Podcasts about unpretentious

Greg Kihn, the California-via-Baltimore pop rocker passed away in August 2024, leaving behind a truly great FM radio hit with “The Breakup Song” and his biggest song, “Jeopardy”, that hit #2 and found heavy rotation on MTV.  The same song was famously parodied by Weird Al Yankovic. Kihn also had a long career as a rock radio DJ on KFOX, and he wrote books. But mostly he was a guy who just kept rocking. After a run of yearly albums for more than a decade, from the mid 70's to the mid 80's, he released his final album (Rekihndled) in 2017, a throwback to the ringing guitars pounding drums, and the echoes-of-The Beatles sound that he mined for a long time. Sure, he's remembered for his two big two songs, but he and his Greg Kihn Band had a couple more kinda-hits and a catalog of under-the-radar power pop.  I liked Greg Kihn's music. Unpretentious working rock and roll. “We want people to come back to hear the music,” he said in a 1982 interview. “I mean, nobody goes to see Bruce Springsteen because of the light show.”

ORDER ALEX'S BOOK HERE https://www.whsmith.co.uk/products/ou... ABOUT ALEX Stand-up-comedian turned priest's tale of generosity and compassion to HarperNorth HarperCollins today announce the acquisition of Our Daily Bread: From Argos to the Altar – a Priest's Story by Father Alex Frost. Jonathan de Peyer, senior commissioning editor, acquired World All Languages rights from Jane Graham-Maw of Graham Maw Christie for HarperNorth. The book will publish in hardback, ebook and audio in October 2022, with a foreword from fellow son of Burnley Alastair Campbell. Our Daily Bread is a warmly funny, intensely moving and personal account of the lives of an urban parish priest and his parishioners. De Peyer said: ‘Father Alex has written a wonderful book that reminds us of the bonds that can be forged between people in adversity. Unpretentious, faithful to the stories of those whose lives Alex has touched, funny, and above all timely, Our Daily Bread is a salve in this time of acute crisis.' Father Alex Frost found his calling while running an Argos store in his native Burnley, moonlighting as a stand-up comedian. Once he became a priest, he quickly realised his 17,000 parishioners were in dire need of help. And so it was that during Covid he found himself running a food bank from a car park, helping the desperate amid his flock as the pandemic raged. Fr Alex's down-to-earth style of ministry has struck a chord with people of all faiths, cultures and class, and amid the tragedy, addiction, illness and neglect, there also lies hope, joy and comedy. Our Daily Bread is about the lives of the characters that cross the threshold of any church. Through them it shows the continued service of the church for the poor and the marginalised. Frost said: ‘It's such an honour to give a voice to some incredible people living through these tough times. It's my wish that the book is read by anyone concerned with the effects of the pandemic and the cost of living crisis upon Britain's poorest, and I truly hope it helps change things for the better. HarperNorth feels like a natural home with its mission to bring books from the North to the world.'The God Cast with Fr Alex Frost

“Unpretentious” isn't a word you see often in marketing materials for senior living communities, but it shows up several times in the description of Northaven Senior Living in Seattle. Darlene Storti, Northaven's executive director, joins “Elevate Eldercare” to discuss this down-to-earth assisted and independent living community for lower- and moderate-income elders – as well as the organization's plans to open the Nook, which will feature workforce housing with on-site early childhood care and education services for up to 100 kids. It's all part of Storti's vision to desegregate and destigmatize growing older for people of all ages, a mission grounded in her experience working with both elders and teenagers alike.

Please listen/watch the energy forecast for more detailed information... and a kickass guided meditation! We see so many spiritual seekers eager for more magic... and with that, a dismissing of the everyday work-a-day world, the mundane. Yet guess what? Magic LIVES in the mundane, so much so, that we often miss it. We can't see the forest from the trees... we can't sniff the magic right under our noses. Because that's often how magic shows up. Unpretentious. Ordinary. Right smack dab in the middle of life!

