Podcast appearances and mentions of Ed Stewart

In 1977, Ed Stewart was a happy-go-lucky teenager with his whole life ahead of him. With a new engineering job, a girlfriend and a motorbike, life was good. But when he dropped in on a friend's party, a violent row with another teenager - who was carrying a shotgun - turned Ed's whole life on its head. Ed had to learn to navigate the world in an entirely different way, but he made a success of it - becoming a piano tuner to the stars and counting Jools Holland and Brian Ferry as his customers. Despite a life of adversity, he tells Dr Sian Williams how not just one, but two Life Changing moments led him to be what he refers to as a “glass-three-quarters-full” kind of bloke.

Stewart notes that Derby, his longtime partner who died in 2013–and […] The post Ed Stewart, co-founder, president and CEO of the Performing Animal Welfare Society (PAWS) first appeared on Talking Animals.

Ed Stewart graduated from West Virginia Weslayan College with a bachelor of arts in theatrical direction and design. Ed served the US Space and Rocket Center as the Director of Exhibits and Curation for almost nine years before becoming the full time Curator in May of 2023.

In a special edition of my podcast this week, Craig Braddick has interviewed me to talk about growing up in the 1980s with Radio 1 and then with Radio 2 into the 90s and beyond, and how being a contestant on Blockbusters guided me towards my own broadcasting career. I talk about the significance of 1981 – the year I started listening to Radio 1 – and Bucks Fizz winning Eurovision and how, during my schooldays, the charts on a Sunday mattered in the school playground. We also talk about whether the presenters of the day really represented what was going on in the wider world and whether there was a patriarchal streak to broadcasting in that era. I talk about who my favourite presenters were in those days, including the impact of Adrian John who was a presenter in the 1980s who really understood his audience. We talk about my childhood diary entries and what it contains about my radio interests, and how I used to include information about the DJ and the artists who were on Top of the Pops each week. We also talk about DJ handovers both on radio and on TOTP, and of the presenters who perhaps didn't always get on (famously Tony Blackburn and John Peel). We reflect on whether for listeners there is a particular ‘golden era' and whether some of the Radio 1 DJs in the 80s thought that they were more important than the music, and we refer to the way some presenters were delegated. We talk about the way they were caricatured in the Smashie and Nicey mode. We then move on to discuss what happened with Radio 2's evolution in the 1980s and how different the station was in those days from today, and how David Hamilton's perceptions of the station in the 80s and now are diametrically opposite.  I talk about how much I enjoyed the guests on Gloria Hunniford's show on Radio 2 in the afternoons in the early 90s when I was at university. I refer to the line between education and entertainment as being blurred and how those in-depth conversations were an inspiration for my Nostalgia podcast. We talk about Jimmy Young's news and current affairs career and how the iconic JY was perhaps in some ways evoking a different era. We then speak about my experience of appearing as a contestant on Blockbusters and of meeting Bob Holness, and how it came as a surprise to my school peers that I got on the show in the first place. Craig askes me about my radio heroes, and I talk about Ed Stewart and how he died before he had a chance to read what I had written about him in a book I wrote about Christmas. We refer to Stewpot's radio personality and whether he would have fitted a different sort of genre of broadcasting. I reflect, too, on the female presenters who have influenced me, including Sarah Kennedy, and the contrast in broadcasting style with Chris Evans. I tell Craig about how I tend to gravitate to more introverted presenters and how radio and university teaching cross over in unexpected ways. Then, at the end of the interview Craig asks me what in ten years' time I think I am going to be listening to on the radio.

In this episode of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde talk about the Trojans kicking off USC Fall Camp and what they would like to see accomplished by Lincoln Riley and his coaching staff.  They start off the show going over the latest news, with the USC athletic department making a new hire. Big 12 executive associate commissioner Ed Stewart, a former All-American and national championship winning linebacker from Nebraska, joins Mike Bohn's department as Executive Senior Associate Athletic Director for Football Administration. They also acknowledge the enshrinement of Tony Boselli into the NFL Hall of Fame, USC's 14th NFL Hall of Famer, the most by any program. Boselli was the No. 2 overall pick in 1995 and the first ever pick for the Jacksonville Jaguars.  Turning to fall camp, Coach Hyde talks about this team coming together and becoming an entirely new family. He loves that the squad is having early practices in the Coliseum, giving the players and coaches an opportunity to connect with the great tradition of the program and workout on the field that created so many legends (like Boselli). He wasn't as fond of some of the early morning practices, but Riley told us this week it was a good opportunity to mix things up for the players and sometimes getting your work done early opens up the rest of the day for other activities.  The big question for Hyde is how Riley can change the face of the program so quickly, something that will be difficult to do but needs to be done. He says that on the practice field it won't just be the coaches evaluating the players, it will be the players evaluating each other. It should ramp up competition for spots on the depth chart and according to the coach, “Everyday is game day because you will be competing for your job.” The guys also talk about the increased depth on the team, allowing Riley to have the best players go against the best players in practice, ramping up the competition in the workouts.

