But beyond their iconic careers, the Grants are parents to four neurodivergent children, making them the perfect guests to explore what a neurodivergent Christmas looks like.In this chat with Ben, Carrie and David share why Christmas should come with zero expectations, the importance of unmasking as neurodivergent parent, why they allow their children to “walk away” on Christmas Day, the reality of gift-giving to neurodivergent children and the changes they hope to see in 2025._____________________________________On "The Hidden 20%," host Ben Branson chats with neurodivergent [ADHD, Autism, Dyscalculia, Dyslexia, Dyspraxia, Tourette's etc.] creatives, entrepreneurs, and experts to see how great minds.. think differently.

https://notesonfilm1.com/2024/11/08/the-gus-van-sant-podcast-5-richard-drew-on-to-die-for-1995/ I very much wanted to speak to the wonderful Richard Drew about TO DIE FOR (Gus Van Sant, 1995). Richard has a degree in Film and Literature so knows something about film, yet unusually for the guests on this podcast, he is not a Gus Van Sant fan. More importantly, Richard is a television producer, now based in Los Angeles, but who got his start on the ground floor of Reality TV in England and has worked on BIG BROTHER, SECOND SURVIVOR, FAME ACADEMY, and many more. He is now SVP of Development at Law and Crime Productions, specialising in True Crime Documentaries. His latest work, JAILBREAK: LOVE ON THE RUN is currently on Netlfix. All of this to say he is ideally suited to speak to the film's main themes. In the podcast we discuss how TO DIE FOR draws on the talk show culture of the era (Oprah, Geraldo, Sally Jesse Raphael, Phil Donahue) as well as the rise of celebrity culture in print (PEOPLE, US) and Television (ENTERTAINMENT TONIGHT). It's a film that's very much about not only a grasping for fame, but for television and televisual fame. We talk of the performances, the film's form and structure, how it's a story complexly told but in a manner that's experienced as simple and direct. All this and much more can be heard in the podcast above:

Carrie and David Grant are the BAFTA award-winning power couple, broadcasters and vocal coaches to the stars. If, like me, you remember the early noughties reality song contest Fame Academy, they were the expert vocal coaches that helped the likes of Lemar find their voice. Their TV and music career has spanned over 35 years winning them a MOBO award and has seen them write a revealing memoir 'A Very Modern Family' which charts their parenting experiences in a neuro diverse family. What then will these musical aficionados choose as their shared Inheritance Tracks.

Our guests today are David and Carrie Grant, who have so much to share on today's theme of communication. It's one of the first things to break down when relationships are challenged, and as a couple who have lived, loved, parented and worked together for more than two decades, they have a lot of wisdom to share about how have they coped during their many ups and downs. David and Carrie have worked in entertainment for as long as they've been together, coaching pop luminaries such as Take That and the Spice Girls, as well as presenting and coaching on shows such as Fame Academy and The One Show. They are also the authors of ‘A Very Modern Family – Stories and Guidance to Nurture Your Relationships' which explores their dynamics as a mixed-race couple and parents to four children – one of whom is adopted. Their challenges include mental health issues, neurodivergence, non-binary identities and various sexualities.   It's a lot. And as you'll hear in today's show, it is love, humour, compassion and communication that keeps them on track.

Rosetta Cucchi, Artistic Director of the Wexford Festival Opera, discusses the 2024 Wexford Factory as the auditions for singers and pianists begin.

Well, what a lovely reunion this was. 18 years after I first interviewed Carrie and David Grant when they were on Fame Academy we meet again. And what a conversation!Not only do they guide me through the most significant risks they've navigated, including whether or not to have children when they were so happy just the two of them, but they also describe what it's been like navigating parenting four neurodivergent children, three who identify as non-binary or trans and who have struggled with their mental health.They were when I met them nearly two decades ago, warm, compassionate and generous and they are precisely the same all these later and want nothing more than to share what they've learned with others.Carrie & David's book A Very Modern Family is available now.To join the closed Facebook group for the podcast click here >> The Emma Guns Show Forum.To follow me on social media >> Twitter | Instagram.Watch clips from the podcast >> Youtube | The Emma Guns ShowSign up for my newsletter here >> Newsletter.

In this episode, Chris talks to the singer-songwriter Lemar who was first introduced to music fans via the BBC television show Fame Academy. Following his successful appearance there came a string of hit singles, awards and millions of record sales. Apart from a covers album back in 2015, he's been keeping a low profile of late. But after a wait of 11 years, he's returned with "Page In My Heart", a new album of original material. In Chris' company, Lemar discusses the music he heard at home growing up and how losing his mother inspired him to pursue a musical career, why touring means so much to him and how hard it is for an artist to maintain mystique in the social media age.

