We stand in gratitude to Bruce Vilanch for Peak Hollywood's most treasured and iconic entertainment history moments. Bruce is an EGOT Award Show Writer and he's penned warehouses and server farms full of TV Variety shows and specials with lingering legacies. As infamous Youtube gems were mined, during lockdown, by intrepid Millennial podcasters, Bruce bravely opened wounds to spill toxic details.Yes, we are talking Star Wars Holiday & Paul Lynde Halloween Specials. The hot tea is on tap in Bruce's new book, It Seemed Like A Bad Idea At The Time.As a child, Bruce was not just your garden variety funny fat kid. His mother recognized his unique potential and submitted young Bruce as a Lane Bryant Charming Chub print model.  His journalism career took off at summer camp where Bruce successfully avoided outdoor activities by writing a popular and dishy camp newspaper. During college he went pro as a cub reporter for The Chicago Tribune, watching the films Gene Siskel elected to skip. A review of Bette Midler's cabaret show led to a collaborative lifelong friendship.The pattern has continued with Whoopi Goldberg, Billy Crystal, Dolly Parton and beyond. Bruce's comedic charms are so potent, he can take stinkers like Can't Stop The Music and Ice Pirates (featuring Bruce as a court jesting body-less head) and  churn hilarity. Wherever the comedy leaned towards tragedy, Bruce mined the gold that is his new book.Bruce also tells us how Donny Osmond's pull with Mormon elders got a Utah affiliate to broadcast Bette Midler's HBO special. Bruce then boldly addresses the Jo Koy Golden Globes fiasco. He imparts the famous legend of Beethoven (the dog's) Oscar movement, and tells of his daring journey in search of a look at Milton Berle's alleged equipment.But, Bruce's glories will not be outshined by his duds because we are ringing in a round of IMDB Roulette in which we celebrate: Ray Charles, Dolly Parton Elizabeth Taylor and The Constitution! Plus, Bruce hints at an upcoming special with Whoopi Goldberg!In recommendations --Weezy: Shiny Happy People: A Teenage Holy War on PrimeFritz: The Documentary, Billy Joel: And So It Goes on HBO MaxPath Points of Interest:It Seemed Like A Bad Idea At The Time: The Worst TV Shows In History And Other Things I Wrote by Bruce VilanchBruce Vilanch on WikipediaBruce Vilanch on IMDBBruce Vilanch on FacebookWe Got Bruce - Fan SiteStar Wars Holiday SpecialPaul Lynde Halloween SpecialBrady Bunch Variety Hour - First EpisodeShiny Happy People - Season 2 - Teenage Holy WarBilly Joel And So It GoesMedia PathMedia Path on FacebookMedia Path on InstagramMedia Path on XMedia Path on Bluesky

Caroline has created a bodyguard collection featuring books across subgenres. The Big Easy is a movie with Dennis Quaid (he's crazy now) and Ellen Barkin where he is a cop who uncovers corruption on the force.

This week, we're revisiting a favorite – our conversation with former US Labor Secretary Robert Reich, who just released “Coming Up Short,” a memoir that doubles as a national reckoning. The title is a nod to his height — just under 5 feet — but also to a country that, he argues, has fallen short of its ideals. He offers a blueprint for how to find its way back. In this episode, Bob reflects on the moments — and music — that shaped his politics: being bullied as a child, narrowly avoiding the Vietnam draft, and his love for Dolly Parton's “9 to 5.” Here are his songs.

With a new legal thriller on the horizon, we're revisiting James Patterson's 2024 interview about #1 Lawyer. The bestselling author shares how he builds courtroom suspense and what makes a legal story truly gripping. —-- James Patterson has written bestsellers in many genres. But as he tells the ABA Journal's Lee Rawles in this episode of The Modern Law Library, he has always been fascinated by legal thrillers, courtroom dramas and crime novels. He even considered becoming a lawyer, before his literary career took off. In his newest release, The #1 Lawyer, James Patterson partnered with co-author Nancy Allen to tell the story of Stafford Lee Penney, a criminal defense attorney in Biloxi, Mississippi, who's never lost a case. But after handing a high-profile murder trial involving the son of a mobster, Penney finds himself on the other side of the bench as a defendant himself, charged with murdering his own wife. Patterson has written and co-written more than 300 books, including bestselling series like Alex Cross, Women's Murder Club and Maximum Ride. He had some writing tips for attorneys, particularly on how to work collaboratively. As Patterson tells listeners in the podcast, he is open about working with other writers on many of his books, and he finds tools like outlining absolutely essential. He also shares with Rawles how he thinks co-writers should handle interpersonal communication while working together. Patterson says one of the major benefits of working with co-authors is pulling from their experiences to make his books more accurate and true to life. When he wrote The President is Missing with Bill Clinton, the former president could tell Patterson the inside details of how a Secret Service detail worked. When he wrote Run, Rose, Run with Dolly Parton, she walked him through the production cycle for a song. Allen, who conducted more than 30 jury trials as a prosecutor in Missouri and taught law for 15 years at Missouri State University, contributed her firsthand courtroom experience to The #1 Lawyer. Patterson says they worked to make everything as accurate as possible—while still allowing for a good story. It's the pair's second book together, following a previous standalone novel, Juror #3. In this episode of The Modern Law Library, Patterson shares some of his favorite law-related pop culture picks; news about new and ongoing projects; and describes a very special birthday event with Dolly Parton. He also discusses how his children's series Maximum Ride got caught up in Florida book bans in 2023. For fans of Patterson's breakout success, the Alex Cross series launched in 1993 with Along Came a Spider, the author shares updates about what's next for the intrepid detective—including details about the upcoming Amazon Prime TV series Cross, starring Aldis Hodge.

Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Dolly Parton has been making headlines once again, and even at 79, her influence feels as vibrant and omnipresent as ever. The biggest recent story is her highly anticipated return to Las Vegas, with a six-show residency at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace in December 2025, marking her first extended Vegas run in over three decades. According to AOL, Dolly expressed palpable excitement, promising a hit-laden spectacle and offering up special VIP experiences for superfans, including photo ops and exclusive merchandise. She confirmed the residency through both press releases and a characteristically sparkly Instagram post, sending her signature rhinestone-laced message right to followers' feeds.In the arena of live performance, Dolly remains unstoppable. On July 30, Right Angle Entertainment and Paul T. Couch announced the national tour of Dolly Parton's Smoky Mountain Christmas Carol will kick off November 15 in Owensboro, Kentucky before playing more than 20 cities. Featuring new songs and her distinct Appalachian aesthetic, the musical reimagines Dickens' Ebenezer Scrooge as a Depression-era mining magnate in Tennessee—an idea that could further cement Parton's role as an ambassador for Smoky Mountain culture. Dolly herself chimed in, saying she “poured her heart into the music” and hopes families across America will feel the love, laughter, and mountain magic packed into every scene, as reported by the RiverPark Center.Dolly's presence on social media—a combination of lavish portraits and uplifting platitudes—has created a strangely emotional undercurrent among fans. On July 28, Parade and HELLO! Magazine note, Dolly's team posted a glamour shot with an inspirational caption, but fans, still reeling from the March loss of her husband Carl Dean, panicked in the comments, fearing the worst. The last few months have rendered every new Parton post a moment of both relief and trepidation.Touching tributes also remain at the forefront. Just days ago, Dolly posted a poignant message on Instagram thanking fans for their heartfelt condolences after Carl Dean's death, described lovingly as “the star of my life story.” The ballad she released in his memory—If You Hadn't Been There—offered a rare, vulnerable glimpse into her personal grief and creative pause. She's acknowledged publicly that her songwriting has slowed, explaining on the Khloé in Wonderland podcast that the emotional toll has left her “just putting it all on hold,” but she hopes to return to it when she's able.Finally, nostalgia continues to fuel her connection with fans. A throwback post of “Coat of Many Colors” went viral, sparking a fresh wave of emotion for this song's core message: resilience, humility, and pride in one's roots. From glittering strip lights in Vegas to heartfelt tributes and every rhinestone in between, Dolly persists in making news—proving that, even through loss, her legacy's only growing.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Zac Brown sat down with Billboard's Behind the Setlist podcast to talk about two major projects that will debut on Dec. 5: a new album, Love & Fear, and a residency at the unparalleled, state-of-the-art Sphere venue in Las Vegas. "The last three or four years, I've been wanting to create a spectacle," said Brown, a three-time Grammy winner who broke into the mainstream in 2008 with the song "Chicken Fried" from the 5x platinum album The Foundation. When Brown took a tour of Sphere during its construction, he knew that was the place to create a production that could help put his band in the same category as such icons as The Grateful Dead, The Rolling Stones and The Eagles. Zac also talks about his collaboration with Dolly Parton and Snoop Dogg, what he learned from Jimmy Buffett and his reflections on the hard work and challenges that led him to a successful career.

