Podcasts about Clive Cussler

This week on The Business of Watches, a Swiss brand that resonates with much of the Hodinkee community, Doxa. Founded in Le Locle, Switzerland, and now based in Biel/Bienne, it has more than a century of history and is responsible for designing and producing some of the most iconic dive watches ever built. With links to legendary figures, including Jacques Cousteau and author Clive Cussler, Doxa has served as a case study for how to revive, rebuild, and grow a brand by zeroing in on the best parts of its story while keeping prices approachable at a time when the industry trend is tilted very much to premiumization. Jan Edocs is the executive leading Doxa these days, and in a wide-ranging interview recorded last year, he lays out the brand's plans for measured but steady growth. Once available only online, Doxa is now in retailers across the U.S., Japan, the Middle East, and Australia, with plans to eventually be in more than 300 retail locations.  At a time of cost inflation and tariffs, a significant challenge is keeping prices approachable while telling Doxa's unique story and history to fresh customers with new products. There are plenty of lessons on how to position a brand and company to weather both storms and sunny beach days, where a Doxa might just be the ideal wristwear.  But first, Hodinkee Deputy Editor Tim Jeffreys drops in for his BoW debut. We talk about Grand Seiko's big move to sign baseball superstar Shohei Ohtani as a global ambassador and what it might mean for the brand.  Show Notes  1:30 Tim Jeffreys  4:46 Shohei Ohtani Joins Grand Seiko As A Global Ambassador  7:41 Akio Naito and Munehisa Shibasaki On Grand Seiko In America And The Future Of All Things Seiko (Hodinkee)  10:04 Jan Edocs, CEO of Doxa   11:40 Doxa History  12:56 Jenny Watches may be a Brand you've Never Heard of, but it's left a Significant Mark on Dive Watch History (Monochrome)  14:22 Walca Watches  16:19 Doxawatches.com  21:05 The Incredible Calypso: Jacques Cousteau's Crazy Exploration Vessel (Calum YouTube)  21:50 Introducing The Doxa Sub 300T Clive Cussler Special Edition (Live Pics) (Hodinkee)  23:30 The Doxa Sub 200 (Hodinkee)  43:00 CHFxUSD 44:20 Watchmaking in Biel/Bienne (Swiss Tourism)  47:36 The Doxa SUB 250 Ahmed Seddiqi 75th Anniversary Limited Edition (Monochrome)  49:00 Introducing Doxa Sub 300 Carbon Seafoam Limited Edition (Hodinkee)  1:07:45 The Doxa Sub 200T – A Smaller Take On The Classic Doxa Design

Barbara Peters in conversation with Clive Cussler

Sahara had everything going for it: a big cast led by ultra hot actors Matthew McConaughey and Penelope Cruz, a devoted fan base of author Clive Cussler's novels, and a big budget courtesy of Disney. And then it came out and flopped. But that doesn't mean it's still not fun and it doesn't mean that we can't have real  conversations about history. In fact, the movie gives us the perfect opportunity to talk about artifact recovery and repatriation. Joining me today are Colin Colbourn and Derek Abbey from Project Recover, a nonprofit group dedicated to searching for and locating American MIAs and POWs from conflicts around the world. this is a cool conversation about both the movie and the process of bringing American soldiers home. 

