In our culture, love gets defined a hundred different ways. Just look at the numbers: more than half of all songs ever written are about love, and over 100,000 films on IMDb are tagged as romance. From Marvel to Disney, everyone is trying to tell us what love is. The problem? Culture mostly tells us what love feels like and not what love actually is.That's where Scripture gives us clarity. In Genesis 1 and 2, God shows us that love, actually, has a Designer, and because God designed it, marriage has a design.Message 19.28.2025

There are two main Spiritualist Camps in America dating back to the Victorian Era: Lilydale in New York and Cassadaga in Florida. We've visited Cassadaga several times, which is known as the Psychic Capital of the World. Almost as often as St. Augustine, and like St. Augustine, Cassadaga oozes spiritual energy. While some people might think that Spiritualism was just a craze during the Victorian Era, it is a real religion that still exists today and is recognized by the military as a standard religion. There are around 13 million practicing Spiritualists in the world today. Many of them still live in Cassadaga and there seems to be many spirits in this small town, not only of the Spiritualists who have already transitioned, but perhaps of the many spirits called to the town. Join us for the history and hauntings of the Cassadaga Spiritualist Camp. The Moment in Oddity features the Lung Tree.

This Redux originally was going to be about Pittsburgh's Federal Courthouse, but when we learned that just down the same street was Allegheny County's Courthouse and the Allegheny County Jail was just across from that, we figured, why not do all these haunted law-adjacent buildings? So that's what we have for you here. The Federal Courthouse is the newest building and yet, it still manages to have spirits. The much more architecturally appealing Allegheny County Courthouse has even more ghosts and it isn't surprising that the Allegheny County Jail, with its own Bridge of Sighs, is the most haunted. Join us for haunted law in Pittsburgh!

