Episode 35 - One Shot with Pleasure Boy by ELIZA

One Track, One Artist, One Shot with ELIZA and Pleasure Boy from her new album The Darkening Green (March 2026). We lean into the beat, the bass, @elizalovechild 's delicate and soaring vocals all over an inverted Three on E and a moment where the floor falls away.

Episode 34 - Year of the Double Fire Horse

It's the Year of the Double/Alpha Fire Horse, and we have a new episode to celebrate. With a jolt of adrenaline from the top, a look back 60 years ago to the last Fire Horse, to some education about Barn Quilts and a double shot from one of our favorite forthright artists, wrapping up with a trip around the whole periodic table (with the "oldest album in history ") we horse kick this new year, in a Stone Soup kinda way.

Episode 33 - Best of 2025

The Stone Soup crew reconvenes to discuss the music that moved us in 2025. Thread lines of loss and longing alongside positivity and connection emerge and random sequencing reveals some unexpectedly themed 3-song sets. We venture to Ireland by way of Houston thanks to an Irish Elvis (RIP Pa - @thehipscampion1916), research the bird identification of Mexican Eagles, realize late in life the richness of the Tulsa art and music scene and accidentally upgrade Philly and Toronto to statehood along the way.

Episode 32 - Soulful Connection

A dialogue emerges about how music with deep feeling is a pathway for Soulful Connections to create Episode 32. From roots of the Motown sound, to contemporary interpretations, we pay a bit of homage to the culture of soul music, its roots and early pioneers, with an acknowledgment of music for and of everyone.

Episode 31 - The 31st Hour

What happens during catastrophe? The way that we become more human, the way we become more willing to help each other.  The idea around the 31st hour is that it's several hours after midnight, where the day before was the catastrophe, the day of the event, the day of the, whatever it was, the dark night of the soul.  That 31st hour is when Dawn breaks.
