https://www.outdoornews.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/09/Sept-19-long-show.mp3 Minnesota regular duck season kicks off next week, and Tim Lesmeister and Rob Drieslein preview the season and kick around bagging a few coots (mud hens?) if the mallards and teal do not cooperate. Then Sharon “The Birdchick” Stiteler joins Drieslein for the second week in a row; lots of hawk talk with Shaz this week. Special DNR guest Jennifer Teegarden then shares information with listeners on a great cost-share program that helps small landowners pay for trees and materials if they're looking to reforest their property. (Sign up while dollars are still available!) Then Lesmeister and Drieslein rendezvous again to talk music and the Rock-and-Roll Hall of Fame's upcoming induction ceremony in November. Instead of talking about this year's inductees, they debate the biggest snubs in the Hall's history. The post Episode 610 – Coot hunting? Cost-share for woodland owners, hawk talk, and Rock-and-Roll HOF snubs appeared first on Outdoor News.

John's Website https://www.johnpapagros.com/Tour Dates https://www.johnpapagros.com/showsBorn in New Orleans, John Papa Gros (pronounced grow) has spent more than a quarter-century championing the music of the Big Easy. He's played it all New Orleans funk, rock roll, jazz, blues, Americana, pop/rock and he swirls thoseemstyles into a genre-bending gumbo that pays tribute to his influences while still pushing ahead into new territory. Like Allen Toussaint and Dr. John, Gros is a proud local who carries on the tradition of New Orleans music, both honoring its past and helping to shape its future. After kicking off his career as an organist and pianist, for George Porter Jr. Runnin Pardners, during the 1990s, Gros formed the funk group Papa Grows Funk in 2000. For 13 years, the band performed every Monday night at the Maple Leaf Bar, delivering greasy, groove-heavy Big Easy funk, while with releasing six criticallyacclaimed albums and touring the world, carrying the iR&Brand of New Orleans' music to far-flung places. Papa Grows Funk called it quits in 2013. Gros resumed is role as a top sid an for many Nola artists including Better Than Ezra, Little Feat, Anders Osborne, The Metermen, The funky Meters, and The Neville Brothers. Finally, Gros began focusing once again on songwriting and his solo career which he'd kicked off in 2004 with the album Day's End by prepping a second solo record that focuses on the full range of his musical influences and abilities. Thus River on Fire was born in 2016. River on Fire finds John shifting his songwriting focus back to the instrument that started his lifelong musical journey - the piano. The album reaches far beyond Papa Grows Funk groove-based sound and offers listeners a bit of everything party songs, funk grooves, upbeat rockers and Americana singer/songwriteR&Ballads. Rock n Roll Hall of Fame, New Orleans legendary music creator and Gros mentor, Allen Toussaint, describes John as an instrument of New Orleans music at it best. I was paying homage to Allen in every song, be it subtle hints oR&Blatant highway robbery, admits Gros. It all coming together in the right place, at the right time. As a sid an, Ive worn a lot of different musical hats, he says. With River on Fire and the new solo band, I am all about rediscovering who I am, bracing my different sides and blending it together into one package. Throughout it all, the goal r ains the same: to honor the music he's been living his whole life, and to add his own page to New Orleans' history book.

Chaka Khan's unmistakeable voice and musical versatility have made her one of the most influential musicians of the past six decades, with an estimated 70 million records sold. Whether fronting the band Rufus or performing as a solo artist, she's moved effortlessly between funk, soul, jazz, and pop, creating era-defining hits including I'm Every Woman, Ain't Nobody and I Feel For You. She grew up in Chicago, in an artistic family where she was surrounded by music. As a teenager, she became involved with the Affro-Arts Theater, where she was given the Yoruba name Chaka, and a political awakening led her to join the Black Panther Party. By her late teens, she had joined Rufus, whose breakthrough hit Tell Me Something Good launched the band to international success and marked the beginning of her recording career. She has since won 11 Grammy Awards, including a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2026, been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and collaborated with some of music's modern greats, including Stevie Wonder, Miles Davis, Joni Mitchell and Prince. Chaka lives on a farm in Georgia, surrounded by family.DISC ONE: What Is and What Should Never Be - Led Zeppelin DISC TWO: Good Times - Aretha Franklin DISC THREE: Tomaas - Miles Davis DISC FOUR: California - Joni Mitchell DISC FIVE: Tell Me Something Good - Rufus, Chaka Khan DISC SIX: A Woman in a Man's World - Chaka Khan DISC SEVEN: Cool Water - Joni Mitchell (duet with Willie Nelson) DISC EIGHT: Precious Is Your Name - Richard Smallwood featuring Chaka Khan BOOK CHOICE: The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran LUXURY ITEM: A gigantic sandalwood and oud candle CASTAWAY'S FAVOURITE: Precious Is Your Name - Richard Smallwood featuring Chaka Khan Presenter: Lauren Laverne Producer: Hannah Hufford & Tim BanoDesert Island Discs has cast away other music legends to the island over the years including Nile Rogers and Cher.

