Today, I'm thrilled to announce my episode with Scott Wittman, who is the lyricist of Broadway's newest sensation SMASH. Tune in to hear some of the stories of his amazing career, including why CATCH ME IF YOU CAN appealed to him as a follow-up to HAIRSPRAY, putting together MATTERS OF THE HEART with Patti LuPone, why CHARLIE AND THE CHOCOLATE FACTORY was at its best in workshops, his experiences with Dame Edna and Elaine Stritch, watching Disney animators at work during MARY POPPINS RETURNS, being influenced by John Waters, how Matthew Lopez convinced him to adapt SOME LIKE IT HOT, the upcoming project he's working on with Bridget Everett, why John Slattery and Talia Balsam were perfect for THE SUBJECT WAS ROSES, and so much more. You won't want to miss this chat with one of Broadway's best writers.

In episode 106 of the BaT Podcast, Alex and Randy are joined by previous guest (but One-Year Garage first-timer) Beck Deifenbach, BaT White Glove Manager, to focus on the year 2006. They discuss "Peak Analog" or even "the '60s of our generation," if you ask those from a certain generation, as well as the death of iDrive, hot times at Buttonwillow, the best value ratio at the movies,  the sadness of grayscale German cars,  and salamanders. The rules are argued and perhaps stretched, a remarkeable level of cohesion is reached on several picks, and a truly baffling choice is surfaced. A brief foray into ALMS yields many a theory about BMW V8s, and week-late predictions are floated about what will/would show up at our event in Scottsdale, Arizona this/last weekend (note: no Smart Roadsters were there, but the 308 GT2 most certainly was!).

Thaao Penghlis Live on Game Changers With Vicki Abelson Looking as fit, youthful, and handsome as ever, thrice Emmy nominated, Thaao Penghlis, was a model of class, sophistication, charisma, and information. As has always been the case, the conversation flowed and the time flew. We talked about Thaao's travels to Egypt and Greece, how to best visit his family's homeland, The Lost Treasures, his podcast, his passion for cooking, his first appearance on a cooking show, and what he cooked, the recent drop of the paperback of his Seducing Celebrities One Meal At A Time, why he's no longer on Days of Our Lives, and the illness that he faced without fear, with grit determination to best, which indeed he did. Diagnosed with colon cancer early in the pandemic, Thaao, who's spent his life with extreme discipline––a Mediterranean diet, little to no junk food, regular exercise, daily meditation, yet he was predisposed to the disease which took his mother. With the same no-nonsense directness, Thaao faces everything in life, he took on his illness and beat it into remission, with the support of loving friends, which he credits with helping him get through the six months of hellacious chemo and radiation, where trim to begin with Thaao dropped 50 pounds. You'd never know any of that to look at him today. When last we met almost two years ago he was not quite on the other side of it but not yet ready to talk about it. Leave it to Thaao to use his challenge to be of service to others discussing it openly, including a suggestion that might ease the path for others now facing treatment. As is Thaao's style, even this conversation was done with great good humor… culminating with a fabulous story about Robert Redford which got cut short when Thaoo's battery died. Suffice it to say it has a happy ending with “Bob” as he calls him, being gracious and familiar. Yes, Thaao's first cinematic starring role was in John Avildson's, Slow Dancing in the Big City, followed by Ken Russell's, Altered States, with William Hurt, and as Dame Edna's love interest in Les Patterson Saves the World. He also played the lead, Nicholas Black, in the television series, Mission: Impossible, and starred in several mini-series, including, Tribe, Memories of Midnight, and Under Siege. We talked about none of that. We stayed focused on his current events, the projects Thaao's working on now with a new writing partner, and his aspiration to produce as well. The weight's back on, he's working out thrice weekly, and throwing his fabulous dinner parties. oh please invite me! Spending time with Thaao is like a feast for the soul - where every course is new, exciting, and delicious, and at the same time, comforting, and familiar.

