Podcasts about Truman Capote

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for October 26, 2025 is: cognoscente • kahn-yuh-SHEN-tee • noun Cognoscente refers to a person with expert knowledge in a subject. It is usually encountered in its plural form, cognoscenti, and preceded by the. // The audience at the club, though small, was full of writers, musicians, and other noteworthy members of the jazz cognoscenti. See the entry > Examples: "Even as [Ray] Bradbury was embraced by the New York cognoscenti—traveling to the city in the fall of '46, drawing the attention of Truman Capote, meeting Gore Vidal, dancing with Carson McCullers at a Manhattan party—Mars beckoned. Yet he would not dare tell his New York associates, for fear of being laughed out of the room." — Sam Weller, LitHub.com, 28 Apr. 2025 Did you know? Cognoscente and connoisseur—both terms for those in the know—are more than synonyms; they're also linguistic cousins. Both terms descend from the Latin verb cognōscere, meaning "to know," and they're not alone. You might guess that cognizance and cognition are members of the cognōscere clan. Do you also recognize a family resemblance in recognize? Can you see through the disguise of incognito? Did you have a premonition that we would mention precognition? Cognoscente itself came to English by way of Italian and has been a part of the language since the late 1700s.

The Supreme Court has, over the past few years, opted to grant the federal government and the executive branch more and more leeway. On Today's Show:Emily Bazelon, staff writer for The New York Times Magazine, co-host of Slate's "Political Gabfest" podcast, Truman Capote fellow for creative writing and law at Yale Law School and author of Charged: The New Movement to Transform American Prosecution  and End Mass Incarceration (Random House, 2019) previews the cases the Supreme Court will take up in its new term, including a redistricting case they are hearing arguments on this week, and offers analysis of just how much presidential power the court will afford to President Trump in upcoming decisions.

Today, I'm thrilled to announce my interview with Tony winner and Emmy nominee Jesse Tyler Ferguson. Tune in to hear some of the stories of his legendary career, including how he booked his Broadway debut in ON THE TOWN during college, why it worked better at the Delacorte than on Broadway, starring in TAKE ME OUT just after the pandemic, the genesis of THE 25TH ANNUAL PUTNAM COUNTY SPELLING BEE, a real-life magical moment during THE TEMPEST, why FULLY COMMITTED appealed to him as a play to revive, how GRAND HORIZONS and LOG CABIN made a dream come true for him, finding movement in that show, coming to Hollywood as a stage actor, why he never had speaking roles growing up, doing Shakespeare in the Park and MODERN FAMILY simultaneously, being an out actor on Broadway and in Hollywood, the difficulty of his role in THE MERCHANT OF VENICE, his upcoming play about Truman Capote, and so much more. Don't miss this candid and hilarious conversation with a star of stage and screen.

This week we step back in time to the 1940s to meet the literary it-couple: Truman Capote and Jack Dunphy. Truman was the sharp-tongued genius and Jack existed in his shadow. So how did the socialite and the introverted novelist make it work for so long? This week, Chantal and Gráinne are joined by the brilliant Jen Ives to unpack the devotion, destruction and divine madness of Capote and Dunphy's decades together. Expect post-war passion, very posh best friends like Lee Radziwill and the Queen Mother, plus an emotional affair with a killer on death row.

Aujourdʹhui dans Travelling, un classique des classiques. Si je vous dis : une longue robe noire, un chignon relevé, un long porte-cigarette, une taille de brindille et le regard pétillant, vous aurez tout de suite en tête la silhouette longiligne dʹAudrey Hepburn qui incarne Holly Golightly dans Diamants sur canapé, Breakfast at Tiffanyʹs, une des silhouettes les plus célèbres du cinéma créé par le couturier français Hubert de Givenchy. Le film de Blake Edwards sort en 1961, adapté dʹune nouvelle de Truman Capote. Dans Diamants sur Canapé, Audrey Hepburn est splendide et mutine aux côtés de George Peppard, Mickey Rooney, Patricia Neal, et dʹun chat, cabotin comme pas deux. Lʹhistoire est celle dʹune coureuse de millionnaires et dʹun écrivain gigolo qui vont, après bien des péripéties, tomber amoureux. Mais le film est plus profond que cela. Sous le vernis et la comédie se cache une vraie désespérance, une quête du bonheur et de la sécurité matérielle et affective. Cʹest normal, cʹest du Blake Edwards et rien nʹest rose pour lui, à part peut-être sa panthère quʹil tournera juste après. Porté par sa musique composée par Henri Mancini, et pour laquelle il reçoit un Oscar en 1962, par sa comédienne, par son iconographie, Breakfast at Tiffanyʹs rencontre tout de suite un succès jamais démenti et entre dans la légende du cinéma en lançant lʹère des femmes libérées. Mais nous allons vous raconter tout ça.

