Billy Corgan of The Smashing Pumpkins took full ownership of the National Wrestling Alliance (NWA) on October 1st, 2017. In this special report, Adam Spring sat down with Billy and David Marquez (Championship Wrestling From Hollywood) to discuss TV studio wrestling.This included a new show called NWA Powerrr. The first set of tapings for Powerrr took place at the GBP Studios in Atlanta on September 30th and October 1st, 2019. It was the first time in circa three decades that televised wrestling was presented to a mainstream audience in this way. This Remotely Interested special report explores several themes. These include how the internet and decentralized media has helped reshape professional wrestling as a business. The history of professional wrestling, and its importance when establishing the fundamentals that go into how a production is structured. Billy and David demonstrate a deep and passionate understanding of what they want to achieve via NWA Powerrr. The National Wrestling Alliance or NWA was formed in 1948. It operated in a territory structure. Where its core professional wrestling talent would travel to or work with different wrestling promotions. That is, before the industry went to a national television-based business / distribution model in North American (in the 1980s). Ric Flair, Harley Race and Dusty Rhodes are just some of the names associated with the legacy of the NWA. Its stars at the time of this podcast included Allysin Kay, Thunder Rosa, Kamille, Nick Aldis, Eli Drake, James Storm, Tim Storm, Mr Anderson and more…. www.remotely-interested.com @ThatInterested https://www.facebook.com/remotely.interested/ https://www.instagram.com/thatinterested/ National Wrestling Alliance https://www.nationalwrestlingalliance.com https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCSHCTJS2P4Hvu_reLKtiT6g Championship Wrestling from Hollywood https://www.hollywoodwrestling.com/ The NWA Is Worthless, So Why Did Billy Corgan Just Buy It? https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/wnwj49/the-nwa-is-worthless-so-why-did-billy-corgan-just-buy-it Alliance Wrestling http://alliance-wrestling.com/ This is the NWA http://www.thenwapod.com/

Ed Catmull has been at the forefront of computer graphics since his time at the University of Utah. His position as CTO and one of the two founding members of Pixar - which later evolved into a role as President of Disney Animation Studios and Pixar Animation Studios – is just the tip of the ice berg when describing Ed’s career. It is no exaggeration to say Catmull is part of the fabric of the 20th century and early 21st century. That is, via technical achievements like subdivisions of surfaces (for which his work in the field was awarded an Oscar by The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences) and through the stories created by Pixar. The people Ed has called peers throughout his life include many of the architects of personal computing as we know it, such as Alan Kay, as well as iconic figures like Steve Jobs and George Lucas. Ed sits down with Adam and the Remotely Interested Podcast to discuss the years after Pixar went out on its own with Steve Jobs. Part 2 of the interview includes the road to building Pixar into the company that got acquired by Disney in 2009; the importance of short films like Luxo Jr in its history; the Brain Trust and other sociological elements important when supporting and nurturing creativity, as well as the human side of innovation. The interview ends with a name association, which includes founding members of Adobe, Silicon Graphics and Netscape. Ed has called all these people friend or peer in both an organic and sincere way throughout his life.
