Podcasts about dolls

Our beloved listeners and wayward souls, we write to you from the glittery halls of memory, where two hundred and fifty episodes now flutter like sequined gowns on a brightly-lit stage of times past. Our hearts are heavy with laughter, saturated with love, and perfumed by a joyous feeling so thick you could spread it like Marmite on toast. Each episode was a bejeweled hour of gossip and grace, where movie reviews unfurled like velvet curtains in a grand cinema of the mind, and our voices learned, again and again, how to harmonize bite with tenderness, snark with sincerity, and spectacle with soul. Yet betwixt the comedy, there were seasons of rain tapping their impatient nails against the chalkboard of our lives, a recurring guest star who refused to be written out, summoning with it an evil chorus of black mold. Through spores silently multiplying, dehumidifiers humming like a Viennese choir, and the sound of us constantly googling mold remediation companies in the greater Los Angeles area, we loved, we laughed, and we proved that fun can be had regardless of the state of one's drywall and keepsakes. Let these past 250 episodes serve as weathered love letters to you all, damp at the edges but radiant at the center; forever echoing with the sound of two queens dancing in the rain like everyone is watching. Thanks for the past 250, and we can't wait for the next 250.

In today's video, I'm diving into the iconic Queen Amidala dolls released by Hasbro in 1999, inspired by Star Wars: The Phantom Menace. From the unforgettable red throne gown to the elaborate headdresses, embroidery, and regal details, these dolls are some of the most stunning — and underrated — movie dolls of the late 90s.I break down:✨ Which Queen Amidala dolls were released✨ Why these dolls stood out from other Star Wars figures at the time✨ How Hasbro approached fashion, sculpting, and deluxe packaging✨ Why Padmé/Amidala dolls disappeared so quickly✨ And why collectors still hunt these dolls down todayThese dolls were a rare moment when Star Wars met high fashion, and they remain some of the most visually striking sci-fi dolls ever produced. Whether you're a lifelong Star Wars fan, a doll collector, or just love iconic 90s toy history, this deep dive is for you.Follow me on Instagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@britneyspearscustomdolls⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@iconicdollcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ or on YOUTUBE: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@Iconicdollcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠

Rachel and Dale kick off the holiday stretch the way they do best, by spiraling through the strange headlines and the everyday moments that somehow say a lot about people. They start with the story of a woman who faked an entire pregnancy with a reborn doll, then bounce through a service that roasts your boss for you, a revenge spray paint moment that is honestly unforgettable, and why people feel extra raw around the holidays. The conversation turns to how brazen shoplifting has gotten and how retail return schemes actually work, plus the sticker shock of Disney tickets versus flying to Tokyo. Dale also shares a restaurant story that grossed him out and left him stuck on one question, what else was in the food. They wrap with a Reddit rabbit hole recommendation, a little pay it forward energy, and the kind of end of year delirium that only hits when you have truly been through it.Episode Sponsor:Presented by 1-800 Call Lee — South Florida's trusted personal injury team.

For our first episode of 2026, we talked the New York Dolls and their eponymous 1973 debut with special guest Jerid O'Connell. As a Connecticut teen sneaking into New York City to see the Dolls play places like Club 82 and Max's Kansas City, Jerid - who eventually played drums in NYC band Rousers - was instantly smitten by their raw, high energy sound/delivery and never let go.

Robots and automata have been with humans in one form or another for thousands of years. From ancient Egyptian illusionary statutes to Ancient Greek steam or air powered birds, even programmable carts and theatrical figures, up to near-modern mechanisms like the Digesting Duck in 1739 France, the 1770 Austrian chess robot, the 1773 Silver Swan in England, the 1795 Tipu's Tiger of India and the many robots of far east Asia. As early as the 8th century BC, the Chinese were using wooden mechanisms for burial objects, centuries before the Greek myth of a giant mechanical Talos. Long before European machines that are hardly remembered today, the Japanese had mechanical dolls called Nashiki karakul, which served tea and entertained every level of Edo society. None of this history is hidden, and part of the problem in deciphering what it means is our definition of words like robot, machine, giant, myth etc. However, as with technology today where glorified search engines are believed to be sentient intelligence, there were probably many in the ancient world who saw these devices as supernatural. The vast majority probably saw them for what they were though - entertainment. Although the value in such mechanisms has largely been lost today, or simply evolved or transitioned into something more contemporary, our modern use of similar technologies will likely be looked at by a future generation in the same way that we look back on an apparently lost part of human history. The modern popular culture, and conspiracy, perception of the past is that anything considerably advanced must be part of a lost civilization or alien, perhaps Tartarian specifically. But the printing press dates to 1440 and the cotton gin to 1793, two inventions that mechanically revolutionized the world in a way equal to modern phones, and yet few would dispute the modern-human-civilization origin of these devices.  *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

