Diabetes Late Nite inspired by Mark Ronson

June’s Diabetes Late Nite podcast is inspired by Mark Ronson, an English musician, DJ, singer, and record producer. 

Tonight we're talking about different strategies to help you get out of a 'food, fitness and diabetes' funk. 

Mark's latest album, “Uptown Special” is considered to be his most inventive and vibrant work to date. The album is inspired by his musical beginnings as a teenager growing up in New York City in the early 1990’s and features the hit song, “Uptown Funk” featuring Bruno Mars.

First Lady Michelle Obama and Ellen DeGeneres performed a dance routine to the song with help from the So You Think You Can Dance all-star team on Ellen’s TV Show to celebrate the 5-year anniversary of her “Let’s Move” campaign. "We’re asking folks all across the country to #GimmeFive ways their leading a healthy life," Obama said.

The album was written and produced with GRAMMY® -winning producer Jeff Bhasker. The majority of the album's lyrics were written by Pulitzer-winning American novelist Michael Chabon. Mark Ronson's favorite living author, Chabon became a part of the songwriting process early on and was fully immersed in the album's narrative creation, often working with Ronson and the vocalists in the recording studio.

Tonight's guests include the Charlie's Angels of Outreach, Chef Robert Lewis, Mama Rose Marie, Dr. Lori L. Shemek PhD and Author Trisha Porretti, RN, BSN, CDE. Throughout the broadcast Mr. Divabetic will be playing selected tracks from Mark Ronson's "Uptown Special" album courtesy of SONY MUSIC.
