COR Meets World

This week on Cor Meets World, I’m joined by Grant Hutchison, lead singer of The Wallabies, for a deep dive into the story behind one of Chapel Hill’s rising indie alt-rock bands. We get into how The Wallabies came together, the moments that shaped their sound, and what it’s like building a band from the ground up in a music scene as vibrant as Chapel Hill’s.

Grant opens up about their creative process, from songwriting to experimenting with new sounds, and how the band has evolved over time while staying true to their identity. Whether you’re an indie music fan or just curious about what it takes to grow as an artist, there’s a lot to take away from this one.

And of course, we had to keep things fun. We play a game called Band or Bar Band, where I put Grant to the test guessing whether names are real bands or ones I completely made up… some of these get questionable.

In this episode of Cor Meets World, Corey sits down with Bethany Pryor to explore the intersection of sports and theatre.

In this episode of Cor Meets World, I’m joined by Tolu Dapo Adeyemo for a conversation rooted in history, honesty, and real friendship. We talk about how long we’ve known each other, how our relationship has evolved over the years, and what it looks like to grow alongside someone while still challenging each other’s perspectives.

From there, the conversation turns cultural. We unpack Nicki Minaj’s recent alignment with MAGA politics and what that moment reveals about stan culture, selective outrage, and the way people choose when to hold their idols accountable and when not to.

It’s a thoughtful, nuanced discussion about loyalty, identity, and what it means to engage critically with the people and art we love, even when it’s uncomfortable.

Creative Director and visual storyteller Isaiah Kirkpatrick joins Cor Meets World to unpack the making of his exhibition Made In Her Image. It is a tender, powerful study of identity, memory, and the women who shaped him. We dive into his creative process from concept to curation, the stories behind key frames, and how he builds trust with his subjects. Isaiah also shares the journey to his PhotoVogue feature, how he prepared a stand-out portfolio, and the lessons he is learning as a rising artist navigating galleries, critics, and community. If you are a creative, this episode is a masterclass in turning vision into work that moves people.
