Gli ospiti di questo episodio sono l'artista, calligrafo Luca Barcellona e il giornalista di cronaca nera Salvatore Garzillo. I due, oltre a essere amici, hanno in comune anche il progetto Stand-Up Tragedy nel quale mettono in scena le loro competenze esaminando un caso di cronaca nera tra narrazione, arte e ricerca musicale. Una chiacchierata che attraversa le loro passioni partendo dal "giro di nera" milanese all'incontro volante con Renato Pozzetto, facendo tappa nell'inchiesta in un gruppo della destra italiana e nella collezione estesa di dischi rari, fino a Vallanzasca.

Today's episode is about storytelling, imagination and prayer -- three things St. Ignatius of Loyola saw as interconnected. Fr. Bill Cain, SJ, has a rather intimidating bio: He's a Peabody and Writers' Guild award winning screenwriter who has worked on several films and television shows, including Nothing Sacred, Thicker Than Blood, and more. His work for theater includes Equivocation, 9 Circles, Stand-Up Tragedy and How To Write A New Book For The Bible. He received the 2009 and 2010 Steinberg/American Theatre Critics Association New Play Award, and is the only writer to receive the award in sequential years. There's more awards, too, and they're all impressive. Plus, he founded the Boston Shakespeare Company, and has spent more than a few years teaching at Nativity Schools. But the reason he's on the podcast today isn't for any of that. He's here because he wrote a book about Jesus Christ, a deeply moving and tender story that was so good it found its way into conversation around the dinner table of host, Eric Clayton. And that's something worth reflecting on. After all, isn't that the nature of the Gospel? Jesus lived a life worth talking about, did things that were so remarkable people told their friends, their families, said, “Hey — you've got to check this guy out. He's gonna change how you view the world.” St. Ignatius himself was so moved by the story of Christ — not the scripture, specifically, at least not at first — but by another author's account of Jesus. And that imaginative tale is what led the soldier-turned-saint to embrace a new life, a new way of loving. So, in today's episode, consider what it means to encounter Christ through imaginative storytelling. How might such an encounter change your life?
Humor liegt Sam, Frank und Ken im Blut. Können die Kater aber auch auf Knopfdruck witzig sein? Da bereits im Vorfeld berechtigte Zweifel im Raum stehen, hat Sam die EoW-Aufgabe präventiv "Stand-up Tragedy" getauft. Wer überzeugt mit seinem spontanen Programm? Hört es euch selbst an!
Original Date: June 27, 2016Most of Monday’s show is a conversation that took place a couple weeks back between your friends in podcasting and special guest Dave Pickering. And since that time, Dean and Phil have been dying to share it with you … Dave Pickering is a “storyteller” in so many ways. Based in the UK, he hosts and produces Getting Better Acquainted, Stand Up Tragedy and much, much more. He has a new show debuting this fall that sounds fascinating. Just interviewing him would make for a great show, but he actually starts out by turning the tables on Dean and Phil and interviewing THEM for the first half hour! What transpires is surprising, thoughtful and maybe even inspiring. All in all, it’s an hour unlike any other, which is to say, it’s what you loyal listeners have come to expect from YOUR Chillpak Hollywood Hour!

Depression und Kabarett passen eigentlich nicht zusammen. Doch es gibt Künstler*innen, die die Krankheit erlebt haben und auf der Bühne darüber sprechen, etwa Helene Bockhorst und Nico Semsrott. Anja Buchmann hat sich mit "Stand-up-tragedy" befasst.
Enjoy our FBA Podcast this week: Communicating the Dharma Through the Arts – Show Don’t Tell by Sarvananda. Be prepared for the unexpected in this very funny – and by turns wrongfooting – personal exploration of why the Arts are vital to the development of a genuine Buddhist community. Sarvananda discusses as background his attempts to find a synthesis between the Arts and spiritual life, leading to his current work as a successful playwright. But it is in the three departures from a traditional Dharma talk that we glimpse something else – the crucial show-don’t-tell aspect of the title. Suffice to say, if you have not heard Stand-Up Tragedy, Dharma Ventriloquism, or a Ukulele Lady Visualisation before, best turn on your heart and your ears…
In GBA 349 we get better acquainted with Louise. She talks about the round about route her life has taken between when we met at university and now, finding her way to poetry, writing and teaching, her relationship with Wigan where she has lived most of her life, her new music projects, coming back to dance after years away, being a self employed person working in the arts and so much more. Also at the end of today’s episode, after the conversation is over, I repeat the announcement about how Getting Better Acquainted going on a hiatus after episode 350.

