After recently moving to a small town, a man takes his daughter to the library—only to find something far more compelling across the street: a centuries-old cemetery. What starts as a casual walk becomes a chilling series of EVP sessions that capture voices both tragic and terrifying. A female voice asks, “Are you Tony?” while another male voice gruffly answers. Another session includes an eerie “I have to kill,” a whispered name correction, and a little girl's haunting phrase: “I have an angel.” With nothing but a smartphone, patience, and curiosity, he uncovers a chorus of voices—some aware of him, others repeating messages long after death.

He's also served as editor for several anthologies. His next novel, Bright Monday, will be published in 2026. His novels frequently, though not always, deal with issues in the gay community. Alan Turing was one of the twentieth century's greatest mathematicians. Along with leading the team that created the enigma machine, which broke German codes, his later work on the nascent world of computers has never been fully recognized.   Terrence McNally (1938-2020), Noted American Playwright Terrence McNally (1938-2020), four time Tony Award winner, who frequently focused on the gay experience in his work. in conversation with Richard Wolinsky, recorded at New Conservatory Theatre Center in San Francisco, March 18, 2004. Terrence McNally, who died of complications from COVID on March 24, 2020  at the age of 81, was a giant of the American theatre. He received tony awards for his plays Love Valour Compassion and Master Class, and for best book for a musical for Kiss of the Spider Woman and Ragtime. His plays, musicals and operas have been performed around the world. Among his other plays were Lisbon Traviata, Lips Together Teeth Apart, The Ritz, and Frankie and Johnnie in the Claire de Lune.

What do a jaded weatherman and a bloodthirsty Pharisee have in common? In this episode, Jack explores the radically different—but equally transforming—power of grace in the lives of Phil Connors (Groundhog Day) and the apostle Paul. Using Paul's conversion in Acts 9 as a springboard, this solo episode highlights the stunning reality of salvation by sovereign grace. Jack walks through the biblical text, reflects on Paul's post-conversion transformation, shares the gripping story of a Japanese death row inmate turned Christian, and reminds listeners: no one is too far gone. If you've ever doubted the power of the gospel to change a life—this episode is for you.   For a limited time, The Chorus in the Chaos listeners get 10% off their first purchase at Reformation Heritage Books!

Bookwaves/Artwaves is produced and hosted by Richard Wolinsky. Links to assorted local theater & book venues   John Fisher, Theatre Rhinoceros Photo credit: Scott Sidorsky John Fisher, Artistic Director of Theatre Rhino, and writer/performer/co-director of “The Doodler,” now at The Marsh in San Francisco through July 6, 2025, in conversation with Richard Wolinsky. Theatre Rhino is the longest running LGBTQ+ theatre company in America, and John Fisher has been its Artistic Director since 2002. His show, “The Doodler” concerns a serial killer off gay men in the mid-1970s in San Francisco and is based on an actual case in which a  young man would approach gay men in a bar with a drawing, a doodle, he'd made of them, and then invite them to a secluded location. Between six and thirteen men were killed. It's a true-crime story that also involves police indifference and homophobia. In this interview, John Fisher discusses how he came to work on the piece, the history behind it, and Rhino's upcoming show, “The Laramie Project.”     Edmund White (1940-2025) Photo: David Shankbone Edmund White (1940-2025) in conversation with Richard Wolinsky, recorded in the KPFA Studio while he was on tour for his memoir, “My Lives: An Autobiography,” on May 4, 2006. Edmund White, who died on June 3, 2025 at the age of 85, was often called the Grandfather of gay literature. Equally at home writing novels, biographies, plays, memoirs, essays and various hybrids, he was a pioneer in the LBGT world, one of the first gay novelists to achieve literary fame, the co[author in 1977 of The Joy of Gay Sex, along with a ground breaking trilogy of novels based on his own life, several memoirs, three well received biographies, and various collections of essays. Winner of the Lambda Literary Award and nominated several times, nominated for the Pulitzer and winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for his biography of Jean Genet, winner of the National Book Foundation Lifetime Achievement Award and the PEN/Saul Bellow Award, Edmund White has also been called the Patron Saint of Gay Literature.

