We're back for our 5th annual Polishing Turds Holiday special! This year we'll be covering the wacky and disturbing world of AI, perhaps the one instrument capable of making Christmas music even worse. We'll take you on a cringe-tastic sleigh ride through vast snowfields of slop; from carols of reindeer sacrifice to fake vulgar Motown hits through - and I swear to god this real - a veritable library of AI Eminem singing gospel music. Don't say you weren't warned....Select sources for this episode:Janelle Shane's early forays into AI Christmas Carols: https://www.aiweirdness.com/the-ais-carol-19-12-24/https://www.404media.co/ai-generated-christmas-music/Mic the Snare video on spotting AI in music: https://youtu.be/hld8CNQdjQs?si=pVRQTldRYzRQD9MHhttps://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/are-you-listening-bots-survey-shows-ai-music-is-virtually-undetectable-2025-11-12/THE WEIRDEST GODDAMN YOUTUBE CHANNEL THAT EXISTS: https://www.youtube.com/@MusicBarronTrumpFOLLOW US:Instagram: polishing.podcast Twitter/X: @polishing_turds email: polishingturdspodcast@gmail.com
Let's AgeGayfully® together, with intention, humor, and each other. Aging Gayfully hits the jukebox! Josh and Chris time-travel through the soundtrack of their lives—from 60s Motown and The Big Chill memories, to 70s Elton John and eight-tracks, to MTV-fueled 80s anthems like “Take On Me,” and finally a 90s detour to the Three Tenors that sparked a love of classical music. Along the way: why everyone needs “their pub,” the $20 bartender tip rule, TV shows that made us music fans, and how orchestral soundtracks and symphonies still soothe the brain as we age. It's nostalgia, community, and the science-backed wellness of music—served with bartender-level hospitality. Keywords: LGBTQ+ aging, music and memory, Motown, Elton John, MTV, 80s pop, classical music, wellbeing, community, travel & leisure. A gay senior, Christopher MacLellan, and an ally, Josh Wilson, podcasting about life, love, liberty and travel. Don't Say Gay?… Say AgingGayfully®! AgingGayfully® is about living life with dignity in an age-friendly society regardless of orientation or economic status because longevity is a justice issue. AgingGayfully® is about finding your voice as we age. We are all part of the aging process and have real connections in diversity. AgingGayfully® is a modern type of activism that supports the concept of belonging. AgingGayfully® is about Adventure, Leisure, Travel, being a citizen of the world, traveling to destinations, and being part of the global community as we age and prosper in body, mind, and spirit.

The Steelers showed out at Acrisure as they bounced Dolphins out the playoff hunt in dominant fashion. Now the Steelers must take the road to Motown aka Detroit to take on a desperate Lions team as they're currently on the outside looking in for the NFC playoffs. Join your hosts Jeremy Kohlman, Wil Masisak, and Korey Karbowsky as they discuss the dominant Dolphin win, look at the matchups against the Lions, and pick some winners in another week which features some playoff caliber showdowns in Week 16.
