  • S3 Ep306: With Guest Jamie Wyman - Psychedelic Rock Musician / Community Builder
    Apr 15 2026

    -----

    Jamie Wyman’s music is both personal and expansive, weaving raw emotion with a sense of hope. Her voice—ethereal, transcendent, and powerful—carries songs that rise from the ashes, turning pain into light. Rooted in deep truth, her music balances vulnerability and strength, offering a space where listeners can feel seen and uplifted.

    As a former social worker and lover of all things metaphysical, Jamie spends her time pursuing the life purpose she spelled out for a class assignment in college: to illuminate possibilities for human development in individuals and society.

    After pursuing a law degree and working in broken systems, Jamie realized music was her greatest tool for making positive change in the world.


    Jamie’s third studio album, “Return to the Mothership,” is a 22-track folk rock
    opera following the heroine’s journey through the ups and downs of making this world a better place.

    Join Jamie Wyman and I as we talk about her journey of overcoming work burnout in broken social systems and finding her path as a musician playing psychedelic rock and diving into the metaphysical to lift hearts and implement the positive change she wants to see in the world.

  • S3 Ep302: With Guests Low Stakes - Folk-Rock Music Group
    Feb 18 2026
    Low Stakes is what happens when two musicians get fed up with polite art and sanitized songwriting, trading it for sharp, unfiltered folk-rock that says the quiet part loud. Eric Colville and Ann Holbrook write with the lyricism of Paul Simon and John Prine, the hooks of The Byrd’s or Tom Petty, and a true punk ethos.

    Their songs live in the friction between humor and heartbreak, absurdity and depth, grief and joy. It’s the whole ridiculous mess of being human crammed into a melody. Low Stakes isn’t background music; it’s for people who are tired of swallowing their truth, who’ve laughed at funerals, raged at the news, and still somehow believe in something.

    Join the folk-rock music group Low Stakes and I as we talk about creating music, the songwriting process, finding creative inspiration, trusting your intuition and so much more! They even play a couple of songs live for us!
