Baxie speaks with Dutch author and visual artist Bette Adriaanse (Bette A.). For the second time in less than a year Bette has teamed up with the legendary Brian Eno to produce two separate projects. The first of which to collaborate on the book “What Art Does: An Unfinished Theory”. Their second collaboration is a full multi-media presentation called “Slow Stories”. This is a collection of two short stories that Bette has been developing over the last twenty years. The stories have been set to a stunning musical score composed by Brian Eno—combined with visuals created by both Bette and Eno specifically for this project. “Slow Stories” is set to be released on March 3rd. And Bette talks about all of it as well as about her friendship with Brian—one of music's most legendary producers (Talking Heads, David Bowie, U2, Peter Gabriel, and more!)

Karen Frost held hands with a stranger named Frank at a U2 concert in Chicago—a man she sensed didn't have much time left. They didn't exchange contact information, but she knew what they shared was a soul connection forged through music. Years later, when she faced a cancer diagnosis and began guided imagery to prepare for radiation, something unexpected happened. It's a story about the fleeting connections that never really leave, the mysterious ways people return to us when we need them most, and how someone you barely knew can become exactly what saves you.

The cassette tape was revolutionary. Cheap, portable, and reusable, this small plastic rectangle changed music history. Make your own tapes! Trade them with friends! Tape over the ones you don't like! The cassette tape upended pop culture, creating movements and uniting communities. High Bias: The Distorted History of the Cassette Tape (UNC Press, 2023) charts the journey of the cassette from its invention in the early 1960s to its Walkman-led domination in the 1980s to decline at the birth of compact discs to resurgence among independent music makers. Scorned by the record industry for "killing music," the cassette tape rippled through scenes corporations couldn't control. For so many, tapes meant freedom--to create, to invent, to connect. Marc Masters introduces readers to the tape artists who thrive underground; concert tapers who trade bootlegs; mixtape makers who send messages with cassettes; tape hunters who rescue forgotten sounds; and today's labels, which reject streaming and sell music on cassette. Their stories celebrate the cassette tape as dangerous, vital, and radical. Marc Masters is a music journalist whose work has appeared on NPR and in the Washington Post, Pitchfork, Rolling Stone, and Bandcamp Daily. He is also the author of No Wave. Marc Masters on Twitter. Bradley Morgan is a media arts professional in Chicago and author of U2's The Joshua Tree: Planting Roots in Mythic America. He manages partnerships on behalf of CHIRP Radio 107.1 FM, serves as a co-chair of the associate board at the Gene Siskel Film Center of the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, and volunteers in the music archive at the Old Town School of Folk Music.

When America's Next Top Model arrived on our screens in 2003, it was an instant hit with viewers around the world. The reality TV competition, hosted by supermodel Tyra Banks, saw young aspiring models compete for the chance to win a lucrative modelling contract. Although the show ended almost a decade ago, it's back on our screens in Netflix's new documentary series, Inside America's Next Top Model.The three-part show revisits the modelling competitions' most shocking moments and includes interviews with former contestants and judges that paint a picture of a toxic and harmful filming environment. In today's episode, Irish Times contributor Rachel O'Dwyer and model and actress Amber Jean Rowan join Róisín Ingle to share their thoughts on the show and how the young women who took part were treated. Rowan also discusses her experience on The Model Agent, an Irish reality show which she took part in at just 15 years old. But first Irish Times opinion editor Jennifer O'Connell is here to discuss some of the biggest stories of the week including the newly released EP by U2, the arrest of Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor and the ongoing search in Co Wicklow for missing Irish women JoJo Dullard and Deirdre Jacob.

We get to know a bit of John personally, as he has come almost out of nowhere in the last month, as he has been speaking out at City Hall and in the community for Conservative voices. Which two offices is John running for? Does Allante get the “Clarence Thomas” treatment, so to speak? What is wrong with the Republican establishment in Philadelphia and what can Republicans in Philadelphia do in order to create real change within the city's party? What are Allante's thoughts on DA Larry Krasner? Why stand with the Trump message rather than a standard Republican one? Why did he speak up and out at that local gym a few weeks ago? 120 - Are other surrounding towns and counties heading down the same path as Bucks County?

Will CHOP give up gender affirming surgery? 240 - Your calls. 250 - The Lightning Round!

