Hello and welcome to another episode of Getting Hot in Here! After a short break between episodes, we wanted to talk about the economics of the lockdown. We know that rebuilding the economy after the recession caused by the lockdown will take some time and will be challenging - but what if it also provides an opportunity for growth in a greener direction?Today’s episode is an interview with a very special guest. Chris Core has been teaching economics for over 30 years, and has been passionate about sustainability for even longer. He also happens to be Nik’s dad.He sat down for a virtual chat about what a post-COVID rebuild could look like, if we decide to invest in renewable energy and transition away from fossil fuels. We start off with a bit of an ‘Econ 101’ – a crash course in key terms and concepts that we need to know when talking about rebuilding an economy. We talk about what economics can teach us about the way forward post-COVID, and the opportunity that a downturn presents to challenge paradigms that aren’t working for us anymore. We also talk about what a sustainable transition could look like for the Australian economy, and how we could get there.Note: since we recorded the episode, it was revealed that there was a miscalculation and that the $130 billion COVID-19 relief scheme JobKeeper will actually cost around $70 billion: https://www.theguardian.com/australia-news/2020/may/27/work-in-progress-a-60bn-miscalculation-could-make-jobkeeper-fairer-and-lead-to-quicker-recovery#maincontentSources and further reading:International Monetary Fund - https://www.imf.org/external/index.htmThe Dutch Tulip Market Bubble - https://www.investopedia.com/terms/d/dutch_tulip_bulb_market_bubble.aspThe Institute of Sustainable Futures (ISF) https://www.uts.edu.au/research-and-teaching/our-research/institute-sustainable-futuresRoss Garnaut book launch - Superpower: Australia’s Low Carbon Opportunity https://www.uts.edu.au/news/social-justice-sustainability/book-launch-superpower-australias-low-carbon-opportunityClimate change and disease - https://www.echo.net.au/2020/05/planet-watch-climate-change-and-disease/For some great analysis of the decline of fossil fuel industry and the opportunity presented to rebuild sustainably after COVID-19, check out https://carbontracker.org/Links to get involved:Get-Up - https://www.getup.org.au/campaigns/covid-recovery/stop-the-ungi-keep-energy-funding-honest/sign-keep-energy-funding-honest?t=AX29wesNnz&utm_content=28898&utm_campaign=Coal_cash_grab&utm_source=blast&utm_medium=emailGreenpeace - https://www.greenpeace.org.au/donate/our-campaigns?bucket=Fundraising-Digital&source=ca_Fundraising-Digital_.uso_website_.uter_WEB-Banner_.umed_referral_._20191024114317_&src=WEB-Banner&ea.tracking.id=ca_Fundraising-Digital_.uso_website_.uter_WEB-Banner_.umed_referral_._20191024114317_How to contact your Member of Parliament - https://www.aph.gov.au/Senators_and_Members/Guidelines_for_Contacting_Senators_and_Members

Arch Campbell on Channel 4 ratings back in the day ~ "We couldn't get arrested. In fact, we used to ... You know, Patty Hearst was kidnapped and started robbing banks back then. We used to say that, 'When Patty Hearst was on the lam from the FBI, she anchored the 5:00 news on Channel 4, because that way she knew that nobody would see her.'" Arch Campbell (right) with Andy Ockershausen (left) in studio Our Town interview A Ockershausen This is Andy Ockershausen. This is Our Town. Arch Campbell: Oh, ho, ho. A Ockershausen We have a special guest ... Arch Campbell: Whose town is this? A Ockershausen Who has one of the best jobs in show business. He gets to go to the movies, he goes to the theater, he goes to concerts. He sees great entertainment. He never pays. He's been doing it close for 40 years. If every channel and every radio station had an opportunity to have Arch McDonald, as a friend of mine. Welcome to Arch Campbell on Our Town with Andy Ockershausen. Arch Campbell: Does anybody come on this show who's actually employed anymore? What is this? This is the parade ... You ought to call this the "When I" show. When I worked here, when I worked there, when I was working, when I. I'm pretty much retired, but I've been in broadcasting more than 50 years. I spent 40 years on television in Washington D.C. A Ockershausen That's incredible, Arch. Nobody else can match that. Arch Campbell: How do you think I feel? A Ockershausen You were wired from time to time. Will the real Arch McDonald please stand up? Arch Campbell: I thought I'd last about three years. You said Arch McDonald. A Ockershausen I know, but you know what? I used to do that when you were a talent. Arch Campbell: I loved it, when I had talent. If there's anyone listening to this podcast, under the age of 90, maybe we should explain that Arch McDonald was a beloved baseball announcer. He called all the baseball games for the Washington Senators. He was a great a sportscaster. I came to town, and he died in the late sixties, like 1968. You know later, I made friends with a lot of people, and one of my friends is Jim Silman. A Ockershausen Oh my, Jimmie. Arch Campbell: Arch McDonald died on the train coming back from a baseball game in Philadelphia. My friend Jim was with him. They were playing bridge on the club car of the metro. A Ockershausen Oh my God. I didn't know that story. Arch Campbell: When I got to town in '74, Arch McDonald had died, but he was still well remembered. The guy who hired me, who was the boss at Channel 4, was named Bruce McDonald. My name is Arch Campbell, and of course the Campbells and the McDonalds had this great feud in Scotland, way back when. A Ockershausen It all came into play. Arch Campbell: Arch McDonald had a son, Arch McDonald Junior. A Ockershausen Archie, the salesman. Arch Campbell: He ran a station up in Frederick or some place. A Ockershausen Hagerstown. Arch Campbell: I would get mail for Arch McDonald. Then I met you. I used to come over here when Chris Core was on WMAL, and hang around Chris. We were never sober, neither one of us, but we had a lot of fun. I'd run into you, and you would say Arch McDonald to me. At first, I thought, "He's having a memory skip." A Ockershausen "He's dumb." Arch Campbell: "He doesn't really ..." It took be about 15 years to figure out, "Oh no. He's screwing with me. He's screwing with me. He thinks nobody knows who I am. He wants me to think that." I loved you from the word go, but when I figured that out, I knew ... A Ockershausen Well, Sheila did too, so that made it okay. His wife was Sheila. Arch Campbell: My first wife. A Ockershausen A very successful ad executive, very successful. Arch Campbell: You know, she's still in town, and now she leads groups on trips to Paris. A Ockershausen That's what I understand. She's a traveller. Arch Campbell: She speaks French. A Ockershausen Marvelous, marvelous.
