Musician and singer-songwriter Jon Mads Blue joins Coach Dini on Vigilantes Radio Live for a conversation about rediscovering creativity, returning to music after decades away, and why sometimes the things we’re meant to do have a strange way of finding us again.

Jon’s latest single, “New Car,” comes from his upcoming album GRAVITY (no situation) and mixes pop-rock energy with humor through the story of a man who may love his automobile just a little more than his relationship.
But Jon’s story reaches far beyond one song.

After picking up the guitar at 12, playing in a band by 16 and developing an early love for songwriting, life eventually moved music to the background. He spent three decades in real estate and several years painting before unexpectedly returning to the guitar. Soon the songs began flowing again, old musical relationships resurfaced, and a handful of ideas quickly became a full collection of material.

Jon and Coach Dini explore the influence of The Beatles, the role of humor in songwriting, why positivity matters in his music, the freedom of creating without chasing trends, and what it means to rediscover a dream later in life.
Sometimes you don’t have to find your passion again.

Sometimes you simply have to become quiet enough to notice that it never really left.

Keef Carter returns to Vigilantes Radio Live for a deeper conversation about identity, storytelling, ownership and the next evolution of his creative career.
The Harlem alternative hip-hop artist first joined Coach Dini to discuss his ByKEEF trilogy, the influence of Kanye West and Cassidy, his unconventional MTA songwriting process, and his belief that art can bring people back to life.
This time, one statement changes the entire conversation:
“I’m not really an artist. I’m a writer.”
Keef opens up about what that realization means, why “Black boy joy” became central to his storytelling, the role Harlem continues to play in his creative identity, and how art galleries, train rides, fashion, film and everyday observation shape his writing.
The conversation also explores Keef’s plans to build a music production label, what ownership really means in today’s industry, whether he’d rather create a hit for someone else than perform one himself, and how his ambition is evolving beyond simply becoming a successful recording artist.
With BYKEEFX3 approaching and an August 28 performance at Trixx Lounge in Indianapolis on the horizon, Keef isn’t simply preparing another release.

He’s beginning to define what comes after being the person behind the microphone.

What if some of your greatest creative years don’t arrive until your second act?
Award-winning singer-songwriter Glen Hofbauer joins Coach Dini on Vigilantes Radio Live for a nostalgic and deeply human conversation surrounding his latest Americana Folk Rock single, “When We Were Cool.”
Originally inspired by a performance at a high school’s 100th alumni banquet, the song became a celebration of those universal moments when friends, music, slang, school days and youthful confidence made us believe we were the coolest people alive.
But Glen’s story reaches far beyond nostalgia. After playing in a garage band during high school, life eventually pushed music to the background. Roughly four decades later, he returned to his passion and has since built a second chapter that includes ten albums and being named “One To Watch” twice by the Nashville Songwriters Association.
Glen and Coach Dini explore why memories become more valuable with age, the relationship between nostalgia and songwriting, returning to a dream after decades away, refusing to be confined by genre, and why creativity doesn’t come with an expiration date.

Sometimes moving forward begins by remembering what made you feel alive in the first place.

Americans Favorite Couple Top 5 group finalist Jasper & Ieshia 

What does America’s favorite couple actually look like when the cameras aren’t around?

For Ieshia Robinson and Jasper Thibodeaux, it might look like two people inside an 18-wheeler somewhere between a pickup and delivery. It might look like an $80 Instacart day, clearing ditches, hauling junk, buying and reselling merchandise, learning unfamiliar industries, creating businesses from scratch—or finding somewhere unexpected to have a date night hundreds of miles from home.

Since meeting through Facebook Dating in 2024, Ieshia and Jasper have turned an unexpected connection into a partnership spanning love, entrepreneurship, trucking, music, comedy, travel, creativity and family.

Now, after reaching the Top 5 of America’s Favorite Couple, they return to Vigilantes Radio Live at a pivotal moment: only one couple from their group can advance to the finals.

But Coach Dini isn’t simply asking why people should vote for them.

This conversation goes deeper.

Ieshia and Jasper revisit the days when $80 felt significant, the transition from side hustles to operating JT Master Logistics, living together almost 24/7 inside their 2019 Mack Anthem, Ieshia’s secret binder containing nearly 20 of Jasper’s future business ideas, keeping romance alive while working together, the criticism surrounding the speed and intensity of their relationship, and the devastating loss of their beloved Shar-Pei, Kloe.

It’s a conversation about two imperfect people who didn’t meet after the dream had already been built.

They met—and started building it together.

Now America gets to decide how far that story goes.

After more than four decades of scientific research, over 200 published papers, international work spanning 30 countries, and a distinguished career at the CDC, Dr. Michael Kosoy arrived at a surprising conclusion: the visible world of biology may represent only a small fraction of life’s full reality. In this fascinating episode of Vigilantes Radio Live, Dr. Kosoy discusses his groundbreaking book The Ten Dimensions of Kabbalistic Biology, which integrates modern biological science with ancient Kabbalistic wisdom to explore the hidden dimensions of life, disease, consciousness, and interconnected systems. This conversation challenges conventional thinking about science, knowledge, uncertainty, and what it truly means to understand the living world.

How do you create music that is playful and catchy while still telling an honest story?
Las Vegas singer, songwriter and producer Kiara Garcia joins Vigilantes Radio Live to discuss her new album, Ocean Pearl, and its upbeat pop single, “Obsessed.” The playful record explores what happens when someone becomes a little too invested in another person—romantically or platonically—while maintaining a fun, flirty and danceable energy.
Kiara explains how she structured Ocean Pearl like a musical storybook, with songs designed to reflect different emotions and seasons of life. She also discusses the creative challenges and opportunities of writing in both English and Spanish, blending pop, R&B, hip-hop and reggaeton, and creating music that reflects every side of her identity.
The conversation explores her journey from singing at 14 to producing her own records after realizing that other producers could not always capture the sounds she imagined. Kiara also shares how her mother’s massive CD and cassette collection shaped her musical curiosity, why she values creative control and what it means to make music that leaves listeners feeling happier than they did before pressing play.
This episode is a conversation about joy, identity, artistic independence, healthy boundaries and the courage to create without allowing expectations to limit your sound.
