Reaching for the Sky by Tom Sawyer https://www.amazon.com/Reaching-Sky-Tom-Sawyer/dp/B0H381DRN6 Reaching for the Sky is a powerful and inspiring memoir that chronicles the life and career of Tom Storey from his early childhood shaped by World War II influences to his adventurous years in the U.S. Navy, and ultimately to a remarkable career in broadcasting. Through vivid storytelling, the author shares first-hand experiences of serving aboard aircraft carriers during the Vietnam era, navigating dangerous flight deck operations, and witnessing history unfold. The journey continues into civilian life, where persistence, timing, and resilience lead him into the competitive world of radio and television broadcasting in Los Angeles. From humble beginnings and career setbacks to becoming an airborne news reporter covering major events from above, this memoir captures the highs and lows of a life driven by courage and opportunity. Along the way, it reflects on family, love, personal growth, and the importance of seizing life’s “sliding door” moments that can change everything. Rich with real-life stories, historical moments, and behind-the-scenes insights into media and military life, this book is both a personal legacy and an प्रेरational account of chasing dreams against the odds.

"The Adventures of Tom Sawyer" introduced readers to characters inspired by the childhood of its author Mark Twain. June 9 is the 150th anniversary of the book's publication in 1876. Multiple events are planned in Twain's hometown of Hannibal, Missouri, marking the book's real-life setting and literary impact. Mark Schneider, development and marketing manager at the Mark Twain Boyhood Home & Museum in Hannibal, talks about the history of Twain's book, its unique place in American culture and history, and why its language, characters and lessons remain relevant today – and hotly debated.

In 2024, the Atlantic ran a splashy feature titled "The Elite College Students Who Can't Read Books." Professors at the Ivy League and at other elite universities reported that their students, among the most credentialed young people in the country, could no longer make their way through a whole book. One Columbia professor described his bewilderment when a student told him she had never once been assigned a full book in high school. At Tikvah we work with hundreds of educators, and they have observed that it's not only the skill of reading that is in decline; it's also the culture around reading, the patience and attention and habits of the mind that really important books demand. That is where Rabbi Mark Gottlieb begins the conversation you are about to hear. Rabbi Gottlieb has been a guest on the Tikvah Podcast before. He is a senior adviser and treasured colleague at Tikvah, and the head of school at the Dr. Miriam and Sheldon G. Adelson School in Las Vegas, Nevada. At the most recent Marom conference, the annual Tikvah gathering of Jewish day-school leaders, he sat down with Shilo Brooks for a session called "A Republic of Readers: Why Great Books Make Good Citizens." Dr. Brooks runs the George W. Bush Presidential Center and hosts the Free Press podcast Old School. He is also living proof of the stakes. As he tells it, the great books did not merely educate him. They saved his life. Tikvah does not want simply want to air complaints about how the culture of reading has eroded, but to do something about it. This summer, Tikvah Online Academy is running a series of book-clubs for rising sixth, seventh, and eighth graders, live over Zoom. They will tackle The Hobbit, The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, The Phantom Tollbooth, Tom Sawyer, The Life of Frederick Douglass, and more. Applications are open now at Tikvah.org/TOA. This episode of The Tikvah Podcast is generously sponsored by Ilene and David Siscovick and family. If you are interested in sponsoring an episode of The Tikvah Podcast, we invite you to join the Tikvah Ideas Circle. Visit tikvah.org/circle to learn more and join.

Brian Copeland is joined by Cathy Sorbo, Tony Camin, and Kevin Avery for a lively conversation that spans politics, media, technology, and entertainment. The panel dives into the controversy surrounding presidential pardon powers, debates a shocking proposed North Carolina abortion bill, and examines growing concerns about the future of journalism amid major changes at CBS News and 60 Minutes. The discussion also explores cultural shifts in branding and representation, the rise of YouTube creators as Hollywood power players, and the impact of AI on writers, artists, and the future of creative work. Plus, the crew shares summer movie picks, and weighs in on the myth of “superhero fatigue". -- Connect with our Guests... #CathySorbo -  CathySorbo.com and @CathySorbo on IG #KevinAvery - @KevinAveryComedy on Instagram and his Maximum Film!

On this week's episode of Copeland's Corner, Brian is joined by Tom Sawyer, Cathy Ladman, and Jim Vallely. The panel begins with a discussion of Texas politics, examining Ken Paxton's primary victory, the influence of Trump endorsements, voter behavior, and whether shifting political dynamics could create opportunities for Democrats in traditionally Republican strongholds. They also explore the role of religion in modern political messaging and how cultural identity shapes electoral outcomes.  The conversation then turns personal as the guests reflect on their religious upbringings, experiences questioning faith, and the ways family expectations can influence personal beliefs. Cathy shares stories about growing up Jewish and navigating family reactions to her rejection of religious traditions, while the group discusses the broader purpose religion serves in people's lives. Comedy takes center stage as the panel debates the evolution of roast culture, comparing today's headline-generating celebrity roasts to the classic Dean Martin and Friars Club era. The discussion explores changing social norms, workplace sensitivity, and how comedians balance humor with shifting audience expectations. Later, the group examines celebrity relocations, political polarization, media consolidation, and the challenges facing Los Angeles following recent wildfires. They also discuss the growing impact of AI on entertainment, the realities of aging as performers, and why adapting creatively remains essential in a changing industry. -- Connect with our Guests... #CathyLadman - Website  and @CathyLadman1 on Instagram   #JimVallely - Wiki Bio #TomSawyer - TomSawyerVoices.com -- #TexasPolitics #KenPaxton #FaithAndPolitics #RoastComedy  #AIInEntertainment #HollywoodTalk #PoliticalCommentary  #BrianCopeland #CopelandsCorner #HeadlinersOnTheHeadlines#CopelandUnfiltered #ComedyCommentary #PodcastersOfYouTube #ComicsOnAir #TalkPodcast#PoliticalHumor #PoliticalPodcast #HotTalkTopicsPodcast#ComedyNewsShow #CurrentEventsComedy #NewsCommentaryShow#WeeklyComedyTalk #BayAreaTalkShow #ComedyPodcastInterviews #ComedyPodcastHost Hosted by the Bay Area's own Brian Copeland, a longtime Actor, Comedian, Author, Playwright, Television and Radio Personality.

