Podcast appearances and mentions of Martina McBride

Hey Family Brand—it's Melissa here, and this episode is just for the girls. Inspired by that old Martina McBride song (yes, I looked it up—2003!), I wanted to sit down and have a really honest chat about womanhood. From postpartum recovery to hormones, breast implants, Hashimoto's, perimenopause, and trying to figure out what wellness even means in your 40s—this is the episode I wish I had heard years ago. And honestly? I hope it's one Ivy listens to one day when she's grown. Because we don't talk about this stuff enough. I take you all the way back to my post-baby journey—five kids in 10 years, either pregnant or nursing—and what that did to my body. I share what it looked like to start exploring functional medicine, get my hormones checked, and find out I had Hashimoto's (surprise!). I've been learning how to support my body ever since—less guessing, more intention. And yep… I talk about my decision to get a breast augmentation after baby number five. The good, the not-so-great, and the wild hospital story that followed (spoiler alert: not my favorite memory). I also talk about how much your environment and the people around you influence how you feel about your body—and why I might have made a different choice if I were living somewhere else at the time. Now at 40, I'm experimenting again. Weighted vests, walking, lifting heavy, gut health, and tracking my cycle—all things I'm learning about to support this season of life. I want to be strong. I want to be healthy. I want to be that 81-year-old hiking in Hawaii and wrestling grandkids on the beach. And I know that future starts now. This isn't a how-to or a prescription. It's just my story. But if you're on your own health journey—and wondering if you're doing it “right”—I hope this reminds you that you're not alone. You don't have to have it all figured out. You just have to keep showing up.

Episode 316: Sean McConnell was born to do this. His parents were working songwriters who helped him get started as a teen in Atlanta. He landed a long-term song publishing deal while still in school at MTSU and earned cuts by Tim McGraw, Martina McBride, Brett Young, and the TV show Nashville. Over 15 recordings - his latest is the lovely and agonizingly honest Skin - McConnell has become a beloved troubadour on the indie folk circuit and an honorary red dirt Texas poet through extensive touring there. Now he's grown as a producer working out of his unique studio in Nolensville. I made a trip down there to interview Sean in his cozy working habitat.

613 Part 1 of out chat with Ana Croegaert about the removal of Confederate monuments. We also talked to her about her participation in second line parades around the city. “In 2017, the City of New Orleans removed four segregation-era monuments celebrating the Southern Confederacy and valorizing white supremacist ideology. As in other cities, efforts to remove such monuments are not new, and historically have been connected to collective challenges to racialized inequality, and more recently to transnational postcolonial struggles. Given the longstanding activism in favor of removing such monuments I ask, Why now? In exploring this question, I examine the circulation of images, talk, and text about the monuments in relation to the city's post-2005 political economy and find that people's expressed sentiments regarding the statues illuminate the ongoing challenges faced by New Orleans' multiracial working-class and poor residents. I argue that the city administration's framing of the monuments as emblems of an unequal past decouples the monuments' removal from the urgent need to meaningfully address present inequalities.”   “I am a Chicago-based anthropologist working with ethnography, performance, and artmaking to expand awareness of people's creative efforts to deal with the aftermath of harm and to craft hopeful futures. From coffee cultures to public memorials, my work spans kitchen cupboards, urban gardens, and city streets to record how people make meaning in their daily lives.” Now available: Liberty in Louisiana: A Comedy.

