Podcast appearances and mentions of Alicia Keys

In this episode of Black and Snerdy, Ode (@thatsod.e / @thatsod_e) and Mo "Kid" Licorish (@licorishislegit) dive straight into the Knicks' wild Finals run against the Spurs, reacting to the twenty-nine-point comeback, the chaos around Madison Square Garden, Taylor Swift's courtside cameo, and the larger conversation about who gets priced out of big sports moments. They turn that adrenaline into a bigger debate about fandom, New York pride, and celebrity culture. The episode then shifts into a heated breakdown of Time Magazine naming LeBron James Athlete of the Century, with other athletes entering the argument. What starts as a sports headline quickly becomes a larger conversation about legacy, impact, politics, motherhood, and what greatness is supposed to mean.The second half moves into Broadway and pop culture with a deep discussion on the 2026 Tony Awards, including Pink's hosting gig, Megan Thee Stallion's headline-stealing appearance, the response to her Moulin Rouge run, and the Patti LuPone backlash connected to Alicia Keys' Hell's Kitchen. They celebrate Queen Jean's historic Tony win, Queen Latifah's Chicago tribute with Alex Newell, and Mikel Suleiman's milestone in sound design while also calling out the gatekeeping that still shapes Broadway. The tone sharpens again with a direct response to Boosie Badazz's anti-trans pool party comments and a sobering conversation about Cyrus Carmack Belton and Karmelo Anthony.

Music documentaries are a major part of the festival circuit, but this year at Tribeca, they're becoming something bigger: live events, legacy projects and cinematic extensions of the artists themselves. The festival opened with Questlove's new Earth, Wind & Fire documentary, followed by a performance from the legendary band and The Roots. Other music films and events this year center on Alicia Keys, Madonna, Peter Frampton, Katy Perry, Daft Punk and more. USA TODAY National Music Reporter Melissa Ruggieri joins The Excerpt to talk about why music films are having a moment, what separates a great one from a celebrity vanity project and how artists are using documentaries and concert films to reach audiences in new ways.Let us know what you think of this episode by sending an email to podcasts@usatoday.com.

Episode 382: MANNY MARROQUIN “The Famed Mixing Engineer Who Crafted Classics for Kanye, John Mayer and Alicia Keys” The Road Podcast crew is in LA for the NAMM show and have a sit down with multi-Grammy Award-winning mixing engineer @MannyMarroquin whose career spans over two decades, defining the sonic landscape for artists like @KanyeWest, @AliciaKeys, and @JohnMayer. Manny joined the @ROADpodcast to break down the delicate balance between technical precision and emotional resonance in modern mixing. Starting with the core distinctions between engineers and producers, Manny explains his "emotion over technicality" philosophy (04:05) and the "Batman and Robin" approach to song structure (09:00). He provides an inside look at legendary sessions, discussing the ego free mindset required for 808s & Heartbreak (11:15), the "a-ha" moment of "Love Lockdown" (18:32), and the grueling 20-mix saga behind “Stronger." The conversation shifts to the synesthesia of sound, where Manny compares audio engineering to the brushstrokes of Renoir and Picasso (23:30), and explains his process of turning his chair away from the monitors to find objectivity. After diving into the mechanics of club records like "Let Me Love You" (35:50) and the future of music trends in 2026, he discusses the "less is more" choice for @JohnMayer's "Gravity" (55:55). The episode concludes with his venture into the culinary world with @Verse.LA (1:13:01) and a reflective look at his journey from Guatemala (1:26:01).

