Podcast Overview: Moby & Will discuss his 30 years in the industry, where young creatives go nowadays, not focussing on selling out DJ tours & his journey with his mental health. Who is Moby: Richard Melville Hall, 11 September 1965, New York, USA. A New York DJ, recording artist, Christian, vegan and Philosophy graduate. Moby is so nicknamed because of the fact that he can trace his ancestry to the author of the famous whaling tale. This is by no means the only interesting aspect of his idiosyncratic artistic life. He refuses to travel anywhere by car because of the environmental considerations, and generally displays little of the public anonymity that is the creed of the underground DJ. In 1991, he took the Twin Peaks theme, under the guise of "Go", into the UK Top 10. Although that appealed to the more perverse natures of both mainstream and club audiences, the release of "I Feel It"/"Thousand" in 1993 was yet more bizarre. The latter track was classified by The Guinness Book Of Records as the fastest single ever, climaxing at 1,015 bpm. It was typical of Moby's playful, irreverent attitude to his work. In his youth he was a member of hardcore punk outfit the Vatican Commandos, and even substituted as singer for Flipper while their vocalist was in prison.He has brought these rock 'n' roll inclinations to bear on the world of dance music: at the 1992 DMC/Mixmag Awards ceremony he trashed his keyboards at the end of his set. His introduction to dance music began in the mid-80s: "I was drawn to it, I started reading about it, started hanging out in clubs. For me house music was the synthesis of the punk era." He collected cheap, second hand recording equipment, basing himself in an old factory/converted prison in New York's Little Italy district. The albums issued by New York dance label Instinct collect the artist's early work. Ambient comprised unissued cuts from 1988-91, composed of barely audible atmospheric interludes. Moby signed to leading independent Mute Records in 1993, and the following year released "Hymn", a transcendental religious techno odyssey, distinguished by a 35-minute ambient mix and a Laurent Garner remix. The track was included on his eclectic major label debut, Everything Is Wrong. His own remix catalogue includes Brian Eno, LFO ("Tan Ta Ra"), Pet Shop Boys, Erasure ("Chorus"), Orbital ("Speed Freak"), Depeche Mode and even Michael Jackson. He moved away from his dance base in 1996 with the thrash rock of Animal Rights, and in turn sounded more like Johnny Rotten. His "James Bond Theme' debuted at UK number 8 in November 1997. The attendant I Like To Score was an uneasy experiment in soundtrack work. Another change of style was apparent on 1999"s Play, a superb album on which several tracks were based around sampled field recordings made by folklorist Alan Lomax in the earlier part of the century. Play became a remarkable sleeper hit, thanks in the main to the licensing of every track on the album for use in advertisements. Moby repeated the Play formula to lesser effect on 18.

John Wilson's guest is the violinist Nigel Kennedy. A prodigy whose childhood talents were nurtured by Yehudi Menuhin, one of the greatest violinist of the 20th century, Kennedy himself became an international star in 1989 with his recording of Vivaldi's Four Seasons. It sold over three million copies, topping the UK classical charts for a year and went on to be listed as the biggest selling classical album of all time in the Guinness Book Of Records. An unconventional classical musician from the outset, it wasn't just his wardrobe, accent and attitude that set him apart. As well as recording all the major violin concertos, his repertoire includes jazz standards, folk tunes and Jimi Hendrix. He remains one of the world's greatest virtuosos. For This Cultural Life, Nigel chooses his two violinist mentors; Yehudi Menuhin and the French musician Stéphane Grappelli with whom he shared a love of jazz and improvisation. Going to New York to study at the prestigious Juilliard School also proved a turning point for Kennedy, not so much for the teaching he received there, but for the legendary jazz musicians like Jimmy Rowles and Ellis Larkins that he sought out in clubs downtown and in Harlem. Nigel also discusses how being a fan of Aston Villa football club has made him think about crowd dynamics in his concerts and reveals the influence of his dog Huxley on his approach to his career. Producer: Edwina Pitman

