We're celebrating our 10th anniversary all year by digging in the vaults to re-present classic episodes with fresh commentary. Today, we're revisiting our 2020 conversation with Linda Perry.   ABOUT LINDA PERRYSinger, songwriter, musician, producer, and Songwriters Hall of Fame inductee Linda Perry first made her mark as an artist, serving as lead vocalist and primary songwriter of the group 4 Non Blondes, which is best known for the Top 15 pop hit “What's Up?” Following a couple of solo albums, Linda emerged as a powerhouse songwriter and producer thanks to her work on P!nk's multiplatinum Misundaztood album. The debut single, “Get The Party Started,” which Linda wrote solo, was a global smash. She followed it up with another solo-written composition, “Beautiful,” which became a chart-topping ballad for Christina Aguilera that earned a Grammy nomination for Song of the Year. Subsequent chart success came with Gwen Stefani's debut solo single “What You Waiting For,” Alicia Keys's “Superwoman,” Ariana Grande's debut single “Put Your Hearts Up,” Miley Cyrus's “Hands of Love,” and additional singles for Aguilera, including the Top 10 hits “Hurt” and “Keeps Gettin' Better.” Recently, Linda collaborated with Dolly Parton on the soundtrack of the film Dumplin', including the song “Girl in the Movies,” which was nominated for both a Golden Globe and a Grammy award. Linda is a four-time Grammy nominee, including a 2019 nomination for Producer of the Year, making her the only solo female producer to ever earn a nomination for their work producing other artists. The long list of artists Linda has produced, collaborated with, or had her songs covered by include Adele, Courtney Love, Cheap Trick, Faith Hill, Britney Spears, KT Tunstall, Weezer, Pat Benetar, Solange, L.P., Joan Jett, The Chicks, Vanessa Carlton, Celine Dion, Elvis Costello, and Lady Gaga. In addition to her prolific songwriting and production activities, Perry is a multi-faceted music industry entrepreneur, having worked as a music publisher, manager, or mentor with artists such as James Blunt, Dorothy, and Natasha Bedingfield.

"I've found that the books that have resonated with me the most are books where your body is incidental, but it's still something that you can never leave behind.” - Julie MurphyJulie Murphy has an unexpected story, one that involves a winding road to her writing career. With equal parts quick wit and matter-of-factness, Julie shares that part of her confidence that she could dare to be a writer came after falling deep into the Twilight series. If Stephanie Meyer, an untrained author, could write an international bestseller about shiny vampires, why couldn't she write a bestseller too? Okay, possibly not that easy, and of course Julie's journey to self-assurance and self-love, both for her writing and herself, has been far from just getting caught up in Team Edward vs Team Jacob. Navigating the tumult of unstable finances, queerness within Christian religious environments, and body image issues, Julie's coming-of-age years were full of challenges. Yet, through writing, reading, and self-reflection, she has cultivated a deep love and appreciation for her authentic self and her body. Now, she writes stories that feature characters who undertake similar journeys of self-discovery and who live in and love their bodies.Julie Murphy is beloved by kids and adults alike. Her acclaimed novel "Dumplin'" was adapted into a popular Netflix film. Along with the “Dumplin'” series, Julie has written the middle grade “Camp Sylvania” series, the "Faith Herbert Origin Story" series and was widely celebrated for her 2014 debut novel, "Side Effects May Vary." In all of her stories, Julie features plus-sized characters whose bodies are incidental to the story, but that inclusion is central to Julie's own story and to the die-hard fans of her books (raises hand!). In this episode, Julie tells us about the double-edged sword of her self-deprecating humor and how she feels about the response she gets not just from her young readers, but especially from their moms. She also discusses the evolution of body politics. She shares the college class that bored her into oblivion, leading her to discover the Twilight series and sparking the chain reaction that landed her in the literary world. ***Connect with Jordan and The Reading Culture @thereadingculturepod and subscribe to our newsletter at thereadingculturepod.com/newsletter. ***While Julie's own love story is rom-com worthy (she'll share in the episode!), for her reading challenge, “Love Hurts”, she wants us to read love stories that also… well…. hurt.***This episode's Beanstack Featured Librarian is Lauren Mobley, a middle school librarian in Atlanta, Georgia.

A movie full of southern accents, drag queens, and one true pageant queen. We watched the movie adaptation of the book Dumplin and while it may not be the exact same, it was just as cute and nice and Millie still was the star. 10/10 would watch again.

