Asia's AI-fueled market rally has created huge winners — but also growing risks. In this episode, Merryn Somerset Webb speaks with Invesco fund manager Fiona Yang about why Korea's AI boom has become increasingly volatile, where she's still finding value in China and India and why the next generation of winners may be the companies using AI rather than building it.Join us in Edinburgh for Fringe Festival! https://www.edfringe.com/tickets/whats-on/the-butcher-the-brewer-the-baker-and-merryn-somerset-webbSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

AUDREY CRABTREE, Executive Director KC Fringe The KC Fringe is the largest celebration of arts and culture in the Kansas City metropolitan area. Returning live for its 22nd season for a two-week explosion of performance, film, visual arts exhibitions, and events that showcase the work of local, national, and international artists. The mostly volunteer-run organization has been supporting artists, cultivating creators, and attracting adventurous audiences since July 2005. Our Mission-KC Fringe Festival champions creative expression by empowering artists to produce bold and innovative work through an annual visual and performing arts festival that is accessible and affordable for all. Our Vision-KC Fringe • Aspires to be the region's leading pipeline for artistic innovation, fostering individuals and groups with opportunities to continue on their artistic journey through education, mentorship, collaborations and partnerships with emerging and established organizations. •  Create cultural understanding by amplifying diverse voices through inclusive representation in our artists, programming, audiences, and venues and expanding the festival to be reflective and inclusive of global cultures. • Envisions a vibrant, sustainable cultural landscape where artists and audiences converge, forming a dynamic and engaged community to experience the transformative power of the arts.

We provide opportunities for everyone to contribute and participate in all events and activities whenever possible, and all community members are to be treated with respect and dignity. We seek to expand our reach to fight against injustices and become a more welcoming and equitable place for everyone to enjoy the performing arts.

If you require additional assistance, please contact us one week in advance at accessibility@kcfringe-org.us.stackstaging.com for additional support at the venue.   www.kcfringe.org JUNE MCDANIEL, EarlystART CEO, Ex-Officio - Embrace Wonder! The earliest years are the wonder years. A time when children are curious by nature and undeterred by the unknown. That's why an EarlystART education is distinctively different. Here, we believe in the ability of creative expression to fuel and express passion. We are where hope flies high. Where families flourish. Where kids can be kids.  Here, we believe all children deserve a great education right from the start and will make the world better because of it. We're EarlystART, an innovator in wonder-filled early education for more than 50 years, and we're just getting started! At EarlystART, we are redefining early childhood education through a unique arts-infused curriculum that nurtures creativity, curiosity, and confidence in children from six weeks to five years old. Our approach goes beyond traditional learning - integrating visual arts, music, movement, and imaginative play into daily instruction to support academic readiness, social-emotional growth and resilience. In a community where many children face significant barriers from the very start, this model is proving transformative. We are seeing firsthand how exposure to the arts helps shape capable, compassionate, and confident young learners - the emerging leaders and citizens our community will rely on in the years ahead. • Why arts-infused learning is a powerful (and often overlooked) driver of long-term success • How EarlystART is addressing critical gaps in access to high-quality early education • The broader impact this work has on families, workforce development, and community vitality • Invite the community to support the Art of Wonder, our signature breakfast event on August 5th at the Zhou B Art Center Our Project Construct evidence-based curriculum encourages positive teacher-student relationships, autonomy, and child-led experiences. In this supportive, collaborative and child-centered environment, students not only develop per their individual needs – they flourish! Project Construct classrooms incorporate many of the activities found in traditional classrooms such as pretend play and block building, but have a clear emphasis on cognitive objectives. At EarlystART, our distinctive approach blends the Project Construct curriculum with the Arts, sparking each child's innate curiosity. We encourage creative expression and foster each child's social competence, support learning through play, and forge strong home-school connections. Our one-of-a-kind arts-infused environment touches all aspects of learning while also engaging families in the process. In turn, our students become enthusiastic, independent, and inquisitive learners as they march to their own beats and do what works for them! The EarlystART curriculum is a magical mix of visual, musical, and dramatic arts that come to life in our classrooms, art studios, and venues around the community. Why Art is Smart-Experiencing the arts prompts the synapses in a child's brain to fire away. And just like that, billions of new connections are formed through arts experiences and creative expression!  Our dedicated arts educators integrate the arts in meaningful ways: leading students and parents in after-school Stay-and-Play activities; addressing the special needs of students who have experienced trauma through arts-based therapies; welcoming talented Artists in Residence to The Studio, our on-site makerspace; engaging families and community in artistic and cultural experiences on site and around the community that inspire creative thought and an appreciation for the arts.

