Podcast appearances and mentions of lawrence jacobs

In a trying time where PBS could be defunded and Nelvana go under, we felt it was necessary to tackle a big hitter that served as a cornerstone for the domination of educational television in the 90s. It's The Magic School Bus - an all time classic that many do not realize is technically Canadian (the best kind of Canadian). Also, some mildly depressing Canadian federal election chatter because it is actually relevant for once!Episode covered for the podcast was episode 8 "In the Haunted House." Written by John May, Kristin Laskas Martin & Jocelyn Stevenson. Directed by Lawrence Jacobs. Original airdate October 29, 1994.If you liked what you heard please and wish to support the show, please consider subscribing and leaving a nice review on your podcatcher of choice.Follow us on Twitter at https://twitter.com/CartoonNightPod?s=20Chris' Twitter: https://twitter.com/CinemacreepSylvie's Twitter: https://twitter.com/sylvieskeletonsTheme song by https://soundcloud.com/hvsynLogo designed by https://www.rachelsumlin.com

(4-11-2022) In Democracy under Fire, Lawrence Jacobs provides a history of political reforms since the late-eighteenth century that over time weakened democracy, widened political inequality as well as racial disparities, and rewarded toxic political polarization. Much of the attention paid to Trump's rise to power has focused on his corrosive personality and divisive style of governing. Jacobs will examine the ascendance of Trump which is the culmination of nearly 250 years of political reforms that gradually ceded party nominations to small cliques of ideologically motivated party activists, interest groups, and donors, on this installment of Leonard Lopate at Large.

In our first episode of 2021, I chat with the inspiring Rob Lawrence Jacobs. Rob’s passion, love, and experience with horses have become the foundation in which to educate, uplift, and inspire other equestrians. He is doing incredible things to support and help others experience the joys of riding and working with horses.  If you're listening to this on Apple podcasts I would love for you to rate and review the podcast. Enjoy!

Lawrence Jacobs and Desmond King are the authors of Fed Power: How Finance Wins (Oxford UP, 2016). Jacobs is the Walter F. and Joan Mondale Chair for Political Studies and Director of the Center for the Study of Politics and Government in the Hubert H. Humphrey School and the Department of Political Science at the University of Minnesota. King is the Andrew W. Mellon Professor of American Government at the University of Oxford and Professorial Fellow, Nuffield College, Oxford. Lawrence Jacobs and Desmond King’s Fed Power follows the Federal Reserve Banks historic development from the 19th century to its current position as the most important institution in the American economy, possessing considerable autonomy to intervene in private markets. Despite its power and considerable resources, Jacobs and King claim that the Fed was asleep at the wheel when the recent economic crisis hit. The Fed acted swiftly to contain the crisis, but in the process exposed its strong favoritism. The authors dissect how the Fed’s programs during the Great Recession funneled enormous sums to a select few in the finance industry while leaving Main Street businesses adrift and millions of homeowners underwater.

Lawrence Jacobs is the author (with James Druckman) of Who Governs? Presidents, Public Opinion, and Manipulation (University of Chicago Press, 2015). Jacobs is the Walter F. and Joan Mondale Chair for Political Studies at the Humphrey School of Public Affairs and the Department of Political Science at the University of Minnesota. Just how responsive is the president to the public? In theory, we all hope very, but increasingly we worry that presidents have grown more distant from the wishes of the public. In Who Governs?, we get an empirical answer to that question that is at once novel and also deeply disturbing. Jacobs and Druckman explore how presidents, since Kennedy, have used public opinion polling to craft public messages and shape public priorities. Polling has grown significantly since the 1960s, both in its utilization, and also its sophistication, and presidents, especially Ronald Reagan, have given increasing attention to their results. But rather than using polls to closely adhere to the average voter, many presidents have catered to narrow segments of the populace, rending polling another tool used to undermine democratic governance.
