Podcasts about Airport lounge

Send us a textLongtime-listening playwright Brad McEntire streamed into the Spotlight to discuss his experience and approach to the craft. We discuss the exercises and lessons from studying under Will Power at Southern Methodist University and the Dallas Theatre Center, playing with the rhythm of dialogue, what beginning playwrights don't do or practice, and whether or not you can achieve impossible stage directions with a small budget. We also delve into his background as a literary manager, his process of one-person shows and the difference between solo performances and personal stories, the one-person structure as well as playing with different structures, tackling solo long-form improv, staging your own one-person show and finding opportunities for them. We wrap things up with the flaws of rewriting on stage and his podcasts - The Cultivated Playwright and Brad McEntire Plays and - and the difficulty of monetization. Brad's energy is contagious and his insight is valuable. Enjoy!Brad McEntire is a playwright, solo performer, and stage director. He is the author of more than a dozen plays, including Que Sera Giant Monster, I Brought Home a Chupacabra, Dinosaur and Robot Stop a Train, Raspberry Fizz, Langdon the Seasonal Barista, I Have Angered a Great God and The Yeti in the Airport Lounge among others. He is a satellite member of The Playwrights' Center and studied playwriting with Will Power as part of the Dallas Playwrights Workshop at Southern Methodist University. He has toured his original one-person shows Cyrano A-Go-Go, Chop, Robert's Eternal Goldfish and The Beast of Hyperborea performing in venues and festivals all over North America. Since 2008 he has served as artistic director of the small-batch theatre company Audacity Theatre Lab, and in 2015, McEntire served as the first theatre-artist-in-residence at the Kathy George Indie Artist Residency in Ashford, Oregon.

Episode #151: Fresh off the whirlwind of a 16-day spring break adventure with my kids, I've emerged with a treasure trove of travel insights that promise to transform your family vacation experiences. Picture this: a last-minute decision to head to the JW Marriott Desert Springs in Phoenix, a hotel that came highly recommended by a friend. In navigating the chaos of high-season travel and family logistics, I've discovered that sometimes, cutting a trip short can actually enhance the joy and leave everyone wanting more. My years of globetrotting as a management consultant have truly shaped my approach to making family travel less about stress and more about seamless fun. Our stay at the luxury hotel was a blend of opulence and a few quirky setbacks. Imagine arriving at a vast multi-wing property, only to be greeted by the scent of smoke and a missing concierge. Yet, the allure of an upgraded suite and the joy it brought to my family of five quickly overshadowed these hiccups. With a lazy river and several pools, the hotel was a haven for our kids, even as we tackled the challenges of managing a toddler who needed floaties. From mastering the art of carrying large rafts on water slides to embracing the minor logistics of kid-friendly travel, there was plenty of fun to be had and stories to share. This episode is more than just tales of poolside escapades. Join me as I recount memorable moments like a spontaneous airport lounge upgrade and a kind stranger's compliment that moved me to tears. From unexpected adventures with a double ear infection to humorous encounters in airport lounges, this trip was a tapestry of family fun and learning. As we wrap up, I'm thrilled to introduce new segments focused on delivering consistent and engaging content, and I'm incredibly grateful for your support on this journey.

Airport lounges in the U.S. are expanding, prompting operators to restore exclusivity, with JetBlue setting strict entry rules for its first-ever lounges at JFK and Boston, while co-branded credit card lounges like Chase's Sapphire Lounge offer premium experiences. Travel tech firm TravelPerk raised $200 million to enhance its platform with expense management tools, expand in the U.S., and integrate more AI-driven solutions.

Amanda Mull, former Atlantic staff writer and explainer of all things consumer culture, tells the curious history behind the airport lounge and why—even if you never set foot in one—you're still paying for them.

This podcast covers New Girl Season 4, Episode 11, LAXmas, which originally aired on December 9, 2014 and was written by Matt Fusfeld & Alex Cuthbertson and directed by Trent O'Donnell. Here's a quick recap of the episode:In this episode, Jess, Nick, Winston, Schmidt, Cece, and Coach are traveling for Christmas despite doubts and setbacks.This episode got an 8/10 rating from both Kritika and Kelly; Kritika's favorite character was Schmidt and Kelly's favorite was Nick.While not discussed in the podcast, we noted other references in this episode including:Santa - The opening play blamed Santa for eating “Gingy's” arm. Additionally, Jess thought the man at the bar with the white beard was Santa. We talked about Santa for our Pop Culture reference on our podcast in S2 E11 - Santa.Annie - When Jess is pleading with Barry for plane tickets, Barry says he sarcastically says, “Oh, I didn't know that [it was Christmas]. I thought they just did a black version of Annie for no reason.”HBO GO - Schmidt proposed to Cece that they should wait in the first-class lounge, “like the other HBO GO subscribers.”Oprah Winfrey - Barry quoted Oprah Winfrey in this episode, saying: "Greatest discovery of all time is that a person can change his future by merely changing his attitude."McDuck - Nick thought Ryan's family had “McDuck money” based on the picture of his house in England.Downton Abbey / Anna and Mr. Bates - When looking at the picture of Ryan's house the gang asked where the characters from Downton Abbey were and if they had seen the show.Scrubs - When Jess and Barry were talking at the bar, Barry said meeting his ex-boyfriend's family over the holidays was worse than the last season of Scrubs.Billy Joel / "Piano Man" / "Goodnight Saigon" - When Schmidt was recounting to the guy in the lounge that he was from Long Island, and not Manhattan, he exclaimed aspects of Long Island culture, including Billy Joel and some of his songs.Paul Dano - Barry shared that he thought Paul Dano was on Nick and Winston's flight where they got first class seats.Daniel Craig - When Schmidt shared to Cece that the guy in the lounge disrespected something more important to him than “any stupid lounge”, Cece questioned if it was  Daniel Craig's tailoring.Thanks for listening and stay tuned for Episode 12!

