Send us a textThis episode wrecked me in the very best way.On September 11th, 2001, while most of the world was glued to their TVs watching unimaginable horror unfold, Diane Davis was teaching Grade 3 French immersion in Gander, Newfoundland, an airport town of about 10,000 people that would suddenly become home to nearly 7,000 stranded airline passengers.What happened next is the part of the 9/11 story you probably don't know.Diane walks me through those surreal days when 38 planes were diverted to Gander and an entire community quietly, efficiently, and compassionately mobilized. Teachers turned schools into shelters. Bus drivers walked off strike to shuttle passengers. Churches, camps, and tiny outport towns filled trucks with food, bedding, and toothbrushes. Bulletin boards replaced the internet. Tim Hortons boxes became filing systems. No one waited to be told what to do. People just did what they could.Diane's story became part of Come From Away, the Broadway musical inspired by Gander's response to 9/11. Yes, there is literally a character based on her. But what struck me most wasn't the red carpets or the Tony Awards. It was her belief that none of this was extraordinary. It was simply people showing up with whatever skills they had.We also talk about the other side of being a lifelong helper, learning how to receive. Diane shares candidly about her current cancer treatment, the discomfort of accepting support, and how community once again is carrying her through. This conversation is about kindness, grit, humility, and the quiet magic that happens when strangers choose to care for each other.You might cry. I definitely did. And you'll walk away remembering what humans are capable of when we're at our best.What's Inside:What really happened in Gander when thousands of planes were diverted on 9/11How ordinary people self-organized to care for thousands of strangersThe real-life story behind Come From AwayWhy learning to receive help can be just as powerful as giving itSo here's what I want you thinking about after this episode. What does being rich actually mean to you? Is it having more than enough for yourself or being so resourced that you can show up for others without hesitation? Diane's story is a masterclass in emotional wealth, generosity, and community. And look, that kind of life is built one choice at a time.I want to hear from you. What kind of world do you want to help create, and what role do you want to play in it? DM me on Instagram and let's talk about it.

From The Vault: Originally released on September 3, 2024, this was episode 184 with André De Shields who was Old Deuteronomy in PAC's CATS: The Jellicle Ball. CATS: The Jellicle Ball will be transferring to Broadway in March of 2026 and André will be Old Deuteronomy! "A theater is a temple. This is the fourth institution where the five necessary questions are answered. You have to answer a question. You have to resolve a crisis. You have to lift a burden. You have to break a yoke. Take that albatross off the neck of the people who have come for redemption. That's why we come and sit in a dark place with strangers. It's a kind of atonement, right?" This episode features André De Shields who plays Old Deuteronomy in this production. Hear André share his thoughts on the production, how he created his character, and how he views the story of CATS. Plus, André gives a passionate defense for why Grizabella has to be the Jellicle choice in this production.

Kate Baldwin has a way of looking at the industry that is both deeply grounded and incredibly refreshing. She opens up about her approach to playing Roxie Hart in Chicago, describing her version of the character as a "Bad Nellie Forbush" who is just trying to survive. She also shares the fantastic story of how wearing the "wrong" dress to her Hello, Dolly! audition ended up being the perfect choice for Jerry Zaks and helped her find the spine of Irene Molloy. We also dig into the shifts in her personal life and career philosophy since 2020. Kate speaks candidly about letting go of the pressure to be a crossover star in TV and film and instead embracing her true love for musical theater, which she affectionately calls the "Island of Misfit Toys." From the lessons she learned growing up in Wisconsin to the joy of throwing big parties just because she can, this conversation is a celebration of finding out what actually matters to you. Kate Baldwin is a two-time Tony Award nominee for her performances in Finian's Rainbow and Hello, Dolly!, roles that also earned her Drama Desk and Outer Critics Circle Award nominations.

