The Jason Durden Show

Hey y'all. I was not able to put together a show with a guest this week due to my being in Charleston, SC as my Mother is in MUSC Medical University of South Carolina. She suffered a traumatic brain injury in a fall a few weeks ago. 

So this episode is just me, talking about what we've ben going through. It's not been easy. Any good vibes you can send my Mom's way is appreciated!

As always I thank you for listening!

I hope you enjoy the episode as much as I did talking with S...

Hi all! Welcome to another edition of The Jason Durden Show. This time around I speak with a man named Jack Shaw. Jack is a member of a band out of Atlanta, GA called The Head. The other members of the band are Jack's twin brother, Mike on vocals, and their longtime friend Jacob Morrell on guitar. Jack plays the drums. I've been a fan of their music for a while now after stumbling across them on Twitter. Jack and I discuss the band...

Are you always looking for something to watch on TV? I know I am. I've always been an avid TV watcher. These days your options are wide and varied when it comes to TV programming and content sources. Of course, regular broadcast TV is still around; but with so many streaming services and even the ones streaming live TV, have seriously changed the world of television.

This week I speak with Paste Magazine TV Editor and Critic, Allis...

As promised here is a special episode for my Mother, Carolyn Durden, to commemorate her 80th birthday. Today (July 26th) is her actual birthday, but yesterday we threw a casual get together for some family and friend and Mom had such a good time.

I don't think she knows about this episode. In the first part I tell you a little about Mom. And in the second part I play calls from friend and relatives who couldn't make it and even som...

We've all seen the stories of the crazy housing market right now. So many buyers, so few homes. I wanted to learn more about why this is and get some tips for potential home buyers. Buyers are facing stiff competition when it comes to buying a place because many houses have multiple offers.

I reached out a colleague, Paul Ciliano. Paul is a realtor in Las Vegas and was actually once my boss in the radio world. Paul has since moved ...

I've been fascinated with bees for quite some time. Especially in recent yers when we heard a lot about the decline in bees. This week I speak with beekeeper Jennifer Kimbrell. Jennifer and her husband, Curtis, run Humble Bumble Bee Farm in Statesboro, GA. They sell their local honey around the area and send their bees on vacations sometimes. Jennifer will explain.

I learned a lot in this episode and hope you do, too!

We've heard a lot about ransomware attacks in the news as of late - the Colonial Pipeline attack and the JBS attack are just two that have made the news recently. I thought it would be good to reach out to an expert in cybersecurity to explain in simple terms what ransomware is and what it does to computer systems.

Jason Quader has been working in the IT and cybersecurity industry for 25 years. He knows his stuff when it comes to s...

This week I am joined by legendary Grammy winning music producer Steve Buckingham. He's also a pretty good guitarist. Steve has been in the music business since the late 60's and has produced iconic artists like Dolly Parton, Linda Ronstadt, and Melissa Manchester. He put both Mary Chapin Carpenter and Ricky Van Shelton on their paths to country music stardom. Also, the very first record Steve produced became a worldwide disco sens...

At pretty much the last minute I decided I wanted to do a quick Father's Day episode and let listeners call in and leave a voicemail about their dads. One thing I know from listening to these...there are a lot of incredible dads out there. And I thank everyone who called in! Y'all are awesome!

I hope you enjoy this quick episode. And I hope all father's have a Happy Father's Day!

If you ever want to call and leave the show a messag...

In this episode I speak with Tammy Cohen, CEO and Chief Visionary Officer at InfoMart in Marietta, GA. InfoMart is a leader in the field of pre-employment background screening. Tammy has an interesting story of overcoming obstacles to become one of the most respected women in business. I talk to Tammy about her background and also about background screening. With so many people going back into the workforce I thought it would be ni...

My first guest is a gentleman named Ray Williams. Ray has been in the music industry for over 5 decades and has had an incredible career. I met Ray a few years ago and have wanted to have a conversation with him ever since to hear his story.

If you saw the movie Rocketman, then you've seen part of Ray's story. Ray was the man who discovered Elton John and also the man who teamed Elton John up with his now longtime friend and lyrici...
