On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with drummer and educator Nate Morton for a wide-ranging conversation about musicianship, preparation, versatility, listening, and the skills that build a career long after you leave the practice room.Nate is best known to many listeners as the drummer for NBC's The Voice, a gig that requires him to move effortlessly between rock, pop, country, R&B, blues, and just about anything else that lands on the music stand. We talk about how a childhood filled with everything from KISS and Michael Jackson to George Clinton, the Beatles, the O'Jays, the Temptations, Barry White, and Booker T. & the M.G.'s helped build that musical vocabulary. Nate explains why his goal was never to become the “rock guy” or the “jazz guy.” He wanted to become the always-employed guy.But much of our conversation is about what happens beyond the notes. Nate and I dig into preparation, organization, punctuality, adaptability, and musicians' responsibility to the people around them. He shares lessons from his time at Berklee College of Music, including the realization that learning what not to play can be just as important as developing the ability to play. A story about watching Abraham Laboriel Jr. take a four-bar solo becomes a lesson in confidence, restraint, and musical maturity.We also delve deeply into the relationship among drums, bass, singers, and the rest of the band. Nate explains how he adjusts his playing to different vocalists, why listening matters more than showing off, and how his relationship with bassist Sasha Krivtsov on The Voice allows the rhythm section to constantly react and adapt to one another. His philosophy is simple: the band only sounds good when everyone sounds good.Along the way, we talk about teaching, technology, learning music before everything was a click away, the value of relationships, and why small interactions can have an enormous impact on another musician. This one became much more than a conversation about drumming. It's about professionalism, curiosity, generosity, and what it actually takes to build a life in music.Key TakeawaysPreparation extends far beyond practicing your instrument. Being on time, organized, dependable, adaptable, and respectful of other people's time can be as important to a career as technical ability.Versatility creates opportunity. Nate intentionally developed enough vocabulary across multiple styles to walk into different musical situations comfortably. His goal was to become the “always-employed guy.”Listening is one of the most important skills on the bandstand. Whether working with a singer, bassist, guitarist, or an entire ensemble, Nate constantly adjusts his playing according to what everyone else is doing.Great musicians know when not to play. Nate's story about Abraham Laboriel Jr. at Berklee illustrates how confidence and restraint can communicate more than filling every available space.Adaptability matters more than perfect circumstances. From forgotten floor tom legs to unfamiliar backline setups, Nate learned that sometimes you simply have to “sit down and make music.”Music school can give you tools, but the real world teaches you where to use them. Berklee gave Nate technical vocabulary and a safe environment to make mistakes, while professional gigs taught him context, restraint, and musical judgment.Relationships matter. Nate sees genuine human interaction as one of the central principles of both his career and his life, whether he is working with another musician, teaching a student, or answering a question from someone who reaches out online.Music from the EpisodeI Think I Just Said That - Fraud ProphetsScrubs - Fraud ProphetsHomer's Journey - Fraud ProphetsMoths and Mosquitoes - Fraud ProphetsAbout the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is a podcast about the people who make music and the experiences that shape them.

On today's Packernet Podcast, Cal Hutson dives deep into a fundamental pillar of modern NFL roster building: positional versatility. Discover why simply having "good players" isn't enough in a league of constant matchups and how the Packers consistently target athletes who can excel in multiple roles. This isn't just a buzzword; it's the strategic advantage that keeps Green Bay competitive year after year. Cal unpacks how players like Zach Tom, Jayden Reed, and Xavier McKinney embody this philosophy, providing crucial flexibility on both offense and defense. He argues that this approach, though not always "splashy," creates a resilient and adaptable team capable of weathering injuries and outsmarting opponents, unlike some of our NFC North rivals. Please support us over at patreon.com/pack_daddy Venmo @Packernetpodcast.  Tune in to understand why versatility is the silent MVP of roster construction, ensuring long-term success over short-term flashes.