Zohran Mamdani is backtracking on hiring 5,000 NYPD cops. U2 is attacking MAGA supporters over support of ICE. The Dems' DHS shutdown is backfiring on them as audits of ICE are paused over lack of funding. Kash Patel says the FBI is coming after those funding Antifa.

Dicen Veintiuno que hay algo de liberador en ser otra persona, ser alguien que no tiene los problemas que tú tienes, ser alguien que no ha pasado por lo que tú has pasado, ser alguien que no se equivocó donde tú te equivocaste, ser la persona que te gustaría ser, ser la persona que quizá fuiste y ya no recuerdas que fuiste y en ser quien quieres ser.

A listener request unlocks one of the most painful (and unforgettable) moments in New York sports radio history. Evan and Tiki rewind to November 2, 2015, when a brutal trifecta of losses rocked the city: the Mets falling in the World Series, the Giants losing to the Saints, and the Jets getting torched by the Raiders. Producer Dov Kramer stitched those defeats together with U2's “Sunday Bloody Sunday” to create a haunting open… and Joe Benigno absolutely LOST IT on air. Relive the raw frustration, the dark humor, the instant classic radio meltdown, and the wounds that still haven't fully healed for Mets, Giants, and Jets fans. Plus, the guys react to the fallout, revisit the chaos of that weekend, and debate whether painful memories like this are part of what makes being a New York fan unforgettable. A true Fan Flashback packed with misery, nostalgia, and legendary radio moments.

The story of The Cure: a tall tale of a truly unique British band. The Cure's story is a fantastical pop fable, but their trajectory has not been one of unbroken success. Along the way, their uneven, uneasy pop odyssey has taken in fierce intra-band tensions and fall-outs, numerous line-up changes and even a bitter court case that saw original group members feuding over payments and ownership of the band's name. There has been alcoholism, substance abuse and countless long, dark nights of the soul, many of which have been translated into luscious dark-rock symphonies. From gawky teenage art-punks in Crawley to gnomic, venerable rock royalty with 30 million record sales to their name, their journey has been a scarcely believable, vivid pop hallucination. The Cure: A Perfect Dream (Gemini Books, 2025) is the tall tale of a truly unique British band. It's the story of The Cure. This fully updated edition includes a deep dive into the band's long-awaited 14th studio album released in 2024: Songs of a Lost World. Ian Gittins has interviewed and reviewed The Cure during a 30-year career as a music writer on titles such as Melody Maker, Time Out, Q and the Guardian. He is the co-author with Motley Crew's Nikki Sixx of the 2007 New York Times best-seller The Heroin Diaries: A Year in the Life of a Shattered Rock Star. He lives in London. Ian Gittin's website.

The story of The Cure: a tall tale of a truly unique British band. The Cure's story is a fantastical pop fable, but their trajectory has not been one of unbroken success. Along the way, their uneven, uneasy pop odyssey has taken in fierce intra-band tensions and fall-outs, numerous line-up changes and even a bitter court case that saw original group members feuding over payments and ownership of the band's name. There has been alcoholism, substance abuse and countless long, dark nights of the soul, many of which have been translated into luscious dark-rock symphonies. From gawky teenage art-punks in Crawley to gnomic, venerable rock royalty with 30 million record sales to their name, their journey has been a scarcely believable, vivid pop hallucination. The Cure: A Perfect Dream (Gemini Books, 2025) is the tall tale of a truly unique British band. It's the story of The Cure. This fully updated edition includes a deep dive into the band's long-awaited 14th studio album released in 2024: Songs of a Lost World.