Join Randy and The Calgary Crue (Jon Garner / Brett Miles) as they celebrate the 40th Anniversary of Judas Priest's 10th studio album 'Turbo', released April 7, 1986 and Iron Maiden's 6th studio album ‘Somewhere in Time', released September 29, 1986, with an epic BR&RNR 'Bar Fight'.While both British heavy metal titans concurrently pivoted to guitar synthesizers to modernise their sound, their executions resulted in starkly different legacies. Judas Priest did a conscious dive into radio-friendly glam metal and pop-infused hooks and Iron Maiden made a futuristic, progressive masterpiece that used technology to deepen its atmosphere rather than simplify its structure.Plus, we dive into the raw and controversial Paul Di'Anno documentary, discuss Iron Maiden's original singer and his complicated legacy, debate the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and react to the surprise Ritchie Blackmore and Deep Purple reunion.Expect strong opinions, plenty of laughs, classic heavy metal arguments and absolutely no shortage of rock 'n' roll bullshit.

Aretha Franklin was the Queen of Soul, and one of the most remarkable singers of the 20th century. At various points in her life she sang gospel, jazz, blues, R&B, pop, rock and roll, folk, Broadway, and even opera classics. She also managed to sustain her career for six decades. It's hard for anyone to compete with that. This episode contains very short clips of two of Aretha's songs. I believe these to be fair use because they are very short and this episode is for education. If that is not the case, the copyright holders may contact me and I will remove them.

Bobby’s ’90s country countdown rolls into 1992, a year where Billy Ray Cyrus turned “Achy Breaky Heart” into a full-on phenomenon, Garth Brooks kept dominating everything, and George Strait took country to the big screen with Pure Country. Bobby also gets into major albums from Mary Chapin Carpenter, Vince Gill, Joe Diffie, Randy Travis, and Wynonna, plus Alan Jackson’s run of number ones, Johnny Cash joining the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and big Opry moments for Travis Tritt and Marty Stuart. Along the way, he shares past conversations with artists like Billy Ray, Joe Diffie, Randy Travis, and more while also looking back at The Real World, the Dream Team, the Los Angeles riots, and the parts of 1992 that stretched far beyond country music.

Few voices are as instantly recognisable as Colin Blunstone's. As the lead singer of The Zombies, he helped define the sound of the British Invasion with timeless classics including She's Not There, Tell Her No, Time of the Season and the landmark album Odessey and Oracle. More than six decades later, Colin continues to tour the world, record new music and perform with the same unmistakable voice that first captivated audiences in the 1960s.In this episode of A Breath of Fresh Air, Colin shares the extraordinary story behind one of rock's most influential bands. He explains how The Zombies came together through little more than chance, why Rod Argent almost remained the band's lead singer, and how She's Not There became a worldwide hit despite a chaotic recording session. Colin reflects on the realities of life during the British Invasion, revealing why hit records didn't necessarily mean financial success and how the original band ultimately dissolved while still enjoying international acclaim.The conversation also explores Colin's remarkable solo career, including his brief period recording as Neil MacArthur, the success of Say You Don't Mind, his years with Elton John's Rocket Records, working alongside Alan Parsons and Dave Stewart, and the unexpected legal battle that temporarily stalled his career. Colin opens up about returning to live performance after more than twenty years away, the reunion with Rod Argent that led to the rebirth of The Zombies, and the band's emotional induction into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame.Along the way, Colin discusses maintaining his voice into his eighties, the discipline required to continue performing at the highest level, overcoming self-doubt despite decades of success, and why he still believes nobody in the music industry truly knows what tomorrow will bring.If you love classic rock, the British Invasion, timeless songwriting and honest conversations with legendary artists, this episode offers a rare opportunity to hear the remarkable story behind one of music's most distinctive voices.And ... if you're in any of these cities make sure you go see The Zombies live!Sep 2 Somerville TheatreSomerville (Boston), MA The Fixx, Colin Blunstone, and Peter AsherSep 4 Count Basie Center for the ArtsRed Bank, NJSep 5The ParamountHuntington (Long Island), NYSep 6 United TheatreWesterly, RISep 8 Tupelo Music Hall Derry, NHTSep 10 Adler Hall New York Society for Ethical Culture New YorkSep 11 Keswick Theatre Glenside (Philadelphia), PASep 12 Warner TheatreWashington, DCSep 13 he Kent StageKent, OHSep 15 Uptown TheaterMinneapolis, MNSep 17 Genesee Theatre Waukegan (Chicago), ILSep 18 The Ludlow GarageCincinnati, OHSep 19 Barrymore Theatre Madison, WISep 21 DeVos Performance HallGrand Rapids, MISep 23 Brown County Music Center NashvilleSep 26 College Street Music Hall New Haven, CTSep 27 Santander Performing Arts Center Reading, PASep 29 RIT Performing Arts CenterRochester, NYTSep 30 Troy Savings Bank Music HallTroy, NY

