Join Here: https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0KThe latest Notorious Mass Effect segment examines Zach Bryan's bold sixth studio album, With Heaven on Top, released January 9, 2026, via Belting Bronco/Warner Records. Hosted by Analytic Dreamz, this in-depth review covers the 25-track project (runtime ~78 minutes), entirely written and produced by Bryan in Tulsa-area Oklahoma homes, blending raw Americana, folk, and outlaw country with themes of sobriety, recovery, marriage, past relationships, loss, addiction, fatherhood doubts, and American identity tensions.Just three days later, on January 12, Bryan dropped a 24-track acoustic version—raw, one-take recordings with intentional imperfections—to counter overproduction critiques, preserving his authentic roots. Standout tracks include "Skin" (addressing his 2023–2024 breakup with Brianna “Chickenfry” LaPaglia, tattoos, and sobriety), "Plastic Cigarettes" (emotional depth), "Runny Eggs" and "Camper" (softer nods to his New Year's Eve 2025 marriage to Samantha Leonard in Spain), and the controversial "Bad News" (politically charged ICE references and fading American dream).Critical reception praises Bryan's vulnerability and storytelling—Rolling Stone calls it his "most considered and accomplished," Pitchfork notes his growth on a "larger canvas" (7.0 rating), while others highlight emotional power amid excessive length causing fatigue. The album reinforces Bryan's status as a generation-defining force in Americana, post-Navy service (honorably discharged 2021), with massive catalog success (~$350M sale in 2025), billions in streams, and a 2026 stadium tour featuring MJ Lenderman, Dijon, and Alabama Shakes.Analytic Dreamz breaks down personal reflections, buzz tracks, controversies, and why With Heaven on Top delivers an unflinching portrait of flux in modern life, solidifying Bryan's raw honesty despite debates over sprawl.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/analytic-dreamz-notorious-mass-effect/donationsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

#1 New York Times bestselling author Dean Koontz spoke with me about his secret desire to run away with the carnival, struggling as a young writer, finding his voice, the evolution of his process, and his latest novel THE FRIEND OF THE FAMILY. International bestselling author Dean Koontz was a senior in college when he won an Atlantic Monthly fiction competition. He has never looked back. Koontz has written over 120 novels, been published in over 38 countries, and sold an incredible 500 million copies to date. His masterful suspense thrillers, which blend science fiction, horror, crime and comedy, have earned him worldwide acclaim–and 14 hardback #1 NYT bestsellers–making him one of only a dozen writers to achieve that milestone (incl. One Door Away From Heaven, From the Corner of His Eye, Midnight, Cold Fire, The Bad Place, Hideaway, Dragon Tears, Intensity, Sole Survivor, The Husband, Odd Hours, Relentless, What the Night Knows, and 77 Shadow Street). His latest novel, The Friend of the Family, is described as the story of “A girl liberated from a carnival sideshow [who] discovers her mysterious purpose in a moving novel about family, sacrifice, and transcendent love…” Dean Koontz has been hailed by Rolling Stone as “America's most popular suspense novelist,” and The New York Times has called his writing “psychologically complex, masterly and satisfying.” Many of his books have been made into films.

It doesn't always come dressed in darkness; sometimes it comes dressed in melody. A scream, a guitar riff, a soft harmony, a song you grew up loving. We're told it's just music, but Scripture tells us there is no neutral ground in the spiritual war. From Ghost to Slipknot to DevilDriver; from Jay-Z, Lil Uzi Vert, or NWA; from KISS to The Beatles to The Rolling Stones—different generations, different styles, the same spiritual fingerprint. As Ice Cube said when accepting NWA's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, “Rock and roll is a spirit.” That spirit could sound like rage or angst, or he'll come at you with what sounds peaceful, but the destination and the piper leading you there always remain the same.

In the early summer of 1984, seventeen-year-old Gary Lauwers was murdered by his friend Richard “Ricky” Kasso in the small Long Island suburb of Northport, New York. Lauwers was stabbed more than thirty times in the attack and his body showed signs of what appeared to be torture. The death itself was shocking to the tiny community of Northport, but the details that emerged in the wake of Kasso's arrest would shock the entire nation.ReferencesBreskin, Davkd. 1984.

