The Past, Present, and Future of Reality TV with Calum Marsh
When reality tv took over the world in the early 00's many people thought it was just going to be a fad. There was no way these shows could last, right? More than two decades later and reality programming is alive and well. Journalist and author Calum Marsh has a new book titled, "True Lies: The Art Of Reality Television." He pulls back the curtain on the genre by talking to the camera operato
Shane Maziekien from Turn Two on Rediscovering Passion
For a long time it was said that punk rock was a young man's game. Being in a punk band was something you did in high school or your early to mid 20's. But at some point you have to grow up and become an adult. It's a tale as old as time. So, what happens to all of those punks when they get older? Turns out a lot of them are picking back up their guitars. Shane Maziekien is the drummer for t
Introducing Mitch Rip
Over the last few months I've fallen back in love with music. I turned my TikTok account into a music discussion. Check it out @stpierreonair.Through this experiment I've been able to discover a lot of new, and developing, artists, and I've made some great connections. I'm going to have a lot of these artists on the podcast.The first one is Mitch Rip. He dropped a song late in 2025 called 'Hot
Conspiracies and Conspiracy Theories with Uncover Up's Lee Kuhnle & Nathan Radke
I love a good conspiracy theory and the discourse that can surround it. But, doesn't it feel like conspiracy theories are becoming much more rampant? The stories are starting to get larger and wilder. I saw a neighbor on the nextdoor app blame potholes in our neighborhood on an evil cabal of blood drinking democrats. Feels like a stretch to me.Lee Kuhnle and Nathan Radke have been hosting the
The Unskippables - Tyler CHilders' "Purgatory" with Sheyna Gee
Most of the time when I ask artists about albums that inspired them they will reference an artist or album that came out when they were younger. Or, maybe one that came out when they were learning how to play music. They tend to be choices that had a major impact on their growth with music. In today's episode, country artist Sheyna Gee and I will talk about Tyler Childers' 2017 release "Purgato
The Unskippables - Eric Church's "The Outsiders" with Payton Smith
It's been a long hiatus but my series called The Unskippables is back. I speak with a musician about an album they think is perfect from start to finish. An album with no skips. This week I caught up with my old friend Payton Smith. I say "old" because I met him 7 years ago, but he's still 26. I've been following his career since he was a teenager. Payton is such an impressive songwriter and
Taylor Austin Dye
I'm excited to welcome country singer Taylor Austin Dye to the show. If you're not familiar with her work, I hope you'll check it out (after you're done listening to the podcast). I know you'll be very happy with what you hear. Taylor is poised to make some big waves in the country world over the next year as she's out there with her first radio single, "Man For That." In this episode we discus
"Backstage Pass" and the WWE with David Sahadi
The man behind so many of the incredible promos and branding of 90's WWE (and WWF), David Sahadi, takes some time to talk about his history and time in the world of wrestling. We discuss his new memoir, "Backstage Pass: Tales From Beyond The Squared Circle." His story is great. He literally was the reason the WWF went from an entity that was kind of a joke in the sports world to a massive organ
The Book Of Eastbay with Art Juedes & Rick Gering
It brings me so much joy to have an opportunity to speak with the founders of the Eastbay catalog. The days that the catalog appeared in the mailbox were the best days. I spent so much time looking through each sneaker, reading all of the descriptions, and circling the shoes I wanted the most. Art Juedes and Rick Gering founded Eastbay and they are sharing their story in the new book, "The Book
"It's Only Forever: Labyrinth" with Jes Battis
For a certain generation of people the movie Labyrinth, originally released in 1986, still holds a very special place in their hearts. Taken at face value the film is a fun (maybe fun isn't the right word) romp through an imaginary world filled with goblins, fairies, smelly bogs, and other interesting creatures. But, maybe there's a lot more to this film that has helped it stand the test of time.