Dolly Parton died on August 25, 2026, at age 80. While most tributes are focused on the music, this episode looks at something else entirely: Dolly Parton the businesswoman and entertainer. She sang at the Grand Ole Opry at 13 and was still building her empire seven decades later, which is rare in an industry where most acts have a five-to-ten-year run. As we like to say around here, success leaves clues, and Dolly left a lot of them. Below are 12 lessons pulled from her career, each one translated into something a podcaster can actually use.Take Advantage of Opportunities When They Show UpIn the late 1960s, a teenage Dolly landed a spot on the syndicated Porter Wagoner Show, earning $60,000 a year — by her own account, more money than she'd ever seen. She could have stayed comfortable as Porter's sidekick. Instead, she used the platform to build her name, and when she'd gotten what she needed from it, she left in 1974 to build something that was actually hers. Wagoner threatened to have her dropped from her label and later sued her; she ended up paying roughly $1 million to settle it, and the relationship took years to repair before the two eventually reconciled (American Songwriter, Cheat Sheet).Why it matters for your podcast: your show builds relationships, those relationships create opportunities, and taking advantage of those opportunities (a guest slot, a speaking gig, a collaboration) is what grows your audience — which creates more relationships. It's a loop, and it only works if you actually act when the opportunity shows up.Build a Podcast Brand People Instantly RecognizeYou knew Dolly when you saw her. Her wig, the rhinestones, the exaggerated glamour, her boobs, wasn't an accident. She said she based it on the town's "tramp."Dolly's response: I wanted to look like her. I thought she was beautiful. Her best line, "It costs a lot of money to look this cheap" says it all. When Barbara Walters pushed her on it in a 1970s interview, essentially implying she looked like a hillbilly, Dolly shot back that she might "kick her in the shin" and laughed the whole way through it.Why it matters for your podcast: a distinctive brand gets you noticed once. Celebrity, a striking name, a bold visual that earns the first click. What earns the return listener is the talent and substance behind it. Dolly had both, and so should your show.Own Your Audience — Don't Rent It to a PlatformDolly wrote "I Will Always Love You" in 1973 as a farewell to Porter Wagoner. When Elvis wanted to record it in 1974, his manager Colonel Tom Parker demanded the publishing rights as a condition for Elvis to record it. This was a standard (crappy) practice for an Elvis cut at the time.Dolly said no, even though it was Elvis. Nearly two decades later, Whitney Houston's version spent 14 weeks at No. 1 and sold an estimated 20 million copies. Because Dolly still owned 100% of the publishing, that single song brought her roughly $10 million in royalties in the 1990s alone, and an estimated $20 million total from the Houston version according to Forbes (American Songwriter).Why it matters for your podcast: As fellow podcaster Steve Stewart puts it, "Don't sell your audience to your sponsor, sell your sponsor on the value of your audience." The same logic applies to platforms: own your website, your domain, and your email list so no single network or app can take your audience away from you. It happens — YouTube pulled a top parenting podcast off the platform entirely (before reinstating it after public pressure). Dolly held onto her publishing because she knew the long game mattered more than a quick win. Hold onto your feed the same way. This is why an RSS feed is important. You can't be cancelled, and you can easily move to a new host if needed.Don't Take Yourself Too SeriouslyLong before a critic could land a joke, Dolly had already made it herself. On plastic surgery: "If I see something sagging, bagging, or dragging, I'm going to have it nipped, tucked, or sucked." Even the announcement of her passing carried her sense of humor forward, joking that she was finally ready to trade the rhinestones for something more comfortable.Why it matters for your podcast: self-deprecating humor makes an audience like you more. If you can laugh at yourself — a mistake, dated gear, a rough first episode — listeners relax and warm up to you faster. Have fun with your show. Otherwise, you'll burn out on it.Be Consistent — It Builds TrustDolly reportedly slept in her makeup in case she had to get up in the middle of the night for an emergency, because she never wanted to be seen without it. More importantly, she was always, unmistakably Dolly be it on stage or off, in an interview or in a duet, across 70 years of performing. People who met her said what you saw on stage is exactly what you got in person.Why it matters for your podcast: consistency isn't just about your publishing schedule (though that matters too) — it's about your output staying recognizably you. A listener who hasn't tuned in for six months should know exactly what they're getting the moment they hit play.Know Your WhyDollywood already existed under a couple of generic names before Dolly bought into it in 1986. She didn't just license her name and collect a check — she built it to bring jobs to her hometown region in Tennessee, rooting the business in something true about her instead of something generic and scalable. Today it generates an estimated $180–580 million a year, with her stake alone valued around $165 million.Why it matters for your podcast: plenty of celebrities slap their name on a generic product — a tequila brand, a theme park, a template — and it doesn't work because the "why" isn't real. If you're just copying someone else's show format and putting your name on it, it's probably not going to land. Know why you're actually doing this.Secondly if you put your name behind it, it better be a positive reflection of you (think about this when it comes to sponsors). If you say a product is great, and your audience buys it and it's not, they won't buy anything else from you as your integrity is shot.Experiment With New Formats Without Losing Your IdentityDolly moved from country into pop in the '70s (9 to 5 and more), then made the bluegrass albums she couldn't make earlier in her career because they were "too niche" — as she put it, "I had to get rich so I could come back and sound poor" (BrainyQuote). She went into TV, movies, and near the end of her life a Broadway musical. It was based on her own story, for which she wrote much of the score (so you could say she liked to stay busy).She initially tried to withdraw her name from Rock and Roll Hall of Fame consideration, saying she hadn't "earned that right," then was inducted anyway and leaned all the way in, dueting with Judas Priest's Rob Halford at the ceremony (Rolling Stone, Fox News). She later recorded "Please Please Please" with Sabrina Carpenter — a genre-crossing pairing where each artist's fans discovered the other (Rolling Stone).Why it matters for your podcast: every new genre, format, or collaboration was still unmistakably Dolly. That's the model — try new things, but stay recognizably yourself. And notice the audience-sharing angle: pairing with an artist (or podcaster) who has an adjacent audience introduces you to people who'd never have found you otherwise.

