This week's episode of Creatives on Fire is a rapid-fire breakdown of how to get more eyeballs on your top-performing blog posts without creating new content from scratch. These ideas will help you stretch the life of your posts, build momentum, and ultimately increase your traffic, engagement, and income. https://creativesonfirepodcast.com/episode195 You've already done the hard work. Now let's make that blog post work even harder for you. Why You Should Be Repurposing Blog Content If a post is performing well, don't let it sit idle. Instead of constantly creating something new, build systems around redistributing your best content to give it a longer shelf life. Whether it's via social, email, video, or products—there are countless ways to extend the value of your top content. Here are 13 creative ways to do exactly that: 1. Pull a Quote and Share It as Text on Social Media Find a powerful line or tip from your blog post and share it as plain text on a colorful background. This works great on Facebook, Instagram, and even in stories. Add the blog link in the first comment or the caption to drive traffic. 2. Turn Blog Graphics into a Social Carousel or Reel Take 5–10 graphics or photos from the blog post and create a quick-scroll carousel or a short video reel. This is perfect for Instagram or Facebook and helps breathe new life into your visuals. Bonus tip: Use a tool like Post Planner (linked below in the episode) to put your graphics on autopilot. 3. Create Multiple Pinterest Pins Don't stop at one pin. Create 5–10 different versions with varied images and headlines. Use different boards—including a board dedicated to that one blog post if it performs exceptionally well. 4. Create a Long-Form Tutorial Video If the post is a how-to or recipe, turn it into a YouTube video or a longer Facebook/Instagram tutorial. Walk your audience through the steps while linking to the original post for the full details. 5. Share It in Stories as a Talking Point Pop into your Instagram or Facebook stories and talk about the post. No editing required. Just share what it's about and why it's worth their time. Add a link sticker to send people directly to the post. 6. Share It on Syndicated Sites Find niche-specific platforms like Hometalk, Foodgawker, or CraftGawker (depending on your niche) and submit your content. Always tag relevant brands or creators—they may reshare and expand your reach even further. 7. Turn It into a Digital Product or Ebook Copy and paste your post into ChatGPT or Canva Docs and ask it to format it as an ebook. Sell it as a low-ticket product or bundle it with similar content in your shop. 8. Make It a Lead Magnet Use your most popular post as an opt-in offer. For example: “Want to learn how to make a perfect messy bow? Grab the tutorial here!” Collect emails and deliver the blog post as the freebie. 9. Repurpose It for Your Email List Paste the first paragraph or a juicy snippet into your weekly newsletter with a link to the full post. You can even pull content from old posts this time last year—done is better than perfect! 10. Link It to Other Blog Posts Add links to this top-performing post at the bottom of other related content. This internal linking helps readers (and Google) stay on your site longer and see your most valuable content. 11. Use It in a Roundup Post Create a themed roundup that includes the top blog post. If your lemon bundt cake is going viral, write a “Best Lemon Desserts” roundup and include that post (plus two to three more). Internal linking and SEO win-win. 12. Record It as Audio or Podcast Content Add an audio version of the post to your blog (tools like Play.ht or ConvertKit's new audio block work well), or reference it on your podcast. You can even read it word-for-word as an episode. 13. Mention It in Your Live Video or Stories (Bonus Tip!) Talk about the post while you're live or in your weekly stories. Use keyword triggers and automated tools to send the link when viewers comment. This is great for engagement and email list growth. Make Repurposing a Habit, Not a One-Off Choose 3–5 of these ideas to start with and build a routine. Repurposing doesn't have to be overwhelming—just intentional. Add these steps to your content checklist and watch your reach and results grow. Got another creative way to repurpose a post?

Dr. Paul Alexander Liberty Hour – If you are a heavy drinker and potential alcoholic as some argued Hegseth is/was, would you be able to trust yourself as head of SECDEF? Are you fully out of the influence of the alcohol after your bouts? Can you just TURN IT off? I want us to have an honest debate, where the lives of millions of soldiers are in your hands, up to and including nuclear war initiation. Is Hakke right to raise this issue?

On this day –and it had to be the day I had just go happened to be flush with ideas, filled with music and enough anger and angst to have thrown or smashed something The energy seated deep inside me wanted–needed to explode into a fit of fury and rage; but the calm forces of love and nature overtook and relaxed me–and though I envisioned myself tearing the world apart, I remained explicitly calm and collected, breathing in a shallow heap beneath my breath and through a layers of thick clothing, I walked alongside the pavement nearly wherever I was going with a stout and callous, yet not altogether unforgiving faith,my misjudgement of what had gathered around me in a collusion of Dammit.