Read transcriptAbout This Episode: What would happen if a newly elected Premier of Ontario was forced to live on minimum wage? That's the provocative (and deeply funny) question at the heart of Minimum, the political satire written and performed by Victoria Sullivan. After winning Best in Venue at the 2025 Hamilton Fringe Festival, Victoria is bringing the show to Toronto Fringe, and the timing couldn't feel more apt. Victoria is an actor, playwright, and producer based in Hamilton, working under the banner of Be Victorious (and sometimes the Intergalactic Federation of Space Beers - it's a long story). She holds a master's degree from TMU, where her Dante-inspired thesis project Daniel T's Inferno Latte became a critically lauded Fringe hit. With four consecutive Fringe runs under her belt, she knows what it takes to make a show land; and she's ready to find out how Toronto audiences respond to political absurdism in the current climate. This episode explores: How the experience of moving to Toronto and working for minimum wage sparked the idea for Minimum Why Victoria chose a fictional premier over the actual Premier and what creative freedom that decision unlocked Returning to a show with the same cast but a new director, and what that reinvestigation revealed The changing landscape of Fringe marketing - from flyering lineups to social media ads - and what actually works And much more!

Indeed, this year the festival is marking no less than a quarter century of existence with a packed programme that gets underway on May 22. The Prague Fringe was first dreamt up by two friends: Steve Gove, who still runs it, and Angus Coull, who is now back in the pair's native Scotland. And ahead of this year's landmark edition, Gove and Coull shared often colourful recollections of the festival's beginnings.

