Live backstage from the historic circle at the Grand Ole Opry, Jamie sits down with multi-platinum country artist, songwriter, and producer Niko Moon to celebrate the release of his deeply personal new album, ROOTS (out now via EMPIRE). Moving past the sun-drenched, coastal escapism of his previous hits like the triple-platinum anthem "GOOD TIME," Niko opens up like never before. He shares his true origin story, detailing his childhood family hardships, growing up in a Georgia trailer home with no electricity, and the hard-earned optimism that shapes both his life and his career today. In an industry often fixated on superficial milestones and commercial checkmarks, Niko details the exact turning point when he disengaged from the noise to focus on what truly matters: family, mental health, and passing on light to others through his nonprofit, the Happy Cowboy Foundation. __ Inside the Episode: The Practice of Joy: Niko discusses the deliberate mental conditioning required to intentionally choose joy daily, even when navigating life's darkest challenges. From the Trailer to the Circle: A powerful reflection on childhood poverty—what the young boy from Georgia would say to the man standing on the legendary stage of the Grand Ole Opry tonight. Ditching the Industry Checklist: Niko shares when and how he walked away from the superficial expectations of the music business to protect his peace and purpose. The Sound of ROOTS: A look inside the sonic blend of Texas, Georgia, and Nashville, featuring his rare Ray Charles interpolation on "GEORGIA (ROOTS)." __ Connect with Niko Moon: Learn more about the Happy Cowboy Foundation: https://happycowboyfoundation.org/ Connect with Jrodconcerts Media: Instagram: https://instagram.com/jrodconcertsmedia Website: https://www.jrodconcertsmedia.com __ Support The Show: Apple Pay: Whether you're shopping online for everyday needs or treating yourself, skip the hassle.

Send us Fan MailDespite the Minnesota Twins' series loss at the Chicago Cubs, David and Dan still have much to discuss. David is clear-minded and very upset about how Game 2 ended, even as he continues to support Luke Keaschall in all of his baseball tools. Dan insists on challenging David's ability to do simple math. They both like the way the bullpen has shaken out, and they discuss Major League Baseball's recent crackdown on iPad use in dugouts. Dan is not surprised. David thinks it'll work itself out.

Was the Ray Charles tribute the best part of the All-Star Game? Who do NFL personnel experts think are the best WRs and is the ACC Football Tiebreaker set up worse than the produce parasite?

Send us Fan MailThe Minnesota Twins win yet another series, their eighth over the last nine, and head into the All-Star Break one win under .500 at 48-49. David continues to defend Derek Shelton's creative use of Luke Keaschall, who had ups and downs during this series against the Los Angeles Angels. Dan is pleased with how Shelton handled the pitching staff and how he's basically helped this team become exactly what Dan thought it would be at this point in the season. David and Dan discuss whether Ryan Jeffers will be with the Twins long term (or even for the rest of this season) and then make their picks for Minnesota's next series, which will be in Chicago after the Break.

Send us Fan MailThe Minnesota Twins win their seventh series in their last eight, giving David and Dan plenty to discuss after the Twins take two of three games against the rival Cleveland Guardians at Target Field. While David laments that the Twins didn't do more to win Game 3 and secure a sweep, he still really likes what he saw from Taj Bradley and wants the Twins to lock him into a long-term deal now. Dan is confused about what the Twins are doing in the field positionally, though David has no issues with the approach. Both are eager to see Ryan Jeffers return soon, hopefully for this final series before the All-Star Break.

Riding high after attending a St. Paul Saints game, David is riding high about not just the Triple-A squad but also the Big League one, and he wonders if it's time to go all-in on the Twins. Dan praises manager Derek Shelton's handling of the lineup over the last couple of weeks.

