Today on a brand new episode of Let There Be Talk, I've got one of the greatest voices in rock music joining me—the one and only Corey Glover. From the moment Living Colour exploded onto the scene with Vivid, Corey helped redefine what heavy music could be. Songs like "Cult of Personality," "Open Letter (To a Landlord)," and "Love Rears Its Ugly Head" weren't just incredible records—they changed the conversation. For nearly four decades, Living Colour has blended hard rock, funk, soul, jazz, and fearless social commentary into a sound that's completely their own. Corey has also built an incredible career outside the band, from solo records to acting, collaborations, and countless unforgettable performances. And now he's part of an exciting new project, ONE TRIBE NATION, an all-star collective that's paying tribute to the music that shaped them. Their latest release is a powerful live version of the Black Sabbath classic "The Wizard," with Corey delivering a vocal performance that reminds you exactly why he's one of the finest frontmen in rock. Today we dive into the legacy of Living Colour, the band's influence on generations of musicians, the creative spark behind ONE TRIBE NATION, what it means to reinterpret a Black Sabbath classic, and why Corey is still pushing himself creatively after all these years. Turn it up, spread the word, and please enjoy my conversation with the incredible Corey Glover.

Wow... the adrenaline is strong in this episode... Instead of giving you the episode I had planned, life decided to throw me a sucker punch and sit me kitty corner away from my abusive ex that I hadn't seen in thirteen years, so you'll be hearing a rant about that experience instead. This little bonus episode is for everyone out there who has ever felt powerless and afraid against an abuser. Remember, like Glinda from the Wizard of Oz said, "You've always had the Power, my dear.

John Wilson is one of Britain's foremost conductors, dubbed “the most exciting British conductor since Simon Rattle” by The Sunday Times, he has devoted more than 30 years to painstakingly restoring and recreating the original orchestrations of MGM's greatest musicals after the studio's entire music library was destroyed in 1969. His reconstructions of scores for films including The Wizard of Oz, Singin' in the Rain and An American in Paris have brought these classics back to the concert hall exactly as they were heard on screen. Founder of the internationally acclaimed John Wilson Orchestra and Music Director of Sinfonia of London, he has conducted many of the world's leading orchestras, including the London Symphony Orchestra, the Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra and the Chicago Symphony Orchestra. A regular at the BBC Proms and the recipient of a prestigious Royal Philharmonic Society Award, his recordings and performances have earned widespread acclaim, establishing him as one of today's leading interpreters of both classic film music and the great orchestral repertoire.John Wilson is our guest in episode 594 of My Time Capsule and he chats to Michael Fenton Stevens about the five things he'd like to put in a time capsule; four he'd like to preserve and one he'd like to bury and never have to think about again .Buy tickets for John Wilson's The Golden Age of Hollywood at the Edinburgh International Festival 2026, here https://www.eif.co.uk/events/the-golden-age-of-hollywood .Visit our website! - https://mytimecapsulepodcast.com .Follow My Time Capsule on Instagram: @mytimecapsulepodcast & Twitter/X & Facebook: @MyTCpod .Follow Michael Fenton Stevens on Twitter/X: @fentonstevens & Instagram @mikefentonstevens .Produced and edited by John Fenton-Stevens for Cast Off Productions .Music by Pass The Peas Music .Artwork by matthewboxall.com .This podcast is proud to be associated with the charity Viva!

Send us Fan MailToday's episode is my conversation about the 1931 film Tabu: A Story of the South Seas. I'm joined by James Kreul from the Moving Image Madison newsletter and we talk about how the film's pacing suffers due to trying to blend documentary filmmaking with a loose narrative structure, the film's influence on modern films set in the same region like Moana, and the sad passing of the film's director just a week before it debuted.You can watch Tabu on Amazon Prime or YouTube or purchase a copy for yourself and be sure to check out James's newsletter.Other films mentioned in this episode include:All Quiet on the Western Front directed by Lewis MilestoneDracula directed by Tod BrowningNanook of the North directed by Robert J.

