What can people and organisations learn from science and music? Why should we care? Are there universal mechanisms that are valid all over the world to all human species? Or is everything an individual experience?  Today, we talk with Hauke Egermann, Professor of Systematical Musicology at the University of Cologne. We speak about universal mechanisms that are valid all over the world; we learn from research with an isolated culture in Congo, the Pygmies from Mebenzélé, that refuse to practise negative music and have different songs to regulate their emotions. Songs against fear, anger, or, among others, music to protect hunters in the rainforest. How do they respond to music they have never heard or connected with? What does it evoke, and how does this relate to Canadian Indigenous people and the listening patterns in the Western world?  Hauke also shares the Music Date concert with us, where the audience's emotional reaction is tracked in the first tutti part of a concert to then separate and assign them to eight different mini-concerts around one emotion based on their responses.   Show notes Connect with Hauke: https://musikwissenschaft.phil-fak.uni-koeln.de/en/mitarbeiter-innen/professoren-innen/hauke-egermann  Mentioned paper about universal emotion-related psychophysiological responses: https://www.frontiersin.org/journals/psychology/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2014.01341/full Google scholar profile: https://scholar.google.com/citations?hl=de&user=aSSMPDoAAAAJ&view_op=list_works&sortby=pubdate    Related podcasts:  A love letter to sound with Nina Kraus: https://musicthinking.com/a-love-letter-to-sound-with-nina-kraus/ Standing still with Alexander Refsum Jensenius: https://musicthinking.com/standing-still-with-alexander-refsum-jensenius/

pWotD Episode 2853: Pope Francis Welcome to Popular Wiki of the Day, spotlighting Wikipedia's most visited pages, giving you a peek into what the world is curious about today.With 234,756 views on Saturday, 22 February 2025 our article of the day is Pope Francis.Pope Francis (Latin: Franciscus; Italian: Francesco; Spanish: Francisco; born Jorge Mario Bergoglio; 17 December 1936) is the head of the Catholic Church and sovereign of the Vatican City State. He is the first pope from the Society of Jesus (the Jesuit Order), the first from the Americas and the Southern Hemisphere, and the first born or raised outside Europe since the 8th-century Syrian pope Gregory III.Born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Bergoglio was inspired to join the Jesuits in 1958 after recovering from severe illness. He was ordained a Catholic priest in 1969; from 1973 to 1979, he was the Jesuit provincial superior in Argentina. He became the archbishop of Buenos Aires in 1998 and was created a cardinal in 2001 by Pope John Paul II. He led the Argentine Church during the December 2001 riots in Argentina; the administrations of Néstor Kirchner and Cristina Fernández de Kirchner considered him to be a political rival.Following the resignation of Pope Benedict XVI on 28 February 2013, a papal conclave elected Bergoglio as his successor on 13 March. He chose Francis as his papal name in honour of Saint Francis of Assisi. Throughout his public life, Francis has been noted for his humility, emphasis on God's mercy, international visibility as pope, concern for the poor and commitment to interreligious dialogue. He is known for having a less formal approach to the papacy than his predecessors by, for instance, choosing to reside in the Domus Sanctae Marthae guest house rather than in the papal apartments of the Apostolic Palace used by previous popes.Francis has made women full members of dicasteries in the Roman Curia. He maintains that the Catholic Church should be more sympathetic toward members of the LGBTQ+ community and has stated that while blessings of same-sex unions are not permitted, the individuals can be blessed as long as blessings are not given in a liturgical context. Francis is a critic of unbridled capitalism, consumerism, and overdevelopment; he has made action on climate change a leading focus of his papacy. He is widely interpreted as denouncing the death penalty as intrinsically evil, stating that the Catholic Church is committed to its abolition. In international diplomacy, Francis has criticized the rise of right-wing populism, called for the decriminalization of homosexuality, helped to restore full diplomatic relations between the United States and Cuba, negotiated a deal with China to define how much influence the Communist Party has in appointing Chinese bishops, and has supported the cause of refugees. He has called on the Western world to increase immigration levels significantly. In 2022, he apologized for the Church's role in the "cultural genocide" of the Canadian Indigenous peoples. On 4 October 2023, Francis convened the beginnings of the Synod on Synodality which was described as the culmination of his papacy and the most important event in the Catholic Church since the Second Vatican Council.This recording reflects the Wikipedia text as of 02:08 UTC on Sunday, 23 February 2025.For the full current version of the article, see Pope Francis on Wikipedia.This podcast uses content from Wikipedia under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike License.Visit our archives at wikioftheday.com and subscribe to stay updated on new episodes.Follow us on Mastodon at @wikioftheday@masto.ai.Also check out Curmudgeon's Corner, a current events podcast.Until next time, I'm neural Joey.

