Nate Gadol is a spirit with the power to make anything last for as long as it's needed, whether oil, chocolate, or a flower. Gadol's special gift is at the center of The Hanukkah Magic of Nate Gadol, a children's book from author Arthur Levine. Growing up, Levine says, he felt that the Jewish holiday was often eclipsed by the mythology surrounding Christmas, with beloved characters like Rudolph, Frosty the Snowman, and Santa Claus. With Nate Gadol, Levine aims to introduce a mythological hero that Jewish people could call their own. In today's episode, we revisit a conversation between Levine and NPR's Scott Simon. They discuss the backstory behind Hanukkah presents and the many forms Jewish families take today.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

Higher education is facing an enrollment cliff. Or, as Augustana University President Stephanie Herseth Sandlin puts it, a "consumption cliff." Not only are there fewer students for universities to recruit, there are also fewer students even considering enrolling in post-secondary education.In this episode, we discuss some of the ways private universities can hedge against these upcoming challenges. STEM education - when integrated into a traditional liberal arts model - can play a vital role in attracting students to a university.You'll learn:Why universities who don't embrace STEM may be closing their doors in the next 5 yearsHow to incorporate STEM without losing the liberal arts coreWhy tuition shouldn't stop families from considering a private university - and what universities should do to dispel these mythsHow higher education leaders can empower the innovators on their teams to discover ways to integrate STEM into strategic planningThe importance of "finding a third way"3 Big Takeaways from this episode:Liberal arts universities should integrate STEM fields into their programs: We shouldn't stop teaching liberal arts, but we should find ways to incorporate STEM concepts, practices and technologies into a liberal arts core to provide a well-rounded education and meet the demands of the job market. Hear how Augustana University is doing just this in their STEM Scholars program, through healthcare education and more.Offer the vitamins of education, not just the calories: To thrive in this new era of higher education, universities have to offer more than just four-year degree programs. Learners are looking for certificates, bootcamps, micro-credentials and other short-term programs that will support their lifelong learning efforts.STEM is everywhere; empower your staff to think outside the traditional academic box and innovate higher education: The STEM world moves quickly, and the strictures of academia don't always enable universities to pivot at the same pace. But university leaders can empower the entrepreneurial thinkers on their staff to embed STEM themes into existing programs. Hear how Augustana's music programs have done just this.Resources mentioned in this episode:To learn more about Augustana University, visit their websiteRead The Great Upheaval: Higher Education's Past, Present, and Uncertain Future by Arthur Levine and Scott J.

SHOW NOTES: https://jewishbooks.blogspot.com/2023/08/friends-for-lq-auction.html We're squeezing in an extra episode this month to let you know about a special project inspired by our July 2023 interview with Arthur Levine of Levine Querido! After hearing the July interview, listeners Liza Wiemer and Debbi Lakrtiz were inspired to address the challenge of reduced sales that LQ is facing due to its mission of championing diverse voices. Levine Querido is a remarkable publisher with an important yet imperiled mission. In the few short years since they were founded, they've won over 150 awards for their devastatingly beautiful books, but the timing of the pandemic and the rise in book banning is a huge challenge for them. We need Levine Querido to succeed, not just because they are doing great work but because the publishing industry needs to see that diversity does sell. Liza and Debbi are organizing an online auction to help Levine Querido get past this difficult time. You are welcome to donate an item or service, AND of course to bid in the auction! Listen to this short episode to learn more, and please join me in buying LQ books, requesting them from the local library, and supporting Liza and Debbi's auction.

SHOW NOTES: https://jewishbooks.blogspot.com/2023/07/levine-querido-and-100k-books-challenge.html Levine Querido is an independent publishing house founded by legendary editor Arthur Levine. He left his own imprint, Arthur A. Levine Books at Scholastic after 23 years, and he started Levine Querido in 2019 to showcase gorgeous diverse books by creators from underrepresented backgrounds - and he's been very successful, winning award after award. For a non-Jewish publisher, Levine Querido publishes a lot of Jewish books, so I've been wanting to chat with Arthur for a while. When he announced that Team LQ had set a goal to sell 100,000 books by September 1st of this year, I knew it was the right time to have him on the show.

