the good fight

Nyambi, best know for his roles on Night Court, The Good Fight, and Mike & Molly, will be joining Billy and Frank on the February 21st episode of A Mick A Mook and A Mic.

Born in Norman, Oklahoma, Nyambi went to Bucknell on a scholarship to play basketball. He also became interested in acting during his final year and decided to study for his Master of Fine Arts at New York University.

After completing his graduate studies, Nyambi worked on the stage, but soon broke onto the screen with a small role on Law & Order, which was quickly followed by a large recurring role on the Melissa McCarthy starring series Mike & Molly (CBS, 2010-16). When that show ended, Nyambi segued into a recurring role in The Good Fight, the Christine Baranski-starring spin off of the hit show The Good Wife.

Be sure to join Mick, Mook, and Nyambi on 21 February for this interesting and entertaining podcast.

In the conclusion of the series entitled, "The Curious Case of Sowing and Reaping" the Apostle Paul encourages the church and  reminding them that we should never grow weary in doing good--for we will reap a harvest if we do not give up. Every Christ follower is in a race, and there will be times when all of us will at some point feel weary...but Paul identifies that time as the time to hang in there and not give up.

«The Good Fight», «The Handmaid’sTale», «House of Cards», «Homeland», «The West Wing» κ.α. Ο αριθμός τηλεοπτικών σειρών με φόντο την αμερικανική και διεθνή που έχουμε παρακολουθήσει εδώ και αρκετές δεκαετίες, είναι μεγάλος. Σε αυτό το επεισόδιο του Podcast Gaslight η Αλεξάνδρα Σκαράκη συζητά με την αναπληρώτρια καθηγήτρια στην Ιστορία & Θεωρία Κινηματογράφου & Τηλεόρασης του Τμήματος Κινηματογράφου του Αριστοτελείου Πανεπιστημίου Θεσσαλονίκης η οποία είναι και αντιπρόεδρος του μεταπτυχιακού προγράμματος «Film and Television Studies» Μπέττυ Κακλαμανίδου για αυτού του είδους τις σειρές, τις ιστορίες που παρουσιάζουν και πώς αυτές προσλαμβάνονται από τους θεατές. 

Today, we can’t stop watching Christine Baranski as the passionate feminist lawyer Diane Lockhart on the CBS All Access series “The Good Fight.” Baranski talks about singing "Ladies Who Lunch" with Meryl Streep and Audra McDonald for Stephen Sondheim's virtual birthday party, her next project with Julian Fellowes and the TV shows she loved as a kid.

Think porn is just a “guy” problem? Think again. This week’s conversation is with Claire, a former compulsive porn consumer and anti-porn activist. Claire stumbled across porn at a young age and what started as a natural curiosity to sexuality turned into a compulsive behavior to watch more, more often, and a more hardcore version. It wasn’t until she was in high school, when her dad brought home some information he learned from a live presentation by Fight the New Drug, that she realized she struggled with pornography. Even then, she kept her compulsion a secret. She now describes how she is “grateful” for her parents catching her when she was sixteen, and perhaps even more so for their reaction. Listen to Claire and podcast host Garrett Jonsson swap stories about their individual struggles, and how Claire has found her way from feeling shame about her struggles to freedom in her story of recovery. If you or a loved one is struggling with pornography, we encourage you to check out our friends at Fortify, an online researched-based recovery platform that has helped tens of thousands of users overcome pornography.

You need little more evidence these days that our country is badly divided than to toggle back and forth between Fox News and MSNBC – two perspectives on the same day’s events that might be coming from two different universes. We have become a nation of tribes. We didn’t set out on Clear+Vivid to explore this divide, but in our conversations about connecting and communicating, the topic kept coming up. On this podcast, Alan Alda has talked to people as diverse as politicians, comedians, and psychologists. From each guest, we've heard not only possible reasons for the current tribalism, but also possible solutions. This episode explores some of Alan's favorite guest insights about we can overcome this "Us" vs. "Them" mentality of tribalism.

Regular listeners to Clear+Vivid know that we have a thing for empathy, as do many of our guests. For our host, Alan Alda, empathy is the indispensable foundation for good communication. But exactly what empathy is isn’t always obvious – nor is it obvious that it’s always a good thing. So, we thought we could look back over the 40-odd conversations we’ve had on this podcast so far and see where and how empathy plays a role in our lives.

How do we come up with ideas? How do we make decisions? And how can we do both better? Steven Johnson has explored this question and written a dozen books about it.

Through their own stories, Steven and Alan Alda share their thoughts about the transformative nature of ideas and what sort of environments best give rise to creativity.

Steven Strogatz possesses a special ability to see into the unseen. How does he do it? Steve is a world class mathematician, who sees through the window of math. But, lucky for us, he’s also a world class communicator. An award-winning professor, researcher, author, and creative thinker, Steve can help anyone (even Alan Alda) understand some of the unseen world of numbers. In this episode, Alan and Steven start from zero, not the number, but from a place of not knowing anything. He emerges from the darkness for a moment as Steve actually gets Alan to understand something that’s always mystified him. Steven's latest book, "Infinite Powers: How Calculus Reveals the Secrets of the Universe," is now available online and at all major book sellers.
