[“Snakes are jerks.” My favourite Schwarzenegger movies are The Terminator 1 & 2, Predator, True Lies, The Last Action Hero, and probably a few more.]

Face The music: An Electric Light Orchestra Song by Song Podcast - 22 June 2024: this is another one of those great episodes where Eric Paul Johnson speaks with Madelyne to find out what she thinks about a song, six years after she was asked previously. I am guessing that this is an episode filling time while Eric Wincentson was getting better, but it really works. It shows how our opinions of songs can sometimes change overtime. This time they are looking at the Roy Wood written song The Battle of Marston Moor, which is a song that divides people, with my opinion being more positive than a lot of other people.

The Stupid History Minute - 22 June 2024: Sour Patch Kids 

Where’s That Sound Coming From - episode 0: 30 December 2024: *Dateline December 30 2023. The spinoff is now the main event. Welcome to Where's That Sound Coming From Presents: Questions But No Answers! Yes, WTSCF has become what might be the only podcast centered on the musical career of a person whom I consider to be one of the most creative, if underrated and misunderstood, musical minds of the mid-late 20th Century: the late, great Michael Nesmith. I made a list of 75 songs he recorded between 1965-2016 which I feel support my opinion (mostly original, but I had to include a handful of wonderful cover versions) and I intend to devote a 30-60 min episode to each song (though if appropriate I might clump two together in one episode). True to Nez's own philosophy of letting ideas unfold in time and space to allow for growth, I only have a general idea of what I want these episodes to be like. More details to be found in this episode. I hope you dig. And Happy Nez, er New Year!

Garrison Keillor's Podcast: The Writer’s Almanac - 28 October 2023: *The art of leaving home - The pleasure of moving is the excavation of the past. I open a box and here's a photo of my fifth-grade class, the eager neatly-combed-and-dressed boy with glasses sitting behind John Poate is me. I am still that eager boy, heavier but anxious to do well. There is a letter from a fan of my radio show, "Every Saturday at 5 p.m., everything else ceased and we gathered around the radio." Also, in a brown envelope, eight color photographs of my innards taken by the surgical team that installed a pig valve in my heart: the valve is pale pink, the innards are dark red. And there is a letter from a beloved aunt in 1995, reproaching me for traveling to Rome with my fiancée, engaging no doubt in premarital sex, embarking on a path of philandering and adultery, for which there would be no forgiveness. It's a powerful articulate letter and I admire her for writing it, which she did out of love.

Composer’s Datebook - 22 June 2024: Roy Whelden's new music for an old instrument

Feedback with Earbuds - 4 October 2020: This episode’s theme is *‘Sharing the Knowledge’ from curator of the week, Ynon Hermon! Their choices are: Assorted Goods - ‘Planet Amazon’ / All The People You Should Know - ‘Josh and Ynon Know People #1’ / Lady Justice - ‘Butterknowle Stoning’ / The History Cache - ‘A Strange Experiment: Dr. William Beaumont and the Guinea Pig of Mackinac Island’ / The Anthropocene - Side Quest. Podcast Spotlight: Latinx on the Rise. Latinx On The Rise is a podcast focusing on conversations with high achieving Latinx movers and shakers. Under the current political climate, the Latinx community continue to be relegated by being told what and who they are with little space to share perspective of our own stories. From queer identity to Afro-Latinidad we are constantly reminded there is little room for our stories to reach the masses. [I think this is the first episode where Arielle has a podcast spotlight section?]
