Richard Russo is the author of ten novels, most recently Somebody's Fool, Chances Are, Everybody's Fool and That Old Cape Magic; two collections of stories; one previous essay collection about writing — The Destiny Thief: Essays on Writing, Writers and Life; and the memoir Elsewhere. In 2002 he received the Pulitzer Prize for Empire Falls, which, like Nobody's Fool, won multiple awards for its screen adaptation, and in 2023 his novel Straight Man was adapted into the television series Lucky Hank. His latest, Life and Art, contains 13 essays touching on many of the topics we grapple with on the show. How to imagine your way into another person's skin. When it is inappropriate to try. What should writers be making of this current moment in history and their role in it. Where and how do we find meaning in our work. It feels very much born out of the pandemic, and out of this cultural moment, so it's got a lot of insights about our country and Richard's unique socio-economic experiences living in it for 75 years. He joins Marrie Stone to talk about it. For more information on Writers on Writing and to become a supporter, visit our Patreon page. For a one-time donation, visit Ko-fi.

Beyond the Veil:  Exploring Love and Relationships with David Hoffmeister In this talk, David Hoffmeister draws on Jesus' teachings to illuminate the true nature of our existence. He emphasizes that we are not separate from our Creator but one Spirit, Christ. David uses the movie “Chances Are” to take us into an experience of reality much beyond what we would call the everyday human experience. The real love of God is so far beyond human experience that we have only received glimmers, and the prayer remains: "Bring me a higher love." The movie commentary takes us beyond our limited definitions of love and relationship. It lifts us higher into a sense of the holy relationship: the connection with the divine and the holy instant. David is a mastermind guiding us toward a deeper understanding of love and relationships.

On the 6th November 1966 Paul McCartney died in a car crash, and he was replaced in the Beatles by William Shears Campbell. Now that's not actually true, but it hasn't stopped many people to believe that it is. This theory is just one of many conspiracies that I discuss with Jonn Elledge, co-author (with Tom Phillips) of a book on their history. We talk about whether we're living in a simulation, JFK and Abraham Lincoln's assassinations, crop circles and many more - but it's not always internet obsessives who push these ideas.Jonn is a journalist and author and you'll find his work in The New Statesman, The Guardian and he has a great Substack.Jonn Elledge LinksConspiracy: A History of Boll*cks Theories, and How Not to Fall for Them, by Jonn Elledge & Tom Phillips The Newsletter of (Not Quite) Everything - SubstackJonn on X/TwitterLinks DiscussedAbbi Richards' brilliant Conspiracy ChartDo We Live in a Simulation?

GIANNI RUSSO was born in Manhattan in 1943 and raised in the then close-knit Little Italy, and later Rosebank, Staten Island. After reprising Carlo Rizzi in a brief flashback scene at the end of The Godfather Part II, Russo acted in more than 46 films, including Goodnight, My Love (1972), Lepke (1975, as Albert Anastasia), Laserblast (1978), Chances Are (1989), The Freshman (1990), Side Out (1990), Another You (1991), Super Mario Bros. (1993), Any Given Sunday (1999) and Seabiscuit (2003). Russo claims that he started a fledgling career in organized crime working as an errand boy and mob associate for Frank Costello as an adolescent but later abandoned the dangerous and volatile lifestyle of organized crime. The Staten Island Mafioso Tommy Bilotti was reportedly best man at Russo's wedding. Since the beginning of his acting career, Russo owned a Las Vegas restaurant called Gianni Russo's State Street at 2570 State Street on the Las Vegas Strip (closed in 1988), and reportedly defeated 23 federal criminal indictments on a variety of charges stemming from alleged organized crime associations. Russo is also a singer. In 2004, he released a CD called Reflections that pays homage to Dean Martin and Frank Sinatra. Russo owns a wine brand, Gianni Russo Wines, which debuted in 2009. In 2019, he published his memoir, Hollywood Godfather: My Life in the Movies and the Mob.

Hear me serenade Tita with my rendition of "Something" by the Beatles, followed by "Chances Are" by lover boy Johnny Mathis.

Shrek is the most important movie of all time, there's no denying that. But is it good? Who knows. It's impossible to tell. But it is farty, that part is known. Alex forced everybody to travel via Eddie Murphy to figure out why people are so horny for Shrek and he didn't learn anything but it was still an interesting outing. Next up: Hunter moves strategically via Kathleen Freeman to the 1989 romcom with a bonkers premise, "Chances Are" just because he's reincarnated doesn't mean he can't hit on his daughter, apparently? Weird. Weird one coming up.

