Interview Date: February 16th, 2025Episode Summary: This episode features Khalid Freeman—body percussionist, choreographer, and field team director—known for merging musicianship and movement. A veteran of STOMP (nine years), Cirque du Soleil, and five Super Bowl Halftime Shows, Khalid translates drummer-level musicality onto the body, treating the performer as the instrument itself.Khalid retraces his path from tap (inspired by Gregory Hines) to stepping and finally to body percussion, unpacking how “you are the drum set.” He explains the difference between stepping's militant power and body music's nuance, and shares how STOMP honed his dynamics, phrasing, and counting. Highlights include being an original cast for Michael Jackson: The Immortal World Tour and later contributing choreography to MJ ONE (“Wanna Be Startin' Somethin'”). On the Super Bowl side, he demystifies the field team role—executing KP's vision, staging giant formations safely, and problem-solving live.Khalid encourages dancers to develop a musician mindset (ghost notes, sustains, phrasing), break the fourth wall to connect with audiences, and cultivate versatility by training across styles and teachers. He contrasts film (repeatable, permanent capture) with live events (one shot, controlled adrenaline) and reminds performers to be coachable, patient, and fully present. Above all, find your authentic “grocery-cart/shower/kitchen dance” so industry work doesn't erase your voice.Show Notes:(07:43) – Formal intro and career overview (08:48) – Body percussion explained; stepping vs. body music(12:35) – Nine years in STOMP; musicality and dynamics(17:01) – Triple-threat: breaking the fourth wall(24:09) – MJ Immortal cast experience & callbacks(25:09) – Adding body percussion to MJ ONE(41:27) – Five Super Bowls overview(42:20) – What a field team director actually does(51:19) – Super Bowl auditions: artist team vs. field cast(58:29) – Film vs. Super Bowl: nerves, capture, and focusBiography:Khalid brings versatility to the Body Music world with his unique percussive dance style. Putting his stank and flava in various shows and groups such as (Stomp, Stomp the Yard, Stomp Out Loud, Molodi, LXD, Cirque Du Soleil's Michael Jackson Immortal tour and ONE and Beatles LOVE, Usher, Spiegelworld, 5 Super Bowl Haltime shows, European Games closing ceremony and more). Khalid took his instrument/art form on 17 world tours, 46 countries and all 50 states over 26 years so it's clearly his passion and career mission to expand the love of body percussion.Connect on Social Media:Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/khalidfreeman/Youtube - https://www.youtube.com/khalidfreeman?app=desktopWebsite -  https://profile.jamargig.com/khalidfreeman/