 We talk with Alice Wallace on this episode about her recent release “Here I Am,” (released June 2024) imposter syndrome, and the endless way to write a song.     Four years ago, Alice moved to Nashville after more than a decade in southern California, and Here I Am is the first of her albums to be recorded in true Music City style, backed by alineup of world-class musicians and recorded in two whirlwind days with no rehearsal. Produced by Nick Buda (Taylor Swift, Martina McBride, Dolly Parton), the album features some of the most talented musicians Music City has to offer. In addition to Nick Buda on drums, the record features GRAMMY-winning guitarist Kenny Greenberg (Willie Nelson, Wynonna Judd, Hayes Carll), bassist Ted Pecchio (Doyle Bramhall II, Susan Tedeschi), and keyboardist Jimmy Wallace (The Wallflowers).   “This is an album about reclaiming myself–as an artist, as a woman, and as a person navigating a world that is beautiful and confusing and harsh,” she says. Since releasing her last LP, her life has changed immensely - a cross-country move, a career unexpectedly halted in 2020, falling in lovemore deeply than before, and being heartbroken more painfully than she ever knew she could be. “All of those changes gave me a chance to examine myself in ways I never had. This album covers a spectrum of emotion I haven't been brave enough to share on an album before,” she continues. “This album is me.”   Check Alice out here—  Website: https://www.alicewallacemusic.com  IG: Alicewallacemusic  Facebook: Alice Wallace

But after that, the most powerful part is the power of the perfect question at the right time to unlock clarity.     This is a time to pause, look back, and celebrate everything this year brought us, whether it was a win, a challenge, or a lesson.  Today, we are going to reflect on personal growth and achievements. Timestamps: 02:01 - The Magic of Coaching: Why Asking the Right Questions Changes Everything 04:43 - My Risky and Significant Act Obedience 08:15 - Deep Thoughts : Questions to Help You Measure Your Growth and Acheivements 12:58 - Cue the Confetti: Celebrating Your Growth 13:11 - My Top Picks: My Must-Have Recommendations     Recommendations of things that I love: The peak Christmas song for me, with the only voice for Christmas, is  Martina McBride's Oh Holy Night.    My second recommendation is a TV show on Apple TV: Disclaimer. It's only seven episodes. It's simple, full of twists, and a thriller that's really well made. The subject matter is a little heavy, but if you like something a little twisty, this is the show for you.   WATCH NOW: Watch on YouTube   Links to great things I discussed today (podcast):  Finishing Strong Workbook Holly Jolly Christmas Spotify Playlist Why Christmas Music is So Old Oh Holy Night - Martina McBride Disclaimer Create a Course Alli Worthington on YouTube Remaining You While Raising Them Little Things Studio   Delightful stocking stuffers and Christmas gifts at  Little Things Studio!

Justin is joined by John Michael Heath from EAP Society for a thorough examination of the 2008 album "Christmas Duets" which paired Elvis' original vocal tracks from 1957 and 1971 with 1:1 re-creations of the backing tracks and some of the biggest female entertainers in the field of country music at the time: Carrie Underwood, Martina McBride, Wynonna Judd, Gretchen Wilson and others, as well as bringing in a couple entertainers Elvis himself had been a fan of in the 70s: Olivia Newton-John and Anne Murray.  Often written off as a mere cash-grab, the duo discuss the careers of the album's producers, the talented studio band brought in to replicate the original arrangements, and several other guests that reveal a more nuanced picture of a likely genuine tribute to Elvis that ended up trying to play things too safe and went awry in the process - and the guys ponder what makes artificial duets work or flop. They also discuss the exciting news about Peter Guralnick's upcoming book, now officially confirmed as "The Colonel and the King," releasing August 5, 2025.  For Song of the Week, John's selection of "I Was Born About Ten Thousand Years Ago," the traditional folk song which Elvis used to link the 1970 concept album "Elvis Country," and the version by Brownie McGhee that Elvis is known to have taken inspiration from, suddenly opens doors that lead to the histories behind numerous other Elvis recordings that will blow you mind, including (but not limited to) our other Song of the Week, "Adam and Evil" from "Spinout."

