For many years Amil Niazi burned with professional ambition, she reached for it every day and was determined to find success. But even in moments of external success, she began to fall out of love with the corporate rat race. She began looking inward, and began to question if she would ever find fulfillment in the world of promotions and job titles. This is the journey she reflects on in her new book Life After Ambition. Plus, musician Sarah Kae shares what she's been reading.Books discussed on this week's show include:How to Do Nothing by Jenny OdellDaughter by Claudia DeyA Ballet of Lepers by Leonard Cohen

The iconic folk duo met at an audition for the only country music band at a prestigious jazz school in Boston. They immediately clicked, and joined the rich lineage of Americana artists that stretches back centuries.In their 20s, Gillian Welch and David Rawlings discovered they had something special when they sang together, a sort of eerie emotional resonance that is usually confined to the blood harmonies produced when siblings sing together.Ever since they've been making music together which draws on the bluegrass, country and folk traditions they love.In their historic recording studio in Nashville, Tennessee (which has withstood three tornadoes in the last century), they craft haunting songs about the ugly and beautiful parts of humanity.For Gill and Dave, the DNA of folk music is something we can all contribute to, and which contributes to all of us.Gillian Welch and David Rawlings are currently touring Australia's eastern states. You can find information about where and when they are playing on their website.Their seventh studio album is called Woodland, named after their indestructible studio.This episode of Conversations was produced by Meggie Morris.

Interview with singer songwriter Robert Deeble. Born in 1966 in Long Beach, California, Robert cut his teeth as a songwriter in the gritty underground of the LBC, which introduced him to longtime collaborators like drummer Stephen Hodges (Mike Watt/Tom Waits) and folk heroine Victoria Williams, who helped launch his early records. His 1998 release, EarthSide Down, earned notice for its orchestral textures and spirit- infused lyrics—reminiscent of Leonard Cohen and Nick Drake. By his third album, Paste had described him as “truly an arresting talent, able to gain entry to places rarely imagined by most songwriters. Following his This Bar Has No One Left EP in 2005, Deeble completed a Master's degree in psychology—a journey that has deeply informed his songwriting and emotional perspective. His 2012 album Heart Like Feathers marked his musical return, with themes of Robert Deeble - Bio depression and struggle but with “a redemptive hope that brought glimmers of light (Performer Magazine).” Robert emerged again in 2018, with one of his more personal works, Beloved. Born from his experience of fostering and then adopting a child with his wife, the album captures the agony and tenderness of temporarily caring for a child, the heartbreak of letting her go, and, finally, becoming her parent. Robert's recordings over the years have featured such industry veterans as Rachel Blumberg (The Decemberists), Jen Wood (The Postal Service), Tomo Nakayama and others. He has shared bills with artists such as Low, IDA, Jason Molina, Sam Phillips, M. Ward, Over the Rhine, Mike Watt, Damien Jurado, David Bazan and Victoria Williams. The Space Between Us shows Deeble to be a craftsman of understated, emotionally resonant songwriting. Or as Bandcamp put it, "Every new record from Seattle musician Robert Deeble is like stumbling across some secret grotto.

On this week's episode, we're joined by Ron Sexsmith, Canadian singer, songwriter, master melodist, and one of the most quietly revered writers of his generation. From discovering a dusty box of records under his family stereo as a child, from doo-wop, Johnny Cash, The Everly Brothers, and Buddy Holly's It Doesn't Matter Anymore. Ron's lifelong relationship with song began early. That Buddy Holly record, in particular, ignited something profound: melody, mortality, and the magic of songwriting all colliding at once. From there came The Beatles, The Kinks, Elton John, country music, Leonard Cohen and, ultimately, Gordon Lightfoot, the songwriter who showed him that you didn't have to be a rock star to move people. You could just stand still and sing the truth. We talk about the moment everything changed at 21, when becoming a father sparked a songwriting frenzy that led to Speak with the Angel and set his career in motion. Ron reflects on finding his own voice over time, a voice fully realised by the time of Retriever, and the craft behind his songs: the structural worries, the demoing process, knowing when a lyric has said enough, and why he still believes in the album as a complete, living statement. We also dive into his fiercely independent “no co-writing” rule for his own records, his deep admiration for writers like Ray Davies and Gilbert O'Sullivan.From touring relentlessly to curating deeply personal tribute shows to Gordon Lightfoot and Warren Zevon, Ron remains as devoted to the song as ever, whether it's his own or one he carries entirely from memory, lyric for lyric, as part of what he jokingly calls his “savant” superpower.Join us as we talk to Ron about melody, memory, songwriting discipline, album-making, missed label opportunities, and the thread that runs through a body of work spanning decades, a songwriter growing older, wiser, and still chasing the perfect song.Let Christy Take It are proud to bring you Ron Sexsmith.If you enjoy our show please Like and subscribe wherever you listen to your podcasts.

