He's on every magazine cover, his Wikipedia page calls him a culture-shifting icon, and his puke once sold on eBay. But who is Harry Styles, actually? This week we're diving deep into the man behind the flare pants - getting into why the media keeps calling him a trailblazer when he might actually be something more interesting than that, his carefully worded non-answers about politics and sexuality, and why his therapist is literally asking him why he needs everyone to like him so much. Part one of two - Wednesday's episode gets into the blind items.
Tahra Zafar is a costume and creature effects designer. She designed the Paddington Bear puppet featured in the hit West End production Paddington: The Musical.Born into a theatre family, she grew up with an Armenian American father who worked as a choreographer in the first West End production of West Side Story, and a mother who moved from a career as a ballerina to theatre work around the world. Her interest in making began early, helping her father with practical projects such as restoring their house, even learning to build walls and spending her spare time model making, with Airfix creations suspended from her bedroom ceiling.After studying theatre design at Central Saint Martins, she began her career making theatre costumes. She spent some time at the Jim Henson creature workshop where she made some of the creatures for the first Harry Potter film including Hedwig the owl and Scabbers the rat.After her daughter was born, Tahra worked on some of the characters for In the Night Garden with her daughter, a willing judge of what worked for toddlers. In 2012, Tahra was in charge of 23,000 costumes for the London 2012 Olympic opening and closing ceremonies. This role included an audience with the late Queen to ensure the wig and dress were correct for Her Majesty's stunt double when that iconic skydive was performed at the Olympic opening ceremony. Tahra lives in London with her daughter.DISC ONE: Thunderbirds (Main Theme) - The Barry Gray Orchestra DISC TWO: Gee, Officer Krupke.

What's the difference between religious performance and genuine faith? In this week's message from Grand Point Church, we walk through Romans 2:17–29 — one of the most uncomfortable and convicting passages in all of Paul's letters. The Apostle Paul confronts the religious insiders of his day with a bold accusation: their outward religiosity was actually making things worse. Paul identifies four destructive patterns of religiosity — smugness, over-sensitivity, judgmentalism, and hypocrisy — and then uses the imagery of circumcision to make a radical point: God is after the heart, not the badge.Whether you've been a church-going believer for decades or you're brand new to faith, this message will challenge you to examine not just what you do as a Christian, but who you are when no one's watching.Show Notes:Key Scripture:Romans 2:17–24 — Paul's indictment of religious hypocrisyRomans 2:25–29 — Circumcision of the heart vs. outward signsColossians 2:11–12 — What happens spiritually when you come to ChristKey Themes:The danger of religiosity vs. genuine faithFour fruits of religiosity: smugness, over-sensitivity, judgmentalism, hypocrisyThe meaning of "circumcision of the heart" (Romans 2:29; Colossians 2:11)Seven markers of genuine, transformed faithThe prodigal son — and why both sons needed the Father's graceResource Referenced:Romans for You by Tim KellerHow Leaders Lose Their Way by Peter GreerNext Steps:Examine your faith honestly — Work through the seven markers of genuine faith mentioned in this message.

In a first for The Art of Costume, this episode of The Costume House with Spencer Williams steps beyond costume design and into a larger conversation about filmmaking itself.Spencer is joined by directors and writers Alexandre Singh and Natalie Musteata, the visionary duo behind the 2026 Academy Award–nominated short film Two People Exchanging Saliva. Set in a surreal society where kissing is punishable by death and goods are purchased with slaps to the face, the film follows Angine, a woman navigating desire, repression, and absurd social rituals within the fluorescent aisles of a department store. Together, they explore the film's layered metaphors of intimacy, desire, identity, and repression, unpacking the surreal systems that govern this meticulously constructed world. From production design and visual references to the crucial role costume plays in shaping character and psychology, the conversation reveals how every aesthetic choice sharpens the film's biting social commentary. Sharp, strange, and deeply intentional, this conversation opens The Costume House to a broader creative lens—one where every detail matters.

