Lifelong Minnesotan and veteran podcaster Cynthia Bemis Abrams reflects on Minnesota's outsized influence on American television, journalism, and culture in this timely solo episode of Advanced TV Herstory. Prompted by recent federal immigration enforcement actions in Minneapolis beginning in December 2025, Cynthia revisits the mission of the podcast and reframes it through Minnesota's unique television legacy. Drawing from decades of broadcasting experience, she examines how television created empathy, civic awareness, and cultural cohesion — and why that legacy still matters. The episode highlights Minnesota-born or Minnesota-connected women who shaped American TV and public life, including Judy Garland, Jessica Lange, Lea Thompson, Marion Ross (Happy Days), Mary Tyler Moore, Loni Anderson and others. Cynthia also reflects on the role of comfort television, women in news, and storytelling during moments of national stress. Closing the episode, Cynthia discusses the mood on the ground in Minnesota in January and February 2026 following the killings of Renee Good and Alex Pretti. She explains constitutional principles raised by current government actions and shares vetted resources for listeners seeking to support legal, housing, and food assistance efforts in the Minnesota.   Find a cause to support at https://www.standwithminnesota.com Mentioned Loni Anderson (1995), My Life in High Heels https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1054028.My_Life_in_High_Heels   10.12 – Comfort TV: Finding Joy with Karly Beaumont https://advancedtvherstory.libsyn.com/comfort-tv-finding-joy-with-karly-beaumont   Themes Covered Minnesota's television and news legacy Women in broadcast journalism and acting Comfort TV and cultural resilience Civic responsibility and constitutional principles Storytelling during periods of social unrest   Cynthia Bemis Abrams and Advanced TV Herstory ATVH Newsletter – tvherstory.com Website - https://cynthiabemisabrams.com/  Podcast Archive - tvherstory.com Email - advancedtvherstory@gmail.com Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/advancedtvherstory/ YouTube - https://www.youtube.com/@advancedtvherstory Facebook - https://www.facebook.com/Media.Cynthia Bluesky Social - https://bsky.app/profile/cynthiabemisabrams.bsky.social Production Video - Nivia Lopez - https://nivialopez.com/ Audio - Marilou Marosz - https://www.linkedin.com/in/mariloumarosz/ Music - https://freemusicarchive.org/music/Jahzzar/

Beginning with 1969's “The Voice of Christmas,” the show's only holiday episode and a pivotal moment that may have saved the series from early cancellation, examine why its themes of belief, family, and unity still resonate more than fifty years later. From there, trace the Bunch's uneven journey into adulthood, exploring the short-lived revival The Brady Brides, the enormously successful reunion movie A Very Brady Christmas—watched by nearly 40% of American TV households—and the ambitious but ill-fated 1990 dramedy The Bradys.

 Saul and Jolene were invited to a weekend RPG event hosted by Bay, a very good friend of theirs.   One game that both Saul and Jolene were eager to play was Brindlewood Bay.  Saul was interested because of the way the “mystery” was “solved” and the use of PBTA rules.  Jolene is a fan of mystery both in book and TV format.  Jolene watches a lot of mystery shows from old to new, American TV to British style mysteries.        Another good reason both Jolene and Saul wanted to play was that Bay is an excellent GM and has not disappointed either Jolene or Saul in a game that he has run.  So Saul was hesitant about the rpg ruleset “working', Jolene was super eager to play in a real mystery RPG adventure.      Saul and Jolene have mentioned Brindlewood Bay on previous episodes but it was from an opinion of just reading the rules and reading other peoples opinion of it. Now that they have both played the game, they decided it would be a good thing to review the game on an episode.    Thank you for Listening.    You can reach Saul and Jolene gamingperspectives.com@gmail.com   Web Art by Jim D.

Much of which has been highlighted on this podcast in the past year such as The Hangmen, Street Walking Cheetahs, and the Neverland Ranch Davidians. This is an amazing story of a Chicago native that moved to Poland nearly 30 years ago and was instrumental in bringing MTV to Eastern Europe. He was also responsible for bringing other American TV networks to Poland such as Comedy Central and Nickelodeon! Amazing stuff! Listen on Apple Podcasts, YouTube, Spotify, and on the Rock102 app!

Meet celebrated NY Times columnist and author David Margolick whose latest project is a thorough and exceptional biography of one of the living legends of comedy.  David Margolick is the author of, “When Caesar Was King: How Sid Caesar Reinvented American Comedy.”  By the mid 1950's Sid Caesar and “Your Show of Shows” captivated millions of American TV watchers.  As he rose to super- stardom,  Sid fostered the careers of several larger-than-life comedy disciples including Carl Reiner, Mel Brooks, Larry Gelbart, and Neil Simon among others.  Sid's tumultuous personal life is examined closely.  Caesar was the quintessential sad clown whose climactic highs were often out done by crushing letdowns.  It's a fascinating look at genius, a book that I found impossible to put down!

