What happens when antitrust law meets high fashion? In this episode, experienced fashion and luxury industry counsel Andowah Newton, joins Jeny Maier and Puja Patel to unpack recent antitrust cases in the luxury and fashion industries. From the FTC's challenge to Tapestry's acquisition of Capri, to no-poach allegations involving Saks and major fashion houses, to tying claims against Hermès and its coveted Birkin bag, we explore how competition law is colliding with market definition, exclusivity, branding, and status. Listen in for insights on how antitrust enforcers—and the courts—are approaching consolidation, labor practices, and sales tactics in an industry where scarcity sells.

Paint the Night, World of Color – Happiness, and Tapestry of Happiness will continue to run throughout the season. Disney says “areas and attractions around the resort will retain special touches, including decorative accents and the colorful castle photo opportunity in the esplanade.” – https://disneyparksblog.com/dlr/2025-halloween-at-disneyland-oogie-boogie-bash-dates-and-more/ This Saturday, a few authors of Disneyland books will be at Wonderground for a book release and signing.

Walls are back up in this area to install more of these lamp posts. The new lights look like gas lamps, but use regular bulbs with a mesh over them to give a vintage look. – https://www.micechat.com/417417-disneyland-update-guest-injury-expansion-blues/ We talked about the neat Magic Band touch points around Disneyland in a previous episode, but there was still one location that had not come online yet. The last point in Tomorrowland, themed to Autopia is finally online. This one is a bit of a letdown as this one only makes car noises when activated. – https://www.micechat.com/417417-disneyland-update-guest-injury-expansion-blues/ An update that came to Epcot at Walt Disney World has made its way to DCA! Soarin' Around the World has been updated to fix the skewed Eiffel Tower in the attraction. – https://www.micechat.com/417417-disneyland-update-guest-injury-expansion-blues/ Over on Pixar Pier, the new Rex meet-and-greet is available.

Submission guidelines can be found at http://www.TallTaleTV.com   ---- About Tall Tale TV ---- Hi there! My name is Chris Herron and I'm an audiobook narrator. In 2015, I suffered from poor Type 1 diabetes control which lead me to become legally blind for almost a year. The doctors didn't give me much hope, predicting an 80% chance that I would never see again. But I refused to give up and changed my lifestyle drastically. Through sheer willpower (and an amazing eye surgeon) I beat the odds and regained my vision. During that difficult time, I couldn't read or write, which was devastating as they had always been a source of comfort for me since childhood. However, my wife took me to the local library where she read out the titles of audiobooks to me. I selected some of my favorite books, such as the Disc World series, Name of the Wind, Harry Potter, and more, and the audiobooks brought these stories to life in a way I had never experienced before. They helped me through the darkest period of my life and I fell in love with audiobooks. Once I regained my vision, I decided to pursue a career as an audiobook narrator instead of a writer. That's why I created Tall Tale TV, to support aspiring authors in the writing communities that I had grown to love before my ordeal. My goal was to help them promote their work by providing a promotional audio short story that showcases their writing skills to readers. They say the strongest form of advertising is word of mouth, so I offer a platform for readers to share these videos and help spread the word about these talented writers. Please consider sharing these stories with your friends and family to support these amazing authors.

Star Trek: The Next Generation, Series 6, Episode 15. First broadcast on Monday 15 February 1993. Stardate: Unknown (2369). When Q first turned up on the Enterprise bridge in 1987, he came to teach all of humanity a lesson about its terrible past. But this week his mission is more personal: to teach Picard how much he owes his young, undisciplined self, and to remind us that youth is silly and difficult, and that the people living through it deserve our respect. (On that topic, if you wish to see the inspiration for Joe's preferred 1990s hairstyle, you should check out the cover of Star Trek: The Next Generation — Boogeymen (1991) by Mel Gilden.)

We’re at the point where the weekend is visible, so Beth and Gary fired up the Internet software to talk about things.

There will be a test so you’ll need to know the differences between Opus anglicanum, Opus cyprense, and Opus romanum. We also talk about the America’s Tapestry project (americastapestry.com), Beth’s Quaker drum, and the “Quaker Samplers” book by Lesley Wilkins (Search Press). Buy it. You’ll be glad you own it.

