Send us a textHave you ever wondered if you recognize that stunning condo or picturesque community you see in a movie or TV? Take It To The Board host Donna DiMaggio Berger and Christina Labuzetta, owner of Location Resources and member of the Location Managers Guild International, pull back the curtain on the fascinating world of location scouting for private residences and communities.  For association boards and homeowners contemplating this unique revenue opportunity, Donna and Christina walk through the entire process: from initial scouting photos to contracts, logistics, and the potential earnings. They address common concerns about property protection, revealing how professional crews use protective materials and detailed documentation to ensure everything returns to its original state—their goal being to make it look "like we were never there."From CSI Miami to Vogue Magazine and sourcing locations for Martin Scorsese's "The Irishman," Christina shares insider knowledge about what makes properties stand out to production companies. The perfect filming location isn't always about luxury or grandeur—sometimes it's the mid-century modern charm of a modest apartment complex like the one featured in "Dexter" that captures a filmmaker's imagination.Beyond the financial incentives, there's the undeniable prestige that comes with seeing your property featured in popular media. As Christina notes, it becomes "the cocktail party factor"—something residents can point to with pride and interest for years to come.Whether you're a board member or manager looking for alternative revenue sources for your community, a property owner curious about monetizing your space, or you are simply fascinated by film production, this episode offers valuable insights into what happens when Hollywood comes knocking.  Conversation Highlights Include:Types of productions that typically use private residences and buildings-you'd be surprised how many are out thereWhat features or amenities make a property stand out to location scouts?

In this episode of "Normal World," Dave Landau, 1/4 Black Garrett, and Angela cover Chip Caray's accidental slur and even worse apology, Diddy's legal team scrambling for anyone willing to defend him, and the White House debating whether to drop bombs or Dry Bar Comedy on Iran. They also react to the Liver King threatening Joe Rogan in a series of increasingly unstable videos that led to his arrest and raise serious questions about what's actually going on with him. From there, the conversation turns to JFK conspiracy theories, Operation Mongoose, and the Irishman connection. They share stories of chaotic childhoods, crashes, curb hits, and what it was like growing up in cars full of ashtrays and fast-food wrappers. The crew also covers New York's new socialist mayoral candidate, creepy behavior in subway stations, Detroit's fireworks tradition being interrupted again by gunfire, and the slow death of comedy on screen. Today's guests on "Normal World" are Derek Richards and Mike Landau. Sponsors Blue Chew Join BlueChew's mission to upgrade humanity one thrust at a time.

On this week's episode, Mike, Craig and Dan reflect on another turbulent week for Brentford fans, starting with reports that Keith Andrews is set to succeed Thomas Frank as Brentford manager. The Irishman was part of Frank's backroom staff last season serving as set piece coach, but has no experience as a first team coach at any level. We chat about the appointment, Phil Giles and Matthew Benham, and how Andrews could shape our summer transfer window. That news was quickly followed by club captain Christian Norgaard being poached by Mikel Arteta's Arsenal. Norgaard has been at the club since 2019, and was an integral member of the squad that took us from the Championship to the Premier League. We discuss what his departure means for Brentford.

Robert was born in Coney Island, Brooklyn New York. He began his professional acting career in 2000 on the HBO hit show THE SOPRANOS where he played Eugene Pontecorvo. He appeared on the Sopranos for 3 Seasons and it culminated in his breakout performance in "Members Only" in which won an Emmy Award for Best Dramatic Episode in 2006. New York native Funaro is known worldwide for portraying mobster Eugene Pontecorvo in HBO's critically acclaimed series The Sopranos and several other familiar characters from television shows and movies (The Irishman, American Gangster, Ray Donovan, Law & Order, etc.) However, behind the wiseguy we see on screen is the boy from Coney Island-friend, family man, director, and chef! He's guest starred in many Law & Order episodes, "The Sinner" with Jessica Biel as her father in law Ron Tannetti. Martin Scorcese's "Vinyl" and a regular on Ray Donovan. His films include, American Gangster-Not Fade Away-The Irishman and multiple independent films-such as Charlie Mantle and Critical Acclaim. Homemade 8 Soprano Stories and 8 Homemade Recipes is his first attempt at writing a book about his life on THE SOPRANOS and also carrying on the legacy of his Mama Anna Funaro's great families cooking ideas. Including his Dad-Vincent, Sister Anne, and Linda. He is always forever thankful to God and his family for their love and support. In this tasteful narrative, Robert talks about his long-time friendship with James Gandolfini (Tony Soprano) and how James helped him become a cast member of The Sopranos. Highlighting 8 of his favorite episodes featuring Eugene, Robert gives us a behind-the-scenes look into the greatest television show in history with entertaining personal stories and interactions with fellow actors. To top it off, Robert shares his favorite signature recipes. He passionately believes food brings everyone together–and there is no better place for a man to feel fulfilled than in the comfort of his kitchen! So, turn up the stove, tie on the apron, and get ready to Cucinare and Mangia!!

