Podcasts about The X Factor

Show notes provided by Joe PelusoAs enthusiastic fans of pop culture we may sometimes forget that there are real flesh and blood people who make Captain Kirk's heroics come to life on the printed page, between the glossy covers of our favorite comics, the small screens in our homes, and the large screens in the local cineplex. There are so many wonderful creative men and women whose greatest desire is to share their stories with an eager and faithful public. Recently one of these amazing creatives passed fromour midst, but he left a legacy of mythic narratives that thrilled and enriched the lives of pop culture fans for decades. Join your hosts James, Keith, Joe, and returning guest, Michael Jan Friedman for a warm and wonderful tribute to Peter David.   Novels, comics, screenplays, video games and  more, Peter was a consummate creator who took us to the farthest reaches of the galaxy, the deep, dark depths of the oceans, the psyche of a tortured man/monster's mind, and the mutant world of the misunderstood. Many of our Mint faithful are familiar with Mr. David's work on Star Trek, Aquaman, The Incredible Hulk, and X-Factor, but if you stay till the end of this episode you will learn so much more of the life and works of this "incredible" man as recounted by his close friend Michael Jan Friedman. Engaging stories of a "fan boy" who lived his dream.    And there are still a myriad of stories to tell in the pop cultureuniverse, but it's undeniable that Peter David's stories will forever shine like the brightest stars in this vast universe of wonder and awe.

** PLEASE SUBSCRIBE ** Featured in WYGYFF Episode 25: Singer-songwriter, producer, guitarist and drummer LeRoy Bell. With his famous uncle and Philly Sound hitmaker Thom Bell as a mentor, during the 1970s he wrote or co-wrote songs for Elton John, the Spinners, the O'Jays, the Temptations, Freda Payne, the Three Degrees, Teddy Pendergrass, Phyllis Hyman, Lou Rawls, Johnny Mathis and others. For John, he co-wrote the hit, “Mama Can't Buy You Love.”  He was also one-half of the duo Bell and James, which released three albums and notched the funky dance hit, “Livin' It Up (Friday Night).” Along the way he shared the stage with superstars like B.B. King and Joe Cocker, released solo albums and led a group called LeRoy Bell and His Only Friends, and in 2011 was a standout on TV's The X Factor talent show. RECORDED MARCH 2025 Hosted by Scott "DR GX" Goldfine — musicologist, author of “Everything Is on the One: The First Guide of Funk” and creator/host of the popular TRUTH IN RHYTHM podcast — "Where'd You Get Your Funk From?" is the latest interview show brought to you by FUNKNSTUFF.NET. Where'd You Get Your Funk From (WYGYFF) is an open format video and audio podcast focusing on the here and now, with a broad range of creative and artistic guests sharing fascinating stories, experiences, and perspectives. WYGYFF is a welcoming avenue to newer and independent musical acts as well as established and still active musicians of any genre; authors; filmmakers; actors; artists; collectors and archivists; radio & podcast personalities; journalists; scholars; sound techs; promoters; photographers; and other creative people. A common thread, is the show's standard opening question: Where'd you get your funk from? This is much deeper than it may seem as the answer need not be strictly about funky music, as not everyone has found the funk. It could hit on whatever type of music touches their soul or pleasure centers. Additionally, the question extends beyond music. Paraphrasing George Clinton, funk is whatever it needs to be to get you over the hump. Thus, guests can explain where they got their grit, perseverance, inspiration, talent, creativity, character or other qualities that shaped them into who they are today. This serves as a springboard into candid, in-depth and engrossing conversations. LEGAL NOTICE: All video and audio content protected by copyright.

Alex Cohen talks about the Cubs starting pitching situation with Mike Soroka leaving his start early and why Colin Rea has been so valuable for the Cubs and during the later half of his career.

Long before he became famous as the sharp-tongued TV personality who launched the careers of pop stars, Simon Cowell was a rebellious teenager who dropped out of school and started his career in the mailroom at EMI. After a failed business left him nearly bankrupt, he found success by zigging where others zagged—initially by selling hit records based on TV shows like Power Rangers and WrestleMania. Eventually Simon got behind the TV camera himself, where his brutally honest feedback on shows like American Idol and The X Factor made him a household name. Today, through his company Syco Entertainment, Simon continues to discover new talent. His latest challenge: an upcoming Netflix show where he'll try to build a boy band from scratch.This episode was produced by Josh Lash, and edited by Neva Grant, with research by Iman Maani.

