Podcasts about Sweet Home Alabama

This conversation with Nathan Lee Graham goes deeper than expected, mixing sharp humor with real insight into a career built on consistency, curiosity, and craft. He reflects on growing up between St. Louis and Los Angeles, navigating a childhood shaped by divorce, experimental schools, and parents who understood early on that the arts were his home. Nathan talks about discovering his calling in high school, the moment Marin Mazie encouraged him to move to New York, and how that one decision launched decades of steady work across stage and screen. Along the way he opens up about playing twins on Scrubs, aging in Hollywood, the discipline required to keep his instrument ready, and why he still sees himself first and foremost as a working actor rather than someone chasing fame. We also dive into the surprising path that led him to Zoolander the day after The Wild Party closed, the unique challenge and joy of creating memorable moments with only a handful of lines, and how he approaches every medium — stage, film, TV — with the same mindset and integrity. Nathan shares what it means to trust collaborators, what he's learning during previews of The Baker's Wife at Classic Stage Company, and why patience, perspective, and self-care have become essential to his life and artistry. It's a thoughtful, warm, and often funny look at a career defined not by one role, but by the sum of its parts and the relationships that shaped them. Nathan Lee Graham is a Grammy winner for Best Classical Album (Songs of Innocence and of Experience), a Los Angeles Drama Critics Circle Award recipient for The Wild Party, and a Drama League Award nominee for Wig Out. His stage work includes originating roles in The Wild Party and Priscilla, Queen of the Desert, with national tours of Hadestown and Show Boat. On screen, he is known for Zoolander, Zoolander 2, Sweet Home Alabama, Hitch, The Comeback, Scrubs, LA to Vegas, Mid-Century Modern, and more. He currently stars as Marquis in The Baker's Wife at Classic Stage Company. This episode is powered by WelcomeToTimesSquare.com, the billboard where you can be a star for a day.

103 horas. 690 kilómetros. Séptimo en la general y un nuevo récord de España. Oriol Antolí ha vuelto a cruzar el límite, el que él mismo había marcado hace unos meses en la Backyard Ultra Dead Cow Gully celebrada en Australia, cuando mejoró en nada menos que 13 vueltas su propio récord. Entonces decíamos que era un registro que tardaríamos mucho tiempo en ver mejorar por parte de un corredor de nuestras fronteras. Pero Oriol nos ha vuelto a sorprender y, solamente cinco meses después, lo ha mejorado. Y lo ha hecho en el mejor marco posible, el verdadero patio trasero de Lazarus Lake, el Campeonato del Mundo de Big Backyard Ultra. Oriol Antolí resumen en Sweet Home Alabama su participación, el día a día con los mejores del mundo, sus cambios en entrenamiento y estrategia para mejorar, las peculiaridades de Lazarus Lake y sus sensaciones en Tennessee.

So there's a young, handsome man who's suddenly all over our feeds. Some people say he's going to save America. Others say he's just a very good example of how charisma is the only thing that matters in a politician for the digital age. All we want to know about Zohran Mamdani is: What does he want from us? Also, Reese Witherspoon says the reason we're so bad at dating these days is because we're not watching rom-coms any more. Jessie, Amelia and Holly unpack some of the helpful dating tips they've got from rom-coms and ask: Were we really better at talking to each other in the Sweet Home Alabama era? And, 'smellmaxxing' and its unknowable limits. Now that your average 14-year-old boy has his own 'fragrance wardrobe' and we've all very much accepted that we stink, it was only a matter of time until there was a deodorant for everywhere, including 'down there'. But... do any of us remember what a human smells like any more? Support independent women's media What To Listen To Next: Listen to our latest episode: Uh Oh, Harry & Meghan.

