In the final epsidoe of our hardcore series with Dance or Die, we're joined by London-based DJ, producer, and Rag & Bone label founder Jason Alexander, better known as Warlock, who documents his 36 years inside UK rave culture. We revisit the early days of breakbeat hardcore, the impact of Belgian and Dutch rave records, and the rapid mutations of jungle, darkcore, techno and dubstep. We talk about dodging the DTI while broadcasting pirate radio, the parallel rise of squat parties and mega-raves, and how media panic, the Criminal Justice Act, and major labels all reshaped the scene. You'll also hear stories from legendary spots like Labyrnth, SW1 Club and Helter Skelter and learn about Rag & Bone's raw, punk-adjacent take on breaks, electro, and early dubstep before we take it up to the present and find out about this wizard's current obsession with 160+ bpm bass music, Hooveran Blur, and the joy (and labor) of digging for new sounds in an algorithmic age. Hosted by Vivian Host (aka DJ Star Eyes). For more info and extras, visit Ravetothegrave.org or Instagram @ravetothe.grave.

Chita Rivera spent decades becoming one of Broadway's greatest stars, but her first Tony Award didn't come until 1984 with The Rink. Joined by Liza Minnelli in a rare Broadway pairing, Rivera led a musical that endured years of rewrites, creative shakeups, and a troubled road to opening night. Featuring music by the legendary team of John Kander and Fred Ebb, a new book by Terrence McNally, direction by A.J. Antoon, and choreography by Graciela Daniele, The Rink brought together an extraordinary group of artists—even if the production itself struggled to find its audience. In this episode, discover how one of Broadway's most fascinating collaborations became both a critical disappointment and the performance that finally earned Chita Rivera her long-awaited Tony Award. Notable Cast and Creatives (Martin Beck Theatre): Chita Rivera, Liza Minnelli, Stockard Channing, Jason Alexander, Scott Ellis, Rob Marshall, John Kander & Fred Ebb, Terrence McNally, A.J. Antoon, Graciela Daniele, and producer Jules Fisher. -- Click ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠here⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for a transcript with photos, videos, and a list of all resources used.

Munaf Manji and Dave Essler talk betting for Tuesday. Munaf Manji and Uncle Diamond Dave Essler are back after a Memorial Day reset and come loaded for one of the busiest Tuesdays of the spring. The Knicks swept Cleveland and are heading to the NBA Finals for the first time since 1999, winning 11 straight in the postseason, but the real conversation is Game 5 of the Western Conference Finals where Oklahoma City hosts San Antonio with the series tied two games apiece. With Jalen Williams questionable and AJ Mitchell already ruled out for the Thunder, the market has slid from five and a half down to four and a half, and both hosts land squarely on the under, pointing to San Antonio's scoring trend through the series, OKC's need to slow the game down with a shorter bench, and the defensive intensity both teams have shown in every game after the first. Munaf drills into the second-half total as his preferred bet and flags De'Aaron Fox's rebounds-plus-assists at 9.5 on FanDuel as a prop worth targeting given what Fox has done in his two healthy games this series. From there the guys go deep on eight MLB games. Tampa Bay's Griffin Jax continues his surprising conversion from reliever to starter when the Rays visit Baltimore to face Shane Baz, a matchup that cuts both ways given each pitcher faced the other team in his immediately prior start. Spencer Strider returns to Fenway with Atlanta against Ranger Suarez and the Red Sox in a game both hosts think favors the Braves early and the over late once both bullpens get involved. Chase Burns takes a never-faced-the-Mets edge into Citi Field against David Peterson with Cincinnati firmly in the NL Central race. Cam Schlittler, who owns a 1.04 road ERA and a .139 opponent average on the road this season, faces Bailey Falter in Kansas City in what becomes Dave's best bet, Yankees first five minus a half run. Munaf's best bet is the Cardinals-Brewers under four and a half in the first five innings with Michael McGreevy and Kyle Harrison both in elite form and zero familiarity working in favor of either offense. Jason Alexander goes for Houston in Arlington the night after the Rangers threw a combined no-hitter, with both hosts liking the Texas team total over. Emerson Hancock and Luis Severino bring their home-road split drama to West Sacramento, and Eduardo Rodriguez faces Tyler Mahle at Oracle Park in an over-or-under debate shaped entirely by the park's dimensions and a 22-mile-per-hour wind blowing out.

AI isn't replacing your team. It's exposing how under-leveraged they already are. Most CEOs aren't losing to AI—they're losing to competitors who are scaling output without adding headcount. Same team size, different execution. The gap shows up in proposals that don't convert, messaging that breaks trust, and workflows that slow revenue velocity without anyone noticing. AI doesn't fix bad strategy. It amplifies it. Without guardrails, it creates inconsistency across sales, brand, and client experience—quietly eroding close rates and compressing EBITDA while looking like “progress.” The real risk isn't adoption. It's unstructured adoption that feels productive but fragments how the business actually performs under pressure. Jason Alexander, founder of Chief AI, built and exited an $80M+ company and now works inside businesses where AI is already changing output, consistency, and market share—whether leadership has structured it or not.

