    Favorite Albums of The Year (So Far)

    In this episode of Pop & Prose, I'm joined by fellow writer and music lover Bill Cooper and we discuss our favorite albums released so far this year. We each chose five albums to talk about and they're very wide-ranging! Among the ten albums are ones by legendary acts who have been around for several decades, indie acts that are fairly new, hard-rocking music, laid-back sounding music, and much more. To learn what our favorite albums (so far) of 2025 are, please join us! #music #newmusic #2025music #albums #albumsreleasedin2025 #rock #pop #alternative #indie #indieartists #popculture #culture #entertainment #billcooper #buddygott

  2. Songs That Inspire Us

    Songs That Inspire Us

    Music can be a wonderful source of entertainment for most people. However, it can also be much more than that. It can often lift us up when we need, or simply just want, a little something ‘extra’ in our days. In this episode of the Pop and Prose podcast, I was joined by my friend, writer Roland Denzel, and we talked about music that inspires each of us. Among the music we discussed are songs by artists such as The Beatles, Pink Floyd, Electric Light Orchestra, Rocky Balboa (well, sort of), Lyle Lovett, Billy Ocean, and several others. I had a lot of fun chatting with Roland about these great songs. If you’re a music lover, you may enjoy our conversation too - so please join us! To learn more about Roland Denzel, including information about his books, please visit his great website here. You can also find him on Instagram and Facebook. To connect elsewhere with me, Buddy Gott, I spend most of my online time posting about music and other things on Bluesky. I can also be found on Instagram, Threads, YouTube, and my website. Links to all of them (plus a few other places) can be found here via my Linktree. P.S. - If you’d like to check out some of the music that Roland and I talked about during this episode, each of us made public playlists that are available on Spotify. Buddy’s ‘Inspirational Mixtape’ can be found here and you can find Roland’s excellent playlist right here. Thank you very much for listening to or watching the show. I hope you have a fantastic day!

    Buddy and Lisa's Christmas Movies Special

    In this episode, my wonderful wife Lisa joined me to talk about four Christmas movies we recently watched together - three brand new ones and one classic from a very long time ago. The new ones from 2024 are HOT FROSTY, RED ONE, and DEAR SANTA and the classic is the legendary film WHITE CHRISMAS from 1954. We had a LOT of fun here talking about all of them!
