Visit us at Network2020.org.2024 is a significant year for the trilateral relationship between the U.S., Mexico, and Canada. It marks the 30th anniversary of the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which laid the foundation for the 2020 USMCA deal. This is also an election year in both the U.S. and Mexico, the results of which will play a crucial role in shaping the future of these relations. Whichever administration wins the 2024 election will review the USMCA in 2026 and shape the region's trajectory in various areas. With the current geopolitical climate pushing the U.S. to re-evaluate its nearshoring strategy to enhance security and economic ties with its North American neighbors, what is the current state of economic relations between the U.S., Mexico, and Canada? What opportunities and challenges lie ahead for this trilateral relationship in light of the 2024 elections? And what future does the USMCA hold?Join us for a conversation between Mr. Goldy Hyder, President and Chief Executive of the Business Council of Canada; Dr. Joshua Meltzer, Senior Fellow at the Brookings Institution; and Professor Pamela Starr, Professor of the practice in the Department of Political Science and International Relations and in the Public Diplomacy program at the University of Southern California, where they will discuss these questions and more.Music by Sergii Pavkin from PixabayMusic by Aleksey Chistilin from Pixabay

This is a free preview of a paid episode. To hear more, visit chadcrouch.substack.comCastle Canyon is in The Mount Hood National Forest, a stone's throw from the little hamlet of Rhododendron. It isn't a what I'd call a canyon. It's a wooded ridge with some striking volcanic rock formations rising out of it. Two steep creek canyons do cut troughs in the landscape on either side of this ridge, so it's not devoid of canyons, but the “castle” bits don't mix with the canyon bits in an obvious way. The short trail that leads up to these rock pinnacles is quite steep, utilizing just a few switchbacks to climb 800 feet in less than 3/4 of a mile.The soundscape here is unique. I'd call it airy, reverberant and fuzzy. The sound of the distant tumbling creeks bounces up through the Douglas-fir and hemlock woods, mixing with the breeze playing off the leaves of alders and big-leaf maples, forming a bio-acoustic hum. Its frequency changes subtly as I climb the trail. This is not a soundwalk I would recommend listening to in the car. Its features are nuanced and easily lost in a din. I mixed the soundscape more in the foreground than in the past, embracing all that fuzzy creek sound. It's probably best experienced in headphones or a quiet environment. I've also been utilizing more of the stereo sound stage lately: placing instruments in the mix solidly in the left or right channels. After all, this is how the birdsong registers. When you listen with headphones and close your eyes you can often picture the birds in imagined space. Pacific Wrens can be heard singing and calling at different points, along with Golden-crowned Kinglets and Dark-eyed Junco. A distant Pilieated Woodpecker's laugh is heard and in the opening minutes, and midway through a raven honks and vocalizes in “subsong” (birdsong that is softer and less well defined than the usual territorial song, sometimes heard only at close quarters).My score is melodic, as always, but always rising through the scale, playing off the rising pitch and evolving timbre of the creek sounds on the climb. For the instrumentation I challenged myself to leave piano out this time. With small songbirds so prominent in the soundscape, I tend to gravitate to “smaller” sounding instrument voices: glockenspiel, circle bells, flute, wispy synths. A clarinet plays out a theme at several points. One interesting addition to the instrumentation is Joshua Meltzer's “Panjo”, a clever virtual instrument hybrid playing either baritone banjo or pan drum sounds for each note from the phrases I play on the keys. Never the same twice. It sounds like a dreamy, twangy music box.Just over a week ago I finished submitting the next dozen soundwalks to come after this one, cementing the biweekly release schedule up to December! So, I know well what is in the future for Soundwalk and I don't think it spoils any surprises to say they more or less follow the trajectory set by Castle Canyon Soundwalk. What I don't quite know is what I will create over the summer and fall, having freed up my schedule, but I'm hoping to experiment, take some risks, and branch out! In that spirit, I'll leave you with this short video of the trail to the pinnacles viewpoint at Castle Canyon. Thanks for being here. I hope you enjoy Castle Canyon Soundwalk. It will be available on all streaming platforms (Spotify, Apple, Tidal, Amazon, YouTube…) tomorrow May 17.

Behind every iconic moment of Dexter was a passionate team who helped bring it all together. Executive Producer Scott Reynolds talks to editor Amy Duddleston, set designer Arthur Chadwick and prop master Joshua Meltzer about the behind-the-scenes elements that went into making the series.  

