In episode #97, we celebrate the 50th anniversary of Estudando o Samba. Released in 1976, Estudando o Samba may be Tom Zé's ultimate concept album: a record that treats samba not as a fixed tradition, but as something to dismantle, investigate, and rebuild. Across its deliberately short-titled songs, he moves from samba-canção to bossa nova, avant-garde composition, microtonality and even homemade instruments, constantly blurring the line between popular and experimental music.In this episode, we go track by track through the album, exploring its compositions and songwriting, the origins and backstories of the songs, its unusual arrangements and recording techniques, and the ideas hidden behind Tom Zé's experiments. We also look at the album's initial rejection, its rediscovery by David Byrne, and how Estudando o Samba became one of the most inventive and influential Brazilian records of its era.Check Translationsmith for the translation of many songs from the album.Follow our playlist Brazuca Sounds Soundtrack.
Robin Clevett looks at the dangers of working in hazardous environments and asks whether tradespeople are sometimes being put in situations where safety is being compromised.Robin reacts to the story of a joiner who was left paralysed after falling through a skylight, as he shares his experience of the accident and the pressures he faced working in an unsafe environment.David Byrne talks about how even decades in, there's many times where you will find yourself put in potentially unsafe situations and why common sense is so valuable as you gain experience in the trade.Sean Matthews joins Robin to discuss the responsibility of managing large teams, maintaining safe working practices and what can happen when safety starts to take a back seat.John Argyle talks about his experiences in the past and what he learnt from others.
Hvor går man hen, når man som 61-årig efter 15 års tros tjeneste, bliver stemt ud af Folketinget? Gør man comeback? Vælger en ny vej i livet? For Venstres Jan E. Jørgensen blafrer svaret på det spørgsmål stadig lidt i vinden. Men efter de mange politiske kampe, opture og nedture, så er én ting i hvert fald helt sikkert: Lige nu, der skal han bare have det sjovt! Og det har han bla. i selskab med multi-musikeren David Byrne, som har bjergtaget Jan med koncerter på Roskilde Festival, studiealbummet "American Utopia" og livealbummet "American Utopia on Broadway". I dette afsnit af Portrætalbum kan du komme med i maskinrummet hos én af Venstres store storby profiler og måske blive klogere på, om Jan E. Jørgensen danser ligeså godt som David Byrne!

Welsey Stace in conversation with David Eastaugh https://wesleystace.bandcamp.com/ https://www.wesleystace.com/albums Recorded at Studio 1935 in Philadelphia's historic BOK Building, One Last Heist is produced, arranged and written by Wes and longtime collaborator David Nagler. The core band comprised Nagler himself (keyboards), Eddie Carlson (bass), and Stéphane San Juan (Caetano Veloso, David Byrne, Marcos Valle) on the drums. These backing tracks were supplemented by stellar guitar work from Joe Gore (Tom Waits, Tracy Chapman) and Justin Mazer (Bob Weir), extra drums from Patrick Berkery (The War on Drugs) and backing vocals by Chris von Sneidern. The bells and whistles - string quartets, clarinets, flutes, flugelhorns etc - were contributed later by friends all over. This heist began with frustrations about the one before, Stace recounts: “We'd intended the previous album Late Style to be the most elegant record imaginable, but COVID was a scruffy time and much of it was recorded in isolation in far-flung locations, without the chemistry and esprit de corps of musicians playing together in real time in the same space. It just couldn't be done how we wanted. So the prime motive here was to go one better, to arrange the songs first, then record them as a band, playing live in the studio, to let it be a ‘players' record, allowing for expressive solos, room to relax a little. Studio 1935 is open plan, very welcoming, not lots of isolated booths, so we were all able to congregate, interact, and improvise.”

