Podcasts about Somebody Somewhere

Jeff Hiller is someone you've seen. If you haven't seen him in his Emmy-winning turn on SOMEBODY SOMEWHERE, you might have seen him on the (newly Emmy nominated) WIDOWS BAY or PLURIBUS (which has, since this interview took place, earned him his second Emmy acting nom). Or maybe you've seen his memoir, ACTRESS OF A CERTAIN AGE, on the bookstore shelves. If you don't know Jeff, now you will: in this episode, he  tells Jordan about his connections to the timeless star-studded Southern dramedy STEEL MAGNOLIAS. But first he shares the significance of a character who brought the romcom "gay best friend" front and center at last: it's  George from THE OBJECT OF MY AFFECTION, one of Paul Rudd's earliest roles. Then Jordan has one quick thing about a new can't-miss dad movie, William Kaufman's MAN OF WAR.  The cast of STEEL MAGNOLIAS on DONAHUE in 1989 Help support this show and unlock bonus content!

In una certa famosa storia sul Kansas, la protagonista intraprende un viaggio di scoperta in una terra fantastica, impara qualcosa su se stessa, poi ritorna in un luogo di conforto sbattendo i tacchi e dicendo: "Nessun posto è come casa".Nell'adorabile ed eccentrica "Somebody Somewhere" una donna del Kansas con una canzone nel cuore si mette in viaggio per trovare la sua strada, restando. C'è un gruppo di compagni pittoreschi. Ci sono persino, alla fine, un tornado e un cagnolino.Ma il ritorno a casa e l'arrivare a sentirsi veramente a casa, è un processo molto più complicato.In questa puntata ti guido proprio attraverso il Kansas. Insieme a Sam, Joel e tutti gli altri fantastici personaggi guariremo le nostre ferite per poi buttarci su strada a caccia di posti assurdi dalla vera casa di Dorothy a una cittadina che ogni anno sfida l'Inghilterra a botte di pancakes!Ti aspetto all'ascolto e poi come sempre torna qua nei commenti partecipa ad Inside: https://substack.com/@eliistamericanatutto il mio mondo qui: https://linktr.ee/eliistil filo spinato: https://www.instagram.com/p/DOG6rC8jPlZ/LICENZA SIAE NUMERO: 202600000049

This week, our guest is Jeff Hiller. The veteran comedian and actor is hardly a newcomer, but it's his recent role on the television series Somebody Somewhere that has finally brought him widespread recognition. In 2025, he earned an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for that performance. Hiller talks about the journey in his memoir, Actress of a Certain Age: My Twenty-Year Trail to Overnight Success.  Fans have appreciated his captivating and heartfelt humor for decades at stand-up shows; in theater performances including Bloody, Bloody Andrew Jackson, The Tempest, and most recently the 2025 revival of Urinetown; and on television series like 30 Rock, Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt, and Community.On May 8, 2026, Hiller came to the Sydney Goldstein Theater in San Francisco to talk to Poulomi Saha about comedy, friendship, and success.  Saha is an English professor and the Co-Director of the Program in Critical Theory at UC Berkeley.  The evening was co-presented with San Francisco Public Library and a supporting non-profit, Friends of the San Francisco Public Library.

Screenwriters Hannah Bos (HBO's Somebody Somewhere), Kim Krizan (Before Sunrise, Before Sunset) and Selina Lim (Sex Education, Hanna) on building writing partnerships, developing characters from the inside out, and finding your way into a writers' room.   You'll learn Why a writing partnership only works when you can separate your ego from your ideas. How seven years of making weird theatre in Brooklyn quietly set the stage for an HBO show. What it takes to write a quiet, character-driven show in a TV landscape built for plot. How a master's thesis on a diarist turned into one of the most beloved screenplays of the nineties. How Before Sunrise was built from index cards on a living room floor. Why thinking about the product kills the work, and what to focus on instead. The case for starting with character before plot, and letting the story follow. What breaking into TV actually looks like. How to set the tone in a writers' room so the ridiculous ideas can surface. A practical approach to dialogue.

Misfits Makin' It is the podcast component of the misfit comedy shows produced by Lauren LoGiudice. Show dates and info at www.laurenlogiudice.com In this episode Lauren chats with with producer and First AD Drew Langer about the real grind behind great filmmaking. We talk about what he learned working alongside creatives like Jay Duplass, Mel Eslyn, Lynn Shelton, Bridget Everett, and Michael Strassner. Drew shares how creative tribes are built, why the Duplass motto is “no assholes,” and how kindness and preparation make for the best sets. We focus on Marcel the Shell with Shoes On, Somebody Somewhere, and The Baltimorons, exploring the courage it takes to choose sincerity over spectacle. It's a candid conversation about collaboration, humility, refining your craft, and why — as Drew puts it — the end result is just evidence of the grind.

