Hey, quilters! This episode Is packed with updates from Leslie and Rochelle, kicking off with a fun chat about Leslie's new, fatefully-located table and chairs, perfect for future in-person podcast guests. Rochelle shared an update on her brave beagle, Birdie, who's being a bit dramatic post-surgery but is on the mend—sending all the good vibes her way! On the sewing front, Rochelle is a binding machine, having completed seven quilts and diving deep into big stitch binding techniques from Rachel Rossi, including the cool-sounding forward slash and blanket stitches. Leslie also brought the laughs with a hilarious story about her two-year-old granddaughter's reaction to a skating Santa. The conversation then shifted to the amazing Jenny, who's currently on a two-year mission in Africa, bringing joy and sewing skills to the community, even though they're missing her dearly during the holidays. Leslie and Rochelle also bonded over their creative updates, discussing everything from Rochelle's latest pet portraits and her package from her friend, Toula, to Leslie's plans for displaying their issue of Quilt Folk magazine. Rochelle shared some handy tips for bag makers, including using Naked Flex Foam and a great stuffing tool, plus a heartwarming success story about a former student heading to Iowa State for family and consumer science education. Finally, they wrapped up with a deeper chat about the movie The Family Stone and Rochelle's insightful new "Borrowed People Theory," reminding everyone to cherish and prioritize connections with loved ones.Send us a textFollow Leslie on Instagram at @leslie_quilts and Rochelle at @doughnutwarrior

Diane Keaton. Craig T. Nelson. Rachel McAdams. Dermott Mulroney. Luke Wilson. With that cast, you'd be expecting a pretty solid Christmas movie. According to our hosts, this movie has some major issues. But, that doesn't mean we weren't able to muster up some serious holiday vibes while breaking this one down. No matter what your opinion is of this 2005 holiday hit, you can't deny that it has a major cultural impact. Join us as we chat about it all and answer the questions, how mean can a Rachel McAdams character be before we demand an apology? And are you really so heartless that you won't shed tears at a dying matriarch even if she's not all that likable? And is it really possible for brothers to swap love interests and remain cool?

Cathy and Todd talk about The Family Stone and why it works so well as “a Christmas movie that isn't really a Christmas movie”. They explore how it's a story about family systems, grief, belonging, and what happens when someone new steps into a familiar and often fragile emotional ecosystem. They get into the best family movies, the most uncomfortable scenes, each character's role, birth order patterns, sibling energy, and the tension Meredith brings into the house. They also look at why this messy and tender story is still such a holiday staple twenty years later.

One of the most under-appreciated works of the 21st century.
On this episode we discover that the titles and descriptions we use make it nearly impossible to know what was talked about on any given episode. We have backed ourselves completely into a corner. To better help in the future, I'm going to list out some topics for help:- Slade- The Family Stone- Dan shirking all responsibility

“Christmas Movies with Shaun”It's Christmas time. Why not invite Shaun to a conversation about something we both like. Christmas movies. We randomly found a list of the top 20 of all time and went from there. Some on the list were obvious, It's a Wonderful Life, Love Actually, A Muppet Christmas Carol, and other more recent ones didn't make the cut like, The Family Stone and The Holiday. There were the earlier ones which I look on fondly, The Grinch Who Stole Christmas, A Charlie Brown Christmas. Not so much for Shaun. His nostalgia is for when he was growing up. Makes sense. It's like a Venn diagram. His, mine, and the ones we both like in the middle like Daddy's Home 2. Then there is the newest contender, Spirited. It's a musical with Will Ferrell and Ryan Reynolds. My bar for this was so low it was on the ground. Not sure why, no offense to either actor. Maybe it was it being yet another Christmas Carol adaptation. Turns out it was better than I expected and I really did enjoy it. Shaun hasn't seen it yet but he's added it to the list of the ones he wants to watch. And I said I'd check out the sequel to A Christmas Story. Who knows, I may add another to my annual viewing list.

One of our favourite Christmas movies of all time is finally getting a sequel, but there’s one reason why we’re now nervous about what it will look like.And Matthew McConaughey has shared an interesting story about what led him to his wife, but was it too much of a sexy overshare? We’re ready to fight to the death over it.Plus, Wicked: For Good has broken box office records across the world, but the movie’s press tour looked wildly different from last year. There’s a reason why the leading ladies are fading into the background, and part of it is linked to Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo’s secret traumas.If you or anyone you know needs support for eating disorders, please contact the Butterfly Foundation National Support Line and online service 1800 ED HOPE (1800 33 4673) or email support@thebutterflyfoundation.org.au.LISTEN NEXT: Our new Watch Party episode talking all things Wicked: For Good is ready for your ears on Apple or Spotify.

Anna has some realizations about returning to the city and whether or not she wants to book a room with anyone in the future. Meanwhile Dre was Love Love Loving seeing all the people, but by Sunday ya girl was down bad. And then there was the saving grace of the Nordstrom cafe, but more on that in the episode. From that to ‘Wicked For Good,' Anna explains why Elphaba's cardigan was the last thing we should be talking about. A sequel to ‘The Family Stone,' is in the works and idk how long we can wait for that. Dre explains her decorating holiday tradition and Anna witnessed a love triangle on her flight back to NYC.

