Stage Time or Social Media? Julia Jasunas Gets Real About Modern Comedy Comedian, actress, host, and writer Julia Jasunas joins Sarah Halstead and Rich Chassler for a fast, funny conversation about building a career that lives on stage, online, and everywhere in between. Over glasses of Rutherford Hill Napa Sauvignon Blanc, Julia talks about starting as a performer at three years old, growing up in musicals and dance recitals, studying musical theater at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, and realizing stand up came naturally once she stepped into it.  The episode also digs into the modern comedy grind: whether a tight ten in the Belly Room matters more than a sharp clip on social media, how short form content has changed joke structure, why editing internet bits can actually improve stand up writing, and the harsh truth about what happens when comics build an audience online before they can handle an hour on the road.  Julia and the hosts also get deep into the mechanics of live comedy, including the dreaded check drop, QR code ordering in clubs, the hidden difficulty of hosting versus featuring versus headlining, and what it really takes to captain a room. It is a smart, funny, inside baseball episode for comics, performers, and anyone curious about how talent becomes a real career.   Guest Info Julia Jasunas is a Los Angeles comedian, actress, host, and writer whose background started in musical theater and grew into stand up comedy, acting, and digital content. She began performing as a child, studied musical theater at the University of the Arts in Philadelphia, and has built a comedy voice that mixes a sunny presence with darker, sharper punchlines. In this episode, she talks about performing on major comedy bills, hosting clubs around Los Angeles and Orange County, developing material for the road, and balancing stage time with a strong social media presence.   Guest Social Links Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/juliajasunas/  Website: https://www.juliajasunas.com/  Linktree: https://linktr.ee/juliajasunas    Drink of the Podcast  Rutherford Hill Napa Sauvignon Blanc. Sarah picked one of her favorites and brought back a repeat guest of the wine variety for a repeat guest of the human variety. She calls out winemaker Stephanie Jacobs, formerly of Cakebread, and explains why this bottle stands out: a touch of oak, real minerality, a little extra body, and just enough richness to keep it interesting without losing the bright snap that makes Sauvignon Blanc work in hot weather.   Chapters   00:00 Intro: Welcome Back to Drinking During Business Hours   01:08 The Drink: Rutherford Hill Napa Sauvignon Blanc   03:17 Meet Julia Jasunas   04:29 Performing Since Age Three   06:42 Musical Theater vs Stand Up Comedy   08:56 Why Open Mics Never Worked for Julia   11:11 Booking Real Shows Early in Her Comedy Career   12:50 Westside Comedy Theater and LA Comedy Geography   15:15 Julia's Website, Image, and Comedy Persona   18:02 Sunny Energy, Dark Jokes, and Deadpan Delivery   20:07 University of the Arts and the Broadway Dream   23:25 From Acting Training to Stand Up and Screen Work   25:05 Stage Time vs Social Media in Modern Comedy   28:45 How Short Form Content Sharpens Joke Writing   31:06 The Check Drop and the Hardest Part of Headlining   36:07 Why Hosting a Comedy Show Is a Real Skill   40:55 Test Kitchen Comedy at Starlight Lounge   45:20 Touring, Headlining, and Building an Hour   48:37 Where to Find Julia Jasunas   Call to Action  If you enjoyed this episode, like, subscribe, and share it with a comedy fan who loves hearing how the business really works.  Follow Julia Jasunas for stand up clips, sketches, and tour dates, and drop a comment with your favorite moment from the episode.  Rate and review Drinking During Business Hours on Apple Podcasts or Spotify because every review helps more listeners find the show.  FOLLOW US ON SOCIALS!

