Hey y'all, today I'm reviewing George Michael's “Faith” album. Let's see if George's first solo album is a Bop or a flop!

In the Haute Seat, our unforgettable conversation with Katie Ginella delivers everything Bravo fans could ask for: shocking Housewives revelations, celebrity encounters, fashion critiques, and some of the funniest moments we've had in the studio. We kick things off diving into Katie's obsession with RuPaul and the impact that RuPaul's Drag Race has had on generations of people who simply wanted to feel accepted. We swap stories about attending the very first RuPaul's Drag Race premiere party, where RuPaul himself was hilariously denied entry because he wasn't in drag and had forgotten his ID. From Lady Bunny to backstage moments at Drag Race, Katie gushes over the icon who changed the world for millions. Naturally, the conversation spirals into pop culture, with Madonna's legendary habit of showing up hours late to concerts, George Michael becoming Katie's nine-year-old son's newest obsession, and Katie sharing details about her new podcast, Bravo's Most Wanted, which she launched after initially developing a different show with Monica Garcia from Salt Lake City before teaming up with Jamie Rice. We also reveal that years before Modern Family, Bravo passed on our own pilot, Designer Family, because executives didn't believe audiences were ready to watch two gay men raising a teenage daughter in Beverly Hills. Looking back now, it feels unbelievable. Katie gets candid about how reality television affected her children, revealing that her daughter received death threats after being targeted online and that filming RHOC took an emotional toll on the entire family. We also get the inside scoop on Kylie auditioning for Love Island and whether Katie's kids would ever join a “Next Gen OC.” Then comes one of the biggest bombshells of the episode: we reveal that we were among the very first people to witness the beginnings of Scandoval while filming Scheana Shay's wedding in Cancun. We recount seeing Tom Schwartz kiss Raquel Leviss on camera before later spotting Tom Sandoval kissing her off camera—long before the scandal exploded across the Bravo universe. Katie is left absolutely stunned by the story. The Housewives tea continues as Katie opens up about her biggest regrets from Orange County, admitting that she wishes she had stood up for herself more instead of trying to keep the peace. She addresses misconceptions that she is a liar, talks about the difference between “show friends” and “real friends,” and explains why she believes much of modern reality television has become performative. The mood shifts when SnowWhite90210 finally returns from the groomer and instantly steals the spotlight. Between puppy talk, frozen dog sperm, and plans for Mochi's future puppies, things take a hilariously unexpected turn. Katie also opens up about one of the most emotional chapters of her life: being adopted from Korea as a baby. She shares her complicated feelings about eventually meeting her birth mother, revealing that she simply wants to thank the woman who gave her a chance at the life she has today. We discuss identity, belonging, and the deep love Katie found with her husband Matt after surviving an allegedly abusive first marriage. As we head into Runway Rundown, Katie weighs in on the latest RHOC cast photos, revealing her favorite looks from Shannon Beador, Tamra Judge, and Vicki Gunvalson while hilariously critiquing the gowns worn by Emily Simpson, Gina Kirschenheiter, Jen Pedranti, and newcomer Carmella GarciaPol' gives his expert couture opinions, breaking down why quality and custom tailoring matter at every age. Throughout the episode, Katie remains refreshingly honest about the realities of Housewives fame, the friendships she misses, the betrayals she still struggles with, and whether she would ever return to RHOC. Between RuPaul, Madonna, Ariana Madix, Scheana Shay, Tom Sandoval, Raquel Leviss, Sutton Stracke, Vicki Gunvalson, and SnowWhite90210, the Haute Seat is packed with unforgettable moments and enough Bravo tea to keep fans talking until her Armenian coffee reading.