Tiktok's Professor T on Keeping Music Stories Alive
My feed on Tiktok is filled with music, some politics and horny national parks. You can look that last one up yourself. The music content has been giving me so much joy. I love discussing music with people, and reminiscing about the songs, and artists, that I've loved over the years. Recently my algorithm started showing me videos from Professor T. I've really enjoyed his content. Not only i
Ryan Henrdicks On Smallside & Launching A Fashion Brand
Back in December my fyp on TikTok started showing me these videos of a guy talking about a new clothing brand he was designing and launching. The brand is called Smallside. His goal was to sell the clothing and use the proceeds to give back to the community by turning small forgotten spaces into soccer fields. I became very interested in his progress. Eventually I wanted to find out more about
Josh Sullivan On The Failure Of The Olympic Women's Slopestyle Snowboarding Event
If you watched any of the Olympic snowboarding competitions you may have noticed the same thing I did. These elite athletes, the best in the world, were struggling to land their signature tricks and runs. One could take that as they were trying to go big for the gold and just didn't have "it" that day. But, you could also take a look at the conditions on the mountain in Italy and realize maybe it
Raised On Radio with Paul Rees
There's a magic and intrigue about rock music and radio from the mid to late 70's into the 80's. I'm talking Foreigner, Boston, Journey, Genesis and so many more in the genre known as AOR. That stands for Album Oriented Rock. Paul Rees has published an incredible oral history of those years with his new book, "Raised On Radio: Power Ballads, Cocaine and Payola - The AOR Glory Years." I'm a bit
Choreplay with Jordan Carlos
I'm joined this week by comedian Jordan Carlos. He discusses his new book Choreplay: The Marriage Saving Magic Of Getting Your Head Out Of Your Ass. In it he shares his personal story of how he realized if he didn't step up more around the house he might just lose his family. Jordan's brutal honesty, and comedic timing, make this a true joy to read. I hope you enjoy our conversation.
Fenway Punk With Chris Wrenn
Between the years of 1999-2004 there was no bigger rivalry in sports than that of the Boston Red Sox and New York Yankees. These two storied baseball teams have always had a bitter rivalry, but it hit new levels during this five year period.A group of guys from Boston's vibrant punk rock scene decided to take advantage of this by selling shirts and stickers with the slogan "Yankees Suck." It was
Epic Disruptions With Scott D. Anthony
The word 'disruptor' has a distinct connotation. It tends to be tied to Silicon Valley and the tech world. It's the whole 'move fast and break things' mantra. But, there have been disruptors throughout history. Any time something new comes along and throws the world, and culture, into a frenzy, that's a disruptor. Things like the printing press, iPhone and even things like the disposable diap
Don't Be Yourself With Dr. Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic
Authenticity was the word of the year in 2023. Everyone wants to be their authentic, or true, selves. But, does there come a time when that isn't beneficial to you? The workplace is a great example. This week I'm joined by Dr. Tomas Chamorro-Premuzic. He recently published a book called "Don't Be Yourself: Why Authenticity Is Overrated And What To Do Instead." I wasn't sure how I'd feel abou
Do More In Four with Jared Lindzon
You may have heard a conversation growing about changing the standard workweek from 5 days down to 4. 32 hours a week instead of 40. In just about every test, or trial, companies have found that a shorter workweek has benefitted them. As did their employees. But the 4 day workweek hasn't quite caught on yet. Maybe that's going to change.Jared Lindzon teamed up with Joe O'Connor to write a book
The Unskippables - Foxy Shazam with Chad Michael Jervis
I did not see this one coming. When I came up with the idea for this show, I knew I'd be surprised by some of the album picks made by my guests. But in no world did I expect to have a discussion about Foxy Shazam. I'm so glad we did! Joining me today is Chad Michael Jervis. Chad spent a few years as a member of the country group King Callaway. Prior to that he was in the band The House On Th
Welcome To The Fast and Furious Family with Barry Hertz
Please enjoy my conversation with Barry Hertz, author of the new book "Welcome To The Family: The Explosive Story Behind Fast and Furious, the Blockbusters That Supercharged The World."
The Unskippables - August and Everything After with Josh Partington
Welcome to the first episode of The Unskippables Podcast. This show is all about our favorite albums. The albums that have no skips.

