This episode is brought to you by JamCut.IO (https://jamcut.io/). If you're a musician and you're tired of making clips all the time, check these guys out! Lindsay Lou joins Andy and Nick for a wide-open conversation about building a home with Kyle Tuttle, creating stability after years on the road, and why she can feel equally comfortable commanding a festival stage or driving for hours in complete silence. Lindsay gets candid about relationships, independence, ADHD, therapy, meditation, addiction, and her ongoing struggle to quit smoking. They also dig into jealousy, ambition, the Nashville and bluegrass communities, her reputation as the queen of the sit-in, and why sustainable success matters more than becoming a superstar. Plus, Lindsay explains why she and Kyle maintain separate band, and somehow the conversation ends with cigarettes, meth, toothpaste, and the meaning of life.

Today I'm joined by mentor, guide and friend of the podcast, Brian Clark. It's time to enter the world of Hermes, guide of souls, the one we meet on the road who can lead us away from home and lead us back when the time is right. We begin our discussion by talking about mythological Hermes, tracing his origins back to Mycenaean culture where he was known as the ‘herma' – a pile of rocks that we still have in our language today as the ‘milestone'. Brian and I discuss moments in our lives, of which there are far more than we could possibly mention, of when we had a plan and Hermes had an alternative. Once off the track of what we thought might happen we are in the hands of Hermes or Mercury and on the pathless path where the mystery, unmistakably, is unfolding at our feet. From here we go into the more technical realm of Mercury the planet. The numbers that are associated with his relationship to the sun, including Pi – that endless rambling number that seems random but follows an invisible order. And we suggest some ways to work with Mercury and its cycles in order to follow its intrinsic patterns, tend to the mind and thread together ideas so that they might become fruitful projects over time. I decided to leave the conversation unedited. The moments of wrestling with an idea, or getting things wrong, or taking the apparently wrong path, seem an important part of the contemplation of Hermes Mercurius. Without that tension, that wrestling match, that confusion, those strange crossroads, we're unlikely to receive that little bag of gold that Hermes holds in his hand, the one that isn't holding the Caduceus. Resources MentionedBooks & TextsLewis Hyde — Trickster Makes This WorldHomer — The IliadHomer — The OdysseyHomeric Hymn to HermesAuthors & ThinkersDavid AbramDane RudhyarMythological ReferencesHermes / MercuryPerseus and MedusaKairosPrometheus and EpimetheusMetisMnemosyneSnow White / Sleeping BeautyAstrology & AstronomyMercury's Promethean and Epimethean phasesMercury's retrograde cyclesMercury's inferior and superior conjunctionsMercury's greatest elongationThe ~116-day Mercury cycleThe relationship between Mercury's cycles, 22/7, and πAstrosynthesisBrian Clark & Glennys Lawton — AstrosynthesisJoin the Newsletter!Podcast Musician: Marlia CoeurPlease consider becoming a Patron to support the show!Go to OnTheSoulsTerms.com for more.

Today on Too Opinionated, we're joined by Cincinnati-based Americana/Country singer-songwriter Noah Smith to talk about his highly anticipated third studio album, No Strangers After All, arriving August 28. Rooted in country, rock & roll, and heartland storytelling, No Strangers After All may be Noah's most personal statement yet—a record shaped by years on the road and the realization that music can turn complete strangers into friends, communities, and even family. The album explores touring, songwriting, family, faith, resilience, failure, and finding home in unexpected places. For Noah, it's the culmination of more than a decade spent chasing songs and connecting with audiences one room at a time. As he puts it: "Maybe after all these miles, all these shows, all these conversations, and all these songs—we're no strangers after all." Noah has toured throughout the U.S., Canada, Mexico, and Europe, including multiple appearances at Denmark's Nashville Nights International Songwriter Festival. Along the way, he's shared stages with Ashley McBryde, Chris Janson, Lonestar, Joe Diffie, Aaron Lewis, Josh Turner, and The Steve Miller Band. Back home, Noah created Crooner Circus, a songwriter-driven showcase that has featured hundreds of artists and grown into an annual multi-stage festival. With new music releasing every month, Noah is entering an ambitious new chapter—bigger, louder and more alive, without losing the honest storytelling at the heart of his music. We talk No Strangers After All, life on the road, songwriting, Nashville, failure, resilience, building community, and why success means more than filling a room.

