Rob had the pleasure of interviewing Courtney Hadwin on Tuesday, Feb 17th. You might remember Courtney from 2018's America's Got Talent?   She has since released some singles and a Christmas song (in 2024) and now she's releasing the first single "spellbound" off her debut album!   No word on when her full length album (of all new material) will be out but Rob did try to get some info out of her.. lol  If you've never heard of her you have to check her out.  She's a powerhouse on vocals and at the age of 14 she got the golden buzzer from Howie Mandel on AGT!   Her audition video got over 310 million views on YouTube! ***** A LITTLE BIT ABOUT COURTNEY HADWIN Courtney is a British pop singer and songwriter who first captured international attention as a breakout star on NBC's America's Got Talent at only 13 years old. Her unforgettable audition went globally viral, racking up over 310 million views and instantly establishing her as a powerful new voice in music. At 20, Courtney continues to astound audiences with her extraordinary vocals and unforgettably soulful performances, often prompting comparisons to the legendary Janis Joplin. Courtney's musical journey began early; as a self-taught artist, she spent countless hours emulating idols such as Tina Turner, Etta James, and James Brown while developing a unique musical personality. In recent years, Courtney has embraced independence as an artist, releasing several singles, including “Breakable,” “That Girl Don't Live Here,” “Call Me Back” and “Monsters”, each showcasing the evolution of her sound. Working closely alongside Kevin Bowe, a renowned producer from Minneapolis, Courtney has forged a creative partnership that has empowered her to express herself with authenticity. Currently, Courtney is in the final stages of recording her debut album. This highly anticipated project promises to blend a diverse set of genres, from pop and soul to blues and rock, all brought together by Courtney's show-stopping vocal presence.  ************ KNOW GOOD MUSIC can be found almost anywhere you listen to podcasts including Podbean (host site), Spotify , Apple Podcasts, Iheart Radio, Pandora and YOUTUBE Links to more sources at Link Tree - www.linktr.ee/knowgoodmusic  Help support our Podcast by purchasing some cool merch: https://www.teepublic.com/user/knowgoodmusic Visit our YouTube Channel where you can see video segments from all of our interviews.  Just search "know good music".   All AUDIO versions are also available on YOUTUBE!

✨ What if getting fired was the best thing that could have happened to you? ✨I had the absolute pleasure of sitting down with Samantha Guthrie, and let me tell you—this conversation is for every woman who's ever felt burned out, stuck, or unsure of her next step. Samantha's story is powerful. After being fired from her job, she and her husband took a leap of faith into entrepreneurship. But the journey wasn't just about building a business—it was about redefining success, learning to let go of the hustle mentality, and embracing the beauty of being over doing.If you've ever felt like you're running on empty, constantly chasing the next achievement, or struggling to balance business and life (especially if you work with your spouse!), you are not alone. Samantha and I unpack the hard lessons, the mindset shifts, and the freedom that comes when we stop striving and start living.

It's time to wrap up the Summer-Fall Books & Bites Bingo reading challenge! On this episode, we discuss books published in 2024. Our picks include a suspense novel that is also an immersive alternate reality game, a National Book Award-winning adaptation of an American classic, and a YA mystery by a bestselling author. Michael's PickWe Used to Live Here by Marcus KliewerEve Palmer answers the door on a cold, snowy night to a family wanting to know if they can take a quick look around since the father, Thomas, used to live there as a child. Eve, still waiting for her partner to get home, reluctantly invites them in. As they're touring the house, Thomas's daughter goes missing. Eve and Thomas begin their search in the basement, and that's when Eve notices some disconcerting things.We Used to Live Here is part of an ever-evolving immersive alternate reality game that allows you to hunt clues and decipher messages in web code, message boards, and social media accounts long after you've finished the book.Pairing: A hot dish of Totchos (Loaded Tater-Tot Nachos)Carrie's PickJames by Percival EverettThis National Book Award-winning novel retells Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn through the point of view of Jim, the enslaved man who travels down the Mississippi River with Huck. While the novel pays homage to the original, it also challenges some of Twain's nineteenth-century conventions and deepens Jim's humanity. The risks Jim--who prefers to be called James--faces on this journey, his love for his family and for Huck, all make for a compelling, suspenseful read.Pairing: Grilled Catfish with Tomato Blackberry Salsa, a dish that combines the two foods most readily available to James and Huck.Jacqueline's PickThe Reappearance of Rachel Price by Holly JacksonIn this YA mystery, 18-year-old Bel Price was just two years old when her mother, Rachel, disappeared. Now, a struggling British documentary filmmaker is making a film about her disappearance.One evening, Bel sees a  woman who looks just like her mother stumbling around in front of her house. At first, Bel thinks it's the actor playing Rachel during a reenactment scene, but the woman claims she is the real Rachel. Bel thinks the woman is lying and works to uncover the truth.Pairing: A salty, sweet, rich recipe for peanut butter cookies.