“The first draft is absolute torture,” says historical nonfiction writer David Baron. And yet, he persists and his newest book, The Martians: The True Story of an Alien Craze that Captured Turn-of-the-Century America has garnered rave reviews from The New York Times, Wall Street Journal, The New Yorker and more. The Christian Science Monitor says, “The Martians is a fascinating tale that's beautifully told.” We speak with Baron about the joys of research, the agony of writing, the delight in rewriting, how imagination cuts both ways, and how Truman Capote's work has influenced his own. David Baron is an award-winning journalist, broadcaster, and author of The Beast in the Garden, American Eclipse and his latest book The Martians: The True Story of an Alien Craze that Captured Turn-of-the-Century America. A former science correspondent for NPR, he has also written for the New York Times, Washington Post, Wall Street Journal, Los Angeles Times, Scientific American, and other publications. David recently served as the Baruch S. Blumberg NASA/Library of Congress Chair in Astrobiology, Exploration, and Scientific Innovation. He lives in Boulder, Colorado. This is a public episode.

This week, we discuss two crime films from director Richard Brooks. The first is Looking for Mr. Goodbar, based on Judith Rossner's best-selling 1975 novel of the same title, which was inspired by the 1973 murder of New York City schoolteacher Roseann Quinn. The film stars Diane Keaton, Richard Gere and Tom Berenger. The second is In Cold Blood, based on Truman Capote's groundbreaking 1966 nonfiction novel. It stars Robert Blake and Scott Wilson as two down-and-out criminals who murder a family of four in small town Kansas.   Timestamps What we've been watching (00:00:25) – Weapons, Bring Her Back, Peacemaker season one and two, The Northman, Inception, Forgetting Sarah Marshall, Horizon: An American Saga - Chapter 1, Licorice Pizza, Alien: Earth season one Looking for Mr. Goodbar (00:27:20) In Cold Blood (00:54:50) Coin toss (01:13:15)   Links Instagram - @callitfriendopodcast @munnywales @andyjayritchie   Letterboxd – @andycifpod @fat-tits mcmahon   Justwatch.com – streaming and rental links - https://www.justwatch.com

Send us a textThe final individual in this podcast miniseries about great literary figures who had a form of epilepsy deals with Truman Capote, and while he is listed among famous writers who had epilepsy, there's no indication that he depicted characters with epilepsy or seizures in his fictional works. As I hope you know by now, writers such as Fyodor Dostoevsky, for example, are known to have integrated their experience with epilepsy into their characters and narratives. However, for Capote, the information primarily points to his personal health struggles, not literary creations.Regarding the role of seizures/epilepsy in his later life, it's a significant and unfortunately tragic part of his story. Truman Capote suffered from seizures, and this health issue was compounded by his severe struggles with alcohol and drug abuse.Support the showThank you for experiencing Celebrate Creativity.

In this offbeat edition of Word ,Balloon's SCENE MISSING  Gabriel Hardman and I peel back the curtain on the gloriously chaotic making of Beat the Devil (1953), the cult classic that blended noir, comedy, and adventure long before it was fashionable.With a script co-written on the fly by Truman Capote, a sardonic performance from Humphrey Bogart, and the directing flair of John Huston, Beat the Devil was a film where nearly nothing went according to plan—and that's exactly what makes it legendary. We dig into the behind-the-scenes madness: from Bogart breaking his teeth in a car crash and dubbing lines with a lisp, to Capote allegedly writing pages each morning just before they were filmed.Shot on location in Italy with a freewheeling cast of characters—including Gina Lollobrigida, Robert Morley, and Peter Lorre—this film defied studio expectations and genre conventions. Whether you see it as a brilliant satire or an accidental masterpiece, Beat the Devil remains a time capsule of mid-century moviemaking gone delightfully rogue. Join us as we celebrate the charming chaos and unlikely alchemy that brought it to life.

In this chilling episode of Stuttering in Silence, Matt and Gavin unravel one of America's most haunting true crime cases—the brutal 1959 slaying of the Clutter family in Holcomb, Kansas. What started as a supposed robbery turned into a senseless and calculated murder that shook the nation. We explore the twisted minds of Perry Smith and Richard Hickock, the flawed plan that led to tragedy, and how Truman Capote's In Cold Blood forever changed the way we tell true crime stories. This isn't just a murder story—it's the tale of how innocence was stolen from a small town overnight.

In this episode of The Guilty Files: True Crime Uncovered, Brian takes us back to the heartland of America—Holcomb, Kansas—where one of the most chilling and senseless mass murders in U.S. history occurred. On the night of November 15, 1959, four members of the Clutter family were brutally murdered in their own home, sending shockwaves through a tight-knit farming community and eventually capturing the nation's attention.Brian lays out the cold, hard facts of the case—from the meticulous planning by ex-convicts Perry Smith and Richard Hickock, to the terrifying final hours of Herbert, Bonnie, Nancy, and Kenyon Clutter. We follow the timeline of events that led up to the murders, the aftermath that devastated the town, and the cross-country manhunt that brought the killers to justice.You'll hear about the calculated cruelty behind the crime, the seemingly motiveless brutality, and the forensic and investigative work that cracked the case wide open.Brian also touches on how this horrific story caught the eye of author Truman Capote, who would later immortalize it in his genre-defining nonfiction novel In Cold Blood.This episode is a sobering look at the violence that can lurk behind a calm exterior—and a stark reminder that no place, no matter how peaceful, is ever truly safe from evil.Content Warning: This episode contains detailed descriptions of a home invasion and the murder of multiple family members, including a minor.

