Here’s a topic that’s often overlooked, dismissed, or shrouded in stigma: sexual longevity and desire in midlife and beyond.We are living longer than ever before. The average woman today can expect to live well into her 80s, with decades of life post-menopause. And yet, the messaging we receive about sexuality often suggests that desire dwindles, pleasure fades, and our sensual selves should quietly retire. Spoiler alert: That’s not true.Joining me today is Dr. Kelly Casperson, a board-certified Urologist, sexual medicine expert, author of You Are Not Broken, and host of the podcast of the same name. On a recent trip to Australia to headline the So Hot Right Now event, a juggernaut of a women’s health and menopause movement, held at the Opera House, Dr Kelly brought down the house with her frank approach to sexual health and longevity. She has made it her mission to debunk myths about female pleasure, break down the science of sexual function, and empower women to reclaim their bodies, desire, and confidence at any stage of life. From hormonal changes and genitourinary health to the impact of mindset, medical treatments, and modern sexual wellness products, we’ll cover what women need to know to have a thriving sex life—not just in their 20s, but in their 40s, 50s, 60s, and well beyond. Key Takeaways: Sexual health is a vital part of overall well-being and longevity Desire often shifts due to hormonal changes—especially during menopause Common issues like dryness are widespread, but not “normal” Urologists play a crucial role in supporting female sexual function Better sex education is needed—most women weren’t taught the basics Pornography often misrepresents the reality of sexual connection Vibrators and sexual aids can improve comfort, health, and pleasure The “orgasm gap” speaks to a broader issue in sexual equity Social media distorts views of anatomy and performance Women often internalise criticism about their bodies for decades Testosterone plays a key role in women’s mood and desire Many women experience a sexual renaissance in midlife Communication and connection are fundamental to fulfilment Watch the full episode here: https://youtu.be/XkMuptzJDlkSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Rosso dropped by for Quick Draw and it was pure chaos from the start. Between chatting about his new book What a Ripper, debating whether the Opera House is a “sexy building,” and reminiscing about prank-calling radio stations with star codes, the nostalgia was flowing. He claimed he hates radio games but got fiercely competitive anyway, going head-to-head with Joel. From Stack Hats to Slovenia to yelling “wank” for the win, it was one of the funniest Quick Draw battles we’ve had in ages.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Sorry as I was gone this last week. I visited Disneyland's 70th anniversary a couple of weeks ago. There is so much to talk about when it comes to this celebration of "The Happiest Place on Earth". But the primary reason I felt drawn to come at this time was the new show at the Opera House on Main Street. I feel there is not one but two stories about the new attraction: Walt Disney: A Magical Life. This is of course the highly sophisticated and highly controversial animatronic show of Walt Disney. And I have much to say about that show experience. And to understand all of this, you have to understand efforts made earlier to help people relate to Walt Disney, to include The Walt Disney Story, One Man's Dream and even Great Moments with Mr. Lincoln. It's a deep dive review for sure. But there is a larger conversation about how Disney is reconnecting more people to what they once loved in their youth, experiences that foster ties. It's as if Disney has finally realized that their history, their heritage, and their stories really do matter. And they seem to be doing much more moving forward to building on that theme. This podcast looks at Walt Disney's Magical Life and so much more. _______________________________________________________ More Disney Insights can be found below!

We've all heard the phrase ‘the show must go on'.  But when shouldn't the show go on?  To help me answer that, I'm speaking to someone who has spent 35 years managing some of Australia's most iconic large-scale events — from Taylor Swift concerts to public city spectacles with crowds over 200,000, and corporate experiences — and has often faced the question: when should the show really stop?My guest is Iain Morrison, wh,o as well as having a background in events, is now the CEO of a startup that builds hyper‑accurate 3D and VR plans for event venues.Episode SummaryIn this episode, I dig into what happens when the entertainment world's credo — “the show must go on” — becomes a liability, and what it feels like backstage to carry that kind of responsibility. Iain explains the importance of having show‑stop protocols long before trouble arrives — whether it's crowd crush, heart attacks in the crowd, or approaching severe weather. He explains how event organisers need to make decisions in advance so that nobody freezes under pressure, and ensure everyone is aligned on who can stop the show, and how and when to restart it. We also delve into the emotional toll of the event industry — the brutal hours, constant touring, adrenaline highs, and the realities of burnout. Ian talks candidly about putting people at risk by cutting critical breaks and how easily event teams can burn out. Finally, he walks me through his pivot: building a tech startup that uses 3D planning and virtual models to give event teams a fully visual planning tool — reducing surprises, improving safety, and supporting better decisions from the very first draft. GUEST BIOGRAPHYIain is an event manager with over three decades of experience in running major concerts, festivals, and public spectacles across Australia. He has helped deliver live shows for acts like Taylor Swift, U2, Foo Fighters, major public events on the Sydney Harbour Bridge and Domain Concert series, with crowds ranging from 5,000 to over 200,000. From high school theatre beginnings to early work at Opera Australia and the Sydney Opera House, Ian transitioned into corporate events, the Olympics, and large public outdoor events. He has worked in high-pressure environments where crowd safety, terrorism threats, public order, and weather call-offs were part of the job on a daily basis. About two years ago, he moved from event delivery to event technology — as CEO and co‑founder of The Imagination Collaborative, Ian now leads a startup building hyper‑accurate 3D and VR planning tools.

