Boo Hewerdine, beloved singer-songwriter, has been onstage for 40 years in venues of every type, shape and size. He thinks of himself as a “tradesman”, a world that's immensely satisfying but a tough call. This very funny, poignant podcast paints a vivid picture of the best and worst of times. Which include … … playing scout huts, libraries, churches, folk clubs and the Palladium … the world's best dressing-room (it's in Stroud) and worst venue (Pittsburgh) … “the engine inside you that makes you want to be onstage” … places that only suit “a lute being played with a feather” … a home birthday show with no audience and the chilling lyrics of Chris Difford's ‘Round The Houses' … the joy of writing for commission … seeing Dr Feelgood in 1975 … what's satisfying what gives you pause for thought … the brilliant Ballad Of Wallis Island, streaky bacon as a bookmark and the kind of Travelodge with a bottle-opener attached to the desk.

Are we really fixing the trust gap in trucking, or just talking about it? And how much of our industry's problems stem from simple accountability? Dive into this conversation with Avante Jackson of The CDL Shorty Drivers 4 Drivers (D4D)! Avante starts with the real issues holding freight back - the carrier–broker relationship, why long-term partnerships, transparent vetting, and steady follow-up are the backbone of reliable operations, the realities of cargo theft, and why better documentation, photos, and check-ins need to become standard. From CDL training gaps to outdated safety standards, to the importance of actual business acumen, we talk about why blaming the market or foreign drivers won't fix anything. Real progress happens when brokers and drivers understand each other, invest in education, and commit to doing things the right way!

The Jackson Browne song “You Love the Thunder” is about a musician and a lover who joins him on tour, a thread that underlies many of the songs on Browne's album, Running on Empty. The album explores life on the road from performances, to backstage, hotel rooms, and relationships with band members and audiences. The lyrics of “You Love the Thunder” suggest that while Browne's lover may not always enjoy the difficult aspects of a musician's life on the road, they are irresistibly drawn to the excitement of the lifestyle and the passion that runs through it like a vein of valuable ore. The line, “To be a woman in love with a man in search of the flame,” exemplifies the central meaning of the song: the enduring, though sometimes challenging, love for someone driven by a passionate, and likely spiritual quest. Chapters (00:00:04) - You Love the Thunder and You Love the Rain

