Cristin explains being a true disciple of Batman before getting her role as Sofia Falcone, reflecting on a few deeply humbling moments of her career, and the immense gratitude that her trajectory has been long and steady as she approaches 40.Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.

Joy Huerta and Benjamin Velez might come from very different musical worlds — Latin pop and musical theatre — but their collaboration on Real Women Have Curves proves just how powerful a cross-genre partnership can be. Meeting for the first time over Zoom in the middle of the pandemic, these two composers built trust, respect, and a Tony-nominated Broadway score entirely online before ever meeting in person. In this episode, they share how they developed unique musical identities for each character, the surprising ways their backgrounds complemented each other, and why their creative process was built on laughter, voice memos, and a lot of mutual admiration. They also open up about the challenges of adaptation, the emotional toll of cutting songs, and the magic of writing a show that celebrates culture, womanhood, and resilience. Joy discusses her transition from pop music to theatre and how it expanded her creative vocabulary, while Benjamin talks about learning to let go of perfection and embrace joyful collaboration. Plus, the duo reflects on what it means to be “activated” — a word you'll never hear the same way again after this conversation. Joy Huerta is a Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter, best known as one half of the internationally acclaimed Latin pop duo Jesse & Joy. Benjamin Velez is an ASCAP award-winning composer whose work has been developed by Lincoln Center Theater, Ars Nova, and the Public Theater. Together, they co-composed the original Broadway score for Real Women Have Curves, now playing at the James Earl Jones Theatre.

When the jazz singer Cécile McLorin Salvant was profiled in The New Yorker, Wynton Marsalis described her as the kind of talent who comes along only “once in a generation or two.” Salvant's work is rooted in jazz—in the tradition of Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan and Abbey Lincoln—and she has won three Grammy Awards for Best Jazz Vocal Album. But her interests and her repertoire reach across eras and continents. She studied Baroque music and jazz at conservatory, and performs songs in French, Occitan, and Haitian Kreyòl. “I think I have the spirit of a kind of a radio d.j. slash curator,” she tells David Remnick. “It's almost like making a mixtape for someone and only putting deep cuts.” And even when singing the standards, she aims “to find the gems that haven't been sung and sung and sung over and over again.” During a summer tour, she visited the studio at WNYC to perform “Don't Rain on My Parade,” made famous by Barbra Streisand; “Can She Excuse My Wrongs,” by John Dowland, the English composer of the Elizabethan era; and “Moon Song,” an original from Salvant's album “Ghost Song.”This segment originally aired on May 31, 2024.

Novelist, curator, humanitarian, conscious business leader and modern mystic Renee Blodgett has lived multiple lives in one. Having traveled around the world, she has plenty of stories, from riding elephants in the Indian jungle and photographing polar bears in northern Canada to teaching English in Kenya, exploring glaciers in Iceland and selling kilims in Turkey. She has lived in eleven countries, including South Africa during Apartheid and the Gaza Strip. Her multicultural background and years of experience as a communications strategist have led to a career of uplifting others through content, speaking, coaching and leading. Known as a master of storytelling, she has written for several magazines and networks and her own award-winning online travel magazine, We Blog the World, which reaches over half a million globally.

Today, she helps women step into their authentic voices and embrace a life that aligns with their soul's calling. Additionally, she teaches about consciousness with her partner and they lead retreats and membership programs focusing on heart-centered living, universal consciousness, masculine and feminine balance, and the connection to our human existence's inherent beauty and power. Their bestselling book Magdalene's Journey encourages people to rethink our patriarchal-dictated history through the eyes of a pivotal woman.

She is also the host of her own podcast Blue Soul CHATS podcast and the Blue Soul Summit video series, where she has interviewed nearly a hundred visionaries. Renee also launched the Magdalene Collection, a jewelry line dedicated to women's voices and unsung stories.

