Podcast appearances and mentions of jo march

My guest today is someone I've called a "lifer, " or lifelong friend since nearly the day we met - back in the early 2000's when she brilliantly played Jo March in a production of "Little Women" I had the excellent fortune to direct at her alma mater, Cincinnati College Conservatory of Music. Since then, I have watched her star rise from her Broadway debut in "Cry Baby" to taking the country by storm, leading the National Tour of "Beautiful - the Carole King Musical" as Carole, a role I had already seen her magnificently play on Broadway. Today we sat and not only caught up, but re-charged...reminding ourselves of the true beauty of what we do and why we do it. I hope you enjoy the conversation even half as much as we did.

In our episode recorded the day after the devastating 2024 election, we talk about Little Women author, Louisa May Alcott. Feminist, abolitionist, creative QUEEN! Tess takes us through her unique childhood, into her young adult life working too many jobs to even count, and then her success as an author, all while mourning her childhood. This episode was full of a lot of tears and vulnerability, but we wanted to show up and talk about a woman who kept fighting for what she believed is, against all odds, in the 1800s. This episode is for the spinsters.

Hers is a uniquely provocative, confessional style which confronts issues such as trauma of abortion, rape, alcoholism and sexual history. In recent years Tracey has focussed on painting and she has just published her first in-depth exploration of her painted work, simply called Paintings. Anita Rani talks to her about that and her latest exhibition, I followed you to the End, on now at the White Cube gallery in London.Nikki Doucet has been called the most powerful person in English women's football.

Healthwatch England did research with women who were reluctant to accept NHS invitations for screening and found that 73% would do an at-home test instead. A trial done by King's College, London earlier this year found that if self-sample kits were available on the NHS, 400,000 more women would be screened per year. Chief Executive of Healthwatch England, Louise Ansari, and Dr Anita Lim, lead investigator of the King's College London trial, join Clare to talk about their findings.On 22 September 1994, the American TV show Friends premiered on NBC and the characters Monica, Rachel, Phoebe, Joey, Chandler and Ross became household names.

The number of children who are fully vaccinated for MMR - measles, mumps and rubella - has fallen to the lowest level in 14 years. According to NHS figures, this year 91.9% of children aged five received one dose of the MMR vaccine and only 83.9% have had two doses. To reach herd immunity – the point where diseases stop spreading - at least 95% per cent of children need to be immunised. Clare discusses the issues with Carly Danesh-Jones, a parent who previously held vaccine hesitancy views and changed her mind, and Dr Vanessa Saliba, a UK Health and Security Agency consultant epidemiologist.It's been 20 years since the singer, songwriter and actor Joanna Levesque - or JoJo - signed her first record deal at the age of just 12 years old and shot to the top of the pop-and-R&B charts. Her cool-girl appearance and upbeat music with hits such as Leave (Get Out) to Baby It's You earned her millions of fans across the world. She joins Clare to discuss her memoir Over The Influence which delves into the challenges she faced, from her parent's addiction problems, through to her own struggles growing up in the limelight.

