I'm thrilled to announce that our next guest on The Mixtape with Scott is Professor Philip Oreopoulos—one of the most impactful economists working today in education and labor. A PhD student advisee of David Card, Phil is part of the distinguished lineage that helped shape the credibility revolution in applied microeconomics.Now a Professor of Economics and Public Policy at the University of Toronto, Phil has spent his career studying how education policies and interventions affect outcomes for students and workers. His work blends rigorous causal inference with real-world relevance to uncover how both the very large interventions we employ to help society, as well as the seemingly surgically narrow ones, shape the lives of workers and students. He's also a Research Associate at the National Bureau of Economic Research and a Research Fellow at the Canadian Institute for Advanced Research. His CV is full of important papers, but it's the heart behind the work that really stands out—his curiosity about the world and his desire to make a difference. In this episode, we go beyond the papers. We talk about his journey, what it was like working with David Card, and how he found his calling. It's a thoughtful, warm conversation with a scholar who represents the very best of what economics can be.Scott's Mixtape Substack is a reader-supported publication.

Nobody has moulded the UK magazine culture quite as much as James Brown.His CV makes for some impressive reading - at 22 he was the Features Editor of the NME, he founded the iconic Loaded Magazine at just 27 and would go onto work at GQ where he started their now infamous 'Man of the Year Awards' and gave an unknown chef by the name of Jamie Oliver his first food column.More impressively, he negotiated all of this whilst dealing with the unthinkable trauma of the suicide of his mother and an addiction to drugs and alcohol.His book Animal House reads like the British version of Wolf of Wall Street. Give enough free drugs and booze to an excitable group of succesful 20 somethings in London in the 90s and just see what happens!In amongst the wild stories is a inspiring story about overcoming both trauma and addiction.The James that Hamish got to meet was retrospective, wise, kind and a formidable storyteller. Like us, he is not here to tell anyone how to live their lives. His life story is one to be shared. What you choose to do with the lessons that he has learnt is totally up to you!Sit back and enjoy the wonderful James Brown!NotesJames Brown's Book: https://www.amazon.com.au/Animal-House-James-Brown/dp/1787477908James' Instagram: @jamesjamesbrownJOIN PATREON! and buy us a Cuppa so we can keep being awkward!https://www.patreon.com/user?u=81897291www.cuppa.community – The Free Social Network for the Sober and Sober Curious - Sober Events – Therapy – Sobriety Courses – Sober Groups and loads more.@soberawkward @drunkmummysobermummy@cuppa.community @hamishadamscairns @patreon @spotifyIf you are struggling with your relationship with alcohol please reach out to your local doctor, a therapist, AA Group or just chat to a close friend.

Send me a messageToday's guest is a special one, and a little shorter than normal. Kevin Bell's prestigious career is incredible - in 2024 he received an award of Officer of the Order of Australia for his 'distinguished service to the law and to the judiciary, and to human rights through education and reform. For fifteen years from 2005-2020, Kevin was a Justice of the Supreme Court of Victoria, where he sat in all divisions of the court. During that time he played a pivotal role in the implementation and operation of the Victorian Charter of Human Rights and Responsibilities Act 2006 within the Victorian legal system. He was the Commissioner of the Yoorook Justice Commission from 2021 to 2023, and is also the inaugural patron of Tenants Victoria. His CV, credentials and achievements are immense, but today he is on the show to talk about his excellent but harrowing book Housing: The Great Australian Right.If you're in Australia, you know people here have a pathological obsession with it. From owning it, renovating it, watching shows about it, scrolling property search apps, talking about it, going to Bunnings seemingly at every opportunity. That's barely the picture though - Australia is in the midst of a housing disaster, one where there has never been more homeless people in this country, more people in insecure housing, more people in unaffordable housing and never as much mortgage debt. The system is fundamentally broken in just about every way for the majority of Australians. Yet the debate about the problem is reduced to mediocre and divisive arguments about supply, immigration and funding. Kevin's book is a must read, one I cannot impress every single one of you out there get a copy of and read. It's informative, moving and imaginative. It paints a picture of the historical context of housing in Australia and how this disaster has materialised as a form of slow violence over years, decades and centuries, going back to colonisation, terra nulius and the implantation of the British property system.As a person who experiences a version of housing insecurity - someone who is having his rights adversely affected - this is personally very important to me. It should be to every single Australian - housing is the foundation of every individual's prospects in their life and for their human rights to be protected, respected and fulfilled.I'm conscious human rights can often seem like something fluffy, soft, unnecessary. How is it though that Australia is the only western liberal democracy without a Bill of Rights or Human Rights Act? Why is it that every major governmental or corporate mess or the results of royal commissions seem to be rooted in the simple realisation that the rights of the affected people were dismissed, harmed or violated? Kevin talks about human rights simply being noted by Australians - be that in legislation or in corporate policy documents. Housing, the climate crisis, aged care, First Nations peoples, domestic violence - each of these complex problem fields and many others are underpinned by a misunderstanding, a complacency or a dismissiveness of what we all hold valuable and expect as humans - our inalienable rights and fundamental freedoms are protected, respected and fulfilled.Until next time, thanks for listening.Today's show is delivered with Altiorem.

Today, I have the privilege of hosting Dr. Michael Roizen, a renowned expert in reversing and rebooting aging. His CV is extensive, you can read about him here. In 2007, Dr. Roizen was named Chief Wellness Officer at Cleveland Clinic, the first such position in a major healthcare institution in the United States. The concept might sound like something out of science fiction, but Dr. Roizen discussed real scientific endeavors aimed at reversing biological aging. He opened up about cutting-edge technologies such as 3D organ printing – which may one day allow us to replace aged organs with new ones – and research on telomeres and stem cells that are at the forefront of longevity studies.Key Takeaways:Reversing Biological Age: Dr. Roizen discusses how we can not only prevent but reverse our biological age through various methods.Future Innovations: A glimpse into future advancements such as 3D organ printing and breakthroughs in research that could allow us to reset our age back to our forties.Real Age Concept: An explanation of Real Age – an assessment tool that determines your body's health relative to your calendar age based on lifestyle choices. Take the Real Age test at ShareCare.com. Caveat. I took the test, which is long but multiple choice, and I knew based on some of the questions I was in trouble. The algorithm recommended that I don't eat enough whole grains--I eat almost none--or legumes, not good for my genetic profile, or fruit. I don't love fruit but do eat about two apples a week and berries or melon in season. It's pretty old school/western medicine oriented. I also got points off for not having a flu shot every year and never having had a pneumonia vax. Preventing Structural Change: Importance of avoiding severe structural damage now so you can benefit from potential future therapies.Health Parameters & Longevity Preparation: Insights into six parameters of health including diet, exercise, stress management (highlighted as most important), connection with others, and sleep quality.Metformin and Aging Debate: Discussion about Metformin's role in anti-aging; while it has been hyped up within certain circles, Dr. Roizen advises caution unless pre-diabetes or diabetes is present.Telomere Testing Accuracy Concerns: Skepticism around telomere length tests due to variability; emphasis on stem cell telomeres being more crucial than other cells' for longevity.Fasting Mimicking Diet (FMD): Explanation of Valter Luongo's FMD which resets genes allowing for increased stem cell growth upon resuming a normal diet after fasting periods.Supplements That Work: A brief mention at the end regarding supplements that may provide more benefits than risks according to Longevity.com's scientific advisory board evaluations - baby aspirin twice daily, CoQ10, probiotics like Bifidobacterium animalis ssp lactis HN019™️ , vitamin D above 50 ng/ml levels and half a multivitamin twice daily were highlighted among others.Dr. Roizen's latest book, he has written or co-authored numerous books, is

