At 23, Wayne Hesler-Mondore had never owned a business. He wanted to buy one anyway. So he walked into a Utica bank and asked for $85,000. When the banker didn't say yes, Wayne kept asking. When the banker worked out of a different branch on Wednesdays, Wayne showed up there too.

That's just the opening chapter of the story Wayne tells on the newest episode of Behind the Open Sign, the freshly renamed podcast from hosts Tammy Crossway and Carl Ulinski that goes behind the scenes with the people running businesses across the Mohawk Valley.

Season two of the Building Local Business podcast launched with a familiar face and a lot of new ground.

Host Carl Ulinski sat down with Tammy Crossway of Renewed and Rescued, who returned as a guest and was newly announced as a co-host.

The Coach Dave Schuman, VOICE OF REASON FRANK CRISTIANO, and Steve Culley argue over Iran, talk history of Palestine, how choking off resources to Iran will put an end to this war in time.

Ava Bently, Dave Warner, and Barrie Birch go head to head on Suno's new download caps, Spotify's AI badges, and why the industry keeps getting the story wrong

Something is shifting fast in AI music, and three of the artists living through it just sat down to talk about it with no filter.

On the latest episode of Put a Mic in It, host Ava Bently is joined by producer Dave Warner and UK artist Barrie Birch (the creator behind Cyber Monday and JJ Felix) for a candid, occasionally heated conversation about Suno's new 60-download monthly cap, Spotify's incoming "AI persona" badge, and the growing backlash aimed at artists who use AI tools to make music.

Finally, the return of Coach Schuman, with the VOICE OF REASON FRANK CRISTIANO, and host Steve Cully for Rebel Republic. We talk about South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham's seat going to his wife, Iran is never going to surrender, inflation continues, gas prices have stopped rising but are still very high, and what can Trump do to help secure critical seats at the midterm elections, all this and more on Rebel Republic.

On the latest episode of Small Town Life, host Dave Warner sat down with returning guest Ray Lenarcic for what turned into one of the most personal conversations the show has had.

Lenarcic didn't come to talk about history in the abstract - he came to talk about family.

Exactly 249 years to the day, his fifth great-grandfather, Joseph Snell, along with four brothers and four cousins from Stone Arabia, answered General Nicholas Herkimer's call to muster at Fort Dayton. They were farmers. Most never came home.

The Coach Dave Schuman, VOICE OF REASON FRANK CRISTIANO, and host Steve Cully are here for Rebel Republic. The best conservative political talk show in all of Central New York and New England. Frank is confident that our plan is working against Iran; they are running out of money. He believes we need to arm the citizens, which he has said for weeks, and it does not appear to be happening. Dave is concerned because we jumped in this war backing Israel, when he does not see an end in sight. This is about religion: Islam and the Jewish faith; people have been at war for thousands of years. An agreement in the preliminary stages is meaningless because the guys believe Iran will violate the terms of anything drawn up, along with the fact we don't know who is in charge. UFC Freedom 250 was an overdone spectacle, with the last fight saving the show. American Justin Gathje defeated Illia Topuria to win the Lightweight Championship. At 37, he became the oldest to hold the title and beat Topuria, considered pound for pound the best fighter in the UFC. An entertaining, argumentative, Rebel Republic.

What does it take to build a rock star from scratch — voice, image, backstory, and all? That's exactly the question at the heart of the latest episode of Put a Mic In It!, host Ava Bently's podcast on the Studio 25 Podcast Network.

Episode 9 features Barrie, the UK-based creator behind JJ Felix, a fully AI-generated musical artist who has amassed a devoted fanbase — and is already on his second album.
