Melissa Barrera And Mishel Prada
Listen to "Melissa Barrera and Mishel Prada Season 3 Of Vida On Starz" on Spreaker.
The final season of the GLAAD Award-winning series—which follows two Mexican-American sisters in Los Angeles, is coming to an end. In Season 3 Lyn and Emma continue the monumental task of rebuilding their mother's business while navigating financial constraints, competing developers, and the growing anti-gentrification movement. Lyn and Emma must contemplate the relationships in their lives, including their own, and are forced to dig deep to unearth what their mother’s legacy means to them.
The show will air its final six, 30-minute episodes beginning April 26th. “Vida” is a character drama about coming home, confronting the past and finally growing up. At its core, the show is about family and mending broken bonds. The show is gritty and bold in its storytelling. “Vida” fosters inclusiveness both in front and behind the camera. The writer’s room and directors are also predominantly female and people of color, allowing for authenticity in the way the characters and stories are represented. The series looks at the ever-changing demography of the east side of Los Angeles: how gentrification is impacting the community and the growing LGBTQ population within the neighborhood.
Melissa Barrera will soon star in the movie adaptation of Lin-Manuel Miranda’s Broadway musical “In the Heights.” The movie is being directed by Crazy Rich Asians filmmaker Jon M. Chu, and it also stars Anthony Ramos and Corey Hawkins. Additionally, Barrera has also been set to star as the title character in Carmen, opposite Jamie Dornan. The modern-day reimagining of the classic opera will mark the feature debut of Black Swan choreographer Benjamin Millepied and will feature music from Oscar®-nominated music composer Nicholas Britell (Moonlight) and Grammy®-winning singer-songwriter Julieta Venegas.
Born and raised in South Florida, Mishel Prada first broke onto the scene as the lead of the hit Emmy®-nominated digital series “Fear the Walking Dead: Passage.” Since then, Prada has risen to new prominence playing the lead role of Emma in the groundbreaking hit STARZ series “Vida.” Her work on “Vida,” along with her support of various charity organizations in and out of the LGBTQ world, has made her an important presence on the political stage. She is currently recurring on the hit show “Riverdale,” and she just finished shooting the third season of “Vida.”
The Lyrics From Billy's Forest Chapter 201
Listen to "The Lyrics From Billys Forest Chapter 201" on Spreaker.
Over the past nine weeks I've been blessed with the opportunity to walk slowly through our entire neighborhood. I didn't know the man down the street was a bee farmer. Thousands of bees and a million stories about how to not only learn how to love them but to keep them coming back to his hives. And yes he's horrified of the potential of the Murder Hornet somehow making its way to the Carolinas. A few houses up from him is a man raising chickens. I mean the coolest looking cluckers on the planet! I raised chickens as a teen and none of my egg makers looked like this. On this podcast I ask you very politely to just stop. That's it. Stop. We are we rushing so quickly to get back to a lifestyle where we never took the time to see other things? Always in a rush. I talk about sitting in my own forest. I planted seventeen hundred of these trees. I wasn't there to watch them grow thicker trunks. Nope too busy chasing a radio career. Someone once asked me, "Did you ever catch up to the career you were stalking?" Nowhere close. Yet the trees with all their universal songs tucked away in their leaves and needles have sat here waiting for me patiently. I honestly can't wait to see how the nation's going to change when career chasers finally make their way back to those business hallways. How many of them will last the year knowing life exists out here? Creating home offices could very easily become the norm. I believe in this so much that I'm having a conversation with Justin Burr today from Google who's a total expert in this field. I totally get that we need to buckle down and find focus on the business front. I only bring this up because maybe the new work week can include more time away from the office by way of doing it from home. My daughter's position is designed just like that. She gets to watch and participate with the growth of her two teens. What's that like? I mean! Wow! Yeah these are some strange times. The monster is still invisible and we're ready to jump in the middle. Back into a world where everything that made us feel great and live longer was man made. Hmmm. Then Mother Nature said, "I accept that challenge. Get ready for this."