Hello and welcome back to Spanish Loops! Today, we discover to you one of Madrid's best kept cultural treasures: The Royal Tapestry Factory (Real Fábrica de Tapices).Founded in 1721 under the reign of King Philip V, this iconic institution has stood the test of time for over 300 years. What began as a royal initiative to enrich Royal Palaces with exquisite tapestries, soon became a cornerstone of Spanishcraftsmanship and artistic excellence. Few people realize just how deeply rooted the factory is in the country's heritage, and how vibrantly alive is still today.One of the most fascinating chapters in its history involves the great Francisco de Goya, who created a series of tapestry cartoons in the late 18th century. These works, filled with everyday scenes of Spanish life at the time, were later transformed into large scale tapestries by master weavers. Goya's time at the factory not only influenced his artistic development but also contributed to the unique blend of art and utility that the factory represents.Today, the Royal Tapestry Factory continues to operate, specializing in the restoration of historical textiles and the creation of new, custom made pieces using traditional techniques. It's not just a museum, it's a living and working atelier that preserves centuries of knowledge. Guided tours offer a close look at the looms, artists, and intricate process behind each masterpiece.So, if you're visiting Madrid and looking for something truly authentic and off the beaten path, this hidden gem is a must see!Right here, on Spanish Loops!

One way the needlework world will celebrate America’s 250th anniversary is the America’s Tapestry project. This week we talk to Stefan Romero, creator and driving force behind the project. America’s Tapestry involves original art that tells mostly unknown stories about how people in the 13 colonies contributed to the Revolutionary War effort. The art will be stitched by local EGA Guilds and other groups of stitchers in the 13 states. In our conversation with Stefan, we learn how the project came to be, what’s involved in creating these pieces of needle art, and how stitchers from across the country can participate. At about the 50-min. mark, Stephan describes the 13 panels and the stories they tell. For audio listeners, there is a slide show of the 13 panels on the page for this podcast. This is a terrific project. If you want to help in any way, write to Stefan at americastapestry@gmail.com. As we approach the 250th anniversary, make plans to see the finished display.–Gary Listen to the podcast: This show is also available on FlossTube. Click here to view it.

Anyone new to Australia can appreciate how important it is to keep your mother tongue alive. Language is integral to your culture and Australia's Indigenous languages are no different, connecting people to land and ancestral knowledge. They reflect the diversity of Australia's First Nations peoples. More than 100 First Nations languages are currently spoken across Australia. Some are spoken by only a handful of people, and most are in danger of being lost forever. But many are being revitalised. In today's episode of Australia Explained we explore the diversity and reawakening of Australia's First languages. - Avustralya'ya yeni gelen herkes, ana dilini canlı tutmanın ne kadar önemli olduğunu takdir eder. Dil, kültürünüzün ayrılmaz bir parçası ve Avustralya'nın yerli dilleri de farklı değil. İnsanları toprağa ve atalarından gelen geleneksel birikime bağlar. Avustralya'nın İlk Uluslar halklarının çeşitliliğini yansıtırlar. Şu anda Avustralya'da 100'den fazla İlk Uluslar dili konuşulmakta. Bazıları sadece bir avuç insan tarafından konuşuluyor ve çoğu sonsuza dek kaybolma tehlikesiyle karşı karşıya. Ancak birçoğu yeniden canlandırılıyor. Merhaba Avustralya'nın bugünkü bölümünde, Avustralya'nın İlk dillerinin çeşitliliğini ve yeniden uyanışını keşfediyoruz.

When Tom Knisely decided to buy his first item in an antique shop, he had two strokes of luck: the spinning wheel that he chose included all the parts needed to make yarn, and he lived not far from the landmark weaving store The Mannings. There, he learned to spin and eventually to weave. Enamored with the crafts, he got a job at the store there as a teenager and eventually built a career there over 37 years. That love of antiques led Tom to accumulate a collection of historic coverlets and rag rugs, along with knowledge about the old techniques used to make such durable textiles. Students often turn to Tom to learn such traditional skills as rag-rug weaving, working with linen from plant to fabric, and weaving with counterbalance looms. Through these antique rugs and coverlets, he traces the legacy of the weavers before him—those who pursued a life in weaving centuries ago. His nine books and ten videos explore contemporary and historic techniques, structures, and tools. As much as his knowledge, Tom's patience, enthusiasm, and warmth draw students to his classes. Named Handwoven Teacher of the Year, he loves helping students—from children who watch his living history demonstrations to dedicated weavers—develop their skills and love of spinning and weaving. His longest-lasting teaching relationship has been with Sara C. Bixler, one of his daughters, who took up the mantle to become a weaving teacher and designer herself. “I think we have an obligation to get out there and promote what we do,” he says. “You'd be surprised how much it means to other people to see this. But I guarantee you, you'll come home with stories that are far greater than what you have put out. It's a real reward.” Links Read about bumper looms in “Never Say Never” (Little Looms Spring 2025 (https://shop.longthreadmedia.com/products/easy-weaving-with-little-looms-spring-2025)) and “Never Say Never Again” (Little Looms Summer 2025 (https://shop.longthreadmedia.com/products/easy-weaving-with-little-looms-summer-2025).

