Paul Rees' Raised on Radio: Power Ballads, Cocaine and Payola - the AOR Glory Years 1976-1986 (De Capo, 2026) is a massively entertaining oral biography of the golden era of critically derided yet monumentally popular radio rock, when Journey, Boston, REO Speedwagon, Toto, and more ruled the airwaves Paul Rees' Raised on Radio is, remarkably, the first biography of the (at the time) critically derided and yet massively popular AOR (album-oriented rock) bands whose heyday was 1976-1986, when groups like Journey, Boston, Foreigner, Toto, and REO Speedwagon sold many millions of albums, toured stadiums, and whose songs continue to stream in record numbers. Many of them still tour. And sure, they were punching bags for the elitist rock critics more interested in covering punk and new wave, terminally uncool, and never fashionably cutting edge, but their music was, and is, the soundtrack to so many people's lives. Who among music fans (of a certain age) didn't pump their fist to "Don't Stop Believin'" (long before The Sopranos), play air guitar to "More Than a Feeling," bellow along with Toto's "Africa," or have their heart broken to the strains of "Can't Fight This Feeling"? Even better: their tour stories and the tales of making the music are as entertaining and eye-opening as any of the antics from the annals of rock and roll history. Cocaine use was rampant, intra-band fighting was par for the course, and for better or worse, the groups' members lived life to excess. In so many ways, it was these artists' music (they are responsible for the power ballad) and lifestyles that led directly to the soon-to-follow hair metal scene. And in spite of what the critical establishment wrote, it turns out the music has aged . . . rather well! Raised on Radio is a stadium-sized, massively entertaining oral history in the bestselling tradition of Meet Me in the Bathroom, Nothin' But A Good Time, and Please Kill Me, capturing a time and a place that was as big and booming and as unabashed as the music that provided its soundtrack.

Greg Jenner is joined in 17th-century France by Dr Jonathan Spangler and comedian Tom Allen to learn all about Philippe, Duc d'Orléans, Louis XIV's younger brother. King Louis XIV is one of the most famous monarchs in French history: the man who built and presided over the glittering court at Versailles, established himself as an absolute ruler, and whose 72-year reign is still the longest in European history. But what about his younger brother, Philippe? Who was the man who grew up and lived in the shadow of the Sun King? Raised to defer to his brother at all costs, his promising military career was cut short when it seemed like he might outshine Louis. When all eyes were on him as heir to the throne, he would wear dresses to provoke shock at courtly balls. He balanced his marriage to his witty German wife, Liselotte, with a decades-long relationship with his aristocratic male lover, the Chevalier de Lorraine – and other men of the court. And he maintained an image as a louche and irresponsible courtier while increasing his personal wealth through clever financial management. This episode explores the complexities and contradictions of Philippe's life, and examines the difficult position of second sons in royal history.If you're a fan of royal sibling rivalries, the gossip and glamour of the French court, and queer history, you'll love our episode on Philippe, Duc d'Orléans.If you want more fascinating French royals, listen to our episodes on Catherine de Medici and Marie Antoinette.

We're starting today's show with a discussion on retirement age and would as always, love to hear your thoughts. The issue is back in the news thanks to the Chief Executive of Milford Investments saying New Zealanders will have to work into their 70s if the country wants to afford superannuation. The comments came as part of a wider debate being held at the New Zealand Economic Forum at Waikato University this week. Treasury has previously signaled that it's on track to become unaffordable unless the retirement age rises to around 72. But would any Government be up to changing the official retirement age? To discuss, I'm joined by author of The Kaka substack - Bernard Hickey

Seventeen‑year‑old Thomas Weir, born in Switzerland to a South African dad, is part of the country's largest‑ever Winter Olympics team at Milano Cortina 2026. One of just five athletes and one of two teens, he's racing in slalom and giant slalom, proudly putting South Africa on the winter map. Raised in Swizerland, he turned weekend fun into serious racing and chose to represent his father's homeland to help grow winter‑sports representation. Balancing school with year‑round training, glacier sessions in summer, non‑stop snow in winter, he says carrying the SA flag at the opening ceremony was his biggest moment yet. He keeps his energy up with biltong and keeps the braai spirit alive - even in the snow. His advice to any youngsters nervous about trying something new: just go for it; you never know what passion might kick in.

