Sean speaks to The Wild Bohemian that is musician Malcolm Hill. They speak of War and Peace, VHS tapes and Demis Roussos, among other things. Strap yourself in. Sean starts the show with a poem called If We Could Have Flown. This poem was originally commissioned for Dear Everybody Collective curated by Melody Paloma. Sean was asked to write a series of poems in response to works by video artist WWZARD6. Sean and Malcolm have a chat about the launch of his new single 'Cosmic Love'. Then Malcolm performs a very special cover of this classic 1973 banger in response to a creative prompt supplied by Rowan White. His prompt was "Demis Roussos not only predicted #auspol 's 2018 climate & energy debates with his 1973 hit 'my friend the wind', he resolved them. Discuss." We didn't exactly do that but it did prompt some discussion about the eternal smiles that Demis inspires. And then Malcolm reads a piece especially written for the show inspired by a prompt from Meena Shamaly - "A poem constructed from the titles of books published in 1865. (Or any specific year of your choosing)." Malcolm explores this prompt by reading a piece inspired by War and Peace, published in 1865. Sean also remembers the art of book spine poetry. Malcolm performs once more with an original song called Mabel's Table in response tothe photo posted by Mileta Rien of a street sign saying 'Kiss and goodbye. No kisses above 3 mins.' (See on the More Than A Whelan Instagram feed.) Sean answers the More Than a Whelan challenge with a poem written in response to four prompts posted on the MTAW Facebook page by Rose, Lisa, Kadtie and Sean himself! Malcolm accompanies Sean with some improvised strumming. Prompt 1 by Rose: Artificial tv set light is currently shining in my eyes. Hiding in the corner - crew life. I am working but inside my head I am learning lyrics, running through my to do list...juggling my next 5 days of multitasking. I also just made an 11.11am wish with the lady from wardrobe. I'm not sharing my wish otherwise it won't come true. Peace. Prompt 2 by Kadtie: You have never seen your own face. Only reflections and photos. Prompt 3 by Lisa: The way you say my name. Prompt 4 by Sean: this skip of VHS tapes found on his street. Sean closes the show with a World of Whelan update. Sean will be performing on November 1st at the Alex Theatre in St Kilda for Cafe Philosophique De La Mort.

Fifteen years ago, Australia was introduced to a cheeky Melbourne-born singer with a true-blue nickname and dimples out the wazoo. Rob Mills - or Millsy, as he's better known - was a breakout star of Australian Idol in its first season, arriving at it after years of slugging it out in pubs and singing to anyone who would listen. In 2018, Mills still keeps as busy as he ever has. Though he's gotten out of the pop game, he's an active theatre performer and current Neighbours supervillain. Presently starring in Puffs, the barely-legal play concerning the universe of a particular boy wizard, this chat takes place in the foyer of the Alex Theatre in St. Kilda. Millsy bares all on his inspiration, his reinvention and his traversing of mediums. Falling short of his one night in Paris, it's a tell-all.Puffs is running at the Alex Theatre in St. Kilda until July 9.

Sen. Al Franken in conversation with Chelsea Handler at Live Talks Los Angeles, July 8, 2017, discussing his memoir, "Al Franken, Giant of the Senate." For more information on Live Talks Los Angeles -- upcoming events, videos and podcast -- visit www.livetalksla.org.  The talk took place at the Alex Theatre in Glendale, CA. Senator Al Franken has represented Minnesota in the United States Senate since 2009. He was first elected in 2008 and re-elected in 2014.  Al Franken, Giant of the Senate, by Al Franken is the story of an award-winning comedian who decided to run for office and then discovered why award-winning comedians tend not to do that. It’s about an unlikely campaign that had an even more improbable ending: the closest outcome in history and an unprecedented eight-month recount saga, which is pretty funny in retrospect. In this candid personal memoir, the honorable gentleman from Minnesota takes his army of loyal fans along with him from Saturday Night Live to the campaign trail, inside the halls of Congress, and behind the scenes of some of the most dramatic and/or hilarious moments of his new career in politics. It’s a book about what happens when the nation’s foremost progressive satirist gets a chance to serve in the United States Senate and, defying the low expectations of the pundit class, actually turns out to be good at it. It’s a book about our deeply polarized, frequently depressing, occasionally inspiring political culture, written from inside the belly of the beast. Before entering politics, Al spent 37 years as an award-winning comedy writer, author, and radio talk show host and has taken part in seven USO tours, visiting our troops overseas in Germany, Bosnia, Kosovo, Uzbekistan, Iraq, Afghanistan, and Kuwait. He’s been married to his wife, Franni, for 41 years-many of them happy. They have two children, Thomasin and Joe, and three grandchildren. Senator Franken graduated from Harvard College. Has Al Franken become a true Giant of the Senate? Franken asks readers to decide for themselves. Visit his Senate website.  More about Al Franken on his website. Chelsea Handler is host of “Chelsea” on a Netflix, a global on-demand talk show with segments from around the world that tapes in front of a live audience in Los Angeles. It features conversations with celebrities, dignitaries, and surprise guests on topics like international cultures, alternative lifestyles, education, health, sports, parenting, politics, and more.   Prior to that she hosted E!’s top rated “Chelsea Lately” for eight years.   Handler’s five best-selling books include My Horizontal Life, Are You There, Vodka? It’s Me, Chelsea, Chelsea Chelsea Bang Bang, Lies That Chelsea Handler Told Me, and 2014’s Uganda Be Killing Me, her fourth nonfiction title to debut at No. 1 on The New York Times best-seller list.  

Episode 09: Holy Week Welcome to the SherwinM Podcast. A podcast about the adventures of being Filipino American. I am your host Sherwin. In this episode, I share our trip to Glendale, at the Alex Theatre, to watch Coco Martin and the Fantastik 4. We had a great time. It was a variety show that included some singing, story telling, and comedy. There were a few things I didn't understand, that Abby had to explain to me. Holy Week is a week that leads to Easter. Many schools and businesses close this week. Radio and television programs are halted and replaced by religious themed programming. The days leading to Easter are called. Maundy Thursday (Huwebes Santo) Good Friday (Biyernes Santo) Holy Saturday (Sabado de Gloria) Easter Sunday (Linggo ng Pagkabuhay) Bisita Iglesia is practiced on Thursday or Friday where people would visit seven different churches and do the Stations of the Cross. On Sabado de Gloria (Holy Saturday), many have picnics and go to the beach. Others will get circumcision or pagtutuli. On Easter Sunday, there are processions (parade) called Salubong (welcoming) of Jesus. Tagalog Words Bisita Iglesia - church visit Pagtutuli - circumcision Salubong - to welcome Albularyo - herb doctor, "quack" doctor The show notes of this episode can be found at http://podcast.sherwinm.com/9.
