The War and Treaty’s Michael and Tanya Trotter grew up in Cleveland, Ohio, and Washington, DC, respectively, but both have family roots in the South. They also grew up in the musical traditions of their churches – Tanya in the Black Baptist Church and Michael in the Seventh Day Adventist Church – where they learned the power of song to move people. After becoming a father at a very young age, Michael eventually joined the armed forces and served in Iraq and Germany, where he took up songwriting as a way of dealing with his experiences there. Meanwhile Tanya embarked on a singing and acting career after a breakthrough appearance in Sister Act 2 alongside Whoopi Goldberg and Lauryn Hill. Now, after a long and sometimes traumatic journey, Michael and Tanya are married, touring, winning all sorts of awards, and set to release their fifth album together, and their fourth as The War and Treaty. Sid talks to Michael and Tanya about the new record, Plus One , as well as their collaboration with Miranda Lambert, what it was like to record at FAME studios in Muscle Shoals, and how they’re blending country, soul, gospel, and R&B.

Join us, Nick & Glenn, as we take an in depth look at the many films and books that appeared throughout the 1970’s about demonic possession. We explore the notion that this was due to - first the novel, The Exorcist (by William Peter Blatty) – and then a few years later, William Friedken’s iconic film. In this podcast, while acknowledging the 1973 film The Exorcist for the brilliant, horror masterpiece that it is, we also discuss some of the other excellent films from the 1970’s that aptly dealt with the devil – then in contrast – delve into the slew of poorly made films from the decade on the subject (lots of fun). As usual, we discus and comment on many of these films, while listening to clips from movies such as The Omen, The Sentinel, Satan’s School for Girls, The Mephisto Waltz, The Devil Within Her, Look What’s Happened to Rosemary’s Baby, The Evil, and much more. As mentioned, we also focus on a varied selection of the novels published at the time – books such as The Guardian, Lupe, The Search for Joseph Tully, The Godsend, and several other titles. If you enjoy films & books full of demonic horror - you will enjoy this podcast – which clearly illustrates that the 1970’s was definitely “The Decade of The Devil”.…