Long before an entire generation of moviegoers learned that six words — "give my daughter the shot" — could completely wreck them, James L. Brooks crafted one of the most emotionally seismic mother-daughter dramas ever put on film. In this episode, we dive into Terms of Endearment (1983), the Best Picture-winning classic that somehow makes you laugh hysterically one minute and sob uncontrollably the next.We break down Shirley MacLaine and Debra Winger's legendary chemistry as Aurora Greenway and her daughter Emma, spanning 30 years of a relationship that's equal parts hilarious and heartbreaking. We get into the behind-the-scenes drama — including the studio's fear that the film's wild tonal shifts would tank it at the box office, and how it instead went on to sweep the Academy Awards with five Oscars, including Best Picture.Along the way, we talk Jack Nicholson's iconic supporting performance and on-set improvisation, the evolving nature of movie stardom, some fascinating casting choices and near-misses (Harrison Ford, Paul Newman, and more), the underrated supporting cast including Danny DeVito, Jeff Daniels, and John Lithgow, and whether this 80s classic still hits as hard today as it did in theaters.Whether you remember ugly-crying in a movie theater in 1983 or you've never seen it and want to know what all the fuss is about, this is your deep dive into one of the defining dramas of the decade.Perfect for fans of: Gen X movie podcasts, 80s movie retrospectives, Terms of Endearment reviews, Shirley MacLaine movies, Jack Nicholson movies, classic tearjerker films, Best Picture Oscar winners, 80s drama and comedy classics, retro movie rewatch podcasts.Chapters00:00 – Introduction to Terms of Endearment03:02 – First Time Viewing and Initial Impressions07:20 – Risky Quizness: Behind-the-Scenes Knowledge12:10 – Studio's Fear and Box Office Success15:29 – Casting and Stellar Performances19:47 – The Legacy of Jack Nicholson20:25 – The Changing Landscape of Movie Stars21:24 – The Craft of Acting and Artistry22:04 – Casting Choices and Regrets22:35 – The Impact of Casting Decisions23:32 – The Charisma of Harrison Ford24:01 – The Role of Paul Newman24:53 – The Influence of the Director on the Script and Actors25:14 – Behind-the-Scenes Improvisation25:48 – The Versatility of Danny DeVito26:24 – The Career of Jeff Daniels29:00 – The Versatility of John Lithgow29:27 – The Replacement of an Actor in the Movie30:13 – The Role of Lisa Hart Carroll31:23 – The Original Casting Choices and the Sequel32:37 – The Impact of the Supporting Cast33:33 – Iconic and Favorite Scenes37:43 – Exploring the Comedy Scenes39:15 – Behind the Scenes with Nicholson40:24 – Intense Dramatic Moments41:18 – Pacing and Rushed Plot42:11 – Impact of Cancer Diagnosis43:20 – Rewatchability and Nostalgia Meter

