Adam Cole

Listen to "Adam Cole From NXT On USA" on Spreaker. NXT launched in 2010 as WWE’s third global brand alongside Raw and SmackDown, hosting nearly 200 live events around the world each year. Wildly popular with fans, NXT has been WWE Network’s #1 weekly series. Now, NXT moves to USA Network with live, two-hour action-packed episodes every Wednesday night beginning October 2. At the top of the NXT mountain is NXT Champion Adam Cole. Once described by WWE Hall of Famer “Stone Cold” Steve Austin as “hellacious” inside the ring and on the microphone, Cole first made waves on the independent wrestling circuit. He competed around the globe for nearly 10 years, winning championships in almost every organization he competed and building a reputation for his meticulous in-ring attack, not to mention his exclamatory (and infectious) means of introducing himself: “Adam Cole, Bay-Bay!”

Joker

Listen to "Joker" on Spreaker. I attended the world premiere of the new film Joker. First Joaquin Phoenix takes the term mind blowing to a new level of blowing up your mind. This isn't a movie review but maybe a new step for viewers and listeners to be more aware of their personal reviews. You can't help but see pieces of your self in this character. We're all carrying luggage. Where you set it aside is determined by a choice. How it's picked back up can come incredibly unexpected and it feels like you've not gone anywhere. Forget that Joaquin is playing a DC comic book villain. This film is about mental abuse, sickness and distance caused by a society that continues to drop off its luggage in corners assumed gone forever. I grew up in a world where my grandmother and aunt endlessly tried to put my brother in an institution. That's what they did in the 60's! Mom wanted nothing to do with that plan or purpose. She stayed true to him faithfully, unconditionally and spiritually. She didn't try to hide anything. There are several shapes and shades of what mental illness is and there are experts that can help unlock the mountain standing in your way. On this podcast I do something I rarely attempt. I don't ever read from the current day we're standing in. Time has taught me how to digest. I write about the Joker experience by way of being a daily writer and how important it is to build on that platform. Joaquin called it his joke book. We all have one of those its called Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. On the outside, as a reader, a lot of stuff shows up on the face of my computer that may have come out of you as a way of releasing. What are you truly trying to say. We can't hear your inflection by way of written words. Joker. You're gonna be a different person when you leave the theater. You're gonna look not only into your own heart but from that day forward the way you laugh in pubic or while alone. It will put you in places you thought were hidden away in boxes forever. Don't be afraid to reach for help.

Rick Riordan

Listen to "Rick Riordan Releases The Tyrants Tomb" on Spreaker. After angering his father Zeus, the god Apollo is cast down from Olympus. He lands in New York City as a mortal teenage boy. Now, without his godly powers, the deity must learn to survive in the modern world until he can somehow find a way to regain Zeus’s favor. It's not easy being Apollo, especially when you've been turned into a human and banished from Olympus. On his path to restoring five ancient oracles and reclaiming his godly powers, Apollo (aka Lester Papadopoulos) has faced both triumphs and tragedies. Now his journey takes him to Camp Jupiter in the San Francisco Bay Area, where the Roman demigods are preparing for a desperate last stand against the evil Triumvirate of Roman emperors. Hazel, Reyna, Frank, Tyson, Ella, and many other old friends will need Apollo's aid to survive the onslaught. Unfortunately, the answer to their salvation lies in the forgotten tomb of a Roman ruler . . . someone even worse than the emperors Apollo has already faced.

Robbie Robertson

Listen to "Robbie Robertson Releases Sinematic" on Spreaker. Inspired by his decades of creating and composing music for film and filled with an enthralling set of songs exploring the darker corridors of human nature, Robbie Robertson’s aptly titled, evocative new solo album Sinematicis set for release on September 20 via UMe.

For his new album, Robertson drew inspiration from his recent film score writing and recording for director Martin Scorsese’s eagerly anticipated organized crime epic “The Irishman,” as well as the forthcoming feature documentary film, “Once Were Brothers: Robbie Robertson and The Band,” based on his 2016 New York Times bestselling memoir “Testimony.”The documentary will celebrate its world premiere on Thursday, September 5 as the Opening Night Gala Presentation for the 44th Toronto International Film Festival.

Drawn from Scorsese’s film and the book it’s based on, Charles Brandt’s “I Heard You Paint Houses” about confessed hit man Frank “The Irishman” Sheeran, the song is a riveting duet with Van Morrison that features bright guitar and a blithe tone that belies its chilling lyrics. Mob code for hiring a hit man, paintinghouses refers to spattering walls with blood. Opening with Robertson’s devilish invitation, “Shall we take a little spin/To the dark side of town?,” the opening track sets the album’s stage for more gripping tales of villainy and viceand powerful stories about destruction and despair.

The Lyrics From Billy's Forest Chapter 172

Listen to "The Lyrics From Billys Forest Chapter 172" on Spreaker. I am a poet. I write in a lot of forests. Its because I believe trees are the storytellers not the human. Pretty weird thinking right? We're all on our own journey. How you get from each corner is determined by how much energy you place in a reason. On this podcast the collections of words placed on a giving tree's gift to those who enjoy writing, I'm going through the methods of calm madness on pack up day at the camp ground. Documenting what it's like to hold everything just experienced inside this forest and now you've got to get back to a world of business and lifestyle survival. Moving through the moments we invite while grasping onto the circumstances we'd rather remain free of. Dealing with reality. Nobody wants that! Nobody wants change either. Yet we find ourselves always in a place of packing up to move on. You might have the same career as ten years ago but your emotional baggage isn't the same. We change more than just everyday. We evolve every hour. Then we pack up and move forward. I think the reason why we eat too much is based on trying to create mile markers. Every morning at 4:00 I question my memory. What did you have for lunch yesterday? What do you remember watching on television last night. Who did you send text messages to? Mental exercising. Because today and every day is pack up day. What are carrying forward with you?