David Byrne is a music icon.With Talking Heads, or his many wild collaborations, and as an acclaimed solo artist, he's continually pushed the boundaries of sound, crafting some of the most iconic live performances of our time.Over five decades, he's never stopped asking why. His curiosity has driven an extraordinary creative life that stretches way beyond music: on canvas, in writing, filmmaking, composing musicals. He's even designed bike racks.From hearing Bob Dylan's mysterious words on a tiny radio and discovering James Brown's interlocking grooves, to forming Talking Heads at the Rhode Island School of Design and moving to New York's CBGB scene, Byrne has always followed his curiosity wherever it leads. He wrote his very first song, "Psycho Killer," as a test to see if he could write one at all, and it became an instant classic.His collaborations read like a who's who of music history: Brian Eno, Arthur Russell, Parliament-Funkadelic, and even Celia Cruz. His 1984 concert film Stop Making Sense with Jonathan Demme remains one of the most celebrated live performances ever captured. And decades later, he's still rearranging his classic songs, finding new meaning in them, sometimes discovering, as with "Life During Wartime," that they feel more real and more close than ever.This episode was filmed for Season 5 of Take 5 with Zan Rowe in a recording studio in Sydney while David Byrne was in Australia touring over the 2025/26 summer. He was jubilant, fascinating, and so generous in exploring his huge life across five songs. As a lifelong DB fan, the theme was clear: curiosity. And as David himself says, the answers don't come in the songs. They come in the live shows, in how we perform and how we are with one another.David Byrne's song choices:James Brown - 'Get On the Good Foot'Joubert Singers - 'Stand On The Word' (Larry Levan mix)Celia Cruz - 'Cucala'James Blake - 'The Wilhelm Scream'Caetano Veloso - 'Tropicalia'00:00 Introduction: A Lifetime of Asking Questions02:01 Meet David Byrne: Icon, Collaborator, Polymath02:33 Extended Cut.

Chris Klimek convenes a battle of the bands between two of the most acclaimed concert films ever made: Jonathan Demme's Stop Making Sense and Martin Scorsese's The Last Waltz. One is a lean, propulsive document of Talking Heads at the height of their powers, transforming a live performance into something theatrical and strangely transcendent. The other is a star-studded farewell to The Band that expands beyond a single concert into a sweeping elegy for an era of rock and roll itself. Arguing for The Last Waltz is Steven Hyden (Is This It: The Never-Ending Rise and Fall of The Strokes and Rock and Roll), who contends that Scorsese's film is more than a concert movie: it's the definitive cinematic statement on rock music and its mythology. Representing Stop Making Sense is Elizabeth Cantwell (Bright Wall/Dark Room), who makes the case that Demme's film remains the more immersive, inventive, and enduring work of cinema. Is the greatest concert film about a band, or about rock and roll itself? Which movie best captures the power of live music on screen? Choose your winner at moviedeathmatch.com.