KPFA Theatre Critic Richard Wolinsky reviews the national touring company production of  “Hell's Kitchen” at the Orpheum Theater in San Francisco.           FULL TEXT: Following the release of her debut album in 2001, Songs in A Minor, singer songwriter Alicia Keys became an instant superstar, a position firmed up by a series of successful albums and Grammy Awards over the course of the next decade. So it is not surprising that a jukebox musical would at some point emerge. And thus we have Hells Kitchen, which runs at the Orpheum Theatre through May 24th. Most jukebox shows fall into two categories: a history of the performer's career, with the songbook performed in the order the songs were recorded, with occasional numbers shoehorned into the story, or an original story retconned to make the songs fit the plot. Hells Kitchen presents new songs and shoehorned ones in a sanitized autobiography. The show focuses on Alicia Keys' life at the age of seventeen, as she and her single mom reside in a high-rise inthe gentrifying neighborhood west of Times Square. She fights with her mom over an older boy and winds up learning piano from an elderly woman living in the building's public room. The low stakes — who didn't fight with their parents at that age? means there's minimal forward movement. Despite the piano lessons, we never learn of Ali's talent, nor her ambitions. The songs themselves, well it's hard to follow lyrics distorted by melisma and drowned out by orchestration. The reconstructed old songs are unrecognizable, and the new ones have no center. Many songs start small and turn into a cacophany, with random dancers performing aerobics disguised as choreography. This may work at a Demi Lovato concert, or a Warriors Halftime Show, but doesn't quite fly inside a stage musical. There are pleasures, most notably in the work of Kennedy Caughell as Jersey, Ali's mother, Desmond Sean Elliott as Davis, Ali's dad, and most notably, Roz White as Miss Liza Jane, the pianist who teaches Ali how to be a musician. And while Alicia Keys isn't there to perform them, her songs all work within her own specific musical ballpark. It's Alicia Keys without Alicia Keys, one supposes. Ultimately, none of the complaints matter. The show ran two years on Broadway, over 750 performances. Costing 22 million dollars to produce, the show made back only 60% of its capitalization. This tour is an attempt to make up the difference, and judging by the ovation opening night at the Orpheum, it just might. Hells Kitchen runs at the Orpheum through May 24th.

Between her time as the frontwoman for 4 Non Blondes, her legendary songwriting catalog (for Christina Aguilera, P!nk, Gwen Stefani, Alicia Keys and more), her own solo career, and her outspoken activism, Linda Perry has already lived countless lives in the public eye. But the new documentary Linda Perry: Let It Die Here peels back brand-new layers to the musical firebrand, from being a mom to 9-year-old Rhodes to losing her own mother just after the singer/songwriter was diagnosed with breast cancer and underwent a double mastectomy. In addition to the film -- which premiered at the 2024 Tribeca Film Festival and is now in select theaters -- Perry also released the album Let It Die Here on Friday, her first solo album in more than a decade. When Perry sat down with the Billboard Pop Shop Podcast in March, she explained that the film and album were both a bit unexpected, with the documentary emerging from director Dan Hardy asking if he could shadow her in the studio and the album sort of pouring out from there.

Grammy nominated songwriter Pynk Beard (aka Sebastian Kole) chats about his extensive work as a behind-the-scenes pop creator and gives us insight into his latest country-flavored album project.  PART ONE Scott and Paul chat about their recent travels and how they find ways to make music tourism a part of any trip. PART TWO Our in-depth conversation with Pynk BeardABOUT PYNK BEARD: Pynk Beard is the artistic persona of Alabama-born Coleridge Tillman, who has already made a splash as a successful songwriter under the name Sebastian Kole. Growing up as a preacher's son in Birmingham Alabama, Pynk Beard's big break came when he contributed to “Goin' In,” which was recorded by Jennifer Lopez, featuring Flo Rida. He then signed with Motown Records as an artist and began collaborating as a writer and producer with Alessia Cara. He worked on most every track on her debut album Know-It-All, including the top 10 and multi-platinum pop hits “Here” and “Scars to Your Beautiful.” Soon after, he released his debut album as Sebastian Kole, a gospel and R&B influenced project called Soup. He continued working as a behind-the-scenes writer on songs such as “Bridges” by Fifth Harmony, “Freedom Rings” by Brandy, “Actions” by John Legend, “Time Machine” by Alicia Keys, and “Angel” by Halle Bailey, which found him collaborating with producer Neff-U and earning a Grammy nomination for Best R&B Song. His debut EP as Pynk Beard is Red Dirt Diaries, which was released in October of 2025 on Red Bull Records. A country project that embraces elements of gospel, R&B and hip hop, it's a bold new artistic direction that has quickly gained attention from fans of multiple genres.    Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Interview Date: April 12th, 2026Episode SummaryIn this episode of The Business of Dance Podcast, Alicia Mae Holloway shares her extraordinary journey from a small-town competition dancer in West Virginia to building a multifaceted career in ballet, commercial dance, modeling, acting, and social media. She reflects on knowing from the age of three that dance was her purpose, and how that conviction led her to leave home at just 13 years old to pursue elite ballet training. From earning a full scholarship to the School of American Ballet to landing her first professional contracts, Alicia's story is one of deep faith, resilience, and bold commitment to her dreams.Alicia also opens up about the realities of a long professional career: painful auditions, injuries, rejection, career pivots, and the mental challenges that dancers face when their identity is tied so closely to performance. She shares how Dance Theatre of Harlem shaped her artistry, how social media unexpectedly expanded her career, and why authenticity matters more than perfection in today's entertainment world. Her advice to young dancers is both practical and inspiring: stay true to yourself, embrace being multidimensional, and remember that rejection is often redirection.Top 10 Show Notes3:58 — Alicia knew dance was her calling6:17 — West Virginia scholarship changed everything9:35 — Moved away from home at 1414:21 — Worst audition led to first contract19:49 — Six-hour audition booked Dance Theatre Harlem21:17 — Mentor predicted her DTH future27:40 — TikTok consistency sparked massive growth35:45 — Talent plus visibility creates more opportunities57:05 — Rejection is redirection, not the end1:09:14 — Dance for yourself, not approvalBiography:Alicia Mae Holloway is from Morgantown, West Virginia and began dancing when she was three years old at Kat and Company Dance Studio.

On the Saturday April 11, 2026 edition of The Richard Crouse Show we meet JUNO award-winner Meghan Patrick. Her bold honesty and powerhouse presence has made her one of country music’s most compelling voices. Her 2026 JUNO nomination for Country Album of the Year for “Golden Child” marks another major milestone for the Ontario native, who now lives in Nashville, in a career built on authenticity, critical acclaim, and growing international impact. “Golden Child” is Patrick’s most personal work to date - an 18-track project rooted in self-reflection, growth, and emotional honesty. Anchored by a breakout title track that became one of the most successful releases of her career, the album has helped propel her beyond Canadian borders and into a new chapter of global recognition. Then, we get to know Andy Hines, a Canadian filmmaker from Nova Scotia, whose feature film debut Little Lorraine is in theatres on April 17. The son of photographer Sherman Hines, began his career as a music video director, creating videos for artists such as Alicia Keys, Keith Urban, Jason Derulo, Lizzo, Coldplay, Matthew Good and many others. He’s a Grammy nominee and his video for Big Sean's "One Man Can Change the World" was the winner of a MTV Music Video Award for Best Video with a Social Message. Today we’re talking about his directorial feature film debut. “Little Lorraine” tells the true story of a group of coal miners in Little Lorraine, Cape Breton who lose their jobs after a mining accident. Seeking new livelihoods, they join an uncle on his lobster fishing boat, only to discover the boat is part of a larger cocaine smuggling ring. As the operation expands, involving funeral homes and caskets, the friends find themselves in too deep. The film explores themes of family, loyalty, and the consequences of getting involved in criminal activity, all against the backdrop of a close-knit community facing an extraordinary crisis.

The son of photographer Sherman Hines, began his career as a music video director, creating videos for artists such as Alicia Keys, Keith Urban, Jason Derulo, Lizzo, Coldplay, Matthew Good and many others. He's a Grammy nominee and his video for Big Sean's "One Man Can Change the World" was the winner of a MTV Music Video Award for Best Video with a Social Message. Today we're talking about his directorial feature film debut. “Little Lorraine” tells the true story of a group of coal miners in Little Lorraine, Cape Breton who lose their jobs after a mining accident. Seeking new livelihoods, they join an uncle on his lobster fishing boat, only to discover the boat is part of a larger cocaine smuggling ring. As the operation expands, involving funeral homes and caskets, the friends find themselves in too deep. The film explores themes of family, loyalty, and the consequences of getting involved in criminal activity, all against the backdrop of a close-knit community facing an extraordinary crisis.

