The Wizard discusses Halloween, H.G. Wells, and an amazing Magician!!See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
For centuries, witches have cast their spell on our imaginations and enchanted our stories. Throughout folklore and pop culture, some pointed-hat witches have established their unforgettable characters, both evil and good, from the Wicked Witch of the West, in the 1939 “Wizard of Oz” film, and Hermione Granger in the “Harry Potter” series. So, why are witches so popular? And why can't pop culture seem to get enough? Coming up Friday at 9 a.m., MPR News host Jacob Aloi, reporter Alex V. Cipolle and editor Max Sparber spend an hour exploring witches across history and culture. With their guests, the MPR News arts team will talk about the witches in one of Shakespeare's best-known plays, as well as witches in TV, film, music and books.

Legend Judy Garland has been called a Hollywood icon and the greatest entertainer of all time. She's also been called “crazy” for behind-the-scenes bad behavior, nervous breakdowns, suicide attempts, and several marriages to gay men. In this episode, Lena and Alissa talk about Judy's early years — her vaudevillian roots, her stage mom who introduced her to the pills she'd rely on for the rest of her life, her studio-sanctioned starvation, and of course, The Wizard of Oz. Then, Lena talks to Andrew Rannells about his love for Judy. This episode was first published on 01/23/2020.

"The Wizard and the Prophet" by Charles C. MannRhishi Pethe's "Software is Feeding the World" Newsletter "In 1968, the year a USAID official coined the term 'Green Revolution', Norman Borlaug gave a victory lap speech at a wheat meeting in Australia. Twenty years before, he said, Mexican farmers had reaped about 760 pounds of wheat from every acre planted. Now that figure had risen to almost 2,500 pounds per acre, triple the harvest from the same land. The same thing was happening in India. He said the first green revolution wheat had been tested there just in 1964-1965 growing season. It had been so successful that the government had tested it on 7,000 acres the next year, and now it was covering almost 7 million acres. The same thing was happening in Pakistan, and this didn't even count the Green Revolution rice, also short and disease resistant, which was spreading across Asia." That is an excerpt from the book we'll be talking about here today. "The Wizard and the Prophet" by Charles C. Mann. The subtitle is "two remarkable scientists and they're dueling visions to shape tomorrow's world." One of those scientists, "the wizard", was Norman Borlaug: the father of the green revolution. Today's episode focuses on Borlaug's life and contributions to improving crop productivity in some of the most impoverished areas of the world. This episode is co-hosted by Tim Hammerich and Rhishi Pethe.

Paul Myers is one of those do-it-all guys: author of the new John Candy: A Life in Comedy, host of the Record Store Day Podcast (which he also writes, produces, engineers and composes the music for), radio and TV host, musician, and author of books about Kids in the Hall, Long John Baldry, Barenaked Ladies and the one that hooked me on his work, A Wizard, a True Star: Todd Rundgren in the Studio. We dig into Candy's life, an inspirational story and cautionary tale that makes you laugh and breaks your heart. We also flash back on Paul Myers' years growing up in Toronto with his Beatles/Monty Python-loving parents from Liverpool and his brothers, including writer/performer Mike Myers. How did he wind up becoming a musician, writer and radio/TV/podcast host? What have been his biggest podcasting thrills? And what are his picks for the upcoming Record Store Day Black Friday?

