Toe pick! If you don't love The Cutting Edge, something is seriously wrong with you. This week Dart Adams and Paul Gagliardi drop in to talk about the history behind the 1992 cult classic and why we love it so damn much. About our guests:Dart Adams is a historian, journalist and a lecturer from Boston, MA. His work has appeared in various online & print publications including Complex, NPR, Mass Appeal, Okayplayer, DJ Booth, Hip Hop Wired, The Urban Daily, The Vinyl Factory, uDiscover Music, Urban Legends, LEVEL, Ebony, Rock The Bells, Andscape (ESPN), Bay State Banner, Boston Globe Magazine, and Boston Magazine. He's also the owner/operator of independent imprint label Producers I Know/Fat Beats and host of Dart Against Humanity and the Boston Legends Podcast.Dr. Paul Gagliardi is an associate teaching professor at Marquette University. His primary fields of research are twentieth-century American cultural studies, drama and performance studies, labor studies, and film studies.  And his research focuses on the intersection between economic calamity, theories of work and labor, and the performative art people produce during eras like the Great Depression.  In his courses, he emphasizes understanding the historical, social, and cultural context of texts, but also now our contemporary readings problematize literature.  He also fosters interdisciplinary dialogue between all fields in his courses, and supports students with both their academic and professional goals.His book, All Play and No Work:  American Work Ideals and the Comic Plays of the Federal Theatre Project (Temple University Press, 2023), examines how select comedies produced by the federal government during the Great Depression portrayed complicated norms of working and labor.  I argue that many plays actually subverted norms of traditional labor or promoted alternative forms of working to audiences during the 1930s.  My writing on the Federal Theatre Project and other subjects, such as confidence artists and literature or other theater studies, has appeared in such outlets as Journal of American Drama and Threatre, Middle West Review, and Howlround, and I have a forthcoming chapter on portrayals of unions in pro wrestling.  My current research project examines the cultural history of ice-skating shows in the United States and Canada in the 20th Century, focusing on how shows like the Ice Follies and Ice Capades intersected with sports and theater, as well as how they promoted and challenged gender norms.

Mobb Deep has returned with Infinite, a powerful posthumous album produced by Havoc and Alchemist and executive produced by Nas alongside Mass Appeal.

We're joined by journalist, author and curator Vikki Tobak. From her time at Payday Records in the early ‘90s to her days as a music journalist with published work in Vibe, ego trip, Paper, Rolling Stone and Mass Appeal, Vikki has been immersed in hip hop culture. That wealth of experience made it possible for her to publish landmark books “Contact High: A Visual History of Hip Hop” and “Ice Cold: A Hip Hop Jewelry History” (not to mention her book with LL Cool J “The Streets Win: 50 Years of Hip Hop Greatness”). Our conversation with Vikki focuses mainly on Contact High and its background but we also touch on some of the other work she has accomplished in her impressive career. Then we discuss her album pick for this episode - an album she reviewed for Vibe when it was released in 1994 - “My Life” by Mary J. Blige.

Stop Treating High Point Like a Buying Trip. Do This Instead… High Point Market isn't just a place to shop for furniture. It's one of the most underused marketing tools you have at your disposal. Many designers make the mistake of approaching it like a giant showroom, simply hunting for products to fill their client projects. However, by doing so, they miss out on significant opportunities to grow their brand, expand their network, and establish themselves as industry experts in a way that truly sets them apart. What if you saw High Point as your personal marketing stage instead? Style Spotters do exactly that, turning tours, vendor visits, and social media coverage into a curated, client-attracting showcase of their aesthetic and expertise. By adopting this approach, you can transform every Market visit into a launchpad for building authority, forging real vendor relationships, and laying the groundwork for licensing deals or brand collaborations that elevate your business to the next level. You'll learn: ✅ How the Style Spotters program positions you as an industry authority (and how to get chosen). ✅ Ways to design tours and content that attract your dream clients, even if they're not at Market. ✅ Strategies for turning vendor relationships into collaborations and licensing deals. ✅ Tips for using social media to amplify your presence and make brands notice you. If you're an interior designer looking to turn High Point from “just another buying trip” into a real growth engine for your business, this is the episode that's going to help you get there.