I'd like to invite you to check out my new show, The Unskippables, part of the Adult Education Podcast Network. The premiere episode is launching 11/24/25
The Oral History Of The Vampire Diaries With Samantha Highfill
I still remember the promo ads for The Vampire Diaries. It came out at a time when Vampires were all the rage. But did the world really need more vampire entertainment? Turns out the answer was yes. The Vampire Diaries premiered on The CW in 2009 and became an almost instant success. Entertainment Weekly's Samantha Highfill just released a fantstic book taking all of us fans on a nostalgic loo
Stephanie Burt On Taylor's Version
In 2006 Taylor Swift officially entered the conversation with the release of her debut album. It would take a little time (very little) but she soon would be dominating the music landscape. It started out as a domination of country music. Then it expanded as her songs crossed over to pop radio and MTV success. And now she's arguably the biggest star on the planet.There are legions of fans that
The Dominance Of The NFL With Ken Belson
The NFL is king in America. And it's starting to spread its wings even further with multiple international games in multiple countries around the world. But it wasn't always this massive juggernaut. A series of smart decisions, and a lot of luck, thrust the league into the spotlight in a major way. Journalist Ken Belson has been following the league for many years and has taken a deep dive int
The Pitch Performance with Billy Harte
Over the summer my family and I went on a vacation to Europe. We spent about 7 days in Spain before wrapping up in Portugal. During my time there I wanted to get a t-shirt for a soccer team from each city we stopped in. I got something in Valencia and Seville. But it's the shirt I got in Lisbon that has been creating a bit of an issue for me. I got a shirt for the team Benfica. Every time I
Like: The Button That Changed the World with Martin Reeves
There have been a lot of inventions over the last couple of decades that have changed the world. I could spend countless words describing them. But there is one that may fly under the radar, and may not grab your attention. I'm talking about the Like button. Maybe it's a thumbs up, or a heart or some other apparatus to show your approval. But it doesn't stop there. What maybe was created as
Jesusland with Joelle Kidd
When I was 18 years old I found myself, accidentally, at a Christian music festival in New Hampshire. It was called the Inside Out Soul Festival. I was invited to a weekend music festival and thought it would be fun. It wasn't until I got there that I realized what I was getting myself into. It was a learning experience for me. It was the first time I had really experienced Christian pop cult
It Can't Rain All The Time: A Discussion About 'The Crow' With Alisha Mughal
Do you ever talk about your favorite things through top 5 lists? Like, you have your top 5 tv shows, or top 5 songs, etc. No? Just me? Cool.When I look back at my favorite movies and soundtracks, you'll find The Crow in the top 5 of both categories. The film still makes me feel emotions I didn't think possible. It's such a heavy film to me even 31 years after its release. Maybe watching it
How The Y2K Era Changed The World With Colette Shade
In the same way that we use B.C. and A.D. to describe time and eras, I think we should have a new way to describe pre-2000 and post-2000. The world started to shift in ways that were never imaginable when we entered into the 21st century. We never got our flying cars and hoverboards (well, REAL hoverboards). Instead we got social media, fake news and consumerism at insane levels.I want to conti
Veronica Litt On The Cultural, And Lasting, Impact Of Clueless
I'm still not comfortable with referencing things from my youth as 'nostalgia.' But here we are. I'm taking us on a trip down memory lane to a magical time called 'The 90's.' With me today is educator, and author, Veronica Litt. She's penned a new book about the classic pop culture gem Clueless. The book is called, 'Ugh! As If?' Can you even think of a better title? Despite on its face look
Finding New Passion In Music With Ray Harkins
I've been trying for a long time to find an excuse to have this guest back on the show. I'm excited to welcome back singer and podcaster Ray Harkins. He's the host of the '100 Words Or Less' podcast and he's the frontman of the new hardcore band Bloodguilt. Bloodguilt kind of popped up out of nowhere. I just started seeing Ray posting about it on social media one day and I was shocked. But th
Luke Smith On Formula One with 'On The Grid'
Like millions of other people during the pandemic, I discovered the Netflix series 'Drive To Survive' and became obsessed. I knew almost nothing about Formula One besides the content that I'd occasionally see covered on Sports Center back in the day. But DTS brought me back in. It's not even the racing that really revs my engine. I'm more interested in the behind the scenes drama. Who is going
The Business of Taylor Swift with Kevin Evers
If I had to give you a few topics that I'm always down to discuss, Taylor Swift would come in near the top of the list. There are so many aspects to her unbelievable career that we could dive into. Today we're stepping into the business of Taylor Swift. Kevin Evers, editor at the Harvard Business Review, has put together a fascinating book about the behind the scenes of Taylor's career. It's c