Sommeren buldrer derudaf, og vi har jo for en gang skyld gang i en MEGET varm juli måned, hvor vi virkelig får slappet af i vores sommerferie. Men traditionen tro, har vi taget en køretur ud i det danske sommerland for at lave endnu en Sommer Special, som samtidig er vores Afsnit 250. Ja, den er god nok! Hvem skulle nogensinde have troet det, da vi startede i det stille under coronapandemien tilbage i januar 2021. I denne uges udsendelse sender vi fra den sjællandske vestkyst, nærmere betegnet Kelstrup Strand, og her kan vi, udover en masse sommerhygge, byde på masser af nye brandvarme sommerlige numre fra gode navne som, Kayak, Katinka, Zar Paulo, Rosalía og Barselona, og dejlige sommerklassikere fra Olivia Newton-John & John Travolta, Take That, Ray Dee Ohh, SWV, Taylor Swift og Birthe Kjær. Derudover står den på Tom Collins drinks, anekdoter fra årets Roskilde Festival, en dampende hed koncert med Robyn, en rørende diskussion om den seksplettede køllesværmer, et svensk cowboyland, et Cliff Burton museum ved en tankstation, en ung tulipanplukkende hollænder der bliver tvunget til at se Grease tre dage i træk, og så kommer vi da desuden også lige forbi fans af Kåre Quist (Quisties), den dyre champagne Pierre Paillard, blå brandmænd, frosne ærter, Gary Barlow i badevinger, dobbeltløbere og så overvejer vi, at lancere vores helt egen musikfestival på Fort Boyard med både tigre og ”Pas På Tur”. Rigtig god sommer til jer alle. Vi lyttes ved igen til august. Playliste: The Lovin' Spoonful - Summer in the city Kayak - Ind i solen Gorillaz feat.

He's the perfect co-captain to match our dark and twisted-ness, starting with a shared love of David Lynch. After a brief interruption of a staff member (male) in short shorts, Dave recounts his trippy days totaling in approx. 400 hits. Kids these days will never understand. Christina introduces Dave to some Cool Guys and Gals including, but not limited to, a CPAP monster, a pirate, and a guy that looks eerily similar to Robin Williams in Toys. Wrapping up the episode with Christina's TikTok Curations, Dave and Christina take a few detours into closeted celebrities (shout out George Michael) and hidden toilet cams.

We've covered a lot of PRETENDers on this show. But the guy in this one might take the prize. Carlos Henrique Raposo, better known as Kaiser, fooled the entire professional soccer world in Brazil for 26 years. He signed with more than 30 clubs. He partied with George Michael. He got protected by Rio's most dangerous crime boss. He once punched a fan in the face rather than actually step on the field. And through all of it, he barely played a single real game. This week we're revisiting one of our favorite conversations: an interview with Louis Myles, director of the 2015 documentary "Kaiser! The Greatest Footballer Never to Play Football." Myles and his team spent 18 months in Rio chasing down the truth, or something close to it, behind Brazil's greatest football legend who never actually played football. Watch the documentary: "Kaiser! The Greatest Footballer Never to Play Football" (2015) is streaming on Amazon Prime. Also from Louis Myles: "Mighty Penguins," following the Brentford Penguins, a football team made up of players with Down syndrome, as they prepare to serve as guard of honour at a Premier League match. It premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2023 and is currently on the festival circuit. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

This week in the Screening Room we’re talking about a bad marriage, an affair, an old college friend with a collection of strange home movies, and the 1989 film ‘Sex, Lies and Videotape.’ Plus the mighty Hypothetical Theoretical Metaphorical Potentially Possible Mixtape with songs by The Knickerbockers, George Michael, Radiohead, and more.

Randy is caught off guard by a post boner... we have to give a trigger warning to any spastic giraffes... Then there's a fair bit of chat about George Michael, Kiss, dead flies, Anderson .Paak, Kerry Ellis, and Otto Virtanen. Oh my...In the midst of all this, we manage to find our way to the last song on Side A of Queen's magnificent 1974 album, Sheer Heart Attack as we discuss a Brian May rocker titled "Now I'm Here". You may have heard of it!If Kev were to title this episode, I'd probably call it “Now I'm Here”, or possibly, “Now I'm There”.NOTE: Skip forward to 30:16 if wanna get straight into the manifestations and wheel spin.The music at the end of the episode is the seismically heavy "Subletter" from the Randy Woods Band debut album. It's another one of Kev's favourite Randy tunes. You can and should go find it out here: https://youtu.be/GQhWu2bBL0UIf you want to get involved in the Kofi Klub, head over to our Ko-Fi page (linked below) and let us know which song you want us to add to the wheel!

