Send us a textThis might be the most fun episode we ever produced. As we look back at George H. W. Bush , Pro wrestling fan. With the help of Charleston Post and Courier articles written by their star reporter Mike Mooneyham, we will examine the Bush connection to the world of Professional wrestling and especially his fondness for wrestling's greatest athlete, "The Nature Boy" Ric Flair. We will hear about Bush's friendship with promoter Paul Boesch, his lifelong connection to "Chief" Ed "Wahoo" McDaniel, and his later friendship with "The Big Cat" Ernie Ladd. We will also hit the trail , in 1992, on the whistlestop tour that took George Bush through the Carolinas, with the biggest sports star of them all, Ric Flair. It was at a rally in Spartanburg S.C. where our Host, Randal Wallace, was able to maneuver himself up near the front with a little help from Martha Bishop, the sister of our Senator Strom Thurmond, so he would be nearly front row for the rally at the Train Depot, that would feature not only the President, but Governor Carrol Campbell, Lieutenant Governor Bob Peeler, Senator Strom Thurmond, Congressional Candidate Bob Inglis, and our host's childhood sports hero, Ric Flair. To this day, as you will hear, it remains Wallace's favorite memory of any in his over 45 years in politics. Unfortunately, we couldn't find any footage from the Spartanburg rally, but we do have some examples of George Bush out on his 1992 whistle-stop tour, and we do have some later moments from the 2008 Presidential campaign where Ric Flair would return to the trail to campaign for Arkansas Governor Mike Huckabee. It was at the event for Huckabee in Myrtle Beach that our host again became the focus of attention as he stood with a folder full of wrestling magazines hoping to get them autographed by Ric Flair, at the Huckabee rally, while serving as the Rudy Giuliani Horry County Chairman. It made the news, in two articles in the Sun News political blog Poli-tick-Tock. We will look back at that blog too, and feature the Columbia Mike Huckabee Rally with Chuck Norris and Ric Flair. As you will hear, Hulk Hogan and Donald Trump were actually not the first Pro wrestler and President to headline a Presidential campaign event!!  Questions or comments at , Randalrgw1@aol.com , https://twitter.com/randal_wallace , and http://www.randalwallace.com/Please Leave us a review at wherever you get your podcastsThanks for listening!!

Reporting on the news publishing industry's fight for survival amid circulation and advertising revenue declines has been focusing more and more on the continuing closure of news outlets, propagating "news deserts," and the downsizing of newsrooms creating "ghost papers." However, some media companies are finding opportunities during these troubling times by exploring underserved communities' need for local journalism and utilizing current resources to enter these markets with news brands that are finding new audiences and revenues. Recently, E&P reported on the Charleston Post and Courier's statewide expansion into new South Carolina markets, where existing newspaper newsrooms had been downsized so much that these communities welcomed and embraced the new brands. Now, similar expansion is taking place in Louisiana as Georges Media Group, the state's largest news publisher and owners of The Times-Picayune | NOLA.com, The Advocate, Gambit and the Acadiana Advocate, have launched the Shreveport-Bossier City Advocate, a brand new, digital-only news operation in the state's third largest metropolitan area. “We were sending reporters up to Shreveport and kept hearing ‘there's no local reporting of any size, in that market,” stated Judi Terzotis, Publisher of Georges Media Group. "We went on a three-month 'listening tour,' and what we heard was almost jaw-dropping. 'Where do you get your news?' we would ask, and they would literally say, 'There's this guy on Facebook, and he sometimes goes to City Council." In their July 2023 announcement, the new managing editor Barbara Leader stated, "Shreveport-Bossier is a metro area that is hungry for local news coverage. I'm eager to lead and be part of this group of journalists dedicated to telling stories of the area's arts and culture, business, education, and health care community, as well as crime and local government.” During this interview with E&P Publisher Mike Blinder, Terzotis admitted, "During our pre-launch 'listening tour,' we were very explicit that we want to bring a 10-person newsroom to Shreveport." She continued to explain that they then asked civic leaders and large business owners to "come to the table" and contribute to make it happen. Terzotis stated that the original goal was to raise $1.5 million in donations for the first three years, and they have reached to date over $500,000. In this episode of E&P Reports, we chat with Judi Terzotis, the publisher of Georges Media Group, Louisiana's largest local news media company and owners of the New Orleans' Times-Picayune | NOLA.com about their expansion into the state's third largest metro area with the newly launched, digital-only Shreveport-Bossier City Advocate. Also appearing in the interview to explain more about why this new investment fits into their business model and how the news outlet will serve the community are Georges Media Group President Kevin Hall and the new Managing Editor of the Shreveport-Bossier Advocate Barbara Leader.