The GIJOE Holiday Special was produced by Joe Slepski and Ted Jacobson Written by Joe Slepski Musical Segments produced by Ted Jacobson All GIJOE characters are owned by Hasbro and celebrity voices were impersonated. Except Santa Claus. He's very real. This is a loving tribute to our favorite afterschool cartoon, filtered through the legendary Star Wars Holiday Special and an absolute joy to put together due to the incredible talents of our cast. Derrick LeMont (Alpine) is a super talented actor and delight to work with, based out of Los Angeles. You've seen him on Black Lightning and the TV series Them! Check out his IMDB page and follow him! Rammel Chan (Quick Kick) is one of my great creative friends, who took time from his busy stage and screen career (Chicago Med, Somebody Somewhere, I Used to Go Here) to lend us his brilliance. Watch his IMDB page for some exciting new ventures! Joe Goltz (Bazooka) is a longtime creative partner of mine, friend and more importantly, an amazing Trombone player in the Youngblood Brass Band. If you don't know them, educate yourself and thank me later. Paul Galliano (Firefly) Paul is an actor that always delivers, a major GIJOE friend and more importantly a great friend of mine. One of the nicest, most talented people you'll ever know, give him a follow and a Yo Joe! Mark Silgalis (Major Bludd) has been a friend of mine since High School! He played Bludd in our Cold Slither episode and absolutely showed up with his performance here! Bulldogs for life! Phil Morris (Mr. T) Phil Morris is a Hollywood staple. You've seen him on Knight Rider, Star Trek, Mission: Impossible, Doom Patrol, he was Smallville's Martian Manhunter, and he is Seinfeld's Jackie Chiles! What a gentleman and friend, follow Phil and give him some GIJOE fan love. Doug Erholtz (Jackie Love) previously our Columbo, brought DIC's very own Jackie Love to life. Doug has voiced dozens of Anime and Video Game characters, from Street Fighter's Vega, Final Fantasy's Squall to the main Care Bear himself, Grumpy Bear. Find him at fan conventions and say hello from Joe on Joe! Mike Irrizzary (General Hawk) of the What's on Joe Mind Podcast once again returned as General Hawk and he's so good, we need to lobby Hasbro to cast him officially. Mike is a great friend and podcaster and you need to listen to What's on Joe Mind every week! Plug the show! Josh Eggebeen (Tiger Force Outback) Josh runs the After Action Report books and you won't find a more comprehensive look at the comic books of GIJOE than the AAR Books. Check them out! Colton Adams (Tollbooth) is a young actor making a big splash on stage and screen, as his growing IMDB page can attest to. He's such a bright light and I am insanely proud to see him following his dreams. John Pearson (Shipwreck) doesn't realize I'm going to be writing Shipwreck stories where he and Polly get into wacky adventures and Shipwreck learns life lessons. This talent is now in the fold! Josh D. King (Dee-Jay) is a multi-hyphenate talent. Not only is he a musical force, with songs on Spotify and Apple music, but has a new clothing brand, Incklined and a wonderfully successful children's book, I'm a Brilliant Little Black Boy. I was so happy he could join us, as I've been friends with his incredible father for many years now. Talent doesn't fall far from the tree! Our Satin and Weird Al musical segments were written and produced by Ted Jacobson! Wonderful writing brought to life by the vocal stylings of Chiquita Bakana as Satin, and the trio of Rocky Sams, Dimitry Karev & Micko D performing the Weird Al Polka Tribute. Ted has put together complete music videos to go with them on his BarkingFridge YouTube channel. Follow him and subscribe! Matt Plassman (Mainframe) is still tracking Santa, from writers rooms across Hollywood. An incredibly talented writer and continues to bring Mainframe to delightfully nerdy life. Monkees for life. Kevin Brennan (Wild Bill) Everything is bigger in Texas, but nothing bigger than the heart on Writer, Actor and Producer Kevin Brennan. Look for his hilarious movie, It's a Disaster on streamers everywhere. Chrisi Talyn Saje and Jeremy Saje (Cobra Newscasters) Chrisi is the force behind an amazing radio drama podcast, Madison On The Air. With Jeremy as producer, Madison travels through real life vintage radio dramas, bringing modern ridiculousness to vintage episodes. Give that show a listen and follow, they're wonderful friends. Lizzie Czerner (Mary Lou Retton) is just talent through and through. You've heard her before on our My Special Missions episode and she played Satin in our Cold Slither Behind the Rock. This time she brought the effervescent and iconic Mary Lou Retton to pre-recorded life. Brilliant! Rebekah Walendzak Slepski (Cover Girl) Toilet'eel herself brought our favorite Wolverine driver to life. Rebekah is as talented as she is lovely, sharp witted and the kindest sketch comedy instructor/union organizer/actress/writer/director you'll ever meet.