(now back to the novel.) alright . The first time he wandered into the storefront, I of course immediately avoided any direct eye contact, as I typically did with any attractive Caucasian male, especially in thick glasses—not that I noticed who he was at all before Nick mentioned it—and not that I actually did believe Nick at all when he did; I had immediately looked away, anyhow, and rightly so. “You remember that show Drake & Josh?” , asked Nick coyly, as the man exited “What about it?” , I asked unassumingly “That's that nigga Josh Bell”, he nodded— “Oh”, I bawked, thinking twice to correct him, but instead opting to seem unaffected—mostly I thought he was lying, but it at least had sparked my imiagination enough to remember I had begun writing about Cosmo and Wanda's life after the conclusion of Fairly Oddparents, not yet having returned until now to inspiration—suddenly I was flooded with the remnants of a song I had once loved enough to keep on repeat, which I was of course prompted to listen to as soon as possible, and with which a story unfolded in front of my eyes and beneath my feet, as I left to work the next day with my then-newest mix ringing in my ears—and an actual narrative for Timmy Turner himself, now reaching middle age, as I was— and, to my suprise, a couple nights and a million lifetimes later, when the well dressed man caught my eye again, after having resisted the urge to waste a Google just to verify what may well have been a farse—God took the liberty of playing show-and-tell—and for some reason, it was his voice, along with a quick and striking once-over, that it was in fact once more—and rather than his stardom that made me nervous, it was perhaps more so that he was, in fact, extremely attractive, especially my type—and actually, probably at most—the overflow of things I had written and already published about him in my imaginary world—the place where I lived, but wasn't entirely sure anyone else was aware of. His pink sweatshirt and ball cap tempted me to Google exactly what it was Timmy Turner used to wear—in my creative headspace, I thought to myself, blushing a little as he walked away, still swinging to the Detroit Drill music in the background “What's Timmy Turner up to tonight?” Perhaps it was my sex drive getting the better of me—I had wholeheartedly been indulging in the tater tots at the hot bar for three nights exactly—but at least I was back in the gym, where I listened over my mixes, playing over Timmy Turner by Desiigner, envisioning the Fairyless Timmy's trials, intermingling the fictional trademark into my multidimensional science fiction fantasy-action world—and somewhat hoping the real-life Drake has no way to creep into my ultra-conscience hyper sexual fantasies, disallowing my mind to run too wildly. It was late at night, or rather, early in the morning—and I was just the girl at the smokeshop—meanwhile, in the fourth dimension, Timmy Turner was more than likely.. TIMMY TURNER open the registers. CASHIERS Fuck that, bro— —no, way, man —on God— TIMMY TURNER produces a Glock. OH SHIT —OH HELL NAW. The cashiers raise their arms in surrender.

Not all the cabins even have toilets. That's seriously disturbing. It's supposed to be— And why is the bathtub separate from the toilet— —or where the toilet should be— Right— Because— there are 43 of us in this quadrant; some of you are gonna have to shit and shower at the same time.

(now back to the novel.) alright . The first time he wandered into the storefront, I of course immediately avoided any direct eye contact, as I typically did with any attractive Caucasian male, especially in thick glasses—not that I noticed who he was at all before Nick mentioned it—and not that I actually did believe Nick at all when he did; I had immediately looked away, anyhow, and rightly so. “You remember that show Drake & Josh?” , asked Nick coyly, as the man exited “What about it?” , I asked unassumingly “That's that nigga Josh Bell”, he nodded— “Oh”, I bawked, thinking twice to correct him, but instead opting to seem unaffected—mostly I thought he was lying, but it at least had sparked my imiagination enough to remember I had begun writing about Cosmo and Wanda's life after the conclusion of Fairly Oddparents, not yet having returned until now to inspiration—suddenly I was flooded with the remnants of a song I had once loved enough to keep on repeat, which I was of course prompted to listen to as soon as possible, and with which a story unfolded in front of my eyes and beneath my feet, as I left to work the next day with my then-newest mix ringing in my ears—and an actual narrative for Timmy Turner himself, now reaching middle age, as I was— and, to my suprise, a couple nights and a million lifetimes later, when the well dressed man caught my eye again, after having resisted the urge to waste a Google just to verify what may well have been a farse—God took the liberty of playing show-and-tell—and for some reason, it was his voice, along with a quick and striking once-over, that it was in fact once more—and rather than his stardom that made me nervous, it was perhaps more so that he was, in fact, extremely attractive, especially my type—and actually, probably at most—the overflow of things I had written and already published about him in my imaginary world—the place where I lived, but wasn't entirely sure anyone else was aware of. His pink sweatshirt and ball cap tempted me to Google exactly what it was Timmy Turner used to wear—in my creative headspace, I thought to myself, blushing a little as he walked away, still swinging to the Detroit Drill music in the background “What's Timmy Turner up to tonight?” Perhaps it was my sex drive getting the better of me—I had wholeheartedly been indulging in the tater tots at the hot bar for three nights exactly—but at least I was back in the gym, where I listened over my mixes, playing over Timmy Turner by Desiigner, envisioning the Fairyless Timmy's trials, intermingling the fictional trademark into my multidimensional science fiction fantasy-action world—and somewhat hoping the real-life Drake has no way to creep into my ultra-conscience hyper sexual fantasies, disallowing my mind to run too wildly. It was late at night, or rather, early in the morning—and I was just the girl at the smokeshop—meanwhile, in the fourth dimension, Timmy Turner was more than likely.. TIMMY TURNER open the registers.

