Podcast appearances and mentions of Mario Lanza

Paul Harvey - Mario Lanza 

To my podcast family:   There's a Christmas memory that has revisited me for nearly 35 years.  I have always felt an urge to share the story, but couldn't, because it's so personal.  I consulted with my wife Mary, and she gave her blessing.      Barry Lee   

Considered one of the greatest operatic tenors of all time, the singer and actor sold half a million records and starred in a number of hit movies in a career that was suddenly cut short by death.

EPISODE 56 - “MARJORIE REYNOLDS: CLASSIC CINEMA STAR OF THE MONTH” - 10/07/2024 Most film fanatics agree that after the Paramount Picture's holiday classic “Holiday Inn” (1942), actress MARJORIE REYNOLDS, who gave a star-turn as struggling actress Linda Mason who gets a break singing and dancing in the seasonal nightclub run by BING CROSBY, should have been a big star. However, for reasons not quite clear, she didn't rise into the stratosphere. While she had a very respectable and long career, she just didn't soar to the top, as expected. As our Star of the Month, we will take a look into Marjorie Reynolds' life and career and explore our theories on why “Holiday Inn” did not make her a major star.  SHOW NOTES:  Sources: Christmas In the Movies (2023), by Jeremy Arnold; Whatever Became of…10th Series (1986), by Richard Lamparski; My Heart Belongs (1976), by Mary Martin; Scarlet Fever (1977), by William Pratt (including the collection of Herb Bridges); The Film Lovers Companion (1997), by David Quinlan; Biography of Marjorie Reynolds, July 25, 1942, Paramount Pictures;  “Super Cinderella,” November 1942, by William Lynch value, Silver Screen magazine; “Marjorie's Horse Comes In,” November 7, 1942, by Kyle Crichton, Collier's Magazine; Versatility Pays Off for Marjorie Reynolds,” March 10, 1944, by Hedda Hopper, Los Angeles, Times; “Divorce Plans Discussed by Miss Reynolds,” July 23, 1951, by Hedda Hopper, Los Angeles, Times; “Marjorie Reynolds to Be Wed to Film Editor,” May 16, 1952, Los Angeles, Times; “Marjorie Reynolds Weds Film Editor,” May 18, 1953, The Sedalia Democrat (Missouri); “Marjorie Reynolds: Sixty Years in the Film Business,” April 1984, by Colin Briggs, Hollywood Studio Magazine; “Marjorie Reynolds, 79, Actress, In Classic Films and on Television,” February 16, 1997, The New York Times; TCM.com; IMDBPro.com; IBDB.com; Wikipedia.com; Movies Mentioned:  Holiday Inn (1942), starring Bing Crosby, Fred Astaire, Marjorie Reynolds, & Virginia Dale; Wine, Women, and Song (1933), starring Lilyan Tashman; Murder In Greenwich Village (1937), starring Richard Arlen & Fay Wray; Tex Rides With The Boy Scouts (1937), starring Tex Ritter; The Overland Express (1938), starring Buck Jones; Western Trails (1938), starring Bob Baker; Six Shootin' Sheriff (1938), starring Ken Maynard; Star Spangled Rhythm (1942), starring Bob Hope, Bing Crosby, Dorothy Lamour, Veronica Lake, & Alan Ladd; Dixie (1943), starring Bing Crosby & Dorothy Lamour; Up In Mabel's Room (1944), starring Dennis O'Keefe & Gail Patrick; Ministry of Fear (1944), starring Ray Milland; Three Is A Family (1944), starring Charles Ruggles & Fay Bainter; Bring On The Girls (1945), starring Veronica Lake & Eddie Bracken; Monsieur Beaucaire (1946), starring Bob Hope & Joan Caulfield; The Time Of Their Lives (1946), starring Bud Abbott & Lou Costello; Meet Me On Broadway (1946), starring Fred Brady & Spring Byington; Heaven Only Knows (1947), Bob Cummings & Brian Donlevy; Badmen of Tombstone (1949), starring Barry Sullivan & Broderick Crawford; That Midnight Kiss (1949), starring Mario Lanza & Kathryn Grayson; The Great Jewel Robber (1950), starring David Brian; Home Town Story (1951), starring Jeffry Lynn, Alan Hale Jr, & Marilyn Monroe; Models, Inc (1952), starring Howard Duff & Coleen Gray; His Kind of Woman (1951), starring Robert Mitchum, Jane Russell, & Vincent Price; The Silent Witness (1962), starring Tristram Coffin & George Kennedy; Pearl (1978), starring Angie Dickinson, Dennis Weaver, & Robert Wagner; --------------------------------- http://www.airwavemedia.com Please contact sales@advertisecast.com if you would like to advertise on our podcast.

