Bernie talked with Len Berman and Michael Riedel about his gig at the Cafe Carlyle on Tuesday and Wednesday.

This week's Talkhouse episode was recorded live at the On Air Festival in Brooklyn recently—that explains why you'll hear some audience questions at the end—and it features Hamilton Leithauser and Randall Poster, two interesting guys who were just meeting for the first time. Leithauser is best known as the frontman for The Walkmen, the New York band that put out a string of incredible records between 2000 and 2013 before going on a hiatus that lasted a decade—they reunited for a tour last year and have some festival dates lined up for this year. But Leithauser kept plenty busy during the band's downtime, releasing three great records on his own—and he's apparently got another one just about ready to go. Perhaps more relevant to this conversation, at least a bit, is the fact that he's recently gotten into making music for film and TV. Avid Talkhouse listeners will remember that he was on the podcast last year talking with Ethan Hawke about a Paul Newman documentary they worked on together. Leithauser's latest project in that realm is music for a doc series that just premiered at Sundance, and he also just finished up his yearly residence at the posh Cafe Carlyle. You may not immediately recognize the name of today's other guest, but Randall Poster has almost certainly played you a song that you love at some point over the past few decades. As the go-to music supervisor for some incredible filmmakers, he's helped set the mood for more than 200 movies. Perhaps most notably Poster has worked repeatedly with Wes Anderson, a director for whom the soundtrack is massively important. Watch the credits next time you love the song choices in a movie, and you might just see his name. Poster also recently curated a huge 20-LP box set called The Birdsong Project Collection, which you'll hear about in this chat as well. Elsewhere, Leithauser and Poster talk about their jobs, about other podcasts—including one they had in common, called Call Your Grandmother. They get into the story of how Poster got into his unusual profession, and Leithauser talks about a Springsteen cover he recorded that may never see the light of day. Leithauser also talks about the time the presence of Christian Bale basically ruined a Walkmen show, though he can't quite remember the movie it was surrounding: Guys, it was Terrence Malick's already-kinda-forgotten film Song To Song. Enjoy. Thanks for listening to the Talkhouse Podcast, and thanks to Hamilton Leithauser and Randall Poster for chatting.

This episode was produced by Myron Kaplan, and the Talkhouse theme is composed and performed by the Range. See you next time!

Marlene Poynder is the first woman in the 91 year history of the iconic Carlyle Hotel NYC to be Managing Director. The Australian has been working in elite hotels in Australia, Asia and the USA for more than 30 years and took over this prestigious role at this iconic hotel in NYC's upper east side this year. She is a highly regarded results driven leader who is a huge supporter of women in business in leadership roles and believes mentoring is one the most powerful tools. Here she opens up about her hopes for hospitality into the future, how she landed her plum role at Rosewood, and how in this "fourth quarter" of her career she is living out the dream she had for herself at 10 years of age. Poynder says she never would have achieved that dream if it wasn't for three different mentors who helped her maintain her self belief along the way. She is also a believer in teams, and has held positions including General Manager at The Conrad New York Downtown and General Manager of The Waldorf Astoria in Chicago. The Carlyle is one of the world's most prestigious city hotels with a celebrity history spanning decades. It is brimming with artworks, is itself a catalogue of design history and has always been live with the sound of some of America's best musicians at The Cafe Carlyle within the hotel, which opened in 1947, 16 years after the hotel opened. Bono, Cindi Lauper, Mariah Carey, Billy Joel, John Mayer, Bill Murray and Liza Minelli are just a few who have given impromptu performances at the piano in legendary Bemelmans Bar. The Carlyle became a favourite of Hollywood stars after Ingrid Bergman first stayed there when she filmed Intermezzo. It has captivated the well heeled and the well educated for years and was where Jacqueline Onassis met Audrey Hepburn, and the hotel has appeared in Sex And The City, Gossip Girl, HBO's Girls and Bravo's Younger, and the movie "A Very Murray Christmas" starring Bill Murray was entirely filmed at the hotel. The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge stayed there during their first visit to New York. The hotel produces over 1200 monogrammed pillow cases each year for guests, and Hubert De Givenchy once owned an apartment there, and during the Kennedy administration the hotel's owner Robert Dowling kept the "Kennedy Duplex" empty in case the president ever wanted to stay. Many of the guests keep returning multiple times a year, and very few of the world's biggest stars have not had at least one stay at this elegant, unique, truly original hotel.

A New Year Celebration at the Cafe Carlyle with Bobby Short.

The one and only Isaac Mizrahi joins us to discuss his return to Café Carlyle with a virtual concert series. 