EPSIODE 56 | Red Pill This! The Simulation Proposal Mainly inspired by a 1999 movie, many people suspect we may be living in a computer simulation of some sort. If we are, how can we tell? Maybe by looking at some ideas from physics, which has some truly unusual ideas as to the nature of things. The universe might be made of tiny vibrating strings, or physicalized information. It might be a hologram, or a big brain, or an artifact of statistics. All these ideas seem to point to an underlying code of some kind. Or maybe everything we think we know was just created last Thursday. This is the two-year anniversary episode of Conspiracy Clearinghouse. Thank you everyone for listening and for your support!

Happy Friday, Everyone! Welcome to season five, episode eight of "Chatting with the Constantins." We have a special episode for you today. Destiny and John Constantin sit down and chat with Educator, Children & Young Adult Author Kelly Leslie. The Canadian author discusses the inspiration behind her young adult novel, "Chances Are." Chances… Are is an inspiring young adult novel full of adventure about self-discovery, overcoming obstacles, great characters, and a blossoming romance. In addition, Kelly shares her passion for writing and teaching. Finally, she discusses her children's books that hold a special meaning and feature characters with special needs like autism and anxiety. These books are created with children with special needs in mind, so they can have literature they can relate to and teach children about people who may be different but are still an important part of the community. Kelly Leslie writes with passion and with the goal of raising awareness for individuals with special needs. Her stories are meaningful, inspiring, and relatable as she crafts characters who experience obstacles and go on a journey to overcome them. Thank you for joining, and we hope you enjoy this episode! Learn more about Kelly Leslie's young adult novel, "Chances Are.." and read Destiny's review on our website. Also, if you are interested in being a guest on the podcast, please send us an email through our website or a direct Twitter message. Kelly Leslie's Biography My name is Kelly Leslie, and I am a retired Principal with 30+ years of experience in the field of education. During that time, I developed an affinity for children with special needs and continue to strive to highlight the importance of recognizing all our strengths. To that end, in my retirement, a valued colleague-friend and I co-created an organization entitled Believe Beyond Bounds to showcase children and young adults with special needs. In a further attempt to continue to impact young children, I have created some children's picture books. I believe it's never too early to teach our children about positive differences, acceptance, kindness, and inclusion. It is this belief that inspired me to create the Hannah Series and the Bruno Series, picture books for children aged 4-8. It is my hope to focus on the incredible strengths showcased by children with special needs and, through this, continue to support all children, as well as provide resources for both parents and educators. I have recently had the pleasure of co-authoring an SEL (social, emotional learning) curriculum resource for K-3 teachers with Joyce Tam. We have developed an easy-to-use resource that incorporates all 6 of the picture books, focusing on (positive) Differences, Acceptance, Kindness, and Inclusion - The DAKI. Our hope is to support educators in facilitating social-emotional growth in the classroom. In addition, to help create a climate where students will have the opportunity to deepen their understanding of self while supporting one another in a collaborative learning environment. I have also published my first YA novel, Chances Are... my hope with this novel is to impact our young adult audience with a message around learning to appreciate your personal strengths, be unapologetically yourself and your own best friend, always.

The full complement of pop culture coverage returns for Sassy's May 1989 issue, PHEW.

WTOP Entertainment Reporter Jason Fraley chats with legendary crooner Johnny Mathis, who performs live at Strathmore tomorrow night in North Bethesda, Maryland. They spoke in 2018 to break down his biggest hits, including "Chances Are," "It's Not For Me to Say" and "It's Beginning to Look a Lot Like Christmas."

Johnny Mathis created the blueprint for romantic singers, recording timeless classics like “Chances Are,” “Misty,” “The Twelfth of Never,” and “It's Not For Me to Say.” Unlike some of his contemporaries, he's never stopped touring or recording. This year marks his 65th year as a recording artist with Columbia Records, and to celebrate, he's embarking on his 65 Years of Romance Tour. We chat with him about what he did to keep busy during quarantine. He also tells us what lengths he went to to be able to cook while on tour, and what he has in store for this upcoming tour.