(1) The first article I'm reviewing appeared on insidermonkey.com. It's titled 11 Cheap ESG Stocks to Buy According to Hedge Funds by Rameen Kasana.

(2) The second article comes to us from the renowned Morningstar site. It's titled 2 Undervalued Automation Companies for Sustainable Investors. It's by Liz Angeles. Now, some quotes from her article. “The Morningstar Rating compares a stock's current price with Morningstar's estimate of its fair value, which is based on the present value of the company's future cash flow. A 4-star stock is undervalued, and a 5-star stock is significantly undervalued. 1) Sika Group (SKFOF) Established in 1910, Switzerland-based Sika produces specialty chemicals primarily used by the construction sector (85% of sales).

Analyst: William Kerwin, CFA Price/Fair Value: 0.75 Morningstar Rating: ★★★★ ESG Risk Rating Assessment: Negligible Sector: Technology” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Great Stock Picks in 18 New Articles! (3) This third article has a perspective that many investors concur with and posits it regarding Netflix. The title of the article is Possible Stock Split? This Stock Has Surged 284% Since 2023 -- Here's Why You Shouldn't Wait to Buy It. It's by Adam Levy of The Motley Fool and found on finance.yahoo.com. Here are a few brief quotes from Mr. Levy's article. “But enacting a stock split can be a very strong signal from management to investors. Management will usually initiate a stock split after a run-up in the price of the stock. When it announces a split, it's suggesting the current run-up in price is justified and that it expects the price to continue climbing. On the other hand, the confidence boost provided by a stock split will only go as far as the company's next earnings report or news item. If the fundamentals of the business are no good, or the stock has gotten ahead of itself, it doesn't make sense to buy it just because of a stock-split announcement. One stock I've had my eye on looks poised for a stock split this year. It's up 284% since the start of 2023, and investors have an opportunity to get in now, whether management announces a split in the near future or not. [That stock is] Netflix (Nasdaq: NFLX).” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- Great Stock Picks in 18 New Articles! (4) The fourth article I'm posting appeared recently on one of the finest sites I know. That is corporateknights.com. The article's title is Pandora's big bet on sustainability pays off. It's by Naomi Buck. Here are a few quotes from that article. “Pandora (PNDORA.CO) According to those who study consumer habits, millennials and Gen Zs are looking for two things when they go shopping: sustainability and individuality. One jewellery company is capturing hearts and wallets by offering both. Pandora, launched as a family-run jewellery shop in Copenhagen in 1982, has grown to become the world's largest jewellery maker, by pieces sold. And unlike much of its industry in recent years, Pandora's star is rising. As competitors like Tiffany and Signet see diminishing returns, Pandora ended 2024 with 31.7 billion krone (US$4.5 billion) in annual revenue, representing 13% organic growth… In 2019, following several years of declining sales, Pandora embarked on a new strategy: to expand its product line beyond the luxury charm bracelets for which it had become famous and go all in on sustainability. It established three new priorities: to decarbonize, push circularity and promote a more diverse corporate culture. While sustainability may be front of mind for younger buyers, [Pandora CEO Alexander] Lacik admits that the average jewellery shopper is looking primarily at design and price. But even if customers weren't clamouring for it, Pandora's sustainability push has proven a sound business decision; according to its 2024 annual report, the company has grown by 45% since 2019. No doubt, others in the industry are watching with interest.” End quotes. Also, see this New York Times article on Pandora How the World's Largest Jeweler Is Surviving the Trade War. It's by Eshe Nelson. ------------------------------------------------------------- Great Stock Picks in 18 New Articles! (5) This fifth article was also posted on corporateknights.com with the same author as the previous article, Naomi Buck. Its title is Italy's ERG proves you can trade oil for renewables and win. Again, here are a few quotes from the article. “ERG (ERG.MI) In 2008, the Italian oil company ERG faced a crossroads. Having sold its 49% stake in a Sicilian refinery to Russian oil giant Lukoil just before the markets crashed, it had cash to burn. And it had a fundamental choice to make… By 2013, ERG had become Italy's leading producer of wind energy. It now has installed capacity in the United Kingdom, Germany, France, Poland, Romania, Bulgaria and Sweden, making it one of the continent's top 10 wind companies. It also owns major solar installations in Italy, Spain, France and the United States.  ERG's wholesale transition from black to green took little over a decade, and with it the company redefined itself: no longer responding to Italy's demand for oil, it sees itself – in its own words – ‘inspiring change to power the future.'” End quotes. ------------------------------------------------------------- More articles of interest for ethical and sustainable investors from around the world 1.

