Podcast appearances and mentions of Harry Parker

In this episode, Matt Blank talks with Avery Badenhop, Dennis McGlynn, and Harry Parker, who were known during the 90s as the “three-headed dragon” of BASE and founders of the infamous Team Ill Vision. This team has been a timeless model for outlaw extreme sports gangs living an endless summer lifestyle. The leader of Team Ill Vision, Avery, is the quintessential counterculture athlete, creating a unique lifestyle that would inspire generations of jumpers to go all in and totally cut away from the mainstream. Dennis McGlynn, one of the first jumpers to perform BASE stunts for film and television, is also a pioneer of manufacturing BASE-specific gear. He was one of the original FJC instructors and the first to be prosecuted by the federal government for BASE jumping. Harry Parker, the man with the perspective, has been an active jumper and photographer for more than three decades, participating in and capturing some of our community's historic moments. Harry helped put a face and voice to the BASE jumping lifestyle. Their team created a culture around the pursuit of BASE jumping, opening the first public events, competitions, and demonstrations. Their access efforts helped open jumps on BLM land, the Perrine Bridge, and recrafted Bridge Day in West Virginia, as well as forged paths to international BASE events, which have continued to grow over several decades.

He's nearly 72, and there has hardly been a time since he was a teenager when Harry Parker wasn't in a band. Today, he plays in three bands: Acoustic Ear Candy, Jack Stevenson's Buried Treasure Band, and a duo with his wife Donna called Parker HD. Throughout the years, Harry's played in multiple country and rock bands, and his enthusiasm for music — and life! — is not only contagious, it's inspiring. He's gone from a little kid on his bike trying to sing with the older guys singing doo-wop songs around a street light in Wesleyville (where Harry grew up), to playing to a few thousand people at 8 Great Tuesdays in 2022. Thanks to the JPT Foundation for sponsoring the Erie Music History podcast. The goal of the foundation is to provide education scholarships to grade school-age children as well as annual giving to local organizations and charities. The foundation has a large hall that hosts bingo four days a week and is available for rentals, and it is also the home of this podcast's monthly music night, which is the first Tuesday of the month from 6-9.

For Stars Podcast brings you an insight into Syracuse Men's Rowing, featuring longtime Head Coach, Mr. Dave Reischman. Hudson and Dave dive deep into what it takes to "have the juice" in order to be a Division 1 Rowing team, discussing team culture, structure, and most importantly, having fun. A monumental figure within collegiate rowing, Reischman's high regard amongst his peers is worthy to note, so Hudson made sure to highlight the man at the helm of the Orange, entering his 22nd year as Head Coach.Dave started rowing at Gonzaga University during his junior year of college. A farm boy from Washington, Reischman joined a new sport with no boathouse or coach but learned the fundamentals. Post-university, Dave began coaching for a local youth crew team during the summer. Through connections, Dave made his way to Harvard by knocking on the door at Newell Boathouse, being confronted by the legendary coach, Harry Parker. After the two began conversing the field of farming, Parker gave Reischman an internship based on two reasons: he had good luck with western farm kids, and that the boats he coached at CRI followed the traffic pattern on the Charles River. Here we are years later, Dave continues to inspire the next generation of young men and women.