Brian is joined alongside Maureen Langan, Johnny Steele, and Johnny Corn for a wide-ranging discussion on America's political climate, international reputation, comedy culture, religion, and social issues. The panel opened with reflections on how the United States is viewed internationally in the Trump era, with Maureen Langan sharing experiences performing abroad where audiences expressed disappointment and concern about American politics and policies. The conversation explored whether America is experiencing a decline in global credibility, especially regarding foreign policy decisions and tensions involving Iran.  The comedians also discussed how the political environment has changed stand-up comedy, particularly around sensitive topics including religion, anti-Semitism, and political humor. Johnny Steele spoke about adapting material to fit shifting audience reactions and cultural tensions. Later in the episode, the panel debated what priorities Democrats should focus on moving forward — economic concerns versus investigations into Trump-related controversies. The conversation included discussions about presidential immunity, political extremism, and concerns about the long-term effects of division and violence in American politics. The episode also took a more personal turn with stories about Catholic school experiences, religious upbringing, and differing perspectives on sexuality education. The final segment focused on pornography statistics, societal expectations around sexuality, and the impact of online content on relationships and younger generations.  -- Connect with our Guests... #JohnnyCorn - JohnnyCorn.net and @ComicJohnnyCorn on Instagram #MaureenLangan - MaureenLangan.com & @MaureenLangan on Instagram.  #JohnnySteele : JohnnySteele.com -- #PoliticalComedy #TrumpEra #AmericanPolitics #GlobalPolitics #IranNuclearDeal #DemocraticStrategy #PresidentialImmunity #January6 #PoliticalSatire #StandUpComedy #ComedyPanel #BayAreaComedy #FreeSpeech #ReligionAndPolitics #CatholicSchoolStories  #SexEducation #PornCulture #SocialCommentary #BrianCopeland #CopelandsCorner #HeadlinersOnTheHeadlines#CopelandUnfiltered #ComedyCommentary #PodcastersOfYouTube #ComicsOnAir #TalkPodcast#PoliticalHumor #PoliticalPodcast #HotTalkTopicsPodcast#ComedyNewsShow #CurrentEventsComedy #NewsCommentaryShow#WeeklyComedyTalk #BayAreaTalkShow #ComedyPodcastInterviews #ComedyPodcastHost Hosted by the Bay Area's own Brian Copeland, a longtime Actor, Comedian, Author, Playwright, Television and Radio Personality.

In this episode, Jeff welcomes frequent co-host Julia back to the show to discuss a recent talk about the development of Disneyland's Indiana Jones Adventure by Disney Legend Tony Baxter at the Walt Disney Family Museum. Tony led the project and tells stories about interactivity, Harrison Ford, and dealing with hungry rats. Then, we review Disney books - "The Art of Hoppers" and "From Disneyland's Tom Sawyer to Disney Legend: The Adventures of Tom Nabbe" (and we include a bonus interview with Tom himself!) Plus - an extensive and possibly confusing discussion about Topps' new Disneyland 70 trading card set - and more.

This week's Copeland's Corner featured a full slate of political analysis, pop culture commentary, and candid personal stories. The panel—comedians Brian Mallow, Ronn Vigh, and Mike Larsen joined Brian for a sharp and often emotional roundtable spanning conspiracy theories, science, comedy, and culture. Discussion Highlights 1. Trump Assassination Attempt Conspiracies The group dissected widespread disbelief in the Trump assassination attempt, noting that even educated progressives were circulating skepticism online. Debate ranged from Secret Service failures to the administration's handling of messaging, with humor but also concern about erosion of public trust. 2. Jimmy Kimmel, Free Speech & Media Pressure The panel tackled Melania Trump's outrage over Kimmel's White House Correspondents' Dinner joke. Topics included First Amendment limits, Disney's possible response to cancellation threats, and hypocrisy in political outrage. The consensus: Disney will likely stand by Kimmel given his strong ratings and audience loyalty. 3. Trump's Science Board Firings A major portion covered the Trump administration's dismissal of all 22 members of the National Science Board. Mallow and Larsen discussed fears of politicization of science and potential long-term damage to U.S. research leadership. Ronn Vai connected the issue to personal loss, recounting his father's death from COVID-19 and frustrations with misinformation. 4. Personal & Emotional Moments Ronn's story of losing his father to COVID-19 provided a heartfelt segment about grief, misinformation, and performing through trauma. The comedians discussed using humor for healing and shared how the pandemic reshaped their outlook on family and science. 5. Cultural Commentary — Michael Jackson Biopic Debate The panel debated whether watching the Michael Jackson film equates to endorsing alleged abuse. Copeland defended separating art from artist, while Larsen cautioned against whitewashing history. Discussion extended to Cosby's legacy, cancel culture, and how Black audiences uniquely relate to Jackson's cultural impact. 6. Government Integrity & Leadership Conversation touched on government chaos—Secret Service competence, unqualified appointees, and renaming ICE to “NICE.” Mallow highlighted the pattern of replacing experts with loyalists and the cultural “war on expertise.” 7. Closing Humor & Projects The show ended on a lighter note with plugs for upcoming performances: Brian Mallow at STEAM Fest, Saratoga (May 16) Mike Larsen's writing work and San Quentin projects Brian Copeland's continued appearances on the History Channel's “The Unbelievable” -- Connect with our Guests... #RonnVigh - On Instagram @RonnRonnRonn #BrianMalow - ScienceComedian.com #MikeLarsen - @WriteMikeLarsen on Instagram -- #TrumpAssassinationAttempt #ConspiracyTheories #SecretService #WhiteHouseCorrespondentsDinner #FreeSpeech #MediaAccountability #FCC #DisneyPolitics #NationalScienceBoard #ScienceMatters #TrustInScience #Misinformation #COVID19Lessons #PublicHealth #JimmyKimmel #LateNightComedy #MichaelJacksonBiopic #CancelCulture #ArtVsArtist #BillCosby #PopCultureDebate #GriefAndComedy #COVIDLoss #HealingThroughHumor #RelationshipsAndRecovery #BrianCopeland #CopelandsCorner #HeadlinersOnTheHeadlines#CopelandUnfiltered #ComedyCommentary #PodcastersOfYouTube #ComicsOnAir #TalkPodcast#PoliticalHumor #PoliticalPodcast #HotTalkTopicsPodcast#ComedyNewsShow #CurrentEventsComedy #NewsCommentaryShow#WeeklyComedyTalk #BayAreaTalkShow #ComedyPodcastInterviews #ComedyPodcastHost Hosted by the Bay Area's own Brian Copeland, a longtime Actor, Comedian, Author, Playwright, Television and Radio Personality.

