(Re)découvrez la face cachée d'un couple hollywoodien : les acteurs Will Smith et Jada Pinkett. Depuis les années 90, ils semblaient réussir là où tout le monde échouait : être riches et célèbres, tout en ayant une famille stable et aimante. Mais derrière cette perfection apparente se cache un mariage chaotique et étouffant. Et lorsque le mensonge éclate au grand jour, c'est une tempête médiatique qui s'annonce… Une gifle, et tout dérape Le 27 mars 2022, en pleine cérémonie des Oscars, Will Smith donne une claque au présentateur de la cérémonie Chris Rock, pour avoir fait une blague sur le crâne rasé de Jada. La séquence devient rapidement une des vidéos les plus retweetées de l'histoire, mais le mystère reste entier. Qu'est-ce qui a bien pu piquer Will ? Pour une grande partie du public, la réponse est toute trouvée : c'est Jada. Misogynie, guerre d'ego, harcèlement : depuis la gifle, c'est une mécanique de haine qui se met en place contre l'actrice… Qu'adviendra-t-il de leur couple après cette séquence ?

For decades, Joni Mitchell's life and music have enraptured listeners. One of the most celebrated artists of her generation, Mitchell has inspired countless musicians--from peers like James Taylor, to inheritors like Prince and Brandi Carlile--and authors, who have dissected her music and her life in their writing. At the same time, Mitchell has always been a force beckoning us still closer, as--with the other arm--she pushes us away. Given this, music critic Ann Powers wondered if there was another way to draw insights from the life of this singular musician who never stops moving, never stops experimenting. In Traveling: On the Path of Joni Mitchell (Dey Street Books, 2024), Powers seeks to understand Mitchell through her myriad journeys. Through extensive interviews with Mitchell's peers and deep archival research, she takes readers to rural Canada, mapping the singer's childhood battle with polio. She charts the course of Mitchell's musical evolution, ranging from early folk to jazz fusion to experimentation with pop synthetics. She follows the winding road of Mitchell's collaborations with other greats, and the loves that emerged along the way, all the way through to the remarkable return of Mitchell to music-making after the 2015 aneurysm that nearly took her life. Along this journey, Powers' wide-ranging musings on the artist's life and career reconsider the biographer's role and the way it twines against the reality of a fan. In doing so, Traveling illustrates the shifting nature of biography, and the ultimate contradiction of celebrity: that an icon cannot truly, completely be known to a fan. Kaleidoscopic in scope, and intimate in its detail, Traveling is a fresh and fascinating addition to the Joni Mitchell canon, written by a biographer in full command of her gifts who asks as much of herself as of her subject. Ann Powers has been a music critic for more than thirty years, working for NPR, the Los Angeles Times, the New York Times, and other publications. In the decade she has worked with NPR, she has written extensively on music and culture and appeared regularly on the All Songs Considered podcast and on news shows including All Things Considered and Morning Edition. Her books include a memoir, Weird Like Us: My Bohemian America; Good Booty: Love and Sex, Black and White, Body and Soul in American Music; and Piece by Piece with Tori Amos.

On this episode, legendary singer-songwriter Darius Rucker joins Everything Fab Four to share how he first discovered the Beatles at five, and which Beatles album he thinks is the “most perfect album ever made.”  Rucker first achieved multi-Platinum status in the music industry as lead singer and rhythm guitarist of the GRAMMY Award-winning band Hootie & the Blowfish, who have sold more than 25 million albums worldwide. Their Double Diamond-certified (21x Platinum) debut Cracked Rear View remains among the best-selling studio albums of all time. Since releasing his first country album in 2008, Rucker has earned four No. 1 albums on the Billboard Country chart, 10 No. 1 singles at Country radio, and 11 Gold, Platinum or multi-Platinum certified hits. Rucker was also inducted as a Grand Ole Opry member in 2012, and his GRAMMY-winning version of “Wagon Wheel,” has become one of the top five best-selling Country songs of all time. His brand-new album Carolyn's Boy is available everywhere now and his first book, a memoir titled “Life's Too Short,” is set for release via Dey Street Books on May 28th. A lifelong philanthropist, Rucker co-chaired the campaign that generated $150 million to help build the MUSC Shawn Jenkins Children's Hospital in his hometown of Charleston, S.C., and has raised over $3.6 million for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital through his annual Darius & Friends benefit concert and golf tournament.

