Will Hoge and Dave Hause, two of roots music's most incisive songwriters, join Nashville Now live onstage at the Mile of Music Festival in Appleton, Wisconsin, for one of our most charged conversations yet. Both artists toe the line between rock & roll and Americana and use their music to make pointed cultural and political statements. Onstage at Mile of Music, one of the U.S.'s must-attend boutique festivals, Hoge and Hause tell the stories behind songs like Hoge's “Whose God Is This” and Hause's “Tarnish” — and perform them live too. Nashville Now and host Joseph Hudak put listeners right in the room with two artists who aren't afraid to speak truth to power.  Country is Here… Nashville is Now.

In this episode of On Stage, Microsoft's Chief AI Officer, MJ Jabbour, explores concepts such as “abundance of cognition,” the risks of de-skilling, and how organizations can prepare for increasingly capable AI systems.  The episode features a new addition to the SBJ On Stage format as TKO Group's EVP of Innovation, Alon Cohen, becomes the show's first guest commentator, joining host Dan Kaufman to react to Jabbour's ideas, challenge key assumptions, and discuss what AI means for sports, entertainment and human creativity. Together, this episode examines where AI creates value, where human judgment remains essential, and why curiosity, imagination and wonder may become even more important in an AI-powered future.  Here are some highlights from this episode:  AI is headed toward an "abundance of cognition” economy. MJ argues that today's frontier AI models will eventually become as inexpensive and ubiquitous as electricity. The real challenge won't be access to intelligence, but how organizations and individuals manage a world where cognitive labor is abundant and nearly free.  The biggest risk isn't job loss. It's loss of agency. MJ's concern isn't that AI replaces people, but that people stop thinking for themselves. His advice to his children, "Teach me, don't tell me" and "Think before you ask," becomes a framework for how leaders should use AI without surrendering judgment, curiosity, and independent thought.  The future belongs to creativity and imagination, not task completion.  Both MJ and Alon Cohen stress that routine, trainable work is increasingly automatable. The differentiator for employees, executives, and organizations will be creativity, emotional intelligence, judgment, and the ability to imagine something new rather than simply execute known processes.  The next frontier isn't better chatbots. It's machines creating new knowledge.  MJ predicts the biggest breakthroughs will come from "AI scientists" and systems that can discover new drugs, new technologies, and new insights rather than simply summarize existing information. Alon pushes back on whether AI can truly generate novel ideas, creating one of the episode's most compelling debates: Can AI genuinely imagine? Sign up for SBJ 360, our free, daily newsletter.

In this episode of On Stage, Andrew Yaffe, CEO of Dude Perfect, joins Bret McCormick, Staff Reporter at Sports Business Journal, for a conversation about how one of the world's most recognizable creator brands is redefining sports fandom for a new generation. Recorded in June 2026 at SBJ's Brand Innovation Summit in Chicago, the discussion explores Dude Perfect's remarkable evolution—from five friends making trick-shot videos at Texas A&M to a global entertainment business with nearly 100 million followers, live tours, merchandise, premium brand partnerships, and a long-term vision that stretches far beyond social media.  Yaffe shares how the company is thinking about its next chapter, including:  Building a Lasting Brand: Why Dude Perfect hired its first CEO and how the company is evolving from a creator collective into a multi-platform sports and entertainment business.   Authenticity at Scale: How the founders have stayed true to their original mission of simply making content that's fun—even after 17 years of explosive growth.   Beyond Digital: The strategy behind expanding into live experiences, consumer products, media, and physical destinations that deepen fan engagement.   The Creator Economy: What traditional sports organizations can learn from digital-first brands about building community and reaching younger audiences.   Culture as Strategy: Why creativity, trust, and long-term thinking are the foundation of sustainable growth.   It's an insightful look at how one of sports entertainment's most innovative brands is turning internet success into an enduring business.  Sign up for SBJ 360, our free, daily newsletter.

