Costello is once again late for the show. He explained that he just came from a wedding. The event may have inspired him to also get married, but it also…

The Government's making moves on aged care reform - hoping to better meet New Zealanders' needs. It's establishing a Ministerial Advisory Group to recommend changes to the aged care funding model - expected by mid-next year. The group will also look at the changes needed to support integration between aged care and health and disability services. Associate Health Minister Casey Costello told Ryan Bridge most people want to stay at home for as long as possible, so they want to develop a system that supports this.

Brad Zerbo and Jaytriot are joined by special guest Abbey Zerbo for a nostalgic and hilariously spooky Halloween edition of The Audio Files. From Danny Elfman's Nightmare Before Christmas to the Wednesday Addams dance scene, the crew dives into the music, movies, and mischief that make Halloween unforgettable. They swap childhood trick-or-treat stories, debate candy corn, and laugh through vintage clips, from Jerry Seinfeld's Halloween monologue to Abbott and Costello's monster classics.

George is overwhelmed when he gets a Stiffy, but is furious when he loses it as quickly as he got it. Kev is outraged when Abi files for divorce and goes after his money.

Larry Smith takes us bacik to a different time when Abbott and Costello were the comedy kings of a generation and the way it works for a comedy team. Larry has a record of outstanding podcasts.

TOWN BOARD The five-member Town Board, which includes the supervisor, will have three seats on the ballot on Nov. 4. John Van Tassel is running unopposed for his third term as supervisor on the Democratic and independent Philipstown Focus lines. The other two seats are held by Jason Angell and Megan Cotter, both Democrats, who were elected in 2021 but did not seek second terms. They will be succeeded by Nat Prentice and Ned Rauch, who won a four-way Democratic primary in June. Prentice will appear on the Democratic line, and Rauch on the Democratic and Philipstown Focus lines. The Philipstown Democratic Committee endorsed Rauch and Ben Cheah before the primary and subsequently endorsed Prentice. Cheah would have appeared on the Philipstown Focus line on the November ballot but withdrew. To read responses to questions posed by The Current to Prentice and Rauch before the primary, see highlandscurrent.org/town-board-2025. Because of a new state law that pushes most town and village elections to even-numbered years, Prentice and Rauch will serve three years, rather than four, with their seats on the ballot in 2028. At the same time, the supervisor position, usually a two-year term, will be on the ballot again next year. New York's highest court on Oct. 16 unanimously turned away a challenge to the law, which is designed to put town and village elections on the same ballot as national ones. TOWN JUSTICE The ballot will also include a town justice seat with one candidate, Fred Clarke, whom the Philipstown Democratic Committee nominated. A lawyer in private practice, he has lived in Cold Spring for 25 years and previously worked with the Putnam County Legal Aid Society and in marketing and communications. The seat is open because of the resignation in June of Camille Linson, who was elected to a third, 4-year term last year but moved out of the area. Luke Hilpert was appointed to succeed her until the election and has announced a write-in campaign to keep the position. The other town justice is Angela Thompson-Tinsley, a Democrat elected in 2023. COLD SPRING BOARD Mayor Kathleen Foley is running unopposed for her third, 2-year term. There are also two open trustee seats on the Village Board, which will be filled by John "Tony" Bardes and Anthony Hall, who are running unopposed. They will succeed Eliza Starbuck, who resigned earlier this year, and Aaron Freimark, did not run for a second term. Hall was appointed in July to complete Starbuck's term. COLD SPRING JUSTICE The judge's seat at the Cold Spring Justice Court is up for grabs - the ballot will not list any candidates, meaning the position will be awarded based on write-in votes. Justice Thomas Costello, who has served for 24 years, decided not to seek re-election to a seventh, 4-year term. However, he did so after an April deadline for candidates to file paperwork with the Putnam County Board of Elections to appear on the ballot. There are other ways for candidates to get on the ballot after the April deadline, such as an independent nominating petition or a being nominated following a party caucus, but no candidate took those routes. Under state law, only village residents are eligible to serve, unless the Village Board adopts a local law that expands the residency requirements. The Cold Spring Justice Court has two judges. The second, the associate judge, is appointed by the Village Board. Until June, Linson held the position, but she was replaced by Hilpert, who is campaigning as a write-in candidate for Costello's seat. This week, he received the endorsement of the Cold Spring mayor, Kathleen Foley. PUTNAM LEGISLATURE The Putnam County Legislature has nine members, including Nancy Montgomery, its sole Democrat, who represents Philipstown and part of Putnam Valley. She was elected in 2024 to her third, 3-year term; her seat will be on the ballot again in 2027. Each member is limited by county law to four terms. Three seats will be on this year's ballot for voters elsewhe...

