Paulo and Dori come to you from a secret German bunker — The Hoff is down here, and so are Nena and Alphaville.But after this show, we don't think we'll be so big in Berlin.We right some wrongs from last week's show, which includes more sexy sax music than we remember — and dead gnomes.How many '80s movies were made on cocaine? The easier question is: how many weren't?We find out how Bill Murray made Hunter S. Thompson look silly, why Paulo hates City of Angels, and what happens when you slow down Kylie Minogue.Finally, we're voting for our favourite '80s ballad, and Paulo is tempted to give it to an animated cat.Jump To: St. Elmo's Fire Soundtrack & Saxophone Debate (00:03:07): https://youtu.be/rgYkL_V1pmE?si=XcyHJyKjjs0BEQOLDawie Die Kabouter and Gnome Deaths (00:09:58): https://www.reddit.com/r/todayilearned/comments/54d5zo/til_that_the_last_episode_of_the_80s_kids_cartoon/Timelessness of Back to the Future (00:14:20): https://www.theguardian.com/film/2025/jul/03/back-to-the-future-at-40Movies Fuelled by Cocaine (00:16:29): https://www.cracked.com/article_47203_23-movies-brought-to-you-mostly-by-cocaine.htmlWings of Desire: Plot and Differences from City of Angels (00:30:13): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=liAOEb5rnbAPaulo's Movie Review: Where the Buffalo Roam (00:37:52): https://youtu.be/_ZT6fziaIIw?si=p2mPbBCafjoICDd4Rick Astley's Song Choices and an 80s Conspiracy (00:44:04): https://www.theguardian.com/music/2025/jul/06/rick-astley-honest-playlist-kylie-donna-summer-biffy-clyro-abbahttps://youtu.be/N40qlumASq4?si=mJiTjWtvxWjoZsVRBBC 80s Duet Countdown (00:48:09): https://www.bbc.com/mediacentre/2025/bbc-radio-2-ultimate-80s-duet#1980s pop culture, #St. Elmo's Fire, #saxophone music, #Berlin Wall, #David Hasselhoff, #German culture, #corrections, #podcast, #nostalgia, #Back to the Future, #Bob Gale, #Game of Thrones, #The White Lotus, #incest in media, #cultural norms, #Wings of Desire, #Wim Wenders, #City of Angels, #black and white film, #Nick Cave, #Hunter S.

The day the world stopped to listen. July 13, 1985 stands as a pivotal moment when music transcended entertainment to become a global force for humanitarian change. Live Aid connected London's Wembley Stadium and Philadelphia's JFK Stadium through groundbreaking satellite technology, reaching nearly 2 billion viewers.What made Live Aid revolutionary wasn't just its scale but its immediacy. Unlike Woodstock or other historic concerts we experience through curated footage, Live Aid happened in real-time before our eyes. From Status Quo kicking off with "Rockin' All Over The World" to the "We are the World" finale, we witnessed music history unfiltered—technical glitches, microphone failures, and all. This raw authenticity created an unprecedented shared global experience.The performances ranged from career-defining triumphs to disappointing reunions. U2 transformed from cult favorites to superstars with their electrifying 11-minute rendition of "Bad," featuring Bono's spontaneous rescue of a fan from the crushing crowd. Queen delivered what many consider rock's greatest live performance, with Freddie Mercury commanding 72,000 people like a conductor before his orchestra. Phil Collins made the impossible happen—performing in London, flying on the Concorde to New York, and helicoptering to Philadelphia to play with Eric Clapton and Led Zeppelin all in the same day.Beyond raising millions for Ethiopian famine relief, Live Aid fundamentally changed how we understand music's potential impact. It created the blueprint for benefit concerts that continues today, proving that artists could mobilize massive global action. Four decades later, in our fragmented media landscape, Live Aid's achievement seems even more remarkable—a singular moment when music united humanity across continents, cultures, and borders for a cause greater than ourselves.Music in My Shoes" where music and memories intertwine.Learn Something New orRemember Something OldPlease like and follow the Music in my Shoes Facebook and Instagram pages and share the podcast with friends on your social media.