Liverpool head coach Andoni Iraola has hinted that new signing Bradley Barcola could make his Premier League debut when Liverpool travel to face Ipswich Town on Friday night. 00:00 INTRO 00:18 Iraola on Barcola: "We are very happy with Bradley. It was our priority to sign a very good player in that position. He has come with a very good mentality. I liked from him that he wanted Liverpool a lot...if all goes well in training, he'll definitely be available tomorrow." 1:00 Iraola on Gakpo staying: "Cody is a smart player. We were constantly talking with each other. He's in a good place physically and mentally." 2:10 Iraola on his winger's versatility: "I like my wingers to play both sides. Even Bradley is very open and can play both right and left." 3:32 Iraola on expectations: We can't put pressure on the players to perform because of their price because we've seen how much players have cost at other teams this summer.Once he is our player, he is our player. 4:52 Having no wins yet: you don't win you are frustrated. It's only two games but we need to win. This game tomorrow, the first two games weeks are the most difficult but I'm much more comfortable now the market is closed 5:20 Sometimes it's a matter of the connections they may around them. We trust the wingers we have, they will all get minutes.Rio looks already like a player in the Premier League because he's very good. 6:30 Iraola on Szoboszlai at right-back: "I haven't found any situations where any player has said: 'I don't want to play here'. Everyone has the right attitude. I pretty much know everyone's preferred positions but everyone is willing to help." 7:40 On team reaction going behind: Reaction is a positive sign, but I focus on us going ahead first. We've been losing something like 90% of the season. If you are winning then it is different. The focus is on starting stronger in games, don't wait until the first goal to be more aggressive. We need to start stronger as it gets easier if you are controlling the result. 9:00 Iraola on whether Barcola could start on Friday v Ipswich: “I see him in a good place. He has trained for us, it's true he hasn't had minutes in pre-season. He has been training and it's a decision we have to make. But we have to consider he hasn't had minutes in pre-season games.” 10:33 Injury updates: Joe Gomez set to return to training next week, Andoni Iraola confirms. Giovanni Leoni will return to training during the September international break. 11:45 On Rio: Sometimes it's a matter of the connections they may around them. We trust the wingers we have, they will all get minutes.Rio looks already like a player in the Premier League because he's very good. 13:21 Conor there at right-back. That's why I value Dom at right-back as he can play there. Versatility in the player helps us go through the moments when we have injuries.In midfield we have good numbers. Now it's a matter of getting the right calls from myself. I'm finding now the best combinations 15:11 END @HaytersTV – Football Up Close.

Mike, Ali, and Beau continue to recap and react to the Atlanta Braves beating the Los Angeles Dodgers 6-5 at home last night in game two of their three game series thanks to a pinch hit walk-off RBI single by shortstop Ha-Seong Kim in the bottom of the ninth inning, and explain why they think Braves shortstop and ultimate utility player Mauricio Dubón batting in the clean up spot gives the Braves line up some good versatility.

Chris Russell welcomes Mitch Tischler to the show to discuss Josh Conerly Jr. getting extra reps at different positions and what that could mean for the Commanders' offensive line. The big question of the day: Why wait until the regular season to fix your roster needs? Washington has opportunities right now to address its weaknesses—so why not get ahead of them before the games start counting?

Big Sal sits down with the latest closed practice notes and gets excited about the Packers defensive line playing multiple techniques on the same snap. He explains how that flexibility keeps the whole front fresh, reduces substitutions, and sets the team up for success while Micah Parsons works his way back into the lineup.

Do you need Straight Talk about Cosmetic Surgery? Email me...Hyaluronic acid fillers are now as popular as Botox!  Over 9 million people had filler injected last year.  Hyaluronic acid can fill wrinkles and deep folds, define lip and jaw borders, fill temples and plump earlobes,lips and chins and rejuvenate aging hands.  The problem with filler is not what board certified artistic plastic surgeons do with it, but the fact that nurses, physician assistants, dentists, and non plastic surgeons can "certify" in under 2 hours!  It's no wonder there are so many terrible results.  On this show, we discuss Dr. Perry's artistic technique of wrinkle filler...  We also play Dr. Perry's interview with Curtis Sliwa and Larry Mendte.

Eggs! They can bought from anyone, including idolators, without concern that they came via a nevilah or treyfa. The eggs themselves are identifiable as coming from a kosher species (or not) -- in terms of the shape of the egg itself, and more other ways of distinguishing one from another. But not if the egg itself is mixed. Also, if eggs are cooked together -- kosher and non-kosher -- the kosher eggs are still allowed. Unfertilized eggs are also acceptable, even if the hen sat on the egg for a long time. A droplet of blood on the egg won't invalidate it either - as long as you discard that droplet of blood. But if the blood was in the yolk area of the egg, then the entirety needs to be discarded.

