From the AOK archive: Broadway star Megan Hilty joins The Art of Kindness with Robert Peterpaul to discuss her incredible career through the lens of kindness.

Ari's destiny as a performer was evident from birth when a nurse heard her humming straight out of the womb. Her musical journey began at age 7 with voice lessons and performing arts camps, leading to her first major role as Glinda in "The Wiz" at age 9. Though she later faced challenges with anxiety and depression during high school, Ari found healing through music, therapy and her family's unwavering support. Now a recent graduate of the University of Southern California - celebrating alongside her mother, who completed her nursing degree the same week - Ari made a name for herself as a regular performer of the National Anthem at university basketball games. She continues to channel her experiences into songwriting, creating music that connects with others.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Happy Potter Folge hat er sich dazu herabgelassen, auch mal wieder in Hogwarts vorbeizuschauen.Wir debattieren über die logistischen Feinheiten des Tarnumhangs und der Fortbewegung darunter - laufen die Hieroglyphen-Style oder packt sich Ron die beiden anderen unter die Arme wie 2 Baguettes? Und wo zur Hölle war Fang, während Hagrid auf Abenteuerreisen war? Hat Snape auf ihn aufgepasst? Und wenn Snape und Fang in Wicked gehen - wer ist Elphaba und wer ist Glinda? (Reminder an mich selbst - Presse Foto mit Finger).Frage an Hank Green oder John Green - Wie viele Nachnamen muss man haben, dass die Aussprache einer durchschnittlichen Lebensdauer entspricht? Die 2 hören bestimmt beide leidenschaftlich Happy Potter. Und Olaf hätte ruhig mal was bzgl. Dönerpreisen machen können. Was passiert noch?

“Eternal Sunshine,” Ariana Grande's seventh studio album, released on March 8, 2024, via Republic Records, marks a triumphant return for the pop icon after a three-year hiatus following 2020's “Positions.” This 13-track, 35-minute project, titled after the 2004 film “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,” is a loosely conceptual exploration of love, loss, and self-discovery, blending vulnerability with theatrical flair. Crafted with collaborators like Max Martin, Ilya Salmanzadeh, and Oscar Görres, the album fuses pop and R&B with dance, synth-pop, and house influences, characterized by mid-tempo beats, subtle guitar riffs, and lush string arrangements. Grande has called it her most personal work, inspired by her divorce from Dalton Gomez and her romance with “Wicked” co-star Ethan Slater, yet it sidesteps tabloid fodder for a broader emotional narrative.The album opens with “Intro (End of the World),” a delicate query about love's endurance, setting a reflective tone. Lead single “Yes, And?”—a #1 Billboard Hot 100 hit—channels Madonna's “Vogue” with defiant house beats, addressing public scrutiny with a cheeky shrug. “We Can't Be Friends (Wait for Your Love),” another chart-topper, pairs a Robyn-esque dance-pop pulse with Grande's aching vocals, its video nodding to the film's memory-erasing premise. “The Boy Is Mine,” reimagining Brandy and Monica's classic, became a TikTok sensation, later earning a remix with the duo. Tracks like “Don't Wanna Break Up Again” and “True Story” weave R&B melancholy with sly humor, while “Supernatural” and “Imperfect for You” showcase her vocal restraint and harmonic finesse. The interlude “Saturn Returns,” sampling astrologer Diana Garland, ties the album to Grande's late-20s reckoning, fading into the title track's wistful acceptance of past pain.Critics praised “Eternal Sunshine” for its emotional depth and sonic cohesion, with Pitchfork noting its “restrained yet generous” spirit and Rolling Stone calling it a “victory lap with scars.” It debuted at #1 on the Billboard 200, her sixth chart-topper, and snagged three Grammy nods, including Best Pop Vocal Album. Expanded editions followed: a “Slightly Deluxe” version on March 10, 2024, added remixes, while “Eternal Sunshine Deluxe: Brighter Days Ahead,” released March 28, 2025, with a short film, introduced six new tracks like “Twilight Zone,” deepening the breakup saga. Filmed during the 2023 SAG strike, the album reflects Grande's “Wicked” downtime, balancing her Glinda role with raw artistry. Closing with “Ordinary Things,” featuring her grandmother Nonna's sage advice, it's a tender cap to a journey of heartbreak and hope.