Send us Fan Mail In this episode, Marty gives Clif the movie The Wrong Missy to watch and Clif gives Marty the movie Married to the Mob to watch. First up is Married to the Mob, Jonathan Demme's 1988 crime comedy starring Michelle Pfeiffer, Matthew Modine, Alec Baldwin and a whole lot of familiar faces. Clif and Marty take a look at Angela DeMarco, a mobster's widow trying to escape the life she's married into, only to find the FBI and the mob making that considerably more difficult. They also dig into Demme's strange, cartoon-like tone, the eclectic David Byrne soundtrack and the staggering amount of 1980's energy packed into one movie.Then it's time for The Wrong Missy, the 2020 Netflix comedy starring David Spade and Lauren Lapkus. A simple texting mistake sends the wrong woman to a company retreat in Hawaii. Clif and Marty spend the next thirty minutes asking the most important question imaginable: after the first few minutes of this date, why didn't this guy just run? The discussion covers the movie's broad comedy, Lauren Lapkus' commitment to the material, David Spade's need for someone to play off of and why this particular brand of Netflix comedy can feel both entertaining and remarkably disposable.Along the way: Blondie, David Byrne, Matthew Modine still being Louden Swain, Joan Cusack's five-second appearance, Tom Cruise choosing Cocktail over Married to the Mob, 1980's title design and bad blind dates.#TalkingPondo #FilmPodcast #MarriedToTheMob #TheWrongMissy #MichellePfeiffer #80sMovies #MovieReview Support the showFind our films here:The Love Song of William H ShawRevenge of ZoeWriting Fren-ZeeMaking Pondo on FacebookBlueskyInstagramMaking Pondo on Letterboxd:Season OneSeason TwoSeason ThreeSeason FourTheme Song "The Rain" by Russ PacePhotos by Geoffrey Notkin
Peso Pluma Biography Flash a weekly Biography. Peso Pluma has had a relatively quiet but still telling few days, with most of the action happening around his broader cultural footprint rather than direct, headline‑grabbing moves of his own. One of the most significant long‑term biographical notes this week is that legendary musician David Byrne has spotlighted Peso Pluma in a new celebratory playlist dedicated to contemporary Mexican music, released ahead of Byrne's five‑show tour in Mexico City. According to Consequence, Byrne's curated mix places Peso Pluma alongside respected Mexican artists like Natalia Lafourcade, Café Tacvba, Silvana Estrada, and Julieta Venegas, underscoring how firmly Peso's corridos style has entered the global art‑music conversation rather than just the streaming charts. That kind of endorsement from a former Talking Heads frontman is the sort of career‑cementing nod that biographers circle in red ink. In terms of live performance history, recent setlist archives and tour data continue to frame his ongoing evolution as a major touring act. Setlist.fm's records for 2026 show Peso Pluma and collaborator Tito Double P playing major U.S. arenas like Chicago's United Center during the spring, reinforcing the narrative that by mid‑decade he had fully crossed from regional Mexican sensation to arena‑level touring star in the United States. While there are no widely reported brand‑new shows in just the past few days, these listings are being continually updated and referenced, keeping his tour footprint active in the public record and important for any current‑day look at his biography. Media coverage also keeps circling back to his role in the larger debate over corridos tumbados and their impact on young Mexican Americans. The Los Angeles Times recently highlighted Peso Pluma as one of the most prominent acts in the corridos scene, alongside Junior H and Fuerza Regida, in a feature about whether the TV talent show “México Canta” can connect with youth without leaning on corridos. That piece positions Peso not just as a hitmaker, but as a lightning‑rod figure in cultural discussions about identity, representation, and the sound of a new Mexican‑American generation. On the more gossip‑column side of his biography, Latin American entertainment outlets like Emisoras Unidas are still referencing the earlier scandal in which his ex, Nicki Nicole, publicly confirmed Peso Pluma's infidelity. While that revelation is not new to this week, its continued circulation in recent days shows how relationship drama remains part of the public narrative around him. Any fresh claims about new romantic partners or private incidents appearing on social media in the last 24 hours should be treated as speculation unless backed by a major outlet or direct confirmation from Peso Pluma's own accounts, and at this time there are no widely verified new controversies or business ventures reported. For fans tracking his sound, updated playlists such as a 2026 corridos tumbados mix featuring Peso Pluma alongside Junior H, Natanael Cano, Fuerza Regida, and others reflect how his catalog continues to anchor the genre's current wave on streaming services, even in the absence of a brand‑new single drop in the last couple of days. These curations matter biographically because they show Peso Pluma not as yesterday's trend, but as a core reference point for what corridos bélicos and tumbados sound like right now. That's your compact Peso Pluma Biography Flash for the past few days.

