Podcast appearances and mentions of bill moyer

Join us to meet Bill Moyer, the Executive Director and co-founder of the Backbone Campaign, a movement-building organization based here on Vashon Island. Bill chats with us about the origins of the Backbone Campaign, their art-driven activism, and some of their most memorable campaigns -- including helping to organize the community to block the development of a gravel mine on Maury Island in 2008. Bill tells us about a life-changing experience that solidified the backbone metaphor, shares why he's excited about the future of U.S. rail transportation, and discusses how his childhood experiences informed his passion for activism that drives social change. Find Bill at Backbone Campaign: https://www.backbonecampaign.org

      Bill Moyer calls himself  a radical solutionary. He's the author of the book Solutionary Rail, a people powered campaign to electrify US railroads and open corridors for a clean energy future.  He also hosts the new podcast Reconnect America and posts essays on Solutionary Rail at Substack. The campaign has evolved into a national effort to put US rail infrastructure back in service of the public interest over Wall Street profit. He  lives with his wife and daughter in the woods of Vashon Island, WA in the Salish Sea.

In this episode, I talk with Bill Moyer, founder of the Reconnect America campaign, about the huge, untapped potential of U.S. railroads to support the clean energy transition. Bill makes the case that our privately owned rail system, focused on short-term profits, is missing out on big public benefits—like shifting freight from roads to rails, reducing emissions, and even using rail corridors to carry high-voltage transmission lines for renewable energy.

At one point Bill Moyer thought he might be a drummer, but instead he was led to a life of activism and enabling others to become activists as well.

On March 6, 2009, a single mom was settling in for a quiet evening at home. Her two daughters, Amanda and Samantha, were with their father for the weekend, so she had the house to herself. It had been a busy week at work, and Nancy Moyer was looking forward to relaxing with a glass of wine. But that Sunday, when Bill Moyer came to her home to drop off their daughters, he found the front door open, the television on, but no Nancy. Since that day, there have been several suspects, including a convicted murderer, a suspicious co-worker, and even a man who confessed to her murder, but no arrests. 13 years later, Nancy's daughters are still actively searching for both their mother and for justice.If you have any information regarding the disappearance of Nancy Moyer, or of any of the persons of interest in this case, please call the Thurston County Sheriff's Office at 360-786-5279.Si tiene alguna información sobre la desaparición de Nancy Moyer o de cualquiera de las personas de interés en este caso, llame a la Oficina del Sheriff del condado de Thurston al 360-786-5279.GoFundMe for Nancy Moyer's investigation: https://www.gofundme.com/f/where-is-nancy-moyerFind us everywhere: https://linktr.ee/attwgpodGet episodes early and ad-free on Patreon: https://patreon.com/attwgpodMerch store: https://www.teepublic.com/stores/attwgpodFor a full list of our sources, please visit our blog: https://andthentheyweregone.com/blogThis week's promo is from Through the Veil: Paranormal talk with JD, a former paranormal investigator.

Ten years ago, prominent activists and a variety of organizations came together early in the year to organize the October2011 Movement, styled on the occupations of space that were occurring during the Arab Spring and in capitals across the United States. That movement merged with the Occupy Movement when it was announced later that year. Clearing the FOG speaks with Bill Moyer of the Backbone Campaign, one of the organizers of October2011, about what was happening at the time, the occupation of Freedom Plaza in Washington, DC and the impact the Occupy Movement had on activism in the United States. Moyer discusses the lessons learned and the movements and victories that came after Occupy. Plus a segment by Paul Tulloch on the 2008-09 financial crash and the current precarious global economy.

Friday, March 6, 2009 was the last day anyone saw Nancy Moyer in her town of Tenino, Washington. She had no known enemies, a great relationship with her estranged husband, and two young daughters. There have been several suspects but not enough evidence to prosecute anyone in Nancy's death. She still remains missing. This is her story. 

In this collaboration with Rebel Radio, Anna Hyde hosts this Special with the director and some of the protagonists of the film 'Race to Save the World'. Anna first speaks to director Joe Gant about what made him create this film. Joe explains that once you know how bad the climate and ecological emergency is, you can't ever unknow it - but it can make people feel overwhelmed and powerless. His film is aims to inspire those who are aware to start taking action. And not stop until we have achieved what is required. The film follows several activists in the USA and documents their actions as well as the implications these actions have on their lives. Anna interviews three of these activist: Abby Brockway, Michael Foster and Bill Moyer.

