Stories are shared from Hull, Rome, Koko and Funny Girls, and there's talk of theme parks, toilet breaks, inflatable beds and popstar dreams.

For over 40 years, William Wyler was one of Hollywood's most dependable classicists, culminating in 1968 with the ultimate New Hollywood-era throwback to Old Hollywood, Funny Girl. Then, for his final film in 1970, Wyler uncharacteristically directed a searing indictment of contemporary race relations, called The Liberation of LB Jones.

Chris Parker is an award winning comedian, actor, writer, show-runner and podcaster.  This past year Chris hosted the New Zealand Comedy Festival Gala, and toured his latest show, Give Me One Good Reason Why I Shouldn't Throw My Phone Off This Bridge, to full houses throughout Australia and New Zealand. He also made his prime-time Australian TV debut on Thank God You're Here (where he won the episode) and released the highly anticipated second season of Double Parked. Chris Parker is most commonly known for his funny Instagram and TikTok videos which built him a huge social media audience over the last few years. His legendary win on the hit New Zealand TV show Celebrity Treasure Island made history! His 2018 New Zealand International Comedy Festival show Camp Binch, was awarded the prestigious Fred Award for Best Show in the Festival and went on to play to 5-star reviews and sell-out crowds at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival. Fun fact, the felt hat he made during the 2020 nationwide lockdown was acquired by and is on display at The Auckland Museum and Te Papa the National Museum of New Zealand. Kinda dramatic – don't you agree? Chris is a theatre graduate from the renowned drama school Toi Whakaari O Aotearoa and he has appeared in and written multiple theatre shows across New Zealand, most notably Hudson and Halls Live! Where Chris played one-half of the famous gay cooking duo, David Halls and won best actor at the 2017 Wellington Theatre Awards. Chris has appeared in feature films such as Baby Done, The Breaker Upperers and Nude Tuesday and has two feature films of his own currently in development. As a comedian and writer Chris is a regular face on New Zealand television appearing on 7 Days, Have You Been Paying Attention NZ, Jono and Ben, Funny Girls, Season 3 of Taskmaster New Zealand and the sitcom Golden Boy. Chris also co-hosts the podcast The Male Gays with fellow comedian Eli Matthewson, which has an upcoming digital video series in production. Chris was listed as The Herald's top 5 Entertainment Heroes of 2020 and in 2021, was nominated for Television Personality of the Year. In 2022, Chris was the recipient of the inaugural Topp Prize awarded by the New Zealand Comedy Trust for Aotearoa's most generous and gifted comedian. That same year released the comedy/documentary special Chris Parker: Back To School, about all boy schools in Christchurch. Chris embarked on an Australian and New Zealand national tour of his show Gentle Man to sold-out crowds and 5-star reviews and his debut novel Here for a Good Time was released through Allen & Unwin. In 2023, Chris toured his new show, Lots of Love, Chris Parker, to sold-out audiences in Australia and New Zealand. Chris's new comedy series, Double Parked, premiered in June and was created and written with Alice Snedden. He was the show runner and writer for the narrative comedy series Double Parked and is currently touring his live stand up (Stop Being So Dramatic) shows across New Zealand and Australia. Stop Being So Dramatic are four words the self-proclaimed People's Princess of Aotearoa Chris Parker has heard his whole life. Now those words also happen to be the name of his show touring Australia and New Zealand in 2025. At the culturally relevant age of 34, Chris is ready to address the drama queen allegations head-on. Stop Being So Dramatic promises to be an hour of high-intensity, feverishly paced and dizzyingly expressive comedy, it's a one-man variety spectacle, chill, stand-up hour of laughs. That doesn't sound dramatic at all – does it? Chris admits, there is some merit to the accusations, such as crying in every speech he's ever delivered publicly, and there may have been a situation this year where he slept on his neck weirdly resulting in a neck brace. Still, Chris is sure he's just a chilled guy, down to Earth and he's ready to prove it to you in Stop Being So Dramatic.   We chat about his evolving voice, performing on a broken foot (multiple times), being an improv king and his 10 hour improv day, being the felting guy, his upcoming tour, being a show runner and leadership, thriving on celebrity treasure island plus plenty more!