Neoborn Caveman returns with reflections from The Book of Joy on joy requiring vulnerability and the gap between empty optimism and honest hope, then takes direct aim at the weakness of regimes that attack women or children, citing Iran's sentencing of singer Parastu Ahmadi to 74 lashes. He calls out the stupidity of blanket generalizations, including a Florida tattoo shop refusing all military and veterans while branding them war criminals, highlights George Michael's secret giving of millions without fanfare as real activism, and contrasts constant digital and industrial noise eroding our ability to heal with the need for real connection and actually focusing on joy — while noting, with typical NC bite, that his show is at least cheaper than the government if you're only getting nothing anyway.Music guests: pMad, Inoxidables, Van HechterKey TakeawaysJoy is the only core positive emotion and requires vulnerability.Oppressors who attack women or children reveal their own weakness.Blanket generalizations against entire groups like the military are stupid and performative.True good is done quietly without seeking attention or credit.Constant digital and industrial noise damages our capacity to heal ourselves.Real in-person connection and silence beat social media and noise.Suffering can lead to growth and deeper joy.We deserve joy and are not selfish for claiming it.Sound Bites"For joy, by the way, we have to be vulnerable. Being vulnerable in this world is suicide.""They attack women or children. ... all oppressors are weak who attack women, children or any innocent.""If you are saying that women can't have freedom, then you don't belong to humanity.""Go to a hall and ask some help to pull your head out of your ass.""He secretly gave away millions and millions and millions throughout his career and even after his death.""This is the good activism. ... you act and you shut the front door.""The noise is killing us. Literally it's murdering our brain and it destroys our capacity to heal our own cells.""Even the bad things can lead to good things. Suffering can lead to good things.""You are amazing. You are special, you are one of a kind, you are unique, and you deserve to be happy, joyful."Support the show and join the free tea house conversation at patreon.com/theneoborncavemanshow.Humanity centered satirical takes on the world & news + music - with a marble mouthed host.

When reading up about pro wrestlers and their lifestyle choices, you might come across the phrase "personal demons." It's a euphemism for drug and alcohol problems, which sadly are a common occurrence when you look at wrestling and its history of premature deaths. On this episode, Andrew and returning guest Cola the Lodger exorcise some personal demons by playing songs about drugs and alcohol, whether they're positive, neutral, or negative about the substances. Artists played include Primus, Hank Williams III, The Pharcyde, KRS-One, George Michael, Nathaniel Rateliff & the Night Sweats, Kyuss, Melle Mel, and many more. This episode is definitely not passing a drug test.Theme song: "Hemispheres" by Silent PartnerBluesky: @MusicoftheMat / @justandrewAll VOW podcasts, articles, previews, and reviews: VoicesofWrestling.comJoin the VOW Discord to discuss Music of the Mat and other shows/topics: VoicesofWrestling.com/DiscordDonate to Music of the Mat and other VOW podcasts: VoicesofWrestling.com/DonateAdvertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

And we have a lot to catch up on.This week: Olivia Rodrigo just announced Daisy Chain Fields — an all-female festival with Bikini Kill, Stevie Nicks, Mitski, Chappell Roan, Karen O, and more — and we get into why it matters, what Lilith Fair got right and wrong, and why the 90s community ethos feels more radical than ever in 2026.Also: it's the 40th anniversary of Wham! breaking up, and Ione has a memory involving a gay music promoter on her childhood street, early vinyl promos, and George Michael not yet being out. Plus: why Hal Hartley is the most underrated director of the American indie film era, the troll who called Ben a "soy boy," and Ione's lifelong crush on a boy who wrestled a crocodile.

