Podcasts about George Michael

As What Next celebrates Juneteenth, please enjoy this episode ⁠from our colleagues at Hit Parade⁠. What Next will be back in your feed on Monday. Little Richard was rock ‘n' roll's flamboyant architect. Lesley Gore sang that no one owned her. Sylvester was a gender-fluid icon who helped define disco. Freddie Mercury made rock operatic, and George Michael demanded freedom. What all of these LGBTQ artists had in common was bold hitmaking—and fear of being fully out of the closet. For decades, queer acts topped the charts while cloaking their true identities and paving the way for today's more openly queer stars. For Pride Month, join Chris Molanphy as he traces the hidden history of queer hitmakers on the charts—including those that managed to be both out and No. 1, right up through our modern age of Lil Nas X and Chappell Roan. It's a celebration of these artists' quest to feel… mighty real. Want more Hit Parade?

Bhí sé ag chéad amhrán a bhí ar an raidió a chuaigh chuigh uimhir a haon gan aon tráchtála ón eisigh. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Shia LaBeouf I Meiriceá I 1986 agus rugadh aisteoir Hugh Laurie sa Bhreatain ar an lá seo I 1959 agus seo chuid de na rudaí a rinne sé.

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 9ú lá de mí an Mheithimh, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1978 tháinig an nuacht amach go bheir an airm agus na gardaí ar drong a ghoid 400 mhíle punt ó veain I Luimneach agus beir siad orthu ó eangach. I 2000 tháinig sé amach go raibh rátaí iasacht tithíochta ag dul suas ach go mbeadh an praghas de thí ag laghdú don chéad uair I 5 bhliain. I 2001 chuaigh an fhoireann iománaíocht Tiobraid Árann chuig cluiche ceannais na Mumhan agus bhuaigh siad I gcoinne an Chláir le pointe amháin. Ghortaíodh John Leahy I rith an chluiche agus ní raibh siad cinnte ag an am an mbeadh sé chun imir arís an bhliain sin. I 2010 d'oscail bóthair nua san Aonach Urmhumhan in ainneoin na rudaí a dúirt na daoine a raibh ina chónaí ann.

