Dale Brown

Listen to "Dale Brown Price Of Duty" on Spreaker. Brown has been hailed as “the best military writer in the country” (Clive Cussler) and “a superb storyteller” (W.E.B Griffin).  As readers of his previous novels—including 2015’s Iron Wolf—can attest, Brown is a master at crafting high stakes U.S.-Russian conflicts.  Now, in PRICE OF DUTY, he tackles the most crucial development in weaponry of the modern age—cyberwarfare.  This high-tech military thriller riffs off current events, including recent cyberattacks.  Through the eyes of Brown’s characters (both longstanding favorites and new blood), we see the U.S. and its Western allies come under a diabolical Russian cyberwarfare attack. In a top-secret location, deep in the Ural Mountains, Russian President Gennadiy Gryzlov has built his nation’s most dangerous weapon since the atomic bomb—a fearsome tool to gain superiority in Russia’s long-running battle with the West.  From inside Perun Aerie—an intricate network of underground tunnels and chambers that is the heart of the Russian cyberwarfare program—he is launching a carefully plotted series of attacks on an unsuspecting U.S. and its European allies.  The first strike targets Warsaw, Poland, where Russian malware wipes out the records of nearly every Polish bank account, imploding the country’s financial system and panicking the rest of Europe. When Stacy Anne Barbeau, the besieged American president, fails to effectively combat the Russian threat, Brad McLanahan, on some well-earned R&R with his new Polish girlfriend, Major Nadia Rozek, is called back to duty.  As the Russians’ deadly tactics escalate—including full-scale assaults on Europe’s power grid and the remote hijacking of a commercial airliner that kills hundreds of civilians—McLanahan and his Scion team kick into gear, arming themselves with the most advanced technological weaponry for the epic struggle ahead. A patriot in the mold of his father, General Patrick McLanahan, Brad knows firsthand the price of freedom.  With the world’s fate hanging in the balance, will Scion succeed in turning back Gryzlov before he can realize his terrifying ambition to conquer the globe?  And what will the toll of victory be?

D3L

Listen to "D3L Releases I Wonder" on Spreaker. I love getting together with an artist and break down the layers that grew into a song. Every beat has a story. It reaches beyond the lyrics most have lived longer than five or ten minutes. Getting inside the chapters of process opens the door for exploration. Once there you can't help to find unforgettable respect for the three minutes and forty five seconds the artist happened to put out there to become part of your summer soundtrack.

Peter Gethers

Listen to "Peter Gethers My Mothers Kitchen" on Spreaker. Peter Gethers' mother - 93 year old Judy Gethers - always understood the importance - and interconnectedness - of food and family. Her father owned the legendary Jewish kosher dairy restaurant Ratner’s on Manhattan’s Lower East Side. She discovered a passion for gourmet cooking when she was in her 50s, taking her first job, in the kitchen of the ground-breaking Los Angeles restaurant Ma Maison, when she was 53. She became a mentor and friend to some of the most famous chefs in America, including Wolfgang Puck, Nancy Silverton, and Jonathan Waxman, and eventually ran the Ma Cuisine cooking school, teaching alongside Julia Child among many others. Learning to cook changed her life—and the lives of those around her—and she created her own legendary status in the food world. As her health eventually began to fail, her taste remained, as did her sense of humor and her determination to live life on her own terms. In her 80s, she was robbed of her ability to cook by a debilitating stroke. But her love of food remained, helping her to recover and bringing her closer than ever to her son. At least twice a week, Peter visits her so he can make her dinner, ask questions about her colorful past, and learn her kitchen secrets. Peter decides to learn how to cook his mother the meal of her dreams and thereby tell the story of her life to all those who have loved her. MY MOTHER’S KITCHEN is generously seasoned with Peter’s trademark wit and knowing eye. The book includes a selection of recipes ranging from Ratner’s Matzo Brei, to Tarte Tatin, and from a loaf of challah to salmon coulibiac, as well as family photos. Peter Gethers has written an unforgettable memoir about how food and family can do much more than feed us—they can nourish our souls. About the author: Peter Gethers is an author, screenwriter, playwright, book editor, and film and television producer. His previous eleven books include The Cat Who Went to Paris, the first in a bestselling trilogy about his extraordinary cat, Norton. He is also the co-creator and co-producer of the hit off-Broadway play Old Jews Telling Jokes. He lives in New York City, Sag Harbor, New York and, when possible, Gangivecchio, Sicily.