Marco Buticchi"La più bella del mondo"Longanesi Editorewww.longanesi.itGallia, I secolo a.C. Un villaggio viene distrutto per stanare la druida Artio, ma la donna riesce a fuggire insieme a Lugh, suo apprendista. Quando Giulio Cesare invade la Gallia, Lugh viene catturato e, al seguito di Cesare, finisce in Egitto, alla corte di Cleopatra. Qui, tra i misteri dell'antica terra dei faraoni, perfeziona le arti magiche tramandategli dalla druida, immergendosi nel fascino occulto di una civiltà leggendaria…Europa, anni Venti. Sin da piccola, Hedwig Kiesler mostra una spiccata propensione per la recitazione e intraprende una promettente carriera come attrice. Hedwig conquista l'amore di Fritz Mandl, ricco mercante d'armi, e impara presto a memorizzare le informazioni raccolte nelle cene di lavoro del marito, alla presenza dei leader di un'Europa sull'orlo di un nuovo conflitto mondiale. Il destino però la conduce a Hollywood: è lì che cambia nome e diventa Hedy Lamarr, l'attrice «più bella del mondo». I servizi segreti statunitensi la mettono alle strette: è stata testimone di conversazioni riservate, conosce molte persone nella cerchia di Hitler e Mussolini, e può diventare la chiave per disinnescare la minaccia nazista.Hollywood, 2026. Oswald Breil e Sara Terracini sono ospiti alla notte degli Oscar. L'Academy conferisce un premio a Daniel Berg, anziano produttore di origini ebraiche. Quando l'uomo si alza per ricevere la statuetta viene ucciso con un colpo sparato da un'arma di precisione. Breil ha notato qualcosa e collabora con gli inquirenti. Da quel momento riceve una serie di minacce affinché abbandoni Hollywood e le indagini, ma questo non lo fermerà nella ricerca di una verità che può costargli la vita.Ancora una volta Marco Buticchi scava nella Storia portando alla luce i segreti che costellano la straordinaria carriera di Hedy Lamarr e i misteri che affondano le radici nell'epoca di Cesare e Cleopatra, dando vita a un romanzo carico di tensione e fascino.Marco Buticchi, il maestro italiano dell'avventura, è nato alla Spezia nel 1957 e ha viaggiato moltissimo per lavoro, nutrendo così anche la sua curiosità, il suo gusto per l'avventura e la sua attenzione per la storia e il particolare fascino dei tanti luoghi che ha visitato. È il primo autore italiano pubblicato da Longanesi nella collana «I maestri dell'avventura» (accanto a Wilbur Smith, Clive Cussler e Patrick O'Brian), in cui sono apparsi con grande successo di pubblico e di critica Le Pietre della Luna (1997), Menorah (1998), Profezia (2000), La nave d'oro (2003), L'anello dei re (2005), Il vento dei demoni (2007), Il respiro del deserto (2009), La voce del destino (2011), La stella di pietra (2013), Il segno dell'aquila (2015), La luce dell'impero (2017), Il segreto del faraone nero (2018), Stirpe di navigatori (2019), L'ombra di Iside (2020), Il mare dei fuochi (2021), Il serpente e il faraone (2022), L'oro degli dei (2023) e Il figlio della tempesta (2024), disponibili anche in edizione TEA, oltre a Scusi bagnino, l'ombrellone non funziona (2006) e a Casa di mare (2016), un appassionato ritratto del padre, Albino Buticchi. Nel dicembre 2008 Marco Buticchi è stato nominato Commendatore dal Presidente della Repubblica per aver contribuito alla diffusione della lingua e della letteratura italiana anche all'estero. www.marcobuticchi.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

I sat down with western author Casey Nash, who's written over 90 books in his Jubel Stone: U.S. Marshal series and somehow hasn't run out of stories yet. We talked about: How he accidentally became a novelist after hiding his first book from his wife Why his westerns feel like classic TV shows—short, punchy, and no filler What it takes to keep a character fresh through 90+ books The co-writing process with other authors, including a potential collab with Lane Morinzy Why he won't write zombie cowboy books, no matter what sells Drawing inspiration from real life—from pastoring to people watching in airport bars The power of writing clean, violent, emotionally honest westerns Whether you're a writer, a cowboy, or just a sucker for a good shoot-'em-up, this one's worth the ride.

Couch Potato Theater: Sahara (2005) Watch: Fandom Podcast Network YouTube Channel Link: https://www.youtube.com/@FandomPodcastNetwork Listen: Couch Potato Theater Audio Podcast Link: https://fpnet.podbean.com/category/couch-potato-theater Welcome to Couch Potato Theater, where we celebrate our favorite movies on the Fandom Podcast Network! On this episode we celebrate and discuss the 20th Anniversary of action-adventure film Sahara (2005). Plot: Master explorer Dirk Pitt goes on the adventure of a lifetime of seeking out a lost Civil War battleship known as the "Ship of Death" in the deserts of West Africa while helping a World Health Organization doctor being hounded by a ruthless dictator. Sahara is a 2005 action-adventure film directed by Breck Eisner based on the best-selling 1992 novel of the same name by Clive Cussler. It stars Matthew McConaughey, Steve Zahn and Penélope Cruz, and follows a treasure hunter who partners with a WHO (World Health Organization) doctor to find a lost American Civil War Ironclad warship in the Sahara Desert. The film was shot in 2003 on-location in Morocco as well as in the United Kingdom. It became notable for its many production issues, including doubling its production budget from $80 million to $160 million and a series of lawsuits. Sahara grossed $119 million worldwide at the box-office, ultimately failing to recoup all of its costs, and is often listed among the biggest box-office failures of all time.

