Podcasts about That Summer

A top bit of Lillian for an acting legend. We're delighted to host Ray Winstone at Dish for a meal fit for acting royalty. Ray, born and raised in East London, has starred on screens since his breakthrough role in Scum in 1979. Other credits from a storied career include That Summer!, Quadrophenia, Sexy Beast, The Departed and Nil By Mouth, alongside Kathy Burke and Gary Oldman.  Ray has a strong connection to Sicily, and regularly spends time at his Italian retreat, where he lives with a degree of self-sufficiency growing fruit, vegetables, nuts and even making his own olive oil. As we find out, Ray has immersed himself completely into Sicilian culture, and takes time to swap notes with Angela about its benefits and idiosyncrasies. We also hear about Ray's sweet tooth, his love of a rib of beef and slow cooked meats, and the joy of sharing sloppy pig trotters with pals.  Angela serves up a Dover sole with buttery capers & shallots, inspired by this pan-fried plaice recipe, with sides of Jersey Royals and green helga beans. There's also some of Angela's own focaccia to help mop up any delicious buttery juices. The wine flows through the episode, beginning with a bottle of Recchia Amarone della Valpolicella, with M de Minuty Côtes De Provence Rosé the suggested pairing for the meal. Don't forget the salted caramel truffles, too. They come along with the Goody Bag for the ultimate final temptation for Ray.  Ray can be seen as crime boss Bobby Glass in The Gentlemen on Netflix right now, with Season 2 landing on 3 September. The show, directed and produced by Guy Ritchie, features a cast including Theo James, Vinnie Jones, Joely Richardson and former Dish guest, Kaya Scodelario. As we know from our chat with Natalie Portman, a set run by Guy Ritchie is always a tasty one, so what did Ray make of the catering?!

