Podcasts about Departure Lounge

Travel Weekly’s annual Power List is a massive undertaking to identify and rank the biggest sellers of travel. And when we say big, we mean big: The minimum for inclusion this year was agencies that sold at least $125 million in travel in 2024. But among the 70 travel agencies that made the cut, which ones grew the most? In this episode we look at Departure Lounge, which moved almost 10 places in the rankings, after joining just last year. Host Rebecca Tobin and retail editor Jamie Biesiada talk with owner Keith Waldon about Departure Lounge’s founding as a travel agency/wine bar/coffee shop and how his experiences at Virtuoso shaped Departure Lounge. We also talk about how to find independent contractors and treat them right; why some advisors are making so much money; and the 2024 landscape and the 2025 prognosis. This episode was recorded July 7 and has been edited for length and clarity.

When UBC acquired a copy of Shakespeare's First Folio in 2021, it was only the first step in an initiative to digitize and improve access to this historic text. In this episode, hosts Carol and Jeevan speak to Dr. Patrick Parra Pennefather, Assistant Professor at UBC Theatre and Film in the Faculty of Arts, about why this acquisition was so important to the university and how emerging technologies including touch tables, mixed reality, and generative AI are enhancing users' interactions with the folio and interpretations of Shakespeare's work.LinksUBC Profile: Dr. Patrick PennefatherDr. Patrick Pennefather: Website The Shakespeare First Folio | UBC Emerging Media Lab | UBC Twitter/X: Carol / JeevanCheck out our full archive of episodes here

As season two reaches its final destination, we separate the fact from fiction in the West's sometimes problematic obsession with noble outlaws. We also reveal what we discovered about the surprsing life of Karen Burns-McCoy following the traumatic aftermath of her husband's 1972 skyjacking. Before it's time to say goodbye for this season, we make one more pass through the DB Cooper vortex, ask an expert about the future of the investigation and give our best guess about the true identity of the legendary mystery man.

No Reply (Tauranga) is stoked to announce the release of their debut single “Departure Lounge” available everywhere on 13 July 2023. No Reply formed in 2022 as a ska cover band playing their favourite hits from the 90's and 2000's. Practices turned into jams of original music and the collaborative process blossomed.  No Reply tries to emphasise the magic of the horn section with catchy pop melodies.  

Departure Lounge is volumetric studio based in Vancouver, Canada that is collaborating with the Monstercat music label to experiment with XR technologies in making both 2D music videos and more volumetric immersive experiences that they were showing at SXSW. The 2D music video for WHIPPED CREAM, Jasiah & Crimson Child - The Dark debuted on February 1st, 2023, and there was a more immersive and interactive translation of this video that debuted at SXSW this year. It was only after I had watched the 2D video when I got home from SXSW that I fully realized why they made some of the experiential design choices in the immersive that they did. As an example, there is a stream of rose pedals that you're instructed to follow in the VR translation, but at one point the volumetric captured performances start showing up behind you and it's ends up being a better experience if you ignore the rose petals. It was only after watching the 2D music video that I realized that they were creating those pedals more as a background context for the 2D video rather than optimized for what would make the most sense in the immersive experience. Also, the more interactive experience tries to make a delicate balance between user agency to move around where ever they'd like versus guiding attention towards the pre-recorded performances that are showing up in specific locations. In many ways, the music video is able to more deliberately guide attention through cutting in a way that was more emotionally-evocative than my immersive experience where I had to navigate being slightly confused, lost, or feeling like I had missed some important story beats that would help to contextualize what was happening. The affordances of film cutting allowed for some more robust and deliberate worldbuilding that I had missed within the immersive translation. So overall, this piece is an experiment in user agency, environmental exploration, and how to seamlessly tie in some of these volumetric assets into a more embodied experience. In some ways, using this type of volumetric capture is a bit overkill for a 2D video production, especially as sometimes the fidelity or quality of those 3D captures projected into a 2D space have even lower resolution and fidelity than what a dedicated 2D-optimized capture pipeline would produce. But the upside is that you have an even more powerful volumetric experience of these performances within the virtual context. So there are a number of tradeoffs between embodiment, agency, emotional valency from more deliberate direction, as well as how to handle the user choices. For the most part there were not very many interesting things to explore in this experience outside of the performances, but I also experienced the immersive version before fully understanding that there was a 2D version that had already been published. There were some behind-the-scenes types of objects laid out in the house before the music video began that I had little to no context for what those objects were or why I should be interested in looking at them. Again, it wasn't until I saw the 2D music video that I realized why they had constructed it in the way that they had. Also, some of the decisions made in the immersive version of the experience made a lot more sense after seeing how they were reusing some of the assets. It's actually a really interesting use case in exploring the affordances of the film medium of the music video versus the immersive version, and how one or the other mediums are prioritized in how it was all put together. I was able to break down the design and creative design of this piece with Brenda Medina (Virtual Producer at Departure Lounge), Yie Hua Chee (Art Director at Departure Lounge), and Will Selviz (immersive director and Partner at RENDRD Media).