In this New Music Friday episode, we speak with Canadian Indigenous singer/songwriter Adrian Sutherland.  We discuss his musical journey and his latest album Precious Diamonds.

Host Matt LeMay recently got to spend time filming a documentary with an amazing group of Métis musicians as they were recording an album of new and traditional songs at the Tragically Hip's Bathouse studio, just outside Kingston, Ontario. Among the musicians there were two of the most in demand fiddlers right now and our guests on this episode:Alicia Blore is Toronto based, with roots in Manitoba. She played at the most recent swearing in of Prime Minister Trudeau and his cabinet, and was part of the live tribute to fiddle master John Arcand at Batoche in 2023, among her many other accomplishments. Brianna Lizotte is from Alberta and also a John Arcand protogé. Last year she played for Pope Francis at the Vatican during the visit of Canadian Indigenous groups seeking an apology from the pope for the harm inflicted on children at church run Residential schools. Bathouse studio is a lovely old 19th century Inn on Lake Ontario. Stone walls, hardwood floors covered in persian carpets, and a studio jam-packed with decades of Hip memorabilia. In that environment, working with the Tragically Hip engineer Niles Spencer, the music just flowed.At the end of the second day of recording, LeMay sat down with Lizotte and Blore in the Hips cozy upstairs rehearsal studio to talk about where Métis fiddling came from, where it is today and where it's headed.Many of the songs you'll hear in this episode were performed by Blore and Lizotte along with fellow Métis musicians Alyssa Delbaere-Sawchuk, Danton Delbaere-Sawchuk and Liam Blore For more on the work of the MNC, visit metisnation.ca

Award-winning Queer Indie filmmaker Quentin Lee just released his latest feature THE LAST SUMMER OF NATHAN LEE promising to take audiences on an emotional journey. The film which explores the story of a Chinese American teenager who finds out that he has brain cancer right before he turns 18. THE LAST SUMMER OF NATHAN LEE is a compelling narrative that delves into the life of Nathan Lee played by Harrison Xu (Bloodhounds/Netflix), a Chinese American teenager on the cusp of adulthood. Just days before his 18th birthday, Nathan is confronted with the harsh reality of a brain cancer diagnosis. Faced with a limited amount of time, he makes a life-altering decision to live each day with an unmatched zeal for life while also refusing to die a virgin. Knowing that his gay best friend, Dash (Matthew Mitchell Espinosa), wants to become a filmmaker, Nathan offers himself as a documentary subject to Dash, who also happens to be in love with Nathan. Nathan and Dash decide to document as much of his remaining life as possible. Without reservation, Nathan experiments sexually and falls in love with Lorelei played by Natasha Tina Liu (Here and Now/HBO), another high school friend. As Nathan realizes he cannot reciprocate Dash's true love, he decides to marry Dash, a Dreamer Immigrant, and gifts him an American citizenship. Quentin Lee - “Growing up in the 80s, I loved teen movies from that era which unfortunately not only have no Asian Pacific Islander characters but sometimes even have racist stereotypes like Long Duk Dong from Sixteen Candles, traumatizing API teens of my generation,” said Director Quentin Lee. “Even to this day, the dearth of API teen movies has inspired me to create Last Summer of Nathan Lee that not only reflect but is made for today's generation of BIPOC teens in North America. I hope it can be a Pretty in Pink that my own son, now only 7, will grow up to watch as a teenager in the future.” Quentin Lee is the winner of the 2020 Roddenberry Foundation Impact Awards for TV creators, a member of the Producers Guild of America, Canadian Media Producers Association and Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (Directors and Producers Peer Group), Quentin Lee is a multimedia creator and has directed and produced over ten feature films and three TV series. His first feature Shopping For Fangs (co-directed with Justin Lin) premiered at Toronto International Film Festival and became a cult classic as part of the Asian American New Wave Class of 1997. As a creator, he is currently developing Rez Comedy, the first Canadian Indigenous stand-up comedy TV series.