Dumplings are a great food but not a cute nickname. Join us as we talk about Dumplin' by Julie Murphy, a book we both loved and think everyone should read. Listen for red flags in teen dating, pageant info, and Dolly Parton, the icon.

Welcome back Page Turners and Button Mashers! Niki and Tyler are so excited to be back on a whole new schedule with a little bit of a format change! First and foremost, Niki begins with her first book of season 3 with part ONE of Dumplin' by Julie Murphy. Then Tyler follows with his new format of XCOM 2. We are so happy to be back in your ears, and we can't wait to bring you more episodes. Please note that for this episode we had a bit of readjustments and are aware of sound issues. Also, that none of the story belongs to PT&BM, and there are definitely spoilers ahead! https://linktr.ee/pageandbuttonspodcast --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pageandbuttonspodcast/message Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/pageandbuttonspodcast/support

Thank for clicking or downloading on today's episode of TV Reload with Danielle MacDonald. We will be talking about The Tourist: Series 2 which is out now on Stan Australia.  For the second series we pick up with Jamie Doran's character Elliot and who is now in Ireland where he is discovering his real family to get some answers on who he really is after his Australia ordeal in series one. Of course Elliot gets caught up in all kinds of craziness with people trying to kill him and Danielle's character is also back along for the ride. While Danielle is an Australian actress, her work overseas is what has made her a household name. Staring in films like Dumplin with Jennifer Anniston, Birdbox with Sandra Bullock and the Fench Exit with Michelle Pfiffer. We have plenty to discuss to discuss today. We will unpack her return to the popular Stan Original series The Tourist. Including why she came back to this role, what it was like to work alongside Jamie Doran and how she may have influence the story's location change from Australia to Ireland. Maybe. I will ask about how she stays cool working alongside A-listers, if she has Bullock, Aniston and Pfiffer's mobile numbers and fist full of fun stories from her very successful career thus far. Anyway, let's bring Danielle into the podcast, so sit back and relax as we dive just that little bit deeper into the world of television. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

We're on the next installment of our Freedom theme and are bringing you one of our favorite movies, Dumplin'. It stars Danielle MacDonald as Willowdean, a teen who decides to enter her town's prestigious beauty contest even though her mother Rosie, played by Jennifer Aniston is against it annnd even though she's not the 'usual pageant girl'. Dumplin' also has a strong Dolly Parton storyline which inadvertently makes this our 2nd Dolly Parton movie in a row! In this episode: Corinne explains why Barnes and Noble may be a viable option for love if you get kicked off Tinder, we explore pageant fashion (like Rosie's hermetically sealed pageant dress vs. her other dress which looks like a wet dream from Elvis's Graceland) and propose that Dolly Parton is not just a person, she is a state of mind. We agree with the premise of this movie 'that everybody is a bathing suit body' so we hope all you sun-funning beauties join us for Dumplin'.

Julie wrote the young adult novel Dumplin' that became the 2018 Jennifer Aniston movie of the same title. Now she's branching out into some spicy romance with her new book, A Merry Little Meet Cute, about a pornstar who is cast in a wholesome Christmas movie. It's funny. It's raunchy. It's perfect for the season. We talk about whether she is the most famous living person from Arlington, why the water tastes bad in Dalworthington Gardens, if Dolly Parton (who wrote the music for Dumplin') might have sleeve tattoos, and her friend who has hypnagogic hallucinations. Also, she attempts to recall as many euphemisms for genitalia as she can in 30 seconds. 

We had the pleasure of interviewing Ginger Ming over Zoom video.Drag Race and singer/songwriter Ginger Minj returns to the big screen in the new Disney+ film, Hocus Pocus 2. Along with the film release, Minj released her own rendition of the song, "I Put A Spell On You” with an original music video. The master performer is on tour supporting her Hocus Pocus Halloween Bash, a 9-city tour that kicked off in Atlanta, GA at the OutFront Theatre on September 23rd. Since releasing her debut country music album, Double Wide Diva, one year ago to critical acclaim, Minj has kept a stacked schedule and toured the world including residencies in the UK, Las Vegas, and Provincetown, MA. Signed to PEG Records with distribution by ADA/Warner Music Group, Minj just released a new collaboration, "Sunshine State" with country music artist and songwriter Brandon Stansell. She has spent the past decade touring the world, performing showtunes for Broadway royalty on national television, starring in the 2018 Netflix feature film Dumplin' (Jennifer Anniston, Dove Cameron), and recording her three studio albums.We want to hear from you!

