The great troubadour, Chris Smither, is the guest. In addition to releasing 20 albums of mostly original material and touring for over 40 years, Smither recently made his acting debut in a short film called "The Singers" which premiered at SxSW this past Spring. "The Singers" is a film adaptation of a 19th-century short story written by Ivan Turgenev, in which a lowly pub full of downtrodden men connect unexpectedly through an impromptu sing-off. The film explores the complexities of masculinity and the power of vulnerability through art. Smither's most recently album is called "All About the Bones". He will be performing at Kingston's Assembly on a double bill with Loudon Wainwright III on Thursday, September 18th. https://youtu.be/LPAJExna7bE

Send us a textThis week on the show Marla Mase stops by the show to discuss her daughter Lael Summer Feldman. We discuss her life and death as well as The Lael Project.The Lael Project is the vision of Marla Mase, Lael's mother, to encourage open discussions about suicide, mental illness, eating disorders, and depression. It is her belief that through the sharing of stories, music and song, healing can begin.****Marla Mase, is a native New Yorker and the mother to two beautiful souls, Lael and Yanai. She is also an entrepreneur, writer, performer, recording artist and COO of True Groove Records. She most recently returned from a whirlwind tour of the UK promoting her most recent release, Infinite They Went. She is currently touring Being Somebody, a show she co-wrote and performs with her 88-year-old father to sold-out audiences across the East Coast. Her theatrical works have been featured at venues such as La MaMa ETC, NYC SummerStage, and SXSW. Tragically, Marla lost her daughter Lael to suicide in 2017. Since that time Marla has been sharing her family story with the hope that it might in some way benefit others and help to remind us that we are all connected in our human experience.The Lael Project is named in memory of Lael Summer Feldman, who tragically took her own life on July 26, 2017, after a courageous struggle with depression, an eating disorder, and suicidality.Lael struggled throughout her adolescence, spending most of her teenage years in and out of various treatment centers. She credits her fifth treatment center in Utah, where she spent 17 months, (between the ages of 15 and 17), as lifesaving. Lael completed high school in her hometown of NYC and went on to receive her Bachelor of Music degree from the elite Popular Music Performance Program at USC's Thornton School of Music. She released two albums, Burden to Bear (2013) and Life in Color (2015) on True Groove Records. She was written up as “the one to watch” from various music sites such as: Kings of A&R, EarMilk, AbsolutePunk, The Big Takeover, SoulTracks, RockNYC and PopDose, to name a few. Her songs are an amalgamation of soulful anthems, many of which challenged the inner negative voices of her eating disorder and depression.Known for her sassy sense of humor and badass irreverence, Lael's lyrics, whether a ballad or a dance floor banger, were always an offering of strength, hope and empowerment.You can find out more here: https://www.thelaelproject.com/aboutNeed help call or text 988 the line is available 24 hours.*****If you would like to contact the show about being a guest, please email us at Dauna@bettertopodcast.comUpcoming guests can be found: https://dmneedom.com/upcoming-guest Follow us on Social MediaInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/author_d.m.needom/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/bettertopodcastwithdmneedomIntro and Outro music compliments of Fast Suzi©2025 Better To...Podcast with D.

Drawing upon her formal training in composition and sound engineering from Berklee College of Music, she initially explored vocal performance, classical guitar and piano before her creative trajectory shifted when a neighbour lent her a Buchla 100 modular synthesizer. Her music combines the use of modular, analogue and rare synthesizers, orchestral textures and voice.Her early self-released works, including Cows Will Eat the Weeds and Tides: Music for Meditation and Yoga (2014), were followed by Euclid (2015), her first official album with Western Vinyl, which combined structured songwriting with ambient exploration. This was succeeded by EARS (2016), which critics praised for its seamless layering of organic instrumentation and analogue synthesis to evoke feelings of awe and disorientation. Her 2017 release, The Kid, marked a conceptual leap, tracing stages of human development through richly textured, emotionally resonant compositions that bolstered her status among experimental music audiences.Kaitlyn has performed alongside artists like Hot Chip, Glass Beams, RY X, Caribou and Four Tet, composed original works for Apple, BBC Orchestra, Adult Swim, MoMA, Red Bull and others, plus her song “Stratus” was also synced in the 2023 film Priscilla Motion Picture Soundtrack. She has also collaborated with longtime inspiration Suzanne Ciani and other artists like Emile Mosseri, while exploring multidisciplinary projects through her label, Touchtheplants. On her latest album, GUSH, Kaitlyn sets her sights on aesthetics, focusing on the heightened awareness of and presence in the world where every interaction, whether with people, objects or nature, has the potential to become a moment of connection and personification.https://kaitlynaureliasmith.com/https://www.instagram.com/kaitlynaurelia/https://www.facebook.com/kaitlynaurelia/https://x.com/kaitlynaureliaWilliam J.

