The story of Alexander von Zemlinsky's The Mermaid begins with a passionate love affair and ends in heartbreak of the most unabashedly big-R Romantic kind. In 1900, the young, fabulously talented, and famously beautiful Alma Schindler came to Zemlinsky's home to study composition. Wildly passionate feelings soon developed between them, and Alma wrote the following in her diary: "I would gladly be pregnant for him, gladly bear his children. His blood and mine, commingled: my beauty with his intellect. I would gladly serve him in his professional life, live for him and his kith and kin, breathe [for him], attend to his every happiness, serve him with a gentle hand. God give me the strength and the willpower to do so." The relationship lasted a little over a year, until one night when Schindler attended a party that happened to be frequented by a brilliant conductor and composer twenty years her senior: Gustav Mahler. The rest is history. Zemlinsky was devastated and poured his energies into a tone poem based on Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid. The source may seem surprising, but as we'll see later on, it proved to be the perfect vehicle for Zemlinsky to exorcise the tortured memories of this turbulent relationship. For a long time, however, the score was lost. It wasn't until the 1980s that the full work was reconstructed, and it has since become one of Zemlinsky's most frequently performed pieces. And it's not hard to see why. The Mermaid is a forty-minute tone poem that, from start to finish, overflows with fin-de-siècle romanticism, very much in the vein of Schoenberg's Verklärte Nacht (Transfigured Night). It is a work of irresistible beauty and passion, and it is being played more and more as Zemlinsky's name begins to take its rightful place in the standard canon of composers. Today on the show, I'll tell you a bit more about Zemlinsky in case you're not familiar with him, read more of the unbearably passionate letters and diary entries from both Zemlinsky and Alma Schindler, and, of course, walk you through the heartbreakingly beautiful music of The Mermaid, showing how Zemlinsky balances narrative and abstract form, and how he created this opulent, lush, and profoundly moving score.

This Capricorn New Moon episode marks the first lunation of 2026, inviting a collective pause for reflection, steadiness, and intentional rebuilding. Recorded in the early morning hours of January 18, the episode opens as a ritual space, slowing the breath, honoring embodied resilience, and contemplating the “bones” of our lives: the structures, commitments, and practices that have sustained us over the past decade. Through Capricorn's themes of devotion, endurance, and legacy, the conversation weaves together astrology and tarot, including the Devil card's sober invitation to examine where fear, survival strategies, or inherited systems still hold authority over us, and where greater spiritual authorship is being called forth. The episode also offers a deep astrological lens on the rare and powerful Saturn–Neptune transition, as both planets prepare to leave Pisces and enter Aries, culminating in their once-every-36-years conjunction at 0° Aries on February 21, 2026. This threshold signals a profound reset of personal and collective structures, asking us to integrate spirituality with responsibility, vision with action. The New Moon reflection is grounded by an exploration of Capricorn's sea-goat archetype, blending Saturnian discipline with Neptunian mysticism, and illustrated through the legacy of Alvin Ailey as an example of devotion turned into cultural architecture. The episode concludes in an intimate, ritual-lit space devoted to the Capricorn New Moon and its invitation into devotion, discipline, and long-term vision. Jeff Hinshaw is joined by composer, musician, and dancer Evan Hart Marsh for a wide-ranging conversation at the crossroads of astrology, artistry, and collaboration. Evan shares his unconventional creative path, beginning in music and movement, coming to formal dance training later than most, and ultimately weaving composition, choreography, and collaboration into a singular artistic language rooted in deep listening and care. The conversation expands into embodied listening, ritual, and mythic reflection, including a guided Mystic Meanderings journey with tarot, ancestry, and somatic imagination. Listeners are invited into Evan's recent works: a collaborative piece, ‘If You Wanna Come Closer', that channels industrial transcendence with devotional intensity; the expansive, world-building score for ‘The Ocean World, Act I' from The Little Mermaid ballet; and “A Job Well Done” from the short film Yuri; Alongside reflections on Capricorns Sade and Alvin Ailey, yoga, Ayurveda, and nature as sustaining forces, this episode closes with an invitation to honor one's foundations, tend to creative and ancestral lineages, and practice embodied listening as a ritual of self-nurturance, especially under the quiet, powerful architecture of a Capricorn New Moon.

