Podcast appearances and mentions of james aldred

D. J. Taylor, literary critic, novelist and Whitbread Prize-winning author of the definitive Orwell: The Life and its highly acclaimed sequel The New Life, and Masha Karp, Orwell scholar, former Russian features editor at the BBC World Service and author of George Orwell and Russia, join the Slightly Foxed team at the kitchen table in Hoxton Square to take a fresh and deeply personal look at the life and work of George Orwell.  The man who wrote Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four defies categorization. In this quarter's literary podcast David and Masha sift through newly discovered stashes of letters written by Orwell in the 1930s, and share personal recollections from his adopted son Richard and other living members of his inner circle to tease out fact from fiction and explore the legacy of Orwell's life and work.  We start with the chance discovery by a Bonham's auctioneer of nineteen letters from Orwell to a girlfriend, found in a tatty old handbag on the floor of a mouse-ridden woodshed (thrillingly packaged in a nondescript envelope labelled ‘Burn after my death'). Then we're off on a journey through the many-faceted romantic, literary, social and political aspects of Orwell's short life, from the years when he was flitting between jobs and relationships in the small coastal town of Southwold and living down and out in Paris, to his death from tuberculosis in 1950 via his life-altering experience in Spain as a Republican volunteer against Franco. David and Masha draw us deep into Orwell's world – a place of gangsters with gramophones, banned books, vanishing documents, encounters with KGB spies and yet more old girlfriends appearing out of the shadows with revelatory letters – and discuss the long reach of his influence on contemporary literature and political thinking. Books mentioned We may be able to get hold of second-hand copies of the out-of-print titles listed below. Please get in touch with Jess in the Slightly Foxed office for more information.

At a Cherokee County school board meeting, parents called for action after board member Robert Rechsteiner was accused of making derogatory comments towards a transgender wrestler at an event in California. Rechsteiner has not responded to media inquiries or made any public statements about the allegations. Parents called for Rechsteiner to be punished or admonished, for all board members to receive training on LGBTQ plus and gender inclusion, and for a hearing to determine whether Rechsteiner violated the school board's code of ethics. The school board has not yet commented on the allegations or the calls for action. Two suspects have been arrested by Cherokee County authorities after a 17-pound seizure of fentanyl-laced meth was found at a house near Holly Springs.

Woodstock advances to the second round of the playoffs and will host the winner of Apalachee and Pope. Canton officials and staff held an open house to present a potential site plan for a new park in the south area of the city. Proposed amenities in the plan include a playground, dog parks, food truck area, a band stand, and a ropes course, among others. Citizens were invited to give feedback on the plan, with the kid's play area, dog parks, and tree ropes course receiving the most support.

TSW, the designer for the project, will incorporate community feedback before presenting a proposed concept to the city council in the future. Etowah's baseball team dominated Newnan on their home field, winning both games and advancing to the second round of the Class AAAAAA state playoffs. The Eagles scored double-digit runs in both games, while limiting the Cougars to just four runs across both games.

James' notes from his biog at https://jamesaldred.com 'I got my first proper break with the BBC in 1998 when they sent me to film in the rainforest canopy of Borneo. Since then I've been lucky to film in dozens of different countries and to spend long periods working in most of the worlds tropical rainforests. I've been honoured to provide camerawork for many high profile productions along the way and had the pleasure of working alongside hundreds of truly inspirational people, not least Sir David Attenborough.  Highs include filming the rare Philippine Eagle at its nest in the wild. Lows include a dose of cerebral malaria and African civil war.'

Concrete has been the building block of the world's civilisation. But the production process of cement, the main ingredient of concrete, leads to considerable carbon dioxide emissions which makes a strong case for finding and using more sustainable alternatives. In this episode of the WSP Anticipate Podcast, Laith Haboubi, Associate Director at WSP, is joined by Dr. James Aldred, Adjunct professor at Australia's New South Wales University, to explore several aspects with regards to the different alternatives of concrete components.

A very special episode for our UK fundraiser for the Philippine eagle Foundation! In this episode I am really lucky to bring together Neil Rettig and James Aldred, two amazing wildlife camera men who have both been lucky enough to film a wild Philippine eagle nest.  Neil Rettig is an award winning cinematographer based in the USA and has been championing the Philippine eagle and its conservation since the very early days of science even knowing about it. Along with his Partner Laura Johnson and friends in the early days he has been a shining light for this species and its conservation.

I have had the privilege of working with wildlife cameraman and tree rope access expert James Aldred and as he's one of the most humble unassuming people you'll meet I knew I had to get him on the talk about his incredible work and career.

A Great Spotted Woodpecker and a trail of clues reveals the connection between a garden feeder and the local woodland. Hiding in his garden shed with some very large spiders for company, wildlife cameraman James Aldred spends many happy hours in May watching Great Spotted Woodpeckers gorging themselves on the peanut feeders in his garden on the edge of Bristol. Both male and female birds regularly visit the garden and appear to fly back and forth from the direction of a woodland. Are the birds that feed in his garden actually stocking up on protein to feed young in a nest in the woodland and will those young birds return to feed in his garden when they fledge? There’s only one way to find out. It proves to be a fascinating and tantalising quest as James solves the puzzle, discovers a line of connection and unravels the truth about his garden visitors!

In August 2013, the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) reclassified the Atlas Cedar from 'least concern' to 'endangered species'. Drought as well as local pressures from grazing, logging and pests are threatening the survival of Morocco's endemic forests of Atlas Cedars. Professional tree climber James Aldred is passionate about trees and tree climbing. It's not so much the technical challenges of climbing that James enjoys but the opportunity to explore the character, structure and ecology of the tree. James travels to Morocco to explore these ancient forests and reflect on the challenges facing them. He also finds a suitable tree to climb and sleep in overnight. From his tree top hammock, he watches a spider abseiling on its silken thread and hears owls calling through the darkness. He wakes before sunrise and climbs to the top of the tree to look out across this vast ancient forest in the early morning light. It’s an unforgettable experience.