Em 2023, tornou-se o primeiro humorista português a apresentar um solo no Fringe Festival, em Edimburgo. O espetáculo, “What If”, apresentava-nos André de Freitas: criado na Costa da Caparica, os sonhos de vingar na comédia levaram-no a viajar pelo mundo. Primeiro estabeleceu-se no Reino Unido, agora tem a bússola apontada aos EUA. Mudou-se para Nova Iorque e após alguns meses tornou-se o primeiro comediante português a passar a audição e tornar-se regular na mítica Comedy Cellar. Um, se não mesmo o mais, importante clube de comédia no mundo. André de Freitas prepara-se para uma nova digressão europeia com “Public Display of Affection”. Estreia-se no Reino Unido e passa ainda por mais 13 países, incluindo Portugal: Porto, Coimbra e Lisboa, já no mês de junho. No regresso ao Humor À Primeira Vista, com Gustavo Carvalho, o humorista narra todo o processo de se tornar um comediante da Comedy Cellar; relata alguns dos encontros com grandes humoristas em Nova Iorque, como Andrew Schulz e Ray Romano; recorda a primeira vez que foi aos EUA, em que apesar de ter feito algumas atuações, acabou “sem dinheiro e a dormir no carro” e apresenta ainda uma plataforma que criou para facilitar a gestão de carreira dos humoristas.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Uma palavra simples, cada vez mais presente no cotidiano, colágeno, virou ponto de partida para que a atriz, escritora e diretora brasileira Fabiana Mattedi construísse uma reflexão sobre envelhecimento, identidade e pressão estética. Luciana Rosa, correspondente da RFI em Nova York  Fabiana Mattedi conta que a inspiração veio de uma percepção pessoal ao longo dos últimos anos. A artista relata que passou a notar como o termo “colágeno” começou a aparecer com frequência em seu dia a dia. "Era uma coisa que, antes de vir para Nova York, antes de eu ter 40 anos, não sabia do que se tratava", confessa.  O estalo definitivo veio de uma cena aparentemente banal no metrô da cidade. Durante uma viagem no L Train, Mattedi ouviu duas jovens, na casa dos vinte anos, discutindo preocupações com envelhecimento e com a necessidade de “cuidar” do corpo desde cedo. A conversa chamou atenção justamente pela antecipação dessa ansiedade. Para a artista, esse comportamento reflete uma mudança geracional. Ela observa que pessoas mais jovens já estão conectadas a preocupações estéticas e corporais que, para gerações anteriores, sequer eram conhecidas. Segundo Mattedi, muitas vezes há um medo de perder algo que nem se sabe exatamente o que é. A partir dessa experiência, o que começou como uma crônica cotidiana evoluiu para uma investigação mais profunda, quase uma escavação, sobre o corpo, o tempo e as pressões sociais. A atriz afirma que o espetáculo nasce de uma inquietação central: o envelhecimento passou a ser tratado como problema. E, para ela, existe uma cobrança mais intensa e complexa em relação à aparência feminina. "Tem um questionamento dessa ditadura de beleza, de padrão de beleza, principalmente com nós mulheres. Com a gente tudo é mais complicado, mais difícil", analisa. No palco, esse conflito aparece com humor, mas também com densidade reflexiva. Mattedi explica que utiliza a comédia como ferramenta para abordar temas mais profundos. Segundo ela, o riso funciona como um filtro para expressar questões filosóficas e experiências pessoais. Mas a trajetória que levou à criação de "Notes on Collagen" começa muito antes de Nova York. Natural da Bahia, a artista se formou em teatro em Salvador, onde iniciou sua carreira e construiu suas primeiras referências. Ela destaca que participou de um projeto marcante ao lado da companhia baiana Os Argonautas, experiência que considera fundamental em sua formação. Foi nesse ambiente que surgiram encontros importantes com nomes como Vladimir Brichta e Emanuelle Araújo, além de uma rede de contatos que segue presente em sua trajetória. Anos depois, já com o projeto em andamento em Nova York, esses vínculos se transformaram em apoio concreto: Brichta e Araújo participaram da produção com vídeos que ajudaram na arrecadação de recursos para viabilizar a montagem. Para Mattedi, essa continuidade revela como a construção artística também depende de comunidade e colaboração. Ela também destaca a influência de suas origens. Segundo a atriz, a Bahia, que "deu régua e compasso para um monte de gente", teve papel fundamental na formação de sua identidade artística, funcionando como base para sua trajetória. Hoje, essa história ganha uma nova camada com a experiência de viver e atuar em outra língua. Construir identidade em outro idioma Apresentar a peça em inglês, segundo Mattedi, exige precisão técnica na fala, mas também envolve uma dimensão mais profunda: a de construir identidade em outro idioma. Ela afirma que atuar em uma segunda língua é um desafio que vai além da comunicação, e passa pela própria forma de existir em um novo contexto. "Tem o desafio técnico de falar as palavras com cuidado e com atenção para poder ser entendida. Mas, ao mesmo tempo, como eu falo em inglês é quem eu sou. E tem que ser assim, porque senão eu perco a minha autenticidade", explica, defendendo o "desafio de 'ser' em outra língua". Nesse processo, o sotaque também se torna parte central da discussão. A atriz critica a pressão, tanto nos Estados Unidos quanto no Brasil, para neutralizar a forma de falar. Segundo ela, há uma “padronização” da linguagem que privilegia determinados sotaques, especialmente os do eixo Rio-São Paulo, em detrimento de outras identidades regionais. A montagem de "Notes on Collagen" também reflete os desafios do teatro independente em Nova York, com equipe reduzida, direção compartilhada e soluções cênicas simples para se adaptar à dinâmica intensa dos festivais. O espetáculo integra o circuito do Fringe Festival, conhecido por abrir espaço para produções autorais e independentes. Nesse contexto, a peça encontra um ambiente propício para dialogar com o público. Mais do que falar sobre estética ou colágeno, o trabalho levanta uma questão mais ampla: em que momento o envelhecimento deixou de ser um processo natural e passou a ser motivo de medo? "Notes on Collagen" terá quatro apresentações em abril, no teatro Under St. Marks, no East Village, em Nova York.

