Taylor & Nick bum a ride with Nate Johnson (Cedric the Entertainer) and his family (Vanessa L. Williams, Bow Wow, and Solange Knowles) as they head to Carruthersville, Missouri for their family reunion. Along the trip, the Johnson family encounters everything from a nutty hitchhiker (Shannon Elizabeth) and her pet alligator to the screen debut of Jason Momoa.

Cedric the Entertainer first rose to national fame as one of The Original Kings of Comedy before starring in films like Barbershop and the hit sitcom The Neighborhood, which he also produced. Anthony Anderson is best known for his Emmy-nominated role on Black-ish, along with films including Hustle & Flow and The Departed. The two met through acting more than 30 years ago and have remained close friends ever since, partly through a shared love of cooking and entertaining. Together, they've built AC Barbecue, a brand dedicated to showing that barbecue is about more than just great food—it's a centerpiece of African American culture and community. Now they have a new cookbook called AC Barbecue: The Husky and Handsome Guide to Grilling, and they're shining a light on the pitmasters, the history, and the storytelling that has helped define barbecue in America.

Jahrgang 1966, Comedian, Autor & Entertainer Wie ein gut gelaunter Staubsauger surrt Torsten Sträter durchs Leben, seines ist dem unseren möglicherweise gar nicht so unähnlich, und doch geht er anders mit Begebenheiten und Beobachtungen um, er verwertet sie meist lustiger. Unermüdlich nimmt der gebürtige Dortmunder die vermeintlich normalen, aber auch die absurden und abwegigen Dinge des Alltags auf. Die er dann, einem guten Chemiker gleich, stofflich verändert und in seinem reagenzglasartigen Gehirn zu Pointen mixt, zu Bühnenprogrammen und Büchern. Sein Output als Entertainer und Comedian ist immens. Neben vielen anderen kleineren und größeren Auszeichnungen gewann der Mann mit der schwarzen Wollmütze 2022 gemeinsam mit Kurt Krömer den Grimme Preis für eine Episode von "Chez Krömer". Nun ist er endlich hier mal zu Gast, bei uns in der Hörbar Rust.

Darin beleuchtet er warmherzig und humorvoll, aber auch tiefgreifend die Felder Identität und Alltagsrassismus und stellt sich die Frage, wie unsere vielfältige Gesellschaft ein echtes "Wir"-Gefühl schaffen könnte.

Elk jaar is Dolly aanwezig op de botenparade met Bellefleurs Prideboot op de Canal Parade. Die dit jaar samenvalt met de WorldPride.   Ellen Deckwitz gaat met Ruud Douma in gesprek.

Dalibor Petko ist ein Phänomen: Der kroatische TV-Moderator und Entertainer geht seit einigen Jahren mit seinen Eurovision-Parodien auf TikTok und Instagram viral – Millionen Klicks, tausende Fans, und in der Eurovision-Community wird er eifrig geteilt. Wir haben den Therapeuten der Post-Eurovision-Depression getroffen. Außerdem erinnern wir uns an Bonnie Tyler und verraten, was Freddie Mercury mit dem Song Contest zu tun hat. Dalibor Petko hat viele parodiert: Ob er als Delta Goodrem im Glitzerkleid am Klavier steht, mit seiner Mama "Biti zdrava" klatscht, ob Nemo begeistert auf seine Version von "The Code" reagiert, oder ob manche ESC-Künstler:innen sich Sorgen machen, weil er sie noch nicht parodiert hat: Dalibor Petko gehört zum Eurovision Song Contest mittlerweile einfach dazu. Marco hat ihn für diese Episode getroffen. Dalibor Petko auf Instagram und TikTok, sowie seine TV-Show Dalibor Petko Show auf YouTube. Außerdem erinnern Marco und Simon an eine ganz große der Popgeschichte, die uns verlassen hat: Bonnie Tyler, geboren als Gaynor Hopkins in Wales, gestorben am 8. Juli 2026. „Total Eclipse of the Heart", „Holding Out for a Hero", zwei Grammy-Nominierungen, ein Auftritt beim Eurovision Song Contest 2013 in Malmö – und eine Stimme, die eigentlich ein Unfall war und zum größten Markenzeichen wurde. Mehr über Bonnie Tyler auf bonnietyler.com. In der Kleinen Song Contest Geschichte am Schluss erzählt Marco, dass Eurovision schon parodiert wird, seit er zur europäischen Fernsehkultur gehört. Von einem spanischen Kinofilm aus dem Jahr 1969 über Monty Python und einen legendären Auftritt von Freddie Mercury bis zu Hape Kerkeling und den spanischen Comedians Martes y Trece.