Costume design defines character before a word is spoken — through silhouette, texture, and the quiet language of fabric. For Episode 10 of Below the Line's 2026 Oscar series, Skid is joined by Liz Vastola, Austin Wittick, and Allison Choi Braun to examine the nominees for the Academy Award for Best Costume Design at the 98th Academy Awards. Drawing on their experience across period drama, contemporary storytelling, and large-scale production, the panel evaluates this year's field with a focus on research, construction, collaboration, and narrative clarity. As with the rest of this year's Oscar series, the conversation is available both as an audio podcast and as a full video episode on YouTube. Our discussion explores: The physical craftsmanship behind Avatar: Fire and Ash, and how tangible garments support performance even in a digitally expansive world In Frankenstein, how heightened color and silhouette push beyond strict period realism to create something emotionally immediate How Hamnet uses restraint — muted palettes and softened textures — to support its interior storytelling The meticulous 1950s tailoring in Marty Supreme, and what period specificity reveals about character and class Blending Americana, music culture, and horror in Sinners, where aging, multiples, and continuity become storytelling tools The collaborative relationship between costume designers and directors, and how early visual conversations shape the entire production Throughout the episode, the panel reflects on how costume design operates at every scale — from the smallest accessory to the broadest color arc — and how these choices work in concert with lighting, production design, performance, and theme.
You can travel to every sacred site in the world, follow every ritual, and still feel disconnected from yourself. In this episode, I explore the difference between performative spirituality and embodied spirituality — the kind that softens you, deepens your integrity, and changes how you treat people when no one is watching. This is a conversation about inner work, shadow work, nervous system regulation, physical discipline, and the micro-decisions that quietly construct the "temple within." Because enlightenment can't be outsourced, it has to be lived. KEY TAKEAWAYS Spirituality is revealed in behaviour, not aesthetics. It's not what you wear, eat, post, or preach — it's how you respond when triggered, how you treat people privately, and whether your faith makes you kinder or harsher. Inner work requires discomfort, not performance. Real growth comes from sitting with grief, anger, fear, inherited beliefs, and old patterns — not bypassing them with spiritual language or identity. The temple is built in micro-moments. Choosing honesty over ease. Presence over distraction. Kindness over ego. Your daily decisions are the bricks. You are both the architect and the structure. HOST BIO I am Summer. A spiritual being having human experiences. From age 11 I have been obsessed with all things self-development; looking at it from every angle, in pursuit of finding answers for my life. Like all other humans I am figuring it out. Along the way I have discovered knowledge and concepts that have changed my existence and helped navigate my youth, The process of learning and undoing, growing, and evolving has led me right here. The host of 'Inner Wealth', where I bring together the most profound teachings I've learnt during my time here on earth; in hopes of making it a little easier for others to get to the same wisdom.

Voice Of Costume - Creating Character through Costume Design
Listen in for a masterclass on how to tell a story with 140 looks, on a $1M indie, across decades, with 10 days of prep time! In this deeply moving and craft-rich conversation, host Catherine Baumgardner speaks with costume designer Maggie Whitaker about her extraordinary journey designing the film Fairyland. Whitaker traces her roots from a theater-first upbringing shaped by old movies, regional summer stock, and a love of history—training that quietly prepared her for the chaos and poetry of independent filmmaking. The episode unpacks how Whitaker transitioned from decades of theater to film, learning to navigate asynchronous storytelling, brutal schedules, and microscopic budgets—while still protecting character, emotion, and truth. She offers a masterclass in designing the 1970s–80s queer San Francisco world of Fairyland, drawing from deep cultural research, personal archives, and lived community history rather than surface-level nostalgia. Whitaker reveals how costume becomes a tool for identity: characters "trying on" versions of themselves through clothing, code-switching between safety and self-expression, comfort and risk. From thrifted Victorian pieces worn by broke artists, to plaid shirts that anchor emotional continuity, the clothes chart parallel arcs of father and daughter—love, rebellion, grief, and return. Beyond design, the conversation explores mentorship, advocacy, collaboration, and leadership—how to fight diplomatically for your department, care for your team, and make meaningful art under near-impossible constraints. The "Voice of Costume" is the first podcast created between working costume designers sharing stories, inspiration, struggles, and insights into the creative career of costume design. A behind-the-scenes podcast to showcase the voices of Costume Designers around the world. Listen in on this inspirational, one-on-one conversation with Catherine Baumgardner.