Lollapalooza with Richard Bienstock and Tom Beaujour
I can't tell you how many days and hours I spent in dusty, or paved, parking lots in various cities watching the Warped Tour. It was a part of my summer every year for about a decade. I wouldn't miss it. As much joy as I found at the Warped Tour, it never would've happened without Lollapalooza.First launched in 1991 as a farewell tour for Janes Addiction, Lollapalooza ended up launching a serie
Trousdale On Finding A Voice, New Music and Touring
Do you remember that old SNL skit with Chris Farley where he would interview famous people? It was so uncomfortable, but yet funny. He would act like a nervous fan. For example, he interviewed Paul McCartney once and said, "You remember when you were with the Beatles? That was awesome."I was very concerned that this interview might go down the same path. I'm such a fan of the guests on this e
Ted Lasso With Jeremy Egner
Ted Lasso was a brilliant show that came into the world at the time that we all needed it. It launched in 2020 during the height of the pandemic. Everyone was trapped at home feeling helpless, having anxiety and in need of some cheering up. Welcome Ted Lasso. This show was the unlikely success story during a wild time. I loved it from day one and still rewatch the series from time to time when
First Time Caller with B.K. Borison
I had such a fun time with this week's guest, author B.K. Borison. I came across her latest novel, First Time Caller, kinda by accident. It was sitting in my radio station and caught my eye. I tell the full story in the podcast so I won't share all the details here. But I found out that Borison is from Baltimore, where I live, and the book is about a radio dj, which is my full time job. I jus
99% Perspiration with Adam Chandler
We've all heard all the stories about work. We've been told since we were kids that if we work hard that we'll see success, and if we don't, it's because we did something wrong. Or, that we're not working hard enough. We've heard tales from older generations about how they came to this country with nothing but the clothes on their back and turned that into millions.What if I told you that stori
Neil Shubin Takes Us To The Ends Of The Earth
In my first episode back in quite some time, I figured I'd take you on a journey to the literal ends of the earth. Today I'm speaking with scientist, educator and author Neil Shubin. He's spent much of his life doing research in the Arctic and Antarctica. These are some of the last remaining untouched areas in this world. In his latest book, titled 'Ends of the Earth: Journeys to the Polar Reg
Adult Education Is Back!!!
Hey everyone! I know it's been a while (almost 10 months) but I'm back. I did some soul searching and research into the show and realized it's time to dive back into some fun and interesting conversations. It's time for new topics and brand new episodes! They'll start launching the first week of February!
Emily Ballesteros on The Cure For Burnout
I'm excited to share today's episode with author Emily Ballesteros. She's published a book about burnout called 'The Cure For Burnout: How To Find Balance And Reclaim Your Life.' For some reason people tend to wear their stress, business and burnout like a badge of honor. But why? Why do we feel more special because we're burnt out? Emily Ballesteros has spent the last few years studying the
Lisa Gardner on Still See You Everywhere
Such a pleasure to have the return of Lisa Gardner to the Adult Education Podcast. I've fallen in love with her latest character, Frankie Elkin, and her series of books. The first one came out in 2021, and was followed up in 2022 with book two. But then 2023 came and went without a new book. I started to get worried that the Frankie series may be over and done with.Turns out, it almost was. I
Hannah Ellis On 'That Girl'
Today's guest is the amazingly talented Hannah Ellis. I first met her a couple of years ago and was immediately impressed with her poise and attitude. Her music is a true reflection of who she is. Fast forward to 2024 and she dropped her debut album titled 'That Girl.' It's definitely a contender for album of the year in my opinion. There are so many layers to this record and so and a lot of
Nichole Dandrea-Russert On Vegan Athlete Nutrition

Dr. Mariel Buque On Intergenerational Trauma
My guest this week is psychologist Dr. Mariel Buque. We're discussing intergenerational trauma. No, this isn't the trauma you feel when your parents ask you when you're going to give them a grandbaby. We're talking about things a little bit deeper than that.Honestly, I'd never heard the term intergenerational trauma before. It was a pleasure to speak with Dr. Buque and learn more about her wor
How Not To Age with Dr. Michael Greger
Welcome to 2024. We're kicking off the year with a conversation with Dr. Michael Greger.He's the author of many books, most notably his book 'How Not To Die.' I've seen this book on so many reading lists, and I've seen Dr. Greger's name in the credits of so many books. He's definitely someone that the health community keeps tabs on.Dr. Greger recently published his latest book titled 'How Not To
Rob Harvilla on 60 Songs That Explain The 90's
I'm so excited for this conversation with Rob Harvilla. he's the host of my favorite podcast, '60 Songs That Explain The 90's'.

