In this special edition of The Interludes Podcast, host Val “The Voice” Johnson drops the beat on a brand-new chapter of creative storytelling. After five years of inspiring conversations, The Interludes expands its rhythm to spotlight entrepreneurs, musicians, and the global DJ culture.
From the birth of The Pull Up Podcast Show theme music to the rebrand now called The Interludes Podcast: Entrepreneurs and DJ Culture / Music and Rhythm, Val reveals how business and art collide in powerful, purposeful ways.
She reflects on the journey — from carrying crates of vinyl to spinning virtual sets during the pandemic — an experience that inspired her book A DJ Saved My Life. Along the way, she pays homage to modern creative icons like D-Nice, Questlove, and Idris Elba, whose stories prove that passion can evolve into enterprise when you keep remixing your purpose.
🎧 Tune in for lessons on ownership, storytelling, and staying true to the beat that moves you.

CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist
It’s 1996 in rural North Carolina, and an oddball crew makes history when they pull off America’s third largest cash heist. But it’s all downhill from there. Join host Johnny Knoxville as he unspools a wild and woolly tale about a group of regular ‘ol folks who risked it all for a chance at a better life. CrimeLess: Hillbilly Heist answers the question: what would you do with 17.3 million dollars? The answer includes diamond rings, mansions, velvet Elvis paintings, plus a run for the border, murder-for-hire-plots, and FBI busts.
