Podcasts about thestorybehind

May’s guest of the month is one of my oldest podcast friends. She’s a podcaster, podcast editor, consultant, and author. From The Story Behind, Hate to Weight, and E-Podcast Productions, it’s Emily Prokop.I really didn't know where this "interview" was gonna go. But, Considering we are both passionate about podcasting and are podcast editors, I should have expected we would have spent so much time talking shop. What can I say? You put a couple of podcast editors together and all we can talk about is plugins and breath noises. We gripe about people who want the "podcast franchise" handed to them. Also, we discuss some of our favorite podcasters. What would happen if Apple made a podcast creation app? The difference between Apple vs Android users in podcasting, and why I can't go to the She Podcasts Live conference. Of course there's also Emily's podcast recommendation, "Girl In Space."Find Emily athttp://thestorybehindpodcast.com/https://www.epodcastproductions.com/http://hatetoweight.com/Emily’s RecommendationGirl In Spacehttps://www.girlinspacepodcast.com/"Abandoned on a dying ship in the farthest reaches of known space, a young scientist fights for survival (and patience with the on-board A.I.).

Hey there! Hope everyone is enjoying this weird week between Christmas and New Years! When I released the last episode, The Story Behind Christmas Traditions, Part 2, I had some questions about the first part. I released that one way back in 2016, but since I've gotten more listeners since then, I thought it would be fun to re-release it. Even though it's no longer Christmas, why not enjoy saying goodbye to Christmas 2018 with The Story Behind. Enjoy! There are lots of fun things in store for The Story Behind in 2019, including Patreon-exclusive content for executive producers. You can be an Executive Producer by going to Patreon.com/TheStoryBehind. Usually, I don't get a chance to talk about Patreon on the show too much. For those who don't know what it is, it's a way to support artists and creators you enjoy on a monthly basis for as low as $1 a month. The reason I call those who support The Story Behind executive producers is that the job of an executive producer is to make sure funds are in place for shows to go on. They are also invested in the content, like an executive producer on television or in the movies. Another reason is that Diane from History Goes Bump called her Patreon supporters that, I absolutely loved it and made sure to get her permission before using it. Executive Producers get to look at the scripts for episodes ahead of time. And starting in 2019. Executive Producers will be getting bonus episodes with no “quick messages” - just full content. There will be a theme for this year and the monthly bonus episodes will be The Stories Behind each month. So, releasing in January will be The Story Behind January, including the history of the name, as well as information about birthstones, birth flowers, notable dates and birthdays, and a whole lot more. So if you're looking for more episodes of The Story Behind, be sure to check out Patreon.com/TheStoryBehind. In addition, Executive Producers of $5 or more will be getting exclusive access to a new project I'm working on called Muse. It's still in the very beginning phases so there isn't much there, but I'm seeing this as a breakout podcast from The Story Behind. It will be a long-form series based on one specific topic. I'm aiming to put out the first episode in March, but for now, I am enjoying the research process. You'll hear more about that project in future episodes of The Story Behind. I also wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who has purchased The Story Behind book and all the lovely pictures of people I've seen opening them for Christmas! You all made 2018 amazing for this podcast, and I thank you so much for all your generosity and support. And, as always, thanks for listening.

After nearly 2 and a half years I have reached episode 100 of the podcast and I spend a ton of time just vamping about it. I talk about how the show started, how the format grew and changed over time, and how I got to where I am now. I get answer email questions from podcast friends from around the world, and just soak in the fact that I have finally reached such a milestone.

This week I'm wrapping up my series on the guests for the Sunshine Summit 2018 with Jilanne Holder from the Business Mum Community Facebook Group, Emily Prokop from The Story Behind podcast and E Podcast Productions, Nick Haskins from the Epic Film Guys and RestauRant podcasts, Gareth Thomas from Gareth's Random Ramblings, and Bandrew Scott from the Bandrew Says podcast and Podcastage Youtube channel. The news brings a whole lot of people that simply beg the question, "What were you thinking?" And I share the harrowing tale that was... digging through my garage.