Ces Little Women aussi célèbres, ce sont Jo, Meg, Beth et Amy March, quatre sœurs aussi soudées que différentes. Jo, aventurière et faisant fi des conventions de l'époque, se rêve écrivaine. Margareth « Meg », responsable et mesurée, est aux antipodes de Jo avec laquelle elle partage, pourtant, un lien solide. Beth, elle, est introvertie et passe ses journées à aider sa mère, Marmee, aux tâches ménagères. Enfin, Amy est la plus jeune des quatre sœurs et la plus envieuse de ses aînées. Depuis le départ de leur père à la guerre, elles vivent dans une aisance relative, mais dans un bonheur bien réel. La série, disponible sur arte.tv, raconte le quotidien de ces quatre héroïnes entre disputes familiales et premiers émois amoureux. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oaIVZT4EkwA La famille March incarnée par des noms connus de la télévision Roman publié à l'origine en deux volumes en 1868 et 1869, Les Quatre Filles du Dr March (en version française) a fait l'objet de nombreuses adaptations aussi bien cinématographiques que télévisuelles. Little Women fait partie de cette dernière catégorie. Et si cette fiction britannique a été diffusée sur la BBC en 2017, elle est aujourd'hui présente sur Arte.TV pour le plus grand bonheur des fans du livre, qui est devenu un classique de la littérature américaine, ou encore des fictions historiques. Puisqu'à travers les aventures plus ou moins heureuses des quatre héroïnes, on prend la mesure de la désolation créée par la Guerre de Sécession aux États-Unis et des répercussions sur les proches des hommes appelés au combat. Une désolation que tente d'endiguer tant bien que mal la famille March alors qu'elle traverse, elle aussi, des problèmes aussi bien financiers que personnels. Une générosité déjà bien présente dans le livre original auquel Heidi Thomas, la scénariste, a voulu rester fidèle. Ce n'est donc pas le fond qui est ici notable, mais plutôt la forme, et plus précisément, le choix des comédiens. Ainsi, les sériephiles les plus avertis reconnaîtront dans le rôle d'Amy, Kathryn Newton vue dans Big Little Lies, ou encore Julian Morris (Pretty Little Liars) qui incarne le tuteur de Laurie Laurence, Dylan Baker (Père Kay dans Evil) prête ses traits au Dr March, quant à Angela Lansbury (Jessica Fletcher de la série Arabesque), elle joue la tante ironique et particulièrement franche de la fratrie. Mais Little Women permet surtout d'assister aux débuts en tant qu'actrice de Maya Hawke. Avant d'exploser sur le petit écran dans le rôle de Robin dans la série Stranger Things, la fille d'Uma Thurman et d'Ethan Hawke trouvait ici, en 2017, son premier rôle à la télévision en interprétant l'intrépide et impulsive Jo March. De quoi mesurer le chemin parcouru ! [bs_show url="little-women-2017"] Déclinée en 3 épisodes de 59 min, Little Women est proposée sur le catalogue d'arte.tv jusqu'au 29 avril 2025.

Jo March und ihre drei Schwestern leben im Osten der USA zur Zeit des amerikanischen Bürgerkriegs. Ihre Eltern sehen sie als "kleine Frauen", die sich in ihre Vorstellungen von Weiblichkeit einfügen müssen. Am schwersten fällt das der jugendlichen Jo - ein Freigeist, eine Autorin und der Grund, warum dieses Buch über hundert Jahre lang Frauen und Mädchen begeistert hat. Wir werfen einen kritischen Blick auf den Roman von Louisa May Alcott, der bei uns durchaus widersprüchliche Gefühle ausgelöst hat und stellen euch das faszinierende Leben einer Autorin vor, die ihrer Zeit voraus war.

Aline a attendu très longtemps de tomber amoureuse, au point de fréquenter parfois intimement des personnes (hommes puis femmes et personnes non-binaires) et finalement ça n'est pas arrivé. On lui aurai menti ? Ainsi qu'à nous toutes et tous : l'amour n'est-il pas censé nous arriver FORCEMENT à tous, toutes, un jour ? Et notre vie peut-être avoir un sens si on ne tombe jamais en amour ? Aline a découvert d'autres formes d'amour, un accomplissement personnel et familial, et une vraie sérénité autrement. Elle le développe dans ce livre d'utilité publique, surtout pour les femmes conditionnées à chercher l'amour romantique à tout prix (y compris leur santé mentale) : "Post-romantique - comment moins de romance pourrait sauver l'amour (et la société)". On y évoque de nombreux sujets, car cela touche absolument tous les aspects de la société : logement, santé, finances. Bonne écoute ! Prochain épisode le 24 avril, avec une personne qui nous aide à nous sentir mieux, à ne plus rester enfermé·e dans des schémas répétitifs, des pensées obsessionnelles, à fixer nos limites et à les faire respecter.

