Will Epstein is a composer, singer and multi-instrumentalist based in Woodstock NY. His newest release, Yeah, mostly (out January 9th via Fat Possum Records) takes a turn from his avant-guard and soundscape tendencies and very comfortably settles into a more traditional form of song writing and direct lyricism, but retains the sonic intrigue of his earlier work. Will shares his experience of growing up in an artistic atmosphere in NYC, how that shaped his expression over the years and how he found himself playing saxophone for a member of the Velvet Underground as a youngster. Will tells us why Yeah, mostly has helped him find his lyrical language, how the recording process freed him up creatively and why he thinks more direct and literal lyrics can bring the listener into reality in a psychedelic way. Joe and Will discuss the fruitfulness of the “song a day” exercise, their love for costume dramas and how Will heard John Coltrane in Animal Collective. Will tells us why laughter can be an indication of his best work and we hear some new tunes.

In this week's sermon podcast, “Sin's Ruinous Rule” (Genesis 4:8–16), Pastor Ben Smith examines the tragic story of Cain and Abel to reveal the devastating consequences of unrepentant sin. Through careful exposition, he highlights three warning signs of sin's growing destruction: 1. The Mastery of Sin – Without repentance, sin gains control over the heart, leading to escalating rebellion.2. Spiritual Blindness – Sin blinds individuals to danger, causing them to focus on temporary comfort while ignoring eternal consequences.3. Living Under God's Judgment – Being unconcerned about God's judgment is a warning sign of sin's ruinous rule.Pastor Smith challenges listeners to recognize sin in their own lives, respond to God's conviction, and embrace the hope and freedom found in repentance and faith in Jesus Christ. Key Scripture: Genesis 4:8–16 Main Theme: The Ruinous Rule of Sin Speaker: Pastor Ben Smith Series: Genesis Format: Expository Sermon Find Out More:Ben Smith is the pastor of Central Baptist Church, Waycross, GA.Additional podcasts, books, and downloadable PDFs of Pastor Ben's sermon outlines and manuscripts are available at http://bensmithsr.org.You can find information about Central Baptist Church at cbcwaycross.org.

New Car Smell is wildly spirited London based trio made up of Alex Shaw (Sax), Jack Marks (Tuba) and Alex Shad (Drums). Their newest EP, Nerdz After All is available now. Nerdz After All is a more produced answer to their previous release, Keep Them On The Streets, and ode to busking and live performance. Both EPs retain a high level of psychotic energy in their own respects. Alex, Jack and Alex share their views on the struggle of playing live shows in London, how busking has informed the band's modus operandi and why playing on the streets can be a better way to connect with fans and earn money. The band explains the role that “fun” played in making the new record, why they decided to go with a more produced sound and how Nerdz After All is attached to a multi-EP concept. Joe and the boys delve into the growing impotence of social media, why fans are better than followers and why leaving out fussiness and respecting the craft is the key to success as performers.

From the 1970s onward, he held several powerful posts as White House chief of staff, a Wyoming congressman, Secretary of Defense, and a private-sector oil executive. But Cheney will be remembered most of all for his eight years as Vice President under George W. Bush, when he exerted his influence to invade Iraq in 2003 and impressed his ideas about executive authority and conduct, ignoring Congress, the Constitution, and international law. The Iraq war became an intractable calamity. Even today, the country is not considered a healthy democracy. Cheney's idea of the "unitary executive" is now being put into practice once more by Donald Trump, an unintended consequence of Dick Cheney's enduring influence. Historian Jeremi Suri is our guest.

Justin Peters delivers a comprehensive examination of the ruinous ruse of Rome by contrasting Roman Catholic theology with biblical Christianity through the lens of the five Reformation solas. This ruinous ruse of Rome becomes evident when examining salvation by grace alone, faith alone, in Christ alone, for God's glory alone, according to Scripture alone. Peters demonstrates how the Roman Catholic Church has redefined fundamental biblical terms like grace, justification, and faith while adding works, sacraments, and human merit to salvation.This presentation exposes Rome's doctrine of transubstantiation, the sacrifice of the Mass, purgatory, and Marian dogmas as departures from Scripture. Through careful biblical exposition and historical documentation from the Council of Trent, Peters shows how Rome has anathematized the gospel itself by rejecting justification by faith alone and requiring ongoing works for salvation. The message honors the Protestant Reformers who sacrificed their lives—including John Hus, William Tyndale, and Hugh Latimer—to restore biblical truth and make Scripture accessible to all believers. ★ Support this podcast ★