Rökker Smith has been a part of the Madison, Wisconsin music scene for nearly four decades. In 1996 he founded Maximum Ink Music Magazine, a statewide monthly publication that ran for 27 years. In 2011 he brought that same mission to the airwaves with Max Ink Radio, now broadcasting statewide every Saturday and Sunday night on the Civic Media Network. He's also the drummer for Madison rock band Iron Plow and the longtime programmer and stage director for Atwood Fest.In this in-depth interview, recorded at the Civic Media studio in Madison — home of Max Ink Radio's live weekend broadcasts — Andy McNamara of Code Zero Radio sits down with Rökker to talk about the 27-year run of Maximum Ink, the leap into radio, playing Bratfest and Summerfest with Iron Plow, his WAMI Wall of Honor induction, and the sudden cardiac arrest he survived on stage mid-set with his band last December. Rökker opens up about the "chain of survival," CPR and AED awareness, the PulsePoint app, and his comeback show less than a year later.We also dig into Atwood Fest 2026 (Saturday, July 25 & Sunday, July 26 in Madison), including how Rökker books three stages of local, regional, and national touring artists, his "wedding strategy" for lineup building, "Rocker's Torture" scheduling conflicts, and what first-time festivalgoers need to know before they go.Learn more about Atwood Fest:https://atwoodfest.comLearn more about Max Ink Radio & Maximum Ink Music Magazine: https://civicmedia.us/shows/max-ink-radioFollow Iron Plow for new music and show updateshttps://ironplow.rocksThis interview is part of Fox Cities Core on WCZR Code Zero Radio, covering the regional and statewide live music scene through artist interviews, venue spotlights, and show previews.

Send in your music story!A packed club. A band just starting the first song. Then a man rushes the stage with a handgun and everything changes in seconds. We're telling the story of Dimebag Darrell's murder and why it still stands as one of the most disturbing moments in heavy metal history, not because it's a mystery, but because it's so brutally direct.We walk through who Dimebag was beyond the headlines: a guitarist tied to Pantera's legacy, a player fans still cite as a defining influence, and a performer known for being unusually generous with his time and attention. From Pantera's breakup and the emotions that followed to Damageplan's new run of shows, we trace the context without turning it into gossip, because the stakes are bigger than band drama when someone is fixated and spiraling.From there, we dig into Nathan Gale's untreated paranoid schizophrenia, the delusions investigators documented, and the uncomfortable reality that “warning signs” don't always come with an off switch. We also talk concert venue security, stage access, and why many small and mid-sized clubs still feel vulnerable even after high-profile tragedies pushed the industry toward metal detectors, barriers, and better emergency planning. We even share what helps us personally when we're trying to keep our heads straight, including why we've found virtual therapy options useful.If you care about true crime in music, concert safety, mental health awareness, and the real-world risks performers face, this conversation is for you.

