Our corporate overlords have paused this episode of Apologies Accepted, the Podcast, to remind everyone of the joys of work and the joys of not complaining about it. We return you now to your regularly scheduled work day: Someone said the quite parts out loud on a podcast, but she wasn't talking for herself. She got a lot of pushback and fulll disclosure I am blissfully hight righ now during my personal time! I can do what I want! Or can I? (0: OMG you are gonna love this episode unless you are a corporate overlord! Love, Not Working Right Now Could that get you fired if you posted it online (theo will find out next week!). When does the work day end and are you the owner of your own soul? Gen Z is about to find out, or die tryin (while working)!
I don't have enough superlatives for Danny Paul Grody, but he is such a kind and generous person that even a short conversation with him will leave you feeling better about the world. His latest album, Arc of Day, captures that spirit. It plots a sonic pathway through darkness and isolation to the other side, where light still glows. Brad and Danny talk in-depth about the album and its origins, the incredible collaborators who helped bring it to life, and a little Furniture Music for good measure. Arc or Day is out now on Three Lobed. https://threelobed.bandcamp.com/album/arc-of-day https://dannypaulgrody.bandcamp.com/album/furniture-music-ii The Seltzer Salon is a concise, conversational podcast hosted by Brad Rose and produced by Foxy Digitalis. Each episode features a musician, artist, writer, or anyone, really, focusing on a single project or idea. I know we all have limited time each day, so I wanted to do something a little smaller scale with just as much impact, so episodes will be 25-45 minutes in length.

What's crack a lacking, Slackers?Ever say something out loud and say to yourself, "wow, that sounded like an old person"? Well, you'd be right if you use terms like - grody, far out, gag me, bodacious, rad, or maybe even tubular. Sure, our kids say some weird things, but really every generation of youth comes up with some bizarro forms of expression.From stoners, to surfers, to Valley Girls, to yuppies, to rockers, everyone has contributed to the evolution (or devolution) of our language and what eventually becomes accepted parts of the lexicon.And did you know that the term "cribs" has been used as slang since Shakespeare?Just remember that weekends are for swinging on the flippity-flop. If you know, you know. if you don't, listen to the episode!

Jace chats with writer Ian Grody about the world of Lesser Evils. A series of stories set in Brooklyn that capture the heart and culture of New York and encompass the reader with a sense you only get from the infinite possibilities of the diverse city. AWA had this to say about the Lesser Evils universe; AWA Studios, the independent developer of bold and relevant stories from the world's most outstanding artists, writers, and artisans, announced today the introduction of Lesser Evils, an all-new original shared universe set in and starring Brooklyn. The universe is kicking off with a slate of series, EMMETT, GINN, THRIFTR and TAILS - stories created by and for people on creative culture's cutting edge. From comic books to short films and webtoons, the Brooklyn-based adventures debut today with the digital release of EMMETT #1: A LESSER EVILS STORY. Lesser Evils invites readers to “Brooklyn Through the Looking Glass,” where a golem with benefits, a spiraling genie, a demon who feeds on bad vibes, and a promising young mermaid collide with heartbroken, hard-living, and hype-obsessed humans. Set in the booming and action-packed city of Brooklyn, NY, Lesser Evils is a hilarious, pop culture-filled universe created by Ian Grody (writer) and Justin Fair (director), along with artist Yishan Li (illustrator), that explores what intimacy, spite, selflessness, and friendship mean today. “My aspiration from the jump has been to create a comic through the lens of contemporary culture. And reflect it back to readers through relevant, relatable stories filled with references to their favorite music, movies, and memes,” said Ian Grody, co-creator and writer of Lesser Evils. “Brooklyn was the perfect backdrop because it's not only a cultural hub, it's a place of becoming. Where people actively go to transform and reinvent themselves. Any place where there's that much hope and desperation and frustration is already full of magic. No better venue for our eerie and eerily familiar tales.” Justin Fair, co-creator and director/producer of Lesser Evils, added, “As a seminal rocker and voice of a generation, Gavin Rossdale (Bush, Institute), sang: ‘It's the little things that kill.' Lesser Evils are the less obvious, often self-inflicted, more insidious evils that threaten our well-being. They are the pitfalls we all must avoid and the obstacles we all must navigate within ourselves to achieve a successful place in our social circles, in our neighborhoods and in the world. Our hope is that through the drama, the humor, and the thrills and chills, Lesser Evils is a guided tour for the reader through some of the lesser-known exotic microcosms of Brooklyn and the frighteningly familiar exotic microcosms of themselves.” “It's kind of slightly chilling, slightly funny, but more of a mystery, everyday life kind of thing,” said Yishan Li, artist of Lesser Evils. “That's definitely something I like to draw.”
Dr. Grody specializes in Medical Genetics & Molecular Diagnostics. Let's talk about their journey and the lessons learned over their 33 years of practice.

