New Hampshire Unscripted talks with the performance arts movers and shakers
It's hard to believe that it's that time of year again. One of NH's premier events is happening right around the corner. The 23rd Annual New Hampshire Film Festival in Portsmouth is October 16th – 19th and here at WKXL's NH Unscripted we're having a small mini series talking with some of the folks involved. First up is Mark Pruett, Cinema Curator for the festival, and he's kind enough to answer my questions about how films get selected, which films may be the highlights of the festival, about the connection between the NHFF and the Academy Awards. International films, animated films, films with a NH connection are all in our chat. The topic of the use A.I. in film making is particularly interesting. Great first episode to kick off our series!
Spacecraft carry all kinds of sensors, but rarely the one humans rely on most: video. Despite offering the richest insight per watt, gram, and dollar, cameras have been largely absent from orbit.That's what TRL11 is out to change. The company is building radiation-tolerant optics, edge computers that process and compress video in real time, and ground software that turns footage into operational awareness. On this episode of Valley of Depth, I'm joined by Nicolaas Verheem, founder and CEO of TRL11. Nicolaas shares how his journey from pioneering wireless video at Teradek, work that won both technical Academy and Emmy Awards, led him to ask why space was still flying blind. We trace TRL11's path from early in-orbit demos to commercial traction with operators and defense, and dig into how edge intelligence and video awareness could transform the space economy. We also discuss:• Why video is the “missing sensor” in space• Lessons from TRL11's first orbital missionsThe three core use cases: health monitoring, mission awareness, and mission enablement• How software, not hardware, creates a lasting moat in space video• The long-term vision of human-like awareness in space…and more. • Chapters •01:03 – Nicol and Starwars and Startrek03:10 – Nicol winning an Academy Award and an Emmy04:14 – Nicol at Teradek05:13 – How Teradek inspired Nicol's current company TRL1106:30 – How video applies to the space industry09:41 – Why do we need video and what problem does it solve?12:56 – A ring camera for space17:06 – The story behind the company name19:32 – TRL11's current product offerings21:43 – Showing the operator what matters on screen24:53 – How do you build a space camera?26:45 – What TRL11 has learned in their early orbit tests29:06 – TRL11's primary first customers32:25 – Making the case for investors36:45 – Should every spacecraft have video onboard?38:03 – The importance of video for inspiration40:03 – Misunderstandings when it comes to video from partners, investors, and customers41:10 – Lessons Nicol learned building a company in the space industry42:42 – Fundraising at TRL1144:26 – Legacy and product evolution • Show notes •TRL11's website — https://www.trl11.com/Mo's socials — https://twitter.com/itsmoislamPayload's socials — https://twitter.com/payloadspace / https://www.linkedin.com/company/payloadspaceIgnition's socials — https://twitter.com/ignitionnuclear / https://www.linkedin.com/company/ignition-nuclear/Tectonic's socials — https://twitter.com/tectonicdefense / https://www.linkedin.com/company/tectonicdefense/Valley of Depth archive — Listen: https://pod.payloadspace.com/ • About us •Valley of Depth is a podcast about the technologies that matter — and the people building them.

On this edition of RC2C, Neil Scott sits down with Colorado Rockies Bench Coach Clint Hurdle, one of the very few who have been in the World Series as a player, coach, and manager. His biggest win was Recovery! Nearly 27 years ago. The conversation was held in the Rockies' dugout on the last day of a 3-game series with the Seattle Mariners. It is very inspirational! The podcast concludes with 'The Last Word' with Academy Award-winning actress Jamie Lee Curtis, who has 26 years in recovery!