The Katherine Massey Book Club @ The C.O.W.S. hosts the GRAND FINALE (Session 12) on lyin' Michelle Alexander's *The New Jim Crow: Mass Incarceration in the Age of Colorblindness*. Alexander has a living White mother and a deceased Black father. Despite 15 years of institutional celebration for her work, Gus T. anticipated this title being one of the "5 Worst Books Ever." History shows that racists generally do not promote literature that provides an accurate understanding of the System of White Supremacy. This week, we drop the final Mario Elie "Kiss of Death" three-pointer on this text, permanently closing the casket on a 15-year academic hustle. We open the final chapter, *Obama: The Promise and the Peril*, and interrogate the absolute peak of her biographical dishonesty where she explicitly labels Affirmative Action a "racial bribe" that Black people must surrender to play academic "games of chicken" with their own survival. We back up our 12-week forensic media audit by deploying a devastating 14-minute custom audio track from our own 2010 CREE archive and 2016 public media slips. We let the Pusha T, Kendrick Lamar, Ray Charles, and Neely Fuller Jr. audio do the talking because Michelle Alexander has officially fouled out of the game! THE 15-POINT FORENSIC AUDIT SUMMARY: 1. The Manufactured "Underdog" Narrative: Claims she launched to half-empty rooms to conceal the massive institutional "push" that put her on C-SPAN, NPR, and Democracy Now within 5 months of publication. 2. Systemic Deception by Omission: Completely erases COINTELPRO, Jon Burge's torture ring, Attica, and the Black Panthers to bury earlier, more accurate structural work on the Prison-Industrial Complex. 3. Hidden Biographical Motivation: Willfully conceals her multi-ethnic background to hide her personal family defenses under the guise of objective scholarship. 4. Centering White Trauma: Explicitly argues that White women who chose to have interracial relationships under Jim Crow were primary, injured victims of a racial caste system. 5. The Fraudulent "Bribe" Thesis: Claims White people must be "bribed" to practice Racism, belied by a System of White Supremacy where whiteness automatically requires total domination. 6. Reckless Statistical Manipulation: Arbitrarily changes her state prison violent offender statistic from 33% to 52% between editions with zero data reconciliation or explanation. 7. Specious Claims as Fact: Drops massive, sweeping assertions straight onto the print page with absolutely zero footnotes or supporting empirical documentation. 8. The 1980s Progress Myth: Asserts that by the 1980s, the vast majority of White people opposed the practice of Racism—a completely ahistorical claim unsupported by any evidence. 9. Pathologizing Defense Mechanisms: Labels Affirmative Action a "racial bribe" for Black people, telling the victims of state terror to disarm while the system keeps its weapons. 10. Erasing the Real Beneficiaries: Refuses to inform readers of macro-data showing that White women have historically benefited most from Affirmative Action pipelines. 11. The "Accidental" Absolution: Labors mightily to frame the White power structure as ignorant, well-meaning, and "accidentally" racist to shield calculated state intent from exposure. 12. Coddling Whites, Targeting Black Institutions: Sweeps away structural White guilt while using print space to aggressively scold the CBC, the NAACP, and Bill Cosby. 13. Minstrel Linguistic Framing: Selectively quotes Black interviewees in broken, stereotypical English to frame them as inarticulate and implicitly deserving of incarceration. 14. Double-Dipping the Carceral Ledger: Hides that her husband Carter Stewart profited as a federal prosecutor caging Black bodies, while she profited off the fake literary outrage industry. 15. White-Identified Pronoun Usage: Deploys a slippery use of "we," "us," and "our" to identify with White spaces and lump the victims of Racism in as equally culpable for the system.

Gaea Star Crystal Radio Hour #675 is an hour of dynamic, adventurous visionary acoustic improvised music played live by The Gaea Star Band with Mariam Massaro on vocals, acoustic guitar, ukulele, mandolin, sitar, Native flute, double flute and harmonica, Bob Sherwood on piano and Craig Harris on Native drum and djembe. Today's hour, recorded live at Singing Brook Studio in Worthington, Massachusetts in late June of 2026, begins with the drifting, lilting acoustic guitar ballad “Authenticity” before Mariam plays her chiming, evocative mandolin on the beautifully spontaneously composed “Somebody Walked Before You” with an airy, spacious mood and a fine, widely-ranging vocal. “Ausangate” celebrates the high Peruvian Andes with a mystical, steady, pulsing rhythm track topped with Mariam's mysterious, spiritual lyric and for the gorgeous “Living In The Majesty” guest Seth Martin steps in to play beautiful, echoing modal kalimba as Mariam soars on her psychedelic, overtone-producing double flute. “Summertime” is a Gaea Star Band tradition where the ensemble expresses the utmost possible joy at the arrival of summer backing an evocative summer travelogue from Mariam. “Singing The Same Songs Of Life” is an epic, sprawling blues extemporization decorated with Mariam's bluesy harmonica sharing center stage with her fine vocal atop a bed of pulsing Native drum and Ray Charles piano. “Trust” from the Gaea Star Crystal LP is giving an energetic airing with driving djembe and acoustic guitar and we complete today's show with the drifting, hallucinogenic raga “Lotus Queens” for which Mariam strums her exotic sitar and our guest Seth adds drone from the shruti box.

