It’s Episode 68! This week I dive into a packed episode full of music news, and indie gems. I kick things off with a personal update (smoky skies and chili cookoffs, anyone?), then the headlines: Dropkick Murphys pull out of Punk in the Park over political donations, TikTok launches new tools to boost songwriter visibility, and Amazon shakes up its podcasting division—again. Plus, I have a marketing tip for musicians, spotlight five standout indie tracks including Rachael Plays Guitar, The Kowalskis, and Martin Moran, and wrap it all up with some good news from the world of YouTube philanthropy. Whether you're here for the music, the marketing, or the scene energy— I have something for you.

The Male Room with Dr. Jesse Mills
As Director of The Men’s Clinic at UCLA, Dr. Jesse Mills has spent his career helping men understand their bodies, their hormones, and their health. Now he’s bringing that expertise to The Male Room — a podcast where data-driven medicine meets common sense. Each episode separates fact from hype, science from snake oil, and gives men the tools to live longer, stronger, and happier lives. With candor, humor, and real-world experience from the exam room and the operating room, Dr. Mills breaks down the latest health headlines, dissects trends, and explains what actually works — and what doesn’t. Smart, straightforward, and entertaining, The Male Room is the show that helps men take charge of their health without the jargon.
