Talking Out of Harmony

As the socio-political landscape of the United States changes, the media that comes out is indicative of the artist’s views change to correlate with the discontent of the general public. Today on talking out of harmony, we sit down and talk to author, philanthropist and entrepreneur, Chris A. Piazza of the book Echoes of Dissonance, a recollection of the recent renaissance made and how societal infrastructures and modern issues have dictated said renaissance to flourish in the modern day. Along with discussing four contributing factors that have allowed him to pave away for himself amidst the ever-shifting world we currently live in.

What a person experiences in their life is often passed down as a lesson to the people they interact with later on in their story. Today, Talking Out Of Harmony returns to sit down and have a chat with Aaron Melnick (Nuclae, Inmates, Intergrity) to discuss the release of his new book, Bringing Out The Beast , how he found music in his upbringing from an early age, all the way to how he found a passion in teaching science at a local high school in Cleveland.

"Trailblazer" is an overused word in today's day and age; however, if an individual kicks down doors and leaves things better than they found them, the term is befitting. No one exemplifies that term more than Mary Kay Cabot. A last-minute decision defined the rest of her life and etched her name in history, providing women in her male-dominated profession a place to call home. In her 30th season, she has done and seen it all, from headbanging with Bill Belichick to her son putting Baker Mayfield in his place. Join us as we embark on this journey with her and look towards the future.

On this episode of Talking Out of Harmony, we sit down with Paul Schlacter, owner of Now That’s Class, member of various bands and now full time resident of Puerto Rico. We discuss his life coming up to being an anchor in the Cleveland punk scene, which include his time in New York, the bands he’s been in, and his life after providing kids a place to enjoy their favorite music. Put on your gold chain and listen to another installment of Talking Out Of Harmony.

On this episode of talking out of Harmony we interview Roger James Moore, Matt and Jack's grandfather and Dan’s dad.  We call him Papa Roger. Roger loves history.  He is our family historian and has passed on our history through stories over the years; stories he heard first hand from his father growing up when they would sit out in the garage and a young, curious Roger would listen.  This year we bought a subscription to Storyworth, a weekly service that sends a question to Roger about his life.  At the end of a year, the stories are bound together into a book to preserve them for future generations. We’ve been working on this project with him for about three months, and wanted to bring one of the writing sessions to Talking Out of Harmony.  Every family has stories to tell.  We hope sharing ours will prompt some questions for your family members.  Happy Holidays!  Don't forget to check out Papa Roger's handpicked playlist!
