This is Play That Rock n' Roll's special FULL TEAM COVERAGE of the announcement stating that WARREN ZEVON is a 2025 inductee for the ROCK & ROLL HALL OF FAME! This roundtable discussion features Chad Kushins (author of NOTHING'S BAD LUCK: The Lives of Warren Zevon), former radio host Anita Gevinson (who wrote about her relationship with Warren in her book, YOU TURN ME ON, I'M A RADIO), and photographer George Gruel (who wrote about his time as Warren's best friend and road manager in his book LAWYERS, GUNS, & PHOTOS). In this episode, we celebrate the news of Warren being inducted and discuss WHY he is deserving of this honor. Chad gives some backstory about why it took so long for Warren to be inducted, while Anita and George tell some hysterical stories about him. Anita also shares her memories of singer/songwriter (and Warren's friend) Jill Sobule, who tragically passed away recently. Finally, we built an "entry point" playlist of Warren Zevon songs for those who are new to his catalog or perhaps are only familiar with "Werewolves of London".

For this week's Bait and Switch Music episode, we asked one of our guests to pick out the album to review. So we handed over the reins to our musical expert Joe Kay to lead the conversation about his album pick, Sentimental Hygiene from Warren Zevon! We brought in another local music expert and friend of the show, Scott Cvecko to give us his thoughts as well. Before diving into our review, Joe gave us some background on Warren Zevon's career including his collaboration with many famous musicians, and our panel members share their prior knowledge of Zevon and his work. We move on to take a look at the album itself, noting things like musical style, influences, its diverse musical elements, the metaphorical and storytelling lyrics etc. Of course we chime in with the songs that worked for us as well as our the ones that didn't. And it wouldn't be complete without our top picks from the album. All this and much, much more! Enjoy!

On this episode of Remainders we watch the 2002 movie Insomnia. The only movie in Christoher Nolan's filmography in which he doesn't have a writing credit, Insomnia has always felt like an outlier in the director's career. It's most notable aspect was Robin Williams and his villainous role as Finch, a first for Williams. Playing opposite the most strung out possible version of Al Pacino, we see if this thriller holds up.Other topics include Nolan's ranking, follow-up on our Mad Max Fury Road episode, fake reviews for Insomnia, Black Mirror, Andor and Star Wars, the passing of the alligator from Happy Gilmore, Hillary Swank, more Pacino marathon's coming up, and whether or not Nicky Katt has the best line in any Nolan movie.Songs of the WeekThe Swimming Song by Loudon Wainwright IIIIf I Could Only Fly by Blaze FoleyRemainders Jukebox PlaylistWebsiteFacebookInstagramYouTubeTwitter

In this week's episode of Friends Talking Nerdy, Professor Aubrey and Tim the Nerd dive deep into the just-announced 2025 Class of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. With their usual mix of thoughtful analysis, historical insight, and a healthy dose of nerdy passion, the duo breaks down the list of official inductees and shares their thoughts on what each artist or contributor brings to the legacy of rock and popular music.The conversation kicks off with a celebration of long-overdue recognition, as they discuss the inclusion of Bad Company, Joe Cocker, and the energetic pioneer Chubby Checker. They reflect on the vocal power and emotional resonance of Cocker's performances, the timeless grooves of Bad Company, and Checker's role in shaping early rock dance culture.Next up, they shift to iconic voices and game-changers of the '80s and '90s. Cyndi Lauper and Salt N Pepa spark discussion on pop's evolution and hip-hop's expanding influence on the Rock Hall. OutKast's induction offers a springboard into the genre-defying brilliance of André 3000 and Big Boi, while Soundgarden's inclusion brings a reflective moment on grunge, Chris Cornell's legacy, and the band's impact on alternative rock.The duo also delves into the raw garage rock revivalism of The White Stripes and the poetic lyricism of cult-favorite Warren Zevon, dissecting how both acts carved unique paths in music history. Their conversation highlights how the Hall is slowly broadening its definition of rock — and why that matters.Beyond the performers, Professor Aubrey and Tim celebrate the often unsung heroes of music with the inductions of Thom Bell, Nicky Hopkins, Carol Kaye, and Lenny Waronker. From Bell's lush Philadelphia soul arrangements to Kaye's legendary bass lines, they shine a spotlight on the behind-the-scenes talent that shaped the sound of generations.To close out the episode, the hosts revisit their predictions from Episode 401, where they each chose who they believed should be inducted this year. With the full 2025 class revealed, the friendly rivalry comes to a head as they tally up their correct picks. Who had the better crystal ball?

