A mustache, a North Carolina accent, and an impossibly high vocal range walk into a podcast studio – or more specifically, John Morgan walks in, bringing all three plus two recent #1 country hits to the conversation.Morgan's journey reads like a Nashville fairy tale with an unexpected beginning. A chance meeting with songwriter John Edwards during an Uber ride led to a reconnection at Lucky Brand Jeans where Morgan was working. From there, a string of serendipitous events connected him with Jason Aldean's team, launching a career that's seen remarkable success in record time.The conversation reveals how Morgan co-wrote "If I Didn't Love You," which became a massive hit for Aldean and Carrie Underwood. With disarming candor, he shares the rush of writing the song in a single evening as album deadlines loomed. "I didn't realize it would be a career-changing song," he admits, a testament to how quickly fortunes can change in Music City.Between laughs and whiskey toasts, Morgan opens up about the surreal experience of touring with Aldean, including a hilarious moment when he "dribbled a little bit" after unexpectedly being called to sing a challenging high note in front of 30,000 fans. These stories paint a picture of the genuine relationships that have fueled his success – relationships that began with skepticism ("All of a sudden Aldean's calling? I don't think I believed it at first") and evolved into genuine creative partnerships.Now balancing his skyrocketing career with being a father to three children under three years old, Morgan embodies the modern country artist – talented, hardworking, and refreshingly down-to-earth. "I've never had more to work for in my life," he reflects, capturing the drive that's taken him from playing in his father's woodworking shop to celebrating multiple #1 hits in a single month.Ready to hear what authentic country talent sounds like?

One standout, “Kid Myself,” reflects on the painful choice to leave behind everything he knew—his family, family business, his hometown and hometown love, plus the comfort of small-town life—for the unknown in Nashville. Today, he’s married with three kids under three and living a life that once felt like a dream. His story is proof that taking a leap of faith can lead to something truly incredible.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Paris-London Connection is the most shocking yet factual book written on the 1997 Paris crash that took the lives of Princess Diana and her lover, Dodi Fayed. This fast-moving but authoritative narrative covers the events leading up to and following the tragedy. The book is a short, quick read, under 200 pages, but is a bombshell because it closely follows the evidence and forensic analysis included in the 5,000 pages of the Diana Inquest book series. That series draws together the evidence from the French investigation, the British Operation Paget investigation, the 2007-8 London inquest and hundreds of British police documents not shown to the inquest jury. Members of Britain?s royal family, MI6 officers and agents, senior French police personnel and Western intelligence agencies all played a role in the events in Paris. Exposed for the first time is the specific role of the key senior MI6 officer, Sherard Cowper-Coles. The book reveals the people who ordered the assassination of Diana and Dodi and those who carried out the operation and how they did it. It also shows how the authorities covered up what occurred and the significant connection between events in France and the UK, both before and after the crash. 27 inquest witnesses, both French and British, who committed perjury at the London inquest are named for the first time. Paris-London Connection reveals the level of coordinated state-authorised corruption in the conduct of the French and British police investigations and the inquest headed by Lord Justice Scott Baker. This is the long awaited book that uses the actual witness and documentary evidence to reveal the who, how and why of the assassination of Britains much-loved Princess Diana. John Morgan is author of the Diana Inquest book series. Prominent British QC, Michael Mansfield, who served at the London inquest, has said: I have no doubt that the volumes written by John Morgan will come to be regarded as the Magnum Opus on the crash ... and the cover-up that followed. Mohamed Al Fayed, who lost his son Dodi in the crash, has stated: I believe that John Morgan has done more to expose the facts of this case than the police in France and BritainBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.
