Our First Star Trek Show 🚀
Warp speed engaged. For our very first Star Trek episode, we’re boldly going where we probably should’ve gone years ago: straight into a spirited conversation about the greatest Star Trek film of them all.
We’ll break down why this one stands above the rest—story, characters, themes, and that unmistakable moment when Star Trek stopped being just sci-fi and became something deeper. No rankings. No shouting. Just two lifelong fans having an honest, smart, and occasionally funny conversation about what makes this film endure.
The real question is… can you guess which movie we’re talking about before we say it out loud?
Set phasers to discussion. Engage. 🖖

We’re changing things up in 2026… and no, this isn’t a typo 👀

We’re not spilling the details yet (surprises are good for the soul 😄), but let’s just say… if you’ve been watching, listening, or rocking with us so far, you’re going to want to be here for what’s next.
👉 Here’s the move:

This upcoming show is a reflection on the precious life of the artist. It speaks to the unseen battles creatives face every day—the manipulative people who seek to exploit talent, the drugs and distractions pushed as escape, and the constant pressure to compromise one’s soul to survive. In a world that often takes artists for granted, this show is a reminder that the artist is not disposable. Artists are vital, sensitive, and essential to culture, truth, and humanity itself. Protecting the artist means protecting something deeply valuable in this world.

Our last episode of “Things We Didn’t Know” was an absolute blast — mind-blowing facts, unexpected stories, and a whole lot of laughs. So of course… we’re rolling it back for Round 2!
Join us LIVE as we dig into more strange, surprising, and “wait… WHAT?!” discoveries from history, pop culture, science, and everyday life. If you thought the last episode was wild, just wait until you see what we uncovered this time.
🕒 Tune in live and bring your curiosity.
You never know what you didn’t know… until you do.
Let’s have some fun, JHS Family! 🔥🎙️

Ever wondered about the stories behind the things we take for granted? On The John Henry Soto Show, we dig into the fascinating, unexpected, and sometimes downright bizarre facts that most people don’t know. From the origins of everyday phrases and quirky inventions to untold stories in music, film, and history, we uncover the details that make the world far more interesting than it seems. Join John Henry Soto, along with special guests and experts, as we explore hidden truths, surprising connections, and the little-known tales that will make you see the familiar in a whole new way.

Artificial intelligence is becoming one of the most transformative forces in modern health and wellness. From wearable devices that analyze heart rate, sleep quality, and stress levels in real time to AI-powered coaches that provide personalized nutrition, fitness, and mental-health guidance, technology is shifting wellness from guesswork to precision. Instead of one-size-fits-all advice, people now receive insights tailored to their unique biology and daily habits. This level of personalization was impossible a few years ago, and it’s empowering individuals to take control of their health long before problems arise.
Looking ahead, AI will play a central role in preventive care, early detection, and everyday wellbeing. We’re moving into a world where AI can flag potential health risks, analyze patterns the human eye might miss, and support doctors with faster, more accurate decision-making. At the same time, wellness tools—such as virtual therapy assistants, predictive sleep platforms, and smart-home health systems—are making high-quality support more accessible than ever. While challenges around privacy and ethics remain, the future of health is clear: AI is not replacing human care, but enhancing it, helping people stay healthier, happier, and more connected to their own bodies.

I’m excited to announce a brand-new livestream where I’ll be pulling back the curtain on my upcoming TikTok interview series — a fast, fun extension of the show I’ve been hosting for seven years. After interviewing hundreds of incredible guests, including Rock and Roll Hall of Fame musicians, award-winning filmmakers, and business leaders, I’m taking the experience to a whole new format that’s built for quick hits, big creativity, and behind-the-scenes moments you won’t get anywhere else. In this livestream, I’ll be revealing the segments, the gear breakdowns, the rapid-fire questions, and the cinematic moments that will define this new series. If you’ve followed my journey, you know I’m all about celebrating artists and showing the heart behind the work — and this new format lets us do that in a whole new way. Tune in and get the inside look before the first episodes drop!

Disney+ wants you to make your own Frozen sequel. Bob Iger dropped the news on the company's Q4 earnings call that the streaming platform's letting subscribers use AI to create and share short-form videos starring Disney characters. The CEO called it one of Disney+'s biggest changes since launching in 2019, right alongside new gaming features through Epic Games. Disney's having "productive conversations" with unnamed AI companies to pull this off while keeping its intellectual property safe. It’s worth noting that they're currently suing Midjourney for training on Disney's protected IP. It's not alone in this space: startups like Showrunner AI, the self-proclaimed "Netflix of AI," are already letting users craft their own animated shows.