What You Will Learn In this episode, you will discover how the most powerful experiences are engineered around a single shared emotional trigger that lives in both the audience and the brand simultaneously. You will learn why most corporate and museum experiences entertain without transforming, and what business leaders must do differently. Guest Bio Bob Rogers is the founder of BRC Imagination Arts, a globally recognized experience design firm with 44 years of work spanning presidential libraries, cultural institutions, and major brand homes. His projects include the Abraham Lincoln Presidential Library, the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, the Jameson Distillery experience in Dublin, and the nine-story Johnnie Walker Princes Street experience in Edinburgh. Rogers began his career in the magic shop at Disneyland, an experience that permanently shaped his philosophy on identity transformation. His forthcoming book, Deep Story, distills decades of award-winning methodology into a practical framework any leader can apply. Website: BobRogers.com | Company: BRCweb.com Episode Summary Bob Rogers joins Michael Levitt on the Breakfast Leadership Show to discuss his forthcoming book, Deep Story, releasing September 8th. Rogers traces the origins of his approach to his days in the Disneyland magic shop, where he discovered that the most meaningful part of a demonstration was not impressing the audience but shifting their perception of what they themselves were capable of. For 44 years, BRC Imagination Arts has been designing permanent experiences for iconic institutions and brands. The defining question his firm asks is not whether visitors were entertained, but whether the experience changed what they do next. The conversation explores the core mechanism of Deep Story: finding the same pre-existing emotional trigger in both the audience and the subject, then building the entire experience around that common thread. Rogers argues this is what separates experiences that permanently alter behavior from those that simply produce a pleasant afternoon. The most resonant experiences cause people to feel that their own inner life is being articulated more clearly than they could manage themselves. Rogers also reflects on why he wrote the book, citing mentors such as Marty Sklar and Buzz Price, Disney Imagineering giants who invested in him early. He describes the book as paying that generosity forward to the next generation of leaders. Key Insights Transformation requires a target. Most organizations spend enormous resources creating experiences without defining the specific behavioral change they want to produce. Deep Story begins with that definition and works backward. The shared emotional trigger is the architecture. It is about locating the same emotional truth that already exists in both the audience and the brand, then making that overlap the structural foundation of everything. Identity shift is the highest outcome. The most powerful thing an experience can do is cause someone to see a new possibility in themselves. Entertaining is not transforming. Memorability and enjoyment are not the metric. The metric is whether the visitor leaves prepared to act differently.