Anna Oppes"BookRave"È stato lanciato via social il progetto condiviso di otto case editrici (effequ, Iperborea, minimum fax, NN Editore, Nottetempo, Quinto Quarto, il Saggiatore, Sur), riscuotendo da subito tantissime adesioni: si tratta di BookRave, un progetto di lettura già ampiamente sostenuto da lettori e librerie, che prevede un percorso trimestrale tematico.Le librerie che aderiscono al progetto riceveranno dalle otto case editrici un titolo legato al tema del trimestre.Il primo tema è Corpi: perché il corpo attraversa le narrazioni e le storie, è elemento preponderante di riflessione sia in narrativa che in saggistica, attorno ad esso ruota gran parte della discussione contemporanea su rappresentazione e visibilità. BookRave presenterà otto storie (i cui titoli saranno rivelati a fine mese sui social delle case editrici), tra saggi, romanzi e graphic novel, per attraversare il tema centrale della contemporaneità, comprenderlo meglio e in qualche modo celebrarlo.Starà poi alla libreria e ai suoi lettori determinare un percorso assieme, trovare i collegamenti, giocare coi libri, stimolare le discussioni: è una sfida comune, che sarà sostenuta da iniziative da parte delle case editrici, incontri dal vivo, contenuti multimediali. L'obiettivo di BookRave è molteplice e ambizioso: creare un festival diffuso, collaborativo, mostrare come case editrici anche molto diverse tra loro possano riflettere su uno stesso tema, e come libri anche molto diversi, se messi in dialogo, possano aprire nuove prospettive.Ma soprattutto a BookRave piace l'idea di pensare che le cose si possano fare insieme, mettendo le proprie forze in condivisione, aprendo un percorso di dialogo e mutuo sostegno con le librerie e con chi i libri li acquista e li legge e ne parla.Ecco gli otto libri di BookRave: tutti riferiti al tema trasversale del CorpoSangue cattivo, di Beatrice Galluzzi, effequCorpi dipinti, di Matt Lodder, il SaggiatoreLa valle dei fiori, di Niviaq Korneliussen, IperboreaAll the love I can get, di Tommi Parrish, minimum faxAffamata, di Melissa Broder, NN EditoreChiedi se vive o se muore, di Gaia Giovagnoli, nottetempoL'Arte del Drag, di Jake Hall, Sofie Birkin, Helen Li, Jasjyot Singh Hans, Quinto Quarto edizioniUmani ibridi, di Harry Parker, SurIL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.itQuesto show fa parte del network Spreaker Prime.

On Episode #68 of the Book Talk Today podcast we are joined by Harry Parker. Harry joined the British Army when he was 23 and served in Iraq in 2007 and Afghanistan in 2009 as a Captain, before stepping on a bomb while on foot patrol - he now walks on metal legs. He is now a writer and artist, based in London. Harry's Website - https://www.harryparkerstudio.com/ Visit our website - https://www.booktalktoday.com

As the BBC's former defence correspondent, Caroline Wyatt spent more than a decade covering the war in Afghanistan. She first went there just after the 9/11 attacks, to report on the British troops joining the US-led coalition against Al Qaeda and their Taliban hosts. By the time combat operations ended in 2014, 454 British military personnel and civilians had died - and many more Afghan civilians. Following the final withdrawal of US troops last year – and the scramble for safety by Afghans who'd worked with the West – she set out to speak to British veterans of the conflict. To find out what had made them sign up to fight, despite the risks, and what the campaign's ultimate failure means to them now. Like many who served in Afghanistan, Louise Jones signed up because she “wanted to make a difference”. She found watching the scenes unfold on television “painful”. It made her question how much she trusted those in power “when they say we want to commit to Ukraine, for example.” Harry Parker, a former captain in the 4th Battalion The Rifles, signed up at 26 just as the fighting in Afghanistan was reaching a crescendo. Eight weeks into his tour of duty he stepped on an improvised explosive device and lost both his legs. Meanwhile, his father General Sir Nick Parker was preparing to head out to Afghanistan to take over as commander of British Forces. “It only made me even more committed to make sure that we achieved our military objectives,” he says, “that we didn't squander young men and women's lives.” As a commando trained chaplain with the Royal Marines, Stuart Hallam ministered to young soldiers as they fought and died on the front lines. “We never come back to being normal in the same sense as we were normal before. It can be a very positive transformation. But nevertheless, it's a transformation.” Presenter: Caroline Wyatt Producer: Emily Williams A Whistledown production for BBC Radio 4

After Iraq and Afghanistan, solider Harry Parker turned author and has written a study of the way robotics, computing and AI might be about to irrevocably alter our understanding of what it means to be human. Scientist and Radio 4 presenter Adam Rutherford's new book traces ideas about the perfect body and eugenics from the Spartans and Plato to present day politics and the pandemic. In her new book, philosopher and professor Clare Chambers argues that the unmodified body is a key principle of equality. While defending the right of anyone to change their bodies, she traces the way that the social pressure to modify send a powerful message: you are not good enough.