Duncan Sheik is probably best-known for "Barely Breathing," the hit single from his self-titled 1996 debut album that went Gold, spent more than a year on the charts and earned the singer-songwriter a Grammy nomination. Beyond writing one of the most recognizable songs of the 20th century, Sheik has subsequently released a wealth of tremendous albums with a continually changing and ever-evolving sound. Along the way, he expanded his artistic scope to a career in composing — winning a Grammy and two Tony Awards for his work on Broadway. But long before he was writing world-renowned songs and entertaining audiences in two different musical mediums, Sheik was a kid in South Carolina playing hair metal covers in a talent show. Recently, Sheik spoke to My First Band host Tyler Maas about what he's working on now, his recently released Live at the Cafe Carlyle album and some especially notable moments from his long and accomplished career in music. Over the course of the hour-long discussion, Sheik opened up about his adolescent rock band, formative years writing and recording himself while attending boarding school, playing in the Brown University orchestra pit (and later playing in a band) with Lisa Loeb, the ups and downs that came with sudden mainstream notoriety, defying industry expectations, his unlikely path to musical theater and much more. My First Band is sponsored by Mystery Room Mastering and Lakefront Brewery. The show is edited by Jared Blohm. You can listen to My First Band on iTunes, Stitcher, Spotify, and wherever else you get podcasts. You can also listen to rebroadcasts of previous My First Band episodes on WMSE every Wednesday from noon to 12:30 p.m. CST. Music used in this episode comes courtesy of Devils Teeth ("The Junction Street Eight Tigers") and Duncan Sheik ("Memento").

Isaac Mizrahi steps Behind The Rope. Yes, THAT Isaac Mizrahi. Living Legend, Fashion Icon Isaac Mizrahi. Nothing more needs to be said! However, did you know Isaac can also sing and is quite the comedian? Isaac takes time out of his busy day to chat about his “Isaac at Cafe Carlyle” virtual concert series, the third of which premieres tomorrow night (on BroadwayWorld Streaming Platform) with special guest Orange Is The New Black’s Lea DeLaria. Isaac discusses how he and the brilliant Lea DeLaria met on a flight from, he thinks Indianapolis, and it was love at first sight. He also discusses the musical inspirations that help shape each evenings set list which has even been known to include classics by Queen Madonna. Speaking of Isaac’s friend Madonna, who doesn’t Isaac know, we discuss the evolution of her career, and fashion, from the 1980s (think Virgin Bracelets) to the modern day Madge we see on our daily Instagram visits. While we have him, we chat with Issac about his best and not so best dressed list among both the Hollywood A list as well as his many Housewife Friends, he knows ‘em all kids. Speaking of people Isaac knows, we chat about friend Sarah Jessica Parker’s return to Sex and the City and whether he might be making another cameo in the reboot. We also chat about the presence of the uber-famous who have entered the fashion and modeling game, think Kim Kardashian, Kylie and Kendall Jenner, Kayne West and Gigi Hadid. Finally, Issac opens up about his many year long foray into Reality TV on various shows such as Bravo’s “The Fashion Show”, “The Issac Mizrahi Show”, and last, but certainly not least, “Project Runway: All Stars”- Alyssa Milano we see you - not to mention the before it’s time Sundance Winning “Unzipped” documentary based on Issac’s life. A rare opportunity to see Issac through our eyes in a candid chat. @issacmizrahi@behindvelvetrope@davidyontefhttps://events.broadwayworld.com/event/isaaccafecarlyle-1-8-8-pm-et-on-demand/Bonus Episodes Available at - https://www.patreon.com/behindthevelvetropeBrought to you by http://www.adamandeve.com (use code ROPE)Brought to you by http://www.fiverr.com/business (use code VELVET)Merch Available at - https://www.teepublic.com/stores/behind-the-velvet-rope?ref_id=13198 See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

#514 - Lea Salonga The Lea Salonga Interview is featured on The Paul Leslie Hour. Lea Salonga is a singer and actress from the Philippines. She is well known for her records as well as Broadway and concert performances. Lea Salonga is known for originating the lead role of Kim in the musical “Miss Saigon.” She is a Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics and Theater World award winner. Salonga also provided the singing voice of Jasmine in the Disney animated film “Aladdin” which I just watched… and Fa Mulan in “Mulan” and “Mulan II.” In 2011, Lea Salonga was honored as a Disney Legend. She continues to record and perform in the United States and the Philippines. She joined me in this interview to talk about her Cabaret album recorded live at the Cafe Carlyle in Manhattan entitled “The Journey So Far.” The Paul Leslie Hour is a talk show dedicated to “Helping People Tell Their Stories.” Some of the most iconic people of all time drop in to chat. Frequent topics include Arts, Entertainment and Culture.