Ed Henry on the story that was the impetus for the title "42 Faith" ~ "It's a lesson for all of us, and that's why we call it 42 Faith. It wasn't just Jackie's faith, Branch Rickey's faith, I think a lot of these players on the Dodgers had remarkable faith." Ed Henry - Author, 42 Faith: The Rest of the Jackie Robinson Story A Ockershausen: A friend in need is a friend in deed, and this man is a friend. He used to be a fresh faced kid, he made a huge impact on Our Town. He's not fresh faced anymore. Ed Henry: Wow. A Ockershausen: Ed Henry is a transplant from Queens, New York. Ed Henry: Mm-hmm. A Ockershausen: Came to Washington as a journalist, to work for Jack Anderson. Ed Henry: That's right. A Ockershausen: How about that! He's another success story who found his way to WMAL radio. Providing political insight into a morning show. We had a morning show here called Harden and Weaver, it's not with us anymore. He worked with Chris Core, and Chris Plante. In fact, he worked everywhere from Roll Call to the Washingtonian, to CNN, Fox News, he's covered the Hill, the White House. He's covered some incredible national news stories. And the main news himself, with a fabulous new book about Jackie Robinson. Please welcome Ed Henry to Our Town. 42 Faith: The Rest of the Jackie Robinson Story by Ed HenryEd Henry: Thanks for having me! The book's called 42 Faith and you told me you had a little story about Jackie Robinson. Weren't you walking through National Airport? A Ockershausen: No. Ed Henry: When he- A Ockershausen: I had invited Howard down to be the ... Howard Cosell and Jackie Robinson Ed Henry: Howard Cosell. A Ockershausen: To be a ... Cosell, he's ... There's only one Howard. Ed Henry: There's only one Howard to you. Like Frank ... A Ockershausen: Everyone else didn't get to meet him. Whenever ever I say, JB who's sat right in that chair. You know JB, you know . . . Ed Henry: I know JB. A Ockershausen: He's our guy. Well, Howard and I . . . I had to pick him up at the airport, and when he got in, this is before cellphones. This must have been in the early 70S. Ed Henry: 1972 72. A Ockershausen: He got a phone call, somebody at the gate gave him this message, he had to make a phone call. He had to call Rachel Robinson, that Jackie had died. Ed Henry: Yeah, October 1972. He was only 53 years old. A Ockershausen: That is incredible, but to be there, to be part of history when he got that message. He had been close to him, he used to ride the train with him. I didn't know that they lived up at Pound Ridge, or some place. Ed Henry: Yeah, it's amazing what, we get into all these different layers of this story but, the old Brooklyn Dodgers of the forties and fifties, they used to take the subway to Ebbets Field. I mean, you think about now, these players who make 150, 250 million Bryce Harper, here in Washington is talking about his next deal being over $400 million, almost half a billion dollars, for a baseball player. Are they worth it? Are they not worth it? It'll be a bar room argument for a long time, but these players didn't make a whole lot of money, even if they were world famous. A Ockershausen: Howard’s point, . . Jackie rode the train. Ed Henry: Yeah. A Ockershausen: Because he rode the train. Going home to Pound Ridge or some place and he met Rachel and the family. Dodgers, Flatbush and Stickball Ed Henry: One of the characters in my book is Jerry Reinsdorf because he's the owner of the Chicago White Sox and the Chicago Bulls, he became famous in Chicago but he grew up in Flatbush. And he played stickball with Duke Snider. You know Willie, Mickey and the Duke? Could you imagine playing stickball now with Jason Werth or Ryan Zimmerman, I mean, I know Ryan but you don't play stickball in the street, a 10 year old kid doesn't play stickball with Duke Snider. But Duke Snider lived in a little apartment in Flatbush and took the subway to Ebbets Field.
