Writer and resident Gilbert & Sullivan expert Julia Sirmons joins to discuss Mike Leigh's 'Topsy-Turvy', a story of the aforementioned musical duo and the production of one of their most popular shows, 'The Mikado'. It's a film that feels at once like an outliler in Leigh's career up to that point (his first film not set in contemporary working-class London) and a pitch-perfect culmination of many of his career-long explorations. We begin with a discussion about the legacy of director Mike Leigh, his unusual method for drawing brilliant performances from his ensemble of some of the very best British actors, and his trademark style and narrative construction. Then, we unpack the works of Gilbert & Sullivan, exploring Topsy-Turvy's commitment to authenticity in its recreation of 19th century English theater culture, and the wise decision to focus the film on a particularly unstable moment in the long collaboration between the wordsmith and composer. Finally, we discuss the film's evocation of art and its production process, emphasizing the granular repetition of the work as well as the undergirding capitalist mechanics that necessitated performers assume a strong identity as a collective labor force.

We speak with Linda Calhoun, Founder & CEO of Career Girls: www.careergirls.org
A lot can happen in six years. Look at us. Six years ago we were just establishing our show. Now we're still getting the same low and withering numbers.
On this episode of Future of Women at work Kristen and Rachel interview Linda Calhoun. Linda is the Founder and CEO of Career Girls, a nonprofit that was created as a response to the inequality of opportunity that Linda encountered within her story.
What do young girls grow up to be? We'd like the answer to be, “whatever they want to be”! But sadly, that's often not the case. Part of the reason is because they can't know what they can be until they see women who are relatable to them doing jobs they have never heard of. This is the gift of Career Girls, created and run by Linda Calhoun. Linda wants all girls, regardless of where they live or their personal circumstances, to learn well, dream big, and be able to walk in the shoes of the trailblazing women who are leading the way.
Recorded and released on Saturday, August 21st, 2021.

Career Girls is a love letter to the friendships that shape us in our formative years, and the nostalgia that accompanies us once we’ve grown out of them. The indie movie follows Annie and Hannah, college friends who reunite for the first time since they graduated six years ago. Karen Corday, a writer, was the same age as the characters when she first saw the movie. She says it helped her feel seen and comforted to know that her experiences “just living as a person in the world” were worth exploring.Karen Corday writes about feelings, songs, movies, relationships, memories, old things, karaoke, and books. Her writing has appeared in publications like “Brooklyn Magazine,” “The Washington Post,” and Brit + Co. You can find the beautifully insightful piece she wrote about “Career Girls” on her website karencorday.com.Subscribe to our weekly newsletter at https://onbeing.org/tmcmletter/

Over a billion people live in India – roughly one in every five on earth inhabiting two percent of the world’s landmass. This massive population has taken a toll, pushing the country’s environment and its infrastructure to the brink. Rivers are polluted beyond use and groundwater reserves are fast diminishing.

These challenges that India faces today may soon become the reality for other parts of the world as well, as the global population continues to rise and a changing climate places strains on global agriculture, infrastructure, governance and other systems. How are individuals and communities working to combat these challenges? What can the rest of the world learn from India’s current predicament, and could these lessons help lead the planet to a more sustainable and prosperous future? Journalist Meera Subramanian travelled the country and spoke with individuals determined to revive India’s natural world. She will share these stories and offer insights into the present and future of India’s environment. Speaker Meera Subramanian is a Journalist and Author.