Robin Dellabough, writer and editor, shares her unconventional journey from growing up in a bohemian Greenwich Village household to spending decades supporting other people's creativity. Raised by beatnik parents who gave her the confidence to try anything, she hitchhiked Europe at 17, lived in a Hawaiian treehouse, worked as a theater stage manager, and ghostwrote books—all while her own creative voice remained underground. Dellabough explains the pattern of talented people who facilitate others' success while neglecting their own work, how she eventually claimed her creative life through poetry and writing, and why direct feedback without sugarcoating serves creative growth better than false encouragement.

Kimmy's story doesn't begin with rebellion. It begins with survival.Raised in a home where instability was the norm and addiction sat at the dinner table, Kimmy was introduced to meth at just ten years old when her own mother injected her. What followed was a childhood shaped by substance use, escalating mental health struggles, and self-harm that started in elementary school and grew alongside the chaos around her.Just as Kimmy was preparing for college, two devastating deaths in her family shifted everything. Grief deepened her addiction, and pain fueled behaviors she didn't yet have tools to heal.In this episode, Kimmy shares the raw reality of growing up in trauma, navigating mental illness, and eventually making the brave move to California in search of treatment for both her mental health and substance use. After moving through multiple treatment centers, she has remained sober since December 24th, 2024, refusing to give up on herself or her healing.This is a story about resilience, relapse risks, recovery, and the ongoing work of choosing life, clarity, and mental wellness every single day.A reminder that sobriety isn't just about putting down substances.It's about picking up hope.

In this episode of Money Tales, our guest is Brad Lichtman. Brad's money story moves through moments many people wrestle with but rarely say out loud. Walking away from a prestigious career path. Hitting financial free fall with young children at home. Starting over when a risk does not work out. What makes Brad's story land is the heart and soul he brings to it. He meets setbacks with humility, people with compassion and each chapter with a steady commitment to help others flourish. Across decades as an educator and leader, he came to believe that money alone does not create wealth. Vision, purpose and accountability are, also, key ingredients. Raised in Palo Alto, California in the middle of the turbulent 1960s and early 1970s, Brad's parents fostered in him the importance of living a life of meaning and purpose. As a young 14-year-old political activist who spent the following four summers walking disadvantaged neighborhoods to register voters, Brad felt willing to take risks to improve the lives of others. Ten years later he found himself in law school after graduating from UCSD (and honored by delivering the commencement address). He was preparing for a future in politics when he became disenchanted with that direction and found himself teaching history and coaching sports at a private high school in San Diego. Surprisingly, he found his niche and gifts as a teacher and later a principal of two large public high schools, “retiring” twelve years ago as an Assistant Superintendent (HR) of a midsized, unified school district in San Diego County. During that journey, he had the opportunity to help build and begin a brand-new high school, which received a rare highest award for a new school from the State of California. As principal, he led a staff of nearly two hundred employees and oversaw a $15 million budget. As one of three leaders of the district, he oversaw seventeen principals, many directors, 2,500 employees and a $150 million budget. Through trial and error, successes and failures, he learned that people flourish when organizations place a primacy on two core values equally: A challenging environment that simultaneously cares for each member with dignity and support. Along the way, he gained significant experience in coaching leaders and helping to build high quality teams where everyone has the best opportunity to thrive. He has continued coaching leaders about organizational culture throughout his retirement and enjoys seeing people's lives changed in the process. While working alongside world-renowned business leader, Ken Blanchard, on a two-year project, Ken once told Brad that he was one of the two best leaders he'd ever worked with. While Brad and Diane, his wife of forty years, should not be considered as having high wealth, they have benefited from having been with their current Aspiriant advisors for nearly eighteen years, who treat them as family, frequently referring to them as being “the poster children for retirement.” Brad still lives out the focus of his very early formative years: That we should all seek to live a life of meaning and purpose. Those values continue to guide how they see their money and wealth, as means for living fruitful lives while always seeking to improve the lives of those around them. And Brad sees Aspiriant as a perfect match to his vision. Purpose, People and Impact Brad Lichtman's life illustrates how meaning, resilience and values can shape not just a career but an enduring way of being in the world. From walking the streets to register voters at 14, to teaching students others had written off, to leading large, diverse public schools through moments of crisis and possibility, Brad has consistently used his talents in service of others. His story is a reminder that money is not the goal it is a tool that becomes powerful when guided by clear values, deep relationships and a commitment to helping others flourish. What makes Brad's journey so compelling is how he integrates purpose with practicality through careful budgeting, thoughtful planning and disciplined stewardship in support of a larger vision for life. If you're thinking about how to align your wealth with your values whether that's planning for education, navigating career transitions, preparing for retirement or creating impact through mentorship and giving an Aspiriant advisor can help you clarify your vision and build a plan that supports it. They can work with you to connect your financial decisions to what matters most so your money becomes a means to live out your values with confidence and intention. Follow Money Tales on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or YouTube Music for more real stories about money, meaning and how people use their wealth to shape a life of purpose.