Fáilte ar ais chuig eagrán nua de Ar An Lá Seo ar an 16ú lá de mí Bealtaine, liomsa Lauren Ní Loingsigh. I 1986 bhagair John Boland go mbeadh sé chun rudaí a dhéanamh leis na pobail tógála mura mbeidís chun na rátaí úis a ghearradh. I 1997 tháinig an phobalbhreith amach ón olltoghchán agus tháinig sé amach gur chaill Fianna Fáil 3 pointe. I 1986 rinne an eagraíocht altranas aird a tharraingt ar an anordúil staid a bhí sna hospidéil sa tír agus tháinig siad amach le ráiteas a raibh criticiúil den chás a raibh san ospidéal in Inis. I 1997 bhí borradh I líon na mbreitheanna sa chontae agus chuaigh sé suas 12% I gcomparáid leis an bhliain roimhe agus laghdaigh an méid is mó leanbh a bhí ag fáil bháis chomh maith. Sin Johnny Logan le What's Another Year – an t-amhrán is mó ar an lá seo I 1980. Ag lean ar aghaidh le nuacht cheoil ar an lá seo I 1987 chuaigh U2 chuig uimhir a haon I Meiriceá lena amhrán With Or Without You. Bhí sé a chéad uimhir a haon I Meiriceá agus d'fhan siad ann ar feadh trí sheachtain. Bhí sé a tríú hamhrán óna albam The Joshua Tree ó 1987 agus bhí sé a amhrán is cáiliúla. I 2009 chuaigh Bob Dylan chuig uimhir a haon I Meiriceá lena albam Together Through Life. Bhí sé a 33ú halbam. Fuair sé dhá ainmniúchán ag The Grammys I Best American Album agus Best Solo Rock Vocal don amhrán Beyond Here Lies Nothin. Bhí an t-albam seo suntasach de bharr go raibh sé uimhir a haon sa Bhreatain agus I Meiriceá ag an am céanna. Agus ar deireadh breithlá daoine cáiliúla ar an lá seo rugadh aisteoir Megan Fox I Meiriceá I 1986 agus rugadh amhránaí Janet Jackson I Meiriceá ar an lá seo I 1966 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 16th of May, with me Lauren Ní Loingsigh 1986: Minister john boland threatened to get tough with the building societies unless they cut their interest rates quickly. 1997: the first opinion poll of the general election showed fianna fail support had slipped by 3 points. 1986: The irish nursing organisation highlighted the chaotic state of the irish hospitals and issued a statement which is highly criticial of the situation in the ennus general hospital. 1997: Clare experienced a baby boom last year with the total number of births increasing by 12% and the no. of infant deaths dropped to their lowest level ever. That was Johnny Logan with What's Another Year – the biggest song on this day in 1980 Onto music news on this day In 1987 U2 started a three week run at No.1 on the US singles chart 'With Or Without You', the group's first US No.1. The third track from their 1987 albumThe Joshua Tree the song was the group's most successful single at the time. 2009 Bob Dylan went to No.1 on the US album chart with ‘Together Through Life', his 33rd studio album. The album received two Grammy Award nominations in Best Americana Album category and Best Solo Rock Vocal Performance category for 'Beyond Here Lies Nothin'. The album also is significant as the only album by Dylan to top the US and UK charts consecutively. And finally celebrity birthdays on this day – actress Megan Fox was born in America in 1986 and singer Janet Jackson was born in America on this day in 1966 and this is one of her songs. I'll be back with you next week with another edition of Ar An Lá Seo.