Great duets have surfaced throughout the history of popular music, evoking a magic that one voice simply can't convey by itself. Duets between Bruno Mars and Rose ("APT.") as well as Kendrick Lamar and SZA ("Luther") have commanded the top of the charts in the past year, and you'll turn up other smash duets no matter how far you go back in time - Lil Nas X and Billy Ray Cyrus (2019), Lady Gaga and Beyonce (2009), Nelly Furtado and Timbaland (2009), Brandy and Monica (1998), Michael and Janet Jackson (1995) ... Keep going and you'll find everything from Tom Petty and Stevie Nicks to Dolly Parton and Kenny Rogers to Elton John and Kiki Dee - even Frank and Tina Sinatra. This week the hosts of "How We Heard It" explore their favorite duets - by both the dream teams and the unlikely duos - and why they hit so well. And since these music vets can't resist throwing a dig now and then, they also look at the duets that underperformed and even some that flat out bombed. Not ever pairing is a match, you know.

Send us a textMeet MacKenzie Lee, a Boston-based singer-songwriter who's crafting a unique musical identity she calls "dark pop." Stepping into our studio with the confidence of someone who's found her authentic voice, Mackenzie shares the winding path that led her from childhood singing to college acapella performances and finally to her current work with Red 13 Records.What makes MacKenzie's approach fascinating is her refusal to be boxed into conventional genres. Drawing inspiration from artists like Billie Eilish and Lana Del Rey, she's equally influenced by comedic musicians such as Bo Burnham and The Lonely Island—creative minds who blend impressive musical ability with clever, thought-provoking content. This unexpected combination hints at an artist determined to create music that's both emotionally resonant and intellectually engaging.The conversation takes us through Mackenzie's formative experiences, including how her acapella background trained her ear to deconstruct songs into their component parts. "You really learn to appreciate every single piece that goes into a song," she explains, describing how this shapes both her listening habits and creative process today. We also discover the emotional significance behind the grand piano visible during our interview—a treasured inheritance from her grandmother, the only other musician in her family.After discussing Mackenzie's debut single "Bad Taste on Love" and her upcoming release "The Ghost of Us," we shift to the latest country music news, covering artists like Chris Stapleton and Miranda Lambert supporting Texas flood victims. The episode culminates in a spirited debate about the greatest vocal collaborations of all time, with listeners passionately defending their favorites from Kenny Rogers and Dolly Parton to modern pairings like Jason Aldean and Carrie Underwood.LinksJay Franze: https://JayFranze.comVirtually You: https://www.virtuallyyouva.com/ Support the show

Why Clarity, Not Confidence, Is the Key to Your Next Level   This week on She Talks Business, I'm joined by the extraordinary Nick Nanton—someone who's built a career on doing work that only he can do. Nick is a 22-time Emmy Award–winning director and producer who has created more than 60 documentaries and worked with some of the most iconic names in the world—think Richard Branson, Tony Robbins, Larry King, Magic Johnson, Dolly Parton, and more. His films have streamed on Netflix, Amazon Prime, Disney+, and have even taken us into the heart of human trafficking raids in Haiti. He's also a bestselling author, gold record-earning songwriter, and host of the docuseries In Case You Didn't Know. But today's conversation isn't about celebrity. It's about clarity. We dig into the mindset behind Nick's success, the self-doubt he's faced, the comparison traps he's escaped, and how he's learned to identify and operate from what Dan Sullivan calls a “unique ability.” This concept from Dan is something we both operate our business and structure our time with this in mind.  If you've ever wondered whether you're good enough, ready enough, or "doing it right," this episode is for you. Dealing With Imposter Syndrome At The Top Yes, even people with 22 Emmys have moments where they wonder if they belong. Nick shares how imposter syndrome has followed him into rooms filled with billionaires and why reframing those moments has been essential to his growth. You'll hear how that shift can quiet the noise and help you step fully into your own potential. Tune Out The Comparison Gene We all do it—scrolling, spiraling, stacking ourselves up against someone else's highlight reel. This part of the conversation is a refreshing reminder that comparison isn't just unproductive, it's often a complete illusion. If you've been feeling behind, this will help you realign and reset. Tune Into Your Unique Ability What are you world-class at? Nick and I talk about the Dan Sullivan concept of “unique ability”—the zone where your passion, skill, and natural genius collide—and how it takes time to tune in and prioritize it as you grow your business. Nick shares how identifying his unique ability helped him stop chasing opportunities that didn't fit, and start building a business around what only he can do.  Whether you're leading a brand, running a business, or simply trying to get clear on your next step, this episode is a reminder that you already have everything you need. You don't have to be everything to everyone. You just have to know what's uniquely yours and be brave enough to start with what you know, your experience, and then build from there.   What's In This Episode Moving beyond celebrity to focus on excellence and skills Approach to interviews: creating space for vulnerability and authentic conversations  Creating valuable, enjoyable experiences for clients and collaborators  The importance of sharing foundational knowledge and starting “at the beginning” Common hangups in personal branding (impostor syndrome, undervaluing personal gifts) Navigating creative industries: knowing your place and supplementing with experts The importance of self-awareness in professional growth Opportunities and challenges of integrating AI in filmmaking, songwriting, and business   What To Do Next Visit lisalarter.com/e187 for all resources from this episode.

