Extra Extra! Listen hear all about it! This week Janet, John, (and Pen) dive into the life of the zeitgeist of zeitgeists, the legendary, revolutionary, groundbreaking, funny force of nature who sang like a blue angel, our logo….Marlene Dietrich! Born on December 27, 1901 at Leberstraße 65 in the neighborhood of Rote Insel in Schöneberg, now a district of Berlin, Dietrich became one of the most iconic figures in the entertainment industry, known for her distinctive voice, smoldering sex appeal, glamorous style, and androgynous allure. Originally planning to become a classical violnist, an injury turned our starlet to theater. After a failed audition for Max Reinhardt, Dietrich got her start as a chorus girl in his theaters, but never seemed to get her big break on the stage. She moved her career towards film, acting in So sind die Männer (1923) and The Tragedy of Love (1923), while still maintaining a career on the stage and in cabaret— embodying the "New Women" lifestyle. By 1930, She got her big break in the film Der Blaue Engel (The Blue Angel) after film director, Josef Von Sternberg saw her performance in Zwei Krawatten (Two Ties). She would go on to act in Morocco (1930), Dishonored (1931), Blonde Venus (1932), The Scarlet Empress (1934), The Devil Is a Woman (1935), A Foreign Affair (1948), Stage Fright (1950), Witness for the Prosecution (1957), Touch of Evil (1958), and Judgment at Nuremberg (1961). She was also nominated for a best actress cast in 1932 for  Morocco, Golden Globe and a Laurel Award in 1958 for WItness for the Prosecution.  To learn more about this episode and others, visit the official Cinema Sounds & Secrets website!

You're really talented. I'll be right beside you," Sojin said with a smile.Ko: 소진은 친구들에게 늘 힘을 주는 사람이었습니다.En: Sojin was a person who always supported her friends.Ko: 지호는 머뭇거리며 말했습니다. "그래도 난 무대에 서는 게 두려워. 많은 사람들이 날 쳐다보면 몸이 굳어버려."En: Jiho hesitated and said, "Even so, I'm afraid to stand on stage. I freeze up when many people are staring at me."Ko: 소진은 고개를 끄덕이며 조심스럽게 제안했습니다. "우리 같이 듀엣으로 할래? 그러면 너도 좀 나아지지 않을까?"En: Sojin nodded and carefully suggested, "How about we perform a duet? Maybe that'll help you feel better."Ko: 지호는 고민 끝에 고개를 끄덕였습니다.En: Jiho pondered for a moment before nodding.Ko: "좋아, 같이 해보자."En: "Okay, let's do it together."Ko: 드디어 지호와 소진의 차례가 되었습니다.En: Finally, it was Jiho and Sojin's turn.Ko: 지호는 긴장된 마음으로 무대에 올랐습니다.En: Jiho walked onto the stage with a nervous heart.Ko: 처음에는 손이 떨렸습니다.En: At first, his hands were trembling.Ko: 몇 음을 틀리기도 했습니다.En: He even missed a few notes.Ko: 하지만 소진이 다정하게 미소 지으며 그를 응원해 주었습니다.En: But then Sojin smiled warmly and cheered him on.Ko: 지호는 용기를 얻고 다시 시작했습니다.En: Jiho gained courage and started again.Ko: 곧 그들의 연주는 강당을 가득 채우는 멋진 음악으로 변했습니다.En: Soon, their performance transformed into wonderful music that filled the auditorium.Ko: 공연이 끝나자 강당은 박수 소리로 가득 찼습니다.En: When the performance ended, the auditorium was filled with applause.Ko: 지호는 얼굴이 붉어졌지만 미소를 지었습니다.En: Jiho's face turned red, but he smiled.Ko: 친구들이 환호하는 소리가 들려왔고, 그들 사이에서 특히 소진의 얼굴이 빛나 보였습니다.En: He heard his friends cheering, and among them, Sojin's face shone particularly brightly.Ko: "잘했어, 지호야! 정말 멋졌어," 소진이 그를 꼭 안아주었습니다.En: "Great job, Jiho!

Jenny Slate jokes about barre class in her Netflix special, "Stage Fright".

