Podcast appearances and mentions of Boy George

Send us Fan MailOn today's Dishing Drama with Dana Wilkey I'm covering three shows in one, so grab your tea. First, my Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip Roaring 20th Episode 6 Shade Show, where Kyle Richards, Teresa Giudice, Lisa Barlow, Luann de Lesseps, Vicki Gunvalson, Porsha Williams, Gizelle Bryant, Alexia Nepola and Marysol Patton take over Miami Beach, and I walk you through every spot they hit because I used to live there. I have thoughts on Andy Cohen and Kevin, NeNe Leakes saying she's never coming back to Real Housewives of Atlanta, Lisa Rinna and her Traitors Emmy, Todd Nepola, and a Luann de Lesseps story that will leave you speechless. Then Gizelle Bryant accuses Lisa Barlow of talking to bloggers, and Kyle Richards and Teresa Giudice act shocked, so I break down who on that cast really talks to bloggers, what Teresa Giudice did before Real Housewives of New Jersey Season 14 aired, the text Kyle Richards sent Dorit Kemsley before the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills reunion, and what a Bravo production company asked me to hand over. Next, PK Kemsley and the Dorit Kemsley house: how Ronald Richards connected PK to the company that bought the debt, what I believe PK was really planning, why Dorit Kemsley's book worried me, PK's history from Rock Investment and his bankruptcy to Boy George, Jon Moss and Culture Club, and why I don't agree with Ronald Richards calling it brilliant. Then the Bronwyn Newport scandal with married New York restaurateur Justin Sievers, who really broke that story before Page Six took credit, and his own interview that tells you everything. I share my concerns about Heather Gay's boyfriend Tripp, tease some Real Housewives of London tea, and tell you what I really think about Whitney Rose and Justin Rose's separation. Finally, my Real Housewives of Salt Lake City Season 7 Episode 1 Gossip Dump with Mary Cosby grieving her son Robert Jr., Lisa Barlow and John Barlow, Bronwyn Newport on Todd Bradley and Brandon Good, Whitney Rose versus Meredith Marks and Lisa Barlow over that drag brunch, Heather Gay introducing Tripp to her daughter Georgia, Meredith Marks' facelift, Angie Katsanevas, Camille Grammer and Next Gen LA, and what my Real Housewives of Beverly Hills game night budget actually was. Bravo gossip, reality TV news and Real Housewives recaps from someone who has been on the inside.

Guest host Garland Nixon and Hard Lens Media's Kit Cabello discuss Macklemore being removed from Ed Sheeran's stadium tour after shouting "Free Palestine" at a recent MetLife Stadium show. Macklemore posted on Instagram that Robert Kraft threatened to block Sheeran's show from Gillette Stadium and rallied other venue owners, forcing Sheeran to choose between keeping Macklemore and retaining access to their venues.  At the same time the Israeli American Council petitioned to have Macklemore dropped, while Pink and Boy George also criticized him, all of which the hosts frame as billionaire and Israel-linked censorship of artistic free speech. They argue that if venue owners can silence Macklemore for pro-Palestine speech, they can do the same to any artist who steps out of line, making it a free-speech issue for everyone. Plus segments on the Houthis in Yemen capturing abandoned American military hardware and Twitter banning user "Parody Jeff" for getting Grok to admit that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza. Also featuring Kurt Metzger and Mike MacRae. And a phone call from John Goodman and Jeff Bridges!

Nadav Zysblat has just begun his posting as Israel's new Consul General in Toronto and Western Canada at a particularly difficult moment in Canada-Israel relations. In the days surrounding his arrival, Canada announced it would bring forward measures to ban trade in goods from illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank, while a boycott campaign targeted pro-Israel singer Boy George's Vancouver concert. Zysblat, a career Israeli diplomat, says his job is to strengthen—not retreat from—the relationship. Pushing back against calls for boycotts, he wants to expand trade and business ties at the provincial level, restore direct flights between Canada and Israel, and support local Holocaust education initiatives. Zysblat has served previously in Washington and Shanghai. Two days before the Carney government's West Bank announcement, Zysblat sat down with The CJN's North Star podcast host Ellin Bessner to record his first Canadian interview. He told Bessner he wants to find new areas of cooperation with Ontario, the Prairies and B.C., particularly in sectors including natural resources, health care, AI, quantum computing and secure technology. They talked about how boycotts are not helpful to building relationships, how they hurt Canada's interests rather than solve the problem in the Middle East, and why he feels Israel could actually be “an answer” to Canada's current push to diversify its economy, amidst the economic trade war with the U.S. Related links Learn more about Prime Minister Mark Carney's recent announcement on Sept 8 that Canada will cut off imports of products made in illegal West Bank settlements and also East Jerusalem, and go after companies and entities who finance the settlement movement, in The CJN, Discover the background to a protracted Canadian case brought by anti-Israel activists in 2017 over labelling of wines produced by Psagot and Shiloh wineries located in the West Bank, and the last development in 2022, in The CJN.