Chris Blue

Listen to "Chris Blue Winner Of NBC's The Voice 2017" on Spreaker. Our first conversation took place after the opening round of NBC's The Voice. We laughed so hard before the show that when it came time to begin recording I actually feared that much of our energy was spent just in the introduction. But Chris knew we had a higher calling backing the two of us up. Instantly we connected to a deeper purpose and reason for seasons to happen. Which made the journey toward sharing the story wide open with connection. I remember mentioning to him afterwords that I hoped God would open the path for another opportunity to communicate. That moment just took place. The winner of The Voice 2017! Unplugged and Totally Uncut.

Susan Silver

Listen to "Susan Silver The Broadcasters Platform" on Spreaker. Actual students from actual broadcasting campuses across the United States.  Creating conversation is my art.  I want these students to steal it.  Talking with people of fame.  Knowing its time for them to share their story or someone will write it for them.  We are Unplugged and Totally Uncut with Susan Silver. A trailblazer for female writers in Hollywood, Susan Silver has written for some of the greatest sitcoms of all time, creating laugh lines for Mary Tyler Moore, Sarah Jessica Parker, Beatrice Arthur, Bob Newhart, and The Partridge Family. Susan began her writing career in 1971 at The Mary Tyler Moore Show in an industry overwhelmingly dominated by men, who sometimes referred to her as "the broad with beauty and brains." And she was the first and only television writer to be featured in TV Guide wearing hot pants. Now, in her memoir Hot Pants in Hollywood: Sex, Secrets and Sitcoms (Hi Mount Press, May 2, 2017), ( www.hotpantsinhollywood.com ) Susan tells all about her times as a sitcom writer -- from the female camaraderie on The Mary Tyler Moore Show to being considered too old to write for Square Pegs. Silver reveals herself as a modern-day Zelig, working and flirting with some of the biggest names in Hollywood and Washington, DC. From a date with Lenny Bruce (with her Uncle as a chaperone) to reveling in the rapport with a smitten Elvis Presley on the set of Viva Las Vegas; and from communicating with Bill Clinton to having Warren Beatty mess up her date with a presidential candidate. Susan reveals her exciting experiences with movie stars (Sean Connery, Steve McQueen, Clint Eastwood, and James Garner) and fascinating interactions with presidents (Richard Nixon, Bill Clinton, Shimon Peres) -- not to mention athletes and rock stars. And through it all, it's Susan's humor that keeps both her and this hilarious memoir so sparklingly seductive. ABOUT SUSAN SILVER Susan is a trailblazing female writer who began her career at The Mary Tyler Moore Show in 1971. She went on to write for The Bob Newhart Show, Maude, The Partridge Family, and Square Pegs. She continues to teach comedy writing at venues including the Television Academy and the New School and has lectured at the Paley Center, SCAD, and Brandeis University. Susan has appeared on CNN, HLN, Good Day NY, and The Today Show. She has written opinion-editorials for The New York Times and Refinery 29 and had a long running column on newyorksocialdiary.com called “The Search For Mr. Adequate.” Her weekly radio commentary “Susan Says,” which covers news, politics and culture can be heard on an NPR affiliate in Connecticut as well as on-demand at robinhoodradio.com and iTunes. She lives in New York City.

Going Too High

Listen to "Going To High" on Spreaker. If you took 30 mins to sit in the center of a wandering public you'd quickly take note of the amazing amount of questions that people are asking. I love watching the person expected to know the answer. The top three things I hear "I don't know. Well maybe you're onto something. That's to big for me to understand." We think two year old's are terrible? In this age of digital process and Google we've evolved into wanting to know a lot of things. In February of 2016 I bumped into that subject while trying to piece together my sisters unexpected loss of her daughter. Being part of the circle I had a lot of questions only to go deeper then what I was supposed to. Reaching beyond the moment is where the lessons are learned. How do you react to answers when they've arrived and you just walked by because another question had unexpectedly appeared on the corners of your imagination meeting your lips?