In this final episode of our Women in Italian Cinema mini-season, we focus on the unsung hero of Filmirage, Donatella Donati. She worked for many years with Joe D'Amato as a producer, production manager, screenwriter, script girl, and even set design on occasion. The most high-profile film she produced was StageFright, which also served as Michele Soavi's directorial debut after he had worked for Filmirage for several years. So join Adrian and Rod as they discuss vital issues like why doesn't Donati have her own Wikipedia page? Is that really George Eastman under the owl head? And why did Quest for the Mighty Sword (Joe D'Amato, 1990) almost kill Filmirage? We would love to hear from you about your favourite Italian female filmmakers, or your favourite Filmirage films.

In this episode, I sit down with drummer Paul Stewart for a conversation that starts with how music can connect people across oceans and turns into a deep dive on taste, touch, craft, and the long arc of a career. Paul and I talk about how I first discovered his band The Feeling years ago from a CD a friend handed me after a gig, and how that one listen turned into a long-term appreciation for the songs, the playing, and the production. Paul shares why so many musicians connected with that sound, and how their work pulled from both the 70s world of Supertramp, 10CC, Elton John, and Fleetwood Mac, and the deeper 60s roots that fed that era, like The Beatles, The Stones, The Kinks, and The Zombies. We get into drum sound, why that thuddy, dead 70s tone fits their music so well, and how those choices shaped the identity of the recordings.Paul walks me through his origin story, from being hooked on drum sound as a kid, to getting his first kit at 12, to saying yes to every playing opportunity he could find. He tells an incredible story about a middle school teacher who stayed late after school so Paul could get extra time in the drum room, and we zoom out on how mentors, parents, and supportive educators change the course of a life. From there, we talk about preparation, professionalism, and the responsibility you carry in an ensemble, including how the anxiety of being underprepared can be its own lesson in why doing the work matters. Paul also shares a regret he has about not keeping his reading chops sharper, and why playing along with records became his true north as a drummer.We dig into influences from both sides of Paul's musical world, from rock and early Chili Peppers and Rage Against the Machine, to the cassette tapes an uncle sent that opened the door to jazz, funk, fusion, and players like Vinnie Colaiuta, Dave Weckl, and the Tower of Power world. Paul explains how the UK acid jazz scene became a significant pull, and how an acid jazz band at music college eventually evolved into The Feeling. We also talk about what it's like working with major artists outside the band, including how touring logistics can lead to local musicians being hired, and how surreal it can be to play iconic songs with legendary voices while still remembering they're just musicians on stage doing the same job.A meaningful part of our conversation is about performance anxiety, stage fright, and the emotional extremes musicians ride before, during, and after gigs. We talk honestly about confidence, coping, and what it means to choose a healthier path, and we acknowledge that even global superstars can struggle with fear right before walking on stage. Paul and I also reflect on the approaching anniversary of The Feeling's first album, how those songs were originally recorded as a weekend friends project without any expectation of success, and how playing them now carries twenty years of growth, finesse, and perspective while still honoring the original parts that make the songs work. We close with what Paul has been up to recently, including work with Anastacia, Paul Young, The Voice UK, and the broader creative world around the band, and why music remains a powerful source of joy, balance, and hope for people everywhere.Music from the Episode:Never Be Lonely (The Feeling)Everyday and All of the Night (The Feeling)Sun Won't Shine (The Feeling)I Want You Now (The Feeling)Thank you for listening.

Lars delte førstepladsen.En: The judges announced the result: Axel and Lars shared first place.Da: Axel kunne næsten ikke tro det.En: Axel could hardly believe it.Da: Hans hjerte svulmede af stolthed.En: His heart swelled with pride.Da: Senere stod han med Freja ved sin side.En: Later, he stood with Freja by his side.Da: Sneen faldt blidt omkring dem.En: The snow fell gently around them.Da: "Du klarede det, Axel!"En: "You did it, Axel!"Da: sagde Freja begejstret.En: Freja said excitedly.Da: Axel nikkede og smilede.En: Axel nodded and smiled.Da: Han havde lært, at det at skubbe sig selv ud over sin komfortzone kunne føre til store ting.En: He had learned that pushing himself beyond his comfort zone could lead to great things.Da: Han var ikke længere bare en genert pianist.En: He was no longer just a shy pianist.Da: Han var en vinder med nyfundet selvtillid.En: He was a winner with newfound confidence.

