Alex Sullivan, from Bloomington IL, has lived an extraordinary life. It's firstly heartwrenching, with instances of being molested as a child and attempting suicide in his early adult life among other things, but ultimately inspiring as he's formulated valuable lessons from his tragic experiences. Alex has a passion for psychology, reading the works of Carl Jeung to help him make sense of his own formerly-chaotic psyche, and now seeks to improve the lives of others who are in similar situations to what he once lived.

This week we bring you our 8th episode of this series; a conversation with Alex Sullivan and Jessica Estevez. Here is the background on this project: In the last few months leading up to my daughter's birth, I began a podcast project. I had a few intentions with this project. I wanted her to have a set of recordings that could serve as a time capsule of what life was like just as she was arriving. And for her to begin life already surrounded by a community who was invested in her. In the end I interviewed over 20 people for this project. I began these recordings in the late summer of 2019. Little did I know what was awaiting all of us just around the corner. As I've been relistening to these recordings I have found deep meaning in each conversation, and I hope you will appreciate them too. That is why we are starting the 2022 season of THE Celebration podcast by sharing a new edited edition of these interviews. The series is entitled: Gifts For You. It will span 13 episodes in total. I hope you enjoy. Guest Information: Alex IG: @rockandlit Jessica IG: @luvwithoutfear

Nathan & Aaron are joined again by Alex and Jordan for another purrrfect episode guest-starring Eartha Kitt doing some Ethan Hunt stuff. We also discuss IMF mattresses and the BACU (Ben Affleck Cinematic Universe).
So this week's episode is still being edited. So I figured I'd give a little preview of what we do on our Patreon page with an episode of our Cruise Control series on THE COLOR OF MONEY (1986).
Nathan & Aaron finally trip out hard on the notorious "LSD Sugar Cube Episode". But they aren't alone, Jordan & Alex serve as trip-sitters as they talk about this misinterpretation of the counterculture movement.
I wear my son’s jacket as I travel down to the Colorado State Capitol building. His jacket is a reminder of what I’ve lost and how much work we have to do to end gun violence in our country. On July 20, 2012, in Aurora, Colorado, an assailant with a gun walked into a neighborhood movie theater to kill 12 people, including my son Alex Sullivan, and injured 70 others.
Nathan & Aaron are declared mentally insane and are joined in the institution by Alex & Bradly to discuss what might be the single most fucked up thing the IMF has ever done.
And we're back from our personal sabbath with our first full "sabbath" episode. Nathan & Aaron are joined by Alex Sullivan and newcomer: Liam Placek. This is a very showbiz episode with all the behind-the-scenes gossip you could imagine. We also go off on A LOT of tangents. Enjoy!
Nathan & Aaron are joined by Dooley and Alex for the sweatiest episode so far. Ricardo Montalbán has a diet consisting of scenery, Martin Landau makes a box fort, there's a robot, Willy has a big willy and Greg Morris gives his best performance yet.
In 1982, in a speech to Harvard University, Audrey Lorde famously said, “. . .If I didn't define myself for myself, I would be crunched into other people's fantasies for me and eaten alive.” Quotes are inspiring. And, seeing them put into action is empowering. That is why this week’s guests, Alex and Ash Sullivan, are two of my favorite people. Despite the pressure of a white supramcist capitalist patriarchy, They define themselves for themselves every single day. As they will share in the episode - that doesn’t mean it is easy. I mean - how does one go about living their bold self without being eaten alive? Let this interview be a roadmap that can guide you to your own internal answer to that question. Oh - and did I mention that this episode is being released on their birthday? *Cue the confetti* For real though - Ash and Alex are the best. Alex Sullivan is the Co-Founder of Artists Call to Action. They are also a dope poet, facilitator, activist, educator and freelance diversity consultant in academia. As a mixed agender human being, Alex’s work is often reflective of how the self is presented in the digital world and how current socio-political events can distort that presentation. Their creative and academic work is focused on the black queer experience and every aspect of it, frequently tying in themes of womanism, examination of power structures in the United States, and the experience of the Afro-Caribbean diaspora as the communities have spread out all over the world. Ashley Sullivan is a counselor-in-training and poet who is currently being considered for licensure, actively publishing, and putting energy into other creative endeavors such as starting their own business. Ash is balancing pursuing a career in poetry while also pursuing work in mental health and public health. Currently, they have been published in five or more running publications as well as fulfilling activism work centered around gender, creativity, and community. They are a current candidate for their Master’s of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Long Island University. On this week’s episode we go all in on: creativity, activism, learning to trust yourself, finding your own voice, the unique relationship Ash and Alex have with each other, getting comfortable with your own silence, getting to know yourself better, and, Well...you’re gonna need to push play to find that out! We could all invite a little more grace, community, and courage into our lives. And Ash and Alex deliver all of that and more in abundance on this week’s episode. Let’s do this. Hit play.

