What happens when a message meant for the wrong drummer leads to the right band? On this episode of Bringin' It Backwards, Adam Lisicky sits down with Andres and Patrick of Stockholm's own Self Deception to unravel a musical story packed with serendipity, stubborn determination, and fearless reinvention. From awkward high school musicals to their earliest days hustling through Stockholm's music scene, Andres and Patrick talk candidly about band origins, creative breakthroughs, and why they never fit neatly into Sweden's rock landscape. It's not all easy—Andres opens up about lonely beginnings, bold gestures for love, and using music to finally feel seen. The guys share how the Internet—and a relentless DIY spirit—helped them push past gatekeepers, build a global fanbase, and raise enough funds in just days to record on their own terms. You'll hear the real story behind viral tracks like “Hysteria” and “Matthew McConaughey,” their adventures in touring and crowdfunding, and what it's like to finally embrace total creative freedom with their upcoming album, Destroy the Art. Expect honest advice, plenty of laughs, and a reminder that every overnight success is years in the making. If you're an aspiring artist (or just love a great band origin story), you do not want to miss this one. Listen now and don't forget to subscribe for more of the real stories behind the music on Bringin' It Backwards.

It's time for another label spotlight, as we count down some of the best singles from the legendary New Zealand indie Flying Nun Records. Joining us for this discussion is a musician who, despite being on the other side of the world in Los Angeles, has felt the impact of Flying Nun very profoundly - Sharif Dumani from Exploding Flowers. Flying Nun was formed in Christchurch in 1981 by music store manager Roger Shepherd.  Described by The Guardian as "one of the world's great independent labels", Flying Nun is notable for bringing global attention to the "Dunedin Sound", often characterized by jangly guitars and a lo-fi, DIY production. Pivotal bands on the Flying Nun in the '80s and '90s include The Clean, The Chills, The Bats, Tall Dwarfs, Sneaky Feelings, Straitjacket Fits, 3Ds, Look Blue Go Purple, The Verlaines, and Jean-Paul Sartre Experience. The label continues to flourish, with a crop of 21st century artists like Betchadupa, Aldous Harding, Fazerdaze, The Courtneys, and Vera Allen. Exploding Flowers are a Los Angeles quartet who have crafted their own universe of guitar-based pop, with its flourishes of piano, organ, synthesizers, vibraphone and glockenspiel on top of a foundational rhythm section. Led by Sharif Dumani, who has worked with a variety of artists from '60s underground heroes Nick Garrie and Silver Apples; punk and post-punk pioneers such as Alice Bag (The Bags), Rachel Love (Dolly Mixture), Jowe Head (Swell Maps, Television Personalities), and Nikki Sudden (Swell Maps); and artists and bands like Cody Chesnutt, Sex Stains, the Moon Upstairs, Classics Of Love, and many more. Watermelon/Peacock is Exploding Flowers' third release packed with analog production, poetic lyricism, and the same strong melodies and hooks we've now come to expect from a band that prioritizes its songwriting with smart left turns. Both economic and expansive, they utilize all measures to craft something both beautiful, grand, and driving.

Cutting your budget doesn't have to mean cutting joy out of your life. With a bit of creativity and intention, you can save money while still enjoying what truly matters. Here's how to bring more purpose—and even fun—into your spending plan.Before diving into practical steps, begin with prayer. Ask God to help you cultivate contentment, because wise spending starts with a heart that trusts Him. As Paul reminds us in 1 Timothy 6:6, “But godliness with contentment is great gain.” Budgeting isn't just about numbers; it's about aligning your heart with gratitude for what God has already provided.1. Try a “Pantry Challenge” MonthCommit to eating what you already have in your fridge, freezer, and pantry for an entire month. You'll reduce grocery spending and uncover forgotten items—maybe even a few surprises. Free apps like SuperCook or Cooklist can help you find creative recipes using your existing ingredients, turning the challenge into a fun family adventure.2. Create a Family Fun FundEntertainment doesn't have to be expensive. Set a monthly cap for fun activities and get the whole family involved in choosing them. One week could be a hike and picnic at the park; another, a cozy movie night at home with popcorn and dollar-store candy. This approach teaches that joy isn't tied to a price tag.3. Swap Babysitting with Another FamilyChildcare can be costly, but community is a gift. Partner with another family you trust to take turns watching each other's kids. One week, you get a date night, the next they do—and no one spends a dime. You'll save money, build relationships, and create margin in your budget.4. Take On One Service YourselfPick one recurring expense and try handling it yourself for a season—such as washing the car, mowing the lawn, or grooming the dog. You may save more than you expect and even gain a new skill or appreciation for the task.5. Declare a Monthly “No-Spend” WeekendChoose one weekend a month to spend nothing beyond the essentials. Use the time to rest, reconnect, and enjoy free or low-cost activities, such as playing board games, going for a hike, or visiting the library. Turn it into a family challenge by deciding together how to use the extra savings for giving, saving, or a future treat.6. Practice the 30-Day RuleWhen tempted by a big purchase—like a gadget or appliance—write it down with the date and wait 30 days. If you still want it and it fits the budget after a month, you can move forward with confidence. More often than not, the urge will pass, and you'll keep your money where it belongs.None of these ideas is earth-shattering—and that's the beauty of them. Real transformation often comes from small, consistent decisions: choosing contentment over consumption, planning over impulse. Each intentional step strengthens your financial stewardship and, even more importantly, your trust in God.When your kids see you making wise choices, they learn the importance of being a good steward. When your spouse feels included, it builds unity. And when you invite God into your day-to-day financial decisions—even the small ones—you'll see His faithfulness in significant ways.A Tool to Help You Stay on Track: The FaithFi AppIf you're ready to take the next step in intentional budgeting, the FaithFi app is a great place to start.

