Screenwriter and playwright Abi Morgan has worked across a diverse array of themes and genres for more than 25 years. She wrote the television series The Split, a domestic drama involving divorce lawyers, and created the psychological Netflix series Eric. Her other television credits include Sex Traffic, for which she won a BAFTA for Best Drama serial in 2005, and The Hour, the television news drama which earned her an Emmy award in 2012. Her film credits include The Iron Lady, which starred Meryl Streep as Margaret Thatcher; historical drama Suffragette; and Shame, co-written with the director Steve McQueen. Her recent book This Is Not A Pity Memoir recounts her husband's recovery after serious illness, and her own treatment for cancer. Abi Morgan tells John Wilson about her childhood in a theatrical family; her father was the director Gareth Morgan and her mother is the actor Pat England. She chooses the author, screenwriter and director Nora Ephron as an important influence, and particularly the film Heartburn which Ephron adapted from her semi-autobiographical divorce novel Heartburn. Abi Morgan also recalls the work of television screenwriter Kay Mellor, whose series Band Of Gold and Playing The Field also influenced her own writing. She describes how seeing an exhibition of the work of artist Cornelia Parker, including her installation Cold Dark Matter: An Exploded View, inspired some of Abi's early theatre work including her plays Splendour and The Mistress Contract.

[SEGMENT 2-1 Trump's presser 1 Trump's Press Conference: A Stand-Up Routine Opening Line:You ever notice how Trump can turn a simple announcement into a three-ring circus? I say this affectionately. I went to the circus once as a kid, so I rather enjoy waking up each day to a Trump presidency, and watching him tame Leftists like the ringmaster he is. He's at Mar-a-Lago with a golden megaphone: “Ladies and gentlemen, presenting my greatest trick—making $100 billion investments look like pocket change!”On the Border Wall:Trump's talking about the border wall again: “We'll sell the leftover materials. It's almost a criminal act not to!” Yeah, Joe, why didn't you list it on Craigslist? I mean, you already left the gate wide open; might as well let someone get a deal on the fence. [SEGMENT 2-2] Trump's presser 2 On Changing Personalities:Trump says, “The first term everybody was fighting me. In this term, everybody wants to be my friend. I don't know. My personality changed or something.” Yeah, because when Trump says he's changed, it's not subtle. It's like going from wearing a red tie to a gold one and calling it rebranding.The ‘Changed Man' Narrative:Jeff Bezos even called him “a changed man.” That's rich coming from the guy who changed bookstores into warehouses. Bezos probably walked into Mar-a-Lago and said, “Wow, you've changed, Mr. President.” And Trump, sipping his Diet Coke, went, “No, Jeff, you've changed. Look at those muscles. Amazon Prime delivering gains!”Washington's the Real Change:Maggie Haberman says it's not Trump who changed—it's Washington. She's right! Washington's doing that thing where they pretend they're nice to the boss right before performance reviews. Suddenly, all these old foes are “friends.” Mitch McConnell probably sent a Christmas card that said, “To my bestie, DJT. Let's build back better… walls!”The Biden Void:Politico says part of Trump's new glow-up is because Biden has “disappeared.” The guy's so invisible, he's practically playing Where's Waldo? on the world stage. Meanwhile, Trump's doing press conferences, fielding drone conspiracies, and even making friends with RFK Jr., saying he's “not as radical as you'd think.” That's Trump-speak for, “He hasn't made fun of me... yet.”On Drones:Speaking of drones, Trump says, “The government knows what's happening.” Sure they do, Mr. President. They know about the drones, just like they know where all the missing socks go after laundry day. But hey, at least it's consistent with Washington's usual stance: “We'll look into it… eventually.”So, Trump's personality may not have changed, but the audience sure has. The first time, it was hostile reporters and a frosty reception. Now, it's business leaders, ex-critics, and even Jeff Bezos, all cozying up to the golden ticket. Trump's not just running for president again—he's auditioning for Best Drama and Best Comedy.Sources:Full Trump quote and Axios coverage: AP VideoHaberman's NYT commentary: NYT AnalysisPolitico Playbook insights: Politico[SEGMENT 2-3] Trump's presser 3 President Trump spoke to the press, like any good leader should do routinely and COHERENTLY. And his presser has everybody talking. From “he's changed” to he's confident, people act as if Trump is a new man. He's not. He's the same guy he used to be, but he has a lot more knowledge of what he's up against. Since he became president-elect, Trump has met with Silicon Valley billionaires including Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, Apple CEO Tim Cook and Google CEO Sundar Pichai. He revealed he had also met with Google co-founder Sergey Brin. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos will meet with him this week, Trump said. “We have a lot of great executives coming in — the top executives, the top bankers, they're all calling,” he said. “It's like a complete opposite from the first one.” [X] SB – CN on Trump and the newly freed so-called hostage I've seen the change in others, particularly the media, who by the way is running scared and for good reason. Trump is suing them, winning, and threatens to keep suing. I haven't seen Leftists this scared until the last time Biden took the stairs. No, actually since he farted in front of Camilla, and his staffers thought he soiled his Underoos. [SEGMENT 2-4] Trump presser 4 [X] SB – CNN Jake Tapper on Trump suing the media Overstate Trump's friendliness and genialness at this press conference. Lawsuit against ABC won't be the end. Bob Woodward, Pulitzer (on Russia hoax) Iowa poll. Ann Seltzer 60 Minutes – editing Wildly ridiculous Trump is going rogue because he won. He's been emboldened Personal. Angry. Bad poll. On the Media:He calls out the press: “We have to straighten out the media—it's very corrupt!” And then takes questions from the very people he's roasting. That's like insulting the chef while they're serving your dinner: “This steak's probably garbage... but keep it coming, so I can keep sending it back!”On DeSantis and Rubio:Trump's softening on DeSantis and Rubio, calling Ron's work “a good job.” That's Trumpese for “He hasn't screwed up... yet.” And as for Rubio, Trump's letting Florida decide whether to keep him or send him packing. Imagine Marco hearing that, sweating bullets thinking, “Please, not another nickname!”Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kevin-jackson-show--2896352/support.

