Podcast appearances and mentions of John Foster

On this episode, Marc talks with Howard Weulfing. He's the author of Descenes and Discords, an anthology of two fanzines he edited in the early 1980s, documenting the burgeoning underground rock scene in DC at the time. Descenes featured interviews, record reviews, live reviews, and more, with most of the focus on DC. Discords also covered scenes around the country, publishing reports from writers such as Gerard Cosloy in Boston, Jim Testa in New Jersey, Tesco Vee in Michigan, and John Foster in Olympia.This new anthology includes explanatory introductions by Howard for each zine issue, as well as a conversation between Howard and Ian MacKaye, reminiscing about what things were like in DC back then.As Howard writes, "Our contributors were out in this community and readily accessible. We were playing shows, running record stores, simply hanging out. We got plenty of letters of criticism, clarification, and sometimes praise. We tried to process it constructively: broadening the coverage, questioning our judgements, while keeping the tone conversational and direct though often with tongue planted firmly in cheek."You can buy Descenes and Discords here.We hope you enjoy Marc's conversation with Howard Wuelfing!

In this episode of Crazy Wisdom, host Stewart Alsop talks with Richard Easton, co-author of GPS Declassified: From Smart Bombs to Smartphones, about the remarkable history behind the Global Positioning System and its ripple effects on technology, secrecy, and innovation. They trace the story from Roger Easton's early work on time navigation and atomic clocks to the 1973 approval of the GPS program, the Cold War's influence on satellite development, and how civilian and military interests shaped its evolution. The conversation also explores selective availability, the Gulf War, and how GPS paved the way for modern mapping tools like Google Maps and Waze, as well as broader questions about information, transparency, and the future of scientific innovation.

Richard Easton explains that the Navy and Air Force each had different ideas for navigation satellites in the 1960s. The Navy wanted mid-Earth orbits with autonomous atomic clocks, while the Air Force preferred ground-controlled repeaters in geostationary orbit. The eventual compromise in 1973 created the modern GPS structure—24 satellites in six constellations—which balanced accuracy, independence, and resilience.Atomic clocks made global navigation possible. Roger Easton's early insight was that improving atomic clock precision would one day enable real-time positioning. The hydrogen maser, developed in 1960, became the breakthrough technology that made GPS feasible. This innovation turned a theoretical idea into a working global system and also advanced timekeeping for scientific and financial applications.Civilian access to GPS was always intended. Contrary to popular belief, GPS wasn't a military secret turned public after the Korean airliner tragedy in 1983. Civilian receivers, such as TI's 4100 model, were already available in 1981. Reagan's 1983 announcement merely reaffirmed an existing policy that GPS would serve both military and civilian users.The Gulf War proved GPS's strategic value. During the 1991 conflict, U.S. and coalition forces used mostly civilian receivers after the Pentagon lifted “selective availability,” which intentionally degraded accuracy. GPS allowed troops to coordinate movement and strikes even during sandstorms, changing modern warfare.Secrecy and innovation were deeply intertwined. Easton recounts how classified projects like GRAB and POPPY—satellites disguised as scientific missions—laid technical groundwork for navigation systems. The crossover between secret defense projects and public science fueled breakthroughs but also obscured credit and understanding.Ending selective availability unleashed global applications. When the distortion feature was turned off in May 2000, GPS accuracy improved instantly, leading to new industries—geocaching, precision agriculture, logistics, and smartphone navigation. This marked GPS's shift from a defense tool to an everyday utility.Innovation's future may rely on decentralization. Reflecting on his father's era and today's landscape, Easton argues that bureaucratic “big science” has grown sluggish. He sees promise in smaller, independent innovators—helped by AI, cheaper satellites, and private space ventures like SpaceX—continuing the cycle of technological transformation that GPS began.