From a place of frustration and disappointment, Jesus shows up and everything changes. The sight of an overflow commanded by the Lord would also be a shocking experience to you and I too, but amazing and unbelievable to see what he chose. Did he know that He just surrendered his life to a whole new world? His CV would not even be considered, his character reference was a downside but I wonder, what did Jesus see in him that is so hidden in human eyes. Well, that's the nature of our God, He knows what he put in the inside of each one of us, so he doesn't see us as man does. Infact, He uses life circumstances to communicate to us. This means that He knows what to do with the most difficult moments in our life and He knows how to get to our core. More than all these, He requires us to Trust Him and believe that He is who He say He is. When Peter made a decision to Trust Him the second time, he didn't look back and he became the Pillar of the Church of Jesus Christ. Throuhis works, we can clearly see a reflection of Jesus. If you and I desire to live a life of purpose, then we have to be open for divine interpretations in our dreams, goals and expectations in life. So the Lord is always on the lookout of the next candidate..... could it be you?
Eric Stark is a co-founder and President of Slate, a US-based company that simplifies social content creation for brands, making the process much faster. Winners of the 2022 ISC Sports Tech Company of the Year, they've been in business now for almost five years. Eric makes no secret of the fact that his business journey began as an NFL fan first and foremost. He rose through the NFL to become Director of International Marketing and Content Stratgey and also, Manager of International Content Strategy. His CV includes time with the San Francisco 49ers and the Kansas City Chiefs. But having worked for multiple teams, along with a business partner, he spotted a gap in the market and Slate was born. Eric gained a Bachelor of Arts Degree in Film & Media studies from UC Santa Barbara in 2012. Eric Stark on getting into the Digital Sports Media Industry: "My first role out of college was with the NFL in a digital media capacity. I will say I joined the company and was interested in the role because of the NFL side not because of the digital media side and it was a good pairing because I quickly fell in love with the digital media side and specifically, how digital media and sports come together and that started my career. I have been in the digital media and sports world ever since, but really, I was just an NFL fan who had a best friend in college with a sister who worked at the NFL and I wouldn't stop bugging her, every other week, to say in touch and then an internship opened up and I got an interview and the rest went from there!" Eric Stark on Slate's USP: When we started, it was about speed for sure. We started as a mobile editing tool only, and it really was about speed of turnaround, especially when you are in person at an event. But there is a need for all social teams across industries to just be more nimble. Yes, speed is part of that, but really it's just about being able to have an idea and to easily execute it and create content. There's a higher volume of social content that every brand needs to create and there are more platforms than ever that these brands need to create content for. That's only increasing and the need for short-form video content is only increasing and it's not easy to create this content. Teams have to use several different editing tools currently, like Premier and we are trying to make it easier for those teams to create that content without it having to pass through so many hands." Eric Stark on where Slate goes in the future: "We are starting to grow more with college athletics in the US. A lot of universities are using Slate for their athletic programmes and a lot of them that aren't, I think will start using it eventually. Outside the US, we do have some Premier League Clubs and some other international football clubs and rugby and other sports that are popular in Europe and elsewhere, but there is still a lot of room for us to grow. I am getting more interested in Premier League and international soccer and did a lot of work there when I worked at the NFL with different teams in the Premier League and I think that sport continues to have a really bright future in the US and we are seeing it grow more and more. With the Premier League on NBC and the World Cup coming soon and I live in Portland, Oregon right now, a city which really cares about it's MLS team, so that sport continues to interest me and it's something I will follow."

Paul Cocksedge is a London-based designer who has built a reputation over the past twenty years for creating projects that push the limits of technology and materials. During that time, for example, he has melted polystyrene cups in an oven to make a lamp shade, treated steel as if it was a folded piece of paper, worked with concrete from the floor of his own studio, and fused metal under the snow.

Additive manufacturing has a special place in the space beyond our own planet. It has emerged as a clear enabling technology for an entirely new generation of commercial companies targeting orbit, deep space, the Moon, and Mars. That's why I could not be any happier to welcome today's guest, Tim Berry, Head of Manufacturing at Launcher. Launcher is one of the clearest examples of the amazing results that a space startup can achieve by using AM to bring its innovative ideas to life. Tim is bringing his extensive experience as the former Head of AM at SpaceX, a company that in many ways showed the world that commercial space was possible and did so by heavily implementing AM for engine development and manufacturing early on. Tim'sexperience merges rapid, low-cost aerospace production with innovative, high-volume metal 3D printing, launch vehicle production, and crew-rated spacecraft integration during his 8+ year career at SpaceX. His CV speaks for itself From 2013 to 2019, as Falcon 9 Stage 2 Lead, he led a multidisciplinary team performing a wide array of production processes, from structures to final integration, to manufacture 90 upper stages that supported Falcon 9 missions, while significantly improving quality and exit rate. From 2019 to 2021, as Dragon 2 Crew and Cargo Integration Supervisor, he managed a large team of leads, engineers, and technicians responsible for building the integration system that produced eight Dragon Crew and Cargo spacecraft during his tenure. Finally, as the Manager of Additive Manufacturing, he oversaw all Production and Development Additive Manufacturing including Applications, Processes, and Operations Engineering as well as Technician and Scheduling teams. Here he managed a massive fleet of printers spanning 4 platforms producing hardware for all SpaceX programs and forming one of the highest volume AM labs in the world. Now Tim is starting a new era at Launcher, for himself, as the Head of Manufacturing, and for the company, which is among the most successful already in the next generation of AM-driven space startups. Today we get to ask him what comes next.

I welcome Damien D‘Souza on this episode who is a business and technology transformation leader. His CV states COO, CIO and CCO experience, yet he markets himself as an interim and fractional ‚CTO‘. With his vast years of experience across multiple industries, he has worked in his portfolio career since 2019. Things we discussed: Whilst he started his portfolio career in 2019, he started working for himself in 2012 He left the corporate world after 30 years after taking redundancy and money for a runway to try 'self-employment' Work is all about what you want to do, not why you do it Damien started with IBM, then worked for Ericsson, Hutchison and Nokia The corporate world is about politics and if someone says jump, you ask 'how high' Most jobs come through his network Whilst he is a technology leader he is also a COO but has done work in sales and marketing and supply chain in senior roles It's not what you do but how you market yourself Working with start- and scale-ups How to help businesses to evolve and deal with things It's like being a 'father', a business mentor as much as doing the job It's about value add and outcomes He prices based on projects and outcomes, with regular milestone reviews Key principles he learned early in his careers: Listen not hear Never turn up late or unprepared for a meeting Don't waste anyone's time, get the terms of reference right People need to understand what you deliver (bring people along on the journey) Interim and fractional CxOs are equal in the C-Suite rather than being a contractor You constantly pitch for opportunities Going to work for something one loves with people you like Satisfaction through using one's skills Reward is the flexibility, and pay is just as good Priority is always oneself, not the work - a life work choice he made (Life-work balance NOT Work-life balance) Younger companies benefiting from experience and an external viewpoint Skill transfer and knowledge capital being important for the future New business models emerging Get out there and engage!

