This summer we're curating your 456 playlist listening to bring you some of our favourite interviews from MID and No Filter. You might know Poh Ling Yeow as an artist, a chef and a regular fixture on television ever since she was first introduced to Australia on MasterChef. But that’s just the public side of Poh. The version you see is only part of her truth; behind it lies a layered, often painful journey. In this conversation Poh opens up about her years spent in the church before walking away from it, which left her untangling years of belief and identity. She shares the profound grief she has experienced with the loss of her mother, and as well as the heartbreak of two marriage breakdowns and how those moments led to loneliness, questioning and rebuilding. But through it all, she’s discovered something quite extraordinary: an ability to find beauty in the sorrow, light in the mess, and humour in the most unexpected places. This is a conversation about identity, resilience, creativity, and what it means to truly move on and start over. You can watch Poh on this season of MasterChef on Network 10 and you can follow her here: https://www.instagram.com/pohlingyeow/?hl=en Find more MID here.

Send us a textHi everybody and welcome to today's episode of Attendance Bias. I am your host, Brian Weinstein. Before we get started with today's episode, I just want to remind everyone that if you enjoy the podcast, you can show your support by leaving a rating and review of it wherever you get your podcasts. You can also visit www.buymeacoffee.com/attendancebias and donate anything you can to keep the podcast going. Now, onto today's episode:We all remember our first Phish show–all of us, that is, except today's guest, Mike Radicone. Mike's first show was one of the greatest shows ever played by the band, but he literally didn't know what he was getting into. But there's a silver lining to having no memories of your first show: you get to have another first show! As we are getting ready for Phish's return to MSG for the New Year's Run, I felt it would only be appropriate to have Mike here to tell about his second show: December 30, 2010–the night before the night, when Phish summarized the 2010 calendar year in one show. Listening to this show and then talking about it brought back a flood of memories for me, but it was refreshing talking to an enthusiastic guest, more of a casual fan, who spoke as if he were experiencing all of this for the first time.Meanwhile, Mike is also the founder of Datability–a program that helps gather information for special education students–and the host of a new podcast: Mastered with Mike, where he speaks to everyday people who indulge their passions to create and master something they love. I think a lot of Phish fans can relate! But I don't want to get it wrong or step on Mike's shoes. So let's join him to talk about Irish bars, fairy wings, and more, as we discuss December 30, 2010 at Madison Square Garden.Support the show

00:46 Evidence of the earliest fire Baked soil, ancient tools, and materials that could be used to start fires show that Neanderthals were making fire in the UK 400,000 years ago — the earliest evidence of this skill found so far. Ancient humans are known to have used naturally occurring fires, but evidence of deliberate fire-starting has been hard to come by. A new suite of evidence pushes back the date of fire mastery by 350,000 years. The team behind the finding believe it helps create a more nuanced picture of Neanderthals, who perhaps gathered round fires and told stories in ancient Europe.