Today's episode # 36 is about The New Recovery Advocacy Movement via a conversation with author, educator and father of the movement, William L. White. Bill has worked full time in the addictions field since 1969 as a street worker, counselor, clinical director, researcher and well-traveled trainer and consultant. He has authored or co-authored more than 400 articles and 17 books on the subject of addiction. His book, Slaying the Dragon – The History of Addiction Treatment and Recovery in America has featured him on such celebrated programs as Bill Moyer's PBS special, Close to Home: Addiction in America and the Showtime documentary, Smoking, Drinking and Drugging in the 20th Century. Bill is also featured on Greg William's critically acclaimed, feature documentary, The Anonymous People. Bill White's sustained contributions are an ongoing treasure for Recovery Advocacy.

Bill Moyer serves as CEO of sosleadership.com. On this episode join Bill and Bear as they look at what it takes to be a leader rooted in scripture in today's world.

On the third episode of Impact Everywhere with host Benjamin Von Wong, we hear from Will Mezner who offers his unique insights not only into the different ways movements can develop and grow, but also how artists can best contribute to them. If you’re interested in hearing the full podcast, check out these links:Listen on Google PodcastsListen on Apple PodcastsListen on SpotifyThe power that social movements have for orchestrating change can’t be overstated, and the unique skills that artists bring to them means their help is always welcomed. For today’s discussion, we talk about the intersections between artists and movements with Will Mezner, a youth engagement leader at World Vision, Australia’s largest development NGO. Will kicks things off by giving listeners some insights into the process of how change happens in society and also talks about some of the dominant models for organizing it.We hear about how social change initiatives can scale from petitions to campaigns and then start to take on a life of their own once they become full-blown movements. Will has a bunch of great information to share about the ratios between supporters and resistors of a cause, how these change as a movement grows, and what happens at the tipping point. Our conversation then turns to the role artists can play in these movements and we talk about art’s unique power as well as consider some logistical questions about how artists can partner with NGOs to combine powers.Will makes a strong case for the concept of making good art first. By this, he means that art can make the most impact if it is already firmly rooted in a cause, rather than being tacked onto the cause of the NGO as an afterthought. He also speaks about his own experience in working on campaigns that collaborate with artists, and at which points in a movement’s growth an artist’s help can be of most use. In the end, the overarching message is that all parties who involve themselves in a cause for change should realize that they are participating in something communal because it is only in numbers that people can take a true stand!Key Points From This Episode:• Four strategies for organizing change: ‘cup of tea’, place-based, online, and distributed.• A quick study of movements that acquire a life of their own after an initial spark through the research of Saul Alinsky• A reflection on a commencement speech by Neil Gaiman that talks about the critical importance of an artist to Make Good Art.• Erica Chenoweth and the two key ingredients to a successful movement: majority and active support.• A brief introduction to Bill Moyer’s ‘movement action plan’ and the strategic frameworks that describe the 8 stages of a successful social movement.•The Inner Game and Outer Game of how artists can collaborate with campaigns through a distributed organization strategy.

In dieser Folge stelle ich Dir den Movement Action Plan nach Bill Moyer vor, der den zyklischen Ablauf einer sozialen Bewegung beschreibt. Ich finde es sehr beruhigend, wenn ich weiß, dass ich mit einem Empfinden nicht ganz alleine bin und dieses 8-Phasen-Model nach Bill Moyer beschreibt sehr genau, wie sich soziale Bewegungen, wie z.B. die Tierrechtsbewegung entwickeln. Es kommt eine Phase, in der Aktivistinnen und Aktivisten das Gefühl haben zu Scheitern und kurz vorm Burnout stehen, weil sie schon so viel Energie in die Bewegung investiert haben. Gleichzeitig ist das aber genau die Phase, in der die Bewegung von der Gesellschaft immer mehr Anerkennung bekommt und sich auf dem Erfolgskurs befindet. Wenn Du gerade das Gefühl hast Dein ganzer Aktivismus sei umsonst und Du nur noch schwarz siehst: hör Dir diese Folge an.