Shoot us a Text.Episode #1112: Carvana's stock hits jaw-dropping highs while negative equity haunts car buyers. At the same time, a new report says Gen X may quietly be the most powerful consumer group of the next decade.Show Notes with links:What once seemed like a dying online used‑car startup has roared back. Carvana's share price hit an all‑time high in late July 2025—up over 10,000% from the December 2022 bottom—while short-sellers suffered nearly $7.42 billion in losses.Q2 2025 sales hit $4.84 billion, up 42% year-over-year. Retail units sold jumped 41% to 143,280; wholesale units rose 44.5% to 72,770.Net income surged to $308 million with record profit margins across the board.Traditional peers have seen modest stock gains by comparison — AutoNation is up about 80% and Lithia around 44% — with CarMax actually down roughly 7% in the same period.CEO Ernie Garcia III called Carvana “the fastest‑growing and most profitable automotive retailer.”“This rally…is one of the most spectacular recoveries in modern market history,” said Dave Mazza, CEO of Roundhill Financial.A growing share of U.S. car buyers are finding themselves stuck in negative equity, with Edmunds reporting the average underwater loan balance at $6,754 in Q2 2025 — one of the highest levels seen in years.26.6% of new‑car trade‑ins were upside down, a four‑year high.Average negative equity climbed to $6,754, up $500 from 2024.Nearly one in three underwater trade‑ins carried $5,000–$10,000 in debt.The average monthly payment for these buyers hit $915 — $159 above the industry average.Edmunds' Ivan Drury warns: “Many are at risk of getting stuck in a cycle of debt that only grows harder to break over time.”While millennials and Gen Z grab headlines, new research shows Gen X — those born between 1965 and 1980 — may be the most influential consumer group of the next decade.Gen X is set to remain the world's highest-spending demographic through 2033.In 2025 alone, they're projected to drive $507B in food and beverage sales, $80B in beauty, and $42B in alcohol.Nearly 40% use AI assistants for shopping recommendations, defying “tech-averse” stereotypes.72% prefer name brands over private label, bucking the store-brand trend.“Gen Xers are the gatekeepers of trillions in spending, effectively serving as the CFOs of three generations,” said Wolfgang Fengler of World Data Lab.Join Paul J Daly and Kyle Mountsier every morning for the Automotive State of the Union podcast as they connect the dots across car dealerships, retail trends, emerging tech like AI, and cultural shifts—bringing clarity, speed, and people-first insight to automotive leaders navigating a rapidly changing industry.Get the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/

Welcome to the Financial Freedom & Wealth Trailblazers Podcast! In today's episode, we'll share practical tools, voice techniques, and mindset strategies to help you speak up, speak well, and own the room.Jimmy Cannon is a voice and public speaking coach who believes that your voice is your most powerful tool—whether you're speaking or singing. He emphasizes that the key difference lies not in the voice itself but in how it's shaped. This understanding led him to an early revelation: the techniques he used to help singers could be seamlessly applied to enhance speaking skills.Over the past decade, Jimmy has helped individuals from all walks of life—ranging from first-time public speakers to X Factor auditionees—develop their voices and achieve their goals. From improving vocal range and projection to overcoming performance anxiety, he has found the journey transformative and the results empowering.Today, he specializes in helping business leaders, entrepreneurs, and teams communicate with clarity, confidence, and presence. Through his Cannon Method, he focuses on three essential pillars:Voice: Mastering vocal techniques like projection, articulation, and resonance, ensuring words carry authority.Confidence: Building unshakeable self-assurance with proven strategies to overcome anxiety and stay focused under pressure.Presence: Commanding the room with engaging non-verbal communication—eye contact, posture, and energy that captivates an audience.Before coaching, Jimmy spent his career as a singer and saxophonist, performing alongside icons like Sir Tom Jones and Roger Taylor from Queen. Those years taught him the art of sustaining audience engagement through passion, precision, and vocal reliability.Now, he uses those same principles to help others optimize their vocal performance. Whether leading high-stakes meetings, delivering compelling presentations, or striving to communicate more confidently, Jimmy guides his clients to develop strong, impactful voices that amplify their messages.Connect with Jimmy Here: https://www.youtube.com/@jimmycannonvoicecoachhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/jimmycannon/jimmycannon.comGrab the freebie here: https://cut-through-communicator.scoreapp.com Warm Up: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1VyRcUAmanbNBB0EV8nARE4i7_zgh5yqB/view?usp=sharing===================================If you enjoyed this episode, remember to hit the like button and subscribe.

