Podcasts about underground arts

In Part 2, longtime Philadelphia talent buyer/promoter/manager Derek Dorsey talks about everything he was up to during the 00s to now, including leaving The Fire (a club he booked for over 15 years), working in music publishing, managing bands, and continuing to book shows for Philadelphia venues like The Blockley, Underground Arts, and the Electric Factory. Derek also opens up about his current health and treatments, and the amazing benefit concerts that the We Live On foundation has been putting on. Dan tries his best to express to Derek just how much he means to the community, and how we will never stop supporting him and We Live On. Derek, among other things, tells two incredible stories about working in the concert industry: one involving a car chase with Shuggie Otis as a passenger, and one about a near brawl between him and his staff and DMX's Ruff Ryders. These simply can't be missed.  Derek was diagnosed with a very rare version of trigeminal neuralgia, a neurological disease that attacks the body with sharp, sudden bursts of pain. It has been treatable to varying degrees of success, but the illness is chronic and incurable. Derek and friends started a foundation called 'We Live On', which helps Derek and his family, as well as provides assistance and resources to others who are going through similar situations. They host benefit concerts, including two upcoming ones, both at Ardmore Music Hall: Sunday, March 30th with Mason Porter, Frog Holler and Travel Lanes, and on Saturday, May 3rd, We Live On presents The Soul Of Quincy Jones: York Street Hustle and Special Guests.

Dan sits down with Philadelphia music community icon and long-standing champion Derek Dorsey. He's booked and promoted thousands of shows at The Fire, Underground Arts, The Blockley, and Electric Factory, if you played in Philadelphia in the last 25 years, you worked with Derek at some point.  In Part 1, Derek reminisces about growing up in Overbrook, early concerts, his love of music, and his early career as a social worker working with at-risk youth in Philadelphia. In an attempt to raise money via a benefit concert, Derek got his first taste of being part of the business from behind the scenes, and the rest is history. Dan and Derek talk about the Philly music scene in the 90s and early 00s, the bands in Derek's orbit (Town Hall, June Rich, Huffamoose, etc), and how he made his career, even if (according to him) he had no idea what he was doing.  Derek was diagnosed with a very rare version of trigeminal neuralgia, a neurological disease that attacks the body with sharp, sudden bursts of pain.

Dan talks with Josh Ostrander, aka Mondo Cozmo, from his basement studio in Los Angeles. After mutually admiring each other's set-ups through their computer screens, Josh talks to Dan about growing up outside Philadelphia, all the ups and downs with his previous groups La Guardia and Eastern Conference Champions, and the hard decision to shift to a solo project back in 2016. Since then Josh has toured constantly, put out multiple releases, and written more songs than he could ever know what to do with. Josh details how touring with Spoon just before their last album, 'Lucifer On the Sofa', was a master class in how a band reinvents itself, and those lessons would inform his own work going forward. His latest LP, 'It's PRINCIPLE', is out now and available wherever you get your digital music. Mondo Cozmo is playing 10/26 at Underground Arts as part of Philly Music Fest, sharing a bill with Devon Gilfillian, The Tisburys, and Emily Drinker.  'Want To Play A Song?: Live On 25 O'Clock Vol. 1' is out now exclusively on Bandcamp, and is a compilation of 10 unique performances from the podcast over the last ten years. All the proceeds from the compilation go to support Philly Music Fest's charitable giving. Every year, PMF donates all the profits from the festival to music non-profits all over Philadelphia. Since their inception, they've donated over $500K to music and education charities throughout the region.