With one week remaining in the 2024 MLB regular season, the Seattle Sports Guy and creator of The Funny 115, Mario Lanza, returns to the Jack Vita Show to discuss the Seattle Mariners' season and the latest trends within the game of baseball. Mario and Jack also take a broader look at the sport, from a national perspective. Mario is one the most knowledgeable Seattle sports fans on the planet. Each year, Mario leaves us a voice message, providing a detailed outlook for the coming Mariners' season, in our AL West Preview show. And each year, Mario has a generally positive outlook entering the season. He's remained quite patient and rational, even while the M's have just barely missed the postseason two of the last three seasons. It appears Mario's patience has run out, however. Find out why this is one of Mario's least favorite Mariners teams of his lifetime. Sunday, the Mariners held a four-run lead over the Texas Rangers entering the bottom of the sixth inning. The M's blew a 4-0 lead, falling to the Rangers 6-5, and squandering an opportunity to move up in the American League Wild Card standings. Both teams in front of the M's in the AL Wild Card standings — the Kansas City Royals and Minnesota Twins — lost on Sunday. With six games left, Seattle is two games back of the Royals for the final AL Wild Card spot. The Mariners are still very much alive, but they have their work cut out for them this week. Three teams from the AL Central sit in front of the Mariners in the Wild Card standings, and all three of them can thank the Chicago White Sox for part of their success this season. Both the Royals and Twins are 12-1 versus the lowly South Siders in 2024, and the Tigers are 9-1, with one series remaining before season's end. Meanwhile, the White Sox (36-120) are on the cusp of putting together the worst regular season record in MLB history. Mario and Jack talk about the 2024 White Sox. Have either of them scene a worse Major League team before? Later, Mario and Jack discuss how dominant pitching has become in Major League Baseball and the remarkable seasons Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani are enjoying. Mario and Jack discuss the state of baseball in 2024, thoughts on the 2024 season, baseball fights, and so much more along the way! You can follow Mario on Twitter, @MarioJLanza. He hosts two podcasts: Survivor Historians and Staff Picks. He wrote a book on the first three seasons of CBS' hit reality competition show Survivor called "When it was Worth Playing For". You can find all his work at Funny115.com.

EPISODE 49 - “Birthday Tribute to Classic Cinema Star Ann Blyth ” - 08/19/2024 ** This episode is sponsored brought to you by BetterHelp. Give online therapy a try at betterhelp.com/BENEATH and get on your way to being your best self.” ** With her crystal clear soprano voice, porcelain doll face, and fierce acting talent, ANN BLYTH became a much in-demand star in the 1940s and 1950s. While known mostly as a romantic musical comedy star in film such as “Mr. Peabody and the Mermaid” (1948), “Rose Marie” (1954), and “Kismet” (1955), she was also a deft dramatic actress when given the chance. Who can forget her as Veda, he daughter who made JOAN CRAWFORD's life a living hell, in “Mildred Pierce” (1945), or as the down-trodden alcoholic singer in “The Helen Morgan Story” (1957)? Blyth turns 96 on August 13th and is truly a living legend. Listen this week as we pay tribute with an episode about Ann Blyth's remarkable life and career.

Like so many musical discoveries in my Tasty Brew orbit, Heather Pierson came to my attention from Mike Paget, Director behind the Green Guitar Folk House Music Series in Lenexa, Kansas.  He discovered Heather's talent at her official showcase during a past Folk Alliance International Conference in Kansas City and brought her back to the Heartland as she was touring through the area.  You'll hear us mention another Heartland music series I've heard stellar reviews about hosted at The Bixler 108 in Unionville, Missouri.  It is so important that stops like the Bixler become available to those trying to lead a lyrical life as they try to connect the dots between major markets like St. Louis and Dallas or west to Denver.  Born to a Scottish émigré mother and Navy veteran machinist father in Joplin, Missouri, Heather started out life in the single-traffic-light town of Galena, Kansas.  Music was constantly spilling out of the speakers of her parents' stereo – a diverse playlist that included such artists as The Allman Brothers, Kansas, Cream, The Beatles, KISS, Cat Stevens, Mario Lanza, Jose Feliciano and Anne Murray.   This diversity served to open Heather's young mind to the rich and varied language of music and to lay the foundation for her future endeavors and experimentations. Heather is now based in New Hampshire's White Mountains…. a singer/songwriter, pianist, song leader, and performer with a passion for cultivating joy, both onstage and off.  With a toe in each of the realms of New Orleans jazz, blues, vocal chants, instrumental piano, and folk, her multi-genre songwriting places her firmly in a category all her own, one honed by decades of diligent practice and curious exploration.  Whether solo, as a duo, with her trio, or in a community sing, Heather's live performances feature her bell-tone vocals, ease at the piano, and are infused with happiness, honest self-reflection, and a genuine desire to connect and share from the heart.  In over twenty years on her own record label, Vessel Recordings, she has released fifteen albums and several singles of original music.  Her forthcoming sixteenth studio album, Back To The Light, is her most vibrant release yet.  It is slated for a September 2024 release, and it was recorded ‘live on the floor' at Acadia Recording Company in Portland, ME with her trio mates Shawn Nadeau on bass (Shawn joins us in the studio for this conversation) and Craig Bryan on drums and percussion.  I just know you're going to dig the seemingly effortless vocal and instrumental offerings from Heather Pierson and Shawn Nadeau during a mid-morning stint on the radio in the Heartland…. Enjoy!

