My interview with Lisa Lutz, whose new novel The Passenger is slated for a March 1 release.

Mark Coker created a revolution in the publishing industry when he started Smashwords in 2008. He talks about the mindset that caused him to start such a bold adventure, how you can publish your book at Smashwords, and what the opening of Cuba could mean for a country with the highest adult literacy rate in the world ...

Author, missionary, life coach: Tom Davis has led a fascinating life. He sits down with me to talk about his riveting childhood, his time in prison and his transformation into one of the world's foremost organizers and encouragers. Hear about his new programs as well as some of his past adventures.

Rob Rains has been writing about baseball for many years, co-authoring books with Jack Buck and Tony LaRussa. We talk Cardinals, Cubs and the 2016 Major League Baseball season, as well as his new book about the Cardinal organization, "Taking Flight".

Dave Marr has a new album! Around these parts, that's a cause for celebration! Listen to three songs off the new album, We Were All In Love, and reminisce about his days in The Star Room Boys, one of the most underrated Americana bands of the last twenty years.

Blaine Bartlett has emerged as a leadership coach and developmental guru. He is currently working with Bob Proctor and other leaders to bring his concept of Compassionate Capitalism to the fore. He sits down with me to discuss his ideology and we talk implementation.

Cynthia Kersey dropped out of corporate America to write a book, Unstoppable. Her divorce sent her in a different direction and set her on a path that would change many lives. Her Unstoppable Foundation changes the lives of children in Africa and India, and now is providing college educations to those children as they grow into adults. Her story is inspiring and awesome. Cynthia Kersey is truly unstoppable!

As we inch closer to the release of my novel Southern Gothic, I will be releasing some different video of how Southern Gothic came to be and what inspired it. The two women in the video with me had a large part to play in its creation, as I asked myself, what would Jennifer and Terrie like to read? We had a fun conversation about our adventures at a Georgia camp meeting (which is also in the book) and about the things we did that would never be allowed today. There's more to come, but I think this is pretty fun.

A conversation with Syd Straw, vocalist for the Golden Palminos, creator of beautiful records, guest star on The Adventures of Pete and Pete!

A talented songwriter and generous collaborator, Bill Lloyd has thrilled audiences for thirty years with his beautiful pop melodies and country licks. Today he joins us to talk about his career, his work with the Country Music Hall of Fame, and global warming. Just kidding. That's not a real thing.

One of the ideas which I hope at some point to be able to bring to fruition is putting out a coffee table book based on the fields of the old SWCL. The Southwest Central League contains small schools in Southwest Missouri, and it is central to literally nowhere. Now everybody's gone and gotten all "corporate" with "good fields" and "regulation diamonds" and stuff, but back in the day ... there were some wild fields.

Wine. Lots of wine. That's what I talk about with Neiko Miller Kird today. She works at Reed's American Table, one of the hottest new restaurants in St. Louis, and she is passionate about the stuff. We learn what we need to say and what we need to buy.

Linda Gail Lewis first came to the nation's attention singing duets with her brother, Jerry Lee. She recorded as a solo artist for Smash and Sire, and wound up doing an album of duets with Van Morrison. She talks about her new album, Hard Rockin' Woman and what it's like to sing with two of the most distinctive singers in the world.

Writer Alan Light talks about his new book, What Happened, Miss Simone? It was inspired by the Oscar-nominated film, and chronicles the astonishing musical career of Nina Simone, as well as her erratic personal life. We also talk about Prince's Purple Rain period and the musical journey of Leonard Cohen's Hallelujah, and talk about the legacy of David Bowie.
