Joey Odom: How Injured Do You Want to Get?
Listen in for a comedic dive into the chaotic circus of technology and family life takes center stage as our guest discusses how to balance it all. Joey Odom founded a company called Aro, which helps parents to be more intentional away from your phone. They tackle the universal truth that constant connectivity often means we're "disconnected" from what really matters—like catching your kid's epic soccer goal because you were too busy arguing with autocorrect. Joey recounts his own cringe-worthy moment: missing his son’s first goal while chasing a “must-read” meme on his phone. It’s the kind of story that makes you want to uninstall every app ever invented—except maybe the one that orders pizza.

OK OK OK - I hear you. I HEAR you. Christmas is quickly approaching and you want, nay, NEED a christmas playlist of all my favorite Christmas songs with maybe some of my own originals sprinkled in there. Well, here it is. Because I love you. That’s why.
Merry Christmas everyone. A little early. But is Christmas music ever too early?
I digress.

Look, this may be bad form, shameless and in poor taste but this week I wanted to let you all know that I have a new record out!
It's called MOOD Christmas. I started the MOOD series back in 2019 and have released MOOD I, MOOD II & MOOD III which are all original solo piano instrumental songs. They're very chill (for the most part) and I have absolutely LOVED writing and recording these songs. Earlier this year I felt it was time to do a Christmas version of this series and so I started working, arranging, writing & recording and ended up with an album I am so proud of and one that I hope enhances your holiday season.
You can stream it wherever you stream music and you can also get it on vinyl on my website www.jonmcl.com (there's also sheet music available for all you fellow piano nerds!).
Thanks for listening! -j-
