Jack Davenport

Listen to "Jack Davenport From Americana" on Spreaker. Inspired by the paranoid nail-biters of the '70s and set against the foggy skies and twisty streets of San Francisco, AMERICANA is a tense thriller about facing the consequences of an ugly past. Following a festival run that included being nominated to the "New American Cinema Competition" at the 2016 Seattle International Film Festival and capturing the "Best Feature Film Award at the 2016 Lower East Side Film Festival, Zachary Shedd's feature-length debut, called "tantalizing " by the Moveable Fest and "a superbly confident throwback " by Anthem Magazine will be released on March 28, 2017 to DVD ($14.99) and Digital HD courtesy of Candy Factory Films. Two years after alcoholism and depression drove Avery Wells (David Call, Two Gates of Sleep, Tiny Furniture) from his home and career, the San Francisco film editor finds himself back in the city, sobered up and coerced into finishing a cut of a new film - Americana . Avery relents and takes the job due to his connection to the film's star -- his sister Kate (Kelli Garner, Lars and the Real Girl, The Aviator ) -- and the convincing of the film's producer, Calib Andrews (Jack Davenport, Pirates of the Caribbean, Kingsmen: The Secret Service ). Like Avery, the cut is a mess, but the talented editor can salvage it, all while staying clean and reconnecting with his family. Soon, though, he starts receiving menacing calls from a stranger threatening to reveal his darkest secrets - threats impossible to ignore when his sister is murdered. Grief and shame set in as Avery's suspicion of conspiracy grows and he falls off the wagon. Was her death related to the new film? Or was she killed because of mistakes made in the past? As Avery's abusive behavior continues, he dips deeper into paranoia- spurred on by his lawyer Ben (Peter Coyote, Erin Brockovich ) and brother-in-law Josh (Frank Mosley, Upstream Color ) - and only more questions are raised.

Rachel Dolezal

Listen to "Rachel Dolezal In Full Color" on Spreaker. A lot of people have made up their minds about Rachel Doležal. But none of them know her real story. What determines your race? Is it your DNA? The community in which you were raised? The way others see you, or the way you see yourself ? In June 2015, the media “outed” Rachel Doležal as a white woman who had knowingly been “passing” as black. When asked if she were African American during an interview about the hate crimes directed at her and her family, she hesitated before ending the interview and walking away. Some interpreted her reluctance to respond and hasty departure as dishonesty, while others assumed she lacked a reasonable explanation for the almost unprecedented way she identified herself. With In Full Color, Rachel Doležal describes the path that led her from being a child of white evangelical parents to an NAACP chapter president and respected educator and activist who identified as Black. Along the way, she recounts the deep emotional bond she formed with her four adopted Black siblings, the sense of belonging she felt while living in Black communities in Jackson, Mississippi and Washington, D.C., and the experiences she’s had along the way. Her story is nuanced and complex, and in the process of telling it, she forces us to consider race in an entirely new light—not as a biological imperative, but as a function of the experiences we have, the culture we embrace, and, ultimately, the identity we choose.

Felicia Temple

Listen to "Felicia Temple From NBC's The Voice" on Spreaker. Felicia comes from a musical family. Her dad has been touring with the Sugar Hill Gang for as long as she can remember.

After completing six rounds of chemo, Felicia feels this is her moment.

Insomnia

Listen to "Insomnia" on Spreaker. Insomnia... All too often we hear the horrid journeys of those suffering from something that seems like it could easily be cured. Take a pill right? Be it self prescribed or a doctor's decision. It may work for a night but then it's back to the eyes wide open moments. Some that have been taken over by this need to be awake during extremely early morning hours have taken sleep tests and are now attached to cpap machines. I can say this "It was more of nightmare then the happiness the medical official guaranteed." Insomnia... As a writer and creative mind. I've always seen it as the inner voice wanting it's space to be spotted outside your shell. It gets tired of holding onto the memories. It truly doesn't like your career. It's blown away by the methods of release chosen to get an hour or less of rest. That inner voice is speaking but we've chosen to believe that only crazy people recognize that being within. I allow that spirit to have it's place. I allow it to create.

