Beyond thrilled to be introducing our next guest, Echo Juliet and this killer mix she cooked up- using her first love of percussion as the defining element of her sound. The DJ and producer swapped her classical music degree for Ableton and decks. A friendly, yet formidable force, her DJ sets journey through deep house, percussion-filled global electronic, and warm sounds which have seen her open for Bradley Zero, Tom VR, Nightmares on Wax, The Orb, Jeremy Sylvester and more. Receiving comparisons to Four Tet and Bonobo, her colourful productions dwell on the fringes of club music, leaning towards the leftfield. From high energy excitement to dreamy textures, she draws influence from broken-beat, deep house and classical percussion. Recently named one of DJ Mag's emerging artists to watch, her releases have also been featured in Bandcamp's Best Electronic list, played in legendary clubs such as Fabric, and supported by DJs including Axel Boman, Seb Wildblood, and BBC 6Music tastemakers Gilles Peterson, Nemone and Tom Ravenscroft. She has also featured on a compilation alongside electronic icons 808 State, and been remixed by Gold Panda. Radio credits have seen her guest hosting on NTS and mixes for Rinse FM and The Face Radio in New York, as well as hosting a radio series for promoter Soundcrash. Meanwhile, DJing has taken her from noted South-London party Rhythm Section and residencies for The Standard and Variations, to SXSW in Austin, We Out Here festival's second stage and playing to over 3,000 people at Dreamland Margate. Committed to creating a more inclusive music scene, she founded Future Proof for Bradley Zero's Rhythm Section label, has taught music production to women and non-binary folks for Saffron and is a director of DJ community Selextorhood.

Matthew Shear IG: @matthew_shear takes us on the journey to cast Amanda Peet, Alessandro Nivola, and Judd Hirsch in his directorial debut. In the midst of a long and successful career as an actor, should you ever write your own film? Does it even make sense to follow your agent's advice about making more content?Matthew just wrapped as series reg, and Matt and Oren are curious about how and why he figured that making a film and getting into SXSW, was a good thing? Afterall this is a film that Oren's DP said they loved!So Matthew dives deep into what it means to be vulnerable. The blood, pain, and the angst, as only an actor can understand. And he takes us through how, after deciding to act and direct in the film he spent years toiling to write, he decided it might be best "for the film" if he were to give up his role as lead actor!!!Well... that's what happened, and not how it ended. And if you want to know how you can turn fortune yourself, and hear about how good guys win and money doesn't always, then this is the episode you have to hear!Help Matts' film: https://wefunder.com/badfeelingHelp our Patreon! https://www.patreon.com/JustShootItPodMatt's Endorsement: the D line of the LA Metro opened 2 new stops:Oren's Endorsement: Have a jumping off point for creative inspiration.

Texas Softball star Reese Atwood joins us at the Nike Blue Ribbon Elite Athlete Launch Event at SXSW fresh off hitting a home run just three hours earlier and arriving in a burnt orange Lamborghini. Reese talks about what it means to rep Nike, what drives her to be great (spoiler: it's family), and what makes the University of Texas unlike anywhere else. She also lets slip something about Coach Mike White's past as a men's fastpitch pitcher from New Zealand…and hopes he wasn't listening. 0:00 Intro — Reese Atwood at the Nike Blue Ribbon Elite Event0:27 What It Means to Be a Nike Blue Ribbon Elite Athlete0:43 Arriving in a Burnt Orange Lamborghini