Welcome to January 29th, 2023 on the National Day Calendar. Today we celebrate corny legends and puzzling pastimes.  Some say the story of corn chips began on a road trip. In 1932 Elmer Doolin was traveling through San Antonio, TX where he discovered a local favorite called friotes. Elmer bought the recipe from a man who wanted to quit the corn chip business. Little did he know it would be the best 100 dollars he ever spent. Doolin perfected them in his mother's kitchen and started selling the chips from the back of his Model T. But sales really took off when his mom Daisy came up with a recipe campaign called Cooking with Fritos. This led to a partnership with Herman Lay and today Fritos are a corn chip legend. On National Corn Chip Day enjoy your own favorite chips!   Putting together a puzzle is a fun way to spend a quiet day indoors. Of course, depending on the number of pieces, it can get frustrating. 100 pieces? Piece of cake. 500 pieces? A bit of a challenge. 1000 pieces? Now we are getting a little crazy. But, let's put things into perspective. According to the Guinness Book Of Records, the most pieces ever used in a single puzzle is 551,232. It took 1,600 students in Vietnam around 17 hours to put it together. When completed, it measured over 48 by 76 feet and it depicted a lotus flower with 6 petals. No word whether there were any pieces missing. On National Puzzle Day, cozy up with your own beautiful challenge. I'm Anna Devere and I'm Marlo Anderson. Thanks for joining us as we Celebrate Every Day!  Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Today marks the anniversary of the death of Ross McWhirter, shot by the IRA in 1975. His name may not be familiar, but his work most certainly is. Ross was co-founder of the Guinness Book of Records, a franchise that has gone on to sell more than 100 million copies. But just how did this annual book come to be, and what led to the death of its founder in such circumstances? Gavan is joined by Donal Fallon for another episode of Hidden Histories to discuss.

Tatiana Stupak (piano) started learning the piano at age five, studying at the Special School of the Rimsky-Korsakov State Conservatory in St. Petersburg, and after that, for a further five years, continuing at the Conservatory itself. She is the winner of international music competitions including the Leipzig Bach competition. Tatiana is very well known in Cyprus, having played piano at more than 80 events in the last few years, both as a solo pianist and accompanying other musicians. Since 2018, she has played piano solos at The Big Choir Project concerts. She has developed a second major interest since early 2019: mountaineering! Her goal is to climb the 7 highest mountains of 7 continents. Having had no previous climbing experience, she succeeded in reaching the summit of the highest mountain in Europe (Elbrus) and Africa (Kilimanjaro). Just recently she climbed Mount Damavand, the highest peak in Iran and Western Asia and the highest volcano in Asia She plans next to climb the highest peak in South America, Mount Aconcagua in Argentina while playing music and she is attempting to get in the the Guiness Book of records; she loves adventures of all kinds. For example, in 2018, she took a hot-air balloon flight in Cappadocia; in the summer of 2019, she did her first sky-dive, at Kingsfield Airfield in Cyprus. She also took a trip to frozen Lake Baikal early in 2020, where she played the Russain Gusli instrument. And she leaned free diving in 2020 as well, and proved it, by being filmed playing a piano on the bed of the Mediterranean. She like to combine her musical talents with her adventures, whenever possible. She arranges charity concerts for children and for the church, and brings famous musicians from Russia, for example from the Bolshoi Theatre. She opened the Tatiana Stupak School of Music in 2018, where students can enter for examinations set by the Royal Schools of Music and by Trinity College. Students may also take part in public concerts, to gain experience in performing before audiences. In 2018, Tatiana won awards on being chosen in competition, as Russian Cultural Woman of the Year in Cyprus. In the summer of 2019, having organised fund-raising concerts on several occasions for the Institute of Neurology and Genetics, she was invited to play piano solos at a concert at the Presidential Palace, where President Anastasiades presented her with an award on behalf of the Institute. She has been interviewed many times on Cyprus radio and TV channels. Early in 2020 she was interviewed on the subject of children and music, and the interview was shown on Smile TV; previously she appeared live on TV ONE's charity show, DanSing for You, not as a pianist, but as a dancer. Most recently, she was interviewed by RIK1 TV, and the interview was broadcast in July 2020. Also during 2020, over a period of a few weeks, she made live broadcasts on the Internet, giving illustrated talks about ten classical music composers. Tatiana maintains two YouTube channels: one for herself, and another for her music school. http://tatianastupak.com/biography (http://tatianastupak.com/biography) https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPa-fpO17yX0y1aN51Yu_WA (https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCPa-fpO17yX0y1aN51Yu_WA)