Ian Kremer has worked for over 25 years on his country's dementia policies. A member of both the Virginia State Bar and the American Bar Association, he was a director of the Alzheimer's Association focussing on state and local policy in Virginia, Maryland and the district of Columbia for 16 years before moving to head up the Washington DC-based Lead Coalition in 2012 – LEAD, L-E-A-D, stands for Leaders Engaged on Alzheimer's Disease. LEAD is a national coalition of over 200 member and allied organisations – from charities, pharmaceutical companies, neurological societies, academic and research institutes, healthcare and homecare providers – all of whom work to raise awareness of dementia and accelerate progress in three fields – the first, care and support; the second, detection and diagnosis and the third, research into prevention, treatment and cure. Ian, who has been LEAD's executive director for the past ten years, sees his biggest achievement in that time as (mostly) – his qualification – unifying the community of dementia advocates which was very fractured when he joined the coalition. Now, he says, though they don't agree on everything, the community agrees and collaborates on most and, importantly, it has productive and open lines of communication even when there are disagreements. This strength in unity has brought some great results, such as a whopping 700pc increase in dementia research funding at America's medical research agency and what Ian describes as a substantial expansion of the public health approach to dementia.I also explore with Ian the similarities and possible differences that exist between our two countries in the way we view and treat those with dementia and their families and carers. We discuss the extent to which stigma still lingers over the condition in America, as it does here, and whether the level of awareness and knowledge of dementia has increased in the US.For as long as he can remember Ian says he's lived his life by two maxims: Tikkun Olam, which roughly translated from the Hebrew means to “repair the world” and Martin Luther King Junior's words, “the arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice”. Which is something we all need to hear right now. His CV reveals that he is true to his beliefs. As well as his national role at the LEAD Coalition he holds over a dozen volunteer posts in health, dementia and care. He participates in several national steering committees, including a research summit on care and support for those with dementia and their carers, and he's a member of the executive committee for dementia friendly America.“For me”, Ian told me, “working with and for people who have dementia is just one way I can contribute towards repairing the world and helping to accelerate the bending of the moral arc towards justice”.

From a rogue radio operator, to Bugs Bunny, to the lady who recorded all the time and temperature message for the phone company, we look at some history and notable names in voicework (which is what I do for a living, hire me!)

