Im MDR-KULTUR-Café spricht er mit Knut Elstermann über seinen frühen Einstieg ins Filmgeschäft, sein Engagement für Klimaschutz und die Rechte queerer Künstler. Und die neue ARD-Serie "Die Saat - Tödliche Macht".

Think it Through. Do you know ‘Behavior Reinforcement”? Do you understand ‘Behavior modification'? Do you know how we are programmed? Do you want tomorrow to be better than today? On today's podcast of Living Life Like It Matters, we are going to put our ‘big person' pants on. Life doesn't offer ‘DO OVERS', and it is impossible to go BACK IN TIME. Today Mr. Black is going to challenge listeners to properly process this moment in time. There are times in life that become a ‘fork in the road' moment. Who we hook our wagon to in marriage? Whether we go to college, or to work? Civilian or military, university or technical school, the God of the Bible, or the gods of the world? To remove a life for convenience, or accept the responsibility, and choose life? If you could be convinced that this moment in time is a FORK IN THE ROAD, would you consider that in your vote? The Time is Now to Listen IN, and to Act OUT.  If you enjoy the show, please tell a friend or two, or three about it.

Here's a scenario. One partner is in active addiction. They he or she gets into recovery. But that person has a partner who's been hurt, deceived, betrayed, and really confused, and now that partner is asking...how do I know my partner is making ANY progress in sobriety at all? For that matter, the person in recovery may be asking of themselves, “How do I know I'm getting any better?” Rhys and Ian reflect on shared experiences of acting out, recovery, laboring for greater healing, and working to define, and sometimes re-define, what is sobriety in our individual lives. Defining progress means first defining the problem. We discuss the way that a person engages with a substance or behavior, whether that be alcohol, weed, porn, media in general, food, legalism, or other things. Rhys introduces the question, "What is the desired effect of [behavior of choice]?" Rhys says, "The same substance, used for a different desired result, affects how the relationship with it is." Most recovery programs have a foundational concept of abstinence. We discuss the "Just stop it," approach to Acting Out and whether or not it actually works. We explore more gentle and mindful approaches that tend to work better. One problem with this approach is that people take the attitude of, "Well, as long as I just stop [this one behavior]...then I'm good," and don't pursue any further growth or change. We rant on the limits to accountability software, and how this resource is good and fine, but an over-reliance on it can shortchange the growth process. Ian calls is a game - "Here's another fun thing to hack!" Rhys says it is, "A lazy approach to one's own soul." When it comes to establishing boundaries with the internet in support of abstaining from porn, Rhys is in favor of, "If you're gonna limit access...then REALLY limit access," up to and including removing the internet from your house. An abstinence approach tends to invoke the "White knuckling method," which Ian describes as "Really thin protections against the deeper, weighty reasons for addiction." Ian reflects on the interactions between emotional development and spiritual development, and how some church cultures - in their pursuit of a rigid holiness - have sometimes prevented adequate emotional development, and promoted shame. We reflect on how a more open, and compassionate approach to spiritual growth that normalizes struggle and provides easily accessible venues to openly discuss them, can save us from shame, and help us become healthier. Predictably enough, Rhys gets on the IFS soapbox and encourages us all to consider with compassionate curiosity, all our parts...even the ones that Act Out. When a person who is a system can realize they are a system, they can escape a multitude of confusing and chaotic experiences.