There's no question that Evening Post Publishing, owners of the Charleston Post and Courier (P&C), have been expanding their commitment to local journalism, while other media companies publishing in South Carolina have been downsizing their newsrooms. E&P initially reported in July of 2020 that the P&C had opened news operations in Greenville, where Gannett owned the legacy title, and in Myrtle Beach, a  McClatchy market. And again, in June of 2022, E&P published a feature story on how even though 10 South Carolina newspapers had already shut down during a global pandemic, the Post & Courier had launched their "Uncovered" project, adding and assigning journalists to different state regions to cover. But recently, as Executive Editor Autumn Phillips stated, "The Post and Courier has gone all-in by strategically expanding from a core market publication to a statewide newsroom. In each new community, we've incubated different models to identify the combination of funding and beat approaches that would lead to a long-term sustainable business and address growing news deserts in South Carolina.” An example of this expansion is now in Florence, where Lee Enterprises owns the local newspaper. Here the P&C partnered with Francis Marion University to create a learning newsroom funded by donors and digital subscriptions. With these monies, the market is being served by an editor, a publisher, three reporters and six interns. In total, The Post and Courier has added 27 new reporters working in Columbia, Rock Hill, and Hilton Head (McClatchy markets) and across three other newsrooms as part of this statewide expansion. Phillips stated: "These investments were made with the belief that in-depth reporting in markets hungry for local news will grow digital subscriptions to a level by 2025 that will fully fund the statewide news organization.” In this 181st episode of E&P Reports, we “look under the hood” at the Charleston Post and Courier's tailor-made, market-by-market, statewide expansion and why, while others are downsizing, they are finding innovative ways to provide quality local journalism throughout South Carolina. Appearing on this broadcast are P&C Executive Editor Autumn Phillips and Chief Opportunity & Marketing Officer Chris Zoeller, along with PJ Browning, president newspaper division at Evening Post Publishing.

Gene Sapakoff from the Charleston Post & Courier, joins the show to talk about Clemson and the dominance of South Carolina football teams.

Ben Traywick is a Charleston lawyer who weighs in on the emerging topic of universities and susceptibility to lawsuits from athletes as they press forward with sports. While prominent sports attorney Tom Mars has sounded dire warnings about the "Death Star" of plaintiffs attorneys bringing the ACC, SEC and Big 12 to their knees with lawsuits, Traywick is skeptical of such a scenario for a variety of reasons. Dan Hope formerly covered Clemson Football for the Anderson Independent-Mail before moving to Columbus, Ohio to cover the Buckeyes for the website Eleven Warriors. He shares his perceptions of the fallout from the Big Ten canceling fall football and provides a window into the anger of fans who will have nothing to cheer for this fall. He also shares what it's like to be a sportswriter with no games to cover for at least the next several months. Aaron Brenner covered Clemson for The (Charleston) Post and Courier before leaving the journalism industry for a career as a mortgage broker in Denver. He reflects on the factors that led him to change course, and he looks from afar at the state of college sports, social media and Clemson football.    

What will South Carolina bring to the table in 2020, a move back up the standings, or the kind of season that would lead to a coaching change in less uncertain times?

Keith Gill, Sun Belt Commissioner and Gene Sapakoff, Charleston Post and Courier joins the show to provide differing angles of the college football return and the hurdles they are seeing in their findings.