Bad Bunny has spent the past week closing a historic chapter in Spain and then exploding onto stages in Germany, all while his music keeps breaking records and his personal life sets social media on fire. Spanish outlet El Diario describes how Bad Bunny wrapped up his ten‑night residency at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano in Madrid, turning the stadium into what they call “an explosion of vitality and perreo,” with special guests like Quevedo and a set that mixed hits with deep cuts for more than 770,000 fans over ten days. El Nuevo Día adds that, counting Barcelona and Madrid, his DeBí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour residency in Spain drew around 600,000 listeners across 12 shows, cementing the run as one of the most ambitious Latin urban concert stretches ever staged in Europe. As soon as those Madrid shows ended, social media tracked his move north. JL Promotions Puerto Rico posted that Bad Bunny had landed in Germany for back‑to‑back, sold‑out concerts at Düsseldorf's Merkur Spiel‑Arena as part of the DeBí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour. Instagram reels from fan accounts show long lines of listeners waiting for hours in the heat to get close to the stage, highlighting how this European leg has become a full‑on cultural event, not just a concert stop. Onstage in Düsseldorf, Bad Bunny has been teasing exclusive songs that are driving conversation online. TikTok creator Julie Blanchez captured what she calls a “canción exclusiva” premiered on June 20, while urban‑news account La Junta Plus on Instagram reports that the surprise track “Vuelve” was the special song of his second and final Düsseldorf show, sparking speculation among listeners about whether these are previews of a new project or one‑off tour gifts. Another widely shared reel notes that “Enséñame a bailar” was used as a surprise moment during the German dates, tying newer tour content back to his earlier catalog and giving hardcore fans a nostalgia hit. Away from the stage, Bad Bunny's relationship status is back in the headlines. Peruvian station Radio Moda points out that a new photo of Bad Bunny walking around Düsseldorf on the night of June 17 with Gabriela Berlingeri “encendió las redes,” because the two had never clearly confirmed a breakup and had been appearing separately for months. The outlet notes that while neither has publicly defined the relationship, the image of them together during this European run has revived fan theories that they are still a couple, with Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok flooded by clips analyzing body language and timing. At the industry level, Bad Bunny's commercial impact is still dominating global lists. Bloomberg Línea reports that The Hollywood Reporter just named his Zara campaign one of the standout celebrity marketing collaborations of 2026, placing him alongside names like Selena Gomez and MrBeast as part of a short list of the year's most effective brand faces. That nod underscores how his influence now stretches beyond music into fashion and advertising, reinforcing the image listeners see onstage with a polished, high‑fashion identity. Chart watchers are seeing that the live buzz matches the numbers. A new Billboard Latin Instagram reel reveals the Hot Latin Songs Top 10 for the week of June 27, 2026, highlighting that Bad Bunny's “DTMF” has now spent 65 weeks at number one. That kind of run is extremely rare, and the clip frames it as another sign that even while he's deep in a world tour, his streaming and radio dominance simply isn't letting up. European ticket platforms like Ticombo show that the DeBí Tirar Más Fotos World Tour is still rolling: Bad Bunny is scheduled through late July in venues such as GelreDome in Arnhem, keeping the focus on major stadiums and reinforcing that this is a truly global stadium tour, not just a regional run. Social clips from Spain and Germany emphasize the same themes: heavy production, immersive “la casita” staging, and a set list that feels like both a victory lap and a bridge to whatever new era those exclusive songs might be hinting at. Thanks for tuning in and keeping up with what's happening around Bad Bunny. Come back next week for more. This has been a Quiet Please production, and for me check out Quiet Please Dot A I.

¡Hola a todos los amantes del vinilo! Hoy vamos a hablar de “Long Live to Rock'n' Roll”, el tercer disco de estudio de Rainbow, aunque en realidad es su cuarto álbum. Antes de este, sacaron el directo “On Stage”, que si aún no lo habéis escuchado, ¡corre que se acaba el mundo! Rainbow, para los que no los conozcáis, fue una banda fundamental en la historia del rock. Muchas de las bandas de la New Wave of British Heavy Metal, como Iron Maiden, Diamond Head, Saxon o Judas Priest, se inspiraron en ellos. Podríamos decir que Rainbow es como un puente entre Deep Purple y Led Zeppelin con el NWBHM. Y ahora, ¡vamos a por este “Long Live Rock'n'Roll”! Grabado en 1977 en un castillo convertido en estudio en Francia y publicado en 1978 bajo el sello Polydor, este disco llevó a Rainbow al Top 10 británico, convirtiéndose en uno de los discos clave del heavy metal de finales de los 70. Aunque creemos que Rainbow no necesita muchas presentaciones entre vosotros, antes de empezar con el podcast, os hacemos un resumen rapidito de su historia desde sus inicios hasta la grabación de este disco que os traemos hoy. Rainbow nació en 1975, cuando Ritchie Blackmore decidió dejar Deep Purple en pleno éxito. Buscaba algo diferente: alejarse del sonido más clásico de la banda y explorar una música más personal, más cercana a la fantasía y a sus influencias clásicas. Para ello, se rodeó de los músicos de Elf, entre ellos un cantante prácticamente desconocido en ese momento: Ronnie James Dio. Blackmore no descubrió a Elf por casualidad… los tuvo delante durante meses, como teloneros de Deep Purple. Cada noche veía a Ronnie James Dio subir al escenario… y poco a poco se dio cuenta de que ahí había algo especial. Algo que no encajaba en Deep Purple… pero sí en lo que él tenía en mente. Escucha este episodio donde contamos cómo tuvimos la ocasión de verlos en Barcelona. No olvidéis suscribiros a nuestra web vinilosbarbarella.com para no perderos ninguna novedad. ¡Salud y Vinilos!

