Yes, Ron and Jay from the Film Strip podcast are with me to dig into the low budget 1984 Santa slasher "Don't Open Till Christmas!"It's Christmas in London, and Scotland Yard is after a mysterious slayer of Santas. Somebody's killing people dressed like Santa Claus, and when Kate Brioski's father is murdered she heads to the police. Subsequently, Chief Inspector Harris and Detective Sergeant Powell investigate everyone from Kate's boyfriend to the enigmatic Giles. Meanwhile, Santas are burned roasting chestnuts, stabbed in the London Dungeon, and castrated. As the bodies pile up, it's revealed that Giles is not actually a reporter, but the traumatized brother of Harris. As a child, he witnessed the infidelity of his Father Christmas-clad father and the death of his mother. Now hating Christmas, he sought revenge. Spoilers: he eventually dies.Santa perverts? Check. ridiculous medieval weapon kills? Got 'em. Eyes that seem to smile behind a mask? Only from the killer!

(Por Tiempo Limitado) https://teespring.com/es/stores/biblioteca-del-metal-1 Bathory se formó el 16 de marzo de 1983 cuando tres jóvenes: Tomas Forsberg, Jonas Åkerlund y Freddan Hereafter se reunieron en Musikbörsen (una tienda de música ubicada al oeste de Estocolmo), tras responder a un anuncio que Forsberg había pegado en los tableros de tiendas de música y estudios de grabación de Estocolmo. Tomas Forsberg ponía en el anuncio que quería formar una banda al estilo de Exploited, GBH, Black Sabbath y Motörhead. Los tres jóvenes completarían la primera formación de Bathory, el vocalista y guitarrista Tomas Forsberg cambió su nombre a Quorthon (primero se hacía llamar Black Spade), el batería Jonas Åkerlund pasó a llamarse Vans McBurger y el bajista Freddan Hereafter se llamaba Fredrick Hanoi. Quorthon era el más joven de los tres, tenía 17 años y vivía en Västerort; mientras que McBurguer y Hanoi tenían 18 años y residían en Nockeby, al oeste de Estocolmo. Tras unirse, buscaron un nombre para la recién formada banda. Tras probar varias opciones, (Nosferatu, Natas, Mephisto, Grevinnan Báthory, Elizabeth Báthory y Countess Báthory) finalmente sus integrantes decidieron llamarse simplemente Bathory, en honor a la condesa húngara Erzsébet Báthory, que según algunas leyendas solía bañarse en la sangre de algunas jóvenes aldeanas que eran sacrificadas, con lo que pretendía adquirir la juventud eterna. La decisión final de tomar Bathory como el nombre definitivo para la banda se le ocurrió a Quorthon mientras se encontraba de visita en el museo del terror The London Dungeon donde encontró una figura de la Condesa Báthory tomando uno de sus baños de sangre. Durante el verano de 1983 Vans y Hanoi aprovecharon para irse de vacaciones a Londres, pero Quorthon no quiso desaprovechar la oportunidad de trabajar con Bathory y decidió llamar a unos amigos con los que había tocado en una banda de punk llamada Stridskuk para que le ayudaran, suponiendo que éstos le podrían ayudar con el toque brutal que quería para la banda. En aquel momento comenzaron a grabar temas como «Sacrifice», «Live in Sin», «Die In Fire» y «You Don't Move Me (I Don't Give a Fuck)», en una sala de ensayo alquilada, utilizando el mejor equipo que Quorthon pudo conseguir.Tras sus vacaciones veraniegas, Vans y Hanoi regresaron para continuar su trabajo con Bathory. En esta época la banda decidió contratar a un cuarto miembro y realizaron una audición para añadir un segundo guitarrista o un vocalista. Se presentaron varias personas, pero ninguno de ellos se sintió cómodo con el estilo y las ideas que tenía la banda. Después de la búsqueda fallida de una segunda guitarra, Vans y Hanoi llevaron a los ensayos de la banda a un músico llamado The Animal para que formara parte de la formación. Estuvo apenas medio año como vocalista, pero a Quorthon nunca le gusto su voz y en enero del 84, éste decidió echarlo y volver a encargarse de las voces. A comienzo de 1984 Quorthon comenzó a trabajar en la compañía Tyfon Records con la idea de empezar a conocer un poco más sobre el mundo de la música. Börje Forsberg (conocido como The Boss) había contratado a varias bandas para que hicieran un recopilatorio de bandas suecas, pero una de ellas no pudo participar. Al enterarse de esto, Quorthon le pidió a The Boss la oportunidad de que Bathory reemplazara a la otra banda. The Boss le preguntó a Quorthon si habían grabado alguna demo y el vocalista decidió mostrarle el material de ensayo que habían grabado. Con ocho temas propios escritos durante los diez meses de vida de la banda: «Satan My Master», «Witchcraft», «Live in Sin», «Dirty Woman», «Sacrifice», «The Return of the Darkness and Evil», «You Don't Move Me» y «Die in Fire», la banda se decidió por «Sacrifice» y "The Return of the Darkness and Evil" para la grabación del recopilatorio, llamado Scandinavian Metal Attack. A pesar de que fue la suerte quien les permitió hacer parte de este trabajo, éste se convirtió en el principal culpable de que Bathory surgiera del anonimato, además fue la única de las cinco bandas que participaron, que recibió correo de personas que se declararon sus nuevos seguidores. Poco después de la grabación de los temas para el recopilatorio la banda se separó, debido a que uno de ellos decidió irse a vivir a Londres y porque dejaron de llamarse y de reunirse para ensayar. Tyfon Records publicó el LP en marzo de 1984 con una edición de 3000 copias que se vendieron en un semana, por lo que se realizaron una segunda, una tercera e incluso una cuarta edición. En 1996 la discográfica Black Mark lo remasterizó y relanzó en el CD Scandinavian Metal Classics.Después del relativo éxito de Scandinavian Metal Attack, Quorthon recibió una propuesta de un estudio para comenzar la grabación de un álbum de larga duración. En aquellos momentos la banda ya no existía, pero para Quorthon esto no significó un problema, debido a que pensaba que tenía tiempo suficiente para encontrar músicos que trabajaran junto a él antes de junio, fecha para la cual se había planeado la grabación. Quorthon comenzó a planear la sesión de grabación con material sobrante de la sesión de Scandinavian Metal Attack y temas nuevos. Nuevamente Quorthon decidió llamar a sus ex compañeros de Stridskuk, el bajista Rickard «Ribban» Bergman y el batería Johan «Jolle» Elvén para que lo ayudaran con la grabación de los temas. Esta vez Jolle no pudo ayudarle porque a mediados de junio comenzaría a preparase para ingresar en la Marina. Debido a este inconveniente, Quorthon se puso en contacto con Stefan Larsson, que había tocado en la banda Obsklass. En mayo se reunieron en el centro cultural de Estocolmo, para hacer algunas pruebas de sonido con los dos nuevos integrantes. El lugar tenía algunos recursos para la grabación, que aprovecharon para hacer una rápida grabación de los temas «Witchcraft» inspirado en el tema «Overkill» de Motörhead y «Satan My master», la temática en cuestión fue sacada de un libro de rituales satanistas del siglo XV. Después de esta grabación, concretaron reunirse tres semanas después en Heavenshore, para comenzar a trabajar seriamente. A pesar de que Ribban estaba decidido a ayudar a Quorthon en la grabación, le hizo saber que no quería ser un miembro de Bathory de forma permanente, por lo que el vocalista decidió no incluir nombres o fotos de los integrantes de la banda en sus trabajos, sin embargo, poniendo en su lugar los nombre de tres demonios: Quorthon, Vvonrth y Kothaar. La fecha elegida para la grabación del primer trabajo de Bathory que se convertiría en su carta de presentación fue el sábado 14 de junio, con material escrito para llenar las dos caras de un LP. Aunque algunos de los temas como «Hades» y «Necromancy», aún estaban sin terminar. Sin mucho dinero y ajustando un poco el presupuesto decidieron bajar un poco la calidad de la grabación y haciendo un esfuerzo para grabar la mayor cantidad de material posible, finalizando la grabación de todo el material en 56 horas. Cuando se terminó la mezcla, el material grabado fue ecualizado en los estudios Elektra pocos días después. Todavía faltaban varios detalles; el nombre que se eligió fue Pentagrammaton pero Quorthon se dio cuenta de que muchos lo llamaban simplemente Pentagon, así que un poco presionado por el poco tiempo que le quedaba para terminar el trabajo, decidió dejarlo sin título, pasar el pentagrama a la contraportada y como primer intento para la portada, eligió el color negro de fondo y sobre él pegó una combinación