Adult ISH is a culture, advice and storytelling podcast produced entirely by folks who are almost adults.
Songs like “Imagine” by John Lennon, “Fight The Power” by Public Enemy, and “Alright” by Kendrick Lamar have all become anthems that inspired people to stay in the fight for what they believed in. They were also a direct reflection of the cultures of their eras. Music continues to impact the world, and those behind the music are driving that change.
Adult ISH host Nyge Turner connects with two music festival founders. Modi O, who started Trillectro. And, Carmena Woodward, also known as DJ Red Corvette, an entrepreneur who co-founded Women Sound Off. We also catch up with YR Media alum and music producer Jason Valerio a.k.a. Trackademicks. All three award-winning creators help us explore how they use music as a tool to build community & impact society.
Adult ISH is produced by YR Media and brought to you by PRX’s Radiotopia. Be sure to follow all our socials @YRAdultISH!