Send us Fan MailHow do we learn to pray? In Talking with God, Ryan Cook suggests that the Psalms help answer the disciples' request, "Teach us to pray." They give us words for talking with God through every part of life—praise, confession, fear, frustration, gratitude, sin, forgiveness, and hope.In this episode, we finish our tour of Book One by exploring Psalms 29–41.We begin with praise as Psalm 29 gives us powerful images of God's strength, while Psalm 30 celebrates what God has personally done for the psalmist. Mourning will not last forever. God gives chen—favor and grace—and there is hope that sorrow will once again turn to joy.Psalms 31–33 remind us that we can rest in God when we're weary, confess our sin and know we are forgiven, and trust that God remains in control even when the world feels anything but controlled. We also see that forgiveness isn't simply a New Testament idea. Psalm 32 celebrates the blessing of confession and forgiveness and reminds us of God's chesed—His steadfast covenant love.As we continue, watch for the "checklists" scattered throughout these psalms. What characterizes someone who follows God? What actions characterize the wicked? What does God value? Psalms 34, 36, 37, and 41 give us practical descriptions we can use to examine our own lives and even talk with our children about the kind of people we want to become.Psalm 35 gives us words for another difficult situation: dealing with enemies. David doesn't take justice into his own hands—he asks God to deal with those who oppose him. Psalm 37 then gives us a list of what we can do while we wait: trust, delight, commit, refrain, and be still. Like Psalm 1, we're once again presented with two different ways to live.Finally, Psalms 38–41 get deeply personal. Sin affects all of us, wealth offers false security, our days are limited, and trouble will come. Yet we can confess, ask God to guard our words, remember how He has provided in the past, and trust Him with what comes next.As you read the Psalms for yourself, try looking for these practical "checklists" and use them to guide your prayers and actions. Or color-code each psalm according to its dominant emotion—praise, trouble, lament, gratitude, confession, or hope. The Psalms don't simply tell us about God. They teach us how to talk with Him.If you want the FREE hand outs that go along with this series, sign up for our newsletter at our website. Our website is The Context and Color of the BibleWe are on Facebook - The Context and Color of the Bible | FacebookWe are on Instagram - @contextandcolorofthebibleWe are on YouTube - The Context and Color of the Bible - YouTubeMusic: Tabuk by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4453-tabukLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

Think about the last time riding your motorcycle when something surprised you on the road or trail and you had to get on the brakes—hard and fast. What did that feel like? Was it unnerving? Did the motorcycle suddenly feel like something you were fighting to control? It doesn't necessarily have to feel that way. Maximum braking is a skill, but there are things to understand about your motorcycle before you even get to practising it. Clinton Smout from Smart Performance Centre takes us through what riders need to know to become more comfortable, confident and capable when they really need to stop.

Kiwi country musician Jenny Mitchell's success continues to grow. In the last few years, she's moved to Australia, released an album, and has both awards and Australian Golden Guitar nominations under her belt. She's also toured with Kasey Chambers and opened for the Lumineers, and is now set to release some brand new music. Mitchell moved to Melbourne a year and a half ago, prompted by a "completely life-changing, incredible experience". "I had the opportunity to tour with [Chambers], who is just an absolute icon," she told Mike Hosking. "She took me around Australia on tour ... so just before that tour started, my partner Toby and I moved to Melbourne, and yeah, we're loving it." "I think there's a lot of music here," she told Hosking. "Not only is it great for me to play, but there's so many venues within walking distance of where we live that I can go and watch music and get inspired." But how did Mitchell go from living in New Zealand to touring with a country music star like Kacey Chambers? "A couple of years ago, I played a show of my own, a tiny little show, and there were two people there who came in, I knew they hadn't been to a gig before, and they sang just about every word to my songs," Mitchell explained. "I had no idea that they are actually really great friends of Kasey's. They're not musical, but they love music and so they sent her my music." And so one thing led to another, and soon enough Mitchell was being asked to join Chambers' tour. "Completely changed my life." LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send us Fan MailCan the Psalms help us when we're anxious, stressed, discouraged, or overwhelmed? There seems to be a psalm for nearly every season and emotion we experience. The Psalms don't ask us to ignore what we're feeling—they give us words to bring those feelings honestly before God while continually reminding us who He is.In this episode, we tour Psalms 14–28 and discover practical ways these ancient prayers can shape our own.We see a God who is active, watching, listening, forgiving, and responding to His people. We learn that we don't have to struggle alone—we can gather people around us who will pray with us and for us. We also continue building a picture of the righteous person introduced in Psalm 1. Being "blameless" doesn't mean being perfect; these psalms describe a life oriented toward God, where our choices and actions matter.These chapters also give us prayers to borrow. When we're frustrated by the evil around us, we can tell God. When we're unsure where to go, we can pray, "Show me your ways." When we're afraid, we can remind ourselves that God is our shield and