Anyone new to Australia can appreciate how important it is to keep your mother tongue alive. Language is integral to your culture and Australia's Indigenous languages are no different, connecting people to land and ancestral knowledge. They reflect the diversity of Australia's First Nations peoples. More than 100 First Nations languages are currently spoken across Australia. Some are spoken by only a handful of people, and most are in danger of being lost forever. But many are being revitalised. In today's episode of Australia Explained we explore the diversity and reawakening of Australia's First languages. - Chiunque sia arrivato di recente in Australia può capire quanto sia importante mantenere viva la propria lingua madre. La lingua è parte integrante della propria cultura, e le lingue indigene australiane non sono diverse, poiché collegano le persone alla terra e alle conoscenze ancestrali e riflettono la diversità dei popoli delle Prime Nazioni australiane. Più di 100 lingue delle Prime Nazioni sono attualmente parlate in tutta l'Australia. Alcune sono parlate solo da una manciata di persone, e la maggior parte di esse rischiano di andare perdute per sempre. Ma molte si stanno rivitalizzando. Nella puntata odierna di "Australia Explained" esploriamo la diversità e il risveglio delle prime lingue australiane.

Anyone new to Australia can appreciate how important it is to keep your mother tongue alive. Language is integral to your culture and Australia's Indigenous languages are no different, connecting people to land and ancestral knowledge. They reflect the diversity of Australia's First Nations peoples. More than 100 First Nations languages are currently spoken across Australia. Some are spoken by only a handful of people, and most are in danger of being lost forever. But many are being revitalised. In today's episode of Australia Explained we explore the diversity and reawakening of Australia's First languages. - Toute personne qui vient d'arriver en Australie peut comprendre à quel point il est important de préserver sa langue maternelle. La langue fait partie intégrante de votre culture et les langues autochtones d'Australie ne font pas exception à la règle, car elles relient les gens à la terre et à leurs connaissances ancestrales. Ils reflètent la diversité des peuples des Premières nations d'Australie. Plus de 100 langues des Premières Nations sont actuellement parlées en Australie. Certains ne sont parlés que par une poignée de personnes, et la plupart risquent d'être perdus à jamais. Mais nombre d'entre eux sont en cours de revitalisation. Dans l'épisode d'aujourd'hui d'Australia Explained, nous explorons la diversité et le réveil des langues premières d'Australie.