This week, the Pop Culture Historians dive into the world of Abbott and Costello. First, they tackle perhaps the most famous of their films, where the comedy duo MEET FRANKENSTEIN! Is..is this the best Universal monster crossover ever made? Then, A&C move on to meet THE KILLER, BORIS KARLOFF! Is Boris Karloff the killer? You'll just have to listen and find out

Cannabis comic and activist Ngaio Bealum is back on the podcast for our HALLOWEED episode, and he's bringing a pair of horror comedies. First, we've got maybe the ultimate Halloween movie with ABBOTT AND COSTELLO MEET FRANKENSTEIN (1948). This one has all the monsters--Lon Chaney, Jr. as THE WOLF MAN, Bela Lugosi is DRACULA, and Glenn Strange is the FRANKENSTEIN MONSTER. Plus you've got some mad scientist action, and they're all after Lou Costello's brain because he's even dumber than the monster. Thrill to Dracula hurling potted plants at the Wolf Man! There's also a Nor Cal/So Cal schism over Abbott and Costello that was a little unexpected. Find out how that one plays out as Bob and Ngaio tag team the Franklins here. Then, don't call it a comeback as VINCENT PRICE returns to kill a bunch of doctors in inventive and Biblical ways in THE ABOMINABLE DR. PHIBES (1971), a piece of art deco madness from the strange mind of director Robert Fuest (THE DEVIL'S RAIN). Bob's usual smooth intro melted down here as Ngaio accused him of spoiling the movie by basically rehashing the description copy from the back of the Bluray. You'll want to hear the conflict. And FIND OUT HOW YOU can WIN THE DR. PHIBES Bluray(!), and read that spoilery copy for yourself by listening to this episode! And if you email us at oldmoviesforyoungstoners@gmail.com and tell Bob how this episode is a STEALTH VINCENT PRICE DOUBLE FEATURE, you'll jump ahead in line! We will reward the people who actually read all this crap. Shhhh. And the episode kicks off with a usual amount of discussion or SUPERMAN vs. POPEYE + seeing the Tim Burton BATMAN at the Grand Lake in Oakland. Ngaio is old school when it comes to DC Comics canon BTW.

Spooky Season starts in earnest, and we're kicking it off with a movie that scared the hell out of four-year-old Lauren: Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein. Comedy team Abbott and Costello play baggage handlers who run into a bevy of Universal Monsters including Count Dracula (Bela Lugosi), the Wolf Man (Lon Chaney, Jr.), and the Frankenstein Monster (Glenn Strange), in a creepy castle in...Florida? The film would go on to become a template for horror comedies, and the most successful movie in the Frankenstein series since the original. Next week will be The Watcher in the Woods (1980), which is weirdly hard to get a hold of (but well worth the effort!).

Sometimes, cosmic oddities come together in comic ways. For example, Google positions the biography of right-wing Texas governor Greg Abbott right under the one for yesteryear's slapstick comedians, Abbott and Costello.It's almost cruel for Gov. Greg to be juxtaposed with that quick-witted duo, for he's a dour, slow-witted, plutocratic pol, with no perceptible sense of humor. As governor, he has focused on demonizing poor people, rigging elections, and doing favors for moneyed elites. Unsurprisingly, only four out of 10 Texas voters now support him. Yet – don't laugh – in a move of burlesque absurdity, Abbott now says he might choose to become president. Yes, of the US!Filled with pomposity, he recently proclaimed, “I will be guided by God.” Well, maybe so, since the god he faithfully follows is Mammon. Indeed, his major credential for becoming the GOP nominee for prez is that he is a pro at the Pay-to-Play game of using taxpayer money to entice special interests to fund his political career. “You pay me, then I pay you” is his corrupt game plan, which he has used to amass a whopping $87 million for his next election.For example, watchdog group Public Citizen has documented some $3 million that Abbott got from executives of eight corporations. In turn, those eight were given nearly a billion dollars in no-bid state contracts – a 33,000% profit on their donations to Abbott!This is Jim Hightower saying… For high rollers, Abbott is better than a winning Powerball lottery ticket. Buy him, and the Pay-to-Play merry-go-round keeps spinning at taxpayer expense.

