EPISODE 153 -  “JACK & MABEL ALBERTSON: IT RUNS IN THE FAMILY” - 8/17/2026  Hollywood history is filled with famous acting families, but few sibling stories are quite as surprising—or as entertaining—as that of JACK and MABEL ALBERTSON. In the latest episode of From Beneath the Hollywood Sign, we look back at the remarkable lives and careers of a brother and sister who took very different roads to show business success. Jack became one of Hollywood's most beloved character actors. He won an Oscar for The Subject Was Roses, inspiring generations of fans as Grandpa Joe in Willy Wonka & the Chocolate Factory, and won legions of new fans on TV for Chico and the Man. Mabel carved out her own memorable career — appearing in movies such as Barefoot in the Park and What's Up Doc? before finding fame on television, most famously as Mother Stephens on Bewitched. From vaudeville stages and lean early years to Broadway, movies, television, and finally Hollywood success, theirs is a story of perseverance, talent, an unbreakable bond. Join us as we celebrate this revered brother/sister act, on a brand-new episode of From Beneath the Hollywood Sign.

In this episode, Charles sits down with TJ Horn, a Boston-area drummer who has played with several bands — most notably the critically acclaimed Walter Sickert and the Army of Broken Toys. Beyond his drumming career, TJ is a passionate live music fan who set a personal record in 2025 by attending 75 concerts in a single year. He's also known in certain Boston circles for his live readings of erotic fan fiction. It's a wide-ranging conversation about music, performance, and what it means to love live shows. TJ traces his passion for live music back to a 1994 Depeche Mode concert at the Blockbuster Pavilion in Glen Helen, California — a show his uncle brought him and his family to when he was just 12 years old. That night sparked a lifelong obsession. That same year, his uncle also took him to Metallica, Nine Inch Nails, and the legendary Lollapalooza '94 — where TJ saw the Smashing Pumpkins, Beastie Boys, L7, and a then-unknown Green Day, just weeks before they exploded in popularity. Over the years, TJ has accumulated remarkable concert stories: chatting with Fred Durst for 40 minutes at Ozzfest while watching Tool, seeing Porno for Pyros perform a surprise acoustic set on a walkway at Lollapalooza '95, and stumbling upon a tiny 40-person Touché Amoré show after standing in the snow for a wristband. His 75-show year in 2025 came about naturally — fueled by a wide network of friends with different musical tastes, a work schedule that freed up his evenings, and a simple philosophy of saying yes when a cheap ticket or a spare invite came along. On the music-making side, TJ is a self-taught drummer who got his start playing along to Green Day and the Ramones in his bedroom as a military kid who had just moved to Boston. He's gone on to play with bands spanning punk, hardcore, and art-rock, including The Martyrs and a rock opera project featuring Amy Winehouse's saxophonist and members of The Replacements. His longest creative relationship has been with Walter Sickert and the Army of Broken Toys — a theatrical "steam crunk" band known for elaborate costumes, steampunk conventions, annual RPM Challenge albums, and now an upcoming horror sci-fi film directed by Walter himself. TJ also speaks fondly of the erotic fan fiction readings that made him unexpectedly famous in Boston's burlesque and cosplay scene — a side gig that started with dramatic readings of bad dating app messages and turned into a crowd-favorite variety act. For more from TJ, find him on Instagram at @tjbrokenproton. BANDS: A Tribe Called Quest, Amy Winehouse, Beastie Boys, The Boredoms, Boy's Life, The Breeders, Bridgit Calls Me Baby, Coal Chamber, Converge, Cyndi Lauper, Deftones, Depeche Mode, Dropbear, Eagles of Death Metal, Elastica, Emperor Norton's Stationary Marching Band, Face to Face, Fight, George Clinton, Green Day, Hole, Jack White, Jay-Z, L7, Lady Gaga, Less Than Jake, Letters to Cleo, Limp Bizkit, Metallica, Ministry, Motörhead, My Life With The Thrill Kill Kult, Nick Cave, Nine Inch Nails, Ozzy Osbourne, Porno for Pyros, Ramones, Red Hot Chili Peppers, The Replacements, Rosalía, Salt-N-Pepa, sapling, Sex Pistols, Smashing Pumpkins, Shonen Knife, Soulfly, Stellastar, Stereolab, Suicidal Tendencies, The Killers, Tool, Touché Amoré, Walter Sickert and the Army of Broken Toys.

