Barry Avrich is a Renaissance man, and his creativity knows no boundaries. From crafting brilliant advertising campaigns for Les Misérables, The Phantom of the Opera, and Frank Sinatra's final concerts to directing over fifty documentaries that expose the power, ego, and humanity behind fame, he's lived by one lesson from his father—don't blend in. In this conversation, Barry opens up about his unlikely path from Montreal to the Silver Screen, the thin line between ambition and addiction to power, and why storytelling is his calling. We explore the making of The Last Mogul, Prosecuting Evil, and The Road Between Us, and his belief that movies can still change hearts, minds, and even history. This year, Barry is being honoured with the 2025 Horatio Alger Award, one of Canada's most distinguished recognitions. The award celebrates Canadians who have triumphed over adversity to achieve extraordinary success while giving back to others. For Barry, whose films often illuminate resilience and moral courage, the award feels like the story coming full circle.

This week on Sibling Rivalry, Bob and Monét trace the origins of phrases like The Great White Way and The Silver Screen and identify their personal “hear me out” moments.

How medical dramas shape the way we think about genomicsMedical dramas have been a staple of television for decades, from iconic primetime hits like Grey's Anatomy and HOUSE, to newer favorites like The Pitt. It's easy to get swept up in the high-stakes surgeries, love triangles, and melodramatoc monologues– but when it comes to the science, a second opinion might be in order.In this episode, host Dr. Kaylee Byers sets out to investigate how these kinds of TV shows shape our perceptions of science. First up, Watson script consultant Dr. Krysta Coyle breaks down some of the biggest genomic missteps medical dramas make, and dishes on what it's like to be the science voice on set. Then, Ayden Eilmus, a bioethicist and medical drama scholar, explores the evolution of genetics on TV, from problematic eugenics-era storylines to the more complex and ethically rich portrayals we see today.Hit "play" to uncover how our guilty-pleasure binge watches can have a bigger impact than just entertainment.Click here for tickets and more information about the Nice Genes!

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! Hollywood—a place where dreams are made… and where many never wake from their nightmares. Beneath the glitz and glamour, the City of Stars hides shadows that never fade, and whispers that never die. Every year, thousands flood these streets chasing fame, love, and immortality. Some find it. Many more lose everything. Heartbreak, desperation, and obsession leave behind a residue—a potent energy that lingers long after the final curtain falls. And in Hollywood, that energy often refuses to cross over. Today on The Grave Talks, we journey into haunted Hollywood with Jill Marie Morris, uncovering chilling encounters in the heart of Tinseltown. From startling new details about Michael Jackson's ghost to rumors of a strange vortex swallowing an entire hillside neighborhood, this is a side of Hollywood few dare to explore… and even fewer escape.