We all know that Santa Claus is a football fan. How else can he stay so jolly while gearing-up for a one-night trip around the world in both freezing and blazing hot temperatures next week? This man definitely has the Dad bod of a jolly old soul who watches a lot of football games during the fall. Too many cookies and hot chocolate can do that. “Ho, ho…oh, drat! That scale must be wrong again. Time to start my diet all over again come January, right?” This Friday, Saturday, and Sunday, Santa’s Workshop will hand us a glorious assortment of pre-Christmas football games to watch as the elves keep one eye on their flat screen TV’s while they work. The football games help alleviate the stress which Santa and his crew are feeling ahead of next Wednesday night’s big deliveries. “Roll Tide or Boomer, Sooner? They play Friday night! Will Ole Miss miss Kiffin as Tulane puts up a fight? Sunday’s Jaguars at Broncos – the best game of the day? Or Steelers visit Motown – which team comes to play?” It’s a holiday weekend football celebration! College football on Friday night and all day on Saturday. NFL games are plentiful, too, on both Saturday and Sunday. If your Christmas shopping isn’t done, you’ve still got Monday and Tuesday, right? Let’s preview this wonderful slate of football games coming this weekend (all times CST) Friday 12/19 10 AM – ESPN – It’s the early bird special! Myrtle Beach Bowl – Conference USA champ Kennesaw State (10-3) vs. Mid-American champion Western Michigan (9-4) Put your bowl of Cheerios down and get started watching some college football! This bowl game is played on the campus of nearby Coastal Carolina. A partly cloudy day with 64 warm degrees will greet fans watching these two mid-major conference champions. 1:30PM – ESPN – Gasparilla Bowl – Memphis (8-4) vs. N. Carolina State (7-5) This fairly even match-up makes for a great spot to take your Friday afternoon siesta. The NC State Wolfpack knocked-off top ACC teams like Virginia and Wake Forest this year. Memphis (which saw head coach Ryan Silverfield leave for Arkansas three weeks ago) will try to break a three game losing streak in Tampa on a warm 78-degree afternoon. 7PM – ABC and ESPN – College Football Playoff Game 1 – Alabama (10-3) at Oklahoma (10-2) What a terrific Friday nightcap! The Sooners beat Bama 23-21 in Tuscaloosa on November 15. This is the “Something to prove” game. Alabama’s quarterback Ty Simpson faded off the Heisman radar late in the year with several inconsistent efforts. The agent for Bama head coach Kalen DeBoer has been fielding and deflecting calls from the University of Michigan about their head coaching job vacancy. Meanwhile, Oklahoma’s offense ranks #77 in scoring and must produce more points on Friday to take some pressure off the Sooners’ vaunted sixth-ranked scoring defense. Gusty winds of up to 30 miles per hour will come sweeping down the plains in Norman, Oklahoma this Friday night. Kickoff temperatures will be in the upper 40’s to greet these two SEC competitors. Saturday – 12/20 – The greatest day of football of the year! There will be three College Football Playoff first round games, two FBS semifinal games, and two NFL games played on Saturday. Are you ready for some football? 11AM – ABC and ESPN – College Football Playoff Game 2 – Miami (FL) (10-2) at Texas A&M (11-1) This is the first ever playoff game for the Texas Aggies. Yell practice on Friday night in College Station, Texas might be be heard as far away as downtown Houston! Miami comes in as a 4-point underdog. The Hurricanes’ experienced quarterback Carson Beck has been involved in playoff games in three seasons at Georgia prior to coming to Miami this year. The Aggies are at home. They are quite hungry to win their first playoff game, too. The mighty 12th man (the A&M fans) will unleash a wall of sound at Miami for the entire game. Sunshine and 75 degrees await these two teams in College Station Saturday. 2:30PM – TNT – College Football Playoff Game 3 – Tulane (11-2) at Ole Miss (11-1) Keep your remote control nearby – just in case this game gets ugly early. The Rebels trounced Tulane 45-10 earlier this year, so oddsmakers established Ole Miss as a 17-point home favorite in this game. Ole Miss is without offensive guru head coach Lane Kiffin (who left for LSU). Defensive coordinator Pete Golding was tapped as the team’s new top man in Oxford. Tulane’s best hope is to get off to a good start and maintain pressure on the home favorite down the stretch. Sunshine and 60 degree weather will prevail Saturday afternoon in northern Mississippi. 