Credit card companies, in their rush to sell more and more cards use a whole gamut of attractive offers—the most popular one being free access to airport lounges.

Dan also holds a Master's degree in Vision Rehabilitation Therapy (VRT), which helps to teach adaptive life skills to those dealing with vision loss. Keep Pushing is a non-profit that combines Dan's two passions by introducing the blind/visually impaired (VI) community to the inclusive culture of skateboarding. Through his own journey with vision loss, Dan has found the lack of accessibility in current skateparks.The goal of his foundation is to build the first fully adaptive skatepark and to host skateboard workshops for the blind and VI using what he has learned on the skateboard and through his VRT training. Dan has teamed up with an experienced skatepark design company, New Line. Using New Line's design expertise and Dan's knowledge of adaptive skating to create the safest and most accessible skate park ever!Using adaptive methods, such as increasing the size of obstacles, adding contrast to obstacles, tactile ground, auditory cues for echolocation, 3-D models, and a spacious layout. Once the facility is built Dan plans to host monthly skate workshops and skateboard lessons for local youth/adults who are blind and VI, annual adaptive contests to help push for skateboarding the Paralympics, as well as use park adaptations to influence future public skateparks.  Donate to Keep Pushing Adaptive Skatepark ► https://fundrazr.com/f1zZbe?ref=ab_6VqfaF2Sm6X6VqfaF2Sm6X 0:00- intro0:55 - Florida lots of money03:53 - shout out to Papo the Plumber05:15 - fire department encounter10:39 - asking for help11:19 - airport lounge12:06 - fire again13:57 - YouTube recognition14:55 - Anthony band story19:22 - willie nelson story22:55 - poop on a roof24:49 - Anthony concussion still bothering him29:53 - the feeling of close31:25 - wishing to do our own thing blind36:51 - the internet40:16 - Happy birthday John Baron + our skateboard set ups53:00 - snowboarding blind57:47 - dana white wife slap59:19 - one love keep pushing until next time Podcast Intro & Outro done by Pete Gustin the Blind Surfer find out more at ► https://www.petegustin.com

On a recent trip, I flew out of Sacramento International Airport in the Capitol city of California. The lounge options are limited there with no Centurion, Delta, United, or American lounges. Likewise, Priority Pass has no affiliate lounges in Sacramento. The only two lounge options are two Escape Lounges, Centurion Studio Partners, located in terminals A and B.

During the pandemic many travel addicts like myself were suffering from serious withdrawal symptoms but as the saying goes, an addict will always find a way... In the fall of 2020 an app called Clubhouse was founded, a place where people could meet and talk in different virtual rooms. Klaus Derendorf knew what his tribe was missing, he knew that an airport lounge is what we needed and he created a room called THE INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT LOUNGE which is a very special place where people from all over the world meet and engage in stimulating conversations about travel, the world and humanity. No politics or pitching of any kind of product or service is allowed. I used to wake up in the morning, open my app and start talking to people from all over the world imagining that I was in Los Angeles or Sydney or Hongkong and not in my PJs on my sofa in Limassol. We talked about culture and countries and so many stories were told and friendships were formed; after the pandemic people started meeting each other in person.Of course Klaus Derendorf is so much more than the founder of a Clubhouse room. He has 20+ year track record in global media, tech & venture financing with high level professional relationships in banking, family offices and VC. He is an experienced company director, business developer & investor with strong EQ, technology, marketing, analytics and management skills as well as a forward thinking growth driver & team builder. He is passionate about discovering, supporting and building the next game changing platforms, services and products with incredible teams. People over product. ESG & sustainability metrics matter.He has a trilingual multi-cultural background and education with extensive business experience in English, Spanish & German across the Americas, Europe, Australia and Asia. He is a former award winning music producer and company founder with sales in excess of 20 Million units including six number 1 albums and singles. Producer on international talent TV shows X Factor, The Voice & Got Talent and he served on the Board of the Los Angeles Chapter of the Recording Academy (Grammys). Soccer and Formula 1 fan.His latest venture is being Head of Web3 Operations at Creative House