OG Maco

Listen to "rBeatz Music Update OG Maco Not Hip Hop" on Spreaker. Just because it has a beat that resembles Hip Hop doesn't mean the intention of putting the rhythm out there instantly slams a label on the release. OG Maco's not into speaking the street that way. He's vow is to open the imaginations of music fans and writers to be an individual and not wear what everybody has put a name on. It'll make the community stronger when you are being who you are and not what you've been pushed into. His latest release on rBeatz Radio is titled Worried.

Mitch Albom

Listen to "Mitch Albom 20th Anniversary of Tuesdays With Morrie" on Spreaker. In 1995, Mitch Albom would see an interview that would change not only his life, but the lives of millions around the world. It was Ted Koppel’s Nightline conversation with Morris “Morrie” Schwartz, Albom’s favorite and beloved college professor. Morrie had been diagnosed with ALS and was spending his final months talking with others about what it meant to be dying. Moved by the interview, and feeling guilty that he had lost touch for all those years, Albom went to visit his old teacher. That turned into another visit, and another, and every Tuesday Morrie had left in his life. Their wise and loving conversations became the basis for TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE. Albom wrote the small book only to pay Morrie’s medical bills. TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE was published in 1997 with a small initial print run, but the response was overwhelming. Its message of inspiration resounded with readers, launching the memoir to the #1 spot on numerous bestseller lists, where it would remain for years. TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE would be adapted by Oprah Winfrey into an Emmy-winning TV movie (starring Hank Azaria and Jack Lemmon, in one of his final performances), as well as a stage play that has seen hundreds of productions around the world. The book, published in 41 languages, is now a staple in classrooms, universities, and homes. On March 28, 2017, Broadway Books will publish a special 20th Anniversary Edition to commemorate this remarkable milestone. This special edition will include a new afterword from Albom, reflecting back on his relationship with Morrie and the incredible impact the book has had since its original publication. With over 15 million copies sold to-date worldwide, TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE is a true publishing phenomenon. Its enduring success proves that this story is not only touching, but timeless, and with the 20th Anniversary Edition, Albom will share Morrie’s lesson—and two decades of perspective—with a whole new generation of readers.

J Chosen

He recently became a father but finds it difficult to see his son as he lives three hours from his child’s mother.

Beyond Belief

Listen to "Beyond Belief" on Spreaker. Because I daily write. I've learned to be aware of more than just the field of fruit waiting to be harvested. Kind of a big subject. But we are very much aware of how bosses and others endlessly press forward expecting company growth and monetary strength without truly gripping the requirement of what took place before the farmer planted the seeds. The only thing they hold is your resume and word that you'll accomplish the task at hand. Being on the outside looking in what do you see? In everything we do we take note of the day things began. But did it really officially kick off in that moment. Daily writing has offered me a window to look through. To take note of writing habits as well as document gains and losses. But where were the first steps taken. Before anything is recognized there are signs of it's existence long before the public viewing. In the process of bringing to the surface every radio show I've created and produced. Every book I've published. Every song recorded. Before any of it came into being... there were signals and verbal exchanges about what if? Not just that but why? I don't believe we jump off a cliff into the positions we hold as jobs. I don't believe every project expected is a last minute decision. Before the farmer puts that seed in the soil there is a long list of visuals that became your present place. Rather than celebrate the victories and or dark clouds. Look beyond the assumed first step and see the entire story. It will help you grow forward and outward in ways that no boss can teach. You are the President and CEO of Me Inc.

Patoranking

Easily you can see how much Bob Marley played in the creation of his far reaching presence. Especially when it comes to his burning desire to always be for the people. The latest release from Patoranking on rBeatz Radio is My Woman.

Johnny Gates

Listen to "Johnny Gates From NBC's The Voice" on Spreaker.

