In order to move on the path of liberation, we need to see what gets in the way. The Buddha's teaching of the Five Hindrances is a helpful way to recognize these sometimes subtle obstacles and learn how to release them so we can continue towards freedom.Recorded June 20, 2026 in the virtual worldSend me a text with any questions or comments!

Bad at Sports Episode 951 has Duncan MacKenzie and Ryan Peter Miller still in Miami for a conversation with Chicago artist Tali Halpern at NADA, representing 1210 Gallery. The conversation spans weaving, sobriety, punk music, queer identity, labor, spectacle, and the ecstatic possibilities of fiber art. Halpern discusses their transition from painting and addiction into weaving, their work with digital looms at Loom Room, and the way embellishment, rhinestones, embroidery, and collage become acts of healing and reconstruction. The episode touches on Chicago's art community, punk aesthetics, club culture, spiritual labor, and the tension between craft traditions and contemporary experimentation.

Eric Newman and Kate Wolf speak to journalist and music critic Barry Walters about Mighty Real: A History of LGBTQ Music 1969-2000. Spanning three decades of pop, disco, rock, funk, folk, and much more, Mighty Real looks at the power of popular music to challenge sexual norms and gender categories in ways both coded and overt. Covering headliners such as David Bowie, The Velvet Underground, Motown, Nirvana and Judas Priest, to more obscure players like Lavender Country and the lesbian label, Olivia Records, Walters shows how queerness is encoded in the very DNA of some of our most beloved songs and albums. Mighty Real also testifies to how music both reflects the reality of gay culture and, subversively, brings it into the mainstream.
This week, half of us are at the beach enjoying some r n' r, so we thought we'd listen to some r n' r with a beachy vibe. We are pulling the plug… and gasping for air… guitars! Rock artists have been playing acoustic since the very beginning. In fact, most songwriters start the process with an acoustic instrument. There's something about capturing the sound of a song on just wire and wood that has a vulnerable, human feel to it. Dig your toes into the sand, breathe in the salt air, and enjoy these tunes with a frosty beverage. What's this InObscuria thing? We're a podcast that exhumes obscure Rock n' Punk n' Metal and puts them in one of 3 categories: the Lost, the Forgotten, or the Should Have Beens. Mtv started a series in 1989 called “Unplugged”, and almost every mainstream relevant act started producing acoustic albums or versions of their songs. This week we listen to some artist that you may have never considered as having acoustic interpretations of their songs. Songs this week include: Moon Tooth – “Trust” from Violent Grief: Acoustic Selections (2020) Hawkwind – “PSI Power” from Acoustic Daze (2019) Tora Tora – “Son Of A Prodigal Son” from Unplugged EP (2020) Michael Kiske – “You Always Walk Alone” from Past In Different Ways (2008) MIRADOR – “Fortune's Fate (Reborn At Badon Hill)” from The Gathering At Badon Hill (2026) Junkyard – “Til The Wheels Fall Off (Acoustic Version)” from Rome Is Burning (2020) Bloody Hammers – “Graveyard Waits” from The Acoustic Halloween Special (2025) Testament – “The Legacy (Live)” from Live At The Fillmore (1995) Mercy Beat – “Another Day” from Walk With Me (1999) Please subscribe everywhere that you listen to podcasts!

