Harper Grace is forever her father’s daughter on “if daddy says no.” The Texas native finds herself caught between two men who hold her heart: the one who raised her and the one who pursued her. Contemplating the consequences of choosing one over the other, while acknowledging their similarities, she pleads for patience as she seeks her father’s blessing on a coming-of-age track rooted in real-life vulnerability, not storybook endings. “if daddy says no” was written by Harper Grace, Kyle Schlienger, and Scott Stepakoff; and produced by Cooper Bascom."'if daddy says no' was written during a season where I thought I could run away and fall in love on my own terms. I believed love meant choosing freely, without looking back - but internally, I felt a deep push and pull. I was raised in a family where tradition matters, where respect matters, and where my relationship with my father has always been rooted in love, protection, and trust. His "yes" has always meant something to me. This song lives in the tension between wanting to make the right decision for yourself and not tearing down everything else around you in the process. It's about choosing long-term values over short-term emotion, and realizing that love isn't just about who you fall for - it's about who you become and what you're willing to protect."Harper Grace's burgeoning career has already seen her perform twice on national television on NBC'S Today Show, collect 17 million global streams, and co-write a song she recorded that landed a sync placement in a Netflix film in 2025 ("Getaway"). She has opened for many incredible artists, including OneRepublic, Dylan Scott, Maddie & Tae, Nelly, and Walker Hayes. She has performed at NFL, MLB, NBA, and MLS games. She has been featured by NPR, Taste of Country, and US Weekly. And she has released songs with Kelsey Hart, Mason Ramsey, and Franklin Jonas. Harper's songwriting abilities, vocal prowess, and engaging personality have and continue to propel her rise. “if daddy says no" is currently at Country radioBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

“Recognize” is Original 8 (OG8) lead singer Jaime Lynch’s personal mantra. And while she ends the new single, “W.O.M.A.N” with the phrase “I am woman, recognize…”, the meaning behind it goes way back to how Lynch and her bandmates have approached both the music business and life.Based in Portland, Ore., the driving force behind OG8 is founder and guitarist Troy Williver. Bent on being a band that doesn’t rely on a record label for both success and acknowledgment, in early 2023 Williver established Beat Farm Music. From there, the OG8 band took hold. Williver’s search for a vocalist that matched the values and could both command the stage and captivate the audience in a way that accentuates OG8’s eclectic rock-Americana-blues sound led him to Lynch.“W.O.M.A.N” is a profound, unapologetic anthem redefining the rock and roll landscape“I wanted to capture confidence, freedom and owning who you are without apology or explanation,” Lynch, a multiple winner of “Best of Las Vegas” for her powerful vocals and stage presence for Pussycat Dolls, Peep Show, Vegas The Show and more, said. “So many times as women in this society, and especially in this industry, we are expected to behave a certain way, look a certain way – be a certain way. This song is really about taking that power back and owning it for yourself.”Sure, the streams and the album sales are nice, but for OG8 the recognition that they have a bond and a central mission, they can look in the mirror and see that they are doing meaningful work. They are unapologetically true to themselves. Their origin story is rooted in decades of musical collaboration, friendship and a shared ideological belief system of love of music over pursuit of ego. Drummer Michael Thomas Underwood III, Renato Caranto on saxophone, George Mitchell on keyboard, bassist Phil Baker and sound engineer Drew Canulette round out the band.A recuring theme in all of their experiences - OG8 has endured the pressures and feeling of being overlooked.“Stay in this place – don’t go higher,” Lynch said. “People see you one way and use you for what they need. I want credit where it’s due.”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Steven C. Law, author of the new book, THE STORY OF BOB (Feb. 16, 2026)? Steven tells the life of Reverend Robert W. Wood: a World War II veteran, ordained Christian minister, and early gay rights advocate who chose visibility at a time when silence was often the only path to survival. In 1960—nearly a decade before Stonewall—Wood published Christ and the Homosexual, a radical act that openly affirmed gay people within a religious world that overwhelmingly rejected them.Drawing from intimate interviews and deep archival research, Law traces Wood’s life from his early awareness of his identity, through wartime service, to his involvement with the Mattachine Society and his quiet but consequential role in shaping early LGBTQ+ advocacy. Wood was never famous, never safe, and never passive. His activism came with real costs—professional, personal, and spiritual.What makes The Story of Bob especially compelling for LGBTQ+ readers is its human scale. This is not a mythic hero’s tale, but the story of a gay man navigating love, faith, fear, desire, and integrity in a world that offered him very few models for living openly. The book restores Bob to queer history as someone who lived authentically when doing so could cost everything.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