I 2007 bhí George Michael an chéad duine chun ceolchoirm a bheith acu ag an stad nua Wembley I Londain agus bhí dhá cheolchoirm aige ar a turas 25 Live Tour. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Michael J Fox I gCeanada I 1961 agus rugadh aisteoir Johnny Depp I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 1963 agus seo chuid de na rudaí a rinne sé. Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 9th of June, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1978: An armed gang who got away with £400,000 from a security van in west Limerick slipped through the huge army and garda dragnet combing 3 counties for them. 2000: home loan rates were going up but housing prices were starting to fall for the first time in 5 years. 2001 – Tipperary Senior Hurlers reached a Munster Final, they won over Clare by a single point. It came at a cost with John Leahy taken off injured and a chance of missing the final was a possibility.  2010 - A much-debated new road opened in Nenagh despite continued opposition from local residents. Dubbed the ‘Ormond Keep Road,' the new route travels between several housing estates and forms part of a plan conceived by Nenagh Town Council.  That was Jason Donovan with Sealed With A Kiss – the biggest song on this day in 1989 Onto music news on this day In 1990 Wilson Phillips went to No.1 on the US with 'Hold On'. 25 years earlier to the day Wendy and Carnies father Beach Boy Brian Wilson had been at No.1 with 'Help Me Rhonda'. 2007 George Michael became the first music artist to perform at the new Wembley Stadium in London when he played the first of two shows at the venue during his '25 Live Tour'. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – actor Michael J Fox was born in Canada in 1961 and actor Johnny Depp was born in America on this day in 1963 and this is some of the stuff he has done. I'll be back with you tomorrow with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 2ú lá de mí an Mheithimh, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1978 sheol an Aire Sláinte Charles Haughey scéim ar leith chun cabhrú le daoine óga sna cathracha a raibh riosca orthu damáiste a dhéanamh dá shaol. I 2000 bhí na hairí ón thuaidh faoi ionsaí ó na n-antoisceach ó dhá thaobh. I 1998 maraíodh 15 eallach ar fheirm I Toomevara de bharr go raibh toirneach agus tintreach ann. Bhí na heallaí ar foscadh faoi chrann seiceamar nuair a bhí sé ag cur báistí go trom agus thit an crann orthu. I 2006 bhí rangú san Aonach Urmhumhan sa tábla IBAL go hiontach mar chuaigh siad ó 'go leor bruscar' go 'níl aon bhruscar ann'. Chuaigh siad ó 51ú háit chuig 13ú háit. Sin Sonique le It Feels So Good – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 2000 Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1973 chuaigh Paul McCartney chuig uimhir a haon I Meiriceá lena albam Red Rose Speedway agus fuair sé uimhir a haon lena hamhrán My Love agus d'fhan sé ann ar feadh ceithre seachtaine. I 1984 fuair Wham! A chéad uimhir a haon sa Bhreatain lena amhrán Wake Me Up Before You Go Go. Scríobh George Michael an t-amhrán agus bhí sé páirteach den bhanna cheoil. An inspioráid don amhrán ná nuair a scríobh Andrew Ridgeley nóta dá thuismitheoirí ag rá 'wake me up before you go' agus scríobh sé 'up' dhá uair agus mar sin scríobh sé an teideal 'wake me up before you go go'. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Wentworth Miller sa Bhreatain I 1972 agus rugadh aisteoir Ethan Slater I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 1992 agus seo chuid de na rudaí a rinne sé. Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 2nd of June, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1978: health minister Charles Haughey had launched a unique scheme to help young people in cities who may have been at risk of becoming delinquents. 2000: the norths power sharing ministers were under attack last night from extremists on both sides. 1998 - FIFTEEN cattle on a farm in Toomevara were killed in a severe thunder and lightning storm which struck North Tipperary. The cattle were sheltering in a hill field under a sycamore tree from a heavy downpour of rain when the "act of God" occurred.  2006 -Nenagh's ranking in the national IBAL league made a dramatic improvement, rising from the categorization of ‘Litter Blackspot' to ‘Litter Free Status'. rising from 51st place out of 57 towns to 13th in the latest survey.  That was Sonique with It Feels So Good – the biggest song on this day in 2000 Onto music news on this day In 1973 Paul McCartney had both the No.1 positions on the US charts when 'Red Rose Speedway', went to the top of the album chart and 'My Love', started a four week run as the No.1 single. 1984 Wham! had their first UK No.1 with 'Wake Me Up Before You Go Go.' Written and produced by George Michael, one half of the duo. Inspiration for the song was a scribbled note left by his Wham! partner Andrew Ridgeley for Andrew's parents, originally intended to read "wake me up before you go" but with "up" accidentally written twice, so Ridgeley wrote "go" twice on purpose. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – actor Wentworth Miller was born in the UK in 1972 and actor Ethan Slater was born in America on this day in 1992 and this is some of the stuff he has done. I'll be back with you tomorrow with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.

One of the worlds greatest George Michael tribute acts is on his way to Wellington and while Wellington Mornings' music man James Irwin is a fan of tribute acts, Nick certainly isn't. Are tribute acts good or a gimmick? James also takes a look at the albums turning 25 this year, and upcoming gigs in the capital. LISTEN ABOVESee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