Welcome to the existential wormhole that IS [indistinct chatter]...a new regular Friday drop covering topical and episodic ephemera. THIS WEEK:  "Judgement" at Nuremberg indeed; the Hershey biopic you knew you didn't need or want; despite reviews the Michael Jackson biopic will make billions; what do we think about when we think about songs and musicians that we love; Benn Jordan & Rick Beato; Jacob Collier and the collective humanity of improvisation and connection; the Redd Kross documentary and me learning that Redd Kross wasn't a metal band; Detective Hole on Netflix is pronounced 'Detective Hoo-leh' you dumb Americans; more Phil Collins-inspired wormholes; drummer's perspective mixing versus audience perspective mixing; ABACAB, Tom Sawyer, Mean Street, Rush and Van Halen; Michael Omartian and 'Aja'; limitations are what makes a genius artist truly original; and next week on the podcast: Micheal Mann's Miami Vice film reappraised. THANK YOU!            

For our 250th episode, we're stepping into the Limelight to revisit Rush! In Ep. 121, we discovered how 2112 earned the trio creative control with their sci-fi rock opera gamble... Now we're back to learn about Moving Pictures, the band's most commercially successful album and home to enduring hits like Tom Sawyer and YYZ! The band aims to strike the perfect balance between unique identity and mass appeal. With the addition of more synth undertones and a shift in Neil Peart's lyricism, Moving Pictures was able to punch up and future-proof their ever-changing style, and sunset their lengthy prog epics with The Camera Eye. How will this record move US? Can it live up to its counterpart episode (pun intended)?James & Connor revel in the unexpected Year Of Redemption for Geddy and Alex in the form of their 50-Something reunion tour. We walk through the eras since our last episode and trace their evolution, and talk about why this might be a more Connor-friendly pick. The Mixtaper is back on a Witch Hunt, with dastardly (and suspicious) facts about youth crime, rusty coconuts, and frozen follies. Are biographies and past knowledge enough to save James from defeat? Connor learns about the triple pun on the album cover, we learn limited Morse Code, and we definitely don't repeat any jokes in this major milestone episode!What do you consider to be Rush's magnum opus? What's our signature work? Do you agree that everybody needs to deviate from the norm? Do you get your hockey arenas mixed up? (Me too.) Let us know in the comments and on socials!