pWotD Episode 2922: Jill Sobule Welcome to Popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 207,999 views on Friday, 2 May 2025 our article of the day is Jill Sobule.Jill Sobule ( SOH-bee-ull; January 16, 1959 – May 1, 2025) was an American singer-songwriter best known for the 1995 single "I Kissed a Girl", and "Supermodel" from the soundtrack of the 1995 film Clueless. Her folk-inflected compositions alternate between ironic, story-driven character studies and emotive ballads, a duality reminiscent of such 1970s American songwriters as Warren Zevon, Harry Nilsson, Loudon Wainwright III, Harry Chapin, and Randy Newman. Autobiographical elements, including Sobule's Jewish heritage and her adolescent battles with anorexia and depression, frequently occurred in Sobule's writing.In 2009, Sobule released California Years, an album funded entirely by fan donations, making her an early pioneer of crowdfunding.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:13 UTC on Saturday, 3 May 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Jill Sobule on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm standard Aditi.

On this episode we celebrate the 10th anniversary of Mad Max: Fury Road - Black and Chrome Edition. Often considered the greatest action film of all time, Fury Road reintroduced the world to Max, this time played by Tom Hardy, as he teams up with Furiosa to take on the dystopian warlord Immortan Joe. George Miller's stated intention was to make a movie that was one long chase, and as elemental and close to a silent film as possible. The Black and Chrome Edition brings this vision even closer.Other topics include Charlize Theron, George Miller's filmography and how Babe: Pig in the City fits in, America's obsession with celebrity culture, Warren Zevon's induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Riot Fest, and whether or not we should cover The Beaver with Mel Gibson on the podcast.Songs of the WeekLet Them Eat War by Bad ReligionKurt Kobain by ProofBrothers In Arms by Junkie XLRemainders Jukebox PlaylistWebsiteFacebookInstagramYouTubeTwitter

The “Novelty” song has deep roots in popular culture. Masters of the form, like Weird Al Yankovic, Warren Zevon, Tom Lehrer, Spike Jones, and Allen Sherman have illuminated our consciousness and tickled our sense of the absurd. How much WAS that doggie in the window?…., WTF is Marzy dotes and dozy dotes about?…,  They're coming to take me away, Haha…(that one actually scared me). Probably each of us can recall from childhood some goofy ditty that either made you feel smarter, or got stuck inside your head like RFK's brain worm. Let's give thanks to Doctor Demento for archiving and disseminating many of these gems for future generations, and my introduction to Larry Groce's Junk Food Junkie came from one of his collections. Jerry Blavat's One More Time, Back to School may not demonstrate the same amount of cleverness, but its delivered lustily by one of the premier DJs of his time. LARRY GROCEJunk Food Junkie comes from 1975, and is perfectly in key with today's anti-woke sentiments. But, Mr. Groce delivers his mockery with such gentleness and good humor that it creates a universal warmth devoid of malice. Yes, he intimates, you can try to be upright and health conscientious, but the reptilian brain in all of us needs to be satisfied - even if it has to happen under cover of darkness.  Hypocrisy is the target here, and Mr. Groce, cast as the titular shlemiel, puts himself first in line for ridicule. JERRY BLAVATJerry Blavat's “Horatio Alger” story reads like a Martin Scorsese screenplay. His colorful bio, recounting his journey from son of a Philly bookmaker, valet to Don Rickles, mob-connected DJ and club owner, to broadcasting Hall of Fame icon, could be the stuff of a Netflix series. Known as “the Big Boss with the Hot Sauce,” and “the Geater with the Heater,” Jerry swaggered through his bigger than life life like a toreador. But, lest we forget - it was always his love of those Philadelphian musical goodies - that made him a beloved home town super hero. 1965's One More Time Back to School, on the Cameo Parkway label, is an fascinating glimpse into his inexhaustible energy. It's delightfully sadistic as the singer declares the end of vacation time fun. Not only that, there is something in the edgy cacophony of its production, with the clanging cowbells, that evokes that end of summer feeling. 

