Michael's "radio voice", sets the stage for an enlightening discussion on Lily Miola's "Daydream," a gem unearthed on Britain's Got Talent. We then shift gears to highlight the dynamic role YouTube plays in the music industry, before diving into Snoop Dogg's latest masterpiece, "Missionary," produced with Dr. Dre and featuring an unexpected collaboration with Sting. It's all about the power of discovery and surprise in the music world!

Journey with us as we celebrate the incredible rise of artists who owe their fame to singing competitions. From Meghan Trainor's youthful success at just 30, to the chart-topping careers of "American Idol" alumni like Carrie Underwood, Adam Lambert and Scotty McCreery, we uncover stories of triumph and perseverance. Along the way, we tease Angelina Jolie's portrayal of Maria Callas, a role that delves into the singer's fascinating past with Aristotle Onassis and earned her an EIGHT MINUTE Ovation at Cannes.

The thrill of espionage and the nostalgia of yesteryears converge as we dissect The Agency, a modern spy drama set against a tumultuous global backdrop. Our conversation weaves through the complexities of CIA operations, memories of the Y2K scare, and pays tribute to fashion icon Polly Mellon. And then it happened. We somehow lost around 13 minutes of our show. We didn't have time to re-record so Michael added an episode of Five Minute Mysteries, and old-time radio program unravelling a cunning murder mystery in a Turkish bath steam room, where an ingenious murderer almost commits the perfect crime. It's a suspenseful ride full of twists, turns, and clever deductions that will keep you on the edge of your seat and it's only five minutes long ;)

Join us this week on the Anne Levine Show as we explore tenuous ties to a 1946 Guy Lombardo hit, weaving nostalgia and probably imagination into our Thanksgiving reflections. Together, we savor memories of exquisite feasts and heirloom china, while acknowledging the complex history of the holiday. Despite the rain, Thanksgiving's spirit shines through moments shared with friends and neighbors, even as we grapple with post-holiday maladies.

Experience the unpredictable charm of the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, where in days past hosts like Katie Couric and Al Roker faced high winds and wardrobe malfunctions. We share our accidental parade attendance in 2010, laughing at the logistical chaos and pondering the merits of live versus televised viewing, meaning it's SO MUCH BETTER to see it on TV. As the parade celebrates its 101st year, we recall and truly wonder at the slip and fall Riverdance™ performance and marvel at the enduring American tradition that is the Thanksgiving Parade.

Immerse yourself in our light-hearted reviews and recommendations from the world of television and film and perhaps discover the comedic brilliance of "St. Denis" and the thrilling twists of "The Madness" on Netflix, both of which captivated our attention. We also discuss our thoughts on Saturday Night, the new film about the making of the very first episode of the famous sketch comedy show, Saturday Night Live. Uncanny portrayals of iconic figures like John Belushi, Dan Akroyd, and Gilda Radner made it special. We wrap up with a nod back at RIverdance™ and the cinematic contributions of the late Marshall Brickman, offering a delightful AI described tapestry of entertainment for all.
