Songs That Inspire Us

from Pop & Prose · host Buddy Gott

Music can be a wonderful source of entertainment for most people. However, it can also be much more than that. It can often lift us up when we need, or simply just want, a little something ‘extra’ in our days. In this episode of the Pop and Prose podcast, I was joined by my friend, writer Roland Denzel, and we talked about music that inspires each of us. Among the music we discussed are songs by artists such as The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Electric Light Orchestra, Rocky Balboa (well, sort of), Lyle Lovett, Billy Ocean, and several others.I had a lot of fun chatting with Roland about these great songs. If you’re a music lover, you may enjoy our conversation too - so please join us!To learn more about Roland Denzel, including information about his books, please visit his great website here. You can also find him on Instagram and Facebook. To connect elsewhere with me, Buddy Gott, I spend most of my online time posting about music and other things on Bluesky. I can also be found on Instagram, Threads, YouTube, and my website. Links to all of them (plus a few other places) can be found here via my Linktree. P.S. - If you’d like to check out some of the music that Roland and I talked about during this episode, each of us made public playlists that are available on Spotify. Buddy’s ‘Inspirational Mixtape’ can be found here and you can find Roland’s excellent playlist right here. Thank you very much for listening to or watching the show. I hope you have a fantastic day!Buddy Gott This is a public episode. If you would like to discuss this with other subscribers or get access to bonus episodes, visit buddygott.substack.com

The VD Clinic The VD Clinic Step into the clinic where the most unusual of pop culture cases are treated. From the cult classics to those best left buried, join David and Vanessa as they treat all patients equally - with a healthy irreverence and just a pinch of love. Explicit Running In Slow Motion with Sidney & Tamra Smith You Hear Good Things podcast network Comedian Sidney Smith and his wife Tamra — a sharp-witted educator with a soft spot for flowers — team up to navigate life, goals, and culture at their own hilarious, at times, in-depth pace. They call it “running in slow motion,” and that pretty much sums up the vibe. This isn’t a marriage podcast (their union ranks a generous 5 out of 10, after all), but it is a refreshingly honest, smart, and funny take on relationships, ambition, and everyday chaos. From real talk to pop culture and unexpected interviews, it’s a joyride of relatable moments and laugh-out-loud observations. Explicit Random Movie Generator with David Earl and David Edwards David Earl David Edwards loves talking about films. David Earl loves listening to David Edwards talk.