In the second part of my interview with Renee Dudley from ProPublica, we delve into the cyber insurance and ransomware incident response industries, including how some of these companies are being less than forthcoming about their services. In fact, it appears that several "incident response" companies are simply paying the ransom and then charging companies a fee on top of that. We'll talk about how cyber insurance works and how to decide whether or not it's for you. And Renee will also give us some tips on choosing an incident response firm and what red flags to watch out for. Renee Dudley is a tech reporter at ProPublica. Before joining ProPublica in 2018, she was a member of the enterprise team at Reuters, where she reported extensively on issues with college-entrance exams. Before joining Reuters in 2015, she worked as a reporter in New York for Bloomberg News and in South Carolina for The (Charleston) Post and Courier and The (Hilton Head) Island Packet. At Bloomberg, she uncovered questionable accounting and unauthorized sales practices at Walmart Inc. In Charleston, her reporting led to the indictment and resignation of South Carolina’s most powerful politician. She received the Society of Professional Journalists’ Pulliam Award in 2010 for her work upholding First Amendment rights while reporting for The Island Packet.

Unless you've been living under a rock, you know that ransomware is one of the most common and most lucrative cybersecurity rackets today. But despite all the press, ransomware is massively under-reported because companies don't want bad press. And in most cases, unless it can be proven that data was actually stolen, companies are under no legal obligation to inform the data subjects (you) of these hacks. In part one of my interview with Renee Dudley from ProPublica, we'll discuss the current state of the ransomware problem and the emergence of cyber insurance and incident response companies to deal with the threat and recover from attacks. And we'll also see that not all players are above board about what they do. Renee Dudley is a tech reporter at ProPublica.

Evening Post Publishing, parent company of the Charleston (S.C.) Post and Courier, is investing in new markets, starting with Greenville and Myrtle Beach, S.C. The newspaper will hire and station reporters and editors in both markets to cover news as it occurs--direct from the source in two markets who already have daily newspapers owned by Gannett (Greenville) and McClatchy (Myrtle Beach). With papers already in place in Columbia (the state capitol) and Aiken, does this mean that the Post and Courier could become the statewide newspaper for South Carolina, and how smart is this move when the economy and industry as a whole are both in such a flux? Mike Blinder, publisher of E&P, goes one on one with SVP of Evening Post Publishing P.J. Browning and chief revenue/marketing officer Chris Zoeller to ask these questions and learn more about this new expansion.

More calls, plus Gene Sapakoff of the Charleston Post and Courier.

Adam and Zach are joined by Hanna Raskin, chief critic and food editor for the Charleston Post & Courier, to discuss why it is that restaurant reviews don't devote much space to beverage programs and the people who run them. Prompted by Zach's Twitter conversation with Pete Wells of the New York Times, Adam and Zach explore why specialty publications like VinePair might be better suited for the task then traditional restaurant reviews.