This episode we're discussing the story of a plus sized girl in a size two world with Dumplin', written by Julie Murphy and the film adaptation directed by Anne Fletcher. There's plenty of important subjects to discuss this episode, like fat representation and the unreal beauty standards women face. But also, we have speculate on what a diet of red lollipops will do to your teeth and what the Chili Bowl subplot of the book was really about!

If you had to walk the runway in high heels in front of the whole town, would you fall down? Do you care about world peace? Well then tune in to listen to LJ, Di, and special guest, Anna, as they talk about the Netflix original Dumplin. We are honored to have this guest on who runs quite possibly the best pageant in the world. Tune in to find out how she has helped create that and given women an opportunity to develop life skills as a part of pageant participation. 

This episode is inspired by a member of my group program, Fierce Fatty Academy, who shared that her doctor shamed her son's weight. Children are going to be exposed to weight bias, so what can we do when that happens? And what can we do to make sure that we don't unintentionally cause them to stress about their weight and food? Isn't childhood “ob*sity” causing massive issues in society meaning we need to control children's weights? BONUS: List of 39 books for kids to adolescents that spread the body diversity message.

The most engaging storytellers create a window into a new world and encourage our minds to expand our own understanding of the world around us. At this point on the timeline, in 2022, with so much media available for us to access, have you ever wondered how the most powerful and popular storytellers unearth their stories? And, what part does intuition and spirituality play in bringing these stories to life? This week on INSIDE THE WOONIVERSE, I'm speaking with one of the most influential film and television producers and storytellers in the world, Kristin Hahn. Kristin is the president of Hahnscape Entertainment, and has a robust body of work - including projects like ‘The Departed', ‘The Time Traveler's Wife', ‘Cake', ‘Stargirl', Netflix's ‘Dumplin' and Apple TV's award winning big hit ‘The Morning Show' with Jennifer Aniston. Kristin and Jennifer are also producing partners and co-own the company Echo Films. Kristin is the author of In Search of Grace: A Religious Outsider's Journey Across America's Landscape of Faith and the 2022 Poling Chair at the Kelley Business School at Indiana University, teaching leadership styles in the workplace.  In this conversation, we speak about the magic of storytelling, the value of following your intuition and the vital connection between spirituality and creativity. >>> You can access our Show Notes HERE >>> You can access INSIDE OF THE WOONIVERSE Bonus Material HERE >>>> Click here if you have any questions for Colette, or if you'd like to share any 'A-Ha' moments with us.

It's vitally important to remember that you can start over anytime. Each moment is one that's never happened before. If you've been compiling a mental list of why your husband is a butthead, that's interfering with you feeling close to him, you can cast that list to the four winds. You don't have to hold onto it if it's not helping you be happy. If you just yelled at your four year old for stuffing Orbeez® in the baby's ear, you can apologize, calmly explain your concern and let the incident go. You don't have to keep a rap sheet on yourself going in your head. You can be born again right now. In the words of author Debasish Mridha,"We are born and reborn again and again.

In this week's episode, Chris, Lisa, and Ken talk about plus size people and how they are represented in TV and movies. In today's examples, they discuss the movies Dumplin', Superbad, and Shallow Hal.  ----- Do you have a story you would like to share? Send it to us at theweightingroompc@gmail.com

Spoilers be damned, we loved this gay ass film.   We mention the film While You Were Sleeping (1995) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0114924/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1), which was the subject of our previous episode, the TV series Schitt's Creek (2015-2020) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt3526078/), which features Jennifer Robertson as Jocelyn Schitt, and the films Dumplin' (2018) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt4878482/), Hocus Pocus (1993) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0107120/) and Sister Act (1992) (https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0105417/?ref_=fn_al_tt_1), which all star Kathy Najimi.   Here is the definition of ‘plant gay' in the Urban Dictionary: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=plant%20gay and their definition of ‘guncle' is here: https://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=guncle.   Next month we are planning to watch Sleepless In Seattle.   We record these episodes over the internet.

