Evan’s endorsement of this book underscores the significance of Edmunds' narrative.GARBAGE BAG GIRL is a compelling memoir by Celeste L. Edmunds & co-authored by #1 New York Times Bestselling Author, Richard Paul Evans.This extraordinary book provides readers with an unfiltered and honest account of Edmund's tumultuous journey through a childhood filled with abuse, neglect, and a fractured family system. Edmunds shares her harrowing journey from darkness to advocacy, offering readers a poignant glimpse into the challenges she faced. Her childhood was marked by an ongoing cycle of police calls, fighting, and various forms of abuse. At the tender age of 7, Edmunds was taken into the state's care, entering a child welfare system that subjected her to frequent relocations, each new environment bringing its own set of abuse. Living out of a garbage bag became the norm, and by the time she reached 16, she had called more than 30 cities home."My childhood was a difficult and often unbearable experience where evil manipulation almost broke my spirit. But there were also caring people along the way who stepped in to do what they could to protect and nurture me," said Edmunds. "As an adult, I look back at those moments and realize that they saved my life. My goal is to help as many children as possible in the child welfare system and help to ensure that they have the opportunities for success that I was not provided.""Garbage Bag Girl" is a gripping first-person account that delves into Celeste Edmunds' life, a young woman who, against all odds, found strength and resilience in the face of adversity. Raised by drug-addicted parents, Edmunds learned to protect her siblings in a harsh environment filled with threats from rapists and drug dealers. The state eventually intervened, separating the family, and Edmunds was adopted into a dysfunctional home where she faced mistreatment from a sadistic mother. Contemplating drastic measures, she ran away, seeking shelter wherever she could until a compassionate woman extended a helping hand, offering her a safe and nurturing environment filled with love, and teaching her that is never too late to find “hoBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

“Tell Me This” opens with a winding Johnny Thunders-esque guitar solo, a Stones-like fury, and a lyrical nod to the Smiths. Vocalist and guitarist Peter Argyropoulos shares, “Tell Me This” was inspired by the intro guitar riff. It was a practice riff; something I came up with while doing guitar exercises. I fleshed it out with the chorus and brought it to the band. But it felt a little plain and we shelved it. Fast forward a few months. Marc Slutsky had joined the band and brought with him a wonderful energy, not to mention a thumping backbeat. I thought his playing could be a good match for Tell Me This. So, I brought it back to the band during our last rehearsal or two before recording the album. Marc dug in and did exactly as I has hoped, his spirit and chill intensity immediately lifted the song over the top. After reviewing rehearsal recordings that night, he called me and said he thought the song could be a single. Turns out he was right! First one from the album”. In addition to Argyropoulos the rest of the band’s line-up includes keyboardist Brina Kabler, guitarist Kevin Haaland (Skillet,) bassist Adam Kury (Candlebox,) and drummer Marc Slutsky who has toured and/or recorded with Third Eye Blind, Goo Goo Dolls, Peter Murphy, and Todd Rundgren. Runaway Emotions is Sons of Silver’s first full-length following a pair of EPs in 2020’s Doomsday Noises (which sported three spots on the Billboard Active Rock chart) and 2022’s Ordinary Sex Appeal, to be released through their own 4L Entertainment and distributed by Universal Music’s Group’s Bungalow label. In all, the band’s songs have collectively accumulated more than nine million views and streams. Self-produced by the group, the record was mixed by renowned producer/engineer Tim Palmer, whose credits include Robert Plant, David Bowie, and U2 to name a few. “These guys epitomize the essence of classic alternative rock,” says Palmer about working with the band. “Their music is fueled with both power and raw emotion, with genuinely profound lyrics. Their album is a treasure trove of well-crafted, memorable songs and I really enjoyed collaborating with them.” “For me, music is about capturing a spirit, an energy, a feeling,” says bassist Adam Kury. “The record is a warning, if we continue down this path, we’re doomed,” adds Argyropoulos. “But if you look at it from a different angle, we share more than we realize, even if we tend to focus on what separates us. At its best, rock ‘n’ roll brings us together, and celebrates what we have in common”.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

A rite-of-passage concept album with a young character called Travla at the centre of it, ‘The Circus And The Nightwhale’s’ 13 tracks have an autobiographical angle for the musician who says about his 30th solo release: “I love this album.