At a good rehearsal — and, heck, that's just about every rehearsal nowadays — none of us really wants it to end. Oh, sure, we get tired — two hours of hard picking take a toll — but as Gladys Knight used to say, none of us wants to be the first to say goodbye.In fact, as you hear at the conclusion of this week's podcast, which features the final tune of a recent rehearsal, we often even keep extending the ending, jockeying to be the one to play the last note.The moment is always really fun if that last tune of the night is an especially goofy one, and you can't get much goofier than “Yas Yas Duck.”About the SongThis late 1920s hokum song came into The Flood's life more than 40 years ago. In fact, it had its public debut at what turned out to the last of those semiannual music parties that birthed the band, as seen in this excerpt from the “Bowen Bash Legacy Films” series:In those days — the above audio is from September 1981 — chasing down the history of these quirky little tunes was challenging. The World Wide Wide was still more than a decade away, so to suss out songs' back stories, we had to rely on often sketchy liner notes on rare albums and on even rarer books covering esoteric genres.We learned our version of the song from a 1973 Yazoo Records compilation called Tampa Red, Bottleneck Guitar (1928-1937), the same record we studied so we could cop other Tampa tunes like “What's That Taste Last Gravy?” “Black Eyed Blues” and “No Matter How She Done It.”Mastered by Nick Peris, the LP featured liner notes by Seattle bluesman John Miller who gave us no hint of the song's colorful evolution. For years, we just assumed that it was another of Red's collaboration with Georgia Tom Dorsey.Only recently were we able to use web resources to determine that the song traces back to what Wikipedia characterizes as “a ‘whorehouse tune,' a popular St. Louis party song,” first recorded in January 1929 by a great St. Louis piano pounder named James “Stump” Johnson. It would be four months later before Tampa Red and Georgia Tom recorded their version in Chicago.For more about “Yas Yas Duck” (and all its various alternate names), check out our earlier Flood Watch article by clicking here.Latest Floodification of The DuckAs you'll hear on this track, this hokum classic, whether it comes at the beginning of an evening of music or at the end, is always good for a few laughs.As noted above, it was 1981 when The Flood first publicly played the tune. But the song was still very much in Flood Consciousness 20 years later when the band made its first studio album. Click the button below to hear the album track from 2001: This is a public episode.

Tell Us How You Really FeelThe needle drops and the room changes—horns breathe, drums loosen, and a sampler starts talking back. We dive into the living thread between jazz and beat culture, from Congo Square and brass bands to dusty chops, off-grid drums, and the global scenes building tomorrow's standards today. The journey moves through the roots—rebellion, soul, spiritual release—into the eras of big band glory, commercial decline, and the underground that kept the flame alive until hip-hop cracked open the vault and let the swing back out.We explore how producers like DJ Premier, Pete Rock, J Dilla, Madlib, and Nujabes reintroduced jazz aesthetics to a new generation, turning horn riffs, Rhodes chords, and brushed cymbals into modern language. Along the way, we spotlight the cities and crews shaping the current wave: London's Yussef Dayes, Kamaal Williams, and Shabaka Hutchings; LA's Kamasi Washington and Terrace Martin; global innovators from Italy, Austria, Japan, and beyond. Labels and collectives like Jazz Is Dead bridge elders and explorers, proving the tradition evolves best when it's shared.Between records, we trade stories and facts that link technique to technology—Miles facing the band for deeper communication, Coltrane's relentless practice, Raymond Scott's early electronic machines, and how big band sessions birthed mic placement and room capture approaches that shaped modern studios and DAWs. Herbie Hancock reminds us that jazz is conversation: musicians, audience, and energy in constant exchange. Beat culture carries that forward—looping, bending, and improvising with machines as instruments. Ride with us, discover new artists and essential beat tapes, and feel the continuity: jazz never died; it reincarnated in the pads.If you felt the groove, subscribe, rate, and share with a friend.

You rarely meet someone who has built and sold five companies. Sachin Aggarwal is now building his sixth, Stackgen. The depth of lessons from someone who has been through that journey five times and still chooses to build again is simply unmatched. Even after five successful exits, he still builds like a first-time founder. He studies every new domain from scratch, speaks to 60 or 70 people before committing to an idea, and surrounds himself with people who are smarter than him. What stood out most is his mindset. That is what truly sets him apart. We have always been told that time is money, but he believes timing is money. Founders should time everything, including their exits because the best startups are always bought, not sold. From building his first company during the Asian Financial Crisis in Indonesia, to creating a healthcare startup that grew with Obamacare, to pioneering cloud security before it became mainstream, Sachin has mastered the art of timing. 0:00 – Trailer0:46 – From KPMG to becoming an entrepreneur2:05 – Why the best startups are bought, not sold4:30 – Does luck play a role in repeated success?5:24 – Why is timing money?6:46 – Exit at $8M ARR in just 18 months8:10 – The first exit that gave financial freedom10:14 – 26-year-old who bought an Indonesian Co.12:42 – What drives repeat founders?13:53 – Co's are either Born secure or they're not19:40 – Founders must master timing21:24 – How tech-savvy should a tech founder really be?22:35 – The right way to time your exits27:07 – How to observe new markets to build?28:30 – The process behind starting a company29:32 – How to find the right co-founders?31:53 – What really builds trust?33:05 – What founders learn building across industries35:25 – How Stackgen's founders met43:36 – Industries with the best Timing today44:41 – Where should young founders build?48:06 – Winning InMobi as a customer51:11 – What AI agents are doing at Stackgen55:14 – How Stackgen could be a billion-dollar opportunity?=-------------India's talent has built the world's tech—now it's time to lead it.This mission goes beyond startups.