Measuring Growth

Listen to "Measuring Growth" on Spreaker. Again this season I've been blessed with the opportunity to sit down and share conversation with the men and women being featured on NBC's The Voice. And in every conversation I slip between their prepared lines and ask the questions based on the experience. I believe we were all given the chance to be teachers. Who and what you are today might not please you. Reality is... Today's moment could be that one thing someone needs a week from now or more. Learning to document the storms with the victories is a great way to communicate to the several selves we are. We've all heard that we shed a layer of skin everyday. I believe our personality is no different. Who you are now might resemble yesterday but you aren't the same. I daily write not to glorify the journey but to learn from the lessons taught in days gone. To take from the notes the identity of where I was headed so I know how to meander around it in the seconds ahead. Stop being afraid of creating a paper trail. I get it. Writing opens your life to people that like to snoop. But there is no feeling better than knowing all that made you dark inside is free from the next decision leading to success.

John Oates

Listen to "John Oats Change Of Seasons" on Spreaker. John Oates was born at the perfect time, paralleling the birth of rock ‘n roll. Raised in a small Pennsylvania town, he was exposed to folk, blues, soul, and R&B. Meeting and teaming up with Daryl Hall in the late 1960s, they developed a style of music that was uniquely their own but never abandoned their roots. John uncovers the grit and struggle it took to secure a recording contract with the legendary Atlantic Records and chronicles the artistic twists and turns that resulted in a DJ discovering an obscure album track that would become their first hit record. This is not your typical rock and roll story. John was focused creating great music. Along the way he achieved incredible success, battling the ever-changing pop music landscape and coming to terms with complex managerial, business, and personal challenges. Daryl Hall and John Oates have over 20 albums together, more than 60 million records sold, and 29 Top 40 hits. They are the most successful pop duo in the world and members of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. And yet John’s story has never been told. Relying on his many hand-written journals, he brings to light many fascinating stories spanning his entire life with a journalist’s eye and a poet’s heart. In Change of Seasons, John shares his highs, lows, triumphs, and failures. He takes the reader on a wild ride through all the eras, personalities and music that has shaped him into what he is.

Listen to "Spilled Ink" on Spreaker. I am a daily writer. I use a nib to place words onto a sheet of paper. Outside of the writing circle. I use a fountain pen. In using one of these instruments it requires bottles of ink. Yesterday I spilled an entire bottle. I call ink the blood from my soul. Kind of gross but to a writer where else do these words come from but those hidden away circles of energy. Because it flows it has to be the way I see. So I instantly wrote yesterday with ink stains on both of my hands "I've spilled Gods word on my hands." Writing while in meditation and or prayer is my way of bringing words forward. What thoughts didn't make it to paper? The ink was staining my hands not the veins of the living tree. Little things like this bother me deeply. Until I heard something in my heart, "To push things beyond the four walls of self. You have to spill ink. No matter who you are we all have moments of trips, stumbles and falls. We were born to make mistakes. But how many of us miss the lesson taught by instantly calling ourselves a failure?" Learn from your moments of spilled ink. There is always a message during your darkest of steps. Teach it so that others can locate peace.

The Art Of Being Lost

Listen to "The Art Of Being Lost" on Spreaker. Undocumented are the tiny prayers and or shapes of meditation we toss onto our paths during times of change and or victory. It's as if we leap into those solo moments of universal conversation and expect the higher powers to heal the purpose of there being moments that feel out of control. While preparing for my radio show "The Choice" I came across a documented moment that could easily fall under the category of prayer. I didn't let it rest in my head and heart then disappear through a whisper. On this particular day of morning writing there was reason for it to reach beyond January 12, 2016. The focus is based on reaching beyond what we believe. With a final thought resting hard on the art of being lost. Think about that. Amazing things appear on the surface of the planet from someone that's gotten tied up in a circle of being lost. Is there an art to it? Comedians, musicians and artists have openly admitted that much of what they create comes from a darker place. In your chapters of being or feeling lost. Is there something you should be creating that will inspire someone to improve their place on the planet. The art of being lost.