I had a blast chatting with the great Australian-born actor and world-class raconteur, Thaao Penghlis, about his career and creative process.  If you're a fan of NBC's long-running soap opera, Days of Our Lives, then you're also likely to be a fan of Thaao's. He's had a remarkable four-decade, 1500+ episode run on the show playing both the seductively villainous Count Tony DiMera and the Count's evil look-a-like impersonator Andre DiMera. Thaao has earned 3 Emmy nominations for Outstanding Leading Actor and a Soap Opera Digest Award for Favorite Return.Thaao's infamous dual roles are on top of playing a wide-range of characters on various TV series, movies, and plays, including two other daytime series, General Hospital and Santa Barbara, as well as appearances on the 1980's prime time reboot of Mission Impossible, in which Thaao played master-of-disguise Nicholas Black. Other notable appearances include the films Slow Dancing in the Big City, Ken Russell's Altered States, The Bell Jar, Sadat, Sidney Sheldon's Memories of Midnight, Under Siege, Tribe, and as Dame Edna's lover, Colonel Godowni in the cult classic Les Patterson Saves the World. A world traveler and celebrated host of Hollywood dinner parties, Thaao has authored his memoir Places: The Journey of My Days, My Lives, and also the cookbook Seducing Celebrities One Meal at a Time.Thaao, whose family were Greek immigrants to Australia, has poured his passions for all things Greece into a new podcast, The Lost Treasures, a fantastic detective story-style exploration of Greece's greatest contribution to the world's literature, the poet Homer.  The Lost Treasures explores the Iliad and the Odyssey through the amazing life of German archaeologist Heinrich Schliemann, who changed history when he discovered the real-life locations and treasures in the epic poems.Written and narrated by Thaao, the podcast draws on his exclusive access to 60,000 pages of long-hidden documents and diaries.  

Thank God It's Friday returns next week with our usual live audience! But to get in the mood, we've got interviews with three legends of comedy: Stephen Fry, Sandi Toksvig, and the late Barry Humphries.Plus, live music from Felicity Urquhart and Josh Cunningham.

Episode 8 in our history of the great essays is about Susan Sontag's ‘Against Interpretation' (1963). What was interpretation and why was Sontag so against it? David explores how an argument about art, criticism and the avant-garde can be applied to contemporary politics and can even explain the monstrous appeal of Donald Trump.Sontag in the LRB:Terry Castle on Sontag and friendship ‘At its best, our relationship was rather like the one between Dame Edna and her feeble sidekick Madge – or possibly Stalin and Malenkov.'James Wolcott on Sontag and polemics‘The upside of Sontag's downside was that her ire was generated by the same power supply that electrified her battle for principles that others only espoused.'Mark Grief on Sontag and identity‘One of the most appealing things about Susan Sontag was that she didn't ask to be liked. Sontag's persona was not personal. It was superior.'Joanna Biggs on Sontag and Paris‘Paris let her say no to an academic life, but not to a life of ideas. The best thinking was done in cafes, or in bed, or at the movies, not in libraries.' Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

SEASON 2 EPISODE 96: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT:  There are still some around him who want him to stay above the fray on Trump and to stay above the fray on Trump morphing into Baby Hitler and especially to stay above the NEW fray on Trump and the 14th Amendment and your newest Hallmark Movie: A Trumpy Christmas At The Supreme Court. But frankly, President Biden is at his best, his BEST, when HE is the spokesman for a nation dedicated to using all legal means to save this nation from Trump. He is not merely the President; he has a natural, perfect touch - blending matter-of-factness and the collective anger of 200 million Americans. Yesterday, tarmac at Milwaukee, Air Force One roaring in the background: Reporter: "Is Trump an insurrectionist?" Biden: "Certain things are self-evident. You saw it all. Now, whether the 14th Amendment applies, I'll let the court make that decision. But he certainly supported an insurrection. No question about it. None. Zero. And he seems to be doubling down on - about everything." No one can REMIND you of the obviousness of an answer more efficiently yet without any sense of condescension or correction than Joe Biden. No one. Now - do it every day. ALSO: This is a good moment to review the scholarly study of the 14th Amendment that really touched all this off. It was co-authored by the former clerk to Chief Justice John Roberts, and a conservative constitutional law professor so revered that his resume is 35 pages long. It's also a good moment to take a second look at Dementia J. Trump's bizarre flex about echoing Hitler. "I've never read 'Mein Kampf'" was followed by something even stranger - acknowledging that sure he and Hitler are saying the same things, just in different ways.  It's another instant Biden ad, at the echelon of LBJ's "Daisy" Commercial from 1964. So I made one. B-BLOCK (30:15) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Kellyanne Conway is back with something stupid. Next question: does she really exist or is she a dedicated comedian devoted to a bit, like the guy who portrayed Dame Edna? Charlie Kirk turns a rule about keeping highway rest stops open on Sunday into a battle of The Democrats Versus The Jesus. And Kari Lake is about to get Rudied. Sued by a Republican Arizona election official she slandered, she moved to dismiss and assumed it would be. It isn't. She's going to trial for defamation. C-BLOCK (36:15) THINGS I PROMISED NOT TO TELL: The leadership of ESPN's famed P.R. department just switched from my friend Chris LaPlaca to my friend Josh Krulewitz. And that made me think of the time nearly 27 years ago when I left ESPN forever (well, only to return in 2005. And again in 2013. And again again in 2018).See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