"Of Ghosts And Gods" The New Jersey-born, Harvard educated David Berkeley is one of modern music's true renaissance men. Now, people throw that term out a tad lazily but in the case of Berkeley, it truly fits. Aside from releasing close to ten perfect albums, including The Confluence, Some Kind Of Cure and Oh Quiet World, Berkeley is an author, a label owner, and he's been a river rafting guide, a band manager, a travel writer and a creative writing teacher. A writer of tremendous depth, focus and sensitivity, much like Paul Simon or Nick Drake, Berkeley has the uncanny ability to slow the world down and hold it still. Informed by actual geography as well as the geography of loss and emotional reconstruction, Berkeley's songbook is a wondrous collection of compositions that gaze out at the map of the human heart with effortless poeticism and grace. He's toured with Billy Bragg, Ben Lee and Gary Jules, appeared on This American Life and played South By Southwest and he's one of the most consistently critically-acclaimed musicians around. He's also one half of the aforementioned transatlantic folk duo Sons Of Town Hall. Along with singer/songwriter Ben Parker, Sons Of Town Hall are hard to describe, but I'm going to try. Under the guises of Parker's George Ulysses Brown and Berkeley's Josiah Chester Jones, Sons Of Town Hall are fictitious 19th Century Victorian-era vagabonds who sing about their travels by way of a kind of magical hand-built raft. Falling somewhere between Coleridge, Lord Byron by way of Simon and Garfunkel's Wednesday Morning, 3AM, Sons Of Town Hall's new album Of Ghosts and Gods is a stirring collection of songs about travel, friendship, following your heart and staying afloat while doing it. www.davidberkeley.com (http://www.davidberkeley.com) www.sonsoftownhall.com (http://www.sonsoftownhall.com) www.bombshellradio.com (http://www.bombshellradio.com) www.stereoembersmagazine.com (http://www.stereoembersmagazine.com) www.alexgreenbooks.com (http://www.alexgreenbooks.com) Stereo Embers The Podcast: IG + BLUESKY + THREADS: @emberspodcast

Why are most brands still stuck licensing royalty-free tracks nobody recognizes while short-form content runs on music?  This week, we're sharing a conversation Jade Prieboy had at SXSW with Ferris Bseiso, founder of Cipher Music, breaking down how TikTok rewrote the economics of sync licensing, why major brands are getting hit with eight-figure copyright lawsuits over Instagram posts, and how Cipher is creating a volume-driven sync market designed specifically for the creator economy. Also on this episode, Jade and Dmitri swap takeaways from Music Biz in Atlanta and Mo Forum in New York. They dig into AI voice cloning and the concept of style laundering, Andrea Gleason's provocative idea about generative AI and streaming platforms, the rise of institutional catalog investment from companies like Apollo and Primary Wave, and what the KISS hologram deal signals about the future of artist IP. Music, technology, and internet culture are colliding in real time. This episode is right in the middle of it.   The Music Tectonics podcast goes beneath the surface of the music industry to explore how technology is changing the way business gets done.

A Chaotic Good Projects é uma agência com clientes como Justin Bieber, Coldplay, Tame Impala, Dua Lipa, Geese e Wet Leg. O trabalho deles é fazer músicas viralizarem no TikTok mantendo uma rede de milhares de perfis na plataforma, páginas de memes, clipes de esporte e citações sentimentais que acumulam seguidores sem nenhuma relação óbvia com música.Quando um cliente lança uma faixa, a música aparece de fundo em todos esses vídeos ao mesmo tempo, gerando a sensação de que está em todo lugar. Eles chamam isso de "simulação de tendência". Os próprios fundadores revelaram os detalhes em um podcast da Billboard gravado no SXSW.A cantora Eliza McLamb ficou obcecada com "Love Takes Miles", do Cameron Winter, convicta de que era uma das poucas pessoas no mundo que conhecia a música, até descobrir que ele era cliente da agência. Depois que ela publicou tudo no Substack, a Chaotic Good apagou os nomes dos artistas do site e removeu a seção de campanhas de narrativa.A ilusão de descoberta espontânea é o produto.

