The Local Bar

Plan didn't work out?  Things did turn out in time for you?  Job didn't come through?  Friend let you down?  Every now and then, we get a perfect example that sometimes our timing doesn't matter because things turn out better in their own time.  

This is ones of those stories.  

An open confession, a view fom the wilderness, and a plea from the heart.  Good to see you again.  

Jamal Stroud, founder of Big Homie Lil Homie Mentoring joins us to talk about his story and how he is impacting the youth in our area.  

A show that I've never really wanted to do.  One that is more about your attitude than you resolutions.  Take a few moments and spend some time with us today.  Hopfully it will make your year more successful.  

Happy New Year.  

Nathan Seagraves, creator of Refuge City Records, joins us to talk about taking steps to creating your own path.  And a reminder from a mom and son about giving thanks.  

Join us as we talk with Shelley Magee and Andrew "Ace" Evans as we talk about Cottontown Soul Society's new album "Strong Enough".  

No hard hitting election coverage here.  Just a nice reminder that no matter what, life goes on.  But there's one thing you can do to make it better after you vote....

This week, we sit down with a fellow pirate to discuss groups, helping each other out, and what it means to live Rockboat to Rockboat.  

After taking a leave of absence from the show, Chad also stepped away from something else that involves you.  What he realized was something profound.  Check it out here.  

This week we talk with Bryn of "Bryn's Purpose", a non-profit that is raising money and awarness for the needs of their community, about her latest endevor.  Also, we discuss something you need to check.  

No, there was no woman to blame.  

Give this one a listen.  It's important. 

This week, the stars of Jimmy Buffett's "Escape to Margaritaville" come on to talk about the show, thier backgrounds, and what they enjoy the most about theater.  

This week I am joined by Bryant Taylor-Marshall - actor in the upcoming "Escape to Margaritaville" at the Workshop Theater in Columbia, SC as well as part of the improv comedy group "The Mothers."  Fins up.  

I don't often share crazy, obscure, rediculous ghost stories with people, but these are crazy, obscure, rediculous times.  

While this deals with things that may or may not really be there, the lesson learned from this certainly exists.  Take some time and hear me out.  And then, follow the instructions at the end.  

You'll thank me later.  You'll thank yourself immediately.  

To celebrate the 200th episode of the show, I've decided to turn the microphone inward and have my three favorite people that have ever walked the planet interview me.  

Thank you for all the years, the shows, emails, and support.  This has been an unexpected and fantastic journey.  

I'm the luckiest guy you know.  

This week we are joined by our good friend Billy Riot (from the podcasts Riot House Podcast, Beauty in the Breakdown) to talk about some of the things you need to check out at St. Pat's Columbia, why being genuine is important, and who exactly is Derrick Poop.  

If you haven't heard about the St. Patirck's Day festival in Columbia, SC (www.stpatscolumbia.com), you need to check out the website and this interview.  There are a million reasons you should go to the festival this year.  We give you the main one.

This week we have a conversation with Chris Rhoad (aka BoatCastChris).  Chris is the creator and one of the host of The BoatCast Podcast - one of the top music interview podcast going today.  

Sometimes I feel like it takes me so long to get some people I know to be on the show.  This is a time that I waited too long.  Tom Hall was someone you should have known, and he probably had an impact on your life, even if you didn't (certainly if you listen to this show).  

Here's to you, Tom.