Tous les mercredis à 17h30, Margaux Lassalle revisite les reprises qui ont marqué l'histoire de la musique. Cette semaine, place à "Hallelujah" de Leonard Cohen. Parue en 1984, cette chanson à la fois spirituelle et intime, mêlant amour, désir et perte sur fond de références religieuses, a mis des années à voir le jour. Restée discrète à sa sortie, elle doit sa popularité à ses nombreuses réinterprétations. Dès 1988, Bob Dylan s'en empare sur scène, suivi en 1991 par John Cale qui en livre une version piano-voix intense et dépouillée. En 1995, Bono propose une adaptation inattendue aux accents trip-hop, tandis que Rufus Wainwright la fait découvrir à une nouvelle génération en 2001 grâce à la bande originale de "Shrek". En 2016, le groupe Pentatonix impressionne avec une lecture a cappella parfaitement maîtrisée. À l'occasion de la sortie du documentaire "It's Never Over, Jeff Buckley", la chronique se concentre sur la reprise la plus emblématique du titre. Disparu en 1997, Jeff Buckley en a livré une interprétation délicate et habitée à la guitare électrique, devenue au fil du temps la version de référence pour toute une génération.

In October 1973, the poet and singer Leonard Cohen—thirty-nine years old, famous, unhappy, and at a creative dead end—traveled from his home on the Greek island of Hydra to the chaos and bloodshed of the Sinai desert when Egypt attacked Israel on the Jewish high holiday of Yom Kippur. Moving around the front with a guitar and a group of local musicians, Cohen met hundreds of young soldiers, men and women at the worst moment of their lives. Those who survived never forgot the experience. And the war transformed Cohen. He had announced that he was abandoning his music career, but he instead returned to Hydra and to his family, had a second child, and released one of the best albums of his career. In Who by Fire, journalist Matti Friedman gives us a riveting account of those weeks in the Sinai, drawing on Cohen's previously unpublished writing and original reporting to create a kaleidoscopic depiction of a harrowing, formative moment for both a young country at war and a singer at a crossroads. Matti Friedman is an award-winning journalist and author. Born in Toronto and based in Jerusalem, his work has appeared regularly in the New York Times, The Atlantic, Tablet, and elsewhere. Friedman's last book, Spies of No Country: Secret Lives at the Birth of Israel, won the 2019 Natan Prize and the Canadian Jewish Book Award for history. Pumpkinflowers: A Soldier's Story of a Forgotten War was chosen in 2016 as a New York Times Notable Book and one of Amazon's 10 best books of the year. His first book, The Aleppo Codex, won the 2014 Sami Rohr Prize and the ALA's Sophie Brody Medal. Matti Friedman on Twitter.

