In this episode of Bring the Pain, I decided to kick it old school and do a VGM podcast about one of my favorite video game series, Ninja Gaiden. This fast-paced side-scroller had some of my fondest memories with my friends and my brother Tom. Ninja Gaiden wasn't a joke, as many of us who played it knew, but what kept us playing was the soundtrack. All three games could definitely fit into the break beats category, which is the style of music a lot of my DJ friends play. This episode is definitely full of octane from the front to back with a few surprises along the way. It's time to buckle up and get ready for one of the craziest rides you'll go on this year. Have a great day, everyone, and may the VGM be with you.Thank you for the support and contributions all of you make for my podcasts and articles each week.

Have you ever found yourself secretly jamming to gangster rap or belting out a Justin Bieber hit when you thought no one was listening? My soon-to-be daughter-in-law Megan sure has, and she's not afraid to share it! On the latest episode of Music Junkies, I, Annette Smith, get a front-row seat to the soundtrack of Megan's life. We revel in the nostalgia of her favorite tunes, tease each other about our diverse musical preferences, and share hearty laughs over a glass of homemade wine. Our conversation is a tapestry of family memories, from sun-soaked vacations to love stories that began in unexpected places, all underscored by the songs that define these moments. Picture this: you're on a boat, the summer sun is setting, and your favorite track comes on. That's the vibe we're setting as Megan opens up about the cherished summer memories that music helped frame, from carefree boating days to concerts under the stars. But the chat isn't all sunshine and singalongs; we also get real about past misadventures, including a run-in with the law that taught us a thing or two about peer pressure and understanding parents. Through all the laughter and emotion, Megan and I delve into the importance of having someone who cares for you, whether it's in the form of a surprise love story or the close bond we share. Ending on a playful note, we dive into a game of 'Never Have I Ever,' uncovering aspirations and daring dreams, such as Megan's longing for a beach getaway and the excitement of planning her upcoming bachelorette party. We muse over the joy of odd pets, tackling questions that leave us giggling about whether we'd rather have a miniature rhino or an oversized hamster. And as the conversation winds down to the soulful strains of John Mayer and the honest rhymes of Kevin Gates, Megan leaves us with a powerful reminder: Stepping out of your comfort zone might just be the best decision you'll ever make.

How do you start a Podcast?  In Annette's case, it was random.  Not so much about starting the Podcast.  She wanted to do this when the Pandemic hit.  The randomness was about how she found her niche.Annette wanted to do something creative.  She thought about an idea with a friend, and then with her daughter.  She even put in an ad on Kijiji to get interesting stories from people.  Unfortunately, most of the stories were so depressing, and with the type of industry Annette is in, which can be challenging in itself, it didn't feel right.  She wanted something fun!!One night she was sitting with her husband and they were listening to music and speaking about the memories it generated, and how one song leads to another.  That was when Music Junkies was born.Annette started her podcast and invited people, no one said NO.  And then the journey began.  Realizing the amount of work, the editing, and writing, the posting on social media?  Annette decided to outsource the things she didn't want to do.  She just paid others to do it.  :)One thing she did do was remain genuine.  She didn't want to be polished and perfect.  She wanted to be authentic.  And she has done that.During her time she has done some in-person interviews with close friends at the start before COVID became a full-blown stay away from others issue.  She preferred that.  She could offer them their favorite drink and build a really fun connection.  Annette loves the entertaining others aspect while doing the Podcast.  She looks forward to doing more of that.Annette notes Chad and Jen were a big part of the encouragement for her to move forward.As she went along more and more friends encouraged her with their sharing.This became the birth of outrageous questions to even people she didn't know.  And the guests respond!  Even those who were shy opened up.  An incredible moment was going on her first road trip when she met up with Freeman.  Shy guy and nothing of the sort at the end of the Podcast.  Annette shares how even inviting other Podcasters was a great experience.  Multiple guests became interesting too.  Outlandish guests like Tim Langman, the previous escort turned sex educator who was the only one banned on Instagram and Facebook, yet he was lovely being so open.Annette is so passionate about each story, and each song that her guests share.  She's also excited about every new experience and new guest.  Genuine.  Real.  Less nervous and looking forward to more exciting shows.  Yes, there is the good, the bad, and the ugly being a host, however, it comes down to shaking off the water from your back and moving forward.If you want to listen to crazy fun and real stories that include music-related memories, make sure you listen to the Music Junkies Podcast.  It's real.  And if you want to be on her podcast?  Be ready to share and not care.  If you agree to be on, make sure you know what you are getting into. :)  Don't waste her time and come back later and say "I don't want that aired!"