Marty Stuart rocked the country radio in the early 90s and albums that blended Steve Earle-esque country rock with badass guitar playing and a nod to traditional country. In this episode, we take a listen to the trajectory of Marty's music. Traditional country to modern country to where his music lives now: as rock music. Did that really happen? Stuart has more than 20 studio albums, has charted more than 30 times on the Billboard Hot Country Songs charts, won five Grammy Awards, and is an engaged member of the Grand Ole Opry and Country Music Hall of Fame. It is a fascinating truckload of music. Let's go. Email the show: rockpoprollpodcast@gmail.com website: www.rockpopandroll.com NOTES: The Fabulous Superlatives, Marty Stuart's band since 2002, includes Stuart on guitar and mandolin, Kenny Vaughan on guitar, and Harry Stinson on drums, and from 2002 until 2008, Brian Glenn on bass. From 2008 until 2015, Paul Martin was on bass. In 2015, Chris Scruggs replaced Paul Martin on bass, and also played steel guitar. Every member sings. Stuart's guitars also include "Clarence", a two-tone Fender Telecaster, once owned by Clarence White. This instrument is the original B-Bender guitar, built and designed by White and Gene Parsons (Byrds) in 1967, to allow the guitarist to manually raise the guitar's 'B' string one whole step to play in a style similar to a pedal steel guitar. Stuart bought the guitar in 1980 from White's widow. Mavis Staples of the Staple Singers gave one of her father "Pops" Staples' guitars to Marty Stuart after Pop's death. "My father was Marty's godfather. My sisters and I took him in as our brother. He's the only one that I've heard who -- when he's playing guitar, sounds like Pop. He can play just like him."
Is God's will for your life more of a dot or a circle? That's one of the questions addressed by Grammy Award–winning producer and artist Charlie Peacock, whose new memoir Roots & Rhythm explores what it means to find one's calling in life, how to heal from the past, and how to give up the quest for holding on to power. This conversation reveals at least one middle-school-era debate over what counts as “Christian music” (spoiler: there was almost a fistfight over Amy Grant), and they explore deeper questions about fame, ambition, and why some artists burn out while others grow deeper with time. Peacock shares stories behind producing music for Amy Grant, Switchfoot, and The Civil Wars—and what he's learned from the visible economies of success and the hidden “Great Economy” about which Wendell Berry wrote. You'll hear thoughtful conversation on everything from Zen Buddhism and Jack Kerouac to AI and the future of music. Along the way, Peacock reflects on a note found after his mother's death, a formative encounter with Kierkegaard, and what it means to live with grace as “an antidote to karma.” Peacock and Moore also talk about Frederick Buechner and Merle Haggard, as well as fatherhood, how to find a “circle of affirmation,” and why failing is as important as succeeding. If you're curious about how art and faith intersect in an age of algorithms and ambition, this conversation offers a human and hopeful perspective.

Aretha Franklin got her start at an early age in Gospel music. As the granddaughter of Gospel great Mahalia Jackson and the daughter of a prominent Baptist preacher, Franklin was heard on her father's "gospel caravan" tours at the age of twelve. By the time she became an adult in 1960 she had decided that she wanted to go into more pop music, and moved to New York for this purpose. She signed a deal with Columbia Records, in 1960, but her career would not really take off until moving to Atlantic Records in 1966. By 1968 she was considered by many to be the most successful singer in the nation, and already crowned the "Queen of Soul."Franklin toured outside the US for the first time in late April 1968 through May 1968. She performed in Paris on May 7, 1968, and this concert would be released as the live album Aretha in Paris in the fall of 1968. It was Franklin's second live album, and the first for Atlantic Records where most of her hits were recorded.Some have criticized the backing band as not up to the task of supporting Franklin. However, this album captures Franklin at the top of her game at a time when she was cranking out some of the biggest hits of her career. It would be difficult for any supporting band to keep up, particularly one assembled for an overseas tour. Regardless, this is a great album to explore as a snapshot of Aretha Franklin at the height of success.Lynch brings us a high energy live soul album from the Queen of Soul in her prime for today's podcast. (I Can't Get No) SatisfactionThis Rolling Stones cover is the lead-off track to the album and to the concert. The Stones had released this song in 1965, and it had become their first number 1 song in the States. Franklin takes the tempo up for this cover.(You Make Me Feel Like) A Natural WomanCarole King and Gerry Goffin wrote this song for Franklin based on an idea from producer Jerry Wexler. It originally appeared on Franklin's album "Lady Soul", and went to number 8 on the U.S. charts. It would make history when it hit the UK charts a week after Franklin's death in 2018, 51 years after the single was first released. (Sweet Sweet Baby) Since You've Been GoneThe original single for this live song was released on the "Lady Soul" album, and reached number 5 on the Billboard Hot 100. This song was written by Franklin and her then-husband Teddy White. The studio version of this song utilized the talents of the Muscle Shoals Rhythm Section, who were flown in from Alabama to record in a New York City studio.Chain of FoolsSongwriter Don Covay wrote this song in his youth, and presented it to producer Jerry Wexler as a song for Otis Redding. Wexler decided to have Franklin record it instead of Redding. It was a big hit, taking the number 1 slot on the R&B charts for four weeks, number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100, and delivering Franklin a Grammy for Best R&B Vocal Performance. ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Theme from the television comedy show “Laugh In”This sketch comedy show would capture a lot of American counter-culture of the time from Tiny Tim to "sock it to me!" STAFF PICKS:Ride My See Saw by the Moody BluesWayne kicks off the staff picks with a psychedelic song from the second Moody Blues album, "In Search of the Lost Chord." The song is about leaving school and finding that the world isn't what you thought it would be. On the album, the song is preceded by a spoken word introduction called "Departure."Harper Valley PTA by Jeannie C. RileyRob's staff pick is a storytelling song written by Tom T. Hall about a widow named Mrs. Johnson and her tangle with the PTA. When her teenage daughter received a note from the Harper Valley PTA criticizing the way she is living, Mrs. Johnson attends the next meeting and reveals some indiscretions of the other PTA members.Light My Fire by Jose FelicianoBruce features an acoustic cover of the Doors hit single with a Latin twist. Jose Feliciano is best known for the Christmas song "Feliz Navidad," but this Puerto Rican artist also had a hit with this cover that peaked at number 3 on in late summer 1968. His album "Feliciano!" is a selection of acoustic cover songs, and his most successful one. He won "Best Male Pop Vocal Performance" at the 1969 Grammy Awards for this cover.Son of a Preacher Man by Dusty SpringfieldLynch closes out the staff picks with a song that writers John Hurley and Ronnie Wilkins wrote with Aretha Franklin in mind.