My guests in this special episode are co-hosts of the podcast Films Not Made: Amy Hobby and Avi Zev Weider. This episode is also appearing on their platform as well. Amy and Avi’s one-of-a-kind podcast explores the fascinating world of movies that were planned, developed, and sometimes even cast—but never made it to the screen. From legendary unmade projects to obscure near-misses, we dig into the stories behind cinema’s most intriguing what-ifs. Amy Hobby is an Oscar-nominated, Emmy and Peabody-winning producer with 30+ films including “What Happened, Miss Simone?,” “Secretary,” and “Sunday.” Former Executive Director of Tribeca Film Institute; co-founder of Distribution Advocates. She’s spent her career finding the stories nobody else would touch – and figuring out how to get them seen. Avi Weider is a filmmaker and technologist whose work spans the Sundance-premiered “I Remember” to “American Santa” (LA Times) to “Welcome to the Machine” (SXSW). He’s part of OpenAI’s Artist Program, a Sundance Lab alum, lives at the intersection of storytelling and emerging tech – and built half the tools he uses to get there.

Connor Scott-Gardner has presented at the European Parliament, Westminster, and SXSW. He also goes home, gets tired, and sometimes thinks he hasn't done anything. This podcast will prove that he has done much. In this first conversation, he talks about what genuine support for blind young people looks like up close, and what gets in the way of it. He names a trap he's fallen into himself: pointing out every barrier without offering a direction. And he explains why awareness, on its own, has a ceiling. This is a precise, generous conversation with someone who has thought hard about the difference between performing concern and actually creating change. Part 2 is coming.

Behind the Mask: The Rise of Leslie Vernon (2006) is a beloved cult horror film that celebrates its 20th Anniversary this year. With that great milestone came the news of a long-awaited sequel, Behind the Mask II: The Return of Leslie Vernon, which begins shooting this Fall. After the original debuted at SXSW in '06, word of mouth spread like wildfire and a new horror icon was born. Genre favorites Robert Englund (A Nightmare on Elm Street) and Zelda Rubenstein (Poltergeist) rounded out the cast as well as the late Scott Wilson (In Cold Blood), who gave a great performance as Leslie Vernon's mentor "Eugene". A direct sequel was originally planned, but unfortunately didn't pan out due to financial restraints that ultimately did not provide an adequate budget for the project. For many years, a sequel had been teased, rumored and gossiped, but now it can officially be yelled from the rooftops - LESLIE VERNON IS BACK! At a sold-out screening in LA on April 9th, "Vernonites" flocked to see the film on the big screen to celebrate its 20th Anniversary. There was also a Cast and Crew Q+A featuring writer David J. Stievie, director Scott Glosserman, actors Robert Englund, Nathan Baesel, Angela Goethals and many more in attendance! At the end of the discussion, a surprise video played to the crowd, officially announcing the brand new sequel as a locked production. They then talked a bit about the Kickstarter campaign and how they hoped to secure as much additional financial backing as they can, but how they would only be able to get there with help from the fans.  With a launch date on April 22nd a goal set for $20,000, there was a little time to spread the word and build momentum. When the campaign officially began, they raised the goal in 9 minutes. In a few short weeks, they have far surpassed all expectations, with over $320,000 raised and a few days left in the fundraiser. Not only will Robert Englund be returning, but also the rest of the core cast and crew will be as well including Angela Goethals, who you may recognize as "Linnie McCallister" from Home Alone (1990). There is also rumored to be some new cameos from other genre-favorite actors as well, which will be announced soon. Writer David J. Stievie is back with another phenomenal script and is joining forces once again with director Scott Glosserman.  If you're able to support the project in any way or would like to pick up any Leslie Vernon merchandise, head to leslievernonreturns.com. There you will be connected directly to the campaign and can check out the vast array of perks that are in store for you. In the spirit of championing horror, we must band together to get projects like this off the ground and in movie theaters. Self distribution is becoming more commonplace in the industry and the fans help make it happen. Be sure to follow the Cast and Crew on social media to follow their journey as they head back to Glen Echo! This episode was co-presented by Jeremy Morehead of Epic Film Guys. Check out his show and and all the incredible review episodes they've done on your favorite horror movies!  #BehindTheMaskTheRiseofLeslieVernon #BehindtheMaskII #TheReturnofLeslieVernon #GlenEcho #RobertEnglund #FreddyKrueger #PaperStreet #Kickstarter