Darlene on Lead Vocals #1 Hit ~ "He's a Rebel" ~ The Crystals #10 Hit ~ "He's Sure the Boy I Love" ~ The Crystals Darlene solo ~ "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" In December 2010, Rolling Stone Magazine ranked "Christmas (Baby Please Come Home)" first on its list of The Greatest Rock and Roll Christmas Song, saying that "nobody can match Love's emotion and sheer vocal power." Several of the classic hit song's she sings backup on: Sam Cooke's ~ "Chain Gang", Bobby "Boris" Pickett ~ "The Monster Mash" "(You're My) Soul and Inspiration" ~ The Righteous Brothers "Walking In The Rain" ~ The Ronettes The Beach Boys ~ "In My Room" "Poor Side of Town" ~ Johnny Rivers "Rock and Roll Lullaby" ~ B.J.

Darlene Love was just a high school sophomore in Los Angeles when she was discovered out of a gospel choir, and asked to join a burgeoning girl group called The Blossoms, who began recording for Phil Specter. Soon thereafter, other artists like Sam Cooke were attracted to her powerful sound, and sought Darlene on their recordings. With The Blossoms and Bob B. Soxx and the Blue Jeans, Darlene sang lead vocals on some of the greatest music hits of the 60's. The Blossoms landed a weekly spot on the landmark television series SHINDIG & Elvis's 1968 Comeback Special and through the 60's and 70's, Darlene continued to perform with and back-up such diverse artists as The Beach Boys, The Mamas & The Papas, Tom Jones, The Righteous Brothers and Sonny & Cher.

Christmas is only a few days away, and we're celebrating with a trio of holiday tales from Broadway - not the world of footlights, chorus lines, and matinee performances, but the seedier side of the street. Our first two tales come from the pen of Damon Runyon. A man is marked for death on Christmas Eve in "Dancing Dan's Christmas" from The Damon Runyon Theatre, and a trio of crooks hunting for lost loot finds a lot more in "Three Wise Guys" from The Whistler (originally aired on CBS on December 24, 1950). Then we'll hear a holiday mystery starring Detective Danny Clover in Broadway is My Beat (originally aired on CBS on December 24, 1949).

Ron Faber (left) and Stephen Stout (right) in Lucky Stiff. Photo by Peter Cunningham. This episode of Settling Scores dives into the delightfully offbeat world of Lucky Stiff, the cult-favorite musical that helped launch the legendary songwriting team of Lynn Ahrens and Stephen Flaherty. With its rapid-fire wit, breakneck(!) farce, and charming score, Lucky Stiff showcases the early sparks of a musical theatre partnership that would go on to create Ragtime, Once on This Island, and Anastasia. We'll attempt to outline the show's wild plot and swoon over some lovely musical moments, all while tracing how Ahrens and Flaherty's unique voice first took shape. Along the way, we unpack behind-the-scenes stories, creative risks, and why this small, zany musical still punches far above its weight. Call it a love letter to joyful absurdity. Perfect for fans who like their Broadway deep dives smart, irreverent...and perhaps a little feisty!