In today's episode, I sit down with the delightful Ed Hearton (Eduardo, as I call him), a local comic who's so much more than just a man with a fantastic mustache. From his "Little Mermaid" roots in Brazil to our shared love for the "diva" lifestyle, we're exploring why some of us are just "a lot", and why that's exactly how we like it.We dive into Ed's journey through film school and the drag world, but the real mystery is why he thinks my life is a sitcom waiting to happen. Between my husband's tactical knife business and my history as a chicken judge, he might be onto something. Plus, I finally tell the full story of Sam, the plastic skeleton who got me kicked out of the Roman Coliseum and nearly landed me in federal prison over a Facebook ID check.

RENT, RETURN, REPEAT FROM THE JANUARY 2026 ISSUE OF GREEN PROFIT MAGAZINE WRITTEN BY NEIL ANDERSON NARRATED BY BILL CALKINS EXCERPT: How many times do you think Blockbuster rented out “The Little Mermaid” or “Ghostbusters” before those VHS tapes finally gave out? Probably hundreds. At roughly $4 a rental, that's about $1,200 of revenue from a $20 tape. Pretty good margin, right?

Speciaal voor de feestdagen wagen mijn beste vriend Jelle en mijn beste zus Yasmin zich aan de 'Star Wars Holiday Special' uit 1978. Een tv-special zo slecht dat bedenker George Lucas er alles aan heeft gedaan om de opname van de aardbodem te laten verdwijnen.In de uitzending maken de hoofdpersonages uit de eerste 'Star Wars' hun opwachting, maar ook iets te veel nevenpersonages die niets ter zake doen. We vieren Life Day (een soort kerst in het Star Wars-universum) bij de familie van Chewbacca op de planeet Kashyyyk. Chewie zelf is niet thuis, want ja, die is met Han Solo op missie.'Star Wars Holiday Special' is een raamvertelling in een raamvertelling, met kooktelevisie, een bar-scène in de cantina van Tatooine en een integrale tekenfilm die het verhaal van Star Wars navertelt op de intergalactische Ketnet.We bekeken de versie inclusief originele reclameblokken en journaal van CBS. We maken kennis met de zangstem van Carrie Fisher, ontdekken hoe het zit met tandheelkunde bij Wookiees en zoeken uit wie de schuld heeft aan dit misbaksel. Maar ook: wat hebben de scenaristen van deze special genomen om tot dit resultaat te komen? En we vinden een link met 'The Little Mermaid' en haar 'thingamabob'.De special is te bekijken op minder legale kanalen maar ook op archive.org. En er is zelfs een documentaire over de tv-uitzending: 'A Disturbance in the Force'. De perfecte samenvatting van dit vreemde ding.Happy Life Day!

