Podcasts about The Early Years

Following fast in the footsteps of Episode 1: "Alvaro Uribe the Early Years and Rise to Power, 1952-1994," Adriaan Alsema of Colombia Reports and myself have now completed Episode 2 for you of this series entitled: "The Hidden History of Alvaro Uribe," part 2.   All Colombia-watchers are well aware of the polarising nature of the former two-time president and so Alsema and I have been putting together this series, citing documentation that is all in the public domain as so many of the actual facts are lost in the incessant noise surrounding Uribe. As events have been moving fast surrounding Uribe and his sentencing last month, Alsema and myself also put out an "explainer episode" which can also be accessed here on Patreon.  The Colombia Briefing is reported by Emily Hart.

Well, we finally made it—Season 5 of Saturday Night Live is here!Join us as we look ahead to the final season of The Early Years of SNL. The end of the original era is marked by seismic changes, both in front of the camera and behind it. Lorne Michaels faces the daunting task of replacing stars Dan Aykroyd AND John Belushi, while simultaneously breathing new life into an exhausted writing staff with fresh voices and perspectives.Worlds removed from its scrappy beginnings just a few years earlier, SNL is now bigger than ever—yet paradoxically struggles to remain relevant and cutting-edge. Cast members are juggling movie deals, writers are plotting their exit strategies, and for the first time in the show's history, it faces competition from rival programming.The magic and chaos that defined the beginnings of SNL has reached its crescendo and we're here to see it fight to cross the finish line. As we bring The Early Years to its close, we'll unpack the creative tensions, behind-the-scenes drama, and cultural shifts that make Season 5 not only a vital part of the original era's story but the legacy of Saturday Night Live as a whole.It's been quite a ride.

We're going back to Season 1 of SNL to revisit a sorely underrated outing with Anthony Perkins, of Psycho fame. But he is far more talented than many remember because in addition to his dual roles in Psycho, he was also one of the stars of a 1975 film Brad and Gary discuss and let's not forget that in the late 50's he was a teen idol! It's really fun to go back to this episode when the show was starting to gain its footing and really come into its own. And that's just Saturday Night Live.The podcast is also hitting its stride at this point as Brad turns over a new leaf and can't wait to share his new attitude with the world! We'll leave it to the listeners to decide if he has maintained this attitude all these years later. Hope you enjoy the show. Be sure to come back next week for our Season 5 Preview show!---------------------------------Subscribe today!Follow us on social media: X (Twitter): NR4PTProjectBluesky: nr4ptproject.bsky.socialInstagram: nr4ptprojectFacebook: The Not Ready for Prime Time ProjectContact Us: Website: https://www.nr4project.comEmail: nr4ptproject@gmail.com

Homeschooling isn't just about academics.  It's about shaping character, habits, and family culture in the everyday moments.  In this conversation with Erin from Gentle + Classical Press, we talk about what the early years can look like without the pressure of early academics, how to raise children who know how to use their free time well, and why consistency matters more than perfection.  You'll hear encouragement for the overwhelmed mom, perspective on kids' different personalities, and practical ways to build a gentle and classical foundation in your home.

Are England's youngest children getting the best possible start? Or are too many beginning school already behind?One of the government's five ‘missions' is to break down barriers to opportunity by tackling inequalities in early childhood. Its ‘Best Start in Life' strategy aims for 75% of children to reach a ‘good level of development' by age five - but with only 68% meeting that bar today, how ambitious is that goal, and what will it take to get there?In this episode of IFS Zooms In, Helen Miller is joined by Christine Farquharson (Associate Director, IFS) and Carey Oppenheim (Nuffield Foundation) to discuss:Why the early years matter for long-term outcomesThe role of childcare, parenting and home environmentWhat the evidence says works to close development gapsHow government policy can (and can't) deliver change

Nick Terrones (he/him) and Mike Browne (he/him) are joined once again by special guest Toi Sing-Woo (she/her) for a conversation about what it means to plant seeds of liberation in the earliest years of learning. We talk about the daily work of unlearning white comfort in the classroom, the survival strategies BIPOC educators carry, and how we can reclaim the play we were meant to have—in our classrooms, community spaces, and kitchens. Rooted in Chumash, Afro-Caribbean, and Hong Kong lineages, we imagine early learning grounded in land, cultural memory, and collective freedom.Why?Because the future of early learning depends on how bravely we remember, and how boldly we reimagine.Interested in bringing Nick and Mike to your community?

Sol Price is the most influential retailer you've never heard of. A man who never sought the spotlight, but whose legacy and lessons cover the entire landscape of modern retail. Have you ever wondered why you can still buy a hot dog and soda for $1.50 today at Costco? We can thank Sol Price for that. To him, keeping promises to customers mattered more than profit margins. Sam Walton said he borrowed more ideas from Sol Price than anyone else. Jim Sinegal of Costco said, “I didn't learn a lot from Sol. I learned everything.” Jeff Bezos studied him.

