Patrick answers heartfelt listener questions about confession, conversion, and moral choices, offering practical advice and personal anecdotes along the way; he addresses anxieties about sin and grace, helps a father concerned about his daughter’s interest in a Mormon classmate, and keeps the atmosphere lively with cheerful exchanges about music, childhood summers, humorous listener recordings, and fond remembrances of icons like Elvis and John Lennon. Unexpectedly, young Clare calls in and sparks a thoughtful yet accessible conversation about the many titles given to Mary. The episode pulses with energy, wit, and an unfiltered sincerity as Patrick moves between urgent spiritual topics and moments of genuine delight. Travis (email) - Is it possible for me to avoid hell if I were to die unexpectedly before I'm able to make a good confession? Patrick explains how to make a good confession (and encourages folks to use Relevant Radio App’s confession helper) (00:47) Rebecca (email) – Have I have committed a mortal sin? (14:35) Joe - I have a 15-year-old daughter who is interested in dating a Mormon boy. Is this harmless? (23:05) Clare (10-years-old) - Why does Mary have so many names? (35:36)
Patrick brings listeners through childhood Beatles memories, uncanny coincidences, and the ripple effects music has on family life while fielding questions about Catholic prayer, door-to-door missionaries, and engaging stories of faith discovery. Stories move quickly from John Lennon collectibles and quirky mobile ads to practical apologetics and lively advice about handling unexpected guests intent on conversion. Humor and thoughtful insight intermingle as Patrick tackles repetition in prayer and faith journeys, giving the hour a rhythm that keeps listeners on their toes. Glen shares his John Lennon story (00:31) Patrick shares the first time he talked with Mormon Missionaries (09:33) Aimee (email) – There was a very disturbing ad on one of the games I play on my phone (13:18) Valerie (email) – I’ve never heard anyone in the media discuss how the Beatle Invasion impacted families in this country. (21:59) Josiah - I am not Catholic, but I am curious about Catholic prayer. Can you explain how Catholics legitimize repetitive prayer in light of Matthew 6? (37:41) Kelly - I had Mormons come to my house and I was 7th day Adventist, and I asked about the Sabbath, and they needed to bring in an elder and told me I wasn't allowed to talk to them anymore. (43:33)

La réinvention dʹun génie de la pop. 1969. "Jʹétais un demi-dieu, aujourd'hui je suis un chômeur" Paul McCartney fait ce constat amer après la séparation des Beatles. Tandis que John Lennon fait la couverture du Time, Paul devient le méchant de l'histoire. Sans groupe, sans argent, détesté de tous, il trouve néanmoins la force de se reconstruire grâce à l'amour de sa femme Linda, de ses filles et de ses amis fidèles. Un bijou graphique d'Hervé Bourhis, pop et mélancolique, comme une bonne chanson du grand Paul. Hervé Bourhis, scénariste, dessinateur de BD et illustrateur est lʹinvité de Rafael Wolf.
Bret McKenzie now mainly works on movie soundtracks, the Simpsons, Minecraft and the Muppets among them, which brings the pure delight of hearing his songs sung by Lady Gaga, Benedict Cumberbatch, Miss Piggy and Tony Bennett. He talks here about his early life in Wellington (ballet teacher Mum, racehorse trainer Dad), narrative comedy, songwriting heroes and his new album Freak Out City, and unravels New Zealand's double-edged sense of humour. Along with … … how Randy Newman pitches songs for soundtracks … “the test of a good song works is if it works with just one instrument” … lyrics he loved growing up like 16 Tons by Tennessee Ernie Ford – ‘Some people say a man is made out of mud/ A poor man's made out of muscle and blood' … Morrissey's wounded reaction to his sausage-firing Quilloughby on the Simpsons ‘Panic On The Streets Of Springfield' ... solving the “fun puzzles” of a song brief and writing for “donkeys who have a dream” … the ingenious humour of John Prine, Harry Nilsson and Leonard Cohen … the moment in his live shows where he asks the audience for a story and creates a song around it – “one woman suggested ‘falling out of love' with her husband standing right beside her” ... playing the local girls schools aged 15 as the drummer in a James Brown funk band … reworking rejected songs – “which was hard with one from Paddington with its multiple rhymes for marmalade and Peru” … Flight Of The Conchords lampooning the acts they loved (Bowie, Pet Shop Boys) and playing the O2 – “pretending to be a stadium band and the audience pretending to be a stadium audience” … live on-stage application of the John Lennon “pomegranate” lyric-solving technique … “Play like a used car salesman!