Der skal tales om seje kvinder igen! Denne gang gør vi det med "Funny Girl", der både runder Lea Michele, Fanny Brice og selvfølgelig Barbara Streissand. Der er store følelser på spil i dagens afsnit og der skydes ønsker afsted mod musical-skaberne om drømmerollen - om det er Jespers eller Louises, må I lytte for at finde ud af. 

What is musical theatre, if not a vessel talented women to perform their hearts out? This week, Logan and Sammie will dive deep into two shows about performing women (obviously played by some of the most iconic performing women!) Tune in as we discuss Anything Goes and Funny Girl!

Everyone's feuding again this week on Glee on the Rocks. This is S5E9, "Frenemies."  Glee once again raises the age old question: are these people even friends at all? Probably not. Artie and Tina, two of our New Directions OGs, compete for both Senior Class Valedictorian and a solo at Nationals. Which...is a like a week or two away. You'd think they'd have this set list locked up by now. In NYC, Santana decides to audition for the role of understudy in Funny Girl. Rachel's Funny Girl. Rachel's dream role that only she gets to play, apparently. And Rachel takes it very, very well. (She doesn't.) This revives their own feud that has never actually died.

Stories are the connective tissue of humanity. They reveal our commonality, our struggles, and our triumphs. And in the vibrant chaos of the world, some individuals rise with a unique ability to live, breathe, and tell these stories—through performance, words, and relentless passion. Today, we welcome Jenny Paul, an actress and producer who has graced both the stage and the screen with her ever-determined spirit. From the thrill of audition buses to the glow of marquee lights, her story is one of discovery, reinvention, and creative bravery.In her early days, Jenny Paul didn't always envision a life under the spotlight. A college journey steeped in the sciences and pre-med seemed like the logical path. After all, the family line carried the torch of medicine. But as life often does, the whisper of the theater grew louder in her soul.She described it as the moment where pre-med stress led her to a beautiful refuge—acting. "I realized I didn't have to help people as a doctor when I could tell stories that connect them to their own humanity." It's a revelation that many artists encounter—the power of creation to heal, uplift, and illuminate.The road to success, however, was neither instant nor smooth. She spoke fondly (and hilariously) of her early audition adventures in New York. Picture this: college weekends spent traveling on the infamous Chinatown bus, a transportation experience where even survival felt uncertain. But grit fuels passion. Jenny's first big break came with the musical Funny Girl in New York, where she played a role usually reserved for women decades her senior. It was a peculiar but prophetic start, teaching her to embrace any opportunity with both hands and a courageous heart.Her journey transitioned into film and television, a space where nuance thrives. Acting on stage had taught her to amplify, to project; film taught her the power of subtlety. That lesson came full circle when she landed her role in Jessica Jones. It was a playful audition—Jenny embraced her character's full fan-girl persona with comic charm. She recalled, "Sometimes you just have to throw yourself into it without overthinking. Be bold, be genuine, and have fun." Such simplicity in approach often holds the secret to great art.Beyond acting, Jenny has stepped behind the scenes as a producer. Like many artists, she found herself in a place where waiting for roles felt too passive. Producing, she explained, is about creating opportunities—for herself, for others, and for stories that need to be told.It's a lesson in creative autonomy and the entrepreneurial spirit that every modern artist must embrace.Discussed was her upcoming work, the Hulu series The Looming Tower, Jenny's tone shifted to reverence. Based on true events, the show dramatizes the tension between the FBI and CIA leading up to 9/11, offering a sobering look at miscommunication and its grave consequences. Jenny plays one of the “lemmings,” a young CIA analyst working under questionable leadership. Though her role may offer comic relief, the gravity of the story left its mark. "It's rare to work on something that feels like it truly matters, that tells a truth the world needs to hear."The beauty of Jenny Paul's story is its relatability. It's about perseverance in an industry where nothing is guaranteed, about finding fulfillment in both the work and the struggle. She reminds us that life's bus rides may be bumpy, the rejections many, and the roles unexpected, but the joy is in the doing.

