Podcast appearances and mentions of Kanye West

Welcome to Whiskey Ginger, a Wave Series. Presented by FanDuel. Irish comedian James Donald Forbes McCann joins Andrew Santino on Whiskey Ginger for one of the wildest episodes yet. James shares his unfiltered take on the wonders of America, what happened to Hollywood and why nothing gets made in LA anymore, and his bold plan for fixing American cities. Plus Kanye West made a surprise appearance at the Comedy Store and James was there. And in a moment he'll never live down, Ms. Pat publicly humiliated him in the best way possible.

This week, the AI industry continues its speedrun toward becoming the tech equivalent of a late-stage casino. Elon Musk insists reports of aid-cut-related deaths don't exist despite mountains of evidence, SpaceX stock slides far enough to knock him out of the trillionaire club, and a startup is literally suing the U.S. government because Anthropic's Fable 5 model got turned off after three whole days of availability. Once again, we revisit the First Commandment of Grumpy Old Geeks: never build your company on someone else's platform.Meanwhile, gas stations are being accused of using AI to coordinate prices, corporations are discovering that AI tokens cost actual money, and a Microsoft researcher used goats in Age of Empires II to demonstrate that maybe, just maybe, people are projecting way too much intelligence onto chatbots. The goats emerge with their reputations intact. The AI industry, less so.The workforce bloodbath rolls on as Oracle quietly sheds 21,000 employees while blaming AI, Norway bans generative AI for elementary school students after discovering that children should probably learn to read before outsourcing their homework to robots, and the FCC flirts with rules that could effectively kill anonymous burner phones in the name of fighting scams. Over at Meta, an employee surveillance program accidentally exposed sensitive data to the entire company because of course it did, while Zuckerberg continues his relentless quest to strap cameras to everyone's face and call it progress. Add in YouTube settling another social-media-harm case, Chrome finally kneecapping traditional ad blockers, and prediction markets spreading across tech like mold in a college apartment, and it's becoming increasingly clear that every bad idea eventually gets funded.In transportation news, autonomous vehicles continue demonstrating that "mostly works" is not a reassuring phrase when attached to two tons of moving metal. A Tesla on Autopilot crashes into a home and kills a grandmother, Rivian faces lawsuits over self-driving promises its hardware allegedly can't fulfill, and Waymo recalls thousands of robotaxis after they developed an unfortunate habit of driving into closed freeway construction zones. Elsewhere, Elon and Bezos are eyeing billions in broadband subsidies, Polymarket is accused of paying influencers to fake betting videos and climate data archivists are preserving public information from political interference.Media recommendations include The Mandalorian, Silo, Strange New Worlds, Dungeon Crawler Carl, and a reminder that Firefox may soon be the last refuge for people who enjoy both the internet and ad blockers. Some weeks the future feels exciting. This week it mostly feels like an extended warranty scam.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.Private Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

What happens when you combine the greatest traits from the greatest rappers of all time?In this episode of the Ern and Iso Podcast, we take on one of the biggest debates in hip-hop history: What would the perfect rapper look like?We build the ultimate artist from the ground up by selecting the best qualities from some of the culture's most iconic names. From Nas' lyrical genius and Fabolous' effortless flow to Kanye West's creativity, Jay-Z's business mind, Drake's hit-making ability, Black Thought's freestyle skills, and more, we create a rapper unlike anything hip-hop has ever seen.Along the way, we debate:

This week was supposed to be fun and lighthearted, instead we're dragged into a dark and twisted tale of unspeakable acts. We're of course talking about Mystikal and his hit single Shake Ya Ass, released July 18, 2000.

