Podcast appearances and mentions of Andrew Potter

Prime Minister Mark Carney led the Liberal Party to a narrow victory in Canada's pivotal election in April 28. Running a campaign centered on uniting Canadians against U.S. President Trump's annexation threats and punitive tariffs, Mr. Carney orchestrated a remarkable political comeback for the Liberals, who had been expected to suffer a landslide defeat until a few months earlier. Despite the win, Mr. Carney now faces the steep challenge of governing with a minority. His ability to deliver on domestic issues will shape his legacy as much as his handling of relations with Washington. Balancing these priorities will not be an easy task, and Prime Minister Carney has no time to waste. In this episode, Christopher Hernandez-Roy sits down with Andrew Potter, author and associate professor at the Max Bell School of Public Policy at McGill University. Together, they discuss the factors that shaped the election, and the challenges confronting Prime Minister Carney, and Canada as a whole. They also discuss the future of the Canadian Conservative Party under the continued leadership of Pierre Poilievre.

With Mark Carney in his first week in office as Canada's new Prime Minister, the Justin Trudeau era is quickly fading in the rearview mirror. But before we move on, it's important to take stock of what went on in this country during Trudeau's tenure. Our guest on today's program says it is time for a national conversation about Trudeau's legacy. And, in his words, “it's not flattering.”Andrew Potter is a Canadian author, and an associate professor at the Max Bell School of Public Policy at McGill University. His latest column for The Line is titled “Justin Trudeau never cared about Canada.” Andrew Potter returns to the program.You can find Tara Henley on Twitter at @TaraRHenley, and on Substack at tarahenley.substack.com

On today's episode of the CBJ Podcast, host John Burgman and guest Andrew Potter chat about gym startups, software startups, market analysis and much more in between.

There's business wisdom packed throughout this episode—all anchored by Andrew's belief in seeing a need in a market (or in an entire industry) and figuring out a way to create something that meets that need.

Reinventing Parking is the official podcast of the Parking Reform Network! Why not join? The United Kingdom has been both a bold parking reformer and a parking reform disappointment. But which is the more important story? That's the focus of this month's episode of Reinventing Parking episode.  The nationwide abolition of parking mandates in 2001 and the shift to parking maximums was amazing and of great interest to parking reformers elsewhere. Yet, parking management has often failed to rise to the challenge, leading to problems and then to some backsliding on parking standards. For more insight and lessons from UK parking, I turned to Andrew Potter, who is Director of Parking Perspectives, a parking focused consulting firm based in Chelmsford in the southeast of England. Here is an outline of our discussion:  About my guest: Andrew Potter Basics about on-street parking management - where it is strong [2:20] Where is parking enforcement weak and parking behaviour worst? [3:59] Pavement parking is not even an offence in England (but is in London and Scotland Parking standards and the history of reforms [6:10] Maximums dealt with a parking arms race [7:23] Problems emerged in new residential developments with limited parking under maximums [8:39] Why wasn't strict parking management expanded to such areas? [10:01] Fundamental problem with the approach to on-street parking management outside city cores [11:31] These problems led to pressure on government to change the approach to parking for residential developments [12:21] Is London a counterfactual to refute the idea that these problems mean abolishing minimums and imposing maximums was foolish? [13:34] What has been happening recently with parking standards, minimums and maximums? [16:40] Trend for car free developments in city centre areas and this is generally successful since the streets are well controlled [19:50] Residents of inner city car free developments are usually not eligible for parking permits in the local CPZ [20:21] Are maximums still popular, despite the problems mentioned earlier? [20:54] Suggestion: maximums at levels to make urban supermarkets viable, but not out-of-town ones [22:05] Advice for other places thinking of abolishing parking mandates and or imposing parking maximums? [24:32] Wrapping up [25:31] You can read a lightly edited transcript here.