If entering the spirits industry—as rookies, no less—were easy, everyone would do it. Childhood best friends JD Recobs and Chris Buglisi are tackling this challenge head on with a unique product: whiskey for everyone. Welcome to Building While Flying! This weekly podcast is brought to you by the Sasha Group. We're the small-to-medium-sized business arm of the VaynerX family of companies. We help ambitious companies build strong brands that flex with the times through strategy, branding, media, and marketing. In ever-changing times, businesses and brands have to shift and adapt. And across all sectors, there is an air of experimentation. Business owners are trying new things out in the wild;  building the plane while flying. Our pilots, Katie Hankinson and Mickey Cloud, will be talking to a diverse range of business leaders and founders. They'll explore how these guests tackle various challenges while staying resilient and committed to growth. Through these real-life examples of strategies put into practice, we hope to inspire you to experiment and develop your own strategies as we all navigate these uncertain times together.  JD Recobs and Chris Buglisi are two of the most unpretentious whiskey guys you'll ever meet. They created Misunderstood Ginger Spiced Whiskey with one goal in mind: to make the whiskey for whiskey newbies, connoisseurs, and everyone in between. It began as a passion project that they worked on tirelessly after their corporate jobs, and has grown into a strong brand with big plans to keep growing.  In their conversation with Mickey, Chris and JD talk about the early days of Misunderstood Whiskey: experimenting with blends and infusions late at night after working corporate jobs, and many not-great tastings. After landing on the right batch, they took it to market. They discuss the challenges of entering an old, traditional industry with lots of history, and how they discovered their ideal target audience. Mickey asks them about the tension between eagerness to grow and the need to stay patient (spoiler alert: it keeps them up at night). And lastly, Chris and JD give a sneak peek into what's coming up next for Misunderstood Whiskey - including breaking into some new markets!

In the past year teachers have been super-human heroes pivoting on a dime to continue to teach our children in the face of a global pandemic. In May of 2020 it seemed they were finally getting the respect and attention they deserved. By September of 2020 the pendulum had swung and teachers were the focus of controversy and derision. Throughout all of that Jon Hinthorne has kept his focus on his students. Leading and supporting them with love, and doing his damndest to be a voice of calm rationality in a crazy world. While he self-describes as "just a Spanish teacher from California" the truth is that Jon is leading a movement to find better ways to teach, lead, and heal our children. His project An Unconventional Teacher celebrates new approaches that help to captivate and engage students raised with YouTube, smart phones, and Google. He's pretty freakin' awesome!