It’s a celebration of the 40th anniversary of Live Aid! Live Aid was grand in scope and ambition. It was largely the brainchild of an unlikely hero, Bob Geldof, the Irish singer who fronted The Boomtown Rats, and who had helped assemble the all-star cast of Band Aid. Watched by 1.5 billion people, Live Aid eventually raised $127 US million for famine relief in Africa. But beyond that, Live Aid was also a cultural touchstone that showed the power of pop music and the determination of millions of people to make a difference in the world. Hours before the event took place, Christopher Ward had a chat with organizer Bob Geldof, who, in his intense way, told of the importance of Live Aid. He disputes the cultural significance in favour of the pragmatic view of delivering much needed aid to African famine relief. It’s an extraordinary interview with a man who is firing on all cylinders, almost to the breaking point. And of course, we also talk about the music, including: Although Geldof didn’t want them in the lineup, Freddie Mercury and the band provided the most memorable 22 minutes of the day, perhaps the best ever performance in music history. U2 – We have the full story of why they played only two songs that day… and how it became a major moment on their road to superstardom. David Bowie’s set was also memorable. But he almost didn’t play that day. And it was all because of a CBC report on the famine. We have the full story. Duran Duran. Simon LeBon made a considerable gaffe during one of their songs. He considers it the most embarrassing moment of his career. Led Zeppelin - why Jimmy Page blamed Phil Collins for Zeppelin’s less than perfect performance. There were also a number of artists who chose not to perform that day, including Bruce Springsteen, Michael Jackson, Prince, Culture Club and Huey Lewis. At least two of those acts regretted that decision. And we talk about the importance of Live Aid as a cultural milestone. Famous Lost Words, hosted by Christopher Ward and Tom Jokic, is heard in more than 100 countries worldwide and on radio stations across Canada, including Newstalk 1010 Toronto, CJAD 800 Montreal, 580 CFRA Ottawa, AM 800 CKLW Windsor, 610 CKTB St Catharines, CFAX Victoria, AM1150 Kelowna and 91x in Belleville. It is in the Top 20% of worldwide podcasts based on the number of listeners in the first week.

Baz Richards and Jess Contos talk with Peter Straker about his life in music and recalling Live Aid and his friendship with Freddie Mercury.

Welcome back to another Trve. Cvlt. Pop! it's the polyjamorous... nah, it's not... it's a music podcast.On this week's show, Sam is here and we look at the slew of music biopics that have been released over the last couple of decades, and show no sign of stopping, and ask; why are they so bad?From a shy Freddie Mercury with awful false teeth to a mockney Amy Winehouse getting blamed for her drug addiction, music biopics almost universally miss the entire purpose of what made their intended subject matter so special, and instead rely on cliches, formulaic structures, surface level performances and watered down versions of events.Here, we look at the problems with the genre, what can be done to improve them, what we fear is coming next and a couple of our own pitches that Hollywood might just want to consider picking up.There's also some new music recommendations and a lost banger from the past by Oxidde and Neutrino to chat about.

Pilar García Muñiz arranca La Tarde con la mirada puesta en la DANA que ya está dejando lluvias intensas y alerta naranja en el norte de España. También recuerda el 40º aniversario del Live Aid, aquel concierto histórico donde Freddie Mercury unió a miles con su voz, demostrando que la música se siente y se comparte. Además examina la pista definitiva del famoso asesino en serie conocido como “Jack el Destripador”.

Los que aparecen 1) Mudo: Cuando en vos habita la mudez implica que hay cosas que no hablas por miedo o porque no sabes cómo expresar. Es necesario sacar lo que hay en el interior porque puede llegar a pudrir tu vida y tu relación con el exterior. Todo lo que se habla tiene solución y todo lo que se calla puede llevar a una depresión. Es importante expresar lo que te pasa, como incluso hacen algunos artistas que ponen en arte lo que les sucede. Un ejemplo puede ser Freddie Mercury, quien en su canción “Bohemian Rhapsody” pone todo lo que pasa en su interior y su crisis con el mundo. Expresar lo que te pasa puede calmarte y también ayudar a otros. 2) La multitud: La gente siempre verá tu éxito, pero le costará ver tus fracasos o tu trabajo para lograr lo que has logrado. Por tanto no dejes que la gente sea tu medidor de vida más bien tu vida va más allá de lo que te mida la gente. 3) Fariseos: En el ámbito de lo religioso nos encontramos con gente difícil que todo te cuestiona y hasta crea un Dios cuestionador. Por eso, no dejes que te enferme cierta gente religiosa que te quiere reglamentar tu vida o simplemente que seas un mero cumplidor de normas, olvidando lo esencial de la vida cristiana y espiritual. Busca las cosas que te mueven a Cristo y recordá que los pilares de tu vida cristiana son la Eucaristía y la Palabra. Que tu vida espiritual sea un motivador de llevar a Cristo y no que te motiven los meros cumplidos. Algo bueno está por venir.