LISTEN TO THE VERY ENDWelcome to Infinite & Brick, the no-guest podcast where Infinite and Brick go deep on music—from forgotten gems to modern debates—without anyone getting in the way of the conversation.In this episode, they spin through a wide mix of topics, starting with 80s and 90s genres that time seemed to bury—the sounds that were everywhere, then slowly vanished from the mainstream feed. They also connect the dots between Pink Floyd and Black history, exploring the cultural threads, influence, and context many listeners may never have been taught to notice.Next, they break down what's behind the music in your ears: how we hear music, what's actually happening in your brain and body when you press play, and why some tracks hit differently depending on your setup, your volume, and your environment. Then it's a practical showdown—wired vs Bluetooth headphones—from audio quality and latency to comfort, convenience, and real-world listening.Finally, they look ahead to the year's headlines with the 2026 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductees, putting each nomination in perspective and discussing why these legacy choices matter, who they represent, and what it might mean for the future of music culture.So hit play, lean back, and let Infinite & Brick guide you through the wild, underrated, and endlessly fascinating world of sound.We would LOVE to hear what you think.

Dolly Parton has died at the age of 80, leaving behind an extraordinary catalogue of music—and a legacy of kindness, generosity and humanity.In this personal tribute, I reflect on Dolly's connection with my late mum, who introduced me to country music, and how I gradually discovered that country and heavy metal were often singing about the same people, struggles and hopes.Dolly gave us timeless songs including “Jolene,” “Coat of Many Colors,” “9 to 5” and “I Will Always Love You.” Yet her legacy reaches far beyond music.Inspired by her father, who was unable to read or write, Dolly created the Imagination Library. It has now provided more than 300 million free books to children around the world. She also funded scholarships, supported families who lost their homes in the 2016 Tennessee wildfires and donated millions of dollars to medical research.I also look at how Dolly built bridges between musical worlds—from singing “Jolene” with Judas Priest's Rob Halford at the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame to making Rockstar with artists including Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Elton John, Stevie Nicks, Joan Jett and Peter Frampton.Dolly Parton showed us that music can cross genres, generations, backgrounds and beliefs. She also demonstrated that kindness is not a weakness. Kindness is a superpower.This video is dedicated to Dolly's family, friends and fans—and to everyone whose life was made a little better by her music or generosity.Please share your memories of Dolly Parton and the songs that have meant the most to you in the comments.Rest in peace, Dolly, and thank you for everything.Phil AstonNow Spinning MagazineMusic is the healer and the doctor.