These are the premier business owner strategies and successes being utilized by the industry's top talent today. Rock your business like a boss a VO boss. Now let's welcome your host, Anne Ganguzza. 00:44 - Anne (Host) Hey everyone, welcome to the VO Boss podcast and the Real Bosses series. I'm your host, Anne Ganguzza, and I'm delighted to be here with Mr Tom Dheere. Yay, yay, hello Anne, hi Tom, yes, guess what, tom, it's that time of year again. 01:01 - Speaker 2 (Announcement) It is you? 01:01 - Anne (Host) know when everybody's going back to school. 01:05 - Tom (Guest) Back to school. Oh yeah, I already bought my trapper keeper. 01:09 - Anne (Host) Oh my gosh, I used to love those. You know that was one of my favorite things about going back to school is buying office supplies and getting ready, and I was one of those rare. I don't know, tom, if you were one of those students, but I loved school. Love, tom, if you were one of those students, but I loved school. Love, love, love school. And it was always exciting to me to, number one, go back for the social component of things and then to go back and like I don't know. I always wanted to like advance in my subjects, and so I was always excited about learning. 01:37 - Tom (Guest) Yeah, me too. I do love school supplies, like if anyone who knows me as just me, or me as the vo strategist like? 01:47 - Anne (Host) of course he loves school supplies right, you know, sharpened pencils and rulers and everything being organized, paper clips and clothes, clothes, my new school clothes. 01:54 - Tom (Guest) You know, hey, oh, love the school clothes. Gotta get the new school clothes. 01:58 - Anne (Host) Well then, speaking of school, you know. I mean maybe it's time that we have a chat about coaching, coaching in this industry. And does it matter, tom, does it? There's so much information out there. Does it matter? Is it beneficial? 02:15 - Tom (Guest) let's, let's, let's chat about that well, one at first. It's funny that we actually haven't talked about this in the few years that we've done the real bosses podcast and two. You know there's an old saying which is never ask an encyclopedia salesman if you need an encyclopedia. 02:28 - Anne (Host) Yes, exactly so you asking? 02:29 - Tom (Guest) me a voiceover coach. If voice actors need voiceover coaching, we'll say well, of course, the answer is yes. 02:34 - Anne (Host) I know and for me to say do we need coaching? As a coach and demo producer. 02:45 - Tom (Guest) Of course. Of course we're gonna say so. Yes, full disclosure. Of course, we as coaches, yes. But here's the thing about it is that I know ann does not accept everybody that that wants to work with her, and I know that not. I don't accept everybody that wants to work with me for all kind, for all kinds of uh, all kinds of reasons. But every voice, regardless of where they are in their journey, needs coaching. You always need to be learning. The greatest baseball players and musicians everyone has a coach. Tiger Woods has a swing coach. Aaron Judge has a baseball bat swing coach as opposed to a golf swing coach. All the greatest artists and athletes have coaching. Do they know more than most? Can they do it better than most? Of course, that's why they are in the positions that they are in doing what they're doing, making what they're making, being as famous as they are, but it's a constant, constant sort of you know all the arts. There needs to be a constant level of education re-education, continuous learning, as they say, absolutely. 03:49 - Anne (Host) And if you're just starting out in the industry, you have to have a fundamental base. And there is, you know, hey, I am the biggest you know. And Google and gangoozle, and gangoozle, and gangoozle, whatever, I am the biggest lover of you know. Search the internet, find the answers. Because I mean, gosh, back in the day, you remember when we used to have to do research, we'd have to actually go to the library and then you would write, like I'd have to write notes for my term paper on like, on like index cards. 04:17 - Tom (Guest) What is this library? What is? 04:19 - Anne (Host) this library. What is this library? Well, our, I mean the library is at our fingertips and so we can. I mean, there's so much out there and, tom, both you and I put out a lot of content in regards to this industry and you know the business of the industry and performance. I give out performance tips and so I think a lot of times when you're first starting out, it can be really overwhelming, and so having a source, a coach, to go to, to kind of make it less overwhelming, can be an actual advantage as well. 04:52 As for me, what was I saying the other day? Oh, in my Pilates class I was like, yeah, I pay to go to this Pilates class so I can do the stretching on the foam roller that I have here at home and I just don't do Right, so I go and use the foam roller that's at the Pilates studio. But there's something to be said in being in a classroom and and actually saying I am dedicating this time for me to learn something or to, you know, to, to, to grow myself, and coaching is a big part of that grow myself, and coaching is a big part of that. 05:30 - Tom (Guest) I agree, the ability to take time and money to commit to a process that you know in. To a certain degree, you could do some of it on your own, but a lot of people most people, I would say like the reason why I have so many mentorship students that I have is that they're like I just need you. 05:48 I just need to have someone to talk to once a month, bounce ideas off of and hold me accountable for it and when you have, and I love accountability and I love stand up groups and meet up groups, but when they actually have to fork money over to me to basically be a paid accountability buddy, there's something to that, something to that I mean. And also, you know, when you're in an accountability buddy group with an accountability buddy or a mastermind group or standup group, that's all great, but most of them are peers. 06:19 Yes, absolutely With the same level of experience and knowledge as you as opposed to working with you or me or another coach who is just have you know, scads of knowledge and experience and the ability to disseminate that knowledge effectively. And also, I know you and I know you keep up with industry trends on a performance and technology and business and marketing level. So do I. We have to do that to be relevant and effective. We have our means. We read the same blogs and watch the same podcasts as everybody else, but I'm sure I know I have my own little secret methods of how I'm keeping up with things, and I'm sure you do too that we're able to aggregate and have, in a concise Anne, to say this is what's going on in the industry, this is how it applies to you. These are the decisions that you could make based on who you are, your talent level, your experience level, the time you have, the money you have that could get you where you want to go. 07:15 - Anne (Host) Well, and the accountability it doesn't just stop with the student. I mean, the coach is accountable. And that is, I think, where the difference is between peer accountability groups, because peer accountability groups, yeah, we can say, yeah, you were supposed to do this last week, or you, this is, this is on your goal sheet, but the stakes are not as high. I don't believe in a peer accountability group as a coach, because coaches are judged on their effectiveness, right, and they they get business based upon their effectiveness and word of mouth. So when you want to go work with someone where that is a factor, you're going to get education. 07:54 That, I think, really counts and is really intentional and therefore, I believe the quality of that is going to be better and it's going to be directly customized, especially if it's one-on-one coaching, and I do both group coaching and one-on-one coaching. But really, when you get that one-on-one time with a coach, there's nothing better than that, because I mean, I look, I offer group coaching as well, but that one-on-one time is precious. That is where it is all about you. It's customized just for you, your career, your growth. And that is where I think coaching really shines and why it still matters and I think, actually, I think it matters more today than it did in years past, because there's so much more competition out there, tom and there's, of course, you know, the synthetic competition out there there, tom, and there's, of course, you know, the synthetic competition out there and we need to really create something, a footprint for ourselves or a voice print, really for ourselves, that is unique and that is competitive and that can actually connect with our audience, which is what our clients are paying us for. 08:59 - Tom (Guest) Yeah, there are more voiceover opportunities for voice actors of all experience levels than ever ever before. There's more genres than ever. There are more voiceover opportunities for voice actors of all experience levels than ever ever before. There's more genres than ever. There are more casting sites than ever, you know, because when I just started, you know there was radio commercials and TV commercials and you know not that much. I mean there was e-learning, reel-to-reel kind of stuff. You know there wasn't that much more. 09:24 Now there's app narration, explainer videos, you know, audio description. There's just so many other ways to get work. But the flip side of that, Anne, is that it's so complicated because there's almost like there's too many choices and there's too many coaches and there's too many casting sites and there's too many blogs and too many podcasts and too many DAWs and too many CRMs and the ability to navigate that and make sure that their time and money is well spent. It's a huge challenge. I mean, I'm on Reddit pretty regularly hanging out on the voiceover related subreddits and listening and watching and, you know, giving advice and stuff like that, and they all say the same thing I don't know where to find a good coach. I don't know how to vet a good coach. I got ripped off by this coach, isn't? 10:15 - Anne (Host) that funny? That's always the question. That's always the question because I think everybody's overwhelmed with that information. You know, I don't think it's unlike just because it's you know the online world today. I don't think it's unlike choices that you have in most everything, right, where can you find a good one? And so what do we do? We rely on word of mouth, we rely on recommendations from our peers who have had a good coach and can recommend a good coach, and so I think that it's good that we have the community and coaches that are out there. You know, hopefully you have a good reputation and if you don't, and if you're just kind of a fly by night coach, well, people will find that out too. So I think that it's, in a way, it's good that there is lots of talk and communication and I always tell you know people, testimonials are always, they're so worthwhile, and word of mouth and communication, and I always tell you know people, testimonials are always, they're so worthwhile and and word of mouth and recommendations. It really is kind of the way, I think, to get work, to get a good coach to do all of that. But I'm talking for me. I'm involved in the performance aspect of the coaching. 11:19 But you right, first of all, you can have the best voice, you can do the best audition, you can be, have the best performance skills ever, but if somebody doesn't know how to find you, or you're not marketing yourself properly, or you don't have your business set up properly guess what? You're not you're gonna sit there and not get hired. I just spoke to a new student the other day who I literally said he's got four demos. And I and he said, like he's been in the business for six years. And he's like well, I don't have an aging yet and I haven't had a VO job yet. And I'm like well, why have you not had a VO job yet? I mean, he's not like he hasn't spent his money. You know what I mean, and so he needs right. 12:00 And then I went and looked at his website. There's absolutely no. And I said, well, you have no examples of work that you've done. You have, you know, and you can't expect to get it all with just an agent, depending on the genre you're in. And he, basically, I said you can have the best voice in the world, but it's not going to do you any good if nobody can find you. So that's where your business coaching comes into play. So it's not just performance coaching that I think is necessary and business coaching is the non-sexy. It's kind of like I do corporate voiceover and it's like the non-sexy part of voiceover. I think business coaching sometimes gets that same stigma and in fact, it's something that I think people need more than ever, more than ever today. Right, and of course, talk about that, tom, of course as the VO strategist, I always say that everybody should get a business coach. 12:44 - Tom (Guest) But to your point is that you could work with me for years and have the best business model, have the best marketing strategies, but if you're not an effective performer, it's not going to matter. 12:58 Yeah, yeah, just like you said, you could be the best performer in the world, but if nobody knows you exist, it's not going to matter either. So it's this synergistic relationship of developing your what I call your storytelling skills, your VO-101 skills, breath control, microphone technique, your genre skills, you know, to be able to be demo ready, to make that shiny demo, and then you can do the things with the demo, which is what I, as the VO strategist, helps everybody with, and everybody has their own journey. Everybody has their own relationship with themselves internally, which it's our job as coaches to be like. Ok, you know, how does this person tick, how does this person respond? How does this person respond to criticism? How does this person respond to praise? How does this person respond to data? You know, and everybody has their own ideas of what success is for them. And these, you know, these people love these social media platforms and these people hate social media and these people hate all social media, and you know. 14:00 And these people hate social media, and these people hate all social media, and you know. And these people hate online casting sites and so on and so forth. So everybody has their own biases and tendencies and, as effective coaches, on both a performance level and a business and marketing level, you know it's our job to be able to navigate that, and that's why the single most important skill that every voiceover coach performance, business, marketing, tech or otherwise has to have is the ability to listen, which also is the same exact skill that every voice actor needs to be a successful, effective, relevant voice actor. So, if you're having a conversation with someone you're considering coaching with and you can't get a word in because they're talking about themselves or that one cartoon they did 30 years ago, or if it's all sell, sell, sell, that tells you something, because they are not asking you what your pain points are Sure. 14:53 - Anne (Host) Every good marketer Help you solve them. 14:55 - Tom (Guest) Exactly Every good marketer, whether it's a a commercial, tired of using this old mop this way. You know. That's identifying the pain point. If I used to use, I use this mop. This mop stinks. Go use this mop. This mop's great. If there isn't any kind of centered likes, any kind of back and forth, reciprocal. You know what are, what are you going through, what are what challenges have you? What are your struggles? Oh okay, well, based on this, this and this, I can help you with this, this and this, as opposed to some. You know old hack, who's just going to throw these stock scripts at you and you know in three lessons. And then you get your demo using the same scripts that everybody uses or a new hack, who you know? 15:32 - Anne (Host) there are new hacks we've seen a lot of those out there. 15:35 - Tom (Guest) I have noticed quite a few new hacks lately both in the performance and business and marketing categories. 15:42 - Anne (Host) I think also, when you talk about an industry that has evolved and changed so much and especially, you know, this year's been an interesting year I mean you've got changes in things outside of the industry that are affecting, you know, corporations and affecting people who advertise, and affecting the climate of what we do, and so that makes people scared to advertise Sometimes, it makes people scared to spend money. It makes, you know there's all sorts of things happening outside of our industry that affect our industry as well as you know. I mean what's happening in your own personal life as well as you know. I mean what's happening in your own personal life. So we talk about the necessity of performance coaching and business coaching, but there's also, believe it or not, there's something to be said for, you know, coaching of the mind and coaching to be a confident performer, a confident business person, somebody who can be competitive and negotiate in these times where it seems like everybody's vying for the same job, and so there's also mindset skills, I think, that are also valuable to be coached. I think, like you said it in the beginning, like a lifelong learner, I think we always have to be learning. We always have to be learning, and do we have to spend tons and tons of money doing it. No, not necessarily, but I do think that there's an investment there and I think it's something that you need to revisit. 17:08 If you did get coaching prior to your demo, maybe five years ago, and now maybe you need a new demo. 17:15 I personally think that everything needs a refresh and, you know, if you haven't coached in a while, I feel like having someone else's ears listen to you. If you haven't been booking why, why is that? Go to a trusted coach and have them listen to you and see if maybe you've fallen into some sort of a rut where maybe you're not delivering performance-wise I don't know a rut where maybe you're not delivering performance wise. Or, for example, when I spoke to the student yesterday who's like well, I haven't gotten a job yet, and I'm like OK, first of all, I'm looking at your website and you don't have downloadable demos. Your website, your demos, are five years old. You know there's lots of things that can contribute to not getting hired, and so I think that the coaching can. Yes, it's definitely investment, but again, remember, any business, you have investments and I think that again, more than ever, it is important to be educated and understand how you can evolve with the changing VO industry of today. 18:15 - Tom (Guest) I think what I agree with everything that you said wholeheartedly, on top of all, that all voice actors need to invest in empowerment. That is one of the biggest deficiencies that most aspiring voice actors have coming into the industry. They immediately, you know, disempower themselves. They immediately devalue themselves because they have this and this is a system of thought thing that I talk about all the time, Anne is that most people coming into the voice industry think that the industry is vertical, it's a ladder or a mountain and you have to climb it and as you climb it, you kick people in the face and knock them off the ladder or the mountain like it's some reality show and you go ha ha, I take your videos now. 19:01 Haha, I narrate them. You don't blah, blah. That's not how it works. I've always talked about how the voiceover industry is spherical and you're the center of your sphere and your job is to expand your sphere and empower yourself by including as many good humans in it as possible, both agents and managers and audio engineers and coaches and fellow voice actors and your accountant and your lawyer and your graphic designer or your social media manager or whoever to empower you so you can make the best decisions possible to expand that sphere and move your voiceover business forward. 19:36 So to work with an effective coach to be or just to be, just to be educating yourself in general is to empower you you know, on both a personal and a professional level, and the more that you can do that, the better chance you have of making those voiceover dreams come true. 19:55 - Anne (Host) I mean, and and speaking of, we always talk about, what are the red flags? What are the red flags right? How do we know a coach is worthy of my investment? Right, a coach, a business coach or performance coach? You know, I like to start with. First of all, let's let's talk about what it takes to get a good coach. I mean, what are the? What are the green flags Right? What? What do you look for in a good coach? What are some properties of a good coach? Would you? 20:22 - Tom (Guest) say you touched on this earlier. Reputation is definitely one. I mean there's the reputation of someone like a Jennifer Hale who holds the Guinness World Record for the most amount of video game characters ever recorded by a female. So there's a level of something that comes with that. 20:42 Jen also happens to be a great articulator and a great coach, but then there's other coaches that have done one character decades ago hasn't done much work since, and then that's the only thing that they hang their shingle and their reputation on this one character that they played a very, very long time ago. Shingle and their reputation on this one character that they played a very, very long time ago. Jennifer, like you and me and a bunch of our other coaching and voiceover friends are boots on the ground day to day, dare I say, in the trenches. Voice actors. We are working, we are auditioning and marketing and booking regularly. So I always say the first green flag for a good voiceover coach is to go to their voice actor website and go check that out. 21:26 See what they've got, see what they have done recently, see if their demos and YouTube Anne and playlists have been updated recently, check their IMDB profiles and see what work they have done. And layered on top of that, you know, as a voice actor, reputation, obviously, as a voiceover, coach, reputation, testimonials on the website, testimonials on social media platforms, conversations that people are having behind our back on various social media platforms or in subreddits or Discord servers or or facebook groups, like though that's some of the major. Those are two of the biggest green flags is the. You know, because you never know and there is no guarantee of any voice actor achieving any level of success, but you know your chances of empowerment will increase if you work with someone who knows what they're doing, has been doing it for a long time and is doing it today. 22:19 - Anne (Host) Yeah, exactly. So they have evolved over the evolution of the voiceover industry and so they know. They know what agents are looking for, they know what casting directors are looking for, they know what is relevant and current in the industry. So red flags on the other side. 22:38 - Tom (Guest) Well, the red flags are if they just started. There's a lot of voice actors or aspiring voice actors who do a couple of gigs and all of a sudden they hang out their shingle as a voiceover business coach and marketing coach, or performance coach. You and I see it all the time. 22:55 - Anne (Host) I think there has to be some longevity to it. 22:57 - Tom (Guest) Yeah, there needs to be some longevity to it. Yeah, there needs to be some longevity. Now. Everybody has to start somewhere, and you know someone who may turn out to be the greatest performance or business coach ever has to start somewhere, and start with one student. 23:12 And you know what I mean, but for those that haven't been in the industry for very long, that have little or no IMDB credits or have little or no samples on their voiceover website, all of a sudden they're a coach. Well, that's telling you something, and I've seen it from personal experience. People working, for example, with me get some business coaching from me and then a couple months later they're all of a sudden a business coach. And I'm like wait a minute, wait a minute, they never last. 23:38 - Anne (Host) Well, I always think they never last, though. 23:41 You know, for me it's always like and people say this all the time, right, you know the quick success, right, and I see it in. You know ads, in ads like, hey, you don't need expensive equipment or training to be a voice actor. And you know those are designed to sell the dream. And again we have to say it, you know, and it sounds like a broken record, but just if we reach just one person right and I always tell people like, honestly, it's a skill You're becoming an actor. I mean, that doesn't happen overnight. It is a marathon, not a sprint. It really is a marathon, and the people who are truly successful in this industry know that. And marathon by marathon, I'm not talking six months, I'm not talking three months, I'm not talking, I'm talking years, years of working in this industry and putting in the work, doing the auditions, getting the training. Those are the ones that become successful. 24:38 - Tom (Guest) Absolutely. This is a long-term investment. It's just like going to college, going to medical school, going to trade school going to vocational school. 24:49 It takes a long time to develop the skills and collect the tools, both literal, physical, microphone headphones, daw and the other business and marketing tools understanding how to write a business plan, how to create a marketing strategy, how to make long-term investments through blogging and social media, how to make short-term investments through auditioning on free casting sites and then developing your skills, and then maybe moving to pay-to-play casting sites which have higher quality, higher paying auditions and then using that to develop your skills to maybe then you're ready to submit to agents. There are things that have to happen in order. You know, a tomato can't grow until you plant the seed, water it and wait. 25:37 - Anne (Host) Right, exactly. Well, I love that because so many people are like well, I can't invest in another demo or more coaching until I make money in the industry. So, oh gosh, I wish I had a nickel for every time. Somebody said that to me and I'm like but it doesn't quite work like that In reality. You do have to make an initial upfront investment and it may take you a minute before you make that money back. And so you've got to get the skills developed in both running your business, establishing that you know, hanging out the shingle on your online website. There's money involved in that. There's money involved in you know setting up your business or getting you know good business coaching, advertising yourself. And there's, of course, money in performance wise being, you know, coached so that you're competitive. 26:26 In today's industry, you're competitive and doing well, and even the people who do, who are great performers. It's not always an immediate return on investment. I mean, gosh, I mean I've spoken to veterans out there. I mean you have to understand. You have to be in it long enough to understand that you're not going to get a commercial a day necessarily. I mean I don't know anybody that ever has, and that dream can't be sold to you. You really just have to be. I think you have to think what Malcolm? I always go back to Malcolm Gladwell 10,000 hours, really 10,000 hours of effort and you know to really start to see effective success. And then you evolve into growing into a better performer, a better actor, a better business person. Tom, if somebody's interested in it, how much would you say is when is a good time to invest? When do they take that step and say plunk down my money, here's my money, coach me. 27:37 - Tom (Guest) I would say what has to happen. I think the first thing that has to happen is that they have to invest in storytelling training first. Theater training, on-camera training, singing training, improv training, stand-up comedy training. Pick one of those disciplines. 27:52 - Anne (Host) But does that mean they have to spend money and go to an acting class? Not necessarily. 27:55 - Tom (Guest) I mean improv troops are free. You know open mic night is free. You know there's community theater is free. There's lots of places where they can develop that skill, because first they need to find out if they have that skill they don't want to be on stage. 28:09 - Anne (Host) That's why they're right. That's why they're doing it behind the mic. That's why right. 28:13 - Tom (Guest) So for those people. Right, and the thing about that is they need to find out if they have the ability, through the power of their voice, to engage and be engaging. If you can do that through those, then you can. Then that's when I think is a good time to start your VO training. Here's the other thing, Anne, is that you know. You mentioned briefly AI at the beginning of it. If you are better than AI when you're, you know when you're starting to invest in your training, you're not going to get anywhere. 28:42 - Anne (Host) And what's going to make the difference? And AI reads really well. So if you're nothing but a really pretty reader, yeah, you got no shot. 28:48 - Tom (Guest) You're not going to advance. That's why getting acting, theater, improv, stand up or singing training is going to already you're hitting the ground running by already being better than AI when you're, once you're ready for your VO training. That's why I think you should really start that way. 29:02 - Anne (Host) Yeah, One thing I do want to stress is that my coaching has gone. It was always been acting based. I mean it starts with acting based. So for those people who've never taken acting course, I always I always recommend that they take an acting course anyway, because there's a subtle difference between acting in front of other people or acting with people and then acting behind the mic, and it's nice to have that 360 degree view of all the aspects of the acting. And a good coach will teach you voice acting and not just here's a script, here's how and direct you to a sound that would sound good on a demo, really, and that's why I concentrate. I'm almost obsessed with personally training people to be good actors, because that's going to last them so much longer than just a directed demo. Right, Because if any good director can direct you to a good demo, really it's. 29:55 You know they can give you the read that people are looking for and then you can have a great demo. But then, all of a sudden, when you're asked to produce that or you're trying to audition and you're wondering why you're not booking the jobs, that's because you haven't established the basic skills, the basic acting skills required. Definitely, investment is not just in a voice acting coach, but, yes, in, I think, acting classes, improv classes. All of that can help. All of that can help. 30:21 - Tom (Guest) Absolutely. It's just going to make you that much better, that much faster and that much better of a decision maker than AI, because the real skill, when it comes to true performance, is not about what impressions you can do is can you make strong acting choices quickly, right, right, right. And if you can do that when the client says, hey, abc. That for me, and you can do is can you make strong acting choices quickly, right, right, right. And if you can do that when the client says, hey, abc that for me, and you can give them three takes with different emphasis and different motivations and different levels of engagement. 30:47 That's what's going to get you ahead of the pack. 30:50 - Anne (Host) And honestly, it's one of those things that you have to understand that if you're looking, if you happen to just be getting in this industry and you watch social media, be careful with that, because a lot of what happens on social media is all the positive things, all the hey I booked the gig but I can't tell you about it, or the illusion that you know people are successful, because you know it takes a very special person to be on social media and say, oh gosh, I didn't nail it and I'm so upset Because a lot of times, well, first of all, if it's something that's under NDA, we can't really talk about it anyways. 31:28 But if you give the illusion or you're looking at other people that are giving the illusion that they're successful and making tons of money and they just started or they didn't do it this way, there's multiple ways to be successful in voiceover and there are some people that would say you don't necessarily need coaching. Honestly, I don't buy into that, but I think at some point everybody needs to have that extra ear, hearing them or giving them some sort of education about it, whether it could be a manager, it could be a talent agent. It doesn't have to be an actual voiceover coach, but somebody that's giving you feedback so that you can then take that feedback and improve. Do what you need to educate and improve yourself. 32:12 - Tom (Guest) I think you touched upon something very critical which is one of the most important skills is the ability to self-direct and with COVID wiping out all in-person auditions, at least here in New York City, and for most voice actors, almost 100% of their actual bookings are going to be taking place at home, not being directed. Then you need to learn how to listen to yourself objectively when it comes to pace and tone and inflection and sibilance and regionalisms and mic placement and breath control and, obviously, performance choices. That you should be able to learn how to hear yourself and adjust accordingly, because if you can't do that, you can't be an effective voice actor. 32:58 - Anne (Host) That's a process being able to self-direct, it's being able to develop an ear. An ear doesn't happen overnight, typically, it just doesn't. It's hard for people to actually hear themselves without actually hearing how they sound and to evaluate themselves as an actor. So it is tough. Themselves as an actor. So it is tough. And it does take, I think, a lot of I'm going to say a lot of practice, a lot of you know, auditions, a lot of failing, a lot of just going oh shoot, what could I have done wrong? Or maybe feedback, and so, yeah, there's a lot to that. I mean, gosh, we could just go on all day. But guys, again, you know we're both coaches. Of course we'd love it if you coach with us, but just know that it's valuable. It's valuable in today's voiceover industry to have another set of ears, to have a trusted coach, somebody. That's what they do. They've been established in the business that is guiding you along this career, which, again, is a marathon not a sprint. Good discussion, tom, yeah. 33:57 - Speaker 2 (Announcement) Good discussion All right, tom. 33:58 - Anne (Host) Yeah, good discussion. All right guys.

Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Dolly Parton has been making headlines after postponing her highly anticipated Las Vegas residency due to health challenges, a move that instantly sparked concern and a wave of support from fans across the globe. According to her own statement shared on social media and widely reported on ITV News and Country Living, Dolly revealed she needed to undergo a series of unspecified medical procedures, joking that it was time for her 100,000-mile checkup—though she assured fans with her trademark wit that it was not her usual trip to the plastic surgeon. The original slate of six sold-out performances at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, which would have marked her first extended Vegas run in over three decades, was scheduled for December 2025. These shows have now been rescheduled for September 2026, with Parton making it clear tickets would be honored or refunded for those who can't make the new dates.The news of her postponement came right after she missed a major event at Dollywood, her iconic Tennessee theme park, due to a flare-up of kidney stones. WHNT News 19 and several entertainment outlets emphasized there was no specific diagnosis given beyond the need for recovery time, and Dolly herself reassured her devoted following that she is not quitting show business. She cited advice from her doctors and a personal sense that she should slow down temporarily, but with her usual optimism, she promised, "God hasn't said anything about stopping yet," highlighting her intention to keep working on her many projects from Nashville. Speculation about her future quickly appeared on social media, but Dolly dampened any rumors of retirement, insisting she has big adventures ahead—a message that trended widely on X and Instagram as fans poured in thousands of get-well messages and memes celebrating her resilience.Beyond her current health focus, Dolly continues to expand her business portfolio. Features in Forbes and IMDb have spotlighted her towering $450 million net worth and highlighted the growth of her “Doggy Parton” pet line, new Duncan Hines baking mixes, and her ever-popular Dollywood properties. In August, she received special attention from the Guinness Book of World Records with an "icon" certificate, putting her in league with Beyoncé and Sir Paul McCartney. Even during this pause from live performance, Dolly's brand and legendary catalog remain at the heart of country music, philanthropy, and entrepreneurship, her career far from finished—as she says, just resting up for the next act.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