Looking up the latest episode is the first thing I do when I wake up on Wednesday morning. Rob is getting ready to wrap up the series with his 120th episode
Alex Hall On His Wild Ride Through Country Music
My guest this week is Alex Hall. He's a rising star in country music, but don't let that fool you. This didn't happen overnight. Alex first started playing shows around age 14 and at one point was playing over 100 shows a year during high school. He's been working very hard to get to this point where he just released his debut album, 'Side Effects Of The Heart.'It was a pleasure catching up wi
Morgan Evans On Taking Country Music International
This week I get the pleasure of chatting with an old friend. Morgan Evans is my guest. I've been lucky enough to see Morgan live many times over the last 6 or so years and we've developed a bit of a relationship. I'm not just a fan of his music, I'm also a fan of him as a human.So, it was great to catch up with him for this week's episode. We primarily talk about what it's like to be an intern
Chloe Elise On Ditching Money Shame
Joining me today is the CEO and Founder of 'Deeper Than Money,' Chloe Elise. I always struggle with conversations about money. It's such a personal conversation that can lead to some awkward interactions. But, I came across Chloe's new book and knew we had to connect. The book is called 'Deeper Than Money: Ditch Money Shame, Build Wealth and Feel Confident AF.' The key word for me is 'Shame.'
Chris Lane On New Chapter In His Career
I had a chance to catch up with country artist Chris Lane for this week's episode. Chris was sitting on top of the country charts before the pandemic took hold of the world. Like so many other artists, the shut downs really slowed down his momentum. Between that, getting married, having kids and some label issues, Chris decided to take a step back for a time to reevaluate his situation and what
Fandango's Erik Davis on The Box Office
This week I'm joined by Fandango managing editor Erik Davis. It's always fun to chat with someone who loves movies more than I do. I have so many fond memories of being at the theater with family and friends. I got to nerd out a little bit with Erik.But I really wanted to talk to him because I wanted to discuss how the box office is doing. The movie theater industry has certainly had a few big
Monica Medellin on Surf Girls Hawaii
I'm joined by director and producer Monica Medellin. She's the brain behind Amazon Prime Video's new series 'Surf Girls Hawaii.' I've been fascinated by this show and have already watched it twice all the way through. I've always had this rabid interest in surfing, despite the fact that I've never done it before. I went into Surf Girls Hawaii expecting to love the surfing and action of the spo
Leah Marie Mason On Being A Black Sheep
Joining me today is singer/songwriter Leah Marie Mason. I was first introduced to her through seeing her work with Jason and Nelly Reeves. They're two of my favorite artists, so I figured I'd love Leah. I was right. Her music is so special to me on many different levels. Most of which I can't put into words. Her latest release is a song called 'Black Sheep.' It takes a look back at her time
Nathan Pyle On Strange Planet
Today's guest is illustrator and artist Nathan Pyle. I was first introduced to him through an Instagram post that was shared with me. It showed some real life pigeons walking around on the street, but Nathan had added captions and stickers to it to create a story. I don't remember exactly what was happening but I remember loving it. I followed him on Instagram and my life was forever changed.
Maria Ahlin And A Conversation About Porn
This is a repost of an earlier episode that I shared in November of 2020. I've always thought it deserved a second chance at being heard since I posted it on the same day as the 2020 US presidential election. And we all know how that went. I hope you enjoy my conversation with Maria Ahlin. Below are the original show notes.If I'm being honest, I never thought I'd be talking about porn in one o
Tyler Rich finding country music, using his punk rock work ethic and more!
