RE-RELEASE: The Rocky Horror Picture Show (and RIP Dolly Parton)

Author: Appen Podcast Network August 27, 2026 Duration: 1:22:24

In light of the death of Tim Curry at 80, we're revisiting one of our favorite episodes from our series marking the 50th anniversary of 1975: a celebration of The Rocky Horror Picture Show and the unforgettable performance that made Curry's Dr. Frank-N-Furter a pop-culture icon.

Originally released in 2025, this episode features Plaza Theatre owner Chris Escobar and film producer and sound mixer Aron Siegel, who take us inside the movie's extraordinary legacy, the history of midnight screenings and the tradition that continues to bring Rocky Horror fans together in Atlanta.

From audience participation and the legendary Time Warp to the film's influence on generations of fans, this conversation is both a look back at a cinematic phenomenon and a celebration of the lasting legacy of Tim Curry and The Rocky Horror Picture Show.

So, in memory of Tim Curry, we invite you to revisit the weird, wonderful world of Rocky Horror. Give yourself over to absolute pleasure—and get ready to do the Time Warp again.

Since its start in 2019, The Georgia Politics Podcast has served as a steady guide to the political landscape of the Peach State. This isn't just a surface-level recap; it's a focused dive into the mechanics and personalities shaping policy where it happens. You'll hear detailed analysis of the latest from under the Gold Dome, breaking down complex legislation and the political maneuvers driving the news. The conversations go beyond the capitol steps, however, connecting statehouse decisions to their real-world impact on communities from the mountains to the coast. Produced by the Appen Podcast Network, each episode prioritizes clarity and context, whether the legislature is in session or not. Tuning in means getting a clearer picture of how Georgia's House and Senate operate, the key figures involved, and why their actions matter. For anyone curious about the forces directing one of the country's most politically dynamic states, this podcast provides an essential, grounded perspective. It’s designed for engaged citizens who prefer substance over soundbites, offering a reliable narrative of how Georgia's government functions, fights, and finds its way forward.