We're going back 40 years to one of the most iconic nights in Irish sporting history. On June 8, 1985, at Loftus Road in London, Barry McGuigan became WBA featherweight champion of the world, defeating Eusebio Pedroza in front of a roaring, emotionally charged crowd. It wasn't just a boxing match — it was a moment that transcended sport. An Irishman from Clones, cheered on by Catholics and Protestants alike, in the middle of the Troubles. Today, Barry joins us on The Rocky Road to relive that unforgettable night. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Deremy Dove and Thomas Sena (Pop Culture Five Podcast) join for the final Martin Scorsese themed movie focus special.   This week, it's the Corruption Themed Trilogy: WOLF OF WALL STREET, THE IRISHMAN & KILLERS OF THE FLOWER MOON!     TOPICS DISCUSSED: *Why are these well-intended misfires somewhat dull & rather inaccurate? *Why does Wolf of Wall Street feel as divisive as Scarface? *Why were some of the actors in The Irishman unfairly thrown under the bus for playing underveloped characters? *Why did Scorsese get too derivative of his own style here? *And a neat clip at the end of a Scorsese 2019 BBC1 Radio Interview where he discussed the on-going arguments about running time and movie lengths.      

Sometimes comics start down unusual career paths (at least for a comic). How about accountancy? Bob Newhart famously plied that trade early in life. And today's Legend -- Ray Romano -- figured out his comedy path after studying accountancy in college. We suspect that Ray can hire out for an accountant these days after a career that includes a wildly successful sitcom, juicy voice acting roles, frequent guest spots on television (sometimes in dramatic roles), and a little professional poker tossed in the mix. Ray's family friendly brand of humor has gone down well with audiences since he first emerged in the late 1980s. Everybody Loves Raymond debuted in 1996 and launched him to the next level, along with wining him three Emmy awards over nine seasons. Most recently Ray has started taking dramatic roles as in Martin Scorsese's "The Irishman" and he continues to be a popular draw on the standup stage. As always find extended cuts below and thanks for sharing our shows! Want more Ray? The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson was legendary for the comics it featured early in their careers. Here's Ray from his first Tonight Show appearance in 1991. https://youtu.be/1VcdnqH0PJc?si=wuX4NQ1GyzRopK6h Everybody Loves Raymond was a smash focusing on the day-to-day live of a large Italian family. Here are some highlights. https://youtu.be/r6uuxO-sHT0?si=JuYxQDhW_M-kP5FD Ray is a key part of the Ice Age animated movie franchise playing Manny the Wooly Mammoth with just the right amount of sarcasm and grumpiness! https://youtu.be/mVkDXaeqkHA?si=4_YmPEmIuJ_3M1Hg

Tom Fleischman: Cinema, Scorsese & the Art of the MixIn this immersive episode, Steve Otis Gunn chats with Oscar-winning re-recording mixer Tom Fleischman to uncover the nuanced, behind-the-scenes craft of cinematic sound. With decades of experience, Tom offers a rare glimpse into the audio side of filmmaking, where emotion is built not just through visuals, but through every carefully chosen sound.From his early days splicing tape by ear to mixing iconic films like Goodfellas, School of Rock, and The Irishman, Tom shares personal stories and surprising insights from his legendary collaborations, especially with Martin Scorsese. The conversation spans the evolution of sound editing, the intuition behind great mixes, and why sometimes the hardest thing to get right is a single vowel.Highlights include:The challenges and creativity behind mixing films such as Hugo and Gangs of New YorkWhat a re-recording mixer actually does—and why it's more grit than glamourThe mystery and magic of cataloguing forgotten sound effectsBehind-the-scenes tales from awards season, including rejection and red carpet dramaThe art of “invisible” mixing and why audio is the ultimate cinematic illusionPacked with anecdotes—like Daniel Day-Lewis bringing intensity and precision even to his ADR sessions, and Jack Nicholson's Oscar-night wisdom—this episode is a must-listen for filmmakers, sound enthusiasts, or anyone curious about how the soul of a film is often found in what we hear.

