Hollywood's Kelsey Grammer explains how his sister's brutal murder informed his iconic performances and offers wisdom on carrying life's heaviest losses.Jordan's must reads (including books from this episode): AcceleratEdFull show notes and resources can be found here: jordanharbinger.com/1157What We Discuss with Kelsey Grammer:Kelsey Grammer's sister Karen was abducted, raped, and murdered in 1975, a trauma that has shaped his entire life. He debunks the myth that time heals all wounds, revealing instead that grief becomes an imprint you learn to carry.The depth of Kelsey's life experiences gave his acting an "authority" that connected with audiences. His familiarity with tragedy provided emotional access that made characters like Frazier Crane authentically human.Despite decades as a household name, Kelsey only internalized his success "about two or three years ago" when someone called him a legend and he finally allowed himself to believe it.Kelsey candidly discusses his battles with addiction, particularly cocaine, reflecting on a friend's insight that "the cause of addiction is unresolved grief."Kelsey's memoir helped him rediscover his sister beyond her tragic end: "To remember somebody in the grace of the good that they left you is more important than the grief." A powerful reminder to honor both the loss and the joy of those we've loved.And much more...And if you're still game to support us, please leave a review here — even one sentence helps!

Do you know female police? She smashes stereotypes. In a gripping special episode of her appearance on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast, seasoned police officer Autumn Clifford pulls back the curtain on what Hollywood gets wrong about law enforcement and especially about women in the force. Known for her straight-shooting style and no-fluff advice, Autumn isn't just a cop, she's also a coach, podcast host, and powerful voice challenging outdated narratives about female officers. The Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast episode is available for free on their website, Apple Podcasts, Spotify and most major podcast platforms. “She smashes stereotypes every time she puts on the badge,” says a fan on Facebook. And it's true, Autumn's story proves that real-life police work, especially from the perspective of a woman, is far more complex and courageous than what Hollywood often shows. It is also promoted across their Facebook , Instagram , LinkedIn , Medium and other platforms. In this special episode of the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast , Autumn recounts one of the most intense moments of her early police career: a domestic violence call that turned into a standoff with an armed suspect holding his partner hostage. While action movies might glamorize this as a gun-blazing, adrenaline-fueled rescue, Autumn explains the reality. Do you know female police? She smashes stereotypes. Look for supporting stories about this and much more from Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and Podcast in platforms like Medium , Blogspot and Linkedin . “It wasn't about kicking in doors or pulling a trigger,” she says. “It was about using my voice, my presence, and my training to deescalate. We talked him down. We saved lives that day. That's the part you don't see in the movies.” The episode dives deep into the gritty truth of police work and reveals how television and film often reduce female cops to one-dimensional roles: either hyper-sexualized, overly emotional, or placed in administrative tasks rather than on the frontlines. Available for free on their website and streaming on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other podcast platforms. “You know what's wild?” Autumn asks. “Just type ‘Female Police Officer Stereotypes' into any AI tool and you'll see the same tired nonsense. That we're too weak, too emotional, not respected enough to lead. That stuff is still circulating. And it's false.” Do you know female police? She smashes stereotypes. As Autumn tells it, these stereotypes aren't just insulting, they're harmful. They can impact hiring, promotions, and the way the public and fellow officers perceive female professionals. But she's not here to complain, she's here to change the conversation. “Do you know how many women applied to become officers because of Angie Dickinson in Police Woman?” she points out. “Representation matters. Back then, she was the first to lead a successful police drama. Today, we need more real stories out there. Not just fiction.” You can listen to his stories and interview on our website for free in addition to platforms like Apple Podcasts and Spotify, and other major podcast platforms. She draws inspiration from characters like Clarice Starling in The Silence of the Lambs and Marge Gunderson from Fargo, women who were smart, tough, and quietly powerful. “When I ran the obstacle course, I pictured Jodie Foster's Clarice running beside me,” Autumn laughs. “That's how much that mattered.” Autumn's message reaches beyond the badge. Through her coaching podcast and her website AutumnClifford.com, she guides people to become the best versions of themselves. Her no-nonsense style resonates with those looking to break through barriers in their own lives. Do you know female police? She smashes stereotypes. “If you're stuck, if you're burnt out, if you feel like no one understands, you're not alone,” she says. “I've been there. My podcast isn't just stories. It's strategy. It's support. It's soul.” Follow the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Medium and most all social media platforms. In her first podcast episode, Autumn shared her frustrations with law enforcement culture and how a back injury forced her to redefine her purpose. That journey became the foundation for her coaching work. Now, she brings on world-class guests, shares raw insights, and offers tools for transformation. “She's not just talking to cops,” says one listener. “She's talking to anyone who feels like they've been underestimated.” Do you know female police? She smashes stereotypes. So the next time you watch a cop drama or a crime thriller, ask yourself, Do you know what really happens out there? Do you know what these women are capable of? Do you know female police? She smashes stereotypes. The interview is available as a free podcast on the Law Enforcement Talk Radio Show and podcast website, also available on platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and most major podcast outlets.

