24 November 2023 marks forty years since Terry Pratchett's The Colour of Magic was first published. That's right - it's Discworld's fortieth birthday! To celebrate, join Pratchat producer and co-host Ben McKenzie as he - and a bunch of special guests - try to figure out why that book, and moreso the Discworld series it started, have endured for so long. This episode is something of an experiment for Pratchat, and as Ben says during the episode, this can't possibly cover all the reasons why the series is so beloved. We want to hear about your favourite Discworld books, and what it means to you. And we'd love to know what you thought of this episode, and whether you'd like to hear more like it in the future!

It's Casual Friday! Sam and Emma speak with Jacob Silverman, co-author of the book Easy Money: Cryptocurrency, Casino Capitalism, and the Golden Age of Fraud with Ben McKenzie, and host of The Naked Emperor podcast on the CBC, to discuss FTX CEO Sam Bankman-Fried's recent fraud and conspiracy convictions. And, Jacob has a special announcement! First, Sam and Emma run through updates on the FTC's case against Amazon, more Eric Adams drama, Trump's fraud case, the EPA, and the US economy, before discussing the Democratic fear-of-ceasefire when doing any messaging – and the importance of that starting to shift Jacob Silverman then joins, diving right into the collapse of Sam Bankman-Fried, the former face of Crypto, beginning one year ago today with the leaking of an FTX balance sheet exposing the first strands of massive conspiracy and fraud between SBF's companies FTX and Alameda, leading up to this week's conviction of him and multiple co-conspirators. After walking through the economic exposé, Silverman parses through the uncovering of the farce of SBF's philosophy of “effective altruism,” and the expansive ties of FTX's funds, before wrapping up with why this disaster hasn't tainted the crypto industry as much as would be expected. Sam and Emma also look at the incredible cold-hearted coverage of Palestinians by the mainstream media, and touch on Ta-Nehisi Coates' comments on the hypocrisy of zionist “democracy.” And in the Fun Half: Sam and Emma watch Jewish Voice for Peace, the Philly Palestine Coalition, and If Not Now swarm Philadelphia's 30th Street Station, discuss the influence of the war on terror on Netanyahu's regime, and the potential economic influence of the Ben Gurion Canal on Israel's ethnic cleansing of Palestine. The GOP turns on Tommy Tuberville, the Las Vegas culinary union plans a strike, and Donald Trump launches Trump University 2.0. The MR Crew remembers Ady Barkan, plus, your IMs!

This episode breaks down how to use the pandemic-era-crypto-mania as a framework for assessing sketchy financial investments. To unpack the topic, Nicole is talking to someone unexpected: Ben McKenzie. You might be surprised to hear Ben's name in connection with this conversation - and if you are, he gets it. Most people know Ben from starring in the TV show The O.C., and fewer people know him from his economics degree. But both are on his resume. Nicole and Ben talk about the systemic issues that made them both skeptical of crypto from the jump, Ben's meeting with the infamous Sam Bankman Fried, and how to look for financial red flags.

I had the enormous honour of interviewing Dr. Ben McKenzie, EM physician and a PhD candidate at the University of Melbourne studying the topic of resuscitation algorithms in anaphylaxis and asthma. The tragic death of his son Ben McKenzie at the age 15 from hypoxic respiratory arrest as a result of anaphylaxis and asthma in 2021 has led Dr. McKenzie on a mission to prevent deaths from anaphylaxis and asthma by educating emergency providers around the world using his AMAX4 algorithm as a framework... The post Ep 187 Crashing Anaphylaxis – AMAX4 Algorithm and The Max McKenzie Case appeared first on Emergency Medicine Cases.

Host Reed Galen is joined by the television star turned crypto-critic…Ben McKenzie. They discuss the rise of cryptocurrency, who's drawn to it, and why no one can seem to explain exactly what it is. Plus, a look at the fraud of Sam Bankman-Fried/FTX and other major players in the crypto-space…and how Donald Trump's presidency/MAGA set the stage for cryptocurrency to take off in the way that it did. For more on this topic, be sure to check out Ben McKenzie's new book, Easy Money: Cryptocurrency, Casino Capitalism, and the Golden Age of Fraud.

We also view an odd video of Mitch McConnell freezing mid speech during a press conference which leads to a discussion on age and careers. Lastly, we discover how Florida water temperatures reached 100 degrees. Adam welcomes Actor & Author Ben McKenzie to discuss all things crypto, which Ben pinpoints as, “The greatest ponzi scheme in history”. Only a small percentage of crypto is real money, and a whopping 80% of people in the US never even dabbled in the crypto arena. Adam next welcomes Dr. Greg Hammer who is a physician, a professor at Stanford University School of Medicine as well as an author. Dr. Hammer shares two specific types of happiness that people experience in life, and additionally he shares that in his professional career he's never seen such stressors before as he has the last several years affecting humanity. Also, our brains are wired towards a negativity bias, where only 20% of our thoughts are positive. They also discuss other keys to happiness concerning the 10,000 hour rule, patience and hardwork, delayed gratification, and more.

Teen heartthrob turned anti-crypto crusader? It may seem an unlikely path, but Ben McKenzie, the former star of "The O.C.," didn't take the easy path to wealth promised by bitcoin that many of his peers did. Instead, he looked beyond the big paychecks and risked his career to call out the scammers and liars behind crypto investing and his contemporaries in Hollywood who took their money to help sell it. Ben tells Andy about his decision to risk everything and expose the truth behind cryptocurrencies and the people who shill them in his new book, "Easy Money".

Later, we’ll talk with economics BA, former teen idol and new author Ben McKenzie about why Hollywood fell hard for crypto.
