Alyssa Goss And Candice Renee
Listen to "Alyssa Goss and Candice Renee From Bruh On BET+" on Spreaker.
Tyler Perry's Bruh, an original dramedy series on the BET+ streaming service, examines the world of dating, career and friendship through the lens of four African American men with a brother-like bond. John, Tom, Mike and Bill are four college friends now in their thirties, who are learning to stand on their own two feet, while relying on each other for support. Sometimes the love is tough, and the honesty brutal, but no matter the situation, they see each other through with levity and laughter. The show depicts a healthy image of black brotherhood; embracing vulnerability without playing on stereotypical hypermasculinity.
In addition to the male stars, the show also features strong female characters. Only July 9, two of the ladies of Tyler Perry's Bruh will be available to discuss the popular series. Alyssa Goss -- who plays Mike's girlfriend Pamela -- previously starred as Bobby Brown's wife Alicia in the BET mini-series The Bobby Brown Story, and played the female lead in the irreverent comedy How High 2. Candice Renee -- who plays Regina, the ex-girlfriend that Bill wants back -- can be seen in the current seasons of both Insecure and Westworld on HBO as well as the feature film Bodied produced by Eminem.
The two can discuss what's in store for the exciting mid-season finale, their experiences working with Tyler Perry, and the positive depictions of African American characters -- both men and women -- that the show creates.

There are no two forests the same. You can’t say a collection of trees is just another collection of trees. I’m sure you’ve noticed the amazing amount of people that have taken up walking outdoors during this Covid-19 continuation of shutdowns. Many walkers, bicyclists and joggers have hit the greenways and forests to locate their personal place of escape. On this podcast episode we revisit a forest I’ve heard nothing about, never seen yet often think of it as if it’s right in front of me. The forests of Germany during World War II. My father led many men through those trees. While in battle they had to keep their strength focused on defending as well as surviving. I know what I pull from the power of a tree in 2020. What moved through him during those moments of leadership and skill? He never spoke of the forests. In fact he never spoke of his days in battle. His life was lived like he took a vacation to Vegas. What happens there stays there. What we are failing to do in this moment of now is turning to the men and women who’ve been a huge part of this nation’s security. They know where to go when challenged with enormous amounts of uncertainty. Ask a Vet. This is a brilliant time to start having conversations. To learn from their efforts of facing the wall and knowing that no matter what happens they’ll be one step closer to victory. Reach for the experience of a Vet. The forests that they walked within. A forest of commands, orders, purpose and execution. There wasn’t time to sit around trying to turn nothing into more nothing. The mission was to make the move and stay focused on the conclusion. To face what couldn’t have been predicted. To not wait for debate to create the answer but to find the solution. Include a Vet in your journey through this. You don’t need to remind yourself every day that Covid is still looming. You don’t need to visit CNN.com to see how the protests in cities are getting closer to your front door. Yes the government and radio talk show hosts are finally saying we are in a financial recession. The men and women on the forefront of locating lasting peace don’t break down into several layers of excuses. My father, a tough SOB didn’t play games with reality. A Vet leads. It’s time to sit down and have a conversation with one or many. Talk to the men and women who know what it’s like to fight for this nation.

Real people. Real stories. The struggle to Play It Forward.
Episode 95: Synergy…
When word reached them in Australia that the world of music and all other forms of arts and business were quickly closing around the world, Janet Gardner and Justin James knew instantly that they were being called to a different stage.
Just because the planet strapped itself into lockdown, that didn’t mean these two singer songwriters were going to sit around playing with the Tik Tok app or be glued to a pair of news headline shoes.
They wrote and recorded music. They continue to write and record music. An overflowing vault of sound. And they laugh it off by calling it a drug with no cure.
That’s Play It Forward. You can listen to the full conversations with these artists on three different podcasts. Like Its Live, Unplugged and Totally Uncut and View from the Writing Instrument found on all digital platforms.

