To honor the death of Gilbert Gottfried, we discuss jokes like the 9-11 one he was pilloried for. Can comedy really be "too soon" in relation to its tragic subject matter? Is comedy really tragedy plus time, or are jokes in fact most needed immediately when pain and discomfort are most acute? Mark is joined by three comedians: Adam Sank (of the LGBTQ-themed Adam Sank Show), Twitch-streaming songster Meri Amber, and returning guest Daniel Lobell (graphic novelist and podcaster). We get into tailoring jokes for an audience, coping with grief, triggering, and more. For more, visit prettymuchpop.com.

In the second and third segment, Ryan talks with one of his favorite guests, Australia-based geek-pop artist Meri Amber. Meri talks about her new album, "Origin Story" coming out July 19th, and gives great advice on effective music launches and being your most creative self.

Meri Amber is a singer of crazy songs. The geek pop singer-songwriter graduated from the University of Sydney with a degree in commerce (accounting) but has gone on to a popular music career performing her original songs all over Australia and New Zealand. She's even written an entire album of accounting songs. The corresponding music videos got her a lot of attention, so I was excited she could take time to talk with me. In this episode, Meri and I talk about how important being creative is in the world of business. Not breaking the law creative but the kind of next level thinking based on the data given. Clients aren't paying so much for the work but more how are we going to use this information? And we talk about being worried to share your passions with coworkers or clients because you think they won't relate. She says, "You need to show it if you want other people to acknowledge it!" It's even better if you can correlate it to a benefit for the firm, which isn't as difficult as a lot of people think.

For Meri Amber, finding a music niche was natural. Growing up wanting to be in the girl band, Bewitched, she drew inspiration from the American Comic Con scene. Her music is a mix between bright pop with 90s punk rock and is inspired by Comic Con, Dr. Who, Lego and more. She writes, records, self publishes, and performs everything on her own and has even made music for video games.

Hi listeners! This week, we are joined by one of our favorite guests, Meri Amber. She is a terrific "geek pop" singer songwriter and we have a blast every time we have her on. This week, she joins us to discuss her latest album, the 90s-inspired "Retro Sherbet." She also gives us some great tips during the interview on how to blog effectively as an indie artist and offers us a window into her recording process. And in a Break the Business Podcast first, we have our guest stay on for an additional segment to talk about 90s pop culture with us. Since Meri is a 90s expert (as demonstrated by her tremendous album), we have her declare what is the "Ultimate 90s Thing" by choosing from sixteen different options in a single elimination tournament.

In the first installment of the Break the Business Podcast, Ryan and his Co-host Dave talk about how the show will be a weekly discussion of entertainment law, indie music, and popular culture. The legal concepts discussed on the program will be geared toward non-lawyers and the podcast as a whole is designed to help independent artists build their careers while maintaining full control over their creative product. Ryan and Dave also talk about Bon Jovi's recent split from Mercury Records and the implications it has for indie artists everywhere. They also talk about Dave's conundrum involving a pack of sugar-free Jell-O and the hot South Florida sun. This week's guest is Meri Amber, a "geek-pop" singer/songwriter/comic book artist from Australia. Ryan and Dave talk to Meri about designing a great indie artist website, making interesting music videos, and her latest album of Doctor Who tribute songs entitled "Pop Goes the Tardis." Meri's interview led to a broader discussion about several principles that indie artists should follow to advance their careers, including maximizing your content releases to keep your supporters interested, and building a strong team within your network of friends, family, and fans.