The history of video game magazines have given us some amazing publications that have helped historians understand the past in ways we otherwise would never be able to. One publication, a newsletter produced by mail-order retailer Video Take-Out, has emerged as probably the most significant source for information about the industry in the 80s, Video Game Update and Computer Entertainer.  Marylou Badeaux and her sister Celeste Dolan, miticulously catalogued the turbulent early years of consoles and home computers for their readers.  The fact that this amazing publication was Marylou's side gig while she was an executive at Warner Records, working with the likes of Quincy Jones and Prince, makes the magazine's excellence even more astounding. Marylou takes us back to those heady days and we find out what it was like to be a retailer at that time, how news was gathered and what it was like to be dealing with some of the greatest musicians of the age.

What if the disappointment you didn't choose was the only door to the life you were meant to live?Three generations of one family chased professional baseball, and all three lost it to a career-ending injury. Each one found his calling in the aftermath. That pattern runs through Voices: The Danny Gans Story, filmmaker Andrew Gans's documentary about his father, the Las Vegas entertainer known as the Man of Many Voices. In this Deep Dive, Christian Taylor sits with what Andrew's film, and her own family's story, reveal about disappointment, the courage to tell the truth, and the doors we would never have chosen to walk through.In this Deep Dive on Documentary First Episode 280 with Andrew Gans, Christian goes deeper into the heartbreak behind the film: a lost baseball career, a father's sudden death, a movie nearly ended by COVID, and the hard choice between protecting a hero and telling the truth. She connects it to her own son's last-minute disqualification that sent him to Normandy and seeded her film The Girl Who Wore Freedom, and to the warning Danny Gans's story carries for anyone living with chronic pain.The thread tying it together is simple and hard. The worst thing that happens to you is almost never what you would have chosen, and sometimes it is the only door to the life you were meant to live. But not every closed door opens onto something better. Danny built an extraordinary life after his injury, then lost the end of that life to the medication treating his chronic pain. The doorway and the warning reach us through the same act: Andrew's refusal to quit.In this episode, Christian explores:Why three generations of one family lost their baseball dreams to injury and found their calling in the aftermathHow Andrew Gans set out to honor his father and ended up telling a harder, more honest storyWhy the worst thing that happens to you can become the only door to the life you were meant to liveHow COVID and lost funding became the reason the most personal part of the film existsThe choice every documentary filmmaker faces: protect the hero or tell the truthWhy someone is more of a hero when you see that they are human and flawedHow a soldier's unfair disqualification became the foundation for The Girl Who Wore FreedomWhy not every closed door opens onto something better, and how to hold that honestlyWhat Danny Gans's life and loss reveal about chronic pain and pain medicationWhy holding your plan loosely can make a better film, and a better lifeChapters:0:00 A Warning That Might Save Your Life1:09 Andrew Gans: Losing the Dream and a Father2:08 Three Generations, Three Closed Doors2:54 How COVID Setbacks Shaped the Film3:13 Making a Documentary About Your Own Family3:33 Telling the Truth in a Documentary About Family4:28 My Son Hunter and the Door to Normandy5:42 Danny Gans: An Extraordinary Life and Tragic Loss6:21 Chronic Pain and the Danger of Pain Medication6:40 Why Persistence Matters in Filmmaking7:02 Letting Go of Control7:49 When Disappointment Is a DoorwayFrequently Asked Questions:What is Voices: The Danny Gans Story about?Voices: The Danny Gans Story is a documentary by Andrew Gans about his father, the Las Vegas entertainer Danny Gans, known as the Man of Many Voices.