A New Sustainable CultureThrough the rise in pop culture, climate change awareness has increasingly been integrated into the entertainment industry. Particularly in the Black community, multimedia cultural campaigns are used to increase interest in environmental movements with the use of light-hearted, fun content. Artists, musicians, and influencers are leveraging their platforms to highlight the impacts of climate change and promote sustainable practices, which, in turn, provides easily accessible resources and information to marginalized communities that empower them to participate in the fight against climate change. Black Communities and Environmental JusticePopulations of color face disproportionate energy burdens caused by climate change. A study conducted by Rice University found that Black communities were more prone to live in vulnerable areas, a generational problem caused by the history of Black gentrification. Even now in 2024, Black communities in Georgia are forced to pay higher electricity bills, despite having lower rates compared to other states, due to old and inefficient household systems. According to the National Black Environmental Justice Networks, African Americans were also found to breathe in 56% more pollution than they cause, whereas their White counterparts breathe in 17% less pollution than generated. African Americans are also 75% more likely than White Americans to live in polluted communities, leading to 13.4% of African American children suffering from asthma, compared to 7.3% of White children. Starting in the 1970s, some black musicians included environmental themes in their productions. Artist Marvin Gaye released “Mercy Mercy Me (The Ecology)” to tackle discussions about oil spills and mercury waste; funk group Earth, Wind, & Fire released “Burnin' Bush” to bring awareness about the global destruction of Mother Earth. Those themes continue today in  music produced by Black artists, such as in the popular single “Feels Like Summer” by Childish Gambino, which conveys worries about uncertain impacts caused by global warming. Additionally, artists such as SZA have partnered with brands to promote sustainable merchandise, encouraging a societal paradigm to rely on eco-friendly products. Representation and EducationWith more than 50% of the world's population active on social media, people are continuously exposed to the influx of information circulated by entertainment. Through the entertainment industry, climate news has become increasingly accessible and engaging, allowing communities to educate themselves on sustainability and mobilize action. Although hip-hop and rap were once considered controversial music genres due to themes of violence, drugs, and misogyny, there is a growing effort to utilize the storytelling aptitude of these genres for social and environmental commentary. Artists use rhymes and flow in hip-hop and rap to effectively share the living conditions, natural disasters, and climate injustice that people face. This empowerment of entertainment has motivated marginalized people to strengthen their community bonds and collaborate in fighting against climate change. The widespread influence of entertainment is fostering inspiration for a new culture promoting climate equity and agency, as well as the normalization of environmentalism in society.  Who are the co-founders of Klean Energy Kulture?Corey Dennard and Michael Hawthorne Jr. (Akachè Marcino) are the co-founders of Klean Energy Kulture, a non-profit environmental entertainment company. Corey Dennard, popularly known as Mr. Hanky, is a hit producer who has worked with top charting artists, including Snoop Dog, Usher, and Soulja Boy. Michael Hawthorne Jr., also known as Akachè Marcino, is an environmentalist and political organizer. Hawthorne has worked on Barack Obama's first presidential campaign and Sierra Club's Beyond Coal Campaign. Together, they lead Black communities towards climate resiliency through campaigning for clean energy.Further ReadingCanary Media: This Atlanta duo has a theory to drive climate action: Make it coolMedium: How Michael Hawthorne Jr Of Klean Energy Kulture Is Helping to Promote Sustainability and Climate JusticeAmerican Lung Association: Disparities in the Impact of Air PollutionAtmos: Composing Climate Change: The Radical Legacy of Black MusiciansClimate Reality Project: Environmental RacismFor a transcript of this episode, please visit https://climatebreak.org/promoting-clean-energy-through-pop-culture-with-klean-energy-kulture-co-founders-michael-hawthorne-jr-and-corey-dennard/.

Justin Bieber BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.This past week has brought a cascade of headlines and social buzz as Justin Bieber makes one of his most significant moves since his lengthy hiatus. The biggest story shaping his legacy is the announcement that Bieber will headline Coachella 2026—a first for him—alongside heavyweights like Sabrina Carpenter, Karol G, and Anyma. His confirmation instantly ignited #Bieberchella mania across X, with the festival's passes selling out so rapidly that it set a post-pandemic record. According to The Economic Times, Bieber's appearance also made him the highest-paid artist in Coachella's history with a noted 10 million dollar deal, reflecting not just star power, but also industry confidence in his enduring appeal. This headline moment comes on the heels of Bieber's re-emergence in music. After retreating from the spotlight in 2022 due to health challenges—namely Ramsay Hunt Syndrome, which led to the cancellation of his “Justice World Tour”—Bieber has recuperated alongside his wife Hailey and their first child, Jack Blues Bieber, welcomed in August 2024. Carefully curated family moments have appeared on Instagram, helping to reshape his public image around resilience, growth, and fatherhood. Yet not all social activity has been soft-focus: Bieber recently unfollowed Usher, his early mentor, on Instagram, sparking rumors about professional reshuffling and evolving alliances.In July, Bieber dropped his comeback album Swag, followed closely by Swag II in September, stirring hopes for a new era of hits and solidifying that his creative energy is back. Instagram teases have kept the hype engine revving, especially a clip of Bieber previewing new music while driving—complete with film and handwriting emojis, suggesting a multimedia-level rollout. Producer Mk.gee confirmed ongoing writing and recording sessions, hinting at a sonically adventurous phase in Bieber's musical story.Industry whispers suggest that a global tour is in development, with insiders pointing both to fan demand and the financial baggage of his earlier tour's abrupt halt. Adding intrigue, a revealing documentary on Bieber's sale of his music catalog and personal struggles dropped this year, further positioning him as a star who's survived immense pressure while plotting a strategic return.On the gossip front, Bieber stirred drama by posting a cryptic Instagram story featuring a pointed song choice on the very day of ex Selena Gomez's wedding, which fans interpret as subtle commentary on their shared past. As coverage oscillates between celebration and speculation, what's undeniable is that Bieber is recalibrating his career with blockbuster moves, creative teases, and headline-grabbing actions—and the world is ready to see what comes next.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