Interviewer:  Lisa Meeks, PhD, MA, Guest Editor, Academic Medicine Supplement on Disability Inclusion in UME. Description: This episode of Stories Behind the Science brings you an intimate conversation with Dr. Kirsten Brown (Uniformed Services University of the Health Sciences), Dr. Dionna Bidny (University of Pittsburgh Medical Center), and Dr. Abby Konopasky (Northwell Health), co-authors of Disability in Undergraduate Medical Education in the United States: A Scoping Review, part of the Academic Medicine supplement on Disability Inclusion in Undergraduate Medical Education. Drawing from over 80 publications, their study traces how disability in medical education has too often been framed through deficit and legal models, while leaving intersectionality and the voices of disabled learners largely absent. Together, we explore why this framing matters, what the literature reveals about gaps and progress, and how a critical perspective can re-shape the field. Our guests share the personal and professional motivations behind this ambitious review, the surprises and challenges they encountered, and their hopes for how this work can serve as both roadmap and catalyst. Whether you are a researcher, faculty member, disability resource professional, or student, this episode offers insights into the state of the field and inspiration for charting new directions. Resources and links to the open-access article, Disability Resource Hub, and related tools are in the show notes.

This week's Saturday Matinee on Vintage Classic Radio brings you a trio of classic broadcasts: in the Phil Harris-Alice Faye Show episode "Phil's Vaccination", Phil does everything he can to dodge a shot with predictably funny results; then Abbott and Costello lampoon the hardboiled detective genre in "Sam Shovel in the Caes of the Grocer Who Fell in Wet Cement"; and finally Orson Welles transports us into a world of whimsy and riddles with Columbia Workshop's imaginative adaptation of "Alice Through the Looking Glass".

Costello tells about being followed by a police officer on the way to the studio. As he discovered a use for beer instead of gasoline? Ken Niles wife it appears,…

The starting gun has gone off: The Federal Reserve lowered interest rates 25 basis points. Now CRE can be off to the races.At least that's the narrative.In practice, CRE cares more about long-term debt, and the 10-year Treasury ran counter to expectations and actually rose 10 bps, Jim Costello, MSCI's director of real estate economics, said on this week's show. Besides, the industry's problems go far beyond interest rates, and 25 bps isn't large enough to make much difference.“If you want to be successful in CRE, it's not about that home run of capital market forces lifting the value tremendously,” Costello said. “It's going to be a lot of singles and doubles.”That means a focus on proper leasing, getting the right broker, careful analysis of tenants and focusing on operating expenses.How about all that money waiting on the sidelines — will that finally loosen up with the drop in rates?“Here's the thing about dry powder: When you get a little wind, it can blow it away,” Costello said.“If you don't have a situation where managers can place money effectively and hit their IRRs, that dry powder will dissipate.”

We're going to be away and jolly busy in Manchester this weekend for the Audience with Coronation Street show at the Lowry, so this week's podcast is coming at you early, covering the episodes that were shown on the 14th and the 16th September (Episodes #11,669 - 11,672). After the shocking revelation that Becky Swain was in fact alive last week, this week's Corrie had a lot to live up to. Would enough questions about the past four years be suitably answered? What would Lisa say to Costello? Would Lisa really be able to see her estranged wife from reconnecting with her daughter! It turned out that the pair of us had quite opposing views about how well Corrie's handled this, and the discussion takes up the lion's share of Street Talk. Elsewhere on the cobbles, Tyrone's told it may be years until he's up on his feet again (so.. skipping around in the snow this Christmas?) Theo and Todd move into their new place, and the twists keep on coming as it's revealed just who was driving the car at breakneck speed through the precinct last Monday... Up next on the podcast, we're joined by Corrie fan Carianne, who attended the Fan Fusion convention last weekend at which Vicky Myers appeared as a special guest. We get the low down of what happened at the event, what Vicky was like, and chat together about the prospect of other Corrie related conventions in the future.

