SUMMARY:PHAGTAWLK Podcast (Night 1)
DESCRIPTION:PhagTawlk Live comes to Dallas for a special two-night engagement inside the Foundation Room at House of Blues — an intentionally intimate setting designed for real conversation and unforgettable moments. \nThis is PhagTawlk at its closest\, most personal\, and most electric. With a smaller room and elevated atmosphere\, every laugh lands harder\, every reaction feels louder\, and every moment feels shared. Expect bold commentary\, cultural realness\, audience interaction\, and the kind of unfiltered dialogue that only happens when the walls are close and the energy is high. \nDallas will experience PhagTawlk in a way few cities do — up close\, immersive\, and undeniably personal.

SUMMARY:Good Kid
DESCRIPTION:Good Kid is a five-piece pack of rambunctious indie rockers from Toronto. A jack-of-all-trades ensemble—musicians\, programmers\, and story-tellers. Good Kid embraces the quirky and authentic moments of life\, determined to create pockets of joy. And their dedication to exuberance has struck a chord across audiences and platforms.\n\nThe J-rock\, indie-rock\, and pop-punk influences on Good Kid are scattered throughout their discography\, with high octane riffs\, catchy melodies\, and clever lyricism. They create an atmosphere reminiscent of the feelings of being trapped or misunderstood but provide a way out into a world of possibilities. The group goes a step further\, by curating inclusive spaces for their listeners online. Through their Discord channel\, Good Kid creates a community space for fans to interact with each other and the band in a casual way\, providing updates on the band\, circulating fan art\, and hosting virtual events. Likewise\, their Twitch stream opens their world up to fans by introducing them to the bands interests off-the-clock\, whether it be playing a familiar game\, learning a new song\, or offering a cooking class.\n\nThe heart of their project is their dedication to their fanbase and including the fans in their process. They give back in grand gestures. Following the release of their second EP\, Good Kid 2\, they sent their fans on an interactive labyrinthic hunt for the band’s mythologized mascot\, Nomu. The search led to a video game the band programmed themselves\, ‘Ghost King’s Revenge.’ Choosing to play as one of the five band members\, players move through various obstacles to free Nomu Kid from his arch rival Ghost King\, with their own songs converted to chip-tune in the background. Good Kid’s ability to blend their passions and values results in an energetic\, exuberant sound that is uniquely their own. And others took notice.\n\nGood Kid find a way to share their wholesome energy across multiple platforms.\nMost notably\, portions of their songs accompanied a video by the most subscribed individual user on YouTube\, American personality MrBeast. This was the first time MrBeast used a band’s music rather than royalty free instrumentals in a video. They’ve collaborated with top streamingYoutubers such as animator XrayAlphaCharlie and content creator Julien Solomita. After being featured by premiere anime podcast Trash Taste in one of their specials\, the band hosted and collaborated with co-host\, ConnorDawg\, in their home city of Toronto.\n\nGood Kid also caught the attention of some of the leading YouTube and Twitch accounts in the gaming space. Their music has been featured by several content creators and gamers such as  TommyInnit\, Ph1LzA\, Wilbur Shoot\, and Bugha (winner of the Fortnite World Cup). Top gamers of Valorant\, currently one of the biggest tactical first-person shooter games\, features songs from multiple Good Kid albums in their play-by-play montages like “Faster\,” “Witches\,” “Down with the King\,” and “Tell Me You Know.” Their song “Aloe Lite\,” was the backtrack to announce the signing of a new player with FaZe clan\, one of the most prominent gaming organizations in the world. The band was hosted by Arin Hanson of the comedy gaming show Game Grumps\, they have interviewed with KEXP\, Wonderland Magazine and Paste Magazine\, been played on Fortnite Radio\, and endorsed by e-sports brands such as TSM\, Liquid\, and Cloud 9.\n\nGood Kid’s online following and influence also translates into the physical world. They embarked on two sold-out headlining US tours in 2022 and as a support act for Lovejoy on sold-out UK and EU tours. Their single off of their most recent EP\, “No Time to Explain\,” has garnered millions of streams on Spotify\, has been featured on viral TikTok’s\, played on numerous radio stations such as Alt Nation\, KKDO\, and Out of Order with Ted Stryker\, while sitting at #9 on the Mediabase Alternative Canada Chart. Good Kid began from a determination to spread an upbeat energy through their music and not only have they stuck to their goal\, they’ve started to build something that is so much more.