Before stadium tours, platinum albums and Rock and Roll Hall of Fame recognition, John Kay was simply a young refugee searching for a better life. Music became his escape, his identity and ultimately the vehicle that carried him from the hardships of post-war Europe to the front of one of the most influential rock bands of all time.In this episode of A Breath of Fresh Air, host Sandy Kaye welcomes the legendary singer, songwriter and founding member of Steppenwolf for a deeply personal conversation about the remarkable life behind one of rock's most recognisable voices.Born in East Prussia during the closing months of World War II, John spent his earliest years amid conflict and uncertainty. His family fled advancing Soviet forces before eventually escaping communist East Germany and building a new life in Canada. Those formative experiences shaped his resilience, independence and determination long before music entered the picture.John recalls discovering rock and roll as a teenager and finding inspiration in the blues, folk and early rock artists who would influence his own distinctive style. He shares how those early musical ambitions led to the formation of Steppenwolf in Los Angeles, where the band quickly became one of the defining acts of the late 1960s with its raw sound, powerful songwriting and unforgettable performances.The conversation explores the creation of timeless classics including "Born to Be Wild," "Magic Carpet Ride," "Rock Me," "The Pusher" and "Monster," songs that helped shape the soundtrack of a generation. John reflects on how "Born to Be Wild" became forever linked with the landmark film Easy Rider, transforming it into a global anthem of freedom, adventure and rebellion. He also explains how the famous lyric "heavy metal thunder" unexpectedly became part of rock music history, helping to popularise a phrase that would define an entire genre.Beyond the music, John offers thoughtful insights into songwriting, creativity and the realities of life in one of the world's biggest rock bands. He discusses the pressures of fame, the changing music industry and why staying true to his artistic principles has always been more important than chasing commercial success.John also speaks passionately about his lifelong commitment to wildlife conservation and environmental causes, revealing another side of the man behind the music. His dedication to protecting the natural world has remained just as important as his musical legacy, demonstrating that his influence extends well beyond the recording studio and concert stage.This conversation is more than a look back at Steppenwolf's extraordinary career. It's the story of perseverance, reinvention and the enduring power of music to transcend borders, generations and cultures. Whether you've been a fan since the 1960s or you're discovering Steppenwolf for the first time, John's remarkable journey is every bit as compelling as the songs that made him famous.If you enjoy hearing the stories behind the artists who created the soundtrack of our lives, subscribe to A Breath of Fresh Air for more in-depth conversations with the legendary musicians who continue to inspire audiences around the world.

Grammy award winning singer and songwriter, Neil Diamond has been writing and performing his music for over 50 years. He has sold more than 130 million albums worldwide, composed movie soundtracks, and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Despite a Parkinson's disease diagnosis, in May of this year he released a new album, Wild At Heart. Diamond's songs appeal to his fans as much for their themes as for their melodies, lyrics, or his guitar renditions. He sings of relationships, faith, and feelings - from joy to loneliness to love. Neil Diamond's song, “I am … I said” expresses a young man's feelings of being lost and lonely. This Sunday, we will reflect on how this song applies to the feelings of the young son in the Parable of the Prodigal Son and the feelings of being lost, of loneliness, joy and love present in Diamond's music and the parable. So I invite you to join us as we listen to the music of Neil Diamond and consider his music, the relationships in the parable, God, and the message for us today.

On this episode of And Now We Drink, Matt Slayer sits down with industry veteran, actor, producer, radio host, and horror filmmaker James Bartholet for a wild, tangent-filled conversation that moves from old-school talk radio to modern  industry realities, award-show culture, and the glory of grindhouse cinema. James reflects on his decades in broadcasting, what he learned from the talk radio era, and why live caller interaction can be both a ratings boost and a minefield. He also dives into his current slate of projects, including Scissors Chapter Two, Murder Motel, horror convention appearances, and his long-running show Inside the Industry with James Bartholet. Along the way, he shares behind-the-scenes stories from low-budget horror sets, including a chocolate syrup blood gag that went very wrong Matt and James get candid about the changing economics of  entertainment, from VHS box covers and fan conventions to tube sites, OF, performer expectations, parasocial relationships, and whether performers could ever realistically unionize. They also talk about the importance of respecting performers at conventions and supporting the work you enjoy. The conversation swerves into Hollywood memories, including Joan Rivers, Keanu Reeves, River Phoenix, Britney Murphy, the Viper Room, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame debates, disappearing Los Angeles landmarks, Red Lobster biscuits, dating dealbreakers, and why being present for real conversation still matters. It's funny, nostalgic, blunt, and unmistakably And Now We Drink.     Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

He talks about his time at the Bodhi Tree Bookstore in his memoir, Touched by the Presence.This was the spark for our discussion — but, as conversations do, this one took on a life of its own.Support the Podcast & Learn Astrology!Ready to take a deep dive into astrology?

