In this unflinching portrait, Roseanne sits down to exclusively to tell her life story. She recounts her unusual childhood of growing up Jewish in Salt Lake City, Utah, and how her rebellious nature started by eating a Spam sandwich. She explains that her ability to create jokes came from making her father laugh so he wouldn't punish her. She retells the harrowing events that led up to her taking the stage at a comedy club in Denver, where she was able to establish a local following with her "Funny Womanness" routine and a unique approach to humor.At the encouragement of touring comedians, Roseanne traveled to Los Angeles and instantly found success at The Comedy Store. In record time, Roseanne was invited to appear on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. The audience couldn't get enough of the "Domestic Goddess." Her whirlwind career gained momentum when singer Julio Iglesias invited her to be his opening act and comedic legend Rodney Dangerfield asked her to play his wife on his 1986 HBO special, and she then landed two HBO specials of her own. This success culminated in her groundbreaking sitcom, Roseanne. The series quickly replaced The Cosby Show at the top of the ratings. But the TV show provided many challenges for Roseanne, as she battled writers over the show content and her character. She describes what she had to do to make it her show and not a group of Ivy League graduate writers' warped perception of middle America.Roseanne recounts the disastrous night she sang "The Star-Spangled Banner" at a San Diego Padres game. This was her first encounter with "cancel culture," when President George H.W. Bush spoke out against her. Her show remained at the top until she decided to end it after nine seasons. She went on to host her own talk show. During one episode, she told guest Donald Trump that he needed to run for president, although she staged a presidential campaign first as the Green Party candidate in 2012. After Trump won in 2016, Roseanne found herself reviving her Roseanne sitcom to record-breaking ratings.The success didn't last long, due to a late-night tweet while on Ambien, which quickly derailed everything. Roseanne recounts the story of how her network swiftly removed her from her show. "Cancel Culture" had her blacklisted and she was shunned by everyone outside of Fox News and Dr. Oz.In Roseanne Barr Is America, Roseanne calls out her detractors and defends her reputation that so many have sought to destroy. Roseanne is defiant as she describes how those that came for her are also seeking to ruin America.Roseanne Barr Is America includes an exclusive interview with Roseanne Barr, exclusive home movies and photographs from her youth, clips of her appearances on The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson, behind the scenes footage from Roseanne, highlights from her Presidential campaign, and even video proof that she can sing "The Star-Spangled Banner" at a ballgame.Roseanne Barr.

Discover the man behind the myth, and why his legacy is far more than a political cartoon. Episode Highlights How Elbridge Gerry rose from a wealthy merchant's son in Massachusetts to a key figure in the American Revolution and a signer of the Declaration of Independence. Why Gerry refused to sign the Constitution, and how his principled stance helped pave the way for the Bill of Rights. The origin of “gerrymandering,” and how political loyalty led even an extraordinary Founder to a moment of human weakness.
Michael Phelps BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Michael Phelps has seamlessly balanced his roles as legend, mentor, and provocateur in the past few days, capturing headlines with both candor and local affability. At the forefront, Phelps and fellow swimming icon Ryan Lochte ignited a high-profile debate on the future of USA Swimming following a rough patch at the 2025 World Aquatics Championships in Singapore. The duo used Instagram to make a bold statement, sharing an AI-generated gravestone declaring the “funeral” of United States Swimming. Lochte, ever the disruptor, captioned the dramatic image with an ominous warning—"Call it a funeral, or call it a fresh start. We've got three years," alluding to the lead-up to the LA 2028 Olympics. Phelps, never one to shy away from tough love, amplified the message, asking if this was the wake-up call the sport needed and encouraging a fresh start, further stirring speculation about impending systemic change, especially as the U.S. grapples with its lowest Olympic gold haul since 1988 and a recent outbreak of illness that derailed America's typically dominant Worlds performance. As reported by Essentially Sports and confirmed by Swimming World Magazine, this revolt against the federation's stumbles and the ensuing conversation among current athletes on The Independent triggered a rare and pointed exchange—some swimmers bristled at the criticism, while Olympic champion Gretchen Walsh dismissed the negativity, focusing on her own double gold triumphs and the behind-the-scenes adversity the team faced.In a moment far lighter, Phelps showed his playful Baltimore roots. Ravens cornerback Marlon Humphrey led an Instagram appeal for swimming lessons and, ever the superfan, Phelps gamely replied, “I got yall!!! Let's do it!!” The prospect of America's greatest swimmer teaching NFL stars captivated Baltimore media and delighted fans, furthering his legacy as both a champion and community ambassador, as covered by the Daily Record and kfgo.com.On the business front, Phelps' high-performance ethos remains in demand in the boardroom: he is set as a featured speaker at the prestigious World Business Forum in Sydney this November, according to the official program. Rumors and speculation about deeper involvement in Team USA reform or Olympic administration are swirling, but as of now, those plans remain unconfirmed.And while rising Canadian star Summer McIntosh surges to match some of Phelps' records at World Championships, the legend himself stays fixed in the public gaze—not competing but shaping the narrative in and out of the pool.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOta

Why did a Sequoia partner in faraway Silicon Valley feel the need to troll the Democratic nominee for New York City mayor? Bradley breaks down the power dynamics at play in Sean Maguire's inflammatory remarks about Zohran Mamdani: a high-performing VC chasing attention, a prestigious firm caught in the crossfire, and the challenge of balancing individual expression with institutional risk. Maguire's move wasn't a misstep, says Bradley, it was a calculated play for relevance in a niche echo chamber. Also in this episode: The UK's plan to lower the voting age to 16 offers a blueprint for U.S. reform, a rumination on the Jekyll and Hyde nature of the human species, and why Bradley lost his lifelong aversion to Billy Joel.This episode was taped at P&T Knitwear at 180 Orchard Street — New York City's only free podcast recording studio.Send us an email with your thoughts on today's episode: info@firewall.media.Be sure to watch Bradley's new TED Talk on Mobile Voting at https://go.ted.com/bradleytusk.Subscribe to Bradley's weekly newsletter and follow Bradley on Linkedin + Substack + YouTube.