Daniel Johnston, a visual artist and singer-songwriter from West Virginia made his mark in the indie music scene of the1980s. His raw and unpolished style earned him a label as an outsider artist, and a place in the state's Music Hall of Fame. Johnston recorded his best-known songs on cassette in his parents' basement in Hancock County. Songwriters saw past the lo-fi production values and musicians like Nirvana's Kurt Cobain championed his work. Johnston was diagnosed with bipolar disorder in his 20s, and as his fame grew, his mental health struggles increased. He died in 2019 at age 58, leaving hundreds of songs and drawings. In this award-winning episode of Us & Them, host Trey Kay talks with family members, musicians and others about Daniel's life and legacy.
The Butthole Surfers started way back in 1981 with Gibby Haynes and Paul Leary started a band. They quickly grew a reputation in Texas and throughout the country as one of the most provocative and outlandish bands in the country. They had a massive influence on contemporary artists like Kurt Cobain, White Zombie, and Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers. They hit massive success with their album electriclarryland and the single Pepper. After the success of their album they had a follow album After the Astronaut, but because of disputes with their record label and problems with their manager they never were able to release it until now. The band is planning on releasing it June 26th 2026. Before the album is released Paul was nice enough to come on the show! Paul and Doc talk about starting Butthole Surfers, going on Capital records, working with John Paul Jones, Paul getting invited to produce for the Meat Puppets and Sublime, recording with Stone Temple Pilots, touring with Nirvana, recording electriclarryland, recording After the Astronaut and so much more! Meanwhile on the rest of the show Doc and Mike roll through the top 3 classic country songs, and Mike gets a little behind the music.

"The new owners of Fender since 2020 are attempting to own the copyright on the Stratocaster body. A German court has taken them part of the way but most experts don't believe it will hold up to scrutiny. Nonetheless, Fender has sent Cease and Desist letters to multiple guitar makers telling them to stop production, call back orders and destroy stock. Fender may have just committed brand suicide because history is not on their side."

The 5th precept is more than just an admonition not to drink or use drugs, but is an invitation to look at our consumption and how we may numb ourselves and become lost in delusion.

Inspired by Pitchfork, Jay presents a question. What's your perfect 10 album? The guys discuss their picks. Jay chose Paul's Boutique by the Beastie Boys, Nick went with In the Aeroplane Over the Sea by Neutral Milk Hotel, and Greg landed on his first perfect 10 album, Nevermind by Nirvana. You can check out the 240 artists that responded over on Pitchfork: https://pitchfork.com/features/240-artists-on-their-perfect-10-albums/Song: Beastie Boys - “Shake Your Rump”It's News with Nick! Apparently it was news to Nick that in 2009, when Thom Yorke was assembling a band to perform songs from his solo record Eraser, he enlisted Flea of the Red Hot Chili Peppers to play bass! In more recent news, the Kennedy Center retains it's original name and independent music platform Nina Protocol is shutting down in July.Song: Flea - “Traffic Lights (feat Thom Yorke)”Friend of the show, Nate Kalwicki, was recently awarded a mortgage free home by the amazing folks at A Soldier's Journey Home. An Afghanistan veteran, Nate lost his right leg in an ambush and met Greg while recuperating at Walter Reed Hospital. Listeners may remember that he's now the guitarist for The Resilient. The band got to perform at the celebration and Greg gives us a play-by-play on “Tales From the Concert.”Song: Aphex Twin - “Window Licker”
"It is no secret that music contracts can be rather brutal on artists. Often the stories focus on not getting paid but there is also the interesting idea of a lawsuit ordering a musician to fill his or her contract and record what we are calling a court ordered album. We have multiple examples plus one where the band was paid NOT to record an album."
"Sony Music Publishing confirmed an agreement to acquire Blackstone's Recognition Music Group catalog for $3.5 billion. The Red Hot Chili Peppers just sold their catalog for $300 million. Other Funds are raising billions to start buying. These buyers are called Music Rights Funds. I became interested in how these Funds actually made money. How does one invest and can I sell my own music. I have the answers for you."
"The New York Times released their 30 Greatest Living American Songwriters list a short while ago. I know online lists usually have some click bait to start conversation but this list was overtly egregious. Not for who was on it. It was who was left off. We will go over the list and play some artists that should have been on there."
☕ Welcome back to Tea & Soju, your drama hangout for all things Cdrama!In this week's episode, I'm taking a step back and reflecting on how my Cdrama taste has evolved since I first started watching back in 2018.When I first discovered Cdramas, I was all about actors, romance, and modern dramas. Everything felt new and exciting, and I wasn't paying much attention to things like screenwriting, directing, pacing, or story structure. Fast forward a few years, and not only has my viewing taste evolved, but so has the way I watch dramas.From modern romances to political masterpieces like Nirvana in Fire, I'm chatting about how historical dramas won me over, why I now pay much more attention to writing and directing, how starting Tea & Soju changed my perspective as a viewer, and why I find myself gravitating towards very different dramas than I did when I first started.In this episode, we discuss:

Conversation with Washington Post columnist and political scientist Shadi Hamid on American power, democracy, and the case for hegemony in the 21st centuryIs America a force for good in the world? It's a question that has become increasingly uncomfortable to ask—and even more uncomfortable to answer. In this episode of Due Diligence, I sit down with political scientist, columnist, and author Shadi Hamid to explore one of the central tensions of modern politics: how should we think about American power in a world where power is unavoidable? Drawing from his new book, The Case for American Power, Shadi argues that while America has often fallen short of its ideals, it remains the least bad option in a world where someone will inevitably wield power. Throughout the conversation, we wrestle with a question that sits at the heart of Due Diligence: How do we hold America accountable for its failures without losing sight of what makes the American project worth preserving? Whether you're skeptical of American power, broadly supportive of it, or deeply conflicted about both, this conversation offers a thoughtful exploration of democracy, empire, idealism, realism, and the future of the international order.(00:43) Meet Shadi Hamid(01:56) Why power must be embraced(04:14) Why America is morally superior among great powers(05:28) The Nirvana fallacy (09:28) Is American foreign policy responsive to democracy?(12:09) How Gaza became a progressive litmus test (15:13) James Baldwin's argument(17:37) Why Democratic pride in America collapsed (20:44) Pride in country vs. love of country(25:17) Why American hypocrisy is a feature, not a bug(33:50) Sincerity vs. propaganda(36:21) Why having ideals makes America different(37:53) Why presidents fold on their foreign policy promises(41:15) The Obama tragedy & disappointment(42:59) How Obama obstructed Arab democracy(45:37) The uncomfortable reason America doesn't support Arab democracy(48:02) When America chose the moral path (51:23) Why supporting democracy is in America's self-interest(54:27) Why China's rise has been overstated(59:43) The role of cultural values in democracy(01:03:50) Idealism vs. realism(01:06:35) The challenge of writing this book(01:08:54) Why America's advantage is immigrationAbout Shadi HamidShadi Hamid is a columnist at The Washington Post, where he focuses on culture, religion and foreign policy. He is also a senior fellow at Georgetown University's Center for Muslim-Christian Understanding. Previously, he was a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution and a contributing writer at The Atlantic. Hamid is the author of several books, including most recently, “The Case For American Power.” In 2019, Hamid was named one of the world's top 50 thinkers by Prospect magazine. He is also the co-founder of “Wisdom of Crowds,” a podcast, newsletter and debate platform.