The jangle of spurs, the neigh of the horse...these are the sounds the American TV viewer hates. Join Kevin and Chris as they revisit this lightly sci-fi attempt to revive the Western as a force in culture, based largely on the charms of a youthful Bruce Campbell.

American TV series ‘Bob's Burgers' has received praise in Ireland following their recent portrayal of an old Irish mammy, and it got us thinking: what are some of the best and worst Irish representations on both the big and small screen?To discuss this, Ciara Doherty is joined by Arts Journalist and Film Critic, Chris Wasser.

Anky Cyriaque, a filmmaker originally from Haiti who grew up in New York, brings a unique perspective to the cinema industry, deeply rooted in his belief that storytelling reigns supreme. Influenced by early childhood experiences with American TV shows like Sesame Street, Cyriaque emphasizes that "story is king," a philosophy he upholds in his directorial pursuits. He expresses concern over the cinema industry's current trajectory, where financial considerations often overshadow the narrative, diminishing the traditional theatrical experience and leading to what he views as a decline in storytelling quality. Cyriaque also critiques the rapid shift from theatrical releases to video on demand, arguing that this quick transition erodes the value of the cinematic experience, urging a return to prioritizing engaging narratives that captivate audiences.(00:02:45) Short Films: Directors' Personal Storytelling Investments(00:05:57) Film Influence on Career Paths(00:10:23) "Showcasing Director's Storytelling Skills Through Shorts"(00:19:11) Streaming Services' Influence on Independent Filmmakers' Visibility(00:29:34) Dynamic Landscape of Modern Visual Narratives(00:34:52) Media Consumption Shift: Streaming vs. Physical Ownership(00:44:02) Influencer-Driven Marketing in Movie Promotion(00:47:01) Evolution of Independent Film Distribution Strategies(00:52:19) Spielberg's Influence on Film Appreciationhttps://www.imdb.com/name/nm3977697/

Happy Halloween Lodgecast listeners! Blink and you missed this exorcism movie starring Al "Dunkaccino" Pacino. It played in theaters only one week, and we missed it there, but we caught it on VOD! Set in 1928 in Iowa, the movie follows Theophilus Riesinger (Al Pacino) and Joseph Steiger (Dan Stevens) as they attempt to exorcise the demon of a young woman named Emma Schmidt (Abigail Cowen). It is directed by David Midell in a truly bizarre manner, with cinematography resembling the American TV series The Office. We'll let you know how weird it gets in this terrifying episode of the Lodgecast!

His newest memoir, I'm Prancing as Fast as I Can, is a coming-of-age story about a scared boy, confused about his sexuality, who learns to accept himself, his queerness, and accomplish incredible artistic goals (including writing for the hit show Will & Grace)! It's also a sort of love letter for those who share the experience of frustration, turbulence, and eventually figure out how to blossom into their queerness. His book makes you both laugh and cry at the same time. Jon also talks about his experiences working on the hit shows Will and Grace and Ugly Betty (to name a few), and what it was like taking Betty Buckley's meditative acting class (oh he also saw the original Carrie Broadway musical so you know I had to ask him about that).

Happy Halloween! This North American tradition of dressing up for October has spread around the world and we on the Quackcast acknowledge that by dressing up and joining in with the fun! Us in costume will be in a freely viewable video to anyone that looks at our Patreon this week, you don't have to be paid subscribers. I am a skull-faced Mariachi because I have a great skull mask and a pretty awesome authentic tailored charro suit and wide sombrero, Tantz is a magical steampunk vampire in fantastic makeup, a vintage hat and gothic coat, and Banes is a creepy Pennywise screencap haha! See us here: https://www.patreon.com/DrunkDuck on our Patreon vid for this week! When I was a little kid growing up in Australia back in the day Halloween was this strange thing you ONLY saw on American TV shows, usually part of the storyline for seasonal episodes. When it started coming here I, like a lot of people, resisted it because it seemed like obnoxious cultural imperialism… but I've accepted it since because the dressing up part is obviously fun. In the Quackcast we chat about dressing up and some horror stuff. I watched both Scary Movie 1 and Scary Movie 2 for the cast to get into the feel of things. I had never seen them before! Despite being parody comedy movies I still found the killings in the first movie pretty disturbing most of the time and it just seemed like a normal horror movie in a lot of ways but with brighter lighting and dumber jokes (I actually found Heredity much funnier and less horrific). The second film was a much broader comedy, which was pretty silly in many ways but the jokes were also better done, especially the reconstructed skeleton scene. What are your fave horror comedies? And what will you dress up as for Halloween? This week Gunwallace has given us the musical theme to - Le French Ninja - This strikes me as saucy French take on the videogame inspired theme to Scott Pilgrim Vs The World. It has the sidescroller beat-em-up 8 bit feel, but it's cooler somehow, wearing a beret and a black turtleneck.

