J’s career as a journalist has had its ups and down, but it’s one of the most rewarding aspects of her life. That… and, of course, sex.

Back on one of our bonus episodes in https://ofmusicandmen.captivate.fm/episode/bonus-personality-types-and-updates (May 2020), we explored the personality types of all the female characters. It was a really fun episode and you seemed to like it; it got a really great response. In this BONUS episode, I have some fun revealing the male characters' personality types using https://www.16personalities.com/articles/our-theory (16personalities.com) as reference. Also, visit our https://www.pinterest.com/ofmusicandmen/boards/ (Pinterest) for more on their style. So this episode, I’m going to give you the personality types of all the male characters that we’ve met thus far. Stax: Brandon Stacovski is Kenya’s friend from growing up; she’s known him the longest and their friendship has had (and will have) several different identities. He’s described as a white boy in the books and podcast with a cool “Brad Pitt/Tyler Durdan (Fight Club)” type of personality. He’s one of those people who knows every

Of Music and Men is a story, so it's best to start listening at episode one. This episode is a bonus episode during our brief hiatus.Good news! This is the last update before we jump into book three (the collection of podcast episodes that make up book three). Thank you for being patient during this time when I’m sure we all may have had other more pressing issues to concern ourselves with.So, I think I mentioned a couple updates ago that I was the July winner of the https://www.roadmapwriters.com/blogs/news/interview-with-july-2020-diversity-winner-kayona-ebony-brown (Roadmap Writers Diversity Initiative). This has been somewhat life changing and actually very necessary for me at this point in my career because winning this is not just a bragging right thing; it came with access to their pitch prep program.If you are a screenwriter, I highly recommend you go to Roadmapwriters.com and check out some of their programs and courses. They are doing some wonderful work over there, and when I’m on stage collecting

Of Music and Men is a story, so it's best to start listening at episode one. This is a recap episode for episode two during our brief hiatus.This is part two of the recap episode for the series of podcast episodes that make up Nothing But a Number. So, in case you forgot, episode two is called Nothing but a number--that is, the collection of seven episodes of the podcast that make up episode two. You know how this works. Here, I’ll give you the recap of the story--without the cold openings--so you can get a full sense of where things will be when we pick back up.In When do you start, which is episode 2.4, Kenya has to nurse a sick Lucas while trying to get him to actually take an active part in something important for his own career, and Tk, still thinking about the possibility of being an old rapping-teacher, tries to quit her job but is denied by the principle.In The Great Compromise, Kenya goes out with the older guy to a Balkin Beat Box concert and later realizes that she’s actually more of kid than she r

Of Music and Men is a story, so it's best to start listening at episode one.

So, in case you forgot, episode two is called, https://ofmusicandmen.com/ep2-number/ (Nothing but a number)--that is, the collection of seven episodes of the podcast that make up episode two. You know how this works. Here, I’ll give you the recap of the story--without the cold openings--so you can get a full sense of where things will be when we pick back up.So this first part is called, No Time for Biding, where Kenya tries to get Tk a performance at the Kennedy Center. She does, although it’s not as easy as she might think it should be, but the high from that performance is diluted when Tk meets a Boomer who also has aspirations of being a rapper.Where to draw the timeline?Kenya later meets up with J and Ty, and the get on the topic of age because J is se

Of Music and Men is a story, so it's best to start listening at episode one. This episode is a bonus episode during our brief hiatus.I decided not to post an update last week. Sometimes you gotta read the room. There’s a lot going on in this country and I felt like I needed a break from entertainment for a minute. This episode is just a brief update on what's been happening.Music by https://soundcloud.com/monawonderlick (Mona Wonderlick) - https://soundcloud.com/monawonderlick/bloom (Bloom) (download via Soundcloud)Also, check out the https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJCaWYjH-Bk (Heroes) video on Youtube. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GJCaWYjH-Bk (Just click here).

We'll be coming back soon! In this update episode, I give you some insight on progress I'm making with the project and how I plan to move forward to produce new episodes for you soon.Remember, episode two of the novella, "Nothing But A Number," is available on the website for digital download now.

In this bonus update episode, I talk about my goal for this project: Of music and men inspire a generation of women to take risks and not wait for permission or perfection before doing something they know is great.I also discuss making a new logline for the show: After dropping out of college less than a year in, an ambitious young woman tries to succeed as an entrepreneur helming her own indie record company while navigating bachelorettehood; the only problem is, she’s in the wrong place for entertainment pursuits, not to mention, the country's worst city for single women: Washington, DC.I talk about "diversity" (real LIFE) on the page versus diversity on the screen--and the word “diversity”. I explore this through making Tk a lesbian woman instead of keeping that character as it was first made in male form because I wasn't doing a good job of giving the LGBTQIA community enough representation in this story.And I have fun revealing the females characters' personality types using https://www.16personalities.c

I wanted to give a quick update about what's been going on since I haven't been producing proper episodes. Don't worry, I'm getting back to it soon.In this episode, I talk a little about working on HBO's VEEP as an intern, recently meeting one of my heroes, Tanya Saracho (creator of Vida on Starz network), writing a new TV pilot during Covid, how I'm navigating trying to promote the new novella, and I give you a peek into what's going on with the novellas, and some writer-insights and things I've been learning over the last few months.Music for this episode is provided by my Swedish friends, https://soundcloud.com/thisislegang (Le Gang).