Brian welcomes back Yayne Abeba, Sue Kalinsky, and Nicole Boxer to the podcast. The panel unpacked the latest allegations against Eric Swalwell, weaving in personal insight, political parallels, and reflections on gender and accountability across politics and entertainment. Discussion ranged from the persistence of sexual misconduct in power structures to how women in comedy still face systemic double standards. Hot Talk Topics- Swalwell Scandal & Political Culture: The panel examined sexual misconduct in politics, referencing a Mother Jones piece that highlighted hundreds of state-level cases. Nicole Boxer compared the environment to her mother Barbara Boxer's Senate experience, emphasizing lack of reporting mechanisms and “plausible deniability” in Congress. Women in Comedy: Sue and Yayne detailed how female comedians have historically battled exclusion, sexism, and being undervalued compared to men. Sue's experiences in the 1980s comedy circuit illustrated how women were often sexualized or denied opportunities after one woman “bombed.” Sexual Power & Narcissism in Politics: Yayne called Swalwell's alleged behavior unsurprising, describing it as part of a narcissistic power dynamic seen in both political and entertainment worlds. Uneven Consequences in Cancel Culture: The group contrasted Louis C.K.'s comeback with Kathy Griffin's continued industry exile, concluding that gender, fame, and financial viability heavily influence public forgiveness. Yayne also noted recent attempts to “cancel” comedians like Dave Chappelle, questioning society's selective outrage. Marriage, Infidelity & Public Figures: Using examples from Hillary Clinton, Huma Abedin, and others, the conversation explored why women often bear the fallout of male misconduct—both in personal and public life. Trumpism & Republican Fear: The panel dissected the GOP's internal fractures—why figures such as Lindsey Graham, Matt Gaetz, and Mike Johnson maintain loyalty despite moral compromise—and how media personalities like Tucker Carlson, Candace Owens, and Joe Rogan appear to be rebranding as Trump's popularity declines. Conspiracy Theories & the “Assassination Attempt”: A provocative segment debated whether the alleged attempted assassination of Donald Trump was staged. Yayne and Sue pointed to inconsistencies and lack of trauma among witnesses, while Nicole tied the event to broader distrust of political narratives and potential manipulation through AI and media. Looking Ahead to the 2028 Election: Nicole argued for using investigations to “educate the public” rather than purely retaliate politically. The guests expressed hope for a “blue wave” restoring democratic transparency, though tempered by fears of extremist influence and voter suppression. Cultural Sidebar- The show closed with lighter topics: Discussion of the upcoming Michael Jackson biopic, its selective timeline, and how family-controlled narratives often sanitize controversy. Reflections on how biographical films distort truth for entertainment. Sue announced her contribution to the new anthology “Comedians Talking Baseball.” Conversation drifted to upcoming women's professional baseball league launching August 1 in Springfield, Illinois, drawing inspiration from A League of Their Own. -- Connect with our Guests... #NicoleBoxer - @NicBoxer on Instagram #YayneAbeba - @YayneAbebaComedy on TikTok #SueKolinsky - @Sue.Kolinsky on Instagram and co-host of CulturePopPodcast -- #EricSwalwell #PoliticalAccountability #CapitolHill #MeTooMovement #EthicsInPolitics #CongressCulture #WomenInComedy #SexismInEntertainment #DoubleStandards #CancelCulture #ComedyIndustry #KathyGriffin #LouisCK #PowerAndAbuse #NarcissismInPolitics #SystemicMisconduct #MediaAccountability #BlueWave #ElectionIntegrity #VoterEmpowerment #DemocracyMatters #FollowTheMoney #CancelCultureDebate #TuckerCarlson #CandaceOwens #JoeRogan #TrumpEra #MAGA #MichaelJacksonBiopic #BiopicDebate #HollywoodNarratives #BehindTheScenes #ComediansTalkingBaseball #WomenInSports #ProWomensBaseball #PodcastCommunity #BrianCopeland #CopelandsCorner #HeadlinersOnTheHeadlines#CopelandUnfiltered #ComedyCommentary #PodcastersOfYouTube #ComicsOnAir #TalkPodcast#PoliticalHumor #PoliticalPodcast #HotTalkTopicsPodcast#ComedyNewsShow #CurrentEventsComedy #NewsCommentaryShow#WeeklyComedyTalk #BayAreaTalkShow #ComedyPodcastInterviews #ComedyPodcastHost Hosted by the Bay Area's own Brian Copeland, a longtime Actor, Comedian, Author, Playwright, Television and Radio Personality.

Broadcasting live from "The Hive" tech accelerator in Grand Forks, host Scott Hennen dives deep into the rapidly shifting landscape of national defense and cultural identity. This "America 250 Countdown" edition tackles the sobering reality of modern warfare—where $1,000 drones can take out million-dollar military assets—and explores the "Point Defense Battle Lab" newly unveiled at the Grand Forks Air Force Base.   The conversation shifts from the "tip of the spear" in North Dakota to the spiritual revival happening among Gen Z with guest Nick Hall. Later, Scott unpacks the psychological roots of "woke" ideology with Dr. John Mills, discussing how social justice has transformed from a push for fairness into a tool for identity politics. From impeachment talks in Minnesota to "fancy like" date nights at Applebee's, this episode covers the heavy, the holy, and the hopeful.   Standout Moments [00:01] The Death of Big Military Scott discusses his visit to the Grand Forks Air Force Base, explaining how the era of "big, heavy things" like massive planes is being replaced by the nanosecond precision of drone warfare.   [00:08] The Modern Billy Graham Evangelist Nick Hall joins the show to discuss the "Pack the Shack" event in Fargo, noting a historic shift where young men are now outpacing young women in religious passion.   [00:16] Radio Graffiti: The Gas Tax Holiday The phones open for "Radio Graffiti," where a listener proposes that North Dakota follow Indiana's lead by suspending the gas tax to provide relief for those living paycheck to paycheck.   [00:19] Impeaching the "St. Paul Cabal" A breakdown of the newly introduced impeachment articles against Minnesota Governor Tim Walz and Attorney General Keith Ellison over allegations of corrupt conduct.   [00:32] Inside the Battle Lab Grand Sky founder Tom Sawyer explains how North Dakota was chosen to manage the world's drone defense procedures, moving at the "speed of necessity" to counter threats seen in Ukraine and Iran.   [00:36] Unpacking the Woke Ideology Dr. John Mills provides a scholarly critique of social justice, defining "woke" as a "binary logic" that splits society into oppressors and victims based on identity.   [00:41] Hypocrisy or Integrity? Scott responds to a listener's jab about Donald Trump using mail-in ballots while simultaneously criticizing the system's integrity.  

Matt just turned 49, and instead of doing a normal birthday playlist, we turned it into a rule: only songs from the years he hit perfect-square ages. That one idea creates a timeline you can actually hear, jumping from 1978 to 1981 to 1986, then into 1993, 2002, and 2013, with two tracks per year and a lot of life packed in between.We talk through why each pick makes the cut and what it carries with it. Kenny Rogers' “The Gambler” becomes a family story about risk, immigration, and gratitude. The Who's “Who Are You” turns into a birthday question that never stops being useful, while Rush's “Tom Sawyer” and Journey's “Don't Stop Believin'” bring the pure classic rock adrenaline. Later, Paul Simon and Van Halen hit the sweet spot of memory and ambition, then Tony! Toni! Tone! and Prince add sharp lessons about money, attention, and the weirdly perfect connections you only notice looking backward.The mix gets heavier and more honest too. We get into Bruce Springsteen's “The Rising” and its 9/11-era weight, and Matt shares the personal story behind Eminem's “Without Me” and how a song can show up at the exact moment you need it. We close with Macklemore's “Can't Hold Us” tied to a daughter's dance solo, and Fun.'s “Carry On” as a message for anyone in a long season of parenting, grief, or rebuilding.https://music.apple.com/us/playlist/matt-2026-birthday-mix/pl.u-MzBDtNqbr81.