“Be a homie & let us know what you think”A beat can cross oceans faster than any plane ticket—this showcase proves it. We're celebrating Filipino producers from Manila to Sacramento with a curated trip through sample alchemy, razor-sharp cuts, and pulse-raising drum and bass. The goal is simple: connect you with artists worth following and give you a map to explore their catalogs, crews, and scenes.We open with a Filipino alchemist from Florida named Soy or Soyisreal then we feature a track with atmosphere and intent—Free The Robots sets a cinematic frame before HeruHeruHeru reminds us not to overthink a great loop. Elijah B raises the stakes with head-twisting arrangements, then Roboplex teams with Hendrik to merge live visuals culture with studio craft. KiNG HYSTERiA, Imaginary Other, Chewy, and IF1 light up the cipher, while D-Styles demonstrates why scratching remains composition, percussion, and storytelling all at once. The energy pivots into TKDPLL's drum and bass, a lane resonating deeply across Filipino circles, and lands on LUSTBASS and Filipino 1990 where feel meets message.From there, Six The NorthStar tightens the groove, Skeematic explores meditative texture, and 4B5ynth out of Marikina turns off-kilter rhythm into a hypnotic flip. Higher Ground's The PHARM brings collective firepower, Dpsht and Tenkousei.'s cool the room with downtempo warmth, and Skeptics and Ize pull dancers to the front with summer color and clever edits. We close with Loopin_iii's high-velocity DnB, then shout Wave Groove and tease that this is only part one of the all-Filipino spotlight.If something moves you, follow the links, grab a tee, buy a coffee, or send us a text directly from the description—we read every messag Support the showEdited, Mixed and Mastered by GldnmndPodcast Website Link: The Rec Show PodcastSubscribe to Our YouTube Channel: Press Here

In this solo episode, I'm diving into how to actually set yourself up for a successful fat loss phase. So many women jump into a cut without realizing the key things they need to have in place first and it ends up making the process harder than it needs to be. I'm breaking down the most common mistakes I see (and ones I've made myself), plus what to focus on before you start dieting so you can lose weight with ease, maintain your results, and feel your best throughout the process.Whether you're prepping for a competition or simply want to feel more confident in your body, this episode will give you the tools to go into your next cut with clarity and confidence.—Connect with me:Instagram: @NicoleFerrierFitnessYouTube: Nicole Ferrier FitnessTikTok: @NicoleFerrierFitnessWebsite: www.nicoleferrierfitness.comApply for Coaching:If you're ready for 1:1 guidance to reach your goals, apply for coaching at www.nicoleferrierfitness.com/coaching