One of our favorite aspects of revisiting The Early Years of SNL has been examining the so-called "trainwrecks" and legendary "banned" guests that have become part of the show's mythology. We got our first real taste of this at the end of Season 1 with the infamous summer episode hosted by Louise Lasser, featuring The Preservation Hall Jazz Band as musical guest.History has branded Lasser as one of the worst hosts in Saturday Night Live's 50-year run—a reputation largely cemented by Lorne Michaels' decision to keep this episode out of reruns for decades. With only secondhand accounts and show lore to go on, the episode's notoriety grew in the shadows. But is the reputation deserved?Granted, this episode has its problems. While there are many issues to unpack, the blame extends far beyond just the host. What we can say definitively is this: it's not even the worst episode of THE SEASON.We're joined, for the first time, by Andy Hoglund from SNL in Review as we sift through the big swings, bold choices, and questionable decisions (across the board) that make this one of the most talked-about episodes in the show's history.This episode was originally released on August 29, 2023.---------------------------------Subscribe today!Follow us on social media: X (Twitter): NR4PTProjectBluesky: nr4ptproject.bsky.socialInstagram: nr4ptprojectFacebook: The Not Ready for Prime Time ProjectContact Us: Website: https://www.nr4project.comEmail: nr4ptproject@gmail.com

Today we're joined by Pauline Martinot, a medical doctor who specialises in child health and prevention. Dr Martinot pursued a research career in cognitive neurosciences on the developing child and did her PhD at NeuroSpin CEA Paris Saclay. Today, she works as an AI medical and scientific Director at Doctolib in France. Dr Martinot is also the lead author of the groundbreaking study that points to the first year of school as the time and place where a maths gender gap emerges in favour of boys. The results of this study were published in the paper titled Rapid emergence of a maths gender gap in first grade, published in Nature last month. The paper reports the results of a 4-year longitudinal assessment of language and mathematical performance of all French first and second graders, representing over 2.6 million children. The researchers found that boys and girls exhibited very similar maths scores upon school entry, but a maths gender gap in favour of boys became highly significant after just 4 months of schooling and reached an effect size of about 0.20 after one year. In this episode, Dr Martinot joins us on the line from France to share how her colleagues went about conducting the study, some more key findings, and the impact of this research on schools and teachers around the world.

Another VINTAGE episode of The Early Years of SNL this week as we take a look back at Eric Idle's first time hosting Saturday Night Live early in Season 2. With the help of musical guest Joe Cocker (and Stuff), the Monty Python legend's outing delivers one of the best shows of the original era.Top to bottom, this is a great episode. While it leans heavily on Idle and feels very reminiscent of all things Python, there are still plenty of classic SNL moments that stand out—including Baba Wawa, The Bees, and John Belushi doing his Joe Cocker impression alongside the real Joe Cocker during the musical performance. If that wasn't enough, this is also the episode that introduced us to "The Rutles."We were joined by our "English Correspondent," Thomas Sena, making his second appearance on the podcast to help break down this Python-meets-SNL masterpiece.This episode was originally released on October 17th, 2023.---------------------------------Subscribe today!Follow us on social media: X (Twitter): NR4PTProjectBluesky: nr4ptproject.bsky.socialInstagram: nr4ptprojectFacebook: The Not Ready for Prime Time ProjectContact Us: Website: https://www.nr4project.comEmail: nr4ptproject@gmail.com

In this first of four captivating episodes, FORE the Good of the Game welcomes legendary CBS Sports producer and 13-time Emmy Award winner Lance Barrow for a deep dive into his remarkable journey in sports broadcasting. While not a professional golfer himself, Barrow has arguably delivered more iconic moments to golf fans than anyone behind a camera—and his stories are as entertaining as the broadcasts he helped shape.Hosts Bruce Devlin and Mike Gonzalez set the stage with Barrow's roots in Fort Worth, Texas, where a childhood spent around the dairy farm and local courses like Diamond Oaks and Colonial Country Club sparked a lifelong passion for sports. Lance recounts how, as a wide-eyed high schooler, he hustled his way into a job with ABC Sports by bluffing his way through TV production lingo—and never looked back.Barrow shares humorous and heartfelt memories of working with broadcasting greats like Pat Summerall and John Madden, painting a vivid picture of what it was like to ride the bus across the country with Madden and be mentored by giants of the industry. His stories shine a light on the people and values that shaped modern sports coverage—and his reflections on growing up in small-town Texas during the golden age of Friday night football are pure Americana.This episode is more than just a look behind the scenes—it's a celebration of storytelling, mentorship, and the enduring spirit of the game. Whether you're a fan of golf, football, or television history, you won't want to miss this intimate introduction to one of broadcasting's true originals.Subscribe now and join us as we begin an unforgettable four-part conversation with Lance Barrow—one of the great storytellers of sports.Give Bruce & Mike some feedback via Text.Support the showFollow our show and/or leave a review/rating on: Our Website https://www.forethegoodofthegame.com/reviews/new/ Apple Podcasts https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/fore-the-good-of-the-game/id1562581853 Spotify Podcasts https://open.spotify.com/show/0XSuVGjwQg6bm78COkIhZO?si=b4c9d47ea8b24b2d About "FORE the Good of the Game” is a golf podcast featuring interviews with World Golf Hall of Fame members, winners of major championships and other people of influence in and around the game of golf.