IT'S NOT LIKE THAT is a show about two families dealing with immense loss and change, leaning on each other and their shared faith, finding a way forward together. The title is a wink to our rom com roots, but more importantly, it speaks to the essence of our show. As we move through the world, we all make assumptions about each other, misunderstand one another. We look through our own narrow lens, and that is rarely the whole or real picture. Everyone you meet is battling something you don't know about. In other words, it's not like that. There is always a deeper, more complex story, one that requires an extension of grace. That's really the overarching theme. And Malcolm - our pastor, father, friend and flawed, funny human - is at the center of this grace.Our hope for this show is that its humanity is universal. That no matter who you are, you'll be able to relate to and connect with these characters and what they're going through. That's our favorite kind of TV. We hope you'll enjoy it with your own open hearts and appreciate you taking the time to watch. We are just beyond thankful and excited to finally share it with the world - Ian Deitchman & Kristin RobinsonBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Understandings of Black-Jewish relations have been notable for the near consensus among scholars that the Yiddish press repeatedly condemned discrimination and prejudice against African Americans, and highlighted the similarities between the situation of Jews in Eastern Europe and Blacks in America. This book argues that this view covers just a sliver of the varied representations of Black women and men. East European Jewish culture during the immigration era was not uniformly supportive of Black Americans as those interpretations suggest.Crude Creatures draws on a mixture of previously unexplored Yiddish press, theatre, and literature from Eastern Europe and the United States through 1929 to examine how Black Africans and African Americans were depicted. It charts a significant gap between the sincere condemnation of lynching, violence against Black Americans, and racial segregation on the one hand, and the ways in which Jewish authors, newspapers, playwrights, actors, and theater managers actually represented Black people on the other. While most East European Jews would not have seen a Black person before their arrival in America, they had already acquired preconceived imagery of Black people through rabbinic exegesis, pious advice, travel narratives (either original or adapted from other languages), folklore, scientific explorations, pulp literature, press reports, political rhetoric, and educational materials. Thus, Yiddish writers commonly described Black people as cannibals, oversexed, prone to violence, childlike, or just happy-go-lucky people.Crude Creatures provides a critical revision, correcting the accepted rosy narrative of Black women and men’s portrayals in Yiddish culture, and highlighting what we can learn from these representations about how immigrant groups integrated their own cultures into American racial hierarchy and vocabulary.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Bitty now has sponsors, a high-powered agent, and all the tools needed to thrive online, and real money is flowing in. At least, it was. With Miss Kitty gone, the family’s income is on the line.The case presents a slew of challenges for Chet and Bernie.

For another, it seems like a possible perp has been killed twice—and there’s evidence implicating Bernie in the crime. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Anyone who grew up as a “good kid” likely heard constant praise from the adults around them: “a delight to have in class,” “an old soul,” “so mature for their age.” Quiet, responsible, disciplined, and easygoing, these children are what many parents strive to raise—and when they succeed, both parent and child are rewarded with approval.But because these “good kids” appear so self-sufficient, few people think to check in on them. While they may seem to raise themselves, many are quietly struggling with perfectionism, overachieving, people-pleasing, and hyper-vigilance.In GOOD KIDS: Why You Suffered in Silence and How to Break the Cycle (Sheldon Press/Hachette UK; on sale 1/27/26), trauma therapist and parenting expert Maggie Nick explores how these children often grow into anxious, self-doubting adults. Through an accessible exploration of relational shame trauma, Nick reveals why “good kids” learn to bottle their emotions, seek constant approval, and fear being a burden—patterns that can persist well into adulthood.A recovering “good kid” herself, Nick understands firsthand how this pressure builds over time—and how it can be unlearned. Drawing on research and years of clinical experience counseling countless recovering “good kids,” she offers practical tools for parents and adult “good kids” alike to identify harmful patterns, break generational cycles of toxic parenting, and cultivate self-compassion, emotional safety, and authentic connection.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.