Why we row? It's a question I often think about. Why I row is simple, it's good for my mind, my body and my mental health. I think when I row, whether that be indoor on a rowing machine or on the water, it settles me. It does this through the effort I need to put in to not only manage my body movements but it's all about me “teaching” myself. I get a sense of achievement when a session goes well. Harry Parker who was the long standing heavy weight rowing coach at Harvard University talks openly about what he did for over 50 years in a video link is below. I think he narrates what he sees as his job, and what he sees it doing for others. You can forget the Harvard elite university link, best focus on Harry and what he says, a truly extraordinary man for how modestly he talk about simplicity, a simplicity that he has learned to teach over 50 years! https://youtu.be/k5lXDcCdM8E Here's today's podcast: What about your fitness and rowing, are you ready to get started? --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/get-fit-to-row/message

In this week's episode, Alice and Nicolas interview Harry Parker, an artist, former army officer, and author of Anatomy of a Soldier - a creative and powerful novel that narrates the experiences of fictional soldier Tom Barnes as he deploys to war and gets badly injured by an IED. Harry was himself injured by an IED while on tour in Afghanistan, losing both legs, and in many ways the novel draws on his personal experiences. But as Harry explains, it is also a highly fictionalised account and he takes advantage of that fictional element to look at war from many different perspectives. Each of the 45 chapters in the novel is narrated by an inanimate object - a tourniquet, a bag of fertiliser, a boot, a flag, a running blade, and so on - and these objects enable Harry to dissect war from all sorts of angles, bringing in the experience of civilians as well as soldiers, family members as well as fighters, and people on both sides of the conflict. As he explains in the podcast, he is fascinated by the fact that no one experiences conflict in the same way. The novel's structure and form also enable Harry to highlight connections between people who are fighting each other, and this reflects his wider interest in countering the more one-sided or biased representations of conflict which we often come across. Although the novel does move forward in time, from Tom Barnes' injury in the first chapter to his recovery and reintegration into civilian life at the end, it also jumps back and forth, capturing how fractured people's experiences of war are - and this got us talking about writing itself and the novel as a narrative form that can be used in innovative ways to help people visualise war. Among other questions, we asked Harry:How does writing compare with, e.g., painting as a narrative medium when it comes to representing war?To what extent does Anatomy of a Soldier reflect his own experiences of war and injury, and why did he decide to write fiction rather than autobiography?Why did he decide to narrate the story through a series of inanimate objects and not a human character?How does the novel's rapid changes of perspectives and jumping backwards-and-forwards in time contribute to its depiction of war?What does he want the novel to communicate to readers about soldiering, combat and war?We hope you enjoy the episode!

My guest this week is Harry Parker, a writer and artist who had a very interesting route to becoming an author. Harry is an army veteran who lost his legs following an IED explosion while on tour in Afghanistan. Several years later and back in the UK, Harry wrote a novel, Anatomy of a Solider, which tells the story of Sergeant Tom Barnes, who also loses his legs in an explosion, through the perspectives of 45 inanimate objects: a gun, a bag of fertiliser, a prosthetic leg, a grieving mother's handbag and so on. It's an extraordinary book, disorienting and incredibly moving, and in 2016 when it was published, Harry was featured as one of The Observer's new faces of fiction. the book got rave reviews and won the Waverton Good Read Award the following year. Overall, a pretty incredible experience for a debut novelist. But his second book did not go so well. It didn't sell and Harry, who is clearly an extremely resilient guy, is nonetheless very candid here about how personal that rejection felt, and how hard it has been to get over. It's a great reminder, I think, that writing success is not linear, even for established authors. You have to be prepared for bumps in the road and allow yourself time to accommodate them. Thank you so much to Harry for being so open about it all.You can find Anatomy of a Soldier and books by my other guests at my online bookstore: https://uk.bookshop.org/shop/francescasteeleYou can also find me on Twitter - @francescasteele.