Given the state of the world right now, it's probably fair to say that a whole lot of us are currently lost in a downward spiral of doomscrolling, utterly overwhelmed by the news. But Tara's guest on the podcast today says things have been bad like this for some time – that, in fact, our civilization is in a form of decline. Andrew Potter is an associate professor at the Max Bell School of Public Policy at McGill University. He's a former editor-in-chief of the Ottawa Citizen, a former public affairs columnist for Maclean's Magazine, and a former director of the McGill Institute for the Study of Canada. His latest book is On Decline: Stagnation, Nostalgia, and Why Every Year is the Worst One Ever. He joins Tara today for a surprisingly upbeat conversation about the state of our country, and of our world.

Living in a pandemic can make hope for a better tomorrow difficult. To help us understand why optimism has recently taken a hit, we invite Alan Newhouse, editor of The Tablet Magazine, and author of a popular essay titled, "Everything is Broken;" and Andrew Potter, a political scientist at McGill University and author of a new book, "On Decline: Stagnation, Nostalgia, and Why Every Year is the Worst One Ever."

The plot involves the narrator, a teacher at a country school outside of Arkham, encountering a strange pupil, Andrew Potter, who is smart but has no desire to advance to a higher grade. He is left alone and rather feared by the other pupils. When the narrator asks Andrew if he wants to advance in school, he says the doesn't require him to go to high school. The narrator then asks to visit Andrew's parents about this. During the visit, the narrator finds a farmstead of menace, an obese mother, an older sister, and a father who says no to Andrew attending school beyond the legal requirement. Troubled by the Mr. Potter's attitude and troubled by what he saw and sensed at the farm, the narrator goes to visit a newspaper editor, and we get the predictable chain of events. The editor refers him to Miskatonic University and the Necronomicon. A professor sees him reading it, and the narrator tells him of the tale of Andrew. From there, the professor tells him that a wizard Potter inhabited the farm until he died and the Potters moved to it from Michigan. They were pleasant at first but changed. The next thing you know we have stones bearing the “Seal of R'lyeh” and a plan to solve things by using them as amulets of protection for the narrator and to touch one to Andrew. When that's done, the boy goes into a fit, and the narrator takes him to the professor's house. They then go to the schoolhouse to wait for the inevitable attack by the Potters. The stones of R'lyeh are used against father and sister. However, they don't have the intended effect. The professor thought the focus of evil, which turns out to be a seeming case of possession, was Mr. Potter. It turns out it's the mother. The Potter house is sealed off with the stones of R'lyeh and set on fire. A strange creature is seen leaving the mother's body, an “amorphous mass . . . tentacled, shimmering, with a cold intelligence and a physical coldness”. Her body shrinks, but she lives, and a black bolt of smoke shoots from the house into the sky in a way reminiscent of the climax of Lovecraft's “The Colour Out of Space”.

Veteran's Day Special: Andrew Potter, The Battle Within by KCMO Talk Radio

Precisamos aprender e experimentar que Deus está no controle. Mensagem de Andrew Potter, traduzida por Haniel Passos Eller. Extraída do "Suporte diário para profissionais da saúde" | 10 de Janeiro.Associação de Capelania na Saúde em parceria com Médicos de Cristo.

Last season the Colts were bland. White and royal blue. Mayonnaise protrudes. Jacoby Brissett check downs and muddy scampers, an average defense, a wild Brian Hoyer appears, and a lot of rushes from heavy formations. Indianapolis held onto playoff expectations after booing Andrew Luck off the field once his retirement was leaked, and was rewarded with a banal 7-9 season. This year that changes. Philip Rivers relocated here to hoot and toot and make a ludicrous mockery of the quarterback position. And by trading for the monster truck that is DeForest Buckner, the Colts have a legitimate star defensive player who can lift up the pass rush, and make things easy for an already great linebacker group. Last season’s playoff expectations have drifted back to this season, as the Colts join the Texans and Titans to compete for the 2020 AFC South Championship. On this episode of Battle Red Radio, Andrew Potter (@bighairyandy) with Football Outsiders joins the cast to discuss Philip Rivers treading the deep sandy pools of time, the impact DeForest Buckner can have on this defense, Michael Pittman Jr. hype, which team has the best offensive line in the division, the path for the Colts’ defense to exceed past above average, Malik Hooker expectations, and of course, a 2020 Colts season prediction.

