Bside sat down with 11 year old Musician/Singer Brandon Blatchford to discuss his incredible 2022 summer!
Brandon discusses what it feels like to open for some of Gloucester’s Bands and Musicians; John Jerome, Bob Davis Trio, David Doc, Sam Pallazola and who he would like to perform with next (we’re looking at your Mystery Meat and Chris Fritz Grice).
Listen in to hear what it is like to be an 11 year old with some pretty great inspirations and some awesome bucket list ideas!
We can’t wait to see what is next for Brandon!

Episode 105-The Mini Viva!!!
Weeeee’re baaaaaack! Did you miss us?!
FIESTA CAST 6 BABYYYYYYY!
We got Alicia, BSide and of course our resident Fiesta Mayor/Queen Samantha Barrett! Even Emmet stops by to give us some impressive VIIIIIIIIVAS! Props to Samo and ‘The Crazy Hat Ladies’ for our epic intro!
Probably our shortest episode ever and shortest Fiesta Cast…It’s not MINI VIVA FER NUFIN?!
We chat about live music being back (we see you Neon90s),
Can we also talk about how Sam refuses to have a gap in “Pin Life” and made her own again this year?!
The Island Cowboy is back in the saddle and Runaround Sound got the band together to give us 3rd of July feels on the Boulevard!
Shoutout to @glostagear for the amazing shirt also featured on our cover!
Be safe this weekend and be kind to hospitality, like Sam says “Don’t be a gahgutzah”
See you soon Mom’s Kitchen!

Imagine being in college on 2007 and being asked to volunteer for an event helping build a stage.
Now fast forward to 14 years later and that first event you volunteered for has been listed as one of the “Greatest Super Bowl Halftime Performances of All Time” and you were part of it and witnessed it from backstage.
That is only the beginning of the story of our guest this week Lamarr Rollins! BSide and Lamarr have known each other for 10 years this month and she has been trying for 4 years to get him to come on the show, IT FINALLY HAPPENED!
Come take a journey with Bside and Lamarr on what it is like to be part of the Super Bowl halftime show, how to juggle a full time architect job and how to pull off a Halftime show in a Pandemic. Also Lamarr asks some of B’s burning questions she’s had over the years and expresses her loathing for Maroon 5.
Stick through some the rants as Lamarr drops behind the scene knowledge on us as well as talking about the family he’s come to know volunteering every year and how they are doing in the Pandemic era.
Episode 103!
It’s the 5th Annual Thanksgivingsode! And we are within Zoom limits! We talk about how Tyler has finally shunned us! On all episodes of episodes!!!!
We talk about what’s happening in Gloucester for Holiday Shopping for Small Business Saturday, Ladies Night and Men’s Night. BSide highly recommends stopping by Turtle Alley for their Advent Calendar.
Shoutouts to Downtown shops:
VIP Fitness-Enza Groppo
Stones Pub (come back soon).
Bossman Joey got new studio lighting! And using Fiverr…Where you at John Jerome with ours? Do we need to call Neon 90s or Chris Grice? Don’t worry B doesn’t have blackmail, but she does know roommates of some of you! Shoutout to Parsons of Neon90s for our disclaimer on our last episode!
We talk about our Thanksgiving Tshirts (thanks HippieRunner). Also shoutout to Saturday Morning Pancakes. Talk about our Thursday Plans and what may or may not happen?
Bside gave approval for Xmas to be celebrated and decorated early! Peter on the other hand said no! However Alicia started listening to Music on November 1st, Even B got a few songs in.
We talk about what we are thankful for (where Alicia almost kills B). Also we are thankful for our Home Gyms?! Thank you Obe Fitness and Beachbody!
See you soon, on the Zooms!
Episode 102!
Listener Discretion is advised for this one. We said it in our opener but we must repeat, the Cast of Alicia Unleashed and our Guests are NOT medical/psychological professionals.
IT’S OUR ANNUAL VISIT WITH THE MO’BROS, Ben Cannon, Geoff Turke and Tom Leard!
We catch up with the guys and talk about what has happened in the last year since we left Tom’s dining room table! 3 Weddings, Baptisms, New Jobs, 18 month olds, 17 month olds and of course we talk about Zooming!
Just like the past 2 years sitting down with the ‘Bros, we discuss Men’s Health and the Movember Movement. This year being the year it is, the ‘Bros and the Movember Movement have focused more on Awareness and Mental Health Awareness and we get iiiiiiiiiiiin to it!
We discuss what it is like to be part of a movement that is about Awareness of Prostate & Testicular Cancers and Male Depression as it is raising funds for programs to assist with awareness in a PANDEMIC! (unsure if you guys knew we were in one).
In true Alicia Unleashed fashion, WE TALK ABOUT BALLS (and self exploration…probably the best moment in 102 episodes)!

IT’S THAT TIME OF YEAR!
The Half St. Peter..aka 2020’s Fiestacast
Or aka “BSide will edit the shit out of this”
There may not be an altar at Fort square, no seine boats or Dory races in the Harbor, no zazitzas in front of the club. BUT ALICIA UNLEASHED WILL STILL HAVE OUR FIESTA CAST…SCREW YOU COVID.
Happy 16th birthday to Tyler D! Alicia discusses him coming in to the world in basically preventing his father from walking the pole. BSide discusses (maybe for far too long about her mother going through process for a Double Lung Transplant)..it ties in to Fiesta.
AND SAM BARRETT IS BACK. Also Bside’s neighbor Nikkita silently joins in.
Join us for this wild podcast ride (it’s not like you have plans)…VIIIIIIII….oh wait…
See if you can spot BSide’s editing magic.
We made it 100! We got some of the most important people of 2020.
Could you imagine not having your Senior Banquet, Senior Parade, Senior Prom or even your College Commencement?
That is what happened to our guests for this episode.
We Zoomed in with Rebecca Paul; Class of 2020 Tulane University. Tianna Nolasco; Marblehead High. Alycianna Guerrero; Fremont High School. Trinity Glace; Reno High School. Jake Enos, Madison Machado and Ben Renales of Gloucester High School to ask what it felt like to be part of unforgettable class of the century this far.
Join us for this monumental episode.
We collected Voicemails for any graduate of 2020 and compiled them here in this quick episode (that fully deserves Alicia’s graduating year ’99’ as the episode number).
**B-Side snuck my daughter, sister and dear friend Hannah without my knowing**
Featured Graduates in this episode:
Alicia Cox, Rebecca Paul, Sedona Gilard, Maddie Machado, Jake Enos, Ben Renales, Alycianna Guerrero, Trinity Glace and Tianna Nolasco.
Thank you to all the families, Coaches and Staff that helped with this episode.

Episode 98!
Hello! How ya doin’ listeners? Miss us? It’s Day 647 of Quarantine and we figured we would touch base. We address how we are handling living in a new world of Covid19, how it is affecting our work situations.
Alicia talks about the disheartening tasks she has had to face at her new job, BSide talks about getting a brand new job 1 week before the world shuts down on top of going public with her mom’s health conditions.
Shout out to the Health Care workers, Grocery Workers, Medical Employees, Sanitation Workers, First Responders, etc. exposing themselves to unknown circumstances in order to keep things going.
