. The studio serves artists from around the world while also supporting the couple's broader vision for independent music creation and distribution.That vision now includes Brass Alley Live, an immersive live music venue and broadcast space currently under development, and SoulSeed.tv, a subscription-based music platform designed to put more money back into the hands of independent artists. Together, these ventures are creating a new ecosystem where musicians, crews, and creators can thrive outside traditional industry models.Paul is also the co-founder of The Roadie Clinic, a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting the physical, mental, and emotional well-being of touring professionals and their families. Much of what he is building today is designed to create sustainable funding and long-term support for the people who make live entertainment possible.Whether discussing life on the road, mixing for some of music's biggest names, building a next-generation recording studio, launching new media platforms, or reimagining how artists and crews are supported, Paul brings a rare combination of technical mastery, entrepreneurial vision, and hard-earned perspective.His motto? "Keep going, don't suck."This episode is brought to you by ETC and Pangolin

What if the most important business introduction of your life happened in a middle seat at 30,000 feet? In this episode, Carrie Waible, founder of CW and Co., shares a career that reads like a map of New York City's most iconic moments. Star-studded galas, Nobu's 20th anniversary, Donna Summer and John Legend at the Beacon Theater, Robert De Niro's charity events, and a 20-year client relationship that started with a phone call she almost said no to. None of it would have happened without a stranger on a plane named Stan Heath, a first boss named Tony who saw something in her before she did, and a client named Thomas who told a 26-year-old she should start her own company.

Toby Gad and Dave Eggar Interview (Eureka Concerts)Legendary German-born songwriter and producer Toby Gad and acclaimed crossover cellist/composer Dave Eggar have each spent decades redefining the boundaries between virtuosity, emotion, and modern popular music. Raised in a jazz-centered musical family in Munich, Gad combined classical piano training with jazz harmony and improvisation before becoming one of the most successful hitmakers of the modern pop era, writing and producing global hits including Beyoncé's “If I Were a Boy,” Fergie's “Big Girls Don't Cry,” and John Legend's “All of Me.” Eggar, a classically trained prodigy and adventurous improviser, built a remarkable career blending classical performance with jazz, rock, folk, film music, and contemporary crossover projects, collaborating with artists ranging from Coldplay, Pearl Jam, Amy Winehouse, Tony Bennett, Paul Simon and his mentor Michael Brecker.Together, their project Eureka Concerts captures the spontaneity and creative freedom that define both artists — a fully improvised musical dialogue where jazz intuition, classical sophistication, cinematic textures, and emotional storytelling collide in real time. The collaboration stands as a rare meeting of two fearless musical minds whose legendary careers continue to evolve through exploration and improvisation.For more info check out  Toby Gad at https://www.tobygad.com/ Dave Eggar https://www.domomusicgroup.com/daveeggar/Eureka Concerts https://open.spotify.com/album/0AqBO1SukqFI6SZ8IMbmni?si=eKdoOacNQMK32wplvahkSQ

In this episode, we sit down with Arianna Davis Santana, Executive Editor of Digital at the TODAY Show, to explore what it really means to build a career at the center of modern media, and what ambition looks like once you're inside it.Arianna's career spans some of the most influential names in media: from Oprah Daily (formerly O, The Oprah Magazine) to the TODAY Show, where she now leads digital strategy and editorial direction while also appearing on-air to break down what's trending online.Before that, she helped launch OprahMag.com, the fastest-growing site launch in Hearst Magazines' history, and later helped lead its evolution into Oprah Daily.  She has also shaped editorial storytelling at Refinery29, where she wrote deeply reported features and personal essays centered on culture, identity, and the lived experiences of women.Across every chapter of her career, Arianna has been inside the rooms where modern media is shaped - interviewing icons like Oprah Winfrey, Hillary Clinton, Mariah Carey, John Legend, Will Smith, and more, while also building digital platforms that define what millions of people read, watch, and share.But this conversation goes far beyond titles.We talk about:-The evolution of ambition in modern media-What success actually feels like once you achieve what you thought you wanted-Why leadership sometimes requires a little “Miranda Priestly energy”-How authenticity, kindness, and authority can coexist in powerful women-And how AI, digital culture, and storytelling are reshaping the future of mediaArianna also opens up about the deeper lessons she's learned along the way, including how career setbacks, reinvention, and visibility all shape who you become when no one is watching.At its core, this episode is about rewriting success, redefining ambition, and learning how to lead without losing yourself in the process.  Connect with Arianna:Website: https://www.ariannadavis.com/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/ariannagabLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/ariannadavis/What Would Frida Do?: https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/arianna-davis/what-would-frida-do/9781541646322/?lens=seal-pressTikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@ariannagdavisConnect with The Women On Top:Follow The Women On Top Podcast on Apple, Spotify, or anywhere you get your podcasts.  Subscribe for more empowering conversations and stories!Website: https://thewomenontop.com/YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@thewomenontop Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thewomenontoppodcast/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/valerie-lynn/

