Podcast appearances and mentions of philip simon

Wer immer schon mal wissen wollte, ob Tobias Mann Mitglied der FDP ist und was Philip Simon macht, wenn er einen Gruß aus der Küche bekommt, der sollte die Ohren spitzen. Außerdem dabei: Christian Lindner, Lars Klingbeil, Olaf Scholz und Richard David Precht. Klingt wie das Cast vom Dschungelcamp 2025 ist aber leider der Dschungel der Realität...

Nach der längsten Sommerpause in der Geschichte des Podcasts sind die beiden Resthumanisten und Vollzeitdemokraten Tobias Mann und Philip Simon zurück im virtuellen Studio des Irrsinns und haben ne Menge zu erzählen! Ab jetzt wieder alle 14 Tage!

Der Servicepodcast für zarte Gemüter stellt diese Woche die entscheidenden Fragen: Warum wird Cannabis legalisiert? Warum wählt Maximilian Krah heimlich die Grünen? Und warum sind Abstimmungen im Bundesrat so spannend wie ein Blick in einen leeren Kühlschrank? In der neuen Folge von Grundlos Gute Laune liefern Tobias Mann und Philip Simon die Antworten. Denn die Gedanken sind nicht nur frei, sondern sie brauchen auch Platz zum Verpuffen.

In der zweiten Folge erklärt Toby seinen Einsatz als Politikerklärer im Karneval, Philip hat das Mikro richtig draufgeschraubt, Christian Lindner will Finanzminister bleiben und Markus Söder will den Bayxit. Zum Glück behält Oskar Lafontaine den Überblick, denn Tobias Mann und Philip Simon haben schon wieder Grundlos Gute Laune!

Henning Bornemann und Axel Naumer haben heiße News vom neusten Diktatorentraumpaar, berichten von der Party zum Brandmauerfall und feiern mit Christoph Sieber und Philip Simon 35 Jahre Mitternachtsspitzen. Von WDR 5 Satire Deluxe.

As early Christians carried their faith into all parts of the world, they came across some intriguing figures. One of these was a Samaritan sorcerer by the name of Simon. As Philip shared the good news, the people of Samaria, including this magician, believed and were baptized. However, Simon had to learn that salvation entails not only baptism but also putting away those attitudes and actions that characterized the old man of sin. This study will contrast the two men as well as emphasize what Jesus has to offer and the seriousness with which it should be accepted.  A sermon given by Greg Chandler on April 30, 2023

Försvarsmaktsövning pågår mellan 17 april och 11 maj. Övningen hålls för att stärka svensk försvarsförmåga. Med 26 000 soldater och deltagande av 14 länder under tre veckor är det den största övningen i modern tid där samtliga försvarsgrenar och stridskrafter deltar. Övningen hålls då riksdag och regering bestämt att svensk försvarsförmåga ska stärkas. Detta sker genom en rad åtgärder så som utbyggnad av antalet förband, investeringar i såväl materiel som personal men också genom att öva mer. Genom övning lär sig både individer och organisationen, man kan se vad som fungerar och inte fungerar och man hittar områden där man behöver åtgärda problem. Om detta och mycket mer får du höra i dagens podcast från Folk och Försvar. Dagens gäst är Philip Simon, Press- och kommunikationschef för Aurora 23 och programleder gör David Bruhn, försvarspolitisk programansvarig Folk och Försvar Avsnittet produceras av Redmeansgo. Jingeln är producerad av Die Hard Productions.

20 april. Försvarsmaktsövningen Aurora 23 är den största i sitt slag sedan 1989. Vad exakt är det man övar och varför? Och kan man öva på allt? Andreas Ericson diskuterar med övningens kommunikationschef Philip Simon och Oscar Jonsson från Försvarshögskolan.

This week's guest is Rich Wilson, stand up comedian and host of the podcast Insane in the Men Brain.Rich did everything before he became a stand up comic having wanted to be a chef and then a mechanic. Eventually, he was a barman at Up the Creek and after some encouragement, took the stage. After about 20 years, he hasn't stopped yet. The story is more entertaining with told by Rich so listen for more!In fact, the entire episode is funnier and more poignant than I can make it in this write up. We chat about:Rich's career in comedyComedic influencesLouis CKInsane in the Men Brain and mental healthLearning from doing the podcastSaying yesMusic, television and TK MaxxAgingAnd more…Note from Rabiah (Host): I laughed while editing this episode…a lot. It was so cool to sit down with Rich, virtually, and have this chat. I have a bad track record when it comes to the people I put up on a pedestal sometimes but since a lot of times, Rich is already on a stage, the pedestal isn't too far a reach and he is really great. I'm excited that listeners will get to know him and also, a few interactions with his wife, fellow comedian Kate McGann added to the levity. I think sometimes things got more serious than expected but if you've listened before, you know that's part of it.

This week's guest is writer, actor and comedian, Philip Simon.Philip started out as an actor, attending the Guildford Theatre School before landing his first professional gig in a commercial. After a long run as Daddy Pig in a staged puppetry production of Peppa Pig, he decided it was time for a change and enrolled in a course at The Comedy School in London. On the stage performing standup comedy is where Philip feels immense joy. We chat about his work and also the sudden impact of COVID lockdowns on performers. While unable to entertain audiences in person, the father of two acted as head teacher for his kids and also created “School's Out Comedy Club”, an online comedy program for kids. Out of that came a kids' comedy book and the opportunity to give back. Profits from book sales go to the charity FareShare which fights against hunger in the UK.Philip also teaches sex education in Jewish schools and hosts the podcast “Jew Talkin' To Me” with fellow stand up comic Rachel Creeger. He'll be at Edinburgh Fringe this year with two shows so check out the details below. You'll want to find out where to watch him after listening to this one!Note from Rabiah (Host): I have to admit, editing this one was not easy. Sometimes I spend a lot of time reflecting on what a guest said. Sometimes I even cry. In this case, I did a lot of laughing! I am always grateful to my guests for taking the time to share stories about themselves and to listeners for taking the time to hear them. For me, it was particularly important timing for me to listen to someone talk about loving comedy the way Philip does. It was also a lot of fun.