As a producer and engineer, he has made albums with acclaimed avant-garde musicians from composer Tullis Rennie to Mute Records artist Louis Carnell. “I'm always seeking out the most ‘out-there', experimental, risk-taking musicians I can find to work with,” he says, “to capture vibrant, detailed recordings and create three-dimensional mixes of music that might otherwise struggle to know where to begin in the studio environment.” Stokes currently lectures in Music Production at City, University of London.https://www.vokagentle.com/Catch more shows on our other podcast channels: https://www.soundonsound.com/sos-podcasts

What is the political potential of live, embodied interactions? Celebrated artist Tino Sehgal believes they matter deeply. In our highly polarized, mediatized, and capitalized society, Sehgal has the courage to create artworks that are immaterial and leave no trace at all.For over two decades, Sehgal's work has disrupted the art world's system—a system that values objects over labor and the individual over the collective. In the first episode of the art series In Our Time, curator Azu Nwagbogu and Tino Sehgal explore the art and politics of presence. What role can social interactions in public space play in a time when political leaders around the world are openly attacking museums and the art world?During the conversation the audience experienced and participated in the work of conceptual and performance artist Lisette Ros.About the speakersTino Sehgal (London), is an artist working and living in Berlin. Originally studying political economy and dance, he crossed over to the visual arts in 2000. He achieved international renown for his groundbreaking ‘constructed situations': live encounters between visitors and those enacting the work. He presented his work at the Venice Biennale, Documenta in Kassel, in the Guggenheim Museum in New York, Tate Modern in London and Stedelijk Museum in Amsterdam.Azu Nwagbogu (Nigeria) is internationally acclaimed curator. He is the founder and director of African Artists' Foundation, and serves as Founder and Director of LagosPhoto Festival. He is the creator of Art Base Africa, a virtual space to discover and learn about contemporary African Art. In 2024 he curated the first-ever Benin Pavilion at the 60th Venice Biennale, titled Everything Precious is Fragile.Lisette Ros (1991), a Dutch conceptual and performance artist, who identifies as queer, woman and fluid, with roots in Indonesia, explores the interplay betweensociety, identity, and the human experience through her work. Using her body as a medium, she challenges societal norms and exposes the consequences of sociocultural practices. Ros' work has been showcased globally, including performances at prestigious events like the Venice Architecture Biennale (2016) and South By Southwest (SXSW) in Austin (2018). Ros completed a residency with Marina Abramović in 2021 and has received grants for her ongoing ‘My Self' series researching the self and the identification process.This programme is a part of the Forum on European Culture 2025 en took place on June 29 2025.Programme editor: Merlijn GeurtsModerator: Yoeri AlbrechtZie het privacybeleid op https://art19.com/privacy en de privacyverklaring van Californië op https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Best friends, moms, and fearless flippers Kristy Etheredge and Rebecca Franchione join us to talk about their brand new A&E series The Mother Flip, premiering August 16th on A&E's HomeMade Nation. From risky all-cash deals to turning junkyard houses into jaw-dropping showpieces, these two prove that hustle, heart, and a little bit of Hill Country grit can turn even the roughest property into real estate gold.About the Show – The Mother Flip In The Mother Flip, best friends and fellow moms Kristy Etheredge and Rebecca Franchione—alongside contractor Roy Salinas—take on Texas Hill Country's worst homes and flip them into stunning, high-value properties. With all-cash buys, bold renovation plans, and a fearless attitude, they turn neglected, rundown houses into sophisticated showstoppers, splitting the profits three ways.The series kicks off with "Junkyard Gem", where a promising unlisted property in a prime Austin neighborhood turns out to be a nightmare—think junk piles, overgrown yards, and major repairs needed. But Kristy and Rebecca aren't afraid to get their hands dirty, transforming the disaster into a luxurious, modern home that could fetch a big payday.Kristy Etheredge – Bio Kristy Etheredge is a Texas Hill Country local with a career spanning over 25 years in marketing, sales, event design, and management. She's worked with powerhouse brands like the PGA TOUR, NHL, NFL, and SXSW, where she mastered the art of executing high-pressure projects with creativity and precision. Today, Kristy brings that same energy into flipping homes—managing budgets, sourcing salvaged materials, and crafting beautiful, cost-effective designs. A wife and mom of two teenage athletes, Kristy thrives on big challenges and always finds efficient solutions to make visions come to life.Rebecca Franchione – Bio Rebecca Franchione's flipping career is fueled by guts, grit, and a sharp eye for deals. After 25 years of moving around the country as the wife of a college football coach, Rebecca embraced a new chapter—divorced, raising three teenagers, and flipping houses at a rapid pace. In just the past year, she's completed 18 flips, always chasing the thrill of transforming overlooked properties into profitable investments. A published author and community-minded entrepreneur, Rebecca's hustle is matched only by her fearless approach to design and negotiation. She lives in the Texas Hill Country across the street from Kristy, proving that sometimes your best business partner is also your next-door neighbor.https://www.aetv.com/shows/the-mother-flipBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/i-am-refocused-radio--2671113/support.

