Costume designer Ann Maskrey has watched The Grand Budapest Hotel five times and rewatched it the week before recording—and she's still finding things to admire. Ann, whose credits include The Duchess, the Hobbit trilogy, and the new The Magic Faraway Tree, chose Wes Anderson's 2014 film as one of her all-time favorites: a story of a legendary concierge (Ralph Fiennes) and his lobby boy (Tony Revolori) set against a fictional interwar Europe running out of time and elegance.Ann, Andy, and Pete dig into Milena Canonero's costume design and what it means to read another designer's work from a maker's perspective—someone who started as a cutter and dresser before she was ever a designer. They get into the color decisions, the departmental shorthand that makes Anderson's worlds feel airtight, and how the same principles show up in Ann's own work on The Magic Faraway Tree. Andy Nelson and Pete Wright discuss the film with Ann Maskrey on Movies We Like, a TruStory FM podcast.

Michael Usher: In the Spotlight - From Breaking News to Mushy, The Man Australia Loves

Over the Back Fence

This week Nicola and Di chatted with the award-winning journalist, Michael Usher. Michael has spent more than three decades at the centre of some of the biggest stories in Australia and around the world, and in this episode he takes us right into the thick of it. Now the chief network anchor at 7 News and host of Spotlight, Michael has covered war zones, 9/11, the Iraq War, royal weddings, the Queen's funeral, and so much more. We could have listened to his stories for hours! We chat to Michael about how a defining moment as a teenager, watching Australian correspondents reporting from the other side of the world, set him on the path to journalism. He shares the wild, wonderful chaos of cutting his teeth as a young reporter in Kalgoorlie, before landing his big break in Sydney at just 23, and the extraordinary twist of fate that saw him report live from New York on the morning of September 11. We also talk about some of the most memorable moments of his career, including an unforgettable, switch-flicking interview with the Duchess of York, and the circus of covering the Rose Porteous and Gina Rinehart saga early in his career. Michael opens up about the toll that years of travel and war reporting took on his family life, the guilt that comes with missing milestones, and how humour, a good curry, and a glass of red have helped him process some of the hardest things he's witnessed. One of the most moving parts of the conversation is Michael's account of covering the Abdallah and Sakr families' extraordinary story of forgiveness after the death of four children in a car crash, and the powerful impact that story had on families watching at home. We also get his take on covering the Bondi tragedy with care and calm, why he said yes to Dancing with the Stars despite being terrified, and the wisdom he'd offer his 20-year-old self after three decades in the industry. We loved getting to know the man behind the calm, familiar voice we've all grown up watching. We hope you love this episode as much as we did!

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for July 25, 2026 is: vituperate • vye-TOO-puh-rayt • verb To vituperate someone is to criticize or censure them severely or abusively. Vituperate can also mean "to use harsh condemnatory language." // They were vituperated for betraying their friends. See the entry > Examples: "On the world stage where Britain's royal family have traditionally been in the vanguard promoting our nation's brand, the Duke and Duchess remain hugely relevant. Old codgers vituperate and hate on them for their lucrative Instagram vibes, but out there in the global ether Haz and Megs still matter ..." — Tessa Dunlop, The i Paper (United Kingdom), 24 Mar. 2026 Did you know? There would seem to be as many English words and phrases for reading someone the riot act as there are justifications for doing so, from chew out, bawl out, and ream out, to dress down and tongue-lash. Vituperate, unlike this sample litany, is decidedly formal. This isn't to say that one needs must wear a top hat or pince-nez to vituperate or be vituperated, only that the word vituperate (which traces in part back to the Latin word vitium, meaning "fault") tends to appear in the types of publications that also use constructions like "needs must" and words like pince-nez.

