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. Their recommendations are lightly edited from the audio heard in the player above. Want to be an Art Hound? Submit here.A Holmesian holiday twistHeidi Dybing of Lanesboro loves the arts scene in her community. She's seen the Commonweal Theatre's production of “A Sherlock Carol” twice and plans to go back for more. The story, she says, is equal parts Sherlock Holmes mystery and Charles Dickens' “A Christmas Carol,” with recognizable lines from each woven into the script. The show runs through Dec. 21.Heidi says: This show is absolutely fantastic. It's eye candy because of the amazing sets with the amazing vintage props all over the stage and the walls and the ceilings. It is very Victorian, with authentic Victorian costumes and music.— Heidi DybingClassical guitar meets civil rights anthemJoe Haus, former president of the Minnesota Guitar Society, recommends seeing the vibraphone and guitar team of Vincent Hyman and Robert Ekstrand in concert at Lynnhurst Congregational UCC in Minneapolis. The duo will perform music spanning three centuries, including classical, jazz, and tango. The Lynnhurst choir will join them to perform Oscar Peterson's “Hymn to Freedom,” a civil rights anthem. The concert is 7 p.m. Friday. Admission is free, with donations accepted for the Sabathani Food Shelf.Joe says: Vince Hyman is one of the best vibe players in town. Bob Ekstrand has been playing guitar forever: playing in rock bands, playing as a solo blues artist, jazz ensembles studying classical guitar. I can't recommend them enough.— Joe HausSketch comedy meets Santa ClausMegan McDonough is a high school theater director who celebrates the season by seeing “Letters to Santa... With a Twist,” a one-woman show by Janelle Ranek. Each year, Ranek co-writes and performs 10 new and returning characters who update Santa on their year and share their holiday wishes. This year's run is at Bryant Lake Bowl in Minneapolis, Dec. 5–22, with all shows at 7 p.m.Megan says: This show is hilarious! It is, it is essentially an individual sketch comedy... the likes of a “Saturday Night Live,” or like a Smosh comedy, where she creates a character, runs with it for a few minutes, and then we change characters, and we get to meet somebody new right afterwards. My favorite is Marjorie. She's a motivational speaker, and there's usually a prop that the audience gets when Marjorie comes up to talk to you.— Megan McDonough

