Podcast appearances and mentions of Williams sisters

Watch the best scene reading: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3-wbuMLmLCQ Get to know the writer: What is your screenplay about? White Chocolate is about a female detective who, along with her male partner, has to solve the killing of a high school basketball prodigy in Yonkers, New York (near New York City). Detective Erika Gonzalez is a single mom and the daughter of a cop killed in the line of duty. Her son's father, who proved unfaithful during their relationship, has been recently released from prison. The story focuses on Erika's resilience in the face of personal and professional challenges, as well as the unwanted attention that comes to an attractive woman who simply wants to do her job. What genres does your screenplay fall under? Drama, Crime, Sports. Why should this screenplay be made into a movie? Erika is a character who faces so many challenges in a male-dominated profession and is constantly being tested, which makes her someone worth rooting for. Also, the basketball prodigy represents the hopes and dreams of many in a city not noted for producing famous people. Many in the community live vicariously through him, making his killing difficult for them to process. Fingers are pointed in many different directions. There's a whodunit element to the story. Those who may be able to identify the killer before the detectives may be intrigued by the lengths to which the killer tries to avoid accountability. How many stories have you written? Two screenplays. The other is Iceman, which is about a Black hockey trailblazer in the 1995-96 National Hockey League season.I'm also the author of four books: Breaking the Ice: The Black Experience in Professional Hockey (Insomniac Press, Toronto), the first book that told the unique stories of Black players in hockey; Call the Yankees My Daddy: Reflections on Baseball, Race, and Family; Charging the Net: A History of Blacks in Tennis from Althea Gibson and Arthur to the Williams Sisters; and Different Strokes: Serena, Venus, and the Unfinished Black Tennis Revolution. My books reside at the intersection of sports and sociology. I used to cover the NHL's Carolina Hurricanes for The News & Observer in Raleigh and the New York Rangers for Newsday in New York. The lead character in Iceman is based on Black NHL players I wrote about in Breaking the Ice.

How do you reinvent yourself when you've already reached the top of one field?It's a question many of us face as long careers, industry disruptions, or even boredom push us to rethink our path.In the latest episode of the How to Live podcast, I sit down with the legendary sports broadcaster John Dykes, who shares his powerful and deeply personal story of stepping out of the broadcast spotlight and into corporate boardrooms.For years, John was the trusted face of the Premier League, someone we all tuned in to see. But even before the broadcast industry in Southeast Asia faced disruption, John found himself questioning the purpose and relevance of what he was doing. After decades spent in Sports TV listening to the legends and unpicking their strategies, he began questioning his next move - convinced he wanted to inform, educate and entertain. He spent two years exploring where he could still make an impact within the sports world—experiencing both triumphs and doubts. But a friend's remark changed everything: "John, you're more than just an entertaining dinner speech." Brutal, but it struck a chord.Through various explorations, John realised his core skills—communication, crisis management, leadership lessons from the likes of Sir Alex Ferguson, David Beckham, and the Williams Sisters—were just as relevant in the corporate world. The stage may have shifted, but the principles remained the same.With a natural gift for storytelling, John began helping corporate leaders, from investment bankers to senior executives, communicate powerfully, make strategic decisions, and even recruit with insights from football's greatest. Yet, it wasn't all smooth sailing. He had to learn the ropes of commercialising his services, setting the right pricing, and designing programs from scratch.What struck me most about John's journey wasn't just his skillset—it was his mindset. Despite being at the peak of his career and a familiar face to millions, John approached this transition with humility, curiosity, and quiet determination. He was open to learning, adapting, and evolving.Many of us are at a point where reinvention is necessary but scary. John's story shows that reinvention is not only possible—it can be inspiring, even at the top of your game.If you're looking to evolve and grow to the next stage of your career, this episode is for you.Episode Shownoteshttps://howtolive.life/episode/076-re-inventing-from-broadcast-to-boardroomsRelated Episode#030 Re-inventing yourself with Sarah LalSpotify: https://howtolive.life/ep30spotifyApple Podcasts: https://howtolive.life/ep30appleConnect with Johnhttps://www.johndykes.co/Leave us a messagehttps://howtolive.life/contactAbout Sharad Lalhttps://www.sharadlal.net/Follow usLinkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/sharadlal24/Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/PodcastHowtolive/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/podcasthowtolive/