Twenty years on from his debut double-platinum album, Dedicated, Lemar is back with a new album, Page In My Heart. The three-time Mobo and two-time BRIT Award winner reflects on Fame Academy, the highs and lows of his time in the music industry, and the meaning behind the tracks on his new album.

It's all happening in Episode 8: a cosmic princess on a bendy stilt, men wearing grandpa knickers, and incredibly well-rehearsed barstool choreography. What more could you want? Kate Miller-Heidke starts things off in style with a perfect mix of pop, opera and madness, before Armenia's Sirusho delivers a dance-floor filler. We are also enchanted by the folky vibes of groundbreaking Åsa Kleveland performing in Eurovision's first ever trouser-suit and fondly discuss the legendary Carrie Grant, judge on the brilliant Fame Academy, who represented the UK back in 1986 as part of pop trio Sweet Dreams. The iconic Go_A's Shum is a worthy entrant in the bridesmaid slot and we particularly celebrate the song's ding moment, while we consider Cyndi to be a better choice than Scooch to go to Eurovision in 2007 even if she does strike us as a serial plagiarist! Thanks to JonWatt867 for this recommendation. Finally, the Randomiser is chaotically on brand taking us back to 2005 for an obscure Croatian entry about wolves dying alone. All life is here, including lots of mullets and acrobats. You have been warned!

Some Losers are worth mentioning, and some aren't. This episode is all about those ones that are! From X Factor and Fame Academy, all the way across the pond to American Idol, George and Em hope they'll be able to bring some nostalgia to your week with this talent show losers special. Also it's our birthday, we are 1 today. ONE WHOLE YEAR OF SONGS FOR WHEN. Who let us do this?

So, where were you in 2004?The pop charts were as fast moving as Dame Kelly Holmes in Athens and every week brought another selection of shiny pop hits. 29 tracks topped the charts across the twelve months as pop buyers rushed to purchase the newest CD singles from their latest favourites. And unless you were the sparring, fall-out potty mouthed pair Eamon or Frankee , it was generally a one week reign at No.1! Phew!The airwaves and TV reigned supreme in making and breaking the big hits of the year. Reality was biting all over the place; Chris Moyles and Terry Wogan were having breakfast with us daily whilst championing their own brands of hit makers such as Jungle champion Peter Andre (again!) and Katie Melua on the Beeb, whilst ITV was delivering a second slice of star making with Pop Idol. Michelle? Sam and Mark? And let's not forget Fame Academy's Alex and Alistair (you may already have)! The Svengali spotlight was shining brightly - if briefly - on plenty of 15 minute pop stars in 2004.Britney was back with Toxic (and lots of left over wedding cake), Pharrell was producing just about everyone. Cover versions (and the instruction manual Cha Cha Slide!) were filling the dancefloor, Love Actually was delivering hits for Girls Aloud and Sugababes and both Keane and Snow Patrol opened their accounts with some mobile phone waving anthems that we'd hear again in different forms over the years!Frank Ferdinand and Scissor Sisters too! Huge hits and even huger (is that even a word?) albums indicated that 2004 was a year of contrasts, contradictions, pace and change. Music was bristling but it was never boring! Oh, and don't forget your NOW ringtones people!Join Radio 2 producer David Manero and I as we head back to the noughties to explore NOW57; the hits, the misses and everything else in between.And find out why Kelly, Ozzy and DJ Casper probably won't be returning our (Nokia 3310) phone calls.

My guest today is an award winning comedian TV and radio broadcaster. He's known to millions through shows like Fame Academy, The One Show and he was recently nominated for a BAFTA for his documentary ‘My Dad The Peace Deal and Me’. I am talking today with Patrick Kielty…..