Allá a comienzos de los 2000 las empresas deportivas se peleaban por tener de emblema a los grandes campeones. Ser un friki genético que además es capaz de currárselo era suficiente para ser admirado. Unos años más tarde, comenzaron a patrocinar a los “Youtubers”. Gente que, sin operar a un nivel top en lo atlético, tenía chispa y era capaz de conectar con el público. En definitiva, el atleticismo se sustituía por carisma. Ya en la última década hemos asistido a una evo/involución hacia un nuevo tipo de personaje. Ya no hace falta ser buen deportista. Tampoco tener carisma. Ni siquiera abrir la boca. Son los influencers de tercera generación. ¿Su mérito? Posar ligeros de ropa. Esta modalidad de soft-porn primero, ahora ya con algunas y algunos de sus protagonistas en plataformas como Only Fans, permite ganar millones de seguidores ávidos de carne y carentes de sinapsis neuronales, porque tras los likes llegan los patrocinios. Probablemente te escandalices al leer estas palabras, pero mira a tu alrededor: bien tú, bien tus amigos y conocidos, muchos con familia, seguís estas cuentas y regaláis ese me gusta, que todos sabemos que significa algo bien distinto a la admiración basada en méritos. Y mientras seguimos alimentando ese circo, el verdadero mérito, el sudor y la excelencia pasan de moda, condenados a desaparecer bajo el ruido de la mediocridad disfrazada de éxito… Sebastian Sitko analiza la pornificación del deporte extremo.

En los últimos cinco años la escalada indoor ha experimentado un crecimiento meteórico. La posibilidad de practicar bajo techo un deporte tan relacionado con la naturaleza como la escalada, la constante variación de la disposición de las presas en las paredes, que hacen que cada semana tengas objetivos diferentes, y la socialización con escaladoras y escaladores, han hecho desarrollar esta modalidad, incrementándose tanto el número de practicantes como el de rocódromos disponibles. Esta semana traemos a Sweet Home Alabama el auge de la escalada indoor hablando con tres de los rocódromos que colaboran con la marca aragonesa Trangoworld: The Factory Boulder en San Sebastián, La Nave en León y Bulderland en Zaragoza.

Los paisajes imponentes de las Barrancas del Cobre y el espíritu indomable de los Tarahumaras junto a las participacipones de los Raramuris en Leadville están en el imaginario colectivo del mundo del trailrunning como uno de los lugares y personajes míticos de nuestro deporte. La primera edición de la Chihuahua by UTMB rindió homenaje a las Barrancas y a sus protagonistas, a la vez que abrió la puerta a Mexico como referente mundial del trail running. Una experiencia inolvidable que nuestro compañero David Sánchez haro tuvo la oportunidad de vivir en primera persona y que comparte en Sweet Home Alabama.

Los Campeonatos del Mundo de Trail de Canfranc Pirineos 2025 ya son historia. La localidad aragonesa ha pasado el testigo a Ciudad del Cabo, los próximos organizadores. Cinco días en los que los ojos del trailrunning mundial miraron al Pirineo Aragonés, donde atletas de 85 países lucharon por las medallas y la gloria. Unos mundiales que repasamos en Sweet Home Alabama con el análisis a fondo, nuestra opinión de la participación española, la puntuación general de los campeonatos y entrevistas a los principales protagonistas del mundial: Frederic Tranchand, Manu Merillas, Sara Alonso, María Fuentes, Alain Santamaría, Jim Walmsley, Katie Schide, Manu Aguita, Joaquín López, Saga Rueda, Juan Gavasa y la representación sudafricana que recoge el testigo para 2027 entre otros.

¿Cómo es el proceso de creación de una prenda de alto rendimiento? ¿Qué fases tiene desde que alguien tiene una idea y se diseña en la pantalla del ordenador hasta que llega a las tiendas y a la montaña? Una faceta desconocida del mundo del trailrunning y la montaña que hoy traemos a Sweet Home Alabama con casos reales, los de la marca Trangoworld, que nos explican con todo detalle Marta Alvarez y Susana Borobia.