de ojos, nariz y boca cortados de varios cómics con la idea de crear la figura de una cabra. Una buena cantidad de tinta se encargó de enmascararlo y darle pequeños detalles como el cuerpo, el pelo, alargarle las orejas y los cuernos. Quorthon decidió utilizar este macho cabrío en la portada y convertirlo en el símbolo de Bathory. En la contraportada, para imprimir los título de las canciones utilizó el mismo tipo de letra inglesa que había comprado para el nombre de la banda. Tras crear la carátula, una noche después de ser enviada a imprimir, descubrió que había cometido un error ortográfico en el tema «Necromancy», debido a que nadie le había dicho que se pronunciaba con una s, pero se escribía con una c. El álbum de ocho canciones (sin contar con el intro y el outro), fue publicado como LP el 2 de octubre de 1984. De este primer trabajo existen varias versiones, que se distinguen por las diferentes portadas con las que se imprimieron: Quorthon había leído que el color dorado es un color mágico. El plateado era el color del bien y la luz (por lo del mito de las balas de plata), pero que el color dorado podía ser usado tanto por la luz como por la oscuridad en los rituales. Fue por ello que intentó hacerlo en color negro y dorado pero esto haría que se incrementara el precio de las impresiones, así que decidió pedirle a la empresa responsable, que lo hiciera con un color que fuera menos costoso y que se acercara tanto como fuera posible al dorado. Una semana y media después, Quorthon decidió ir a ver como estaban quedando las carátulas y se dio cuenta de que las estaban imprimiendo con el macho cabrío en color amarillo, e inmediatamente paró su producción pues le pareció un resultado horrible. Sólo 1000 copias con esta portada fueron producidos, que ahora es popularmente conocido como The Yellow Goat («La Cabra Amarilla»), su precio actualmente es de 100 dólares si se encuentra en buen estado y si está autografiado puede llegar a costar entre 400 y 500 dólares. Finalmente decidió imprimirlo en blanco y negro, para poder tener un costo razonable y que así siguiera conservando su imagen oscura. Cuando Bathory firmo con Black Mark fue remasterizado en CD variando la carátula un poco, al hacer el macho cabrío más grande y con ojos rojos En el año 1997 con esta misma carátula fue publicada una versión PD (picture disc) de este trabajo impreso en vinilo, con un límite de producción de 666 copias. El coste de la producción del álbum debut de la banda fue aproximadamente de 500 dólares y 60 horas de grabación, incluyendo prueba de sonido y mezcla. Nadie se podría imaginar que lo que empezó siendo un desfogue experimental, terminó como semilla de un trabajo y género a seguir para toda una generación. Hoy en día sigue siendo el trabajo más vendido de Bathory y sigue posicionado en el punto más alto de todos los trabajos de Black Mark. En esta época y debido a que Venom contaba con una gran popularidad por esos momentos, Bathory se ganó la reputación de ser simplemente unos imitadores, ya que los ingleses habían editado el año anterior su álbum Black Metal que incluía temas como «Raise the Dead», «Hades», el ya mencionado «Sacrifice» o «Countess Bathory» y que casualmente hasta las portadas de ambos trabajos fueran parecidas. Esta comparación se dio más por la imagen y por simples conexión en los nombres, pero realmente si Bathory quiso imitar a alguien fue a Black Sabbath por sus letras y a Mothörhead por su intensa música y en ningún momento a Venom, sin embargo demostró lo contrario a través de los años y reunió una buena masa de fieles seguidores, gracias sobre todo a esa imagen tan influenciada por la mística y la mitología nórdica. El 10 de noviembre, cerca del momento en que el LP debut comenzó a llegar otros países de Europa, Quorthon regresa nuevamente a Heavenshore junto a Ribban y Stefan. La tarea era tratar de trabajar en terminar todo lo que no se había podido completar en la sesión del LP debut y tomar provecho de que Heavenshore estaría vacía durante una semana o más. El objetivo principal para reunirse nuevamente en esta fecha era para grabar cuatro temas, tratando de representar una versión de un grabado medieval, y rápidamente lanzarlo en navidad como un EP 45", un formato muy popular en los 80's. El trabajo tenía como nombre Necronomicon o Maleficarum (Quorthon no recuerda bien cual de los dos). Los temas claramente mostraban la evidencia de la creciente importancia por los temas oscuros en las letras de la banda. El material grabado durante esta sesión fue «Children of the Beast», «Crown of Thorns one the Golden Throne», «Crucifix» y «Necronomicon». Sin embargo decidieron posponerlo, debido a que los temas, no tenían nada que ver con los del LP debut, otra de las razones por las que fue cancelado, fue que la fecha límite para producirlo era el 20 de noviembre si querían que saliera para la época decembrina. Simplemente no había tiempo para producir el EP, luego enviarlo a los distribuidores en Suecia, para que finalmente pudiera estar en las tiendas antes de diciembre. Por tales motivos el EP Necronomicon/Maleficarum terminó archivado (lastimosamente Quorthon aún no sabe dónde). Ningún material de esta sesión fue regrabado para el segundo trabajo. Según cuentan, el material para este EP, no tenía ningún tipo de relación con el material del LP debut y claramente marcaba una evolución que eventualmente llevaba a la banda hacia The Return of the Darkness and Evil.El segundo trabajo The Return que se complementa con otra línea en la contraportada of Darkness and Evil, fue más tarde editado en 1985, para su grabación firmaron por primera y última vez con los Estudios Electra. El bajo fue grabado usando un pedazo de tubería de aluminio para obtener un sonido diferente, mientras que la batería y las guitarras fueron grabadas en un gran recinto para que sonaran con mayor poderío. En la grabación del punteo del tema «The Return of the Darkness and Evil» debido a que no estaba saliendo muy bien Quorthon se disgusto y rompió una guitarra, todo esto quedo registrado y al final del punteo se puede escuchar. Como en su primera obra, en la contraportada no aparecía nadie mas en los créditos que su cantante y guitarrista Quorthon, de lo que podemos deducir: que se alquilaron músicos de sesión para terminar la obra, que el mismo toco todos los instrumentos, o quería mantener en secreto los integrantes; solo se conoce algo sobre un bajista que fue despedido de la banda a mitad de las grabaciones porque era un drogadicto empedernido. En la contraportada del LP en vez de traer la lista normal de temas, trae una especie de poema en el cual Quorthon utiliza los nombres de cada uno de ellos en alguna de su parte. El tema «Born for Burning» fue dedicado a la bruja Marrigje Ariens que nació en 1521 y fue quemada en 1591 en Schoonhoven Holanda, y el tema "Bestial Lust" fue dedicado a una mujer con la que Quorthon tuvo sexo en el piso del baño de mujeres del Rock Club. El primer título que inscribieron para su tercer trabajo fue Nocturnal Obeisance (como lo es actualmente su intro), pero finalmente decidieron llamarlo Under The Sign Of The Black Mark (Bajo el Signo de la Marca Negra), el cual fue editado en 1987. Parte de este trabajo había sido planeado grabarlo en una iglesia acompañado de un coro de niñas e instrumentos medievales; al igual que en los dos trabajos anteriores, este estaba caracterizado por un sonido constantemente caótico y unas letras profundamente enraizadas con el satanismo, podríamos decir que es el responsable del moderno black metal Nórdico, este trabajo al igual que los demás fue producido por Quorthon, que editaba sus trabajos en La Península Escandinava bajo su propio sello discográfico Tyfon Gramoffon. Durante esta época Quorthon solo escuchaba música clásica, lo cual hacia que se interesara mas en adaptar música y escribir largas canciones, un buen ejemplo de esto es «Enter the Eternal Fire». La carátula de este trabajo es una foto y no una pintura como muchos creen, fue tomada en la Opera de Estocolmo con las cortinas abajo, mientras las personas esperaban para el segundo acto de «Carmen», el hombre que aparece con la mascara es Leif Ehrnborg, un campeón de levantamiento de pesas del equipo Sueco, quien en la foto original, en la parte de abajo de la montaña fue acompañado por fuego, humo y algunas mujeres desnudas, pero sólo fue utilizada la mitad que todos conocemos y la parte de abajo fue desechada (sólo en la versión en LP se