In this episode, Aimee sits down with Jonah Platt, actor, musician, and host of The Being Jewish Podcast. Aimee first reflects on the milestone of 200 episodes and  impact of IWSTHAB on the Jewish community, before pivoting to Jonah's personal story. Jonah Platt discusses the complexities of navigating health, faith, and the public eye while trying to grow a family. This conversation is a vulnerable exploration of how chronic health challenges reshape the path to parenthood. Jonah Platt opens up about his upbringing in a musical household and his transition into fatherhood alongside his wife, Courtney, who lives with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). He describes the reality of MS—the extreme fatigue and the medical necessity for Courtney to stop life-altering medications in order to conceive and breastfeed. In discussing the lack of awareness around these specific hurdles, Jonah notes, "I think we don't talk about this story that much because her issue isn't fertility." This challenge led the couple through three distinct reproductive journeys: a natural pregnancy, IVF, and surrogacy. Jonah shares the emotional weight of supporting his partner through a taxing fertility journey and the gift of surrogacy, which allowed Courtney to be fully present for their daughter's birth. Through his story, Jonah highlights the importance of choosing a path that preserves the health of the mother while expanding options for building families. If you are navigating the difficult intersection of chronic illness and family building, this episode offers a compassionate and grounded perspective. You're not alone. More about Jonah Platt: Jonah Platt is one of America's most trusted voices on modern Jewish identity, culture, and current events. He hosts Being Jewish with Jonah Platt—the world's #1 Jewish podcast—exploring Jewish life through conversations with prominent Jews and allies like Jason Alexander, Congressman Ritchie Torres, Bernard-Henry Lèvy, Cindy Crawford, and Sheryl Sandberg. An accomplished entertainer, Jonah has starred in acclaimed projects from Broadway (Wicked) to Hollywood (Being the Ricardos), is co-writing the musical adaptation of The Giver, and producing his first feature film, The Mensch. He was honored with California's inaugural Community Excellence Award for Combating Antisemitism, Holocaust Museum LA's inaugural Roz & Abner Goldstine Advocacy Award, the 2025 American Friends of ELEM LifeSaver Award, and is currently pursuing his Master's in Antisemitism Studies at Gratz College.

I loved all of its suggestions and thought they were so applicable to people in the fertility community too.  2- Finding Calm in the Chaos with Dr. Aliza Ancier  Mindfulness is something anyone can use to get through stressful situations, but I had never really given it much thought until this conversation with Aliza. It's amazing how something so simple can really help. 3- Making Mikvah Meaningful with Dr. Naomi Grumet  Mikvah is one of the hardest mitzvos to keep when you're struggling to have a baby.  I hated every single time I went. The suggestions here were personally life-changing and helped me reframe mikvah. 4-  A Decision I Never Imagined: An Anonymous TFMR Story  This was the first episode we did on TFMR, and I remember being so nervous before it came out.  Not because I was worried that we were doing anything wrong by sharing this incredible story, but more because I was concerned about backlash.  And the amazing thing is - TFMR stories are some of the most listened to in our 200 episodes.  Because people don't walk these stories openly, it's a huge gift to offer those dealing with this personally the knowledge that they are not alone.   5- Tokophobia with Yehudit Kosowsky Even as a doctor, I had never heard of tokophobia before, but I have had dozens of people/year message me that they are so grateful this episode exists.   Connect with us: Website‍ ‍ Instagram - send us a message YouTube‍ ‍ Facebook‍ ‍ TikTok‍  ‍LinkedIn‍ ‍

Enrico is back! Our "Fairy Godfather", Enrico has been one of the earliest supporters of this podcast and our original format of our not-for-profit (since 2011). He was also our guest on our maiden voyage, in episode 2 - back in May 2020. We get started where we left off in Episode 2, exploring a ton of what-ifs and why-nots.   Enrico is a veteran actor – starring in Hollywood films, in Broadway theatre productions and in internationally syndicated, culture-making TV series. And in this chat we sit with Enrico as we know him: a guy from the neighbourhood, always in movement and always in search of bigger answers.   We discuss the important hold of belief systems on our actions and the untraining . We learn about an out of body experience on stage, realignment with the what is, embracing the original moment and the danger of tribalism without the actual purity of the tribe. We hear ultimately about his thoughts on his last words on earth --- and about a series of recent books that vaulted him into a different kind of question-making, including the questioning of his own beliefs and has had him crave more about the idea of mission and home.   Untraining.   Fault (Chicago Shakespeare Theatre), Enrico's upcoming theatre production Fault – April & May 2026, directed by Jason Alexander: https://www.chicagoshakes.com/productions/fault/ https://www.broadwayworld.com/chicago/article/Enrico-Colantoni-and-Teri-Hatcher-to-Star-in-FAULT-at-Chicago-Shakespeare-Theater-20260225   Enrico,   IMDB: https://www.imdb.com/name/nm0170186/ IG: @enricocolantoni_really The English teacher: https://tv.apple.com/ca/show/english-teacher/umc.cmc.459knzftbzgdjj4s5gyoxfsmj Working Class roots: https://www.cbc.ca/arts/q/enrico-colantoni-credits-his-working-class-mentality-for-his-success-on-the-screen-1.7467852 To give to the Behind Greatness podcast, please visit here: https://behindgreatness.org.