On MoneyFM 89.3’s joins Saturday Mornings Show host Glenn van Zutphen and co-host Neil Humphreys welcome Melissa Lim, General Manager and Executive Producer of The Necessary Stage and the Singapore Fringe Festival, to discuss the urgent fundraising campaign needed to keep the 2027 Fringe alive. Since 2005, the Fringe has been one of Singapore’s most important platforms for socially engaged art. It has commissioned over 1,000 local artists and groups, presenting international works, and creating safe spaces for conversations on mental health, inequality, climate change, migrant workers, and identity. But with the loss of its long‑time title donor in 2025, rising post‑COVID costs, and a cautious corporate philanthropy climate, the festival is now facing a funding cliff. Despite a successful community‑driven campaign that kept the 2026 edition afloat, the current crowdfunding effort has raised just over $9,000 of the $80,000 needed, with the deadline looming on 31 March. Melissa shares why the Fringe matters — its commitment to emerging creators, accessibility for disabled audiences, and its belief that art must remain affordable and inclusive. She also explains what’s at stake if the festival disappears, especially in a year when even major theatre companies are struggling to survive.

Les, Kurt, and Jason are back after another extended break between episodes because Les keeps getting recruited to help a bunch of length-impaired Fringe Festival shows (and poetry jams). Since Kurt doesn't have any new Blac Chyna news, there is at least some June Squib news to fill the void. Plus, the guys talk about Mike White becoming absolutely ripped. Then, the guys look to the skies to see if they can make something of Hallmark's The Stars Between Us, a movie that keeps its chemistry-free leads away from each other for the entire movie while shining a spotlight on the secondary characters to mixed results. With two lead characters with no spark between them, the movie spends a lot of time devaluing paying ones dues to get on the news while grossly overvaluing the draw of a podcast about astronomy. The people in this movie are going to the bathroom for likely more than just dealing with their fiber intake: they're going to look at their length-impaired telescope.    Bluesky: lifetimeofhallmark Facebook : lifetimeofhallmark Instagram : lifetimeofhallmarkpodcast Threads: lifetimeofhallmarkpodcast TikTok: lifetimeofhallmarkpod Theme song generously donated by purple-planet.com

Deirdre Lovejoy Take a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know Deirdre Lovejoy (DD). In this episode, we chat about her growing up in Indiana, and what made her mom tell her to get into acting. Next, we talk about an insane freak accident that almost took her whole hand off! Naturally I ask her about moving to Brookly after having lived in Manhattan for so long. We touch on her stint on the television show 'Bones', as well as her arc on 'The Blacklist'. Then we dive into one of my all-time favorite shows, 'Raising Dion'. I love this show, so I geek out a little, before we talk about her getting cast in the greatest show of all time, 'The Wire'. Then, we talk about a super rare condition that DD was later diagnosed with, following some really scary events (Stress Related Seizure Disorder). Deirdre shares with me the details of the play she is writing about some of her traumatic experiences (Trauma Nova), and how she plans to put the show on at this year's Edinburgh Fringe Festival, in Scotland. We also discuss her other play (Bird Elephant China), which chronicled some unrelated traumatic events. Finally, we end talking about her love for NBA basketball, and her beloved New York Knicks. You can catch DD on the previously mentioned shows, as well as the upcoming seasons of 'Daredevil Born Again', and Diarra From Detroit.