Episode #538: The fifth episode in our five-part series features conversations recorded at the 16th International Burma Studies Conference at Northern Illinois University, where scholars, students, researchers, and practitioners gathered under the theme Dealing with Legacies in Burma. Held in the midst of political upheaval and humanitarian crisis, the conference offered a rare space for open exchange, collective reflection, and connection. Insight Myanmar was welcomed into this setting to record dialogues with a diverse range of attendees, produced in collaboration with NIU's Center for Southeast Asian Studies. With these episodes, we hope to bring listeners into the atmosphere of the gathering and into conversation with the people who continue to shape the field today. Khaing Wai Wai Zaw taught English in Myanmar for eight years, and went to Northern Illinois University for a higher degree in her field. But she also became a research assistant there cataloging artifacts, in particular 228 rare, scared sasi jo ribbons. While having no qualifications in this area, she relied on her Buddhist literacy and background to interpret inscriptions, andensure they have a safe home at the NIU library, at least until her country regains its stability. She also reflects on the political crisis in Myanmar and wrestles with the role monks should play, balancing her own reluctance to criticize with her belief in social responsibility. “I'm a totally different person when I get on stage.” With this feeling, Karen dancer and community leader Hsa Win reflects on how dance preserves his identity. He grew up in a refugee camp in Thailand after his family fled Burma, and later moved to the U.S. Wanting to educate others about his Karen heritage, he began performing traditional dances at community events. Hedescribes competitions, bamboo dances, and the spiritual dances of the thirty-seven nat spirits. Onstage, he feels confident and transformed, adopting the personalities of the spirits he portrays, and American audiences are enthusiastic. He now lives in Ohio, where he teaches dance to Karen youth to help them “embrace their identity” and keep their culture alive. Researcher and artist Ni Ni Win describes how Burmese marionettes have become a powerful link to her identity now that she lives in America. She explains that puppetry developed to portray particularly sacred Jataka Tales that humans were not permitted to depict. Under royal patronage, puppet shows became very popular; the marionettes conveyed religious teachings, history, and even political concerns, since civilians sometimes asked puppeteers to voice criticisms through the puppets. This art form declined when the monarchy was dismantled by the British, and then as other forms of entertainment became increasingly popular. Amy also draws inspiration from pagoda engravings, known as gnot patterns, which are used on traditional Burmese textiles as well. Living abroad has increased her appreciation for these traditions, which help her stay connected to her homeland.

Inside "Idling High" with Artist Jake Cassman Jake Cassman refuses to make false choices. He crafts sharp, thought-provoking lyrics rooted in the Americana tradition without losing the drive and edge of indie rock. Onstage, he moves effortlessly between dark, gut-busting humor and disarming vulnerability. Shaped both by California dreams and east coast grit, Cassman arrives with his remarkable debut solo album Idling High—a record that channels “a sound that feels both urgent and timeless, recalling Tom Petty, Counting Crows, and Jason Isbell” (Rock The Pigeon).Tags:podcast for creatives,creative podcast,podcast creator interviews,professional podcast,creative podcasts,podcast host interviews,creative podcast ideas,ArtistComedianMusicMusicianLinks:https://www.jakecassman.com/musicSupport PEG by checking out our Sponsors:Download and use Newsly for free now from www.newsly.me or from the link in the description, and use promo code “GHOST” and receive a 1-month free premium subscription.The best tool for getting podcast guests:https://podmatch.com/signup/phantomelectricghostSubscribe to our Instagram for exclusive content:https://www.instagram.com/expansive_sound_experiments/Subscribe to our YouTube https://youtube.com/@phantomelectricghost?si=rEyT56WQvDsAoRprRSShttps://anchor.fm/s/3b31908/podcast/rssSubstackhttps://substack.com/@phantomelectricghost?utm_source=edit-profile-page