Andrew's story begins long before RoKC, however. Andrew was in the Army ROTC Program at UCM and co-founded the UCM Climbing Club his junior year. After graduating in 2009 he spent six years in the Army serving our country.

This Saturday, we have a double feature. We decided to take two different interviews and put them together. Both these interviews have a very strong commonality and that is they are both talking about sports in Australia. For our first interview and the first half of the show, we were blessed to talk with Matt Ellis. Matt hosts The Cricket Library Podcast a podcast dedicated to, you guessed it, cricket. Cricket is a sport that, here in the US, the average person does not know a whole lot about. So we called in the best cricket expert we knew to talk about one of Australia's most popular sports. Matt breaks down the sport and together we connect it to baseball to help some of you (including myself) understand the sport more. We talk opportunities in the sport, as well as, the grown and span of the sport. We also address the question, why is it not popular in the U.S.? All this and more is in our first half of the episode. For the second half of the episode, we were blessed to have the head coach of the Southern Sabres, a team in the NBL1 (women's league), Andrew Potter. Andrew talks specifics of the NBL1, as well as, the other leagues in Australia. Even though Andrew is a part of NBL1, he gives a great overview of the different basketball levels and opportunities in Australia. For a wide grasp of basketball in Australia including opportunities for both men and women, and both people from Australia and from outside of Australia, this interview with Andrew is for you. A special thank you is in order to our guests this week Matt Ellis and Andrew Potter. Also, thank you to our sponsors and partners, Stanley Customs (Instagram @stanley_customs) as well as Creating Young Minds and the Lewisville Yellowjackets of TBL. Also, thank you listeners for all of your support. Your support is the reason we are able to continue this.

Andrew’s story begins long before RoKC, however. Andrew was in the Army ROTC Program at UCM and co-founded the UCM Climbing Club his junior year. After graduating in 2009 he spent six years in the Army serving our country. As a Captain in the 75th Ranger Regiment during his THIRD Tour in Afghanistan, Andrew found himself dreaming of climbing the cliffs surrounding the combat zones he was fighting in. Upon his return, his new mission became RoKC. A few short years later, RoKC has expanded to three facilities and continues to grow leaps and bounds!

We revisit a couple of stories that we haven't been able to follow up on to the level to which we'd hoped. At least not on the website, where our News Editor Jonathan Goldsbie makes the ultimate call as to what gets published. In this episode Jonathan and Jesse go head to head and reveal new facts about Andrew Potter's abrupt departure from McGill after his Maclean's diatribe about Quebec, and what happened after Leah McLaren's column about attempting to breastfeed Michael Chong's baby was spiked. Support CANADALAND: http://canadalandshow.com/join See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The backlash in Quebec to Andrew Potter’s infamous Maclean’s column has generated a backlash of its own in English Canada. The pearl-clutching has come primarily from Canada's journalist class, who spent the week loudly accusing Quebecers of being overly sensitive to criticism. Of course, things look a lot different from inside the province. In his recent article at Ricochet, Trevor Hanna writes that the Potter controversy emphasizes a long-running friction in the relationship between the Two Solitudes and highlights Quebecers’ sensitivity to cultural condescension. In this conversation we take on the English Canadian media’s insularity problem, share a smart Twitter Essay from Tricia Wood of torontoist.com and push back against the Canadaland podcast’s very bad take on l’Affair Potter.