Born in Arcadia, Florida, and raised on a ranch in an even smaller town nearby, Johnson’s childhood was full of amazing experiences punctuated by moments of terribly demanding chores. Soon after joining the U.S. Marine Corps, while stationed at Camp Pendleton in California, Johnson took his motorcycle for a ride and was slammed into a brick wall by a car of gang members. He was robbed and left for dead; his injuries included a punctured bicep, causing him to nearly bleed to death. He managed to drag himself to a fire station, where he received medical help and was airlifted to the hospital, flatlining and being resuscitated twice on the way. Doctors restarted his heart once more at the hospital, bringing him back from the brink of death a total of three times. He survived, and continued serving in the military; even now, long after leaving active service, he will remind you there is no such thing as an “ex-Marine.” In his 20s, Johnson built a successful mortgage business and was enjoying a six-figure income when, in 2008, the market collapsed and he lost everything but a beat-up, old car — which he had to junk after it was rear-ended. He then walked everywhere and tried to earn enough to eat one meal a day, enduring a two-year period of homelessness. Just as he met the challenge of his injuries, he persevered each day and eventually improved his situation. Now 40 and a full-time single father, Johnson owns and operates several successful businesses he has founded; he’s become a best-selling author; and he is in high demand as a motivational speaker. In recent years, he has dedicated himself to raising money for homeless veterans and calling attention to the devastating rate of veteran suicides. Johnson focuses on the philosophy of “finding your why” each day, and he now shares his message with all who can benefit from hearing it. As a coach and a motivator, Johnson offers a fresh, inspiring message focusing on proven tactics that launch individuals and organizations beyond current expectations.

PAX West and PAX Australia have been cancelled, and are being merged into a week long PAX Online. Billy Mitchell has been somewhat redeemed - the Guinness Book of Records has restored his Pac-Man and Donkey Kong accomplishments after their own investigation. The FDA has approved the first video game to be used as clinical treatment for patients with ADHD. There was an interview shot at SIEGE 2016 that was never uploaded to our YouTube channel, so we aired it tonight. It is with Ron Jones The Artist of The Indie Cluster, an Atlanta-based cluster of indie game developers that promote each other as well as the game development industry to lower income schools, and the esports world to parents. Then we talk to OLR about why we're not playing The Last Of Us Part II (and why it has nothing to do with any Twitter controversy.)

Jason Lewis Tackled An Expedition Like No Other Person - Ready To Find Out What? Todays guest is an award-winning author, adventurer and sustainability campaigner specializing in human-powered expeditions. Now if you don't you what this means, just remember the last time you thought you would pop to the shops, and you think “I'll take the car, it will be so much easier” Well our guest today is recognised by Guinness World Records as the first person to circumnavigate the Earth without using motors or sails. Walking, cycling, and inline skating five continents, and kayaking, swimming, rowing, and pedalling a boat across the rivers, seas, and oceans. This took thirteen years to complete, the 46,505-mile journey and was hailed “the last great first for circumnavigation” by the London Sunday Times. But this is just a tiny part of what this guy is all about. No life is more than just getting his name in the Guinness Book Of Records, as he has also visited more than 900 schools in 37 countries to date, involving thousands of students in a variety of programmes in conjunction with UNESCO's Associated Schools Program Network. He shares his tales of adventure and hardship to promote world citizenship, zero carbon emission travel, and awareness of individual lifestyle choices on the health of the planet. This will be an amazing story of taking chances, inspiring the world, hardship, but savouring those life experiences that you can only get by putting yourself out there. So when he was growing up in Catterick, Yorkshire, in Northern England was he inspired by the world and loved nothing more than flicking through the pages of an Atlas? Can you just go into countries wherever you want or do you have to find the border crossings? And does he get told by everyone that he meets that “Jason, I would love to be doing what you do” and think “Well why aren't you then?” Well let's find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots, with the one and only Mr Jason Lewis. Show Highlights During the show we discussed such weighty topics as: How he recalls sitting in a flat in Paris with his friend Steve Smith, and after a few beers decided that this was a challenge that really appealed as he felt that anyone can do it. They just needed to start. Why it is so strange that in the UK that we fail to celebrate the winners and the high achievers, and do not like people to really go out and do something amazing. How he would get pelted by stones thrown by the children in Tibet, and realised that he needed to start throwing back at them and found the kids loved it when he did so. How we all look at the successful people in life and think that everything must have been put into place for them. We find it hard to believed that they truly worked at it. And lastly…….. How he now knows that the journey was just part of his life, and he is not going to be defined by his actions. They will simply be the starting point to even more personal missions.