Dey Street Books is thrilled to announce the upcoming publication of THE TERRIFYING REALM OF THE POSSIBLE: Nearly True Stories, a daring and hilariously neurotic literary debut from the acclaimed actor and comedian Brett Gelman (Stanger Things, Fleabag, LOVE). Enter the wonderfully weird, always uncomfortable, side-splittingly funny world of THE TERRIFYING REALM OF THE POSSIBLE, where your worst fears of who you are or might become are always just around the corner. In Gelman's masterful short stories, you'll meet five individuals, each navigating a uniquely strange stage of life: ABRAHAM AMSTERDAM (the child)MENDEL FREUDENBERGER (the teenager)JACKIE COHEN (the adult)IRIS BELOW (the senior)Z (the dead) These characters face the big issues; the ones we all face. As they traverse the prickly terrain of morality, family, sex, fame, religion, and death they search for answers to life's unanswerable questions. In the futility of that search comes the absurdity, along with the comedy. The composite portrait is an existential (mis)adventure of Rothian proportions. Illustrated with original drawings by the author, Gelman's remarkable first book is a bold, unforgettable debut that challenges our assumptions about what it means to be human.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Suzanne Nossel: Dare to Speak

In this episode of Capital for Good we speak with Suzanne Nossel, the chief executive officer of PEN America, and one of the country's most prominent experts and voices on free speech, free expression, and human rights. Nossel has held leadership roles in government, the nonprofit and private sectors, and is the author of the award-winning book Dare to Speak: Defending Free Speech for All.   We begin with some of Nossel's formative personal and professional experiences that shaped her passion for human rights, including participating as a young person in the movement to free Soviet Jews in the 1980s, and her years after college in South Africa during the country's early transition from Apartheid to democracy. Both influenced what would become a throughline throughout her career — “an impulse to advocate for people who take great risks, who assert themselves, who challenge authority,” whether that was leading important initiatives at the State Department under President Obama, at the UN under President Clinton, or at civil society organizations like Human Rights Watch, Amnesty International, and now PEN America.   Nossel walks us through a kind of “free speech and free expression” 101. She explains that while much of the important conversation about free speech centers on the First Amendment, and therefore on protections against government infringement on speech, more broadly free speech is also the foundational right for all other rights in a free and democratic society, the “catalyst for a range of social goods.” Nossel reminds us that the open exchange of ideas allows for deliberation, persuasion, debate, accountability, the ability to make better policies, choose better leaders, and advance scientific progress artistic creativity; freedom of expression is “an underwriter of so many other movements, the ability to advocate for… women's rights, climate justice, racial justice.” She worries about a rising generation becoming alienated from the principle of free speech, seeing free speech at odds with commitments to diversity, inclusion, and pluralism — when in fact they are mutually supportive and reinforcing.   We discuss many of the ways Nossel and her PEN America colleagues aim to serve as “guarantors of free speech and open discourse” through work to “celebrate and defend freedom of expression worldwide.” Some of this takes the form of enabling and amplifying lesser heard voices like Dreamers or incarcerated writers; some through awards, festivals, and public programming celebrating a “big tent” of writers and voices that in turn supports PEN's free expression and advocacy work, including the defense of persecuted writers around the world, litigation, i.e., the recent federal lawsuit in Escambia County, Florida challenging book bans, or warnings on the dangers of education gag orders. For years, PEN America has also worked on issues of campus free speech, a topic we explore in light of the recent protests and crises of university leadership. Nossel hopes that today's campus convulsions have brought about a recognition that universities need to put in place deliberate, intentional training and inculcation of a culture of free speech, open discourse, and academic freedom to support the diversity of experience, opinion, and perspective that makes universities “catalysts for understanding and growth.”   We also touch on the large and “messy” issues of online speech, the ways it can be weaponized, the challenges of disinformation, of businesses built on algorithms that prioritize inflammatory content — that are not governed as public entities or liable for most posted speech, and of the lag in appropriate regulation. “The best we can do is experiment,” Nossel says. To date, that experimentation has included important new EU regulations, and efforts from the tech companies themselves to improve content moderation. Nossel herself sits on the Meta oversight board, a group that works to apply human rights principles to adjudicate complex content moderation quandaries and dilemmas.   While deeply concerned about speech issues — particularly the problems of misinformation in an election year (in the United States and around the world), Nossel is also hopeful there is increased recognition, on the political left and right “that each has a stake in speech.” “Speech really should be an issue that sits above politics, and for a long time it was,” she says. “My hope is that we can go back to that when it comes to the nature of our discourse.”    Thanks for Listening!

