Everyone knows Nina. She currently has 32 writing credits including "Catch Me If You Claus" from last year's Countdown Christmas.

It's wedding season! To celebrate, Megan and Wendy review "Wedding Every Weekend" starring Paul Campbell and Kimberley Sustad.

Got an old Hallmark Channel favorite you'd like Girls Gone Hallmark to consider reviewing? Email the show at meganandwendy@gmail.com. Listen to Megan and Wendy review Hallmark Channel fan favorite movie: "Wedding Every Weekend" starring Paul Campbell and Kimberley Sustad. About "Wedding Every Weekend" ‘Wedding Every Weekend' was filmed in Canada including Vancouver, British Columbia. This movie was filmed in June and July 2020, after the pandemic started, so there were social distancing rules in place. In an interview with The Sarah Scoop Show, Sustad said that they were the first production back since the pandemic started. Paul Campbell told Media Village “they were the first production to film during phase three of the reopening, starting on June 20" and "everyone wore masks, sanitized, and some had to stay within their departments.”   Some interior weddings scenes were moved outdoors, everyone had morning temperature checks, and about 50% of the background performers are actually mannequins but Campbell said "they'll be hard to spot."

When an injury ended his dreams of playing soccer on a professional level, Cristo Fernández decided to tackle his other dream: filmmaking and acting. Little did he know that the perfect opportunity would come along in which he could combine all of his talents in a single role, Ted Lasso fan favorite Dani Rojas. “I never imagined when I dreamed of being a soccer player that it would come back to me in this way, but I was always open thanks to my friends and family who pushed me to study and find something else. I learned discipline and hard work from the sport, being an athlete, and using it in my new dreams as an actor and filmmaker. Now here I am doing the two things I love the most in my life.” You can stream seasons one through three of Ted Lasso on Apple TV+

The conversation around name, image and likeness (NIL) has been going on throughout the 21st Century. The NCAA reached a point in 2021 where student athletes across the country became allowed to monetize off NIL and since then it's taken over the division-1 college sports landscape. Today, top talent such as University of Alabama quarterback and reigning Heisman Trophy winner Bryce Young is making millions of dollars thanks to endorsement deals, but it is a lot to be able to manage while also being a student athlete.   UCLA redshirt-junior quarterback Chase Griffin is a student athlete executive in residence with UniWorld Group. Chase has credited UWG with helping set him up for his future as he is learning more about the media agency business and preparing for a career post-football.   Chase sat down with Justin Paura on the View From The Grandstand podcast to discuss how and why he decided to team up with UWG and explain what NIL has done for him and will do for other student athletes like him. Be sure to watch or listen to View From The Grandstand on MediaVillage.com or wherever you get your podcasts. The full interview will also air during MediaVillage's Advancing Diversity Week stream, from October 17-20 on MediaVillage.com.

CEO of the Business Post and UCD MBA alumnus Colm O'Reilly talks about the future of the newspaper industry from libel reform, tech disruption and the importance of supporting great journalists in a time when they are under fire.

Juan Ayala is an actor, journalist and podcaster from Connecticut, now living in New York City, actively pursuing his acting career for the last five years. Throughout his life, he has overcome several major obstacles, including dealing with depression and anxiety, a very difficult coming out journey as a queer man in his twenties, weighing over 225 lbs when he was in college, and having ideation of suicide when he was just thirteen years old. He has thankfully persevered and successfully navigated these obstacles and hopes to share his journey and story with as many people as he can. As an actor, he has worked in multiple network television series, including NBC's Blindspot and ABC's For Life, as well as dozens of theatrical productions across his home state of Connecticut. When not on set or on stage, he works as a journalist and podcast producer for a number of outlets, including MediaVillage and Latin Media Group. His longest-running podcast “Actors With Issues” is soon to hit 100 episodes and features mini career deep-dives and enlightening discussions with his guests who work across film, television and Broadway. He resides in Brooklyn, NY with his partner Erick.                   3 top tips for my audience: 1. Find your village. Every actor needs a support system, not just to get you through the tough times, but to also celebrate the wins, tiny or huge, that come your way. 2. Find a passion beyond your career. It's not healthy for anyone to only ever focus on their job and career and not have any other prospects.  3. No one is better at being you than you. Sometimes we can't help but compare ourselves to the people around us who may be doing better than we are,  Social media and contact info. How can viewers contact you after the interview? Please list your social media handles and websites. This is how they will appear in the show notes!  Juan can be found on Instagram @JuanAyalaOfficial , on Twitter @iJuanAyala and you can watch full episodes of his podcast online at youtube.com/actorswithissuespodcast #Actor #NYActor #NYCActor #HispanicActor #LatinActor #LatinxActor #LGBT #LGBTQ #LGBTActor #Journalist #Podcaster