Sean Combs, famously known as Puffy or P Diddy, remains one of the most prominent and controversial figures in music and business, and the past week has been no exception for major headlines. TMZ reports that Diddy's legal saga, which has gripped the public for over a year, is reaching its most dramatic chapter yet. The Bad Boy Records founder is facing a sentencing in October after last month's sensational acquittal on racketeering and sex-trafficking charges. However, listeners, he was found guilty of lesser prostitution-related charges and his lawyers are now mounting a campaign to have him serve any potential sentence in home confinement at his $48.5 million Miami mansion instead of a federal prison. Attorneys for Diddy have argued that he needs intensive therapy for anger and substance abuse issues, care they say is not available in the prison system. They're also pushing to overturn his conviction on the two federal Mann Act counts, claiming voyeurism “doesn't count” as prostitution—a claim they vigorously defended in a New York City courtroom last week according to TMZ.As the October 3rd sentencing hearing approaches, AOL News highlights that Diddy has been on constant suicide watch inside the Metropolitan Detention Center Brooklyn. This has become a key argument for his legal team, who submitted a sentencing packet urging a lighter, 14-month sentence and repeatedly described the conditions as inhumane. Meanwhile, IMDB and FandomWire have covered Diddy's time behind bars, revealing that he's taken to teaching fellow inmates business skills and motivating them with life lessons drawn from his own successes and failures.The ripple effects of Diddy's ordeal extend to his family too. TMZ reveals his son, King Combs, leaned into music as a coping mechanism, releasing the heartfelt track “Lonely Roads,” produced by Kanye West and Stevie J, with a music video as a tribute to his father. Diddy's twin daughters, Jessie and D'Lila, powered through their first-ever New York Fashion Week as adults, maintaining high spirits and expressing confidence that their dad would be proud, even as his fate remains uncertain.Listeners, the Diddy story is still far from over, with his future and his legacy hanging in the balance as his legal team presses relentlessly for leniency and relief in the coming days.

