Podcasts about roots

Writer and ecologist Sophie Strand thinks at a scale that can feel dizzying—in the best way. In a single conversation, she can move from the chemical structure of cells to mushroom spores, from ancient weather gods to mycorrhizal fungi, from Bronze Age collapse to the slow intelligence of soil.In this episode of Wonder Cabinet, we talk with Strand about wonder that doesn't float upward but roots downward—into bodies, ecosystems, decay, and deep time. We begin with her essay “Your Body Is an Ancestor,” published shortly before Halloween and the Day of the Dead, and follow her imagery into our shared prehistoric past. The conversation also explores how Strand's experience of chronic illness reshaped her understanding of nature, selfhood, and health. Rather than seeing the sick body as broken, she turns to ecological metaphors: spider webs, soil structures, caterpillars dissolving inside cocoons. What might it mean to understand ourselves not as machines that fail, but as landscapes that change?Along the way, we talk about fantasy and “romantasy,” Tolkien, Harry Potter, Dramione fan fiction and communal storytelling rituals. This is a conversation about wonder with dirt under its fingernails: embodied, mythic, ecological, and deeply alive to the cycles of death and regeneration that bind us all.---Substack: "Your Body is an Ancestor": https://sophiestrand.substack.com/p/your-body-is-an-ancestorSophie Strand's website:  https://sophiestrand.com/You can follow her work on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/cosmogyny/Follow her on Substack:  https://substack.com/@sophiestrandOrder her memoir:  https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/sophie-strand/the-body-is-a-doorway-a-memoir/9780762487417/?lens=running-press---Chapters:00:00:00 Meet Sophie Strand00:04:34 Body as Ancestor00:10:08 Roots of Sin00:18:21 Spores and Consciousness00:27:49 Stories We Can't Explain00:35:39 Science as Wonder---If you love Wonder Cabinet, sign up for email updates and never miss an episode. https://wondercabinetproductions.com/

In the United States, the stoicism and importance of the “working class” is part of the national myth. The term is often used to conjure the contributions and challenges of the white working class – and this obscures the ways in which Black workers built institutions like the railroads and universities – but also how they transformed unions, changed public policy, and established community.  In Black Folk: The Roots of the Black Working Class (LIveright, 2023), Dr. Blair LM Kelley restores the Black working class to the center of the American story by interrogating the lives of laundresses, Pullman porters, domestic maids, and postal workers. The book is both a personal journey and a history of Black labor in the United States from enslavement to the present day with a focus on a critical era: after Southern Emancipation to the early 20th century, when the first generations of Black working people carved out a world for themselves. Dr. Kelley captures the character of the lives of Black workers not only as laborers, activists, or members of a class but as individuals whose daily experiences mattered – to themselves, to their communities, and to “the nation at large, even as it denied their importance.” As she weaves together rich oral histories, memoirs, photographs, and secondary sources, she shows how Black workers of all genders were “intertwined with the future of Black freedom, Black citizenship, and the establishment of civil rights for Black Americans.” She demonstrates how her own family's experiences mirrors this wider history of the Black working class – sometimes in ways that she herself did not realize before writing the book. Even as the book confronts violence, poor working conditions, and a government that often legislated to protect the interests of white workers and consumers, Black Folk celebrates the ways in which Black people “built and rebuilt vital spaces of resistance, grounded in the secrets that they knew about themselves, about their community, their dignity, and their survival.” Black Folk looks back but also forward. In examining the labor and challenges of individuals, Dr. Kelley sheds light on reparations and suggests that Amazon package processing centers, supermarkets, and nursing homes can be spaces of resistance and labor activism in the 21st century. Dr. Blair LM Kelley is the Joel R. Williamson Distinguished Professor of Southern Studies at the University of North Carolina-Chapel Hill and incoming director of the Center for the Study of the American South, the first Black woman to serve in that role in the center's thirty-year history. She is also the author of Right to Ride: Streetcar Boycotts and African American Citizenship in the Era of Plessy v. Ferguson from the University of North Carolina Press. Dr. Kelley mentions Dr. Tera W. Hunter's To ‘Joy My Freedom: Southern Black Women's Lives and Labors After the Civil War, Duke University's Behind the Veil oral history project, and Philip R. Rubio's There's Always Work at the Post Office: African American Postal Workers and the Fight for Jobs, Justice, and Equality. Learn more about your ad choices.

