In today’s world, it feels like people can’t have a conversation without getting offended—or worse, turning sensitivity into anger and even violence. But here’s the truth: being overly sensitive is a creativity killer. On this episode, we break down why thick skin is essential for artists, creators, and anyone chasing success. Learn how to handle criticism without folding, turn emotions into fuel for your craft, and stop letting over-sensitivity hold you back. If you’re ready to grow, create, and succeed, this one’s for you.

As artists, we often demand so much from ourselves—long nights, endless rehearsals, constant creating—without realizing that our bodies need proper fuel to keep up with our vision. Nutrient deficiencies can creep in quietly, leaving us drained, unfocused, and even emotionally unsteady, which directly impacts our production and creative drive. But the good news is, when we take care of our health—whether through better nutrition, rest, or mindful habits—we unlock deeper energy, sharper focus, and stronger resilience. This upcoming show will explore how nourishing yourself properly isn’t just about staying healthy—it’s about protecting your creativity and ensuring your art continues to thrive.

Tomorrow morning on The John Henry Soto Show, we’ll take a heartfelt look at the legendary artists we've lost over the past two weeks—giants like Ozzy Osbourne, Hulk Hogan, Connie Francis, Dame Cleo Laine, and Malcolm-Jamal Warner. These icons weren’t just entertainers—they were cultural game-changers who shaped music, television, and storytelling across generations. We’ll explore their contributions, the impact they’ve had on our lives, and why their legacies matter now more than ever. Join me as we celebrate their art, their influence, and the inspiration they continue to provide.

For decades, we were told things about food that turned out to be flat-out lies. From margarine being “healthier” than butter, to eggs being vilified for cholesterol, to fat-free everything being the key to weight loss—it turns out much of what we were taught was more marketing than science. In this episode, we’re digging into the myths we swallowed whole, uncovering who really benefited from the misinformation, and setting the record straight on what’s actually good for us. Get ready to question everything you thought you knew about your plate!

Late-night talk shows are facing a major identity shift—viewership is down, formats feel tired, and audiences are craving something real, fresh, and unpredictable. Networks are trying to hold onto relevance by recycling safe names or repackaging the same old formula. But this is exactly why George and I should be considered to host a late-night show. We’re completely unknowns—and that’s our superpower. We bring raw chemistry, humor, sharp insight, and the kind of unpredictable conversations you just don’t get anymore. No suits, no fluff—just two guys with experience, perspective, and a mic. Late night needs a shake-up. We’re it.

John "JR" Robinson (born December 29, 1954, in Creston, Iowa) is widely

Over the years, we've had the absolute honor of interviewing some of the greatest musicians, producers, and icons in the industry. Each one brought stories, wisdom, and inspiration that left a lasting mark on us—and hopefully on you too. That's why we're kicking off our Music Legend Series on the next show! 🎤🔥 We’ve had so many incredible conversations that deserve to be revisited, celebrated, and shared with a new audience. These aren’t just interviews—they’re moments in music history. Join us as we look back, reflect, and highlight the legends who helped shape the soundtrack of our lives. You won't want to miss it!

On our next show, we’re diving into the boldly titled “The World Is Changing and It Cannot Be Stopped”—but don’t worry, it’s not the end of the world… it’s just a fun title! While it sounds dramatic, the episode is all about embracing the chaos of life with humor, creativity, and maybe a little caffeine. We’ll chat about how trends, tech, and even toast toppings are constantly evolving, and why trying to keep up can feel like chasing a squirrel on a treadmill. It’s going to be unpredictable, a little weird, and a lot of fun—just like the world itself. Or Maybe we're very serious and this world is F$%ked!!!

Today, it seems like every aspect of life—film, music, health, politics—has split into opposing sides, constantly at odds. Whether it’s artistic expression being politicized, differing opinions on healthcare practices, or even which music reflects the “right” values, the tension is relentless. The pressure to pick a side can be overwhelming, as if neutrality means ignorance or weakness. But maybe the real strength lies in observing both sides, asking better questions, and seeking understanding instead of division. You don’t always have to pick a side—you can choose perspective, empathy, and independent thought.

Welcome to Blah’d and Confused! On this show we will say everything and absolutely nothing at the same time! No scripts, no experts—just real talk, random tangents, and unapologetic blah blah blah. Tune in for a rollercoaster of weird thoughts, unexpected laughs, and occasional moments of “Wait… that actually made sense.” Let’s blah.