Links to all the research resources are on the website. If you logged onto the internet between say ‘95-2005, you'd inevitably hear two things, the shriek of a modem, like a robot orgy in a combine harvester, and a cheery man's voice saying, “Welcome” and “You've got mail.” Elward Edwards recorded those phrases for $200 in 1989, when his wife worked for Quantum Computer Services, the company that later became AOL. At its peak, AOL had 23 million users, all hearing Edwards' voice. He briefly returned to public attention when a video of him saying the iconic line was posted on social media, by one of his Uber passengers. My name's … Every topic I cover on YBOF is interesting to me, anywhere from a little ‘huh' to an all-consuming passion that dictates everything from my daily schedule to my podcast listening. This is one of those, because I do voiceovers for a living. Hire me today, no job too small. With a chronic idiopathic pulmonary condition, covid provided a real kick in the pants to finally get out of retail. What I discovered, apart from how it's not as easy as you think, or at least as easy as I thought with two years of podcasting already under my belt, is that VO is everywhere! It's not just cartoons and dubbing movies. Phone menus, kids toys, GPS, pre-roll ads on YT, website explainer videos, e-learning/training, continuing education, audiobooks, podcasts of course, guided meditations, seriously we could be here all day. Even computerized voices usually start with a real person, more on that later. Kids these days may not hear a voice that was unbelievably common in the lives of many of us. [sfx “At the tone, the time will be 7:22 and 40 seconds,” “I'm sorry, the number you have dialed is no longer in service”] That's the authoritative voice of Jane Barbe, one of the most widely-heard voices ever. Barbe was the queen of telephone recordings, estimated to have been heard 40 million times a day in the 1980s and early 1990s, everything from automated time and weather messages to hotel wake-up calls. She wasn't the only person who recorded automated phone messages, but she practically had the market cornered. Barbe did most of her recordings for Atlanta-based Electronic Telecommunications Inc., which at one time produced as many as 2,000 voice messaging systems for businesses and government agencies, and for Octel Communications, which is now a part of Bell Labs/Lucent. She was heard on 90% of “intercept messages” -- the recording played when something is wrong with a phone number -- and 60% of automated time and temperature calling programs. You see, children, before you had the exact time and the collective knowledge of humanity to take to the toilet with you, you might go to the nearest telephone and dial a number you had committed to memory, probably the wildest part of this story, so a recording could tell you the time and temperature. While I still haven't encountered my own voice in the wild, which was especially disappointing after I voiced a local political ad, Jane Barbe misdialed her calls as much as the rest of us, an experience she described as “really weird.” One time she overheard her mother dialing a number and getting her on a recorded message. ‘Oh, shut up, Jane!' her mom groused before slamming down the receiver in exasperation. The story of how our go-go tech-driven lives became infused with voiceovers well predates YT and phone menus. We have to go back over a century, to the night of Christmas eve 1906. Up to that moment, the ship wireless operators for the United Fruit Company, along with the US Navy, had only heard Morse codes coming through their headphones. But suddenly, they heard a human voice singing “O Holy Night” with violin accompaniment and afterwards a reading from the Bible. This was heard by ships along the Atlantic northeast coast and from shore stations as far south as Norfolk, Virginia. A repeat broadcast was heard on New Year's Eve as far south as the West Indies. The voice was that of Canadian inventor and mathematician Reginald Fessenden, who was responsible for establishing the first transatlantic wireless telegraphic communication and what is considered to be the first voice work. Fessneden was excited by Alexander Graham Bell's new device, the telephone, and set out to create a way to remotely communicate without wires. In 1900, working for the United States Weather Bureau, Fessenden recorded the very first voice over: a test he made reporting the weather. The following year, Guglielmo Marconi, who is often credited as the father and inventor of the radio became the first person to transmit signals across the Atlantic Ocean. Though wireless communication was invaluable in WWI, broadcasts to the public were largely regional, amateur affairs. The first radio news program was broadcast August 31, 1920 by station 8MK in Detroit, Michigan, which survives today as all-news CBS station. The first college radio station began broadcasting two months later from Union College, Schenectady, New York. Around the same time, station 2ADD (call letters were weird in the beginning), aired what is believed to be the first public entertainment broadcast in the United States, a series of Thursday night concerts that could initially only be heard within a 100-mile (160 km) radius and later for a 1,000-mile (1,600 km) radius. It wasn't much, but it was the start of broadcast voice work. The average person knows off-hand that the first movie with diegetic, or native, sound was The Jazz Singer in 1927, but the biggest event in voice work came the following year -- the first talkie cartoon. It was Steamboat Willie, with the prototype for Mickey Mouse voiced by none other than creator Walt Disney. Hot on its heels came next year's Looney Tunes the following year. And that's t-u-n-e-s like music, not t-o-o-n-s like cartoon. In the early days of animation, Disney produced short animated films called “Silly Symphonies,” to promote and sell music, in the form of records and sheet music. As Silly Symphonies gained popularity, Warner Brothers created its own equivalents, “Merrie Melodies”“Looney Tunes.” As for the “looney” part of the title, Warner Brothers wanted to indicate that “[their] cartoons were a little wackier than the sweeter characters of Disney.” Cartoons quickly solidified their place as entertainment for children and adults alike. One man in particular made Looney Tunes a powerhouse, “the man of a thousand voices” - Mel Blanc. He is considered to be the first outstanding voice actor in the industry and voiced Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, Daffy Duck, Tweety Bird, Sylvester the Cat, Yosemite Sam, the Tasmanian Devil, Marvin the Martian, Pepé Le Pew, Speedy Gonzales, and many others. Raised in Portland, Oregon, he worked at KGW as an announcer and as one of the Hoot Owls in the mid-1930s, where he specialized in comic voices. It took him a year and a half to land an audition with Leon Schlesinger's company, where he began in 1937. He also worked for Walter Lantz, Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, Columbia, and even Walt Disney until Schlesinger signed him to an exclusive contract. One of Mel Blanc's most important contributions to the voice over industry is the recognition that voice artists now get to enjoy. Originally, voice artists were not given screen credit on animated cartoons. After he was turned down for a raise by tight-fisted producer Leon Schlesinger, Blanc suggested they add his name as Vocal Characterizationist to the credits as a compromise. Not only did it give a greater recognition to voice artists but also from then on, it helped to bring Blanc to the public eye and quickly brought him more work in radio. We almost didn't have as much Mel Blanc voice-work as we did. On January 24th, 1961, Blanc was in a near-fatal car accident on Sunset Boulevard. He suffered multiple fracture to both legs and his pelvis, as well as triple skull bone displacements. He lay in a coma, unresponsive, for two weeks. After many doctors' attempts to bring him out of the deep unconsciousness, one of his neurologists tried a different approach and asked Blanc, “How are you feeling today, Bugs Bunny?” After a moment, in a low voice, he replied, “Eh… just fine, Doc. What's up?” The doctor then asked if Tweety was in there too, to which Blanc replied: “I tot I taw a puddy tat.” Mel Blanc recovered shortly after and continued to do what he did best, until his death at age 81. His tombstone in Hollywood Forever Cemetery reads “That's all, folks.” Bonus fact: Bugs Bunny's habit of eating carrots while delivering one-liners was based on a scene in the film It Happened One Night, in which Clark Gable's character leans against a fence, eating carrots rapidly and talking with his mouth full to Claudette Colbert's character. The trouble was, Mel Blanc didn't like carrots. He would bite and chew the carrots to get the sound needed and immediately spit it out. MIDROLL Hopping back to Disney, the house of mouse also pioneered the full-length animated feature, to much soon-to-be-disproven skepticism and derision, with Snow White in 1937. Adriana Caselotti was the daughter of Italian immigrants living in Connecticut. Both her mother and older sister sang opera and her father gave voice lessons, so making best use of one's voice was sort of their thing. After a brief stint as a chorus girl, when she was only 18, Caselotti was hired to provide the voice of Snow White. She was paid $970, equivalent to $17K today, typical for the non-union times. In most Hollywood stories, this would be step one of a meteoric rise. The movie was certainly a success, even briefly hold the title of highest grossing sound film, so why isn't Adriana Caselotti a household name? All my research indicates that Disney did it on purpose. Caselotti was under contract with Disney, so she couldn't work for other studios, but Disney never provided her with any other roles. Even radio and TV legend Jack Benny was turned away, with the explanation, “That voice can't be used anywhere. I don't want to spoil the illusion of Snow White.” It's the same reason Disney didn't credit voice actors for the first six years of feature films; he didn't want anything to remind the buying public that the characters are just make-believe. Caselotti's only other cinematic contribution, for which she was paid $100, was to sing the falsetto line "Wherefore Art Thou, Romeo", in the Tin Man's song in The Wizard of Oz. She was a lovely girl; you can see pictures of her if you're listening to the show on the Vodacast app. I've actually got a few bullet points on the dark secrets behind the happiest place on earth. There's enough to fill a movie. I can see the trailer now. “In a world…” I can't do the voice. Only one man could, the epic movie trailer guy, Don LaFontaine. Donald LaFontaine was called, “The King,” "Thunder Throat" and "The Voice of God." His CV includes 5,000 movie trailers and over 350,000 television commercials, network promotions, and video game trailers. His signature phrase, "in a world...", is so well known and parodied, LaFontaine parodied it himself in a Geico ad. [sfx] LaFontaine was born in 1940 in Duluth, Minnesota. to Alfred and Ruby LaFontaine. At age 13, his voice changed, all at once, mid-sentence, and never went back. He began his career as a recording engineer at the National Recording Studios producing commercial spots for Dr. Strangelove: Or how I learned to stop worrying and love the bomb. LaFontaine worked behind the mic until 1964, when he had to fill in for a missing voice actor to finish a promo spot for 1964's Gunfighters of Casa Grande for a client's presentation. The client bought the spots, and LaFontaine's career as a voice actor began. LaFontaine developed his signature style of a strong narrative approach, and heavy melodramatic coloration of his voice work. In 1976 LaFontaine started his own company producing movie trailers. He moved to Los Angeles in 1981 and was contacted by an agent, launching a career that spanned three decades. LaFontaine's signature voice came with a busy schedule. He could have voiced about 60 promotions a week, sometimes more than 3 in a single day. Most studios were willing to pay a premium for his service. It has been said that his voice-over added prestige and excitement, a certain gravitas, to what might otherwise have been a box office failure. In a 2007 interview, LaFontaine explained the strategy behind his signature catch phrase, "in a world where...": "We have to very rapidly establish the world we are transporting them to. That's very easily done by saying, `In a world where ... violence rules.' `In a world where ... men are slaves and women are the conquerors.' You very rapidly set the scene." Wait, what movie wa that second one? LaFontaine became so successful that he arrived at his voice-over jobs in a personalized limo with a full time driver, until he began recording from his palatial estate in the Hollywood Hills, thanks to the internet and ISDN. It's hardly worth talking about ISDN as a voiceover today, as it's rapidly on its way out, but as a podcaster, I'm happy to. ISDN (Integrated Services Digital Network) is a system of digital telephone connections, which enables recording studios anywhere in the United States, Canada and abroad to connect digitally with voice over talent working remotely in their home recording studio. It's as clear as being in the same room. It makes a Zoom call look like two Solo cups and an old shoelace. But nobody's having a dedicated ISDN line installed these days. It costs at least $1500 for the unit, plus anywhere from $75 to a few hundred dollars per month for the service, so [sfx raspberry] onto the rubbish heap of rapidly-outdated technology it goes! LaFontaine died suddenly in 2008 and now all we're left with is the Inception noise. [sfx] I mean, it was cool at first, but now … meh. You can also hear shades of LaFontaine in the work of a Barbadian-British VO known professionally as Redd Pepper. His legal name is on wikipedia, but I don't like when mine comes up, so I won't use his. (Also, if you find out someone goes by a name other than the one on their passport, just leave it, will you? Be they trans, an actor, an exotic dancer, or a check-out girl, don't matter. You don't need to know what my “real name” is unless you're writing me a check.) Anyway, Pepper has voiced over 100 trailers, including blockbusters like Jurassic Park, Men in Black and Space Jam, so you've probably heard him, even if you thought he was the old “in a world” guy. Here's LaFontaine [sfx] and here's Pepper [sfx]. Speaking of signature sounds, if you've ever heard old movies or newsreels from the thirties or forties, then you've probably heard that weird old-timey voice. It sounds a little like a blend between American English and a form of British English. Did everyone talk that way between the world wars? Not everyone, no, only the people being recorded and they did it on purpose. This type of pronunciation is called the Transatlantic, or Mid-Atlantic, accent. Not mid-Atlantic like Virginia and Maryland, but like in the middle of the Atlantic. Unlike most accents, instead of naturally evolving, the Transatlantic accent was acquired. People in the United States were taught to speak in this voice. Historically, Transatlantic speech was the hallmark of American aristocracy and by extension the theatre. In upper-class boarding schools across New England, students learned the Transatlantic accent as an international norm for communication, similar to the way posh British society used Received Pronunciation, which we'll get to in a minute. Mid-Atlantic English was the dominant dialect among the Northeastern American upper class through the first half of the 20th century. As such, it was popular in the theatre and other forms of elite culture in that region…. Transatlantic has several quasi-British elements, such a lack of rhoticity. This means that Mid-Atlantic speakers dropped their “r's” at the end of words like “winner” or “clear”. They'll also use softer, British vowels – dahnce, fahst. While those sounds were reduce, emphasis was put on t's. In American English we often pronounce the “t” in words like “writer” and “water” as d's. Transatlantic speakers pounce on their T's, writer, water. This speech pattern isn't completely British, nor completely American. Instead, it's a form of English that's hard to place and that's part of why Hollywood loved it. With the evolution of talkies in the late 1920s, voice was first heard in motion pictures. It was then that the majority of audiences first heard Hollywood actors speaking predominantly in Mid-Atlantic English. But why do so many speakers have such a high, nasal quality? There's a theory that technological constraints, combined with the schooled accent, created this iconic speech. According to Duke university professor Jay O'Berski, this sound is an artifact from the early days of radio. Radio receivers had very little bass technology at the time, and it was very difficult, if not impossible, to hear bass tones on your home device. Speakers with pleasing full baritones were no good on early radio. The Transatlantic accent made Americans sound vaguely British, but how can you make British people sound more British, like, the maximum amount of Britishness, like a cup of earl grey tea served with a dry scone smeared with marmalade and imperialism. You teach them Received Pronunciation. Received Pronunciation, or RP, is the instantly recognisable super-British accent often described as The Queen's English', ‘Oxford English' or ‘BBC English.' RP is described as “the standard form of British English pronunciation,” though only 2% or so of Brits speak it. So where did Transatlantic pronunciation go? Linguist William Labov noted that Mid-Atlantic speech fell out of favor after World War II, as fewer teachers taught it to their students and radio and movie sound technology evolved to handle bass. It's not gone entirely, though. British expats like Anthony Hopkins still use it and it pops up in place of actors' natural British accents in movies. The example that leaps to my mind is Warwick Davis. You also know him as The Leprechaun, Professor Fliwick in Harry Potter, among 80 other roles. For his first major film role as the titular Willow in 1988, he was taught the Transatlantic accent because the studio heads thought that Americans wouldn't be able to understand his British accent. *sigh* I could probably do a whole episode on executives thinking the average person was sub-moronic. Did you ever once have a problem with Warwick Davis' accent, or anything less clear than Brad Pitt in Snatch? Pop on to our social media…
Dr Joe is a Homeopathic Practitioner, born in Brussels, then living in several different countries before deciding to settle in New Zealand. In this podcast, he shares how he went from working as a surgeon, to discovering natural medicine – and believe me, he has studied pretty much studied every single natural health modality there is. He has also published 11 books and lectured internationally. He'll also be speaking of the Fibonacci series, which has completely revolutionised the “potency problems” many Homeopaths experience. His CV is so unbelievably amazing, that I included it here for listeners to peruse. Dr Joe's website is www.naturamedica.co.nz and emailed at homeosensei101@gmail.com Curriculum Vitae.

