Episode 154 of the Check Your Six podcast brought a ground breaking, barrier breaking lady into the GRP Studios that was the first female TV anchor in Central Florida, Carol Nelson-Pond. Carol was the first woman in Central Florida that broke the barrier of women in TV and radio that could interview, host and anchor just like the men that were currently in power in the industry during the 70's. She had some great stories of how she was able to break through that barrier, just a few of the hundreds of interviews that she completed including Ronald Regan, Henry Kissinger, Tom Hanks and the barriers that she is now facing being an older individual in the American healthcare system. We did not even get to the good stuff about the events at the Citrus Club, the other things that have happened during the time she has spent in Orlando but did reflect on her time spent with Rupert Holmes, you might know him as the writer/singer/composer of "Escape" better known as the "Pina Colada Song". Carol is truly groundbreaker and every single woman that sits at a news desk as a reporter or anchor can probably attribute their success in part to her. You can check out her book, No Women Allowed, Breaking Barriers at this Amazon link https://www.amazon.com/stores/author/B08CZZDXSTEmail us at tim@grpstudios.com

Keyboardist: Gail NoblesStory by: Gail NoblesPODCAST AM MEMORIESToday's topic is Rupert Holmes. Before we dive in, I want to give a big shout out to all my listeners. Your support means a lot. Now let's get started.I want to talk about songwriter, Rupert Holmes and his hit song Escape (The Piña Colada song). This tune is a catchy melody and story. I would sing this song with my family listening to AM not knowing what a Piña Colada was when I was a little girl. The song is wrapped up in a tropical cocktail of a story.Released in 1979 as the lead single from Holmes' fifth studio album Partners in Crime. This gem had the billboard folks buzzing with excitement, and no wonder! Radio stations across the country were picking it up quicker than you)d snag a cold drink on a hot Summer day. By the end of December 1979 p, it became the last number one single of the decade. Talk about making a splash.Less unravel this delightful story shall we? The man is weary from the humdrum of a routine relationship. Finds himself daydreaming of escape. He's out there seeking something new, something refreshing, and boy, does he find it in the pages of the personal ads. Who among us hasn't experienced that thirst for a little adventure? Holmes taps into that universal feeling with vivid storytelling.When our hero discovers an ad from a woman seeking someone who enjoys Piña Coladas, and getting caught in the rain, he can't resist. I mean, who wouldn't be fascinated? The lyrics paint a picture of longing, anticipation, and that all too familiar search for connection in the bustling of life.And here is the beautiful twist - when they finally meet, it's not just a flirtatious rendezvous. Surprise, surprise!  The woman is none other than the current partner. What started as a quest for novelty turns into a celebration of the love they've already had.I'm Gail Nobles. Thank you for listening to the podcast AM memories on the CAT BEAR. Rupert Holmes: The Joyful Journey (Escape) is todays topic. 

New miniseries time! This time, we're taking a slightly different approach, focusing on a set of linked performers instead of a set of linked songs. Specifically, we're looking at some of the women who've played the original Green Girl, Elphaba from Wicked. First up is Stephanie J. Block who arguably was the original Elphaba, just not on Broadway. We look at her career and why it hasn't been quite what it might have been while we talk about "The Writing on the Wall," the finale to The Mystery of Edwin Drood by Rupert Holmes. It's a lot, so buckle in. All clips are from The Mystery of Edwin Drood (2012 New Broadway Cast Recording) featuring Stephanie J. Block and are protected by the Fair Use guidelines of Section 107 of the Copyright Act for criticism and commentary. All rights reserved to the copyright owners. Watch the performance on YouTube!

Hour 1 Boomer & Gio are out so you get one more day of Jerry with Joe Benigno. The Mets lost to the Rockies, a team 30 games under .500. Joe just wants to get to Monday night in San Francisco when the Jets play the Niners. Jerry said he just doesn't know what the Mets are. Maybe they are just a .500 team. Peter Schwartz is in for his first update of the day and starts with the sounds of the Mets losing to the Rockies. Peter explains how everyone in his house except him is a Mets fan. Mets pitcher Luis Severino talked about his rough night in Colorado. The White Sox finally won a game after losing 21 straight. The Knicks made Jalen Brunson their 36th captain in team history. Joe can't believe they've had 36 captains. In the final segment of the hour, Joe has memories of Michael Jackson and can the Mets get to 88 wins? Astros pitcher Framber Valdez lost a no-hitter with 2 outs in the ninth.  Hour 2 Joe B explains the Pina Colada song and why he hates it. We also talked about some of the terrible introductory press conferences for coaches and managers. Joe thinks if Aaron Rodgers plays in the preseason that he will get hurt, because that's what happens to the Jets. Peter returns for an update and starts with the sounds of the Mets losing to the Rockies. We also talked a lot about dating apps and blind dates. The Giants and Lions threw punches again at their combined practice yesterday. In the final segment of the hour, we talked about the Beach Boys album, Pet Sounds.  Hour 3 A caller wonders if it's worth it to go to Jets camp. Joe wonders if the Jets like him because he tells it like it is. A caller wanted Joe's opinion of when Boomer came to the Jets. Joe B wonders why Tony Romo is not in the Cowboys Ring of Honor. Peter returns for an update and starts with the sounds of the Mets losing to the Rockies. Former MLB player and MLB executive Billy Bean passed away. Chris Russo thought it was the former GM of the A's. Joe B has a story of Jerry Recco booking Ron Artest's father instead of Ron Artest. In the final segment of the hour, Pat Boyle pronounces ‘imbecile' weird. Jerry has a list of words he has a problem pronouncing, like ‘epitome'.  Hour 4 We somehow ended up talking about Plaxico Burress shooting himself in the leg by accident and we played all the song parodies Al sang that the listeners wrote. Peter returns for an update but first we talked about some of the worst Jets losses of all time. The Mets lost to the lowly Rockies and the White Sox finally won a game after losing 21 straight. Jalen Brunson has been named the Knicks 36th captain in franchise history. The only one Joe B remembers is Willis Reed. Rob Saleh talked about fighting in practice. The Moment of The Day involves Joe B explaining the Pina Colada song by Rupert Holmes. In the final segment of the show, Jerry asks Joe B for some surprise teams for the NFL this season.

This week on Israel Hour Radio, it's the return of MY ISRAELI PLAYLIST...where our listeners share their favorite Israeli songs of all time! This time, please welcome Debbie Corwin of Mahwah, NJ! Debbie first visited Israel was with her family on a two week vacation when she was 10 years old. She then spent 7 1/2 weeks in Israel with a ZOA program, 'Summer in Moshav', when she graduated high school. She's been back to Israel 11 times since then, most recently this past March. Since 2011, she and her husband, Jan, have been involved with Zahal Shalom, a non-profit organization that brings 10 wounded Israeli veterans to live with host families in Northern New Jersey. They now serve on the Executive Board. The 2024 Zahal Shalom delegation just returned to Israel, and Debbie and Jan were honored to have hosted their 8th veteran. Debbie graduated University of Delaware as a music major and had an eleven year career in the music industry in New York. She worked for Tony-award winning playwright Rupert Holmes, serving as the production coordinator, script editor, musical supervisor and orchestrations assistant for three Broadway shows written by Rupert. The highlight of her music career was working with Barbra Streisand in 1990. She then went on to have a successful 20-year career in senior living, before working as the Director of Israel Engagement at the Jewish Federation of Northern New Jersey. While working there, she met and began working with Israeli musician, Gilad Segev. Debbie is thrilled to share her favorite Israeli music this week on Israel Hour Radio!
