In the heart of the Riverwest neighborhood is a weekly showcase of some of Milwaukee's most talented voices.Linneman's Acoustic Open Stage began in 1993, making it the city's oldest open mic and a staple of the local music scene.“Linneman's is an institution, and it's meant a lot to tons and tons of people,” said Chris Porterfield, frontman for Milwaukee-based band Field Report and an alum of the open mic. “It's a really special place. And what Jim and Marty have built is a great gift and service to our city.”Jim Linneman and Marty Hacker are longtime partners in life and nightlife. The venue's namesake rarely misses an installment of the Acoustic Open Stage, and he was there the night we were on hand to experience the energy of a community built on a shared love for music.“Each and every Wednesday we have a featured performer who gets a half hour,” Linneman explained from the stage as he introduced Ethan Munson, the night's spotlight artist. “And to be the feature here, you have to come in and take part in our Open Stage and show a love for music and the desire anyway to write your own songs.”In this episode, we take you inside a typical Wednesday night at Linneman's — a space for seasoned performers to connect with newcomers; and an eclectic mix of people, songs and instruments, ranging from banjos and guitars to keyboards and even a kazoo.#####Guest host: Rachel TarbyUniquely Milwaukee is made possible by the support of our Radio Milwaukee members.

Le reportage culture nous emmène dans les soirées « Open Mic », micro ouvert en français, où se détectent les nouveaux talents de la scène rap et R'n'B française. Bolon Sylla, jeune Sénégalais vivant en France, a lancé l'initiative « Talent Kaché ». Son objectif : mettre en lumière celles et ceux qui débutent.  L'ambiance rappelle celle des battles de rap : DJ, lumière minimaliste et capuches de rigueur. À ceci près qu'il ne s'agit pas d'une compétition, mais d'une restitution, celle des huit sélectionnés de la saison 3 de Talent Kaché, ou TLK pour les intimes. Une initiative de détection d'artistes lancée sur les réseaux sociaux. « Notre connexion s'est faite sur Instagram, explique Uzibinski, et on s'est vu et l'alchimie est bien passée. Du coup, on a tourné directement avec TLK. » « En fait, ils présentaient un "open mic" dans un "event", raconte Realness, j'ai été très intéressée et c'est comme ça qu'ils m'ont recrutée, pour me proposer de faire partie de la saison 3. » Ces deux chanteurs ont eu droit, comme les huit autres sélectionnés, à l'enregistrement d'un clip suivi d'une performance scénique au Doc, lieu culturel du 19ᵉ arrondissement de Paris.  « On m'a tendu la main et je fais pareil » Talent Kaché en est à sa troisième édition. Son promoteur, le Sénégalais Bolon Sylla, est arrivé en France en 2018. Il a connu les pires galères des jeunes migrants avant de trouver aide et assistance. « Je pense que c'est mon parcours qui m'a permis de faire cela, confie-t-il. Parce que moi aussi, on m'a beaucoup aidé en fait. Et je me suis dit : pourquoi ne pas partager ça avec les gens qui sont courageux et qui ont du talent ? On m'a tendu la main et je fais pareil. » La soirée de restitution se veut un tremplin pour des débutants souvent éloignés des projecteurs et des grands médias. Elise Allasia commence tout juste à percer. « J'ai quelques singles qui sont sortis sur les plateformes et j'ai aussi un EP en préparation. En attendant, je fais pas mal de scènes, j'ai fait beaucoup de premières parties. La première partie de Kimberose, liste la jeune chanteuse, Cerrone, Michel Fugain aussi, c'est assez éclectique... Et là, fin février, je fais la première partie de Ben l'Oncle Soul. » Pour Jiaceka ce type d'évènement sert aussi son réseau. « Si tu fais de la musique dans Paris, tu as toujours l'occasion de rencontrer des gens qui font des évènements, qui te proposent des choses, et puis on échange, on essaie d'apprendre les uns des autres, d'évoluer, de se faire connaître aux yeux des autres, d'un autre public. » Bolon Sylla n'est pas peu fier de ses poulains. Et surtout, de partager avec eux un moment de fraternité. «​​​​​​​ ​​​​​​​J'aime bien partager ma joie en fait et c'est ça aussi qui me pousse ».

In this episode, I sit down with singer-songwriter CJ Hooper to talk about building songs—and confidence—as an independent artist without rushing the process. We dig into how moving from Texas to Washington shaped his musical perspective, and why honest, story-driven country music seems to resonate no matter where you live.CJ and I talk about releasing Over Yonder, his second album just a year after his debut, and the surprisingly self-confronting experience of hearing your own voice back in the studio. We also get into early cassette-tape influences, playing in a band with musicians decades older than him, cutting his teeth at open mics, and slowly figuring out how his original songs want to live in the world. It's a conversation about patience, craft, and letting the work grow naturally—one song at a time.Music from the Episode:Burn it Down (CJ Hooper)Lookie Over Yonder (CJ Hooper)Rain Song (CJ Hooper)Thank you for listening.

We talk about the “Bluey” method of parenting, the viral “what would your child pack in a suitcase?” trend, postpartum bliss, and what it really looks like to balance it all as a working mom.This episode feels like sitting across the table from a friend who just gets it. It's full of laughter, recognition, and the comforting reminder that none of us are doing this alone.Support Velencia and Victor! 2 Define Promotions:https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61575521817562twodefinepromotions.comVC Total Custom Solutions:https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61580336070561vctcs.com

Hour 1

I just watched a documentary on Alexander the Great and tried to do what I always do — turn world domination into punchlines. From conquering Persia before age 30 to having the confidence of a guy who's never bombed on stage, Alexander might be the original “main character energy.”In this episode of Reality is Optional, I break down the wildest moments from the documentary and try to find the comedy in ancient warfare, ego, legacy, and what happens when you think you're unstoppable.We've got:Alexander tutored by Aristotle; conquering most of the known world before 32; elite military strategy and questionable emotional decisions; what happens when your army is tired but you're still chasing glory; and why every comic secretly thinks they're Alexander at an open mic.History meets stand-up. Empires fall. Jokes rise.#AlexanderTheGreat#HistoryComedy#DocumentaryCommentary#AncientHistory#StandUpPodcast

Caras nuevas se juntan con los veteranos.

This week's Open Mic guest is Florida Congresswoman Kat Cammack. The 3rd district representative says the proposed $1-billion dollars of Bridge Assistance for specialty crop and sugar farmers is significantly deficient to meet losses suffered by those producers.

She also addresses farm labor concerns and says she is exploring actions related to ingredient transparency.

Complete our 2025 survey: ⁠https://unpacked.bio/uihsurvey⁠ Book for the Jerusalem Marathon "Return, Reconnect, and Run for Resilience" tour: ⁠sababatravel.com⁠ In this Open Mic episode, Noam responds to a listener, Aviva's question: what does it even mean to say “Israel has a right to exist”—and who gets to decide that “right”? Noam argues that the debate is really about Israel's right to exist as a Jewish state. He makes the case that the more urgent conversation is about how Israel exists, not whether it exists. The episode uses the 2025 NYC mayoral debate as a jumping-off point to explore Jewish peoplehood, modern self-determination, and double standards.