What happens when you mix the traditional storytelling of classic country with the raw, uncompromising distortion of 90s alternative rock? You get the spellbinding sound of Melbourne singer-songwriter Katie Bates. Fresh off the release of her brilliant new single "Tunnel Vision," Katie joins Jamie on the show for an intimate, deep-dive exploration of her musical DNA, the fierce grit of the Australian music scene, and what it truly means to defend your artistic identity in a fast-moving digital age. In this episode, we go far beyond the standard press junket to break down the mechanics of Katie's unique sonic friction. Raised on a steady diet of family vinyl, Katie opens up about how a childhood obsession with The Wizard of Oz unexpectedly handed her a guitar at just six years old, setting her on a path to cut her teeth in local Melbourne bars and live music clubs long before most kids her age had even finished school. Jamie and Katie dive headfirst into the fascinating philosophy behind her records, discussing why she intentionally pairs clear, soaring country vocals with the snarling, heavy production elements of grunge titans like Nirvana and PJ Harvey. They tackle the psychology of dynamic contrasts in songwriting, the unique perspective gained from stepping out of the spotlight to work as a live sidewoman for other prominent acts, and her unfiltered thoughts on the frustration of navigating today's single-driven streaming ecosystem when your heart belongs to the timeless architecture of a full-length album. Turn it up, lean in, and join us for a masterclass in independent artistry.
Krystina unearthed some rare Nirvana footage, featuring fan commentary and interviews from the band following their legendary Unplugged performance.
Rock, metal, and high-stakes political drama collide on today's episode of the Metal Breakdown Daily with host Scott Penfold. We are breaking down the three biggest stories tearing through the heavy music community right now. In This Episode: The Poison / Freedom 250 Backlash: Poison frontman Bret Michaels shocked fans over the weekend by pulling out of Donald Trump's upcoming multi-day "Freedom 250" event in Washington, D.C. Michaels cited "unforgivable threats" against his family and crew, triggering an absolute war zone in his social media comments. We look at the massive fan pushback and why Poison bandmate Rikki Rockett had to step into the ring to fiercely defend his frontman. The Ultimate Revenge Cover Band: Puddle of Mudd is famous for its insane member turnover rate (Wikipedia lists 18 former members), largely due to Wes Scantlin's decades of erratic behavior. Now, two long-term former touring members, Matt Fuller and Dave Moreno, have joined forces to launch a tribute band called X-Mudds. Fronted by a Nirvana tribute vocalist, they are hitting the road this summer to play the songs they powered for ten years—without any of the frontman drama. Six Feet Under's New Brutalizer: Death metal icons Six Feet Under have parted ways with drummer Marco Pitruzzella and officially welcomed Ruston Grosse (ex-Master) behind the kit. Grosse is jumping straight into the fire, hitting massive European festivals like Hellfest, Graspop, and Copenhell this week before the band launches a massive North American co-headlining run with Kataklysm this fall.

Music critic Barry Walters joins co-hosts Whitney Terrell and Christian Barter to discuss his new book, Mighty Real: A History of LGBTQ Music 1969-2000. Walters talks about how he chose the artists that he includes in his book and explains how musicians like David Bowie, Lou Reed, Grace Jones, and Sylvester saved his life. He explores how social repression shaped and complicated work from LGBTQ bands, how queer acts like Queen were pigeonholed by music critics, and how mainstream groups like Nirvana spoke to the LGBTQ experience.

The Rizzuto Show accidentally turns into a full-blown 90s alternative rock therapy session this episode — and honestly, we're not qualified for that kind of emotional labor. Jimmy Griffin joins the crew ahead of Hard Promises taking over The Pageant, and things immediately derail into a passionate debate over which songs got CRANKED in your Geo Metro and which songs made you consider driving directly into the nearest retaining wall. Totally normal behavior for a daily comedy show.The gang breaks down the magic of The Pageant in St. Louis, why certain venues just hit different, and how every local musician basically treats that stage like sacred ground. Jimmy, Moon, and the crew talk touring memories, legendary staff, and why The Pageant remains one of the best venues in the country. Meanwhile, Rafe contributes important scientific analysis like “this song belongs in the organic peanut butter aisle at Schnucks.”Then comes the glorious avalanche of 90s nostalgia. Bush. Silverchair. Local H. Soul Asylum. Fastball. Collective Soul. Gin Blossoms. Primitive Radio Gods. The Wallflowers. Deep Blue Something. Dishwalla. Basically every song that ever played while your parents fought in the front seat of a Dodge Neon. The crew debates which songs were instant “turn-it-up” classics and which ones deserved immediate radio execution. Lern reveals her absolute hatred for “Runaway Train,” Moon passionately defends Silverchair with the energy of a man protecting sacred scripture, and Jimmy Griffin admits he thought Silverchair was just “baby Nirvana.” Somewhere during all this, Rizz realizes half these bands were apparently “for the girls,” which honestly explains a lot.Jimmy also talks about performing Tom Petty songs with Hard Promises, including why Petty's catalog is basically impossible to screw up because the songs are deceptively simple and annoyingly perfect. The crew gets into favorite deep cuts, beginner guitar memories, and the undeniable brilliance of “Last Dance with Mary Jane.” Jimmy then performs an acoustic version live in studio that immediately makes everyone forget they spent the previous hour roasting Primitive Radio Gods.But the true MVP moment of this entire episode? Jimmy's AutoZone story. A random guy confidently tells him he looks like “Earl Smith” — apparently the legendary frontman of Aerosmith now has the name of a retired high school baseball coach from Festus. Congratulations to the world on accidentally creating the greatest fake musician name in history.This episode has everything:90s alt-rock chaosTom Petty appreciationaggressive music opinionsweirdly emotional radio nostalgiaGeo Metro memoriesgrocery store soundtrack analysisand a new tribute band idea called EARL SMITHJust another completely reasonable daily comedy experience from The Rizzuto Show.