Then we are thrilled to chat with Chef Jennifer Fear Zavala about the latest The Kimmel Cultural Campus - Garces Group Chef Jose Garces - Garces Family Foundation - Volvér - Chefs in Residency Program. Her residency will be from March 16th to May 1st, 2022. Chef Jennifer Zavala is an industry veteran, having spent 14 of her 27 year career in Philadelphia. A self-taught chef, Jennifer's inspiration is drawn from her Mexican roots. Her career started in her home state of Connecticut, at a vegan macrobiotic restaurant. Zavala's authentic style of cooking earned her a spot cooking in the kitchens of celebrities, Ozzy Osbourne, Britney Spears, Iron Maiden, Snoop Dogg and many more. Previous credits include, Cha Chas (Los Angeles) and here in Philadelphia: El Camino Real, Xochilt, The Farmers Cabinet, Underground Arts and Will BYOB. Jennifer's star was on the rise, and included a stint on the 6th season on Bravo's popular cooking competition, Top Chef: Las Vegas. Accolades include, 2017 Billy Penn “Movers and Shakers,” Best Cannabis Chef for Philadelphia Magazine, Best Tamales- Philly Current Magazine. Jennifer is a proud member of Les Dames d'Escoffier Int'l (LDEI) Les Dames d'Escoffier Philadelphia, an international philanthropic organization. She is also a CORE ambassador for the Philadelphia region. Jennifer continues to blaze a trail for women by disrupting the food industry with her passion for Mexican cuisine. She has opened her own Brick & Mortar with a cult-like following called “Juana Tamale” at 1941 East Passyunk Avenue. The menu consists of her famous Birria Tacos, Oxacan green corn tamales, and homemade, bavarian-filled Churros. Donations at Volver will support Zavala and leverage the opportunity for visibility for her community. As a woman, Mom and Chef, she plans to use these funds to put back into the community she is raising her family in. Last, but certainly not least will be Cole Glass, founder and creator of Hero Bread. In partnership with seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady and Subway and a robust following of high-profile investors across sports, entertainment and technology (Kevin Durant and Rich Kleiman's 35 Ventures, Diamond-selling artist The Weeknd, and multi-platinum artist Lil Baby to name a few) and is a particularly appealing choice for bread lovers who are interested in low net carb and keto lifestyles. Hero is a delicious low net carb, zero sugar bread packed with protein and fiber that looks, smells, and tastes just like traditional bread but has a significantly improved nutritional profile. Cole was born with severe food allergies related to pollen and is unable to eat nutrient-rich staples like fresh fruits, vegetables and nuts. As a bread lover allergic to most ingredients in non-traditional breads, Glass set out on a mission to create a better bread option. Thus, Hero was born. You say you STILL NEED MORE!!! Don't forget we still have our regular weekly segments from author, Courier-Post nightlife correspondent and The New York Times recognized blogger John Howard-Fusco for foodie news of the week, Chef Barbie Marshall who is a Chef Gordon Ramsay Hell's Kitchen Season 10 finalist and has appeared on Season 17 of FOX Hell's Kitchen #AllStars as well named Pennsylvania's most influential chef by Cooking Light will delight us with her observation of the week, highly acclaimed and respected Vegan Chef Christina Martin will delight with her ‘Healthy Bite' of week giving nourishing and wholesome advice, and a joke of the week from legendary joke teller Jackie “The Joke Man” Martling of The Howard Stern Show fame.

Thanksgiving has passed, so has Black Friday, so we kick off Super Saturday by rehashing the LeBron to the Sixers story, worrying a touch about Ben Simmons' elbow, discussing the two comfortable wins over Portland and Utah, open up the Lorenzo Brown mailbag, and who would win in a one-possession battle, TJ or TJ? The second Live Ricky is happening on December 22nd at Underground Arts with our friends in BGN Radio. We have some special guests planned and we're looking forward to partying deep into the holiday night with you. Tickets are $15 through Monday then they go up to $18, so don't wait!

Today, we are taking the podcast MOBILE! We are at Underground Arts in Philadelphia, PA, interviewing a man that I met back in 2013, directly after his performance with his then band Capital Cities. Now he is going solo as he tours the US promoting his upcoming album set to be released in the summer and his hit song "Diggy" that has been featured on Target's Spring Commercial.

Almost two years ago, two gals in a NYC comedy duo started a podcast called Guys We Fucked to spread sexual positivity, stop slut-shaming, and, let's be real, get over their own shit. Corinne wanted to know why she got dumped by the love of her life in a Panera Bread and Krystyna needed to get past the intense insecurity she felt due to the fact that her boyfriend used to date a porn star. Today, they interview that porn star. And, you guys, it's fucking STOYA. So, turn up this highly-anticipated interview and start taking down that person who femasculates you from their pedestal (that may or may not be located in a garbage can...this part will make sense later).

After Corinne regales the #fuckers with her tale of being a fallen mouth soldier, the girls of Sorry About Last Night dissect an excitingly explorative E-mail (cough sexual slave fantasy cough) and recount a second E-mail that they decided was better left in the safety of their private inbox. This week, Corinne & Krystyna sit down with friend, comic & molestation survivor, JUSTIN PEREZ, to talk about being sexually abused by a close family member of the same gender, when to unload your baggage on the new girlfriend, hyper sexuality, cheating, therapy, manic masturbation, and what to do when your molester shows up at your comedy show. Plus, farts! Just to keep it light & airy. Like the music we put on the episodes?