Ed Sheeran Biography Flash a weekly Biography. Ed Sheeran has spent the past few days at the center of a very modern music-and-politics storm, all spinning out from his blockbuster Loop Tour shows at MetLife Stadium in New Jersey. As reported by NorthJersey.com and the Asbury Park Press, Sheeran drew sold‑out crowds on September 4 and 5, commanding the stadium with his trademark one‑man loop pedal performance, fireworks, and a guest appearance from Camila Cabello, while also reflecting on his 2023 courtroom victory in the “Thinking Out Loud” copyright case and how he turned that saga into the song Old Phone on his 2025 album Play. According to those local reports, he told fans that if his name has been in the news in the past decade, it was usually about court cases and accusations of stealing songs, and that he had to prove in a New York courtroom that he had not stolen Marvin Gaye's Lets Get It On. But the biggest biographical development this week is less about the setlist and more about who shares his stage. Variety, TMZ, and USA Today all report that his opening act, rapper Macklemore, used his MetLife slots to deliver an extended pro‑Palestinian message, repeatedly chanting “Free Palestine” and performing his protest song Hind's Hall, with Gaza‑war imagery on the stadium screens. That sparked an online petition from the Israeli‑American Civic Action or Council, covered by outlets including NJ.com and Israel National News, demanding that Macklemore be dropped from the remaining Loop Tour dates, and complaining that fans bought tickets for an Ed Sheeran concert, not a political rally. Sheeran himself has not publicly commented on the controversy, a silence noted critically by opinion pieces in the New York Post and Showbiz411, which argue his refusal to speak out “speaks volumes.” The Jewish Chronicle and Stereogum report that pop star Pink amplified criticism of Macklemore via Instagram, while still making her own nuanced statement about Palestinians and Hamas, adding more indirect pressure around Sheeran's tour. Meanwhile, Israel‑focused outlets and Yahoo Entertainment highlight Boy George attacking Sheeran online as a “fake” for his silence, and one gossip‑style report even speculates about tension between Ed Sheeran and longtime friend Taylor Swift over the fallout; that last angle is based on unnamed entertainment‑industry sources and should be treated as unconfirmed rumor rather than verified fact. There have been no major verified new songs, business deals, or personal life bombshells for Ed Sheeran reported in the past 24 hours; the dominant story is his role, willingly or not, as the host stage for Macklemore's polarizing activism and the growing calls for him to respond or act. For a long‑term biography, this week may be remembered as the moment his usually apolitical touring world collided head‑on with geopolitics and forced questions about how he uses his platform.

Elsewhere in the episode Tim talks about his own Jewish upbringing, the history of Israel, the nation's participation in Eurovision, current reflections on the horrors being perpetrated in Palestine, and some modern and vintage Palestinian liberation music. Patreon.com/LoveMessagePodwww.loveisthemessagepod.co.ukTracklist:The Equals - Black Skinned Blue Eyed Boys Visage - Fade to Grey Heaven 17 - (We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thing Kofia - Leve Palestina Roger Waters - Comfortably Numb Re-Imagined

Steve Levine is a multi-award winning British record producer. He has produced albums for stars ranging from Deniece Williams to China Crisis; from Ziggy Marley to Quarterflash; as well as being producer of Culture Club's first three multi-platinum selling albums from the 1980s. In 1984 Steve won Producer Of The Year at The Brit Awards, and in 1988 he won a Grammy Award for his work with Deniece Williams The Beach Boys self-titled 1985 CD – which Steve originally produced - was the band's first to be recorded digitally and featured guest musicians Ringo Starr, Gary Moore and Stevie Wonder, plus a track written by Boy George and Roy Hay of Culture Club. Now, the former Culture Club producer accesses individual tracks from the original London (Red Bus Studios) and Los Angeles (Westlake Audio) session tapes. 40 years later, armed with new technology, Steve is able to transform the sonic quality via equipment that wasn't available four decades ago. As he undertakes the painstaking studio process of remixing the music for a forthcoming re-release, Steve discusses the process – and the original sessions – in detail, with some music business friends. Those friends include original member of The Go Go's and solo star Belinda Carlisle; founder member of the band America, Gerry Beckley; poet, author, biographer and documentary film maker Michael Feeney Callan; plus young British music duo Smith & Liddle, otherwise known as Billy Smith and Elizabeth Liddle.A Magnum Opus Broadcasting production for the BBC World Service Producers: Steve Levine and Lewis Borg-Cardona

