    Things were looking up for Robert Schumann in 1840. He was finally getting permission to marry his sweetheart, Clara Wieck, over the objections of her father.

    8 May 2011 | 12:00 am
    Robert Schumann's great ambition was to become a concert pianist, and he was on his way to acheiving that goal when he permanently injured his hand, putting a stop to his performing career. But Clara Wieck, the love of his life, was also a great pianist, and she became the most brilliant and successful piano virtuoso of her time. So Robert was able to pour all his passion for the piano (and for Clara!) into his compositions. This is one of his best chamber pieces, the Piano Trio No. 1 in D minor. *** Schumann, Robert: Piano Trio No. 1 in D minor, Op. 63 The Gramercy Trio +++ Randall…

At film festivals, my mind wanders farther, deeper, and, at the end of 11 solid hours of screenings, straight off the deep end. Occasionally, I think of little nuggets to post.

A jacket doubles as a seat saver, a snack stuffer, and a pillow. Don’t leave home without one.2. Pocket snacks (granola bar, trail mix, etc).3. Collapsible water…

  • Episode 30 - The Droids You're Looking For

    27 Apr 2012 | 9:26 am
    C-3PO. Short Round. Dr. Watson. That funny guy from National Treasure. Just because a character isn't the focus of a story, it doesn't mean he can't make an impression. So, Timothy Deal, with sidekick Nick (or is it Nick Hayden, with sidekick Tim?) take a look at what makes good supporting characters and why they're so essential.Also with us is our own supporting character, Brian Scherschel, who presents Frank Capra's Lost Horizon, a movie that takes the viewer to Shangri-La and back. What more can you ask from the 30th(!) episode of your premiere storytelling podcast? We've been gone awhile,…

We examine evil in fiction--is it psychological, a mistake, a cultural reaction, or something else? All the above?We also present a scene of Satan on trial in "A Bit of Story" and then venture into brighter territory in a whirlwind of other mini-segments. Tune in for philosophical pondering and nerdy silliness in the 29th episode of your premiere storytelling podcast, Derailed Trains of Thought!DownloadShow NotesLoading the…

  • Episode 27 - All You Need is Love?

    14 Feb 2012 | 2:13 pm

In Story School, author Dawn Crandall shares experiences gleaned from her first novel to help us guys understand what makes a romance work. Then in Cinema Selections, movie-lover Brian Scherschel presents "Summertime," a beautiful, conflicted example of romance in movies.So, show your good sense, and your sensibility, and give a listen to an extra-long Episode 27 of your premiere storytelling podcast.And send…

    16 May 2012 | 9:32 am
    New York's​ Liz Menezes is an indie singer-songwriter whose music, even though she doesn't like to categorize it, is best described as Latin pop/rock.  This trilingual artist released her first album, "Yo," in 2011 and will soon be releasing a video to her song "Veneno."  The interview with Spanglish Noise gives us a glimpse into her writing process, influences, and even a tale of a memorable open mic night in Brazil.  It's not often easy being an indie artist, but in Liz's case, her passion for music doubles as motivation – tune in at SpanglishNoise.com or download the…