It's episode 70 of the DOD45 show and our special guest for this episode is Carnage the Executioner. A rapper, emcee, beatboxer, music-maker, teacher, you name it. He hails from the Twin Cities and we're glad to have him on the show. Carnage is a Transformers, the cartoon, fan, so on this episode ArtByTai draws him a Transformers themed piece with a dash of Tom & Jerry, the Flintstones and a tiger. In the intro of this episode, Adrienne & Tai recap their experience at the Atmosphere Red Rocks show thanks to the invite from Mr. Dibbs. And with Carnage, some names to come up are Terrell Owens, Owen Wilson, Woody Harrelson, & Tiger Woods, which also leads to a conversation about how the father figures of The Jacksons, The Williams Sisters & Tiger Woods, shaped the professionals they became & whether that was a good thing or a bad thing. Carnage also reveals that he is in the process of branching out from The Executioner moniker and is moving into the era of Terrell-X. He also discusses that he's interested in expanding his talents with things like learning how to scratch and even play the guitar. Mr. Dibbs appears on episode to present a question to Carnage from a random old lady off the streets of Cincinnati for the much-anticipated return of the Question from Dibbs segment. They also have a good discussion about one of Tai's favorites, comedian and beatboxer billed as The Man of 10,000 Sound Effects, Michael Winslow and they also discuss Carnage's experience working with Aesop Rock on the track “Tuff” from Aesop's The Impossible Kid album. All of that and some revelations during The Dish segment, make this a very satisfying episode. So peel the clumps of hair from your shower drain, scrape the the mold off the curtain, spray off your dogs bodaggets & get yourself situated to enjoy this episode 70 of The DOD45 Show with Carnage the Executioner.

It's our monthly New and Notable episode for October, and this month we've got intriguing new podcasts and exclusive interviews with some of their creators. True crime is one of the most popular podcast genres, but the stories we hear don't often centre the victims or the people left in the wake of tragedy. That's what the new podcast Media Circus with Kim Goldman aims to change. The course of Goldman's life changed when her brother, Ron Goldman, was murdered alongside OJ Simpson's ex wife, Nicole Brown Simpson. In the media circus that ensued, and her enduring grief, Kim was struck by the disparity between how the media covers crime and what it's like to be personally affected by it. This week, Kim joins us for an interview about her hopes for the podcast and what she's learned from speaking to so many families stricken by trauma. Plus, a conversation with one of the creators of Hot Money, the series that takes listeners inside the porn industry. And, Serena and Venus Williams are revered as tennis greats, but it hasn't always been that way. This week we're bringing you the inspiring minds behind the latest and greatest podcasts – and, of course, a sampling of their work. Featuring: Media Circus with Kim Goldman, Hot Money, All American: Venus & Serena For links and more info, head to http://cbc.ca/podcastplaylist.

This year's U.S. Open is being viewed as a ‘farewell tour' – more or less – of the Williams sisters as the curtains come down on what has been described as “the greatest sibling act in sports history”. With both Serena and Venus Williams exiting the U.S. Open early, the two sisters, who between them account for 30 singles Grand Slam titles, 14 doubles Grand Slams titles, and eight Olympic gold medals, are easing out of the pro tour, leaving behind a unique legacy that transcends tennis. In this episode, we take a look at their impact on the sport: how they changed women's tennis, what their success did for the African-American community, their impact on how women's tennis is treated by the entertainment industry, and other aspects. Guest: The Hindu's Ziya Us Salam, a passionate tennis aficionado who has closely followed the career of the Williams sisters right from the 1990s. Host: G. Sampath, Social Affairs Editor, The Hindu Edited by Ranjani Srinivasan

A quick update on our season finale, where we'll reflect on the Williams Sisters' legacy, and their showing at the 2022 US Open.