Send us Fan MailThe Minnesota Twins take 2 of 3 on the road against the Houston Astros at Daikin Park. "The Chaos" Andrew "Hoges" Hoganson joins David for the last time during this stretch as Dan Thompson returns from Europe. The guys discuss their issues with soccer, but also their joy in cheering on the USA in the World Cup. Hoges believers Caratini should be credited with earned runs after a big mistake in game 2, and both guys are baffled as to why Tristan Gray is still on this team. David thinks Royce Lewis' deficiencies are becoming a bigger problem at 1st base, and Hoges continues to be frustrated at Derek Shelton's handling of the bullpen.

The boys are disappointed, but not surprised at the results of the series, and were pleasantly surprised by how close the Twins came to stealing a game or two of the series.

What happens when walking into a room means absorbing every ounce of tension, distress, and unsaid emotion inside it?Many of us are taught that great leadership requires carrying the emotional weight of our teams. We step in to smooth things over, fix conflicts that aren't ours to solve, and mistake constant rescue missions for true connection. The result isn't better leadership, it is exhaustion.In this episode, Amy sits down with global emotional intelligence and empathy expert Dr. Melissa Robinson-Winemiller to map out a clear blueprint for protecting your energy without shutting out your humanity. Drawing from her raw pivot point out of a toxic workplace environment and later experiencing those same broken patterns in other work spaces, Dr. Melissa shares the definitive distinction between reading a room and taking responsibility for it.This conversation is a radical reframe on human connection. You will discover how to stand in your own power, deploy data-backed perspective-taking, and implement the boundaries necessary to stop treating everyone else's distress as your circus to fix.Moments That Create Momentum:The "Not My Circus" Rule: Why walking into a room and feeling everyone else's tension isn't a gift, it's a boundary failure that is secretly draining you.The Revenue Shield: The deeply unsettling reason why elite organizations intentionally protect toxic high-performers and narcissists.The Empathy Illusion: Dr. Melissa shares why empathy is passive, and how jumping straight into "fixing" things actually triggers misplaced, destructive compassion.The Danger of Being "Nice": Why standard corporate manners are often just a mask for insincerity, and the reason true kindness requires telling the ugly truth.The Self-Rescue Mandate: Why launching into service for others before mastering self-empathy is a fast track to destroying your own career.About the Guest:As professional musician, Dr. Melissa Robinson-Winemiller worked with major talent such as Ray Charles, David Ogden Stiers, and Mannheim Steamroller. But cold and toxic leadership eventually robbed her of a career that was 30+ years in the making. However, that incident inspired Dr. Melissa to transform leadership as we know it by redefining the one element that most leaders miss: empathy. Today, she's an international bestselling author, Editor's Pick TEDx speaker, EQ and empathy coach, and leading voice on emotional intelligence and empathy. She's known for blending lived experience, academic depth, and a sharp, data-driven approach that not only makes sense but demystifies how empathy translates to better productivity, innovation, and profit. Her mission is to invite everyone to approach empathy as a strategic skill for every human-centric action, not only for others but also for ourselves, and to step up in the way the future of leadership demands.https://eqviaempathy.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-melissa-a-robinson-winemiller-author-speaker-trainerhttps://www.instagram.com/empathyqueen.eqhttps://www.youtube.com/@TheEmpathicLeaderhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IaoXSEWeILo&t=63shttps://geni.us/TheEmpathicLeaderAbout Amy:Amy Lynn Durham, known by her clients as the Corporate Mystic, is the founder of the Executive Coaching Firm, Create Magic At Work®, where they help leaders build workplaces rooted in creativity, collaboration, and fulfillment.