Send us a message, so we know what you're thinking!Back in Season 1, we talked at length about Warren Zevon, one of the great American songwriters and one of our idols. So, this year Warren Zevon has been inducted into the Rock'n'Roll Hall of Fame, along with Bad Company and Cyndi Lauper, and we thought that was a perfect excuse to close the loop on our coverage of his career. It's all here – his later career, final album, appearances on Letterman. We loved doing it, and we know that you will love listening to this one! Our “Album You Must Listen to Before You Die” is John Lennon's 1980 hit, “Imagine”. As usual with Lennon's solo albums, it's more (and less) than it seems on the face of it, containing some of Lennon's best work along with some filler. But, hey, it's a strong album and gave Roxy Music their worst-ever cover (FYI - “Jealous Guy”). We also venture into the world of ChatGPT to find out the Best Albums of 1972. Fairly strong list – Jethro Tull, Deep Purple, Lou Reed and..............................Wishbone Ash! Who?

THE VIBEwith Kelly Cardenas presentsSPEECH - ARRESTED DEVELOPMENTTodd "Speech" Thomas is a Grammy-winning artist, poet, and trailblazing cultural icon whose impact on hip-hop, social justice, and Black culture is both profound and enduring. As the visionary leader of Arrested Development, the two-time Grammy Award-winning hip-hop collective, Speech has used music as a force for empowerment, reflection, and positive change. His artistry and activism have paved the way for generations, blending socially conscious themes with a commitment to equity, unity, and creative integrity. Since their debut in 1991, Speech and Arrested Development have been a groundbreaking influence in hip-hop, celebrated for their bold reimagining of the genre. Their debut album, 3 Years, 5 Months and 2 Days in the Life of…, sold over 4 million copies and garnered numerous accolades, including Grammys for Best New Artist and Best Rap Single (“Tennessee”), two MTV Awards, a Soul Train Music Award, and an NAACP Image Award. Rolling Stone named them Band of the Year, and VH-1 recognized Arrested Development as one of the greatest hip-hop artists of all time. Their hit song "Tennessee" was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame's list of the "500 Songs That Shaped Rock and Roll," a testament to its lasting influence on music and culture. Speech's contributions were spotlighted in the Atlanta Journal-Constitution's acclaimed documentary South Has Got Something to Say, where he remarked, “There would be no Outkast without Arrested Development”—a powerful reminder of Arrested Development's role in shaping Southern hip-hop and paving the way for future icons. Arrested Development's fusion of Afrocentric spirituality, social consciousness, and community-centered themes forged a path in hip-hop that few have rivaled, influencing artists globally and solidifying their legacy as cultural innovators. Despite these contributions, Speech and Arrested Development's pioneering role in popular culture is often underrecognized, though their influence is undeniable.In 2024, Speech's legendary status was further cemented as he joined an elite lineup performing with Queen Latifah, Common, De La Soul on the CBS Grammy Tribute to 50 Years of Hip Hop. This performance underscored his contributions to the genre, which were also recently honored by the State of Georgia with the prestigious Privilege House Resolution, recognizing his lifelong dedication to the arts, social justice, and cultural advocacy.