Julia Jansch's filmmaking journey began in London and Los Angeles, where she worked on major reality television productions including Idol and The X Factor. Seeking to tell more personal and socially grounded stories, she returned to South Africa and founded her own production company, Southern Point Pictures. Her documentary My Father the Mover won the Best Documentary Short award at the Tribeca Film Festival. Jansch's work drew the attention of Disney, which commissioned her short documentary The Academy, now streaming on Disney+. The film follows Azile Arosi, a young woman from Khayelitsha who joins a sailing programme at Cape Town's Royal Yacht Club. Through sailing, Arosi finds healing and a sense of empowerment. In an interview with BizNews, Jansch said she is committed to telling South African stories of transformation. She described townships like Khayelitsha as places marked by hardship but also by profound resilience and hope. “There is hope,” she said, “for girls everywhere, no matter what their background.”

They had the spotlight.They had the fans.They had the dream… and then they walked away.In this raw and revealing episode, Nola reunites with her former cohost MrMelee and his brother JEVVLZ.. two artists who rose to fame on The X Factor, toured across the U.S. and Asia, and lived what many of us fantasize about.But here's what no one tells you:Fame doesn't fix the parts of you that still feel invisible. Together, they unpack what really happens behind the scenes with the pressure to perform, the loss of identity, the moments of “is this really it?” And the unexpected peace that comes from walking away.This isn't a story about failure.It's a conversation about freedom, growth, and letting go of the version of success that no longer fits.If you've ever questioned your path, felt trapped by your own dreams, or wondered what's on the other side of “making it”.. this one's for you.

SUMMER CROSSOVER SPECTACULAR CONTINUES! Marvel's X-titles are practically a superhero universe unto themselves, and the tradition of regular crossovers between them continues to this day. We take a look at the very first of these epics, “Mutant Massacre,” which follows the wholesale slaughter of the underground Morlock community through parallel story threads in Uncanny X-Men and X-Factor, while also winding its way through several other titles, both mutant-related and not-so-mutant-related. But whereas most crossovers are top-down editorial-driven stunts, the “Massacre” began as a storytelling experiment between writers (and friends) Chris Claremont and Louise Simonson. We look at the history of the X-books as a franchise, labyrinthine plotting that may or may not ever pay off down the line, and how events like this shake up the status quo, for better or for worse.Discussed in this episode: Uncanny X-Men #210-213, X-Factor #9-11, New Mutants #46, Power Pack #27, Thor #373-374, and Daredevil #238.CHECK OUT THE MUTANT MASSACRE MAP: https://marvel.fandom.com/wiki/Mutant_Massacre?file=Mutant_Massacre_Map_001.jpgSUPPORT THE PODCAST: patreon.com/ironageofcomics

Chart-topping bands, musicians and rappers are increasingly singing about God. Why? In this documentary episode Justin Brierley revisits the religious awakening of music stars such as Bob Dylan, Alice Cooper, Cliff Richard and U2 as veteran music journalist Steve Turner explains how faith influenced their music. Justin also speaks to TGC editor Brett McCracken about the current religious revival in rock and rap from musicians such as Stormzy, Mumford & Sons, Nick Cave and Coldplay. But there are pitfalls to being a celebrity music convert. Jon McCray (Whaddo You Meme), KD Ruslan and Nick Brewer share thoughts on the case of Kanye and the conflicted world of rap stars singing about faith. X-Factor contestant Talia Dean also shares her story of recently leaving the secular music industry after discovering something much bigger... God.