USHER BEST HITS MIX 2025 by Zj Liquid

Hvor grænseoverskridende kan en filmoplevelse være, før det bliver for meget?I denne episode af Betacritic har Jacob Ege Hinchely besøg af Anders Bøtter, og sammen dykker de ned i to af årets mest omtalte film - med spoilersektioner i begge anmeldelser.Først gælder det The Long Walk, baseret på Stephen Kings dystopiske roman, som mange ser som inspirationskilden til både Battle Royale og The Hunger Games. Filmen er instrueret af Francis Lawrence (I Am Legend, The Hunger Games: Catching Fire) og byder på skuespilpræstationer af bl.a. Judy Greer (Archer, Halloween), Cooper Hoffman (Licorice Pizza, The French Dispatch), og David Jonsson (Industry, Rye Lane). De diskuterer den kompromisløse vold, det konstante pres på karaktererne, og hvorfor Mark Hamill (Star Wars, The Fall of the House of Usher) måske ikke fungerer i rollen som majoren.Dernæst går de videre til Bring Her Back, en af de mest intense gyseroplevelser i mange år, instrueret af tvillingebrødrene Danny og Michael Philippou (Talk to Me, RackaRacka). Filmen har allerede fået ry for at være et moderne horrorhøjdepunkt, hvor sorg, traumer og overnaturlig rædsel smelter sammen til en næsten ubærlig oplevelse. Anders Bøtter kalder den et filmisk mesterværk, mens både han og Jacob fremhæver de stærke skuespilpræstationer og den måde, Philippou-brødrene udnytter klassiske gyserelementer på nye, uventede måder. Resultatet er et brilliant mindfuck af en gyserfilm, der efterlader sit publikum både rystede og betagede.Derudover deler de anbefalinger, runder de største nyheder fra film- og serieverdenen og reflekterer over, hvad der gør horror og dystopi så dragende.Tusind tak fordi du lytter med.

What happens when classic literature inspires classic albums? This week, Dude and Don explore two towering concept records that channel the words and worlds of famous authors, transforming poems and dystopias into some of rock's most ambitious music.Theme: Albums Inspired by Books From Poe to Orwell, musicians have long found fuel in the pages of novels and poems—turning tales of fear, fate, and rebellion into creative sonic journeys.1. The Alan Parsons Project – Tales of Mystery and Imagination (1976)Background: Debut album by producer Alan Parsons and songwriter Eric Woolfson, tales of Edgar Allan Poe reimagined in progressive rock. Features guest vocals from John Miles, Arthur Brown, and orchestral flourishes by Andrew Powell.Sound/Legacy: Cinematic, theatrical prog with standout studio effects (early use of vocoder on “The Raven”) and lush orchestration. A cult classic, it set a standard for literary concept albums—melding horror, drama, and symphonic grandeur.Key Tracks: “A Dream Within a Dream,” “The Raven,” “The Tell-Tale Heart,” “The Fall of the House of Usher.”2. David Bowie – Diamond Dogs (1974)Background: Eighth Bowie album, born from an abandoned adaptation of Orwell's Nineteen Eighty-Four, blends dystopian fiction with glam, proto-punk, and theatrical storytelling. Bowie takes the reins on guitar and production.Sound/Legacy: Razor-edged and restless, this LP combines dark glam anthems with fragmented narrative and new techniques like Burroughs' “cut-up” lyrics. “Rebel Rebel” provides glittery hooks, while Halloween Jack and Hunger City stalk its dystopian landscape. Influenced punk and goth scenes to come.Key Tracks: “Diamond Dogs,” “Sweet Thing/Candidate,” “Rebel Rebel,” “Chant of the Ever Circling Skeletal Family.”Diggin'The Hives – Forever Forever The Hives (2025)Duran Duran – Seven and the Ragged Tiger (1983)Of Monsters and Men – All Is Love and Pain in the Mouse Parade (2025)Kathleen Edwards – Billionaire (2025)Join Us What book would make a wild concept album?

Released in March 2004, this album wasn't just a commercial smash, it became a defining moment in music history. Driven by personal turmoil and public curiosity, Confessions blurred the lines between Usher’s private life and his public persona.