Former California attorney general and U.S. health secretary Xavier Becerra says this is a “break-glass moment” for state residents who are struggling economically. That's why, he says, he's making economic opportunity the centerpiece of his campaign to succeed Gavin Newsom in the governor's office.  Raised in Sacramento by immigrant parents—his father worked in construction, his mother was a clerical worker—Becerra was the first in his family to earn a college degree. He attended Stanford for both undergraduate and law school, thanks in part to opportunities he says were once more widely available in California.  If elected, Becerra says he would be the “health-care governor,” an issue he has emphasized throughout his career, from his 24 years in Congress to his time in the Biden administration. He also points to his track record as attorney general standing up to the Trump administration on issues such as immigration and the environment.  Becerra joins Commonwealth Club World Affairs as part of our "Race for Governor 2026" series of candidate forums. Come meet the candidate, hear his vision for California, and ask your questions before you cast your vote for California's next governor. Learn more about your ad choices.

On this episode of The MisFitNation, host Rich LaMonica welcomes US Army veteran, author, and independent publisher Ken Dupar for a raw, funny, and deeply human conversation about survival, service, creativity, and meaning. Raised in Milwaukee and shaped by the University of Wisconsin before joining the U.S. Army, Ken found belonging, structure, and purpose in uniform. After the post–Persian Gulf War downsizing, life didn't follow a clean exit plan. What followed was a winding civilian path, multiple deployments, leadership under pressure, and a series of life-altering moments—including heart failure during his time as a company commander. Writing became therapy. Humor became survival. And storytelling became the way Ken processed pain, loneliness, love, suffering, and resilience. Today, as an independent author and publisher living in East Tennessee, Ken continues pushing the creative boulder uphill—not because it's easy, but because it's worth it. This episode explores military transition, identity loss, creative rebirth, leadership, suffering, and what it really means to keep running the race at 57.

Some artists find a sound or a look. Others find the truth. Bif Naked found both. In this moving episode of Chatter that Matters, I sit down with the iconic Juno Award-winning artist and activist Bif Naked to unpack "I am who I am." Born in New Delhi. Adopted. Raised across oceans, finding love in words and music. At 21, Bif met her birth mother, a moment that brought her story full circle. But identity is not formed only in comfort. At 36, Bif was diagnosed with breast cancer. Two years later, she suffered a stroke. Those chapters did not silence her. They fed her poetry and clarified what mattered. I loved every second of my time with Bif Naked. We discuss punk, poetry, feminism, and the discipline behind her philosophy: "save the rage for the stage." There is wisdom in that line. Choose where your energy goes. Do not let the noise of the world steal your voice. Channel it. Own it. If you have ever felt different, silenced or enraged. If you have ever had to rebuild or renew. If you believe identity is something you own, not something assigned. This conversation is for you.  (And her music and passion roars throughout)

