Soul Story Hour: Woman's Voices

Here is an episode of The Soul Story Hour aired Feb. 4, 2009. In this show I highlight woman's voices in soul. I also air the fifth part in a twelve part series entitled The Olympians, telling the story of Hestia, goddess of Home and Family. From Nina Simone to Georgia Anne Muldrow, Zulema to Simian Mobile Disco, Billy Holiday to Aaliyah...it turned out to be a great mix! I hope you enjoy!

M. Ward Chinese Translation

New animation up! This is a beautiful music video done for M. Ward's Chinese Translation off his album Post-War, released on Merge Records. Although the song came out in 2006, I thought I'd post this video because there is certainly a soul story being told. Big shouts to my brother Josh for reintroducing me to M. Ward's stylings.

The Soul Story Problem

First off, Happy New Year! 2009, a new year, new stories to live. Second, I apologize that it has taken me over a month to update this blog. I am human and I make mistakes, if I could take them back I would. Actually, I sort of can. Look out for some back posts for the month of December. I started a few posts but never finished them.

Third, I have the honor of presenting you Soul Story Hour's first original story. This story was written for The Soul Story Hour by a friend of mine and aired Wednesday, January 7, 2009. It is entitled The Soul Story Problem and is in three parts, enjoy:
Part 1

Part 3

The Old Man and The Sea

This is the first episode in a new Soul Story Hour segment, Soul Story Animation. Animation will be highlighted because like radio or internet, animation is a great way to communicate a story.

Today's Animation entitled, The Old Man and The Sea, animated by famous Russian animator, Alexandr Petrov, tells Ernest Hemingway's timeless classic using a very special paint-on-glass technique. The beauty of this film is indescribable. It is a shame that the quality of the film is so poor, but hey, these are the tools we are working with. If you want a real copy, hit up your public library. For now though, I suggest you grab some popcorn and enjoy the show!

A Soul Story Hour for the Phanatics

New Soul Story Hour! This is the second episode of the Soul Story Hour, aired October 29, 2008.

Here's the show in two parts: one & two.

Also, check out a friend of the show, DJ JonK, conduct a great interview with the legendary Count Bass D on his blog, droppinggems.com
