I have a good conversation for you today with Alasdair Crawley from FanBase.  We had a great time talking about sports business including: Why sports business is at a crossroads. The challenge of getting the basics right.  Data v. research Balancing the short term and long term in fanbase building.  The power of experience... And, much more.  I'm going to be on tour this year... On sales will be available on my website in a few days, but you are a listener of the podcast so I want to let you know first.  I've rebuilt 'Fans for Life' for 2024 and it is better than ever.  I'll be hosting two sessions: Wednesday, September 4, 2024 in NYC.  Tuesday, 19 November 2024 in Melbourne.  Obviously, these sessions coincide with the 2024 Pearl Jam world tour...but if they didn't, what would I even be doing?  I'll get the full details up in the next few days, but we are going to cover things like: Developing insights and understanding of the market using free and publicly available data.  How to balance pricing, brand, and sales to achieve the maximum impact of your fan building efforts.  Establishing your brand so that your fans have an identity to latch onto.  The fan lifecycle and how to understand that so you can maintain a relationship with your fans, even in down times.  And, more... Send me a note with the city you are interested in and I'll do a pre-sale for 'The Business of Fun' listeners... Dave@DaveWakeman.com  I'll also be in London from 28 June to 8 July... A mix of business and pleasure with the Pearl Jam concert at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, The National at Crystal Palace Park, and, hopefully, Wimbledon.  But I also want to set up a time for us to get together and have a pint or a drink. Let's tentatively schedule it for 2 July, Tuesday.  Thank you for being here and listening.  I want your voice to be a bigger part of the podcast going forward. So send me your questions, ideas, guest suggestions, and other feedback...on social media, in the Slack Channel, or via email.  Get 'Talking Tickets' if you don't already at: http://TalkingTickets.Substack.com    

I bloody enjoyed this episode! As usual I crammed in a few promos alongside the eclectic mix in hour 1. In a departure from my usual ways, I slowed things right down in the last 15 mins… to make way for my guest this fortnight, J-Felix, who started his guest mix with a generous slab of hip hop. I saw J-Felix DJ earlier this summer at a day festival in Crystal Palace Park which was headlined by Sister Sledge. I really enjoyed listening to his eclectic, funky selections in the sunshine, so decided to invite him on for a guest mix. He's put together a wonderful mix that would suit a sunny day. It's mostly hip hop, and that's just fine with me. But the pace picks up in the second half - still some hip hop flavours, but some boogie funk and the like too. A bit different to many of the guest mixes I've had on recently, but all the better for it. Don't forget to give J-Felix a follow on the usual platforms, and check out his project The Mint Experiment! https://soundcloud.com/j-felix https://www.instagram.com/jfelixmusicuk/ https://open.spotify.com/artist/4C0wCCOXzZcOvdwdg4x8I4?si=Ouz6juhdTSKJfrUBycqUyQ HOUR 1 TRACKLIST 1 Los Danieles_Gallos de medianoche (Ilya Santana Balearic version) 2 Dee Edwards - Put Your Love On The Line (OOFT! 2021 Edit) 3 Young Pulse - Got To Be A Shame 4 The Fatback Band - I Found Love 5 Take Control (Demo) 6 Saltywax - Ride On 7 Funkadelic - (Not Just) Knee Deep (Sam Redmore Mix) 8 Crackazat - Fire Drift 9 Benjamin Long - African Summer 10 Gee Lane - Neon Beach 11 CHEWY RUBS - LOVE HILLS 12 Funkybeat - Never Go Back 13 Bauhouse - Make Me Feel So Good 14 Aretha Franklin - A Rose Is Still a Rose 15 Erykah Badu - Appletree 16 A.D.O.R. - One For The Trouble 17 112, Notorious Big - Only You 18 Jurassic 5 - Concrete Schoolyard

Five-time MLB All-Star and Home Run Derby X participant Adrian Gonzalez joins Ben live at Home Run House to talk about his HRDX participation and his MLB career. The first HRDX event is in Crystal Palace Park from 12pm on Saturday 9th July. Find out more about HRDX at https://www.mlb.com/HomeRunDerbyX

July brings us the All Star break and the halfway point of the season with plenty to talk about. Jonny, Josh and Erik do all the breaking down for you on whether the Midsummer Classic is all what it's cracked up to be as well as what's in store for MLB in Europe including your chance to attend the Homerun Deby X in Crystal Palace Park.