There are so many awesome attractions debuting in 2023, we needed two shows to get to them all! This week, we're joined once again by long-time friend of the show, theme park expert Arthur Levine.
Theme Park expert Arthur Levine joins Mike and EB as they take a look at new attractions coming to parks in 2023!
Arthur Levine is a Theme Park Journalist at AboutThemeParks.fun, and has been covering the amusement industry for more than 30 years. Arthur has regularly contributed to USA Today, About.com, FunWorld, and several other publications where he covers all aspects of theme and amusement parks. His unique career has taken him all over the world, where he was able to attend the grand opening of Shanghai Disneyland, the 25th anniversary of Walt Disney World, and be among the first riders on Iron Gwazi at Busch Gardens Tampa and Mako at SeaWorld Orlando. In this interview, Arthur talks about theme park journalism, turning your passion into your career, and blending nostalgia with technology. Theme park journalism "I have a responsibility to the parks and to the readers, and I take that very seriously." The landscape of journalism has changed drastically over the past few decades, and the attractions industry has had to adapt in the way that stories are shared. While many of the core fundamentals of reporting remain the same, the ability for readers to respond and engage in dialogue has created challenges in today's landscape of social media - including clickbait, gratuitous negativity, and controversy for the sake of controversy. In response to this, Arthur has launched his own Substack, AboutThemeParks.fun, that allows him to offer a subscription service that avoids many of the challenges listed above. Both free and paid subscriptions are available, with bonus content made available to paid subscribers. Turning your passion into your career “If you can enjoy the work that you're doing, that's a great blessing.” Arthur has been passionate about amusement parks for as long as he can remember. As early as two years old, Arthur visited Revere Beach in Massachusetts with his mother and grandmother, and while everyone sat on the beach and looked at the ocean, Arthur faced the other way, enamored by the rides in operation at the park. Since then, Arthur has covered the theme park industry extensively. While there are many perks to his career, many people overlook the amount of hard work that go into producing quality content and meeting deadlines. Blending nostalgia with technology "There's a deep sense of nostalgia, but there's also a great sense of wonder to experience something new." One of the reasons people visit amusement parks is to relive memories from their childhood and to share these experiences with their families as they create new traditions. This creates an opportunity for parks - whether they are trolley parks that opened in 1800s or Disney theme parks - to preserve their heritage for years to come. It also creates a challenge, considering much of today's consumer demands greater use of technology. However, much of the industry was founded on the premise of showcasing new technologies that allowed them to wow and awe their guests. Therefore, when parks embrace new technology, it allows them to maintain their roots of providing cutting edge entertainment to guests. To subscribe to Arthur's substack, visit AboutThemeParks.fun.

In the next 20 years, consumers of higher education will determine what higher education will be, and every institution will have to change. Everyone will have the same kind of choice and just-in-time opportunities to take courses from a broader range of providers as we have in music, film, and newspapers. Research universities and residential colleges will be more aligned with work and offer new types of credentials. Community colleges and regional universities will be disrupted, providing low-cost, anytime/anywhere courses, and will likely have to compete with brand-name corporations and cultural agencies that offer the same kind of just-in-time credentials. Arthur Levine, former president of Teachers College, Columbia University, and co-author of The Great Upheaval: The Past, Present and Uncertain Future of Higher Education, argues that these changes will create equity issues in higher education, leading to a two-tiered system, one for affluent students and the other for low-income students and students of color. He argues for providing students with the differential resources they require to achieve the same result. This will require expanding scholarship programs, making education free of cost from grade 12 today to grade 14, closing the digital divide for underserved populations, and providing students with not only greater access to higher education but also greater choice among institutions. Meanwhile, as our society becomes more fragmented and divided, we have reason to worry that higher education's transformation will further fragment us. College is likely to be an increasingly individualized experience aimed at connecting people to new uses of knowledge but not common knowledge.” All things considered” may soon become “one thing considered,” with each person determining what they want that thing to be. This calls for a new common curriculum that focuses on what unites us as humans and includes study of communications, our shared heritage, ethics and values, critical thinking, and how to live in a diverse, interconnected, multicultural world.

