A show where I spoke with Between You & Me, Jordan Nash and Lily Kincade!
We have a new duo on the show today; [mila]! CJ Lawlor and Wren Mohammed connected over their love for music and eventually, with Wren at the helm, started to imagine what their project would look and sound like. Enter the alternative-pop sound of [mila]! In this episode, they share how Wren’s encouragement brought CJ out of her shell, how they named the project, and everything about the debut single, “Thuong Qua Is Vietnamese For I Love You.” They have great energy and shared great advice on communicating better in meaningful relationships. Keep an eye out for this pair; they’re fantastic!
The numbers are in, and The Weeknd has set a new record. The Guinness Book of World Records has named him the Most Popular Artist in the World. This title is based on what’s been happening over on Spotify. He is the first artist to ever hit 100 million listeners in a month, and that number has already grown to 111 million. As of now, he is seemingly untouchable. The runner-up, Miley Cyrus, has 82.4 million listeners a month. The others that are fairly up there are Shakira, Ariana Grande, Taylor Swift, Rihanna, and Ed Sheeran. While he’s in good… Read more »
A show where The Goo Goo Dolls called in, Prentiss stopped by and KANNER co-hosted!
It’s hard enough to make it in a competitive industry when you’re young. But if you’re also a person of color and/or part of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community, it can feel next to impossible. For Meet Me @ The Altar—a trio of young women of color, two of whom are queer—the only way around those industry hurdles is through them. “We’re the perfect mesh of like almost every single type of person in the world,” says vocalist Edith Victoria. I’m catching up with the band over Zoom, the day before their debut full-length, Past // Present // Future, is set to… Read more »

For our latest episode, Brooklyn duo Stolen Jars (Cody Fitzgerald and Sarah Coffey) joins me to discuss their new music, how validation fits into our lives, and much more. We also discussed Cody’s role with the UMAW Union of Musicians & Allied Workers, an international union of music workers fighting for a more just music industry and a better society—as well as Sarah’s comedy and hysterical TikTok page.
A show where Quinton Griggs co-hosted plus Beauty School Dropout and Flycatcher and YOU called in!
“I don’t know where you begin but it’s where I wanna end” Is there anything better than a beloved band returning after years away and delivering a no-skip album? I don’t think so—and apparently, Beach Weather agrees. Formed in 2015 and releasing two (excellent) EPs before going on hiatus in 2017, Beach Weather—Nick Santino, Reeve Powers, and Sean Silverman—re-emerged in late 2021 and now they’re officially back with their debut full-length, Pineapple Sunrise. Before we get any further, I have to confess that I’ve been a Nick Santino stan (a Stantino, if you will) since I started listening to his… Read more »
Movies are a cornerstone of our lives. So is music. We spend countless hours consuming both mediums for enjoyment. It’s no secret that film has inspired musicians over the years.
