Join Here: ⁠https://ow.ly/msoH50WCu0K⁠ In this segment of Notorious Mass Effect, Analytic Dreamz provides an in-depth analytical breakdown of Sienna Spiro's breakout single “Die On This Hill,” released October 10, 2025, via Capitol Records—the defining hit from her debut EP Sink Now, Swim Later.Born September 25, 2005, in London, UK, the 20-year-old singer-songwriter boasts a deep alto voice influenced by Etta James, Amy Winehouse, Frank Sinatra, and early-2000s hip-hop. She began songwriting at age 10, went viral on TikTok in 2022 with covers and originals, dropped out of school at 16 to pursue music full-time, and built early momentum with singles like “Maybe” (#75 UK Singles Chart, 2024) and her 2025 EP.Co-written by Spiro with Omer Fedi, Michael Pollack, and Blake Slatkin, the piano-led ballad—sparked by a Bohemian Rhapsody-inspired piano mistake—features cinematic strings by Rob Moose and explores stubborn love, emotional entrapment, and toxic relationships with raw vulnerability and dramatic structure. Live-debuted at KOKO London (September 2025), it earned widespread praise for vocal control and emotional depth.As of January 2026, the track achieved her first UK Top 10 (#9 peak on Official Singles Chart), debuted at #69 on Billboard Hot 100 (week of January 10, climbing), hit Spotify US #23 and Global #47 peaks, amassed 145+ million global streams (over 16 million by November 2025), and contributed to Sink Now, Swim Later surpassing 122 million cumulative streams—driven by TikTok emotional-clip trends and organic virality.Television exposure accelerated crossover: UK debut on Later… with Jools Holland, U.S. performances on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon (January 2026), TODAY, and prior The Late Show with Stephen Colbert (via “Maybe”). Support slots with Teddy Swims (North America) and Sam Smith boosted visibility.Her sold-out 2026 North American headline tour, The Visitor Tour, launches March 3–6 at Troubadour (Los Angeles, 2 dates), includes stops at Café Du Nord (San Francisco), Lincoln Hall (Chicago), The Great Hall (Toronto), The Atlantis (Washington, DC), The Foundry (Philadelphia), Brighton Music Hall (Boston), and concludes March 17–18 at Bowery Ballroom (New York, 2 dates)—all 100% sold out across 10 dates.Industry nods include BRIT Awards Critics' Choice shortlist (2026). Analytic Dreamz dissects how “Die On This Hill” transformed TikTok virality into chart success, streaming dominance, TV breakthroughs, and touring demand—positioning Spiro as a soulful, performance-driven rising star with organic, accelerated momentum entering 2026.Join Analytic Dreamz for this no-fluff, data-driven deep dive into one of 2025-2026's most compelling breakout stories.

You asked for it! This is the first episode of a new series where we unpack just what it takes to get a job in pro racing.Charlie Ping is a pro engineer.

He helped develop Acura's LMP1 and LMP2 prototypes, and he developed and led the manufacturer track-testing program for Chevrolet's IndyCar aero kits.These days, Charlie works alongside INTC co-host Jeff Braun at Toronto's 13 Motorsports, where he helps run a Corvette Z06 GT3.R in IMSA's GTD class.

Jessie Reyez is a singer and songwriter originally from Toronto. She's won two of Canada's Juno awards, and she's been nominated for a Grammy. In addition to writing her own music, Jessie's been a songwriter on tracks by Calvin Harris, Dua Lipa, Sam Smith, Eminem, and many others. You're probably aware that there are songwriters and producers whose names you'll find over and over again in the credits for big hits; Jessie is one of them. But for this episode, I talked to her about her own song "Goliath." And the day that she wrote that song, she happened to be in the studio with a bunch of other songwriters and producers. So I also talked to Jordan and Stefan Johnson, from the production team Monsters & Strangerz, and Jeff Gitelman, AKA Gitty. Between the three of them, their credits also include songs by Selena Gomez, Maroon 5, Alicia Keys, Mac Miller, and again, tons more.When a group like this gets together to write music, they don't always know if they're going to be making a song that's going to get recorded and released by an artist somewhere down the line, or if the song's going to get recorded at all. But in the case of "Goliath," what came out was a song that was very personal to Jessie Reyez.For more info, visit songexploder.net/jessie-reyez.

Off-topic show! Back by popular demand.

This one is a lot less weird. (But it does hold the words, “hot foam on your butt.”)This show changes format weekly, because squirrel.