Hello, Austria! Thank you for joining us here in leaving the world a little sillier. Today’s episode hails from September 17th, 1995. I have titled it: The Night of Tertiary Talk! We begin with a Jack Harte traffic report. Then Norm talks about his rather busy day. He got off the air and went over to the WBZ Farm Stand. Later that day, before he came back to work the overnight, he attended an event at the Hatch Shell: A Swing Celebration in honor of Ballroom Dancing Week! And later we learn that the next day he and I were going to be doing a show. Norm used to go around to senior centers, private meetings and other places and talk about Old Time Radio. Arthur Levine booked the gigs. Ed Mullen, of Swell Music Quiz fame and fortune, used to do the set up and produce them. When he moved on, Norm asked me, and we worked together on that until his passing. It consisted of playing cuts from classic radio broadcasts and commercials, plus a world renown demonstration by Norm and I on sound effects…and talking about all of it with the audiences. The procession of callers are as follows: BILLY CLYDE! I was so thrilled to find this tape with Billy on it. He was a popular caller on the Larry Glick Show and famous for, among other thing, a story he told about an orangutan. He and Larry were laughing uncontrollably. It was so popular that other callers would request to hear it again. I have not come across it here as of yet but I’m sure SOME body has a copy and if I get the chance I will definitely share it! He loved Norm too and they talk about jazz. The tape cuts out and returns with Billy again. He starts the ‘tertiary roads’ discussion that dominates the episode! The bonus is we get to hear that great Billy Clyde laugh! They move on to talking about some radio personalities and Norm gives us some fun insight. Just an all-around super moment from Norm’s Show. We hear from Mel who references Billy Clyde and talks more jazz with Norm. Then we have a brief call from Diane who will be attending the Old Time Radio show we would be doing later that day. There’s a bizarre call from someone going by the name of Carmine. Tertiary Talk carries on with Jane from Woodstock, CT. She also discusses the Brimfield Antique Show. She happens to be a dealer in antique electrical goods! Providence, RI chimes in with their ‘tertiary sewage treatment.’ Then we cut to the close of a Dumb Birthday Game. Players were Reed, Marge, Margaret, Ken in traffic and Patrick Murray who was producing and in studio. Before Norm lets Patrick go we discover that someone has parked a moped IN the mailroom at WBZ! We return to calls: A listener talks all about their love affair with the Corvette. Pam from Saugus asks Norm about the Lynn Item newspaper and Norm tells of his losing battle with a vending machine. We close with Irene from Dayton, OH looking for the answer to trivia question she heard on Bob Raleigh’s show. Stick around because Norm leafs through his leather-bound tombs of useless info to help her out.
September 14, 2021 The doe are preparing for their early summer birth. Their tummies well rounded and they're packing together like true family. It's as if the yearlings and two year old's are still learning. This week it's about becoming a mother. The goal is to teach the newborns how to survive as well as hide. It's as if they're whispering, “We shall help keep this forest growing forward.” Which brings me to a point of thought; what are you doing in your everyday world to replenish your forest? It doesn't have to be trees, rocks and the animal kingdom. Your forest could be New York City or a middle school classroom. I asked the question on my Daily Mess podcast, “Are there any more masters in the making?” Not sports heroes. Master's in the making. Who is investing in tomorrow's leaders? It has to come from those who are leading today. But to get to that point of direction the next question would be, “What have you mastered?” In martial arts we are trained to believe that nothing can be mastered unless it's been done 100,000 times. While the doe in the forest were teaching the yearlings the facts of life, the masters of the forest have generations of deer before them to give them the skills to teach the fawn to hide. In the human business world we rely so much on multitasking that there's physically no room to master your craft. You can be good at something but is it your birth given gift? I just had a conversation with Arthur Levine the author of The Great Upheaval. There's a huge generation gap between physical students on campus and those learning online. How important is it to get students to give to their forests by way of trusting remote learning as a tool versus something you're being forced to do? First graders are returning to remote learning. Without focus on education the learning curve suffers not just in their homes but how they'll handle life when they do reach college age. I study the animals in my forest because it opens my heart to our true presence and weaknesses. Are there any more masters in the making? The craftsmanship of a birth given talent?

