In December 1974 we spent a couple of minutes on the phone with Byron MacGregor. He was a Canadian radio-TV newsman. This year he received a Legends Induction into the Radio Hall of Fame. In 1973 Byron read a Toronto newspaper editorial written by Gordon Sinclair. He read the article on the air and got such a tremendous response that he decided to make a recording of the piece. The record “Americans” was voiced by MacGregor and backed by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra with their version of “America the Beautiful.” It was a hit on the Billboard charts and sold nearly 4 million copies. All of the proceeds were donated to the Red Cross. You'll hear that record at the end of this conversation.

Shoot us a Text.We've got that Friday feeling as we cover a new KPMG survey that reveals Americans powertrain preferences. We also talk about a Democrat Senator slamming a failed EV charging program, as well as an epic celebration as Ford opens its train station renovation. Show Notes with links:A recent KPMG study reveals that Americans still favor gas vehicles over hybrids or EVs, even when prices and features are the same. Only 20% of respondents would choose an EV over gas or hybrid vehicles.60% of US consumers want EV charging times of 20 minutes or less, while 41% of auto executives think longer times are acceptable.Consumers prioritize safety, WiFi, and charging locators over self-driving features and in-car entertainment.The preference for gas vehicles persists despite a global push for EV adoption, causing automakers like Ford, GM, and Mercedes to rethink their EV strategies. Democratic senator Jeff Merkley has been very vocal in his criticism of the progress of a $5-billion U.S. government program to deploy EV-charging stations which has only seven EV-charging stations operating under the program that was initiated back in 2021.Senator Merkley has labeled the progress as a "vast administrative failure" and is calling for corrective action as he said "That is pathetic. We're now three years into this ...Shailen Bhatt, head of the Federal Highway Administration, acknowledges the slow progress and cites states dealing with multiple programs as a contributing factor.Merkley also criticizes existing rules that prevent EV-charging stations at rest stops.Energy Secretary Jennifer Granholm expects about 1,000 stations to be operational by year-end and are still aiming for 500,000 nationwide…there are currently about 183kMichigan Central Station's six-year makeover concluded with an all-Detroit concert produced by Eminem, drawing thousands to the historic venue.The concert featured performances by Jack White, Diana Ross, Big Sean, and other Detroit stars, celebrating the station's transformation.Eminem surprised the audience by performing with the Detroit Symphony Orchestra, followed by collaborations with Jelly Roll and Trick Trick.The show concluded with Eminem's hit "Not Afraid," as he expressed his love for Detroit.The station's restoration was part of a $950 million project, transforming it into a hub for Ford employees and public spaces.Hosts: Paul J Daly and Kyle MountsierGet the Daily Push Back email at https://www.asotu.com/ JOIN the conversation on LinkedIn at: https://www.linkedin.com/company/asotu/ Read our most recent email at: https://www.asotu.com/media/push-back-email

In the annals of automotive innovation, November 28th, 2018 marked a peculiar milestone: the birth of the Lincoln Chimes. The brainchild of Jennifer Prescott, overseer of "Vehicle Harmony" at the motor company, this warning system replaced the synthetic sound of in-car emergency alerts with a blend of violin, viola, and marimba played by The Detroit Symphony Orchestra. Lincoln's endeavour followed in the wake of Bentley revamping its alert and indicator sounds, drawing inspiration from the gentle ticking of a grandfather clock - but cars are not the only luxury products to dabble in ‘sonic branding'. From computer startup chimes to the noise accompanying credit card transactions, there's a soundscape of jingles which have become an integral part of our conditioned understanding of products and experiences. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly discover how NBC were the first company to trademark  a sound; check out MasterCard's deviation into recorded music; and reveal just how many drafts Brian Eno went through before settling on his final start-up sound for Windows95… Further Reading: • ‘Why Big Brands Are Using Sonic Signatures To Reach Consumers' (Forbes, 2018): https://www.forbes.com/sites/jenniferhicks/2019/05/08/why-big-brands-are-using-sonic-signatures-to-reach-consumers/?sh=35f5b651d39c • ‘Inside Mastercard's ‘10-layer' sonic branding plan' (Marketing Brew, 2022): https://www.marketingbrew.com/stories/2022/10/17/inside-mastercard-s-10-layer-sonic-branding-plan • ‘2019 Lincoln Aviator chimes recorded by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra' (Wheel Network, 2018): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X7uZ27Uzgsk Love the show?

