This is an excerpt from an upcoming episode of StageCraft on WERA-LP 96.7 FM and on WERA.FM. 7pm EST on Feb 23 2022. Singer/songwriter and Youth Empowerment Coach Emma G has been using the power of music to empower, uplift and motivate audiences worldwide her entire life. A favorite musician of the Washington Post, Washingtonian Magazine and Thrive Global: the New Zealand-born singer/songwriter has expanded her mission of saving the world one song at a time to incorporate her history as an award-winning youth-worker, launching YES Youth Coaching. Youth Empowerment through Songwriting coaching is a completely new approach to youth work: combining Emma G's history as a teacher, lecturer, YMCA youth coordinator and – of course – an award-winning musician. Music is an incredibly effective tool for alchemy: helping audiences and teen songwriters alike overcome struggles, trauma, stress and overwhelm with songs of overcoming, resilience, self-love and stepping into one's power. Born with a rare neurological condition called hydrocephalus, Emma G has used music to recover from multiple traumas, including ten brain surgeries, by writing and singing her truth, sharing her experiences, and turning her lessons into blessings. With a unique style that marries the styles of pop, soulful ballads, and a gritty rock edge, Emma G's style appeals to a hugely diverse audience worldwide.

https://bensenses.bandcamp.com/ Ben Senses is a post-hardcore artist from Washington, D.C. It is the project of local artist Cameron Pulley, who has been performing live original music since 2009. Ben Senses is part of a new generation of Washington, D.C. post-hardcore artists, inspired by the ethos of 1985's Revolution Summer, but asserting themselves with their own sound and storytelling. We talk with him about his experiences in the St. Louis scene in comparison to the D.C. scene, the good and the bad of "siloing" within a community and with your listening habits and we discuss what it takes to be open to special moments and how frequently they can happen. Our musical bed provided by the incomparable Fat Kneel and all of this is made possible by our partner in crime, WERA-LP 96.7 FM. Ben Senses has released two acoustic EP's available on Bandcamp; including the brand new release "Where We Stand" an acoustic live album with two tracks featured in this episode.
Recorded pre-pandemic. We have a great chat with Ruth about finding your voice, the importance of bombing on stage, working with a boisterous crowd and how to deal with a lover who has a request you aren't super excited about. Listen to learn the benefits of micro-dosing folic acid and wonder to yourself what that buzzer sound was all about. As always our sensational musical bed is provided by the devastatingly talented Fat Kneel and Joshua Rich delivers onto us his usual Snippets of Wisdom segment. We do appreciate your listens but we would love for you to share this episode as well. Special thanks to WERA-LP 96.7 FM and the crew there making it work. Antonio, Jackie, Lauree and Lynn. We love you! Photo model is Morganna Queen of Bethesda.
Don't stay home this time! Recorded pre-pandemic, Eric tells us the best part about an open mic. The atmosphere he tries to cultivate there, his philosophy of improvement and how it influences his music, life and beer brewing; and we drink a fair amount of beer. Come listen to us get loose and say some things...lovely, silly, controversial and maybe truthful things. Well always truthful. Listen to us talk about the downfall of America in some kind of prescient moment, long before the pandemic took hold here in the states. As always we thank the sorcerer of mad ass beats Fat Kneel for providing our sound bed, Joshua Rich for another of his Snippets of Wisdom segments and of course the mighty WERA-LP 96.7 FM who makes this all possible. Listen for our shout outs in this episode from Don Z himself to our beloved MixCloud Select subscribers. What is the crux of the matter? What do music teachers need to do more of? Make sure to listen all the way to the end. Love you all.
For this episode I am being interviewed by my close friend and fellow Grace junkie/radio show host Ed Melick on his show, called Grace in 30. For the first time, I wanted to share some of my personal journey on the show about my revelation of God's grace and rest and how that intersected the supernatural with the practical in my own life. Ed and I discuss my own journey from crashing a helicopter in 2007 and the amazing journey of my return as the former prodigal son to our Heavenly Father's loving arms. Highlights include me crashing a $30 million Navy helicopter and promptly being rewarded supernaturally with an incredible (and highly competitive) set of orders I definitely didn't deserve to the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California where the Navy paid me on full-time active duty to get my MBA. Talk about God's amazing grace superabounding my sin and failure! We also talk about my seemingly illogical decision to leave my budding real estate practice in the DC area to wait on God indefinitely for him to "drop something in my lap". That step of faith led to an opportunity to work for a tech startup in the beautiful Vail, Colorado area along with a great ministry opportunity and essentially my own wing of a $14 million mansion for $500 per month, tax-free. By the way, that was in an area that USA Today ranked at the time as the most unaffordable place to live in the country! I couldn't even make this stuff up if I tried...but that's where God's grace and rest lead to the bottom-line results we always talk about on the show. Check out Ed Melick and Sal D'Itri's radio show "Grace in 30". You can listen to it online at www.gracein30.com; live on the radio every Wednesday at 6PM Eastern time in the Washington, DC Metro area on WERA-LP, Arlington, 96.7 FM; as well as on iTunes, Stitcher, and other social media and podcast platforms.

Bunmi Akinnusotu, producer and host of "What In The World?" - also of WERA-LP 96.7FM - explores what curiosity brings to world affairs. We ponder the power of courage in face of the unknown and why Americans seem so reluctant to learn about others. A fresh take on paying attention to the world around us. Join us next time when entrepreneur, engineer and county activist Vivek Patil talks about building bridges and bringing curiosity to community conversations.
Two years ago, tonight’s guest, Brandon Charles, packed all his stuff in a duffle bag, boarded a Greyhound bus on a snowy evening, and traveled overnight from Pittsburgh to DC. When he arrived, he hopped on the metro – something he had never done before – and then took a cab to his temporary new home. What makes this story compelling is that Brandon was born blind, and his bold move followed a string of challenges he had experienced over several years. The move turned out to be a major turning point in his life and a great thing for Arlington residents. Brandon has since begun producing and hosting the Breaking Boundaries program on WERA-LP, an advocacy program for the disabled. The show airs on Mondays at 4:00 p.m. on 96.7 FM and is in its second year. Brandon joins us to share his story of self-discovery and higher purpose, and to challenge us in how we see, interact with, and serve the disabled.
It all started with a joke between co-workers: “We should host a radio show.” Five years later, lighthearted banter became a reality for Ed Melick, a member of Grace Community Church in Arlington, and Sal D'Itri, a parishioner at St. Ann Church in Arlington, as they launched their own radio show, “Grace in 30.” The half-hour show, at WERA-LP 96.7 FM, in Arlington, launched in May 2016.
