Podcasts about six triple eight

We are back on our DEI shit...oh wait, we were never off of it. Ok well anyway, this episode is a nod to Black History, Women's History, and WW2 Military History. Put those all together and you get a story of black women being given the impossible task of unfucking a big mess that a bunch of men thought they were too good for (probably) - We are talking about the "Central Postal Directory Battalion", better known as 6888 Battalion. The 6888 was an all black, all female unit that was handed the "impossible" task of sorting several million pieces of mail in a 6 month period in the middle of WW2 in Europe. You can watch the Netflix movie "The Six Triple Eight", but first, listen to this podcast :)SOURCES:https://www.nationalww2museum.org/war/articles/colonel-charity-adams-6888th-commanding-officerhttps://www.uncrownedcommunitybuilders.com/person/indiana-1https://www.seacoastonline.com/story/news/local/2021/02/15/women-6888-central-postal-directory-battalion-doris-moore-portsmouth/4481280001/You can read about the women we discuss on the pod on my blog every week: ⁠Kellymcclain.blogspot.com⁠If you'd like to contribute to our work here at Bitchstory, we'd be thrilled to receive your financial support so we can keep going and maybe actually not be in the red.

For episode 160 of the podcast, join Rain Phoenix at Licorice Pizza as she hosts an engaging conversation with legendary songwriter Diane Warren and rising musician Mergui. This episode offers a deep dive into Diane's illustrious career, her creative process, and her collaboration with Mergui on the song "Criminal." The discussion provides unique perspectives on the music industry, including insights from one of modern music’s most celebrated songwriters. IN THIS EPISODE:  [5:05] Diane Warren's early musical influences [11:10] Writing I Don’t Want to Miss a Thing and OSCAR nominations [13:00] Diane launches Mergui [15:28] Diane's versatility across musical genres [20:00] Mergui’s insights on sampling Elton John’s song KEY TAKEAWAYS:  Diane Warren's journey into songwriting began at a young age, sparked by her fascination with record credits. She would study the names of songwriters on albums, dreaming of seeing her own name there one day. This early passion and determination set her on a path to becoming one of the most successful songwriters in the industry. Despite the challenges faced by women in the music industry, Diane never let her gender define her capabilities. Inspired by trailblazers like Carole King, she pursued her career with confidence, never doubting her potential to succeed as a songwriter. Collaboration with artists like Mergui showcases Diane and Mergui's ability to adapt and thrive in different musical genres. Diane’s intuitive sense for matching songs with the right artists has led to successful partnerships, allowing her to continue creating timeless music across various styles. It’s important for songwriters to find the right artist to sing and produce their songs, someone who will honor and preserve the meaning and the music. That’s when the magic happens.

She has penned nine #1 and thirty-three top 10 hits on the Billboard Hot 100 and is tied for having written the most #1 songs as a sole writer in Billboard history. She was inducted into the Songwriters Hall of Fame in 2001 and received the prestigious Johnny Mercer Award from the organization in June 2024. She has received 16 Academy Award nominations, is a GRAMMY winner with 15 nominations, an EMMY winner, and is a two-time Golden Globe winner whose songs have been featured in more than 150 films. In November 2022, Warren became the first songwriter in history to receive an Honorary Oscar, as voted on by the Academy's Board of Governors. She recently wrote the original song "The Fire Inside," performed by Becky G for the film Flamin' Hot, directed by Eva Longoria, which marked her 15th Oscar nomination. She most recently wrote the original song “The Journey” performed by H.E.R. for the feature film The Six Triple Eight directed by Tyler Perry which marked her 16th Oscar nomination. She is the sole owner of her publishing company Realsongs, the most successful female-owned and operated business in the music industry. Warren is a recipient of a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, a nod to her legendary career, having worked with many of today's most popular artists, including Beyoncé, Lady Gaga, Taylor Swift, H.E.R., Snoop Dogg, Paloma Faith, Jon Batiste, Maren Morris, John Legend, Christina Aguilera, Kelly Clarkson, Andra Day, Justin Bieber, Jennifer Hudson and Janelle Monáe, in addition to having written songs for iconic artists such as Whitney Houston, Cher, Celine Dion, Mariah Carey, Dolly Parton, Reba McEntire, and many more.   Mergui has made it his mission to push the limits of modern pop music. He’s accomplished some incredible feats such as opening for Bruno Mars and Maroon 5. His talent has been recognized by publications such as Rolling Stone, Billboard, Wonderland Magazine, and Notion. Drawing inspiration from the rich tapestry of early 20th-century Italian opera and the nostalgic allure of ‘70s AM pop, Mergui’s sophomore EP Shadows of Blue was a remarkable fusion of influences. Notable tracks from the EP include the Elton John-approved “Cry,” and “Happy Now?”, which he performed on The Kelly Clarkson Show and NBC’s The TODAY Show, resulting in the track skyrocketing to the Top 10 on the U.S. iTunes Singer/Songwriter charts. Mergui’s music has been featured in top-notch editorial playlists across digital service platforms including Spotify’s New Music Friday (US & Global), Chill Pop, New Pop Picks, and Just Good Music. Mergui’s unguarded sense of vulnerability shines through in his art, landing him a coveted spot on People Magazine’s Emerging Artists of 2024 list. Following a successful tour with Forest Blakk and a collaboration with Sam Feldt in the latter half of 2024, Mergui is ready to take 2025 by storm with the release of his latest EP Nobody Really Knows.

Pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale, alors que les combats faisaient rage en Europe, un problème logistique majeur menaçait l'efficacité des forces alliées : des montagnes de courrier en attente de distribution, empêchant soldats et familles de rester en contact. C'est dans ce contexte qu'un bataillon unique en son genre fut créé : le 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion, surnommé le "Six Triple Eight".Ce bataillon entièrement féminin, composé exclusivement de femmes afro-américaines, fut envoyé en Europe pour trier et distribuer un énorme retard de courrier militaire. Leur mission était non seulement essentielle pour le moral des troupes, mais aussi un véritable exploit dans un contexte où le racisme et le sexisme étaient omniprésents.Unité exceptionnelle et mission capitaleCréé en 1944, le bataillon 6888 comptait 855 femmes, dirigées par la Major Charity Adams, première femme afro-américaine officier dans l'armée américaine. Elles furent envoyées d'abord en Angleterre, puis en France, avec pour mission de traiter plus de 17 millions de lettres et colis en attente.Leur devise ? "No Mail, Low Morale" ("Pas de courrier, moral en berne"). Confrontées à des conditions difficiles – entrepôts froids, infestés de rats, et un chaos logistique –, elles mirent en place un système d'organisation efficace, travaillant jour et nuit en trois équipes de huit heures. En seulement trois mois, elles accomplirent une tâche qui devait initialement prendre six mois.Obstacles et reconnaissance tardiveMalgré leur rôle crucial, ces femmes durent affronter la ségrégation raciale et le sexisme, même au sein de l'armée américaine. Elles étaient cantonnées à des zones séparées et n'avaient pas droit aux mêmes commodités que leurs homologues blanches. Pourtant, elles accomplirent leur mission avec une efficacité exemplaire.Après la guerre, le 6888th Central Postal Directory Battalion fut démantelé sans cérémonie en 1946, et ses membres rentrèrent aux États-Unis sans aucune reconnaissance officielle.Une reconnaissance tardive mais méritéeCe n'est qu'en 2022, soit près de 80 ans plus tard, que le Congrès américain leur rendit hommage en leur décernant la Médaille d'or du Congrès, la plus haute distinction civile aux États-Unis.Le bataillon 6888 a prouvé que le patriotisme et le courage ne connaissent ni couleur ni genre. Leur histoire, longtemps oubliée, est aujourd'hui célébrée comme un exemple de détermination et de service. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

At the height of World War II, transporting the mail to GIs took a back seat to moving supplies to the front. Soon, millions of letters and packages were piling up with no one to sort them. Commanders reluctantly gave the job to a battalion of Black female soldiers, convinced the task would be too much for them. Despite facing racism and sexism - and grueling working conditions - the women of the Six Triple Eight accomplished their mission, re-establishing an important connection between the homefront and the battlefront. With an ensemble cast featuring Kerry Washington, Susan Sarandon, Sam Waterston, and Oprah Winfrey, The Six Triple Eight is inspired by the real story of the first and only Women's Army Corps unit of color to serve overseas in the Second World War. Given an extraordinary task and united in their determination, these unsung heroes delivered hope and shattered barriers, raising morale on both sides of the Atlantic. In this episode of You Can't Make This Up, host Rebecca Lavoie interviews writer and director Tyler Perry. SPOILER ALERT! If you haven't watched The Six Triple Eight yet, make sure to add it to your watch-list before listening on.  Listen to more from Netflix Podcasts.
