Ein grosses Talent war Kevin Fiala immer schon. Der hochbegabte Stürmer aus der Juniorenabteilung des EHC Uzwil  landete wie prophezeit in der NHL. Doch in der besten Eishockey-Liga konnte Fiala zunächst nicht immer sein Potenzial abrufen. Als "Rebell" und "schwieriger Fall" stand er sich oft selber im Weg.Umso bemerkenswerter ist der Werdegang Fialas in den letzten Jahren. Mittlerweile ist er nicht nur ein Top-Leistungsträger bei den Los Angeles Kings. Er beeindruckt auch mit seiner Reife neben dem Eisfeld und als Spieler mit riesiger Hingabe für die Schweizer Nationalmannschaft. Sowohl 2024, als auch 2025 reiste er unter alles andere als normalen Umständen an die WM - beim ersten Mal unmittelbar nach der Geburt seines ersten Kindes, ein Jahr später kurz nachdem er und seine Ehefrau Jessica ihr zweites Kind verloren hatten.Fiala ist in der Schweiz geboren. Seine Eltern sind Tschechen, seine Ehefrau Schwedin, er lernte sie als Junior in ihrem Heimatland kennen. Seine Traumdestination ist Los Angeles, wo er 2022 einen 7-Jahres-Vertrag unterschrieb. Im "Eisbrecher"-Podcast spricht er über das Leben in einer speziellen und widersprüchlichen Stadt wie LA mit all ihrem Glamour und Problemen, über die Bedeutung von Herkunft und Heimat sowie natürlich seinem Werdegang zum Mensch und Spieler, der er heute ist.

Skid Row! Das dreckigste, Gott verlassenste und gefährlichste Viertel der Stadt. Streunende Mädchen ohne Zukunft, harte motorradfahrende Gangster und… der harmlose Seymour im Blumenladen um die Ecke. Oder sieht er nur so harmlos aus mit seiner nerdigen Brille und den nervösen Ticks? Einer wie der kann doch nie einer Fliege was zu leide tun. Nun ja, vielleicht einem Zahnarzt und vielleicht einem Chef eines gewissen Blumenladens, der ihn erpressen will. Aber nur wenn es darum geht, die Frau seiner Träume zu bekommen und nur mit der Hilfe einer… menschenfressenden Pflanze! Dum-dum-duuuuuuuh. Diese fleischfressende Pflanze, die er Audrey II tauft, nach seiner großen Liebe, die mit ihm im Blumenladen arbeitet, nimmt ihren Anfang als kleines süßes Pflänzchen. Aber als Seymour es ausversehen mit Blut füttert, wächst und gedeiht die Pflanze zu einer Sensation heran die das ganze Viertel anzieht und den Blumenladen und seine Mitarbeiter reich macht. Wenn die Stadt nur wüsste, wovon sich die Monstrosität ernährt! Kleine Blutstropfen reichen bald nicht mehr. Ganze Körper verschlingt die Pflanze und sie verlangt Morde von Seymour. Eine Weile macht er das mit, aus Angst und auch aus Ruhmeslust. Dann durchschaut er den Welteroberungsplan des botanischen Bastards und will dem ganzen ein Ende setzen. Hier nimmt der Film zwei verschiedene Pfade, je nach dem ob man den düsteren Director's Cut sieht, oder das Hollywood Happy End, das sich die Zuschauerschaft erklagt hat. Wie die aussehen? Darüber wird jetzt zu sprechen sein. Welches Ende hat dir besser gefallen, Plor?

Join us for a fun, casual debate about which Skid Row album reigns supreme - Their self-titled debut 'Skid Row', or their sophomore album 'Slave To The Grind'! We talk about our personal experiences with each album and what we still love about each one before picking our personal winner.

A new study found that there are fewer homeless people in Hollywood and Venice, but more on Skid Row. An L.A. County Supervisor wants L.A. to fire back at the Trump administration's lawsuit, and we're days away from the 4th of July, but there are already warnings about fireworks. The L.A. Local is sponsored by the LA Car Guy family of dealerships.