On Christmas Eve during Prohibition, a burglar named Dancing Dan drinks hot Tom and Jerrys at Good Time Charley's speakeasy with the narrator and the proprietor. Dan has been courting Miss Muriel O'Neill, a nightclub worker, despite the dangerous attention of Heine Schmitz, a violent Harlem mobster who considers her his own. As the evening wears on and the liquor flows, Dan arrives with a suspiciously heavy package, and Ooky—a down-and-out porter still wearing his Santa Claus costume from his advertising job—stumbles in and passes out. What begins as a drunken Christmas celebration becomes something more complicated when Dan gets an idea about how to impress Miss Muriel, one that mixes his criminal instincts with an unexpected impulse toward kindness. Publication: "Dancing Dan's Christmas," first published December 21, 1932 (Collier's magazine); collected in Furthermore (1938). Author: Damon Runyon (1880–1946), American journalist and short-story writer known for his Broadway underworld tales written in present-tense slang. His stories inspired the musical Guys and Dolls.

Madeline, Emilio, and Julian wrap up their cycle of Unorthodox Holiday Movies with a film befitting of a Christmas Eve episode - Sean Baker's “Tangerine”, released in 2015. Joining Emilio as a first-time-watcher is Edo Choi, Film Programmer at the beloved NYC independent theater, Metrograph. The group reflects on the way this film catapulted Sean Baker to prominence in the cinematic world, and discusses the unique style that comes through via Baker's use of iPhone cameras. They also take time to appreciate the variety of performances in this film, from newcomers to Baker regulars to social media stars. And, of course, they attempt to answer the question on everyone's minds: why is this film titled “Tangerine”?**Programming note: This conversation was recorded approximately ten days before the news of James Ransone's passing. We offer our heartfelt condolences to his family and loved ones during this time.If you enjoy our podcast, please rate and review us on your podcast platform of choice.

SEASON 4 FINALE!For the final episode of the year, I'm looking back at some of the most talked-about doll releases of 2025 — the good, the bad, and the truly baffling.

Dominic is joined again by the inimitable Dr. Lydia Craig where they dive into Dickens' third Christmas Book, with readings from the award-winning actress Penelope RawlinsThe Cricket On The Hearth - published 180 years ago this year - explodes into life from the very start and hardly pauses for breath until the very end. Its unrelenting pace sweeps its characters along whether they be human, animal, insect or household object … Centred around that fabled victorian fireside. Where dreams and visions appear happy in the glowing light but depressed in the shadows, there sits John Peerybingle with his pipe. His occupation as a carrier brings one of the many Christmassy elements to the book, in his daily round of delivering parcels out in the raw Winter weather. His wife Dot - as in the brightest little star that ever shone - is a young, energetic woman, who races about their home.Another Christmassy element in this story is the occupation of Toy-making. Enter Caleb Plummer and his blind daughter Bertha who make Dolls for the nasty, crab-faced Tackleton.And tearing in and out is the excited dog, Boxer seen as a spec in the distance one moment, then suddenly up close with his wet nose pressed into your face …Last but not least, is the magical Cricket ...HAPPY CHRISTMAS !!!Intro Music and Additional SFX provided under license by Epidemic Sound Support the showIf you'd like to make a donation to support the costs of producing this series you can buy 'coffees' right here https://www.buymeacoffee.com/dominicgerrardThank you so much!Host: Dominic GerrardSeries Artwork: Léna GibertOriginal Music: Dominic GerrardThank you for listening!