TRIGGERWARNUNG & SPOILER ALERT: Es werden Inhalte des Romans gespoilert, besprochene Themen sind Vergewaltigung, sexuelle Übergriffe und sexuelle Gewalt.Die Werbekampagne zum heute vorgestellten Buch könnte irreführender nicht sein. Chapeau! Angepriesen als neuestes Werk der “unangefochtenen Königin des Strandbuches” Jennifer Weiner, die stattliche 15 No. 1 auf der Bestsellerliste der New York Times ihr Eigen nennen kann, und deren klassische Heldin in ihren eigenen Worten so charakterisiert wird: “ein glückliches Ende finden, während sie sich selbst treu bleibt.”Bei einem Werbeauftritt in Amerikas - meint hier The United States of - berühmtester Guten-Morgen-Fernsehshow “Good Morning America!” unterhält sich Autorin Jennifer Weiner einige kurze Minuten mit den 3 Hosts der Sendung über ihr gerade veröffentlichtes Werk “That Summer”, und wir erfahren:1. Jennifer Weiners Mutter ist vor kurzem gestorben, und eine der wichtigsten Lektionen, die sie von ihr gelernt hat, ist Body Positivity, also das Wohlsein im eigenen Körper, dessen Möglichkeiten kennend und wertschätzend, unabhängig davon, ob das heute zum Glück immer mehr schwindende Traummaß des 90-60-90 erreicht wird.2. Gefragt, warum ihre Heldinnen immer dem gleichen Muster zu folgen scheinen, antwortet sie mit einem Zitat von Toni Morrison, bei der sie auch mal einen Schreibkurs besucht hat: “Wenn es ein Buch gibt, dass du lesen musst, und es steht nicht in der Buchhandlung, musst du es selbst schreiben. (Ziemlich sicher gibt es eine bessere als diese sehr freie Übersetzung.)3. “That Summer” wurde während der Pandemie geschrieben, als sich Jennifer Weiner zu Hause mit ihrer Familie ununterbrochen konfrontiert sah und sich zu einem Platz schreiben wollte, den sie liebt. Voilá: Cape Cod.4. Zwei der Protagonistinnen sind 15 Jahre alt, so alt wie die Tochter der Autorin. Sie ansehend fragt sie sich: Hat sich die Welt geändert, seitdem ich in diesem Alter war? Habe ich mich geändert? Und wenn ja, ist es jetzt besser?5. Wenn es nicht besser ist, was muss getan werden, was muss ich tun, damit sie besser wird?Und weil die Show Good Morning America! heißt, lächeln alle in die Kamera, pandemiebedingt in 4 Kacheln und nicht im selben Raum. Jennifer Weiner hält noch kurz das Buch in die Kamera und winkt.Ähnlich war die Ankündigung des Buches auf einer der von mir frequentierten Empfehlungslisten. Could have fooled me! Hat es auch.Zurück zu 4. Ich nummeriere hier ja nicht umsonst: Hat sich die Welt geändert, und falls ja, ist es besser? Ja, vielleicht, hoffentlich, sonst könnte man den ganzen Bumms auch anzünden.Zurück zur eingangs erwähnten Marketingkampagne und einem radikalen Bruch mit Studio Bs nirgendwo niedergeschriebenem, mündlich aber öfter formulierten Anspruch, hier in denglish, DIE STORY NICHT ZU SPOILERN:Bei “That Summer” handelt es sich nicht um ein unbeschwertes Buch, das zur Sonnencremebeschmierten und zwischen den Seiten Sand ansammelnden Sommerlektüre empfohlen werden kann, weil der Plot den champagnerinduzierten Schwips verstärkt, auch wenn das in fast allen Empfehlungen und Besprechungen so erscheint.Und ein weiterer Beweis der These, dass Kritiker*innen nicht immer das rezensierte Werk tatsächlich auch - wenigstens ansatzweise und überfliegend - gelesen haben.