WARREN CUMMINGS on television characters and likeability.First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on June 15th 2025.Likeability is an elusive thing. I certainly have spent a lot of my life not feeling that I have any of it, but on television, the likeability, or otherwise, of the characters, the situation, or even the programme itself can have a lot of bearing upon whether a show is ultimately successful, or memorable, and the likability of the stars, or the characters they are playing, can shape or break careers in the area of comedy, drama, and light entertainment alike.Many TV personalities have benefitted from the perception of likeability that the general public has about them, and many have risen to great heights in the public consciousness, and some have fallen just as quickly if that likeability gets scratched away or is revealed to be nothing more than a light veneer.Similarly, some great and popular TV shows have become forgotten once their likeability has faded and the whims of a fickle public have moved onto other things.But what exactly is “likeability” anyway. Some dreadful people have become the Nation's Favourites, and some truly depressing television programmes have somehow seized the public's affections and become runaway hits despite looking appallingly unlikeable when they first appear.I've recently been watching a couple of seventies sitcoms that still bear the distinction of being “much loved” featuring performances by “much loved” actors playing “much loved” characters, despite those characters, with the benefit of hindsight, being some of television's most selfish and monstrous creations.To discuss this quandary, I've invited back the always likeable WARREN CUMMINGS, for what I hope is an entertaining conversation which takes this notion as our starting point, and which takes us on a journey which considers the pros and cons of such likeable characters as TOM & BARBARA GOOD, TERRY MEDFORD, DEN & ANGIE WATTS, BERT LYNCH, THE MASTER, BLAKE'S SEVEN, ALF GARNETT, and even ANGELA RIPPON.PLEASE NOTE - For Copyright reasons, musical content sometimes has to be removed for the podcast edition.

PAUL CHANDLER, THE SHY YETI's Top Ten TV Sidekicks!First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on June 8th 2025.This week's show sees another swift return for the perennial friend of VISION ON SOUND, PAUL CHANDLER, THE SHY YETI himself, and this week we decided, in the fine tradition of archive TV retrospectives throughout the decades, to have a go at letting PAUL do a TELEVISION TOP TEN.Naturally, he didn't want to do ANY OLD Top Ten. Oh no! PAUL wanted to try something a little more avant garde, a little more off the wall, and away from the mainstream, and so the Top Ten that we discuss during the next hour is all about his favourite TV sidekicks, or at least his favourites for the morning we recorded the show. And, being PAUL, whilst his list might include some very familiar and not unexpected TV pairings, and one or two might seem entirely predictable if you've been following our conversations over the years, I still hope that a few of them might surprise you – especially with regard to the dynamics of just which of them he considers the sidekick to be – and some of them might even shock you, although probably not enough to make any of you require counselling.As ever, our conversation based upon those choices goes off in some wildly unexpected directions, but I hope they give you an entertaining and perhaps even thought-provoking hour, which, if they do inspire you to think of a few of your own Top Tens, do please get in touch, especially if you feel like you might want to share them with us in a future edition of VISION ON SOUND.PLEASE NOTE - For Copyright reasons, musical content sometimes has to be removed for the podcast edition.

WARREN CUMMINGS has been watching THE VIEW FROM DANIEL PIKE..First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on June 1st 2025.This week, WARREN CUMMINGS is back again and, when I finally allowed him to, he really wanted to talk about a Scottish drama from the early 1970s that he's discovered called THE VIEW FROM DANIEL PIKE and which starred RODDY McMILLAN.Naturally, that's not all we talk about, and this hour encompasses a lengthy discussion about the joys of regional drama in general, 1970s drama in particular, and, perhaps most importantly, kipper ties, drop leaf tables, and terrible underpants.PLEASE NOTE - For Copyright reasons, musical content sometimes has to be removed for the podcast edition.