Interviewed the day before her 21st birthday, Yax reveals a source of wisdom and seriousness worthy of a much older person. In her view, the migrant condition as a person who is “Neither from here nor from there” is not necessarily tragic, but rather an opportunity to know oneself better. YAX MONTAÑO: BIBLIOGRAPHY AND LINKS Facundo Cabral & “No soy de aquí ni de allá” (I'm not from here, nor from there”) The song was written in 1970 and is probably the best-known song by the great Argentinean singer-songwriter-philosopher-artivist. It has been covered by a great many artists, among them Alberto Cortez (see Episode #10, Abel Ruíz). The two Wikipedia articles are different but each is quite good: English: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facundo_Cabral (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Facundo_Cabral) https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_soy_de_aqu%C3%AD_ni_soy_de_all%C3%A1 (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/No_soy_de_aqu%C3%AD_ni_soy_de_all%C3%A1) This short Wikipedia piece about the song is short on references but has anecdotic charm Chavela Vargas Wikipedia, as usual, offers good basic information about this amazing figure: https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chavela_Vargas (https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chavela_Vargas) Chavela has also been noticed in academic circles: Jesusa Rodríguez, Liliana Felipe. “Doña Chavela” (119) 31.XII. 1990 Debate Feminista, Vol. 23 (ABRIL 2001), pp. 372-377 Roberto Strongman. “The Latin American Queer Aesthetics of El Bolero.” Canadian Journal of Latin American and Caribbean Studies / Revue canadienne des études latino-américaines et caraïbes, Vol. 32, No. 64 (2007), pp. 39-78 Lourdes Torres. “Becoming Visible: U.S. Latina Lesbians Talk Back and Act Out.” Counterpoints, Vol. 169, Talking Back and Acting Out: Women Negotiating the Media Across Cultures (2002), pp. 151-162 070 Shake As with many younger hip hop artists, 070 Shake is chiefly represented by the Internet—with attendant issues around the reliability of the information thus encountered. http://www.070shake.net/ (http://www.070shake.net/)  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/070_Shake (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/070_Shake) (English)

Entrevistada el día antes de su vigésimo primer cumpleaños, Yax revela una fuente de sabiduría y seriedad digna de una persona ya mayor. En su parecer, el estado de siempre de todxs migrantes, “Ni de aquí ni de allá,” no es necesariamente trágico, sino una oportunidad de conocer mejor a unx mismx. YAX MONTAÑO: BIBLIOGRAFÍA y ENLACES Facundo Cabral & “No soy de aquí ni de allá” La canción se compuso en 1970 y es probablemente la canción más conocido del gran cantautor-filósofo-artivista argentino.

In this track, I have pieced together the words of Nikki Sixx, Will Smith, and Conor McGregor. Tony Robbins is in there, but only as the interviewer this time.  If this is your first time grazing some of my motivation, WELCOME!! My gift, my art, is connecting us all in consciousness. I use the words, ideas, and beliefs of people that have changed my life, to tell a story of transformation. In each motivational clip, I try my best to use the music to guide my speakers and deliver their message in a combined effort towards one main point. The idea of this piece is that you can have life just the way you want it inside your mind. It is possible. It just can't be handed to you. It takes work. It takes SELF DISCIPLINEWhy is that important? The reason that we choose drugs in the first place is that there is a presence of pain and fear in our lives or because we are missing joy in our lives. The way to battle that is to stop placing your joy in nouns; in people, places, and things. Stop placing your joy in things that have to be present in order for you to feel joy. Your joy, your passions, your purpose, must come from within. You must be able to ACT OUT your joy.Find the predicates, adjectives, and verbs that bring you joy. Things that you can DO, that bring you a sense of fulfillment. These things will replace your need to use drugs with what has been missing all along.The cure for addiction has been found.

We interview our friend and radical badass Eleanor Goldfield, about her new film “Hard Road of Hope” which documents the long history and current state of resistance and organizing in West Virginia against the rapacious coal mining and fracking industries that have all but destroyed their communities and the land that sustains them. We also go deep on the meanings and usefulness of words and labels, like “activist” and “anarchist”...and art's role in revolution. What's agitating us? The tension between all the good faith in humanity vibes that comes with successful mutual aid organizing efforts, but also the frustration of knowing that the support is only just temporary and not systemic; laws being passed in states to whitewash U.S. history and punish teachers who teach children the truth; and the existential horror that is the forever reality of plastic waste. Hosted by Milly Harmon, Shelly Williams, Kaitlin Sopoci-Belknap, and Jessica Munger. A Democracy Unlimited Media Collaborative production. Special thanks to Jason Bayless and A Radical Guide for production support and Alfonso Saldaña for support on graphics. Transition music in this episode is from Eleanor's EP, No Solo.