Even when you know it's the right thing to do, it still hurts   Even though Will got ten more years of doting attention by his keepers, than nature would have given him, it's still hard to say, “good bye.”   When Will was found in August 2007 he was only a month old, but we knew right away that something was seriously wrong with him.  We hoped it was just that he was sick and starved; abandoned by his mother, and that with a little TLC he'd recover into the hissing spitfire that all wild bobcats are.  He gained weight and grew a glossy coat to match his beautiful, shiny eyes, but he never developed a bobcat personality.   We thought he was blind because of his docile, non inquisitive nature, so experts in neurology and ophthalmology visited with him over the years.  The function of his eyes was fine, but there was just something missing in the translation to his brain.  He would walk into walls and just always seemed to be in his own little world.   That worked for him until about a year ago when his health began to decline.  Vets tried every imaginable combination of drugs and supplements to keep him strong, but in these last few weeks, we have had to start poking him with needles to keep him hydrated and while he tolerates it, he doesn't like it.  Who would?   If we keep him in the Cat Hospital he will eat enough of the watery gruel we make to keep him hydrated, but when he goes back outside he won't eat well enough to survive.  We have been watching him closely, with CCTV, to make sure he isn't suffering and what we have found is that we just can't know how much pain he's in because he just doesn't behave like a normal cat.   What we do know is that we've exhausted every course of veterinary care for him and he's never going to get better.  If his whole life is comprised of living in a small cage, where his irritable bowel syndrome results in soiled bedding every couple hours, then that's just not a life worth living.  Coming to the decision that it was time to end his suffering was especially hard because he does eat OK, in that environment.  The issue is that we just can't tell what his experience is because he doesn't show any emotion.   To touch him was to make the final decision for him.  He isn't grooming and he's just skin and bones, despite his food consumption.   You could just feel the lifelessness in him and cutting the fine cord that bridged the difference in this world and the next felt like the right thing to do.   Will has always been “special” and like Mrs. Claws, who also isn't quite right in the head, it makes us feel that much more protective of them.  Letting go is hard and leaves us all feeling like there must have been something more we could have done.   Why did we cooperate with a zoo? This is Howie's version of my letter, which became the public record.  Good thing I have such an excellent press secretary.   Some of you think I've lost my mind, or lost my way, and have asked me to explain why we would accept Manny Jaguar and Nat Leopard from a zoo and not require them to give up having any exotic cats.  I wish I could say this in a sound bite that's easy to share with those asking you this question, but like most things that are important, it just can't be explained without painting the full picture.   In the last issue of our Big Cat Times we published an article talking about the accelerating and exciting positive evolution of how society is viewing the treatment of exotic animals. We drew an analogy to the decades long struggle for women's suffrage 100 years ago that started with a few “crazies” who were ridiculed, beaten, and jailed. Over a period of 72 years support at first grew slowly, then accelerated.  Finally their ideas became mainstream and they prevailed with the 1920 Constitutional Amendment.  The article talked about how this same pattern was repeating itself in the arena of animal welfare and gave examples.    The AZA is slowly becoming part of that evolution. While there are unfortunate exceptions, in general they are enormously different from the unaccredited roadside zoos in the quality of animal care.  But what is more important is that within their ranks are zoos that are becoming more and more progressive.  A very brave early example was the dramatic conclusion by the Detroit Zoo that the limited space they had available was not a suitable environment for elephants and the decision, very controversial within the zoo community, to move their two elephants to the PAWS sanctuary in California in 2005.   Other examples include (1) AZA finally in 2011 adopting a formal position against breeding and acquiring white tigers, a position Big Cat Rescue had been a leading proponent of for over a decade, (2) Oakland Zoo taking in rescued animals, and, (3) IMPORTANTLY, AZA officially endorsing the Big Cat Public Safety Act for the first time this year. That being said, when there are zoos within AZA we view as bad actors like the Houston Aquarium where four tigers reportedly have no outdoor space, or Columbus Zoo taking animals onto late night talks shows, we will speak out aggressively.   Our vision continues to be a world where big cats do not live in cages.  We have just recently embarked on an exciting effort to create virtual reality video of big cats that we hope over time will be an experience that people will so much prefer to gawking at animals in cages that there will be no market incentive to keep big cats in cages.  But, in the meantime, we need to remember the historical examples of how societal change occurs by persisting over time to build momentum and keep fostering the evolution that we do now see so dramatically accelerating.   Even within the good sanctuary community there are different philosophies and practices.  What has been wonderful to see in recent years is the good sanctuaries focusing not on those differences, but on what we have in common, and working together. It has helped foster the accelerating evolution we are seeing in society's perception of captive exotic animals.   My goal is a world where all wildcats live free. The lesson of history is that the kind of major change in societal thinking that is required to make that happen takes place in gradual steps. Despite clear differences between sanctuaries and AZA zoos, working with the more progressive zoos on areas we have in common and establishing relationships and dialog with those zoos, both on our federal bill and in specific instances like the need for a home for Manny and Nat, is just one more way to help foster that evolution. While at first glance to some it understandably appears to be an exception to our normal practice, when you look at the bigger picture, it is entirely consistent with achieving our long terms goals for the cats.   This is the article Howie wrote about women's suffrage:   WHY IS THE STRUGGLE FOR WOMEN'S SUFFRAGE 100 YEARS AGO LIKE THE BATTLE TO STOP ABUSE OF BIG CATS? By Howard Baskin   Frequently in this publication or on our website or in our email newsletter and alerts you learn about victories in our war against exploitation and abuse of big cats. We report a local, state or federal law that passed, or report how your help emailing a company or a venue caused them to stop allowing cub petting on their property or stop using big cats in an advertisement for their products. In this issue I'd like to take a moment to stand back and look at what is happening from the “30,000 foot” level because what is happening is very exciting and it is easy to get lost in the weeds of the individual victories and not think about the bigger picture.   First let's set aside the big cat issue for a moment and think about how a society's values evolve over time. If we look at past examples, what do we find? We find a tiny minority, often led by one or more driven, persistent, and sometimes charismatic people, who give voice to a viewpoint that is not the prevailing view. We see them ridiculed, castigated, arrested and/or subjected to physical violence. Usually the small band of “crazies” grows slowly, sometimes over decades. Then, somewhere along the way, there is a tipping point. The number of people who share their viewpoint starts growing exponentially until it becomes the new, different view of the society.   Today of course we take a woman's right to vote for granted.  It is almost hard to imagine in our society today a time when it was not so. But we tend to forget that it was less than 100 years ago, i.e. 1920, that a Constitutional Amendment granted that right to vote to people that opponents of suffrage called “irrational.”   The struggle to earn the right to vote for women seems to me to be a vivid example of how a society's values evolve. The first women's rights convention organized by Elizabeth Cady Stanton and Lucretia Mott in 1848 is generally cited as the beginning of the movement. In the 1890's the movement picked up steam. Toward the end of the century and into the 1910's a few states granted women the right to vote. Opposition was fierce, including opposition by many women. The rest is history. While there will always be a minority view on any issue, today it is hard to imagine anyone arguing against the right of women to vote.   It was a movie about a different societal change that actually first got me thinking about this. The movie is Amazing Grace and if you have not seen it, I strongly encourage you to do so. Not the movie, of course, for those who need a car chase and gunfire to like a movie.  ☺   Amazing Grace is the decades long story of the campaign by William Wilberforce to end slavery in the British Commonwealth. In it you see exactly what I mentioned above – a small band of “crazies” ridiculed, persistent in the face of what seems at times to be no progress, the idea catching on and accelerating, and his eventual acclaim as a hero.   What has all this got to do with captive big cats? When we stand back from the individual victories and look at the big picture, what we at Big Cat Rescue feel we are seeing is that we have reached the tipping point. We are seeing example after example that shows that the view that exotic animals should not be exploited for profit and entertainment is not now just a view held only by a minority of animal advocates.  It is rapidly becoming the mainstream belief of Americans everywhere.  It is following the pattern of past societal changes like women's suffrage. If that trend continues, and we have no reason to believe it will not, we are not far away from becoming a society where the vast majority of people believe that these animals should not be exploited and mistreated in the way that was viewed as acceptable in the past.   One data point in this trend that happened just recently was really the trigger for this article – it happened on a popular dating website called Tinder. For many years tiger cub exploiters have incessantly bred tigers in order to use the cubs for a few months to make money charging the public to pet them, take photos with them, or even swim with them.  The cubs are ripped from the mothers at birth, a torment to mother and cub, used for a few months, and there is no tracking of what happens to them after that, although we know that many are destined for life in small barren cages, frequently used to breed more cubs for this trade.   The cubs are of course adorable, the breeders tell people they are somehow helping conservation, and many otherwise caring, well meaning people are taken in by the experience and the lies. In the modern age of the phone camera cub petting and tiger exhibits translated into tiger selfies.   Those of you who have followed us over time know that educating the venues and the public about the evil back story behind this cub petting trade has been a huge part of our advocacy work. So imagine the fist pumping here when Tinder announced just this past week that it was urging members to delete photos of themselves with tigers, i.e. tiger selfies, because of the exploitative nature of cub petting and exhibition and, importantly, this was picked up in a positive way by virtually all of the major news media! You cannot get much more “mainstream” than that.   But Tinder was not an isolated event.  It was part of a trend, a trend that demonstrates the rapidly growing public awareness and sentiment about use of exotic animals. Last November TripAdvisor and its Viator brand announced it would discontinue selling tickets for specific tourism experiences where travelers come into physical contact with captive wild animals or endangered species, including but not limited to elephant rides, petting tigers, and swim with dolphin attractions.  Then in July 2017 Expedia announced they would identify and remove tours and attractions that involve wild animals such as tiger interactions from their online travel sites. These are all mainstream entities, not animal welfare organizations, who are responding to the accelerating change in how our society views the exploitation of exotic animals. Feel the momentum?   Among the most compelling examples in my mind that indicates we are at the tipping point is the demise of the circus. I recall my personal elation as a child in the 1950's when my aunt announced she was taking us to the circus. Back then, for the most part only the “crazy” animal activists thought about what it was like for a tiger to be carted around the country spending a likely 90% of the time in a tiny transport wagon.  When elephants swayed and shifted their weight from one foot to the other we just thought that was how elephants behaved.  I was over 50 years old and new to the exotic animal world when big cat veterinarian Dr. Kim Haddad explained to me that this swaying and weight shifting was stereotypical behavior indicating stress.   For years there were small protests when Ringling came to town, but people kept flocking to the circus ignoring the “crazies”. For the longest time it seemed like little if any progress was being made. But there was progress.  Advocates worked tirelessly to educate the public and public officials about one of the most egregious practices in animal handling, the bullhook.   When I first heard about a bullhook ban, I was baffled.  Ok, I thought, if they cannot use the medieval looking sharp pointed instrument called a bullhook why don't they just use some other sharp pointed instrument? I had the good fortune after that to meet Ed Stewart, President and Co-Founder of the fabulous PAWS sanctuary for elephants and tigers in California. I asked him why exhibitors did not just use a spear instead of a bullhook. He explained that the sharp point was not really the deterrent. Young elephants were beaten with the bullhook and learned to fear that particular shape. They would not fear a different shape, even if it had a sharp point. And it was not safe to exhibit a full grown elephant without this tool that they feared.   As the recognition of this cruelty became well known, municipality after municipality passed laws banning the bullhook, which effectively meant the circus could not display its elephants. Other communities passed even broader bans against exhibiting wild animals that showed even more public recognition of the evils of the circus. First it was smaller municipalities.  The number steadily grew, showing that this change in societal values was not isolated to a few communities. Then, just a few months ago in June, despite vigorous lobbying by the exploiters, New York City joined the many other communities banning use of wild or exotic animals for public entertainment.   Think about that – these are elected officials responding to their voters. The societal norm in these communities had gone from excitement that the elephants were coming to town to a widespread recognition of the cruelty that is inherent in the use of elephants and other wild animals in entertainment! Like women's suffrage or banning slavery in the British Commonwealth, it had taken decades, but it was happening!   Then, imagine the joy here and among all animal advocates when Ringling announced it was closing down due to dwindling attendance.  Of course, the news stories quoted some people bemoaning the loss of the circus. But increasingly in just the last few years we heard people saying they would never go to the circus, that the circus was NOT what they wanted to teach their children about animals. Some claim that the drop in attendance was due to the many other options children and adults have today for entertainment. Maybe that was part of it. But, if it was the critical factor, why hasn't Cirque du Soleil closed too?   And of course there was the movie Blackfish in 2013 that so credibly educated so many people about the cruelty inherent in keeping these intelligent, normally wide ranging social animals in tiny swimming pools. SeaWorld at first defended their exhibit. But, like what happened with the circus, the public voted with their feet and attendance dropped. I think Blackfish did  much more than result in changes at SeaWorld. Because it was so widely viewed and publicized, my sense is that it got people thinking more broadly about how other animals are treated and helped change the public perception of the circus.   I'll close with one last example that comes from Big Cat Rescue's advocacy work that I feel shows the acceleration of the awareness. Back in 2010 when we began in earnest to contact venues like shopping malls about allowing cub petting displays or other big cat displays, when we asked our supporters to email the venue to show them that many people found such displays to be cruel, about 500 people would email. Now when we ask for your help to demonstrate the public opposition to such abusive activities, sometimes 6000 of you email!  And we see venues and companies responding positively to your emails.   As mentioned above, back in the couple decades on either side of 1900, a few states passed laws granting women the right to vote.  Nationally support grew to be so overwhelming that in 1920 the Constitution was changed.   There are still a few states that have no laws governing ownership of big cats. Most states have some kind of law, but the laws are generally not effective due to enormous loopholes and the fact that trying to “regulate” how the cats are treated just does not work. What is encouraging is that a few states have passed really good laws, recognizing that big cats should neither be pets nor be exploited for exhibition.   Now is our 1920. It is time to pass the federal Big Cat Public Safety Act.  Since our last issue we have added more cosponsors in the House. We now have over 100 members of congress as cosponsors supporting out bill. The progress is heavily due to your emails and calls to your Representatives.  Persistence and determination resulted in the vote for woman and ending slavery in Britain. It can do the same for ending abuse of big cats but only with your help. Please call or email your Representative today.   We make it very easy to both call and email.  To make the call, you don't have to go researching your Representative's phone number.  Just follow these easy steps:   Step One: Visit BigCatAct.com on your computer or from your mobile phone text CATS to 52886. (Message and data rates may apply. Text Stop to cancel/opt-out. Text Help for help.)   Step Two: Simply input the required information so it can identify your Representative and then click the brown “Call Me” button. You will receive a call on your mobile phone from a 202-phone number and hear a short-recorded message.   Step Three: You will then be automatically patched through to your U.S. Representative. One of their aides will answer. If you prefer, you can call at night or on the weekend and just leave a voice message. Phone calls are ENORMOUSLY effective because so few people call Congress! Simply say the following or something similar: “Hello. My name is _______________ and my zip code is _________. Please ask your boss to cosponsor the Big Cat Public Safety Act. Thank you!”   EVERY CALL HELPS! If enough constituents (VOTERS) call, legislators will take notice. Legislators have many bills coming at them. The best way this bill will get their attention is for them to know that MANY of their constituents care. The only way they know you care is through your calls.   On behalf of the cats, thank you so much!