Many mark the start of the singer-songwriter genre to have begun when Carole King released her second studio album, the iconic Tapestry. As would be expected from a singer-songwriter, all of the songs on the album were either written or co-written by King.  Tapestry is considered one of the greatest albums of all time in the soft rock genre.Born Carol Joan Klein in Manhattan, King began piano lessons at four years of age.  Her upbringing included friendship with Paul Simon and dating Neil Sedaka.  In the 50's at the age of 17 she met and married Jerry Goffin with whom she would team up on songwriting through the 60's - King writing the music and Goffin writing the lyrics.  They had several successful songs during the 60's including "Pleasant Valley Sunday" (The Monkees), "I'm Into Something Good" (Herman's Hermits), and "Up On the Roof" (the Drifters).  King and Goffin divorced by 1968, and King moved to Laurel Canyon in Los Angeles to re-start her recording career.Tapestry features both new and old songs of Carole King's catalog.  Several new friends from the Laurel Canyon area appear on the album, including James Taylor and Joni Mitchell.  Fellow songwriter Toni Stern co-wrote two of the songs, including the hit "It's Too Late."The album was a hit, spending 313 weeks on the Billboard Charts (second only to "Dark Side of the Moon" in time on the chart).  It also was a critical success, taking the Grammy for Album of the Year at the 1972 Grammy awards.  King announced her retirement from music in May 2012, but has done a few things since then, including a live performance of Tapestry in Hyde Park in 2016.  Friend of the show Greg Lyon sits in for Wayne while Bruce presents this soft rock album for this week's podcast.TapestryThe title track to the album is a look back on life as a colorful combination of threads woven into a picture or pattern, but not one intended to last.  This is a deeper cut which was not released as a single.Where You LeadSeveral songs became hits for other artists while the album was still on the charts, including this one.  Barbara Streisand recorded this song for her 1971 album, and it reached number 40.  The song takes its inspiration from the book of Ruth in the Bible.  It was also the theme song for the television series "Gilmore Girls."  Toni Stern collaborated with King to write this song.  You've Got a FriendThis is another song which became a hit for another artist.  James Taylor did this on his 1971 album, "Mud Slide Slim and the Blue Horizon," making it to number 1 on the US charts.  The two albums were being produced concurrently, and Taylor, Joni Mitchell, and Danny Kortchmar perform on both King's version and on Taylor's version.  King has said the song is a response to the line in James Taylor's "Fire and Rain" which says "I've seen lonely times when I could not find a friend."  So Far AwayJames Taylor is on acoustic guitar for this piece, and King is on piano.  It went to number 14 on the Billboard Hot 100 and was on the charts in September 1971.  It starts with a focus on the physical distance between lovers, then moves on to emotional distance.  ENTERTAINMENT TRACK:Main theme from the serial Danger Island (from the television series “The Banana Splits Adventure Hour”) This live action 10-minute adventure short appeared as a part of "The Banana Splits Adventure Hour," which concluded this month. STAFF PICKS:Ain't No Sunshine by Bill WithersLynch leads off the staff picks with Withers' breakthrough single from his debut album, "Just As I Am."  The inspiration for this song was the 1962 film "Days of Wine and Roses," which portrays two characters who were alcoholics.  The idea is that someone may not be right for you, but you miss them regardless.  Signs by Five Man Electrical Band"And the sign said 'long haired freaky people need not apply!"  Rob brings us a signature song from a Canadian band.  The song originally appeared as a B-side to a less successful song called "Hello Melinda Goodbye," but became successful on its own.  Frontman Les Emerson wrote this song after seeing so many billboards in Los Angeles which obscured the natural scenery.Whatcha See Is Whatcha Get by The DramaticsGreg features the title song from the debut album of R&B group The Dramatics.  This song contrasting the fakeness of people with the authenticity of the singer went to number 9 on the Billboard Hot 100 and number 3 on the R&B chart.  It fuses a Motown feel with a Latin undertone.Thin Line Between Love and Hate by The PersuadersBruce brings us a cautionary tale about a guy who comes home late at night, finding his girl smiling and ready to cook him some dinner.  He learns his lesson when he wakes up in the hospital, beaten to within an inch of his life.  This song by a New York R&B group made it to number 15 on the US charts.  INSTRUMENTAL TRACK:The Rock by Atomic RoosterWe close out with an instrumental from a British rock band originally co-formed by prog rock organist Vincent Crane and percussionist Carl Palmer.

