EPISODE 131: Philadelphia native Tim Johnson Jr. has established himself as a dynamic singer, songwriter, producer, multi-instrumentalist, and actor. At just 10 years old, Johnson's talents led him and his family to Las Vegas, where he landed the coveted role of Young Simba in Disney's The Lion King. His acting career continued to flourish with roles in Everybody Still Hates Chris (Paramount), Saturdays (Disney), Ballers (HBO), Meet the Blacks 2, Fist Fight (Lionsgate), FBI (CBS), and critically acclaimed films such as We Were Meant To (Sundance 2023) and Pens and Pencils (2023 NAACP Image Award nominee). His commercial credits include major brands like Nike, Apple, Verizon, Baskin Robbins, and Sprite. In 2018, Johnson captivated audiences as a semi-finalist on FOX's The Four: Battle for Stardom, reaching millions worldwide. Since then, he has continued to carve his own path in the music industry, independently releasing singles, EPs, and two albums, all written and produced alongside his father. His signature blend of R&B, pop, and soul resonates deeply with his growing fan base, while his electrifying stage presence brings undeniable energy to every performance. instagram.com/cityboyjrContact us: makingsoundpodcast.comFollow on Instagram: @makingsoundpodcastFollow on Threads: @jannkloseJoin our Facebook GroupPlease support the show with a donation, thank you for listening!

“It felt like food was taken off my plate…Came into this third year with all these goals, the 50 point game was a confirmation that the work I did was showing up...So to go down with an injury was like a hit to the stomach- it was a reality check, like I'm not Superman.” Paolo Banchero In this episode of The Pivot Podcast, we sit down with Orlando Magic's All-Star forward, Paolo Banchero, to discuss his journey from a standout freshman at Duke to the No. 1 overall pick in the 2022 NBA Draft to battling adversity this past season dealing with serious injury and how he was able to lead his young team deep in first round of playoffs.  Coming off a historic 50-point performance this pass season, Paolo opens up about his experiences in the NBA, his time under Coach K at Duke, and the challenges and triumphs of his rookie season. He shares insights into his mindset during high-pressure moments, the evolution of his game, and his aspirations for the future. He talks about the strength of his family grounding him, growing up in Seattle with basketball idols becoming his mentors and the call from Michael Jordan that changed his outlook in life.  Paolo shares his takes on the current NBA playoff picture and how teams on the road win early games setting the tone for the upcoming conference series' which is what led teams like NY and Indiana to the point they are at now. He gives us the one key that separates teams at this stage of the playoffs.  Tap in now for our conversation with one of the league's brightest young talents as he continues to make his mark in basketball, on and off the court.

Susie went to a Micky Dolenz of the Monkees concert, and the next day a stranger stopped her at the grocery store to make a comment about something Susie did at the show. We learn why medical professionals and workers at senior facilities are being trained to stop using "elderspeak" with their patients. They say that the baby talk and cutesy language infantilizes older folks and causes greater resistance to care and more anti-psychotic prescriptions. We discuss the Carter family documentary and hear how the stardom of their sons Aaron and Nick contributed to strife, addiction, and death in the family. We talk about a man who intentionally injected himself with snake venom and willingly let snakes bite him hundreds of times with the hope of becoming immune to their poison, and somehow, someway, he actually did it. And he might end up being responsible for creating a universal anti-venom. We debate whether the Pulitzer prize-winning photo of the Vietnam War victim "Napalm Girl," who is running naked after being burned, should be allowed on social media or if it's pornographic.LIVE TRIVIA NIGHT: MAY 22nd 8PM - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/LiveListen to more podcasts like this: https://wavepodcastnetwork.comBCP Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastSusie's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterSarah's Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBCP on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodSponsors:For 20% off your order, head to https://www.harvesthosts.com and use code BRAINCANDY.Use code BRAINCANDY at https://cozyearth.com for 40% off best-selling sheets, pajamas, and more.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

The whole world knows Rick Springfield, the performer, songwriter, idol, rock star, actor, hitmaker....but the real Rick is an introspective deep thinker who has overcome wrenching personal and professional obstacles while remaining true to his purpose and authentic self. Rick joins us this week to talk about a remarkable career trajectory, a new album, a coffee table book and an upcoming national tour!Rick realized at an early age that he was destined to make art, setting off on a unique journey which began in the suburbs of Sydney, then took him to England during the early days of the legendary British rock scene, back to Australia where he launched his music career and then deep into Vietnam to perform for the troops during the height of the Southeast Asia conflict in the late '60s.Rick shares astonishing recollections of playing live in an active war zone, ducking for cover in the middle of a set, flying in an Apache helicopter and his nearly fatal encounter with a grenade. Rick was able to secure a record deal that brought him to America, but while his first single, Speak To The Sky, landed with a flash, he quickly fell into a personal and career rut that lasted 8 years.  Rick spent the disco era sticking true to his hook heavy power pop sound and eventually came up swinging with the instant classic Jessie's Girl, followed by 16 more top forty hits! Simultaneously, Rick's side hustle landed him on the soap that was addicting millions, General Hospital. Rick played Noah Drake who he describes as a better kisser than doctor.Rick's autobiography, Late, Late at Night is raw and honest about his struggles with bouts of deep depression. Therapy and medication have helped him and he's gratified that sharing his truth has been a beacon to others but he feels that music is the greatest comfort. That and possibly rum (use responsibly) Rick and Sammy Hagar have launched the Beach Bar Rum company.All of the above, plus a round of IMDB Roulette which takes Rick from Wonder Woman to Meryl Streep.