SUMMARY:Stanley Cup Playoffs-Dallas Stars
DESCRIPTION:Round 1\, Game 5 / If Necessary \nTime TBD \n\n\n\n\nYour Dallas Stars are headed to the postseason for a fifth straight year\, 21st time since relocating to Dallas in 1993-94 and 38th time in franchise history! The 2026 playoffs will be presented by Choctaw Casinos & Resorts\, Kia\, and On Time Experts. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe National Hockey League has announced that Game 1 of the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs First Round series between the Dallas Stars and Minnesota Wild will begin at 4:30 p.m. CT on Saturday\, April 18 at the American Airlines Center. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDallas and Minnesota will play their third head-to-head playoff series following six-game wins by Dallas during the 2023 and 2016 First Round. The most-recent matchup was capped by Jake Oettinger ousting the Wild in his home state and Wyatt Johnston scoring the first of his three career series-clinching goals\, which are tied with Al MacAdam and Mike Modano for the most in franchise history entering the 2026 Stanley Cup Playoffs. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nDallas has made it to the Conference Finals in each of the past three postseasons. The Stars will look to become the third team in the past 40 years to reach the Conference Finals in four straight playoffs\, following Colorado and Detroit. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThe Stars have earned six series wins since 2023\, the third most among all teams behind Florida and Edmonton. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nMikko Rantanen\, who achieved multiple NHL firsts with his hat trick in Game 7 of the 2025 First Round and followed that up with another three-goal performance in Game 1 of the Second Round\, ranks fourth among active players in points per game in the playoffs. The only players with a higher average are Connor McDavid\, Leon Draisaitl and Nathan MacKinnon\, all of which Rantanen and the Stars could meet en route to a Stanley Cup run in 2026.

SUMMARY:Spring 2026 Public Lecture: Exploring Human-Robot Interactions for Older Adults
DESCRIPTION:The Center for Vital Longevity is proud to announce Wendy Rogers\, PhD from University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign\, as this year’s guest speaker at the annual Spring Public Lecture.\n\nRegistration is FREE but required to reserve your spot.\n\nComplimentary parking will be available. Parking passes will be available on site and e-mailed prior to the event. Please ensure they are displayed on your windshield.\n\nAbout the lecture:Robots are being developed to support activities and enhance abilities of older adults in their homes and communities. If these robots are to be effectively integrated into these contexts\, their design must be informed by fundamental knowledge of human abilities\, preferences\, limitations\, and experiences. Our research is focused on guiding robot design to support the needs and preferences of older adults. I will present a human-robot interaction framework based on user-centered and universal design principles that encompasses four primary dimensions relevant to design: the human\, the robot\, the interaction\, and the environment. I will share examples of our research with assistive and social robots to support older adults with varying levels of cognitive and physical abilities and limitations. Robots have the potential to improve quality of life for older adults – our research is striving to make that potential a reality.\nThe annual Spring Lecture is hosted in partnership with the Texas Instruments Alumni Association and made possible by the Jean & Bill Booziotis Distinguished Lecture funds.\n\nAbout the speaker:Wendy Rogers\, PhD\, is Khan Professor of Applied Health Sciences at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. She is a Certified Human Factors Professional (BCPE #1539). She is Director of the McKechnie Family LIFE Home; Program Director of CHART (Collaborations in Health\, Aging\, Research\, & Technology); and Director of the Human Factors and Aging Laboratory. Her research focuses on advanced technology design to support autonomy of older adults\, with and without disabilities. She explores the benefits of technologies including robots\, smart-home technology\, digital health\, wearables\, and telehealth for cognitive\, physical\, and emotional health.