Living Colour's Vivid: When Rock Refused to Play by the RulesWhat happens when a jazz-trained guitar virtuoso teams up with a Broadway-bound singer, adds Mick Jagger as producer, and sets out to demolish the color lines that 1980s radio had drawn around rock music? You get Vivid, Living Colour's 1988 debut that kicked down every door with “Cult of Personality” and then refused to play by anyone's rules.This is an album that proved Black musicians could dominate every corner of rock, from shredding metal to funk grooves to social commentary. It reached number six on the Billboard 200, sold two million copies, and launched a Grammy-winning single that still sounds ahead of its time. If you love the genre-blending creativity of Fishbone, the fearless experimentation of Prince, or the socially conscious hard rock of Rage Against the Machine, this episode explores an essential album that changed what rock could be.Vivid isn't just a great debut album. It's the story of the Black Rock Coalition, Vernon Reid's grassroots movement to challenge the segregation creeping into New York's rock venues and radio stations. At a time when rock stations stopped playing James Brown next to the Rolling Stones, Living Colour asked: why? They answered with an album that opened for the Rolling Stones' Steel Wheels tour, appeared on Headbangers Ball, and influenced everyone from Tom Morello to the entire alt-metal movement of the '90s.Episode Highlights0:00 – IntroThe final community-voted album of 2025. Vivid wins with 62% of the Patreon vote.3:30 – Personal ConnectionsChip shares his 1989 encounter with Living Colour at a Cleveland record store, where Corey Glover spontaneously sang a song about his date.12:00 – Album FactsReleased May 2, 1988. Produced by Ed Stasium and Mick Jagger. Features Chuck D and Flavor Flav on “Funny Vibe.” Charted globally and appears on every major “greatest metal albums” list.21:00 – Vernon Reid's Guitar MasteryJay explores Reid's creative dominance as guitarist and primary songwriter. His riff writing sounds more like the '90s than 1988, and nearly every melodic hook is guitar-driven.32:00 – The Black Rock CoalitionVernon Reid's mission to fight radio segregation and get Black rock musicians back into venues and onto rock radio.38:00 – The Beatles as InspirationThe band intentionally created a diverse, non-cohesive album that could work at any party for any crowd, from metal fans to funk lovers.50:00 – Genre Debates: Metal or Not?Who cares? The album won metal awards and hosted Headbangers Ball, but more importantly, it used heavy riffs to expose listeners to funk, R&B, and social commentary they wouldn't have heard otherwise.1:03:00 – “Cult of Personality”Deep analysis of one of rock's most iconic opening tracks and why it set an impossible standard.1:08:00 – “I Want to Know” and “Open Letter (To a Landlord)”How the album moves from poppy hooks to six-minute epics that shift between R&B, funk, and aggressive rock.1:22:00 – “Memories Can't Wait”The Talking Heads cover that provides breathing room and showcases smart song selection.1:35:00 – Production IssuesThe reverb-heavy ‘80s drums that sometimes work against the band's raw creativity.1:55:00 – Vernon Reid's InfluenceTom Morello's clear debt to Reid's unconventional guitar techniques and willingness to let the instrument do unexpected things.2:07:00 – Social CommentaryLiving Colour sang about gentrification and displacement when most metal bands were singing about nothing heavier than Saturday night.2:28:00 – Final RatingsThe crew debates production, diversity, and nostalgic attachment.Join the Metal UnionSubscribe at digmeoutpodcast.com and join the Metal Union at dmounion.com to vote on future albums, unlock bonus episodes, and join our private Discord community where real music discussions happen every day.

Heather Ann Ferri – Author, Speaker, Healer, and Educator. Heather Ann Ferri wrote her first book, Victim to Victory (2018), in a time when she lost the ability to walk. Pen to paper, she activated her next decade of work. Hired by professionals in medicine, law, construction, and alternative healing, she found patterns. A disconnect from where the root of pain or problems was manifesting within. She had to set her World Record tap shoes aside and activate her voice and healer psychology. Heather Ann Ferri's new classroom involved her mastering eight sciences. How do you reprogram CPTSD while training your breath, voice, and mind? How can healing programs access ancestral memories for empowerment? Is resilience defined by how fast you recover or by the time spent healing the roots of the wounds? A pioneer who found herself lost in the matrix of how women had to be and work in society. Her tap shoes led her to writing off Broadway shows to empower the next generation of leaders. Her private trauma practice led her to be able to speak from authentic experience. Transcending Victim to Goddess series addresses my roots and how she healed from the shadow masculine programs. How she balanced and healed both the divine masculine and feminine within her. This series is a soul purpose to share her love for self and Mother Earth. Heather Ann Ferri's Website

#903. Comedian, actor, theater kid, chaos enthusiast — Gianmarco Soresi joins Kaitlyn for a laugh-out-loud, no-notes-needed episode recorded in New York City.Gianmarco opens up about starting out as a musical theater kid with Broadway dreams, how singing still sneaks its way into his comedy, his time on movie sets (yes, one involved J.Lo), and why he genuinely enjoys being bullied at SoulCycle.They riff on reality TV, producers, hecklers, triggering April Fools jokes, long-term relationships, creative highs, embarrassing on-stage moments, and a very questionable TV show idea involving… small weens.It's silly, honest, and the kind of conversation that only happens when two people are fully cracking each other up — basically, the perfect episode to throw on when you want to laugh and feel like you're hanging out with friends.