For Ireland's Mark Geary, America was everything. He moved to New York in the 1990s and cut his teeth in the music business alongside legendary artists like Jeff Buckley. Thirty years later, his songs continue to paint pictures of the modern Irish experience, especially as it relates to America. Geary sat down with Roots Music Rambler before his May headline show at The Monarch Music Community in Louisville, Ky., to talk about his latest album, In the Time of Locusts, songwriting, developing his sound and style and much more.  Geary is on the sonaBlast Records label, which is based in Louisville, but has a roster of independent singers, songwriters and bands from around the world.

A couple of weeks ago Dave Hannigan joined me to share the fascinating story of how a Kerry man called Butty Sugrue managed to convince the one and only Muhammad Ali to come to Ireland and fight Alvin Lewis in Croke Park. It's a fantastic yarn and if you didn't hear it, I'd strongly recommend doing so.But Dave has lived in the US for over 25 years and so I couldn't let him go without getting his thoughts on what its like to be an Irish man living in Long Island, which is true Trump territory, and all that comes with it. Dave and I go deep on politics, media, the 'flooding of the zone', and even the fall of the Roman empire!The Mario Rosenstock Podcast is produced by Patrick Haughey, AudioBrand

Irish Sailor Tom Dolan from Co. Meath has carved a most unexpected career for himself on the high seas.  Winner of the 2024 Solitaire du Figaro Paprec, Tom sailed himself into the history books as the first Irish sailor and only the third non-French competitor to win this prestigious race in its fifty five year history, cementing his position and reputation as a world class sailor. He subsequently was awarded Irish Sailor of the year in February of this year for the second time.  An unlikely career for a man who grew up on a farm in Co. Meath where Gaelic Football was the sport of choice and sailing was something he watched on TV dreaming of one day sailing the high seas. But dreams do come true and for Tom, although it was an unconventional career path and to say the least a hard graft learning all the skills, insights and intricacies of sailing he earned his stripes from the ground up.  Relentless in his pursuit of excellence, his grit, determination and resilience to embrace his passion for sailing saw him follow his heart and love of the sport to France over a decade ago. Immersing himself in one of the world's most competitive sailing environments it provide the perfect playground for Tom to flourish, hone his craft and gain vast experience to become one of the best off-shore sailors in the world.  Known as 'The Flying Irishman,' Tom's journey has been anything but smooth sailing. In this episode, he shares the highs and lows of his career, offering insight into the technical and mental demands of elite level racing, the toll of sleep deprivation and hallucinations at sea, and the vital role of a strong support team. His story is not just one of overcoming odds, but of staying true to a passion, trusting the process and proving that with commitment and belief, even the wildest dreams can become reality. 

An Irishman named Stef visited Austin recently. We met for a discussion about the revaluation of values, strange brain experiments with magnets, Gnosticism and its relation to the politics of castration, the brain's threat detection matrix as creating the "hard times strong men" cycle, the possibility of neuro-physiological centrism, and how this all relates to Dionysus v/s the Crucified.

