Its really happening!  Season 6 is upon us and what better way to get things kicked off than to invite Dana Vicich to sit on the mics with us (for the 3rd time?!).  He's got some new credentials this time - Newly minted Head of Operations at Climo Disc golf.  He gives us the full run-down on how it all started, what it has taken this far to get a fledgling disc golf company to take flight, and what its like working one-on-one with Ken Climo - one of the greatest to ever play the game.  The guys settle back into the groove after a long off season and try to work out a few of the kinks in getting this show on video as well - check it out on the youtube channel! @unstablediscoursepodcastSean conquers another hole at Dellwood, and Alex just wants to start playing again.  Ryan goes on a quest, and Jason just likes holding his (compact) disc in his hand.  

Unpacking the “Facts of Life” finale.

Episode 315: “Everything I Ever Learned About TV Writing, I Learned From ‘The Facts Of Life' | Anupam Nigam”The Facts of Learning about Television Writing from The Facts of LifeThe Golden Girls of Eastland: TV Writer Anupam Nigam Shares His Lessons from The Facts Of LifeThe Golden Girls of Eastland: Top Lessons TV Writer Anupam Nigam Learned from The Facts Of Life For some people, a childhood spent lounging in front of the television leads to nothing but being sent to bed when Law and Order license plate comes on. But for Anupam Nigam, it led to a lifelong love of television – – and a successful career in TV writing and producing.  And his favorite show of all? The Facts of Life! The Facts of Life was a spin-off of Diff'rent Strokes and aired on NBC from 1979-1988. The show starred Charlotte Rae as Eastland School for Girls housemother Edna Garrett watching over an evolving cast of young female stars including Kim Fields, Mindy Cohn, Nancy McKeon and a very young Molly Ringwald! It ran for more than 200 episodes, and spawned three TV movies. Anupam Nigam has written and produced episodes of hit TV shows like Psych, Defiance, Cruel Summer, Mech-X4 and Station 19. He is currently writer and co-executive producer of the hit CBS drama Fire Country. Susan and Sharon talk with Anupam about his childhood as an Indian American kid in New Jersey, his early love of television, the insight of The Facts of Life -- and the facts he learned that have stayed with him to this day. THE CONVERSATIONGROWING UP INDIAN -- IN NEW JERSEY: For Anupam, who was raised in an immigrant Indian household, television was a window into the wider world of “American” families - and how they were alike, and different from, his.“I'M NOT A DOCTOR, BUT I WRITE FOR THEM ON TV” -- Anupam was pre-med, a lab researcher, and even a certified EMT -- briefly -- before realizing that TV blood was more his style.Anupam's first script was a spec episode of Star Trek: Voyager -- and after that he was hooked.Anupam's “scientist mind” cracked the code on how to write a Law & Order script, and it led to a coveted spot in the Warner Bros Writers Program -- and then a big move to Hollywood!His first job was on The Division -- starring Facts of Life's Nancy McKeon!YOU TAKE THE GOOD, YOU TAKE THE VERY, VERY BAD: Anupam actually learned about the facts of life from the many “very special” episodes The Facts of Life: Abortion, divorce, drug abuse and death, anyone?Natalie was a natural STAR - When Charlotte Rae toured Westlake School for research, her young tour guide was… Mindy Cohn. Charlotte insisted the producers meet her and the role of Natalie was created for her!Those roller-skates? Tootie had to wear them to make her taller!CHEAPER BY THE… TEN? The original first season cast had TEN main characters - The seven girls, Mrs. Garett (Charlotte Rae), teacher Emily Mahoney (Jenny O'Hara) and Headmaster Stephen Bradley (played by John Lawlor). The OG Eastlake students: Blair Warner (Lisa Whelchel), Nancy Olsen (Felice Schachter), Sue Anne Weaver (Julie Piekarski), Tootie Ramsey (Kim Fields), Molly Parker (Molly Ringwald), Cindy Webster (Julie Anne Haddock) and Natalie Green (Mindy Cohn).…AND THEN THERE WERE FOUR. After season one, the young cast was cut from seven girls down to the “Core Four”: Lisa Whelchel as Blair, Kim Fields as Tootie, Mindy Cohn as Natalie and bringing on newcomer Nancy McKeon as Jo Polniaczek.So, join Susan and Sharon -- and Anupam! -- as they talk Shondaland, The Golden Girls, shoulder pads, tea-time, Jermaine Jackson, Mech x4, Geri Jewel, Entertainment Weekly -- and “Who Shot J.R?”! AUDIO-OGRAPHY Follow Anupam Nigam: Instagram.com/anupamnigam1 and Twitter.com/anupamnigam Watch Season 4 of The Facts of Life for free at Roku.Watch Fire Country on CBS.  Check out CitizensforEthics.org Buy Democracy Awakening by Heather Cox Richardson at Bookshop.org PLUS -- “80's TV LADIES” MERCH is available at our SHOP!    CONNECTVisit 80sTVLadies.com for transcripts.Join the conversation at Facebook.com/80sTVLadies.Sign up for the 80s TV Ladies mailing list.In Honor of President Carter and to learn more about his presidency: Get Susan's new play about him and his Crisis of Confidence speech: Confidence (and the Speech) at Broadway Licensing. BREAKING NEWS! We're NOMINATED by The Podcast Academy Ambies for Best Indie Hosts!  Podcast Academy members, please VOTE for 80s TV Ladies at The Podcast Acadey voting.