We have huge news in this week's podcast!It is about the future of journalism and America. Ann and I both know there has never been a bigger need for real journalism than right now. That's why we're launching the Shillman Journalism Prize (linked below). It's a prize for people under 25 who have a story to tell and who want to tell the truth. Do you know a story that has not been told or that has been misreported? We want to encourage the next generation of journalists. So please enter the Shillman Prize.You can get the full details in the podcast. As you might know, we've worked all over the world as reporters. We've covered the Troubles in Northern Ireland. We've gone undercover exposing baby-selling rings in Romania, Indonesia and Vietnam. We also went to Israel in the days after October 7 to interview survivors of the Hamas massacre, sitting with people still raw from unimaginable horror and determined to make sure the world heard what actually happened. We have also exposed America's biggest serial killer Kermit Gosnell - the Philadelphia abortion doctor.This is your chance to make a difference but journalism doesn't have to be dangerous or require huge resources. You can still cause real trouble without putting your lives at risk. Sometimes the truth is simply good news that needs to be amplified. Sometimes life-changing stories are just the ones that have never been told properly — or never been told at all.So that's why we are launching the Shillman Journalism Prize — a national contest for young citizen journalists and emerging reporters. If you're under 25, and not currently employed full-time in journalism, this is for you. We're looking for original reporting:ResearchDocumentsInterviewsHard factsNot another opinion piece. Watch this week's show to find out more about the contest as well through the contest website, ShilmanPrize.com. From the anti-Semitic to sexually perverse, Official Ireland truly is sick. The government's Health Service Executive, which runs the National Health Service, is sponsoring a conference on breast feeding -all good so far. We can all remember the health guideance promoting “breast is best”, and that using baby formula was akin to child abuse. That's what we were told. And now in Progressive Ireland - the government is paying for a man to come to lecture about men breastfeeding babies and how you can get sexual gratification from breastfeeding.  The government has defended paying him to speak. Mustn't annoy the “kinksters” in modern Ireland.Watch this week's episode to find out about the mockery Ireland has made of motherhood.And watch the podcast to find out what 80s pop legend Boy George, reality TV star Sharon Osbourne and comedian Jerry Seinfeld have in common and what they think of our content.Learn about Hollywood antisemitism and find out which of the above celebrities called me their“…favorite Irishman”.Also, we attended Nick Cave and his band The Bad Seeds' concert in Paris over the weekend which was a truly spiritual experience.

Acclaimed documentary filmmaker Alison Ellwood has spent years uncovering the stories behind some of music's most fascinating artists and scenes, from the Eagles and the Go-Go's to Laurel Canyon and San Francisco. Her latest film, Boy George & Culture Club, takes us behind the colorful image of one of the most iconic bands of the 1980s and into the complicated stories that unfolded behind the scenes. We talk about the love affair between Boy George and Jon Moss that inspired the music, George's struggles with drug abuse, the secrets within the band, and the fallout surrounding their missed opportunity to perform at Live Aid. Alison also revisits the Eagles, including the tensions that were still very much alive when she made her documentary, and the idealism, creativity and community that defined San Francisco's music scene in the '60s. She shares what she's really looking for when she sits down with an artist and how she gets beyond the answers they've given a hundred times before. It's a fascinating conversation about music, fame, relationships and the stories hiding beneath the surface. Boy George & Culture Club is available on Amazon and Apple TV. Songs in this episode: Culture Club - Karma Chameleon Culture Club - Miss Me Blind Moby Grape - Omaha Cyndi Lauper - She Bop Culture Club - Church of the Poison Mind For more information on My Rock Moment, visit www.myrockmoment.com Follow us for photos and news of upcoming episodes at: https://www.instagram.com/la_woman_rocks Learn more about your ad choices.

On the Saturday August 1, 2026 edition of The Richard Crouse Show we’ll meet award-winning documentary filmmaker, director, producer, and editor Alison Elwood. Her standout music documentaries include the Emmy-nominated "Laurel Canyon: A Place in Time," the Critics’ Choice Award-winning "The Go-Go’s," "Let the Canary Sing" about Cyndi Lauper, and the acclaimed History of the Eagles. Her latest film is "Boy George & Culture Club." Then, we’ll meet writer, screenwriter, and copywriter Edward Chisholm. His new book, “Murder in Paris ’68,” is a work of narrative non-fiction that dives into the unsolved murder of Stevan Markovic, the Serbian bodyguard and associate of French film star Alain Delon. It was an immense scandal at the time, and Edward’s book captures the whole story.

