During the height of the cold war when Ronald Regan called the Soviet Union the evil empire, Bill Nowicki was in the Navy. He was a nuclear-trained electrician’s mate aboard the Los Angeles class fast attack submarine, the USS Minneapolis / St. Paul (SSN 708) with 100 highly trained shipmates. These are the memories of those difficult (and sometimes hilarious) times told by the men who depended on one another for their lives.

Gimme Some Headlines is a series of Conversations On Wax. Its hosts, C.O.D. DecaturboyMusic and P. Henry Trotter IV, two 3rd Coast, country scholars share their stories, opinions, and hot takes about a range of topics in their own unabashed, southern way. When you press play, expect to hear two friends, brothers, business partners, teammates, and former roommates chop it up like there’s no one else in the room. But you won’t be a fly on the wall. You’ll have a seat on the couch as they dive into topics concerning society, like the social contract and social media. They’ll discuss the stages of life, debate each other, tell stories, explore music, appreciate the culinary arts, and argue about film, sports, current and historical events. This show is simultaneously about everything and nothing. The only real goal is to build a community around open, honest discourse. Join them on the journey and have a COW!

Have you ever felt this pull inside that there’s something more for you to be and contribute in this life? Have you ever wondered what your thing is that makes you special and different? Yeah, that was me until I went through my rock bottom when I discovered my husband’s addiction and infidelity. At that point, I had two choices – I could let it destroy me, or I could level up. That choice began my road to healing, purpose, redemption and growing in to the woman that Jesus made me to be. I’m going to share everything that I’ve learned along this journey and help YOU do the same thing. Are you ready for the journey? Let’s go, it’s time to Level Up!

Marco Zaza has been telling family stories—funny or sad or nostalgic stories—at various dinner tables for over half a century now. These are tales that reveal one family’s experience as immigrant- and first-generation Italian-Americans. With this podcast Marco shares these entertaining memories with a broader audience. Now illuminated with conversations that add details and tangential stories, the episodes elicit the laughter and tears that always resulted when he treated his family, gathered around a meal, to a sweet memory or two.

Jen and Briddany are sisters and they want you to know that you have a story even if you don’t think you do. Look, they’ll show you. By telling you (mostly) true stories and getting all kinds of other people to tell them, too. It nearly always gets inadvertently morbid. There’s a whole lot of swearing. Most of the time there’s a moment where you hear wine being poured. There’s a golden retriever named Lloyd. Do we have to keep going? Cause we will. We can. Don’t test us.

Bedtime Stories For Grownups is a series of whimsical scenes from the stuff of dreams that is intended to be a portal into dreamland. There is no plot to follow and no sense to make of anything – simply descriptions of dreamscapes to help you find your way there. Please note that some listeners may find some of the content a little dark and unsettling. These tales are told with humility – and with respect. Any descriptive similarity to actual persons or events is unintentional and entirely coincidental. Soundscape by Alpha Jetplane Music.
