Podcasts about Robert Johnson

Werjo, Rojo & Jon break down the inaugural World Ultimate Championships in Budapest, debating whether the made-for-TV format should ever replace the traditional Worlds and whether it devalues USAs as a selection meet. The crew dives into Jakob Ingebrigtsen's dominant 5,000m and his viral mixed-zone interview, plus a debate over whether Hobbs Kessler's "bronze" actually proves anything given how tight the American trio finished. Elsewhere: Melissa Jefferson Wooden's wind-and-altitude-adjusted 200m may be the best ever run, Josh Kerr's closing splits get the stat-nerd treatment, and Nikki Hiltz finally breaks through for a global top 3. Jess Hull takes silver behind Likina Amebaw's dominant 5,000m run. The back half tackles the newly awarded 2029 (Nairobi) and 2031 (Munich) Worlds, sparking an argument over altitude-fueled world records, Kenya's doping record, and whether skipping Europe three Worlds in a row is a mistake. Closes with Megan Eckert's six-day world record and a very "messy" Hyrox controversy.

Almost everyone who sees him describes the exact same thing. A tall shadow in a wide brimmed hat, sometimes a top hat, sometimes a bowler (he's a man of many hats I guess you could say), standing in the doorway at two in the morning, watching, while you lie there unable to move. This episode is the Hat Man in the witnesses' own accounts. A woman woken by her own mother's voice, sisters who both saw him from their bunk beds, a little girl who watched him stand over her dying grandmother.This time we took it a step further than first hand accounts. We track him backward through every culture that's already met him, because it keeps looking like one visitor under a laundry list of names. Odin wandered the old Norse world as a tall man in a broad hat who appeared in doorways right before someone died. Papa Legba stands at the Haitian crossroads, and that same crossroads figure became the tall stranger in black you meet at midnight in the American South. Baron Samedi waits at the grave in his top hat. El Sombrerón haunts a girl's window in Guatemala. The Alp stands over your bed in Germany.Same hat, same threshold, from cultures that never touched. If you've ever woken up and felt someone in the room, this one's for you. Real firsthand Hat Man encounters, the cross cultural entity behind him, and the sleep paralysis science, all in one. Be sure to share your personal experiences with the hat man in the comments below for a chance to make it into our Hat Man Listener Stories episode which is coming down the road once we collect enough stories from all of you! Buckle up, this ones a doozy.

Episode 63: From 4 Years Ago. Sept 18, 2022. Chris Hillman, Journey, Zeppelin, Jesse Colin Young(Bloods) September 6, 2026 The ‘60s and ‘70s brought some happy/sad/high/low/up/down/sweet/sour/yin/yang things. We were evolving as a country, coming out of post-WWII and Korean War times and heading into wars, the age of Aquarius and of the computer. For me, the music drove me. The Summer of Love in San Francisco and The Summer of Soul in NYC changed everything in our culture. The music of that time is what I try to capture in this fast-moving hour of album-oriented-rock (AOR). It started with Robert Johnson and Jimmie Rodgers.

