Podcast Post: ANCHRS Away: "Anti-Hero" by Taylor Swift

"It's me, hi, I'm the problem it's me." On today's episode of ANCHRS Away, hosts Amnesty Coldwell and Rachel Zyzda are joined by their friend Jenn Amols Brett, using Taylor Swift's "Anti-hero" as the muse for their discussion. The trio recalls feeling like pop music was too "uncool" to listen to during their teen years, but they are now secure enough to claim themselves as full-blown Swifties. Say it with us- it's cool to listen to the music you like, regardless of the labels and genres. They also share their struggles with feeling like the anti-hero and how they strive to be more confident and secure with themselves in all aspects of life, not just their music taste. As always, we wrap up with our weekly Wreck-ommendation.

Podcast Post: "My Heart Will Go On" by Celine Dion

The songs that soundtrack our favorite movies can easily make or break a movie scene, and dictate the emotions we feel from those said scenes. In this week's episode of ANCHRS Away, hosts Amnesty Coldwell and Rachel Zyzda follow up on the premise of the "Running Up That Hill" episode, only this time focusing on movie scores rather than TV show soundtracks. As Titanic is Rachel's all-time favorite movie and just celebrated its 25th anniversary, this episode is aptly named after the iconic song from the film's soundtrack.

Podcast Post: ANCHRS Away- "Video Killed the Radio Star" by The Buggles

For our second episode of ANCHRS Away, we talk about the ever-evolving music business and the technology associated with it. We all know that video may have killed the radio star, but will streaming gigs ever kill the popularity of in-person shows? Hosts Amnesty Coldwell and Rachel Zyzda reminisce on surviving covid-times by revisiting old concert videos, yet needing that sense of community that a live event brings out. We also discuss new ways that artists are able to connect to fans thanks to new social media and channels of communication. As always, we wrap up with our weekly Wreck-ommendation.