In this episode of In the Room, John Williams and Christopher Shea sit down with the team behind Kill Me, which premiered at SXSW 2026.Director Peter Warren, producer Natalie Metzger, and producer Keith Goldberg discuss the film's unusual premise, a murder mystery where the body becomes the detective, and how that idea opened the door to a story about mental health, depression, comedy, mystery, and survival.The conversation explores how Charlie Day came aboard, why Allison Williams, Giancarlo Esposito, and Aya Cash were such powerful additions to the cast, and what it takes to support a first-time director without diluting the filmmaker's vision. They also break down the realities of indie production, shooting in Utah, designing a lean but ambitious set, and protecting performance at every stage.For filmmakers, actors, producers, and anyone curious about how a movie moves from script to screen, this episode offers a rare look inside the creative and practical decisions that shape a film before it meets an audience.

THE G.Y.M. — PILOT, ACTS TWO AND THREE By Dani HanksPick up where Act One left off. Valerie still cannot get her commercial. The film crew is still in her face. The Solstice gym across the street is still winning. And things are about to get considerably worse.Bryan is teaching group fitness despite not knowing what "happy baby" is, and every senior in the building keeps asking when Reggie is coming back. Kayla is supposed to be training her client. Her client is currently turning purple under a barbell. The cameraman looks weirdly familiar to her and she cannot place it. Chris is somewhere in the locker room going through a smoothie situation he did not ask for. Wade the IT guy is crawling through a server closet stuffed with the unpaid invoices Valerie has been hiding in her clipboard. And Valerie, our hero, has just told the cute IT guy that her anaconda doesn't want his real estate funds.It's fine. Everything is fine.By the time we get to the pool, Alexa is jumping off a diving board she has no business being on, Bryan is leading a secret back room of seniors through a yoga pose he learned thirty seconds ago, Wade is sitting next to a soaking wet Valerie holding the worst envelopes she's ever seen in her life, and the truth about who's been filming all day is about to drop in the middle of the room like a brick through a window.Underneath the chaos, this is what the show is actually about: a woman trying to save the only place she ever felt at home, with a crew of misfits who have nowhere else to go either. Norman Lear would recognize this gym. So would anybody who's ever worked at one.Meanwhile, across the street, in a chrome office at the new Solstice, a Southern silver fox in a tall cowboy hat is watching the whole thing through binoculars. He is having the time of his life. He is not done with The G.Y.M. Not even close.Recorded live at Podcast Movement at SXSW in front of a packed house of our peers, and you can hear it in the room.

Picture a world where you could trade in your face for a 'stock photo' version of perfection just to win a high school popularity contest. I am talking about the film that absolutely dominated SXSW in 2025, taking home the Grand Jury Prize. I had the absolute best time speaking to Katy about her role in Slanted. We spoke about her character's transformation and how she was able to maintain the balance between the broad, the satire, and the genuine horror of the surgery's aftermath. Even though the Director, Amy Wang, created this movie from personal experience, I am sure that collaborative process was genius and flawless while preserving the film's heightened sense of reality. For everyone who watches or listens, if you want to see a movie that will make you laugh, cringe, and totally rethink the concept of 'fitting in,' you have to check out Slanted.

Joining host Michael Azevedo on this episode are Suzannah Herbert and Darcy McKinnon, the director and producer of the award-winning documentary "Natchez," which will air on PBS on May 11 as part of the Independent Lens Series.   The film is also currently available for VOD streaming on multiple platforms including Apple TV, Prime Video, and YouTube TV.   Winner of the best documentary feature award at the 2025 Tribeca film festival, "Natchez" captures an unsettling clash between history and memory in a small Mississippi town; it's a layered mosaic of people contending with the weight of the past in a place where it is always present.    Equal parts amusing and disturbing, "Natchez" grapples with a deeply troubled history that is so thoroughly ingrained in its present, we're left to wonder if it's actually past at all.   Suzannah Herbert is a documentary director and editor from Memphis whose directing work focuses on the American South. Herbert directed and produced the twice Emmy-nominated film "Wrestle." As an editor, she has collaborated on various Bob Dylan, Tony Bennett and Lady Gaga projects, music videos and award-winning films. "Natchez" is her second documentary feature.   Darcy McKinnon is a documentary filmmaker based in New Orleans whose work focuses on the American South and the Caribbean. Her work has been seen on the World Channel, POV, and Hulu and has screened at Sundance, Tribeca, SXSW, and more.   Making Media Now is sponsored by Filmmakers Collaborative, a non-profit organization dedicated to supporting media makers from across the creative spectrum. From providing fiscal sponsorship to presenting an array of informative and educational programs, Filmmakers Collaborative supports creatives at every step in their journey.   About the host: www.writevoicecreative.com and https://www.linkedin.com/in/michael-azevedo/   Sound Engineer: A.J.