SUMMARY:Ashnikko
DESCRIPTION:“I just like being a little demon – a little devil hellraiser\,” Ashnikko giggles\, her voice both razor-sharp and feather-light. The London-based American artist is describing the concept behind her new mixtape DEMIDEVIL\, the cover art of which shows her as a dragon being ridden by a demidevil version of herself. It’s just like everything Ashnikko does: as real as it is surreal\, and as terrifying as it is hilarious. “It sheds light on the polarity of my songs – some are tender and sweet\, and some are more intense. The songs are very different\, and DEMIDEVIL brings them together.” \nHer magnum opus received critical acclaim from the Observer (****) to NME (****) and saw her break through any TikTok trappings winning the hearts of the mainstream media with her brazen and headstrong attitude. Kicking off 2021 in style\, she’s already been named a ‘One to Watch’ by ELLE\, Vogue\, the Guardian\, DIY\, Upset and the Sunday Times Style Magazine and has performed single ‘Daisy’ on Jimmy Kimmel LIVE. \nThe mixtape is Ashnikko’s first release since 2019’s Hi\, It’s Me\, the EP that introduced the world to “STUPID”: her scariest iteration yet. The homicidal rap song propelled Ash to viral fame\, spawning millions of TikToks. After a US tour with rapper Danny Brown\, a headline-stealing femdom appearance flanked by male servants on the red carpet at the BRITs 2020\, a Doja Cat support tour and string of sold-out headline shows of her own on the horizon\, the coronavirus lockdown hit. That’s when she threw her energy into compiling her best project yet: a collection of songs that celebrate female sexuality and noughties pop\, featuring Grimes\, Princess Nokia\, Kelis\, a musical theater number about the clitoris\, and countless vicious one-liners. \nAshton Casey was born and raised in North Carolina\, and later Eastern Europe – but in truth\, she says “the internet raised me”. As well as Tumblr\, her most consistent influence was music made by empowered\, misfit women: M.I.A.\, Nicki Minaj\, Bjork\, Kelis and Janis Joplin to name a few. After honing her singing skills in her bedroom\, she took a fearless leap of faith at the age of 18 by moving to London\, completely alone\, to make it as a musician. “I wanted to make it big in the big city\,” she says wryly. “But I was slapped in the face by reality.” \nOver the following years\, Ash took numerous “gruelling” nocturnal jobs selling shots in nightclubs\, and waiting tables as a champagne bottle girl. Being groped by men on the job only cemented her early feminist leanings\, and she rose like a blue-haired phoenix from the ashes by channelling her anger into her music. “I tapped into some really good rage\,” she reflects\, noting that it was this inner demon that helped her to find her sound which she unleashed with Unlikeable in 2019. “I was just really mad at the way women and LGBTQ people were being treated. I was on a musical warpath\, intent on dragging the patriarchy\, dragging cisgender heterosexual men.” \nHi\, It’s Me propelled Ashnikko to new heights. “As I’ve gotten older\, my songwriting is still angry\, but it’s become more focused on self-empowerment\, self-love\, and body positivity\,” she says. “The best stuff I’ve ever written was written to myself as a pep talk. Hi\, It’s Me \nstarted as love letters to myself.” Peppered with maniacal laughter and blown-out basslines\, the 2019 EP is a victory lap of Ashnikko declaring that everything she does is extraordinary\, and that she listens to her own music in Ubers. On “STUPID”\, she’s joined by Georgia rapper Yung Baby Tate to deliver a biting kiss-off to entitled exes. \nSeeing the track go viral on TikTok – with the exquisite hook “stupid boy think that I need him” – was a trippy experience\, and one that has led Ash to work closely with her label on