Det här är berättelsen om pluggisen som gifte samman pop och klassisk musik och som visade världen var pianot ska stå. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radios app. Runt om i USA samlas familjer framför tv-apparaterna för att titta på Oprah Winfreys dagliga talkshow – ett världens mest sedda tv-program. Men i dag, den 21 juni 2001, ska publiken få se något de aldrig har sett i programmet förut.På scenen vid en stor blank flygel sitter en 20-årig tjej. Alicia Keys debutalbum har släppts bara några veckor tidigare, men för de allra flesta är hon ett helt okänt namn.Alicias Keys långa svarta hår är flätat i cornrows och hon är klädd i en svart kostym och höga klackar. Oprah har bjudit in henne och två andra unga lovande artister, alla afroamerikanska kvinnor i neo-soul genren. Men när Alicias fingrarna börjar röra sig över tangenterna är det varken R&B, soul eller hiphop som strömmar ut.Den i vanliga fall så snackiga studiopubliken sitter knäpptyst. Alicia ler självsäkert när det klassiska musikstycket når sitt crescendo. Men så plötsligt förändras något. Ett beat börjar slå.Publiken har ingen aning om att den här tjejen, med rösten och pianofingrarna, kommer att få smeknamnet “soulprinsessan”, att låten hon sjunger kommer förbjudas i talangjakter världen över. Men kanske börjar vissa av dem ana att Alicia Keys och hennes piano är redo för stordåd.Medverkande: Michelle Hallström, Margaret Pine och Adriane Mason.Programmet gjordes av Miranda Wretman vintern 2026Producent och programledare Siri HillExekutiv producent Anna JohannessenSlutmix Fredrik NilssonP3 Musikdokumentär produceras av Tredje Statsmakten MediaLjudklippen i programmet kommer från Oprah Winfrey Show (2001), The Drew Barrymore Show (2025), Grammy Awards (2002, 2005), 60 Minutes Australia (2008, 2013), The Voice (2016, 2017), Super Bowl (2024) och The Tony Awards (2024), samt Youtubekontona Alicia Keys (2021), Halidonmusic (2021), Dario Ronchi (2017), Miriam Cortés (2013), Alicia Keys Chile & World (2020), Marc Scarpa (2012), Big D And Bubba (2024), By Any Screen Necessary (2024), R&B Only (2024), Rozette (2024) och The Ceeman (2025).

In this episode of Gig Gab, you get the full story of how Kevin “KG” Glendinning cold-emailed his way from a Chicago suburb into a 25-year career mixing monitors for Alicia Keys, Maroon 5, Justin Timberlake, Miley Cyrus, Lorde, and more. You hear how a kid sweeping floors at dB Sound ended up on a Metallica tour bus with one piece of advice ringing in his ears: ask questions, stay late, and get a second job because you’re gonna need it. Kevin walks you through migrating artists to in-ear monitors, managing talkback culture for everyone from Eddie Vedder wanting baseball scores to Lorde’s tight production team, and what it takes to help reluctant guitar players finally ditch the wedges. If you’ve ever wondered what separates a good monitor engineer from a great one, this conversation lays it out. You also dive deep into the art and science of making IEMs sound right in every room, every night. Kevin shares his process of minimal reduction: fixing a bad mix by figuring out what to take away, not what to add, and explains why tuning for in-ears is just as critical as tuning a PA. You learn why he flies 4,700 miles for a single gig, why the best mixes sometimes come from a throw-and-go, and how setting up dummy channels lets you experiment without wrecking the artist’s mix. He and Dave talk hearing health, audiograms, the DPA capsule as the only open mic on the Lorde stage, and why knowing your own ears matters more than knowing your gear. Whether you’re mixing monitors at an arena or running sound at a club gig, this episode is packed with wisdom you can use tonight.