In GBA 346 we get better acquainted with Matt. I visit him at his new venture, Alt-Space, in Morcambe and we talk about how he washed up in this North West seaside town, how the lack of a comedy club in the town inspired him to create an arts venue, community centre and a fringe there, his own work which spans spoken word, theatre and comedy, and lots more.

This Getting Better Acquainted Extra is a talk I gave as part of the Maker Sessions at the London Podcast Festival 2018 at King’s Place. The title of the talk was: Passion Projects The blurb was: For better or worse, Dave Pickering has been working on passion projects since he can remember. In 2008, he wrote a drama series for a friend, which was nominated for a Sony Radio Award in 2009. He’s made podcasts in a variety of genres at the same time as working full time jobs and part time jobs, and for the last 4 years, around the paid freelance work that the passion projects have just about generated for him. His passion projects have won podcast awards, been recommended by the Guardian, Time Out and the Financial Times and have been featured on Radio 4, Radio 5 Live, Cbeebies Radio and Resonance FM. In this workshop, Dave will explore why you should follow your passions, why you should definitely not follow your passions, and how to find the perseverance to keep following your passions when no one else seems to be interested in them. http://www.davepickeringstoryteller.co.uk Thanks to Martin Zaltz Austwick and Zoe Jeyes for asking me to do it.

She also talks about how skills picked up performing in spoken word Edinburgh Fringe shows have helped with all this, her journey as a writer and novelist, her interest in stories about mermaids, and lots of other things.

In GBA 246 we get better acquainted with Lauren. We talk telling stories, cultivating awkward moments, living in the grey areas, the cracks in things, running away to join the circus band, calling yourself a comedian, attempting to make a living from making art, the poetics of failure and being excited among many other things. You also get to hear her singing a really lovely song.

In GBA 239 we get better acquainted with Njambi McGrath. She talks about how the sudden death of her father forced her to confront a past she'd left behind and begin a journey of discovery into personal and cultural history she knew little about. We talk about making comedy out of dark topics, the effects of colonialism on the continent of Africa (particularly on Kenya where Njambi is from) and how the west views and distorts the lives of people from African countries. Njambi will be previewing her new show in a double bill with my solo show at Stand Up Tragedy Presents on Feb 18th at the Dogstar Brixton: Stand Up Tragedy Presents on 18th Feb: http://www.facebook.com/events/1129825877029165/ Listen to a sneak preview of the preview in this episode of the Spark True Stories Live Podcast: https://www.acast.com/sparklondon/multiculturalminds-truestorieslive Njambi plugs: Her Blog: http://www.njambimcgrathcomedy.co.uk/#!blog/c1o4u Her website: http://www.njambimcgrath.co.uk Her Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/Njambi-McGrath-comedy-211852255541445/ Her Twitter: https://twitter.com/njambi1 Her Instagram: https://instagram.com/thehotafrican Look out for her book and her new show A Last Dance With My Father We mention: Spark London: http://stories.co.uk/ Stand Up Tragedy: http://www.standuptragedy.co.uk/ Pulp Fiction: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulp_Fiction Concentration Camps in Kenya: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_British_Detention_Camps_during_the_Mau_Mau_Uprising Gay Ugandan King: http://blogs.telegraph.co.uk/news/timstanley/100256386/it-was-homophobia-not-homosexuality-that-was-introduced-to-uganda-by-europeans/ Scott Lively: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scott_Lively King Leopold II: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leopold_II_of_Belgium Live Aid: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_Aid Comic Relief: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comic_Relief Bill and Melinda Gates: http://www.gatesfoundation.org/ Dr Leakey: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Leakey Nairobi Museum: http://www.museums.or.ke/content/blogcategory/11/17/ Idi Armin: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Idi_Amin Kampala: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kampala Mau Mau: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mau_Mau_Uprising Kikuyu: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kikuyu_people Maassi: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maasai_people World Bank: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Bank Margaret Thatcher: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Margaret_Thatcher Help more people get better acquainted.

In GBA 236 struggling against the background sound and a few other things I do my best to we get better acquainted with Darcie. In an increasingly noisy pub we talk about studying journalism, creativity, careers, feminism, fashion, the social media landscape and more.