Wael Sawan is de ceo van Shell, maar het is vooral een buitenstaander die nóg meer invloed heeft op het bedrijf. Door het onrustige beleid van een regeringsleider moet Shell beleggers waarschuwen. De inkomsten gaan in het tweede kwartaal tegenvallen. Deze aflevering hoor je waar Shell last van heeft en of dat gevolgen gaat hebben voor het dividend en de rest van de cadeautjes waar Shell beleggers mee paait. Spoiler: de plaaggeest van Shell ziet er oranje uit en woont in een wit huis.Verder bespreken we de nieuwe problemen van Philips. China stelt namelijk importbeperkingen in tegen medische apparatuur uit de EU. En dat is nu net wat Philips in China wil verkopen.Ook komen de tarieven van Trump voorbij. De deadline (waarop landen een akkoord moeten bereiken met de VS) ligt op aanstaande woensdag. Die wordt nu verlengd naar 1 augustus. Een nieuwe deadline, die we van team-Trump dan weer géén nieuwe deadline mogen noemen.Trump wil de naam van Elon Musk ook niet meer noemen, maar hij komt er niet onderuit. Musk richt een nieuwe partij op. Trump noemt hem een 'train wreck' en dat vinden Tesla-beleggers ook. De beurskoers krijgt opnieuw klappen.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Little Richard was rock ‘n' roll's flamboyant architect. Lesley Gore sang that no one owned her. Sylvester was a gender-fluid icon who helped define disco. Freddie Mercury made rock operatic, and George Michael demanded freedom. What all of these LGBTQ artists had in common was bold hitmaking—and fear of being fully out of the closet. For decades, queer acts topped the charts while cloaking their true identities and paving the way for today's more openly queer stars. For Pride Month, join Chris Molanphy as he traces the hidden history of queer hitmakers on the charts—including those that managed to be both out and No. 1, right up through our modern age of Lil Nas X and Chappell Roan.

“Bohemian Rhapsody” is widely regarded as one of rock's all-time greatest songs, despite breaking just about every rule of what a hit single is supposed to be. In this Throwback Thursday episode (originally aired August 15th, 2022), Chris and Chris dive deep into Freddie Mercury's six-minute masterpiece—dissecting the song's bold arrangement, ambitious production, and soaring dynamics. They go beyond the surface to unpack the opera section's lyrics, revealing layers of meaning that most listeners likely never realized. From the a cappella intro to the explosive finale, it's a detailed tribute to Queen's genre-blurring classic.

An episode that didn't just think outside the box—it questioned why there's a box in the first place!In Episode 143 of The Autistic Culture Podcast, Dr Angela Kingdon continues our journey through the 10 Pillars of Autistic Culture as we move onto Pillar 6 — Game Changing Innovation. Autistic innovation isn't about trends or flash. It's about paradigm shifts. It's about seeing what no one else is looking for, hyperfocusing on what matters, and rebuilding the world, system by system.Dr Angela looks deep into the game-changing transformations developed by Autistic game changers, such as Sir Isaac Newton, who invented Calculus, Sir Richard Branson's out-of-the-box business models, and Angela's father's innovations in creating build-your-own Hot Rod kit cars.Here's what defines this core Autistic trait:* Autistic people challenge assumptions, not to be difficult, but because we can see the assumptions in the first place.* Neurodivergent people innovate through sensory truth, emotional intensity, and process precision.* Autistic people don't disrupt the status quo to seek attention. We disrupt because the system doesn't make sense, and we can't unsee that.* Game changers in autistic culture often challenge capitalist efficiency with a call for meaning, integrity, and alignment.* Many autistic innovators aren't seen as leaders until the world catches up to their vision.* Historical and modern change agents in autistic culture often operate without blueprints, forging their own.Key Concepts:* Game-changing is not about chasing disruption for its own sake. It's about building entirely new paradigms based on noticing what others overlook.* Autistic game changers are pattern-breakers and system rewriters — not trend-followers.* Our deep focus and drive for autonomy let us find wholly new approaches to enduring problems.* Emotional intensity and sensory insights fuel world-building innovation.* It's often misunderstood or resisted because the new paradigm doesn't fit existing frameworks.