In this episode, I sit down with singer-songwriter James Slater! James Slater has written songs for Rascal Flatts, Tim McGraw, Jamey Johnson, Keith Urban, Kenny Chesney, Willie Nelson, and Martina McBride. James has pretty much seen it all. From living in places like Miami, the Panama Canal, and Switzerland, he has so many stories to share. After spending years writing in LA and touring Europe with guys like Huey Lewis and Bruce Hornsby, he ended up settling in Nashville with one really specific goal: to be this city's “piano man”. We're going to dive into his story where we learn how he wrote High Cost of Living (nominated for song of the year) with Jamey Johnson, and In My Daughter's Eyes, released by Martina McBride. He shares many more stories, like how he once ran into Garth Brooks at Pancake Pantry and that time he had three legends—Willie Nelson, Emmylou Harris, and Rodney Crowell—cut his song, Open Season On My Heart. We discussed his remarkable career, working with country legends, and how authenticity has shaped his success. He performed a few hits and shared how perseverance and community have influenced his journey with music.

Lo is joined by four-time Grammy nominated producer, songwriter and singer Claude Kelly to go behind the music. He's written music and produced for some of the most iconic artists in the music industry. Michael Jackson, Whitney Houston, Bruno Mars, Miley Cyrus, Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, Martina McBride, Jessie J and Kelly Clarkson are just some of the artists he has collaborated with and written hits for. The native New Yorker opens up about breaking into the music industry at a young age. He speaks candidly about his experience growing up in NYC in the early 90's. The city was on the cusp of a sexual revolution and a new sound of hip hop was emerging. The vibrant music and culture surrounding him paired with a classical music background and gospel influence gave the young artist a vast appreciation for different genres and an eclectic palette he would later harness in his career with emerging artists. He shares a story about meeting Britney Spears, writing one of her biggest hits at the height of her career, working with artists, avoiding Diddy parties and his big break.

Four years ago, Alice Wallace moved to Nashville after more than a decade in southern California, and 'Here I Am' is the first of her albums to be recorded in true Music City style, backed by a lineup of world-class musicians and recorded in two whirlwind days with no rehearsal.  Produced by Nick Buda (Taylor Swift, Martina McBride, Dolly Parton), the album features some of the most talented musicians Music City has to offer. In addition to Nick Buda on drums, the record features GRAMMY-winning guitarist Kenny Greenberg (Willie Nelson, Wynonna Judd, Hayes Carll), bassist Ted Pecchio (Doyle Bramhall II, Susan Tedeschi), and keyboardist Jimmy Wallace (The Wallflowers).  The album's title hints at her deeply personal, confessional songwriting style, one that invites the listener to gaze at her beating heart as each intimate secret pours out, propelled by a powerful, expressive delivery that marks her as one of the true vocal talents of her generation.  Topics discussed include empathy in songwriting, the breakthrough of pursuing music full-time, the move to Nashville, recording in the snow, and more. ______________ This episode is brought to you by Magic Mind.

Colt and David sit down with singer/songwriter Hannah Ellis.  Curb Records recording artist Hannah Ellis' journey – and world – is one all can feel at home in. The Campbellsville, Kentucky-native's voice - a mix of favorite flannel, sparkling pink wine and welcome - is the friend we always wanted. Whether pouring from a car radio or your phone, the act named to Rolling Stone's “Artist To Watch” list reminds you big leaps often come as a series of small steps when no one is looking. Having paid for her University of Kentucky degree with her full-ride scholarship, she – with the full support of her family – started chasing her dreams. Like so many, that meant a trip to The Voice on NBC, a self-financed EP, and moving to Nashville to begin the endless rounds of writers nights, meetings, making friends, and trying to find your way. Hannah paid her dues, kept her focus and kept moving towards something she was sure she felt and knew was right. The fresh-faced songwriter has since written songs recorded by artists, and been featured as a vocalist on songs, spanning multiple genres, including: Russell Dickerson, Carly Pearce, for KING & COUNTRY, Danielle Bradbery, and Francesca Battestelli. The magnetic artist, who made her Grand Ole Opry debut on Sept 28th, 2023, has toured with Gavin DeGraw, Dwight Yoakam, Carly Pearce, Martina McBride, Billy Currington, Jake Owen and many others, and has toured as part of the CMT “Next Women of Country” Tour.Website: www.hannahellismusic.comFacebook: www.facebook.com/hannahellismusicInstgram: www.instagram.com/hannahgreyellisTwitter (X): www.twitter.com/hannahgreyellisTikTok: www.tiktok.com/@hannahgreyellisYouTube: https://www.youtube.com/c/hannahgreyellis/videosSpotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2X0AxEXX0KGKIhMxo1WvjQSend us a textSupport the Show.Check out our socials and follow us!Facebook: www.facebook.com/TwangTownPodcastInstagram: www.instagram.com/TwangTownPodTwitter: www.twitter.com/TwangTownPodWe would love your support to continue to bring listeners amazing content!Cash App: www.cash.app/$TwangTownPodBuzzsprout: https://www.buzzsprout.com/2232176/support