Falling Stars

Listen to "Falling Stars" on Spreaker. I came across a piece written on January 11 2016. Daily writing that put focus on the passing of David Bowie. I was bothered by the way that today's technology has turned what these artists brought to life into petrified stones. Music, television and other creative escapes have figured out how to last centuries. The impact of losing an artist is easily cooled off by Google, YouTube or your smart phone. The physical act of missing the writers, producers and performers that shaped our lives is nearly non existent. When we feel that Michael Jackson meets Prince moment our imaginations aren't forced into a physical act of memory. We let the digital devices convince us that they aren't gone. How could they be? They're right here on my computer screen. Our most recent loss of Chuck Berry has every publication unveiling the music makers that were inspired by his passion to be original. Yet... I've yet to hear the common man and woman that bought the records, posters and concert tickets talk about it. He's not gone! I just saw his video!

Martin Garrix

Listen to "rBeatz Music Update Martin Garrix's Evolution" on Spreaker. Three years ago he was just one of a million spinning music in their private huts of play. But once set free at Coachella it's been a total Martin Garrix evolution and revolution. He's more than just that master mixer. He's created his own foundation of success with an open sign on the door for other creative minds to participate. The latest release from Martin on rBeatz Radio is Scared To Be Lonely.

Bag Raiders

Listen to "rBeatz Music Update Bag Raiders On Being At Home" on Spreaker. From a listeners point of view being on the road always looks like a life filled with fun, adventure and plenty of partying. The Bag Raiders look at getting off the road being the true tour. It's getting used to being on a real road with real people and real things to do. In fact they call it their tour of life. The latest release from the Bag Raiders on rBeatz Radio is Shooting Stars.

Sam Tripoli

Listen to "Sam Tripoli Creator of The Diobolical" on Spreaker. Practitioner of the Deadly Art of Comedy! Sam Tripoli views comedy as a calling rather a profession. It’s a passion that he preaches to audiences live in nightclubs, radio, television and pod- casts nationwide.

Tripoli’s last album “Believe In Yourself” debuted at #2 on iTunes in America and #1 in Canada!

Plus, Sam is proud to be featured in the new documentary film about Stand up comedy called “Dying Laughing!” coming out in theaters in 2017.

Tripoli has been heard on “The Howard Stern Show,” “The Jason Ellis Show” on Sirius Radio, and also regularly appears on “The Joe Rogan Experience” and “The Fighter and The Kid” podcasts. Sam also had a standup residency appearance with his “Naughty Show” at Planet Hollywood’s Sin City Theatre in Las Vegas through the summer of 2016. On stage he’s a force of nature, pacing the stage like a cyclone of funny as he questions authority and the conventions of our society one moment, then earnestly expressing his affinity for bizarre the next. His comedy has no limits – its whatever he’s thinking about, and that’s usually what every- one else is thinking about, even though sometimes we don’t like to admit to it. “I like to think of myself as the little voice in everyone’s head, except I have a microphone and I’m funnier,” Sam says. His new comedy album, The Diabolical, will be released Friday March 17th, available on iTunes.

Augustin Fuentes

Listen to "Augustin Fuentes The Creative Spark" on Spreaker. Creativity: it’s the secret of what makes humans special. Agustín Fuentes, professor and Chair of the Department of Anthropology at University of Notre Dame, brings us this optimistic assertion -- that we are defined as a species by our unique capacity for creativity and collaboration.  In THE CREATIVE SPARK, a history of human creativity, he weaves together fascinating stories about our ancestors and explores how creativity has propelled the evolutionary development of our bodies, minds, and cultures over millions of years. Join Agustín Fuentes on Tuesday, March 21st, as he discusses:   ·         The history and trajectory of human creativity, from selective foraging and hunting to modern technology. ·         The unique relationship between humans and dogs, the only domesticated animal that shaped our evolutionary path even as we shaped theirs. ·         Evidence that men are not inherently more violent and women are not inherently more domestic. ·         The dark side of human creativity—how social constructs such as race, gender, and nationality incite conflict at levels not seen in other species. ·         Actionable steps we can take to harness our own creative power when it comes to food, sex, art, science, and more.   As Fuentes concludes, to make something lasting and useful today you need to understand the nature of your collaboration with others, what imagination can and can't accomplish, and, finally, just how completely our creativity is responsible for the world we live in.   About the Author: Agustín Fuentes is a professor and the chair of Notre Dame’s Department of Anthropology and a National Geographic Explorer. He has contributed to Psychology Today, Huffington Post, Salon.com, and Slate.com. He is the author of Race, Monogamy, and Other Lies They Told You, and winner of the W.W. Howells Book Award. He lives in Indiana.