Thirty years ago, one of the world's greatest drivers was forced to drive most of an F1 race with only fifth gear.Somehow, he finished second.The 1994 Spanish Grand Prix is widely thought of as Michael Schumacher's greatest race. His gearbox was stuck in fifth. And yet, because he was Michael Schumacher—one of the most successful and complex individuals to ever take a flag—he never stopped trying to make something from nothing.This show's format rotates weekly, because squirrel.

I love it whenever I get the chance to invite friends into the WKXL NH Unscripted studio!  “Ye Merry Gentlemen”, written by G Matthew Gaskell and directed by Sam Smith, is up and running at the Players Ring in Portsmouth Nov. 14 – 30. Knowing absolutely nothing about it I thought it was time to get Mr. Gaskell back into the studio and dissect the production for me. From the promo material: “…This heartwarming new play is a joyful reminder that believing can bring a little magic into our lives… especially during the holidays. A decade after its first production, Ye Merry Gentlemen returns with some of the original script and original cast—now ten years older, and maybe a little wiser. Get ready to laugh, feel, and leave with your heart full.” I know and have worked with about half of the cast and so it was a treat to get to hear about how they've handled his work.

“I just want to see motorsport be as awesome as it can possibly be… can we make this more meaningful? So there's more to care about?”When J.R. Hildebrand says racing is broken, people listen. A few weeks ago, Hildebrand unveiled a discussion project called Blackbird 66. Maybe, he says, the future of motorsport lies in a hella-sexy 1000-horse Indy car with zero downforce. Twist my arm.Hildebrand: 2011 Indy 500 Rookie of the Year, drives a 1960 Cadillac named Rosie. He last hit INTC on Episode 72, when he talked about running a Winston Cup car in the Pikes Peak Hill Climb.Two things the man believes: One, racing thrives on obvious humanity. And two, aerodynamic downforce has ruined competition and should mostly get flushed.He's right about both, you know.(The official answer to the question in this episode's title: HELL YES WE DO.)***LINKS FROM THIS EP: Blackbird 66: https://www.blackbird66.com/JRH on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jrhildebrand/Dan Gurney's 1979 White Paper: https://legacy.allamericanracers.com/wp/formation-of-cart-dan-gurney/This show's format rotates weekly, because squirrel.

Send us a textJoin Cheryl Lee - That Radio Chick on STILL ROCKIN' IT for news, reviews, music and interviews with some of our favourite Australian musiciansA seven-year-old writes a song to survive the schoolyard, and that melody becomes a map. We sit down with Jordan Anthony to trace the line from first piano lessons in Perth to The Voice at fourteen, to a last-minute airport call that sent him to Junior Eurovision, and finally to an American Idol audition that reshaped his future. It's a story about momentum, but more than that, it's about the mindset that lets momentum become mastery.Jordan opens up about how reality TV can be a catalyst if you define your why, how standing beside world-class vocalists forced a leap in technique, and how a bout of illness before an international final turned into a lesson in grit. We unpack the call from producer Paul Clarke, the backstage talk with his dad, and what it felt like to step onto a world stage with an original song, “We Will Rise.” Then we fast-forward to LA: producer calls at 1am, an audition in Katy Perry's hometown, collaborations with Ajii on “Cherry,” and the quiet daily work that turns attention into a career.At the heart of the conversation is “Hurt Me Sooner,” Jordan's new single shaped by his first breakup. He takes us inside the lyric—those intrusive thoughts after love ends, the reflex to label time as wasted, and the steadier truth that growth needs friction. You'll hear how influences like Adele, Sam Smith, Lewis Capaldi, and Ed Sheeran inform his tone without swallowing his identity, and why this track finally feels like him. Between sessions and shows, he stays grounded with soccer runs, FIFA, and family FaceTimes, and shares plans to reset at home before the next surge.If you're chasing a creative dream, this one brings practical insight and real heart: use pain as material, treat opportunities like training, and build a support system that keeps you human. Stream the full conversation, share it with a friend who needs a nudge, and leave a review to help more listeners find stories like this.What has Jordan Anthony been up to lately?  Let's find out!Get out when you can, support local music and I'll see you down the front!!Visit: ThatRadioChick.com.au

How did Ross and a young Kimi Räikkönen end up sharing a fancy London apartment? After 20 years of testing fast cars for a living, which one still makes Sam misty? What really went wrong with Ross's IndyCar career?Answers to these questions—and more!—in this episode. Probably! Yes!Every so often, INTC does a listener Q+A show. We call that format “NO DUMB QUESTIONS.” This isn't that. This is Ross and Sam running a weird almost-gameshow and answering uncomfy questions from each other under pressure. ***IN THIS EP: Ross and Kimi — A brake line bursting open in 70-mph L.A. traffic — Ross's favorite street cars (and why) — How balance is the only thing that matters — a 289 Shelby Cobra — The time Ross watched a Concorde take off from the cockpit of a 747 on final approach — and more!This show's format rotates weekly, because squirrel.