3PM – ABC – FCS Semifinal Game 1 – Montana (13-1) at Montana State (12-2) This is a rematch from a very exciting regular season finale won by Montana State 31-28 on the University of Montana’s home field. The still angry Grizzlies will lumber to Bozeman on Saturday seeking to even the score and advance into the national championship game in Nashville on January 5. The Montana Grizzlies’ high powered offense has generated more than 40 points in their 13 victories this season. Montana State, though, specializes in defense. The Bobcats are #6 nationally and allow a little more than 17 points per game. Ticket prices for this semifinal playoff game are through the roof with resellers grabbing $650 apiece this week. Sunshine and Montana-like temperatures of 30 degrees at kickoff await these two longtime foes Saturday afternoon. 6:30PM – ESPN2 – FCS Semifinal Game 2 – Illinois State (11-4) at Villanova (12-2) These two overachievers are now just one game away from playing for a national championship. Quarterback Tommy Rittenhouse has been on fire over the past month for Illinois State. The Redbirds went on the road to knock-off #1 overall seed North Dakota State two weeks ago and downed #8 seed UC-Davis in California last weekend. They are loose and playing like a team of destiny. The Wildcats from Villanova are the #12 FCS seed. They fell behind 14-0 in last week’s game at #4 seed Tarleton State. Villanova’s defense stiffened, and the offense roared back to score a 26-21 victory to advance into the semifinal round game at home against Illinois State. A clear, cold night is ahead for these two teams in Philadelphia with temperatures falling into the mid-30’s. 6:30PM – TNT – College Football Playoffs Game 4 – James Madison (12-1) at Oregon (11-1) It’s the Dukes against the Ducks! The upstart James Madison Dukes from the Sunbelt Conference will travel 2,800 miles west to take on the Oregon Ducks. JMU’s defense is ranked #10 nationally and allows a miserly 16 points per game. Oregon’s high flying offense is #9 in the FBS group and generates more than 38 points per game. Quarterback Dante Moore produced 24 touchdown passes this season versus six interceptions. It is expected to be perfect weather – for ducks – on Saturday night with rain expected and chilly temperatures in low 40’s. NFL – The chase for the playoffs continues Saturday and Sunday Saturday – 4PM on FOX – Philadelphia Eagles (9-5) at Washington Commanders (4-10) The defending Super Bowl champion Eagles can clinch a playoff spot Saturday with a win. Commanders quarterback Jayden Daniels will not play after re-injuring his non-throwing elbow last week. Saturday – 7:20PM on FOX – Green Bay Packers (9-5) at Chicago Bears (10-4) The Pack needs to win to have any chance to capture the NFC North title. No one (except some die-hard Bears fans) expected Chicago to be 10-4 and leading this division. A win by Chicago at home Saturday night (and a Detroit loss on Sunday) would lock-up a playoff spot for da’ Bears. Sunday – 12 Noon – FOX – Los Angeles Chargers (10-4) at Dallas Cowboys (6-7-1) If Philadelphia should lose at Washington Saturday, Dallas retains a 1% chance of making the playoffs. They will have to defeat a Chargers team which is on the brink of clinching a return to the AFC playoffs for the second straight year. Sunday – 3:05PM – FOX – Jacksonville Jaguars (10-4) at Denver Broncos (12-2) Both of these teams have surprised the so-called experts this fall. Jacksonville leads Houston by one game and Indianapolis by two. A win would solidify the Jaguars’ chances to make the playoffs. Denver is trying to lock-up the AFC’s #1 seed along with home field advantage through the playoffs as the Broncos ride an 11-game winning streak. Sunday – 3:30PM – CBS – Pittsburgh Steelers (8-6) at Detroit (8-6) Can the Steelers offense score enough points to compete against the pinball machine offense of the Detroit Lions? A loss by the Lions on Sunday would put them at risk of missing the playoffs for the first time in three years. Sunday – 7:20PM – NBC – New England Patriots (11-3) at Baltimore Ravens (7-7) The Ravens are fighting to stay alive in the AFC North as they battle the Pittsburgh Steelers for the division title. New England is a surprising 6-0 on the road this year. The no-name Patriots are fighting to stay one-game ahead of Buffalo in the AFC East.

