This week, Ira dives into glitz, grit, and glamour with Diane Christiansen—dancer, educator, and author of "The Last Real Showgirl: My Sequined '70s Onstage." (She will also appear on “Ira's Everything Bagel” this Thursday-https://iraseverythingbagel.com/) At just 13, Diane set her sights on becoming a Rockette. By 17, she nailed the audition and never looked back—rarely needing to audition again, save for a memorable encounter with Jerry Jackson at the Tropicana. From the fine line between dancer and showgirl to becoming one at the age of 18 (no easy feat!), Diane shares how she found joy, strength, and sisterhood in the dazzling world of showbiz. She opens up about her journey from the chorus line to Las Vegas lights, becoming a “swing girl” for the nudes at the iconic Tropicana, and what inspired her to finally pen her memoir—especially after a reunion of showgirls from multiple generations. Diane also reflects on why grand showgirl productions may never return, the essential teamwork behind the sequins, the legacy of legends like Donn Arden and Miss Bluebell, staying grounded and grateful, and her passion for mentoring the next generation (as well as current generation) of actors through the Christiansen Acting Academy. It's a glittering, heartfelt, and unforgettable conversation you won't want to miss. (Also Watch Full Podcast Video)

Visit Patreon.com/psychopediapod for loads of exclusive content and to join our family of psychos! Trigger warning: This episode discusses difficult topics including suicide, homicide, and other forms of trauma.  Please listen with caution. What comes to mind when you think of "black metal" music? Face paint, screams laced with hate, rage, aggression. Most metalheads might talk a big game about Satan, death, and destruction, but in reality are often mild-mannered accountants or kindergarten teachers who can't even stand the sight of blood. But what if the darkness wasn't just for show? What if the chaos, the obsession with death, and the destruction wasn't a stage persona but a way of life (and death)? This was the grim reality for Mayhem, a Norwegian black metal band formed just outside Oslo in 1984, widely regarded as the pioneers of the Norwegian black metal scene. Their infamy goes far beyond the music they created or the genre they helped define—it's rooted in the pure, unrelenting chaos, violence, and nihilism they embodied. Onstage, offstage, and in the very depths of their existence, they lived what many would only dare to perform: satanic worship, neo-Nazism, arson, cannibalism, suicide, and murder. As the band name suggests, this case is absolute mayhem.

This video is part of the Journey to Diagnosis series, produced by Being Patient with support provided by Eli Lilly. Learn more about Journey to Diagnosis: https://www.beingpatient.com/journey-to-diagnosis/ Award-winning playwright and performer Samuel A. Simon joined Being Patient live talks to discuss his experience with Alzheimer's and developing and performing his autobiographical play about his diagnosis journey, “Dementia Man, an Existential Journey.” Before becoming involved in theatre as a playwright and performer, Simon worked as a lawyer for Ralph Nader's first advocacy group. He then spent 25 years as head of a public affairs firm. After he sold his firm, he became involved with theatre, with his first play, “The Actual Dance, Love's Ultimate Journey Through Breast Cancer,” which has toured from 2013 to the present. In 2021, this play was turned into an award-winning biography. In 2018, Simon was diagnosed with mild-cognitive impairment and in 2021 with early-stage Alzheimer's. He used his experience in his previous play to develop “Dementia Man, an Existential Journey.” In the play, he shares his “existential journey” as he navigates diagnosis and living with dementia. He also imagines a future for the millions of others living with the disease and what that would look like. Directed by Thadd McQuade with dramaturgy by Gabrielle Maisels, “Dementia Man, An Existential Journey” made its world premiere at Capital Fringe in Washington D.C. in July 2023 and is the recipient of the 2023 Dementia Arts Impact Award by the Dementia Spring Foundation. He continues to tour performances of the play throughout the United States. Simon lives in Mclean, Virginia, with his wife Susan. They have two children and four grandchildren. He is under medical treatment for Alzheimer's disease and took part in a clinical trial.

Onstage at Outsolve's HR Gumbo Conference in New Orleans, Keith Sonderling, the former Commissioner of the EEOC, joins Chad & Cheese to discuss major trends in employment discrimination and the evolving role of AI in HR. He notes a significant spike in discrimination charges post-recession, particularly age discrimination, followed by increases in sexual harassment, equal pay, and racial discrimination claims due to various societal movements and events. Sonderling highlights the broad applicability of the Executive Order on Cybersecurity across all sectors and the challenges of managing discrimination claims, especially with the rise in religious exemptions post-COVID vaccine mandates. He also addresses the complexities of returning to office post-pandemic, disability discrimination, particularly mental health claims, and generational workplace dynamics. The conversation delves into the legal implications of AI in hiring, emphasizing the need for bias audits and the potential for AI to reduce traditional hiring biases if properly implemented. Lastly, the guys touch on the legislative landscape for AI in HR and the risks of fraud in emerging tech like the metaverse, concluding with the importance of clear policies and verification processes to ensure fairness and compliance.