Duncan Sheik’s career has not followed a straight line. After studying semiotics at Brown University, he emerged in the mid 1990s as a pop singer songwriter with his hit “Barely Breathing”, and quickly revealed himself to bend toward more literate adult oriented rock. He continued to make records and land himself on the charts but also began exploring composition for film and theater.  The success of 2006's Spring Awakening, a hit rock musical that featured Sheik’s score (and which won the Tony for Best Original Score as well as a Grammy for Best Musical Show Album) planted him firmly in the world of Broadway. He has continued to write for theater, often collaborating with poet and playwright Steven Sater.  Over the years he has explored electronic music, folk music, and enjoyed covering songs by his favorite writers, many of whom were influential to him as a boy.  His new record Live at the Cafe Carlyle, a small format live concert was recorded in the pre pandemic playground of the upper east side, back when people gathered together unmasked and unconcerned to experience something collectively. The record in many ways is an encapsulation of his career - it includes some of the most famous songs from his artist and composer lives, as well as some of his favorite songs by other songwriters.  We talked recently about his career, his songwriting, technology in music, how becoming a father has influenced his work, his life in Covid and what it means to release music in these strange and trying times, and what exactly is semiotics anyway.

Steve Cooper talks with musician Duncan Sheik. Duncan had a Top 20 hit with the song Barely Breathing from his 1996 eponymous debut. He had three more albums land on the Billboard 200 by the end of the next decade, including his fourth full-length, 2002's Daylight. After scoring his first feature-length film, 2004's A Home at the End his career turned toward Broadway with the success of 2006's Spring Awakening, a hit rock musical. It won him the Tony for Best Original Score as well as a Grammy for Best Musical Show Album, both with lyricist Steven Sater. He continued to juggle adult-alternative albums, film scores, and musical theater in the years to follow, issuing his eighth solo album, Legerdemain, in 2015 and moving his musical American Pyscho to Broadway in 2016. For that show, he served as composer, lyricist, and orchestrator. He reunited with Sater for Alice by Heart, a musical adaptation of Alice's Adventures in Wonderland that opened off-Broadway in 2019. He also just released the album Live at the Cafe Carlyle.  

Noel catches up again with Duncan Sheik, whose latest album, Live at the Cafe Carlyle, comes out December 4th. During this political environment, Duncan updated his hit song, Barely Breathing. The Grammy and Tony Award winner also breaks down some of my favorite songs of his. Duncan also talks the state of Broadway.

As a bonus to our musical week, here is a special interview Geoff did with Grammy and Peabody Award-winning artist Suzanne Vega, on the release of her new album. An Evening of New York Songs and Stories was recorded live last year at Cafe Carlyle in New York, and features her most New York-centric tracks in a celebration of her long relationship with the city. Geoff checks in to see how she's been doing during Covid, her new album, and what it's like releasing a live album in the midst of a pandemic.

397 - Jack Phillips Jack Phillips is a songwriter, a singer and a recording artist. He joined us to talk about his album Café Nights in New York, an album that was influenced in short by many nights of listening to the late great Bobby Short singing at the Cafe Carlyle in New York City. The album features the late Eddy Davis and Conal Fowkes from the Eddy Davis New Orleans Jazz Band featuring Woody Allen. This was originally broadcast on the radio. The Paul Leslie Hour is a talk show dedicated to “Helping People Tell Their Stories.” Some of the most iconic people of all time drop in to chat. Frequent topics include Arts, Entertainment and Culture.

395 - Eddy Davis Banjoist Eddy Davis was born September 26, 1940 and passed away April 7, 2020. This interview with Mr. Davis was recorded in December 2008. The word "legend" gets thrown around a lot, but Eddy Davis certainly was one. An extremely talented banjoist, for anyone who listens to this interview you'll also find he was a great storyteller. To a lot of people he was known for leading the Eddy Davis New Orleans Jazz Band that played many Monday evenings at the Cafe Carlyle in New York City. The band was known for playing traditional jazz and featuring Woody Allen on clarinet. Eddy Davis can be heard on the soundtrack of Woody Allen's films "Radio Days" and "Midnight in Paris" and had a small part in "Sweet and Lowdown." He can also be seen and heard in the documentary film "Wild Man Blues" about Woody Allen's passion for New Orleans jazz. A talented instrumentalist, songwriter, record producer and very entertaining performer, he made some of the most enjoyable recordings around. He was a truly unique artist. We talked of doing another interview and I could never seem to pin him down. I was honored and delighted to interview him. I hope for anyone who knew him they will enjoy this recording of him talking in such detail. For those who never got to see him perform, I hope this will inspire you to try and locate some of his records which are all exceptional. The world of music has suffered a great loss. Eddy Davis will be greatly missed. The Paul Leslie Hour is a talk show dedicated to “Helping People Tell Their Stories.” Some of the most iconic people of all time drop in to chat.