Kendrick Lamar

Listen to "rBeatz Music Update Kendrick Lamar The Process" on Spreaker. Hip Hop has always carried the beat of the street.

3LAU

Listen to "rBeatz Music Update 3LAU On Musics Future" on Spreaker. One look at the calendar and it's difficult to digest how quickly 2017 is moving. There's only one thing faster. The world of music.

His latest release on rBeatz Radio is On My Mind.

Carlos Mencia

Listen to "Carlos Mencia The Doctor Of Reality Laughter" on Spreaker. One of the most aware comics on the planet. He's able to look at chaos and center his gravity on creating laughter. When Carlos and I get together you know we're going places that others never travel. Only to come face to face with ideas the world hasn't heard about yet. It all starts the moment the door is opened. It's like we're long distance cousins connected by two cans hooked up to a single string.

Dillon Francis

Listen to "rBeatz Music Update Dillon Francis Breaks Into A Concert" on Spreaker.

Pamela Paul

Listen to "Pamela Paul My Life With Bob" on Spreaker. Pamela Paul has kept a single book by her side for twenty-eight years – carried throughout high school and college, hauled from Paris to London to Thailand, from job to job, safely packed away and then carefully moved from apartment to house to its current perch on a shelf over her desk. It is reliable if frayed, anonymous looking yet deeply personal. This book has a name: Bob. Bob is Paul’s Book of Books, a journal that records every book she’s ever read, from Sweet Valley High to Anna Karenina, from Catch-22 to Swimming to Cambodia. It recounts a journey in reading that reflects her inner life – her fantasies and hopes, her mistakes and missteps, her dreams and her ideas, both half-baked and wholehearted. Her life, in turn, influences the books she chooses, whether for solace or escape, information or sheer entertainment. But MY LIFE WITH BOB isn’t really about those books. It’s about the deep and powerful relationship between book and reader. It’s about the way books provide each of us the perspective, courage, companionship, and imperfect self-knowledge to forge our own path. It’s about why we read what we read and how those choices make us who we are. It’s about how we make our own stories.

Behind the sex appeal and fashion zeal, Joelle lives by the ‘less is more' mantra – creating a life with her family that’s tied to nature.

Brandon Webb

Listen to "Brandon Webb The Killing School" on Spreaker. As a SEAL sniper and combat veteran, Brandon Webb was tapped to revamp the U.S. Naval Special Warfare (SEAL) Scout/Sniper School, incorporating the latest advances in technology and ballistics software to create an entirely new course that continues to test the skills and even the best warriors. In this revealing new book, Webb takes readers through every aspect of this training, describing how Spec Ops snipers are taught each dimension of their art. Trainees learn to utilize every edge possible to make their shot--from studying crosswinds, barometric pressure, latitude, and even the rotation of the Earth to becoming ballistic experts. But marksmanship is only one aspect of the training. Each SEAL's endurance, stealth and mental and physical stamina are tested and pushed to the breaking point. Webb also shows how this training plays out in combat, using real-life exploits of the world's top snipers, including Jason Delgado, who led a Marine platoon in the Battle of Husaybah and made some of the most remarkable kill shots in the Iraq War; Nicholas Irving, the U.S. Army Ranger credited with thirty-three kills in a single three-month tour in Afghanistan; and Rob Furlong, who during Operation Anaconda delivered the then-longest kill shot in history. During Webb's sniper school tenure, the course graduated some of the deadliest and most skilled snipers of this generation, including Marcus Luttrell (Lone Survivor), Adam Brown (Fearless), and Chris Kyle (American Sniper). From recon and stalk, to complex last minute adjustments, and finally the moment of taking the shot, The Killing School demonstrates how today's sniper is trained to function as an entire military operation rolled into a single individual--an army of one. “The Killing School reads like a screenplay for the most cinematic military adventure flick you’ve ever seen―except that every word of it is true. Brandon Webb is the real deal, and so are the four Spec Ops snipers whose exploits he traces with pulse-pounding detail.” ― Kris “Tanto” Paronto, former Army Ranger, GRS operator, and coauthor of the New York Times bestseller 13 Hours “An important piece of Naval Special Warfare history―and one hell of a gripping read!” ― Dakota Meyer, former USMC scout sniper, Congressional Medal of Honor recipient, New York Times bestselling author of Into the Fire “There were many reasons Chris Kyle (American Sniper) became the deadliest sniper in U.S. military history. Brandon Webb’s contribution to the SEAL sniper course―their killing school―was a key factor in Chris’s journey.” ― Scott McEwen, #1 New York Times bestselling coauthor of American Sniper and American Commander “Sure to scare the hell out of any terrorist in line for a well-placed sniper shot. The Killing School is a gritty behind-the-scenes look at what makes the modern sniper so lethally effective in combat.” ― Dick Marcinko, founder and first commanding officer of SEAL Team 6, author of the bestselling Rogue Warrior series

