McKay explores Dolly Parton's philosophy of ‘finding the God-light in everyone' as a transformative leadership discipline. He argues that choosing to see potential rather than faults is a practical way to inspire growth and redirect lives.Our host highlights how belief in others alters history through the stories of Louis Armstrong, Walt Disney, and Abraham Lincoln. Detailing Nelson Mandela's healing of South Africa and John Wooden's UCLA coaching, McKay demonstrates that by applying the Pygmalion effect and defending the absent, listeners can foster trust and move beyond automatic negative thinking.Main Themes: Dolly Parton's "God light" philosophy The Pygmalion Effect on performance Lincoln's "Team of Rivals" strategy Louis Armstrong's reform school start Walt Disney and the power of affirmation Defending the absent to build character Mandela's use of rugby to unite a nation Overcoming self-centered "default settings" John Wooden's shame-free coaching Belief as a practical leadership strategyTop 10 Quotes:"I try to find the God-light in everybody.""If you see someone without a smile, give them yours.""Human nature tends to notice faults first.""When people are seen as capable, they often become more capable.""If you humiliate people, they resist; if you honor people, they change.""When you defend those who are absent, you retain the trust of those present.""Seeing the good in others is a discipline, not a feeling.""Remembering everyone is good makes a meaningful life possible.""Correct what can be improved, not what is wrong with you.""Seeing good in someone can redirect an entire life."Show Links:Open Your Eyes with McKay Christensen

I början av 1920-talet blev stadsdelen Harlem i New York epicentrum för en kulturell guldålder. Med nyskapande jazz, konst och litteratur erövrade svarta amerikaner en egen identitet, självständig från slaveriets långa skuggor och det vita Amerikas rasistiska stereotyper. Rösterna av musiker som Louis Armstrong och Billie Holiday, intellektuella som William Du Bois och författare som Langston Hughes och Zora Neale Hurston skulle höras långt utanför USA:s gränser. Vad tände gnistan till denna intellektuella och konstnärliga blomstring? Vilka är rörelsens viktigaste förgrundsfigurer och vad gick deras idéer ut på? Vilken betydelse fick konstnärerna och författarna i den pågående medborgarrättskampen? Och vad kan Harlemrenässansen lära oss idag? Litteraturvetarna Lena Ahlin och Judith Kiros gästar Bildningspodden. Samtalsledare: Ruhi Tyson Ljudteknik och klippning: Lars in de Betou Producent och redaktör: Magnus Bremmer Bildningspodden är en del av Anekdot – det digitala bildningsmagasinet, producerat på Humanistiska fakulteten vid Stockholms universitet, finansierat av Kungl.

The GURU is back after a few weeks off. There has been some very hard times, but we are getting through this rough stretch. The New York Knicks will play the San Antonio Spurs after a thrilling game seven, ousting the defending World Champs, the Oklahoma City Thunder. The GURU is going with the Spurs in 7. My Vegas Golden Knights are heading back to the Stanley Cup Finals against the Carolina Hurricanes, after shocking the Colorado Avalanche in four straight. The GURU Is going with the VGK in 7. There has been several people that we had to say goodbye to, but the Saxophone genius, one of the last great jazz musicians of our time has left us. Sonny Rollins was no doubt, one of the last greats that made jazz one of the greatest art forms in music history. He was legendary in every sense of the word. When we take a look back and mention the greats, Coltrane, Miles Davis, Charlie Parker, Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, Dexter Gordon, Sonny Rollins has to be considered in the top tier of greats. At 95 years old, he was the last of era gone by. This episode is dedicated to him. We will be back next week with Episode 316, enjoy the rest of your Sports Weekend and be safe.