Popi debuted May 2, 1975 on CBS at 8/7pm Central. This sitcom pilot was based on the 1969 film Popi with Alan Arkin and Rita Moreno.  "Popi had a dream...and the only way he could make it come true was to put his two boys in a rowboat and set them adrift in the ocean." This podcast contains a short review of the Popi film, as well as a bit of behind-the-scenes information on its production.

For this new episode of the podcast, Chris and Alex try and do justice to the global stardom of perhaps the most famous animated character of them all - Mickey Mouse. They are joined by David McGowan, who is Lecturer in the Contextual and Theoretical Studies of Animation at the University of the Arts London, as well as author of Animated Personalities: Cartoon Characters and Stardom in American Theatrical Shorts (Austin: University of Texas Press, 2019), to explore Mickey's enduring celebrity both on and off the animated screen as well as contradictory elements to his stardom that supported his move from cartoon protagonist to animated icon. Listen as the trio discuss Mickey's shifting star persona and performance style across the three shorts The Karnival Kid (Walt Disney & Ub Iwerks, 1929), Mickey Steps Out (Burt Gillet, 1931), and Clock Cleaners (Ben Sharpsteen, 1937) to map the character in relation to several topics, including cartoon aesthetics and Disney animation's shift from plasmaticness to hyper-realist registers of representation; romance narratives and the extra-textual coupling of Mickey with Minnie Mouse; the cartoon's move away from self-reflexivity towards the rounding out of “personality animation”; Mickey's musicality and modernity, as well as the character's similarities to Felix the Cat and other animated celebrities of the period; and how Mickey's links to values of sincerity, intimacy, and humanity perfectly position him as the quintessential animated star. **Fantasy/Animation theme tune composed by Francisca Araujo** **As featured on Feedspot's 25 Best London Education Podcasts**

When family stories become show biz stories, the world listens. Fitting that very bill we've got actor Keith Coogan, the grandson of the original child star, Jackie Coogan, whose namesake law in the state of California, is the first to safeguard the rights of young performers in Hollywood. Keith talks about growing up with this legend plus his own iconic roles as a prolific film and TV child actor!Keith's career proves that show business blood runs thick: He told his mother he wanted to act before he even knew of his family legacy. His great grandfather, Jack Coogan Sr. was a Vaudeville and silent film star. His grandfather, Jackie Coogan was known, in the 1920s as, “the most famous boy in the world!” Keith began booking roles by the age of eight and quickly became a go-to casting choice, for TV guest spots and commercials starring Henry Fonda and Robert Morse.Keith's show biz success made his grandfather proud but a little jealous and relieved when Keith developed into a working actor rather than America's darling.Keith tells us about the legendary events, which led to The Coogan Act - After Jackie's father died in a car crash, the young superstar's hard earned fortune was squandered by his stepfather.Passed in 1939, The Coogan Law requires that a portion of a child's earnings be placed in a blocked trust account until the child turns 18.Keith recalls with great fondness his experiences working with stellar casts and crews on the “Babysitter” cult greats, 'Adventures in Babysitting', and Don't Tell Mom The Babysitter's Dead.

How does a research project turn into a global stage moment? Amanda Schneider, entrepreneur and thought leader, shares the surprising journey of how a viral Gen Z study propelled her to the TEDx Fargo stage—and what it really took to get there. In this candid conversation, Amanda reveals the behind-the-scenes highs and lows of preparing for TEDx, from wrestling with self-doubt to navigating a flood of feedback without losing her unique voice. She also unpacks why understanding Gen Z's "phygital" (physical + digital) fluidity is reshaping the workplace—and why most companies aren't ready. Along the way, we explore the power of soft skills, the hidden cost of risk-aversion in leadership, and the personal rituals that keep Amanda grounded as a high-performing leader and mother.