Did Christina of Denmark really tell Henry VIII, "If I had two heads, one would be at His Majesty's disposal"?It's one of the most famous quotations associated with Henry VIII's search for a fourth wife. Christina, the young widowed Duchess of Milan, was considered as a possible bride for the Tudor king in 1538, and the story goes that she responded to Henry's interest with this wonderfully cutting remark.But did she actually say it?This question came up in the comments on my recent video about Henry VIII and Anne of Cleves, when someone claimed that the famous quotation first appeared in Martin Hume's 1905 book, The Wives of Henry VIII.I knew I'd seen it earlier than that, so I went down a historical rabbit hole to see just how far back I could trace it.In this video, I follow the quotation through nineteenth-century histories to a fascinating seventeenth-century account by German artist and art historian Joachim von Sandrart, who had actually seen Hans Holbein the Younger's famous portrait of Christina in England.But Sandrart's version isn't quite the quotation we know today.I also look at the contemporary diplomatic evidence surrounding Henry's proposed marriage to Christina, including what Thomas Wriothesley reported about Christina's attitude towards the match, and a wonderfully dry comment made by Christina's aunt, Mary of Hungary, about Henry VIII's treatment of his wives.So, did Christina of Denmark really make the famous "two heads" remark? Or are we looking at a story that developed long after the events of 1538?Join me as I follow the evidence and try to find out.The National Gallery's current scholarly catalogue likewise describes the two-heads story as apocryphal and identifies Sandrart as the first known source for it.Sources include: Joachim von Sandrart, Teutsche Academie (1675) Letters and Papers, Foreign and Domestic, Henry VIII Calendar of State Papers, Spain Henry William Herbert, Memoirs of Henry VIII of England (1856) The Herald and Genealogist (1863) Martin Hume, The Wives of Henry VIII (1905) Retha M.

This is History: A Dynasty to Die For

A grieving George Duke of Clarence wants someone to blame for the tragic death of his wife and spare heir.  Isabel Neville, Duchess of Clarence, dies during childbirth in December 1476. Their infant son dies shortly afterward.  It's a moment that would push anyone to the brink, but in George's hands, it turns bloody. He sets his sights on two low-ranking staff members in the Clarence household, creates a kangaroo court, and sends them to the gallows.  This act of extrajudicial killing isn't seen as a lapse from someone wracked with grief, but something entirely in keeping with what many see in George: someone who is greedy, volatile, and profoundly disloyal.  It's these qualities that make King Edward IV realise England won't be at peace with George alive. So naturally, he reaches for a supply of Portuguese wine to sort things out once and for all.  – As always, Dan's royal favourites can chime in anytime on the royal court on Patreon at patreon.com/thisishistory. It's where you get your bonus episodes, and on this week's episode Dan explains why the ‘rule of law' could be made brittle for certain nobles under Edward IV's reign. Plus, we hear about whether George Duke of Clarence was a medieval gold digger, and why he decides to play “silly buggers” with a crystal ball.  – A Sony Music Entertainment production.  Find more great podcasts from Sony Music Entertainment at sonymusic.com/podcasts  To bring your brand to life in this podcast, email podcastadsales@sonymusic.com  Learn more about your ad choices.  Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices  –– Presented by Dan Jones  Producer - Alan Weedon Senior Producer - Dominic Tyerman Associate Producer - Dulcie Whadcock Executive Producer - Louisa Field  Executive Producer - Dan Jones Production Manager - Jen Mistri  Production Coordinator - Eric Ryan  Head of Content - Chris Skinner Learn more about your ad choices.

David asks Tracy to alert the committee that he'll be delayed while he finds dry clothes. Thinking she's addressing a committee member, Tracy explains to HRH The Duchess of Edinburgh that David has been delayed. Embarrassed by her mistake, Tracy goes on to explain that she's representing Bridge Farm, and is impressed to hear that Her Royal Highness has tasted Borsetshire Blue.

They explore her path from a Columbia neuroscience lab to fine art cake design, and the philosophy of "cake as therapy" that shapes her studio work. Then they turn to the commission itself: how she pitched it, why she landed on the theme American Made, and how children's artwork from all fifty states and the territories became the centerpiece.  Later, Grace walks through the congressional sessions she's running on Capitol Hill, the donated ingredients sourced from local farms and historic mills, the recipe she rebuilt from the first American cookbook, and the logistics of moving a cake the size of a car. They discuss: (0:00) Pitching the birthday cake (4:07) From a neuroscience lab to a cake studio (7:37) Fine art cakes and the multisensory experience (14:33)Personifying America and landing on American Made (29:48) Bipartisan sessions on Capitol Hill (37:04) Sourcing the ingredients from local farms (41:51) Baking like it's 1796: the historic recipe research  (46:53) A cake the size of a car: logistics, humidity, and delivery (49:13) Volunteers, nonprofits, and what she'll take away Check out Duchess of Cameron: https://www.duchessofcameron.com/ Follow Ron on Twitter: https://twitter.com/RonSteslow Follow Grace on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/duchessofcameron Email your questions to podcast@politicology.com or leave us a voicemail at ‪(202) 455-4558‬ Learn more about your ad choices.