My guest this week is legendary broadcaster David Hamilton. David's career goes back to 1959 when he joined the British Forces Network radio station in Germany and was there at the same time as Elvis Presley. He was the last person to present Housewives' Choice and did one of the first TV interviews with The Beatles. David talks about his stint on Radio 1 and how the station evolved from the pirate days, and discusses in particular the camaraderie with the Radio 1 football team. We talk about the latest RAJAR radio industry data figures and how Boom Radio, where David currently works, is rising and how it taps into the gap created by national radio stations. David talks about how lockdown has changed our working patterns, and why he likes being in his cocoon in Sussex. David reflects on his time presenting Top of the Pops in an age when whole families would congregate around the TV, and he talks about how change is happening more quickly now than has been the case in previous decades. Radio was David's first love and he speaks about it as being his window to the world. Pete Murray was his broadcasting hero, and we find out how he managed to talk Pete out of retirement last Christmas.  David talks about how he got rid of the rough edges of his South London accent in order to get on radio and about the time he was offered the chance to present Wish You Were Here with Judith Chalmers but prioritized his radio commitments. David also talks about how he started out as a journalist, how he has sung on cruise ships and how, thanks to Ken Dodd, he came to be known as ‘Diddy' David Hamilton. We finish by talking about his friend (and my own radio hero) Ed Stewart who died while David was doing his rock n roll tour in 2016.