In this episode of Braving Business, we sit down with Ulf Ekberg, co-founder of the iconic Swedish pop group Ace of Base. Rising to global fame in the 1990s with hits like "All That She Wants" and "The Sign," the band sold over 50 million records worldwide, making them one of Sweden's most successful musical exports. Beyond the charts, Ulf's journey is one of transformation. From his early days immersed in Gothenburg's electronic music scene, inspired by bands like Kraftwerk, to co-founding Ace of Base, his passion for technology and music was evident. However, his past associations with extremist groups during his teenage years cast a shadow over his success. Ulf has publicly acknowledged and expressed deep regret for this period, emphasizing that those views are not reflective of who he is today. In recent years, Ulf has channeled his energies into technology and sustainability. He co-founded a music production and management company with Jonas Berggren and has been involved in sustainable impact investing, including serving as a governor for the Stoic Foundation. In this candid conversation, Ulf shares:The origins of Ace of Base and their unexpected rise to fameHis reflections on past mistakes and the journey to personal growthTransitioning from pop stardom to tech entrepreneurship and sustainability initiativesInsights into the music industry's evolution and the role of technologyKey Takeaways:Personal transformation is possible, even after public misstepsDiversifying one's career can lead to fulfilling second actsEmbracing technology and sustainability can drive meaningful changeConnect with Ulf Ekberg:Website: about.me/ulf.ekbergInstagram: @ulfbuddhaLinkedIn: Ulf EkbergContact Us: Visit www.bravingbusiness.com for more episodes and updates.Ulf's story is a testament to the complexities of personal growth, the power of reinvention, and the enduring impact of music and technology.

In 1927, the Hollywood stars (and spouses), Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks, Jr stood outside their California home, arms raised in fascist salute. The photo's caption, referencing the couple's trip to Rome the previous year, informs fans that the couple “greet guests at their beach camp in true Italian style.” How did “America's sweetheart” and her husband, a swashbuckler on and off screen, both patriots who had promoted Liberty bonds following the United States' entry into World War I, come to normalize something like Italian Fascism in its first decade? How did the Italian-born divo, or star, of Hollywood's silent cinema, Rudolph Valentino come to function as foil and counterpart to Benito Mussolini's, the duce, in public opinion in American culture in the 1920s? Winner of the 2019 award for best book in film/media from the American Association for Italian Studies, The Divo and the Duce: Promoting Film Stardom and the Political Leadership in 1920s America (University of California Press, 2019) tells the story of the relationship between celebrity culture, charismatic leadership and national sovereignty as it plays out on both sides of the Atlantic from roughly 1917 to the end of 1933. Giorgio Bertellini asks how two racially othered foreigners, Valentino and Mussolini, became leading figures in America and how these two icons of chauvinist Latin masculinity became public opinion leaders in a nation undergoing a major democratic expansion in terms of gender, equality, social mobility, and political representation. In the post-WWI American climate of nativism, isolationism, consumerism, and the democratic expansion of civic rights and women's suffrage, the divo and the duce became surprising paragons of both authoritarian male power as well as mass appeal. Bringing together star studies, screen studies, political science, Italian Studies, and American Studies Bertellini's study teaches us to think in new ways about cinema, political authority, masculinity, and race in Italian cinema and beyond. Meticulously archived, the author pays especial attention to the mediators between screens and the polity, a vast cast of players including journalists, photographers, ambassadors and other functionaries of state, advertisers, sponsors, and publicity agents, all of whom, on concert, work to promote the “ballyhoo” of the day. Thanks to the efforts of TOME (Toward an Open Monograph Ecosystem), a collaboration of the Association of American Universities, the Association of University Presses, and the Association of Research Libraries, The Divo and the Duce: Promoting Film Stardom and the Political Leadership in 1920s America is available free in an open access edition.   Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode of Holly Randall Unfiltered, we dive deep into the inspiring journey of Leilani Li, a trailblazing black trans woman in the adult industry. Leilani candidly shares her early experiences with survival sex work to her transition into mainstream porn, making history as the first black trans woman to win two prestigious AVN Awards.  But getting here wasn't easy—Leilani faced some frightening and dangerous situations in her early days. She openly reflects on her journey: from a manipulative young woman doing what she had to in order to survive, to the honest, confident, and hard-working woman she is today. And for those contemplating a career in sex work (in all it's forms), Leilani offers invaluable advice: highlighting the crucial priorities of safety, client screening, and mental health preservation. She opens up about how she deals with internet trolls, her advice for young trans women getting into porn, and how she stays grounded. She and Holly also debate the industry's progression towards embracing diversity and celebrating trans performers: is it enough?  Leilani's story is not only a testament to her resilience and success, but also an honest and eye opening revelation of how sex work can turn from something that one does simply for survival, to a viable career path that brings a true sense of purpose to one's life.  Patreon members get the VIP treatment: uncensored, ad-free, and a bonus Q&A!
