Songs My Ex Ruined Podcast: Memories Through Music
When someone says, "let's start a music podcast," that path can take multiple forks in the road. You can end up with a music podcast that's like a thousand others, only you think because you and your high school friend are on it, it's special.

Is 'One' By Metallica the Best Music Video of All Time?
I've developed a new YouTube/Tik Tok obsession, music reaction content. Whether it's Vocal Coaches reacting to the songs of my youth or Millennials and Gen-Z hearing a song I have loved for years for the first time and sharing their deeply emotional, intellectual, and honest reactions, I cannot get enough. I started with watching people react to Queen's Bohemian Rhapsody, a rollercoaster of a song and I became hooked on how I know what they are about to experience and they don't and imagining how they will react.

A James Bond Musical Mystery
Not every song written for a James Bond movie actually makes into the movie. It's not unusual for there to be multiple rejected theme songs. An archetypal song was Mr. Kiss Kiss Bang Bang, by Shirley Bassey. also sung by Dionne Warwick, that was intended as a theme for Thunderball.