We are all aware that mental/emotional well-being is essential to maintain on a surface level. But on a deeper level, research shows us over & over that emotional skills are thee foundation to human happiness & success. There is no such thing as a solely logical person. Emotions are what make us human, and we must learn how to interact with them, not because we're whiny or soft, but because emotions drive humanity. Emotions are at the root of everything humans do, and whether or not we will survive.(Please excuse my runny nose in this one

Squeeze's Chris Difford and Glenn Tilbrook are one of rock's greatest songwriting tandems, with Tilbrook crafting indelible melodies around Difford's emotionally detailed lyrics. Here Difford digs into the evolution of his and Tilbrook's partnership. When Difford hands over his lyrics, does he suggest a musical direction to Tilbrook? Did Difford know that “Pulling Mussels (from the Shell)” would be a rocker, “Labelled with Love” a country song, “Slaughtered, Gutted and Heartbroken” an old-timey shuffle? Was he surprised that "Hourglass" became their biggest hit? When they write together now, is there tension over tackling more political topics versus pursuing Difford's brand of personal storytelling? Difford also discusses singing in octaves and taking the occasional lead, the impact of producers such as John Wood and Elvis Costello (and the song he co-wrote with Costello), why so many keyboardists joined and left Squeeze and the reasons the band broke up and regrouped the first time.

There's plenty of action down at the old “Cow Palace” serving as the world headquarters of Costello Manufacturing and Chris Costello has stopped by to fill us in on all the excitement at the world center of model railroading just north of Bradford, Pennsylvania, and just east of Salamanca, New York. We spend some time talking about the machine that nobody talks about. Learned how 3-D printing is becoming an important division of the vast Costello empire. Plus we discuss the newest release from JL innovative “the Dunmore Caboose” a steel caboose made for the Erie Railroad. So grab yourself a big bowl of steaming hot cow patties, a tall cool glass of 3-D resin and enjoy!!

Today's slow drag is with “(The Angels Wanna Wear My) Red Shoes” from “My Aim is True,” released in 1977. The songwriting is credited to Elvis Costello's birth name. . . .

But since their wings have got rusted, you know, the angels wanna wear my red shoes. But when they told me 'bout their side of the bargain, that's when I knew that I could not refuse And I won't get any older, now the angels wanna wear my red shoes   I was watching while you're dancing away Our love got fractured in the echo and sway How come everybody wants to be your friend? You know that it still hurts me just to say it   Oh, I know that she's disgusted (oh why's that) Cause she's feeling so abused. (oh that's too bad) She gets tired of the lust, (oh I'm so sad) but it's so hard to refuse How can you say that I'm too old, when the angels have stolen my red shoes.   Oh, I said "I'm so happy, I could die" She said "Drop dead," then left with another guy That's what you get if you go chasing after vengeance. Ever since you got me punctured this has been my sentence. Oh, I used to be disgusted and now I try to be amused. But since their wings have got rusted, you know, the angels wanna wear my red shoes. Red shoes, the angels wanna wear my red shoes.

Great Big Band Vocalists Most times when the Longines Symphonette Society put out albums, we had no idea who the musicians were. But sometimes they did give us all the information.

The songs, pure pop gold from the 1930s through 50s. So, get ready to hear a few memorable singers performing memorable songs in Volume 244: Big Band Vocals.

