Meg Wolitzer presents three stories in that explore the idea of “fitting in,” and whether it's worth the effort.  In “Reality,” by Diana Spechler, a woman longs for the ephemeral glory of a reality show. It's read by Kirsten Vangsness. “Long Hair,” by Uche Okonkwo, performed by Karen Pittman, explores hair as a form of power.  And “A Sacrifice,” by Simon Van Booy, performed by Joanna Gleason, explores social dynamics and family secrets in a small Irish village. A brief interview with Van Booy is included. 

Les, Kurt, and Jason are headed to a place where no podcast is meant the thrive: Amish Country! But first, Blac Chyna's mom Tokio Toni got heated and flirty with The Game in a way that makes you rethink your snack foods. Then, it's time for Lifetime's Amish Stud: The Eli Weaver Story a true story about an Amish guy (Luke Macfarlane) that's using a Sidekick and dating apps on the DL but still needs a taxi driver (Criminal Minds' Kirsten Vangsness) to drive him around (because Amish). You could argue that there are too many people in this movie named Barbara or you could argue that there are never enough Barbaras. But you can't deny the minister with the Spirit Gum would never turn down a pie made by someone named Barbara in much the same way that a lady would never turn down what was being offered by the Time to Make the Donuts guy.   Facebook : lifetimeofhallmark Instagram : lifetimeofhallmarkpodcast Threads: lifetimeofhallmarkpodcast TikTok: lifetimeofhallmarkpod Theme song generously donated by purple-planet.com

Host Meg Wolitzer presents a celebration of the great Ray Bradbury, master of science fiction and fantasy.  Author Neil Gaiman, who hosted a live event at Symphony Space dedicated to Bradbury, elaborates on the program's stories that demonstrate Bradbury's imagination and humanism.  In  “There Will Come Soft Rains,” a smart home is all that's left in the wake of devastation—and it can't stop working.  The reader is Yetide Badaki.  Javier Munoz performs “The Fog Horn,” which presents a creature of the deep as an object of both fear and sympathy. And in “Embroidery,” a simple craft turns out to have unexpected power.  It's read by Kirsten Vangsness.

Creativity is the ability to let your beautiful internal hologram radiate out into the world, but it's not easy. We're taking the most innocent, precious part of ourselves and airing it out at the risk of opinions, judgment and rejection.    There's power in taking radical responsibility for our experiences. There's significance in flipping every “no, but” into a “yes, and” and constantly choosing to find a beautiful point to every motion we make, whether life is charmed or not.    All of this is antithetical to reactivity, a state in which many people live. Sometimes it might feel good, but all we're getting are little spouts of dopamine, not the lasting wellspring of joy that comes from within.    In a world that's often at war with creative women, how do we stand in our own power? How do we commit to all the goodness our creativity generates?    In this episode, we're joined for a gorgeous conversation by playwright, actor, pursuant of wonder and president of the Katie Hendricks appreciation society, Kirsten Vangsness. We talk about the gift and responsibility of creativity and how she chooses to be, play and love.    Three Things You'll Learn In This Episode    - Build a lifelong loving relationship with youBeing a creative person means we take our essence and publish it out into the world. That act and risk of judgment can take us away from ourselves. How do we collapse the time it takes to return to ourselves?   - From “no, but” to “yes, and”…How do we get in touch with that part of ourselves that welcomes all possibilities, realities, and discoveries?   - Take radical responsibility for your experience In a world where people often take their brokenness out on others, how can we contextualize negative things without exposing ourselves to them?

Have you ever stopped to think, really think, about which colours suit you best when buying your clothes, eyewear and accessories? We all have colours we love, but are these colours truly bringing out the best in us? What messages are we giving out when we choose to wear certain colours? Can wearing different colours make us come across, for example, as more credible, or more successful, or more confident, or more empathic, or more sensitive?Manina Weldon and Rachel Saunders run Red Leopard, and they believe passionately in the important of choosing and wearing the right colours. It goes without saying that Jason Kirk is just as passionate about colours, taking risks, being bold. And all this makes for a fascinating episode of The Eyes Have It, as Jason, Manina and Rachel look in depth and how we can all use colours to our advantage.Check out our other podcasts including, Jason Bell, Kwame Alexander, Morcheeba, Kirsten Vangsness, Alexandra Wood and The McCarricks.

