Edward T Martin Show Featuring Hilary Kemp

Hilary and Edward T have not recorded in almost 6 months - WTH, man?  So they decide it's catch-up time, and they wind up all over the map. Edward T and Hilary want to talk about guilty pleasures, but then realize that they haven't even recorded for six months - what the hell, man?!  So they decide to catch you, the listener, up to date on what's been going on, and they wind up all over the map.  They start with their adventures with work and staying employed, and ETM goes off on a culture rant about moving back to his 'beloved' Denver, Colorado.   Hilary tells ETM about a song called "Welcome to Earth, Third Rock from the Sun".  ETM's head just about explodes when he finds out that Hilary is recommending a country song, which causes Edward T to go on a rant about Lady Gaga.  Say what? But then ETM spins on a dime, details his anti-sexual conquests and announces he has had it with his own viewpoints of the world, and has decided to give himself to being what he thinks is bad, rather than what he thought was good. What does he mean by that? ETM then gives you a Media Minute, recommending the streaming-media service, Spotify.  He recommends it for one reason: Comedy.  He then gives you some choice comedy clips from such great comedians as Greg Giraldo, Patton Oswalt, The Sklar Brothers, Louis C.K. and Bill Burr. Finally, just before signing off, Edward T informs Hilary that he will kill himself during the next recording.  He says he's kidding, but kind of not.  He then details one of his favorite films, Sidney Lumet's "Network", in which Academy Award winner Peter Finch gives a speech in which he will commit suicide live on the air, because being a broadcaster was his life, and he has been retired by the network. Edward T is obviously not serious (after all, how is he writing this in third person right now?), but he details his desperation and discouragement through the art form of film. Hilary is just flat-out freaked-out.  *CLICK HERE TO LISTEN* Right Click and select "SAVE LINK AS..." or "SAVE AS..." to download to your computer.

Hilary takes over as host for the first time and asks Edward T about his childhood.  ETM talks about what he calls "The Incident", the thing he feels ruined both his childhood and in his view, the rest of his adult life. *PLEASE NOTE*: This show contains some of the most disturbing information the two have discussed on this program. Please be sure you are aware of your surroundings.  This episode is not safe for work (NSFW) nor is safe for children to hear. Hilary takes over as host for the first time, because she wants to ask some question of Edward T.  Specifically, she wants to know where this guy came from.  We already know he's from Detroit, but what about his childhood? What was it like? ETM and Hilary then discuss childhood in general, and it turns out they can agree on one thing: the both think childhood sucks.  Hilary for reasons you will find out, and Edward T for what he calls "The Incident", something that ruined his childhood, and from his point of view, destroyed any chance of a normal adulthood as well. Listen to it and find out for yourself.  *CLICK HERE TO LISTEN*Right Click and select "SAVE LINK AS..." or "SAVE AS..." to download to your computer.(Be patient, may take a few minutes to download -  and be sure your Pop-Up Blocker is off).*Or Listen Here on iTunes*(You DON'T need a Mac to listen on iTunes) Time: 69:09

Edward T ventures into new territory as his mind gets some new doors opened, courtesy of Paula Robbins, hypnotherapist. The long hot summer is almost over, and Edward T & Hilary are closer to doing a new show.  But first, ETM has some serious questions he wants answered about why he wound up in Colorado.  So he ventures south of Denver to Centennial, CO, and visits the office of Paula Robbins, CCHt - she is a professional transpersonal hypnotherapist, career counselor and small business growth advisor. ETM lets his brain venture in all directions as Paula introduces some new concepts that he has never heard of - like healing at a cellular level, and thus making major shifts happen in life.  Say what?  It's a fact.   Paula and ETM also discuss his favorite subject - doing what you love for a living.  Paula is a stellar example of this, as she shares her story and then lays down some intense grooves for ETM - but is he willing to pick them up?

Edward T has an idea - that the less you have to sleep, the more successful you will be, simply because you can get more done. Hilary, of course, does not quite agree.  Hilary refutes Edward T's latest idea: that people who have to sleep less are more successful, because they can get more done. Also, ETM finally gives in and not only listens to "This American Life", he even recommends it in the latest Media Minute.  How does Hilary react to this news? *CLICK HERE TO LISTEN*Right Click and select "SAVE LINK AS..." or "SAVE AS..." to download to your computer.(Be patient, may take a few minutes to download -  and be sure your Pop-Up Blocker is off).*Or Listen Here on iTunes*(You DON'T need a Mac to listen on iTunes)Time: 56:29 Enjoy!