From the terrace of Henbury Golf Club, his "clearing" of 38 years, John traces a full and generous life: a strict, loving mother who called her children "the jewels in her crown of life"; a working life that ran from PE teacher to trusted financial adviser across 42 years; and the firm he built and has since passed to his sons, Dave and Andrew.He pays a moving tribute to his brother Bobby, who lived with Down's syndrome and, in John's words, was "a totally fulfilled human being."

Vous vous souvenez peut-être du clip "Freedom" de George Michael sorti en 1990, clip qui réunissait les supermodels, de Naomi Campbell à Cindy Crawford. Des supermodels mises en avant aussi sur les podiums de Gianni Versace. Le couturier italien des années 1980 et 1990 a fait de la mode un spectacle et ce spectacle est exposé au musée Maillol cet été : c'est la première grande rétrospective consacrée à Gianni Versace à Paris.

June is PRIDE month so Dan throws down a PRIDE related ride. It's only songs with 'pride' in the title, lyrics and/or as artist, and a surprisingly good mix comes out of it all. Included: The Bicycles; The Black Crows (shhhhhhh.......it); Bamboo; Robert Palmer; Tessa Belifante; George Michael; Etta James; Charley Pride; The Ramones; The Answer; Burton Cummings; The Goo Goo Dolls with Elmo

George Michael managed to be both enigmatic and to share some of the most personal details about his life but superfan Sathnam Sanghera has looked a little closer to really appreciate the artistry and importance of one of pop's most enduring voices. We spoke with him about being a control freak, a defining era for music and why that voice is still so special to listen to.

This week we discuss the classic song Careless Whisper by George Michael.

On what would have been her 100th birthday, we look at the enduring popularity of Marilyn Monroe, with film journalist and fan Kim Morgan and reviewer Angie Errigo Sathnam Sanghera talks about the meaning of George Michael.Jazz legend and saxophonist Courtney Pine talks about his career, forty years after his seminal debut album Journey to the Urge Within.And poet Joelle Taylor, author of Maryville and TS Eliot Prize-winning collection C+nto & Othered Poems, pays tribute to writer and activist Maureen Duffy - one of the first publicly "out" lesbian women, who has died aged 92.Presenter: Samira Ahmed

Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. George Michael used sheer force of will to make himself a pop star, then tore it all down to re-make himself anew as he kicked off his solo career. Tom, Allan, Marty, and Rob get together to discuss sexy songs with religious overtones, the power of the MTV music video, amd (what else?) hot bass.Join the comment thread NOW available on our free Patreon to continue the conversation about this episode and get early access to the weekly show 100% ad free, plus 60+ bonus shows like Song Battle and Guilty Pleasureshttps://www.patreon.com/1001AlbumComplaintsJoin our Mailing List here: https://linktr.ee/1001albumcomplaintsEmail us your complaints (or questions / comments) at 1001AlbumComplaints@gmail.comListen to our episode companion playlist (compilation of the songs we referenced on this episode) here:https://open.spotify.com/playlist/6n11Fib3YOwK8FKuf1srMJ?si=40265b08742e4c02Listen to Faith here:https://open.spotify.com/album/34K1Kvskt9arWy8E1Gz3Lw?si=UpPIzpnnRpOqPgD9PZW-AAAnd our international playlists continue to grow:Thai, German, Sweden 1, 2, & 3, Italian, Australian, Belgium 1 & 2Intro music: When the Walls Fell by The Beverly CrushersOutro music: After the Afterlife by MEGAFollow our Spotify Playlist of music produced directly by us.

Pressures of migrant parents, the shackles of family expectation, and the urge to reinvent yourself in 90s Britain - all themes that connect writer Sathnam Sanghera with George Michael. Growing up in Wolverhampton as the son of Sikh immigrants, Sanghera was a teenage Wham obsessive, later finding unexpected parallels with the pop star's life, and his own.This podcast was brought to you thanks to the support of readers of The Times and The Sunday Times.