Hi! My name is Terry J. Aman and this installment marks my 75th episode and fourth year anniversary production of "VideoFuzzy," reporting the progress I've made in cataloging nearly 3,000 VHS transfers and digital recordings. Delayed somewhat by our first roadtrip out of state since the fall of 2019 -- WORTH IT -- my Friday Night Feature this installment, I talk about Mos Def, Jack Black, Danny Glover and Melonie Diaz in an HBO presentation of 2008's "Be Kind, Rewind." I skip lightly past Cross Connections, touching on Jack Black and Allyce Beasley over the course of the episode, and brief Fond Reflections of Irv Gooch and Ned Beatty, and I highlight Danny Glover as a Golden Thread through my media encounters. In my Classic Collection (VHS-to-DVD), I have cataloged through disc 1,150. I dig into Damon Wayans, Jada Pinkett Smith and Michael Rapaport in Spike Lee's "Bamboozled" (2000); with comments on David Lynch's "Blue Velvet" and "Eraserhead"; Jon Stewart's Wacky List of Things: Bad Ways to Learn You've Been Fired From Your Life's Work; "Superstore's" Ben Feldman's appearances in "Medium" and "Mad Men"; an appearance by Stan Lee in "The Simpsons"; dueling reviews on the fourth season finale of "Bones"; Apu Nahasapeemapetilon antics and a misdelivered line in "Coming to Homerica," the 20th season finale of "The Simpsons," and "The Golden Compass." In my Current Collection (digital recordings), I recently cataloged Disc X400 in my Current Collection, comments on the FX Pride documentaries ahead of the third and final triumphant season of "Pose," Katey Sagel in "Rebel," the "Scrubs" sixth season musical episode of "My Musical," "Kids in the Hall" and "Chad," and such movies as Frank Sinatra as "Tony Rome" (1967), "Chances Are" (1989), "Pulp Fiction" (1994), "Glass" (2019) and "Gentlemen Prefer Blondes" (1953). In my Streaming activities, I stream the final sixth season episode of "Community" IFC declined to rebroadcast. Also, I highlight Cornstock Theatres' streaming stage production of "Talk Radio" on May 29, ahead of their production of "The Complete Works of Shakespeare (Abriged) [Revised]," with comments on a recent PBS "Great Performances" production of Anton Chekov's "Uncle Vanya." Finally, in "Video Outtakes," I touch on an issue I've struggled with putting this production together: editing my stuttery, stammery recordings, including samples of raw recordings as examples. I appreciate everyone's patience with me in these productions. Onward! TOP TEN: Here's a "top ten" episode guide for people looking for a quick read-in on this blog and podcast effort. Enjoy!

Olympus Texas: By Stacey Swann Website: https://gobookmart.com "There is a surplus of buried hurt and unspoken disappointments within the Briscoe family. It may be difficult for these characters to realize their flaws and tangled desires, but it sure is pleasurable to read about them...I experienced the characters' grief and regret as if they were my own." —New York Times Book Review "The Iliad meets Friday Night Lights in this muscular, captivating debut that reimagines Greek myths in a backwater east Texas town. The abrupt arrival of a ne'er-do-well son disrupts the fragile balance amid a family plagued by erotic trysts, broken promises, and social envy. Readers will thrill to Swann's classical allusion." —Oprah Daily "A unique way to disrupt the conventional family saga...When it comes to family-fiction tropes, Swann has found a way to be persistently, often admirably irreverent.” —USA Today "An action-filled, devastating tale of homecoming." —Minneapolis Star Tribune "Olympus, Texas is the most wildly entertaining novel I've read in a long time, and Stacey Swann is a writer to watch.” —Richard Russo, author of Chances Are . . . "Olympus, Texas is sheer delight: hilarious, heartbreaking, true. I loved this novel." —Amanda Eyre Ward, author of The Jetsetters --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/support