Hace algo más de una década, las pruebas por etapas comenzaron a crecer rápidamente en nuestro país. Carreras de tres, cinco o más días aparecían en el calendario, alumbrando un nuevo estilo de trailrunning e inflando una burbuja que, poco a poco, se desinfló. Era, es, una forma diferente de vivir el trail running, en la que el componente de aventura cobra especial protagonismo, como también lo hace la experiencia completa junto a otros corredores y corredoras. De aquellas pruebas por etapas quedan pocas y, de ellas, tres que gozan de un excelente estado de salud y que tienen un denominador común, su organización por parte de BiFree Sports: Costa Brava Stage Run, Pyrenees Stage Run y Brama Stage Run. Tomàs Llorens y Jordi Vissi pasan por Sweet Home Alabama para hablar de las pruebas por etapas, de su futuro, de si se están convirtiendo en pruebas de culto que tienden a desaparecer y del secreto del éxito de BiFree.

La Petite Trotte à Léon (PTL) es una de las pruebas más exigentes del ultratrail. Rodear el Mont Blanc, en un recorrido de 304 km y un desnivel positivo acumulado de 25,000 metros hacen de la PTL un objetivo único. La combinación de distancia, desnivel, navegación gps, condiciones meteorológicas extremas y la necesidad de llevar todo el material obligatorio durante la carrera hace que esta prueba sea única en su tipo, más todavía porque se hace en equipos, formados por dos o tres integrantes. El compromiso mental, el espíritu de equipo, la aventura y los valores de la montaña son fundamentales para completar la gran vuelta alrededor del Mont-Blanc. Nuestro compañero Antonio Codina, finisher en la PTL formando parte de los Geordie Joggers, resume su experiencia en Sweet Home Alabama. "Comparado con la PTL, el Tor des Géants son unas vacaciones en pensión completa".

Calllllll-i-forrrrr-nia... here we come? If you've changed your plans to visit the US recently, you're not alone. Nowadays, Canadians are more likely to be singing along to "Bobcaygeon" than "Sweet Home Alabama." Today, we're sitting down with Jane Lin, of the Tourism Statistics Program at Statistics Canada, to dig into StatCan's tourism data and talk about how travel is different these days.Travel and Tourism Statistics

If you're a romance reader, you won't be surprised to hear that romance is the biggest genre in publishing. Nearly 40 million romance novels were sold in 2024. Books range from flirty (fade to black) to downright steamy (open door), with myriads of subgenres and tropes to choose from. (Rom-com! Paranormal romance! Historical fiction!)So this week, Big Books and Bold Ideas host Kerri Miller sits down with three Minnesota romance experts to talk about romance writing and reading today. She brings some quizlets and challenges, and each author shares an excerpt of a romance novel that has stuck with them. Big Books and Bold Ideas Romance Roundtable Along the way, they discuss the rules of romance (happy endings are nonnegotiable), what differentiates a love story from a romance novel and how the industry is starting to adapt to the diversity readers want.They also recommend romance novels that have maybe slipped through the cracks but deserve attention. For Richards, that was the book she chose to feature in her excerpt: the historical queer romance “A Shore Thing” by Joanna Lowell. She also recommended anything by writer Cat Sebastian, particularly “It Takes Two to Tumble.” Tschida said readers should check out the wit and charm inherent in any Nikki Payne novel, who is best know for her rewrites of Jane Austen. “Start with ‘Pride and Protest,'” Tschida recommended, “and then move on to ‘Sex, Lies and Sensibility.'” She also prescribed Carly Bloom, who writes books broader than the cowboy romance genre she is often stuck in. Palmer said she'll “never stop talking” about Naina Kumar. Her most recent book, “Flirting with Disaster,” is similar to the movie “Sweet Home Alabama” — but in this case, a hurricane traps a couple headed toward divorce in the home they built together when their love was young. Guests: Ellie Palmer is the author of “Four Weekends and a Funeral” and the just published “Anywhere With You,” which is set in the north woods of Minnesota. Sam Tschida's newest romance novel follows a vampire determined to get her own Hallmark movie ending. “Undead and Unwed” comes out in in late October. Sam's past books include “Siri, Who Am I?” and “Errands and Espionage.” Lauren Richards is the co-owner of Tropes & Trifles, Minnesota's first romance-only bookstore.