Send us a textIn 2017, Colorado guitarist and singer/songwriter James Dumm came up with an idea for a supergroup. He had played songs from The Allman Brothers Band with his Denver jam tribute, Mountain Jam, and he wanted to create another tribute band featuring an all-star lineup. Thus, The Other Brothers came to be.The core lineup consists of Dumm on electric and slide guitar, Rob Eaton Jr. (also from Mountain Jam) on electric guitar, Todd Smallie on bass, Bill McKay on keys, Will Trask on percussion, and Mark Levy and John Michel on drums.Among their performance accomplishments, Michel frequently tours with the John Oates Band, and McKay toured with Smallie in the Derek Trucks Band, for which Smallie was a core member. The band's final album, Already Free, which features Smallie on bass and backing vocals, won the 2010 Grammy Award for Best Contemporary Blues Album.Meanwhile, Dumm and McKay play with Johnny and the Mongrels, Dumm with Drunken Hearts, Eaton Jr. with Brother's Keeper, Levy with Circles Around the Sun, and Trask with High Hawks.The lineup is flexible, since not every member can make it to every show due to their other projects. Trask's role as a percussionist is especially flexible, as the choice is meant to represent choices in the band's later career, and Jiho Han, bassist for Judo Chop, will sub for Smallie in various upcoming shows.

It's a challenge to describe bassist John Patitucci. He's a 2025 Jazz Journalists Association Award winner for Electric Bassist of the Year, and four-time Grammy Award winning artist, one of today's elite bassists, not just jazz but in all of music, but that's too limiting. John is a bassist with not only excellent rhythm but a complex, angular rhythmic style with dynamic and warm tones and a style that moves people emotionally as well as physically. No, that's too inadequate. John describes himself as, “a man of faith.” But when I step back, I realize all the above pretty much sums it up. A Brooklyn, New York native, John Patitucci's musical history is, in his words, a “Cinderella story.” At 25 years old, he was suddenly whisked away by iconic jazz pianist Chick Corea to join his new band, the Chick Corea Elektric Band and later the Akoustic Band where he played a large role in developing the sound of jazz fusion of the 1980s and 90s. It was Chick Corea who facilitated Patitucci's connection with GRP Records to make his first recordings and then tour the world, quickly becoming a global jazz figure. The story continues in 1986 when he was invited by saxophonist legend Maestro Wayne Shorter to contribute to his Columbia Records project Phantom Navigator. This led to Patitucci joining Wayne Shorter's 20-year four-time Grammy Award winning quartet, along with his good friends, pianist Danilo Perez and drummer Brian Blade. For John, this was the ultimate life. While Chick's band set John on a forward trajectory, it was in Wayne Shorter's band that he grew spiritually as well as technically. “The things that happened on stage are spiritual experiences for me. It's been transformative.” It's this spiritual development that is the pinnacle component of our conversation. John's “faith” plays a large role in his music, his stage presence, and his relationships with key band members including saxophone giant Chris Potter and legendary drummer Brian Blade. His fondness for pianist Danilo Perez continues from their brotherhood in the Wayne Shorter Quartet. This conversation occurs just as John, Danilo Perez, and Brian Blade returned with iconic saxophonist Ravi Coltrane on the three-week Wayne Shorter Legacy Tour in Europe. We open the episode recounting the tour and the importance faith played in it. We spent time delving into his recent recording, Spirit Fall, laughing and enjoying ourselves describing the compositions that impressed us the most. The creation and emotional depth of Spirit Fall, recorded without rehearsals, is a focal point of the conversation, illustrating the trio's deep connection and improvisational synergy that's felt throughout the album. Thanks to Edition Records, there are three tracks to listen to on this episode. The John Patitucci Trio: John Patitucci-double bass/electric bass, Chris Potter-tenor saxophone/bass clarinet, and Brian Blade-drums/percussion. The playlist: Think Fast (6:51), Spirit Fall (6:18), and Lipi'm (7:40), all John Patitucci compositions and produced by John Patitucci. Thank you for listening to this podcast.

