Today we remember original SNL writer, Anne Beatts. Coming to Saturday Night Live by way of The National Lampoon, she was both a vital voice and powerful force in the early formative years of the show.Not only did Anne create the iconic "Nerds," she also contributed to such memorable characters and sketches as Irwin Mainway, Uncle Roy, and "Hard Hats." Her voice was also showcased on commercial parodies like "Jewess Jeans," "Angora Bouquet," and "Chanel."Fellow original SNL writer Rosie Shuster returns to the podcast to help us look back to remember not only Anne Beatts the writer, but also the person. As the only two female writers when the show began, Anne and Rosie were paired together from the very beginning—forming a partnership that would last throughout the original era.Rosie recounts her time with Anne from their hilarious first meeting to late night writing sessions and pulling off iconic moments like the very first Roseanne Roseannadanna as well as discussing how Anne's work on the show's pre-tapes helped pave the way for the rest of her career. In addition, she recounts how Anne fought for equality in the writers room, kept control over her characters, and brought a sense of style and humor to everything she did.Anne Beatts was a 5-time Emmy nominee, winning for SNL's first season. She also won a Writer's Guild Award for her work on the Saturday Night Live 25th Anniversary Special. Aside from her work on SNL, Anne created the sitcom, Square Pegs (starring Sarah Jessica Parker) and was a producer on A Different World.---------------------------------Subscribe & Follow today!And follow us on social media: Twitter: @NR4PTProject Instagram: @nr4ptprojectBluesky: @nr4ptproject.bsky.socialFacebook: The Not Ready for Prime Time ProjectContact Us: Website: https://www.nr4project.comEmail: nr4ptproject@gmail.com

Ephraim on the spiritual power of letters, language, and perception. Drawing on a story of the Baal Shem Tov transforming a harsh decree into “only a trace of fear,” the episode reflects on how the same letters can spell nega, affliction, or oneg, delight. The teaching invites us to ask: what word is our life spelling right now, and can we rearrange the letters into something more whole, healing, and true?

A shocking security breach at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner dominated national headlines after an armed suspect attempted to rush a checkpoint at the Washington Hilton, injuring a Secret Service agent and triggering major questions about event security and political violence. Investigators say the suspect, Cole Allen, left behind writings targeting Trump administration officials, sparking renewed debate about public safety, extremist rhetoric, and how high‑profile political events are protected going forward. Elsewhere on the show, Megan Thee Stallion confirmed she is officially single after ending her relationship with NBA star Klay Thompson, citing trust, fidelity, and respect as non‑negotiables, a breakup that played out publicly as she powered through an emotional Broadway performance in Moulin Rouge!.

Kelly and Sharon dive into early reactions surrounding the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic "Michael" sharing why they're still excited to see the film despite mixed reviews. They also discuss the highly anticipated "A Different World" reboot including updates from Cree Summer about her character Freddie Brooks and also reflecting on the show's cultural impact in the 90's.   The conversation continues with a spotlight on RAYE and her growing influence in the music industry, including her upcoming honour at the Songwriters Hall of Fame. Kelly also shares a touching story from RAYE's concert that resonated with her radio audience.   Plus, Madonna returns with new music as Kelly and Sharon react to “I Feel So Free” from her upcoming album and they also mark the 10th anniversary of Prince's passing celebrating his legacy and lasting influence.   The episode also features our 90's Playlist Picks of the Week, Kelly's Trivia and Sharon's 1994 Rewind. Thanks for listening to 90's NOW!

In this episode, the first of our Legendary Disruptors series, we celebrate ‘90s comedy icon Keenen Ivory Wayans and the legacy of In Living Color, the revolutionary sketch series on FOX, how it centered the Black American experience, and its impact on comedy and culture. We dig into how Wayans hired the writers and performers who would become legends, the way he used satire to upend stereotypes, and his refusal to water down the show for white audiences and skittish network executives. Wayans reflects on what it's like working with his family and how they made their way into comedy, as well as how comedy has and hasn't changed in the 21st century. We are then joined by writer and director Felicia Pride to discuss the legacy of In Living Color, the 90s golden era of Black sitcoms, and her own upcoming reboot of A Different World for Netflix.