It was 50 years ago this June 1st when The Beatles’ John Lennon, Paul McCartney, George Harrison, and Ringo Starr astonished and delighted the world, ushering in the Summer of Love with Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band, a groundbreaking masterwork that became popular music’s most universally acclaimed album. To salute the occasion, The Beatles will release a suite of lavishly presented ‘Sgt. Pepper’ Anniversary Edition packages on May 26 (Apple Corps Ltd./Capitol/UMe). The album is newly mixed by Giles Martin and Sam Okell in stereo and 5.1 surround audio and expanded with early takes from the studio sessions, including no fewer than 34 previously unreleased recordings. “It’s crazy to think that 50 years later we are looking back on this project with such fondness and a little bit of amazement at how four guys, a great producer and his engineers could make such a lasting piece of art,” says Paul McCartney in his newly-penned introduction for the ‘Sgt. Pepper’ Anniversary Edition. “‘Sgt. Pepper’ seemed to capture the mood of that year, and it also allowed a lot of other people to kick off from there and to really go for it,” Ringo Starr recalls in the Anniversary Edition’s book.

Lindsay Arnold

Listen to "Lindsay Arnold In The Dancing With The Stars Finals" on Spreaker. For a second time in seven months, David Ross is going for a championship. Incredibly, getting to compete for this one might be as shocking as the title he won back in November. Well, that might be a stretch. Especially if you are a Cubs fan who waited 108 years for a championship. But the catcher stunned the entertainment world when he and partner Lindsay Arnold were named one of three finalist couples on ABC’s “Dancing With The Stars” on Monday night. Ross & Arnold join Fifth Harmony singer Normani Kordei & Valentin Chmerkovskiy along with NFL veteran Rashad Jennings & Emma Slater for a two-part Finale starting next Monday. Ross & Arnold’s selection, which comes from a combination of dancing scores and fan vote, was a stunner to many on the show including the judges. Olympic gymnast Simone Biles along with partner Sasha Farber had perfect scores for their two dances on the night but it wasn’t enough to move on. The couple earned 34 out of 40 points for their “Foxtrot” routine. When they performed a Tango, their score went up to 36 out of 40. Those performances along with the fan vote has Ross one step away from another championship. Needles to say, the catcher was a bit stunned to be moving onto the final, saying he was “speechless’ on his Twitter feed.

Richard Belzer

Listen to "Richard Belzer Corporate Conspiracies" on Spreaker. It might be billed as the ‘land of the free,’ but for the little guy America has always been a tough place to find happiness. Today, that may be more true than ever. In Corporate Conspiracies, Richard Belzer and David Wayne explain why, taking aim at the big companies that have built their billions on the backs of everyday women and men. Bestselling authors Belzer and Wayne expose the myriad ways that the capitalist regime has got us under its thumbs—from the corporatized mainstream media, to the trillions stolen by big banks and mortgage companies during the mortgage crisis, to the scams perpetrated by Big Oil and Big Pharma. This is a decidedly different side to the stories we’ve all heard and read in the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. You may not believe everything you read in Corporate Conspiracies (Skyhorse Publishing hardcover, May 9, 2017, $24.99), but it’s guaranteed to make you think twice about how corporate America enslaves and cheats everyone.