Marina Bassani"Rosa la Rossa"la vera storia di Rosa LuxemburgMonologo con Marina BassaniTesto di Marina Bassani - Produzione Teatro SeligCineteatro BarettiVia Baretti, 4 - Torino11, 12, 13 febbraio 2026 ore 20.45Dall'11 al 13 febbraio 2026 alle ore 20.45, al Teatro Baretti di Torino, ritorna Marina Bassani con la prima del monologo Rosa la Rossa. La vera storia di Rosa Luxemburg. Sul palco, ad accompagnare l'artista, ci saranno il musicista Nunzio Barbieri, chitarrista di Paolo Conte e Francesco Django Barbieri con il suo clarinetto. Per tutta la sua vita Rosa attende il momento in cui i lavoratori prenderanno coscienza della loro condizione e faranno la rivoluzione.A 17 anni scrive: “Il mio ideale è un regime sociale in cui si possano amare tutti”. Un giorno trova un libro, Il Capitale di Karl Marx. Dice esattamente quello che pensa lei. Ha solo sedici anni quando tiene una lezione ai suoi fratelli su concetti come profitto e plusvalore e, come se fosse un gioco, inventa un grazioso teatrino dove i personaggi sono operai e padroni, sfruttatori e oppressi.Partita da Zamosh per studiare botanica ed economia all'università di Zurigo, la sola università che accolga le donne, si stabilisce a Berlino nella città più industrializzata di Europa e qui entra a far parte del partito socialdemocratico. Ma presto si trova in dissenso. Contraria alla guerra (la prima guerra mondiale è alle porte), ne denuncia gli abusi e le torture, e si schiera contro molti suoi compagni di partito che hanno votato l'aumento delle spese di guerra. Più di una volta viene rinchiusa in carcere per disobbedienza e per incitamento allo sciopero generale. Ma, incurante della sua miserabile condizione, dal carcere detta il manifesto della Lega Spartachista.Abbandonata dal partito socialista , sempre più sola, ha bisogno di un filo rosso per uscire dal labirinto soffocante, fatto di divieti, sfruttamento, schiavitù, colonie, guerra. Lo trova, oltre che nella lotta politica, nel suo amore per la natura. La natura rimane l'oasi in cui il suo pensiero si rifugia. Nella prigione di Wronki, in Polonia, ha il permesso di curare un piccolo giardino: “ogni mattina ispeziono accuratamente lo stato dei boccioli di tutti i miei cespugli, e ogni giorno visito una coccinella rossa con due macchie nere sul dorso”. Le mura del carcere non le impediscono di continuare a lottare per un mondo libero. È quando abbiamo di fronte un muro, che conosciamo davvero la libertà. Per tutta la sua vita Rosa ha cercato di abbattere questo muro. La sua compassione l'ha condotta a combattere per proteggere la natura, i fiori, gli uccelli e gli esseri umani. Ma fino a dove poteva spingersi la sua passione? Rosa ha tenuto sempre in mano il filo rosso, ma questo filo rosso alla fine è diventata la sua trappola. Rivoluzione o riforma? Passione o ragione? Rosa ha scelto la passione a costo della sua stessa vita.In scena i suoi ultimi giorni , in attesa di venire arrestata, ha solo il cielo sopra di sé e la musica che le tiene compagnia. Non ha paura e continua a gioire di ogni piccolo segno che venga dal mondo di fuori. Marina Bassani, attrice e regista, è nata a Milano e vive a Torino. Si è diplomata all' Accademia dei Filodrammatici di Milano, medaglia d'oro ex aequo con Lella Costa, e si è laureata in filosofia. Si è specializzata in monologhi e dialoghi teatrali.

David, the giant-slaying boy who would eventually become king of Israel, is mentioned over 1,000 times in the Bible. The youngest of eight children, David grew to become a powerful king, and some say he was also the original pop star, penning most of the 150 psalms included in the Bible. These songs were the hymnbook for Old Testament Jews, and continue to inspire well-known musical works today, including Leonard Cohen's “Hallelujah.”The 62nd Psalm was written by King David with a goal of reminding himself and others of the Lord's steadfast love. A man of immense power and influence, David wanted to encourage people to continue seeking the Lord and to trust Him with all their endeavors. Psalm 62:5 says, “Yes, my soul, find rest in God; my hope comes from him.”Some scholars see Psalm 62 as a warning: each of us possesses a certain amount of power over our own choices and circumstances, but we should not let our personal authority get in the way of our trust in God. King David had wise and experienced advisors at his side, and he commanded armies that did his bidding at home and abroad. Upon his orders, men could be rewarded or condemned. He certainly wielded a significant amount of power, yet he put his faith and his trust in God. Whether you sit at the helm of a large corporation, you lead a military regiment, or maybe you are the king or queen of your family's castle, let power rest not upon your own shoulders but ultimately with the Lord. Let's pray. Heavenly Father, like King David, we are mere mortals blessed with opportunities, gifted in unique ways, and called to follow you. Let us turn to you with full trust in your plan, and remember the source of all power is you, and not ourselves. In Jesus' name, amen. Change your shirt, and you can change the world!

