This week, Neil Insull and Matt Crawford look at the IFS Green Budget and its warning to Rachel Reeves to avoid “half-baked” tax fixes ahead of the next Budget. They discuss what this could mean for future policy and the pressures facing the Chancellor. They also cover a rare court ruling allowing a judicial review against HMRC five years late, and the Treasury’s plans to tighten the sugar tax, a move that could see drinks like Ribena and Lucozade changing their recipes once again. And in a final twist, they look at a VAT dispute involving laughing gas that proves there’s nothing funny about tax classification.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Can you put a price on freedom of speech? Comedy royalty including Dave Chapelle and Jimmy Carr, famous for defending their right to say whatever they want, have been paid big money by the Saudi government to appear at the inaugural Riyadh Comedy Festival. But there's a catch.... they're not allowed to say anything that could cause "embarrassment" to Saudi Arabia, its royal family or any religion. The outcry has given you a new phrase to learn - "comedy washing". What is comedy washing and what evidence is there Saudi Arabia is trying to carry it out? Why have comedians agreed to perform at the festival and how can they defend their decision? Niall is joined by stand-up comedian and host of the Pod Save The UK podcast Nish Kumar. Producers: Tom Gillespie, Soila Apparicio Editor: Mike Bovill

Seriousness is an occupational hazard for obsessive-compulsives, Type A's and perfectionists. Being serious can hurt relationships, mental health and physical health. Yet many of us feel duty-bound to be serious, and we lose out on the benefits of humor and laughter--which can melt the rigidity which comes with being so serious.

Bookwaves/Artwaves is produced and hosted by Richard Wolinsky. Links to assorted local theater & book venues   Joseph Heller (1923-1999) Joseph Heller, author of Catch-22 and its sequel, Closing Time, in conversation with Richard Wolinsky and Richard A. Lupoff, recorded in San Francisco on October 17, 1994. Since its original publication in 1961, Catch-22 by Joseph Heller has become a classic of anti-war literature, gaining fame during the Vietnam era for its dark and satirical look at American military life. Filmed to middling results by Mike Nichols in 1970, a new miniseries on Hulu has brought the novel back into the spotlight, where its focus on circular reasoning and insanity seems a propos to life during the current American regime. Catch-22 was Joseph Heller's first novel. In the 1970s he wrote the novels Something Happened and Good as Gold, and in the 1980s God Knows and Picture This, and the non-fiction No Laughing Matter about his struggle with Guillan-Barre Syndrome In 1994, Joseph Heller came out with a sequel to Catch-22, titled Closing Time, which deals with what happened to Yossarian and other characters after the end of World War II. This interview was recorded during that book tour and deals with both books, as well as other aspects of his career, along with comparisons to the works of Kurt Vonnegut. Despite respectful reviews and a good reputation, Closing Time is mostly forgotten today, though it is easily available on-line in both paper and e-book. Joseph Heller published a memoir, Now and Then, in 1998, and another novel, Portrait of the Artist as an Old Man, an autobiographical work about an author who is unable to shake the success of his very first novel, was published posthumously in 2000.

Wendell P Williams was born in Saint Joseph Louisiana and received both his master's and bachelor's degrees from Southern University at Baton Rouge LouisianaAfter locating to Las Vegas Nevada, he worked as a classroom teacher and community organizer. His work in education earned him the Crystal Apple Award and among other things the highest award from the National Education Association as well as the MaryMcCloud Bethune Award from the NAACPIn 1987 he was elected to the Nevada Legislature becoming the first teacher in Nevada history to serve in that body. In his freshman term he introduced and passed two paid state holidays, FAMILY DAY and the Dr Martin Luther King state Holiday. Among dozens of countless bills, he authored legislation to rebuild all schools in Las Vegas that were built before 1970. During his 18 years in the Nevada legislature, he served as chairman of theEducation Committee and Judiciary Committee. He later became the first AfricanAmerican to serve as Speaker of the House.His work in the community includes membership in the Masons, the Order of the Elks theOmega Psi Phi Fraternity among a few. He was a columnist for the Las Vegas SentinelVoice Newspaper and was the founder of Power 88 Radio's first community affairs talkshow.His community work resulted in the Clark County School District in 2002 opening the first2 story elementary school in the state in his honor “Wendell Phillips Williams ElementarySchool” in his honor. And in 2004 the City of Las Vegas dedicated Wendell Williams Way anew street in his honor. And among his other awards in 2025 President Joseph Biden presented him with the LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD FOR SERVICE.1n December of 1981, Williams founded the Dr Martin Luther King Jr Committee of LasVegas as well as the Dr Martin Luther King Jr Birthday Parade. Starting with just 13 Entries the Parade has grown to what is considered the largest King Parade in America. And the celebration spans over 10 days with a mart summit that attracts up to 1000 students and the scholarship gala has helped countless students attain higher education over 40 years.The organization was successful among other things changing the former Highland Blvd to what's now Martin Luther King Blvd. and the opening of Martin Luther ElementarySchool.However, Mr. Williams feels that his greatest achievement in life in his life was convincing former Jet Magazine Beauty of the Week, Zelda Pur ear to become Mrs. Wendell P Williams.