Music critic Barry Walters joins co-hosts Whitney Terrell and Christian Barter to discuss his new book, Mighty Real: A History of LGBTQ Music 1969-2000. Walters talks about how he chose the artists that he includes in his book and explains how musicians like David Bowie, Lou Reed, Grace Jones, and Sylvester saved his life. He explores how social repression shaped and complicated work from LGBTQ bands, how queer acts like Queen were pigeonholed by music critics, and how mainstream groups like Nirvana spoke to the LGBTQ experience.

Dennis is joined by renowned British photographer Brian Aris to discuss his new book Celebrating George: Three Decades which showcases the many photographs Brian took of George Michael throughout his career. Brian talks about the first time he shot George, as part of Wham, at the end of a day that included earlier shoots with Billy Joel and Mick Jagger. He also talks about why George was one of his favorite subjects to shoot, the love he feels from the "George Michael Lovelies" who attend his book events and the intentionality that George brought to all his photo sessions. Other topics include: shooting the group photo at Band Aid, how Debbie Harry changed the trajectory of his career, where he likes to stand when he's shooting concert shots, the American rocker who defaced his favorite backdrop and his earliest memories of photography.

“I'll be your father figure.” This week, we're diving deep into one of Taylor Swift's most underrated literary tools: alliteration. From the phonetic cadence of a teenage Taylor on Debut to the silky-smooth flow of reputation's Call It What You Want, to the hard-hitting, power-packed punch of Father Figure from The Life of a Showgirl, we trace how Taylor uses the repetition of consonant sounds to create rhythm, evoke emotion, and tell a story. Whether she's channeling JFK-level emphasis or crafting an earworm you can hit the notes on without music, alliteration is a tool Taylor reaches for selectively and with purpose. Join Maansi, Jennifer, and Jodi as they break down soft sounds, staccato slams, and everything in between.   Subscribe for free to get episode updates or upgrade to paid to get our After School premium content: aptaylorswift.substack.com/subscribe.

Miss Heard celebrates Season 7, Episode 350 where we dive into the story behind “Careless Whisper”, the timeless hit that transformed George Michael from pop heartthrob to solo superstar. From writing the song at just 17 years old on a bus ride to obsessing over the now-iconic saxophone riff, we explore the perfectionism, heartbreak, and creative instincts that turned the track into one of the best-selling singles of all time. We also revisit the glamorous yet chaotic Miami music video shoot, the song's chart domination across the globe, and the lasting cultural legacy of a ballad that still seduces listeners four decades later. #missheardsonglyrics #missheardlyrics #misheardsonglyrics #GeorgeMichael #CarelessWhisper https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=izGwDsrQ1eQ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Careless_Whisper https://www.legacy.com/us/obituaries/herald/name/madeline-hodge-obituary?id=13066328 https://www.songfacts.com/facts/wham/careless-whisper

Berly and LA are sipping a tweaked Nerdy Tavern's Dean's Pink Satin Panties cocktail (more cranberry juice, highly recommended) while covering an episode that is, fittingly, very pink. Someone is getting misted out there in Idaho, and it's not rain.Cas has reinvented himself with a gas station job, a name tag, and what he thinks is a date. Dean has a case and absolutely no interest in 24 volumes of ancient languages research. Back at the bunker, Crowley has one phone call and a secret hobby that Sam really wasn't supposed to see. And roaming the streets of Rexford is an angel with a cross earring, good intentions, and a catastrophically loose definition of "mercy."Berly also drops a surprisingly deep lore dive on the biblical Ephraim, son of Joseph (yes, the coat, the brothers, the Egypt), and traces exactly how a figure built around healing and humility ends up here, pink-misting a teenager outside a school bus.It's a quieter episode with a lot of moving pieces, and the girls have thoughts on all of it, including Nora's bowling outfit choices and whether Misha Collins has an unusually flexible wrist.

