This week, Nontourage welcomes Danny Sanchez to the mic. This artist and musician shares his story and his craft. Danny talks about his early musical influences (his parent's record collection) and how a discovery of musical theater drove him to pursue a career in the arts. He speculates on the advantages of growing up in "the valley" and attending a performing arts magnet school, and reveals why he chose not to head east to study music at Berklee, but then instead started the band Jim's Fault. Currently working as a gemologist, Danny discusses the break he took from music and the beauty he found in rocks. Proving that his relationship with music is far from over though, Danny provides the musical interlude this week with his song "The Closings." So, sit back, get to know Danny and as always enjoy the SHOW!!!

Every once in awhile a TV show really gets you thinking. Ever since the hit FOX show the OC was cancelled, the girls at Nontourage have been discussing the question of where does LA end and the OC begin. This week Nontourage tries define what exactly is Los Angeles. Taking into consideration LA's reputation for urban sprawl, Sarah hypothesizes how Los Angeles is perceived by neighboring counties. Having attended a Kings vs Ducks Hockey game, Sarah and Julie investigate the rivalry between these teams. The two girls also travel down to an Orange County Podcasters meeting to hang out with their podcasting brothers to the south. Listen to Victor of Immigration Tales or Typical Mac User and Adam of The MacCast talk about their shows as well as their views of Los Angeles. So, get comfy in your car, grab your maps of the greater SoCal area, and as always enjoy the SHOW!!!

This week Sarah and Julie discuss the Academy awards as well as review the Independent Spirit awards. The two girls took time out of their busy schedules to visit Hollywood and Highland to hold an actual statuette (twist our arms!!). Rehearsing their Matt & Ben moment, the two reflect on what it'd be like to win an Academy Award and whether they'd prefer to be repeatedly nominated. They comment on their favorite Oscar and Spirit award moments and congratulate all the winners. So before the season ends, take out your note cards, toast your parents, and always enjoy the SHOW!!!!

Another award show has come and gone, and while Hollywood preps for the Oscars, Sarah Atwood, aka: Lowlights, joins Brunette to wrap up this year's Grammys. Thanks to friends in fun places, Sarah and Julie were able to sneak into the Staples Center to watch Justin Timberlake rehearse his Grammy performance. Impressed with what it takes to put on such a show, the girls describe what it was like to watch performers and producers prep for the live event. After comparing the simulcast to the rehearsal, both LL and Brunette review their favorite Grammy moments and congratulate the winners. So, grab your favorite makeshift mic, turn your desk lamp into a follow spot, reacquaint yourself with your inner rockstar, and as always enjoy the SHOW!!!
