Podcasts about Steve Tesich

Bilginin korkunç bir hızda aktığı zamanlardayız. Teknoloji ve sosyal medyanın gelişimi sayesinde bilgiye ulaşmak, hiç bu kadar kolay olmamıştı. Fakat iletişimin bu kadar kolay olmasının bazı olumsuz etkileri de var elbette. Örneğin post-truth, yani gerçek ötesi kavramı... Artık bir bilginin doğru veya yanlış olduğunu anlamak eskisi kadar kolay değil. Hatta yalan olduğunu içten içe bildiğimiz bazı bilgileri büyütebiliyor, o duvara bir tuğla da biz koyabiliyoruz. 111 Hz'in bu bölümünde post-truth çağında doğru bilgiye nasıl ulaşabileceğimiz üzerine düşünüyoruz. Yalan haberlere ya da bilgilere neden inandığımızı ve bunlara karşı nasıl önlemler alabileceğimizi araştırıyoruz.Sunan: Barış ÖzcanHazırlayan: Özgür YılgürSes Tasarım ve Kurgu: Metin BozkurtYapımcı: Podbee Media------- Podbee Sunar -------Bu podcast, getirfinans hakkında reklam içerir.getirfinans iyi faizi vade beklemeden günlük kazandırır.

Kevin Costner, bike racer? Yep. American Flyers was released 39 years ago this week, and Costner would go on to make some of the best sports films of all time, including Bull Durham, Field of Dreams, and Tin Cup. So how well does this bike film hold up? How does it compare to the other bike film written by Steve Tesich, Breaking Away? Jonathan and Simon discuss — and also come up with might be their best idea ever for a prequel.RELATED LINKS: BLISTER+ Get Yourself CoveredCHECK OUT OUR OTHER PODCASTS:Blister PodcastBikes & Big IdeasGEAR:30CRAFTEDOff The CouchTOPICS & TIMES:Another Bike Film (4:19)The Actors, Players, & Ferris' Sister (9:11)Most Rewatchable Scenes (12:11)What's Aged the Best?

For the final week of our Spectator Sports month, we discuss Peter Yates's Breaking Away, which combines a sweet and funny coming-of-age comedy, a class-struggle drama, and a fantastic underdog sports film. We discuss the real-life origins of Steve Tesich's Oscar-winning screenplay, the film debut of character actor Daniel Stern and his niche as the lovable loser, the family chemistry of Barbara Barrie, Paul Dooley, and Dennis Christopher, Dennis Quaid's bitter and heartbreaking former quarterback Mike, Jackie Earle Haley's amazing maturity (even as the youngest cast member), and the many other qualities that make this film one of the greatest feel-good movies of all time. Hop on your bike and give us a listen!

King of Hearts Podcasting — The evolution of the musical is upon us.It's time for new works. Scattershot Symphony will now evolve from the past, to the present and into the future. Theater Of The Imagination. It's inevitable. So here we are at the cutting edge of 21st century musicals – the musical podcast.It's Radio Re-Imagined … only better. Today we offer a PRELISTEN, to songs from a new musical written by Peter Link, Steve Tesich and Jacob Brackman.. This episode is entitled“Theater Of The Imagination - Part 3”The Musical … King Of HeartsA Broadway Musicaland eventually,A Podcast MusicalWe'll take you back to the 60s when the movie, King Of Hearts ran for 6 years every Saturday night in Harvard Square during the Cold War. Then to the 70s when King Of Hearts, the musical, opened on Broadway after the end of the Viet Nam war and finally to the last day of World War I when King Of Hearts took place. This whimsical anti-war story, sadly, seems to never lose its timeliness and power. Join Peter Link and his merry band of lunatics!

Quem não olhou para o céu e apreciou as nuvens? Em um dia de domingo, deitado em um gramado, acompanhado ou não. Ficou observando o movimento delas e identificando formas, apontando e dizendo: - Olha! Aquela parece um cachorro, aquela outra um carro, já aquela um navio e a mais à frente um cavalo. Depois disso, riu sozinho, interna ou externamente, e refletiu: - Nuvens são nuvens, mera coincidência. Nós estamos vendo nelas o que não existe. Um olhar humano determinando na realidade aparente e forja na simplicidade do acaso uma falsa imagem. Quando criança já fiz muito isso. Porém, não vejo outra forma de explicar o que algumas pessoas fazem nas redes sociais diante dos fatos, lógica infantil e olhar nas nuvens. Elas estão forçando a ver o que não existe e justificar um absurdo. Leem, onde não há nada, alguma coisa. Expressam como alucinados uma possibilidade absurda. Uma bandeira a meio mastro por causa do falecimento do Rei do Futebol, Pelé, é vista como um sinal de que as forças armadas estão dando um golpe. O ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro grava um vídeo e enquanto fala bate com o dedo na mesa, seria um código morse, uma mensagem oculta. Blindados se deslocando de um quartel para outro são tropas do exército se preparando para tomar o poder. Isto é uma doença mental coletiva. Estamos diante do que muitos teóricos chamam de “pós-verdade”. O termo teria surgido por definição do dramaturgo sérvio e erradicado nos Estados Unidos, Steve Tesich. Hoje, faz parte até do dicionário. É negar os fatos e criar uma verdade fundada somente no desejo, na emoção de que seja o que não é. Logo, acredito que crianças deitadas na grama e olhando as nuvens, dando a elas as formas que desejavam, estavam mais próximas da realidade do que os alucinados adultos da atualidade. Esta perda de senso em relação a realidade gera conflitos e propaga violência sem uma proposta ou debate lógico. Isto é algo perigoso em uma democracia. Não podemos compactuar com isso. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/gilson-aguiar/message

