In this episode I spoke with Susan Morrison about her book "Lorne: The Man Who Invented Saturday Night Live". Over the fifty years that Lorne Michaels has been at the helm of Saturday Night Live, he has become a revered and inimitable presence in the entertainment world. He's a tastemaker, a mogul, a withholding father figure, a genius spotter of talent, a shrewd businessman, a name-dropper, a raconteur, the inspiration for Dr. Evil, the winner of more than a hundred Emmys—and, essentially, a mystery

She was the Ridgewood High School band director. He was a football coach for the Riverview High School team. She dropped her papers in the end zone. He helped pick them up. She eventually got his friend - the band director for Riverview - to have him finally call her to ask for a date. That was beginning of Bill and Cheryl Graham's love story; one that has endured through their combined 112-year teaching careers and beyond. Just in time for Valentine's Day, we hear from Bill and Cheryl about what kept them going through more than five decades in the classroom, how personal tragedy actually deepened their commitment to education, and why they continue to serve students now in their retirement.

Trigger Warning: This episode includes discussions of sex trafficking, sexual exploitation, and abuse. Sex trafficking does not only happen “somewhere else.” It thrives in silence, misunderstanding, and systems that fail to protect vulnerable youth. In this re-released episode of Care More Be Better, Corinna Bellizzi speaks with Emmy Award-winning filmmaker Melody C. Miller about her documentary California's Forgotten Children and the real-world impact it has had in schools, communities, and institutions across the United States. Melody began this work as a teenager, believing trafficking was a distant issue, only to discover that students from her own high school were being exploited. That realization led her to volunteer with survivor-led organizations, undergo trauma-informed training, and ultimately spend five years creating a film that centers survivor voices and equips communities with tools for prevention and response. This conversation is also deeply personal. Corinna shares her own experience of running away at thirteen and the vulnerability that follows when young people are left without safety, support, or options. Together, she and Melody unpack what sex trafficking actually looks like, how grooming and coercion operate, and why language, awareness, and informed action matter. Rather than focusing on perpetrators or sensational stories, this episode centers: Survivor-led insight Community-based prevention Trauma-informed response Practical guidance for recognizing and reporting exploitation Listeners will come away with a clearer understanding of how trafficking hides in plain sight—and how ordinary people can help interrupt it without putting themselves or others at risk. What We Cover in This Episode How Melody discovered trafficking within her own community Why sex trafficking is often misunderstood and misidentified The importance of survivor-centered language and reporting How schools and communities can safely intervene Real outcomes from film screenings, including victims coming forward Trauma-informed approaches in policing and education What each of us can do to help protect vulnerable youth If this episode feels heavy, you're not alone.

Big dreams often surface quietly, then get talked down by doubt, timing, or other people's opinions. What if the real work is not letting them disappear? How do you know which dreams are worth pursuing, who to bring along, and what tradeoffs actually matter? In this episode, Bryan Sweet sits down with Nick Nanton, Emmy Award winning filmmaker, producer, and bestselling author, to talk about dreaming intentionally, using creativity as a practical tool, and building teams that allow big ideas to become real. Nick shares how clarity, values, and persistence shape meaningful progress, why failure is part of the process, and how choosing gratitude over anxiety opens doors even in uncertain seasons. Key takeaways: Why creativity is about using your natural strengths, not artistic talent or inspiration alone How surrounding yourself with people you admire accelerates progress toward meaningful goals The role of values and alignment when choosing projects, partners, and risks How failure, timing, and persistence shape long-term fulfillment Why intentional living requires clarity about what you want and why it matters And more!