David Byrne of the Talking Heads has written a song for a 'scathing' new Elon Musk documentary - reportedly comprised of the billionaire's quotes. The new feature-length documentary, made by Alex Gibney, is out this October, and it's described as 'definitive and unvarnished examination' of the Tesla and SpaceX CEO. Musk has been quick to criticise, labelling the documentary a 'hit piece'. Entertainment correspondent Steve Newall explained further. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Do you feel like “The Weight of the World” is on your shoulders? I'm reminded of the Talking Heads song “Once in a Lifetime,” where David Byrne croons, “Well, how did I get here?” It's a good question. What is this “weight?” Are we really serving what is on our shoulders by heaving it around with us wherever we travel? What would happen if we just let it all go?
The Trombone Corner Podcast is brought to you by Bob Reeves Brass and The Brass Ark. Join hosts Noah and John as they interview Raymond Mason. About Raymond: At 35, Raymond James Mason has rapidly carved out a place as a sought-after studio musician and one of the leading trombonists in the high-demand world of pop music horn section work. From Taylor Swift to Ed Sheeran, Alicia Keys to Bruno Mars, Erykah Badu to Kelly Clarkson, Ray has performed alongside an eclectic roster of superstars across generations. His expansive career bridges genres, with notable collaborations including Don Henley, The Roots, Randy Newman, David Byrne, Jessie J, and many more. Ray's presence on Live TV is equally impressive. He was a key player in the 2020 Super Bowl LIV Halftime Show with Jennifer Lopez and Shakira, and performed with Eminem at the Academy Awards that same year. Other notable TV appearances include Saturday Night Live with Bruno Mars, The GRAMMY Awards with Nas, and the CMA Awards with Earth, Wind & Fire and Lady A. A seasoned touring artist, Ray has lent his trombone and multi-instrumental skills to acclaimed acts such as Bon Iver, Mumford & Sons, Blood, Sweat & Tears, Mark Ronson, FELA! The Musical, Lukas Graham, GRiZ, Valerie June, Bright Eyes, and Broken Social Scene, among others. As a studio trombonist, Ray's horn section work is featured on global hits like "Uptown Funk" by Mark Ronson feat. Bruno Mars. His credits also include records by Mac Miller, Lizzo, The Roots, Macklemore, Norah Jones, Little Big Town, and more. He's contributed to projects on renowned labels like Daptone, Truth & Soul, and Big Crown, including Charles Bradley's "Change For The World," Sharon Jones & The Dap-Kings' "Soul of a Woman," and Lee Fields & The Expressions' "It Rains Love." Ray's arranging skills have found their place with top producers including Dan Auerbach, Mark Ronson, Adam Blackstone, Diplo, El Michels Affair, and Danger Mouse. He's written for artists like Ed Sheeran, Lee Fields, Beck, Kelis, and Yola. In the world of soundtracks, Ray's work appears in major releases like the Amazon Prime Sports Theme, The Boys Season 3, The Get Down on Netflix, and upcoming projects for Disney+, Hulu, HBO Max, and AppleTV+. His music also resonates in ads for global brands such as Nike, Facebook, Taco Bell, and Garnier, alongside shows like Marvel's Captain America on Disney+, Suits on USA, Made For Love on HBO Max, and the theme for Barry on HBO. As a member of the Brooklyn afrobeat collective Antibalas, Ray earned a GRAMMY nomination for Best Global Music Album in 2020. His work with Antibalas has taken him to festivals around the world, where he's shared the stage with artists like My Morning Jacket, Brittany Howard, The Roots, Dr. John, Angelique Kidjo, and even Bill Withers in his final Carnegie Hall performance. Ray's musical foundation was built at NYU, where he studied under some of the most respected trombonists of our time: Tom Hutchinson, Mark Patterson, Robin Eubanks, Alan Ferber, and Elliot Mason. His mentorships with SNL Bandleader Lenny Pickett, GRAMMY-winning composer Brian Lynch, and Director of NYU Jazz Dave Pietro deepened his approach to the wide-ranging musical landscape of the 21st century.

This week, film scholar and author Mike Miley returns to the podcast to discuss one of his favorite directors, Jonathan Demme. Intriguingly, Mike opted to focus on Demme's earliest movies before his most successful era of SILENCE OF THE LAMBS and PHILADELPHIA. Although we touch on the unsung filmmaker's entire career, in this fast-paced, well-researched conversation, Mike and I cover Demme's background, recurring themes, collaborators (especially David Byrne), contemporaries, and those he influenced (most notably Paul Thomas Anderson), plus the films STOP MAKING SENSE, SOMETHING WILD, and MARRIED TO THE MOB. One of my favorite episodes of the season so far and perfect for the Fourth of July weekend given what Demme chooses to celebrate onscreen in America; it's also a must for cinephiles with access to the Criterion Channel, given that this month there's a spotlight on the filmmaker's work. Mike's Bio: Mike Miley is the author of David Lynch's American Dreamscape: Music, Literature, Cinema and Truth and Consequences: Game Shows in Fiction and Film. His writing on film has appeared in The Atlantic, Bright Lights Film Journal, Reactor, The Smart Set, and elsewhere. His next book, A Guide to Reading (and Finishing) David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest, will be published next year. He's currently working on an oral history about an 80s cult classic.