Behind the mask of Batman was a man who fought his greatest battle not against the Joker or Riddler, but against the crushing weight of an iconic role that threatened to define—and destroy—his entire career.Adam West's journey from farm-raised boy in Walla Walla, Washington to cultural phenomenon is a masterclass in resilience. While most remember him delivering deadpan lines in a blue and gray costume, few realize the profound struggles he faced after Batman was canceled in 1968. For nearly a decade, West wandered through Hollywood's wilderness—typecast, overlooked, and often broke—taking whatever work would pay the bills while directors couldn't see beyond the cape.What makes West's story truly remarkable wasn't just his meteoric rise or painful fall, but his eventual renaissance. Rather than resenting the caped crusader who both made and broke him, West gradually embraced his Batman legacy with self-deprecating humor and grace. By the time a new generation discovered him as the hilariously unhinged Mayor West on Family Guy, he had completed one of the greatest character rehabilitations in Hollywood history.This episode pulls back the curtain on the man behind the mask—from his early radio days to his wild Batman-era escapades (including getting kicked out of Hollywood orgies with the Riddler!) to finding peace as a devoted family man and voice acting legend. West's story reminds us that sometimes our greatest obstacles become our greatest gifts when viewed through the lens of time and perspective.If you've ever felt pigeonholed, overlooked, or defined by one chapter of your life, Adam West's remarkable journey will show you it's never too late to reclaim your narrative with humor, resilience, and joy.Send us a message!Support the showDeath in Entertainment is hosted by Kyle Ploof and Ben Kissel.New episodes every week!https://linktr.ee/deathinentertainment

In Episode 117 of Badlands Story Hour, Chris Paul and Burning Bright unpack The Apprentice, the 2024 film dramatizing Donald Trump's early years under the mentorship of Roy Cohn. The hosts analyze the movie's intent and narrative schizophrenia, how it veers from a surprisingly nuanced portrayal of Trump's ambition to a late-stage character assassination filled with unsubstantiated allegations. They explore the film's core theme: Trump as a Frankenstein's monster molded by the dark political arts of Roy Cohn, and they discuss whether Hollywood inadvertently humanized Trump in the process. Roy Cohn's infamous three rules, never apologize, hit back ten times harder, and never admit you're wrong, serve as a springboard for a broader conversation on morality, lawfare, and narrative warfare. Chris and Burning tackle topics like the ethics of blackmail, the psychological purpose of shame, and Trump's mastery of narrative manipulation as a counterspell to the media matrix. With cultural, spiritual, and geopolitical insights layered throughout, this is a razor-sharp dissection of how fiction attempts to frame truth, and how Donald Trump remains an enigma even in Hollywood's hands.

Lisa returns with her sequel to the first novel (Slanted and Disenchanted) with a character-driven story called Welcome to Hollywood. It's a novel of two 20-somethings in 2004 Hollywood, battling with high rents, unsatisfying jobs, and a deep attraction to one another - problem is, they haven't figured out how to communicate who they are, what they want, and who they are each individually becoming. They're still a band though, even if they stopped practicing, and music has a way of making connections. … Continue...Episode 216 – Somewhere in Lisa Czarina Michaud's Hollywood

Wait until you hear her say Tuesday!Hollywood superstar, Angela Basett joined Dave for a chat to celebrate the release of Mission Impossible:The Final Reckoning.