Shep Gordon is a legend in multiple industries. Manager extraordinaire to such acts as Alice Cooper, Blondie, Teddy Pendergrass, Gipsy Kings, Rick James and many others. Shep also was the sole inventor of the celebrity chef, paving the way for names like Emeril Lagasse and Anthony Bourdaine. What many people don't know, is that Shep was also a major horror producer back in the day, and produced a number of classic titles from Wes Craven and John Carpenter including: They Live, Village of the Damned, The People Under the Stairs, Prince of Darkness and Shocker. Above all things, Shep is an extraordinary human being and has a lot to teach the world, particularly those who work in entertainment. Shep first got on my radar with the fantastic documentary from Mike Myers about him called Supermensch. Supermensch is a movie that I rewatch at least 3 times a year - the lessons in it are absolutely golden, and Shep's life story not only uncovers the keys to having a prolific life, but shows you how to do a lot of good along the way. It's a really fantastic movie, and a downright fascinating and hysterical watch. I also highly recommend Shep's autobiography, They Call me Supermensch, which is also loaded with some of the most incredibly actionable  insight I've ever heard on the topics of success, business, entertainment, and life in general. Clearly, I'm a profound fan of Shep, and was very humbled that he took the time to speak to me and answer my questions. I was super nervous during this interview, mostly because Shep really means a great deal to me so this was super exciting. Soo, I'm at a loss for where to even begin recapping the major lessons from this conversation but here are three key takeaways from my conversation with Shep Gordon: Don't wait for history to be made, make it yourself. When managing Alice Cooper, Shep realized early that the only way to break through the noise of the music industry, is to stop waiting around for audiences and record labels to take notice of your act, and instead force them to with a spectacle they cant ignore. Shep became renowned at crafting large & elaborate PR stunts, most notably having a truck with a naked image of Alice Cooper with a python over his genitals, break down in the middle of Picadilly circus. This stunt sold out stadiums and gave Alice a huge presence in England. The learning here is to stop waiting for the powers that be to take notice, and force them to by creating history yourself. Study Joseph Campbell. Shep regularly re-watches the Bill Moyer conversational documentary series with Joseph Campbell (which is on Netflix right now). Multiple people, including George Lucas, cite the work of Joseph Campbell as pricelessly inspirational and insightful. In fact, George Lucas used his writings on the hero's journey and mono-myth archetypes as the foundation for Star Wars. Joseph Campbell teaches students to follow their bliss, and chart their own path towards heroism. Ultimately, Campbell's work is a source of empowerment that comes from centuries of wisdom. These works are a guiding force in Shep's life and therefore something very worth checking out.   Create Win Wins. It's no surprise that the entertainment business is shark infested; loaded with bullies, fast-talkers and schemers who in many cases, are motivated entirely by their own self interest. Across both music and movies, two notoriously cut-throat industries, Shep was the big exception. He was a perpetually nice guy and always did compassionate business and was still extremely successful. That being said, in order to operate in any of these businesses, you do need to have the capacity to be extremely tough and assertive or else you'll be completely eaten alive. Shep, was able to be both a nice guy, and a tough motherfucker, and the key to doing that was ensuring that there was always a win win and that no real blood was ever drawn in any confrontation. In every deal, there is usually a loser and a winner; someone who gets a bargain and someone who gets hung out to dry, at least a little. Shep goes to great lengths to make sure that, even in difficult and complex business dealings, there are always only winners and both sides are having their needs being met tremendously. This is big, and it's very unique to Shep, and it's one of the reasons why everyone in the industry completely and totally adores him. God, there are SO MANY MORE things to learn from Shep, so go see Supermensch, go read Shep's autobiography, and don't forget to subscribe to the Nick Taylor Horror show on Apple Spotify, Apple Podcasts, Stitcher, and everywhere you listen. Thanks again for listening to the Nick Taylor Horror Show.

