Arroe Collins: Unplugged & Totally Uncut

When I entered this forest in 1992 my heart wasn't focused on the present. The calling was to put myself in 2040. How often do we put ourselves in a position of exploration and never take the time to see what the invisible visionaries put into play decades before your arrival? Can you spot the fingerprint of one who foresaw longevity?

Mandy Gonzalez Sings Lin-Manuel Miranda.A Broadway powerhouse known for her starring roles in Sunset Blvd, Wicked, Hamilton, and In the Heights, Mandy debuted this show at Carnegie Hall to a standing ovation and rave feedback from both audiences and Lin-Manuel Miranda himself (see attached). She’s bringing the production to select cities nationwide this year, and I’d love to set up an interview for Mandy to speak about the show and collaboration with Lin! Everything I Know is a symphonic concert experience celebrating Miranda’s iconic music—from Hamilton, In the Heights, Moana, Encanto, and The Little Mermaid to rarely performed gems like 21 Chump Street and “Delivery.” As one of Miranda’s earliest collaborators, Mandy brings a uniquely personal perspective and emotional depth to the material. It won’t take long to understand exactly why Lin-Manuel Miranda praises Mandy Gonzalez as “...one of the greatest singers on earth.”Mandy and Lin first met in 2004 and have collaborated for over 20 years. After years of concert performances, Mandy saw growing audience demand for a full symphonic experience of his work and partnered with Lin to create this show.

What does love look like in life's later chapters? In this tender, mischievous new collection of poetry, Zack Rogow answers with the hard-won wisdom of a man newly single in his senior years. “After being with the same person for over three decades, I found my life upside down, dating again after the age of 65,” says Rogow, a teacher, playwright, poet, and translator. “I went on over 75 first dates and tried every-which-way to meet someone that I could feel a loving connection with. Luckily, I did, but it was not easy.” Rogow adds: “I didn’t succeed in finding a long-term partner by dating online. I finally met my current partner through our mutual interest in French literature.

With renewed interest in Michael Jackson and the lasting impact of “Smooth Criminal,” I wanted to share a timely guest opportunity that could strongly resonate with your audience.Renowned filmmaker and time-lapse pioneer Louie Schwartzberg helped create the iconic visual style behind Michael Jackson’s legendary “Smooth Criminal” music video, shooting the specialized long-exposure imagery that gave the video its signature dreamlike, streaked effect.Now, Louie is returning with season four of Moving Art, his immersive nature series streamed by millions worldwide. Best known for Fantastic Fungi, Louie combines breathtaking slow-motion cinematography, time-lapse photography, and meditative storytelling to create calming visual experiences designed to reduce stress and reconnect viewers with nature. Louie launched the new season, which journeys through landscapes from the Andes to Antarctica. Louie’s visuals, also featured in Disney’s Soarin’ Around the World and The Sphere in Las Vegas, offer audiences an antidote to overstimulation, anxiety, and doomscrolling through awe, wonder, and mindfulness.What makes Moving Art especially compelling for wellness and therapy-focused audiences is its restorative impact. A University of Pennsylvania study found that watching Moving Art reduced stress by 68% and lowered cortisol levels by 40% among high-anxiety individuals.

I’m always asking questions.  The fun begins when you start researching for answers. Such as…   How are all of these old tv shows making it back to American television?  Laff TV is getting the last laugh!  Plus…are humans the cause of tomorrows dried up desert floors?   I’m Arroe…  I am a daily writer.  A silent wolf.  I stand on the sidelines and do nothing but watch, listen study then activate.  I call it The Daily Mess.  A chronological walk through an everyday world.  Yes, it’s my morning writing.  As a receiver of thoughts and ideas, we as people tend to throw it to the side and deal with it later.  When a subject arrives, I dig in.  It’s still keeping a journal!  By doing the research the picture becomes clearer.  This is the Daily Mess…

-Missed Opportunity- I love sharing conversations.  Hosting requires show prep.  My podcasting platforms feature thousands of guests.  What you don’t have access to are the missed opportunities. The show prep was completed.  The conversation didn’t happen.  I keep all my notes! Paths will cross again.  Let me explain Missed Opportunity.  It’s my questions and statements without their answers.  I’m leaving open enough space at the end of each question hoping they’ll download the talk and insert their answers.Missed Opportunity is a lost piece of history.  Like a message in a bottle tossed out to sea. I hope to locate a destination…
  This week we’re putting focus on my missed opportunity with singer songwriter Holly West from the group Dead Groove. Missed Opportunity.  A lost piece of history.  You know the questions.  Let’s locate the reactions.  The door is always open.  If you are or know Holly West please reach out to me at [email protected] that’s [email protected] Be brilliant!

A Guide to the Document That Inspired Our Nation “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal; that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights; that among these are life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. . . .” So begins the Declaration of Independence, the fabled 1776 document in which a group of men in a distant colony of the British Empire declared their freedom from that Empire — and thus changed the world. But WERE “all men created equal”? What are “unalienable rights”? And how did these men come to write this document anyway?
History and civics professor Katie Kennedy knows how important it is to understand the meaning behind these often-quoted words. In the style of her acclaimed THE CONSTITUTION DECODED and THE PRESIDENTS DECODED, THE DECLARATION DECODED goes through the Declaration sentence by sentence and idea by idea. Readers will gain a deep understanding of not only the basic meaning of the Founders’ now-arcane language, but the historical background against which the Declaration was written, the situations that animated it (especially its 27 distinctly modern “grievances” against King George III), and the powerful arguments it makes about government, rights, responsibilities, and freedoms—arguments that we’re still having 250 years later THE DECLARATION DECODED brings this powerful text to life for a new generation.