Tim Conway Jr. kicks off this Best Of hour with a special guest: Lawrence Payton Jr. of The Four Tops, sharing heartfelt and fascinating stories about his legendary father and life growing up around Motown greatness. The conversation continues with more behind-the-scenes moments from The Four Tops’ nonstop touring with The Temptations, including the fan-favorite song that gets every crowd on its feet. The hour shifts into nostalgia as Tim dives into school memories and the hilarious saga of attending — or avoiding — high school reunions, including his unforgettable 40th. And things wrap up Conway-style with an open letter to King Taco, a passionate plea from the heart (and stomach). A warm, funny, musical, and delightfully random Best Of hour that hits all the Conway notes.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Hip-hop culture was a dominant force during the '80s and '90s, and inspired language, fashion, film, and music. Yes, that includes plenty of alternative music. But that's not what we're talking about today. Instead, we explore the inverse - how influential was alternative music in the world of hip hop? While perhaps not quite as pervasive, it did exist - whether it be through the use of sampling recognizable songs, a cross-pollination of styles and artists coming together, or perhaps just an overall attitude or spirit. Our Third Lad this week, Lemoyne Alexander, is a man who has bridged both the hip-hop and alternative worlds and then some. He played in family bands throughout the ‘70s & ‘80s including the Fascination, who had some dance club hits like 1986's “Why Are You Always Complaining?” before settling in as a hip hop producer both solo and with the production team 3 Da Hard Way, working on records by the likes of Aalyiah, DMX, DJ Jazzy Jeff & The Fresh Prince, and for labels like Jive and Motown. Lemoyne left the rap game to return to his earliest passions - the guitar and rock n' roll, releasing Solitude in 2019 and Perfect World in 2023. 2024's indie rock single “Insecurity” is an earworm that once you hear that infectious chorus, it's going to take up residence in your head for all your days. With a new single "Claustrophobia" (which you will hear during this episode!) and LP Alone on the horizon, Lemoyne is poised to continue making his mark on alt rock. Oh, and on top of that, we've got a brand new O3L game for y'all: Off Da Chartz (aka Rap Draft), in which our contestants draft five albums that they believe will appear on Boombox's list of the Top 50 Alternative Rap Albums of all time. Plus, Uncle Gregg rants aplenty. Oh, the rants. Yo! Thanks to Laura Bissett from the MyWhy Agency for the introduction and coordination. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

“Detroit would be a sad place if we weren't all different,” says Hot Sam's co-owner Tony Stovall, opening a conversation that moves like a masterclass in Black Detroit legacy, style, and spiritual grounding. In this Detroit is Different episode, Tony traces his journey from East St. Louis to the Eastside, from a 15-year-old getting his first suit to becoming co-owner of Detroit's oldest Black-owned clothing store, a century-strong institution that shaped generations of our city's fashion identity. “You have one opportunity to make your first impression,” he reminds us, weaving lessons on manhood, mentorship, and the power of loving our people out loud. Tony shares how he and Mr. Green built Hot Sam's through grit, customer devotion, and faith—“Nothing comes between me and my partner but me or him”—and how Detroit's flair impacts the world. This episode speaks to past and future: migration, Motown elegance, Black entrepreneurship, and why keeping the Black dollar circulating is a cultural responsibility. If you love Detroit, if you believe in legacy, if you believe that style is spiritual—this is required listening.

Don't Kill the Messenger with movie research expert Kevin Goetz
Send Kevin a Text MessageIn this episode of Don't Kill the Messenger, host Kevin Goetz sits down with legendary producer and entertainment executive Suzanne de Passe. From championing the Jackson 5 early in their career to producing Emmy Award–winning miniseries like Lonesome Dove, Suzanne's career is defined by vision, talent recognition, and breaking barriers in Hollywood.An Eclectic, Wonderful Childhood (02:16) Suzanne describes growing up in Harlem, attending the progressive private school New Lincoln, and spending summers in Martha's Vineyard.Suzanne's Superpower (12:46) Suzanne talks about her greatest talent: recognizing the talent of others and knowing what to do with it.The Meeting That Changed Everything (16:22) Through her friendship with Cindy Birdsong of The Supremes, Suzanne met Berry Gordy in 1967, a moment that changed her life forever."One Day, That's Gonna Be Me" (21:19) Standing under the Essex House sign, watching Diana Ross depart in one limo, and the other Supremes in another, Suzanne had a realization: she wanted to be a part of that world.Championing The Jackson 5 (31:39) When Bobby Taylor invited her to hear a young group of brothers sing four songs a cappella, “the hair on the back of my neck flew up,” Suzanne recalls.