It's almost a criminal act not to!” Yeah, Joe, why didn't you list it on Craigslist? I mean, you already left the gate wide open; might as well let someone get a deal on the fence. [SEGMENT 2-2] Trump's presser 2 On Changing Personalities:Trump says, “The first term everybody was fighting me. In this term, everybody wants to be my friend. I don't know. My personality changed or something.” Yeah, because when Trump says he's changed, it's not subtle. It's like going from wearing a red tie to a gold one and calling it rebranding.The ‘Changed Man' Narrative:Jeff Bezos even called him “a changed man.” That's rich coming from the guy who changed bookstores into warehouses. Bezos probably walked into Mar-a-Lago and said, “Wow, you've changed, Mr. President.” And Trump, sipping his Diet Coke, went, “No, Jeff, you've changed. Look at those muscles. Amazon Prime delivering gains!”Washington's the Real Change:Maggie Haberman says it's not Trump who changed—it's Washington. She's right! Washington's doing that thing where they pretend they're nice to the boss right before performance reviews. Suddenly, all these old foes are “friends.” Mitch McConnell probably sent a Christmas card that said, “To my bestie, DJT. Let's build back better… walls!”The Biden Void:Politico says part of Trump's new glow-up is because Biden has “disappeared.” The guy's so invisible, he's practically playing Where's Waldo? on the world stage. Meanwhile, Trump's doing press conferences, fielding drone conspiracies, and even making friends with RFK Jr., saying he's “not as radical as you'd think.” That's Trump-speak for, “He hasn't made fun of me... yet.”On Drones:Speaking of drones, Trump says, “The government knows what's happening.” Sure they do, Mr. President. They know about the drones, just like they know where all the missing socks go after laundry day. But hey, at least it's consistent with Washington's usual stance: “We'll look into it… eventually.”So, Trump's personality may not have changed, but the audience sure has. The first time, it was hostile reporters and a frosty reception. Now, it's business leaders, ex-critics, and even Jeff Bezos, all cozying up to the golden ticket. Trump's not just running for president again—he's auditioning for Best Drama and Best Comedy.Sources:Full Trump quote and Axios coverage: AP VideoHaberman's NYT commentary: NYT AnalysisPolitico Playbook insights: Politico[SEGMENT 2-3] Trump's presser 3 President Trump spoke to the press, like any good leader should do routinely and COHERENTLY. And his presser has everybody talking. From “he's changed” to he's confident, people act as if Trump is a new man. He's not. He's the same guy he used to be, but he has a lot more knowledge of what he's up against. Since he became president-elect, Trump has met with Silicon Valley billionaires including Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg, Apple CEO Tim Cook and Google CEO Sundar Pichai. He revealed he had also met with Google co-founder Sergey Brin. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos will meet with him this week, Trump said. “We have a lot of great executives coming in — the top executives, the top bankers, they're all calling,” he said. “It's like a complete opposite from the first one.” [X] SB – CN on Trump and the newly freed so-called hostage I've seen the change in others, particularly the media, who by the way is running scared and for good reason. Trump is suing them, winning, and threatens to keep suing. I haven't seen Leftists this scared until the last time Biden took the stairs. No, actually since he farted in front of Camilla, and his staffers thought he soiled his Underoos. [SEGMENT 2-4] Trump presser 4 [X] SB – CNN Jake Tapper on Trump suing the media Overstate Trump's friendliness and genialness at this press conference. Lawsuit against ABC won't be the end. Bob Woodward, Pulitzer (on Russia hoax) Iowa poll. Ann Seltzer 60 Minutes – editing Wildly ridiculous Trump is going rogue because he won. He's been emboldened Personal. Angry. Bad poll. On the Media:He calls out the press: “We have to straighten out the media—it's very corrupt!” And then takes questions from the very people he's roasting. That's like insulting the chef while they're serving your dinner: “This steak's probably garbage... but keep it coming, so I can keep sending it back!”On DeSantis and Rubio:Trump's softening on DeSantis and Rubio, calling Ron's work “a good job.” That's Trumpese for “He hasn't screwed up... yet.” And as for Rubio, Trump's letting Florida decide whether to keep him or send him packing. Imagine Marco hearing that, sweating bullets thinking, “Please, not another nickname!”On Autism and Vaccines:When asked about vaccines, Trump dives headfirst into controversy: “There's something wrong, and we're going to find out.” The guy's like a walking cliffhanger episode. You're half-expecting him to end with, “Tune in next week for my findings!” Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-kevin-jackson-show--2896352/support.

Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth Interview with Marc Saltarelli, Filmmaker, “Studio One Forever” About Harvey's guests: Today's guest, Marc Saltarelli, is a multi-award-winning filmmaker whose narrative films and documentaries have made him one of the most respected and admired directors and producers in the film industry. His movies have collectively been screened in over 250 major film festivals around the world. Some of his most popular films are, “Where We Began”, which won the Planet Out Award for Best Short Film, “To Comfort You”, which won the Best Picture and Best Drama awards at the Beverly Hills Short Fest, “Pride”, which won awards at the Accolade Competition and the Long Island Gay and Lesbian Film Festival, “Remember to Breathe”, which earned 5 Best Picture nominations worldwide, and WON an award at the Long Island Gay and Lesbian Film Festival, “I Knew Andy Warhol”, which was the centerpiece of the Warhol exhibit at the Palm Springs Museum of Art, and won the award for Best Documentary at the Hollywood Reel Independent Film Festival, and “Red Ribbons of Love”, which was named Best Documentary last year at the Toronto LGBTQ Film Festival. He's here to discuss his latest feature film, a fabulous documentary entitled, “Studio One Forever”, which tells the untold story of the most iconic gay disco in America, Studio One in Los Angeles. Studio One was much more than just a disco - it was a mecca for gay men looking for identity and a sense of community in a world that saw them as outcasts. Its adjoining nightclub, The Backlot, created the very first space where the gay community and members of the Hollywood elite socialized together. From 1974 to 1993, Studio One and The Backlot became the center of nightlife in West Hollywood, and an important staging ground for the rise of the gay rights movement and the fight against AIDS. Featuring appearances by Chita Rivera, Thelma Houston, Lance Bass, Bruce Vilanch, Melissa Rivers, Felipé Rose from the Village People and many others, this highly compelling and insightful movie takes the audience on a fascinating journey of the history of the gay community, through the lens of this groundbreaking disco. The movie just won the award for the Best LGBTQ film at the Hollywood Reel Independent Film Festival. Our guest's life-long passion for filmmaking is deeply rooted in the belief that movies should not only entertain - they also have the power to effect positive change in the world.

It's a Test Match between Australia and England. Who will win the Ashes. But the commentary is interrupted by the mysterious and troubling disappearance of one of England's most talented young batters. This young cricketer has walked out of the match and no one knows where he has gone. Or, why. As the cricketer talks to a therapist his story unfolds. The Batter ..... Dan Parr The Dad ..... Ian Conningham The Ex Girlfriend ..... Melissa Vaughan The Bowler ..... Will Kirk The Therapist ..... Tracy Wiles The Test Commentator ..... Jonathan Agnew Written by James Fritz Directed by Tracey Neale Cricket has been part of this young man's life since he was six years old. Growing up in Lancashire he is talented and incredibly ambitious, always proud of the way that he handles pressure. Under the watchful eye of his dad he has risen from school to club to country and finally international level. His mum died when he was seven, so it's always been just him, his dad and cricket. When his first England Test cap is awarded, he takes to international cricket like a duck to water. A high flyer and settled down with a girlfriend who is studying Climate Science. On tour, although older players tell him not to, he googles his own name and constantly reads and watches everything he can about cricket and then this becomes mixed in with climate fears. He begins to read tweets and articles and watch TikTok videos that inflame his worries even more and things begin to get out of control and his ability to play cricket suffers. Then finally, on the biggest stage, something snaps. With millions watching on the television around the world and without saying a word to his teammates, he drives away from the stadium into the Australian outback and ends up locking himself in a wardrobe in a motel in the middle of nowhere. Frightened and alone. As his demons start to overwhelm him, can he find the strength to open the door? As the cricketer talks to a therapist his story unfolds. Cricket has long had a problem with poor mental health. The unique pressures of ‘a team game played by individuals' have led many prominent players to experience substance abuse, anxiety, depression and at times suicide. It involves extreme scrutiny of talent, technique and mental fortitude combined with extended periods away from the comforts of home and family. The batter who is out for nought is left for days or weeks to stew on their failure: on how it has cost their team, their career prospects, their country. Arguably there has never been a harder time to be a professional athlete. The constant scrutiny of social media means that there is no escape from the public glare for young sports men and women. But this is only reflective of the wider crisis in young men's mental health in our society. Suicide is the biggest killer of men under 45. Generations of young men are growing up unable to ask for help, trapped in cycles of anxiety and depression, feeling their own pressure to ‘perform' in a variety of different ways. The Test Batter Can't Breathe is heart-breaking and occasionally terrifying, but hopeful and educational. An honest, unflinching portrayal of a mind under extreme stress that might make those suffering from performance-related anxiety and depression feel a little less alone.
