John Della Volpe is the Founder and CEO of SocialSphere, a social media research firm that analyzes trends and behaviors related to politics, and he shares his insights on the dynamics of the presidential primaries. Phil Collins, the legendary musician and drummer, sits down with Trevor to discuss his new album and his musical collaboration with Adele.
The show kicks off with Trevor's take on the latest developments in the presidential race, including the Super Tuesday results and the upcoming contests in Florida and Ohio. He also highlights the recent controversial statements made by Republican frontrunner Donald Trump on torture, and shares his opinion on the dangerous implications of Trump's rhetoric.
Next, John Della Volpe joins Trevor on the show to talk about the impact of social media on the 2016 election. As a researcher of social media trends and behaviors, Della Volpe provides valuable insights on how candidates are using social media to engage with voters, and how voters are responding to their messages. He also shares his predictions for the remainder of the primaries, and discusses the potential implications of the recent endorsements of Hillary Clinton by prominent politicians and figures.
After a commercial break, Trevor welcomes Phil Collins on the show, who talks about his new album titled "No Jacket Required," and his collaboration with Adele on the song "Hello." Collins also shares some behind-the-scenes stories from his decades-long musical career, including his time with the band Genesis and his experience playing with Eric Clapton.
In the latter part of the show, Trevor addresses some of the recent controversies surrounding the Academy Awards, particularly the lack of diversity among the nominees and presenters. He also shares some humorous observations on the ongoing debate over whether or not Leonardo DiCaprio deserves an Oscar for his role in "The Revenant."