Photography Historian and Curator Audrey Sands joins PhotoWork with Sasha Wolf to discuss her book, Lisette Model: The Jazz Pictures (Eakins Press Foundation). Drawing on years of research, Sands presents Lisette Model's rarely seen archive of photographs of 1950s jazz legends, including Louis Armstrong, Billie Holiday, Duke Ellington, Percy Heath, Miles Davis, and Dizzy Gillespie. Sands and Wolf discuss the rise of fine art photography as a collectible medium in the latter half of the 20th century, the role of museums and institutions in shaping the narrative of photographic history, and the role of the historian in editing and interpreting an artist's work posthumously. https://harvardartmuseums.org/about/press-media/audrey-sands-appointed-associate-curator-of-photography-at-the-harvard-art-museums https://www.instagram.com/audreyleesands/  Audrey Sands is a historian of photography and curator who specializes in twentieth-century American photography.. She holds a Ph.D. and M.Phil. in the History of Art from Yale University, an M.St. in the History of Art and Visual Culture from the University of Oxford, and a B.A. in Art History from Barnard College. Since February 2025, Sands has served as the Richard L. Menschel Associate Curator of Photography at the Harvard Art Museums, where she oversees a collection of approximately 75,000 photographs and time-based media ranging from the early 19th century to the present. Her appointment followed a postdoctoral fellowship as Andrew W. Mellon Postdoctoral Curatorial Fellow in the Department of Photographs at the National Gallery of Art, Washington, D.C. (2022–25), during which she contributed to the exhibitions Gordon Parks: Camera Portraits from the Corcoran Collection (2024–25) and the multi-venue Photography and the Black Arts Movement, 1955–1985 (2025–26). Prior to the NGA, from 2019 to 2022, Sands held the Norton Family Assistant Curator of Photography position at the Center for Creative Photography (CCP), University of Arizona—a joint appointment with Phoenix Art Museum—where her exhibitions included Freedom Must Be Lived: Marion Palfi's America, 1940–1978 (2021–22) and Farewell Photography: The Hitachi Collection of Postwar Japanese Photographs, 1961–1989 (2022). Earlier curatorial positions include the Department of Photographs at The Museum of Modern Art, the National Gallery of Art, and the J. Paul Getty Museum. Sands has been the lead scholar on the work of photographer Lisette Model for over a decade, beginning with her Yale dissertation, “Lisette Model and the Inward Turn of Photographic Modernism.” Her most recent publication, Lisette Model: The Jazz Pictures (Eakins Press Foundation, 2025), realized a suppressed collaboration between Model and Langston Hughes that had been shelved during the McCarthy era, publishing for the first time nearly 200 of Model's approximately 1,500 jazz negatives alongside Hughes's original essay and new scholarship by Sands. Her ongoing research on flash photography—supported by a 2021 Curatorial Research Fellowship from the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts—is developing toward a publication and exhibition titled The Shape of Light: History, Ethics, and Aesthetics of Flash Photography.

Three summers ago when Charlie Bowen took his first tremulous steps into the world of banjocity, he bought a six-string banjo … and immediately got grief.“That ain't no banjo!” one friend declared. “That's just a guitar with delusions of grandeur. You can play dress it up all you want, man, but you're not playing a banjo.”“Okay, now, wait a minute,” Charlie protested. “If a banjo's got four strings, it's a banjo, right?”“Sure,” the friend conceded. “That's a tenor banjo, like the late, great Chuck Romine used to play.”“And if it has five strings, it's a banjo?”“Well, of course. That's God's own old-time and bluegrass banjo.”“But,” Charlie persisted, “if it's got six stings, it's NOT a banjo?!”“Nope,” the friend insisted. “You can call it a ‘banjitar' if you'd like or ‘ganjo,' but don't be calling it a banjo.”“You know what, old buddy?” Charlie concluded. “You are a banjo bigot!”But despite his brave front, Bowen finally caved to the peer pressure. The six-string banjo (which by then he had lovingly christened “Buzzkill”) was retired to a lonely closet. In its place Charlie bought his first five-string and began to learn tunes.Truth be told, Bowen has fallen in love with the instrument, practicing every day, even starting to work the five-string into a corner of The Flood's repertoire on a song or two (or three…).Schooled by Seva VenetBy the beginning of this year, Buzzkill had been pretty much forgotten. That is, until last month when Charlie and Pamela traveled to New Orleans for a wonderful Road Scholar program built around the annual French Quarter Festival, four solid days of memorable music.A highlight the whole long weekend was when legendary clarinetist Dr. Michael White played a private concert for the Road Scholar folks at their hotel. Sitting in with White's quartet that morning was renowned New Orleanian Seva Venet, who was holding down the rhythm section with his six-string Vega banjo.During the intermission, Charlie chatted with Venet, who said that he was quite aware of how provincial some banjo fanciers could be. However, Seva said, the six-string banjo has a proud legacy all its own. In fact, the banjo of choice for most players of early jazz and blues was the six-string.Johnny St. Cyr, he noted, famously played his six-string in Louis Armstrong's Hot Five and Hot Seven groups as well as with Jelly Roll Morton's various ensembles. Legendary New Orleanian Danny Barker and early bluesman Papa Charlie Jackson also played the six. Even jazz superstar Django Reinhardt started out playing a six-string banjo in the dance halls of Paris, long before he cemented his legacy as the pioneer of the gypsy jazz guitar.The secret to playing the instrument, Seva said, is that, while it is tuned like a guitar, it's not played like one. Don't pick it like a guitar, he said, but play it high on the neck where the slapped chords can sing out. And, like his hero Danny Barker, Venet likes to add color to his chords by playing 6ths and 9ths and other variations on the usual banjo choices.Buzzkill Bounces BackInspired by hearing and watching Seva Venet play that morning, Charlie came home from the New Orleans Road Scholar outing eager to bring Buzzkill out of the retirement, especially on The Flood's old hokum tunes like this week's podcast selection, “Tear It Down.”As noted earlier in Flood Watch, a lot of the hokum tunes that The Flood has always loved were born far to the south of us, in place like Memphis and New Orleans. So it's always a treat to find a song that grew a little closer to home. This tune traces back to a youngster named Bob Coleman — Kid Cole, they called him — from the west side of Cincinnati. It was 98 years ago this very month that Bob recorded it in Chicago. More Hokum?Finally, if more hokum music is what you need to make your Flood Friday complete, remember we've got a whole channel waiting for you on the free Radio Floodango music steaming service.Just drop in and click the “Hokum” button or, better yet, take the express route by clicking this link to jump to it directly.