In this week's Copeland's Corner, Brian is joined by Tom Sawyer, Laura House, and Ngaio Bealum for a lively and wide-ranging conversation that blends political commentary, comedy industry insights, and cultural reflection. The panel dives into the Iran ceasefire controversy, analyzing President Trump's concessions and the administration's chaotic foreign policy approach. They debate the 25th Amendment, impeachment limits, and the political paralysis surrounding presidential accountability. The group also explores the radicalization of Trump's base, the role of social media algorithms in spreading misinformation, and the normalization of incivility in American politics. Beyond politics, the comedians share personal stories from the stand-up circuit, including memories of San Francisco's comedy scene, the evolution of crowd work culture, and how social media metrics now drive bookings. They discuss the decline of nuanced humor, the challenges of “punching up” versus “punching down,” and why conservative comedy often struggles to connect with mainstream audiences. The episode closes with reflections on technology's impact on human behavior, the changing nature of satire, and the enduring need for humor as a coping mechanism in turbulent times. Highlights...

In this week's Copeland's Corner, Brian welcomes comedians Natasha Muse, Monique Marvez, and Carlos Alazraqui. The panel delivered a lively, politically charged and comedic discussion covering everything from Trump's record-low approval ratings to cultural identity and representation in entertainment. Highlights: Political Pulse: The group analyzed new polling showing Trump's approval at 33%, with deep disapproval on inflation, gas prices, and the economy. They debated whether his base is fracturing, referencing the surprising turnout at “No Kings” rallies in red states. Foreign Policy & War in Iran: The comics questioned U.S. motives for military action in Iran, suggesting it's a distraction from domestic issues. They discussed NATO tensions and the global response to U.S. policy. Mandatory Military Service Debate: Sparked by Rob Schneider's comments, the panel explored the idea of reinstating the draft. Carlos and Monique shared personal and generational perspectives on military service, while Brian recalled performing for troops abroad. Immigration & Birthright Citizenship: The Supreme Court's hearing on Trump's executive order to end birthright citizenship led to a passionate exchange about immigration, open borders, and the fear of America's demographic shift. Cultural Identity & Representation: Carlos reflected on assimilation pressures growing up Latino in California, while Monique and Brian discussed Hollywood's history of whitewashing and evolving attitudes toward ethnic casting. Political Scandals & Relationships: The group dissected the Christy Noem story, kink-shaming in politics, and parallels to past scandals involving public figures. They debated authenticity, hypocrisy, and the cost of maintaining appearances. Environmental Racism & Inequality: The conversation turned to systemic inequities, from freeway zoning in Oakland to pollution in low-income communities, highlighting how environmental and racial justice intersect. Comedy & Career Reflections: The panel reminisced about Rob Schneider's career, the evolution of comedy, and how performers adapt to stay relevant.

Nouveaux pilotes, un brin déjantés, à bord de la Libre Antenne sur RMC ! Jean-Christophe Drouet et Julien Cazarre prennent le relais. Après les grands matchs, quand la lumière reste allumée pour les vrais passionnés, place à la Libre Antenne : un espace à part, entre passion, humour et dérision, débats enflammés, franc-parler et second degré. Un rendez-vous nocturne à la Cazarre, où l'on parle foot bien sûr, mais aussi mauvaise foi, vannes, imitations et grands moments de radio imprévisibles !

One TV host with a stiff posture and a sharp instinct helped rewrite the map of American pop culture. We're talking about The Ed Sullivan Show, the variety powerhouse that ran from 1948 to March 28, 1971 and acted like a weekly national stage for music, comedy, Broadway, and everything in between. When Ed thought you had talent, he put you in front of the country, and millions of people trusted his taste because there weren't a hundred other places to look. We walk through why that kind of platform mattered, including how the show opened doors for artists who couldn't get booked elsewhere, and how a single appearance could change record sales and career trajectories overnight. Then we hit the seismic moment: the Beatles on Ed Sullivan, the audience size, and the “I want to start a band” shockwave that followed. We also get into the messier side of live TV, where censorship and control collide with artists who refuse to play along, with stories that bring The Doors, the Rolling Stones, and Bob Dylan into the same conversation. From there we shift into pure music history joy: why Beatles Anthology 2 is such a rewarding listen, how “Real Love” landed, and what demos, takes, and studio chatter reveal about the band's growth. We keep the momentum going with Jethro Tull's Aqualung era, then jump through chart-tied milestones from Blondie's “Rapture” to Rush's “Tom Sawyer” and “Limelight,” plus Joan Jett's “I Love Rock and Roll.” Jimmy's segment spotlights Guided by Voices and the art of making a big studio sound intentionally lo-fi, before we cap things off with more '90s rock favorites. Learn Something New orRemember Something OldPlease like and follow the Music in My Shoes Facebook and Instagram pagesReach out to us at musicinmyshoes@gmail.comSend us a one-way message.