In "Making a Living and a Life on the Road", Joe Lynch and Dave Nemo, Host of RadioNemo, discuss the blend of essential industry information, driver wellness, and community building that allows professional truckers to find success and connection over a long career on the road. About Dave Nemo Dave Nemo has been the voice of trucking radio for the past 55 years, drawing on his love of music, useless facts, jokes, and history, coupled with the solemn duty to provide reliable weather and road reports with important news and information every driver should have. His career has been through more changes than you'd believe – through AM radio (where in one nine-year stretch he worked for eleven different companies), satellite ratio, and now digital streaming. And through all the changes, he's managed to keep our over the road professional drivers awake, alert, and alive. About RadioNemo RadioNemo is a radio network stemming from 55 years of radio lineage. Spearheaded by founder Dave Nemo, its talk content has been on both terrestrial and satellite radio. Now, it makes its home on the Internet airwaves for everyone. Catch Nemo Nation Mondays at 8a ET with Dave Nemo, Road Gang Radio Tuesdays-Fridays at 8a ET with Jimmy Mac & Lindsay Lawler, and We Should Write Wednesdays at 12p ET with Lindsay Lawler. For more information, visit www.radionemo.com Key Takeaways: Making a Living and a Life on the Road In "Making a Living and a Life on the Road", Joe Lynch and Dave Nemo, Host of RadioNemo, discuss the blend of essential industry information, driver wellness, and community building that allows professional truckers to find success and connection over a long career on the road. The Enduring Voice of the Road: With over 55 years behind the mic, Dave Nemo's career demonstrates the critical importance of a consistent, reliable voice in the isolated world of professional driving. His longevity (from AM radio to digital streaming) illustrates the constant need for connection and trusted information in the trucking industry. More Than Just Talk: The Blend of Entertainment and Safety: The podcast highlights that a "life on the road" requires stimulation and mental engagement. Nemo's use of music, "useless facts, jokes, and history" is a conscious strategy to keep professional drivers "awake, alert, and alive," making entertainment a vital safety measure. Holistic Driver Wellness is Key to Longevity: RadioNemo's content moves beyond trucking logistics to focus on the driver as a whole person. Segments like "Highway to Health" address critical issues such as nutrition, managing conditions like diabetes, and accessing resources for mental health—recognizing that physical and emotional well-being is essential for a successful career. The Need for Community and Connection: For a traditionally solitary profession, RadioNemo fosters a powerful sense of community ("Nemo Nation"). The "Breaker Breaker Backtalk" segment (where drivers share stories and questions) demonstrates that this network serves as a communal watercooler, transforming the isolation of the cab into a shared experience. Navigating the Business of Trucking: "Making a Living" requires staying current on regulations, maintenance, and policy. The network's partnership with advocacy groups like OOIDA (Owner-Operator Independent Drivers Association) shows the importance of staying informed on critical issues like broker transparency, safety rules, and legislative changes that directly impact an independent driver's bottom line. Adaptability and the Digital Future: Dave Nemo's transition from terrestrial radio to satellite and now to digital streaming reflects the evolution of the industry itself. The shift to Internet airwaves, on-demand streaming, and podcasting shows that successful professionals must embrace new technologies to maintain relevance and reach the next generation of drivers. Culture and Identity on the Road: The inclusion of culture and storytelling (such as the "Sleeper Cab Library" and We Should Write segments) suggests that a "life" in trucking is about more than miles and freight. These features validate the need for drivers to maintain interests, read, reflect, and engage in deeper conversations that build a rich personal identity despite long stretches away from home.

We chat with singer, guitarist, and road warrior Austin Meade to talk about his upcoming album Almost Famous, arriving November 7. From growing up the son of a Baptist preacher to teaching drums and eventually carving out his own lane in rock and country, Austin opens up about the stories, struggles, and humor behind his music.He shares how Almost Famous became his most personal record yet — written and recorded between a Nashville garage and his own spare bedroom — diving into themes of ambition, burnout, and perseverance. We dig into the inspiration behind songs like the tongue-in-cheek title track “Almost Famous” and heartfelt tunes like “Honey Do Ya,” plus how his storytelling connects across albums from Black Sheep to Abstract Art of an Unstable Mind. Austin also reflects on life on the road, lessons from opening for ZZ Top and Godsmack, and how he's learned to balance the grind with family life.Jonathan's Drinking: Samuel Maverick Private Reserve

INXS fans are in for another treat with Part Two of our fascinating deep dive with the inimitable Gary Grant who joined the INXS family in 1981. His contribution was as large as any in ensuring INXS' business affairs, touring and promotional efforts were A grade in every way. A great storyteller, we get fascinating insights into the game-changing tour with Adam Ant in 1983, why Australian band Managers were so successful globally and numerous anecdotes about a time and place when music was front and centre in people's entertainment consciousness. Gary generously shares the remarkable relationship and teamwork with Chris Murphy followed by the unfortunate fallout that culminated in the Concert for Life at Centennial Park in March 1992 with Gary departing the INXS family. Not one to rest on his laurels, Gary was able to parlay his skills into venue management whereby he spearheaded Sydney's Luna Park's foray into concert hosting. A role that would last over a dozen years and coincidentally saw him hosting INXS' 2006 Sydney gigs with JD Fortune and the Switch Tour. We get Bee's counterpoint “Pleasure and Pain” list from 1981, a special news section with some famous September birthdays (hello) plus an iconic tribute song that celebrates its 40th anniversary.