Savior. When everything around us feels unstable, we can declare with the psalmist, "I will not be shaken."Along the way, we explore Psalm 19's beautiful description of God's Torah, the battle-cry language and importance of God's name in Psalms 20–21, and Psalm 22—the psalm Jesus quoted from the cross. Rather than hearing Jesus' words as an isolated quotation, we consider how His original audience may have heard the larger psalm behind them. We also notice places where the New Testament writers return to these psalms when talking about Jesus.And once again, the Psalms give us tangible images for understanding an invisible God. He is our shield. Our Savior. Our fortress. The strong and mighty King. Instead of leaving us with abstract definitions, the Psalms give us pictures we—and our children—can remember.Through fear, frustration, guilt, uncertainty, and hope, these psalms keep bringing us back to the same place: bring what you're experiencing to God, remember what is true about Him, and learn to desire His presence above everything else.If you want the FREE hand outs that go along with this series, sign up for our newsletter at our website. Our website is The Context and Color of the BibleWe are on Facebook - The Context and Color of the Bible | FacebookWe are on Instagram - @contextandcolorofthebibleWe are on YouTube - The Context and Color of the Bible - YouTubeMusic: Tabuk by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4453-tabukLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/

Send in your music story!Home is supposed to be where you recover. For a lot of us, it's where we learned to brace for impact. We're joined by Grant, Mason, and Nate from Stay Out to talk about their new album Broken Homes and the lived experiences that shaped it, from growing up around divorce, emotional chaos, and constant tension to trying to build something healthier as an adult.We get into how touring young can flip your perspective fast. Grant talks about leaving at 17 and seeing other families up close, then realizing how much he had normalized back home. Nate shares what it's like to carry adult emotions as a kid, and how punk shows, bikes, skateboards, and making music with friends became a lifeline. We also dig into why the punk and DIY music community can feel like real family, the kind that feeds you, lets you crash, and shows up even when nobody has money.Song talk goes deep. “No Escape” hits the trapped feeling of needing to get out, not just from a town, but from a toxic household you can't control. “City Lights” brings the nostalgia, the melancholy, and that strange anthem energy that still feels like hope. Along the way we lighten things up with coffee obsession, cannabis culture, a little music news (including Frank Beard and Bonnaroo), and the kind of side stories only a long hang can produce.If Broken Homes speaks to you, share this with a friend who needs it, and please subscribe, leave a review, and tell us what song or lyric you're replaying most right now.Visit: Clogsfearus.com for more info! https://www.popcultureretrospective.com/https://www.instagram.com/popcultureretrospective/Support the showPlease give us a quick rate and review.

Stu Levitan welcomes Madison's musical Renaissance man Ben Sidran, making his fourth appearance on Madison BookBeat, to talk about his new book Cool Cat Blues: The Life and Times of Georgie Fame (Equinox). And what a life and what times, a musical career with commercial and creative success from 1958 to 2022. Touring pianist and singer with rock and roll legends Eddie Cochran and Gene Vincent at 16. Leading one of the leading British R&B group of the early sixties, Georgie Fame and the Blue Flames  -- the only UK band to tour with the Motown Revue in 1965. Being the only artist to twice knock the Beatles out of the top spot on the UK music charts, with the Blue Flames and as a solo pop singer. He financed the hip Bag O'Nails Club in Soho, where Paul and Linda McCartney met at one of his gigs  and where Jimi Hendrix gave his first official London performance, featuring the drummer, Mitch Mitchell, whom Fame had recently fired.  Then he became a respected jazz singer and songwriter. In the 1990s, charter membership in former Rolling Stone Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings and an intense ten-years as touring musical director for Van Morrison. A big band singer so popular in Scandinavia he lived for a while in Sweden, he also toured regularly in Australia with the Aussie Flames. A discography that encompasses  14 live albums, 50 singles and 34 studio albums – including three on the Go Jazz Records label. Plus scandal and tragedy both arising from the British noblewoman Nicollete Marchioness of Londonderry, whom he married in 1972 after she bore his child while married to the Marquis of Londonderry, and who jumped off a bridge to her death 21 years later.  Quite a life for the man born Clive Powell in late June, 1943 in northwest England, Lancashire county, a land of coal mines and textile mills. And holiday camp singing contests that can send a 16-year-old apprentice cotton weaver into musical history. There's no one better to tell Georgie Fame's story than his friend and colleague, Madison's own, Ben Sidran. He's performed and recorded with Georgie, traveled with him, signed him to his Go Jazz Records label and produced three albums. To list all of Ben's accomplishments would occupy the entire show, so I'll just note this appearance on Madison BookBeat, follows episodes on his books The Ballad of Tommy LiPuma, about the colorful and successful  music producer; There Was a Fire: Jews, Music and the American Dream, about those three things, and his memoir A Life in the Music. As George Wein, the legendary founder of the Newport Jazz and Folk Festivals and the New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Festival once told me, “Now Ben Sidran – he writes real books.” It is always a pleasure to see, and a special pleasure to welcome to Madison BookBeat, our friend Ben Sidran.