Gladys Knight & the Pips hold an essential place in American music history, but within the ensemble's smooth choreography and signature harmonies, one member often stood out for his quiet consistency, unmistakable stage presence, and velvet-textured vocals: William Guest. His contributions helped shape the unmistakable sound of the group, even if he wasn't always the one in the spotlight.The story begins in Atlanta, Georgia, where Gladys Knight was already turning heads with her powerhouse vocals as a child. In 1952, after winning a televised talent competition, she joined forces with her brother Merald “Bubba” Knight and cousins Edward Patten and William Guest. The four formed a family group called The Pips, named after another cousin, James “Pip” Woods. Even in the early days, Guest's natural musicality was obvious. His voice had a warm, fluid tone, and he possessed a dancer's instinct — smooth, rhythmic, and always in total sync with the group.Throughout the '50s and early '60s, The Pips worked tirelessly, playing hometown shows and steadily building a reputation for their professionalism and perfectly blended harmony parts. William was a key part of the group's vocal chemistry. While Gladys carried the lead, it was William, Edward, and Bubba who built the lush vocal bed the group became famous for. Their first hit, “Every Beat of My Heart,” arrived in '61 and put the group on the national radar. But the real transformation came in '66 when they signed with Motown Records. Surrounded by giants of the era, Gladys Knight & the Pips carved out their own lane. What many don't realise is just how physically demanding the group's work was during the Motown years. William wasn't simply a backing singer — he was part of the group's visual identity. His dance lines with Bubba and Edward became part of the group's signature.In '73, after moving to Buddah Records, the group hit an extraordinary creative stride. “Midnight Train to Georgia,” “Best Thing That Ever Happened to Me,” and “I've Got to Use My Imagination” defined an era, and William Guest was right there at the heart of it. Behind the scenes, he was known as a gentle, steady soul — humble, thoughtful, and devoted to the craft. His professionalism was legendary: he rehearsed meticulously, respected the group's tight vocal blend, and helped maintain the discipline that kept the band performing at an elite level for decades.The group continued releasing hits through the '70s and '80s, including “Love Overboard,” which won a Grammy and introduced the group to a new generation. By the time they retired in '89, they had become one of the longest-running and most respected vocal groups in American music.William Guest didn't step away from music after the group's farewell. Instead, he poured his energy into nurturing new talent. He co-founded the Crew Records label and later the Gladys Knight & the Pips Foundation, focusing on youth development and musical education — a reflection of his belief in giving young performers the kind of opportunities he'd had as a child.When Gladys Knight & the Pips were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in '96, it was a moment that finally spotlighted the collective contributions of all four members — including the man whose steady artistry helped carry the group across four decades.William Guest passed away in 2015. His sister in law, author Lady Dhyana Ziegler spent years interviewing him and recently published his story " Midnight Train From Georgia" It speaks of his voice, his movement, and his unwavering commitment to excellence that helped shape one of the greatest soul ensembles of all time . Lady D joins us today to share the story of William Guest whose influence lives on in the countless R&B vocal groups who model themselves on the Pips' precision and style today.
“Who headlined a 2012 show in France with The Darkness and Lady Starlight as openers?” That's just one of the brain-busting questions in this unforgettable episode of The Ben and Skin Show, featuring hosts Ben Rogers, Jeff “Skin” Wade, Kevin “KT” Turner, and Krystina Ray.The crew dives headfirst into Name That Headliner, a fast-paced, hilarious music trivia game that spans decades—from the Motown magic of the '60s to the indie anthems of the 2010s. Expect wild guesses, shocking reveals, and plenty of laugh-out-loud banter.Key Highlights:KT introduces the game and immediately sparks chaos with rules no one can agree on.Skin dominates early, but not before Krystina nails a surprise Coldplay clue.Legendary lineups revealed: Jethro Tull at Red Rocks, Jay-Z with DMX and Method Man, and the jaw-dropping Whitesnake show that had ZZ Top opening.Plus, the crew reminisces about concerts they'd kill to attend and drops some killer music knowledge along the way.
Before the Supremes, before Berry Gordy, a Los Angeles record label run out of a garage was shaping the future of American music.Founded by Dootsie Williams in the early 1950s, Dootone Records became a hub of innovation—recording doo-wop, jazz, and the first Black comedy albums that would influence generations. But while the physical site of Dootone has nearly vanished, its intangible heritage—the voices, rhythms, and entrepreneurial spirit it carried—still reverberates through today's culture. Through interviews with historian Robert Petersen and Getty preservationist Rita Cofield, this episode explores what it means to preserve sound as history: how a song like “Earth Angel” can outlast the walls that once contained it, and why the legacy of Dootone still matters today.Join Jaime as he retraces Dootone's path with Robert Petersen and Rita Cofield—following the threads from a Central Avenue porch to playlists today and uncovering how keeping these sounds in circulation keeps Dootone's legacy alive.Special thanks to Rita Cofield and Robert Petersen.