In 1844, a Hartford dentist named Dr. Horace Wells attended what was meant to be a simple nitrous oxide exhibition. But while the crowd erupted in laughter, Wells saw something far more serious—a glimpse into the future of painless surgery. What began with promise and innovation quickly turned tragic. Fueled by ambition and obsession, Dr. Wells became one of dentistry's earliest pioneers… and one of its most haunted figures. His descent into madness is a chilling reminder that sometimes, the line between genius and insanity is thinner than a breath of gas. Join Jeff Belanger and Ray Auger as they uncover the unsettling rise and fall of a man who dared to change medicine—only to be undone by the very discovery he believed would save him. This time, the joke may have been on him.

On the forty- first episode of All the Film Things, I talked with the Film Production Coordinator for the City of Jacksonville, director/ editor Adam Madrid! Adam Madrid, who some of us regard as “the king of Jacksonville”, is an integral figure in Jacksonville who started out working as a freelancer making films, music videos, and even commercials for the Jacksonville Jaguars before becoming the Film Production Coordinator for the City of Jacksonville last year. He has been awarded the Art Innovator Award by the Cultural Council of Greater Jacksonville in 2023 and is amongst this year's Leadership Jacksonville class. Alongside his wife Monique, Adam is the City Producer for the 48 hour film project in Jacksonville and the co- founder of the LOL Jacksonville Film Festival. Adam is also the co- founder of the production company Argyle Forest Films and directs, co- produces, and co- edits every versatile film made under the company including “A Novel Idea” and “No Laughing Matter”, which won the Jacksonville 48 hour film project in 2014 leading the short to be screened at Filmapalooza in Hollywood the next year.Adam's directorial feature debut, Let Me Be Corey, is a comedy film that's been six years in the making! The film will be out very soon and I'll keep you all updated on its release on the ATFT Instagram! While you're waiting for Let Me Be Corey to premiere and later hit streaming, check out some of Adam's past work on the Argyle Forest Films Youtube channel by clicking this link!: https://www.youtube.com/@ArgyleForestFilms This is Adam's first appearance on ATFT! Adam and I met about a year ago at Jax Film Bar. It was very casual as, if I remember correctly, we were just eating dinner and someone between us had got up so we briefly talked and now, as I've gotten to know him a little more, I am seriously in awe of his journey and his passion for Jacksonville. He is the community leader this city needs and his dedication along with his motivated mindset is going to elevate Jacksonville to the film city it is. Every time I have the pleasure of chatting with him I feel inspired and motivated, especially since he's been a champion of this podcast which I cannot be more grateful for his support. This episode was recorded on April 24, 2025. In this episode, Adam talks about how his motivation and passion for filmmaking got him to where he is today, as a leading figure in the Jacksonville film industry. Filmmakers, specifically those in the 904 area, will especially benefit from Adam's interview and will be inspired to keep making films and spread the word about the city. Adam also explains the tax incentives for filming in Jacksonville, the current state of the arts in Jacksonville universities, and how he's spread the word about Jacksonville all around the world. We also discuss beloved comedy actors in stellar dramatic roles, our shared appreciation for Claire Danes, and teasing what's to come for the Jacksonville's film scene, and much more! All this and much more on the latest episode of All the Film Things!Background music created and used with permission by the Copyright Free Music - Background Music for Videos channel on YouTube.Sound Effect by freesound_community from Pixabay

Episode #972 Ever made a joke that didn't land—but didn't realize until later how deep it cut? We originally released this episode a while back, but it hit home for so many men that we knew it was worth revisiting. If you've ever found yourself thinking, “I'm just joking—what's the big deal?” this might be the perspective shift you didn't know you needed. In this conversation, we get real about the difference between light-hearted teasing and the kind of humor that slowly chips away at trust. We share how even a small joke can come across as criticism, especially when the emotional “bank account” in your relationship is running low. You'll hear why your wife might not find your teasing funny, how to read the energy behind your jokes, and what to do when your humor starts creating distance instead of connection. If laughter really is the best medicine, we need to make sure we're not using it as a weapon.