Sound Pathways with Dr. Karen Olson DIGGING DEEP with Chuck Leah The Man, the Stories & the Music Chuck's Website: https://www.chuckleahfyc.com/ Texas troubadour, songwriter, storyteller and paleontologist Chuck Leah has built alife—and a body of music—around digging beneath the surface. His songs weave history, imagination, lived experience and richly detailed stories into worlds that feel remarkably real. On this episode of Sound Pathways, Karen Olson goes Digging Deep with Chuck to explore what first drew him to music, where those captivating stories come from, and how seemingly different chapters of our lives can overlap, inspire one another and ultimately become part of our creative voice. At the heart of the conversation is Chuck's new release, A Necessary Evil, emerging from a profound chapter in his life that he has publicly described as a near-death experience. Together, Karen and Chuck explore creativity, survival, resilience and renewal—and how what we live through can become inspiration for what we create next. And perhaps the digging comes full circle when what an artist uncovers and gives meaning through music is shared with others—allowing listeners to discover their own meaning in the song, and perhaps something meaningful in their own lives as well. Draw from life. Dig into inspiration. Create what comes next. From the Crossroads to Coyote: Survival, Storytelling, and the Making of A Necessary Evil Summary The Meaning Behind A Necessary Evil Chuck Leah explains that the concept for A Necessary Evil grew out of his longstanding fascination with the Robert Johnson crossroads legend and his own reflections on the difficult compromises people make in ordinary life. He interprets "necessary evil" less as a supernatural bargain and more as the jobs, hardships, responsibilities, and circumstances people endure in order to take care of family and move forward. His own serious medical crisis gave the phrase a more personal meaning because he had to accept help when he was accustomed to being the person who helped others. He describes the record as a concept album built from his own stories, with gospel voices, harmony, symbolism, and a recurring tension between good and bad. The host connects this idea to transformation through hardship, and Leah agrees that difficult experiences can make a person stronger, more resilient, and less afraid. The album's title therefore becomes a framework for understanding survival, sacrifice, and the creative meaning that can emerge from adversity. A Childhood Built Around Sound and Experimentation Leah traces his musical life back to early childhood, when his father's garage band, broad listening tastes, and small cassette recorder introduced him to both performance and experimentation. He says he first picked up a three-quarter-size bass after the band's bass player died and felt almost immediately as though he already knew how to play. Although he had little formal instruction and did not study music theory until later, he became absorbed in making music and recording ideas. A small Sony recorder and a large boombox led him to invent a primitive overdubbing method, layering instruments by recording from one machine into another through a single microphone. He remembers arranging instruments physically around the room and thinking like a producer long before entering a professional studio. His earliest songwriting also came through experimentation, beginning with songs he admired and gradually changing melodies and lyrics until the material became his own. Storytelling, Memory, and the Coyote Experience The conversation turns to Leah's storytelling instinct and the way his songs blur lived experience, memory, and imagination. He says he learned from great storytellers and values voices that communicate truth even when they are not conventionally pretty. Inspiration, for him, can come from almost anything: a stranger, a smile, nature, heartbreak, travel, geography, or difficult times. He describes the song "Coyote" as rooted in a real experience at a crossroads, where he waited at midnight as a songwriting exercise and encountered a coyote that seemed to stare and sway in front of him before disappearing. Years later, during a severe medical crisis, he says he saw the coyote again while under heavy medication, and the song formed in his mind even though he was too weak to write or play. That connection between the crossroads encounter and his near-death experience made "Coyote" a central doorway into the larger concept of A Necessary Evil. Illness, Recovery, and the Love of Community Leah recounts an extended hospitalization in Hollywood in which he says he spent 57 days in the hospital, nearly died twice, underwent multiple blood transfusions and surgeries, and temporarily lost the ability to walk and play music. He describes rebuilding his playing through relentless practice after months of weakness and sending an early version of "Coyote" to co-producer Larry Campbell while still recovering. He also speaks emotionally about the support he received from the Americana music community, saying that he had never felt so much love and that the experience made him feel important. The illness left lasting physical effects, including a limp, balance problems, and the risk of falling, but he repeatedly rejected the idea of surrendering to those limitations. His humor remains evident as he jokes about not wanting his life to end through something as unglamorous as an injury from a rusty bed frame. For listeners facing overwhelming circumstances, his example centers on fighting forward, accepting help when necessary, and continuing to write the next part of one's story. Letting Songs Develop on Their Own Time A major creative theme in the interview is Leah's refusal to force songs before they are ready. He says he has been writing for roughly 50 years and does not think of himself as someone who experiences traditional writer's block; when a song will not come together, he assumes it needs more time to simmer. He stores images, place names, memories, and musical ideas in his mind until they mature, then tends to write an entire song in one sitting after much internal preparation. By the time the lyrics are finished, he often already hears the key, tempo, arrangement, drum fills, organ parts, and other instrumentation. He compares songwriting to solving a puzzle and says inspiration is everywhere if a person looks from the right angle. Rather than shaping songs to fit viral trends or predetermined formulas, he lets each song go where it wants to go. His priority is not whether a track becomes popular or gets covered by someone else, but whether he has made a good record. Finding an Artistic Voice and Creating What Comes Next Near the end of the interview, Leah reflects on how a near-death experience changed his appreciation for everyday life, invoking the advice to "enjoy every sandwich" and describing how ordinary tastes, smells, and experiences now feel different. He also says he has little interest in wasting time arguing with negative people and prefers to be around people he likes and do what makes him happy. Looking ahead, he is already writing another project and imagines a traditional 1940s-style country record made from original songs, recorded with musicians gathered around a single microphone. His advice to emerging artists is to protect an idea, let it grow, share it with people, listen to reactions, and keep developing a distinctive voice rather than imitating someone else's identity. He compares his own influences to ingredients in a gumbo, combining country, blues, folk, rock, and songwriting traditions until the mixture becomes his own recipe. The episode closes with the host encouraging listeners to choose a buried story or spark from their own lives, dig into that inspiration, and create what comes next.