She loved the characters, the scenery, the costumes, and most importantly, the beautiful stories that came to life before her eyes. As a teenager, Tracy joined her high school drama department and got her own taste of small stage stardom—as well as her first glimpse into the challenges that schools and community theaters face, such as limited budgets, little to no stage or storage space, and the lack of scripts for large cast sizes. Upon entering adulthood, Tracy settled into life as a wife and mother, but the theater came calling again when her husband accepted a job as a junior high drama teacher. Once again, those challenges presented themselves—little to no budget, a small stage with only a few working lights, and difficulty finding scripts with enough roles for his ever-increasing class numbers. That is when playwriting entered Tracy's life. With the start of school quickly approaching, Tracy decided to pen her first one-act play, an adaptation of O. Henry's “The Gift of the Magi”. The play was well received by the students, and Tracy decided to seek publication for the script as well as continuing to write more one-act plays and eventually full-length plays as well. Tracy now has more than two hundred published plays and skits with a number of publishers and her plays have been produced all across the country as well as internationally. When she writes a play, Tracy continues to keep in mind those challenges she recognized all those years ago on the high school stage—limited budget, small stages, and the desire to let each character shine. Tracy continues to write plays for the youth and Christian market and resides with her husband and two children in Metro Detroit.The Scene TeamJustin Borak - Host Zach Dulli - Executive Producer KJ Lampar - Producer Leah Barker - Producer & Talent CoordinatorJim Colleran - EditorAdditional music and sound effects licensed through Envato ElementsLinksBe sure to follow The Scene Podcast on Instagram and YouTubeSubscribe to The Scene NewsletterSpecial ThanksJennifer IsaacsonLauren KardosJeffery KeilholtzShow ContributorsLeah BarkerJustin BorakJim ColleranZach DulliKJ LamparTracy Wells The Scene TeamJustin Borak - Host Zach Dulli - Executive Producer KJ Lampar - Producer Leah Barker - Producer & Talent CoordinatorJim Colleran - Editor Additional music and sound effects licensed through Envato Elements LINKSBe sure to follow The Scene Podcast on Instagram and YouTubeSubscribe to The Scene Newsletter

In Appropriated Tales: Race and the Disney Fairy-Tale Mode (Wayne State UP, 2025), scholar Michelle Anya Anjirbag examines Disney's method of fairy-tale storytelling to determine how the corporation has shaped public understanding of what fairy tales are and who belongs within them. Covering a span of years "from mermaid to mermaid"—from the 1989 animated The Little Mermaid to the 2023 live-action remake starring Halle Bailey—she deconstructs and interrogates Disney's corporate commodification of multiculturalism and diversity, centering its impact on misrepresented people and cultures over the stated intentions of the producers. Further, Anjirbag demonstrates that Disney shapes childhood experiences and imagination in a way that strategically promotes American cultural imperialism. Through close film analysis, applied critical theory, and social analysis of the Disney corporation, Anjirbag unearths a new framework for studies of Disney fairy tales and how they shape popular culture.

Strap in and charge up the Mr Fusion, because this week on Born To Watch, the boys head back, forward and sideways through time with our full Back to the Future Part 2 (1989) Review. Whitey, G Man and Will settle into the DeLorean for one of the most ambitious sequels of the 1980s, breaking down timelines, hoverboards, self-lacing Nikes and all the glorious 80s optimism jammed into Robert Zemeckis' wild ride.The episode kicks off with the crew riffing on 1989 as a powerhouse movie year, then quickly dives into how Back to the Future Part 2 faced enormous expectations. With a to be continued tease at the end of the original, fans were primed, and the pressure was real. As the boys say, sequels rarely outshine their predecessors, but every now and then you get an Empire Strikes Back or a T2. So where does this one land?Whitey shares how the film was a childhood favourite, the one he rewatched the most, and how time has shifted his appreciation back to the original. Gow reveals he saw it at the cinema on release and has clocked well over 15 viewings since, instantly transported by Alan Silvestri's iconic score. Will talks about how the franchise has simply always been there, one of those movies that defined growing up.From there, the episode fires through the good, the bad and the very strange. There's deep love for the hoverboard, the power-lace Nikes, and that brilliant rooftop confrontation where Marty lures Biff over the edge before swooping up in the DeLorean. The crew gives full credit to the groundbreaking split-screen effects, the energy of Michael J. Fox juggling multiple characters, and the perfect dual performance from Fox and Christopher Lloyd, who are operating at peak one-two punch level.They also dig into the weird bits the film never fully explains. Could Old Biff actually operate the DeLorean? Why does he get sick travelling through time when no one else ever has? Why do Jennifer and Jennifer faint from seeing each other, but Biff does not? How does Marty not realise Hill Valley 1985 has turned into a dystopian biker slum the moment he steps out of the car?From Jaws 19 to the brilliant Jaws VHS window cameo, from Indiana Jones nods to manure trucks, the boys unpack every Easter egg this film throws at you. And of course, there's a big chat about whether Biff Tannen's alternate 1985 persona is really just 80s Donald Trump in a green tracksuit. (Spoiler, yes.)The episode also dives into box office numbers, casting trivia, Elizabeth Shue stepping in as Jennifer, and some cracking tangents, including Huey Lewis, yacht rock, Stranger Things, The Little Mermaid, and even John Farnham fronting LRB.By the time the boys reach question time, they've covered everything from the butterfly effect through to whether a single rich bloke can really break the fabric of time. It's pure Born To Watch chaos, big laughs and deep nostalgia for one of the great sequels of our generation.If you love time travel, manure trucks and three blokes talking absolute cinematic nonsense, make sure you follow Born To Watch on Spotify and Apple. Drop us a five-star review, send us a voicemail at borntowatch.com.au and buckle up for the next kickass credit song from the House Band.

