Janelle Wolf longs to be the woman she once was, an adored wife, a loving mother, a career woman, a force in her community—before a mysterious car accident stole her memories, ruined her reputation, and upended her life. These days, her troubled family needs that capable woman from the past, the one she calls “Janelle Before.” Enter Lana, an alluring and magnetic psychic healer who meets secretly with Janelle. Lana coaxes Janelle to remember the circumstances of her accident in order to recover Janelle's “best self.” Instead, Janelle uncovers the ugly truth behind that night. The revelations unravel Janelle's marriage, disrupt her family, and turn her small southern town upside down. Written with wry humor, this diabolically entertaining tale of deception, temptation, and love is filled with dark twists, exploring what happens when the transgressions of the past come back with a vengeance.

Ok Fine. Shannon Ivey finally agreed to tell a story from her pandemic experience. Beyond being in a statistic of mothers who had job loss due to child care obligations and shifts in the workforce during the pandemic, her realization was a deeply personal one. Here's she discovered FOR SURE about herself and her kid during the pandemic. This is our last story of this spring, but we will be back in the fall with a new Story Slam (or something fun). As always, thank you so much to the South Carolina Arts Commission for supporting me with a Quarterly Artist Grant to support this work. It means the world.

In this episode of The Outspoken Podcast, host Shana Cosgrove talks to professional pianists and founders of The Concert Truck, Susan Zhang and Nick Luby. The pair talk about the beginning stages of starting their business and what it’s like performing concerts in a truck! They also speak about their other musical experiences such as their education, teaching piano, and their entrepreneurial view of the industry.   QUOTES "The only reason to do music is the music itself." Nick Luby - [09:40] "There are a lot of ups and downs with learning to play an instrument, or really learning any craft well. I think that it’s good to experience that. Even when you’re young. Because you learn that to get better than anything, you’re going to have to feel those uncomfortable feelings. And that’s an important part of the process." Susan Zhang - [13:13] “If you’re a great improviser, then you’re automatically a good composer because improvisation is spontaneous composition.” Nick Luby - [16:14] TIMESTAMPS [00:04] Intro [01:00] Nick Luby Musical Excerpt [01:30] Meet Nick Luby and Susan Zhang [02:08] Teaching Piano [04:20] Meeting and Creating The Concert Truck [07:54] College [09:03] Family [10:25] Susan’s Education Experience [10:53] Susan Zhang Musical Excerpt [11:25] Susan’s Parents [12:00] Kids Starting in Music [14:33] Vulnerability and Improvisation in Music [17:13] Success [17:49] Adopting The Concert Truck [19:47] Entrepreneurship [21:54] Nick Luby and Susan Zhang Musical Excerpt [22:23] Entrepreneurship Continued [25:03] Nyla Technology Solutions [25:36] Driving The Concert Truck [27:37] First Concert to Now [33:37] Wrap Up Questions [35:35] Outro RESOURCES https://peabody.jhu.edu/ (Johns Hopkins Peabody Institute) https://www.gilman.edu/ (Gilman School) https://www.wesleyan.edu/ (Wesleyan University) https://www.biography.com/musician/johann-sebastian-bach (Johann Sebastion Bach) https://www.biography.com/musician/wolfgang-mozart (Wolfgang Mozart) https://www.biography.com/musician/ludwig-van-beethoven (Ludwig van Beethoven) https://www.biography.com/musician/frederic-chopin#:~:text=Fr%C3%A9d%C3%A9ric%20Chopin%20was%20a%20renowned,piano%20compositions%20were%20highly%20influential.

Thanks to the generous support of the South Carolina Arts Commission, we are bringing back the popular Virtual Story Slam!   This spring, on the one year anniversary of the COVID shut down, we asked women some questions:  -What did you learn about you during COVID?  -What did this time mean for you? -How did you make it through? Not unsurprisingly, we got back a LOT of responses.   So, until they are tired of talking about it, we will release these stories.  We never tire of listening. #stories #storyslam #virtual #podcast #women #genderexpansive

It's easy to forget sometimes, with our city's accelerating downtown development boom and the associated exponential increase in activity and buzz, but the Spartanburg that birthed back in 1995 was a very different place from the one we see today. Decades of decline had turned what once had been a dynamic upstate urban core into a hollowed-out shell, its vibrant post-war bustle replaced by a turn-of-the-century malaise, with shuttered storefronts and crumbling facades serving as the only reminders of what once was. With that as their backdrop, a group of local writers intent on giving Spartanburg a new sense of itself (and reviving a long-dead nickname in the process) met in a coffee shop and created what is now one of the South's premier publishing houses, along the way selling over 150,000 books, winning 14 Independent Publisher Awards, and adding some downtown brick and mortar to their ink and paper in the form the fantastic Hub City Bookshop. Steering the ship through that remarkable run has been Betsy Teter, Executive Director of Hub City Writers Project and one of Spartanburg's greatest champions of local arts and culture.  This year, in recognition of the enormous place-building cultural contributions she's made to Spartanburg and to literature throughout South Carolina, the South Carolina Arts Commission , our state's highest arts honor. Today on the podcast, we sit down with Teter to talk about the award and about the pivotal, decades-long work she's spearheaded to earn it.

Some of the most revered Southern works of art hang near those created by a deep well of talented local artists. Live music from one or more of two dozen outdoor and indoor stages can be heard nearly every night of the week. A ballet company, a philharmonic, and a theatre company provide big-city productions year-round. Another organization's artist-in-residence program brings artists live and make art for months at a time.Murals and sculptures dot the streets and make postcard-ready backdrops. Downtown Spartanburg is a vibrant, dynamic home for the arts, boasting the $45 million Chapman Cultural Center, some of the best art galleries in the South, and an independent press and bookshop respected throughout the literary community. Indeed, surprises are seemingly around every corner, including every step of the 2-mile Hub City Music Trail that chronicles Spartanburg’s significant musical heritage. That’s why basically all of Downtown Spartanburg —every street and every block — has been designated a cultural district by the South Carolina Arts Commission. Today on the podcast, we're talking about a great public art installation that will help us kick off the official opening of Spartanburg's newly designated Downtown Cultural District, taking place November 17, 4:30–8 p.m. on Morgan Square. Artist Ashleigh Shuler has planned a series of "yarn bombs" for locations around downtown, and also a community build for those who'd like to get involved, scheduled for Sunday, November 13, 1–4 p.m. at the Chapman Cultural Center.
