Entering Stage Right Podcast

Friends, Today’s podcast digs a little deeper into the Supreme Court’s landmark decision (Students for Fair Admissions v. President and Fellows of Harvard College), in which the court held that race-based, affirmative action programs in college admissions violate Title VI of the Civil Rights Act and the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment—ergo, they are unconstitutional. Bravo to the Sup...

Dear Listeners, Today’s podcast focuses in on several recent Supreme Court decisions upholding the rights and liberties of Americans everywhere. Bravo to the Court! A courageous whistleblower from the IRS steps forward and posits that the Hunter Biden investigation was hindered by the Department of Justice. Attorney General Merrick Garland, who heads the DOJ, continues to deny and divert, putting...

Dear Friends, Today’s podcast continues to focus in on our two-tiered justice system: Hunter Biden gets a slap on the wrist for tax evasion, etc., while thousands of others are incarcerated for identical crimes; Joe Biden mishandles secret documents and no charges appear forthcoming, while Donald Trump is indicted and arraigned on 37 charges, including espionage. They got their man at last! Also,...

Dear Listeners, Today’s podcast focuses in on the two-tiered system of justice that led to the arraignment of former President Donald J. Trump. It’s a free-wheeling conversation that covers the indictment and the unprecedented use of prosecutorial power by the Department of Justice. The Sisters of Perpetual Indulgence are discussed in detail, exposing their anti-Christian bias, specifically their...

Dear Listeners, With the DOJ’s indictment of former President Donald Trump, we’ve entered dangerous political landscape. As Senator Josh Hawley (R-MO) succinctly put it: “If the people in power can jail their political opponents at will, we don’t have a republic.” Concurrent with the DOJ’s indictment (what convenient timing!), the FBI has finally handed over the buried FD-1023 form to the House Ov...

Dear Listeners, This lively podcast highlights a therapist who treated a patient through the narrow lens of identity politics. It is a growing trend within the therapeutic community, which sees a person in collective terms, not as an individual with his or her own distinctive needs. We also highlight: State Farm excluding property-coverage policies in CA; Antioch University’s “Civility Pledge”; te...

Dear Listeners, Excuse the technical glitch at the top of the show, but our podcast begins with an intrusive cough by one of your hosts, which we couldn’t delete. We’ve been assured that the cold is not contagious over the Substack airwaves! Moving forward, this spirited episode covers: President Biden’s insistence that “white supremacy” is the greatest terrorist threat to America; California’s sc...

Dear Friends, We’re “back in the saddle” after a two-week hiatus with a new show covering a wide range of subjects, including: the “bait & switch” governor, Gavin Newsom; the passing of legendary football player, Jim Brown; John Durham’s damning report of the FBI’s “Russian collusion” investigation; the writer’s strike in Hollywood; an update on the Nashville Christian School shooting; a thoughtfu...

Dear Friends, We’re extending our hiatus for another week and offering you one of our earliest podcasts, “The State Wants Your Child,” a lively exchange never before published on Entering Stage Right. Since this podcast aired nearly two years ago, both Washington and California are finalizing bills that would allow their states ( rather than parents) to provide abortions and gender affirming care...

Friends, We’re taking a little break this weekend and posting for the first time one of our earlier podcasts (pre-Substack) with frequent guest, Allen Barton. Allen is a playwright, director, acting teacher, CEO/Owner of the Beverly Hills Playhouse, classical pianist (Steinway Artist), and cousin to jazz saxophonist Paul Desmond. Now there’s a rich provenance. Bottom line—Allen is an artist! You’l...

Dear Friends, Today’s podcast is an assorted menu, the main entrée being Tucker Carlson’s abrupt departure from Fox News. We season the entrée with several side dishes, including news of a democrat supervisor in San Francisco who wants more police in his Tenderloin District (what a concept!), the NIH’s radical experimentation on gender dysphoria (a rather pungent side dish), and a courageous “Kiga...

Dear Listeners, In a quick-paced podcast, we explore the people and elements that constitute the “soul of the nation,” a frequent trope employed by President Joe Biden. In way of a heads-up: the soul of America is not an enforced utility bill based on one’s income; the soul of America is not the “international human rights” directives coming out of the United Nations; the soul of America is not Bu...

Dear Friends, NEWS FLASH: John Q. Public is not to be trusted with what he sees, hears, or reads. Only the ruling-party elites can save him from the “existential threat” of disinformation that is destroying our democracy. Drawing “liberally” from an insightful article by Jacob Seigel, some “experts” maintain, “America must become less free and less democratic.” Neither Mr. Seigel nor we at Enterin...