It's not sinking in, it's being melted away. Gives the same impression. Odd how the mind interprets things.... FRANK I think it just got bigger. PROF Really? FRANK I was watching, and I think it swelled a little. PROF Could be heat waves. I suspect something like this would reflect like asphalt. But let's test it. The shovel's not good for much any more anyway. SOUND METAL ON STONE GRATE, SIZZLING FRANK Don't touch it! PROF My hand is nowhere near touching it. I merely want to see... FRANK Look! It's getting larger! I can see it! SOUND WOOD ON STONE PROF [impressed] Well! [clinical] But it generates no appreciable heat. Odd.

MUSIC 4_SHERIFF AMBIANCE OUTDOORS, AT THE SITE FRANK See what I mean? PROF Seems the larger it gets, the faster it grows. Not surprising, if what I suspect is happening is true. FRANK What's that? PROF Say it absorbs whatever it touches. The more surface area, the more it can touch, the more it can absorb. FRANK That's not good. It's like some kind of... of leech.

PROF Make a note - Frank needs a stopwatch. FRANK Oh. Ok. Right. SOUND SCRIBBLING O'DONNELL You called this thing a leech, professor? PROF As I said, it is nothing but a name to refer to it by. O'DONNELL But it is leeching, far as I can tell - eating anything that gets near it. PROF Which bodes rather ill for the underside. O'DONNELL Whazzat? PROF You're only thinking about things that get near it on the top - who knows how far below this thing may have eaten away the dirt, or even the bedrock. FRANK Dirt and stones do seem to digest a bit slower. O'DONNELL You've been experimenting with it, eh? Did you by any chance MAKE this thing with one of your experiments, professor? PROF [sigh] First, general, I am not that type of scientist. I am a professor of anthropology. I do, however, understand scientific method and felt that if we established some parameters up front, such as rate of growth, speed of dissolution, etc., we might be able to more easily convince some of my hard science colleagues to come and have a look.

O'DONNELL You're a professor, right? PROF Yes. Anthropology. O'DONNELL Good. I'd like you to stay around in an advisory capacity. I'd appreciate your observations on the... enemy. PROF I think this is more in the line of a physicist or a biochemist. O'DONNELL I don't want this place cluttered up with scientists. FRANK But he isn't-- O'DONNELL Don't get me wrong. I have the greatest appreciation for science. I am, if I do say so, a scientific soldier. I'm always interested in the latest weapons. You can't fight any kind of a war any more without science. PROF Of course not. O'DONNELL But I can't have a team of longhairs poking around this thing for the next month, holding me up. My job is to destroy it, by any means in my power, and at once. I am going to do just that. PROF I don't think it will be that easy. O'DONNELL That's what you're here for. Tell me what the problem is, and I'll figure out how to solve it. FRANK [muttered] Usually a scientist's job. PROF Very well. As far as I can figure out, this thing-- O'DONNELL The leech. PROF It isn't really-- O'DONNELL It's the codename. FRANK [muttered] I'm the one who called it that in the first place. PROF The "leech" appears to be an organic mass-energy converter, and a frighteningly efficient one. I'm guessing here, and keep in mind that this is really not my-- O'DONNELL Get on with it. PROF It appears to convert external mass into energy, then back into its own internal mass. Energy is directly converted into the body mass. How this takes place, I do not know. The leech is not protoplasmic. It may not even be cellular-- O'DONNELL So we need something big against it. That's all right, then. I've got plenty of big stuff here. FRANK Oh boy! PROF I don't think you understand me. Let me rephrase. [intense] The leech eats energy! It will consume any energy weapon you use against it. O'DONNELL [considering] And what happens if it keeps on eating? PROF I think it will only be limited by its food source. O'DONNELL So when it runs out, we'll all be safe? PROF When it runs out, we'll all be gone. MUSIC LEECH J LEECH senses growing. Feel moving food. Sitting food. Food near. Food far. Waiting for food to come near. Hungrrrrry. MUSIC 11_NEED HELP AMBIANCE INSIDE HEADQUARTERS TENT PROF I insist you contact some physicists. Biologists and chemists too. Give them a chance to figure out how to nullify it. I can give you some names. O'DONNELL I don't have time to wait while a passel of scientists wrangle! I have this axiom - Muster enough force, and anything will give. Anything. FRANK [muttered] Military thinking. O'DONNELL [pleased] Thanks. PROF [sigh] But I am not that kind of-- O'DONNELL Don't sell yourself short, Prof! And don't underestimate the army. We have, massed under North Hill - right over there - the greatest accumulation of energy and radioactive weapons ever assembled in one spot. I bet even this leech won't withstand the full force of all that. FRANK [worried] Professor? PROF [doubtful] I suppose it could be possible to overload the thing. O'DONNELL [smug] I'll go and give some orders. We're gonna crack that leech in half! SOUND HE LEAVES FRANK Did he listen to a single thing you said? PROF [sigh] He is the military. FRANK Then why are you - we - even here? PROF I fear the general wants to be able to say he consulted a scientist. I'm convenient since I can't possibly have a relevant opinion.