THE G.Y.M. — PILOT, ACT ONE By Dani HanksWelcome to the run-down fitness shithole at the end of the strip mall. Two buildings left standing, a tech repair shop and The G.Y.M., and across the street a brand new chrome-and-barbell luxury chain called Solstice is having its grand opening on the same day Valerie is trying to film her grand re-opening commercial.Valerie inherited her childhood sanctuary the hard way. The previous owner got hauled off in handcuffs as "The Flamingo King," the FBI took the penguins, and she sank her life savings into keeping the bulldozers off the lot. Now the bike handlebars are snapping mid-shoot, the wifi is down, the POS is down, the smoothie blender is wifi-controlled (a mistake), and a real estate vulture in pinstripes will not stop circling the parking lot. Her ragtag crew, an Insta-thirsty trainer, a Finnish golden retriever on a visa, a chaos-gremlin receptionist who cannot swim, a buttoned-up IT guy from next door, a smoothie-bar veteran who misses the cocaine era, and a crystal-worshipping yogi with prison connections, is the only thing standing between Valerie and the wrecking ball.It's a found-family workplace comedy in the bloodline of Cheers, Superstore, and The Bear, but make it the gym. HBO sitcom material with prime-network legs. Dani Hanks' pilot won the 2024 Austin Film Festival Josephson Entertainment Fellowship, the year-long development deal AFF hands to the one teleplay it bets the most on, and ISA named Dani one of the Top 25 Screenwriters to Watch in 2025.We recorded this live at Podcast Movement at SXSW in front of a packed house of our peers, and you can hear it in the room. The energy, the laughs landing in real time, the cast riding the wave together. Video version available on YouTube and across our channels.

It isn't often you get so many genre icons in one movie, but so is the case with the Ready or Not sequel, Ready or Not 2: Here I Come. The 2019 original sent Samara Weaving's star soaring and now, in film two, she's joined by two other actors who have achieved “scream queen” status. It's Sarah Michelle Gellar and Kathryn Newton. While in Austin celebrating Ready or Not's World Premiere at SXSW 2026, Gellar and Newton visited the Collider interview studio for a Collider Ladies Night conversation to cover their journeys to the Ready or Not franchise, and to tease their hopes for their futures in the genre. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Editor - Brian Philip Davis Hokum editor Brian Philip Davis teams up once more with director Damian McCarthy.  Prior to this film the two joined forces to craft McCarthy's supernatural thriller, Oddity.  This time out, they double down on the dread and jack up the jump scares to keep audiences on the edge of, and often a few feet above, their seats. Written and directed by Damian McCarthy, Hokum stars Adam Scott as novelist Ohm Bauman.  When Bauman retreats to a remote inn to scatter his parents' ashes, he's consumed by tales of a witch that haunts the honeymoon suite. Soon, disturbing visions and a shocking disappearance force him to confront dark corners of his past. BRIAN PHILIP DAVIS Brian Philip Davis is known for his work in genre cinema, with films showcased at major festivals including Sundance, SXSW, Tribeca, TIFF, FrightFest, and Fantastic Fest. He has a strong ability to work across multiple genres—from horror to comedy—bringing a confident balance of tone that allows each project to feel cohesive, engaging, and distinctive. In addition to Damian McCarthy's Hokum, Brian's upcoming working also includes The Incomer, a folk comedy (starring Domhnall Gleeson), written and directed by Louis Paxton and winner of the Sundance Film Festival NEXT Innovator Award 2026. Additional titles include Oddity, Bad Day for the Cut, Boys from County Hell, The Occupant, Here Before, and The Devil's Doorway.