While films had been made to promote music dating back to at least the 1960s, the music video became a fixture of pop culture in the 1980s. Accelerated by the birth of MTV, MuchMusic, and VH1, music videos in the 80s experienced extraordinary growth in both popularity and artistic creativity. The decade would produce countless iconic music videos, giving renowned artists a second shot at relevancy, launching a whole new wave of aesthetically minded pop stars, and providing unlikely artists a shot at ubiquity with wild conceptual videos. So join the Great Pop Culture Debate as we attempt to name the Best 1980s Music Video!Videos discussed: “Take On Me” by A-HA!; “Thriller” by Michael Jackson; “Like a Prayer” by Madonna”; “Sledgehammer” by Peter Gabriel; “Love Shack” by The B-52s; “Addicted to Love” by Robert Palmer; “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” by Cyndi Lauper; “You Can Call Me Al” by Paul Simon; “Money for Nothing” by Dire Straits; “Hungry Like the Wolf” by Duran Duran; “When Doves Cry” by Prince; “Video Killed the Radio Star” by The Buggles; “(You Gotta) Fight for Your Right (To Party)” by Beastie Boys; “Faith” by George Michael; “I Wanna Dance With Somebody” by Whitey Houston; “Total Eclipse of the Heart” by Bonnie TylerJoin host Eric Rezsnyak and panelists Derek Mekita, John Higgins, and Kate Racculia as they discuss and debate 16 of the most iconic music videos that defined 80s airwaves.For the warm-up to this episode, in which we discuss additional 1980s videos that didn't make the bracket, become a Patreon supporter of the podcast today.

We started off with the best of intentions today, honoring an oft-forgotten population while also working in a reference to the George Michael song "I Want Your Sex."  Then, we moved on to my careless whispers about self-image, obesity or the lack thereof, designer babies, and more.

Kelly and Sharon kick things off with their 90's Playlist Picks of the Week before diving into Kelly's frustration over Mariah Carey being left out of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame Class of 2026. Sharon offers some perspective by highlighting other legendary artists who didn't make it in during their early years of eligibility.   They then reflect on music legends like Michael Jackson and Prince, discussing their very different creative styles and what it might be like if they were still making music today. The conversation also includes a look back at icons like Whitney Houston and George Michael and the lasting impact they continue to have. In a lighter moment, the ladies share their thoughts on potato chips, from favourite flavours to Kelly's all-or-nothing approach.   They also preview the upcoming American Music Awards, including this year's nominees, Taylor Swift's potential wins and Queen Latifah hosting the ceremony live from Las Vegas. Plus, Madonna teams up with Sabrina Carpenter as anticipation builds for "Confessions on a Dancefloor: Part II" and Mel C embraces her “Sporty Spice” era with new music on the way.   The episode wraps up with Kelly's Trivia and Sharon's 1999 Rewind. Thanks for listening to 90's NOW!

Taylor Swift just gave us one of her boldest tracks yet, and we're breaking down every layered lyric, shocking moment, and hidden meaning in “Father Figure.” From the jaw-dropping first listen to the deeper themes of power, control, and betrayal, we unpack how this track connects to Taylor's real-life masters battle, her fight for ownership, and the industry dynamics she's been calling out for years.  We dive into the George Michael interpolation, the symbolism behind “brown liquor,” and why this song feels like a cinematic mafia story meets music industry revenge. Plus, we explore Taylor's surprising inspiration from Succession, the dual perspectives between mentor and protégé, and the chilling moment where the power dynamic flips. Who is the “father figure” really about—and when does Taylor take control? In this episode, we cover: The meaning behind the lyric change in the explicit and clean version Taylor's smartest lyrical metaphors and industry commentary The real-life parallels to Scott Borchetta and her masters fight The moment the protégé becomes the power player This is Taylor Swift at her sharpest, boldest, and most unapologetic—and we're unpacking it all.