Coroner Talk™ | Death Investigation Training | Police and Law Enforcement
On July 20, 2012, a mass shooting occurred inside of a Century movie theater in Aurora, Colorado, during a midnight screening of the film The Dark Knight Rises. A gunman, dressed in tactical clothing, set off tear gas grenades and shot into the audience with multiple firearms, killing 12 people and injuring 70 others. The sole suspect, James Eagan Holmes, was arrested outside the cinema minutes later. It was the deadliest shooting in Colorado since the Columbine High School massacre in 1999. The shooting occurred in theater 9 at the Century 16 multiplex (operated by Cinemark), located at the Town Center at Aurora shopping mall at 14300 E. Alameda Avenue. Police said the shooter bought a ticket, entered the theater, and sat in the front row; about 20 minutes into the film, he left the building through an emergency exit door, which he propped open with a plastic tablecloth holder. He allegedly then went to his car, which was parked near the exit door, changed into protective clothing, and retrieved his guns. About 30 minutes into the film, police say, around 12:30 am, he reentered the theater through the exit door. He was dressed in black and wore a gas mask, a load-bearing vest (not to be confused with a bulletproof vest), a ballistic helmet, bullet-resistant leggings, a bullet-resistant throat protector, a groin protector and tactical gloves. Initially, few in the audience considered the masked figure a threat. He appeared to be wearing a costume, like other audience members who had dressed up for the screening. Some believed that the gunman was playing a prank, while others thought that he was part of a special effects installation set up for the film's premiere as a publicity stunt by the studio or theater management. It was also said that the gunman threw two canisters emitting a gas or smoke, partially obscuring the audience members' vision, making their throats and skin itch, and causing eye irritation. He then fired a 12-gauge Remington 870 Express Tactical shotgun, first at the ceiling and then at the audience. He also fired a Smith & Wesson M&P15 semi-automatic rifle with a 100-round drum magazine, which malfunctioned after reportedly firing about 45 rounds. Finally, he fired a Glock 22 40-caliber handgun. He shot first to the back of the room, and then toward people in the aisles. A bullet passed through the wall and hit three people in the adjacent theater 8, which was screening the same film. Witnesses said the multiplex's fire alarm system began sounding soon after the attack began and staff told people in theater 8 to evacuate. One witness said that she was hesitant to leave because someone yelled that there was someone shooting in the lobby and that they should not leave. The first phone calls to emergency services via 9-1-1 were made at 12:39 am. Police arrived within 90 seconds and found at least three .40-caliber handgun magazines, a shotgun and a large drum magazine on the floor of the theater. Some people reported the shooting via tweets or text messaging rather than calling the police. Sgt. Stephen Redfearn, one of the first police officers on the scene, decided not to wait for ambulances and sent victims to area hospitals in squad cars. About 12:45 am, police apprehended Holmes behind the cinema, next to his car, without resistance. He was initially mistaken as another police officer because of the tactical clothing he was wearing. According to two federal officials, he had dyed his hair red and called himself "the Joker", although authorities later declined to confirm this. Three days later, at his first court appearance in Centennial, Colorado, Holmes had reddish-orange hair. The officers found several firearms in the theater and inside the car, including another Glock 22 handgun.Following his arrest, he was initially jailed at Arapahoe County Detention Center, under suicide watch. The police interviewed more than 200 witnesses. Investigators say that the shooter acted alone and was not part of a larger group or terrorist organization. Explosive devices When apprehended, Holmes told the police that he had booby-trapped his apartment with explosive devices before heading to the movie theater. Police then evacuated five buildings surrounding his Aurora residence, about 5 miles (8 km) north of the cinema. The apartment complex is limited to University of Colorado Medical Center students, patients, and employees. One day after the shooting, officials disarmed an explosive device wired to the apartment's front entrance, allowing a remotely controlled robot to enter and disable other explosives. The apartment held more than 30 homemade grenades, wired to a control box in the kitchen, and 10 gallons of gasoline. Neighbors reported loud music from the apartment around midnight on the night of the massacre, and one went to his door to tell him she was calling the police; she stated that the door seemed to be unlocked, but she chose not to open it. A law enforcement official said that a Batman mask was found inside the apartment. On July 23, police finished collecting evidence from the apartment. Two days later, residents were allowed to return to the four surrounding buildings, and six days later, residents were allowed to move back into the formerly booby-trapped building. Casualties Eighty-two people were shot or otherwise wounded, reported by mainstream news as the most victims of any mass shooting in United States history. Four people's eyes were irritated by the tear gas grenades, and eight others injured themselves while fleeing the theater. The massacre was the deadliest shooting in Colorado since the Columbine High School massacre on April 20, 1999. Fatalities Twelve people were killed in the shooting. Ten died at the scene and two more in local hospitals. Those killed were: Jonathan Blunk, age 26 Alexander J. Boik, age 18 Jesse Childress, age 29 Gordon Cowden, age 51 Jessica Ghawi, age 24 John Larimer, age 27 Matt McQuinn, age 27 Micayla Medek, age 23 Veronica Moser-Sullivan, age 6 Alex Sullivan, age 27 Alexander C. Teves, age 24 Rebecca Wingo, age 31 Almost two months earlier, Jessica Ghawi narrowly avoided a shooting at the Eaton Centre in Toronto, which killed two people and injured several others. Injuries The youngest person injured during the shooting was a four-month-old boy who was not shot. Ashley Moser, Veronica Moser-Sullivan's mother, was critically injured in the shooting and miscarried a week after the attack. The injured were treated at Children's Hospital Colorado, Denver Health Medical Center, The Medical Center of Aurora, Parker Adventist Hospital, Rose Medical Center, Swedish Hospital, and University Hospital. On July 25, three of the five hospitals treating victims announced that they would limit medical bills or forgive them entirely. The Community First Foundation collected more than $5 million for a fund for victims and their families. In September, victims and their families received surveys asking about their preferences for how collected funds should be distributed, either by dividing it equally among victims or through a needs-assessment process.On November 16, 2012, the Aurora Victim Relief Fund announced each claimant will receive $220,000.