Soucieuse de continuer à apparaître comme une grande puissance, la Russie a réinvesti le continent africain depuis plusieurs années. Elle s'appuie sur un narratif reprenant celui de l'ancienne Union soviétique. Mais derrière les promesses de fraternité sans frontières, de partage de connaissances et de richesses, se trouvent d'autres objectifs moins avouables, comme le recrutement de combattants pour sa stratégie de chair à canon en Ukraine. Ces dernières années, le soft power, ou l'influence russe, s'est développé et transformé. C'est un studio de musique d'Abidjan où se tient un concours de chant discret, auquel assiste notre correspondant Benoit Almeras. On chante en anglais et en français, Alicia Keys, Garou, Lara Fabbian… Mais pour les candidats, l'horizon n'est pas New York ou Paris, c'est Moscou. L'enjeu de ce casting vocal : une participation au festival « La route de Yalta ». Organisé pour la première fois en 2019 dans cette station balnéaire de Crimée occupée, bien connue des amateurs d'histoire, il a désormais lieu au Kremlin, dans la capitale. On y célèbre les classiques russes et la « Grande guerre patriotique », comprendre la Seconde guerre mondiale. Une époque très lointaine pour ces candidats, jeunes et plus attirés par le voyage et la recherche de notoriété. Un des participants explique sa présence par « le fait que ce soit en Russie, un pays que je n'ai jamais imaginé découvrir. Ce serait aussi un tremplin pour moi et j'espère aussi que mon pays va reconnaître mon talent ». Pour voir Moscou, certains veulent se donner toutes les chances, comme ce candidat qui pousse l'hymne russe a capella. Lors de l'édition 2025, c'est un artiste ivoirien qui a représenté l'Afrique, et pas n'importe lequel : Emmanuel Désiré Boyer dit « Vova », vainqueur de l'édition 2024 de « The Voice Afrique Francophone ». À « La route de Yalta », il a été récompensé du prix du public pour Katyusha, chant patriotique de l'Armée Rouge, interprété en langue dioula. À l'origine de la participation de Vova, et de ce casting, Eben-Ezer Dion, coach vocal pour The Voice Afrique francophone. Ses liens avec la Russie remontent à plus de 20 ans : « J'ai étudié en Russie, je suis allé là-bas pour des études en musique, à l'Académie Gnessine, qui est une académie très prestigieuse là-bas. C'est après ça que je suis rentré au pays, et voici que je prends des initiatives pour faire avancer la musique en Côte d'Ivoire. Si vous voulez, c'est un prolongement, une manière de contribuer à l'action culturelle de la Russie dans l'Afrique francophone. C'est ce qu'on essaie de faire en partenariat avec l'association. » Festival de chants pour soutenir l'annexion forcée de la Crimée Cette association, c'est l'Aruci, Association des russophones de Côte d'Ivoire, créée en 2021. Sa présidente, Tatiana Rakitina assure qu'elle ne fait pas de politique : « Pour nous, c'est plutôt une opportunité pour la Côte d'Ivoire de sortir à l'étranger, de conquérir de nouveaux spectateurs. C'est plutôt un événement professionnel des amateurs de musique plus qu'un événement idéologique. » Pourtant, le festival de Yalta vise aussi à faire reconnaître la souveraineté russe sur la péninsule de Crimée, annexée de force par la Russie en 2014. Mais pour Tatiana Rakitina, comme pour le gouvernement de Moscou qui dénonce souvent la « russophobie » occidentale, c'est bien l'image de la Russie qui est attaquée. Bien qu'en Afrique, elle demeure positive selon elle : « Je peux vous dire que le visage de la Russie était bien brillant et souriant il y a quelques années. Maintenant, il y a dans certains pays une tendance à vouloir éliminer la culture russe ou diminuer sa valeur. Mais pas en Afrique. L'Afrique n'a jamais changé [envers la Russie]. » L'Aruci est aussi une organisation partenaire des Maisons russes. Officiellement des centres culturels, elles ont essaimé sur le continent, selon Lou Osborne, investigatrice du groupe All Eyes on Wagner : « On a vu une accélération de la diplomatie culturelle depuis 2024, avec une multiplication de l'ouverture de ces centres. Leur modèle est novateur : l'État russe ne peut aller aussi vite qu'il le voudrait, donc il a délégué une partie de ces ouvertures et de la gestion à des sociétés non-étatiques, ça leur permet d'aller plus vite. On remarque que c'est notamment là que se passe la partie la plus offensive du soft power, on dépasse la