Il lui a fallu du temps pour l'accepter, plus encore pour comprendre qu'elle était heureuse ainsi. Cette prise de conscience l'a amenée à s'interroger : pourquoi cette obsession pour l'amour romantique qui, aussi universel et naturel qu'il nous paraisse, est une invention du XIXe siècle ?Dans Post-romantique, la journaliste sonde les injonctions à sortir du célibat et notre rapport au couple et à l'amour. Elle y raconte celles et ceux qui ont choisi de vivre autrement, les bonheurs comme les difficultés de ces vies alternatives, appelant à des changements sociétaux pour les accompagner. Au-delà de la question de la contrainte à la romance, ce livre est une invitation joyeuse à réinvestir l'ensemble de nos relations, en particulier nos amitiés, et à imaginer de nouvelles manières de faire famille et société.« Mais être asexuel ou aromantique ne signifie pas, comme le décrit Aline Laurent-Mayard dans Post Romantique, ne pas avoir d'amour dans sa vie. Les amis, les colocataires, les frères et sœurs, bref la famille « de cœur » décentrée du couple ou du sexe peuvent aussi être des sources d'affection et de tendresse, constituer des soutiens et accompagner le chemin de chacun.

Greta Gerwig's "Little Women": A cinematic marvel that delicately stitches together the threads of sisterhood, ambition, and love. Gerwig's adaptation dances between past and present, breathing life into Louisa May Alcott's beloved characters. Saoirse Ronan's portrayal of Jo March is a symphony of passion and vulnerability. With its bold choices and luminous storytelling, "Little Women" invites us to ponder our own dreams against the backdrop of history.

Based on Louisa May Alcott's timeless novel, Little Women follows the lives of the March sisters: romantic Meg, spirited Jo, loving Beth, and tenacious Amy. The play adaption chronicles the sisters' childhood in the 1860s as they strive to be kind, intelligent, and imaginative young women. But as adulthood approaches, each sister must negotiate her private ambitions with society's expectations. In a war-torn world defined by gender, class, and personal tragedy, Jo March comes to write her greatest story: that of the March sisters, destined to be four imperfect little women.

On this episode of Stories of -Esses Gaby and Daniel discuss one of the most popular literary characters of American Literature, Josephine "Jo" March. Louisa May Alcott's novel "Little Women" is one the most-read books since its publication and Jo March, the protagonist, is the big reason why. Jo pushes boundaries in her day-to-day about what it means to be a woman and in this episode her point of view is the main focus.

We've all had that one book character growing up that resonated with us more than anything (refer to Mia wearing the Katniss Everdeen braid to middle school every day for a year). In today's episode, Karly & Mia will discuss the book characters that shaped them as the women they are today and how they related to their journeys. Special shoutout to Hermione Granger, Elizabeth Bennett, and Jo March for being the bookish, independent, badass babes they are. And we KNOW y'all can relate to Bella Swan entering a sad girl autumn depression spiral when she got dumped. Of course, Karly & Mia have a rant prepared and will be discussing their personal character development, starting from being confused as fuck post-grad, ditching the rat race of your 20s, and just simply doing things for the plot until further notice. Happy reading besties!

An Alcott protagonist even more trans than Jo March? It's more likely than you think. Lou's 1876 sensation story "Enigmas" features a young man who's hired to spy on another young man - a man who is short and delicate and rather young-looking, all things considered. (See where this is going?) Our spy is swiftly overtaken by sexual attraction to the man he's been hired to report on. Before the story's over and the spy is unmasked, Alcott will take the gender binary and fold it into a Mobius strip. Here to dive deep into this delightful bit of Alcottiana is Alice Rutkowski, chair and associate professor of English at SUNY Geneseo. She often teaches the courses Literature and the Civil War, the Queer Nineteenth Century, Safe Zone Train-the-Trainer, Feminism and Pornography, and Major Authors: Melville, among others. Her research centers on the Civil War and Reconstruction as well as queer theory and trans politics. In 2013, she founded the LGBTQ Issues Working Group at SUNY Geneseo, and she's the coordinator of the college's Safe Zone Network. Our cover art is by Mattie Lubchansky.