Dolly Parton BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Dolly Parton has been front and center in both headlines and hearts over the past week, even as she balanced personal moments and a packed professional schedule. According to Parade, Dolly sat down with Reba McEntire for a warmly candid TalkShopLive interview released September 25, where she reminisced with poignant humor about her late husband Carl Dean, who passed away six months ago. Dolly recalled a rare moment when Carl, who famously shunned the spotlight throughout their six-decade marriage, joined her for an impromptu performance at the Kentucky State Fair. She described the memory as “so out of character for him” and laughed about how the prank unraveled onstage—with Dolly even jokingly telling security she didn't know him, until her road manager intervened.A major headline from AOL announced Dolly's Las Vegas return later this year: she's set for six shows at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace in December, marking her first extended residency there in 32 years. “To say I'm excited would be an understatement,” Dolly said in her statement, making clear her enthusiasm for reconnecting with fans in Vegas. The concerts, appropriately titled “Dolly: Live in Las Vegas,” promise seven decades of hits and a setlist fans have dreamt about, along with VIP packages for some up-close Dolly moments. This run coincides with the National Finals Rodeo, turning Vegas into a true Parton-palooza.Meanwhile, Dolly has not just been performing—she's been the subject of a musical about her life, “Dolly: A True Original Musical,” which opened in Nashville in January and is reportedly eyeing Broadway, according to Playbill and AOL. For fans of orchestral music, her multimedia production “Threads: My Songs in Symphony” continues its national tour, bringing Dolly's classics to the concert stage with a symphonic twist—in fact, she headlined in Indianapolis on September 20.The week was not without health-related speculations. People and IMDb reported that Dolly missed the highly anticipated announcement for Dollywood's newest ride due to kidney stone recovery, causing a ripple of concern among fans. Dolly addressed her absence cheerfully in a video message, promising she was with everyone “in spirit” and expected to be back in action soon.Book lovers, mark November 11 on your calendar. “Star of the Show: My Life on Stage”—Dolly's third photographic memoir—drops soon. Reba McEntire called Dolly “her hero” during their livestreamed chat, raving about Dolly's generosity, wit, and authenticity. The pair traded decades of stories, reinforcing their mutual admiration in a conversation that felt like a masterclass on both friendship and show business.Social media buzz has been lively, too. Dolly's enduring impact was referenced in a viral tweet picked up by HuffPost Women, joking about how “it's getting harder and harder to tumble out of bed, stumble into my kitchen to pour a cup of ambition every day,” a playful nod to her “9 to 5” lyrics that perfectly captures her crossover into everyday pop culture.So whether she's sparking Vegas fever, sharing deeply personal stories, celebrating her own journey in new artistic ways, or trending in meme form, Dolly Parton remains a force whose every move resonates far beyond country music. Onward with rhinestones, resilience, and remarkable grace—this week's Dolly headlines are, as always, pure gold.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

