The House of Herby podcast invites aspiring artists to learn from married musicians Amy and Nick Noonan. The cohosts are better known as Qveen Herby and Jedi Nick. Their podcast is a source of weekly information and encouragement for prospective musicians. The hosts are compassionate yet direct. They relate to struggling artists and tell them how to get things done.
The podcast hosts were both members of the pop band Karmin. Herby is now a rapper and musician. Nick is a music producer. Both attended Berklee School of Music and have learned what it takes to succeed in the industry. Herby believes everyone is an artist. She chose the name "Herby" because it means "warrior." It's also a tribute to Nebraska's mascot Herbie Husker. (She's from Nebraska.) Her advice on the House of Herby podcast shares that balance of empowerment and humor.
The D.D.D.D. acronym is crucial for an artist's to-do list, Herby says on the podcast. It stands for "do, defer, delegate, or delete." Nick says not to worry about perfecting that. "Earth is sloppy," he says. He explains that humans put certain people on pedestals as if they're above the "sloppiness," but no one is. Herby says some days feel like storms, so it's best to let them pass. Then, with astute comedic timing, she sings a line from Rihanna's "Umbrella."
The "Roots Before Fruit" podcast episode discusses three keys to success. They are belief, establishment, and commitment. Herby and Nick describe each attribute. They know establishing roots requires patience, and they explain how to do it. The couple also encourages artists not to wait for people to believe in them before starting.
House of Herby is equal parts structured advice and conversational tangents. The hosts talk about the Wim Hof Method, astrology, and reincarnation. Herby asks the universe questions and writes love letters to her flaws. The podcast encourages artists to persist with their creativity. The cohosts often remind listeners, "We need your art." This show may inspire others to create as well.