This was a special 2-hour, 16-minute Zoom program.On The Space Show website, the program is available in the audio-only format. Both video and audio are available on this Substack page.Our discussion focused on the development and evolution of GPS and the recently declassified PARCAE satellite technology. We explored their origins, technical challenges, historical context, and how they interconnected with agencies like the NRO, NRL, and broader advances in computing and satellite technologies. The conversation covered early proposals, the declassification process, and the crucial role of timekeeping, atomic clocks, and Einstein's relativity in enabling this groundbreaking work. Our guests also shared perspectives on future applications, innovation “back in the day,” system resilience, and the shift from strategic to tactical intelligence using satellites like GRAB and POPPY.After introductions, Richard provided an in-depth overview of our special guests and the PARCAE project. Lee began by referencing a 1957 Naval Research Laboratory (NRL) document that proposed two major satellite programs, one of which was PARCAE. He also shared that he is currently writing a book on the evolution of these systems, including GRAB, POPPY, and PARCAE.We examined how GPS and PARCAE—two closely linked programs—emerged. GPS, which began development in the late 1950s, utilized passive ranging for uniform accuracy across satellite constellations. PARCAE evolved from early reconnaissance satellites and focused on collecting radar signals globally, especially from the Soviet Union. GPS's ability to provide accurate geolocation greatly enhanced PARCAE's capabilities. Lee emphasized the importance of 3D mapping and global time synchronization in improving satellite positioning accuracy. We also discussed the difficulties of orbital prediction, relativistic corrections, and the eventual declassification of GPS for civilian use. Note what our guests said about getting so much data that they were overwhelmed and the early computers could not really handle.On the military front, we addressed how GPS was used for targeting and precision strikes. In response to a listener question, Lee explained that as early as 1966, the goal was to accurately know the location of both the user and the target to direct weapons effectively. The challenges included creating precise maps and compensating for Earth's motion. The GPS system reached full operational capability in 1995, evolving from 15-foot accuracy in 1977 to today's much finer resolution. The conversation also covered the complexity of GPS—its integration across organizations, multiple technologies, and the development of similar systems by other nations. Our guests discussed the foundational work of pioneers like Roger Easton (Richard's father), John Foster, Alexander Flax, Alan Berman, John McLucas, David Packard, and others.Later, a listener asked the guests to share their educational and career backgrounds. Lee spoke about earning his bachelor's in electrical engineering from Penn State, where he gained early experience in transistor design. His career took off when he was recruited by Singer and later the NRL after his work during the Cuban Missile Crisis. Peter, an EE graduate from Purdue, also found his way to NRL. Richard shared his own background as well. All three emphasized the importance of self-education and the freedom they had to explore ideas across disciplines—something they felt was essential to their success.Peter reflected on GPS evolution and expressed regret about abandoning UHF transmissions, which might have enhanced performance in forested areas. Lee emphasized the need for cost reduction in future GPS upgrades and the importance of cross-disciplinary exposure for young minds. Peter recounted how Roger Easton proposed passive ranging and how Alan Berman's expertise in atomic clocks was instrumental in advancing GPS. Peter also shared insights into clock accuracy improvements for space use and how he initially doubted such improvements were possible—until he realized it required different physics principles. When asked about using GPS on the Moon and Mars, both Peter and Lee explained the limitations. While GPS signals can be detected on the Moon, a local positioning system might be more practical. On Mars, environmental challenges like dust storms complicate signal transmission. Later, Peter discussed the Clementine mission, which mapped the Moon using cameras initially developed for the Strategic Defense Initiative. Lee noted how Clementine's data later supported encryption and high-speed networks in education and defense. They also addressed early GPS launches—Peter developed a cost-effective launch solution using surplus ICBMs, and Lee praised Peter's innovative "bow and arrow" launch method.Peter and Lee described the technical precision required for GPS accuracy, including clock modulation and carrier frequency synchronization. Applications like tectonic plate monitoring were among the early uses. Concerns were raised about GPS vulnerability in nuclear environments and its role in nuclear targeting. Peter expressed alarm over the potential for nations like North Korea to disrupt GPS via high-altitude nuclear detonations. We ended with a discussion on hypersonic weapons and the challenges of tracking them due to plasma interference with electromagnetic signals.The program concluded with a listener question about whether today's education system can produce the kind of innovation seen in early satellite development. All three guests expressed concerns, citing the need for more emphasis on freedom to explore and pursue self-education.