Guest and HostGuest: Aaron Friedman, Executive Director, Make Music Alliance | On LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/aaron-friedman-7068014/Host: Sean Martin, Co-Founder at ITSPmagazine and Host of Redefining CyberSecurity Podcast & Music Evolves Podcast | Website: https://www.seanmartin.com/Show NotesWhat if June 21st wasn't just another day on the calendar—but the one day a year where the world collectively said: go ahead, make noise?In this episode of Music Evolves, host Sean Martin talks with Aaron Friedman, composer and founder of the Make Music Alliance, about the day that flips the script on who gets to perform. Make Music Day isn't about headliners, stages, or ticket sales. It's about showing up with your sound—whatever that is—and putting it out into the world.What started in 1982 as a spontaneous moment in the streets of France has become a global celebration of music made by everyone. And Aaron's been part of growing that idea across more than 150 U.S. cities—and beyond. There's no audition. No gatekeeping. Whether it's a punk band on a rooftop, a saxophonist on a stoop, or 200 people sight-reading Sousa marches in a park, it's all fair game.What makes this work? A custom-built matchmaking platform connects performers with unexpected venues—think record shops, laundromats, patios, public steps. There's even room for big group experiences like Mass Appeal, where companies donate instruments and anyone can join in. No gear? No problem.Aaron shares why this kind of open access matters, especially now. In a world of algorithm-driven listening and self-curated playlists, real connection—hearing music you didn't expect, played by someone you don't know—hits different. It's discovery in its purest form.Make Music Day isn't just about performance. It's about participation. It's about remembering that music doesn't need permission—it just needs a spark.So mark the date: June 21. Wherever you are, find a way to join in. Visit makemusicday.org to find your city or start your own.Because the world doesn't need more noise.It needs more music. Your music.SponsorsAre you interested in sponsoring this show or placing an ad in the podcast?Sponsorship

In 2024, I birthed two creations: My son, Theo and the feature documentary, THE HONORABLE SHYNE. Back in the late 90s, Shyne was one of the first rappers Diddy signed to Bad Boy Records. After an explosive rise in Hip-hop, a life-altering criminal trial, and years of incarceration, Shyne's journey from rapper, to felon, to politician is one that has defied the odds. This leads me to today's guest, Marcus A. Clarke, the director of THE HONORABLE SHYNE. Marcus is a Brooklyn-born director and producer. He directed Apple's feature-length documentary, The WIZRD, following Atlanta rap superstar Future. Most recently, he directed three episodes of Netflix's reboot of Unsolved Mysteries V1 and three of eight installments in the Netflix Original Hip Hop docu-series Rapture, produced by Mass Appeal. While my human child is currently learning to crawl, my doc child is currently streaming on Hulu. Both were challenging and rewarding in equal measure.  During our conversation, we discuss the trials and tribulations of working on an international documentary, how to pivot when a relevant major controversy drops in the middle of shooting, and I finally get an honest answer about whether or not aliens truly exist. xx Carolina   SUBSCRIBE FOR MORE https://aop.beehiiv.com/   JOIN PATREON patreon.com/angleonproducers   LET'S CONNECT!

Black holes aren’t just the stuff of science fiction; they’re real astronomical objects so dense, so massive, that nothing, not even light, escapes from them. Today, we’re getting lost in the void. Yale Astrophysicist Priya Natarajan joins us for an hour to talk about her research on these extraordinary objects. Last year, she was named one of Time's 100 Most Influential People of 2024 for her research on how black holes form. Later, you don’t have to be a scientist to look up and appreciate the cosmos. We hear from planetariums and astronomical societies in our state that are connecting stargazers and space lovers around Connecticut. GUESTS: Priyamvada Natarajan: theoretical astrophysicist and Professor of Astronomy at Yale University Al Washburn: member at large and former president of the Astronomical Society of New Haven Brian Koehler: Associate Director of the Treworgy Planetarium at the Mystic Seaport Museum Support the show: http://wnpr.org/donateSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

"Popular! You're gonna be popular!" Glinda's iconic song from Wicked is catchy, confident, and completely wrong—at least when it comes to your marketing strategy. Just like that peppy song promises popularity is the answer to everything, we're often told that appealing to everyone is the key to business success. But is that actually true?In this episode, I'm exploring why being specific (and authentic!) beats being popular in business, and how to stop diluting your message trying to please everyone. You'll learn how to identify your unique angle, craft messaging that attracts perfect-fit clients, and build a business that's sustainable without trying to appeal to people who were never even your. buyers in the first place.__________________________________________EPISODE 145.Read the show notes and view the full transcript here: ______________________________________________Here's info on your host, Erin OllilaErin Ollila believes in the power of words and how a message can inform – and even transform – its intended audience.