They also discuss how counter-culture and the discovery of new music has changed over the years. They chat about some of Sims favorite hip hop artist like Outkast, Aesop Rock & Nas and they run through a list of things that came out in 1982, the same year Sims made his debut on this planet.

Historie o ukrytych skarbach, wampirach i podwodnych osadach rozpalają wyobraźnie od lat. Rzadko jednak kojarzymy je z Polską - tymczasem okazuje się, że aby odkryć średniowieczne okulary, złote korony a nawet marzenia, nie trzeba wyjeżdżać do Egiptu czy Grecji. Archeolodzy w naszym kraju mają ręce pełne roboty, niestety mają też sporo kłopotów: to między innymi rabusie i poszukiwacze zabytków, którzy nie tylko przywłaszczają sobie znalezione okazy, ale także niszczą stanowiska archeologiczne. Zmienia się także podejście badaczy do wykonywanych prac - niewykluczone, że wkrótce, zamiast wykopywać lub wyławiać obiekty, będą próbować badać je w miejscu w którym się zachowały. Więcej o skarbach które kryją się w Polsce, bolączkach archeologów i trendach we współczesnej archeologii, opowiada Agnieszka Krzemińska, popularyzatorka nauki, dziennikarka i autorka książki "Grody, garnki i uczeni. O archeologicznych tajemnicach ziem polskich", która ukazała się nakładem Wydawnictwa Literackiego. Do wysłuchania rozmowy zaprasza Aleksandra Galant.

Beyond the Lights: A Conversation with Theater Professionals
Andrea Grody is a music director and music supervisor, primarily working in new musicals. Now, if you've been listening for a while you know that one of my specialties and loves is new plays, so it was such a pleasure to discuss what that looks like from a musical director's perspective. Andrea has been on two of the bigger Broadway shows over the last few years, The Band's Visit and Tootsie—two pretty different shows. She walks me through a little of what those processes looked like and the different challenges they each presented.For a full transcript of this episode visit beyondthelightspodcast.com.Mentioned in this Episode[00:04:33] The Civilians[00:05:53] The Royal Conservatoire of Scotland[00:05:57] Music Directing at Penn State[00:13:40] The Band's Visit[00:17:36] MTI[00:25:09] Tootsie[00:40:43] Maestra[00:49:02] SuffsFollow AndreaWebsiteWordWavesFollow Beyond the LightsWebsiteFacebookTwitterInstagram
Slang, it's defined as language peculiar to a particular group, composed of arbitrarily changed words and extravagant figures of speech. That sounds about right. It's also a way we define ourselves and our generations. And it can make for a lively conversation. My daughter Sydney, a Gen Z, my wife Sara, a Gen X and I, just barely a Boomer, sat down and talked slang. From C.E.O. and MAIN CHARACTER to GRODY and PHAT. You'll get an education, I sure did.