We share a lot of success stories here on the ISO Show, along with hints, tips and updates to Standards, including insights from our consultants who work with Standards day in and day out.  In our latest mini-series, we're taking a step back to introduce members of our team, to explore how they fell into the world of ISO and discuss the common challenges they face while helping clients achieve ISO certification.   In this episode we introduce Darren Morrow, a Senior Consultant at Blackmores, to learn about his journey towards becoming an ISO Consultant and what drives him to help clients on their ISO journey.   You'll learn ·      What is Darren's role at Blackmores? ·      What does Darren enjoy outside of consultancy? ·      What path did Darren take to become an ISO Consultant? ·      What is the biggest challenge he's faced when implementing ISO Standards? ·      What is Darren's biggest achievement?   Resources ·      Isologyhub ·      Engagement Amplifier Gameplan   In this episode, we talk about: [00:30] Episode Summary – We introduce Darren Morrow, a Senior Consultant here at Blackmores, to discuss his journey towards becoming an ISO consultant who specialises in ISO 9001, ISO 45001, ISO 14001 and ISO 50001.   [03:45] What is Darren's role at Blackmores? Darren is a Senior Consultant with Blackmores, supporting companies with maintaining systems, undertaking internal audits, and supporting with implementing new systems to gain certification. A key part of his role is translating ISO Standards into plain English, and guides clients on how to apply them in practice. [04:55] What does Darren enjoy doing outside of consultancy?: Darren moved to Norfolk back in 2021 ans has since found the relaxed way of life there to be a great fit. It also offers a lot of good walking opportunities for his 2 Leonberger's (giant breed dogs), who mostly enjoy the local parks and beach walks. Darren is also an avid reader, clocking in a whopping 343 weeks' worth of reading on his kindle. His favourite genres include:- ·      Crime, thriller, adventure types - Clive Cussler, Michael Connelly, David Baldacci, CJ Box, Dan Brown, James Carol ·      Horror - James Herbert, Stephen King ·      Supernatural, urban fantasy, fantasy - Ben Aaronvitch, Jim Butcher, Raymond E Feist, C S Lewis & Tolkien ·      Historical - CJ Sansom, SJ Parris ·      And Terry Pratchett for a weird dose of reality. He's also a movie buff, with a collection of over 1,000 films ranging from the 1930's all the way to modern era. Recently he took on the challenge of watching all the Marvel films in chronological order, which took a few weeks! [10:35] What was Darren's path towards becoming an ISO Consultant?: Before Blackmores, Darren was the Quality Manager for a company that worked within the Highways Maintenance sector, working there for 8 years. For the first 18 months he was primarily the Quality Manager for a specific contract on the Olympic Park, as that contract came to an end, he moved into the main company Quality Manager role supporting multiple highway term maintenance contracts along with various smaller projects that the business won. Prior to that, he was a SHEQ Advisor within the Rail industry, working for a signaling company. Darren worked there for about 5 years, within head office support roles for quality and health and safety, moving to working on supporting the project teams and project delivery for signaling schemes. Overall, looking back, he's worked with standards within a quality, health & safety, environmental for around 25 years now.  [13:20] What is Darren's favourite aspect of being a Consultant? – Darren likes the variety. As an ISO Consultant, he gets to work with lots of different people, companies and industries, so he gets to learn a lot about how they work and how Standards apply to different industries. He also enjoys the fact that after working with clients for a number of years, he becomes just another member of the team.   [15:15] What Standards does Darren specilaise in and why? Starting with: ·      ISO 9001 Quality: This is the main standard that Darren starting working with back in 1999 ·      ISO 45001 Occupational Health and Safety: While working within rail, Darren was given the opportunity to do some training and proceeded to complete NEBOSH courses - general and construction, this proved invaluable in future roles. ·      ISO 14001 Environmental: Darren ended up working with this Standard as part of on-going development. His role as a Quality Manager expanded, and at the time, all external audits with our certification body were coordinated through him. So, for on-going development he completed the NEBOSH environmental managed certificate. ·      ISO 50001 Energy Management: This is one of Darren's favourites. He's taken on this standard since working with Blackmores and seemed like a natural progression with the work he was already doing. He likes how this standard helps companies think more about their impacts on the environment in terms of energy consumption. In terms of companies climate change impacts, Darren likes how ISO 50001 can support deep dives into data that is available or not clearly available in many cases to support improvement and reduction in energy consumption. This also can pave the way for those companies that take it more seriously, and progress to newer standards like ISO14064-1 for quantification and reporting of greenhouse gases, but also part 3 for the verification and validation of greenhouse gases. This is where our sister company, Carbonology Ltd, really excel. Darren does his bit with ISO 50001 clients to educate and prepare them for taking more proactive steps towards meaningful energy and carbon reporting. For example, if they grow sufficiently or fall within the parameters of mandatory schemes such as ESOS or SECR reporting, or they just want to do their bit and demonstrate their commitment to minimising their impact on the environment and overall energy consumption. [23:10] What is the biggest challenge Darren had faced during a project and how did he overcome it?: He doesn't have a single one that stands out, but common issues are usually either down to availability or commitment of the individuals within the company he's supporting. For example, the company may decide that they require certification to a standard or multiple standards. There will be commitment from some within the business, and there are those that may not see the importance or feel it's not important to them and what they do.  Darren's job is to support the company in achieving its main goal in gaining certification. His work with the company involved explaining what is to be done and why. He's found that most of any resistance is because individuals do not know the why and how it impacts them, etc. The other aspect is to make it clear that he is not there to tell them what to do, or that they're doing it wrong. He works with people to either document the process (where required), help them find improvement in the process and continue to search for improvement. [27:00] What is Darren's proudest achievement? Darren states that there's no one definitive achievement to highlight, rather he would say supporting clients who are new to the standards. Working with them and providing knowledge so that they know the 'why' and understand the standards and their processes, and finally seeing the end result with being recommended for certification. The ones that he's particularly happy with are those that go for multiple standards, that result in recommendation for certification with little or no significant findings from the certification body, it shows that the company has been fully engaged and embedded the overall process into how they work.

