We couldn't be more excited to have you meet and get to know Alix Strauss, New York Times columnist and featured lifestyle, travel and trend writer. Her work has appeared in numerous publications, including: The Financial Times, Entertainment Weekly, Conde Nast Traveler, Time Magazine. She's also an award-winning author. Perhaps you've read "The Joy of Funerals," "Death Becomes Them: Unearthing the Suicides of the Brilliant, The Famous and The Notorious," and "Based Upon Availability." Alix is also the editor of "Have I Got a Guy for You," an anthology of mom-initiated dating horror stories. She shares that and so much more in this irreverent, funny, honest conversation.
The stories collected in the newly published Have I Got a Story for You—discovered after many hours of combing through Der Forverts' archives—represent a departure from classic Yiddish literature and a new form of Yiddish mass media that would take the Jewish immigrant community by storm. Ezra Glinter, editor of the collection (a 2016 National Jewish Book Award Finalist), joins us to speak about the stories and what they mean not only for contemporary audiences, but what they meant for the writers who made their living doing what they loved, in a period when many Jews on the Lower East Side were working in factories and sweatshops.

TEGNEFILMPODCASTEN lægger op til den sidste film i Christopher Nolans Batman-trilogi, The Dark Knight Rises der har dansk premiere d. 20. juli. Jeg har set nærmere på antologitegnefilmen Batman — Gotham Knight, der er animeret af primært japanske animationsstudier. Overordnet set er den produceret af Warner Bros. og med Emma Thomas — Christopher Nolans kone — som executive producer. Måske netop derfor matcher de seks korte tegnefilms storyline og mood så fint med Nolans Batman-film — de danner faktisk bro mellem Batman Begins (2005) og The Dark Knight (2008). Det er ikke alle seks Batman-kortfilm der står sig lige godt, men ideen med at lave en fusion mellem japansk anime og Batman-universet er til gengæld rigtig god. Den lykkes bedst i Shojiro Nishimis "Have I Got a Story For You" (fra Studio 4°C) og Yasuhiro Aokis "In Darkness Dwells" (fra Madhouse). TEGNEFILMPODCASTEN episode 28 byder derfor på følgende segmenter: 00:00 Intro + tak til Karsten Nielsen fra Gaga the Movies og Jan for at skrive søde ting om TEGNEFILMPODCASTEN 06:41 Karakteristik af Batman + anmeldelse af Batman — Gotham Knight 12:11 "Have I Got a Story For You" (manus. Josh Olson, inst. Shojiro Nishimi) 20:34 "In Darkness Dwells" (manus. David Goyer, inst. Yasuhiro Aoki) 27:20 Ekstramateriale på blu-rayen 31:15 Outro + næste episode //Tegnefilm som du aldrig har hørt dem før
Gregory Jbara traces his stage career from his first grade appearance as the title role in "Frosty the Snowman" all the way to his Tony Award-winning turn in the current Broadway musical "Billy Elliot". Along the way, he discusses a college career that began at the University of Michigan and wrapped up at the Juilliard School; his first significant role as The Monster in the campy "Have I Got a Girl For You (The Frankenstein Musical)"; chronicles the sudden acclaim (off-Broadway) and quick demise (on Broadway) of Caryl Churchill's "Serious Money"; his various appearances in "Forever Plaid" around the country -- and how he made more doing it in Washington DC than the original cast made in the New York company; what it was like to work with show business icons like Jerry Lewis (in "Damn Yankees") and Julie Andrews (in "Victor/Victoria"); how his role of André, and the songs, in "Dirty Rotten Scoundrels" were shaped as the show was being developed; and what's its like to play opposite a different actor as Billy every single night in "Billy Elliot" -- often not knowing who he'll be on with until moments before the curtain rises. Original air date - August 3, 2009.
