Ep 740: The Grammy's and Late Late Night with Ben Winston


Welcome back to the Sisterhood of Sweat podcast, where we celebrate the power of women coming together to support and uplift one another. Today, we have a very special guest joining us - Ben Winston, the acclaimed producer behind the iconic Grammy Awards show. Now, you may be wondering, what does a male producer have to do with the Sisterhood of Sweat? Well, as you'll soon discover, Ben's story and insights are incredibly relevant to the women in our community. Ben has built an impressive career in the entertainment industry, but what sets him apart is his unwavering commitment to collaboration, kindness, and embracing change. In our conversation, he shares the valuable lessons he's learned about surrounding yourself with experts, continuously learning, and the transformative power of connection. His perspective on navigating the ups and downs of the industry, as well as his advice for aspiring professionals, are sure to resonate with the ambitious, driven women in our audience. Ben's humility and passion for his craft are truly inspiring, and we know his words will leave you feeling empowered and ready to take on new challenges. So get ready to be motivated, uplifted, and reminded of the importance of embracing your unique path. Let's dive in and hear from the one and only Ben Winston.

What I asked:

  • What do you find to be the most enjoyable part, your favorite part of putting this whole [Grammys] show together?

  • What is the difference between the best record of the year and the best album of the year?

  • Do you also pick gospel music? Is that part of this? This the awards as a genre?

  • What do you find to be the most challenging part about getting this and putting this all together?

  • What do you attribute your being this successful at such a young age?

  • Did you dream of doing this when you were a kid?

  • What do you think your secret was to getting these big jobs, you know, for people that are there right now that want to excel in their careers, what do you think was the secret to moving ahead in this industry?

  • What were the things that you did differently, you think, than other late night shows?

  • I was listening to an interview where you talked about when you were first getting your start, like that, you would work for free sometimes, and get coffee. You did whatever you had to do. And I think people are looking for opportunity, thinking it's going to drop like from manna from the sky. Speak to that a little bit?

Quotes: 

  1. "As soon as you start thinking of yourself as successful, then you probably aren't that successful because you're taking your way off the work."

  2. "I've always felt like I'm learning. I will learn something new this weekend at the Grammys."

  3. "The thing that made us different was having James Corden, who was unknown in America but hugely famous in the UK."

  4. "The decisions you make at 17 or 18 can change your life, usually years later."

Ep 735: Journey To America With Newt Gingrich


Welcome to a special episode of the Sisterhood of Sweat. Today, I'm delighted to be joined by former Speaker of the House, Newt Gingrich. We'll be discussing Newt and his wife Calista's new documentary, "Journey to America," which premieres tonight on PBS. Newt is a renowned politician, author, and historian, and I'm excited to dive into his remarkable journey from history professor to public servant. Let's get started with this insightful conversation.

 

We discuss:

  • Newt Gingrich's background and political career

  • Transition from history professor to public life

  • Importance of religion and moral guidance in society

  • Legal vs. illegal immigration

  • Inspiring immigrant stories in documentary

  • Collaboration with wife Calista on projects

  • California wildfires and government policies

  • Helping people recover from natural disasters

 

Here are the 6 quotes from Newt Gingrich shortened:

1. "That hit me that countries can die and that you have leaders who focus on what does it take for the country to survive."

2. "I think when you have a vacuum in your soul and you try to fill it with drugs and alcohol and other things, it doesn't work."

3. "We are deeply opposed to illegal immigration, and we're very much for controlling the border. We believe the President should start by deporting criminals."

4. "She's the Chief Editor for our company, Ginger 360 and she brings all of that. This is our 10th movie together, and she really is the driving force for the movie."

5. "If you were a left wing cuckoo, you could get money. If you were a fireman, you couldn't. And I think we have to recognize how really bad the California system has become."

6. "I think we have to focus on how we're going to help people get back into their homes as quickly as possible and as inexpensively as possible, and that's going to require eliminating a whole range of rules and regulations."

Ep 733: A Flashback To The Twighlight ZONE


On today's episode of The Sisterhood of Sweat, Linda interviews Marc Scott Zicree, author of “The Twilight Zone Companion,” and Anne Serling, Rod Serling’s daughter and author of “As I Knew Him” – a memoir honoring the legacy of her father. 
 
Zicree’s current third edition of “The Twilight Zone Companion” an American Book Award nominee that has sold more than a half a million copies, is an essential guide, featuring episode summaries, critical commentary, and behind-the-scenes stories. The complete show-by-show guide to one of television’s all-time greatest series, covers the celebrated show’s inception through to its subsequent offshoots and remakes, and is fascinating reading for even the most casual fan.  Coverage of each episode includes a plot synopsis, Rod Serling’s narrations, critical commentary, behind-the-scenes stories, and anecdotes from the original artists who created the series, a complete list of cast and crew, and photographs. The Twilight Zone Companion has been credited with creating the modern genre of books on TV series and inspiring a generation of series creators and filmmakers, including J. J. Abrams and Damon Lindelof. 
 
Meanwhile, “As I Knew Him:  My Dad Rod Serling” offers an intimate look at Rod Serling as a father and a visionary, blending personal memories with rare family photos and letters. The soulful memoir reveals the fun-loving dad and family man behind the serious figure the public saw hosting THE TWILIGHT ZONE each week. In 1975, Rod Serling's untimely death left 20-year-old Anne stunned and reeling. But through talking to his friends, poring over old letters, and recounting her childhood memories, Anne not only navigated her profound grief, but gained a deeper understanding of this remarkable man both as her father and as a dynamic writer. In the book, Anne shares her journey, along with personal photos, letters, scenes of her dad's youth, his service in WWII, and her family's time together.

Check out Zibby's podcast:

I LIKE YOU VERY MUCH The series is available on Apple, Spotify, and almost all other podcast platforms.   The podcast, which was inspired by Zibby and Alex’s deep friendship, was created as a way for them to share that bond and connection with their listeners. The pair also celebrate what they appreciate about their guests, where they have fun exploring and understanding more about their friends and colleagues in the industry.  The podcast is a paid subscription (which provides access to the entire first season) where 10 % of all profits go to Save the Children.
