Mouthpeace with Michael Bennett & Pele Bennett

Today, we're sharing a peek at a new show from Lemonada Media, So U Think You Can Sports? with Eliot Glazer.

If there’s one thing comedian Eliot Glazer knows, it isn’t sports! And that makes for gloriously chaotic sit-down interviews with some of our most iconic, world-class athletes and sports figures, from basketball legend Charles Barkley to WWE star Becky Lynch to ESPN icon Mike Greenberg. On So U Think U Can Sports?, Eliot (Broad City, New Girl) throws himself headfirst into the sports world with the enthusiasm of a naive, well-meaning buffoon. Endlessly earnest but too dumb to comprehend the basic physics of how a game works, Eliot provides a POV rarely — if ever — seen in the world of sports: the idiot. All the while, he is genuinely curious and determined to understand why sports bring out the most primal behavior in fans. So U Think U Can Sports? is executive produced by Charles Barkley and his Round Mound Media, as well as CBS’ Tracker star Justin Hartley and his ChangeUp Productions.

New series sneak peek! No Magic Pill is hosted by TOMS Shoes founder Blake Mycoskie, who fell apart after building and selling one of the most recognized brands on the planet. After a years-long journey through every therapy and treatment imaginable, Blake is finally talking honestly about the dark side of success and the reality of mental health. In No Magic Pill, Blake travels the country to sit down with survivors, experts, and cultural icons who have looked into the darkness and found a way out. These aren’t stories of quick fixes; they are honest conversations about the daily choices, big and small, that create a path forward.

Are you living your best life now? Not always? This is a podcast for you. Duke Professor Kate Bowler is an expert in the stories we tell about success and failure, suffering and happiness. She had Stage IV cancer. Then she didn’t. And since then, all she wants to do is talk to funny and wise people about how to live with the knowledge that, well, everything happens.

The pandemic introduced many to living with uncertainty. But for some, uncertainty has always been their norm. In this episode, Kate speak to actress Nikki Deloach, who has starred in several Hallmark Christmas movies, but her life hasn’t matched the happily-ever-after plot-lines of her characters. Nikki’s dad was diagnosed with an aggressive form of dementia and her son was diagnosed with congenital heart defects in utero… all in the same week. In this conversation, Kate and Nikki discuss how to live with constant uncertainty, how to stay open to both the terror and the beauty of living close to the edge, and how to make Christmas meaningful when hope is hard to come by. 

CW: suicidal ideation, postpartum depression, a parent grappling with a child’s fragile diagnosis, dementia

Welcome to Olivia's House — the intimate and stylish new podcast from Olivia Attwood that blends sharp humour with unfiltered, heartfelt conversation. From New York to London, Olivia invites bold guests to explore love, fame, family, and everything in between- no topic is off-limits. Expect scandalous stories, laugh-out-loud chaos, and the honest, messy moments that make us human.  So… you are coming in?

In the first episode, Olivia welcomes model, entrepreneur, and reality star Brooks Nader into Olivia's House for a wildly unfiltered, hysterical, and heartfelt conversation. Brooks talks about growing up in a tiny, ultra-religious Louisiana town to manifesting her way onto the cover of Sports Illustrated, surviving a young marriage and dramatic divorce, and discovering the “dance teacher fantasy” that led her to Dancing With the Stars and into a cheating scandal. The two dive deep into sisterhood chaos, why petty energy is powerful, and how the Nader sisters accidentally built Hulu’s next hit family reality series. Chaotic, honest, and laugh-out-loud from start to finish - this episode is a martini-fuelled celebration of fun being back in fashion.

We’re so excited to share a new show from Lemonada Media, Don’t Listen To Us, an advice show for advice-skeptics and wisdom-lovers, hosted by Mandy Patinkin, Kathryn Grody, and their son Gideon. 

Legendary actor Mandy (The Princess Bride, Homeland, Criminal Minds) is the consummate entertainer who shoots from the hip, stage actress Kathryn is the thoughtful connector who sees all the nuance, and Gideon is the brave soul keeping them on track (or at least trying). Together, Mandy and Kathryn have 40+ years of marriage, 140+ years of life experience, and a series of viral social media posts where Gideon interviews them and watches both chaos and wisdom ensue.

They don’t always agree on what advice to give—in fact, they rarely do. But they draw from their highs and lows as artists, parents, lovers, and humans, to give their unique take on real dilemmas submitted by you -- the listeners. Hang out with this family and you’ll walk away with insights you didn’t expect, stories you’ll want to repeat, and comfort knowing that you’re not alone in figuring out how to survive this fakakta world.

You’re about to hear a clip from the first episode from Don’t Listen To us. After you listen, head to: https://lemonada.lnk.to/DontListenToUsfd to hear the full episode and follow the show wherever you get your podcasts.
