Podcast appearances and mentions of amy lam

On October 2, Amy Lamé stepped down from her post as London's first Night Czar. Lamé had faced constant scrutiny since taking the job in 2016, especially following her chunky pay rises – most recently she was earning £132,846 a year in a period when the city's venues have been struggling to survive. But Lamé's achievements have also been defended by people deeply involved in the city's nightlife.One of those defences came last week from Party Lines author Ed Gillett, who argued in the Guardian that London nightlife could end up poorer for Lamé stepping down. In this episode we're joined by Ed to get the real tea on what Lamé was up to during her eight years in the post, how her job compares to similar roles in other cities, why she was so heavily criticised by the rightwing press, and whether it was worth having a Night Czar in the first place.Like No Tags?

Like the Tube itself, Amy Lamé is a London icon and legend - and she asks Tim to meet her at one of London's busiest stations for nightlife, Tottenham Court Road, to talk about her role with the Mayor of London as ‘Night Czar'. What does that mean - and how important has the night tube been for London's communities and businesses, including Amy's famous club nights? For 160 years, the London Underground has been connecting people and places in so many ways, but a shared love for everything about the system has created a community in itself. Tim heads west on the Piccadilly line to meet his old friend, and one of the internet's best-known Tube enthusiasts, video producer Geoff Marshall, Tim and Geoff chat about the joys, delights and friendships that the London Underground can bring – and how Geoff's relationship with the Tube grew from an old London Atlas that was collected by his grandfather… Follow presenter Tim Dunn Mind The Gap is an official podcast from Transport for London (TfL).

Four years after Amy Lam died in 2016, court records show Dr. Thomas J. Byrne was involved in another incident at Harlem Hospital. A baby was allegedly lacerated down his back and buttocks during a cesarean-section. For the people whose cases were central to Byrne losing his license in New York over 30 years ago, the fact that he is able to practice  in the state again stirs up difficult memories and feelings of anger and betrayal. “They even said he'll never practice medicine again in New York state,” said John Henries, whose son was delivered by Byrne in the 1990s. “That's a lie.” In this episode, we examine what the record shows about New York's decision to restore Byrne's medical license. And share a discovery made along the way that may help explain at least one reason he has managed to continue practicing all these years.Listen to our earlier episodes:Episode 1: Wrongful DeathEpisode 2: License RevokedEpisode 3: The GatekeepersEpisode 4: Loopholes

Episode 1: Wrongful Death In 2016, Amy Lam was at an exciting time in her life. She'd recently graduated from Columbia journalism school and was expecting her second child. But then tragedy struck. Shortly after giving birth at home, she was brought to Harlem Hospital where medical records show she bled to death under the care of several physicians. One of those doctors was Dr. Thomas J. Byrne, an OB-GYN with a concerning track record that spans more than three decades. In 1990, New York health officials declared Byrne an “imminent danger” to the public and stripped him of his medical license. And yet, Byrne is still seeing patients today. How does a doctor with a documented track record of medical negligence continue practicing for so long? Reporter Karen Shakerdge, along with WNYC's investigative editor Christopher Werth, examine who's responsible for ensuring patient safety. This series was supported by the Pulitzer Center.

Laura Whitmore is joined by her special guests Lauren Mayberry and Amy Lamé to explore how female artists have used their songs to express their identity and go against the grain. Today our host and guests will discuss artists who have attempted to break moulds and defy female stereotypes in their own unique ways. These are a class of artists who don't just own their identity - they wear it with pride. Lauren Mayberry is the lead vocalist in the Scottish synth-pop band Chvrches.  The band formed in 2011 and two years later they released their ‘Recover' EP, which included the break-through hit ‘The Mother We Share'.  Their debut studio album, ‘The Bones of What You Believe', was released in 2013, elevating them into the ‘Sound of 2013' list by the BBC. This was followed by ‘Every Open Eye' in 2015 and ‘Love is Dead' in 2018. Their fourth and highly acclaimed concept album, ‘Screen Violence' was release in 2021.   Amy Lamé is a radio and TV presenter, performer and writer. She hosts a weekly music show on BBC Radio 6 Music and is a long-time champion of LGBTQ+ rights, using music as a platform, through her work as a writer, presenter and DJ and via her pioneering club night ‘Duckie' at the Royal Vauxhall Tavern.  In 2016 she was appointed London's Night Czar, where she's been tasked with promoting London's nightlife both in the UK and internationally. Featuring Hear Her Voice's resident music expert Laura Snapes on Dusty Springfield. Laura Snapes is one of the foremost music journalists in the UK. Currently deputy music editor at The Guardian, she has also held roles as features editor for NME and associate editor at Pitchfork.

Amy Lam, FCPA, FCA, CPABC EVP Corporate Services & CFO, speaks with DIVERSEcity's Neelam Sahota, FCPA, FCGA about the challenges of breaking the glass ceiling and championing women in the workplace.

Five years ago, Amy Lamé was appointed as London's first ever Night Czar, working for the London Mayor to protect and nurture London nightlife. Here, she opens up on the challenges posed by covid, and the work being done to get the city's night time economy back on its feet. 