Friends, Not unlike an Easter spread, today’s podcast is a buffet of subjects, ranging from “tweets” (the animal kind) to Donald J. Trump to the tragedy in Nashville to the “trials and tribulations” of the Church. Heroic people along the way keep us encouraged and focused on the “pushback” role we can all play. In the interim… A blessed Easter Sunday to our Christian brothers and sisters around th...

Dear Friends, Today’s main topic focuses in on the tragic slaughter of six innocents at the private Covenant School in Nashville, TN. It’s a difficult but necessary subject to talk about, as a shroud of secrecy, led by trans ideologues and a complicit media, would shut down open discussion. Of course, if “stricter gun control” is not your axiomatic response to these senseless murders, then “though...

Dear Listeners, Today’s main topic focuses in on the Biden family and their influence peddling.   Led by Congressman James Comer (R., KY) and the House Oversight Committee, the truth is slowly coming out, confirmed by indisputable bank records, which “the big guy” responds to as “not true.” Stay tuned, Mr. President—there’s more to come! We follow up on the shameful, Stanford Law School debacle, t...

Friends, Today’s main topic, The Disappearing Jew , focuses in on an article written by Jacob Savage, “The Vanishing — The erasure of Jews from American life,” tabletmag.com, February 28, 2023. From Harvard to Hollywood, Savage maintains that “Suddenly, everywhere you look, the Jews are disappearing.”  Mr. Savage is spot-on when he writes, “Twenty years ago, if Pat Robertson spoke along these line...

Dear Listeners, Today’s podcast draws heavily from an article written by the provocative writer and brilliant historian, Heather MacDonald ( In Loco Masculi— The feminization of the American university is all but complete. Heather MacDonald, city.journal.org, March 5, 2023). In examining the “feminization” of our universities, Ms. MacDonald maintains that “Female students and administrators often...

Friends, A recent Executive Order by President Joe Biden has put every governmental agency under the scrutiny of an Agency Equity Team, who will monitor the various agencies and submit their findings (through Equity Action Plans) back to the new “White House Steering Committee on Equity” via the Office of Management and Budget and other critical “Offices.”   With the goal of “embedding equity into...

Friends, Thanks for joining us on this free-wheeling show celebrating our 100th podcast. In this special episode, we share a little of our personal narratives, talk about the beginnings of Entering Stage Right, and discuss the art and journey of acting.   In our CA section, we highlight the Black doctor, Marilyn Singleton, who writes: “The malignant false assumption that Black people are inherentl...

Dear Listeners, If you haven’t seen it, You People is the new, hit movie on Netflix. With a solid cast of Jonah Hill, Lauren London, Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Eddie Murphy, Nia Long, and David Duchovny, one would hope this “rom-com” to be something … well … special. Au contraire, it’s essentially, to quote reviewer John Nolte, “…a dumb movie written by sheltered, spoiled, ignorant elitists creating ‘ar...

Dear Listeners, Like most of us, you may not be familiar with the teachings of Judith Butler. Fortunately, Dr. Corinne Blackmer, director of Judaic Studies at Southern Connecticut State University and the target of antisemitic hate crimes, steps us through Dr. Butler’s phantasmic worldview. While we do not address the non-binary Judith Butler in her (their) preferred pronouns of they/them, we expl...

Friends, Thank God, “As California goes, so goes the rest of the nation” is a tired aphorism, incapable of standing up against the conservative states that challenge woke ideology. This week, we take a close look at Senator Scott Wiener, (D-San Francisco, Senate District 11), whose “progressive” bills are making the Golden State a “sex-trafficking paradise.” We also highlight an article from the A...

Dear Listeners, Our special guest this week is Allen Barton, Owner/CEO of the Beverly Hills Playhouse. Allen is a nationally known acting teacher, a Steinway Artist (concert pianist), and an accomplished playwright. We won’t hold his Harvard pedigree against him, for Allen is “fighting the good fight” for freedom of artistic expression in the theatre and broader Hollywood community. Courageously,...

Friends, From Barbados to San Francisco, the demand for reparations is reaching a crescendo, intensified by the writings of Ibram X. Kendi, Ta-Nehisi Coates, and Nikole Hannah-Jones. H.R. 40 (first proposed in 1989 by democratic congressman, John Conyers, MI), has gained traction and is being endorsed by over 200 democrats in the House, the current charge being led by democratic congresswoman, She...
