Welcome to Decorating the Set: From Hollywood to Your Home with Beth Kushnick!  Well over a year ago, Beth worked on an indie film co-written and directed by Katie Holmes. That film, Rare Objects, is finally coming out on April 14 and Beth and Caroline are celebrating its release with this special episode. First, the ladies discuss Beth's work on the film and then, they sit down for an exclusive interview with Jake Baer, the CEO of Newel Props (which was heavily involved in Rare Objects - a movie that largely takes place in an antique store)!

Rare Objects will be released in theaters and on demand on Friday, April 14. For more information, head to: https://www.rareobjectsfilm.com/ 

The Interview with Jake begins at Time Code: 11:56.

Welcome to Tales From Yaya's: The Your Honor Podcast, your dedicated after-show podcast for Showtime's Your Honor!

This week, on a special episode of Tales From Yaya's, we're happy to bring you our exclusive, post-finale interview with Your Honor showrunner, Executive Producer and writer of the Season 2 Finale, Joey Hartstone! Joey was a wonderful guest and really helped to provide some closure on Your Honor.

GUEST BIO

Photo by Dennis Kwan

Joey Hartstone is a film and television writer. He has written two feature films, LBJ (2016) and Shock and Awe (2017), which were both directed by Rob Reiner. He wrote on the first two seasons of the legal drama The Good Fight. He is currently the showrunner and an executive producer on the Showtime series Your Honor. He is also the author of The Local, published by Doubleday in 2022. Joey lives in Los Angeles with his family.

I became a writer after failing at several other endeavors. I left college midway through a less-than-stellar academic performance to work for my father on his campaign for US Congress. It’s hard to say what I disliked more—working in politics or working for my dad. In any event, I vowed not to do either ever again. My next mission was to become a pilot, which I did… barely. I earned my private pilot’s license but haven’t flown a plane since 2003. I could probably land a single-engine Cessna if my life depended on it, but you wouldn’t want to be a passenger on that flight. My most serious ambition was to become a lawyer. Other than my one exhibition bout in small claims court, this dream never materialized. I like to think I got the best of all worlds though, because as a writer I get to explore all the things I love.

After graduating from Brandeis University in 2005 with a major in political science, I moved to Los Angeles with dreams of becoming a screenwriter. It took a decade of working on several reality TV shows, studying at UCLA, and writing lots of scripts that no one was reading before I wrote a screenplay about Lyndon Johnson that ultimately became the movie LBJ. Making this film was the most rewarding experience of my career. I was lucky enough to reteam with Rob Reiner and Woody Harrelson for our next movie, Shock and Awe.

I also had the immense pleasure of working for Robert and Michelle King for two seasons of the acclaimed series The Good Fight, the spinoff of CBS’s The Good Wife. I am currently the showrunner and an executive producer on Showtime’s Your Honor, starring Bryan Cranston.

I live in Los Angeles with my wife, Abby, and our son, Teddy. Marrying my best friend and creating a family with her remain the two best decisions of my life.

Welcome to Decorating the Set: From Hollywood to Your Home with Beth Kushnick!  Beth recently got a chance to work Benjamin Gillespie, the founder and artist behind the custom lighting design studio, Ovuud. As soon as she met him, she knew she needed to speak with him on the podcast. So, this week, Beth and Mike sit down with Ben to discuss his work, his path to becoming a designer and everything that goes into making his wonderful custom lighting pieces.

The Interview with Ben begins at Time Code: 2:07.

GUEST BIO: 

OVUUD evolved from the desire to keep design simple yet interesting.  Through meticulous selection of materials and painstaking attention to layout, OVUUD provides custom lighting and furniture that gives a captivating visual impression without being overwhelming.

OVUUD is owned and operated by Benjamin Gillespie - a Philadelphia based lighting and furniture designer.  The stylistically pure aesthetic of OVUUD flows naturally from Benjamin's background in carpentry, metalworking, and engineering.  This combination results in a diverse set of Scandinavian-inspired pieces that are individually distinctive yet cohesive as a collection. The primary focus of OVUUD is to utilize next-generation lighting technology to its fullest potential, thereby unlocking new approaches to how a lamp can look, feel, and function.

Each piece is designed by hand in Benjamin's studio in Philadelphia and can be custom tailored to any unique set of criteria. Each piece is also fabricated from locally sourced materials - including Oak, Ash, and Walnut.  Benjamin welcomes you to explore what OVUUD has to offer and see what makes the forward-thinking lighting and furniture design special.

Steven Elton currently serves as the Chief Brand Curator for Brown Jordan, the leading manufacturer of fine leisure furnishings.

With a keen eye for innovative textiles and colors, Elton develops strategic partnerships with companies like Subrella who produce exclusive fabrics for Brown Jordan.

During the next 32 plus years, he has played an integral role in furthering the Brown Jordan legacy established by its founders, by enthusiastically pursuing and sharing their vision of producing furniture of unsurpassed quality and style.

Over the course of his career, Elton has appeared on Bravo, The Style Network and HGTV as well as Elle Décor, Harrods Magazine, World of Interiors, Architectural Digest, Garden Design Magazine, Coastal Living Magazine, Casual Living, Washington Post Magazine, Luxe Interiors + Design and Modern Luxury Magazine. As a prominent curator, Elton is most recognized for the design projects he’s completed or colaberated on at The Ritz-Carlton Paris, The White House, The Oscars Green Room, Smithsonian Gardens, Winterthur, Sandy Lane Barbados, Camden Yards, Yankee Stadium and The Beverly Hills Hotel.

To expand the Brown Jordan brand, Elton has secured collaborations with category-defining designers like industry icons Ann Verring, Richard Fringier and Michael Smith. He exemplifies a commitment to product that not only stands above in form and function but stands the test of time. Elton is the 2018 ICFA Life Time Achievement award recipient, joining Brown Jordan founder Robert Brown and Richard Frinier as the third person from Brown Jordan to receive this prestigious award. Elton is the Industry Mentor for the Building of Arts at SCAD University in Savanah, is a member of the Design Leadership Network, serves on the American Home Furniture Alience board, the Board of Directors for Kips Bay, and is the current chairman of the International Casual Furniture Association board.
