Arroe Collins Like It's Live

In reporting his 2012 New York Times bestselling biography Bruce-widely regarded as the "definitive biography of Bruce Springsteen" (Asbury Park Press)-celebrated music journalist Peter Ames Carlin gained unprecedented access to Springsteen's inner circle and to The Boss himself. Now, timed to the 50th anniversary of the release of the groundbreaking album, he brings us TONIGHT IN JUNGLELAND: The Making of Born to Run (Doubleday; August 5, 2025; $30), an intimate, behind-the-scenes account, based on brand new reporting, of the writing, recording, and making of one of the most iconic records in rock history.From the opening piano notes of "Thunder Road" to the final outro of "Jungleland," with American anthems like "Born to Run" and "Tenth Avenue Freeze Out" in between, Bruce Springsteen's seminal album, Born to Run, established Springsteen as a creative force in rock and roll. It is indisputably his crowning achievement, which launched him to international superstardom-but it almost never happened.By the spring of 1974, the situation at Columbia Records had become dire for Springsteen. His first two albums had been highly praised but had gained almost no commercial traction. Columbia was not going to pay for a full third album. They agreed to give him enough money to record just one more song; if it sounded like a hit, or even something with a chance of radio play, they'd consider financing a full album. Bruce was determined to craft a song powerful enough to stake the rest of his career on, so he sat on his small bed near the Jersey Shore and picked up his guitar. He listened to the traffic outside his window and envisioned the muscle cars he saw roaring around Asbury Park. Then he pulled some chords out of the air and wrote the words, "Baby, we were born to run."With his back against the wall, Springsteen wrote what has been hailed as a perfect album, a defining moment, and a roadmap for what would become a legendary career. TONIGHT IN JUNGLELAND details the writing and recording of every song on the album, a tortuous process that betrayed the fault lines in Springsteen's psyche and career, even as it revealed the depth of his vision and the power of his determination. It's a journey and a story-from the first harmonica notes of "Thunder Road" and its opening lyric, "The screen door slams, Mary's dress sways," to the "Barefoot girl sitting on the hood of a Dodge" in "Jungleland," with its massive, theatrical finale of raised and crushed dreams against a backdrop of Springsteen's hopeful and melancholic New Jersey ("There's an opera out on the Turnpike / There's a ballet being fought out in the alley. . . Tonight, in Jungleland")-that combines Carlin's signature narrative style, trademark energy, lush music writing, and intellectual style, with unprecedented access to Bruce himself, his bandmates, and his longtime collaborators.A must-read for any music fan, TONIGHT IN JUNGLELAND takes us inside a hallowed creative process and lets us experience history. But don't take our word for it; let Bruce's own words, told to Carlin, reflect the intimacy of the book's storytelling: "You know, I'm very, very fond of [the album]. And on its anniversaries, I get in a car and I play it from start to finish, and I end up at West End court where I wrote it. Right before the end, right before 'Jungleland.' And I sit there by the curb and I let 'Jungleland' play, as I sit outside the little house I wrote it in."Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

For years, skincare shelves have been filled with products catering to a narrow spectrum of skin tones, leaving those with melanin-rich skin struggling to find solutions that truly work. Dr. Gauri Desai, a seasoned pathologist and her husband, Dr. Abhijit Desai, an expert in aesthetic dermatology are shaking up the skincare world with Brownkind, a brand designed specifically for people with brown skin. Black and brown skin behave differently and is more prone to uneven pigmentation, dryness, and irritation that can be masked by darker tones. Brownkind is a movement they created after years of seeing patients frustrated with skincare products that didn’t address their unique concerns. With a mission rooted in inclusivity and education, the doctors are all about celebrating brown skin—not fixing it. They are busting myths and helping people move their skincare routine from summer to fall just as they change their wardrobe!

From 1941 to 1953, director John Huston and actor Humphrey Bogart made one classic film after another, from The Maltese Falcon to The African Queen. Here is the story of their close but combative friendship that produced some of the best movies ever made.Every time they made a movie together, they made a classic-or so it seemed for star Humphrey Bogart and writer/director John Huston. Their six collaborations from 1941 and 1953 include many of the "golden age" hits from Hollywood's fabled film legacy: The Maltese Falcon, Across the Pacific, The Treasure of the Sierra Madre, Key Largo, The African Queen, and Beat the Devil.At the same time, both men led fiercely separate lives-except when they were making pictures together. Sometimes they agreed and sometimes they argued, always keeping their eyes on the results. What did each man bring to the collaboration, and how did their six films together reflect their disparate personalities? Their friendship was as dramatic as any of their movies. It survived nine marriages, a world war, the blacklist, leeches, alcohol, and Jack L. Warner. Here is the story of these two legendary talents, their films, their lives, their foes, and their remarkable devotion to each other.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Kerouac’s Road: The Beat of a Nation explores how the legacy of Jack Kerouac’s iconic novel On the Road reflects in today’s America. The film interweaves stories of modern-day “on-the-roaders” who share connections to Kerouac’s life, alongside those influenced by him or knew and loved him. Featured participants include Josh Brolin, W. Kamau Bell, Natalie Merchant, Matt Dillon, Jay McInerney and Joyce Johnson. On the Road remains as relevant today as it was in the 1950s, but both the book and Kerouac himself have never been explored in this way before. While based on the American road, On the Road inspired people globally to get out of where they are and engage in the world around them. In an era defined by screens and constant connectivity we can all still learn from the book and Kerouac’s journey, and what it means to engage in real time with the path we’re on.The documentary features Michael Imperioli, W. Kamau Bell, Josh Brolin, Matt Dillon, Natalie Merchant, Ann Charters, David Amram, Jay McInerney, Kim Jones, Jean-Christophe Cloutier, Joyce Johnson, Diana Langley, Tenaj Melendras, Faustino Melendras, Amir Staten, Angel Staten, and Karlynne Staten.

