Nel 1980 i Black Sabbath fanno quello che sembrava impensabile: continuare senza Ozzy Osbourne. Ma lo fanno nel modo più teatrale e potente possibile, chiamando Ronnie James Dio, ex Rainbow, e sfornando Heaven & Hell, Mob Rules, Dehumanizer e – anni dopo – The Devil You Know. Un nuovo inizio fatto di metallo fuso, epica fantasy, e riff granitici. In questa puntata di Infedeli alla linea esploriamo la trilogia (più uno) della seconda era Sabbath: meno droga e paranoia, più draghi, incubi industriali e redenzioni infernali. CHI SIAMO Infedeli alla Linea è il podcast che mette sotto i riflettori artisti leggendari e band di culto, ma con uno sguardo diverso: quei dischi che osano, che dividono e che ci fanno chiedere se siano puro genio, disorientamento totale o solo una moda passeggera. Scopri la musica da una prospettiva unica insieme a Vikk (ideatore del sito http://www.orrorea33giri.com/), Beatrice ed Emanuele. Tra curiosità, ricordi personali e discussioni sorprendenti, ogni episodio è un viaggio tra suoni e storie indimenticabili.

Tired of her blindness being seen as tragedy, Toronto theatre maker Devon Healey designed an immersive stage show to take audiences into her experience. The production, “Rainbow on Mars,” is based on her own journey into blindness at age 21, and it features a cast of performers with varying levels of vision. Devon sits down with guest host Garvia Bailey to talk about reframing blindness as an invitation to relate to each other more intimately, and to become more comfortable with uncertainty and exploration.

Microcosmos Records presents a meditative electronic journey, the album Panta Rhei by Jule Grasz. Jule Grasz (Germany) began composing music in early childhood. In the 1990s, she wrote songs while collaborating with various artists. In 2006, she discovered the world of electronic music production, and since 2008, she has been successfully releasing her chillout music on multiple labels, including Microcosmos Records. Panta Rhei in Ancient Greek means "Everything flows". As Jule herself describes, the album is a musical interpretation of the philosophical principle of perpetual change as the foundation of existence: «Everything comes into being, everything is one, everything flows, everything passes away, in an eternal metamorphosis of being.» The tracks radiate optimism and joy. Artfully textured soundscapes evoke an ever-changing eternity of the cosmos, while hypnotic arpeggios guide listeners through intricate sonic corridors like winding staircases. Press play on Panta Rhei and immerse yourself in the unhurried flow of refined chillout music by Jule Grasz and Microcosmos Records.

Listen to this episode for ways to save money while supporting your values! Co-hosts Tania and Adriana share what companies they boycott and why, and which alternative companies have ethical practices they support. Many of the companies on our boycott lists have documented labor rights violations or support governments rooted in white supremacy and oppressive systems. Boycotting large corporations has opened new ways for us to reconnect with our local communities such as through mutual aid. It's also a great excuse to find new small family-owned businesses to support. Boycotting is a great technique that has worked for many movements in the past, and it's a great way to hold companies accountable for their practices.Remember: the companies you choose to support should hold your values for community care and equal rights.Resources:Boycott List by BDS MovementBoycott List by Ethical ConsumerAnti-DEI Boycott ListWhy to boycott Chiquita and DoleWhy to boycott NestleAlternative Brands by Ethical Consumer15 Ethical & Sustainable Brands by Sustainably ChicBuyNothingListen to our previous episode “Activism, But Make It Fashionable” for clothing brands we don't and do supportVictory!

When Nancy Johnson stepped away from her role as CEO of Community Resources Council, she could never have imagined the new chapter God was preparing for her. A season of personal struggle opened the door to an unexpected conversation with Barry Feaker, leading Nancy to Topeka Rescue Mission. What began as casual volunteering soon became a source of deep joy and renewed purpose, as she now spends her days welcoming guests, answering phones, and helping staff create a culture of compassion and belonging.In this episode, Nancy shares with TRM CEO La Manda Cunningham how the Mission's culture—where “ego is left at the front door”—makes room for authentic relationships and lasting impact. From her pioneering work establishing neighborhood resource centers to her current role of daily service, Nancy's story reminds us that significance isn't measured by titles, but by faithful love in action. Listeners will be inspired to consider how their own gifts and experiences can be used to stand in the gap for others.To learn more about TRM, Click Here!To support TRM, Click Here!

DAC ensures that 100% of the funds raised through donations and events go directly to assisting dancers and their families during these challenging times. Through DAC, Noah has formed partnerships with some of the most prominent figures in dance and entertainment, including Derek and Julianne Hough, Paula Abdul, Kenny Ortega, Vanessa Hudgens, and the late Olivia Newton-John.

In 2024, Noah's commitment to giving back took another monumental step with the creation of the KAR Productions Scholarship Foundation. This initiative is dedicated to helping dancers from underprivileged backgrounds pursue their dreams by offering financial support to those who may otherwise be unable to afford the costs associated with dance education and competition.Connect on Social Media:https://www.facebook.com/noah.lands.5https://www.instagram.com/papawizard

Is it a lie… or a survival strategy? Is it deception… or divine timing? Either way, Spirit sees you—and lowkey celebrates you. Rainbow cups, engagement vibes, and a Lil' Kim mic drop? Yes. We. Did. That.