A Westmont College graduate with dual business and social science degrees, Amy excels under pressure—once securing a keynote speaker with only 4 hours notice. OPENING QUOTE:“What's that one thing you want them to walk away with and not do it based on maxing out the budget. But what's going to be the most effective, the most helpful? My dream is when a client calls me and says, remember who we had two years ago, three years ago? You know that like you said about Kevin, you know, that's when I know this person is really good at what they do. When my Client remembers their name and actually remembers how they made them feel or gave them that insight that has stuck with them years later.” SUMMARY:Welcome back to another episode of No More Bad Events. Today, Scott sits down with Amy Eddy, a seasoned speaker bureau agent from Big Speak with over 18 years in the events industry.

AUDIOGRAM[19:29-20:08]:And so when we come in and start to partner with them, we got to get them to shift, shift gears and think about like after the event is over, what do you want to be happening? And I think that just for a lot of people, they're just not thinking that way. Right. They've got a hundred things to do regarding this conference. This is one piece of it. It's super stressful. It's a lot of money. I mean, literally, people can lose jobs for hiring the wrong person. So it can be really stressful. So that's a challenge that we have. And I think an important job that we do is to get them thinking about what about after, what do you want to be going on after? And then we'll backtrack from there to figure out who's the right fit.

Mix engineer and recording engineer Jayda Love, along with Dolby Atmos® mix engineer Juan Razuri, join guest host Ben Givarz to discuss their work on Doechii's Grammy®-winning mixtape, “Alligator Bites Never Heal,” which took home Best Rap Album at the 2025 GRAMMY Awards® and earned nominations for Best Rap Performance and Best New Artist. In this episode, Jayda and Juan break down their creative process — from initial recording sessions in Los Angeles to the immersive final mixes in Dolby Atmos.“A lot of the vocal production stuff — as a recording engineer — I'll help with layering and blending. That's a big thing for her. But a lot of the time, in terms of volume and placement and stuff, she's very hands-on. She'll be like, ‘I need those higher.' And naturally, as an engineer, ‘I'm like, these are a little too loud.' But then I'll finally get an ear break or hear it take a step back and I'm like, ‘oh, she's very particular about this stuff, especially the presence of her voice.' And so I can definitely credit a lot of that to her.”—Jayda Love, Mix Engineer, “Alligator Bites Never Heal” by DoechiiStay connected!- You can listen to Doechii's “Alligator Bites Never Heal,” as well as many other classic and contemporary artists in Dolby Atmos, on enabled streaming services.- Follow Doechii on Instagram- Follow mix engineers Jayda Love and Juan Razuri on Instagram- Follow Top Dawg Entertainment on InstagramInterested in creating content in Dolby Atmos?