Check out our new book "She Prays Like a Girl" at PrayingChristianWomen.com/likeagirl today! We love gleaning prayer lessons from anywhere - including secular movies! This week join us for a really fun discussion about prayer lessons from the song “Defying Gravity” from the Broadway musical-turned-movie “Wicked.” We talk about the transformation of the character Elphaba, who chooses to defy the limitations imposed on her by others, and relate it to the prayer lives of Christian women. We also contrast Glinda and Elphaba, who ultimately take different paths but wish each other well and relate it to the need for Christian women to embrace our differences and support each other rather than tear each other down.

Loathing...The Duke vs. UNC rivalry is the sports equivalent of Loathing from Wicked—a relationship built on deep-seated animosity, unwavering contempt, and just a hint of begrudging respect. Much like Elphaba and Glinda's cutting yet strangely harmonious duet, the Tar Heels and Blue Devils are forever intertwined, each defining the other through decades of battles on the hardwood. Every season, the Cameron Crazies' sneers and the Dean Dome's roars echo the song's theatrical vitriol—"Every little trait, however small, makes my very flesh begin to crawl!"—a sentiment any UNC fan can relate to when spotting Duke's blue and white on the court. My guest today is Andy Bagwell. Andy Bagwell, co-author of Duke Sucks: A Completely Even-Handed, Unbiased Investigation into the Most Evil Team on Planet Earth, captured this dynamic perfectly, dissecting Duke's infamous flopping, smug superiority, and, of course, their uncanny ability to get every foul call.But in true Other People's Shoes fashion, what happens if we step back and examine this rivalry from another angle? The loathing, after all, is what makes it great—what fuels the passion, the unforgettable moments, the pure ecstasy of victory and the gut-wrenching agony of defeat. Without Duke, there is no UNC dominance; without UNC, there is no Duke villainy. Just as Elphaba and Glinda's friction drives Wicked's story forward, this rivalry elevates college basketball itself. It's a hatred that, deep down, every fan secretly loves. Because in the end, while loathing may be the foundation, the rivalry itself is pure magic. Join me as I step into Andy's shoes.

Seeing John Cardoza and Solea Pfeiffer in Moulin Rouge was life-changing and I'm bringing you the breakdown! This week we are doing a round of 'Broadway News Rapid Fire' and chatting in depth about: 

Book Vs. Movie: WickedThe 2004 Musical Vs. the 2024 Movie"Musicals in March"The "Wicked" movie is based on Gregory Maguire's novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West; the book (for the play) was written by Winnie Holzman, with music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz. The show had its initial tryout in San Francisco in 2003 before moving to Broadway, where it has enjoyed a successful two-decade run despite receiving mixed reviews.This success is primarily attributed to its loyal fan base.  Part One concludes with the iconic song "Defying Gravity," setting the stage for Part Two, which explores the consequences of Elphaba's rebellion.

Book Vs. Movie: WickedThe 2004 Musical Vs. the 2024 Movie"Musicals in March"The "Wicked" movie is based on Gregory Maguire's novel Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West; the book (for the play) was written by Winnie Holzman, with music and lyrics by Stephen Schwartz. The show had its initial tryout in San Francisco in 2003 before moving to Broadway, where it has enjoyed a successful two-decade run despite receiving mixed reviews.This success is primarily attributed to its loyal fan base.  Part One concludes with the iconic song "Defying Gravity," setting the stage for Part Two, which explores the consequences of Elphaba's rebellion.

This is the improbable, but true, tale of how Glinda the Good Witch helped save the life of a washed-up actor sentenced to death for murdering his estranged wife inside the Wilkes-Barre City Hall. This is the bizarre story of George L. Marion, a once-famous minstrel show performer with an addiction to pork and beans, and his wife, Frances Lee Brooks, who was raised in commune founded by a wacky faith-healing cult leader.

