Tay Scheibe was only 10 years old when she was diagnosed with large cell lymphoma. After chemotherapy, a stage four recurrence, radiation, and a bone marrow transplant, she entered remission—but it took years for her to feel proud of what she had overcome.

In this moving episode, Tay opens up about losing her hair and sense of identity, feeling isolated during treatment, and ultimately turning her childhood cancer experience into a source of purpose. Today, she is the founder of With Love, a Nashville nonprofit that helps children in treatment remember one essential truth: they are still kids, and they are still themselves.

With Love provides care packages, toys, games, creative encouragement, hospital resources, and special experiences for children facing cancer. The 100% volunteer-run organization is also preparing to transform a hospital playroom into a bright, welcoming space for patients from ages two to 18.

Tay also gives us an inside look at Yellowstones 2026, With Love’s Western-inspired Nashville fundraiser. Join us Thursday, September 10, at Union Station Nashville Yards for live music, custom cowboy hats, whiskey tasting, a silent auction, Kendra Scott, Ranger Station, heavy appetizers, cocktails, and a night of meaningful impact.

Come dressed in your best “cocktail cowboy” attire and help With Love reach its $75,000 goal to serve more children and hospitals.

Country artist Matt Rogers arrived with big dreams, good energy, and a security credential he would very much like to explain.

After performing at America’s 250th celebration in Washington, D.C., Matt discovered that someone had placed his post-shower biometric photo—not his professional headshot—on his official ID. What followed was a long day of security checkpoints, confused guards, and one profoundly unimpressed mother.

Fortunately, questionable decisions make excellent stories.

Matt also opens up about the less glamorous side of pursuing a dream: hearing “no,” questioning yourself, and continuing to show up anyway. He shares why small wins matter, how he learned to embrace what makes him different, and what changed when he stopped being embarrassed to be himself.

The conversation takes a meaningful turn with the story behind “Camouflage,” the deeply personal song Matt created after losing a family friend. Every stream helps support Brother’s Keeper Veteran Foundation and its work in the fight against veteran suicide.

There’s heart, hilarity, Nashville honesty, tour-bus reality, and a little Broadway bourbon math. The train may be wobbling, but it’s heading somewhere good.

Is Onoleigh country music’s Adele? After hearing her powerhouse vocals and deeply personal songwriting, we’re making the case.

Onoleigh joins us on her birthday—and the release day of her new song, “Nothing At All”—to reveal her upcoming EP, Love Bomb. She shares how her real life became her most honest music, the stories behind songs like “Waited Too Long” and “Losing Me and You,” and why this new project finally feels like the real Onoleigh.

It’s a fun, honest, and slightly unhinged conversation about great music and everything that inspires it.

This was not the episode we planned.

Meghan Linsey arrived expecting a fun conversation. Just as she got here, we learned that Dolly Parton had passed away. We were stunned, heartbroken, and honestly didn’t know what to do. Canceling felt understandable—but we both believed Dolly would tell us to go on. So we sat down, pressed record, and talked it out.

What followed is a raw, tearful, and deeply loving tribute to the woman who embodied country music, generosity, strength, humor, and hope. Meghan shares how singing Dolly Parton’s “Hard Candy Christmas” helped her first discover her own voice, why Dolly has always been the great connector, and how her music became part of the soundtrack of our lives.

We also talk candidly about Meghan’s journey from Steel Magnolia to becoming a solo artist: the painful end of a relationship, loving someone through addiction, choosing herself, surviving Nashville’s cruelty, and rebuilding a career when quitting sometimes felt easier. Meghan opens up about “Humble Again,” rediscovering her authentic voice, and why she continues chasing the dream even when she feels lost.

This conversation is filled with shock, grief, tears, laughter, and above all, love for Dolly. We didn’t have the right words. We still don’t. But we believe Dolly would have said, “Now you girls go on and have a podcast.”

So that’s what we did. We will always love you, Dolly. Thank you...for everything.

What does it really take to make it in Nashville’s country music scene?

Former professional baseball player turned country artist Bryan Ruby takes us behind the scenes of chasing a Music City dream. He shares the reality of starting over in Nashville—from writers’ rounds, song pitches, and rejection to late-night bar gigs and earning more than 40 songwriter cuts, culminating in his Whiskey Jam debut.

Bryan also explains why performing at Nashville International Airport means more than it might seem. We get into the stories behind his EP “Playing With Fire,” his dream of performing at the Grand Ole Opry, and what keeps him going when the easier choice would be to walk away.

Plus, Bryan talks about working with the Nashville Stars and the effort to bring Major League Baseball to Nashville. His approach to both music and baseball is the same: keep showing up and keep doing the work.

She also takes us inside her new song “Tajín,” a bold anthem about bullying, boundaries, confidence, and adding a little spice when being the nice girl is no longer enough.