De son vrai nom Sean Combs, celui qui a régné pendant des années sur le hip-hop de la côte Est des États-Unis est le principal accusé d'un dossier qui mêle sexe, argent, drogue et manipulation. Sean Combs, c'est le rappeur et producteur à succès qui s'appelait autrefois Puff Daddy, un nom qui fait clairement référence au cannabis, puis plus tard P. Diddy. Sean Combs, c'est 3 Grammy Awards, un Oscar, des millions d'albums vendus, dont quatre certifiés disque de platine. Ce sont aussi des collaborations avec Mary J Blige, Notorious BIG, Jennifer Lopez, Jay Z, ou le pédophile condamné R. Kelly. Il a son étoile sur Hollywood Boulevard, à Los Angeles. Bref, c'est un homme qui pèse d'un poids énorme dans le milieu musical, rappelle notre correspondant à Washington, Guillaume Naudin.P. Diddy est inculpé de 5 chefs d'accusation, dont certains peuvent lui valoir la prison à vie, parmi lesquels trafic sexuel et racket ou encore transport en vue d'activités de prostitution. Les procureurs lui reprochent notamment l'organisation de ce que lui-même appelle des « freak offs », des événements au cours desquels des femmes à qui il faisait miroiter des opportunités de carrière étaient sommées, en étant droguées si nécessaire, de satisfaire ses désirs sexuels ou encore de s'engager dans des activités sexuelles avec des prostitués masculins, pendant plusieurs jours. Le tout filmé à la fois pour le plaisir de Sean Combs et aussi à des fins de faire chanter les victimes pas assez dociles. Plaider non-coupable ?P. Diddy a décidé de plaider non-coupable, alors que les accusations sont suffisamment graves pour que même une star comme lui attende son procès en prison, dans une section réservée tout de même à des célébrités, ou à des gens qui bénéficient d'un traitement privilégié. Il dément toutes les accusations, indiquant que toutes ces activités étaient consenties. Quatre femmes figurent parmi les accusatrices. L'acte d'accusation les désigne anonymement, mais on sait au moins que la victime dite N°1 est Casandra Ventura, Cassie pour la scène et ses activités de choriste, ex-petite amie de Sean Combs. Comme d'autres femmes, elle l'avait déjà poursuivi au civil dans une affaire qui s'était réglée à l'amiable, autrement dit moyennant finances.Ce procès doit durer 8 à 10 semaines et il commence aujourd'hui par la traditionnelle sélection du jury, on sait déjà qu'il sera très suivi dans l'industrie du spectacle, parce que Sean Combs connaissait beaucoup de monde et depuis longtemps. Des fêtes, il en a organisé beaucoup dans ses différentes maisons. Il est donc légitime de se demander qui savait quoi et qui participait à quoi. Il faut dire que ce genre de pratiques ne date apparemment pas d'hier dans l'industrie musicale. C'est assez courant depuis les années 70 de faire taire les victimes par la menace ou par des NDA, des « non-disclosure agreements », des accords de confidentialité moyennant finances, selon une enquête du Washington Post. Quelques femmes ont osé témoigner et elles ne sont évidemment plus dans le milieu musical. À Miami, où va Little Haïti ?Le quartier de Little Haïti à Miami a pris ce nom après l'arrivée de très nombreux Haïtiens dans les années 1960 et 1970, ceux qui fuyaient la dictature des Duvalier. De la vie de l'époque, il reste encore les peintures murales. Mais pour le reste, les magasins de produits haïtiens, les marchés, les restaurants, plus grand-chose ne subsiste. L'appétit des promoteurs immobiliers a fait partir les Haïtiens, comme l'a constaté notre envoyé spécial, Eric Solo. Reportage à réécouter dans son intégralité dans l'édition du jour. Les États-Unis désignent deux entités criminelles d'Haïti comme des organisations terroristesLa coalition Vivre Ensemble et le gang Gran Grif viennent d'être désignés « organisations terroristes transnationales ». Le chef de la diplomatie américaine, Marco Rubio, les qualifie de « menace directe pour la sécurité nationale » et il estime dans un communiqué que ces deux entités sont « les deux principales sources d'instabilité et de violence en Haïti ».Conséquence concrète de cette décision : toute transaction avec Gran Grif ou Vivre Ensemble placera les auteurs de ces transactions sous la menace de sanctions anti-terroristes. On parle aussi bien de ressortissants haïtiens que de personnes résidant légalement aux États-Unis, et même de citoyens américains. Autrement dit, l'administration Trump tente d'asphyxier ces groupes criminels en coupant leurs sources de revenus. Réaction du Conseil président de transition sur le réseau social X : c'est « un pas dans la bonne direction », estime le CPT qui parle aussi de signal encourageant pour les magistrats d'Haïti qui souhaitent éradiquer la criminalité. Le CPT se dit « prêt à collaborer avec tous les pays soutenant la lutte contre le fléau du terrorisme ». L'actualité des Outre-mer avec nos confrères de la 1èreC'est une conséquence peu connue de l'éruption en 1902 de la Montagne Pelée : « l'exil » d'un certain nombre de Martiniquais… en Guyane.