Emperors And Elephants

Listen to "Jason From Emperors and Elephants" on Spreaker. Emperors and Elephants is a hard driving modern heavy rock band based in the suburbs of the Windy City, Chicago Illinois. Formed in early 2010, they quickly gathered great momentum in the Midwest area, and started venturing further outside the region. Area rock stations took hold of E&E and featured the song “Who You Are” in their rotations. Leading the charge was 95.1 WIIL Rock, who took it to the next level with a special E&E on-air acoustic performance requested by listeners. Drawing from their musical heroes of hard and heavy music, each member contributes to the unique vibe and sound of the band, and the end result gives E&E its own identity. Their efforts were noticed immediately and directly led to the signing with Pavement Entertainment. Armed with a collection of newly inspired material, 2014 saw the band release their debut full-length album, “Devil in the Lake” (Pavement Entertainment). The 2014 “Devil in the Lake” Tour brought E&E throughout the country well into 2016, playing countless shows and festivals, masterfully broadening their fan base. Emperors & Elephants became a solid touring machine, with their popularity soaring at every turn. On the evening of August 13th 2016, tragedy struck in Savage, Minnesota. After playing a show, lead guitarist and founding member Jeff Windisch suffered a massive heart-attack and regrettably passed away. The loss of Jeff was devastating. After taking some much needed time to recover and heal, the band decided the best way to honor their friend was to continue on; with the help of long time fan and friend Anthony Modica taking the mantel of lead guitar as a permanent member of Emperors and Elephants. Before Jeff's passing, the band completed work on their highly anticipated follow up album. Titled “Moth”, the album will be released in March of 2017. You can pre-order the special album bundle package here: http://goo.gl/8ZQEUf

The Swoop Of The Bird

Listen to "The Swoop Of The Bird" on Spreaker. I spend hours staring into the soul of birds. It's been my thing since the day my father brought an injured pigeon home from work. Helping him or her regain strength required me to learn the behavior of the wild. Even today I am surrounded by birds. I call them my Jazz. Some might say the bird is my Totem. But you can't say that. There are too many with different types of energy moving in every direction. And it's within that swoop that I find reason to get closer to the bird. How does a bird instantly switch directions and add flight in a completely different direction? They dart in front of cars and fallen rocks. Instantly they move while the human takes it all in one step at a time. I believe its because birds face their fears every moment. They aren't afraid of chance. More importantly birds see life as the moment we're presently standing in. What if your flight was a little more focused like that of a bird. You know you want to do it. Jump off that limb and locate success by way of the wind moving with you rather than against.

Starley

Listen to "rBeatz Music Update Starley Almost Gave In" on Spreaker. We've read the pages of every music magazine for decades on how difficult it is to get into the music business. It's even tougher to stay active. Starley left her homeland of Australia to take up songwriting in London. Only to find herself on the very stage her past told her she'd never reach. Starley's latest release on rBeatz Radio is Call On Me.

Zedd

Listen to "rBeatz Music Update Zedd Creating Music In The Basement" on Spreaker. Even radio people played the secret spot in the house game. I endlessly practiced being a disc jockey in my bedroom. Musicians are no different. The greatest of the great had a hidden sweet spot in the house or garage that became their stages of lets pretend. For Zedd it was his parents basement. It was how he turned each corner of the room into an instrument that earned him a recording contract. His latest release on rBeatz Radio is Stay.

