Moe Knows Best is a designer, brand strategist, and content creator for some of the worlds biggest producers and DJs. I got to sit with him for nearly two hours to learn how he is able to anticipate changes in the music business, and what keeps his style fresh after over 25 years in the game. To level up your EPK, get your sizzle reel, or for design work visit:

Suzanne Nagel is the founder and owner of the Om Lounge yoga studios in the Strip and East Liberty. She is a mother, teacher, and leads retreats around the world. She is known as a mentor for young instructors and also for her rigorous classes that push students to achieve more. Our first conversation was one of my earliest and most popular episodes. It encouraged me to keep going with the podcast when I saw the success I had with our first talk. This episode covers more personal topics including relationship advice, how to succeed as a yoga teacher, our yoga peeves, and much more.

BROKEN - 7/12/24

Ketchup City - Sharpsburg

Bob Freyer is one of Pittsburgh's most significant active visual artists. He has a long history of repping the city with his complex work that taps into his background in hip hop/graffiti, skateboarding and comics. He has sold art to some of the cultures finest including legends like KRS and Rakim. While we don't put too much stock into any awards it is pretty cool that he has won the Pgh City Paper's 'best visual artist' award 2 of the last 3 years. We had a ton of common ground to cover and talk for over two hours about art and his process, conspiracy theories, sopranos and breaking bad, star wars, and a lot more. We shouted:

Hutch Bailie is a husband, father, fireman, and soldier based in Pittsburgh PA. After playing three sports in college he found himself deployed to Afghanistan where he defended Bagram air base from rocket attacks. When he came home he applied for police and fire but the fire house responded faster and now he can't imagine having done anything else. He is a lieutenant with the Pgh Fire Dept. We discuss a wide variety of topics and shouted out the following:

Chad Simon ( @arigold412 ) is connected to the heartbeat of Pgh. In the service industry, music industry, and sports industry of the 412 his name rings bells. We got into the details of the loss of his relationship with his mom and breakup with his family business, and even had a couple of phone in interviews with some corroborating witnesses. The episode was a fun one, and quite long topping out around 200 minutes.

Eric 'DJ Strobe' Cohen has been mixing records longer than I’ve been alive. He has a deep love for soulful house music and a passion for sharing the wisdom he’s acquired with the next generation of DJs and producers. As a recording artist he has dozens of number one billboard singles and multiple gold records to his credit. He has toured the world and played with legends in the electronic world like Todd Terry, Moby, and many more. Since moving to Ontario in 2018 he has been focusing on family but still DJs locally and on Twitch, produces records, and has been selling pickles (strobes disco pickles coming to a store near you.) We discuss his career, advice for up and comers, the differences between house and techno, and the golden era of dance music in NYC.

Montana Mitchell (@MontiFresh ) is a dynamic yoga instructor and podcaster who came to Pittsburgh originally to study dance at Point Park. She has become one of the cities’ most demanded teachers with high energy classes at YogaSix and Yoga Flow. Her offerings have grown to include a busy collaboration with ‘The Retreat’ and ‘The Yoga Chat’ a podcast which has become one of the biggest in the 412 which she cohosts alongside May McReery ( @MayBelle13 ). She is also leading a 300 hr teacher training through YogaSix which may be filled by the time this post goes live. We discussed wellness in the US, the state of the yoga industry, how she survived the end of her career in dance and pivoted to teaching yoga, traded travel tales, and much more. I also got very personal on this podcast, opening up about my history as a survivor of abuse, history of depression, and much more. One topic I would have loved to ask about is Montana’s personal approach to wellness including her current diet, supplement, and exercise regimen - I would encourage you to subscribe and listen to @theyogachat to hear more on this.