Songs To Live By is a podcast celebrating different generations of Black culture through a shared love of music. Host Vick Hope is joined by two guests, who grew up at different times, to share the songs that shaped their lives. In this episode, Vick is joined by music producers Swindle and Roni Size to talk about the importance of music history in making music of the future, bringing unity through music, the merits of getting kicked out of school and being a music pioneer. Swindle is a musician, record producer and DJ who produces grime, dubstep, and garage with a heavy dose of funk. His CV reads like a Who's who of the UK MC scene. Roni Size, is an English DJ and record producer. He came to prominence in 1997 as the founder and frontman of Roni Size & Reprazent, a drum and bass collective, who that year won the Mercury Prize for their debut studio album New Forms. Producer: Cecile Wright
One of the main reasons companies don't grow and stagnate is because they fail to execute on their planning phase. There's many reasons why. This is an area we'll cover exclusively in this episode. It's always nice when you stumble across people in strategy who have interesting backgrounds. The more diverse and strange the background, the better the strategist in my book. These people tend to be a wealth of wisdom and have a certain perspective that only comes off the back of diversity of thought which in turn stems from a diversity of life experience. Karim's career so far is strong and broad with a solid foundation of both book and street smarts. It started with a double masters in computer science and energy engineering, before he moved into product strategy and management and consulting roles. His CV is impressive to say the least. But then there's the global context. To say he's multicultural is an understatement. He's lived and worked in 7 different countries which beats my measly 4. And this global curiosity must have helped land a role at the business travel division of Expedia group. Here he led global projects to help create a customer obsession culture in order to drive business growth. Managing a 15m budget and bringing together over 7 different departments to make them more customer centric was no easy feat. He's just finished a product role at Safety Culture at the start of 2021, which is an Australian unicorn startup. Currently, he's in a senior leadership role at Cascade - a strategy software platform that's focused on bridging the gap between planning and execution for multi-business unit companies. And this is why we had to talk Connecting these two phases is one of the most challenging things a company will ever do. This whole episode is on just this topic. But by listening you will pick up so much more value. You'll learn why companies don't follow through and what are the 3 main things that prevents them. You'll find out which things need to be present for strategy to work really well. You'll find out why we're both dismissive of bridging in external consultants into a grey-haired boardroom to do annual strategy days. You'll learn which question you should ask yourself before starting any task which will instantly make you more strategic. Find out the main things which prevent innovation and all the true hallmarks of innovative companies. Learn why company culture is so pivotal and underestimated as a successful strategy driver Karim isn't a boring person. So even if strategy isn't your thing, have a listen and I'm sure you'll pick up quite a few handy tips no matter what job you do. Ciao for now.
“Tales From The Terramar” The San Diego born C. Gibbs sounds like the surf. But not the sunny part--the deep, dark part. The part that twists through fathoms and moves with a silent, but potent current under the waves. The singer-songwriter's music is a dreamy blend of California darkness and coastal soul. With a delivery that falls somewhere between Nick Cave and Simon Aldred of Cherry Ghost, Gibbs is a mesmerizing talent. His CV has quietly gotten pretty crammed, playing with both Foetus and Modern English, fronting his own band the Morning Glories and forming the chamber rock outfit Lucinda Black Bear. Since the late 90s he's put out close to 15 solo albums, all of them fantastic. From 29 Over Me to Sleep The Machines to He Arrived By Helicopter: The Shiny Hostel, Gibbs' work is always compelling and marvelous. His new album falls perfectly into that category. Tales From The Terramar is one of 2021's very best. A stirring collection that showcases Gibbs' gifts as a songwriter, Tales From The Terramar is about the ocean, about going home, and it's about the juxtaposition between the industrial and the natural world. Gibbs sings with precision and finesse and his compositions are the perfect example of how subtlety can be absolutely riveting. In this chat, Gibbs and Alex talk about his foray into the major label world, carving out time to be creative and what it was like to return to San Diego with a young family.