Kimberla
Listen to "Kimberla Releases The Book The Woman God Created You To Be" on Spreaker.
ARE YOU THE REAL WOMAN GOD CREATED YOU TO BE?
HAVE YOU WANTED TO BECOME HER— SPIRITUALLY, PERSONALLY, and PROFESSIONALLY?
Kimberla Lawson Roby admits that for years, she wasn’t being the real woman God created her to be. Yes, she has always loved God and tried her best to honor Him, but what she eventually discovered was that building and maintaining her own personal relationship with God—and making Him her top priority—was the key to finding joy in all areas of her life.
Now, in The Woman God Created You to Be, Kimberla has bravely—and transparently— written about her flaws, fears, and failures, as well as her faith, courage, and successes. From experiencing divorce to marrying her soulmate of twenty-nine years…from hopelessly searching for the perfect job to becoming a New York Times bestselling author…from suffering in silence with anxiety to concentrating on self-care…from struggling with the loss of her mom to finding strength, comfort, peace. and understanding—Kimberla takes you on a journey that will help you do the following:
● Become the Best Spiritual You (Seven Days Per Week) ● Become the Best Personal You (Mentally, Emotionally, and Physically) ● Become the Best Professional You (Without Jeopardizing Your Faith)
Kimberla reminds us that when we trust and depend on God—heart, mind, and soul—He will empower us to do more than we ever thought imaginable. He will help us see that we are more than enough, and that He has already given us everything we need to become the women He created us to be—spiritually, personally, professionally…and beyond.
Kimberla’s books have frequented numerous bestseller lists, including The New York Times, USA Today, The Washington Post, ESSENCE, and Publishers Weekly magazines, Amazon.com, Barnes & Noble, Walmart and many others.
Play It Forward Episode 38
Listen to "Play It Forward Episode 38 Having The Voice To Say" on Spreaker.
Hey it’s Arroe. This is Play It Forward. A look at the unexpected changes endured by entertainers, writers, camera people and all others affected but not infected by the global invasion of the Coronavirus.
Real people. Real stories. The struggle to Play It Forward.
Episode 38: Having A Voice To Say
I’ve been blessed with the opportunity to share a lot of conversations with extremely creative lifestyles now dealing with the shutdown caused by Covid-19. In the beginning some people were afraid to talk about the final outcome of this very strange journey through time.
Fourteen year old Levi Watkins from NBC’s Voice knows of the current issues and pressures put into play on the paths of those that enjoy playing. His focus is still on one thing and will always lend his voice in the best way possible.
Another powerful talent from season 18 of NBC’s The Voice is Roderick Chambers. Not all creative people are social. Those that love the performance on a public stage are moving through a rare form of unsocial anxiety. How does someone like Roderick deal with everyday pretty much feeling like everything else before it?
When Darious Lyles chose to sing Come Together on NBC’s The Voice he didn’t realize the total impact of the performance until social media began to react in the moments after.
That’s Play It Forward I’m Arroe

A Lost Asylum

Dark Gothcore band A Lost Asylum returns to the music scene with their self-titled album, A Lost Asylum. The new release follows the 2018 album, entitled The Obsession. A Lost Asylum was produced by Tristan Anderson and is out now via Pavement Entertainment.
Lead vocalist Holly Watson says, "We took our love for emo and heavy, hard hitting music and combined them to create a new spin on emo. The album focuses on love, loss, and abuse. The inspiration for the album came from past personal experiences."
To celebrate the new release, A Lost Asylum premieres their music video for "Safe in Pieces," a dynamic track fresh from the new album. Watson delivers haunting melodies, and drummer Justin Bell provides brutal screams to conjure up the perfect storm of modern day emo. The video was made with Brave Productions and features Saryha Mussler and Alexander Farriell.
A Lost Asylum hails from Salt Lake City, UT. The band formed in 2016 and consists of Holly Watson (Lead Vocals), James Roake (Bass), Gil Menchaca (Guitar), Dante Long (Guitar), and Justin Bell (Drums/Unclean Vocals). They have built up a loyal fanbase by touring the West Coast, and hope to bring their brand of dark Gothcore music to people all around the world.
Pod-Crashing Episode 55
Listen to "Pod-Crashing Episode 55 Conversation With Steve Olsher Podcast Magazine" on Spreaker.
Pod-Crashing Episode 55: Conversation with Podcast Magazine Creator Steve Olsher
When I first got into podcasting in 2012 the days of being recognized as a communicator weren't bleak but a lot of top dogs in terrestrial radio weren't on board. I saw it as a great place to take radio station clients. It was no longer about purchasing 30 second commercials. Two clients bit into my vision to begin a process of sharing their stories. But I didn't know what I was doing. I was spoiled by the army of people who kept radio together and all I had to do was step up the microphone and do a four hour show. Podcasting came with a different set of expectations. The main being a little thing called where am I going to find listeners? Radio station consultants saw what I was trying to craft but it was always described as being that little thing that Arroe is participating with. Every episode was trial and error. Move the hands of time up to 2020 and now we have Podcast magazine. Not a training magazine for those performing the digital magic but as huge opportunity for podcast listeners to locate quality driven performances. That's another main issue. Listeners don't know where to look. You can leap over to Apple Podcast, iHeart Radio, Google or Podbean but unless you know what to look for most listeners end up sampling a podcast only to be delivered a rotten tomato. The creator of Podcast Magazine is Steve Olsher. His vision is totally organic and self-paced. Everybody seems to want to build a project then quickly capitalize on making a profit. Not so true with Steve. Develop the monthly magazine first by building up the readers. This truly is meant for podcast fans and followers that really get into the likes of Ronan Farrow to Marc Maron, Joe Rogan and countless others still waiting to be located. Steve is offering a brilliant first step to a brand new beginning to offering lifetime members to the magazine. Once inside that's where the connection begins.