The conversation spirals from unforgettable Super Bowl halftime shows to the ones nobody remembers, with everything from Dre and Snoop to dancing sharks and post 9/11 U2. The crew debates whether comedy belongs at halftime, why vulgar humor usually lands the hardest, and how easily people get offended during the biggest TV event of the year. Bad Bunny's lyrics spark a surprisingly awkward moment, leading into a larger discussion about shock value, culture, and where the NFL draws the line. The segment wraps with bold, way-too-early predictions for next year's halftime performer, including Miley Cyrus, Beyoncé, Jelly Roll, and a few wild cards, plus classic sports radio detours that only make the debate better.
In October 1973, the poet and singer Leonard Cohen—thirty-nine years old, famous, unhappy, and at a creative dead end—traveled from his home on the Greek island of Hydra to the chaos and bloodshed of the Sinai desert when Egypt attacked Israel on the Jewish high holiday of Yom Kippur. Moving around the front with a guitar and a group of local musicians, Cohen met hundreds of young soldiers, men and women at the worst moment of their lives. Those who survived never forgot the experience. And the war transformed Cohen. He had announced that he was abandoning his music career, but he instead returned to Hydra and to his family, had a second child, and released one of the best albums of his career. In Who by Fire, journalist Matti Friedman gives us a riveting account of those weeks in the Sinai, drawing on Cohen's previously unpublished writing and original reporting to create a kaleidoscopic depiction of a harrowing, formative moment for both a young country at war and a singer at a crossroads. Matti Friedman is an award-winning journalist and author. Born in Toronto and based in Jerusalem, his work has appeared regularly in the New York Times, The Atlantic, Tablet, and elsewhere. Friedman's last book, Spies of No Country: Secret Lives at the Birth of Israel, won the 2019 Natan Prize and the Canadian Jewish Book Award for history. Pumpkinflowers: A Soldier's Story of a Forgotten War was chosen in 2016 as a New York Times Notable Book and one of Amazon's 10 best books of the year. His first book, The Aleppo Codex, won the 2014 Sami Rohr Prize and the ALA's Sophie Brody Medal. Matti Friedman on Twitter.

A listener threw down the gauntlet and we answered: Wax Wars, the ultimate rock album face-off. We're talking full-catalog giants and needle-drop staples—Fleetwood Mac versus Eagles, Zeppelin versus Floyd, The Who versus Queen, Clash versus Ramones, U2 versus R.E.M., and more—decided by a mix of song strength, cultural impact, and those stubborn memories that never leave. The fun isn't just in who wins; it's in how certain records force you to choose between a perfect side and a perfect song, between a life-changing first listen and the album that still works anywhere, anytime.We chart why Dark Side demands a full ride while Zeppelin IV shines in any shuffle. We revisit how Bohemian Rhapsody re-entered pop culture through a movie and stayed for good. We trace the shockwave of Nevermind, the summer-long dominance of Synchronicity, and the way Back in Black turned grief into an indestructible anthem machine.By the end, you'll have a fresh lens on classics like Abbey Road, Let It Bleed, Revolver, Pyromania, Blizzard of Ozz, and Elephant. You'll also hear why some albums are built for the long arc while others are engineered for constant replay. Jump in, keep score with us, and then tell us where we blew it and where we nailed it.

Send us a message, so we know what you're thinking!In Season 5 (2025), we talked about how double albums came about, and talked about some of the best double albums of the 70's. This episode, we look at some of the best double albums of the 80's. Our Album You Must Listen to Before You Die is “Out of the Blue”, by ELO. It WAS a huge hit in the 80's. But was it any good? Hmmm. In “Knockin' on Heaven's Door”, we pay tribute to Rob Hirst (Midnight Oil), Ted Egan (a legend of the Northern Territory), and Bob Weir (Grateful Dead) among others. A big episode!

As long as there has been music, the form has been used as a vehicle for storytelling. Artists who have something to say often find that putting it into music is the ideal means of communicating thoughts and feelings to others. And the concept-album form is a logical extension of that storytelling impulse, often writ large. It allows the writer to tackle bigger themes, more involved story lines, more finely textured characters and ideas. In the pages of What's the Big Idea? (Hozac, 2025), author Bill Kopp explores 30 remarkable concept albums, drawing on new, firsthand interviews with the artists behind their creation. Author of the critically acclaimed Disturbing the Peace, Kopp turns us down the darkest road of musical blind-spots yet, the concept album, a previously shunned genre, now worthy of your curiosity. And then you hear something like Ogden's Nut Gone Flake, and The Turtles Present Battle of the Bands, or S.F. Sorrow, and you're really second-guessing yourself now, right? As it turns out, there's something genuinely interesting about this “concept” in itself, and it lends us a look into a world when musical creativity really had been unleashed in its full glory. Yes, those extravagances produced much audio garbage, but very few people even get that chance anymore, despite the ease of home recording. Even Captain Sensible and The Church committed this ‘big ideas' into noteworthy efforts, along with Hawkwind, William Shatner, Ghostface Killa, and of course, Pete Townshend, who graciously offers an exclusive interview here.