Send us a textIn this episode of One Drink Podcast, we crank the volume and dive headfirst into the gritty glory of Skid Row's iconic anthem “18 and Life.” We break down the music video, the meaning behind the lyrics, and how a rebellious youth named Ricky became a symbol of bad choices and broken dreams. And just when you think you know his story—we give you an unexpected update on what Ricky might be up to now.It's loud, it's raw, and it's pure 80s rock storytelling at its finest. So grab a cold one and join us as we rewind the tape on one of the most unforgettable rock ballads of all time.

Connor and Dylan are joined by Graham Phillips (Little Shop of Horrors, 13). Suddenly, Graham y'all! The twins are gagged to have this star of stage and screen on the podcast to honor his highly anticipated return to the New York stage. But first, the boys gag over Orville Peck and Eva Noblezada in Cabaret at the Kit Kat Club. Graham is currently starring as Seymour in Little Shop of Horrors, alongside longtime friend and castmate Liz Gillies. From the workshops of 13 to the streets of Skid Row, they're finally reunited onstage. Graham discusses what it's been like joining the show, spills tea on the roles-that-almost-were over the years, and a possible clowning storyline. We ask about highlights from The Good Wife (and what he would've done on The Good Fight!), memories from Riverdale, and his film studio that he runs with his brother: Phillips Pictures. Chemistry reads with Zachary Quinto, wrap parties with Calista Flockhart and Harrison Ford, and late night karaoke sessions with Liz Gillies and 13 alums are allllll mentioned. Stick around to find out what Graham's (and Seymour Krelborn's) enneagram type is!

Sitars and Symphonies: LA Composer Reena Esmail Fuses Indian Ragas with Western Rhythms We continue our California composers series with Reena Esmail. Her childhood in Los Angeles had two soundtracks: the Western classical music her parents loved, and the old, scratchy Bollywood tapes her paternal grandparents would play over and over. Those multicultural influences shaped what would become the driving question of her work: how do you invite people from different cultures onto the same stage to build a relationship and create music together? Composing is how Esmail has made her mark — by putting Western classical musicians in conversation with Indian artists, building bridges between violinists and sitar players, tabla drummers and western singers. She's an artist in residence with the Los Angeles Master Chorale, has composed with unhoused singers from Skid Row, and her music has been performed by major orchestras and choirs all over the world. How a UC Berkeley Professor Confronts Division With a Vision for Belonging Professor john a. powell spent much of his early life feeling like he didn't belong. At just 11 years old, he became estranged from his deeply religious family. After questioning church doctrine and not getting the answers he was looking for, powell — who spells his name in lowercase — left the church, and his father did not speak to him for five years. But that pivotal moment was the beginning of the path that led him to his life's work. powell is the director of the Othering and Belonging Institute at UC Berkeley, where he's also a professor of law, African American studies and ethnic studies. He's the author of two recent books, “Belonging Without Othering,” and “The Power of Bridging.” powell spoke with host Sasha Khokha as part of our series on Californians and resilience.  Learn more about your ad choices.

They begin with a discussion of Sanchez's journey of becoming a journalist including how she started off by taking photos at Skid Row to display the heart of the community and then transitioned to documenting a Guatemalan man for two years. They talk about the impact visual journalism has on our society and why it's so valuable. Sanchez dives into the process of documenting hot button topics of recent years and explains how she paints an authentic picture of the people and communities she covers, noting the strict morals that go behind it all. They conclude with Sanchez explaining her evolution as a visual journalist and why it started from a passion project. And we send the 13th season of Catalyst off into the sunset with this concluding interview of TikTok content creator Sarah Pascarella by Samantha Perez. A graduate of Cal State Long Beach University with a degree in Interior Design and a minor in Journalism, Sarah discusses how she made the decision post-graduation to live abroad as an Au Pair in Paris, France. Sarah and Samantha discuss how Sarah, having not known the language at first and experiencing the cultural shift of the move, decided to document her experiences on TikTok sparking discussions on the cultural differences. Sarah's documentation of her life and work have given her a unique voice as a content creator, as she looks at her own perspective shifts in witty and authentic ways. The pair also discuss how diving into the role of influencer has given her new career goals and how she plans to integrate her creativity into her influencer content. They wrap up the interview with some poignant advice from Sarah regarding taking new leaps in life and how new experiences can shape you, just as her choices in career and living in Paris have shaped her own development as a person.