Marco Buticchi"Il figlio della tempesta"Longanesi Editorewww.longanesi.it  Fine XIX secolo. Nikola Tesla sbarca negli Stati Uniti per dedicarsi alla carriera di inventore. Le sue scoperte rivoluzionarie nel campo dell'elettromagnetismo attirano presto gli interessi tanto dei servizi governativi quanto della criminalità e, in una New York flagellata dalle guerre tra gang, Tesla dovrà compiere una drastica scelta: portare a termine la sua ultima, potentissima invenzione o fermarsi prima che i risvolti militari dei suoi esperimenti creino tensioni irreversibili tra le grandi potenze? Quando Tesla muore nel 1943 i suoi segreti sembrano destinati a morire con lui. Ma il male non dimentica e non si ferma. La scomparsa dell'inventore getta un velo di silenzio sulla sua scoperta, ma basta sollevarlo per scoprire una terribile minaccia...2023. Le tensioni tra Palestina e Israele precipitano e sfociano nei violenti attacchi del 7 ottobre. Tra gli ostaggi di Hamas vi è anche l'intera famiglia di Roxie Oshman, sorella di Toba, storica collaboratrice di Oswald Breil. Il vero bersaglio dell'azione militare è in realtà il marito di Roxie, l'ebreo statunitense Richard Goldberg, un ingegnere elettronico che stava lavorando a un progetto segretissimo…Incaricati di far luce sull'intera vicenda, Oswald e Sara Terracini si mettono al lavoro per scoprire che cosa nasconda Goldberg. In una corsa contro il tempo, Oswald e Sara dovranno impedire che l'arma più pericolosa mai creata finisca nelle mani sbagliate…Marco Buticchi torna con un romanzo che ripercorre le tappe più misteriose della carriera dell'inventore serbo, fino a incrociarle con i drammatici eventi più attuali della questione israelo-palestinese, in un crescendo di tensione e adrenalina. Marco Buticchi, il maestro italiano dell'avventura, è nato alla Spezia nel 1957 e ha viaggiato moltissimo per lavoro, nutrendo così anche la sua curiosità, il suo gusto per l'avventura e la sua attenzione per la storia e il particolare fascino dei tanti luoghi che ha visitato.

On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous is a letter from a son to a mother who cannot read. Written when the speaker, Little Dog, is in his late twenties, the letter unearths a family's history that began before he was born — a history whose epicenter is rooted in Vietnam — and serves as a doorway into parts of his life his mother has never known, all of it leading to an unforgettable revelation. At once a witness to the fraught yet undeniable love between a single mother and her son, it is also a brutally honest exploration of race, class, and masculinity. Asking questions central to our American moment, immersed as we are in addiction, violence, and trauma, but undergirded by compassion and tenderness, On Earth We're Briefly Gorgeous is as much about the power of telling one's own story as it is about the obliterating silence of not being heard. With stunning urgency and grace, Ocean Vuong writes of people caught between disparate worlds, and asks how we heal and rescue one another without forsaking who we are. The question of how to survive, and how to make of it a kind of joy, powers the most important debut novel of many years. Join the conversation! Share your thoughts, queries, and viewpoints in the comments or connect with Marisa (@serafinitv) and me on social media. In our upcoming discussion, we'll explore Treasure by Clive Cussler.