Baby Spice Emma Bunton may not have released much music but she was busy having babies, designing childrens clothing, nappy and products as well as hosting popular reality programmes in the UK and US. All whilst maintaining a steady radio presenting career on Heart FM.   It’s an exciting start to this era for Baby – because she has a baby. Her first, Beau, born in 2007.   2009 – Emma starts her stint on Heart FM. She covers a couple of shifts and is rewarded with her on Saturday drive time slot. She pre-records because Baby has better places to be than a stuffy studio on a Saturday evening.   2010 – She joins the judging panel of Dancing On Ice. She did 2 series. It was a little controversial at the time. People wondered, with no ice skating background, what she could possibly provide as a judge. But she was praised for locking horns with chief judge Jason Gardiner and not being afraid to make unpopular comments. She said it helped her shed her Baby Spice tag…. Because she became Sassy Spice. Here are some of her best put downs: She sure has. On the third show she told GMTV's Dr Hilary Jones: "I literally couldn't breathe through the whole dance and when you lifted her I felt physically sick, I was so nervous for you both. "I just didn't enjoy it and I'm glad you were smiling because I wasn't." The next week she said of Emily Atack's performance: "I just thought it looked messy, unsteady. I felt like you were being dragged around. You are improving but very little." Then, in show seven, she told Sharron Davies: "It's a little bit like déjà vu for me, with a different outfit each week." 2011 – Baby Tate. To celebrate she launched her own baby range with reputable fashion retailer, Argos. Much bigger than the capsule Geri knocked out with Next….. this was a 99 piece collection. Her eldest Beau was modelling the collection – following in his Mamas footsteps, because one of her first jobs was a child model in the argos catalogue. I bet she was a proper cherubic little model. All blonde ringlets and chubby cheeks. 2011 – She really commits to Heart FM. Covers maternity leave for Harriet Scott on Breakfast, hosting alongside her old sparring partner – Jamie Theakston. Breakfast is a big shift. It’s a high profile position, a lot of responsibility and hardwork. Its all early mornings and beaming smiles. But Baby does a good job; she ends up taking over the spot permanently and doing it for 5 years. Until 2018. 2012 – She did the previously mentioned Mel C duet, I know him so well….. Which I think is just lovely of them to work together. The video is beautiful, if a little boring, of them just hugging. Interview quotes they described the song as “having the spirit of spice”. 2013  was a big year for Emma Bunton – not only did she win Foxy Bingo Celebrity Mother of the Year award she had a new tv show. “Your face sounds familiar” – it’s a bit Stars in their eyes. 6 celebrities portray famous singers, chosen at random, to win £10,000 for their chosen charity. They’re trained by Yvie Burnett – who is the second best vocal coach in the world. After Carrie from Fame Academy. Its all very Saturday night cringe – filing the spots between X Factor and Ant&Dec. 2014 - Jade Jones appears on “Big Reunion”. Baby named as ‘Lead Singer’ of the group. Link for the image: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0S4opaSrTHI 2017 – She appeared on the judging panel of new American reality show, BoyBand, which sought to find the new big BoyBand. She appeared alongside Nick Carter, Timbaland. Hosted by Rita Ora.             Best bit was towards the end they did a judges medley, with the contestants. Emma completes a flawless rendition of Say You’ll Be There. Of course she does. If only Rita were so lucky. She tries to join Timbaland for “Way I Are” and it is car crash.             They create the band “In Real Life”….. who have released 6 singles since in the past 18 months. One charting. It’s a start.  2018 – She becomes the host of American version of Great British Bake Off. Guardian had a great tagline: Contesants will have to dust it, make it, proof it, bake it – show her how good they are   We find her back recording, Studio Spice. More than a decade after her previous effort. Signed a deal with BMG records – who tend to focus on publishing rights and legacy artists. She is a songwriter with a legacy…. What a home.   Does mean her time is short. She has to say goodbye to Heart Breakfast. 5 year stint, successfully so. Award winning stint. Including “Radio presenter of the year” and “digital radio programme” at the TRIC awards. But they do give her a Sunday night slot (bet that is a pre-record). She knows how to keep a foot in the door (must be easy to work with if they keep you on that long).   Which makes room for her to finally get married! After 8 years of being engaged.