Aired Tuesday, 11 December 2018, 5:00 PM ESTThe Backbone Campaign Combines the Art of War and the Art of PlayAn Interview with Bill Moyer, Founder of the Backbone Campaign“We have one political party with not enough backbone and another with way too much front-bone.” — Swami BeyondanandaToday’s show is about activism — in a time of reactivism.With so much of the political discourse these days either “pro-Trump” or “anti-Trump” the one common denominator in either conversation is … Trump. As someone who feeds on media attention, he is paradoxically empowered by all the resistance and anti-Trump rhetoric.Which leads to the question … how DOES the body politic express itself when both electoral politics and the mainstream media seems so shut down to non-corporate views? How do we assert our political will in a way that gets noticed? And how do we influence our elected officials to follow when they are unable to lead?Our guest this week Bill Moyer, co-founder of the Backbone Campaign is a master of what he calls “artful activism”designed not just to help the Democratic Party “get some backbone”,but to empower citizens to act strategically and change the “politicalcalculus” — i.e., to change the game from reactive to proactive. When we get ourselves off of the battlefield our opponents have already “fixed” and on to a new playing field,breakthrough can occur.BILL MOYER is a fourth generation Washingtonian who lives with his wife and daughter in the woods of Vashon Island near Seattle. He co-founded the Backbone Campaign and has served as executive director since 2004. A leader in the theory and practice of artful activism, Backbone combines lessons of the performing arts with grand strategic principles from the Art of War to invigorate nonviolent social change movements. Bill and his Backbone colleagues have designed and produced hundreds of creative protests and trained thousands of change agents. They have helped transform mundane demonstrations into cultural happenings with innovative tactics like spotlights to project messages onto buildings, and helped introduce the world to kayaktivism during the sHellNo! campaign to stop Arctic drilling.Bill also directs the Solutionary Rail project to plot a path for the US to transform a broken and dangerous railroad business model into a catalyst for social and environmental solutions that can act as an integral component of a just transition to sustainable society. Bill is proud to provide this strategic tool to bring together unlikely allies in otherwise divisive times.Not only does the “backbone” represent steadfast courage, it also represents the nervous system that potentially unites the body politic to become “upstanding citizens.”If your curious as to how ordinary citizens can act locally — playfully and effectively — to create change at the national level,tune in this Tuesday, December 11th at 2 pm PT / 5 pm ET http://omtimes.com/iom/shows/wiki-politiki-radio-show/ to find out.Or, find us on the Wiki archives on Wednesday: http://wikipolitiki.com/archives/ To find out more about The Backbone Campaign, please go here. https://www.backbonecampaign.org/ Support Wiki Politiki — A Clear Voice In The “Bewilderness”If you LOVE what you hear, and appreciate the mission of Wiki Politiki, “put your money where your mouse is” … Join the “upwising” — join the conversation, and become a Wiki Politiki supporter: http://wikipolitiki.com/join-the-upwising/ Make a contribution in any amount via PayPal (https://tinyurl.com/y8fe9dks)Go ahead, PATRONIZE me!

Did you know that half our carbon emissions in Washington State come from the transportation sector? Half of that amount comes from our own personal cars, but the rest of those emissions come from trucks, trains and ferries. So what kinds of changes COULD we make to reduce our carbon footprint? In this podcast, Steve Johnson and Randal Samstag, board members of Bainbridge Island's Climate & Energy Forum, talk about the work of five local environmental organizations -- Climate Action Bainbridge, EcoAdapt, Sustainable Bainbridge, Friends of Island Power and Citizens Climate Lobby -- that are exploring this very question. Their Forum hosts a monthly series featuring speakers and discussion topics to increase our community's awareness and response. This month, the topic is on the electrification of our transportation system. Steve and Randal talk about what we can do to cut these emissions. For example, they highlight the benefits of buying an electric car and getting our local power from a cleaner, renewable source. They also note work already underway to have more electric buses and ferries. Joining this podcast via Skype to talk about the opportunities to improve our rail system, Bill Moyer, co-author of “Solutionary Rail: A Campaign to Electrify America's Rails While Creating Clean Energy Corridors," offers a vision for what can be done in the United States (see link here). To learn more, you can attend the next Climate & Energy Forum event, the Electrification of Transportation and the Path to a Carbon Free Washington, on Saturday, November 18, from 10:00am-11:30am at Eagle Harbor Congregational Church. Speakers will include Bill Moyer of Solutionary Rail, John Clausen of Kitsap Transit and Matt Von Ruden of the Washington State Ferries.  For more information on the Climate and Energy Forum, please visit: www.bainbridgeislandforum.org.