In my first attempt at an all-video podcast, I reprise my season-one episode on Sharon Tate.  I dive into her impact on American culture, the landscape for female crime victims, and her enduring legacy as the most beautiful woman who ever lived.  I discuss the details of her most iconic role as Jennifer North in The Valley of the Dolls and all her spectacular looks on and off screen—including her mini taffeta wedding dress. In many ways, there would not be a podcast without Sharon Tate, so I thought she would be the best person to usher in the video version.  As always, thank you for tuning into Window Dressing!

In this episode, we sit down with LifeStance therapist Victoria Benfer to explore the growing trend of reborn dolls—remarkably lifelike, artist-crafted baby dolls that have captured increasing public interest. Victoria discusses the many roles these dolls play, from offering comfort to those coping with infant loss or loneliness, to supporting connection and calm for older adults in memory care settings, to serving as a creative outlet for dedicated collectors. She also addresses the importance of maintaining healthy boundaries, noting potential risks such as emotional overdependence or blurred lines between fantasy and reality. This thoughtful conversation offers an empathetic, balanced look at the rise of reborn dolls and the complex emotional needs they can help meet.

It's been an unprecedented year in fashion. 16 designers rebooted 15 labels in September causing one of the biggest shakeups in fashion history, Labubus took over the world, and Kendrick Lamar's Celine flared jeans stirred up the discourse.Today on the show, we invited Virginia Smith, Vogue's Global Head of Fashion Network, and Laia Garcia-Furtado, Senior Fashion News Editor at Vogue Runway, to break down all the biggest moments from a massive year in fashion.“Awar closing the Chanel show was my fashion moment of the year because it encapsulated so many great things,” Smith said. “It was really something I have not witnessed very many times in my very long career of attending shows.”Another major collection was Dario Vitale's debut at Versace. Vitale was our reader's 3rd favorite designer of the year, after Blazy at Chanel and Jonathan Anderson at Dior. “Immediately I saw the show and thought, “this is how I want to dress.” said Garcia-Furtado. “As soon as the show ended, I went on The RealReal and bought a pair of Versus jeans within minutes.”Plus, tune in to hear what our editors are looking forward to in 2026.The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture.

In this episode, Julie tells Savannah about a social media post she make for "Protect the Dolls" and a comment that made her take the post down and re-evaluate what was most appropriate and most inclusive. While protecting the beautiful, young and passable "dolls" is a just cause, there are many who feel they are old, clockable "bricks" that do not fall under the same protection. Julie discusses the wisdom in the comment she received , the research she did, and the better post she created to treat ALL dolls equal.-----SAVANNAH HAUK is the author of “Living with Crossdressing: Defining a New Normal” and “Living with Crossdressing: Discovering your True Identity“. While both focus on the male-to-female (mtf) crossdresser, “Defining a New Normal” delves into crossdressing and relationships and “Discovering Your True Identity” looks at the individual crossdressing journey. Her latest achievements are two TEDx Talks, one entitled "Demystifying the Crossdressing Experience" and the other "13 Milliseconds: First Impressions of Gender Expression". Savannah is a male-to-female dual-gender crossdresser who is visible in the Upstate of South Carolina, active in local groups and advocating as a public speaker at LGBTQ+ conferences and workshops across the United States. At the moment, Savannah is working on more books, blogs, and projects focused on letting every crossdresser–young and mature–find their own confidence, expression, identity and voice.IG @savannahhauk | FB @savannahhauk | FB @livingwithcrossdressing | web @livingwithcrossdressing.com------JULIE RUBENSTEIN is a dedicated ally to transgender community and the certified image consultant and co-owner of Fox and Hanger.

