The healing power of fitness goes far beyond physical benefits—for today’s guest, it’s a form of self-expression and a celebration of what the body can do. In this episode, host Nora McInerny sits down with fitness personality Ivylis Rivera, who shares her deeply personal journey of navigating life with Chronic Migraine while holding onto her passion for movement. Ivylis opens up about the struggle of staying active while facing the fear of triggering a headache or migraine attack and the resilience it takes to keep pushing forward—a resilience that carried her through the challenging journey of finding a Chronic Migraine treatment plan that worked for her. Join Nora and Ivylis as they explore the concept of “soft living,” a philosophy Ivylis embraces—staying active, listening to your body, and building trust in oneself.

This week Nik and Duncan decided to do a look in on Head by the Monkees. Lots of people my age don't recall that this movie even existed. But ask yourself what would happen if Jack Nicholson, Carole King, and The Monkees were all in a room together? Then you can add in Stephen Stills for fun! www.facebook.com/dmapodcast https://duncan-evans.bandcamp.com/ https://www.discogs.com/seller/battra13/profile…

We discussed this and it might be true, but we might be stretching our mandate here with this episode, but largely this album, though it had a giant splash, has kind of been left in the ruins of the years.

Well, after the Revenge Era Kiss lineup broke up, Eric Singer decided to get with his old buddy, Bruce Kulick, and his new buddy John Corabi, and somehow all three of them's newest buddy, Karl Cochrane.

In 1986, Terry Glaze was given a two week notice from Pantera. Instead of diffusing the tensions in the band, he just walked away. In time, Phil Anselmo fills his shoes and finishes the album they had been recording. It was called Power Metal. This week Nik and Duncan talk it out.

49:41

Jim Morrison died on July 3rd, 1971. What many fans of the band didn't know is that at the time, the rest of the band were Stateside working on what was going to be the follow up to L.A. Woman in the hopes that Jim would return from Paris to complete it. He never did and the rest of the band carried on without him, at first all together, and later separate. Here Nik and Duncan take in the last time the Doors entered into a studio in order to record an album. (An American Prayer features Jim's vocals...so it doesn't count.) Should we spin it or bin it?

It was 2005 and everybody was doing it, so Ozzy did it too, but he did it with serious backup. Ozzy enlists the allstar band of Mike Bordin of Faith No More on the drums. Chris Wyse of The Cult and later Ace Frehley on bass. What does he do about a six string gunslinger? He gets Jerry MF Cantrell of Alice In Chains. Now that he has this all star band to kill all all star bands does he set about writing an album the define his career and crush all comers? No. He does a covers record.…

In 1988, Black Sabbath is in a slump. It's time for the once again revised line up of Iommi, Martin, and some kids from the neighborhood deliver the record that Black Sabbath fans will cry for. Sabbath is on a new label and ready to show the world. Tony Martin may have gotten the wrong idea about the lyrics, but riffs? Am I right?…

He's looking you in the eye and telling you it's time to reinvent yourselves with a concept record. Strap in for Kiss's most amazing mistake. Thanks!!!!!!…