On this episode of The Bandwich Tapes, I sit down with the extraordinary Wendy Moten for a conversation about longevity, versatility, professionalism, and the many different ways a singer can build a meaningful life in music. Wendy has one of those careers that musicians know and revere: a major-label artist in the 1990s, a world-class touring vocalist, a sought-after session singer, a member of the Grammy-winning Time Jumpers, a regular performer on the Grand Ole Opry, and, more recently, a powerful presence for a new generation of listeners through The Voice. What struck me most in this conversation is how clearly she understands her craft, her purpose, and the discipline required to sustain both.We begin by talking about the busy season she is in now, balancing solo work, sessions, weekly performances with the Time Jumpers, and another major tour with Vince Gill. Wendy shares the story of how Vince first called her out of the blue after her run with Martina McBride had ended, and how that invitation opened an entirely new chapter in her career. From there, we get into what she calls her “version of country music,” and how she found it not by imitating the genre, but by studying its history, listening closely, and finding an authentic way to bring herself into the tradition.One of my favorite parts of the conversation centers on harmony singing and what it really means to support another artist. Wendy talks beautifully about what she learned during 15 years as Julio Iglesias's duet partner, including how to listen, how to match breath and phrasing, how to stay out of the way, and how to make someone else sound even better. She says she was “getting paid for self-control,” which is one of the best descriptions of professional background singing I have ever heard. That whole section of the conversation is full of insight for anyone who cares about what it means to serve the music at a very high level.We also talk about church, family, and the support system that made her life in music possible. Wendy reflects on growing up in Memphis, singing in church, and learning early how to stand in front of people, even when she was shy and uncomfortable. She shares how much her parents sacrificed to create opportunities for her and her siblings, and how much those sacrifices still mean to her now. We also spend time talking about her Grand Ole Opry appearances, including the emotion of making her Opry debut without her parents there to see it, and the significance of standing on that stage as a Black woman in a space where history has not always made room for everyone.Along the way, we get into her years at EMI, the pressure to be shaped into whatever version of success the label wanted at the time, and the freedom she eventually found by building a career outside the usual boxes. Wendy talks openly about not needing fame in the conventional sense, about loving the role of underdog, and about continuing to surprise people. This is a conversation about singing, certainly, but also about resilience, humility, excellence, and how to remain generous and grounded across four decades in music.Key TakeawaysWendy Moten reflects on building a career across pop, country, jazz, Americana, sessions, television, and touring without being confined to one lane.She shares how 15 years with Julio Iglesias taught her phrasing, breath, dynamics, communication, and the art of listening more deeply.Wendy talks about singing with Vince Gill and the Time Jumpers, and how she developed her own authentic relationship to country music.She offers a sharp and memorable perspective on background vocals: great harmony singing requires self-control, consistency, and leaving your ego at home.The conversation explores how the church shaped her confidence, artistry, and ability to recover from mistakes in front of an audience.Wendy also reflects on The Voice, why she chose to do it, and how it introduced her to a new audience without diminishing everything that came before it.We discuss the Grand Ole Opry, the emotional weight of her debut, and the significance of taking up space in a tradition that has not always been inclusive.Music from the EpisodeOde to Billy Joe - Wendy MotenDon't Touch Me - Wendy MotenDriving Nails in My Coffin - Wendy MotenFaithless Love - Wendy Moten (with Vince Gill)About the PodcastThe Bandwich Tapes is a podcast where I sit down with musicians, singers, songwriters, producers, and creative people for thoughtful conversations about craft, career, collaboration, and the life experiences that shape the music.