This is the second part of Drew's conversation with Andrew on the financial case for independence. If you haven't already listened to part one, we recommend you do so before listening to this episode. Andrew is one of the leading voices when discussing the financial aspect of independence. His CV shows an economist who is both well respected, and clearly knowledgable about the economics of independence in particular after chairing the Growth Commission report, completed in 2018. Initially, this episode was planned to be one episode of regular length. However, it quickly became apparent to Drew that the conversation was going so well that it wouldn't be right to cut it short. So, what is the financial case for independence? Roger Mullin pointed out in a previous episode, perhaps the question should be "what is the price of dependence?" Brexit has caused many issues for the UK, not least Scotland, and 62% of Scottish voters voted to remain. With so many businesses in Scotland relying on trade with EU countries, the financial case here is pretty certain. Brexit is damaging businesses and rejoining the EU is in the best interests of the Scottish people. But how easy would it be to rejoin? Much is said about Scotland's 'deficit', currency issues, and so on, Andrew explains why it would be a much more simple process. Another financial argument often made by unionists is that the pensions of those who have retired in Scotland would be at risk. Andrew outline why exactly this is not true, as well as making the point that the UK state pension is currently the worst in Europe. So, contrary to trying to protect it, we should be trying to better it. Listen to all of the above and more in this episode of Scotland's Choice.

Celtic Soul Podcast Episode 64 with More than 90 Minutes, Editor Andrew Milne chatting to Paul HeatonSheffield United fan, Paul Heaton is a singer/songwriter who has never hidden behind the door when it comes to speaking out about politics and social issues. His CV of work and hit records is vast from The Housemartins to The Beautiful South to his solo career and to his reunion with Jacqui Abbot in more recent years. The conversation picks up again when the lads chat about Italian football and Paul's knowledge of the game in Italy from the mid-eighties to the mid-nineties when the three foreigner rule was in play. Paul also remembers seeing Maradona when he was lighting up the league with Napoli.Paul Heaton playing a gig the night before a Celtic game in Glasgow is mentioned as a marriage made in heaven for Andrew and his mates while for Paul he prefers to visit old grounds as the atmosphere at the new stadiums is not the same as his team Sheffield United head for relegation and he is looking forward to going to Peterborough away.Partick Thistle v Celtic and the area around Thistles ground gave Paul a chance to see another part of Glasgow as they drift into chatting about Celtic. Paul is certainly not a fan of modern football and his love of Sheffield United is a pure and honest love.Paul has done so much good work for his community and has paid workers who have lost their jobs including the Q magazine workers who lost their jobs during the pandemic. He gets a little embarrassed when talking about this but Andrew feels that it should be noted on the Podcast.Politics, Red Cards, Fame and Money all get touched on in the conversation including Lazio's visit to Glasgow and the Green Brigades response. As with every guest on the Celtic Soul Podcast, Paul jumps into the time machine and travels back to his teenage years and a Frankie Vali concert with his Mam and an early Housemartins gig when they played in front of two people and a support slot in those early days with Madness.Paul Heaton is a true Working Class Hero who has never forgotten who he is. Fame and Money never changed him and he continues to live within the community. Paul is more push bike and public bus than Limousine and Security Guards in dark glasses.Follow Paul Heaton on Twitter @PaulHeatonSoloFollow Andrew Milne on Twitter @AndrewMilne12Playout Tune Blackwater Banks performed by Paul Heaton & Jacqui AbbotEpisode Sponsors Odd Mollies Café, Bar & Venue Droghedahttps://www.oddmollies.ie/homeMore than 90 Minutes Issue 114 Print Edition & Digital Edition is now on sale Click Link to buy Print or Digital Edition https://celticfanzine.com/product-category/new-issue/More than 90 Minutes Celtic Fanzine Subscription Detailshttps://celticfanzine.com/product-category/monthly-print-subscription/This Episodes Listeners Offer: Sale on selected Merchandise & T-Shirts https://celticfanzine.com/shop/If your business or CSC like the Podcast and would like to become a sponsor please email us at info@celticfanzine.com.

Celtic Soul Podcast Episode 61 with More than 90 Minutes, Editor Andrew Milne chatting to Paul HeatonSheffield United fan, Paul Heaton is a singer/songwriter who has never hidden behind the door when it comes to speaking out about politics and social issues. His CV of work and hit records is vast from The Housemartins to The Beautiful South to his solo career and to his reunion with Jacqui Abbot in more recent years. The conversation starts in Dublin and swings back and forward as Paul recounts stories of his travels through Ireland and talks gigs, trips and visits to football grounds and more than one or two heavy sessions during his party days in the Beautiful South. Paul's music and lyrics have had an influence on so many including Andrew as they touch on politics, history and social issues before Paul reflects back on his childhood growing up in Sheffield in a football and sports mad house before moving to Surrey where he would become proud of his Northern roots and later the Miners' Strike of 1984 would influence his politics and music. It's lovely to hear Paul talk about his relationship with Ireland and the songs he has wrote about the Emerald Isle and his respect for the people who have come along to so many gigs and the football fans who would eventually start singing his songs on the terraces and his call to the Celtic fans to follow suit after including Depeche Mode and the Stone Roses have been added to the Celtic Song Book in recent times.Paul loves his football, a love he inherited from his Dad who coached teams all his life. Paul played over 700 senior amateur games at the highest level and has a pre-gig ritual of visiting football teams from Arbroath to Rovers and Bohs in Dublin to the famous United Park in Drogheda.Paul Heaton is a true Working Class Hero who has never forgotten who he is. Fame and Money never changed him and he continues to live within the community.

A miners son Jonny's Dad would tell him when he was growing up about all three iconic football figures and their connections to the mines whenever they would come onto the television.Both Jonny and Andrew grew up in working class areas with the same political and social landscape backdrop and a wonderful musical soundtrack to life. They share their experiences from boxing gyms, watching football, the odd all night party, trips to Glasgow and music from childhood, through the teenage years to manhood. Jonny supports Cardiff City and the conversation takes in all of football culture and names crop up from time to time like Martin O ‘Neill and John Robertson from his connections with Nottingham Forest. There is plenty of chat about Busby, football culture as the conversation flows in and out about Stein, Shankly and Busby all three working class heroes who would not only conquer the World of Football but the hearts of the communities they represented.

We’ve got another Gut Feeling podcast interview on deck this week, and it’s a doozy! The talk is with Jesse Gander, a longtime member of Vancouver’s music community as both a performer (d.b.s., Needles//Pins, Uptights, Operation Makeout, Black Rice, Ghost House, and more) and a prolific engineer/producer.Jesse gets into how he first got interested in the recording arts, from experimenting with his boombox’s bass and treble levels, to cutting four-track demos for bands in exchange for a six-pack, to investing in himself by learning Pro Tools and opening his Rec Age Recorders in his parents’ basement, to tracking countless bands these days at Rain City Recorders. His CV is massive, nearing six hundred releases and counting, including records with Japandroids, White Lung, the Pack A.D., Brutus, a Juno-winning album from Anciients, and so much more. Some things to look forward to that Jesse mentions throughout the discussion: he’s recorded new work from Brutal Poodle and Grave Infestation; he and the rest of Needles//Pins have another record coming out; d.b.s. is having their full catalogue re-released digitally through Boat Dreams from the Hill (with the possibility of some vinyl re-releases coming up, too). Also hoping that the World of S**t solo album he’s been prepping since the ‘90s sees the light of day.Third time’s a charm: I’d mentioned this in the interview and the intro, but want to clarify that the old photos of the Cramps, Nick Cave, and R.E.M. that have hung in Jesse’s various studios were taken by his dad. Hope you enjoy! Get on the email list at gutfeeling.substack.com

Mike has a huge amount of knowledge and experience working with athletes as a strength and conditioning coach!