But to get to that point of direction the next question would be, “What have you mastered?” In martial arts we are trained to believe that nothing can be mastered unless it's been done 100,000 times. While the doe in the forest were teaching the yearlings the facts of life, the masters of the forest have generations of deer before them to give them the skills to teach the fawn to hide. In the human business world we rely so much on multitasking that there's physically no room to master your craft. You can be good at something but is it your birth given gift? I just had a conversation with Arthur Levine the author of The Great Upheaval. There's a huge generation gap between physical students on campus and those learning online. How important is it to get students to give to their forests by way of trusting remote learning as a tool versus something you're being forced to do? First graders are returning to remote learning. Without focus on education the learning curve suffers not just in their homes but how they'll handle life when they do reach college age. I study the animals in my forest because it opens my heart to our true presence and weaknesses. Are there any more masters in the making? The craftsmanship of a birth given talent?

September 14, 2021 The doe are preparing for their early summer birth. Their tummies well rounded and they're packing together like true family. It's as if the yearlings and two year old's are still learning. This week it's about becoming a mother. The goal is to teach the newborns how to survive as well as hide. It's as if they're whispering, “We shall help keep this forest growing forward.” Which brings me to a point of thought; what are you doing in your everyday world to replenish your forest? It doesn't have to be trees, rocks and the animal kingdom. Your forest could be New York City or a middle school classroom. I asked the question on my Daily Mess podcast, “Are there any more masters in the making?” Not sports heroes. Master's in the making. Who is investing in tomorrow's leaders? It has to come from those who are leading today.

09/14/21 - Historian John Rhodehamel And Author Arthur Levine by The Lisa Wexler Show
Big changes are coming to higher education, and those changes will be bigger and more disruptive than many college leaders and experts realize as online learning grows. That's the view of longtime education leader Arthur Levine, in a new book called The Great Upheaval: Higher Education's Past, Present, and Uncertain Future. And that means it's time to think differentLY about equity.
Last week, we found out where Gerstlauer's "Mystery Coaster" for 2022 was going to be built -- Glenwood Caverns in Colorado, going by the name "Defiance." This week on the podcast, we're joined by Glenwood Caverns' General Manager Nancy Heard to learn, not only about Defiance, but a little more about America's only Mountaintop Amusement Park. Did you know that Glenwood Caverns dates all the way back to 1895, or that they opened the first-ever Alpine Coaster in North America in 2005? Or that when you order at their new "Smokehouse" restaurant, they will quite literally pull the meat off the grill and put it on your plate? Curious about how the new roller coaster got its name? We've got you covered! If you listen close enough, you might even hear what's coming next for Glenwood Caverns after Defiance opens next spring!

First Draft Episode #216: Mallory Kass (a.k.a. Kass Morgan) Kass Morgan, New York Times bestselling author of The 100 and Light Years (a.k.a. Mallory Kass, senior editor at Scholastic). Supernova, the sequel to Light Years, is out now! Links and Topics Mentioned In This Episode Kass’s father wrote for Seinfeld Paula Abdul (her iconic Forever Your Girl is a great starting point) and Janet Jackson (oh my god, where to begin? Rhythm Nation is a must, and The Velvet Rope is everything— also apparently she wrote a book! True You: A Journey to Finding and Loving Yourself) were two pop stars Mallory was totally unaware of when she moved from Brooklyn to Los Angeles at age 11 Once she figured out that she was not destined to be an academic, Kass moved to New York and started an internship at Scholastic with Arthur Levine, who edited a little book series called Harry Potter (when she started at the publisher, Levine was working on Deathly Hallows in secret) Kass’s bosses at Scholastic, Rachel Griffiths and David Levithan (New York Times bestselling author of Every Day and Boy Meets Boy), were instrumental in making her feel comfortable pursuing writing as well as editing Cheryl B. Klein, associate editor at Scholastic and Kass’s co-worker, encouraged Kass to talk to Alloy Entertainment, a book packaging firm known for projects such as Gossip Girl by Cecily von Ziegesar and Vampire Diaries by L. J. Smith. Alloy contacted Kass to work on a new project, The 100! I loved Zenon: Girl of the 21st Century, which features a space school, and so did Kass! Looking for Alaska by John Green (which is about to be a Hulu show) is the type of boarding school narrative that we’re more accustomed to reading — Kass threw the boarding school into space!