102 vueltas, equivalentes a 684 kilómetros, récord de españa, más de cuatro días compitiendo y la entrada en el selecto club de las 100 yardas, el de aquellos que han completado 100 vueltas o más en una Backyard Ultra. Ese es el gran resultado de la participación de Oriol Antolí en la Backyard Ultra Dead Cow Gully celebrada en Australia. El catalán mejoró en nada menos que 13 vueltas su propio récord, marcando un registro que veremos mucho tiempo en mejorar dentro de nuestras fronteras. Oriol Antolí resume en Sweet Home Alabama su participación en la Dead Cow Gully, su evolución del formato Backyard y sus próximos objetivos.

La Western States 100 del próximo fin de semana es una de las ediciones más esperadas de los últimos años. El regreso de Kilian Jornet a los senderos californianos ha puesto los focos, más si cabe todavía, en el ultratrail más mítico del mundo. Una prueba masculina en la que Kilian aparece como gran favorito, aunque quizás no tanto como puede parecer en Europa, y tremendamente abierta en categoría femenina, que analizamos en un Sweet Home Alabama especial, en el que también te desvelamos todas las claves de la retransmisión de Aragón Radio en la que podrías seguir, desde la 1:00 hasta las 6:00 del domingo 29, la Western States 100 2025.

Tras 2d18h55m de carrera, Manu Vilaseca cruzaba la meta de la Tahoe 200. La corredora de Mount to Coast completaba así la primera de las tres pruebas de 200 millas que afrontará en los próximos meses, que forman la Triple Crown.

Gerard Morales comparte en Sweet Home Alabama cómo ha vivido esos casi tres días de competición y de qué manera se sigue, en la distancia, una participación de este calibre.

We are wrapping up Big Fish/Small Pond month with Sweet Home Alabama – a movie that could've been charming if it wasn't for the overarching hugely problematic parts – we get into it (as much as two white girls from Canada can) in the episode – plus some swooning and appropriate Melanie Lynskey love.

I've followed Ethan Embry on Twitter/X (he's on Bluesky now) for years now, and have always been fascinated with how well-versed he is on political and social issues. Today, I finally got to sit down with the Atlanta-based California transplant best known for his acting in cult favorites like 'Empire Records,' 'That Thing You Do,' 'Can't Hardly Wait,' 'Sweet Home Alabama,' and notable most recently as 'Coyote' in the Netflix series 'Grace & Frankie.'We hung for more than an hour and hardly even got to talk about his acting, outside of a project he's wrapping up on now. Next time, I promise (and he promised we'd do it again). Today we talked 'toxic masculinity,' how he found his voice on social media, his concerns with India & Pakistan flirting with nuclear war, the failures of the Biden media team, plus what he's doing between gigs to keep his hands and mind occupied.

When I'm not writing, I'm watching hockey and talking smack online, listening to country music, or taking photos with any camera I can find. I am not a Gemini vegetarian, but I am a fan of all things Reese Witherspoon, and I can quote Sweet Home Alabama by heart.Author Website: http://www.olivespencer.comAuthor Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/ospencersmutInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/ospencersmut/Threads: https://www.threads.net/@ospencersmutX/Twitter: https://x.com/misskmagpie**From Pen Names to Steamy Stories: A Journey into Erotic Romance Writing**Step into the sultry world of erotic romance as author Olive Spencer shares her fascinating journey from writing under her real name to embracing a pen name for exploring spicier themes.

Los nuevos organizadores del Marathon des Sables han conseguido en sólo dos años lo que parecía imposible: enterrar en las arenas del Sahara el legado de Patrick Bauer y que la prueba pase desapercibida. El MDS, un icono del ultratrail y sinónimo de lo que significaba la aventura en estado puro ha pasado a ser una carrera más, sin repercusión mendiática, en la que corredoras y corredores han dejado de ser lo más importante y en la que prima el aspecto económico sobre todo lo demás. Una deriva y una decadencia que analizamos con Olivier Sepulchre.