"Hangover Terrace" The Ontario-born Ron Sexsmith is one of the great musical treasures on this weird and troubled planet. And we need him now more than ever. Over the course of his decorated career, the three-time Juno award-winning singer/songwriter has put out close to twenty winning albums and here's a quick note about that--his discography is perfect with not even a trace of a dip of quality. In fact, every album seems to top the last one, which is saying a lot because every album is absolutely brilliant. If this sounds like hyperbole, it's not. From his self-titled album to Cobblestone Runway to Retriever to Blue Boy to Carousel One to his brand new record Hangover Terrace, which is one of the greatest album titles ever, by the way, Ron Sexsmith always delivers the goods. It's hard to think of a musician who sings with such elegant precision and poetic finesse. Like Sinatra or Costello, his phrasing is unique and distinct--all it takes is a syllable of a song and you know instantly know it's him. He's toured with John Hiatt, Squeeze, Coldplay and Nick Lowe and his songs have been covered by folks like Rod Stewart, Nick Lowe, Emmy Lou Harris, Feist, Michael Buble, and Stevie Nicks. His 2017 novel Deer Life, A Fairy Tale is just wonderful and this year he made his theatrical composer debut with the internationally renowned Stratford Festival production of ‘As You Like It' in Stratford, Ontario, Canada. But back to Hangover Terrace. A moving and deeply stirring 14-track song cycle, Hangover Terrace is filled with dark whimsy, wistful ballads and mid-tempo magic. Sexsmith's fluid and free flowing voice is untouched by time, his delivery as free flowing and and as a result this is an album of emotional exactitude and pure indie soul. And this conversation is a real joy. www.ronsexmith.com (http://www.ronsexmith.com) www.bombshellradio.com www.stereoembersmagazine.com www.alexgreenbooks.com (http://www.alexgreenbooks.com) https://podcast.feedspot.com/california_music_podcasts/ https://podcast.feedspot.com/california_art_podcasts/ IG + BLUESKY: @emberspodcast Email: editor@stereoembersmagazine.com

On our latest podcast, we chat about the episodes of Coronation Street shown between the 18th - 22nd August (Episodes #11,647 - 11,652). There was definitely something in the Weatherfield water this week as everyone seemed to be more than a little bit randy! From Steve and Cassie (and an unwilling third party teddy bear) cavorting in the living room of Number 9 to Sarah-Louise using her best seduction techniques on Underworld's latest client, the cobbles were practically steaming - and as for Abi and Carl's saucy antics.. well we can definitely say we were pleased to see Tracy pouring a bucket of cold water over that on Friday! Also this week, we had Aadi deciding that a trip to India maybe isn't  such a bad idea after all, romance between Dee-Dee and Olly, and an some intriguing comments from Costello that had us theorising all sorts about the circumstances surrounding Becky's death... After the Street Talk segment of the podcast, we were off to The Kabin, where we take a look at which cast members have been nominated for an NTA this year, and we finish things off with some lovely listener feedback.

This podcast covers episodes 11,647 to 11,652. When Kit accosts a badly parked motorist, he sets a remarkable chain of events into action. Steve buys apology lager for Tyrone but then gets in his bad books again by giving him a show no one wants to see. Carl has to think quick when he finds Tracy in his hotel room, ready for action. Dee Dee is conflicted about a romantic opportunity with one of her clients. Tim and Sally are shocked to learn that Brody had plans to abscond with his sisters. Aadi decides that moving to India might be for the best, while Asha hides an upsetting incident at work. Olly's a midnight creeper. Tracy's a lurker. Costello is baffling.

Abbott & Costello agree to perform in a boy's backyard for 70 cents, parents sue a milk dairy because their son grew too tall, a man sleeps only 2 hours per day for 33 years, and much more!

Today's guest tells her story of birth trauma, postpartum preeclampsia, and how therapy helped her to process her emotions. I'm thrilled to have Courtney here to share her story and how she is helping other moms. Join us! Courtney Costello is a licensed master's social worker with nearly 15 years of experience in the field. She worked predominantly with families and children before having her son in 2023, when she became personally and professionally passionate about maternal well-being and mental health. After going to therapy for her own postpartum challenges (birth trauma and PTSD), she was inspired to be more of a support for others in the perinatal period. Combining her education and lived experience, Courtney now works as a perinatal mental health counselor in Buffalo, NY. In addition, she runs an online maternal mental health training for other clinicians who are interested in learning more about supporting mothers. This year, Courtney is acting as a co-leader for Buffalo's local Climb through Postpartum Support International.  Show Highlights: Courtney's “normal” pregnancy and the labor/delivery that did NOT go according to plan Labor/delivery expectations vs. reality Feeling fear with a sense of not knowing what was happening Finally, a healthy baby—and a blizzard rolls in to complicate everything and add stress Uncertainty and conflicting restrictions about leaving the hospital with their newborn son Driving home, getting stuck in a white-out, and finally making it to her brother's house A story of fear and multiple kindnesses from others A few days postpartum: feeling “off” and seeing floaters in her vision A diagnosis of postpartum preeclampsia and a hospital stay, but not much of an explanation from the nurses Getting home and facing fear and anxiety about being separated from her family Finding help with therapy with a therapist who was the perfect fit Questioning her return to her job and finding where she fits best in working with the perinatal population Finding healing and deciding to have a second child, which previously felt impossible Resources: Connect with Courtney Costello: Website, Instagram, and Psychology Today  Call the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA or visit cdph.ca.gov Please find resources in English and Spanish at Postpartum Support International, or by phone/text at 1-800-944-4773.

