With war, political wrangling and price hikes jockeying for headlines, it's a rare thing to sit for an hour with a large group of strangers and focus on the small pleasures in life. But that's what the show “Every Brilliant Thing” is all about. Since 2013, Duncan Macmillan's audience-participation-heavy play has been performed in dozens of languages in hundreds of locations across the globe. It revolves around a central character who writes a list of all the good things in life for a depressed parent. And while it tackles dark subject matter — including frequent mentions of a loved one's suicide — it may be one of the funniest shows about depression, ever. In this episode of “The Sunday Daily,” Michael Barbaro talks with Daniel Radcliffe, who currently stars in a Broadway production of the show, and Mariska Hargitay, who will step into the role in a few weeks. We'll also hear from the playwright and several other actors who have performed the play on stages, in living rooms, on basketball courts and aircraft carriers all over the world.

The podcast continues its spring season theater coverage this week! The hotly anticipated play from writer Lindsey Ferrentino, The Fear of 13, opened last week on Broadway at the James Earl Jones Theatre. Adapted from a documentary of the same name, the play is a semi-fictionalized depiction of the real-life events of Nick Yarris, a man who was wrongfully accused and convicted of rape and murder, and spent 22 years imprisoned, before finally being exonerated by DNA evidence. Two seasoned actors, Adrien Brody and Tessa Thompson, bring this story to life, with Brody in the role of Yarris and Thompson playing a prison volunteer with whom he falls in love. For both actors, this was their Broadway debut, and they sat down with Senior Editor of Features and News, Marley Marius, to talk about it. They talk about the theater rituals and also the nerves that go into performing this work. “I've had a lot of trepidation if I'm going to be honest,” Brody said of telling Yarris' story, “just because of the enormity of the task.” They spoke about how this story is not only the story of Yarris, but an unfortunately relatable tale for so many folks in America who have family and loved ones in the carceral system. The pair reflected on the immense obligation of telling a real and alive person's story. Yarris, now a free man, has been highly instrumental in the rehearsal process, attending table reads and performances alike. He also joined the pair on the red carpet for opening night. When it comes to this kind of work “whether they're in the room or not, they are in the room,” Thompson explained, “So then when they're literally in the room, it's a completely different thing.” Crucial to Yarris' experience in prison was his love of reading, a love so strong he referred to it as an addiction to books. Thompson, in an homage to her character Jacki who is a PhD candidate in poetry, has created a little library of books in her dressing room. There, she keeps several volumes of Charles Simic poetry and has also been known to read Mary Oliver and Nabokov's Lolita (a problematic fav of hers). When they aren't in rehearsal or performances, Brody and Thompson have pretty distinct approaches to how they spend their time. Brody, a homebody and true multi-hyphenate, busies himself making music—or “beats” as Thompson fondly refers to them—and cooking sweet potato stews. Thompson, on the other hand, is looking forward to having a bit more free time now to see other shows on this season and find the little speakeasies tucked in and around the theater district.