“The difference between stage and screen acting is vast, but it's the same root. It's just some of the techniques are very different. I really know theater because that's where I started. I went at it in a very haphazard way. I had a very haphazard approach. It was not orderly at all. I didn't go to a proper school or anything like that. After fooling around in Europe for almost a couple of years, just because I'd gotten out of the army...and didn't really know what to do or how to do it. And so I just went and while there I did some acting, but nothing very remarkable except doing a nightclub with William Burroughs. That was great fun. I did a little bit of studying here or there...Jeff Corey (and at one class in New York) someone said something that helped me a great deal.

Karoo (1998), a posthumously-published cult novel by screenwriter and playwright Steve Tesich is the subject of this episode of Backlisted. Joining John and Andy to analyse this dark and hilarious tale of a Hollywood script doctor's apocalyptic decline and fall are journalist and podcaster Sali Hughes and novelist John Niven (who previously guested on Backlisted ep. 09 discussing Martin Amis's The Information). Also in this episode, John enjoys This Sporting Life: Sport and Liberty in England, 1760-1960 by Robert Colls, a social history of the English and their relationship to sport. Andy, meanwhile, has been reading Unquiet Landscape, Christopher Neve's recently-republished study of the English imagination in 20th-century landscape painting.

Oscar-winning screenwriter Steve Tesich and Saturday Night Fever director John Badham teamed up with a wonderful cast including David Marshall Grant, Kevin Costner, Rae Dawn Chong, and Alexandra Paul to create 1985's absolutely delightful American Flyers. We discuss the film's inclusiveness, its western motifs, and the inspirational sports movie genre. (recorded December 10, 2020)

Today we are covering Speed of Darkness by Steve Tesich. A play about a Vietnam War vet who has yet to face his past until he's forced to when his estranged friend from the war comes into town. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/breaking-the-4th-wall-pod/message

O neologismo “pós-verdade”, criado pelo dramaturgo sérvio Steve Tesich, nada mais é do que um eufemismo para a palavra mentira. O que se chama de pós-verdade é uma técnica de manipulação massiva da opinião operada por meio de técnicas da publicidade. O objetivo pode ser vender um produto, insuflar uma ideologia e fazer um político crescer na opinião pública.

Die Schaulustigen haben das erste Mal ihr warmes Studio verlassen und sich eine Woche lang mit Mirkos in den Frankfurter Nieselregen gestellt: es war Buchmesse. Und zwischen Stehempfängen, Buchpremieren und unendlich vielen Häppchen haben die beiden sich genau die Bücher der Saison rausgegriffen, die sie glücklich gemacht haben oder die zumindest dringend verfilmt werden sollten. Außerdem kann man Passmann dabei zuhören, wie sie immer weiter ihre Stimme verliert. Das Sachbuch, das die Schaulustigen dieses Jahr beide gleichermaßen begeistert hat, ist die Basketball-Biografie "The Great Nowitzki" von Thomas Pletzinger. Pletzinger ist Nowitzki sieben Jahre lang quasi überall hin gefolgt. Dabei ist ein Buch entstanden, das alle lesen sollten, die in ihrem Leben schonmal in irgendetwas gut sein wollten. Die beiden haben Pletzinger für einen kurzen Schnack zwischen zwei Gläsern Sekt abgefangen, um ihm unter anderem die Frage zu stellen, was er von der Nowitzki-Doku "Der große Wurf" auf Netflix hält und wieso er weiß, dass die beste Szene es gar nicht in den Film geschafft hat. Leicht angetoucht vom Abend treffen sich Passmann und Kalle wieder am nächsten Messetag, um über das große Thema der Literaturbranche zu sprechen: Der Literaturnobelpreis für Peter Handke. Die Schaulustigen interessieren sich vor allem für die Frage, wie die Causa Handke verfilmt werden sollte. Wer spielt Handke? Wer spielt Denis Scheck? Wer führt Regie? Wer spielt die Wälder, in denen Handke spazieren geht? Und weil man sich nicht immer nur am aktuellen Buchprogramm entlang hangeln kann, werden noch zwei Bücher vorgestellt, die bisher nicht verfilmt wurden, es aber dringend sollten. "Ein letzter Sommer" von Steve Tesich und "how to be famous" von Caitlin Moran. Ach, und die Aufzeichnung des Literarischen Quartetts war eigentlich auch noch, aber dafür hatten die beiden nach vier Tagen Buchmesse emotional und körperlich "leider" keine Lust.