PAWS Conference in California Today we visit Ark 2000 which is the 2300 ac elephant sanctuary started by Pat Derby and Ed Stewart.  The weather is spectacular and I'm with my beloved.  It will be a good day.   The news is all focused on the protests that are going on for the fourth night in a row against the Trump presidency.  Such a waste of time.  It's done.  Now we need to figure out how to make it work.   We had dinner with the women from the International Fund for Animal Welfare last night.  Carson Barylak is our lobbyist for the bill that they employ and the mission was to make sure her new boss, Beth, allocates enough of Carson's time to the bill that it passes.  She said that it's the only IFAW bill that is likely to pass, as everything else they will be doing is to try and not lose ground under this upcoming anti environment government.   Meredith Whitley is their current person in charge of coordinating big cat rescues, but she dropped the bomb at the table last night that her husband was promoted in his coast guard position in Germany.  She didn't say it, but sounds like she's not long for this job if she wants to maintain her marriage.   Hi, I'm Carole Baskin and I've been writing my story since I was able to write, but when the media goes to share it, they only choose the parts that fit their idea of what will generate views.  If I'm going to share my story, it should be the whole story.  The titles are the dates things happened. If you have any interest in who I really am please start at the beginning of this playlist: http://savethecats.org/   I know there will be people who take things out of context and try to use them to validate their own misconception, but you have access to the whole story.  My hope is that others will recognize themselves in my words and have the strength to do what is right for themselves and our shared planet.     You can help feed the cats at no cost to you using Amazon Smile!

