Audio Up, a leading podcast production company, has just released a new series featuring a devout member of the Democratic Party who boasts 1.3 million X (Twitter) followers, Majid Padellan. He is apparently known as Brooklyn Dad Defiant. (Yo, you talkin' to me?) On this new show, Padellan will talk to the political types and try to make sense of anything Donald Trump says, while repudiating MAGA political propaganda.
The podcast's producers note: "It is the place to come for those not only seeking answers, but the roadmap, engaging and educating listeners along the way."
The show will air weekly and began April 15th with the first guest Frank Figliuzzi who is the former Deputy Assistant Director of Counterintelligence for the FBI.
The Defiant Podcast is out on all platforms now.

In 2016, survivalist and world traveler Justin Alexander went missing in the Parvati Valley while on a spiritual trek into the Himalayan Mountains.
While the circumstances of his disappearance point to murder, a chilling message he left behind throws everything into question: “I should return mid-September or so. If I’m not back by then, don’t look for me.”
Four years later, host and true-crime newcomer Liam Luxon is introduced to Justin's story and embarks on an investigation into the mysterious case.
Status-Untraced is a 10-episode journey that explores the secrets the Valley holds, the stones left unturned, and what really happened to Justin Alexander.
The first two episodes of the show premiered on April 17, 2024. The following eight episodes will be released weekly.

iHeartMedia and Charlamagne Tha God’s The Black Effect Podcast Network announced “Family Therapy: The Podcast” hosted by Psychotherapist Elliott Connie. This new original series will document a family’s journey to healing through live group and individual therapy sessions. Over the course of sixteen weeks, Connie and the participants will examine their lives, relationships, hardships, successes, shortcomings, and pathways to personal growth as they seek healing and progress.
“We are excited to announce ‘Family Therapy: The Podcast’ and share this incredible journey with listeners,” said Dollie S. Bishop, President of Creative Development and Production, The Black Effect Podcast Network. “Elliott Connie is a brilliant counselor, and our hope is that this series will entertain, educate, and empower people to prioritize mental well-being and strengthen familial bonds.”
In episode one, listeners will be introduced to Dr. Elliott Connie and the family – Jay, David, and Freddie, as they rediscover themselves and begin the journey to healing.
Elliott Connie, MA, LPC is a purpose-driven hope dealer with a mission to end the stigma surrounding mental health care. With his superpower of asking the right questions, Elliott has helped thousands of individuals, couples, and families move towards their desired futures.

“Family Therapy” premiered on April 17, and new episodes are available on Wednesdays. This podcast sounds a lot like Where Should We Begin? with Esther Perel. If so, it's using an excellent template because Perel's podcast is one of the best.

If you're into Beverly Hills 90210, then this new Jennie Garth podcast is for you. Garth already hosts 9021OMG alongside her BFF and former co-star Tori Spelling. Coincidentally, Spelling has a new podcast called Misspelling.
Like Spelling, this second Garth podcast is about her personally, not the TV show.
It's called I Choose Me with Jennie Garth. The first episode premieres on April 30, 2024.
Listen to the official trailer now here.
The title of Garth’s new podcast, “I Choose Me,” is a nod to one of the most memorable moments in “Beverly Hills, 90210,” when Kelly Taylor found herself in a love triangle with Brandon and Dylan and was forced to choose one man. Kelly said, “I choose me,” and those three words became a powerful statement of self-respect and one that stayed true to Jennie in real life.
Here's the marketing pitch for this new podcast: "Jennie Garth became synonymous with Kelly Taylor on Beverly Hills 90210 when she uttered these three words: I Choose Me."
"What started as a line in a script became Jennie’s formula for fulfillment, and she wants to share it with you. The I Choose Me Movement is the ultimate form of self-care and self-love. Be the star of your own life and watch the world around you improve."
Garth wants listeners to join her as she continues her quest for contentment and gratitude.
To be fair, I've listened to Garth's 9021OMG podcast. She's good. Her voice is crisp and clear, and she exudes a certain genuine enthusiasm.
For those interested in Garth's "I Choose Me" mantra, the show can offer support, guidance, and self-improvement modalities.
Garth asserts: "Choose health, choose healing, choose happiness….come along and live by the words I Choose Me!”
So, you can choose Jennie Garth on April 30.
