This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit smokeempodcast.substack.comDavid Marchese has spent the past decade interviewing famous people, from Quincy Jones to Nicolas Cage. He is co-host of “The Interview,” the New York Times Q&A series, and before that, he interviewed bold-faced names for Vulture and NYT Magazine. But he doesn't see his job as “interviewing celebrities” — at least, that's what he says after his old pal Sarah introduces him as such. It's true that Marchese interviews all sorts of people, from author Michael Pollan to happiness expert Laurie Santos. But fame — and its excesses, contradictions, and illusions — is the backdrop for many of his best-known conversations, and it's the launchpad here for a chat about collective experiences, how to ask better questions, how journalism has changed since the days of Playboy, and why discomfort might be a key ingredient to a great interview. NOTE: This is an audio-only episode! Also discussed …As well as:* Sarah sees an advantage to David being “deeply Canadian” * “Celebrity is the coin of the realm.” Or is it?* Nicolas Cage … inspired by Gumby?* Jim Jarmusch did not do interviews that lasted less than an hour* Editor burnout is real* Adam Moss, genius* Friend o' the pod David Rensin and his dozens of Playboy interviews* Age is an undervalued asset in celebrity interviews* Denzel Washington, Nicole Kidman, Edward Norton, Anthony Hopkins* Interviewing as surgery and when to put down the knife* Sarah is still waiting on that mixed tape David promised in 2008Plus: David quotes Ezra Pound, Joyce Carol Oates and Elmore Leonard, what Clive James got right about Americans and fame, and much more!After the paywall: “Which celebrity interview was the most uncomfortable?”We're trying to ask better questions.

Years ago there were these things called magazines. They were kid's picture books but for adults. One of the more adult versions of a magazine was Heavy Metal. It was basically a comic book for horny dudes who couldn't get a hold of Playboy. In 1981 they made an animated movie about the mag. The boys discuss.

"You're a co-pilot, you are a therapist, you are an archivist," reflects journalist and cultural critic Gerrick Kennedy of his role as a ghostwriter. Kennedy is the co-author of the just-published memoir Phases, from singer, songwriter and actress Brandy—an immediate #1 New York Times best-seller. He is the author of two previous books, and his work has appeared in a variety of publications, including Vanity Fair, Rolling Stone, GQ, Men's Health, Spin, and Playboy. A former staff writer for The Los Angeles Times, where he covered pop music and culture, Kennedy was honored in 2012 with an Emerging Journalist of the Year award by the National Association of Black Journalists. Regarding his current collaboration with Brandy, he had known the multi-platinum, Grammy Award-winning artist for several years before they decided to work together on her memoir—and after his first few ghostwriting assignments, he's still getting used to his emerging role as the caretaker of someone else's story. "You wear so many hats when you are doing a collaborative project," he says. "There are so many conversations that you have with a person, and so much of it is going to be, 'This is me releasing it, and I don't want to hold this myself anymore… and now you can carry it with you, but it's not for the book.' It gives you context. It gives you ideas. It gives you understanding. But it ultimately just ends up becoming another secret."

Dat Matthijs van Nieuwkerk terugkeert op televisie, is geen grote verrassing. Maar met een ‘muzikale roadmovie’ op campingzender SBS 6? Het panel van de AD Media Podcast vraagt zich hardop af waarom de voormalig DWDD-presentator zijn comeback op deze manier vormgeeft. Mark den Blanken: ‘Dat gaat natuurlijk keihard floppen.’ Toen de van YouTube afkomstige heren van StukTV de klassieke tv-wereld bestormden, riepen ze dat het daar helemaal anders moest. Waarom noteert Giel de Winter als producent (van programma’s als Let’s play ball en De anti survival show) dan de ene flop na de andere? En hoe blij moet de kijker zijn met een ietwat aangepaste Stars on stage, de muzikale entertainmentshow bij RTL 4? Angela de Jong in de Playboy Verder in deze podcast: Gudo Tienhooven sprak met de nieuwe NPO-bestuursvoorzitter Jet de Ranitz. Wat viel hem op bij het interview met de dame die de publieke omroep door een lastige periode moet zien te loodsen? De RTL-quiz Ik weet er alles van wordt wel of niet terecht langer gemaakt en Angela de Jong is onder de indruk van Coen Verbraaks documentaire over wijlen haaibaai-journaliste Clairy Polak. En het is geen grap, maar Angela de Jong verschijnt binnenkort in de Playboy. Haar collega’s fronsen de wenkbrauwen en vragen haar vervolgens de kleren van het lijf. Luisteren dus! Naar de wekelijkse AD Media Podcast, waarin columnist Angela de Jong en verslaggevers Gudo Tienhooven en Mark den Blanken alle hoofd-, rand-, en bijzaken bespreken op het gebied van media. De presentatie is in handen van Manuel Venderbos. Gebruik je liever je favoriete podcastsapps via Spotify of Apple? Dat kan!

The manuscript describes how she became trapped in Epstein's orbit, allegedly forced into sexual encounters with powerful men, including Prince Andrew, and ferried across his properties in New York, Florida, and the Virgin Islands. Giuffre paints a detailed picture of coercion, psychological manipulation, and the disturbing normalization of exploitation within Epstein's high-society circle.In this episode, we begin our journey through that memoir. to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comsource:Virgina Giuffre Billionaire's Playboy Club | DocumentCloudBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-moscow-murders-and-more--5852883/support.