O'DONNELL Sixty-seven men died! And the leech just - just jumped there! PROF I still say it hovered. It definitely moved with some sort of self-propulsion. FRANK I'll write that down. PROF The way it looked, it floated across the sky, blacking out the sun, and then, when it reached its goal, it simply dropped. O'DONNELL [snarling] How can you be so clinical about this? FRANK I - I- PROF It's OUR job to take notes for the scientists you will eventually have to call in. MUSIC LEECH L LEECH So good! So nice! Rich food. Much energy. Growwww. Yessss. Ahhhh. More cells. Now, more hungry. MUSIC 13_EXPERTS AMBIANCE INSIDE HEADQUARTERS TENT SOUND PACING O'DONNELL Haven't those eggheads made up their minds yet? We've had to evacuate six nearby farms. FRANK It's not like choosing a tie. O'DONNELL But they're the experts! PROF No one's an expert on this. It's never happened before. The physicists consider it a biological matter, and the biologists seem to think the chemists should have the answer. We can't even agree on whose problem it is! O'DONNELL It's the military's problem! I don't give a hang what the thing is! I just want to know how to destroy it! [offhand] They better give me permission to use the bomb. SOUND STRIDES OFF FRANK Will that work? PROF Well, I have a theory. FRANK Yes? PROF Which I hope will remain a theory. FRANK How can I make notes if you don't tell me? PROF The Bomb might overload it. MIGHT destroy it. Or give it what it needs to grow big enough to devour the entire continent. Sooner. SOUND FEET STRIDE BACK O'DONNELL Still talking! Gah! I've been pushing for the Bomb for a week now! And I'll get it, but not til they run out of doubletalk! FRANK Could be a while. O'DONNELL [intense] I am going to destroy that leech. I am going to SMASH it, if it's the last thing I do! It's gone beyond national security now. THIS is personal. SOUND STRIDES OFF PROF I knew you shouldn't have named it. FRANK Why? PROF Once you name something, you get to thinking you KNOW it. And no matter how much you think you won't, you start applying traits to it. Anthropomorphizing it. Attaching motives and feelings to it. FRANK Who says it doesn't feel? PROF It does. O'DONNELL [from off] Here come the bright boys now! MUSIC LEECH M LEECH So big. Big now. Big makes hungry. So much to fill. So much to feed. Need more. More good rich food. MUSIC 14_SCIENTISTS AMBIANCE INSIDE HEADQUARTERS TENT O'DONNELL Well, have you figured out what it is yet? ALLENSON [weary sarcasm] Just a minute - I'll hack off a sample. Hah. O'DONNELL [exasperated] Have you figured out some scientific way of killing it? MORIARTY [dry, offhand] Oh, that wasn't difficult at all. FRANK Really? MORIARTY Wrap it in a perfect vacuum. That'll do the trick. Or blow it off the earth with anti-gravity. FRANK Can they really? PROF Don't be silly. ALLENSON Failing that, we suggest you use your atomic bombs and use them fast. O'DONNELL Yes! [vainly trying to curb his enthusiasm] Is that the opinion of the entire think tank? MORIARTY [sigh] Yes. SOUND GENERAL HURRIES OFF ALLENSON He should have called us in immediately! There's no time to consider anything but force now. PROF Have you come to any conclusions about the nature of this thing? MORIARTY Only general ones. Very much in line with your notes and conclusions. ALLENSON As you mentioned, it's a perfect converter--it can transform mass into energy, and any energy into mass. MORIARTY Naturally that's impossible and I have figures to prove it. We're positing that this thing was in some dormant spore-stage until it was pulled in by the earth's gravity. ALLENSON Incidentally, we should be damned grateful that it didn't land in the ocean. We'd have been eaten out of house and home-- FRANK Literally. ALLENSON --before we even knew what we were looking for. PROF [musing] I wonder how long it will take him to get permission to use the bomb. MUSIC LEECH N LEECH slow grow. Hungry. No grow. Dull food not enough. Want more. Want grow. Want be big again. MUSIC 15_BOMBS AMBIANCE INSIDE HEADQUARTERS TENT O'DONNELL Brigadier-General, with all due respect sir, how many MORE scientists can there be? We've been waiting for-- BRIG-GENERAL [on phone] Washington had to explore every alternative before detonating an atomic bomb in the middle of New York! O'DONNELL So now I can use the bomb? BRIG-GENERAL We need some time to evacuate people in an orderly fashion. O'DONNELL Sir! This leech is still growing! We have to stop it before it gets out of hand! FRANK Bit late for that. PROF Shh. He's doing the best he can. BRIG-GENERAL We've signed you out five bombs. Use them well. But not until the order comes through. MUSIC LEECH O LEECH slowing. Drowsing. Waiting. Cells starving. Too much need food. Tired... SOUND EXPLOSION LEECH YESSSS! Foooooood! Much! Too much! Holding! Choking! No! straining.... straining! More cells. Need more cells! Building! Feeeeeeeeding! Choking? [beat] No. SOUND BOMB LEECH Enough cells now. Rich food. More. Grow. Build. JOY. MUSIC 16_SIXTY MILES AMBIANCE INSIDE NEW HEADQUARTERS TENT O'DONNELL Sixty miles across. PROF There was no way to know. O'DONNELL This was supposed to KILL it. FRANK At least there was no fallout. PROF I'm sure it ate THAT too. O'DONNELL I have to KILL IT! Do you hear me! The blasted thing has spread all the way to the Adirondacks! FRANK What's next? More bombs? PROF I don't think it's advisable. If we throw enough at it to crack it, we might crack open the earth's crust. O'DONNELL The leech has to be blown up quick. What are the bright boys hedging for? PROF They don't know what will happen. The concentration of bombs it would require-- O'DONNELL Perhaps they'd like me to order a bayonet attack. FRANK They've got to do something. PROF It's frustrating. I keep feeling like I should be doing more, but this simply isn't my area of expertise! That thing thrives on force - and the scientists don't have time to consider any alternatives. FRANK Fight fire with fire. PROF But it's not fire. Fire is fickle. Fire is Loki. Fire is a trickster. This thing is... is... O'DONNELL Where the heck are the scientists? SOUND TENT FLAP ALLENSON [coming in] We've finished the calculations. O'DONNELL Good. I'll call in the strike. MORIARTY There's a damned good chance of splitting