Moore had a great passion for single malt whisky and his adopted home in Virginia. A native Irishman, George came to the U.S. in the 1970's to seek new opportunities. In 2011, after many years of building successful businesses in both the U.S. and Ireland, George finally had the chance to combine his two passions when he started Virginia Distillery Company. Today, George's wife, Angela Moore and their son, Gareth Moore, along with his wife, Maggie Moore, have taken the helm to continue building George's dream.“Have the courage of your convictions,” was a saying George often repeated to friends and family. His credo became our core principle and the name of our newest American Single Malt whisky line, Courage & Conviction.From the impeccable quality of the ingredients we source, to the years spent perfecting our maturation process, we make whisky the right way – our way – never sacrificing the best for the easier, safer path.At Virginia Distillery Company, we carry George's legacy forward by reinventing American Single Malt whisky. Every barrel is a culmination of the world's finest distilling, aged to perfection in the ideal climate of Virginia's Blue Ridge Mountains. While inspired by time-honored traditions, we forge traditions of our own- making whisky more than what has been, while remaining true to ourselves and our home.The result: a whisky that George would've been proud of.Our ProcessStep 01The barley is harvested and malted in the Midwest and shipped to Virginia, where it is stored in two 36-ton malt bins on site at Virginia Distillery Company. The malt is transferred from the bins to the 1920's Boby Mill to be milled.Step 02The Boby Mill, one of a handful in the U.S. splits the grain into three parts and produces the grist, which is combined with water at varying temperatures to start the production of whisky. Yeast is added, producing “wash”, which is similar to an unhopped beer of approximately 8 % alcohol by volume.Step 03The wash gets transferred to the first of two copper pot stills to begin distillation. Copper is used because of its ability to conduct heat and remove sulphur-based compounds. These compounds can lead to the whisky having an off-flavor so copper is critical in producing a quality spirit.Step 04The copper pot stills at Virginia Distillery Company come from Scotland and were handmade by a specialty fabricator. The shape and height of the still influence the flavors produced in the spirit. The longer the neck, the more refined the spirit.Step 05After distillation, the liquid moves through the spirit safe, which allows the distiller to make appropriate cuts between heads, hearts and tails. Ours was created in Scotland in the style of a traditional spirit safe. Step 06After making its way through the distillation process, the finished spirit is casked and stored in our cask houses for aging. Virginia's hot summers and cool winters allow our spirit to age at a rate faster than our counterparts in Scotland. Our main cask houses hold up to 5,000 casks each.

We're back after a little hiatus for a bit of healing with the passing of Bill Saifer. After taking a few moments to remember those we've lost we get into the society we're in now. We look at the world of social media before we find an Irishman who gives all a good laugh. We had to look into the great moment for all women with the Blue Origin Flight. Then get into the Q scores of some celebrities who seem to be dropping. We get into the world of wrestling with Wrestlemania around the corner. Then we dive into the fun of spring break with kids. Because adulting is a joy. Until next week, be safe out there folks.

 “The Boy From Dublin” by twenty-three year old Canadian writer, Bronwyn Brennan is available now! Brennan's “The Boy From Dublin” follows Finn O'Byrne's story of resilience, family and eternal optimism.  Following his immigration to working-class London in the mid-1950s, Finn spent his life running from his past.   An Irishman navigating working class London, determined to reclaim everything that has been stolen from him—no matter the cost.  “The Boy From Dublin” delivers a passionate story made even more complicated by his love for Margaret Baumann, a girl he knew was entirely out of his reach.   Fighting against the class imbalance between them and a haunting family history, Finn finds himself sinking deeper into London's underbelly. He quickly becomes a front runner for East London's most notorious gangsters. Working hard to keep his growing relationship with Margaret separate from his criminal ties, the lines between the two worlds begin to blur.  Finn fights for a place to belong. “The Boy From Dublin” is a story of poverty, corruption, love, and grief.  Finn must decide where home truly lies, in the arms of the girl he loves, or in the shadow of a past that refuses to let him go.      Want to watch: YouTube Meisterkhan Pod (Please Subscribe)  

Anthony Fennell, an Irish journalist and playwright, is assigned to cover the underwater cables that carry the world's information. The sum of human existence—words, images, transactions, memes, voices, viruses—travels through the tiny fiber-optic tubes. But sometimes the tubes break, at an unfathomable depth. Fennell's journey brings him to the west coast of Africa, where he uncovers a story about the raw human labor behind the dazzling veneer of the technological world. He meets a fellow Irishman, John Conway, the chief of mission on a cable repair ship. The mysterious Conway is a skilled engineer and a freediver capable of reaching extraordinary depths. He is also in love with a South African actress, Zanele, who must leave to go on her own literary adventure to London. When the ship is sent up the coast to repair a series of major underwater breaks, both men learn that the very cables they seek to fix carry the news that may cause their lives to unravel. At sea, they are forced to confront the most elemental questions of life, love, absence, belonging, and the perils of our severed connections. Can we, in our fractured world, reweave ourselves out of the thin, broken threads of our pasts? Can the ruptured things awaken us from our despair? Resoundingly simple and turbulent at the same time, Twist (Random House, 2025) is a meditation on the nature of narrative and truth from one of the great storytellers of our times. Colum McCann is the author of eight novels, three collections of stories and two works of non-fiction. Born and raised in Dublin, Ireland, he has been the recipient of many international honours, including the U.S National Book Award, the International Dublin Literary Prize, a Chevalier des Arts et Lettres from the French government, election to the Irish arts academy, several European awards, the 2010 Best Foreign Novel Award in China, and an Oscar nomination. In 2017 he was elected to the American Academy of Arts. His work has been published in over 40 languages. He is the President and co-founder of the non-profit global story exchange organization, Narrative 4. He lives in New York with his wife Allison and their family. Recommended Books: Mary Shelley, Frankenstein Omar El Akkad, One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This Chris Holmes is Chair of Literatures in English and Associate Professor at Ithaca College. He writes criticism on contemporary global literatures. His book, Kazuo Ishiguro Against World Literature, is published with Bloomsbury Publishing. He is the co-director of The New Voices Festival, a celebration of work in poetry, prose, and playwriting by up-and-coming young writers. Learn more about your ad choices.