In honor of Asian American & Pacific Islander Heritage Month, we are joined by actors from across film and television for a special roundtable discussion: Desmond Chiam, Marvel's Falcon and the Winter Soldier and Prime Video's With Love; Max Huang, Warner Bros. Mortal Kombat; Sierra Katow, HBO Max's The Sex Lives of College Girls; and Mike Cabellon, NBC's Mr. Mayor.   The four shared their thoughts on the current state of AAPI representation in entertainment, what they hope to see more of throughout Hollywood in the near future, and the impact that some of their own roles have had on their community.   Moderating the discussion was MediaVillage's Juan Ayala, who opened with “Looking at the history of entertainment, is now the best time to be an Asian American actor?”   “So far!” Mike Cabellon quickly said with a laugh. “There's no part in history where I'm like ‘I'd rather have been alive then', but I also hope that we're doing enough work that it'll be better for the next generation.” Desmond Chiam added, “We're on an incline. As each second passes that becomes the new best time to be an Asian American actor.”   Max Huang chimed in, “I feel very privileged to be living in this day and age. With this whole, let's call it the ‘Asian Wave', I feel that I jumped right on and feel very lucky and happy to be here.”    “I think hearing from actors who've been working for a long time or started a while ago, those stories compared to what we get to do?, it's like 'oh wow, thank you!'” Sierra Katow added. “I like to think that our achievements are our own but they did a lot of work and we get to benefit from it.”    “We're definitely standing on the shoulders of giants.” Chiam said.

In honor of Native American Heritage Month, Multicultural TV Talk and MediaVillage present a roundtable discussion about the lack of Indigenous representation across media and recent impressive efforts on the part of networks, studios and streamers to change that. Guests include D'Pharoah Woon-a-tai of the critically-acclaimed FX on Hulu series Reservation Dogs; Rainbow Dickerson, from the award-winning film Beans; Isabella Leblanc from the upcoming Pet Sematary prequel on Paramount+, and Amber Midthunder from The CW's Roswell, New Mexico.

So, let's clear one thing up…I had decided on Media Metaverse as the title of my podcast on MediaVillage long before a certain social media CEO decided to co-opt the word and rebrand his entire company. I'm sticking with it because I truly am a believer that the next phase of business and enterprise transformation will be about the further embracing, immersive visualization, and maturation of how we use digital; with hopefully a dash more respect to the consumers whose minds and wallets we are trying to tap.   Fair warning, if I am sometimes come off as a contrarian, I fall on no swords. Show me numbers that prove me wrong, and I'll be the first to admit it. However, given that the game is currently mostly rigged to give preference to only the largest in the almighty name of efficiency, it's time to shine a spotlight on those players who don't normally get seen or those who have yet to be discovered in the vast expanse of fragmented, but valuable, nascent, and innovative media channels that we call the Media Metaverse.    And it made all the sense in the world to me to start my first official episode with my nemesis of over a decade. As Omnicom Media Group's resident futurist and Emerging Media champion, I would always find myself tuned in to the words of my prime competition in the marketplace at Publicis, Rishad Tobaccowala.  At one point there was a possibility of a merger between the two organizations, and (don't tell anyone) I was actually looking forward to being able to work together with Mr. Tobaccowala. While that didn't end up happening, I think of this launch episode as my personal “Marvel's What If?” on what a collaboration between the two of us would have sounded and felt like. If this is any indication, that area of the multiverse where we did collaborate frequently, must be awesome. (Oh, and I am Iron Man.) Enjoy.

Among the things that should come with the warning: Do not try this on your own must be Dr. James Sulikowski's work. An Arizona State University marine biologist recounts how to implant an intrauterine device in a shark – and live to tell MediaVillage about it. The short answer is carefully – very carefully. For details on why he did this and why learning more about sharks is vital, listen to Jacqueline Cutler's podcast for MediaVillage.

Kent Harrington is a writer, the “In the National Interest” columnist at Mediavillage, and a former senior CIA officer and analyst who, among other things, served as National Intelligence Officer for East Asia, CIA's director of public affairs, and a chief of station in Asia.” In this episode: Americans are drowning in information but when they go to any of the major broadcast and cable media news outlets—and the rising news services on the web—they'll be lucky to find serious coverage of international news, much less coverage in depth.  From prime-time cable to profit-making news aggregators, a fig leaf of reporting covers wall-to-wall commentary.  Kent talks with award-winning journalist John Walcott on why it should matter to Americans that, when it comes to news about foreign affairs, the cupboard is bare

Publishers are getting their backsides handed to them by agency groups because the agencies have moved almost entirely away from relationship-based decision making. They may not be leading negotiations, but the data natives are calling the shots.  According to media ecologist and MediaVillage founder, Jack Myers, perhaps only “small data” that unlocks relevant insight can save media sellers – at least those smart enough to stop trying to compete with Google and Facebook. Creative agencies, he says, need to get with the programme or risk dragging legacy media down entirely.  See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Welcome to episode #521 of Six Pixels Of Separation - The Mirum Podcast. I won't lie to you, this one of the toughest conversations for this podcast that I have ever had. I'm a middle-aged, white male who lives in North America, and have been fortunate enough to do quite well in the industry that I love. I'm not apologetic about my efforts, but I am well-aware that I hit the genetic lottery. Jack Myers is in a similar boat. He's the founder of Media Village and has written many books (including Virtual Worlds, Reconnecting With Customers, Adbashing and Hooked Up). Now, he's back with The Future of Men - Masculinity in the Twentieth Century. It's an important read, and an important conversation to have (no matter how uncomfortable the topic is in a world where women's equality, racial equality and more are still - sadly - issues that need to be resolved). Bring an open mind, as Jack and I discuss the need to ensure that men (especially young men) feel empowered, happy and healthy at work and in life. Enjoy the conversation...
