Rocky made it to the group rounds of American Idol, spoke and performed on the Nobel Peace Prize Forum and the 2016 Rio Olympics, but he had to overcome a lot to achieve what he has so far. Born in America, he was abandoned by his father at the age of 2 in Nigeria and enslaved as a child. The only escape Rocky had was singing in the fi

Hunter Farris is the host of "Song Appeal" a podcast that aims to teach the common music listener about music theory. With most people having a negative view of music theory, Hunter does a great job of making it fun to learn because he uses songs that are current and that he likes, instead of stale standards and music you would only listen to if you were in a music theory class.Hunter takes on songs ranging from Fall Out Boy ”Sugar We're Going Down," Charlie Daniels Band "The Devil Went Down to Georgia," horror movie soundtracks, the theme song from Animaniacs, and in his latest episode, Queen's "Bohemian Rhapsody." Join our conversation and find out how Hunter decides which songs to break down and what goes into making Song Appeal. He also shares how he inspired Dr. Paul J. Zak to run a study about the effect of music and story. In addition, I actually learned that Escape, (The Piña Colada Song) by Rupert Holmes, actually has a story to it.

This week on Uncontained, I enjoy some beers with Xave at Drake's Dealership, a former auto dealership showroom converted to a brewery, in Oakland, CA. A cool spot if you're looking for a good micro-brew to drink! They are best known for their Denogginizer IPA, but if that isn't your thing they have many other options to choose from.Xave is a San Francisco native and in his own words "A sometimes Open-mic comedian." He created "The Bourbon Break" back in April and has had some interesting guests, ranging from comedians to musicians, podcast hosts like myself, and his mother. That is brave if you ask me, you know how moms always talk about your most embracing moments. What else would you expect from a show where no topic is off limits. A few things you can expect from this otherwise unpredictable show are great conversations, Music that is had picked from Xave's personal playlist that fits his theme of the night, and my favorite segment of the show "Topics of Fuckery"You can check out "The Bourbon Break" every