the earth wide open with that much power! O'DONNELL You have to take chances in war. FRANK He doesn't even care! PROF He cares. He just doesn't care about that. Hercules himself couldn't turn the general from his course. ALLENSON Hear us out! O'DONNELL Your own calculations show that the leech is now growing at twenty feet per hour. So how much time is that before it reaches this post? FRANK He's got a point. PROF [musing] Hercules.... Something... ALLENSON And speeding up. But this can't be done in haste-- PROF Aha! O'DONNELL What? PROF I may have a counter-offer. O'DONNELL Does it involve me blowing up the leech? PROF It's a very dim chance, but... [trails off] O'DONNELL Yes? PROF have you ever heard of Antaeus? MUSIC LEECH P LEECH more large. more thought. More memory. Large rock and dirt and stone food. Devoured. Joy. Huge mass of combustibles - light and heat and energy! Food. True joy! SOUND MEMORY SOUNDS LEECH then all devoured. Dark. Cold. Empty. Cells Shrinking, dying, self-devouring self. Moving. Seeking. Food. MUSIC 17_DRONE SHIP AMB OUTSIDE SOUND SMALL PLANE PASSES OVERHEAD FRANK So that's what a drone looks like. PROF Pretty much like any other rocket ship. The pilot just happens to be over there in the tent. O'DONNELL I hope you're right about this, professor. MORIARTY The calculations all validate the hypothesis. If what you said about the creature's motivational capability is accurate-- FRANK There it goes! O'DONNELL Straight up! Son of a biscuit! PROF It's - it's - enormous! MUSIC LEECH Q SOUND FIGHTER PLANE BUZZES PAST LEECH Food! Rich food! Above! Out of reach! Why not fall? Come to me? Food! ... seek. SOUND BUZZ OF FIGHTER PLANE MOVING AWAY LEECH heat! Small food. Cold! Nothing. Ah, little flying food, come to - oh. Oh, yes. Far. There. Huge bright glowing mass of combustibles. Food. MUSIC 18_ANTAEUS AMBIANCE OUTDOORS FRANK Wow. Now, that's a crater. PROF You can look at it later. I keep worrying that I've missed something. FRANK But the leech is gone, professor! Right up and out of the atmosphere. PROF There's no way to be sure it won't come back. FRANK Everybody's going to be watching for the leech. PROF Please don't call it that. FRANK What then? Antaeus? Who's that anyway? PROF Greek Mythology. Son of Gaea and Poseidon - the earth goddess and sea god. He was an invincible wrestler, drawing his strength from the earth itself. FRANK His mom. Apron strings, even in mythology. PROF [chuckles] Well, Hercules had to wrestle him, and every time Hercules threw him to the ground, he rose refreshed. FRANK Didn't Hercules know about the earth? PROF He figured it out. After that, he just held Antaeus up in the air until he gave up. O'DONNELL [off slightly] Come on, join me in some champagne. Even you brainy folks can use a little celebration! MORIARTY [happily] Maybe just a sip! ALLENSON I don't mind if I do. FRANK Be there in a minute! [to prof] So the fighter rocketship they sent up will just keep leading it around in space til it gets tired and drops dead? O'DONNELL Better. It's going to take it right into the sun. Big or not, the damn thing can't eat THAT. PROF Lord, I hope not. O'DONNELL [to pilot] How's the ship, pilot? PILOT Just reached the orbit of Mercury, sir. O'DONNELL Fine! Fine. I swore to destroy that thing. Not the way I wanted to do it - too far out to see it go up with my own eyes - If I had a choice, it would be more personal. But the important thing is the destruction. Destruction is at times a sacred mission. Man, I feel wonderful! MORIARTY [panicky] Turn the rocket!!!! TURN IT! O'DONNELL What the devil? MORIARTY Considering rate of growth, energy consumption capacity, and speed versus projected energy retention, figuring in the energy it will receive from the sun as it approaches-- O'DONNELL Speak English! MORIARTY [dire warning] It's gonna devour the sun. MUSIC LEECH R LEECH closer! Closer! More heat! More light! All! Must have all! Small rich food moving away. Choice. Nearby small food? Far big food? Hungry NOW. Close first. Catch quick, feed enough to move to big food. Yes! MUSIC 19_TURN AWAY AMBIANCE INSIDE HEADQUARTERS TENT PILOT It's turning, sir! ALL [general sounds of relief] ALLENSON Take it out at right angles to the plane of the solar system. SOUND RADAR [start much earlier] FRANK So the blob is the leech and the dot is the ship? PROF Yes. O'DONNELL What portion of the sky would the leech be in just now? MORIARTY Somewhere out in that section - just over that tree. O'DONNELL Fine. [calling order back over shoulder] Soldier! Carry out your orders! ALL [surprised concern - "what?" "huh" "what are you up to?" etc.] FRANK [calling] The dot is slowing down! The blob is catching up! PROF What are you up to, general? O'DONNELL [grim satisfaction] I told you this was a personal matter. I swore to destroy that leech. We can never have any security while it is alive. [chuckles triumphantly] I had that ship especially built. PROF To do... what... precisely? O'DONNELL Shall we look at the sky? SOUND FEET, TENT FLAP, ETC. as they leave. O'DONNELL Soldier? PILOT Three seconds, sir! O'DONNELL Push the button. PILOT Yes, sir! FRANK is something supposed to-- Whoah! MORIARTY Not a good idea to look directly at the explosion! PROF What... did... you... do? O'DONNELL [smug] That rocket was built around a hydrogen bomb. I set it off at the contact moment. FRANK How come there's no sound? Thought there'd be a loud bang or something. Is it like thunder? ALLENSON Sound doesn't travel in a vacuum. PROF [explaining] We're anthropologists. O'DONNELL [calling to pilot] Anything on the radar? PILOT [from within] Nope! Not a speck, sir. O'DONNELL Men - and scientists - I have met the enemy and he is MINE. Let's have some more of that champagne. PROF I wish I was that sure. MUSIC LEECH S LEECH Catching food. Slowing. Tiring. Catch. Massive surge! Too much! Holding! Holding! Absorbing! Building! No! No! overload! Too much! Breaking! Come apart! Losing thought! Losing cohesion! Breaking. Broken. Shattered. SOUND [long moment of silence, then in squeaky little voices:] LEECHETTE1 Hungry LEECHETTE2 Hungry LEECHETTE3 Hungry LEECHETTE4 cold. hungry LEECHETTE5 Hungry [more and more leechettes until they populate the entire soundscape] LEECH [MANY VOICES] hungry.