Adam kicks off the show by reminiscing about his co-starring role in Wreck-It Ralph and the surprising reaction it still gets from fans. He then unveils yet another classic Al Pacino scene, this time with Jay Mohr putting his own spin on the character—proving once again that Pacino impressions never get old. From there, Adam riffs on coaster weight, the gnarly side effects of Niacin, Biden's cancer diagnosis, the sheer brilliance of pit crews, and the fine line between first and last place—not just in racing, but in life. Next, Jay Chandrasekhar joins the show and dives into:The universal boyhood obsession with foot speed (because being the fastest kid on the playground is basically royalty).His journey through comedy as an Indian kid in grade school, dealing with stereotypes and British influence over India.The decision to cast himself in movies and TV shows instead of waiting for Hollywood (considering the only Indian "stars" he saw were Fisher Stevens and Peter Sellers in brownface).The hilariously awkward story of wearing his wife's underpants (sometimes you just gotta improvise).Why comedy films should be communal experiences—because laughing alone just isn't the same.Jay and Adam also break down the realities of directing low-budget movies vs. TV shows, and Jay introduces his new app, VouchVault, which he swears will revolutionize review sites and help him finally get revenge on Rotten Tomatoes. They wrap up their chat by agreeing that seeing Phish live is overrated, and Jay shares his comedic influences: John Landis, Eddie Murphy, and Richard Pryor.

J. D. 'Okhai Ojeikere, who was known as Nigeria's top photographer, started documenting women's hairstyles in 1968. He built up a portfolio of around 2,000 negatives revealing the elaborate ways African women styled their hair through his series of black and white photos. A selection of his 'Hairstyles' prints was displayed at the Venice Biennale in 2013. Reena Stanton-Sharma speaks to his son Amaize Ojeikere, also a photographer, about his father's work.

You may know her as Jocelyn in The Sex Lives of College Girls, from the award-nominated Give Me Liberty, or the heart-wrenchingly funny Bob Trevino Likes It.

We talk about representation, imposter syndrome, and the rom-com she's writing to shift narratives.

Its a Hollywood break.

In this episode of the Meet the Mentor Series®, Dr. Bill Dorfman sits down with actor, writer, and producer Ryan Powers, whose journey from small-town Massachusetts to the film sets of Los Angeles is filled with grit, creativity, and resourcefulness. Ryan shares how a love for theater led him from the University of Miami to singing and dancing aboard cruise ships—and ultimately to the film industry. Along the way, he met his husband, Jason, and saved enough to take a chance on moving to LA. Ryan opens up about the challenges of breaking into Hollywood and why waiting for opportunities wasn't an option. Instead, he chose to create his own—writing and producing short films like Broken Heart, which gained traction at festivals. His work on titles like Sidney vs. Shawn and Disney's She-Hulk reflect a career shaped by collaboration and self-driven momentum. He also shares a glimpse into his next project, a psychological horror film rooted in his hometown. Dr. Bill also gives an exciting update on the LEAP program at Pepperdine University in 2025 from July 13th to 19th. Ryan, a passionate mentor, talks about the importance of programs like LEAP and his continued involvement beyond the summer through their “Meet the Mentor” series.