Having female role models in different fields and positions of power can increase representation and diversity. When women see other women in leadership roles, they are more likely to believe that they too can achieve those positions. This is why I'm so pleased to have Senator Gigi Osler join me today to discuss her new role in Canada's senate, and how she is managing her other roles as and internationally renowned surgeon and assistant professor. Wedding season is here, and finding the perfect venue is top of mind for many would be brides and grooms. Thankfully Angela Risi from The Doctor's House, one of Canada's top wedding venues, is here to share her top tips on choosing the perfect location for your wedding day. Anne Brodie is in and we jump right into Season 3 of Ted Lasso, which we're both thrilled to see the return of, plus a look at the sweet comedy-drama I Like Movies based on the experiences of filmmaker Chandler Levack who worked at Blockbuster and Cheryl Fennell and April Allen join me to share details about Proudly Indigenous Crafts and Designs, a trusted and secure e-commerce platform that celebrates and showcases Canadian Indigenous fashion designers and artists that create authentic, high-quality, hand-crafted seal fur and leather products, such as accessories, footwear, clothing and home décor. At a time when corporate greed is running amok, it's nice to know that socially conscious businesses that give back to their communities still exist. That's why I know you'll want to hear more about Love is Warm, the first socially conscious winter coat company. Founder Jordan Britton joins me to share more about this company that provides one coat to a Canadian in need for every coat purchased. Finally, we're closing out this week's show with Surrey BC native Alexis Lynn, an Indigenous singer-songwriter who crafts deceptively sweet pop anthems that never shy away from her ethos of honesty and empowerment. She is here to discuss her latest album and share the single Something to Prove with us.

Hosts Gregg Tilston and Karim Kanji welcome superstar Crystal Shawanda to the studio. Born in Wikwemikong First Nation, on Manitoulin Island, in Northern Ontario, Crystal was introduced to the blues by her eldest brother and to old-time country by her parents. “I was also into other styles of music that led me to the blues,” she says, citing everything from Elvis Presley's “Hound Dog,” written by Big Mama Thornton, to R&B-pop star Monica's “Misty Blue,” by Dorothy Moore. “I was one of those kids who read the liner notes,” Crystal says. “I wanted to know everything, who are the songwriters, the musicians, the producers, the engineers. I'm always wanting to know who are the originators, who are the mothers of invention, who inspired all of us? I'm a purist at heart, so I was always diving back to learn from the masters, like Etta James, as far as vocalists; Muddy Waters, as far as feeling; and Buddy Guy, as far as stylists who have a lot of swagger.” And yet Crystal's first foray as a professional singer was in country music, not blues. She was in her early 20s and had immediate success after signing a U.S. record deal with RCA Nashville. 2008's Dawn of a New Day, featuring the single “You Can Let Go,” reached No. 1 on the Canadian Country Album chart and No. 16 on the Billboard Top Country Albums, the highest charting album by a full-blooded Canadian Indigenous country artist (in the SoundScan-era).

This week the Pope is on an official apology tour through Canada, as the Catholic church has formally admitted to wrongdoings against the Canadian Indigenous communities. Specifically he is addressing the atrocities committed at residential schools over the past century and a half. As well this week Russia has formally withdrawn from the International Space Station (ISS) which will come into effect some time in 2024. What will this mean for global relationships and how will this impact scientific discovery and research opportunities in the future?

We're delighted to be tackling a new queer Canadian Indigenous film with Bretten Hannam's Wildhood (2021).Featuring great teen performances and picturesque Nova Scotia landscapes, this road trip movie about a pair of two-spirited Mi'kmaw boys is beautifully shot by cinematographer Guy Godfree (Giant Little Ones).

We're proud to honour National Indigenous Peoples Day with an in-depth conversation with Métis composer Ian Cusson and Vancouver Opera's Ashley Daniel Foot. In a wide ranging conversation, Ian talks about the ways his Metis and French Canadian descent intersect with his music, the meanings of story, and the power of music to bring about societal change. We also play an excerpt from his opera, Fantasma (more details here) and a selection from his Where there's a Wall song cycle. Ian Cusson is a composer of art song, opera and orchestral work. Of Métis (Georgian Bay Métis Community) and French Canadian descent, his work explores Canadian Indigenous experience including the history of the Métis people, the hybridity of mixed-racial identity, and the intersection of Western and Indigenous cultures.