promotion de Pouchkine et de la langue russe. » La diplomatie culturelle russe a une tête de pont, c'est la Rossotrudnichestvo, un organisme officiel du ministère des Affaires étrangères russes, dirigé par Evgueni Primakov Junior, un très proche de Vladimir Poutine. C'est là notamment que se gèrent les bourses pour les étudiants africains, explique le chercheur sénégalais Ibrahima Dabo, lui-même passé par une université russe : « C'est à partir des années 2000 que la Russie a commencé à avoir des intérêts sur le continent africain. Dans ce contexte, des outils de l'époque soviétique ont été réadaptés. Rossotrudnichestvo a été créée en 2008 par un décret du président Dmitri Medvedev, mais c'est l'héritière d'une agence née en 1925 autour de la sœur de Léon Trotski. Cette agence est au cœur aujourd'hui des actions culturelles et humanitaires sur le continent, elle travaille avec des associations locales, notamment des réseaux d'anciens étudiants. La diplomatie éducative est devenue très importante. Rossotrudnichestvo gère les bourses d'étude, ce qui permet de développer son influence, et de donner une image d'ouverture, de montrer une bonne image de la Russie, des conditions d'accueil, de la qualité de l'enseignement. » Moscou a accéléré ses opportunités pour des milliers d'étudiants africains. Au Sénégal par exemple, on est passé de moins de 20 à 130 bourses en quelques années, selon Ibrahima Drabo. Saint-Valentin à la Maison russe, relais médiatiques et influenceurs Derrière Rossotrudnichestvo, certaines Maisons russes ont été montées comme des « franchises » dans l'écosystème Wagner, comme à Bangui, en Centrafrique, dont les canaux de communication multiplient les images d'enfants et de jeunes épanouis, devant des documentaires officiels russes, des films d'action à la gloire du groupe paramilitaire russe, durant des cours de russe, ou encore dernièrement lors d'une grande fête en chanson pour la Saint-Valentin. Son directeur, Dimitri Sityi, est conseiller du président centrafricain Faustin-Archange Touadéra, gestionnaire d'entreprises qui extraient or, diamant et bois, et à la manœuvre de multiples campagnes informationnelles anti-françaises, anti-américaines ou anti-Nations Unies. À Bangui, la Maison russe est devenue un lieu de socialisation, notamment pour des jeunes de milieu peu favorisés. On y fête Noël, on y candidate au championnat de slam, on y trouve aussi à prix modique les sachets d'alcool produits localement par Wagner. À lire aussiPlongée dans la machine de désinformation russe en Centrafrique   Avec les médias comme Russia Today, de plus en plus présents sur le continent (Éthiopie, Sénégal), ou des organisations satellites comme Afrique média ou la radio Lengo songo en Centrafrique, ces centres culturels servent à véhiculer l'image d'une Russie ouverte, bienveillante, à l'opposé d'une Europe présentée comme décadente et xénophobe, voir tout simplement nazie. Un récit repris par un nombre grandissant d'influenceurs africains installés en Russie, valorisés par les algorithmes des réseaux sociaux, comme « l'Ivoirorusse ». « La Russie, c'est bien, j'exhorte tout le monde a visité la grande Russie de Poutine. C'est une très grande expérience », dit-il à ces plusieurs centaines de milliers de suiveurs sur TikTok, se félicitant de « commencer à oublier des mots de français ». Coiffé de sa chapka, « l'Ivoirorusse » est aussi un des promoteurs du programme Alabuga start qui permet officiellement à des jeunes femmes d'obtenir des formations et des diplômes dans cette zone économique spéciale du Tatarstan. Plusieurs enquêtes ont montré une réalité bien différente, et des mécanismes de « traites d'êtres humains », selon l'ONU. Le nouvel écosystème russe met en valeur les coopérations académiques avec la Russie et des opportunités de recrutement, dont on sait qu'elles peuvent conduire des jeunes hommes sur le front en Ukraine, et des jeunes femmes dans des usines de drones. « Ces réseaux de recrutement sont une nouvelle facette du soft power, ça permet à la Russie de façonner l'image donnée dans ces pays-là », analyse Lou Osborne, de All Eyes On Wagner. « C'est une Russie d'opportunités, pour une meilleure vie. Il y a une industrialisation de l'influence russe, avec une multiplication de canaux, un effort total médiatique, culturel, et des services de sécurité, au service de cette influence », ajoute-t-elle. Avec