My guest this week is Malcolm Dixon, Head of Quality Assurance at the University of Kent who has just published his first novel, The Little House on Everywhere Street. We learn writing fiction is more indicative of who Malcolm is than his day job, and he tells me why good writing is an exercise in misdirection. Malcolm has written short stories in the past, and his novel is about a house with doors that lead on to different cities. It's all about what makes a happy family, in which the family members have misadventures and go missing in time. He grew up in Liverpool in a different time when it was a deprived city, and Malcolm reveals that he has a prodigious memory and can remember the great Winter of 1963 and going to see the Beatles in 1965, as well as being able to remember learning to walk. He would listen to the charts on a Tuesday lunchtime and to football matches on the radio. Malcolm did his first degree in Sunderland and went to graduate school at the University of Minnesota on a sports scholarship. We learn that football is the lingua franca of his family. He also tells me his Ed Stewart story. Stewpot was a genuine football (Everton) fan and even corrected Malcolm on a football fact. His parents were born in the early 1920s and his father kept a seaman's log. We hear about his being attacked by enemy fire and about his grandmothers who were widowed early. We learn about how Malcolm ended up doing his present role and how it isn't who he is and we learn what his wife thinks his superpower is (letting people underestimate him). I ask Malcolm if he watches other people watching him. With his new book he knew ‘this was it', and he talks about how people believed in the project. He has other books in the pipeline – and indeed he has written a trilogy. Then, at the end of the interview, we find out that Malcolm's memories are mainly positive and that there isn't much that he is nostalgic about, other than his children's childhood, and he says why children are like Woody and Buzz from Toy Story.

