Chris is joined by Chloe and Sam Howard to discuss the 3rd entry in the Going through Ghibli series, Grave of the Fireflies, as we conclude the second month of 2023.  Grave of the Fireflies marks a very different approach from the animation studio that focuses on delivering a powerful message through the eyes of children during the last days of WWII. Needless to say, the group was easily able to find a lot to break down as they try to make it through this episode without tearing up. 

The key word for this week's episode is GRACE. Listen as Actress, Comic and Mom Sam Howard talks openly an honestly about navigating an unplanned pregnancy, dealing with Narcolepsy, the unexpected upside of coparenting and how she tries to do it all with grace. Follow Sam Howard Instagram

There are few things that are automatic in this world; crying at Forrest Gump, laughing at videos of people falling down, and Sam Howard coming up clutch with a pick for the Spooky Extravaganza. This year is no different as Mr. Howard pulls a Giallo film from the top shelf for all to enjoy. Category: Gonna Get That Body (Demonic Possession) Film: Demons  

With such a fancy title, you'd think there would be an equally fancy movie to follow for the category centering on witches. SPOILER ALERT - there isn't. Sam Howard gives us a glimpse into his childhood wandering the aisles of Family Video with this movie and frankly, we were all terrified of him (not the movie)!   Category - Dried Bat Wings/Eye of Newt Film - Rabid Grannies 

Words are powerful. They make as much an impact as video, photos, and audio. But words and writing are often under-appreciated, particularly by people who aren't writers or marketers.  In this episode of the Marketing Spark podcast, Sam Howard talks about why words matter and best practices for using them to drive Website conversions. Sam embraces a research-driven copywriting approach involving interviews with employees, customers and a competitive audit. We talk about: Whether copy or design should come first when developing a Website Best practices for copy and structure of homepages Three killers tips for Website conversions How to create better CTAs, demo pages, and About pages.

In the mountains of Peru my best friend takes time to explain the last 6 months of her isolated journey in the jungle speaking about her ayahuasca healing, plant medicine, womb medicine and the connection to source and spirit. Sam is a women's coach here to invite women into a remembrance of their infinite potential and does so through ceremony, self reflection and conscious communication.  She is also a photographer who travels all over the world capturing people's beauty.  Sam on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/alchemy.of.awakening    WORDS ARE SPELLS FB COVEN: https://www.facebook.com/groups/wordsarespells  INSTAGRAM: https://www.instagram.com/luna.veronica.mystic  ONLINE: https://www.lunaveronica.com 

Hold onto your butts because it's a twofer! With one of our pre-auction raffle wins, Sam Howard was granted the ability to add on any movie of his choosing to an already selected category. He chose to add on What We Do In the Shadows as a 2nd watch for the Nature's Pissed category! 

Threequels is one of our new categories this year. It centers around the third installment in any horror franchise. Of course, the winner of this category, Sam Howard, did not disappoint the group with his choice. 

In this episode i am joined by Amateur MMA fighter, all round Martial Artist and bartender, Sam Howard. In this episode we hear Sam give a far better introduction than I have in 27 episodes, we get into a good conversation on the social psychology of bar tending, the trends that Sam has seen, and how boundaries in social interaction are really important and have been devalued in some social settings. It was great to have Sam on, and i trust you will enjoy the episode too.If you do, please rate, subscribe, share as it helps me to grow the podcast, thank you.

You don't have to be beautiful, rich, OR cool to appreciate Prince - you just need a little extra time, a pair of ears, and a pulse. It's finally time to talk about the Purple One on Strong Songs, specifically his 1986 chart-topper "Kiss." How did a song that was originally written for a standard band become so stripped-down and distinct? Why do those vocal and guitar parts work so well? And who was responsible for some of the sounds and styles Prince was channeling when he recorded it? All that and more, on this episode. Artist: Prince Album: Parade (1986) Written by: Prince Listen/Buy: Apple Music | Amazon | Spotify ------ ALSO FEATURED: "Papa’s Got A Brand New Bag" by James Brown, 1965 "I Got the Feelin'" by James Brown, 1968 "Say Man" by Bo Diddley, 1959 "Manic Monday" by Prince (!) performed by The Bangles on Different Light, 1986 “Addicted to Love” by Robert Palmer from Riptide, 1985 “Rock Me Amadeus” by Falco from Falco 3, 1985 “West End Girls” by the Pet Shop Boys from Please, 1984 “Johnny B. Goode” by Chuck Berry, 1958 “St. Louis Blues” by W.C. Handy performed by Bessie Smith, 1929 “Make Me Feel” by Janelle Monae from Dirty Computer, 2018 A 2013 Sound on Sound interview with "Kiss" producer David Z: https://www.soundonsound.com/people/prince-kiss Update 6/24: A couple listeners pointed out that Prince actually *wrote* The Bangles' "Manic Monday," which is too fun of a fun-fact not to mention on the episode.

There is so much a man can tell you, so much he can say... especially if that man is named Kirk, and the thing he's telling you about is Seal's "Kiss From a Rose." Kirk goes back to the 90s for a close look at Seal's Grammy-winning, Batman-adjacent power ballad and finds a song that's much more interesting than he even remembered. It's an indulgent world of thick counterpoint, long phrases, harp flourishes, and oboe solos, with some of the richest vocal arranging this side of a chamber choir. Band/Artist: Seal Album: Seal II, 1994 and the Batman Forever soundtrack, 1995 Composed by: Seal Produced by: Trevor Horn Listen/Buy: Apple Music | Amazon | Spotify ------ OUTRO SOLOIST: Sam Howard This episode's outro soloist is bassist Sam Howard. Sam lives in Nashville, TN, where he performs and tours with all kinds of artists, most recently hitting the road with the wonderful singer/guitar-shredder Molly Tuttle. Sam played all the way through the Strong Songs outro, so keep an ear out for his playing mixed under the horns on the way out.
