The REAL Great Gatsby
Remus: The New Bootleg King is a new podcast from Karen Abbott, New York Times-bestselling author.
Listeners will be invited into the world of George Remus,
a teetotaling bootlegger, erudite madman, and a real-life inspiration
for Jay Gatsby.
His wife, Imogene, was his crown jewel. Together they
ruled their empire from Cincinnati, bribing officials and living a life
of luxury. But Remus’ world came crashing down
when a pioneering prosecutor named Mabel Walker Willebrand went after
him, his wife betrayed him, and he was sent to prison. It sent Remus
spiraling into madness—with deadly results.
Tune in Tuesdays.
A Podcast For Hallmark Christmas movie fans
Okay, you are given permission to make fun of me. Yes, I enjoy Hallmark Christmas movies. My favorites are The Christmas House, Next Stop Christmas, A Timeless Christmas, and Christmas With The Darlings.
Can you blame me? Election deniers? Vaccine deniers? Insurrection deniers? Racism deniers? I need a break from reality. Say hello to Hallmark Christmas movies. Where society's blemishes are well hidden, and everyone gets along.
Hallmark Junkies is the podcast perfect for any Hallmark Christmas movie fan. Join Kerri
Carpenter, a published romance author, industry insider and Hallmark
super-fan,
and Jenny Mitchell, Kerri's best friend and certified Hallmark junkie,
as they review these movies.
In 2022, iHeartMedia and Seneca Women, a global women’s leadership platform, announced
the first-ever Seneca Women Podcast Academy, a program designed to help
amplify the voices of women in podcasting.
The inaugural class consisted of 10 winners from iHeartMedia’s nationwide initiative, “Seneca
Women to Hear: The Search For the Next Great Female Podcasters,” which
set out to find the next breakout female podcast stars. The Seneca Women
Podcast Academy helped these winners develop and launch their own
shows on the Seneca Women Podcast Network, distributed by iHeartMedia.
The six-week intensive program kicked off in May and included
one lecture per week with direct access to industry-leading mentors, all
women who are at the top of their respective fields in podcasting.
These workshops were led by established podcast hosts, producers and
executives, allowing the winners to gain valuable information about all
aspects of the podcast business including development, sound
engineering, distribution, marketing, sales, and overall operations.
Creators also received a stipend and top-of-the-line audio equipment
to produce episodes of their shows, which will all become part of the
Seneca Women Podcast Network.
Carpenter and Mitchell were attendees at the Seneca Women Podcast Academy and launched this podcast via that program.
Right now, Hallmark is doing a Christmas In July event with Christmas movies playing while the country bakes in the heat and the humidity. I think it's even hot and steamy at the North Pole,
You’ll hear Kerri Carpenter and Jenny Mitchell break down the
Hallmark Christmas movies you can’t get enough of—all the old
classics plus the new movies coming out this year. Their first episode explores the movie "Christmas Under Wraps" with Candace Cameron Bure.
Don’t miss out on “Hallmark Junkies” premiering every Thursday.