David Cloninger of The Charleston Post & Courier

In June 2015, Dylann Roof, a 21-year old white supremacist from North Carolina, drove to Emanuel African Methodist Episcopal Church in Charleston, South Carolina and committed one of the most shocking mass murders in American history. After entering the church, Roof asked to see the Rev. Clementa Pinckney, the church's pastor, and then joined a Bible study with members of the congregation. They welcomed him. But Roof pulled out a pistol and started shooting. He killed nine of our Christian brothers and sisters in cold blood, leaving another alive to tell everyone what had happened. He was hunted down and captured, and eventually was convicted of numerous state and federal charges. Roof currently awaits death by lethal injection. What many found as shocking as the killings themselves was the reaction to Roof by many of the victims' families. At this year's Wilberforce Weekend, Christian film maker Brian Ivie told us how he had heard about the Emanuel AME shooting while on his honeymoon in Mexico. One morning, while he was out on the balcony, Brian heard his wife, Amanda, sobbing inside. “Nine people just got shot in their Bible study,” she said, “in Charleston, South Carolina.” And then she went on to describe the massacre. Brian was stunned. “Then she looked at me again,” he relates, and said, “You don't understand. They're forgiving him. The family members are forgiving the murderer in court.” On her laptop, Amanda had watched, stunned like so many of us, Nadine Collier, the daughter of Ethel Lance, tell Roof: “I will never be able to hold her again, but I forgive you and have mercy on your soul. You hurt me. You hurt a lot of people, but God forgives you, and I forgive you.” Then Anthony Thompson, husband of Myra Thompson, told Roof, “I forgive you, and my family forgives you. But we would like you to take this opportunity to repent. Change your ways.” Brian Ivie told his new bride, “I hope whoever tells that story one day does not skip [the forgiveness]. Because I think God just showed up.” As it turns out, Ivie's prayer was answered, because he is the one who has been tasked with telling this amazing story of tragedy, suffering, forgiveness, and hope, in his new documentary called, “Emanuel: The Untold Story of the Victims and Survivors of the Charleston Church Shooting.” It will be in theaters next week, June 17 and 19 only. You need to see this film. Brian, whom you might remember from his first film, “The Dropbox,” has done something special here. Yes, the cinematography is beautiful, and the music is excellent. But more than that, Brian Ivie has managed to tell the story by getting out of its way: the racial history of Charleston, the sacredness of a Bible study violated, the criticism that family members received for offering forgiveness, the overall cultural tension already present when this evil act was perpetrated, and how, in the end, forgiveness has the final word. What sets this documentary about Emanuel Church apart, as Ivie told the Charleston Post and Courier, is “the theological understanding of where forgiveness comes from. And that is the cross of Christ.” I urge you to gather friends and family, believers and unbelievers alike, and go see this film “Emanuel.” Again, it's playing only on June 17 and 19 in theaters all across America. And by the way, Steph Curry (yes, that Steph Curry, the basketball player) and Viola Davis (yes, that Viola Davis, the actress) are the executive producers of the film. They believe in this film and so do I. Find out where it is airing at EmanuelMovie.com. And you can also hear Brian Ivie's terrific presentation from the Wilberforce Weekend where he tells the story of the film. It was appropriately titled “Can Christianity Answer Tragedy” and is on the BreakPoint Podcast right now. You can find it at BreakPoint.org or wherever you download podcasts.

Dr. Amanda Quist takes us through a typical warm-up for the Westminster Choir College freshman choir. You’ll learn how, in just 5-7 minutes, she addresses the building blocks of great sound. Plus, you’ll take some fun detours into topics like cell phone policy and how to classify voices. Listen: Highlight to Tweet: “You need to have 3 ways to solve any problem” - Amanda Quist Show Notes: Amanda directs the (compulsory) freshman choir at WCC, so she is first director students meet. Her goal is to take a group of unfamiliar singers with widely-varying levels of experience and make a unison sound. Day 1: sing and build community (students see how they are connected); talk about music they love, their major, who they are; start with voice building - 5-7 minute warm up; next do something physical Low energy? Have them move...step-touches, or something fast-paced like a call and response. Buy in is tougher for the students without choir experience. Knowing the reason behind the exercises helps them buy in. No cell phone use in rehearsal, no tolerance. Breath - long exhalations on different sounds; must warm up breath, it’s connected to mindfulness Tone - balance between light and dark (chiaroscuro) Intonation - clear and resonant, with clear overtones; begin building triads; build their ears with solfege scales, scales in different modes Sight-reading is the most crucial skill for incoming freshmen to have. 3 Key Takeaways: Go into rehearsal with a plan, but be willing to change it when you assess the energy level of the students. The fundamentals are crucial and should be practiced every rehearsal: voice-building, breath, tone, intonation. The most valuable skill a high school director can give their students is the ability to sight-read. Resources/links Mentioned: Episode 7: Your Students are Worth the Investment, with Dr. Amanda Quist Bio: Dr. Amanda Quist is Associate Professor of Conducting at Westminster Choir College, where she conducts the Chapel Choir, Westminster Kantorei, and teaches graduate and undergraduate conducting.

Dr. Quist recently served as Chorus Master for the North American premiere of Toshio Hosokawa’s Matsukaze for Spoleto Festival USA and the Lincoln Center Festival. The New York Times and Charleston Post and Courier reviews described the chorus’ performance as “beautifully prepared,” “gripping,” with a “gossamer web of voices,” and “bridging the vocal and instrumental textures with perfect intonation.” Dr. Quist is Director of the Westminster Vocal Institute, and she was previously Director of Choral Activities at San José State University. She was selected to be the 2014 recipient of Westminster of Rider University’s Distinguished Teaching Award, and other honors include the prestigious James Mulholland National Choral Fellowship and the Audrey Davidson Early Music Award.