Welcome to Prophecy Radio, a Percy Jackson podcast dedicated to all of Rick Riordan's past, present, and future projects! Co-hosts Karen Rought and Kristen Kranz talk about what's new in the Percy Jackson fandom, discuss all the books the Rick Riordan Presents authors have written outside of the Disney imprint, and analyze chapters 13 and 14 of Percy Jackson and the Lightning Thief. New episodes of Prophecy Radio will air weekly, and all ages are welcome to tune in. News and Updates (00:01:07) This might be the longest doc we've had so far. First and foremost, we have news from Rick's blog! There's no current plan for a Daughter of the Deep sequel, but never say never! The Lords of Night: A Shadow Bruja Novel and Serwa Boateng's Guide of Vampire Hunting have official release dates and synopses. We have an official update on where in the process the Nico di Angelo book currently is. The book is at 117,000 words. How many pages is that? We're probably not getting anymore Percy Jackson television show news until 2022. That includes no news for Disney+ Day. BUT we know Becky and Rick have reviewed some casting callback tapes. Read Riordan has spotlights on Nelinha, Ester, and Gemini. The Last Fallen Star is officially in New Zealand! You can sing to the karaoke version of The Lightning Thief Musical! (Edit: Apparently this is from 2019, and we had no idea!) “Forget Horse Girls, Embrace the Mythology Freak” by Jenny G. Zhang (here's the tweet) Sorry, Frank. Why did we like mythology so much, and what do all the mythology freaks have in common? (Say hi to Callie!) Rick Riordan Presents authors' other series (00:18:47) We're really excited about all the books, novellas, anthologies, and short stories these authors have written. But fair warning: There are A LOT. Anthologies have really made a resurgence lately, and we're into it. Up first is Roshani Chokshi, who wrote the Pandava Quintet/Aru Shah books! She's got some other stories here about Hindu mythology that might be for older audiences. And one of her books definitely gives Six of Crows vibes, if you're into that! Next up is J.C. Cervantes! Look, sometimes words are hard. Karen just wants to keep Kristen on her toes. Yoon Ha Lee, who wrote Dragon Pearl, is a very prolific writer. There's a lot of sci-fi here, and some really cool concepts. Kristen gets her mind blown, repeatedly. Festus, is that you? Thank the gods for Wikipedia. Next on our happy hit parade is Carlos Hernandez, who wrote Sal & Gabi. Karen learned a fun fact about him, and she is very excited. Short stories can get W E I R D. Kwame Mbalia wrote the Tristan Strong series, as well as some other cool books. Black Boy Joy seems like a really important book to have right now. You might as well just assume almost everyone has written short stories. Tehlor Kay Mejia wrote the Paola Santiago series, and she's up next. She's got some great titles. If you liked Dumplin', then you might like Miss Meteor. Forests are so cool and creepy. Karen gets a book idea in the middle of recording. Graci Kim wrote the Gifted Clan series, and Karen has a quick aside about the last book in the series. She hasn't written any other books, but we have some fun facts to share about her! Who knew running away to the circus was so common? Rebecca Roanhorse wrote Race to the Sun, and a lot more!. You should watch Love and Monsters. And then go read Roar by Cora Carmack. We love a good title. And a good name. How do we feel about historical fiction? Here's LeVar Burton reading “Wherein Abigail…,” “Takeback Tango,” and “Welcome to Your Authentic Indian Experience ™.” Sarwat Chadda wrote City of the Plague God, as well as some other interesting books! Have you seen A Little Princess? Shoutout to Animorphs! More short stories! More anthologies! Next up is Lori M. Lee, who wrote Pahua and the Soul Stealer. She's a busy lady, but she does plan to finish her Gates of Thread and Stone series. See? Forests are creepy! Yeah, you should definitely read A Thousand Beginnings and Endings. Roseanne A. Brown wrote Serwa Boateng's Guide to Vampire Hunting, which we are very excited about. She also just finished up her duology in her A Song of Wraiths and Ruin series. They have some incredibly stunning covers. It's so cool that so many of these authors have written for Marvel and Star Wars, too. Daniel José Older wrote Ballad & Dagger, which definitely has some shared threads with one of his other series. If you're looking for an adult series, look no further than Bone Street Rumba! Daniel has written *all* kinds of books. Well-behaved spirits are super lame. Who else loves Waterworld?? Stacey Lee will be writing Winston Chu Versus the Whimsies, and Karen's definitely heard of her books before. Bridgerton might be a little spicy for our younger listeners. Historical fiction about non-white stories are always interesting reads. Everyone is running away to the circus! Karen brings the whole podcast down. Lastly, we've got Tracey Baptiste, who will be writing Moko Magic. Lots of jumbies here! Let's throw in some Minecraft, shall we? More jumbies! Plus, some non-fiction! We did it! We made it! We hope you found your next read. If you've read any of these, let us know which ones we should start with! Chapter Reviews (01:19:21) Let's talk about The Lightning Thief chapters 13 and 14. Grover sleeps a lot. Thank the gods for Annabeth. That chimera? No, thank you. Ohio reference! Karen breaks Kristen. It's always interesting when the female goddesses give birth to the demigods. Annabeth's childhood sounds rough, and it's so sad. But we can't wait to see her relationship with her father improve. Percy doesn't want to be enemies! What, exactly, is Poseidon's domain? Prophecy Count: 4 Percy can see through the Mist a lot better now. The dark is very scary. Percy really needed to take this moment to reflect on everything that's happening to him. Who was the woman in the water? How did that lady see through the Mist? But, seriously, how exactly does the Mist work? How has Percy never noticed he can breathe underwater? Thanks for listening, and be sure to tune in next week for episode 8, which will discuss some Daughter of the Deep spoilers. This episode's hosts are: Karen Rought and Kristen Kranz.

