Podcasts about Downton Abbey

Stassi is back with bestie Taylor Strecker, fresh from the Downton Abbey premiere in New York (yes, she left on Messer's 2nd birthday and Taylor calls her out). The premiere was absolutely amazing, and she's still a little drunk from the after-party of her period-piece dreams—but that doesn't stop the two from diving into something even juicier: they share the same therapist. Stassi admits she's not sold on therapy, preferring “de-lu-lu land” over digging up childhood drama, while Taylor explains why it's helped her relationships. Their honest, hilarious back-and-forth proves why they're an iconic duo. And in true Stassi fashion, things end with one last pop-culture bombshell: she's officially over Meghan Markle… and finally hit unfollow.Thanks for supporting our sponsors:Hiya: Receive 50% off your first order.

This episode pulls back the curtain on the craftsmanship that made Downton Abbey a fully realized universe. Costume designer Anna Robbins discusses the evolution of style from Edwardian formality to 1930s glamour, while Production Designer Donal Woods explains how Highclere Castle and meticulously built sets created both grandeur and intimacy. Cast members reflect on how these details deepened their performances, grounding their characters in a believable world. Together, these creative elements demonstrate why Downton's immersive atmosphere became as iconic as the Crawleys themselves.Experience Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale in theaters on September 12th.Get tickets at DowntonAbbey.com.See Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale + one more film at AMC Theatres to start earning rewards.

As the new feature film Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale opens worldwide, we see for the final time the elegant, glamorous and always dramatic world of Lord and Lady Grantham and their family.  We also have a chance to look back at the evolving fashion and hairstyles of Downton's characters as they have evolved from the series debut set in 1912 up to this final film set in 1930.  Joining The Gilded Gentleman table to trace this fashion history is listener favorite Dr. Elizabeth L. Block, who takes us from the high Edwardian style we saw with Violet, the Dowager Countess, to the body hugging slinky styles of Coco Chanel we see on Lady Mary in this latest film. We also explore the flapper look, the influence of war years on fashion and how the great cultural forces such as the Ballets Russes all influence the styles of the Crawley sisters. And we even take a look downstairs and talk about how styles for domestic staff were shifting as well. This episode was produced and edited by Kieran Gannon.

It's taken six seasons, 52 episodes and two films - but this week the third film, Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale, hits cinemas and spells the final chapter for the worldwide phenomenon. Ahead of the release, three long time cast members, Laura Carmichael, Michelle Dockery and Joanne Froggatt discussed what the end of the series meant to them. "It's for the fans, it's a beautiful tribute to Maggie - but it really is for the fans out there. And that just felt so good to give that one last story to everybody out there."

Butlers, it seems, know everything. They are privy to the goings-on above and below stairs, and, of course, they keep it  - mostly  - to themselves. Agnes van Rhijn's very British butler Bannister has become a show favorite as he manages the downstairs staff and to a certain degree life above stairs as well. Simon Jones, who plays the role of Bannister, is a veteran actor with an astonishingly impressive list of credits from stage, film and television. Jones has played roles in such productions as The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, Brideshead Revisited and Downton Abbey.  His past co-stars include Sir Laurence Olivier, Dame Maggie Smith, Angela Lansbury, Lauren Bacall, among so many others.In this special episode, Simon Jones sits with Carl to talk about those roles, and of course that of Bannister on The Gilded Age.  This interview first ran in December of 2023.

Send us a textThe giggles continue! In Part Two of our Downton Abbey Enneagram throwback, my sister Annaliese and I dive deeper into the beloved characters, with fresh laughter, slightly misguided confidence, and a few surprising insights that still ring true today.Though this conversation was recorded years ago (before any of the Downton movies had premiered), it's fascinating to see how each character's arc reflects the same storylines we live: moments of victimhood, seasons of villainy, the courage to rise as heroes, and the wisdom to guide others eventually.So grab another scone, settle in, and enjoy the second half of this Enneagram stroll through the Abbey. Whether at Downton or in our everyday lives, the story is always about transformation and the invitation to live wholeheartedly.Looking for some of the podcast episodes we mentioned? Enneagram in the ClassroomEnneagram and Little WomenEnneagram and Anne of Green GablesEnneagram and Dan in Real LifeLooking for another Downton Abbey-style show?