My guest this week is radio enthusiast Noel Tyrrel, founder of the David Hamilton's Hot Shots fan site and someone who has an encyclopaedic knowledge and collection of vintage radio shows. Noel grew up with radio, and we learn why the person who awakened his interest was David Hamilton. We talk about why Junior Choice was so special and whether the sort of radio presenting that Ed Stewart and David Hamilton epitomized is in ascendance any more. We also find out why David Hamilton is called ‘one take Hamilton'. Noel talks about what it was like to meet his radio heroes and we hear about the time Noel was at the supermarket checkout and who should ring to apologize for not playing ‘Paddy McKinty's Goat', which Noel had requested for his young daughter on the Christmas edition of Christmas Junior Choice, but Stewpot himself. He talks about what was so clever about the Jimmy Young show, and how we could never work out what JY's political sympathies were. We discuss JY's previous incarnation as a crooner and we learn what Noel thinks about JY's successor, Jeremy Vine. Both of Noel's parents were actors and through them he met many showbiz types. He talks about Simon Dee and we find out why Noel would categorize himself as a frustrated journalist. We learn why Noel so enjoys disseminating David Hamilton's BOOM Radio show on social media and writing a synopsis of each programme. He explains why he is a sounding board for David Hamilton and we find out whether Noel himself would be interested in doing a radio show of his own. He tells us why radio plays are better than their TV counterparts, why radio will far outlast TV, and why radio is so wonderful because one can listen to it while ‘on the move'. At the end of the interview we learn whether Noel is a looking back or looking forward type of person, what he thinks of Benny Hill and Talking Pictures TV and why he respects things for the period in which they were made.

Today we will be speaking with Catherine Doyle, Director of Science, Research, and Advocacy for the Performing Animal Welfare Society also known as PAWS.PAWS was co-founded by the late Pat Derby and Ed Stewart, 37 years ago as a sanctuary for abused, captive, and retired performing animals. Such animals included elephants, lions, tigers, and bears.PAWS operates three sanctuaries in California including the ARK 2000 that covers 2300 acres.  Not only have the late Pat Derby and Ed Stewart become pioneers for saving captive and exploited wildlife, they have championed the more humane management of elephants, without the use of bull hooks, weapons, or aggressive training techniques!  Since 1985, PAWS has been known to use this non-dominance approach and have become a model to elephant handlers around the world. I had the good fortune of visiting PAWS in 2011.  I was able to have lunch with Ed Stewart and meet the residents of PAWS.  Nicholas, a bull elephant and Gypsy, his surrogate mother, stole my heart.  It was a lunch date made in heaven for me and it inspired my journey of becoming a voice for elephants and all animals.  In this podcast, we will learn what types of situations the rescued wildlife at PAWS have come from, what it means to be a true wildlife sanctuary versus a pseudo wildlife sanctuary, how to help captive big cats, and how the humane non-dominance approach to handling and caring for elephants should be the gold standard as opposed to using bull hooks!

Ed Stewart is the heroic director and cofounder of the 2200-acre GFAS-accredited Performing Animal Welfare Society in San Andreas, California. PAWS is home to elephants who have been rescued from circuses, tigers who have been rescued from abusive owners, a number of other animals — and a special bear named Ben. Ed and I bonded in 2012 during a cross-country FedEx flight with Ben, a 600-pound bear PETA had rescued from a roadside zoo in North Carolina. My conversation with Ed takes us through the stranger-than-fiction life of an exotic animal advocate and expert — and I hear for the first time that the makers of Tiger King interviewed Ed, but decided not to include his expert commentary in the reality show. As always, our talk is real and raw. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

