Podcast appearances and mentions of carol off

My guest on this episode is Carol Off. Carol is an author, journalist, and broadcaster who spent almost sixteen years co-hosting the multi-award-winning CBC radio program, As It Happens. Before that, she covered news and current affairs in Canada and around the world. Her books include The Lion, The Fox and the Eagle, The Ghosts of Medak Pocket, Bitter Chocolate, and All We Leave Behind, which won the British Columbia National Award for Canadian Non-Fiction. Her most recent book is At a Loss for Words: Conversation in an Age of Rage, published by Random House Canada in 2024. General Roméo Dallaire said that Carol “delivers a thoughtful yet searing examination of the power of words, the necessity of truth, and the existential need for humanity to communicate with care." Carol and I talk about the strangeness of the recent Canadian federal election, about her worry that At A Loss for Words was being overtaken by world events even as she was writing it, and about the trouble she's having getting down to work on her next book—despite already having a deadline to finish it.This podcast is produced and hosted by Nathan Whitlock, in partnership with The Walrus.Music: "simple-hearted thing" by Alex Lukashevsky.

Four decades ago, trade negotiations in North America prompted great trepidation in Canada. IDEAS revisits a 1986 documentary by the CBC's Carol Off exploring a flurry of Canadian nationalism and patriotism brought on by fears that the U.S. was about to absorb Canada — a threat, once again, on many Canadians' minds. 

An orca who famously carried around her dead calf for weeks in 2018 is now repeating that behaviour after the recent death of her newborn calf.In September, Carol Off was back in our studio to speak with Nil about her latest book, “At a Loss for Words: Conversation in an Age of Rage.” In it, the former host of As It Happens looks at six words (freedom, democracy, truth, woke, choice and taxes) and how their meaning has been distorted and politicized. She offers insight on how to reclaim those words -- and what's at risk, if we're unable to do so.

On this edition of The Richard Crouse Show we'll meet multi-award-winning journalist, author and broadcaster Carol Off. For almost 16 years, she co-hosted CBC Radio's flagship current affairs program, As It Happens. As a television journalist, writer and radio host it's estimated she did 25,000 interviews with newsmakers and noticed that as politics became more polarized than ever before, words that used to define civil society were being put to work for completely different political agendas.     In her new book, “At a Loss for Words: Conversation in the Age of Rage,” she analyzes six terms—freedom, democracy, truth, woke, choice and taxes—and how their meanings have been twisted. Then, we meet a guest who began his career as a child actor, appearing in everything from “Back tio the Future II” to Internal Affairs opposite Richard Gere. He became an international star after playing Frodo Baggins in the acclaimed "Lord of the Rings" trilogy. He's Elijah Wood, and his extensive filmography now includes “Bookworm,” an intriguing film about a 12-year-old named Mildred whose life is turned upside down when her mother lands in hospital and estranged, American magician father, Strawn Wise, played by Elijah Wood, comes to look after her. Hoping to entertain the bookish tween, Strawn takes Mildred camping in the notoriously rugged New Zealand wilderness, and the pair embark on the ultimate test of family bonding -- a quest to find the mythological beast known as the Canterbury Panther. Finally, we meet director Tim Fehlbaum. He's an award-winning Swiss filmmaker whose previous films, like “Tides” and “Hell,” focused on post-apocalyptic and science fiction stories. He returns to the real world with “September 5,” a new thriller starring Peter Sarsgaard and Ben Chaplin, and now playing in select theatres, an American sports broadcasting crew finds itself thrust into covering the hostage crisis involving Israeli athletes at the 1972 Munich Olympics.

Our AMA guest today will be a familiar voice to our listeners. Carol Off spent sixteen years co-hosting CBC's As It Happens, after a career as a correspondent reporting from all over the world. The thousands of interviews she's conducted have laid the groundwork for her new book entitled “At a Loss for Words: Conversation in the Age of Rage.” Each chapter is devoted to a politically-charged word - freedom, democracy, truth, woke, choice and taxes. The book delves into how the meaning of each of these words has been weaponized to further drive divisiveness in society. Carol joined us to answer your questions about her new book and the state of polarization in politics.