It's Witness Wednesday! Todd heads back to campus at Georgia Tech to discuss faith, morality, and Jesus himself with several real-life students. Whatever the topic, whoever the student, the question stays the same: is Jesus who He says He is - and if so, what does that mean for you? Segment 1 • Orrin says he's a Christian—but when pressed on truth, postmodernism, and being “born again,” does his faith rest on feelings or repentance and faith? • Todd forces the question most avoid: If Hinduism says one thing and Christianity another—can both be right? • Todd brings Orrin to consider whether or not he has truly been born again. Segment 2 • An aerospace engineer rejects institutional religion—but admits belief in rules, order, and possibly a “rule-maker.” • Todd walks him through conscience, justice, and the courtroom of God—are you really “good” by your own standard? • Christianity's radical claim: You don't go to hell for lack of faith—you go because of sin. Segment 3 • A self-professed Christian says Jesus is the “tipping point”—but can he clearly articulate the gospel when challenged? • Todd pushes him: Is Islam wrong? Is Hinduism wrong? • The reason for anyone going to heaven is made clear: not our good deeds, not what we've done - but what Christ has done for us. Segment 4 • Our final student of the day is pressed on whether the order around us necessitates a designer. • Todd drills into conscience: lying, lust, blasphemy—how would a just God and judge treat lawbreaking? • The offer laid bare: Your fine has been paid. Will you repent—or trust your own goodness instead? ___ Thanks for listening! Wretched Radio would not be possible without the financial support of our Gospel Partners.

Romans 6:1-11 – Raised with Christ

He arrived in America at 14 with a suitcase… and zero English.Raised in communist Poland with very little, Peter Kolat learned early what it meant to be underestimated.What followed wasn't luck — it was transformation.In this episode of Shut Up and GRIND, Robert B. Foster sits down with Peter — 2x Transformational Coach of the Year, author of Authentic Self Rebirth, creator of the 7 Human Drives Framework, and coach to thousands of entrepreneurs and high performers — to unpack the journey from survival to soul-level success.Peter opens up about the divorce that shattered him in 2011 — emotionally, spiritually, physically — and the “optimistic depression” that forced him to confront the truth: personal development isn't transformational if you never address identity.Now, through his 7 Human Drives Framework, Peter helps high achievers break unconscious patterns, reconnect with their authentic self, and build businesses that support their lives — not consume them.This episode isn't hype.It's depth, faith, identity, and real transformation.

We are just a few days from Valentines day.  For me that is when I want most of my seeds started for spring set out.  I use that date as a cut off because I tend to set my plants out starting about March 15th.  This is also the time of year when my inbox starts to heat up with questions about the coming garden season and one topic always exceeds all others.  No not which variety of tomato to plant, not which fertility aid to use or what to use for mulch.  No the number one question is always … Continue reading →

According to the unsealed affidavit, witnesses told investigators Michael McKee strangled Monique Tepe during their marriage, forced unwanted sex on her, and told her he could end her life whenever he wanted. She divorced him in 2017 after seven months. No police report. No protective order. She told friends and family she was afraid—then got up every morning and lived her life. Fell in love again. Married Spencer. Raised two children.Strangulation is one of the most significant predictors of future lethality in domestic violence research. If McKee did what witnesses allege, Monique was in extreme danger from the moment she left. Rob Misleh said publicly the family didn't fully understand the threats were real until it was too late.Psychotherapist Shavaun Scott has spent thirty years working with survivors of intimate partner violence. She's also a survivor—her ex-husband died by revenge suicide after she asked for divorce. She explains why there's so often a gap between what victims communicate and what the people who love them hear. What does eight years of constant threat assessment do psychologically?Then there's the defendant's response. The state has surveillance footage, ballistics, a cell phone that went dark, years of documented threats. McKee pleaded not guilty. Waived bail but reserved the right to revisit—chess move, not surrender. Scott analyzes defendants who treat courtrooms like arenas. Ted Bundy cross-examined witnesses. Scott Peterson watched like a spectator. Chris Watts tried to con homicide detectives.McKee is a surgeon who completed over a decade of elite medical training. Does that professional background feed the compartmentalization we see in courtroom detachment? The theory: the detachment that lets someone sit calmly facing murder charges is the same detachment that allegedly let them pull the trigger.