A podcast to answer all your questions about productivity, time management, self-development, and goal planning. My name is Carl Pullein, and I am your host of this show.  I've been coaching people one-on-one for seven years, and in that time, I picked up some ideas that, when adopted by clients, almost always guarantee they will transform their time management and productivity.  None of these ideas is revolutionary, which isn't surprising since people have long struggled with time management and productivity issues.  Our attitude to time and the expectations of others has changed, but the amount of time we have hasn't.  Technology, rather than helping us to do more in less time, has elevated the amount we are expected to do.  Fifty years ago, we might have received thirty letters; today, technology has elevated the number of digital letters and messages we receive into the hundreds. And while we may be quicker at responding, we're not realistically able to respond to hundreds of emails and messages each day and still produce work.  (Even though I know a number of you are trying) It goes back to what I wrote and spoke about two or three years ago, fashions may change, but the principles don't.  AI and ChatGPT are all the rage today. If you've gone down that rabbit hole, you will have been blown away by what it can do. It's incredible.  Yet what is it doing? It is making some parts of our work faster. Yet, most people still don't have enough time to do all their work. What's happening?  Well, telling everyone that you can now produce a sales review presentation in less than twenty minutes with the help of ChatGPT means you are now expected to create more presentations.  That sales review presentation may have taken you two days before, but now, if you can do it in twenty minutes, boom! Your boss can give you more work to do!  So what are the traits, best practices and ideas that do work that the people who have seen a massive increase in their time management and productivity follow?  Well, that's the subject of this week's question. And that means it's time for me to hand you over to the Mystery Podcast Voice for this week's question. This week's question comes from Lauren. Lauren asks, “Hi Carl, I know you have been coaching people for a long time, and I am curious to know what the most productive people you meet do that is different from those less successful at it.”  Hi Lauren, thank you for your question.  As I eluded to, the most productive people I've coached follow principles, not fashions, and are ruthless with their time allocation.  Those principles are to collect everything, process what you gathered, eliminate unnecessary things, and allocate time for doing what's left.  But it goes a little deeper than that.  First, you need to know what is important to you. That relates to your Areas of Focus. Those are the eight areas of life we all share but will define and prioritise differently.  Things like, your family and relationships, career, finances, health and fitness and self-development.  Knowing what these mean to you and what priority they are in your life goes a long way to helping you to build productive days.  Almost every client of mine that has significantly improved their time management have gone through the Areas of Focus exercise and defined each one.  The second part to this is to be clear about what your core work is. This is the work you are employed to do.  What I found interesting is that my YouTube Short video with the fewest views is the one asking the question: What are you employed to do?”  That doesn't surprise me. Going through and defining your Areas of Focus and core work is not sexy. Quick fixes, new tools and apps are the sexy things, yet none of those will ever help you regain control of your time.  Sure, they are fun, exciting and interesting to explore. But they are distractions that will never help you be better at managing your time.  (I learned that one the hard way. I used to waste so much time each week playing with new apps, programmes and tools)  Speaking of tools, I have noticed that the most productive people use simple tools. Often it's Microsoft ToDo or Apple's Reminders. Quite a few use Todoist, but I suspect that's because I have done nearly four hundred videos on Todoist and many of my clients found me through YouTube.  People who struggle the most are using project management tools like ClickUp or Monday.com. Those types of tools require far too much maintenance to keep them up-to-date and that takes time away from you doing the work you are organising.  It's as the old saying goes, you're trying to crack a nut by using a sledge hammer.  But, the stand out change that people make that has the biggest impact on their time management and overall productivity is they get ruthless with their time allocation.  And I mean ruthless.  For example, one long term client, now a senior executive in his company, will not allow any meetings on a Monday morning or a Friday afternoon. Those times are blocked on his calendar.  He uses that time for doing his most important work for that week.  Three hours Monday morning and three hours Friday afternoon. That's six hours he knows will not be interrupted and so he can confidently allocate work to those times. I remember when we first started. He was all over the place. He had meetings lined up Monday through Friday and couldn't even find a hour to quietly get on with his work.  His default answer to any request was “yes” and it was destroying him.  Now, not only does he have greater respect for his own time, his colleagues also do. Nobody even bothers to ask for a meeting on a Monday morning or Friday afternoon because they know he will say no.  The key here is to get control of your calendar. (Another principle). If you're not in control there, it doesn't matter what you do elsewhere because you've lost control in the one area that determines what you do and when.  Everyone will be different here.  I have one client who's a surgeon and a professor. She has to divide her time between the operating room and the classroom.  Her surgery hours are fixed. So, she knows she will be in the operating room on a Tuesday and Thursday. Her teaching hours vary according to each semester, but once the academic year begins, her lecture times are fixed.  These times are locked into her calendar. But she goes further. She knows that she will have to meet with patients and students. So, Wednesdays are dedicated for patients. She will visit the patients she will be operating on the next day and deal with any out-patient clinics on a Wednesday.  So three days a week are dedicated to her role as a surgeon.  She will do her academic work on Mondays and Fridays. Most of her lectures are in the mornings, and she will stay in her office in the afternoons so she's available for students if they need her.  What she has done is to become ruthless with how she allocates her time each week. Her calendar is sacred territory.  She does open Saturday mornings during exam times so students can access her if needed, and she can do any outstanding admin work in between.  What got her back in control was taking back control of her calendar and saying “no” to requests that did not fit in with her priorities.  And this is where it's hard for most people. Getting control of their calendar. The easy part is organising and reorganising your task manager. Really all you are doing there is moving things around.  When it comes to getting control of your calendar you have to interact with other people and that means in some instances you will need to say No.  And there human nature will challenge us. We're wired to “please people”. So saying “no, I cannot meet with you” is tough. It's easier to find an excuse why you are different to everyone else.  Yet, you don't have to say no. You can use services such as Calendly, that lets you pick times you will be available for meetings and all you need do is share your unique link with people requesting a meeting with you. They can then choose a time that works for them without all the hassle of trying to find a time.  Technology has conditioned us to become comfortable with automated systems. There's little to no pushback these days. In fact I'd go as far as to say that people much prefer to choose their appointment time from an online booking service.  Another long-time client of mine is a financial advisor. He adopted Calendly for his clients to use to book a call with him.  He was expecting a lot of pushback from his clients. Instead he got a lot of compliments. They loved it. They could book a time to talk with him from the comfort of their own sofa late at night without having to call or message him during “office hours”. Now, whenever he gets a message or email requesting a meeting, he sends them the link to his booking service.  This means he's in complete control of his time. He can open or close meeting time slots during his weekly planning sessions, and he knows when he will be meeting clients so he can be better prepared for the meeting.  And speaking of weekly planning. This is possibly the number one idea that brings the most significant improvement.  Consistently planning the week is really a no-brainer no matter what role you have in your professional and personal life.  The senior executive, surgeon and financial advisor I previously mentioned wouldn't dream of beginning a week without a plan. It's how they can manage conferences, holidays and other extraordinary weeks.  Without a plan for the week, it's like setting out on a journey without knowing where you are going. You'll get somewhere but highly likely it'll be a place you do not want to be.  The weekly plan is about deciding what is important to you that week. What projects need attention, where your meetings are, and what you want to accomplish.  For instance, many of my clients will decide when they will exercise at a weekly level. They'll decide how many times they want to go to the gym or out for a run and set that as an objective. This gives them the flexibility they need to ensure they are getting the right things done whilst taking care of the personal maintenance we all need of the right amount of sleep, exercise and eating the right food types.  The final piece is the daily planning. This is where you decide at a task level what needs to be done.  Because the world we live in today is fast moving, there will likely be things on your weekly plan that need to change. It's the daily planning where you can make those adjustments.  For example, if the senior executive came into work one day and walked into a crisis such as what recently happened to Jaguar Land Rover with the cyber attack, his whole week would need to change. It's at a daily level that those changes can be taken care of.  Meetings can be cancelled, auto reply can be set up on email services to explain why they cannot respond to emails and messages, etc.  That might be extreme, but it clearly can happen and things will need to change.  So there you go, Lauren. The people who get it, who are living productive and well managed lives follow a few simple principles.  They follow the COD methodology—collect stuff, organise and process that stuff, eliminating the unimportant and then ensure they get on with the work.  They ruthlessly protect their time on their calendars and never delegate management of their calendar to anyone else.  They plan the week and day to ensure they are working on the right things at the right time and are clear about what is important to them.  I hope that has helped and thank you for your question. It just remains for me to wish you all a very very productive week.