Everybody loves an origin story, this week's podcast has two. Featuring clips from our first episode, before the podcast even had a name, with our first guest, Fred Goodwin, a.k.a. Mr. Risk, we talk about the formative years of both the medium and the messenger. As his retirement nears, we look back over Fred's long career as a trader, salesperson and strategist, and the many lessons learned along the way, especially on how to think about markets at their extremes. In detailing how his contrarian outlook was formed, we bring a strong sense of history to bear in thoughts on the current trends in gold, the US dollar, the Japanese yen and global equities.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The gap between being great in college and thriving as a pro is smaller than a square of grass, and that's exactly where Tommy McCabe lives. We sit down with the Oakland Roots midfielder to unpack how a backyard obsession, a London childhood, and the Jersey hotbed launched a journey through youth national teams, Notre Dame, MLS, and the USL Championship. Tommy brings calm clarity to a noisy landscape: the right path isn't a league acronym, it's the daily training environment that pushes you while helping you belong.We dive into the core pro separators, awareness, scanning, and first touch, and why the game gets tighter and faster with every level. Tommy explains how to keep the ball and structure under pressure, how to master the basics without boredom, and why decision-making starts with seeing the right picture before the ball arrives. From there, we talk culture: the best clubs build environment, connection, and belonging. He shares candid insights on roster turnover, improving USL contracts, and the delicate balance between opportunity and stability that shapes a season and a career.Curious about MLS vs USL differences, player lifestyle, and what promotion and relegation could mean for the American game? Tommy offers a measured view rooted in player welfare and professional standards while still embracing the excitement of higher stakes. We also look ahead to Oakland's potential on and off the field, training at the former Raiders facility, and turning a historic stadium into a fortress. If you care about player development, coaching, and what truly makes a professional, this conversation will sharpen your lens.If this resonated, follow and subscribe, share it with a teammate or coach, and leave a review to help more people find the show.

It depends on who you ask. Until recently empathy was generally considered a positive thing. But a growing number of mostly conservative voices believe empathy can be extremely dangerous — even toxic. Their argument is that empathy can drive irrational thinking and behaviour in public life. The result is a growing battle over empathy in a world that has never seemed to need it more. If you like this podcast, you may want to listen to this: Why practicing empathy is far from simple.Guests in this podcast:Matt Richins – neuroscientist and psychologist, who did research on empathy at Exeter University, UK.Susan Lanzoni – author, historian of psychology, psychiatry, and neuroscience and professor at Harvard's School of Continuing EducationMary Gordon – founder of Roots of Empathy program, TorontoMichael Slote – author, philosopher and professor of ethics at the University of MiamiMargaret Davidson – Roots of Empathy classroom facilitator, Chiganois ElementaryKourtney Simms – Chiganois Elementary teacherEllie – Grade 1 student, Chiganois Elementary

If you've ever felt like your to-do list keeps growing even when no one is actually asking anything of you… like everything somehow turns into a demand the moment it enters your awareness, this episode is for you. We're going to talk about something called demand sensitivity: why pressure can feel so intense and how to start shifting out of 'should mode' so your life feels lighter and more intentional. In this episode, you will learn: What demand sensitivity is and why pressure feels so intense How "should mode" creates overwhelm, guilt, and resistance How to start shifting your relationship with demands so you feel more ease and choice   Mentioned in Episode:

Desert Roots and Gospel GoalsMatthew and Daniel Leo grew up in the Middle East, where sunbaked streets doubled as soccer fields and neighbors quickly became family. Their childhood was filled with the rhythms of daily life, including shared meals, local traditions, and long afternoons chasing a ball through the dust. With parents devoted to humanitarian work, the brothers were immersed in a life of service and shaped by a deep love for people, culture, and faith that would stay with them wherever they went.Now students at Cedarville University, the brothers lace up their cleats as members of the University's soccer team. But if you ask them, they'll tell you their identity goes far deeper than their roles on the field or in the classroom. As they shared recently on the Cedarville Stories podcast, they see themselves first and foremost as children of God — young men whose purpose isn't just to win games but to live lives that reflect Christ.Matthew shared how his identity as a follower of Jesus isn't something he sets aside when he steps onto the field. When he's playing in front of a crowd or pushing through a tough match, his faith remains central to who he is. The way he competes, responds to pressure, and carries himself flows from that deeper commitment. For him, soccer isn't separate from his spiritual life; it's another place where his walk with Christ is lived out.Daniel followed with a heartfelt message for those who may not yet know Christ. He encouraged listeners to explore the Bible with an open heart, describing it as a powerful collection of stories about real people — flawed, broken, and often struggling — who encountered God's grace. Through those stories, he explained, there's a clear picture of hope, redemption, and purpose. Both brothers emphasized that a life shaped by faith is not about perfection but about daily trust and living in a way that reflects something greater than themselves.Their future plans? The Leo brothers hope to return to the Middle East after graduation to continue the work their parents started. They want to invest in people, love their neighbors, and serve in a region they still call home.In a world often driven by status or stats, Matthew and Daniel's story is refreshingly simple and deeply inspiring: two brothers chasing a ball, loving deeply, and running toward a calling far greater than themselves.https://share.transistor.fm/s/aa08bb61https://youtu.be/m9WnRUATlJE

What if the sequence we've always assumed—plaque causes arterial stiffness—is actually backwards? Dr. Lily Johnston proposes that impaired nitric oxide signaling may stiffen arteries first, creating the endothelial injury that then promotes plaque formation.Dr. Lily Johnston is a board-certified vascular surgeon and newly certified obesity medicine physician who bridges the operating room and metabolic medicine. After years of scraping plaque from arterial walls, she began questioning why surgical outcomes remain so modest—and discovered that what she was treating might represent the end stage of multiple distinct disease phenotypes, not a single condition.In this episode, Dr. Johnston shares her forest fire analogy for understanding LDL risk, explains why tissue surrounding diseased arteries shows profound inflammation even in first-time surgeries, and reveals why 80–90% of the operations she performs could potentially be prevented with upstream metabolic intervention.Questions Answered in This Episode:Do metabolically healthy people with elevated LDL need the same treatment as those with active disease?Why might someone with "great" biomarkers still have significant plaque burden?What will individualized cardiovascular treatment look like in 20 years?To what extent is vascular disease a metabolic disease—and is this accepted in vascular surgery?Where do you stand on the LDL particle number vs. metabolic context debate?What percentage of vascular surgeries could have been avoided with earlier metabolic intervention?A surgeon's-eye view of what happens when metabolic dysfunction goes unaddressed for decades—and a practical framework for intervening before the fire starts.Find more of Dr. Johnston online:Live Q&AYoutube channelLinkedInCoresight HealthSpecial thanks to the sponsors of this episode:✅ Genova Connect – Get 15% off any test kit with code METABOLICLINK here.✅ Toups and Co – Get 15% off your first order with code METABOLIC here.✅ Troscriptions – Get 10% off your first order with code METABOLICLINK here.✅ MudWtr – Get up to 43% off + free shipping and a free rechargeable frother with code METABOLICLINK here.In every episode of The Metabolic Link, we'll uncover the very latest research on metabolic health and therapy.