Few television characters have managed to leave such an indelible mark on global comedy as Mr Bean, Rowan Atkinson's rubber-faced master of physical awkwardness and innocent mischief. In this episode, Beth and Jimmy delve into Bean's story, from his creation during Atkinson's Oxford days to the blend of mime, slapstick, and absolute timing that made him universally beloved. They explore how Mr Bean crashed onto British TV screens in 1990 in a world dominated by dialogue-heavy sitcoms, using minimal speech and maximum chaos to turn everyday troubles into epic absurdity that speaks to all ages and backgrounds. Listeners will hear about the universe of Mr Bean: his lavender flat, hapless exploits with trusty Mini, and his touching friendship with Teddy. From outlandish escapades at church, department stores, and the launderette to epic quests for breakfast, Bean's often logic-defying actions are examined for both comic brilliance and their subtle social commentary. Beth and Jimmy also break down how even Bean's signature adversary—the blue Reliant Regal—became a comic legend in its own right. This episode brings out the genius underlying Mr Bean's seemingly simple style. Atkinson's fine control of gesture and facial movement, his calculated avoidance of dialogue, and his relentless pursuit of inventive solutions create comedy that bridges divides of language and culture. For children, Mr Bean is a fellow explorer of possibility; for adults, he is a mirror to the British eccentric quietly rebelling against expectation. Beth and Jimmy discuss the reach of Mr Bean—sold to 245 countries, viewed by billions, and now an icon on YouTube and in animation—shedding light on why Bean remains fresh, funny, and ever relevant. The journey continues with Mr Bean's transformation into movies, animated series, and viral digital stardom. Listeners learn how Bean's influence has spilled into global comedy, education, and even language-learning, while Atkinson's own reflections reveal the risks and rewards of playing a beloved character for decades. Bean's ongoing adventures highlight not just failed DIY fixes and pratfalls, but deeper truths about resilience, loneliness, and the universal nature of laughter. Beth and Jimmy wrap up by reflecting on why Mr Bean stands as a monument to pure comedy—a series understood in any language, by any age, at any moment. With classic scenes, new animated escapades, and a presence that endures from television to social media memes, Mr Bean offers proof that humanity's oddest failures are often its most beloved strengths. This episode is a celebration of the timeless joy that only the strangest child-in-a-man's-body could provide.

The Book of Travels Ḥannā Diyāb: A Conversation with Johannes StephanThe Book of Travels is Ḥannā Diyāb's remarkable first-person account of his travels as a young man from his hometown of Aleppo to the court of Versailles and back again, which forever linked him to one of the most popular pieces of world literature, the Thousand and One Nights.Diyāb, a Maronite Christian, served as a guide and interpreter for the French naturalist and antiquarian Paul Lucas. Between 1706 and 1716, Diyāb and Lucas traveled through Syria, Cyprus, Egypt, Tripolitania, Tunis, Italy, and France. In Paris, Ḥannā Diyāb met Antoine Galland, who added to his wildly popular translation of the Thousand and One Nights several tales related by Diyāb, including “Aladdin” and “Ali Baba and the Forty Thieves.” When Lucas failed to make good on his promise of a position for Diyāb at Louis XIV's Royal Library, Diyāb returned to Aleppo. In his old age, he wrote this engaging account of his youthful adventures, from capture by pirates in the Mediterranean to quack medicine and near-death experiences.Translated into English for the first time, The Book of Travels introduces readers to the young Syrian responsible for some of the most beloved stories from the Thousand and One Nights.