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with singer and songwriter Lila Forde for a conversation that feels like it's unfolding mid-song, equal parts instinct, craft, and heart. I actually discovered Lila in the most “Bandwich” way possible: while preparing for my episode with Larry Goldings, I heard her voice in a video and immediately texted a few musician friends saying, “You need to hear this singer.” That moment led to this conversation.Lila shares how her collaboration with Larry Goldings has been developing, and the creative process behind it: record everything, follow the spark, and build outward from the accidental moments that feel alive. Hearing her describe that approach, trusting discovery instead of forcing results, made me even more excited about what they're creating together.We spend a lot of time talking about voice, not range or technique, but identity. Lila recalls a powerful moment from John Legend during her time on The Voice: "Don't try to out-sing anyone… just be Lila." That idea opens up a deeper conversation about influence versus imitation, the pressure to fit into genre boxes, and the constant temptation to chase whatever sound the internet is rewarding in the moment.Lila's musical roots run deep, from classical piano at home to years in the Seattle Girls Choir, and later jazz studies that reshaped how she hears harmony and melody. She explains how ear training and solfege still influence her songwriting today, and why understanding just a little bit of theory can unlock creative freedom for singers.We also talk honestly about the gig-life reality that many musicians know well: some of your biggest growth happens when nobody is paying attention. For Lila, that meant years of hotel-lobby gigs, four hours a night, five nights a week, where she learned to experiment, take risks, and build a durable musical voice. We close by talking about her debut album Vessel, recorded live with the band in just three days, and how she's stepping into a bigger creative leadership role as she works on her next record.Key TakeawaysAuthenticity defines artistic voice — the goal isn't to out-sing others, but to sound like yourself.Creative discovery often comes from accidents — capturing and following spontaneous musical moments can lead to powerful ideas.Influence is different from imitation — artists grow by absorbing influences while protecting their own identity.Musical training builds creative vocabulary — ear training, harmony, and theory can open doors for singers.Gig experience shapes real musicianship — long, quiet gigs often provide the space to experiment and grow.Recording live captures energy — tracking Vessel with the band in three days preserved the immediacy of the music.Leadership evolves with each project — Lila is stepping further into the creative driver's seat with her next record.Music from the EpisodeTemptation - Lila FordeAll I Expected - Lila FordeBrick by Brick - Lila FordeAbout the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is a podcast hosted by Brad Williams, featuring conversations with musicians, composers, producers, and creative thinkers about their musical journeys.

Grammy nominated songwriter Pynk Beard (aka Sebastian Kole) chats about his extensive work as a behind-the-scenes pop creator and gives us insight into his latest country-flavored album project.  PART ONE Scott and Paul chat about their recent travels and how they find ways to make music tourism a part of any trip. PART TWO Our in-depth conversation with Pynk BeardABOUT PYNK BEARD: Pynk Beard is the artistic persona of Alabama-born Coleridge Tillman, who has already made a splash as a successful songwriter under the name Sebastian Kole. Growing up as a preacher's son in Birmingham Alabama, Pynk Beard's big break came when he contributed to “Goin' In,” which was recorded by Jennifer Lopez, featuring Flo Rida. He then signed with Motown Records as an artist and began collaborating as a writer and producer with Alessia Cara. He worked on most every track on her debut album Know-It-All, including the top 10 and multi-platinum pop hits “Here” and “Scars to Your Beautiful.” Soon after, he released his debut album as Sebastian Kole, a gospel and R&B influenced project called Soup. He continued working as a behind-the-scenes writer on songs such as “Bridges” by Fifth Harmony, “Freedom Rings” by Brandy, “Actions” by John Legend, “Time Machine” by Alicia Keys, and “Angel” by Halle Bailey, which found him collaborating with producer Neff-U and earning a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Song. His debut EP as Pynk Beard is Red Dirt Diaries, which was released in October of 2025 on Red Bull Records. A country project that embraces elements of gospel, R&B and hip hop, it's a bold new artistic direction that has quickly gained attention from fans of multiple genres.    Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