In January of 2018, Warren Buffett, Jeff Bezos and Jamie Dimon announced the creation of a new, co-venture, to tackle the rising costs of healthcare for their company’s employees. They immediately picked famous writer and surgeon, Atul Gawande to lead it. Short on details but big on promise, just the simple announcement of this venture sent shock waves through the media and the markets. Billions of dollars in stock value for insurance companies and other health sector players vanished over night. Two years later, we have a name for this venture (Haven Health) but little else. What they’re up to, and what they’re planning, is still a big mystery. Whatever ultimately happens here, it will matter, simply because names like Amazon and Warren Buffet are behind it. The question is, how much will it matter for the rest of us? How much can anyone (even powerful billionaires) really change the American healthcare system? Today’s guest is Christopher Robertson, Associate Dean for Research and Innovation and Professor of Law at the University of Arizona. His background and research interests overlap many academic disciplines, including bioethics, health law, incentives, behavioral economics and more. His CV includes a PhD in philosophy and a law degree from Harvard. Unfortunately, Chris doesn’t have behind the scenes access to Haven Health (we know, we asked him). But, he does have a new book exploring some unique ideas and research that should certainly be on their radar, and yours. The book, “Exposed: Why Our Health Insurance is Incomplete and What can be Done About,” also includes a historical overview of our modern American health system, a history often forgotten and overlooked in today's political debates. This was great conversation and we really enjoyed having Christopher on. With that said, let’s get started…
In this podcast David talks to Kevin Hopgood. Kevin is one of Aussie Floyd's managers but also carries out tour and production management duties for many world class acts. His CV includes Toto, Jean Michel Jarre, Kylie Minogue, Mark Knopfler and many more.
The Talking Transformation Podcast conversations planned in the coming weeks are being scheduled as a “deep-dive” series of conversations with a wide variety of practitioners active in the South African housing field. We're looking back at the achievements and shortcomings of 26 years of implementation; considering current challenges and looking ahead to the future of human settlements. In this first episode of the series, we speak with Monty Narsoo who has served at the forefront of housing policy, programmes and delivery since 1994. His CV is a testimonial to activism, public service and contribution to the housing field and built environment more generally. He has served at the executive level of Gauteng Province Housing Department, as the founding Chief Executive Officer of the South African Cities Network and as Deputy Director General at the National Department of Housing. Since 2008 has been governance advisor to the National Department of Human Settlements. Few are better placed to look back and reflect objectively than Monty. We ask about the vision and the aspirations of the Mandela administration under the leadership of Joe Slovo; the tenets of the Reconstruction Development Programme (RDP) and the Housing White Paper of 1994. TTPod caught up with Monty whilst he was in Cape Town leading a capacity-building team from the National Upgrading Support Programme (NUSP). His reflections set the tone and foundation for the conversations to come. Enjoy! Recorded Feb 25th 2020 --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/talking-transformation-po/message