Dan, Manny, & Billy give their honest opinions on the slew of reboot, remake, and legacy sequel slop and rumors, and they put it all to the ultimate test—THE NOSTALGIA TEST!   “I feel like as a society, we just went back in time anyway, and [...] should we be happy about it? Like there's so many things that are happening that are like from our era, like, Brittany Spears got arrested for DUI [we're] back at war with the Middle East. I mean, like, we're in the nineties. Even the government wanted to be nostalgic. I think what I'm going  to say, I wanna blame us for this.” -Manny Coelho   If you've been a longtime listener to the pod then you know the boys' opinion on reboots, and they really don't veer away from their absolute hatred and confusion of the reboot craze and legacy sequels that aren't Top Gun 2: Maverick. They react to the news of reboots for Starship Troopers and Faces of Death, and then Billy gives a brief and honest breakdown of the 2025 reboot of Youngbloods. They comes the endless legacy sequel rumors and news. They question the logic for a Demolition Man 2, Face/Off 2, Heat 2, Riddick 4, Toy Story 5, another Conan the Barbarian, Predator w/ Schwarzenegger, and why not do a legacy sequel for one of the most unhinged 80s action movies ever made Commando. Days of Thunder legacy sequel anyone? This one causes the guys to pause and think about what Tom Cruise would be able to do in this film, what's the big stunt, and Dan has a suggestion for Mr. Cruise. Then the guys try to figure out how William Shatner got so famous being so mediocre, Dan gives an energetic F-you monologue to Gene Simmons and then graces everyone with his rendition of the Different World theme song because, that's right, they're producing a sequel series! Why not, right. And while we're at it, let's make a confusing to figure out when it would start Man on Fire Series. If Hollywood is listening (or is interested at all) Billy is ready to help write and produce the Ghost Rider movie we all deserved.

It's A Different World 4-12 by Emmanuel Baptist Church, San Jose, CA

Over the past year, like no other time in recent memory, immigration law and enforcement has been in the spotlight. Guest William Menard is a longtime immigration attorney and a managing partner at the California immigration law firm Root Law Group. He's also the host of the immigration-focused podcast “The American Immigrant.”  Asylum and deportation cases may get the headlines, but the field of immigration law is broad, including the impact on families, employment, and the needs of American businesses. And the added twist is that while attorneys handle these cases and study the laws, often the earliest hearings are held before a non-lawyer, saddling attorneys with an extra emphasis on clear communication. The Immigration and Nationality Act provides a lot of freedom to administrators making immigration-related decisions, and policies can vary from federal administration to administration, granting the U.S. Attorney General wide latitude. Attorneys litigating immigration cases are constantly challenged to keep up with the latest policies. Often, the old rules don't apply.  Hear how an immigration attorney is navigating shifting policies and working to serve clients. As Menard says, “We've got to work harder.” Plus, a quick tip from corporate attorney Lauren Williams on “keeping your poker face” in court. “Your face is an important part of your advocacy because everyone is watching it … Stay composed.” Have a question, comment, or suggestion for an upcoming episode?

Laughter and joy have always been central to the Black experience.The '90s especially were a golden era for Black comedy. But it didn't just start then — there were others that paved the way for shows like Living Color, Martin, and A Different World.The truth is: Black comedians have always shaped culture and civic discourse in America.We sit down with broadcaster and author Geoff Bennett to talk about his new book, "Black Out Loud," which explores Black comedy's history and cultural influence.Guest:Geoff Bennett, co-anchor of PBS NewsHour, author of "Black Out Loud: The Revolutionary History of Black Comedy from Vaudeville to '90s Sitcoms"

No-one knows when AI will begin having transformative impacts upon the world. People aren't sure and shouldn't be sure: there just isn't enough evidence to pin it down. But we don't need to wait for certainty. I want to explore what happens if we take our uncertainty seriously — if we act with epistemic humility. What does wise planning look like in a world of deeply uncertain AI timelines? I'll conclude that taking the uncertainty seriously has real implications for how one can contribute to making this AI transition go well. And it has even more implications for how we act together — for our portfolio of work aimed towards this end.   AI Timelines By AI timelines, I refer to how long it will be before AI has truly transformative effects on the world. People often think about this using terms such as artificial general intelligence (AGI), human level AI, transformative AI, or superintelligence. Each term is used differently by different people, making it challenging to compare their stated timelines. Indeed even an individual's own definition of their favoured term will be somewhat vague, such that even after their threshold has been crossed, they might have [...] ---Outline:(00:58) AI Timelines(04:38) Short vs Long Timelines(07:05) Broad Timelines(17:55) Implications(19:46) Hedging(20:58) A Different World(24:00) Longterm Actions(28:33) Conclusions --- First published: March 19th, 2026 Source: https://forum.effectivealtruism.org/posts/HCR2AE9it279ggiZT/broad-timelines --- Narrated by TYPE III AUDIO. ---Images from the article:Apple Podcasts and Spotify do not show images in the episode description.