It is with much regret that we come to the end of the journey that has been The Film '89 Podcast, as tonight's episode marks for the guys a peak of sorts, a culmination of the last 7 years which has all led to the film we're covering on this monumental episode. Steve, Neil and Skye are joined by a returning co-host who hasn't been on Film '89 since Episode 40, way back in November 2019, when he and Steve reviewed The Irishman, it's our good friend, Tony Sower. Tony joins us to discuss his all-time favorite film, a film that we've been threatening to cover on the podcast for the longest time. If the name of this podcast takes influence from the ‘80s and nostalgia for movies we grew up with, then this film in a way typifies that era. And if the 1980s will be remembered for particular types of film, then the high concept action film is surely one of those types, born out of a decade where excess was celebrated. That film is the 1985 Arnold Schwarzenegger action classic, Commando. Some frankly hyperbolic opinions are going to be put forth on tonight's episode, opinions as big as the Austrian Oak himself. Commando sees Arnie, after the fantasy heroics of Conan The Barbarian and the sci-fi horror of The Terminator, playing a more grounded, contemporary role as retired Army Commando, John Matrix. Yet there's ultimately nothing grounded when it comes to Commando, a film that takes over the top machismo to hitherto unseen levels in a film that may be the action film distilled to its purest form. We hope you've enjoyed The Film '89 Podcast, we'd love to carry on, but after a peak like Commando, there's nowhere to go but down, and we always intended to go out on a high. Adios.

This week on Irishman In America Marion McKeone talks all things tariffs. With the unveiling of Trump‘s tariff bonanza, Wall Street has come tumbling down by upwards of 3 trillion dollars. Have Republicans hit the panic button in secret? Is a Republican Civil War just around the corner? Marion McKeone reports from Washington about the impact , of Donald's tariff tornado on the mood of American consumers and industry top dogs. Rumours swirled this week that Elon Musk was to step down from his DOGE position. Jarlath asks Marion if the choice to step away has anything to do with the backlash against him around the country. Marion hunts for some positivity missed the bleakness and asks the question if to understand these tariffs America needs to hire a therapist rather than an economist.

We start on a director's chair. We pull back to reveal its back. On it is emblazoned a name. That name? George MacKay, the wonderful star of this week's thought-provoking original movie musical, Joshua Oppenheimer's The End, who pops into the podbooth to have a good old natter [from 30:49 - 48:20 approx] with... We pull back. It's another director's chair. On it, another name: Chris Hewitt. Everyone shrugs their shoulders. But wait! There's another chair, and another name! That name is Irwin Winkler, the legendary producer of Rocky, Raging Bull, Goodfellas, The Irishman, Creed, and now The Alto Knights, as he talks to Chris about going double De Niro on that movie. [1:00:37 - 1:17:11 approx] And then there are three more chairs, with three more names, as Helen O'Hara, James Dyer, and John Nugent join Chris in the podbooth for a topsy-turvy episode that flips the format of the show upside down. Our intrepid quartet answer a listener question about Double De Niro, review A Working Man, The Woman In The Yard, and Novocaine, and discuss the week's movie news, including the glacially-paced reveal of the cast of Avengers Doomsday, which was unfolding as we recorded this very show. But they don't necessarily do all of those things in that order. If you're not an MCU stan (or Stan), that discussion comes right at the end of the episode, so here's a rough time stamp should you wish to skip. [1:32:24 approx] For MCU fans, though, dive in. Enjoy.

But when the group chat discloses the most sensitive national security information about an up-coming bombing in Yemen, well that's a bit different.