In this episode, Heather sits down with young adult career coach Sam Smith to talk about one of the most universal human experiences—uncertainty. Sam works with 20-somethings who feel paralyzed by big life decisions.  Together, Heather and Sam explore why uncertainty is normal and necessary, how faith and trust in Heavenly Parents reframe our need for certainty, and why our divine identity matters more than our labels. Sam offers three concrete tools to move from fear to action and explains how building confidence in uncertainty translates into real-world courage for job interviews, big decisions, and everyday life.

Jimmy Kite crashed four times—four!—trying to qualify for the 1998 Indy 500. The story of how he finally made the show holds bad luck and trashed cars but also a hidden concussion, a giant fireball, an airborne gearbox, and a fat dose of can-do spirit. Plus: INTC co-host Jeff Braun! Jeff was Kite's chief engineer that year. So we brought Jimmy onto the show and asked him and Jeff to tell the whole tale.Kite was a 22-year-old sprint-car kid from Missouri who came up on dirt and had just been crowned 1997 USAC Silver Crown Rookie of the Year. A year before the Speedway, he had never driven a downforce car. And Jeff… well, Jeff was impressed!***IN THIS EP: That big, sexy fireball — A nervous mother — Jeff explaining suspension heave re: downforce — Dallara's IRL monoshock — A red-hot differential aiming for low-Earth orbit — Jeff running somebody out of gas — TV announcers joking, on-air, that a 22-year-old driver looks 15 — Jeff looking happy on TV — and more!This show's format rotates weekly, because squirrel.

We've driven nearly all of 'em. Almost every road model, plus some of the great race cars—a 934 and 935, RSRs, a Daytona-winning Sixties 2.0-liter. Not to mention the extended family, like a Le Mans-winning Rothmans 962, a few 959s, Jerry Seinfeld's 1964 “Butzi” car, the list goes on.Why do people love (and hate) the Porsche 911? Are the great ones worth the money? Can a reasonable person grow to love a good 911 if they don't much like the things to begin with?Cliché questions. We hit them here, then go deeper: What do you learn strapping into all that unobtainium?Ross and Sam have some rare wheel hours with Porsche's finest. And they might have some answers.***SPECIAL GUEST: This episode marks the return of the legendary Kyle Kinard, formerly of Road & Track!***IN THIS EP: Ross battling 911s as a BMW factory driver — Alois Ruf tossing Sam the keys to the 200-mph “Yellow Bird” CTR prototype and telling him to rip around Germany for an afternoon — Sam track-testing a Le Mans-winning 934 and a Fabcar 935 on the same day for R&T — Ross racing an RSR at Daytona with a bunch of babies — Sam writing the world's first track test of a Singer-restored 911 — and more!(Warning: There is also much Porsche-nerd-speak.)This show's format rotates weekly, because squirrel.

IndyCar is a gnarly old series, and 2025 was one of the sport's gnarliest seasons. So we asked the one and only Marshall Pruett to break it all down—own the mic, spit Palou truth, don't hold back.(That's Pruett's secret—he never holds back.)Select Pruett bona fides: decades of paddock reporting for RACER, ESPN, and Road & Track. Hosts the Marshall Pruett Podcast, which you should totally check out. Also, he's on a first-name basis with Chip Ganassi's lawyer.Select IndyCar gnar, 2025: Scandals! Lawsuits! Chevrolet and Penske face-plants! Plus a mild-mannered Spaniard somehow nuking the entire field from orbit to land his fourth consecutive title in a way no one thought possible.Plus, Pruett calls Sam names and orders Jeff a sandwich in this one.

Picture it: Your scrappy little pro race team has a rough 2024. The next year, out of nowhere, you win Daytona. Then the whole gang takes its first trip to Le Mans and lands a killer finish.The rest of Jeff Braun's 2025 IMSA season was, to quote Jeff, “not that.”This one's a doozy: First, we've got INTC co-host Jeff sharing what he learned in IMSA this year. (Jeff helps run a Corvette in the GTD class, remember.) Second, we've got Sam, who made way too much coffee on tape day.