And we love Slaughter! Vinnie finally gave us the falsetto we've been waiting for on this week's episode! We're talking Slaughter, and it's our longest episode yet. We were almost up all night recording it. We were Slaughter fans when "Stick it to Ya" dropped and we're excited to come back to it! We take a look at where it all began in the Vinnie Vincent Invasion explosion of a music video for "Boyz Are Gonna Rock", we head for that debut album and talk about its iconic production, sound effects, album art and then watch the video for "Up All Night". While we were getting it stuck to us, we checked out "Loaded Gun", then took off down the catalog to 1997's "Hard to Say Goodbye" from the "Revolution" album. After discussing the paths that all the guys took, we have a listen to "Turn It" from Mark Slaughter's solo album, "Halfway There". We also check out a cover project called "SlaughtHER" before we pay tribute to Charlie Watts with a classic Rolling Stones track, "If You Can't Rock Me". If they can't pod you, you know we will!

Kylie is the debut studio album by Australian recording artist Kylie Minogue, released on 4 July 1988 by Mushroom Records. Minogue had established herself as a child actress before signing to the record label in early 1987. The success of her debut single, "Locomotion", resulted in her working with Stock, Aitken and Waterman, who produced the album and wrote nine of its ten tracks. Their recording sessions, which started in September 1987 and took place in London and Melbourne, coincided with Minogue filming for the soap opera Neighbours.Musically, Kylie is a bubblegum pop and dance-pop album. It received mixed reviews from contemporary music critics who criticized its dated production. It was a commercial success, peaking at number one in the United Kingdom for six weeks and becoming the best-selling album of 1988. It is her only number-one album in New Zealand, while peaking at number two in her native Australia. In the United States, it was certified gold for selling over 500,000 copies. Kylie was certified six times platinum in the United Kingdom and has sold over five million copies worldwide.To promote Kylie, "I Should Be So Lucky" was released as the first single by the newly founded PWL Records in late December 1987. It reached number one in Australia and the United Kingdom, the first for any artist. The subsequent singles—"Got to Be Certain", the re-recorded "The Loco-Motion", and "Je ne sais pas pourquoi" all peaked in the top two on the UK Singles Chart. "It's No Secret" was her third top-forty single on the Billboard Hot 100, while "Turn It into Love" was released exclusively in Japan. Kylie was re-issued in 1988 as The Kylie Collection, and in 2015 when it returned to the UK Albums Chart.