Sahara was meant to be the next big adventure franchise—an Indiana Jones for a new era. Its main character—Dirk Pitt played by Matthew McConaughey—was the lead in a series of novels by Clive Cussler. The material was there to be mined, but the audience was not. Despite its inspiration, Sahara could not match the popularity of the novels. Grossing just $119 million worldwide, it took quite the hit at the box office, especially since the cost of the film ballooned during production. The reasons for why those costs went off the rails are plentiful and detailed extensively in an old LA Times piece. Its failure aside, there is some fun to be had. With exciting set pieces and that classic McConaughey charm, this should not have been the flop it was. Now, sit back, quench your thirst for adventure with a Shiner Bock from the Spoetzl Brewery, and don't drink that well water! I, the Thunderous Wizard (@WriterTLK), Bling Blake, and Chumpzilla are pulling a Panama to evade the fuzz! This Week's Segments: Introduction/Plot Breakdown – Adventure has a new name ... Dirk Pitt!

 This is Superlative: A Podcast about watches, the people behind them, and the worlds that inspire them. This week our host and aBlogtoWatch Founder Ariel Adams is sitting down in person with more than one guest. The first part of the episode Ariel is chatting with Dirk Cussler. Dirk is the coauthor with his late father Clive Cussler of nine Dirk Pitt adventures, and he has been an active participant and partner in his father's NUMA expeditions. The two sit and chat about the book series that his father started involving the infamous character Dirk Pitt, and his fathers private nonprofit group the National Underwater and Marine Agency. They talk about the SUB 300T Clive Cussler DOXA watch, which is a unique timepiece that embodies the adventurous spirit of Clive Cussler's novels, and the art of aging material such as the aged stainless steel found in the SUB 300T. As the episode switches over to our next guest, Ariel sits down with the CEO of DOXA Watches, Jan Edocs. Ariel and Jan dive into the deep felt attachment that DOXA has to Clive and Dirk Cussler's novels, and the real level of fandom that DOXA has as a brand. Ariel asks about the decision to make the SUB 300T a pre-aged timepiece, if it is something we might see on other watches from the brand, and how DOXA can up their game further to become a “museum brand”.

Eventually, she became a Silicon Valley IT executive, but her heart wasn't in it. Before her hair began to turn gray, she had a health scare, which forced her to face her own mortality. At the top of the bucket list was becoming a bestselling author. She decided to break free of the golden handcuffs to pursue her dream. After years of drafting, editing, and finding an agent and publisher, her debut, VanOps: The Lost Power, was released as an instant Barnes and Noble Nook bestseller. It went on to win three literary awards. Solstice Shadows, VanOps #2 quickly became a #1 Amazon bestseller in the U.S. and Canada, before winning a bronze medal at the Readers' Favorite book awards and nabbing the Chanticleer Global Thrillers Genre Grand Prize. The Doomsday Medallion won an Honorable Mention at the Southern California Book Awards. Her latest, Cleopatra's Vendetta, also won two awards. She's honored that her work has been compared to that of James Rollins, Steve Berry, Dan Brown, and Clive Cussler.

The TSHE Book Club is back with a vengeance and what Clive Cussler's Sahara lacks in nutritional content, it more than makes up for in sexism, racism, and boring us back to death because we're already dead.Actually, we enjoyed parts of the ride. But not as much as we enjoyed a special Dad Book Quiz by one Guest Producer Gregory Schreckengost. We may not be joining the Clive Hive anytime soon, but we haven't closed the book on airport paperbacks for future group reading.Plus: -pocolpyse is the new -gate, he said while gazing into the listener's Dresden Blue eyes. TSHE RecommendsThe Last of Us Connect with the show!

Facechat, Tweeter, Ticky Tocky, Instabook - follow along as your TSHE hosts mine the depths (or shallows) of their relationship with social media. We talk about our early days on social media (where is the Live Journal archive?!), and how we feel about it all now. Some lingering questions: Will Bobby's Santa-themed fedora pic be found? Who are these Lundholm bots? Is WhatsApp the metric system of social media? Don't miss the hilarious and embarrassing look back at the Facebook posts of yore (please refer to the show picture). In small talk, we preview our upcoming book club! Sahara by dad book author extraordinaire, Clive Cussler! Also, an important chapter of Ann's life closes. Finally, Hillary might be insane or the best mom? As Ann's therapist says - two things can be true at once!