puede constatar esto, si se despegan las solapas de la portada, donde se pueden ver claramente las cabezas de algunas de estas mujeres). Se corre el gran rumor de que existe un CD-Doble, el cual solo se publicó para Suecia. Para esa misma época Quorthon empezó a planear un espectacular vídeo mostrando a la banda tocando en vivo pero desafortunadamente nunca se realizó, consistía en alquilar un campo militar y levantar en el un gran escenario al aire libre, tan grande que se demorara varios minutos recorrerlo de un lado a otro y que estuviera acompañado por un juego de batería de 18 tones de piso que serían envueltos en fuego, juegos pirotécnicos y humo.En 1988 fue editado el Blood Fire Death (Sangre Fuego Muerte), época en que ingresaron a la banda Vvornth como baterista y Kotthar como bajista para acompañar a Quorthon, así por primera vez se pudo conocer una alineación estable, donde aparecían estos tres dioses en la contraportada. Los temas eran complicados, lo que le iba mucho mejor a Bathory, en contraposición con sus primeros temas más rápidos, su música se acercaba cada vez más al death y viking metal; sus letras también habían cambiado, ahora hablaban mas sobre mitos y leyendas, guerras, batallas, y la era vikinga, donde Quorthon exprimía su fuente inspiradora de la mitología nórdica. La música incluso sonaba más suntuosa que en sus primeros trabajos, había un uso frecuente de coros y teclados que le añadían una nueva dimensión de sonido. Por primera vez también se publicó una foto de la banda, lo malo es que a Quorthon no le gusto mucho la idea y decidió no volver a hacerlo en trabajos futuros. El quinto trabajo, Hammerheart, aparece en 1990, donde hallamos a Quorthon en la misma dirección de su anterior trabajo; se vieron aún más los cambios musicales, con una gran influencia por los teclados, punteos de la guitarra y letras que hablan sobre la vida de los vikingos; tanto la imagen como el sonido parecían cada vez más cercanos al Viking Metal de Manowar, la velocidad se había perdido y todos los temas eran largos y muy ligeros, excepto por la balada «Song to Hall Up High» que no es larga pero sí muy ligera. El final del tema «Shores in Flames» está acompañado de una replica del sonido producido por los cuernos de bronce que eran utilizados en la Era Vikinga y no con un simple cuerno de Alce como lo afirma la revista Metal Hammer, fueron grabados en los Estudios Heaveshore por un empleado del Museo Nacional de Antigüedades de Estocolmo. En esta ocasión firmaron con la Noise, pero según Quorthon resultó ser una gran equivocación, en todo caso cuando se pasaron para la Black Mark fue remasterizado y publicado en CD, donde se incluyó en el interior del libro una foto completa de la carátula, una imagen titulada «Nightfall by the Shore» con un escrito en latín y también se puede ver un pequeño cambio en el logo y colores más vivos en la portada. En esta misma época y a petición de sus seguidores, Bathory decide hacer su primer y único vídeo del tema «One Rode to Asa Bay», pero las cosas no salieron muy bien. En el año de 1991 la banda hace el lanzamiento de su sexto trabajo Twilight of the Gods, sin dejar a un lado la evolución musical con la que han venido últimamente y como su título lo deja entrever le siguen cantando a los Dioses Nórdicos; su vocal es normal y su música se ve grandemente influenciada por el sonido de los teclados y punteos de la guitarra, su estilo sigue siendo el viking metal (lento, depresivo y ligero) pero esta vez con un poco de influencias clásicas, obviamente por el interés de Quorthon en ese estilo de música. Uno de sus temas, mas explícitamente "Hammerheart" hace parte de un concierto de música clásica por Gustav Holst, en el que Quorthon escribió la letra. También se encuentra disponible en el mercado un sencillo con los temas «Twilight of the Gods» (versión editada), «Under the Runes» y «Hammerheart». En la contraportada aparece la imagen de un monumento que hizo Quorthon y representa a Yggdrasil (el árbol del mundo en la vieja mitología nórdica), mide alrededor de 10 metros de alto y 5 de ancho, y como en su trabajo anterior podemos encontrar un escrito que la acompaña. Uno de los acontecimientos más trascendentales en este trabajo fue cuando Quorthon dio la noticia de que esta sería la última creación de la banda, por tal motivo no fue incluido el «Outro» que finalizó sus primeros cinco trabajos y que tiene como significado Bathory esta arrastrándose bajo las rocas pero regresará. Afortunadamente todo esto no fue cierto. Para 1992 y 1993 lanzan dos trabajos recopilatorios de temas anteriores entre 1983 y 1991, exceptuando siete nuevos o al menos no escuchados anteriormente. En el Jubileum Volume I "Ride at the Gate of Dawn" que es un intro, "Crawl to your Cross", "Sacrifice" tomado del LP Scandinavian Metal Attack y «You Don't Move Me (I Don't Give a Fuck)» tomado del demo de 1983, y en el Jubileum Volume II «Burning Leather», «The Return of the Darkness and Evil» tomado del LP Scandinavian Metal Attack y «Die in Fire» tomado del demo de 1983. Aunque no eran temas nuevos, Bathory demostró que todavía tenía mucho camino por recorrer y que su final no sería pronto, como lo había anunciado Quorthon en el trabajo anterior. Una de las pausas más grandes que sufrió Bathory fue cuando Quorthon decidió lanzarse en solitario como Quorthon con álbum, pero la necesidad de regresar a escribir y tocar Metal nuevamente, impulsó el nuevo ataque de la banda, confirmando su verdadero regreso. En 1994 lanzaron Requiem, tres años después de su última producción, donde regresaron con el estilo caótico, brutal y rápido característico de sus primeros trabajos, con un mejoramiento musical más notable pero totalmente diferente al de los dos trabajos anteriores, su música fue escrita en dos semanas y sus letras hablaban sobre materias ocultas y terrenales, las cuales fueron censuradas y por tal motivo fue producido y publicado sin ellas. Igual que en sus primeros días, volvemos a encontrarnos con la sorpresa de ver a Quorthon como único integrante de la banda, pero nunca había sucedido un cambio tan notable con el logo, ahora era menos tradicionalista y más desafiante. Durante el periodo de grabación el tema «Apocalypse» fue llamado «Calypso» como un chiste. En una versión de este trabajo de 1989, se supone que hay tres temas mas llamados «Descend to Hell», «Cry», «Marching Off to War» y «Nine Lakes of Fire». Octagon (Octógono) su trabajo número ocho, fue lanzado en el año de 1995, fue escrito y grabado en medio año, luego de lanzar Requiem y en los créditos solo aparece registrado Quorthon, sin contar los Jubileum´s es el único que no fue publicado en pasta o vinilo; la tendencia al Thrash se hace más presente siguiendo el estilo de Slayer y el de su trabajo anterior, aunque con un ligero toque industrial (algo que no gustó mucho), la vocal es normal pero sin embargo brutal y las letras tocan el tema social (guerra, violencia, intolerancia y religión). Cuando iba a ser producido, dos temas fueron censurados a causa de sus letras, por este motivo se incluye por primera vez un cover, "Deuce" de Kiss que finaliza el trabajo, muchas personas opinan que eso fue un gran error y que ayudo a que el trabajo se ganara el repudio de varios de sus seguidores. En 1996 lanzaron Blood On Ice (Sangre Sobre Hielo) un trabajo temático que resultó ser todo un reto, se caracterizo por ser una especie de recopilación de temas inéditos de años anteriores (algunos de siete años atrás), donde Quorthon nos deleita con nuevas leyendas e historias. Su estilo es lento con una combinación heavy/viking metal, algo así como una fusión entre el Hammerheart y Twilight of the Gods. Las letras fueron escritas en formato de Saga y hablan sobre un joven que sobrevive a un feroz ataque en su villa y todo lo que hace en búsqueda de la venganza, fueron inspiradas por Conan y Richard Wagner´s "Götterdämmerung". Incluye la Historia de Bathory escrita por Quorthon hasta el lanzamiento de este trabajo, el cual fue grabado durante tres sesiones entre 1988 y 1989, pero no fue terminado debido a que Quorthon sintió que no era el momento preciso para publicar un trabajo de esta clase; cuando acabó el proceso de producción y lanzamiento del Octagon, varios de sus seguidores le escribieron preguntando cuando sería publicado y lo tendrían en sus manos, así que gracias a la motivación que le dieron se tomó el tiempo de terminarlo. Antes de su lanzamiento fue publicada una versión promocional