A Classic RISK! episode from our early years that first ran in December of 2013, when Alex Edelman, Jude Treder-Wolff and Danielle Kramer all shared Yuletide tales. 

Josephine Baker was a dazzling dancer, a fearless spy, and one of the world's first Black superstars. In this episode of Dead Funny History, historian Greg Jenner tells her extraordinary story with wit, warmth and plenty of jazz hands.Born in 1906 in St Louis, Missouri, Josephine's early life was tough. She worked as a maid from the age of eight and fled racial violence with dreams of stardom. By 15, she'd already been married twice and was making waves on Broadway with her unique comic dance style. But it was in Paris where she truly became a sensation by combining tap, ballet, and even kangaroo-inspired moves into her cabaret performances.Greg explores how Josephine used her fame to challenge racist stereotypes, famously performing in a skirt made of bananas to mock colonial attitudes. She became the highest-paid performer in Europe, starred in films, and even had her own line of dolls – all while living with a menagerie of exotic pets, including a cheetah named Chiquita.But Josephine wasn't just a showbiz icon. During World War Two, she became a spy for the French Resistance, smuggling secrets in sheet music and using invisible ink. After the war, she was decorated for bravery and continued to fight for civil rights, speaking at the 1963 March on Washington alongside Martin Luther King Jr.Greg also reveals Josephine's later life, including her adoption of twelve children from different backgrounds to promote unity, and her final triumphant performance before her death in 1975. With jokes, sound effects, and a quiz to test your memory, this episode is a joyful celebration of a truly remarkable woman.Perfect for families and fans of You're Dead To Me, this snappy history lesson brings Josephine Baker's legacy to life.Writers: Jack Bernhardt, Gabby Hutchinson Crouch and Dr Emma Nagouse Host: Greg Jenner Performers: Mali Ann Rees and John-Luke Roberts Producer: Dr Emma Nagouse Associate Producer: Gabby Hutchinson Crouch Audio Producer: Emma Weatherill Script Consultant: Dr Michell Chresfield Production Coordinator: Liz Tuohy Production Manager: Jo Kyle Studio Managers: Keith Graham and Andrew Garratt Sound Designer: Peregrine AndrewsA BBC Studios Production