In this episode, the gang discusse Twinless, the Emmys, the Pitt, The Long Walk, 28 Years Later, The Man Who Killed Hitler And Then The Bigfoot, Alien Earth, Friendship, and Upload. This episode kicks off with just Kevin and Lauren. They discuss the new film Twinless, starring Dylan O'Brien. It's a low-budget affair that should have had a better release. Despite its less-than-stellar advertising, the film is excellent, getting great reviews on both Rotten Tomatoes and IMDB. It's a film about two men who meet in a group for those who have lost their twins, and the emotional journey they take together. It's definitely worth watching in the theater if you can find it, but otherwise catch it as soon as it streams somewhere! Andrew joins the call, and when Lauren finishes, the gang discusses the 2025 Emmys. While they generally agreed with the victors, some of the nominees were questionable. Many shows had too many nominations, whereas some more deserving had none. But overall, the Emmys got it right. The Emmy discussion leads us straight into Lauren's review of the series "The Pitt" on HBO. It's a 15-episode series about life in a Pittsburgh emergency room. It stars new Emmy winner, Noah Wiley The show is shot in an almost a 24-like method where the 15 episodes are basically in real time. This show deserved every award it won. After Lauren says goodnight, it's left up to Kevin and Andrew. Andrew had the opportunity to see "The Long Walk" in theaters this week. While Kevin hasn't seen it, he's a huge Stephen King fan, so he's been very much anticipating this review. Overall, Andrew liked the movie and recommends it, although some issues with bodily functions may have sent him a little over the edge. That being said, it's worth seeing in the theater if you have the time and the money, so go check it out. For the first time in a while, we get to a film that both guys have seen, 28 Years Later. This is an extension of 28 DaysWeeks Later and is definitely in a more run-down world than we've seen before. Past films seem to suggest that the rage virus affected the entire world, but it now seems isolated to the United Kingdom. Survivors are now in quarantine in the UK. This is the story of a both falling out with his father and coming into his own to save his mother's life. There are some great performances by Jodie Comer and Ralph Fiennes, as well as the young lead. This one is definitely worth checking out now that it's streaming on Netflix. Next up, it's just Kevin for a minute, and e talks about a film called "The Man Who Killed Hitler and Then the Bigfoot". If, by chance, you're reading this before you watch the episode, it's recommend that you take a minute and think about what you imagine this film would be. As you watch Kevin talk about it, you'll find it's absolutely nothing like anything you thought it would be. It stars Sam Elliott, and that's all we'll say here. We may not recommend going to watch this film, even though it's on Hulu, but it's interesting. If you want to see a story of a man's life journey, then go check it out. Keeping with the theme of things that probably no one will watch, Andrew watched "Friendship" this week, so it gives Kevin a chance to grill him about what he thought of the film. Generally speaking, both gentlemen agree that it's not the best film. It's neither funny nor dramatic. The argument could be made that the actors were very good, arguably too good, but overall, the film itself just is not worth watching. After a deep breath, Kevin and Andrew talk about the penultimate episode of Alien Earth, which is obviously excellent. There's a lot to unpack here because the guys haven't talked about it for a couple of weeks. Overall, the guys have loved the season so far and are really excited to see where it goes, although there's some hesitation as to whether they can end it properly, knowing that it may not even get a second season. There's a good discussion and, of course, some predictions for the finale, which may or may not have come true. So give it a listen and then go watch the season finale, which just aired. Kevin closes out the show talking about the series finale of Upload on Amazon Prime. It's a short fourth season, which amounts to a four-part series finale. Overall, it's been a lot of fun to watch. If you started watching from the beginning, you'll be satisfied with the ending. If you haven't watched, it's almost a mash-up of The Good Place and Idiocracy. You have to be in the mood for some silly humor, but it is very creative and a lot of fun, and the comedic acting is on point. So if that is your jam, go give it a watch and enjoy. As always, thank you for watching. If you haven't already, don't forget to Like & Subscribe. We love new viewers! Also, leave us comments and let us know how we are doing and what we can be doing better. Enjoy the episode and have a great week!