There's a version of deer hunting where you show up every fall, do roughly what you did last year, and hope things go differently. A lot of hunters live there. I've lived there. And for a long time I didn't even realize it was a choice. That's really what this conversation came down to. Chad and I kept circling back to this idea of hunting as a craft versus hunting as a habit. And the more we talked, the more I realized how easy it is to confuse the two. You can put in a lot of hours and still not be getting better. Hours aren't the same as learning. The hunters who actually improve year over year aren't necessarily the ones hunting more. They're the ones who are honest with themselves about what went wrong. Not in a self-critical spiral, but in a practical, diagnostic way. What did I do? What did the deer do? What does that tell me? Most of us are pretty good at remembering our kills. We're not nearly as good at sitting with our failures long enough to learn something from them. We talked a lot about fundamentals, and I think that word gets watered down. Fundamentals aren't just "play the wind." They're the boring, repeatable decisions you make whether you feel like it or not. Entry routes. Timing. Pressure management. Knowing when to sit and when to stay home. None of it is complicated. It just requires discipline on days when discipline is inconvenient. Versatility came up too. There's a tendency to find something that worked once and lean on it forever. A stand location, a hunting style, a strategy. But the conditions change. The deer change. The hunters who keep filling tags are the ones willing to adapt, not the ones most loyal to what used to work. What I kept coming back to after this conversation was how much of consistent success is just self-awareness. Knowing your tendencies. Recognizing when you're making a decision out of impatience versus out of sound reasoning. That's not a hunting skill exactly. But it might be the skill that unlocks all the others.

This episode of The Other Side of the Bell, featuring historical, classical and jazz trumpeter Brian Shaw, is brought to you by Bob Reeves Brass. This episode also appears as a video episode on our YouTube channel, you can find it here: "Brian Shaw Trumpet Interview" And, find the expanded show notes, transcript and more photos here --- Whether it's big band jazz, classical baroque, or any number of styles in between, Brian Shaw's trumpet career is a reflection of the word, "versatility." Brian is the type of musician who, when having trouble deciding whether to major in classical or jazz, decided to simply do both! Hence a double major in jazz studies and classical performance, which yes, did result in him having to do two senior recitals. But Brian embraced the challenge, just as he did in finishing his doctorate in one year instead of three, so that he would have more time to pursue all the various avenues he wanted to explore. Today, Brian pursues teaching, writing, performance, arrangement and more from his home base near Seattle, WA. And, as you'll know from our recent "Kenny Wheeler Special," he and Nick Smart recently collaborated on a biography of inspirational trumpeter Kenny Wheeler, Song For Someone: The Musical Life of Kenny Wheeler, which added published author to Brian's resume as well. Brian joins us today to talk about his early inspirations coming from a non-musical family in small town southern Illinois, to being the first in his family to attend college, taking control of your musical education, and the various stops and projects he's pursued along his trailblazing journey. About Brian Shaw: Brian Shaw is an active performer, arranger, and educator known for his versatility. He is one of the few trumpet players in the world equally comfortable in early music, orchestral, jazz, and commercial settings on modern and period instruments, and enjoys an international performing career as a modern and historical trumpet soloist. He holds principal positions with the Dallas Winds, Santa Fe Pro Musica, Spire Baroque Orchestra. He is also a regular guest instructor of Historical Trumpet at the Eastman School of Music. From 2007-2021, he was Professor of Trumpet and Jazz Studies at Louisiana State University and was Principal Trumpet of the Baton Rouge (Louisiana) Symphony from 2014-2021. Brian has also served as guest Principal Trumpet of the Oregon Symphony, Kansas City Symphony, St. Louis Symphony, and Pacific Northwest Ballet Orchestra (US). A noted Baroque trumpet player, Shaw's 2008 recording Virtuoso Concertos for Clarino includes some of the most difficult pieces ever written for the instrument. Early Music America observed: "Shaw's tone is beautiful, and his playing unfailingly musical… His is a voice that will make a major mark on Baroque trumpet playing." His critically-acclaimed 2014 solo trumpet recording redshift was accompanied by the Dallas Wind Symphony and conductor Jerry Junkin. Brian has also released a collaborative album of classic recital pieces with pianist Jan Grimes called Sonatas and Fantasies: A Century of Standards for Trumpet and Piano, and has just completed another recording project called Virtuosic Versatility, outlining the history of the trumpet, from early music to modern jazz.  As a jazz musician, Brian plays solo and lead trumpet professionally in the Seattle area and leads a big band in Baton Rouge every December, which released a holiday-themed album titled Christmas at the Manship! in 2017.