Most people see parking as a necessary evil—a frustrating obstacle between you and wherever you're going. Grant Murray saw an opportunity to turn it into something cities, businesses, and consumers all benefit from.In this episode, Grant joins us to share how he built Proximity Parking, a platform that transforms parking payments into an economic development tool by connecting drivers with nearby local businesses at the exact moment they're parking.Grant traces his path from UK accounting student to Connetic Ventures intern to founder, explaining how he raised $1.5 million from Connetic, KeyHorse Capital, and strategic angels to build a product he's now rolling out across Kentucky. We dig into how he validated the idea by talking to businesses before writing a line of code, why governments are harder (but not impossible) to sell to, and how being based at Covington's SparkHaus helped him land his first city customers. With Lexington, Covington, and soon Newport live—and Louisville and Cincinnati in his sights—Grant makes the case for why staying in Kentucky has been a competitive advantage, not a compromise.Hosted by Logan JonesMiddle Tech is proudly supported by: KY Innovation → kyinnovation.com Awesome Inc → awesomeinc.org

In this episode, Steve Fretzin and Tom Conner discuss:Treating note-taking as professional insuranceUsing discomfort to set daily prioritiesChoosing relationships as the foundation of business developmentLetting character determine long-term success Key Takeaways:Relying on memory is a gamble, especially when ideas, tasks, and details arrive constantly. Writing everything down ensures nothing important slips through the cracks. The tool matters less than the habit of capturing thoughts before they disappear.Starting with the task you least want to do lowers anxiety for the rest of the day. Avoidance only prolongs stress, whether with paperwork or difficult phone calls. Momentum is built by confronting discomfort early, not managing it away.Referrals grow out of trust earned through service, generosity, and long-term presence. Bar involvement and community leadership create credibility that no marketing tactic can replace. Strong reputations are built quietly and often pay dividends years later.Integrity functions as a filter for clients, colleagues, and career decisions. Fairness and honesty build trust even with opponents and judges. The same clarity guides how to retire, whom to trust, and how to leave a legacy. "Your reputation is everything, and it's hard to build, and it's easy to destroy." — Tom Conner Check out my new show, Be That Lawyer Coaches Corner, and get the strategies I use with my clients to win more business and love your career again. Ready to go from good to GOAT in your legal marketing game?

Send a textWhat does it really take to go from surviving your life to intentionally designing it?In this powerful episode of The Good Enough Mompreneur Podcast, I sit down with Sun Yong Kim-Manzolini, CEO of Lush Enterprises, to explore resilience, mindset, financial freedom, and what's possible when you decide that “good enough” no longer means settling.Sun Yong's story is nothing short of remarkable. Raised in orphanages in South Korea, later adopted as a teenager, and eventually becoming a single mother working a $35,000-a-year job, she found herself exhausted, financially stuck, and craving a different life. With no savings and no safety net, Sun Yong made a bold decision—to retire early and learn options trading.That decision changed everything.Today, Sun Yong helps others—especially single mothers—create financial security and flexibility through her M.I.R.A.C.L.E. system, empowering them to spend less time working and more time living.But this episode goes far beyond money.This conversation is about:Learning to trust yourself againTaking action even when fear is loudRewriting the beliefs you inherited from your pastAnd giving yourself permission to want moreIf you're a mompreneur who feels overwhelmed, stretched thin, or quietly wondering if there's another way—this episode is for you.