Due to illness, we missed an episode of the podcast, but we are back on track with the episode recorded in April! This time, Dr. Mark Witton takes us back to what might be the first large-scale expression of palaeoart in 3D: The dinosaurs at the Geological Court at Crystal Palace Park! Tying in with his new book with Ellinor Michel, he tells us all about their history, their surprising influence and their uncertain future. Also, a lot of unashamed bashing of Evil Bastard Richard Owen! The Vintage Dinosaur Art segment takes us back to the 1950s, as we discuss an odd but charming oddity full of interesting art. How can we save what's left of the Geological Court for future generations? Is pre-renaissance dinosaur art more experimental? Why is naming dinosaurs after other dinosaurs still a thing? Does Marc sound like Darth Vader? And why are we suddenly listening to Franz Schubert? Listen to find out!   Show notes at Chasmosaurs.com

MLB – Major League Baseball Last Night Oakland A’s 2, Detroit Tigers 0 Cleveland Guardians 12, Chicago White Sox 9 – 11 Innings Chicago Cubs 6, San Diego Padres 0 Athletics 2, Tigers 0 – A’s beat Tigers 2-0 as Blackburn improves to 4-0 Paul Blackburn threw 6 2/3 strong innings to improve to 4-0 as the Oakland A’s shutout the Detroit Tigers 2-0 to snap a season-high nine-game losing streak. Tony Kemp hit a solo home run in the third and Chad Pinder added an RBI single in the fourth. Blackburn gave up four hits and struck out three before leaving in the seventh inning. Despite walking two batters, rookie Dany Jiménez escaped damage and earned his fifth save to finish off the four-hitter. Guardians 12, White Sox 9 – F/11 – Naylor powers big comeback, Guardians stun White Sox in 11 Josh Naylor hit a tying grand slam with two outs in the ninth inning and a three-run homer in the 11th, powering a huge comeback that carried the Cleveland Guardians to a wild 12-9 victory over the Chicago White Sox. Naylor also had a run-scoring double in the eighth and finished with eight RBIs for the Guardians, who stunned Chicago by rallying from an 8-2 deficit in the ninth aided by two White Sox errors. Andrés Giménez led off the inning with a homer and then doubled home a run in the 10th as the Guardians snapped Chicago’s six-game winning streak. Cubs 6, Padres 0 – Hendricks brilliant for 8 2/3 innings as Cubs snap skid Kyle Hendricks came within one out of three-hit shutout for the Chicago Cubs, who beat the listless San Diego Padres 6-0 to snap a season-high five-game losing streak. Manager David Ross came out to get Hendricks after he got Jurickson Profar to fly out to left on his 116th pitch. Hendricks struck out rookie José Azocar to open the ninth and walked Jake Cronenworth on six pitches before going to a full count against Profar. Scott Effros came on and retired Manny Machado. Hendricks (2-3) didn’t allow a runner to reach scoring position.

Today on the ParkBathe podcast Kirsten and I are indulging in our tree-nerd alter-egos! I've always liked trees, but learning about forest bathing has given me a new respect for our tall friends. Forest Bathing is all about trees – as you walk mindfully in nature absorbing the atmosphere – it's the trees that provide that atmosphere.  Trees have a therapeutic and regenerative effect upon us humans - but it's more than that, they are part of our ancestral heritage. Trees and plants provide shelter and food for wildlife, absorb carbon dioxide, give us breathable air, moderate temperatures, and lock-up water — reducing flooding. Themassive oaks in the Great North Wood in Crystal Palace Park look pretty cool too. Yet, while weknow nature is central to human life, we often disregard it — and somehow see it as secondary..  So, check out our weird and wonderful tree facts and hear about the groovy science from our expert interviewees on what trees do for us. We'll hear how being in nature influences artist Emz Finch and boosts her creativity and the curious way in which trees communicate with each other. If you didn't know trees talk to each other – we're going to fill you in on how they do that — and some of the things they say!   We'd love to hear what you think of this episode and if you tried out any of the 'tree tips' in the bonus episode (they're fun to do with kids and big kids!) There are lots of links below, along with helpful organisations as today we cover the topic of PTSD and miscarriage. Links Tree GuideWood Wide Web filmMarco Mencagli's book the secret therapy of trees. Peter Wohlleben's book the hidden life of trees Stefan BatorijsEmz FinchRachel Massey, Other Ways to WalkPTSD support  Hospital studyFind Forestry England here: ·        Facebook·        Twitter·        YouTube·        Pinterest·        Instagram·        Newsletter·        BlogWritten and produced by Vanessa PotteSupport the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/VanessaP)