In this solo episode, Dee Kei walks through exactly what a mixing session looks like from the moment he sits down to the moment the file goes out — no guests, no theory, just the real process he uses on every project.He covers why the very first listen always happens before a single plugin is touched, how he organizes and gain stages a session before anything else, and the order in which he builds a mix and why. He also gets into his philosophy on plugin chains, how he actually uses reference tracks without chasing them, and how he knows when his ears have stopped telling him the truth. The episode wraps with his delivery routine — what the final check looks like, how he communicates with clients on send, and why the follow-up step most engineers skip is more important than they think.If you've ever wanted to look over Dee Kei's shoulder during a real session, this is the closest thing to it.SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PATREON FOR EXCLUSIVE CONTENT!⁠SUBSCRIBE TO YOUTUBE⁠Join the ‘Mixing Music Podcast' Discord!HIRE DEE KEIHIRE LU⁠HIRE JAMES⁠Find Dee Kei and Lu on Social Media:Instagram: @DeeKeiMixes @MasteredbyLu @JamesParrishMixesTwitter: @DeeKeiMixes @MasteredbyLuThe Mixing Music Podcast is sponsored by ⁠Izotope⁠, ⁠Antares (Auto Tune)⁠, Sweetwater, ⁠Plugin Boutique⁠, ⁠Lauten Audio⁠, ⁠Filepass⁠, & ⁠Canva⁠The Mixing Music Podcast is a video and audio series on the art of music production and post-production.

The AI hype train keeps shedding wheels this week. KPMG managed to publish a report about the transformative power of AI that was apparently riddled with hallucinations, fake citations, and imaginary products, proving once again that asking a stochastic parrot to do your homework is not a substitute for actual research. Meanwhile, Americans are using AI faster than ever while trusting it less than ever, OpenAI somehow turned $13 billion in revenue into losses that would make a dot-com CFO blush, and Silicon Valley CEOs have quietly stopped promising to replace all workers with AI. Not because they've changed their minds, mind you, just because they discovered that telling employees they're obsolete is terrible for morale and stock prices. Add in protests dogging Google CEO Sundar Pichai, Meta employees revolting against soul-crushing AI evaluation work, and the message is clear: the future is here, and everyone involved seems miserable.We then return to one of the founding principles of Grumpy Old Geeks: never build your house on somebody else's land. Anthropic learned that lesson the hard way when its AI models reportedly got caught in a geopolitical and regulatory tug-of-war involving Amazon, the U.S. government, and national security concerns. World leaders are now openly questioning whether American AI platforms can be trusted if access can be revoked overnight. The same platform-risk story pops up again as Meta launches AI-powered search across Facebook's oceans of questionable user-generated content. Remember kids: when you pitch your tent in someone else's backyard, don't act shocked when they turn on the sprinklers.From the Injustice Files, the hits keep coming. The Atlantic revealed the staggering scale of copyrighted music used to train AI systems, Hollywood inches closer to becoming a monopoly-themed amusement park, and the DOJ is backing xAI in a pollution lawsuit while reports emerge that Grok-assisted systems played a role in military operations. Elon keeps collecting legal losses, SpaceX buys Cursor for an eye-watering $60 billion, and Trump is threatening French wine over tech taxes while simultaneously promoting crypto through a UFC event at the White House. We wrap with Britain banning social media for kids under 16, hackers stealing entire Roblox games, Fox buying Roku, the return of human narrators at Blinkist, a gloriously anti-social-media flip phone from Commodore, and a reminder that Star Trek: Strange New Worlds is still one of the few things keeping the future worth looking forward to.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.Shopify - Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial today at Shopify.com/grumpyPrivate Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.

This week the art world descends on Basel, a Swiss city on the Rhine River, where the latest edition of the world's most important modern and contemporary art fair is taking place. We're talking about Art Basel, of course. Its 290 exhibitors include all the top galleries of the world. It's a place where you can see and buy museum-quality Picassos and Warhols next to still-wet-paint by emerging artists, though there's not as many of those lately. Major collectors like Don and Mera Rubell are there, and so are celebrities like Kanye West and James Franco. At the center of it all is Noah Horowitz, who has been CEO of Art Basel since 2022. Noah and senior writer, Katya Kazakina, have known each other for years, throughout which he has stood at the helm of various art fairs, starting with the first online art fair called VIP in 2010. In 2011 he became the executive director of the Armory Show in New York and remained in that role for almost four years until 2015. He then advanced to Art Basel, becoming its head of the Americas, which put him in charge of Art Basel Miami Beach, the largest contemporary art fair in the United States. In 2021 Sotheby's hired Noah to lead the gallery and private dealer services worldwide, but he stayed for just a year before returning to Art Basel triumphantly as its chief executive. Noah is also the author of the book Art of the Deal: Contemporary Art in a Global Financial Market, published in 2011. For many years, Art Basel ran three art fairs, the original one in Basel, second one in Miami Beach, and the third one in Hong Kong, but in the last couple of years it added a fourth fair in Paris, and just this year another one in Qatar, raising questions about its expansion model and sustainability. It also introduced a new platform, Zero 10, for digital art, and the Art Basel Awards. Noah and Katya discussed the changing art market, digital art, and the strain art fairs place on mid-tier galleries.