The King Opera House in Van Buren, Arkansas, isn't just a beautiful relic of the past—it's a living, breathing theater with a haunted history unlike any other. Today, Gavin Webb joins us to talk about his paranormal documentary that dives deep into the legends and lore of this 133-year-old opera house. From ghostly apparitions in 1920s clothing to a lady in white wandering the men's restroom, the spirits said to haunt this historic space are as numerous as they are mysterious. But perhaps the most tragic spirit of all is an actor, reportedly killed by a furious father who suspected him of bad intentions with his daughter. Gavin shares behind-the-scenes stories, eerie encounters, and what they uncovered while investigating one of Arkansas's most haunted buildings. Is the King Opera House truly haunted—or does it just know how to put on a hell of a show? This is Part Two of our conversation.

Big Thunder Topic from Trammin' Episode 271We've been Celebrating Happy for how many months now? Disneyland's 70th Anniversary oddly began in May of 2025, but it's true anniversary is only just arriving. We were understood what all the fuss was about, especially because it wasn't all even ready in time. So let's relaunch this shindig as Walt arrives at the Opera House.

This week, a calm 4th of July at the resort, a new marquee is in place for the 70th anniversary, some rarely seen items are on the way to Disneyland, a chance to tour Walt's Storybook Mansion this summer, a former shop turned seating area, is back to a shop again, we talk about our experience visiting the 1901 Lounge and Club 33, and more! Please support the show if you can by going to https://www.dlweekly.net/support/. Check out all of our current partners and exclusive discounts at https://www.dlweekly.net/promos. News: Guests who were at Disneyland on the 4th of July were able to celebrate more than the birthday of the United States. Crowds were way down. This was likely due to most Magic Keys being blocked out and the price for the 1 park/1 day ticket was $200. No festive decorations were installed this year, due to the 70th, and the 4th fireworks show wasn't heavily publicized. However, that meant that guests could walk on to quite a few attractions and enjoy the park with much less of a crowd! – https://www.micechat.com/418376-disneyland-news-crowds-collapse-pixies-ghosts-robo-walt/ As July 17th nears, one of the last pieces has fallen into place. The new marquee at the Main Street Opera House was installed this past week. The new sign now features both Great Moments with Mr Lincoln, and Walt Disney – A Magical Life. The new blue sign replaces the darker red sign that was there before and it looks amazing! – https://www.micechat.com/418376-disneyland-news-crowds-collapse-pixies-ghosts-robo-walt/ Part of the new Opera House experience will be a new exhibit from the Walt Disney Archives and the Walt Disney Family Museum. Several items were painstakingly packed up and driven to the park to be installed from the museum in San Francisco. More than 30 objects were loaned to the resort, many of which have never been on display outside of the Family Museum. The exhibit opens with the new show on July 17th. – https://www.instagram.com/reel/DLqDLPOtkbv/?utm_source=ig_embed Weeklyteers who are interested in visiting Walt's 1930s estate in the Hollywood Hills will have a few opportunities this summer. Known at Walt Disney's Storybook Mansion, Walt and Lillian lived here and raised their daughters in the mansion. It is rarely open to the public, but for $75 per person, you can get a tour of the property on Saturday, July 12, July 26th, or August 2nd. There are multiple tours on each day. These are sure to sell out, so visit the link in our show notes to book your visit today! – https://disney-house-tours-july-12.eventzilla.net/e/2138656162 It seems like overnight the old Port Royal shop was converted to a seating area for guests from a gift shop. Just one more night and it is now back to a gift shop once again! The shop now features mostly Nightmare Before Christmas merchandise, but otherwise looks much like it did before it was changed to seating. – https://www.micechat.com/418376-disneyland-news-crowds-collapse-pixies-ghosts-robo-walt/ On July 7th, the new Celebrate Happy collection launched. This collection features the bright colors of the Disneyland 70th celebration. There is a Loungefly Mini Backpack, Minnie Mouse Ear Headband, and a Zip Up Hoodie. These items can be found in World of Disney, Elias & Co., and the Emporium. – https://disneyparksblog.com/dlr/celebrate-happy-with-disneyland-70th-anniversary-merchandise/ Our 400th episode is coming up and we would love to hear from you!

Send us a textWelcome to Celebrate Poe - This is episode 398 - Leaves of Music, Part TwoWell heIlo, WaltGreetings, George.Now In the previous episode, I began a conversation with Mr. Walter Whitman specifically about opera.Well Mr. - I mean Walt - What would you say was the role of music in general in your works?Music in general was a central metaphor in my life and work, both as a metaphysical mindset and as a practical reality. I was blessed with an extraordinary ear for inner rhythms which I then In articulated in radically free, rolling, thrusting verses which revitalized the entire world of poetic language. That same ear led me to to a strong appreciation of classical music. My musical journey was a largely self-taught quest in which I relied on both my innate musicality and my experience as a music journalist to formulate aesthetic principles that would carry over into my poetWell. ultimately, what would you say about the importance of exposure to differing forms of music to the United States?“George,I say no land or people or circumstances ever existed so needing a race of singers and poems differing from all others,” I wrote in “A Backward Glance o'er Travel'd Roads.” Yet, it was only by exposure to European opera and art song that I began to really discover and appreciate tI universality of classical music's language. That exposure came during the 1840′s and 1850′s when I served as a member of New York City's working press, reviewing musical performances at Casthee Garden, Palmo's Opera House,  the Astor Place Theater, and the Academy of Music. After enjoying a year of press seats for the Brooklyn Eagle, I admitted that foreign music was exercising an elevating influence on American taste. From the late 1840′s onward My critical posture gradually shifted from a stance of tolerance to one of sophisticated pleasure and finally to one of total passion for classical music, especially for opera.Thank you for experiencing Celebrate Poe.

In this episode, Tony Brueski investigates Oshkosh's Grand Opera House, a historic venue said to be home to more than just the performing arts.