Would it be fair to describe us as Podcast Royalty? No, probably not. But that didn't stop us trawling our way through the top 5 topic of Kings and Queens. A particular film franchise making its possible top 5 debut this week. Our main feature this week was overshadowed by some Oscar night slap shenanigans. King Richard was Will Smith's ticket to gold statue glory. But have you actually seen the movie? If I recall Mr Smith was somewhat of a certainty for the Oscar nod. We cast our vote on the movie and the performance.Completely unrelated to the royalty theme is the kids tv choice this week. Buddy Thunderstruck is a Netflix animation thingy. Netflix seem determined to make us choose the plot with the interactive content device. We've not been overwhelmed with excitement by this stuff before, but maybe things will be different this time...We love to hear from our listeners! By which I mean we tolerate it.

In a world filled with too many examples, it is sometimes incredibly difficult to separate the behavior from the person.  Other times… not so much.  In this episode, Ashley and Mark discuss the thread that connects Justice Jackson's hearing, The Williams Sisters and Jane Campion, and of course, the Oscars “slap”.  While each represents its own level of abhorrent behavior, we hope to shed some light on nuance, context, and how to engage when it's not our turn to lead the conversation.

Our next guest is Cecil Harris, a sports journalist who has covered major tennis events including the US Open and the Women's Tennis Association Championships in New York. He has written for the NY Times, the Associated Press, and USA Today. He is the author of several books, including “Charging the Net: A History of Blacks in Tennis from Althea Gibson and Arthur Ashe to the Williams Sisters” and “Different Strokes: Serena, Venus, and the Unfinished Black Tennis Revolution”. In Will Smith's Oscars acceptance speech for Best Actor in a Leading Role, a tearful Smith, 53, referenced Richard Williams, calling him “a fierce defender of his family. “Art imitates life. I look like the crazy father, just like they said about Richard Williams,” Smith said. “But love will make you do crazy things.” I wondered if this was really true. In episode 227 of the Fraternity Foodie Podcast, I ask Cecil Harris about the Will Smith slap of Chris Rock and whether "King Richard' Williams would have done the same thing to defend his family. We find out why Cecil chose Fordham University, how Venus and Serena Williams revolutionized tennis and inspired generations of female tennis players, why top black players still underrepresented in the world of tennis, details on the under-reported scandal of why no African American umpire has officiated a US Open men's or women's final since 1993, how we can remove the elitist attitude that sometime persists in the tennis community, whether Simone Biles made the right move with her mental health considering she knew the pressures of being an Olympic Athlete, why that story went viral but we heard much less about Osaka's withdrawal from the French Open, whether there is a generational divide when we talk about athletes and their mental health, why the Yankees so dominant in the late 90's but have struggled to get back to that spot in the 21st century, the professional struggles that have characterized the entry of African-American hockey players into the mostly white sport, and Cecil's favorite restaurants in Yonkers.

How is it that tennis demands silence from the rubes in the gallery in every match unless a woman of color is dominating the show? Also, Reese has some very strong opinions about tanning that may leave Broc unable to share stories from the beach with his boss. 

"King Richard" had its world premiere at last year's Telluride Film Festival, where it immediately struck up awards buzz for Will Smith's lead performance, the Beyoncé closing credits song "Be Alive," and other elements such as writing and editing, to help establish it as a contender in the Oscar race for Best Picture. Pamela Martin's editing has helped the film's success by keeping the 145-minute runtime moving and engaging, whether an audience member saw it in a theater or at home on HBO Max. She was kind enough to talk with us about her work, including the tennis matches, the closing montage which weaves in real-life footage of the Williams Sisters and their father, and more!

Episode 14: "ACCE$$": Tiger Woods, The Williams Sisters, Simone Biles,....when you think of athletes of color, these athletes come to mind. But did you ever consider what it took for them to get there in these elite (and sometimes "elitist") sports??
