In this inspiring episode of American Potential, host David From sits down with James Whitford, founder of True Charity in Joplin, Missouri. What began as a heartfelt effort to serve the homeless through Watered Gardens Ministry became a journey of discovery about what truly helps people escape poverty. Whitford shares how he realized that one-way charity—simply giving without accountability—was trapping people in dependency rather than setting them free. His transformative model focuses on restoring dignity through work, reciprocity, and personal responsibility, helping individuals rediscover their worth and potential. Now, through True Charity, Whitford is teaching nonprofits and churches nationwide how to move from relief to empowerment. He explains why America faces a “crisis of dependency,” how toxic charity has taken root in both public and private aid, and how local organizations can lead a national shift toward outcomes-driven, privately funded, work-oriented solutions. This episode is a powerful reminder that real compassion doesn't just meet needs—it unleashes potential.

Episode 428 of Friends Talking Nerdy is a celebration of women who didn't just rock the stage but bent the rules of the game, reshaped culture, and left scorch marks on the history of music. Professor Aubrey and Tim the Nerd dive into their favorite women rock and roll stars, not just rattling off names but unpacking what made these artists lightning rods for change.The conversation moves track by track like a lovingly curated mixtape, which they made availble on YouTube. They start with Pat Benatar's anthemic “We Belong,” discussing how Benatar combined powerhouse vocals with a sense of vulnerability that made her a radio staple without softening her edge. From there, they barrel into the raw energy of Janis Joplin's “Move Over,” talking about how Joplin embodied a feral, unapologetic energy that made her voice feel like a declaration of war. Kathleen Hanna and Le Tigre's “Much Finer” prompts Aubrey to bring in the riot grrrl movement, with Tim marveling at how Hanna's blend of activism and art feels more vital now than ever.When Jefferson Airplane's “Somebody to Love” comes up, they highlight Grace Slick's psychedelic snarl and how she stood toe-to-toe with the male counterculture icons of her era. Joan Jett's “Bad Reputation” naturally gets both of them fired up—Tim noting how Jett weaponized punk's simplicity, while Aubrey points out that her career longevity is proof she wasn't just a “bad girl” novelty. They lean into Stevie Nicks' “Edge of Seventeen,” marveling at her voice's mythic qualities and the way she carved out her own witchy rock persona that still resonates across generations.From The Pretenders' “Back on the Chain Gang” to Blondie's “One Way or Another,” the hosts highlight the unique blend of grit and sophistication Chrissie Hynde and Debbie Harry brought to the table. Tina Turner's “Private Dancer” inspires a passionate sidebar on resilience, survival, and the way Turner reinvented herself against impossible odds. And Hole's “Celebrity Skin” brings the discussion full circle, with Aubrey making the case that Courtney Love's voice—half sneer, half scream—was a necessary counterweight to the sanitized pop machine of the late ‘90s.After the amps cool down, the duo pivot to television, giving their first impressions of South Park's Season 27 debut. They note how the new season takes aim at the current American political landscape with a sharpness and weird clarity the show hasn't always nailed in recent years. Tim points out that the difference between South Park's take on the first Trump Administration years and now is like night and day—back then, the writers seemed shell-shocked, unsure how to lampoon chaos that already felt like satire. Professor Aubrey adds that the new season feels more like the show's golden years, where cultural absurdity is filtered through the bizarre but laser-focused worldview of four Colorado kids. Together, they agree that this season might mark a creative resurgence for the long-running series.The episode balances music history and cultural commentary with the usual Friends Talking Nerdy flavor—part nerdy scholarship, part passionate fan energy. By the end, listeners get both a playlist of iconic women who changed the sound of rock forever and a thoughtful dive into how South Park still finds a way to speak to the strange moment we're all living through.As always, we wish to thank Christopher Lazarek for his wonderful theme song.

