Friends,

Philip and I are taking this weekend off to attend a “Premiere Screening” of a movie that I made thirty-five years ago starring the wonderful Michael Moriarty of Law & Order fame. The film was “reimagined” by a Hollywood producer and is living proof that if you live long enough things come around full circle.

We’re reposting a podcast we did months ago before joining Substack entitled “Disney’s Fading Star.” In light of recent developments for the Walt Disney Company, the podcast was a foretaste of things to come. Most of you were not our listeners at the time, so we trust you will find “Disney’s Fading Star” informative and timely.

Thank you for being a faithful subscriber to “Entering Stage Right” and for sharing this podcast with a friend.

Till Next Week!

D. Paul & Philip

Dear Friends,

In this podcast, we take a close look at the violence around us—from the Oscars to the recent White House announcement of “Gender Affirming Care” to the potential of legalized infanticide.

Euphemisms abound on the Left and in the Biden administration, whose primary occupation appears to be “walking back” the president’s recent string of polemical blunders.

It’s a lively conversation on the violence of our age, and the tragic vs. incompetent nature of our Commander in Chief.

To all of our listeners: may this April be a bright and joyous season for each and every one of you.

Thanks for Joining Us!

Philip & D. Paul

PS: And thank you for caring and giving to the many humanitarian causes helping the people of Ukraine.

Dear Friends,

From The Walt Disney Company to the Indiana General Assembly, from Lia Thomas to Sam Elliot, the pushback against conformity of thought and voice is growing.

Join us as we celebrate our 52nd podcast, with grateful hearts for our listeners who now represent 17 countries around the world, from Ireland to India, from Russia to Australia, and primarily the good ol’ USA.

Our prayers continue for all those working to bring peace to Ukraine!

With Thanks for You!

Friends,

While Putin is “purifying” Russia, LA teachers are being pressured to affirm gender ideology and The Walt Disney Company is coercing Governor DeSantis to refute Florida’s “Parental Rights in Education” bill, misnamed the “Don’t Say Gay” bill by the Biden administration and its surrogates in the press.

In many ways, the Left’s domestic demands mirror that of Russia—agree or else! Fortunately, concerned parents, organizations, and an aroused citizenry are pushing back—big time!

Join us in this week’s disquieting but promising podcast!

With Thanks for You!

Friends,

From Putin’s provocative threats to the perversities of gender indoctrination, when is enough enough?

Fortunately, along the way of this stimulating conversation , we’ve some heroes to encourage our hearts.

May our prayers of peace continue for the people of Ukraine.

With Thanks for You,

Philip & D. Paul

PS: For the restless of heart during these turbulent times, give a listen to J.S. Bach’s comforting cantata, Ich habe genug, BWV 82. There’s a fine version on YouTube with the great Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau (see link below). Ich habe genug—“I have enough,” or “I am content”—and may contentment be yours as you find “enough” for this coming week. DP & PCM

Friends,

Join us in this probing and transparent discussion on America’s need for a moral vision in dealing with the Ukrainian crisis. America too is at a crossroads, and only a moral vision will sustain us.

Thank You for Joining Us,

P.S. A correction to today’s podcast: It is Saturday’s issue of the Indianapolis Star, March 5, 2022, not Sunday’s, in which there is no mention of Ukraine on the front page. The question remains—why?

Friends,

Join us as we discuss Russia’s unprovoked invasion of Ukraine through the historical lens of Janet Flanner, the brilliant journalist for The New Yorker (1925-1975), who wrote presciently of Russia’s “patient…telescopic long view” to transform Europe into a “Russian Europe.”

I’m pleased to say in provenance, Ms. Flanner was a Hoosier and always identified as such.

Your support of Entering Stage Right continues to inspire us.

Thanks for Listening!

Friends,

Join us in this lively conversation, touching on San Francisco and Indiana, then focusing in on our “trucker” friends in Canada.

Take a quiz along with us and see if you can tell the difference between fake news and real news. It’s not a very hard test, but the Department of Homeland Security is poised and ready to help you in case you’re having trouble discerning between misinformation, disinformation, and malinformation, as this infodemic sweeps throughout our country.

Please note that all definitions used on this podcast are not according to the Oxford English Dictionary, which is always playing catchup to the evolving, acronymic language—MDM!—of our bureaucracies.

Good luck on the test and thanks for sharing the podcast with a friend!

Very Best!

Dear Friends,

This may be a disturbing episode for some of our faithful listeners of Entering Stage Right. It was disturbing for your faithful podcasters.

We know activist gender ideology permeates academia, but the extent to which it has infiltrated our judiciary is alarming. Join us in this revealing podcast on the re-education of our courts, assuaged by a couple of heroes who “fight the good fight” for true equity and compassion.

With Thanks for You,

Philip & D. Paul

Friends,

From Whoopi Goldberg to valiant truckers to the winter Olympics, this week’s podcast is a wide-ranging discussion on several controversial subjects, including the madness of BLM’s “School Week of Action.”

While Ms. Goldberg should not be “cancelled,” her comments do bear scrutiny. Unfortunately, the thinking behind them is not an aberration, but represents the thinking of millions of people.

Let us know what you think, and as always…

Thank YOU for Joining Us!