**Colin Peters presents… 15 FAVES** This mix features 15 tracks that are some of my all-time favourites, personal memories that come together to form a beautiful whole. **Laid Back – White Horse** It's electro, synthpop and post-punk rolled into one, what's not to like :) **Lenny Kravitz – Let It Ride (Jamie Jones remix)** ‘White Horse' and ‘Let It Ride', get it? Got to see Lenny Kravitz live in April 2025, and I love his homage to New York's 80s underground, expertly remixed by Jamie Jones. **Tiefschwarz – Kinda New (Tiefschwarz Dub)** The biggest track of Ibiza 2004 dominated the speakers of the White Island, especially at We Love Sundays at Space. **Moontalk - Virtual Friends** Love the whole Tiga 00s vibe on this 2024 track, leading us nicely into… **Seelenluft - Manila (Ewan Pearson remix)** **Golden Boy with Miss Kittin - Rippin Kittin (Tobi Neumann remix)** These two tracks will always remind me of my sets at Manumission and Carry On, with the electroclash and synthpop revival fitting perfectly with my sound at the time. **Information Society – Running (Oscar Independance edit)** Freestyle at its finest, this track really has stood the test of time. It's also one of the first remixes by one of my all-time favourite DJs and producers, Louie Vega. **When In Rome – The Promise ** This track, along with Desireless - ‘Voyage Voyage', are tracks I adored back in the 80s but then disappeared before coming back in a dazzling moment of rediscovery. ‘Voyage Voyage' in a taxi in 2001 in London and ‘The Promise' in 2004 as part of the Napoleon Dynamite soundtrack. Poetry in motion. **Company B – Fascinated ** More 80s freestyle sauce by Company B. The Melody is strong with this one. **Mel & Kim – Showing Out (Serge Santiago edit & Extended Version)** This one always reminds me of my older brother and his 80s Hi-Fi system. Whenever he went out, he always said: “Don't you dare touch my vinyl; I'll know if you have.” I always gave it a good 15 minutes before getting my grubby hands on the record player. My faves were Five Star, Whitney Houston and this absolute banger by Mel & Kim, produced and remixed by the much-maligned Stock, Aitken & Waterman. **The Aikiu – The Red Kiss (The Magician Precious 80's Dub)** The Magician captures the magic of the 80s on this dub **Nami Shimada – Sunshower (Vox)** Originally released in 1989, Nami Shimada's ‘Sunshower' is a peculiar deep house anthem that has stuck in my head over all these years. The best mix is the Vox version from 2004, still sounding fat after 21 years later with its warm blend of house and electro. **Wham! – Everything She Wants (SMQ edit)** My No.1 Wham track, beautifully edited by Sleazy McQueen. I celebrated my 40th birthday by recreating Wham! 's ‘Club Tropicana' video at Pikes (I was George Michael, of course). **Steve Winwood - Valerie Eric Clapton – Behind The Mask** Ending 15 Faves, we have two 60s rock gods who embraced synthpop on 2 of their signature tracks. Stevie Windwood's glorious ‘Valerie' and Eric Clapton's masterly cover of Yellow Magic Orchestra's ‘Behind The Mask'. These two were massive on my Yellow Sports Walkman in 1985.

Vi nærmer os langsomt en sommerferie, og hvad er så mere nærliggende end at tage fat i en rigtig sommerudgave af et klassisk MIX-blad. Vi er denne gang tilbage i 1996 med julinummeret og det er med Michael Jacksons 3 nydelige nevøer i 3T på forsiden. De hittede stort i midthalvfemserne og havde flere store hits, men de fik også masser af produktions- og sangskrivningshjælp fra både deres kendte onkel og selveste Max Martin og Denniz Pop. Vi skal desuden vurdere om Gary Barlow solo er lige så godt som Elton John, vi spiller glimrende numre fra den medfølgende MIX-CD med både Fugees og No Doubt, vi prøver at vinde billetter til 1996-udgaven af Midtfyns Fetival og til Oasis' legendariske koncert ved Knebworth, og så tager vi selvfølgelig også fat i RåMIX, CementMIX og i MIXbix søger vi en penneven til 11-årige Fruit Power fra Skodsborg og efterlyser russiske Fechter fra Vejlby-Risskov. Derudover ifører vi os sommer og Birkenstock og spiser morgenmad med amerikanske Deep Blue Something, vi revurderer Brian Austin Greens rapevner, vi sympatiserer med Damon Albarn, vi bliver forbløffede over alderen på de 2 spanske herrer i Los Del Rio, og så bliver det også til snakke om ferier på Kreta, voldsomt store mobiltelefoner, 90'er is, fankultur hos Bruun Rasmussen og frimærkepriser i Kibæk.