In this episode, Jennifer Wallace and Elisabeth Kristof are joined in person by Dr. Lovey Bradley, NSI certified practitioner, BrainBased facilitator, and facilitator of the NSI BIPOC Affinity Group. Together they examine how racial stress and systemic oppression live in the body, how they shape nervous system patterns across generations, and what post-traumatic growth actually requires when the environment itself keeps activating survival. Dr. Lovey opens by sharing what brought her to this conversation, including a moment of messaging Elisabeth out of frustration, asking why race still has to be such a defining factor, and what it would take to start breaking those walls down. The answer they keep returning to: it starts with having the conversations. From there the episode moves into the physiology of racial stress, how chronic exposure to discrimination activates the HPA axis, elevates cortisol, suppresses progesterone, and drives the specific health disparities that show up disproportionately in melanated bodies, including fibroids, endometriosis, heart disease, hypertension, and chronic pain. Dr. Lovey names what she sees in the women she works with and connects those physical realities directly to suppressed expression, ancestral stress load, and the specific demands placed on bodies that have never had the systemic safety to soften. Elisabeth grounds the conversation in current research including the work of Resmaa Menakem on embodied racial trauma and Tema Okun's writing on white supremacy culture, which she connects directly to nervous system dysregulation rather than personality or ideology. The episode also traces how cultural conditioning normalizes threat-based behaviors like urgency, perfectionism, and emotional repression as efficiency or success, and what that means for everyone living inside those systems. Dr. Lovey also shares the story of how she accidentally created a healing community for melanated women after a single post went viral in a Facebook group, and what the response revealed about the collective hunger for real, unperformed connection. Topics Covered How racism functions as a chronic threat signal that reshapes the nervous system, not just belief or behavior What the HPA axis, cortisol, and progesterone have to do with racial stress and women's health outcomes How suppressed expression contributes to physical disease in melanated bodies What Resmaa Menakem's framework adds to neuro somatic approaches to racialized trauma Why white supremacy culture traits like urgency and perfectionism map directly onto chronic stress behaviors How the urgency to fix or regulate can itself become a form of bypassing in healing spaces What post-traumatic growth looks like at a collective level, not just an individual one Why witnessing state violence on social media is a genuine nervous system stressor, even for those not directly targeted How Dr. Levy's community for melanated women came to life and what it is building toward Chapter Markers 0:00 - Why This Conversation Had to Happen 01:57 - Welcome: Racial Trauma, the Nervous System, and Post-Traumatic Growth 07:25 - What Racial Stress Looks Like in the Body, for White and Melanated Bodies 10:44 - Post-Traumatic Growth at the Collective Level: What It Actually Requires 15:35 - The Danger of Regulating Out of Activation Before the Cycle Completes 18:09 - The Neuroscience: HPA Axis, Allostatic Load, and Chronic Racial Threat 24:27 - How Racial Stress Shows Up in Hormones, Cycles, and Women's Health 29:25 - Resmaa Menakem, White Supremacy Culture, and the Nervous System 38:42 - Dr. Levy's Community for Melanated Women and What It Is Building 41:35 - Witnessing Violence at Scale: What It Does to All Nervous Systems 49:11 - What This Work Has Made Possible: Dr. Levy on Choosing to Create a Different World 51:59 - Closing Reflection: What Post-Traumatic Growth Requires of Us Collectively Ways to Engage with Neurosomatics: Neurosomatic Intelligence is now enrolling : https://neurosomaticintelligence.com/nsi-certification Join us for a two week trial of neurosomatic practices at rewiretrial.com Free BrainBased neurosomatic workshop for entrepreneurs at rewirecapacity.com Sacred Synapse: an educational YouTube channel founded by Jennifer Wallace that explores nervous system regulation, applied neuroscience, consciousness, and psychedelic preparation and integration through Neurosomatic Intelligence.  Wayfinder Journal: Track nervous system patterns and support preparation and integration through Neurosomatic Intelligence.

Black history month has come to an end, and I feel there has been enough talk, about this ‘A Different World' reboot. I felt compelled to only discuss a reboot, or spinoff, if you would say, that did the original much justice. It didn't mimic, but just extended a creative perspective of the next life of the original. Bel Air may have ended the series in December, but the legacy it created is one I have to discuss, before we all judge the validity of our cult classic LOL. So tap in…let's get real!