Acclaimed actress and singer Dianna Agron returns to Café Carlyle, January 22-February 2. From Marianne Faithfull and Nancy Sinatra to Nico and Peggy Lee, Dianna will be paying tribute to some of finest female-fronted acts of the ‘60s and ‘70s. By way of the hit TV show, "Glee," selling more than twelve million albums worldwide and tackling two major tours, she is no stranger to the stage. A resident of New York, she is thrilled to bring her voice back to Café Carlyle, something she feels cements her place in the city.

Welcome back to Season Two of Last Night at The Carlyle! We are so excited to kick-off the Fall Season with two funny & talented ladies - Jane Lynch (Hollywood Game Night, Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Glee) & Kate Flannery (Meredith from The Office). Listen to Jane & Kate chat with Sara and Matthew about their Chicago beginnings, their current Cafe Carlyle run (aka like the Rat Pack with a couple of broads) ...and of course, their new found love for The Carlyle and elevator operators. They also discuss how Hollywood Game Night found its infamous start, binging and purging TV shows, and learning yiddish.

Alan Cumming regales Sara & Matthew with tales from his new show at the Cafe Carlyle, how he handles a heckler, and fills us in on his late nights at Club Cumming when one night Paul McCartney, Emma Stone, and Billie Jean King all walked into his bar...

I've had the song "Stay (I Missed You)" stuck in my head since interviewing Grammy nominated singer-songwriter Lisa Loeb last week. It was a juggernaut hit for her in the 90's and she followed it up with a string of hit singles.  She'll never know how lucky she was that I didn't sing it to her during our interview or I'm afraid it would have been a much shorter interview. I've been wanting to have Lisa on the show for a while now because of her presence in the LA music scene and popularity with kids. But also because of her longevity in the music industry. Lisa was a trailblazer when she released "Stay" from the Reality Bites soundtrack because she was the first independent pop musician to have a Number 1 single while not signed to a recording contract. Anyone in the music industry can tell you that's a huge accomplishment. Since then she's carved out a niche for herself with a large following of loyal fans. The music industry has changed a lot over the years and so has Lisa. She explains how motherhood has changed her perspective on music and her priorities. She also told me about her children's albums, which she recorded before having kids and why she's drawn to that style of music. Her children's albums “Catch the Moon” (with Elizabeth Mitchell) and Amazon Music exclusives, “Nursery Rhyme Parade!” and “Feel What U Feel” (featuring Craig Robinson and Ed Helms). She has also published two picture book-CDs for Sterling Children’s Books:  “Lisa Loeb’s Songs for Movin’ and Shakin'” and “Lisa Loeb’s Silly Sing Along.” Her latest album "Feel What U Feel" is a family album of mostly original songs featuring guest artists Craig Robinson, Ed Helms and others. It's available exclusively on Amazon Music. I had the pleasure of seeing her perform at the Great Big Family Play Day in LA and it was wonderful. Parents who have been fans since their college days stopped by to listen and introduce their kids to her style of music. And it is a very unique style. Lisa has gentleness to her music and her spirit which I think is what draws people in and keeps them coming back for more, and makes them stay. In a few weeks she'll be doing a short residency at the Cafe Carlyle in NYC from June 6th to June 17th. For more information on Lisa visit her website, lisaloeb.com.

Suzanne Vega joined Soul Sisters one day before her Cafe Carlyle debut and two weeks before the 30th anniversary of her album Solitude Standing, which cemented Vega's place in the canon of singer-songwriter fame with hits like Luka and perhaps one of the most ubiquitous songs of all time, Tom's Diner.