For this episode we're joined by the excellent Val Mabbs, who talks to us about writing for Record Mirror in the late '60s and early '70s. We start with our guest's early life as a mod in Hertfordshire – and her memories of seeing the Who/the High Numbers in 1964/5. Val then explains how she got her foot in the door at the Mirror and recalls colleagues such as Norman Jopling, Charlie Gillett and Lon Goddard, not forgetting Peter Jones, the editor who first spotted her potential as an interviewer. Val talks us through her encounters with such legends as Jimi Hendrix, John Lennon and Marc Bolan (not to mention Status Quo, for whose double-denim "outfits" she can take indirect credit). En passant we hear clips from Chris Welch's 2005 audio interview with John Walker, surely the handsomest of the three Walker "Brothers" he first met in 1965. After Barney gives a nod to the week's free feature about Bob Dylan "going electric" at 1965's Newport Folk Festival, Val resumes her story and brings us up to the present day. We also pay tribute to the late Ozzy Osbourne and discuss the real origins of heavy metal. Finally, Mark and Jasper talk us out with remarks on newly-added library pieces about Graham Nash (1967), Lady Gaga (2012) and Billie Eilish (2019). Many thanks to special guest Val Mabbs. Pieces discussed: Jimi Hendrix: "Western Movie For Jimi" Says The Man Himself, T. Rex: Marc's science fiction film, John and Yoko: The Apple and the Grapefruit, The Walker Brothers' John Walker audio, Al Kooper: The On the Tracks Interview, How Bob Dylan And The Holy Trinity Changed Music Forever, Scene of the Crime: Bob Dylan at Newport, Elijah Wald: Dylan Goes Electric! Newport, Seeger, Dylan and the Night That Split the '60s, Black Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne: How Black Was My Sabbath, Ozzy Osbourne: Lord of the Wings, The Hollies: The change in Graham, Lady Gaga: The most extraordinary popstar Mark Ellen has ever met and Billie Eilish at Reading Festival.

Send us a textJoin Cheryl Lee - That Radio Chick on STILL ROCKIN' IT for news, reviews, music and interviews with some of our favourite Australian musiciansAshley Naylor defies expectations. With a musical résumé spanning decades and featuring collaborations with Australian music royalty, he somehow manages to be both ubiquitous and humble in equal measure. In this intimate conversation, we discover how one of rock's busiest guitarists balances his creative life.When scrolling through Ashley's social media, the sheer volume of his musical commitments is exhausting—Hendrix tributes at Cherry Bar, Bowie celebrations at the Odeon, performances with The Church, Paul Kelly tours, and the list goes on. "I have to keep playing, otherwise you'll lose your touch," he explains with characteristic understatement, revealing the disciplined professional beneath the laid-back demeanor. Recently serving as music director for the John Lennon tribute "Give Peace a Chance," Ashley brings the same meticulous attention to coordinating others that he applies to his own musical endeavors.The most exciting revelation comes with discussion of "Alexandria Sunset," Ashley's first solo album in over a decade, where he plays and sings every note himself. "While I've got my faculties, I'll do a record where I can play everything on it," he says, explaining his approach to capturing songs when they're fresh rather than creating separate demos. Drawing inspiration from 60s and 70s rock, especially evident in his Donovan-influenced dreamy tracks, Ashley continues crafting music that feels simultaneously nostalgic and relevant. And in true Ashley Naylor fashion, he's simultaneously working on three separate album projects.Discover the music, methodology, and mindset of a guitarist whose relentless creativity and humble approach to collaboration have made him one of Australia's most respected musicians. Follow Ashley on social media and pre-order his new album through Bandcamp now.What has Ash Naylor been up to lately?

Glenn shares his journey from becoming a regular Marvel Comics writer, penning stories for iconic titles like The Spectacular Spider-Man, The Rampaging Hulk, The Silver Surfer, and Dracula, to his transition into broader entertainment writing.