MUSICBack in March, Billy Corgan announced that he would celebrate the 30th anniversary of The Smashing Pumpkins' third album, 1995's Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, with a seven-night run at the Lyric Opera of Chicago. Billed as A Night of Mellon Collie and Infinite Sadness, the first of the seven nights is this Friday and it features Corgan and a group of guest artists backed by the Lyric Opera of Chicago Orchestra and Chorus performing orchestral and operatic versions of the 28 songs from the double album. Tom Morello has bad news for Audioslave fans. He says the surviving members are "no closer" to releasing unheard material featuring late singer Chris Cornell. https://ultimateclassicrock.com/tom-morello-audioslave-unheard-material/ Zach Bryan just posted a long message on Instagram saying that he's been sober for almost two months.

Send us a textA Christmas movie isn't just snow, lights, and a calendar date—it's heart, family, and a story that believes in something. Live from Cape Con 2025, we set a clear, simple test for what counts as a real holiday film and then throw our top five lists into the arena. The crowd jumps in as we put Die Hard on trial, celebrate Elf and The Santa Clause, and argue whether The Nightmare Before Christmas truly earns its December stripes. The Family Stone gets a heartfelt defense as a portrait of grief, love, and tradition, and yes, we square off over the ultimate winner: Home Alone or The Polar Express.You'll hear why some movies feel like December in your bones, how music and recurring motifs turn scenes into rituals, and where nostalgia either deepens meaning or disguises thin storytelling. We talk cozy classics, modern mischief, and the delicate line between “set at Christmas” and “about Christmas.” Along the way we unpack what we actually want from a holiday watch—reunion, redemption, laughter, and that flicker of belief when the house is quiet and the tree is glowing. If you love spirited lists, honest hot takes, and a few surprises, you're in the right place. Hit play, build your own top five, and tell us what we missed.

The United States may have an official day of gratitude every November with Thanksgiving, but for many of us, most every day could be a day of appreciation. A sincere "thank you" is rewarding for everyone: It feels good to say it and it feels good to hear it. However, appreciation can be complicated and "thank you" may come with a twist. Sometimes we're grateful (in hindsight, at least) for the lessons we've learned from difficult people. Sometimes we feel generalized happiness for family and/or friends. Sometimes we're just thankful to no one in particular that we're happy for no reason in particular. And of course sometimes expressions of gratitude are just a cover for dark feelings. In this episode of "How We Heard It" your hosts sift through an array of old and new songs that directly or indirectly express gratitude. Artists include Ariana Grande, Harry Styles, The Kinks, Sly and the Family Stone, The Beatles, Big Star, Natalie Merchant, Taylor Swift, Bob Hope, Elton John, Louis Armstrong, Rihanna, Gwen Stefani, The Beach Boys, Backstreet Boys, Alanis Morissette, James Taylor, Small Faces, Kool & the Gang, U2, Spice Girls, Boyz II Men and many more. Thanks for listening!

Welcome to our all-new collaborative series, "Hidden Levels," in which we team up with 99% Invisible to explore how the world of video games has impacted the world beyond. We'll dive deep into how games are made and designed, exploring everything from the history of the joystick to the faithful recreation of nature in digital spaces. Whether you are a lifelong gamer or have never picked up a controller, "Hidden Levels" uncovers how games have quietly changed culture, technology, and the way we see the world...starting with a '90s arcade classic. Developer Mark Turmell worked at Midway, which was known for iconic games like Space Invaders, Pac-Man, and Mortal Kombat. His creation of NBA Jam in 1993 pushed the company in a new direction. It debuted at the height of the Chicago Bulls' dynasty, aiming to capture the energy of professional basketball in a high-octane, over-the-top format. The game was a hit out of the gate, captivating players with its digitized graphics (with the heads of real NBA players) and fantasy gameplay where players could become "on fire." At the heart of the NBA Jam gaming experience was the voice of its announcer, Tim Kitzrow. Turmell and the game's sound team had realized they needed a voice that could match the game's energy and cut through the din of an arcade, without the budget for a professional NBA commentator. So they turned to Kitzrow, an improv comedian and journeyman actor, who was initially hired by Midway for pinball voiceovers — it was just a fun side gig. He had no idea that his work on NBA Jam would make such a lasting impact on the industry. Kitzrow modeled his energetic, flamboyant delivery on NBA announcer Marv Albert, infusing it with his own ad-libbed, short, and punchy catchphrases like "REJECTED!" and the game's most famous line, "Boomshakalaka!"—which was suggested by an artist and inspired by funk group Sly and the Family Stone. The game became a monumental hit, reportedly making $1 billion in quarters in its first year, with its catchphrases entering basketball vernacular. *** Credits: This episode of "Hidden Levels" was produced by James Parkinson, edited by Emmett FitzGerald, and mixed by Martín Gonzalez. Original music by Swan Real, Jamilah Sandoto, and Paul Vaitkus. Series theme by Swan Real and Paul Vaitkus. This story was adapted from James Parkinson's podcast, Gameplay. The Managing Producer for "Hidden Levels" is Chris Berube. The series was created by Ben Brock Johnson. "Hidden Levels" is a production of 99% Invisible and WBUR's Endless Thread.