Bad Bunny has spent the past week reinforcing his status as both a cultural powerhouse and a business innovator, with headlines touching fashion, awards, touring strategy, money, and the broader future of Latin music. On the fashion and brand side, Hypebeast reports that Bad Bunny and adidas just unveiled the Badbo 1.0 “Puerto Rican Night,” a new navy-and-light-blue colorway of his signature sneaker that drops September 26 for around $160, revisiting his original silhouette as the line transitions to the updated Badbo 1.1 model. SneakerNews adds that this “Puerto Rican Night” release has been quietly appearing on retailer calendars and is positioned as another major moment in his long-running adidas partnership. Awards coverage this week has focused on how his Apple Music Super Bowl LX Halftime Show is now the most Emmy-decorated halftime performance ever. Yahoo Entertainment notes that the show has picked up seven Emmys across categories like outstanding variety special (live), directing, music direction, choreography, sound mixing, lighting design, technical direction, and camerawork, making Bad Bunny a first-time Emmy winner and putting his performance ahead of the 2022 hip-hop–heavy halftime show in total awards. In the industry press, Forbes is being cited in multiple outlets for a deeper look at how megastars such as Harry Styles are following Bad Bunny's lead in using residency-style runs—long stays in a single city—before expanding to full global tours. This “residency-first” strategy, highlighted as one of Bad Bunny's key touring innovations, is framed as a way to maximize revenue, reduce travel strain, and build tourism around a city while still delivering stadium-level shows. Touring and money stories continue beyond that. El Intransigente reports that Bad Bunny's fortune has reached around $100 million at age 31, crediting his massive world tour, extensive brand deals, and digital streams. The Orlando Sentinel recently ran a commentary tying this success to Puerto Rico's musical legacy, noting that his all-Spanish album DeBÍ TiRAR MáS FOToS is in the race for Album, Record, and Song of the Year at the Grammys and that his 2026 tour pushed his career touring revenue past the billion-dollar mark, making him the first Latin artist to hit that milestone and underlining how global audiences embrace his unapologetically Puerto Rican sound. Family and fashion also crept into the conversation this week. Ground News, summarizing Brazilian outlet Globo, points out that his brother Bernie Martínez Ocasio has been turning heads at New York Fashion Week, walking several shows and drawing attention for his striking resemblance to Bad Bunny, with social media dubbing them “twins” and discussing how the entire Martínez Ocasio family is stepping into the spotlight. Social and streaming stats continue to show his reach. Chartmetric's latest update, refreshed September 20, notes roughly 53.5 million Instagram followers, 41.5 million TikTok followers, more than 123 million Spotify followers, and over 53 million YouTube subscribers, with hundreds of millions of monthly video views. TikTok tracking by Crawlora echoes those numbers on his official account, highlighting that even when he posts sparingly, his presence drives enormous engagement. Bad Bunny is also being pulled into broader cultural and political narratives. The New York Post, in a piece about U.S. campaign tactics, references how his name gets invoked to attract crowds, underscoring the perception that a Bad Bunny appearance can transform any event's draw. Meanwhile, The Hill uses his reaction to an AI-generated song in his cloned voice—“Demo 5: Nostalgia,” mixing fake verses from him, Daddy Yankee, and Justin Bieber—to anchor a debate about AI and Latin music. According to that report, Bad Bunny told fans in his WhatsApp channel that anyone who enjoyed the track should leave, and investigative pieces have found his catalog inside massive AI training datasets assembled without authorization, fueling ongoing lawsuits from major labels against AI music platforms. On the music side, older hits stay present in pop culture. German broadcaster Joyn features a contestant on The Voice of Germany taking on his track Tití Me Preguntó, noting that the song has crossed a billion views on YouTube and remains one of the most hyped and technically challenging reggaeton tracks to perform on television. Across all of this, the story of the week is that Bad Bunny isn't slowing down: new sneaker drops, record-breaking awards for a halftime show, pioneering touring formats, expanding family visibility in fashion, and front-line involvement in the fight over AI and artist rights. His numbers suggest he remains one of the most influential artists on earth, and press from Latin America, the U.S., and Europe are treating him as a central figure in where global music is headed next.