In this After Corona episode, we're returning to look at the music industry, which has had an incredibly tumultuous year, and building on our past conversations with Norman Cook, Amy Lamé and Fiona Bevan who all referred to the work of the man you are about to hear. Mark Davyd is the founder and CEO of Music Venue Trust, the charity that represents hundreds of small and medium-sized venues in the UK. He is the co-owner of Tunbridge Wells Forum, a venue he founded in a toilet over 20 years ago and was the former CEO of Rhythmix, for two decades the multi-award winning music and mental health organisation that worked with young people in challenging circumstances. Mark's past commercial music career has also seen him work as an artist manager, label owner and promoter. There is very little about the music industry that is not understood by my guest this episode. Mark, and the Music Venues Trust, have been hailed as heroes by many in the UK for running some very hard-hitting campaigns that put small and medium pubs and gig venues at the forefront of cultural recovery funding. Veteran radio DJ Steve Lamacq is just one of the voices calling for Mark Davyd and his team to receive an official honour - because since March 2020, an estimated £1.2million has been raised, preventing 556 music venues from having to close. We spoke to Mark shortly before Christmas 2020 - about the campaign and the forensic approach by the Music Venues Trust, and what elements of their approach worked and why, what more is to be done, and whether the music industry will be scarred forever by the near death experience of so many of its grassroots venues.

Our special guest to Episode 4 of our FreeThinking podcast is Amy Lamè - performer, creative leader, activist - Radio 6 DJ, Past Mayoress of Camden and now London's first Night Czar! From night-time myth busting and inequality, to the great post-pandemic opportunity for a better world for all - Amy and Adam have a lot to say in this engaging conversation.

As you know, we're exploring the impact of Covid-19 and other 21st century traumas on UK life - particularly the worlds of business, culture and education - talking to those working at the coalface. A special area of focus, over a number of episodes, is the music industry. Already a sector facing radical adaptation in a digital age, always treading a fine line between a public devoted to live music, festivals and championing their favourite artists and unsustainable business models, the death of record sales and a fragile future for many grassroots music venues. Throw in a global pandemic, and even the most fundamental recording, touring, creating and performing becomes a minefield. We've spoken to Norman Cook about club and festival survival, Meeta Raval about the state of opera and Amy Lamé about London's night-time economy in lockdown - with many more expert voices still to come, who will help to unpick this complex and valuable world. In this podcast episode, our special guest is Fiona Bevan. East Anglian Fiona is both a singer-songwriter of her own folk-inspired music and one of the UK's most prolific pop and rock songwriters for global acts as diverse as Kylie Minogue, Steps, Nick Mulvey, Lewis Capaldi, Aurora, Ed Harcourt and The Backstreet Boys to name just a handful. A contributor to a clutch of top 40 hit singles and albums, and an acclaimed performer of her own work, Fiona is still best known by many for co-writing the song 'Little Things' with Ed Sheeran. The song was released by One Direction in 2012, getting to number one in 13 countries with platinum certified sales in the UK, USA, Australia, Norway, Mexico and Canada, winning a coveted BMI award for the song-writing. Richard spoke to Fiona about the real lows of being a performer when you are banned from performing, the highs of having a dizzyingly upbeat track included on one of the biggest selling albums of 2020 - and what she thinks needs to change as the industry recovers from this unprecedented crisis. --- Useful links: https://fionabevan.co.uk/ https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiona_Bevan http://www.navigatorrecords.co.uk/artists/fiona-bevan/ https://www.thetimes.co.uk/article/kylie-minogue-songwriter-fiona-bevan-paid-only-100-in-streaming-royalties-for-album-work-xbdl0cxcs https://www.songwritingmagazine.co.uk/how-i-wrote/one-direction-little-things-fiona-bevan --- For more information on how you can get involved with The Possibility Club – an inclusive community of professionals working out what's next, have a look here > www.thepossibilityclub.org You can also receive Finding Chances, a free weekly letter from Richard Freeman, looking behind-the-scenes at business, culture, community and education by signing-up at findingchances.substack.com/ We'd love to know what you think of this podcast.