Is this one of the best or worst method or repertoire books for learning to play acoustic fingerstyle blues guitar? You can learn to play music using a variety of resources including teachers, online resources, and books. Roots and Blues Fingerstyle Guitar Explorations by Steve James is a hybrid repertoire/method book for learning to play fingerstyle and bottleneck blues.  This book is suitable for late beginner to advanced fingerstyle players but is best for intermediate players.  I would definitely not recommend this book for complete beginners – it starts out too hard for inexperienced fingerstyle players.  The book offers some technical advice as well as fun historical anecdotes and quotes. There are a bunch of fingerstyle blues books on the market, and I would generally not recommend this book over some of the others.  On the positive side of things, this book excels in its material focused on open tunings and bottleneck slide.  If you watch the included videos, you'll see that the author is an incredible bottleneck slide player, and that is reflected in these chapters.  On the other hand, I do not like multiple things about this book. The difficulty progression isn't very smooth – the book starts out with some difficult (late beginner/intermediate) tunes, and then the difficulty varies from tune to tune.  Part of this is because the open tuning arrangements (starting in the middle of the book) are a bit easier to play. There aren't a lot of exercises.  There are some, but this is more of a repertoire book with analysis and technical advice in the text. I'm not a fan of the way that Acoustic Guitar Magazine lays out their books.  They don't integrate their text and playing examples.  Instead of text that prepares you for an example, then the example, then more text, then the next example, etc., they usually have the text in a big block, and that text will refer you to the examples which are together in another block.  It requires more jumping back and forth for the reader.  It's not the end of the world, but it's not my favorite. Late-beginner fingerstyle players could utilize Roots and Blues Fingerstyle Guitar Explorations as a supplement to a traditional method book: A general fingerstyle method like Alfred's “Beginning Fingerstyle Guitar,” or A more focused method like Bruce Emery's “Travis-Style Guitar from Scratch.” Roots and Blues Fingerstyle Guitar Explorations provides both treble clef and tablature for each arrangement.  Neither fretting nor picking hand fingering is provided in the music, but it is sometimes mentioned in the separate text.  You can usually tell which notes should be played with your thumb by looking at the treble clef – bass notes generally have down stems.  Regardless, the skill of choosing sensible fingering is important, and you will need to look elsewhere to further develop this skill. Videos demonstrating the examples are available online.  These are great.  For me, it was especially helpful while working through the bottleneck slide chapter. © 2014 by Steve James. Produced by String Letter Media in association with the Acoustic Guitar Magazine. My own books: Fingerstyle Blues Guitar: An In-Depth Study of the 12-Bar Blues in E Major – Books 1 and 2 are available in paperback or as an eBook through Amazon [https://a.co/d/g7Udsso (Book 1) and https://a.co/d/aDbh4H0 (Book 2)].  The first priority of these books is to quickly get you playing a solo instrumental 12-bar blues, and then to build on it until you can freely improvise or “jam.” You should be up and running by the end of the third chapter, and each following chapter will add icing on the cake.

George Fisher, the Judge John Crown Professor of Law at Stanford Law School, just released his new book Beware Euphoria: The Moral Roots and Racial Myths of America's Drug War, with Oxford University Press. George has been teaching and writing in the realms of evidence, prosecution practice, and criminal legal history since 1995. He began practice as a prosecutor in Massachusetts and later taught at the law schools of Boston College, Harvard, and Yale. Beware Euphoria is the most recent among a slew of other books, articles, and essays that he's published over the years, and perhaps the most contrarian. In this interview, George discusses his research methods and how he came to the conclusion that the history of America's drug war, while racially motivated, was not meant to target minorities, but protect the morals and health of America's white youth. Emily Dufton is the author of Grass Roots: The Rise and Fall and Rise of Marijuana in America (Basic Books, 2017). A drug historian and writer, her second book, on the development of the opioid addiction medication industry, is under contract with the University of Chicago Press. Learn more about your ad choices.

Listen to the full episode Simone Weil was skeptical about the project of “rights.” They argued that obligations come before rights, and that rights only become real when obligations are recognized and lived.  Weil believed the French Revolution made a foundational error by grounding society in rights rather than eternal obligations, creating a contradiction that still haunts liberal democracies today. Rights, Weil argues, carry a bargaining spirit and ultimately depend on force for enforcement, while obligations arise unconditionally from the mere fact of another person's vulnerability. You owe something to others not because they've asserted a claim, but because they exist. Drawing from Weil's posthumous The Need for Roots, Matthew unpacks their critique of liberal rights discourse: that modern societies undermine their own moral claims by prioritizing abstractions over duties.

Raphaell shares how he got his start in the outdoor world, how his time in the military helped shape who he is today, and why the outdoors continues to be such an important part of his life. We talk about breaking stereotypes, staying true to who you are, and finding community in spaces where you may not always see people who look like you. This episode is all about shared passion, respect for the outdoors, and showing that the love for hunting, fishing, and the outdoor lifestyle runs deeper than labels.