‘Sekend joins Target Talk to talk about the long road behind the music, from growing up as a pastor's son and singing in church to studying at Berklee and slowly stepping into his own identity as an artist. He reflects on what church gave him, how he first started taking singing seriously, and why creating a clear separation between Cedric Jackson II and ‘Sekend became important once the music started feeling fully his.We also get into the move to LA, how he landed with Kanye West's Sunday Service, and what that experience taught him about performance, preparation, and thinking bigger. Plus, ‘Sekend talks Helluva Night, the live show behind it, and why this next chapter feels like the right time to put even more of himself out front.Follow him: @worldofsekend

I thought I'd re-publish this one for any of the heads who missed it first time round.He doesn't really need an introduction round here — one half of the production team behind Jurassic 5, and honestly one of the best DJs I've ever seen live. I got Nu-Mark on to talk about his new book Amunu, which is part Persian cookbook, part memoir, part travel guide, and really a celebration of togetherness — family, food and music all woven together. What I love is how much ground we covered getting there.He told me about the mum who raised him with total freedom (and who, 24 years ago, told him to start making Middle Eastern beats — advice he's only just taken), about growing up half-Iranian in the States during the hostage crisis, and about buying 20,000 records for $500 as a teenager, a haul that ended up powering 85–90% of those early J5 productions. We got deep into the group: how it became Jurassic 5 when there were six of them, why he refused the single deal that everyone else signed, the fact that the UK recognised them before the US would, and the whole first EP being made on an eight-track. He's wonderfully honest about confidence too — something he says he's still working on — and about losing his father, and how it was putting his dad's old records on that finally let him cry. We finish on Lesson 6, two record collections meant to meet, and the kebabs-on-site book launch in LA. A proper one, this.In this episode:His mum, Nowruz, and the Middle Eastern beats advice he ignored for 24 yearsGrowing up half-Iranian during the Iran hostage crisisThe alphabetised 35,000-record collection (and the $500 haul of 20,000 records that built J5)Making peace with a tough upbringing, and music as therapyLosing his father, and the records that brought it outDrumming, Brazilian rhythm, and house parties that ended on slow jamsBum Rush Productions, $2 on the door and the 40 ounce posseWhy it's Jurassic 5 when there were six of themTurning down the Blunt single deal — and signing Kanye at Correct RecordsThe chemistry with Cut Chemist, and the art-first philosophyBreaking in the UK before the US, and touring like a rock bandRetaining the publishing, the long life of "What's Golden", and a surprise Pandora hitThe whole first EP made on an eight-trackThe Interscope era alongside Dre, Eminem and 50 Cent, and the Scott Storch sessionsGoing solo with the toy set, and building his own ecosystemHow Amunu came together — and the LA launch

