Another excerpt from my upcoming book Namedropping: Seeking Creative Truth Through Trendy Altruism and Punk Rock. In honor of my recent interview with author Rob Bell, I thought I'd release my chapter on the dude himself. Be on the lookout on Godspeed socials for a giveaway of Rob's new book Everything Is Spiritual. This chapter's soundtrack is "Fighter" by Joseph.  Namedropping coming soon!  @realrobbell @godspeedpodcast

We talked with American Idol contestant Wade Cota back in May but what has he been up to since quarantined has really taken a bite out of musicians' livelihoods? Well, Cobra Kai and new music to name a few! Listen to his new song "Ordinary Life" out now! @wadecota

Third time is an absolute charm, but how can it not be with this guy? Rob Bell returns for the hat trick to discuss his latest book Everything Is Spiritual: Who We Are and What We're Doing Here.    Robbell.com @realrobbell

Another excerpt from Namedropping has...dropped (I'm not a wordsmith). This is a special one. If you've ever spent time with Anthony Green, you'll know why. If you haven't, I really hope this does the man justice.    This section's soundtrack song is: "Dear Child" by Anthony Green (duh) Follow @namedroppingbook on Instagram for embarrassing behind the scenes photos. 

Lindsay Manfredi is one of my new favorite people. You know her as the bass player for COLD but she also just dropped her first book Unf*ckwithable: A Guide to Inspired Badassery available now at LindsayManfredi.com   @lindsaymanfredi @godspeedpodcast

Dropping another excerpt from Jameson's upcoming book Namedropping. This is a special one guys. Who in the world wasn't, at one time or another, obsessed with MxPx? For many of us, the Bremerton trio kicked off a lifelong love of fast, immature, good vibes punk. In this excerpt, Jameson explores the origins of his obsession as well as his many run ins with the band.  Visit @namedroppingbook on Instagram to see the photos behind the stories.  This excerpt's soundtrack selection is "Party, My House, Be There" by MxPx (duh)

VIP meet & greets, creating quality content in quarantine, and the future of Sleep On It all hangs in the balance in 2020. Don't worry, we solve all of it.  @sleeponitband

Excerpt number 2 (haha) from my upcoming book Namedropping: Seeking Creative Truth Through Trendy Altruism and Punk Rock coming this fall. 

Murder-Bears, Moonshine, and Mayhem: Strange Stories from The Bible To Leave You Amused, Bemused, and (Hopefully) Informed. Get it? Luke T. Harrington's latest book is a must-read for that immature junior high kid who still lives within all of us.

A story about meeting my best friend Machine Gun Kelly.  Namedropping: Seeking Creative Truth Through Trendy Altruism and Punk Rock coming this fall from Askew Publishing. @namedroppingbook

Visit Rumestudio.co to see all the amazing and creative projects Steven and his wife Bethany are working on and listen to Ungrieved on Spotify. Seriously, lay on the floor, throw this record on and drift away. 

Imagine sharing your personal thoughts on the existence of God and winding up on CNN. Our old friend Jon Steingard returns! He's had quite the last few weeks! Everyone has an opinion on his announcement but we just want to have the conversation. Much love. 

Jay Bakker! Grace! Another wish list guest fulfilled. Follow @jaybakker and tune into Revolution Church on iTunes. Honestly, this was just a really fun and hopeful interview. Plus you'll get some new music out of it.  

A brief chat with Kevin Geyer of The Story So Far, Elder Brother and his new solo project Same Side! 

Did you know I used to LOVE American Idol? It's true and Colton Dixon was always a favorite. It's been incredible to see his star rise since he placed 7th in 2011. He's got a brand new EP (self-titled) out now and I can't lie, its a perfect album.  @coltondixonmusic

FINALLY! You've been asking for him! Tommy Freakin' Green is here. You'll have to sit through another very brief excerpt from my upcoming book but I promise you, it's worth it. The dude has had whirlwind of a last few years. We get into healing, whether or not he misses Sleeping Giant, and his newfound career as a big time serious actor.  @tommyrunsagainsttraffic @darkarrowsmovie

Wade Cota placed top 5 on American Idol last season! Katy Perry said he had one of the most unique voices she'd ever heard. If Katy Perry is wrong, I don't want to be right. His new record is Big Feet, Baby Steps out now! @wadecota @sugarwaterofficial

Comic Nathan Macintosh returns! We get into so many things. Gal Gadot and celeb friends encouraging us six days in by sining "Imagine"? Imagine no possessions...I don't think they can. Is Hobbs and Shaw the greatest piece of cinema in recent memory? There's a lot to unpack here.  @nathanmacintosh
