  • Soulful Smallz: Beyond The Time

    Soulful Smallz: Beyond The Time
    2026/07/24
    One question changed Soulful Smallz's life forever. Long before he became an R&B artist, Soulful Smallz was a little boy from East Long Beach who lost both of his parents at just six years old. Searching for belonging, he found himself caught in a cycle that led to juvenile hall, prison, and ultimately 14 years behind bars. But it was inside prison where everything began to change. In this deeply personal conversation, Soulful shares how music became his therapy, how one inmate's simple question—"Do you want to live life... or do you want a life?"—transformed the way he saw himself, and how Homeboy Industries helped him discover purpose beyond his past. Today, Soulful uses his music and his story to inspire others who are searching for hope, healing, and a second chance. This is a conversation about loss, redemption, and choosing the life you want to live. Today’s Music Soundtrack Includes Music Artists: Soulful Smallz, Beno, and MM.

  • Mauricio Velázquez de León: Every Recipe Tells a Story

    Mauricio Velázquez de León: Every Recipe Tells a Story
    2026/07/24
    Stories Worth Passing Down The first lessons we learn in life rarely come from classrooms. They come from kitchens. For author and publisher Mauricio Velázquez de León, the aroma of simmering beans, handmade tortillas, and family recipes became a bridge between generations. Inspired by his relative, legendary Mexican culinary pioneer Josefina Velázquez de León, Mauricio has spent his career preserving culture through storytelling—first as the founder of the award-winning children's publisher Duopress, and now through food writing that celebrates the people, traditions, and memories behind every meal. In this heartfelt conversation, Mauricio shares his journey from Mexico City to New York, explains how homesickness led him to rediscover authentic Mexican cooking, and reflects on why food has the remarkable ability to transport us back to the people and places we love most. We also explore the philosophy behind Duopress, the importance of making books fun for children, and how scientific research, curiosity, and creativity shaped one of the most successful children's publishing imprints in America. Finally, Mauricio introduces his delightful new cookbook, An Illustrated Guide to Tacos and Burritos: A Comic Book with Stories, Recipes, and More—an inventive blend of culinary history, authentic recipes, and graphic storytelling that makes Mexican cooking approachable for everyone. Whether you're passionate about food, publishing, travel, or family traditions, this episode is a reminder that the best stories are often shared around the table.

  • SANGINA: Freedom to Become

    SANGINA: Freedom to Become
    2026/07/16
    Some journeys take us far from home. Others teach us that home never really leaves us. Born in Kazakhstan to a Kazakh father and an Uzbek mother, award-winning singer-songwriter SANGINA joins The Jeremiah Show for a deeply personal conversation about identity, freedom, and the experiences that shape who we become. From the ancient Silk Road and the traditions of Central Asia to recording music in Los Angeles, her story bridges two cultures while remaining deeply rooted in both. During the conversation, SANGINA reflects on growing up in a family of entrepreneurs, discovering music through childhood choir, competing on international television shows including The Voice, and the life-changing competition in Turkey that gave her the confidence to pursue music professionally. She shares how studying at Musicians Institute opened new creative possibilities as a songwriter, producer, and independent artist while helping her build a career entirely on her own terms. She also discusses blending Eastern musical traditions with contemporary Western production, preserving the excitement of songwriting, navigating the challenges of independence, and mentoring aspiring singers to become confident, self-sufficient artists rather than relying on a vocal coach forever. Along the way, SANGINA reflects on representing Kazakhstan wherever she goes—not simply as the country where she was born, but as the place that taught her generosity, resilience, and, above all, freedom. She also shares the remarkable milestones of becoming one of Kazakhstan's first Grammy Voting Members, receiving multiple nominations at the Hollywood Independent Music Awards, and explains why she believes success begins with remaining curious enough to keep learning.

    The greatest restaurants don't just serve meals. They become part of our lives. James Beard Award-winning chef and restaurateur Suzanne Goin joins The Jeremiah Show for a timeless conversation about creativity, hospitality, leadership, and what it really takes to build a restaurant that endures. In this classic 2019 interview, Suzanne reflects on the terrifying opening night of Lucques, the self-doubt that accompanies every new menu, and the philosophy that has guided one of America's most respected culinary careers. She shares stories from her childhood, from her time working alongside culinary pioneers including Alice Waters, Nancy Silverton, and Mark Peel, and explains why serving guests is both an honor and a lifelong responsibility. Jeremiah and Suzanne also explore the realities of running multiple restaurants, mentoring the next generation of chefs, balancing creativity with business, and why the greatest compliment isn't an award—it's becoming the restaurant where people celebrate life's most meaningful moments. The conversation also highlights Suzanne's remarkable philanthropic work with L.A. Loves Alex's Lemonade, which has raised millions of dollars for pediatric cancer research through the generosity of the culinary community.