In this episode of the Alcohol Minimalist Podcast, Molly talks with J.W. Wiseman, founder of Curious Elixirs, about the rise of craft non-alcoholic cocktails and why they matter so much for people who want a more peaceful relationship with alcohol. J.W. shares how his own desire to drink less led him to create one of the earliest brands in the non-alcoholic beverage space, long before “sober curious” became a mainstream term. Together, Molly and J.W. explore the idea that drinking less does not have to mean settling for something boring, basic, or deprived—it can still feel elevated, flavorful, social, and deeply satisfying. From the origins of Curious Elixirs in 2015 to the role of functional herbs, adaptogens, and intentional drink design, this conversation offers a fresh look at how non-alcoholic beverages can support people across the sobriety spectrum. Molly also challenges the common belief that a drink needs alcohol to be worth enjoying, reminding listeners that taste, ritual, and experience matter too. In This Episode, You'll Hear: Why J.W. started Curious Elixirs before the term “sober curious” even existed How non-alcoholic beverages can support a more intentional relationship with alcohol Why flavor, ritual, and connection matter more than alcohol itself How Curious Elixirs helped pioneer the craft, functional non-alcoholic cocktail category The role of herbs and adaptogens in creating drinks that feel sophisticated and supportive Why “less alcohol” does not have to mean “less fun” How J.W.'s own drinking habits pushed him to rethink what he wanted alcohol to do in his life Key TakeawaysJ.W. explains that people do not need alcohol to have fun—they need connection, intention, and something that genuinely feels good in their body. That idea aligns beautifully with the Alcohol Minimalist philosophy: creating a relationship with alcohol that is conscious, peaceful, and free from all-or-nothing thinking. This episode also highlights an important mindset shift: non-alcoholic drinks are not “less than.” They can be crafted, complex, beautiful, and worthy of the same appreciation people often reserve for alcoholic beverages. Molly and J.W. discuss how that reframe opens up more options for people who want to drink less without feeling like they are missing out. And finally, J.W.'s story is a reminder that change often starts with curiosity. What began as a personal effort to cut back and reset his tolerance eventually became a company built to help others find more freedom and flexibility in how they drink. About the GuestJ.W. Wiseman is the founder of Curious Elixirs, one of the early leaders in the non-alcoholic cocktail movement. Before launching the company in 2015, he worked across media, marketing, and hospitality, including roles with NBC, Broadway, Thrillist, and Skillshare, before founding his own agency, Good Business. Mentioned in This EpisodeCurious Elixirs The “sober curious” movement Functional herbs and adaptogens Curious Red The Curious Elixirs flavor quiz Molly's idea of living “mostly alcohol-free” Low risk drinking guidelines from the NIAAA:Healthy men under 65:No more than 4 drinks in one day and no more than 14 drinks per week.Healthy women (all ages) and healthy men 65 and older:No more than 3 drinks in one day and no more than 7 drinks per week.One drink is defined as 12 ounces of beer, 5 ounces of wine, or 1.5 ounces of 80-proof liquor. So remember that a mixed drink or full glass of wine are probably more than one drink.Abstinence from alcoholAbstinence from alcohol is the best choice for people who take medication(s) that interact with alcohol, have health conditions that could be exacerbated by alcohol (e.g. liver disease), are pregnant or may become pregnant or have had a problem with alcohol or another substance in the past.Benefits of “low-risk” drinkingFollowing these guidelines reduces the risk of health problems such as cancer, liver disease, reduced immunity, ulcers, sleep problems, complications of existing conditions, and more. It also reduces the risk of depression, social problems, and difficulties at school or work. ★ Support this podcast ★

Patti LuPone – three-time Tony and two-time Grammy Award winner – has long reigned as one of Broadway's most formidable leading ladies. In this edition of In The Studio, we join her in New York for a highly anticipated solo concert at Carnegie Hall. Best known for defining roles in Evita, Les Miserables, Gypsy, and Sunset Boulevard, LuPone has also sustained a decades-long parallel life on the concert stage – a career she says began simply to “offset unemployment” between Broadway runs. What started as late-night cabaret after Evita evolved into meticulously structured touring shows, each built around narrative, character and the power of lyrics. Her current programme, Matters of the Heart, weaves a tapestry of love stories – from romance and heartbreak to family and devotion – revealing her instinct to treat every song as theatre. Patti describes her routine on the day of the concert: the soundcheck, the balancing of quartet and voice in a hall famed for its natural acoustics, and the quiet rituals that precede performance. LuPone reflects on nerves, storytelling and the audacity of standing alone before 2,800 expectant faces. Alongside her collaborators, including musical director Joseph Thalken, she reveals the discipline and trust behind the scenes. This is a portrait of craft at the highest level – the artist, the venue and the alchemy of live performance.Presenter and producer: Victoria Ferran Executive producer: Susan Marling A Just Radio production for BBC World ServiceImage: Patti LuPone (Credit: Emilio Madrid)

