Nashville Songwriter and Radio Host Lindsay Lawler Launches New Show "We Should Write"
NASHVILLE, Tenn., July 29, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — On Wednesday, July 23rd, singer, songwriter, and radio personality Lindsay Lawler debuted her new radio show 'We Should Write.' Produced from RadioNemo's New Orleans studios inside the historic Degas House, the show will blend sarcasm and soul into deep dive conversations with songwriters, authors, and creatives of all kinds about the healing power of writing.
'We Should Write' will air every Wednesday from 12 p.m. to 1 p.m. Central on all RadioNemo's media platforms. The show broadcasts live simultaneously on iHeartRadio, YouTube and Facebook and is available for listening at RadioNemo.com. Following its real-time broadcast, each episode will also be available as a podcast.
With an understanding of vulnerability and absurdity necessary for creativity, Lawler says she's creating a space for her guests to dive into how writing has served as a tool for healing, growth, and self-discovery. 'The goal is to remind people that writing—whether in a journal, a song, or the notes app on your phone—can change your life.'
Lawler is a Nashville-based artist, radio host, and longtime trucking industry spokesperson whose roots in Texas, Los Angeles, and Nashville have given her deep ties to the music, film, and creative worlds. She has performed for the lighting of the US Capitol Christmas Tree, the laying of the wreaths in Arlington Cemetery, and across the country on her own Truckstop Tour, which served as free entertainment and a respite for the men and women of the trucking industry. Her albums are distributed at TA/Petro truckstops everywhere in the US, and she is a featured speaker and performer at trucking events annually. Her entertainment industry relationships, coupled with her sharp wit and open heart to her hosting style, lend themselves to the high profile guests that will be appearing on the show. Lawler has a way of honing in on real talk and breakthrough moments with her guests, while also finding space to both celebrate their body of work and laugh at themselves in the same breath! It's a hard balance to navigate, and Lawler continues to do it with ease, making this show one creatives will want to both be a guest on and listen to.
The first episode, live from New Orleans, featured Fred LeBlanc, frontman of the legendary New Orleans band Cowboy Mouth.
'Doing the We Should Write show with Lindsay Lawler was probably one of the most intense and emotionally rewarding songwriting musical experiences I've ever had in my life,' said LeBlanc. 'And I'm not joking!'
The next show airing Wednesday July 30th at noon Central will feature Timothy Howles (AKA Tim Lopez from Plain White T's…Oh hey there Delilah!).
Lawler says the phrase 'We Should Write…Right?!' began as an inside joke in Music City nearly 20 years ago—and now, it's blossomed into a full-blown movement, with the radio show serving as the first step toward live events, community building, and creative connection.
'I realized that the conversations I have with my network of friends in the music and entertainment industries are worthy of sharing,' explained Lawler. 'I recently performed once again at the Country Music Hall of Fame, where members of the Songwriters Hall of Fame and I shared stories of how hit songs came to be. It was eye-opening, entertaining and healing for both the audience and for us on stage. And that's but a glimpse of what this show will be. We'll laugh, cry, and then probably laugh again.'
WHAT: 'We Should Write.' A weekly podcast hosted by singer-songwriter-personality Lindsay Lawler and featuring the talents of various creatives discussing the transformative power of writing.
WHEN: 'We Should Write' airs Wednesdays, 12-1 p.m. Central on RadioNemo's platforms: iHeartRadio (search RadioNemo), YouTube (@radionemo), Facebook (@radionemoonline), and RadioNemo.com. Episodes are also available as a podcast.

