Hank Azaria has starred in dozens of TV shows and movies, both as a full-bodied actor and as a voiceover artist. But the roles he’s best known for are the multiple characters he has voiced on “The Simpsons.”
One of those voices helped win Azaria multiple Emmy awards, but also landed him in hot water—his portrayal of Indian shopkeeper Apu Nahasapeemapetilon.
Azaria spoke to his own obliviousness and his years-long journey from defending his portrayal of Apu to co-founding an anti-bias non-profit aimed at educating people about why such portrayals are harmful on The Man Enough podcast. |

When freshman Sarah Bowling received her dormitory assignment in Emerson Hall at Miami University in Oxford, Ohio, she did not realize her mom had stayed in the same room more than three decades ago! Laura Everett Bowling moved into her first-year dorm room in 1990 and now, 33 years later, her 18-year-old is staying in the same space.
“I said, ‘Are you kidding me—this was my exact room,'” Everett Bowling told TODAY when she realized the incredible coincidence. The 51-year-old graduated from Miami in 1994 with a bachelor’s degree in marketing and now works as the senior account manager for Cincinnati Magazine in advertising and event sponsorship sales. |

It’s not always easy to figure out what mental health condition you have, even after being diagnosed. Sometimes questions pop up after a diagnosis or new symptoms appear that may give you pause. One of the mental health conditions most questioned is bipolar disorder because it seems to contain a lot of symptoms that can overlap with other disorders, especially depression.
Bipolar disorder is characterized broadly by experiencing cycles of depression and mania. Depression symptoms can be so deep that it seems insurmountable and the mania symptoms can be so extreme that people impulsively take a cross-country trip without packing a thing. But since there’s typically a much smaller swing between the two poles, some people may question if their depression is actually undiagnosed bipolar disorder. |

Alan Moore, 69, is a legendary comic book writer best known for “Watchmen,” “V for Vendetta,” “The Ballad of Halo Jones,” “Swamp Thing,” “Batman: The Killing Joke” and “From Hell.”
Moore is known as one of the best comic book writers in the English language, and his advice for fellow scribes is a bit counterintuitive. He believes that it’s as important to read “terrible” books as it is classic literature. |

Toronto-based animator and video wizard Kevin Parry has gone mega-viral for his mind-boggling collection of videos where he turns himself into random objects.
In a series of quick clips he changes into everything from a pumpkin to a bright yellow banana and in most of the videos, he appears to suffer a ridiculous death. The videos combine studio trickery with a magician’s flair. |