Before John was arrested for poaching wild ghost orchids, he was a typical horticulturist. In the late 1980s, John was active in the Bromeliad ("brow·mee·lee·ad) Society of Broward County, and he was giving lectures on topics like “Growing Bromeliads from Seeds” and “New Techniques in Bromeliad Culture.” By the early 1990s, John’s attention turned to orchids, and this passion would end up becoming a story fit for a book. One of the first newspapers to share the story was the Indiana Gazette on June 14, 1993: “Susan Orlean's… "The Orchid Thief" tells the tale of John Laroche... When a fascination with orchids overtook him, he... conceived a scheme that would benefit the Seminoles, the world, and himself. Using the Seminoles' exemption from laws against picking orchids in the wild, he helped himself to rare specimens growing in a Florida swamp called the Fakahatchee ("Fack-ah-HATCH-ee") Strand State Preserve. His plan was to clone them by the millions, make them available to fanciers everywhere and thus save them in their wild state by obviating the need to pick them. Not incidentally, he would make a fortune for the Seminoles and himself. But the law did not agree, and Laroche was arrested and convicted for poaching. Attracted by an article on Laroche's arrest, Susan Orlean, a reporter for The New Yorker, traveled to Florida, befriended Laroche, and got him to introduce her to his world. Near the opening of The Orchid Thief, Susan describes how she approaches her subjects, "I read lots of local newspapers and particularly the shortest articles in them, and most particularly any articles that are full of words in combinations that are arresting. In the case of the orchid story, I was interested to see the words 'swamp' and 'orchids' and 'Seminoles' and 'cloning' and 'criminal' together in one short piece." Today it’s estimated that only around 2,000 ghost orchids remain in Florida.   February 19, 1932   On this day, The Shreveport Journal shared a story about the botanist Charles Swingle and his quest to find the Euphorbia Intisy ("in-tah-ZEE"). “Charles Swingle was the first American botanist to set foot on the island of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean. He was on the trail of a peculiar rubber plant called "Intisy," which government scientists thought might be grown In our own Southwest. When this young American arrived in Madagascar, he found he was just 15 minutes too late to catch a little coastwise boat heading to the south. The natives simply couldn't understand his disappointment.  "Oh sir," they said, "another boat will arrive in six weeks. In the meantime, there is rice for all —so there is nothing to worry about, good sir" In the native Malagash language, there is no word for "time." They spend a few days a year planting, transplanting, and harvesting rice—and there's enough food for all. "Don't the natives ever get tired of rice?" I asked Dr. Swingle. "Not at all" be explained, "If they get tired of white rice they change to red rice or blue rice or brown As many as 64 varieties grow in Madagascar And then there are special delicacies to go with it—delicacies that are for those who like dried grasshoppers and locusts." Dr. Swingle made daily trips to the village markets to get peanuts, bananas, pineapples, guavas, mangoes, or papayas to add to the hotel diet of rice. On the sixteenth day of his march into the southern brush, Dr. Swingle sighted the first of his long-sought for plants—the Intisy plants. The curious bulbous roots were filled with water—the best they had had for many a day. And the milky latex which oozed from its trunk was found to be pure rubber.” The Euphorbia Intisy is a large, succulent tree growing up to almost 25 feet tall. Thanks to Charles Swingle, the plant was experimentally cultivated in the American Southwest.   Unearthed Words Kindliness, so far as the Algerian Iris is concerned, consists in starving it. Rich cultivation makes it run to leaf rather than to flower. What it really enjoys is being grown in a miserably poor soil, mostly composed of old lime and mortar rubble and even gravel: a gritty mixture at the foot of a sunny wall, the grittier and the sunnier, the better. Sun and poverty are the two things it likes. You should search your clumps of the grass-like leaves every day for possible buds, and pull the promising Bud while it still looks like a tiny, tightly rolled umbrella, and then bring it indoors and watch it open up under a lamp. If you have the patience to watch for long enough, you will see this miracle happen. If you have not yet got this Iris in your garden and want to acquire it, you can plant it in March or April; but September is the best time for transplanting. It does not much like being split up and moved, so whenever you require it, do make sure that it does not get too dry until it has had time to establish itself. After that, it will give you no trouble. — Vita Sackville West, English author and garden designer, In Your Garden, Algerian Iris   Grow That Garden Library Embroidered Ground by Page Dickey This book came out in 2012, and the subtitle is Revisiting the Garden. In this book, Page recounts her journey as she created her magnificent garden, Duck Hill, in upstate New York. Gardeners will relate to the challenges and the pleasures that Page encountered creating her masterpiece. Best of all, we get a chance to learn directly from Page as she shares her unique perspective on making a garden shine - from textures and structure to fragrance and color. Page shares her garden’s story and her garden wisdom like she’s writing a story for a dear garden friend. Unpretentious and insightful, Page takes us on a delightful garden stroll through the evolution of her garden. This book is 272 pages of a garden by a garden writer who shares the tender story of how they both grew old together.

The bones were cleaned, boiled, and dried. They were used as the wings for embroidered insects or leaves for flowers. The design was usually embroidered on black velvet. The tiny fish bones were sewn into place in a pattern that was embellished with original embroidery.  This is not as odd as it might seem if you look today at the modern collages made with large animal bones, nuts, bolts, prune pits, and other ordinary materials.”   Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener. And remember: "For a happy, healthy life, garden every day."

Our guest today was born and raised in the North West of England and always had an on-off relationship with bicycles in his childhood. Was in high school that he cycled the length of the country and really got interested in cycling. The addiction only came in his mid-twenties when he started commuting to work in Central London and gradually it became a greater part of his life. Unpretentious enough to call himself a “casual cyclist”, he has a few epic rides under his belt such as Paris-Roubaix, Tour of Flanders and Manchester to London. After a brilliant and successful career in advertising at Fallon and Saatchi & Saatchi, his eyes on mixing his two passions for marketing and sports took him to become the Global Marketing Director at the most loved cycling apparel company Rapha.