No Economic Block on Irish UnityIn recent years there have been encouraging signs of growing support for Irish unity in successive electoral results, demographic changes, contributions from civic society, in opinion polling and in public commentary. Unsurprisingly, any debate on unity quickly focuses on practical issues like the economic viability of a united Ireland as well as on the future of a health and care system, governance structures, education, the environment and other matters.Sinn Féin's Commission on the Future of Ireland recently held a successful conference examining the issue of health in a new Ireland and the party produced a widely welcomed health and care document looking to a future all-island model. It is available at  https://sinnfein.ie/the-case-for-an-irish-national-health-and-care-service/And now we have the report by Professor John Doyle of Dublin City University – ‘The Projected Public Finances of the Early Years of a United Ireland, and the Northern Ireland Subvention.' The report is the product of joint research by Dublin City University and Ulster University's Economic Policy Centre. It succeeds in cutting through much of the jargon associated with economics to present a cogent explanation of the economic benefits of a united Ireland.The Future of the GPOMicheál Martin's ten-year plan for the GPO site in Dublin is shameful. His effort to sell the plan as a flagship project for Dublin City Centre, that will protect the historic and cultural significance of the GPO, was described by the Irish Times as “vague and ill-defined.” Mary Lou McDonald and others have been much more vocal and direct in their condemnation of the government's plans. Martin's proposal, for example, that the upper floors of the GPO will be turned into office space, makes no sense when much of the available office space in central Dublin is currently unused and vacant.The reality is that the GPO holds a special place in the nation's soul. It may have been a Post Office for all of its two hundred years but it is more than just another of those Dublin buildings that reflect the capitals colonial past. It is acknowledged by generations of Irish people as the birthplace of the Republic, as envisaged in the Proclamation. For over one hundred years it has symbolised the hopes, aspirations and vision of that historic document and of the courage of the men and women who risked everything in April 1916.World Premier in Galway of ‘A Ballymurphy Man'This weekend I will be in Galway for the 37th annual international Galway Film Fleadh/Festival.

In this first episode of our special four-part conversation with LPGA major champion Donna Andrews, we tee off with a deep dive into her early years and the foundations that shaped a life in golf. A seven-time LPGA Tour winner and Dinah Shore major champion, Donna joins Mike Gonzalez and Bruce Devlin to reflect on her roots in Lynchburg, Virginia, and the vibrant, active upbringing that planted the seeds of her athletic success.From childhood memories of biking, hiking, and long days at the country club, to becoming a standout multi-sport athlete in high school, Donna shares how competing with her brothers—and later on a boys' high school golf team—toughened her resolve and sharpened her competitive edge.

Bob Sundquist takes us on a captivating journey through the turbulent founding story of the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod—a tale far more complex and human than most church histories acknowledge. Moving beyond simplified narratives of heroes and villains, Sundquist reveals how the first "celebrity pastor" of the LCMS, Martin Stephan, led 700 Saxon immigrants to America in 1838 only to face accusations and eventual exile across the Mississippi River.This conversation reveals how historical understanding helps us navigate present church tensions between pastoral and congregational authority.• History is fundamentally about storytelling and understanding people, not just memorizing dates• Martin Stephan was the first "celebrity pastor" of the LCMS whose leadership eventually created a crisis• The accusations against Stephan of sexual impropriety likely had no concrete evidence but were used to remove him• C.F.W. Walther developed Lutheran understanding of church authority through the trauma of Stephan's removal• Pastors should focus primarily on Word and Sacrament ministry rather than business management• The LCMS has historically had a hyper-fixation on the Office of Ministry as a result of early traumas• Walther's "Duties of an Evangelical Lutheran Synod" (1879) offers wisdom for contemporary church conflicts• The Missouri Synod repeats the same resolutions without taking action, indicating unresolved tensionsSupport the showJoin the Lead Time Newsletter!