Join Here:⁠⁠ ⁠⁠https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0K⁠⁠ In this segment of Notorious Mass Effect, Analytic Dreamz delivers a deep breakdown of the Kanye West “Silver Night (Седая Ночь)” AI viral phenomenon that took over the internet in 2026.Analytic Dreamz explores how fan-made AI voice-cloning technology created a convincing English-language version of the Russian 90s classic “Седая Ночь” originally performed by Yuri Shatunov of Laskovyy May. The segment covers the track's explosive spread across YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, and Russian platforms, featuring creators like August Septemberov and Davuiside.Listeners will hear about the most popular versions — including the 1.9 million-view “Live at SoFi Stadium” upload, rapid GANG remixes, club edits, and deep-house variations — paired with real Kanye concert footage. The discussion examines why it reached No. 1 on Global Shazam, outperformed major artists, and generated tens of millions of combined views despite being completely unofficial.Analytic Dreamz also analyzes the cultural crossover between Kanye's style and Russian nostalgia, its real-world impact including Jason Derulo playing it in Moscow, and what this AI trend reveals about music discovery in 2026.Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

Kanye West isn't just an artist... he's nine different artists wearing one name. From The College Dropout to Donda, his career is one of the most complex, contradictory, and culturally significant in music history. So which song actually defines him? On this episode of Cash The Record, host John Cash applies his five-rule framework... cultural shift, instant DNA, career pivot, longevity, and public identity... to break down Kanye's discography era by era. We cover the soul-sampling years, the emotional reinvention of 808s & Heartbreak, the masterpiece that is My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, the chaos of Yeezus, and the unpredictable brilliance of The Life of Pablo. Then comes the elimination round... where fan favorites like "Stronger," "Gold Digger," "POWER," and "Runaway" all get cut, each with a reason that might surprise you. And in a moment we're calling the Devil's Advocate, John admits the song that almost changed his entire verdict. This episode also tackles the question most music shows avoid: can you separate the art from the artist? We don't give you the answer... but we give you the framework to think it through for yourself. Whether you're a day one Kanye fan or you've only ever heard "Gold Digger" at a wedding, this episode will change how you think about his catalog... and probably make you want to fight about it. New episodes of Cash The Record drop every 3rd Wednesday of the month. Subscribe so you don't miss the next one — it's going to be even bigger.

Ep 168This week on The Stem Society, Cole Jackson breaks down the latest lawsuit and allegations involving Kanye West and asks whether hip-hop fans have become too willing to ignore serious accusations when they involve their favorite artists.Cole also reacts to Savon's claims that Elliott Wilson owes him $20,000 and discusses why turning personal business disputes into podcast content might be a bigger problem for hip-hop media than people realize.

An in-depth retrospective analysis of one of the most polarizing yet highly influential eras in modern music history. The episode chronicles the perfect storm of personal tragedy and creative isolation that forced Kanye West away from his triumphant, stadium-status "Graduation" sound and into a bleak, electronic wilderness. It breaks down how the sudden, devastating passing of his mother, Donda West, combined with the painful breakdown of his long-term engagement to Alexis Phifer, left the superstar in a state of severe emotional distress. Unable to communicate his grief through traditional hip-hop lyricism, West turned his back on soulful samples and triumphant braggadocio, pivoting instead to a stark, minimalist landscape driven by the Roland TR-808 drum machine and heavy, distorted Auto-Tune.The report unpacks the initial heavy backlash and widespread confusion from the hip-hop community upon the album's 2008 release, where critics and fans alike questioned his vocal choices and the abandonment of pure rap elements. However, the episode shifts its focus to the profound legacy of this transition, proving how "The Road Leading To 808s" ultimately built the foundation for the entire modern wave of melodic, vulnerable, and emotionally driven hip-hop. By examining the album's cold, synth-heavy production and raw, exposed lyricism, the documentary style breakdown illustrates how West's personal heartbreak normalized vulnerability in a historically hyper-masculine genre, directly clearing a path for future superstars like Drake, Kid Cudi, Juice WRLD, and Lil Uzi Vert.