Dr James Doty

Listen to "Dr James Doty Author Of Into The Magic Shop" on Spreaker. You wouldn’t know it from meeting him today, but Dr. James Doty, an extremely successful neurosurgeon, the director of the Center for Compassion and Altruism Research and Care (CCARE), and a close, personal friend of the Dalai Lama, grew up poor with an alcoholic, unreliable father and a chronically depressed mother. He had no direction, no one in his family had ever gone to college, and he was on a path to nowhere. But when he was twelve years old, and interested in illusions and magic, he wandered INTO THE MAGIC SHOP: A Neurosurgeon’s Quest to Discover the Mysteries of the Brain and the Secrets of the Heart (Avery, February 14, 2017, Hardcover, eBook) and met Ruth, a woman who saw potential in Jim and taught him how to manifest his greatest desires through a series of techniques and meditative exercises. She already knew what Jim would soon learn: a unique relationship between the brain and the heart could allow one to manifest their greatest desires and lead to incredible success and happiness. Doty was more successful at manifesting his desires than he ever thought possible: he got into college, medical school, became a neurosurgeon and rich as an entrepreneur that, on paper and with his background and grades, made no sense, but in his mind, were the only possible outcomes for his life. But Doty neglected one of the most important lessons from Ruth: keeping his heart open. He had riches and dazzling professional success, but felt empty inside. Suddenly he has a financial setback essentially losing everything except for the stock of one company that had yet to go public. Should he take that stock and give it to the charities he had committed to support when he had “everything” or give it away and be virtually bankrupt? Would this act of charity ruin his life or be the stepping-stone to real success? INTO THE MAGIC SHOP is part memoir, part neuroscience with practical instructions from Ruth included as well. It shows how we can all fundamentally change our lives by changing our brains and opening our hearts and by doing so have real happiness. https://www.spreaker.com/user/arroe/dr-james-doty-author-of-into-the-magic-s

Lexa Doig

Listen to "Lexa Doig From The Arrangement" on Spreaker. E! has slotted the premiere of its anticipated new scripted series The Arrangement for Sunday, March 5 at 10 PM. The 10-part drama, from Universal Cable Productions and Emmy winning writer/EP Jonathan Abrahams (Mad Men),is a multi-layered sexy Hollywood love story about the darker side of celebrity. Josh Henderson, Christine Evangelista, Lexa Doig and Michael Vartan star. It follows Megan Morrison (Evangelista) who, as she auditions for the role of a lifetime, also lands a Cinderella-esque date with A-list movie star Kyle West (Henderson). But things get complicated when Megan is offered a 10 million dollar marriage contract and is introduced to Kyle’s secretive self-help organization, The Institute of the Higher Mind. While Megan has a mysterious past she is trying to keep hidden, Kyle has secrets of his own. The Arrangement drew a lot of attention at the pilot stage due to some similarities between its plot and Tom Cruise, his ties to Scientology and his relationship with Katie Holmes, leading to the network issuing a statement that the project was not inspired by anyone in particular. The Arrangement pilot was directed by Ken Olin and written by Abrahams, who will serve as executive producer on the series. Jimmy Fox of Main Event Media along with Layla Smith and Gregory Lipstone of All3Media America and director Jonas Pate, will also serve as executive producers.

Isaac Lidsky

Listen to "Isaac Lidsky Eyes Wide Open" on Spreaker. In his popular new TED Talk "What reality are you creating for yourself?," former Saved by the Bell teen star-turned-entrepreneur Isaac Lidsky recalls how the sales person he waved to in the store was really a mannequin, and how he reached down to wash his hands and realized it was a urinal and not a sink. He learned of his diagnosis at thirteen: Retinitis Piegmentosa, a degenerative eye disease that would lead to his blindness by age 25. After initially believing his blindness signaled the end of his independence and achievement, Lidsky found other pathways of perception, turning his life around with his Eyes Wide Open philosophy. He graduated from Harvard Law School, worked as a law clerk under the guidance of Sandra Day O’Connor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg, and eventually became a highly successful entrepreneur and family man.   In his new book EYES WIDE OPEN: Overcoming Obstacles and Recognizing Opportunities in a World That Cant’s See Clearly, Isaac Lidsky probes the many facets of perception, detailing the neuroscience of sight and drawing on his own experience to show how our perception shapes—and often limits—our reality.