Changing The Design is the passionately-aggressive musical project developed by multi-instrumental, singer-songwriter, Alan D. Griffith.Changing The Design is founded on the truth that we are never truly who we were yesterday, and not quite who we will be tomorrow. Everything in life generates a specific energetic-nuance, which creates an emotional charge.Translating this emotional charge into profound lyrics and vocals, powerful guitars, evocative melodies and intense drums, Changing The Design utilizes music as the conduit to connect with people on a deeper level.Connection and expression are paramount to Changing The Design and this is evident in the latest album release, Soul Dissection Experiment. This release was produced and recorded by Tom Gordon (Whitesnake, Ozzy Osbourne), mixing by Sylvia Massy (Tool, System of a Down), and mastered by Reuben Cohen (Metallica, Incubus).Blending fierce hard rock songs with ethereal undertones, this Soul Dissection Experiment takes the audience on a personal journey ranging from artist perspective, passion, loss of life, the horror story of love and the universal human condition. Each piece evokes the timeless feelings of oneness and belonging, emphasizing the importance of self-expression and the freedom that comes with being who you truly are.When writing songs Alan is guided by emotion: “My writing is sparked by an overwhelming feeling or emotion that I can't quite explain or relieve. I will then sit and focus... With guitar in hand, I start playing to find which vibrations feel like the right connection to my emotion. When that powerful connection happens, the rest of the instruments fall into place in my brain. Once the music side has been meticulously written, I take time to reflect. I then write lyrics about the emotion I felt when I was writing the music.”But writing is only half of the equation, as the live show is where Changing The Design is truly able to portray the deep meaning of the songs, with an energetic and magnetic stage-presence. Accompanied by phenomenal drummer Brian Walden (Mnemonic, Days No Different) and bassist (Harold Gutierrez), this show is one that is not to be missed.Alan has spent years creating his art and in addition to playing, has extensive experience engineering and producing. Musical expression is the only way he knows to navigate this world and his goal is to transpose the universal feelings that we all feel but are unable to articulate.Always evolving, always changing, we are Changing The Design.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

In November 1972 as Ms. Magazine hit the newsstands with its inaugural issue, Joan Gelfand left the comforts of Forest Hills, NY and summers in the Catskills for a trip to San Francisco. That vacation became a journey that lasted a lifetime, and a moment in history that is unparalleled. In OUTSIDE VOICES: A Memoir of the Berkeley Revolution (January 28, 2024; Post Hill Press; ISBN: 979-8888450048; $28.99 Hardcover), Joan Gelfand, award-winning author and nationally acclaimed literary citizen, shares her story of awakening-artistically, sexually, and spiritually-during a radical time in a remarkable place. Writing with honesty and lyrical grace, Joan recounts a story of healing from devastating loss while honing her craft as a poet in the midst of cataclysmic social change in which the Beat Generation was born. Finding a 'room of her own' in a quiet, wood shingled house in Berkeley, she finds her tribe: like-minded feminists and artists. Says Joan, "Women are creating safe spaces where they can find their voices in art, books, music, recording, feminist theory, or just plain banging a hammer and competing in a world typically run by men."Bolstered by new friends Cloud, a poet and artist with a tinkling laugh, and Nancy, a working musician, Outside Voices gives a backstage view of artists and thinkers who went on to great things, including a young waitress named Suze (Orman), film maker Barbara Hammer, writers Judy Grahan, Gloria Andaluza, Pat Parker and musicians Mary Watkins, Linda Tillery and more. Hard on the heels of the Free Speech Movement, the Summer of Love and the Beats' disruption of culture and literature, Berkeley was a fertile proving ground. OUTSIDE VOICES tells the coming-of-age story of a damaged teenager putting the pieces back together as she explores independence and self-definition while grappling with sexuality, Jewish identity, and the lingering trauma of her father's death.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Alternative rock band The Great Alone drops Perception.Perception is an album that explores the intricate nature of perception through powerful and energetic rock melodies. Each song is meant to invite the listeners to dive into the depths of their psyche, confront tormenting nightmares, and navigate the dangers of obsession. Haunting memories, restlessness at nightfall, and the prison of the mind are addressed, providing introspective and thought-provoking experiences. The concept of perception combines the emotional part, but also everything that one can perceive with the eyes. The album combines ethereal and powerful vocals, impactful guitar riffs, energetic atmospheres and piano sequences to create a collection of songs that is meant to provoke contemplation, self- discovery, and an emotional response. At the end, the perception of the listeners will probably be different from one to another, but that’s the subjective aspect of the perception. With its blend of powerful and soothing elements, Perception should immerse listeners in a unique musical journey that resonates with the complexities of perception and leaves a lasting impression. The Great Alone will embark on a US tour with Powerman 5000 in March 2024.The Great Alone formed in the summer of 2018 with founding members Vinc' and Murielle.The band incorporates different atmospheres with layers of electronic sounds and choirs.The influences are vast and varied, both musically and vocally, ranging from movie soundtracks to rock, pop, metal, including the mystical sounds of certain Nordic artists.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Leaning on his over two decades of service in the Army, Taylor delivers his most timely and prescient thriller to date, pitting Pike Logan and the Taskforce against Putin and his henchman in an all-too-real scenario that could be ripped from today's headlines. To finally end the war between their nations, a rogue band of Ukranian partisans known as the Wolves teams up with members of Russia's military intelligence to assassinate Vladimir Putin. But Putin is aware of the traitors in his midst and assigns the loyal commander of the Russian national guard to root them out. It's a mission Victor Petrov is expected to undertake after he prevents Sweden from joining NATO-by assassinating a deputy minister of foreign affairs. After receiving intelligence about the threat in Sweden, the United States sends Pike Logan to identify Petrov's target-only for him to get caught in the crossfire between Putin's agents and the Wolves. When the smoke clears, Pike makes no effort to stop the Wolves on their ultimate mission, believing it just, until he discovers that their operation has unimaginable consequences. For Putin is preparing a devastating endgame: activating the Dead Man's Hand nuclear response that will launch Russia's missiles in the event of his death. . . This riveting new novel delivers top notch action with each turn of the page. Taylor incorporates current events involving the US military complex to deliver one of the most prophetic thrillers of 2024.

