My guest today, Christine Pedi is known as the “Lady of 1000 Voices." She discovered her talent for multiple personalities through her long association with the legendary Off-Broadway revue, Forbidden Broadway, performing in companies all over the world, including New York, London, Japan, Singapore, and more. Among the dozens of personalities Christine is known to impersonate are: Liza Minelli, Rosie Perez, Ethel Merman, Angela Lansbury, Bernadette Peters, Julie Andrews, Katherine Hepburn and many, many others.She's received a Drama Desk nomination, as well as an L.A. Ovation & NAACP Award for her work.On Broadway, Christine debuted in Little Me with Martin Short and Faith Prince, directed by a favorite StoryBeat guest, Rob Marshall. Other Broadway appearances include several peculiar offstage callers in Eric Bogosian's Talk Radio, starring Liev Schreiber, and a turn as Mama Morton in the long-running hit, Chicago.She brought her collection of divas to Off-Broadway's Newsical the Musical, and starred in Spamilton: An American Parody, which she also co-produced.And many of you will know Christine from her long-running daily SiriusXM Radio show Broadway Breakfast on the On Broadway channel playing music of the stage & screen and interviewing Show Biz legends Mon-Fri, 9am-3pm. On Saturdays she and Seth Rudetsky co-host Dueling Divas.  And fans of Howard Stern can hear her provide the occasional celebrity voice on his SiriusXM morning show.Other Off-Broadway performances include: the title role in Miss Abigail's Guide to Dating Mating and Marriage, A Broadway Diva Christmas, Jerry's Girls, and My Favorite Year.Christine's performed her cabaret show, Great Dames, at many major New York venues, winning both the New York Bistro & Nitelife Awards. Her holiday show, There's No Bizness Like Snow Bizness, has been an annual New York staple since 2008. She's even performed for President & Mrs. Clinton, playing a singing Hillary!On TV, you may recognize Christine on The Sopranos as Mrs. Bobby Baccala (4 scenes, 5 lines...dead). But she recently escaped the clutches of Dr. Death on NBC.Be sure to check out Christine's popular, hilarious videos on YouTube, especially her “Shit Liza Says” videos. It's brilliant, laugh-out-loud stuff.Last but not least, and closest to my heart, Christine can be found singing on the well-regarded 1994 double-CD Complete Work recording of Jekyll & Hyde, the Musical, featuring Anthony Warlow, Linda Eder and Carolee Carmello.

Kirsten Lunde is a wife, mother and grandmother who grew up and lived most of her life in the San Francisco Bay Area in the US. Her eclectic career there included theatre, hospitality, public service and retail before she started working from home to care for her younger two children, who have needed extra care including several years of homeschooling. After a short stint in Colorado, Kirsten's husband Glenn, a native Kiwi born in Dunedin, had an opportunity to house-sit for family in New Plymouth as a means of establishing a life in New Zealand. So Kirsten, Glenn, and their two younger children arrived in Taranaki in February of 2020, just in time for the world to shut down for COVID. With such an unusual start to life here, Kirsten turned to work from home which includes transcription, AI training, and especially her small board game publishing business through which she successfully crowdfunded and published her classical music-themed board game Ovation with more games on the way. Her community in New Zealand is largely centered on board games, and she runs a monthly game event lovally featuring the social deduction game, Blood on the Clocktower.

After nearly three decades after founding, and leading, the Rubicon Theatre Company, James O'Neil is stepping into his next act.As Co-Founder and Artistic Director Emeritus, Jim helped transform a regional dream into a nationally respected theater — earning Drama Desk recognition, Ovation and NAACP awards, and, more importantly, the enduring loyalty of a community that learned to gather in the dark and think together.In this wide-ranging conversation, Jim reflects on:• Why live theater remains a civic necessity, not a luxury• The mystery of inhabiting complex characters, from Pontius Pilate to Clarence Darrow• The tension between artistic risk and financial survival• The highs, near-misses, and standing ovations that shaped the Rubicon• And what it means to hand over something you built with your own handsAs Jim and his wife, Caryl Lynn Burns, retire and head to Kansas City to be closer to family, we take stock of a career that proves culture doesn't happen by accident — it's made, night after night, by people willing to step into the light. We did not talk about fish species in Lake Malawi, palm oil deforestation or whether the KC Chiefs can get their groove back.This is a conversation about legacy, community, and why the stage still matters.

The hour starts with Team USA's gold medal celebration spilling right into Washington, with the guys cracking up at the “worst place to be hungover” photo from the State of the Union scene. From there it's all Jack Hughes: the teeth, the new look, the “how is this the same kid?” vibe, and the question everyone has for tonight. Will Hughes actually play, and what kind of welcome is he about to get in Jersey? Plus, a full breakdown of the travel logistics, private jets, wheels up times, Teterboro, and whether the Devils and Sabres should've just thrown everybody on the same plane and called it common sense.