Long before we consciously think about it, we're already making choices. How much to push. When to stay quiet. What feels possible — and what feels off-limits. Most of those decisions aren't random. They're guided by beliefs we've been carrying for years, often without realizing where they came from.This episode of That Greenwich Life is an invitation to slow down and examine those beliefs — especially the ones LIMITING us. So many of the limits we accept as “just the way things are” aren't rooted in truth at all. They're inherited, learned, and reinforced until they feel immovable. But they don't have to be.My guest, Sarah Sadie Newett, is the founder of SSN, an award-winning movement practice studio in Westport that has built a deeply devoted community of people who return week after week — not just for physical results, but for transformation. She has decades of professional experience as a dancer and aerialist and has performed alongside artists including Lady Gaga, The Roots, and Lil' Kim. She has collaborated with major wellness and fashion brands such as Max Mara, Alo Yoga, Rhone, and Beyond Yoga. Through movement and her own journey of sobriety, Sarah helps people challenge long-held assumptions about their bodies and abilities, creating space for confidence, trust, and possibility. Whether working with athletes, creatives, mothers, or high-performing professionals, her clients consistently leave feeling capable of far more than they imagined.This episode is about more than physical flexibility or strength. It's about what becomes possible when beliefs change — not just in thought, but in practice. Because when your beliefs evolve, the way you move through your life evolves with them.Thank You to Our Sponsors: • RMA of New York — our Season 2 Presenting Sponsor and leading fertility care provider • Jack Rabbits Gymnastics and Soccer Club — a beloved children's movement and enrichment space helping kids build confidence, coordination, and joy through play • Room for Paws Pet Resort — a trusted, full-service pet resort providing exceptional care and peace of mind for families and their furry family membersLet's Connect!If this episode inspired you, please follow, rate, and review That Greenwich Life so more women can find these conversations.

What if the real issue isn't what you're producing, but what's producing you?In this message, Roots Before Results, Pastor Talaat McNeely challenges the habit of focusing on outward behavior while ignoring the deeper work God wants to do in the heart. Teaching from Luke 6:43–45, he reminds us that fruit never appears by accident. What shows up in our words, reactions, and attitudes is the result of what's been forming beneath the surface all along.This sermon goes beyond surface-level obedience and asks a more searching question: Who am I becoming under God's rule? You'll hear why managing appearances leads to exhaustion, why pressure reveals what's really stored inside us, and how God's goal is not just compliance, but formation.Pastor Talaat also speaks directly to the role of community, environment, and daily influences in spiritual growth, making the case that lasting change rarely happens in isolation. This episode is honest, pastoral, and deeply practical, inviting listeners to stop trying harder and start going deeper.If you've ever felt frustrated by patterns that keep repeating, or sensed God calling you beyond surface change, this message will meet you right where you are and point you toward real, lasting transformation.Listen now on The Purpose City Church Podcast.