l'Église orthodoxe, « l'alliance du missel et du missile » La Russie loue les vertus présentées comme patriotiques et familiales, qui seraient les siennes et que partageraient les Africains. Pour cela, quoi de mieux que de se placer sous l'autorité divine, via sa propre église, l'Église orthodoxe russe, autonome depuis le schisme consécutif à l'invasion de l'Ukraine, et qui n'hésite pas à mettre les moyens pour attirer les clercs. À écouter aussiCentrafrique: à Bangui, une église orthodoxe financée par la Russie   Comme au Cameroun, où Monseigneur Grégoire, métropolite orthodoxe grec, a vu avec surprise une église russe concurrente autorisée promptement par les autorités, quand lui a mis plus de cinq années à voir la sienne reconnue : « Ici, l'église russe n'a rien fait à part promettre à quelques prêtres de notre église qu'ils allaient leur donner de l'argent, plus que l'aide pastorale que nous distribuons chaque mois. Ils ont fait beaucoup de promesses : construire les églises, des écoles, donner des bourses aux prêtres, acheter des voitures. Mais jusque-là, ils n'ont rien fait à part louer une salle pour en faire une église. Ils ont envoyé quelques personnes à Moscou pour un séminaire de théologie, mais ils ont vu que le niveau de théologie et d'éducation est bien loin du niveau universitaire. Mais ils leur ont dit : "Ok, vous êtes prêts à rentrer en Afrique accomplir votre mission". Mais quel type de mission ? » Cette diplomatie religieuse n'est pas neutre, car l'église orthodoxe n'est pas une église comme une autre. Elle est étroitement imbriquée dans le pouvoir russe et le Kremlin, comme l'expliquait récemment sur RFI l'historien spécialiste du monde orthodoxe, Jean-François Colossimo : « C'est une progression opportuniste. Partout où il y a un clergé achetable, cette pseudo-église agit. Plus on monte dans la hiérarchie, plus elle est contaminée par le FSB [les services de renseignement russes, NDLR] et aux mains du Kremlin et de Poutine. L'Église russe n'a jamais été pensée comme une église internationale. Donc, si elle va en Afrique, c'est pour offrir le monde orthodoxe africain à Poutine. Ce sont eux qui bénissent la mère. L'Église bénie cette guerre, c'est l'alliance du missel et du missile. » À lire aussiCameroun: l'Église orthodoxe russe autorisée à exercer, un pas de plus de Moscou sur le continent   Selon des médias russes en exil, l'église orthodoxe du Kenya aurait participé au recrutement trompeur de combattants pour la guerre en Ukraine. Par ailleurs, plusieurs centaines de séminaristes seraient aujourd'hui en formation en Russie, selon une bonne source, qui parle de « projet à long terme » pour Moscou qui se voit comme « la troisième Rome ». Une montée du soft power russe que constate l'ambassadeur de l'Ukraine à Nairobi, Yurii Tokarx. « L'influence russe et les mesures qu'ils prennent sont très sérieuses et fortes. Il a récemment été publié que le budget de leur machine de propagande s'élevait à 1,5 milliard de dollars. Et, bien sûr, une grande partie de cette somme est destinée à l'Afrique », a-t-il affirmé à notre correspondante à Nairobi Albane Thirouard : « Cela s'accompagne d'opérations informationnelles très sophistiquées. Ils sont également présents sur les plateformes utilisées par les jeunes générations. Ils travaillent intensivement dans le but de pénétrer les pays grâce à ce qu'on appelle le soft power. Il est bien connu que des structures comme Rossotrudnichestvo ainsi que l'Église russe cherchent à s'implanter progressivement au sein des sociétés africaines. Mais comme on a pu le constater par la suite, cela peut évoluer vers des problèmes plus graves pour ces pays. Tous les pays ne comprennent pas ce qui est en train de se passer. Nous, nous avons une arme puissante que nous appelons la vérité, et nous essayons de nous battre avec les moyens dont nous disposons. Leur machine de propagande, elle, combat souvent avec des mensonges. » Au Kenya, la multiplication des témoignages sur les recrutements contraints pour la guerre en Ukraine a écorné l'image de la Russie. Reste à voir si cette réalité viendra enrayer le rouleau-compresseur de l'influence et de la communication mis en marche par Moscou. Le 25 février, l'Université de Nairobi a lancé un Centre africain pour l'étude de la Russie, en présence de l'ambassadeur russe. À lire aussiQui sont les Africains qui combattent pour la Russie?