Justin is joined in this episode by Helene de Roux, writer and director of "Welcoming Grace," a new short film made to promote ZEISS's Aatma camera lenses, but featuring a narrative built around two Elvis fans meeting for the first time in real life and forming a bond despite many differences and minor obstacles. Helene is a fellow listener and patron of TCBCast, you'll have heard her words before on the show as she's written in a few times, but now you'll get to hear her voice as they geek out about Elvis and filmmaking.

Send us Fan MailYou pull into the driveway after a full day. Patients, staff, meetings, inbox, all of it. You open the door and immediately there are more people who need something from you. And you have nothing left.If you have ever sat in your car in the driveway just a little longer than you needed to, you are not broken. You are not someone who doesn't love the people waiting for you inside. You are someone who has been on stage all day with no time off stage. And today we are going to fix that.What we cover in this episode:On Stage vs. Off Stage: What It Actually MeansOn stage is any time your energy is going outward. You are performing in some kind of role, whether that is physician, leader, parent, partner, or PTA secretary. It includes clinic, charting, inbox, staff interactions, and yes, family time counts too if you are managing emotions and playing a role.Off stage is genuine time where there is no performance element. You are just a human being allowed to exist. A solo walk, reading for pleasure, crafting, time with friends who know all your secrets and expect nothing from you. It is not scrolling social media while you tell yourself you are resting. It is actual restoration.The Gray ZoneSome time feels like it should be off stage but is actually draining you. Social media is the big one. If you are reaching for your phone out of habit and putting it down feeling worse, that is gray zone time, not off stage time. We have to be honest about this or the audit will not work.Introversion, Extroversion, and What You Actually NeedThis is a spectrum, not a binary. More introverted physicians need quiet solo time to recharge. More extroverted physicians might actually need more time with people they genuinely choose, not just the people at work. Neither is better. Both require intention. And where you fall on that spectrum can shift depending on stress, illness, life season, and what you are carrying right now.The AuditThis is a doing episode. Here is what we are walking through together:Step 1: Map one to two weeks of your actual schedule. One week if your schedule is fixed. Two or more if you are a hospitalist, nocturnist, or work variable hours. Include work time AND home time. Both matter.Step 2: Label everything. On stage, off stage, or gray zone. Be honest. Family time that feels like a performance goes in the on stage column even if you love your family deeply.Step 3: Look at the ratio. Where is your off stage time? Is there any? How does that balance feel?Step 4: Reflect. Does this match what you actually need given where you are on the introversion/extroversion spectrum? What would need to shift, even just slightly, to give you more of what you need?Making Changes Without Flipping the TableSmall shifts create sustainable change. Before you decide you need to leave medicine, consider whether you have actually had any off stage time lately. Not as a reason to stay if you truly need to go, but because we do not make our best decisions from a completely depleted state. Protect one or two off stage blocks per week.