How to Live an Unpretentious Life 1). Seek Honesty From Within – It really is the best policy. *Mirror Challenge 2). Be Intuitive – Intuition comes to us directly from our soul.  If you feel uncomfortable about doing something, it means that place, those people or that thing is not for you.  Intuition is calling you to tap into your higher self. LISTEN. 3). Watch Your Anxiety Levels – If you begin to feel anxious or unsettled about something, remove yourself from the equation. This is different from intuition because anxiety can cause you to feel physically ill and/or nervous. 4). Stay In Your Lane – What God has for you, IS for you and NO ONE can take that away. Don't let envy or jealousy in the door of your life. James 3:16 “For where envy and self-seeking exist, confusion and EVERY evil thing are there.

Sermon Text:  Esther 6-10 First Reading: Psalm 136 Second Reading: Philippians 2:5-11

Being in leadership creates a barrier, a power imbalance, between you and those you lead. Yet genuine relationships are critical to being effective as a leader. Let's talk about how to overcome barriers when engaging with your team.

HAT 4: BLT… Universal Harmony On BreadEvery now and then, and often at just the right time, the universe will remind you that in spite of whatever jackassery du jour is currently eroding what remains of your sanity that things will be okay. You simply have to be courageous enough to play the long game and surrender your trust to the precept that the universe demands balance. One can find balance in sunrise and sunset or even in the bipolar mood swings of a teenager. But, the most delightful place to find perfect balance is right in your pantry. Does that sound crazy? Well, HERE’S A THING…Rare and treasured are the days when one is able to take delight in finding the simplest of universal truths among the perpetual friction and frenzy of existence. Fear not, for there exists a place free from discordant dissonance. The sheltered harbor in which you seek refuge from the chaos is known as balance. There are forces battling for your soul, ladies and gentlemen. Conventional wisdom will tear you asunder, but universal truth will always be your beacon in the darkness. Conventional wisdom is nothing more than the intellectual clutter of quasi-informed kiddie pool pirates which aimlessly bumps into the walls of the whims of popular narrative. But, universal truth… universal truth is pure function and reason, a perfect state that transcends spacetime and simply IS. Topping the list of the blessed invariable constants that form the ethereal substance of existence is the harmony of balance. And, as I noted previously and will evangelize until my eternal celestial dirt nap, the universe will always demand balance. Where can you find the perfect embodiment of balance in your world? What if I told you the answer was between two slices of white bread?There may be no more perfect balance of flavor and texture in the physical universe than the bacon, lettuce, and tomato sandwich. Crispy and salty bacon with a hint of fat for flavor and chew, bright and acidic tomato, the earthy and watery crunch of iceberg lettuce, the creamy tang of mayo that insulates the lightly toasted white bread from becoming soggy. Each element of the BLT humbly serves a function as part of a thing greater than itself. Each element of the BLT gives itself to the fusion, creating perfection from simple beauty the way the spectrum of colors creates pure white light without destroying its constituents. This sandwich is an engineering marvel. It is complex in its simplicity. It is esculent joy. It is childhood before multiplicity ruins life. It is the comestible enlightenment. It is perfect.I recently heard someone utter the following collection of syllables. "The BLT is overrated." I had to take a knee and evaluate the foundation of my philosophy to ensure I was still on earth. To borrow from George Carlin, that sentence makes as much sense as, "Hand me that piano." It’s incongruous. The BLT is perfection in its simple elegance. To say it’s overrated as a sandwich is to say water doesn’t have much to offer as a beverage. Water is what it’s supposed to be. It doesn’t need to be anything else to accomplish its mission. The same is true for our dear friend, the unpretentious BLT. Unpretentious means simple and honest and that is precisely what the BLT delivers. Isn’t that the essence of what we’re all looking for here? Authenticity! The bacon, lettuce, & tomato sandwich is verisimilitude on bread. Mankind is inclined to make sad attempts at enhancing that which needs no enhancement, inclined to monkey around with everything from fonts and margins to the human genome when bored for more than three seconds, instead of taking a small step back and enjoying the gift of simple elegance we paint racing stripes on it and stencil our name on the door. Brioche, cheese, avocado, garlic aioli, and micro greens accompanied by bacon can certainly make a delicious sandwich, but do not have the temerity to call it a BLT for it is something else entirely. It is conventional wisdom while the BLT is universal truth. You may not eat BLTs. You may hate BLTs. You may be totally ambivalent regarding all sandwiches and general food discussion. I support all of those positions. However, you may never think that the BLT is overrated. That is irrational and does not equate to a thought. Next you'll tell me that thermodynamics proves perpetual motion.And so I say to you, the sadly misguided soul who sees the BLT as something nascent and unimproved... There are so very few truly special things in this world. Please be more thoughtful when venturing a discussion about them. Find a mentor who will teach Socratically. Spend time thinking and writing. Travel and immerse yourself among the world's cultures. Work with children. Start your own business. Celebrate your 40th birthday. Then consider verbalizing an opinion about the BLT.Too Soon Old, Too Late SmartEmbrace the simple joy of balance without pretense.That’s enough to ponder for now. This episode is dedicated to Socrates who died pursuing critical thought, Alton Brown who taught me everything about the importance of balance in flavor and texture of food, and my wife who taught me how to be. These are my three greatest idols and icons of balance and reason. Also, special thanks to Neal Boortz for the delightful turn of phrase that I pirated.