If you love figure-skating, you'll almost certainly follow Ryan Dunk on social media. The US collegiate and junior champion has amassed more than half-a-million followers on social media – where his jaw-dropping routines to the likes of ABBA, George Michael and Queen regularly go viral. To say Ryan has a passion for figure-skating would be a massive understatement – and as a proud member of the LGBTQ+ community, he's a vocal advocate for using his voice to help others who may be struggling with their own sexuality. But his own journey with his sexuality has been one that has brought its share of difficulties to Ryan's life – but now, skating is his way of spreading a world of joy, tolerance and acceptance around the world. We have a cracking conversation with Ryan – about his journey in sport, about his love of skating, about representing Team USA, about his coming out journey, inspiring others, being shared by the likes of Lady GaGa and so, so much more.

KiddChris and Sara discuss David Spade joining the show to talk about his show this weekend at the Taft Theater. KiddChris expresses his preference for going to events alone and admits he is not much of a talker when the microphones are off, contrary to his on-air persona.Sara has a story about a “professional” that provides dating advice from a coach, highlighting text messages to avoid, such as "When can I see you?", "Want to come over tonight?", and "Do you like me?".KiddChris goofs on a new Tiki Bar and Grill called "10th Island" opening in OTR. The show shares "on this day in history" facts, including Anderson Cooper's birthday, the BBC banning George Michael's "I Want Your Sex," and David Carradine's death by autoerotic asphyxiation.KiddChris reminisces about his past addiction to a vending machine snack called "Big Texas," a cinnamon roll which he consumed frequently and associated with a sugar crash and significant weight gain.Country Jeff The Drunk Drifter calls in from his hotel, discussing his living situation with prostitutes, some of whom steal from him, and his contentious relationship with KiddChris… Jeff ends up hanging up in anger.

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 2ú lá de mí an Mheithimh, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1978 sheol an Aire Sláinte Charles Haughey scéim ar leith chun cabhrú le daoine óga sna cathracha a raibh riosca orthu damáiste a dhéanamh dá shaol. I 2000 bhí na hairí ón thuaidh faoi ionsaí ó na n-antoisceach ó dhá thaobh. I 1978 tháinig an nuacht amach gur tháinig nach mór 50 míle duine chuid Inis an deireadh seachtain roimhe I gcóir An Fleadh Nua agus chaith siad nach mór 4 milliúin punt. I 1989 bhí meas ar 16 míle duine chun a bheith ag an o briens bridge village agus aonach contae a raibh ar siúil gach bliain. Sin Sonique le It Feels So Good – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 2000 Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1973 chuaigh Paul McCartney chuig uimhir a haon I Meiriceá lena albam Red Rose Speedway agus fuair sé uimhir a haon lena hamhrán My Love agus d'fhan sé ann ar feadh ceithre seachtaine. I 1984 fuair Wham! A chéad uimhir a haon sa Bhreatain lena amhrán Wake Me Up Before You Go Go. Scríobh George Michael an t-amhrán agus bhí sé páirteach den bhanna cheoil. An inspioráid don amhrán ná nuair a scríobh Andrew Ridgeley nóta dá thuismitheoirí ag rá 'wake me up before you go' agus scríobh sé 'up' dhá uair agus mar sin scríobh sé an teideal 'wake me up before you go go'. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Wentworth Miller sa Bhreatain I 1972 agus rugadh aisteoir Ethan Slater I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 1992 agus seo chuid de na rudaí a rinne sé. Beidh mé ar ais libh amárach le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 2nd of June, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1978: health minister Charles Haughey had launched a unique scheme to help young people in cities who may have been at risk of becoming delinquents. 2000: the norths power sharing ministers were under attack last night from extremists on both sides. 1978: close on 50,000 people came to ennis on the previous weekend for Fleadh Nua '78 and spent an estimated £3/4 million. 1989: an estimated 16,000 people were expected to attend an annual o briens bridge village and county fair. That was Sonique with It Feels So Good – the biggest song on this day in 2000 Onto music news on this day In 1973 Paul McCartney had both the No.1 positions on the US charts when 'Red Rose Speedway', went to the top of the album chart and 'My Love', started a four week run as the No.1 single. 1984 Wham! had their first UK No.1 with 'Wake Me Up Before You Go Go.' Written and produced by George Michael, one half of the duo. Inspiration for the song was a scribbled note left by his Wham! partner Andrew Ridgeley for Andrew's parents, originally intended to read "wake me up before you go" but with "up" accidentally written twice, so Ridgeley wrote "go" twice on purpose. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – actor Wentworth Miller was born in the UK in 1972 and actor Ethan Slater was born in America on this day in 1992 and this is some of the stuff he has done. I'll be back with you tomorrow with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.