A decade ago, he was instrumental in the passage of the JOBS Act, including the provisions that made Regulation Crowdfunding possible. In this episode, the discussion centered around the challenges, opportunities, and responsibilities entrepreneurs face when raising capital through this regulated process.Woodie reflected on his journey advocating for Regulation Crowdfunding, beginning with a bold idea and leading to a historic signing ceremony at the White House. “When we started walking the halls of Congress…we kept on hearing one thing: you guys are never going to pull this off,” Woodie shared. Yet, through relentless focus and bipartisan collaboration, he and his team successfully convinced lawmakers that Regulation Crowdfunding could create jobs and significantly enhance access to capital.The experience of being at the signing of the JOBS Act was described by Woodie as surreal—a moment he'll never forget. “I remember sitting on the lawn of the White House…watching the president come out, talking about how, quote-unquote, this is a game changer. And we're pinching ourselves, going, I can't believe we pulled this off.” For entrepreneurs today, that game-changing legislation has opened new doors, enabling startups to raise funds directly from their communities.However, Woodie emphasized that success doesn't end with raising capital; compliance and communication with investors are equally crucial. He noted that many companies fail to meet the SEC's annual reporting requirements, which can harm both their reputations and future fundraising efforts. To address this, Woodie and his team developed carfiling.com—a tool designed to simplify annual compliance filings for entrepreneurs using Regulation Crowdfunding.For startup founders leveraging Regulation Crowdfunding, Woodie's story serves as both an inspiration and a practical guide. He transformed skepticism into groundbreaking legislation and continues to innovate within the space. Woodie believes that Regulation Crowdfunding is not just about democratizing capital—it's about fostering trust and accountability between entrepreneurs and their communities.tl;dr:Sherwood (Woodie) Neiss explained his journey advocating for the JOBS Act and Regulation Crowdfunding.He described the historic White House signing ceremony and bipartisan efforts behind the legislation.Woodie emphasized the importance of compliance for companies raising capital via Regulation Crowdfunding.He introduced carfiling.com, a tool designed to simplify annual reporting for entrepreneurs.Woodie highlighted his superpower—connecting—and shared personal insights on fostering human relationships.How to Develop Connecting As a SuperpowerWoodie described his superpower as “connecting,” and he shared a heartfelt, personal perspective on what that means. “When my son was three…he said, ‘I'm connecting to your love battery.'” For Woodie, connection isn't just about relationships; it's an energy that powers humanity. “We as humans rely on other humans…to recharge us in ways that bring validation to who we are.” Professional and personal connections—whether partnering with colleagues or recharging through family interactions—drive his purpose and success.Woodie's son Max provided the inspiration for the children's book The Love Battery, a metaphor on human connection. Max used to throw his legs over Woodie's belly at bedtime and explained, “I'm connecting to your love battery.” This heartfelt moment shaped Woodie's understanding of how vital connection is for sustaining energy, optimism, and creativity. The concept of the “love battery” now serves as a metaphor both for Woodie's personal life and his work, inspiring communities and encouraging collaboration.Tips for Developing This SuperpowerBe Present: Focus on where you are now, rather than always planning ahead.Acknowledge Others: Express gratitude to people around you through small, meaningful gestures.Balance Priorities: Recognize the importance of personal, professional, and health-related priorities equally.Encourage Collaboration: Build relationships that foster purpose and excitement in your work.By following Woodie's example and advice, you can make connecting a skill. With practice and effort, you could make it a superpower that enables you to do more good in the world.Remember, however, that research into success suggests that building on your own superpowers is more important than creating new ones or overcoming weaknesses.