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 28ú lá de mí Iúil, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1984 tháinig an rialtas amach le plean chun treoirlíne a thabhairt isteach ionas go mbeadh na fórsaí slándála a bheith ábalta gach rud a fheiceáil ar ghuthán. I 1990 bhí na tiománaí bus ag bagrach stailc I nGaillimh, agus dá mbeidís chun é a dhéanamh bheadh tionchar ar 10 míle paisinéirí. I 1979 bhí coiste deoiseach á bhunú sa chontae de bharr go raibh Pope John Paul ag teacht. I 1984 bhí na Gardaí in Inis ag fiosrú ar ghadaíocht de 246 punt ón seomra gléasta de Pháirc Chíosóg. Sin Irene Cara le Fame – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1982. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1964 chuaigh The Beatles chuig an tSualainn don dara huair agus chan siad ag dhá cheolchoirm I Stócólm. I rith an chéad cheolchoirm fuair Paul McCartney agus John Lennon turraing leictreach ó mhicreafón. I 1987 tháinig Kylie Minogue amach le hamhrán a scríobh Gerry Goffin agus Carole King. Tháinig sí amach leis an amhrán The Loco-Motion san Astráil mar a chéad amhrán. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh Harry Kane sa Bhreatain I 1993 agus rugadh amhránaí Soulja Boy I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 1990 agus seo chuid de amhrán. Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 28th of July, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1990: A threatened strike by bus drivers in Galway, which would have effected 10,000 passengers was deferred. 1984: The government planned to introduce legal guidelines on telephone tapping by security forces. 1984: Ennis Gardaí were investigating the theft of £246 in cash from the dressing rooms of Cusack Park. 1979: A special Diocesan Committee was reported to be set up in Clare to arrange for the historic visit of Pope John Paul. That was Irene Cara with Fame – the biggest song on this day in 1982 Onto music news on this day In 1964 On their second visit to Sweden, The Beatles played two shows at an ice hockey arena, the Johanneshovs Isstadion, Stockholm. During the first show, both Paul McCartney and John Lennon received mild electrical shocks from ungrounded microphones. 1987 Kylie Minogue released a cover version of the Gerry Goffin and Carole King penned song 'The Loco-Motion' in Australia, as her debut single. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – Footballer Harry Kane was born in the UK in 1993 and rapper Soulja Boy was born in America on this day in 1990 and this is one of his songs. I'll be back with you tomorrow with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.
Piergiorgio Odifreddi, prende spunto dalla celebre “Imagine” di John Lennon per domandarsi se e possibile un Occidente differente da quello che conosciamo. Ma prima di immaginare cosa potrebbe essere, con estremo e spesso crudo realismo, e necessario riconoscere ciò che l'Occidente è oggi.Scomparsa di molte di forme di sussidiarietà e di solidarietà, militarismo, stati che rischiano di diventare propaggine di macchine burocratiche o di potentati economici, crisi della libertà di stampa come sintomo di un generale offuscamento dello spirito critico: tutto ciò è quello che nel suo recente libro Odifreddi definisce il marcio dell'Occidente. Marcio che va riconosciuto senza tuttavia rassegnarvisi. Il filosofo sogna che l'Occidente, uscendo dalla crisi che lo attraversa, possa finalmente lavorare per il FIL, il Tasso di Felicita Interna Lorda.************************************************Assessorato alla cultura del comune di Bastia Umbra. 22 marzo 2025 ,Cinema Teatro Esperia.

From the moment John Lennon was gunned down in New York City to the tragic death of Princess Diana that stopped the world in its tracks or the shock of losing Kobe Bryant in a sudden helicopter crash. Now the world once again mourns as news breaks of the death of Ozzy Osbourne. Each time a celebrity passes the world seems to pause as the tributes pour in, candles are lit, songs are sung, murals painted and social media is flooded with grief, nostalgia and questions that never seem to find answers. Why does it hit us so hard when someone we've never met dies? Why do millions grieve a stranger? Someone who in many cases represented lifestyles and worldviews completely at odds with biblical truth. More importantly, what does God's Word say about life, death, legacy and eternity?

We present the first of two episodes in the lead-up to Antony's upcoming milestone birthday. The main part of this episode features extracts from the first two sections of Matt Haig's excellent and popular 2015 book ‘Reasons To Stay Alive'.

RIP to The Prince of Darkness. A rock singer with the rare power to scare us, charm us or make us laugh at any given moment. Today we give Ozzy a proper send off with an official IWOL ranking and we also dig a little deeper into John Lennon's Lost Weekend, an event that Ozzy would have probably enjoyed ;)
There's knowing The Beatles, and then there's knowing how George likes his hair done. Leslie Cavendish is one of the few people in the world who can lay claim to the latter. And in his book, "The Cutting Edge," he details his work and friendship with the Fab Four. From The Magical Mystery Tour to the final performance on the top of Apple Records, Leslie was there. "The Cutting Edge," by Leslie Cavendish is available right now from Barnes and Noble, and you can get signed copies (and learn more about his personal guided tours of London) from his website.Plus, we bid farewell to the one and only Prince of Darkness.
Our original Life and Afterlife episode featuring John Lennon was one of the first episodes we produced, all the way back in December of 2014. We were intrigued, not only by his life and death, but by the many ghost stories featuring him that popped up after his death. He has been gone for 44 years and was assassinated when we were both under the age of 10. We didn't realize at the time that we had lost a musical legend in an unexpected way outside of a hotel in New York City near Central Park. This was The Dakota and we paid it a visit in 2020 when we visited New York City. Stories of it and the area around it being haunted by Lennon have been told for decades. Did Lennon sell his soul so The Beatles would attain their fame? Why was he gunned down? And is he still hanging around in the afterlife? Join us for the life and afterlife of John Lennon.