 In episode 2 of the ParkBathe series we provide a comprehensive low-down of the mind-boggling  science of forest bathing. Here we dive into why forest bathing (which is simply walking mindfully in nature while absorbing the woodland atmosphere) is really, really good for us. We offer practical and easy ways to bring nature's benefits into your home — so check out the bonus episode !Kirsten McEwan and I started ParkBathe in March this year and have provided 1 hour guided forest bathing sessions in Crystal Palace Park to over 175 people as part of a citizen science initiative funded by the National Lottery. Today I talk to world renowned researchers in the field of forest medicine, Dr Qing Li from Tokyo's Nippon Medical School and Dr Yoshifumi Miyazaki from Chiba University.  We look at how our bodies cope with modern-day stresses like work pressures or worries at home. We hear from Joanna Bristow-Watkins, a forest bathing guide, on how our nervous system regulates chronic stress and how forest bathing can decrease the amount of cortisol (the stress hormone) that our bodies secrete. We even get into the weird and wonderful world of natural killer cells and what these strange-sounding white blood cells do to combat cancer.  We hear from Dr Yasu Kotera at Derby University and Stefan Batorjis, a Forest Bathing guide and trainer.  Dr Kotera gives a useful understanding of how the East and West each view ‘medicine' in quite different ways and he explains the common understanding within cross-cultural psychology that the eastern philosophy of medicine bases it (as claimed by many cross-cultural psychologists such as Nisbett e.g., in his book The Geography of Thought) in a more holistic, less directive manner. So, sit back, put your feet up and prepare to be blown away by how trees and plants provide beneficial chemicals that we breathe in and what positive impact this has upon our immune system. We promise, it'll change the way you view your local green space.  Useful links: Kirsten's paper on UK Forest Bathing What is Shinrin Yoku? Dr Qing Li's book Dr Mayazaki's book Dr Yasu Kotera's paper on Forest Bathing Joanna Bristow Watkins  Forestry England LINK to ParkBathe FILMINSTAGRAMFACEBOOKTWITTERLINKEDINWritten and produced by Vanessa PotterSupport the show (https://www.buymeacoffee.com/VanessaP)

Series 3 has arrived with a super exciting new citizen science health project called ParkBathe ! What is ParkBathe?  Earlier this year I created a new health intervention based on Forest Bathing with Kirsten McEwan, a researcher at Derby University. Kirsten researches Forest Bathing (which is simply mindful walking in nature while absorbing the atmosphere) We combined Kirsten's knowledge of this Eastern social prescription with my own production and meditation advocacy work and created an urban park-based model that is accessible and easy for anyone to learn. We especially wanted to appeal to people who were sceptical of anything that appeared woo-woo or new age. Kirsten and I met when I interviewed her in series 1 (check out her insightful episode on compassion !) and ParkBathe has become a project we are both passionate about. We're grateful to be funded the National Lottery and to have support from the Upper Norwood Library Hub who helped us make this film.  In this first episode we get into exactly what Forest bathing is — because just saying it's ‘mindful walking in nature' doesn't cut the mustard. I explain how losing my sight in 2012 led me to develop to a new relationship with the natural world and how walking in nature was an integral part of my recovery. It was that knowledge that informed this project. Nature benefits us in so many weird and wonderful ways — and we plan to reveal how it does that with the help of nature and forest bathing experts. I was delighted that world renowned scientists such Dr Qing Li and Dr Yoshifumi Miyazaki agreed to share both their research and wisdom on Forest Medicine with me. You'll also hear from some of the ‘ParkBathers' who came on the walks Kirsten and I ran in Crystal Palace Park this autumn so you'll hear for yourself if 1 hour of slow, mindful walking did anything to alleviate their stress and anxiety...If you'd like to experiment with forest bathing for yourself — check out my FREE bonus audio guide that you can use in your local park.  Useful links: Kirsten's paper on UK Forest Bathing What is Shinrin Yoku? Dr Qing Li's book Dr Mayazaki's book Dr Yasu Kotera's paper on Forest Bathing Forestry England INSTAGRAMFACEBOOKTWITTERLINKEDINWritten  and produced by Vanessa Potter.