ACADEMY AWARD WINNER FOR BEST PICTURE!! No Country for Old Men Full Movie Reaction Watch Along: / thereelrejects Visit https://huel.com/rejects to get 15% off your order Support The Channel By Getting Some REEL REJECTS Apparel! https://www.rejectnationshop.com/ With Ethan Coen's "Honey Don't" out now & Josh Brolin garnering rave reviews in "Weapons," Andrew & Aaron are BACK to give their No Country for Old Men Reaction, Recap, Commentary, Breakdown, & Spoiler Review! The Coen Brothers' 2007 Academy Award-winning thriller No Country for Old Men comes to our channel as Aaron Alexander & Andrew Gordon dive into a first-hand Reaction & Review of one of the most iconic modern Western crime dramas. Based on the novel by Cormac McCarthy and directed by Joel & Ethan Coen (Fargo, The Big Lebowski), the film follows the deadly chain reaction set off when Vietnam veteran Llewelyn Moss (Josh Brolin – Sicario, Deadpool 2) stumbles upon a drug deal gone wrong and takes off with a suitcase full of cash. His decision puts him on the radar of Anton Chigurh (Javier Bardem – Skyfall, Vicky Cristina Barcelona), the cold-blooded hitman whose coin toss scenes have become some of the most chilling and famous moments in film history. Also starring Tommy Lee Jones (The Fugitive, Men in Black) as Sheriff Ed Tom Bell, who struggles with the moral decay and unstoppable violence he sees in modern crime, and Woody Harrelson (True Detective, Natural Born Killers) as Carson Wells, a bounty hunter caught in the crossfire, the movie blends psychological tension with brutal realism. With unforgettable scenes such as Chigurh's silenced shotgun and the iconic “call it” gas station confrontation, No Country for Old Men remains a haunting meditation on fate, chance, and justice. Aaron & Andrew break down the performances, themes, shocking ending, and the Coens' masterful direction that cemented this film as a modern classic.

"Anemone" is a psychological drama film directed by Ronan Day-Lewis in his feature directorial debut, from a screenplay he co-wrote with his father, three-time Academy Award winner Daniel Day-Lewis, who also stars in the lead role. It features the latter's return to acting for the first time since "Phantom Thread" in 2017, alongside Sean Bean and Samantha Morton. The film had its world premiere at the 2025 New York Film Festival and received positive reviews for the performances, dark atmosphere, striking cinematography, and haunting music by Bobby Krlic. Day-Lewis (the son, not the father) was kind enough to spend time speaking with us about his work and experience making the film, which you can listen to below. Please be sure to check out the film, which will be released in theaters on October 3rd by Focus Features, and then expand a week later on October 10th. Thank you, and enjoy!

Today on another encore edition of the Rarified Heir Podcast, we are speaking to Donavan Freberg, son of the genius humorist, comedian, advertising executive and writer Stan Freberg. Donavan was a guest we had tried to get on the podcast for quite some time and thankfully he finally agreed to be in the hot seat and we can't thank him enough. Our conversation with Donavan was frank and not always easy but at other times wonderful and whimsical. You'll see what we mean after you take a listen. Our chat with Donavan often started with the almost Wonka-like existence of growing up with a dad who had a fondness for Christmas, often took his son out on adventures late at night and sometimes not requiring him to go to school was part of his daily existence. It was more like a movie or an adventure that most of us ever get to experience in our own childhood When you mom breaks you out of school, you know you are living in rarified heir. We get into that hilarious story and a lot more on this episode. We learn from Donavan that his father was a genius ad man who created some of the funniest, most memorable commercials of the 60s and 70s which garnered him 21 Clio awards, the ad biz's equivalent of the Academy Awards for commercials. We also talk about our Frank Sinatra connection that likely brought us to this interview in some ways. We also learn from Donavan that a very, very rough change took place in his father's life after his mother passed away which is both heartbreaking and remarkable at the same time. Heartbreaking for the loss Donavan felt with his father and remarkable that he still has such affinity for his dad. This episode is all about duality. Take a listen. Everyone has a story.

EPISODE 107 - “SUSAN PETERS: A CLASSIC HOLLYWOOD TRAGEDY” - 9/29/25 SUSAN PETERS was a rising star in Hollywood's Golden Age, a gifted actress whose poise, talent, and beauty quickly earned her critical acclaim and an Academy Award nomination. With a promising career ahead of her, she seemed destined for lasting stardom—until a devastating accident abruptly changed everything, marking the beginning of a long, painful decline. Her story is one of both brilliance and heartbreak, a portrait of a woman whose strength and grace were ultimately no match for the crushing weight of physical and emotional suffering.

This episode also appears as a video episode on our YouTube channel, you can find it here: "Tim Larkin trumpet interview" About Tim Larkin: Tim Larkin is a composer, trumpet player, and sound designer whose work spans decades across the gaming, jazz, and film industries. His credits include Portal, Dota 2, Team Fortress 2, and HBO's The Rat Pack, with past live performances alongside legends like Ella Fitzgerald, Sheila E., and Huey Lewis. Tim won an Academy Award creating sound design for Best Animated Short at the 75th Academy Awards for his work on The ChubbChubbs! Setting Standards is his long-awaited debut jazz album, and was released on August 1, 2025 on all major platforms. The album is a curated collection of reimagined classics and one original composition that captures the emotional breadth, musical depth, and cinematic storytelling that have defined Larkin's career across jazz, film, and video games. Setting Standards includes interpretations of songs by Bobby Caldwell, David Foster, Jimmy Webb, and more anchored by his own original composition, “Gumshoes.” “This album isn't about chasing trends,” says Larkin. “It's about honoring the songs that stuck with me and reimagining them in a way that feels honest keeping the soul intact but letting them breathe in a new space.” Setting Standards blends cinematic jazz, soulful arrangements, and live instrumentation into a cohesive listening experience that's both nostalgic and forward thinking. With contributions from longtime collaborators including John Paris (Earth, Wind & Fire) and renowned arrangers Maurizio Metalli, Lennie Moore and Joris Hoogsteder, the album is a modern take on the classic jazz experience.