Welcome to Write-Off with Francesca Steele, a podcast about writing rejection in all its forms, from self-doubt to books not selling, and how people get through it. I'm a writer and journalist based in London with some personal experience of this after my own first book failed to sell.

Dan is a former US international athlete, coach and was first famous for being part of the "Oxford Mutiny" of 1987. He now builds high performing teams based on the principles he learned from rowing.

Cultivate a belief system in yourself and a vision that you are capable of taking those steps. 07:00 Trialing with Harry Parker at Princeton for the 1980 Olympics When you have the opportunity to bring someone to a higher level, you have to take it. 11:00 Seat Racing - when you switch in this is YOUR crew. What is the rhythm? Announce yourself and ask what are you emphasising? Lock your gaze onto the back of the neck of the person in front. It's all about alignment. 17:00 Rowing at Oxford with 4 other US international calibre athletes. Most were stroke side but the President was also strokeside and had effectively selected himself out of the boat. Dan Topolski wasn't there all the time - 2 week rotations. There was also a telephone workers strike so we couldn't phone each other. We were used to having more direction from a coach. Tony Ward asked Dan to stand up for them and so they went to see Donald Macdonald the President - he called this a mutiny. 23:50 Communication is key. We could have solved this - the entire crew should have been brought together. This would have prevented the factions forming. Vital to meet regularly. 29:00 Tongue blade boards. At the Naval Academy this is how they do the crew assignments. Coach Ken Dreyfuss gave me my tongue blade with the exclamation point on it. 33:00 If I had been thinking individual glory, my path would have been very different. The team strives together. Team Concepts is workin to overcome what divides us. Focus instead on what we have in common. 37:00 Where to start with a new team? Start with Mission and Purpose. Align that and then everyone wants to feel valued. Enable the effort. Gives the base motivation to give import to what they are doing. 42:00 Rowers align around a large set of commonalities. Bridge the issues that divide us in society using my new project the Phoenix Initiative. We create teams for economic value to create organisations and businesses tied to the issues that divide us. 46:00 Citizens Councils like the Irish ones on abortion and gay marriage. The determining factor is commitment from the leadership. They are reliant on energy which if they get it from divisiveness, this gives then more energy.

SUMMARY In The Red Rose Crew, former crew team member and rowing coach, Daniel Boyne, tackles the compelling true story of the female athletes who came together to form the first U.S. Women’s National Crew Team. It was 1975, just when Title IX began to crack open doors to American women in sports and at universities across the nations. This formidable group of tough women battled for international success at the World Championships while also battling for equality at home where sexual prejudice, bureaucracy, and male domination also stood firmly in their path to victory. Fiercely determined to participate in one of the most grueling and competitive sports, this brave crew not only withstood all the rigors of hard training but also fought the uphill battle to take their rightful place as premier athletes. Tapping into each individual’s inner strength, the ingenuous coach Harry Parker (from Harvard’s men crew) also ignited an unlikely but powerful sense of team unity among the women, propelling them to participate in their first Olympic Games in 1976. With raw honesty combined with authentic dramatic tension, Boyne tells "A True Story of Women, Winning, and the Water.” KEY POINTS & CHARACTERS Unbeknownst to many, American rowing has its original roots among the working class. When crews row well, it’s difficult for onlookers to tell just how hard the oarsmen are rowing. The Head of the Charles Regatta – happens every October and the largest race in the world Gail Pierson – brilliant MIT professor and champion sharpshooter; assumes the role of elder statesman and organizer for the women’s team; a pioneer for rowing who suffers the slings and arrows of criticism Carie Graves – stands 6’1” by her sophomore year in high school; the team’s Amazon bohemian; channels her darkest places to compete at her top level, becoming the strong powerhouse of the team Anne Warner – Yale student stronger than most male rowers at Harvard; fierce feminist who takes dramatic measures to get equal amenities and recognition for the team Lynn Sillman – 16-year-old coxswain whose quiet but strong leadership skills steer the team literally and figuratively CLAC – women’s row club began in late 1800s that trained at Mission Bay in San Diego Harry Parker – without aspiring to the role, takes coach position of the first women’s truly competitive crew QUOTES FROM BOYNE “In order to understand competitive rowing, you first had to understand pain. Not the common ordinary sort that visits most people on an occasional basis…the real pain of rowing, the one required for a racing effort, was far more internal and intense.” “A crew coach is utterly useless during a crew race, unable to communicate with his crew. Even if it were possible to talk to them as they raced, it was not permitted.” “Harvard University…had one of the finest facilities in the entire United States, if not the world. “Most of these women had already paid their dues. Most had not only experienced the normal rigors of rowing but had also borne the additional hardships of being denied the basic privileges that came with it. They hadn’t needed to walk into boathouses and prove themselves. They’d had to bang on the doors just to be let in.” “In rowing, explaining the success of an underrated crew is almost as difficult as accounting for the poor performance of a highly rated one.” BUY Red Rose Crew: A True Story Of Women, Winning, And The Water RECOMMENDATIONS BUY the DVD "Miracle" (2004) https://www.nonfiction4life.com/86-fly-girls-by-keith-obrien/ Check our podcast interview with Keith O'Brien about his book Fly Girls -- another nonfiction book heralding the accomplishments of strong women.