Late Night talk shows are a unique art form that started with Jack Paar, Steve Allen, Johnny Carson and then continues today in whatever form it's in. But what made Carson special was because you got to see actors who weren't out there with the internet and take a look into their personal lives. In this episode, Jason Alexander and Peter Tilden sit down with Mark Malkoff, comedian and author of the book, Love Johnny Carson: One Obsessive Fan's Journey to Find the Genius Behind the Legend, and host of The Carson Podcast. Max will entertain us with several interesting stories about Carson and his time as the king of Late Night. Since Max is a also a self described "huge comedy nerd", Jason and Peter will get to share their stories about Carson and answer Max's questions about Jason's own late night appearances. This includes Jason's first time on Carson, being on both Letterman and Leno's shows, his experience with Craig Ferguson and his filling in for Jon Lovitz last minute on Conan O'Brien's test show. Something else you should know about Max; outside of being an author on comedy, Max has become well known for pulling off some incredible public stunts. These range from asking random New Yorkers to carry him to visiting 171 Starbucks to living in an Ikea to bringing a goat into an Apple Store. Of course we'll have a lot of questions.

Some AI data centers known as "hyperscalers" need to consume as much water as the whole city of Philadelphia. On this this episode, Jason Alexander and Peter Tilden ask Eric Olson, the assistant professor of finance and the director of the Center of Energy Studies at the University of Tulsa, to not only reveal how much much water it takes for ChatGPT to answer one question but to also address why building an AI data center in some place like Phoenix, Arizona isn't a good option. They also address the concerns of rising energy costs from these AI data centers being passed on to the consumer and if recycled water, or greywater, could be a potential solution. Would it make sense to move the data centers to areas with colder climates like Alaska or Antartica to handle the evaporative cooling? Eric also clarifies what we've all heard about job creation during the developmental phase. The conversation also delves into why businesses like Netflix spend so much money on servers to keep up with the attention society and the demand society. Learn more about your ad choices.

Hollywood's latest “anxiety hack” isn't a new miracle drug — it's an old medication with a new spotlight. Jason Alexander and Peter Tilden dig into the celebrity buzz around beta blockers with Dr. Nasser Ghaemi, an academic psychiatrist and professor of psychiatry at Tufts University. They break down what beta blockers (like propranolol) actually do, why actors and musicians use them for performance anxiety, and the big catch: they can reduce symptoms without addressing the root cause. Dr. Ghaemi explains when “situational” use can make sense — and when it can backfire with side effects like low blood pressure, cognitive dulling, or added risk for people with asthma or diabetes. Along the way, Jason and Peter riff on Hollywood nerves, guest-star pressure on Seinfeld, and a wild story about “anxiety drugs in rivers” making salmon bolder — because of course it does. The episode lands on a bigger debate: quick-fix culture, rising anxiety in young people, and why AI therapy can't replace a human clinician (yet). Learn more about your ad choices.

How do art heists actually work — and why do so many stolen masterpieces disappear forever? On Really? No, Really?, Jason Alexander and Peter Tilden talk with art-theft investigator Anthony Amore about the real mechanics of modern art crime. Amore cuts through the Hollywood myths, explaining why museums are more vulnerable than people think, how routine and insider knowledge get exploited, and why stolen art is often hidden for decades instead of sold. The conversation ranges from legendary unsolved heists and forgery scandals to the underground realities of fencing stolen art — plus some unexpected laughs, including Jason's own “missing” Tony Award moment.

It's time for our Annual Festivus episode with the great, powerful, and wise Jason Alexander! Jason returns again to Independent Americans to help us air our grievances, navigate a truly turbulent holiday season and find some joy worth spreading. From the tragic origins of the Festivus holiday to the "despicable" and "amoral" nature of the Seinfeld characters that the world still loves, Jason and Paul Rieckhoff dive deep into why this "holiday for the rest of us" feels more relevant than ever in 2025. The conversation takes a serious turn as they process the heavy news of the week, including the release of more Epstein files, the escalating tensions with Venezuela, and the tragic death of creative legend Rob Reiner. Jason shares stories from working with Rob Reiner, reflects on the magic of The Princess Bride, slams Trump's meanness, and offers a powerful perspective on protecting your "inner bubble" and maintaining community in the face of a digital world designed to keep us angry and fearful. It is a masterclass in finding light to contrast the heat, reminding us that while the "macro" world may be in dysfunction, our "micro" communities are where we find our grace.  Because every episode of Independent Americans with Paul Rieckhoff breaks down the most important news stories--and offers light to contrast the heat of other politics and news shows.

WWE Legend Mick Foley joins the show after walking away from the company he loves with a special holiday message of integrity, peace and kindness.  Plus: Updates from the frontlines in Ukraine (Day 1,393), Elise Stefanik bows out of the NY Governor race, Jake Paul gets a reality check (and a broken jaw), and a preview of tomorrow's annual Festivus special with Jason Alexander.
