These days, country and pop acts regularly invade each other's territory. But in Nashville during the 1970s, “crossover” was a dirty word. Then came two rising stars who offered up a new hybrid of Americana-style pop.John Denver infused his folk balladry with homespun lyrics about country roads and wide-open skies. Olivia Newton-John sang over twangy melodies that belied her British-Australian roots. Both faced backlash—especially when they started topping the country and pop charts simultaneously and winning prizes that used to go to Nashville legends.Eventually, both artists outgrew country music. Denver became a ubiquitous entertainer and beloved Muppet wingman.

Disney is having a moment and this episode covers three very different reasons why. Eric and Lauren dig into the surprise ratings success of The Muppets' 50th anniversary special, break down why Marvel's Wonder Man quietly became a sleeper hit on Disney Plus, and wrap things up with a look at Disney California Adventure's 25th anniversary and the popcorn bucket chaos that came with it. From broadcast TV demos to streaming strategy and park optics, this one moves fast and covers a lot of ground. HIGHLIGHTS The Muppets' 50th anniversary special delivers strong ABC ratings and wins the key 18–49 demo Why those numbers matter to advertisers and what they could mean for a potential weekly revival The Sabrina Carpenter bump and how celebrity guests factor into Muppets nostalgia and reach Bob Iger and Josh D'Amaro spotted at Disneyland and the symbolism of that park appearance Marvel's Wonder Man emerges as a sleeper hit with critics and viewers despite minimal marketing Why a lower-budget, character-driven Marvel series may point to a smarter streaming future Disney California Adventure turns 25 and sparks long lines thanks to a high-tech Ferris wheel popcorn bucket The ongoing reseller debate and whether Disney should crack down harder on merch flippers For this episode's full show notes, ⁠click here⁠.

The Muppets are back! On this episode of The DIZPod, we break down Disney's new Muppets series, compare it to the original classic Muppets Show, and explore how Jim Henson's creations evolved from variety TV legends to modern streaming stars. Does the new show capture the heart, humor, and chaos that made Kermit, Miss Piggy, Fozzie, and Gonzo icons? Plus, we dive into key moments in Muppets history and what this revival means for the future of the franchise.

Kenzie and Sherman (the dog who lived!) are back to talk all things Traitors, Opalite music video, and the Muppets. The girls are also tired of Kelsea Ballerini/Chase Stokes drama and have some thoughts on doubles luge.

This week we're lollygagging around a rapid fire covering a range of topics, animal Olympics, what a lap of shame would look like for sports outside of the Olympics, a Muppet movie swap, an AL East preview, and more!

Welcome to the 7th season finale of the Knowledge of Nothing (KON) podcast! Where your hosts, Tony, Brian, Oren and Wayne (aka the KONMen) discuss their favorite inane, somewhat entertaining, and occasionally educational topics from the past season. This finale episode of the season was recorded on Super Bowl Sunday so the guys divvy up SB bingo cards to see which KONMan is King of the Bowl! The guys then tease what is in store for the debut of Season 8, which will be both entertaining and cringeworthy. Next Tony shares his thoughts on the return of the Muppets, Wayne shares a new music genre called “Yacht House”, and then Professor Robert returns with some controversial explanations to questions from last week's show. This show closes with your KONMen's favorite moments from Season 7 and there were plenty to choose from. Was your favorite KON segment mentioned? Did you forget some of these memorable moments? You'll have to tune in to find out!Contact us at info@theknowledgeofnothing.com and follow us on our socials!https://www.facebook.com/theknowledgeofnothing/Instagram: @theknowledgeofnothingTwitter: @TheKONMen1

The Muppets Are Back, Star Wars Marketing Headaches#podcast #muppets #starwars

Today on another encore episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast, we are talking to Hugo Morley, grandson of the great actor, pitchman, foodie and much beloved Robert Morley. It's strange what stays with you as a you grow older but for host josh Mills, the obsession with the Morley film, Who's Killing the Great Chef's of Europe is right up there on this episode. We discuss this offbeat comedic crime caper as well as Morley being the face of an entire nation as the spokesman for British Airways. And that's just the Yank version of Robert Morley. For Britons and Australians, Robert Morley was known more for the 100+ films he made, beginning in 1939 which garnered him an Academy Award nomination opposite Norma Shearer and Tyrone Power in Marie Antoinette. We also learn about Hugo's father, noted U.K. theatre critic Sheridan Morley, an especially wonderful friendship with Carol Channing, along with Yul Brenner, Eli Wallach, David Tomlinson and Griff Rhys Jones as well. All played a part in Hugo's time with his grandfather and his father. Of course we discuss his grandfather's love of cuisine, time spend at grandpa's back garden pool and his ever present cigars. And did we mention Robert Morley's time in the Muppet movies? Well, sit back and relax and check out this episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast and learn about how to become a bartender and not make a mixed drink to boot. Everyone has a story.

We go inside the real succession story within the Murdoch family media empire. It includes Fox News, The Wall Street Journal and the New York Post. In 2023 Rupert Murdoch chose his eldest son and most conservative child, Lachlan, as his successor – buying out three of his other children from the family trust and estranging them in the process. “His dream was to build a family business.