SUKY KHAKH on the differences between the book and the TV series when it comes to detective fiction. First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on June 30th 2024. This week's returning guest is SUKY KHAKH who has recently been ill in bed and spent much of that time reading a lot of the sort of books that have been adapted for television which inspired us to want to talk about how satisfying - or otherwise - such adaptations can sometimes be. So during the next hour we'll chat about shows like HAMISH MACBETH, JACK REACHER, AGATHA RAISIN, THE MARLOW MURDER CLUB, FATHER BROWN and BOSCH, amongst others, because he's been doing A LOT of reading.

By Jorge de Campos in Fort Worth, TX - June 22, 2024 - The days are short and Christ's coming is soon. Great disaster will come upon our nation and in fact upon all the world. God wants us all to pay attention and not be complacent, as great punishment is coming soon, because we all have sinned greatly. We must have hope, because God has not rejected His people. He wants us all to come to repentance and become meek and humble so that we will faithfully walk in His Way of Life for our own good. Christ will come back (and that will be soon) to save our nation, and yes the whole world upon repentance.

BEN BAKER on that fateful night ALF turned up on the UK TV schedules. First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on June 23rd 2024. I've been trying to get BEN BAKER back onto VISION ON SOUND for quite some time now, but various obstacles kept on getting in our way, which meant that our long-planned look at SPITTING IMAGE had to remain in the shadows as its anniversary sped by in a sea of cough linctus, paracetamol, and Lem-sip. Never mind, we'll probably get round to it one day. In the meanwhile, as he recuperated, for another project he's been working on, BEN had been researching the 1980s US science-fiction sitcom ALF. ALF was a series which was all about the adventures of the moggy-munching Alien Life Form who chose to live with the Tanner Family in the San Fernando Valley area of California, and BEN suggested that we might be able to have a chat about the TV schedules for the very night ALF first appeared on UK television screens on April the 25th 1987, and that sounded like a pretty good idea to me, and so he sent me a copy of that night's TV listings which might even pop up on the social media feeds, for you to read along with at home, if I remember to post it. So, over the course of this hour, as well as discussing ALF, we also consider other US imported TV of the era, and the bizarre nature of the Saturday evening schedules of the late 1980s.

By Jorge de Campos in Dallas, TX - June 16, 2024 - Our responsibility after receiving God's Holy Spirit.

MICHAEL HERBERT on DOOMWATCH. First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on June 16th 2024. This week's returning guest from our ever growing group of returning regulars is MICHAEL HERBERT who, you might remember from some earlier editions of VISION ON SOUND, has spent a lot of the last few years researching the life of MALCOLM HULKE, which, of course, because everything in the world of television is all interconnected somehow, means that he comes across other things that interest him, and he got in touch to see if I fancied having a natter about DOOMWATCH. Now, despite rumours to the contrary, I absolutely adore DOOMWATCH. Perhaps it's because it simply appeals to my own inflated sense of pessimism, but there's just something very entertaining about a television series built around the potential disasters that humanity is capable of causing through its own hubris if we allow ourselves to go ahead with our experimentations unchecked and without a certain amount of accountability, and there is an enduring appeal to the stories it told more than half a century ago, many of which still feel very relevant today, when some of the actions of governments and individuals really do feel as if they still need reining in. Created by DR KIT PEDLER and GERRY DAVIS following their successful collaborations on DOCTOR WHO, and broadcast on the BBC across three series between 1970 and 1972, DOOMWATCH explored new and unusual threats to humanity which were appearing in many ways, as the human race was busily developing the white heat of technology in the post-nuclear age, in a series of stories involving subjects as diverse as plastic-eating viruses, artificial hearts, toxic waste, and rats with a genetically enhanced taste for human flesh. The series involved the dramatic experiences of the fictional DEPARTMENT FOR THE OBSERVATION AND MEASUREMENT OF SCIENTIFIC WORK – You can see why they preferred to use DOOMWATCH as a title – as they attempted to protect the world from the dangers of unprincipled scientific research, as they were set up “to investigate any scientific research, public or private, that could possibly be harmful to man” which basically meant that DOCTOR SPENCER QUIST and his team were often irritants to those who were heavily invested in the steady march of progress. No change there then. Starring JOHN PAUL, JOBY BLANCHARD and SIMON OATES, amongst others, the series made a star of ROBERT POWELL, whose character TOBY WREN's untimely demise at the end of the first series sent shockwaves through the pages of the RADIO TIMES in a way that the serious concerns being talked about in the storylines seldom did. It may surprise you just how many of the stories told in this series seem to be about things humanity has only recently begun to have concerns about, when the writers involved were trying to warn us about it decades ago, but, well, that's human beings for you, isn't it?

