The RELEVANT Podcast

This week we talk to one of 2012’s true break-out bands, The Lumineers. They played at The Grammys (and were nominated for two awards), have a newly minted platinum record and are in the new issue of RELEVANT. Yeah, they’re kind of a big deal.

Also in the show, break out the formalwear because it’s time to walk the red carpet and find out who takes home the year’s most coveted “award” celebrating non-celebrity reality TV shows —an Oskarz.biz trophy. We actually don’t have any trophies to give the winners, but we do have Jon Acuff, who serves as this year’s Master of Ceremonies. It’s a segment you won’t want to miss.

This week we talk to one of our favorite indie-rock bands, Local Natives. The L.A. band has just released its second album, Hummingbird, and it’s one you need to check out. We also talk to musician and actress Caitlin Crosby about her organization, “The Giving Keys,” aimed at getting people out of homelessness through the power of recycled keys.

If you had a 3D printer, what would you use it to create?

3D printing is the next big thing, and as costs continue to drop, consumer anticipation continues to build. So this week we want to know, if you had your own 3D printer, what would you use it to create?

This week we introduce you to a fresh voice in the hop-hop world, outspoken M.C. Propaganda. Prop brings an uncompromising message mixed with some sick beats, and yes, we’re big fans. We also talk to author (and former pastor of Mars Hill) Shane Hipps about his new book and thoughts on Christianity and religion. We round out the episode with some discussion about Mark Driscoll‘s controversial political tweet (and Shaun King’s equally divisive reply), Cameron’s first mixtape to Maya, and our favorite David Caruso one-liners (you guys killed it this week).

What is your ultimate late-2000 mixtape?

At some point in all of our lives, we’ve found ourselves on the giving or receiving end of a mixtape. Most likely it was centered around a relationship (or the hope of beginning one), but who can forget the pre-iTunes joy of (what seems to be) the lost art of making and delivering an epic mixtape. Unfortunately, many of these mixtapes were created circa the year 2000 (Linkin Park or Dave Matthews anyone??). So this week, we want you to take a trip down memory lane and tell us your ultimate mixtape (created before 2001). And if you feel so inclined, go make us a Spotify playlist of your mixtape and send us the link. We’ll talk about (and maybe play) some of our favorites on next week’s show.