Todays guest is an award-winning author, adventurer and sustainability campaigner specializing in human-powered expeditions. Now if you don't you what this means, just remember the last time you thought you would pop to the shops, and you think "I'll take the car, it will be so much easier" Well our guest today is recognised by Guinness World Records as the first person to circumnavigate the Earth without using motors or sails. Walking, cycling, and inline skating five continents, and kayaking, swimming, rowing, and pedalling a boat across the rivers, seas, and oceans. This took thirteen years to complete, the 46,505-mile journey and was hailed “the last great first for circumnavigation” by the London Sunday Times. But this is just a tiny part of what this guy is all about. No life is more than just getting his name in the Guinness Book Of Records, as he has also visited more than 900 schools in 37 countries to date, involving thousands of students in a variety of programmes in conjunction with UNESCO's Associated Schools Program Network. He shares his tales of adventure and hardship to promote world citizenship, zero carbon emission travel, and awareness of individual lifestyle choices on the health of the planet. This will be an amazing story of taking chances, inspiring the world, hardship, but savouring those life experiences that you can only get by putting yourself out there. So when he was growing up in Catterick, Yorkshire, in Northern England was he inspired by the world and loved nothing more than flicking through the pages of an Atlas? Can you just go into countries wherever you want or do you have to find the border crossings? And does he get told by everyone that he meets that "Jason, I would love to be doing what you do" and think "Well why aren't you then?" Well let's find out as we bring onto the show to start joining up dots, with the one and only Mr Jason Lewis.

Superlative adjectives Hi there, and welcome to another great lesson with New English Academy. I’m your guide Giles Parker and today we’re going to focus on superlative adjectives. The comprehension text is about some of the strangest world records in the Guinness Book of Records. This lesson is aimed at beginners but anyone can find something new and interesting here. First we’ll talk about how to make and use superlative adjectives then we’ll listen to, or read if you want, the comprehension text. As always, don’t forget to check out the great online games and learning activities that go with this lesson on our website at New English Academy.com. First, a little chat about superlative adjectives. You know how adjectives give more information about nouns, how they describe something, make it more interesting? Well superlative adjectives talk about the one thing in its group that is the most ‘whatever’ in its group. For example: · I live in a house. Let’s add an adjective; · I live in a nice house Now let’s make it a superlative adjective; · I live in the nicest house in the village. Did you see where the adjective goes? That’s right, just put it before the noun. And, did you see what happened to the superlative? Because it is the most ‘whatever’, you put the before it. Did you also notice that I added a little prepositional phrase after the noun? We have to say what group the noun belongs to when we use superlative adjectives, because after all we are saying something is the most ‘whatever’ in a group. So, to summarize, the adjective goes in front of the noun, add the and a prepositional phrase to say what the group is. Superlative adjectives change depending on how many syllables there are. You know what a syllable is, right? A sound unit. So an adjective like nice has just one syllable, but an adjective like beautiful has three syllables. With short adjectives just add –est to the end of the adjective. For example; · This is the nicest place I have ever been. · He’s the tallest guy in our office. · These are the cheapest shoes in the shop. Some adjectives have two or more syllables – long adjectives. For most of these adjectives, just put the most in front of the adjective. For example; · She’s the most beautiful woman I have ever met. · These are the most expensive shoes in the shop. Typically, because this is language learning and nothing is ever completely easy, there are a couple of irregular or problem forms. First, if a two syllable adjective ends in y we drop the y and add iest, for example; · You think that is funny? Now, this is the funniest thing