n July 1972, Smokey Robinson stood at a crossroads in his already storied career. He’d been not only the leader of the Miracles since 1957, but also an in-demand Motown songwriter and producer and was feeling pretty burned out.

These individuals recount experiences of being subjected to extreme diets, intense physical regimens, and psychological tactics aimed at enforcing conformity to narrow beauty standards. Many describe lasting impacts, including struggles with body image, self-esteem, and mental health. Snelling's compassionate storytelling ensures that these voices are heard, validated, and contextualized within broader societal issues.Beyond the confines of Camp Shane, "Camp Shame" serves as a commentary on the pervasive culture of fatphobia and the commodification of weight loss. The podcast challenges listeners to reflect on how societal obsessions with thinness can lead to harmful practices, especially when targeted at vulnerable populations like children. It also questions the ethics of for-profit institutions that capitalize on these obsessions without adequate oversight or concern for long-term well-being.Episodes available here:Https://www.iheart.com/podcast/1119-camp-shame-272594326/ Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

In the vein of David Baldacci, John Grisham, and Harlan Coben—this is Steve Berry like you’ve never read him before. After a ten-year self-imposed exile, Brent Walker is returning home to Concord, a quaint town in central Georgia nestled close to the Savannah River. Two years ago, his father died, and now Brent, hired by Southern Republic Pulp and Paper Company as its assistant general counsel, is returning to care for his ailing mother.For decades, Southern Republic has invested heavily in Concord, creating a thriving community where its employees live, work, and retire. But the genteel sheen of this quiet town is deceiving, and when a list of cryptic code surfaces, Brent starts to see the cracks. Southern Republic’s success is based largely on a highly unorthodox and deadly system to control costs, known only to the three owners of the company. Now, one of them, Christopher Bozin, has had a change of heart. Brent’s return to Concord, a move Bozin personally orchestrated, provides his conscience with a chance at redemption. A plan is set into motion, one that will not only criminally implicate Bozin’s two partners but also place Brent Walker square in the crosshairs of men who want him dead—with only one course left available -to find and reveal the shocking secret of the list.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Forrest Galante was born on March 31st, 1988 in California, but within the first few months of his life moved to Harare, Zimbabwe. He grew up on a productive farm that cultivated luxury alstroemeria flowers, various fruits and was home to a myriad of livestock and wild African animals. As a child, Galante's favorite pastimes included catching snakes, fishing in the dam, breeding guinea pigs and playing rugby. When he wasn't enjoying life on the farm, his mother would take him and his sister on safari in the African bush. As one of Africa's first female safari guides and bush pilots, Galante's mother took her children to explore some of the most remote parts of Africa, collecting artifacts and observing wildlife. Galante was enthralled by all wildlife and knew he would one day pursue a career with animals. At age 14, Galante was the youngest person to ever lead an international canoe safari down the Zambezi River.In 2001, Galante's world was turned upside down when terrible political turmoil in Zimbabwe caused their farm to be seized. They were forcefully evicted from their home in the middle of the night and fled the country of Zimbabwe. With only a suitcase each and a couple hundred dollars, Galante and his family returned to California to the small town of Cayucos, and later Santa Barbara.Galante turned to free diving and spearfishing as a way to adjust to his new life in California. Over time and as his skills developed, Galante made a name for himself in the underwater community. He traveled to various countries to participate in spearfishing events and today holds six pole spear world records. Along the way, Galante also got certified as a SCUBA dive master, a 100-ton ship captain, and an EMT. In 2009, he graduated from UC Santa Barbara with a degree in biology; special emphasis in marine biology and herpetology.The year after his college graduation, Galante took a year to travel the world. He visited 46 of the most remote places on earth to work with and photograph rare wildlife. Along his journey, he caught crocodiles, dove with white sharks, photographed venomous snakes, outsmarted a startled hippo, dodged a cyclone, and had countless other adventures-but also was hospitalized multiple times.Upon returning to California, Galante pursued a career in high-risk wildlife biology fieldwork, always focusing on animals on the brink of extinction. In 2014, he participated in Discovery's hit show, Naked and Afraid and scored one of the highest PSRs (primate survival rating) ever on the show. Galante's hands-on approach to wildlife, passion for nature and extraordinary background eventually led to the development of his own television show, Extinct or Alive, on Animal Planet. The show followed Galante as he travels the globe searching for animals he believes have wrongfully been deemed extinct.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.