Transcript:Ca: Barcelona bullia d'activitat aquell diumenge de tardor.En: Barcelona was buzzing with activity that autumn Sunday.Ca: El vent suau movia les fulles caigudes, mentre les famílies passejaven pel passeig del Tibidabo.En: The gentle wind moved the fallen leaves, while families strolled along the passeig del Tibidabo.Ca: Era el dia perfecte per a visitar el CosmoCaixa, el museu de la ciència que sempre captivava petits i grans.En: It was the perfect day to visit CosmoCaixa, the science museum that always captivated young and old alike.Ca: Oriol, un arquitecte tranquil de temperament, caminava decidit cap al museu amb Montserrat, la seva amiga amant dels trencaclosques, i Núria, la seva cosina pragmàtica i astuta.En: Oriol, a calm-natured architect, walked determinedly toward the museum with Montserrat, his puzzle-loving friend, and Núria, his pragmatic and clever cousin.Ca: Havien decidit participar en una activitat especial: una sala d'escape ambientada en el món de la ciència.En: They had decided to participate in a special activity: an escape room themed around the world of science.Ca: "Ets segur que això funcionarà, Oriol?En: "Are you sure this will work, Oriol?"Ca: " va preguntar Núria, dubtosa però amb un somriure increïblement enginyós a la cara.En: asked Núria, doubtful but with an incredibly witty smile on her face.Ca: Oriol volia impressionar Montserrat amb les seves habilitats per resoldre problemes.En: Oriol wanted to impress Montserrat with his problem-solving skills.Ca: Va llegir ràpidament el fulletó de l'activitat, fent un senyal d'afirmació amb el cap.En: He quickly read through the activity flyer, nodding affirmatively.Ca: "És clar, Núria!En: "Of course, Núria!Ca: Només hem de seguir les instruccions", va respondre amb confiança.En: We just have to follow the instructions," he replied confidently.Ca: Però alguna cosa no funcionava bé.En: But something wasn't going quite right.Ca: Mentre travessaven les galeries del museu, plenes d'exposicions interactives i infants emocionats, van acabar davant d'una porta discreta.En: As they walked through the museum's galleries, filled with interactive exhibits and excited children, they ended up in front of a discreet door.Ca: Contra tot sentit comú, Oriol insistí que aquell era l'inici de l'activitat.En: Against all common sense, Oriol insisted that this was the start of the activity.Ca: La porta es va obrir fàcilment.En: The door opened easily.Ca: Els tres es van trobar en una petita sala sense finestres, acompanyats de caixes apilades i material de neteja.En: The three of them found themselves in a small windowless room, surrounded by stacked boxes and cleaning supplies.Ca: Montserrat es va quedar de braços creuats, intentant contenir una rialla.En: Montserrat stood with arms crossed, trying to contain a laugh.Ca: "Oriol, estem a un rebost!En: "Oriol, we're in a storage room!"Ca: "Ell, decidit a no mostrar inseguretat, va dir: "Potser és part del joc.En: He, determined not to show insecurity, said, "Maybe it's part of the game.Ca: Hem de sortir-ne d'alguna manera.En: We have to find a way out."Ca: " Va prendre una escombra, pensant que seria útil per alguna pista amagada.En: He picked up a broom, thinking it might be useful for finding a hidden clue.Ca: Passaven els minuts, i les rialles i comentaris irònics de les noies van començar a augmentar.En: Minutes passed, and the laughter and ironic comments from the girls began to increase.Ca: Però Oriol seguia obstinat, convençut que estaven seguint el pla.En: But Oriol remained stubborn, convinced they were following the plan.Ca: Finalment, la porta es va obrir des de fora.En: Finally, the door opened from the outside.Ca: Un treballador del museu, amb un somriure incrèdul, es quedà mirant-los.En: A museum worker, with an incredulous smile, looked at them.Ca: "Estic segur que aquí no és on heu de jugar", va dir amb to amable però clarament divertit.En: "I'm sure this is not where you're supposed to play," he said in a friendly but clearly amused tone.Ca: En aquell moment, Oriol no va poder evitar riure amb Montserrat i Núria.En: At that moment, Oriol couldn't help but laugh with Montserrat and Núria.Ca: Les rialles van omplir l'espai estret, i la tensió va desaparèixer.En: The laughter filled the cramped space, and the tension disappeared.Ca: "Suposo que vaig llegir les instruccions malament", va admetre Oriol, ruboritzat però alleujat.En: "I guess I read the instructions wrong," admitted Oriol, blushing but relieved.Ca: Montserrat li va fer un copet a l'espatlla.En: Montserrat patted him on the shoulder.Ca: "No passa res, Oriol.En: "It's okay, Oriol.Ca: Almenys hem tingut una bona aventura aquí dins.En: At least we had a good adventure in here."Ca: "Quan sortiren del museu, sense cap mena de dubte, Oriol havia après que a vegades l'encant rau en riure's d'un mateix i acceptar els errors.En: When they left the museum, without a doubt, Oriol had learned that sometimes the charm lies in laughing at oneself and accepting mistakes.Ca: Amb el sol de tardor encara il·luminant la ciutat, els tres amics se'n van anar a gaudir de la resta del dia, encara rient del seu peculiar experiment de ciència.En: With the autumn sun still illuminating the city, the three friends went off to enjoy the rest of the day, still laughing about their peculiar science experiment.Ca: Així, Oriol va comprendre que, de vegades, ser imperfecte et fa més proper.En: Thus, Oriol understood that sometimes being imperfect makes you more relatable.Ca: I amb això, va guanyar no només la simpatia de Montserrat, sinó també un record inoblidable replet de somriures.En: And with that, he gained not only Montserrat's sympathy but also an unforgettable memory full of smiles.

