October 26, 2023 Ep 49- Jovian: The Up & Coming Musical Superstar Talks His Debut Album "Jovian 2000 AD
Hailing from New York City, JOVIAN‘s new debut album, ‘JOVIAN 2000 AD’, was inspired by his fascination with 70s and 80s sci-fi films. “I thought about how that alternate future would have sounded and created this body of work with that in mind!” He explains.
The ten-track throwback-futuristic album was first introduced to music lovers around the world with the single, I’m Ready’. The breathtakingly beautiful song was written by Jovian and Kay’vion and produced by Jovian and Blood Cultures.
He is here on "The Roundtable" to talk how he came up the ranks, how he is making his own genre of music, and how he writes these songs that we can only describe as a VIBE! Jovian has a sound all himself and you need to get on it before he explodes!
Stream the album wherever music is heard!

October 24, 2023 Ep 47- Author Grace Harry Talks Her New Book "The Joy Strategist" On The Roundtable!
Grace Harry, from the outside, had it all! She had the money, the jobs, the connections, the looks, the famous husband, the kids, but she lacked JOY! Her new book is telling you how you can start your path to finding joy! This was a deep powerful chat you need to hear!
Grace shares a toolbox of playful activities, autobiographical anecdotes, unvarnished truth, and her unbelievably painful experiences with readers—all with the hope that the exercises and lessons contained within will help readers on their journey exploring all dimensions of JOY.
Whether you’re a business executive, a new mother, or someone in a life transition, the pursuit of joy, a vital birthright, is something we all have in common. But capturing it is often easier said than done.

October 21, 2023 Ep 45- Out 100 List Singing Pop Superstar Vincint Is Here For A "Revival" Chat About Songs, The Movement, & More!
Vincint is here. He sent shockwaves on "The Voice" and released a chart topping album that had us all dancing. He is heading out on tour and he just made the list of Out Magazine's Out 100 List! How does he write? What inspires him & so much more is chatted about with this pop superstar doing it is way!
Hailed by PAPER as “one of the greatest vocalists of our generation” and “a legend in the making,” by Billboard, VINCINT’s mission is clear. “I make music to make you cry and make you dance,” he explains. “But most importantly, to make you feel something.”
Since a star-making turn on the Fox competition series The Four in 2018, the Philadelphia native has dominated national conversations and captivated millions across the globe with big-hearted pop music, sang proudly through “a megaphone of self-love,” as described by LADYGUNN. His 2020 debut EP The Feeling was met by critical applause and led to the single “Be Me,” a recent hit that catapulted the artist to stratospheric heights last summer after it became the official Season 5 trailer track of Netflix’s smash series Queer Eye.
VINCINT’s songcraft and radiance has brought him to our culture’s most beloved stages, highlighted by headlining performances at Los Angeles Pride, multiple sold-out shows in New York City and Los Angeles, and the 2020 Oscars as part of Cynthia Erivo’s choir to name a few. It’s all enough for Out Magazine to declare: “You want to talk about a singer?! My god.”

October 19, 2023 Ep 43- Ellen Adair Talks "Herd" In Time For Halloween, Their Love of The Phillies, & Their Thoughts on Gender in Hollywood, & More!
Ellen Adair is here! You have seen her on TV & Movie Screens. You have also seen her on the MLB Network talking Baseball and her beloved Phillies! She is here to tell us of a new way to see her- in this Horror/Thriller "Herd" coming out in time for Halloween!
Because the zombies are not "undead," but people with a virus, it hits closer to home in a number of different ways.In HERD, they're certainly terrifying because they're infectious, but how human are they, still? There's not an obvious moment when a switch is flipped. What's left of their consciousness? And if you're scratched, what's the moment when you're really lost? How long do you have to consciously reckon with your fate? There are parallels with a lot of real, if slower-moving, diseases.
She is telling us all about making the film, the decision to announce being non-binary, how that affects her place in Hollywood, and what is next for this Up & Coming Movie Star! Take a listen!

October 17, 2023 Ep- 41 From "Queer Eye' To Broadway Jai Rodriguez Is Here To Talk His 54 Below Debut!
Emmy Award winner and Broadway veteran Jai Rodriguez returns home to the NYC stage after 17 years, with his new cabaret show A Thousand Sweet Kisses, chronicling his hilarious journey through love, sex and relationships.
Best known as the “Culture Guy” in the groundbreaking original “Queer Eye,” theater audiences first met Jai at the age of 18 when he played Angel in RENT, making him the youngest person ever cast in a leading role in that show. While in NYC, Jai appeared at Lincoln Center in Spinning Into Butter, as Carmen Ghia in The Producers and as Zanna in the cult classic Zanna, Don’t! While performing eight shows a week, Jai became a fixture in nightlife with his popular post modern pop cabaret night at XL called Twisted Cabaret. Since then Jai has become a regular fixture in TV and film guest starring on shows like “Grey’s Anatomy,” “The Rookie,” “The Magicians,” “How I Met Your Mother,” “Fantasy Island,” and as the scene stealing Geoffrey in “Malibu Country” opposite Reba and Lily Tomlin to name a few. Most recently Jai was in the Judd Apatow film BROS and is in “Uncoupled,” which is about to shoot its second season.
A Thousand Sweet Kisses is a hilarious and touching musical cabaret featuring Broadway and pop classics as well as never before told behind the scenes stories. Each night will feature a different surprise guest dueting “I’ll Cover You” from RENT with him. Join us for Jai’s unforgettable return to the NYC stage!
Featuring special guests Claybourne Elder (Company, “The Gilded Age”) on October 26, Orfeh (Tony Award® and Grammy nominee, Legally Blonde) on October 27, and Dan Amboyer (“Younger,” “Uncoupled”) on October 28.