Pod-Crashing Episode 67 with Jake Brennan from Disgraceland
I still believe my fascination and deep dedication to podcasting is due to the love affair I had as a child listening to Radio Mystery Theater on KGHL in Billings, Montana. I could physically see, feel and hear everything painted onto that canvas.
Disgraceland knows how to share a story. Jake digs into the journey of musicians getting away with murder and behaving very badly. Episodes that trace the most insane criminal stories surrounding our most interesting and infamous pop stars.
Disgraceland melds music history, true crime and transgressive fiction. It’s not journalism. Its entertainment inspired by true events. However, certain scenes, characters and names are sometimes fictionalized for dramatic purposes.
We are Unplugged and Totally Uncut with Jake Brennan…
James Murr Murray
Listen to "James Murr Murray Releases The Book Obliteration" on Spreaker.
Just a few months ago, master of comedy James S. Murray-known to fans as "Murr"-starred in IMPRACTICAL JOKERS: THE MOVIE, which ended its second weekend in wide release with a total of over $11 million, and celebrated the highest per-screen average among major releases. Murr is also known for his hysterical comedy work in truTV's immensely popular Impractical Jokers program, holding strong as the #1 unscripted comedy on television; the first 4 seasons of Impractical Jokers will also be released on HBO Max, launching May 27th. Murr is also proud to be starring in TBS's hilarious show The Misery Index, which recently kicked off its second season, and "Impractical Jokers: Dinner Party," a brand new show on truTV where the Tenderloins bring their signature quirky humor to quarantine, which premiered May 21st.
In addition to his film and TV work, Murr is back with OBLITERATION (Harper Voyager; June 23, 2020), the third chilling installment in the international bestselling Awakened series he has written with celebrated science fiction author Darren Wearmouth. Asked how he got into writing this exciting series of novels, Murr says it was the culmination of a lifelong passion.
"I've been a huge fan of science fiction and horror my entire life, and AWAKENED draws inspiration from movies that scared the hell out of me like Alien, The Thing, Event Horizon, and The Descent. When I wrote the thriller, I wanted it to feel like an edge of your seat TV show or movie. It took over a year to finish and thirteen years to get published, and I've never been more passionate about a project in my life!"
The resulting novel, Awakened, exploded onto the scene. The terrifying premise: a new subway line, desperately needed in New York City was finally unveiled.but the excavation unleashed a scourge of murderous beasts.
Last year, the duo followed up with the blockbuster The Brink, which followed former NYC Mayor Tom Cafferty as he fought the demons of that fateful day when the Z-train subway unveiling became a massacre-as well as the subterranean creatures that were spreading across the globe. Cafferty took on Albert Van Ness, mastermind behind an insidious corporation that controlled the world from the shadows by harnessing the bloodthirsty monsters. The end of The Brink sees Van Ness imprisoned for his crimes, thanks to Cafferty, ex-NYPD officer Sarah Bowcut, and tech-expert Diego Munoz.
This summer Murr and Wearmouth return with OBLITERATION, a crescendo of creature horror and fast-paced thrills that ramps up the tension and terror higher than ever before!

Being the right place at the right time. We hear about it all the time from Rock Stars to Pro Sports Super Stars. Business leaders are no different. Being right there in the center of a moment that brought you forward. On this podcast episode we lean into this somewhat overused clarification. Cuz it always feels like someone other than us is in the right place at the right time. How about those plumbers, car mechanics, grocery store stockers and other essential job employees that haven’t missed a paycheck since Covid started. Right place at the right time? Those jobs that career chasers said they’d never do are working while millions of others are trying to figure out if the government is going to continue sending $600 a week unemployment checks. Teachers right now don’t want to think about being in the right place at the right time. They’re tucking in their chins and heading into the fire. Have I painted a large enough negative picture yet? Being in the right place means what to you? In 2020 where all things feel like they’re going wrong, is there enough room for an itty bitty victory that will help give you light in the darkness? This past Sunday. Sunrise. Walking down a long and winding road through a collection of trees. As the sun rose, its rays of light began to shine through the forest taking the shape of something special on the right side. There in front of me was the perfect picture of what life feels like. The road goes on and on but in that place just to right is what I captioned: God whispering, “Never stop trusting me.” Right place at the right time. Covid, the protesting and the financial crisis being the road. The rays of light representing an image of not being alone. Before taking the walk at sunrise I had just written in my daily writing, “I have never asked where are you God? It’s always been show me your image.” I’m not saying to stop questioning the source of your energy. Just ask to see it. We’re blinded by so much content and news that we’ve gotten used to the idea that it’s ok to stop relying on what we call reality versus what we assume is happening. In this moment of now. Right place. Right time. Don’t question it. Invite it into your right place at the right time.