What if something as simple as a pulled pork sandwich could remind people they aren't forgotten? In this episode of Your Biggest Breakthrough, we sit down with Stan Hays, co-founder of Operation Barbecue Relief, whose story began in the aftermath of the devastating Joplin tornado. What started with a few smokers in a parking lot has now grown into an organization that's served over 13 million meals in disaster zones and communities in need.We loved this conversation because it's not just about barbecue, it's about faith in action, taking that first step without having all the answers, and discovering your “why” through serving others. You'll hear how God used ordinary skills and a willing heart to meet extraordinary needs, and how something as simple as food can unify people, restore hope, and remind them of love.If you've ever wondered how to find your purpose, where to start serving, or whether your gifts really matter, this episode is for you. Stan's story will challenge you, inspire you, and encourage you that God can use your passion, no matter what it is, to change lives.

Gratitude is not just a feeling—it's a habit we can intentionally build. In a world filled with stress, burnout, anxiety, loss, and constant uncertainty, gratitude reshapes our mindset, strengthens relationships, and grounds us in faith. Drawing from Paul's letters, the pastor reminds us that even in chaos and suffering, gratitude is an act of worship that brings resilience, peace, and hope beyond circumstances.Stay connected with Hope Church Memphis:Website • HopeChurchMemphis.comInstagram • @Hope4MemphisTikTok • @Hope4MemphisFacebook • @Hope4MemphisPrayer • HopeChurchMemphis.com/PrayerGiving • HopeChurchMemphis.com/Give

Pastor Joplin begins a series in this first installment examining the 7 things Jesus spoke from the cross.

Josh Joplin isn't one to dwell on past glories, but there was a time when he was chasing songs worldwide. In 2001, his breakout single "Camera One" became the first independently released song to hit #1 at Triple A Top 40, landing Josh Joplin Group on Artemis Records—a label that boasted acts as varied as J. Mascis, Warren Zevon, The Pretenders, and, yes, the "Who Let the Dogs Out" hitmakers, The Baha Men. ("Camera One" may not have unleashed any canines, but it did land a spot on the cult classic tv show Scrubs.) Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In 1968 while Joplin, Hendrix, the Doors and Jefferson Airplane were singing about sex, drugs and rock ‘n' roll, Bobby Goldsboro was singing about “Honey.” After a career in which he sold more than 35 million records, hosted a national TV show, wrote six best-selling children's books and produced a national PBS show, you'd think the almost 85 year old Goldsboro would be winding down. Think again.Bobby Goldsboro was born in the small town of Marianna, Florida. Growing up in a modest setting, he discovered a love for music at an early age. By the time he was a teenager, he was already playing guitar and dreaming about a life in the spotlight. After high school, Bobby attended University but quickly found himself drawn more to music than academics. That passion led him to join a band called The Webs—the first real stepping stone to his career.The Webs were talented enough to catch the attention of rock legend Roy Orbison. In 1962, Orbison invited the band to back him on tour. Bobby suddenly found himself on the road with one of the most iconic voices in rock history, gaining invaluable experience. For two years, he traveled the world with Orbison, honing his skills and learning the ins and outs of the music business. In 1964, Bobby launched his solo career, and his very first single, “See the Funny Little Clown,” became a hit. The song shot into the Top 10 and introduced his unique, heartfelt vocal style to the world. More singles followed that proved he wasn't a one-hit wonder. Everything changed in 1968 with the release of “Honey.” The emotional ballad tells the story of a man grieving the loss of his wife. Goldsboro's tender delivery turned it into a cultural phenomenon. The song spent five weeks at No. 1 and became one of the decade's best-selling singles, topping charts worldwide. Love it or find it schmultzy “Honey” defined Bobby Goldsboro's career and remains his signature song.Though “Honey” was his biggest success, Bobby continued to deliver memorable music. Songs like “Summer (The First Time)” and “Watching Scotty Grow” touched audiences everywhere. Bobby's tracks showcased his versatility, blending country, pop, and folk influences while always keeping the storytelling front and centre.During the '70s, Bobby expanded his career beyond the recording studio. He became the host of The Bobby Goldsboro Show, a syndicated musical variety program that ran for several years. It highlighted his warmth, charm, and sense of humour—qualities that endeared him to audiences far beyond his music.As the '80s rolled in, Bobby gradually stepped away from the spotlight of hit records and touring. But creativity still flowed. He turned his attention to painting, creating detailed wildlife and landscape art that quickly gained recognition. Collectors admired his work, and he established himself as a respected visual artist.He also ventured into children's programming, producing the animated series The Swamp Critters of Lost Lagoon.What makes Bobby Goldsboro special is the emotional connection he forges with his audience. He has a rare ability to capture universal feelings in simple, beautiful ways. His soft, vulnerable voice made listeners feel like he was singing directly to them, a gift that explains why his songs have endured for so long.Today, Bobby Goldsboro may no longer dominate the charts, but his influence is undeniable. He continues to paint, create, and inspire, while fans old and new revisit his music with appreciation. His career is a reminder that creativity comes in many forms and that an artist's legacy isn't defined by a single moment, but by a lifetime of work.Tune in to hear Bobby relive the story of his career and let him take you back to your youth, to a time when his songs dominated the charts.Please reach out to me with any comments or feedback through the website https://www.abreathoffreshair.com.au