In a world obsessed with speed, optimization, certainty, and AI-driven answers, this episode of Gratitude Through Hard Times offers a necessary pause. Chris Schembra sits down with Eric Stine, CEO of Sitecore, for a deeply human conversation about leadership, belonging, gratitude, and the courage to say yes before you feel ready. This is not a tactical episode about growth metrics or technology stacks—it's an exploration of what it means to lead, live, and connect in a time when instinct is being outsourced and humanity is at risk of being optimized away.Eric reflects on a 25-year career across some of the world's most influential enterprise technology companies, but reframes success through a different lens. Rather than crediting restraint or perfection, he points to saying yes as the defining strategy of his life, yes to unfamiliar roles, yes to reinvention, yes to creativity, fatherhood, philanthropy, and Broadway. Along the way, he opens up about imposter syndrome, those quiet moments of doubt that surface even at the highest levels of leadership, and why authenticity—not certainty—is what ultimately creates trust and psychological safety for teams.The conversation reaches back to Eric's eighth-grade years, when he felt like an outsider searching for his people. Theater became the place where he learned that difference wasn't something to hide, but something to bring forward, a lesson that continues to shape how he builds culture today. That theme of belonging becomes especially resonant in today's age of fragmentation and loneliness, where many people feel disconnected not because they lack opportunity, but because they lack spaces where they can show up fully as themselves.Midway through the episode, Eric answers the signature gratitude question, offering heartfelt thanks to his father, Mark, whose belief in living authentically influenced everything from Eric's leadership philosophy to a Tony Award win on Father's Day. The moment grounds the conversation in gratitude, not as sentiment, but as a force that shapes identity, values, and legacy across generations.This episode is especially important now because it confronts a growing cultural tension: while AI can deliver answers at unprecedented speed, it cannot deliver wisdom, belonging, or meaning. Eric draws a clear distinction between systems of record and systems of engagement, arguing that the future belongs to leaders and organizations that pair data with instinct, scale with empathy, and efficiency with humanity. In an era where people are burning out not just from work, but from hiding who they are, this conversation offers a different model, one rooted in community, peer-driven recognition, and shared accountability rather than control.Ultimately, The Power of Saying Yes is a reminder that culture cannot be engineered from the top down and growth cannot be achieved through optimization alone. Culture comes from community. Belonging comes from permission. And the most meaningful paths in life are rarely the safest ones. This episode invites listeners to slow down, embrace impermanence, and choose the more interesting path, not because it's easy, but because it's human.10 Key TakeawaysSaying yes creates momentum.Progress, growth, and meaning often come from leaning in before you feel ready—not from waiting for certainty. Authenticity is a leadership advantage, not a liability.When leaders model vulnerability, they unlock psychological safety and better performance across teams. Imposter syndrome doesn't disappear—it becomes a compass.Doubt is often a signal that you're stretching into something meaningful. Finding “your people” changes everything.Belonging fuels confidence, creativity, and resilience—whether in theater, business, or family. Gratitude is a strategic tool, not a soft one.Recognizing people for their impact on others builds trust, loyalty, and culture at scale. Culture cannot be built top-down.Leaders can only create the conditions; community does the building. AI needs humans in the loop.Data delivers insight, but instinct and empathy deliver relevance. Impermanence creates meaning.Moments matter more when we know they won't last—whether on stage, at work, or around the dinner table. Accountability is empowering when framed as ownership.We don't work in isolation—we work in ecosystems where shared responsibility drives excellence. The best life is an AND life, not an OR life.Passion and profit. Speed and care. Technology and humanity. Both can be true.Eric Stine BioEric Stine is the Chief Executive Officer of Sitecore, driving the company's vision and strategy to unlock business value for clients by empowering them to create compelling digital experiences.

In the final episode of 2025, the WGI Unleashed Podcast heads to West Palm Beach as hosts Dan and Katie sit down with Jill Mathison, a long-time member of WGI's Geospatial team! Jill's story is one of persistence, adaptability, and wholehearted commitment. From her early days growing up on Long Island to helping shape WGI through years of growth and transformation, Jill's journey reflects what it truly means to build a career with intention. From Long Island to South Florida Born in New York and raised on Long Island, Jill grew up surrounded by creativity and culture. Thanks to a mother who loved the arts, childhood trips into Manhattan included Broadway shows, Radio City Music Hall, and unforgettable memories like watching Herbie the Love Bug perform high above the audience. At age 11, Jill and her family relocated to South Florida, where her parents opened their own automotive business. While leaving home was bittersweet, the move sparked Jill's excitement for new opportunities and fresh starts, a theme that would follow her throughout her career. Finding Her Path Through Business Like many great career stories, Jill's path was anything but linear. She initially explored computer science before realizing it was not quite the right fit. A switch to business management at Broward Community College and later Florida Atlantic University opened the door to a wide range of opportunities. Over the years, Jill worked across insurance, direct response marketing, and construction. She even spent 17 years with an electrical contractor, growing from administrative support to project management and eventually purchasing management. Along the way, she built strong relationships, learned the ins and outs of operations, and picked up skills that would later become a huge asset at WGI. A Bold Move That Led Back Home In 2010, during a tough job market, Jill decided to take a proactive approach. After submitting her resume to WGI, she picked up the phone and followed up directly. That call led to her first role with the firm. While the position started as temporary, Jill made it clear she was invested. When a permanent opportunity opened up later, she returned and this time, she was here to stay. Since then, Jill has seen WGI grow from a small firm with manual timesheets and filing cabinets into the dynamic, multidisciplinary company it is today. She has been part of the journey every step of the way. Growing With WGI Jill's role has evolved right alongside the company. What started with administrative support expanded into fleet coordination, safety initiatives, and operational leadership within the Geospatial group. She has supported major projects like the Brightline High-Speed Rail Project and I-595 Expansion in Ft Lauderdale, helping teams navigate complex logistics and field operations. One area she is especially passionate about is safety. From early involvement to today's robust programs, Jill takes pride in helping create a culture where associates look out for one another and speak up when it matters. Life Outside the Office Outside of work, Jill's life is just as full. She is a proud mom, stepmom, and self-described caretaker of a "zoo," including rescue dogs, a cat, and even red-footed tortoises. When she is not managing her household menagerie, Jill enjoys staying active through karate, a hobby she shares with her daughter, as well as dancing, shopping, and spending time with friends and family. Advice for the Next Generation When asked what advice she would give to those just starting their careers, Jill's answer is simple and powerful: always give your best. Showing up fully, staying responsive, and committing to excellence are principles she has lived by throughout her career and ones that continue to define her impact at WGI. This episode is a reminder that meaningful careers are built step by step, shaped by persistence, curiosity, and a willingness to grow alongside the people and organizations you believe in. This is one you don't want to miss! So, tune in, and as always, stay curious, stay driven, and keep unleashing your full potential!