When Taylor Swift Taylor Swift's latest album, “The Life of a Showgirl,” dropped, a swarm of internet haters voiced their loud and out-of-left field opinions about it. A couple months after the drop, though, reporting from Rolling Stone revealed that the conversation around Taylor's album being a problematic flop was driven largely by bots. This tactic, called astroturfing is the same one Taylor's friend Blake Lively has alleged was used against her by Justin Baldoni. This is particularly pertinent, because “The Life of a Showgirl,” has a track, “Cancelled!” about Lively's own cancellation. Who was really behind this astroturfing campaign, and what does this situation tell us about the internet and our own susceptibility to influence? Joining Tess for an examination of the bot campaign and a close read of the “Cancelled!” lyrics are Joe Romm and Antonia Romm, hosts of the “Decoding Taylor Swift” podcast. Read Rolling Stone's “Taylor Swift's Last Album Sparked Bizarre Accusations of Nazism. It Was a Coordinated Attack,” by Miles Klee.

The Breakfast Club (1985) was chosen by Patreon supporter Lucky LouLou Green, and it stands as one of the defining films of 1980s American cinema. Written, produced, and directed by John Hughes, the movie was made during an incredibly prolific period for the filmmaker, as he reshaped teen movies with a more honest, character-driven approach. Shot on a modest budget of around $1 million, the film was produced quickly, with Hughes deliberately stripping away flashy set pieces to focus on dialogue, performance, and atmosphere. Principal photography took place at Maine North High School in Des Plaines, Illinois — a real, unused school that Hughes would return to multiple times throughout his career.The production schedule was famously short — just 28 days — and Hughes encouraged collaboration, allowing the young cast to contribute ideas and personal experiences to their roles. Several moments of dialogue were improvised or rewritten on set, helping give the film its natural, conversational feel that set it apart from other teen movies of the era. Composer Keith Forsey provided the now-iconic soundtrack, perfectly capturing the mood of mid-80s youth culture. Upon release, The Breakfast Club became both a commercial and cultural success, cementing Hughes' reputation and turning its cast into defining faces of a generation. Today, the film is widely regarded as a landmark of 1980s filmmaking — proof that a small budget, a single location, and strong creative confidence can produce something timeless.
En août 2019, Jean-Alphonse Richard consacrait une émission à Daniel Balavoine. 40 ans après sa disparition, RTL vous propose de redécouvrir cet épisode. Daniel Balavoine a toujours été un homme en quête de vérité. Dès son plus jeune âge, il a ressenti l'appel de la musique comme une nécessité vitale. Dans cet appartement modeste, les murs résonnaient des voix des Beatles et des Rolling Stones, des mélodies qui allaient nourrir son âme rebelle. Ses parents, bien que peu musiciens, ont toujours encouragé Daniel à exprimer ses émotions à travers ses chansons. Puis, il y a eu ces voyages, ces rencontres marquantes qui ont forgé son caractère. Les années 70 voient émerger un Balavoine prêt à conquérir le monde, avec des textes puissants et une voix qui ne laisse personne indifférent. À 20 ans à peine, il sait déjà que la scène est son terrain de jeu, un espace où il peut enfin être lui-même.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

In today's episode of The Real Stuff, I'm sitting down with Samantha Diamond, CEO and co-founder of Bird & Be, a company born out of her personal experience with PCOS, pregnancy loss, and the deep gaps in reproductive health education. Despite being married to an OB/GYN, Samantha realized she still didn't understand her cycle, fertility window, or the silent struggles that so many women face—until she became one of them.We talk candidly about how hormonal birth control masked her PCOS for years, her experience with pregnancy loss and infertility, and why fertility is not just a woman's issue (hi, sperm!).We also discuss the shame and confusion so many couples face while trying to conceive, and how she used her background in beauty and CMG to build a company that's changing the game for modern fertility support.Bird&Be offers everything from at-home fertility tests to prenatals for both men and women, but this episode isn't just about products; it's about empowerment. Samantha opens up about the emotional toll of TTC, how the packaging of fertility products made her feel unseen, and why redefining pregnancy culture is so important.Whether you're navigating PCOS, thinking about your fertility future, or supporting someone through a difficult season, this conversation is for you.Visit birdandbe.com and use code REALSTUFF for 15% off your first purchase.Follow Samantha on IG: @startupmammaWatch this episode in video form on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLjmevEcbh5h5FEX0pazPEtN86t7eb2OgX To apply to be a guest on the show, visit luciefink.com/apply and send us your story.