This week we look at Italy, Election in Canada, Australian Abortion; the retirement of Klaus Schwab; Terrorists kill Tourists in Kashmir; Is Katy Perry an Astronaut?  Are Irish hairdressers the key to climate change?  Ed Miliband's Hypocrisy; Teen Vogue on being Ecosexual; Is Have I Got News For You - funny?   The IMF forecast for global economy; The Minecraft Music; Reading Chickens; the death of the Pope; Allah Sees Everything - including how you vote in the UK; Maggie Chapman and Trans Hysteria;  Keir Starmer on Women - Before and After;  Banks Bullying Mumsnet; Brigend Council promotes perversion to school children; Two tier justice in the UK - Bradford and the Met Police; Catholic Church grows in France; Feedback and Final Word; Fraser Nelson on Religion in the UK;  with music from Blue Oyster Cult, Verdi, Elton John, the Barbershop Quartet, Jack Black, Warren Zevon, and the All Souls Orchestra. 

In this special episode of VRP Rocks, guitarist, singer, songwriter and producer Steve Postell joins Paul Stephenson to talk about his incredible musical journey. From his deep personal and creative connection with David Crosby to his role in the powerhouse band The Immediate Family, Steve shares stories, insights and reflections from a remarkable career. We dive into his emotional tribute project, Our House: The Music of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young by Friends, a live show honoring the legacy of CSNY with an all-star lineup of musicians. Steve opens up about the show's origins, the challenges of continuing Crosby's legacy after his passing, and how the songs of CSNY resonate even more today. Plus, Steve talks about his new solo album, Walking Through These Blues, featuring guests like David Crosby, Becca Bramlett, and Alphonso Johnson. He also discusses the upcoming Immediate Family project – a collection of classic hits they originally helped create with artists like Don Henley, Jackson Browne, and Warren Zevon. Whether you're a fan of CSNY, The Immediate Family, or just great songwriting and musicianship, this is an episode not to miss.

Today on another edition of the Rarified Heir Podcast, we are Jason Everly, son of Phil Everly of the famed Everly Brothers. We connected with Jason after listening to his radio show on Sirius XM satellite radio on the Fifties Gold channel. It sparked a memory that Jason and host Josh Mills had attended the same middle school together at the Oakwood School in Los Angeles going back to the Carter administration. After rummaging around and finding a school yearbook, we emailed Jason with a photo of himself in 7th grade, asked him to be on the podcast and he graciously accepted. We covered a lot of topics on this episode, from intimidating science teachers to the time Paul Simon called Jason up to find out the best way to approach his dad for potential Simon and Garfunkel / Everly Brothers tour in the nineties. We also discussed the roots of the Everly Brothers, how Phil was a down-to-earth dad who spent a lot of time bonding with his son playing made up games and drawing together. We discussed the how his father and uncle essentially created a genre that became known as country-rock, how Phil helped his friend & arranger Warren Zevon title one of his biggest hits, the time Paul McCartney told Billy Joel that Phil Everly was his musical hero and much more. We also discussed the Everly Brothers infamous split, a famous cousin who was on a wildly popular television show in the 1970s, the evolution of radio performers Little Donnie and Baby Boy Phil, the hard scrabbled life the boys led until they found fame and fortune, Graham Nash, Kitty Wells, which song of the Brothers gets licensed the most, Jason's acting career and much more. What's our favorite part?  When Jason mixed up our science teacher Sol Rubenstein with guitarist Saul Hudson aka Slash from Guns-n-Roses. Your favorite part is coming up next on this episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast. Everyone has a story.

We're long-time admirers of Denny Tedesco's “Wrecking Crew” doc which celebrated the studio musicians of 60s Hollywood, the unseen hands who can be heard on all those Beach Boys and Spector hits. Now he's done something similar with the musicians who were so much part of the success of James Taylor, Carole King and Warren Zevon in the next decade in “The Immediate Family”. We're delighted to have been able to organise a screening of the film at The Art House in Crouch End after which he spoke to David Hepworth about what it was like to grow up married to the music business, how the culture of session players changed over the years, what has kept the likes of Leland Sklar, Danny Kortchmar, Waddy Wachtel and Russ Kunkel at the top of their game for fifty years and whether anybody else is still keeping their craft alive.