Clare and Hannah both share a song that rocked their world. Hannah tries to rap (sort of), and Clare tells the story of the 10,000-pound haircut.

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 2ú lá de mí Bealtaine, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1975 d'éalaigh príosúnaigh as a phríosún ach ní raibh aon ádh acu ag Punchestown. I 1997 tháinig an nuacht amach go mbeadh méadú de 1% sna rátaí morgáiste de bharr go raibh méadú sna rátaí sna bainc. I 1975 tháinig Ambasadóir ón Astráil chuig an chontae I gcóir deireadh seachtain agus bhí siad sa tír ar feadh seachtain. I 1986 bhí níos mó daoine ag an Boirinn fiadhúlra siompóisiam an bhliain seo I gcomparáid leis an bhliain roimhe. Sin George Michael le A Different Corner – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1986. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1981 chuaigh Sheena Easton chuig uimhir a haon I Meiriceá lena amhrán Morning Train (9 to 5). Bhí sí ann ar feadh dhá sheachtain agus d'athraigh sí an teideal den amhrán de bharr gur tháinig Dolly Parton amach leis a amhrán 9 to 5 sa bhliain chéanna. I 2006 tháinig Keith Richards ó The Rolling Stones amach as a ospidéal sa Nua-Shéalainn de bharr go bhfuair sé comhtholgadh beag nuair a thit sé amach as crann nuair a bhí sé I Fiji. Chuaigh sé chuig an ospidéal I héileacaptar agus fuair sé scanadh ar a inchinn. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Dwayne Johnson I Meiriceá I 1972 agus rugadh amhránaí Lily Allen sa Bhreatain ar an lá seo I 1985 agus seo chuid de a amhrán. Beidh mé ar ais libh an tseachtain seo chugainn le heagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo. Welcome back to another edition of Ar An Lá Seo on the 2nd of May, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1975: an escaped prisoners luck ran out at punchestown races yesterday. 1997: an increase of one percent in bank and mortgage rates was threatened last night after a shock rise in central bank rates. 1975: The australian ambassador, vincent c gair and mrs gair toured co.clare over the weekend in the course of a week long visit to west and south of ireland. 1986: The third burren wildlife symposium attracted more interest than in other previous years. That was George Michael with A Different Corner – the biggest song on this day in 1986. Onto music news on this day In 1981 Scottish singer Sheena Easton started a two week run at No.1 on the US singles chart with 'Morning Train (9 to 5)'. The title of the song was changed to avoid any confusion with the Dolly Parton hit '9 to 5', in the same year. 2006 Rolling Stones guitarist Keith Richards was released from hospital in New Zealand after the 62 year-old suffered "mild concussion" when he fell out of a coconut tree while on holiday in Fiji. He was airlifted to Auckland's Ascot Hospital for observation, where he underwent a brain scan. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – actor Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson was born in America in 1972 and singer Lily Allen was born in the UK on this day in 1983 and this is one of her songs. I'll be back with you next week with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.

