Podcast appearances and mentions of Michael Knox

Twenty years ago, a small-town Georgia man with a dream released "Hicktown" and changed country music forever. Now, Jason Aldean sits down with us to unpack the remarkable journey from those uncertain early days to stadium-headlining superstardom.In this revealing conversation, Aldean takes us behind the velvet rope of the music industry, sharing how he nearly passed on songs that became career-defining hits and watched others he declined become massive successes for fellow artists. "I think songs land where they're supposed to," he reflects, detailing his instinctive approach to selecting material that genuinely resonates with him rather than chasing trends or concepts.The camaraderie between Aldean and the podcast hosts creates an intimate atmosphere as they reminisce about the lean years—playing to near-empty rooms, surviving on gas station food, and the faithful few who saw something special before the rest of the world caught on. Particularly moving is Aldean's tribute to producer Michael Knox, the one person who never abandoned ship when record deals fell apart: "I owe that guy everything."Exclusive reveals about his upcoming album (including multiple high-profile duets) will excite longtime fans, while his candid takes on everything from NFL draft picks to reality TV offers provide a glimpse at the man behind the music. Aldean's perspective on artistic integrity resonates throughout, especially when discussing how streaming has changed listeners' relationship with music: "I think a little bit of that's lost now."Whether you've followed Aldean since "Hicktown" or discovered him through "Try That in a Small Town," this conversation offers both nostalgia and fresh insights from an artist who's remained true to himself through two decades of country music evolution.

Michael Knox, the visionary producer behind Jason Aldean's groundbreaking sound, pulls back the curtain on one of country music's most remarkable success stories. Knox's candid revelations about their journey expose the harsh realities of Nashville's music business—an incredible 40 showcase rejections, multiple lost record deals, and years of struggle before breakthrough success.What makes this conversation extraordinary is hearing how Knox deliberately architected Aldean's revolutionary sound when mainstream Nashville wasn't ready for it. "The whole plan with Jason was to be Tim McGraw's nightmare, to be the replacement of that generation," Knox explains. "You can't do that if you don't cover all the bases—I can tear your head off, steal your girl, make you cry."Knox shares fascinating production stories, including how executives at Broken Bow Records first heard "Hicktown" with a broken speaker that eliminated the electric guitar parts—yet still loved it. He reveals the battles fought for now-iconic songs like "She's Country," "Big Green Tractor," and "Dirt Road Anthem"—all initially dismissed as career-ending risks by industry gatekeepers.The conversation takes a personal turn when Knox discusses his father, Buddy Knox, who had the first self-written #1 hit in rock and roll history ("Party Doll") yet remains excluded from the Rock Hall of Fame. This family connection illuminates Knox's deep understanding of the music business's often unfair nature and his determination to help Aldean succeed against overwhelming odds.What emerges is a masterclass in artistic vision and perseverance. In today's era of overnight TikTok sensations, Knox questions whether artists who haven't weathered rejection and struggle can develop the character needed for lasting careers. "These people today don't suffer like that," he reflects, celebrating the hard-earned journey that shaped Aldean's authentic connection with fans.The Try That in a Small Town Podcast is powered by e|spaces!