When the disciples prepared that Thursday night seder meal, they didn't know it would be their last supper with Jesus. But he knew, and he had some special words for them.

50 Jahre „Dark Side of the Moon" – So alt wird das legendäre Album von Pink Floyd in dieser Woche. Was die Platte von Roger Waters, David Gilmour und Co. so kultig macht, das finden wir in dieser Folge der SWR1 Meilensteine heraus. „The Dark Side of the Moon“ fehlt in quasi keiner der wichtigen Alben-Bestenlisten. Das Rolling Stone Magazin verändert seine „Top 500“ Liste immer mal wieder, aber in den Top 100 findet „Dark Side of the Moon“ immer wieder seinen Platz. Und nicht nur bei der Fachpresse ist das Album mit dem Prisma ein stetiges Thema, sondern auch bei den Fans. Das Album zählt zu den meistverkauften Platten aller Zeiten – natürlich nicht nur wegen des weltberühmten Plattencovers. Und auch nach 50 Jahren verkauft sich das Album auch jetzt noch mehrere tausend Mal pro Woche. Auch das spricht dafür, dass „Dark Side of the Moon" ein absoluter Klassiker ist. Die Idee zum Konzeptalbum „The Dark Side of the Moon“ und der dunklen Seite des menschlichen Daseins entstand bereits 1971 am Küchentisch von Pink-Floyd-Drummer Nick Mason. Dort erzählte Bassist und Sänger Roger Waters von der Idee zum Album, das zwei Jahre später zu einem der erfolgreichsten Alben der Musikgeschichte werden sollte. Beeinflusst wurden Roger Waters und Pink Floyd dazu vermutlich auch durch das Ausscheiden des ehemaligen Sängers Syd Barrett, der bereits 1968 nach diversen Drogeneskapaden die Band verlassen hatte. Aufgenommen wurde „The Dark Side of the Moon“ übrigens gleich doppelt legendär. Zum einen hat sich Pink Floyd für das Album in die legendären Abbey Road Studios eingemietet, in denen zuvor schon die Beatles ihre Songs eingespielt und produziert haben. Und zum anderen saß hinter den Reglern (der heute Prominente) Alan Parsons. „Ich habe jede einzelne Session (für das Album) mit ihnen gemacht. Das wollte ich mit niemandem teilen. Ich habe das komplette Album mit ihnen gemacht.“ – Alan Parsons, im SWR1-Interview über „The Dark Side of the Moon“ __________ Über diese Songs vom Album “The Dark Side of the Moon” wird im Podcast gesprochen 21:37 Mins – „Speak to Me“ 26:05 Mins – „Breathe“ 36:11 Mins – „On the Run“ 42:13 Mins – „Time“ 51:52 Mins – “The Great Gig in the Sky“ __________ Über diese Songs wird außerdem im Podcast gesprochen 30:59 Mins – „All Blues“ von Miles Davis 39:48 Mins – „Sea Lions in the Departure Lounge“ von The Alan Parsons Project __________ Shownotes: Pink Floyd Project – Tribute-Projekt von Podcast Gast Uwe Sicks: https://www.pinkfloydproject.de/ Pink Floyd Project „Another Brick In The Wall“: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xd9JzHfrYjM  Pink Floyd Project spielen „The Dark Side Of The Moon“ (Live auf Formentera): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pwYV5DFKls Das Boxset zum 50-jährigen Jubiläum von „Dark Side of the Moon“: https://www.warnermusic.de/news/50-jahre-the-dark-side-of-the-moon-zum-jubilaeum-erscheint-ein-neues-boxset  Onlineartikel zum Album „Dark Side of the Moon“: https://www.spiegel.de/geschichte/pink-floyd-und-the-dark-side-of-the-moon-a-951078.html Aktuelle Debatte zu Roger Waters: https://www.deutschlandfunk.de/roger-waters-konzertabsage-frankfurt-bds-antisemitismus-100.html  __________ Ihr wollt mehr Podcasts wie diesen?