Creative leadership isn't control—it's vulnerability, collaboration, and choosing the right moments to stand firm. In this vibrant and deeply reflective conversation, host Catherine Baumgardner sits down with costume designer Colin Wilkes, whose work brings emotional texture and visual storytelling to the Netflix adaptation of People We Meet on Vacation. Wilkes traces a creative journey rooted in rural freedom, theater, opera, and early storytelling—spaces where imagination and observation shaped a lifelong study of people, culture, and place. The discussion dives into how costume design becomes a form of sociology: studying geography, music, art, class, and cultural behavior to make each vacation, city, and moment feel emotionally distinct. Wilkes explains how color palettes, fabric, silhouettes, and background wardrobes subtly signal time, place, and character psychology—often working below the audience's conscious awareness. From Barcelona to New Orleans, airports to weddings, every costume choice anchors the viewer in a believable world. Wilkes also reveals the challenges behind the romance: tight schedules, weather disasters, international shipping, and constant pivots—while still protecting the emotional arc of the characters. The episode explores ego, collaboration, vulnerability, and leadership, emphasizing when to fight for a creative choice and when to let go. Ultimately, the conversation becomes a meditation on purpose-driven storytelling, trust in collaboration, and how clothing can quietly chart growth, intimacy, and connection over time.

Voice Of Costume - Creating Character through Costume Design
Power isn't shouted in this world—it's tailored. Discover how suits, fabric, and subtle choices quietly drive tension in a political thriller. In this thoughtful and inspiring conversation, host Catherine Baumgardner sits down with acclaimed costume designer Jenny Gering, whose work spans The Americans and season three of The Diplomat. Gering reflects on her childhood split between tomboy freedom and classic Hollywood obsession, crediting old movies, vintage fashion, and storytelling as the roots of her creative instincts. The discussion traces her unconventional path into costume design—one built on curiosity, saying yes, and discovering that seemingly unrelated skills can suddenly click into purpose. Gering offers a candid look at the demands of episodic television, describing The Americans as a trial-by-fire education in speed, research, and stamina, while emphasizing the importance of mentorship, collaboration, and problem-solving under pressure. As the conversation shifts to The Diplomat, Gering unpacks the subtle art of designing for political thrillers: restrained palettes, repeated garments, and the careful use of tone and texture to differentiate characters without breaking realism. She explains how costumes must ground the audience in reality, making tension feel immediate and believable. Throughout, themes of humility, adaptability, ego-free collaboration, and lifelong curiosity emerge—offering invaluable insight for creatives navigating high-pressure storytelling environments.

Voice Of Costume - Creating Character through Costume Design
From childhood fantasy to building entire worlds in fabric, this episode reveals how costume design becomes character, story, and emotion on screen. In this rich, intimate conversation, host Catherine Baumgardner sits down with acclaimed costume designer Marion Boyce to explore how imagination, research, and relentless craftsmanship shape unforgettable characters. Boyce reflects on her childhood spent in fantasy worlds, tracing a direct line from early play and family textile heritage to a career designing for some of the most visually ambitious period dramas in film and television. The discussion dives deep into her work on The Artful Dodger, unpacking how color palettes, fabric choices, and historical underpinnings communicate power, class, rebellion, and constraint—often before a character speaks a single word. Boyce reveals why books and primary visual references still matter more than fast online searches, and how accuracy in silhouette, corsetry, and underpinnings is essential to keeping an audience emotionally grounded. From designing crinolines that physically shape a character's movement, to using color as metaphor for grief, danger, and desire, Boyce explains costume as active storytelling—not decoration. She also opens up about the intense realities of production schedules, the pressure of massive builds, collaboration with directors and actors, and the personal cost of creative obsession. The episode becomes a masterclass in costume design, world-building, and the unseen labor that makes cinematic storytelling feel truthful and alive. https://www.marionboycecostume.com/ The "Voice of Costume" is the first podcast created between working costume designers sharing stories, inspiration, struggles, and insights into the creative career of costume design.