Suzy Cato is a cornerstone of Kiwi children's entertainment. Her TV shows and podcasts are beloved by children and adults alike – ‘You and Me' in particular holding a special place in the hearts of the audience who grew up with it. It delivered over 2000 episodes since it began in 1993, and is credited as one of the first children's programmes to weave te reo Māori into everyday conversation. And now, 33 years later, Cato has released a brand-new season of the beloved show on YouTube, saying it's needed in an increasingly fast-paced world. “We've had so many parents say, oh I wish there was something like ‘You and Me', that was slow and gentle and conversational, and would provide kids an oasis the way they had as children,” she told Newstalk ZB's Jack Tame. They've released nine new episodes over the last month or so, and Cato says they've already been getting amazing feedback from parents. “So many of our kids are, you know, so used to, to a faster pace,” she said. “We are getting feedback that the programme is still engaging kids, so that they will be zooming around the room and then they'll come to sit down and actually enjoy some interaction with Auntie Suzy.” 33 years is a bit of a gap, but it was easy enough for Cato to get back into the swing of things when making this new season. “We were very, very lucky – Rex Simpson was an amazing creator,” she told Tame Simpson was the executive producer and director behind programmes like ‘What Now', ‘Play School', and of course, ‘You and Me'. “[He] created such good templates,” Cato explained. “So it was easy to use that template, and we didn't have to change a thing basically." Suzy received a little birthday surprise when she came in for the chat. LISTEN ABOVE See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Alan sits down with Broadway producer Brian Anthony Moreland for a candid, high-energy conversation about the realities of commercial theatre. Brian shares the fascinating story of how he caught the theatre bug playing Santa Claus in the third grade , his formative years at a performing arts boarding school , and his early career as a non-union dancer dealing with the exhausting audition grind in New York City. He opens up about the pivotal moment he decided to pivot to producing, starting with a grueling five-and-a-half-year journey to bring Thoughts of a Colored Man to Broadway. Alan and Brian pull back the curtain on the industry's economic pressures, debating Broadway financials, escalating production costs, and what it truly takes to balance commercial viability with meaningful, artistic storytelling. The conversation centers deeply on Brian's extraordinary relationship with the work of August Wilson. He recalls the serendipitous train ride to Pittsburgh that led to him producing the record-breaking revival of The Piano Lesson , and how Denzel Washington personally asked him to lead-produce his next Wilson project. Brian breaks down the profound themes of identity, healing, and family preservation driving his latest production at the Barrymore Theatre, Joe Turner's Come and Gone, sharing delightful insights into working with legendary director Debbie Allen and the joyful, nurturing energy that stars Taraji P. Henson and Cedric the Entertainer bring to the rehearsal room. Finally, Brian takes on the 60-second plot challenge, pitches a classic musical, and reflects on the timeless power of theatre as a space where you can be anything. Brian Anthony Moreland is a transformative Broadway producer dedicated to shaping the contemporary cultural landscape through visionary, inclusive storytelling. Originally from California, he began his career as a performer before transitioning into producing. His impressive Broadway repertoire includes the ground-breaking global hit Othello starring Denzel Washington and Jake Gyllenhaal, the record-breaking revival of August Wilson's The Piano Lesson, The Wiz, The Lifespan of a Fact, Sea Wall / A Life, and The Sound Inside. A respected industry leader, Moreland serves on the Board of Governors of The Broadway League, where he co-chairs the Multicultural Task Force. He also holds leadership roles as a Trustee for Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS, a Trustee of The American Academy of Dramatic Arts, a Board Director for NYC Tourism and Conventions, and is an active member of the Theatre Development Fund (TDF).

Ella Langley didn't just have a good ACM Awards night, she turned it into a full-on statement. We're breaking down the 61st Annual Academy of Country Music Awards from Las Vegas with Shania Twain hosting, Cody Johnson grabbing Entertainer of the Year, and a wave of winners that makes you ask what country music is rewarding right now. We talk through the biggest moments, the funniest bits, and the kinds of wins that feel like the format finally caught up to the fans.Then we zoom out into the bigger music industry trends behind the headlines. Why does “traditional country” suddenly feel like a flex again, and why does that make some Nashville decision-makers nervous? We also hit a fast music news run across country and rock, including reunion-tour culture, documentary buzz, and the ongoing fight for artist ownership after Avenged Sevenfold regains rights to key recordings. If you care about master recordings, catalog value, and creative control, you'll want to hear this part.We keep it interactive with our question of the day: what artist or band had you hooked from the first time you heard them? From Ozzy to Journey to Live and a pile of listener answers, it turns into a real-time map of musical first loves. After that, we rip through the country and rock chart countdowns and finish with trivia night chaos as Tiffany tries to redeem herself against Mark.Subscribe so you don't miss the next live hang, share this with a friend who argues about awards shows, and leave us a review.

Volodymyr Zelenskyy and the Evolution of Ukrainian IdentityVolodymyr Zelenskyy, a Russian-speaking Jewish entertainer and businessman, represents a shift toward a civic Ukrainian identity rather than an ethnic one. His 2019 election victory was rooted in a desire for an outsider to fix the failing political system and find a path to peace with Moscow. Because of his background, Zelenskyy initially believed he could negotiate directly with Putin. His presidency highlights that being Ukrainian is now defined by a commitment to the state rather than language or religion, directly contradicting Putin's "one people" myth. Guest: Professor Eugene Finkel. (6/8)1890