Guest and HostGuest: Cindy Hulej, Luthier/Artist | Website: https://www.cindyguitars.com/Host: Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast & Music Evolves Podcast | Website: https://www.seanmartin.com/Show NotesWhat happens when the story of a city becomes part of the music we make? In this episode of Music Evolves, host Sean Martin sits down with luthier and artist Cindy Hulej of Cindy Guitars to explore how reclaimed wood from historic New York buildings is transformed into custom electric guitars—each one uniquely shaped by memory, material, and imagination.Craft as InnovationCindy's process at Carmine Street Guitars isn't just about building instruments—it's about listening to what the material has to say. The beams salvaged from landmarks like the Chelsea Hotel and John Lennon's former home aren't just structural—they carry decades of vibration, weather, and presence. That physical history directly shapes how these guitars sound, feel, and resonate—offering a kind of analog innovation rooted in human touch and intention.Cindy describes how she and her husband Johnny repurpose old beams, often salvaged from 1800s-era buildings, and transform them into guitars that are not only playable but deeply resonant—physically and emotionally. The aged wood, shaped by centuries of seasonal change, yields a tone that's warm and chimey, with a resonance modern lumber can't match. “You're working with material that's already lived a hundred lives,” she explains. “You just have to unlock the next one.”Creativity Beyond ConventionEach guitar is made by hand, down to the smallest detail. From collaborating with boutique pickup winders to mixing finishes from shellac flakes, Cindy builds instruments that are both sonic and visual statements. No two are alike—because the creative process isn't about repeating perfection, it's about shaping something personal and alive. Whether players come with a precise vision or just a feeling, Cindy helps translate that into tone and form.Reimagining the Past to Shape the FutureThis isn't just about guitars. It's about the convergence of history, artistry, community, and sound. This episode challenges the idea that innovation must come from new tech or flashy trends. Sometimes, the most meaningful advances come from rethinking old materials and techniques.Cindy's guitars are a form of living history—reminding us that sound isn't just produced, it's inherited, interpreted, and carried forward. And, Cindy's path from bartending to building some of the most soulful instruments in New York is a reminder that craft isn't just skill—it's commitment to meaning.About Rick Kelly and Carmine Street GuitarsCarmine Street Guitars, located in New York City's Greenwich Village, is a hand-built electric guitar workshop led by legendary luthier Rick Kelly. Known for using reclaimed old-growth wood from historic buildings across the city, Rick has built instruments for renowned musicians such as Lou Reed, Patti Smith, Bob Dylan, and many others. His approach blends time-honored techniques with a reverence for the city's past, crafting guitars that are as storied as the musicians who play them. At the heart of the shop's ethos is a commitment to individuality, craftsmanship, and sonic integrity—values continued today through Cindy Guitars and the growing creative community within the space.SponsorsAre you interested in sponsoring this show or placing an ad in the podcast?Sponsorship
Show Notes: December 8th, 1980. New York City. John Lennon is gunned down outside The Dakota, and the world loses a Beatle. When police arrest his killer, Mark David Chapman, they find him carrying a copy of The Catcher in the Rye—a book that, for him, blurred the lines between fiction and murder. In this episode of Taboo Treasures, we explore the haunting artifact at the center of this infamous crime. From the history of The Beatles and J.D. Salinger's iconic novel to Chapman's obsession and New York's dark night, we unpack the symbolism of that paperback. We'll also follow the journey of this chilling collectible—right to the auction block.

Today:May Pang dated John Lennon in her early 20s, and has the photos to prove it. She joins us to discuss her new pop-up art installation, featuring photos of their time together, in Cambridge, titled The Lost Weekend: The Photography of May Pang.And, public bar advocates in Massachusetts get paid less than in surrounding states to represent indigent clients. They've been on strike for better pay since late May, and some people charged with violent crimes are being released because their court proceedings can't continue without representation. We talk with two of the striking lawyers: Mara Dolan and Jennifer O'Brien.

In the late seventies, Studio 54 was the place to be for musicians and celebrities alike. John Lennon, Mick Jagger, Michael Jackson, Bruce Springsteen and others all famously hung out at the notorious club where hedonism was part of the venue's allure. The success of Studio 54 was sudden and massive, resulting in mountains of cash, cocaine, jealousy, revenge, an FBI raid, and an ironic ending for one of its owners.

What do J.D. Salinger's Catcher in the Rye and the Holy Bible have in common? They both contain explicit instructions to kill John Lennon—or at least, according to Mark David Chapman, they do. And guess what? Chapman's been up to some stuff since that fateful day in 1980 when he snuffed out the life of the quote-unquote “Smart” Beatle. In this episode, the boys find out exactly what the fame-hungry murderer has been up to since our original coverage of him in Episode 315 on the Last Podcast on the Left—which includes being denied parole a grand total of THIRTEEN TIMES. Maybe he should've given peace a chance, huh?