The science is clear that no new fossil fuel infrastructure can be built. People around the world are taking it upon themselves to stop fossil fuel projects. The Sacred Stone Camp was created by the Lakota/Dakota/Nakota Nations on April 1, 2016 to stop construction of the Dakota Access Pipeline (DAPL), which would carry Bakken oil through four states. The DAPL could contaminate the Missouri River, as well as the land and other aquifers. Construction of the pipeline is destroying sacred sites and wildlife habitat. Matt Remle will speak with us about resistance to the pipeline and what people can do to support the efforts. We must also build alternatives to meet our needs for energy and transportation. Bill Moyer and Steve Chrismer have been working together on a project that they call Solutionary Rail. They envision rebuilding the rail system to run on electricity created through renewable sources to carry goods and passengers. For more information, visit www.ClearingtheFOGRadio.org.

Bill Moyer is cofounder and executive director of the Backbone Campaign. He discussed the kayaktivists who have taken to the water in Seattle to oppose Shell's planned artic drilling. See http://backbonecampaign.org Diane Wittner is the Baltimore-based owner of a new zero waste, all natural, locally-based cleaning powder business Echotopia LLC. She also discusses the campaign to stop the largest trash incinerator in the U.S. from being built in Baltimore.

Guests Bill Moyer, Co-Founder and Executive Director, and Patrick Mazza, Writer and Researcher, Backbone Campaign, speak with Diane Horn about Solutionary Rail, an effort to electrify US rail lines using renewable energy, move freight and passengers to rail, and provide an alternative to the region's railroads becoming a carbon-fuel export conduit to Asian markets.

We spoke with two cultural activists who use arts and culture to educate and empower people to take action in their communities. This follows our conversation last week in which author Rivera Sun described how her novels tell the story of social transformation and educate her readers about nonviolent resistance. Bill Moyer of the Backbone Campaign teaches “Artful Activism” in his community and facilitates direct action training camps throughout the nation. He lectures in nonviolent strategy and tactics. Moyers says, “Our role, as change makers, social movement activists, organizers, and cultural workers is to change the social/political/economic variables and expand the scope of what is politically possible in tune with our principles and aspirations. Simultaneously, we must make politically toxic the world view that we oppose, lessening its appeal, reducing its claim in the territory of the politically possible.” His area of expertise is “Spectacle Actions.” Mic Crenshaw uses Hip Hop to expand the public dialogue about race and class issues in both the United States and Africa. Crenshaw says, “The music is an expression of my creativity but ultimately serves as a tool for a critique on dominant culture that limits and defines the kind of choices folks even imagine under capitalism.” He teaches social justice in Portland, OR, is Executive Director of Education Without Borders, is Political Director of Hip Hop Congress and organizes primarily around housing. He also founded Globalfam to help youth in Africa and organizes the Afrikan Hip Hop Caravan. Visit ClearingtheFOGRadio.org for more information.

In this episode we go back to our roots and give you a glimpse of what happens when we just get together and BS about random topics. Even though there may be some faulty assumptions in our logic sometimes (On a second review I realized the error of my www.prosper.com 100% reserve banking argument) but the discsussions have an important role in our Metamorphosis. The Metamorphosis from the type of people that read, listen and comment on the topics covered in the Crash Course to the type of people that can talk about these topics and teach others as well as overcoming common objections to our arguments. Obviously, we are still in the learning phase so feel free to comment on our discussions. I consider these sessions 'Practice' for those opportunities when I get in front of people who are genuinely interested in hearing what I have to say and I don't want to confuse or bore them. Links Mentioned McAlvany Podcast - Terrific podcast, I highly recommend making this part of your weekly listening (along with Max Keiser). McAlvany might be an offshoot from the Financial Sense Newshour, which for the most part I don't care for, but it is far more insightful and even-handed politically. Bill Moyer - Joe Mancini made mention of this show. You'll have to do some searching for the actual episode, but here is a start.