Zymeworks, ProMetic Life Sciences, Innovative Targeting Solutions all back in the news again; Saskatchewan researchers make a breakthrough on a devastating pig virus, and healthcare behemoth GE partners with STEMCELL Technologies.We have this and more on this week’s Biotechnology Focus Podcast! Welcome to Biotechnology Focus Podcast. I’m your host Shawn Lawrence. Story 1 We kick things off this week in the prairies, where in less than a year, University of Saskatchewan (U of S) scientists have developed and tested a prototype vaccine that could protect the North American swine industry from a virus that has killed more than eight million pigs and cost more than $400 million in lost income since 2013. The Porcine Epidemic Diarrhea Virus (PEDV) hit the U.S. in 2013 and spread to Canada in 2014. It is a coronavirus, a virus group which includes important emerging human diseases such as SARS and MERS. It was first discovered in Europe, and has become increasingly problematic in Asian countries. Occurring only in pigs, PEDV can kill up to 100 per cent of infected piglets. Using its new containment Level 3 facility, the Universtiy of Saskatchewan Vaccine and Infectious Disease Organization-International Vaccine Centre (VIDO-InterVac) quickly launched a vaccine development project. The project has resulted in a prototype vaccine that protects 100 per cent of the piglets who have received it, according to  Dr. Volker Gerdts, VIDO-InterVac’s research director. The successful vaccine results have since triggered the interest of several animal health companies including Huvepharma, which has partnered with VIDO-InterVac to develop the technology for commercial production in North America. With the support of the swine industry, the vaccine is now undergoing field testing in Saskatchewan, as well as in Manitoba where it is being used to help protect piglets from a recent PEDV outbreak. VIDO-InterVac director Andrew Potter said such a project wouldn’t be possible without this facility, adding that “This is a perfect example of why InterVac was constructed – it is one of the only facilities available internationally with the capacity to conduct vaccine development and testing on this scale for emerging infectious diseases and It helps Canada remain prepared to quickly respond to outbreaks like this,” he said. The PEDV vaccine development project has been supported by a variety of funders including the Government of Saskatchewan (ADF), Sask Pork, and the Canadian Swine Health Network. Story 2 The US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has given Toronto’s Trillium Therapeutics Inc. the go-ahead to initiate a Phase 1 clinical trial for its lead drug candidate, TTI-621 (SIRPaFc), in solid tumours and mycosis fungoides. Trillium is developing TTI-621 as a novel checkpoint inhibitor of the innate immune system, and the drug is currently being evaluated in an ongoing Phase 1 dose escalation study in patients with relapsed or refractory hematologic malignancies. Patient enrollment in the Phase 1 trial is anticipated to commence by year end. The trial will be multicenter and open-label, with TTI-621 being delivered to patients with relapsed and refractory, percutaneously-accessible cancers by intratumoral injection that increase in dose and dosing frequency to characterize safety, pharmacokinetics, pharmacodynamics and preliminary evidence of antitumour activity. In addition, detailed evaluation of serial, on-treatment tumor biopsies of both injected and non-injected cancer lesions will help characterize tumor microenvironment changes anticipated with CD47 blockade. Story 3 As part of its strategy to leverage and attract investor interest to Québec’s life sciences sector, the Fonds de solidarité FTQ has made a $15 million investment in Genesys Capital’s latest venture fund Genesys Ventures III. The fund itself will used to back companies at the seed-stage, considered by many in the industry the valley of death, to help these companies advance technologies and products for unmet medical needs. Genesys Capital is one of the largest Canadian-based venture capital firms exclusively focused on the life sciences industry. Of note, Knight Therapeutics Inc., a specialized biopharmaceutical company based in Montreal, QC is also committing $1 million to Canadian-based life sciences venture capital fund Genesys Ventures III LP. For Knight the investment is the eighth life sciences equity fund investment Knight has made to date, having committed over $125 million. In terms of the Genesys Ventures III fund, Genesys Capital says it has closed $90 million of its $125 million target for the fund, while Managing director Damian Lamb adds that the firm expects to reach its goal for Genesys Ventures III early next year. Should the fund reach this target, it would be the largest Genesys has raised in its 16-year history. Story 4 Zymeworks is back in the news this week as the United States Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has accepted the company’s Investigational New Drug (IND) application for its lead product ZW25 as a treatment for certain HER2-expressing cancers. ZW25 is a novel bi-specific antibody, developed using the company’s Azymetric™ platform, to target two different epitopes (bi-paratopic targeting) of the human epidermal growth factor receptor 2 (HER2) proteinThe protein is known to be over-expressed on the surface of many tumour types, including certain breast, gastric, lung, and ovarian cancers. ZW25 will be evaluated in the clinic for safety as well as efficacy in patients with tumours with low to moderate levels of HER2 expression. The company anticipates it will begin a Phase 1 clinical trial for ZW25 in late August of this year. Additionally, last week  the FDA granted Orphan Drug Designation to ZW25 and a second product, ZW33 for the treatment of ovarian cancer. ZW33 is a drug-conjugated version of ZW25 that is currently in development in preparation for an IND filing in early 2017. Orphan designation qualifies Zymeworks for a number of development incentives, including tax