Episode Summary: The Chalice and Vessel of Freedom (Pages 405-416) & The Covenant (Pages 417-418)Today, we focus on the final chapter of Transmission 8 and Transmission 9 as a closing reflection. While Transmission 9 isn't a full episode, it holds profound significance in the journey we've been on—so I'll address it at the end. Because, as we've learned, Transmission 9 is … you.This final offering is about freedom—but it challenges the way we often perceive it. We tend to think of freedom as something external—something to be won, taken, or given. But here, we learn that true freedom is an internal state of being.* It is not something we wait for.* It is not something we fight for.* It is something we become.That shift in perception? It's up to each of us.As we move through this chapter, have your Freedom Transmissions Personal Process page ready—you'll be guided to reflect and write.Key Themes* True Freedom is an Internal State – Not something granted, but something cultivated.* Freedom Requires Responsibility – We must nurture it, not take it for granted.* The Illusion of Freedom – External power and control are not real liberation.* Forgiveness as the Path to Peace – The real battle is within, not outside of us.The Responsibility of Freedom* Freedom is not an entitlement—neither in the human nor the divine sense.* Many take freedom for granted, assuming it is simply their right, but without awareness, it can be lost.* “Freedom is not something that happens to us—it is something we cultivate through presence, consciousness, and effort.”* The illusion of freedom—believing that power, unlimited choices, or control over others will bring liberation—is a false path.* True freedom is not about getting everything we want; it is about no longer being ruled by wanting.Where Does Freedom Exist?* Freedom is an inner journey. It is not found in external conditions but within our perception and awareness.* Wars have been fought over freedom, yet history shows that these battles often lead to more suffering.* “The real battle is internal. The only fight that leads to lasting peace is the fight for forgiveness.”* Unlike wars that create winners and losers, forgiveness frees everyone.* True freedom is not about overthrowing others or proving ourselves right. It is about releasing chains—anger, fear, separation, and illusion.You Are the Vessel of Light* The responsibility of freedom does not belong to someone else—it belongs to you.* Not through suffering. Not through sacrifice. Not through war.* But through inner transformation, kindness, compassion, and choosing peace over conflict.* “True freedom is not about fighting the war. It is about ending it—within ourselves first, and then in the world.”* “Through Presence, you become conscious that you are consciousness itself.”* The peace within you is not just a gift; it is a responsibility.* You are called to embody it, to live in the light of consciousness, to choose peace.The Truth of FreedomThe book tells us:* “There is nothing to have Faith in, for you ARE Faith.”* “There is nothing to Forgive or be Forgiven for. There never was. For you ARE Forgiveness.”* “There is nothing to be Free from, for you ARE Freedom. You are already Free.”So, “…go forth and reveal and unfurl your beautiful tapestry within the Tapestry of the Web of Life.”The Covenant: The Ninth Transmission is YOU* Transmission 9 is called The Covenant… and as we've learned, Transmission 9 is YOU.* A covenant is offered to sign in realization and completion of this sacred journey—between you and Yeshua.* This is your commitment to upholding your service as a Holder of the Light.* This is the moment to acknowledge that the Light you carry is your responsibility.Key Takeaways* The journey of transformation is an internal one.* Freedom is not outside of us—it is within.* We are called to walk forward in peace, embodying the Light we already are.* You are the final transmission. You are the pathway to peace.Closing ReflectionThis has been a journey of transformation, alignment, and peace. The pathway is not outside of us—it exists within. We are the ones now—carrying wisdom, light, and the responsibility to embody love.This is not about seeking something external; it is about remembering who we truly are.You are the ninth transmission. Go forth in your life as peace.Thanks for listening. Keep holding the light.Subscribe & Stay Connected

