    SANGINA: The Freedom to Become

    Some journeys take us far from home. Others teach us that home never really leaves us. Born in Kazakhstan to a Kazakh father and an Uzbek mother, award-winning singer-songwriter SANGINA joins The Jeremiah Show for a deeply personal conversation about identity, freedom, and the experiences that shape who we become. From the ancient Silk Road and the traditions of Central Asia to recording music in Los Angeles, her story bridges two cultures while remaining deeply rooted in both. During the conversation, SANGINA reflects on growing up in a family of entrepreneurs, discovering music through childhood choir, competing on international television shows including The Voice, and the life-changing competition in Turkey that gave her the confidence to pursue music professionally. She shares how studying at Musicians Institute opened new creative possibilities as a songwriter, producer, and independent artist while helping her build a career entirely on her own terms. She also discusses blending Eastern musical traditions with contemporary Western production, preserving the excitement of songwriting, navigating the challenges of independence, and mentoring aspiring singers to become confident, self-sufficient artists rather than relying on a vocal coach forever. Along the way, SANGINA reflects on representing Kazakhstan wherever she goes—not simply as the country where she was born, but as the place that taught her generosity, resilience, and, above all, freedom. She also shares the remarkable milestones of becoming one of Kazakhstan's first Grammy Voting Members, receiving multiple nominations at the Hollywood Independent Music Awards, and explains why she believes success begins with remaining curious enough to keep learning.

    Chef Suzanne Goin Remembers Opening Night of Lucques

    The greatest restaurants don't just serve meals. They become part of our lives.   James Beard Award-winning chef and restaurateur Suzanne Goin joins The Jeremiah Show for a timeless conversation about creativity, hospitality, leadership, and what it really takes to build a restaurant that endures.   In this classic 2019 interview, Suzanne reflects on the terrifying opening night of Lucques, the self-doubt that accompanies every new menu, and the philosophy that has guided one of America's most respected culinary careers. She shares stories from her childhood, from her time working alongside culinary pioneers including Alice Waters, Nancy Silverton, and Mark Peel, and explains why serving guests is both an honor and a lifelong responsibility.   Jeremiah and Suzanne also explore the realities of running multiple restaurants, mentoring the next generation of chefs, balancing creativity with business, and why the greatest compliment isn't an award—it's becoming the restaurant where people celebrate life's most meaningful moments.   The conversation also highlights Suzanne's remarkable philanthropic work with L.A. Loves Alex's Lemonade, which has raised millions of dollars for pediatric cancer research through the generosity of the culinary community.   More than a conversation about food, this episode is about purpose, perseverance, and creating places where people feel cared for.   "If you love a restaurant, keep eating there.

    Will Breman NBC's The Voice SN17 - Team Legend

    Sometimes the greatest victory isn't hearing someone say "yes." It's refusing to let every "no" define you. Originally aired on October 24, 2019, this Classic Episode features Will Breman, the Santa Barbara singer-songwriter whose unforgettable audition on NBC's The Voice SN17 earned him a spot on Team Legend and launched a remarkable new chapter in his career. Will was the first artist from The Voice to join The Jeremiah Show—the beginning of a journey that would eventually bring 54 Voice Artist interviews on the show. During our conversation, Will shares the emotional story behind his Blind Audition, the relief he felt when John Legend and Gwen Stefani turned their chairs, and the years of perseverance that led to his breakthrough after leaving his day job to pursue music full-time. He also speaks candidly about living with Asperger syndrome, how songwriting became his voice, and why authenticity has always mattered more than fitting in. Listeners will also hear the stories behind Will's original songs from his Santa Barbara Soul Music EP, including the deeply personal inspiration for "Olive Trees," as well as his reflections on creativity, community, and finding hope through music.   Will Breman’s Website   Santa Barbara Records   Spotify   Instagram   Twitter   Facebook   The Voice NBC Show   CHAPTERS 00:00 Introduction to Will Breman and his background 02:07 Will’s experience on The Voice and memorable moments 03:56 Overcoming performance anxiety and the moment of success 05:55 The story behind the song 'Olive Trees' 08:07 Will’s musical influences and style 10:00 Living in Santa Barbara and its impact on his music 11:53 Dealing with Asperger’s syndrome through music 13:54 The songwriting process and emotional expression 16:04 Reflections on personal growth and future goals   POP CULTURE, MUSIC ICONS, & FOOD GODS - Listen More & Evolve   Catch Up With Past Shows and Your Favorite Guests - TJS MEDIA LIBRARY   Partner with The Jeremiah Show  BRAND PARTNER DECK   The Jeremiah Show is brought to you by Evolve Entertainment Network  www.thejeremiahshow.com https://radio-evolve.rocks   Host | Executive Producer - Jeremiah D.

    Maz Jobrani, Connected

    The shortest distance between two cultures... is a laugh. Originally aired on October 5, 2019, this Classic Episode features internationally acclaimed comedian, actor, bestselling author, and humanitarian Maz Jobrani in one of the most thoughtful conversations ever featured on The Jeremiah Show.  This episode was the first of many appearances by Maz.    Best known for the groundbreaking Axis of Evil Comedy Tour, his hit Netflix special Immigrant, CBS's Superior Donuts, and countless sold-out performances around the world, Maz shares how comedy became his way of building bridges between cultures rather than walls between people. During the interview, Maz reflects on growing up as an Iranian immigrant in America, why laughter can challenge stereotypes, and how finding common ground through humor has shaped both his career and his life.   He also offers a moving tribute to his late sister, award-winning filmmaker Mariam Jobrani, whose documentary Everything Must Change chronicles her courageous battle with breast cancer and reminds us to embrace every moment of life. Equal parts hilarious, heartfelt, and inspiring, this Classic Episode reminds us that some of the most meaningful conversations begin with a laugh. *Jeremiah sincerely apologizes for mispronouncing Maz's name in the first segment!   Maz Jobrani Official Website   Maz Jobrani Twitter   Maz Jobrani Instagram   Superior Donuts on CBS    Immigrant Netflix Special   Everything Must Change Film    CHAPTERS   00:00 Introduction to Maz Jobrani and his background 03:21 Maz's experience at Berkeley commencement 07:55 Discussing 'Superior Donuts' and Netflix special 'Immigrant' 12:04 Maz's thoughts on comedy and stereotypes 16:24 Maz's future projects and aspirations 21:12 Mariam Giobrani's story and 'Everything Must Change' 28:07 Reflections on grief and advocacy 29:00 Humor in the face of tragedy 30:57 Closing remarks and upcoming events   POP CULTURE, MUSIC ICONS, & FOOD GODS - Listen More & Evolve   Catch Up With Past Shows and Your Favorite Guests - TJS MEDIA LIBRARY   Partner with The Jeremiah Show  BRAND PARTNER DECK   The Jeremiah Show is brought to you by Evolve Entertainment Network  www.thejeremiahshow.com https://radio-evolve.rocks   Host | Executive Producer - Jeremiah D.