Stephen Tobolowsky has gifted us with indelible character performances while living an extraordinary life that spans from Texas roots to show biz lore to telepathy and beyond.Stephen reflects on his earliest pull toward Hollywood, when even as a child playing cowboys, he imagined the action as if it were being filmed. That instinct would carry him from Texas to Broadway to Los Angeles, constantly seeking opportunities to create. And his capabilities stretch beyond acting and music to include a Universe connection that has invited intriguing insights, unexplained knowing and“coincidences.” In fact, Stephen's abilities inspired David Byrne to write a song called Radiohead which led the band Radiohead to become exactly that.Best known by many as Groundhog Day's painfully persistent Ned Ryerson, Stephen comes loaded with behind-the-scenes intel on the film's famously complex shoot, during which he and Bill Murray (portraying a weatherman!) were kept on constant standby to shoot the scene in every possible weather condition for director Harold Ramis. The conversation winds from Stephen's participation in Thelma & Louise's iconic final moment to Brad Pitt's instant star quality to a chilling moment, on location for Mississippi Burning, were Stephen, playing a KKK grand wizard, was pulled aside by a Klansman and told, “We will be watching you.” Stephen opens up about his collaborations and creative relationships, including his connection to playwright Beth Henley and how he helped shape her Pulitzer Prize-winning Crimes of the Heart and his enduring love story and best-friendship with his wife, Actress/Director Ann Hearn.From Memento to Silicon Valley, Stephen reflects on the wide range of roles he's brought to life, offering insight into Christopher Nolan's storytelling brilliance, Norman Lear's landmark contributions and the stark terror of performing Live In Front Of A Studio Audience. He also speaks candidly about being entirely recognizable and shares what folks tend to run over and say when they become HIS Ned Ryerson!And Stephen brings his masterful storytelling to IMDB Roulette, covering One Day At A Time, The Goldbergs, Spaceballs, Glee and Nobody Wants This while weaving Hollywood history with personal perspectives and navigating the curious intersection of art and life.In current media--Weezy: Outlast The Jungle on NetflixLisa: Book, The Correspondent by Virginia EvansPath Points of Interest:Stephen Tobolowsky BooksStephen Tobolowsky - WikipediaThe Tobolowsky Files PodcastStephen Tobolowsky on IMDBStephen Tobolowsky on FacebookOutlast The Jungle The Correspondent by Virginia Evans

David Byrne's 1997 solo album Feelings is a tour de force and an undeniably powerful statement. More than just a pop release, it's a deeply personal, artistic statement that still balances broad popular appeal and art rock sensibilities. Featuring collaborations with Morcheeba, Devo and more, Feelings was an attempt to reconcile once and for all the duality of artist and entertainer, and luckily David came out on top in the end. Tracks: Fuzzy Freaky Miss America A soft seduction Dance on vaseline Gates of paradise Amnesia You don't know me Daddy go down Finite = Alright Wicked little doll Burnt by the sun The civil wars (Untitled) They are in love Live cover: The Model (w.

‘Graceland' was an almighty gamble for Paul Simon, a costly, high-risk departure from the music he'd been making and a complex international venture. And a game-changing, worldwide triumph. When Ashley Kahn taught a course about it at New York University, Simon turned up to contribute. His book ‘Days Of Miracle And Wonder' tells the story of what inspired the album, the way it was recorded and the global reaction when it arrived in 1986. We talk to him here about … … the bootleg cassette of township jive that inspired the Graceland project … fraying relations with Art Garfunkel and Carrie Fisher ... his habit of playing unfinished tracks to people – David Byrne, Philip Glass, Neil Diamond – while singing the vocal into their ear … the extraordinary way he apologised for the failure of One Trick Pony … how Bakithi Kumalo's bass solo on You Can Call Me Al is a palindrome – “first half forwards, second half reversed!” … the advice Quincy Jones gave him about South Africa's cultural boycott … the key role of Roy Halee, engineer and long-time creative collaborator ... the Johannesburg sessions that “started with rhythm and worked backwards” … Kind Of Blue, A Love Supreme, other albums that merit a book to themselves … the details you hear in the tracks' last seconds … and the Grammy telecast that cemented the album's US success.

What does it take to make a street safer for everyone? In the US, it typically requires a combination of tragedy, grassroots organizing, and political leadership. Even when these ingredients come together, success is never guaranteed, as so many projects become battles about more than just bike lanes. Changing Lanes, a new documentary from director Ben Wolf, covers the fight to make McGuinness Boulevard in Greenpoint, Brooklyn, safer following the tragic death of a beloved teacher at the hands of a hit-and-run driver. Featuring interviews with such notable figures as Janette Sadik-Khan and former Talking Heads frontman David Byrne, Changing Lanes moves beyond bike lanes to tell a story that's very much made for this political and cultural moment. Wolf joins us along with advocates Bronwyn Breitner and Kevin LaCherra, as well as New York State Assemblymember Emily Gallagher, to talk about how they fought to make McGuinness safe and the broader lessons they learned along the way. ***Join The War on Cars on Patreon and listen to ad-free versions of regular episodes, Patreon-only bonus content, invitations to live events, merch discounts and free stickers!*** SHOW NOTES: Stream Changing Lanes on Amazon or Kanopy.