From MPR News, Art Hounds are members of the Minnesota arts community who look beyond their own work to highlight what's exciting in local art.Want to be an Art Hound? Submit here.A world-class music festival in the Brainerd Lakes Hedy Holmberg spends the summers by Bay Lake in the Brainerd Lakes Region. In the past five years, she's been attending the Lakes Area Music Festival, which she calls a hidden gem. The series kicks off Friday and runs through Aug. 23 with a series of concerts. Some of the highlights, Holmberg says, are Friday night's gala opening and a performance of Carmen Aug. 14 and 16, both at the Gichi-ziibi Center for the Arts. She also loves bringing her grandchildren to the family-friendly Sound Garden event at the Northland Arboretum in Baxter, in which musicians perform throughout the gardens; that free event is Saturday, Aug. 1, at 10 a.m. Many of the concerts are also livestreamed. Holmberg says, "It is an absolute hidden gem to have these world-class musicians from all over the world come to Brainerd, Minn., and put on these amazing, high-quality, very professional concerts and other events. It's absolutely astounding to me. “And part of it is when we talk to the musicians, they talk about how much they love to come up here, how welcoming the community is. They stay with people in their lake homes. They develop a relationship with them over the years. I just can't say enough about it." Jazz dance takes center stage Susana di Palma is the founder and advisory artistic director of Zorango Flamenco Dance Theater. She wants dance lovers to know about Rhythmically Speaking's new show, Groovers & Makers, in which four choreographers will premiere new works with their takes on jazz dance. Rhythmically Speaking focuses on jazz, tap and American social dance styles, and di Palma says you'll leave wanting to dance yourself. The show runs Thursday through Saturday at the Southern Theater in Minneapolis. Di Palma is a big fan of artistic director Erinn Liebhard: "Erin's piece will be [about] time, good times and time travels. She is joined by three other choreographers that are all amazing. One is a great angel of a choreographer, Karla Grotting, and she is a master. And then there are two other choreographers: from New York, Maiya Redding, and Alexis Robbins from Connecticut." A graffiti pioneer steps into the gallery Installation artist Eric Rieger, who works under the name Hot Tea, started graffiti writing in 1996 and "immediately gravitated" to the work of George Thompson (aka EWOK). Thompson's exhibit "Zigged When I Should've Zagged" opens Friday and focuses on his studio practice as it has evolved from his graffiti writing. The exhibit includes nine works on paper created since 2020 as well as a print of his 2019 work "Cop Car." The exhibit is presented by Burlesque of North America, which is also launching a limited-edition zine featuring photographs of decades of Thompson's graffiti. The show at the Southside Preservation Society in Minneapolis runs through Aug. 28. Friday's launch from 7-10 p.m. includes a chance to screen-print a t-shirt with one of Thompson's designs. Rieger describes Thompon's style: "I would describe the artwork as almost, like, otherworldly, but also very familiar. It's almost like you're looking at a still life, but from like the year 30,000."

From growing up in a small town in Michigan to becoming an international icon of glamour, Dita shares how curiosity, creativity and authenticity shaped a career that didn't exist until she created it herself.Together, they discuss the misconceptions surrounding confidence, beauty and femininity, why reinvention has been at the heart of Dita's success, and the importance of embracing your individuality in a world that constantly encourages comparison. Dita also opens up about working with Taylor Swift, maintaining confidence as she ages, navigating criticism in the public eye, and the daily habits that help her stay physically and mentally strong.Whether you're searching for greater confidence, hoping to redefine yourself, or looking for inspiration to build a life that feels authentically yours, this conversation is a reminder that greatness begins when you stop trying to fit in and start honouring who you truly are.You'll learn:Why confidence is built through action, not something you're simply born with.How embracing your uniqueness can become your greatest strength.The mindset behind creating an iconic personal brand that stands the test of time.Why discipline creates freedom in both your personal and professional life.How to navigate criticism without losing yourself.The beauty, wellness and mental health practices that have sustained Dita's career for decades.The story behind collaborating with Taylor Swift and what she learned from watching one of the world's biggest stars work.Why gratitude and self-expression are the foundations of a meaningful life.If this episode resonated with you, remember to follow A Life of Greatness, leave a review, and share this conversation with someone who could use the reminder that confidence starts from within.Purchase Sarah's book: Living A Life Of Greatness here.To purchase Living A Life of Greatness outside Australia here or here.Watch A Life of Greatness Episodes On Youtube here.Sign up for Sarah's newsletter (Greatness Guide) here.Purchase Sarah's Meditations here.Instagram: @sarahgrynberg Website: https://sarahgrynberg.com/Facebook: facebook.com/sarahgrynbergTwitter: twitter.com/sarahgrynberg Hosted on Acast.