Molly MacDonald was diagnosed with breast cancer 18 years ago, 3 years into her marriage with her husband Tom Pettit and founded Pink Fund out of her experience. This year Tom was diagnosed with tonsil cancer, and Molly has become the caregiver. This episode takes a look at the couple's role reversal, how family relationships shift after a cancer diagnosis and the wake-up call you receive when you are facing your own mortality or that of your loved one. Molly and Tom are equal parts insightful and hilarious in sharing their experience as both patients and caregivers, and how Molly has shifted from the “Patient from Hell” to the “Caregiver from Hell.” Key Highlights: How family dynamics and perspectives change after a cancer diagnosis. As a caregiver, recognizing that patients need to make the ultimate decision about their treatment and goals. The ripple effect that our choices have in creating a future we never expected. About our guests: Molly MacDonald is co-founder and CEO of Pink Fund, a nonprofit that provides three to six months of financial support for women and families in active breast cancer treatment. Pink Fund was born 17 years ago out of MacDonald's own experience as a mother of 5 struggling to make ends meet during her breast cancer diagnosis. Prior to founding Pink Fund, MacDonald had an extensive career in journalism, public relations, marketing, and sales. She is a frequent columnist and contributing writer for health journals publications. Tom Pettit is a professional piano technician by trade, with 40 years of experience on the concert stage providing and tuning pianos for renowned performing artists. He spent 25 years with The Detroit Symphony Orchestra. His fine auditory skills have made him in high demand for some of the world's most acclaimed pianists. He is co-founder of Pink Fund and serves in the role of Comptroller working with Pink Fund's accountant, auditors, and lawyer. Key Moments: 25 minutes: On keeping the patient at the center of decisions as a caregiver. “I know it's hard for the caregiver, but I think the patient needs to be in charge. When I had my breast cancer and was told I had two options, a full mastectomy and no radiation or a lumpectomy and radiation. And I asked my surgeon, ‘If it were you, what would you do?' And she said, ‘The thing is, it's not me. And I can't be responsible for your choice.' So it is not me, and I really cannot thrust something on Tom because I don't want to be responsible for the outcome of his decision.” 45 minutes: On how Molly's choice for cancer treatment created a movement. “Sometimes I wonder, even though the biopsy came back that it was showing cancer, even though it was Stage 0 and hadn't formed a tumor. Sometimes I wonder if I'd elected to do nothing, if nothing would have happened. But if nothing would have happened, and I'd elected that, then there would be no Pink Fund. Because we wouldn't have gone through this experience together where we experienced financial toxicity, and where I met other working women who were going to stop treatment and go back to work because their treatment was going to outlast their FMLA, and they couldn't afford to lose their jobs.” Visit the Manta Cares website  Disclaimer: This podcast is for general informational purposes only and does not constitute the practice of medicine, nursing or other professional health care services, including the giving of medical advice, and no doctor/patient relationship is formed.