For the Season 11 finale, we present part two of our series on the ‘80s. We continue in the alt-rock/indie/new wave vein from our last episode – where we featured the likes of U2, The Cult, Bryan Ferry, Fine Young Cannibals and more. This week, we continue with: Robert Smith of The Cure in conversation with Christopher. Robert is painfully shy and yet quite revealing and is, in Tom’s words, “downright lovable”. The B-52s, who remember their early days and the struggle to continue after the death of guitarist Ricky Wilson. Dave Gahan and Martin Gore from Depeche Mode in a short chat with Christopher. Peter Garrett and the late Rob Hirst of Midnight Oil talking about being famous in Australia and trying to win over audiences in the Canada and the U.S. Toronto’s Jane Siberry, who was recently inducted into the Canadian Songwriters Hall of Fame, talks about her unique vision for her music – and why she carries around a “very soft bat” to ward off her fans. Christopher’s interview with Annie Lennox of Eurythmics as she talks about fashion and anti fashion. Producers note: The promised interviews with Pet Shop Boys, The Fixx and Thompson Twins will air in Season 12. We promise.

What happens when you stop letting fear decide your future? In this episode of Right About Now, host Ryan Alford sits down with entrepreneur, creative pioneer, and author Scott Scovill for a powerful conversation about fear, failure, and what it really takes to pursue your dreams. Scott opens up about graduating near the bottom of his class, flunking out of college, and being diagnosed with a deep fear of failure — a fear that nearly kept him stuck forever. Everything changed the night he randomly met the touring crew for U2, attended their concert, and realized he'd found the life he wanted — but only if he was willing to try. That moment sparked what Scott now calls tenacity — the relentless pursuit of what matters most. Today, Scott has built multiple companies, led massive live productions for world-class artists, and written a deeply personal book, Tenacious: The Art of Relentlessly Pursuing Your Wildest Dreams, sharing the lessons he learned along the way. In this episode, Scott and Ryan dive into: Why fear of failure keeps most people stuck How a single moment can redefine your entire future Why execution matters more than motivation The power of simply showing up How storytelling beats preachy self-help Turning setbacks into momentum Learning that failure hurts far less than imagined If you're building a business, chasing a creative dream, or just trying to become a better version of yourself — this conversation will challenge you to stop waiting and start moving.
In this episode of The Way We See It, Pastor Alex Bryant leans straight into the racial tension happening in our nation and challenges believers to respond differently than the world. Instead of holding on to offense, anger, or bitterness, Alex reminds us that Christians are called to lead the way in forgiveness. He draws inspiration from the song "One" by U2 and the words of Bono as the call for us to leave racism, resentment, and division in the dark and choose to love each other in the light. In a moment when culture encourages outrage, Alex calls the Church and all who claim to be Christians to rise above it with humility, grace, and unity. This episode is a heartfelt reminder that love is our greatest witness and forgiveness is our greatest weapon. #TWWSI, #OneLove, #FaithOverOffense, #ChooseForgiveness, #RacialHealing, #LoveInAction, #UnityInChrist, #PastorAlexBryant, #GraceOverGrievance, #ChristiansLeadTheWay Alex Bryant Ministries is focused on helping people be reconciled to God, then within one's own self, and finally being reconciled to our fellow man in order to become disciples.