Dolly Parton Can Improve Your Teamwork... - Mike CohnWould you like to get a check from Dolly Parton for $500? I would.In an effort to reduce the number of students who dropped out of high school in her home county, she promised all 7th and 8th grade students she would give them each $500 if they graduated from high school.She added a catch: They'd only receive the money if a buddy they chose also graduated.Dolly's Buddy Program reduced high school dropouts from 35% to 6%.She clearly understood the importance of accountability to one another: a student contemplating dropping out may not when they factor in the financial impact on their buddy.I wish Dolly Parton would make a similar offer to teams. The best teams understand that they succeed (or fail) together.No one benefits when the programmers finish coding on the last day of an iteration, and leave testers no time to test.When shared accountability pervades a team, people help each other. Programmers may write more unit tests if they know testers will be challenged. Or they may execute some tests themselves.If testers are concerned that programmers may not finish, they can help by identifying earlier and sharing the edge cases that programmers may overlook.There's always something you can do to help your coworkers. Beyond helping out in a pinch, here are some practices that help a team succeed together: Small backlog items that flow through the process more smoothlySmall, frequent handoffs to reduce waitingClose collaboration to improve communicationOverlapping work to avoid leaving too much testing until the endDaily scrum meetings to encourage accountability to one anotherFostering an attitude that everyone succeeds together may not get you a $500 check from Dolly Parton, but it will help you succeed with agile.How to connect with AgileDad:- [website] https://www.agiledad.com/- [instagram] https://www.instagram.com/agile_coach/- [facebook] https://www.facebook.com/RealAgileDad/- [Linkedin] https://www.linkedin.com/in/leehenson/

America is turning 250. And we're throwing a yearlong celebration of the greatest country on Earth. The greatest? Yes. The greatest. We realize that's not a popular thing to say these days. Americans have a way of taking this country for granted: a Gallup poll released earlier this week shows that American pride has reached a new low. And the world at large, which is wealthier and freer than it has ever been in history thanks to American power and largesse, often resents us. We get it. As journalists, we spend most of our time finding problems and exposing them. It's what the job calls for. But if you only focus on the negatives, you get a distorted view of reality. As America hits this milestone birthday, it's worthwhile to take a moment to step back and look closely at where we actually are—and the reality of life in America today compared to other times and places. That reality is pretty spectacular. Could Thomas Jefferson and the men gathered in Philadelphia who wrote down the words that made our world—“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”—ever have imagined what their Declaration of Independence would bring? The Constitution. The end of slavery—and the defeat of Hitler. Astonishing wealth and medical breakthroughs. Silicon Valley. The most powerful military in the world. The moon landing. Hollywood. The Hoover Dam. The Statue of Liberty (a gift from France). Actual liberation (a thing we gave France). Humphrey Bogart and Tom Hanks. Josephine Baker and Beyoncé. Hot dogs. Corn dogs. American Chinese food. American Italian food. The Roosevelts and the Kennedys. The Barrymores and the Fondas. Winston Churchill (his mom was from Brooklyn). The Marshall Plan and Thurgood Marshall. Star Wars. Missile-defense shields. Baseball. Football. The military-industrial complex. Freedom of religion. UFO cults. Television. The internet. The Pill. The Pope. The automobile, the airplane, and AI. Jazz and the blues. The polio vaccine and GLP-1s, the UFC and Dolly Parton. The list goes on because it's really, truly endless. Ours is a country where you can hear 800 languages spoken in Queens, drive two hours and end up among the Amish in Pennsylvania. We are 330 million people, from California to New York Island, gathered together as one. Each of those 330 million will tell you that ours is not a perfect country. But we suspect most of them would agree that their lives would not be possible without it. So for the next 12 months, we're going to toast to our freedoms on the page, on this podcast and in real life. And we're doing it the Free Press way: by delving into all of it—the bad and the good and the great, the strange and the wonderful and the wild. And today—on America's 249th birthday—we're kicking off this yearlong event with none other than Akhil Reed Amar. Akhil has a unique understanding of this country—and our Constitution. Akhil is a Democrat who testified on behalf of Brett Kavanaugh, is a member of The Federalist Society, who is pro-choice but also anti-Roe—and these seeming contradictions make him perfectly suited to answer questions about the political and legal polarization we find ourselves in today. Akhil is a constitutional law professor at Yale and the author of the brilliant book The Words That Made Us: America's Constitutional Conversation, 1760–1840. He also hosts the podcast Amarica's Constitution, and you might recognize his name from his work in The Atlantic. I ask him about the unique history that created our founding document, the state of the country, our political polarization, the American legal system, and what this country means to him.