Tng dancers fly Sarawak flag high at Malaysia Open DanceSport Championships
TDA dancers pose with Chan (back row, third from right) at the 4th WDSF Malaysia Open DanceSport Championships. KUCHING (Aug 7): Tyng Dance Academy (TDA), which represented Sarawak, has made a breakthrough for the state at the 4th WDSF Malaysia Open DanceSport Championships held at DoubleTree by Hilton Shah Alam from July 25 to 27. The competition, which featured elite dancers from across Asia, was held at DoubleTree by Hilton Shah Alam from July 25 to 27. The TDA dance athletes emerged with a total of 44 podium placements including 10 gold, nine silver and six bronze medals. 'The 10-gold haul is one of the highest ever achieved by a Sarawak-based academy in national Dancesport history, marking a milestone not only for the academy but for the state's rising prominence in the performing arts. 'Every step we take is intentional because our goal has always been clear: to let Sarawak shine on the world stage through the strength of our people and our craft,' said TDA founder and principal Chan Tyng Tyng. Among the standout performers was Claudin Tay Jiayen, who dominated both the university and adult open solo Latin events, securing five gold medals. Eight-year-old prodigy Jovanna Goh Yi Xian bagged three gold medals with winning performances in Cha Cha and Jive events. Ariella Tang Chen Xin brought home one gold in Jive and a silver in Cha Cha Cha. In the Junior and Youth divisions, Jayda Chang Xu Ern and Trisha Yap Tai Qii, each earned multiple podium placements, earning national and international rankings under both the Malaysia DanceSport Federation and World DanceSport Federation. Also making the finalist roster were Amanda Goh Suk Min and Bong Ker Chien who performed across all Latin solo categories. 'We train to win, yes. But we dance to honour our home. To stand on the podium and lift the Sarawak flag — that feeling is worth every drop of sweat!' Claudia exclaimed. That spirit was hailed by Deputy Minister of Youth, Sports and Entrepreneur Development, Dato Gerald Rentap Jabu, who extended his congratulations following the championships. 'We are proud to have athletes who don't just compete, they represent. These young dancers have shown what it means to fight for Sarawak through hard work, precision and pride. 'This is the kind of excellence we strive to build,' he remarked. TDA is aiming for a broader mission beyond the medals. Dance serves as a platform for cultural storytelling and youth empowerment. According to Chan, each movement and discipline is rooted in a system developed in Sarawak, one that combines world-class training with local values. 'TDA's continued dominance at national and international levels is no coincidence. Rather, it is the result of a studio culture built on values, excellence and identity, one that quietly positions Sarawak as a new force in the global performing arts arena,' she explained. The Kuching-based Tyng Dance Academy is an internationally certified dance institution under the Imperial Society of Teachers of Dancing (ISTD), United Kingdom and ComDance, Australia. It is a registered member of the Malaysia DanceSport Federation and the organising body behind two of East Malaysia's premier dance events: the Borneo Open International DanceSport Championships (BOIDC) and Dance for Love.

#SHOWBIZ: Kak KM denies daughter failed bid to join airline
KUALA LUMPUR: Social media personality Liana Rosli, better known as Kak KM, has defended her 22-year-old daughter, Nabila Razman, following a recent controversy. The issue, which went viral on social media, stemmed from Nabila allegedly failing a cabin crew selection session at a Singapore-based airline. Netizens widely criticised her with sarcastic remarks. In a news report today, Kak KM, 44, insisted that her daughter did not fail. Instead, she claimed to have instructed Nabila to withdraw from the training because she was "not treated well" by the airline. "I won't allow anyone to mistreat my daughter. Working in a toxic environment is a big 'no' for her," said Kak KM, who is the sister of actor Ahya Rosli and the daughter of veteran actress Normah Damanhuri. Kak KM added that she was prepared to pay a substantial penalty, even one amounting to tens of thousands of ringgit, to the company for her daughter's withdrawal. "This whole controversy has put Nabila under a lot of stress and strain; she isn't strong enough to accept such brickbats from netizens," she said. "She's only had one interview, and that's enough to prove that she is worthy of the job." Nabila recently announced her withdrawal from the flight attendant training in Singapore via social media.