System seeks to help prevent violence The report came at 10 p.m., an hour when many teenagers are scrolling through social media posts, texting or calling friends and playing video games. But for one Putnam County student on Sept. 6, the late-night activity consisted of emailing threats to Green Chimneys, the Brewster school for special-needs children where the 13-year-old was enrolled. Five days later, after interviewing the teen and the parents and searching a computer, Putnam deputies arrested and charged the minor with one count of making a terroristic threat, a felony, and referred the student to the probation department. Police learned of the emails through Putnam County's year-old Threat Assessment Management system (TAM), an online portal that schools, residents and businesses can use to report threats made against them or someone else, along with concerns about people harming themselves. TAM was adopted in response to the racially motivated shooting deaths, in May 2022, of 10 Black people at a supermarket in Buffalo. The system, online at pctam.net, has two goals: to prevent troubled people from committing similar crimes and to connect them with counseling, drug treatment and other services. Nearly all the 40 or so reports received over the last year have come from schools and ranged from students indirectly threatening each other on the school bus to far more significant threats, said Sara Servadio, the county's mental health and social services commissioner. Acting on those reports is a multi-agency team that, in addition to Servadio's department and the Sheriff's Office, includes the Bureau of Emergency Services, district attorney's office, probation department and Putnam-Northern Westchester Boards of Cooperative Educational Services (BOCES). Servadio said she is not surprised by the number of reports. New York schools outside of New York City reported 95 bomb threats and 1,395 other types of threats during the 2022-23 school year, as well as 1,088 incidents of weapons possession, according to the most recent state data. Haldane reported three weapons possession incidents and one threat in 2022-23 and Beacon had two weapons incidents and three threats in 2021-22, the most recent figures available. "I'm confident that we have prevented something from happening, whether it was someone toward themselves or others," said Servadio. Reporting a Threat Putnam County's Threat Assessment Management system at pctam.net requires that anyone reporting a concern give the name, address and other information about the person making the threat and describe the nature of the threat. They will also be asked to answer six questions that have been identified by the FBI as indicators of violence, said Capt. Michael Knox of the Putnam County Sheriff's Office. It's a similar experience to calling 911, he said. The questions include: Has the person "directly threatened others or stated their intention of conducting an act of violence against others?" Have they "demonstrated behaviors, including direct or indirect threats, or movement from thought to action, indicating violence is necessary and justified to resolve personal grievances and/or to affect social or political change?" Has the person "exhibited changes to their normal life, such as stopping medications and/or substance use, withdrawal from life pattern, including social media, and/or increase in activity?" Residents can also upload images, such as ones showing threatening social media posts. The system asks for the name and contact information of the person reporting a threat but gives them the option to decline being contacted. Putnam County had been working with schools on identifying and reporting threats when Gov. Kathy Hochul in May 2022 issued an executive order requiring counties to develop plans to prevent domestic terrorism, said Putnam County Sheriff Kevin McConville. In August 2022, Hochul authorized $10 million to help counties create threat-management teams, wit...

Coming out of the fog, he thinks is a real thing. Nobody can really define it, but there are things that he discovered that might help explain it for some people. The fact that after 25 years of sobriety, his way of handling it was going back to drinking was the wrong way to deal with it. Michael was adopted in 1961 in Illinois. He grew up with two younger sisters; 1 adopted 1 bio. His family moved to Southern California when he was five. He has been married for 38 years and has three wonderful children and two granddaughters. He worked in the television industry for many years and moved his family to Atlanta work on Olympics and never left Atlanta.Around 2002, Michael started running, biking and swimming one thing led to another and he started doing Iron Man triathlons. If you asked him to describe himself in 2019 he would say “A husband, father, grandfather & athlete”. He did both Ancestry and 23andMe out of curiosity and was never searching for family. there was a match on 23andMe and life changed forever! Now, he describes himself as ADOPTED, husband, father, grandfather & athlete.At years 58 years old on July 3 2019, Michael found his birth mom and maternal half brother and sister.

The Huron Carol may not be especially well-known by Americans, but in Canada, this song is a national treasure! It has been performed by some of Canada's biggest recording artists, from Sarah McLachlan to Toronto Children's Chorus. For decades now, Indigenous actor and singer, Tom Jackson, has performed a Christmas benefit concert in the carol's name.   But, beloved as this carol may be, it also comes with painful historical baggage. It was written by St. Jean de Brebeuf, a Jesuit missionary and martyr who lived with the Wendat people and immersed himself in their language, culture and spirituality. It is out of this experience that Canada's Christmas carol was born. Since the mid 17th century, when Brebeuf first penned the song in Wendat, the Huron Carol has been translated and reinterpreted several times over. “Twas in the Moon of Wintertime,” is the most popular version of the carol today, but its English lyrics bears little resemblance to the original and distorts Wendat culture. To help us unpack this Christmas carol, with a history complicated by centuries of colonialism, we speak with three Canadians: Geneviève Salamone, an Indigenous violinist and activist; John Steckley, one of the foremost scholars of the Wendat language; and the Rev. Michael Knox, S.J., the director of Martyr's Shrine in Midland, Ontario. Special thanks to Geneviève Salamone for recording The Huron Carol especially for this show, and to Aidan Baker and Broken Spine Productions, Cynthia Boener, Lief Sjostrom, Don Ross, Debra Buesking, Keith Michael Roman, Brian Thiessen and Dana Lynn Seaborn, and Heather Dale for providing much of the music on this episode.

US Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen claims the US economy is not in a recession,  despite two consecutive quarters of declining GDP. Economics Explored EP151 guest Darren Brady Nelson disagrees with the Treasury Secretary and argues she is taking a political position. Whether she's being political or not, Janet Yellen has certainly taken a big risk, as Darren and Gene discuss. Darren and Gene also talk about the review of the Aussie central bank, the Reserve Bank of Australia, particularly how climate change could figure in that review. Darren argues the review team should have a broader range of views represented, including Monetarist and Austrian perspectives. Darren is Chief Economist of the Australian think tank Liberty Works and he's also an Economics Associate at the CO2 Coalition in Washington, DC.

Yesterday was the eighth day of testimony in the murder trial of Curtis Reeves, the retired Tampa SWAT Captain who shot and killed Chad Oulson in a local movie theater in January 2014 after the two men had a verbal altercation that became physical.The defense presented only three additional witnesses yesterday, all expert witnesses—Dr. Michael Foley, a forensic radiologist whose testimony was delivered in the form of a previously recorded video, Dr. Michael Knox, a crime scene investigation expert, and finally Dr. Roy Bedard, a use-of-force expert.The reason there were only three was largely because of the extensive arguments made outside the hearing of the jury prior to the testimony of the latter two experts.  Unfortunately, much of the argument preceding Dr. Bedard's testimony revealed a substantive ignorance of fundamental aspects of self-defense law on the part of the court, the same type of ignorance we've seen lead to injustice in verdicts in other recent high-profile cases. We'll focus our commentary and analysis here on that apparent ignorance.The video testimony of all seven of these witnesses is also embedded below, although our commentary here will be focused on the testimony of Dr. Adams.Popcorn Shooter Trial Day 8:  Another Court Ignorant of Self-Defense Law Sets Table for Another Injusticehttps://lawofselfdefense.com/popcorn-shooter-trial-day-8-another-court-ignorant-of-self-defense-law-sets-table-for-another-injustice/POPCORN BUNDLE!

WASPs – White Anglo-Saxon Protestants – such as Henry Adams, Franklin and Eleanor Roosevelt, Dean Acheson, and Joe Alsop, held an outsized influence on American culture and history for much of the country's history, waning only after the mid-twentieth century. Author Michael Knox Beran ("BARE"-in) joins us to talk about the power, privilege, and contributions of WASPs in the United States and the eventual backlash against them, their ideas, and their way of life.   Learn more about your ad choices.

Today on the show, we have Michael Knox. Through his own journey of mental health struggles, we see the strength that can come from being vulnerable and the power that vulnerability can bring for others. As someone who's actively normalizing conversations around these topics, Michael is hoping to change how we address mental health from just brushing it under the rug to fostering the transparency and vulnerability that allows for true healing on a physical, mental, and spiritual level.

In this episode of United We Move, Jonathan is speaking with long-distance Move athlete, Michael Knox. Michael joined as an onsite member in the Fall of 2017 after already committing himself to overcoming addiction to Alcohol and Cigarettes and reversing years of health issues through the ketogenic diet, he set his sites on exercise. All in all, Michael has lost around 100lbs and continues to see steady physiological improvements. We discuss his mindset going through this process and leading up to becoming a member of our gym. We also discuss the importance of coaching, community, and facing challenges to your routine during COVID. #crossfit #gym #podcast #fitnesscoach #decaturga #keto #diet