en Mini-CD donde encontramos un logo muy formal y completamente diferente a todos los anteriores, sin embargo para la versión final decidieron usar el mismo que en el Requiem y el Octagon, encontrando que en el CD fue impreso en la contraportada, mientras que para el LP en la portada. La docena de trabajos se completan con Jubileum III en 1998, no hay mucho que decir de él, como los anteriores Jubileum's se trata de un trabajo recopilatorio que contiene los mejores temas de hasta cinco años atrás y seis temas inéditos: "Resolution Greed" y "Genocide" tomados de la sesión del Octagon (supuestamente estos son los dos temas que fueron censurados), "Satan My Master" y "Witchcraft" tomados del demo de 1983, el quinto es "In Nomine Satanás" la versión original del tema "Bond of Blood" del trabajo Twilight of the Gods que fue terminado más tarde en una nueva versión donde decidieron cambiarle el contenido de las letras, el sexto realmente no es un tema inédito, se trata de una versión especial de los coros del tema "Valhalla" del trabajo Hammerheart. Rompiendo el esquema de llamar a todos sus trabajos recopilatorios Jubileum, a finales de agosto del año 2001 lanzaron Katalog (Catálogo), sin embargo actualmente es tomado más como un catálogo (como su nombre lo indica) o CD promocional que como un trabajo, la diferencia con las demás recopilaciones, es que contiene sólo un tema de cada trabajo oficial, comenzando con un tema del Destroyer Of Worlds que aún no había sido lanzado, seguido por temas desde su primera creación Bathory hasta el Blood On Ice (lógicamente sin contar los Jubileum) y anteriormente incluían desde temas inéditos hasta varios temas de un solo trabajo. La Black Mark pretende con su lanzamiento dar una idea a los nuevos seguidores de lo que es y fue Bathory, algo bastante sorprendente es que haya sido producido antes que el trabajo en estudio, el cual había sido mencionado desde hace varios meses atrás, sin embargo sirvió como preludio de lanzamiento del tan esperado... Destroyer Of Worlds (Destructor de Mundos), en más de 6 años Bathory no entraba en estudio a grabar un nuevo trabajo, sin contar con el Blood on Ice como nuevo, ya que fue una recopilación de temas anteriores. El primer nombre que habían pensado fue Nemesis pero en el transcurso de su larga y dura grabación decidieron cambiarlo, fue dedicado a todos los seguidores de Bathory, finalizando con la frase You are the Best! (¡Ustedes son los mejores!). Contiene diferentes estilos musicales, debido a que Quorthon decidió complacer en un sólo trabajo a todos sus seguidores, que se habían dividido en dos (a los que les gustaba la era black/death metal y a los que les gusta la era Vikinga), así que pensó que no seria justo hacerlo sólo con el estilo de sus primeros trabajos como inicialmente lo había pensado, sus letras hablan sobre materias como la sociedad, muerte, motos y hasta hockey sobre hielo. Como siempre, es un trabajo totalmente diferente a cualquier otro que Bathory haya grabado anteriormente. Creó una gran expectativa ya que se especuló mucho sobre su fecha de salida al mercado (finalmente 8 de octubre, para el resto de Europa el 23 de octubre), casi más de 1 año por parte de la Black Mark y Quorthon. Nordland I (Tierra del Norte I), en el 2002 lanza su trabajo número once en estudio, el cual fue para casi todos una sorpresa, debido a que solo se conocieron algunas noticias semanas antes de su lanzamiento. Da comienzo a la saga Nordland (Tierra del Norte), un trabajo temático donde Quorthon nos deleita hablando sobre la Tierra Nórdica. Su estilo es semejante los trabajos Hammerheart, Twilight of the Gods y su anterior saga Blood On Ice. Nordland II (Tierra del Norte II), completa la docena de trabajos de Bathory en estudio y fue lanzado al mercado en marzo de 2003, mes en el que la banda celebro sus 20 años de vida remasterizando digitalmente y lanzando al mercado sus seis primeros trabajos. Nordland II es la continuación de la saga escandinava y todo parece indicar que es su punto final, aunque Quorthon no descarta la posibilidad de que la historia continúe en un futuro (no muy cercano), no se muestra muy animado en hacerlo argumentando que toda historia tiene su final y esta ya lo tuvo. Hay partes de algunos temas en ambos Nordland en los que se incluyen aproximadamente tres guitarras rítmicas, hasta ocho guitarras líderes haciendo melodías y armonías, incontables pistas de coros y en algunas ocasiones flautas, cuernos, acordeones y órganos. Sin mencionar la presencia de truenos, viento, olas, caballos y el sonido de la batalla detallando la historia y enriqueciendo la experiencia. No sólo hubo derroche histórico, artístico y musical sino también de mercadeo, además de ser lanzado en CD, también salió al mercado en LP y por primera vez para Bathory en DP (DigiPack) versión limitada. Como si no fuera poco, días después del lanzamiento del Nordland II salió al mercado una LP-Doble en versión limitada llamado Nordland I & II, que contiene la saga Escandinava completa y para la que no midieron en gastos a la hora de su realización, hasta la presentación y letras del interior vienen completamente en color y cada LP fue producido en Ice Clear Disk (Vinilo Transparente) para darle un toque más nórdico.El 7 de junio de 2004 el mundo del metal se lamenta por la muerte de Quorthon, el cual fue encontrado sin vida en su apartamento a causa de un paro cardiaco.6? Para esta época Quorthon estaba grabando un nuevo trabajo titulado Dra Ballen i Gruset Grabbar y se estaban publicando la historia de Bathory en su página web oficial, que llevaba poco tiempo activa.7? Ambas tareas se encuentran incompletas por el momento y todavía no hay ningún comunicado por parte de Black Mark sobre el tema. Se han recopilado varios álbumes tributo a Bathory realizados por diversos artistas del género black metal (algunos de ellos lanzados incluso antes de la muerte de Quorthon), entre ellos Conspiracy with Satan: A Tribute to Bathory (1998) y Voices from Valhalla - A Tribute to Bathory(2012).

Ein besonders gefährlicher Serienmörder war in den 70ern im Norden von England unterwegs. Es dauert mehrere Jahre bis die Polizei den Tätern ermittelte, was maßgeblich am Vorgehen der Polizei lag, denn viele der Opfer waren Sexarbeiterinnen - doch nicht alle. Damals wurde Frauen geraten nicht mehr nachts ohne männliche Begleitung unterwegs zu sein, was 1977 zu den ersten "Reclaim the Night"-Protesten in Leeds führte. Die protestierenden Frauen fanden, dass ein gewalttätiger Mann nicht ihr Leben einschränken sollte, sondern, dass sich die Gesellschaft so verändern sollte, dass Frauen auf den Straßen sicher sind. Mehr als 40 Jahre später hat sich leider nicht viel verändert: Am 3. März 2021 wurde die 33-jährige Sarah Everard in Südlondon auf dem Weg nach Hause ermordet. Und wieder gehen die Frauen für Veränderung auf die Straße. In dieser Folge sprechen wir mit Rhiannon Griffith von "Reclaim the Night Leeds" darüber, was sich in der Gesellschaft, der Politik und bei der Polizei ändern muss, damit Frauen sicher auf den Straßen der Welt unterwegs sein können. Außerdem sprechen wir mit Richard Quincey vom London Dungeon darüber, wie die Legende von Jack the Ripper die Briten heute noch beschäftigt. Viel Spaß bei unserer ersten True Crime Folge mit wichtiger Message.