Recorded at his beautiful Sessions facility in Atlanta, Georgia, Tricky sits down with hosts Phillionaire along with Claude Kelly and Chuck Harmony of Louis York for an intimate, master-class level conversation about his legacy, his creative process, and what it truly means to lead the music industry. Fresh off the announcement of his induction into the prestigious We Sound Crazy Songwriters Hall of Fame, Tricky opens up about what this ultimate honor means to a behind-the-scenes creator, viewing it as the pinnacle recognition for a lifetime dedicated to the craft of songs. Throughout the episode, Tricky takes listeners on a deep dive into his rich musical DNA, sharing how his unique approach to hooks and efficiency was forged in a powerhouse Chicago family that created iconic advertising jingles by day, hit records by night, and praised the Lord on Sundays. He reflects on his early industry breaks under the mentorship of the late legendary A&R, Louis Silas Jr., and his eventual move to Atlanta under L.A. Reid, where he learned the grueling realities of making records that don't just top charts, but actively shift global pop culture. He also shares a rare look into his legendary, brotherhood and partnership with The-Dream, breaking down their lightning-in-a-bottle studio chemistry and revealing how their creative "happy rubs" birthed unprecedented musical magic. Spanning over three decades of undeniable greatness, this candid conversation goes far beyond a standard interview. Tricky shares profound wisdom on maintaining emotional intelligence, staying fluid in a changing industry, and navigating the differences between a standard hit and a culture-shattering smash. From his meticulously crafted work on the Burlesque film soundtrack with Christina Aguilera to his relentless pursuit of the next world-dominating international superstar, Tricky proves why his name belongs on the Mount Rushmore of modern music.

This week on The FratChat Podcast, we're counting down the Best and Worst Straight Actors to Play LGBTQ Roles. Some performances were so authentic and compelling that audiences forgot they were watching an actor at all. Others aged about as well as a Blockbuster membership card. From acclaimed portrayals in films like Milk, Brokeback Mountain, and Capote to performances that sparked backlash, controversy, and endless eye rolls, we're ranking the actors who nailed it and the ones who completely missed the mark. Along the way, we tackle the bigger questions about authenticity, stereotypes, representation, and what separates a great performance from a caricature. Plus, we dive into Emails From the Listeners, break down the latest headlines in The News, and return with another installment of Not the Drag Queens, featuring the arrest of a Texas Republican precinct chair who was charged after investigators allegedly discovered a large amount of child sexual abuse material during a cyber-crime investigation. We also go off on several classic FratChat tangents, including Adam Sandler's wild movie phase, whether I Now Pronounce You Chuck & Larry has aged terribly, Christina Aguilera's acting in Burlesque, the enduring greatness of Stanley Tucci, and why some performances still hold up years after Hollywood changed the conversation around LGBTQ representation. It's comedy, controversy, movie debates, and just enough chaos to keep everyone uncomfortable. Got a question, comment or topic for us to cover? Let us know!

Hey — want to catch something joyful and totally free this summer? Circus Bella's new show, “AHA,” leans into laughter, fresh clowning, and a real community vibe (plus a 10-year-old co‑ringmaster who steals the spotlight). It's playful, heartfelt, and full of surprises. Check the schedule at circusbella.org, grab a picnic, and come laugh with us — you'll leave smiling, I promise. ___________________________________________ Abigail Munn - Director & Ringmaster Since its inception, Abigail has been directing, creating and producing new work for Circus Bella. Along with the more conventional duties she has also served as the company's truck driver, catering service and laundress. An accomplished dancer, choreographer, and aerialist, Munn holds a BFA in Modern Dance from UC Santa Barbara. As a child, who was born and raised in SF, she appeared with the Pickle Family Circus, and later with Zoppe Italian Family Circus, Lone Star Circus, the Moisture Festival, the New Pickle Circus, Cabaret Verdelet, Circus Cabaret, Tease-O-Rama, Va Voom Room, and The Velvet Hammer Burlesque. Munn was commended in the New York Times for her performance in Alma Esperanza Cunningham's Princess. Munn co-directed the nouveau-vaudeville troupe Kitty Bang, an internationally recognized three-time “Best of the Bay” winner that is influential in the modern Burlesque resurgence. Over the past few years Abigail has become increasingly involved in advocacy work for the Circus Arts. When transitioning Circus Bella performers to Employees, she became aware that the current workers compensation rates and policy descriptions in California were way out of step with the current reality of the Circus Industry. Munn embarked on a one woman quest to help change this and after initiating a study from the Workers Comp Insurance Rating Bureau (WCIRB), rates were significantly lowered (by 80%) for ALL Circus Companies in California. In addition, she is a founding member and on the board of the American Circus Alliance.