In this episode of Reading Is Funktamental, we discuss the long history and profound influence of a single song, “Hey Joe,” a tune that binds nearly every strand of 20th-century American popular music. “Hey Joe” was written sometime in the early 1960s by a man named Billy Roberts, an obscure singer and guitarist from South Carolina who moved to New York City, drawn by the burgeoning folk music scene in Greenwich Village. It was a time when original material was scarce, leading other singers to quickly adapt quality songs in the spirit of folk music's oral traditions. Thus began the long journey of “Hey Joe” from New York coffeehouses to the bars on L.A.'s Sunset Strip to the ears of a young guitarist named Jimi Hendrix, who launched his career with his radical, electrified interpretation. The story is related by Jason Schneider, author of That Gun In Your Hand, a new book that also presents previously unpublished information about the life of Billy Roberts, a shadowy figure whose 2017 death went unreported by all news outlets.

The endocrine system consists of eight major organs that produce and regulate hormones, the chemical messengers that keep the body in balance. Hormones quietly orchestrate everything from our energy and metabolism to mood, sleep, and resilience, acting as an internal communication network that responds to stress, environment, and lifestyle. From cold plunges and saunas to endocrine-disrupting chemicals, even small daily inputs are said to shift this delicate signaling. How does stress really affect our bodies? Does “adrenal fatigue” exist? Is it actually possible to “biohack” our hormones?In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Priya Jaisinghani, MD, ABIM, DABOM, a triple board-certified Endocrinology, Obesity Medicine, and Internal Medicine physician from New York City.Dr. Jaisinghani received her MD from Rutgers/Robert Wood Johnson Medical School, where she also completed her Internal Medicine Residency, Endocrinology and Obesity Medicine Fellowships at Weill Cornell Medicine.

Prisons have frequently been presented as a “solution” to the economic woes and employment needs of rural communities around the US—but that doesn't mean residents of these communities want them there.

In this episode of Rattling the Bars, host Mansa Musa speaks with Lauren Gill, a staff reporter from Bolts magazine, and Natalie Cadena, executive director of the Arkansas-based rural advocacy nonprofit Gravel & Grit, about the fight in Franklin County and rural America's changing relationship to the prison-industrial complex.

