Cartoonist, illustrator, and festival artist Jay Howell joins host Hollie Nicole at Inkcarceration for a funny, fascinating conversation connecting animation, skate culture, tattoos, and the world of rock and metal festivals.Jay shares how drawing for Vans, Antihero, Creature, and Burton Snowboards helped shape his career before Bob's Burgers creator Loren Bouchard discovered his artwork at a San Francisco show. He also reveals the hilariously dark original concept for Bob's Burgers and how his loose drawing style evolved when the series entered television development.The story then takes a rock-and-roll turn as Jay explains how tattooing a creative director led to an unexpected offer to join the Danny Wimmer Presents festival circuit. That opportunity became one of his favorite jobs, allowing him to create festival artwork and draw musicians including Slash, Kerry King, Green Day, Insane Clown Posse, and Pierce the Veil.Jay also discusses drawing dozens of fans each day, why attendees are just as important as the bands, and the artist still sitting at the top of his wish list. Plus, he teases upcoming Guns N' Roses artwork, posters, merchandise, art shows, ShipRocked, and appearances at Louder Than Life, Bourbon & Beyond, Aftershock, and future DWP festivals.Press play for animation history, rock festival art, unforgettable celebrity encounters, Inkcarceration chaos, and Hollie Nicole receiving her own Jay Howell character!

Kentucky state represenatative John Hodgson (Dist 36) shared his thoughts on today's tumult within the ranks of tourism leadership. Here's the background info: the Kentucky Supreme Court ruled that Republican-led laws to reduce Governor Andy Beshear's power is unconstitutional.Today, Beshear revamped the Kentucky State Fair Board and his newly appointed members immediately fired longtime Ky Venues CEO David Beck.Beck's leadership produced generous funding thru the state legislature for massive upgrades at the Kentucky Expo Center and Ky International Convention Center. Plus, the convention and tourism numbers soared under Beck's relationships with decision makers.Some of the biggest shows on the tourism calendar: Bourbon & Beyond, Louder Than Life, the farm machinery show, teen sports competitions, faith group conventions, and so many more have expanded during Beck's tenure.Mike Berry has been named interim CEO, but admitted he's a short-termer.Will the new leader be able to maintain Beck's successes? Will Louisville tourism continue its upward trajectory now that Beck's longterm connections are severed?Governor Beshear will hopefully step forward to confirm that Ky Venues can best utilize the $400 million investment in Ky Expo Centers' upgrades.

Season 20, Episode 26 of The Adventures of Pipeman. Keep Listening because it is going to get Louder Than Life for some winning listeners. The 2026 Winter Olympics are held in Milan and Cortina d'Ampezzo, Italy, from February 6–22, 2026, marking a spread-out, multi-location event across Northern Italy. Key venues include the San Siro Stadium for the Opening Ceremony in Milan, and the Verona Arena for the Closing Ceremony.Coincidentally, shortly before the 2026 Winter Olympic Games, Netflix released “Watch Miracle: The Boys of '80” which was one of the greatest times in American history. What that game represented the patriotic unity of everyone in the United States for one purpose: winning the Men's Gold in hockey at the 1980 Olympics against the mighty Russian team. This was a feat deemed impossible. It was a time in history when things were bad for many Americans and we had problems with Iran. The Cold War with Russia was at its height. We were very divided and did not see much hope of positive change and of all Americans being united. Sound familiar? Well, the USA did beat the Russians and it represented all that was good to come. What a sense of patriotism and pride, but more importantly, we were all one people at this moment. Not Republicans. Not Democrats. We were Americans chanting USA USA as we WON!Here we are 46 years later and we have many of the same problems. We also were deemed to not have a chance of winning gold. And in a time of major antisemitism, it was a Jewish American player from Pipeman's favorite team, the NJ Devils, that scored the winning goal in overtime. Now it's time to repeat the same patriotism and unity. Let's let hockey bring us together and once again be The United States of America!Let's also talk about around 200 of Pipeman's favorite bands will be in Louisville, KY for Louder Than Life 2026 on The Pipeman Radio Tour. The lineup has been announced and it is sick in the best way. Let's discuss it and talk FREE Weekend Passes. But wait! There is more on the Pipeman Homeless Tour and the Pipeman Radio tour in March. Let's talk Costa Rica, Surfing, Hell's Heroes, and back to LA! Oh wait! There is also news about Rocklahoma and Aftershock. Stay Tuned!Would you rather go to Prison or go to Louisville?Let's discuss Rebel WTF national day is it today? It is National White Day? No, It's National Pipeman's Chocolate Covered Nuts Day.