Great morning, world—welcome back to Makes Sense with Dr. JC Doornick, where confusion dies and progress thrives. Today, I'm joined by someone who has changed the way thousands of people think about motivation, achievement, and the stories we tell ourselves about success—Nic Voge. Nic is a Senior Lecturer at Princeton University and one of the foremost voices on Self-Worth Theory, a framework first developed by Dr. Martin Covington. His work brings this theory to life, helping students, professionals, and leaders understand how the drive to protect our self-worth often hides beneath patterns like procrastination, perfectionism, and imposter syndrome. You may know Nic from his viral TED Talk, where he reveals why high achievers often struggle the most—and how true confidence comes not from doing more, but from redefining where our sense of worth comes from. This isn't just a conversation about productivity—it's about identity.It's about how we relate to failure, success, and the quiet belief that we are—or aren't—enough. So take a deep breath.Because today, we're going to make sense of the stories that shape our self-worth—with Nic Voge.

The Ghost Furnace - Episode 136 "Stage Fright"   On this week's episode we welcome Kate to the show! She shares a few stories about her hometown, and some spirits she's come across. Now the title of this episode is a little misleading because one of the elements we cover here is around how spirits, like people, are not as negative as the tv shows and films would have you believe. To the extent they can actually be helpful is something worth highlighting.   If you have a story you'd like to share, you can find us on Instagram, YouTube or TheGhostFurnacePodcast@gmail.com

Fluent Fiction - Mandarin Chinese: From Stage Fright to Standing Ovation: Liu Wei's Musical Leap Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/zh/episode/2025-10-23-22-34-02-zh Story Transcript:Zh: 秋天，金色的树叶在北京一所高中操场上翩翩起舞。En: In the autumn, golden leaves danced gracefully across the playground of a high school in Beijing.Zh: 中秋节刚刚过去，但学校的走廊里仍挂着纸灯笼，微风中飘荡着月饼的香气。En: The Mid-Autumn Festival had just passed, but paper lanterns still hung in the school corridors, and the scent of mooncakes wafted in the breeze.Zh: 这是一个忙碌的早晨，因为今天是学校的才艺表演比赛。En: It was a busy morning because today was the school's talent show competition.Zh: 刘伟是一个害羞的学生。En: Liu Wei was a shy student.Zh: 他非常喜欢拉二胡，但他对在众人面前表演感到很紧张。En: He really enjoyed playing the erhu, but he felt very nervous about performing in front of others.Zh: 想起之前在台上演奏时的紧张经历，他的心里就发慌。En: Remembering his previous anxious experiences of playing on stage, he felt a flutter of panic.Zh: 可是在班上，他暗暗喜欢的梅玲是一位才华横溢的钢琴家。En: In his class, however, there was Mei Ling, a talented pianist whom he secretly admired.Zh: 他希望能在才艺表演中让梅玲注意到自己。En: He hoped to get her attention during the talent show.Zh: 然而，还有一个让刘伟紧张的人，那就是陈荣。En: There was another person who made Liu Wei nervous, and that was Chen Rong.Zh: 他总是以出色的表现赢得大家的称赞。En: Chen Rong always won everyone's praise for his outstanding performances.Zh: 刘伟心里暗想，如何才能在这个舞台上表现自己呢？En: Liu Wei thought to himself, how could he make his own mark on this stage?Zh: 终于，他鼓起勇气，决定向梅玲请教，希望她能给予一些建议。En: Finally, he gathered the courage to seek advice from Mei Ling, hoping she could offer some guidance.Zh: 一个午后，阳光透过窗户洒在教室里，刘伟找到梅玲，脸红红的。En: One afternoon, with sunlight streaming through the classroom windows, Liu Wei approached Mei Ling, his face flushed.Zh: “梅玲，我...我想请教你一些事情。”他说，声音有些结巴。En: "Mei Ling, I... I'd like to ask you something," he said, his voice a bit stammering.Zh: “当然可以，刘伟。”梅玲微笑着说。“你乐器演奏得很好，我可以帮你。”En: "Of course, Liu Wei," Mei Ling said with a smile. "You play the instrument very well, and I can help you."Zh: 梅玲建议他在表演时集中注意力在音乐上，把心中最想表达的情感传递出来。En: Mei Ling suggested that during his performance, he focus on the music and convey the emotions he most wanted to express.Zh: 她还告诉刘伟，有时候脆弱不是缺点，而是一种能打动人心的力量。En: She also told Liu Wei that sometimes vulnerability wasn't a weakness but a power that could move people's hearts.Zh: 赛前的晚上，刘伟反复练习。En: The night before the competition, Liu Wei practiced repeatedly.Zh: 想到梅玲的话，心里渐渐充满了信心。En: Thinking of Mei Ling's words filled his heart with confidence.Zh: 到了表演那天，礼堂内座无虚席。En: On the day of the performance, the auditorium was packed.Zh: 五光十色的舞台灯光打在刘伟的脸上，他心跳如鼓。En: The colorful stage lights shone on Liu Wei's face, and his heart pounded like a drum.Zh: 就在这时，他瞥见坐在观众席中的梅玲，她向他点头微笑。En: Just then, he spotted Mei Ling in the audience, nodding and smiling at him.Zh: 旋律流淌，刘伟闭上双眼，投入地演奏着。En: The melody flowed, and Liu Wei closed his eyes and played with all his heart.Zh: 他感受到一股力量从指尖流向二胡，激荡起全场观众的心弦。En: He could feel a strength flowing from his fingertips into the erhu, resonating with the audience.Zh: 音乐停下，厅内响起掌声如潮水般的响声。En: When the music stopped, a wave of applause echoed through the hall.Zh: 刘伟感受到了从未有过的自由和轻松。En: Liu Wei had never felt such freedom and ease.Zh: 他终于明白，真正传达自己的情感比赢得比赛更加重要。En: He finally understood that truly conveying his emotions was more important than winning the competition.Zh: 下台后，他对自己多了一份自信。En: After stepping off the stage, he felt more confident.Zh: 他意识到，音乐不仅是他的爱好，更是连接他人与曾经屏障的桥梁。En: He realized that music was not just his hobby, but also a bridge connecting him with others and overcoming barriers.Zh: 刘伟站在后台，心中不再惧怕，带着触动与成长，向未来迈出坚定的步伐。En: Standing backstage, Liu Wei no longer feared, moving forward with determination and growth towards the future.