For some, the memories of the 1980s feature seeing the cover multiple Time and Newsweek magazines, fearing that America might go to war with Russia. It didn't help that the Russians were often portrayed as the default villains in movies, TV shows, and even WWF matches. Then, there was this '80s flick. A group of high school students calling themselves “Wolverines” retreat into the wilderness after Soviet paratroopers descend on their small Colorado town. The Wolverines manage to launch an armed insurgency against the communist invaders while also dealing with their own personal trauma, fears, and the end of adolescence. Featuring a talented young cast—before they became stars—it remains a nostalgic classic. So jump in the back of Jed's pick-up truck, count your remaining RPGs, and head to the mountains as Tim Williams and guest co-host, Chris Adams from "Retro Life 4 You" Podcast discuss “Red Dawn” from 1984 on this episode of the 80s Flick Flashback! Here are some additional behind-the-scenes trivia we were unable to cover in this episode:Red Dawn co-casting director Jane Jenkins said Milius asked auditioning actresses, “What would happen if you were in the wilderness and starving? Could you kill a bunny?” He emphasized “bunny,” not “rabbit,” and added, “Could you kill, skin, and eat it?” The girls were horrified and didn't proceed further. Those who said, “If it were life or death...” advanced to read for their roles.The U.S. flag in the classroom at the start of the movie, and other scenes, is a 48-star flag. This was the flag during World War II, and it's a symbolic reference for a movie portraying the start of World War III.At the end of the movie, Colonel Bella says "Vaya con Dios" to Jed, played by Patrick Swayze. Similarly, in "Point Break", Johnny Utah says the same final words to Bodhi, also played by Patrick Swayze.Sources:Wikipedia, IMDB, BoxOfficeMojohttps://www.slashfilm.com/1181059/patrick-swayze-had-to-shoulder-a-lot-of-responsibility-behind-the-scenes-of-red-dawn/https://www.military.com/off-duty/movies/2017/03/29/8-things-you-probably-never-knew-about-red-dawn.htmlhttps://www.mentalfloss.com/article/554107/facts-about-red-dawnhttps://www.hollywoodintoto.com/red-dawn-1984-blu-ray-review/Some sections were composed by ChatGPTWe'd love to hear your thoughts on our podcast!

In this episode, we sit down with London-based cinematographer Jerry Amadi-Pradon, whose eye for visual storytelling was shaped on the sunlit sets of Guadeloupe and sharpened through years behind the camera across Europe and beyond. From painting and photography to the world of moving images, Jerry's path has always followed the light. He began with TV dramas for France Télévisions and has since grown into a bold visual artist with a unique signature.We explore Jerry's transition from assistant to auteur, capturing everything from high-profile commercials for Adidas and Volkswagen to fashion films for designers like Tolu Coker. His work weaves through narrative and documentary forms, always grounded in an emotional truth that carries from scene to scene. With collaborations at production houses like Compulsory and Soho House, Jerry has built a portfolio that speaks for itself.Jerry takes us behind the lens of A Letter to Black Men, a poignant web series adapted from Kiosa Sukami's acclaimed short. In this conversation, he breaks down the visual language he crafted to honor Black identity and vulnerability, and what it meant to help bring that story to a larger audience. His words are as measured as his frames, and the intent behind every choice is unmistakable.More than a cinematographer, Jerry is a storyteller with a painter's patience and a traveler's eye. Join us as we talk about long-form dreams, small moments of magic on set, and the enduring power of an image to move, to question, and to connect.Jerry Amadi-Pradon's Website: https://www.jerrypradon.com/Jerry Amadi-Pradon's IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4013190/?ref_=ext_shr_lnkJerry Amadi-Pradon's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jerry_amadi_pradon_dop/Jerry Amadi-Pradon's Vimeo: https://vimeo.com/jeysurvimeoJerry Amadi-Pradon's LinkedIn: http://www.linkedin.com/in/jerry-amadi-pradon-a2366a27Support the showVisual Intonation Website: https://www.visualintonations.com/Visual Intonation Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/visualintonation/Vante Gregory's Website: vantegregory.comVante Gregory's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/directedbyvante/ To support me on Patreon (thank you): patreon.com/visualintonations Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@visualintonation Tiktok: www.tiktok.com/@directedbyvante
Hammer horror reaches peak gothic chills with The Plague of the Zombies (1966), a Hammer Film Productions classic that defines British horror cinema. Shot at Bray Studios from 28 July 1965 and filmed back-to-back with Hammer's The Reptile (see episode 19), it used the same eerie Cornish village set designed by Hammer's celebrated production designer Bernard Robinson. Director John Gilling – the so-called “gentleman pig farmer” behind The Shadow of the Cat and The Mummy's Shroud – stages a story of graveyards, curses and the undead that became a template for Hammer zombie horror. Writer Peter Bryan, who joined Hammer Film Productions in 1948 as a camera operator before turning to screenwriting, provided the script and left the studio shortly after completing A Challenge for Robin Hood in 1967. When The Plague of the Zombies was submitted to the BBFC it was heavily trimmed: André Morell's Sir James Forbes originally decapitated a zombie with four shovel blows in the graveyard sequence, reduced to one for the censors. Heatherden Hall at Pinewood Studios doubles as the Forbes mansion, better known to James Bond fans as SPECTRE Island from From Russia With Love. Diane Clare, cast as Sylvia, had been one of the best-paid child “film babies” of the 1940s, appearing in The Ghosts of Berkeley Square and The Silver Fleet before leading roles in Hammer horror such as The Haunting, Witchcraft and The Hand of the Night. Her entire performance in The Plague of the Zombies was dubbed by South African actress Olive Gregg without her knowledge, a practice Hammer repeated when re-voicing Ingrid Pitt in Countess Dracula. André Morell himself had turned down both The Quatermass Experiment and Quatermass II on television before finally playing Professor Bernard Quatermass in the BBC's Quatermass and the Pit. When Hammer Film Productions made the feature version the role went to Andrew Keir. Morell also played O'Brien opposite Peter Cushing's Winston Smith in Nineteen Eighty-Four, Dr Watson in Hammer's Hound of the Baskervilles, voiced Elrond in Ralph Bakshi's The Lord of the Rings and appeared in Doctor Who. Quiz fans: Morell appeared in three films nominated for the Best Picture Oscar – can you name them? John Carson, born in Ceylon (now Sri Lanka), plays Clive Hamilton. He spent time in Australia and New Zealand before settling in Britain, later featuring in Doctor Who's Snakedance, Tales of the Unexpected and Hammer House of Horror. IMDb longlists even connect him to Tobe Hooper's Lifeforce (episode 39) though he got none of the roles. With this episode we complete a Hammer horror hat-trick of his films: Captain Kronos (episode 51), Taste the Blood of Dracula (episode 60) and now The Plague of the Zombies. He later emigrated to South Africa with his second wife, Luanshya Greer – formerly Pamela Greer, who became a TV writer for Dixon of Dock Green, Thriller and Triangle. Dr Peter Tompson is played by Brook Williams, a lifelong friend of Richard Burton who appeared with him in Where Eagles Dare, The Wild Geese and The Sea Wolves. Michael Ripper appears as Sergeant Swift; Hammer's most prolific supporting actor with 33 Hammer Film Productions credits, seven films alongside Peter Cushing and nine with #BigChrisLee. Ripper also starred in all four original St Trinian's films, . For a deeper dive into Jacqueline “Servalan” Pearce, check back to our episode on The Reptile (episode 19). This discussion of The Plague of the Zombies cements its place as one of Hammer horror's boldest British horror releases of the 1960sSupport this show http://supporter.acast.com/general-witchfinders.

