When two podcasts collide, the conversation gets wild — and that's exactly what happened when Mike Abrams of The Wrong Cat Died joined me for this crossover episode with actor Ian Knauer. We cover Ian's journey through Broadway, the West End, regional theater, and even his time performing on Disney Cruise Line. Along the way, Ian shares the perseverance it took to finally land Cats after years of auditioning, what it was like stepping into the role of Jafar at sea, and how those experiences shaped his career both onstage and off. Of course, with Mike in the room, we couldn't resist diving headfirst into the eternal Cats debate — was Grizabella really the right choice, or did the wrong cat die? Ian makes a compelling case for Old Deuteronomy, and things only get livelier from there. From cruise ship lore to Broadway memories to a game of “Did the Wrong Cat Die?” reimagined with iconic stage and screen deaths, this episode is equal parts thoughtful and hilarious. Ian Knauer's career spans Broadway (Anastasia), the West End (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels), national tours, regional theater (Cats, White Christmas), and concert and film appearances. A University of Michigan graduate, he has also performed with Disney Cruise Line as a Broadway guest artist, where he delighted audiences as Jafar in Aladdin and beyond.

1. The Experience Machine: How Our Minds Predict and Shape Reality by Andy Clark, presents a groundbreaking theory that our minds are fundamentally "prediction machines" that actively forecast and shape reality, rather than merely passively receiving sensory information. Perception, Clark explains, is a dynamic interplay between the brain's internal expectations and incoming sensory input. This process is so powerful that strong predictions can even lead to "hallucinations," as demonstrated by the "White Christmas" experiment where participants confidently "heard" Bing Crosby's song in pure white noise when they expected it. Clark emphasizes a key physiological insight: information flowing from the brain "downward" towards the senses far outnumbers the sensory information flowing "inward" (a ratio of approximately 4:1). This suggests the brain primarily predicts what it expects to encounter at the sense organs, then adjusts its models based on any "prediction errors" that arise from actual sensory input. This active inference model means that our mind is constantly seeking to minimize these errors, not just by internal adjustments but also by taking actions in the world (e.g., moving for a better view, checking a dog's reaction) to confirm or correct its predictions. Our perceptions are thus deeply rooted in past experiences and project into the future, anticipating the outcomes of our actions. A significant implication of this predictive framework is the concept of the "extended mind," where our cognitive processes are not confined to the skull but extend to incorporate tools (like an iPhone) and even other beings (such as a pet dog like Sailor). The example of MIGO the orangutan using a stick to probe water depth illustrates how animals take actions to reduce uncertainty and error in achieving their goals, similar to how humans use the internet to find movie times. Clark applies this "prediction machine" model to understand various conditions: • Autism Spectrum Condition is characterized by an "overweighting" of sensory information relative to predictions, making it harder to discern faint patterns (like facial gestures) and causing noisy environments to be uncomfortable. • PTSD appears to involve a "very, very strong response to unexpected negative information," where certain brains are more susceptible to this intense reaction following traumatic events. • Depression, a complex condition, is linked to impaired bodily predictions (e.g., misjudging future energy needs) and a diminished "value of positive information," hindering one's ability to improve mood through positive expectations. The book also explores the integration of mind and body, asserting that internal bodily predictions (e.g., heart rate, energy levels) profoundly influence our external perceptions, a phenomenon shown by experiments where false cardiac feedback alters facial perception. Clark extends the notion of sentience beyond humans, arguing that it is widely shared among animals, including dogs, as they also bring predictions to bear on their experiences and learn from their histories. Emotions, rather than being separate brain circuits, are seen as "reflections of the bodily element of the prediction machine in action," acting as "markers" of how successfully the brain is minimizing prediction error. Ultimately, The Experience Machine suggests that by understanding the mind's active, predictive nature, we can better appreciate consciousness, address cognitive challenges, and harness the power of expectation (as seen in the placebo effect) to influence well-being, albeit with clear limits on curing major diseases.