credits for clinical testing and marketing exclusivity for a period of seven years if ZW25 and/or ZW33 is approved for this indication. Story 5 The Ontario Institute for Cancer Research (OICR), Thermo Fisher Scientific and Queen’s University are collaborating on a research study to help bring more targeted diagnosis and treatment to breast cancer patients in the future. The study, led by Dr. John Bartlett, director of OICR’s Transformative Pathology Program, and Dr. Harriet Feilotter, Department of Pathology and Molecular Medicine, Queen’s University, aims to identify mutations and copy number changes found in breast cancer samples and establish whether these abnormalities correlate with on-market drugs, available clinical trials or published studies. OICR-affiliated researchers and collaborators at Queen’s University and Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre will process the same breast cancer samples to establish whether the results are reproducible at different sites. This study will also characterize more than 400 additional retrospective breast cancer samples supporting ongoing clinical research efforts of Dr. Bartlett’s team at OICR, which strives to improve the clinical management of the disease. Collaborators Drs. Martin Yaffe and Arun Seth at Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre will provide laboratory space and additional technical support for the study. Dr. Yaffe is also co-leader of OICR’s Smarter Imaging and Imaging Translation Programs. The study will use Thermo Fisher’s Oncomine Comprehensive Assay, a targeted, next-generation sequencing (NGS) research tool that analyzes 143 genes relevant to cancer and which is the NGS assay used for the NCI-MATCH study in the United States. The data generated can be further studied with the Oncomine Knowledgebase Reporter, which is a curated set of published evidence that matches driver genetic variants with relevant information, such as on-market drugs, available clinical trials, or published studies. The findings of the OICR study will be used to assess the technology and could inform subsequent clinical trials. Drs. Feilotter and Bartlett have also engaged six laboratories in Ontario, including at Hamilton Health Sciences, London Health Sciences Centre, Ottawa General Hospital, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, Sudbury Health Science North and University Health Network to look at the robustness and reproducibility of the assay across different cancer samples. This collaboration could extend the findings of this study beyond breast cancer to other common cancers. Story 6 Vancouver’s Innovative Targeting Solutions has teamed up with yet another major life science company, this time striking a research collaboration deal with Janssen Biotech, Inc. (Janssen), through Johnson & Johnson Innovation.  The deal will allow Janssen to utilize Innovative Targeting Solutions' proprietary HuTARG™ research platform to discover antibody candidates useful for modulating immune responses in autoimmunity or cancer. The HuTARG™ protein engineering platform is able to engineer both T-cell receptors and fully human antibodies that bind major histocompatibility complex (MHC)/peptide complexes displaying fragments of intracellular proteins of interest.  Essentially, it allows researchers to generate and engineer fully human antibodies. The technology underlying the platform is based upon the natural process of V(D)J recombination, employed by the human immune system to produce a diverse repertoire of antibodies. Details of the collaboration including the specific targets, number of targets, and specific therapeutic indications have not yet been disclosed nor have financial details. In June, ITS announced a research collaboration with Merck, to utilize the HuTARG™ research platform to help identify and develop biologic therapeutic candidates directed towards targets that have historically been a challenge for biologic therapies, and just two weeks ago, ITS also partnered with another Vancouver-based company known for its own string of deals with pharma, Zymeworks. Other disclosed ITS collaborators include Novartis and Amgen. Story 7 A few months ago, Biotechnology Focus spoke with Phil Vanek (of GE Healthcare) and Michael May (of CCRM) about BridGE@CCRM, the centre they co-created at the MaRS West Towere to help accelerate the creation of cellular therapeutic tools. Now GE is taking another step in its mission to bring the right infrastructure to the global cell therapy industry, with another unique partnership here in Canada, signing an exclusive licensing agreement with Vancouver-based STEMCELL Technologies Inc., to develop and commercialize cGMP grade versions of STEMCELL’s T-Cell reagents for the isolation, activation, and culture of T-cells in clinical applications. Both parties say these reagents are critical tools in the development and manufacturing of cell and gene therapies intended for administration to patients. The following proprietary reagents from STEMCELL Technologies will be qualified as cGMP-grade materials and licensed by GE Healthcare:  ImmunoCult™ Human CD3/CD28 T-Cell Activator, ImmunoCult™ Human CD3/CD28/CD2 T-Cell Activator, EasySep™ Release Human CD3 Positive Selection Kit and the ImmunoCult™–XF T-Cell Expansion Medium. According to Allen Eaves, president and CEO of STEMCELL Technologies Inc. this partnership with GE will give STI customers the confidence of a path to the clinic with a suite of critical cGMP grade T-cell reagents as well as help the industry evolve and make these promising therapies, such as CAR-T cells and TCR-engineered T cells, a clinical reality. The agreement closely follows GE’s acquisition of Biosafe Group SA, as well as many other investments in the space to make available a turnkey, scalable, flexible manufacturing solution that will enable access to these critical therapies. With that we’ve come to the end of this week’s program. We hope you enjoyed it. A big thanks to our production manager Laskey Hart and the rest of the Biotechnology Focus team.

