Ryan met Kira through the Silverlake Conservatory of Music and has been working with her for years, and now you get to hear first hand why she is so cool! Not only do we feature another original track of Tara's at the beginning of the show, but in addition to Kira's interview, she brought her guitar to the studio and plays THREE of her original tunes for you guys.

I love it when you feel safe from those dangers.

Strength Level: An Old Pioneer This week on RISS, we are featuring the personality and talents of MARCOS VARELA. Listen as Ryan gently coerces Marcos' sillier side out into a whacky interview using all the classic tactics that all of you (except you) have learned to love and expect from him. Marcos is a stand up (get it?) guy, and someone who you should DEFINITELY be checking out if you like good music. He's all over the world all the time, so jump on the band wagon sooner than later! You won't regret it! OUR PERSONAL THOUGHTS FOR YOU TODAY: I don't care if you like wine over champagne, or pie over cake, or rabbits over hamsters, or any of the other options. You're lovely just the way you are.

Strength Level: Black Panther If a movie called "Black Panther" can make billions of $$, imagine what a podcast with a STRENGTH LEVEL OF BLACK PANTHER WILL DO!!! This week, Super Strong Ryan has invited his buddy SEAN PATRICK GALLAGHER to the show!! It was JUST St. Patrick's day, and this episode even features Sean's version of "Oh Danny Boy!" Sean is a great guy, and in addition to EVERYTHING else this episode offers, we have SPECIAL GUEST CO-HOST TARA LOUISE!!!! If you don't remember Tara from our show (which is highly UNLIKELY), go check out Episode 23 NOW!! There is a ton of music on this episode, a ton of goofiness, and a ton of things that will make your heart feel suh dang good. So get comfy, grab yourself a green beer (because that's fun no matter what day it is), have a good friend nearby, and feel the luck of the Irish seep into your ears!

Basically, this recipe makes for a real aural explosion of friendship, and we think you're going to love it! PLUS, real music from Lori's "The Live Project", and a tune Becca was involved in creating called "On Columbine" from "Guns! The Album". Everyone on this episode is worth checking out, and then IMMEDIATELY jumping on their bandwagons. Hope you enjoy another great week of RISS!

We truly hope you brought your listening ears and enjoyment smiles this week......you’ll need them both. OUR PERSONAL THOUGHTS FOR YOU TODAY: Friendship is like apples in a basket. You can see when the basket is full because of all the friendly holes in it.

Strength Level: Vitamin C Yahoooo!!!!!! And by "Yahoooo!!!!!!", I actually mean, "holy dang...love month from the love city is over..." To be sad about love month being over is easy... To be sad about leaving episodes from my lovely hometown of Wichita, KS is even easier.... But NEVER FEAR!!! This week, we have the AMAZINGLY talented and warm human being: AARON LEE MARTIN He is a what I like to think of as a teddy bear man who you can love in real life. If that doesn't make you want to listen....you may need to check your chest for "no-heart-in-it-disease". Anyway, listen to Super Strong Ryan as he talks to Aaron about everything your heart desires. After you fall in love with Aaron, and listen to SOME of his amazing new album, "Learned Behavior", get the hell on your computer and download everything you can find of his, and JUMP ON THAT BANDWAGON! You won't be alone! Ryan is there! On the wagon! All crazy caps and exclamation points aside, Aaron is the real deal, a person I am very grateful to call

Strength Level: Clowns Today, Super Strong Ryan is bringing you another WONDERFUL guest from his WONDERFUL hometown of Wichita, KS: MICAH OELZE!

But THIS one is his OLDEST friend who is a doctor. In addition, Micah is a musician, a multi-lingual man, a lover of people/animals/food, and so much damn more you can't even wrap your mind around it.

Strength Level: All of the glue in the world This week is SO MANY THINGS: - Week 2 of THE LOVE MONTH - RISS' VALENTINE'S DAY EPISODE! - Another episode from Wichita, KS (the LOVE city) - Another feature with SO MUCH MUSIC - A VERY special episode But most importantly, this week features Shylee and Ember Eichelberger; the daughters of my friend Ryan Eichelberger. My brother Ryan passed away in September after an almost 30 year battle with lymphangiomytosis and Gorhman's disease, but he left behind him an incredibly inspiring legacy of music, beautiful children, and friends that will continue to tell Ryan's story and try to share as much of Ryan's legacy for as long as we all can. In a time when not much music in the mainstream really highlights real stories or emotions, Ryan's passion was using his music to express his feelings. Normally, I put these episodes out for fun, goofiness, and to give people a breath of fresh/crazy air during their day/week/routine/etc. My hope for THIS episode however is that