Before the internet, it was reasonably easy to just disappear. Get a fake ID, leave the country with some cash, and you were gone. These kinds of mysteries can also be found in the world of music; artists who disappear without a trace…and I'm not talking about musicians who retired and then become recluses…there are plenty of those. We haven't seen much of Steve Perry since he left Journey…he's very much alive but isn't interested in being famous anymore…Syd Barrett tripped out on too much LSD, got fired from Pink Floyd, and was rarely seen by anyone until he died of cancer in 2006…John Deacon of Queen gave up his music career after Freddie Mercury died…we haven't seen anything of him. Then there are the musicians who disappeared involuntarily…one day they were here and the next day, they were just gone…and this has happened a lot more than you may realize. This is episode 43 of “Uncharted: Crime and Mayhem in the Music Industry”…and the next of this program is “Missing and Presumed Dead”. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Nothing can beat a charismatic frontman. Then again, there are some Side Players that give them a run for their money. I mean… who is Bono without Edge? Freddie Mercury without Brian May? Roth or Haggar without Eddie Van Halen? Robert Plant without Jimmy Page? Anthony Kiedis without John Frusciante? Bon Scott or Brian Johnson without Angus & Malcolm? Or Mick Jagger without Keith Richards.Of course I would be remiss not to mention the few charismatic Frontmen that are also ripping guitarists. Like Brad Paisley, Keith Urban, John Mayer, Jimi Hendrix, Either of the Vaughn Brothers, Derek Trucks, Prince, Eric Clapton, Chet Atkins, Mark Knopfler, Vince Gill… and lets just say ALL of the Kings.But which is it better to be, a Frontman or a Side Player? Can you be both? Which carries more stress? Which carries more fame? Does one roll have more significance than the other? Who has the bigger influence on the sound? If we could give some advice, what would it be? When I think of a band, which member  comes to mind? And… job security… did I just get fired?Well we will discuss this, and more on this group therapy session with Lloyd, on the Tweed Couch.

Little Richard was rock ‘n' roll's flamboyant architect. Lesley Gore sang that no one owned her. Sylvester was a gender-fluid icon who helped define disco. Freddie Mercury made rock operatic, and George Michael demanded freedom. What all of these LGBTQ artists had in common was bold hitmaking—and fear of being fully out of the closet. For decades, queer acts topped the charts while cloaking their true identities and paving the way for today's more openly queer stars. For Pride Month, join Chris Molanphy as he traces the hidden history of queer hitmakers on the charts—including those that managed to be both out and No. 1, right up through our modern age of Lil Nas X and Chappell Roan. It's a celebration of these artists' quest to feel… mighty real. Get more Hit Parade with Slate Plus!

Few rock bands have had a greater global impact than Queen. The British act, whose core line-up included Brian May, Roger Taylor, John Deacon, and absolutely iconic frontman Freddie Mercury – emerged from scrappy prog-rock band in the early 1970s, to pop-rock superstars in the late 70s, to arena-rock gods in the 1980s, selling out shows on almost every continent. Queen's Greatest Hits album from 1981 remains the best-selling album in United Kingdom history, and as of late 2024, has spent more than 600 weeks on the United States Billboard 200. Queen's set at 1985's Live Aid concert at Wembley Stadium is regarded as one of the greatest rock performances of all time. While Queen's golden age ended with the tragic death of Mercury in 1990, its legacy lives on more than 30 years later, and if there is any justice, will never diminish. So join us as the Great Pop Culture Debate attempts to name the Best Queen Single of all time. Songs discussed: “Bohemian Rhapsody,” “Another One Bites the Dust,” “Don't Stop Me Now,” “Under Pressure,” “Radio Ga Ga,” “We Are the Champions,” “Crazy Little Thing Called Love,” “Somebody to Love,” “Killer Queen,” “Fat-Bottomed Girls,” “I Want to Break Free,” “Bicycle Race,” “You're My Best Friend,” “I Want It All,” “Flash,” “The Show Must Go On.” Join host Eric Rezsnyak, GPCD panelists Derek Mekita and Zack Derby, and special guest John Higgins, archivist and legacy consultant for Sir Elton John, as they discuss and debate 16 of the most revered songs by iconic rock band, Queen.