Here is the unforgettable story of Captain Tom Barnes, whom we first meet as he is leading British troops in Afghanistan. We then meet two young Afghani boys—and the man who trains one of them to fight against the infidel invaders. Finally, there are the family and friends who radiate out from these lives: the people on all sides of a war where virtually everyone is caught up in something unthinkable. But this novel regards them not as they see themselves but as the objects surrounding them do: a helmet, a bag of fertilizer, a beer glass, dog tags—and a horrific improvised explosive device that binds them all together by blowing one of them apart. A work of extraordinary humanity and hope, Anatomy of a Soldier takes its place among the great novels that articulate the lives of soldiers. In the boom of an instant, we see things we've never understood so clearly before.

On a cold November night in a Deptford yard, dock worker Harry Parker stumbles upon the body of a dead woman. Inspector Ben Ross is summoned from Scotland Yard to this insalubrious part of town, but no witness to the murder of this well-dressed, middle-aged woman can be found. Even Jeb Fisher, the local rag-and-bone man, swears he's seen nothing. Meanwhile, Ben's wife Lizzie is trying to suppress a scandal: family friend Edgar Wellings has a gambling addiction and no means of repaying his debts. Reluctantly, Lizzie agrees to visit his debt collector's house in Deptford, but when she arrives she finds her husband is investigating the murder of the woman in question. Edgar was the last man to see Mrs Clifford alive and he has good reason to want her dead, but Ben and Lizzie both know that a case like this is rarely as simple as it appears...

Let's imagine a man called Captain Tom Barnes, aka BA5799, who's leading British troops in the war zone. And two boys growing up together in that war zone, sharing a prized bicycle and flying kites before finding themselves estranged once foreign soldiers appear in their countryside. And then there's the man who trains one of them to fight against the other's father and all these infidel invaders. Then imagine the family and friends who radiate out from these lives, people on all sides of this conflict where virtually everyone is caught up in the middle of something unthinkable.

Start the Week is at Hay Literary Festival this week discussing war and intelligence. Michael Hayden is a former Air Force four-star general who became director of the US National Security Agency and then the CIA. He talks to Tom Sutcliffe about the decisions made during America's war on terror: from rendition and interrogation to widespread surveillance. Harry Parker was in his twenties when he signed up to join the British Army - he uses the paraphernalia and weaponry of war to tell the story of conflict; while the journalist Janine di Giovanni reports on ordinary people caught up in the fighting in Syria. The human rights lawyer Philippe Sands looks back at his own family's history to make sense of crimes against humanity. Producer: Katy Hickman.