Michael Loftus returns with political frustration, road stories, pop-culture detours, and the kind of righteous ranting that makes The Loftus Party Podcast what it is.After recounting his trip to Northern California for an event featuring gubernatorial candidate Steve Hilton, Michael argues that the state remains beautiful, valuable, and worth saving from increasingly expensive and destructive progressive leadership. He discusses California's political future, government spending, how wildfire-relief money is handled, and why voters should choose common sense over socialism.The conversation also covers Mitch McConnell's return to Washington, a practical life hack, upcoming live appearances, Oasis ticket fever, and President Donald Trump's proposed $5,000 voter dividend. Michael explains why supporting Trump does not require treating him as infallible, revisiting the COVID response, border-wall funding, rampant government waste, the Russia-collusion investigation, January 6, and the unequal treatment of Trump allies.It's politics, comedy, travel, music, and mounting disbelief at a government capable of wasting billions while insisting it cannot afford the things voters were promised.Want to show your support and get all the cool extras?

What happens when the voice that takes you to some of the world's biggest stages is also the one you're still learning to claim as your own?Singer, songwriter, educator, and author Machan Taylor has spent a lifetime navigating the space between performance and identity. Born in post-war Japan to a Japanese mother and American father, Machan was uprooted at four years old and brought to New Jersey, leaving behind her language, family, culture, and the only home she knew. Years later, she would recognize that experience as an early trauma that quietly shaped her sense of belonging.In this episode of Giving Pain Purpose, Machan and Lyndsay explore the complicated journey of finding your voice when so much of your life has been spent adapting, performing, and trying to figure out where you fit. Machan shares how music became both sanctuary and identity, eventually taking her to stages with artists including Pink Floyd, Sting, Foreigner, Pat Benatar, and George Benson, all while the woman behind the applause was still wrestling with insecurity, imposter syndrome, family trauma, and the feeling that she wasn't enough.They talk openly about addiction, abusive relationships, the masks we wear to survive, and the long, nonlinear work of healing. Machan also shares how therapy, Buddhism, meditation, and later psychedelic-assisted therapy helped her reconnect with parts of herself she had left behind, including the little girl who left Japan all those years ago.At its core, this conversation is about more than a remarkable music career. It's about stripping away the performance, making peace with every version of yourself, and finding the courage to tell your story—naked, out loud.Episode Highlights:(00:00) Introduction to Machon Taylor's Journey(02:53) From Japan to the World Stage(09:51) Family Dynamics and Childhood Trauma(13:24) Music as a Path to Belonging(16:28) Touring with Major Artists and Internal Struggles(19:08) Dealing with Substance Use and Self-Protection(21:43) The Ongoing Search for Identity(27:15) Healing Through Psychedelic Therapy(35:49) Spiritual Practices and Full Circle(39:41) The Power of Sharing Our Stories(43:47) Final Reflections and Words of EncouragementFind Machan Taylor Online Here:Website: machantaylor.comInstagram: @machantaylorofficialFacebook: Machan TaylorLinkedIn: Machan TaylorYouTube: Machan Taylor OfficialBook: Naked Out Loud From Yokohama to Pink FloydFind Giving Pain Purpose Online Here:Website: givingpainpurpose.comInstagram: @givingpainpurposeFacebook: The Giving Pain Purpose PodcastLinkedIn: Lyndsay SopranoYouTube: @givingpainpurposeShop: thegivingpainpurposeshop.comSubscribe on YouTube | Merch Shop is OPEN!! | COMING SOON: The Pain Hub - A Women's Healing Community.