Episode 036: War. What is it good for? According to this episode - some pretty powerful music. Join Geoff, Russ, and Dave as they explore the darker side of conflict through an explosive mix of songs that tackle everything from military recruitment and terrorism to devastation and the manipulation of young soldiers. From The Clash's historical perspective to Warren Zevon's mercenary tales, The Cranberries' protest anthem to Rise Against's gut-wrenching veteran story, and from Primus's military satire to NOFX's irreverent take on extremism—we're covering all fronts of war through music. Plus, stick around to hear possibly the most inappropriate war story ever told to a seven-year-old.   Apple Podcasts Instagram Spotify Playlist Official Site Listener Listens - Die Spitz - Instagram Youtube - Warren Zevon's Last Performance

Maggie speaks with Willie Nelson's youngest son Micah Nelson also known as "Particle Kid" about his latest collaboration with his Father. Willie's 76th studio album and 153rd album overall as he celebrates his 91st year.  Willie Nelson is now in his 7th decade as a songwriter, performer and recording artist, but one of his most underrated talents is song interpretation. Over his career he has tackled songs from across the world of music, making each his own. Willie turns his gaze to a collection of songs by rock legends, idiosyncratic singer songwriters, alt-rock heroes, and indie folk artists. The result is a gorgeously cohesive rumination on loss, love, and world-weary hope, perfectly complemented by spare and spooky musical production. Lovingly curated and produced by his son Micah Nelson, Last Leaf On The Tree finds Willie covering songs from moody indie rock (Beck), psych alt-pop (The Flaming Lips) and punk-informed folk (Sunny War, Micah's Particle Kid) to thought-provoking soul jazz (Nina Simone) and lesser-known gems from legends like Tom Waits, Neil Young, Keith Richards, and Warren Zevon. In addition, the album features new takes on one of Willie's oldest songs (“The Ghost” from 1962) plus a new one penned with Micah (“The Color Of Sound”) that joins Willie's collection of Zen-soaked classics. In addition to producing, Micah Nelson plays many of the instruments and even designed the album cover. He is joined by a host of celebrated musicians plus guest spots from legendary producer and musician Daniel Lanois, John Densmore of The Doors and harmonica master Mickey Raphael, who has played alongside Willie for over 50 years.Source: https://legacyrecordings.medium.com/willie-nelson-the-last-leaf-on-the-tree-d94188f65739Source: https://www.sonymusic.com/legacy/legacy-recordings-releases-willie-nelson-last-leaf-on-the-tree-track/Source: https://willienelson.com/Host Maggie LePique, a radio veteran since the 1980's at NPR in Kansas City Mo.

Warren Zevon - "The French Inhaler": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wqzZQdzx-xIGood Morning Patreon: Patreon.com/ChrisCrofton

