Back today are the boys of Lonely Parrots, Michael Martinez and Max Embers, an emerging folk pop duo from the San Francisco Bay Area. Their music blends catchy tunes with poignant themes of love, loss, growth, and self-discovery. The duo's harmonious collaborations promise to leave an indelible mark on the music scene. Their journey began when Max saw a flock of wild parrots, which inspired them to write a joke song. This led to the creation of their first song, 'Coldplay,' and the formation of Lonely Parrots. Their songwriting styles blend seamlessly, with influences from R&B and musical theater. And the questions are ready to go……….

Casual word games is a tough, tough category to compete in on mobile. Not only is it a very crowded red ocean, but casual games are notoriously hard to monetize effectively through IAPs, making user acquisition even more difficult than it already is in the post-IDFA world.

With a small team of experienced industry veterans, investments in systems, processes, and analytics, as well as a second-to-none ad mediation stack, Funcraft is a great case study in how it is still possible to compete with the big guys — and win. To learn more about how Funcraft is making it work, your host Niko Vuori talks with Michael Martinez, Founder & CEO of Funcraft. Funcraft: https://www.funcraft.com/.

Flavor Profile: Rize Up Gives Visibility to Black Bakers Like many others, Azikiwee Anderson took up making sourdough during the pandemic. Once he mastered the basics, he started experimenting with ingredients no one had ever put into sourdough: gojuchang, paella and ube. Those flavors transformed his hobby into a successful business that wholesales to bakeries and restaurants across the Bay Area. All this success has made Azikiwee rethink how the food industry brings equity into the workplace, and how to elevate cultural appreciation, not appropriation, through ingredients. He wants to give a chance to more Black and Brown bakers, because of his own experience feeling like an outsider as a Black man interested in commercial baking. Adhiti Bandlamudi brings us this story as part of our ongoing series Flavor Profile, which features folks who started successful food businesses during the pandemic. 'We Belong Together': How Ritchie Valens' Music Inspired a New Book of Poetry Growing up, poet J. Michael Martinez loved the “La Bamba,” a movie about the life and music of Ritchie Valens. Valens was a rising rock n' roll star who died, tragically, in a 1959 plane crash at the age of 17. He was from the San Fernando Valley and had begun his recording career less than a year before his death. Yet, his legacy was already cemented through his timeless hits including, “We Belong Together,” “Donna” and his widely beloved interpretation of the Mexican folk song, “La Bamba.” Sasha Khokha talks to San José State professor J. Michael Martinez, who has created a new, poetic ode to Valens. Tarta Americana (Spanish for ‘American Pie') uses the life and music of Valens to better understand issues around race, culture and politics as they show up in Martinez's own life.

Where do Nerds end and Perverts begin - and are you down for a little Hard Justice while bent over the hood of a Batmobile? When Bruce Wang's long lost lover returns from Australia, she needs Bruce's help to get her mojo back. He wants to help - and where better than ComicCon?! Brace yourselves, dear listener, cause there's a lot of Cameos in this episode: Wolverine, Catwoman, Doctor Who, Superman, AquaMan, Boy Robin, Deadpool, that super hot Centaur guy from the Old Spice commercial - but thankfully, Squirrel Girl never makes an appearance. Yes, those really ‘out there' fantasies can come true; all it takes is a clever, enthusiastic co-conspirator. #NerdAndPerverts #NewExperience   Song: ‘Trouble in Metropolis' (Jefferson Bergey) Learn more about Jefferson Bergey at: JeffersonBergey.com or help him create at patreon.com/JeffersonBergey About the Storyteller:   Bruce Wang is a prolific and well-respected Comic Book Writer and Cartoonist.