Millennials ditched 'cringe' Y2K fashion... but Gen Zs are paying to wear it
From Juicy Couture sweat sets and low-rise, bedazzled jeans to chunky belts and baby tees, early 2000s fashion is all the rage again. That potentially makes that old box of clothes in the back of your closet a sitting cash cow. Generation Z – born from about 1997 to 2012 – has taken to the Y2K aesthetic that many millennials cringe at. Fashion-forward college students and TikTok users are flaunting the miniskirts, chunky sandals and other bright, brand-heavy and borderline tacky items they likely bought secondhand. Jackson Mangum, a 24-year-old tailor in Eugene, Oregon, said that while he has distanced himself from Y2K and found his own personal style, his wardrobe still has influences of it, including baggy camo shorts, flared jeans and big, funky sunglasses. "I'm usually not Y2K but I appreciate Y2K style. I think it's cool,' said Mangum, who showcases his work on Instagram. "The baggy jeans, different pops of pink and the chrome shades – it's easy to go anywhere and be able to find things that fit into that niche. Throwing it together is easier than throwing together a full vintage outfit.' One reason for the Y2K resurgence is a 20-year cycle often seen in fashion history, experts say (Y2K is short for the year 2000). "Prior to Y2K styles being back, we saw a lot of 90s styles being back,' New York City-based fashion historian Emma McClendon said. Lauren Downing Peters, an associate professor of fashion studies at Columbia College Chicago, said the Y2K resurgence could be a result of boomers downsizing their homes and purging their millennial children's old belongings. "The 20-year duration is just long enough for a younger generation to be able to find the fashions of their parents' generation, something that they can remember but only in the abstract, as quaint or interesting and kind of available for reinterpretation and adoption in their 20s," she said. In addition, both experts drew parallels between the political and social dynamics of the two decades, such as technology booms and catastrophic events. "At the start of the 2000s we had 9/11, we had a restructuring of how people thought about the world, how people thought about themselves, how people thought about politics,' McClendon said. "I think the global pandemic can be a really interesting comparative to that restructuring.'

At the same time, the 2000s may represent a time relatively free of social media and interconnectivity, which could appeal to Gen Z, who have grown up in the age of the internet. 'That is kind of the appeal behind vintage-inspired fashion trends – this idea that things were better back then," she said. Jocelyn Brown, who owns the online resale shop Arkival Storehouse, earns a living off this nostalgia by purchasing vintage clothes from thrift stores and antique malls, upcycling them and reselling them online. Anyone trying to turn a profit on old clothes, she said, can use online channels and apps like Depop, Poshmark, ThredUp, TikTok and Instagram to sell and trade. Brown also suggests selling at flea markets. She advises sellers to cater to the audience buying. "People really like when something is curated and it feels like an experience," said Brown, who lives in Chicago. "I'm really specific about what I put on my racks, and I may have more than what I bring... or I separate it out into different collections.' Resale stores are another option. Nell Tercek, an assistant manager at Apocalypse, a resale shop in Boulder, Colorado, said about 75% of the inventory the store buys is Y2K. Staff specifically watch out for micro miniskirts, vintage Victoria Secret lingerie tanks and baby tees, she said. For every item bought, the seller receives either 30% cash or 50% store credit of the resale price. "Y2K style is really flashy and very exciting and visually enticing,' Tercek said. "Physical expression is really important right now due to the circumstances of the world. People are wanting to show who they are authentically and be able to experiment with clothing.' Downing Peters sees "logo-mania and the resurgence of a lot of these cherished Y2K brands". "Like, much to my horror, I'm seeing students wearing Von Dutch again and True Religion jeans, brands that I cared a lot about when I was younger,' she explained. Read more: Flashy clothes, baggy jeans, chunky shoes: Fashion is enamoured with the Y2K era The sustainable nature of buying secondhand also appeals to consumers, the experts said. Gen Z has "this awareness of fashion sustainability and the ills of mainstream mass fashion , and the idea that you can shop responsibly by shopping secondhand without sacrificing style and individuality', Downing Peters said. Brown said she is sometimes hesitant to resell Y2K-era clothing because some was made poorly durjng the industry's fast-fashion economics then. However, she emphasised, Y2K-era denim is much higher quality that current-day denim, making it more valuable. Looking ahead, Brown believes Y2K pieces will remain in consumer's closets but will be styled in a more individualized way. 'People will take bits and pieces of Y2K style with them and add it to just their overall style,' she said. As for what comes next? McClendon says 2010s style could be on the horizon, so hold on to those infinity scarves, skinny jeans or combat boots you may have tucked away. – AP
