Any biography of Stephen Tobolowsky must mention, and possibly right at the beginning, his performance as Ned Ryerson, the annoying insurance salesman in Groundhog Day. But that's far from the only big credit in Stephen's IMDb page, which also includes films like Memento and Thelma & Louise. Long before he was the hugely successful actor he is today, Stephen was just another guy trying to get by in New York and that's where he met The Most Boring Man in the World, working the afternoon shift at a local bar. Stephen fills us in on that experience in a conversation that will amuse you, delight you, and put you to sleep. We also hear about Stephen's long ramble through New York whilst escaping a tryst he did not care to join.Hey Sleepy Heads, is there anyone whose voice you'd like to drift off to, or do you have suggestions on things we could do to aid your slumber?

Authors Jim McClure and Scott Mingus team up again to present more than two dozen perspectives and articles on the Civil War history of York County, Pennsylvania. That area was a key source of troops and supplies for the United States Army's war efforts, as well as a transportation hub. During the Gettysburg Campaign, one out of every seven soldiers in Robert E. Lee's Confederate Army of Northern Virginia marched or rode through York County in the days before the battle of Gettysburg. The county seat, York, became the largest town in the North to fall to the Confederates in the entire war. The town fathers' decision to seek out the Confederate leaders and surrender York remains controversial to this day. Essays discuss the historical setting and the wisdom of the surrender, as well as the aftermath. Other topics include the politics of the region, life on the home front, churches and their role, photographers in York County during the war years, and the Lincoln Funeral Train.

After eight successful years at Google, James joined what was at the time a little known travel tech firm called Airbnb to lead their business in the UK and Northern Europe. Over 3.5 years he had significant successes, as well as having to overcome a fair few challenges, before he moved to another US Headquartered Scale Up SeatGeek as their International GM Never shying away from a challenge, James joined the job search engine Adzuna, as their CCO, right at the beginning of the Covid-19 pandemic…! In this episode, we talk though James' career highlights and lessons learned including: - How he built a successful career at Google and the lessons he’s taken forward into all his roles since - His experience of working for US headquartered businesses like Google and Airbnb and how you can ensure you stand out, even if you’re on the other side of the world - Plus, how he’s dealt with starting a new exec role in the middle of a global pandemic and how he’s helped the team adapt to the “new normal” We had a brilliant time talking to James who has had such an impressive career to date. Despite holding senior roles for some of the most aspirational Tech Scale Ups that have ever existed, he has remained incredibly down to earth and we really enjoyed hearing about his varied experiences. James provides a fascinating window into the workings of Tech Scale Ups and shares some great advice for anyone looking to follow in his footsteps.

“Civil War Voices from York County, PA” “Civil War Voices from York County, PA” mixes reminiscences from the inhabitants of York County, Pa., many handed down to descendants, with a strong focus on the 1863 Gettysburg Campaign. Authors Scott Mingus and James McClure have uncovered or received dozens of previously unpublished diaries, journals, Civil War letters from the field, and similar first-person accounts that provide glimpses into the hearts of the soldiers and citizens. We see the loneliness of a Yorker serving as a guard at Fort Monroe, Va., whose mundane routine is broken by a visit from U.S. Grant and President Lincoln. We see the fear and uncertainty expressed by a worried housewife as rumors of the impending Confederate invasion reach northwestern York County. We hear the defiance in the voice of a former soldier who is willing to pick up the musket again in defense of his country. We hear the voice of a young York man who helps in the gruesome field hospitals at Gettysburg, an experience that leads him into a career as a physician. We learn how a frightened child hides silently in a cherry tree as gray-coated soldiers rode through her parents' farm. These voices, and nearly two hundred more, bring to life what it was like to live in south-central Pennsylvania during America's most tumultuous period. Scott Mingus has written “Flames Beyond Gettysburg: The Confederate Expedition to the Susquehanna River, June 1863”; “The Louisiana Tigers in the Gettysburg Campaign” five other Civil War books, an numerous magazine articles. He is a sanctioned Civil War guide for the York County Heritage Trust. He is a scientist and executive in the paper and printing industry, and is a graduate of Miami University n Oxford, OH. James McClure is the author of “East of Gettysburg: A Gray Shadow Crosses York County, PA”; “Almost Forgotten” A Glimpse at Black History in York County, PA”; and three other books on York County history. He earned a master’s degree in American Studies at Penn State Harrisburg and is editor of the York Daily Record/ Sunday News.