Charlotte Riddell was born in 1832 in County Antrim, Northern Ireland. After she married she moved to London where she lived most of her life and died in Ashford in Kent in 1906. Riddell was a very prolific novelist and well known in the Victorian period. She actually owned and ran a Literary Magazine in the second half of the 19th Century.  The Open Door is considered a classic Victorian ghost story and it reminds me of some of Wilkie Collin’s stories which are more or less contemporary. The Open Door is both a ghost story and not a ghost story. It has elements in it reminiscent of Scooby Doo and if hadn’t been for the pesky sacked insurance clerk, maybe you know who would have got away with it But for all that the opening of the door does appear to be supernatural. It simply won’t stay shut and breaks of the handle of the gimlet. We don’t use gimlets much these days, but once I looked up what a gimlet was the phrase ‘gimlet eyed’ became more understandable. And then there is the monstrous figure that appears at the end. This seems to truly be a ghost and the apparition reminds us that the function of ghosts in stories is often a warning and a demand that murder or other outrages be put right and justice be done. Banquo’s Ghost in MacBeth and Hamlet’s father in Hamlet do much the same. It’s all about revenge. The story is a pretty straightforward adventure but there are a couple of nice touches. Phil Edlyd’s uncle seems a nice chap. He uses dialect thee and thou, which is a nice homely touch. Another endearing feature is that Phil longs to be a country boy. He loves horses such as old Toddy and he luxuriates over the descriptions of the beautiful summer countryside outside Ladlow Hall. In the end he gets to be a farmer with his beloved Patty. The Victorian ghost story was an outgrowth of the Gothic novel, a specialist sub-branch if you like. Ladlow Hall functions as the ruined castle/abbey etc of the Gothic novel. All in all a nice piece. Unpretentious but sweet. Not scary. But then ghost stories are really scary. They’re not horror stories you know. And besides after the Human Caterpillar there’s not much can scare we moderns anyway.

Kirsten Wile of Unpretentious Palate joins the pod to discuss her time at Charlotte Magazine, the importance of true restaurant criticism, and the Charlotte food scene.

