Episode Synopsis
Episode 056 — “Whole Lot of Music Going On”Host DJ Warm Cookies aka Willa May welcomes you back for another full session of sound, story, and growth from the world of Why Make Music… and WDMN Media.In this week’s episode we celebrate the rhythm running through everything—creation, collaboration, and community. Willa May opens with reflections on productivity, sync-licensing wins, and the momentum behind If I Was Your Producer Vol. 4, now streaming everywhere. She gives an inside look at Think Timm’s independent catalog, the partnerships with Code 3 Records, Bodega Sync, Hallwood Media, Evolution Music Partners, and Marmoset Music, and reminds us that we’re building foundation, not chasing fame.Then we dive into two unforgettable Philadelphia concerts—Billie Eilish’s “Hit Me Hard and Soft Tour” and Laufey’s “A Matter of Time Tour”—two different styles, one shared heartbeat. Willa traces the history and production of both artists, from bedroom beginnings to arena innovation, and shows how introspection has become the new rebellion.Next up: “How We Make the Cookies.” A deep look at the technology reshaping music production in 2025—Logic Pro 11 Session Players, FL Studio Gopher, Ableton 12.3 AI stems, Auto-Tune Pro 11, iZotope RX 11 and Ozone 12—plus the philosophy that tools don’t make taste. AI is an assistant, not a replacement; we’re not fighting the future—we’re composing it.From soundboards to shelves, the episode tours Lower Level Collections—a museum of Star Wars, Marvel and G.I. Joe memorabilia turned family bonding project—and hits the weekly sports round-up: Sixers soaring, Lakers steady, Aces dynastic, Eagles on bye, Flyers flying.Segment Seven, “Brains, Brands & Bots,” breaks down WDMN’s AI-driven marketing strategy: virtual models for merch, short-form content tactics from Adley Kinsman (Viralish) and Alicia Lyttle (The Queen of AI), and the truth that it’s not about the algorithm—it’s about the imagination we feed into it.Finally, Willa May closes with gratitude and a garden metaphor: plan, plant, water, harvest. Each episode is a seed; each listener helps it bloom. She shares the story of Paul Amadeus Dienach—the man who claimed to wake in the year 3906 A.D.—as a reminder that our choices now shape the future others will inherit.Listen now and stream “If I Was Your Producer” Volumes 1–4 on all platforms.Follow @ThinkTimm @DJWarmCookies @WhyMakeMusicPodcast and visit WDMNMedia.com">https://www.WDMNMedia.com">WDMNMedia.com for news, merch and Lower Level Collections updates.Remember — Think Timm, if nothing else.
