Michelle Buteau jokes about meeting a bearded dragon in her Netflix special, "A Buteau-ful Mind at Radio City Music Hall".
What's it like when you are the only African American dancer in a world of all white dancers? Lisa continues our very special interview with Jennifer Jones, the first African American Rockette. Jennifer talks about growing up seeing Broadway shows with her parents. She told her high school guidance counselor that she wanted to go to college and major in dance. Her counselor told her that she wasn't ready for college yet, although at a very early age, she always dreamed of being on stage. She was so passionate and started at a local community college before moving to New York City, auditioning, and getting hired to be a Rockette. She talks about how spectacular Radio City Music Hall is. It literally took her breath away! She shares the excitement of the famous Christmas Spectacular show and how she poured her heart into each show. She was performing up to six shows a day. Jennifer discusses resilience, and what she had to break through to make her dreams come true. She noted that this year is the 100-year anniversary of the Rockettes and a big event will be planned to celebrate. She also talks about her challenges, and how important it is to believe in yourself. She discusses the importance of being resilient. When she turned 50, she went to her doctor to request a colonoscopy. The doctor told her she was young and had nothing to worry about as she was healthy and had no family members with colorectal cancer. Jennifer listened to her powerful intuition and got a colonoscopy anyway. The doctors determined that she had colorectal cancer, and she was told she had five years to live. She felt embarrassed by this diagnosis as she was always the “healthy one” in her family. She was physically fit and a vegetarian. She met with a specialist and had four rounds of chemotherapy. To the amazement of her doctors, the tests showed dramatic improvement. She explains how she decided to meditate more, let go of toxic relationships, drink green juices, and so much more. She knew she needed to change the way she ate and the way she thought. In 2019, she was deemed cancer-free! Jennifer talks about testing early for colorectal cancer, and especially in the African American community. If there's a history in your family, it's important to test even earlier. She shares how her symptoms started as pressure in her abdomen, so she began changing her diet and meeting with doctors. She talks about organizations who can offer early detection and additional support including Colorectal Cancer Alliance: https://colorectalcancer.org and Colon Cancer Foundation: https://coloncancerfoundation.org. Jennifer's groundbreaking memoir is titled “Becoming Spectacular: The Rhythm of Resilience from the First African American Rockette.” This is Part 2 of the interview. Info: rockettejenn.com.

Today's very special interview features Jennifer Jones, the first African American Rockette. Jennifer shares her story of growing up seeing Broadway shows with her parents. From a very early age, she dreamed of being on stage. She was so passionate and knew in every cell of her body that that would be her home. Jennifer talks about resilience, and what she had to break through to make her dreams come true. She talks about the dance history of the 1920s and how the Rockettes were formed in 1925. The founder thought that Americans would love to see women of the same size and race perform the exact same moves on a dance line. During this time period, Black dancers had their own troupes, as Blacks and whites did not perform together. Jennifer was hired as a Rockette in 1987. She was the very first Black woman to join the dance line. She saw an ad in the newspaper and her friend encouraged her to audition. She wasn't familiar with the Rockettes, as she'd never seen them. She saw only white women auditioning and realized she was the only Black person. She was so nervous and intimated, she decided to leave. A voice inside of her said, “Stay!” She decided to do so. She auditioned, got measured for height and weight, and the stage manager invited her to come back. Even though she went to the call back, she still didn't realize who the Rockettes were. She didn't know their history. She was hired and they immediately sent her for media training. She met with the choreographer who said she was “misquoted” by the press and that's what Jennifer needed to say during interviews. Many people, from managers to choreographers to fellow dancers, were not happy that she was on the line. Jennifer talks about being assaulted and repeatedly insulted. It took extreme perseverance on her part to follow her dreams of being on stage. She talks about how so many women auditioned and how they were not allowed to be a Rockette simply because of their skin color. Through her perseverance, her dream came true! Her groundbreaking memoir is titled “Becoming Spectacular: The Rhythm of Resilience from the First African American Rockette.” She talks about how a public relations person working at Radio City Music Hall disliked her so much. She would tell her how she shouldn't be there and that she was just lucky. Jennifer held these feelings in for many, many years. She also discusses specific mentors who helped to encourage her along the way. She received fan mail, as well as difficult hate mail. Some people didn't feel she should be there, but her parents, family, and mentors helped her along the way. She was a Rockette for 15 years, then another dream came true – she danced on Broadway! She discusses how staunch and strict the “Rockettes” brand is at Radio City. She didn't feel she could speak her truth without repercussions. They are still very strict with the brand. They do allow for slightly varying heights and weights. The draw for so many is that it's an incredible precision troupe. It has evolved over the years. They are trying to include more nationalities. The main focus is still precision and elegance. Jennifer hopes that she helped to inspire the Black women on the line today so they can experience the joy of the sisterhood of being a Rockette, dancing at Radio City Music Hall. This is Part 1 of the interview. Info: rockettejenn.com.

