Jerry Portnoy grew up in Chicago hearing the blues being played outside his father's rug store on famed Maxwell Street during the late 1940s and early '50s.After dropping out of college, he became immersed in the colorful world of pool hustlers like Cornbread Red, and Minnesota Fats as he managed the largest pool hall in Chicago. During a stint as a paratrooper early in the Vietnam war, he applied for discharge as a conscientious objector, and lived in San Francisco during 1967's "summer of love." While bumming around Europe the following year, Portnoy heard the blues again on a record by Sonny Boy Williamson and instantly became obsessed with mastering blues harmonica.He returned to Chicago and in 1974 he was playing in small Black clubs at night when Muddy Waters plucked him from his day job at Cook County Jail to fill the historic harmonica chair in his fabled band. Eric Clapton followed suit in 1991. In a career that took him from ghetto taverns to the White House and the Royal Albert Hall, he went from the raggedy vans and cheap roadside motels of the blues world to the private jets and five-star hotels of the rock world. Between those two very different gigs was a struggle to survive the vagaries of the music business and the pressures of life on the road. In a remarkable life, he also assisted in surgery, lodged in a Moroccan house of ill repute, and dined at Giorgio Armani's.Dancing with Muddy details the surprising, lively, and sometimes bumpy ride of a blues harmonica legend. Dancing with Muddy: Muddy Waters, Eric Clapton, and My Lucky Life In and Out of the Blues is the memoir of Blues harmonica legend Jerry Portnoy, who details the surprising, lively, and sometimes bumpy ride of his life and career. Jerry was discovered and recruited by Muddy for the prestigious role of harmonica player in his band after hearing him play the instrument in clubs on Chicago's South Side. Jerry got to play in the White House, the Royal Albert Hall, and many of the world's stages. He also found himself in shocking and exciting situations, like assisting in surgery, dining at Giorgio Armani's and working at the Cook County jail.With Blues music seeing a renewed interest thanks to the immense success of the movie Sinners, Jerry can be a valuable insider voice to the genre's history and evolution. He lives on Cape Cod in Massachusetts.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

On this powerful episode of "The Watchdog," Lowkey sits down with Ahmed Alnaouq, a Palestinian writer, journalist, and co-founder of We Are Not Numbers—a collective that amplifies Palestinian voices through storytelling. Alnaouq joins from the U.K. to talk about his best-selling new book, "We Are Not Numbers," a humanizing collection of 74 stories written by 59 Palestinians, two of whom have since been killed during Israel's ongoing war on Gaza.Alnaouq speaks with urgency about the genocide unfolding in Gaza, the silencing of Palestinian voices, and why it is imperative to talk openly about Zionism—not as abstract theory, but as a lived reality. As he explains:“We Palestinians are the best equipped to talk about Zionism, because Zionism is a practice on us... We must talk about it!”The episode also revisits Alnaouq's viral confrontation with Piers Morgan, during which he dismantled the media narrative that framed the conflict as a religious war. Instead, Alnaouq sets the record straight:“This is not a religious war. It is a war between colonizers and colonized, between occupiers and occupied… It's not with the Jews.”With over 55,000 Palestinians—mostly women and children—killed in Gaza, and the United Nations warning of starvation and collapse, Alnaouq urges the world to act, speak out, and bear witness.We Are Not Numbers is available now and has already been translated into multiple languages.Watch the full interview on MintPress News and subscribe to The Watchdog for more conversations that challenge censorship, expose propaganda, and speak truth to power.Support the showThe Watchdog is 100% independent and listener-supported.

Sometimes, the best conversations happen when there's no agenda. This is one of those moments. With London as the backdrop — its history, energy, and unpredictable charm — Sean and I sat on the grass in Hyde Park and hit record. No script, no plan. Just two friends talking about music, memories, meditation, and why we still believe in experiencing things without a phone between us and reality.From yoga poses on park benches to tales of Clapton at Royal Albert Hall and an upcoming Oasis reunion in Cardiff (yes, really), this is a meandering mix of thoughts and stories — like walking down Portobello Road not knowing what you'll find. We touch on the lost art of being present, why live music changes everything, and how the UK's cultural influence shaped our creative paths.Sure, we dip into punk, rock, film, and a few philosophical musings about why Florence isn't featured more in books and movies — but it's all under one theme: reconnecting with the world around us. It's a conversation that could only happen in a place like London — rich with culture, memories, and endless possibility.If you're tired of content that's too polished, too planned, or too promotional… this episode is a breath of fresh (sometimes damp) British air.⸻Hashtags:#storytelling, #london, #musiclovers, #meditation, #unscripted, #podcastlife, #travelstories, #creativelife, #liveinthemoment, #punkrockNew episodes drop when they drop.