Spouting Off with Karen Kataline Porcelli and Kataline 7-30-26 FINAL Accountability, Culture Wars, Iran, and the Voices That Reach Us Summary Fauci, Pardons, and Accountability The conversation opens with Vic Porcelli, Ken Williams, and Karen Kataline discussing Anthony Fauci, recent questioning, and whether he might face meaningful accountability. Kataline argues that Fauci's use of the Fifth Amendment, the scope of a presidential pardon, and questions surrounding authorization of an autopen pardon deserve further scrutiny. She describes Fauci in extremely condemnatory terms and compares his conduct to historical medical experimentation, while Ken expresses pessimism that any consequences will ultimately follow. Kataline pushes back against giving up entirely and says she hopes multiple investigations and disclosures will eventually become impossible for the public to ignore. The hosts also joke about media treatment of Fauci and play a montage of earlier broadcast voices praising his candor and service. Throughout this section, claims about criminality, pardons, and medical wrongdoing are opinions and allegations made by the speakers, not independently established facts within the transcript. Gain-of-Function, COVID, and Institutional Distrust The discussion then turns to gain-of-function research, COVID-19, testing, vaccines, pharmaceutical companies, and the speakers' distrust of institutions that shaped the pandemic response. Vic says he does not pretend to fully understand gain-of-function research and questions the logic of altering viruses in ways that could make them transmissible to humans. Ken and Karen discuss their understanding of the term and speculate about motives, laboratory research, and whether financial incentives influenced decisions. Pfizer, testing, vaccines, and Fauci's prior statements are all discussed critically, with the speakers arguing that important questions remain unanswered. Kataline broadens the subject into a larger political argument, portraying pandemic policies and ideological conformity as part of an attack on American freedom. The conversation later returns to masking, where she describes forced face coverings as symbols of submission and connects that reaction to her wider concerns about political and cultural control. Sophie Cunningham, Caitlin Clark, and WNBA Culture A second major segment focuses on Sophie Cunningham, Caitlin Clark, and growing interest in the WNBA. Kataline praises Cunningham's toughness, athletic ability, background at the University of Missouri, and public comments about sex and sports. She says she has become much more interested in women's basketball and now records games so she does not miss them. The speakers discuss Cunningham's defense of Caitlin Clark, protests around a Seattle game, and the hostile treatment they believe both players have received. They interpret some of the conflict through a racial and cultural lens, arguing that resentment of successful white athletes reflects a broader increase in racial hostility. The conversation also includes lighter basketball banter about Larry Bird, Tyrese Haliburton, unusually tall players, and Robert Wadlow of Alton. Iran, Israel, and Political Strategy The hosts and Kataline next discuss Iran, Israel, J.D. Vance, Donald Trump, Benjamin Netanyahu, and possible political strategy leading into the midterm elections. Kataline says she was concerned by earlier criticism of Israel but wonders whether some public positioning might be part of a larger strategy involving Iran and Gulf states. The participants repeatedly acknowledge that they are speculating about Trump's plans, timing, military threats, diplomacy, and the possibility of Iranian surrender. Kataline is highly pessimistic that Iran's leadership will deal honestly with the West and refers to religious beliefs about martyrdom and the Twelve Imams. The segment then shifts to a Boy George song supporting Israel and Jewish people, which deeply moves Kataline. She expresses gratitude toward non-Jews who support Israel and describes Jewish people as "canaries in the mineshaft" whose treatment can foreshadow wider dangers. Islam, Communism, Sharia, and Cultural Conflict In a later segment, the group discusses a social-media post claiming that Islam and communism have been among history's most destructive ideological forces. Kataline argues that leftist politics, communism, and Islamist movements can temporarily cooperate because each sees the other as useful in weakening existing institutions. The hosts play an audio clip from an Iranian political refugee in Canada who says he has lived under Islamic law and fears growing accommodation of Islamist demands. Kataline extends the discussion to refugees from communist countries who recognize political patterns they believe resemble the systems they escaped. The group also discusses hijabs, burqas, Sharia law, and masking, framing compulsory covering as a loss of identity or a symbol of submission. These broad claims about religions, ideologies, political parties, and social groups are the speakers' own interpretations and are preserved as such rather than presented as neutral conclusions. Health, Uncertainty, and the Butterfly Effect Amid the political discussion, Vic describes a recent headache and elevated blood pressure, saying his wife checked him and that he contacted his doctor and oncologist. Karen urges him not to be macho about medical symptoms and to seek professional attention. A subsequent discussion of a reported death becomes a broader point about how quickly people adopt conspiracy theories before reliable information is available, with both Vic and Karen defending the value of simply saying, "I don't know," when facts are uncertain. The episode then closes on a personal reflection prompted by Good Morning, Vietnam and Robin Williams' portrayal of radio broadcaster Adrian Cronauer entertaining American servicemen. Vic becomes emotional describing the moment when the broadcaster realizes how much his voice means to soldiers who may never return home, connecting it to the uncertainty radio hosts often feel about whether anyone is truly affected by what they say. Karen tells him that meaningful work can touch people even when the person doing it never sees the reaction, while Vic contrasts radio with his earlier work as a cake artist, where customers' responses were immediate. Kataline invokes the "butterfly effect" as a metaphor for the unseen influence of words, ending the conversation with appreciation for the ways people can affect and change one another for the better.

Dominic Carter tackles the growing cultural and legal divides splitting America. He dives into a Palo Alto school district facing a federal lawsuit after taking students on a mosque field trip where girls were allegedly pressured to wear hijabs and applauds Boy George for standing up for the Jewish community. Plus, a terrifying joint-replacement medication mix-up in Nashville leaves a patient permanently paralyzed, a Florida Democratic nominee goes "cuckoo for Cocoa Puffs" over drag shows, and Dominic recounts a face-to-face meeting with Michael Jackson.