developing mental health support networks for artists who are shot to sudden\, overnight visibility. “If you can put a numerical value on yourself\, that is a recipe for bad mental health\,” she says. “I am very passionate about implementing good coping mechanisms for dealing with social media in a healthy way – hearing that many opinions about yourself is not normal. It’s not sustainable.” \nEven so\, Ash was thrilled that the success of “STUPID” spilled over to her whole discography\, with new fans geeking out over her fearsome and freaky back catalogue of rap and alt-pop. At the time\, she was sitting on hundreds of unreleased songs\, and so she began the process of compiling Demidevil: ten funny\, brash\, chameleonic songs that show the true breadth of what Ashnikko has to offer. “People might think these are break-up songs\,” says Ash\, “But they’re more about prioritising your own wants and needs and desires over toxic relationships – which can be in a professional setting\, in a romantic setting\, or in a friendship setting.” \nThe mixtape was introduced to the world in the form of “Daisy” – a femdom hip-hop anthem that announces “being a bitch is my kink” over an elastic beat. “Daisy” began life as a character in Ashnikko’s mind: “She’s a vigilante dominatrix who fights crime in the dead of night\, throat punching rapists and smashing the patriarchy under her New Rock Boots. She’s a real badass. She drinks straight whiskey. She hangs out in the dimly lit part of the bar in a leather jacket\, blue diamonds and platforms.” The aesthetic is capped off with a latex-draped\, sci-fi video from LA-based director Charlotte Rutherford. \nFollowing “Daisy” is “Deal With It”\, a sharp-tongued banger with a carefree chorus that samples Kelis’ “Caught Out There” “I stan her so hard\,” Ash sighs\, noting how stoked she was to have the 1999 classic featured in her own song. “‘Deal With It’ is like the hero break-up song. It’s about wanting a puppy and a vibrator rather than a man.” The mixtape on the whole is infused with late 90s/early 00s nostalgia: on “L8r Boi”\, Ash interpolates Avril Lavigne’s 2002 single\, updating the lyrics for a 2020 audience. “The original lyrics were a bit ‘pick me’\,” she notes. “I feel like we all have a history of our own internalised misogyny\, growing up in this society. It’s about addressing that and moving on and learning.” On “L8r Boi”\, Ash tells her skater crush to grow up: “I’m not a therapist\, and I don’t have time to be your mom. I’m living my life and blossoming\, and don’t have time to be weighed down by a sk8r boi.” \nAs well as sampling her childhood heroes\, Ashnikko called up two contemporary legends to appear on DEMIDEVIL: Grimes and Princess Nokia. The “magical” Grimes features on “Cry”\, an Evanescence-channelling emo-rap song about the volatile emotions that come with the breakdown of a female friendship. Meanwhile\, Princess Nokia lends a verse to the \nultra-horny “Slumber Party”; “a sexy song I wrote about a girl I had a crush on\,” Ash explains\, lamenting: “It seems to be a reoccurring theme that I always fall for girls who are dating someone else”. \n“Drunk With My Friends” is a grunge-y party track sat alongside the sinister lullaby “Little Boy”\, and “Toxic”\, a vengeful alt-pop song about a music industry suit who dared try to take the credit for Ashnikko’s talent. Capping it all off is the echoing\, guitar-based ballad “Good While It Lasted”\, a rare moment of vulnerability in which Ash reflects on the embers of a former relationship. But true to form\, she follows this gentle moment with a belly laugh: an excerpt from Clitoris\, the Musical! “Yeah\, me and some friends are working on a musical about the clitoris\,” she chuckles\, “and how it seems to be such a difficult place for men to find. Like a mythical land\, shrouded in