Produced by industry giants like Jermaine Dupri, Lil Jon, and Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis, Confessions delivered a string of iconic hits including: “Yeah!” “Burn” “Confessions Part II” “My Boo” (with Alicia Keys) “Caught Up” The album shattered records, selling over 1.1 million copies in its first week and ultimately earning diamond certification. Its success solidified Usher's place as the reigning king of R&B and set a high bar for vulnerability in mainstream male artistry. We discuss the stories behind the music, the cultural buzz that surrounded the album’s release, and how Confessions still holds weight in today’s musical landscape.

Charlie Kirk, a conservative activist and ally of President Trump, was shot and killed Wednesday as he hosted one of his campus debates at Utah Valley University. A witness described the moment a single gunshot was fired, saying, "people started screaming." Investigators say it appears the shooter in the killing of Charlie Kirk acted alone and it was a targeted act. FBI director Kash Patel said law enforcement had someone in custody, suspected of the killing, but hours later, that person was released. CBS News' Scott MacFarlane reports. Conservative activist Charlie Kirk was a close ally to President Trump. A fixture at Mar-A-Lago, he advised Mr. Trump on some of his Cabinet picks. He was also an early champion of JD Vance to be the president's running mate. In a four-minute video recorded from the Oval Office, Mr. Trump described Kirk, saying, "he's a martyr for truth and freedom and there has never been someone who was so respected by youth."

EP. #1249 Spiritual Warfare Unleashed: From Demonic Overdose to Defying the Globalist Abyss Returning guest Allan Paul Roberts recounts a harrowing ordeal that forever altered his life. At sixteen, unknowingly dosed with a massive overdose of mescaline after a family trip to Europe, Allan endured days of hallucinations, paranoia, and isolation in a hospital room. There, he confronted a raging demonic entity, only to be instantly delivered through a desperate recitation of the Lord's Prayer—revealing evil as an intelligent force and God's power as supreme. Decades later, this spiritual battle fuels his exposé on globalist agendas in his book, The Globalist Plan to Collapse Everything to Usher in a New World Order. GUEST:  Allan Paul Roberts is the author of The Globalist Plan to Collapse Everything to Usher in a New World Order, where he exposes global schemes aimed at societal downfall.

Happy Tuesday, Everyone! This week, I sat down with my new friend Rahul Kohli to chat, while on a break from filming Mike Flanagan's new show Carrie. In addition to co-starring with me on the new project, Rahul has found so many new fans as a heartthrob in Mike's other recent shows, including playing Owen in The Haunting of Bly Manor, Sheriff Hassan in Midnight Mass and Leo Usher in The Fall of The House of Usher. You may also know him from his roles as Ravi Chakrabarti in iZombie and Bri in The Life of Chuck, as well as his prolific video game voice work. We had a lot of fun talking about how he fell in love with movies and video games, while growing up as a South Asian kid in the UK and he found his way as an actor without a well-worn path to follow. This conversation really feels like two friends sitting down for coffee, getting real about the life of a working actor— from how to use social media, to embracing insecurity and learning to let go and trust your director. I feel much closer to Rahul after this conversation, and I think you will too! Be sure to stick around after our chat for the Hindsight, where my producer Jeph and I talk about the episode, share details about upcoming live shows and vent about an airplane nemesis!

Last week, the Bureau of Economic Analysis published the latest GDP report. It contained a startling detail. Spending on artificial intelligence added more to the U.S. economy than consumer spending last quarter. This is very quickly becoming an AI economy. I'm interested in how AI will change our jobs. But I'm just as curious about how it will change our minds. We're already seeing that students in high school and college are using AI to write most of their essays. What do we lose in a world where students sacrifice the ability to do deep writing? Today's guest is Cal Newport, the author of several bestsellers on the way we work, including 'Deep Work.' He is also a professor of computer science at Georgetown. One of the questions I get the most by email, in talks, in conversations with people about the news is: If these tools can read faster than us, synthesize better than us, remember better than us, and write faster than us, what's our place in the loop? What skills should we value in the age of AI? Or, more pointedly: What should we teach our children in the age of AI? How do we ride this train without getting run over by it? If you have questions, observations, or ideas for future episodes, email us at PlainEnglish@Spotify.com.