ComixLaunch hits episode 550, and instead of glossing over the milestone, Tyler leans all the way in. Fresh off wrapping EPIC #1–5 and pushing ComixTribe past $1.5+ million raised on Kickstarter milestone, this episode looks back on the road from 2012 to now—and the hard-earned revelations that only show up after dozens of launches, wins, stumbles, and resets. If you've been listening from the beginning, some of this will sound familiar, but with new layers, sharper clarity, and lessons relearned the hard way. This is a value-packed reflection on initiative, systems, collectibles, relaunches, people, and why finishing things still matters more than brilliant ideas.

Our current Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard was born into The Science of Identity Foundation, a secretive, authoritarian religious group led by guru Chris Butler. What are the beliefs of The SIF and how did they influence Gabbard's political career? Some believe that she's still under their direction, if not outright control. If so, the international criminal investigations of the organization, along with the local Hawaiian suspicions of it, raises serious national security questions for someone in that role. Then why does it appear that even a standard FBI background check of Gabbard was skipped? The reporting on Gabbard's origins had been sparse... until now.

Bríet Ísis Elfar is not just one of Iceland's biggest music stars. She's an artist who embodies fearlessness, authenticity, and constant reinvention. Her breakout English-language single In Too Deep in 2018 introduced her sultry, soulful voice to the world, but it was her 2020 album Kveðja, Bríet that catapulted her to national stardom. She won “Album of the Year” and cemented herself as one of the country's most influential female musicians. Big Conversations in the Coziest Setting with Center Hotels This interview is part of my In Bed With series, created in partnership with Center Hotels. Each conversation is recorded right in a bed at one of Center Hotels' nine locations in downtown Reykjavík—keeping things cozy, relaxed, and a little unconventional. If you're planning a stay in the city, you can use my code ATI25 to save 25% off at any Center Hotels location in Reykjavík. Bríet’s Artistic & Spiritual Upbringing Born in Reykjavík in 1999, Bríet grew up in a uniquely creative and spiritual household. Her father, Benedikt Elfar, taught her guitar and nurtured her love of jazz, while her mother, Ásrún Laila Awad, led sweat-lodge ceremonies infused with mantra chanting and deep emotional connection. Raised in this world of music, ritual, and radical openness, Bríet developed both resilience and a powerful sense of self. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zFeYJr4JdIk From Jazz Bars to Center Stage From singing jazz in Reykjavík restaurants for a hamburger and 5,000 krónur, to debuting her original work on the stage of Sónar Reykjavík, Bríet's journey has been anything but ordinary. She's unapologetically experimental, whether making plastic “glass” dresses with her longtime fashion collaborator, diving into collaborative projects like 1000 orð with rapper Birnir, or writing songs that transform heartbreak into catharsis. Bríet’s Radical Honesty as a Creative Force Known for her raw honesty, she has openly shared struggles with belonging, heartbreak, and personal growth. Yet through it all, her guiding philosophy remains simple: don't take life too seriously, embrace failure, and always follow the intuition of the heart. At a Turning Point, Always Becoming Today, Bríet stands at a new turning point—after years of acclaim, collaborations with major Icelandic artists like Ásgeir Trausti and Friðrik Dór, and millions of streams worldwide, she continues to chase the unknown. Whether sitting next to global icons in Tokyo or returning to her roots in a sweat lodge in Iceland, Bríet carries a rare ability to turn both joy and pain into beauty.

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! PART TWOFor Christina Westervelt, the paranormal was never something distant or abstract—it was part of family life. Growing up with a father who loved ghost stories and paranormal exploration, curiosity came naturally. What began as lighthearted outings and shared fascination slowly evolved into something deeper as Christina got older.As she moved from casual interest into serious paranormal investigation, Christina found herself chasing the same questions many investigators face: who is still here, why they remain, and what connects the living to the dead. Along the way, the experiences became more complex—and the answers less clear.In this episode of The Grave Talks, Christina shares her journey from childhood curiosity to a lifelong pursuit of the unexplained, and how following the paranormal path ultimately left her with more questions than certainty.#TheGraveTalks #ParanormalPodcast #GhostStories #ParanormalInvestigation #LifeAfterDeath #SupernaturalExperiences #HauntedPlaces #SeekingAnswersLove real ghost stories?