Ilous quickly became a favorite on Sunset Strip scene in the late 80's before getting signed to Enigma / Capitol Records. After selling over 1.5 million records worldwide and touring with artists such as Foreigner and Alice Cooper; Ilous has continued to release albums well into the 2000’s along with film, song-writing, and television work. In 2009 Terry was contacted to play a handful of dates with multi-platinum recording artists Great White; who are one of the few bands of that era to still be consistently touring to sold out shows. In 2011 the line-up was made official and Great White immediately headed out on an extensive year long tour followed by a new album in 2012 that was highly praised by the media & fans alike.

Terry Ilous on recording “Heaven & Hell” - "Dio was arguably one of the biggest inspirations in music. And this is one of the songs that really influenced my decision in making this album.” He adds: " This has been a long road, but the final tracks sound truly amazing, and are definitely worth the wait. I thank all my fans & band for being a part of this journey and for all your support along the way, I couldn't have done it without each and every one of you."

Paula Poundstone

Listen to "Paula Poundstone The Search For Human Happiness" on Spreaker. What is the secret to happiness? How do we mere mortals achieve it? Is it even possible to find happiness amid the daily demands of our crazy lives? Paula Poundstone, the Emmy Award-winning stand-up comic and professional Doubting Thomas, was determined to find out. One by one she immersed herself in a series of experiments that she hoped would reveal the path to getting happy. Now she presents to all the world her findings in her wildly funny and strikingly wise new book, THE TOTALLY UNSCIENTIFIC STUDY OF THE SEARCH FOR HUMAN HAPPINESS. “Happiness is the trickiest of all emotions,” Paula posits. “It is elusive. If you crack an egg into a bowl and small bit of eggshell gets in there, it slips away at every approach of your finger, but it you don’t bother looking for it and just cook it up, you’re likely to chomp down on it without even trying. Happiness is like a rogue piece of eggshell, I bet.” Still, determined to take a more proactive approach to finding happiness—while exerting her constitutionally-granted right to pursue it—Paula sets out on her quest through a series of potentially life-altering experiments. Hearing that the key to happiness is being physically fit, Paula tries taekwondo (“I have lost twelve pounds, but I have a bad feeling that my fat has a highly developed homing instinct.”). Pushing against her Luddite tendencies, she embraces technology (“I hate auto-correct. I don’t need a machine correcting me. I have two teenage daughters.”) but discovers it’s hard to unplug once she has plugged in and decides that you can miss too much real life while messing around with tech stuff. While taking her daughter camping, the two find some delights, despite a middle-of-the-night encounter with a bear (“It’s good not to be eaten”). Like many of us, Paula is sure that getting organized is the answer and she throws herself into the task not once, but twice (“It’s the ‘staying organized’ that’s the kicker.”). Hoping to reconnect with her kids, the family embarks on an all-day home movie marathon. Later, when the kids are out of the house Paula spends some quality time with her dogs and cats. She tries a New Age route, opening up her mind to inner peace (“Outer peace would be nice, too.”) and becoming warm and fuzzy with everyone she meets (“TSA agents hate hugging.”). Paula experiences some of her greatest pleasure when she takes up swing dancing and when she volunteers at a local nursing home. Throughout her search, Paula brings readers inside her unashamedly imperfect life, as she juggles the needs of three sometimes-not-so-cooperative kids whom she adores despite the challenges (“Parenting is a lot harder than I ever thought it would be, whether your desk is clean or not.”). Nevertheless, she persists! The payoff of Paula’s dogged quest for the secret to happiness is that she discovers much about herself and reaches some profound conclusions: “There is joy to be found in the world,” Paula observes, “even without the possibility of playing the oboe.” And for readers the payoff is that Paula Poundstone has given us a dose of happiness with her hilarious new book.

