Music journalist Alan Light discusses spirituality and song, as well as his new book Don't Stop: Why We (Still) Love Fleetwood Mac's Rumours, which examines the enduring relevance of Fleetwood Mac's album Rumours 50 years after its release. He is interviewed by radio host Ryan Arnold. This conversation originally took place November 24, 2025 and was recorded live at the American Writers Museum. This episode is presented in conjunction with the American Writers Museum's new special exhibit American Prophets: Writers, Religion, and Culture. This exhibit and programming series explores the profound ways writing reflects and influences our understanding of religion. American Prophets is now open. AWM PODCAST NETWORK HUB More about Don't Stop: The author of The Holy or the Broken and former editor-in-chief of Vibe brings his "thoughtful and illuminating" (New York Times) insight to Fleetwood Mac's iconic album Rumours, celebrating its story, mythology, and enduring impact. On January 1, 1975, struggling young singer-songwriter Lindsey Buckingham was invited to join the veteran blues band Fleetwood Mac. He agreed on the condition that his girlfriend, an equally unknown vocalist named Stevie Nicks, also be included. Within two years, Rumours was born—and went on to become one of the most popular albums of all time. Almost five decades later, it is the only classic rock record that still attracts young listeners and continues to top sales and streaming charts. In Don't Stop, award-winning journalist and bestselling author Alan Light unravels the enduring allure of Fleetwood Mac's monumental album. Since its 1977 release, Rumours has captivated generations with its unparalleled blend of romantic turmoil and musical genius. Light explores the album's transformation from a pop phenomenon to a cultural touchstone, and its unique ability to remain relevant in today's rapidly changing music scene. Drawing on in-depth interviews with current artists inspired by Fleetwood Mac, as well as fans who have only recently discovered the album, Light investigates what keep Rumours at the forefront of popular culture, from Glee to Saturday Night Live to Daisy Jones & the Six. Through insightful analysis and storytelling, Don't Stop celebrates the album's trail blazing sound and diverse voices, and the emotional depth that continues to fascinate audiences. From the incredible soap opera behind the album's creation to its embrace in the age of TikTok, this book presents a kaleidoscopic view of a landmark work that has transcended its time. Emmy Award–winning music journalist ALAN LIGHT is the author of numerous books including The Holy or the Broken: Leonard Cohen, Jeff Buckley, and the Unlikely Ascent of “Hallelujah” (which was adapted into an acclaimed documentary), as well as Let's Go Crazy: Prince and the Making of Purple Rain and biographies of Johnny Cash, Nina Simone, and the Beastie Boys.

Hablar de los años sesenta en Estados Unidos no es solo hablar de casas en barrios residenciales de las afueras, coches mastodónticos y televisores de última tecnología. También es hablar de la lucha de colectivos oprimidos, como el pueblo afroamericano, que se lanzó a las calles, junto a líderes como Martin Luther King, para reclamar sus derechos en una sociedad profundamente racista. La música sirvió como espejo de esta realidad y, artistas como Nina Simone, utilizaron sus canciones como altavoces de protesta. El arte también supo reflejar la lucha por los derechos civiles de las personas negras. Artistas como el que hoy descubrimos, Romare Bearden, crearon obras que, además de mostrar la vida en los barrios afroamericanos, servían como instrumentos de reivindicación. Para charlar sobre todo esto, contamos con Alberto Gamoneda, educador en el Museo Nacional Thyssen Bornemisza, y Fernando Navarro, periodista musical en EL PAÍS y autor del libro "Acordes rotos. Retazos eternos de la música norteamericana".

Words taken from From the article written by Aaron Gonsher of the NYC Times. My tribute was turning this into a podcast. I've vocalised some of my comments. No credit needed for me here just pulled it together as a tribute show. On Valentine's Day in 1970, David Mancuso hosted a private party called Love Saves the Day in his loft at 647 Broadway in New York, a few blocks north of Houston Street. He was an audio obsessive with a voracious appetite for spiritual sounds and a profound sense of community, and the event was an opportunity to bring together friends in a setting unfettered by commercial demands, or the restrictions of their outside lives.

At the age of 16, Lorde went #1 across the world. She was catapulted from the suburbs of Auckland to the Grammy's stage, winning Song of the Year. 12 years and four albums later, she's continued to defy expectations as a pop artist and is one of the most gifted songwriters of our time. This is an extended edit of a Take 5 that was filmed for the TV series, but this podcast is an extended edit - capturing even more stories, insight, and sounds. It's an incredible conversation with one of the most thoughtful people I've met. Lorde has been going through a massive period of change. A chrysalis, taking new form.

Love is the Message is back! After last series' mammoth 18-month excavation of the year 1977 we're switching things up a bit. While we'll continue to chart our rough way through the history explored in our work to date, for the moment we're going to focus on a few smaller, more bite-size topics, starting with the 2024 film Soundtrack to a Coup D'Etat. A natural partner piece to our beloved Summer of Soul, Johan Grimonprez's documentary tracks in vivid and exhilarating style the Cold War episode that led American musicians Abbey Lincoln and Max Roach to crash the UN Security Council in protest against the murder of Congolese leader Patrice Lumumba. On this show Tim and Jeremy discuss mid-Twentieth Century decolonialism, resistance and the activities of black jazz activists in America. We hear the history of the colonisation of Congo by Belgium, introduce Lumumba as a unique historical figure, and spend some time reflecting on how these imperial legacies resonate today. On the music front, we hear listen to Roach behind the kit, cue up a series of Congolese rhumbas and boleros, and close with seminal civil rights singer Nina Simone. Elsewhere in the episode we stop by Malcom X, Khrushchev, and Joseph Conrad. The horror, the horror…Edited by Matt Huxley.Tracklist:Max Roach - Freedom Day Ata Ndele - Adou Elenga Joseph Kabasele - Independence Cha-Cha O.K. Jazz - Pas Un Pas Sans… Nina Simone - Wild is the WindBooks:Joseph Conrad - Heart of Darkness

This hour explores the life and legacy of singer, songwriter, pianist, and activist Nina Simone, followed by a look back at other women of the Civil Rights Movement such as Rosa Parks and singer-activist Fannie Lou Hamer. 

