YIP Podcast

This episode of YIP features the fab Sherri Wheatley! Tune in to hear her talk about her tribal roots, her feelings on fusion and why time away from bellydance can be a good thing! Mary spins some totally sweet tunes (okay, really, they were just edited in, but Mary thinks being a DJ would be cool) and Tammy gets us ready for some awesome upcoming events!! And...there's a lot of nonsense and giggling. You know. The usual.

After a long break from posting - sorry about that! - YIP is back with a episode featuring an interview with Jeremiah Soto of Solace! The super chill Soto talked to YIP about his music, past and present, creating his own record label and artist rights. Mary shares some of what she's listening to right now, Tammy does the Around Town thing, and both of them act rather silly. It's nice to be back! :-)

If you like people who tell it like it is then you'll love this episode's guest: Jessica Bellydance!! She's known in the Central Florida area for hosting charity events and being awesome, and soon you'll find her in Portland, OR...because she's moving! (Muy triste!!) During our chat with Jessica she shared her outlook on dance and life, many words of wisdom, and her dance plans for the future! Mary struggles to stay awake on very little sleep (which is the ONLY reason my words were slurring by the end!) and Tammy regales us with a list of awesome up-coming events!

In this - the only in-studio a.m. YIP recording in existance - DeAnna becomes an honorary YIP host, dishes on what working with Megha is like, and - along with Tammy - waxes enthusiastic about excel spreadsheets!

Everyone loves a mixed tape!

On this episode we have a brief check-in with costumer Elizabeth, and then spend some quality time with awesome YIP listener, Jennie! There's also some fantastic, listener-recommended music, and Tammy keeps sexy around!! (I know, that doesn't make sense yet, but listen to the episode, Grasshopper, and all will become clear!)