Gary and Roscoe are pleased and excited to welcome cabaret artist Beckie Menzie to Booth One this week. Beckie is an award-winning performer, teacher, song writer, musical director and vocal coach, a staple of the Windy City music scene, and nationally recognized as one of the country's finest cabaret entertainers. Along with her musical partner Tom Michael, they have been called, "Sizzling...immensely appealing...one of the most compelling duos in cabaret today!" Beckie is from Pierceton, IN, but a Chicago girl through and through. She learned piano at an early age and fell in love with music and the performing arts while hanging around the Wagon Wheel Theatre in Warsaw, IN. She has performed at some of the nation's top clubs, theaters, concert halls, outdoor venues, and cabaret rooms. She most recently appeared at Carnegie Hall and the Auditorium Theatre. We play a few song excerpts throughout the podcast to give you a taste of her talent, style and singular musical gifts. Beckie and the boys chat about cabaret performers Michael Feinstein, Barbara Cook, Karen Mason, Sally Mayes, Julie Wilson, Bette Midler, Bernadette Peters, Marilyn Maye and Barbra Streisand. (Just to drop a few names!) We discuss Laura Benanti's latest show at the Cafe Carlyle in New York and the stellar reviews she received. Gary gives a shout out to the Therapy Players, Chicago's premier all-psychotherapist comedy improvisation troupe! Seems they're holding auditions looking for a few new recruits. If you or someone you love is mental health professional, check them out at www.therapyplayers.com. In addition to performing steadily with Tom, Beckie is also a vocal coach and teacher, has recently become engaged, and sings with Laura Freeman & Marianne Murphy Orland in a group called Girls Like Us. They'll be performing their new show Barbra, Bette and Bernadette at Chicago's famed Davenport's nightclub on November 19 & 20. Go here for more info and tickets. Beckie's various musical ventures are part of her BeMe Music empire. If you like The Golden Girls like we do, you'll LOVE the new action figures from Funko. Retirees Dorothy, Blanche, Rose and Sophia are posable vinyl figures 3.75 inches tall and ready for action! The four-figure set costs $25 and is only available from participating Target stores and New York Comic Con. Run, don't walk, to your nearest Target for holiday shopping magic. There's nothing like a country and western song title to bring a smile - and an occasional grimace - to your face. Gary cycles through the Best of the Worst Country-Western Song Titles of all time. Here's one - She Got the Gold Mine and I Got the Shaft. Beckie tells us about the country song she once wrote and one that she intends to. Roscoe inquires whether anyone can be taught how to sing, in an apparent attempt to jump start a cabaret career of his own. Beckie responds as only a true vocal/performance coach can. Don't worry, folks. Roscoe and I are probably not leaving the Booth One podcast for vocalist fame and fortune anytime soon! Chat Pack, anyone? We play a few rounds of our favorite conversational party game with Beckie. Kiss of Death: Jean Shepard, Female Country Voice with Muscle and Ambition. A mainstay of the Grand Ole Opry for more than 60 years, Ms. Shepard blazed the Country Music trail for other female singers like Loretta Lynn, Patsy Cline and Tammy Wynette. She brought a freewheeling, cheeky style to the eternal themes of heartache, cheating and marital discord, planting the flag for independent women. In the early 1950's, Ms. Shepard had hits with "The Root of All Evil (Is a Man)", "Many Happy Hangovers to You" and "Twice the Lovin' (in Half the Time)". She was small but her voice was powerful, pure and penetrating. She was also an expert yodeler. Ms. Shepard was an ardent champion of traditional country music throughout her lifetime. She was 82.

Silent film star Colleen Moore spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on it's construction and it remains a permanent public fixture at the MSI read about Colleen Moore.

Gary tells our listeners to remember to watch the Mike Nichols profile special on PBS on Friday, January 29, 2016, directed by Elaine May . Gary worked with Mr. Nichols on several occasions, and this should be an excellent premiere of the American Masters series. Check your local listings for time and channel. As in the past, we play a little Chat Pack with our guest Melanie Neilan and discuss hats, food and running barefoot through the park. Kiss of Death: Alden Amos, Whose Spinning Wheels Gave the Craft a Brighter Fate, Dies at 77.  Margalit Fox pens a beautiful and touching eulogy to the man who kept the art of hand-made spinning wheels alive in America.

We are beyond thrilled to feature an interview with hero to the show, Margalit Fox! Brought to you from the newsroom of the New York Times. Margalit is the author of most of the obituaries Gary chooses to read during "Kiss of Death," the concluding segment of each show episode. He selects them based on his fascination with the lives they depict and how beautifully they are written. Having the chance to talk with her at the Times was, as he says on the show, "one of the great Booth One experiences of my life!" Before we get to that interview, Gary and Roscoe continue to describe experiences from their recent visits to New York City. Roscoe recounts seeing Therese Raquin, starring Keira Knightly; Drop Deap Perfect by the Peccadillo Theatre Company; and The Humans by Stephen Karam.

Trained as a linguist, Margalit also writes marvelous non-fiction books, including The Riddle of the Labyrinth published in 2013. She is at work on a new manuscript. We can't wait! After the interview, Gary gave her two pink flamingos, which is what he now gives each of the show's guests. Particularly fitting for her since he was inspired to give them by her obituary of Don Featherstone, inventor of the pink flamingo lawn ornament.