What started as a passion project turned into a hit with over 3,000,000 video views and 30,000 subscribers, global press, awards and accolades, the collaboration of talent such as Mayim Bialik and Howie Mandel, and a chance to work with various organizations from Jewish community centers through academic institutions through comedy festivals.

He received early encouragement to develop his musical talent from his mother Betty and father Hymie, who also contributed with suggested lyrics and song titles.Graham played with various Manchester bands before forming The Mockingbirds in 1965 (with Kevin Godley on drums), and when the record label Columbia rejected Graham's first single composition for the band, it turned out to be a blessing in disguise. The song, For Your Love, became a huge hit for The Yardbirds.Working by day in a men's outfitters shop and playing by night with his semi-professional band, Graham went on to write a string of hits. In 1972, along with Eric Stewart, Kevin Godley and Lol Creme, he formed 10cc and enjoyed a string of Top 10 hits, including three No 1s – Rubber Bullets, I'm Not In Love and Dreadlock Holiday. It's the enduring popularity of these tracks and Graham's love of playing songs acoustically, that led to the formation of Heart Full of Songs, a show which features many of these songs.--------------------------------------------------------------------- *This episode was recorded under lockdown conditions.

Karla und Günter machen sich auf eine literarische Reise nach Schweden – mit sehr unterschiedlichen Ergebnissen. Während Karla in „Ein halbes Herz“ einem Familiengeheimnis auf die Spur kommt, wird Günter in „Wie man einen Bären kocht“ in einen historischen Mordfall verwickelt. Außerdem: Das Beste aus der Backlist und ein besonderer Hörbuch-Tipp. Die Buchtipps dieser Folge: Sofia Lundberg mit „Ein halbes Herz“, Mikael Niemi mit „Wie man einen Bären kocht“, Alan Bradley mit der „Flavia de Luce“-Reihe, Kazuo Ishiguro mit „Was vom Tage übrig bleibt“, sowie das Hörbuch „Das Grundgesetz“ – humorvoll vorgetragen und kommentiert von Philip Simon.

Im zweiten und letzten Teil des Gesprächs mit Philip Simon geht es um neue Strömungen im Kabarett, Philips schlimmstes Bühnenerlebnis und sein Humorkunstwerk, ein Sketch des holländischen Komikers Toon Hermanns.

Philip Simon ist Satiriker, Kabarettist, Autor und Magier. Im Gespräch spricht er mit Tobias Mann über seinen Weg über Zauberei und Varietee ins Kabarett. Dabei gibt er Einblicke in Freud und Leid des Komikerberufs und erzählt, wie er eine große Lebenskrise überwinden konnte, ohne dabei seinen Humor zu verlieren.

Here's part II of my chat with Philip Simon. To recap, as a child Philip played hooky from school to read in the library, graduated high school and lived in a cave (as he pursued monkhood), and taught himself markets and finance by reading every single word of the FT and the Economist for four straight years. We pick up part II with Philip's corporate development role at a high frequency trading firm. We discuss “dual consciousness” or bringing two different versions of yourself to work and if it's a luxury to break out of that paradigm; the "duty of the strong to protect the weak" and how that interacts with the concepts of self-reliance and privilege; and alternatives to the broken model of growth capital/capitalism, such as mutualization, B-corps, or mission-driven companies. + SHOW NOTES: bit.ly/radpod28 + JOIN THE COMMUNITY: http://radreads.email

Philip Simon is the "Rad Genius." His life and career have bucked convention and traditional narratives, and are the consequence of a ravenous curiosity and thirst for knowledge. Philip's story starts in the library, where as a kid he would read multiple books a day (an estimated 1,500 by the time he graduated). After graduating, he dabbled in the Marines, moved to a cave in Greece to pursue a life of asceticism (i.e. severe self-discipline and abstention from all forms of indulgence) and restored ancient fresco paintings. He taught himself financial markets by reading “every single word” of the Financial Times and Economist for four straight years, which led him into cold calling for stock brokers, an Internet startup (the Ladders) and the world of high frequency trading (GTS). + SHOW NOTES: bit.ly/radpod28 + JOIN THE COMMUNITY: radreads.email

Berlin soll ja ein Synonym für Superlative sein! Dem fügen sich Jan Becker und Philip Simon. Sie zeigen Euch den größten Kartentrick der Welt, verzaubern mal wieder ahnungslose Passanten und überraschen sie mit dem Wahrzeichen Berlins.

Jan Becker und Philip Simon sind „narkophile“ Magier: Schlafen kann soooo schön sein! Dumm nur, wenn man aufwacht und nicht mehr weiß, wie man heißt, wo man ist oder welche Zahl zwischen zwei und vier liegt! Und das alles auch noch direkt vor dem Bundestag – dort sitzen zwar keine Zauberer, aber ausgeprägte Schlafliebhaber! Was Euch die Beiden diesmal zeigen, ist kein ZauberTRICK, sondern echte Hypnose und von daher nicht zur Nachahmung empfohlen, aber mal wieder dem Staunen gewidmet!

Jan Becker und Philip Simon, Magier im Großformat, sind für uns in Berlin unterwegs und verzaubern die Menschen. Dem Staunen gewidmet – dem Raunen verpflichtet! Ab 26. April 2008 bei www.watchberlin.de