For most Black Americans, the family tree stops at a wall built by slavery. Dr. Gina Paige co-founded African Ancestry to tear down that wall. In this episode, she explains how her company uses DNA to trace Black people back to specific African countries and ethnic groups — not vague regions, not percentages, but actual present-day nations and peoples. Gina walks Simma through the science in plain language, explains why African Ancestry gets results other DNA companies can't, and talks about what happens inside people when they finally know where they come from. She also addresses the fears many Black Americans carry about genetic testing — Henrietta Lacks, Tuskegee, and who owns your DNA after you mail it in. This conversation is about identity, agency, and reclaiming what slavery tried to erase. Timestamps 02:15 — Meet Dr. Gina Paige The co-founder who started her first business at age 8 — before the internet. 04:30 — What African Ancestry actually does Tracing Black people back to specific African countries and ethnic groups before the transatlantic slave trade. 06:45 — From Colgate-Palmolive to Howard University How a corporate marketer partnered with a genetic researcher to build something that had never existed before. 09:20 — Why genealogy fails Black Americans Black people weren't counted as human beings in US records until the 1870 census. DNA is the only way back. 11:30 — The science, made simple "If your mother's yellow and your father's blue, what color are you?" How mitochondrial DNA holds the key. 14:15 — Why everyone gets "Nigeria" from other DNA tests African Ancestry has 33,000+ samples from 35 African countries. The closest competitor has 6,000 — half of them Nigerian. 17:00 — How African Ancestry is different Other companies look at the mixing. African Ancestry looks at the lines that never mixed. 19:40 — Charlamagne Tha God and Ebro's roots revealed Mende people in Sierra Leone. Masa people in Cameroon. Specific. Named. Real. 21:30 — What happens when people get their results "We don't come from people who were enslaved. We come from doctors, healers, astronomers, philosophers, kings and queens." 24:45 — Why erasing Black history is a losing game Gina on power, pride, and what oppressors don't want you to know. 27:20 — Your DNA, protected African Ancestry is the only company that cannot sell or share your genetic data. The lab is contractually required to destroy your DNA after testing. 29:50 — The 23andMe bankruptcy and what happens to your DNA Why insurance companies and pharmaceutical firms should never have access to your genetic information without your knowledge. 32:10 — Henrietta Lacks, Tuskegee, and the case for participating anyway Gina's honest answer to Black friends who refuse genetic testing out of fear. 36:00 — One test, one whole family Why Simma's sister taking the test means Simma already has her answer — and so do 25 of her cousins. 39:15 — Citizenship, name changes, and going home The 12 people who gained Sierra Leonean citizenship. The artists, authors, and families whose lives changed after one result. 42:30 — What to look for in any at-home DNA test Gina's three rules before you spit in a tube or swab your cheek.

