***BREAKING & ENTERING JINGLE JAM TICKETS HERE!***

********

Today on Up+Adam, Adam chats with the incredible Nimene Sierra Wureh, the host of the hit podcast Historical Records. Produced alongside Questlove and the Story Pirates, Historical Records transforms the stories of unsung heroes into hip-hop anthems for kids and families. Nimene shares how her background in acting, improv, and dance helped shape the podcast's unique style, the joy of working with a team of "beat-making raccoons," and the importance of making history engaging and accessible.



We’ll also hear about her Broadway debut in Our Town and her journey from NYU Tisch to becoming one of the most dynamic voices in storytelling today. Tune in for an episode full of humor, heart, and beats that bring history to life.

Breaking and Entering Jingle Jam is officially happening! This is a chance for all of us to come together, raise some funds for our Breaking and Entering Christmas mission, and celebrate the season with some great local music. Mark your calendars for Friday, December 13th, at SLO Brew Rock—now called Rod and Hammer’s Rock. We’ve got an amazing lineup including Damon Castillo, Dante Marsh, Josh Rosenblum, Kenny Lee Lewis from the Steve Miller Band, and Michael Venia from Carbon City Lights. More artists are being added as we speak, and I couldn’t be more excited to see how this is coming together. I’ll have more info next week on how to get your tickets, but in the meantime, head over to adammontiel.com to learn more, donate, or support our Breaking and Entering Christmas efforts. Let’s make this holiday season special for a family who truly needs it.