Roger Boyer II, PhD, is an American citizen, Canadian citizen, and a citizen of the Anishinabek Nation, which is an Indigenous nation of 1.7 million people that stretches across parts of Canada and the American Midwest. In addition to his work in Indigenous healthcare as a director of comprehensive primary care, and involvement in other numerous healthcare improvement initiatives, Roger is the leader of CF Indigenous, a project aimed at cultivating a community of Indigenous CrossFit athletes. Canadian Indigenous suffer from chronic disease at rates far higher than the national average, and Roger himself was once in danger of becoming part of this statistic.  In 2017, he weighed nearly 400 lbs and was prediabetic and prehypertensive. Since starting CrossFit, Roger has lost over 150 lbs and seen numerous health improvements.  He believes CrossFit can be a catalyst for positive change within Indigenous communities, and through CF Indigenous he hopes to make CrossFit more accessible to other potential CrossFit athletes and coaches.

A daily news briefing from Catholic News Agency, powered by artificial intelligence. Ask your smart speaker to play “Catholic News,” or listen every morning wherever you get podcasts. www.catholicnewsagency.com - Pope Francis says he will travel to Canada in the summer, possibly for the feast of St. Anne on July 26. The pope made the announcement during a meeting with Canadian Indigenous leaders at the Vatican on April 1, marking the conclusion of a week-long visit of representatives of the Métis, Inuit, and First Nations peoples to the Vatican. During the week, Pope Francis held private meetings with each group, and expressed his “sorrow and shame” for the role Catholics have played in the abuse of Indigenous peoples in Canada, especially in residential schools. He condemned the colonization which broke the Indigenous peoples away from their native land and ways of life. catholicnewsagency.com/news/250856/pope-francis-to-visit-indigenous-in-canada-in-july https://www.catholicnewsagency.com/news/250857/pope-francis-expresses-sorrow-and-shame-for-catholic-role-in-abuse-against-indigenous-peoples The Catholic bishops of Arizona this week expressed gratitude at the passage of a 15 week abortion ban in the state, saying it will help to protect women and their unborn children. The bill, which Republican Governor Doug Ducey signed into law March 30, prohibits abortions after 15 weeks except in medical emergencies affecting the life and health of the mother. The measure is not currently enforceable because of the U.S. Supreme Court's ruling in Roe v. Wade, but could be allowed to come into effect depending on the outcome of Dobbs v.

“Youth living in remote Indigenous communities deserve the same choices as every other Canadian. We believe our connection and sharing #WeSeeYou with these youth helps them believe in more than just words in a text book.” -Dwight BallantyneDwight Ballantyne grew up in Montreal Lake Cree Nation, a remote north Saskatchewan First Nation, until the age of 21. He always felt like he was invisible to the rest of the world. When a once in a lifetime opportunity to move to BC presented itself in 2016, he took a leap of faith and left everything he knew behind.  Upon adjusting to his new lifestyle, he realized that many of the new people he met did not even know what a reserve was. This realization instilled a desire to find a way to bridge the gap between remote Indigenous communities and the rest of Canada.  In 2019, Dwight founded The Ballantyne Project with the goal of raising awareness about what it was like to grow up in a remote First Nation.As part of this goal, Dwight has created three unique and impactful presentations sharing Canadian Indigenous history and the challenges and barriers that he faced growing up.  He is in the extremely rare position to offer his audience an opportunity to understand a segment of Canada's population that rarely makes it into textbooks, popular media or social conversation. Since January 2020, thousands of students have attended Dwight's live presentations.  He offers these presentations at School District Professional Days and at other organizations who seek to gain a deeper understanding of Canada's history that currently affects youth and young adults living in remote First Nations today.Follow Dwight:Website: www.theballantyneproject.comInstagram: @theballantyneproject FacebookYouTubeSheila's Resources:Connect to your purpose and elevate your wellness:Online Wellness Programs: http://www.sheilabotelho.comEat better - Feel Better: Healthy Eating RefresherInstagram: @sheilaabotelhoRate, Review & Subscribe on Apple Podcasts:https://podcasts.apple.com/ca/podcast/connect-with-sheila-botelho/id1527363160“I love what Sheila and her guests share on The Connect Podcast.”*This interview is for educational purposes only and doesn't necessarily represent the practices of the host.

Host of The Grimerica Show and Author of A Canadian Shame, to discuss how the poor treatment of his people by the Canadian gov. actually happens.

After discussing journalist/activist/author Hutchinson's book several times, we finally decided to check it out for the pod. It's definitely aimed at a younger audience, but the book is doing a surprising amount of work to educate its audience about pressing contemporary Indigenous issues.Up for discussion: the book's casual indifference to its central mystery, how white characters are stereotyped, the multiplicity of points of view within the Indigenous community, the importance of First Nation teachings and why this location feels unique and different from our other (Canadian) Indigenous texts. Wanna connect with the show?