When I discovered that Weird Al was actually on the bill at the most eclectic festival lineup I'd ever seen ("I can see Agnostic Front and Weird Al on the same day?!?" was my initial response) I had to drop "Start a Pac-Man-related cult" from my bucket list to make room for "participate in a Weird Al pit."* This has been one of many situational exceptions I've had to make to my well-documented "Too Old For The Pit" rule. I made perhaps too many exceptions during the weekend of Riot Fest, as my ribs remain bruised (presumably from Sunday's Screeching Weasel prancings,) but I appear to have survived. Highlights that I was unable to fit into the song: 1. A dude dressed as a banana in said pit 2. A dude dressed as Jesus in said pit (I told him "Hey! I read your book!") 3. Moshing to "Ricky." Seriously. "Ricky." 4. Watching Steve Jay and Jim West occasionally take photos of said pit 5. Watching a dude on the edge of said pit explain to his teenaged daughter the cardinal rule of "someone goes down, you help them up." Felt that in my soul. Special thanks to Al, whose birthday is next week. And also to my wife, for encouraging me to go to this thing. And to MC Lars for absolving me of the inadvertent theft of his "damn, son" bit. And to Dr. Demento for the years upon years of support...it just hit me that this is the first song I've ever released that has NO chance whatsoever of being played on the Dr. Demento show. But damned if he didn't end the show strong as hell, and on his own terms. (Barry, if you're reading this, all the best in your retirement.) * Apologies to anyone who has already converted their worldly posessions to tokens in anticipation of said cult. No refunds.