(August 17, 2019) If the decades seem to have zipped by with the speed of a competitive cyclist, brace yourselves: The movie Breaking Away, filmed in and around Bloomington, opened in theaters across the country 40 years ago this summer. The film became an unexpected hit in 1979 and won an Academy Award for its screenwriter, Indiana University graduate Steve Tesich, who drew inspiration from his fraternity's victory in the Little 500 bicycle race. He based the film's central character on his fraternity brother Dave Blase, a zoology major and avid cyclist at IU in the early 1960s who used to sing Italian arias as he rode over the hills of Monroe County. Now 79 years old, Dave Blase is retired after a long career as a biology teacher, including 39 years on the faculty of Arlington High School in Indianapolis. Dave Blase is Nelson's studio guest and shares insights about his early life (he grew up in Speedway), the impact of Breaking Away (in which the aria-singing protagonist is named Dave Stoller), and how his life has unfolded during the 40 years since the release of the movie. "Dave had this fanatical attachment to the sport," Tesich recalled in an interview with Nelson, our host, a few years before the screenwriter's death in 1996. "It was almost a romantic involvement." The Phi Kappa Psi brothers won the Little 500 in 1962, with Dave Blase as the undeniable star of the team. Several factors influenced his fondness for all things Italian, including the fact that he had spent a semester working as a researcher at a campus medical center with Italian doctors. It also didn't hurt that cyclists from Italy had dominated the competition at the 1960 Rome Olympics. In Breaking Away, the "townie" characters on the scrappy Little 500 team hail from working-class families who cut limestone in the quarries near Bloomington. The team members, who call themselves "Cutters," feud with preppy IU students, competing not only in the Little 500, but also for the attention of sorority members. In interviews over the years, Dave Blase has said that during his boyhood in Speedway, he had minimal interest in sports, including cycling. That changed at IU, culminating in his spectacular performance in the Little 500 in 1962, in which he rode 139 of the 200 laps and set campus records. With only a $2.4 million budget - modest even for the time - Breaking Away was filmed in Bloomington and elsewhere in Monroe County during the summer and fall of 1978, then released the next year. Steve Tesich, the screenwriter, was born in 1942 in what was then Yugoslavia. At age 14, he immigrated with his family to East Chicago, Ind. After winning the Oscar for Breaking Away, Tesich wrote the screenplay for Four Friends (1981), an autobiographical movie about an Eastern European immigrant who comes of age in northwestern Indiana. "I had heard from my frat brothers about a freshman who showed up on campus with a 10-speed bicycle, which was unusual in those days," Dave Blase told Nelson several years ago, referring to his initial meeting on campus with Tesich in the fall of 1961. Breaking Away, though, is set in the late 1970s. The film, in which Dennis Christopher played the Dave Stoller character, was such a success that it inspired a short-lived TV series starring teen idol Shaun Cassidy in the role. By then, Dave Blase was teaching at Arlington High School. Although he had continued to race competitively after he graduated from IU and through his 20s, he found that the occasional prize money he won was not enough to support a family. He had met his wife Yolande, who is Dutch, during a bicycling excursion through Europe.  The two now live on the northeast side of Indianapolis and are the parents of two grown children.