Mike and the Mechanics

Listen to "Mike and the Mechanics Release Let Me Fly" on Spreaker. A hobby band?  A side project? Hardly. In fact, it’s been 32 years and, with the release of Let Me Fly on April 7th, eight albums since Mike Rutherford formed Mike + The Mechanics, to complement rather than replace Genesis.   “In 1985 we were having the best time in Genesis,” he remembers. “But after 28 years, myself Phil and Tony wanted variety, so we ran our band and our solo careers side by side happily for many years. To be honest, it saved Genesis.  The fact I’m still doing it with the Mechanics just makes me smile.”   Mike Rutherford has much to smile about right now and Let Me Fly distils everything that’s right about Mike + The Mechanics: the songwriting, the life-affirming uplift and the undercurrent of quirk.     Let Me Fly began to take off as the band toured 2011’s The Road, the first album featuring the current line-up: Rutherford himself (guitar/bass), Luke Juby (keyboards), Gary Wallis (drums), Anthony Drennan (guitar), plus vocalists Andrew Roachford and Tim Howar.   “The Mechanics hadn’t played live much, so we started to do what I’d done 40 years ago and build a name.  We did Euro festivals, UK tours and small places and, yes, I really did wonder at my age if it was OK to be at Portsmouth Guildhall, but we got to be a great live band. The chemistry works because we’re all very different people, who’re fun and quirky - if there were any personality problems I couldn’t deal with that, I really couldn’t. We needed new songs though.”   Mike’s friend Brian Rawling, producer of David Bowie, Tina Turner, Cher’s Believe and the Mike + The Mechanics’ hit Now That You’ve Gone played the role of Let Me Fly’s sounding board. Rawling introduced Mike to former Johnny Hates Jazz singer Clark Datchler and, in December 2015 a new songwriting partnership was born.   “We sat down together and from day one it worked. Clark’s a proper writer and he brought something new. I’d send him lines and he’d bring them to life. We never had a slow day.”   Along the way, Mike also collaborated with old friend Fraser T. Smith (Kano, Kaiser Chiefs, Adele, Sam Smith) and Ed Drewett (One Direction, Professor Green), while both Mechanics singers collaborated too. Big studios were out. Instead, Mike and one of the singers would make a demo which would be passed around for the others to embellish and layer by layer, the songs evolved into something special. “You don’t go into studios any more: doing it this way feels like you’re working on the good bits all the time, but the songs really have to deliver.”   The results pleased even the chief Mechanic himself. “The Road didn’t move anyone’s world as we made it just after we’d met. We’ve learned to play together now. For me, it’s about proving I can write a good song, but the older you get, the less you let yourself off with ‘it’s not bad’, the less you pretend and the tougher you are on yourself. The hardest part of the whole process is staying relevant, but anyone who says success doesn’t matter is a liar: what you really want is people to like it. Then you feel it’s all been worth it. It’s as simple as that. Oh and my wife loves it, more than she’s loved an album of mine for a while! Trust me, that’s a really good sign.”   The title track, Let Me Fly, performed by Andrew Roachford provided the album’s title and its emotional centre. “For the sleeve, we used a base jumper leaping around on a trampoline. He had to shave his head for the shoot. The phrase has a lovely, aspirational feel, but the song isn’t just about love, it’s about life. It’s got a great Roach vocal, a choir and it sounds fantastic. I imagine a guy on a hill just letting go and seeing what happens. If you don't try things, you'll regret it for the rest of your life.”   Elsewhere, Let Me Fly overflows with the sense of joy that’s defined the band’s entire existence and, as ever, there’s a host of characters, not all of them upstanding citizens, such as the hapless philanderer of Don’t Know What Came Over Me.