On today's episode of Loud & Clear, Brian Becker and John Kiriakou are joined by Sputnik News analysts and producers Walter Smolarek and Nicole Roussell.Friday is Loud & Clear’s weekly hour-long segment The Week in Review, about the week in politics, policy, and international affairs. Today they focus on the ongoing protest movement sweeping the country, the victories against racist monuments and memorials, divisions between the White House and the military, and more. Confirmed cases of Covid-19 are skyrocketing in a dozen states, mostly in the Deep South and the Midwest as governors insist that their states reopen. In those 12 states, confirmed cases are up more than 50 percent over what they were two weeks ago. Only Utah’s governor announced that the state would delay its reopening to deal with the new cases. Four of those states--North Carolina, South Carolina, Florida, and Nevada--are now seeing a record number of new coronavirus cases. Dr. Krutika Kuppalli, an infectious disease physician and vice chair of the Infectious Disease Society of America’s Global Health Committee, joins the show with John. Large-scale peaceful protests continued across the country this week, and there are plans for more over the weekend. Protesters in Seattle took control of a local police precinct and began handing out free food and water. And statues commemorating confederate leaders continue to be toppled. Meanwhile, President Trump announced yesterday that the Republican National Convention would be moved to Jacksonville after the governor of North Carolina would not allow delegates to attend without wearing masks. Even more controversially, the White House announced that the President’s first post-Covid-19 campaign rally would be held in Tulsa, Oklahoma, the site of the worst anti-black massacre in the country’s history. And that rally will be held on June 19th, also known as Juneteenth, the day on which the entrance of Union troops into the last bastion of slavery is commemorated. Brian speaks with Estevan Hernandez, an organizer with the ANSWER Coalition who has been in the streets helping to organize recent protests. Eleanor Goldfield has just completed a long-form documentary that is unlike anything that’s been done on the issue of fracking and the environment in West Virginia. Hard Road of Hope introduces you to the people of West Virginia and shows you the toll that more than a century of coal mining and fracking has taken on the land and the people of that beautiful state. The film was just selected by the Rome Independent Prisma Awards. Creative activist and journalist Eleanor Goldfield, host of the podcast Act Out!, which airs on Free Speech TV, whose work is at ArtKillingApathy.com, and who is the writer, director, and producer of Hard Road of Hope, joins the show with Brian. It’s Friday! So it’s time for the week’s worst and most misleading headlines. John speaks with Steve Patt, an independent journalist whose critiques of the mainstream media have been a feature of his site Left I on the News and on twitter @leftiblog, and Sputnik producer Nicole Roussell.

Emerging R&B star Porcelan joined us for an exclusive interview on Instagram Live recently. The singer has been keeping us impressed with each song she's put out over the past few years including “Real Thing Don't Change”, “Lois Lane”, and her most recent “Act Out”. Her unique blend of timeless R&B meshed with progress elements from the genre have kept us anticipating each new single. She had the most success with her hit “Lois Lane” which reached the Top 15 on the Billboard Adult R&B Charts. However, some don't realize that Porcelan's journey started many years before this. Porcelan began pursuing her dreams years ago which led to an appearance on 106 & Park, working with Timbaland, opening for Tank, and even touring in China. During this interview, we discuss all that and more. We even touched on her upcoming debut album “Mood Ring” and what to expect on there. Check out what she had to say in the interview above.

Aislinn Sarnacki is an outdoor reporter and editor of the Act Out section of the Bangor Daily News, where she writes about outdoor recreation, wildlife, and conservation. She also produces a 1-minute adventure series where she has already documented more than 350 trails and waterways in Maine and is the author of three hiking guidebooks. In this episode, host Carly Peruccio speaks with Aislinn about her extensive experience hiking on Maine trails, reporting on Maine’s outdoors, and reflections on the importance of conserving Maine’s special places.