Warning: If you usually listen to this podcast at a faster speed, singing will be used and this might be a good time to slow your podcast player down. If you've been with me from the very beginning, you know every so often I like to thrown in a little singing now and then. I try to deny being a theater person, but I secretly am. The theater bug bites me every so often and I want to be in a show again. And not just any show. I was brought up listening to Rodgers & Hammerstein, singing along with Julie Andrews and Bernadette Peters, and had it not been for my lack of grace when it comes to dancing, I probably would have pursued it more. But, now that I have a podcast, and I wanted to celebrate the 100 episodes by doing something special, and no one has to see my bad coordination. I'm your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind: The Musical! Originally, I had a song for this episode's promo, but I decided to record this straight instead. I just wanted to thank everyone who has supported the show. I'm really proud of not only making it to 100 episodes, but also the one year anniversary of The Story Behind. And many of you have been there from the beginning. Thank you for joining the The Story Behind Facebook Group, Liking the Story Behind Facebook page, following @storybehindpod on Twitter and Instagram, becoming executive producers by supporting the show on Patreon.com, sending notes, emails, DMs of encouragement, retweeting, commenting, telling your friends … really, you guys are the lifeblood of this podcast to keep it going. There's going to be some exciting things planned for this podcast and myself and I can't wait to share it with you all. So here's to another 100 and another year of The Story Behind. Oh, and if you're an executive producer of The Story Behind, you can hear the original song I recorded for the promo by going to Patreon.com/TheStoryBehind. LYRICS This is the story all about the modern major musical The history's quite large and certain facts might be disputable It started back in Greece where many theaters were acoustical The middle ages brought them back with church and tra-ve-ling minstrels The 17- and 18-hundreds' shows were quite satirical Though op-er-a quite serious the musicals were comical The views expressed may not have always suited those imperial But entertainment wins and they continued to be fash'niable. With names like Strauss and Offenbach they spread fast geographical They hit the U.S.A. and folks enjoyed a bit of Vaud-eh-ville The history's quite large and certain facts might be disputable This is the story all about the modern major musical Burlesque, we will not cover because this podcast is for all ears But just to note this was a part of musicals for several years Extravaganzas, Pantomimes and farces were all met with cheers The theater thrived and fattened wallets of investing financiers Broadway emerged as the grand force to rule all things theatrical And stage revues like Zeigfeild's Follies drew crowds international In 1919 unions forced their contracts with a picket line The ‘20s saw Cole Porter, Hart and Rodgers and then Hammerstein The Great Depression didn't keep the musicals from going down But actors moved out west to Hollywood for movies now with sound The history's quite large and certain facts might be disputable This is the story all about the modern major musical The people went to movies to escape thoughts of the second war The musicals were loved and records flew off shelves at music stores The decades passed and rock and roll soon stepped on music theater's toes But Sondheim came and introduced the people to his concept shows The trend revived and musicals came back strong like they were before The audiences clamored for Andrew Lloyd Webber's epic scores And now our favorite movies-turned-to-musicals all do quite well And history has sold out crowds with R&B by Lin-Manuel. For episode 100 I came up with doing musicals I hope you learned a bit and all my rhymes weren't inexcusable The history's quite large and certain facts might be disputable This is the story all about the modern major musical!  *** Join The Story Behind Discussion Group on Facebook!

Welcome to The Story Behind: Clue Series. In every episode of this series, we talk about the history of one of the original weapons used in the game, “Clue.” This series may not be appropriate for all ages and listener discretion is advised. This is the second-to-last episode of The Story Behind Clue Series. Since we're out of weapons to talk about, let's shift our attention to the movie I've gotten tons of clips from. And I wanted to take a moment to thank everyone who has sent in clips for the series -- I had a lot of fun putting these episodes together. I'm your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind Clue: The Movie. The Clue Series Butler you heard at the beginning of the episode was played by Paul from Rick and Paul Heal the World. The role of Roger Ebert was played by Adam Higgins from Odd Dad Out and Mom & Dad Cuss a Little. Singing telegram imitation provided by Amy from Ladies Love Paul Rudd.  Join The Story Behind Discussion Group on Facebook!

Welcome to The Story Behind: Clue Series. In every episode of this series, we talk about the history of one of the original weapons used in the game, “Clue.” This series may not be appropriate for all ages and listener discretion is advised.  I had to save the knife for last in this series because there's just so much information about them, and I'm only able to barely touch the surface of the full story behind this particular weapon. I can say, however, that the other weapons in this series like the revolver and the rope are actually better choices when it comes to MURDER (lighting). But, for the sake of suspension of disbelief in playing the game and watching the movie Clue, let's ignore the fact that if you're stabbed you have a 96 percent chance of survival, shall we? I'm your host, Emily Prokop, and this is The Story Behind The Knife. The Clue Series Butler you heard at the beginning of the episode was played by Paul from Rick and Paul Heal the World. The role of Galvarino was played by Stephen Jondrew from GonnaGeek.com.

Every single morning, my grandpa would get up and begin cutting up grapefruit for he and my grandma. She would make oatmeal on the stove, and he would meticulously pick out the seeds and delicately slice each and every triangle-shaped piece. Once the food was ready, they would sit down, eat, and grandpa would pull out the morning paper and do the crossword puzzle. While I enjoyed the breakfast, I was fascinated by the puzzles. Only being in elementary school at the time, I couldn't help much...but I tried. And today I'm still trying. I love crosswords...thanks entirely to my grandpa's love for them. (As an aside, I really love grapefruit too!) Anyway, our guest today has a pretty incredible job. In addition to being a podcaster, Emily Prokop is a crossword and word search puzzle editor. Her career (puzzles) not only impacts her hobby (podcasting), but it changed her entire life. Emily Prokop is a trivia lover and puzzle editor, in addition to being a wife and mom and podcaster. Her latest podcast is called “The Story Behind”, which examines “the extraordinary history of the ordinary.” SHOW NOTES: 0:51 - Emily edits crossword puzzles and word searches for a living, and you won't believe what name she has to edit out of old puzzles these days! 2:42 - "The Story Behind" is the name of Emily's podcast, and is SUPER fascinating. 4:03 - An interview where the interviewer couldn't quite ask a succinct question not only confused Emily, but ended up being her worst ever. 6:50 - How do you interview someone in such a way that allows their answers to tell a story? 8:17 - Try a free 30-day trial of RINGR today! 8:51 - The art of silence. It's amazing what a pause will do to elicit more information from your guest. 10:52 - Emily's first journalism course in college not only changed her career, it introduced her to her husband! 13:03 - Find Emily on Twitter and be sure to check out her podcast "The Story Behind." 13:37 - What is Emily's favorite piece of trivia these days?