Bad Bunny is heading into the biggest stretch of his career so far, and this past week the news cycle around him has been intense on two fronts: massive milestones and a major lawsuit.Music and industry outlets report that he is celebrating the one-year anniversary of his album Debí Tirar Más Fotos just as he approaches the 2026 Grammy Awards with six nominations, including Album, Record, and Song of the Year, making him the first Spanish‑language artist to be up for all three at once. According to coverage in lifestyle and culture press, that album is only the second Spanish‑language project ever nominated for Album of the Year, after his own Un Verano Sin Ti, turning his presence at the Grammys into a symbolic moment for Latin music on the global stage.Spotify's newsroom notes that Debí Tirar Más Fotos was the platform's Global Top Album of 2025, and to mark its anniversary they've launched special playlist cover-art stickers themed around the record's visuals, with Puerto Rico references and characters from the album's world. Social and analytics firm Meltwater adds that in 2025 Bad Bunny was Spotify's most‑streamed artist worldwide, with nearly 20 billion streams and over 12 million media mentions across traditional and social media, driven by the album, his Met Gala appearance, a world tour announcement, and the reveal that he would headline the Super Bowl halftime show.Sports and entertainment sites like Marca are reminding listeners that in less than a month he will lead the Apple Music Super Bowl LX halftime show at Levi's Stadium in Santa Clara. The show is being framed as one of the most anticipated cultural moments of 2026, with the NFL betting on his global pull to help expand its international audience. Pop‑culture outlets such as Dazed are already listing that performance among the year's defining music events, and rumor pieces circulating on newsbreak-style platforms and Vice mention speculation that Drake could appear as a surprise guest, reviving their “MÍA” collaboration on one of the world's biggest stages.At the same time, legal news has broken that could cast a shadow over these celebrations. Law-focused sites and mainstream outlets including The Independent, Rolling Stone, and Billboard report that a woman named Tainaly Y. Serrano Rivera has filed a lawsuit in Puerto Rico seeking at least $16 million. She alleges her recorded phrase “Mira, puñeta, no me quiten el perreo” was used without proper consent on two tracks: Solo de Mi from X 100pre and EoO from Debí Tirar Más Fotos, and then woven into live shows and merchandise as part of Bad Bunny's brand. Legal commentary notes that she is represented by the same legal team that previously sued on behalf of his ex‑girlfriend Carliz De La Cruz in another voice‑recording dispute, and that this new case raises broader questions about informal recording practices and personality rights in Puerto Rico's law. Vice and others point out that the timing is especially sensitive, landing just weeks before his Super Bowl appearance; his camp has not publicly commented yet, and the court has called for responses later this year.On social media over the last few days, fan conversations have swung between hyping possible Super Bowl set lists, speculating about special guests, trading Spotify anniversary graphics and stickers, and debating the fairness and implications of the new lawsuit. Analytics coverage from Meltwater suggests that controversy around his tour and now the lawsuit can actually fuel visibility, even as it sparks criticism, and that his cultural authenticity and focus on Puerto Rico remain central to why these moments resonate so strongly.That's the latest on Benito Antonio Martínez Ocasio, better known as Bad Bunny: a week where Grammy history, streaming dominance, and Super Bowl pressure collide with serious legal questions about voice, consent, and ownership.Thank you for tuning in, and come back next week for more.

1984 (stylized in Roman numerals as MCMLXXXIV) is the sixth studio album by American rock band Van Halen, released on January 9, 1984.[2] It was the last Van Halen studio album until A Different Kind of Truth (2012) to feature lead singer David Lee Roth, who left the band in 1985 following creative differences. This is the final full-length album to feature all four original members (Van Halen brothers, Roth, and Michael Anthony), although they reunited briefly in 2000 to start work on what would much later become 2012's A Different Kind of Truth.[3] Roth returned in 2007, but Eddie's son Wolfgang replaced Anthony in 2006.[2] 1984 and Van Halen's debut are Van Halen's best-selling albums, each having sold more than 10 million copies in the United States.[4] 1984 was well received by music critics. Rolling Stone ranked the album number 81 on its list of the 100 Greatest Albums of the 1980s. It reached number two on the Billboard 200 and remained there for five weeks, kept off the top spot by Michael Jackson's Thriller, on which guitarist Eddie Van Halen made a guest performance. 1984 produced four singles, including "Jump", Van Halen's only number-one single on the Billboard Hot 100; the top-20 hits "Panama" and "I'll Wait"; and the MTV favorite "Hot for Teacher". The album was certified Diamond by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in 1999, signifying ten million shipped copies in the U.S. 1984 track listing Side one No. Title Length 1.