Fear begs us to BACK OUT. Frustration tells us to ACT OUT. God calls us to rise above both.

Singer Porcelan stops by #ConversationsLIVE to discuss her love of music and what it's been like to share it with the world. The two discuss her new single ACT OUT and the support of her fans as she looks forward to what's to come. 

I had a bunch of notes planned - updates on travels and new projects that I was gonna share. Best laid plans... Welcome to the new era of Act Out! Talking through some of the craziness we're all feeling - not in a cheapened, let's om together kinda way - but in a deep, anti-capitalist way. Here we are - what does here look like, feel like - and what are folks doing, what can folks be doing - to create that light at the end of the tunnel, rather than wait for the powers-that-be to light their path with the flames of our hope? artkillingapathy.com hardroadofhope.com

The end of an era – a look back and a look ahead, to work that's been done, and all yet to come. It's been almost five years of Act Out! and while this chapter is ending, this book is far from written. We're gearing up for deeper dives – beyond surface headlines and rapid fire news cycles – and we want you to be a part of it.

On this episode of “Political Misfits,” hosts Bob Schlehuber and Jamarl Thomas are joined by Teresa Lundy, political strategist and principle of TML communications, to talk about the wave of attacks on Bernie Sanders over the weekend, the mainstream media’s obsession with ‘Bernie Bros’ and whether smearing Sanders on the basis of the alleged meanness of his supporters online will work. Are nasty memes and comments really as important as the histories of bigotry and exploitation other candidates carry with them, and if not, why are the supposed “bros” getting so much air time?Bob and Jamarl also discuss the Nevada caucus, Sanders’ trajectory in state and national polls, and whether the new, untested iPhone “tool” the Nevada caucus plans to use to track vote counts augurs a repeat of the Iowa debacle. In the second hour, the hosts are joined by Eleanor Goldfield, founder and host of the show Act Out! and co-host of the Common Censored podcast along with Lee Camp, to discuss the opioid crisis in America, including reports that big pharmaceutical companies are going to pay out far less to cover the costs of the crisis they spawned than did Big Tobacco 20 years ago. Looking at reports from over the weekend that brought to light more detail about Democratic primary contender Michael Bloomberg’s decades-long history of sexism in the workplace, Goldfield provides some analysis of the Democrats’ hypocrisy when it comes to racism, sexism and other issues, and questions who the Democratic establishment really wants to beat - Trump, or Sanders. For the weekly Politics of Art segment, the hosts discuss the unpleasant thrills of “Uncut Gems” and the fun of a movie populated by monsters. Finally, they are joined in the last segment by Sputnik DC Bureau Chief Mindia Gavasheli to talk about the latest hit piece on Sputnik. CBS News decided to reach out to Sputnik not for an interview, but simply a statement, in writing their story - and bit off more than they could chew.

On this episode of "By Any Means Necessary" hosts Jacquie Luqman and Sean Blackmon are joined by Vicki Cervantes, North America Coordinator of the Honduras Solidarity Network, to talk about the conditions in Honduras under Pres. Juan Orlando Hernandez two years after his controversial re-election in 2017, which still faces serious questions of legitimacy, how deep corruption and brutal privatization schemes continue to exacerbate the migrant crisis there, and U.S. government's role in putting and keeping Hernandez in power. In the second segment, Jacquie Luqman and Sean Blackmon are joined by Richard Becker, author of "Palestine, Israel, and the U.S. Empire," to talk about the so-called "peace plan" put forward by Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu which was preemptively rejected by the Palestinian Authority, whether regional powers will suuport the deal, and how Netanyahu is using his political connections to keep him out of jail after corruption charges were filed against him today.In the third segment, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Gabriel Kuhn, author of "Liberating Sápmi: Indigenous Resistance in Europe's Far North," and Aslak Holmberg, a salmon fisher, Sámi language teacher, indigenous studies scholar, and vice president of the Sámi Council, to talk about the parallels between treatment of indigenous Sami communities in Europe and global indigenous communities., the history and political struggle of the Sami people and how efforts to address the symptoms of climate change without solving the root causes can lead to "green colonialism."Later in the show, Jacquie and Sean are joined by Eleanor Goldfield, a creative activist, journalist, host of Act Out! Pm Free Speech TV, and co-host of the podcast "Common Censored" with Lee Camp, to discuss why the liberal anti-Trump "resistance" seems to include everyone yet accomplish nothing, how US politics moving so far to the right has made Bernie Sanders such a threat to the political establishment, Pete Buttigieg's staffers of color complaining of undue pressure and disrespect inside the campaign, why NATO countries are re-writing themselves into the liberation of Auschwitz and the role of art and music in movement work.