Have you ever imagined what your favorite Disney princess would be like if her story was written in the present day? You no longer need to wonder! Julie Murphy, author and a New York Times bestseller, and I sat down to chat about her newly released book, If The Shoe Fits. Julie is the author and mind behind, If The Shoe Fits, a Meant to Be novel. It is the modern day tale of Cinderella from @DisneyBooks. About the Guest: Author, Julie Murphy lives in North Texas with her husband who loves her, her dog who adores her, and her cats who tolerate her. After several wonderful years in the library world, Julie now writes full-time. When she's not writing or reliving her reference desk glory days, she can be found watching made-forTV movies, hunting for the perfect slice of cheese pizza, and planning her next great travel adventure. She is also the #1 New York Times bestselling author of novels for young people including Dumplin' (now a film on Netflix), Puddin', Ramona Blue, Faith Taking Flight, Side Effects May Vary, and Dear Sweet Pea. IF THE SHOE FITS is the first title in the new adult series, Meant To Be. Books designed to reimagine some of Disney's best-known narrative works by publishing new versions written by diverse talent. http://www.imjuliemurphy.com/ https://www.instagram.com/andimjulie/ https://twitter.com/andimJULIE https://www.pinterest.com/andimjulie/ https://www.facebook.com/juliemurphywrites About the Host: Following the crumbs in the chaos is a full time job. As a busy mom of three, a wife to a traveling hubby, and keeping it weird in Austin, Texas, it's safe to say that my life is never boring. In addition to running my coaching business as C'N'C's CEO, I'm a certified coach for a premier virtual fitness and nutrition program helping others feel better while sustaining a healthy lifestyle. My mom and dad are thrilled that I'm putting my Exercise Science degree to good use. Along with my experience training pro athletes, S.W.A.T. members, and a high school football team, I gained 10+ years experience as the Director of Marketing building multiple court reporting companies. Lastly, I am a published writer, Content Coordinator, and Account Executive for a publication by Best Version Media. They even gave me a monthly “How to” column where I teach others how to be more self-sufficient with common household tasks. Every woman should know how their home functions and what to do if something malfunctions, man or no man. With my husband on the road, searching “How To” on the internet has transformed me into a “Mommy MacGyver”. “I don't know how you have the time.” “You're like a Supermom!” These are common things that people say, but the truth is that life hasn't always been easy or pretty. Even with the bumps, I always try to find the humor in everything because laughter is good for the soul and you should never take life too seriously….where's the fun in that? www.chaosncookies.com https://www.instagram.com/heathersteinker https://www.facebook.com/heathersteinker https://linktr.ee/hsteinker https://chaosncookies.com/shop Thanks for listening!

Dani and Izzie also discuss the question: do leagues really exist? Talking about Dolly Parton allows Dani to express her undying love for country music and Nashville. Meanwhile, Izzie gives another #stoolstatus and speaks the truth about why we deserved a better ending to this novel.