“A mark of an intelligent person is humility. If you have the right amount of humility, then you're seeking out knowledge from others rather than thinking you're going to invent something new. It's really about executing well on ideas.” — Deborah Kenny When her husband died of leukemia, leaving her a single mother of three small children, Deborah Kenny read Viktor Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning. She discovered her own meaning not in what she could get out of life, but what life was asking of her. And so she founded the Harlem Village Academies — a collection of K-12 charter schools in New York offering both free Montessori and the International Baccalaureate education. Kenny's new book, The Well-Educated Child, is the distillation of what she's learned in twenty-five years as a teacher. But it's simply summarized. Read books, she instructs. The more the better. Kenny's three-part definition of a well-educated child — quality thinking, agency, ethical purpose — requires reading fifty books a year. She did it with her own three children after her husband died — the closet door coming off its hinges and exiled in the garage for five years because she didn't have the time to call a handyman. But her kids fell in love with reading. And she's done the same with every cohort at the Harlem Village Academies over the last quarter century. The crisis in American education isn't primarily a crisis of resources, Kenny says. It's a crisis of will. Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning changed Deborah Kenny's life. If you want to change your kid's life, get them reading. A book a week. That's how to nurture not just a well-educated child but a responsible citizen. Five Takeaways •       Viktor Frankl and the Question That Changed Everything: After her husband died of leukemia, leaving her a single mother of three young children, Kenny read Frankl's Man's Search for Meaning and found the question she'd been looking for: not what life has to offer you, but what is life asking of you. Her answer was to found the Harlem Village Academies — five charter schools in Harlem offering Montessori and the International Baccalaureate free of charge. The origin story matters because the book's argument isn't abstract. Kenny has lived it, as a grieving parent and as an educator, for twenty-five years. •       Fifty Books a Year: Kids should be reading fifty books a year — at least an hour a day — and this should never change. Not passages, not graphic novels, not summaries: books. Great books that have stood the test of time, alongside books children get to choose for themselves. Kenny did it with her own three children after her husband died — the closet door came off its hinges and stayed in the garage for five years because she didn't have time to call a handyman, but her kids fell in love with reading. She has done it with every cohort at the Harlem Village Academies for twenty years. It is not unrealistic. It is essential. •       If You Can't Argue the Other Side, You Don't Understand the Issue: Kenny's X post that caught Andrew's attention. Socratic seminar — the ability to argue a position you disagree with, back it up with evidence, and then live in the same community as the person you just defeated — is not a pedagogical technique. It's the definition of democracy. The polarisation crisis is, at its root, an education crisis. Elected officials no longer need to solve problems; they only need to stoke tribal loyalties. The fix is teaching children to enjoy disagreement — to take pride in an intellectually rigorous argument rather than treating opposition as hostility. •       Pay Teachers Like Doctors: The Harlem Village Academies are the only schools in New York State offering both Montessori and the International Baccalaureate, free of charge. They run on teacher dedication that, Kenny admits, is not fair to the teachers and is not scalable. Her honest answer: if we want this level of education for everyone, we have to pay teachers like doctors and lawyers — three, four, six times what they currently earn. Teaching should be the hardest profession to enter and the most respected. The fact that it isn't is not an argument against the vision. It's an argument for changing the system. •       Humility Is the Mark of an Intelligent Person: Kenny's educational philosophy borrows rather than invents. Montessori, the International Baccalaureate, Socratic seminar, the great books — none of these are new. She chose them precisely because they have stood the test of time. The mark of an intelligent person, she argues, is humility: if you have the right amount of it, you seek out knowledge from others rather than assuming you're going to invent something better. The job is not to innovate. The job is to execute well on what we already know works — with the will and the consistency to actually do it. About the Guest Dr. Deborah Kenny is the founder and CEO of Harlem Village Academies and the founder of the Deeper Learning Institute. She is the author of The Well-Educated Child (Zando, April 21, 2026), with a foreword by John Legend, and Born to Rise (2012). She holds a PhD from Columbia University Teachers College. References: •       The Well-Educated Child by Dr. Deborah Kenny (Zando, April 21, 2026). •       Man's Search for Meaning by Viktor Frankl — the book that changed Kenny's life and led to the founding of Harlem Village Academies. •       Episode 2873: Sophie Haigney on agency, Silicon Valley, and the high-agency ideology — the companion argument to Kenny's more constructive take on the same word. About Keen On America Nobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen.

We are so excited to kick off our Interviews at Sea series with DAWES! We had the chance to talk to brothers Taylor and Griffin Goldsmith aboard Cayamo: A Journey Through Song during their 18th voyage in March 2026 in front of a packed audience. The guys have been performing as Dawes since 2009, but the band has been a duo since their 2024 album, 'Oh Brother.' The Goldsmiths have been singing and playing together their whole lives inspired by their musician father, Lenny Goldsmith, who toured as the lead singer of Tower of Power in the 1980s. Taylor was never told it was hard to play guitar or sing, so he just did it. He always knew he wanted to be a professional musician. We talk about the ways his musical career turned out as not quite what he had expected. We also touch on how their singing has evolved over the course of their lives together. Both Taylor and Griff are fathers, so of course we asked about the freedom that comes with priorities changing in their lives and careers – as well as what toys they may have regretted ever letting their kids have.One thing following Dawes around for the past year is the aftermath of the January 2025 Eaton Fire in Los Angeles. Both brothers and their parents suffered immense loss due to the flames sweeping through Altadena, destroying thousands of homes and causing over 30 deaths. Griffin's son was born two weeks after the fire, a month early. Dawes became the musical face of the disaster with an emotional performance on 'Jimmy Kimmel Live!' and opening the GRAMMYs with Randy Newman's “I Love LA” with a veritable supergroup: Sheryl Crow, Brad Paisley, Brittany Howard, St. Vincent, and John Legend. The brothers get into what the experience taught them about healing and reaching a place where this tragedy does not define them. We hear a bit about Taylor's love of collecting first editions and his fear of the comment section and we wrap up with a fun "Which One?" lightning round.