Let's just say that the classic stories chosen to be remade and updated to that 90s American TV sensibility...well, they were some interesting choices!

You're about to see a side to Aaron Chen you've never seen before. You might know him as George in Fisk, or Guy Montgomery's sidekick on Spelling Bee. Maybe you cheered his win on Taskmaster Australia season 3. He's also an acclaimed stand-up comic. But when I sat down with Aaron in his new home in New York City, I got a totally different sense of what makes him tick.This podcast is a companion to the TV episode you can see now on ABC iview. But here, you're getting a whole lot more. More stories, silliness, and backstory to Aaron Chen. I really loved this conversation, mainly cos I had no idea what to expect. And what I walked away with was a rich portrait of a really beautiful human with his heart in the right place.Aaron Chen's song choices:Arcade Fire – 'Neighbourhood #1 (Tunnels)'Matt Berry – 'Take My Hand'Vampire Weekend – 'Jerusalem, New York, Berlin'Faye Wong – 'Dreams (夢中人)'Kacey Musgraves – 'Deeper Well'00:00 Introduction to Aaron Chen01:26 Aaron's Move to New York02:49 Comedy and Music04:38 Growing Up in Suburban Sydney12:06 Early Comedy Days16:05 First TV Show Experience20:43 Friendship with Sam Campbell25:38 Journey to America27:49 Auditioning for Fisk29:44 Meeting Kitty Flanagan30:29 Finding My Comedy Voice34:29 Faith and Grounding41:50 Marriage and Moving to New York44:27 American TV and Movie Roles48:36 Final Reflections and Future PlansWatch Take 5 on ABC iview:https://iview.abc.net.au/show/take-5-with-zan-rowe

'The Hank McCune Show' - an otherwise unremarkable footnote in American TV history - became the first single-camera sitcom to deploy a pre-recorded laugh track (aka ‘canned laughter') on 9th September, 1950. The giggles and applause came courtesy of Charlie Douglass, who made a career of capturing audience reaction in his ‘laff box', and then expertly sprinkling it across other shows, including Bewitched, The Munsters and The Flintstones.  In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly look back at Red Skelton's ‘pantomimes', the origin of much of Douglass' recorded laughter; explain why live studio audiences are sometimes even more enthusiastic clappers than pre-recorded ones; and reveal how the Bolshoi Ballet STILL employ professional audience reactionaries… Further Reading:  • ‘The invention of laughter: Charley Douglass and the laff box' (The Verge, 2013): https://www.theverge.com/2013/12/13/5207136/Charley-Douglass-laff-box-laugh-track • ‘How we fell in and out of love with the Laff Box, the laugh track machine that changed sitcoms forever' (ABC, 2020): https://www.abc.net.au/news/2020-04-16/history-of-the-laugh-track-laff-box-charles-douglass/12117866 • ‘How Do Laugh Tracks Work?'

Deep inside the Colombian Amazon hi-tech submarines are being built. When it comes to making the cocaine trade more profitable, there's nothing narco-traffickers aren't willing to try. Some of the solutions they're reportedly employing sound like something out of the American TV series Breaking Bad: GPS-trackers, remotely operated submarines and recruiting highly specialised scientists. Reporter José Carlos Cueto of BBC Mundo has been investigating the new trends and technologies used by cartels in Colombia and abroad. Labubu dolls, the elf-like plush toys from the Chinese toy maker Pop Mart, seem to have taken the world by storm. Singer Rihanna had one clipped to her bag, influencer Kim Kardashian shared her collection of 10 dolls on Instagram, and former England football captain Sir David Beckham also shared a photo of a Labubu, given to him by his daughter. So, what's behind this craze? Fan Wang reports from Singapore. From the US to the Middle East, sand and dust storms have recently swept across many parts of the world, colouring the skies and leaving people with breathing problems. These storms traditionally originate in vast deserts. However, scientists believe that climate change means more people could be affected - with desertification and melting glaciers, exposing more dust. Maria Zaccaro, a BBC journalist reporting for the Global Journalism Science and Climate team, finds out more. Mumbai in India is one of the most densely populated cities in the world - and it's also the perfect habitat for leopards. BBC Marathi recently posted a video on their YouTube channel, showing these majestic wild cats strolling down residential streets and even entering people's homes. In the past, there were several reports of human-animal conflict, including some deadly attacks. But since 2022 there have been no accidents at all. So how did people and leopards manage to find a way to live together in harmony? Reporter Mayuresh Konnur has the story. This episode of The Documentary comes to you from The Fifth Floor, the show at the heart of global storytelling, with BBC journalists from all around the world.This is an EcoAudio certified production.