Andrea Amez is a gifted esthetician, discerning product concierge and educated cosmetic chemist. She is best known for the "transformational facials" she gives at Skin Worship, one of the most influential, holistic beauty collectives in Los Angeles, and for her own fabulously luminescent skin. Our friendship alone changed my skin way before she gave me my first facial. Andrea convinced me to stop relishing in the sick pleasure of extracting my own blackheads, educated me about the benefits and tricky politics of the "green beauty" industry and actually got me to use toner and sunscreen daily (after years of knowing I should). Andrea is also a cranial sacral therapist, meaning she performs subtle bodywork on the bones of the head and spinal column to release energetic blockages from the body. She may see celebrity clients in Beverly Hills and have her signature style of natural glam featured in L’uomo Vogue, but her philosophy as a healer is inclusive and compassionate. Listen to our conversation to hear how a run-in with a Hollywood superstar in the early 2000s fueled her passion for skincare, how she's attempting to correct gaps in the availability of quality skin services for women of color and how spirituality factors into her practice as an esthetician. Andrea also answers questions about types of retinol, under-eye discoloration, under-boob acne, the various dermatological issues plaguing our inner thighs and genitals, whether or not smoking weed is bad for your skin and how so many influencers go about achieving skin as smooth as a dolphin's. Andrea is brilliant, hilarious and delightfully down-to-earth. Follow her on Instagram @amez_skinworship.

We met up with him straight after his appearance at the BBC on the legendary kid's program, Blue Peter. Unpretentious, super engaging and very tolerant of Nick's mad ramblings, Al was a smashing gent to have a pint of three with. Enjoy. Al's site: https://www.alastairhumphreys.com/

"The London Review of Books can be quite a daunting experience." Ed Needham loves books. And he also knows a thing or two about making magazines; he was the editor of FHM in its late 90s heyday, and he went on to edit FHM in the USA, then Rolling Stone and Maxim. But his latest editorial position is altogether more humble – Strong Words is a new magazine that takes a fresh and unpretentious look at books, and Ed is its editor, publisher, marketing manager and van driver. He dropped into the Stack office to speak about his new publishing project, the ways in which it has changed since it started earlier this year, and how he plans to develop it over the coming months. As is often the case with independent publishers who find they have to do everything themselves, Ed is open about the things he finds most difficult, and excited by the opportunity to tweak all aspects of the magazine as he goes. There will be lots of magazine makers who feel very familiar with his struggles over marketing, distribution and production...

In this episode we talk about Haruki Murakami's novel, A Wild Sheep Chase. Overview “The thing is you’re looking for something two-dimensional and not quite real. It never lasts. But you can’t expect something unreal to last anyway, can you?” The ordinary, desultory, and nameless protagonist of Haruki Murakami’s A Wild Sheep Chase is not the character one immediately wants to identify with. At times incorrigible, mostly helpless, and constantly at a loss for understanding his farrago of a life, Murakami throws our “hero” out of his mundane Tokyo life and into a phantasmagoric raft of characters, situations, and – sheep. Accompanied by his newfound girlfriend (endowed with supernatural ears), the hapless lead meets with a nefarious rightwing organization demanding that a certain oddly marked sheep be found – or else. More schlemiel than samurai, the two then embark across the country, finding a conspiracy worth of secrets that align the sheep’s history with Japan’s checkered past. With the protagonist’s anxieties with direction and certainty, his quest for the sheep slowly becomes even more problematic and less coincidental then thought, something destined – and all in a world seemingly meaningless. Murakami’s work grapples with fate and knowing, plumbing depths that never seem to have a tangible bottom, yet can’t help but be explored with a child’s bungling wonder. This fiction’s lack of character names and cultureless settings provide a Kafkaesque backdrop for raising universal questions about the human condition, about what it means to know someone, and if our fantasies are more real than humdrum banality. Murakami’s tone is fitting then. His writing only reifies enough to depict surreal conversations without the specificity of most novelist’s minutia. Unpretentious and lean, the prose suits a journey one part philosophical feint into the abyss, and two parts deadpan comedy. We find a narrative replete with nuggets of the uncanny and memories of the mundane that define living’s splendor and significance. Entrancing and attention-grabbing, A Wild Sheep Chase retains its literary quality without implementing beguiling references or long-winded descriptions. In short, it does what the novel is meant to do -  utilizing the vehicle of story to foist insoluble riddles, only to toy around with the answers. Wacky and hard-boiled, comedic yet forlorn, A Wild Sheep Chase tries to mystify the demystified and concoct meaning in contradictions of the determined and happenstance. We discover a wonder embedded in Murakami’s mediocrity, but a wonder that only arrives after we count sheep and fall into a deep slumber traced by dreams.   -Jordan Finn This episode's music features a track called "CNG" by wastoids Halfway Killed.