mystery. It’s a quest-based musical\, set in medieval times.” \nIt’s that multiplicity that sits at the heart of DEMIDEVIL\, the biggest and boldest Ashnikko release yet\, defying any attempts to pigeonhole the blue-haired maverick. Ash is more than the blood-soaked character who cackled with laughter on “STUPID”\, or the fetish queen that stomps through “Daisy”. The demidevil\, she says\, is “two people – and I can be five different people. I can be very multi-faceted.” Throughout the mixtape\, she’s bratty\, sexy\, angry\, and heartbroken\, over everything from trap beats to rock choruses. Most importantly\, she’s a songwriter with talents that will carry her far beyond a viral moment of fame. Her personal idea of success isn’t about online likes and comments – it’s about the people who will fill the room once music venues are up and running again. “As long as they know all the lyrics by heart\,” she says\, “then I’ll know I’ve succeeded.” \nPraise for Ashnikko:  \n“If smashing the patriarchy had a sound\, we’re pretty sure it would sound like Ashnikko.” – Time Out \n  \n “The unapologetic rapper-singer makes angsty tracks for her teenage self.” – Wonderland \n  \n“Pinching from the latest Stateside rap and hyper-real pop.” – Clash \n  \n“A hot stack of sass pancakes drizzled in dark and playful wordplay.” – i-D \n  \n“She’s been crafting off-kilter southern synth trap like no-one else\, and she’s had one hell of a journey to get here.” – NOTION \n  \n“Ashnikko takes charge with a burst of playful energy.” – Complex \n  \n“Ashnikko is the artist providing an antidote to the glossy\, hyper-sexualised imagery of mainstream pop.” – Dummy \n“Ashnikko is bigger than tiktok…aggressive\, campy\, and demonic all at once” – The Fader \n“There’s something different about 23-year-old singer-songwriter Ashnikko…Everything about Ashnikko\, from her music and lyrics to her aesthetic\, is bold.” – BUSTLE \n  \n“[Ashnikko] has been on a journey from angsty teen to empowered ‘working bitch’” – HUNGER \n  \n“Viral sensation and modern girl power icon” DIY  \n  \n“Ashnikko is one of the most provocative voices in pop right now\, helping young women feel unbreakable and heartbreak seem like a minor set-back.” – Telegraph  \n  \n“[DEMIDEVIL is] one hell of a ride” – VOGUE \n“more than a one TikTok wonder” – Elle \n  \n“It is a “sex-positive” reclamation\, a modern continuation of Madonna’s acts of empowerment” – Financial Times\, 3* \n  \n“Audacious and explicit\, Ashton Casey fulfils all the hype on this playful\, genre-surfing set” – Observer\, 4* \n  \n“There are few acts as all-in as singer-rapper-and-future-pop-phenomenon Ashnikko” – Dork \n  \n“Ashnikko’s mixtape fizzes with feminist bangers” – DAZED \n  \n“a tank full of intriguing bangers” – NME\, 4* \n  \n“Sheer exhilaration from start to finish” – Clash\, 8/10 \n  \n“Headstrong and unapologetic” – The Line of Best Fit\, 8/10 \n“Enticingly sweet”  – The Line of Best Fit\, 8/10

SUMMARY:KXT 91.7 presents An Evening with Josh Ritter
DESCRIPTION:Josh Ritter \nJosh Ritter is a renowned singer\, songwriter\, musician\, artist and best-selling author. One of today’s most thoughtful and prolific voices\, he has released eleven studio albums including 2019’s widely acclaimed ‘Fever Breaks’ of which NPR Music praised\, “He remains a hydrant of ideas while embodying an endless capacity for empathy and indignation\, often within a single song.” \nHis twelfth studio album ‘I Believe in You\, My Honeydew’ is out now. Two-plus decades into his celebrated career\, Ritter has written music that has transcended generations including luminaries such as Bob Dylan\, Joan Baez\, and Bob Weir covering his songs.  \n  \nThe Book of Gold Thrown Open tour is meant to encompass the whole of Ritter’s career\, versus focusing on any one studio album. \nIn addition to his work as a musician\, Ritter is also a national best-selling author\, having released two novels to date: 2021’s The Great Glorious Goddamn of It All and 2011’s Bright’s Passage. Released to critical attention\, Stephen King wrote in The New York Times Book Review that Bright’s Passage “shines with a compressed lyricism that recalls Ray Bradbury in his prime…This is the work of a gifted novelist.” \n“Josh Ritter remains at the top of his game two decades into a highlight-strewn career. He’d be forgiven for loosening his grip\, but his hand has never felt surer.” \n– NPR Music \n\n“Harking back to Bob Dylan\, Bruce Springsteen and maybe a little Mark Knopfler\, Mr. Ritter has always been a slinger of serious ideas and high-flown imagery.” \n– The New York Times \n“Mysterious\, melancholy\, melodic…and those are only the M’s.” \n– Stephen King in Entertainment Weekly

It’s a quest-based musical\, set in medieval times.” \nIt’s that multiplicity that sits at the heart of DEMIDEVIL\, the biggest and boldest Ashnikko release yet\, defying any attempts to pigeonhole the blue-haired maverick. Ash is more than the blood-soaked character who cackled with laughter on “STUPID”\, or the fetish queen that stomps through “Daisy”. The demidevil\, she says\, is “two people – and I can be five different people. I can be very multi-faceted.” Throughout the mixtape\, she’s bratty\, sexy\, angry\, and heartbroken\, over everything from trap beats to rock choruses. Most importantly\, she’s a songwriter with talents that will carry her far beyond a viral moment of fame. Her personal idea of success isn’t about online likes and comments – it’s about the people who will fill the room once music venues are up and running again. “As long as they know all the lyrics by heart\,” she says\, “then I’ll know I’ve succeeded.” \n  \n  \nPraise for Ashnikko:  \n  \n“If smashing the patriarchy had a sound\, we’re pretty sure it would sound like Ashnikko.” – Time Out \n  \n “The unapologetic rapper-singer makes angsty tracks for her teenage self.” – Wonderland \n  \n“Pinching from the latest Stateside rap and hyper-real pop.” – Clash \n  \n“A hot stack of sass pancakes drizzled in dark and playful wordplay.” – i-D \n  \n“She’s been crafting off-kilter southern synth trap like no-one else\, and she’s had one hell of a journey to get here.” – NOTION \n  \n“Ashnikko takes charge with a burst of playful energy.” – Complex \n  \n“Ashnikko is the artist providing an antidote to the glossy\, hyper-sexualised imagery of mainstream pop.” – Dummy \n  \n“Ashnikko is bigger than tiktok…aggressive\, campy\, and demonic all at once” – The Fader \n  \n“There’s something different about 23-year-old singer-songwriter Ashnikko…Everything about Ashnikko\, from her music and lyrics to her aesthetic\, is bold.” – BUSTLE \n  \n“[Ashnikko] has been on a journey from angsty teen to empowered ‘working bitch’” – HUNGER \n  \n“Viral sensation and modern girl power icon” DIY  \n  \n“Ashnikko is one of the most provocative voices in pop right now\, helping young women feel unbreakable and heartbreak seem like a minor set-back.” – Telegraph  \n  \n“[DEMIDEVIL is] one hell of a ride” – VOGUE \n  \n“more than a one TikTok wonder” – Elle \n  \n“It is a “sex-positive” reclamation\, a modern continuation of Madonna’s acts of empowerment” – Financial Times\, 3* \n  \n“Audacious and explicit\, Ashton Casey fulfils all the hype on this playful\, genre-surfing set” – Observer\, 4* \n  \n“There are few acts as all-in as singer-rapper-and-future-pop-phenomenon Ashnikko” – Dork \n  \n“Ashnikko’s mixtape fizzes with feminist bangers” – DAZED \n  \n“a tank full of intriguing bangers” – NME\, 4* \n  \n“Sheer exhilaration from start to finish” – Clash\, 8/10 \n  \n“Headstrong and unapologetic” – The Line of Best Fit\, 8/10 \n  \n“Enticingly sweet”  – The Line of Best Fit\, 8/10