Rock and roll is not rock and roll without a beat. John Lingan's new book, BACKBEATS: A History of Rock and Roll in 15 Drummers (Scribner; Publication date: November 11, 2025) is an electrifying journey through the history of rock and roll, told through the lives of fifteen iconic drummers and their percussion rivals-from John Bonham and Charlie Watts to Ringo Starr and Questlove.Rock and roll thrives on rhythm, but the drummers who drive that pulse often stay in the shadows. In BACKBEATS, acclaimed music historian John Lingan brings these unsung heroes into the spotlight, delivering a fascinating journey through six decades of rock history.Lingan's deep research and vivid storytelling explores the lives of fifteen pathbreaking drummers and their fellow timekeepers-men and women who together laid down the beat of an era. From Bernard Purdie's legendary work with Aretha Franklin to Dave Grohl's funk- and punk-indebted swing for Nirvana, these drummers redefined what was possible in pop music. Iconic figures like Ringo Starr, whose inventive style transformed the Beatles, and Charlie Watts, the steady backbone of the Rolling Stones, take center stage. But Lingan doesn't stop there-he also shines a light on Hal Blaine, the backbone of the LA studio scene's "Wrecking Crew," groundbreaking, underappreciated talents like Maureen Tucker of The Velvet Underground, whose minimalist beats rewrote the rulebook, and Sam Lay, a pivotal figure in rock's evolution from the blues.Packed with insider stories and exclusive interviews-from Robert Plant's reflections on Led Zeppelin's legendary sessions to revered recording engineer Steve Albini's behind-the-scenes accounts-BACKBEATS offers an eye-opening glimpse into some of rock's most unforgettable moments, including the seismic shift of Bob Dylan going electric at Newport, James Brown's explosive creation of funk in the late sixties, and Slayer's role in the birth of LA thrash metal in the early eighties.More than just a tribute to an unrecognized group of virtuosos, this book is a love letter to the art of drumming itself. BACKBEATS shows how these remarkable artists not only kept the beat but drove rock and roll forward. It's a must-read for any music lover, offering a fresh and thrilling perspective on a story we only thought we knew.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

What happens when you discover your partner has over $400,000 in student loan debt and they didn't even know it existed?In today's audience caller episode of The Real Stuff, I'm sitting down with Brittany, a listener who bravely came on the podcast to share one of the most raw, honest, and financially transparent stories we've ever featured.Brittany opens up about putting herself through college after her parents divorced, graduating with $100,000 in student loan debt, and spending her 20s working nonstop to pay it off while attending a private university surrounded by students from much wealthier families. She had a clear financial plan for her life: get her master's degree, become debt-free before 30, and feel financially secure before starting a family… then she met her now-husband.One night, lying in bed scrolling on her phone, Brittany discovered something that completely changed the course of their relationship. The student loan debt her partner believed was around $200,000 was actually more than $400,000, and she was the one who had to uncover it, piece it together, and tell him the truth.In this episode, Brittany shares exactly how she found the debt, what it felt like to confront the person she loved most, and why this discovery shattered her sense of trust, security, and honesty in their relationship. We talk about why this wasn't just about money, but about transparency, reliability, and the emotional weight we attach to financial independence. She opens up about how she processed everything, the guilt and shame she felt for questioning her relationship because of money, and how unsupported she felt when others minimized her concerns.What makes this conversation especially powerful is Brittany's willingness to be incredibly specific. We talk REAL numbers — student loan balances, salaries, mortgage payments, rent, savings, and the sacrifices required to pay off hundreds of thousands of dollars in debt without letting it completely control their lives. Brittany also shares how navigating debt reshaped their relationship, became the foundation of their marriage, and ultimately forced them to redefine what success and happiness really look like. We also talk about family planning, having their first baby, choosing to leave a three-bedroom house with a low mortgage to live in a one-bedroom apartment in the NYC area, and why she's never been happier — proving that happiness and fulfillment don't always come from traditional financial milestones.If you've ever felt ashamed about debt, questioned a relationship because of money, or struggled to balance financial goals with actually living your life, this conversation will make you feel far less alone.Brittany has recently begun building a platform called Be Loan Wise, focused on helping others navigate the emotional and financial sides of student loan debt.