KCSU music director Ria sat down with Jared Swilley of Black Lips ahead of their Dever show at the Mission Ballroom on October 28th, 2025. On this tour the band is supporting Viagra Boys whilst performing songs from their latest album “Season of the Peach”. The two discuss the excitement of touring, the juxtaposition of telling intense stories with a lighthearted sound, and how aliens might react to bird sounds.Ria JanapatiWe are here at the Mission Ballroom, October 2[7]th, [2025]. You are Jared of the Black Lips-Jared SwilleyJared, and you are?Ria I am Ria, Music Director of KCSU; I've got some questions. Jared Cool. Ria First one being: You've been doing this music thing for a hot minute now, are there things about being on the road specifically that change for you excitement level wise? Jared Oh sure, yeah. There's a different, like, excitement level. I've been touring since I was 16. We drove- the first like US tour we ever did was pretty miserable, but it was still the funnest thing; like, by my standards today, it would be pretty miserable, but I remember seeing the desert for the first time, and that's like, that excitement- I can remember the excitement I felt, like, the first time I saw a cactus. But like, now, you know, I slept on a pretty drive today because I've seen a lot of that stuff. So that changes. I still love being on stage and stuff. But yeah, I mean, just like, anything you do forever, things get boring. Ria Are there any cities that you visited a first time and you, like, couldn't wait to go back? Or maybe the opposite, you were really excited, but it wasn't your fav. Jared Oh, I won't mention any cities I didn't like, because I figure it's best not to say negative things about people or places. But there's... like, yeah, a lot of cities. I mean, talk about [the] excitement of being someplace. I remember the feeling of the first time we went to Europe to play; I couldn't believe it, like, because it was, it felt really cool. And I wanted to go back to all those cities, and I have been back to pretty much all of them. Or, like, you know, like Tokyo, like going there, I was like, "I have to come back here. It's awesome." So most, most places I would like, I, you know, there's, there's very few places I'd be like, “I never want to go there again.” So, yeah, I like most places.Ria I've seen that you guys have come to be known for pulling some antics during live shows, especially more in the DIY spaces. Has there been anything you've really wanted to do during a live show that would just be like a fun little act that no one saw coming? Jared There is one that we've been talking about doing... because we've done, like, all sorts of crazy stuff, and we're, like, older now, so I'm not trying to, like, make anyone upset anymore, like, do anything crazy. But like, have you ever seen the Wizard of Oz? Ria Absolutely. Jared So you know, like, when the Munchkins, like those guys come out as, like, the lollipop... the old guys? We want to- I guess I'm spilling the beans here, but it'll surprise people when we do it. But like, we kind of, like… We have this song that's about eating candy on our new record, and we want to just like, stop in the middle, hopefully, at a really huge show, like something like this [Mission Ballroom], or at a big festival, and, like, drop our instruments and go into the lollipop guild dance and then just start playing again. That's kind of like what we want to do.Ria Nice. A little surprise, a little dance break. Jared YeahRia Yeah, awesome. You just have to get the choreography down. Jared Yeah.Ria And then your newest album, Season of the Peach, I noticed it takes on a lot of different genre influences. There's some rockabilly sound, there's some 60s stuff, some folk stuff going on, just all over the place. So when you're taking inspiration to create something new like that, where do you find yourself looking?Jared I'm always looking in the past, and that's just for me. Fortunately, in this band, like all five members [contribute equally], right? So that's why it can kind of seem like it's all over the place, like musically. But, I mean, I only listen to, like, very old music, so that's kind of really what I'm pulling from; I listen to, like, old country and doo-wop and rockabilly and blues and stuff like that, so that's usually... I'm just trying to recreate stuff in a kind of, like, not as good way as the stuff I really like.Ria Back on your 2020 album, there's a song called "Angola Rodeo", and that song really interested me in the storytelling of it. It seemed like a bit of a silly take on, like, real life events. So-Jared YeahRia When you're going about doing that. Where do you draw the line between like, not taking yourself too seriously?Jared Well, you want to like, not like... or at least with me, I want to be like, if I'm talking about something very serious, and that's a very serious thing... Do you know the story of, like, the Angola rodeo? Ria Yeah, it's a prison rodeo.Jared Yeah, prison rodeo, and we actually went to it. I'd always wanted to go, and we went, and it's like, you know, it's pretty controversial. I happen to be in favor of it, just because it's like, if you're doing life in prison, or if you're on death row, like, it's the best day of your life when you get to do... They actually do it for like, a few months of the year. But you know, you don't want to be too preachy or too sappy, so you got to have your tongue firmly in cheek. My theory has always been, if you have, like, a really sad subject matter, make it a very poppy sounding song. And if you have really happy sounding stuff, it should be like, darker. That's kind of like how I like to do things. Ria Yeah, just flip them on their head. Jared And it's still, like... The lyrics are still like, kind of serious; but it's like a fun kind of sounding song. But you know, the Angola Prison is, like, one of the darkest places in the United States. It's pretty rough there.Ria I just thought that was really interesting, because on a first listen, if you're not really paying attention, it'll just be like, "Oh, this is a fun little tune-Jared There is, like, a big, like, stark contrast when you go to that rodeo, because you are in this just incredibly dark place. You drive in and you see death row, and you see the fields they're all working in, but then you go in there, and it's like, a really happy environment; like the prisoners... It's like, all guys on best behavior, but they've been working; like, they sell their arts and crafts that day. Their families are allowed to come in. They can actually have like, conjugal visits with their family in there. So it's like, it's super dark, ...

Aretha Franklin sang about it. Rodney Dangerfield joked about it. And Jackie Robinson famously said, like him or not, he'd earned it. R.E.S.P.E.C.T. We are living in a period where respect is a neglected virtue — too often sacrificed in public discourse, online exchanges, and everyday interactions. Robert L. “Bob” Dilenschneider aims to change that, even if only one interaction at a time. Bob is the founder of The Dilenschneider Group, which, since October 1991, has provided strategic advice and counsel to Fortune 500 companies, professional organizations, trade associations, educational institutions, and leading families and individuals around the world. Bob's newest book, his 20th, is Respect: How to Change the World One Interaction at a Time. The book is a timely reflection on the urgent need for civility in an era of deep division. Drawing on both his life and professional experience and the wisdom of 13 admired leaders, Respect outlines five practical strategies for restoring civility and rebuilding mutual understanding. “It can feel like the world is broken,” Bob acknowledges in his book. The solution, he believes, does not rest with political leaders or other highly influential individuals but with individuals, regular citizens, who can take steps to restore a culture of respectfulness. Monday Morning Radio is hosted by the father-son duo of Dean and Maxwell Rotbart.

