This week, inspired by a meme on the RAD Prodcast Group, a new music playlist is born from the question "You are quarantined with the first artist you saw in concert, who is it?" Do you remember? Also, special announcements regarding our friends Melissa and Brent (aka Scooby & Shaggy) from SPIRIT (sacspirit.com). There's also some special news about our friends Chad & Carissa from our "Potcast" regarding their cannabis cultivation business! Quick updates on the Prod Head song cover collabortion for "Over The Rainbow" and "Don't Bring Me Down" as well as a teaser for some sex related topics. How does a Prodcast Confessional sound?  Stay tuned for more!

In this week's episode, Brandon opens up about the individual battles we are going through during these times of violence, division and uncertainty. Producer Nick shares a very heartfelt perspective after listening to the show on a cross-country drive. Also, Elon Musk. Is he a freak in the sheets or a dead lay? Prodheads weigh in on what they think his kinks are in a Facebook group survey.  

While we are all engulfed in so much negativity these days, Brandon put together a Facebook Group survey asking the Prodheads "What song brings you joy?" With hundreds of responses, Brandon has created the ultimate "feel good" playlist available now on Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3kqjXFVE8rzoBMtUN3sMTV?si=nNPWAhN8S9qD0ck98bcsjQ

To close, Brandon reads a story about how Dave Chappelle addressed a racist during one of his live shows that may instill hope in those who don't think people can change their minds and focus on loving each other, rather than hating each other.

Who would you say is your hero? This week, Producer Brandon reflects on how heroic music can be during times when our reality is harsh and difficult to handle at times. Hardships are not far from our doorsteps, if they're not already at home. During these times it can help to remember those who have inspired us to keep driving to get the most out of life, or even remember those who have literally saved our lives or a life of a loved one. Heroism comes in many forms. This episode concludes with a cover of "My Hero" by the Foo Fighters to acknowledge those heroes all around us, whoever they may be.

In my opinion, Bill Withers’ song “Lean On Me” means that it is okay to be weak while leaning to others in times of need. it is okay to trust others with your sorrow. It is okay to let your guard down and let your friends catch you. This song means that sometimes we cannot endure it alone and it is okay to lean on other people.

A huge thank you to all of the “Prodheads” and supporters that made this collaboration possible. It was humbling to get such a great response and your talents are a true inspiration. In these difficult times, one thing is for sure, music can heal, bring us together and help us find our way back to ourselves.