Send us a textUnveiling The Game-Changing Black Box Prompter: How It's Enhancing Performance Onstage#music #prompter #musicindustry #blackboxprompter #gamechanger #onstage #newtechnology Tory Smith is a guitarist and manager of two successful cover bands in Dallas who understands the importance of confidence and composure for live performers. With years of experience on stage, Tory has seen how critical it is for musicians to connect fully with their audience.A passionate advocate for live music, Tory has observed a growing reliance among performers on tablets and smartphones for lyrics and chords. While these tools can be useful, Tory noticed they often hinder performers from delivering their best and most engaging shows.Recognizing that musicians of all levels—from weekend hobbyists to professional touring artists—frequently use viewable lyrics as “memory aids,” Tory sought a solution that could provide the same reassurance without the distractions of screens and stands.Partnering with a fellow musician and IoT software engineer, Tory embarked on a mission to revolutionize the stage experience.Together, they developed the BLACK BOX Prompter, a sleek and nearly invisible smart prompter designed to replace mobile devices and music stands entirely. The device requires no additional software or templates and is so intuitive that even 80-year-old musicians can operate it using its three simple pedals.With BLACK BOX Prompter, Tory is empowering amateur players, touring professionals, church bands, and other performers to take the stage with confidence. Thanks to this innovative tool, every lyric and chord is delivered with passion, clarity, and assurance, enhancing the connection between performers and their audiences.

Erella Grassiani is universitair hoofddocent antropologie aan de Universiteit van Amsterdam. Ze doet o.a. onderzoek naar de Israëlische bewapenings- en veiligheidsindustrie die sterk verbonden is met de universiteiten aldaar. Ze sloot zich daarom deze zomer aan bij de studentenprotesten die er voor pleitten de banden met Israëlische universiteiten te verbreken.  Grassiani is van Israëlisch-Nederlandse afkomst, maar al decennia lang zeer kritisch over de Israëlische bezetting van de Palestijnse gebieden. Ze is van mening dat Israël genocide pleegt in Gaza. Ze bezoekt haar Israëlische familie en vrienden -ook nu- regelmatig en kijkt met haar antropologische blik naar hoe politiek, media en onderwijs steeds meer overtuigd raken dat deze oorlog volstrekt gerechtvaardigd is. Nadia Moussaid is programmamaker bij de VPRO en presenteert het muziekprogramma On Stage. Vanaf 23 december is de vijfdelige documentaireserie De Onmisbaren met haar te zien. Eerder deed ze een Marathoninterview met Ulli d'Oliveira. 

The December holidays are the weekend of the year, when normal routines loosen up. Today's Davisville arrives in that spirit — no civic issues today. Instead I reconnect with a friend I hadn't talked with in decades, Teresa Ozoa. She and I were two of the 13 cast members in our high school's production of 12 Angry Jurors, a play where most of the 12 believe the accused is guilty, and one juror strongly dissents. Onstage, we were putting on a show. Offstage, many of us were facing big changes and trying to figure out where we were headed. Teresa became a teacher, lawyer, and then teacher again. In the first half of today's show she talks about teaching empathy and how she adapted Google's genius hour for her high school students; in the second half we remember the play, including the pre-rehearsal exercise when we all went to dinner in character -- a dozen teenagers, acting out conflict. You'll hear some background noises in this recording, plus an inquisitive cat. The music at the end comes from "Universal Mind Decoder," later part of the song "Change is Now," by the Byrds. I annoyed friends in high school by talking up the band as much as I did. I still love their music.

James Taylor's songs are so familiar that they seem to have always existed. Onstage at the New Yorker Festival, in 2010, Taylor peeled back some of his influences—the Beatles, Bach, show tunes, and Antônio Carlos Jobim—and played a few of his hits, even giving the staff writer Adam Gopnik a quick lesson.This segment originally aired on July 7, 2017.

"Looking back now, cancer gave me something to fight for at a time when I felt like maybe life wasn't worth fighting for." - Dylan Slattery Dylan Slattery, VP at ClaimsBridge and motivational speaker at Stage Four 2 On Stage, joined me this week to share his powerful story of beating stage four cancer against all odds, beating it again when it recurred, and how that experience completely changed his perspective on life and healthcare. Dylan was diagnosed with stage 4 melanoma completely out of nowhere at the age of 23. We discussed the traditional treatment plan that he initially followed, and the somewhat experimental immunotherapy treatment that actually worked.  We also discussed the impact that diagnosis had on his family, his friends, and him, what kept him fighting in his darkest moments, and why he wants to continue to share his story to inspire others.  Chapters: 00:00:00 Meet Dylan Slattery 00:11:33 Stage Four Melanoma Diagnosis 00:19:47 Dylan's Healthcare Journey 00:27:21 Why Immunotherapy Worked For Dylan 00:38:07 Melanoma Reoccurrence and Recovery 00:48:24 Simplifying Healthcare Communication 00:53:29 Enhancing Employee Well-being Through Healthcare 00:55:56 The Financial Barriers in Accessing Healthcare Services Key Links for Social: @SelfFunded on YouTube for video versions of the podcast and much more - https://www.youtube.com/@SelfFunded Listen on Spotify - https://open.spotify.com/show/1TjmrMrkIj0qSmlwAIevKA?si=068a389925474f02 Listen on Apple Podcasts - https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/self-funded-with-spencer/id1566182286 Follow Spencer on LinkedIn - https://www.linkedin.com/in/spencer-smith-self-funded/ Follow Spencer on Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/selffundedwithspencer/ Key Words:  melanoma, terminal, immunotherapy, cancer survivorship, healthcare journey, healthcare costs, cancer awareness wellness management, patient advocacy, survivor, cancer, stage four, stage 4, podcast, health, healthcare, health insurance, self funded, self funding #melanoma #terminal #immunotherapy #cancersurvivorship #healthcarejourney #healthcarecosts #cancerawareness #wellnessmanagement #patientadvocacy #survivor #cancer #stagefour #stage4 #podcast #health #healthcare #healthinsurance #selffunded #selffunding --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/spencer-harlan-smith/support