We talk about his journey from small-town stages to national recognition, the stories behind some of his biggest songs, life on the road, and what inspires his writing. Tanner shares the highs, the struggles, and what's next for his career.Whether you're a longtime fan or just discovering his music, this conversation dives deep into the heart of an artist who's as genuine as the songs he sings.Tanner Usrey: https://www.tannerusreymusic.comBig thanks to our sponsors for supporting the show:
Training camp is winding down, and game week is almost here (with Week Zero kicking off Saturday!). That means it's time for a recap from the road.On the latest episode of Y-Option, presented by our founding partner 76 — keeping you on the GO GO GO so you never miss a beat — Jim Thornby and I sit down to unpack everything learned while traveling coast to coast.What stood out:* Penn State: The Nittany Lions have earned the right to be in the national title conversation. I'm a big believer in Drew Allar, as QBs need scars and every Penn State fan knows he has them. I think his maturity and work off the field will lead him to his most successful season in Happy Valley and I would bet in January he will say he played with the most joy in his young career. * Oregon: Despite losing a ton of production, their competitive depth is elite. Dante Moore (not yet named the starter) looked like one of the most impressive QBs I've seen in years. His ability to layer the ball, locate his wideouts and throw a catchable ball is as good as I've seen on the tour. * The Midwest stops: Illinois (my CFP sleeper), Wisconsin, and Iowa. Three places I'd never been to and each visit revealed growth and momentum. Walking away, my takeaway was simple: everybody has gotten better from a year ago. Another takeaway, Bret Bielema is one of the nation's most underrated head coaches. His experience as a head coach, an assistant with the Patriots & more has tangible depth to it and will only help this team if they can get through September undefeated. I think his team will be one of the biggest storylines of the season.* Back West: Our tour out West began in Eugene and then headed north to Seattle to see Jedd Fisch's team in his second year. Demond Williams, Jonah Coleman, Denzel Boston are all stars. With an improved OL this group is going to give teams fits. Add in two 6'4'' corners and UW will be a must see team this fall. We concluded in LA for some Big Ten Network crew fellowship and after watching DeShaun Foster's Bruins and Lincoln Riley's Trojans one thing is certain–the West Coast schools all look like B1G programs on the offensive and defensive lines. * Overall: the best part of the tour was time with my colleagues. Gerry DiNardo, Kyle Coughlin, Ashley Adamson and all of our Big Ten Network colleagues - it was an absolute blast and we made sure to make the most of it. And our Coach found himself with more slips than he knows what to do with!In addition, we dive into Cal naming a starting QB, Utah's opinions on public injury reports, Stanford in Week Zero and the Cougs and Beavs. Overall, this episode is a full rundown of training camp takeaways, the storylines that matter most, and what's ahead as the season kicks off.So with that, let's get after it!! We appreciate you riding along and as always, much love and stay steady,YogiY-Option: College Football with Yogi Roth is a reader-supported publication.

How can we create a world where neighbors know each other's names, children play freely outdoors, and no parent faces the overwhelming challenges of raising children alone? Sarah van Gelder, founder of YES Magazine and author of "The Revolution Where You Live," joins us to explore the troubling fragmentation of our social structures and the promising alternatives emerging in response. A growing number of Danish households are single-person dwellings, and approximately 95% of Danish children attend daycare. There is a global trend toward smaller household units and increasing isolation that contributes to what the U.S. Surgeon General has called a mental health crisis of loneliness.Drawing from her experience raising children in a co-housing community and her 12,000-mile journey exploring grassroots solutions across America, Sarah van Gelder shares examples of how intentional communities create joy, support, and meaning. From worker-owned cooperatives transforming economic power dynamics to neighbourhood initiatives that rebuild social connections, these stories challenge the dominant narrative that privacy and independence should be our highest priorities.The conversation delves into the cultural forces driving our disconnection—media that emphasizes danger over cooperation, economic pressures that separate families, and the glorification of individualism that leaves people feeling they must solve all problems alone. The path toward more connected living doesn't necessarily require radical lifestyle changes—simple actions like organizing neighborhood gatherings or creating mutual aid networks can begin to rebuild our social fabric.

That meant performances changed over time—sometimes intentionally, sometimes forgetfully. A tale sung in France might sound very different once it reached England… with a new punchline and an extra verse or two.About Steven, HostSteven is a Canadian composer & actor living in Toronto.
