After Kenny and Brandon discuss parenting techniques, feelings, and (maybe) correctly pronounce Alex Haitz's name as they pay tribute to the loyal Ronnies, they discuss Christopher Walken's role as Feng, the comical antagonist who runs a deadly ping-pong tournament in the 2007 comedy 'Balls of Fury', a performance they theorize marked the end of the "Wacky Period" of Walken's acting career. Afterwards, Brandon reads from a ranked list of Bond villains done by Esquire Magazine asking Kenny where he thought Walken's character Max Zorin in 'A View to a Kill' might be on the list, and Brandon shares some exciting news about a potential discovery of Walken's earliest acting role on a soap opera in the mid-1950s which, to this day, has never been publicly released.

Vrijdagavond 20 april schoof de gezellige, superintelligente, schrijver, journalist en presentator Afua Hirsch aan bij onze Liveshow in De Nieuwe Liefde te Amsterdam. Afua Hirsch is van Ghanese, Joodse-Duitse en Engelse komaf. Ze werkte over de hele wereld en is een uitgesproken feminist. Genoeg te bespreken dus!Aanleiding voor de avond was de Nederlandse vertaling van haar Sunday Times-bestseller Brit(ish), On Race, Identity and Belonging naar het Nederlands vertaald als Waarom ras ertoe doet - de verholen waarheid over identiteit. In dit spectaculaire debuut verweeft Hirsch op subtiele wijze de realiteit van de maatschappelijke raciale kloof in hedendaags Groot-Brittannië met haar eigen levensverhaal. Ze legt uit hoe de kloof is ontstaan en hoezeer deze nog steeds wordt ontkend. Met dit belangrijke boek pleit zij voor erkenning en verandering.Tijdens de show spraken we over haar werk, de backlash, waarom ze niet meer voor Sky News werkt, de eenzaamheid van altijd ‘de ander’ zijn in een witte werkomgeving en haar favoriete boek of all time. We spraken ook over haar grote liefde, het belang van het creëren van een netwerk met mensen die cultureel dichtbij je staan en met wie ze liever zou willen Dipsauzen; Winston Duke, Sade Adu of Idris Elba.Er waren veel vragen uit het mooie publiek. Ook vroegen wij drie mensen uit ons eigen netwerk; Olave Basabose, schrijver, jurist en kandidaat voor de Haagse Stadspartij, Seada Nourhussen, Hoofdredacteur One World Magazine en Zaïre Krieger, student internationaal recht en schrijver om een specifieke vraag te stellen vanuit hun eigen expertise en perspectief. Kortom het was een warm, authentiek en typisch Dipsaus gesprek, just how we like it!

Crime-writer Mark Hill tells us how he goes about his day!Radio-producer Mark Hill has a life-long love of crime fiction, and spotting the tricks and traits of the genre forced his hand to write a book of his own!'Two O'Clock Boy' tells the story of a killer seemingly getting revenge on everyone in a children's home many years ago. It's the first of his 'Drake and Crowley' thriller series, and it's gone so well, that you can expect a second very shortly. In the show, we talk about what planning a series of books is like, after initially having a great idea for just the first. Also, we talk about how working as a radio producer has helped him talk to an audience, and how having a massive white-board and a few coloured post-it notes really helps the plotting.Our Distinguished Diary features the weird and wonderful writing routine of Arthur Miller, one of the 20th century's greatest playwrights - and we'll find out the reckless manner that helped him pen 'A View from the Bridge', 'Death of a Salesman' and 'The Crucible'.@writerspodwritersroutine.com See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