The Lyrics From Billy's Forest Chapter 65

Listen to "The Lyrics From Billys Forest Chapter 65" on Spreaker. The first day of Spring has come and gone. I sat in the forest thinking about how dull the colors seemed. They were gray, brown and very little green. But I thought it was Spring! Too often in our everyday journeys we find faith in judging the painting before its truly put on display. To sit in the forest and expect the vibrant bright colors to instantly pop in the moment was truly being unfair to the artist. We can't see the rest of the year by way of what's put out on day one. July might be an extremely cold month. October might blister us with 80 degree temps sending Fall into a tailspin. In our everyday chapters. Bosses have incredible visions but as employees we tend to sit in tight circles critiquing the steps of the decision maker. If it doesn't fit perfectly many people jump ship or begin the process of spreading bad energy by way of verbal exchange. What if we just stopped and accepted the amount of time required for the entire canvas to come to life? Maybe its because so much of who we are is attached to a company's need to make amazing amounts of money and time means nothing to them? Can it or will it ever change. Nope. But you can redirect the way you act and react during times of change. Leadership isn't found on a door. Its in your heart.

Sander Kleinenberg

Listen to "rBeatz Music Update Sander Kleinenberg Inspirations" on Spreaker. When you think of Sting and The Police. It's an automatic to recognize them as a trio. Two guitars and drums. Not according to Sander Kleinenberg. He totally sees them as a four piece musical instrument. His latest release on rBeatz Radio is Feel Like Home.

Niall Horan

Listen to "rBeatz Music Update Niall Horan Talks Album Release" on Spreaker. The iPod changed the way we listen to music. It affected the way we purchase it. From that little Apple device came smart phones and tablets that made music even more available. With so many singles when then is the right time to release a new album? Niall Horan is facing that challenge today. His latest release on rBeatz Radio is This Town.

Michael Ware

Listen to "Michael Ware Natl Geographics Explorers" on Spreaker. Michael Ware was one of the few Western journalists to live full-time in Iraq during the war. He began his Middle East career as Time magazine's correspondent in Afghanistan in late 2001 -- just months after the attacks of 9/11 -- but headed to Iraq prior to the coalition's invasion in 2003. He was soon appointed Baghdad bureau chief and wrote numerous articles detailing the war, including cover stories from Fallujah and Tal'Afar. In May 2006 he moved to CNN and lived at their Baghdad bureau for more than three years before relocating to New York City in order to cover a number of conflict zones around the world, including not only Iraq but also Afghanistan, Pakistan, and Mexico. Michael last reported for CNN in December of 2009. A few years later he started working towards making a feature film about his time in the war zone and formed his own production company, Penance Films, for that project as well as future releases. His first feature-length documentary, Only the Dead, was released in 2015.

We've stacked the deck again with up tempo driving rock songs, mid tempo tunes and a few acoustic ballad tracks. We're hoping this new album will be added to your existing Night Ranger catalog!!!" enthuses Gillis. With more than 17 million albums sold worldwide, over 3000 live shows performed, and more than 1 billion in radio audience, Night Ranger has both epitomized and transcended the arena rock sound and style of that era and beyond.

CJ Box

Listen to "CJ Box Author Of Vicious Circle" on Spreaker. Dallas Cates has always been trouble. The only member of a malevolent family to make something of himself, Dallas squandered his talent and celebrity as a rodeo champion and landed in state prison after he messed with the wrong girl, Joe Pickett’s daughter April. The conviction was the culmination of a violent altercation that left three Cateses dead and landed Dallas’s manipulative mother in prison.  Now, Dallas has been released and he blames Joe for everything. When Joe’s cohort Dave Farkus overhears Dallas and his companions plotting against about the Pickett family, he tries to warn the lawman. It is an act that will lead to Farkus’s brutal slaying in the nearby mountains.   Although Dallas is quickly apprehended for the murder, it turns out he inherited his wily mind from his malicious mother and the Pickett family is far from safe. When April’s roommate is attacked and critically wounded by a mysterious woman who seems to have connections to Dallas, it’s obvious that April was the real intended target. With everyone he loves at risk, Joe is nonetheless hamstrung by the law—there is not much he can do without proof that Dallas is out to get them. And by the time he has that proof, it may be too late.