Anne Shirley, “all spirit and fire and dew,” is notorious for her temper and her pride. Ragon and Kelly explore why this is such a challenging character trait for Anne, and how she overcomes it. Side quests include TikTok, duels of honor, and whether Jo March, Mary Lennox or Pippi Longstocking is Anne's spiritual sister.

A New York Times op-ed argues that Louisa May Alcott was a trans man. Matt and Laura wonder whether we can know anyone's gender identity looking back 150 years. They also discuss what it would mean for feminism if the mother of modern women's literature was really its father.Send us a bad take to review at badtakes@grid.news

Whether you're a die-hard Jo fan or an Amy apologist, there's no way to be a woman alive in the 21st century without having an opinion on Louisa May Alcott's Little Women. We get into it, discussing all three major film adaptations, plus the now canon March Sisters at Christmas. We also discuss the female expectation of auto fiction, the limits of writing around a dead loved one, and the Cool Girl-ification of Jo March.

One thing that struck us as we read classic novels is the many references to our heroines taking food to sick people. Today we revisit “invalid care,” and show how bookish stars such as Pollyanna and Jo March teach us how to become more thoughtful, compassionate, and supportive via food and drink to our friends and family today.Shownotes:Pollyanna, you're killing us here with this meat jelly thing! And Jo March–what on earth is blancmange and why did you bring it to Laurie?Today we tell you how to comfort like a heroine through food and drink, walking in the bouncy footsteps of Pollyanna, who never entered a sick room without bearing a quivering bowl of calf's foot jelly. We also compare Pollyanna with Anne of Green Gables (could Eleanor Porter have plagiarized our LMM?), and share our best tips for pulling together the most comforting care packages. Blancmange recipe: https://www.tasteofhome.com/recipes/peach-bavarian/How do you care for sick and injured friends and family?

This week, we're chatting with cartoonist Kathleen Gros about her graphic novel Jo: An Adaptation of Little Women (Sort Of), which reimagines Jo March as a middle schooler discovering her queer identity and navigating a crush on Freddie, a girl who works with her on the school's paper. Kathleen is also the author of the forthcoming Anne, a contemporary retelling of Anne of Green Gables, which is due out this summer and, yes, promises budding romance between Anne and one Diana Barry. When Kathleen's not writing queer-as-hell adaptations of your favorite classics, she teaches comics at Langara College. You can visit her online at kagcomix.com and on Twitter at kagcomix.

Hayli Thomson lives in Sydney, Australia, and writes novels about candid characters for anybody who ever watched Jo March leap a fence and longed to be her best friend. Bizarrely, during her teen years, Hayli was afflicted with a 'headache' every third Monday in September, when she was left with no option but to stay home from school and watch her favourite female comedians collect Emmys live on the other side of the world. The Comedienne's Guide to Pride is her debut YA novel.

“Dancing was a dangerous game, but it meant that at night, at least, they knew what to do with themselves.” We continue our month of exploring The 12 Dancing Princesses with The Girls at the Kingfisher Club by Genevieve Valentine. This YA retelling removes all magic from the story and recontextualizes it by dropping the twelve young women into the Roaring '20s! Jo Hamilton and her eleven sisters live their lives trapped in the house of their father, who almost never acknowledges them, but they find freedom by sneaking out at night and dancing in the speakeasies of Manhattan. But everything changes when their father begins to suspect their activities and decides to start marrying his daughters off one by one. We discuss the creative new setting, Jo Hamilton vs. Jo March, the emphasis on the relationships between the sisters, the king/father as a villain, and more!  Join our community!