The nightmarish home stand continued on Tuesday night in the Nats 10th consecutive defeat. Mark & Al are dumbfounded after the 10-6 loss where Colorado hit five homers in a span of eight hitters in the late innings. Will a major change happen soon in the clubhouse?(16:00) Cole Henry was the main culprit for the Rockies avalanche in the top of the 7th as he allowed four runs without a recording a single out. Jackson Rutledge also struggled in that frame as he ceded back to back homers.(20:05) Michael Soroka lasted six innings, but did issue three "hit by pitch". Soroka gave up a pair of homers and has given up ten in just nine starts this season.(24:00) The offense totaled six runs, but most of that came later after already trailing 10-1. Brady House had a pair of hits and his first career RBI while Nathaniel Lowe & Luis Garcia Jr. each homered in the final frames.(28:10) When is the last time the home crowd booed the Nationals?(31:00) Josh Whetzel, Voice of the Rochester Red Wings, provides his weekly update from AAA.

I didn't think I'd be adding a chorus pedal back to my board… until a recent session totally changed my mind.In this video, I talk about the TC Electronic Stereo Chorus Flanger — a pedal that quietly shaped the Nashville sound in the '80s and '90s. It was originally built in Denmark back in 1976 as a studio-friendly chorus with super low noise and a clean, transparent sound. Turns out, that clarity is exactly what made it a favorite for tons of session players — and even guys like Eric Johnson for his legendary clean tone.After dusting one off in the studio recently, I remembered why this thing was so loved — and now it's officially earned its spot back on my board.If you're into that classic shimmer or just curious why chorus is cool again, stick around.To Support the Channel:Patreon  https://www.patreon.com/AskZacTip jar:  https://paypal.me/AskZacVenmo @AskZac Or check out my store for merch  - https://my-store-be0243.creator-spring.com/Support the show

The Mindfulness and Wellbeing in the Law Committee returns to the airwaves to give you the lawyer's perspective on the healing power of music. Scott Mason, Nancy Batterman and Kathryn Schneider explore the mindfulness practices inherent to musical artistry, and the way that those practices can inform a life in the law. Nancy and Kathy share their personal journeys in the City Bar Chorus and the strong sense of community they have built there. The episode gives a new framing for some of the challenging aspects of the legal profession, like performing under pressure and navigating a proclivity for perfectionism. We close with a guided meditation and a poem by Rumi, emphasizing the spiritual and emotional dimensions of engaging with music. Kathryn Schneider is the Musical Director of the New York City Bar Chorus, which is giving two public concerts (with identical setlists) in June 2025 at the House of the Association showcasing musical theater and film selections, including from Sweeney Todd, Encanto, Kinky Boots, The Greatest Showman and Wicked, as well as inventive arrangements of songs by artists ranging from Billy Joel to Bruno Mars, Billie Eilish to Beyoncé, and more. Donations at the door will benefit the City Bar Fund and the Chorus.

Insect calls in distinctive stereo fields and frogs singing and calling in the background. Subtle Church music can be heard in the background.  This place which used to be a thriving wetland, is now a mixture of natural and human acoustic activity. The recordings here are being used to monitor/observe as well as archive diverse “remnant” species there and finally, as a tool for raising awareness about fragile ecosystems. This is a recording of Soundscape Ecology mentee Emmanuel Baffoe from Pantuase, Ghana. Recording date: 22nd November 2024.

"This sound was all recorded and played, composed by me/the last parts with Mubilla  my mother. A field recording from a walk at Mt. Mitake is mainly walking. I enjoy  creating sound walks - in Japanese this is "osanpo". The osanpo with the Ghana Pantuase recording  was a great moment, thank you!" Chorus of insects in Pantuase, Ghana reimagined by Ayane Sato.

