Out of My Comfort Zone engages kids with an insanely catchy original score, humor and a cast of diverse, relatable, teenage characters.  Out of My Comfort Zone is for 'tweens, teens and families to watch together, to open up dialogues about gender and sexuality, and provide a safe way for kids to talk to their parents about how they are treated at school.   "A singing, dancing powerhouse with dialogue that rings true and real." - The Huffington Post343Collective.com

    Author Bill Kopp talks about his new book "What's the Big Idea?: 30 Great Concept Albums"

    On this episode Third of Never's Jon Dawson talks to acclaimed music journalist Bill Kopp about his new book, What's the Big Idea?From 30ConceptAlbums.com:As long as there has been music, the form has been used as a vehicle for storytelling. Artists who have something to say often find that putting it into music is the ideal means of communicating thoughts and feelings to others. And the concept-album form is a logical extension of that storytelling impulse, often writ large. It allows the writer to tackle bigger themes, more involved story lines, more finely textured characters and ideas. In the pages of WHAT'S THE BIG IDEA, author Bill Kopp explores 30 remarkable concept albums, drawing on new, firsthand interviews with the artists behind their creation.To order the book from Hozac Records and Books, click here.To order the book from Amazon, click here.Music heard in tihs episode:Third of Never - Rolling Down a Hill Pete Townshend - Outlive The DinosaurSykofant - Between Air and WaterThe Church - AscendenceJohn Guy Barwick - Coastal Chase