It is a world that most people think they know about, but what really happens behind closed doors, especially on some of America’s toniest college campuses, is largely hidden to outsiders.     Journalist Max Marshall aims to expose this elite world, examining both its allure and dark underside in his first book, ⁠AMONG THE BROS: A Fraternity Crime Story⁠ Marshall arrived on the campus of the College of Charleston in 2018 originally intending to investigate a small-time trafficking ring, but as he started reporting, it became clear that the scope of the crimes was far bigger than what was made public: several student deaths, a nationwide trafficking network, and the seizure of 21 million dollars’ worth of black-market Xanax. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Based on the award-winning, bestselling memoir from Mark Critch ("This Hour Has 22 Minutes"), SON OF A CRITCH is the hilarious and very real story of a young Mark coming of age in the 1980s. The series is a heartfelt window in the life of a child-who is much older inside than his 14 years-using comedy and self-deprecation to win friends and connect with the small collection of people in his limited world. The comedy stars Mark Critch as his father, Mike, and Benjamin Evan Ainsworth (Pinocchio) as young Mark. Claire Rankin (Molly's Game) stars as Mark's mother, Mary, alongside newcomers Sophia Powers and Mark Rivera, who play classmates of young Mark. Colton Gobbo ("Ginny & Georgia") plays Mark's older brother, Mike Jr., and Golden Globe® and SAG nominee Malcolm McDowell (A Clockwork Orange, Bombshell) also stars as Patrick "Pop" Critch. Mark has always been a late bloomer and in season 3, we see him finally start to bloom. As the season begins, we find that Mark has anxiously made his first awkward steps into junior high. Yes indeed. He's now in ninth grade and should be king of the castle. One year on top before the cycle starts anew in high school where he'll find himself once again at the bottom rung. Until then, ninth grade brings the promise of being the Big Man On Campus. But is Mark ready for junior high? When we first met Mark back in season 1, he had no idea how to navigate the school yard. But now, after three long years - he still has no idea how to navigate the school yard. He hasn't learned to fit in, but he has accepted the reasons why he stands out. While Fox (Sophia Powers) grows into a part-time parent role at home to fill in the gap left by her father and Ritche (Mark Rivera) grows ever more comfortable in his skin, Mark seems more than happy to cling onto the last few moments of childhood. But as our season grows, so does Mark. Pushed by his peers, he casts off the last vestiges of boyhood. It all culminates in the final episode when Mark, Fox and Ritche wander the school at night as they say goodbye to their old alma mater as they contemplate what the next school year in a bigger building holds in store for them.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