The Covid-19 pandemic has been the weirdest and least planned-for social experiment in our lifetimes, and it has exposed what is broken about many of our systems and sectors - as well as what is possible when you allow new ideas to be tested. In this episode, we're looking at the night-time economy. And our very special guest is Amy Lamé. Amy is co-founder of the Olivier Award-winning arts company and club night Duckie, and has been an active campaigner to preserve and protect London's LGBT pubs and clubs for many years. She served as Mayoress of Camden in 2010/11 and spent her year highlighting the history and culture of live music and nightlife in the borough. Amy is broadcaster, writer and cultural commentator, and her debut book, From Prejudice to Pride: A History of the LGBT+ Movement – was the first LGBT+ history book for children – and was published in 2017. in 2016, Amy was appointed as London's first ever Night Czar. Working closely with Mayor of London Sadiq Khan, her responsibility is to promote London's varied nightlife both in the UK and internationally, including safeguarding venues across the city. We spoke with Amy at the end of September 2020, seven months into the global coronavirus pandemic - and at a time when the hospitality, tourism and culture scenes across the whole UK were shell-shocked from the disruption. I wanted to know about a city like London - a city that never sleeps, and is built upon a vibrant life after dark - is this moment of fear and social distancing just going to be a blip for this resilient metropolis - or is there an existential crisis with real challenges for the future? --- Useful links: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amy_Lamé https://www.london.gov.uk/people/mayoral/amy-lame https://www.standard.co.uk/news/london/plea-live-music-scene-venues-report-london-s-lost-earnings-b71044.html —-- For more information on how you can get involved with The Possibility Club – an inclusive community of professionals working out what's next, have a look here > www.thepossibilityclub.org We'd also love to know what you think.

For our second Flexxcast episode, we interview the inspirational Amy Lamé, Night Czar of London and BBC Radio 6 Music Broadcaster

Toronto artists Amy Lam and Jon McCurley have been collaborating for 13 years as Life of a Craphead. On this week’s episode, we talked about their current exhibition, “Entertaining Every Second,” which has toured throughout Canada to its current site of Montreal; self-organizing a 30-show live even series called Doored; why cutting your teeth on stage makes you a better sculptor; the glaring problems with Ken Burns’ “Vietnam” documentary; King Edward VII; whether or not people in Toronto live in bars; and so much more. The outro music is “Ontario” by Neil Young.

At the end of summer, when the super hot days get rarer, the signs of fall appear: reddish leaves, leather jackets, people talking about football, and pumpkin spice lattes. Like death and taxes, the pumpkin spice latte seems inevitable, and it takes up an incredible amount of space in the public consciousness. So yes, we’re succumbing to the siren song and devoting a whole episode to the PSL. So why are we so obsessed with pumpkin spice? And why is it so easy to hate on the drink and the people who consume it? How did this assortment of spices from the Indian subcontinent become the hallmark of basicness, and what can its autumnal popularity tell us about capitalism, misogyny, and the need to belong? On this episode, we have a special guest! Backtalk’s Amy Lam reads an excerpt of a spicy ode to squash. In our first segment, you’ll hear from Tiffany Midge, a poet and humorist who wrote “An Open Letter to White Girls Regarding Pumpkin Spice and Cultural Appropriation.” After that, you’ll get the specialty coffee barista’s perspective from Adam JacksonBey. Then you’ll hear from Rebecca Jennings, a consumer reporter for Vox who wrote about the backlash to pumpkin spice and what it all means. Finally, Sasanka Jinadasa chimes in to remind us of what we lose when we’re so hyper focused on the meaning behind a latte.

At the end of summer, when the super hot days get rarer, the signs of fall appear: reddish leaves, leather jackets, people talking about football, and pumpkin spice lattes. Like death and taxes, the pumpkin spice latte seems inevitable, and it takes up an incredible amount of space in the public consciousness. So yes, we’re succumbing to the siren song and devoting a whole episode to the PSL. So why are we so obsessed with pumpkin spice? And why is it so easy to hate on the drink and the people who consume it? How did this assortment of spices from the Indian subcontinent become the hallmark of basicness, and what can its autumnal popularity tell us about capitalism, misogyny, and the need to belong?

Dr Shain Shapiro is founder and CEO of Sound Diplomacy, bridging the gap between music and the world of policy and urban planning. Sound Diplomacy is the leader of the Music Cities movement, which sees culture built into the urban environment through an integrated music policy. Music is a universal language. While we all have individual tastes and preferences, it's an experience common to everyone. It can aid with early development, rehabilitation and healthy ageing. It's personal benefits are therefore indisputable. A well curated and executed music policy can help attract & retain capital and talent, help build the nigh-time economy and improve tourism. Shain argues that Music Cities need more than just a a policy though; they need someone to promote the cause within the local authority to ensure that it is being thought about & that policy is being enacted.

For developers, music is yet another piece in the puzzle of creating a sense of place that will make the development more deliverable and therefore valuable. For build-to-rent's model, music's role in community building should definitely be considered further. It's important to remember that music (like all arts and cultures) requires a full ecosystem to flourish. Headline acts come from grass-root venue beginnings and those venues need to be encouraged and cultivated. Shain believes that venues with capacity of less than 500 will need to look to multi-use in order to be sustainable as business models. The plurality of buildings could emerge as community centres, tech incubators, yoga studios or many uses. Tech solutions, such as

Bio: Life of a Craphead is Amy Lam and Jon Pham McCurley, and they are both from Toronto. In a strange and apt representation of their necessary and tenuous connections to Canadian cultural institutions and granting systems, they have presented art from multiple disciplines that they did not document, and they have documented work that they did not present. They run the integral performance art series Doored and their first feature length film Bugs is out now on DVD and VHS through Random Man. Recording notes: This interview was recorded at the kitchen table in Double Double Land, a DIY venue in Kensington Market.
