I can hardly believe this moment happened less than a year ago but it was in 2023 that Ariana DeBose opened the BAFTA film awards night with a remarkable display of the unstoppable force of theatre kid razzle-dazzle hitting the immovable object of shoddy yet meticulous lyrics.   Others have provided the kind of line-by-line breakdown that some might find amusing that often leaves me cold, but what I loved about the song was that it married a Bush-era pre-financial crash celebrity naffness with a post-Hillary corporate attempt at intersectionality.

Hello folks, First of all, Happy Halloween! 👻 Today I have the creepy and troubling tale of Grigori Rasputin, mystic, accused lover of the Russian queen, sexual deviant, and all-around bad guy. Hey everyone, welcome to Unruly Figures, the podcast that celebrates history’s greatest rule-breakers. I’m your host, Valorie Clark, and today I’m covering Rasputin. 🎶Ra-Ra-Rasputin, Russia’s greatest love machine…🎵 That’s the one. He’s remembered as the villain in Russia’s history.

Hey everyone, It feels a little strange to say that I am excited to bring you the story of Lepa Radić today. She reminds me a lot of Sophie Scholl, who I covered with her brother in episode #17. But while Sophie Scholl is well-known in the English-speaking world, Lepa Svetozara Radić is not, and I think that’s a shame. So today I am happy to be covering her.

“Sleepytime Tales With Coco Comma” by Sonia Mehta and illustrated by Sunayana Nair. Published by Penguin. A delightful collection of four stories featuring an English ace who cannot tolerate incorrect usage of the language. Coco Comma is the resident English expert of her town. She loves to read books. More often than not, she is found with her nose buried in one. This habit of hers makes her bang into doors or bump into people many a times to their annoyance.

Dear Friend Books Bed Stuy, Brooklyn: 343A Tompkins Ave Another bookstore opened on Tompkins? I can smell my rent going up. Dear Friend Books is more of a cafe than a bookstore. It’s a very nice cafe with multiple ice tea options (I don’t drink coffee so a bomb tea selection warms my heart). Design wise, it hits the three M’s of contemporary Brooklyn: minimalism, marble, and maybe my apartment could look like this if I just put in some effort, dammit!