Baltimore, Téhéran, Buenos Aires, Khartoum, aux quatre coins du monde, des communautés sont frappées de plein fouet par les violences d'État… jusqu'au jour où elles réagissent. D'abord en s'indignant, puis en bravant tous les interdits pour faire connaître la réalité des faits, les propager et les dénoncer. Des femmes et des hommes qui se retrouvent dans la rue à défier le pouvoir, à brandir les photos de leurs enfants disparus, à chanter et à danser, pour l'égalité des droits et pour la liberté ! Mais pourquoi certaines morts soulèvent-elles des foules ? Qu'est-ce que nos émotions, de l'indignation à la colère, font à la politique ? En quoi les affections qui nous lient jouent dans nos réactions et nos actions ? Du mouvement Black Lives Matter aux États-Unis au soulèvement Femme, Vie, Liberté en Iran, en passant par la révolution au Soudan, notre invitée anthropologue Chowra Makaremi questionne nos résistances affectives. De l'intime au politique, elle livre un essai magistral aux éditions La découverte. Son titre ? « Résistances affectives. Les politiques de l'attachement face aux politiques de la cruauté ». Merci à l'Ina et à RFI pour les nombreuses archives diffusées dans cette émission. Pour découvrir le livre de Chowra Makaremi.  Les sites des mouvements de référence mentionnés dans l'émission : Black Lives Matter Colectivo Lastesis Abuelas de Plaza de Mayo Ni Una Menos.   Programmation musicale : Baltimore, de Nina Simone.   Pour aller plus loin : - Iran : Femme, Vie, Liberté» - Alaa Salah, icône de la révolution au Soudan: «il ne faut jamais se taire sur ses droits» - À Gaza, où se réfugier?

Episode 22In this podcast, professional astrologers Chani Nicholas, Thea Anderson, and Eliza Robertson look to the sky to make sense of what's happening here on Earth.This special episode is entirely dedicated to Pallas Athena — the asteroid and warrior goddess known for her strategic genius. We start by unpacking her many myths, including the famous story of her birth from Zeus' head, her role in the beheading of Medusa, and her origins in ancient Libya. Then we get into the astro of it all. We break down how Pallas Athena became one of the four asteroid goddesses, and how the archetypal warrior queen manifests in your birth chart. And finally, we look at the charts of major icons with prominent Pallas placements — like Amelia Earhart, Nina Simone, Issa Rae, and Britney Spears — and dig into the ways they each used intelligence, independence, and innovation to their advantage. Ready to enter your strategy era? Pull up your chart in the CHANI app (yes, your Pallas Athena readings have arrived), and welcome Pallas Athena into the chat.Content warning: sexual assault, domestic violenceTimestamps:(00:00) - Welcome to Down to Astro episode 22(00:50) - An introduction to Pallas Athena(11:16) - Mythological origins and evolution of Pallas Athena(23:46) - Pallas Athena's role in Greek tragedy(25:00) - The complexities of Pallas Athena's relationship with the patriarchy(27:16) - Athena and the betrayal of Medusa(36:31) - Pallas Athena and the archetype of the virgin goddess(39:12) - Pallas Athena's astrological significance(41:06) - The astronomy of the asteroid Pallas Athena(45:39) - Amelia Earhart: aviation and Athena on the ascendant(54:15) - Audre Lorde: “poetry is my primary weapon”(01:00:28) - Nina Simone: child prodigy and musical genius(01:13:09) - Diana Ross: international icon and innovato(01:15:17) - Issa Rae: “Insecure” and strategizing in communit(01:21:38) - Miley Cyrus: Pallas vs. Billy Ray Cyrus(01:24:01) - Britney Spears: a legal battle for freedom(01:27:24) - Tina Turner: superstar, sensation, survivor(01:34:12) - Lucy Lawless: TV's warrior princess(01:43:02) - How to work with Pallas Athena in the CHANI appThis episode was recorded on 7/30/2025.For more astrological insights, download the CHANI app or follow CHANI on Instagram, TikTok, and Bluesky.The song “Midas,” featured in the podcast, was created by NISHA and is available wherever you listen to music.This episode also mentioned the following creative works:“Asteroid Goddesses: The Mythology, Psychology, and Astrology of the Re-Emerging Feminine” by Demetra George and Douglas Bloch“Circe” by Madeline Miller“Flowers” by Miley Cyrus“Hit Me Baby One More Time” by Britney Spears“Insecure” (2016-2021) TV series created by Issa Rae“Metamorphoses” by Ovid“The Mis-Adventures of Awkward Black Girl” (2011-2013) Web series created by Issa Rae“Mississippi Goddam” by Nina Simone“The Oresteia” by Aeschylus“What's Love Got To Do With It?” (1993) Film directed by Brian GibsonP.S.