It's New York's hellacious summer of '77. Rampant crime, a city-wide blackout and the Son of Sam murders have knocked Gotham on its ass. When Lucien Lowe, a young poet on the downtown scene, is found dead in his East Village tenement with a heroin needle in his arm, overworked cops rule it an accidental overdose. But Ike's wealthy girlfriend Julie Baroda suspects murder and urges Ike's best friend, the artist and punk rock fashion designer Finn Burdon, to investigate.Despite Finn's own issues with heroin, he shows an uncanny talent for detective work. As Julie, Finn and police detective Benny Cherin dig deeper, their investigation ultimately encompasses some of the most famous names of 1970s New York, including William S. Burroughs, Jean-Michel Basquiat, CBGB owner Hilly Kristal, Allen Ginsberg, Lou Reed, Truman Capote, Roy Cohn, Fat Tony Salerno, Holly Woodlawn, Steve Rubell, Andrew Crispo, Bella Abzug, Leonard Cohen and many others. In the process, they begin to glimpse the outlines of a violent plot to sabotage the opening night of Hilly Kristal's highly anticipated new venue, The CBGB 2nd Avenue Theater, when Patti Smith is playing and it's packed with thousands.Set during the glory days of New York's downtown music, art, literary and fashion scenes, The CBGB Conspiracy mixes fiction with a host of real events and historical figures. Behind them all looms a character just as visceral and ultimately doomed: the crumbling New York of 1977.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/houseofmysteryradio. Hosted on Acast.

In this episode of Prisoners of Rock and Roll, we're talking about covers – those magical moments where one artist takes another's song and makes it their own…Wait, we said that in the monologue of last episode. Well it's true! We had so many songs to talk about that we decided to jump back into the trenches and talk about more of those moments where one artist grabs a song and turns it upside down, inside out, or straight into gold…or garbage. We still have a lot to say on this topic since we didn't get to discuss Jeff Buckley's haunting version of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah, Manfred Mann having a number one hit with a Springsteen song while Springsteen has never had a number one hit himself, Weezer and Toto covering each other, Whitney Houston's enormous hit with a Dolly Parton song, and more. And as always, we've got some thoughts on music news and a song to send to the electric chair. It's our first ever two part episode so sit your butt down and turn that volume UP.

The Jokermen speak to David Shumway about the life, times, and art of Leonard Cohen as assessed in The World of Leonard Cohen, a new collection of essays edited by Shumway. BUY "THE WORLD OF LEONARD COHEN"
"In 1960s New York City lived a blind, often homeless man with a long, flowing beard, who dressed as a Viking and stood sentinel at the corner of West 54th Street and Sixth Avenue in midtown Manhattan. He sold his poetry and performed on custom-built percussion. His recordings are considered legendary pieces of original sound emanating from a unique artist who continues to be misunderstood and under appreciated.""Nico was used to being treated as a physical spectacle. At the Dom, Leonard Cohen was a regular guest, and he began writing songs in hopes of seducing her. Her improbable bone structure, and her role in “La Dolce Vita,” intrigued prominent rock managers like Albert Grossman, who worked with Bob Dylan. But her songs were less appealing, and the Dom's clientele often laughed through her set. She was eventually accompanied on guitar by Tim Buckley, and then by Jackson Browne, who had just arrived in New York. Browne became enamored with Nico, and before they fell out—she accused him of harassing her with obscene phone calls—he gave her two songs: “The Fairest of the Seasons” and “These Days,” both of which appeared on her 1967 début, “Chelsea Girl.”-

We caught up with unique indie artist Robert Deeble to talk about his new release “The Space Between Us” coming out February 6th. Roberts story driven lyrics and production have a classic vibe with a modern twist. Robert Deeble's spirit-infused lyrics are paired with a subtle, minimalist style that echoes old folk heroes like Leonard Cohen and Nick Drake. His first album, released with his band, Days Like These, was a critical success and featured a duet with Victoria Williams, "Rock A Bye." Days Like These never performed outside of the L.A. area and disbanded soon after their first release. His second album, a solo effort entitled Earthside Down, was released in 1998 and featured the production work of Anthony Arvizu and Stephen Hodges (best known for his drum work with Tom Waits). They helped augment Deeble's spare sound with cellos, timpani, gongs, and electronic elements, creating a sound that treads a line between folk and ambient music. ~ Stacia Proefrock, Rovi Robert's links www.hyperfollow.com/RobertDeeble www.Youtube.com/@Robert.deeble About Music Matters with Darrell Craig Harris The Music Matters Podcast is hosted by Darrell Craig Harris, a globally published music journalist, professional musician, and Getty Images photographer.