The death knell for classical music has been ringing for decades. Yet many say the music is not only alive, it's kicking! Join us for a fascinating, up-close-and-personal conversation with two highly original voices – Alexander Shelley, Music Director of the NAC Orchestra, and Andrew Potter, Editor of the Ottawa Citizen. With special guest Nadia Sirota ,violist and host of WQXR's Q2 Music Meet the Composer podcast.

 Andrew Potter is a video producer, musician, performer and digital storyteller. He spent 15 years as a juggler and street performer in San Francisco. His work with Wheeler Cole as the High Street Circus earned them 1st prize in the San Francisco Street Performers Competition, as well as winners of the "Premio Strada" performing competition in Milano, Italy and numerous tours in Japan and Canada.   As a video producer, his PSA for kids "Johnny Seatbelt Sez..." won national recognition as an outstanding public service announcement for children. He has also produced many video shorts for entertainment, non-profit and promotional venues.As a musician, he is a virtuoso guitarist, and is currently touring folk clubs around New England, performing his humorous and eclectic blend of old jazz and folk tunes, fingerstyle instrumentals and original songs.    Andrew's current work, "The Road to High Street" is a multimedia show incorporating live performance, music and storytelling with projected video and composite imagery.   

In this episode, we discuss selling out, countercultures, and authenticity with Andrew Potter, the author of "The Authenticity Hoax." Afterward, I eat a Chewie Chewbacca Chocolate Chip vegan cookie and read a study about the sugar high and hyperactivity. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“No one is sincere except for me and you. And lately I've had my doubts about you.”   We're staring into the face of a trend. I told you in Dec. 2003 that we were moving into an era of “working together for the common good” and that the transition would take 6 years. Thousands of you from Stockholm to Sydney to Las Vegas to South Carolina slipped into the hour-and-a-half multimedia time-tunnel in which I illustrated the arc of society's 40-year pendulum. Thousands more of you have seen one of my partners make the same presentation. That 6-year transition is ended; we're now living solidly in the upswing of a Civic cycle. This year's “Final Four” playoffs in college basketball were conspicuously absent of attention-grabbing superstars. Prior to the games, Tom Davis of NBC Sports wrote, “This is being billed as the ‘No Name' Final Four for its lack of a star-studded cast of individuals.” In a related story, Michigan State coach Tom Izzo said, “The megastar that maybe you normally seem to find in these Final Fours maybe isn't there. I think it's refreshing that you're looking at four teams that ‘team' is maybe the most important thing.” Working together for the common good is a beautiful dream. But we always take a good thing too far. “Working together for the common good” quickly becomes “I'm not convinced you're working hard enough and I'm not entirely sure of your motives. What do you have to say for yourself?” People who offer evaluation and advice presume to be superior under the guise of being “helpful.” I find few things in life as irritating as faux purity and faux authenticity: the Faux Real. (The title of today's memo is an inside joke. Pennie and I have pronounced faux [foe] as “fox” ever since the day an imperious woman in an antique shop condescended to explain to us that a particular antique had a “fox finish.” Sniffing and looking down her nose, she said, “Fox is French for false.” We've been laughing about it for 20 