  • Sparrow RNICU Kangaroo-a-thon | Michigan Business Beat
    Never heard of a Kangaroo-A-Thon? Sparrow’s award-winning Regional Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (RNICU) is holding a Kangaroo-A-Thon to promote kangaroo care, or skin-to-skin. It’s a way to encourage parents to hold babies skin-to-skin for as long and as often as possible. The benefits of skin to skin are numerous, from allowing babies to grow and gain weight faster to doing better with breastfeeding and improved sleep. January 22nd Jeffrey Mosher visited the unit and observed the process.

  • Grand Rapids 36hour Film Challenge Updates | Show Biz Weekly
    McCallum shares news & updates on the Grand Rapids 36hour film Challenge, of which he is this year’s host. The films will be viewed and chosen this week and Kelsaw is one of the judges. The winners and award ceremony will be held at Celebration Cinema North, in Grand Rapids, February 2, 2018
    McCallum, just returned from his inaugural trip to the internationally recognized, star studded Sundance Film Festival. The love of Park City, the adventures he was invited to and attended screenings of films that are going to blow our minds is shared and hinted at a release date on a major network.
    This film “ The Sentence”, is a true story by a former Michigander and now New Yorker, Rudy Valdez. The story is powerful, emotional and so real it feels surreal.
    McCallum attended HBO’s VIP party while at Sundance, and he recounts his meeting the actor Craig Robinson, and how it was important to not ‘fan’ the celebrities in attendance at such an event.
    Off topic we discuss our likes and dislikes about the television show “Cheers-lol, and we remind everyone to check out the Beerfest, and support the local artist at the 36hour Film Challenge.
    What is the 36hour Film Challenge?
    It is a competition challenging contestants to script, shoot, edit, and submit a film in 36 hours. Participants take inspiration from the theme of transformation and additional thematic elements revealed at the January 26 launch reception from 7 to 8 p.m. hose selected by judging panel will be screened before a live audience on February 2.

  • The Baked-up Love Story of “Waitress” | Show Biz Weekly
    Once again, Taylor Kelsaw and Michael broadcast from the Wharton Center for the Performance Arts on the campus of Michigan State University - Musical theatre is en vogue and the renewed richness of story telling through these productions have found maddening success. Take that sense of warmth and see the “baked up” love story of “Waitress”, with music and lyrics by Grammy Award nominated Sara Bareilles, running now through Sunday!
    We got to sit down with Lenne Klingaman (Dawn) and Jeremy Morse (Ogie) to talk about their roles in this sweet and spicy fast moving show. There isn’t a minute where you don’t feel, and we liked to quote Morse, “hey I know someone like that”. It’s true, the story of being a waitperson is real, and touches the lives of millions. Brielle’s’ songs deliver and the composition first word of the musical is “Sugar!” Klingaman delivers the powerful “When He Sees Me” with the zest and vigor that is “Dawn’s” life at this very moment in time, and she captures the role wonderfully with her performance.
    Morse’s “Ogie” is a totally out there, go for it all, kind of guy and he doesn’t hold back from the opportunity to discover love with Dawn. When Ogie/Morse sings “Never Ever, Ever, Ever, Ever, Getting Rid of Me”, or “I Love You Like A Table”, it speaks a library of how he’s feeling and believing in this relationship. Take a listen to a fun and lively conversation with the actors and you will want to see this musical over and over again! “Pie For Everybody”!!!