"EDITH HEAD: OLD HOLLYWOOD'S QUEEN OF FASHION" (093) EPISODE 93 -  6/23/25 With eight Academy Awards to her name — more than any other woman in history — EDITH HEAD wasn't just a costume designer; she was a storyteller in fabric, silhouette, and sparkle. From BETTE DAVIS to GRACE KELLY to AUDREY HEPBURN, she dressed the biggest stars of the silver screen, leaving an indelible mark on both fashion and film. In this episode, we explore how a shy schoolteacher became the most powerful woman in Hollywood wardrobes, her collaborations with iconic directors like Alfred Hitchcock, and how her designs helped shape characters, define eras, and influence fashion far beyond the studio lot. So, slip into something fabulous, and let's step behind the curtain into the life and legacy of the great Edith Head.

With 6 Tony Awards, 2 Olivier Awards, a Grammy® and thousands of standing ovations, ‘CHICAGO' truly is “SUPERB” (Daily Telegraph). Set amidst the razzle-dazzle decadence of the 1920s, CHICAGO is the story of Roxie Hart, a housewife and nightclub dancer who murders her on-the-side lover after he threatens to walk out on her. Desperate to avoid conviction, she dupes the public, the media and her rival cellmate, Velma Kelly, by hiring Chicago's slickest criminal lawyer to transform her malicious crime into a barrage of sensational headlines, the likes of which might just as easily be ripped from today's tabloids. Created by the musical theatre talents of John Kander, Fred Ebb and legendary choreographer Bob Fosse, ‘it's sexy, sassy score with one show-stopping song after another includes “Razzle Dazzle”, “Cell Block Tango”, and “All That Jazz”.

The boys drink and review a robust porter then discuss "abusive empathy."Abusive empathy is when you turn empathy into a weapon or a tool to manipulate.Some examples would include ...* Telling college age kids they're too fragile to face other views* Passing kids to the next grade rather than hurting their feelings* Prioritizing emotions over facts* Infantilizing people rather than allowing them to become strong* Silencing dissent by labeling other opinions as cruel or unfeelingIt's similar to the Jungian concept of the "devouring mother," where mom protects the kids from the natural consequences of their actions, doesn't allow them to face struggle or failure, in an effort to keep them dependent.Examples in media would include Danny Kaye in White Christmas, or Eddie Haskall in Leave it to Beaver.Then the boys entertain a question from a listener about whether Elon should apologize for his alleged "Nazi salute," which leads to a discussion about when an apology is appropriate.Which in turn leads to a discussion of the social media meme that "no matter how much you hate the media, you don't hate them enough."

This is a Grave Talks CLASSIC EPISODE! On Christmas Day, 1929, the lives of an entire family came to an end.  After eating Christmas lunch, Charlie Lawson murdered his entire family. Shotguns, rifles, and bodies bludgeoned with blunt objects were all found amongst the carnage of the murder scene. The events would shock and disturb everyone in the community, leaving them with more questions than answers. What led this man to take the lives of his supposed loved ones on a day that was typically reserved for family and celebration? Was there something dark at play that drove Charlie to perform such a despicable act?   Become a Premium Supporter of The Grave Talks Through Apple Podcasts or Patreon (http://www.patreon.com/thegravetalks) There, you will get: Access to every episode of our show, AD-FREE!

When you think about Christmas, what is the song that is the soundtrack for this season of your life? Maybe it's Joy to the World, O Holy Night, or White Christmas. But have you ever thought about the very first Christmas song that was ever sung?A lot of us would probably think it's Hark! The Herald Angels Sing from Luke 2:14. But that wasn't the first Christmas song. The first Christmas song actually came nine months before that – it was Mary's song.This time of year isn't the same for everyone. There are many who struggle with the holidays and many who may be coming out of a season of suffering. Today on Fearless, I'm taking a look at Mary's story. I hope it is a reminder that, despite what we have going on, we are to be like Mary and praise God despite our worldly circumstances. To watch this episode visit https://cissiegrahamlynch.com/fearless-episode-149/.  For more resources and additional episodes visit https://cissiegrahamlynch.com.