In this book, she recalls her time hanging out with Anthony Russo, who along with Daniel Ellsberg, was responsible for The Pentagon Papers, in San Francisco in 1974 and then a few months later, in New York, capturing the vibe of what it was like to live in that time and place, and differences between then and now. Complete Interview. Wes Craven (1939-2015): Master of Horror Movies. Wes Craven (1939-2015), noted director of horror and genre films, interviewed by Richard Wolinsky and Richard A. Lupoff on October 13, 1999 while on tour for his one novel, “Fountain Society.” Wes Craven, who died at the age of 76 on August 30, 2015, was considered one of the masters of cinema's horror genre. Best known for The Nightmare on Elm Street and Scream films, ,He was best known for two series of films, the Nightmare on Elm Street films, and the Scream series, which also served as an academic deconstruction of the genre. Starting life as a humanities professor, Wes Craven moved over to film as first a sound editor, and then film editor before turning to writing and directing with The Last House on the Left. Along with the first Nightmare film (and the deconstruction last New Nightmare entry), he directed all four Scream films, along with Red Eye, Cursed, The Serpent and the Rainbow, and the non-genre Meryl Streep vehicle, Music of the Heart. His first and only novel, “Fountain Society,” was published in 1999, and it was during his book tour that he stopped by KPFA where he was interviewed by Richard Wolinsky and Richard A. Lupoff.

Submitted for your approval… Tonight, we bring you truly one of the most bizarre and unhinged films we've ever covered on this podcast. The subject: Xuxa, a musical entertainer who captured the hearts and minds of Brazilian children everywhere in the late 1980s, including the imagination, decades later, of one Ryan Caldwell. But what Mr. Caldwell and his unsuspecting video store coworkers are about to discover - much to their horror - is that children's entertainment in Brazil is a little different than it is in the States… The film is Super Xuxa Vs Satan, and it comes to you from the Demented Kids section, located in the deepest, darkest regions…of Apocalypse Video. I'm your host, Dave, and joining me as we enter a world filled with filth covered sewer dwellers and talking pink dolphins are fellow cinephiles and recovering down mood's Mike and Ryan. Topics of discussion in this episode include the wild origin story of Xuxa, from her years as a Playboy Playmate to “Queen of Children”; we learn that Orange is the color of Positivity; and finally, we find out that while Super Xuxa may just be a Labyrinth ripoff, it may have actually originated “Under the Sea” a whole year before The Little Mermaid. Be sure to rate, review and subscribe wherever you get your podcasts. You can also Like Us on Facebook, or shoot us an email at apocalypsevideopod@gmail.com That'll do it for this deeply unsettling look into late 80s Brazilian kids entertainment. Remember kids, be positive! And don't let the Down Mood get ya down! Note: This episode was recorded before October, but due to a certain co-host leaving with the audio tapes and going on extended PTO overseas, the episode was unavailable to release prior to Vamptober. This individual - whose name rhymes with Schmichael - has been docked a week's pay and will be subjected to audio torture, via prolonged exposure to Xuxa's end credits theme song.
Bookwaves/Artwaves is produced and hosted by Richard Wolinsky.