Story Transcript:Ca: Amb el sol hivernal reflectint sobre les muntanyes cobertes de neu, el Monestir de Montserrat lluïa com un miratge celestial.En: With the winter sun reflecting on the snow-covered mountains, the Monestir de Montserrat shone like a celestial mirage.Ca: Les parets antigues reverberaven amb els càntics suaus dels monjos, mentre l'aire fresc portava el perfum dels pins i el murmuri distant dels campanars dels pobles proper.En: The ancient walls reverberated with the gentle chants of the monks, while the fresh air carried the scent of pines and the distant murmur of the bells from nearby villages.Ca: Era un lloc perfecte per a una trobada especial.En: It was a perfect place for a special meeting.Ca: Mireia caminava pels passadissos de pedra, deixant que els seus passos la guiessin mentre reflexionava sobre el passat.En: Mireia walked through the stone corridors, letting her steps guide her as she reflected on the past.Ca: Havia tornat de Londres fa poc, plena de ganes de trobar-se de nou amb les seves arrels i recuperar l'energia perduda entre els llibres d'art i les galeries angleses.En: She had recently returned from London, eager to reconnect with her roots and regain the energy lost among art books and English galleries.Ca: Els seus pensaments es van interrompre quan va veure Oriol i Laia esperant-la davant d'una petita cafeteria del monestir.En: Her thoughts were interrupted when she saw Oriol and Laia waiting for her in front of a small café at the monastery.Ca: Oriol, amb delantals encara mig coberts de farina, mantenia un somriure acollidor i obria els braços per abraçar-la.En: Oriol, with aprons still half-covered in flour, wore a welcoming smile and opened his arms to embrace her.Ca: "Mireia!En: "Mireia!"Ca: " va exclamar, fent-la sentir com si mai haguessin passat tants anys.En: he exclaimed, making her feel as if no time had passed.Ca: Al seu costat, Laia, amb energia radiant, li va entregar una bufanda feta a mà, verda com els pins que envoltaven el lloc.En: Next to him, Laia, radiating energy, handed her a handmade scarf, green like the pines surrounding the place.Ca: "És per mantenir-te càlida i recordar-te la terra a la qual pertanys," va dir Laia amb un somriure.En: "It's to keep you warm and remind you of the land you belong to," said Laia with a smile.Ca: Van seure junts al voltant d'una taula de fusta vella, compartint un te calent que escalfava l'ànima.En: They sat together around an old wooden table, sharing hot tea that warmed the soul.Ca: Entre rialles i records dels dies d'escola, Mireia se sentia alhora feliç i atrapada per una vena de nostàlgia.En: Between laughter and memories of school days, Mireia felt both happy and caught by a vein of nostalgia.Ca: Els seus amics semblaven haver avançat tant.En: Her friends seemed to have moved on so much.Ca: Oriol, buscant quelcom més enllà de la seva cuina, volia donar-li un gir a la seva vida.En: Oriol, seeking something beyond his kitchen, wanted to add a twist to his life.Ca: Laia, sempre activa en causes ambientals, desitjava canviar el món una acció a la vegada.En: Laia, always active in environmental causes, wished to change the world one action at a time.Ca: El temps va passar ràpidament, i aviat van decidir caminar plegats fins al cim de la muntanya.En: Time passed quickly, and soon they decided to walk together to the mountain top.Ca: Mentre pujaven, el silenci de la natura els envoltava, oferint moments per reflexionar.En: As they climbed, the silence of nature surrounded them, offering moments for reflection.Ca: Quan van arribar al cim, observaven el paisatge silent i captivador.En: When they reached the summit, they observed the silent and captivating landscape.Ca: Mireia, amb les emocions a flor de pell, finalment

Luis Gutierrez got pulled into California and Kansas gangs at a young age after a rough childhood that set him on a violent path. In this episode, Luis tells the full story of how a crime that resulted in the murder of his close friend led him to turn down an 11-year plea deal and receive life in prison, sending him into some of Kansas' most brutal and dangerous maximum-security prisons. He shares raw, uncensored stories from inside those prisons, the violence he witnessed, and the mindset required to survive decades behind bars. Luis also opens up about the redemption that changed his life in prison, the steps he took to earn a real chance at freedom, and an unexpected love story after meeting a prison staff member who ultimately lost her job over their relationship. Today, Luis runs a successful nonprofit and tattoo shop, using his past to help others avoid the same mistakes and prove that even a life sentence doesn't have to be the end of the story. _____________________________________________ #PrisonSurvival #KansasPrison #PrisonLife #TrueCrime #LifeInPrison #PrisonStories #SurvivingPrison #incarceration _____________________________________________ Thank you to WARBY PARKER for sponsoring this episode: Our listeners get 15% off plus free shipping when they buy two or more pairs of prescription glasses at https://warbyparker.com/LOCKEDIN — using our link helps support the show. #WarbyParker #ad _____________________________________________ Connect with Luis Gutierrez: http://www.redemptionanimalrescueks.com _____________________________________________ Hosted, Executive Produced & Edited By Ian Bick: https://www.instagram.com/ian_bick/?hl=en https://ianbick.com/ _____________________________________________ Shop Locked In Merch: http://www.ianbick.com/shop _____________________________________________ Timestamps: 00:00 First Days in Prison & Early Survival 01:11 Life After Prison: Redemption Inc, Second Chances & Animal Rescue 04:46 Childhood, Family, and the Roots of Trauma 09:30 Moving States, Gangs, and Juvenile Arrests 13:30 The Turning Point: Tragedy, Charges, and Sentencing 20:11 First Time in Prison: Violence, Fear, and Reality Setting In 28:42 Prison Politics, Gang Life, and How to Stay Alive 39:39 Solitary Confinement, Prison Mentors, and Learning to Adapt 48:47 Life in Segregation: Art, Mental Survival, and Trauma 59:39 Drugs in Prison, Relationships, and a Shift in Mindset 01:12:10 Prison Dog Programs, Redemption, and Meeting Melissa 01:23:53 Preparing for Freedom, Relapse Risks, and Setbacks 01:29:06 Facing the Parole Board and Fighting for a Second Chance 01:39:01 Life After Prison: Community Work, Business, and Giving Back 01:47:02 Family, Marriage, and Rebuilding Trust After Prison 01:51:01 Advice for At-Risk Youth and the Power of Redemption Learn more about your ad choices.