When Calculus Meets Heart: Stand and Deliver Gets the Math TreatmentWelcome to this episode of The Most Excellent 80s Movies Podcast! Hosts Krissy Lenz and Nathan Blackwell tackle the 1988 inspirational drama Stand and Deliver, starring Edward James Olmos as real-life teacher Jaime Escalante. This episode dives into whether this classroom classic still holds up or if it's just another case of sitting through endless math problems.The Good, The Bad, and The CalculusThe hosts appreciate Edward James Olmos' committed, Academy Award-nominated performance—he even underwent hair thinning for the role and followed the real teacher around for research. Lou Diamond Phillips also shines as Angel, the charismatic bad boy with hidden depths. However, Krissy and Nathan find themselves wanting more emotional depth and character development. They argue that while the movie succeeds as inspiration, it fails to show the real struggles and motivations that would drive these students to commit so deeply to advanced mathematics.The discussion takes an interesting turn when they question the practicality of teaching calculus versus life skills like tax accounting. They also critique the film's structure, noting that despite being billed as a comedy, it's more of a straightforward drama that keeps viewers at arm's length from the action. The hosts give Stand and Deliver a solid 6 out of 10, appreciating its heart while acknowledging its limitations.Additional Thoughts:The movie should have been called "Sit and Calculate" given how much sitting and math occursMore scenes showing students' home lives and personal struggles would have strengthened the narrativeThe ending needed more follow-up on what happened to these students after passing their AP examsEdward James Olmos deserved the Oscar over Michael Douglas that yearThe film lacks the dramatic tension found in other inspirational teacher moviesFinal VerdictWhile Stand and Deliver remains an earnest tribute to dedicated educators and student potential, the hosts feel it plays things too safe. It's a movie that works better in memory than on rewatch, though Olmos' powerhouse performance still delivers the goods.Ready to join the conversation about your favorite 80s movies?

Today, I sit down with Steven Puri, an Academy Award-winning Hollywood executive turned burnout prevention advocate. Steven's journey from the glittering heights of Hollywood success to discovering profound truths about sustainable achievement is absolutely insightful, and I know his revelations will resonate deeply with so many of you who are pushing hard but feeling like you're not progressing.What struck me most about our conversation was Steven's raw honesty about his experience in the entertainment industry—from the soul-nourishing culture at DreamWorks to the energy-draining environment at Fox that nearly broke him. His story beautifully illustrates something I see with so many of my clients: that invisible exhaustion that comes from pouring your precious life force into work that doesn't align with your values.Here's what you'll discover in this informative episode: ✅ How a chance encounter with a yoga teacher in the middle of an Indian forest became Steven's wake-up call to break free from the burnout cycle and reclaim his authentic path ✅ The surprising science behind "dopamine management" and why understanding your brain's reward system is crucial for avoiding the energy-draining traps of our digital world ✅ Steven's powerful revelation about flow states—those magical moments when time disappears and high-quality work happens effortlessly—and practical techniques you can use to access them consistently ✅ Why the "other thing" principle is essential for creativity, and how giving your executive mind something else to focus on unlocks your subconscious problem-solving abilities ✅ Simple but profound strategies for staying productive without burning out, including the game-changing approach of focusing on just three priorities instead of overwhelming yourself with endless to-do listsWhat I absolutely love about Steven's approach is how he combines his engineering background with deep spiritual wisdom to create practical solutions for modern burnout. His Sukha app and methodology aren't just about working harder—they're about working in harmony with your natural rhythms and energy patterns.https://thesukha.co. email at steven@thesukha.coGet The Net and the Butterfly by Cabane and Pollack about breakthrough thinking as mentioned in the episodeShow notes at https://www.breakfreefromtheburnout.comGet your breakthrough quantum call: https://www.scientifichealer.com/quantum Liked this episode?
