The Glow Must Go On: How Sensorio’s FOSO Uses Music & Light to Go from Fiber to Feeling

In this episode, Adam welcomes to the Timbre LoBro Studios two creative forces behind Sensorio’s newest and most ambitious exhibit yet—FOSO, the Fiber Optic Symphonic Orchestra, now glowing across 32 towering columns of light in Paso Robles.

Bruce Munro, the internationally acclaimed light artist whose work has transformed landscapes around the world, now has five installations at Sensorio, making Paso home to his largest body of work anywhere. And Nainita Desai, one of the most in-demand composers working today (Emmy winner, Oscar-shortlisted, Ivor Novello nominee), created the original orchestral score that pulses through the piece like a living heartbeat.

This isn’t a conversation about technique. It’s about why we create. What lingers. And what beauty can still do for us when words aren’t enough.

Preach. Run. Pray. Repeat.: Confessions of a Pastor Drug-Running for the Sinaloa Cartel #TrueCrimeTuesday

In this episode of Up+Adam, Adam Montiel chats with John Lee Bishop, former megachurch pastor, convicted drug trafficker, and now the author of one of the most jaw-dropping memoirs you’ll read: The Church of Living Dangerously.

John Lee Bishop’s story isn’t just a fall from grace—it’s a high-speed nosedive into addiction, crime, prison, and somehow... redemption. From preaching to fifteen thousand people on Easter Sunday to smuggling bricks of weed through the Mexican desert, his life reads like a crime thriller that just happens to be true.

We talk about the blurred lines between redemption and survival, how grief and addiction led to desperation, and what redemption really looks like when you’ve sat across the table from cartel bosses and federal judges alike.

This isn’t about religion. It’s about real-life stakes, real darkness, and a comeback story you won’t forget.

SLO Homeless Man Wins $1Million Dollars From Lotto Ticket Sold at Sandy's Liquor Downtown! SLO Dodges Bullet - Morro Bay Dodges Battery

In today’s episode of Up+Adam, Adam breaks down three wild and wildly different stories making waves on the Central Coast:

  • A homeless man in San Luis Obispo becomes a millionaire after buying a winning scratcher at Sandy’s Liquor downtown. Yeah—that Sandy’s.
  • Former SLO Mayor Heidi Harmon loses her lawsuit, and the fallout is as telling as it is expensive. Adam dives into the details and what it says about local leadership, accountability, and narrative control.
  • In Morro Bay, energy giant Vistra pulls the plug on a controversial battery storage facility after major public backlash. What happens now?

PLUS—Adam teases his upcoming interview with artist Bruce Munro and Emmy-winning composer Nainita Desai, the duo behind FOSO, the new immersive experience at Sensorio Paso. That full convo drops Wednesday, but you’ll hear a special sneak preview today.

Shawn Ashmore X-Men The Boys It Feeds fatherhood horror film acting fear

On this episode of Up+Adam, Adam chats with actor Shawn Ashmore, whose face (and voice) you definitely know—even if the name doesn’t hit right away. Shawn has carved out a powerhouse career in film and television, playing everything from superheroes (X-Men, The Boys) to complex, haunted men in cult thrillers like The Following, Devil’s Gate, and Aftermath.

Now, he steps into something even darker in the brand-new horror film It Feeds, opening April 18th. He plays a father desperate to save his daughter from something no one else believes is real. It’s eerie, emotional, and beautifully twisted—and in this conversation, Shawn opens up about how fatherhood shaped his performance, how he processes fear on and off screen, and why some characters never really leave you.

Catch the trailer and experience It Feeds in theaters April 18th. Follow Shawn and his latest projects here: Watch the It Feeds trailer

breast cancer triple negative chemo radiation surgery clinical trials integrative cancer clinic alternative therapies Be Stacie Strong Golf Tournament

Just ten days after her wedding, Stacie was diagnosed with one of the rarest and most aggressive forms of breast cancer: triple negative. She fought through chemo, radiation, surgery, and even clinical trials, only to hear the words no one should ever have to hear: “There are no more options.” But she and her husband Cody refused to accept that. They found hope in a science-backed, integrative cancer clinic, and they found life.

In this episode, Stacie shares her powerful journey, from being written off by the system to becoming tumor-free. We talk about faith, marriage, the real science behind alternative therapies, and how her fourth annual Be Stacie Strong Golf Tournament is helping fund life-saving treatments for others. This one will stay with you.
