  Let Us Bloom - The Podcast

  En personlig samtale om at vokse op som homoseksuel, omverdenens fordomme og personlige kampe. Denne podcast er på engelsk (ENGLISH DESCRIPTION BELOW).
  
  Skuespiller Johannes Lilleøre, forfatter Markku Haussila og vært Tyge Brink er på papiret meget forskellige - men har også meget til fælles.
  Samtalen udspringer fra lydbogen 'Lad mig blomstre' af Markku Haussila, men frembringer et ærligt billede af, hvordan det har været at vokse op som 'anderledes'.
  
  Johannes Lilleøre, der er indlæser af bogen, fortæller, hvordan historien fra 'Lad mig blomstre', minder meget om hans egen opvækst og liv - lige fra de grænseoverskridende gymnastiktimer i folkeskolen, hvor omklædningsrummet blev angstfremkaldende, til hvordan han i dag selv udfylder rollen som far til sine to børn.

  A personal conversation about growing up gay, societal prejudices and personal struggles.  This podcast is in English.
  
  Actor Johannes Lilleøre, author Markku Haussila and host Tyge Brink are  very different at first glance - but actually have a lot in common.
  The conversation is based on the audiobook 'Let Me Bloom' by Markku Haussila, but provides an honest picture of what it has been like to grow up 'different'.
  
  Johannes Lilleøre, who narrates the book, explains how the story from 'Let me bloom' is very reminiscent of his own upbringing and life - from the transgressive gymnastics lessons in primary school, where the changing room became anxiety-inducing, to how he now fulfils the role of father to his two children.

  Backstage Pass - Tales from...

  David Sahadi

  The world of professional wrestling is paradoxical. Storylines are intricately plotted by creative writers, refined by the agents and the wrestlers the day of the match, and performed live in front of worldwide audiences to evoke drama and emotion. It’s scripted: it’s “fake.” Yet, more often than not, it is the real-life backstage machinations, the behind-the-scenes tales of drama and deceit, of pettiness between allies and adversaries, that feel as though they were actually penned by Hollywood’s finest scriptwriters.
  		 
  David Sahadi’s Backstage Pass is a firsthand account of what occurs beyond the squared circle — stories that are often more compelling and dramatic than anything that occurs on TV or inside a ring. These never-before-told stories are glorious, nefarious, and at times truly unbelievable: five-star mega-bouts between the powers that rule, the leaders and decision-makers who are often in agreement (but mostly at odds), and the superstars themselves.
  		 
  This book is a tale of defiance, decadence, and denial — and you do not have to be a wrestling fan to enjoy it.

  Twentieth Century Seaside...

  A nostalgic exploration of Britain's distinctive and architecturally significant seafront buildings from the 1920s to the new millennium.
  British seaside resorts enjoyed phenomenal popularity for much of the twentieth century. Told chronologically, this book is the first look at how resort architecture around the UK coast kept pace with changing fashions and the increasing competition of foreign destinations.
  Using vintage postcard images, Kathryn Ferry showcases the inherent playfulness of seaside architecture as it evolved from interwar classicism, through art deco and international modernism, to Festival of Britain-inspired mid-century style, then later to seafront tower blocks and the artificial beaches of 1970s leisure centres. Featuring a wide range of building types, Twentieth Century Seaside Architecture explores everything from beach huts and bandstands to lidos, piers, theatres, hotels and amusement arcades.
  As climate change and the soaring cost of living provoke changing attitudes to travel, Britain's seaside has witnessed renewed popularity, making now the perfect time to champion our architectural legacy of domestic tourism. Offering a compelling reassessment, Twentieth Century Seaside Architecture will appeal to fans of architecture and design who love to be beside the sea.

  Happiness Included - Jan Brady...

  It’s finally time for Jan, Jan, Jan!  
    
  As Jan Brady, America’s most memorable middle child on the beloved TV sitcom, The Brady Bunch, Eve Plumb has been an enduring icon of American pop culture for over 60 years. Now in an engaging, intimate memoir, she shares the behind-the-scenes story of her colorful and impressively versatile Hollywood career and revelatory recollections of her off-camera life along the way. 
    
  Recognized worldwide as Jan Brady, the wonderfully misunderstood middle sister on television’s The Brady Bunch, actress Eve Plumb has embraced the association that seemed destined at age 10 when she was cast on The Brady Bunch. Her engaging memoir reveals that her stint on The Brady Bunch was only the beginning of her career, a young lady with the confidence and spunk that her on-screen character often humorously lacked.  
    
  Eve Plumb’s six decades as a TV and stage actress reads like a veritable history of the golden age of TV. Her career began when a talent agent in her neighborhood suggested that the six-year-old audition for a national TV commercial. Within a year, Eve was being cast in guest star roles, often multiple episodes, in the top TV series of the '60s and '70s. 
    
  Following five seasons of ABC's anchor Friday night show, The Brady Bunch, and recording albums and touring nationally with The Brady Kids singing group, Eve was cast as the lead in Dawn, Portrait of a Teenage Runaway, at age 17.  A dramatic departure from the sweet Brady family, the NBC hit TV movie came with a “parental discretion” warning in the opening titles. The movie’s success sparked the highly rated sequel with Eve Plumb: Alexander: The Other Side of Dawn. 
    
  Continuous guest star roles filled her young adult life as an actress on highly rated TV shows, including The Facts of Life, One Day at a Time, Fantasy Island, and a multi-episode sitcom called The Brady Brides, featuring Eve as a young newlywed, along with Maureen McCormick from the original series. 
    
  Eve brought her acting experience to the New York stage. Tony-winning Broadway Producer Ken Davenport cast Eve in the lead role for the Times Square debut of Miss Abigail’s Guide to Dating, Mating, and Marriage, with a six-month run.  
    
  Chock-full of Brady Bunch nostalgia and the skinny on countless classic TV shows with recollections straight from the set, this is Eve Plumb as you’ve never seen her.