I said that Faith Kipyegon has committed to trying to run under 4 minutes for a mile in June.

David Archuleta rejoins the podcast and we discuss everything from his sexy new music to announcing his upcoming juicy memoir! David details why he left Hollywood, after winning everyone over on American Idol, to pursue a Mormon mission. David explains why he left the Mormon Church and talks about his friendships with fellow famous ex-mormons Heather Gay of Real Housewives of Salt Lake City, Tyler Glenn of Neon Trees, and Dan Reynolds of Imagine Dragons. David also chats about his recent Queerties nomination, covering George Michael, and announces his new book.

David and Brad dissect Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin spectacle featuring an all-female crew of “astronauts” in form-fitting space suits and Katie Perry kissing the ground after an 11-minute joyride in an undeniably phallic spacecraft. Then comes the irony of New York Attorney General Letitia James—who pursued Trump on property valuation charges—now facing similar accusations of falsifying loan applications and listing her father as her husband. The episode wraps with the cautionary tale of Minot, North Dakota's mayor, whose personal 'rocket launch' video accidentally landed in his city attorney's inbox—proving once again that incompetence knows no political boundary. All this plus squirrel beheadings, Disney cruises, and George Michael appreciation.

Strap in—this week, Inappropriate with Jim & Steve gets downright wild. From the infamous George Michael bathroom incident to the man with the world's largest penis, nothing is off-limits.The guys also explore the story of a woman born with two vaginas (yes, it's real), and Jim attempts the impossible: convincing Steve to attend Country Calling Fest.And just when you think it can't get any stranger... what the hell are Porta Potty Parties?It's weird, it's hilarious, it's wildly inappropriate—tune in and regret nothing.

George Michael and Andew Ridgely, aka British duo Wham!, became the first Western group to play a gig in Communist China on 7th April, 1985. The event, staged at the People's Gymnasium in Beijing, was primarily a strategic move aimed at breaking the band in the United States; the brainchild of the band's managers, Gordon Jazz Summer and Simon Napier Bell, who embarked on a series of hotel lunches with Chinese officials, gradually unveiling the proposal for Wham!'s performance. The logistical challenges were immense - requiring a jumbo jet solely dedicated to transporting equipment for the concert, and securing funding for an accompanying film from CBS. In this episode, The Retrospectors consider how the atmosphere was tempered by police presence and cultural sensitivities; reveal just why it was that the audience knew all the songs, even though they'd never heard of the band when they'd purchased their tickets; and discover how NOT to get a clap-along going during ‘Club Tropicana'...

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 23ú lá de mí Aibreán, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1966 bhí a cheardchumann cónaidhme de fhostóirí agus eagraíochtaí eile chun ceist a chuir ar an Taoiseach an mbeadh na treoir oibrithe ceadaithe den chomhréiteach den phá.