“That Summer” ist die Geschichte zweier unterschiedlicher Frauen, beide heißen Diana, die eine wird Daisy genannt. Sie verfolgen geradezu konträre Lebensentwürfe. Während Diana als erfolgreiche Vertreterin durch die Staaten reist und ein luxuriöses Leben als Single führt, finden wir Diana, die sich als Kochlehrerin ein berufliches Standbein aufgebaut hat, als Organisatorin, Putzfrau, seelischer Mülleimer und mit dezenter Unaufmerksamkeit durch ihren ein paar Jahre älteren Ehemann Hal und mit offenerer Abneigung durch ihre 15jährige Tochter Beatrice bedachte, ein wenig einsame Frau, deren äußere Lebensumstände Zufriedenheit bringen sollten, sie aber zunehmend irritieren. Die beiden begegnen sich, weil Dianas Mails aufgrund eines Tippfehlers in der E-Mail-Adresse bei Daisy landen. Bei einem ersten Treffen der unterschiedlich situierten Frauen sind sich beide sympathisch, eine Freundschaft bahnt sich an.Der Plot von “That Summer” wird in 2 zeitlichen Linien entwickelt: rückblickend auf die Geschehnisse eines Sommers, eben “That Summer”, deren Protagonistin Diana ist, und in der Jetztzeit, mit reflektierenden Rückblicken auf Daisys Geschichte und immer weiteren Enthüllungen über Dianas Leben.Im Sommer 1987 hat Diana als 16jährige einen Sommer auf Cape Cod verbracht, als Aushilfe in einem befreundeten Haushalt. Erste Liebe zu einem Collegeboy, zum Abschluss des Aufenthalte eine Party, nach der sich Diana zunächst an nicht viel erinnern kann. Als die Erinnerungen an diese Nacht zurückkehren, wird ihr Leben ein anderes sein und werden: Sie wurde vergewaltigt, ein 2. Student hat sie festgehalten, ein Dritter zugesehen, aber nicht eingegriffen. Diana verlässt in der Folge die Schule ohne Abschluss und wird nie Kinder haben.Sprung in die Jetztzeit: Was Diana will, ist Rache. Der Beginn ihrer aufkeimenden Freundschaft mit Daisy ist zunächst vorgetäuscht. Durch einen Zufall hat sie ihren Vergewaltiger von damals wiedererkannt und möchte auch die Frau bestrafen, die in ihren Augen alles hat: eine Familie, eine Tochter. Zunehmend bekommt sie Skrupel, wird aber ihre Geschichte zu erkennen geben, mit weitreichenden Folgen.Das Buch stellt komplexe Fragen zur Verantwortung sexueller Übergriffe: nach der des Vergewaltigers, nach der der Eingeweihten. Es ist ein Werk über die Auswirkungen eines lange Jahre verheimlichten Angriffs auf das Leben der Beteiligten, die Macht und Auswirkungen von Rache. Wie hart sollen solche Verbrechen bestraft, oder sollten sie vergeben werden? Jennifer Weiner erwähnt explizit die me too Bewegung, die viele Frauen ermutigte und inspirierte, über ihre traumatischen, manchmal aber - und das ist fast unheimlicher - gewöhnlichen und als alltäglich wahrgenommenen Erfahrungen mit sexuellen Übergriffen und sexueller Gewalt zu sprechen und zu schreiben. Dabei finden sich in “That Summer” alle möglichen Formen, in denen diese gewaltvollen Erfahrungen in unserer Gesellschaft behandelt werden.Mannigfaltig sind die Entschuldigungsformeln: “Jungs müssen sich ihre Hörner abstoßen.” So formuliert es der alte Vater des Vergewaltigers oder auch kürzer “So sind junge Männer eben.”Dem Opfer wird eine Mitschuld gegeben: “Sie wusste doch, worauf sie sich einlässt, wenn sie auf die Abschlussparty des Sommers geht und dort auch noch Alkohol trinkt.”“Vielleicht hätte sie nicht so flirten sollen.”In den Diskussionen wird darauf hingewiesen, dass sich der damalige Täter von damals geändert hätte, und dass er vielleicht nicht so gehandelt hätte, wenn man ihm nicht die Möglichkeit gegeben hätte.Ein Grund, der letztendlich sowohl Diana als auch Daisy in ihrem Umgang mit den Folgen der Vergewaltigung zur Offenheit zwingt, ist Daisys 15jährige Tochter. Der drohende Schrecken sich immer wiederholender Ereignisse führt beide dazu, über die Ereignisse dieses Sommers zu sprechen.Nun ist natürlich die Frage, warum “That Summer” noch in diesem - mittlerweile doch abgekühlten - Sommer gelesen werden sollte: Jennifer Weiner hat einen Roman geschrieben, der sich mit überraschenden Wendungen einem schwierigen Teil unserer Gesellschaft nähert. “That Summer” ist leicht zu lesen, aber keine einfache Lektüre. Wie auch, wenn die Auswirkungen einer Vergewaltigung für die Betroffenen lang und traumatisch sind, die niemals vollkommen geheilt werden können und ein anderes Leben erzwingen? Jennifer Weiner nähert sich der komplexen Thematik nuanciert und präzise, aber nicht reißerisch oder polemisch.Ihr Verdienst ist es, die Möglichkeiten zu zeigen, die eine sich verändernde Gesellschaft bietet und die Kraft weiblicher Freundschaften zu feiern. Das mögen manche als kitschig empfinden, ist aber einer der Gründe, warum der Bums hier noch nicht brennt.Im Internet (wo sonst?) wurde “That Summer” kontrovers diskutiert. Es wurde auf einige Inkonsistenzen hingewiesen, im Wesentlichen hangelten sich gelegentliche Kritiken an den entschuldigenden Argumentationslinien der Vergewaltiger und ihrer Kompliz*innen entlang, eine politische Agenda der Verrisse war dabei oft unverkennbar.“That Summer” und die Diskussion könnte - wieder einmal - ein Anstoß sein, über unsere Gesellschaft zu sprechen und zwar miteinander. Als die me too Bewegung bzw. die Berichte und Auswirkungen - Stichwort Cancel Culture unsere Breitengrade erreichte, wurden in meinem Bekanntenkreis in den diversen Bars und Kneipen der Stadt viele erhitzte Diskussionen geführt, deren Schwerpunkt immer Fragen waren, ob es wirklich gerechtfertigt sei, dass z. B. ein begabter Schauspieler seine Jobs infolge von Anschuldigungen verliert, obwohl noch kein Gericht seine Schuld festgestellt hat. Nie, wirklich nie, wurde mir oder den anwesenden Freundinnen und Frauen die Frage gestellt, was denn unsere Erfahrungen sind. Versuche, über die Kultur sexueller Übergriffe und Vergewaltigungen und ihre Folgen und Auswirkungen zu sprechen, hat es immer wieder gegeben. In den vergangenen Jahrzehnten gab es immer wieder Berichte und Studien, immer schockierend, in welcher Vielzahl und Gewöhnlichkeit diese Übergriffe erfolgen.Ich bin es satt. Ich habe keine, wirklich gar keine Lust, über die Folgen für die Vergewaltiger und Arschgrapscher zu sprechen. Es ist mir egal, ob sie Freundinnen und Freunde und Jobs und eine Karriere und den Respekt der Gesellschaft verlieren und ob sie vor den Enthüllungen in ihrer Profession die Kunst auf eine neue Stufe gehoben haben. Immer und immer wieder kommen Männer mit ihrem übergriffigen Verhalten durch. Der letzte US-Präsident ist dabei nur ein besonders krasses Beispiel, gewählt wurde er trotzdem, auch von der Mehrheit der weißen Frauen. Es sind nicht nur Länder wie Indien oder der südamerikanische Kontinent, in dem diese Übergriffe stattfinden. Es sind eure Freundinnen, eure Nachbarinnen, die Barkeeperinnen, die Kolleginnen. Sie alle haben diese Geschichten auf Lager, der einzige Ausweg ist, den Mund aufzumachen und die Gesellschaft und ihre Institutionen zu zwingen, die Täter zu hindern und zu bestrafen. Bevor ihr das nächste Mal über einen “gecancelten” oder mit Vorwürfen konfrontieren Schauspieler sprechen möchtet, fragt sie lieber, wie es ihnen bisher so ergangen ist (und seid nicht enttäuscht, wenn sie nicht darüber sprechen wollen).Am Ende vom Tag können doch alle froh sein, dass die meisten keine Rache, sondern nur Respekt und Gleichberechtigung wollen.Warum diesmal dieser Rant? Dazu hat mich die Lektüre von Jennifer Weiners “That Summer” getrieben. Ein Roman, der Auswirkungen hat. This is a public episode.