Not everyone gets the happy childhood or strong family they dreamed of. Dr. John Trent, founder of StrongFamilies, grew up without ever knowing his father until later in life. The pain and confusion from that absence shaped his early years — until a godly man stepped into his life and introduced him to Jesus. But the trials didn't stop there. Years later, John faced one of a father's greatest fears — a wayward daughter. Through unwavering love, persistent prayer, and trust in God, he fought for restoration… and saw it happen. This is a powerful story of redemption, forgiveness, healing, and legacy — proof that God can turn deep brokenness into blessing.

Greg Wells is a Grammy-winning and Oscar-nominated record producer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and mix engineer who was recently made a Member of the Order of Canada. He sits down with Tom Power to talk about his early days playing in k.d. lang's band, producing and writing hits for artists like Adele, John Legend, Ariana Grande, Celine Dion and Taylor Swift, and why he's spent the last few years converting an old church in rural Newfoundland into a community music hub.

Send us Fan MailCan't leave too much of this one out in public, but here's a taste of the whole show! In this explosive episode, supermodel and Epstein insider Barbara Adler is back and she has stories about the Hollywood elite that will make your jaw drop — and I mean DROP — Dana and Barbara uncover ties between David Copperfield, David Blaine, and Jeffrey Epstein unlike anything you've heard before, including why David Copperfield just quietly walked away from his 25-year Las Vegas residency and what the Epstein files say about what he and Epstein may have been doing together with young models from Elite Model Management. Barbara Adler was inside this world and what she witnessed firsthand about the modeling industry's darkest figures — there was the shocking Look of the Year judge panel that included Donald Trump, David Copperfield, and sexual predator Patrick Demarchelier — will make you rethink everything. We're also getting into Paris Hilton stories from someone who was in the inner circle — the parties, the clique, the people nobody talks about including Rick Solomon, Kim Stewart, Cisco Adler, Misha Barton, and a Benicio del Toro bombshell. Then Harvey Weinstein tried the wrong move on Barbara at Bungalow 8 — and wait until you hear who showed up to rescue her and what happened on the way out the door involving Lindsay Lohan, a bag, and Page Six. We're also covering Diddy and something Barbara witnessed on a boat in St. Tropez before his show that I genuinely cannot believe and Chrissy Teigen's name showing up in the Epstein black book plus what John Legend said about her that nobody is talking about. Plus Gerald Marie the head of Elite Paris and his connection to Linda Evangelista, Carrie Otis, and a lawsuit tied directly back to Epstein — and Barbara's own agent Faith Cates at Next Model Management and what The Guardian just exposed about kickbacks and Jean-Luc Brunel owning 25% of her agency. This one goes deep and it connects dots that will genuinely shock you.TO LISTEN TO THIS EPISODE IN IT'S ENTIRETY GO HERE: https://www.patreon.com/cw/DishingDramaWithDanaWilkeySupport the showDana is on Cameo!Follow Dana: @Wilkey_Dana$25,000 Song - Apple Music$25,000 Song - SpotifyTo support the show and listen to full episodes, become a member on PatreonTo send Dana information, show requests and sponsorships reach out to our new email: dishingdramadana@gmail.comDana's YouTube Channel

Does she sound like Adele, Billie Eilish, or Ella Fitzgerald? Glenn can't pick just one in this very special, music-filled edition of "The Glenn Beck Podcast" with rising star Emma Nissen. From the night B.B. King hit on Glenn's wife to Emma wiping her runny nose right before shaking John Legend's hand, the stories flow between live renditions of Emma's songs. She reveals how a hemorrhaging vocal cord forced her out of college, led her to serve God in Sweden during COVID, and ultimately birthed her first song. She then unpacks the limits of contemporary Christian music, what's missing in Taylor Swift's love songs, and how “Jesus and jazz” is the sound the next generation has been craving. With searing honesty, she opens up about her battles with anxiety, eating disorders, and body dysmorphia — and the cognitive shift that finally allowed her to declare, “I am beautiful.” Sit back and enjoy the sound of the next generation's Jesus music: full of unpredictable scat, unbounded joy, and the still, small voice of God.         GLENN'S SPONSORS:                 Home Title Lock: Go to https://hometitlelock.com/glennbeck and use promo code GLENN to get a FREE title history report and a FREE TRIAL of Triple Lock Protection!