Adam talks with American journalist Patrick Radden Keefe about his book London Falling: A Mysterious Death in a Gilded City and a Family's Search for Truth, the challenges presented by parenting adolescents, the seductive power of movies like The Wolf Of Wall Street and Patrick's own efforts to resist the glamorising effect of TV and film during production of the TV adaptation of his book about the Troubles in Northern Ireland, Say Nothing, and Adam's own ludicrous taste of the criminal life in his early adolescence. There's also chat about why David Byrne's live show was the best live music show Adam has ever seen and whether it's OK to stand up at a seated music show.Conversation recorded face-to-face in Bath on 7 May, 2026LONDON FALLING by Patrick Radden Keefe - 2026 (Waterstones)CLARIFICATION RE. STATINS vs GLP-1sResponding to Adam's comments about statins at the end of the conversation with Patrick, this was sent in by Dr Mit Shah, MBBS BSc (Hons) PhD, Consultant Cardiologist in Preventive Cardiology, Harefield Hospital:I'm a consultant cardiologist specialising in lipid disorders and preventive cardiology. While both GLP-1 drugs and statins can reduce cardiovascular risk, they work through very different mechanisms and treat different underlying problems. Statins are specifically used to lower LDL cholesterol, whereas GLP-1 drugs mainly work through the blood glucose and weight-loss pathway, with only modest effects on cholesterol.Statins have become somewhat unfairly maligned through widespread misinformation and exaggerated claims about side effects, despite very strong clinical evidence for benefit. In fact, researchers have even performed randomised trials demonstrating a significant “nocebo effect”, where patients experience expected side effects even when taking placebo tablets due to their preconceived expectations and worries. Daily, I see patients with severe (sometimes genetic) cholesterol disorders who have a critical need for statin therapy, but who are understandably hesitant because of what they've heard online. I worry that the idea that GLP-1s could simply replace statins may unintentionally add to that confusion.SUBMIT QUESTIONS FOR Q&A EPISODE: Adambuxtonpodcast@gmail.comThanks to Diggory Waite and Claire Broughton at Hattrick and Séamus Murphy Mitchell for production support.Podcast illustration by Helen GreenSPONSOR: SAILY

On this wild FU Friday, Opie wakes up ornery after microwaving coffee with almond milk, sparking epic rants about "real men drink it black," Bill Burr, Boston comics, and endless Clark puns (Clark Kent, Clark Griswold, Bobby Clark — you name it). The crew dives deep into New York infrastructure hell: a massive sinkhole swallowing the LIE (Opie's old exit!), potholes vs. fancy FIFA World Cup soccer fields at MetLife, and the looming LIRR strike that could cripple Long Island commutes. Plus, the insane true story of the Florida man whose bedroom literally fell into a sinkhole — never to be seen again. Ron chows down on a bagel live on camera, the guys challenge each other to a push-up contest, super chats fly (Gary Gay Boobs and Drew Mayfield keeping it hilarious), and they roast the upcoming World Cup halftime show with Shakira, Grandma Madonna, and BTS. David Byrne/Talking Heads talk, celebrity herpes rumors, and classic Opie chaos round it out.

This week, Julia Turner and Dana Stevens are joined by Slate's own Rebecca Onion to discuss The Devil Wears Prada 2, BEEF season 2, and the NYT's best living songwriters package with Slate's music critic Carl Wilson. Twenty years on, we return to the world of The Devil Wears Prada. In the sequel, Andy, Anne Hathaway's character, must save Runway Magazine from the forces of capital, who are selling the Vogue-analogue for parts, as Meryl Streep's Miranda Priestly struggles to hang on to her own power. The movie has a lot to say about the state of journalism and media with plot lines seemingly ripped from the gossip pages, but does it all come together in the edit? We discuss. Then, the second season of A24's anthology series BEEF stars Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan as a volatile millennial couple who enter into a feud with a younger couple, played by Cailee Spaeny and Charles Melton. Set at a rich Californian golf resort and its environs, the show satirizes class and generational resentments as the characters scramble to claim the scraps of their betters at the expense of everyone else. The characters are mostly unlikeable, and the premise might be a little less original than the first season, but given BEEF's stacked cast and pedigree, does the show sizzle? Finally we're joined by Carl Wilson, Slate's music critic and author of the newsletter “Crritic!” to discuss the New York Times package: The 30 Greatest Living Songwriters. Carl submitted a ballot for the list, and the polished version isn't too far from his submission. He gets into his picks and discusses what the list is saying about the field of songwriting and the idea of a songwriter as it's been expanded to include non-traditional instrumentation and digital composition. But like all lists it has sparked debate about the inclusions (Carole King, Stevie Wonder) the exclusions (Randy Newman, Liz Phair, David Byrne) and whether Taylor Swift's inclusion was solely to get an interview.