Show Notes: Exploring the Music Industry and Fandom Introduction Personal Reflection: I'm still grappling with the news of Liam Payne's passing on October 16th, 2024. As a son, brother, father, and renowned singer, his impact on those who loved him is undeniable. I'm Nola Simon, host of the Hope and Possibilities podcast, and I'm already getting emotional as I reflect on his life and career. Personal Connection: I grew up loving George Michael and Wham!, and when George Michael passed away on Christmas in 2016, my daughter broke the news to me, and I couldn't help but cry. I hadn't experienced that level of grief over a musician's death until Liam's passing, which surprised me since I was only a casual fan of One Direction. Liam Payne and One Direction Career Overview: Liam was not only a talented singer and songwriter but also a member of One Direction and a successful solo artist. I remember watching them on iCarly when they were just starting out, incredibly young. Liam was only 31 when he passed away, and his solo music, particularly "Strip That Down," really caught my attention. Music Impact: I admired Liam's creative choices and potential as a singer. His solo career highlighted his ability to make courageous and innovative decisions in his music. Industry Reflections Artist Treatment: This podcast aims to explore how the music industry treats young artists, focusing on ageism, career longevity, and the narratives that affect artists' lives. It's heartbreaking to see musicians, especially those in boy bands, often discarded and facing early mortality. Fandom Dynamics: I also want to discuss fandoms, including One Direction and other artists like Taylor Swift, and how they interact with the industry and artists. Fandom can be a challenging topic, but it's essential to approach it thoughtfully. Podcast Goals Respectful Dialogue: My goal is to have respectful conversations about artists and their careers, avoiding speculation and negativity. Unfortunately, Liam's family has faced significant media scrutiny, and I want to ensure that we honor their dignity. Learning from History: I aim to learn from past experiences to create a better future for artists and fans, focusing on responsible fandom and industry practices. Engagement Guidelines Commentary Protocol: I encourage comments via podcast app feedback, and I'll promote episodes on LinkedIn and Substack to maintain a respectful dialogue. I'm avoiding platforms like Instagram and TikTok to prevent the conversation from going viral and to keep it thoughtful. Future Episodes Exploring Fandoms: In upcoming episodes, I may discuss various fandoms and their interactions with artists, aiming to foster a thoughtful discussion about the music industry's future. I've spent considerable time researching One Direction and its members since Liam's passing, and I feel well-prepared to delve into these topics. Answer from Perplexity: pplx.ai/share

Set-Jetter Saturdays is back! On this show: Whatcha Been Watching?, Robert goes to Planet Comicon Kansas City, infamous George Michael bathroom demolished, 40th anniversary of Friday the 13th: A New Beginning, and more!

Matthew Modine "is one of the best, most adaptable film actors of his generation," says The New York Times. Modine's iconic portrayals in films such as Alan Parker's BIRDY, Louden Swain in VISION QUEST, Stanley Kubrick's FULL METAL JACKET, and Dr. Martin “Papa” Brenner in Netflix's global phenomenon STRANGER THINGS have cemented his legacy in the entertainment industry. Modine recently starred in the Netflix political thriller series "Zero Day," where he plays the Speaker of the House. If you watch this Cybercrime Magazine video interview with Modine, then you might also call him an expert on the good, the bad, and the ugly that artificial intelligence (AI) brings to society. Our host Sam White dives deep into AI, the Internet, cybercrime, privacy, surveillance, and a whole lot more with Modine. Modine draws parallels between George Orwell's “1984”, the famous dystopian novel and cautionary tale, and what we are living through now in the age of AI. Despite his concerns around AI, Modine touts the benefits of it, namely its potential for sharing medical information during epidemics, helping to feed starving people around the globe, and more. If AI could play a role in taking down the U.S. power grid, then Modine helps us imagine what that might be like. Modine gets personal with Cybercrime Magazine and shares his love for New York City, his experience working with Robert De Niro, and a deepfake song involving George Michael and Wham! This interview may be Modine like you've never seen him before. Visit the Official Matthew Modine Website at https://matthewmodine.com.

Seven arrests in twelve years and more than a couple sleepless nights inside a London prison. This reads like the description of a stereotypical Sunset Strip metalhead, not that of pop prince George Michael. George's criminal transgressions include a bust for a “lewd act” in a public place, a crack addiction, numerous car crashes. George Michael was on a collision course with an early death, but he died of a broken heart. Along the way he made great music. Here's his story. Which early MTV icon is your favorite? Why?

Young guy writes a Substack piece about his favorite author, Cormac McCarthy. It gets a few reads, and turns out that one of those readers knows old Cormac and actually reads him the piece. In fact, she's known and loved old Cormac for 40+ years. She corresponds with the young guy and eventually decides he's the right person to tell her story, which is a love story that began almost half a century ago, when she was a homeless 16 year-old girl who randomly met a not yet famous author in his 40s sitting by the pool at a run-down motel in New Mexico. Crazy, wild love story/lifelong friendship commences. Young guy writes this forbidden love story, publishes it in Vanity Fair in prissy, easily offended 2024, and all hell breaks loose.Vincenzo's Substack is here.