Ever been so enraged in traffic you contemplated getting out of your car to flip someone off? Bobby explores this universal frustration with hilarious candor, sharing his recent experience acting as a road rage surrogate for his friend. It's not just about anger—it's about human connection in our modern world where we've traded physical confrontations for symbolic gestures.Bobby takes us along on his recent comedy tour journey from Salt Lake City (where legendary comic Rory Scoville was performing next door) to downtown Los Angeles (where he accidentally wandered near Skid Row). The constant thread through these adventures? His unmedicated ADHD brain noticing everything from bad paint jobs in bathrooms to the psychological warfare of airplane deplaning etiquette.The most touching moments come when Bobby reflects on the friends who supported his early comedy career—those who showed up to open mics and struggled to find positive feedback beyond "everything you did up there was English." This raw honesty about the comedy journey resonates whether you're pursuing your own creative passion or just trying to figure out how to navigate social interactions without losing your mind.With his signature unfiltered style, Bobby reminds us we're all just trying to figure life out, whether we're giving middle fingers on highways or watching our friends chase their dreams while wondering if they'll ever "make it." Sometimes the most human response is simply acknowledging our shared frustrations and finding humor in the chaos.Come see Bobby headline in Cleveland (May 30-31) or Austin at the Velveeta Room, and check out his Patreon for exclusive updates about upcoming shows in your city.

Audrey II was more than just a mean green mother from outer space. Back in 1984, and voiced by Levi Stubbs, he was the main attraction of the movie musical, Little Shop of Horrors. Based on an off-Broadway show, which itself was based on a 1960 horror comedy of the same name, the Frank Oz directed flick achieved cult classic status on VHS and Beta. But now, decades later, are we still singing its praises? Are abusive boyfriends, exploitive bosses, and blood-thirsty plants the stuff of sing-a-longs? Or is this Rick Moranis' finest hour? The Old Roommates head down Skid Row and give it all a revisit through their middle-aged lens. Listen to this.Old Roommates can be reached via email at oldroommatespod@gmail.com.

True Crime Tuesday presents: Murder On Skid Row with Author, Charlene Wexler! The homeless and migrants are not new to Chicago. In the 1960s, there was Chicago's Skid Row, centered at Madison and Halsted Streets. Now an area filled with recently built upscale housing and trendy businesses near Greektown, decades ago it was a downtrodden community occupied by lost souls, mainly veterans from the war nobody wanted to recognize—Vietnam. Mel, a young dentist who believes he can do good for the people living on Skid Row, enters into this world in 1966. It is a community so different than the working-class neighborhood in which he grew up—a world of gangs, bums, politicians, prostitutes, and murderers—and a few kind-hearted souls who want to help. While trying to become one of those kind-hearted souls by providing dental therapy to his patients, Mel becomes a suspect in a double murder. Did Mel do it, or was it one of the Skid Row swindlers and hustlers? Find out in Murder on Skid Row. On today's TCT, we talk to the Author of "Murder On Skid Row", Charlene Wexler, about the parallels between her own experiences with her dentist husband and his practice in Chicago, and her experiences, and the story in the book! We also talk about how the city of Chicago has changed since the mid 60's, when the book took place, and about the characters and setting of the book as well!

Bridget sits down with Jared Klickstein, author of Crooked Smile, to discuss the gritty realities of addiction, homelessness, and the policy failures that have turned them into epidemics. They cover Jared's personal story, being raised by heroin addicts, his own struggle with addiction, surviving a decade on Skid Row, and how he got clean. They dissect the progressive policies that caused addiction and homelessness to explode, the multitude of non-profits intended to address the problems that are actually just scams, why you need ex-junkies running recovery programs, the difference between being homeless and being "houseless," the critical need to prosecute crime, and the immediate action steps that must be taken if the problems are to be effectively addressed.