Ruth Barrett – Scoring The Girlfriend. In this episode of Sync Music Matters, I interview Emmy Award nominated composer Ruth Barrett to explore the infinite possibilities of musical collaboration and the art of shaping sound for story. We go under the skin of her incredible score for Amazon's The Girlfriend and The Terminal List: Dark Wolf Ruth shares how working with other musicians and writers opens unexpected creative doors.  From discovering unique textures to pushing the boundaries of sound design. We dive into the power of experimentation, and how bold sonic choices can elevate emotion on screen. A standout moment in our conversation is Ruth's approach to character themes — distilling an entire personality or journey down to a single word, then building a musical language around it. Ruth's music spans feature films and high-end television, blending lyrical themes and classical influences with modern textures. Her credits include The Old Guard 2, City of Tiny Lights, Harry Brown, and series such as Amazon's The Girlfriend and The Terminal List: Dark Wolf. This episode is a deep dive into collaboration, creativity, and the evolving language of music for screen. Ruth Barrett on Instagram

One need not look very far to see that the television landscape has rapidly changed in the last few years, with an influx of new streaming platforms and shifting audience viewing patterns. Another notable upheaval: In 2023, Don Lemon, the Edward R. Murrow and Emmy Award-winning journalist and longtime host of “CNN Tonight with Don Lemon,” was let go from CNN after seventeen years with the network. Following his exit, Lemon took time for introspection, resulting in his new book, “I Once Was Lost: My Search for God in America.” The work is a deeply personal exploration of his spiritual journey and the role of religion in the country. It is Lemon’s third book, following “Transparent” and the #1 New York Times bestseller “This Is The Fire: What I Say to My Friends About Racism.” Earlier this year, the anchor launched his new endeavor, “The Don Lemon Show,” on YouTube and podcast platforms. Host Alec Baldwin speaks with Don Lemon about the shakeup at CNN, the role of his faith in trying times, and the importance of the press and the First Amendment in a free society. Originally aired October 21st, 2024.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

When law enforcement calls a press conference, they're supposed to provide clarity and control the narrative. Last week's Pima County Sheriff's press conference about missing 84-year-old Nancy Guthrie—mother of Today Show anchor Savannah Guthrie—did the opposite.I brought on Emmy-winning former network correspondent Clayton Sandell to break down what went wrong. He spoke with me during a live chat on Substack on February 6, 2026. Clayton spent 25+ years covering major breaking news for ABC and Scripps, and now trains leaders on crisis communication. If anyone knows what a press conference should look like, it's him. We dissect:Why Sheriff Nanos appeared defensive and disorganized from the startThe critical mistakes: "Your guess is as good as mine" and "mistakes will be made"How the FBI agent's composure highlighted the sheriff's strugglesAshley Banfield's controversial reporting on a "person of interest"Whether the $50,000 reward press conference was even necessaryWhy the family's ransom video echoes Silence of the LambsHow NBC is managing tragedy during Olympic coverageThis isn't a true-crime episode; it's crisis communication. However, the discussion does shed light on how an investigation can lose its way. When a press conference becomes part of the crisis instead of the solution, every misstep gets magnified. This case study shows exactly how that happens in real time.What you'll learn: How to spot when officials are scrambling versus strategically withholding information, the difference between media training for one-on-ones versus press conferences, why "focusing on process" signals a lack of substantive leads, and what reporters are really looking for when they're in that room.Guest: Clayton Sandell, Emmy Award-winning former ABC News and Scripps correspondent, crisis communication trainerWatch the press conference here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xzPe6wG3GY0Want More Behind the Breakdown?