These chats are fun, informative and hopefully always interesting. In today's episode, I speak with Yael Coifman, Co-Founder and Senior Partner of Leisure Development Partners. We discuss the impact of COVID on the leisure and attractions sector, the fusion of leisure and retail space that will be accelerated by the pandemic, and we also talk a little bit about learning Spanish. If you like what you hear you can subscribe on iTunes, Spotify and all the usual channels by searching Skip the Queue. Kelly Molson: Yael, thank you so much for coming on the podcast today, I'm absolutely delighted that you could spare some time to come on, so thank you. Yael Coifman: Thanks for having me Kelly, I'm looking forward to it. Kelly Molson: Me too. Maybe you won't be looking forward to this bit, because this is the bit that everyone doesn't like, but it's the icebreaker question round. I think I've been quite easy on you Yael, to be honest.Kelly Molson: Okay, let's start. If you were stranded on a desert island what is the one luxury item that you would miss the most? Yael Coifman: Oh, it's got to be the fizz, champagne.Kelly Molson: Yes. I knew that we would get on, you are a lady after my own heart. Yael Coifman: I mean, I grant you I miss the really good cheese and bread and stuff, but you can always on a desert island find some way to make cheese, or make bread, but you can't make your own fizz. So that would be it.Kelly Molson: Great answer, we're going to get on well. Okay, I have to ask you this, what is your favorite attraction?Yael Coifman: Well, my favorite park of all time is Islands of Adventure in Orlando. Hands down, that is just the best park in my opinion. I think on the hand in regards to favorite ride, I really enjoy the SheiKra rollercoaster at Busch Gardens. Kelly Molson: Oh God, that is good. Yael Coifman: It's good because it's kind of a blend of ... what's it called? Oblivion at Alton Towers, but Oblivion ends too soon, and SheiKra keeps going. So I just really enjoy that one as a rollercoaster.Kelly Molson: Busch Gardens is one of the best places that I've ever visited.Yael Coifman: It is a great park, yeah. Kelly Molson: Just love it, I haven't been for a really long time, I went with my parents a very, very long time ago. Oh, it's a great place. Good, I wasn't expecting that as well. Kelly Molson: Okay, back to the stupid ones. If you could only eat one sandwich for the rest of the time, what sandwich would it be?Yael Coifman: Oh, all-day breakfast. Kelly Molson: That's a good choice. That's a good choice, yes, because of so many different fillings.Yael Coifman: Yeah, and you can have it for breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Kelly Molson: I thought about this way too hard before I asked you, and I thought I would go with ham and crisp sandwich because then I'd have ham and I'd also get crisps as well. You definitely out trumped me on the sandwich choice there. Kelly Molson: All right, the last one is I want to know your unpopular opinion. So something that you believe to be true that almost nobody else agrees with you on.Yael Coifman: Okay, well I'm qualifying this with saying that there's nobody else in the UK agrees with me on. Kelly Molson: Okay.Yael Coifman: As an American living in the UK, and all that kind of stuff, I personally do not agree that university education should be paid for, for all university students. I don't think it should be covered by the government. I think you can have assistance, you can have government loans, but realistically, not everybody necessarily deserves to go to university, or should be going to university, and if they're not willing to invest in themselves why should we as the taxpayers invest in them. That's my perspective.  Kelly Molson: I mean this could be quite controversial but I'm glad that you raised it. It's interesting actually because we did have our last guest on, Simon Jones, from Digital Visitor, we also talked a lot about university and his take on university was that not everybody needs to go. So it wasn't about the payment of it, it was not everybody needs to go to university, you can still have a brilliant career if you choose not to take that path, as well, so.Yael Coifman: But I do think there's an element of it which is asking people to invest in themselves. And clearly, as one who came from the US I'm not saying that those tuition fees make any sense whatsoever, they're way, way too high in terms of the American universities, so that's not the right system either. But there is an element of investing in yourself. So if it's 100% paid for by the government then the students aren't taking a stake in their own future. I mean when I was at university I was still working 40 hours a week while going to classes. You don't really see that here.Kelly Molson: No, it's true. I mean, I can't comment on university, I didn't actually go, so I choose the route that Simon talked about and I decided that I wanted to go out and work and work my way up. Which was easier than in the career that I choose, but yeah, I worked the whole way through college. I was going to say I had terrible jobs through college, but I had a few terrible jobs through college. But actually, my favorite one was in retail, which is something that we're going to talk a little bit about today. I worked at Argos. Yael Coifman: Oh, well there you go.Kelly Molson: I worked in Argos as a Saturday girl, I was a picker, and then I was on the tills, and then customer service. And then I got promoted to jewelry. Yael Coifman: Ooh, a big step up. Kelly Molson: It was the pinnacle, it was the pinnacle of my Argos career. Thank you for sharing that with me, I appreciate it. Kelly Molson: So what I'd love to do, there's a topic that I want to focus on for our talk today. I'd love it if you could share a little bit about what Leisure Development Partners does, and maybe what a typical project looks like for you. If you have a typical project that is.Yael Coifman: Well, I was going to say, the purpose of this conversation, with this little bit here, there is no such thing as a typical project. Our specialty is really in the market and financial analysis for any forms of leisure attractions. So that can range from small specialty museums to major theme parks, multi-theme park regional destination resorts, arenas and stadium, and aquaria, anything that's built which has to do with how people spend their leisure time. And we do work globally. Yael Coifman: So, the majority of our work is for new projects and new ideas, I'd say probably about 70% of it. Normally a client will come to us with an idea and they want to know if it will work financially. So we do the market testing for it, and concept testing, and all that kind of stuff, to get to at the end of the day how many people are going to visit, what are they going to spend, what are the related operating costs, what's the final profit and loss at the end of the day over a 10 year period of time? And then given the level of investment, is there any return on investment or is this just a bad project for the market? So that's kind of the bread and butter of what we do. We also every once in a while we'll work with existing attractions to improve their performance, as well as with banks, or private equity funds, that are looking to do acquisitions, existing facilities. Kelly Molson: Would you also work with attractions that are looking to maybe expand into different locations as well? Would that be-Yael Coifman: Absolutely, yeah. Along those lines, there are two things we do actually, with existing attractions if they're looking expand, period, as in not just a new ride, but an entirely new land in a theme park, for example, or adding a hotel, or adding a water park as a second gate, or something like that, we would definitely work with them along those lines to see how it would work, and what the impact would be and if it was worth the investment. Then also with existing attractions, if they're looking roll out, we could do a roll-out strategy for them, or in some cases if they have potential partners like we've done a lot of work with KidZania for example. So a lot of times with KidZania first looking at new locations, we will actually do the feasibility study for that location to see if they want to progress, or not, to the next level. Kelly Molson: Amazing. That takes to make me to what I really want to focus our conversation on today, and it's actually around the white paper that you pushed out a little while ago. So you released a white paper which is called COVID and Beyond, the Evolving Relationship with Leisure and Retail. In it, you discuss the impact of COVID, what that impact has been on the leisure and attractions sector, and how this could impact the retail and leisure relationship which I think is really exciting. Kelly Molson: I guess it kind of starts with the decline across physical retail sectors due to the rise in e-commerce, I guess that's the starting point of this conversation. What was it that prompted the white paper and can you tell us a little bit about what's in it and where those thoughts have come from?Yael Coifman: Yeah, sure. The white paper was basically just taking a state of the industry of where we are now post-COVID and what it means for attractions and retail, and how they can work together. We've been doing work with, not retailers, but retail mall owners and developers, a lot, over the last five or six years, as they're starting to realize that they do need to do something more, that just the anchor stores and stuff like that is not enough to get people in. So they were