Longtime journalists Bill Hammond and Nick Reisman joined the show to discuss Andrew Cuomo's record as Governor of New York, with a focus on Cuomo's leadership style. Cuomo, leading the polls in the 2025 Democratic primary for Mayor of New York City, was Governor from January 2011 to August 2021. Hammond - formerly of the New York Daily News and now at the Empire Center - and Reisman, formerly of Capitol Tonight/State of Politics and now at Politico New York - have both covered Cuomo for many years and, in this discussion, help host Ben Max recap Cuomo's decade in power. This is the first in a series of Max Politics episodes that will examine Cuomo's record as Governor and bid to become Mayor. Cuomo has been invited to appear on the show himself but has yet to accept the invitation. Stay tuned for other episodes in this series. (Ep 498)

Ramon Hervey II, a model of resiliency and entrepreneurship, spent the last four decades journeying through multiple facets of the entertainment industry providing services in public relations, executive producing, artist management, live event production and brand consulting. Ramon began his career in public relations gaining valuable experience working as an executive at Rogers & Cowan, one of the entertainment industry’s oldest and most prestigious public relations companies, and Motown Records, before starting his own firm, Hervey & Company. The list of those he's worked with reads like the "Who's Who" of entertainment including Bette Midler, Richard Pryor, Natalie Cole, George Benson and Herb Alpert. Hervey eventually expanded into artist management with rock n' roll icon Little Richard as his first client in the mid-80s, followed by recording star/actress (and future wife) Vanessa Williams, and multiple Grammy Award-winning songwriter/ producer and recording artist, Kenneth "Babyface" Edmonds, along with a host of other award-nominated and award-winning actors, musical acts, comedians, as well as world class athletes, Muhammad Ali and Bruce Jenner (aka Caitlyn Jenner). Ever the entrepreneur, Hervey produced multiple live music events and helmed the Los Angeles-based music production/club entity, R & B LIVE productions, which he created in 1991 with partner, Bill Hammond. During the four-year span of the live club venture, Hervey produced over 160 shows featuring the industry’s most celebrated R&B, contemporary jazz, gospel and rap/hip hop artists and musicians such as Stevie Wonder, Prince, Lenny Kravitz, Chaka Khan, The O’Jays, The Ohio Players, and Al Jarreau. Join Ramon and host Brad Johnson, as Ramon offers sage advice to the younger generation, gives credit to some of the ground-breaking individuals who advanced black culture to a mainstream audience, and discusses how he adapted his business plan to the changing needs of an industry. He tells the story of how he met his ex-wife, Vanessa Williams, during a turbulent time in her blossoming career. Finally, as someone who spent their entire adult life around fame, Ramon discloses his upcoming book project, titled "The Fame Game," where he uses case studies to position fame as a reward and tool, rather than the destination. * * * Please follow @CornerTableTalk on Instagram and Facebook For more information on host Brad Johnson or to join our mailing list, please visit: https://postandbeamhospitality.com/ For questions or comments, please e.mail: info@postandbeamhospitality.comSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

How is vaccine rollout going in New York State? This week we heard important updates from Governor Andrew Cuomo about the vaccination effort happening now in the state, but a lot of details are still missing. While the Cuomo Administration says that some of those are still being worked out -- as the situation remains fluid -- there have been real questions raised about the state's ability to rollout the vaccine to an effective number of people by it's self-imposed guidance. Governor Cuomo has said repeatedly that the state should hit critical mass by late-summer or early-fall at latest. However, Bill Hammond of the Empire Center says that projection could be significantly off after what we've seen play out in recent weeks since vaccine distribution began.

Hammond and the Empire Center was seeking the data on the full-death toll associated with the pandemic in nursing homes. A FOIL request had been submitted in early-August. It sought a count of all nursing home residents who have died from COVID-19. It specifically sought the number who had died after being transferred to hospitals in their final days, which the department has been leaving out of its official tally. After several delays, and the calendar turning to a new year - the FOIL request remains unfulfilled.

This week Governor Andrew Cuomo announced that parts of Rochester and Syracuse would enter Orange Zone designation. It's part of New York State's Coronavirus micro-cluster mitigation strategy. It means focusing economic restrictions -- like pausing non-essential business activity -- to specific zip codes. For example, reducing the number of people who can be seated at a restaurant table in a yellow zone, or pausing dine-in service altogether in orange zones. There are specific parameters for Yellow, Orange, and Red micro-cluster zones, which is effectively a balance between the economic consequences of shutting down non-essential businesses, and trying to preserve public health -- all in the midst of a global pandemic. But here's a question: Has it worked? Bill Hammond, Senior Fellow For Health Policy at the Empire Center, recently took a dive into the data. What he uncovered didn't surprise him, but for casual observers of the state's ongoing response to the Coronavirus Pandemic -- the recent surge of cases suggests the micro-cluster mitigation strategy isn't working as intended. The positivity rate inside the zones across New York State has declined, but the overall numbers in New York State are spiking. Hammond wrote, “In the six weeks since the cluster strategy was launched, New York's rate of new infections has increased by 244 percent, to almost 5,000 per day. The number of people hospitalized has nearly doubled, to more than 2,000. And the seven-day average death rate has increased by 125 percent, to 30 per day.” Today on The Daily Debrief a conversation with Hammond about his reporting, and what the numbers tell us as more communities across New York State are painted shades of yellow, orange, and red.

I'm sitting down with one of New Hampshire's most distinguished educators: Bill Hammond. He's worked in the Hanover-Norwich school system for 36 years as a principal and teacher. He has taught thousands of students in multiple academic disciplines, and I bet a crazy number of these alumni remember Bill to this day. That's impact, and that's why I wanted to bring Bill's story to The Sydcast listening community around the world. And what a story it is – growing up with 11 siblings, crafting a life of learning, and doing it in some of the most innovative ways you could think of. Bill is a master teacher, and nothing less. In this episode, Bill shares his take on growing up, growing smart, and learning to grow at your own pace in an era where the pressures on youth have never been greater.

Dr. William Li is a cancer researcher and is the Director and CEO of the Angiogenesis Foundation. He is also the author of the new book that I enjoyed very much called, Eat to Beat Disease. He argues that a common thread between many chronic diseases is the formation of either too many or too few blood vessels, otherwise known as angiogenesis.  In our conversation we also speak about ketogensis, the reason why your grandmother who smoke and drank lived to 95 years old, the 5 pillar defense systems within the body, starving cancer cells and chemo and radiation treatments for cancer.  Thank you to Bill Hammond and Diane Vanderwoude for becoming patrons of the podcast.