Mark Proksch

Listen to "Mark Proksch From Another Evil" on Spreaker. Mark Proksch is a comedian, actor, and writer, best known for his recurring role on the television series THE OFFICE as Nate, Dwight Schrute's lackey and the office handyman. Since that time, he has appeared on numerous TV shows including: PORTLANDIA, MODERN FAMILY, EAGLEHEART, BOB’S BURGERS, DRUNK HISTORY, NEW GIRL, and ON CINEMA. As of 2015, he currently appears as Pryce on BETTER CALL SAUL. Early in his career, Mark made eight appearances on Midwestern local morning TV news shows as Kenny “K-Strass” Strasser, a supposed yo-yo master who was socially awkward, painfully nervous and appallingly lacking in yo-yo skills and fashion sense. MARK PROKSCH PIECE FROM AMC.COM How did Better Call Saul co-creators Vince Gilligan and Peter Gould find the perfect person to play the clueless, Hummer-driving dim bulb that is Pryce? As luck would have it, actor Mark Proksch knew a thing or two about playing Midwestern goofs. Long before viewers rolled their eyes at Pryce’s antics, Proksch became a viral video star thanks to a series of appearances he made on local morning shows in Wisconsin as Kenny “K-Strass” Strasser, a character Proksch calls a “complete idiot who discloses way too much about his personal life.” To get booked on the shows, Proksch sent out press releases to the local stations touting K-Strass as a yo-yo champion who was going to local schools to teach children about protecting the environment. The bookings quickly started pouring in, and just like that, Zim Zam the Yo-Yo Man was born. However, here’s the kicker: Proksch had no idea how to yo-yo. “[I would] try to hold off on the yo-yo demonstration as long as possible because once I did the yo-yoing, they would know that I can’t yo-yo and they would get me off the show as soon as possible,” he says. “So I would ramble, telling the interviewer about my odd views of child-rearing and about my divorce. … Some it was improv, but a lot of it was stuff that I wanted to say to further the character. … We thought of it as this weird way to tell a story through two, three minute interviews.” Unfortunately, after six or seven appearances, word got around that Zim Zam was a hoax and his remaining bookings were canceled. However, viewers who saw the bits uploaded them to YouTube, where they have gotten quite a second life and even attracted the attention of Gilligan and Gould after Proksch was cast as Pryce in Season 1. “Mark has a special ability that no matter what he does, it’s funny,” Gould says. “There’s something about him. He’s a comedy original.” Adds Gilligan: “I laugh uncontrollably every time I see these videos, and I’m not sure why, other than the fact that this guy is amazingly funny. I think part of what I’m responding too so favorably is the courage it takes to do this, the cock-eyed bravery it takes to go on a television station and play this crazy, inept character who presents himself as a yo-yo master. I said to him when we met, ‘Mark, how do you do this? … How do you be so ridiculous and never break character?’ He just kind of shrugged and smiled and said, ‘I guess that’s who I am.'” Indeed, Proksch – who says he took Gilligan and Gould’s reaction as “incredibly high praise” – says the K-Strass character isn’t much of a stretch from who he is as a person. In fact, he says there’s even a little bit of K-Strass DNA in his performance as Pryce on Better Call Saul. “Every character that I play is a variation of me,” he says. “I have yet to play an out and out asshole or a villain. It’s always kind of a pathetic guy wearing pleats. And that’s what I love. I’m so happy that I get to play these arrogant idiots.” In other words, Pryce doing the “squat cobbler” feels just as natural as K-Strass doing the “blue flying angel.” “If I find it funny, I’ll do it,” Proksch says. “I have no real pride or vanity when it comes to myself and comedy. … So, me sitting in pies? I was all for it.”

Ben Greenman

Listen to "Ben Greenman Dig If you Will The Picture" on Spreaker. "Dig If You Will The Picture" is NOT a traditional biography or a conventional critical consideration. It is not filled with gossip and gotcha moments. It is not simply a survey of Prince’s greatest hits. Rather, it’s a singular attempt to investigate the whole of Prince’s work and thought, to isolate the meaningful moments in his music, to think about the ways in which he provided the soundtrack for a generation, to define what genius means in pop music. Bestselling author and longtime journalist BEN GREENMAN applies his encyclopedic knowledge of Prince and his music to the man and to the time in which he lived. He moves from his own suburban upbringing in Miami to Prince's history in Minneapolis, from brash early albums like Dirty Mind through breakout classics like Purple Rain to mature complex works like Art Official Age. Prince is considered as a musician, but also as a gender theorist, an activist, and an independent businessman. In these pages, Greenman illuminates the hidden corners of Prince’s vast discography. Do you know the mid-nineties manifesto “Style”? Do you know the mid-eighties B side “Shockadelica”? Do you know the outtake “2020”? You should. And you will. DIG IF YOU WILL THE PICTURE answers countless questions about this most mysterious and misunderstood of pop icons, including: What were Prince's thematic preoccupations? \How did he change pop music forever? How did he make so much fantastic work? Did he really do it all himself? Why did he go to war with his record label? What did he think about sex, God, and the difference between them? What were his politics? How big was his afro when he was young? And what was with that symbol, anyway? DIG IF YOU WILL THE PICTURE meets Prince at his own level, as a pop-culture provocateur, brilliant manufacturer of meaning, and a complex man who was at once a brooding introvert and a good time.
