They Changed 90s Music Forever: Oasis, Nirvana, Snoop Dogg & The Untold Stories….This week, I'm opening The New Mind Podcast archive & bringing back two extraordinary conversations with two men who witnessed music history being made from completely different sides of the industry.These interviews were originally released when The New Mind Podcast was much smaller. Since then, the audience has grown enormously, so many of you will never have heard them.They're simply too good to stay buried in the archive!!So this episode features former Island Records Managing Director Marc Marot & legendary broadcaster & presenter of Channel 4's The Word, Terry Christian.Marc Marot spent his career at the heart of the international music business. He began at Blue Mountain Music, associated with the catalogues of Bob Marley & U2, before becoming the youngest Managing Director of Island Records at just 29.His career put him alongside some of the most important artists & movements in modern music, with Island during his tenure associated with artists including Ice Cube, NWA, Pulp, The Cranberries, Tricky, Stereo MC's, P.M. Dawn, Nine Inch Nails, The Orb, PJ Harvey & many moreMarc takes us behind the curtain of the record industry, sharing what happens when extraordinary talent, enormous personalities, money, ambition, creativity, pressure & fame collide.Then there's Terry Christian….For millions who grew up in Britain during the 1990s, Terry was the unmistakable face of Channel 4's The Word, one of the most controversial, anarchic & culturally significant youth television programmes of its generation.Long before YouTube, TikTok, Instagram or Spotify could launch an artist overnight, television could change a career.The Word became a platform for artists who would go on to dominate global music, including Nirvana, Snoop Dogg, Mary J. Blige, Jamiroquai & Oasis, whose appearance performing Supersonic became their first television performance.Terry takes us back inside that extraordinary period of British culture & talks about music, television, fame, class, controversy, celebrity & what was really happening behind the scenes.One man was helping shape music from inside one of the world's most influential record labels.The other was helping put a new generation of artists in front of millions of people.Together, their stories offer a remarkable window into an era before algorithms, influencers & social media, when record labels, television, radio, magazines & a handful of cultural gatekeepers could help determine what the world heard next.If you love 90s music, Britpop, Oasis, U2, Nirvana, hip hop, music documentaries, music industry stories, Channel 4's The Word or hearing what really happens behind fame, this episode is for you.Subscribe for conversations exploring psychology, culture, human behaviour, trauma, success, celebrity & the extraordinary stories behind extraordinary people.

This year’s festival features major performers including Mary J. Blige, Nelly, Charlie Wilson, SWV, Trey Songz, and more, drawing thousands of fans to Cincinnati for a weekend of music and community. The show also welcomed gospel superstar Kirk Franklin, who joined the conversation as excitement builds for the upcoming Stellar Gospel Music Awards, where he is set to host a star-studded night honoring gospel music’s biggest names. Meanwhile, the crew shared prayers and encouragement with listeners, creating several heartfelt moments that highlighted the show’s commitment to faith, family, and uplifting the community. The biggest entertainment story centered on the growing estate dispute involving late actor Chadwick Boseman. The crew discussed reports that his brothers have petitioned a court to remove his widow, Taylor Simone Ledward, as administrator of his estate, alleging that portions of the estate have not been fully distributed years after his passing. The show also spotlighted singer Nivea, who recently revealed that she has been undergoing treatment for leukemia and says the diagnosis has strengthened her faith, renewed her gratitude for life, and inspired her return to music. Between celebrity headlines, festival excitement, sports updates, and powerful moments of testimony and encouragement, the episode delivered the perfect blend of entertainment, information, and inspiration.

DEFENDANT: Midsomar  EVIDENCE: Sun Goddess Pinot Grigio SCENE OF THE CRIME: A Maypole Near You...  -- Hey friend — welcome to our bonus midsummer episode! We kick things off with playful banter about time, podcast firsts, and then dive into the lushly sunlit weirdness of Ari Aster's Midsommar while sipping Mary J. Blige's Sun Goddess Pinot Grigio. Expect gossip, gross food talk, and the kind of movie chat that makes you want to rewatch with a notebook. We nerd out on the Friuli region (hello rose-gold Pinot Grigio color!), savor juicy melon-and-nectarine tasting notes, and praise the wine for being both approachable and surprisingly complex. Then we pivot into the film: Florence Pugh's Dani, toxic boyfriend Christian, and that creeping daylight dread that makes Midsommar feel like artful folk horror instead of just jump scares. There's also a playful Midsommar traditions true/false quiz, heated opinions about who deserves what, and a long, affectionate breakdown of costumes, rituals, and the film's ambiguous place between indigenous practice and cult. We wrap with whether we'd join a cozy wine-loving cult (spoiler: yes — but only the Nancy Meyers version) and all the micro-joys that make this episode feel like a friend sitting on your patio, passing the bottle and whispering theories.