It was a great pleasure for this week’s Nostalgia Interview to meet Lorraine Millard who has been a therapist since around 1984 and works at the University of Kent. We talk about how she has a job which deals with authenticity and how great an honour that is, and we discuss the evolution of student support over the years and the leap that students have to make from school to university. The conversation then turns to student debt and the different ways in which students will, or will not, interact with their peers. Lorraine speaks about how she stumbled into her career and we learn that she studied Literature, Philosophy and Drama in Higher Education. We discuss how you don’t really know what you want to do until you start the journey and Lorraine talks about an individuation, in Jungian terms, in each person and how we cultivate happiness. Lorraine talks about the joys of therapy and who would have supplied that role in the days before professional therapists and Lorraine discusses the importance of being ‘present’ for the other person in a counselling context. She talks about the importance of storytelling from when she was young before moving on to discuss our inherent worthiness, and the difference between Buddhist and Christian understandings of sin and guilt, as well as different conceptions of God and the importance of the ‘hero’s journey’ and how film comprises our modern day storytelling. The conversation then turns to Ed Stewart, Motown, Gilbert O’Sullivan and reggae and we learn how Lorraine was very politically active when she was younger. We talk about mindfulness and being driven by our thoughts and how it is (now) being taken seriously in university. Lorraine speaks about being a seeker and the importance of meditation and how mindfulness changed her life more than anything else, and the communal aspect it involves. We also learn why her ‘go to’ music is Indian chants. In the final part of the interview we learn why Lorraine’s memories are chiefly positive and why she has become more compassionate towards her younger self, and whether she has achieved what she used to want. Lorraine talks about the time when she undertook work on ageing and mindfulness and the importance of being as present as possible, and how the things that make us feel alive are often the simplest.

George Morrison: Alpha Systems, Atari Software Protection Techniques books   George Morrison was founder of Alpha Systems, a company that produced many hardware and software products for the Atari computers, including The Parrot, and audio digitizer; MagniPrint II, a printing utility; and The Impersonator, hardware for copying cartridge-based programs; and other products. He was author of two books — Atari Software Protection Techniques and Advanced Atari Protection Techniques.   This interview took place on October 16, 2018.

Yes we have James Stewart on This Movie’s About You. And no, it’s not some kind of digital wizardry that has taken known Jame Stewart clips and cleverly rearranged them so it sounds like we’re having an actual conversation. That’s a different James Stewart. This is the real, still very much with us, highly active in the Canadian film industry, king of 3-D technology, James Stewart. I’ve known James for many upon many years, so having him as a guest on the show is a no brainer. What did make it a tough go was getting James at the right time when he wasn’t busy working on his film, FOXED!, making a living by providing his clients with the best 3-D technology has to offer, and giving TED talks. The movie’s he choses aren’t 3-D - but they rightfully should be.

Last November, an nonprofit called the Nonhuman Rights Project filed a suit seeking legal personhood for three elephants — Minnie, Beulah, and Karen — who are being kept at a Connecticut zoo. It's world's first lawsuit on behalf of captive elephants that asks they be recognized as persons with the right to bodily liberty. The Connecticut Superior Court where the case was filed dismissed the petition in December, but NhRP plans to re-file the case with some amendments. Host and Earth Island Journal Editor Maureen Nandini Mitra talks with two local animal rights activists — Joyce Tischler, co-founder of Animal Legal Defense Fund and Ed Stewart, president and cofounder of the Performing Animals Welfare Sanctuary or PAWS — about what legal personhood mean and if there is a need, at all, to designate some animals as nonhuman persons. The post Do Animals Need to Be Called ‘Persons'? appeared first on KPFA.

Ed Stewart and Ray Lyons, APX Letterman Ed Stewart and Ray Lyons co-wrote Letterman, an educational word game that was first available in the winter 1982-1983 Atari Program Exchange catalog. Ed also wrote two articles for Antic magazine: "Hokey Pokey Interrupts" - on using POKEY timers in assembly language - and "Talk Is Cheap", a 1-bit audio digitizer. Ed also had two articles in Compute!'s Second Book of Atari: Memory Test and Back Up Your Machine Language Programs With BASIC. This interview took place on September 15, 2016. The first voice you'll hear is Ed's. "They played that thing for days. They would love to try and stump each other by typing in their own word, primarily." After the interview, Ray emailed me this update: "There's one fact I wished I had included--and I'll tell you just in case you find it useful:  This would have probably been early in the 2nd year of the sale of Letterman via the APX. Atari contacted us and asked us to sign some legal documents giving them permission to port Letterman to a ROM for one of their game platforms. My recall is that it was for the 2600. But I'm wondering if they were announcing a new model. Or maybe it was an updated 2600 with a keyboard added? Sorry for this lapse. Anyway, they said they needed educational software to demo this on the new device at a trade show in New York City that year. The Toy Fair I think it was. We never did hear back from Atari about whether they actually carried through or not. If I run across any paperwork about this, I'll send it to you."

Matthew Bannister on David Bowie, art expert, fashion icon and media manipulator. Alan Rickman, the actor most famous for playing villains from the Sheriff of Nottingham to Professor Snape. Olwyn Hughes, the sister of the poet Ted Hughes who fiercely guarded his literary legacy and that of his late wife Sylvia Plath. And Ed "Stewpot" Stewart, the Radio 1 and 2 DJ who presented Junior Choice.