This episode is sponsored by AlixPartners The Disruption Matters special podcast series is back for a third season, and this year, leading industry experts discuss how private markets can best use today's technologies to create value. In this fourth episode, we discuss tech's role in improving the speed, rigour and ease of roll-up strategies, where a private equity firm acquires a platform company in a fragmented industry and uses M&A to consolidate targets to create a market leader. It's a popular strategy for the simple reason: it's worked so well in recent years. We'll look at what today's cutting-edge tools, including AI, can do for roll-up strategies, and where human expertise and experience still can't be replaced. Guests include David Poole, partner, executive chair of digital at Stanley Capital; Max Julian Kaye, principal at Battery Ventures; Saurabh Singh, partner at AlixPartners; Jason McDannold, partner and managing director at AlixPartners; and Hoyoung Pak, partner and managing director at AlixPartners.

No other movie we've watched for Streisand on the Beach was on the Criterion channel until Funny Girl! This is the big movie. Streisand's breakout moment. She stars as a woman who wants to be a singer and a comedian! But back in the '20s, women were only supposed to look a certain way and be pretty. She does it, though, with the help of her friend and potential lover, Omar Sharif. I don't feel like I'm selling you on this movie, but Barbera has unbelievable charisma in this movie, which is impossible to describe.Remember to join our Discord for movie nights and further podcast discussions!Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/the-other-half/exclusive-content

And if this is too big of a commitment, I'm always thankful for a simple cup of coffee.]A few months ago, in the midst of the national fervor over President Biden's debate performance, I was in a pretty terrible mood listening to it all and decided to take a long walk through D.C.I put on some sunscreen, popped in my earbuds with a good playlist, and took a stroll around town, about an hour later finding myself on a residential street.As I was wandering down the sidewalk, I saw a cyclist approaching from the opposite direction pretty fast and carrying a 7/11 Big Gulp in one hand, his other paw on the handle bar. Before I could process my curiosity over the balance and hand-eye coordination it takes to do that, he tossed the cup, underhand, in a high arc, right onto the grass divider between the street and the sidewalk. He had passed by a public trash can not thirty yards away at the intersection. He simply decided to deposit his garbage there, on the grass, and let someone else clean it up for him.Like I said, I was already in a bad mood, and this just pissed me right off. I was also stunned because who the hell does that? Without really thinking, I tried shouting something, but all that came out was a weak, anger-tinged “Hey!”He heard me, and without turning his head around, tossed up his right middle finger, formerly holding up the Big Gulp, and sped away.So, now, I felt both angry and ridiculous for saying something, and then I felt angry at myself for feeling ridiculous for saying something.Did I mention I was in a terrible mood and the whole point of this walk in the D.C. summer heat was to reset and clear my head?I took a few moments to calm down. I told myself that I was probably making way too much out of the actions of this dorkass, inconsiderate weirdo, and then, I walked over and picked up the ice-rattling Big Gulp and threw it in the trash.I was still incredibly annoyed, but if I can be emotionally undone by some random, littering clown, isn't that on me? That's what I told myself, anyway.A week-and-a-half later, my friend Gautam invited me to a matinee showing of “Funny Girl” at the Kennedy Center, a much needed reprieve from the never-ending hell that had become July. It was fantastic. We had a great time. I felt better than I had in weeks.I walked for several blocks after the show and decided to call a ride home. While I was sitting in the outside section of a restaurant on that street and waiting, out of the corner of my eye, I noticed a woman slowly making her way down the sidewalk.She was wearing a floppy hat and carrying a trash bag and a litter picker (there are, apparently, many names for this device, but I'm going with that one). I watched as she meticulously made her way down the sidewalk, grabbing every bit of trivial debris she could find and tossing it in the bag.She was clearly focused on her task of cleaning the street, and I didn't wanna interrupt but my curiosity got the better of me.“Excuse me, Ma'am, can I ask: are you with an organization?”There were probably more elegant ways to inquire, but my sleep-deprived brain was doing the best it could.She looked up at me, offered a kind (and perhaps bemused) smile, and said: “Nope, this is just something I like to do.”Ah.“Well, thank you for doing that,” I replied. “I hope you have a lovely day.”“Of course! You have a lovely day, too.”My ride pulled up a moment later. On the way home, as I sat in the backseat, I couldn't help but regret letting myself get angry at Trash Cyclist a few weeks prior, allowing, even for a second, someone that uncaring to get to me. What a waste of my emotional energy.Our country has always had people like Trash Cyclist, folks who have given up on moving through the world with empathy and consideration for those around them, people whose chronic nihilism has metastasized into the public square and everyone around them is forced to clean up their mess.That's the uncharitable take, of course. Maybe the charitable take is that Trash Cyclist was having a bad day, too. Maybe tossing his garbage on the street and flipping off a complaint was uncharacteristic. Maybe his life sucks right now because the world hasn't shown much consideration and empathy for him.That's possible. I don't personally know the guy. Perhaps if I ever got to know him, I'd learn that he's got a lot of pain inside from any number of unfair things life has thrown his way and has no idea how to deal with it and tossing a Big Gulp in the street like a complete dillweed is his response.It ain't likely, mind you, but I can't deny that's possible.But the thing is: when I felt enraged that day, furious at our political environment and then taking out my anger on this dipstick-on-wheels for throwing his trash on the sidewalk, I made choices myself. I chose to get angry. I chose to remain annoyed. Sure, I threw away the cup, which took all of ten seconds, but I could have made the choice to get a trash bag and clean up that whole sidewalk myself. It wouldn't have taken long, maybe ten minutes total.I could have done something kind and thoughtful in response to something maybe done out of hurt. It probably would have made me feel better. But I didn't make that choice. No one asked that woman in the floppy hat to spend her afternoon cleaning up the sidewalks in her neighborhood as an unappreciated public service. She simply chose to do it because it needed to be done, and it made her feel better. I think we're living through a time in which it's much easier for us to decide that the world sucks and society is exhausting and why even bother? It may not manifest in tossing our garbage in the streets, but maybe it does manifest when we let that distract us to anger rather than service to each other.I think there's often a great courage in consistently centering an imperative to serve others we don't know, especially when it's thankless. I admit it's not a quality I've yet mastered. I promise these two individuals are not shoehorned stand-ins for Vice President Harris and Trump. I don't know the respective politics of the Lady in the Floppy Hat and the Trash Cyclist. They're complete strangers, and I only saw them both in mere snapshots of their lives.But I do think that conscious effort to serve others, to do something for the greater good as an antidote for existing mess, an often thankless approach, is magnificently embodied by Vice President Harris and Gov. Walz.I think if they're consistently doing that and I'm not, when I certainly have the time and space to do so, any grievances I have over our national community maybe don't hold as much water as I'd like to think.Maybe I need to carry a folded-up trash bag with me on those long walks and do something about it.