The crew goes live and immediately loses the plot using fancy new broadcasting software. Between celebrating a record-shattering week at the cafe, defending the shop's emotional boundaries regarding new hires, and analyzing the strict new retailer policies dropping out of DC Comics, this episode turns into a love letter to the messy chaos of local fandom events and a direct roast of Coral's absolutely horrifying late-night fast-food habits. This Week's Insanity:Goblin Games Glory: A massive post-mortem on the Wizard of Barge popup where 300+ orders of "Goblin Juice" triggered the cafe's biggest day in history, while Coral spent the night getting terrified by John Goblikon in the bathroom. Comic-Con Speed Dating: The team maps out their upcoming trip to San Diego Comic-Con, proposing a live-streamed speed-dating filter for Coral hosted entirely by Tini Howard. Gay News: Celebrating the scandalous post-mortem fallout of "Lady G," tap-dancing in hell with televangelists, and the literal expiration date of broken political NDAs. Adult Nightclub Accolades: Jumbo's Clown Room gets a prestigious nomination for Small Club of the Year at the "ED Awards," forcing Coral to clean the leftover green paint off the shop's prop rubber boobies. Comic Book Crackdown: Joe breaks down DC Comics' aggressive new terms of service that cap retailer exclusive variants at five times the cover price to stop secondary market gouging. Vampire Lestat Deep Dive: Jeff and Joe unpack the emotional weight of the penultimate episode of The Vampire Lestat while brainstorming explicit vampire-themed watch-party snacks. Coral's UFC Exodus: Frustrated by excessive political and religious posturing in the octagon, Coral threatens to abandon her mixed martial arts obsession entirely. Culinary Abominations: A deeply disturbing look inside Coral's true diet, featuring a regular In-N-Out 4x4 smash and her signature gourmet trick of pouring a McDonald's vanilla milkshake directly onto a cheeseburger. Loose, chaotic, and completely unhinged, this episode is what happens when you survive 30 live tattoos and realize you have absolutely no boundaries left to cross. New episodes every week. Only at Revenge Of, where the burgers come in boxes, and the milkshake belongs on the side.

For 30 years, Clarence Carter worked inside America's public assistance system under two presidents, four governors, and a mayor. In this episode, he joins John Odermatt to explain why the safety net designed to lift people out of poverty often keeps them trapped instead, and what a better system could look like. Carter draws on his three decades of experience — including transforming Washington DC's homeless services program and leading welfare reform in Virginia — to argue that the problem isn't a lack of funding, but a lack of clear purpose. He walks through the 114 federal programs that make up the safety net, why they measure compliance instead of outcomes, and what it would take to build a system focused on growing people beyond dependency rather than managing it. Along the way, he shares personal stories, from handing out apartment keys to former shelter residents to a welfare recipient's tearful first paycheck, that illustrate what real freedom from the system looks like, and makes the case for a whole-of-society approach involving government, business, faith communities, and everyday citizens.

We're in a tight spot. This week on Be Kind Rewind, Dave & Cody dig into the Coen Brothers' O Brother, Where Art Thou? (2000), the Depression-era chain gang comedy that's (not so) secretly Homer's Odyssey and accidentally revived an entire genre of American music. We break down what holds up (this is George Clooney's coming out party), the murderer's row of character actors, Roger Deakins making Mississippi look like a sepia dream, and a soundtrack that won Album of the Year at the Grammys as a bluegrass record. We get into what's harder to sit with in 2026, the wild behind-the-scenes stuff (the Coens claim they never read the Odyssey, Clooney said yes without reading the script, the KKK scene is staged like The Wizard of Oz), and a Pastor's Corner on Ulysses Everett McGill as an Ecclesiastes figure who chases every title but bona fide and only finds his knees when the rope comes out. Plus: Adam Sandler officiated the Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce wedding and we have questions, we Muppetize the movie (Dave cheats), and we guess Clooney's top five highest-grossing films, with a number one that made us both genuinely angry.https://linktr.ee/PopCulturePastorPod

For 30 years, Clarence Carter worked inside America's public assistance system under two presidents, four governors, and a mayor. In this episode, he joins John Odermatt to explain why the safety net designed to lift people out of poverty often keeps them trapped instead, and what a better system could look like. Carter draws on his three decades of experience — including transforming Washington DC's homeless services program and leading welfare reform in Virginia — to argue that the problem isn't a lack of funding, but a lack of clear purpose. He walks through the 114 federal programs that make up the safety net, why they measure compliance instead of outcomes, and what it would take to build a system focused on growing people beyond dependency rather than managing it. Along the way, he shares personal stories, from handing out apartment keys to former shelter residents to a welfare recipient's tearful first paycheck, that illustrate what real freedom from the system looks like, and makes the case for a whole-of-society approach involving government, business, faith communities, and everyday citizens.