STEVE HATCHER considers the TV life of HADLEIGH. First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on June 9th 2024. A few weeks ago on VISION ON SOUND, STEVE HATCHER took us on a brief tour through the television lives of several characters who were the kind of testosterone-fuelled monsters that used to inhabit the boardrooms and bedrooms of those high-profile dramas of the sixties and seventies whose dodgy dealings and shady shenanigans somehow came to define the notion of what the world of big business resembled for generations of viewers. It was in VISION ON SOUND 186, if you are the kind of listener who might want to look that sort of thing up. One character who was initially on that list ultimately didn't manage to make the cut as he turned out - unexpectedly - to be rather too nice to be included on such a list, and that was JAMES HADLEIGH, as played by former ADAM ADAMANT GERALD HARPER, across four incredibly popular series of a show which was created by ROBERT BARR and ultimately consisted of 52 hour-long episodes (unsurprisingly titled HADLEIGH), which was produced by Yorkshire Television that ran across the ITV network between 1969 and 1976. HADLEIGH told of the various ups and downs in the life of the local squire – something I'm sure we can all relate to - as he protects the welfare of his tenants in the role of a kind of knight in shining armour, correcting social injustices from behind the wheel of his Aston Martin as one description would have it, although it's probably more about HADLEIGH's financial trials and tribulations, and the ups and downs of a complicated personal life, all of which seemed to become compulsive viewing for anything up to 17 million viewers during the years that it was being broadcast. Also, as STEVE will explain, the HADLEIGH series was itself a sequel to a very different hour-long drama series that was also created by ROBERT BARR and produced by YTV in 1968, GAZETTE, which was an altogether much harder-hitting and more working class drama based around the activities of a local newspaper based in the north. Anyway, as STEVE's now finished watching all of HADLEIGH's televised adventures, he thought it might be fun to come back onto the show and discuss what he made of a series that he actually found quite compelling viewing despite it sounding like it really would not exactly be his cup of Earl Grey in a bone china teacup at all.

PAUL CHANDLER considers his TV happiness. First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on June 2nd 2024 This week PAUL CHANDLER, THE SHY YETI himself is back once again for another of our cosy chats that might take the subject of television as its starting point, but then plays fast and loose with the self-imposed restrictions VISION ON SOUND has set itself. I was in something of a downbeat, sombre mood when I arranged to talk to PAUL, and so I thought that I might try something slightly more philosophical than our usual run through his most recent archive TV discoveries, or something fresh, new, and exciting that he was going to try and persuade me of the virtues of, and, instead, I thought that I might try and get PAUL to help me pin down what it is about the kind of television he watches, or his interest in the subject of television itself, that brings joy and happiness into his world, in another of our experimental formats that are usually for one week only. As ever, by the end of the hour, I'm not sure that we come to any real conclusions really, but PAUL takes us on a very personal journey through the friendships that he has made by sharing his love of certain television shows with other people, and tells us a little bit about some of the creative elements in his life that have come about from simply having an interest in the process of making television. Anyway, I hope that you enjoy what he has to say in this week's edition, and, should our conversation inspire you to want to take part in a similar discussion, feel free to get in touch with me via @visiononsound1 in the social media service formerly known as TwitWorld.