ever. · That guy isn’t just creepy, he’s the creepiest guy in the building. See how we always put the and a phrase afterwards to say what the group is? There are three irregular adjectives – good, bad, and far. The superlative forms for these are the best, and the worst and the farthest. For example: · I’ve had good pizza before but this one was the best I’ve ever had. · Bad day at the office? Man, it was the worst day ever. And now the problem adjectives… remember how short adjectives usually take –est on the end? Well, fun is causing problems. The grammar books tell you (and I don’t know why) that we shouldn’t add -est but should add the most. For example; · Thank you. That was the most fun thing I’ve done in ages. But….there are a lot of people out there who want to keep the rules all regular and instead put –est on the end of fun, for example: · Thank you. That was the funnest thing I’ve done in ages. There – even my Microsoft Word has underlined funnest in red because it thinks it is wrong. But you’ll hear it all around you. The same goes for stupid. A two syllable adjective, so the textbooks say it should be the most stupid but the reality is people say the stupidest. I think grammar textbooks and teachers have to catch up with reality and teach language as people speak it, not as they think it should be spoken. Now, on to the comprehension text which is about different world records, not just normal world records like the tallest man or the heaviest baby but some of the strangest, weirdest records. List, or read, and see how many superlative adjectives you can find in the text. Good luck! The Guinness Book of Records A new world record was broken recently. The smallest man in the world is now Chandra Bahadur Dangi from Nepal.  This, and other world records are checked and recorded by the Guinness Book of Records in the UK. If you visit the website, buy the book or even watch the TV show as I did as a kid 100 years ago, you can learn some of the most incredible things. Not just the important measurements and statistics, but how really strange some people are. It seems a contradiction but the Guinness Book of Records has many common or normal records. For instance, the tallest living man in the world is Sultan Kosen from Turkey. He is an amazing 2.43m tall. The fastest boat in the world is the Spirit of Australia with a record of 555kmh. The heaviest baby ever recorded was 10.8kg in 1879 in Ohio, America. Wow! But, these are all ‘average’ records. Guinness also records some of the weirdest, most wonderful records you can imagine. And I’m impressed by two things: 1) that the person (or people) are strong enough, clever enough, dedicated enough, etc, to do this wonderful and weird thing, and 2) that they actually WANT to do it. I’ll give you some examples. The fastest time to enter a suitcase - I don’t mean just to open a suitcase, but to actually open and get into a suitcase and then close it. The fastest time is 5.43 seconds, held by Leslie Tipton.  But – why? Why measure how fast you can get into a suitcase? Or how about the longest distance travelled, keeping a table lifted with your teeth? Apparently the longest distance, etc., was achieved by Georges Christen who walked 11 m with a 12 kg table in his teeth while a 50 kg woman sat on it. That’s just crazy! And…Thailand is home to the record for living with scorpions the longest. Kanchana Ketkaew lived in a small glass room with over 5000 scorpions for 33 days and nights. Why?  The UK is home to the loudest purr made by a pet cat. Hurrah! That is important! Apparently, the cat, Smokey reached 67.7 dB. Maybe that’s the cutest record. Smokey was so relaxed because it had been brushed, stroked, and fed slices of ham. Well, I might purr loudly too then. The most plates broken with one finger in one minute is 102 by Fan Weipeng in China and the most needles put into a head is 2009 by Wei Shengu also from China. I don’t get it. Why do people want to do these things? I don’t know what the most bizarre record is but maybe the ‘funnest’, most entertaining record is for human mattress dominoes, where a group of people, each person tied to a mattress, stand up like a long line of dominoes, and then slowly fall over, one by one. The record for the largest human mattress dominoes was for 850 people in New Orleans, America this year. Sounds like brilliant fun! I could go on and on about the craziness but this would become the most boring grammar podcast instead of the most interesting, so I’ll stop now.