Listen. I know I released this already ,but for some reason it didn't come out on Apple Podcasts so I am releasing it again to see if that works. This is the episode from when we still enjoyed the podcast so much that we were adding episodes and for this one we covered Rolling Stone's list of the greatest rock Christmas songs of all time. It has the first 12 days of Christmas songs on it and is not a bad episode but we were all up to our elbows with family stuff and Pink Floyd does not exactly scream HOLIDAY CHEER so have a go with this one. If you already heard this on spotify or youtube (freak), just download it again and make us feel good.
Longtime friends David Silver and Raghu Markus discuss Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche and the legacy of Dzogchen maintained by his four sons.Grab a copy of Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche's memoirs, Blazing Splendor, for a deeper look into his magnificent life. This time on Mindrolling, Raghu and David have a discussion about:The life and teachings of Tulku Urgyen Rinpoche, one of the greatest Dzogchen meditation masters of the 20th centuryTulku Urgyen Rinpoche's sons and how they continue to spread Dzogchen wisdom to the WestCore principles of Dzogchen philosophy, including the nature of mind and nondual awarenessUnderstanding cognitive emptiness and the illusion of a solid identityWhy contemplating death and impermanence can be a path to liberationWorking consciously with loss and mortality before the end of lifeNot falling into the trap of believing this life is permanentViewing dreams and meditation as parallel practices for awakeningThe patience and discipline required to form new spiritual habitsLiving fully while recognizing the inevitability of deathLearn about dealing with the bardo of dying in the book In Love with the World by Yongey Mingyur Rinpoche or hop into The Bardo Guidebook by Chokyi Nyima RinpocheAbout David Silver:David Silver is the former co-host of the Mindrolling podcast. He is a filmmaker and director, most recently coming out with Brilliant Disguise. Brilliant Disguise tells the unique story of a group of inspired Western spiritual seekers from the 60s, who in meeting the great American teacher, Ram Dass, followed him to India to meet his Guru, Neem Karoli Baba, familiarly known as Maharaj-ji. Two days before he left his body, Maharaj-ji instructed K.C. Tewari to take care of the Westerners, which he did resolutely until the day he died in 1997. Silver's #1 charting MGM/UA/Warners film, “The Compleat Beatles” is the critically acclaimed biopic movie about history's most famous band. The term ‘rockumentary' was first applied to this two-hour movie. Rolling Stone recently described the film as a “masterwork.” Silver's Warner Brothers' feature film, “No Nukes” also started the whole trend of music/activism feature documentaries. “Urgyen and his sons and all Dzogchen people believe that dreaming is as important as meditating. Dreams are fluid, anything can happen in a dream. You can fly, you can walk through a wall. What Mingyur says is that is the perfect analogy for life itself; life is as fluid and as transparent as that dream, but we don't know it because we think it's solid because we can't put our finger through our hand.” –David SilverSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
In 2025, the state of Montana voted for Trump by nearly 20 points. But Montanan's support for the president is waning because of the administration's policies on public lands. To unpack the effects of DOGE cuts to public land agencies, host Esty Dinur is joined by journalist Cassidy Randall, author of a recent article, ‘I Didn't Vote for This': A Revolt Against DOGE Cuts, Deep in Trump Country. Randall says that the DOGE cuts that started last February are bad for public lands beyond the national parks. In Montana, people use public lands for recreation and public land agencies engage in wildfire mitigation and habitat restoration. Ranchers rely on grazing allotments because most ranches aren't big enough to graze all their livestock. In Project 2025 there are plans to sell off and privatize private lands. Randall says that if you hollow out the agencies that manage them, it becomes an excuse to sell them off. “When we lose these places, they're gone forever.” Though Montana leans conservative, the people are pro-environment, and the right to a “clean and healthful environment” is written into the state's constitution. And young people are winning climate lawsuits based on their constitutional rights. On top of the DOGE cuts, people in Montana are concerned about tariffs and the Trump administration's relationship with Argentina. They also discuss how the ultra wealthy are turning to Montana as their playground, the crisis of rural hospitals in the state, and healthcare affordability. Cassidy Randall writes on adventure, environment, and the West. Her award-winning journalism has appeared in Rolling Stone, National Geographic, the New York Times, Vanity Fair, Outside, and Men's Journal, among others; and her latest book, Thirty Below, was named one of The Washington Post's Noteworthy Books of the Month and won the Banff Mountain Grand Prize.
