Podcasts about normal lear

Today, Ali and Asif discuss the career of the late Norman Lear (0:54) They discuss his early life (and how he based some of his characters on his parents), his military service and how he later began writing for television shows. They discuss his big breakthrough with ‘All in the Family' and the various shows that sprung from it, including ‘Maude', ‘Good times', ‘The Jeffersons', ‘One Day at a Time' and many others. The guys then discuss Lear's legacy and whether shows like ‘All in the Family' could be made now.    Normal Lear's official cause of death was due to “natural causes”. In the second half of the episode (23:41), the guys discuss exactly what this term means. Asif starts out by discussing how this is often used by coroners and pathologists, and distinguishes it from ‘non-natural causes'. Asif goes over the common causes of death in various parts of the world.  The opinions expressed are those of the hosts, and do not reflect those of any other organizations.

The "Dirty Sons of Pitches" are carrying on through the 1990s examining one year every episode, and this time it's the movies of 1992, with the guys watching Robert Altman's Hollywood satire and career comeback "The Player" and then a schlocky Full Moon Pictures horror movie Ben has always wanted to watch, "Seedpeople." Available on apple and Spotify Episode 395 includes: -R.I.P. Normal Lear, Andre Braugher, but definitely not Henry Kissinger -"Beau is Afraid" sure is... soemthing, and "Saltburn" leaves a bad taste in your mouth.  -Behold the tansphobic travesty that is The Daily Wire's sports "comedy" called "Lady Ballers." -By the Decade -- 1992 -- "Seedpeople" / "The Player" -The guys work through their disappointment with both movies, discussing why "Seedpeople" grows tiresome despite some killer creature design, and why the comedy of "The Player" might be too droll or inside-baseball to really land as comedy in our modern day and age.

Today on the Rarified Heir Podcast we are talking to educator & author Larry Strauss, whose mother is well known to both Broadway fans and sitcom fans alike, none other than Edna Garrett herself, the incomparable Charlotte Rae. It was a fascinating talk with Larry because there were so many connections and parallels to host Josh Mills' own life as both Charlotte Rae and Josh's mother Edie Adams starred in L'il Abner on Broadway in 1956 as Mammy Yokum and Daisy Mae respectively. Much of the episode centers around all things Normal Lear, Diff'rent Strokes, The Facts of Life and theatre friends like Zero Mostel who once came to a party at their New York Apartment and ended up watching a Knicks game with Larry. We also learn about John Strauss, Larry's dad, a Grammy and Emmy winner who not only co-wrote the theme songs for Car 54, Where Are You? and The Phil Silvers Show but produced the soundtrack to the Milos Forman film Amadeus but frequently collaborated on three early Woody Allen films.  But there is a lot more to this discussion. We also talk about some serious hardships and familial love as Larry's older brother Andrew suffered from autism, epilepsy and schizophrenia in the 1950s and 1960s when there simply was no help for children with special needs like there is now. Somehow, that dogged persistence by his mother and father to help Andrew led Larry to a career as an English teacher in the LAUSD school system and it was his own persistence and belief in his students, that finds father's day cards in his mailbox from those same students for all his hard work and belief In them. In addition to teaching, Larry writes a column for USA Today, he co-wrote his mother's autobiography My Facts of Life and on the eve of publication, we talk to him about his latest novel, Light Man, a fictionalized story that takes place in a city in the decline. Set in 1973 New York, it touches upon some of the very topics mentioned above. Oh the places you'll go on this episode of the Rarified Heir Podcast.