On today's episode of Loud & Clear, Brian Becker and John Kiriakou are joined by Chase Iron Eyes, a member of the Lakota People's Law Project and a member of the Oglala Sioux Tribe, and by Jean Roach, of the Mnicoujou Lakota, a leading member of the International Leonard Peltier Defense Committee (ILPDC) and a survivor of the 1975 Oglala incident.Leonard Peltier is a world renowned activist, author and long-time leader in the Native American movement. He’s also a political prisoner -- incarcerated for over 40 years as a result of a trial that his supporters say was a travesty of justice. Today the hosts discuss his case and the ongoing movement to win his freedom. Learn more about the movement to free Leonard Peltier at WhoIsLeonardPeltier.Info.Coal miners and nearby residents have long suffered from illnesses and health problems due to the many byproducts of the mining. West Virginia is the second-highest coal producing state and the industry has long been a primary source of jobs in the region. Fracking for natural gas, another dangerous and harmful process, has increased in the area in recent years as well. What harms are done to residents and what alternatives are there? Creative activist and journalist Eleanor Goldfield, host of the podcast Act Out!, which airs on Free Speech TV, and whose work is at ArtKillingApathy.com, joins the show. Earlier in the month, she spent time in West Virginia reporting on how coal mining and fracking are affecting local residents.Our friend and frequent guest Dan Kovalik is coming out with a new book. “No More War:How the West Violates International Law by Using 'Humanitarian' Intervention to Advance Economic and Strategic Interests” comes out in April, but advance reviews are stellar.Brian and John speak with Dan Kovalik, a human rights, labor lawyer, and author of many books.This regular segment deals with the ongoing militarization of space. As the US continues to withdraw from international arms treaties, will the weaponization and militarization of space bring the world closer to catastrophe? Brian and John speak with Prof. Karl Grossman, a full professor of journalism at the State University of New York, College at Old Westbury and the host of a nationally aired television program focused on environmental, energy, and space issues, and with Bruce Gagnon, coordinator of the Global Network Against Weapons & Nuclear Power in Space and a contributor to Foreign Policy In Focus.

On today's episode of Loud & Clear, Brian Becker and John Kiriakou are joined by Ambassador Peter Ford, the former UK Ambassador to Syria.A major realignment has taken place in the Syrian war as the Turkish invasion of northeast Syria enters its sixth day today. US troops are out of the immediate area and a new alliance between the Kurdish YPG and the Syrian government. President Trump has put economic sanctions into place against Turkey for their military actions. Fiona Hill, an aide in the White House, testified yesterday for nine hours about her interactions with former National Security Council John Bolton. She testified that Bolton asked her to notify the chief lawyer for the National Security Council about the pressure that several of the administration’s officials were putting on Ukraine. Dan Kovalik, a human rights and labor lawyer who is the author of the book “The Plot to Overthrow Venezuela: How the US is Orchestrating a Coup for Oil,” joins the show. Ecuadorian protestors succeeded in forcing President Moreno’s government to withdraw the IMF-imposed austerity package on Sunday. The move ended strikes across the country and created a new commission to design a new set of measures. The commission includes representatives from the indigenous movement as well as the government and will be mediated by the United Nations and the Catholic church. Meanwhile, leftist leaders were arrested and accused of instigating the protests. Brian and John speak with Arnold August, author and journalist currently on an international speaking tour on the theme "US-Venezuela-Cuba-Canada: The Geopolitics.” As tensions grow and alliances shift rapidly in the Middle East, Russian President Vladimir Putin is making an official visit to Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates. The crisis in Syria, the global energy trade, and security cooperation in the gulf are at the top of his agenda. Mindia Gavashelli, the Editor in Chief of Sputnik News’ D.C. Bureau, joins the show. A Spanish court handed down harsh prison sentences for Catalan political leaders for their role in a push for independence. The sentences, which include a 13-year prison term for the Vice President of Catalonia, have caused widespread outrage in the region and militant demonstrations. Dick Nichols, the correspondent for Spain and Catalonia for Green Left Weekly, joins Brian and John. Tuesday’s weekly series is False Profits—A Weekly Look at Wall Street and Corporate Capitalism with Daniel Sankey.