FOUNDATION-The recently-opened exhibit, "stand up, fight back: designing an anti-racist movement for worker power" is on view at the charlotte street foundation. the exhibition tells the story of how thoughtful, sustained commitment to design for social change can become a force-multiplier that enriches the struggle for anti-racist, working class organizing. it features posters, banners, flyers, t-shirts, and other graphic ephemera, in addition to documentary videos and photos and oral histories from workers. the exhibition runs from now to feb 28.

From MPR News, Art Hounds are members of the Minnesota arts community who look beyond their own work to highlight what's exciting in local art. Their recommendations are lightly edited from the audio heard in the player above. Want to be an Art Hound? Submit here.Fiber art finds a spotlightSandra Brick, a teaching artist at the Textile Center of Minnesota, recommends a trip to the Minneapolis Institute of Art to see Amy Usdin's contemplative fiber arts exhibit, “After All.“The show runs through Feb. 22 in the U.S. Bank Gallery.Sandra says: I think it's really great that Mia is giving fiber art this call-out in this show because, historically, fiber art has been considered a craft, and by having this exhibit at Mia, we're saying that it is an art.Amy's art is an expression of connection and transformation. There's woven layers, knots, found objects and time-composed pieces, both large and small, and many are hanging from the ceiling. So it's a truly immersive experience. You get to walk around the art. I would check it out just to learn and see how simple processes, like weaving, knotting, can be transformed into really contemplative, transformative pieces. A lot of the pieces are very airy, and so you're actually seeing through them. You see how it all blends together and flows into one really great use of the space.— Sandra BrickMultimedia storytelling takes the stagePerformance enthusiast Laurel Podulke-Smith of Rochester follows the work of local artist Jessalyn Finch, who has a short multimedia film debuting this weekend. “Embodied Landscapes” is the creation of Finch, Mary Mailand Schlichting and Laura Sukowatey. The film incorporates dance, large-scale drawing and sculpture.The premiere takes place at the Historic Chateau Theatre in Rochester on Sunday, Jan. 11. Screenings are at 2 and 3:15 p.m., with an artist talk and Q&A in between. Attendees are encouraged to wear cocktail attire and enjoy mocktails while meeting the artists.Surreal sisterhood in ‘Plano'Minneapolis theater maker Caleb Byers recommends “Plano,” presented by Third Space Theater. The play runs Jan. 9–18 at the Alan Page Auditorium at Mixed Blood Theatre in Minneapolis.Caleb says he's been anticipating this production since seeing Third Space Theater's original show “Breach” at the Fringe Festival. Caleb describes the play: Will Arbery is something of a magical realist-slash-surrealist playwright. And “Plano” is about three sisters, essentially in a sort of heightened reality and a sort of undisclosed period of time. Time is a little bit strange in “Plano.” They, in a very surreal style, move through their specific problems. There's very snappy, casual, modern dialogue. I'm incredibly excited for these artists in particular to tackle this.— Caleb Byers

When your guest guesses that both Manchester City and Paris Saint-Germain have won the European Cup/UEFA Champions League - before either team made the Champions League Final!   This episode was recorded in 2020, just before PSG made their first Champions League Final appearance (they finally won it in 2025) and a year before City's first Final appearance (they won in 2023).

Carlisle is the only city In County Cumbria, UK and one of the oldest cities, spanning 2,000 years. Someone who hasn't been there quite that long is the marvelous Dr. Steph McCullough, world renowned musical improv director! In this first of a two-part interview, Dr. Steph describes her love of her husband James and her new hometown of Carlisle. In her unique and melodious way, Dr. Steph describes her journey from Chicago to this historic city that is close to Hadrian's Wall, a place she loves to explore. She shares the story of her long distance love affair with James is better than any Hallmark movie, and it brought tears to my eyes. As she lives near Scotland she performed the 2025 Fringe Festival in Edinburgh. We discussed her research project on “seniors” while pursing a Ph.D., interviewing Del Close. Dr. Steph hadn't entered the world of improv yet and wasn't sure she wanted to after meeting with this historic figure. When studying at the IO she met up with Del again. Recently she has created The Improv Lineage Project, a research project that already has 700 participants on their personal improv lineage. You can join the study below. https://improvlineage.com To learn more about Dr. Steph you can visit her YouTube channel for some lessons on musical improv.