Rowling to Susan Sontag to Simone de Beauvoir has claimed the bookish and bold heroine of Louisa May Alcott's 150+ year old classic, Little Women, as a personal inspiration. What is it about Jo?

Another oceanside chat for people who enjoy them. Apparently quite a few people enjoy them!I get started talking about a pen friend and a phone friend, good stuff and various reasons things in communications have been clogged. General pep-talk about the current upbringing in kids to the previous upbringing I experienced with pretty crappy distractions that weren't as bad as now, but still pretty bad. I make it very clear here that I never wanted a parasocial relationship with my listeners. I wanted a social one. And? I still do!However much the technology changed to alter anyone's sociability? It didn't change mine! Why letter writing is very, very, important, even now. How the friends I've finally made in this have rewarded me with great company. (The whole reason I began this series.) A little study time with a DS episode, a wee, wee bit of Magda... and then: “*Spoiler*”: The phases of Quentin Collins, very basic: 1969; Evil Ghost (dead), 1897; Playboy (alive), Killed (dead), Zombie (dead/alive), Not Zombie (alive), Werewolf Curse (still alive), Magic Portrait takes curse and then he is immortal (indefinitely alive). Then fun chat about Kitty Soames. More on the topic of the non-canon romance, Julia/Barnabas phenomenon. Very calmly expressed. As well as my experience with healthy rejections and unhealthy reactions over the years. (A little more Jo March too.)Sprinkled in this are thoughts on a new "hero" of mine: Tim Wu. (I'm just not sure where all I mention him, pardon.)I wrap up with sober thoughts over more concentration on maintaining the help, pulling away from commercial sites, and focusing more on personal life, correspondence and friendship.

This week I have the privilege of talking with two very smart and talented women. Tiffany Schmidt and Jessica Spotswood join me to celebrate the release of Tiffany's new book in her Bookish Boyfriends series: TALK NERDY TO ME. Of course, I had to bring them on the show to talk about the fictional men who have been melting hearts for years.You can find Jessica's books here. And Tiffany's here.Social MediaTiffany's InstagramJessica's InstagramFind us on Instagram and Twitter @ktliterary or on our website www.ktliterary.com.

For anyone who wanted another explanatory ramble: You got it! Technical problems in both story and audio building of new Pit radio drama episodes.The convincing spell of social media (of course!) with the double-whammy of a belief non-canon pairings actually happened on the (DS) show. Much comparison to “Little Women” is involved. How Captain Daniel Gregg may also feel about a “kudos” or “like” button. Sharing mutual concern between myself and other fans of “The Ghost And Mrs. Muir”.More pride for John Karlen staying away from The Internet along with pen pals helping me break the social media addiction: “Good job!” Why hate a character for not reciprocating another, such as Jo March or Barnabas Collins? (It's like blaming Christopher Columbus for the misinformation someone else told you about him.) Updates on the marriage novel and a little banter about the characters of Barnabas Collins and Josette duPres. (Please pardon Munsters references here… or… don't! ;)Tips and memories about social media of olde. Know the difference between a waste-of-time and saving-time and know the difference between canon pairing and non-canon pairing. Working out what is coming up with Dr. Julia Hoffman and Professor Stokes in the radio drama episodes 21 and 22. Gratitude and great appreciation for pen pals; both maintained and adrift. “We pulled through. We made it!” Bless you all!

The guys tread on hallowed ground, speaking of the feminine genius behind Little Women: the Oscar-nominated film, the literary classic, and the cultural legend of Jo March, feminist icon. Along the way they avoid a pit of toxic masculinity, snooze beneath a woke tree, and arrive at the home fire of family life (and bar the door to the cold winds of childless existentialism).

When a studio executive “suggested” that Greta Gerwig change the ending she had devised for her version of "Little Women," Gerwig channeled Jo March, the fiery heroine of the Louisa May Alcott classic. Gerwig who was Oscar-nominated for best director in 2018 with "Lady Bird." She tells us about making "Little Women"-- her way.