already seeing the writing on the wall in terms of the increase in online retail, and more spending online and less in bricks and mortar establishments. But the challenge all along has been the fact that they still very much have that bricks and mortar mindset, and the attraction has to come in and pay rent. It's just filling space. They're looking at attractions or leisure as tenants. Yael Coifman: So one of the reasons that we decided to write a white paper was saying okay, let's look at where we are now, and let's look at what people want to do. Taking aside the online thing, which was happening anyway, because of COVID there are three keys things that actually really came out of it. One is, you have a lot more people that weren't used to shopping online, that became used to shopping online. So it was an exponential growth. Not just a growth we've seen over the last five or six years, but a lot of people that were not really used to it, the older generation that might never have used Amazon before, that might never have ordered click and collect from Sainsbury's, or wherever the case may be, we're finally starting to do and we're realizing how easy it was. Not just to order online but also to return, which has always been a thing that was worried about. Yael Coifman: So that was one thing that came out of COVID. The other thing was the incredibly high uptake of streaming as entertainment in-home. The fact that I don't know if you noticed this or not in the white paper, but I was shocked. Disney+ launched and it reached its five-year target for subscriptions within six months. Kelly Molson: I mean it's mad right, but when they launched who knew that we were going to be in the situation that we're in. So that clearly had a huge impact on it.Yael Coifman: It was primarily COVID, and Netflix as well. Just the amount to subscribers I think just again, exponential. Again, the thing here, it's not just more people doing it, it's people that had never considered doing it before. So older generation, parents who would have just maybe let their kids do it all the time now, are now saying, "Oh actually, there's interesting stuff for me too." Remember what helped that was the fact that a lot of these online platforms were developing their own content as well. So we're seeing a little bit more of that.Yael Coifman: So there's the increase in online and in-home online entertainment, not just movies and films, but gaming as well, etc. Then the third thing was the fact that people were locked up and they couldn't do anything. Yes, there is hesitation about going out to attractions and crowded facilities, and people are nervous, but when we saw how quickly, at least here in Europe, how quickly when things opened up, people were going back out to attractions and theme parks. We spoke with quite a few different operators throughout Europe that said actually, the moment they opened up it wasn't that bad. They were at lower capacity but they were doing pre-bookings throughout the entire week. People were adjusting, they were readjusting their schedules so that they could go during the times when they in the old days would have said, "Oh, just on the weekend." So that hunger just to go out and do things socially, especially outdoor experiences, and other areas that you can socially distance a bit more was very, very apparent in regards to August and September when everything basically opened up. Yael Coifman: So those three coming together when you look at that from the retail perspective, retailers need attractions now. They have lost their core constituency. The importance of getting forms of leisure attractions into retail settings, or any sort of commercial mixed-use developments, is much, much higher than it was six months ago, or a year ago. Personally, I always thought it was important, but now they are recognizing it, so it's kind of changing to this shift in perspective from the retail developer side. That's a lot of what our white paper lays out, is what are the benefits of bringing in attractions but also what are the keys things that have to be considered, and why would you do that? Why would you as a landowner, as a developer, say "Okay, I'm not going to get a Debenhams into an anchor store anymore, because they're closing them all down, but I need to fill that space but it's not going to be a commercial tenant. So at which point do I make that investment?" That's the heart and soul of the paper basically. Kelly Molson: Let's take Westfield Stratford as an example of a shopping center, a shopping mall. You've got a real mix of leisure facilities there, so I think there's a bowling alley, there's a cinema, there's a gaming center, there's a casino. What other types of attractions are going to be a really natural fit for this, and what are the benefits for attractions going into these spaces? Yael Coifman: So I think what's interesting what you just brought up there, and this is where there's a lot of times there's a disconnect. So bowling, cinema-Kelly Molson: They're very standard, aren't they? They're the ones that you expect to see.Yael Coifman: They're standard and those are what we would term commercial leisure. They can pay rent, basically. It might be slightly more of an anchor rent, but they're commercial leisure, commercial ventures that are pretty standard. They also don't have much drawing power, cinemas typical user catchment is 20 minutes drive tops, bowling even less so, depending on the location where you are. I think Westfield Stratford is a good example because it is in a unique situation where it's the east side of London, but it also has some pretty strong competitors nearby, Lakeside, for example. Lakeside has put in a Nickelodeon Park. That I would consider an attraction, but that's the difference.  Yael Coifman: Attractions, these smaller attractions, we see some of them in South Bank, for example, Shrek, or the London Dungeon, etc. Those are actually more attractions, and that means that they have higher drawing power. They can sometimes appeal to tourists, not just the resident market, but they also typically have higher operating costs because you need more staff. They might have higher capital investment requirements in the first days as well. So it's not just a simple fit-out, like a cinema, where you just get a bunch of screen sound systems and a bunch of chairs. That's where the really big difference is. Yael Coifman: So if you look at, now again looking at Stratford, so what could you put in there? Well, you'd want to do things there that would actually extend the catchment, the drawing power, of the facility itself. We've seen that in places like Dubai, where they put in the Dubai Aquarium into Mall of Dubai or the ski hill in Mall of the Emirates. They were really in recent years the forefront of putting in major attraction draws. You'd see that in the US now with the American Dream Project going on in New Jersey, where they have a water park, and a theme park, and a ski thing that are going in there. They're really making clusters of these attractions that can draw from two hours away. That's different.Kelly Molson: That's a big difference, isn't it?Yael Coifman: That's a big difference. So that's where these mall developers have to start balancing out the benefits versus the cost because they are going to have to invest, they have to put some skin in the game. Most of these attractions are not justifiable as standalone investments, so they have to invest into the attraction themselves, partner with the attraction operator, so that there actually is a benefit to the mall overall. That's where the struggle has been over years is convincing them of that, and I really do see a shift in this these days, where they're starting to realize, they have to partner, they have to put some investment into it too, they're not going to have somebody just come in and solve their problem for them and pay them a commercial rent.Kelly Molson: Yeah, I can see there's a huge difference between this is a cinema, this is a standard fit-out, and they come in and they plug their thing into that hole. But yeah, like you mention, the Shrek experience, completely different. It's hugely, hugely different. Yael Coifman: Sorry, can I just add one thing to that? Kelly Molson: Yeah, please.Yael Coifman: Because you brought up Shrek again, and I forget to mention. This is also where IP becomes very valuable, Intellectual Property. So you have Shrek as