The author of five short story collections and two works of non-fiction, including a memoir, she has only written five novels since she debuted in 1997 with Love Invents Us. She would be interviewed again on Bookwaves for her third novel, Lucky Us, Her most recent novel, I'll Be Right Here, was published in June 2025.

This is the second Christina Iverson - Scott Hogan collaboration, and the first NYTimes crossword ever to include WORCESTERSHIRE as an answer. It usually takes us several takes before we can pronounce the word, and even more before we can spell it. We enjoyed 52A, Copenhagen's "The Little Mermaid", for one, STATUE (which for all the attention it gets, is surprisingly short); we had a blast from the (very recent) past, 53D, "You talkin' _______?", TOME; and finally 33D, "I so did not need to hear that!", EWW (not, as we originally surmised, TMI);Show note imagery: The Little Mermaid, in all her The-Little-Mermaid-iousness of it all.We love feedback!

Set as far under the sea as this story by Hans Christian Andersen is from the animated versions, this telling of the original fish-out-of-water fairy tale has a darker, lesser-known side.

You're listening to Burnt Toast! I'm Virginia Sole-Smith. You're listening to Burnt Toast. I'm Virginia Sole-Smith. Today, my conversation is with Kaila Yu. Kaila is an author based in Los Angeles. Her debut memoir, Fetishized: A Reckoning with Yellow Fever, Feminism, and Beauty, came out earlier this fall to a rave review in The New York Times. She's also a luxury travel and culture writer with bylines in The New York Times, Rolling Stone, The LA Times, Condé Nast Traveler and many more. Kaila's memoir grapples with her experience growing up Asian and female in a world that has so many stereotypes and expectations about both those things. We talk about the pressure to perform so many different kinds of specific beauty labor, the experience of being objectified sexually —and we really get into how we all navigate the dual reality of hating beauty standards and often feeling safer and happier complying with them. I learned so much from this book, and this conversation with Kaila.

The Speaking and Storytelling Podcast: for Christ-led Entrepreneurs + Leaders
Have you been working on a talk, a message, or a project that you know God has placed on your heart—but everything seems to get in the way? There's a reason it feels hard to speak truth and share light in the world. The enemy knows the power your voice holds. And if he can't destroy your calling, he'll do everything he can to distract, discourage, or silence you. Using the story of The Little Mermaid as a powerful metaphor, I share why the enemy targets your voice—and how to discern whether what you're facing is simply mindset and skill-building or true spiritual warfare. You'll learn:How to recognize when your resistance may be spiritual in naturePractical and spiritual ways to protect and strengthen your voiceWhy prayer, discernment, and obedience are your greatest defensesThe truth about what God asks of those He calls to speakThis conversation will remind you that your voice matters, your message is sacred, and you are never fighting alone.Now I'd love to hear from you! What's one thing you learned and how will you take action today? Let me know by: leaving the show a review. or sending me an email at info@emanuelahall.com YOUR NEXT STEPS:

Show Notes We're really cooking now - but not fricasse - with The Little Mermaid. Entering their renaissance, Disney brings us to the ocean and a sanitized version of Hans Christian Anderson, no walking on knives or turning into sea foam, but we do get a rocking soundtrack and a spectacular villain. And the another bland prince in true bland prince form.

Show Notes What if Oliver Twist with dogs. And Billy Joel of course.

For the more casual observers of popular culture, Halle Bailey may only register as Ariel in the 2023 The Little Mermaid remake, but the more discerning know that this young artist has been doing the hard work, alongside her sister Chloe, since she was barely out of diapers. She excels in music - she and her sister have garnered five Grammy nominations and count Beyonce as their mentor - as well as acting, but one area of her life that maybe isn't up to her high standards is her love life, which lately includes a bitter split from ex-boyfriend and her baby's daddy, rapper and YouTuber DDG.