It started with a tweet. Someone in the ASAP mob posted that he'd just gotten a G Pen and was looking for wax. Hope saw it, brought some over, and by the end of that week he was with the whole crew after the show.That one post turned into years of access. Touring with Flatbush Zombies from Seattle to Santa Ana. Meeting Ted before Alien Labs was Alien Labs, back when it was Lemon Fuel OG and a six lighter in Reading. Running around High Times Cups collecting flavors like Pokemon cards and coming home with fifteen jars at a time.Then the Mendo run. In 2016 he convinced Greener Fields to sell the original Skittles cut, took $20,000, called Ted, and drove up in the middle of the night. That cut plus an OZ Kush seed became Brainwash, the collab they finally did last year.He also has a documented photo from backstage at a Smokers Club show at Best Buy Theater, him with Rocky, Playboi Carti, Ian Connor and others, showing them Skittles for the very first time while everyone was still on OG.Plus the Toad Venom deal with The Flowery in Florida, and how the Talking Terps merch relationship turned into a strain drop.Want the stuff we can't put on YouTube?

Is life on the road really as traumatic as some musicians make it sound?Kurt, Tully, Kelley and Neil compare today's touring culture with the years they spent chasing the dream in vans, trailers and buses—sometimes playing nearly 200 shows a year without knowing whether success would ever come.They also discuss whether country award shows still represent country fans, apologize for an interview that didn't go as planned and react to an alleged $1.3 million fake-NFL-player scam.The guys then pause to remember the 25th anniversary of September 11, share where they were that morning and reflect on the unity America experienced afterward.Later, “Dipshidiot” returns with terrible drivers, driving-range invaders and a chocolate-eating treadmill walker. The episode closes with candid advice for aspiring country artists about writing-room etiquette, respecting veteran songwriters and always remaining open to the song that could change everything.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Send us Fan MailWe're heading back to Book One of the Psalms! Earlier in this series, we studied Psalms 1 and 2 in depth, but we hadn't yet started our "tour guide" approach. So in this episode, we're going back to tour Psalms 3–13 and notice the landmarks, repeated themes, and pictures of God we might otherwise miss.One thing becomes obvious very quickly: there's a lot of trouble in these psalms. Enemies surround David. Wickedness seems to flourish. The psalmists wrestle with fear, anger, discipline, injustice, and the difficult question of why God doesn't seem to be acting.But again and again, we encounter an important turn: But God...David can sleep peacefully while surrounded by enemies because God is with him. God is his shield. God hears his cries. God sees both the righteous and the wicked. God is Judge. God remains on His throne. And even when circumstances haven't changed, the psalmist can remember God's chesed—His steadfast covenant love expressed through His faithful acts of kindness.Throughout this episode, we encourage you to use the Psalms to build a picture of who God is. Pay attention to the tangible images they give us, like God as a shield, and ask a simple question as you read: What does this psalm teach me about God?These chapters also give families plenty of opportunities to practice Scripture together. Psalm 3:5 can encourage a child who is afraid at night. Psalm 8 is a wonderful psalm to memorize for praise. Other psalms can help children learn what righteous and wicked behavior actually looks like, while giving them words for fear, anger, sadness, repentance, and hope.The Psalms don't teach us to pretend everything is okay. They teach us how to bring what's wrong to God—and then remember what is true about Him.Trouble may be real. Evil may be present. We may not understand why God hasn't acted yet.But God is still there. But God sees. But God hears. But God is on His throne.If you want the FREE hand outs that go along with this series, sign up for our newsletter at our website. Our website is The Context and Color of the BibleWe are on Facebook - The Context and Color of the Bible | FacebookWe are on Instagram - @contextandcolorofthebibleWe are on YouTube - The Context and Color of the Bible - YouTubeMusic: Tabuk by Kevin MacLeod Link: https://incompetech.filmmusic.io/song/4453-tabukLicense: http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/4.0/