This week, Julia Turner and Dana Stevens are joined by Slate's own Rebecca Onion to discuss The Devil Wears Prada 2, BEEF season 2, and the NYT's best living songwriters package with Slate's music critic Carl Wilson. Twenty years on, we return to the world of The Devil Wears Prada. In the sequel, Andy, Anne Hathaway's character, must save Runway Magazine from the forces of capital, who are selling the Vogue-analogue for parts, as Meryl Streep's Miranda Priestly struggles to hang on to her own power. The movie has a lot to say about the state of journalism and media with plot lines seemingly ripped from the gossip pages, but does it all come together in the edit? We discuss. Then, the second season of A24's anthology series BEEF stars Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan as a volatile millennial couple who enter into a feud with a younger couple, played by Cailee Spaeny and Charles Melton. Set at a rich Californian golf resort and its environs, the show satirizes class and generational resentments as the characters scramble to claim the scraps of their betters at the expense of everyone else. The characters are mostly unlikeable, and the premise might be a little less original than the first season, but given BEEF's stacked cast and pedigree, does the show sizzle? Finally we're joined by Carl Wilson, Slate's music critic and author of the newsletter “Crritic!” to discuss the New York Times package: The 30 Greatest Living Songwriters. Carl submitted a ballot for the list, and the polished version isn't too far from his submission. He gets into his picks and discusses what the list is saying about the field of songwriting and the idea of a songwriter as it's been expanded to include non-traditional instrumentation and digital composition. But like all lists it has sparked debate about the inclusions (Carole King, Stevie Wonder) the exclusions (Randy Newman, Liz Phair, David Byrne) and whether Taylor Swift's inclusion was solely to get an interview. Together with Carl, we try and make sense of the list and talk about our favorites.

Welcome back to another absolutely unhinged episode of The Rizzuto Show, your go-to funny podcast where the only thing more unpredictable than the news is… us. Today's chaos kicks off with King Scott officially turning 45 — which means he's now halfway to yelling at clouds and fully committed to wearing tracksuits like it's a lifestyle, not a phase.Naturally, we celebrate the milestone the only way we know how: by immediately spiraling into conversations about golf, naps, and whether turning 45 unlocks a new personality trait where you just start roasting everyone in sight. (Spoiler: we're rooting for it.)Then things get… emotional? Somehow? After a night at the Stifel Theatre seeing David Byrne, Lern admits she cried — yes, actual tears — during a performance that she describes as “spiritual.” We break down the experience, the unexpected power of Talking Heads songs, and why a room full of stylish 60-year-olds might actually be the best concert crowd on Earth.But don't get too comfortable, because the show quickly takes a hard left into one of our favorite segments: Guess the Gender (and Age) — featuring some of the most chaotic, unexplainable crimes we've ever covered. Including:A Florida “Poopetrator” terrorizing a neighborhood (yes, exactly what it sounds like)A full-on orthodontist meltdown involving pants removal and a slap heard ‘round the waiting roomA Subway sandwich dispute that escalates to violence over stale bread (honestly, relatable… but still illegal)And a Taco Bell soda cup scam that somehow turns into a full-blown firearm incidentWe also tackle the internet's newest pointless debate: which direction you should face in the shower — because apparently, even hygiene isn't safe from overthinking anymore.It's weird. It's chaotic. It's definitely a funny podcast — and somehow, it all makes sense when you're listening.If you came for laughs, questionable life advice, and stories that make you feel better about your own decisions… congrats, you're in the right place.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShow.Hear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.