From powerful conversations to unforgettable BET Awards moments, this episode of The Rickey Smiley Morning Show delivered a mix of news, inspiration, and entertainment. The crew discussed the growing controversy surrounding 16-year-old Jeremiah Spearman, a Black teenager from Battle Creek, Michigan, who was stopped and handcuffed by police twice within just ten days while walking home. According to reports, the incidents have sparked renewed debate about racial profiling and the treatment of Black teens by law enforcement, with Spearman’s family saying the encounters left him traumatized while police maintain their actions were justified. The show also covered developments surrounding the bipartisan 21st Century ROAD to Housing Act, a housing affordability measure intended to increase home construction and reduce barriers to housing, though its future remains tied to ongoing political disagreements in Washington. Meanwhile, Da Brat highlighted Mary J. Blige’s candid reflections on her early career, where the R&B icon admitted she once treated people poorly and later sought out those she had offended to personally apologize. Live from the BET Awards, Gary With Da Tea brought listeners exclusive interviews and red-carpet moments, including conversations with Eric Benét, who discussed new music, a forthcoming young-adult fantasy book, and his outspoken views on social and political issues. The show also caught up with Muni Long, who shared an emotional update on her recovery following a lung transplant, urging people to reconsider organ donation while focusing on health, rest, and gratitude for a second chance at life. Later, Jeezy joined the crew for a thoughtful conversation about his upcoming documentary, personal growth, and his ongoing pursuit of peace and healing after reaching what he described as rock bottom. Jeezy reflected on learning that success and wealth alone do not guarantee fulfillment, emphasizing the importance of self-awareness, emotional control, and passing hard-earned wisdom on to the next generation. Alongside the serious discussions, the crew kept things light with classic Rickey Smiley humor, cruise updates, and the fan-favorite “Gary’s Tea” segments celebrating Black excellence from one of culture’s biggest nights.

Welcome to this week's Blonde Intelligence, I am your host Ms. Roni and I always seek to give you exquisite cranial repertoire. Drake's simultaneous release of three albums shattered streaming records and pushed him past Michael Jackson's long-standing tally of Billboard Hot 100 #1s for a male solo artist. In this episode we examine the ethics and context of that achievement: is bundling multiple releases at once a form of gaming the charts, or a savvy adaptation to streaming-era consumption? We place Drake's move alongside historical genre monarchs — Michael Jackson, Aretha Franklin, Elvis Presley, R. Kelly, Mary J. Blige, and T.I. — to ask where Drake fits in the taxonomy of contemporary musical "kings" and "queens." We also consider counterfactuals: had Michael Jackson's estate released multiple albums simultaneously, would the charts tell a different story? We analyze reaction creators from multiple generations who react to classic MJ moments, this episode balances data (chart rules, streaming counts, release strategies) with cultural analysis (legacy, generational access, and how reaction videos reshape listening habits). Listeners will come away with a clearer sense of how chart records are made today and what they mean for artistic legacy.#CrownsAndCharts #DrakeVsMJ #MusicIndustryEthics

Hosts Chuck Harmony and Claude Kelly of the genre-defining band, Louis York, sit down with the icon for an intimate, deeply reflective conversation that spans her legendary 20+ year journey in the music industry. From her early days as a teenage prodigy and powerhouse weapon of the elite writing collective The Clutch, to shaping global hits for artists like Britney Spears, Mary J. Blige, and Usher, Hilson peels back the layers on the intense pressure cooker of being a dominant force behind the scenes before stepping directly into the solo spotlight with massive anthems like "Pretty Girl Rock" and "Knock You Down." Nothing is left off the table as Hilson opens up about the devastating heartbreak and depression that followed her meteoric rise, detailing a period of profound "radio silence" where she felt deeply betrayed by her own dreams. She shares her raw, inspiring journey of clawing her way back to the light through spiritual retreats, journaling, and a relentless fight to reclaim her creative hunger. The trio explores her triumphant return with her visually stunning trilogy project (We Need to Talk Love, We Need to Talk Drama, We Need to Talk Redemption), a truthful "me versus me" body of work that re-establishes her voice on her own terms. With incredible behind-the-scenes revelations including how she and Ezekiel Lewis secretly catfished the world on Omarion's "Ice Box" vocals along with sharp, unfiltered critiques on the current state of music industry sonics and cancel culture, this episode is a masterclass in resilience and artistic integrity. Ultimately, Hilson's story is one of reclaiming her crown, finding profound gratitude in her design, and extending the same grace to herself that she has given to the world.

Big headlines, bigger conversations—this episode runs through a rapid-fire mix of global politics and celebrity tea, starting with King Charles III making waves with a “historic” speech tied to the U.S. Congress and what it signals about high-level diplomacy and public optics. From there, the show pivots into entertainment and culture, highlighting Mary J. Blige speaking proudly about being independent—framing it as a glow-up in ownership, control, and doing business on her own terms. The crew also tackles the internet’s favorite kind of clip: Ray J publicly sharing his body count, sparking the predictable swirl of reactions, jokes, side-eyes, and debates about oversharing and double standards in celebrity culture. And to top it off, Oprah Winfrey reportedly signing a multi-year deal with Amazon becomes a springboard for talk about power moves in streaming/media, what “big-name partnerships” mean right now, and why Oprah-level branding still shifts the whole room whenever she signs on the dotted line.
