Yep! You read that right. Our show name has changed, hit play and hear about our evolution!

In this episode we take a deep dive because we are no longer on the radio! This is our first completely online version of Couples Therapy and there were no holds barred.

Couples Therapy with Randy Red Powell - December 21, 2020

In this episode we discuss how hard it is to pry gift ideas out of my husband, even though he swears he's easy to shop for if you just pay attention. Also, 2020 has sucked, and why there's still a couple reasons to smile this holiday season. 

Couples Therapy with Randy Red Powell - December 14, 2020

Is Die Hard a Christmas Movie? Randy says yes, Christal is a HARD NO. What makes a movie a "Christmas" movie? We don't think this one will ever be settled, but we do know what Bruce Willis himself had to say on the subject. Yippie Ki Yay!

Couples Therapy with Randy "Red" Powell - December 7, 2020

Hear the rest of Couples Therapy! No holds barred - we're talking about Thanksgiving food, traditions, and what a dumpster fire we've endured in 2020

Couples Therapy with Randy "Red" Powell - November 30, 2020

Recorded June 7, 2020 in the middle of an historic time of civil unrest in the wake of the murder of George Floyd. I was honored to sit down with three people that I have admired and been blessed to call my friends for almost a decade. Music brought us together and keeps us together, and in today's cultural climate I think it's imperative we have honest and open conversations like the one you're about to hear. Don Black joins us via satellite from Milwaukee, Sharon DeSouza and Marion Weatherington join us in my home studio. If you feel compelled, please subscribe and/or leave a review. If you feel called upon to do so, please consider a donation to a black charity of your choice, support black owned businesses, and continue to educate yourselves and keep conversations like this going. Do better America. Black Lives Matter. 

Words & Music with Christal Blue Ep. 10 - Three DJs and a Queen

In this special edition of Words & Music, we had no artists to interview thanks to the state-wide lock down due to COVID-19. So I decided to hand the reigns over to my daughter and aspiring actor, Emily Renee, who was home from NYC during the quarantine. This time, I tell the story of my "musical journey" through 2 decades in radio. 

Words & Music with Christal Blue Ep. 9 - Quarantine w/ Emily Renee

Episode 8! Got to sit down with Sam Grow while he was in town on the Whiskey Don't Freeze Tour celebrating his birthday. We talked all things country music, his writing process, the importance of respecting our troops, and even the nonsense of country radio. Joe and Randy sat in for this one and we had a blast. 

In Episode 7 I sit down with Nashville recording artist, Emma Zinck. We talk about her musical journey, how we met, the night Casadee Pope & AJ McLean crashed her set, and she gives us a sneak peek of a new, unreleased, single. By the end of this hour you'll understand why I call her FEARLESS.

In this episode I sit down with local artist Jo Napier. I've been wanting to have this chat for years! She tells us all about her musical journey, and her inspirations and influences along the way. Hear her stories of playing with some of the best musicians in Virginia and how she became a Coral Reefer for the night.

In this episode, I sit down with Nashville recording artists and hometown favorites Radio Romance. Josh Gramling, Sam Hayes, Moises Padilla, and Adam Smithwick share their musical journeys. We talk life, love, label deals, and lessons learned. Hear how the band formed, where they found their name, and all about the wild ride they've been on in Music City and across the USA.

Words and music, they need eachother. Here are the stories of singers, songwriters, and musicians who were willing to share.