Dans Very Good Trip, deuxième volet de notre série, où l'on va découvrir les premiers sommets de Bob Marley. Parfois des chefs-d'œuvre méconnus, enregistrés au temps où personne ou presque ne le connaissait hors de la Jamaïque. Au temps où, pour ainsi dire, Bob Marley n'était pas encore Bob Marley. Pour beaucoup d'entre nous, l'histoire de Bob Marley n'a commencé que quelques années plus tard, dans la première moitié des années soixante-dix, à Londres, en Angleterre. Quand le fondateur d'une compagnie de disques très réputée, à la pointe de l'avant-garde musicale -elle avait fait connaître notamment les groupes King Crimson et Jethro Tull-, et qui s'appelait Island, comme une île, a décidé de lancer les Wailers. Il s'appelait Chris Blackwell, il était blanc et il les a présentés comme, je cite, des Rolling Stones noirs. C'était dans le but avoué de séduire le public blanc, occidental. Blackwell venait d'une famille très aisée établie à Kingston, la capitale de l'île, où il avait grandi, d'où le nom de sa compagnie. Il cherchait depuis longtemps un moyen de faire connaître au monde entier cette musique jamaïcaine qu'il adorait. Et qui se caractérisait alors par un rythme nouveau, comme déséquilibré, accentuant les contretemps, et qui pouvait dérouter à la première écoute : le reggae. Et il cherchait, il cherchait, sans trouver. Jusqu'au jour où Bob Marley est entré dans son bureau. Et là, pour le citer, il a eu : comme une vision.Pas de doute, c'était lui, Bob Marley, qui allait devenir une star mondiale et ouvrir la porte aux autres. Et Blackwell a eu raison. Mieux, il a été un visionnaire. Parce que, il faut dire les choses comme elles sont, très peu de professionnels y croyaient. Et encore moins les intéressés. Marley et ses camarades en étaient arrivés à un point où ils n'espéraient plus : trop d'échecs, trop de galères, trop d'espoirs déçus. Bob Marley, son cousin Bunny Livingston et Peter Tosh, le trio vocal des Wailers, chantaient ensemble depuis l'adolescence. Ils avaient été le groupe le plus populaire de Jamaïque dans les années soixante. Ils avaient repris, adapté, puis composé et enregistré des dizaines, que dis-je, des centaines de chansons sorties en 45 tours. Nombre de leurs disques avaient été des tubes, leurs concerts avaient attiré les foules, et ils n'en avaient retiré aucun bénéfice. On les avait exploités, escroqués, rançonnés, même, tout s'était mal passé pour eux et ils n'y croyaient plus. Oui, pendant deux ans, les Wailers avaient enchaîné tube sur tube en Jamaïque et ils n'avaient, selon leur témoignage, pas recueilli un centime.Playlist The Wailers : « Simmer Down » extrait de l'album Artistes divers « Studio One Classics » « Mellow Mood » extrait de l'album « All the Hits 1 » Bob Marley & the Wailers : « Rock to the Rock » album « The Complete Wailers 1967 to 1972 - Part 1 » « Bend Down Low (alternate) » extrait de l'album « The Complete Wailers 1967 to 1972 - Part 1 » « Chances Are (alternate) » extrait de l'album « The Complete Wailers 1967 to 1972 - Part 1 » « My Cup » extrait de l'album « Small Axe - The UK Upsetter Recordings, 1970 to 1972 » « Corner Stone » extrait de l'album « Small Axe - The UK Upsetter Recordings, 1970 to 1972 »« Duppy Conqueror » extrait de l'album « Small Axe - The UK Upsetter Recordings, 1970 to 1972 » « Sun Is Shining » extrait de l'album « African Herbsman » « Put It On (alternate) » extrait de l'album « The Complete Wailers 1967 to 1972 - Part 1 » « Black Progress (Medley) » extrait de l'album « The Complete Wailers 1967 to 1972 - Part 1 » « Selassie Is the Chapel » extrait de l'album « The Complete Wailers 1967 to 1972 - Part 1 »

One beautiful September day, three men convene on Martha's Vineyard, friends ever since meeting in college circa the sixties. They couldn't have been more different then, or even today–Lincoln's a commercial real estate broker, Teddy a tiny-press publisher, and Mickey a musician beyond his rockin' age. But each man holds his own secrets, in addition to the monumental mystery that none of them has ever stopped puzzling over since a Memorial Day weekend right here on the Vineyard in 1971: the disappearance of the woman each of them loved–Jacy Calloway. Now, more than forty years later, as this new weekend unfolds, three lives are displayed in their entirety while the distant past confounds the present like a relentless squall of surprise and discovery. Shot through with Russo's trademark comedy and humanity, Chances Are . . . also introduces a new level of suspense and menace that will quicken the reader's heartbeat throughout this absorbing saga of how friendship's bonds are every bit as constricting and rewarding as those of family or any other community.