Rebecca Lynn Howard is today's guest on Stories Behind the Songs! Rebecca is an artist and songwriter who has cuts with artists like Martina McBride, Trisha Yearwood, and John Michael Montgomery. Her 2002 single, Forgive, is a crowd-favorite here at The Listening Room, so we dive into the story behind that song – including how Faith Hill almost cut it until Rebecca played it for her own A&R guy and knew it was meant for her.  In this episode, we also discuss her clever 2024 single, "Hoedown” written with Nathan and Stephanie Chapman, her longtime friendship and collaborative relationship with Lee Brice, being influenced by all-time great vocalist, Trisha Yearwood, and playing bass in her band, The Loving Mary Band, which was featured on Steven Tyler's 2016 country album, We're All Somebody From Somewhere. Rebecca also performs a killer verse/chorus of “Forgive” and “Hoedown”.  With an album coming out in the next year and continuing to tour on-and-off with Lee Brice, make sure to stay tuned with all that Rebecca has going on!

Gordon Mote, a piano player and musician who was blind from birth, shares with us the discovery of his astounding musical abilities at the age of three to being one of the first in the U.S. to enter the public school system as a blind student and overcoming all the unique challenges that would ultimately shape him into the musical legend he is today. With two Grammy Award nominations, twenty-one Academy of Country Music Award nominations, and three-time recipient of the Academy of Country Music Keyboard/Piano Player of the Year, Gordon has collaborated with renowned artists, including Alan Jackson, Brad Paisley, Blake Shelton, Martina McBride, Bob Seger, Rascal Flatts, Carrie Underwood, Lionel Richie, Josh Turner, Darius Rucker, The Gaither Vocal Band, The Martins, Triumphant Quartet, and Alison Krauss. Despite his numerous accolades, Gordon shows no signs of slowing down from using his gifts to the fullest and also reflects on how his own faith and support from others have helped him along the way.   Quotes “There I was, just a little bitty three year old, sitting on the piano, barely big enough to reach the keys, and I was playing ‘Jesus Loves Me' with both hands. That's how you know it's a God thing—it's just a miracle. It's one of those things that God does that's totally unexplainable, and yet, He can do all the things. His ways are not our ways.” - Gordon Mote  “Pretty much every day of my life, my morning routine is to get my cup of coffee, get in my office, and just start my day in the Word—trying to be open-minded, open hearted…just hear what God is saying to me.” - Gordon Mote  “When you have the hope of Christ in your life, you're able to live that and share that with others—now more than ever.” - Gordon Mote  “People say they love you all the time, but I don't know of anyone who proved it any more than Jesus did on the cross. So I'm very grateful for that and grateful that He allows me to share the gospel in all the ways that He does.” - Gordon Mote    Guest's Links Gordon Mote's website Gordon Mote's Facebook Gordon Mote's Instagram Gordon Mote's Twitter   Resources Mentioned in This Episode Alabama School for the Blind  Jacksonville State University Belmont University Lee Greenwood Tanya Tucker Trisha Yearwood Alan Jackson Josh Turner Darius Rucker Brad Paisley James Taylor Lionel Richie Bob Seger Alabama George Strait Steven Curtis Chapman Chris Tomlin Matthew West Connect with Sally Lloyd-Jones Jesus Storybook Bible Facebook Jesus Storybook Bible Instagram  Sally's website Sally's Facebook Sally's Instagram   *Episode produced by Four Eyes Media*