Part II of Hilary and Edward T's argument about sexual behavior. Who wins? Find out! The argument continues as an iTunes ONLY exclusive! Hilary and Edward T's argument about sexual behavior continues! Hilary says monogamy and sex do not have to mix, in fact it's better they don't. ETM calls B.S.!! It's a rollicking donnybrook in the old-school manner. Ironically, after all the bickering about sex, they get back to love. Can you believe it? How does this happen?

Hilary asks Edward T what his definition of love is.  Quickly, the show goes from a talk about love to an argument about sexual behavior. What else would you expect from these two? Hilary wants to know Edward T's definition of love. After a painful recounting of a recent bid for love, ETM gives his definition. Hilary doesn't give hers, but instead points out that not only are sex and love not the same thing, but that the twain rarely ever cross, nor should they. And that's when the argument begins. In the middle of all that, ETM goes on another "this city sucks' rant. But unbelievably, this time it's not about Seattle! Edward T rips into none other than Denver this time, pointing out how he feels his former hometown has been over-run by fundamentalist Christians attempting to convert anyone in their sight-line, and he's fed up with it. Also: an awesome deconstruction of a song by Philadelphia band War on Drugs, "Brothers".  Edward T hears a combination of several disparate elements, from Roxy Music, Gin Blossoms, Phil Spector's 'Wall of Sound' and even Bob Dylan, all rolled into one.  His mind is blown, and he hopes yours will be too, on this show's edition of the ever-comprehensive Media Minute.  Philadelphia band War On Drugs new song "Brothers": Aaaahhhhhhh!!!! Lazarus falls off a cliff!! From the Star Trek episode "The Alternative Factor": *CLICK HERE TO LISTEN*Right Click and select "SAVE LINK AS..." or "SAVE AS..." to download to your computer.(Be patient, may take a few minutes to download -  and be sure your Pop-Up Blocker is off).*Or Listen Here on iTunes*(You DON'T need a Mac to listen on iTunes)Time: 53:00 Enjoy!

ETM welcomes dear friend, creator and president of YAPS© (Youth and Pet Survivors), Anne Ingalls Gillespie, to the show. YAPS© is a pen pal program that matches pediatric cancer patients with dogs and cats who have survived cancer or other serious medical conditions.  ETM welcomes dear friend, creator and president of YAPS© (Youth and Pet Survivors), Anne Ingalls Gillespie, to the show. YAPS© is a pen pal program that matches pediatric cancer patients with dogs and cats who have survived cancer or other serious medical conditions.  After finding out a little about Anne and having fun talking about Star Trek, Edward T wants to know: does a program like this really help with the health of human (as well as a pet) or is this just some new-agey, namby-pamby way of avoiding the issue of cancer?  You may be surprised with the answer. Then, Edward T presents a Media Minute, featuring the "Up Series" and "49 Up" a series of films that Edward T feels shows the best of humanity, just as the YAPS program does.  And it also backs up ETM's belief that many of us, if not most of us, know exactly what we want to do by the time a child is seven years old.

Getting rid of all stress is just a myth, and some of it may be good for you, according to Hilary. Say what? Isn't stress, all stress supposed to be bad for you? Find out! Getting rid of all stress is just a myth, and some of it may be good for you, according to Hilary. Say what? First, Edward T kicks it off by playing a message from their phone line (660-386-0077), a call from a less than enthused listener who has less than stellar things to say about guest Annie Savoy from show #74.   ETM then tells Hilary about the passing of .Dr. Robert Adler, a pioneer in field of stress research.  Edward T relates that he is stressed out over his current situation, but Hilary says that the myth that all stress must go away, and that stress is not all bad. Say what? Hilary presents a Science Minute, telling Edward T about suicide at a micro level. Huh? True story.  And then Edward T lays on Hilary the show "Portlandia" on the Media Minute, as well as the intro them to the show, a song by Washed Out called "Feel It All Around"..