In this solo episode, Dee Kei gets honest about something nobody in the audio world really wants to say out loud — talent is the most common thing in this industry, and it's rarely what separates the engineers who are thriving from the ones who are struggling. After years of working alongside incredibly gifted mixers who can't keep the lights on, and watching others with average ears build sustainable careers, the pattern is clear: the gap isn't in the DAW.Dee breaks down the real reasons talented engineers stay stuck — from waiting until they feel "ready," to undercharging out of insecurity, to treating their craft like a hobby instead of a business. He talks about the trap of being busy without being strategic, what it actually takes to build a referral pipeline, and why isolation might be the most career-limiting thing a mixer can do.This one is a mindset episode, but it's also practical. Every point has a fix — and none of them require you to get better at mixing.SUBSCRIBE TO OUR PATREON FOR EXCLUSIVE CONTENT!⁠SUBSCRIBE TO YOUTUBE⁠Join the ‘Mixing Music Podcast' Discord!HIRE DEE KEIHIRE LU⁠HIRE JAMES⁠Find Dee Kei and Lu on Social Media:Instagram: @DeeKeiMixes @MasteredbyLu @JamesParrishMixesTwitter: @DeeKeiMixes @MasteredbyLuThe Mixing Music Podcast is sponsored by ⁠Izotope⁠, ⁠Antares (Auto Tune)⁠, Sweetwater, ⁠Plugin Boutique⁠, ⁠Lauten Audio⁠, ⁠Filepass⁠, & ⁠Canva⁠The Mixing Music Podcast is a video and audio series on the art of music production and post-production.

Gonzo journalist and writer John Safran on why he decided to squat in a Hollywood mansion belonging to Kanye West.John Safran has made a career out of getting into places he probably shouldn't be, from breaking into Disney Land, to infiltrating fascist strongholds in Australia.A couple of years ago, one of his journalistic expeditions saw him squatting in an abandoned Hollywood mansion belonging Kanye West.John had seen a clip of the hip hop start denying the Holocaust, defending Adolf Hitler, and claiming that Black people cannot be anti-Semitic because they are actually Jewish.His week writing and snooping in this strange house, with no running water and a vulture in the roof, made John go increasingly loopy as he tried to understand what pushed this critically acclaimed artist from celebrity eccentric to seriously 'out there'.This episode of Conversations was first broadcast in 2024It explores Kanye West, Judaism, antisemitism, Hollywood, hip hop, Christianity, Nazism, racism, hip hop, squatting, the Donda Academy, journalism, Adidas, money, fame, documentary, writing, the Holocaust, mental health, celebrity, mansionsFurther informationSquat is published by Penguin.

Who's Headlining Anyway presented by The Comedy Zone is back — Jordan Centry and Jonathan Williams (@MrWilliamsComedy) broke in and did the podcast without Jason Allen King. So, this might not be the best episode to listen to. Tune in next week when Jason is back. Also, court is pending. Jordan saw someone on the way to the recording hitting the pipe and then saw people playing frisbee. Charlotte is multitudes but it is not New York. The guys discuss the New York Knicks. And Trump's attendance. Could this loss be his fault on some level? The hierarchy of bills. The millennial notion of not checking the mailbox is a real thing. Alex King and Sean Kett are getting some love from Charlotte, Axios and Blair. The influencer discussion continues. Would you rather…wealth is often an answer but how you get it is more complicated.

The Rapper Ye, formerly know as Kanye West is returning to Chicago to perform concerts on September 3rd and 4th. Ye generated several controversies when he started making antisemitic and bigoted remarks in 2022. Last January, Ye took out a full-page ad in The Wall Street Journal to apologize for the comments. However, his concerts in France, Italy and Poland this year have been cancelled, citing concerns over Ye's alleged antisemitism.