Witnessing adaptation is one of our great pleasures. How does one transform an audio medium into a visual one? How will the podcast World Beyond Number, from Brennan Lee Mulligan, Erika Ishii, Aabria Iyengar, and Lou Wilson, expand into The Wizard, The Witch, and The Wild One, courtesy of comic storytellers Jadzia Axelrod and Sarah Webb? When the chance to ponder the thought arose with some of those involved, we jumped at it. There are only days left ot support Worlds Beyond Wonder: The Wizard, the Witch, and the Wild One via Kickstarter. As of this writing, it's already reached over $1.8 million. The book is happening and will be published through Skybound Entertainment. Join the party in confidence. We spoke with Brennan Lee Mulligan, Erika Ishii, and Lou Wilson about their love of comics and the delight they've discovered in watching Jadzia Axelrod and Sarah Webb bring their story to this medium. We relish the love evident in their play, found in every Worlds Beyond Number episode. We discuss nerdom not as a monolith, but as an endless pebbly beach. This episode was a fantastic surprise, but not as big a surprise as the email we recently received that threw our lives into turmoil (which is the topic of today's introduction). Friends, we've been through it. Thank goodness for our comic book pals.

Welcome to The DMF — Discovering Meaning in Film and Acting. I'm Justin Younts, and this is the complete interview with casting director Tiffany Little Canfield of Telsey Company — known for her work on Wicked, Mean Girls, and more. All three parts together.Tiffany grew up in Sacramento, got serious about acting early, moved into directing, and eventually found her way to casting — where her background on both sides of the table changed how she reads actors and approaches every project. This conversation covers all of it.We start with her path into the industry, the casting process, what actors consistently misunderstand about auditions, the impact of self-tapes, and why training never stops mattering. From there we get into the specific casting stories — A Most Violent Year, Miss Sloane, Margin Call, and Wicked. Tiffany gets into how Ariana Grande was cast as Glinda, the casting of The Wizard, Madame Morrible, and Bowen Yang, and what the process looked like on a production of that scale.We also get into casting controversies, diversity in casting, and what Tiffany actually thinks about how those conversations play out in the industry. She talks about the Academy finally establishing a casting branch and what that recognition means for the profession. We close with upcoming projects, Inside the Actors Studio questions, what she's reading and watching, and her thoughts on The Lost Daughter.In this episode we discuss:Tiffany's path from acting to directing to castingThe casting process and what actors get wrongSelf-tapes and the reality of modern auditionsCasting Wicked — Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, Michelle Yeoh, Jeff Goldblum & Bowen YangCasting A Most Violent Year, Miss Sloane & Margin CallCasting controversies and diversity in the industryThe Academy finally recognizing casting directorsUpcoming projects including Only Murders in the Building and Paradise00:00:00 - Introduction 00:00:14 - Guest Introduction & Early Life 00:00:38 - Influence of Early Life on Career 00:02:23 - Transition from Acting to Directing 00:03:14 - Professional Training and Realization 00:04:26 - Decision to Shift from Acting 00:06:09 - Transition to Casting 00:06:21 - Casting Experience and Realization 00:09:04 - Getting into the Industry 00:09:29 - Similarities between Casting Directors and Actors 00:13:26 - Role of Directing Degree in Casting 00:13:26 - Understanding Actors 00:15:13 - Misconceptions about Acting 00:15:40 - The Art and Craft of Acting 00:17:26 - The Importance of Continuous Training 00:22:02 - The Shift to Self-Tapes 00:24:32 - Challenges in the Industry 00:26:52 - The Power of Subtle Acting 00:28:36 - Working with the Telsey Office 00:29:52 - Casting 'A Most Violent Year' 00:30:48 - Casting 'A Most Violent Year' Continued 00:36:26 - Casting 'Miss Sloan' 00:39:09 - Casting 'Margin Call' 00:41:30 - Casting 'Wicked' 00:46:19 - Casting 'Wicked' Continued: The Role of Glinda 00:49:54 - Casting 'Wicked' Continued: The Role of the Wizard and Madame Morrible 00:55:26 - Casting 'Wicked' Continued: The Role of Boq 00:57:04 - Recognition of Casting Directors at the Academy Awards 01:01:30 - Future Plans 01:01:42 - Upcoming Projects 01:02:15 - Daily Routines 01:03:09 - Physical Fitness and Meditation 01:03:48 - Current Readings 01:05:11 - Music Preferences 01:05:39 - Current TV Shows 01:06:42 - Recent Movies 01:08:34 - Contact Information 01:08:57 - Conclusion#DMF #TiffanyLittleCanfield #CastingDirector #Wicked #ArianaGrande #TelseyCompany #Oscars #Academy #Acting #Casting #Filmmaking #Podcast