Join us for an intimate dive into two Warren Zevon albums - 'Life'll Kill Ya' (2000) and 'My Ride's Here' (2002). In this third episode of a three part tribute to Warren Zevon, LEGENDS: Podcast by All Day Vinyl and host Scott Dudelson take you on an journey deep into two albums that showcase Zevon's unflinching wit, deep introspection, and fearless exploration of life, death, and everything in between. To peel back the layers of these remarkable records, we are joined by two of Zevon's closest collaborators: Jorge Calderón, his trusted lifetime co-writer and multi-instrumentalist, and Noah Scot Snyder, the engineer and mixer who helped bring 'My Ride's Here' to life. Together, they share personal insights, untold stories, and a wealth of behind-the-scenes moments that bring Zevon's genius into sharp focus. What You'll Discover in This Episode: A Deep Dive into the Creative Process: Learn how songs like “Porcelain Monkey” emerged from everyday conversations and vivid storytelling. Jorge shares how a Graceland postcard sparked the song's haunting narrative about Elvis Presley. Zevon's Evolving Career: Explore how 'Life'll Kill Ya' marked Zevon's return after years of struggling for a record deal, with much of the album being self-recorded in his home studio, aptly named Anatomy of a Headache. Dark Humor Meets Mortality: Hear the story behind “My Shit's F***ed Up,” a raw and prophetic anthem written years before Zevon's cancer diagnosis, as well as the poignant “Don't Let Us Get Sick." Collaborating with Legends: We dive into Zevon's experience co-writing with literary giants like Hunter S. Thompson and Paul Muldoon, and how that experience carved the path into Zevon's final album "The Wind." The Practical Realities of Creativity: Noah Scot Snyder reflects on working with a meticulous artist who pushed the limits of early digital recording technology while mentoring a young engineer in the process. The Lost Tapes: The pair reveal that the Master tapes for 'Life'll Kill Ya' are lost and only because of Zevon & Snyder's foresight were the tapes for his follow up album "The Wind" preserved & stored properly. Why This Episode Matters: 'Life'll Kill Ya' and 'My Ride's Here' represent two of Zevon's most introspective and uncompromising works, created during a period of significant personal and professional transformation. Through the anecdotes, humor, and heartfelt reflections of those who knew him best, this episode offers an intimate portrait of a man who refused to compromise his artistic vision. Whether you're a longtime fan or new to Warren Zevon's music, this conversation sheds light on the creative genius and enduring legacy of one of rock's most distinctive voices.   This is the third part of a three part tribute to Zevon, check my channel for the other two episodes featuring amazing interviews with Zevon's closest collaborators including Jorge Calderón, Waddy Wachtel, Noah Scot Snyder, Bob Glaub and guest host Shooter Jennings.

What happens when a legendary artist turns his final days into one of the most celebrated albums of all time? In this gripping oral history of Warren Zevon's Grammy-winning swan song, The Wind, we unravel the stories behind the music, the heartbreak, and the triumph. Featuring exclusive insights from Jorge Calderón, Warren's lifelong collaborator and The Wind co-producer, and Noah Scot-Snyder, the album's co-producer, engineer and mixer, this episode takes you behind the curtain of Zevon's bittersweet journey. Hear how Zevon defied the odds, transforming a terminal diagnosis into a creative explosion and how close the album came from not being completed. From emotional songwriting and recording sessions to unforgettable moments like Bruce Springsteen breaking an amplifier during his blistering guitar session. Discover how Ry Cooder, Don Henley, Joe Walsh, Jim Keltner, Emmylou Harris, and more rallied to honor Warren's legacy, creating an album that transcended time, grief, and circumstance. Jorge and Noah recount Warren's humor and vulnerability, like the night he decided to record "Knockin' on Heaven's Door" in Billy Bob Thornton's basement or Zevon's insistence on crafting "Keep Me In Your Heart," even when the pain felt insurmountable. You'll hear about the magic of “Rest of the Night,” a rowdy anthem with Tom Petty and Mike Campbell born from Zevon's last moments of levity, and the emotional toll the process took on those closest to him. This episode isn't just about music—it's about life, legacy, and the stories that make great art unforgettable. If you love music history, legendary collaborations, or just a raw, unfiltered look at the human spirit, this is a must-listen. Thank you very much to Bob Emrich and Tom Hatfield for their assistance recording this episode.

Welcome to the LEGENDS: Podcast by All Day Vinyl, hosted by Scott Dudelson. In this very special episode, we dive into the genius and madness of the great Warren Zevon via a dynamic roundtable reuniting three of his longtime collaborators - Waddy Wachtel, Jorge Calderón and Bob Glaub - and our guest co-host, avowed Zevon super fan producer/musician Shooter Jennings.  Part one of this three part tribute to Warren Zevon features a treasure trove of insights, anecdotes and wild tales across the decades that marked Zevon's legacy, from his time playing with The Everly Brothers in the early 1970's through the writing and recording of Mr. Bad Example in 1991. Bringing to life Zevon's Self Titled album (1976); Excitable Boy (1978); Bad Luck Streak in Dancing School (1980); and Mr. Bad Example (1991) our guests share incredible stories and intimate details of the recording, writing and creative process that add vibrant color to his remarkable body of work. In this episode Shooter Jennings and I host three former collaborators who reunite to reflect with humor and emotion on their making of this legendary catalog. The guests include Waddy Wachtel who produced and co-wrote on the albums Excitable Boy, The Envoy, Mr. Bad Example and whose distinctive guitar can be heard on these and other albums throughout Zevon's career; Jorge Calderón, one of Warrens closest friends and career long co-writers (Veracruz, Jungle Work, Keep Me In Your Heart) as well as the producer of Zevon's grammy winning final album - The Wind (which will be a focus of Part 2 in this series); and Bob Glaub, legendary touring and session bass player who can be heard all over Warrens Self Titled album, Excitable Boy, The Envoy and Mr. Bad Example. Co-hosting this episode is Grammy winning musician/producer Shooter Jennings, a Zevon super fan who in 2023 released a live Zevon covers album with his project the “Werewolves of Los Angeles” (check it out here: ffm.to/dozevon) Shooter and I delve into the untold stories of his Zevon's most iconic songs and reflect on his immense talent and unique personality. Warren Zevon is a musical icon who left an indelible mark on rock and roll.  Stay tuned for part 2 & 3 of the series which will focus on Life'll Kill Ya, My Ride's Here and The Wind featuring an in depth conversation with Jorge Calderón (producer and co-writer of The Wind) and Noah Scot Snyder (engineer on The Wind & My Ride's Here).

