To hear a fantastic chorus of guests and I unpack the films of 2016 in 2026, subscribe to our Patreon here for as little as $1 a month. In the latest episode, I catch up with my favourite Bostonian film critic, Sean Burns, to discuss a Spielberg and Coen brothers collab - BRIDGE OF SPIES.Sean BurnsSean Burns is a film critic for WBUR's Arts & Culture and a contributing writer at North Shore Movies and Crooked Marquee.

X: @JCats2013 @ileaderssummit @americasrt1776 @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk @JTitMVirginia Join America's Roundtable (https://americasrt.com/) radio co-hosts Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy with John Catsimatidis, a leading national business figure and senior lay leader in the Greek Orthodox Church community. John Catsimatidis is the Chairman and CEO, The Red Apple Group and Owner of the Iconic 77 WABC Radio in New York City. The Red Apple Group is a conglomerate that owns and operates assets in the energy, real estate, finance, insurance, and supermarket industries. 77 WABC Radio is heard in 50 states and 173 countries. John is the author of Wall Street Journal Bestseller and Publishers Weekly Bestseller — “How Far Do You Want to Go: Lessons from a Common-Sense Billionaire.” As a leading American entrepreneur, John Catsimatidis will provide insights into the state of the US economy as inflation drops, nationwide gas prices fall under $2.80 per gallon and rent prices coming down. John will explain how free market principles applied by House Republicans in Congress with President Trump's "The One, Big, Beautiful Bill" will cut taxes for Americans earning under $50,000 by 14.9%. John will also highlight the benefits for 4 million tipped workers like waitresses, barbers, hairstylists, and taxi drivers who will not pay taxes on tips. For those working overtime - once again, this group of hard-working Americans will not be taxed on overtime. A major savings and great benefit for senior citizens who will not have to pay taxes on social security. Natasha Srdoc and John Catsimatidis discuss key economic data of economic growth rates and how changes at the Federal Reserve Bank may usher in an era of lower interest rates that will further help working families. Joel Anand and John Catsimatidis discuss the major fraud and money laundering unveiled in Minnesota with federal taxpayer funds abused. According to published reports: "A Minnesota safety net program was so easy to scam, it attracted tourists, Assistant U.S. Attorney Joe Thompson said Thursday. The extent of fraud in Minnesota human services programs — which has become infamous across the country — is even higher than the public knew. Providers in 14 “high-risk,” state-run Medicaid programs being audited by the state have billed $18 billion since 2018, and “half or more” is possibly fraudulent, Thompson said." The conversation on America's Roundtable will also focus on the horrific terrorist attack in Sydney, Australia, with 15 innocent civilians murdered and over 40 injured as the Jewish community gathered for the first day of Hanukkah. The brazen manifestation of anti-Semitism in the West, including America is brought to the forefront. The concerns of the waves of socialism battering America will be highlighted as the Democratic Party becomes more influenced by the Democratic Socialist Party's agenda which pushes communism and socialism, dangerous ideologies that have failed and left billions of people around the world in poverty. The conversation will also bring to the forefront economic forecasts for 2026 and what Americans can expect in the New Year. americasrt.com (https://americasrt.com/) https://ileaderssummit.org/ | https://jerusalemleaderssummit.com/ America's Roundtable on Apple Podcasts: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/americas-roundtable/id1518878472 X: @JCats2013 @ileaderssummit @americasrt1776 @NatashaSrdoc @JoelAnandUSA @supertalk @JTitMVirginia America's Roundtable is co-hosted by Natasha Srdoc and Joel Anand Samy, co-founders of International Leaders Summit and the Jerusalem Leaders Summit.

主播:翩翩(中国)+ Adrian(美国) 片头:Try Everything 片尾:Fantasy今天节目的新主播是来自青岛地铁的最新英文播音员Adrian。每天成千上万的乘客听着他的声音穿梭于城市之中,他却笑称自己是这座城市里“most familiar stranger(最熟悉的陌生人)”。今天我们就从青岛地铁走进Adrian的世界。01. Metro vs. Subway 地铁名称的不同��为什么青岛地铁使用Metro而不是美式英语中更常见的Subway呢?在欧洲和亚洲(Europe and Asia),更常用Metro表示“地铁”。这个词源于法语词métropolitain,意为“大都市铁路(metropolitan railway)”。Metropolitan源自希腊词metropolis,意为Major City(大都市)。近期热映的《疯狂动物城2》——其英文片名改为Zootropolis就是用了这一词根的wordplay(双关语)。Zootropolis:是将Metro替换为Zoo,就是指“动物大都市”。第一部叫 Zootopia(动物乌托邦),剧情比较理想化,第二部改成 Zootropolis(动物大都市),可能剧情也会更加真实、复杂、充满挑战。因为Metro这个词根有“大都市感”,所以它在全球都被广泛采用。如伦敦的London Metro、巴黎的Paris Métro,以及中国的上海、广州等地。北京沿用北美常用的Subway——字面意为“地下的路”。它很容易让人联想到fast-food chain(快餐连锁店)Subway(赛百味)。青岛地铁选用的是Metro这个词,听起来更国际范儿和现代化(international and modern)。02. 声音的接力:Adrian如何成为青岛地铁的“代言人”Adrian与地铁播音的缘分始于messages in a groupchat on wechat(微信群聊)。此前,青岛地铁的英文播报由另一位美国人Win录制多年,而Win也是青岛地铁第一个英文播音员(一席文化公众号有相关链接),他之前也来过我们“老外来了”节目。当Win因迁居西安时,恰逢青岛地铁新线规划期,需要寻找一个long-term voice(长期稳定配音的新声音)。Adrian通过Win了解到这一机会,主动联系录音棚提交试音,最终成功接棒,完成了一段温暖的“声音接力”。03. 从摄影师到播音员:Adrian的经历令人意外的是,Adrian并非科班出身的播音员。大学时他主修photograph(摄影),曾为青岛的外文杂志Redstar担任摄影师,并拍摄过多场cultural events(本地文化活动),其中就包括the first French Festival(首届法国音乐节)。而在法国音乐节当天,主播翩翩和Adrian同在现场,shared the same beautiful night,包括the sunset(晚霞), the cool sea breeze(夏日的凉风)and the music。Adrian表示地铁播音的biggest challenge(最大挑战)是pronouncing the Chinese station names perfectly(精准读出中文站名)。例如“石老人海水浴场”、“浮山所”、“观象山”、“台东”等等,他需要反复向录音师请教并repeat it many times(重复练习),才能呈现最终流畅准确的播报。04. Adrian的中国情缘Adrian与中国的缘分始于七岁那年——第一次使用chopsticks(筷子),这让他感受到beautiful dance with my fingers(手指间美妙的舞蹈),从此对中国文化与美食心生向往。他先是在济南生活了三年,经朋友“sell(安利)”Qingdao的seafood(海鲜)与Tsingtao Beer(青岛啤酒)后,就移居到青岛,一晃已经七年。如今他自诩为“老青岛人”,热爱这里的滨海生活与丰富美食,甚至能简单烹饪scrambled eggs with tomatoes(西红柿炒蛋)和fried rice(炒饭)这样的Chinese dishes。从七岁第一次握筷子的小孩,到the voice of the Qingdao Metro(青岛地铁的“声音名片”),Adrian的旅程充满奇妙色彩。他表示:“It really has been an amazing adventure(这真的是一场精彩的冒险)”。当你坐青岛地铁的时候,可以仔细听听报站声,那可能就是Adrian在为你指路。