Language can feel like a battlefield with words meaning different things to different people. Words such as "woke," "freedom," and even "taxes" have fraught definitions depending on whom you ask. Carol Off, former host of CBC Radio's "As it Happens," writes about all this in her new book: "At a Loss for Words: Conversation in an Age of Rage."

Frederick McCarthy Forsyth CBE is an English author and journalist. He was born on August 25, 1938.A former RAF pilot and investigative journalist, created the modern thriller when he wrote The Day of The JackalHe is best known for thrillers like The Day of the Jackal, The Odessa File, The Fourth Protocol, The Dogs of War, The Devil's Alternative, The Fist of God, Icon, The Veteran, Avenger, The Afghan, The Cobra, and The Kill List.Forsyth's books are often on lists of the best-selling books, and more than a dozen of them have been made into movies. By 2006, more than 70 million copies of his books had been sold in more than 30 languages.The Shepherd tells the story of a De Havilland Vampire pilot who is going home on Christmas Eve, 1957. On the way from RAF Celle in northern Germany to RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk, England, his plane loses all of its electricity. He gets lost in fog over the North Sea and is almost out of gas when he runs into a De Havilland Mosquito fighter-bomber that seems to have been sent up to "shepherd" him in.The main themes of the story are how he is guided to a safe landing and how he tries to find the pilot who saved him.Forsyth wrote this original piece as a Christmas present for his first wife Carrie, who had asked him to write her a ghost story. The story was written on Christmas Day, 1974, and came out around the same time the next year. The idea came to the author when he was trying to think of a setting that wasn't a haunted house and saw planes flying overhead. Many people have thought that the references were to old RAF stories. Even though Forsyth is a former RAF pilot and could have heard and changed such a story (whether on purpose or not), no references or personal stories have been given to back up such claims.Since 1979, the story has been told on the Canadian news show As It Happens on CBC Radio One. It is always read by Alan Maitland and is always on the last episode, which is always on or before Christmas Eve. As it Happens had a 50th anniversary special in 2018, and Carol Off, Michael Enright, and Tom Power read lines from The Shepherd to honour the tradition.On December 14, 2014, in London, at St. Clement Danes, the Central Church of the Royal Air Force, actor Nigel Anthony put on an original version of The Shepherd by Amber Barnfather, complete with music and sound effects. Frederick Forsyth opened the show, which raised money for the RAF Benevolent Fund. David Chilton was in charge of the sound, and the Saint Martin Singers sang a cappella pieces.John Travolta confirmed in 2022 that he is making a movie version of The Shepherd right now.Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens AudiobookIf you like my voice and want to support my work, get my narration of this Christmas Classic herehttps://theclassicghoststoriespodcast.bandcamp.com/album/a-christmas-carol-by-charles-dickensNew Patreon RequestBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

Everybody has their own origin story. Whether that was crossing a sea, or moving around Turtle Island, we each have our own beginning that brought us here. So why we do we make anyone feel like an outsider? In her Talk, Carol Off urges us to take a step back and look at where we came from. In this time when we can't get on a plane, travel to see loved ones, or start our next adventure, we can stay connected by sharing stories from different times and different places.

A very merry merry to you all! It's most certainly been a while since our last episode but here we are for the second annual Christmas competition. This year we weren't in the same city (I'm not crying you are) but we still decided to continue the competition theme of last year anyway by each watching a version of A Christmas Carol and trying to guess which each of us watched through description alone.

The UN has proclaimed every June 13th as International Albinism Awareness Day - to bring attention to the rare genetic condition and to the discrimination & voilence that often accompany it. People with albinism - albinos - tend to have little or no pigment in the skin , hair or eyes. We are legally blind and light sensitive and rare. Only one in 20 000 has the condition in North America and Europe; one in 2,000 in Africa. In some parts of the world having albinism can put you in danger of being attacked. In East Africa there is a trade in the body parts of people with albinism— our fingers and toes, and bones and blood, and hair and skin have become commodities on a black market. There is a superstition among the wealthy elites in some parts of the world, that potions made from albino body parts will give them lucky powers. The UN passing this resolution on November 18, 2014 is a shout out to all the people around the world who are by themselves with this condition, and suffering in isolation because its such a rare condition. Thanks to Lois Grant for the audio of my speech and to Carol Off & jeff Douglas at CBC Radio One's As It Happens for the interview
