Things Discussed: HTTV: the only 2023 Michigan preview magazine advocating wheel routes to Edwards and Loveland! Digital Edition, Kindle Edition, Print Interest List. Pat Fitzgerald & Northwestern: Seth recounts getting hazed at his fraternity, which ended those practices in 1999. Who for Northwestern? Brian says they should go retread. Seth thinks they can do better: There are worse lives than being rich in Evanston, Illinois. NIL: Why they can't make all of the donations tax-deductible: Some of the schools were sloppier than HAIL! but the fundamental principle is if you're running a charity, the purpose has to be CHARITABLE. Seven collectives coming together: Is it a union? Call it what you want; industries always have organizations within them to create leverage to benefit them. The big pie is the TV money, but the collectives right now are just trying to bring some kind of quality and standardization to their products.

Back in the mid-nineties, a young Chris Floyd, in the early stages of his photographic career, was offered the opportunity to go to the USA for the first time by a brand new British magazine called Loaded. The one week assignment was to shoot an up and coming band from the north of England called The Verve and not surprisingly Chris jumped at the chance. Thus began a working relationship for which Chris was given complete access to the band during their meteoric rise to huge global success from late 1996 to 1997, when he documented the recording, touring and promotion of their era-defining album Urban Hymns (which remains one of the biggest selling British albums of all time) until the band, in time honoured rock n roll fashion, split up at the height of their success. Twenty years later Chris has published a book of the photographs he took during that time, published by Reel Art Press. As well as being a document of these events, the book is a celebration of what it meant to be young in the last moments of societal unself-awareness, before the explosion of the internet and social media, and it includes a section dedicated to people’s memories of 1997. Chris reflects, “For a while it felt like being at the centre of the universe. ... We were in a brief golden era, when it looked like the world was unshackling itself and beginning to develop a more advanced and progressive attitude. We seemed to be in a decade that had taken a holiday from history. I am grateful and thankful that I got to live out my twenties in such a fertile, peaceful and creative period.” Michael Holden writes in his introduction, “Those years, it turns out, were the twilight of analogue consciousness and certain seeming certainties about the world at large. Whatever we are now, we were not then. This isn’t just the everyday past we’re looking at, but another planet.” The release of the book was accompanied by an exhibition at the Art Space Bermondsey Project in London, where we recorded this conversation in front of a live audience comprised of both photography enthusiasts and loyal fans of the band.

This event welcomes memoir authors are Eva Baker (Martha and Eva) and Maggie Holeman (Women in the Locker Room) and children authors and illustrators La Von Bridges (Alaska Animals, We Love You) and Betty Hedstrand and Chris Floyd (Clever Little Bird). Martha and Eva is the story of a mother and daughter’s journey as German Refugees during WWII. It describes the life they had in Schlesien and the fear and deprivation that they experienced when they became German refugees--where more than 400,000 lost their lives during this expulsion. Martha Maiwald ‘s original memoir was written in the old German (pre-Hitler) script, translated into German, and then ultimately translated into English by her daughter, Eva Baker. Maggie Holeman's memoir, Women in the Locker Room, examines her extraordinary career at the Anchorage airport and being the first woman to achieve the award of weapon proficiency at the Sitka Police Academy. And for her response to the YC-122 crash, she received a legislative commendation for bravery LaVon Bridges and Alice Wright composed chants and poems for their students to learn orally. Subsequently, they learned to read, using the poems and chants now in Alaska Animals, We Love You Betty Hedstrand’s book Clever Little Bird follows the adventures of a moose and magpie in Anchorage. This beautiful book is full of Chris Floyd’s amazing artwork.

Chris Floyd is a British photographer and film maker. His work has appeared in some of the world’s most highly respected publications, including The New Yorker, Harpers Bazaar, GQ, Esquire and The New York Times Magazine. He has shot advertising campaigns for British Airways, Apple, Sony and Philips and has been selected several times for the National Portrait Gallery’s Taylor Wessing Portrait Prize and the annual publication, American Photography. The beginning of Chris’s career coincided with the so-called Britpop movement during the early and mid nineties when he found himself with the opportunity to cut his teeth photographing the biggest British bands of the day, starting with a bunch of unknown Mancunians who called themselves Oasis. In 2011 Chris published a project entitled ‘One Hundred And Forty Characters’. Over a period of a year he made contact with 140 people that he followed on Twitter and photographed each of them in his London studio. The idea for this came at a moment when he realised he had not spoken to any of his closest real life friends in over a month, yet he was communicating several times a week with people on Twitter that he had never met at all. The project received worldwide recognition and acclaim, with features about it on the BBC, Newsweek, The Guardian, Sunday Times, Elle, Esquire and many other publications and websites. Chris lives in England with his wife, Alice, and their two daughters.

On this week's episode, Chris Floyd, the operations manager at the Indie MEGABOOTH and co-founder of the Indies Workshop, joins host Josiah Renaudin to discuss the viability of indie games, how to use your freelance work to get a different job in the industry, and why shorter reviews are often better reviews.
