Artist Solace

Jen Edds of Indianapolis, Indiana is a full-time podcaster, podcasting editor and consultant for local business owners, and musician (among other things)! We learn about how she got involved with music, why she moved to Indianapolis, and how she started her podcasting career! She has an interesting story and some great inspiration and advice for us.

Comedian Brent Terhune joins me in the Lab to discuss his life of comedy! From Indianapolis, Brent describes himself as an OG and got started with comedy at the age of 18, and currently performs stand-up full time. (By the way, OG stands for “Original Ginger.”) He has education and experience in radio and is now making videos on YouTube! He is also a writer and frequent guest on the Bob & Tom show. We discuss complex issues regarding politics, satire, and government hypocrisy, much of which inspires his YouTube videos. Although his videos have satirical underpinnings, Brent describes himself and his comedy as “likeable”. We also talk about what it means to be successful for artists, what he does to get through tough times, and the importance of finding humor in the tragedy of life.

Leah Whitmire is a full time Music Therapist, working primarily in hospice facilities. We learn about her life as a musician and profound experiences of her Music Therapy Career. We also question the social and cultural aspects of music and why playing music isn't apart of most peoples' lives. This is truly an inspiring episode!

Here are a few outtakes and bloopers from this month's episodes featuring Jeff Bodart, Heather Fidler, and Constance Scopelitis! Basically, things that interrupt the recordings or funny conversations that occur during soundchecks, which get edited out of the final recording, are included in this episode. Enjoy!

Cory Sites is an Indianapolis, Indiana native and is currently pursuing his Bachelor's Degree in Music Therapy. He also performs solo-acoustic music throughout the city. I had the pleasure of attending one of his live performances recently and, I must say, he is talented with a unique sound and style. Cory also works full-time as an AV Technician and is also the father of 1-year-old twin boys. He juggling a lot of responsibilities right now, which makes him admirable and inspiring as an Artist. You can find his music on Soundcloud, ReverbNation, and Facebook. Go online and search Cory Sites Music and there you will find a list of links which allow you to access him and his music.