I just finished reading We Used to Live Here, and it was truly one of my favorite reading experiences ever! I was annotating and highlighting like a mad woman, and just had to make some content diving into as many of the intricacies as I could. This entire video is FULL OF SPOILERS, so if you haven't read it yet, this isn't the video for you. If you have read it, I'd love to hear any of your theories or questions in the comments!

The Nightmare Before Kissmas, was the perfect lil holiday romcom with some espionage.

About the Lecture: This conversation will be devoted to Elena Kostyuchenko's book I Love Russia: Reporting from a Lost Country (2023), “a haunting book of rare courage,” as Clarissa Ward, CNN chief international correspondent, called it. In March 2022, as a correspondent for Russia's last independent newspaper, Novaya Gazeta, Kostyuchenko crossed the border into Ukraine to cover the war. It was her mission to ensure that Russians witnessed the horrors Putin was committing in their name. I Love Russia stitches together reportage from the past fifteen years with personal essays, assembling a kaleidoscopic narrative that Kostyuchenko understands may be the last work from her homeland that she'll publish for a long time—perhaps ever. It exposes the inner workings of an entire nation as it descends into fascism and, inevitably, war. I Love Russia earned several distinctions, including a Best Book of the Year by The New Yorker and TIME, and the Pushkin House Book Prize (London, U.K.). About the Speaker: Elena Kostyuchenko is a Russian journalist; in 2024-2025, she is a Fellow at The Nieman Foundation for Journalism, Harvard University. She was born in Yaroslavl, Russia, in 1987, and she spent seventeen years reporting for Novaya Gazeta, Russia's last major independent newspaper, until it was shut down in the spring of 2022 in response to her reporting from Ukraine after the start of the Russian invasion. She is the author of two books published in Russian, Unwanted on Probation and We Have to Live Here, and is the recipient of the European Press Prize, the Free Media Award, and the Paul Khlebnikov Prize. This event is part of the CREECA lecture series, which is held on Thursdays at 4:00 pm. Coffee, tea, and cookies served starting at 3:45. **This talk was co-sponsored by the UW-Madison School of Journalism and Mass Communication and the Center for Journalism Ethics.**

On the Saturday July 27, 2024 edition of The Richard Crouse Show we get to know Sunthar V. He is a Tamil Canadian comedian, presenter and writer who has performed on stages across the world including Toronto, New York, Chennai and London. Born in Toronto, Sunthar has been captivating audiences since 2019 with his distinctive humor and perspective. As an openly queer Tamil comedian, Sunthar's comedy stems from his unique blend of life experiences and perspectives. Then, we'll meet writer and stop-motion animator Marcus Kliewer. His debut novel “We Used to Live Here” began life as a serialized short story on Reddit, where it won the Scariest Story of 2021 award on the NoSleep forum (eighteen million members). Film rights were snapped up by Netflix, and it was acquired by Simon & Schuster in the US for publication even before it had been extended into a full-length novel. Film rights for his second book, which will be based on an unpublished story called The Caretaker, have been sold to Universal, with Sydney Sweeney attached to star.