Host Meg Wolitzer presents two stories about the nature of time and how it shapes our lives. In Helen Phillips' “The Knowers,” a woman chooses to learn a vital fact about her future, while her husband does not. Stockard Channing reads this thought-provoking fantasy. In Anita Felicelli's “Time Invents Us” a chance encounter turns the clock back for an aging artist. It's read by Kirsten Vangsness.

In this first episode of The Eyes Have It, Kirk & Kirk founder, Jason Kirk, sits down with actor Kirsten Vansgness. Their friendship goes back 15 years and Kirsten opens up to Jason about her childhood and her career, talking about the challenges she faced before reaching the levels of success she enjoys today. She talks about her innate shyness, her dyslexia, body-shaming in Hollywood, her passion for a fair society and of course her journey as Penelope Garcia in the multi-award winning CBS show, Criminal Minds, recounting previously unheard stories as she goes. Kirsten is also a glasses connoisseur and Kirk & Kirk frames have long been synonymous with Penelope Garcia. Kirtsen tells how she ensured that the frames Garcia wore were very much her choice, in order to properly reflect the personality of the character who became such a huge part of her life.

Alyshia reflects on a recent podcast episode with Kirsten Vangsness, a veteran star of Criminal Minds. They chatted about the challenge of maintaining creativity and curiosity when portraying the same character for an extended period. While consistent work is a dream come true for actors, it can become a snooze-fest creatively at times. To keep their artistic spark alive, the Alyshia urges actors to venture beyond their regular work, whether it's learning new skills or creating quirky characters in their spare time. As a potential writer's strike looms over the industry, it is important to focus on nurturing creativity and to start flexing their imagination muscles now, rather than sitting idle and waiting for their next gig.

For 17 seasons, actor Kirsten Vangsness has been known and loved for her role as Penelope Garcia, the witty and fashionable technical analyst on CBS's hit series "Criminal Minds," now newly reimagined for Paramount+.  From hosting her own YouTube series podcast, to doing theater productions while simultaneously balancing her series regular role, it's easy to wonder when she manages to get any sleep. Rather than viewing it as work, however, Kirsten says she chooses to fill her life with the things she loves and emphasizes the importance of doing the inner work to recognize what those things are. In today's episode, we get honest about actor mental health, as Kirsten shares her story and reminds us that no matter what level we're at, we can all continue to learn from one another as actors.

Before 'Criminal Minds,' most police procedurals focused on the "who" bit of "whodunit." But, when the Mandy Patinkin CBS series debuted in 2005, it was one of the first to ask not only "who," but "why." What resulted was a series that lasted over 300 episodes and 15 years — even if all of its cast didn't. Patinkin included, who called his two seasons on the show his "biggest mistake."You, like the FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit, might wonder... why? Our latest episode gets into it all, delving into the history and impact of 'Criminal Minds.' During the episode, we learn about Matthew Gray Gubler's surprising pre-'Criminal Minds' career, which gigantic series it actually beat in the ratings, and how Kirsten Vangsness lasted more than just the one episode she was cast for. Plus: 'Criminal Minds's 'Friends' tie-in, and Thomas Gibson's splash in a hot tub. So grab your private jets (wheels up in five, btw) and enjoy the story of 'Criminal Minds'!

Guest host Kirsten Vangsness presents three stories about hard choices.  In Jac Jemc's “Trivial Pursuit,” a husband and wife run the gamut of odd couples while trying to construct a social life.  Jordan Klepper kills it.  Renee Jessica Tan offers a thought-provoking response to racial stereotyping, and a great father/daughter story, in “Baghead,” performed by Karen Chee.  And a recent divorcee has nothing to lose in her “Spanish Winter.” But what does she have to gain? Melora Hardin performs this strong piece by Jennifer Egan. Join and give!: https://donatenow.networkforgood.org/symphonyspacenyc?code=Splashpage See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