Season 2, Episode 4: How do you regulate in such a fast changing environment?  In this episode we've included discussion during the panel on regulating in such a fast changing environment, and the idea of regulating for outcomes.  Panelists highlighted a number of perverse outcomes that they've seen where, for example, inferior technology solutions needed to be advanced in order to met the regulatory requirements.  This is another area where innovation on the regulatory front is required. You'll hear a number of voices from those in the room and our panelists: Andy Prow, co-founder of Kiwi cybersecurity firm RedShield, Joshua Meltzer and Stephanie Honey who has featured in our earlier episodes. The idea of regulatory experimentation and regulatory sandboxes is discussed to encourage regulatory innovation. This is the kind of conversation we need to be encouraging.  In the next episode we cover: What are some next steps on digital trade? Further information on this seriesThis current series on digital trade follows the release of our latest report on the future of New Zealand-United States digital trade, the challenges experienced by our digital exporters, and the case for a digital services agreement.What we're focusing in on for this series of episodes - are some of the current and future policy issues in this space.Looking at questions like - what is digital trade, what is a digital trade agreement, the best vehicle for an agreement with the US, why do one of these agreements, in the US political and policy context what's actually possible on trade, how can you regulate in such a fast-changing environment and what's the best approach, what are some of the next steps that New Zealand and the US could take right now.We're doing this in very short, single question episodes, generally 8-10 minutes long.Host biography:Jordan Small: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordancsmall/jsmall@nzuscouncil.orgFor comments and feedback:Email: podcast@nzuscouncil.orgFacebook: facebook.com/nzuscouncilTwitter: twitter.com/nzuscouncilWebsite: nzuscouncil.org

Season 2, Episode 3: What's happening with US trade policy and what's possible on digital?In this episode you'll hear from Joshua Meltzer, Senior Fellow - Global Economy and Development with The Brookings Institution in Washington DC where he has a specific focus on digital trade.Joshua is an Australian who has been based in Washington DC for the last 14 years. He gives us his thoughts on the current US trade position and policy and what he thinks might be possible.  Clearly he doesn't see the Comprehensive and Progressive Transpacific Partnership - or the CPTPP - as a realistic prospect.  Even more so now that China has applied to accede it to the agreement. But he thinks digital might provide an opportunity for US leadership on the trade front. He also picks up on the EU-US trade and technology Council's agenda which he thought gives a feel for the direction of US trade priorities on digital and technology, and the drive of the US to work with trusted partners on digital and technology issues. In the next episode we cover discussion on regulating in such a fast changing environment. Further information on this seriesThis current series on digital trade follows the release of our latest report on the future of New Zealand-United States digital trade, the challenges experienced by our digital exporters, and the case for a digital services agreement.What we're focusing in on for this series of episodes - are some of the current and future policy issues in this space.Looking at questions like - what is digital trade, what is a digital trade agreement, the best vehicle for an agreement with the US, why do one of these agreements, in the US political and policy context what's actually possible on trade, how can you regulate in such a fast-changing environment and what's the best approach, what are some of the next steps that New Zealand and the US could take right now.We're doing this in very short, single question episodes, generally 8-10 minutes long.Host biography:Jordan Small: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jordancsmall/jsmall@nzuscouncil.orgFor comments and feedback:Email: podcast@nzuscouncil.orgFacebook: facebook.com/nzuscouncilTwitter: twitter.com/nzuscouncilWebsite: nzuscouncil.org

Season 2, Episode 2: Do we need a digital agreement with the US and what's the best vehicle?  In this episode we'll hear again from Stephanie Honey this time answering the question, what's the value in doing these digital agreements, and a thought on the best vehicle for doing this type of agreement with the US.  Toward the middle of the excerpt is an interesting question and comment from Stephanie on legitimate exceptions to the free flow of data - when can governments restrict the flow of data, in what areas is it valid for government's to preserve “policy space” and the ability to regulate. Which of course is an especially hot topic in trade.This leads into the next episode where Joshua Meltzer answers: What's happening with US trade policy and what's possible on digital?   Further information on this seriesThis current series on digital trade follows the release of our latest report on the future of New Zealand-United States digital trade, the challenges experienced by our digital exporters, and the case for a digital services agreement.What we're focusing in on for this series of episodes - are some of the current and future policy issues in this space.

President Trump is expressing interest in rejoining the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a deal he walked away from last year. The president's trade and tariff battle with China has raised fears and criticism from corporations, farmers and others. However, the rest of the members of the TPP have moved on and it may be too late for the US to rejoin. Host Dan Loney talks with Ian Sheldon, Professor of Agricultural Economics and International Trade at Ohio State University, and Joshua Meltzer, Senior Fellow in the Global Economy and Development program at the Brookings Institution, discuss the current landscape on Knowledge@Wharton.

Many US companies need to move data across borders, and it’s not just the ones you think. In addition to social media and tech firms, traditional companies like payment processors, logistics companies, and physical manufacturers also provide digital services across countries.   This makes them subject to data localization requirements, one of the key emerging issues in trade and trade agreements. Getting these requirements right will position countries to benefit from the increasingly vital benefits of the digital economy. Get them wrong, and countries will be shut out of this growth. In the case of data localization, the rules of the road are being written as we're driving on it. Thankfully our panel today has some ideas to keep us on the right path, with the US keeping to a principled approach that favors openness while safeguarding security and privacy. Guests: Christine McDaniel, a Mercatus scholar specializing in trade issues.