It first started over 20 years ago when I went to my first bodybuilding competition to support my friend Shelley at her first show. At the time the only divisions were fitness and bodybuilding and Shelley was a bodybuilder. I remember that overwhelming feeling coming over me while in the audience watching her on stage. The feeling told me that I absolutely was going to be a bodybuilder starting right then. I was 20 years young and bodybuilding at the time didn't have the appeal to as many people as it does today because there weren't all the different categories that there are today. In fact, after my first show I brought a picture of me with a thank you note written on it to the gym I worked out at and gave it to the staff at the front desk who always seemed so supportive of me while I was there training for my show. The next day, I noticed the picture was missing, so I asked the people at the front desk what happened to it. They said they were told to remove my picture because they didn't want to promote “that type of stuff” here at this gym.  I'll never forget how that made me feel. But I had that overwhelming feeling that told me to keep going regardless of how other people thought or treated me. There will be judgement by others for anything you want to do, no matter what it is.  But, we wake up with our thoughts and live with ourselves all day long.  I'd rather be inspired by myself than repressed to please others. And now today over 20 years later bodybuilding is still a major part of my life, including here with this podcast, where I talk to you guys about all things bodybuilding. Bodybuilding is also a major part of my life with my posing business too, which also came about from a strong, overwhelming feeling that I needed to create products and services all about posing and stage presence.  I started this business 11 years ago at the gym I owned by hosting weekly posing classes and booking private 1 on 1 lessons. When I sold the gym and focused primarily on posing and stage presence I definitely received a lot of backlash. People thought I was crazy to not want to focus on the nutrition and training component of bodybuilding in addition to the posing. To others, posing was this thing over here that didn't need its own focus. But I knew differently. After my experience with people literally traveling 4 hours each direction to come and learn how to pose and perform from me (before there was ever something called a posing coach), I knew 100% there was a market for what I do. I knew that there are people out there that have never been on stage before and will spend money to learn how to perform their best on stage in their underwear. I knew from experience there are people who do care how they present themselves and would pay for the right help. I also know as a bodybuilder myself that at the end of the day we want to win and will leave no stone unturned in order to give it our best shot. I don't need the world to agree with me.  In fact, if you don't value what I can do for you, then you aren't my customer anyways, and that's ok. Even today with the popularity of everyone wanting to be a posing coach, it's risky to focus on just posing because you still have coaches who do the nutrition and training component and want to control their clients in every way. I don't blame them because they want their clients to look their best on stage, and with the amount of terrible posing instruction out there, how do they know who to trust to send their clients to that is actually going to elevate their client's posing and stage presence skills?  But on the flip side some coaches are holding their clients back from looking their best by not outsourcing the posing component to a true specialist.  100% of what you do on stage on show day is nonverbal. And when you are on stage with a ton of people, every little detail counts in order to stand out. Those details need to be isolated and refined by a specialist.  Today everyone is a posing coach. It's challenging to separate the quality of instruction out there and find a true specialist.  If you want to know if someone is decent posing coach, ask him or her to show their client transformations. If someone can take a person from hot mess to show stopper then you have my attention. If you are seeing transformations of customers who were already decent at posing and they show just a small tweak in the transformation, I'm not impressed. It's like advertising an Olympian as your best student. They are an Olympian because they are already above average versus people just starting out are often awkward at posing. I've had clients go from placing 4th and 5th in their contests to winning their shows. I know with every ounce of my being that posing wins shows.  But to those who don't know me, I'm just another person showing people how to pose.  I have students that are always so supportive and posting about me in the groups on Facebook that they are a part of, but their comments are overwhelmed by tons and tons more comments of other posing coaches too. It's not easy to stand out in a saturated market and some think that what I do won't survive, but the overwhelming feeling inside me tells me otherwise.    I've also had a lot of naysayers tell me that people want in person posing instruction and I'll never be successful with an online posing business. I know with every part of my being that my virtual classes are not only effective, countless students have become really phenomenal with my 100% virtual class method.  So I don't need the world to approve of what I do.  I know differently.  Plus, there are students in my weekly group virtual posing classes that have been a part of them for a year, so I know there are people who enjoy what I teach in my classes, because I teach more than just how to pose. The way I see it, I'd rather have a smaller pool of people who are driven to succeed, and happy to be there, than a large pool of people who don't care as much as I do.  My husband always says I care too much. He is right, so I'd rather have people want to be a part of what I do and care about it too. A few years ago I created a program that included a bunch of posing courses and digital products I made for bodybuilding.  These products were designed to make people better at posing. The students that bought my program were willing to spend good money for all the things I made.  They were excited to have all of my tools.  But there was one major problem.  The people that bought my program weren't who I thought they would be. The people who bought my program were either brand new to bodybuilding and had no clue how to pose, or they had some experience with competing, but their posing skills needed a lot of improvement.  