As the owner of ACT OUT in Class, Adrian teaches emotional intelligence through drama workshops and shows teachers and mentors how to effectively do it themselves. He is an Associate Professor of Theatre and Head of Acting at San Diego State University and has over twenty years experience performing in various entertainment venues. His versatility in acting is immense, having done everything from being a seal trainer and stunt man to Shakespearean and comedic roles on the stage.   Adrian started teaching acting during his graduate studies, and fell into the realization that acting uncovers emotional intelligence. Drama exposes stories and emotions. Studying acting helped Adrian become a better husband and father, and teacher in general. Most of what keeps people back from being able to act is their emotional inhibitions that don't always exist in children. Teaching acting is a lot of helping people overcome their adult inhibitions and become more childlike.  Adrian starts with helping his student become free, then develop passion, followed by coaching on technique. Technique has more to do with what's going on in the situation or another person you are talking to, and how to deal with it. Two things that Adrian has learned about parenting through his acting experience are 1) allowing children to recognize for themselves when they have done something wrong and teaching as a form of discipline rather than punishment, and 2) learning to apologize and model humility for his children. It's tempting to be reactive to the things that trigger strong emotions, but Adrian has learned how to hold space for those feelings to know how to proactively respond to those feelings rather than being reactive. Teaching to the whole child requires two major components. 1) using questions, and 2) kinesthetic awareness. Adrian sees himself as a tour guide rather than a purveyor of knowledge. He teaches by asking questions, and guiding rather than always preaching. Teaching through questions allows children to think and pull out of themselves the things that really matter. You might even discover that children already have a good grasp of the concept you want to teach them. Kinesthetic awareness means physical play, and physical safety. This helps children become aware of how to use their bodies and express their feelings in physical ways. When children are reactive and impulsive it's important to hold space and help them to work through the feelings. Adrian says three more best-practices to hold space and manage strong emotions: 1) Breathe. Just breathe. Don't just breathe when you're in high-emotion situations. Practice breathing. 2) Ask if they know why you said no to them. 3) Reward and reinforce positive behaviors. Theatre exercises help children recognize different emotions, and how to respond to other people's emotions. Adrian teaches activities like saying empty phrases with an emotion to help his students understand the differences. Adrian also explains what he means by "backward design." It is basically takin a vision for the direction you want to go, and then stating that intention at the beginning so you work toward that objective. Sounds a lot like family culture! Ultimately, being able to push through our limitations of our emotional development, we have to be willing to sit with the discomfort and work through it anyway. Adrian and I talked a lot about the importance of the struggles of life, and that emotional intelligence and backward design are closely linked to personal development. Our children deserve to know that they are worthy of being loved in spite of their mistakes because we are all imperfect, and we learn from our imperfections!

In this special episode of the Act Out! podcast, we sit down with artist and anarchist Jason Yawn to dive into the uncomfortable topics of blind ideologies, infighting and fighting fascists. (NOTE: no new episodes of Act Out! this week or next so we'll see you again August 31st!)    