This week we are dodging curses while we discuss “Fresh Bones”! We're talking how questionable 'Marines, Family, Football' is as a motto, how everyone in this episode is freezing to death, Mulder and Mr. X's steamy car makeout sesh, and Dax Shepard, the Victorian orphan boy who also happens to be an American gravedigger. We blow the conch and unite the crew, scream when a whole-ass man comes out of Scully's hand, and marvel as Mulder, a nine-and-a-half foot tall man successfully sneaks up on someone. And if you're wondering, yes of course we talk about David Boreanaz for some reason. We can't help ourselves.Send us an email at scullynationpod@gmail.com or follow us on Twitter and Instagram!
Husband and Wife cover Numbers chapter 8: Aaron Lights the Lamps / The Cleansing of the Levites; and chapter 9: The Observance of the Passover. We talk about the tragedy of not being allowed to celebrate due to having touched dead people (which, you know, GRODY).

THIS EPISODE: Speaker Nancy Pelosi’s legislation on invoking the 25th Amendment for future presidents, and Donald Trump’s recent behaviors, are analyzed by John Podesta, former counselor to President Barack Obama. Podesta tells Jonathan Capehart, ‘There's no question that Trump's behavior triggered Congress,’ on legislation based on a section of the 25th amendment that, ‘permits Congress to set up an alternative to the Cabinet to review if the president is fit to carry out the duties of the presidency.’ AND: Voter turnout is promoted by married actors and activists Mandy Patinkin and Kathryn Grody in viral videos on how all Americans can help each other increase voting levels in the 2020 elections. Patinkin and Grody discuss this initiative, thelastweekends.org. PLUS: Sen. Mike Lee tweeting, ‘Democracy isn’t the objective,’ has been slammed by many politics experts, including member of The Lincoln Project, Stuart P. Stevens. Stevens tells Jonathan Capehart regarding the GOP, ‘It's just an amazing collapse of a party.’ NEXT: After 13 people including extremist militia members have been arrested in a domestic terrorism plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, QAnon candidates coming to Congress and what many see as threats to our democracy from white supremaciest groups are discussed by Rep. Pramila Jayapal. ADDITIONALLY: Armed militias are believed to be possibly linked to the plot to kidnap Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer. Legitimate militias are legally under the jurisdiction of the president or a governor only, expert Dr. Erroll G. Southers tells Jonathan Capehart. FINALLY: Suspects in the Michigan governor kidnapping plot are compared to ISIS and Al-Qaeda by intelligence expert Naveed Jamali, who tells Jonathan Capehart that he believes authorities need to do more to address domestic terrorist threats.

On this month’s clip show, Ann, Christy, and “try-hard theater kid” Hillary have brought their tap shoes and jazz hands to talk about the long-standing and somewhat problematic relationship TBTL has with musical theater. We’re pissed off at 2008 Luke’s attitude, but proud of how far he’s come since then. Jen’s star turns at Jesus Creek were continually thwarted by the shortcomings of Eric Trout. We listen to Susie and Luke have a sweet, sentimental conversation about Shirley Temple. And the Stu-bot wants to be in the band. Find out which show Christy loved so much that she carried a token of it for years, what unusual strategy Hillary’s World History teacher employed to contain her enthusiasm, and where to find online footage of the first musical Ann ever starred in (kidding - there is ZERO chance I’m giving up that info). Also on tap for discussion: the Christian kids’ theater industry, real talk about the difficulty of bringing diversity to Broadway, and how we make the argument to haters that musicals aren’t just dumb. Plus, Hamilton spoilers, how to best watch Moulin Rouge, the obvious reason straight guys should love musicals, and safety issues when dancing with bowling balls.

Danny Grody and I met up in the Mission District of San Francisco to talk about an epic fail of a show from his days in Tarentel, traveling through Italy. Danny's deep humanity and thoughtfulness have longsince made him someone I love talking to, and I had to pare down the conversation to an manageable hour long episode.

