Bio - Acclaimed novelist Monte Schulz, son of Peanuts creator Charles Schulz, joins the show to discuss Undercity, a genre-blending fantasy-sci-fi thriller set in a hidden underground civilization.

In this uncannily prescient novel eerily relevant to our contemporary political moment, Undercity unfolds across 16 interconnected vignettes, as Schulz charts the lives of two dozen characters desperately trying to survive and retain their humanity in a civil order that has tumbled into totalitarianism. Building on the world Schulz created in his highly successful book Metropolis, Undercity collects the voices of brave survivors, of those who’ve refused to submit to the indignities of eugenical persecution, the horror of gas chambers, and relentless warfare in rural provinces. Some of these stories demonstrate the moral disaster of eugenics, while others tell of courage and love and that indomitable magic of the human spirit that refuses to be silenced in the face of unspeakable crimes.  This sweeping tale is a warning to us, as well, that what we might think is unimaginable needs only apathy and inattention to arise. 

Praise for Metropolis "Eloquent, engaging, thoughtful and thought-provoking, Metropolis showcases author Monte Schulz's impressive skills as a novelist and storyteller. A modern masterpiece of literary fiction..." ― Midwest Book Review

Princeton, Indiana based rapper PRODG does not create music for trends. He creates it for survival. His latest single, Invincible, is a raw and confrontational declaration of resilience, blending message-driven hip hop with rock infused intensity. The track reflects an artist who has learned to stand firmly in his truth, even when the world has tried to silence him.Raised in the isolation of rural Indiana, far from mainstream culture, PRODG grew up surrounded by cornfields and quiet rather than crowds and noise. That solitude shaped his worldview, allowing him to develop a powerful sense of self that now defines both his artistry and identity. “I am not a country boy in an image sense,” he says. “I am a country boy in what country represents, peace and privacy. This world is slowly losing that.”Invincible channels that foundation through razor sharp lyricism and unfiltered honesty. From the opening line, “Razor edge tongue, always speaking blunt,” PRODG establishes himself as an artist unwilling to dilute his voice. His verses confront personal struggle, societal pressure, and emotional survival, offering listeners both reflection and healing. “Every verse I lay is meant to cure,” he explains.Music became PRODG’s refuge early in life, evolving from poetry scribbled in notebooks into fully realized songs shaped by pain, growth, and perseverance. Sonically influenced by artists like Eminem and A$AP Rocky, yet firmly rooted in his own lane, PRODG balances commanding delivery with emotional vulnerability.More than a song, Invincible is a manifesto, a testament to hope, endurance, and the courage to keep going when everything feels stacked against you.

Abe Yellen’s latest single, “South of Italy,” unfolds like a vivid dream an emotionally rich meditation on heartbreak, longing, and the slow journey toward healing. Anchored by layered harmonies reminiscent of The Beach Boys and a hauntingly intimate chorus, Yellen captures the raw vulnerability of love lost. As the song builds, swelling drums and orchestral arrangements expand the sonic landscape, guiding listeners from introspection toward emotional release.The track’s gradual ascent reflects the reality of moving through grief, mirroring the experience of a scenic train ride  one that inspired the song during Yellen’s own travels to Positano on Italy’s Amalfi Coast. “When something hard happens, we want to move on as quickly as possible,” Yellen explains. “But it’s okay to sit in sorrow, let it run its course, and take your time before moving forward.”Music runs deep in Yellen’s family lineage, with Grammy-winning relatives and an uncle who tours as guitarist for country superstar Kenny Chesney. His earliest performances took place in church, where he first learned to play guitar, laying the foundation for a lifelong dedication to music.Professionally, Yellen began his career as a roadie for his brother Winston’s indie folk band, Night Beds. Thrust unexpectedly into the role of drummer during a live performance, Yellen rose to the challenge  a defining moment that launched his evolution as a musician. He later transitioned to guitar, developed into a sought-after full-time producer, and formed his own band in Austin, Texas.Now based in Los Angeles, Yellen is turning his creative focus inward, channeling years of production experience into his own artistry. This renewed direction culminates in his forthcoming album, The Long Goodbye, set for release later this spring. The project explores themes of love, loss, reflection, and renewal, further establishing Yellen’s voice as both intimate and expansive.“South of Italy,” released January 30 with promotional support from Starlight PR, is available across all streaming platforms. Fans can anticipate upcoming music videos and live performances throughout Southern California.

