Holding Space? What about Thickening Space?? Inspired by The Muppets, Ani DiFranco, Sinead O'Connor, and Joni Mitchell- queer music icon - B*TCH is here to talk about her musical memoir, B*TCHCRAFT at wild project. Sarah and B*TCH talk about political art, musical theatre, "thickening space" in acting class, violin, One Long Earring, and much much more! B*tch (Creator/Performer) is a longstanding queer music icon who Yahoo Entertainment called “a feminist force that the world needs now more than ever” when she released “B*tchcraft,” her 9th studio album, on the legendary label Kill Rock Stars in 2022. With her signature electric violin and lyrical smarts front and center over huge beats and deep synths, B*tch coined the genre “Poet Pop.” “B*tchcraft is a masterpiece,” said Amy Ray of the Indigo Girls. Both Indigo Girls and Ani DiFranco took B*tch on tour as their opener. Joey Soloway (Transparent) directed the music video for “Easy Target.” B*tch first achieved notoriety as one half of the folk duo B*tch and Animal. The duo had met in acting school at DePaul University (formerly the Goodman School of Drama), where B*tch was the recipient of the Merit Scholarship for two years in a row. They toured with Ani DiFranco, and released two albums on her label Righteous Babe Records, and were nominated for a GLAAD Media award in 2003. In 2004, B*tch went solo, and shared stages with the Indigo Girls, acted in John Cameron Mitchell's film “Shortbus,” co-wrote a song with Margaret Cho, and produced two albums of her elder and folk hero Ferron. Recently, she played a role in the new Audible podcast of Alison Bechdel's “Dykes To Watch Out For,” alongside Jane Lynch, Carrie Brownstein and Roxane Gay. The series was directed by Leigh Silverman (Suffs, Violet, Well), and Bitch co-wrote a song for it with Faith Soloway (Transparent, A Transparent Musical).

Photo: Kathleen O'Grady (L) Faith Imaafiion (R) Theatre of Note's production of Fruition 2019A lifelong actor, Kathleen O'Grady's earliest memory of her life's work finds her riding with her siblings around Los Angeles, in the back of her mother's car—driving to the next audition. Growing up in the town of Reseda - named for the mignonette a fragrant plant found in the gardens of the San Fernando Valley - her parents moved north to the Bay area where team soccer and volleyball replaced limited theatrical opportunity.Chicago's robust theater community called this aspiring performer to enroll in DePaul's Theater School, formerly The Goodman School, where she studied under legendary thespian mentors Dr. Bella Itkin, and Joe Slovick. After graduation Kathleen catapulted from commercials, created her own theater company, and performed with Steppenwolf, the theater company which launched the careers of Joan Allen, John Malkovich, Laurie Metcalf, and Martha Plimpton. Inspired by love, a move to New York found Kathleen exploring every aspect of her craft from guest starring roles in Murder in the First, Law & Order, Off Broadway productions, and more commercials. A pivot arrived while finding a natural proclivity for landscape design while working in her garden. Following a new passion, she studied landscape design and horticulture at Columbia University, where she earned her master's degree. Kathleen follows sister passions of acting, producing, landscape design integrating native plants, beneficial insects, soil regeneration, restorative permaculture, and land stewardship. This master artist and designer can be found at Theatre of Note, and Gregory Davis & Associates Landscape Design. It was such a thrill to catch up and host Kathleen on this episode of Intrinsic Drive ® .

Despite the many potential impacts of the legalization of cannabis in Canada, provincial and territorial governments’ poor disclosure of data about their recreational sales hinders researchers’ efforts to study the the medical and social effects of legalization. In the United States, jurisdictions such as Colorado and Washington are proactive in disclosing detailed cannabis sales data, which has helped researchers to gain understanding of the impacts of legalization to inform regulatory improvements. To ensure that Canada’s 2021 regulatory review is fair and evidence-based, provinces and territories must make publicly available the recreational cannabis sales data that they already collect and supply to Health Canada, as a minimum.

Should you be concerned if your winery's name is easy to pronounce? Why shouldn't you directly apply the results of this study to real-world settings? What preliminary findings have been identified in how consumers perceive grape varietal names? How might you unconsciously assess wines like Pfaffenheim? What can you expect from Pfaffenheim Cuvée Bacchus Le Cave Des Vignerons De Pfaffenheim Gewurztraminer 2010?