You're listening to American Ground Radio with Louis R. Avalone and Stephen Parr. This is the full show for August 12, 2026. We open with a legal argument that's hard to stomach: attorneys for the man accused of killing Charlie Kirk are reportedly arguing that the death penalty shouldn't be on the table because their client hit exactly who he was aiming for. We dig into why that "good marksman" defense doesn't hold up, why Utah's aggravating-factor standard for capital punishment matters here, and why the shooter's own alleged written admissions make the legal argument feel especially hollow. In our Top 3 things you need to know, we cover Karoline Leavitt's announced departure as White House Press Secretary at the end of August so she can focus on her young family, a sprawling marriage fraud case out of New York involving thousands of fake marriages tied to immigration fraud, and the latest CPI numbers showing inflation ticking up just 0.1% in July even as gas prices climb back in August. From there we dig into public assistance fraud enforcement, why the states doing the least to stop it seem to have the most of it, and how fear of being labeled racist keeps some officials from confronting fraud head-on, using Nick Shirley's on-the-ground reporting in Somali immigrant communities as our jumping-off point. Our American Mama, Teri Netterville, tackles cell phone bans for kids beyond the classroom, from little league teams banning phones before games to Louisiana and Florida's in-school bans, and what the research and real-life results are showing about kids reconnecting face-to-face. Our Bright Spot celebrates Karoline Leavitt's tenure as press secretary and the choice she's making to prioritize motherhood, a decision that's anything but a step down. We dig deep into Tuesday's primary results across the country, from the South Carolina Senate runoff to fill Lindsey Graham's seat, to Wisconsin's tight governor's race, to Minnesota's Senate and governor primaries, and what each contest could mean for control of Congress this fall. We also weigh in on an Indiana Fever coach's viral comments about unity and love in the WNBA, and a second Bright Spot on musician Five for Fighting's John Ondrasik publicly defending Boy George after backlash over his song honoring October 7th victims. In our Moment of Whoa, we look at a Massachusetts proposal to create a permanent, taxpayer-funded state commission devoted to one religion, and what that means for equal treatment under the law. And we close with Words of Wisdom on standing up for what's right. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

When Boy George released an AI-generated reggae Zionist fight song last month, I was not shocked. That's only because the 1980s queer pop icon and “Karma Chameleon” singer quietly directed his ire at me (ME!) a few months earlier. How did such a legendary countercultural figure resort to… whatever this is? Today, we're telling a bizarre story of fame, crime, geopolitics, and artificial intelligence. A lot of artificial intelligence. George Michael, as the decidedly superior 80s gay pop singer from across the pond, we salute you. Listen to bonus episodes on Patreon! Thanks to today's sponsors!

We ontkennen virulent antisemitisme, we ontkennen de toenemende dominantie van de islam, we doen net alsof niet-compatibele culturen naast elkaar kunnen bestaan en we laten via DEI allerlei charlatans toe op belangrijke posities. “Europa lijkt in een massa-psychose te verkeren”, zegt opiniemaker Wierd Duk in een nieuwe aflevering van de podcast Het Land van Wierd Duk. Duk waarschuwt: “In de Sovjet-Unie en in de jaren 30 in Duitsland werd men ook massaal slachtoffer van propaganda.” Verder in de podcast: is Rusland de oorlog in Oekraïne wérkelijk aan het verliezen? En: hoe Boy George het hoofd biedt aan antisemieten.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We are pleased to report that the Housewives curse is alive and well! Real Housewife of Beverly Hills Dorit Kemsley has hit the ultimate rough patch with her husband of a decade, the potentially shady British businessman Paul 'PK' Kemsley. What was initially billed as a separation in 2024 became what was billed as an amicable divorce filing in 2025, but things have gone sharply downhill from there. In this episode, we meet Dorit and PK, as well Boy George, and learn a bit about the mystery of the Kemsley's money. Sponsors Upgrade your every day!