My guest is perhaps best known for appearing on the first season of "The Facts of Life". We discussed why she did not continue as a regular, her other show business appearances, why she left the industry, and much more.  

Are you looking for comfort, distraction, hope or optimism? We are serving it up with recommendations to soothe, calm and quiet your spirit, plus two inspirational guests! Andrew Jameson is a writer/producer/director who brings his skillset to his advocacy work and Norman Lear biographer Tripp Whetsell joins us to celebrate a life and a body of work that continues to inform, inspire and amuse generations.Andrew's new project Faces of the City is a series of six documentary shorts which focus on critical community organizing work that is addressing social and economic challenges facing San Francisco's most vulnerable residents. Andrew shares his insights into ways in which the wealthy tech sector, at-risk populations and the city's unique history and culture can unite to forge a balance that would result in more favorable outcomes for all Bay Area citizens.Then, author/journalist Tripp Whetsell joins the conversation to discuss his new book, Norman Lear: His Life and Times. Deeply steeped in Lear Lore, Tripp teaches a class on Mr. Lear at his almamater Emerson College. His richly researched biography traces the groundbreaking writer/producer's life from his bumpy childhood with a criminal father through his 52 combat missions over Nazi-occupied territory and across his wide swath of history making television.We get into all of the All in the Family controversies from its provocative scripts to the epic standoffs between Mr. Lear and Caroll O'Connor. From there,Tripp takes us through the spinoffs: Maude and The Jeffersons, to the spinoffs of spinoffs: The Facts Of Life and Diff'rent Strokes. Each one, a trailblazer, boldly addressing themes like race, class, bigotry, feminism, divorce, homosexuality, rape, mixed marriage and  menopause. Mr. Lear's remarkable cocktail of capabilities included creativity, business instincts, courage under pressure, casting genius and a unique ability to foster relationships with the network execs and censors who came to understand that his controversial content translated into buzz, influence and profits!Plus the whole Media Path team is recommending content to stream while you avoid the news, curl up and sip something soothing.Path Points of Interest:Andrew Jameson on IMDBFaces of the City TrailerTripp WhetsellNorman Lear: His Life & Times Tripp Whetsell Amazon Author PageTripp Whetsell Book Soup SigningAbbott ElementaryNobody Wants ThisGilmore GirlsHigh Potential on ABC/HuluTravelers on NetflixDark on NetflixThe O.C.MatlockElsbethParks & RecreationReligion, Democracy and the 2024 Election with Brad Onishi

