In this sun-soaked episode of The Struts Life, I—Luke Spiller—teleport you to my beloved Maui for a whirlwind of rock-star vacation stories: from unplugged sets with Nick Perri and John Levine celebrating my solo-album launch, to impromptu Harley rides, vintage-shop adventures, and poolside jam sessions with Steven Tyler, plus sunset sing-alongs at Mick Fleetwood's now-legendary Front Street restaurant.

"Midnight At The Valencia" Before all this rock and roll stuff, Tom Hollister was a highly touted Rugby player from Wales. I'll let him tell you how his career as an athlete was derailed as a young man in Canada, but let me just say this: when he got back to Wales, he channeled all that athletic energy into another sport entirely: the making of music. In 2010, of all the emerging buzzbands, Cardinal Black was one of the buzziest. Guns N' Roses' longtime manager Alan Niven was overseeing the band's activity and let's just say this: it was active. They were invited by Steve Winwood to record at his studio, they played a killer set at Sonisphere and they flew to the U.S. to record an album. But things didn't go as planned and the band hit pause on a career that was about to kick into overdrive. I'll let Tom tell you about that dark time as well, but, and I don't think this is a spoiler, the dark times are over and Cardinal Black 2.0 are in fighting shape and adding brilliant achievements to their resume' with each passing day. They've hit #1 on the iTunes Rock Singles Chart, they've played sold-out headline shows in all over the world, supported Myles Kennedy, The Struts and Peter Frampton thanks to a personal invitation from the man himself, and played Joe Bonamassa's Keeping The Blues Alive rock cruise. The band's new long player Midnight At The Valencia is a smooth blend of simmering soul, bluesy ballads and shimmering, rootsy genius. Hollister's stirring vocals are drenched with heart and with the brilliant guitar playing of Chris Buck weaving throughout the band's compositions, Midnight At The Valencia is one of those records that evades the timeline. When you put it on it could be 1971 or 1993 or now. Or all of it. I love this record and I love this band and Tom is a humble, thoughtful and kind soul. www.thecardinalblack.com (http://www.thecardinalblack.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 BLUESKY + IG: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com (mailto:editor@stereoembersmagazine.com)

The Struts! all killer no filler. we had the pleasure of sitting with front man Luke Spiller to tall about the band, the road, the process, and his new solo record.

What does it really mean to build a world where everyone belongs — not just in policy or design, but in spirit? In this powerful and poetic conversation, I sit down with Qudsiya Naqui, civil rights attorney and host of Down to the Struts, to explore the deep intersections of disability, justice, identity, and radical access.We talk candidly about the shame Qudsiya once carried, what losing her vision taught her about intuition, and how love, advocacy, and design can become tools of liberation. Together, we unpack what society still gets wrong about disability — and what we must reimagine to get it right.From hidden canes to courtroom truths, this episode is both a call to consciousness and a blueprint for inclusion. Whether you're disabled, an ally, or just waking up to these questions, this conversation offers insight, warmth, and clarity you won't want to miss.

Host Leah Jones turns a laid-back weeknight Gigaverse hangout into a turbo-charged “Struts Song Draft,” squaring off against superfans to build rival 15-track playlists from the band's full 56-song Spotify catalog while swapping road-war stories, drive-in show memories, and even second-grade classroom sing-alongs. The friendly trash-talk and surprise guest picks—think “In Love With a Camera,” “Too Good at Raising Hell,” “Kiss This,” and sleeper gem “The Old Switcheroo”—spark nonstop debate about what truly defines The Struts' sound just as the Everybody Wants 10th Anniversary Tour heats up the summer calendar.

In this episode, hosts Mitsuaki Sawano, MD, Nobuhiro Ikemura, MD, and Satoshi Shoji, MD, are joined by Dr. Yoichiro Sugizaki, MD, for an in-depth discussion on his landmark OCT-based study investigating chronic stent recoil (CSR) and its impact on target lesion revascularization (TLR) in the contemporary era of thin-strut, second-generation drug-eluting stents (DES). Together, they delve into the frequency, mechanisms, and clinical relevance of CSR—an underappreciated phenomenon increasingly observed in heavily calcified or eccentric lesions despite technological advancements in stent design. The conversation underscores why recognizing CSR is essential for interventional cardiologists and explores practical strategies to mitigate its impact.

Ever wonder how The Struts Life came to be? This week, I (Leah Jones, your loyal host and rock 'n' roll confidante) sit down with our elusive producer, Christian Swain, for a no-holds-barred origin story packed with backstage access, big ideas, and a bottle of Napa red.

We go deep on the band's evolution, the future of rock, the soul of music in the age of AI, and why imperfection is the new perfection.

We've arrived at our penultimate listener favorite from season 8. We called this one “Access: A love Story.” It was magical for Qudsiya to revisit the unforgettable day that she and her partner, also a Down to the Struts alum, Sean Collins, promised to love each other for the rest of their lives. They've been married for nearly two years now, and they've had their fair share of adventures since. But they continue to cherish those precious moments with the people they hold dearest in the world, because of the incredible work of access artist Cheryl Green and photographer extraordinaire, Jasmine Oliver, on their accessible wedding album. Qudsiya and Sean think of Cheryl and Jasmine every time they experience the symbiotic pleasure of image combined with voice. Also thanks to the audio talents of Ramya Amuthan with production and sound design support from the one and only Thomas Reid. Access truly is an act of love. And here, once again, is Qudsiya and Sean's love story. Visit our website⁠ ⁠for⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ transcripts⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠-- Subscribe to Qudsiya's Substack, ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Getting Down To It⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Support the team behind the podcast ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠with a donation⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Let us know what you think with a comment or review on⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Apple podcasts.⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠
