Kurt Elling returns for a wide-ranging conversation about vocation, gratitude, and what it means to be in service of the music. Elling first appeared on The Third Story nearly ten years ago, already one of the most celebrated singers of his generation and still deeply focused on what he calls "the work I haven't done yet." Since then, he has moved from New York back to his native Chicago, launched major projects like SuperBlue with Charlie Hunter and members of Butcher Brown, recorded intimate small-group albums in the Wildflowers series of recordings, started his Big Shoulders record label, and continued his "poetic practice" of adding new lyrics to instrumental works by artists such as Wayne Shorter and Jaco Pastorius. The immediate occasion for this reunion, however, is something entirely new: Elling is currently appearing on Broadway in Hadestown, playing the role of Hermes. Recorded in an apartment on the Upper West Side during his Broadway run, the conversation moves fluidly between jazz clubs and civic life. Elling speaks candidly about depression, aging, discipline, politics, and the moral responsibility of artists in unsettled times. Throughout, he returns to a central idea: the artist's job is not ego or display, but manifestation — to channel the song so something healing can happen in the room. www.third-story.com www.leosidran.substack.com www.wbgo.org/podcast/the-third-story

Episode 374: BUCKWILD "On Producing for Biggie, D.I.T.C., and Shaping the NY Sound" This week on @RoadPodcast, we sit down with legendary producer @buckwild_ditc as he traces his full arc as a producer, starting with how he met Goldfinger at (01:14) and how tracks like Rakim's “You Got Soul” at (05:10) pushed him toward beat making. The crew dives into the Roosevelt Room record convention at (13:10), where Pete Rock, Large Pro, Q Tip, Capri and others found the records that shaped classic hip hop, with Goldfinger adding his perspective at (23:45). They break down the core of the New York sound at (15:10), covering O.C.'s “Times Up” and the four to eight bar sample loop that defined 1994 and NYC. Buckwild speaks on digging for fresh textures at (25:01), the origins of Digging In The Crates, and how he used the “Seed of Love” sample before Just Blaze flipped it for Jay Z on “Public Service Announcement,” then explains how he met O.C. at (19:50). He runs through his top five productions at (39:00), breaks down why he insists on being in the studio during recording sessions at (22:01), and gets into the realities of clearing samples. The Biggie stories land at the center of the episode at (26:14). The conversation shifts into whether 2025 is a strong year for hip hop but a tough one for clubs at (32:51), why one-liners and real bars feel missing, and when the culture changed at (41:11) as labels downsized and the SoundCloud era took over. Buckwild reflects on chasing hits at (57:10), the story behind “Whoa!,” the beats Jay Z passed on, and what it meant to miss those records erupting in the club. The episode closes with thoughts on Saigon's album at (1:00:51) and why a DITC compilation would be difficult to assemble at (1:11:01).

In this episode of Misery Loves Mandy, Mandy kicks off 2026 by unpacking the holiday highs and lows — and a jacket that sparked some unexpected comments.She shares:

HBO's Industry is back this week and we couldn't be more excited! Myha'la Herrold joins senior editor Marley Marius and fashion writer Hannah Jackson on Vogue's podcast to bring us up to speed on what her character Harper Stern is in for in season four. “The end of season three is very much her being like, “I'm gonna be my own boss.” This is the time when she truly breaks away,” says Myha'la. Each season of the show, Myha'la works with the showrunners Konrad Kay and Mickey Down to use Harper's hair to tell a story of where the character  is at in her life and this season is no different. “She's at the top of her game and she's going harder than she's ever gone before. And I was like, well obviously it's gotta be the micro braids with the human hair,” says Myhala on her season four look. "It's gotta be the most expensive, probably the most high maintenance, the most difficult thing and the most elevated version of Harper.”  Great care went into creating Harper's wardrobe this season as Costume Designer Laura K. Smith created a power suit to set the tone for the character.  “We always trade boards like I was sending her pictures of Celine and YSL," reflects Myha'la.“That first shot that we see Harper is in a gray three-piece suit. It is a custom designed and custom made suit by Laura for Harper,” says Myha'la. “[Laura] was like, I want this to be like the hero piece for her closet and for her to be able to mix and match.”Myha'la takes a trip down memory lane and talks about fronting a Christian rock-band in high school and talks about her love of musicals and her dream role of playing Elle Woods in Legally Blonde on Broadway. “I'm manifesting.” says Myha'la. “I sing everything but my favorite genre is definitely musical theater. If anyone is looking for a five foot one, available, black baddie who lives in New York, cast me!” Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

In this special New Year episode, Jenny and Toni sit down to reflect on a year that felt both impossibly long and shockingly fast. 2025 brought duality, growth, intentional rest, and some of the most meaningful work in PATHPod history. Together, they revisit the moments, conversations, and collaborations that shaped the year — and share a glimpse of what's ahead for 2026.Highlights from Our 2025 Journey Two major PATH retreats — thoughtfully designed, deeply restorative, and filled with community, creativity, and courage. A season of intentional simplification — fewer episodes, more space, and a renewed commitment to “allowing” rather than over‑doing. Behavior‑change in real time — how trimming, focusing, and negotiating priorities mirrored the work we guide our clients through. Solo episodes from Campbell — Toni's community‑rooted conversations during a season when both hosts were navigating big family milestones. Trademarking PATH Positive Approaches to Health — a huge milestone that stretched both hosts into new, uncomfortable, and empowering territory. A powerful fall lineup — inspiring guests, innovative approaches, and rich conversations that carried us through the last quarter of the year. Teaching Kitchen Collaborative SymposiumJenny and Toni share reflections from the December Teaching Kitchen Collaborative Symposium at 1440 Multiversity — a gathering filled with innovation, systems‑level thinking, and a deep sense of community. Key themes included: The expanding role of teaching kitchens in healthcare and community settings Collaboration across chefs, clinicians, educators, and policy leaders Sustainability, resourcefulness, and redefining what a “teaching kitchen” can be Reconnecting with past PATHPod guests and forging new partnerships Celebrating Our GuestsFrom Dr. Jessica's spotlight episode to the inspiring conversation with Maggie Doyne, the final months of 2025 delivered some of the most meaningful stories and strategies we've shared on PATHPod.Music, Metaphors & MeaningAs always, Toni brings her signature soundtrack — songs that capture the spirit of the year, the joy of collaboration, and the magic of showing up. From Phil Collins to Roberta Flack to Broadway classics, the playlist becomes a playful, heartfelt reflection of the PATHPod journey.Looking Ahead to 2026The new year brings a fresh theme, new energy, and another “opening of another show.” With seasons, seasoning, and the ongoing evolution of PATHPod, Jenny and Toni step into 2026 with gratitude, curiosity, and a renewed commitment to helping listeners build their own positive approaches to health.

Christiani Pitts stops by to chat about her journey from playing a scene stealing cow in a church nativity play to leading Broadway blockbusters. She shares a hilarious story about how a miscommunication led to her performing stand up comedy at a nightclub at age eleven for an event associated with Dave Chappelle, and how her parents supported her dreams while navigating the tricky world of early industry scams. We dive deep into her experience starring in King Kong, discussing the technical insanity of acting opposite a massive puppet and how she manifested doing an action movie on stage. She also opens up about her current role in Two Strangers (Carry a Cake Across New York), exploring how the show handles mental health with subtle physicality, the "simplistically complex" set design, and the joy of balancing life as a Broadway star and a mom to a daughter who thinks she is also in the cast. Christiani Pitts is a history making performer who received critical acclaim playing Anne Darrow in the Broadway production of King Kong.

When Superfair curator Sharone Halevy was in high school, success meant fame, money, and Broadway. Looking back, she thinks she may have been blinded by ambition. "I was not a good friend as a kid. I think I was not a good listener. I had friends, obviously, and one of them is still my friend to this day... and I've learned a lot from that friendship over time."In this episode of our series 'Failing Up', Sharone sits down with her high school best friend, actor Jason Gotay, to trace the trajectory of their ideas about success and failure. Jason Gotay is an actor and teaching artist born and raised in Brooklyn, New York. His credits are wide ranging, but to name just a few – he made his Broadway debut in the original company of Bring It On: The Musical and starred in HBO's reboot of Gossip Girl.

Judson prepares to celebrate his birthday. Brian attends his daughter's first fashion show as a designer. Judson clarifies what he means when he uses the term “Duck Toast” to describe a man's physique. Brian provides an update on the effect Lexapro is having on his sexual performance. The Hookup of the Week follows the international adventures of a listener who has opened his marriage after more than 20 years. Brian and Judson are then joined by Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle and NY Drama Critics Circle awards-winning comedy writer for stage and screen, Robert Horn. Robert shares incredible stories from throughout his life, ranging from the time he set his home on fire as a child to the underground way in which he maintained contact with his sister after they were sent to separate orphanages, to his sexual awakening while at the orphanage, to the impact the Big Brothers Big Sisters organization made on his life. He tells them about his move to Manhattan where he made money any way he could–legal or not, his move to Los Angeles where his TV writing career took off, and his most recent chapter writing hit after hit on Broadway and the West End. Robert talks about his marriage to his true southern gentleman husband John, his thoughts on the evolution of queer culture, and the challenges of aging as a gay man. To close, Robert helps Brian and Judson respond to a Go Ask Your Dad question from a listener who continues to fall for straight men and wants help putting a stop to the pattern.

Sean Mason stands as one of the most compelling jazz pianists, composers, and record producers of his generation. A Grammy Award nominee, Bessie Award winner, and Bistro Award recipient, Mason has quickly distinguished himself in contemporary music through his innovative approach and profound connection to jazz tradition. His discography, highlighted by his critically acclaimed 2023 debut album The Southern Suite and Grammy-nominated collaborations, reflects an artist of significant impact on the global jazz landscape. Mason's musical journey began at age 13 in his native Charlotte, North Carolina, where he taught himself piano, influenced by gospel music and the music of Ray Charles. At 15, his talent led him to enroll in the JazzArts Initiative Camp in Charlotte, North Carolina. At age 17, Mason won the inaugural Loonis McGlohon Young Jazz Competition, an award that included an opportunity to perform as guest soloist with Delfeayo Marsalis. A pivotal moment arrived in 2017 while Mason was attending the University of North Carolina at Greensboro (UNCG). He met Branford Marsalis, who was giving lessons there. Marsalis, recalling their encounter, recounted how Mason impressed him by quickly learning and memorizing complex pieces. Marsalis subsequently advised Mason to consider The Juilliard School, telling him directly: "You might want to consider Juilliard. Go to their website, put in your audition tape, and they will call you." He also contacted his brother, Wynton Marsalis, Director of Juilliard Jazz, asking him to "Be on the lookout for this kid." This significant endorsement propelled Mason to Juilliard, where he was accepted and enrolled in 2018, leading to his relocation to New York City for his studies. Upon arriving in New York in 2018, Mason quickly established himself in the city's jazz scene through his work as a sideman. Concurrently, he formed his own trio, featuring bassist Butler Knowles and drummer Malcolm Charles. This trio performed at notable New York City jazz venues such as Dizzy's Club and Smoke Jazz Club. From 2019 to early 2020, Mason's trio cultivated a dedicated following through a consistent after-hours residency at Smalls Jazz Club, performing every other Monday, from 1:00 AM to 4:00 AM. This residency continued until the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic. During this initial period in New York, Mason also contributed as the pianist for the soundtrack of the 2020 Netflix film Ma Rainey's Black Bottom. The years following the pandemic saw Mason continue his vital work as a sideman, touring globally with various artists and contributing to numerous album recordings. His versatility expanded into film and theatre; he served as pianist for the soundtrack of the 2021 Emmy-nominated History Channel documentary Tulsa Burning: The 1921 Race Massacre, and the Netflix film Rustin. In theatre, Mason was involved in various musical roles for Broadway productions such as Hadestown and Phantom of the Opera.. During this time, Mason also served as musical director for The Soapbox Presents, a Harlem-based performing arts organization. In August 2022, Mason was recognized by NPR's Jazz Night in America as a member of their inaugural Youngbloods class, a sub-series featuring up-and-coming jazz musicians acknowledged for revolutionizing the genre. Also in 2022, Mason formed his quintet, the ensemble featured on his debut album The Southern Suite. This group, consisting of Tony Glausi (trumpet), Chris Lewis (tenor saxophone), Felix Moseholm (bass), and Domo Branch (drums), performed on a two-week tour sponsored and presented by Jazz at Lincoln Center as part of an initiative to develop new music. On October 27, 2023, he released his debut album as a leader, The Southern Suite, on Blue Engine Records, Jazz at Lincoln Center's in-house label. This marks Mason's emergence as a formidable bandleader, composer, and recording artist. Featuring his quintet, the album received widespread critical acclaim. Jazziz Magazine praised its "captivating blend of sophistication and raw emotion," noting its "contemporary jazz sound rooted in tradition while remaining utterly fresh." Paris-Move lauded it as "a powerful and sophisticated work" and "a masterpiece of contemporary jazz." NPR recognized the album as part of his "meteoric rise" and praised its unique sound. The Southern Suite is a deeply personal exploration of Mason's North Carolina roots, woven into a cohesive artistic statement. Mason's artistic contributions were further recognized with a Bessie Award in 2023 for Outstanding Sound Design and Music Composition for his work on The Jazz Continuum. His creative spirit continued to flourish in 2024 with two notable co-releases. He joined forces with poet Mahogany L. Browne for Chrome Valley, a project that uniquely blends jazz with spoken word. The same year, on August 23, 2024, Mason's collaborative album My Ideal with acclaimed vocalist Catherine Russell arrived on Dot Time Records. This duo album quickly earned a Grammy Award nomination for Best Jazz Vocal Album at the 67th Annual Grammy Awards. My Ideal was further honored with a 2025 Bistro Award for Outstanding Recording, with critics frequently commending Mason's "sophisticated and nuanced piano playing" and his profound ability to complement Russell's vocals through a deep understanding of jazz standards. Today, Sean Mason maintains an active and extensive international performance schedule as a bandleader and solo artist. He consistently presents at major jazz festivals and prestigious venues across the globe, solidifying his position as a dynamic and influential force in contemporary jazz.

Hamilton's brilliant director Thomas Kail helps me wrap up the podcast with two thoughtful, insightful, and sweet episodes. Tommy is known as "The Architect" and I'm telling you, the guy lives up to the title and then some. This week T.Kail unpacks a lot of the HamilTen celebrations and how they came to be, including how they landed on the decision to release the Hamilfilm in movie theaters, his profound experience with the original cast reuniting for the Tony Awards, and Leslie Odom Jr.'s reprising Aaron Burr in Hamilton on Broadway.  Tommy also talks a lot about editing the Hamilton film (or as he calls it, his love letter to the original company) and how incredibly moving it was to watch it with them at the famous Delacorte Theater, under a full moon.  Plus, we gush about Freestyle Love Supreme and the episode ends on a very rare cliffhanger! I don't know if that's ever happened on the pod but I explain why at the end of the episode. It's nothing crazy, it's mostly a timing issue, but here we are! This episode was recorded in November of 2025 at WTF Media Studios in Manhattan and produced with Natalie Grillo from Any Moment Productions in collaboration with Meghan Miles. #124: Thomas Kail // Part One (2018) #125: Thomas Kail // Part Two (2018) #230: Jonah Moran // #HamilFilm Editor // Part One #231: Jonah Moran // #HamilFilm Editor // Part Two #232: Jonah Moran // #HamilFilm Editor // Part Three Freestyle Love Supreme Freestyle Love Supreme on The Hamilcast Moondrunk - "My Words" /// Gillian's Website The Hamilcast on TikTok The Hamilcast on Instagram Join the Patreon Peeps

Michelle Williams is currently starring in an off-Broadway production of the Pulitzer Prize-winning play '"Anna Christie." The show centers around Anna, a former sex worker and famous character in the history of American theater. The show's director Thomas Kail ("Hamilton"), who also happens to be Williams's husband, and actors Brian d'Arcy James, who playsChris Christopherson, and Mare Winningham who plays Marthy Owen, discuss their production of "Anna Christie," running at St. Ann's Warehouse in Brooklyn through February 1.

This episode of Kliq This wastes no time setting the tone. Kevin Nash and Sean Oliver come in hot, questioning the rituals people pretend still matter and poking holes in the way grown adults convince themselves certain days are special. The conversation immediately makes it clear that this is not a celebration episode. It is a reality check delivered with zero patience. From there, the show spirals into the kind of unpredictable territory listeners expect but never quite anticipate. Cultural habits, public hypocrisy, and modern obsessions are dissected in a way that feels reckless on the surface and oddly precise underneath. The humor lands because it is rooted in lived experience, not hot takes for clicks. The episode also taps into how technology, media, and trends quietly reshape behavior without anyone stopping to ask why. The discussion veers into places most podcasts would never touch, blending uncomfortable truths with offhand jokes that linger longer than expected. It is the kind of segment that makes listeners laugh first and then pause afterward. As the episode unfolds, Nash brings perspective that only comes from decades in wrestling, entertainment, and watching cycles repeat themselves. Observations about performers, audiences, and what actually matters when the lights are on cut through nostalgia and online noise. There is an underlying question throughout about what draws money versus what just draws reactions. By the end, the episode feels less like a recap of topics and more like a snapshot of how these conversations naturally evolve when nothing is off limits. It is loose, opinionated, and unapologetically unfiltered. For listeners who prefer honesty over polish, this one delivers exactly that.

I wanted to start off the year (and the new season of the podcast) with something momentous, and who better to take us there than one of the great operatic artists of the twentieth century: Canadian soprano Teresa Stratas. I have not yet done a full episode on this artist, though she provided me with what was probably my greatest night in the opera house (I get into that in the episode, as well as featuring a rare excerpt of her in that shattering performance). As always with my podcast, I like to provide unexpected glimpses of such a great singer, alongside many of her most legendary moments. So not only do we hear Stratas' legendary interpretations of her favorite roles (Mimì, Mélisande, Lulu, Violetta, and Salome [the latter a role she never portrayed onstage]), we also hear her in Mozart, her favorite composer, as an operetta singer, as an interpreter of Lieder, in her single Broadway role in the short-lived Rags, and in another of her creations, the title role in Australian composer Peggy Glanville-Hicks' Nausicaa, as well as two late career Met roles, Liù and the Komponist, roles she had sung there at the beginning of her career, more than thirty years earlier. Along the way, we hear her with artists who have already been featured in previous seasons (Gabriel Bacquier, Florence Quivar and Fritz Wunderlich), but also singers who will each be featured in the upcoming series of the podcast, including Tom Krause, Wiesław Ochman, Bernd Weikl, Elizabeth Harwood, and Vasile Moldoveanu. Also much discussion also about what makes Stratas unique as an interpreter, and why she deserves to be ranked among the very greatest. Welcome to Season Seven! Countermelody is the podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and author yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

She was born into show business royalty, made her film debut at just 11 weeks old, and grew up surrounded by legends like Noel Coward, Vivien Leigh, Laurence Olivier, and more. On this episode of Still Here Hollywood, Steve Kmetko sits down with the luminous Juliet Mills, the beloved star of Nanny and the Professor, to trace a life and career that spans West End theater, Broadway, classic television, and unforgettable Hollywood collaborators. Juliet shares how her family and upbringing shaped her worldview, why gratitude became one of her guiding principles, and what it was really like stepping into the spotlight as “Nanny” during a time when television was far more “tea and nightgowns” than romance and realism. She also looks back on the global success of the show, her bond with co-star Richard Long, and why she believes the series might have lasted longer if the on-screen relationship had been allowed to evolve. Plus, Juliet tells behind-the-scenes stories from her career highlights, including working with Billy Wilder and Jack Lemmon on Avanti! (yes, the role that required her to gain 35 pounds, a true acting challenge if spaghetti is involved). She also opens up about love, marriage, and fate, as her husband Maxwell Caulfield joins the conversation for a charming, honest look at how their relationship began during The Elephant Man, with a cameo appearance from Natalie Wood in the origin story. If you grew up with Nanny and the Professor, love classic Hollywood, or just want to hear a joyful, thoughtful conversation with an icon who's still full of wonder, this one's for you.

It's another edition of See It or Skip It, and this time Ian is joined by Kev and Megs as they click their heels, defy gravity (again), and head back to Oz for Wicked: For Good — the second chapter of the long-awaited big-screen adaptation of the Broadway phenomenon. But does Wicked: For Good stick the landing, or does splitting the story in two finally come back to haunt it? Ian, Kev, and Megs unpack whether this concluding chapter delivers the emotional payoff fans have been promised — or whether it buckles under the weight of expectation, spectacle, and inevitability. Is the heart still there? Do Elphaba and Glinda's journeys feel earned, devastating, and cathartic — or overly polished and pre-packaged? The trio dig into performances, musical moments, and whether the film earns its big themes about power, friendship, compromise, and legacy. Can a story everyone knows still surprise you? Does For Good justify its existence as a standalone film, or does it feel like the second act stretched to breaking point? All this and more in this week's See It or Skip It review of Wicked: For Good — and of course, Ian, Kev, and Megs will let you know if you should SEE IT or SKIP IT.