“You've always had the power my dear, you just had to learn it for yourself.”― The Wizard of OzI hate that to admit that it's true, yet I have spent most of my life thinking there was something very wrong with me. Defective. Disfigured. Doomed. This state of mind has improved and healed greatly over the years yet at times it still rears it's gnarly head and haunts me. The idea that NOTHING is WRONG with me (or you!)has been a theme/ message that kept popping up this year so I decided it was time to sit down and record about it.On this solo episode I discuss the detriment to the human Soul that is wondering; what is wrong with me? To question your value, worth, abilities, intelligence, lovability, and if you even matter. Terrible feeling. When did this develop, why has it inflicted Humans for so long, and what can we do about it? I explore these and other questions as well as share my own experience and recent revelations around keeping my spirits and standards high and not keeping anything around in my life that is Not For Me in an attempt to prove that there is nothing wrong with me.

It's been 30 years since Albany-born author Gregory Maguire published his bestselling novel about the secret life of “The Wizard of Oz” big baddie, the Wicked Witch of the West. With the sequel to the hit film adaptation coming out in November, Maguire joins us on “The Eagle” to talk about why he thinks his story resonates with so many fans, how the last year of massive publicity for his work has gone, and what he's currently reading.

Send us a textToday we begin our coverage of the Wicked 5-book universe by Gregory Maguire. We're diving into political fantasy like we never have before, just in time to watch Wicked for Good with all of you! Check out our latest Tuesday full length episode https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R1Z1NeJej2k all about why books and reading are inherently political, why it's not only important to acknowledge this, but to read our favorite books through this lens, and how Maguire uses the fantastical to expertly critique issues like authoritarianism, colonialism, and racism. We also provide a bit of context by discussing what political happenings were taking place when Wicked was written, and what influences the Wizard of Oz and L. Frank Baum may have had on this more current work. In this episode we dive into book one: Wicked: The Life and Times of the Wicked Witch of the West in which we experience the hostile takeover of Oz by the Wizard, a fascist dictator, through the eyes of Elphaba, the flawed and ultimately the unfortunate martyr to the resistance. Who were our favorite and least favorite characters and plot points? Do we think these books can be separated from politics just because they're fantasy? What philosophical questions are posed? And what literary devices does Maguire use to critique government structures and the ensuing “isms?”Fantasy tales can be so much more than surface level storytelling, and often are. We're here to discover why! Listen on for our reviews of book one, our deep dive reactions, and fun facts about the book that started the Wicked phenomena!WICKED Movie 1 VS Book? | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nqvJvfaD61A Don't be shy, subscribe!

Hello, one more ep for D'Angelo but as I was listening to this, I realized what a canon episode this is. Shoplifting from the airport, going to watch the State of the Union Address, plus a Big Bopper call. I also left all of Russell's original notes in the episode because they are brilliant. We are the world. We are children. We are the ones who make the best podcast about D'Angelo and the 183rd greatest album of all time, Brown Sugar, so you should start listening.1 Before we get to the music, we provide our rebuttal to the State of the Union with some discussion about the Wizard of Oz, the keys to good hospitality, and 44 days of amazing music in 1991.2 We're also your accountability buddy when it comes to airport etiquette when we chat about security checkpoint stops and normalizing kiosk shoplifting. Then at (55:00) this podcast takes a smooth turn when we discuss D'Angelo's 1995 debut studio album Brown Sugar. We discuss D'Angelo's double entendres, the Voodoo sound, and the best weed songs ever.3 Next week we just want to have fun when we become the best Cyndi Lauper podcast and cover her 1983 debut studio album, She's So Unusual. 1. The opening of this writeup was a play on words from the song We Are the World, which was covered in the 2024 Documentary, The Greatest Night in Pop. 2. If our discussion of the 7 Legendary Rock Albums that were released in 44 days gives you the perfect body feeling, then reading this article reference will put a little mustard on it. 3. If you think this video of Snoop Dogg and Willie Nelson singing Roll Me Up and Smoke Me When I Die deserves a two-star rating then you probably should've just left this podcast about 15 minutes earlier.
In Emerald City, the enchanted city in The Wizard of Oz, everyone wears glasses with green lenses. But did you know that this practice actually dates back to ancient times? To a Roman emperor in fact, and his passion for a precious green stone: the emerald. For centuries, the emerald was believed to have almost magical properties, including the ability to improve eyesight. Fascinated by this stone, Emperor Nero always carried one with him. According to legend, he even watched chariot races while looking through an emerald. And as surprising as this may seem, some believe that this was the very first pair of sunglasses! Voice of Jewels is a podcast by L'ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts, with the support of Van Cleef & Arpels. With the participation of Marie-Laure Cassius-Duranton, gemologist and art historian at L'ÉCOLE, School of Jewelry Arts, Written by Martin Quenehen and Aram Kebabdjian, performed by Edoardo Ballerini, and produced by Bababam.