Send Us a Message (include your contact info if you'd like a reply)The journey of divorce and the story of The Wizard of Oz share striking parallels, making the classic tale a powerful metaphor for the emotional and personal transformation that occurs during and after a divorce. We explore the power of divorce coaching through this timeless story and uncover how, just like Glinda the Good Witch, we as coaches help our clients navigate their own Yellow Brick Roads, overcome obstacles, and realize they've had the power to make decisions and create change all along.Instead of trusting themselves, clients often start out with the belief that a lawyer, the legal system, or a judge (The Wizard) will provide the answers for them. As the story unfolds, we realize that the yellow brick road actually represents the journey that Dorothy must take to realize her own power. And she meets fascinating characters (scarecrow, tin man, and cowardly lion) who represent the parts of herself she needs to discover and develop in order to reach their goals.Dorothy's journey isn't just about reaching Oz—it's about realizing that she had the power to go home all along.

Welcome back to Lez Hang Out, the podcast that is not that girl!  This week, Leigh (@lshfoster) and Ellie (@elliebrigida) hang out with Amanda Holland (@fruity.productions), award-winning comedy writer and filmmaker (who you may recall from our Frozen SBG) to talk about why the 2024 hit musical film Wicked Should've Been Gay. Now, you're probably thinking, “But wait, Ellie and Leigh, the 2024 hit musical film Wicked is already gay”. After all, the source material, a literal Wizard of Oz fanfiction, is pretty much the gayest book ever. But, while we see the tragic enemies-to-lovers (and they were roommates!) of it all between Elphaba and Galinda on screen clear as day, it technically only exists in subtext (so far). We really don't get how, but there are a wild amount of people that do not see Elphie and Glinda as anything more than “really good friends”. In our opinion the only thing that might be gayer than the Wicked movie is the Wicked movie press tour. Whatever was happening there between Cynthia and Ari, we support it 1000000%.  In this episode we go through the entire movie song by song (with a few detours along the way). It was incredibly hard to keep this episode from being as long as the movie itself. In our defense, all three of us are massively passionate about Wicked. Amanda's senior yearbook quote was taken directly from the lyrics of “Defying Gravity”, which we all know is a queer anthem (please hold space for the lyrics of “Defying Gravity”, thank you). Leigh, who insists she never had a “Wicked phase”, just isn't that girl (but maybe she could be “that boy”). And Ellie is ready to call out Galinda's name change for what it really is, “white girl activism”.  We know one thing for sure, Wicked Should've Been Gay. Stay tuned on Youtube to @fruitytv where Amanda plans to release 6 episodes of her brand new queer indie television show throughout the year!

From making her Broadway debut as a teenager in Spring Awakening to stepping into the iconic role of Glinda in Wicked, Alexandra Socha has experienced the highs, lows, and unexpected twists of a life in theater. In this candid and insightful conversation, she opens up about her journey, including the surreal experience of joining Spring Awakening right after the Tony wins, the hard lessons of navigating a career beyond that first big break, and what it's like to take the stage in Wicked at a time when the show is having a massive pop culture moment. Alexandra also shares her experience being diagnosed with ADHD as an adult, how it reshaped her understanding of herself, and the ways neurodivergence has impacted both her personal life and her work as an actor. We talk about masking, resilience, and why she sees ADHD as both a challenge and a superpower—especially when it comes to problem-solving in rehearsals. Plus, we get into Broadway bootleg nostalgia, the balancing act of being a working parent, and why she believes having a full life outside of theater is essential for any artist. Alexandra Socha made her Broadway debut in Spring Awakening and has since appeared in Brighton Beach Memoirs, Head Over Heels, and Wicked as Glinda. Her TV credits include The Big C, Damages, Royal Pains, Red Oaks, and The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.

The musical Wicked is a bold, revisionist take on The Wizard of Oz. It imagines that back in college, the Wicked Witch of the West (Cynthia Erivo) and Glinda the Good Witch of the North (Ariana Grande) were best friends. The sprawling film delivers lavish spectacle, costumes, music, and choreography. But does the long-awaited film live up to the hype?