Interview Date: April 12th, 2026Episode SummaryIn this episode of The Business of Dance Podcast, Alicia Mae Holloway shares her extraordinary journey from a small-town competition dancer in West Virginia to building a multifaceted career in ballet, commercial dance, modeling, acting, and social media. She reflects on knowing from the age of three that dance was her purpose, and how that conviction led her to leave home at just 13 years old to pursue elite ballet training. From earning a full scholarship to the School of American Ballet to landing her first professional contracts, Alicia's story is one of deep faith, resilience, and bold commitment to her dreams.Alicia also opens up about the realities of a long professional career: painful auditions, injuries, rejection, career pivots, and the mental challenges that dancers face when their identity is tied so closely to performance. She shares how Dance Theatre of Harlem shaped her artistry, how social media unexpectedly expanded her career, and why authenticity matters more than perfection in today's entertainment world. Her advice to young dancers is both practical and inspiring: stay true to yourself, embrace being multidimensional, and remember that rejection is often redirection.Top 10 Show Notes3:58 — Alicia knew dance was her calling6:17 — West Virginia scholarship changed everything9:35 — Moved away from home at 1414:21 — Worst audition led to first contract19:49 — Six-hour audition booked Dance Theatre Harlem21:17 — Mentor predicted her DTH future27:40 — TikTok consistency sparked massive growth35:45 — Talent plus visibility creates more opportunities57:05 — Rejection is redirection, not the end1:09:14 — Dance for yourself, not approvalBiography:Alicia Mae Holloway is from Morgantown, West Virginia and began dancing when she was three years old at Kat and Company Dance Studio.

Actress Jennie Garth joins Sam to talk about her new book I Choose Me, and how to balance scarcity and abundance mindsets. They talk about the concept of choosing yourself and how Jennie first uttered those words on 90210 over 30 years ago (and how she's rewatching it for the first time now). They talk about what to do when your kids get older and won't need you as much anymore, walking into rooms and wondering why they're there, and how impossible it must be for menopausal women to remember their lines on Broadway. Jennie talks about leaning on other people to make big decisions and learning to take a beat before a big choice. They talk about imposter syndrome and how Martha Stewart might be the only person not suffering from it, and how important it is to know when a friendship stops being additive to your life.

The Bald and the Beautiful with Trixie Mattel and Katya Zamo
Premiering this Summer off off off Broadway, it's "Bobby & the Ice Queens"! From a fired usher at "Spider Man: Turn Off the Dark" comes the glitter-drenched fever dream no sane theater critic saw coming: a disco-soaked, high-kicking spectacle about Robert Khennady Jr., a wealthy socialite from a famous family by day, a debaucherous nose-candy-sniffing creature by night! Bobby tears through the 70s and 80s in the first act with a blizzard of Studio 54 chaos, toilet-seat-snorting bedlam, and enough raw wealth and privilege to frost the entire Eastern Seaboard. Starring Timothée Chalamet's pilates instructor as Bobby, the sheer insanity erupts into an even more deranged second act, where the stage lights blaze on a chorus line of dancing measles, a rock-tinged raw-milk gospel revival chorus, and a hellfire tap number that denounces fluoride as the very mouthwash of Satan himself! In a spectacle of pure sparkling lunacy, Bobby is swept into a torrid, torch-song love affair with a sexy brain worm so hot, so seductive, and so codependent it gets its very own curtain call. Just when the audience thinks the madness has peaked, the orchestra detonates into a scandal-soaked Central Park fantasia involving a dead bear, a city in shock, and free teriyaki bear jerky under every audience-member's seat! It is monstrous, majestic, and unapologetically unwell; just like the times we're living in. This rhinestone apocalypse of sin, camp, and scandal will leave Broadway gasping for air and begging for more. Get your tickets now!