Fair News Weekly | 4/25/25

This week's question gave us lots to talk about but not too much to chuckle about. We had a great conversation about jokes and comedy and when certain jokes may or may not be acceptable! What do you think?   If you're interested in seeing where the questions we're using come from, google “Arthur Aron's 36 Questions”.

Hey Everyone, Angela Bowen here, the host of She's A Small Wonder: A Small Wonder Podcast. Today, I covered S4E9: My Favorite Martian, which aired on November 19, 1988. In this episode Brandon sees Vicki's hologram of an alien spaceship. Just Brandon being a massive dum dum per usual. The family decides to have fun with him by using Vicki to pretend she's an alien, after Brandon alerts (what I refer to thanks to the show ALF) as the ATF (Alien Task Force) to investigate this strange phenomenon. Vicki the alien tells Brandon that if he says he never saw any spaceship than her kind will make him King of their planet, he of course buys this charade and pretends he didn't see anything. Weird episode, but a bit better than the other 3. S4E10: Mommie Dearest, which aired on November 26,1988. In this episode, Joan's father comes for a visit, and Ida Mae decides he's going to be her next husband, since he's a doctor and she's a money hungry be-otch. I could not stand this episode or Ida Mae, this character does not need to exist on this show at ALL! S4E11: No Laughing Matter, which aired on December 4, 1988. In this episode Vicki leaks nitrous oxide ( we don't see this until the last 10 minutes of the episode, Jamie teaches for a week ( we don't get to see any of him teaching just the after effects of the kids failing the test (what a cop-out, I know we weren't going to get Cory/'Mr. Feeny level Teacher of the Week episode), but honestly it would have been nice to actually see him teach. S4E12: Tag, You're It, which aired on December 11, 1988. Ok, so this episode must have been filmed earlier because Jamie's already been in school for a while and now it's talking about the first day of 8th grade and also Harriet is now going to his school because she skipped a grade and is now in 6th grade (I call bullsh*t on this). Jamie's trying to get this valley girl speaking airhead of a girl to ask him to the dance ( I swear most of the girl's he's been into this season all have that (like whatever valley girl tone to their dialogue) it's grating on my nerves. It's basically a Sadie Hawkins dance where the girls ask the boys or (according to Full House a Backwards Dance)> Harriet makes it her mission to get Jamie to take her she just has to tag him (you know, like the game). Vicki is made the Hall Monitor giving out demerits to the students thanks to the new Vice Principal played by Marcia Wallace known for her role of Ms. Krabappel on The Simpsons. As far as these episodes go, they were all that good, not too surprising, since it's the last Season of the show. Have a good April and I'll see you towards the end of the month for the next 4 episodes in Season 4.

Influential ResourcesIzaac credits several books for shaping his artistic mindset and career. Early on, works like Think and Grow Rich and How to Win Friends and Influence People taught him the power of manifestation and networking. Books such as 48 Laws of Power and Mastery reinforced the importance of focus and continual skill development. Other impactful reads include The Power of Habit, The Obstacle Is the Way, Ego Is the Enemy, Origins of Creativity, and Algorithms to Live By. Together,these resources helped him navigate the challenges of being an independent creative, a path that requires both mental resilience and adaptability.Mission and philosophy At the heart of Izaac's work lies a mission to highlight social issues and spark dialogue. Through the ambiguity of his art,he invites viewers to extract personalized meanings, often resulting in interpretations that reflect opposing perspectives.Far from being a flaw, Izaac sees this duality as a reflection of human complexity and the contradictions that define society.For Izaac, art is a tool to illuminate these nuances and hypocrisies, providing a medium capable of capturing the layered realities of the modern world.Jan21thIzaac Baron Zevalking Artist