I remember waking up with this overwhelming feeling that I needed to do something about their lack of basic posing knowledge. I couldn't in good conscience allow people to spend good money on the products that are meant to *elevate* their skills without them having a foundation of skills to build off of.  It wasn't right. I felt the overwhelming need to help them. So for no extra charge I added 16 weeks of weekly live virtual calls to the program where we met as a group online so I could teach them the foundation skills on how to pose properly for their divisions and federations.  16 weeks was excessive, but I cared about their success, and I wanted to help them.  The classes HAD to be virtual because the people in the program were worldwide and not local to me. I had men and women students getting ready for shows in different divisions and federations too, and since I have experience first hand in all of them, I discovered I had no issue switching hats between divisions and federations with my posing instruction right on the fly on every call.  Over the 16 weeks each and every student not only learned the foundation skills they needed to pose correctly, they utilized the additional tools they bought from the program to elevate their skills. It was 100% group virtual instruction and 100% digital products, and the combination worked. It worked incredibly well. They all became really good at posing.  I learned from this experience that not only could I teach a group of people how to pose at once, I could instantly switch between men and women divisions and federations on the fly. And I could do this 100% virtual. And every one of my students had great results. And from this experience, my virtual posing clinics and weekly virtual classes for all men and women federations and divisions were birthed. I started hosting one-time virtual posing clinics to teach people how to pose for all divisions and federations followed by an invitation to join my weekly virtual classes. My clinics went from being generalized for all federations to growing to the point where there was enough demand for me to separate the clinics by federation.  So far I have hosted virtual clinics for OCB, NPC, WNBF, and USBF.  At first none of the organizations promoted my clinics. I simply promoted them myself and through word of mouth referrals. But then it changed in late 2022 after interviewing Sean Sully Sullivan from the OCB organization here on on my podcast.  Sully and I hit it off so well that when I asked Sully and his organization The OCB if they would endorse my virtual posing clinics, they agreed to promote them to their athletes starting January 29th, 2023. For all of 2023 I hosted my virtual posing clinics every single month for the OCB with the OCB's blessing and the incredible promotion skills of OCB powerhouse Marjorie Thrash. The clinics proved to be a success for the organization, the athlete, and me. The relationship worked because the OCB and I together believed that the service I offer for athletes is valuable to the athletes and actually helps them, so it is a win win for all involved.  Then, a couple months ago, I woke up with a new idea that I couldn't shake. I had to pull out my purple notebook and a pen so I could physically write down my thoughts as they poured out of me. The first thing I wrote was…United States Posing Clinic Tour. I am so passionate about my method of instruction in my posing clinics and how quickly I can help people get up to speed with their posing skills, that I woke up with an overwhelming desire to take my clinics on the road to get the word out as much as possible. The goal is to continue to host my monthly virtual posing clinics and weekly virtual posing classes to reach people globally, but during 2024 I mapped out in my notebook a coast to coast posing clinic tour across the United States. The #1 thing I wrote in my notebook on why I want to do this USA tour is because I thought it would be a lot of fun. And the #2 thing is that I truly believe that what I do helps people learn things the right way from the start on becoming their best on show day. But there is a lot of noise out there and I want to reach as many people as possible. So my goal is to pound the pavement and get the word out that my method of instruction is the starting place to becoming a champion poser.  Pounding the pavement means reaching people anywhere and everywhere both in person and virtual. And to my surprise, when I asked the OCB if they would endorse this in person posing tour, in addition to my monthly virtual posing clinics, I got the full blessing not just from the organization, but the promoters in every single location you will see on my tour.  These promoters are stand out promoters in my eyes. They truly believe in what I am doing and how it helps the athletes so much, that they, too, gave their full blessing and cooperation to host a live in person clinic in their region of the country.  These clinics are not giant expos that showcase the most famous athletes in the organization.  They are not celebrity showcases that make you feel intimidated for being new or newer to the sport. They are not events that say you are going to learn how to pose, only for you to be SHOWN how to pose by the pros with no actual method of instruction to take home with.  My clinics are about you the athlete.  When you come to my posing clinics whether they are virtual or in person, you will learn how to pose for your category, whether it's men's bodybuilding or women's bikini, I teach all the divisions. You will learn what you really need to focus on for your stage walks and posing routines so you feel your best and not awkward on stage.  You will learn strategy so you score your highest on show day.  You learn everything you need to know so you can look and feel like a champion.  They are the starting place to becoming your best on show day. My United States posing tour starts March 2nd in Daytona Beach Florida followed by March 9th in Nashville Tennessee.  March 16th I'll be in Columbus Ohio, followed by April 13th in Rochester NY. In June we head west starting in Dallas, TX June 29th, Orange County California July 20th, and then Las Vegas NV on July 27th. There are a couple of mystery locations that will be added in May and June too since a few more additional promoters are reaching out wanting us to add their location to the tour! I also have virtual clinics planned for March 23rd, April 20th, and ongoing every month during the entire year.  My virtual NPC clinics will continue during the year as along with all of the virtual posing classes that I teach every single week for all divisions and federations.  In fact, after a clinic, you should totally join my virtual classes so you can take what you learn at a clinic and elevate your skills.  Even if you know how to pose, come to a clinic and join me live in person or online! This year is going to be a lot of fun and you can never know enough when it comes to posing and stage skills.