This week's Copeland's Corner tackled a wide range of political, social, and cultural issues when Brian is joined by Dana Gould, Blaine Capatch, and Cathy Sorbo. The panel opened with a discussion on social media censorship and shadow banning, as Dana and Brian shared personal experiences of reduced reach on TikTok and Facebook for political content. This led into a deeper conversation about media consolidation, tracing its roots to the 1996 Telecommunications Act and the growing concern over a new merger that could give one company control of nearly 90% of U.S. broadcast coverage. The group then analyzed Trump's Iran ceasefire proposal, with Dana and Blaine describing it as political theater and market manipulation. They debated Iran's distrust of U.S. negotiations, the economic fallout of rising gas prices, and the moral implications of voters prioritizing cheap goods over ethical governance. Later, the conversation turned to political corruption, insider trading, and Trump's family's Middle East dealings, followed by a spirited exchange about voter responsibility and the consequences of apathy. The panel also discussed Jesse Ventura's challenge to Barron Trump to enlist in the military, using it as a springboard to critique class privilege and the lack of accountability among political elites. In a powerful segment, Cathy led a discussion on the Cesar Chavez sexual assault allegations, arguing that removing his name from public spaces is appropriate and long overdue. The group compared liberal and conservative responses to disgraced historical figures, noting how liberals tend to remove problematic symbols while conservatives often double down. -- Connect with our Guests... #DanaGould - DanaGould.com #BlaineCapatch - Nerd Poker Podcast. #CathySorbo -  CathySorbo.com and @CathySorbo on IG -- #PoliticalComedy #MediaConsolidation #SocialMediaCensorship #IranPolicy #CesarChavez #ComedyPodcast #TheGreatAmericanShitshow  #TrumpIranPolicy #IranCeasefire #MarketManipulation #PoliticalCorruption #VoterResponsibility #USPolitics #MediaConsolidation #SocialMediaCensorship #ShadowBanning #LegacyReevaluation #Accountability #HistoricalFigures #CancelCultureDebate #EthicalLeadership #PublicMemory   #BrianCopeland #CopelandsCorner #HeadlinersOnTheHeadlines#CopelandUnfiltered #ComedyCommentary #PodcastersOfYouTube #ComicsOnAir #TalkPodcast#PoliticalHumor #PoliticalPodcast #HotTalkTopicsPodcast Hosted by the Bay Area's own Brian Copeland, a longtime Actor, Comedian, Author, Playwright, Television and Radio Personality.

Alec Gillis stops by to have a heartfelt conversation about his fatherhood journey. He and I have an honest conversation about the influence his dad had on him to make his own choice on how to be a dad. He shares the life lessons he learned from his four daughters. After that we blend family and his career by talking about working with his daughter, Camille. We go into his fantastic career in the film industry and how his craft has evolved over the years. Lastly, we finish the interview with the Fatherhood Quick Five.  About Alec Gillis Alec Gillis grew up in Orange County, California within sight of the Disneyland fireworks show. As a kid he roamed the mean streets of Main Street Disneyland, sometimes summering on Tom Sawyer's Island. It was here he gained a lifelong appreciation of animatronics, but it was in the local movie theaters that he fell in love with genre films. At age 20 Gillis began working for Roger Corman on a film called Battle Beyond The Stars. This was along with James Cameron and Gale Anne Hurd. It wasn't long before Alec dropped out of UCLA Film School in favor of the education Corman offered. Gillis was recommended by James Cameron to Stan Winston, where Gillis worked on effects for classic films such as Aliens and Predator. In 1988 he co-founded Amalgamated Dynamics, Inc. (ADI) with Tom Woodruff, Jr. Tremors was the company's first feature, and the film's giant subterranean worms gained notoriety for Gillis. As of 2022, Gillis is now a solo Creature FX Designer, founding his new company, Studio Gillis. His mission is to continue the tradition of creating high quality practical characters and to promote the art of Practical FX. To that end, his production company, Pro Machina, produces modest budget genre films as well as creating miniature effects for films such as Alien: Romulus.

This week's edition of Copeland's Corner, with featured Headliners  . Brian is joined by comedians Greg Proops, Dan St. Paul, and Gini Sikes to discuss the current political landscape. The panel dives deep into the U.S. war with Iran — comparing it to Vietnam, debating four possible outcomes (withdrawal, ground invasion, nuclear escalation, or Trump's removal), and expressing concern over the lack of an exit strategy and the administration's shifting rationale. They discuss Russia's role in aiding Iran, the gutting of the FBI's counterterrorism divisions, and the real threat of domestic terrorism. The conversation shifts to the Epstein scandal and whether the war has successfully pushed it out of the headlines, propaganda's effect on both educated and uneducated voters, and the psychology behind single-issue and grievance-based voting. Greg Proops delivers a passionate argument about white responsibility in right-wing electoral trends and the danger of political apathy. The group also explores the Tig Notaro/Cheryl Hines friendship fallout over RFK Jr., the resurgence of measles due to anti-vaccine policies, Gen Z's nostalgia for the 1990s, the potential for left-wing radicalism, and the rising threat of antisemitism.

What happens when you feel too rock for country and too country for rock? We put that identity to the test with a rapid-fire breakdown of 35 tracks that blur the lines, from Hardy and The Cadillac Three to CCR, Eric Church, and Lynyrd Skynyrd. We wrestle with what truly makes a crossover—songwriting grit, backbeat, guitar tone, or that undeniable chorus—and call out the picks that earned their place, plus a few that surprised us.Then we hit the headlines shaping the scene. Jason Aldean announces a 2026 Songs About Us Summer Tour and drops fresh tracks. CMA Fest lines up rising voices like Ella Langley and Shaboozey, while big festivals keep the season packed from Panama City Beach to Florida's Gulf Coast. Kane Brown builds a four-story Broadway hub, and Dolly Parton tips her hat to Son of Jolene, proving legacies grow when new artists answer the canon. A Ronnie Milsap tribute reminds us why the Opry remains a North Star.We open the floor to you with a walk-up song throwdown—Jukebox Hero to Tom Sawyer, the Rocky theme to One Bourbon, One Scotch, One Beer—and share our own entrance anthems. Expect a practical mini-masterclass on intros, tempo, and how to build energy before a first lyric. Charts get their due as we compare mainstream risers and indie breakthroughs, showing why a sticky hook can outlast any hype cycle.The mailbag pulls no punches: are record deals still worth it for mid-level artists, is radio failing because it won't take risks, and what gets more valuable as AI music improves? We make a strong case for live performance, brand voice, and community as the true moat. We also talk long game—the “ten-year town” reality—and how to measure progress without losing heart.If you're chasing better playlists, smarter career moves, or just need a gateway between steel strings and power chords, this one's for you.