The concept to which The Rascals were dedicated was, in Felix Cavaliere's words, "Marvin Gaye's voice, Ray Charles' piano, Jimmy Smith's organ, Phil Spector's production and The Beatles' writing. Put them all together and you've got what I wanted to do." A White Rock band playing Black Soul music was a new idea for Pop in 1965. "The great thing about music in the 1960s was that people were discovering there was no color barrier in the business. We were respected by the Black groups we loved as much as we respected them," noted Cornish. The Rascals' music was dubbed blue-eyed Soul, a term Cavaliere never cared for. "I always hated the label because it created a separation between Black and White music. It was a marketing concept. As soon as you put a drum in music, it's R&B. I wish it wouldn't have been called blue-eyed Soul. My eyes aren't blue."The band's first release for Atlantic was called "I Ain't Gonna Eat Out My Heart Anymore" which rose to #52 in the U.S. in 1965, but it was their 1966 effort, "Good Lovin'" that made them Rock 'n' Roll stars. The song quickly rose to the number one spot on Billboard's Hot 100 and went Gold. They followed with two more Top 20 hits, "You Better Run" (#20) and "I've Been Lonely Too Long" (#16) later the same year.The writing was a key component of the band's success, as sixteen of their eighteen chart records were written by Cavaliere alone or in tandem with frequent collaborator Eddie Brigati. As the song writing progressed, social commentary began to show up in the music. The group's growing ambition was reflected in the change from The Young Rascals to simply The Rascals. The word "young" had originally been inserted before the band's name for legal reasons. It seems there was a group named Johnny Pulleo & The Harmonica Rascals who claimed a proprietary interest. "We were embarrassed about that, 'cause we were trying to be a Soul band," said Cornish. "It wasn't The Silver Rascals or The Rockin' Rascals, it was The Young Rascals! And we had to live with it. By the time we got to Groovin', we said, 'Well, enough of this. We are The Rascals.'"A high point for both Cornish and Cavaliere was 1968's #1 hit "People Got To Be Free". "The message in songs like 'People Got To Be Free' is as important now as it ever was," said Gene. It was written in reaction to the King and Kennedy assassinations that year. In fact, Cavaliere had worked for the RFK campaign. "That the song was #1 in places like Berlin and South Africa meant a lot to me," said Felix. Despite the initial resistance to the political nature of the song, it went on to become The Rascals' biggest-selling record. It was also their last #1 hit. The Rascals followed with "A Ray Of Hope" (#24 in 1968), "Heaven" (#39 in 1969), "See" (#27 in 1969) and "Carry Me Back" (#26 in 1969). Two other 1970 releases, "Hold On" (#81) and "Glory Glory" (#71) failed to crack the Top 40, and a song called "Love Me" was a miserable flop when it peaked at #99 during a one week stay on the Hot 100 in the Summer of 1971. The Jazz-tinged experimentation of later albums like "Peaceful World" and "The Island Of Real" (which Cavaliere once called "The best record I ever made") proved less commercial than the group's earlier Garage Band Soul. Management was less than supportive of the new directions the band was headed in and a switch to the Columbia label in 1971 failed to provide the new life they were looking for. Personal frictions were on the rise too, and eventually Brigati and Cornish quit the band. They were replaced with Buzzy Feiten (from The Paul Butterfield Blues Band) and Ann Sutton, who had sung with various Soul and Jazz groups in Philadelphia. By 1972, The Rascals called it quits.

John “JR” Robinson is one of the best and maybe the most recorded drummer of the modern era. His Bio is out of this world. You definitely know his playing, because he's played on just about every song ever recorded. Here's just a couple. He's the guy who played that legendary drum fill in Michael Jackson's "Rock With You" from “Off The Wall”, the spectacular intro to Steve Winwood's No. 1 hit, "Higher Love" from “Back In The High Life”, and he was the drummer on “We Are The World”.  In total he's played on over 10,000 recording sessions, 500 movie and television soundtracks, 30 No. 1 hit records, and 50 Grammy winners. He's been named one of Rolling Stone's "Top 100 Drummers of All Time". And he's worked with a Who's Who in music including Quincy Jones, Ray Charles, Chaka Khan, Lady Gaga, Peter Frampton, George Benson, Elton John, Madonna, Marvin Hamlisch, and Barbra Streisand, to name just a few. And he's written a biography called “King Of The Groove”. My featured song is “The Rich Ones All Stars”, my recent single.

