For more than 30 years, their performances have compelled audiences, initially in small performance spaces and eventually at Carnegie Hall and beyond. They created their most memorable character while still in their 20’s: a boozy, opinionated, aging lounge singer named Kiki Durane, one half (along with Kenny Mellman) of the beloved musical fictional duo Kiki and Herb.

He speaks the language and he understands the history of the region, making him the ideal foreign correspondent to report on the lead up to the Russian invasion in 2022 and the subsequent war in Ukraine. This is not exactly what his folks had in mind when they emigrated from the former Soviet Union in the early 90’s when Simon was a boy, landing in the Bay Area. But it is in Russia and now Ukraine that Simon has realized his dream of becoming a foreign correspondent, writing “the first draft of history.”…

But if you’re fortunate, a window of opportunity opens up. And if you’re ready, the rest of your career and life can await on the other side. The window opened for Sydnie Christmas in 2024.

He’s been saluted with standing ovations in arenas around the league. Sam is understandably most beloved in New York, not only for the four words “the waiting is over” that signaled the end of a Rangers 54 year Stanley Cup curse in 1994, but for the thousands of games when his voice was a part of our lives, a part of our homes.…

For decades, his writing and television appearances have garnered plenty of praise and plenty of criticism, even vitriol. And that reality won’t likely change with his new book “Being Jewish After The Destruction Of Gaza: A Reckoning.” Beinart argues that it’s a reckoning that far too few American Jews are having. You may love the book. You may hate the book. But it’s safe to say that you will not be indifferent.…

Alsu Kurmasheva is a Russian American journalist who works for Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty in Prague. She was detained in her native Russia while visiting her mother in 2023 and later arrested on charges of “spreading false information” about the Russian military, charges that Alsu and Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty deny. While his wife was detained for more than 9 months, her husband Pavel Butorin, also a journalist for Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty, advocated for her release while taking care of their two daughters. Finally, the family’s dreams were realized when Alsu was included in a prisoner swap between Russia and the United States in August, 2024. Alsu and Pavel are back in Prague, busy with work, raising two daughters and getting accustomed to a new normal: life after detainment.…

As an actor, she’s played plenty of moms, long before she got the mom role for which she is best known, Shirley Maisel in “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.” She’s currently playing a mom in the off-Broadway show “Conversations With Mother.” But her own mother’s story might be the most compelling of all: a Jew from Selma, Alabama who got married and raised three kids in Richmond, Virginia. Caroline’s father died young, and Caroline watched as her widowed mom got a job as the lone white professor at the historically black college Virginia Union University, all the while advocating for civil rights in the Jim Crow south. That may sound like a world away from the world of the character Shirley Maisel. But lessons learned long ago in Richmond have been the ties that bind throughout Caroline Aaron’s long and fulfilling career.…

But he felt the need to do more. So he bought a building in downtown Los Angeles. His initial proposal was shot down by his daughter. Craig says she called it “the dumbest idea he ever had.” Here’s to constructive criticism, because the eventual idea, the Pico Union Project, a multi faith community worship and performing arts center, has brought joy and connection to an L.A. neighborhood, just as his music has done for decades for so many of us.…

She’s found joy and memory and escape in her writing about food: witness her latest book The Paris Novel. But there is also the theme that has stayed true to Reichl from Berkeley to the L.A.

He’d written a show at Syracuse University that won a national collegiate award. He’d worked at an advertising agency and radio station in New York before moving to California to write for television. And then in 1963, everything changed. He and his writing partner Sam Denoff started writing for a show that is considered a classic: The Dick Van Dyke Show.

Send us a text It seems easy for former professional athletes to live in the past. They practiced their whole lives to play the game and now it’s gone. Fans are constantly reminding them of games long ago, occasionally waiting on long lines for a picture and an autograph at a card show. New York Rangers fans often remind Stephane Matteau of his Game 7 overtime goal against the New Jersey Devils that led the Rangers to the Stanley Cup Final, arguably the most important goal in franchise history. It was a life changing moment for the fans. And for Matteau too, but not for the reasons you might think. The goal gave Matteau the platform to focus on the present and the future. Not his: the present and future of thousands of kids.Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices…

He once told me “if you combine sociology and humanities and English language (his parents’ academic specialties) with Brooklyn, you get hip hop.

He was announcing a chess tournament with all of the fervor and excitement of Marv Albert and John Madden. 30 years later, his passion for the sport is the same, perhaps greater. He’s an historic figure in chess as the first African American grandmaster. But that’s only a small part of Maurice’s story. The game has brought him into schools around the world, preaching the love of the sport he first learned in the parks of Brooklyn. His passion for chess is limitless, initially preaching a joy of the game and then lessons beyond the board.Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices…