For episode 666, Bobby dives into some of the darkest myths and wildest conspiracy theories in music history. He breaks down the legend of Robert Johnson supposedly selling his soul to the devil at the crossroads, why virtuoso musicians were once accused of being possessed, and how Jimmy Page and Led Zeppelin became tied to satanic rumors. Bobby also gets into the strange theories surrounding “Hotel California,” the infamous “Paul is dead” Beatles conspiracy, backward masking hysteria, and whether there’s really anything sinister behind the 27 Club. Along the way, he separates the stories from what actually happened and looks at why people have always been so quick to connect great music with something darker.

Send us Fan MailA “full panel” STI test sounds like peace of mind until you learn what it often leaves out. We sit down with Robert Johnson, founder of Shameless Care, to unpack the testing blind spots that can quietly miss infections, especially when oral exposure is part of your sex life. His turning point is painfully relatable: a partner flags possible gonorrhea, he feels totally fine, and he is staring at a negative result from the week before. The catch? No throat swab, no real clarity.We get specific about how STI testing actually works in the real world: why blood and urine alone may not be enough, why most STIs are asymptomatic, and why “full panel” is not a standardized button your doctor can click. Robert also explains how shame changes what people say in the exam room and how that can snowball into incomplete care. If you have ever walked out of a clinic thinking you were tested for “everything,” this conversation gives you better questions to ask and a clearer way to read your results.Then we zoom out into prevention and modern sexual health tools. We talk PrEP as an HIV prevention breakthrough, U equals U and what it means for transmission, and DoxyPEP as a promising option that also raises real concerns about antibiotic resistance. We also highlight vaccines like HPV and hepatitis B as practical, cancer-preventing steps that too many adults still miss.If you want smarter, shame-free sexual health information that you can actually use, listen now, share this with someone who dates, and leave a review so more people find it. What did your last STI test truly include?https://shamelesscare.com/https://youtu.be/e36gU87R-sU?si=dVsNUK8G9HcQSf7QPodcast: Sex Is Good https://www.buzzsprout.com/2505799 Support the show

Did you miss the first edition of our Training Talk video series? You are in luck as the Supporters Club embargo has ended! In this exclusive 1-on-1 interview, LetsRun.com co-founder Robert Johnson sits down with Dr. Marius Bakken—13:06 5000m runner, two-time Norwegian Olympian, medical doctor, and the true mastermind behind the double threshold "Norwegian Method" training system used by Jakob Ingebrigtsen and elites worldwide. Bakken breaks down the physiological logic behind double threshold, why the muscular system (not the heart or lungs) is the true limiting factor for distance runners, how to properly use lactate meters, super shoe technology, and why easy days MUST stay easy. If you liked interview, then you need to read the article we wrote as he answered some additional questions via email after we recorded.