Rock and roll enthusiast Rourke blends classic rock, politics, and compassion into his latest single, “I Can’t Breathe,” part of his upcoming album Starstruck, set for release before summer. Writing about real people and real events, Rourke maintains the true spirit of rock while delivering songs that resonate deeply.“My goal is to create a brand of rock that brings the genre back to where it used to be, where the 70s meet the 80s. I want to write songs that stay in your head, the kind you are still hearing an hour later. That’s what’s missing from rock and roll these days. I want to bring rock back to basics,” Rourke shares.Rourke’s musical journey began in his preteen years when he first picked up the guitar. Though he later pursued film school, music eventually became his primary platform for expression. In 2016, after growing frustrated by political debates on social media, he stepped away and returned to his guitar, channeling his emotions into songwriting. What began as personal release quickly evolved into a powerful creative outlet. Within a short time, he had written over 1,000 unfinished songs, setting the stage for what would become Starstruck.Over the past five years, Rourke has dedicated his spare time to developing the album one story at a time. What started as an acoustic demo inspired by Guns N’ Roses and classic 70s and 80s rock gradually evolved into a full electric production featuring hard rock, blues, and emotional ballads. The album consists of ten songs accompanied by original artwork, including a cover photo Rourke captured himself while driving through downtown Los Angeles, which became a symbolic reflection of division in America.Working alongside his producer and studio musicians in Los Angeles, the project grew from a simple four song demo into a full band album and immersive musical experience.“I Can’t Breathe,” the album’s third single, delivers a powerful and emotional message inspired by the death of George Floyd and the broader struggles facing the country. The song takes listeners through five emotional stages of the Black experience, beginning with fear, anger, sadness, and frustration before resolving with hope. “When I first wrote it, I started on acoustic guitar,” Rourke explains. “The outro was added at the last minute because it didn’t feel complete without it.”With help from childhood friend Rami Jaffee of Foo Fighters, who performs keyboards throughout the album, Rourke transformed the track into a moving statement piece. Guitarist Richard Fortus of Guns N’ Roses also contributes to two tracks, adding depth and intensity to the record.Listeners drawn to socially conscious rock should also explore Rourke’s single “Rise,” which he describes as his “Michelle Obama” song. Inspired by her famous quote, “When they go low, we go high,” Rourke turned the phrase into the chorus “When they go low, we rise.” The call and response structure transforms political tension into a soaring rock anthem, drawing comparisons to Bon Jovi and Green Day.

Bio
Pran is a pop artist from Thailand who draws inspiration from love, one of the most timeless and universal themes in music. His latest single, ’Till The End (For You), celebrates the idea that true love is always worth fighting for. Blending pop and R&B with subtle EDM influences, the track delivers both emotional depth and an uplifting energy.  The song came together during a period of creative exploration. While Pran was still discovering the direction he wanted to take with his album, his manager shared several reference tracks that helped guide the process. Inspired by those songs, Pran began shaping his own sound, and the hook quickly became something he could not shake. In the chorus, he sings:  Cause I know you would fight for me Cause I see that you trusted me Cause I saw that you care for me  The track captures the strength and security of real love and the fear of losing something that feels unbreakable. Its production creates an energetic, comforting atmosphere, while Pran’s light and airy vocals reflect the weightless feeling of a love that feels endless.  “When you have love, you have to fight for it,” Pran says.  As a songwriter, Pran often explores the many layers of love. His previous single, All I Need Is Love, focused on heartbreak, while ’Till The End (For You) continues the story from a different perspective. This new release represents the next chapter, where love has been found and is now something worth protecting.  “This song is connected to my previous single because while that one was about heartbreak, the character found love in the end,” he explains. “Now the character is in a fulfilling relationship and he’s continuing to fight for it.”  This marks only Pran’s second official single, and he is excited to finally share it with listeners. While he initially felt some anxiety releasing his earlier work, he also felt a sense of relief and freedom once the music reached the world. Being able to release the music he truly envisioned and present it authentically has been a rewarding experience.  “I love the freedom of being able to release music without any restrictions,” he says.  Pran’s album is set for release later this year. While love will remain a central theme in his music, he also plans to explore new subjects and expand his creative range.  “I hope people enjoy the music and have a great time listening to it,” he adds.  ’Till The End (For You) is available now on all major streaming platforms. Fans can follow Pran on his social channels to discover more of his love-driven music.

With his new single “AYA,” DJ Frank Delour delivers a compelling Afro House release built for dance floors worldwide. Layered conga rhythms, warm keyboard chords, textured sound design, and soulful African vocals come together in an uplifting, peak-hour–ready track that stays true to Delour’s signature sound. “AYA” follows a series of 2025 releases and reflects Delour’s intention to close out the year on a high note. “I wanted a powerful record that was uplifting and still adhered to my style,” he says. “Something that could easily be the choice to rock the crowd during peak hours.” Living a distinctly cosmopolitan lifestyle, Delour performs exclusive dates across the globe—from Rome to St. Tropez while splitting his time between Miami Beach and New York City for luxury-market residencies and studio work. He is currently in the midst of a three-week residency at Papaya Playa Project in Tulum, Mexico, performing alongside artists such as Lee Burridge and Marten Lou. Since 2021, Delour has maintained an impressively prolific output, releasing more than 40 singles. At the core of Delour’s music is an unmistakably positive energy, which he attributes to his conversion to Buddhism several years ago. “I had to step away from derogatory and misogynistic themes in certain genres if I was going to be true to what I was practicing,” he explains. Afro House became the perfect outlet—allowing him to create spiritually uplifting music aligned with his values. His goal is simple yet profound: to inspire. Delour hopes his tracks carry hope, healing, and positive energy qualities shaped by his own journey through struggle, resilience, and reinvention. Delour’s career began in the 1990s, including a production deal with Island Records, followed by years as a sought-after collaborator producing and programming drums for major acts such as NSYNC. While major-label success brought financial rewards, it also came with creative compromises. Reflecting on his journey, Delour recently wrote on Instagram:
“I have risen, fallen, risen again… reset, restarted, reinvented. Gotten opportunities, lost opportunities. Offered $1 million, lost the contract. Rejoiced, suffered, failed and tried again. My journey feels like an eternity of hills and valleys, but one thing stayed consistent: I kept going.” Now, with clarity earned through experience, Frank Delour is fully focused on his own artistic path. “Even though the monetary success of being part of a major label was great,” he says, “the most important thing for me right now is being able to hone in on my own vision answer to no one and do it my way, at my own pace.”