A fairy tale? DOLLS (1987) was the third released feature film directed by Stuart Gordon but the second one shot. Does it measure up to his Lovecraft adaptations? Well, I am joined by John Hudson and Troy Guinn to compare notes on this deviation from the energetic gorefests we had come to expect from Mr. Gordon. We have much to say even though Troy is dialing in from an undisclosed location. What is his day job, anyway?   We examine the genesis of the project and relate numerous behind the scenes tales from the director and the scriptwriter Ed Naha. John tells us of his longtime appreciation of Naha with a story from his childhood. We talk about the various fairy tale stereotypes that the film's characters fall into and are amused by all the anti-ques. We discuss the excellent stop-motion special effects and the skill on display technically throughout the movie. I gush about the cinematography and point out some lovely visual moments. And we are all thrilled to have Mr. Sardonicus show up as a (relatively) good guy and use that film's Punishment Poll as a guide for judging this movie. We have no shame.   If you have any comments about Stuart Gordon movies or our plans to talk about which ones to cover thebloodypit@gmail.com is the address to send them. Thanks for listening!

From the outside, it was the definition of normal: a comfortable family home on a quiet street where kids rode bikes and neighbors waved across manicured lawns. But inside, from the moment she could walk the hallway alone, she knew this house was not like the others. It didn't just creak or settle. It watched. Her first memory isn't of a nightmare — it's of a board game playing itself. At five years old, she sat on her bed and watched a Monopoly piece slide across the board, dice roll, money taken… all by a player she couldn't see. As she grew, the house evolved with her. Scratching inside the walls. A wardrobe that shook every night. Dolls that mysteriously moved from their shelves to the floor by morning. Then came the out-of-body moment: going downstairs to speak to her father… only to find herself already asleep in bed. Years later, puzzle books completed in someone else's handwriting, a TV remote thrown out a closed bathroom window, a scream only she heard, and a child's voice whispering “Hello” in the dark. When her no-nonsense mother finally heard that same voice at 3 a.m., followed by a soft, eerie laugh, denial died. This wasn't pipes. This wasn't imagination. This was something intelligent. Patient. Personal. And one night, when the laughter stopped and the presence leaned in close to her ear, it finally spoke the words that changed everything: “I see you.” #ghoststories #realghoststories #paranormal #hauntedhouse #truehaunting #creepystories #childspirit #poltergeist #shadowpeople #paranormalpodcast #scarytales #supernatural Love real ghost stories?

Lara and Carey find themselves back on the scorched sands of Utah for another chapter in the Book of Salty Queens. First, they discuss the cheese wheel making a splash in Hollywood, which foods Lara and Carey would sign if they were agents, a harrowing new organic supermarket in Tribeca, Lara's theoretical tenure as a chic grocer, Trump calling a reporter a “piggy,” and more. On RHOSLC, the ladies (minus Meredith and Baby Girl Lisa) assemble at Wild Rose's for a surprise potluck to cheer up Britani. From high body count hair to a Build-A-Bear workshop complete with inspirational recordings for Brit, the women try to pull her out of her post-Meredith and Lisa tag team depression. Bronwyn provides an update on her mini-separation from Todd as Wild Rose continues to provide Entity with souls. Lisa and John Barlow's tense lunch exposes more bumps in their marriage and Daddy John's shadow side. Britani and Jared pause their 30-day fast for a dramatic walk by a serial killer creek as Jared continues to break Britani's brain. Then, Mary gathers all the women (minus Britani) at her church to watch her deliver her first fiery sermon in years, uniting them in the divine and preparing them for the battle to come.

It began with a fall. 1958, on a quiet island in Hawaii, a five-year-old boy is thrown from a moving car, his skull fractured, his tiny body barely holding on. But the real story begins after he wakes. In the children's ward of Shingle's Hospital, the nights are long and full of whispers. Toys leap from beds. Dolls twitch across the floor. One night, he watches as a small figure—translucent, glowing faintly—tries to cradle a fallen doll, only to realize her hands pass through it. Then she looks up, sees him, and smiles. Soon, there are eight of them—boys and girls between five and ten, playing silently among the living. They can't speak, but they can show him things: images, gestures, emotions. Until the day he discovers the hospital lab… and the rows of glass jars holding eight small fetuses. Were these their bodies? Were the souls of the unborn trapped in that ward, reaching for the toys they never got to hold? #RealGhostStories #HauntedHospital #GhostChildren #TrueGhostStory #ParanormalEncounter #HawaiiHaunting #Supernatural #CreepyTales #Afterlife #SpiritWorld #GhostlyEncounters #UnbornSouls Love real ghost stories?
