Back in January, we announced a new podcast called Girl in a Hurry: The Shelly Bush Story. Today, all six episodes are now available everywhere. Here’s the trailer:
On the surface, the show is about country music artist Shelly Bush. She passed away in 2015, ten years ago to the day (Feb 14th). The podcast tells the tale of her epic sets on Broadway and her all female band, Broadband. It tells of her struggles to make it in the industry and how she never quite crested the peaks into stardom. But more importantly, it tells the story of leaving a legacy and having influence without fame. Host and storyteller Ellen Angelico was a member of Bush’s band and continues to have connections to all of her other bandmates from that era, as well as all of the other bands they’re connected to and anyone that saw Bush perform live.
The Scene wrote up a great review of the show and insightful interview with Angelico that I suggest you enjoy to get the context of the show. I especially love this final quote:
“You are more than your accomplishments,” says Angelico. “You may be accomplishing more than you realize. Just because you’re not famous doesn’t mean you don’t matter, and Shelly mattered a lot.”
Get the show in your favorite podcast app – Apple Podcasts, YouTube, Amazon Music, Spotify or even just an RSS feed!

This episode introduces the next of 12 letters from their collaborative visual arts project “Letters to Our Unborn Children: An Exploration of a Woman’s Decision to Remain Child-Free by Choice.” They discuss the “Sage” archetype behind the Letter, and share their research and insights around the themes in the letter. They also interview paintress and surfer Caroline Zimmermann.
Whether searching for powder, the perfect wave, or the perfect light to paint, Caroline Zimmermann’s passion for travel has led her to all hemispheres of the earth. Caroline’s paintings in oils over the past 50 years document her experiences in the vastly different environs of the South Pacific, Caribbean, Tuscany, Provence, the English countryside, and Indonesia, as well as the coast and mountains of her native California. In her richly painted compositions, shadows and vibrant colors create deep impressions evoking memories among those familiar with these settings. Caroline began painting in oils at the age of six, nurtured by creative parents and then immersed herself in the artistically rich setting of Laguna Beach.
Recorded on Oct 3, 2024

Whoops, almost a month between episodes. Hate it when that happens but, hey, life has its varying priorities. What I love is that I was able to put together 2 hours of local music without batting an eye. The backlog is deep – a mile deep you might say – but that means that sharing local goodness with you is easy! It may not all be brand new but, as the saying goes, if you’ve never heard it before, it’s new to you! Fingers crossed Episode 398 won’t take near as long (it won’t).
That’s Downasaur on our cover.