This week on The People Centric Podcast, we talk about the boss costume. The version of leadership that shows up when someone feels like they need to posture, perform, or play a role instead of being themselves. We explore what happens when leaders put on the boss costume and how it affects trust, communication, and connection on a team. While it may feel protective in the moment, posturing often creates distance and makes it harder for people to speak up or do their best work. We also talk about how to lead without the costume. What authenticity actually looks like at work, how to balance authority with humanity, and how leaders can show up in ways that feel real and grounded. From the employee perspective, we discuss what it feels like to work for someone who is posturing. From the manager perspective, we explore why people slip into the boss costume in the first place. And from the executive perspective, we talk about how authentic leadership shapes culture over time. Have questions about this topic? Want to ask for advice from our team? Have a topic suggestion?

Histoire de 10 minutes racontée par Binyamin BENHAMOU.
A few months ago, Puerto Rican rapper Bad Bunny guest hosted an episode of “Saturday Night Live” where he appeared in a skit as a Spanish nobleman from the Middle Ages wearing an inky blue robe with gold threading on the collar and sleeves. The costume he wore didn’t come from the show’s wardrobe department. Instead, it was shipped overnight by the Oregon Shakespeare Festival Costume Rentals department in Talent. As profiled in a recent article in Oregon ArtsWatch, for more than 20 years, OSF Costume Rentals has been making costumes and accessories that were created for its productions available to rent by local theater companies, academic institutions, film and photo shoots and TV shows like “SNL.” The vast digital inventory is searchable online and spans more than 30,000 costumes and accessories, from elaborate Elizabethan gowns and silky Regency dresses to velour smoking jackets and butterfly-collared shirts. OSF Costume Rentals supervisor Celina Gigliello-Pretto and OSF Director of Productions Malia Argüello share how OSF is preserving its costumes and helping other productions reimagine their possibilities.

What if the secret to overcoming imposter syndrome isn't getting rid of your fear, but learning to invert your perspective and use it as fuel?In this episode of Glass Ceilings and Sticky Floors, Erica Rooney sits down with Michelle "Mace" Curran, a former F-16 fighter pilot and lead solo pilot for the US Air Force Thunderbirds. As only one of two women in history to hold that title, Michelle has flown inverted inches from her wingman at 500 mph—all while battling the same inner critic that many high-achieving women face in the boardroom.Michelle shares how she moved from a shy, introverted high-achiever to a decorated combat veteran, revealing the mental discipline required to override survival instincts and the power of "call sign culture" in building psychological safety.Inside the Episode:Training Over Instinct: Michelle explains how the "insane" maneuvers of an air show are actually the result of thousands of hours of repetition, and how that same building of competence is the foundation for confidence in any male-dominated career.The Survival Brain in the Boardroom: How to distinguish between real physical danger and the primal fear of social judgment. Michelle shares her "zoom out" method to get worst-case scenarios out of your head and onto paper.The "Costume" of Confidence: Michelle opens up about her early career struggles in Japan, where she felt like she had to wear a "Type A costume" to belong, and the shock to her identity when she realized she couldn't be a "golden child" on day one.The Inner Voice vs. The Verdict: A breakdown of how to identify your inner critic—Michelle's looked like a "tactical older male pilot"—and why recognizing the source of that voice takes away its power.MACE: The Call Sign Story: The vulnerable story behind Michelle's call sign (Mock At Circle Entry) and how a near-catastrophic mistake involving 9 G-forces became her ultimate badge of honor.Call Sign Culture & Safety: Why having a nickname based on a mistake is actually a tool for psychological safety, encouraging a "debrief culture" where even the highest-ranking leaders openly admit their errors.Inverting Your Perspective: A look at Michelle's book, The Flip Side, and how to use the "action creates confidence" loop to navigate moments where "the shit hits the fan."If you're waiting to "feel ready" before chasing your biggest dreams, this episode is the reality check you need to start taking action in the presence of doubt.