The newest installment of ESPN's acclaimed 30 for 30 series, The Philly Special, focuses on the moment that propelled the Philadelphia Eagles to an upset win over the Patriots for their first Super Bowl title in 2018, told through the perspectives of the players, coaches, and fans who experienced it. It's also a personal look at the city of Philadelphia, with its unique mix of heartfelt optimism, notorious pessimism, and unbridled underdog passion. Since 2018, the Philly Special has been immortalized on t-shirts, tattoos, murals, a statue outside Lincoln Financial Field, restaurant menus and multiple holiday albums recorded by the Eagles. It has transcended football to become part of Philadelphia's cultural identity. It's not just a play; it's a rallying cry for a city used to being overlooked. While Philadelphia might be the birthplace of America, the 6th most populated city in the country lives and dies with an underdog mentality – one epitomized by the Founding Fathers, Rocky Balboa…and The Philly Special. The Philly Special was directed by Shannon Furman and Angela Zender. An Emmy Award winning director and producer with over 20 years of storytelling and production experience, Shannon Furman directed 10 seasons of the critically acclaimed series Hard Knocks (HBO). She is the lead director and showrunner for the Emmy nominated series Hey Rookie (ESPN) and is also a director on the hit series Quarterback (Netflix). She has directed All or Nothing (Amazon), and her work on the series A Football Life (NFL Network) includes directing the untold story of Brandon Marshall.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Do you wonder about your past lives and how they might be impacting your life today? That's what the Akashic Records are all about and my guest, Mary Madeiras explains everything beautifully. Mary is an Advanced Akashic Records Practitioner, author, and three-time Emmy award-winning television director. Yes, that combination is as interesting as it sounds. Her background provides a rare way of translating big spiritual ideas into language that makes sense. What Are the Akashic Records? Mary explains the Akashic Records in a way that people immediately get. They're not some distant cosmic filing system reserved for mystics. The Records are a source of insight connected to your soul and higher awareness. Everything you have done in the past, are doing today, and possibly may do in the future can be found in one place. Don't go to the Akashic Records to collect past-life trivia or dramatic stories to entertain yourself. This information or resource is meant for understanding patterns, gaining clarity on issues happening now, and most of all, remembering who you are. What surprises many people is how practical working with the Records can be. Clear answers are often found about questions regarding relationships, work, creativity, or your direction in life. These are all ideal queries for the Akashic Library. For Mary, accessing the Records feels less like a solemn ritual. Her experience shows up more like stepping into a curious, open conversation with a wiser part of herself. She's encountered many wonderful revelations for her clients as well. How the Records Appear People often expect the Akashic Records to appear as a grand inner vision. You might see an ancient massive library filled with an endless sea of books. That image works beautifully for me and many others. However, Mary's experience is very different. In fact, she doesn't see a library at all. Instead, the information she receives comes through as a strong sense of knowing. Mary calls these impressions quantum visuals, meaning they aren't pictures so much as complete ideas that arrive fully formed. Imagine a block of information downloading to your intuitive brain. Officially, this is called claircognizance or knowing. Mary doesn't access her imagination or memory. The knowledge appears clear and direct in her mind, like it was brought there all at once. Over time, Mary learned to trust her intuition. She uses all of the “clairs” including listening, sensing, feeling, and knowing. This broader intuitive process allows the records to communicate in whatever way works best for each practitioner. It's a relief for many people to hear that there's no single right way to work with the Akashic. You don't need dramatic inner movies or to hear voices to do this intuitive work. The message always matters more than the method of delivery. Past Lives Without the Drama The Akashic Records can reveal past lives, but not always the way you might expect. These stories aren't about the details of a life, but more about context. Past-life information tends to surface when it helps explain something puzzling that's happening now. Clients can learn about roles they once held, themes that keep repeating, or relationships that feel strangely familiar. I asked Mary if it was like the soap operas and we laughed! However, the valuable insights aren't in the story itself. The information helps people understand their current choices, fears, and strengths. When viewed this way, past lives stop feeling abstract or like a curiosity. Your previous incarnations become a tool for insight, healing, and personal growth. Get the Ego Out of the Way One of the most important parts of Mary's work is learning how to step aside mentally and emotionally. She does this by consciously setting her ego aside before opening the records. Imagine that she tells her ego to take a seat in the corner and be quiet. This matters because opinions, assumptions, and personal filters can easily distort intuitive information. By releasing the need to interpret or judge what comes through, Mary allows the guidance to remain clear. She becomes temporarily incapable of having an opinion during sessions, which is exactly what makes the information so valuable for clients. Fascinating Past Life Stories Some of the most memorable moments in Mary's work come from retelling clues from the Records. One client who is an artist, had visited France and would always cry as she was leaving. She couldn't understand what this was about. Through the Records, Mary discovered a past life in which the client had been apprenticed to a lesser-known painter, who she worked for and then married. She would finish his work for him as part of her job. What made the experience powerful was that it tied her travel to France with being an artist in this life. After doing some research, she figured out which painter she'd been married to. The Akashic reminded her of something old and familiar and connected them to make more sense. The Records Are Within One of Mary's core teachings is that the Akashic Records are within you. You're not separate from them, and the information isn't hidden behind spiritual barriers. Turns out all of this data is part of your own energetic makeup. Across cultures and time periods, different traditions have pointed to this same idea. Edgar Cayce spoke about the records. The Bible refer to a Book of Life. Modern physics talks about fields of information and possibility. These are different languages, but all the same concept. Everything is connected, and your lessons are never truly lost. When you see the Akashic Records this way, they stop feeling mysterious or unreachable. They become something you can trust and access in your own way. A Lighter Way As our conversation came to a close, Mary shared a message that felt especially important and reassuring. Despite how chaotic the world seems right now, you are likely doing better than you think. There's a tendency to believe you need fixing or that you are missing something essential. The records consistently suggest otherwise. Mary encourages people to notice what brings ease and enjoyment into their daily lives. Small moments of pleasure matter. Laughter matters. Feeling connected matters as well as doing what you love. These aren't distractions from spiritual growth – they're a big part of it! Live With Curiosity and Trust live with curiosity and trust The purpose of exploring the Akashic Records is to better understand your life and the lessons you’re learning. When you approach your personal development and spiritual growth with curiosity, your own insights and choices become easier. Decisions feel less pressurized. Mary's work reminds you that wisdom doesn't have to be heavy or dramatic. Sometimes it's simple and even fun. Often, it's waiting for you to stop striving and take the time to simply listen.