Deric Rosenbaum, President and CTO of Groucho's Deli, a legendary brand celebrating 85 years in business, shares his journey from a commercial construction background to leading the brand's growth and technological evolution, emphasizing a philosophy of "adapt, not change" to modernize systems while preserving the core essence of community and hospitality. He discusses the strategic decision to prioritize controlled, concentric growth through franchising, the importance of fostering human connection in an increasingly digital world, and how leveraging data and a robust tech stack (including Square for restaurants, Ovation, and Bikky) helps optimize operations and enhance customer loyalty without sacrificing the personal touch.10 Key Takeaways "Adapt, Don't Change": Modernize systems (technology, operations) while retaining the core brand identity and legacy (e.g., original recipes). Community and Hospitality are Core Assets: Building community and genuine hospitality is crucial for customer loyalty and takes time and investment. Controlled Growth Strategy: Groucho's prefers slow, measured, and concentric growth to maintain quality, brand recognition, and efficient distribution, avoiding rapid, capital-intensive expansion common in private equity models. Technology as an Enabler, Not a "Shiny Object": Tech should enhance guest experience and simplify operations, not just be used for its own sake. Prioritize Retention Over Acquisition: Focusing on retaining existing guests drives frequency, which in turn leads to organic new guest acquisition and revenue growth, even during economic pressures. The Importance of an Open API: A robust and open POS API (like Square's) allows for seamless integration with "best of fit" third-party tools (like Ovation for feedback and Bikky for data) to create a unified commerce ecosystem. Data-Driven Decisions: Utilizing a customer data platform (CDP) like Bikky allows for deep understanding and segmentation of guests to tailor marketing and improve operational efficiency. Consistency Creates Loyalty: Standardizing processes across the chain and delivering consistent experiences fuels success in the long term. Invest in Training and Culture: Especially in a franchise model, training operators (not just money partners) on the fundamentals of hospitality is key to maintaining brand standards and a positive guest experience. Listen to Your Guests: Use feedback mechanisms (like Ovation's text-based system) to engage in two-way conversations and make targeted operational adjustments based on sentiment analysis.

On this mind-bending episode of Big Trouble in Little Podcast, Andy, Joe Dubs, Zac, and Chaz step into the modern dimension of The Twilight Zone to unpack two standout episodes from Jordan Peele's revival: “Meet in the Middle” and “Ovation.” The crew dives into themes of ambition, identity, legacy, and the hidden cost of success, breaking down how these episodes twist classic Twilight Zone ideas through a contemporary lens. From uneasy deals with the universe to the price of artistic obsession, the hosts analyze what works, what stumbles, and how Peele's vision honors — and challenges — Rod Serling's original spirit. Expect deep discussion, sharp critiques, and plenty of philosophical detours as the guys ask whether these stories truly earn their place in The Twilight Zone.

In this episode of the Journey of My Mother's Son podcast, I talk with Christian Ray Flores. Christian was born in Moscow, Russia to a Chilean father and a Russian mother. The family moved to Chile when Christian was nine months old. During the 1973 military coup of Augusto Pinochet, Christian's father, Americo Flores, was arrested along with thousands of others and spent time in one of the infamous concentration camps. His mother Larisa and two children went into hiding under an assumed name and with a fake Argentinian passport. After Americo's release, the family spent some time in a UN refugee camp and was granted asylum in Germany, moving to Munich. After living in Germany and Russia, Americo and Larisa moved to Mozambique, at the government's invitation, which was recruiting international professionals after a mass exodus of Portuguese upon the nation's independence. Christian learned four languages by age nine: Russian, Spanish, English, and Portuguese. After his parents' divorce, Christian returned to Russia with his mother and sister in 1983. Christian got a master's degree in economics in 1991 from the RUDN University in Moscow. In 1993, Christian released his first single in Russia and became an instant success, winning awards like Generation ‘93 and Ovation in 1996 and playing nationwide. Back-to-back top ten hits culminated in his number one single, "Our Generation" – an anthem of freedom and change. It became a song widely used as the anthem of Boris Yeltsin's election campaign. Christian campaigned for Yeltsin as part of the Russian version of Rock the Vote, credited to giving Yeltsin the youth vote and victory in the campaign. After moving to the US in 2004, Christian worked for the international charity HOPE Worldwide, serving as a country director for Latin America, focusing on health care and education in nine different countries. He also developed and directed the Positive Choice education program, implemented around the US and internationally in Mexico, Jamaica, Indonesia. Christian co-founded a production company, Hollywood World, in Los Angeles with his wife, Deb de Flores. Hollywood World allowed international artists to work with top Hollywood producers and directors. Among other projects, Christian did voice acting for the English and Spanish versions of Masha and the Bear, a popular animated TV series. After moving to Austin, Texas, Christian and Deb co-founded (with Brandon Knicely) Third Drive, raising millions of dollars for startups and creating digital media projects for emerging businesses, public personalities and non-profit organizations. Christian speaks to audiences in the US and internationally, hosts the Headspace with Christian Ray Flores podcast and YouTube Channel dedicated to success in career and calling Headapace newsletter. His short film Dance With Me was selected to several international film festivals, and its title song was released on all major music platforms. In the first days of the war in Ukraine, the Ascend Mission Fund launched the Ukraine Relief Network, serving refugees in Ukraine. Christian and Deb personally visited Ukraine in September 2022. In 2022, Christian and Deb launched the Xponential career coaching program for high achievers. Christian and Deb have been active in Christian ministry in the US, Eastern Europe, and Latin America for two decades. They lead The Tribe, a community of faith in Austin, Texas. Ray frequently speaks to different audiences in the US and overseas. They are also active in philanthropy through their charity Ascend Mission Fund and projects like the Ascend Academy in Mozambique that lifts children out of poverty through developing character, communication, and computer skills.
