I don't actually watch a lot of TV but I do love an entertaining , well written and produced show. I'm not sure how I stumbled upon White Lotus but it would be one of my top picks for a  ‘must see', they take chances.  It has smart humor, and more over some of the most original, accessible, and inviting music on television. The composer behind the score is Chilean-Canadian film  composer Cristobal Tapia de Veer or as I have come to know him ‘Christo' Christo is not what you think of as a typical film composer… what I mean is that he is an experimenter, creating sounds from nothing , combining textures, defining rhythms and finally happily marrying them to picture doing more than creating an ambiance.  Christo's music helps to define the scene or cue, it helps to breathe life into it.Visit GIG with Mike Redman @https://www.gigwithmikeredman.com/podcastsEmail me questions, guests you would like to see @ : gigwithmikeredman@gmail.comThanks for listening !Mike Redman

On this episode of By Any Means Necessary, hosts Sean Blackmon and Jacquie Luqman are joined by Mondale Robinson, founder of the Black Male Voter Project, to talk about Joe Biden's huge victories in key Super Tuesday states, what the lack of Black voter turnout for Sanders says about broader failures of the progressive movement to engage with Black communities, and how Bloomberg's withdrawal from the race and rapid endorsement of Joe Biden looks to impact the electoral prospects of both Biden and Sanders.In the second segment, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Pablo Vivanco, a Chilean-Canadian journalist and former director of Telesur English, to talk about the mass arrests of protesters in Chile this weekend, how the timing of the uptick in protest activity is related to the upcoming Constitutional referendum in April, what Chilean football clubs have to do with this latest re-intensification of the uprising, and the role of Chile's fascist right wing in mobilizing against the Constitutional referendum amid a broader campaign of violence and intimidation against leftists. In the third segment, Sean and Jacquie are joined by Raymond Caldwell, Producing Artistic Director of Theater Alliance in Washington, DC, to talk about the new play “This Bitter Earth” currently running at Theatre Alliance through March 22, how the play's dissection of the relationship of a biracial couple struggling to understand their place within society and social movements, the ways the play explores the limits of traditional "allyship" from white supporters of racial justice, why he feels it's so important to emphasize stories of Black love in a cultural landscape dominated by Black trauma, the need for cultural experiences to translate into social practice, and how Theater Alliance is using its roots in the historically Black and working-class Anacostia community to critically address social and systemic issues.Later in the show, Jacquie and Sean are joined by Bryan Weaver, Founder and Executive Director of Hoops Sagrado, to talk about Shaq's new and unfortunate hairline, how the Democratic establishment pulled off one of their greatest upsets of US political history, what may be motivating Elizabeth Warren's continued participation in the nomination race, whether Bernie Sanders still has a viable path to securing the nomination and if his rules suggestion (that the candidate with a plurality of votes at the convention be given the nomination) may come back to bite him, whether Jim Clyburn's role in manufacturing Biden's momentum is being overstated, why every campaign but Biden's seemed to be suffering from a lousy ground game, why Sanders' lack of youth voter turnout spelled disaster for his nomination hopes, whether over-confidence among Sanders' supporters had anything to do with his poor numbers, which of Trump's latest bullying victims had it coming, and what separates a good basketball movie from a "turrible" one.

Paola Ardiles Gamboa is an educator and public health champion who teaches health promotion and social innovation at Simon Fraser University in Canada. She’s also Chilean-Canadian and an advocate for human rights in Chile. Much of her work focuses on the social determinants of mental health, and story is one of her most powerful tools for change.Recently, she shared a very personal story of her immigration to Canada and the resulting mental health challenges her family faced. Her goal was to draw attention to challenges and inequities in our systems, specifically the social determinants of health. As we discuss the surprising impact of this seemingly simple act, we explore the power of story to help us find, create and strengthen community.This leads to an exploration of her use of stories in the health change lab she co-leads for university students in Surrey, British Columbia. By listening to and analyzing their own stories alongside stories from the community, students are able to develop deep empathy and understanding for the people they’re about to serve, which enables them to co-create better solutions to health challenges.Finally, Paola tells us about the work she’s doing to share specific stories from the frontlines of the uprising in Chile, as a way to raise awareness and encourage global action. By seeking out personal connections and focusing on making the stories relevant to listeners thousands of kilometres away, she and her colleagues have been able to inspire both grassroots and political action to address the human rights injustices in her home country.