In this powerful and timely episode, Adam sits down with Olivier Award-winning director-turned-writer Mark Rosenblatt, the creative force behind Giant, the searing and sensational play that explores the genius and the darkness of Roald Dahl. Starring the legendary John Lithgow—who also took home an Olivier for Best Actor—Giant dives deep into the tangled web of brilliance, grief, controversy, and antisemitism that surrounded one of the world's most beloved and most complicated authors. Recorded in front of a live audience in central London to mark the 20th anniversary of The Heart Cells Foundation, this episode celebrates creativity, courage, and the quiet revolution of stepping into your truth. Just three days before filming, Mark received his own Olivier at the Royal Albert Hall, presented by Ewan McGregor and Elizabeth Debicki. In an emotional and honest conversation, he shares what it felt like to be recognised for his first-ever play and the journey that took him from self-doubt to centre stage. Mark reveals how the seed for Giant was planted when Sir Nicholas Hytner casually suggested he might try writing—an idea that sat dormant until lockdown gave him the space to bring it to life. Inspired by his own childhood love of Dahl's stories, and compelled by the writer's antisemitic remarks during the Lebanon War era, Mark began to unpick the moral complexity of Dahl's legacy. Rather than cancelling Dahl, Mark chose to examine him—with empathy, intellectual honesty, and a dramatic lens that lets the audience grapple with their own beliefs. We talk about the emotional weight of writing as a British Jew exploring antisemitism, the tension of launching a controversial play amid the Israel-Gaza conflict, and how Dahl's personal tragedies—from his daughter's death to his son's life-altering accident—informed both his work and Giant itself. With John Lithgow perfectly cast as Dahl (thanks to Hytner's inspired suggestion) and Elliot Levey winning Best Supporting Actor, Giant has become one of the most talked-about plays in the West End. A Broadway transfer is on the cards. This episode is a tribute to the healing power of art, the bravery of reinvention, and the impact of asking bold questions in a world that often demands easy answers. Special thanks to The Heart Cells Foundation for their incredible work and for hosting this unforgettable live event. www.heartcellsfoundation.com admin@heartcellsfoundation.com
In this powerful episode of "The Watchdog," host Lowkey speaks with Palestinian-American author and activist Susan Abulhawa about her firsthand experiences inside Gaza during the ongoing Israeli assault. As one of the few Western-based voices to enter the besieged enclave during the genocide, Abulhawa shares her deeply personal account of life under bombardment, the psychological toll of witnessing mass devastation, and the political cost of speaking uncomfortable truths in Western institutions.Abulhawa reflects on the eerie stillness of Gaza's ruins, the erasure of daily life, and the overwhelming sense of loss she encountered, both human and environmental. She also opens up about the backlash she faced upon returning to the West, including de-platforming, public smears, and institutional silencing, such as censorship from major academic venues like Oxford.This episode intersects witness, memory, and resistance, and why narratives like Abulhawa's are crucial to breaking the wall of manufactured silence surrounding Israel's actions in Gaza.Support the showThe Watchdog is 100% independent and listener-supported.

