In the new bonus episode of the Ellisbeetle Magazine podcast, "The Sonic Mind," we dive into the incredible story of a musician who was told to "pick a path or risk ending up a bum." He chose music, and what followed was a lifelong obsession with telling stories through sound.

Tune in for a unique exploration of creativity, sonic architecture, and the relentless drive to bring ideas to life.

Storytime: The Haunted Tales of Brierie: The Shadeleaf Fog

From the The Haunted Tales of Brierie (HTOB): The Shadeleaf Fog.
 
In the small, isolated town of Briere, strange rules are the only defense against a creeping horror known as the Shadeleaf Fog. This mysterious, sentient mist appears after dark, transforming anyone who breathes it into a bloodthirsty vampire. For twelve-year-old Dustin Calder, these precautions were just old-fashioned superstitions—until his own parents defy the town's handbook and fall victim to the fog.   Written by, Music by Samuel Kelly

Mindful Moments: Love Everywhere
 
In a world that often feels overwhelming, how do we find and share love? This episode explores the incredible power of love in our daily lives, even when things get tough. We offer a gentle reminder that love can be found in the kindness of strangers, the beauty of nature, and most importantly, within ourselves.
Join us as we discuss the importance of self-love, the strength in kindness, and the quiet joy of finding happiness in small, everyday moments. Discover how these very concepts were the driving force behind the song "Love Everywhere." We'll take you through the journey of how embracing analog activities, like the peaceful practice of birding, and disconnecting from digital noise helped shape the song's core message: that love, truly, is everywhere.
This episode is for anyone looking to add a little more light to their life. It's an invitation to open your heart, nurture your spirit, and hear the story behind the song.

Toe The Line: Young Minds in the 70's and 80's.

Welcome to "Toe the Line," where we journey back to the vibrant and formative years of the 1970s and 80s. This episode is a personal reflection on the creative explosion that defined an era and shaped the minds of a generation.
I explore the monumental impact of visionaries like George Lucas, Stephen King, Jim Henson, Fred Rogers, LeVar Burton, and Bob Ross. These weren't just entertainers; they were teachers, mentors, and the architects of our childhood dreams.
From the galaxies of Star Wars to the gentle wisdom of Mister Rogers' Neighborhood, their work ignited our imaginations, fostered a love for storytelling, and taught us invaluable lessons about creativity, empathy, and kindness.
Join me as I share personal stories and reflections—from a transformative visit to the PEZ Visitor Center that unlocked buried memories, to the profound realization that art can be a roadmap for life.
This episode is a thank you letter to the heroes, both famous and unsung, who inspired us to dream without limits. It's a look at how their legacies continue to influence my own creative process, from music composition, writing short stories, flash fiction, and visual art.
This is a story about nostalgia, gratitude, and the timeless power of art and storytelling to connect us to our past and guide our future. It’s my way of "toeing the line" and expressing gratitude to those who have inspired me, reminding us all to thank the people who brighten our cloudy days.