Rosamund Pike! What a woman. Famed for her portrayals of razor-sharp, morally complex and deliciously unpredictable characters, she brings that same intriguing duality to this conversation. Thoughtful and quietly rebellious, she reflects on a career that has defied neat narratives from the very beginning. After taking a year out from studying English at University of Oxford to pursue acting, she graduated and stepped straight into the global spotlight as Bond girl Miranda Frost in Die Another Day. From there came a string of unforgettable movies: Pride & Prejudice, Jack Reacher, A Private War and Saltburn. Her chilling performance in Gone Girl earned her an Oscar nomination and she took home a Golden Globe for I Care a Lot. In 2025, she returned to the stage for the first time in 15 years in the National Theatre's production of Inter Alia. In this episode, she talks about her ‘failure' to get married, the realities of raising two sons and her decision not to read a single review of her work for the past 25 years. Plus why she's ‘constantly in battle' with her own fear, her failure to be an action movie hero, her miserable attempt to cook a rabbit and whether or not she's ‘cool'. ✨ IN THIS EPISODE: 00:00 Intro 03:18 No reviews rule 06:57 Early perfectionism and stage craft 07:58 Inter Alia and modern womanhood 10:09 Luminate meditation mask 12:42 Failure to learn Chinese 19:09 Onstage mishaps and acting roles 28:59 What Cool Really Means 29:26 Cool Girl vs Amy 32:21 Failing at Being An Action Star 36:52 Failure to Get Married 45:17 Mothering Two Boys 47:28 Smells and Teen Hygiene 48:44 Rabbit Dinner and Being Enough

What happens when one of the most disciplined bodies in the world can't do the one thing everyone assumes it should? On this episode -- one of our most downloaded of all time -- Ali sits down with Mathilde Froustey, principal dancer at the San Francisco Ballet and widely considered one of the most extraordinary dancers in the world.Born in Bordeaux, France, Mathilde began dancing at just nine years old, training at the prestigious Marseille National School of Ballet and the Paris Opera Ballet School before rising to the top of the international ballet world. Onstage, her body is her instrument — powerful, precise, and seemingly unstoppable. But behind the curtain, Mathilde has been fighting battles that almost no one in the dance world talks about. In this candid and emotional conversation, she opens up for the first time about her experience with infertility — a subject she says remains deeply taboo in professional dance. Mathilde shares what it was like to go through IVF while performing at the highest level, navigating intense body scrutiny, and hearing painful comments about her appearance during one of the most vulnerable periods of her life. She also talks about her past struggle with an eating disorder, the pressure dancers face to maintain a certain body type, and the silent toll of trying to build a family inside a culture that rarely makes space for it.“In the dance world, infertility is a taboo subject,” Mathilde says.Not anymore.This is a powerful conversation about perfection, pressure, and what it means to reclaim your body — both onstage and off.EPISODE SPONSORS: THE WORK OF ART BOOK SERIESAli's Children's Book Series about IVF, IUI and Family Building Through Assisted Reproductive Technology https://www.infertileafgroup.com/booksThe 3-book bundle is now just $49 (normally $79)!The latest book in the Work of ART series, “You Are a Work of ART," is for every kiddo born through ART -- and the people who love them.PHERDALIG: @pherdal_sciencePherDal is the world's first and only FDA-cleared, sterile, at-home insemination kit designed to help people build their families in the comfort of home.

Cat & Cloud Podcast  Cat & Cloud Coffee www.catandcloud.com/ On-Stage, Off-Stage: Why Owners Stand in Line (And Other Hospitality Go's & No-Go's) – Ep #439 Summary In this episode, Jared, Chris, and Casey riff on authenticity and then dig into hospitality as “on-stage vs off-stage” work—treating a café like a live performance where everything guests see, hear, and feel (cleanliness, order, smell, noise, staff energy) shapes the experience before they even taste the coffee. They unpack “clubhousing” as a major no-go—when staff get lost in their own conversations or tasks and fail to include guests—and argue that the goal isn't robotic service but a shared framework that helps people be more present and human. A key leadership practice is cafe/restaurant owners standing in line and experiencing the business like a guest to spot friction and keep perspective. Chris closes with his biggest hospitality deal-breakers: letting the register conversation drag while a line builds, ignoring “hovering” guests who need help, and creating perceived unavailability—because being seen and acknowledged is often the difference between a tense room and a great one.