If you've spent any time in the comedy space on TikTok, you've definitely seen Delaney Rowe's hyperspecific and painfully accurate characters, such as "the insufferable female lead" and "the worst person on earth."

How many of us lose a part of ourselves over time, either not realizing it, being in denial, or making the choice to allow it to happen because it was seemingly easier to go with the flow, or to appease a spouse or a parent or someone in our lives. I went to see the Broadway touring show of Funny Girl recently, and so many feelings came to the surface, including the feeling of my younger self rumbling beneath. She was feeling a bit overlooked, and I also saw a part of myself in Fanny Brice; perhaps a part of me that has been ignored at times over the years. It was an emotional day. Why are so many of us willing to give up our passions, our preferences, our dreams?? And why are we so afraid to ask for what we need and want?  In this episode I share a very personal story in hopes that if you can relate, perhaps it will help you take some kind of action on your path to finding peace in your heart, your mind and soul so that you can live life the way you wish to live it. No matter your age.

Katy O'Brian chats with Mase & Sue about her tailor-made role in Rose Glass' provocative indie revenge thriller LOVE LIES BLEEDING.

Single-handedly redefining the term “character actor,” the accomplished Richard Kind is surely one of the hardest working people in show business. His resume is unfathomably wide and deep, with over 270 film and television credits, spanning roles that exploit his killer comedic timing, like sitcoms “Spin City” and “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” and those that exercise his dramatic chops, like HBO's “Luck” and the CBS procedural “East New York.” He's an actor just as likely to appear in an Oscar-winning feature film as an animated one, to scene-steal a sketch comedy series as to star in an indie short. Kind is also a Tony-nominated stage actor, having appeared on Broadway in “The Producers,” “Funny Girl” and “The Big Knife,” among many others. Richard Kind speaks with host Alec Baldwin about the type of comedians that raised him, how he found his way to the profession after almost attending law school – and why he believes he is the “Costco of acting,”See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