In this in-depth conversation, Darryl McDaniels sits down with Metal Walt to explore the heavy metal and hard rock roots that have been part of his musical identity since childhood. Growing up in New York City, DMC discovered rock and metal through radio, hearing bands like Black Sabbath and Judas Priest at a formative age. He explains how those sounds were already embedded in early hip-hop culture, from DJs digging through crates to the attitude and energy that shaped Run-DMC from the very beginning. The discussion revisits key moments such as “Rock Box” and “Walk This Way,” why rock was always part of Run-DMC's DNA, and how those records opened creative doors that still matter today. DMC also talks about his decision to actively create rock and metal music himself, leading to projects like HellRaisers and his 2026 solo metal single “She Gets Me High.” Additional topics include NYC hardcore roots, playing with Agnostic Front, sharing stages with Sammy Hagar, opening for Lou Reed, and how creativity, authenticity, and curiosity continue to guide his work. 00:00 Show Open & Pre-Roll Tease 04:23 What Music Sounded Like in DMC's House Growing Up 05:58 Discovering Rock on WABC and the First Metal Obsession (Black Sabbath) 09:11 Rock and Early Hip-Hop Culture — DJs, Crates, and Crossover 11:23 “Rock Box” and Why Rock Was Always in Run-DMC's DNA 14:16 “Walk This Way” — History, Impact, and the Permission Moment 25:25 When DMC Decided to Start Making Rock Music 28:10 DMC and the HellRaisers — Live Reactions and Reality 31:25 Rock DNA Across Classic Run-DMC Songs (King of Rock, It's Tricky, Mary, Mary, Why You Buggin') 36:17 “She Gets Me High” — DMC's Solo Metal Direction and Lineup 47:13 Hardcore Roots — Agnostic Front, NYC, and Underground Energy 56:22 Legacy, Creativity, and What DMC Is About Today 01:09:22 Wrap-Up & Where to Follow DMC Learn more about your ad choices.

This week on No Simple Road, we head north of the border to connect with Dylan Stone and Jesse Cobb from The Unfaithful Servants, the genre-bending roots outfit straight out of Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Blending folk, bluegrass, old-time, and a healthy dose of irreverent spirit, this band brings a sound that's as playful as it is deeply rooted. Aaron, Mel, and Apple sit down with the crew to talk about the origin of the band, the stories behind the songs, and what it means to build a musical life on an island where community and creativity go hand in hand. We dig into their songwriting process, the push and pull between tradition and experimentation, and how humor and honesty shape their approach to roots music. The conversation flows through touring life in Western Canada, the power of DIY scenes, and the importance of staying connected to the people who show up — night after night — to share the experience. The Unfaithful Servants reflect on how place influences sound, how collaboration fuels longevity, and why music is still one of the most powerful tools we have for connection. This episode is full of laughter, insight, and that unmistakable feeling you get when musicians are creating from a place of truth rather than trend. If you love roots music with edge, folk and bluegrass with personality, and discovering bands who are carving their own path, this one is for you.
