    This week's episode is SO COOL! Our guest is songwriter, artist, and co-owner of Nashville's Average Joe Records... Colt Ford! You may know who Colt is because of his years of touring, or possible even his Jason Aldean country-mega-hit, "Dirt Road Anthem"... but, did you know that he was a pro-golfer??? There's too much to unpack in the summary, so be sure to tune in for his incredible story and "Uncut Gem"!!!

    This weeks episode features songwriter / producer, Ben Glover. Ben's songs can be heard across genres, however he is best known for his domination of the christian radio airwaves for the past 15 years (Mercy Me, Crowder, Francesca Battistelli)! Don't miss our talks on the Christian music business, what Katy Perry was like at 16 yrs old, and Kevin's biggest pet peeve. Lastly, Ben's "uncut gem" is maybe the most compelling songs we've had on the show... though, Kevin may have some 'unsolicited' tweaks for him. LOL!