There are certain questions humanity may never answer.Are aliens real?What happens after death?And most importantly… are any of us actually cool?This episode of The Rizzuto Show starts with a seemingly harmless discussion about “coolness” and immediately devolves into absolute nonsense in the best possible way. The gang debates whether being cool is confidence, mystery, talent, or just owning sunglasses indoors without looking ridiculous. Somehow Samuel L. Jackson ends up crowned America's coolest celebrity while Ryan Reynolds takes multiple unnecessary strays for allegedly becoming the human version of expensive scented soap.Things only get weirder from there.The crew dives headfirst into one of the most unexpectedly nostalgic conversations ever: iconic 80s and 90s album covers. We're talking Appetite for Destruction, Dookie, Korn, Pearl Jam, Thriller, Rage Against the Machine, Aerosmith, Poison, Nirvana, and a bunch of records that permanently altered teenage bedrooms across America. If you ever spent hours staring at CD booklet artwork pretending you understood symbolism, this episode is basically therapy.There's also:Weird Al getting a Broadway musicalAqua breaking up after nearly 30 yearsDr. Hook appreciation from out of nowhereMusic festival streaming announcementsCountry chart dominationCelebrity deaths and tributesA discussion about hiding weapons around your house that somehow became weirdly wholesomeLove on the Spectrum entering the country music worldAnd the triumphant return of Match Up With The MoronsThis comedy podcast somehow manages to mix pop culture commentary, music nostalgia, celebrity gossip, random chaos, and complete derailments into one giant beautifully broken radio sandwich. It's the kind of comedy podcast that reminds you why morning radio still matters: because nowhere else will you hear heartfelt appreciation for Pearl Jam immediately followed by someone talking about bolt cutters and baby deer.Whether you're here for the funny stories, the music talk, the celebrity nonsense, or just because your coworkers are unbearable and you need a break, this comedy podcast delivers the exact level of chaos your brain probably deserves.The Rizzuto Show continues proving daily that professionalism is technically optional.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
The Rizzuto Show returns with another completely normal and absolutely stable morning of chaos, confusion, and deeply unnecessary debates. Which means, naturally, things immediately spiral into Roman numeral panic, celebrity rankings, aquarium slander, and a conversation about hot M&M mascots that nobody involved could explain afterward.This episode kicks off with the crew diving into THE BOYS confusion spiral, where Rafe tries to figure out whether the show still makes sense, if the spin-offs matter, and whether TV writers are now legally required to create seventeen timelines for every series. Meanwhile, Riz admits he checked out seasons ago, Moon questions everything, and everyone collectively agrees Homelander might be one of the creepiest TV villains ever created.Then it's time for Match Up With The Morons, where Moon and Learn battle through trivia questions that somehow become emotionally exhausting for everyone listening. The questions seem simple enough at first: first CGI movie, fireworks origins, Roman numerals, pesto ingredients. Easy, right? Wrong. Very wrong.What follows is one of the funniest mental spirals in recent show history as Learn attempts to reason her way through Roman numerals using centuries, millenniums, Charlie XCX, and pure panic. Meanwhile, Moon accidentally reverse-engineers the correct pesto answer while openly admitting he has no idea what herbs are. Honestly? Educational programming at its finest.Elsewhere in the episode, the crew debates whether they're cool now compared to high school, which quickly turns into a surprisingly aggressive discussion about celebrity cool rankings. Samuel L. Jackson gets crowned as one of the coolest humans alive, while