RadioRotary Co-Host Jonah Triebwasser interviews Rabbi Jonathan Kligler of the Woodstock Jewish Congregation in this unusual and extremely interesting program based largely on Rabbi Kligler’s book Turn It and Turn It for Everything is In It. The book’s title comes from an ancient Rabbi’s saying about the Torah scroll that is a part of every Jewish temple and used in various services. The Torah’s text consists of the first five books of the Old Testament, common to Jewish and Christian faiths, but the scroll is a special handwritten version on parchment that is a physical representation of those texts. In a temple, the scroll is on rollers so that turning the rollers reveals a different part of the text. In the interview, Rabbi Kligler’s book consists of 54 chapters, one for each week in a lunar year, each relating to a specific passage of the Torah. There are deeper meanings that are found in the creation story and in the stories of Abraham, Jacob (Israel), Joseph, and Moses. Rabbi Kligler also tells a bit about his early career teaching dancing to children and about his other role today as a musician who has worked with many of the great folk musicians of the twentieth century.

Moment and Turn It into a Winning Business.” His podcast “How I Broke Into” takes a deep dive into the big breaks of successful artists and businesspeople. “Leave money on the table because you are playing a long game and learn to adapt. I am a believer in the team matrix which is something I have formulated which is that its not just about evaluating time or money, its time energy, emotion and money and the impact that any action will have should be evaluated through that lens of evaluating what the impact will be on your time, on your energy, emotion and money”…[Listen for More] Click Here for Show Notes To Listen or to Get the Show Notes go to https://wp.me/p6Tf4b-6Er
Most of us have experienced ‘the gasp’—that moment of inspiration when an idea takes shape. The hard part is turning that vision into a successful business. And entrepreneurship can be particularly challenging for artists and creatives who don’t have an interest in the business or legal aspects of launching a startup. Michael Prywes is a New York attorney on a mission to serve artists and creative entrepreneurs. His podcast, How I Broke Into, explores how successful artists and businesspeople got their big breaks. Guests have included The Miracle Morning author Hal Elrod and Emmy-winner Reed Morano, among many others. Michael teaches Intellectual Property and Cutting the Deal to MFA candidates at Long Island University, and he is the bestselling author of The Gasp: How to Seize That ‘A-Ha!’ Moment and Turn It into a Winning Business. Michael joins Emerald to explain how he got clear on his purpose to serve artists and entrepreneurs. He shares his take on courage as a muscle, walking us through the TEAM Matrix process he developed to decide which opportunities to pursue. Michael offers insight around the creation process, discussing what called him to write a book for creative entrepreneurs and how he ignites his own creativity. Listen in to understand how Michael serves as a mentor and resource to his clients and learn how to approach each day as an opportunity to do great things!