John Foster is a lifelong Cincinnati Reds fan from Long Island, New York. Despite growing up deep in Mets and Yankees territory, John's fandom was born from the Big Red Machine and a legendary on-field brawl during the 1973 NLCS. Since then, he's stayed loyal to the Reds—no matter how long the rebuild.John shares how his job as a flight attendant has helped him chase ballparks across the country, allowing him to visit 29 out of 30 MLB stadiums (with Truist Park still on the list). We talk about how the game has changed over time, his recent shift in perspective after a health scare, and how he's come to appreciate baseball—and ballpark chasers—even more deeply.Find Baseball Bucket List Online:Twitter: @BaseballBucketFacebook: @BaseballBucketListInstagram: @Baseball.Bucket.ListWebsite: baseballbucketlist.comThis podcast is part of the Curved Brim Media Network:Twitter: @CurvedBrimWebsite: curvedbrimmedia.com

Who's the favorite? Who's the bottom feeder? and who's the surprise team? This week, John Foster joins me in the virtual studio again to go team by team in the CPBL to preview the 2025 season,

This week, John Foster joins me in the virtual studio discussing the strengths and weaknesses of the CPBL, his thoughts on CPBL umpires, and his favorite sight-seeing places in Taiwan.

This week, John Foster 佛斯特 joins me again to discuss his coaching philosophies, the most important skill as a baseball coach, and the difference between coaching in Taiwan and the United States

This week, John Foster 佛斯特 joins me for an hour-long interview to talk about his 7-year tenure with the CTBC Brothers, what happened on the day Lin Wei-Chu 林威助 got fired, and his proudest accomplishments.

It's been a minute since I've put out a new show, and so I thought maybe I'd let you in on what has been keeping me so busy. A couple years ago, I started working on an oral history project funded by the city- appropriately titled The Olympia Music History Project. We (myself, Mariella Luz and Kelsey Smith) have since broken off from the city into our own nonprofit organization, and I'm excited to announce that we are launching olympiamusichistory.org on New Year's Day, 2025! So let me tell you about what this is: I was a part of a team that interviewed 30 people who were doing significant things in Olympia's legendary indie music scene between 1980-2002. We spoke with folks from globally revered bands like Bikini Kill, Sleater-Kinney and The Gossip, as well as hometown heroes including Young Pioneers, The Noses, Fitz of Depression, even Olympia's only known ska band of that era, Engine 54. I've learned so much working on this project- and I've heard all the interviews several times, because I'm the guy who edited them. Have you ever seen that T-Shirt that says “Reading is Sexy?” That was designed by Sarah Utter, the singer and guitarist from The Bangs. Allegedly Patrick Swayze lived here at some point, but I don't know if he ever got out to any punk shows. And yeah, Nirvana was a part of our scene for a while too, I forget what happened after they moved to Seattle.  And there were all these festivals- International Pop Underground Convention in 1991, The YoYo A Go Go festivals after that, Ladyfest- which became an international series- and a groundbreaking, grassroots rock opera called The Transfused. All these things happened in that 22-year window.  My interview with a guy named John Foster focuses on a couple of crucial things happening, that the scene- at least in part- owes its existence.  The first one is the enactment of the Green Line Policy at KAOS- that's KAOS, 89.3 FM, Olympia- a game-changing move making it against the rules to play any less than 80% independently released music. That had a huge impact on a lot of creative people that tuned in. The second is the publication of OP Magazine, a dense zine focused on independent music of every kind, and featured contributing writers like Matt Groening, Eugene Chadbourne, Jonathan Richman, on and on. This magazine was globally distributed from right here in Olympia, and served as a regularly updated encyclopedia of indie music- and where to get it. Basically, it was like a precursor to something in-between Pitchfork and Bandcamp, in the pre-internet dark ages. John Foster was at the helm for both of these endeavors, and he was one of the people I interviewed for the Olympia Music History Project, and here is our conversation, recorded in the historic Rockway-Leland building downtown.