Lots of attention has been turned to whether this event is healing rifts in the royal family. But do rituals of grief, like funerals, bring families together, or exacerbate existing rifts?  We've talked about quiet quitting on this podcast before in the context of work… but is it possible to quietly quit a relationship?

These days, there seem to be more host agencies than ever. Even before the pandemic, more and more travel advisors were driven to work for themselves as independent contractors (ICs). That was fueled further by Covid-19, which drove many to move their employees to IC status. The pandemic also gave entrepreneurial companies and individuals time to launch new host agencies entirely. But with so many hosts out there, how do you choose the right one? And when it's time to make a change, how do you break up with your current host agency? This week, Trade Secrets co-hosts Emma Weissmann and Jamie Biesiada get into the thick of hosts with Andy Ogg, co-owner of FindaHostTravelAgency.com. This episode is sponsored by Windstar Cruises https://www.windstarcruises.com/. In this episode: 1:15 - Meet our guest, Andy Ogg, of FindaHostTravelAgency.com 1:56 - Travel advisor Nikki compares finding a host agency to dating — you don't have to marry the first host you date 4:30 - How do you learn about host agencies and vet the hosts you're considering affiliating with? 7:10 - Nikki asks: when is it time to look at changing hosts? 11:53 - When you decide to break up with a host, how do you approach that breakup conversation? 14:23 - Heather switched hosts a year ago. She was looking for a bigger host with more training and an affiliation with Virtuoso. The sense of community at her new host, Departure Lounge, was a bonus.  15:48 - Why might one particular consortium affiliation appeal more than others? 18:16 - An agent lives in a state where ICs aren't really protected. They had to walk away from their last host and left a number of commissions behind. What kind of advice does Andy have about actually leaving a host, not just breaking up? 20:13 - Listener Morgan shares some of the questions that she found most helpful the second time she switched hosts (spoiler: there is no such thing as a “perfect” host agency). 22:27 - Andy shares his top tips 24:46 - Which host agency is the best? 27:53 - Have travel advisors ever just decided to start their own host agency?

Apologies for tonight's small missing portion at the start. A corrected file will be posted when available. First, some big case updates. Remember that trust and guidance go together. Believe it or not there is a huge amount happening. Ali's moves and coming indictments seem to be related. That pipeline is full. So many are being thrown under the bus. Desperation is in the air, so be ready for anything. No news now means big news coming. Pray for mercy and redemption. There will be plenty of need for both. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this episode, I chat with world traveller and advocate for tossing your bucket list Heather Greenwood Davis about how to think about and tackle travel now that restrictions are being lifted, and maybe, just maybe we can start returning to the new normal. Next up cookbook author Claire Tansey tells us how to get dinner ready faster than a trip to your favourite frozen food aisle and back. So jet planes, and fast cooking all in this episode. The COVID Departure Lounge In 2011 Heather Greenwood Davis was a successful but miserable litigation lawyer in Toronto. She'd dreamed of travelling the world with her husband Ish and her two sons, Ethan and Cameron. A one year window opened up on that dream and the unhappy Greenwood Davis, family in tow, leapt out of it. What she learned in that year-long journey, about living for now and not deferring your dreams, can serve us well now as we contemplate travel into a world very different from the one we left behind when we shut our doors and donned our masks. You can learn more about Heather here https://heathergreenwooddavis.com Uncomplicated Cooking Now, it's time for a short conversation about living responsibly on our planet, brought to you by Oroweat Organic Bread. Great Taste that's Sustainably Baked. Claire Tansey has been a cook, a baker, a cooking teacher a restaurant critic the Food Director of Chatelaine and a singer in a rock 'n' roll band. Along the way, she's learned to cook in uncomplicated but delicious ways. Her new cookbook, Dinner Uncomplicated unpacks some great ideas about how to cook a meal in less time than it takes to listen to Bohemian Rhapsody and Stairway to Heaven back to back. I talked to Claire about fast cooking and why that can also be sustainable cooking.