"Back in 1973 Muhammad Ali knocks out George Foreman in what was called The Rumble in the Jungle. This victory inspires Johnny Wakelin to write the song Black Superman. He gets a hit with it. So what other songs are written for or about athletes. We have a list."

Verdi's Requiem Mass, in its fervent quest for eternal rest, stands as a powerful demonstration of the composer's ability to harness the human voice. Hailed by NPR as “simply magnificent” for their two-time Grammy Award-winning CSO Resound recording of this work, Riccardo Muti and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and Chorus are joined by a thrilling quartet of international singers to once again deliver a masterful blend of passion and precision. Please note: This program replaces Berlioz's The Damnation of Faust. Learn more: cso.org/performances/24-25/cso-classical/muti-verdi-requiem

Today on conduct(her) Kyra and McKenna interview Zimfira Poloz who serves as Professor of Vocal Pedagogy for Choirs at the University of Toronto's Faculty of Music and is the Artistic Director of the world-renowned Toronto Children's Chorus.

In this episode, the guys tackle the Eighth Commandment—“You shall not steal”—and unpack its serious implications in Scripture and society. From childhood stories of stolen gum and vanished bikes to million-dollar scams and Netflix password sharing, they explore the heart of theft in all its forms. With their trademark humor and biblical depth, Jack, Blake, and Grayson explain why stealing isn't just bad manners—it's rebellion against God's law, an assault on human dignity, and a breakdown of societal trust.   For a limited time, The Chorus in the Chaos listeners get 10% off their first purchase at Reformation Heritage Books!

“Everything changed for the gay choral movement because they had twins: music and mission. They weren't just there for the music, and they weren't just there for the mission. I've been feeding my twins every day, and I feed them equally. Audiences that are interested in just music for music making are dying out. There are a lot more reasons to get them in: many concerts can reach into the community and be of service.”Tim Seelig is a conductor, speaker, author and educator.

There are alarm bells ringing for some households in remote parts of the country as Chorus looks to phase out the use of its copper network to replace with fibre. The copper network is what we need for old-school landlines and broadband internet. But the commerce commission is looking to wind it back, it has closed submissions on a draft recommendation to stop copper from being used in urban and rural areas. The Media and Communications Minister is due to make a decision by the end of the year. If it goes ahead though some people left without copper won't have access to get help in an emergency or stay connected. Bella Craig reports.

Send us a textAI Friday delivers cutting-edge insights as John Huber reveals how artificial intelligence is transforming customer success operations. The conversation explores practical AI applications that are already delivering results, from conversation intelligence tools like Chorus for team coaching and customer context gathering, to emerging platforms like Sturdy that analyze unstructured data across email, Slack, and support tickets to identify churn risks and expansion opportunities. John challenges the overhyped notion that AI will replace CSMs, emphasizing instead how it amplifies human capabilities and enables more strategic engagement. The discussion culminates with an intriguing experiment: using custom GPTs for renewal pricing strategy that combines deal structure recommendations with benefit articulation. This customer success playbook episode demonstrates how forward-thinking CS leaders are leveraging AI to scale their impact while maintaining the human connections that drive customer loyalty.Detailed AnalysisThe episode showcases a mature understanding of AI implementation in customer success, moving beyond theoretical possibilities to practical applications with measurable business impact. John's progression from early adoption of Chorus to exploration of comprehensive platforms like Sturdy illustrates the rapid evolution of AI tools specifically designed for CS operations.The discussion of unstructured data analysis represents a significant leap forward in customer intelligence capabilities. Traditional CS platforms focus primarily on structured data points, but John's experience with AI-powered analysis of emails, support tickets, and communication channels opens new possibilities for early risk detection and opportunity identification. This capability addresses a long-standing challenge in customer success: the inability to systematically analyze the vast amount of unstructured communication that contains critical insights about customer health and growth potential.John's perspective on AI replacing CSMs demonstrates thoughtful leadership in an era of technological disruption. His emphasis on AI as an enabler rather than a replacement aligns with successful digital transformation strategies across industries. The human element remains crucial for building trust, navigating complex customer relationships, and making nuanced decisions that require emotional intelligence.The custom GPT experiment for renewal pricing represents the frontier of AI applications in CS operations. This use case demonstrates how AI can be trained on specific business contexts to provide both analytical recommendations and strategic guidance, potentially transforming how CS teams approach contract negotiations and renewal conversations.For CS leaders, this episode provides a roadmap for AI adoption that balances innovation with practical implementation, emphasizing tools that enhance rather than replace human capabilities.Now you can interact with us directly by leaving a voice message at https://www.speakpipe.com/CustomerSuccessPlaybookPlease Like, Comment, Share and Subscribe.