Pablo Helguera is an world-renown artist, performer, cartoonist, poet, writer, author of several books, advice columnist, The Estheticist, lecturer/educator, a professor at the New School, father, husband and he can sing and write songs! To understand Pablo and his work, you really need to listen to this episode of how he has evolved into the artist he's become. Pablo was born in 1971 in Mexico City to a family of classical musicians. His brother, 9 years older, was a poet and a philosopher. Pablo describes how his day to day, his brother was teaching him, opening his mind and having him read all this heavy philosophy shit at a young age. So while you were playing Nintendo, he was reading Nietzsche. All of this powerful and unusual education helped create a precocious young man. When Pablo was still in his twenties, he was awarded a Creative Capital Grant to realize his project: School of Panamerican Unrest. The core of the project consisted of a traveling schoolhouse which made 30 stops between the U.S. state of Alaska and Chile's Antártica Chilena province between May and September 2006, following the entire length of the Pan-American Highway. Pablo's unlimited, curiosity, drive and generous desire to connect with so many disparate communities makes for an extremely compelling Dr. Lisa session like nothing I've ever heard. You can enjoy Pablo's latest project, Beautiful Eccentrics HERE.

Helguera's work focuses in a variety of topics ranging from history, pedagogy, sociolinguistics, ethnography, memory and the absurd, in formats that are widely varied including the lecture, museum display strategies, musical performances and written fiction. His work as an educator has usually intersected his interest as an artist. This intersection is best exemplified in his project, “The School of Panamerican Unrest”, a nomadic think-tank that physically crossed the continent by car from Anchorage, Alaska to Tierra del Fuego, making 40 stops in between. Covering almost 20,000 miles, it is considered one of the most extensive public art projects on record as well as a pioneering work for the new generation of artworks regarded under the area of socially engaged art. Pablo Helguera performed individually at the Museum of Modern Art /Gramercy Theater, in 2003, where he showed his work “Parallel Lives”. His musical composition, “Endingness” has been performed by the Detroit Symphony Orchestra. Helguera has exhibited or performed at venues internationally too many to name…His work has been reviewed in …. Art in America, Artforum, The New York Times, ArtNews, amongst others. In 2008 he was awarded too many to name Helguera has worked since 1991 in a variety of contemporary art museums, most recently as head of public programs at the Education department of the Guggenheim Museum in New York (1998-2005). From 2007 to 2020, he was Director of Adult and Academic programs at the Museum of Modern Art, New York. He has organized close to 1000 public events in conjunction with nearly 100 exhibitions. In 2010 he was appointed pedagogical curator of the 8th Mercosul Biennial in Porto Alegre, Brazil, which took place in September, 2011.

R&SRNR_173 – “40 LOST INSTRUMENTAL HITS OF THE 1960s” Hundreds of instrumentals became hits during the 1960s, but only a handful are still heard these days. We've identified “40 Lost Instrumental Hits Of The 1960s.” These include melodies that were inspired by or used in Hollywood movies, television shows, and national advertising campaigns. Many of the acts we're featuring in this episode were professionally connected with Elvis Presley, Otis Redding, and the Beatles.  One group recorded with the same producer and in the same studio as Buddy Holly. Another combined members of the Detroit Symphony Orchestra with the Motown Records in-house studio backup band. Our resident Rockologist, Ken Deutsch, will be along with lots of fun factoids – plus the inside scoop on how radio disc jockeys back in the 1960s used instrumentals in a special way. It's all part of the greatest rock & roll stories on record.  Hear it all here.

In this special episode, my brother explains the difference between tone, pitch, and inflection to help you improve your voice. In 2017, Yale did a study that confirmed that your voice can change your life. They found that what makes you believe someone, like someone, and trust someone is the sound of their voice. Last episode we talked about the 7-38-55 rule (listen here): only 7% of all communication is done through verbal communication (the words), whereas the nonverbal component, such as tonality of our voice and body language, comprise 38% and 55% respectively.Three tips to improve your voice:Speak on the exhale, not the inhaleFind your maximum resonance point (Vanessa Van Edwards video here)Speak at a moderately fast pace (195 words per minute) - slow talkers are perceived as less intelligent and credible (around 100 WPM)About the guest:David Binder joined the Detroit Symphony Orchestra as Second Trombone in September 2015 and also regularly performs with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra, the Grand Teton Music Festival, the Detroit Chamber Winds and Strings, and Music of the Baroque (Chicago).