Get ready for a hilarious new episode of The John Henry Soto Show, where John takes on the wild world of “No King Day.” Yep—you heard that right. While the rest of us were trying to figure out what that even means, social media decided it was a thing. John’s here to break down the madness with his signature humor, sharp insight, and that Bronx-style common sense that makes you laugh and think at the same time. From overreactions to royal conspiracies, nothing’s off the table as John dives into how some folks will literally make a holiday out of not having one. Tune in for a good laugh, a dose of sanity, and a reminder that sometimes the best way to handle ridiculousness... is to laugh right back at it.

For many Puerto Rican families—and other minority communities—life has often been about survival. Parents and grandparents worked tirelessly, sometimes holding two or three jobs, just to keep food on the table. Dreams were often put on hold so the next generation could have more opportunities. While this sacrifice is powerful and noble, it can also create cycles of financial struggle, limited health practices, or even a mindset that success isn’t meant for “people like us.” That’s why Generational Shift is so important. It’s about consciously deciding to break those cycles, honoring the sacrifices of the past while refusing to pass down the struggles that came with them. For Puerto Rican families, this can mean moving away from the “work until you drop” mentality and instead building businesses, investing, prioritizing education, and reclaiming cultural identity with pride. For other minority groups, it may look like shifting from scarcity thinking to abundance, from silence to open communication, or from just surviving to truly thriving. This shift doesn’t erase our history—it amplifies it. It says: “Because of what our parents endured, we will live differently. We will create healthier homes, stronger financial futures, and a legacy of joy, not just endurance.” When families commit to a new way of living, they change not just their household, but their entire community. One generation’s courage to shift direction can spark a wave of empowerment that lasts for centuries.

On today’s show, I want to dive into some of the latest news stories that remind us—even in the middle of chaos—that there are incredible things happening all around us. Yes, there’s plenty of crazy out there, but when you look closer, you start to see stories of people rising up, communities coming together, and breakthroughs that remind us we are not losing this fight—we are winning the war against evil. Every small victory, every act of courage, every moment of truth being revealed is proof that the light is stronger than the darkness.

In today’s world, it feels like people can’t have a conversation without getting offended—or worse, turning sensitivity into anger and even violence. But here’s the truth: being overly sensitive is a creativity killer. On this episode, we break down why thick skin is essential for artists, creators, and anyone chasing success. Learn how to handle criticism without folding, turn emotions into fuel for your craft, and stop letting over-sensitivity hold you back. If you’re ready to grow, create, and succeed, this one’s for you.

As artists, we often demand so much from ourselves—long nights, endless rehearsals, constant creating—without realizing that our bodies need proper fuel to keep up with our vision. Nutrient deficiencies can creep in quietly, leaving us drained, unfocused, and even emotionally unsteady, which directly impacts our production and creative drive. But the good news is, when we take care of our health—whether through better nutrition, rest, or mindful habits—we unlock deeper energy, sharper focus, and stronger resilience. This upcoming show will explore how nourishing yourself properly isn’t just about staying healthy—it’s about protecting your creativity and ensuring your art continues to thrive.

Tomorrow morning on The John Henry Soto Show, we’ll take a heartfelt look at the legendary artists we've lost over the past two weeks—giants like Ozzy Osbourne, Hulk Hogan, Connie Francis, Dame Cleo Laine, and Malcolm-Jamal Warner. These icons weren’t just entertainers—they were cultural game-changers who shaped music, television, and storytelling across generations. We’ll explore their contributions, the impact they’ve had on our lives, and why their legacies matter now more than ever. Join me as we celebrate their art, their influence, and the inspiration they continue to provide.

For decades, we were told things about food that turned out to be flat-out lies. From margarine being “healthier” than butter, to eggs being vilified for cholesterol, to fat-free everything being the key to weight loss—it turns out much of what we were taught was more marketing than science. In this episode, we’re digging into the myths we swallowed whole, uncovering who really benefited from the misinformation, and setting the record straight on what’s actually good for us. Get ready to question everything you thought you knew about your plate!

Late-night talk shows are facing a major identity shift—viewership is down, formats feel tired, and audiences are craving something real, fresh, and unpredictable. Networks are trying to hold onto relevance by recycling safe names or repackaging the same old formula. But this is exactly why George and I should be considered to host a late-night show. We’re completely unknowns—and that’s our superpower. We bring raw chemistry, humor, sharp insight, and the kind of unpredictable conversations you just don’t get anymore. No suits, no fluff—just two guys with experience, perspective, and a mic. Late night needs a shake-up. We’re it.