Hello to you listening in Desert Hot Springs, California! Coming to you from Whidbey Island, Washington this is Stories From Women Who Walk with 60 Seconds for Wednesdays on Whidbey and your host, Diane Wyzga. Recently a friend told me how she felt like a failure because the job she had she didn't want and the job she wanted she didn't get. Now what?   What if we choose to look at the lost job opportunity as an experiment that didn't produce the expected results.  Does that mean it failed? No. What if we look at the result as information pointing you in a better direction. Dr. Jonas Salk once said, “There is no such thing as a failed experiment, because learning what doesn't work is a necessary step to learning what does.” Or, as the famous American jazz musician Louis Armstrong said, “It's taken me all my life to learn what not to play.”   Practical Tip: Think of a time when you believed you had failed but with a little persistence turned the result into an unexpected opportunity. How did you do it? I believe it's because you've got what it takes to experiment! You're always welcome: "Come for the stories - Stay for the magic!" Speaking of magic, I hope you'll subscribe, share a 5-star rating and nice review on your social media or podcast channel of choice, bring your friends and rellies, and join us!

Eddie is hitting Hawaiʻi Island for the upcoming Big Island Jazz and Blues Festival, performing May 16th, at the Mauna Kea Beach Hotel. Eddie has a pretty wild background — as a medical doctor, as a guy who had Louis Armstrong and Miles Davis factor into his childhood experiences, and of course, ended up as part of the band with Herbie Hancock, among other chapters in his fascinating life. We explore it in this fun conversation ahead of his return to Hawaiʻi.

Es curioso que uno de los trompetistas latinos más cotizados en EU y con más de 52 discos grabados en todo su historial dedicado a la música sea tan desconocido Se llama ARTURO SANDOVAL. Ha sido nominado a los Premios Grammy en 17 oasiones y se le han concedido en 9 ocasiones.El trompetista de jazz DIZZY GILLESPIE, en una actuación en La Habana, le subió al escenario y le presentó como el LOUIS ARMSTRONG cubano Es lógico que le dediquemos este programa.

It's a short one for episode #733 of Have You Ever Seen, as I discuss Anthony Mann's biopic about the best-selling bandleader from the '30s & '40s. Smash hits Moonlight Serenade & In The Mood are Glenn Miller's 2 most-recognizable songs, tunes you'll know the minute you hear them. This is a straight-ahead "based on real people" movie (including his loving wife, Helen), but Mann, who often worked with James Stewart in this era, was an underrated director. And while Jimmy has OFTEN come up on this podcast, this is a first for June Allyson...and we also have a memorable cameo by the great trumpeter Louis Armstrong. So, honestly, take a listen to my sentimental review of the sentimental Glenn Miller Story.

(01:33) Gaza moet het model worden voor een grondoperatie in Libanon, dat zei de Israëlische defensieminister Katz afgelopen week. Het roept herinneringen op aan de eerdere bezetting van Zuid-Libanon, tussen 1982 en 2000. Antropologe en Israël-kenner Erella Grassiani van de UvA legt uit hoe en waarom de Israëlische samenleving opnieuw lijkt mee te gaan in deze oorlogsretoriek.  (15:59) Er lopen inheemse Amerikanen rond met namen als 'De Vries' en 'De Groot', leerde  Journaalpresentator Simone Weimans. Zij reisde voor haar nieuwe serie Simone en de Roofstaat van Omroep ZWART naar New York, Brazilië, Zuid-Afrika en Indonesië, en is bij OVT om onbekende verhalen uit het Nederlandse koloniale verleden uit te diepen.  (28:27) De oude Egyptenaren konden niet alleen piramides bouwen en vorsten mummificeren. Ze hadden ook een rijke schrijftraditie, uitgestrekt over meer dan dertig eeuwen. Veel van deze verhalen, gedichten en persoonlijke geschriften zijn nooit eerder naar het Nederlands vertaald. Tot de nieuwe bloemlezing Schrijven voor de Farao van Hans D. Schneider, die wordt besproken door Egyptoloog Daniel Soliman van het Rijksmuseum van Oudheden.  (39:21) Vakbonden hadden lang nauwelijks oog voor arbeidsmigranten, terwijl die juist de drijvende kracht bleken achter succesvolle stakingen. Stakingshistorica Rosa Kösters promoveerde op de onderbelichte rol van zelforganisatie in de Nederlandse arbeidersbeweging en is te gast.  (52:35) Surinaamse matrozen die muzikant werden, een Joodse trompettiste, Jamaicaanse pianisten, en zelfs Louis Armstrong waren te vinden in het Amsterdam van de jaren dertig — een stad in diepe economische crisis, onder de schaduw van het opkomende fascisme. Onderzoeker Mark Ponte maakte Jazz-jaren over de vergeten jazzscène van de jaren dertig, nu te zien in Stadsarchief Amsterdam.  (01:11:32) OVT Doc: Over oude apparaten die niet sterven  Waren handmixers, stofzuigers en radio's vroeger robuuster en beter dan nu? Iedereen heeft daar wel anekdotisch bewijs voor in huis; de elektrische boor die nog van opa was, of een cassetterecorder die al vijftig jaar braaf zijn rondjes draait. Maar wat zeggen de experts die heden en verleden met elkaar kunnen vergelijken?  Met: Martine Postma, oprichter van de Repair Cafés waar jaarlijks een miljoen kapotte apparaten worden nagekeken, van stokoud tot nog gloednieuw.  De Duitse filosoof Gabriel Yoran, auteur van het boek: Waarom je nieuwe mixer kapot gaat en die van je oma het nog steeds doet:Over de verrotzooiing van de wereld.  Kris de Decker van online Low-tech Magazine, een magazine dat draait op zonne-energie en alleen online is als de Spaanse zon schijnt. Hij breekt een lans voor het herontdekken van oude, beproefde maar vergeten technieken.  En de apparaten zelf laten van zich horen, met in een glansrol de zowat antieke stofzuiger van Simon Vestdijk.  Over de maker: Marten Minkema (1968), is schrijvend journalist en radiomaker/podcastmaker voor de VPRO, en werkt voor musea en culturele projecten.  Meer info: https://www.vpro.nl/ovt/artikelen/ovt-5-april-2026   (https://www.vpro.nl/ovt/artikelen/ovt-5-april-2026%20 )

In this episode of The Music in Me, I'm taking you on a journey through the world of jazz—one of the most powerful and influential genres in music history. From its beginnings in New Orleans to the legendary artists who shaped its sound, I explore how jazz became a voice for expression, creativity, and emotion. We'll talk about icons like Louis Armstrong, Duke Ellington, and Ella Fitzgerald, along with unforgettable songs that helped define the genre. I also dive into how jazz evolved over time—from swing and big band to bebop and beyond—and how its influence can still be heard in music today. Whether you're a lifelong jazz fan or just curious about the genre, this episode is all about discovering the heart and soul of jazz and why it still matters.JAZZ ARTISTS AND SONGS MENTIONED...Louis Armstrong - "What a Wonderful World"Duke Ellingtion - "Take the 'A' Train"Benny Goodman (King of Swing) - "Sing, Sing, Sing"Ella FitzgeraldCount Basie - "It Don't Mean a Thing (If It Ain't Got That Swing"Charlie ParkerMiles Davis - "So What"Thelonious Monk - "Round Midnight"Billie Holiday - "Strange Fruit"Sarah Vaughan Nina Simone - "Feeling Good"ARTISTS INFLUENCED BY JAZZ...Amy WhinehouseNora JonesKendrick LamarWhat did you think of this episode?

When singer Janis Siegel was invited to help produce a Women's History Month event at the United Nations, everything seemed aligned—until she was told, just days before, that she would not be allowed to speak. She had been flagged for her social media posts. Here she reflects on that moment and what it reveals about a broader cultural shift. Drawing on conversations about jazz, democracy, memory, and fear—and voices ranging from Louis Armstrong to Milan Kundera—this piece explores how authoritarianism doesn't arrive all at once, but quietly, through hesitation and self-censorship. At a time when voices are still rising in protest, the question remains: what happens when speaking starts to feel like a risk? www.leosidran.substack.com

Thelonious Monk Plays Duke Ellington: The musicians on this album were already legends when it came out in 1955. Each of them completely reinvented how people play their instruments. Drummer Kenny Clarke: the originator of so much of modern drumming language. Bass player Oscar Pettiford: possibly the greatest bass soloist in the history of the instrument. And then there's Monk, one of the singular greatest pianists of all time. And here they are playing the music of Duke Ellington: an untouchable legend. The result is an album that brought Monk's genius to the masses. And it may just be one of his best. In this LIVE episode of You'll Hear It, jazz pianists Adam Maness and Peter Martin break down this remarkable moment in music history, playing Monk's interpretations next to Duke's originals. If you've never really got Monk, this album is your gateway into his music.

Recorded at the Art Papers Fire Ecology Symposium, Atlanta Atlanta artist Michi Meko joins Duncan MacKenzie and Brian Andrews during Art Papers' symposium weekend for a wide-ranging conversation that moves from southern port cities and landscape painting to pandemic solitude, mental health, and the strange spiritual work of making art. Meko discusses his exhibition So Black and So Blue, a body of work developed between New Orleans and Savannah that reflects on color, history, and the charged atmosphere of southern coastal landscapes. Working with shimmering surfaces, deep blues, blacks, and gilded frames, the paintings operate between abstraction and landscape. They draw viewers into spaces that feel both cosmic and terrestrial, somewhere between daybreak and nightfall. The works are designed to be experienced in person, where layers of marks, reflective materials, and shifting color create movement and depth impossible to capture in photographs. The conversation expands into the tension between hard-edge abstraction and expressive mark-making. Meko describes his earlier work using nautical signal flags as coded language about survival and buoyancy in America, while also poking at the seriousness of modernist abstraction. From there, the group debates the emotional power of painting, touching on artists like Mark Rothko and Ellsworth Kelly, asking what makes a work spiritually or emotionally resonant and why some paintings leave viewers cold. A major turning point in Meko's practice came during the COVID-19 shutdown. When Atlanta closed down, he packed his car with camping gear and disappeared into the mountains, spending long stretches alone hiking, fishing, and writing. The period became a personal reckoning. He stopped painting entirely, turned inward, and began confronting anxieties and habits that had previously gone unexamined. Through solitude and outdoor wandering, he reframed landscape not as scenery but as a metaphor for the inner terrain of the mind. When Meko eventually returned to the studio, that experience reshaped his work. The paintings that emerged began to reflect internal states rather than external views. Horizons divide mind and body. Shimmering skies become metaphors for thought and anxiety. Dense fields of mark-making hold viewers inside the work, drawing them in and out of the image in a restless visual rhythm. Throughout the conversation, Meko reflects on the strange transformation that can occur through isolation, describing the experience of leaving society and returning "a little feral, a little monk-like," carrying new perspectives about art, masculinity, therapy, and the ways people search for healing. What emerges is a portrait of an artist navigating between wilderness and studio, darkness and wonder, abstraction and landscape. For Meko, painting becomes both exploration and survival, a way of mapping the landscapes inside ourselves.

McDonald.'NOLA: An Interactive Street Performing Experience.'     Before embarking on my street performing tour of the U.S., one aspect I said I would investigate on the road was how influencial setting is for creating music.     Admittedly, this question was buried under piles of other questions that surfaced during my earlier stops, D.C., Nashville, Asheville and Atlanta. But that changed once I arrived in New Orleans.     Music and culture ' especially along Royal Street ' ooze from NOLA's pores, pumping through its streets as if the heart of all music can be found somewhere within the veins of the French Quarter. It is New Orleans, after all, that mothered music greats ranging from Louis Armstrong and Fats Domino to Lil Wayne. And that variety is not accidental ' it's part of NOLA's appeal.     On one street you may walk into an impromptu jazz ensemble performance, complete with an upright bass, saxophone player and a singer throwing out some hot scats. Five blocks down, you could stumble upon a high-energy brass group filled with trumpets, trombones and a tuba. Not to mention the multiple solo acts scattered throughout NOLA's streets at all hours of the day and night.     One factor that makes NOLA an ideal street performing city is the layout. The Quarter's tight streets, filled with sheltered sidewalks due to the vast amounts of layered decks, create a rich acoustic experience for buskers. The sound stays contained from having a ceiling of sorts, which then bounces off the parallel building in full circle. This week in Louisiana history. March 13, 1815. Gen. Andrew Jackson declares the end of martial law in New Orleans at the end of War of 1812. This week in New Orleans history. The City Park property was famous as a dueling ground long before it was a park ' more Affaires d'honneur were fought in New Orleans than in any other American city. They resulted from serious affronts, petty insults, or deliberate confrontations for the sole purpose of displaying fencing skills. Weapons of choice included swords, sabers, pistols, rifles, even bare hands. During the 1800s a series of duels were fought between fencing masters ' the most famous, Spaniard Pepe Llula was known as a duelist who met any man with any weapon. Times-Democrat on March 13, 1892, reported, "Between 1834 and 1844 scarcely a day passed without duels being fought at the Oaks'. Dueling had been outlawed two years before under the death penalty (if a death resulted) but it was seldom enforced.  This week in Louisiana.

Jazz records from the 1930s and 40s that are longer than usual for the time.  Music includes: Sing Sing Sing by Benny Goodman, Concerto For Clairnet by Artie Shaw and Do You Know What It means to Miss New Orleans? by Louis Armstrong.

The Harlem Renaissance was a vibrant 1920s-1930s Black cultural movement centered in Harlem, a hub for African American creativity, literature (Langston Hughes, Zora Neale Hurston), music (jazz, blues), and art (Aaron Douglas), fueled by the Great Migration and a desire to redefine Black identity that forged a new sense of Black Pride. In this program, we hear less well known artists such as James (“Big Jim”) Reese Europe who led an orchestra of 120 musicians. We also hear iconic songs of the era including Fats Waller's “Ain't Misbehavin'”, Mamie Smith's massive 1920 hit “Crazy Blues,” Cab Colloway's “St. James Infirmary” and more. Along the way, we'll enjoy the Fletcher Henderson Orchestra featuring Louis Armstrong on trumpet and vocals and Coleman Hawkins on sax, Ethel Waters, James P. Johnson, and Willie the Lion Smith. Harlem also drew the top Cuban orchestras who came to New York by steamship to record, calyso singers, and Haitian vodou music and theater. Harlem was famous for its rent parties and a wide open attitude to defying Prohibition where revelers danced to the shimmy, the black bottom, and the Charleston from down south. Relive the glory!

James L. Brooks (Ella McCay, The Simpsons, Taxi) is an Emmy, Golden Globe, and Academy Award-winning screenwriter, director, and producer. James joins the Armchair Expert to discuss being an industrious high school reporter interviewing Louis Armstrong and Anne Bancroft, his lucky break as a studio page bringing Edward R. Murrow coffee, and co-creating the Mary Tyler Moore Show with Alan Burns. James and Dax talk about why there's no better job in the world than on a television show that's working, seeing Andy Kaufman perform as the vile Tony Clifton for the first time, and that he thinks you go legally insane when directing. James explains what it was like giving notes to Jack Nicholson, starting The Simpsons which is still the longest-running scripted show in history, and what makes a contemporary female heroine in his new screwball comedy Ella McCay.Follow Armchair Expert on the Wondery App or wherever you get your podcasts.
