OnTheStacks with Bill Corcoran Jr‪.‬ OnTheStacks

In this episode, Bill sits down with Alan K. Stout to discuss the dynamic world of music and media, the remarkable journey of the Agnes Flood documentary, and the community efforts of Visit Luzerne County, where Alan currently serves as its Executive Director. With a career that has spanned across the decades, Alan shares his unique perspective on the seismic shifts within the music industry and how they’ve influenced the artists and the audiences alike. We also navigate the intricate dance between online platforms such as Spotify and YouTube, and their impact on new talent. Alan offers a look back at how record labels used to patiently develop artists, contrasting it with today’s quick pursuit of immediate hits. We touch on the transformation of the iconic train station to the Visitors Bureau, reflecting on the personal connections many hold with this historic building. There’s a profound sense of unity as we chat about local events that shape the cultural landscape, revealing the hidden gems and misunderstood corners of our city. From sports spectacles to cultural fiestas, the narrative weaves together the overlooked beauty and the need to appreciate the local, while also confronting urban myths head-on. Beyond the industry talk, we celebrate the personal journey of fatherhood and its intertwining with music, underscoring the timeless act of passing down our passions to the next generation.

In this episode, Bill sits down with Lindsey Timek for in-depth discussion on the often-overlooked struggles that accompany life after extreme weight loss. While many celebrate the physical transformation, the hidden battles of the body and mind are rarely brought to light. Lindsey opens up about the ongoing challenges post-weight loss surgery, from the mental hurdles of body dysmorphia to the physical realities of excess skin and reconstructive procedures. Join us as Lindsey shares her raw and personal journey of mental health struggles, the impact of routine exercise on emotional wellness, and the powerful role of gratitude in navigating life’s transformations. She shares her experiences with entrepreneurship, the courage to leave toxic environments, and the importance of building a strong support system. We also do a deep dive into the complexities of self-acceptance, identity reshaping, and the continuous fight for emotional balance. Lindsey’s story is one of vulnerability, resilience, and the ultimate quest for happiness in the aftermath of a life-altering physical and mental change.

Imagine waking up every day without access to clean, running water. This is the reality for 19 million people living in Kenya. The DIRT Project, founded by Josh Salvaterra, which stands for “Deeply Invested in Reaching the Third world,” is a non-profit organization dedicated to raising funds for those living in Third-World countries to provide them with water access and irrigation systems, enabling them the ability to grow their own food and work on their land in order to become a more self-sustaining community.
In this episode, Bill and Josh sit down and journey through stories of faith, serendipity, and the transformative power of giving back. We uncover the soulful work of The DIRT Project in Kenyan communities, where clean water isn’t just a resource — it’s a lifeline. The stories and experiences shared in this episode reflect the depth of change that one person’s act of faith can ignite, spreading ripples of abundance and hope across oceans. From Bill and Josh’s spontaneous encounter leading to a collaboration this upcoming summer in Africa, to the meaningful impact of providing clean, running water to families in Kenya, each story is a testament to the enduring impact of kindness and charity.
The heart of this episode is the Water & Sand Parable, a profound lesson for life’s balance between holding on and letting go. Like sand slipping through our fingers when gripping too tightly, we discuss how the act of opening our hands in trust and generosity allows us to receive and hold even more—just as water cupped in open palms. Through our shared experiences and the power of giving, we invite listeners to find their own path of philanthropy and fulfillment.

Join us in a special milestone celebration for our 200th episode, where roles are reversed, as Bill Corcoran Jr. take’s the guest seat on his own show for the first time since its inception in 2020. Hosted by our show’s Executive Producer, Jimmy T. Martin, this episode isn’t just about the unpredictability of health; it’s a chapter of profound change. Bill gets personal about the decision to leave the family business — an 84-year legacy that was never a light burden to carry. We talk about the pressures that come with upholding a legacy family name, the courage to forge one’s own path, and the reevaluation of life’s priorities that often comes with close brushes with mortality. Bill shares his journey of transition, finding balance between ambition and well-being, and the surprising paths life can take when you’re prepared to listen to your own heart. We round off the episode with conversations about psychedelics, the intricacies of maintaining a public persona, and the authenticity that resonates with our listeners. Bill and Jimmy invite you to join in as we share in laughter, tears, life lessons, and a glimpse into the soul of creativity and entrepreneurship that defines not just our 200th episode, but OnTheStacks. A special thank you to my wife, Jess, and my mom Sue for always being there and supporting me. Also, a big thank you to the OTS team: Jimmy T. Martin, Eric Curtis, Jerry Rizzo, Dr. Will Ramey, & Brian DiMattia. To all of our fans, sponsors, partners, and anyone else that has helped us along the way, thank you.