Happy Pride, everyone! After last weekend's joyous Mighty Hoopla festival, we simply had to jump on - with utterly fried vocal chords - to debrief and unpack our highlights with you! We're so excited to have the reactions and reflections from Dannii Minogue and incredible performers (and friends of the pod) Tom Aspaul, Pixie Lott, Amy Studt and Craig from the London Gay Men's Chorus who sang on the main stage with Samantha Mumba. This is the first time in our seven-year history where your RBAY boys have done a post-festival highlights episode but since there were so many moments that were euphoric and specific to us 2000s pop fans - it called for a special. From A*Teens to Heidi Montag, Ciara to Supersister and many more meauxments... we hope this recap transports you to the glitter and disco-filled ambience of Brockwell Park!

This week on “Talk About Las Vegas With Ira,” Ira catches up with Ryan Duff, the passionate artistic director of the Las Vegas Men's Chorus. The group is gearing up for its Season 32 finale, “Broadway Our Way,” at UNLV's Artemus W. Ham Concert Hall on June 29. In this episode, Ryan shares how 100 powerful voices will come together to reimagine beloved Broadway classics—with a twist only the Las Vegas Men's Chorus can deliver. It's a heartfelt tribute to the legendary composers whose work has shaped the stage and stirred souls from Broadway to the world. Ryan opens up about his career—from globe-trotting performer to high school music director, and ultimately, to leading one of Las Vegas' most celebrated vocal ensembles. He dives into what it takes to organize a hundred singers, manage weekly rehearsals, and cultivate harmony among a chorus of dedicated volunteers. He also reflects on how the group navigated an identity crisis when he first came on board, the chorus' unique buddy system to welcome new members, and the dynamic programming behind their shows—including both familiar showstoppers and surprising selections. “Broadway Our Way” features 15–20 fully memorized numbers (no reading!), choreography, and a powerful emotional core.

In today's America there are those who claim that, under the guise of "protecting" children, they should be gender transitioned. Some are so adamant about this that they believe it should be done away from the attention of parents, parents who refuse to be affirming of a gender identity that doesn't match the child's biological sex. Returning to Crosstalk to put the spotlight on this issue was Alex Newman. Alex is an award-winning international freelance journalist, author, researcher, educator and consultant. He is senior editor for The New American. According to Alex, children all over America are being given what's called, "Gender Affirming Care." He described this as, "...surgical mutilation of a child's genitals, this is double mastectomies on little girls, this is castration of little boys; this is horrific, irreversible surgery that will forever sterilize these children." Sadly, he also pointed out that government has a part in facilitating and encouraging this. Review this important program so you understand how this points to the fact that your children and grandchildren are the targets of LGBTQ activists. Hear the proof from the activists themselves as Jim played audio from a gay pride parade in New York City, the Gay Men's Chorus in San Francisco and drag queen Dylan Pontiff. However, that's not all. Listen as Jim presents the troubling testimony of Dustin Gonzales, a father in the state of Colorado, whose daughter was groomed at school to believe she was a different gender. The school knew he would not be supportive of this so they hid it from him for 2 years. Listeners capped the broadcast by presenting their views.
