Morgan Wade stands alone in her ability to dissect and examine human emotion through her visceral songwriting. Her 2024 album, Obsessed, was a solo-written opus, which No Depression declared, “She's without a doubt one of the finest singers in country and Americana music today, and this album is her best yet.” Now, Wade readies The Party is Over (recovered), a collection of songs old and new that continues the intense exploration of her psyche's recesses that she again wrote solo. As ever, the results are thrilling. Out now, The Party Is Over (recovered) connects Wade's past and present, showing she hasn't lost an ounce of her dedication to shining a light into the dark places where the truth hides out. Since debuting in 2021 with Reckless, Wade has found herself gaining considerable attention and admiration amongst her country and roots music peers as well as musicians in the rock and pop world. She's toured with everyone from Eric Church and Chris Stapleton to Alanis Morissette, Joan Jett and, most recently, Shinedown. Once of the most noteworthy and celebrated artists of her time, Wade has been spotlighted by The New York Times, Los Angeles Times, Rolling Stone, Forbes, Garden & Gun, People, Tennessean, Variety, and many more. Today on the show we discuss: Morgan's powerful sobriety journey, how she's learned to manage other addictive patterns, how she stays sober while touring, why fitness and discipline are cornerstones of her recovery, how sobriety has made her a stronger musician, what it was like touring with Alanis Morissette and Joan Jett, how she handles the comparison trap and much more. ⚠ WELLNESS DISCLAIMER ⚠ Please be advised; the topics related to health and mental health in my content are for informational, discussion, and entertainment purposes only.

Join Kosta and his guest: Ali Bagci, Cookeville City Council Member, veteran and community organizer. In this episode: You can't teach experience. That was one of my favorite quotes from your website, because it's true. No matter how we try, we can't teach experience. Professionally, you've worked in manufacturing, project management, healthcare, and as an Officer in the United States Navy. Cumulatively, how do you think that experience has shaped your approach to leadership for Cookeville City Council and beyond? For most of us, we won't care about how the government works until we need something or we're mad about something. Why does local civic engagement matter and why should every resident of Cookeville be invested in the decisions and success of Cookeville City Council? We want to see Cookeville grow responsibly. That was a core mission of your campaign in 2022 and it's been at the forefront of every Tennessean's mind for at least the past decade. How do we keep growing steadily and sustainably?

Interview & Article by Tennessee Conservative News Reporter, Olivia Lupia.On July 1, the Pray4TN movement kicked off to honor the resolution which declares 30 days of prayer and fasting in the state of Tennessee every July for those “physically able and spiritually inclined”, and on Saturday, August 2, believers gathered as a united body for a final wrap-up event across the street from the state capitol to worship and seek God's hand over the state.HJR0051sponsors Rep. Monty Fritts (R-Kingston-District 32) and Sen. Mark Pody (R-Lebanon-District 17) were unable to join the event due to last minute personal matters, but both attended several of the 95 county gatherings across the state and sent their regards to those who gathered near the capitol.The Tennessee Conservative spoke with Senator Janice Bowling (R-Tullahoma-District 16), Representative and Congressional candidate Jody Barrett (R-Dickson-District 69), and Rep. Aron Maberry (R-District 68-Clarksville).HJR0051 seeks to ensure Tennesseans will recognize the importance of asking “the Holy Spirit to move withing the halls of government, our classrooms, our businesses, our places of worship, and our homes, bringing peace, hope, love, kindness, goodness, gentleness, faithfulness, temperance, forbearance, and joy” each year, and the Pray4TN organizers are hoping the movement will continue to grow in each county and across the state.Read the full article on TennesseeConservativeNews.com (Note: article will be posted on morning of August 7, 2025).https://tennesseeconservativenews.com/state/

There is no more tender time than the months, weeks and days before a loved one's passing. More likely than not, hospice care is going to be involved. Still, many people don't fully understand what hospice looks like. So today we're breaking down what you need to know so you'll be a little more prepared when it matters. We'll hear from two Tennesseans who relied on hospice care, both at home and at a care facility, during each of their mother's final days. We'll talk with representatives from hospice agencies in Middle Tennessee and an end-of-life doula about how to prepare for end-of-life care and how to make the most of it. And we'll discuss the grief services hospice providers offer during the months following a loved one's passing.In our monthly series NEXT AGE, we're having conversations about growing older — and efforts to reframe aging in a way that helps all of us. Our show is made possible, in part, by BlueCross BlueShield of Tennessee and our series on aging is made possible by a grant from The West End Home Foundation — enriching the lives of older adults though grantmaking, advocacy and community collaboration.This episode was produced by Katherine Ruppelt.GUESTS: Tiffany Johnson, Caregiver for mom who passed on hospice Chuck Cardona, Caregiver for mom who passed on hospice Dr. Martha Presley Tran, Alive, Chief Medical Officer,  Meredith Portwood, Heartn' Soul Hospice, Community Education Representative Bre Clark,  End-of-life doula, hospice volunteer Ali Drescher, Alive, Sr. Director of Mission Based Services Further Listening:The Cost Of Dying: Modern Death Hits Home For A Health Care Reporter

On the eve of July 4th, co-authors Jennifer Richmond and Winkfield Twyman joined Equiano Project Head of Content Ada Akpala for an insightful conversation about blackness and race identity with noted podcaster Danielle Romero.  A native of Troy, New York, Danielle discovered one day that her putative French and Irish maternal great grandmother Lola Perot had spent all her married life passing for white in New York. In fact, Lola was born Creole (colored) in Louisiana. In a fascinating roundtable, we explore where does Romero land in our country's obsession with racial identity? What does it mean when a European American discovers the story of one's family was a racial lie? Is it possible that Romero's origin story can bring us closer to connection in our universal humanity? Is the true impact of Danielle's story not her ancestor who passed for white, but that Danielle's mixed ancestry is a lens into our racial future as Americans?  In a sense, Danielle is the tip of a spear. More and more Americans will discover they are of multiple ancestry groups over time. Come join us for an hour with a national leader in the hunt for identity sans race.    Podcast NotesDanielle Romero's Podcast, NYTNThe Equiano Project https://www.theequianoproject.com/My great grandmother hid who she was. 20 years later I understand why | Opinion, The Tennessean, Danielle RomeroRace Is Beginning to Bore Me, Winkfield Twyman, Jr. The Legacies of Black Pioneers: The Problem with Black Excellence with Ada Akpala, The Dissidents PodcastAre Light-Skinned People the White People of the Black Community? Winkfield Twyman, Jr.The Souls of Black Folk, Winkfield Twyman, Jr.This is Your Brain on AI: The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Dissidents Podcast