This week on the PRmoment Podcast, in the latest of our life stories interviews, I’m pleased to welcome Torod Neptune, who is worldwide group vice president and chief communications officer at Lenovo Group.His CV is a beautiful thing – he’s previously spent time at Weber, WE, The US House of Representatives and Verizon before joining Lenovo in 2017.Torod is also a passionate supporter of increasing the number of BAME people working in PR.Here is a taster of what Torod and I discuss:[00:01:36] Torod talks about his time working as director of strategic and crisis communications at US House of Representatives during 9/11. [00:03:22] How his time working in politics gave him an acute understanding of the detail required for stakeholder relationship management. [00:03:42] How Torod learnt very quickly that there is no such thing as an apolitical role in an organisation such as the Congress.[00:05:51] Why Torod has always been interested in the stories that were attached to issues involved in politics.[00:06:07] How, aged 8 or 9, Torod remembers going out with his politician mother and campaigning door to door.[00:08:07] Torod talks us through the difference in priority and skill that you need between an enterprise (product) based role and a group level global communications role.[00:09:42] How at an enterprise comms level you need to sell products or protect or build a sub brand that helps drive revenue at the operations level.[00:09:55] How at a group level the emphasis is on the need and the power of a master brand and a master narrative.[00:11:08] Why Torod believes product specification is no longer the sole incentive that motivates consumers to purchase – consumers today are more interested in what an organisation is about in terms of its values, principles, ethics and transparency.[00:12:48] Torod explains the reasons why he buys agency advice and time.[00:13:26] What is the most effective agency advice that Torod gets?[00:15:01] Torod talks us through Lenovo's current comms strategy and the challenge to differentiate the business by establishing it as a contributor to society with the aim of wanting "consumers to root for us and want us to win." [00:15:46] Why Lenovo is focused on creating that emotive attachment to who we are and why we make great products as opposed to the products themselves. [00:19:34] How Torod and Lenovo have changed the way they buy agency PR advice to force agencies to increase the diversity of their businesses.[00:20:00] How Lenovo mandated any agency, holding company or independent agency, which wanted to be a part of its RFI and RFP process, to disclose their diversity stats data. Also how Lenovo's account team would also have to reflect Lenovo's customer base and its employee base. [00:20:57] Why Lenovo in Torod’s words decided to "put our foot down about wanting to see real meaningful action as opposed to a lot of what's unfortunately still rhetoric in this area." [00:25:16] Why, in the US, if PR firms are not diverse. increasingly they are going to be unable to win contracts with the bigger firms.[00:25:30] Why agency diversity will become a core procurement-driven issue.[00:26:25] Why increasing diversity in your team is not only the right thing to do, it also makes good business sense. [00:27:49 ] Why Torod believes the promoting of PR as a varied and interesting career in the universities is critical.[00:28:18] Torod talks about his personal career story and the important role that mentors have played in that.[00:31:55] The problem of retaining BAME people within public relations. [00:34:14] How the use of data&
Alastair Humphries is a name probably well known in the UK within outdoor circles and by those who follow professional adventurers. His CV is quite extensive involving cycling around the world, walking across India, rowing the Atlantic and running across the Sahara to name but a few of his better know exploits. However as he's become older his awareness of what Adventure really is has changed and he has begun to question whether bigger is necessarily better. You may have seen his more recent views extolling the virtues of Micro Adventures popping up in places within various media. It appears to have grabbed the masses as being more relevant to the lives of most people. Little adventures which you can fit into one evening, one day or a few days, which don't break the bank, but challenge you all the same to overcome your vulnerability and to take (controllable) risks. In this podcast we discuss his recent book My Midsummer Morning which tells the story of his recent adventure, one where he took his own advice and deliberately placed himself in a very vulnerable situation. It is certainly a challenge on a different scale to his more well known exploits however, it is nonetheless something we all would find in these days of plenty, really difficult to do. That is to empty your pockets of everything but your passport and travel through a country with just the clothes on your back and a few basics, surviving solely on what money you can earn from busking with a violin. An instrument he only started to play 6 months prior to setting off. He had never played in front of anyone before. He had no money to fall back on. He also walked through the back lanes and wild paths through Spain. His only saving grace, was conversational Spanish. Would he starve and be miserable, or would the local population appreciate the special kind of entertainment he was about to spring on them?
Welcome to another Episode of Talking Gut, where I get to interview leading specialists in the area of gastroenterology and related systems. In today's episode I had the honour to interview the Worlds leading expert on Esophageal Disorders, Prof John Pandalfino. Prof Pandolfino is a Hans Popper Professor of Medicine and chief of Gastroenterology and Hepatology at Northwestern University Feinberg School of Medicine and was also the director at the Esophageal Center at Northwestern Medicine between 2011-2015. His CV is 27 pages way too long to cover in this introduction, but lets just say, he has multiple hospital and administrative appointments, is recipients of multiple grants and awards, Editor in chief for highly regarded Gastroenterology journals and is himself author and co-author of books, book chapters and over 200 research articles. He’s also a really nice down to earth guy. If there is anything you want to know about Esophageal Disorders, Prof Pandolfino is the person to speak to. Gastroesophageal Reflux Disorder or GERD, and both Esophageal and extra-esophageal syndromes. Diagnosis of GERD and how to treat it. We talked about his unique way of treating GERD via his GERD Precision Texas Holdem approach. We also covered other areas, including Functional Heart Burn The link between Gastrointestinal transit and Reflux We talked about belching or burping We talked about rumination We also talked about eosinophilic esophagitis and a whole lot more. This talk provides a wealth of information for medical and allied health professionals and well as the interested general public. I hope you enjoy my talk with Prof John Pandolfino.
Getting Patrick McLennan to appear on the podcast took a little bit of gentle persuasion. You see, as Patrick succinctly put it he’s as ‘’journalist by training and inclination’’ and has never wanted to be ‘’in the public eye’’ or indeed on the other side of the camera or in this case mike. Patrick is a London based producer-director who has worked as a journalist in the UK and New Zealand. His CV includes news producer at the BBC and TVNZ, as well as digital editor for Time Inc Uk TV magazines. He has produced TV news and entertainment features on personalities as diverse as Nick Cave, Clive James, Jodie Marsh and Katie Hopkins. However, our paths crossed when I went to The Picture House Central to see a screening and Q&A of the new film he has just finished co -producing and directing: The Ponds. The Ponds is a beautifully shot film that follows the lives of the swimmers at the unique outdoor ponds at Hampstead Heath right here in the heart of London. People swim at the Ponds all year round just as they did in the time of Keats and Constable. I met Patrick at the men’s Pond where this was recorded. So, forgive the odd splash as swimmer plunges into the icy cold water, or the sound of ducks and moorhens paddling by. The Ponds seems to have taken on a life of its own thanks to Patrick and his team, so join us as we dive into Patrick’s passion for getting to the heart of our everyday stories. “Generally my preference was for human interest stories, rather than hard-bitten police stories or investigations. I always preferred human interest.” [9:04] In the mid 90’s Patrick learned a lot of the skills needed for television production as a news producer, and he started trying to make documentaries with varying levels of success. If you flash forward to today, The Ponds came about after another documentary project Patrick was working on began to exceed the scope and funding he’d originally intended. In looking for another place and stories to tell, he ended up at Hampstead Heath—connecting so much with the place and the people there that he has become a year round swimmer himself. “You can hear the bird noise in the background and the three gents here having a swim. You can pretend you’re in the countryside.” [14:55] The ponds appear to be an exclusive club—but they are completely open to the public with an optional and voluntary £2 fee for entry. The variety of swimmers here and their stories are what caught Patrick and ended up deciding how the film unfolds. These stories range from recovering from serious injury, overcoming cancer, the death of a spouse, and also just wanting to meet up with friends. Patrick saw how the chilly waters act as a truth serum for anyone—it opens you up and connects you to others in a special way. [31:59] The Ponds has taken on a life of its own and is getting spread around the globe. This includes a screening Patrick attended in Brussels where they are trying to open access to ponds for public swimming. The film was brought in to show the benefits of public swimming ponds—and they currently have a trial date set to allow access. The film is being requested in other countries on a daily basis—and not just by swimmers. The stories in the film have universal appeal and I can’t recommend enough finding a screening of it near you.

Whether it's laying down a soulful groove in a studio, bringing a clinic to a euphoric climax or rocking a packed arena, Donavan Hepburn will dazzle at every opportunity. As the embodiment of the consummate all-rounder, he also numbers programming, producing and teaching as other talents that keep the phone ringing.Hepburn is a native of Saltley, Birmingham. He cut his musical teeth in church and, like many of the great gospel players before him, soon took the wider musical scene by storm. Call it soul power or divine intervention, but since landing his first professional gig with US R'n'B sensations Dawkins and Dawkins in April 1999, he's been in constant demand ever since.His CV is as long as it is varied. From the perky pop of Jessie J! to the hip-hop beats of Will I AM; from the soul of Annie Lennox to Jeff Lynnes ELO's classic sound; Donavan has laid it down with the skill and virtuosity of a master craftsman. Donavan crosses genres with ease and switches skills like changing hats, yet he fulfils every duty with the professionalism he's renowned for. Two things, however, stand out over and above everything else: his ability and, most importantly, his love of music.Donavan's raison d'etre is pure and simple: to encourage people to live their dream, whatever it is. As a programmer, producer, drummer and teacher, he's also helped people realise their dreams. The future, as they say, is bright, but few shine as brightly as Donavan's.
This week on the pod we're turning our focus to the importance of founder health and wellbeing.We invited Aaron Birkby, CEO Startup Catalyst and Co-founder of Peak Persona, and welcomed back Amanda Price Head of High Growth Ventures to the pod discuss this topic.KPMG Australia’s High Growth Ventures just released the findings from their Startup Founder Survey, supported by Blackbird Ventures, AirTree Ventures, Square Peg Capital, Reinventure and Right Click Capital, which polled founders of 70 Australian venture-backed startups.The report validates a lot of assumptions about startup founders; they work longer hours than average workers, two-third are very or extremely stressed, and 57 percent said that their stress has a large impact on the ability of their startup to succeed. Amanda explains they commissioned the research to shine a spotlight on some of the “unspoken challenges” founders face and highlight the link between founder wellbeing and business performance.Read the full report: //home.kpmg.com/au/en/home/insights/2018/08/startup-founder-research-2018.htmlOur main guest this week isAaron Birkby.

Peter Butler has had one hell of a life in football. The midfielder scored in all four professional divisions in England during a playing career spanning more than 500 games. He then forged a profession as a coach in Africa and south-east Asia. His CV includes Malaysia, Singapore, South Africa Thailand, Myanmar, Botswana, Australia and, of course, Indonesia. I spoke to him in the break in the GO-JEK Liga 1 season for Ramadan. He had led Persipura Jayapura into contention for the title. However, a few weeks after this interview, Butler would part ways with the club. As you would expect, the Yorkshireman has strong views on the sport in Africa and Asia. But he also talks with passion and perspective on the English game. Peter Butler has had a unique career in football, going to places and achieving things others have not. He is worth a listen.

He's worked with Spielberg on A.I., Chris Nolan on Inception, The Wachowskis on The Matrix movies, and Ron Howard on The Grinch. He's even worked with Joss Whedon on our beloved Buffy The Vampire Slayer. We got to have a chat with Joel about all of the above, whilst he was in a windy parking lot in Atlanta...