Episode 750 arrives with a simple reminder: the bullshit never sleeps. This week Jason and Brian dive headfirst into a game of Douchebag Ping Pong featuring OpenAI, Anthropic, Elon Musk, and the rest of the AI industrial complex. OpenAI is preparing to go public while simultaneously transforming ChatGPT into an everything app, Anthropic wants the world to slow down AI development before Skynet shows up for work, and then immediately releases a more powerful model because apparently self-awareness only goes so far. Meanwhile, Sam Altman's eyeball-scanning side hustle is laying people off, proving that convincing humans to hand over their biometric data remains a surprisingly difficult sales pitch.The AI arms race gets even weirder as SpaceX unveils plans for orbital data centers the size of flying football fields while Google and Anthropic shovel billions into Elon's compute empire just to keep their models fed. On Earth, Seattle is trying to ban new AI data centers before they drink the city dry, Meta is planting AI infrastructure in India, Google is slashing Gemini prices, and a Mississippi judge discovers that lawyers on both sides of a case used AI to invent legal citations, resulting in the rare spectacle of artificial stupidity arguing against itself. Thankfully, AI also manages to do something useful, helping researchers develop a promising universal vaccine and reminding us that not every machine-learning story ends with humanity getting harvested for electricity.Elsewhere, crypto continues its transformation into performance art as Sam Bankman-Fried seeks a presidential pardon while reports suggest the Trump family made billions from crypto projects that left investors holding the bag. Meta gets caught quietly experimenting with face recognition in smart glasses, lawmakers scramble to require recording indicators, and Snapchat tightens protections for younger users. The guys also celebrate Apple's shockingly competent Sports app, a rare piece of software that simply does the thing it's supposed to do without trying to become your therapist, financial advisor, or AI life coach. Plus: Ghostbusters returns, Devil May Cry gets another season, Bill Burr takes on Facebook in The Social Reckoning, and a look at why Silicon Valley's newest luxury service appears to be paying actual humans for conversation.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.CleanMyMac - Get Tidy Today!

From slithering into the top Ivy League with help from his corrupt father, to being one of NYC's most soulless slumlords, to his abhorrent handling of COVID and his Middle East meddling under his father-in-law, this may be one of our more notorious nepo-baby guys yet.For a closed-captioned version of this episode, click here.

This week on Grumpy Old Geeks, Brian and Jason once again survey the smoldering wreckage of the tech industry and discover that the people building the future are increasingly being sued by governments, publishers, customers, employees, and occasionally reality itself. California is coming after 23andMe over its catastrophic data breach, Florida is taking a swing at OpenAI, CNN has joined the ever-growing conga line of companies suing Perplexity, and Meta somehow decided the solution to improving AI is recording employees' every mouse click while generously allowing them a whole 30-minute privacy break. Meanwhile, Google's own engineers are sharing memes about how much Google's AI tools suck, Microsoft apparently wants users addicted to its new AI assistant - first taste's free! - and Anthropic is preparing to go public with a valuation that makes even the most irrational dot-com era investor look financially responsible.The AI arms race continues producing exactly the kinds of outcomes you'd expect when venture capitalists start huffing their own press releases. Instagram's AI support bot reportedly helped hackers steal accounts because apparently "Are you sure you're the owner?" was considered an optional step. Suno raised another $400 million while fighting copyright lawsuits, Paramount+ seems to have let AI create the ugliest Star Trek thumbnail in Federation history, and Stan Lee has now been digitally resurrected because modern capitalism looked at death and said, "Nice try." Over in transportation, BYD is so confident in its self-driving technology that it's willing to pay for your accidents, while Tesla owners are discovering their old Full Self-Driving contracts may have quietly received software updates of the legal variety. Somewhere in a conference room, a lawyer just whispered, "Let's not put that in writing," ten years too late.Elsewhere, governments worldwide continue their ongoing experiment of raising children by confiscating smartphones. Malaysia has implemented a social media ban for kids under 16, Poland wants phones and smartwatches locked away at school, and Kentucky schools just collected $27 million from social media companies accused of building products as addictive as cigarettes.Dave Bittner drops by for a visit and we discuss Spotify listeners apparently preferring old music because new music keeps getting algorithmically focus-grouped into oblivion and a healthy dose of Star Wars, Downton Abbey, Derry Girls, Lego, books, gadgets, and AI-generated jazz. Add it all up and you've got another week where the only thing moving faster than technology is the legal department trying to keep up.Sponsors:DeleteMe - Get 20% off your DeleteMe plan when you go to JoinDeleteMe.com/GOG and use promo code GOG at checkout.Shopify - Sign up for your one-dollar-per-month trial today at Shopify.com/grumpyPrivate Internet Access - Go to GOG.Show/vpn and sign up today.