Josh Joplin isn't one to dwell on past glories, but there was a time when he was chasing songs worldwide. In 2001, his breakout single "Camera One" became the first independently released song to hit #1 at Triple A Top 40, landing Josh Joplin Group on Artemis Records—a label that boasted acts as varied as J. Mascis, Warren Zevon, The Pretenders, and, yes, the "Who Let the Dogs Out" hitmakers, The Baha Men. ("Camera One" may not have unleashed any canines, but it did land a spot on the cult classic tv show Scrubs.) Joplin followed with The Future That Was (2002), produced by Rob Gal (Magnapop, Rock-a-Teens), and later earned critical praise for Jaywalker, Among the Oak & Ash, and Devil Ship. Now, after years of collaborating with friends and fellow musicians, he returns with his latest album, GpYr ("gap year"). Spin Magazine says GpYr is "a collection of pop-infused gems that, with help of producer Lorenzo Wolff (Taylor Swift's Midnights and Folklore), captures the raw energy of Joplin's earlier works...but with the musical and lyrical layers of the older, wiser musician Joplin has become." More than just a record, GpYr is a sonic scrapbook—a story of four friends who, over one unforgettable summer and autumn, came together for a mission: to rescue Seely from a therapeutic boarding facility in remote New England. In saving her, they saved each other. While the Josh Joplin Group will celebrate the 25th anniversary of Useful Music—the album some say started it all–it's Joplin's “new album that reminds us all of how far we've come.” (Spin Magazine) Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on That Would Be Rad, we're heading into the heart of a real-life catastrophe and the enduring mystery it birthed: The Butterfly People of Joplin, Missouri.On May 22, 2011, an EF5 tornado tore through Joplin—one of the deadliest and costliest in U.S. history. In the storm's wake, survivors (especially children) began telling eerily similar stories: glowing, winged figures who shielded them from debris, guided them to safety, and then vanished.From roadside rescues and ditch-side miracles to a teenager who later found butterflies drawn to her like a living halo, we unpack the most compelling accounts—plus the city's response, including the Butterfly Effect: Dreams Take Flight mural that turned grief into symbol and story.We dig into everything from firsthand narratives and angel folklore to deeper frameworks like the Third Man Factor (the “mysterious helper” reported by mountaineers and disaster survivors), and we trace parallels in other crises and legends.And at the end, Woody and Tyler lay out their theories—are these guardian angels, trauma-born protectors of the mind, something paranormal… or a combination that says as much about us as it does about the unknown?Whether you're a believer, a skeptic, or just fascinated by how humans find meaning in the unexplainable, this episode blends chills, heart, and hope in classic RAD fashion.So dim the lights, listen for the wind, and join us as we step into the storm—and the stories that refuse to let go.Mentioned in this episode:– The 2011 Joplin EF5 tornado (context & timeline)– Children's “butterfly people” encounters: car flips, ditch shelters, open-field protection– The Morgan family “green rug” mystery & the brown-haired figure– The church basement rescue by “six large men”– Emily Huddleston's recovery and the butterflies that “wouldn't leave her alone”– Butterfly Effect: Dreams Take Flight mural (community remembrance)– The Third Man Factor & disaster-helper parallelsGot a story like this?

