Her poems and essays have been published in many outlets and her work has twice appeared in The Best American Poetry. Her poems often engage with visual art—especially art by Black women artists. This conversation is much about the body. On how we relate to nudity and nakedness, on being in the body as an artist and on living a fully sensual life. Ama shares about her writing process and ekphrastic poetry, and we also talk about the many ways we love outside of the mainstream definition of that word “love.”As we are moving into a new year I'm thinking about how Ama's book Bluest Nude and this conversation I had with her has been a great gift to my life this past year. I hope that if you don't already know her work that discovering it now might bring about this same opening in you. To find out more about the Hear Me Now exhibit at The Met that Ama mentioned, she kindly passed along this link: https://www.metmuseum.org/exhibitions/listings/2022/edgefieldYou can find Ama's work here: https://www.amacodjoe.com/This episode was audio produced by Katie McMurran.

If it’s your first time hearing about Madisen Ward and the Mama Bear, it likely won’t be your last. The duo, of Madisen and his mama bear Ruth, are absolutely exceptional musicians, who blend voices and acoustic guitar playing for a truly genuine auditory experience. We’ve been big fans of the folk duo since their first release, and can’t get enough of the music they make. So on the news that there was a new record, we tracked the pair down.

“You have to push yourself outside of your comfort zone. You have to allow yourself to fail. Once you get over the fear of failure, then you will start to find where your happiness lies, and if ‘good enough’ is sufficient or not.” - Jessica Alba This is the last episode of the season! I've really enjoyed the podcast medium, and I appreciate the audience that this show has gathered, so thank you for listening. The guest this week is Jessica Alba. She’s an incredibly successful actress and entrepreneur. She co-founded The Honest Company, which has not only been extremely successful and lucrative, but also something that’s positive. She’s acted in a number of movies including Honey, Into the Blue, Good Luck Chuck, Fantastic Four, and Sin City (where we first got to know each other). She’s incredibly talented, smart, and just such a cool person. She continues to push herself beyond her limits, which I think is what makes her the perfect guest to answer this week’s question from Rochelle Connery from Anchorage, Alaska.  Rochelle asked, “Any hints on how to push myself to achieve more than just ‘good enough?’” Jessica is clearly someone who continues to push boundaries. We had a great conversation about finding equilibrium and balance amongst pressure and stress, getting over the fear of failure, how to battle insecurity, using boundaries to expand your creativity, and how Jessica has used stereotypes and low expectations to drive herself and empower others.   Even though this is the last episode, you can ask a question or continue the conversation on Twitter, Facebook, and Instagram using the #creativeprocessing.

“There’s times before my mom and I are about to go onstage to play together, and maybe we just argued right before going on. But there’s something about that moment... where I give her a kiss on the cheek and say, ‘Hey, this started with you and me. Let’s go out there and do this.’” -Madisen Ward My guests this week are Madisen and Ruth Ward, who together are known as the mother-and-son folk band Madisen Ward and the Mama Bear. They’ve appeared on the Late Show with David Letterman, NPR’s Tiny Desk Series, and recently released a brand new album called Started With A Family (if you haven’t heard their music yet, I highly suggest you take a listen).  For this episode, Madisen, Ruth and I tackled a question from Paige Elson from Stockton, California. Paige asked, “What are the benefits and setbacks of working creatively with family?” I’ve always been curious to know how family fits into creativity. Where does creativity come from? Do you get it from your parent’s genes or from the upbringing they provided? Madisen and Ruth brought such an interesting perspective to this question. We talked about how Ruth’s career transformed after she became a mom, how writing and performing music is different when collaborating with family members, what role music played in the Ward household, and we topped it all off with a question about a crab’s perspective. If you have a question about the creative process, that you think would spawn a good conversation on this show, ask me on Instagram, Facebook, or Twitter tagged #creativeprocessing, or by emailing creativeprocessing@hitrecord.org. New episodes are coming out every Tuesday through October 22, 2019. ------ ABOUT THE GUESTS: Madisen Ward and the Mama Bear consists of Madisen Ward and Ruth Ward. They are a modern soulful/folk music duo from Independence, Mo. The band's debut album Skeleton Crew, produced by Jim Abbiss, known for his award-winning work with Arctic Monkeys and Adele, captures Madisen Ward and the Mama Bear in their most natural setting. The two tracked most of the tracks live, sitting across from one another in the recording studio. They didn't use a click track. With help from a handful of session musicians, the two Wards captured the sound they'd been making since those coffeeshop days.  ------  SELECTED LINKS FOR EPISODE: Connect with Madisen and Ruth: -Twitter: @MadisenWardMB -Instagram: @MadisenWardMB -Facebook: Madisen Ward and the Mama Bear -YouTube Channel (One For the Record Series) -MadisenWardandtheMamaBear.com Madisen Ward and the Mama Bear Music Mentioned: -Started With A Family (2019) -Skeleton Crew (2015) -"Dead Daffodils" -"Undertaker and Juniper" MadisenMusic Music Mentioned: -“Skip and the Turtle” -“Weep for the King” -“Big Bad Wolfblood” Other Music Mentioned: -Orphans: Brawlers, Bawlers & Bastards by Tom Waits -“Old Man” by Neil Young -“Clown’s Lament”by @Metaphorest on HITRECORD -Pink Moon by Nick Drake People Mentioned: -Isiah Whitlock Jr. (Actor and Ruth’s Brother) -Tom Waits (Singer-Songwriter) -Tracy Chapman (Singer-Songwriter) -Mark Knopfler (Singer-Songwriter) -Bob Dylan (Singer-Songwriter) -The Osmonds (Family Music Group) -Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Composer) -The White Stripes (Musical Group) -Wu-Tang Clan (Hip Hop Group) TV Shows Mentioned: -The Wire (2002-2008) -MacGyver (1985-1992)

