Desperate to find her way back, Dorothy takes the advice of the Witch of the North and sets off on the yellow brick road to find a wizard…with a warning to avoid forest monsters, heartless mercenaries, and wicked witches. It isn’t long before Dorothy encounters the dark side of Oz, stumbling on a man beaten and bloody, tied to a pole in a cornfield. Not unlike the scarecrows on the Kansas farm. With no memories, the mysterious stranger joins Dorothy. Rook is ridiculously handsome, endlessly charming, and somehow understands Dorothy in a way no one ever has. But when they cross paths with the infamous Tinman and his axe, Rook proves he may be hiding his own secret.

The film traces the turbulent, transcendent life of Gregg Allman: from a childhood ruptured by his father's murder to the soulful emergence that reshaped American music. Through archival recordings, candid interviews, and electric performances, we witness Gregg's musical awakening amid the blues he worshipped, the creation of the Allman Brothers Band with his brother, Duane, that would birth Southern Rock, and the grief that followed Duane's fatal motorcycle crash.THE MUSIC OF MY SOUL explores Gregg's lifelong battle with addiction, his seven marriages (including his high-profile union with Cher), and the late-life sobriety that allowed him to reckon with his past. Featuring never-before-seen interviews, the film examines not just the artist's private wounds but the wider American psyche - race, loss, longing, and reinvention - during Gregg's lifetime. Musicians (such as Jackson Browne), friends, and family illuminate how an integrated band in the segregated South challenged boundaries while forging a sound that was both raw and redemptive. Director James Keach is a Grammy and Golden Globe-winning filmmaker whose past credits include numerous music-centric films such as WALK THE LINE, GLEN CAMPBELL: I'LL BE ME, and LINDA RONSTADT: THE SOUND OF MY VOICE.Here's the trailer: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cJT3aUjPHv4 Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-view-from-the-writing-instrument--1023245/support.

#1 New York Times bestselling author Patricia Cornwell finally tells the story that rivals all of the works that precede it: her own Patricia Cornwell is best known for her international bestselling thriller series about forensic pathologist Dr. Kay Scarpetta, now an Amazon Prime series adaptation starring Nicole Kidman as Kay Scarpetta and Jamie Lee Curtis as her sister, Dorothy. Every story comes from somewhere, and Scarpetta’s began when Patricia Cornwell embedded herself in a morgue. In this achingly honest memoir, Cornwell excavates her own life, detailing her traumatic childhood being raised by neglectful parents, her father abandoning the young family on Christmas day, her mother being institutionalized twice, an abusive foster family, and developing a parental relationship with evangelist Billy Graham’s wife Ruth. Cornwell depicts a harrowing hospitalization and near-death car accident. She unflinchingly shares overcoming obstacles that later gave her the ambition to become an award-winning police reporter. From there it was research in a medical examiner’s office that would turn into a full-time job. She would become a forensic expert and worldwide publishing phenomenon.  Cornwell leaves no stone unturned in this deeply candid account of her life, offering inspiring insight into what made her into the international sensation she is today.  Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-view-from-the-writing-instrument--1023245/support.

Cynthia Schumacher is well into her 90’s and is still writing and publishing books at a solid pace.

Now, at age 97, she has released her first book of short stories, Prose Pizza.“I try to shed light on the hidden, amazing layers that exist under ordinary people’s public lives,” says Schumacher. “These slices of life vary in tone and style, but come together as a coherent, nourishing whole.”Prose Pizza is a collection of nine short stories, exploring themes like hidden desires, identity, and social expectations through ordinary lives, with a style described as charming and insightful. The book uses the metaphor of pizza to represent the many "slices" or perspectives on life, marriage, and individual behavior, offering readers a variety of short, thoughtful pieces. Story themes include: private desires, social expectations, aging, identity, marriage, and the extraordinary within the ordinary. These stories, originally written 60 years ago, represent the slices of life.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-view-from-the-writing-instrument--1023245/support.

Critics have compared him to Henry James (Lucasta Miller, The Guardian), T. S. Eliot (Robert Douglas-Fairhurst, author of Becoming Dickens), E.M. Forster (Edmund White), and F. Scott Fitzgerald (The Daily Mail). Yet James Cahill is an author firmly anchored in the 21st-century world of complicated sexual dynamics, power plays, artifice, and art.  In his highly anticipated second novel, The Violet Hour (Pegasus Books; March 3, 2026), James Cahill unravels an intricate story about love, loss, lies, money, and art. At its center is Thomas Haller, a celebrated abstract painter, the heir to Rothko, whose luminous and increasingly turbulent works inspire reverence from some, provoke eye-rolling disdain from others, and spur bidding wars starting with figures in the multi millions. As we gradually learn, Thomas is not the genius many believe him to be—and he’s hiding more than his questionable creative process.After a six-year vanishing act, Haller is returning with an exhibition of paintings in a color unlike any his avid collectors have ever seen—a soft purple, pulsing and incandescent, with a touch of silver. The show comes as a surprise to not only those obsessed with his work—including ultra-rich New York real estate mogul Leo Goffman—but also to Lorna Bedford, the gallery owner who has represented Thomas for decades, starting with his luminous Pink Paintings. Instead, Haller is making his comeback in London, at the newest gallery owned by a ruthless global dealer, Claude Berlins. At Goffman’s urging—and for personal reasons—Lorna decides to fly out for the opening. Beyond their long-term business relationship, Thomas is one of Lorna’s oldest and dearest friends, despite their complex, painful history.The excitement for Haller’s new exhibit is shadowed by a tragedy. The night before the show, one of Galerie Claude Berlin's associate directors, a young man named Luca Holden, fell to his death from his apartment window. What seems on the surface like an unfortunate accident—or perhaps, suicide—opens up a chapter in Lorna’s past that she has tried to forget. And Lorna is far from the only one in the art world affected by this shattering event.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-view-from-the-writing-instrument--1023245/support.