Hollywood Is Broken—And That's Why Zachary Levi Is Building Something New Actor, entrepreneur, and faith-driven creator Zachary Levi (Chuck, Shazam!) sits down with Justin Forman at SXSW to pull back the curtain on Hollywood, authentic storytelling, and his bold new venture: Wyldwood—an independent studio and intentional community designed to fix what's broken in entertainment and in the way we live. From the untold true story of Sarah Rector—a 10-year-old Black girl in early 1900s Tulsa who prayed over her land, struck oil, and became the richest woman in America—to the AI flood rising around us, Zachary shares why he believes faith-driven creators are called to build arks, not abandon ship. Key Topics •       Sarah's Oil: The remarkable true story of a 10-year-old girl whose childlike faith turned 160 acres into the largest pure oil reserve in North America •       Why excellent storytelling—not preaching—is how faith gets metabolized by culture •       Zachary's faith journey: from near-suicidal darkness eight years ago to a deeper, wider, more grace-filled walk with God •       The identity trap: what acting taught him about separating your work from your worth •       Wyldwood: building a modern-day Hershey, Pennsylvania for artists—intentional community, redemptive storytelling, and an answer to AI •       Why AI is a biblical flood—and why that's the reason to build, not retreat Notable Quotes "When I started working in Hollywood and I got my first look behind the curtain and I saw how all the sausage was made, I was heartbroken because I care too much about other human beings and excellence to find myself working in an industry that doesn't care about either of those things." — Zachary Levi "There is a way to get messaging in your art that is not proselytizing. There's a way. And that is the way." — Zachary Levi "A biblical flood is coming. It's not rain, it is technology. And the ground is already permeating. The water is rising." — Zachary Levi

Strafford's Noah Kahan is arguably the most famous musician to come out of Vermont in recent years. A new Netflix documentary, "Noah Kahan: Out of Body," follows the Upper Valley singer-songwriter as he grapples with fame, his mental health and complex family dynamics.Following the meteoric success of "Stick Season" in 2022, Kahan spent the next few years touring, playing increasingly larger venues. This culminated in stops at Madison Square Garden in New York City and Fenway Park in Boston.The "Out of Body" filmmakers joined him for those concerts, but also for many quieter moments at home in Nashville and Strafford. The cameras capture Kahan struggling with body dysmorphia and disordered eating, and trying to write new songs that could survive in the shadow of "Stick Season."The documentary premiered at SXSW last month, where it won an audience award. Its director, Nick Sweeney, made repeated trips to Strafford and the surrounding area during filming in order to better understand his subject.Then; JLee MacKenzie is an animator who grew up in Chittenden County. He was in film school in California when the pandemic hit, so he turned to animation to find a new way to tell stories. MacKenzie's new film is called “Definitely Gangster,” and it just premiered at the Made Here Film Festival. It follows the story of two kids who fly around the world to chase a dream. One of the kids is terminally ill, but the film is still a comedy. It was made with motion capture in a cabin in Worchester, Vermont and features local voice actors.Lastly; Seven Days music editor Chris Farnsworth chats with Vermont Edition managing producer Jon Ehrens about notable new music releases out of Vermont. They discuss Burlington stalwart Bob Wagner's new song "The Richest Man on Earth," and the improbable techno of Roost.World and their single "Genesis." 

Scott Galloway answers audience questions from this year's SXSW – breaking down why his prediction that international stocks would beat the S&P played out, how he personally invests his money, and why America's education system is failing the kids who need it most.

SNL alum Jorma Taccone joins Matt Wilstein for a sharp, funny conversation about the new action-comedy he directed called ‘Over Your Dead Body'. They also dig into how Jorma's Lonely Island's digital shorts helped develop his filmmaking skills and what it was like diving into bigger, bloodier set pieces while still threading comedy through chaos. He shares behind-the-scenes stories from SNL, MacGruber, and SXSW, before turning to a near-fatal ladder accident that shattered his pelvis and sent him through weeks of surgery and rehab—an experience that forced him to rethink pace, perspective, and creative obsession, while still somehow finding room to laugh at it all.