By Dan Taylor in Lubbock, TX - June 24, 2023 - Today I want to cover a scripture that we often read and perhaps recite from memory, but possibly fail to grasp the profound significance of what it really means. I want to probe the depth of this scripture with you and help each of us really come to know its relevance in our lives. You see it is a scripture, the meaning of which, goes to the very depths of our calling. Turn with me to 1 Peter 3:15 "But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts, and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear:". This scripture speaks to the very reason you are here today; here to learn about God's word. It speaks to why you obey God, keep His commandments, worship on the Sabbath Day and keep the Holy Days. It speaks to being open to letting God change you and your belief that you have an inheritance in the Kingdom of God.

By Dan Taylor in Lubbock, TX - June 10, 2023 - 1 Corinthians chapter 13 is a remarkable chapter, written by Paul. In it, we see the type of love a Christian must show everyone: the Kind of love Jesus Christ is. As we look at verse 7 we see that love "bears all things, believes all thins, hopes all things, endures all things". We see four things: first, agape covers the sins of the one it loves; second, agapes believes the best as long as that is possible; third, agape hopes when it cannot believe; and fourth, agape endures when even hope is gone. 1 Corinthians 13 is about the love of God, not the love of man. I cannot offer you a fool proof plan to solve life's problems. If it is true that into each life some rain must fall, then some of us are getting a deluge right now. I don't know when the rain will end. But it doesn't have to destroy our lives. When the love of God is our foundation, the rains can come, the winds can blow, the river can rise to the threshold, but our house will stand firm because it is built on the rock which cannot be shaken.