email: rockpoprollpodcast@gmail.com website: www.rockpopandroll.com (Some of) My Favorite Covers: From the earliest days of rock and roll, cover songs have been a vital part of the music's forward movement, drawing on its past. Long before we knew about digital discovery, one of the fastest ways for new artists to connect with audiences was to reimagine an existing hit and put it on an album or 45—infusing it with their own style, energy, and attitude. A Chuck Berry riff might get filtered through the Beatles' harmonies, or an old blues song could get a new spin in the hands of the Rolling Stones. Musicians have always looked back to reinterpret the songs that shaped them, essentially creating a conversation across decades of music. Great rock and roll covers often redefine the song. Jimi Hendrix's “All Along the Watchtower” transformed Bob Dylan's stark folk ballad into a guitar-rock, psychedelic stomper. Aretha Franklin took Otis Redding's “Respect” and made it a soul-rock anthem of empowerment. Nirvana's raw take on David Bowie's "The Man Who Sold the World" introduced the track to an entirely new audience. In each case, the cover didn't just honor the original—it expanded its reach. The best covers don't just repeat the past—they rewrite it, proving that a great song can live many lives. 10 Iconic Rock and Roll Covers and How They Transformed the Original Jimi Hendrix – All Along the Watchtower (1968) Originally by Bob Dylan, Hendrix electrified the song with guitars and redefined it as a rock classic. Dylan himself later performed it in Hendrix's style. The Beatles – Twist and Shout (1963) Originally recorded by The Top Notes and popularized by The Isley Brothers, the Beatles turned it into their own via John Lennon's famously shredded vocal take. Aretha Franklin – Respect (1967) Originally by Otis Redding, Aretha flipped the perspective, injecting it with feminist firepower, gospel-inspired vocals, and made it an anthem for empowerment and equality. The Rolling Stones – Little Red Rooster (1964) Originally by Willie Dixon (recorded by Howlin' Wolf), the Stones slowed it down, leaning into the deep Chicago blues feel, introducing American blues to a younger audience. Nirvana – The Man Who Sold the World (1993) Originally by David Bowie, Nirvana's MTV Unplugged version stripped it to a haunting acoustic vibe that resonated with '90s alternative fans - and (re)introduced Bowie to them, Joe Cocker – With a Little Help from My Friends (1968) Originally by The Beatles, Cocker turned the Sgt. Pepper and Ringo song into a soulful, slow-burning rocker.  Killer organ and gospel vocals. Janis Joplin – Piece of My Heart (1968) Originally by Erma Franklin, Joplin's version with Big Brother and the Holding Company was a raw and bluesy. The Clash – I Fought the Law (1979) Written in 1958 and first released in 1960 by The Crickets (after Buddy Holly left) and popularized by The Bobby Fuller Four, The Clash injected punk. It was their first single in the United States. Creedence Clearwater Revival – I Heard It Through the Grapevine (1970) Originally by Gladys Knight & The Pips and made famous by Marvin Gaye, CCR turned the Motown hit into an 11-minute swamp-rock jam. Jeff Buckley – Hallelujah (1994) Originally by Leonard Cohen, Buckley's haunting performance influenced artists in the decades that followed. Further Listening: 4 Lesser-Known but Brilliant Beatles Covers The Black Keys – She Said, She Said (2002) A gritty, stripped-down garage-rock take on The Beatles' psychedelic classic from Revolver. Siouxsie and the Banshees – Dear Prudence (1983) The Beatles' ballad morphs in goth-tinged new wave.. Gov't Mule – She Said, She Said / Tomorrow Never Knows (1998) A jam-band fusion of two Beatles tracks Fiona Apple – Across the Universe (1998) Slowed to a languid pace, Apple leans into the cosmic melancholy