With Opening Day on the horizon, the Jack Vita Show kicks off its MLB Preview Series with its first division preview. Los Angeles Angels beat reporter at MLB.com Rhett Bollinger and San Antonio Express newsroom meteorologist (and diehard Texas Rangers fan) Anthony Franze return to the Jack Vita Show to forecast the American League West division! Rhett, Anthony and Jack get the party started, discussing the reigning World Series champion Texas Rangers. The Rangers led the AL West for much of the season, until they hit a snag in the late summer, opening the door for a tight, three-team race for the division title. While the Rangers ended up tying for the best record in the West and losing the tiebreaker to the Houston Astros, Texas had the last laugh, defeating Houston in seven games in the ALCS, en route to their first World Series title in franchise history. How will the Rangers follow-up a historic season, in 2024? Then, the conversation shifts to the team Rhett covers on a daily basis: the Los Angeles Angels. Over the winter, the Angels bid farewell to two-time American League MVP Shohei Ohtani, who signed a historic, 10-year, $700 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers. The Angels had a relatively quiet offseason, but the club did beef up its bullpen. Coming off a disastrous end to a 73-win season and the departure of Ohtani, how will the Angels fare in 2024? Later, the crew puts the Oakland Athletics under the microscope. The A's lost a franchise-record 112 games in 2023, and have lost 100 games in back-to-back seasons. Why have the A's performed so poorly over the last two years, and what can fans expect in 2024? Did the team steal the plot from the classic film Major League, in an attempt to relocate the team in Las Vegas? After that, it's the Houston Astros. The club has won the AL West six of the last seven seasons. Under new manager Joe Espada, are they the favorites once again? Finally, Rhett, Anthony and Jack analyze the Seattle Mariners. The Mariners came within two games of tying for the AL West division title, collecting 88 wins in 2023 and missing the playoffs. The club had won 90 games the previous two seasons. Seattle shed payroll over the winter, while giving up on former top prospect Jarred Kelenic. Will the M's return to the postseason in 2024? As an added bonus, Survivor writer and podcaster, and our Seattle sports guy Mario Lanza calls in, leaving a 16-minute voice message with his outlook on the Mariners' season. You can follow Rhett (@RhettBollinger), Anthony (@AnthonyFranzeWX) and Mario (@MarioJLanza) on Twitter.

La fama de los bordados y la calidad de su materia prima hizo de Suzhou una parada fundamental en la Ruta de la Seda. De ella se dice que es el paraíso en la Tierra; una ciudad comercial llena de canales que transformó parte de los beneficios en la construcción de hermosos jardines, su seña de identidad. El Jardín del Administrador Humilde o el del Maestro de Redes son obras maestras del paisajismo, reflejos de la trascendencia metafísica de la belleza natural en la cultura china. Con estos argumentos la Unesco incorporó los jardines clásicos de Suzhou al listado del Patrimonio de la Humanidad. Accedemos a varios en compañía de la profesora Yu Wenqing (Qingqing) y su marido, el consultor industrial Enrique Luengo. Además contemplamos esbeltas pagodas como la del templo de Bao En o la torre inclinada que corona Tiger Hill. Paseamos al borde del agua en las calles Shantang Jie y Pingjiang Lu, recorremos el concurrido Museo de Suzhou y visitamos remansos de paz y naturaleza con las profesoras Lujia Li y Ma Jing, el profesor Wenhao Li y el catedrático de nanoelectrónica Mario Lanza, antiguo residente en esta ciudad perteneciente a la provincia de Jiangsu. Su moderno parque industrial, extendido en torno al lago Jinji, es a la vez distrito financiero, centro cultural y meca del ocio; lo investigamos con ayuda del ingeniero Xavi López, que señala un llamativo rascacielos con forma de pantalones como hito de su orilla oeste.

Cohosts of the Survivor Historians Podcast, Jay Fischer and Mario Lanza, return to the Jack Vita Show to discuss the Los Angeles Dodgers, Seattle Mariners and a tight MLB playoff chase in both the National and American League, with less than two weeks remaining in the regular season.   Having grown up in Southern California, Jay is a lifelong Dodgers fan. The Dodgers recently clinched another National League West division title, their tenth over the last eleven years. Los Angeles will likely have the no. 2 seed in the NL Playoffs, which will include a bye from the NL Wild Card Series. Jay assesses the Dodgers' chances of returning to the World Series. What might the Dodgers' pitching rotation look like in the postseason?   Jay, Mario and Jack put the Milwaukee Brewers under the microscope. The Brew Crew is close to winning its third NL Central division title over the past six years. The club has only missed the playoffs once during that stretch. Milwaukee has long flown under the radar, but the Brewers have been one of the most consistently successful teams in the sport, without a large payroll, and without ever really "rebuilding". Will the Brewers be a dangerous dark horse team, come October?   Mario is our resident Seattle sports guy. He visited the show three weeks ago, when the Mariners were in first place. In the time since, Scott Servais' club has cooled off, and is fighting for a playoff spot. Mario discusses what has gone wrong for Seattle in recent weeks, George Kirby's recent comments that caused a stir in the media, and how he projects the team will finish out the regular season. Fittingly, the Dodgers and Mariners played each other over the weekend, as did Jay's Detroit Lions and Mario's Seattle Seahawks. Along the way Jay, Mario and Jack discuss Shohei Ohtani's future, SpongeBob SquarePants, frozen custard, the city of Milwaukee, Reuben sandwiches, and much more!   You can subscribe to the The Survivor Historians Podcast on Apple Podcasts and follow Mario (@MarioJLanza) and Jay (@Jay_Fischer) on Twitter.

Today on Too Opinionated, we sit down with Donelle Dadigan, the President and Co-founder of the José Iturbi Foundation & President and Founder of The Hollywood Museum.  Once upon a time in the 1940s and 1950s in America, classical music and its stars were a natural part of many big Hollywood movies. This golden age saw the creation of famous musical hits such as Anchors Aweigh with Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra or That Midnight Kiss with Mario Lanza, in which a spirited piano virtuoso and conductor always played himself: José Iturbi. Nowadays known only to connoisseurs and aficionados, the native Spaniard was at the time, along with Oscar Levant (An American in Paris), one of the most commercially successful classical artists in Hollywood. When the film A Song to Remember was released in 1945, for example, Iturbi's recording of a Chopin Polonaise sold 800,000 copies. Shortly thereafter, his recording company, RCA Victor, paid him over $118,000 in semiannual royalties – a record at the time. And Iturbi's passion wasn't just for music: he completed 1,400 hours of flying as a pilot, enjoyed riding motorcycles fast, and excelled as an amateur boxer. This edition is a tribute to an era when classical music from films made its journey around the world. It contains all the recordings made by José Iturbi and his sister Amparo Iturbi for RCA Victor from 1933 to 1955, painstakingly restored and remastered from the original records and tapes, including numerous previously unreleased recordings. The 188-page coffee-table book includes a detailed biographical essay by “Ambassador for the American Songbook” and producer of this set Michael Feinstein, extensive documentation with photographs and facsimiles from the José Iturbi Foundation archives, and a complete session and release discography.   ·       The complete RCA Victor Recordings by José Iturbi from 1933 to 1953, including his piano duo recordings with sister Amparo Iturbi as well as Amparo Iturbi's solo recordings on 16 CDs, restored and remastered from the original lacquer discs and analogue tapes using high-resolution 24 bit/192 kHz mastering technology with about 95% of the recordings appearing on CD for the first time and 23 pieces previously unreleased. ·       A new, captivating essay by GRAMMY®-nominated singer, pianist, and music anthropologist Michael Feinstein on the life and work of José Iturbi. ·       Complete session discography as well a complete documentation of José Iturbi's commercial releases on 78rpm and LP. ·       Photo book with previously unseen photos and facsimiles from the Iturbi Archives in Hollywood.    

Writer, published author, creator of the Funny 115 and lifelong Seattle sports fan Mario Lanza returns to the Jack Vita Show at the perfect time: the Seattle Mariners are in sole possession of first place in the American League West!   Entering July 20, the Mariners were 47-48, 10 games back of the Texas Rangers for first place in the AL West. In a little over a month, the M's have not only caught up with the Rangers, but surpassed them in the division race. The race is far from, over though. With five weeks remaining in the regular season, the AL West is shaping up to be a three-team race, with the Houston Astros also in the mix. The Astros have won the division five of the last six years, and eliminated the Mariners from contention in the American League Division Series last October. Will the Mariners finally top the Astros, and win their first division title since 2001? Mario weighs in.   Mario and Jack also discuss the total collapse of the Rangers, who are now 33-37 since June 6. The Rangers entered June 7 with a 40-20 record. Shohei Ohtani suffered a torn UCL recently, which will likely require Tommy John surgery, and could spell the end of his pitching days. Mario and Jack react. Last week, Chicago White Sox owner Jerry Reinsdorf did the unthinkable: he fired somebody! Vice president Kenny Williams and general manager Rick Hahn were relieved of their duties, in the middle of an abysmal White Sox season. Jack shares why he was surprised by the move, and what it means for the organization going forward. In other news, the New York Yankees continue to struggle, Mario and Jack share their thoughts on the new rules and recent changes that have come to Major League Baseball, and Mario discusses his new project, "Mario Stories", in addition to his other work, covering Survivor, movies and Saturday Night Live.   Mario has written about CBS' hit reality competition show, Survivor, for over 20 years now. He has a website, The Funny 115, where he counts down the funniest moments in the show's history. He cohosts a Survivor podcast, The Survivor Historians, where he provides historical context to the show's early seasons. He has a book, When It Was Worth Playing For: My Experiences Writing About the TV Show "Survivor", available for purchase on Amazon.   In addition to covering Survivor, Mario has a movie podcast called Staff Picks, which Jack was a guest on earlier this year, discussing one of his favorite films, Moneyball.   Most recently, Mario has been working on a writing project called "Mario Stories", where he tells unforgettable stories from his childhood, including one in which his father put a bounty on an opposing player in a youth football game.   You can follow Mario on Twitter (@MarioJLanza).

Puede resultar paradójico que algo tan aparentemente inmaterial como internet, sea tan poco sostenible. La transmisión de los datos, su procesamiento y almacenamiento, requieren de ingentes cantidades de energía (el sector de las Tecnologías de la Información y Comunicación consume cerca del 10% de la energía eléctrica generada en el mundo y de seguir al ritmo actual, en 2030 podría ser el 21% del total, generando una huella de carbono similar a la de todo el transporte mundial). Hemos entrevistado a Mario Lanza, profesor titular en la Universidad de Ciencia y Tecnología del Rey Abdullah (en Arabia Saudí), líder de un estudio internacional –con participación también del CSIC— que ha creado el primer microchip de alta densidad de integración. Hemos informado de la carta firmada por un grupo de destacados científicos y empresarios entre los que se encuentran los cofundadores de Apple y Tesla, que pide la suspensión durante seis meses de los experimentos en este campo, para pensar en cómo hacer una gestión y una planificación adecuadas de tecnologías tan potentes como el Chat GPT. También hemos informado de la última Encuesta de Percepción Social de la Ciencia que cada dos años elabora la FECYT, con datos interesantes: Para siete de cada 10 encuestados, la ciencia ayuda a afrontar enfermedades y epidemias y seis de cada diez creen que mejora la calidad de vida. Reconocen que la profesión científica es "atractiva para los jóvenes", pero una mala opción laboral porque está "mal remunerada", con escaso reconocimiento social y poca estabilidad. Y la mayoría (un 71%) elige internet para informarse de temas científicos. El doctor Pedro Gargantilla nos ha hablado del himno británico “Dios salve al rey” cuyo origen se sitúa en una canción francesa compuesta en el siglo XVII para festejar la curación de una fístula anal del rey Luis XIV. Erika López nos ha informado de un estudio sobre la tolerancia a virus de los murciélagos, que explica entre otras cosas porque son reservorios de muchos de ellos. Con testimonios de Javier Juste, investigador de la Estación Biológica de Doñana (CSIC). Jesús Pérez Gil nos ha hablado del desarrollo de terapias inhaladas, no solo para enfermedades respiratorias sino también para tratamientos crónicos que no pueden ser administrados por vía oral o las inyecciones suponen un problema. Eulalia Pérez Sedeño ha trazado la biografía de la meteoróloga Edith Elizabeth Farkas, la primera húngara y también la primera mujer de un equipo de Nueva Zelanda en pisar la Antártida. Durante más de treinta años realizó labores de investigación líderes sobre la capa de ozono.   Escuchar audio

The first edition of our six-part 2023 MLB Preview Series is out now! Join chief meteorologist of Newswest 9 in Odessa, Texas Anthony Franze and Jack Vita rousing discussion on the American League West, as we approach Opening Day.   They share their projected win totals for all five AL West teams.First, Anthony and Jack discuss the new rules and changes coming to Major League Baseball in 2023, such as the pitch clock, restrictions on defensive shifts, and the 'ghost runner' extra innings rule that is now here to stay permanently. Anthony and Jack share their thoughts on the new rules (0:00 - 11:00).   Then, they put Anthony's beloved Texas Rangers under the microscope. The Rangers had a very active offseason in which they entirely made over their pitching staff, signing Jacob deGrom, Nathan Eovaldi, Andrew Heaney and Jake Odorizzi. The Rangers finished 68-94 in 2022, after spending big on free agents Marcus Semien, Corey Seager and Jon Gray. Will they turn a corner and return to the postseason in 2023? (11:00 - 33:15).   Next up, the Oakland Athletics. The A's finished 60-102 in 2022. It was the first time the A's lost 100 games since 1979. Jack and Anthony provide an outlook for the A's, after the club traded away star catcher Sean Murphy (33:15 - 46:50).   The Los Angeles Angels have greatly disappointed in recent years, failing to finish above .500 in each of their last seven seasons. Can 2023 be different, after the club added Tyler Anderson, Hunter Renfroe, Gio Urshela and Brandon Drury? (46:50 - 1:01:30).   The Houston Astros are the reigning 2022 World Series champions. The Astros have won the AL West in every full, 162-game season, since the start of 2017. After Justin Verlander departed as a free agent, and the Astros signed Jose Abreu, will the Astros continue to reign supreme in the West? (1:01:30 - 1:10:15).   Finally, the Seattle Mariners, on paper, appear to present the greatest challenge to the Astros in the division. The Mariners led the Astros in Game 1 and Game 2 of the ALDS last October, and took the Astros to 18 innings in Game 3, but still were swept by the Astros. The Mariners appear to be closing the gap. Will they win their first division title since 2001, in 2023? Anthony and Jack discuss (1:10:15 - 1:29:15).   Then, The Funny 115's Mario Lanza shares his Mariners outlook for 2023. Mario, our unofficial Seattle sports guy, has submitted a Mariners preview for the AL West preview show for three straight years now. Find out where Mario projects the M's to finish this season (1:29:15 - END).   You can follow Anthony (@AnthonyFranzeWX) and Mario (@MarioJLanza) on Twitter.

Cohosts of the Survivor Historian's Podcast Jay Fischer and Mario Lanza join Jack Vita for a lively conversation on the latest happenings from the Major League Baseball offseason. Since our last show, Trevor Bauer had his suspension reduced, making him available to play immediately in 2023. USA Today's Bob Nightengale reported that Bauer will be released by the Los Angeles Dodgers, but the Dodgers have yet to announce their decision on Bauer. They have until January 6 to make a decision. Jay, Mario and Jack discuss whether Bauer will play in 2023, and where he might land. Jay is a lifelong Dodgers fan. He weighs in on the club's offseason, after saying goodbye to franchise staples Cody Bellinger and Justin Turner. Jay, Mario and Jack discuss the latest on Carlos Correa's potential contract with the New York Mets, after the club was reportedly concerned after Correa's physical. The Texas Rangers signed veteran pitcher Nathan Eovaldi to a two-year, $34 million contract. Jack shares why he believes it may have been the best signing of the winter. Along the way, the three chat about why teams are spending more this winter than they have in winters past, their thoughts on Steve Cohen's aggressive strategy and the Mets' $500 million payroll. Mario also shares his thoughts on his Seattle Mariners' offseason, after the club traded for Teoscar Hernandez and Kolten Wong and traded away Jesse Winker. All this, and much, much more in a fun MLB Hot Stove episode of the Jack Vita Show!

Full Hour | Today, Dom led off the Dom Giordano Program by discussing the celebratory day today of Columbus Day, telling why the day is close to his heart as an Italian-American. Giordano tells about a tweet he made over the weekend, writing ‘what Columbus did is like going to the moon but more dangerous,' which he tells received a mixed reaction on Twitter. After offering his thoughts on the MLB Wildcard weekend, Dom tells that not only is Columbus Day under attack by liberals, but tells that a local school district is now cancelling Halloween festivities, citing inclusion and safety concerns as the reason for the cancellation. Then, Giordano reports that Upper Darby is moving forward in removing late fees for overdue library books, expressing his frustration with progressives continuing to tear down accountability. Then, Dom welcomes Michael Bonasera, Chairman and Curator of the History of the Italian Immigration Museum, to tell what's been going on at the museum on Columbus Day. First, Dom and Michael remember the time that Michael inducted Giordano into the museum, placing him between Frank Sinatra and Frank Rizzo. Then, Bonasera tells what's recently been added to the museum, with producer Dan asking if he could be inducted as a great Italian American who happens to be Polish. In addition, Bonasera tells about the great Italian heritage in South Philadelphia, plugging also the Mario Lanza museum and a nearby restaurant that serenades you with live Opera.

Our resident Seattle sports guy, Mario Lanza (creator of The Funny 115, author of When It Was Worth Playing For, and host of the Survivor Historians and Staff Picks podcasts) returns to the Jack Vita Show for our annual baseball conversation together. This time, Mario's beloved Mariners are on the cusp of their first playoff berth since 2001, led by the soon-to-be American League Rookie of the Year. Is Julio Rodriguez the most exciting rookie in Mariners history? Mario and Jack dive deep into the Mariners' 2022 season, and assess the team's playoff chances, with just ten days remaining in the regular season. Meanwhile, the Cleveland Guardians clinched the American League Central for the fourth time in seven years, Sunday. If the season ended today, the Mariners would travel to Cleveland for a best-of-three Wild Card Series. Would the Mariners be better off playing the Guardians, or moving up to the no. 4 or 5 seed to face either the Toronto Blue Jays or Tampa Bay Rays? Mario and Jack have a discussion about Aaron Judge's phenomenal 2022 campaign, as he is just one home run shy of tying Roger Maris' single-season American League home run record, and Judge currently leads the American League in all three Triple Crown categories. Is Judge's 2022 season the single most impressive season from an offensive player, even more impressive than Barry Bonds' 2001 season? Should Shohei Ohtani be receiving more consideration for the AL MVP? All this, and much more, in a very fun episode of the Jack Vita Show!

Before New Zealand director Peter Jackson became world famous for his Lord of the Rings trilogy, he had a cult following for directing a few horror and zombie films that featured wild special effects and stop-motion animation. Then in 1994, at age 32, Jackson showed that he could handle a movie with wider significance and appeal. That film was Heavenly Creatures, a story based on a notorious murder case from the early 1950s in Christchurch, New Zealand. As was to be the case in all his future work, Jackson wrote the screenplay with his wife, Fran Walsh. This was the film that fascinated me when I first saw it in 1995, and then quickly went to see it again. After the picture establishes its time and place with part of an actual 1954 newsreel about Christchurch, we meet Pauline Rieper, a lonely and painfully self-conscious teenage girl played by 16-year-old newcomer Melanie Lynskey. Her parents and siblings don't understand why Pauline is always so angry and withdrawn, although we in the audience can sense that the difficult and confusing effects of puberty clearly play a role. Ignored by her classmates at a girls' school, and disliked by teachers, Pauline is bewildered about her life, an experience well conveyed through Jackson's bold camera effects and frenetic editing. Then, an English girl arrives at the school, Juliet Hulme, played by the 17-year-old Kate Winslet. Vivacious, imaginative, and boldly rebellious, Juliet immediately captivates Pauline, and reaches out to her in friendship, which the shy girl responds to with all the repressed passion of her soul. Winslet had previously appeared on English TV, but this was her first role in a movie. She and Lynskey give powerful, revelatory performances. The bond between Pauline and Juliet quickly becomes rather intense. Pauline introduces her friend to the music of her idol, the tenor Mario Lanza. Their enmeshment expresses itself in imaginative play-acting: they pretend to be fantasy heroines in a mythical kingdom, giving themselves different names and acting out little stories. Here Jackson introduces his animation techniques—large “claymation” type figures dancing, singing, and embracing the girls in the courtyard of a medieval castle. The girls' fantasies not only celebrate their bond, but express anger and hostility towards authority figures who try to discipline them. The trouble starts when Juliet's father feels disturbed by how involved the two girls are in each other. He thinks it's unhealthy, and he tells Pauline's mother that. Both sets of parents try to discourage the friendship in various ways, but of course this only makes the attachment stronger and more determined. When the Hulmes decide to move back to England, Juliet and Pauline think they're being persecuted. Faced with the unthinkable prospect of separation, their fragile minds go over the edge. Heavenly Creatures is a fever dream of a movie. Sometimes it seems like you can barely catch your breath with Jackson's relentless, flamboyant style, funny at first but ultimately tragic. No film that I've seen has captured the insanity of adolescence, the inability to see a future in the pressure of today, than this film has. Heavenly Creatures' remarkable compassion for its misguided characters brings us to painful and unforgettable awareness.

El transistor es el protagonista de la revolución silenciosa que comenzó a mediados del siglo pasado y que ha transformado la sociedad. Estamos en la era de la electrónica y los avances no dejan de producirse con la aparición de nuevos dispositivos más pequeños y eficientes como el memristor, una resistencia con memoria que podría ser determinante en el futuro para muchas aplicaciones por su versatilidad y bajísimo consumo. Hemos entrevistado al ingeniero electrónico Mario Lanza, profesor en la Universidad de Ciencia y Tecnología del Rey Abdullah (Arabia Saudí) y uno de los mayores expertos en este campo. Les hemos contado la aprobación por el Parlamento de la nueva ley de la Ciencia y la Tecnología; el nombramiento de Eloísa del Pino como presidenta del CSIC en sustitución de Rosa Menéndez; el fallecimiento del paleoantropólogo francés Yves Coppens, uno de los descubridores de la célebre "Lucy"; la publicación de la mejor descripción hasta ahora de un exoplaneta (Gliese 486 b) por un equipo internacional de astrónomos liderados por José Antonio Caballero, del Centro de Astrobiología; y el premio popular al Inventor Europeo 2022 para la ingeniera española Elena García Armada por su desarrollo del primer exoesqueleto adaptable para niños. Con Jesús Martínez Frías nos hemos adentrado en el túnel de lava de La Corona, en Lanzarote, para conocer como son estas estructuras y como podrían ser de gran ayuda en la colonización de la Luna o de Marte. María González nos ha explicado cómo es la Plataforma Patrimonio Abierto: Investigación y Sociedad (PTI-PAIS). Nuria Martínez Medina nos ha acercado a la biografía del abad Nollet, un brillante científico francés del siglo XVIII que pasó a la historia por el descubrimiento de la ósmosis y, sobre todo, por los experimentos que hizo sobre electricidad, algunos de ellos convertidos en auténticos espectáculos para el público en general. Hemos reseñado los libros “La expedición Balmis. La primera lucha global contra las pandemias”, obra coral promovida por el CSIC y el ministerio de ciencia, publicada por Geoplaneta y dirigida por Susana María Ramírez Martin; “¿Cómo entender a los humanos? Las bases biológicas del lenguaje, la cultura, la moral y el estatus”, de Pablo Rodríguez Palenzuela (Next Door); “La navaja de Einstein y otras historias extraordinarias sobre rocas y minerales”, de Eugenio Manuel Fernández (Guadalmazán) y “Una historia con aguijón. Mis aventuras con los abejorros”, de Dave Goulson (Capitán Swing).  Escuchar audio

Rodeado de lujo y confort, el científico español Mario Lanza investiga en la King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) los memristores, el componente electrónico que promete revolucionar la electrónica. La inversión en ciencia, a menudo escasa, plantea un debate moral cuando procede de empresas o países como Arabia Saudí. ¿Es ético que la ciencia avance gracias a un estado que vulnera los derechos humanos?

The biggest names in Hollywood and Broadway recorded for AFRS during the war years, The American Forces Network can trace its origins back to May 26, 1942, when the War Department established the Armed Forces Radio Service (AFRS). The U.S. Army began broadcasting from London during World War II, using equipment and studio facilities borrowed from the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC). The first transmission to U.S. troops began at 5:45 p.m. on July 4, 1943, and included less than five hours of recorded shows, a BBC news and sports broadcast. That day, Corporal Syl Binkin became the first U.S. Military broadcasters heard over the air. The signal was sent from London via telephone lines to five regional transmitters to reach U.S. troops in the United Kingdom as they prepared for the inevitable invasion of Nazi-occupied Europe. Fearing competition for civilian audiences the BBC initially tried to impose restrictions on AFN broadcasts within Britain (transmissions were only allowed from American Bases outside London and were limited to 50 watts of transmission power) and a minimum quota of British produced programming had to be carried. Nevertheless AFN programmes were widely enjoyed by the British civilian listeners who could receive them and once AFN operations transferred to continental Europe (shortly after D-Day) AFN were able to broadcast with little restriction with programmes available to civilian audiences across most of Europe (including Britain) after dark. As D-Day approached, the network joined with the BBC and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation to develop programs especially for the Allied Expeditionary Forces. Mobile stations, complete with personnel, broadcasting equipment, and a record library were deployed to broadcast music and news to troops in the field. The mobile stations reported on front line activities and fed the news reports back to studio locations in London. --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Entertainment Radio Stations Live 24/7 Sherlock Holmes/CBS Radio Mystery Theater https://live365.com/station/Sherlock-Holmes-Classic-Radio--a91441 https://live365.com/station/CBS-Radio-Mystery-Theater-a57491 ----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Wealthy and precocious teenager Juliet (Kate Winslet) transfers from England to Christchurch, New Zealand, with her family, and forms a bond with the quiet, brooding Pauline (Melanie Lynskey) through their shared love of handsome big screen tenor Mario Lanza and games of make-believe. But when their parents begin to suspect that their increasingly intense friendship is becoming unhealthy, the girls decide to run away to America, hatching a dark plan for those who threaten to keep them apart.

The 2022 MLB Preview series is here! In the first edition, Anthony Franze (chief meteorologist at NewsWest9 in Midland, Texas) and Jack put the AL West under the microscope. But first, they provide a quick summary of Major League Baseball rules changes, playoff expansion, and more from the newest Collective Bargaining Agreement. If you were wondering what you missed and what's new, you've come to the right place. Anthony and Jack share some thoughts on the league's changes (0:00 - 20:30), then dive right into previewing each team's season. Anthony is a diehard Rangers fan who is VERY excited about what the Rangers did this past winter, adding Corey Seager, Marcus Semien, Jon Gray and Mitch Garver; how many wins better will the Ranger be from 2021, when they finished a dismal 60-102 (20:30 - 38:00)? How will Shohei Ohtani follow up his historic 2022 season, and how will the Angels fare with a healthy Mike Trout returning to their team (38:00 - 48:30)? The Oakland A's are in the process of wildly making over their team and reloading their farm system. Why did the A's move Matt Olson and Matt Chapman, and what would it take in order for the A's to become a bigger spender in the future (48:30 - 1:00:10)? The Seattle Mariners improved their roster and have even more high-level prospects on the way. Are they ready to compete for the division crown (1:00:10 - 1:13:25)? After losing Carlos Correa, is the Astros' window slowly closing? What should we expect from Houston in 2022 (1:13:25 - 1:24:45)? Jack and Anthony provide win total projections for each team. Finally, Mario Lanza, creator of Funny115.com and host of the podcasts Staff Picks and Survivor Historians leaves a voicemail with his outlook for the 2022 Seattle Mariners' season, a season that he is very excited about.

Growing up as an Italian boy in London, Michael Volpe listened to everything from Mario Lanza to prog Rock.  Despite having very little money, his mum brought him and his brothers up with plenty of Italian food, packed social gatherings, alongside the expected Italian family dramas, much to the shock of his girlfriends. As a teenager he excelled in music and the performing arts, but turned down an opportunity to audition at RADA, feeling that it wasn't the path for him.  Going on to take a role at what was then Holland Park Theatre to promote and market the festival of visiting productions, he brought audience numbers up from 15,000 to 25,000 in his first year.  He realised that opera was the heart of the work at Holland Park, and the way to create work of real value and impact would be to develop a new festival with an entity of its own. As General Manager of Opera Holland Park, alongside the Producer James Clutton – now Director of Opera & CEO -  the pair formed a formidable long-running partnership until Michael recently retired from OHP, joining Iford Arts as Interim Executive Director, where he's inspiring the future of the festival. Michael has just been awarded an OBE for his services to opera, and his journey is beautifully captivated in his book ‘Noisy at the wrong times' one of The Sunday Times' 100 biographies to love.