So excited to share this conversation ! In this episode, I go deep with my friend and talented improviser, writer. journalist and director Wallace McKelvey embark on a spontaneous and engaging conversation, devoid of a predetermined script, delving into the vibrant realms of creativity and performance. Wallace shares how improv and creativity has given him opportunities to play and have fun. I share about my recent productions at the Fringe Festival, where I performed in no less than 11 shows, I shares my exhilaration and exhaustion from juggling multiple performances and commitments, shedding light on her relentless passion for the arts. Wallace and I are original members of The Offbeats: An Improvised Musical Experience that's had a residency at the Harrisburg Improv Theatre since 2019.  The discussion navigates through the intricacies of living a creative life, highlighting the improvisational spirit that we both embrace. We delve into the importance of trust and collaboration in improv, the liberation that comes from stepping out of comfort zones, and how these artistic endeavors have woven a tapestry of community and growth. Furthermore, they explore the essence of creativity, life challenges, and the serendipitous moments that carve out a path for deeper self-expression and fulfillment. Wallace and I share how we find joy and fulfillment in our busy creative schedules, finding that the multitude of performances and projects add to their sense of aliveness. Improv acting serves as a freeing space for us, providing a playground to experiment and explore new facets of self-expression and storytelling. We emphasize the transformative and healing power of storytelling, both in terms of personal growth and building a sense of community and empathy. I share my journey towards my one-woman show illustrating the courage it takes to bare one's soul through storytelling, while Wallace highlights the intricate blending of his personal experiences into his film scripts and directing. They reflect on how the process of improvisation and acting can teach resilience, revealing how creativity can be a salve to life's unpredictable challenges.

The wildly talented multi-hyphenate Mayumi Yoshida returns to the YVR Screen Scene Podcast to discuss her long-awaited feature film directorial debut, Akashi, which is inspired by Mayumi's own experience of living in the space between cultures. Ten years after moving to Vancouver, struggling visual artist Kana (that's Mayumi) returns to Tokyo to attend the funeral of her beloved grandmother. Arriving in Japan, she rekindles a tentative flame with her bashful ex-boyfriend, Hiro, an aspiring thespian who vanished from her life a decade prior. As Kana digs deeper into her grandmother's past, she uncovers a family secret that prompts her to reconsider everything she thought she knew about love, duty, and belonging.Akashi – which Mayumi wrote, directed, and starred in – has its world premiere this week at the 2025 Vancouver International Film Festival. The feature began its life as a Fringe Festival play in 2016, before evolving into a Storyhive-funded short film in 2017 (the latter for which she earned a slew of awards, including the award for Best Female Director at the 2018 Vancouver Short Film Festival, and the Outstanding Writer Award at the NBCUniversal Short Film Festival). Although it's been a long road to bring Akashi to the screen in its current feature-length incarnation, Mayumi hasn't been idle in the intervening years: between directing short films – including the music video for Different Than Before, which won the SXSW Music Video Jury Award in 2023 – and working as a dialect coach and cultural consultant and advocating for diversity and inclusion in our challenging industry, Mayumi has been fighting to get this film made. This included, in 2021, taking on Telefilm, Canada's major funding provider, for their outdated language requirements that didn't take Canada's purported commitment to diversity and inclusion into consideration. In this riveting conversation with Sabrina Rani Furminger, Mayumi reflects on her journey to this moment, how Akashi changed over the years, and how Akashi changed her as an artist.