Welcome, welcome! As the title suggest, we have a lot of laughter for you this episode. I will apologize for trauma dumping on all of you, my life story goes on for way too long. You can just listen for the music at the 26 minute mark (roughly, don't quote me nothing I say is exact) if you want to skip it which I recommend.As for Anime as the title of the podcast implies, we have My Dress Up Darling, That Summer that guy died... what's his name? Hikaru? The Lord of Mysteries makes a return and the Water Magician has a mini update.

The worst thing that's ever happened to the Democrats is democracy.It must be quite an existential crisis that, after all that, the rest of the country rejected their opinion of Donald Trump. That the guy they said was a rapist, a racist, a fascist, a dictator, a Nazi, a bigot, a transphobe, a misogynist, a Russian asset, a criminal, a felon, a fraudster, a fake, a traitor, an election denier and insurrectionist, an extremist, a terrorist, a white supremacist, a phony that they impeached twice and indicted four times, and became the first presidential candidate with a mug shot, and to be convicted of a felony still won the popular vote.That has got to really burn.But it isn't the Trump side that is now in a perpetual state of shock because it existed inside a utopian bubble, cutting itself off from the rest of America. It isn't the Trump side that cosplayed World War II for so long that it lost touch with reality about either our world now or what really happened in World War II. It isn't the Trump side that was the empire.Their war-torn resistance fighters were so disgusted that none of the Democrats had done enough to “stop Hitler Trump and his Nazi leader, Elon Musk,” that their approval numbers were at historic lows. DO SOMETHING, their supporters cried.So Cory Booker took to the Senate floor to remind them of what they still stand for. And to rally the troops. He prepared in advance for the performance of his life. He denied himself food and water to go the distance. It was, for him, a chance to audition for the part of Charismatic Leader, the democrats so desperately need.Booker found a way: It's not Left or Right but right or WRONG.It's a far cry from Obama's “not red states or blue states, but the United States.” The Democrats no longer believe that. They went from “don't normalize Trump and his supporters” to it's more than justified to demonize, dehumanize, even terrorize them. They are “bad people.” They're no longer welcome. Not in our culture, restaurants, movie theaters, family gatherings, and, most of all, our democracy.Their anger stems from their class privilege of having everything they need, yet they can't accept losing something they want.Here is Batya Ungar-Sargon:Either the Democrats really are caught up in a mass delusion about who Trump is and why he won, or else they're the drama club, and none of it was ever real.Splendor in the GrassI wasn't just in the Drama Club in high school. I was the undisputed queen. Just ask anyone who went to high school with me. I was a terrible student. I barely graduated. My nickname was “no-show Stone,” but the one thing I showed up for was the Drama Club.That's me as Elizabeth Proctor in the high school production of The Crucible.In case you've never seen or read The Crucible, Elizabeth Proctor was John Proctor's pregnant wife who was accused of witchcraft but who was spared because of the presumed innocence of her baby. Her husband, John Proctor, would be hanged.I could never have known that all of these decades later, we'd all be living in a Salem of our own making, and I'd be once again an accused and condemned witch.Inside the drama club, I had a magic mirror - a small group of people who thought I hung the moon. My Drama teacher thought that too. I was his favorite, at least for a time. I didn't know the word “grooming” back then, but looking back on it, I see that's probably what he was doing—a pinch here, a grope there. On the last day of my junior year, he French kissed me just before I went away for summer break.That Summer, he drove up to my house and dropped off a copy of the play Splendor in the Grass. I took that to mean I would be cast as the lead, the part Natalie Wood played in the movie. As the queen of the Drama Club, I got all of the leading roles. Of course, I would play Deannie.But when it came time to cast the play, the part went to someone who wasn't even in the drama club. She was the prettiest girl in school: the Head Cheerleader and the Homecoming Queen. Our teacher had broken the silent code of the drama club - nobody from the outside is allowed in. Because if they do, our fantasy world is shattered.That's all we had. We weren't the popular kids, the cheerleaders, the jocks, the science nerds. We were people who didn't belong anywhere else. But we also liked escaping into a fantasy world of being another person other than ourselves.During the Me Too movement, my friends would always bring up our drama teacher, but honestly, I was more angry that he'd given my part away to a prettier girl.In reality, the Homecoming Queen was the right person to play Deannie, even if our teacher probably just had the hots for her. She was good, too—better than I would have been. Because she was popular, everyone in the school came to see the play.We were all big fish in a small pond, which gave us power we weren't willing to relinquish. But having the whole school see our play meant reality was here, whether we liked it or not.I often think about the drama club now when I watch Christopher Guest's hilarious Waiting for Guffman, which is about a self-important director of a small town theater group and their delusions of grandeur.And that's also what I see when I look at the democrats and all of the performative protesters and activists on the Left, from Eric Swalwell to AOC to Jasmine Crocket to Chuck Schumer to Cory Booker, to all of these delusional people who believe Musk did the Nazi salute and Trump is Hitler.They are Waiting for Guffman. They are the drama club.It's a cosplay fantasy, a dystopian Renaissance Faire. None of it is real. The American people have been watching this performative outrage for almost a decade. They wanted to turn the channel so badly they voted for Donald Trump a second time, and now, here they all are, once again, caterwauling about the very democracy that just took them out of power.They still believe that doing exactly the same thing for this long will get them a different result, the very definition of insanity.But there's a darkness too, a rising violence. What they all mean when they say “Hands off” is not just “hands off” our government, but “hands off” everything else too.Along with keying Teslas and violent outbursts against Trump supporters, there is a hashtag making the rounds on TikTok called “when it happens,” where users fantasize about Trump's death.Identity First vs. America First.During the last Civil War, the two conflicting realities were that a country founded on freedom could not own human beings vs. the false reality that slaves could not survive as free human beings and that there would be chaos and collapse if things changed.Now, we find ourselves once again at a crossroads with two factions believing in two completely separate realities. This time, it's not about westward expansion but rather our migration onto the new frontier of the internet, AI, and the upcoming robot revolution. What will this country be going forward? What will be our values? What will define male and female? What will decide power?You can see each of our potential futures laid out before us. Whole generations have come of age in virtual reality, where they can choose their own avatars and have their own audiences for their own show. It's all performative. But to be included, you must follow the rules. If you don't, out you go. This is a public episode.