Today on Too Opinionated, we're joined by acclaimed folk/pop singer-songwriter Caroline Cotter to talk about her brand-new single "Grounded In Love," arriving August 14, and the new music on the horizon. Recorded in Nashville and co-produced by Caroline and Zack Berkman (Ron Pope, The District), "Grounded In Love" draws directly from Caroline's extraordinary life on the road. Having performed more than 1,000 shows across 46 states and 19 countries, Caroline knows what it's like to live without permanent roots. The song explores how we can still find stability, connection, love, and a sense of home wherever life takes us. It's the latest chapter in a career built around deeply human songwriting. With her warm voice and honest lyrics, Caroline writes about connection, nostalgia, gratitude, loss, wanderlust, and the countless ways we experience life. Following acclaimed albums Dreaming as I Do, Home on the River, and Gently as I Go, Caroline released A Quiet Song of Hope in June 2026 and is now moving into another exciting stretch of new music. Her journey has been just as remarkable as her songs. Caroline has toured internationally, won the Maine Songwriters Association Contest, was a finalist at FreshGrass and the Rocky Mountain Folk Festival, and served as an artist-in-residence at the 2025 World Expo in Osaka, Japan. She also traveled through Italy on an "End of War Peace Tour" carrying a WWII-era Gibson guitar. We talk new music, songwriting, Nashville, life on the road, finding home in unexpected places, and the experiences that continue shaping Caroline's music.

Americans Favorite Couple Top 5 group finalist Jasper & Ieshia What does America's favorite couple actually look like when the cameras aren't around?For Ieshia Robinson and Jasper Thibodeaux, it might look like two people inside an 18-wheeler somewhere between a pickup and delivery. It might look like an $80 Instacart day, clearing ditches, hauling junk, buying and reselling merchandise, learning unfamiliar industries, creating businesses from scratch—or finding somewhere unexpected to have a date night hundreds of miles from home.Since meeting through Facebook Dating in 2024, Ieshia and Jasper have turned an unexpected connection into a partnership spanning love, entrepreneurship, trucking, music, comedy, travel, creativity and family.Now, after reaching the Top 5 of America's Favorite Couple, they return to Vigilantes Radio Live at a pivotal moment: only one couple from their group can advance to the finals.But Coach Dini isn't simply asking why people should vote for them.This conversation goes deeper.Ieshia and Jasper revisit the days when $80 felt significant, the transition from side hustles to operating JT Master Logistics, living together almost 24/7 inside their 2019 Mack Anthem, Ieshia's secret binder containing nearly 20 of Jasper's future business ideas, keeping romance alive while working together, the criticism surrounding the speed and intensity of their relationship, and the devastating loss of their beloved Shar-Pei, Kloe.It's a conversation about two imperfect people who didn't meet after the dream had already been built.They met—and started building it together.Now America gets to decide how far that story goes.https://youtube.com/@loljasperhttps://youtube.com/@msymajorhttps://instagram.com/msymajorhttps://tiktok.com/msymajorhttps://americasfavcouple.org/2026/ieshia-jasperBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/vigilantes-radio-live--2166168/support.Vigilantes Radio Live! by The Only One Media Group ℗©2025Episode Credits:Produced, edited, mixed, and written by Demetrius "Whodini Blak" Reynolds, Sr.Artwork designed by Demetrius "Whodini Blak" Reynolds, Sr.Show Introduction by KateSegment jingles composed & produced by Demetrius "Whodini Blak" Reynolds, Sr.Additional music licensed through 7th Sign RecordingsLinks:onlyonemediagroup.comhttps://www.instagram.com/vigilantesradio/https://www.iheart.com/podcast/966-vigilantes-radio-live-29999229/https://www.instagram.com/whodiniblakin3d/https://www.imdb.com/title/tt26009230/To support our show, please leave reviews, ratings, or you can help fuel the passion over at buymeacoffee.com/vigilantesradioEmail us at onlyonemgt@gmail.com or vradio@onlyonemediagroup.com
