Episode 161In today's guest episode I will be discussing Shakespeare's characterisations of the lower classes and looking at the role they play with Stephen Unwin, who's book ‘Poor Naked Wretches' explores the variety of working people in Shakespeare's plays as well as a vast range of cultural sources from which they were drawn and argues that the robust realism of these characters makes them so much more than mere Comic Relief.

He has directed almost 100 professional productions and worked with many well-established actors and singers, as well as developing the careers of many younger ones. He studied at the University of Cambridge.In the 1980s Stephen worked at the Almeida Theatre, London, the Traverse in Edinburgh, in repertoire theatre and at the National Theatre Studio. In 1993, he founded English Touring Theatre, for whom he directed more than 30 productions of classical and new plays, many of which transferred to London. In 2008, he became Artistic Director of the new Rose Theatre in Kingston, which he ran until January 2014. He has worked extensively at the Theatre Royal Bath and has directed more than 20 operas. Ten of his productions have been seen in the West End.Stephen has taught in conservatoires and universities in Britain and America and written 10 books on theatre and drama, including ‘Poor Naked Wretches'. He has also written five original plays: ‘All Our Children' was premiered at Jermyn Street Theatre in 2017 and staged in New York in 2019, and ‘Laughing Boy' opened at Jermyn Street in 2024 and also played at the Theatre Royal Bath. Stephen is a campaigner for the rights and dignities of learning-disabled people and ‘Beautiful Lives: How We Got Learning Disabilities So Wrong', is published by Wildfire Book in June 2025.This is only a shortened version of Stephen's achievements and I would encourage you to visit his website for much more information.

It's Red Nose Day! The 40th anniversary of Comic Relief, no less, so Rob and Guy took time from their busy schedule prepping series 4 of Britcom Goes to the Movies to release a Red Nose Day special in which they run down their top five Comic Relief comedy moments. There have been so many great sketches and live comedy moments over the course of the last 40 years since Richard Curtis and Lenny Henry set up the charity. Who can forget Dawn French snogging Hugh Grant, Billy Connolly dancing around Trafalgar Square in the buff, and of course, Hale and Pace putting a red nose on their conks and performing The Stonk?

What does it take to turn tragedy into triumph?This week on The Runna Podcast, we sit down with Billy Monger—a racing prodigy turned endurance athlete whose resilience has shattered expectations. At just 10 years old, Billy was a rising star in motorsport, winning the British Championship and competing in British F4. But in 2017, at just 17 years old, his life changed in an instant after a high-speed crash at Donington Park left him in a coma for three days and resulted in the amputation of both legs.Rather than letting his story end there, Billy fought back, proving that no obstacle is too great to overcome and his mindset is admirable. We spoke about:

This old school educational trick could change your classroom… Our hosts Devin Siebold and James Yon are meeting in the dojo on this week's episode of Crying In My Car, a podcast for teachers. In a world so focused on grades and tangible achievements, we often forget to ask what's best for education? This week they are going to go over odd classroom tendencies that teachers claim are absolute game changers for education.  Now we all know that education is hyper focused on subjects like math and science, but do you think that it would be more beneficial to focus on encouraging creativity to shape their young minds? Today our hosts are going to be discussing the pros and cons of sending your kids to a specialized art school and how it can impact their overall education. Speaking of alternative ways of teaching, we got news of one teacher who decided it was a good idea to teach karate in their classroom. Now we don't want to give away too much, but the results were interesting to say the least. Not only does it teach valuable skills, but it also helps release their built-up energy (and maybe some frustration, too).  Finally, have we strayed too far from tradition? Far gone are the days of using pen and paper and looking at physical report cards. With the rise of technology, are students and parents losing valuable skills, or is technology innovating education? Tune in to hear our take!   Support the Podcast on Patreon: patreon.com/cryinginmycar    Follow Devin at http://DevinComedy.com  https://www.tiktok.com/@devincomedy?lang=en  https://www.instagram.com/devinsiebold/  https://x.com/teachercomic    Follow James at http://JamesYon.com  https://www.tiktok.com/@jamesyoncomedy  https://www.instagram.com/jamesyoncomedian/    Jump right in! 2:15 – Unlocking Success Through Arts 7:30 – From Karate Kid to Master 13:45 – Substitute Teachers' Classroom Revelations 20:20 – Comic Relief for Teacher Burnout 28:30 – Creative Sparks in Education 34:50 – Navigating Student Behavior   So grab your gi and make sure your white belt is on tight because you'll need it on this week's episode of Crying In My Car, a podcast for teachers.  _________________________________________________________ Crying In My Car Podcast with Devin Siebold & James Yon

Emma wears a million hats, each of them bigger than the next, from producer to script editor to exec producer of Comic Relief to broadcaster to writer to painter to girlfriend to mother of Spike, Charlie, Jake and Scarlett. Emma and Brooke ANALYZE (as only a Freud can) how Americans have destroyed sausages. As well as look further into the psychology of Twitter and the Johnny and Amber trial. And obviously so much more.    Pop Culture Mondays Newsletter: https://popculturemondays.com Brooke's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/brooke/  Brooke's Twitter: https://twitter.com/brooke   Brooke's TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@brookehammerling   Potato's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/potato/

