Monologue

MONOLOGUE IS BACK. In this true Monologue of an episode, Monica "song explodes" her latest release "WINGS." She breaks it down section by section, talking about the writing and production processes and also plays the song she originally wrote for The Rutledge Cancer Foundation 10 years ago.  No more seasons. No schedule. Just for funzies.  Follow Monologue Podcast @monologuepodcast (IG) Follow TX Forever Podcast @txforeverpod (IG/TW) Stream WINGS on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/track/6KLUhAMwT681GwMffiDUDp?si=8a4b7d44bcaf45ba Stream WINGS on Apple Music: https://music.apple.com/us/album/wings-single/1541050085 Donate to The Rutledge Cancer Foundation: https://rutledgecancerfoundation.org/donate/

I have a new podcast! It's a Friday Night Lights re-watch podcast with one of my best friends in the world, Carley Rutledge (@cool.cactus.media). Search TX Forever wherever you listen and follow us on socials @txforeverpod.  

Secret podcaster Jonny Woo (@jonnywooooo) and award-winning screenwriter (not a euphemism) Mary Siroky (@msiroky) join me for an epic Oscar 2020 breakdown episode! We discuss every best picture nom, the biggest snubs of the year (*ehem* Greta, J Lo, Awkwafina, etc.), make our predictions, and grade all 9 best pic noms (see below). Mary puts my “movie buffness” to SHAME and we all “yes and” and/or kindly disagree with one another. Buckle up. Oscar grades Parasite: A+ Little Women: A Jojo Rabbit: A 1917: A Marriage Story: B+ Once upon a time: B The Irishman: B Ford v. Ferrari: B- Joker: B-

First ep of 2020! The humble & insightful Nick Johnston (@nickjohnston) of The Pressure Kids (@thepressurekids) is my first guest of the new year. We talk about how striving for that middle ground between cryptic and on the nose is the sweet spot of music, how we love lyrics that can mean different things to different people (or even to different versions of yourself), we fan girl over Corey Kilgannon’s (@corey_kilgannon) song “The Hollow,” what’s next for The Pressure Kids, and how side hugs get a bad rep.Plugs~Nick: Joelton Mayfield (@joeltonmayfield)'s EP I Hope You Make ItMon: The Morning Show (@themorningshow) & Cheer (Netflix)recorded: 1/31/20

So this was exciting. I’ve been a fan of Houston Kendrick’s (@houstonis_) for over a year and this is my first guest that I met in person for the first time minutes before recording. We talk about our southern roots, how we love the “figurative knitting-ness” of adult life, the most important songs to him on his debut mixtape PINK, how a lot of being a young adult is about unlearning the past, his new single “Birdbox” which is out THIS FRIDAY and more! It’s just a delightful ep. His song “PErSOnA” opens the ep (I included quite a bit cause it’s just so good) and his song “LiNES” closes.Plugs~Houston: Rhythm & Flow (@rhythmandflownetflix)Mon: Hustlers (@hustlersmovie) & Sophie Bush's (@sophiabush) podcast Work In Progress (@workinprogress)Recorded: 10/29/19