Geri Jewell is a Comedian/Actor/Motivational Speaker/Author and (thanks to Norman Lear) the trailblazing first person with a visible disability to appear as a TV show regular! Geri went straight from special ed to special treatment as a Facts of Life cast member, portraying Blair's Cousin Geri and providing essential representation for kids growing up and living with Cerebral Palsy. Geri's life and career have always been an inspiration, as evidenced by her brand new coffee table book 'Geri's Jewels & Gems', which will provide you with a fresh, positive perspective on the inevitable hardships and struggles we all face. Brace for Geri's sunny outlook, grit and determination to shift your mood and encourage you to pursue your own dreams! As a child, Geri's imagination took her to Wimbledon, standup comedy stages and Hollywood. She was soon exchanging letters with Carol Burnett, performing at the Comedy Store and playing doubles with John McEnroe and Arthur Ash! Her mother had warned her, “Be careful what you wish for.” Geri teaches us that kids with disabilities often grow up emotionally stunted because so much emphasis is placed on their physical development. Cast in an NBC sitcom at the age of 23, Geri was a rich target for unscrupulous managers and “friends.” She frequently lost her way while being misunderstood, underestimated and searching for the courage to live an openly gay life. The physical beating of Cerebral Palsy can be very painful and poor balance leads to debilitating falls. Geri was recovering from back and neck surgery, waiting in line at CVS to purchase botox for her neck pain when David Milch approached her and felt inspired to cast her in Deadwood! Your next miracle could be just around the corner! Geri talks to us about her first inspirational book called I'm Walking As Straight As I Can, her determination to defy expectations, how CP has provided her with unique insights into the human condition and her intention to help others reach their potential. Then Geri's best friend, hearing impaired comedian Kathy Buckley joins us on the panel  to share more truly adorable anecdotes and adventures. Plus, Fritz and Weezy are recommending My Brilliant Friend on HBO and Daughters on Netflix.Path Points of Interest:Geri JewellGeri Jewell on WikiI'm Walking As Straight As I Can by Geri JewellGeri's Jewels and Gems by Gery JewellGeri Jewell on YoutubeGeri Jewell at Ability MagazineGeri Jewell on FacebookKathy BuckleyKathy Buckley on InstagramMy Brilliant Friend on HBODaughters - NetflixMedia Path PodcastGift Of Democracy

We know about Thoreau and Walden. Who knew his writing contained poetic ways of seeing the inner world of the mind and the heart? Jan shares the story of Thoreau's personal relationship with his mentor's wife and how it led him to discover that connecting to another human being can be a way to "splice the heavens?"

On today's show, I return to my Facts of Life series. I examine the humanity of the unborn according to science. Then I look at what the Bible says about the value of ALL people and how we can boldly and compassionately continue the fight for life! Listen and be thankful!!!

Comedian Jen Kober always knew why she felt an affinity with Mindy Cohn's Natalie on The Facts of Life. Natalie was the rare bigger girl on TV in the 1980s, and yet that wasn't a huge part of her character -- she was smart, goofy, and beloved by her friends. As for Jodie Foster's tomboy teen in the original Freaky Friday movie? Sure, it was good to see a rough-housing girl at odds with her mom for not being girly enough. But there was just something else about young Jodie Foster that made sense... Presented with our apologies to any emotionally intelligent men out there ;) The Jordan has one quick thing about the new trailer for Y2KJen's special is called 'No Flies on Me,' From 800 Pound Gorilla Media. You can find out where she's performing next at her website.  ***With Jordan Crucchiola and Jen Kober