This episode's guest is actor, writer, voiceover artist, and unapologetic improv nerd, Roxana Ortega.Roxana is one of those rare artists whose vulnerability, honesty, and humor hit you all at once – and leave a lasting impression. If her voice sounds familiar, it might be because she's voiced everything from the passionate Frida Casagrande on The Casagrandes to characters in Call of Duty, Final Fantasy, and Monsters at Work. She's narrated Pulitzer Prize-winning novels, voiced countless animated characters, and is a master of voice matching (yes, she's dubbed for Penelope Cruz and Salma Hayek).In our conversation, Roxana takes us through the unexpected path that led her to acting – from growing up in an academic household where creativity wasn't considered a “real” career, to having a life-changing epiphany while teaching English in Spain. We talk about the internal battle between playing it safe and going after what you truly want—and what it really means to decide to be an artist.We go deep into the power of improv as both a performance tool and a life philosophy, how failure can be a gift, and why community-building and representation matter now more than ever. Roxana shares how she uses her voice – literally and figuratively – to make space for underrepresented stories, and how she's continued to evolve as a writer, performer, and director.Whether you're someone who thrives on stage or someone working up the courage to take the leap, Roxana's journey will remind you that embracing risk, staying curious, and being fiercely yourself is always worth it.Episode Chapters 00:00 – Welcome + Introduction02:00 – Names, Language, and Laughter04:00 – Academic Roots & Artistic Restlessness07:55 – The Epiphany in Spain13:49 – “I Decided to Be an Actor”16:00 – Improv, Joy, and Redefining Failure21:45 – Performing, Directing, and Creating Her Own Work32:00 – Representation, Identity, and Making Space40:00 – The Tapestry of Humanity49:30 – Amazing Race Nerd Out50:50 – Blissful Spinster & Making Art on Your Own Terms54:35 – Final Words of Wisdom55:14 – What's Next for Roxana58:00 – Wrap-Up & Thank YouRoxana's Bio:Roxana Ortega is an American actor, writer, and voiceover artist who is known for voicing the ever-emotional Frida Casagrande on Nickelodeon's Emmy award-winning and Imagen award-winning cartoon The Casagrandes, a spinoff of the acclaimed series The Loud House.On-camera, she recently starred opposite Danny Trejo, Reno Wilson, and a cast of legends including Garrett Morris, Barry Bostwick, and James Hong in the Universal feature Grand-Daddy Day Care. Other film credits include The Flight Before Christmas opposite Mayim Bialik, Miss Congeniality 2 opposite Sandra Bullock, and Larry Crowne opposite Tom Hanks. Her TV guest-star credits include New Girl, Shonda Rhimes' For The People, The League, Rules of Engagement, NCIS, and the Peabody award-winning satire American Vandal.Behind the mic, she has voiced countless characters in TV, films, trailers, commercials, and some of the biggest video game franchises around, including Call of Duty: Modern Warfare, Final Fantasy, Halo, and Ghost Recon: Wildlands. A two-time AudioFile Earphones Award winner, she has narrated the Pulitzer Prize-winning novel A Visit from the Goon Squad, the National Book Award finalist Sabrina & Corina, and the New York Times's non-fiction best seller Random Family to name just a few. In addition, her mimicking skills have led her to voice-match the likes of Penelope Cruz, Salma Hayek, and Jennifer Tilly.Born in Los Angeles and raised in Fullerton, CA, Roxana is of mixed Peruvian and Mexican descent. She graduated from U.C. Berkeley Phi Beta Kappa with a degree in Interdisciplinary Studies, then spent a year teaching English in Madrid, Spain. It was there, while she was elaborately acting out English vocabulary to her students, that she realized she wanted to pursue a career in acting. She returned to the Bay Area and immersed herself in theatre and improvisation, then made her way to Los Angeles where she continued her improv and acting training and began writing and performing sketch comedy.Roxana is an alumna of the CBS Diversity Sketch Comedy Showcase, Upright Citizen's Brigade, and the Groundlings Sunday Company. She has written and produced her own shorts and performed storytelling all over Los Angeles, including at The Moth GrandSLAM.She is also the creator and co-host of the live storytelling show Minority Retorts, which spotlights stories from the under-represented, and The Risking Space, a podcast about art and risk. Connect with Roxana on: InstagramLearn more about Latina's Act Up on: InstagramCheck out The Groundlings on: Instagram Links & LoveIf your ears like what they're snacking on, follow, rate, and drop a review—it helps others find the show too.Want to support the show or get access to extra content—like behind-the-scenes journals, guest deep dives, and updates on getting Alone Girl made?

When young Shay Pendray told the head of her school that she wanted to learn to sew, he had a prerequisite: He would give her a lamb, and she would learn to process the wool, spin it into yarn, and weave it into cloth, and then she could learn to sew. It was an extraordinary home ec class, but the administrator in question was Henry Ford. Shay was one of the students in Greenfield Village, a living museum on the grounds of what is now the Henry Ford Museum. Shay has combined curiosity, hard work, good fortune, and a passion for needle arts ever since. Many fiber artists will remember Shay from the Needle Arts Studio with Shay Pendray. Wanting to share her knowledge of needlework, she developed a television series that ran on PBS stations for years. Before finding a national television audience, Shay opened successful needlework shops, studied embroidery in Japan, China, and Britain, and wrote several books. After decades as a business owner, television pioneer, and teacher, Shay finds great joy in sitting down with needlework every day, reveling in the variety of threads, materials, and information available to stitchers. Besides needle arts, Shay's other passion is for horses. She loves to ride her horse in the open spaces of Wyoming, admiring the value of the greens and golds in the landscape.