Thanksgiving bonus! Join me for a sleep story as I read the mind twisting short story from John Foster West Cogit Ergo Sum. "I think, therefore I am. That was the first thought I had. Of course not in the same symbols, but with the same meaning. I awakened, or came alive, or came into existence suddenly, at least my mental consciousness did. "Here am I," I thought, "but what am I, why am I, where am I?" I had nothing to work with except pure reason. I was there because I was not somewhere else. I was certain I was there and that was the extent of my knowledge at the moment. I looked about me—no, I reasoned about me. I was surrounded by nothingness, by black nothingness, a vacuum. Immense distances away I could detect light; or rather, I could perceive waves of force passing around me which originated at points vast distances away, vast in relation to my position in the nothingness. There were waves of force all about me, varying in frequency. The nothingness was alive with waves of force, traveling parallel and tangential to each other without seeming to interfere one with another. I measured them, differentiated between them and finished with the task in a matter of seconds. How could I do it? It was one of the capabilities I was created with. What was I? I perceived the waves of force. I perceived great quantities of mass—solid, liquid, gas—whirling in vacuum, mass built up out of patterns of basic force. I searched my own being, analyzed myself. I was not gas. I was not solid. I was not even force. Yet I existed. I could reason. I was a beginning, a sudden beginning. And I had duration because I knew that time had elapsed since the moment I awakened though I had no means of telling how much time or of even naming the period." 

This week on the Artist Academy Podcast is an interview with artist John Foster, all about his lifelong career in custom lettering, pinstriping, and graphic design. I love chatting with artists who have lived through decades of the evolving art industry because they offer a completely different perspective compared to those who are just starting out. The evolution required to survive in this industry demands an open mind, constant learning, and the ability to adapt. There are so many differences between today's art world and that of 20+ years ago, and John has both lived through and thrived in those changes. We discuss how he got his start as an employee, eventually transitioned to being his own boss, and moved across multiple states—even to Europe—as a freelance artist. Let me know your thoughts on this interview with John Foster!

John Foster is an author, executive, angel investor, and lifelong student of markets, John's career failed its way through process engineering, operations, business management, M&A, and corporate strategy; finally failing big enough to exit. He now teaches kids the lowdown on business and entrepreneurship, hoping they will fail bigger and sooner.John discusses the transformative approach of Middle School MBA, a curriculum designed to teach middle school students advanced business and economic concepts. He challenges traditional educational methods, questioning why students aren't leaving high school with a solid grasp of subjects like calculus or business principles, and highlights the need for a curriculum that prepares them for real-world applications. He believes in confronting failure as a vital part of learning, encouraging students to embrace challenges and learn from setbacks. The conversation delves into the significance of fostering critical thinking and resilience in students, ultimately aiming to make learning more relevant and engaging.Takeaways: The traditional educational system often prioritizes the needs of teachers over the students. Students should be equipped to understand complex subjects like business and economics from a young age. Failure is an essential part of learning, and students should be encouraged to confront it. By using innovative teaching methods, we can make business principles accessible to middle schoolers. Empowering teachers to teach advanced concepts can lead to better student engagement and understanding. Resilience and perseverance are key traits that students need to develop for lifelong success.

Now that we have our own bourbon with Pursuit Spirits, we're learning first hand how distributors can make or break your brand. There's a huge learning curve to understanding the lingo and just being able to communicate on the same page. But this can be maddening if you choose the wrong distributor that doesn't give you any attention and let's your brand go stale. We invited Johnny Foster to come back on the show to give us insights on how to work best with distributors. Johnny was a guest back on Episode 227 when he was a part of Smooth Ambler but now he's at Ragged Branch and leads their sales and distribution. He gives the pros and cons of selecting large versus boutique distributors, how to spend smartly on incentives, and targeted marketing funds. Ultimately though, motivating partners comes down to building authentic relationships through regular visits and communication. Show Notes: Above the Char with Fred Minnick (@fredminnick) talks about the export market. What are you doing today at Ragged Branch? How do you motivate distributors without losing your damn mind? How do you tell a story and justify a higher price tag versus the big 6 staples? What can smaller distillers do to appeal to distributors? How do you guide people on choosing a distributor that is big or small? How do you spend money with a distributor through incentives and programs? What does it cost to get in-store displays? What dollar amount per case do you put towards programming? What makes a company look attractive for acquisition? What are successful methods for marketing and getting product off the shelf? Where do you put focus on chains vs independent stores? How do you protect yourself from contracts? Support this podcast on Patreon