The Wolf & Action Jackson will admit they aren't the world's biggest Beatles fans. Though we appreciate their influence to help create the music we love through generations, we generally don't gravitate towards their albums. However, in researching Rubber Soul as it turns 60 on December 3, we gained new appreciation and respect for the Lads from Liverpool. They had grown up quite a bit in the last few years and found themselves writing more mature lyrics while experimenting with different sounds. The Beatles had met and befriended Bob Dylan and in their second trip to the US had met Elvis and formed mutual admiration societies with The Byrds, Motown and Stax. They experimented with LSD and the boys used to call Rubber Soul the pot album as they partook during the recording. So as they wove all those influencers into their own music, they also started to write more personal songs. Paul exchanged sweet nothings for standoffish goodbyes in songs like You Won't See Me and I'm Looking Through You. A contemplative John Lennon reminisces about growing up (In My Life) and the eternal search for that special someone (Girl). Young George Harrison was ready to step up to the plate with his own mature offerings like Think For Yourself and If I Needed Someone. The album was well received by peers and critics and is considered the point where the album became more than just a larger collection of songs but one statement from a moment in time. Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown) was an international hit about an affair John had. Michelle seems like a sweet ode to a French girl when it was the boys making fun of Paul for trying to speak French at parties to meet girls. Even the big hit Drive My Car is very tongue in cheek about the silliness and pitfalls of fame. Though the oldest of them were 25, The Beatles proved they were more than just cute mop tops with guitars. They were artists pushing the envelope in the studio of what rock music could be. Rubber Soul was that next step in the evolution of the band and rock.

Let Us Know What You Think of the Show!Date: November 26, 2025Name of podcast: Backstage Pass RadioS9: E10: dUg Pinnick (Kings X / Grinder Blues) Motown Roots to Metal TruthsSHOW SUMMARY:A voice that can shake a room and a bass tone you can feel in your ribs—dUg Pinnick of King's X joins us for a candid, wide-open conversation about art, survival, and building a sound that refuses the mold. From a childhood spent glued to record players to the thunder of Led Zeppelin and Deep Purple, dUg traces how Motown roots and gospel grit fused with heavy riffs to form the King's X blueprint. We talk about the business as he's lived it—70 years of evolution and disruption—why validation culture can starve the soul, and how a band can stay small on charts yet massive in people's lives.dUg breaks down his uniquely architectural approach to writing: drum groove first, guitars and bass next, and lyrics last, pulled straight from lived emotion. He opens the hood on tone design, too—signal splitting for grit and chime, frequency carving that lets bass feel huge without drowning guitars, and why a 12‑string bass keeps his hands honest. We revisit the Dogman era with producer Brendan O'Brien, tuning choices that made the record hit like their live show, and the stubborn love that fuels a cult following decade after decade.There's warmth and wit here—AC/DC dinner stories, the joy of seeing U2 at the Rose Bowl, and the humility of knowing fans bring their own history to every chorus. dUg shares what's next: final tweaks on his solo record, the spark of a rock-and-roll cooking show, and a stack of ideas ready for the next King's X chapter. If you care about songwriting, bass tone, heavy music history, or simply staying true when trends shift, this conversation delivers depth you can use and heart you can feel.If this moved you, follow the show, share it with a friend, and leave a quick review so more music fans can find it.Sponsor Link:WWW.ECOTRIC.COMWWW.SIGNAD.COMWWW.RUNWAYAUDIO.COMBackstage Pass Radio Social Media Handles:Facebook - @backstagepassradiopodcast @randyhulseymusicInstagram - @Backstagepassradio @randyhulseymusicTwitter - @backstagepassPC @rhulseymusicWebsite - backstagepassradio.com and randyhulsey.comArtist(s) Web Pagewww.kingsxrocks.comCall to actionWe ask our listeners to like, share, and subscribe to the show and the artist's social media pages.