I met Tyler Rich back in 2019. Have you ever had one of those moments where you meet someone and you feel this instant connection with them? That's how I felt about Tyler. We had a connection over our love of Huskies, our histories in rock music and our love of music in general. Since that meeting we've stayed in touch through social media. But I've always wanted to get him on the show. Than
HunterGirl on Before, During And After American Idol
Today I'm pleased to be joined by American Idol's HunterGirl. I'll admit that I didn't watch any of Season 20, where she was the runner up. But I've become a fan since learning more about her. Hunter has a killer voice and an incredible personality and stage presence. I have a feeling we'll all be hearing about her for many years to come.In our conversation we talk about where HunterGirl came
Simone Stolzoff On The Good Enough Job
This week I'm discussing work culture with journalist and author Simone Stolzoff.It seems like work has gotten out of control. People introduce themselves at dinner parties with their job title, working long hours and having stress is a badge of honor to people and we're expected to drop everything when our boss calls.If you think it all sounds toxic, you're right. Yet, we all continue to operat
Siggy From Outrun The Dark
This week I'm joined by the founder of running apparel company Outrun The Dark, Siggy. When I started becoming an active runner I used it to escape some of the hard times I was having in my personal life. Once my feet hit the pavement, or treadmill, I was lifted out of the darkness that was going on and I focused solely on my run and progress. I didn't realize at the time how many other people
Sarafina El-Badry Nance On Starstruck
I'm so pleased this week to be able to speak with astrophysicist Sarafina El-Badry Nance. I went to Villanova University as an Astronomy and Astrophysics major.

Kelly Ogden Of The Dollyrots
This conversation is some 20 years in the making. I've been such a fan of The Dollyrots over the years but have never had the chance to see or speak with them. I was so excited to finally have a chance to sit down and talk with Kelly Ogden.In this conversation we discuss a lot, but the topics include the band's new music, Kelly's time as a radio DJ and what life is like on the road now that ther
Visor Library - D - Deftones 'Around The Fur'

Erin Kinsey On Her Journey In Country Music
This week I'm joined by rising country star Erin Kinsey. For my money she's one of the best young voices coming out of Nashville. I had a chance to meet her about a year ago and since then I've wanted to share her story with everyone.In this conversation we discuss her love of music and decision to pursue it full time, her move to Nashville at just 17 years old and what it's like as an artist to
Visor Library - C - Cave In 'Until Your Heart Stops'
As we get into the letter C, I dive into Cave In's legendary album 'Until Your Heart Stops'. This album has had such a major impact on me and my love of music. It changed the trajectory for the genre and may have even created a new genre. To this day Cave In are still one of the most revered artists in heavy music, and 'Until Your Heart Stops' is a big reason why.
The Plant Love Kitchen with Marisa Moore
I'm a dad now. I can't tell you how many times I've told my 2-year-old that she needs to eat her vegetables. I think it's a phrase that automatically enters your vocabulary once you become a parent.But it's true. You need to eat your vegetables. There are so many important vitamins and nutrients that come from vegetables. They benefit our health in so many different ways. Yet we always seem t
Visor Library - B - Beach Boys
Episode two of my Visor Library project takes us back to the 60's with the classic Beach Boys album 'Pet Sounds.' When you're a teenager, old stuff isn't cool. You always want to have the newest and shiniest of things. Loving The Beach Boys didn't do me any favors when it came to popularity. But I've always loved 'Pet Sounds.' It's an album that spent a significant amount of time in my visor o
Grow The Fuck Up With Sarah Knight

She's behind the mega-popular No Fucks Given Guides, which include books like 'The Life Changing Magic Of Not Giving A Fuck' and 'Get Your Shit Together'. She's now on to her 6th full length book in the series titled 'Grow The Fuck Up: How To Be An Adult And Get Treated Like One.'This book takes the reader on a slightly d
Microjoys with Cyndie Spiegel
You know the old phrase, 'You need to stop and smell the roses.' That's the basis for today's conversation. We get so wrapped up in our lives that we forget about those beautiful little things that surround us. Cyndie Spiegel is the author of the book 'Microjoys: Finding Hope (Especially) When Life Is Not Ok.' She's gone through a lot since the start of the pandemic from deaths to cancer diagn
Alexandra Robbins on The Teachers
Investigative journalist and author Alexandra Robbins joins me this week to discuss her new book, 'The Teachers: A Year Inside America's Most Vulnerable, Important Profession.' This conversation hits close to home for me because my mother was a teacher and my wife is a teacher. I've been surrounded by them my whole life, and some of the people who shaped my career were teachers. I hate to see w
