Swoop's World Radio Swoop's World Swoop’s World Radio is a Southern California Internet radio show that is equal parts arts, culture and party. Each week Swoop, Peter and the crew tap into the So Cal lifestyle with interviews of the unique personalities making news. Guests have included politicians and community activists, independent filmmakers and Academy-award winning actress Yancy Butler, rock and roll icon Grace Slick and emerging indie musicians, authors, artists, Olympic athletes and more. The topics are as varied as the guest list, but the goal is always the same — to keep the conversation entertaining and the debates insightful.After the interview, stick around for the ever-popular Brewskis! Swoop and Peter are joined by CLiv and TBone for a weekly on-air beer-tasting where the guys tell you what they really think about some of America's great (and not-so-great) craft beers. Peter lends his culinary acumen with a list of food paring ideas for each beer. The party conti Sample Size: 1 Dave Hilowitz A podcast about unrepeatable experiments in music & art."Then there’s “Sample Size: 1,“ which bills itself as being “about unrepeatable experiments in music and art,” hitting a lot of words that we enjoy (“unrepeatable,” “experiments,” “music,” “art”) in one fell swoop. Hosted by Dave Hilowitz, the show’s first episode follows his attempt to remotely re-record one of his band’s songs, using only collaborators he finds on quick-gig site Fiverr — an endeavor entertaining and fascinating enough for even non-musicians to dig." – The Huffington Post"What I'm loving about this new podcast (aside from how well it's made) is how drastically different episodes one and two are. I have no idea what to expect from the show's third episode or even when it'll drop, but I know I'm really excited to hear it. If you haven't already, I'd highly recommend checking out Sample Size: 1. It's definitely a new favorite of mine." – Between Two Earbuds The Aliens Are Coming, Look Busy... with Hannah-Jane Fox Hannah-Jane Fox When Hannah-Jane Fox’s appendix burst on stage, something very strange happened. Later that night, as she lay on the operating table, she felt a ‘thing’ she’d never been aware of before, and stranger still, after a whole lifetime of hating sci-fi and the ridiculous idea of time travel, she went from ZERO interest in UFOs and aliens, to an overwhelming need to explore the entire subject in one fell swoop.One late night chat later with her ‘sci-fi loving’ brother-in-law, and it’s got her thinking, maybe this whole pending disclosure stuff might happen in her lifetime… Maybe this UFO banter is real?Join complete beginner Hannah as she skips off into the unknown and the universe itself. Is UFO really the gateway to expanding our consciousness? Why hasn’t she been thinking about this?Is she being deceived by bright eyed believers, ‘peddling their pseudoscience and disappearing into to a web of conspiracies, as a friend of hers suggest? Or, is she just in time for the Desiring Brethren Tanner Hofs, David Short, Jackson O'Brien Join Tanner, Jackson, and Dave as their Christian theology is put to the test by the trivial, the controversial, and the unconventional. When they (repeatedly) find themselves swamped in their own ignorance, witness their special guests (biologists, pastors, music producers, and more) swoop in to save the day!
