Midas that combines art, elaborate storytelling, poetry, music and podcasting in collaboration with other talented individuals as at long last we see a complete Midas in reality. See what Jay and others have to say throughout this unique and elevated chapter. No special effects, or A.I required. The purpose of these episodes is to cast a spotlight on some contemporary independent talent who provide community and also host and coordinate local events throughout NYC.Jay R. Midas has the pleasure of sitting down with a friend and contemporary of the craft, Negus. The episode opens up with an a cappella soundbyte serving as a much needed reminder to, "live in the world". This conversation details Negus's development as an artist, the value of a decade's worth of experience, the formation of the Stoners Circus Series- along with hosting a traveling Open Mic throughout NYC. Wisdom flows through Negus who carries himself with natural humility and leadership. He shares a some gems that may help another on their journey of performing and event hosting. Jay R. Midas closes the episode with a brief sci-fi quandary poetry performance for his guest, "On the Other Side of a Blackhole".*Note from Jay about Negus and his Mic*Negus and his team- Capital Q, Shyyloh, Demi Divine among others cultivate an experience at Stoners Circus Series, currently operating in areas such as Brooklyn and Harlem in NYC. Each event and venue has it's own unique identity which is designed to be both classy and chaotic- the aesthetic and the performances encapsulate the very identity of our native New Yorker roots in our beautiful BIPOC communities. The Stoners Circus Open Mic continues to innovate and evolve, providing services such as professional action shots and contests for opportunities to perform for higher profile showcases.Stoners Circus Open Mic Series- Check @the_stoners_circus and @negus_music on Instagram for up to date notifications.

Soundbyte Title: The Hymn of Time

"Long Term"

Poem about the type of love we do not get to think about often.  The one that hurt hearts say rarely last, but when it does it leaves a permanent impression.  A message of hope and reality.