What does it mean to be truly funny? We often associate the word ‘funny' with comedy and making people laugh. But it can also mean being witty, incisive ironic, playful, teasing, or delivering little moments of truth. On this episode, I'm speaking to comedy writer Paul Dornan, whose new company, True Funny, helps people discover what makes them funny — in the loosest sense of the word — and how they can maximise that in the way they present themselves. Not to make them artificially funny in an [inster funny joke here] type way, but naturally and authentically.In our discussion, we explored how Paul came to become a comedy writer, working with comedy legend Barry Humphries. He explains how comedy was an inherent part of his family and how that led him to his career. We explore what makes comedy work and why being funny is all about being human.Paul shares some of his thoughts about how being more authentic can make us more engaging and how the increasing power of cognitive technology means we all need to be more human.To find out more about Paul and his company, True Funny: https://truefunny.co.uk/During our discussion, Paul referred to a number of comedians and comedy shows:Barry Humphries and Barry's comedy alter ego Dame Edna Everage: https://www.dame-edna.com/A clip that Paul referred to where Dame Edna speaks to former UK Prime Minister Ted Heath.

Nobody knew how to make the great and powerful with big egos get in line during a TV interview than Dame Edna. Her chat shows became the ones all the big ego celebs wanted to be on… only to be ridiculed and cut down to size be the Dame who in end could have passed for an elder member of the aristocracy. The Dame is one of the most ensuring cultural figures of the last few decades and was played by the Australian comic and actor Barry Humphries. Despite being the Dame being an LGBTQ+ icon to many, Humphries was famously anti woke and was labelled by some people as anti trans. So how did one of the biggest gender non confirming entertainment acts of all time end up being played by a straight man with conservative political leanings? Graeme Smith takes a personal look at the cultural impact of Dame Edna on young queer people growing up in the 80's and 90's and how that contrasted with the politics of the man himself. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/outcastuk/message

AP correspondent Karen Chammas reports on Australia Obit Barry Humphries.

Robert Horn's life story is an incredible testament that you can use humor as a way of survival—well, that and a little bit of luck. From getting separated from his twin and sneaking out of an orphanage when he was a little over 13 to renting an apartment in New York that was possibly run by the mob and eventually moving to LA to pursue a career in writing, his life is anything but boring. Robert talks about how he got his first gig and how it was kismet, what a showrunner really does and why it's great training for theatre, and his myopic approach when it comes to writing jokes. He looks back on his life in New York City during the 70's, which included working all sorts of jobs, including writing monologues for actors and working as a phone sex operator.  Robert has two productions currently on stage - the first is Disney's “Hercules”, currently open at the Papermill Playhouse, the other is “Shucked”, which begins previews on March 8th. With his long list of works and achievements, Robert reminds us that we should never stop learning how to laugh at ourselves and follow our instincts.  Robert Horn is a Tony, Drama Desk, Outer Critics Circle, and New York Drama Critics' Circle award-winning book writer. His career started in film and television where he worked as a writer on the CBS series "Designing Women" and as a writer and producer on the Fox series "Living Single". Following that, he created and Executive Produced the CBS series "High Society". He was also signed to an overall production deal with Warner Brothers Studios, where he developed, wrote, and executive-produced numerous network pilots and series. He also signed a script deal at Sony Studios and an overall pilot deal at ABC studios. Together with Bob Boyett, he created and wrote the FX series “Partners”. Robert's Broadway credits include "Dame Edna", "13 The Musical", "Back With A Vengeance", and "Tootsie" among others.  Connect with Robert: Instagram: @rhorn1 Connect with The Theatre Podcast: Support us on Patreon: Patreon.com/TheTheatrePodcast Twitter & Instagram: @theatre_podcast TikTok: @thetheatrepodcast Facebook.com/OfficialTheatrePodcast TheTheatrePodcast.com Alan's personal Instagram: @alanseales Email me at feedback@thetheatrepodcast.com.
