Podcasts about Little America

Alok Jha talks to Leilani Raashida Henry about her father: the pioneering Antarctic explorer and civil rights leader, George Washington Gibbs Jr. Born in Florida during the Jim Crow segregation era, Gibbs enlisted in the US Navy in 1935, and went South aboard the USS Bear. On 14 January 1940, Gibbs made history as the first black man to set foot in ‘Little America' and the first recorded person of African descent known to have landed on the Antarctic continent. Leilani, an author, facilitator, coach, artist, and public speaker, pieced together her father's story after his death from diaries and contemporary accounts and wrote a book – The Call of Antarctica: Exploring and Protecting Earth's Coldest Continent – inspired by his life. She has also followed in her father's footsteps on two expeditions to Antarctica.To support the work of the UK Antarctic Heritage Trust click here For more information about our guests click hereSeason 5 of A Voyage to Antarctica is made possible by support from HX Hurtigruten Expeditions.Sound credits:porto 19-05-14 quiet to moderate waves on rock beach.wav by bpayri - https://freesound.org/s/245132/ - License: Attribution 4.0ships cabin.WAV by inchadney - https://freesound.org/s/111123/ - License: Attribution 4.0CD_VIE_012FX_Synthetic_wind by kevp888 - https://freesound.org/s/711283/ - License: Attribution 4.0 Hosted on Acast.

She also dives into the impact of Bad Bunny on Puerto Rican culture, the harsh reality of gentrification on the island, and what it was like landing roles on Blacklist, Sneakerheads, and Little America.

Iranian/American actress & filmmaker Shila Ommi (Disney & Pixar ELEM ENTAL, Apple TV+  “Tehran,” “Little America,” “Charlie Wilson's War”), discussing her work at Pas in Netflix hot new binge-worthy series KAOS (starring Jeff Goldbloom and Janet McTeer). In the intriguing world of KAOS, it's the pantheon of gods versus humans with Zeus at the top of the mythological food chain as the cruel and stylish ruler of the gods, a position he has enjoyed for some time. Then one day he discovers the unthinkable: a wrinkle on his forehead. Paranoia builds, leading the supreme deity down a dangerous and unstable path. All-powerful Zeus is convinced his fall is nigh and sees omens of doom everywhere.  Recently audiences saw Shila as Cinder Lumen Firetown's resident matchmaker in Disney & Pixar ELEM ENTAL, utilizing her natural gift that allows her to smell true love in a Fire person's smoke, whether they know it or not. She boasts numerous matches throughout her tenure—she's proud of her track record—but this brusque, no-nonsense and traditional mom has yet to find a match for her daughter.  Elsewhere audiences can see Shila Ommi on the Apple TV+ espionage thriller, “Tehran.” Shila Ommi is one of the returning co-stars of Apple TV+,  espionage thriller, “Tehran,” now streaming season two now on Apple TV+.  Ommi portrays the character of Nahid Kamali, the wife of Shaun Toub's character Faraz Kamali (a skilled investigator with the Revolutionary Guards), and she also shared the screen with the iconic Glenn Close, and in season two. The heart-pounding “Tehran,” which has earned the comparison in the media already of “24” meets “The Americans,” is must-watch TV at its finest. Shila Ommi is an American/ actress, born in Tehran, and has lived in Los Angeles since the onslaught of the 1979 Iranian Revolution.  Her mother was a poet and her father was a philanthropist, real estate mogul, and the founder and CEO of Iran's largest construction company, Vima Co.  At an early age, Ommi witnessed the wrath of the Islamic regime. Ommi's father was also on their hit list, but her family had the chance to flee the country, leaving behind their wealth and all their belongings to begin a new life in the United States. Today, Shila Ommi is a prominent actress in the Iranian communities in diaspora.  For over a decade, she toured the globe as the lead actress and co-artistic director of Workshop 79, a theatre company spearheaded by acclaimed Iranian playwright/director/actor Houshang Touzie (“A Simple Wedding,” “Argo”). The founder of the LA-based theater group, Turquoise Heart Productions,  Ommi uses theater art as a form of healing and activism, writes, directs, and acts in theatre pieces that share the Iranian experience with American audiences, and the exile experience with Iranians abroad. She is recently directed a play commissioned by the Los Angeles Department of Mental Health. Ommi portrays the character Nahid, in the acclaimed espionage thriller, “Tehran,” with seasons 1 & 2 streaming now on Apple TV+ . She portrayed the character of Yasmin in the Apple TV+ anthology series “Little America” co-starring with Shaun Toub (who is also her screen husband in “Tehran”).  Ommi is also a voice-over artist and performs regularly in animated films and web series.  She is the voice of all the characters, male and female in a cartoon series called “NOPM: Special Forces” which was commissioned by the Boromand Foundation, a human rights organization focused on Iran's human rights violations. She is narrating a video about deforestation, and a film about Iran… both coming out by the end of this year.   Today's sponsor: Www.kaldental.com 310-360-8250 https://www.instagram.com/dds.kaldental    Stay connected on my newsletter and socials: https://www.chonacas.com/links/