This week's episode of Eight One Sixty is all about Crossroads Music Fest 2019, happening this Saturday, Sept. 7 in the Crossroads Arts District. The fest features 30+ acts in six venues, with CrossroadsKC hosting the headliners, Madisen Ward and the Mama Bear. The fest is run by KKFI 90.1 FM and organized by Bill Sundahl. Sundahl joins us for the show and we’ll play music from several acts at the fest, including: Madisen Ward and the Mama Bear, The Fey (from Lincoln, NE), The Freedom Affair, Amy Farrand and The Like, Crystal Rose Music, True Lions, My Brothers and Sisters, Violet and the Undercurrents, The Creepy Jingles and Kirsten Paludan. Tune in to get the scoop and all the logistics about the event. 

Madisen and Ruth Ward of “Madisen Ward and the Mama Bear” started long before the child of the mother-son duo was born. During her career as a solo artist, Ruth Ward began inviting her son Madisen on stage to join her live performances in coffee shops in the Kansas City Metro. The band has gone on to play with greats like B.B. King and Old Crow Medicine Show and gained national attention for their hits like “Silent Movies” and “Yellow Taxi.” Their second album, “The Radio Winners,” shows the depth and talent of the band and their unique take on folk music.

Madisen Ward & the Mama Bear are often considered an Americana band but much of their work defies easy categorization. Last year, they sat down with guest host, KE Luther, to discuss how they arrived at their distinctive sound.  This episode includes live performances of "Hell and Back," "Everybody's Got Problems," and "Mother Mary." Recorded at KDHX in St. Louis, Missouri on September 21, 2018. Jon Valley served as music engineer.

The relationship between mothers and sons as depicted in the arts is complex and, as anyone familiar with Medea's story will attest, not always terribly positive. As Lauren Laverne discovers, however, there are many examples of stories, films and dramas in which the love between mums and sons is very much celebrated, and as a mother of two boys herself, Lauren is very keen to unpick the particular facets of the relationship as depicted on page, stage and screen. She meets Sophie Ellis Bextor, mother of four boys, and hears about carving out a space in which she can continue her career as a singer - even if that has meant at times recording songs with a baby in her arms. Patrick Ness is the author of the novel 'A Monster Calls' and also wrote the screenplay for the successful film. He tells Lauren how the story, about a boy dealing with the imminent death of his mum from cancer, was originally conceived by another author, Siobhan Dowd, who died before getting chance to complete it. Madisen Ward and the Mama Bear, a highly successful mother and son band from Kansas, talk about how they came to play together and the various upsides of being together on the road. Finally, Lauren meets Jonathan Butterell and Dan Gillespie Sells, who helped create the West End hit 'Everybody's Talking About Jamie', the musical version of a true story about a teenage boy from County Durham who is determined to go to the school prom in a dress. The story appealed to both Jonathan and Dan because each of them recognised the 'fierce and open hearted relationship' they shared with their own mothers. Presenter: Lauren Laverne Producer: Geoff Bird.