Ryan Reynolds catches multiple stray shots for allegedly giving off “annoying rich guy” energy. The gang also debates Matthew McConaughey road trips, Willie Nelson coolness levels, and why some celebrities feel more “beloved” than actually cool.And because this is a daily comedy show built entirely on side quests, the conversation somehow detours into old-school album artwork nostalgia. The crew reminisces about sitting with headphones on, reading CD liner notes like sacred texts, and obsessing over album covers from Guns N' Roses, Green Day, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and more. If you grew up staring at CD booklets instead of doom-scrolling, this segment will punch you directly in the feelings.Then comes one of the biggest comedy moments of the episode: Rafe's brutally honest review of the St. Louis Aquarium experience. What begins as a harmless tourist outing slowly evolves into a full investigative report involving fake train rides narrated by John Goodman, overpriced tickets, underworked fish, overworked otters, terrifying ropes courses, and a family meltdown happening live above Union Station. The otters, according to Rafe, are carrying the entire business on their tiny furry backs.The crew also tackles:The rarest M&M colorWhy pesto sauce feels suspiciously fancyWhether guns and brunch are a real thingWhy ropes courses are secretly psychological warfareThe emotional damage caused by trivia pressureWhy everyone suddenly misses CD bookletsAquarium economics nobody asked forCelebrity weirdness and rich people energySt. Louis chaos as alwaysIf you're looking for a funny podcast full of sarcastic humor, comedy talk, weird stories, celebrity gossip, nostalgic nonsense, and daily comedy chaos, this episode delivers all of it with absolutely zero structure and somehow even less dignity.The Rizzuto Show continues proving every single day that a comedy podcast does not need focus, organization, or basic emotional regulation to be entertaining. Sometimes all you need is a microphone, some trivia questions, and a complete inability to stay on topic.Subscribe for more daily comedy, entertainment gossip, hilarious fails, pop culture commentary, and unfiltered St. Louis morning show nonsense from The Rizzuto Show.Follow The Rizzuto Show → https://linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → https://1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.Off-duty cop rescues girl trapped inside claw machineWho Americans think is coolSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
Smells like the commodification of teen spirit! In this episode, we welcome beloved friend of the pod and returning guest Marshall Watson (he/him) to talk all about Nirvana and the grunge culture of the 90s.Together, Marcelle, Hannah, and Marshall dig into the anti-establishment ethos of Nirvana, the grunge genre as an act of musical resistance, and what happens once counter-culture becomes mainstream. To do this, they've obviously gotta dig into Adorno and Horkheimer's theory of the culture industry (and talk a little bit about Reagan, which they only do when Marshall is here…).If your young adult years were soundtracked to Nevermind or you just love railing against the mainstream, you're going to dig this episode.Related listening:Golden Girls x Sex Positivity with Marshall WatsonThe Craft x Feminist RageWorks Cited:Adorno, Theodore, and Max Horkheimer. 2019. “The Culture Industry: Enlightenment as Mass Deception,” in Philosophers on Film from Bergson to Badiou: A Critical Reader, ed.

On the latest episode of Tin Foil Hat, Buddhist author Von Gault explores how compressed time may be connected to Mandela Effects and shifting realities within Samsara — the endless cycle of suffering and rebirth. The episode breaks down the meaning of Moksha and Nirvana as paths to spiritual liberation, while also examining the role of the Tulku, or "Starseeds," believed to reincarnate to help guide humanity toward awakening during times of chaos and transformation.
