Christian Bale was preparing for his role in American Psycho,

dressing the part, hitting the gym for the first time in his life,

even getting his teeth redone.

There was just one problem.

He didn't actually have the part.

Leonardo DiCaprio did.

Hello podcast fans. It is I, Bruce Valanche. For over 25 years, I worked on the Academy Awards, so you didn't have to.

In that time, I've seen and heard things that should not be seen, or heard or certainly, felt.

And now, for the first time, I'm sharing all my behind-the-scenes stories and firsthand knowledge about the Oscars, the blood,

the sweat, the tears, the slap, all the things you didn't see. So join me as I use humor

and insight to break down the Oscar Awards of the past to explain how and why your favorite

movie didn't win, why some actors and some directors had to fire their

agents, and how the whole process works or sometimes doesn't work. This is the Oscars. What were

they thinking? Available wherever you get podcasts. I'm Alan Sisto, the man of the West, here at The Prancing Pony Podcast. And I'm Sean Marquesie, the real-life Lord of the Mark. Every week here at the Prancing Pony podcast, along with Sean or other co-hosts, I explore the works of J.R.R. Tolkien, author of The Hobbit and the Lord of the Rings, bringing along lots of pop culture references, plenty of nerd humor, and the occasional bad pun. It's just a couple of friends hanging out at the pub talking about our favorite books. We cover just a few pages every episode, reading important sections of the books and having a chat about what we've read. Now, we do a ton of research for each episode so that we can bring as much background information to our conversation as possible. We do all the heavy reading, so you don't have to. It's a great way for first-time readers to learn the basics of Tolkien's world. Well, for Middle Earth veterans, it's a deep dive into their favorite stories. Now, the Tolkien fandom is like no other, so we spend time in the community giving talks at Tolkien events, recording live episodes, and hanging out with our listeners on Discord to engage with

our audience every chance we get. So if you're ready to dive into the most beloved world

and fantasy literature and become a part of a vibrant active community of listeners, then look for

the Prancing Pony Podcast wherever you listen.

Hi, we're the fans of the podcast, Girls Who Don't Get D.

A show that took three women who've never played Dungeons and Dragons before. And threw them deep into a world of magic and make-believe. With nothing but a handful of dice. And a truckload of misplaced confidence to protect them. And why did they ask us to do the ad? Because we're in it too. Join the show that takes you from this. I need to like roll a dice to see if I can do that. To this.
