Russ Johnson is an MC and beatmaker in the DMV. On this special Halloween edition of the pod, Russ stops by the studio to share some original spooky jams to commemorate the holiday and talk all things beats, rhymes, and Halloween.

We kick off the show with an exclusive - an original theme for the pod Russ put together from a scratch track I sent him earlier in the year. Coming up as a battle MC from New York, Russ shares his journey and education in beat-making and how it accelerated during the pandemic. Russ's beat style draws on the muddy, stompy, and gritty, while his original rhymes pull from clever wordplay that draws out obscure and comedic pop culture and movie references. Russ and I reminisce on the holiday, what we appreciate about Halloween, and break down those classic 80's horror movies from our childhood.

Check out Russ on the mic on Halloween night at Crescendo Studios in Falls Church, VA.

On this episode of the pod, Fantasy Football Champion and Bottom Dweller Rick Bernstein takes you into one of his 3 fantasy football drafts and shares his pick process and final picks at each position starting from the first round (edited down a bit, of course).

Jummie Moses is the creator, host, and spirit behind the podcast "Shifting Dimensions," where themes of spirituality, religion, consciousness, the paranormal, and technology are explored in fascinating conversations.

From an early age, Jummie pondered life's biggest questions about purpose, life, and death, and in 2020, it was time for her to take her passion towards the spiritual and metaphysical and share it with the world.

On this episode of the pod, Jummie shares how podcasting became a form of therapy that helped in her journey towards self-realization and channeling deeper meanings behind the forces at work in her life, the nature of empathy and manifestation, and how many of us remain stuck in our programmed realities. Jummie challenges her listeners to consider seeing the world through a new paradigm and lean into their intuition, keeping an open mind and embracing the vibrations the universe sends. Following these signs can help us evolve to becoming more loving, accepting, and fulfilled.