To write these books, Brad has worked with everyone from Dolly Parton, Billie Jean King and Jane Goodall -- all of whom helped with their I AM book – as well as with the estates of Rosa Parks, Martin Luther King, Jr., and so many others. For this newest book, Justice Ginsburg’s daughter was a mentor of Brad, giving him unprecedented access to stories and photos. Brad came up with the idea for the books for his own children. He wanted his two sons and daughter to have real heroes to look up to. His children are now young adults and are part of a generation of kids raised on this series. Some of his most well-known books have been banned and challenged (I am Rosa Parks and I am Martin Luther King, Jr.), but Brad is one of the few authors who’s been able to fight back, win, and get his books reinstated. Brad has numerous bestselling thrillers, non-fiction history books, and even comic books, which is why the Hollywood Reporter put him on their list of the 25 Most Powerful Authors. He even makes history himself, finding the missing 9/11 flag with his History Channel TV show.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

In the new book – Sugarless - Dr. Avena provides a compelling narrative about how processed foods with refined sugar can wreak havoc on one’s health.

In 1980, Queen was on top of the world. Their eighth album The Game went to No. 1 on the Billboard 200, while "Crazy Little Thing Called Love" and "Another One Bites the Dust" topped the Hot 100. At the time, late director Saul Swimmer approached the band about making a possible concert film. When Queen performed at the Montreal Forum in Canada in 1981 on November 24 and 25, Swimmer captured the band in all their essence for Queen Rock Montreal. Originally released in 1981, the film has been digitally remastered for the first time for IMAX and will run for a limited time from January 18 through 21. The film showcases Queen at their apex with Freddie Mercury, Brian May, Roger Taylor, and John Deacon performing through a ferocious 26-song setlist featuring "We Will Rock You," "Somebody To Love," and the live debut of "Under Pressure," along with "Bohemian Rhapsody," "We Are The Champions," and many more. In 2007, nearly 30 years since the concert film premiered, the live album recording from the Montreal Forum dates, Queen Rock Montreal, was also released. In the late 1970s, Walt "Wally" Versen was recruited along with five of his fellow football players from Northwestern College to work as the band's security on their tour. "For the six of us, an already extraordinary journey took an unbelievable veer into the world of biggest-time rock and roll," said Verson, who has remained friends with Brian May and is executive producing the upcoming documentary Play the Game: A Jock N Roll Story. The security guard was also at the Montreal concert in '81 and captured never-before-seen images of the band from his point of view backstage. Versen also played into Mercury's stage theatrics. Mercury would oftentimes come on stage on the shoulders of security guards dressed as Superman and other characters in costume. Dressed as Darth Vader, Versen once carried Mercury out on his shoulders.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Flesh Becomes Words is a story about the technological breakthrough of finding a technology that can translate the natural "flesh" language of DNA into the words of the English language. It pits Science versus God as a way of not proving the existence of one at the expense of the other, but instead, shows how the facts in science reveal the truth of God's words. “The truth of God's words endures, while the observable facts of science are subject to change. Facts are from the visible sense-bound world. Truth comes from the eternal spiritual world. Flesh Becomes Words chronicles how scientific discoveries in the invisible molecular world, such as DNA and its applications in the science of life, are metaphors for underlying invisible spiritual truths.”For example, the two strands of the double-helical structure of DNA are referred to as the sense and nonsense strands, or the coding and non-coding strands. This is representative of the spiritual strands of good and evil intertwined in our souls, with us being left with the decision of choosing which strand to express in the words we speak. “The thought life is the essence of who we are as people,” shares Springer. “It is our soul, which is our mind. Our mind is often associated with our brain, but in Flesh Becomes Words, memory or thoughts have been discovered to have a genetic basis in the blood; the DNA of white blood cells. This is significant because it expands the mind or soul to being the intersection of body and spirit rather than a physiological attribute of the brain.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.