intellectual property, or you have Nickelodeon Lakeside as an IP as well. That has a brand recognition that can also increase the drawing power, and also can remain relevant as long as new content is put on online. So that's a way to connect the attraction with the in-home entertainment as well, so that's where the strength of IP comes in. Kelly Molson: Yeah, absolutely. So you've got kids that are sitting at home watching Nickelodeon, they make that connection. They have that, mum, dad, I want to go here. Yael Coifman: Mm-hmm (affirmative).Kelly Molson: Okay, yeah, of course. So how do you choose the right partnership? How does a shopping center, or an attraction look and work out who's going to be the best fit for each other? How does that happen?Yael Coifman: Well, they hire someone like us. Kelly Molson: Of course, they do. Yael Coifman: Thank you. Oh my God, that's brilliant. No, I think it's really, really important that any shopping center that's out there, that they don't just take whoever comes knocking, because that's not necessarily the best fit for them. They have to have a really good understanding of their market. Not their shoppers market, but their attractions market. That's why I was saying it's important to hire a feasibility consultant that can look at the overall environment available to any attraction that went in there. Also, look at the competitive environment, what else is out there? Again my example from earlier, if you look at Stratford and you look at Lakeside, Lakeside has a Nickelodeon park that's part of its development, you would therefore never want to put in another Nickelodeon park within Stratford as you just cannibalizing each other. And you probably wouldn't want to do an attraction which was targeting the same age range, because you'd just be cannibalizing each other. Yael Coifman: Understanding the competitive environment is incredibly important, is the key thing. That helps you strategize and get to a shortlist of different types that could work, but then the next thing is actually doing a solid feasibility study and looking at what the performance could be of the facilities. As I said earlier, how many people are coming? How much are they going to spend? What's the potential benefit to the center overall in terms of the impact on other retail tenants and F and B tenants within the mall? All of it is incredibly important and then fortunately for us that data is not available publicly. The KPI's that you use for the analysis is all very confidential. The attractions industry is different that way than others. In the hotel industry, for example, you can purchase reports telling you how different hotels are working in different markets. What the occupancy rates are, what the average daily rates are, all that kind of stuff. That does not exist in the attractions industry, you need the function of actually building up your database of KPI's for different markets, and types of attractions, over time. Kelly Molson: Is that why, because you mentioned in the white paper, that it's actually really difficult to measure the benefits of entertainment in a retail environment. Is that why? Is that what it comes back to? Just not access to the data?Yael Coifman: Well, it comes down to two things, one is making sure that your business plan is actually based on real comparables, and assumptions based on real key performance indicators from other locations. That's one, so you actually understand how the attraction itself will work. The second thing is measuring the benefits in the rest of the mall, and part of that depends on the type of attraction. There is some research that's been done saying, for example, if you to an attraction in the mall how much will each of those visitors spend in other locations? But more research could be done, and this is something where the retail industry has been remiss. They don't know their customers, as well as the attractions industry, do. You look at the amount of data that companies like Merlin, or Disney, or whatever have. They know who's coming, they know how much they're spending, they know where they're coming from. Retailers aren't that great at that and they also tend to ask not necessarily the best questions. Kelly Molson: Yeah, you're right. Is that harder when you're in a large mall, you're not going to be as granular about your audience? Does that make sense? So are you relying on ... So Westfield, are you relying on Westfield to give you the data about who's coming through Westfield stores rather than-Yael Coifman: Yeah, exactly. And the thing is, it is their responsibility and it has been for years, is a thing, the concept of a mall intercept survey is one of the basics you learn when you're doing statistics and everything else at business school. So they've always done this, they're just not asking the right questions, and part of it has to do with the fact that they've never seen leisure as a benefit, so it's never really on their list. So they're more concerned saying, who's coming? How frequently do you come? What do you spend? But they're not saying, what was your primary reason for coming? Was it to go to the cinema first, and then did you spend on other things while you were here? Or did you come here first and then you decided to go to the family entertainment center? For example. It's figuring out what the primary driver is and that's something that's always been missing from a lot of their surveys. Yael Coifman: Hopefully, now they'll start seeing that there's actually a value to that, because if they can get those stats in, then they can justify to their retailers why they might have to pay a little bit of the share for this attraction to come in because they will benefit as well. Kelly Molson: Yeah, it's hugely beneficial isn't it to understand if someone who's coming to the center to go to the cinema, and then they might go to a couple of those shops that are there, or if they're coming for the shops. My guess is it's kind of flipping.Yael Coifman: I think it's flipping more towards entertainment.Kelly Molson: Yeah, for sure. Okay, I don't know if this will be a good fit for you actually. I saw something, there's an organization in Cambridge, they're called Sook. They have a retail space in Cambridge, and they have a retail space in South Molton Street, and I think one on Oxford Street as well. Basically, they are an adaptive retail space. So, you can kind of set it up, so if I wanted, for example, if I wanted to run a workshop for my agency, I could hire this retail space, kit it all out with all of my ... they've got screens you can put up all of your things, all of your branding, etc. on. You can rent it by the hour. So I could rent a retail space in the middle of Cambridge for XX amount per hour. Brilliant, it's a really good opportunity for small organizations to get into a different audience. Thinking about how attractions can maybe reach a different audience, or reach a different demographic that wouldn't normally come to their venue, things like museums, for example, could use a few spaces like that for doing a pop-up museum, or a pop-up gallery, or that kind of thing. Do you do anything like that, in terms of that merge of retail sales?  