On est en 1979 et Florence vit à Capbreton avec sa mère, sa grand-mère et son arrière-grand-mère. À cette époque, les femmes vivent en moyenne 7 ans de plus que les hommes et le divorce est plus accessible depuis qu'une nouvelle loi est entrée en vigueur en 1975. Poussées par les événements et leur profond attachement, c'est un véritable foyer intergénérationnel que ces trois femmes ont reconstitué autour de Florence, loin du modèle de la famille nucléaire. *** Crédits podcast *** Documentalistes : Anne Brulant - Textes : Elsa Coupard, Lætitia Fourmond - Restauration et mixage : Ian Debeerst, Quentin Geffroy - Enregistrement : Vincent Dupuis, Guillaume Solignat, Laurent Thomas - Voix off : Clara De Antoni - Musique(s) avec l'aimable autorisation d'Universal Production Music France - Chargée de production : Delphine Lambard - Cheffe de projet : Lætitia Fourmond - Stagiaire : Edith Monnier - Responsable éditoriale : Zoé Macheret - Un podcast INA. *** Crédits archive *** Extrait de l'émission télévisée "Aujourd'hui madame".

Tonight I'm joined again by Doug Bielmeier, teaching professor, musician, and host of The Process. This is another in a continuing series where Doug and I do deep dives into films of all types. In this episode, we're talking about 1972's Solaris and 1979's Stalker. Show music by OGRE.

1979 was an important year for rock and roll, but it was a bigger year for my musical journey. This was the year that the real obsession with buying records began. I had a job. I had a car. And I had put together a pretty awesome sound system in my bedroom. This was the first year I was buying new music AS it was coming out. I was no longer saving up for a record I read about in Creem Magazine. I was at the record store each and every week. In fact, this was the year I first started working at a record store, and you know I spent more money on music than I actually made at the store. So tonight’s celebration of the UK sounds of that year is truly a trip back in time. With a handful of exceptions, this was indeed a good portion of my playlist back then. London Calling. A Different Kind of Tension. Setting Sons. Cool For Cats. Labour of Lust. The list goes on and on of music I forced friends to endure whether they liked them or not.

Bette Midler sang, screeched, and sobbed her way to an Oscar nomination in 1979's "The Rose," directed by Mark Rydell. Loosely based on Janis Joplin, the film infused rock-star drama with electrifying concert footage and made Midler a household name. But now, decades later, to borrow a song title, whose side are we on? From a self-destructive singer to the ill-tempered cowboy who loves her, to the fans who demand more, it's hard to find a hero in The Rose's thorns? The Old Roommates grab some tissues (and maybe some ear plugs) as they revisit the high-decibel drama through their middle-aged lens.

In 1979, as Christmas approached, the United States Embassy in Tehran held more than fifty American hostages, who had been seized when revolutionaries stormed the embassy. No one from the U.S. had been able to have contact with them. The Reverend M. William Howard, Jr., was the president of the National Council of Churches at the time, and when he received a telegram from the Revolutionary Council, inviting him to perform Christmas services for the hostages, he jumped at the opportunity. In America, “we had a public that was quite riled up,” Reverend Howard reminds his son, The New Yorker Radio Hour's Adam Howard. “Who knows what might have resulted if this issue were not somehow addressed? . . .Might there be an American invasion, an attempt to rescue the hostages in a militaristic way?” Reverend Howard was aware that the gesture had some propaganda value to the Iranian militants, but he saw a chance to lower the tension. Accompanied by another Protestant minister and a Catholic bishop, Howard entered front-page headlines, travelling to Tehran and into the embassy. He gave the captives updates on the N.F.L. playoffs, and they prayed. It was a surreal experience to say the least. “It was in the Iranian hostage crisis that I understood how alone we are, and how powerless we are when other people take control,” Reverend Howard says. “And really it's in that setting that one can develop faith.”

We were 4 years old in 1980, so when we started this show we figured that would be as far back as we'd go. But now that we're actually focusing on the year 1980, we are making an exception. And you can ALWAYS make an exception for Steve Martin. The Jerk was released in December of 1979. But it was such a great and important movie (especially for Brad) that we're including it now. It'd a great way to kickoff the new month!We'll share our memories and break the movie down for you in all its glory. And since this is one of the most quotable movies of all-time, we finish it off by drafting our favorite quotes from the movie. It's a fun draft and a good way to keep us on track!

What a Creep“Disco Demolition Night: July 12, 1979”Season 20, Episode 1Margo and Sonia put on our boogie shoes and prepare to call bull shit on all of the excuses given for “Disco Demolition Night” on Thursday, July 12, 1979, at Comiskey Park in Chicago, IL. A group of boring, racist, sexist, and homophobic idiots decided disco music had been popular for too long. For fun, Chicago shock jock Steve Dahl created a stunt to destroy LPs on the field of a White Sox & Detroit Tigers game! Mayhem ensued due to the hyped (and hopped) up a crowd of meatheads who had decided that things like Saturday Night Fever, partner dancing, and people who were not “musicians” should have any success, much less a part of pop culture. All of this disco fuss (which coincided with Anita Bryant's gay bashing on the news every night) makes us realize that fighting pop culture “wars” is a sad, furious (and deeply stupid)tale as old as time. We have THOUGHTS about this one!