Nearly 100 years after Cesar Chavez was born, his mission and message are as important now as ever. That's why when Orange High School Spanish teacher Emily Machias had the opportunity to bring Cesar Chavez's grandson to Orange City Schools during their Hispanic Heritage Month celebrations in 2025, she jumped at the chance to have her students hear from Andres Chavez about the labor leader and civil rights activist's enduring legacy. In this episode, Macias shares her passion for showing students the wider world around them, whether that means bringing them new perspectives, like those of Andres Chavez as he carries on his grandfather's work, or bringing them to new parts of the world, including a recent trip to Peru that included eye-opening visits to homes and a school in a remote part of that country.IN THE NEWS| Check out some of the local news coverage of Andres Chavez' visit to Pepper Pike:Andres Chavez tells crowd at Orange High School how he works to keep grandfather's legacy alive - cleveland.com Northeast Ohio events will honor Cesar Chavez's labor legacy in the state and beyond | Ideastream Public MediaGrandson of civil rights activist Cesar Chavez to speak Oct. 16 at Orange High School - cleveland.comLEARN MORE | For more information about the Cesar Chavez Foundation and its ongoing work, click here.SHARE YOUR PERSPECTIVE | If you have an education topic you're passionate about or know about great work educators are doing in your Local, we want to hear from you on the podcast!

