From Monroe Milstein to the Met Gala: Madness

Anne Levine Show ·

2025/06/10

Send us a text A towel with TWO buttons (and any "adjustable" belt) for $925? Welcome to the strange world of Balenciaga and high fashion absurdity. The passing of retail legend Monroe Milstein at 98 reminds us of a more grounded approach to business. The co-founder of Burlington Coat Factory built a $3 billion empire while remaining refreshingly down-to-earth – riding the subway daily, calling store managers personally, and embracing his first coat sale at a $10 loss as his "lucky break." Hi...

2025/06/04

Send us a text Coming to you from the heart of Cape Cod, this episode of the Anne Levine Show dives headfirst into what hosts Anne and Michael have accurately dubbed "autumn in June" – the peculiar weather pattern where New England seemingly offers just two seasons: a lengthy autumn spanning October to June, followed by a brief summer interlude. Fresh off their unplanned hiatus (thanks to Anne's 16-hour tech support nightmare with Apple), the duo returns with an abundance of bizarre stories ...

Send us a text There's something delightfully absurd about today's beauty and fashion landscape, and we're here to unpack it all. While the rest of the world might be discussing severe weather events or international conflicts, we're diving headfirst into the truly important stuff – like why anyone would want fried chicken flavored toothpaste. Welcome to our exploration of the weird, wild world of 2025's predicted beauty trends. From "Caveman Skin" (where you literally do nothing to your fac...

Send us a text We've got a papal election, celebrity soup moments, and dogs celebrating birthdays! Welcome to the delightfully unpredictable world of The Anne Levine Show, where host Anne and co-host Michael Over There™ masterfully weave through cultural touchpoints both global and hyperlocal. The Vatican's white smoke signaled the arrival of the new Pope Leo XIV (formerly Robert "Bob" Prevost), a Chicago-born 69-year-old with surprising inaugural priorities including AI ethics. Meanwhile, t...

2025/05/06

Send us a text How many languages exist in the world? The answer might shock you—7,000 distinct tongues, with one disappearing every 40 days. This linguistic extinction crisis represents one of humanity's greatest cultural tragedies, as each language contains unique perspectives, knowledge systems, and ways of understanding our world that can never be recovered once lost. Between discussions of vanishing languages, we dive into the absurdity of high fashion with Giuseppe Zanotti's $1,000 "Am...

Send us a text A phone call from a relative can be many things – informative, exhausting, hilarious, or touchingly poignant. When Anne receives a call from her cousin Jan (of Jan and Jan™), it becomes all these things and more, unfolding into a masterclass on family dynamics and the art of conversation. The episode begins with Anne sharing her discovery of an incredible vocalist named Nathan Farrell who performs a stunning Joni Mitchell cover. This musical appreciation leads to a nostalgic d...

Send us a text Pope Francis has passed, Sterling K. Brown's "Paradise" is mesmerizing television, and Michael has discovered the joy of creating music with AI. Welcome to another episode of The Anne Levine Show, where our conversations meander through culture, technology, and occasionally, the end of the world. Michael enthusiastically shares his latest creative endeavor: writing lyrics and using AI to generate custom songs. From birthday tributes to twisted lullabies ("There are no ghosts u...

Send us a text The boundary between originality and inspiration blurs as Anne and Michael take us through their recent expedition to the Cape Symphony Orchestra, where Beethoven's revolutionary compositions stirred more than just musical appreciation. The duo dissects the German composer's characteristic patterns—loops of crescendos building to emotional peaks before cascading down to minute whispers—while marveling at violinist Alexi Kenny's technical prowess and conductor Dina Gilbert's eng...

Send us a text Join us as we meander through this expansive journey through the curious ways humans connect—and sometimes miss each other entirely—in our attempts to show appreciation. We kick things off with tennis talk, breaking down newcomer Jakub Mensik's surprising victory over Novak Djokovic before wandering into an unexpected debate about whether our show airs on "Monday at midnight" or "Tuesday at midnight" (a surprisingly philosophical question!). From there, we explore what Anne ca...

Anne and Michael take listeners on an intellectual joyride through linguistics, architecture, animal trivia and space physics. The German language offers fascina...

A Somalian Goodbye

Anne Levine Show ·

2025/03/18

Send us a text Freedom of expression forms the cornerstone of democracy, yet increasingly we're witnessing troubling attempts to silence voices and restrict artistic freedom. When the mayor of Miami Beach moved to shut down an independent cinema for showing the Oscar-winning documentary "No Other Land," simply because he disagreed with its message about Israeli-Palestinian coexistence, it exposed a dangerous constitutional violation that should alarm every American. Government officials canno...

Bikinis to Beekeeping

2025/03/11

Send us a text Remember when summer meant carelessly tossing aside clothes and jumping into any body of water without a second thought? Those days are long gone for many of us, as we shared stories of our dramatic transformation from "bikini queens" to looking like "beekeepers" with our rash guards, wide-brimmed hats, and mineral sunscreen sporting the highest SPF available. It's just one of those peculiar aging realities we never saw coming – wearing more clothing in summer than winter! Spr...

With unforeseen twists and a suspense-filled atmosphere, this film keeps you guessing, even if you think you've seen the end coming. Our review offers a blend of admiration and critique, celebrating Grant's enigmatic portrayal amidst an eerily compelli...

Send us a textIf you were an author, would you write a fictional character named after a notorious real-life geologist? We kick off with some humor about Anne's understandable mix-up with "The Brutalist" and its lead character, Laszlo Toth. We explore the curious decision to name the character after a historical Hungarian known for vandalizing Michelangelo's Pietà. As we dissect the film's success, the highlight is Adrian Brody's performance, which might just snag him another Oscar. And did y...