She gave you the finger, you took her to dinner, and you made her laugh. Its time to respectthe painfully derailed second solo career of Geraldine Estelle Halliwell.--------------------------------------------------------------- Welcome back to Pod of the Pops.Just like an apple, cut down the middle, she only has one matching half…….. If you don’tknow the lyrics I’m referencing then THIS podcast is going to be an EYEOPENER for you. The second Geri Halliwell career is really a long road of threats to release an album. She hits more road bumps than Rita Ora.Start the podcast in true Geri style….. an interview in The Guardian where she denouncesherself as a feminist: “For me, feminism is bra-burning lesbianism. It's very unglamorous...Weneed to see a celebration of our femininity and softness”Constantly comes back to her not knowing what her greatest assets are. I used to pictureher as a great speaker, politically engaging but actually – she is a monkey at a typewriter.If you type a thousand scripts, eventually one will say SpiceWorld. Example: I'm learning every day as a mother. I'm learning that she's like a flowerthat thrives when it gets sunlight, and the sunlight is confidence, and I feel thatwhen I'm confident it gives her self-esteem. And that gives me motivation to go onand be the best.……I, I, I, i…. iSpice On 12 April 2007, it was announced that Halliwell had signed a six-book deal with MacmillanChildrens Books. The books follow the adventures of nine-year-old Ugenia, a character basedon Halliwell,  alongside her friends Bronte, Rudy, and Trevor.Each title feature a newsletter from Ugenia highlighting lessons she has learned, along withquizzes, riddles and crosswords, and available in an audio book edition read by Halliwell. Geri described it as “The rebith of girl power. Handing on the baton through a different medium.(If she has handed on the baton it would explain the next 7 years)There were rumours Geri had based one of the characters, Princess Posh Vattoria on her fellowbandmate, Mrs Victoria Beckham. Another character is called David Bockham. Not the mostcunning disguise, it is. She loves an obvious dance move; she loves an obvious character name.She appeared in early drafts but removed.  According to the official site, the book sold more than 250,000 copies in its first 5 months, makingHalliwell 2008s most successful female celebrity childrens author.In September 2009, Halliwell, in her role as a Goodwill Ambassador of UNFPA, visited Nepal tohelp launch a national campaign to stop violence against womenIn 2009, she also makes a movie cameo. In the Jason Statham action comedy, Crank: HighVoltage. It’s a sequel in which Chev Chelios must electrocute himself regularly to stay alive –whilst a group of assassins take out hits on his life.Geri appears in a flashback; as the role of Jason Stathams mother. (I am assuming they usedthe scene from SpiceWorld where they play mothers as their inspiration). Clip. Clip.Now – I know this is just a bit of fun BUT can we discuss, for a moment, the role Geri playedin early feminism. And the irony then, that in 2009 she would appear in a film the Guardianaccussed of “extreme misogyny and racism” and “although nothing should be off limits incomedy” it amounts to “flashy, arrogant, emptiness”. Now, I haven’t seen 2010 had the makings of a big year for Geri. She has put wheels in motion; Scream if youwanna go faster. We start getting a lot of “Geri is coming back to music”. This is 5 years afterher last album (2005 Passion).March: Vocal coach Carrie Grant, famous as one half of the husband-wife team that coachedcontestants on reality TV show Fame Academy is being interviewed on The Alan Titchmarshshow (all big names) and she says Geri is working on a return to music.

Jimmy Osmond is only 53 - but has 50 years of showbiz under his belt. How does he do it? Maria MacLennan trained as jewellery designer but found her way, unexpectedly, into a very different (if related) field. She's now developed a career as a forensic jeweller, sent for to reunite owners with jewellery, but also, in the event of disasters like a plane crash, or a building collapse, to reunite owners with their identities when dental records or DNA may not be forthcoming. And to capture the stories that jewellery tells about owners, relationships, family histories. The choreographer was Dougie Squires, who in seven decades has worked with around ten thousand dancers, is best known for the Second Generation. Now Dougie's come out of retirement with seventy five of those dancers to celebrate Dame Vera Lynn's 100th Birthday. We sent JP Devlin, whose running man at Belfast's Sugar Sweet helped define the Northern Ireland of the early nineties, to meet Dougie during a break in the rehearsals. If you're like Aasmah and have finally acquired a garden, then you know that you should be planting stuff in it around now. But what if you're not sure where to start? Hollie Newton was a stressed-out agency worker who started planting things in a window box and making lots of mistakes. These days she knows what she's doing and has written a book for people like me who haven't a clue, containing useful jargon-free chapters like 'Things I Wouldn't Bloody Bother With' and 'Overplanting Compulsion Disorder'... Tony Prince the disc jockey began his working life as a real jockey, an apprentice with Willie Carson. But it was with spinning discs rather than racing nags that he made his name, on the pirate ship Caroline and then at Radio Luxembourg, before going to a glittering career in dance music. Back then he was already one of the most enterprising of DJs, touring Czechoslovakia in the Communist era, when deviating from the party line was dealt with ruthlessly. He met there a young railway worker called Jan Sestak, a secret pop fan and aspiring DJ, a risky business back. They have been friends for over forty years and they've written a book - "The Royal Ruler and The Railway DJ". The Inheritance Tracks Fearne Cotton - DJ, presenter, 20 years in showbiz - says it's time to slow down a bit and appreciate the simple things in life. This is someone who started in TV at the age of 15 after winning a competition to present The Disney Club. 20 years on, she has worked on Fame Academy, Top of the Pops, Children in Need, The BRIT Awards and of course Radio 1. But Fearne recently talked about her experience of depression and described how she used to put on a fake smile and go into "robot mode" to do her job. We asked her to chill out while she picked her inheritance tracks. Fearne's tracks were (Good Times Bad Times) Led Zeppelin & (Rocket Man) Elton John (Rocket Man) Editor: Eleanor Garland.