Don't forget to subscribe for free to our newsletter, the top 10 ideas of the week, every Monday --------- Jimmy Iovine is the co-founder of Interscope Records, Beats by Dre, and the USC Jimmy Iovine and Andre Young Academy. Iovine is widely regarded as one of the most influential figures in the modern music industry. Growing up in the Red Hook neighborhood of Brooklyn, New York, Iovine was raised in an Italian working-class family. He began working as a recording engineer in the early 1970s, and went on to engineer landmark albums including Bruce Springsteen's Born to Run and John Lennon's Rock 'n' Roll and Walls and Bridges, before transitioning into production with Patti Smith's Easter, Tom Petty's Damn the Torpedoes, Stevie Nicks' Bella Donna, and U2's Rattle and Hum. In 1990, Iovine co-founded Interscope Records with Ted Field. Under his leadership, the label became one of the most dominant forces in popular music, launching or elevating the careers of Dr. Dre, Tupac Shakur, Nine Inch Nails, No Doubt, Eminem, 50 Cent, Lady Gaga, and Kendrick Lamar. He rose to become chairman of Interscope Geffen A&M Records. In 2006, he and Dr. Dre co-founded Beats by Dre, which Apple acquired in 2014 for $3 billion — the largest acquisition in Apple's history at the time. Iovine subsequently helped launch Apple Music in 2015 before departing Apple in 2018. His accomplishments include being inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame in 2022 with the Ahmet Ertegun Award, being honored by the Recording Academy's Producers & Engineers Wing during Grammy Week 2012, co-founding the USC Jimmy Iovine and Andre Young Academy in 2013 with a $70 million donation alongside Dr. Dre, launching the Iovine and Young Center high school program in Los Angeles in 2022 with additional locations in Atlanta and Inglewood, and donating to the city of Compton during the COVID-19 pandemic to fund medical supplies, testing, and meals for residents. https://davidsenra.com/episode/jimmy-iovine Made possible by Ramp: https://ramp.com Eight Sleep: https://eightsleep.com/senra Function: https://functionhealth.com/senra Chapters (00:00:00) Introduction: The Corny World of Fame (00:00:54) The Impact of Social Media on Fame (00:01:27) Chasing Greatness: Personal Reflections (00:02:10) Technological Shifts in the Music Industry (00:03:24) The Streaming Service Dilemma (00:05:34) The Artist's Perspective on Streaming (00:06:39) Early Career and Influences (00:09:40) The Importance of Humility (00:11:19) Working with the Best: A Career Retrospective (00:13:07) The Role of Brutal Honesty (00:15:00) Navigating the Music Industry (00:33:50) The Birth of Beats by Dre (00:46:14) The Music Industry's Customer Problem (00:46:44) Vertically Integrating Culture and Fashion (00:47:13) Building Beats: From Music Videos to Headphones (00:48:03) Marketing is Empathy (00:50:28) The Journey of Beats Music (00:59:09) The Future of the Music Industry with AI (01:14:40) The Bend in the Pipe: Harnessing Fear and Obsession (01:29:12) Comparing Work Approaches with Dr. Dre (01:30:50) The Tortured Path to Success (01:32:41) Balancing Happiness and Ambition (01:35:22) The Importance of Peace and Therapy (01:49:30) Learning from Legends (01:55:57) The Influence of Bono and Dre (02:00:15) California Dreams and Career Milestones (02:07:20) Final Thoughts and Reflections Learn more about your ad choices.

What does it cost to walk away from one of Hollywood’s most powerful legal positions to pursue your true passion? Steve Bardwil spent years as Chief Counsel for Walt Disney Studios, overseeing legal affairs for Marvel, Pixar, Lucasfilm, and more—negotiating billion-dollar deals and working alongside industry titans like Steve Jobs, Alan Bergman, and Kevin Feige. But behind the prestigious business cards and high-stakes meetings, he was writing songs, leading a band, and wrestling with a question that wouldn’t let go: What if there’s more? Welcome to the Takin A Walk podcast and join Buzz Knight on this inspiring music story with singer-songwriter Steve Bardwil. In 2024, Steve Bardwil made the decision that seemed crazy to everyone around him—he left Disney to pursue music full-time. One year later, he released his critically acclaimed debut album “Nothing But Time,” produced by 11-time Grammy winner Joe Chiccarelli (Elton John, U2, Beck, The Killers). Now he’s heading back into East West Studios to record his sophomore effort. In this inspiring music interview , Steve shares the emotional journey of redefining his identity beyond the Disney empire, the moment he cold-called Joe Chiccarelli (and actually got a callback), and what happened when one of music’s most legendary producers transformed his songs in ways he never imagined. From opening for Donovan Frankenreiter and Lyle Lovett while still at Disney, to learning the recording process from scratch, to writing “Send Them Love”—a song resonating with anyone who’s faced online negativity—Steve Bardwil and his story is about courage, reinvention, and refusing to live with “what if.” He also reveals his Beatles origin story (Dodger Stadium, 1966), the bittersweet reality of walking away from a career that defined him, and his advice for anyone contemplating their own leap: “At the end of your life, you can say ‘I tried’ or ‘I wish I would have.’ Don’t be the person who says ‘I wish I would have.’” Featured Topics: Career reinvention, music production with Joe Chiccarelli, working at Walt Disney Studios, songwriting process, recording at East West Studios, overcoming self-doubt, “Send Them Love,” Beatles at Dodger Stadium, following your passion later in life Keywords #legendary musician #legendary musican interview #knight #walk #weekly music history #kegendary musician #career breakthrough Support the show: https://takinawalk.com/See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