She made the choice to listen to the words of her song “Beauty of The Duty “saying “the only thing that holds you back is you”. Her song became a National success on the BBC radio 3 weeks later. Many of my other singles been playlisted with over 1000 radio stations in the UK and around the world.Performances include: the Royal Albert Hall, The National Arboretum, The Belgrade Theatre, Pizza on the Park, Pizza Express, The JW3, Electric Carousel, The Soho Revue Bar, the Forum (Kentish Town), Tate Britain to Celebrate William Blake's birthday,The House of Lords, opening a football match at the MK Dons Stadium.Music in Films: “Rotten Fruit” Windmills of Your Mind, and Man Who Sold the World.TV advert for Bell Atlantic, USA phone company.Her purpose in life is to inspire people to do what they love.“For me, Free Will is not just a song - it's a journey about resilience, commitment, and my life purpose to inspire people to make the best choices in life, have the courage to go for their dreams, never give up, and take every rejection to become better.”Find Tally Koren on all social media platforms @tallykorenGet your Jumpstart Journal here: http://subscribepage.io/YCauoKWork with me: www.karaleighgarrison.com/coaching
As the Listen like Thieves 40th anniversary album soars up the international charts, we unpack the June 24th, 1986 live concert which is brilliantly packaged and re-mastered onto the new release for fans to enjoy. The beautiful and historic Royal Albert Hall, opened to the public in 1871, has been the epicenter of British and international culture ever since. Hosting diverse acts and individuals ranging from Phantom of the Opera, Albert Einstein, The BAFTA's and sports, this 5272 capacity venue was intimate enough but large enough to capture INXS as they finally cracked fickle UK critics and audiences. With a setlist that leant on the recent triumvirate successes of Shabooh Shoobah, The Swing and Listen Like Thieves plus a few recent soundtrack releases, INXS captured that famous primal, propulsive and passionate urgency they were known for. With iconic footage on You Tube of the band's sound check and interview footage with Tim, Kirk and Michael sprinkled with their famous “ Nile Rodgers warmup song”, INXS fans are showered in nostalgic overdrive. So whether you're a downloader, vinyl operator or CD aficionado, do yourself a favour and turn your device up to 11 (hello Spinal Tap), sing from the heart and fist pump with passion and pride.

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 9ú lá de mí Bealtaine, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1986 bhuail airí agus múinteoirí arís an mhaidin sin I gcóir uair na cinniúna cainteanna faoi mhargadh chun díospóireacht a shocrú. I 1997 cheap daoine nach raibh Sinn Féin chun a bheith ag na cainteanna leis na páirtí eile nuair a bhí siad chun tosú arís I mí an Mheithimh. I 1970 fuair dhá aire sa rialtas briseadh as a bpost I gcóir a baint a bhí acu san iarracht gunnaí mídhleathach a thabhairt isteach chuig an tír chun iad a úsáid sa sé chontae. I 1986 bhí fadhb mór mar go raibh róphlódú sna barda san ospidéal in Inis agus tháinig sé seo suas an tseachtain roimhe chomh maith mar dúradh go raibh sé dainséarach de bharr an acht seirbhís dóiteáin. Sin Falco le Rock Me Amadeus – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1986. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1965 I rith turas ceol sa Bhreatain chan Bob Dylan I gcóir dhá oíche sa Royal Albert Hall. Bhí The Beatles go léir sa lucht féachana. I 1992 bhí Bruce Springsteen ar an teilifís don chéad uair I dTuaisceart Meiriceá ar Saturday Night Live le Tom Hanks. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Noah Centineo I Meiriceá I 1996 agus rugadh amhránaí Billy Joel I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 1949 agus seo chuid de a amhrán. Beidh mé ar ais libh an tseachtain seo chugainn le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 9th of May, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1986: Ministers and teachers met again this morning for what was to make or break talks on a draft deal to settle the long running schools dispute. 1997: Sinn Fein was unlikely to be at the multi-party talks when they were due to resume on June 3rd. 1970: two senior ministers if the government were sacked for their involvement in an attempt to import arms illegally into ireland for use in the six counties. 1986: there was a serious problem of overcrowded wards at Ennis General Hospital which was highlighted the previous week when the complex was officially declared a potentially dangerous building under the fire services act. That was Falco with Rock Me Amadeus – the biggest song on this day in 1986. Onto music news on this day In 1965 During a UK tour Bob Dylan played the first of two sold out nights at London's Royal Albert Hall. All four members of The Beatles were in the audience. 1992 Bruce Springsteen made his North American network television debut on Saturday Night Live with host Tom Hanks. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – actor Noah Centineo was born in America in 1996 and singer Billy Joel was born in America on this day in 1949 and this is one of his songs. I'll be back with you next week with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.
Descubre la fascinante historia de la Sinfónica de Portsmouth, una orquesta formada por músicos que jamás habían tocado sus instrumentos antes de unirse al grupo. En 1974 lograron lo imposible: agotar entradas en el prestigioso Royal Albert Hall de Londres con una interpretación musicalmente catastrófica pero conceptualmente revolucionaria. De la mano de figuras como Brian Eno y Michael Nyman, este experimento contracultural desafió todos los cánones del elitismo musical y se convirtió en un fenómeno cultural que duró una década, hasta que irónicamente, aprendieron a tocar bien. Una historia real de rebeldía artística que te hará replantearte qué significa realmente hacer música. Escucha el episodio completo en la app de iVoox, o descubre todo el catálogo de iVoox Originals
