Sixteenth Minute (of Fame) is a weekly show from Jamie Loftus that takes a closer look at the internet’s main characters – one part reported, one part interviews, and one part Jamie collapsing her permanently internet-damaged brain. Whether it’s an enduring meme or a dreaded Character of the Day distinction, it’s the kind of notoriety that often results in little money, unwarranted attention, and a confusing blurred line of consent. What do you do when you get more attention and judgement than any one person is built to handle? The Sixteenth Minute of Fame is the place where we figure that out, putting people in the context of the moment they've been frozen inside of.

In the tapestry of American entertainment, Red Skelton threads a vibrant color of joy. His journey with NBC began in 1939, a time when radio was the hearth around which America gathered. Sponsored by Avalon Cigarettes, Skelton's voice became a familiar comfort with "Avalon Time." As the world braced for change, on October 7, 1941, Skelton offered a new respite, "The Raleigh Cigarette Program." Here, he wove together a patchwork of characters, each unique in their follies and affections, from the lovably disoriented Cauliflower McPugg to the ever inebriated Willie Lump-Lump.One could hear the laughter of a nation in Junior's catchphrase, "I dood it!" — a phrase that wiggled its way into the very lexicon of America. There was the crafty San Fernando Red, with his peculiar seagull companions, Gertrude and Heathcliffe, and the endearing Clem Kadiddlehopper, whose naiveté often outshone the glitter of high society, much to the chagrin of his cynical father.In those times of global unrest, Skelton's show became a vessel for unity, aiding the war effort by selling bonds, and graced by the Nelson family and the melodic waves of the Ozzie Nelson Orchestra.Yet, the laughter paused in March 1944 when duty called Skelton to serve. Despite a trying time overseas that challenged his spirits, he returned with his humor unscathed, remarking with a chuckle, "I was the only celebrity who went in and came out a private."The show's heartbeats resumed on December 4, 1945, with Skelton breathing life into new follies and characters. The show blossomed with the voices of Lurene Tuttle and Verna Felton, the orchestral talents of David Forrester and David Rose, and the vocals of Anita Ellis, before its final curtain in 1949.As time marches on, an irony unfurls: though Skelton's television legacy casts a long shadow, it's the echoes of his radio days that now find a way into the eager hands of nostalgia seekers, a testament to the enduring allure of a voice and a spirit that captivated a nation.

It may seem easy to judge a book by its cover, but behind every book stands many, many people—not only authors, but also editors, designers, marketers, and salespeople, among others. On Behind the Books: A Podcast from IVP Academic, we take the posture of curious learners to explore the humanity behind and within the publishing process, enjoying the intellectual and faith journeys that have brought us to this one-of-a-kind calling.

In our first season of the Behind the Books podcast, we focus on a milestone publication recently released, the second edition of The Dictionary of Paul and His Letters, what we affectionately call “the DPL2.” We think the best way to do that is to hand the mic (literally!) to the three volume editors: the biblical scholars Scot McKnight, Lynn Cohick, and Nijay Gupta. For eleven episodes, they’ll take us on a deep dive into the DPL2 with interviews and conversation with contributors, to share insights from the planning, research, writing, and editing process, and (in the season finale) to take a look back at the creation of the first edition of the DPL thirty years ago.

After fighting for months to make it to nationals to take home the $40,000 top prize, the girls are faced with a tough decision: do they speak up for their political beliefs or do they stay focused on winning the money? And what might this mean for their futures – and their friendships?

Host Shima Oliaee (Dolly Parton’s America, Pink Card) was Nevada’s contestant in 2001. More than 20 years later, she returns to Alabama as a judge.

"Health is more than the absence of disease, so we tackle topics impacting all aspects of your health and wellbeing. Because we trained as doctors together, are dear friends and believe laughter truly is the best medicine, we find joy discussing the profession we love. It’s like being privy to a conversation that you might otherwise never hear; what goes on "behind the curtains,” while providing clarity and insights to complex issues." Hosted by Professor Jonathan Sackier, a surgeon and Doctor Nigel Guest, a family practitioner, with their 50 years of joint experience in the medical industry they bring you Join the Docs. A blend of fun and facts, empowering our listeners with news they can use to seek the best healthcare. After training in surgery in Britain, Jonathan was recruited to America to help introduce laparoscopic “keyhole” surgery. He loved caring for patients, teaching, conducting research and sharing his passion for medicine.‍ Patients’ needs inspired Jonathan to help develop several medical inventions, including the first surgical robot and various devices, diagnostics, drugs and services. Always valuing Nigel’s perspectives, their shared love of science and humour, and driven by the social constraints imposed by Covid, Join the Docs was born over many late-night video calls and virtual cocktail hours! Nigel grew up in Britain’s ‘Black Country’ zealously to his bizarre accent. A Liverpool University educated doctor, he stoically remained in the country’s northwest building a large National Health Service (NHS) General Practice.‍ Motivated by improving patient care, Nigel increasingly became involved with healthcare management, ultimately becoming CEO of a successful and innovative NHS Commissioning Group, overseeing a £350m budget and leading large-scale cancer care and mental health innovations.‍ Driven by a joint love of education and communication, and believing in the therapeutic power of humour, Nigel and Jonathan have come together at Join the Docs to share experiences, educate and hopefully amuse. Stay happy, stay healthy, as it beats the alternative. You spend a long time dead.
