Sounds True- Insights from the Edge with Tami Simon


https://content.blubrry.com/sounds_true/PD07117W_gina-Breedlove.mp3

Grief doula gina Breedlove, actress and recording artist, speaks about healing rituals for liberation. We all carry grief in one form or another. Whether it’s unhealed wounds from our past or a heart that’s breaking over the suffering in our world, so many of us are desperately seeking solace and hope. In their new book, Vibration of Grace, vocalist and traditional sound healer, gina Breedlove, brings us a toolbox of rituals and practices to invoke the power of sound as a vehicle of love and liberation—for ourselves, our loved ones, and everyone around us.



In this podcast, Tami Simon speaks with gina about their life and work, sharing insights on: using your voice as a healing technology; how humming soothes a dysregulated nervous system; the communal practice of grief-letting; the “pulling” ritual to release negative energy; processing our “all of a sudden” times; offering love to our bodies; gina’s unique technique for letting go of anger; how intention and inner boundaries help us navigate health challenges; why any practice must be rigorous to be effective; finding sovereignty within our body and discerning what belongs to us; soul retrieval; shifting our narratives around “burden”; and more.



Note: This episode originally aired on Sounds True One, where these special episodes of Insights at the Edge are available to watch live on video and with exclusive access to Q&As with our guests. Learn more at join.soundstrue.com.

The Magical Mystery Tour with Tonio Epstein

The Starry Kitchen; Adventures in the most famous underground restaurant in the Us with Nguyen Tran

Nguyen Tran is a Virginia born, culturally confused Vietnamese American son of Vietnam War refugees who settled in Dallas, TX. There, he worked at a dot.com before the first internet bubble burst. He graduated with a, then useless, Computer Science degree, and moved to Hollywood to sell TV re-runs.

Next, he landed at the famous, and stressfully infamous, William Morris Agency mailroom. In the depths of the 2008 fall of the economy he and his wife Thi Tran created Starry Kitchen, the illegal and underground apartment restaurant out of sheer necessity to survive, which became wildly successful, and he is the author of a cookbook memoir: Adventures in Starry Kitchen: 88 Asian-Inspired Recipes from Americas Most Famous Underground Restaurant.

Old Radio -first Monday overnight of the month

Lux Radio Theater -100th episode

The Plutocrat featuring Wallace Beery, hosted and produced by Cecil B. DeMille

Lux Radio Theatre, sometimes spelled Lux Radio Theater, a long-run classic radio anthology series, was broadcast on the NBC Blue Network (1934-35); CBS Radio (1935-54), and NBC Radio (1954-55). Initially, the series adapted Broadway plays during its first two seasons before it began adapting films. These hour-long radio programs were performed live before studio audiences. The series became the most popular dramatic anthology series on radio, broadcast for more than 20 years and continued on television as the Lux Video Theatre through most of the 1950s.

The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet

Radio Phonograph

The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet started on radio but became a long-running television series, airing on ABC from October 3, 1952 to September 3, 1966, starring the real life Nelson family. The series starred Ozzie Nelson and his wife, singer Harriet Nelson, and their young sons, David Nelson and Eric Nelson, better known as Ricky. The series attracted large audiences; although it was never a top-ten hit, it became synonymous with the 1950s ideal US family life. It is the longest-running "live-action" non-animated sitcom in US TV history.



When Red Skelton was drafted in March of 1944, Ozzie Nelson was prompted to create his own family situation comedy. The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet launched on CBS on October 8, 1944, making a mid-season switch to NBC in 1949. The final years of the radio series were on ABC (the former NBC Blue Network) from October 14, 1949 to June 18, 1954. In total 402 radio episodes were produced. In an arrangement that amplified the growing pains of American broadcasting, as radio "grew up" into television, the Nelsons' deal with ABC gave the network the option to move their program to television. The struggling network needed proven talent that was not about to defect to the more established and wealthier networks like CBS or NBC.



The Nelsons' sons, David and Ricky, did not join the cast until the radio show's fifth year. The two boys were played by professional actors prior to their joining because both were too young to perform. The role of David was played by Joel Davis from 1944 until 1945. Tommy Bernard and Henry Blair appeared as Ricky. Other cast members included John Brown as Syd "Thorny" Thornberry, Lurene Tuttle as Harriet's mother, Bea Benaderet as Gloria, Janet Waldo as Emmy Lou, and Dick Trout as Roger. Vocalists included Harriet Nelson, The King Sisters, and Ozzie Nelson. The announcers were Jack Bailey and Verne Smith. The music was by Billy May and Ozzie Nelson. The producers were Dave Elton and Ozzie Nelson.