WHEN EUSTACE MET FRANÇOISE— I first met Françoise Mouly at The New Yorker's old Times Square offices. This was way back when artists used to deliver illustrations in person. I had stopped by to turn in a spot drawing and was introduced to Françoise, their newly-minted cover art editor.I should have been intimidated, but I was fresh off the boat from Canada and deeply ensconced in my own bubble—hockey, baseball, Leonard Cohen—and so not yet aware of her groundbreaking work at Raw magazine.Much time has passed since that fortuitous day and I've thankfully caught up with her ouevre—gonna get as many French words into this as I can—through back issues of Raw and TOON Books. But mostly with The New Yorker, where we have worked together for over 30 years and I've been afforded a front-row seat to witness her mode du travail, her nonpareil mélange of visual storytelling skills.Speaking just from my own experience, I can't tell you how many times at the end of a harsh deadline I've handed in a desperate, incoherent mess of watercolor and ink, only to see the published product a day later magically made whole, readable, and aesthetically pleasing.Because Françoise prefers her artists to get the credit, I assume she won't want me mentioning the many times she rescued my images from floundering. I can remember apologetically submitting caricatures with poor likenesses, which she somehow managed to fix with a little digital manipulation—a hairline move forward here, a nose sharpened there. Or ideas that mostly worked turned on their head—with the artist's permission, of course—to suddenly drive the point all the way home.For Françoise, “the point” is always the point. Beautiful pictures are fine, but what does the image say? Françoise maintains a wide circle of devoted contributing artists—from renowned gallery painters to scribbling cartoonists, and all gradations between—from whom she regularly coaxes their best work. I thank my étoiles chanceuses to be part of that group.And now, an interview with Françoise. Apparently. —Barry Blitt—This episode is made possible by our friends at Commercial Type and Freeport Press. A production of Magazeum LLC ©2021–2025
Ernest Saves Christmas (1988). Put it on screen. Contains a parody of "Hallelujah" by Leonard Cohen.
Episode Description: Welcome, warriors, to the final episode of the year! In this reflective, heart-centered conversation, we pause to honor everything this year asked of us, explore the importance of choosing ourselves, and set intentions for the year ahead, not as a “new year, new you” exercise, but as an invitation to care for and prioritize ourselves with compassion. We dive into: The power of choosing yourself as a practice, with intention Why resting, slowing down, and doing less is revolutionary for women How perfectionism, “prove-it-again” bias, & societal expectations shape our lives Reflections on community, support, and the collective wisdom of the Advancing Women Podcast Along the way, we revisit some of the year's most resonant AWP episodes: Permission to Pause: Can We Stop Doing and Just Be for a Minute?: Exploring why productivity has become a stand-in for worth and why rest is essential. Go Little: Comfort, Joy, and the Art of Doing Less: Redefining success and learning to embrace the meaningfulness of “small” actions and joy. There Is a Crack in Everything: That's How the Light Gets In: Inspired by Leonard Cohen's lyric and Kintsugi, exploring perfectionism, resilience, and honoring the cracks in our lives. This episode is a reminder that choosing yourself isn't selfish, it's necessary. It's about creating space, breathing room, and radical permission to prioritize your needs and growth. Thank you for walking this journey with me, for being part of our warrior community, and for showing up for yourself and each other. Episode Highlights / Key Takeaways: Choosing yourself is a skill or personality trait. It's a practice that comes from small, intentional actions. Reflection and pausing are just as valuable as action and productivity. The cracks in our lives aren't failures; they are opportunities for growth, wisdom, and light. Community matters: you are not alone in navigating all the things… Intentions are powerful even if resolutions aren't perfectly kept; the act of aiming toward growth is what matters. Let's Reflect: Take a moment to journal or reflect: What does “choosing yourself” look like for you right now? Where in your life can you create more space, permission, or breathing room? How can you step into the new year with intention, hope, and self-compassion?

In this sermon we continue our Advent series around the question of how can a weary world rejoice? We talk about Mary's song the magnificat, the history that precedes it in the Bible, what it means to sing even imperfectly of God's goodness because you never know what will come of it, and all this with help from the story of how Leonard Cohen's song "Hallelujah" came to be in existence. May we encounter the crucified Christ raised from the dead in these words.
Beloved Australian songwriter Paul Kelly has just turned 70 – “it sounds Biblical, threescore years and ten.” He looks back here at the road he took to get there, from early days in Adelaide to the pub circuit to his catalogueof stirring and eloquent songs about the big issues of life and love, as Neil Finn says, “with not a trace of pretence or fakery”. You'll find … … the moment he felt he'd arrived … the story of How To Make Gravy – “a Christmas song with no chorus about a man in prison” – and Rita Wrote A Letter, its ghostly sequel … early records he loved – Tommy Roe, Peter Paul & Mary, Yes, Deep Purple, Frank Zappa, the “chaotic” Duke Ellington and Louis Armstrong … life on the Melbourne pub circuit playing Neil Young, Gram Parsons and Hank Williams … touring with Leonard Cohen – “a masterclass in performance, like a prayer, a ritual, like a Vaudevillian Rabbi” .. the storytelling songs of the Stanley Brothers, the Louvin Brothers and Buck Owens ... the great Calypso cricket tradition and the track he wrote about Shane Warne … “the odd-sock drawer”: the file in his computer where he stores early sketches … I'm In Love With A Blue Frog, the five chords that underpinned 50 years of songwriting! … the intricacy of Neil Finn's impressionistic lyrics … and the things you hear in your songs when someone else sings them.