In the fall of 1940, an employ of the Consolidated Edison Company in Manhattan discovered a bomb in the company's main offices, along with a note that read “Con Edison crooks – this is for you.” The bomb was discovered before it detonated and no one was harmed, but a year later the company received a second bomb, followed by a note to NYPD in which the bomber announced he would make no bombs for the duration of WWII, but would begin again as the war ended.As promised, a new series of bombings began across New York in the winter of 1951, beginning with an explosion at Grand Central Station. In the five years that followed, “The Mad Bomber,” as he would come to be known, would place explosives at some of New York's most iconic locations including Radio City Music Hall, Penn Station, and the New York Public Library. The bombs were often followed by cryptic letters sent to the press, usually referencing the Consolidated Edison Company.Th Mad Bomber's reign of terror finally came to an end with his capture in 1957, and neither the suspect nor his motives made much sense to the New Yorkers who'd lived in fear for five years.Thank you to the Incredible Dave White of Bring Me the Axe Podcast for research and Writing support!ReferencesAssociated Press. 1955.

This year during Pride month, trans rights are especially top of mind, as trans-phobia, discrimination, and anti-trans violence is at an all time high, as well as a growing wave of anti-transgender legislation. So we wanted to kick off our celebration of Pride with an encore presentation of our recent conversation with UK trans-femme artist jasmine.4.t, who put out one of our very favorite albums of the year thus far, called You Are the Morning. The album was produced by all three members of boygenius - Lucy Dacus, Phoebe Bridgers, and Julien Baker, and released on Phoebe Bridgers' label Saddest Factory Records. Carmel Holt sat down with Jasmine before she opened for Lucy Dacus at Radio City Music Hall back in April for a super moving and inspiring conversation, which, like her album, has also become one of our favorites of the year. Jasmine's story of trauma, bravery, and transformation thankfully, has an uplifting and heartwarming new chapter, brought about through support from community, PTSD therapy, and music. PLEASE NOTE: if topics of suicide and gender-based violence are triggering for you, please listen with care.

We meet artist Chris Levine, a British contemporary artist renowned for his pioneering work with light and lasers. His innovative approach transcends traditional mediums, integrating technology and spirituality to create immersive art installations that challenge and expand human perception. Levine's multidisciplinary practice encompasses installation, photography, performance, fashion, music, and design. He employs lasers and sound frequencies to craft environments that engage viewers on both sensory and contemplative levels. This synthesis of technology and art positions Levine's work within a broader historical context, aligning with movements that seek to transcend the physical and delve into the metaphysical.A seminal piece in Levine's portfolio is "Lightness of Being" (2004), a holographic portrait of Queen Elizabeth II. This work has been lauded for its spiritual depth and technical mastery, with the National Portrait Gallery describing it as "the most evocative image of a royal by any artist." The portrait captures the ethereal quality of light and presence, reflecting Levine's ability to merge artistic expression with technological innovation. Beyond portraiture, Levine has engaged in numerous projects that bridge various artistic disciplines. In 2012, the artist partnered with Anohni and the Johnsons for their "Swanlight" performance at Radio City Music Hall, commissioned by the MoMA, New York, integrating laser with musical performance and creating a multisensory experience. Levine's site-specific large scale installations have pushed the boundaries of light art, taking diverse settings from the historic Durham Cathedral to the contemporary landscape of Hobart, Tasmania. Aligned with the traditions of public art inspiring communities, Levine's works make immersive art accessible to broader audiences. In 2021, Levine's exhibition at Houghton Hall, 528 Hz Love Frequency, featured "Molecule of Light," a monumental 25-meter-high sculpture that transformed the landscape and cemented his innovative approach to light art. This installation not only showcased the artist's technical prowess but also his ability to harmonize art with architectural space, creating a dialogue between the artwork and its environment. Through his multidisciplinary practice, Levine continues to explore the infinite possibilities of light in art, contributing to the ongoing dialogue on the intersection of technology, spirituality, and visual expression. His work stands as a testament to the transformative power of art, inviting viewers to experience the world through a lens of heightened awareness.Follow @ChrisLevine on InstagramVisit: https://chrislevine.com/ Hosted on Acast.

Jay-Z and Diddy Lawsuit Dropped as Sexual Assault Accuser Withdraws Case A woman who accused Jay-Z and Sean "Diddy" Combs of raping her when she was 13 years old has dropped her lawsuit against both men, according to court records. The notice of voluntary dismissal was filed on Friday and was dismissed "with prejudice," meaning she cannot refile the case. The lawsuit, initially filed in late 2023, included disturbing allegations that the woman, identified as "Jane Doe," was lured by a limousine driver outside the 2000 MTV Video Music Awards and taken to an after-party, where she claimed she was drugged and raped by the two music moguls. The suit was dismissed less than four months after it was filed, but her attorneys did not provide a reason for withdrawing it. Jay-Z, whose real name is Shawn Carter, strongly denied the allegations and had been pushing for the case to be dismissed. Following the lawsuit's withdrawal, Carter released a statement calling the claims "frivolous, fictitious, and appalling." "I would not wish this experience on anyone. The trauma that my wife, my children, my loved ones and I have endured can never be dismissed," he said, also referring to the case as a "money-grab." Combs, who is already facing several lawsuits alleging sexual misconduct, has been in custody in New York City since late last year on sex trafficking and racketeering charges. His legal team responded to the lawsuit's dismissal by asserting that it was just one of many cases that "will not hold up in a court of law." "Sean Combs has never sexually assaulted or trafficked anyone—man or woman, adult or minor. No number of lawsuits, sensationalized allegations, or media theatrics will change that reality," his attorneys stated. The woman first came forward publicly in December in an NBC News interview, revealing that she is now a 38-year-old mother in Alabama. She said she remained silent for more than two decades out of fear that no one would believe her. According to her lawsuit, she was outside Radio City Music Hall the night of the 2000 VMAs when she met a limousine driver who claimed to work for Combs. The driver allegedly took her to an after-party, where she accepted a drink from a waitress and immediately felt lightheaded. The lawsuit stated that as she looked for a place to lie down, Combs, Carter, and another unnamed woman followed her into a room, where Carter allegedly raped her first, followed by Combs. Carter's attorneys had pointed out multiple inconsistencies in the woman's claims, including being unable to verify the location of the alleged after-party. The woman described it as a large white house with a gated U-shaped driveway about 20 minutes from Radio City Music Hall, but no such property had been found to match that description. Additionally, Carter's legal team referenced NBC's reporting that musician Benji Madden—who the woman claimed was present at the party—was actually on tour in the Midwest at the time. Meanwhile, Combs remains in legal turmoil, facing multiple allegations of sexual assault, physical violence, and sex trafficking. His upcoming trial for sex trafficking and racketeering charges is set to begin in May. #JayZ #Diddy #SexualAssaultCase #LawsuitDismissed #MeToo #HipHopNews #BreakingNews Want to listen to ALL of our podcasts AD-FREE?

The Rockettes kicked off a celebrity line-up including Elizabeth Taylor, Liza Minelli, Jimmy Stewart, Al Pacino and Miss Piggy at ‘The Night of 100 Stars', a benefit for the Actors Fund of America recorded on 14th February, 1982 at Radio City Music Hall, New York. A night of sheer glitz and excess, the true tally of stars on-stage totalled 206 - but perhaps that's what you'd expect for $1000 per ticket and a bum-numbing running time of five-and-a-half hours. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly question the star-counting mechanic for the New York Yankees; explain how the assasination of Abraham Lincoln inspired the foundation of the Actor's Fund in 1882; and marvel at the long-windedness of this televised tribute to the charity's centenary… Further Reading: • ‘Bask in the Bewildering '80s Glamour of 'Night of 100 Stars'' (Jezebel, 2016): https://jezebel.com/bask-in-the-bewildering-80s-glamour-of-night-of-100-sta-1759236215/amp • ‘Glamor Glut' (The Washington Post, 1982): https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/lifestyle/1982/02/16/glamor-glut/7ff21880-5540-4c20-acb4-fa5832781184/ • ‘VIDEO: The Night of 100 Stars' (ABC, 1982): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkgaJobbIPg Love the show?