A rare audio interview with Dame Katy (transcript below) in which she bares ALLWe're backstage at DKD's one womxn show, in the Barnsley British Region for injured and infirm trans womxn veteransJulie – it's you! They said there was a lady wanting to see me.(Shouts to security) I say Doreen - this ain't no lady - its Julie! Tell her carer we'll be 5 minutes max!Dame Katy, I am beside myself with excitement, here I am in the venue, with a few of my lezzer friends, Talking about how brilliant it is the hour 1970s fashion choices now appear to be briefly trendy again, and I realise it's you on the bill! I was told it was a Lynyrd Skynyrd tribute.You were lucky to get past Doreen, Julie. I've just taken her on. She used to work for Chappell Roan but sadly she was a bit too heavy handed. I blame the parents, Doreen wasn't to know that kiddie had brittle bone disease - a head lock never did me no harm!I'd offer you a drink Julie but it looks like you've had enough! It's so good to see you & always in that trusty cardi. What I've always said about you Julie is that you don't give in to trends. Everyone's jabbing away with the Ozempic and here's you looking like you've spent a fortnight on an all inclusive in Benidorm. You're not in the family way are you? I told you to steer clear of Pisshead Pat!So I'm guessing you're wanting another exclusive? Book sales flagging? I was sorry to hear about your last effort. The vicar said it was a book he couldn't wait to put down! Oh by the way I saw your ex husband the other week, that James Dreyfus, he was outside Bargain Booze scratching around the bins trying to bum a fag. He said he'd do owt for £20 so I've got him coming to do the gutters next week.Julie:Thank you Dame Katy, can I just say how fabulous you look and what an amazing show! ‘Puppetry of the Shenis'. Who knew your meat and two veg could be so ambidextrous!DKD:Its attracting rave reviews Julie! There was a queue around the block on press night. You couldn't move for celebrities - I was literally beating off a well known boy band desperate to see a glimpse of my opening. It all started one night when I was watching Channel 4 and this lady, (sporting one of Cher's old wigs and a cheap blouse), was playing the keyboard with her micro penis - the crowd were lapping it up! Well I thought to myself, I've got a least 5 inches on her and if that's what passes for entertainment these days then sign me up!Fast forward a few months and here we are! It's a 2 part show Julie, first half I do impressions with my shenis - Donald Trump, Noel Edmonds, Bob Marley - my ‘No Woman No Cry' leaves folk speechless. Then second half I do expressionist dance to the Greatest Hits of Eurovision - I saw your little eyes light up when I whipped off my skirt during ‘Making Your Mind Up' and you got to see my ‘Ding A Dong'. There's a lot of talk of me transferring to Broadway - mind you, its' me whose doing all the talking!Julie:What about politics Dame Katy. You were strongly rumoured to be standing in the next election.DKD:Standing? Is that a cheap dig? Anyway, it's just a rumour Julie. Granted, I am one of the most impotent voices in queer politics right now but I saw how them Brighton gays treated poor Eddie Izzard. Apparently they saw her as just a joke candidate with a pink beret and a pair of plastic tits. Can you imagine if I won? Working in the House of Parliament? I could end up having a heated three way with Nigel Farage & Zack Polanski (Again!). I haven't got the time anyway Julie, I'm helping out an old friend whose fallen on bad times. You remember that ex P.A turned struggling author pal of mine?Julie:JK Rowling?DKD:She who must not be named! Yes, well she's only been telling folk her little wizarding hustle is being turned into a TV series. You've got to laugh! It'll be like ‘Eldorado' all over again. She's a complete fantasist! But I said I'd help her out with the scripts so I've added a new character into the mix to get the green haired they/them brigade back on side. It's a new Hogwarts Teacher who takes the Gender Queer Studies classes. She's trans, she's a doctor, a Pride of Britain award winner and an ex model.As the series progresses, she takes centre stage with her magical powers - she can literally turn men into women just by saying it! Can you believe that? I know it's a bit far fetched - it makes Stranger Things look like a documentary, but I reckon it will be a big hit with the LGBTQOMDU2+ community who enjoy living in a world of make believe. Some say TV has got too woke and we shouldn't keep on forcing this queer manifesto down people's throats, but I'm not complaining!Julie:I don't know where you find the time Dame Katy. Million selling books, charity endeavours, script writing, cabaret shows... is there no start to your talents?DKDI surprise myself Julie! And you won't believe this - the Royal Mail's been in touch wanting to commemorate me on a stamp! My head literally being licked by thousands! Then there's I'm A Celebrity Get Me Out of Here - but do I really want to be dropped into overgrown Australian bush? I bet you wouldn't say no Julie! I'll give it some thought; the money's good but its them challenges that put me off - dark confined spaces, putting dodgy stuff in my mouth - I'm getting flashbacks to the toilets in Heaven 1997! Plus I wouldn't want to risk them putting Boy George back on the show; his luxury item would be a radiator and I'd spend the next 3 week handcuffed to it like some trans Terry Waite!JulieDid you hear the news about your arch nemesis, Lynsay Watson?DKDHear the news? I nearly laughed my bollocks off seeing her being bundled into the back of that Police van, Julie. Absolute state of it. I thought they were nicking Meatloaf at first! Worzel Gummidge's hair was in better nick than that! I've seen some photo filters do some heavy lifting but that's just taking the piss - proof positive that the camera does lie and you can polish a turd! To think she used to be a copper; I bet her helmet was always filthy! But I don't hold a grudge Julie. Someone with skin that looks like the surface of Mars should be pitied really. Plus I'm not a vengeful woman (god strike down anyone one says I am), I've even bought a special chair for her, just needs a few hundred volts putting through it.**knock at the door**I don't get a minute to myself. If that's Fat Tony wanting to borrow 20 grand again they'll be hell to pay. I've got to be up early as they've invited me back on Woman's Hour to discuss the sticky subject of female sperm - apparently folk are resistant to talk about it as it always leaves a nasty taste in the mouth.Watch how you go Julie, there's a man in a beat up old Fiat 500 in the car park, I reckon he sleeps in it. Looks like the lovechild of Jimmy Saville with bad hair plugs, ranting and foaming at the mouth. Tells anyone that listens that he used to read the news on TV - I said ‘yeah, and I shagged Trevor McDonald!'.....Doreen if you could see Julie out, AFTER she's put my purse back!