Co-Host Robert Johnson (https://mountaintoppodcast.com/shameless) My first-time guest Robert Johnson is the founder of Shameless Care, a sexual health telemedicine company focused on STI testing and medications. That alone makes him the right guy to finally do a show with on the topic of how to talk about sexually transmitted diseases/infections with women. But as it turns out, Robert has some street cred. His personal story is actually what led to the founding of the company. So first of all, what is it that makes us as men so reticent to have, well...necessary conversations with women about sex? What were we taught in school (and perhaps even church) about sex that beset us with an awkward mindset about it for life? Next why it's true you're not really "damaged goods" if you have an STI (hint: almost everyone who is sexually active is infected with something). What should we do to test ourselves properly, and indeed to protect ourselves from getting STIs to begin with? How are women likely to respond to the "STI talk" in ways we probably aren't expecting? When is the right time to have an STI conversation with a woman...and the wrong time? What can we know about a woman's STI risk by her "body count", or how clean she looks and seems? And what about the HIV/AIDS situation nowadays? What are the real-world risks, and how should you talk about that? Overall, I have to say this show ended up being at least as much fun as it is necessary, which is always a good thing.

Here we are with another 'Summerween' episode.  this time we are digging into musicians who supposedly made deals with the devil for their skill and fame.  We start with the Mississippi Delta's favorite crossroads legend, Robert Johnson.  We tell both the legendary version of his tale and then we dig down to what is likely the truth behind his life.  Then we jump back to Europe in the 1700's where we meet a slightly strange man named Niccolo Paganini and hear about his deal with the devil.  Then we dispense with the legend and tell the truth of his life, at least as much as we know,  Finally, we tell the legend of Petey Wheatstraw, the Devil's Son-In-Law and then again, contrast that with the real life of Blues musician William Bunch, who used the name to perform and leaned into the legend hard.  We examine the legacy of these tales and even discuss how their represented on the modern internet where, under their videos, you can read comments of people openly accusing people like Katy Perry and Taylor Swift of having sold their souls for fame and fortune in this don't look now but the devil's watchin' episode of the Family Plot Podcast!Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/family-plot--4670465/support.

"This is the second to last Rock School show and I'm using it to pitch my 4th album, Widow Maker, which went live last week on Spotify and Apple Music. I hope you enjoy it and I hope to see you all next week for the final Rock School Show."

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with singer, songwriter, harmonica player, and bandleader Christopher Wyze for a conversation about creativity, discipline, mentorship, and discovering an entirely new musical life later in adulthood.Christopher spent decades working as a professional writer and advertising executive before writing his first song in 2022. We talk about how those years of meeting deadlines, telling stories, and finding the clearest possible language prepared him for songwriting. He shares how producer and mentor Ralph Carter encouraged him to take his writing seriously, ultimately leading to the album Stuck in the Mud, recorded in Muscle Shoals with an exceptional group of musicians.We also explore the joy and vulnerability of entering the studio with world-class players, including members of the Hi Rhythm Section, and hearing a simple lyric or demo become a fully realized piece of music. Christopher talks about collaboration, learning to trust the room, and the responsibility he feels to keep writing and recording while the songs are arriving.A major part of our conversation centers on Naptown Blues, Christopher Wyze and the Tellers' tribute to Indianapolis blues musicians Leroy Carr and Scrapper Blackwell. We discuss their influence on artists such as Robert Johnson, the overlooked history of blues recording in Indiana, and why Christopher feels called to help preserve and share that legacy.Ultimately, this is a conversation about believing someone when they see something in you, finding purpose after a difficult professional chapter, and reaching a point in life where fear no longer gets to make the decisions.Key TakeawaysChristopher wrote his first song in 2022 after decades of professional writing in newspapers, magazines, books, and advertising.Producer and former Eddie Money collaborator Ralph Carter became a mentor who encouraged Christopher to write original music and helped shape his songs in the studio.His debut album, Stuck in the Mud, was recorded in Muscle Shoals with musicians including guitarist Eric Deaton.Christopher approaches songwriting much like advertising: identify the central idea, use as few words as possible, and allow music and imagery to carry part of the story.Playing with musicians such as the Hi Rhythm Section has taught him to trust the moment and elevate his own performance.Naptown Blues honors Indianapolis blues pioneers Leroy Carr and Scrapper Blackwell, whose music helped influence Robert Johnson and “Sweet Home Chicago.”Christopher believes his most important work now is writing and recording songs, even when that means performing less often.His return to music has given him a sense of joy, purpose, and fearlessness that he did not have earlier in life.Music from the EpisodeI'm Going Back to Tennessee - Christopher WyzeAbout the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is a long-form interview podcast hosted by Brad Williams featuring thoughtful conversations with musicians, songwriters, producers, and artists about creativity, craft, collaboration, and the experiences that shape their work.