Spencer Thomas is a singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist based in Athens, Georgia. He also plays keys for the beloved cosmic jamericana touring band Futurebirds. His new record, The Joke of Life, is shot through with contributions from members of My Morning Jacket, Drive-By Truckers, Futurebirds annd — it's been getting a lot of play at the Lenker house. Listen above, scroll down to watch on YouTube.But for a few short texts, Spencer and I hadn't met until he pulled up in front in front of my joint in East Nashville. He'd had a long drive so we took a walk around the block to catch up, break the ice and enjoy the perfect fall weather. Once we started talking we didn't stop. It was almost incidental, turning the mics on.We riffed on his early and present influences — Warren Zevon's name is an appropriate drop here — as well as the reasoning behind his decision to move to Athens — Athens, Georgia — during the pandemic. When I asked Why not Nashville? we charged into a chapter on the plusses and minuses living in a talent hotspot. That he chose an independent incubation makes sense when you listen to his music. You can't make a record like The Joke of Life in Nashville.Even though I've lived here almost two decades, my own formative years as an artist were spent well away from commercial centers (shout out to Bellingham, Washington) — great for cultivating an individual voice, but maybe you sell more records (or streams I guess) the closer you snuggle up to the money teat.Whatever the metric, Spencer and I tend toward the being apart, which is probably why I enjoyed this conversation so much. There was a lot of dishing on favorite bands — Bruce Springsteen, Tom Petty, Dawes — and a thruline of mutual revelry in the joy of making art for its own sake.We got so carried away talking and listening that I nearly forgot to ask him to play my favorite song from his record, Little Gold. Glad to say we got it in there.Spencer is having a real artistic moment. You get the feeling that — after ten years of trying stuff, making up songs alone and with kindred, looking for his own orbit in the music of the spheres, he's finally hitting on something. Teetering on the fulcrum of his own invention. It felt good for me to catch him mid-stroke on an upward swing.On this day of thanks I want to thank YOU for being part of this Morse Code Community. Ours is a motley collective and I wouldn't have it any other way. I love you guys so much. As Big Tech and Big Money and Bigness in general continue their march on our little patch of sacred humanity, I'm here for you, the artist. I have been in love my whole life with grouchy authors, unknown poets, quiet folksingers, radiant actors, the horse whisperers of culture, all, these fringey wonders who prioritize self-expression over self. My purpose for Morse Code is to celebrate you, inspire you, encourage you to thrash around inside yourself and see what's going on in there. The guests on this show are doing it. You can too. Personally, whether I'm writing a song or a short story or making a film, I'm in the meaning business. And meaning isn't something you find, once and for all. You discover a little bit more, every day. But only if you try.If you get something out of the Morse Code Podcast, please like and subscribe on your favorite listening platform, follow us on IG, and if you have a sec, write us a five star review on apple podcasts. Anything you can do goes a long way to helping us bring this mission to more and more people. And if you'd like to become a paid subscriber, that would be wonderful too. Whatever you do, we'll keep showing up, week after week, to talk to these amazing talents and see what makes them glow so bright.I wish you all the wonder of being alive.