In anticipation of the soon-to-arrive ParkBathe podcast series, here is an audio guide so you can try out your own forest bathing session. If you've recently experienced one of our ParkBathe sessions in Crystal Palace park, then these instructions will be familiar. If you haven't yet experienced a forest bathing session with us in person, then this guide offers you the opportunity to experiment with forest bathing in your own local urban park. Forest bathing is simply walking slowly in a forest or wooded area while mindfully taking notice of your surroundings and absorbing the atmosphere. No water involved. No wild swimming and no woo woo spirituality. Just hard science-backed wellness that is easy, accessible and deeply relaxing. Simply head to your local green space and start the recording when you reach the entrance — there's a bit of explanation at the start. The guide is flexible to allow for whatever parkland or green environment you are in — but it helps if there are some trees, shrubbery and plants. You can adapt, fast forward, pause or repeat the exercises as you wish and take your time. The exercises are designed to make you slow down (which may feel a little frustrating at first) but we hope they open up your senses and connect you to yourself, your community and the natural environment. Please do tell us if you used this track and how you found it ! we love hearing about your forest bathing experiences. Email us at parkBathe@gmail.com or tag us in social media. There are walks available to book on Nov 14th in Crystal Palace Park and keep an eye out for when the first episode of the ParkBathe Podcast comes out soon ! ParkBathe BookingsNewsletter sign up.

This week Emily and Ray went for a stroll with Isy Suttie in Crystal Palace Park. They chatted about Isy's childhood in Matlock, when she fell in love with her partner, Elis James and her latest novel, Jane Is Trying. See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

Series 3 is a whole new adventure!In March this year I interviewed Kirsten McEwan a health researcher at Derby University about her work using compassion practices (check out the episode) Off-air we ended up chatting about walking, nature and health and that has led to an exciting project called ParkBathe. With my background as a wellbeing author who has just spent 3 years as a human guinea-pig for Cambridge neuroscientists whilst they recorded my brain activity via an EEG headset as I meditated my way through 12 different meditation styles...we felt that between us we knew quite a lot about wellness interventions and that we'd probably make a great team :) Kirsten led the first UK comparison study on Forest Bathing, a prescriptive health intervention develped in Japan in the 1980's. This involves walking slowly and consciously  in ancient woodlands for 2-3 hrs. What's exciting is that ParkBathe is a streamlined, accessible and secular version of this model — involving just 1 hr of slow, guided walking in local parks. We are super excited that over the last few months we have tested the model out (with huge success!) made a film (check it out below) and  won National Lottery funding to roll out a series of mindful walks in Crystal Palace Park this Autumn. And yes, Series 3 will be following what happens. I will also be digging deep into green health, the benefits of being in nature and our relationship with green spaces and why some of us feel separate from nature. We'll also be uncovering some of the hidden mysteries within Crystal Palace Park and exploring the biodiversity that many of us (including me!) walk past. So if you're local to Crystal Palace come along to one of the FREE guided walks. They are open to everyone, but we are particularly keen to invite  people who might not normally engage with a mindful activity. Perhaps you don't see the point, feel that's it's all a bit weird and spiritual – or just not for you. If that is you, or you know someone like that, we'd love to invite you along to test out ParkBathe. You can bring a buddy too! The whole point is that this project is a Citizen Science initiative which means YOU get to test it out and see what works. This will help us finesse the model to make sure it is accessible to everyone — even those who think slow, conscious walking isn't 'their thing'. So, join us at the ParkBathe Facebook community and watch the film we've made all about the project.
