Description:

Hello, Hello!


Make It friends and family, Chris here to announce that starting today, with the episode you are about to hear, we’ll be publishing our segments and bonus content on this feed daily. 


Why are we doing this? Because there’s a good chance you’re already listening to our episodes over the span of the week, we decided to publish our segments from each long-form episode to make it easier for you to enjoy the entire thing. 


Also, Nick and I are always looking for new ways to spice things up, meet our audience in the middle, and improve the show for you. There you have it: daily goodness in segments, plus bonus content from MAKE IT


Of course, we’ll still be releasing long-form episodes every two weeks on Friday—that hasn’t changed. Thanks as always for your support, and be sure to let us know what you think on any of our platforms at Beacons.

In this Things We Should Know segment, veteran producer and director Tia A. Smith joins Producer Papa Bear as he quizzes Chris, Nick, and Tia about which African American artists have been inducted multiple times, revealing surprising facts about gospel music legends. The conversation includes personal connections to the music industry and celebrates the achievements of gospel music pioneers.


We also talk about:

• The rules of their trivia game (no googling or using AI)

• How artists can be inducted both individually and as group members

• Personal family connections to Bobby Jones' early ministry work

• The African American Music Museum and recent encounters with gospel legends

• Birthday celebrations and shared birth months with gospel artists