In the latest installment of Casual August, writer and educator Larissa Phillips joins the pod to respond to the August 2 interview with Vanessa Grigoriadis, who theorized that childless cat ladies were secretly happier than moms, especially moms raising young children while caring for aging parents. Larissa related to much of what Vanessa said, but she had several things to add, including her later-in-life recognition that early motherhood makes more sense than later-in-life motherhood — and, what's more, single motherhood might not be as cool and easy as 1980s media made it out to be. A GenXer who grew up steeped in second-wave feminism, Larissa now advises her 20-something daughter to marry and start a family early, which is pretty much the opposite of what her own mom advised. In this conversation, Larissa (who was a guest on A Special Place In Hell back in March) explores how her thinking evolved, why her friends were shocked when she got pregnant at 29 (practically a teen mom!), how divorce rates in the 1970s and 80s made an entire generation wary of the nuclear family, and why she invokes Jordan Peterson when she explains to her daughter that being “high value” has a lot to do with being young. She and Meghan also wrestle with whether the hyper-professional, hyper-independent feminist ethos internalized by Gen Xers and millennials will end up being something of a blip in time in the history of civilization. Larissa also talks about joining The Unspeakeasy at its upcoming retreat in Woodstock, NY this October. GUEST BIO Larissa Phillips is the founder and director of the Volunteer Literacy Project, a NPO that teaches reading to adults using a phonics-based curriculum. She also runs an educational program on her family farm in Upstate New York. She can be found on X (@larissaphillip) and Instagram (@honeyhollowfarmstay) and Substack, where she writes about farming, animals, and life as a lapsed Progressive living in Trumpland.

Noel catches up with Geri Jewell. The author, actor and comedian is out with her new book, Geri's Jewels & Gems, it is a collection of Geri Jewell's columns she wrote for Ability Magazine over six years, as well as fun photos from Geri's life that she chose herself. Geri is best known for portraying Cousin Geri on The Facts of LIfe. She was the first person with a disability to have a regular role on a prime time series. She began her career doing stand up comedy at the Comedy Store in 1978. Geri played Jewel, on HBO's Deadwood.

First, Adam welcomes comedian and musician Reggie Watts to the show as they first get into the lugubrious process of a colonoscopy, Reggie's background growing up in a military family, the surreal influences for Reggie's style like Monty Python, stories about getting suspended from school, the issues with unexplained rules with people in authority, and the differences between men and women when confronted with a gap in knowledge. Next, executive producer Joe Praino joins Adam and Reggie to discuss some news, where they get into Nikki Glaser needing to take a cleanse after participating in Tom Brady's Roast (and whether Nikki stole a joke in her latest special), how a “Facts of Life” reunion has been derailed by one star's request for more money, a lawsuit over the origin of Flamin' Hot Cheetos, and how a priest is suing Grindr for being outed on their app. Lastly, Adam welcomes actors Bryan Greenberg and Victor Rasuk of HBO's How to Make it in America to discuss their new hustle podcast We (Almost) Made It, as they talk about never being able to finish a conversation under anesthesia, Adam's semi-controversial advice to raising twins, what the acting world is like in the modern day, and the complications of AI in the creative sphere.

In keeping with the 80s sitcom theme from last week, the Special Ladies bring some serious tea about the Facts of Life reboot. Stefanie is too smart to watch crime dramas and Cecily cries at a musical. Plus more, of course!

Geri Jewell is a comedian, actor and author who just happens to have cerebral palsy. When she crossed paths with legendary TV producer Norman Lear, her life changed forever and so did ours. Her portrayal of Cousin Geri on The Facts of Life was a ratings bonanza. She's gone on to many other projects but stand up comedy has always been her happy place. Her new book, Geri's Jewels & Gems spotlights the many columns she has written over the years and proves there is no stopping any of us when we set our mind to something we are passionate about. We talk about her first time on stage at just 18 months old all the way to her final meeting with Lear at his home where Dustin Hoffman just also happened to show up - only in Hollywood. Geri is the definition of inspiration. And she's also a damn good hilarious time. ------------------------ Steve's second novel, MURDER UNMASKED, is ready for pre-order!