Trump's Reflecting Pool Claims, Gun Violence & Boy George's Israel Controversy Another deadly weekend in America—and another mass shooting followed by familiar arguments but few meaningful solutions. Three people are dead, five are injured, and an armed civilian reportedly helped bring the standoff to an end. What does this incident reveal about gun access, public safety and America's seemingly endless cycle of violence? Karel also examines Donald Trump's claims about alleged vandalism at the Lincoln Memorial Reflecting Pool. Were people maliciously prosecuted based on a false political narrative? What roles did the White House, Trump's press secretary and Republican senators play—and will anyone be held accountable? Then, Boy George is facing backlash over a pro-Israel song that critics say dismisses allegations of genocide and suggests victims deserved their fate. Is this artistic freedom, inflammatory political messaging—or a moment when the artist should have read the room? Join Karel for candid commentary on Trump, political misinformation, gun violence, accountability, Israel and the controversies shaping today's headlines.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for July 31, 2026. We open with President Trump pointing to the migrant crisis in Spain's North African territory of Ceuta as a warning for the United States. Tens of thousands of migrants overwhelmed the small Spanish enclave in a single day, straining law enforcement and leaving dozens dead. We compare the scenes from Spain to what Americans witnessed at the southern border during the Biden administration, discuss why Trump believes voters need to remember those images before the next election, and examine how quickly both the media and the public forget just how chaotic the border became. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, the Texas Stock Exchange officially begins trading in Dallas, marking another step in the financial migration away from New York. Then U.S. Attorney Jeanine Pirro moves to dismiss vandalism charges against former Olympian Davey Hearn after new evidence showed damage to the National Mall reflecting pool was caused by faulty construction rather than criminal activity. And President Trump announces the Freedom Haulers initiative, designed to help military veterans transition into commercial trucking while replacing foreign truck drivers with qualified American veterans. We also discuss Boy George's decision to release a song honoring the victims of the October 7th Hamas attack on Israel—and the backlash that followed. After publicly supporting Israel and condemning terrorism, Boy George was dropped from a production of Jesus Christ Superstar. We examine how standing with victims of terrorism has become controversial in parts of the entertainment world and what that says about today's cultural climate. Our American Mamas, Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson, answer a listener question about friends who always strike up conversations with strangers. What starts as a lighthearted discussion turns into a funny look at how getting older seems to remove any fear of awkward conversations, why some people can't resist complimenting complete strangers in the grocery store, and whether younger generations raised on technology will lose that habit altogether. We dig into new membership data from the Democratic Socialists of America showing that only four percent of its members work in blue-collar jobs, despite the organization's constant claims to represent the working class. We contrast the rhetoric with the reality before turning to Houston, where Texas' state takeover of the Houston Independent School District transformed 121 failing schools into zero failing schools in just over three years. We examine why some critics still refuse to celebrate one of the most dramatic education turnarounds in the country. We also cover Maine Democratic Senate candidate Troy Jackson's unusual family story before another round of Fake News Friday, featuring everything from the Alamo to WNBA betting controversies and some headlines that are just bizarre enough to sound believable. And we close with 88-year-old Libby Downey, who has already spent decades serving her community as a nurse, city council member, and volunteer—but decided it was finally time to pursue a lifelong dream. This fall she'll begin law school with plans to become a mediator after graduation, proving it's never too late to start the next chapter. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

Welcome back to Seasoned Sessions! This week, Ada & Dean discuss the awful Boy George song, Children of Blood and Bone drama, trad wives, & has this summer felt longer than usual.