Today, May 1, is the first day of Maternal Mental Health Awareness Month. I'm bringing back this special episode from last year; it's a listener favorite, one of my favorites, and one of our most popular downloads. I'm deeply honored to share my interview with Grammy Award-winning singer-songwriter, thought leader, and wholeness advocate, Alanis Morissette! She is joined by the president and CEO of Postpartum Support International, Dr. Wendy Davis. Alanis has given much of her time, heart, energy, and effort to raise awareness about maternal mental health. In our conversation, she shares vulnerable and enlightening peeks into her personal experience, and her feelings mirror what many suffering women feel. Alanis found PSI as a resource when she was dealing with perinatal mental health challenges, and she has openly shared about the value of PSI resources while on tour. In addition to being a long-time, powerful presence in the music world, she has become an equally influential advocate for mental health. She has been vocal about experiencing postpartum depression, or “postpartum activity,” as she has referred to it. In our conversation, she shares like never before what her experience was like, how it impacted her life, and how she has found her way to healing. Being in the public eye as a well-known performer has brought a whole other level of pressure and scrutiny to Alanis' life experiences under the bright–and sometimes stinging–light of celebrity. Dr. Wendy Davis began as a volunteer with PSI in 1997, became the executive director in 2009, and later became the president and CEO. She was drawn to this work after healing from postpartum depression and has become a passionate advocate and leader in the world of perinatal mental health. I've been privileged to see Wendy in action at PSI and work closely with her in my role as the Board Chair. Her heart-centered and help-centered approach to leadership has grown PSI into the leading perinatal mental health non-profit in the world today. Show Highlights: ● Alanis' struggle to balance the people-pleasing life of a celebrity with “the dark swamp of depression” that nobody wanted to see or hear ● Being a high-achieving perfectionist who is self-reliant and autonomous puts a person at a greater risk for postpartum depression. ● Figuring out the archetype of “mom” is a lifelong journey. ● Understanding how the 90s rock and roll scene was a strongly patriarchal environment that left Alanis feeling more isolated and less connected ● Alanis' experience with anger, rage, panic attacks, and a loss of identity ● Tenderness, love, and empowerment in motherhood ● Our immense gratitude for Alanis' impact as a fierce advocate and champion of PSI's work and helpful resources Resources: Connect with Alanis Morissette: Find out more about Alanis' music and events on her Website; follow Alanis on social media: Instagram, Facebook, and YouTube Call the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA or visit cdph.ca.gov Please find resources in English and Spanish at Postpartum Support International, or by phone/text at 1-800-944-4773.

As we here at WAMC celebrate the 25th Anniversary of The Roundtable, a little American musical is celebrating 10 years since it premiered in New York City – and quickly became a once-in-a-generation success in terms of reviews, ticket sales, fan enthusiasm, and awards recognition.“Hamilton” opened off-Broadway at The Public Theatre on January 20, 2015 and played there through May 3. It opened on Broadway at the Richard Rodgers Theatre in early August of 2015, where it is still running. “Hamilton” won 11 Tony Awards, a 2016 Grammy Award for its cast recording, and the 2016 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. It has played – and is playing – all over the world. A pro-tape of the production's original cast streams on Disney+ and was a pandemic sensation.But before all of that - “The Hamilton Mixtape” was a work-in-progress, put up in a black-box staged-reading, presented by New York Stage and Film and Vassar College in the summer of 2013. And I did get to be there - in the room where it was starting to happen.

There is bouncing back after adversity, and then there is: Vanessa Williams. The talented multi-hyphenate was only 21 years old when she became the first Black woman to be crowned Miss America. Yet a controversy surrounding the release of unauthorized nude photos led to her ultimately relinquishing her title 10 months into her reign. When doors were closed to her following the scandal, she fought her way back to an impressive and decorated career: Williams built decades of success as an actor and recording artist, selling 25 million records worldwide, starring in over 100 roles in television, film, and on Broadway - and being nominated for a Tony and multiple Emmy and Grammy Awards. Vanessa Williams speaks with host Alec Baldwin about the death threats she received after she won Miss America, how the work of Stephen Sondheim inspires the type of art she wishes to make, and what it’s like working with Elton John on her next big project.