Parades et célébrations le 19 juin 2026 aux États-Unis : le pays célèbre Juneteenth : l'émancipation et la liberté pour tous les esclaves dans tous les États du pays annoncée en 1865 au Texas, dernier État à avoir appris la nouvelle. Une fête célébrée cette année à Paris aussi à l'Arrêt, le restaurant de la cheffe afro-américaine Mashama Bailey et Johno Morisano, un restaurant aux saveurs du sud des États-Unis, à l'image de celle proposée dans le restaurant original à Savannah dans l'État de Géorgie.  Mashama Bailey est notre invitée. Pour une autre lecture de l'émission, ces time codes ont été notés pour vous permettre d'aller directement aux sujets qui vous intéressent. L'émission s'ouvre à Savannah en Géorgie, chez Mashama Bailey, sous le porche de sa maison, un après-midi de printemps avec ses parents, à partager un petit goûter salé de pâté en croûte et de quiche, héritage de ses années françaises peut-être. Aux origines du goût. Avant d'être cheffe, Mashama Bailey est une enfant qui mange. Dans la cuisine de sa mère et surtout de sa grand-mère, elle découvre sans le savoir une certaine idée du goût : des produits de saison, du fait maison, et une cuisine ancrée dans le quotidien, une cuisine rurale et végétale, fraîche et intuitive, pas tout à fait l'image caricaturale de la cuisine de la soul food, et du Sud. (3'30) Les racines de cette cuisine se trouvent dans la nature même de la ville de Savannah, au sud-est des États-Unis, un port né il y a un peu plus de 2 siècles, un refuge pour de nombreuses communautés. Ce melting pot constitue le socle de la tradition culinaire avec un plat emblématique : le Country Captain. Les légumes au cœur de la cuisine du Sud (8'00) : Choux, feuilles de moutarde, navets, maïs, patates, douces… Les légumes, les greens sont un pilier, les marqueurs d'une identité culinaire et culturelle, et sa grand-mère les lui a transmis. Elle n'avait pas de jardin mais connaissait les maraichers, les jardiniers, les pêcheurs, et il y avait toujours une casserole sur le feu, quant à Mashama, elle passe sa vie dehors, à cueillir les fruits chauffés par le soleil à même l'arbre. C'est en France que le déclic opère (12'03), Mashama cheffe privée pour une famille new yorkaise a l'impression de régresser et saisit l'opportunité de partir en France, en Bourgogne, pour se former. Elle redécouvre en Bourgogne les marchés, cette proximité entre le champ et l'assiette. De retour à Savannah, Mashama part à la rencontre de cette vraie cuisine du Sud, dont le reflet n'est pas le poulet frit que le marketing propose à toutes les sauces -quand à l'origine, il s'agit d'un plat de fête très long à préparer. « Quand je suis rentrée, j'ai compris tout ce que j'avais à apprendre sur cette cuisine du Sud, et on ne pouvait pas l'apprendre dans les restaurants. Pour la découvrir et la goûter, il fallait rencontrer des gens, être invitée chez eux, regarder, pour apprendre ces recettes du Sud, comme les pains de maïs, ou le succotash, c'est un ragout de légumes d'été. »   Fière de ses racines africaines, qui l'honorent et l'obligent. (15'27) Mashama Bailey revendique aujourd'hui une cuisine personnelle, qui raconte l'histoire des Afro- Américains, de ses racines noires, et en valeur cet précieux. Elle insiste sur la nécessité de préserver et transmettre ces recettes, notamment auprès des jeunes générations. Elle rappelle le rôle fondamental des Afro-Américains dans la construction des États-Unis, de la société, et de la culture culinaire américaine, ce qu'elle s'emploie à mettre en valeur et transmettre. (21'28) Transmettre, préserver, honorer ses racines et la mémoire afro-américaine. La rencontre avec The GREY, la station de bus à Savannah. The Greyhound bus station, (22'10) une station construite et utilisée pendant la ségrégation. En allant la visiter, la cheffe très émue a ressenti étonnamment qu'il y avait eu de la joie dans l'espace réservé aux Noirs, aux « gens de couleur », elle a alors compris qu'elle allait à son tour faire résonner la joie dans cet endroit, et la mémoire d'un peuple, qu'elle allait cuisiner. La cheffe raconte sa relation amicale et d'associés avec Johno Morisano, (24'40) puis revient sur son restaurant parisien L'Arrêt, où elle cherche à faire découvrir une cuisine du Sud contemporaine et exigeante, adaptée au contexte français mais fidèle à ses racines. Puis il est question de Juneteenth, des raisons pour lesquelles beaucoup d'États américains connaissent encore mal cette fête, très largement célébrée dans le Sud, dans les États esclavagistes, et de la fête organisée à Paris ! Johno Mosisano et Mashama Bailey ont ouvert l'Arrêt à Paris, 36 rue de l'Université, dans le 7ème arrondissement. Mashama Bailey a été sacrée meilleure cheffe des États-Unis le 13 juin 2022, par la fondation James Beard, soit plus haute distinction gastronomique du pays.