Escaping the underworld may not sound like a marketing strategy until you look at how Hades turned it into a blueprint for success.Developed by indie studio Supergiant Games, Hades isn't just a video game, it's a critically acclaimed masterpiece thanks to its iterative development, rich storytelling, and a fanbase that helped shape the game in real time. In this episode, we dive into the lessons marketers can learn from this roguelike phenomenon with special guest Zoe Hawkins, Director, Content Marketing & Integrated Campaign Strategy at Sumo Logic.Together, we explore what B2B marketers can learn from fearless experimentation, community co-creation, and crafting content your audience can't help but share.About our guest, Zoe HawkinsZoe Hawkins is a former video game and tech journalist turned content marketer. She has over a decade of professional experience turning technical understanding into fluent communication. Working with a range of B2B tech companies, Zoe has helped create value across marketing and strategy. She also serves as co-lead for Sumo Logic's sustainability-focused ERG, the Planeteers. When not working, Zoe is usually absorbed in speculative fiction – video games, books, or streaming media. She's a mom to two cats and a grade-school-aged daughter, living with her husband in perpetually sunny Arizona.What B2B Companies Can Learn From Hades:Experimentation is the only way forward. In Hades, dying isn't a setback; it's part of the process. Zoe says, “You keep experimenting and you're gonna fail. And that's okay... Each time you learn and you grow and you do it better.” For marketers, it's a reminder that campaigns don't need to be perfect out of the gate. Failure isn't fatal. Failure is how you find what works.Build content with your community, not just for them. Supergiant launched Hades in early access, inviting players to shape the game as it evolved. Zoe explains, “They give feedback. It's almost like a co-design, co-development process with your fans.” B2B marketers can do the same by involving their audience early, whether through feedback loops, pilots, or beta content. Let your audience help build what they want. It not only strengthens relationships, but it also keeps them excited about what's coming next.Create content that people want to share. Hades isn't just a game people play, it's one they rave about. Zoe asks, “How do you make it that people are actually happy to use your product and excited to use it… not just customer loyalty, but advocacy? They wanna tell other people, ‘you will not believe how cool this thing is'.” That's exactly what Hades achieves through intentional design, standout storytelling, and undeniable personality. Marketers should aim for the same. Treat your content the way Hades treats gameplay, and your audience won't just consume it, they'll spread it.Quotes*“ You keep experimenting, and you're gonna fail. And that's okay. If I think about it, you come into a new team or you come into a new product launch or you come into a new organization, whatever it might be. And you think you know how to play the game, you think you know what it takes to succeed, to beat the boss, whatever that is. And you do the run according to the way that you've done it, maybe in other roles or other companies, and you die, you fail. It doesn't necessarily go a hundred percent to plan, and that's okay. And then you get to restart with a new weapon, a new strategy, a new approach, whatever that might be, and pull it back together. Bring it back in to say, ‘okay, let's, let's try it again. Let's run it again and see if we're successful this time.' And that just feels so liberating and then each time you learn and you grow and you do it better.”*“ I love the idea that they only make one game at a time, that they're so focused, and it comes through in the work. It's so polished, it's so well made, and clearly made with love, that transfers to me. And I think if we tie it back to that B2B marketing, I think about working in tech, working in SaaS, how do you give that moment of delight where it's not just like, ‘oh my gosh, your company saved me this amount of money or whatever, or this tool is worthwhile for me.' But how do you make it that people are actually happy to use your product and excited to use it, or have that sense of not just customer loyalty, but advocacy. They wanna tell other people, ‘you will not believe how cool this thing is.'”*“ One of my favorite kinds of content to make is case studies because we get to make our customer shine and tell their story… I know our story backwards and forward. What's your story? Why are you winning with this? Why are you succeeding with this? And being able to tell something cool that they figured out, a way they're using our product that we didn't even think about that's interesting or cool.”*“ Not being afraid to experiment, not being afraid to fail, I think, is such an important marketing lesson, because you're gonna have some risks that are gonna be great, and you're gonna take some risks that are gonna just completely flop. And that's okay. That's how we learn. That's how we try new things.”Time Stamps[0:55] Meet Zoe Hawkins, Director, Content Marketing & Integrated Campaign Strategy at Sumo Logic[02:20] Why Hades?[03:08] The Role of Director of Content Marketing and Integrated Campaigns at Sumo Logic[03:54] Origins of Hades[15:29] B2B Marketing Lessons from Hades[44:32] Importance of Humor in Branding and Content Strategy[49:47] Versatility of Video Content[54:11] Final Thoughts and TakeawaysLinksConnect with Zoe on LinkedInLearn more about Sumo LogicAbout Remarkable!Remarkable! is created by the team at Caspian Studios, the premier B2B Podcast-as-a-Service company.