This year marks the 30th Anniversary of Pokémon, aka Pocket Monster (Poketto Monsutā). From games and cards to television and movies, Pokémon has defined generations and inspired the entire world. It is more popular today than ever. People steal the cards in major heists, which have gone global, and others use the cards for money laundering. Those of us growing up with this type entrainment, including general anime and manga, were probably told it was stupid and a waste of time and money. But the Japanese beg to differ. These things are an expression of their culture, one that is so influential it has touched the entire world in profound ways. The current Prime Minister quotes Attack on Titan and the government as a whole has decided to help boost these industries, including video games, with 500-billion yen over five years, not because they are failing but due to the fact they are such a key component of the culture — to help spread them while they are already on fire. From storytelling to artwork, and from pushing the boundaries of free speech and creativity to the fantasy and imagination outlet they provide for adults and children. Naturally there are some that despite anime, manga, and video games. They attempt to adulterate them, poison them, and even ban them. Legislation in Texas seeks to ban this part of Japanese culture while various Christian and Jewish groups have over the years argued for the same. Why? Certainly because of religious bigotry, and due to misunderstandings of culture. But could there be more to the story? Perhaps the hyper-masculine and hyper-feminine characters, the archetypical storylines, and the very issue of pushing the boundaries of censorship are highly offensive to a particular agenda. Hentai, for example, sits at the top of most major porn searches naturally and clearly interferes with the artificial propping up of abuse, incest, and LGBTQ content. The same goes for the JAV industry. The pedo argument against anime and manga is popular, but fails to account for key details: the drawings are not human, these things are not just things for kids, the kawaii aesthetic is not understood, fantasy is seen differently, and women make up a signifiant portion of the industry. Furthermore, emphasis is placed on femininity and beauty in Japan whereas ruggedness fills that role in the U.S. Besides, which country has more pedos and more domestic violence? It's not Nippon. Others argue that this kind of entertainment is not productive, despite the Japanese being considered some of those productive people in the world. Meanwhile, America is seen as increasingly lazier. Perhaps the issue is and what these forms of entertainment inspire people to do. Numerous cases exist internationally of people helping others because they were inspired by fictional manga and anime characters. While most of these so-called cartoons can inspire people to do good things, role models in the west often include lowlife degenerates. The One Piece series has even inspired political resistance to tyranny in Asia. *The is the FREE archive, which includes advertisements.

During a family trip to southwest Texas in 1992, one teenager experienced something in a hotel room that her family still talks about decades later.Her stepfather's brother had died before ever getting the chance to meet her baby brother, something the family had always carried with them emotionally. Late one night after arriving in Texas, she woke to see a strange pinpoint of white light glowing near the bed where her little brother slept. The experience felt oddly peaceful, but deeply unusual.The next morning, she casually mentioned a strange dream involving a photograph and a Playboy bunny symbol—details that immediately changed the expression on her stepfather's face.What happened later that day convinced the entire family that the dream may not have been a dream at all… but a message from someone she had never met in life. #RealGhostStories #VisitationDream #ParanormalEncounter #GhostStories #SpiritVisitation #SupernaturalExperience #TrueGhostStory #ParanormalPodcast #AfterlifeConnection #FamilyGhostStoryLove real ghost stories?

What I really want to get at is that the way the tribes or indigenous cultures regard these medicines is through community, song, prayer, connection to nature, reciprocity, those are all values that even the clinical world can borrow and emulate as they design their trials." –Madison MargolinAbout Madison Margolin:Madison is an author and journalist who straddles California, New York, and the Israel-Palestine region, with a focus on psychedelics, cannabis, and Judaism — jokingly referring to it as “Jews & Drugs.” Her reporting also spans culture, policy, and science.

This week on Holly Randall Unfiltered, Holly sits down with performer, actress, and former Playboy cover model August Skye for one of the most honest and entertaining conversations of the season.From stripping in Denver to navigating the chaos of social media censorship, August breaks down what it really takes to survive and evolve in the adult industry today. She shares the story of a champagne room encounter involving a police officer that spiraled completely out of control, how she's lost eight Instagram accounts to vague community guidelines, and the tech she now uses to protect her business online.August also opens up about winning acting awards for the indie web series Born at Night, why she prefers story-driven feature productions over gonzo scenes, and how the industry gave her a safe space to explore her submissive side and personal fantasies without judgment.Plus, she reveals the reality behind the business: why filming scenes is only a fraction of the work, how creators burn out trying to stay relevant, and what separates performers with longevity from everyone else chasing quick attention.It's funny, chaotic, unexpectedly thoughtful, and a rare behind-the-scenes look at the emotional and business side of modern adult entertainment.Huge thanks to https://www.youtube.com/@scworld.official for sponsoring the show!Follow them at https://www.instagram.com/scworld.officialFollow Holly Randall on all platforms Hollylinks.com Subscribe for more exclusive interviews and behind-the-scenes content from the adult industry! https://www.patreon.com/c/hollyrandallunfiltereBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/holly-randall-unfiltered--6630320/support.