Indy reviews Summer of Soul, the documentary by Questlove that recounts the influential but largely forgotten 1969 Harlem Cultural Festival, Samantha suggests Jennifer Weiner's That Summer as your next summer beach read, and then we preview next week's big watch: The Talented Mr. Ripley! Summer of Soul (...Or, When the Revolution Could Not Be Televised) is a 2021 American independent documentary film about the 1969 Harlem Cultural Festival, directed by Ahmir "Questlove" Thompson in his directorial debut.[5] It had its world premiere at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival on January 28, 2021, where it won the Grand Jury Prize and Audience Award in the documentary categories. It had a limited theatrical release in the U.S. by Searchlight Pictures on June 25, 2021, before expanding and being released for streaming on Hulu the next weekend. That Summer by Jennifer Weiner: Daisy Shoemaker can't sleep. With a thriving cooking business, full schedule of volunteer work, and a beautiful home in the Philadelphia suburbs, she should be content. But her teenage daughter can be a handful; her husband can be distant, her work can feel trivial, and she has lots of acquaintances, but no real friends. Still, Daisy knows she's got it good. So why is she up all night? I Love This You Should Too is hosted by Samantha & Indy Randhawa

As you will have heard many times on this podcast series so far, Paul Weller has a long tradition of supporting up and coming music artists. Welsh neo soul artist Nia Wyn is another huge talent to get his stamp of approval and it was a real joy to hear her story on this episode of the Paul Weller Fan Podcast.Her music takes influence from Soul, RnB, Jazz, Pop and Hip-Hop to create something new, something that is uniquely hers. Trust me when I say that her incredible, unmistakable vocals will blow you away with each release and live performance....In our podcast chat, we dig into the recent past to hear about her connections with Paul Weller from a WhatsApp intro that leads to Paul picking Nia up from Woking station for a songwriting and recording session at Black Barn Studio (Paul Weller HQ) and the creation of her beautiful soulful song “Turnstyles”.Released as a single in June 2018, Paul plays bass, hammond organ and piano and sings backing vocals on the song.We also chatted about live performance and as you'll hear on the podcast, Nia opened for Paul at his concert in York in August 2018, along with supporting him on dates for the rescheduled-rescheduled On Sunset / Fat Pop tour in 2021.2022 saw her release more new music with her Magical Thinking EP and she also reached the finals of Glastonbury Festival's Emerging Talent competition. That Summer saw her go on to play the Somerset festival along with Latitude and she supported Paul Weller again at Lytham Festival... Not a bad year right?Nia is another artist, to be endorsed by Paul, whose songs take you on a journey.A raw and powerful style of storytelling that at times can be observational - stories about others, in the third person or more often it would seem that she is singing something deeply personal, open, honest and introspective. Not afraid to wear her heart on her sleeve to tackle topics that may appear to be taboo (her own mental health challenges as example) in an age where those areas of discussion really shouldn't be.She has an incredible knack of making you think with her music whilst also having that all important gift of melody. Every release so far has been pretty special and builds on what has come before and I'm genuinely excited by what is to come in the future. Hosted on Acast.

In today's episode Cassandra Distille and I will talk about the book titled Gristmill by East Hampton author George Caldwell. It's a fictional gothic story that takes place in East Hampton with some similarities and clouded familiarities alluding to the Edies and Grey Gardens. I'll boil some water on Perfection while Cassandra brings some special tea leaves and two cat-themed mugs in preparation of today's episode. Lois Wright's book can be found on Amazon.com or at your local bookseller (such as Burton's Books). www.bookhampton.com Our previous episode on That Summer can be found here. (Also, should you be interested in Fern's memoir that she mentions in this episode, it can be found on Amazon.com or at your local bookseller. She also runs a podcast of the same name alongside this one, Mah Jongg Mondays. I get up to more whacky editing shenanigans on that one, it's quite fun.) -Liam, GG Audio Editor  

In todays episode Fern welcomes Cassandra Distille to the podcast. They discuss That Summer, the prequel to Grey Gardens. The movie includes a famous Bouvier sister and family member of the Edies, Lee Radziwell. Viewers get to see Grey Gardens before and during renovations when the house was at its worst. We see the caring, kind and compassionate side of Lee, who helped her aunt Edith and cousin Edie to navigate through the process of rectifying a multitude of health violations by East Hampton town officials so they could stay living at Grey Gardens. Let's mix some highballs and listen in! That Summer Big Edie's Big Brother - Black Jack Bouvier

This week we're bringing you ‘Coast to Coast', an episode that first aired in September 2012. For many people, the ocean rouses a sense of excitement and adventure, a chance to do something that hasn't been done before. Enjoy these stories, inspired by the place where the land meets the sea. ***************** Stories ahoy! All the Best brings you intriguing tales from the high seas. A South American geologist's rough-and-tumble journey on a raft to Australia leads to a life-changing encounter with Gough Whitlam. And, the real Puberty Blues: a young girl tries to join the blokey surf culture of the 1970s- but an initiation rite in the water goes terribly wrong. That Summer of '75Forget the TV series and the book: the real Puberty Blues started in the summer of 1975. Shé Hawkes was 14, and had begun doing something absolutely outrageous on the beach. Shé- a girl- had started to surf. It wasn't something that the other surfers were going to let her get away with. These days, Shé is a writer and academic: read her piece about women breaking into the surf culture of 1970s Australia, and a fictionalised version of her summer of '75.