By Jorge de Campos in Fort Worth, TX - June 24, 2023 - Revelation 3:18 is particularly applicable to this end time age. But its principle is applicable to us all and it is a summary of what we need to learn and put to practice in this life. It is the very purpose of our existence. What do we need to “buy” from God? What is this “refined gold”? What are these white garments that we need to put on, so we are not naked at Christ's coming?

We met Nikki Murphy of NK Beauty Bar & Academy at LashFest in London this spring and were blown away by her presentation. Her talk was on being more inclusive in our trainings which is a very important topic, but then she took us for a turn we did not see coming during her talk. She shared how we need to be more inclusive in the way we teach so people who are neurodivergent can feel welcomed to our lash trainings. We had never even thought about how someone who is dyslexic or autistic might struggle in huge ways with our standard trainings. It was such an honor to meet Nikki, hear her story, and see how she's using her past struggles to help neurodivergent lash artists have better access to lash trainings.

We attended Shelby Tarleton's Lash Boss Summit back in April and had a fantastic time connecting with lash artists from all over the country. Shelby organized a great event that was a real blessing to the lash community. During the event, Shelby announced two new initiatives that she is starting, and we wanted to share them with all of you who couldn't make it. First, she opened an online store called Lash Boss Pro, where you can buy your lash products from your favorite brands in one location. Instead of bouncing all over the internet to buy your products, you can just buy them in this one location. Think of this website as the Sophora of Lashes. Link to her store is here: https://www.lashbossproshop.com/ Second, she has also started someone totally new called Lash Boss Retreats. She is offering you a chance to travel with fellow lash artists, learn about yourself and learn how to run your business better. This new program is going to be amazing and if you are looking for a more intimate experience where you can connect with like-minded people to get inspired and recharged while seeing the world...this is an amazing opportunity. Link to her retreat page: https://lashbossretreats.com/ At the end of the show, we give some more details about our Las Vegas Party which is on June 25th at the Sahara Hotel Penthouse.

Join us as we celebrate 300-plus episodes! A couple of weeks ago we did a YouTube and IG live and hung out with our LashCast family and recorded the whole session. In this session, we talk about why we started our podcast and how both of us got into the lash industry over 18 years ago. We also share some of our thoughts of the future of the industry and give an update on the LASHCAST Clubhouse. We also take questions from our live audience and talk about whether candles can make glue allergies worse, share why we will never have our own product line, talk about how to clean your lashes correctly using ocusoft, talk about how blepharitis can cause lashes to get smaller, and should you avoid to washing your lashes with baby shampoo (as well a few other questions).

If you have been listening to us for a while, you know we love salon owners. We feel salon owners have the most challenging job in our industry and often are underappreciated by their teams. In today's episode, we are excited to feature Gia Tran from GT Lash and Brows and hear her lash journey and tips on running two salons in Florida. We discuss hiring, being a leader, how she moved clients off her books to her team as well as many other salon topics. We also discussed how Gia came up with a suggestion on how to make LASHCON better and what happened with that idea. For those of you wanting to get more involved with LASHCON, you'll want to listen.

Welcome to episode #300! Our first episode aired on January 29, 2018, while we spoke at the ISSE show. We thought we'd launch it that weekend so we could promote it in our classes and hopefully get a big launch. I think we got 30 plays that first week, and I'm sure 20 of them were just me listening to myself. The show did not take off as we hoped, but over time it has found its audience. We now get 90,000 plus plays a month and will hit 2 million plays in about a month. We just want to say thank you to all of you who show up, listen and show our show with your lash friends. Without you, I'd still be our biggest listener. In today's episode, we talk about whether you can permanently alter the direction of your lashes if you place lashes that are too heavy and should you try to correct the direction of your client's lashes if they are not coming out straight of the eyelid.