When it comes to music curses – and the Devil's Music itself – there is no musician more closely linked to the supernatural than Robert Johnson, the legendary bluesman who allegedly sold his soul to the Devil at a crossroads in the Mississippi Delta for magical playing skills and a handful of tunes. Robert would go on to become the founding member of the sinister “27 Club” but that's not the only curse that's been linked to the young guitar player. There's also the so-called CROSSROADS' BLUES CURSE.The legend of the curse states that Robert, with his deal with the Devil, became the first victim of the song that he wrote and made famous. He died a horrible death after being murdered by a jealous husband – stabbed, shot, or poisoned, depending on the version of the story you hear – and was buried in an unmarked grave for decades. But Robert Johnson was only the first victim of his own curse – he wouldn't be the last.Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

"Every list of the best bands contains the same bands in the top 20 so I made a new list. I looked at several best band lists and eliminated those top 20 bands. My list gets rid of the obvious choices and gives many lesser known bands a chance. See what you think."

"Tammy and I have decided to retire from our jobs and also from creating the Rock School Radio show. I know this is the 744th show on PRX but it's actually our 997th show overall. We will do this show and three more, ending on our 1000th show. To that end, in this show we will announce some musicians who might be retiring soon themselves. We will list the oldest people touring this summer."

Welcome back to the Manor and welcome to part 2 (of 4.5) of our Robert Johnson series! Robert is still a young man and is starting to travel around and learn his craft from his musical mentors and starting various relationships.   And it was one of these mentorships that led Robert into cemeteries to learn from the haunts and haints there!  Sort of.  If you want more on this, pour yourself a pint and listen in!

"For an experiment, I denoted the last ten generations and attempted to define the song of their generation. Some were easy and some quite difficult. I offer five possibilities first and then pick. See if I made the correct choice."

A masterclass in the art of the all-nighter, as one of France's finest purveyors of funk delivers six hours live from Robert Johnson. What does minimal sound like in 2026? Ask five DJs and you'll get five answers, from the acidic electro and techno of Montevideo to the dubby loops of Montreal. A real contender for the face of contemporary minimal, though, is Romain Poncet, AKA Traumer. Poncet is, in many ways, old school. As a DJ, he offers a French twist on Rominimal: long, drawn-out loops mixed with imperceptible precision. In the studio, he turns out the kind of records you'd find in Raresh's bag. He didn't start out a minimal head, though. His early-'10s releases were driving techno and tech house, but around 2016 the Parisian changed tack, launching GET TRAUM — a label steeped in both Bucharest's ar:pia:r and France's own history of deep, stripped-back house. Whatever the genre, his music is understated, never showy: DJ tools in the truest sense, designed for dancers and for DJs who want to tell a story over a long set. Case in point is RA.1049, a six-hour recording from Robert Johnson. The drums skip like kids let out for summer; the melodies sit between euphoria and melancholy. Swallow it whole or savour it course by course — RA.1049 is a Traumer tasting menu. Read more at ra.co/podcast/1067 @traumer

"I was talking about the Paul is Dead conspiracy theory in class one day and the students began asking me if I knew about THIS theory. And then THIS theory. We went on for 30 minutes and then I did some research. There were so many theories I had never heard of. Hopefully they are new to you as well. We have a long list."