In this explosive Tuesday edition of What's On Your Mind, host Scott Hennen takes listeners inside the Oval Office and the front lines of a rapidly shifting global landscape. As Operation Epic Fury enters its fourth day, President Donald Trump delivers a fireside briefing alongside the German Chancellor, detailing the decimation of Iran's military infrastructure and the "colossal threat" that was narrowly averted. The episode pulls back the curtain on the "4-D chess" being played—from choking off oil supplies to China and Russia to the high-tech logistics of drone warfare being developed right in North Dakota. With expert analysis from Grand Sky's Tom Sawyer on the future of air defense and Senator John Hoeven on the legislative battle for the SAVE Act, this show breaks down why the "yapping chihuahuas" in the mainstream media are missing the forest for the trees. Standout Moments & Timestamps [00:01:28] – Fireside in the Oval Office President Trump addresses the media, explaining that Israel didn't force his hand—he may have forced theirs. He details the "stunning level of evil" that led Iran to strike neutral countries and civilian hotels before their air protections were obliterated.   [00:08:16] – The $4 Million Missile Problem Tom Sawyer, CEO of Grand Sky, joins the show to discuss the logistical nightmare of "asymmetric warfare." He explains the unsustainable cost of using $4 million missiles to shoot down $25,000 mass-produced Iranian drones and how Grand Forks is becoming the epicenter for a solution.   [00:14:58] – Choking the Octopus Global security expert Michael Letts breaks down the strategic "checkmate" against China. By liberating Venezuela and striking Iran, the U.S. has effectively choked off China's primary oil reserves, forcing a global economic realignment.   [00:20:29] – The 118-Year Game A deep-dive analysis into the "British financial architecture" in the Middle East. Scott explores how the current strikes are not just about nukes, but about dismantling a century-old system of managed regional chaos profitable to the City of London.   [00:25:25] – The Masterclass in Resentment Robert F. Kennedy Jr. provides a surprising "masterclass" on dealing with critics, recounting a gym confrontation where he viewed a screaming protester as a "gift" from God to keep him humble.   [00:31:11] – Kristi Noem's DHS Bombshell Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem testifies before the Senate, revealing that the government under the previous administration was paying sponsors who were knowingly trafficking and abusing migrant…

Welcome to our deep dive into Mark Twain's literary masterpiece, The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. In this discussion, we unravel the layers of comedy, satire, and profound social commentary that make this novel not only a cornerstone of American literature but also an enduring tale that resonates with readers today. We are joined by Dr Kerry Soper, a professor at Brigham Young University, who writes a humor column for Utah Life magazine, and has a deep appreciation for comedy in all kinds of art forms.  We reference the introduction to The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn from the Penguin Random House UK printing edition, which was written by Peter Coveney in 1966. 1. Understanding Mark Twain:   Mark Twain, born Samuel LANGhorne Clemens (not Longhorne), was a complex figure who blended humor with serious social issues. His early life in Hannibal, Missouri, filled with adventure and mischief, heavily influenced his writing. Twain's pen name, meaning "two fathoms deep," reflects his ability to delve into deeper societal issues beneath a humorous exterior.   2. The Setting of Huckleberry Finn:   The novel is set along the Mississippi River, a backdrop that symbolizes freedom and adventure. Huck Finn, the protagonist, is an outsider, shaped by a turbulent family life, especially with his father being the town drunk. His decision to fake his own death to escape this life is a pivotal moment that sets the stage for his adventures with Jim, a runaway slave.   3. The Journey of Huck and Jim:   Huck and Jim's journey down the river is filled with comedic and dramatic encounters. Their friendship evolves through various trials, highlighting themes of friendship, loyalty, and the moral complexities surrounding slavery. The humor in their adventures often contrasts sharply with the serious issues they face, showcasing Twain's unique ability to blend comedy with critical social commentary.   4. The Role of Comedy and Satire:   Professor Kerry Soper emphasizes how Twain uses humor not just for entertainment but as a vehicle for satire. The comedic escapades of Huck and Jim serve to critique societal norms and racism. This stealth satire engages readers, making them laugh while prompting them to reflect on deeper moral truths.   5. Contrasting Characters:   The contrasting characters of Huck and Tom Sawyer further illustrate Twain's commentary on morality and heroism. While Tom embodies a romanticized view of adventure, Huck represents genuine moral integrity, often prioritizing Jim's humanity over societal expectations. This contrast enriches the narrative and invites readers to question the nature of heroism.   Mark Twain's The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn is more than just a story about a boy's adventures. It is a profound exploration of friendship, freedom, and the moral dilemmas that define humanity. The blend of humor and serious themes makes it a timeless classic that continues to resonate with readers. As we reflect on Huck's journey, we are reminded of the importance of empathy and moral courage in our own lives. Key Takeaways:   1. The novel showcases Twain's mastery of blending humor with serious social issues.   2. Huck's character highlights the importance of personal integrity over societal norms.   3. The journey down the Mississippi River serves as a metaphor for freedom and self-discovery.  4. Twain's use of satire prompts readers to reflect on moral complexities in society.