Prominent people in a particular line of work read and reflect on the writings of an illustrious forebear of the same trade. The essays are partly about ideas and how they change, but also about the practice and the human experience of being a certain kind of thing; be it a teacher, a soldier a critic or a journalist.Soldier and author Harry Parker, relives The Personal Memoirs of Ulysses S Grant, through the lens of his own experiences in Helmand province. Grant fought in the US Mexican War and then commanded the Union armies in the American Civil War. Reading Grant's spare prose Harry reflects on the changes in the way war is experienced, consumed and portrayed.Producer: James Cook.

Harry Parker begins the third and final part of his conversation with This Writing Life by considering the emotional effects of his tours in Iraq and Afghanistan. ----more---- From there we moved onto:  writing about the war from the perspective of the occupied and the insurgency 'All I wanted to do was tell a good story' 'There is this idea that laying mines is a really unfair way to fight wars. I always thought dropping a hellfire missile from a drone was also unfair.'  futility and waste: 'War is just shitty' how much is a life worth: occupiers vs occupied? 'You can't just do these things with military force...' ISIS, Assad, Iraq: the future of the world 'If there are any themes they are compassion, recovery, but also trying to reframe how we view conflicts' what next for Harry Parker?

The second part of our chat with Harry Parker about his debut novel Anatomy of a Soldier begins with a cheerful discussion of decay and destruction of both objects or people. ----more----Parker prefers the word entropy while discussing his own recovery after the bomb blast that destroyed his legs. From there we moved onto:  can fiction resolve trauma?questions of identity: what Parker sees in the mirror'fetish of the possible': prosthetic limbs as objects of hopevalue and cost: how much is a human life worth?anger and mourning: recovery and resolutionwould Parker shake hands with the man who blew him up'If you are going to be stupid enough to be a soldier, then you have got to expect that this stuff might happen'empathy or hatred: Parker's view of the insurgentsthe Parker family's relationship with the British armywhy did he join up'The best soldier is anti-war...''It's bloody difficult': the challenges of fighting in Iraq and Afghanistandid the occupying armies make life better or worse?fear and boredom: life as a soldier on duty

Harry Parker's debut novel Anatomy of a Soldier is narrated by objects, 45 things – ranging from dog tags to a bomb to a mattress – that witness the life of Captain Tom Barnes during and in the aftermath of war in the Middle East. Inspired by the novel, our theme is OBJECTS, and in addition to interviewing Harry we look at all those things that populate our favourite books, from King Arthur's Excalibur to Desdemona's handkerchief.

Harry Parker is a painter and, thanks to his debut Anatomy of a Soldier, a novelist. Before he was either of those, he served in the British Army, first in Iraq and later Afghanistan. ----more----His experiences form the basis for his first book - above all the day he stepped on a landmine planted near his camp in Helmand Province. Parker lost both his legs and endured years of intensive physiotherapy. These absorbing and moving scenes tell only part of Tom Barnes' fictional story. Anatomy of a Soldier is a courageous novel is all sorts of ways. It is narrated from the perspective of over 40 objects, ranging from shoes to bombs, infections to a handbag. It also attempts to present the occupation from the point of view of the occupiers - insurgents and moderates alike. When we met at Faber & Faber's London offices, we began by discussing the challenges of writing a first book. 'I definitely felt like a beginner...I am not that well read.' Parker recalled dictating sections using transcription software in an attempt to get the story moving. From there we moved to: his first attempts at writingundertaking an Arvon course with Toby Littto autobiography or not to autobiographythe power of inanimate objects'I tried to write a book about animals and it was pretty knickers'life v fiction: Harry Parker v Tom Barnes'Is it memoir? Not for me...'a precis of Anatomy of a Soldieroccupiers or the occupied?how autobiographical is Anatomy of a Soldier'I didn't want to write about conflict in a way that sentimentalised it...but I did want to capture some of the excitement''I made a mistake': Parker's injurieshow war objectifies
