24 Sep 2019 | 002: The One After The Emmys | 00:38:04 | |
"How YOU Dooooin'"- In my best Joey Tribiani voice. In honor of the Emmys this week, my husband Mark joins be and we talk about our F.R.I.E.N.D.S. in this special episode. I could ramble for hours on this subject because I like many MANY others out there in the world watched and or still watch this show religiously. From 1994-2004 Monica, Phoebe, Rachel, Ross, Joey and Chandler were our friends. We hung out every Thursday night at 7 and it was always just the best. **It's funny how when I get excited about something I start to talk a little quicker and you can totally see that in this episode. Ironically you would think I could say a lot more about it since I said it faster? BUT I left out so much stuff and so many characters that I adored in this show. To be honest I could have an entire podcast dedicated to this show! I have a lot to say about it...so I am sure I will talk about it again in the future...cause that is how I do.** Thank you for your amazing patience as a navigate this podcast world! YOU are truly awesome.
I hope you enjoy! Please subscribe and tell all your friends!

In this episode (018) I chat about the Black Lives Matter movement with my friend Lloyd Vines! BLM is something that is so so very SO important! I understand that as a white woman in America I do not have the voice or understanding to speak fully about these issues. I want to use this podcast as a platform for voices to be heard on these issues from friends who can speak on them. <3 I met Lloyd via our mutual pal Chris Conley recently. The two of them have been collaborating on music projects. Lloyd is an artist, skateboarder and all around super rad human and I am blessed to call him a friend! He is currently working on an album that I am so dang pumped to hear and I will have him back on the show soon to chat about it! In THIS episode we discuss his life and what it is like to be a person of color in the alternative music scene who loves punk rock, emo and skateboarding. Lloyd also shares personal stories of his life, situations he has faced with police over the years and his hope for the future of humanity. We hope that with this conversation we can help spread awareness about the BLM movement. Here are some great links you should check out! This link here has so much goodness! Links galore that support BLM! Black Lives Matter.

20 Oct 2023 | Ep. 042 Amy Fleisher-Madden | 00:52:20 | |
I am psyched and honored to have the amazingly talented, ever so sweet (( see what I did there) and by far one of the coolest people I have ever talked with, Amy Fleisher-Madden on the show this week! Amy founded the independent record label, Fiddler Records, in Miami, Florida when she was 16 years old. In her mind, it was a logical progression from her local fanzine. Before she could even vote she discovered and broke bands like Dashboard Confessional, New Found Glory, and several other indie darlings you may or may not have heard of. She oversaw the creative direction and released over 25 records—which is what fueled her desire to properly learn Art Direction at the world-famous Art Center College of Design in Pasadena, CA. Upon completing her degree, Madden promptly moved to New York City to work as a Copywriter for an advertising agency. Having real-world experience with her own business helped her climb the ranks quickly, and she fast became a Creative Director working for what you could call ginormous brands. And after nearly a decade of that hustle and bustle, Madden decided to try her hand as a freelance creative whilst writing a book. This worked out well, and her first novel A Million Miles was released in 2014 to rave reviews and has become a fan favorite in the music scene. In 2022 Amy inked a deal with Chronicle Books to release NEGATIVES, a first-of-its-kind photographic archive of the emo music scene from 1996 to 2006, which will be released October, 24th! I loved this conversation so much and I hope you do as well! You can follow Amy at: and https://www.instagram.com/AMYXMADDEN/ There you can find links to her book signing events and ways to order 'Negatives' and 'A Million Miles' as well.

In this episode I talk to two amazing pals Keldine Hull and Orlando Deral about the very important movement known as Black Lives Matter! I want to use this podcast as a platform for voices to be heard and information to be put out into the world about equality! I know as a white gal I don't have the words or understanding to best address this topic the way is should. I have these amazing friends we can hear from and I am so happy to have those talks with them. In the last episode (018) I talked with my friend Lloyd Vines about this as well. Be sure and check that great conversation out! I met Keldine aka Kelly Bean when I worked in high end retail. She and I would spend many days, just the two of us at the store on Sunset blvd talking and listening to Muse and brainstorming our writing projects! Kelly is the author of a children’s book called 'The Lonely Old Record Store.' So dang awesome! I would love to have her back on the show to talk about that soon! I met Orlando at my gym, Equinox! Orlando is an instructor there and I LOVE taking his classes. Before covid-19 I would do “double class Tuesdays” where I took back to back classes of his. Even though they were so tough I always left feeling great and encouraged. Orlando is a dang ball of sunshine! In this episode I am sharing back to back conversations I had with both Kelly and Orlando about BLM. We discuss topics such as:

This week I have my new friend Warren Franklin on the show! The story with how I found Warren and his music is that my friend James, a long time friend, has been putting Warren's music on mixcds for me over the last few years! And when I braved the world of Facebook again I joined a group called Midwest Emoposting...and there was Warren again on my radar! THEN Warren had my friend Chris Conley (Saves The Day) on his Instagram livestream concert and I just knew we were destined to be real life friends. I had a lot of fun with this chat. The talk ranges from music (duh), a certain "earth angel," his new record that’s coming out (which is soooooo good), my favorites of his songs, his writing process, his life during quarantine, what his feelings are about the term EMO and lots more! We add 6 songs to the podcast soundtrack!

15 Sep 2019 | 001: Teenage Politics & The Origin Story Of Christie Gee | 00:45:20 | |
It's funny....how one moment in your life can make such a huge impact right? This episode is about that very thing. Growing up in one of the smallest towns in the country (before the boom of internet & social media) to now one of the biggest cities in the world has been quite a journey. It has been a mixture of self discovery, working my way through the ideology of the pentecostal church and thinking outside of it's box, discovering my love of music and moving to Los Angeles where I would go on to work in high end retail (which was always full of fun surprises) to interviewing some of my most favorite musicians and other artists. In the midst of all of it, I fell in and out of love,I questioned alot and found answers in unexpected places, I faced some of the hardest battles and I am here today to tell y'all all about it. I can trace a big moment back to the day I discovered a band from Bremerton, Washington called MXPX via their video for Teenage Politics in the mid 90's. After that life was a pretty great adventure!
Follow me on Instagram and over at my blog!
Music mentioned in this episode: Teenage Politics- MXPX, Four Simple Words- Frank Turner, Sweet Avenue- Jets To Brazil, The Night We Met- Lord Huron, Pretty Pathetic- Smoking Popes, Recovery- Frank Turner, You Are The Daybreak- Kevin Devine & Someday You Will Be Loved- Death Cab For Cutie Can follow ’The Christie Gee Podcast’ Soundtrack via both Apple Music and Spotify.