Welcome to The Reel Schmooze with ToI film reviewer Jordan Hoffman and host Amanda Borschel-Dan, where we bring you all the entertainment news and film reviews a Jew can use. We have two Jangles this week. Borschel-Dan explains how Boy George released a reggae-inspired track, titled “Od Nirkod” in Hebrew, "We Will Dance Again," on his social media accounts on Monday. The duo chews this over. Hoffman is still jazzed from a Phish show he had seen the previous night. He brings us a fascinating and statistically rare sound sample. The main feature this week is Billy Wilder's 1944 "Double Indemnity," which is considered by many -- including our very own movie maven -- as one of the best pieces of film noir to date. Wilder was born in 1906 in Sucha, Galicia, today's Poland, to a Jewish family. He moved as a boy to Vienna, eventually working as a journalist and screenwriter, and moved to Paris as the Nazis rose to power. By 1934, he had made his way to Hollywood and begun working on films. Last week, Hoffman dared Borschel-Dan to find the Jewish themes of this week's film. Set in 1938, "Double Indemnity" probes the banality of evil even as Wilder's own family was being massacred in Nazi Europe. Wilder won the first of his seven Oscars for the film, which stars Fred MacMurray, Barbara Stanwyck and the Jewish actor Edward Goldenberg Robinson (born Emanuel Goldenberg). Let’s hear who gave this film an “oy,” “meh” or the prized “not bad” this week on The Reel Schmooze. The Reel Schmooze is produced by Ari Schlacht and can be found wherever you get your podcasts.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

In this week's LGBTQ+ headlines: • Boy George has withdrawn from the upcoming 'Jesus Christ Superstar' revival in the West End • A memorandum just made public details Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth's demands of Scouting America in order to continue the Pentagon's longstanding support • Anti-LGBTQ billboards in Ohio were met with a wave of pushback from locals • And new music from the country music super group The Cowgays All that and more in this episode of The Randy Report.

This week on Without A Country, Corinne Fisher covers an enormous slate of political, true crime, and cultural stories, beginning with shocking allegations surrounding Costco's chicken supply chain, she then discusses the tragic murder of influencer Sara Gilson (Sarah Duffy) after she publicly accused her estranged husband of sexually abusing a minor. The centerpiece of the episode is an in-depth breakdown of the ongoing Lindsay Clancy trial, and, more specifically postpartum psychosis. Corinne also dives into the explosive BBC investigation into Jared Leto, discussing decades of allegations involving teenage girls and celebrity power. The show continues with updates on the mysterious death of Nolan Wells, as well as another suspicious death involving a young Black woman that has received far less national attention. Later, Corinne examines Daniel Ortega's announcement that Nicaragua will no longer hold democratic elections before reacting to newly released body-camera footage in the fatal police shooting of an unarmed teenager in Austin. The episode wraps up with a discussion of newly released material from Anthony Fauci's personal diaries and Elon Musk's latest AI lawsuit.

This show invites a dedicated community of "Midnight Misfits" to share wildly unfiltered conversations while the rest of the world sleeps. Expect an unpredictable mix of deeply personal confessions—from disastrous four-day blind dates and dating women with five separate personalities, to heartwarming reflections on a 38-year marriage and the joys of raising an autistic child. Sprinkled with random debates over Boy George's Broadway flops, WWII veterans who root for Godzilla, and wild conspiracy theories about ancient nuclear wars on Mars.

Why was there no press conference after Prime Minister Netanyahu's White House meeting with President Trump, and what happened behind those closed doors? This week on Israel Undiplomatic, Mark Regev and Ruthie Blum unpack the growing speculation surrounding the Trump-Netanyahu meeting and why the real battle over Tehran's nuclear program may be entering a decisive new phase.

From the moment we saw the video for "Do You Really Want To Hurt Me?" on MTV, we can say there was no one who looked, dressed, or sounded like Boy George. There was also the music, which touched on Pop, Soul, and Reggae. Even through all the mania that surrounded the band, we never quite understood who they were and where they came from, until now. Director Alison Ellwood previously tackled the official story on the Eagles, Cyndi Lauper, and The Go-Go's. She now takes on Boy George and Culture Club, and there is a lot to unpack as she steps into our virtual studio to reveal all she learned in this new documentary, currently streaming everywhere.

On today's episode of Juicy Scoop, I am breaking down the absolute shocker that Jelly Roll and Bunnie XO are divorcing! Is this split completely manufactured, or was the whole marriage a total sham from the start? I'm also diving into the Father's Day social media madness, calling out which celebrities actually celebrated their former husbands and baby daddies, who chose total radio silence, and who pulled it off the best. Then, we need to talk about Million Dollar Nannies, a wild new reality show that has me completely stunned that these supposedly wealthy parents are willingly exploiting their private lives and their own children just for a fleeting taste of TV fame. I am so excited to be joined by the hilarious TikTok sensation Evan Lazarus, who blew up by masterfully recapping Bethenny Frankel's unhinged social media presence; plus, he's dishin' all about his personal ties to the Real Housewives of Rhode Island and that infamous mistress who completely hijacked the entire season. Finally, we're covering Boy George inserting himself into Dorit and PK's split, Lisa Vanderpump making nice with PK, the shocking allegations surrounding Milania Giudice's domestic violence arrest, and whether Teresa's new book cover is totally AI-generated! -Elevate your summer wardrobe.  Head to quince.com/juicy  for free shipping on your order and 365-day returns. -If you're ready to finally sleep great and feel like yourself again, head to bioptimizers.com/juicyscoop and use my exclusive code JUICYSCOOP to get 15% off any order.