Among the breakout stars is long time comedian and larger than life personality Murray Hill! Long known as an event emcee, Hill is amazing in performing stand-up. Song, rimshots, ad-libbing and […]

This week on The Watchers, Jodie proposes a theory: Tarsem's The Fall might be the most English-major-ass movie we've ever covered. A movie about grief, connection, and the shared act of co-authoring a world together, The Fall spans continents and mythologies while really being about two people in one hospital room and their attempt at meaning-making. We get into Tarsem's laser-eyed focus on making this film a reality by self-funding, shooting in more than 25 countries, and holding the whole thing together through stubborn will. It's a movie that became a beloved favorite despite being nearly impossible to find until its 2024 restoration.Next week: Season 1 of Somebody Somewhere, the tender, joyful, devastating HBO series about friendship, grief, chosen family, and what it really means to come home.Recommended:Behind the Scenes - The Fall“Before Your Very Eyes: Tarsem's The Fall” - Nicholas Russell, Bright Wall / Dark Room“Liberations of Mind, Spirit and Vision: The Fall by Tarsem Singh” - Daniel Garrett, OffscreenIf you're reading this, that means you've probably got your podcatcher of choice open right now.

She knew she had to have him on the show — and we were deeply honored when he said yes, fresh off his big Emmy win. In this conversation, Jeff opens up about the myth of the “big break,” finding your authentic voice, navigating rejection with grace, and why it's never too late to chase your dreams.

For this week's very special episode on Rational Security's 10th anniversary, Scott sat down with a slew of co-hosts emeritus, each of whom brought their own topic to discuss.Shane Harris flagged the connections between online radicalization and the young men behind many recent public acts of gun violence, including the alleged perpetrator of the Charlie Kirk killing;Benjamin Wittes insisted we are STILL not talking enough about Russian drone incursions and other forms of gray zone warfare in Eastern Europe;Quinta Jurecic brought some statistics about the success (or not) of the Trump administration's federalization of law enforcement in D.C. (and elsewhere) that are worth contemplating; andAlan Rozenshtein asked how it can still be true that no one but him seems to care about the Trump administration blatantly disregarding the TikTok ban.In object lessons, Shane is basking in the glory of HBO's “Somebody Somewhere”—partly because his buddy Jeff Hiller just won an Emmy for his role in it. Ben praises Adam Boehler—and even Donald Trump—for helping secure Elizabeth Tsurkov's release. Alan is definitely not using this opportunity to use Pacific Rim for his object lesson—really—instead recommending fantasy mystery “The Tainted Cup,” by Robert Jackson Bennett. Scott takes us into orbit with Samantha Harvey's “Orbital,” a lyrical meditation on life and reflection in space. And Quinta dives into the future with “Empire of AI,” by Karen Hao, a deeply reported look at OpenAI and its role in shaping the technology's trajectoryLast call to help us celebrate Lawfare's 15th anniversary!

Bridget Everett’s last meal takes us to New Orleans’ second oldest restaurant, where Creole and Italian cooking collide into a cuisine called (you guessed it) Italian Creole! The owner of Pascal’s Manale, Dickie Brennan, joins the show to talk about the special menu and the restaurant’s long history. Bridget performed her delightfully raunchy cabaret act for years before landing the lead role on HBO Max’s Somebody Somewhere (and she still performs it!), but she made a living working in restaurants. We talk about the highs and lows of her 30-year restaurant career, and when she was able to quit. And she tells host Rachel Belle how she learned to cook on national television. Both Bridget and her character on Somebody Somewhere love ordering “French toast for the table” at The Chef, a diner in Manhattan, Kansas. Is French toast actually French? We learn its origin story from Max Miller, host of Tasting History. Watch Rachel’s Cascade PBS TV show The Nosh with Rachel Belle - Season 2 out now!

If you fell in love with Jeff Hiller’s character Joel on Somebody, Somewhere (he was just nominated for his first Emmy for his performance!), you’ll want to pick up his new memoir, Actress of a Certain Age: My Twenty-Year Trail to Overnight Success. Jeff tells host Rachel Belle how he got his big break, his first role on a TV show at age 45 after 20 years of auditions, and why his childhood ambitions of becoming a pastor were dashed. Jeff loves eating in restaurants; he’d eat out every night if his husband would let him. So Tan Vinh, one of The Seattle Times’ food writers and critics, joins the show to talk about what it’s really like to eat at restaurants for a living. What does three dinners a night do to the body? What does Tan eat and drink on his days off? What does he do with the endless leftovers? Listen in to find out! Then Jeff Hiller shares two options for his last meal: one for the little angel perched on his shoulder and one for the little devil squatting on the other.

When Bridget Everett was growing up in Kansas, the question “How are you feeling?” was not often asked. That's part of the reason why Bridget embraced singing and making music as her primary way to connect with people. She tells Marc how this led to the development of her live cabaret shows which got her noticed by Michael Patrick King, Amy Schumer, and eventually HBO. They also talk about how Bridget's acclaimed and beloved show Somebody Somewhere taught her how to face grief and live with it. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