ACTIONING AGREED BEHAVIOURS Paul Roos has been at the forefront of the leadership and cultural change that has transformed Australian Rules Football for the last two decades, yet, neither are words he would use to describe his techniques. As a Hall of Fame member, 350+ game player and Premiership winning coach; Paul’s credentials speak much louder than he does… and as you’ll hear from this conversation, that’s by design. He believes that it’s not what we say but what people see us do that provides the necessities for ultimate success. His history is littered with leadership by example, a commitment to agreed upon behaviours and trust in the course. Paul’s specific essay question was: “Leadership, Talent, Culture or Time. What is it that defines a team’s winnability?” Consistency in routine, development of young adults and the surprising basics sportsmen understand that corporate aren’t taught, are but a few of the highly engaging subjects Paul and Oz discuss in this eye opening podcast.

This week on Act Out! The war machine is now branching out – into early childhood education. Coke's bogus greenwashing and how corporations use courts to SLAPP down their opponents. Next, “serving, caring and protecting” are all words that authorities use – but as human rights violations and environmental abuses flourish – their mottos continue to fall facsistically flat.

This week on Act Out! Facial recognition is here – but far from being the slick Bond-style tech of tomorrow, it can't seem to recognize faces very well. It also happens to be in the hands of the untrained and apparently senile. Next, cops and the most marginalized and oppressed in our society don't have a lot in common – by definition. But they soon may if Congress has their way. And finally, CIA whistleblower John Kiriakou joins us to talk CIA, whistleblowing, deep state and more.   Site List: https://www.perpetuallineup.org/ http://bit.ly/ActOut153 http://www.johnkiriakou.com/   If you enjoy the show, please click here & become a patron! A cup of coffee a month - help us keep acting out! *Note: Act Out! is primarily a video show: check out occupy.com/actout for and freespeech.org/actout for more info!

This week on Act Out! you may know that corporate media lies to you – but do you know how? Here's a look at one of their favorite techniques. PLUS what you'll never hear covered on nightly news – i.e. Uncle Sam's very own climate refugees, how much of the planet's forests we have left & pipeline battles from the front lines.

This week on Act Out! March is Women's History Month – and while it's always a good idea to recognize the powerful role of women in the fight for justice, not all women who have power wield it well – or deserve our pride and recognition. We take a look at one such woman – a deep state darling on the rise in the midst of Nazi lines and war crimes. Finally, Eugene Puryear sits down with us to talk local organizing in the seat of empire, racist police and how communities are finding and funding alternatives to cops.

We thought we'd do something a little different this week. We're both doing a 'comfort challenge' this week and stretching ourselves WAY outside of our comfort zones by taking a 5-day stand up comedy course where we have to do a live public performance at the end... If you want to come along and watch us, the show is on Thursday 29th March in South Yarra in Melbourne. Email us at podcast@whatyouwilllearn.com or DM us on social media and we'll send you the info to get tickets. A big takeaway from this book is how to structure a joke: 1) Set Up. Don't try to be funny here, this is the serious/insightful/original observation on every day things. The Set Up is comprised of Topic + Attitude + Premise 2) The Funny. Don't just deliver the punch line, you have to do an Act Out. For bonus points, go for a Mix and combine in a seemingly unrelated topic.    Join our listener facebook group for more cool stuff we find throughout the week: www.facebook.com/groups/whatyouwilllearn

Interview with Eleanor Goldfield This week we spoke with Eleanor Goldfield, who is an activist on the far left and a proponent of creative activism, a stance that centers creative approaches to direct action with the aim of leading people to interrogate their own politics on an emotional and psychological level. From her website:  “Creative Activism is outreach and change through the mediums that appeal to all people and all of people – their emotions, conscience and intellect, in that order. It places itself at the intersection of pop culture and politics, bringing the two together.” We talk about different approaches to politics and direct action, as well as her new book Paradigm Lost; Radical Verse and Visuals for the Shift, which is a collection of her original spoken word poetry accompanied by mixed media artwork from around a dozen artists. We also talk about the book and her upcoming performance date in Asheville on December 9th at Firestorm Books and Coffee!