1. INTRO / TEASER Hosts banter:Set the scene: “Right now, we're in the middle of a Second Date Update — trying to help Missy reconnect with Todd.”Mention that Missy thought everything went great. 2. RECAP OF THE FIRST DATE Host dialogue:Missy's side: “She said the date went great — good food, good conversation, he was a total gentleman.”“She's confused — she even reached out first, which, you know, is a big step!”Set up the call: “Let's get Todd on the phone and see what happened.” 3. CALL WITH TODD Todd joins the call.Hosts thank him for coming on, explain the situation briefly.Todd hesitates but agrees to talk.Todd's explanation:“She's a good woman, but she has… interesting views.”Hosts probe: “Interesting how? Political?”Todd: “No, dinosaurs.”Hosts react:Surprise, laughter, disbelief.“Wait — dinosaurs?”Todd explains:Missy doesn't believe dinosaurs ever existed.Thinks fossils and museums are “a ploy” to make money.Hosts recap and react with humor.4. MISSY JOINS THE CALL Hosts bring Missy on.“Missy, you've been listening — does that sound right?”Missy defends herself:Says she's being judged for having “a different opinion.”Claims dinosaurs are “a Halloween hoax.”Thinks fossils are planted or man-made.Todd responds:Politely calls her theory “baseless.”Says he felt uncomfortable when she got defensive.Hosts mediate:Try to find middle ground — “What if you just don't talk about dinosaurs?”Todd declines — says it'd come up again eventually.Comedic moment:Launa mispronounces Triceratops as “Tricereptus.”Hosts joke lightly to keep tone playful. 5. CONCLUSION Hosts wrap up:“Well, looks like no second date here.”Todd bows out respectfully.Missy frustrated but stands by her beliefs.Funny sign-off:“Hey, Missy, maybe date a flat-earther next time.”Hosts laugh, music fades in.Reflection:“You never know what's going to come up on a first date — politics, pineapple on pizza… or prehistoric creatures.”See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Swenson is excited for a new retrospective coffee table book, “Marley Kaul: Paintings,” covering six decades of his work.Book launch events include:Sept. 18, 5–8 p.m. at Open Book in MinneapolisSept. 23, 5–7 p.m. at the Watermark Arts Center in BemidjiSept. 25, 5–7 p.m. at the North Dakota Museum of Art in Grand ForksA corresponding retrospective exhibition of Kaul's work is also on view at the Talley Gallery at Bemidji State University through Oct. 30.Paula recalls one memorable moment turned painting: My husband and I were over to his house, talking to him, and just at that time, a bird of prey flew under the deck — under Marley. It was just that fast. And later on in that month, we went to visit, and Marley had done a painting of that experience, of the bird flying underneath him, under the deck and out again. — Paula SwensonA call and response: Peter Williams at MCADIndependent curator and art consultant Esther Callahan recommends “Peter Williams: Homegoing — A Call and Response,” on view at the Minneapolis College of Art and Design through Nov. 1.Esther says: The longer you look, the more you will see the depth of connections that are built into the space. For example, there are sight lines in this exhibition that have artists like Russell Hamilton directly communicating with seangarrison that beautifully builds on the narrative that is foregrounded in this exhibition by Peter Williams in memory and remembrance of his passing in 2021. This exhibit itself is rooted in honoring the complex experiences of Black Americans through historical and contemporary narratives with both a really good sense of humor and candid honesty. It's really important to note that this exhibit is supported by a chorus of 15 Minnesota-based Black artists responding to Williams profoundly human, critical and beautiful work.— Esther CallahanSongs with names take center stageAllison Amy Wedell of St. Paul is Alto 2 Section Leader of the Twin Cities Women's Choir. She's looking forward to the comedic cabaret “What's In a Name?” happening for one night only on Sept. 22 at the Hive Collaborative in St. Paul.Allison says: “What's in a Name?” is the brainchild of local actress and singer Jen Maren and local pianist and teacher, Andrew Fleser, who noticed the impressive and varied array of songs with names for titles and decided we needed to hear as many of them as they could fit into one show! I'm already familiar with Jen Maren's work, especially in her role as the murderess Marjorie Congdon in “Glensheen” at the History Theatre, but I understand that for the first time, she weaved some original stand-up comedy in among the music.Fleser's gorgeous accompaniment and quiet zingers provide the perfect foil for Maren's raucous charm.— Allison Amy WedellCorrection (Sept. 20, 2025): An earlier version of this story misstated the singer's name in the comedic cabaret section and the Art Hound's name. The story has been updated with the correct names.

Willie Geist gets together with comedy icon Will Ferrell to talk about Ferrell's time on SNL, the famous movie lines that are always quoted back to him and his new movie, "You're Cordially Invited" where he stars alongside Reese Witherspoon. (Original broadcast date February 2025)

After experiencing the complexity of migrating to the U.S. “the right way,” comedian Felipe Torres Medina set out to write a book that was informative but also fun. His goal: to help “remove the weight around the subject of immigration.” The writer for The Late Show with Stephen Colbert published "America Let Me In," which breaks down the serpentine world of visas and legal migration—with a lot of laughs along the way. “Out of respect” for the horrors and challenges of being undocumented, Torres Medina doesn’t touch on those stories in his book. Listen to his conversation with Latino USA. Latino USA is the longest-running news and culture radio program in the U.S., centering Latino stories and hosted by Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Maria Hinojosa.

Matt and Oren dig into the creative choices director's make. And they kick it off by looking at the growing influence of AI on the process. They also tackle casting and why it's more than just finding the “right” actor. But also, what makes for the right actor in a commercial? Comedic timing, tone, understanding the game, our grasp of something else? They also share how many actors they callback and put on avail. And what happens when an actor crushes the audition but doesn't book it. Do you tell them?You'll find some tips on how to invite creative collaboration, whether wardrobe, production design, or with your DP, in a way that encourages suggestions for plus-ing the production. But, without sounding like a film school director who doesn't know, or is too afraid, to make choices.---Get a great deal on Magic Mind! https://magicmind.com/shootitjune NEW LINK!! Matt's Endorsement: If you have a Loog Guitar for kids https://loogguitars.com/, get a guitar strap.

It's Part TWO with the hilarious Bill Burr. And guess what... Bill Burr flies helicopters. For real. And he's telling Steve all about it - why he wanted to, how he learned, where and when he practices, and if he's ever had any close calls! He's also giving an inside look at the writer's room of his Netflix show, "F Is For Family," what it's like working with Vince Vaughan (the producer backing the show), why he relates to crying babies on planes, when he stopped working clean, and if there's really such a thing as "extra bits" in stand-up.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Bill Burr is one of the funniest comics working today, but as you'll hear straight from his mouth, his was no overnight success! He talks about how he got his start, his early days doing open mics, the good and bad gigs, and his big break. He and Steve also discuss the parallels between the pro-wrestling and comedy biz - road travel, paying your dues, and working the crowd. And Bill is a huge wrestling fan (thanks to friend, the late, great Patrice O'Neal), and has a couple of his own Hulk Hogan stories to share.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