While conjouring those familiar relams of romanticism found within the captivating caves of Leonard Cohen, Eduardo Bort, and Donovan, Sao Paulo, Braizil-bases multi-instrumentalist Sergio Victor Sayeg, known professionally as Sessa, has sincerely brought to the sonic surface a mesmerizing meditation on life, lover, fatherhood, and cultural connection with his latest effort, "Pequena Vertigem de Amor (Lil' Love Vertigo)." A brilliant body of work that effortlessly flows from one end of the galaxy to the echoing canals of the listeners' eager ears who patiently wait for its humbling vibrations, Sessa takes us on a journey that is one for the books.
Leslie “Lulu” Sherman opened Still Gallery with a reception on November 15th - which happened to be a rain-drenched evening, and yet she packed the place for the inaugural exhibit, "How the Light Gets In" with four female artists: Sherman, Emily Thomas MaHarry, Stephanie Hubbard and JoJo Alderson, based on their exploration of light - referencing Leonard Cohen's son. Sherman's portraits stop you in your tracks — luminous, intimate, and rendered in charcoal with a precision that feels almost like quiet revelation. In this episode of Ojai Talk of the Town, we sit down with the artist behind Ojai's new Still Gallery to explore her creative journey from New Orleans to NYU Tisch to the film world, and finally to the deeply interior practice of portrait drawing.Lulu talks about what drew her away from directing and screenwriting and toward the stark honesty of charcoal, how she approaches capturing a person's presence on paper, and the story behind her striking portrait of Joan Didion. We also dig into the vision of Still Gallery's inaugural exhibition, How the Light Gets In, and how Ojai's landscape and community are shaping her next chapter, NYC's downtown music scene in the early aughts, Creole culture and much more. We did not talk about maple-beech forest canopies, Brazilian gold-mine dredges, or the geological formations of the Kalahari Desert.If you love art, storytelling, or the alchemy that happens when an artist finds the medium that finally fits, this is a conversation you won't want to miss.

A note from Danielle: Hello, my loves. For the month of November 2025, we are going to focus on business-related topics, and I'm bringing out the best of my business hits. Today, we're talking about authentic intelligence—rather than, as opposed to, instead of, a better option than—artificial intelligence. As I'm recording this intro right now, I'm sitting in a hotel room in London, England, shortly after I've come off stage giving a talk to a room full of mostly female business entrepreneurs. I asked them at the beginning of the day if they wanted to talk about AI, and they groaned. And I said, "Well, we've got to do it." I'm always willing to be the contrarian if it's all in service to truth. This podcast conversation is in service to the truth of what I believe the fact to be: that AI is where your intuition goes to die. On that note, welcome to today's episode of With Love, Danielle. *This episode originally aired as Episode 138 on October 16, 2024. Leonard Cohen, Johnny Cash, Bob Dylan, and Zeppelin… what's your creative archetype? And what's the Divine Feminine principle got to do with your creative edge? A lot. In this episode, we're defining creative integrity in wacky times—no matter how tempting tech might be. Want to read the Slack memo I sent to my team about ChapGPT? Ya! (Spoiler: it's a tool, not a replacement for your brilliance). Presence cannot be outsourced. It is not going to fool the heart. Let's do the human, real-time, real energy, joyful work of thinking, caring, and creating.

It was a year of staggering losses, from David Bowie and Prince to Leonard Cohen and George Michael. But it was also a year of monumental new music, including Beyonce's 'Lemonade' and a mountain-sized rock anthem from Mitski.Note: This is a recurring series in celebration of All Songs Considered's 25th anniversary.

Humanity, in all its luminous imperfection, has always been both wound and wonder—a paradox that defines our evolution. To be human is to falter, to forget, to fracture; yet it is through these very fractures that light enters the psyche, as Leonard Cohen once observed. In today's digital agora—TikTok feeds and curated realities—our flaws have become spectacles, pathologized into pathology rather than understood as pedagogy.