Send us Fan MailStill short on starting pitching and still trying to put together a competitive bullpen, the Minnesota Twins lost two of three to the Tigers in Detroit, falling eight games under .500. That has Dan and Hoges thinking about what might happen in late July and whether Joe Ryan is winding down his time with the Twins. Dan is confused about why Mike Paredes doesn't get the official title as "spot starter," while Hoges has diagnosed Royce Lewis' inconsistent play over the last three years.

Vi letar upp årets växt: blåsugan. Och lyssnar på Östersjötumlarens klickljud och hör vad som görs för att rädda den hotade tandvalen. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Världens minsta tandval, tumlaren, jagar sill och skarpsill i vattnen runt Gotland. Det är den akut hotade Östersjötumlaren, en särskild population av tumlare som lever hela sitt liv i Östersjöns bräckta vatten. Alexandra Colbing, marinbiolog på Länsstyrelsen Gotland, jobbar med Östersjötumlaren längs Gotlands kuster och de stora skyddade vattenområdena Hoburgs bank och Midsjöbankarna. Vi hämtar in en akustisk klickdetektor som samlat in klickljud från tumlare som simmat förbi och hör vad klickljuden berättar om de små valarna som passerat, och pratar om vad som görs för att rädda tumlarna och hur framtiden ser ut för en av Östersjöns mest hotade arter. Fältreporter på plats är Lisa Henkow.Varje år utser Svenska botaniska föreningen en växt som de vill veta mer om. År 2026 är denna växt blåsuga. En lilablå pyramidformad växt som sprids med myror! Joacim Lindwall följer med botanisten Peter Ståhl för att leta efter den lite speciella växten.Jenny Friedl i Karlstad fick häromveckan ett oväntat besök – av en stäpphök. Magnus Hellström, chef på Ottenby fågelstation, berättar mer om denna ovanliga rovfågel som är en kärrhök men ser ut som en smäcker tärna.Och så fick vi ett mejl från Malin Vikström som ”blivit med kråka”, som hon uttrycker det. Den har fått namnet Kalle Två. En dag fanns inget annat än knäckebröd att mata honom med, och då doppade han det i vatten innan han åt upp det. Hur visste kråkan att den skulle göra så? Vi ber etolog Johan Lind förklara.Under två dagar nu i början av juni, 5 och 6 juni, kan alla som vill vara med och rapportera hur långt försommaren har kommit. Det är Sveriges Lantbruksuniversitet och Svenska botaniska föreningen som vill veta om syren, hägg, liten blåklocka, liljekonvalj, prästkrage och rönn blommar just nu på olika platser i landet. Genom att följa växternas blomning kan forskarna se hur naturen svarar på klimatförändringarna. Sofia Åström från Botaniska föreningen i Abisko berättar om Försommarkollen, och också om sommaren är på gång så långt norrut i Sverige.Så här på nationaldagen plockar vi fram Sveriges nationalfågel, tillika det mest önskade reprisinslaget i Naturmorgons historia: Lasse Willéns kråkvinkel om när en koltrast sjöng duett med Ray Charles.Programledare är Mats Ottosson.Veckans naturfråga: En liten kvast för konstnärlig aktivitet finns med i namnet på den art vi söker.Denna decapod upptäcktes i Sverige så sent som 2010 - och glädjen var inte odelad.På sina håll är den nu vanligare än den släkting som somriga barn ofta ses fiska efter.Skicka ditt svar senast torsdag till naturmorgon@sverigesradio.se eller Naturmorgon, 359 30 Växjö.

