Today's podcast guest is one of those actors where you say, 'Wait a minute, I love her…what do I know her from? And the answer is: Everything. Broadway, film, television, award-winning drama, awkward family dinners – she's done it all. She's been nominated for an Oscar, stolen scenes from Hollywood legends and made us laugh cry and rethink Thanksgiving conversations. If you've ever watched a movie and thought, 'That character feels dangerously real,' chances are it was Celia Weston. You've seen her on "Alice," "Parenthood," Modern Family" and "In the Bedroom," where her performance earned her an Academy Award nomination.

Strap in and fire it up. This podcast has the man, the machine, and a quarter mile of pure nerve. They call him Big Daddy Don Garlits, the pioneer who changed drag racing forever. He was a multiple world champion, founder of the legendary swamp rat dragsters and a hall of fame icon, whose name still echoes down the strip every time the lights drop. Garlits helped turn drag racing into a national spectacle – speed, science and fearless determination. (Photo shows WOKY's Barney Pip and I with our trophies won at the Great Lakes Dragway.)

Some of your probably grew up watching Robert Carradine as Lewis in "Revenge of the Nerds." He was the guy who made being smart not just cool, but heroic. But that's just one chapter in a really interesting career, as he will reveal. Bob comes from one of Hollywood's most well-known acting families that included his father John and brother David Carradine. Robert has spent decades working in film and TV, building a body of work that goes way beyond any single role.

Welcome back to the podcast. Today's guest is someone you're going to love hearing from, Kim Morgan Greene. You might remember her from her breakout role on the classic tv hit "Dynasty," or from her many stage and screen performances since then. Kim's an actress, a singer and a storyteller, with plenty of great experiences to share. But trust me, Kim is way more fun than any soap opera plotline. We're going to laugh, trade stories, and maybe even get a little behind-the-scenes-gossip.

If Captain Kangaroo was a part of your childhood, then you'll remember Debbie "Feebee" Weems. She was a regular on the "Captain Kangaroo" show from 1973 to 1978. She acted, sang songs, and was the voice of the puppet character, Baby Duck. This short interview took place during the filming of the Kangaroo show at Six Flags Great America in Gurnee, Illinois. If you Google "Debbie Weems," you'll see that, sadly, her life ended in tragedy.

Today, we're joined by a true legend of country music, a man whose storytelling has shaped generations of songs and singers. With a career spanning over six decades he's given us unforgettable hits like "Detroit City" and "500 Miles From Home," plus one that we'll talk about, that caused some controversy and was banned from play at some radio stations. Bobby Bare has been celebrated as one of Nashville's most genuine voices. He's a Grammy winner and a member of the Country Music Hall of Fame, and the master of weaving real life into music.

She was the golden voice of the big band era, lighting up ballrooms, radios and TVs across America. She sang two of the greatest big band hits ever recorded: "Green Eyes," and "Tangerine." And, she had a voice that could melt hearts. Helen O'Connell left an indelible mark on American music and culture. She continued to entertain after those sold-out swing crowds faded and she was here in Milwaukee, entertaining with two other golden legends.