Visuals: https://getbehindthebillboard.com/episode-80-mary-wearEpisode #80 features copywriter extraordinaire Mary Wear.Mary wrote possibly the most important endline in the history of advertising: ‘Make Poverty History' for Comic Relief in 2004 … a line and movement that involved Richard Curtis, World Leaders and saving lives. The line was everywhere - posters, bus sides, advans, on underpants, on Bono's arm, on the side of St Paul's Cathedral and the coup de grâce, on a lectern in front of Nelson Mandela, who was chanting the words ‘Make Poverty History' to thousands gathered in Trafalgar Square.That is more than most people's entire careers and would easily have been enough to fill the episode. The way Mary tells the story of how the line came about is wonderfully humble, involving a planner and a rather talented chap called Peter Souter.But Mary is no one-trick pony. Her locker is full of great work.Starving a parking meter for TfL was a lesson in never giving up, even when the model maker had ruined the idea. What could have been a catastrophe turned into a seminal award-winning piece of work.Then there was seemingly endless more award winning work for The Economist, the Famous Grouse (a double, a small one, a quick one, a large one - they all went down well) plus an Anti-Smoking like never before. Her partnership with Damon Collins at GGT, Saatchi's and AMV was brilliant and prolific.We even had time for some Russian Vodka and flapjacks ;-)Thank you Mary for coming on and sharing some of the industry's greatest OOH work. It was a real privilege.

In this episode of the Women on the Move Podcast Alison Moore, who excelled in media and technology leadership, discusses her journey to becoming CEO of Comic Relief US. She joins Women on the Move host, Sam Saperstein, to share how her passion for the creative arts led to a varied career. Alison has championed innovative ways to engage audiences and amplify social impact, and she remains committed to community empowerment.   After earning a political science degree, Alison nearly pursued a career on Capitol Hill but chose a job at Turner Broadcasting in Atlanta instead. This decision launched her "media journey," with roles at HBO, DailyCandy, NBCUniversal, and as Chief Business Officer at Condé Nast, overseeing brands like Glamour and Allure. She later joined SoundCloud, driven by her love for creativity.   Despite the varied roles, Alison sees a common thread: a desire to support creativity and connect the dots in business operations. While initially hesitant about joining the non-profit sector, she saw how her creativity could be leveraged to support the mission of creating a world free from poverty through activations such as Red Nose Day. Comic Relief US leverages entertainment and joy to inspire change, using humor and levity to engage people in meaningful ways.   Disclaimer: The speakers' opinions belong to them and may differ from opinions of JPMorgan Chase & Co. and its affiliates.

Send us a textComedian and writer Corey Marshall joins us to share his unexpected journey into the world of stand-up comedy. Imagine turning a life-altering event like a divorce into an opportunity for reinvention. Corey did just that, boldly stepping onto the stage for his first-ever one-man show without any prior experience. His fearless leap into comedy not only led to a successful debut but also caught the attention of influencers from New York's Caroline Comedy Club. However, it wasn't all smooth sailing—Corey reflects on the humbling experiences of witnessing fellow comedians bomb on stage, teaching him resilience and the importance of maintaining confidence in the face of potential failure. With 13 years in the industry, Corey offers insights into the hard-won lessons that have shaped his comedic career.From being inspired by legends like Bill Cosby, Dave Chappelle, and Eddie Murphy, Corey's journey has evolved from stand-up to exciting new ventures in writing. He shares how the storytelling finesse of these iconic figures and shows like Comic Relief and the Blue Collar Comedy Tour have influenced his comedic style. Transitioning from the stage to creative writing, Corey explores opportunities in script punch-ups and even ventures into crafting horror and metaverse-themed comic book series. We also discuss practical tips for aspiring comedians and the significance of embracing one's unique voice.

SERIES 3 EPISODE 48: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN Three times this weekend Trump announced he will invoke "The Alien Enemies Act" which gives him the personal, arbitrary power to send to a concentration camp, or to deport, anybody in this country based on their race. Make no mistake that he means it. Trump's anti-immigrant, specifically anti-Hispanic, hate speech has now climaxed with a promise to invoke the 1798 law that permits the president – in war time – to arrest and detain or deport without a hearing or without evidence of crime – American citizens and others – at his personal whim – based on their race. NOT where they were born, NOT whether they've committed or been suspected of a crime, NOT whether they are here legally or illegally. Based on their race.  The last time this country used it, in one of the most shameful episodes in our history, they rounded up the Japanese. Nearly all that lived in the Continental United States. Nearly none of them accused of crimes. Nearly all of whom had been born here. And you were Japanese, if you were one-sixteenth Japanese. The latest New York Times-Siena poll shows that among Hispanic voters Harris leads Trump by only 54 to 36. Mike Podhorzer, the recently retired political director of the AFL-CIO, explains that this poll number is just what you think it is. “When we do focus groups with the segment of Latinos that are answering survey questions saying that they're comfortable with mass deportation, what comes out quickly is” nobody has told them that things like the Alien Enemies Act gives Trump the PERSONAL right to send to concentrate camps or expel from this country, not criminals, not suspects, not undocumented immigrants, not gang members, not rapists, not murderers, but THEM. Then, says Podhorzer, you explain: Trump will have the right to expel your wife. And your children. And you. And no lawyer or court can stop him. What happens then? “That focus group flips.” Kamala Harris needs to get a direct-to-camera commercial up immediately warning Hispanics in this country that Trump can and will send to concentration camps, without as much as a hearing, their relatives and friends...and them. AS TRUMP SAYS THE MILITARY SHOULD BE DEPLOYED during this election, we learn he really wanted to use it to back a "new election" in the summer of 2021. And the media is still responding by saying that his return to power would be a "boon" to the business side of news. Not even Andrew Ross Sorkin, nominally an economics guy at CNN, seems to understand that Trump will happily declare that "The Alien Enemies Act" can be applied to an industry and shut down all the news organizations, seize their assets, and turn them into state-run media. After all, that's what Hitler did. THE COMIC RELIEF? J.D. Vance says he forgot to wear his earrings to a town hall. Misplaced them? I think I know where you should look for them, Jayvee.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