“Be a homie & let us know what you think”Welcome to Episode #133 where we take a trip into my expanding Bandcamp Music Feed which features music from the artists I follow. We open with a clear intention from Dammbutta's ‘This Kind of Life': music can fortify the mind, soothe the body, and steady the soul. From there, the curation pulls you through a living gallery of sound: the battle-tested resolve of Apollo Brown and Ty Farris's ‘Run Towards The Monster', the tender tension of Sadiva's introspection from ‘As Prescribed' and a kinetic rinse of drum and bass that clears the static and resets your pulse by Dewpoints's Dreambound.Next we take a trip to the Netherlands by Tesk ‘'The Sauce'. Then we ‘Check In' with MRK SX's All Is Well. We tap in with CRISTENISREAL with his ‘Refresher' album. We head to Los Angeles with DOM CRUZ & k. Jvnglx from ‘Divine Intervention'. We listen to L. Dre to listen to Beatober wips continuing the thrill of unearthing gems in the Bandcamp wilds. We stretch into experimental and ambient spaces with Jesse Rack$on ‘v-a-r-i-a-t-i-o-n-s beattape and Kare.pkg's ‘A Whole Lotta Nothin' letting texture speak and silence shape the groove. A heartfelt moment honors D'Angelo's influence with a thoughtful remix by Nothing_Neue from ‘The Vault (Bootleg Pack)' before we pivot to flips and instrumentals that celebrate craft: Smewhere's ‘Time Come' salute to Brownsville's Ka, The Other Guys' ‘No Validation (Instrumentals) and DFNS's ‘404 Day Pack'.The set keeps widening. A playful Libra-themed interlude by SKYSCRAPER titled ‘the LIBRANS' slips into Vicky Cassis's sharp ‘DNA flip' from Casis Flips, proof that imagination cuts through any noise. Sunkr's Let Me Live centers agency and ease, and the International Artist Project ties it all together with global voices building love and legacy across borders with Awzy E's ‘Other Half'. Gold Haze stops by with ‘Purpose Over Pain' from When I Had Nothing, I Had Everything. Throughout, I return to a simple mantra: purpose over perfection.