We're back again — fresh off our little Not Woody Actually detour — with another thoughtful instillment of Woody Allen Adjacent! This time, Donald and James turn their attention to Celine Song's The Materialists. Marketed like a conventional romantic comedy, the film instead plays out as a melancholic character study about love, ambition, and the ways relationships risk becoming transactional rather than organic. It's a distinctly modern take on dating and connection — one that's clearly split audiences, even as the critics seem to adore this one. (Critics vs. audiences… go figure. :P) We ended up pretty mixed ourselves, but between the strong craft, the solid performances, and the themes at play, The Materialists made for another fascinating Woody Adjacent discussion.!

EPISODE 146 | The Bicameral World of the Zizians One striking thing about the many stories that have appeared about the Zizians and the crimes they are accused of committing, is that each one starts at a different place. Some start with the attack on a Vallejo landlord that resulted in his being run through with a samurai sword and then work backwards and then forwards. Others begin their tale with the shooting of an older couple in Pennsylvania. Still others kick things off with the shooting death of a Border Patrol agent up near the Canadian border. As a result, it can be a bit difficult to get a handle on exactly what happened when and what the several people currently in police custody are accused of. Like what we do?

The cinematic career of every actor must end at some point, and on this episode of Baconsale we're going to be discussing the best and worst examples of some final films. Joel has a theory that no one's last IMDb credit is great, while Kent is just proud of himself for watching movies older than 1980. And Zack is going to be picking apart their choices as we debate cameos versus starring roles, animated voice work versus live-action roles, and if TV movies actually count. There will be times when we bring the room down little as we talk about celebrity deaths and conspiracy theories, but we'll do our best to keep things light-hearted as we examine the concluding performances of some well-known actors and actresses. Posthumously press play!

Lee is joined by returning guests and good friends Greg and Nick to cover the first 5 films in the "Friday the 13th" franchise. General things they liked and didn't like, best kills, and the overall direction of the series up to that point are talked about. And, because they are all red-blooded Canadian men, they drool a bit over the lovely ladies of the series. It ends up making for a fun and breezy 2hr conversation. Don't fuck, don't do drugs, and stay the fuck away from camp, and instead just listen to us talk about one of the ultimate examples of cinematic junk food.

Scott Brown and Anthony King are the Tony-nominated writers behind Beetlejuice the Musical. Together they adapted Tim Burton's cult classic into a Broadway hit that blends grief, special effects, and lots of laughs. I am an unabashedly huge fan of Beetlejuice the Musical, which first opened on Broadway in April 2019, closed in March 2020 due to the pandemic, returned for a second run in April 2022, and wrapped again in January 2023. Now the show is set for its third Broadway engagement at the Palace Theatre, running October 8, 2025 through January 3, 2026, and I cannot wait because I have really missed this show.In this conversation, Scott and Anthony share how they built the show's unique tone, why fourth-wall breaking was the key to unlocking Beetlejuice onstage, and how endless iteration in workshops and previews sharpened the comedy and emotional beats. They also discuss the responsibility of protecting and adapting iconic properties.Here are Scott Brown and Anthony King.Show NotesStage & Film Projects MentionedBeetlejuice the MusicalBeetlejuice Jr.Gutenberg the MusicalBeetlejuiceLost Boys (musical in development)Death Becomes Her (musical adaptation referenced)Hamilton (filmed stage production mentioned as preservation model)Stranger Things stage productionMovies & Shows ReferencedDeadpool (comparison for Beetlejuice's tone)Rick and MortySouth ParkPeople MentionedTim Burton (original film director)Michael McDowell (original Beetlejuice screenwriter)Eddie Perfect (songwriter, performing Beetlejuice in Australia)Alex Brightman (actor, Beetlejuice on Broadway)Follow Scott Brown at:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/9scott9Website: https://www.scottbrownwritesthings.com/IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm4447552/Follow Anthony King at:IMDb: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm1511524/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/theanthonyking/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/theanthonyking/LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/anthony-king-4738a594/

Back in 2017, Carrie and Jake drank gutter water and watched the Riverdale episode that IMDB users claim is the worst of the season. We didn't hate it, though. Also, Jake reads some poetry, Carrie gets a little pervy about Jughead and Cheryl, and Jake texts Carrie about Val. All this, and more, in this week's episode of 'Riverdale Phoenix', in which Carrie and Jake discuss Riverdale Chapter 9: La Grande Illusion. The theme song is "JOSIE HAS THE UPPER HAND" by Josh Woodward. Free download: http://joshwoodward.com/
The city of San Antonio is beautiful and its River Walk is famous. The historic Gunter Hotel sits along that River Walk. That spot has hosted a hotel for nearly 190 years. The Gunter itself was built in 1909 and stands 11 stories. The hotel provides high end accommodations and amenities, one of which is an old time barber shop. There is more than meets the eye at the Gunter Hotel though. The history here includes a horrific murder mystery and this has led many to believe that the hotel is haunted. The Emily Morgan Hotel sits right next to The Alamo and started off as a state-of-the-art medical facility. Today, it is a hotel that offers luxurious accommodations and there are reportedly ghosts in this building. Some believe that the hotel is far more haunted than even the Alamo. Join us for the history and hauntings of the Gunter and Emily Morgan Hotels.