Tony Blackburn remembers Ed Stewart & David Bowie; Steve Bowbrick on the link-up between a community radio station and the space station, Roy Martin's news, David Lloyd's Radio Moments. Trevor Dann hosts.

The voice of this Devon boy was to become the voice of childhood for a generation. Ed Stewart began his radio career in Hong Kong, before moving to the most ‘professional’ of the pirate stations, Radio London, in 1965. His voice was heard as the station closed famously and tearfully in 67. Like many of the best pirates, he was signed up to Radio 1, hosting such modern shows as ‘Happening Sunday’ & ‘What’s New’. Then, in 1968, he grabbed ‘Junior Choice’ from Leslie Crowther and began a twelve year stint. It became famous for its theme tune Morningtown Ride, dedications sent it on wobbly bits of tape, and little Michael cheekily shouting ‘ello darling. As the eighties began, Ed moved to Radio 2, for Family Favourites and weekday afternoons until 1983. He was heard on Radio Mercury for a couple of years, before returning to Radio 2 and indeed to afternoons. After a spell on Sunday evenings, he waved farewell in 2006. He was a well-known TV face on Crackerjack - and was famously the male voice at the end of Lynsey de Paul's silky 70s hit 'Won't somebody dance with me'. Ed died in January 2016. His last programme was broadcast live - just days before - on Christmas Day 2015. In a piece of inspired scheduling, Ed revived ‘Junior Choice’ to remind us grown-ups of Christmases past, playing all the favourites from Nellie the Elephant to Sparky’s Magic Piano. His closing song was, fittingly, the vocal version of his theme, which he felt able to join in with. I think every disc jockey would like to carefully craft their final show, their last song and their last words. Ed almost seemed to. "I'll be with you - whenever".

With deep sadness I write that we lost Minnie last Wednesday evening, January 21. The following is an update from Pat regarding her passing:For the past few months, Minnie had been experiencing a recurrence of her urinary tract infections and bladder problems which have plagued her for many years. This was the first incident in three years, and we hoped that the miraculous effects produced by her cranberry diet might have cured her.During this last bout, Minnie refused most food and water, except for cranberry sauce and cereal. We hand fed and watered her, and administered necessary medications at two hour intervals around the clock. We we all concerned that we might lose our beloved Minnie.Miraculously, once again, she began eating and drinking on her own. During the month of January, she made incredible strides toward recovery, and we were optimistic that she would have one more summer in the lake with her friends.On Wednesday, January 21, Minnie had her very best day in a long time, playing with Rebecca and chirping and squeaking at her keepers, who were delighted to see her behavior. Ed Stewart, one of her favorite people, spent most of the day with her, and Pat Derby fed her buckets of her favorite treats. Ed gave her a very warm bath, and she spent several hours throwing dirt, chirping and thumping. Everyone was delighted with her progress.Minnie and Rebecca went into their dirt stall in the Asian barn and ate hay and dusted in the late afternoon. At 6:00 p.m., the afternoon keeper, Jon, served meals to Minnie and Rebecca. Minnie devoured every bit of her food. As Jon warmed water for their drink, Minnie laid down and seemed to be going off to sleep. Jon called softly to her, then realized she had stopped breathing.Minnie, our 54 year old circus retiree whose vocalizations and sweet disposition charmed everyone at ARK 2000, died peacefully in her barn with Rebecca, her long time companion, and Pat Derby, Ed Stewart and her keepers at her side. Her peaceful posture and the serenity with which she slipped away were a great comfort to all of us. Minnie, who had endured years chained in railroad cars, died tranquilly among her old friends.Rebecca slept next to her, and Wanda, Annie, Pat, Ed and her keepers Annamarie, Tom, Jon and Brian spent their last evening with the beloved leader of the Asian group.We are so grateful to our dedicated staff and veterinarians who spent all their time and energy feeding, medicating and caring for Minnie. We take comfort in our loss knowing that her last days afforded the peace and dignity which this great lady deserved.Fortunately, Pat had produced the following video update including Minnie the week prior to her passing.

Nicholas and Gypsy, the last of the Illinois Hawthorn elephants, have been at PAWS for almost one full year, and news of them is long overdue. In this update, Ed Stewart talks about breaking ground on the bull habitat construction at ARK 2000 and the additional requirements of keeping bulls.Gypsy and Nic are doing well and we're delighted that their quarantine period is almost complete. The first anniversary of their arrival at PAWS will be April 1st, 2008. We want to say thanks to all of you who have supported these two very special elephants on their long journey to PAWS. We are especially grateful to Bob Barker, a true friend of animals and without whom, this chapter of Nic and Gypsy's story might well have ended differently.
