In this episode, Michael welcomes acclaimed singer, songwriter, and entertainer, Lira. Her music career—which spans 18 years and includes six studio albums, four live DVDs, an autobiography, a feature film, and numerous accolades including 11 South African Music Awards—has established Lira as the foremost female artist in South Africa and a formidable presence on the global music scene. She is the first South African influencer to formally collaborate with Bobbi Brown Cosmetics in the campaign “Bobbi x LIRA”. In 2019, Mattel launched Africa's first Barbie doll, made in the likeness of Lira, to commemorate the brand's 60th anniversary. In April 2022, while walking back to her hotel in Germany, Lira had a stroke and was diagnosed with aphasia. In 2024, she made her public comeback. Today, Lira shares her remarkable recovery story and spiritual journey of discovering her inner voice and strength. Conversation highlights include: -Lira's journey from leaving her “safe job” as an accountant, cashing in her savings, and enduring a three-year grind until the breakout chart-topping debut album that affirmed her calling -Seeing music as a source of unity and hope while growing up during apartheid, and how conscious soul/R&B music from artists like Stevie Wonder shaped Lira's mission to uplift and inspire -Going from feeling fine to suddenly losing her ability to speak or remember how to find her way back to her hotel, and not being able to ask for help  -Being diagnosed stroke-induced aphasia—the temporary loss of speaking, reading, and writing -Lira's ongoing recovery, learning how to talk again, and how her singing voice returned before her speech -Reframing her experience as a “friendly stroke”—the unexpected answer to her desire and need to take a break from the world to rest, allowing her to tune into her body, her Higher Self, and discover her inner voice -Saying “Yes” to life, to creative projects, and a renewed willingness to meet life's invitations, plus Lira's daily rituals for physical fitness, spiritual hygiene, and nervous-system care -Widening her identity beyond career and how being quiet reveals presence, purpose, and real prosperity – and more!

‘Songs are like a statement from the spirit of you, the spirit in you'Annie Macmanus speaks to global music icon Stevie Wonder about his life and career. Stevie was born in 1950 in the industrial city of Saginaw in Michigan, USA. Even from a young age, he displayed a great love of music - first with a church choir, and then teaching himself how to play a range of instruments, including the harmonica, piano and drums - all before the age of 10.He was just 11 years old when he was discovered and signed by the legendary Motown record label - and the rest is history.Across a career that's spanned seven decades, he's sold over 100 million records worldwide, won numerous awards - including multiple Grammys, a Golden Globe and even an Oscar, and received the US Presidential Medal of Freedom too.Over the years, Stevie has also used his platform to campaign on social issues close to his heart. He's long-advocated for greater rights for disabled people around the world, and he successfully spearheaded a movement to create a national holiday in the US to recognise the birthday of the civil rights activist Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. He was also a vocal critic of apartheid in South Africa and called for the release of Nelson Mandela.In this wide-ranging interview, Stevie discusses his journey to stardom, where he gets his creative spark, and speaking out against injustice.Thank you to the Sidetracked team for their help in making this programme.

From there, the hosts come forward, breezing through classic singer-songwriters like Jim Croce and James Taylor, R&B pioneers such as Ray Charles, Marvin Gaye and Stevie Wonder, and all manner of rock singers, including Elvis Presley and Freddie Mercury, while pausing to engage in the inevitable Paul McCartney vs. John Lennon debate. The 1980s and 1990s are represented by the likes of Bruce Springsteen, Prince, Sting, Robert Palmer, Michael Hutchence, Trent Reznor, Vince Gill and Randy Travis. And today's stars are also evaluated, including Post Malone, The Weeknd, Harry Styles, Benson Boone and John Legend.

She addresses the difficulties of writing across genres, the need to work with artists she genuinely believes in, and the unique challenges women face in the music industry.

Barry answers all these questions and speaks on craft, process, and so much more in this extended and enriching conversation about his life, his films, and the many years he spent not actually making anything.

RJ Bell's Dream Preview
Dream Podcast - PreSeasonPalooza, 15 BETS !!

RJ Bell's Dream Preview

RJ Bell and Mackenzie Rivers talk Preseason to NFL Week 1 best bets. The latest Dream Podcast episode, “PreSeasonPalooza, 15 Bets!!,” is a classic mix of sharp betting systems, insider debates, and off-the-rails humor, the kind of show that feels like sitting in a sportsbook bar where the conversation drifts from ATS systems to Larry Bird versus Magic Johnson. RJ Bell opens by reminding listeners about the special Pregame discounts and touting the records of handicappers like AJ Hoffman, Goodfella, and others, before pivoting into the heart of the show: an unusually strong batch of preseason Week 3 betting angles. McKenzie Rivers kicks things off with a light story about the Taste of Chicago festival, which leads RJ into a tangent about Stevie Wonder's 2008 performance and the eternal debate over Chicago deep dish pizza, the type of side story that illustrates how much the Dream Pod thrives on detail and memory. From there, the real substance begins. RJ emphasizes that this preseason slate may be the best group of plays he has seen, with twelve recommendations and five best bets, while McKenzie contributes three researched totals for Week 1, giving listeners over fifteen actionable wagers. McKenzie's primary research zeroes in on the effect of quarterbacks who do not play a single snap in the preseason. Since the NFL moved to a three-game preseason in 2021, those teams have gone 27–12 to the under in Week 1, with an average ATS margin of –2.6 points. Their team totals also fall short, averaging –3.2 compared to expectations. RJ pushes back, calling the no-snap approach “idiotic,” arguing that football players improve by playing football, but McKenzie notes the trend has only grown stronger. They cite teams like the Cowboys, Eagles, Buccaneers, Falcons, Rams, Bills, and Ravens as Week 1 under candidates, especially in games like Cowboys vs Eagles, Buccaneers vs Falcons, and Ravens vs Bills. In classic forum fashion, the pod spins into a debate about Peyton Manning versus Tom Brady, with McKenzie insisting the numbers favor Manning's brilliance and RJ countering that Brady's postseason success and rings will age better historically. From there they wander into Bird vs Magic, Bill Walton's brief dominance, and Gilbert Arenas' scoring outbursts, demonstrating how sports arguments naturally expand. Eventually RJ reins it back in with his own powerful Week 3 preseason system: play favorites who lost both straight up and against the spread in Week 2. Since 2021 these teams are 14–5–1 ATS, but the real gold is in the first quarter, where they are effectively undefeated with massive scoring margins. At home the trend is even stronger, with a 10–1 ATS record and a combined +180 point margin. RJ breaks down which teams qualify this year, including Kansas City, Detroit, the Jets, and Dallas at home, plus Bills, Steelers, Raiders, and Chargers on the road. He highlights home teams in the first quarter as the true best bet subset, noting an 11–0 record with an average +9 point differential. The conversation shifts to how small sample size intersects with logical consistency, with RJ stressing that this system passes the test because it makes sense up and down the spectrum. McKenzie adds that home momentum explains why the advantage continues beyond the opening quarter. As always, the pod mixes sharp betting insight with humor, from round robin discussions to jokes about Britney Spears movies on Easter. The episode closes with RJ previewing Pregame's content schedule: the annual Quarterback Draft, the Season Win Totals Over/Under show, and weekly Dream Previews through the Super Bowl. The takeaway for bettors is clear: Week 1 unders for teams with zero preseason QB snaps, and Week 3 first quarter plays for favorites off a loss, especially at home, form the strongest edges going into the season.