What happens when we step out in faith but start to sink? In his final episode of “Rev'd Up for Sunday”, John Kennedy joins Peter Walsh and Elizabeth Garnsey to explore Jesus walking on water, Peter's risky leap of faith, and what this story reveals about fear, failure, spiritual growth, and the surprising gentleness of Jesus. Along the way, the clergy reflect on the making of a disciple and the journey that continues even when it's time to say goodbye.Questions for Further DiscussionThemes & ApplicationWater can symbolize chaos, danger, and the unknown, while the boat has traditionally been an image of the Church. What might this story teach us about the purpose of Christian community when the world around us feels turbulent or uncertain?Peter emphasizes the courage it takes for Peter to step out of the boat, while Elizabeth wonders whether he ever needed to leave it because Jesus was already coming toward him. What can these two interpretations teach us about the difference between taking a faithful risk and trusting God to meet us where we already are?John suggests that Peter begins to sink when fear and self-consciousness redirect his attention away from Jesus. How can fear, anxiety, or excessive self-consciousness prevent us from becoming the people God is calling us to be?Personal Reflection QuestionsPeter's impulsiveness can lead him into trouble, but that same energy also enables him to take courageous steps that the other disciples do not. What quality in yourself have you sometimes regarded as a weakness that might also contain a gift?The conversation contrasts Jesus' gentleness with the harsh internal voice that tells us, “You can't do that,” “You're weak,” or “You're bad.” When you fail or make a mistake, which voice are you more likely to hear? How might you learn to recognize the gentler voice of Christ?Peter's spiritual development happens through repeated moments of courage, misunderstanding, failure, forgiveness, and growth. Looking back on your own life, where can you recognize ways you have changed spiritually that you could not see while the change was happening?Broader Spiritual ConsiderationsThe clergy suggest that failure is not an interruption of Peter's discipleship but actually part of how he becomes a disciple. How might the Church change if Christians treated failure as part of spiritual formation rather than something to hide or feel ashamed of?Peter introduces Jung's idea of the shadow, suggesting that qualities we suppress or “domesticate” may contain powerful energies that need to be integrated rather than eliminated. How might Christian spirituality help us bring our whole selves before God rather than dividing ourselves into acceptable and unacceptable parts?John reflects on St. Mark's and the podcast as communities that helped form him, often in ways he only recognized afterward. What role do communities play in shaping our faith, identity, and vocation? Can a place remain spiritually “home” even when we are called to leave it?References & ResourcesBooksThomas Keating, Crisis of Faith, Crisis of Love ThinkersCarl Jung (the shadow and integration of the psyche)Sigmund Freud (id, ego, and superego)Alan Watts (self-consciousness and the centipede analogy)MusicQUOTE: Leonard Cohen, “There is a crack, a crack in everything That's how the light gets in.” from AnthemRed Hot Chili Peppers, 2012 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction (Josh Klinghoffer joined the Chili Peppers in 2009 and was inducted with the band in 2012, becoming, at the time, the youngest-ever Rock & Roll Hall of Fame inductee.)Film, Television, & Popular CultureThe Odyssey (2026)Looney Tunes (Wile E.

Jerry, along with Phunne Stone and The Family Stone, will perform in Myron's at The Smith Center August 8, bringing the legendary music of Sly & the Family Stone to a new generation of fans. Jerry shares what has fueled his remarkable career for more than six decades and why he's determined to "bop till I drop." He reflects on growing up with Sly Stone, watching his childhood friend become a popular Bay Area DJ, and witnessing the birth of a musical revolution when Sly assembled Sly & the Family Stone in December 1965. Jerry recalls believing from the very beginning that Sly was a musical genius, reveals that the band's first performance together was in Las Vegas, and remembers how entertainment legends regularly packed their shows. The conversation also explores the band's surprising love of country music, the artists who inspired Jerry—including Ray Charles and Billy Preston—and how Sly & the Family Stone forever changed popular music by blending rock, funk, soul, and R&B into a groundbreaking sound. From timeless classics like "Dance to the Music," "Everyday People," and "Hot Fun in the Summertime" to behind-the-scenes stories few fans have ever heard, this episode is a celebration of music, friendship, innovation, and a legacy that continues to inspire generations.
