Welcome back to the studio.  This is My Day of Play, where you’re taken into the real events and actions of how it happens long before the process of editing or cleaning up.  The original purpose of these episodes was to give my broadcasting students something to edit, to practice with and to call their own.  Then I realized that you are just as important.  Share the reality of how it really went.  We begin things with a very famous chef Nagi Maehashi who is hugely popular because of the website Recipe Tin Eats.  There’s a new book that’s adding excitement to cooking its titled Delicious Tonight. Then we’ll wrap things up Dr. Partha Nandi who hosts a global show that pulls in millions of viewers.  Why?  It’s about healing your gut.  This is My Day of Play.  Completely unedited in the way of meeting the wizard behind the curtain.

Knucklehead, a YA poetry collection by ⁠Tony Keith, Jr., PhD⁠., is written as a series of letters to Black boys and men, especially the gay and queer ones, that is full of black-and-white illustrations and unforgettable poetry that will heal, provoke and inspire. While society often assigns the label “knucklehead” to kids with attitude problems, this brilliant and electric poetry collection by spoken word poet and hip-hop educator Tony Keith Jr. subverts that narrow way of thinking and empathizes with young people who are misunderstood and unheard. “A love letter in verse to Black boys and men….Will resonate deeply with readers and poets on a path of self-discovery.”

As Disney deals with the backlash against its live-action version of "Snow White" that has been deemed "woke," there's another problem behind the scenes. There's massive tension between the movie's two co-stars, the liberal Palestinian supporter Rachel Zegler and Israeli queen Gal Gadot.Gadot - who was devastated by the Israeli attacks on Oct. 7, 2023 - is said to be furious with her co-star for publicly supporting Gaza.Last August, Zegler posted on X: "Free Palestine!" - the first of several similar posts on the outlet - and said in interviews: "I can't watch children die. I don't think that should be a hot take. We're nearing one year since the horrendous attacks in Israel on Oct. 7, but I've been following this conflict for so many years. Like so many people, I'm so heartbroken by the loss of life that we're seeing with these insane death tolls coming out of both regions." For her part, Gadot has held several screenings of the film "October 8" and footage of the October 7 massacre at her home in Los Angeles for power players and recently appeared at the Anti-Defamation League's "Never Is Now" rally, where she said: "Never did I imagine that on the streets of the United States, and different cities around the world, we would see people not condemning Hamas, but celebrating, justifying and cheering on a massacre of Jews. This is a time when many of us in the Jewish community have had to find our voice and confront the hatred against us, even if it's extremely uncomfortable. That's been the case for all of us in every walk of life, in every profession, including my own." And it's got to be really uncomfortable for Gadot to promote the movie alongside Zegler. The two have kept their distance - neither appear in each other's Instagram feeds (although they both follow each other for the moment) - and, despite the duo presenting at the Oscars together, they will keep interaction at the March 15 premiere of "Snow White" at LA's El Capitan Theater to a minimum. Even before her X posts, Zegler put herself in an awkward position after being awarded the role by criticizing the beloved original.As she told "Extra" in 2022, the animated film was "extremely dated when it comes to the ideas of women being in roles of power and what a woman's fit for in the world.The original cartoon came out in 1937, and very evidently so. There's a big focus on her love story with a guy who literally stalks her. Weird. So we didn't do that this time. We have a different approach to what I'm sure a lot of people will assume is a love story just because we cast a guy in the movie."
