On A Certain List & Ian Guerin

 There is an old saying that goes, "Sometimes the sun will shine on a dog's ass." Although we are not 100% sure exactly what that means, it does seem to hold a bit of truth when it comes to this show. The fine people at Hollywood Entertainment News put out a list of the "Best/Most Entertaining Podcast Hosts of 2020." As shocking as it was to even make the list, Ric found himself at number 25. 

There are some great hosts and shows represented on that list as well. This turned out to be quite the honor. And to think Ric nearly killed off this show. 

Also in this episode, Ric sits down with R&B hitmaker Ian Guerin for a conversation about writing music and the entertainment life in a pandemic.

 Here's The List

Merry Sort of Christmas & Wendy Stuart

 As Christmas bears down on us all, this year seems rather muted. Some people are trying to find any joy during the end of this tumultuous year. There is some hope out there and it's just going to be a matter of all of us hunkering down and getting through this together in a sort of distant matter. 

Along those lines, Ric sits down with model and entertainer Wendy Stuart who will bring some cheer to your eggnog , if you know what we're saying. Wendy was a fixture at Studio 54 and other influential New York Clubs as well as her modelling work and a book she has written about her experiences. 

If that wasn't enough, she created a cooking show to keep herself busy through the pandemic. Not bad for a Covid-19 survivor. A story you will hear in this episode.

It's Time for Shots & Rocky Kramer

 The time some of us have been waiting on has arrived. The vaccine is here. Naturally, there are those out there who have a problem with this. In this episode, Ric talks about just what manufactured outrage is surrounding the Covid-19 vaccine. 

Also in this episode, Ric sits down with Norway's Ambassador of Rock, Rocky Kramer. They talk about the Norwegian influence on the genre of rock and how the relationship between metal and classical music. 

Plus, more details about the Feed The Blues campaign through the Memphis Blues Society and Radio Memphis.

NEXT WEEK: Wendy Stuart Kaplan

There is Porn in The Parler & Coyote Motel

 A social media "safe space" out there who is rather loud about their non-censorship is having an issue that may well test their own rules. It turns out that Parler is trying to figure out how to deal with an apparent porn problem. They pride themselves in never wanting to delete a post (for whatever reason) and having this little issue, as amusing as it has become, might be testing the very limits of what they consider "free speech". 

Plus a conversation taken from Radio Memphis in The Morning with Ted Drozdowski and his band Coyote Motel from Nashville. You'll also hear a cut from their latest collection of songs.