This week, Andrew shows up for a minute before his night-night time, and then leaves Kevin and Lauren to fend for themselves to discuss Alien: Earth, Caught Stealing, Eenie Meanie, Oh, Hi!, Night Always Comes, The Gilded Age, and Peacemaker. Since Andrew is on borrowed time this week, he and Kevin quickly break down the latest episode of Alien: Earth. I have a feeling this will be a theme over the next few weeks... As with the previous episodes, this one does not disappoint. We are digging into these new characters and discovering some wild new species and skills that are making this show a must watch so far. After tucking Andrew in and singing him a lullaby, the show moves on with Lauren discussing her sneak peak of Caught Stealing. This one stars Austin Butler, Zoe Kravitz, and a handful of other big names. It's a solid action dramedy that seems to be exactly what the previews led us to believe - this is Darren Aronofsky channeling Guy Ritchie and it sounds like it worked pretty well. Next up, Kevin talks about the new Samara Weaving film, Eenie Meanie. This film is somehow both good and bad, corny and dramatic, and fun and sad. Trailers will definitely give shades of Gone in 60 Seconds or Baby Driver, and that's not entirely wrong, but at some point, the film siwtches up on you and tries to give to feels, which is arguably when it becomes the better film. Weaving is really solid, so if there's no other reason to watch, check her performance out. Heading out to the theater, Lauren discusses the film Oh, Hi! starring Molly Gordon and Logan Lerman. Imagine a genderswapped Gerlad's Game, but also a comedy.. If it sounds insane, well, it is a little. But with that being said, it is a lot of fun, if not chaotic. The crux of the story is that, when a woman finds out her latest love is a player, she puts him in a position where he has no choice but to face his decisions. Yeah, it's nuts, but it's fun! In an effort to kill that light mood, Kevin talks about the emotional suckage that is, Night Always Comes. It stars rising actress Vanessa Kirby as a down on her luck woman who needs to get $25,000 in a single night to save her family. In most films, this would turn into a fun caper, but here we spiral with this woman, diving deeper and deeper into her painful past. While Kirby is fantastic in the part, the film lacks any semblance of joy and ends with an odd decision, sure to leave you wishing you'd done almost anyting else with your time. As we power towards the end of the episode, Lauren brings joy back to our lives. She start watching, and quickly finished, The Gilded Age on HBO. It's a period piece, a la Downton Abbey, but in the US and a few decades earlier. Loosely based on the Venderbilt family, it's a story of new vs old money and all of the complications that come with high society. With standout performances from Carrie Coon, Christine Baransky, and Taisa Farmiga, this one is not to be missed. Kevin brings the show to a close with a quick review of the season 2 premiere of Peacemaker. If you watched season 1, this is more of the same, but in the best of ways. Gunn manages to retcon the DCEU in a fun way without disrespecting that universe. This season begins Peacemaker's multiversal journey into his own existential crisis. While absolutely hilarious, and expectedly raunchy, it has some wondeful heartfelt moments that are setting up some major decisions for Peacemaker to deal with throughout the season.

Are you already feeling overwhelmed—and school hasn't even started yet? In this episode of Drive Thru Moms, we talk about the pressure-packed pace of motherhood and how being overscheduled, overstimulated, and stretched thin is robbing us of peace.Inspired by the simple but powerful Downton Abbey quote, “Much cattle, much care,” we unpack how too many commitments can quietly pull us away from God's best for our family.Let's talk about:What Scripture says about being distracted and doing too muchWhy less might actually mean more peace this school yearThree practical ways to reset your calendar and your soulYour kids don't need a mom who does it all—they need a mom who's available, obedient, and at peace.

Send us a textPour a cup of tea and join me for a wholehearted stroll back to 2019, when my sister Annaliese and I first sat down to type the Crawleys and the unforgettable Downton Abbey staff through the lens of the Enneagram. With plenty of giggles, some slightly outdated storylines (remember, this was before the first movie came out!), and a love for both the Enneagram and British drama, we uncover what makes these characters so timeless.As you listen, notice how each role – Victim, Villain, Hero, and Guide – shows up not only in the Abbey but in our own lives.

Our guest today is Lord Ivar Mountbatten, a great-great-great grandson of Queen Victoria, cousin of Prince Phillip, descendant of Russian Tsars and of Pushkin, and the second son of David, the late Marquess of Milford Haven, who was Prince Philip's best man at his wedding to Princess Elizabeth in 1947. Lord Ivar tells Gyles about his complex and fascinating lineage, and he also tells him about growing up in a grand house "like Downton Abbey", surrounded by servants and with a mother who was lazy, uninterested in her children and too posh to pack her own suitcase. He talks about the death of his father when he was only 7, and about his relationship with his Great Uncle, Louis Mountbatten, who was eventually assassinated in 1979. Ivar talks about his schooldays and tells Gyles some great stories about holidaying with Queen Elizabeth II. He talks about his sexuality, about meeting and marrying his wife, and about how he eventually gained the courage to come out as gay and begin a new life with his now husband, James Coyle. And he talks about appearing on the US version of the Traitors! This is a fascinating snapshot of life in the English aristocracy, and an honest account of coming out as gay when you're a member of one of the most famous families in the world. Enjoy this.