We cover a number of topics on this week's Access Louisville podcast.First, we chat about the University of Louisville ending its long-running management of an early childhood center near campus and severing its ties with Family Scholar House due to budget constraints. Louisville Scholar House includes 56 apartments, the Owsley Brown Frazier Academic Services Center and an Early Learning Campus (ELC), which provides care and early learning for children ages six weeks to four years old through the College of Education and Human Development.After that, we talk about the Louisville Kings, a United Football League franchise that will start playing in March at Lynn Family Stadium. Reporter Stephen P. Schmidt tells us about efforts to build local support for the new team — particularly among the business community. We also chat about what we think of the team's newly unveiled jerseys, which feature a forrest green meets lime green aesthetic. Late in the show, we switch gears to go over the recently announced Bourbon & Beyond lineup. The Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age and Goose take top billing on opening night, which is Friday, Sept. 24, while Mumford & Sons and Kacey Musgraves headline on Sept. 25. Chris Stapleton, The Red Clay Strays, Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit play on Sept. 26. And Dave Matthews Band, Hootie & the Blowfish, Counting Crows round out the main stage Sunday, Sept. 27 The festival, now in its eighth year, is promoted by Los Angeles-based Danny Wimmer Presents, the same company that puts on Louder Than Life.We wrap up this week's podcast with a chat about a new documentary coming to HBO called "Murder in Glitterball City." Reporter Michael L. Jones recently spoke with author David Dominé about the 2-part series, which is based on Dominé's book "A Dark Room in Glitter Ball City: Murder, Secrets, and Scandal in Old Louisville." Access Louisville is a weekly podcast from Louisville Business First. You can follow it on popular podcast services including Apple Podcasts and Spotify.
Before there was Inkcarceration, there was Ozzfest. Before there was Aftershock, there was Lollapalooza. Before there was Louder Than Life, there was....H.O.R.D.E.?

Send us a textEver wondered why some people refuse to try new foods while others eagerly explore global cuisines? In this candid conversation, we dive deep into the psychology behind our comfort zones and what it takes to break through them.The episode kicks off with Will sharing his upcoming anniversary trip to Mexico – revealing it'll be just his second time flying ever. When the conversation shifts to relationships, each host opens up about their first dates with current partners. From six-hour car conversations that transformed casual hookups into meaningful relationships, to bus rides across town when they were broke, these authentic stories reveal how love often begins in the most ordinary circumstances.Perhaps most fascinating is our heated food debate. While one host passionately advocates for culinary exploration through Cuban, Ethiopian, and Indian cuisines, another admits he's strictly a "burger and fries" guy who's never even tried Olive Garden. This clash becomes a metaphor for how differently we approach life's new experiences.The conversation reaches its peak when we tackle a provocative question: Why doesn't Louisville host major hip-hop festivals when rock events like "Bourbon and Beyond" and "Louder Than Life" bring 450,000 people to the city? Our passionate debate about representation, cultural investment, and missed opportunities will leave you reconsidering your own community's cultural blind spots.Youtube to https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PLPIs6Ko7BCc9l5jlE5AbAUqZ0gAOhmuq- https://mixed-vibez-drip.printify.me/

Louisville's fall music festivals are bigger than ever — but is that a good thing or not?We discuss that question this week on the Access Louisville podcast. Danny Wimmer Presents' two annual festivals at the Kentucky Exposition Center — Bourbon & Beyond (Sept. 11-14) and Louder Than Life (Sept. 18-21) — look a lot different this year. The festivals now have 2.4 million square feet of space. They also utilize some indoor space at the Expo Center for merchandise sales, cooling off and bathrooms.Going in, we admit we had our worries. The Expo Center is massive and there's a lot of concrete that can hold in heat. On the show we give our takes on how the first leg of the two consecutive festivals went. We recorded this show on Thursday, Sept. 18, just hours before Louder Than Life was to start, so we couldn't weigh in on that one just yet. We also talk about how the festival experience was — everything from the sound mix to the artists we watched. Later in the show we shift from music to bourbon with Reporter Stephen P. Schmidt telling us about his recent visit to Bardstown, Kentucky for the Kentucky Bourbon Festival. He talked about how a change in the footprint of that festival changed the experience. While he was in Bardstown, Schmidt also visited a new tasting room for Old SteelHouse Distillery. And, around the same time, he visited Heaven Hill Distilleries brand new office.

Several Louisville companies are led by CEOs that have chosen not to live in Louisville.But how much that matters seems to be up for debate — and we chat about that on this week's Access Louisville podcast.LBF Senior Reporter Joel Stinnett is on this week's show to talk about an in-depth report that he just finished on CEOs leading Louisville companies from somewhere else. Humana Inc., Yum Brands and Papa Johns International Inc. are a few big examples, but there are others as well. For the story, Stinnett talked to executives who said that not having the CEO present can impact both the community and the workplace culture.“When company leaders reside here, things get done,” including building stadiums, zoos, parks and so on, John Schnatter, former CEO of Papa Johns International Inc. told Stinnett. Others, such as Scott Catlett, formerly chief legal officer at Yum Brands Inc., spoke about how it can impact morale inside the workplace.On the other side of the issue, we heard from local executives like Trever Pawl, head of the Louisville Economic Development Alliance, who said the Louisville companies that have CEOs based elsewhere are among the largest and best-run in the world.‘We're just fortunate to have the global companies here that are reinvesting the way they are at a pretty rapid pace.”Also on this week's showLater in the show, Stinnett tells us about a new bourbon development coming to Broadway. Von Payne Spirits is planning to open a “Gothic-inspired” distillery and tasting room inside the former Whiteside's Bakery Co. building at 1400 W. Broadway, according to a news release. We also chat about the Courier Journal recently announcing plans to move out of its building. The news outlet's longtime home on Broadway is still for sale, however.Additionally, we discuss Bourbon & Beyond — one of two music festivals planned in Louisville in September (the other being Louder Than Life). Danny Wimmer Presents, the company behind those festivals recently struck an interesting deal with University of Louisville Athletics, which we talk about on the show.