Are wines named after a sports celebrity any good or is this just a marketing gimmick? Are more gentle sports like golf better suited to marketing a wine than the more rough and tumble world of wrestling? What does research tell us about the effect of celebrity endorsements on your wine-buying behaviour? How does your wine knowledge impact your interpretation of external cues, like celebrity endorsement, when buying wine? In this episode of the Unreserved Wine Talk podcast, I'm chatting with Dr. Antonia Mantonakis, Fellow of the Cool Climate Oenology and Viticulture Institute, Associate Professor of Marketing at the Goodman School of Business, and Associate Faculty of Psychology at Brock University in Niagara, Canada. Highlights Why is Antonia's research around wines associated with celebrities relevant to you as a wine consumer? Is there any overlap when you think of certain sports and wine? How do you determine how well-matched a sport is to wine? Which sports had the highest and lowest matches with wine? How were the final sports categories chosen for the study? What do the study results suggest about the effect of celebrity endorsements on your wine buying behaviour? Why do moderately mismatched products and sponsors cause you to pay the most attention? How does your wine knowledge impact your interpretation of external cues when buying wine? What wine-related research can you look forward to from Antonia in the near future? How does the inclusion of a picture change your perception of a wine label?

John Dugan was born in Brazil, Indiana. He attended the Goodman School of Drama at the Art Institute of Chicago. During his time in Chicago, he performed in several theatrical productions. While he was in Chicago, screenwriter Kim Henkle approached him to portray an old patriarch of a cannibalistic family, and he enthusiastically accepted the offer. He was cast as Grandpa in "The Texas Chain Saw Massacre", a film directed by Tobe Hooper. He was 19 years old at the time of filming, playing the 113-year-old man whose family lured young people to their Texas homestead, where they were killed and eaten. The low-budget film has become a classic in the horror genre, spawning several sequels and a remake. After filming, John returned to theater acting in Chicago, and eventually moved to Los Angeles. He took several years off to focus on his family and raising his daughter. Thankfully to his fans, John’s hiatus ended, and he began filming again. True to his roots he did a cameo appearance in “Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation” and reprised his role as Grandpa after 38 years for the film "Texas Chainsaw 3D". He has appeared in several independent horror films, including Monstrosity”, “The Butcher Boys” and in “The Hospital”. He also appeared in the film rendition of Stephen King's The Boogeyman. And almost forty years later, he appeared in the iconic movie “Texas Chainsaw 3D” (2013) as Grandpa Sawyer. John most recently appeared in Rock Paper Scissors, written by Victor Miller, as Uncle Charles, a sinister character who is unforgettable. The film was released on DVD last summer. John currently resides in the Nashville area with his wife. Follow John on TWITTER and FACEBOOK
It has been nearly a year and a half since recreational cannabis was legalized in Canada in October 2018. The government said that legalization was primarily intended to keep cannabis out of the hands of youth and to fight back against organized crime.Today on BTH, we look back at cannabis legalization - can we look at this effort as a success? How have the different provinces decided to set up their systems?We were joined by Senator Tony Dean, and Professor Michael J Armstrong from Brock University to discuss how legalization has unfolded and what still needs to be done to improve the system.Tony Dean was appointed to the Senate of Canada as an Independent Senator in November 2016. He was formerly a professor at the graduate School of Public Policy and Governance at the University of Toronto, and is now a Distinguished Senior Fellow at the Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy. Dean has advised governments in Canada, and internationally, on public administration and public service reform and has chaired several expert panels at the federal and provincial levels. In 2017-2018 Dean sponsored Bill C-45, the Cannabis Legalization Bill, in the Senate of Canada.Michael J. Armstrong is an associate professor of operations research in the Goodman School of Business at Brock University in St. Catharines, Ontario. He frequently writes about Canada’s cannabis legalization efforts, especially how government regulations interact with business practices to support or undermine policy goals.Special thanks to Senior Producers Aryeh Ansel and Erin Anderson-Birmingham, Junior Producer Haobo Chen, and Executive Director Vienna Vendittelli for producing this episode.
In 1999, two high school seniors went on a shooting rampage at Columbine High School in Littleton, Colorado, killing 13 people and wounding 20 others before turning their guns on themselves. Since the Columbine shootings, over 200 people have been killed in school shootings in the United States. Tammy Matthews was a teacher working at a nearby elementary school when the Columbine shooting occurred. Little did she know then that nearly twenty years later another school shooting, this one in Parkland, Florida, would be the catalyst for the creation of the ensemble group Social Justice Theater of the Carolinas. Their inaugural production, columbinus, premiered a year ago in Pittsboro and is now touring the Triangle through March. For more information and a performance schedule, visit https://www.pittsboroyouththeater.com/social-justice-theater (https://www.pittsboroyouththeater.com/social-justice-theater).