Dave gripes about physical therapy, we hear about what's going on in the city this weekend, and more!

“This is an operation that is a secret,” whispers former journalist Don Lemon, in a video from moments before anti-ICE protestors stormed Cities Church in St. Paul, Minnesota. His statements, indicating foreknowledge of the conspiracy to interfere with the churchgoers' civil rights – a federal crime – have led to calls for Lemon's arrest, including from President Trump. In Don Lemon's video, a protestor confirms their actions are “a clandestine operation.” In an interview, Assistant Attorney General Harmeet Dhillon told Benny Johnson that “Don Lemon himself has come out and said he knew exactly what was going to happen inside that facility” and journalism is not a “shield” from being part of a “criminal conspiracy.” Dhillon says it's possible that Don Lemon could be charged under the Enforcement Act of 1871 – known as the KKK act, to protect civil rights against organized conspiracies – or the FACE Act, which protects both reproductive health centers and churches.

#673: Welcome to Greatest Hits Week – five days, five episodes from our vault, spelling out F-I-I-R-E. Today's second letter I stands for Investing. This episode originally aired in April 2022, but the framework remains one of the most practical guides we've shared for building wealth at any age. Nick Maggiulli joins us to reveal why most young investors obsess over the wrong metrics — and shares his Save-Invest Continuum that shows exactly when your savings beat your investment returns, and when that changes.  _____ When Nick Maggiulli was in his twenties, he spent countless hours obsessing over his investment portfolio – tweaking his asset allocation, running net worth projections, and building complex spreadsheets.  Meanwhile, he was blowing $100 every weekend partying in San Francisco. It took him years to realize the absurdity. His annual investment returns on his tiny $1,000 portfolio might earn him $100 – the same amount he'd spend in a single night out. Maggiulli joins us to explain why young investors focus on the wrong things and shares his framework for knowing when to prioritize saving versus investing.  He introduces the Save-Invest Continuum, which compares your expected annual savings against your expected investment returns.  When you're starting out, your ability to save dwarfs any investment gains. A $6,000 annual savings capacity beats a $100 investment return every time. We discuss the math behind saving 50 percent of future raises, not for guilt or deprivation, but to maintain lifestyle balance while building wealth.  This rule applies only to real raises above inflation. If you get a 3 percent raise during 3 percent inflation, you haven't actually gotten ahead. The conversation turns to unconventional income-producing assets. Beyond stocks and bonds, Maggiulli explores farmland investing, which offers returns uncorrelated with traditional markets.  He shares the story of someone who bought the royalty rights to Jay-Z and Alicia Keys' "Empire State of Mind" for $190,000. The song earned $32,733 in royalties the previous year — an 11 percent return if that income stays constant. We examine why 85 to 90 percent of your portfolio should generate income through dividends, rent, interest, or business profits.  Maggiulli keeps his speculative investments — cryptocurrency, art, and individual stocks — under 10 percent of his net worth. He admits his two individual stock picks are down 60 to 70 percent, proving his own point about avoiding stock picking. The episode reveals that time remains your most important asset. Warren Buffett would likely trade his entire fortune — and go into debt — to be 35 again.  This perspective shapes every financial decision, from choosing income strategies to deciding between assets that merely appreciate versus those that pay you while you sleep.