For sound mixers/recordists it’s always been a balance of capturing the best location sound possible while dealing with airplanes, police sirens, construction, lawnmowers, leaf blowers, barking dogs, refrigerators, air conditioners, phones ringing……not to mention searching for a clean RF signal in a world of endless wireless interference, avoiding a boom mic in frame, rigging a mic to a complicated piece of wardrobe, pleading with director for one more take, barking at crew people for being chatty. ARGGGGGHHHHH!! If anyone on set has ever wondered why our default facial expression is a look of irritability, now you know why. But hey this is the profession we chose and we accept that these obstacles will always be there. Joining myself in an airing of grievances are fellow sound mixers, Fiona McBain and Alex Sullivan. At this risk of this coming off like a pity party for sound department I hope listeners will at least walk away with an appreciation that without sound there truly is no picture.

An entrepreneur, business owner, and already experienced repo man and drag racer, Alex Sullivan is a man among men at the ripe age of 24. Alex is the operator of J&M Used Cars in Garland, TX, an operation with two locations and a whole lot of experience. The business has existed as a family operation for 30 years, and Alex has run it for the last 6. I strove to get from Alex the lessons he's learned in his already illustrious career, about how to establish confidence at an early age, how to develop competence as a means of security and success, how to be prepared for dangerous situations in life (just listen for the repo stories-the South Dallas one is scary). (and also guest-starring is a slightly-inebriated yet always-hilarious Fabian Granado for comic relief.) Enjoy!

Things are really heating up here at camp NR. Just under 4 weeks to go and we continue our podcast series with none other than Le Jockey. Johny Davies aka Le Jockey: Johny has been producing music for a few years now, but has been involved in music since his childhood. He is extremely competent on the violin and percussion and when he was a child was head chorister of Jesus College Chapel Choir. These days Johny mainly focuses on writing electronic music and has had releases on a string of record labels. He has featured in iDJ magazine and on the cover CD of their July issue. His productions have recieved critical acclaim from artists such as Tim Sheridan, Mark-Henning, Luke Solomon, Massimo Licari and Ed Davenport to name a few and receive regular club play across europe. 2009 looks set to be busy for John with dates confirmed already in Bristol, Bournemouth and London throughout the year and releases on Beiak records and Fullbar Digital coming up over the next months. With a new residency at Rhythm Factory along with DJ Largo and Alex Sullivan for their Beiak Records label party London is a regular fixture for Johny in 2009. The backbone of Johnys work has to be his somewhat unique approach to his Live PAs. Taking music in its component loops and using Ableton to arrange and structure them live at the same time manipulating the loops through chains of effects results in the music being constructed live in front of the audience all in real time. With a constantly maturing sound which spans from techno through to minimal there is always a sense of well structured movement throughout Johnys productions with high production values and attention to detail. http://natural-rhythm.co.uk/ https://natural-rhythm.ticketabc.com/events/festival/