years.) Yes, we're moving into an era of hyper-accountability. Soon Cain will no longer answer, “Am I my brother's keeper?” but will take great pride in keeping his brother on the straight and narrow. The Cain of tomorrow will be a pest, a prig* and a self-righteous tattle-tale. The Spanish Inquisition and the holocaust of the Nazis were the result of just such a trend getting out of control. “There is nothing that makes us feel so good as the idea that someone else is an evildoer.” – Robert Lynd (1879 – 1949) “Men who believe themselves to be good, who do not search their own souls, often commit the worst atrocities. It is only when we do evil in the belief that we do good that we pursue it wholeheartedly.” – David Farland  Just as the Final Four were taking the basketball court, Andrew Potter released a new book, The Authenticity Hoax: How We Get Lost Finding Ourselves. David Pitt of BOOKLIST writes, “We live, Potter argues, in a world dominated by the prepackaged and the artificial, the fraudulent and the fake. Growing out of this increasingly bleak cultural landscape is a movement centered on the notion of authenticity: the honest, the natural, the real. That's all fine and good, Potter says, except for one thing: we don't have a clue what we mean by authenticity, and even if we did, we wouldn't know how to find it. That is, the quest for authenticity is a hoax—there is no such thing. Authenticity is an exclusionist notion, defined by what it isn't, not by what it is, and, for the most part, so-called authentic lifestyles are just as artificial and contrived as the rest of modern culture.” Tess Vigeland, interviewing Andrew Potter, said, “You also talk about the one-upmanship that comes into play here, keeping up with the authentic Joneses, especially when it comes to being authentically environmentally friendly. You say there's this trend toward competitive...

The Abbott & Costello Show - Abbott and Costello William (Bud) Abbott and Lou Costello (born Louis Francis Cristillo) were an American comedy duo whose work in radio, film and television made them one of the most popular teams in the history of comedy. Thanks to the endurance of their most popular and influential routine, "Who's on First?"---whose rapid-fire word play and comprehension confusion set the preponderant framework for most of their best-known routines---the team are also the only comedians known to have been inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. Bud Abbott was born in Asbury Park, NJ, October 2, 1897 and died April 24, 1974 in Woodland Hills, California. Lou Costello was born in Paterson, NJ, March 6, 1906 and died March 3, 1959 in East Los Angeles, California. After working as Allen's summer replacement, Abbott and Costello joined Edgar Bergen and Charlie McCarthy on The Chase and Sanborn Hour in 1941, while two of their films (Buck Privates and Hold That Ghost) were adapted for Lux Radio Theater. They launched their own weekly show October 8, 1942, sponsored by Camel cigarettes. The Abbott and Costello Show mixed comedy with musical interludes (usually, by singers such as Connie Haines, Marilyn Maxwell, the Delta Rhythm Boys, Skinnay Ennis, and the Les Baxter Singers). Regulars and semi-regulars on the show included Artie Auerbrook, Elvia Allman, Iris Adrian, Mel Blanc, Wally Brown, Sharon Douglas, Verna Felton, Sidney Fields, Frank Nelson, Martha Wentworth, and Benay Venuta. Ken Niles was the show's longtime announcer, doubling as an exasperated foil to Abbott & Costello's mishaps (and often fuming in character as Costello insulted his on-air wife routinely); he was succeeded by Michael Roy, with annoncing chores also handled over the years by Frank Bingman and Jim Doyle.
