When we launched The Hook with Johni & Jess this year, it began with a vision—Johni’s dream to create a space where artists could share their stories in a way that just doesn’t exist like it used to in radio. Real conversations. No time limits. No filters.

For Jess, it was a full-circle moment—bringing years of podcasting experience together with a lifelong love of music, shaped by her mom and stepdad and the soundtrack she grew up on.

And somehow… here we are. 10 episodes later, we’ve had the absolute honor of sitting down with some incredible artists:

Dreamsicle The Band & Permanent Vacation
Tj Peterson & Joey Davis Music
VEXINE
Chef K Cooking
Willie Williams Music
Mighty Joshua
Scott Orchard
WILL KIMBROUGH

…thank you for sharing your voices and trusting us with your stories.

What’s been most unexpected—and honestly, the most profound part of all of this—is the love and support we’ve received from these artists. The openness. The trust. The willingness to go there with us. We don’t take a second of it for granted.

And here’s what we’ve got coming your way next…

The legendary Stanley Jordan, musician and songwriter Steve Bassett, (Fluffy (Tour Mangler, DJ, 9:30 Club Lifer.), Mary McNeill (Tr3s Manager and Artist extraordinaire), Teardrop(singer, guitarist, and songwriter), Gary Green (Harmonia icon), and filmmaker/producer Josh Pavlock of Osprey Media Studios.

And the best part? We’re just getting started.

“Blessed are the misfits, the artists, the dreamers… for they teach us to see the world through beautiful eyes.”