David and Dan discuss the road back to .500, which looks like a difficult one considering all the pitching injuries and the strain on the depth of the starting rotation. David wants to know how the Twins are addressing all of the Pirates' stolen bases, while Dan wants to see more prospects make their way to the Majors. There were positive performances for sure (by Brooks Lee and Kody Clemens), but the struggles were many in this series. They both try to stay a little bit optimistic. After all, there are still four months of baseball. Thanks for listening, and go Twins!The Gran Group with Edina Realty TWIN CITIES AREA REALTORS TO MEET ALL OF YOUR HOUSING NEEDS!

Send us Fan MailThe Minnesota Twins capped their most exciting series of the season with one last victory on Sunday to give them a sweep over the Boston Red Sox at Fenway Park. David is still giddy having nearly fist pumped through his ceiling at the end of Game 3. Dan is a bit more measured -- after all, it's only the end of May. But the Twins are indeed sitting in playoff position, an unlikely spot to say the least. David has questions about how this lineup continues to produce, and Dan wonders just how good this bullpen could end up being. They also address the Royce Lewis dilemma after the first-overall pick excelled during his first weekend back at Triple-A.

In this episode, Charles sits down with Mike Bernard, a Boston-area author, screenwriter, and playwright who came to writing later in life and hasn't slowed down since. Mike has published eight novels, written a stage musical, and optioned multiple screenplays through prestigious competitions including the Academy Nicholl Fellowship, the Page International Screenwriting Awards, ScreenCraft, and the Nantucket Film Festival. The conversation weaves together music, memory, friendship, and the creative life — all anchored in the gritty, soulful sounds of the 1970s and early '80s. Mike's live music journey begins with a memorable — if reluctant — first show: escorting his grandmother to see Liberace at the Cape Cod Melody Tent. His real musical awakening came when he saw the J. Geils Band at the old Boston Garden as a teenager, an experience he still counts among his best. The blues-driven energy of "House Party" and "Musta Got Lost" made a lifelong impression, and he draws a sharp distinction between that era of J. Geils and the MTV-era band that followed. Other standout shows include Elvis Costello at the Cape Cod Coliseum — where the opening silhouettes under blue light during "Watching the Detectives" hit him like a gut punch — and an extraordinary 1990 benefit concert at Worcester's Clark University featuring Don Henley, Glenn Frey, Timothy B. Schmit, Bob Seger, Jackson Browne, Bonnie Raitt, and Jimmy Buffett all on the same bill. And for pure comedic gold, Mike recounts the moment a Little River Band guitar pick landed — and stuck — to his bare thigh at the Melody Tent, with zero competition from the crowd for the souvenir. Charles and Mike then discuss Mike's book Concert Dates; a fictional story told in interview form — inspired by Daisy Jones & The Six — that follows six friends who meet at a concert at age 15 and are reunited decades later through a video diary. The backdrop is the Cape Cod Coliseum, a converted hockey rink that hosted an extraordinary run of classic rock shows from 1972 to 1983, including Van Halen, The Clash, Talking Heads, Peter Frampton, Lynyrd Skynyrd, and J. Geils (twelve times). Mike also shares the remarkable story of connecting with photographer Rudy Childs — a previous Seeing Them Live guest — through a Facebook group dedicated to the Coliseum, only to discover that Rudy's candid parking lot photos included a picture of Mike and his own friends from a Clash show. Listeners who enjoy music, nostalgia, and deeply human storytelling will find Concert Dates — and Mike's wider catalog, including Crossing the Sagamore — well worth picking up on Amazon.

YHI + McBride = Ray Charles?! Christian McBride - bassist, Grammy winner and one of the greatest musical minds working today - joins Adam and Peter on You'll Hear It to share his desert island album.If you know Christian, you know that his musical hero is James Brown. But Christian isn't bringing a James Brown pick. Instead, he's bringing one from his hero's hero ... Ray Charles.This album was a risky move for Charles - unlike anything else he'd released at that time. At the peak of his power, he set aside the qualities that made him famous: his voice and his piano.This one's a deep cut. But once you listen, you'll never hear Ray Charles the same way again.Chapters Legend:
