Diese Woche stehen alle Zeichen auf Retro-Vibes – körperlich wie thematisch. Jana war beim Orthopäden, Ramon beim Zahnarzt – man könnte fast meinen, wir wären schon in der Reha-Phase des Lebens angekommen. Lars bringt passend dazu ein modisches Highlight mit: neue Gummi-Sandalen. Jana ist wenig begeistert, aber „modisch uneinsichtige Entscheidungen gehören zu seinem Markenzeichen“, meint sie. Außerdem berichtet Jana von einer stilvollen Cluedo-Motto-Party, bei der sie als Frau Weiß auf Spurensuche ging. Ganz stilecht mit Krimi-Charme und Sektglas – doch wer war der Mörder? Und was hat das alles mit Böttchern zu tun? Wir graben uns durch die Geschichte: Was ist eigentlich ein Böttcher – und was macht ein Kürassier? Alte Begriffe, neue Ideen: Welche Stadt heute noch stolz auf ihre Handwerkswurzeln ist, fragen wir uns ebenso wie: Was wäre eigentlich der Hipster-Kürassier-Look im Jahr 2025? Vintage-Harnisch, Latte-Art, und nachhaltige Sporen? Dann wird's herrlich absurd: Könnte Jana in einer anderen Zeit als Lustmädchen Karriere gemacht haben? Und was genau macht eigentlich ein Gigolo? Der Gedanke bringt uns zu Marlene Dietrichs letztem Film „Schöner Gigolo, armer Gigolo“ – und plötzlich spinnt sich eine ganz neue Filmidee: „Die Dirne und der Stricher“. Ja, es eskaliert wie immer auf charmante Weise. Natürlich träumen wir auch ganz praktisch – etwa davon, welches Handwerk wir heute gern erlernen würden. Glasbläser? Tischler? Vielleicht beides? Und weil wir nicht anders können, landen wir zum Schluss in einer kleinen satirischen Runde: Welche Städte hätten welche modernen Handwerks-Identitäten? Berlin als Influencerstadt – „Hier wird nicht gehämmert, hier wird gevloggt!“ – ist da erst der Anfang. Eine Folge voller Überraschungen, Humor, geschichtlichem Halbwissen und sehr viel Fantasie. Eben genau das, was man zwischen Gummi-Latschen und Gigolos so braucht.

Five years ago, I awoke to the horrifying news of the murder of George Floyd by a member of the Minneapolis Police Department. I had been working on cobbling together an episode on French Glamour, which quickly gave way instead to an impromptu episode of protest music through the ages which remains one of the Countermelody episodes of which I am most proud. Yesterday was the five-year commemoration of that horrific event, which sparked worldwide protests and which, for a while, seemed as if it might lead to systemic change. Five years later, we find ourselves in a true global nightmare. Almost everything that has changed has been for the worse, but my feelings about the system that has produced such calamity remains exactly the same as it has always been. For that reason, I am republishing that episode from five long years ago, in which I sought to “defer to those on the front lines to speak of their own experience and truth” in a program of protest music from the early twentieth century to the recent past. Nina Simone's song of rage “Mississippi Goddam” was a guiding force as I put the episode together, but we hear from a wide range of singers, from Donny Hathaway, Micki Grant, Pete Seeger, Mahalia Jackson, Odetta, Billie Holiday, Aretha Franklin, to Joan Baez, Cher, Barbra Streisand, Paul Robeson, and Marlene Dietrich. If you don't want to hear a political program, for goddess's sake, keep away, but if you do want to be infuriated, engaged, and ultimately uplifted, please listen in. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and journalist yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

80 lat temu, 8 maja ok. godz. 22:30 w dawnym kasynie oficerskim w dzielnicy Karlshorst w Berlinie delegacja niemiecka, której przewodniczył feldmarszałek Wilhelm Keitel, podpisała akt bezwarunkowej kapitulacji III Rzeszy. Zakończyła się II wojna w Europie. W kolejnych dniach stopniowo milkły wystrzały z karabinów i eksplozje pocisków artyleryjskich oraz bomb. Nie milkła za to muzyka, która w wielu momentach tej wojny była nie tylko głosem nadziei i pokrzepienia, ale także (może nawet częściej) przedłużeniem walki zbrojnej, narzędziem propagandy i opresji. Uwielbiana przez czerwonoarmistów Lidija Rusłanowa wyśpiewująca na stopniach Reichstagu „Katiuszę” tworzyła ścieżkę dźwiękową brutalnego rozrachunku ze stolicą Tysiącletniej Rzeszy, przez którą przetaczała się fala sowieckiej przemocy. Po drugiej stronie amerykańskim (i niemieckim) żołnierzom na otarcie łez „Lili Marlen” śpiewała Marlene Dietrich. W szwajcarskim radiu rozbrzmiewała nieco naiwna, zawczasu przygotowana kompozycja „In terra pax” Franka Martin, rozgłośnie angielskie i amerykańskie nadawały hymny państwowe i grały… Beethovena.

EPISODE 86 -  “ANNA MAY WONG: CLASSIC CINEMA STAR OF THE MONTH” - 5/5/2025 Anna May Wong was once the most famous Chinese woman in the world. The trailblazing actress, philanthropist, and fashion icon appeared in over 60 films and was a celebrated star, yet, at the time, she was not allowed to kiss a Caucasian man on screen, which limited the roles she could take, and she was not allowed to buy a house in Beverly Hills. A strange dichotomy, indeed. In recent years, she has enjoyed a much-deserved resurgence. Known as a Trailblazer and a cultural icon, she paved the way for generations of Asian and Asian American actors by proving that talent and perseverance could transcend racist casting conventions. Her life and career continue to influence conversations about diversity, representation, and the politics of race in Hollywood. This week, she is our Star of the Month.

We don't exactly keep rock-solid statistics for this sort of thing, but to the best of our recollection, this episode of Cinebuds sets a new land-speed record for sheer number of movies mentioned in a single episode. Given the topic, that shouldn't come as a surprise.In addition to being a Cinebud, Dori Zori is 88Nine's morning host and — this next one is an unofficial title — queen of the station's International Women's Day programming. She got that particular tradition started a decade ago, putting her passion for female, femme and female-identifying artists on the air for all to hear.So you know we weren't going to let March pass by without a Cinebuds episode devoted to impactful women in the movie industry. Dori and Kpolly name drop more than 30 films during their chat, in addition to giving general co-signs to the work of Marlene Dietrich and Katharine Hepburn. They also point out a few individuals who may not be quite as well-known to movie lovers, like film editor Thelma Schoonmaker, who has worked alongside director Martin Scorsese for more than five decades.We did our best to collect all the movies they mentioned and sort them in the lists below.

Seventy-five years ago, Lillian Ross published “How Do You Like It Now, Gentlemen?” in The New Yorker, her longform profile of Hemingway's 1950 visit to New York City. Ross spent time with Hemingway as he shopped for a coat, visited with Marlene Dietrich, took his son Patrick to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, met with Charles Scribner, and talked enthusiastically about his forthcoming novel, Across the River and into the Trees.This profile has been polarizing since its publication: Did Ross deliver a subtle takedown? Did Hemingway embarrass himself with his odd mannerisms? Should Hemingway never have agreed to it? Should The New Yorker never have published it? Is this, ultimately, the most intimate and penetrating portrait of the later Hemingway ever written?To explore this iconic profile and the journalist who wrote it, we welcome Susan Morrison, who serves as Lillian Ross's literary executor. Morrison is the Articles Editor at The New Yorker and the author of Lorne: The Man Who Invented Saturday Night Live. We hope you enjoy this episode and always remember: “what you win in Boston, you lose in Chicago!”

Does today's poem contain the secret to minimizing regret in 2025? Kinda, sorta. Happy reading.In his youth, Robert Service worked in a shipping office and a bank, and briefly studied literature at the University of Glasgow. Inspired by Rudyard Kipling and Robert Louis Stevenson, Service sailed to western Canada in 1894 to become a cowboy in the Yukon Wilderness. He worked on a ranch and as a bank teller in Vancouver Island six years after the Gold Rush, gleaning material that would inform his poetry for years to come and earn him his reputation as “Bard of the Yukon.” Service traveled widely throughout his life—to Hollywood, Cuba, Alberta, Paris, Louisiana, and elsewhere—and his travels continued to fuel his writing.A prolific writer and poet, Service published numerous collections of poetry during his lifetime, including Songs of a Sourdough or Spell of the Yukon and Other Verses (1907), which went into ten printings its first year, Ballad of a Cheechako (1909) and Ballads of a Bohemian (1921), as well as two autobiographies and six novels. Several of his novels were made into films, and he also appeared as an actor in The Spoilers, a 1942 film with Marlene Dietrich.-bio via Poetry Foundation Get full access to The Daily Poem Podcast at dailypoempod.substack.com/subscribe

Edna Lewis was a legendary American chef, a pioneer of Southern cooking and the author of four books, including The Taste of Country Cooking, her memoir cookbook about growing up in Freetown, Virginia, a small farming community of formerly enslaved people and their descendants established in 1866. Before she began writing books, Edna had been a celebrated chef at Cafe Nicholson in New York City in the 1950s where Eleanor Roosevelt, Paul Robeson, Marlon Brando, Tennessee Williams, Truman Capote and Marlene Dietrich all came for her Southern food and legendary chocolate soufflé.The Taste of Country Cooking chronicled the traditions and recipes of the community where she grew up — a rural settlement that celebrated the events and traditions of daily life across each year with special suppers and ritual meals — Emancipation Day Dinner, Early Spring Dinner after Sheep Shearing, Morning After Hog Butchering Breakfast, Christmas Eve Supper and Christmas Dinner to name but a few of the dishes and stories that fill this book.In 1983 The Kitchen Sisters went to talk to Ms. Lewis about her life and the Christmas traditions in the tight-knit Virginia farming community where she came of age.For Christmas, The Kitchen Sisters Present...

We're celebrating the birthday month of the iconic Marlene Deitrich by revisiting a special episode from the "Mobituaries" audiobook. Marlene Dietrich cemented her status as a Hollywood legend with a series of iconic performances that flouted traditional women's roles and ignited the screen. But it's her passionate support for the United States, her adopted homeland, and the troops fighting in World War II that led Hitler to label her a traitor to the "Fatherland." When she could have enjoyed the indulgences of fame, she risked everything. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