With its focus on characters and narratives outside the mainstream, horror is considered by some to be an inherently queer genre. According to the founders of the Stage Fright Festival, horror has “a special and symbiotic connection to queer culture.” The festival celebrates that connection with a lineup of performances that range from campy to creepy to chilling. This year’s festival will take place Oct. 9-19 at the CoHo Theatre in Northwest Portland.   Amica Hunter and Jeff Desautels are the co-founders of the Stage Fright Festival. They join us to talk about how the festival has evolved since it launched in 2022 and what makes horror so queer.

What does it really take to leave home, risk it all, and start over in the heart of country music? On this episode of Bringin' It Backwards, Adam and Tera Lisicky sit down with rising country artist Charly Reynolds for a candid look at her journey from growing up in Orlando, Florida—where Disney magic and country music mixed in unexpected ways—to hustling her way onto Nashville's famed Broadway stages. Charly opens up about the real struggles (and not-so-glamorous jobs at Chick-fil-A) that paved the road from high school release shows to playing the Wildhorse Saloon, founding her sound, and becoming an independent artist with a debut album, "Off the Record." She unpacks the self-doubt, hustle, and tenacity it takes to make a name for yourself in Nashville's daunting music scene, all while learning to tune out the noise and stay true to your vision. From her love of Disney princesses and early Taylor Swift inspiration to the lessons learned from four-hour sets on lower Broadway—and even a battle with vocal cord surgery—Charly's story is proof that the path to stardom is far from straight, but it's always authentic. Whether you're grinding your way through music city, searching for your artistic voice, or just love a story of raw perseverance, this episode is for you. Listen in, get inspired, and don't forget to subscribe for more honest artist stories on Bringin' It Backwards.

Happy 400th Episode!!! I sit down with Chris to talk about the fascinating connection between stage fright and sensitivity. So many of us carry this primal fear of being watched, and it can trigger deep nervous system responses that we don't always understand. Chris shares his journey from doing magic tricks in kindergarten to performing on stage thousands of times, and how setting boundaries with fear helped him let go of performance anxiety. We get into the science—mirror neurons, sensitivity, and how our bodies can pick up and mirror other people's nervous systems. I share how being around Chris's calm energy helped me build the confidence I needed to start podcasting.And in our “Good for the Soul” segment, we share the small, simple things that have been helping us feel grounded and nourished lately. Chris describes his latest passion for homemade sausage making, while I talk about discovering authentic sourdough bread that doesn't trigger my usual digestive issues. This segment reflects our belief that mental health includes nurturing all aspects of ourselves, from creative pursuits to simple pleasures that feed our souls.
