University of Dayton professors John Heitmann and Todd Uhlman teach a class about 1970s American car culture and films of the era. Using examples like "Easy Rider," "American Graffiti" and "Badlands," they argue these films reflected many Americans' disillusionment and glorified the open road as a way to take back control in the face of societal changes. They also talk about the impact of oil shortages, the rise of coast-to-coast races called "Cannonball Runs," and the popularity of trucker movies and music. Learn more about your ad choices.

Automotive historian John Heitmann joins Tim to discuss the Freedom Car, the Ford Mustang and its role American lore. John digs into the history of the car, its place in popular culture and recent events surrounding the emergence of the long lost and iconic "Bullitt Mustang." The premise of our podcast is simple. We talk about the people, events and things that have shaped the way we think. In this episode, John tells the story behind the car that some vintage collectors say is an iconic American symbol of freedom, but all describe it in one word – cool. https://traffic.libsyn.com/shapingopinion/Freedom_Car_-_The_Ford_Mustang_Story.mp3 In August, the Ford Motor Company reached a milestone when it produced the 10 millionth Ford Mustang rolled off the assembly line in Detroit. The Mustang has weaved its way int our culture through advertising, music and Hollywood. It’s largely recognized around the world as one of America’s strongest cultural exports. While sales of the model have decreased in the U.S. in recent years, the car is gaining popularity overseas in places like China and Germany. Over the years the car was dubbed the original “freedom vehicle,” named after a horse that roamed free in the American West. The Ford Mustang was introduced in 1965, but it actually debuted in the Spring of 1964 at the New York World’s Fair. It wasn’t thought of as a muscle car, but rather a more affordable, sporty but appropriate for young professionals, including female drivers. The Bullitt Mustang This past year, Ford tapped a nostalgic nerve, introducing a new limited edition 2019 "Bullitt Mustang" alongside one of the original vehicles that appeared in the movie Bullitt, which was released in 1969. While the human star of the movie was Hollywood legend Steve McQueen, a case was made that th real star of the film was the Highland Green 1968 Mustang GT that McQueen drove through the streets of San Francisco. After filming was complete, a New Jersey detective named Frank Marranca bought one of the two or three vehicles used in the production. According to reports, Bob Kiernan had bought the Mustang from Marranca in 1974. Apparently, he found it in the Road and Track magazine classified and paid $6,000 for it back then. It moved around. First it was stored in Tennessee, then it was stored inside a friend’s barn in Kentucky. After that the family moved the car to a garage on their property in Memphis around 1984. In 1977, Steve McQueen approached the family to buy the car and they turned him away. Bob Kiernan loved the car, and even used it as a family vehicle for a time. According to Bob's son Sean, the two had planned to eventually work to restore the car, but sadly, bob died in 2014. It's been reported that in 2015, Sean approached Ford. Since then interest in the car has increased as the company prepared to mark the 50th Anniversary of the movie Bullitt and celebrate what is the most famous Ford Mustang ever.

On May 18, 2017, the Federal Communications Commission adopted a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking that seeks comment on reversing the 2015 Open Internet Order by reclassifying broadband as an “information service,” and potentially eliminating the bright line rules which ban blocking, throttling, and paid prioritization. The Restoring Internet Freedom Notice of Proposed Rulemaking is expected to generate millions of public comments over the course of what will be a highly contentious debate. In this episode, partner John Heitmann and associate Ross Slutsky walk through the FCC’s proposals and the possible impacts of the proposal.
On April 3, President Trump signed a congressional resolution undoing the comprehensive broadband privacy rules the Federal Communications Commission (FCC) adopted in October of 2016. The privacy rules stemmed from the FCC’s reclassification of broadband as a telecommunications service in 2015, and under the Congressional Review Act, the FCC is barred from issuing substantially the same rules in the future. Further complicating the issue is a decision by the Ninth Circuit last summer, challenging the traditional jurisdictional boundaries over common carriers between the FCC and Federal Trade Commission. In this episode, associate Ross Slutsky and partner John Heitmann explain how we got to this point, what the repeal means for consumers and providers, and what comes next for broadband privacy.
In late August, the Ninth Circuit ruled that AT&T was exempt from Federal Trade Commission oversight by virtue of its “status” as a common-carrier, and dismissed an FTC case against AT&T over its practice of “throttling” customers’ data usage. The FTC filed a request for en banc review by the full panel of the Ninth Circuit in mid-October. If the ruling stands, it could dramatically alter the jurisdictional boundaries between the FTC and FCC. In this episode, paralegal Matt Weinmann interviews partner John Heitmann on the decision and its possible implications.
In March the FCC adopted a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to create privacy rules for broadband service providers. While the FCC and its supporters argue that these proposed rules will spur increased broadband use and investment through the “virtuous cycle,” many in the industry are concerned about overly prescriptive rules and the creation of an unfair playing field for broadband providers in the digital marketing place. In this podcast, John Heitmann, Kelley Drye’s communications practice group chair, explains the history and motivations behind the FCC’s recent action, and walks through the proposal’s key provisions.
In this podcast John Heitmann, Chair of Kelley Drye’s Communications practice, and Jameson Dempsey, a Communications associate, will discuss the FCC’s order, on-going enforcement actions by the FCC and FTC, and the growing grey areas as regulators apply 20th century rules and legislation to 21st century business models and technology. John has over twenty years of experience representing the full range of communications providers. Jameson is a rising star in the office, and has often spoken on these and other issues.