When two Daves walk into a podcast, you don't expect to stumble upon a meditation on art, failure, persistence, and horror-comedy. But that's exactly what happened in this electric and delightfully unfiltered conversation with Dave Campfield, a filmmaker, actor, and host of the Troma Now Podcast, best known for his work in the cult Caesar and Otto comedy-horror film series.Dave Campfield is a fiercely independent filmmaker whose journey from a now-defunct film college in New Mexico to directing his own cult horror satires has been a long and winding road paved with hustle, humor, and horror.We start in the sand-colored surrealism of Santa Fe, where adobe buildings and the ghost of City Slickers set the stage for Dave's early filmmaking dreams. In the land of tumbleweeds and tumble-down gym studios turned sound stages, Dave cut his teeth not just on film but on the art of adaptation.The college no longer exists, but the memories—like chalk lines under studio lights—remain vivid in his story. “It was like going to school on Tatooine,” he says, laughing, but behind that joke is a bittersweet nod to the ephemeral.From there, Dave walks us through the illusion of success—early meetings with Universal and New Line Cinema where hopes were dangled like carrots in front of eager young dreamers. The industry, he quickly learned, speaks its own coded language: familiarity, marketability, and sometimes, plain deception. One mentor told him to “say you're young, from the streets, and have a dark comedy,” regardless of truth. Dave gave it a shot but came away with the haunting realization that "they were intrigued enough to keep me on leash, but not enough to make it happen."That experience seeded his first real film, “Dark Chamber,” a mystery-horror project which deliberately bucked slasher formulas. It took five years to make—five years of blood, sweat, and overdrafts. And yet, when the studios responded with, “We wanted something more familiar,” Dave knew he was swimming upstream. Still, he sold the film to a small distributor, endured its repackaging as something it wasn't, and got it onto Netflix. A win—just not the one he envisioned.But here's the heart of it all: Dave didn't stop. He pivoted, not with bitterness, but with evolution. “I decided I wasn't going to be one of those people waiting for opportunity. You had to make it happen on your own.” And so, he leaned into comedy horror—a genre he describes as “Abbott and Costello meet Frankenstein, but for the splatter generation.” Thus, Caesar and Otto were born: two absurdly lovable doofuses bumbling their way through massacres, monsters, and paranormal mayhem.One of Dave's secret weapons is loyalty to what's real. Whether recounting how Lloyd Kaufman forgot him (then remembered) or editing commercials for the Philadelphia Pet Expo, he keeps a kind of grounded magic about his craft. He shares a deeply personal new project, “Awaken the Reaper,” born from a decade of introspection and struggle, calling it “the most personal thing I've ever written.” He says, “It's about being stuck—feeling like every day you're not moving forward—and finally getting out of your own way.”All along, Dave's been quietly building a reputation for casting future stars before they break—Trey Byers (Empire), Peter Scanavino (Law & Order)—and hosting a podcast that thrives not just because of brand synergy with Troma, but because he genuinely knows how to talk to people. “They've never rejected an episode,” he remarks. “I tease Troma a lot, and they're always game. It's a beautiful collaboration.”The conversation wraps not with grandiosity, but a recognition that even the smallest cult followings can keep a creator going. “My fanbase is small, but intense,” Dave says with pride. “I can rattle them off on two hands.” Maybe that's enough. Maybe that's everything.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/bulletproof-screenwriting-podcast--2881148/support.