Back in 2014, shortly after Arthur Levine first stepped into the CFO office at Sensus Healthcare, the fast-growing medical device company hit a sizable speed bump. A growing number of future Sensus customers were putting their purchases on hold as uncertainty around insurance reimbursements grew in relation to a review being conducted by The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services. In order to quickly ease the company’s hefty appetite for cash, Levine and Sensus management executed a sizable layoff largely impacting the company’s sales team–while for the time being the healthcare company opted to leave its research and development team untouched. Ultimately, reimbursements for Sensus offerings remained in place and product demand surged, allowing its 2015 revenues to jump 77 percent. Such news could not have been better timed for an initial public offering, a notion upon which Sensus acted in early 2016. “We became one of the first companies to complete an IPO in 2016. Actually, we were the only Florida-based company to go public on a major exchange that year,” explains Levine, who had helped to restore the company’s sales function by green-lighting a flurry of new sales hires in 2015. “I like the challenge of turning companies around,” says Levine, who quickly adds: “I also like periods of stability and a little less stress.” –Jack Sweeney NOW SUBSCRIBE The Quarterly Digest of CFO Strategic Insight- http://bit.ly/2Wfv291

Gunderman, Chancellor's Professor of Radiology, Pediatrics, Medical Education, Philosophy, Liberal Arts, Philanthropy and Medical Humanities and Health Studies at Indiana University; and Donna Heiland, Vice President of Emerson College.

This year, theme park fans are feverishly anticipating not one, not two, but THREE wooden coasters with inversions. The first, Outlaw Run at Silver Dollar City opened to much fanfare and success. Now, we hear about the 2nd inverting wooden coaster to open... Iron Rattler at Six Flags Fiesta Texas. We're joined by Arthur Levine, the Theme Parks Guide at About.com, who had a chance to ride the coaster on its opening weekend. We'll discuss the ride's unique features, it's amazing setting and whether or not this should really count as a wooden coaster. Oh yeah, Arthur will also tell us if the ride is actually worth riding! We'll also hear three Live Trip Reports from different parks around the country. We'll hear reviews of the new "Antarctica: Empire of the Penguin" at Sea World Orlando. We'll also hear reviews of "White Lightning" and "Freedom Flyer" at Fun Spot in Orlando. Finally, we'll go live to Layer Elementary School in Central Florida to talk with the winners of their coaster design contest! Their teacher happens to be a fan of CoasterRadio.com and asked EB and Mike to judge a contest where the kids learned about the physics and technology behind ride design. Who knows, we might be talking to the next generation of Disney Imagineers! Check out all of the show notes and links in our new interactive ZEEN - "In Styleee!" It's brand new for Season Seven!