You’re going to remember Adam Burrows. As a songwriter and performer of singular accomplishment, Burrows’ warm and witty observations explore the beautiful landscapes found just beyond familiar horizons. Unpretentious and conversational, he offers songs that reflect his small town upbringing, celebrating the simplest of everyday moments in the words of characters that remain with you like old friends. As a gifted storyteller who’s practiced his rhythm, Adam delivers these narratives with percussive finger-picking and melodies that can haunt your idle moments for days. There’s just something honest, fresh, and unique about Adam’s style that resonates. Respected Nashville DJ, Wells Adams says, “Adam Burrows is one of the best lyricists in this town, which is saying a lot in Music City, USA. I have lost count of the number of times I have featured him on my radio show and I’m itching to spin more of his records. He has played our showcases (Lightning 100) and left audience members and fellow musicians alike in awe. This guy is the real deal.” Adam’s formative years in his native Ohio prepared him to make a move to Nashville, and in the decade that’s since passed, the evidence has shown that it’s where he ought to be. He’s been spotlighted for his exceptional work at respected venues across the region, been nominated in annual song writing competitions, and maintained an honored presence on radio programmers’ playlists, in Nashville and distant airwaves elsewhere. He’s not one to hunker down in one spot, though— Burrows has toured the United States and Canada, and ranged as far as Sicily, Ireland, and Germany at the invitation of grateful audiences and other artists who admire his work. Internationally-known, Australian artist, Stu Larsen writes, “When Mike (Passenger) and I were on the road in North America last year, a guy came up to me after a show in Washington D.C. and gave me three of his road trip CDs which he thought we might like. We fell in love with one of them in particular, an album called Tall Tales by Adam Burrows. It quickly became a favourite and I’ve had a number of these tracks stuck in my head over the last six months. In fact, I loved these songs so much that I got in touch with Adam to tell him how much I loved his work and I ended up inviting him to tour with me through North America. I love how this world connects people.” Adam has played at respected venues and festivals such as Musikfest, BMI’s 8 Off 8th, YouBloom LA, Bluebird Cafe, Musicians Corner, and Music City Roots. He was nominated for the Deli Nashville’s Best of 2012 Poll for Emerging Artists and was a Top eight finalist in Lightning 100’s 2013 Music City Mayhem contest. Last year Adam recorded a Daytrotter Session, was selected for an official showcase at Folk Alliance International, was chosen as a finalist in the South Florida Folk Festival’s songwriting competition, toured on the Song and Whispers Songwriter’s circuit in Germany, and had his song “Right” featured as a top-ten song of the week in Alternate Root Magazine. Following up his three previous albums, Tall Tales, Never One for Silence, and Forward, he is currently working on a fourth album, and perfecting his newer material in live performances as often as possible.

Unpretentious:  The one word that can summarize the dining philosophy as it relates to their cuisine, service staff, and ambiance of Madison’s which located in the heart of downtown Pendleton, IN. Through the little hall just past the garden patio and indoor family dining rests a charming little, prohibition era like, adult only bar which boasts one of the best stocked bars in the Midwest with an eclectic wine list, an amazing array of whiskeys, and a wide variety of domestic, craft beers.   The Pigs thought they died and went to heaven.  The Pigs were invited for their World Tour of Whiskey event and had the pleasure of chatting with owner and chef, Dan Stackpoole, before their delightful whiskey journey.  It was easy to figure out after hearing Dan talk about his passion for food and drinks just why Madison’s has such a fantastic selection of fine wines and whiskeys.  Only the best of the best make their way to this overflowing bar of goodies.  The warm, quant, brick atmosphere, along with the savory menu and mammoth drink selection, is enough to provide anyone with a congenial time while dining at Madison’s. But it’s the great staff and local regulars who treat everyone who walks in the door as part of the family that will keep you coming back time and time again. Tune in to this week’s episode to hear about Dan’s journey to Madison’s, it’s great food and drinks, and some of the great live, original music you may encounter while you are there.  Also hear from Mayor elect, Dwayne, who joined the boys after the whiskey tour as they discussed some of their favorites of the evening.
