Chatting with Geoffrey Mark - the Guy whose done everything!

from Studio City Now · host Michele Marotta

What can I say about Geoffrey Mark? He is a writer, actor, jazz singer, radio host, show biz historian,  voiceover artist and keeper of my secrets – he does everything! AND – he has had an interesting life.  During this podcast, Geoff talks about his beginning in show business, how he met the love of his life (Joel) in a class, his time in Arkansas (the Klan harassed him constantly), his writing and philosophy on life. Geoff sings “There you go” from Annie Get Your Gun, which is his tribute to Joel. Geoff talks about his best-selling books: The Lucy Book and Ethel Merman: The Biggest Star on Broadway, as well as the Family Affair Cookbook. His newest book is Ella: A biography of the Legendary Ella Fitzgerald. Geoff is also the producer of Nigel: Come Back to me. Geoff is a walking encyclopedia of television history. He also talks about his 32 years of sobriety. Very, very happy for him <3 One of the scariest moments of Geoff’s life was seeing John Lennon’s assassination. Geoff was getting off the New York subway, and saw a figure (John Lennon), ran up to his best friend’s apartment, and John Lennon was gone. I met Geoff when I was 8 or 9, and am so happy I reconnected with him. Just love him to pieces J

Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next.