Lynyrd Skynyrd was a success with their debut album, and continued to build a fan base when they opened for The Who on their Quadrophenia tour.  Many of the songs on their debut album were staples of their concerts in Jacksonville, Florida, where they had built their style over the years since the 60's.  Therefore it was not a sure thing that they would be able to sustain their success over time.  Those concerns were put to rest when they released their second album.Second Helping, a southern colloquialism for getting more of the same thing at the dinner table, cemented Lynyrd Skynyrd as the flag bearer for the Southern Rock genre.  At a time when a number of British artists - most notably the Rolling Stones - were digging into the rock and blues music of the American South, Lynyrd Skynyrd was the real thing.  They rode the power of their triple guitar set and the wit of Ronnie Van Zandt's lyrics to a commercial success, with the album going to number 12 on the Billboard 200 chart and certified as gold by September 1974.  While contemporary critics were more lukewarm, those reviews have been revised way upward over time.  Second Helping also contains the biggest hit of the group as well, the Southern anthem "Sweet Home Alabama."Lynyrd Skynyrd would go on to produce many more hit songs and records in the southern rock genre before tragedy took front man Ronnie Van Zant, Steve Gaines, and backup singer Cassie Gaines in October 1977.  But Second Helping is the album that solidified their standing as an internationally successful band.Wayne takes us through this album for this week's podcast, and Brian Dickhute joins us in Bruce's absence. The Needle and the SpoonThis song would not be the only anti-drug track in the Skynyrd discography.  The lyrics describe a man coming out of rehab, and makes use of a wah wah pedal effect that was not common to most of Skynyrd's music, but fit with the heroin subject of the song.  Swamp MusicAlthough not released as a single, this song got plenty of air play on FM radio, as did most of the tracks on this album.  This fast -paced track describes life in the Florida swamps.  The members of Lynyrd Skynyrd were well acquainted with outdoor life, fishing for catfish, hunting, and other "redneck" activities.Sweet Home AlabamaEveryone knows this anthem of Southern rock.  This song was written in response to Neil Young's "Southern Man," in which the band felt like the entire Southern United States was blamed for slavery.  Between the hook of the leading riff and the catchy lyrics, this song has become a staple of classic rock. This is Skynyrd's only top 10 hit, as it went to number 8 on the US charts.  Interestingly, none of the band members are from Alabama.Don't Ask Me No QuestionsGary Rossington and Ronnie Van Zandt wrote this song during a fishing trip.  Many think this is about a relationship, but it was a message to the record managers who were apathetic towards the band during the early days, but who turned demanding after they were a success.   ENTERTAINMENT TRACK: Main theme from the television series, "Gomer Pyle, U.S.M.C."In this sitcom spin-off from "The Andy Griffith Show," Jim Nabors plays the lovable but naive Gomer Pyle, now enlisted into the Marine Corp.  Frank Sutton, who played Sergent Carter in this series, passed away in June 1974. STAFF PICKS:Help Me by Joni MitchellRob starts the staff picks with a single from Mitchell's sixth studio album, "Court and Spark."  This track is Mitchell's biggest single, and her only song to crack the top 10 in the US, going to  number 7 on the Billboard Hot 100.  The lyrics describe a singer who knows she is falling for the wrong man, but is either powerless to stop it or doesn't want to call things off.Dancing Machine by the Jackson 5Brian brings us a song that hit number 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 after a multi-year dry spell.  The Jackson 5 appeared on "Soul Train" performing this song, and Michael Jackson introduced the world to "the robot" dance routine.  The Jackson 5 had a Saturday morning cartoon which kept the group in the public conscious.Waterloo by ABBALynch features the song that made ABBA a household name when the Swedish group won the 1974 Eurovision Song contest singing this tune.  The lyrics compare falling in love to Napoleon's defeat at Waterloo.  The name "ABBA" comes from the first letter of each of the singers' names.Tell Me Something Good by RufusWayne presents a funky song from a group featuring Chaka Kahn as lead vocalist.  Rufus is a one-hit wonder, with this song peaking at number 3 on the Billboard Hot 100.  Stevie Wonder wrote this song about a woman looking for a deeper relationship, not just a one night stand.  It was the first hit song that utilized the vocoder.  INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:Dance with the Devil by Cozy PowellWe close out with a drum instrumental based on Jimi Hendrix' "Third Stone from the Sun."  Thanks for listening to “What the Riff?!?” NOTE: To adjust the loudness of the music or voices, you may adjust the balance on your device.