It also led to a fateful meeting with Gough Whitlam, just as Chile turned from democracy to dictatorship. See photos and read more about Gabriel's Salas' adventure in this blog post by Zacha Rosen.

Renowned Playwright Ifa Bayeza offers us such insight and interesting background on her "Till Trilogy" of plays ("The Ballad of Emmett Till," "That Summer in Sumner" (world premiere), and "Benevolence." Summaries of each play, the unique link to another play she was writing that served as the impetus to write this series, what she learned about Emmett Till through her research, and her hope for audience member actions after seeing the shows are some of the topics covered. Also, as part of an Embracing Arlington Arts Theater Educational Podcast Series being released next month, what are her views on the issue today and how do we keep the conversation going.

The new Artistic Director for Mosaic Theater Company Reginald Douglas appeared on the "Embracing Arlington Arts Talks" podcast to give us all the details about his vision for the theater, how he ended up in the theater industry, his views on diversity in the industry and why presenting new work is so important to him. Also we discuss his very exciting upcoming season including the premiere of a repertory run of the entire "Emmett Till Trilogy" of plays and the world premiere of one of those shows "That Summer in Sumner," as well as a formidable 25 collaborative partnership with numerous theaters, organizations and thought leaders to promote the dialogue of racial justice.

I grew up in downtown Rochester, about 85 miles west of Syracuse, NY. In 1997 I started traveling to shows in Buffalo and Syracuse a few times per month, sometimes more. That Summer, Ryan Canavan and Keith Allen booked the first Syracuse Hardcore fest. Two years later the fest would be renamed Hellfest. A lot of bands that were influential to this podcast either played or attended one or more of these festivals. I've been toying with the idea of making some podcast episodes documenting this festival so hopefully this is the first of many. For this edition, I'm joined by Ryan Canavan and Dan Zimmerman. Ryan was one of the people that organized this festival and Dan played on the final day in Harvest. Harvest was on a full US tour with Endeavor that Summer so Dan talks about that as well. We discuss our highlights from the festival, including a pretty infamous incident on the last day.   --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/enterprise-hardcore-podcast/support

That Summer in Berlin Paperback by Lecia Cornwall In the summer of 1936, while the Nazis make secret plans for World War II, a courageous and daring young woman struggles to expose the lies behind the dazzling spectacle of the Berlin Olympics. German power is rising again, threatening a war that will be even worse than the last one. The English aristocracy turns to an age-old institution to stave off war and strengthen political bonds—marriage. Debutantes flock to Germany, including Viviane Alden. On holiday with her sister during the 1936 Berlin Olympics, Viviane's true purpose is more clandestine. While many in England want to appease Hitler, others seek to prove Germany is rearming. But they need evidence, photographs to tell the tale, and Viviane is a genius with her trusty Leica. And who would suspect a pretty, young tourist taking holiday snaps of being a spy? Viviane expects to find hatred and injustice, but during the Olympics, with the world watching, Germany is on its best behavior, graciously welcoming tourists to a festival of peace and goodwill. But first impressions can be deceiving, and it's up to Viviane and the journalist she's paired with—a daring man with a guarded heart—to reveal the truth. But others have their own reasons for befriending Viviane, and her adventure takes a darker turn. Suddenly Viviane finds herself caught in a web of far more deadly games—and closer than she ever imagined to the brink of war.

Jenn McKinlay is a prolific writer who is best known for the Library Lover's and Cupcake Bakery Mysteries. McKinlay is quickly building a loyal following for her women's fiction and romantic comedies, and her latest is “Wait for It.” When the protagonist, Annabelle, moves from Boston to Phoenix, McKinlay brings readers a slice of life in the desert, a setting the author calls home.

A Moment With Margaret: Margaret and Olivia discuss a few other books with subtle character connections or crossover characters in stand-alone books. Margaret recommends Roni Loren's “Yes & I Love You” and “What If You & Me,” and Olivia recalls old favorites by Emily Giffin, including “Something Borrowed” and the fun finding easter eggs between books, like Jennifer Weiner's “Big Summer” and “That Summer.”