Valley Girl (1983) is the most '80s movie ever made. With the rare female director in place, it turns what was meant to be a teenspolitation flick into a romance for the ages. Mother-daughter movie critics Tara McNamara, of the MTV generation, and Riley Roberts, age 17, look at the movie through the lens of today to identify why Nicolas Cage's first leading role is so awesome, and yet, so, so wrong.

Girl Insta-rupted – Episode #3 – “Vulnerability Hangovers” Part 2 with Sam Grody and Syd Wilder Sam and Syd slayed the bathroom and continue part 2 of Girl Insta-rupted, and things get even deeper. In this episode they discuss eating disorders, the time Sam’s parents told her Santa Claus wasn’t for her, Face Tune, what makes a vagina ugly, milking goats, organizing sex toy closets, vulnerability hangovers, how they both have preference for guys of drastically different ages and much more. DISCLAIMER: None of the guys they discussed on the podcast are still in their lives. Highlights: Sam developed an eating disorder at a very young age. Face tuning photos on Instagram. The time Sam’s college roommate told her she had a meaty vagina. When you’re an artist it’s hard to be in a successful relationship until you’ve reached a certain level of success. Your career always comes first. Building sex toy closets. Be happy for your friend’s successes but remember we’re all different paths. Don’t compare yourself to them. It’s ok to want different things for your life. Steve Martin as Sam’s favorite comic. The Takeaway: Regardless of your age, it’s always ok to be contemplating your place in the world and figuring out your career path, the type of people you like to date, and how you can be of service to others.

After a few weeks off, we're back with another podcast from a talented DC local, Tortoise and the Snare founder Wade Hammes: "It's funny to listen to a mix I create now compared to when I started DJing a year ago and seeing how vast my tastes in music have changed in that short timeframe. Looking through my library, I've gone from a crazy love for 80s synthwave to Dirtybird-esque tracks to heavy tech house/techno to the underground deep house and disco (I Records, Sonic Soul Records, UM Records, etc.). It's been a roller coaster of sounds. Recently, I've started to find my groove with the latter and really think it suits me well. A lot of the influence developing my tastes I have to credit to https://soundcloud.com/crunt, https://soundcloud.com/iamphilco and https://soundcloud.com/ypset. They have been crucial in helping me find my sound the past year, along with being great mentors to my DJing. This mix encapsulates my current tastes to a T. Spacey, loungey deep house that is groovy and not overpowering; something that everyone can appreciate and vibe to at any hour. There is something about a deep, filtered sound that really gets me moving. Don't get me wrong, I still love the other genres and they have their place, but good deep house is king."