This week's edition Copeland's Corner, Brian is joined by comedians Hal Sparks, Cathy Ladman, and producer Tom Sawyer to discuss the controversial State of the Union address and current political landscape. The panel debates Democratic lawmakers' decision to boycott the speech, with Sparks arguing that diverse responses from Democrats reflect their broad coalition rather than disrespect. The conversation explores Trump's historically low approval ratings (26% with independents), mass deportation policies, immigration lies, and the disconnect between campaign promises and reality. They discuss the recently released Epstein files, congressional settlement disclosure proposals, and growing accountability movements both domestically and internationally. The panel also touches on Republican hypocrisy, MAGA's fracturing base, the role of propaganda machines, and predictions for the 2026 midterms. They debate potential 2028 matchups and what a Democratic Congress should prioritize. The episode concludes with lighter discussions about celebrity GoFundMe controversies and personal plugs for the panelists' upcoming shows. -- Connect with our Guests... #HalSparks - HalSparks.com & @HalSparks on Instagram #CathyLadman - Website  and @CathyLadman1 on Instagram   #TomSawyer - TomSawyerVoices.com   #StateOfTheUnion #PoliticalPodcast #Trump2025 #DemocraticResponse #EpsteinFiles #MAGA #Midterms2026 #Immigration  #Resist #Democracy #PoliticalDiscussion #BlueWave2026 #BrianCopeland #CopelandsCorner #HeadlinersOnTheHeadlines#CopelandUnfiltered #ComedyCommentary #PodcastersOfYouTube #ComicsOnAir #TalkPodcast#PoliticalHumor #PoliticalPodcast #HotTalkTopicsPodcast Hosted by the Bay Area's own Brian Copeland, a longtime Actor, Comedian, Author, Playwright, Television and Radio Personality.

"Was it a drone, or did the Pentagon just lose the remote to their giant laser?"Today on the show, we are joined by the legendary Tony Camin (The Marijuana-Logues), Emmy-winning filmmaker Nicole Boxer (The Invisible War), and the ultimate geek authority Blaine Capatch (Beat the Geeks) for a deep dive into the absolute circus that is February 2026.In this episode:• The Bondi Blowup: AG Pam Bondi testified today and it was… a lot. Between calling Jamie Raskin a "loser lawyer" and pivoting to the Stock Market when asked about the Epstein files, we break down why the DOJ is acting more like a PR firm for the Dow Jones than a law enforcement agency.• Super Bowl Saltiness: Why is the Right still in a tailspin over Bad Bunny? From Megyn Kelly's "Meatloaf Manifesto" to the TPUSA "All-American" halftime show fail, we look at why speaking Spanish in a US territory is the new front line of the culture war.• The El Paso "Laser" Mystery: Was the airport really shut down by cartel drones, or was it a Pentagon laser test gone rogue? We discuss the "distraction" theory and why the government promised a 10-day shutdown but opened the gates in four hours.• The Seditious Six Win: A DC Grand Jury just refused to indict Sens. Kelly and Slotkin for quoting the Constitution. Why does this administration keep taking massive "L's" in court, and is the "bullying" strategy finally hitting a wall of actual citizens?• Where is the Outrage? With the DOJ targeting veterans and the AG dodging Epstein survivors, we ask the panel: Why aren't Americans taking to the streets? Is it fear, or just extreme "outrage fatigue"?--Connect with our Guests...#BlaineCapatch - Nerd Poker Podcast#NicoleBoxer - @NicBoxer on Instagram#TonyCamin - Website: TonyCamin.com  and on Instagram @Tony.Camin#YayneAbeba - https://linktr.ee/yayneabeba#PamBondi #EpsteinFiles #BadBunny #SuperBowlLX #MarkKelly #ElPaso e#reaction #commentary #politicalcomedy #BrianCopeland #CopelandsCorner #HeadlinersOnTheHeadlines#CopelandUnfiltered #ComedyCommentary #PodcastersOfYouTube #ComicsOnAir #TalkPodcast#PoliticalHumor #PoliticalPodcast #HotTalkTopicsPodcast Hosted by the Bay Area's own Brian Copeland, a longtime Actor, Comedian, Author, Playwright, Television and Radio Personality.

What do the 40 most-played classic rock songs of 2025 say about our listening habits? We dive into the national radio data and find a universe powered by stadium anthems, late-70s polish, and 80s hooks, with Bon Jovi and Guns N' Roses dominating the top slots. Along the way, we weigh personal favorites against programming realities, marvel at why Crazy Train still feels underplayed, and ask the big question: how did an entire decade—the 60s—slip off the radar of “classic” rock radio?We move through the countdown with stories that make the rankings come alive. Journey's Separate Ways sparks a detour into a real arcade cabinet that blasted the song over the din of pinball halls. Dream On proves that timing can make a hit, not just songwriting. Paradise City's slow climb shows how long-tail momentum works. We connect radio staples like We Will Rock You, We Are the Champions, Tom Sawyer, and Summer of '69 to the places they still thrive: arenas, movies, and algorithm-friendly nostalgia loops.We spotlight Joan Jett's Bad Reputation and its punk-royalty cameos, the contested legacy of Ozzy's Shot in the Dark, and the enduring charge of Jane's Addiction's Ritual de lo Habitual, from the famous dog bark to the towering solo on Three Days.If classic rock to you includes Hendrix and The Who, or if your heart lives in late-80s power choruses, this one will challenge your map and maybe redraw it.

Their producer was David Z and their drummer a young Bobby "Z" Rivkin.Dayton moved to Fountain Hills, Arizona and formed the Dayton-Privett Band with Mark Prentice, Tom Sawyer and Ron Privett. After 2 years, Privett left the band, and was replaced with Dave Watson; the band was renamed High Noon Band and continued until the band went their separate ways. Dayton then formed the Jeff Dayton Band, and over time about 100 different musicians performed under that name with Dayton, notably steel guitarist Ed Black, guitarist Bob "Willard" Henke, Grammy award winner producer Michael B (aka Mike Broening), drummer Mickey McGee, banjo player Bruce Leland, drummer Merel Bregante, bassist Doug Haywood, etc.[1][15]High Noon won the Wrangler Country Showdown and the Jeff Dayton Band won the Marlboro Talent Roundup.