In this episode we discuss all the constructs and schemas we break down via nostalgia (which isn't cringe), the madlibs that is the genre of “Canadian improvised soap-opera”, the legend of the McDonald's caboose, being at peace with North West being Simba, mystery smells, Facebook memories of humiliating past statuses, how when you see something (a bad show) you need to say something (horrible about it), that classic commuter archetype of the lothario, not being a patriot, sleeper cells awoken by the national anthem, when your Canadian is showing, how Toronto is technically Little America, actors making choices, hooking up on the GO Train, and SO MUCH MORE!!!

In todays "Crazy Crime of Passion" story Dana looks into Samuel Little who confessed to killing 93 women in the United States which makes him America's most prolific serial killer. Plus DCS plays "Who's Lying" with a listener, talks dealing with pressure, and wether men have morals when it comes to sex or not.

“I moved out to LA in 1999 with my best friend from high school. Every summer in college, we would write a screenplay. We were waiters during the day and then at night we would write,” says Lee Eisenberg. “Primarily, we would write comedies, or at least what we were attempting to be comedies.” Eventually, the partnership dissolved. Eisenberg's friend got a real job and he eventually landed a PA job on the film, Bedazzled. “I was the office PA and I met an intern named Gene Stupnitsky (No Hard Feelings) who was working for Harold Ramis.” “We started writing together, sold a few ideas to Larry David for Curb Your Enthusiasm, then wrote a pilot about two loser magicians who were roommates and just trying to get ahead. We were the two losers,” he jokes. “We sold it to Fox. It never got made, but that was our writing sample. We got hired on The Office. Funny enough, Harold read it, liked it, and hired us to co-write the movie Year One with him.” “When we were first starting off, I think jokes ruled. I'm very proud of that initial pilot, but it has no pathos. It could be animated to a certain extent. It had a lot of similarities to Flight of the Conchords or Arrested Development and less so, The Office.” These days, Eisenberg is best known for writing The Office, Bad Teacher, Hello Ladies, Good Boys, WeCrashed, Little America, and two new series, Jury Duty and Lessons in Chemistry.  Want more?

Following Shackleton's death in 1922 which marked the end of the Heroic Age in Antarctic history, no major expedition occurred to Antarctica until 1928 when a naval aviator, Richard Byrd, ventured south with ambitions to be the first person to fly over the south pole. In this podcast, I provide the history of Byrd's expedition and his research station Little America on the Ross Ice Shelf. In addition, I discuss the territorial claims that were being made for parts of the Antarctic continent by that time and the events leading up to the International Geophysical Year of 1957-1958 when Antarctica became the focus of research with 40 stations established there by 12 nations. The IGY became a turning point in Antarctic history leading to the signing of the Antarctic Treaty in 1959.