The very first episode of our podcast was on April 25, 2005. We spent that first show looking ahead at all of the new attractions that would be opening at theme parks across the country in 2005. Reviewing the new attractions for the upcoming summer has become an annual tradition here at the show and this year is no different. This week, we take a look ahead at 12 new rides and attractions that will be making their debut in 2012. From roller coasters to flat rides to water slides... we'll talk about new attractions that will demand your attention. Joining us on the show to lend his expertise is the Theme Parks Guide from About.com... Arthur Levine! Arthur will give us in-depth detail about each new attraction... including some breaking news about what will happen inside the event building of Busch Gardens Williamsburg's new coaster - Verbolten! Plus, we'll announce the winner of our HIMYM Caption Contest and give yet another clue in our Soundwave Contest! (You'll have to listen to the show to find out what that is!)
For each individual season of Coaster Radio, EB and Mike like to have something called a "story arc." Basically, it's a common theme and storyline that can carry over throughout an entire season of the show. For season four, we followed Mike as he prepared for and ultimately triumphed at The American Idol Experience at Disney's Hollywood Studios. But in Season Five, the guys unveiled their most ambitious "story arch" ever - The Neil Patrick Harris Project. EB and Mike wanted to have a major celebrity (who happened to love theme parks) agree to become the voiceover artist that introduces each episode of the show. They locked on film, television and stage star Neil Patrick Harris, who turned out to be a listener of the show already! This week, after ten months of wacky contests, Towers of Treats and major charity events, Neil is ready to announce whether he will become a part of the Original Theme Park Podcast! We also welcome back an old friend, Arthur Levine - the theme parks guide at about.com! Arthur recently had a chance to ride Star Tours: The Adventures Continue at Disneyland and The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Undersea Adventure at Disney California Adventure. He'll tell Mike and EB which ride made it to his list of Top Theme Park Attractions and which ride gave him a slight case of anticipointment. We'll also hear from the CoasterRadio.com audience as they talk about their favorite water rides. Which wet and wild rides are the best in the country? The listeners have the scoop! We'll also have a Live Trip Report from Dinosaurs Alive! at Kings Island and Mike will tell you about his upcoming trip to Hungary to ride one of the oldest coasters in the world!

Depending on where you live, there's anywhere from 70 to 90 days before the regional parks open their gates for the 2011 season. So for the title of this week's show, we averaged it out to 80 days. Here at Coaster Radio, we're pretty excited about the 2011 theme park season. So, we're spending this week talking about the new attractions we think are going to make some noise this summer. To help us out, we're joined by long-time friend Arthur Levine, the theme parks guide from About.com! He'll help us figure out which attractions and going to be hits and which ones might be duds. He'll also let us in on the details behind The 2011 Readers' Choice Awards on About.com. We'll also look ahead to 2012 and talk about what Walt Disney World has planned for the Magic Kingdom. This week, Disney unveiled plans for "New Fantasyland," the largest expansion in Magic Kingdom's 40-year history! Plus, we'll have a live trip report, tons of calls from the audience and a plea for a "Coaster Radio Day" at Quassy Amusement Park!

The year 2005 was pretty good for theme parks across the world. We saw the premiere of record breaking attractions, new high tech thrill rides and traditional forms of amusement park entertainment. We'll take a look back at the highs and lows of 2005 with Arthur Levine from about.com. We'll talk about the attractions that were big hits and some of the ones that missed the mark. We'll also preview what could be big in 2006. We'll also talk with Ian Clark from ozcoaster.net. He was one of the very first people to ride Superman Escape, the new Intamin Launch Coaster at Warner Brother's Movie World. He'll give us a review of this new attraction that opens this week. After the show, join us in our forums to talk about your opinions. You can also record your thoughts on the CoasterRadio.com Voicemail Line at 206-339-RIDE (206-339-7433). Let us know what you think by e-mailing us at feedback@coasterradio.com. We'd like to wish each of you Happy Holidays and a successful 2006. When we started the show back in April, we had no idea what the reaction would be to a bunch of unknowns talking about theme parks and roller coasters. We figured that a couple hundred people would listen each week at best. But now, here we are eight months later, and a couple thousand of you are listening to the show each week. That totally exceeded our expectations. As cheesy as it sounds, we're really honored that you invite us into your lives (iPods, computers) each week. Like we've said on the show, we're not theme park or coaster experts. Most of you out there know more about this stuff than we do. But the people who truly "get" the show understand that CoasterRadio.com is simply a show celebrating the fun that we all have when we visit the parks. That's all it is and all it ever will be. We appreciate the e-mails we get every day and the many posts on the forums. We appreciate the people who have added themselves to the Frappr map and the people who have left messages on our voice mail line. But we also appreciate all of the people who listen each week that we have NEVER heard from personally. Hopefully we'll get to meet some of you this year. 2006 should be fun and we're glad you're along for the ride. Have a wonderful and safe holiday with your family and friends.