We all meet all kinds of attitudes within and outside our family members. It would be great to know the best ways to effectively meet each type of person by knowing three basic attitudes to look for. Anyone seeking to share any form of “good news” (parents, pastors, teachers, salesmen, politicians, evangelists, and innovators) will want to discern the heart attitude of the one they are speaking to and adjust their speech accordingly.

No guest, no fluff—just Bun B, Tom Frank, and Jeffrey Sledge turning up the signal and turning down the noise. We kick off with what's cooking at Merrick Studios (Unglossy, Mixed & Mastered, Our Love/Hate Relationship with Comic Culture, Pitch Lab) and why podcasts are becoming the new cable. Then it's Cardi B at Trill Burgers and the rise of celebrity cosigns as cultural currency. We get into comedy vs. consequence (Jimmy Kimmel's suspension and the line between accountability and censorship), why Fashion Week's real runway is now the sidewalk, and football's full takeover of pop culture—from NIL swagger to breakfast kickoffs abroad. Plus: Jeffrey's bionic-eye comeback, a pro-wrestling guest tease, and enough food talk to make you order something you'll love and regret."Unglossy with Bun B" is produced and distributed by Merrick Studio and hosted by Bun B, Tom Frank and Jeffrey Sledge.

We’ve hit the big 1-0, baby! And we’ve gone full circle (and slightly off the rails). Over the past few weeks, we’ve been rewinding through the years, bringing you our Best Of specials circa 2015. And now, we’ve gone COMPLETE inception with a ‘Best of Best Of’ special. Yep, you heard that right. Ten years, 300+ episodes, and countless bad jokes, Mae’s back behind the mic, joined by Shaun, her partner, our COO, and head of all things punny. Together, they take turns picking their favourite tracks from across Maed in India history - breaking a few rules, trying (and failing) to be funny, and getting very sentimental along the way. Also known in-house as BOBO (because it’s adorbs). It’s big. It’s loud. It’s emotional. It's our own block party down the road. 10 years on and still going strong. WARNING: Please know the songs picked were very arbitrary and very dependent on our mood, work load, life drama, and bodily functions that day. Any other day and we might have picked a completely different bunch. OKChaloBye. Song List: The Koniac Net - Crawling (04:55 - 08:07) Jose Neil Gomes - Tree Outside (09:08 - 14:33) Vernon Noronha - Come Back Jack (15:43 - 21:09) Uday Benegal - Looking for the Mahatma (22:42 - 27:28) Chabuk - Pyaar (28:07 - 31:47) Ladies Compartment - Mountain Song (34:45 - 37:40) Shan Vincent De Paul - Die Iconic (40:22 - 42:10) JBABE - Punch Me in My Third Eye (44:49 - 46:27) Sampriti - Xathor (49:36 - 55:31) Blackstratblues - Random Improv At Sunset (57:59 - 01:01:10) Come be our friend: Instagram @maedinindia Twitter @maedinindia CREDITS: Host: Mae & Shaun Instagram: @maemariyam Twitter: @maebemaebe Producer: Shaun Fanthome and Meghna Gulati Sound Edited & Mastered by: Kartik Kulkarni Artwork: Alika Gupta

Lionel Richie has been making music for fifty years. He has sold more than a hundred million albums, his hits too numerous to list, and he has endeared himself to younger generations as a judge on “American Idol.” He's now the author of a memoir, “Truly.” Although the book has a lot of triumphs to cover, Richie doesn't shy away from his failed marriages and the mistakes that led to the breakup of the Commodores, the band that launched him to stardom. “When I started out this book, I had some great stories I was gonna tell, keep it real surfacy—you know, no big deal,” Richie tells Hanif Abdurraqib. “I didn't realize that it was going to take me on a journey of, It's not this mountaintop and this mountaintop and this mountaintop. It was this mountaintop and then the valley. The book is about the valley. And . . . each time I went down in the valley it was painful because there were things in this book that I wanted to forget in life but what created the real substance of me was I had to face my insecurities.”