For this episode of #BlackExcellence iHeartRadio's Jamar McNiel highlights just some of the reasons why Alicia Keys is #BlackExcellence.  Keys started playing piano at age six and studied classical music and jazz. Her exposure to the music of Billie Holiday Ella Fitzgeral and Thelonius Monk as well as Mozart, Beethoven and Chopin explain her signature style of fusing the classical sound with Black Swag.  She wrote her first song at the age of 12 on the piano and shortly after She signed a record deal at 15.  She had a rough start in her professional career. Creative disputes about her songs her look, her hair and her overall presentation made things difficult for her during her relationship with record label. She was able to get attention from the one and only Clive Davis who brought her over to his new label J Records where he allowed her to have creative control of her music and her likeness. Without that support, we might not have gotten the Alicia Keys with her urban wear and her signature Corn rows that let us know that this classic piano virtuoso was keeping it ALL THE WAY REAL At 20, she released her debut album Songs in A Minor. It's one of my fav albums. A combo of Soul, Classical Piano, Neo Soul and BoomBap east coast hip hop. She'd been working on it since she was only 14. It debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and earned Keys five Grammy Awards, including Song of the Year for “Fallin' Keys co-founded Keep a Child Alive, a non-profit organization that supports families with HIV and AIDS in Africa and India. In 2017, she was named  by Amnesty International, an award that also went to Canadian Indigenous rights activists. Alicia Keys over came her rough environment of Hell's Kitchen Manhattan and the tough pressures of the corporate recording industry to be given titles like, Artist of the decade, one of the 100 Greatest Women in Music, 100 most influential people in the world to name a few.  Check back for more #BlackExcellence​​ videos throughout #BlackHistoryMonth​​ CREDITS: Research By Jamar McNeil, John R.

Her name was Olivia Poole and in 1957, after some prodding from her oldest son, she patented what was then called the "Baby Supporter and Exerciser".

This is an episode about linguistic injustice in the healthcare industry. We talk about how hard it can be for people to listen when they don't understand and how this can create urgent oversights, and we list some (disturbing) cases of intercultural communication in the medical setting that have led to devastating losses.REFERENCES Boochani, B.

Welcome to Nooks and Crannies! Sidebars: Paul Wheel III the Good Person asks Matty about the Canadian Indigenous Experience or Why he looks like a Prius Driving Vegan? :::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: **Sorry for the unexpected hiatus, ol Matty’s noggin fully gave out a couple 3 weeks ago, then a bunch in between. We/I am back now, thanks for staying subscribed** This is part 2 of our new recurring episode series: Politically Checking in with Good Person Paul, our now 3rd co-host.

So…meaty! I have a good friend who is Métis and works in the health field, have wanted to have her on since we started the show, maybe just maybe I left room for her to expound and correct, maybe that’s why this topic came up, or maybe its coincidence or more likely the parallels are there and glaring! IDK After that heaviness, Paul lightens things up by talking about the weight he lost, and how his new approach to “wellness living” has inspired his much better half to join him in climbing a former Confederate battle ground, 4 times a week, and it seems like they don’t even fight about it at all! Proud of you Amanda, but Paul is way more proud :-) Keep being inspirational you two!! Still waiting for those tamales you were supposed to mail up here…disappointed for sure Amanda :-( Be Well, Strength and Solidarity, and Aren’t we Lucky?

Our guests this week haven't always seen eye to eye when looking at a river delta that acts as a breeding ground for massive numbers of wildlife and waterfowl. Gary Carriere lives in a community that relies on the Saskatchewan River Delta for its culture and livelihood. Graham Strickert, Assistant Professor in the School of Environment and Sustainability at the University of Saskatchewan, studies it. Host Jay Famiglietti navigates the waters with these two men as they explain how they came to see eye to eye. They also get into why this delta is troubled, and how they are melding science with real-world solutions for a Canadian Indigenous community.

Climate change is more than an “issue.” According to renowned author and activist Naomi Klein, “It’s a civilizational wake-up call delivered in the language of fires, floods, storms and droughts.” She says it demands that we challenge the dominant economic policies of deregulated capitalism and bottomless resource extraction. She describes the transnational Blockadia movement that’s opposing fossil fuels and warns about geo-engineering fantasies. Canadian Indigenous leader Clayton Thomas-Muller of Idle No More reports from the front lines of the Native-led rights based movement to stop the drilling of the Canadian Tar Sands.