Episode 372: "2025 Wrap-Up” This week on @RoadPodcast we're joined by @Kazi, @Shwcase and @DJMarcoPenta to close out 2025 with a full wrap up of what actually mattered this year, breaking down Top 5 Club Bangers before diving into why songs are taking longer to connect, the lack of label support, and whether release dates should move back to Tuesdays so audiences can learn records before the weekend (14:13). The crew gives @Kehlani her flowers and talks about the success of “Folded” (19:33), then unpacks how rappers who once made club hits are now making gym or car music, GRWM and ‘vibey' records, why “Whim Whammiee” feels like a novelty song, and how labels treat these tracks like penny stocks for quick money (31:10).

In 1978, Paul and saxophonist Arno Hecht founded the well-known group called the Uptown Horns. As their visibility increased, the band was recruited for rock and roll gigs and played many of New York's most famous clubs. Paul and the Uptown Horns went on their first rock and roll tour with the J. Geils Band in 1981 and that led to many other opportunities including engagements with The Rolling Stones, Robert Plant, Tom Waits, Joe Cocker, James Brown, Pat Benatar, and Ray Charles. The band lists recording credits on over 150 albums including James Brown's Grammy Award winning "Living in America" and tracks for Joe Cocker, Albert Collins, Bonnie Raitt, Robert Palmer, Lou Reed and REM. In addition to continuing to play music, he began writing and found critical success with Hoboken to Hollywood, which earned him the 2011 Ovation Award for Musical Direction. Paul was also awarded Best Musical Direction by Stage Scene LA for Louis & Keely: Live' at the Sahara, which had a record run, playing to sold out audiences at the Geffen Playhouse. "Hollywood" Paul earned his nickname back in the 1980's due to his prodigious knowledge of film lore. Though his extensive contributions to the LA music scene have also helped add to that fabulous moniker. Paul's fame is within the world of Rock and Roll. On his latest album, "The Litteral Truth," he brings us a collection of songs that inspired his personal musical development. The Brecker Brothers, Edgar Winter and Steely Dan are a few of the artists we cover on the record, and revisiting these great cuts and reinterpreting them was a joyous excursion for all involved. Paul is a fun and talented man, and his records are spreading the joy of knowing him. -Bill Bodine   Episode Links: Outrageous 8 Records Find the albums here: The Litteral Truth Legacy Instagram (@paullitteralmusic) YouTube channel The Other Side of the Bell Episode #92 - Paul Litteral (first appearance)   Bob Reeves Brass Upcoming Events and Appearances: Trumpet Festival of the Southeast, Jan. 17, 2026, Kennesaw State University, Georgia Texas Music Educators Association Conference, Feb. 11-14 2026, San Antonio, Texas Dylan Music, Feb. 26-28, Woodbridge, New Jersey   Podcast Credits: "A Room with a View" - composed and performed by Howie Shear Podcast Host - John Snell Cover Photo Credit - Paul Litteral Audio Engineer - Ted Cragg