In this haunting episode of The Guilty Files: Rewired, Dani pulls back the layers of the infamous Clutter family murders—not just to revisit the crime, but to reimagine the emotional and psychological shockwave it left behind.This isn't a retelling of the facts—that's already been done.Instead, Dani dives deep into the psyche of Perry Smith and Richard Hickock, the two drifters whose fractured paths led them to one brutal night in Holcomb, Kansas. What made them tick? How did childhood trauma, cycles of poverty, and a hunger for significance culminate in the cold-blooded execution of a family they'd never met?But the story doesn't end there. Dani also explores the impact of Truman Capote's In Cold Blood—how it blurred the lines between journalism and narrative, empathy and exploitation. Was Capote shining a light on the forgotten corners of the justice system, or was he romanticizing killers for the sake of literary fame?Through speculative storytelling, psychological analysis, and a few chilling “what ifs,” Dani rewires this case with fresh questions:What if someone had intervened in Perry's youth?What if the Clutters had never opened their door that night?What if In Cold Blood had never been written?This episode reimagines the Clutter murders not just as a crime—but as a mirror reflecting the fragility of safety, the failings of society, and the cost of trying to humanize the inhumane.Content Warning: Contains discussion of murder, trauma, and speculative depictions of violence.

MaryAnn, Rebbeca, and Ellis discuss the book of the month, “Breakfast at Tiffany’s by Truman Capote. They compared the book to the movie, and Audre Hepburn’s classical portrayal of Holly Golightly. Ellis shares that the book is actually an anthology of short stories.

Este verano recordamos siete vidas de personajes célebres que pasaron una temporada en España. Y empezamos por Truman Capote, que escribió "A sangre fría" en Palamós, en la Costa Brava. ¿Cómo pudo inspirarse para una historia tan fría y dura en un paisaje tan cálido y acogedor? El periodista Marius Carol, autor de "El hombre del pijama de seda", sobre aquel momento de la vida de Capote, explica que aquello fue más bien una huida. 

Seguimos la primera semana veraniega con presentaciones, estrenamos la sección Aprender a mirar, en la que cada semana traemos a un experto para que nos ayude a fijarnos en el detalle de las cosas que nos rodean. Hoy salimos a la terraza con el arquitecto Carlos Lamela para ver que nos cuentan los edificios y las calles de la ciudad. Además, retomamos Maximalismos y empezamos fuerte planteando cuál es la mejor edad. Seguimos simplificándonos la vida con Paloma Pou que para empezar no da lo básico de Orden y Organización. En 7 vidas, Truman Capote a través de la mirada del periodista y escritor Marius Carol. Y por último, Uno de cada con Gema J. Maldonado conoceremos los términos, memes y eventos canónicos de la generación Z.

You know the book. You know the movie. But do you know the Broadway musical that lasted just three days? In the mid-1960s, producer David Merrick (the notorious "Abominable Showman") had a glittering vision: transform Truman Capote's beloved Breakfast at Tiffany's into a Broadway musical. He assembled a dream team: beloved TV star Mary Tyler Moore as Holly Golightly, heartthrob Richard Chamberlain, and legendary director Abe Burrows. What could go wrong? Almost everything. In this episode, we unravel the chaotic, star-studded saga of Breakfast at Tiffany's. From disastrous out-of-town tryouts and frantic rewrites to a rough stint on the road before trying to make it to Broadway, this is the story of a glamorous failure that became one of the most infamous flops in theater history. Discover how a show with every ingredient for success spiraled into a legendary disaster that nearly derailed the careers of its leading stars. --- Theme music created by Blake Stadnik.

On this episode, Tony Brueski digs into one of the most chilling and iconic crime scenes in American history: the Clutter House in Holcomb, Kansas. What began as a shocking multiple homicide in 1959 became a cultural touchstone through Truman Capote's In Cold Blood—and has since taken on a darker legacy. Locals and visitors alike have whispered about strange sounds, cold spots, and eerie feelings in the very rooms where the Clutter family met their tragic end.   But are these the echoes of restless spirits—or the lingering trauma of a town that never truly healed? From psychological theories to EVP recordings, Tony Brueski explores the intersection of true crime and the paranormal in this unsettling deep dive into the house that refuses to be forgotten.

Locals and visitors alike have whispered about strange sounds, cold spots, and eerie feelings in the very rooms where the Clutter family met their tragic end.   But are these the echoes of restless spirits—or the lingering trauma of a town that never truly healed? From psychological theories to EVP recordings, Tony Brueski explores the intersection of true crime and the paranormal in this unsettling deep dive into the house that refuses to be forgotten.