When most teenagers are worried about getting their driver's license, David Hahn was busy building a nuclear reactor in his mom's backyard shed using smoke detectors, camping lanterns, and an alarming amount of duct tape. Meet the "Radioactive Boy Scout" who turned earning a merit badge into a federal nuclear incident.In this episode of History's Greatest Idiots, we explore the jaw-dropping true story of a 17-year-old Michigan teenager who catfished the Nuclear Regulatory Commission, stockpiled radioactive materials from household items, and successfully built a functioning neutron source that contaminated an entire neighbourhood in what became one of America's most bizarre nuclear accidents.From dismantling hundreds of smoke detectors for americium to posing as "Professor Hahn" to trick government scientists into sending him nuclear reactor blueprints, David's quest for atomic energy turned suburban Michigan into a Superfund cleanup site and sparked a major nuclear security investigation costing taxpayers hundreds of thousands of dollars.Join us as we dive into how one ambitious Boy Scout's backyard science experiment nearly irradiated five city blocks, fooled federal agencies, and became one of the most terrifying examples of DIY nuclear physics and teenage overachievement in American history. Spoiler alert: it doesn't end well for the Nuclear Boy Scout.⁠https://www.patreon.com/HistorysGreatestIdiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/historysgreatestidiots⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Artist: Sarah Chey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.fiverr.com/sarahchey⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Animation: Daniel Wilson⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/wilson_the_wilson/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Music: Andrew Wilson⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/andrews_electric_sheep⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Want to create live streams like this?

In this episode of the No Film School Podcast, GG Hawkins sits down with filmmaker Macon Blair to discuss his journey from scrappy DIY filmmaking in Virginia to directing the 2025 reimagining of the cult classic The Toxic Avenger. The film hits theaters today, and Blair shares how he balanced homage and originality, kept the humor grounded in absurdity, and tackled the long production process. He also reflects on his start in the industry, the value of creative community, and what it really means to stick it out in an unpredictable industry. In this episode, No Film School's GG Hawkins and guest Macon Blair discuss... Macon's early days making VHS films with friends and how that creative community shaped his career The years-long journey from writing spec scripts to directing Sundance winner I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore How Macon was approached to write The Toxic Avenger and how it evolved into his directorial role Reimagining a cult classic while staying true to its outrageous tone and aesthetic How comedy and absurdity play into horror and action, and the challenge of balancing tone The production process in Bulgaria and collaborating with an international crew Designing the film's gritty, stylized world—from production design to costumes and camera movement Lessons from the editing room and how to let audience feedback shape the final cut Macon's advice for emerging filmmakers about perseverance, collaboration, and flexibility Memorable Quotes: “I just wanted to do something with movies... if it's writing, great. If it's acting, great. If it's driving a truck, great.” “We would just pitch things back and forth, and if a line or a reaction would get a laugh from enough people, then it would be like, alright, put it in the movie.” “You have to be flexible enough or open enough to kind of be like, oh, I didn't construct things the correct way. And I kind of owe it to you for you to not be confused.” “Preparation versus flexibility—having everything prepared to the nth degree, and being prepared to totally drop it if you need to.” Guests: Macon Blair Resources: Macon Blair on I Don't Feel at Home in This World Anymore (No Film School interview) Get tickets to The Toxic Avenger (Look Cinemas) Follow GG Hawkins's feature I Really Love My Husband on Instagram Find No Film School everywhere: On the Web: No Film School Facebook: No Film School on Facebook Twitter: No Film School on Twitter YouTube: No Film School on YouTube Instagram: No Film School on Instagram

We dive deep into the making of their latest album, III — their most powerful and emotionally resonant release yet.Laura opens up about the five-year gap between albums, much of which was shaped by family life, creative resets, and the band's commitment to authenticity. We explore how having a child and taking time away from the road gave them the space to refine their sound and make a record that truly represents where Kingwitch is today.We also get into the DIY nature of the band — with Laura contributing graphic design and Jamie (guitarist/partner) handling production and mixing duties. You'll hear stories about recording in their home studio, experimenting with fretless bass, and even using their child's xylophone on the record!
