DadGrass Podcast is a family-friendly folk music podcast that uses American roots music to explore history, storytelling, and shared cultural memory, starting where modern podcasts are played. Hosted by a public-school music educator and folk/Americana musician Tim McWilliams, and written in collaboration with his wife Laura McWilliams, a Speech-Language Pathologist, DadGrass Podcast introduces kids (and the adults raising them) to the songs that have shaped American life: labor songs, regional folk, protest music, and storytelling ballads that help explain who we are and where we came from.Each short episode centers on a single song, its origins, the people who sang it, the moment it came from, and why it has lasted. Rather than telling listeners what to think or believe, DadGrass invites families to listen closely, ask questions, and notice how music carries values, conflict, hope, and identity across generations.In a media environment dominated by fast content and fragmented attention, DadGrass Podcast offers something slower and more connective: shared listening. Folk music gives families a way to talk about history, fairness, work, land, and community through stories and melodies that have endured long after headlines faded.These songs remind us that American history has always been shaped by ordinary people workers, parents, migrants, artists, and neighbors, using music to make sense of change and pass down meaning.Why this matters: Many families want ways to teach history and values without turning every conversation into a debate.Folk music offers a nonpartisan, historically grounded, and emotionally accessible entry point.Songs carry memory. Culture outlasts news cycles.DadGrass Podcast helps families build cultural literacy and historical awareness through music, before polarization, before arguments, before labels. It treats democracy, history, and identity not as abstractions, but as lived experiences passed from one generation to the next.This is music education. It's cultural memory. And it's an invitation to listen to the past, to each other, and to the songs that shaped us. more

Australia's Roots Music Bible

Launching in 2024, the Curious Goldfish Brand is inspired by two episodes from the First Season of the Apple TV+ Series Ted Lasso. The 'Goldfish' reference is about the importance of not dwelling on mistakes in life. In an early episode, Ted Lasso, the series' namesake asks one of his players after they were badly beaten in a play during training what the happiest animal on earth is. The answer: A Goldfish, because it has a 10-second memory. Lasso encourages the player to forget the mistake and to not let it hinder his mindset. In other words, to 'Be a Goldfish.' The 'Curious' reference is born from another Season 1 episode where Ted finds himself in a dart match at a local Pub with a ruthless Football Club Owner. Lasso references a quote from Walt Whitman to 'Be Curious, Not Judgmental.' So 'Being a Goldfish' is a great start, but curiosity is an undervalued trait in today's world. We don't ask enough questions; we don't inquire enough about each other and about life. So I want people to be 'Curious Goldfish.'The initial premise of the podcast will center around my curiosity about music. I can't sing. I don't play a musical instrument, but I am inspired by artists who are vulnerable enough to put their thoughts down and then share them with the entire world. I'm curious about the songwriting process; I'm curious about a musician's journey; I'm curious about the business of music; I'm curious about who or what inspires a sad song, a love song - and everything in between. Though the initial premise is music, we will likely spend time discussing and highlighting all-things Ted Lasso. In its three seasons, it inspired the host in so many ways (work, personal, relationships etc). The musical focus of the Curious Goldfish Podcast will center around up-and-coming artists primarily in rock, roots, folk, Country and Americana genres. Not every aspiring musician will earn $100 million from Spotify streaming like Taylor Swift. Our goal is to shine a light on those artists who have as few as 100 monthly listeners to those with more than 100,000. Their stories deserve to be heard because your music can inspire, and it's time you had a chance to share them. more
