WorldAccordingToYoni's podcast
After an absence of several months (watch or listen to the show to find out why), Yoni is finally back with a new show and a great guest, Dwayne Epstein, author of the NY Times Best-Seller, Lee Marvin: Point Blank, a wonderful biography of the late actor. And, naturally, Yoni has a few things to say regarding the current state of American politics. This episode runs a tad longer than most, so you’ll need to leave yourself a little time more time to listen than usual.

American politics (as usual); his wife having a serious accident which didn't need to happen; an outrageous move by the German government toward the family of a holocaust survivor; the deaths of Stephen Sondheim & Mike Nesmith. Again, a word of warning to the easily offended — this week's show once again brings out the NYer in Yoni, so be prepared for language that may offend the delicate sensibilities of certain members of the audience. He's really pissed!

After a prolonged absence, due to recent physical problems, Yoni is back with his guest, Christopher Korman, son of Carol Burnett Show star, and comedy legend, Harvey Korman. Chris is also the author of the book, "OMG! It's Harvey Korman's Son!" More than a biography of his father, Chris's book is a love letter to his father, who encouraged and supported Chris, who was born with learning disabilities, putting his son's welfare over his own career (even so, Harvey doesn't seem to have done too badly).

info_outlineThe World According To Yoni starts its second year with a BANG, as Yoni has the pleasure of interviewing the Number One "GET" on his list of most-desired guests, two-time Tony Award nominee, Lewis J. Stadlen. In part one, of this two-part interview, Yoni — who considers Lewis his acting hero — and Mr. Stadlen cover everything from what it's like growing up in a theatrical family, to the teachers they've loved and...not loved so much. From there it's on to the start of Lewis's career, in the first National Touring Company of Fiddler On the Roof, to his Broadway debut as Groucho Marx in the musical, Minnie's Boys, and on to the original Broadway casts of Neil Simon's The Sunshine Boys, and his brilliant, Tony-nominated performance as Best Actor In A Musical, for Hal Prince's 1974 revival of Leonard Bernstein’s Candide. They also discuss Lewis's friendship, and close working relationship with Nathan Lane and director Jerry Zaks. There's even a surprise clip later in the show — demonstrating Lewis's comedic brilliance. This is one show you definitely do not want to miss.