Who is this Dan Orlando guy? And why is his album so good?!It's episode No. 100 - featuring Philadelphia-area piano-playing singer-songwriter & lead singer Dan Orlando! Dan takes us through his musical journey and we break down the songs & the making of his thrilling debut LP Heritage Trail. Dan makes no bones about where he sets his sights."I do feel like there is a closed highway - that if someone can access it, there is an appetite for another 'Piano Man,'" Dan said in our conversation. "I've always chased that ambition and I haven't been shy about it. I think I'm the next 'Piano Man.'"Download Heritage Trail and Dan's other releases and see for yourself why audiences are taking notice - and why they may be hungry for a hero in this genre.Visit Dan's web site for Dan's live schedule, merch & more. Follow him on social media - @danorlandojrhttps://danorlandojr.com/"In addition to his solo career, Dan is the lead singer of The Lords of 52nd Street, a band featuring original members of the Billy Joel band, which tours across the Northeast. His exceptional talent led him to the prestigious University of Cincinnati's College-Conservatory of Music, where he graduated with a bachelor's degree in jazz piano. Here, he drew inspiration from artists like Keane and Coldplay, admiring their ability to prominently feature piano in a way that resonates with everyday listeners.Dan's exceptional talent led him to the prestigious University of Cincinnati's College-Conservatory of Music, where he graduated with a bachelor's degree in jazz piano. Here, he drew inspiration from artists like Keane and Coldplay, admiring their ability to feature piano prominently in a way that resonated with everyday listeners. Additionally, he idolized Freddie Mercury of Queen for his dynamic stage presence and vocal prowess, while the soulful sounds of Stevie Wonder and Marvin Gaye shaped his musical style.Blessed with perfect pitch and a multi-octave vocal range, Dan has been a professional musician for nearly half of his life. Music is the most honest form of expression for Dan. He often says he gets his emotions out much more clearly through music than through words or body language.Growing up in West Grove, Pennsylvania, Dan's musical journey began early. He knew Mozart before he knew his ABCs and loved his afternoon piano lessons. A pivotal moment came when he discovered Elton John's Goodbye Yellow Brick Road in his father's CD collection. A lightbulb went off! He didn't know piano could rock.Today, Dan's unique blend of pop, rock, R&B, and balladry connects with fans of every genre and generation. His goal is to create music with a timeless quality that people of his generation can't wait to show their grandkids someday.In 2016, Dan stepped into the national spotlight, performing at the “Power of Love” 20th Anniversary Gala, celebrating Tony Bennett's 90th Birthday at the MGM Grand in Las Vegas. As part of an all-star lineup, Dan took the stage with American Idol Season 6 winner Jordin Sparks to sing a medley of Bennett's hits. He has also supported headliners like Andrea Bocelli, Kenny “Babyface” Edmonds, Robin Thicke, and the Blues Brothers."Thanks for listening, subscribing & telling a friend about the Dan Time Podcast!

Welcome to our podcast where we discuss and deliberate over memoirs and biographies found in thrift shops. This is a great way to do things as we are not choosing who to read about. We may not be fans of the person, we may never have heard of the person and we never know who we are going to find next...There are only 2 rules to this podcast. The book has to be found in a thrift shop and we are not allowed to talk about the book until we press record, which is sometimes agonising.We have lots of episodes coming up so if you find yourself enjoying our podcast, please be sure to subscribe to be among the first to hear about each episode.

Have you heard of Bryan Johnson – tech centimillionaire turned longevity evangelist? He made headlines when he started getting infusions of his own son's blood as a part of his quest to live forever. And he turned that quest into "Don't Die," a movement he's calling a religion. Johnson is pretty intent on longevity – but he's not the only one. Other tech magnates are bought in, too. But in the words of Freddie Mercury, who wants to live forever, and why? What does all of this have to do with the prediction of an AI takeover, and what does this mean for how we think about what's "human?" Brittany is joined by journalists Michelle Santiago Cortes and Tara Isabella Burton to get into what might be a new religion of longevity.Learn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