Peter Coyote

Listen to "Peter Coyote From Americana" on Spreaker. Inspired by the paranoid nail-biters of the '70s and set against the foggy skies and twisty streets of San Francisco, AMERICANA is a tense thriller about facing the consequences of an ugly past. Following a festival run that included being nominated to the "New American Cinema Competition" at the 2016 Seattle International Film Festival and capturing the "Best Feature Film Award at the 2016 Lower East Side Film Festival, Zachary Shedd's feature-length debut, called "tantalizing " by the Moveable Fest and "a superbly confident throwback " by Anthem Magazine will be released on March 28, 2017 to DVD ($14.99) and Digital HD courtesy of Candy Factory Films. Two years after alcoholism and depression drove Avery Wells (David Call, Two Gates of Sleep, Tiny Furniture) from his home and career, the San Francisco film editor finds himself back in the city, sobered up and coerced into finishing a cut of a new film - Americana . Avery relents and takes the job due to his connection to the film's star -- his sister Kate (Kelli Garner, Lars and the Real Girl, The Aviator ) -- and the convincing of the film's producer, Calib Andrews (Jack Davenport, Pirates of the Caribbean, Kingsmen: The Secret Service ). Like Avery, the cut is a mess, but the talented editor can salvage it, all while staying clean and reconnecting with his family. Soon, though, he starts receiving menacing calls from a stranger threatening to reveal his darkest secrets - threats impossible to ignore when his sister is murdered. Grief and shame set in as Avery's suspicion of conspiracy grows and he falls off the wagon. Was her death related to the new film? Or was she killed because of mistakes made in the past? As Avery's abusive behavior continues, he dips deeper into paranoia- spurred on by his lawyer Ben (Peter Coyote, Erin Brockovich ) and brother-in-law Josh (Frank Mosley, Upstream Color ) - and only more questions are raised.

Called To Starbucks

Listen to "Called To Starbucks" on Spreaker. I don't think it's something we've developed in recent times. I remember my father being a man who was very set in his way. If ever knocked off his point of direction he wasted no time to let those involved know of his disappointment. Being on a mission is a brilliant place in my heart. I love it when people share their visions. But I'm guilty of tuning out when what they said no longer holds importance in their chapters. Something knocked them off their path. I absolutely ask them about it. Only to hear the typical excuse, "I tried..." Yesterday it was my mission to be at Elevation Church Ballantyne. God challenged me to a simple thought I expressed to people a year ago. I've been on a mission to take Church beyond the four walls of a building. Yesterday God put me in a Starbucks watching the 11:00 service on a huge computer screen. Doesn't seem special right? I guess so. But you weren't there. I walked in and sat down. Moving four different times because of a very cold breeze. I couldn't locate its source. So I finally moved 4 feet away from the counter at Starbucks. Watching Elevation and taking hardcore notes. God wanted me to take church beyond the four walls of a building. Without truly thinking about it. There I was at a Starbucks with that huge computer screen near the counter. If but only one person walked by and found it to be a place of peace during a huge storm in their chapters. Then it was meant to be.

The Lyrics From Billy's Forest Chapter 64

Listen to "The Lyrics From Billys Forest Chapter 64" on Spreaker. Growing up my parents endlessly asked me, "Who do you think you are?" My reply was, "It's not who I am. It's who I am going to become." The parental figures never seemed to be too happy with that come back. They wanted to know what led up to the making of the present decisions. I never stopped trying to explain that making the right choice now was greater in who I will be tomorrow than the choices I made yesterday. So in 2017 I still ask, "Does being in the present have an echo? Or is it a performance brought on by an echo? Sadly I think many of us are the end result of other people's echoes. So how do you re-grip the lines on the path and make it your own? By recognizing who you are in this moment. Being open with the truth. Not I am... But rather why am I? The change in language will increase your confidence and build stronger trails toward your personal leadership skills. If you're going to be you. Then be yourself the entire way.