Welcome to Episode 303 of The Artist Connection Podcast! My guest today is music legend Mark Slaughter! I have been a fan of his since the 80’s, so having the chance to speak with him was a real thrill for me. His new solo album “Halfway There” is available now. Three tracks from it are featured throughout this episode, along with a Van Halen cover that he recorded in 2007. After you listen to the interview, be sure to pick up your own copy of the album. I will provide links below. We also talked about his growing up in Las Vegas, the music business, and how important being a songwriter is to his life. For Mark, it all begins with the song. He shares some amazing advice during our conversation. I had so many things that I wanted to ask him about, and he was open to all of my questions. If you reach out to Mark, please let him know that you heard his interview and music on my show. Enjoy! Special Thanks: To my good friend, Tim Binder from New Ocean Media. I appreciate his support, and making episodes like this possible. Looking forward to many more in the future! Hiyori from Hamburg, Germany. She is another good friend of mine, and a fantastic drummer. Her track “Funky Monkey” is the ACP theme song!

With his wealth of knowledge on the music industry and the club/party scene the culture discussion was spirited and inspirational. #SayLess and press play, fam.

The new 12 inch on Mexican Summer, which sold out in a matter of days and is pretty much long gone from distros (try the Nominal shop), is a nice slice of dreamy pop from the sister duo. The A side features the two "hits", while the much more preferable B-Side is two smeared and haunted daydream lullabies that resonate the loudest, at least with me. Three seven inches are forthcoming (PPM, Big Love and Gloriette) and a 12 inch on Art Fag, hopefully in the coming months.LA Vampires, who recently sprung up out of nowhere, drop one of the more innarestin' tracks on the already explodin' with ideas comp, My Estrogeneration. LA Vampires, which is in fact a moniker for this mysterious sole female project, trudges the same warped reggae/dub path already worn by labelmate (and future collaborator!) Sun Araw, albeit in a more chopped 'n screwed way. New split 12 inch with Psychic Reality just unleashed on NNF, more on that soon. Also, keep an ear out for an upcoming collab with Zola Jesus.Despite reams of acclaim from Washington Post, Baltimore Sun, AMG, LA Record, The Stranger, BBC Music, and even Rolling Stone, I somehow completely missed one of 2009's most exciting LPs, namely Double Dagger's More on Thrill Jockey. While jammin' some records over at a friends place, More was eventually put on with a smirk and no mention of the band name. Holy shit! Is this an Unwound rarity I've never heard? Did ...Trail of the Dead ditch the pomp and circumstance and go back to the white-fisted anger of Madonna? Dude, seriously, what the hell is this? The record apparently hadn't even hit the shelves of any decent record store in town, but it was ordered in through the local grocer and I've been immersed in this monster ever since. Only drums, bass and vocals, but what a dense racket these three fellas make. The above mentioned bands are obvious starting points, so fans of those post-hardcore aggressors are urged to seek this one out. Highest recommendation.Thanks to the always quick work of Art For Spastics, I got to the Rotting Chapel site just in time to order one of the last 150 copies of a new Goslings double cassette release. Fans of the Goslings already know what they're getting into, namely, an overdriven-sludge pummeling that's recorded well beyond the red. There really isn't anyone out there making this much of a unique and, yet, highly listenable racket on the planet right now. Archive just re-issued the classic Grandeur Of Hair CD (check that out here) and their collab with Warmth. Archive, with their handmade and silkscreened CD packages, are about the only label out there worth buying a CD from. So go do that, please.Topping Bottoms are a new-ish band that fall in step with the long line of overblown psych bands that have emerged from Japan over the last 25 years or so. High Rise, Acid Mothers Temple, Suishou No Fune, and Mainliner (all of which owe a massive debt to the mighty Les Rallizes Denudes) are the forbearers of the sound, and Topping Bottoms are there to keep the amps smoking. Eye-popping silkscreened inserts with artwork by band member Ryo, who also did the artwork on the recent Blank Realm LP and cassette release.