Mary Neely first came to the world's attention during the pandemic with her viral videos, earning praise from Lin-Manuel Miranda and Andrew Lloyd Webber, as well as being named "Best Theater of 2020" by The New York Times and The Washington Post. Since then, she has been delivering  great work on both sides of the camera, such as the tv pilot “Stars Diner” which premiered at SXSW this year, “Valley Girl,” “Lyle Lyle Crocodile,” and Netflix's “Happiness For Beginners.” Now, she and Kareem Rahma (“Subway Takes”) co-wrote and co-star in the true New York low budget indie film “Or Something.” On this episode she tells the story of meeting Kareem, how that film came together, and the “endurance test” of shooting a feature in 6 days. She talks about growing up an “acting nerd,” what she learned from performing different jobs on a set, the difficulty in accepting herself as more than an actor, why it all starts (and ends) with memorizing the text, and much more. "Or Something" opens in New York on August 22nd and in LA in September Back To One is the in-depth, no-nonsense, actors-on-acting podcast from  Filmmaker Magazine. In each episode, host Peter Rinaldi invites one working actor to do a deep dive into their unique process, psychology, and approach to the craft.  Follow Back To One on Instagram

What do you care about these days? Caring is the currency of leadership, but here's the paradox: when we care too much about too many things, we can lose sight of the things that truly matter. So the question is: How do you direct your energy toward what you value, without becoming overwhelmed by the sheer volume of things you could care about? The most effective leaders are those who can connect deeply with their teams, foster trust, and create a sense of safety and belonging. They lead with empathy, not just strategy.But perfectionism and overfunctioning can lead us to feel like we need to be everything to everyone, at the expense of our well-being and, ultimately, the quality of our leadership.For many of us, the path to effective leadership begins with finding your enough. When you shift your lens to honoring your enough, you stay connected to your values and to the people and causes that matter most to you, without tipping into exhaustion.My guest today offers a model of what it's like to care deeply without losing yourself in the process, and of finding joy and community along the way. Ashlee Piper is a sustainability expert, commentator, and speaker whose work has been widely featured on television and in print media.

"Can You Fly" Yes, Freedy Johnston did his California Thing and it was immortalized on his 1992 album Can You Fly. When you're an artist you can go one of two ways: east or west and he Kansas-born singer-songwriter Freedy Johnston went east, landing in New York after college. Firmly planted in the 212, Johnston worked odd jobs and wrote songs and after keeping at it, he signed with the fledgling indie label Bar/None and that kicked off a career that has yielded classic albums like This Perfect World, Never Home, Back On The Road To You and, of course Can You Fly, which, after almost 30 years is available again in a remastered on CD and clear vinyl pressing. More on that in a second. Johnston has worked with Butch Vig, Aimee Mann, T-Bone Burnett, The Embarrassment and John Dee Graham, he's played all over the world, been praised by everyone from Rolling Stone to The New York Times, had a hit song with "Bad Reputation," played Conan, SXSW and signed to a major label. It's a partial list, but you get the idea: Freedy Johnston has had quite a career. With a new album on the way, Johnston has never sounded better. And Can You Fly has never sounded better either; a storming set of jagged pop like Trying To Tell You I Don't Know and In The New Sunshine along with wistful ballads like Tearing Down This Place and We Will Shine, Can You Fly is a timeless classic that remains dynamic and vital. www.freedyjohnston.com (http://www.freedyjohnston.com) www.stereoembersmagazine.com (http://www.stereoembersmagazine.com) www.bombshellradio.com (http://www.bombshellradio.com) www.alexgreenbooks.com (http://www.alexgreenbooks.com) Stereo Embers The Podcast: Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com (mailto:editor@stereoembersmagazine.com) BLUESKY + IG: @emberspodcast

This is a documentary that lifts the veil on intimacy coordinators, following their journey in film from the initial phases to the day of the shoot. In between scenes of working through the intimacy coordinator process, the film explores how films like Last Tango in Paris could have benefited from having an intimacy coordinator on set. Additionally, while this film is about film and TV production, it does open up discussion for others about consent when it comes to personal relationships.Check out Make it Look Real on Netflix right now, and to find out more about Bethany's work, visit StapleFiction.com.au.Follow us on Instagram, Facebook, and Bluesky @thecurbau.