He based the film's central character on his fraternity brother Dave Blase, a zoology major and avid cyclist at IU in the early 1960s who used to sing Italian arias as he rode over the hills of Monroe County. Now 79 years old, Dave Blase is retired after a long career as a biology teacher, including 39 years on the faculty of Arlington High School in Indianapolis. Dave Blase is Nelson's studio guest and shares insights about his early life (he grew up in Speedway), the impact of Breaking Away (in which the aria-singing protagonist is named Dave Stoller), and how his life has unfolded during the 40 years since the release of the movie. "Dave had this fanatical attachment to the sport," Tesich recalled in an interview with Nelson, our host, a few years before the screenwriter's death in 1996. "It was almost a romantic involvement." The Phi Kappa Psi brothers won the Little 500 in 1962, with Dave Blase as the undeniable star of the team. Several factors influenced his fondness for all things Italian, including the fact that he had spent a semester working as a researcher at a campus medical center with Italian doctors. It also didn't hurt that cyclists from Italy had dominated the competition at the 1960 Rome Olympics. In Breaking Away, the "townie" characters on the scrappy Little 500 team hail from working-class families who cut limestone in the quarries near Bloomington. The team members, who call themselves "Cutters," feud with preppy IU students, competing not only in the Little 500, but also for the attention of sorority members. In interviews over the years, Dave Blase has said that during his boyhood in Speedway, he had minimal interest in sports, including cycling. That changed at IU, culminating in his spectacular performance in the Little 500 in 1962, in which he rode 139 of the 200 laps and set campus records. With only a $2.4 million budget - modest even for the time - Breaking Away was filmed in Bloomington and elsewhere in Monroe County during the summer and fall of 1978, then released the next year. Steve Tesich, the screenwriter, was born in 1942 in what was then Yugoslavia. At age 14, he immigrated with his family to East Chicago, Ind. After winning the Oscar forBreaking Away, Tesich wrote the screenplay for Four Friends (1981), an autobiographical movie about an Eastern European immigrant who comes of age in northwestern Indiana. "I had heard from my frat brothers about a freshman who showed up on campus with a 10-speed bicycle, which was unusual in those days," Dave Blase told Nelson several years ago, referring to his initial meeting on campus with Tesich in the fall of 1961. Breaking Away, though, is set in the late 1970s. The film, in which Dennis Christopher played the Dave Stoller character, was such a success that it inspired a short-lived TV series starring teen idol Shaun Cassidy in the role. By then, Dave Blase was teaching at Arlington High School. Although he had continued to race competitively after he graduated from IU and through his 20s, he found that the occasional prize money he won was not enough to support a family. He had met his wife Yolande, who is Dutch, during a bicycling excursion through Europe.  The two now live on the northeast side of Indianapolis and are the parents of two grown children.

Welcome back to Double Feature, the IDS film podcast where the powers that be let us in a podcast booth to give you hot takes and maybe some lukewarm ones, too. A darty playing music too loudly, alumni coming back to town in hordes, townies preparing for likely inevitable mayhem. It is undeniably Little 500 season in Bloomington. Called “The World’s Greatest College Weekend,” Little 500 is an IU tradition so important to the local culture, it even has its own movie. “Breaking Away,” released in 1979 and written by IU alumnus Steve Tesich, tells the story of a group of 19-year-old Bloomington residents and the divide between IU students and those living in the town, centered on the Little 500 race itself. This week hosts Annie Aguiar and Chris Forrester watched “Breaking Away” for the first time, and thankfully they both loved it. In this episode, they discuss the movie and how weird it is to watch a movie filmed where you walk to class every day.

It took British director Peter Yates and Yugoslavian screenwriter Steve Tesich, born Stojan Tešić, to tell the quintessential American coming of age story Breaking Away from 1979.  The film was set and shot in Bloomington, Indiana where Tesich's family emigrated to when he was a teenager and tells a story based on a bicyclist Tesich befriended during his time racing for Indiana University.  For his efforts, the screenwriter  received the Academy Award for Best Screenplay and the Golden Globe for Best Film (Comedy or Musical). Dan and Vicky take a look at this seminal sports film from the 70's and discuss how the nostalgic glow it casts put them in a good mood.  Not so good is the tumble Vicky took after seeing Dan's show -- you'll hear all about it -- and the cranky audience reaction to The Walking Dead finale -- Dan and Vicky give us their two cents.   They also read their FIRST viewer letter (!), talk about the movies and TV shows they've been watching lately (including 1983's The Entity and the The Nightmare on Elm Street doc Never Sleep Again), and boogie to some classic disco. Come along for the ride with Vicky and Dan on Hot Date #26.

One of "God of Carnage"'s current combatants on Broadway, Christine Lahti, talks about playing the range of emotions that consume her character over the course of the play's mere 80 minutes, and how the new ensemble developed the rapport for such a physical and intimate work. She also discusses her college years, including the dual lures of social activism and theatre performance; her experience understudying Madeline Kahn and Sigourney Weaver in the premiere of John Guare's "Marco Polo Sings a Solo"; her early Broadway work in plays by Michael Weller and Steve Tesich; being directed by and co-starring with the legendary George C. Scott in "Present Laughter", along with Broadway newbies Nathan Lane and Kate Burton; how studying with another iconic figure, Uta Hagen, taught her how to be "director-proof"; her multiple appearances in Jon Robin Baitz's monologue-driven "Three Hotels"; and her great affinity for the work of Wendy Wasserstein, evidenced by her performances in "The Heidi Chronicles" (on Broadway), "Third" (at the Geffen Playhouse) and "An American Daughter" (for television). Original air date - February 10, 2010.