'Go' and 'like' for indirect speech Hi and welcome to another great lesson from New English Academy. I'm your host Giles Parker and today we're going to look at one of the most useful grammar points that will make you sound immediately like a native speaker. Amazingly, this grammar point isn’t in any of the conventional grammar textbooks for English learners, which is kind of strange because it will help you speak and understand English so much better if you can use it. If you can find this grammar point in a book for EFL or ESL learners please let me know. So, what am I talking about? Basically, what I’m talking about is another way of saying what someone said WITHOUT having to do all the verb tense changes, pronoun changes, etc that you have to do when you use reported or indirect speech. Oh, no. This new way is so much easier and more efficient because it also allows you to do other things at the same time as introduce reported speech. You can also show what you or the other person was thinking or feeling about what happened. And, it can show your opinion NOW about the situation too, and generally it lets you tell or act out a story so the other person can understand you better. So, what is this fantastic, multi-functional grammar point that is so easy to use? A lot of grammar dictators and old school teachers aren’t going to like this but… Basically, just use go or to be + like to introduce the direct speech instead of a reporting verb. And that amazing little grammar point is what we’re going to talk about in this podcast. I'll post a free interactive grammar lesson for you to practice this on the website at www.newenglishacademy.com. And, if you have any ideas or requests for things you want to learn just send me an email and I'll make a podcast and an interactive lesson for you. One of the many things we want to do in a foreign language is to tell someone about the past. Often, we want to tell a story about something that happened and we want to include what other people thought or said. I talked about how to do this in last week's podcast which looked at reported or indirect speech. And, you know, using reported or indirect speech isn't such an easy thing to do. Can you remember the rules to do it? There are a lot of things you have to change in reported or indirect speech. When you say what someone else said, you have to change the verb tenses because the time has changed, and you have to change the pronouns because obviously the speaker is different. And you have to change the here-and-now-type words too again because the speaker and the time and the place is different. But...you don't have to make verb tense changes if what you are speaking about is recent and hasn't changed since. Lastly, you have to introduce what was said with a reporting verb like say, or tell. Do you remember all this? Phew! That is a lot to remember or figure out every time you want to tell someone what someone else said, which is why I put it on the website as an advanced course. But, I was thinking - do we always do it this way? Is there another, easier way to report speech? Then it hit me! Of course - a lot of people don't worry so much about making all these changes nowadays. There is an easier way to speak English like a native without getting confused by verb changes, reporting verbs and pronouns, etc. In fact, two different ways but they share the same rules and they make everything so much easier. You can use go or to be like as ways of introducing someone else's speech. Take a look at this example from Frank Zappa's 1982 classic 'Valley Girl' which exaggerates how girls from a part of California talk. Don't worry about all the examples of like just focus on the one that introduces speech. Also look for the example of go to introduce speech. So like I go into this like salon place, you know? And I wanted like to get my toenails done And the lady like goes., oh my God, your toenails Are like so GRODY It was like really embarrassing She's like OH MY GOD, like BAG THOSE TOENAILS I'm like sure... She goes, uh, I don't know if I can handle this, you know? I was like really embarrassed... Did you see where the speech is introduced by goes and by go? Did you also see how the verb tenses and pronouns don't change at all? No changes – just say exactly what the other person said! That's what makes using go and like so easy and useful. Here are a couple more examples: She said, "Do you want to go out clubbing this weekend?" And he's like "Do I ever!" Or: My boss got angry because I was late and I'm like, "Whatever". He goes, "Why don't you phone and let us know you're going to be late?" And I’m like, “Whateverâ€. Or: She said, "Do you want to want come out tomorrow?" And I'm like, "That would be cool. What do you want to do?" And she goes, "We could go to the beach?" So why are they so useful? Well, go and like do a lot of things all at the same time. First, they introduce what someone says, just like other reporting verbs. But they also introduce what the speaker THINKS or FEELS about the situation too. This means that the person might not actually have said it, but she felt or thought it then instead. They also make the report about what happened so much more dramatic, more NOW and less a thing that happened in the past. The story becomes something that involves the speaker and the listener now which makes it more powerful.  Often go and like also introduce some kind of body language or gestures and other signs of what the speaker feels or felt about the story. It is almost like the speaker is acting the story for us and this might make the story more appealing and perhaps easier to understand - which I guess is the standard for good communication. Go and like are really easy to use. Just make sure the subject lines up with go or the to be verb. So for example, if you want to say what a guy said, you say He goes.... or He's like... and then you say what he said, or thought or felt. You don't even have to change the tense of go or the to be verb, really, but you can if you want. I mean, you can say He was like.... when you're talking about the past or, She's going to be like... when you report what someone might say in the future. But I don't think that is a hard and fast rule. Most people just use the present simple, He's like... Best of all, you don't have to change any tenses, or pronouns or here-and-now-type words in the reported speech phrase which makes go and to be + like so much easier than normal reported speech. This is all because we want to keep the story right here between us now, NOT distant and staying in the past.  There is a small problem with using go and like to report speech in that older, perhaps 'higher-class' speakers of English might judge people who use them as lazy or uneducated and as people who can't use or speak the language correctly. However, you shouldn't let that worry you. I think it is a different way of looking at how people talk about things that happened. I think it is kind of exciting that we can make the past closer to us when we use these simple verbs and furthermore that we are seeing a change in English language that is taking place right now. Now, why don't grammar text books for EFL and ESL learners teach it?Â