In 2022, a show premiered on HBO that was perhaps tailor made for us. The Gilded Age was a 1880s period drama from the creators of Downton Abbey with sexual… The post e384. From Vanderbilt Glam to Oscar's Shades: The Gilded Age Deep Dive appeared first on The VoxPopcast.

Another season of The Gilded Age has ended, and the frocks are more shocking than the bullets. As episodes build to the climactic end-of-season balls, we see the power shifts fracture the old ways, inviting in bold new energy. Even divorcees and suffragists are welcome on the dance floor! Join us as we break down Episodes 5-8 of Season 3: Gladys & Bertha fight a second revolutionary war at the Dukedom's dinner table (hint: come at seven, wear the biggest tiara you own, and be prepared cut your opponent with sharp words); Peggy triumphs in dance-floor romance and in her career; and Ada takes her seat at the head of the table. Then there's that other war: Mrs Scott vs Mrs Kirkland in the dressmaker's fitting room (come at noon, try on your gorgeous gowns, and prepare to throw your sickest burns). We cheer for both young Jack (or as Agnes calls him ‘a Rockefeller in livery'), and Oscar, who movingly mourns John while growing an inspired beard. And we grumble about the men who are making a mountain out of a molehill (ahem, Railroad Daddy). BONUS: More Downton Abbey callbacks than there are diamonds around Mrs Astor's neck! So drape yourself in your jewels, sip delicately at your champagne, and enjoy the podcast! And tune in for our Downton Abbey film podcast in September! (sniff, sniff) as we say goodbye to Downton!

Adventurous and passionate” (The New Yorker) Ukrainian-born pianist Inna Faliks has established herself as one of the most communicative, and poetic artists of her generation. She has made a name for herself through commanding performances of standard piano repertoire, as well genre-bending, interdisciplinary projects, and inquisitive work with contemporary composers. This season, she gave the world premiere of Clarice Assad's “Lilith” concerto, composed for her. Ljova's “Voices” for piano and historical recording was composed for her and commissioned by the Milken Center of American Jewish Music in 2020.Faliks created a one-woman show “Polonaise-Fantasie, Story of a Pianist”, an autobiographical monologue for pianist and actress, premiered in New York's Symphony Space and performed worldwide. A committed chamber musician, she has had notable collaborations with Rachel Barton Pine, Gilbert Kalish, Ron Leonard, Fred Sherry, Ilya Kaler, Colin Carr, Wendy Warner, Clive Greensmith, and Antonio Lysy, among many others.Inna Faliks has been featured on radio and television throughout the world. She co-starred with Downton Abbey's Lesley Nicol in “Admission – One Shilling,” a play for pianist and actor based on the life of the great British pianist, Dame Myra Hess.Her CD releases, Reimagine: Beethoven and Ravel on Navona Records and The Schumann Project Volume 1, on MSR Classics, received rave reviews, and were named to several “best of 2021” lists. With her all-Beethoven CD release on MSR, WTTW called Faliks “High priestess of the piano, concert pianist of the highest order, as dramatic and subtle as a great stage actor.” Sound of Verse, was released in 2009, featuring music of Boris Pasternak, Rachmaninoff and Ravel. “Polonaise-Fantasie, Story of a Pianist” on Delos captures her autobiographical monologue-recital with short piano works from Bach to Carter.Faliks is founder and curator of Music/Words, an award-winning poetry-music series: performances in collaboration with distinguished poets.

In Weight in the Fingertips: A Musical Odyssey from Soviet Ukraine to the World Stage (Backbeat Books, 2023) Faliks provides a globe-trotting account of her upbringing as a child prodigy in the Soviet Union, the perils of immigration, and the struggle to assimilate as an American. She chronicles years of training with teachers and her steady rise in the world of classical music. With a warm and playful style, Faliks helps non-musicians understand the experience of becoming a world-renowned concert pianist. The places she grew up, the books she read, and the poems she memorized as a child all connect to her sound at the piano. The way she hears and shapes a musical phrase illuminates both classical music and elite performance. She explores how a person's humanity makes their art honest and voice unique, and how the lifelong challenge of retaining that voice is fueled by balancing the demands of musicianship and being human. Throughout, Faliks provides powerful insights into the role of music in a world of conflict, change, and hope for a better tomorrow. Learn more about your ad choices.