This is one of those interviews you never thought you will ever have, especially when you're just starting out. I've chatted with this episode's guest for the first time on Twitter (August 2015) and, a simple question turned into a full blown conversation which, later on, gave me the confidence to ask for an interview. He is [...] The post SAP004: Learning to Act Out of LOVE Instead of Fear with David Henzel appeared first on Mihai Herman.

Have you ever had it kindly pointed out to you that you are quiet? I bet you have, and if you're like many introverts and highly sensitive people it can have a draining effect over time. Welcome to Episode 150 of the Sheep Dressed Like Wolves Podcast. In this show I consider 5 questions we can reflect on when we begin to feel like we are 'too quiet' and resent our natural orientation to the world. We will discover why we must enjoy rather than resent this quietness, and see it as our biggest strength that can actually unlock the door to us making an impact on the world. A Familiar Situation You've probably been in a situation similar to this. You're sat quietly, thinking deeply, maybe phasing in and out of a conversation that's going on nearby. It's not interesting enough to add anything so you feel happy to just sit and 'listen'. When all of a sudden the peace is broken as attention turns to you. ‘Is everything ok, you're being very quiet?' You launch into a reassuring monologue and splutter out some kind of apology for your lack of noise. The self-conscious feelings rise, and you start searching for something to contribute, to seek ways to deflect the attention from the fact that you are not seeking any attention. And once again you lambast yourself with criticism, 'you're too quiet...why can't you be more like everyone else?' Quiet = Not OK This message can chip away at us over time. From school reports, to social situations, and working in groups; being quiet means that something is wrong. The way it's so often used today, quiet means shy, lacking confidence, sad, disinterested, disengaged etc. It is an insult or at least something to be fixed. It is rarely seen as something to be encouraged, even when the results of introverted quietness may speak for themselves. Introverts are quiet in all manner of positive ways: to re-energise, to ruminate about a problem, to think creatively, to take in a new situation or unfamiliar place. Quietness is a necessary part of information and sensory processing. When we're made to believe that our natural way of interacting with the world is a flaw, or a demonstration that something is wrong with us, it makes it very difficult to function naturally with confidence. In this episode you'll hear me talk about the following questions and why asking them can help us live and thrive in our quietness, even when we're being told to get louder: WHERE is the quietness coming from? WHEN are you quiet? WHY do you feel 'too quiet'? WHAT difference is your quietness making? WHEN is it not true that you are quiet? Over to You I love to hear the conversations that these episodes can spark. To get started I like to ask a question. This week it is this: Have you ever been told you are too quiet? How did it make you feel?

Welcome to Episode 140 of the Sheep Dressed Like Wolves Podcast. In this week's show I explore how we find meaning in the world according to Brian Little's definitions of personal projects. In his latest book, Me, Myself, and Us, Professor Brian Little says that we no longer think in terms of nature vs nurture as two sides of a debate. Rather consensus is emerging to say that the key thing to think about is how we nurture our natures. And so "third natures arise out of the personal commitments and core projects that we pursue in our daily lives. Under this new perspective genes influence us as do our circumstances, but we are not hostage to them." Building Our Reality We all build a picture of the world using a set of personal constructs. This is how we make predictable paths through the complexity of the world, for example seeing people through simple filters (male or female, introvert or extrovert, psychopath or normal). These constructs influence the way we interact with the world and once another and may lead to us having skewed or closed-minded views. As Professor Little points out, we can't escape constructs. They are a fact of life, an inevitability of human consciousness. Without them we would be completely overloaded and overwhelmed by information. But we do have a choice as to how we interact with them and how open we are to empathically developing them. Covered in this episode: Examples of constructs we might use to filter the world The negative implications of having two few constructs Why the world is not quite what it seems The reality of broken constructs Why introverts and highly sensitive people need to beaware of the constructs they create around their understanding of these temperaments Over to You Have you ever had one of your personal constructs broken?