According to OK! Magazine, “If music were a rom-com, Ashley Paul would be the dazzling lead with a killer soundtrack, high heels, and a microphone made of stardust. From heartbreak anthems to glittering disco-pop bangers, Ashley is that rare combination of power, poise, and pure pop magic.”Ashley was discovered in a Hollywood mall at six years old, toured the disco circuit at 8, and broke out as a teen with her top 20 Billboard charting hit “When Boys Cry.” Fast forward to today and Ashley Paul is building an international fan base for her dance floor gems. Her recent hit “Bingo Baby” generated well over a million streams and her newest releases – including her latest single “Finding Rhythm” – are DJ favorites with regular airplay on Sirius-XM’s BPM and Utopia.

According to a recently published forensic review highlighted by Euronews, investigators now argue Cobain may have been murdered in a homicide staged to resemble suicide. The findings reportedly cite evidence suggesting someone forcibly gave Cobain a massive heroin overdose to incapacitate him before shooting him in the face with a shotgun. The report also points to what researchers describe as an “eerily clean” crime scene, inconsistencies in blood evidence, questions surrounding the positioning of the weapon, and organ damage allegedly more consistent with oxygen deprivation from overdose than immediate death from a gunshot wound. Believable? That is for audiences to decide. But history is filled with examples where murders were allegedly disguised as suicides to close cases quickly and eliminate scrutiny. Names like Danny Casolaro and Vince Foster still provoke fierce debate decades later. If these new findings are even remotely credible, then the next unavoidable question becomes motive — not only motive for murder, but motive for a cover-up. That is where the conversation becomes explosive. It is no secret that intelligence agencies closely monitor celebrity culture because celebrities shape public opinion, trends, political attitudes, and generational identity. Entertainment is soft power. Narrative management matters. And when influential cultural figures drift outside approved boundaries, history suggests strange things can happen around them. Richard Syrett is uniquely positioned to explore this volatile intersection of forensics, celebrity influence, intelligence operations, media manipulation, and the enduring mystery surrounding Cobain’s death. Was this merely another conspiracy theory destined for internet rabbit holes?

From the Emmy-nominated comedian who created "the best segment in late night" (Vulture) comes this hilarious and practical collection of advice for how to live your best life in love, at work, and in comedy. You'd think with a résumé like Jenny Hagel's-being a writer/performer for Late Night with Seth Meyers, and head writer/EP of The Amber Ruffin Show-she would describe her greatest accomplishment as something like sharing the stage with Hillary Clinton, or the six times she was nominated for an Emmy. Yet, for Jenny, landing a joke or going to a fancy award show pales in comparison to her true passion: giving people advice.Jenny is so obsessed with (addicted to?) offering unsolicited wisdom that she runs a sold-out live show in NewYork City called, appropriately, Jenny Hagel Gives Advice. With her debut essay collection, Jenny sets out to backseat drive for as many unwitting strangers as possible. The result is a heartfelt and funny journey through a list of life-changing recommendations, like: wear black when you travel, buy an analog watch, and just because you can go into the monkey enclosure while visiting Honduras doesn't mean that you should.EssaBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-view-from-the-writing-instrument--1023245/support.

Blending legal insight, historical research, and deeply human storytelling, Bernhardt delivers the definitive account of one of the most consequential and misunderstood creator-rights battles in American pop culture history.For generations, Superman has stood as a symbol of hope, morality, and idealism. Yet few readers know the true story behind his creation or the devastating cost paid by his original creators. In The Superman Wars, Bernhardt pulls back the curtain on the legal, cultural, and ethical conflicts that shaped the Man of Steel and forever changed the comics industry. “Most people think they know the backstory of Superman. They don’t,” says Bernhardt. Rather than retelling a well-known pop culture narrative, Bernhardt reframes Superman as history. He traces the character’s creation to two young men, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster, whose work helped define an industry while leaving them financially and creatively vulnerable. Their experience became one of the earliest and most influential examples of creators losing control of their intellectual property to powerful corporations.Bernhardt’s background as a lawyer gives him a unique lens through which to examine the legal battles surrounding Superman. He translates complex copyright disputes into an accessible narrative, showing how early publishing contracts routinely stripped creators of long-term rights in exchange for modest, short-term compensation. These practices shaped not only the comics industry but the broader entertainment landscape.The Superman Wars places Superman within the social and historical context of the late 1930s, a time marked by economic hardship and global uncertainty. Bernhardt explains why Superman emerged at precisely the right moment in American history and why his emphasis on moral clarity and justice resonated so deeply with readers seeking reassurance and hope. The Superman Wars also speaks directly to modern creators. The book raises enduring questions about ownership, fairness, and the balance between art and commerce. Bernhardt argues that Siegel’s story remains deeply relevant in today’s publishing, film, and digital media industries. The book arrives amid renewed cultural attention on Superman, as the character continues to evolve for new generations across film, television, and publishing. Bernhardt contends that understanding Superman’s past is essential to shaping the future and to ensuring greater protections for creators moving forward. Blending meticulous research with compelling narrative, The Superman Wars stands as both a tribute to creative vision and a cautionary tale about power, legacy, and justiceBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-view-from-the-writing-instrument--1023245/support.