The February 5 edition of the AgNet News Hour featured one of the most candid and wide-ranging conversations of the year as hosts Nick Papagni and Josh McGill sat down with Jeff Aiello, a 13-time Emmy Award-winning cinematographer, PBS host, and founder of 1830 Entertainment. Aiello, best known for his work on American Grown: My Job Depends on Ag and Outside Beyond the Lens, shared what he has learned firsthand while documenting California agriculture, wolves, forests, and water policy. Aiello explained that his recent wolf documentaries were not planned around a narrative — they unfolded in real time. While filming in Sierra Valley, he witnessed California Department of Fish and Wildlife, USDA officials, drones, wardens, and ranchers all scrambling to respond to active wolf depredation events. “It was chaos,” Aiello said. “And it was completely unsustainable.” What stood out most to him was how predictable the crisis had been. Wolves, reintroduced decades ago in Yellowstone and later migrating into California, were placed under strict protections without a meaningful management plan. Once deer and elk populations declined, wolves did what wolves are designed to do — find new prey. In California, that meant livestock. Aiello emphasized that wolves are intelligent apex predators, not villains, but said policy failures have forced them into conflict with people. Aiello contrasted California's approach with Canada and other western states, where lethal control is part of responsible wolf management. “When a pack learns cattle are dangerous, they move on,” he said. “Here, they've learned there are no consequences.” He warned that continued inaction risks pushing ranchers into desperate situations while ultimately putting wolves themselves in greater danger. The conversation expanded beyond wolves into forest and water management, where Aiello believes California has repeated the same mistakes for decades. He described how shutting down logging while continuing aggressive fire suppression created overgrown forests — setting the stage for today's catastrophic wildfires. Those fires, he noted, destroy habitat, forcing wildlife downhill and closer to farms and towns. Water policy was another major focus. Aiello argued that California's water problems are largely man-made, pointing to failed storage projects, Delta mismanagement, and a refusal to acknowledge infrastructure realities. He warned that a major earthquake in the Delta could instantly cripple water deliveries to Southern California, exposing how fragile the system truly is. One of Aiello's strongest messages centered on food security. He criticized the idea that reducing agriculture in California helps the environment, calling it hypocritical. “You're exporting your environmental responsibility to countries with fewer regulations,” he said. “People still have to eat.” He reminded listeners that agriculture is the world's largest carbon-removal industry, pulling CO₂ from the atmosphere every day through crops and orchards. Papagni and McGill praised Aiello for telling agriculture's story honestly, without spin. As Aiello put it, “Farmers aren't the problem — they're the solution. They just need to be allowed to do their jobs.”

An active investigation into the death of 14-year-old Celeste Hernandez has left the public with a timeline, a Tesla, and an extensive list of unanswered question. In this episode of Zone 7, Sheryl McCollum is joined by journalist Lauren Conlin to review what has been said publicly about Celeste’s initial classification as a runaway, her connections to older individuals, and why the continued absence of a named person of interest raises concern. They turn to the arrest of actor/director Timothy Busfield and discuss what can and cannot be concluded from selective “evidence” releases, how credibility gets weaponized in public, and why child abuse allegations demand careful, methodical evaluation rather than internet verdicts. Highlights: • (0:00) Sheryl McCollum opens the episode on the death of Celeste Hernandez and why the case is “driving her crazy” • (1:30) Lauren Conlin’s case status framing: no official person of interest, grand jury activity, and what “imminent indictment” does and does not mean • (3:00) Celeste’s runaway classification, age, and how early labels can shape urgency, resources, and risk • (7:15) Behavior after the discovery: canceled tour, transferred home ownership, legal strategy, and public silence • (10:00) Publicity economics: spikes in streams/downloads and the reality of scandal- driven attention • (15:15) Homicide indicator vs. Evidentiary barriers when decomposition complicates cause-of-death determinations • (17:45) Tesla cameras, event data, and why Sheryl expects a digital trail around movement and access • (21:45) Why runaway youth are at elevated risk and how dependency becomes leverage for exploitation • (27:00) Timothy Busfield: prior allegations and the optics of how he presented himself • (29:15) The alleged history patterns, witness context, and credibility disputes around the parents • (33:00) “Tickling to me does not absolve you from being a pervert.” • (36:00) Predatory access: why being near adults does not guarantee safety and how abuse can occur quickly and covertly • (39:15) Sheryl and Lauren address recantation, selective interview clips, and why child abuse cases require restraint, context, and patience before judgment Guest Bio: Lauren Conlin is a New York-based journalist covering true crime and high-profile investigations.