She writes about this and more in ‘Paris: The Memoir' (Dey Street Books, March 14). “A lot of what I did with this character was just a trauma response to all the abuse that I went through as a teenager.” Placed in the controversial Provo Canyon School, a mental health treatment center for girls, Paris writes candidly about the abuse she suffered. “When I was coming out of Provo, I definitely modeled my character on Marilyn Monroe.” When you know this about Paris, you begin to understand so much about her. Now a new wife and mother—“I didn't even know what love was until I met this baby”—Paris, who says she always felt “judged” and “alone” as a young woman, is ready to share her story on her terms. “I've lived this crazy, amazing life, but there's also been so many hard times, and I just wanted to put it all out there because I'm proud of the woman that I am today and everything that I've been through.

ABOUT CHEF ANDY MURRAY AND EAT, DRINK & BE MURRAY"My hope in reliving some of my favorite culinary experiences with you over the following pages is that not only will you learn to make some incredible dishes for friends and family, but you will also discover your own love of cooking. These stories, recipes, and tips became part of my DNA after spending a life in the kitchen." ─ Andy Murray, from the introduction of EAT, DRINK AND BE MURRAYThis fall, Dey Street Books is thrilled to publish EAT, DRINK AND BE MURRAY: A Feast of Family Fun and Favorites by Chef Andy Murray (On Sale: November 8, 2022 with a foreward by his brother Bill Murray).The Murray family loves to gather-at holidays, on the golf course-and, most of all, around the table. Manning the kitchen is Andy, who began his culinary education at four years old when his mother, Lucille, taught him how to cook bacon- "There's one rule. You never leave the room when you're making bacon because as soon as you do, it will burn."One of nine children, Andy's first job was at the age of eleven when he was hired to be a busboy at the corner restaurant. He quickly graduated to dishwasher then short-order cook before leaving the Midwest for New York for culinary training at the New York Restaurant School. Since then, he has worked in some of the biggest restaurants in the business and become known for his delicious and family-friendly meals with his popular Murray Bros. Caddyshack restaurants in St. Augustine, FL and Rosemont, IL.In EAT, DRINK AND BE MURRAY, Andy invites readers to the Murray dinner table and shares a wide assortment of recipes including:. Murray French Toast. Chicken Hash. Tempting Tomato Pie. Caddyshack Golf Balls. Andy's Chicken Vegetable Soup. Grilled Pimento Cheese Sandwich. Lucille's Fried Chicken . South Carolina Pappardelle. Key Lime Pie. Pineapple Upside Down Cake. 19th Hole-signature drink at Murray Bros. Caddyshack. Bloody BullAndy's approach to cooking is bolstered by the belief that the best part of any meal is the time you spend laughing at the table. The Murrays spend a lot of time laughing and food has always been their way of showing love, though a good cocktail doesn't hurt. Also in EAT, DRINK AND BE MURRAY, readers get to hear some of their incredible family stories-from learning about the food favorites of his siblings, cooking side by side with his mom, and behind the scenes looks at working in the kitchen of New York's biggest culinary institutions, to never-before-told stories of Bill's legendary pranks and the family's love of golf.Full of gorgeous food photography, never-before-seen Murray family snapshots, a helpful list of kitchen must-haves, and hilarious family stories, this cookbook is like pulling a seat up at the Murray table: dig in!ABOUT ANDY MURRAYAndy Murray spent more than 25 years as a chef in high-end restaurants, including Mortimer's and Tribeca Grill. In June 2001 he opened the Murray Bros. Caddyshack restaurant in St. Augustine Florida, and April of 2018 in Chicago. He is the seventh of nine Murray children. He splits his time between St. Augustine Florida and the Chicago area.Get the book here: https://www.amazon.com/Eat-Drink-Be-Murray-Favorites/dp/0063141000

