Guess Who's Back?
Less than two months ago, Harry Shearer stated he was leaving The Simpsons when contract negotiations went sideways. However, it seems that all is well again and he will indeed be returning to voice those iconic characters we know and love. Now that he's back, this means that the show will head into it's 27th and 28th season with all six original voice cast members. Excellent.
Talk To Me
You can call it a social experiment or performance art but regardless, it's certainly courageous. Talk to Me was initially staged on an isolated street in Bangalore which many referred to as 'Rapist Lane' because it was common for men to harass and molest women who dared to pass. However, a group called Blank Noise changed that when they set up tables and chairs and invited men and women to sit down and have a conversation over tea and samosas. Talk to Me has won the 2015 Award for Public Art and you can read more about the project here.