On Tuesday, May 17, A House Intelligence subcommittee held the first congressional hearing in more than 50 years to focus on military reports of unexplained aerial phenomena (UFOs and UAPs)! This rare event included documents, discussions, videos and testimonies from Pentagon officials, pilots and others- along with the formation of a new organization called, AOIMSG….and YOU KNOW wherever there's a long space acronym, an episode of Casual Space is sure to follow!!! Join Beth, Chad and special guest Author, podcast host and UFO researcher AND friend of the show Mark O'Connell!   From the official congressional transcripts, this is how the hearing opened: “In 2017, we learned for the first time that the Department of defense had quietly restarted a similar organization tracking what we now call Unidentified Aerial Phenomena or UAPs. Last year, Congress rewrote the charter for that organization now called the Airborne Object Identification and Management. Synchronization Group or AOIMSG for short. Today, we will bring that organization out of the shadows. This hearing and oversight work has a simple idea at its core. Unidentified aerial phenomena are a potential national security threat, and they need to be treated that way. For too long the stigma associated with UAPs has gotten in the way of good intelligence analysis, pilots avoided reporting or were laughed at when they did. It's true, but they are real. They need to be investigated. And many threats they pose need to be mitigated.” Here's a great article by Axios to get you all caught-up: https://www.axios.com/2022/05/17/congress-pentagon-ufo-uap-hearing  and here are the actual transcripts of the congressional hearing if you really want to dig in: https://www.rev.com/blog/transcripts/congress-holds-historic-open-hearing-on-ufos-5-17-22-transcript  About Mark: Mark O'Connell bio: Mark O'Connell got his start in television writing for Trek: The Next Generation” (“Timescape”) and “Star Trek: Deep Space Nine” (“Second Sight,” “Meridian,” “For the Cause” and fan favorite “Who Mourns for Morn?”).

In this week's episode, Stefania tells Laura the story of RUTH BADER GINSBURG, a lawyer, professor, judge, and steadfast pioneer in the fight for gender equality under the law. She was the co-founder of the Women's Rights Project at the ACLU, and later spent 10 years on the U.S. Court of Appeals. In 1993, she became the second woman and 107th U.S. Supreme Court Justice, serving 27 years on the bench. Her unrelenting devotion to the pursuit of constitutional gender equality earned her the moniker: “the great dissenter” reading aloud from the bench, attempting to redirect the court's path, get the attention of congress, and address the courts of the future. This led her to become a legal and cultural phenomenon, with yet another moniker: “The Notorious RBG”.

Benjamin R. Teitelbaum, "War for Eternity: Inside Bannon's Far-right Circle of Global Power Brokers" (Dey Street Books, 2020)

An explosive and unprecedented inside look at Steve Bannon's entourage of global powerbrokers and the hidden alliances shaping today's geopolitical upheaval. In 2015, Bloomberg News named Steve Bannon “the most dangerous political operative in America.” Since then, he has grown exponentially more powerful—and not only in the United States. In this groundbreaking and urgent account, award-winning scholar of the radical right Benjamin Teitelbaum takes readers behind-the-scenes of Bannon's global campaign against modernity in War for Eternity: Inside Bannon's Far-Right Circle of Global Power Brokers (Dey Street Books, 2020). Inspired by a radical twentieth-century ideology called Traditionalism, Bannon and a small group of right-wing powerbrokers are planning new political mobilizations on a global scale—discussed and debated in secret meetings organized by Bannon in hotel suites and private apartments in DC, Europe and South America. Their goal? To upend the world order and reorganize geopolitics on the basis of archaic values rather than modern ideals of democracy, freedom, social progress, and human rights. Their strenuous efforts are already producing results, from the fortification of borders throughout the world and the targeting of immigrants, to the undermining of the European Union and United States governments, and the expansion of Russian influence. Drawing from exclusive interviews with Bannon's hidden network of far-right thinkers, years of academic research into the radical right, and with unprecedented access to the esoteric salons where they meet, Teitelbaum exposes their considerable impact on the world and their radical vision for the future. Kirk Meighoo is a TV and podcast host, former university lecturer, author and former Senator in Trinidad and Tobago.