Yael Coifman: Well, it's a bit more challenging. I mean, I can see where you're going with it, and I think that we will see that, we will see some empty retail space which is being used sometimes for attractions or experiences. But it's going to be done of the cheap, because the thing is with most quality attractions, or even museum experiences, there is a level of investment which is necessary, and you need a certain amount of time to run that attraction to get your return on that investment. So, unless you're doing a cheap and cheerful haunted house thing for Halloween, for example, or something like that, I can't really see that working so well.Kelly Molson: It's a short-term fix, isn't it? Yael Coifman: It's the short-term thing which is the challenge. I mean, unless it's one of those things where you had a traveling exhibition. Like The Body, for example, which are going places. But that's already all done, and the way they pay back their capital is if they do multiple locations over a year, or two years, or whatever. But to just set something up for three months and then go away, it's really hard to make that work financially.Kelly Molson: Yeah, for sure. So if attractions are listening, which I hope that you are listening to this podcast, attractions. Are there any downsides to this for attractions? If this is something that they're thinking of at the moment, this merge, are there any downsides? Is this just a massive benefit? Can you highlight anything?Yael Coifman: I think it opens the opportunity up a lot more for attractions now in terms of the situation that we're currently in. But I think the downside, I hate to say downside, it's not necessarily a downside, I think it's a challenge, is you're still going to be dealing with hardcore real estate professionals that every step of the way you're going to have to justify your decisions and why you're doing this, and explain to people who don't understand the attractions industry why you're doing the things that you do. So, it is going to be an uphill battle for a while. There are people out there that are starting to get it, they really want to learn, they want to understand. Then there are others that still just think in terms of square footage, and that's it. So that's probably the biggest single challenge.Yael Coifman: I think the other challenge is to be flexible. Be a bit more flexible, not about your business model, I mean if it's a solid business plan, it's a solid business plan, but be flexible in regards to how it's funded. Because we also have to remember that a lot of these larger retail developments, or malls, or shopping centers, they want to be flexible now too, but they're owned by pension funds, and reet. So it's not as easy as you'd think for them to find the money, and it's not that they don't want to help or work with you, it's just that they have to find a workaround to get there. So I think that's probably the key lesson for both sides is that flexibility is key to make these deals work.Kelly Molson: And there is a way to make it work all the time isn't there? I mean, for instance, just thinking about this whole mixture of retail and leisure, there's now going to be a mixture of retail and rental. John Lewis is going to sell off some of its stores and they're going to become housing. Which is kind of obvious right? You could see that [crosstalk 00:28:27]. Kelly Molson: Yeah, it'd just be really interesting that people will now be living, and shopping, and all these brilliant experiences all in one place. Yael Coifman: Yeah, you're kind of recreating the old city center in one sense, before people starting moving out to the suburbs and getting their houses, and all that kind of stuff. Everything used to be just on top of each other. Kelly Molson: Yeah, thank you for sharing all that. It is fascinating to hear about what potentially could happen, it makes me feel really excited because I don't really like shopping that much. Yael Coifman: I can't stand it.Kelly Molson: It's horrible.Yael Coifman: I can't stand shopping, this is the whole thing. I'm one of those people if I have to go, I have my list, I go in, I get it, and I get right back out again. I'm not one of those girly girls that love to go shopping.Kelly Molson: Yeah, I feel exactly the same and most of my shopping I do online now, but I do miss the experience of a brilliant shop. I don't want to just go to a shop to get the basic stuff, but if there's something special I want to buy I love that feeling of going somewhere really wonderful where you just get this incredible experience of someone looking after you, or really tailoring that service to you, but I think that is becoming less, and less, and less now. We're really lucky in the town that I live in that we have a lot of independents, and you tend to get that in those small independent shops still, which is lovely. So yeah, I'll carry on shopping here, but I'll get my clothes online. Yael Coifman: Yeah.Kelly Molson: I want to talk a little bit about sustainability. It's on topic, but slightly off-topic, I know it's something that you're really passionate about, and it's something that we had a quick chat about when we spoke about the podcast in the fact that there's been an awful lot of really great work that's taken place in the last few years to ... I mean I've personally been more sustainable about the things that I'm using in my home, but the awareness of sustainability of what our surroundings are, or what we're using, and unfortunately the COVID pandemic has really taken a step back for us really because there's an awful lot of single-use plastics that are happening now. There's not a lot that we can do to control that unfortunately at the moment, but I just wondered if you could share what your thoughts are around sustainability in the leisure industry because it's something that I really want to keep it current and not be forgotten about.Yael Coifman: I think that is actually the key thing. I mean people are shoving it aside. To be frank, you look at the attractions industry, not everybody was doing a good job anyway. There were quite a lot of parks that were perfectly happy to keep giving plastic straws out until the government outlawed it or individual plastic cups, or in some cases even styrofoam, god forbid, depending on the country you're in. Yael Coifman: There are some parks though that actually were leaders in regards to really taking sustainability seriously. PortAventura is a very good example of that, in Spain, their sustainability office is not the one that's tucked down at the end of the hallway behind a broom closet, it's actually quite important for them, and it does shape every decision that they make. Not just in terms of shall, we have plastic cups or paper cups, but in regards to any kind of corporate decision, what's that impact going to be? We need to take that into account. So they've actually really integrated it into the decision-making process, into their education process as well, where Oscar the Grouch, for example, is their mascot that teaches all the kids about recycling. So they've really done a good job leveraging it. Yael Coifman: The Looping Group in France is another one as well, there are quite a few parks just trying to take it on board, but a lot of them hadn't fully embraced it. I think the problem that we have now with COVID is that they found it too easy to slip backwards into their old habits. It's easier just to give single-use plastics to guests when they're coming in. It's easy to say, we have to use plastic gloves because we have to clean everything, and keep it hygienic, and all that kind of stuff. Then you have a bunch of plastic gloves all over the place or disposal masks, and blaming it on COVID. Yael Coifman: I'm not trying to blame them, it's been a very, very difficult season for the attractions. It's been incredibly challenging, and I celebrate each and every one of them for actually reopening and doing what they could. But there is a question of let's not drop the ball on this one, COVID will not be around forever. We don't know how long it's going to be, I don't have a crystal ball, you don't either, but in five years time hopefully, it will have moved on with either a vaccine or much better treatment options, and it's going to be back to normal. There's no reason not to keep that planning going now, to take this time now when things are slower when capacity is down, and in some cases a lot of the parks might be closing soon for the winter season anyway. Look at your strategy and look at your sustainability goals, and how you're integrating them. Take the opportunity to take a step back and reassess, and make sure that you still keep with your targets so you know where you want to be in five years, even though now you're dealing with what has to be dealt with. I guess that's the key thing that kind of concerns me a bit.Kelly Molson: I completely agree with you and I think it's about when it's the right time to do that, isn't it? I think like you say if we're coming to attractions have done anything and everything that they can to be open, and to stay open for as long as possible this year, understandably, but I think yeah, now is the time to take a little bit of a step back and say what are we doing and how can we improve that for when we reopen in a few months? What can we do to improve that? Kelly Molson: We are going to have Holkham Estates come on the podcast in a few weeks, which I'm really excited about, and they're going to be talking about their sustainability plan for 2021, so if you are interested in learning a little bit more about that, and understanding what their plans are, then definitely stay tuned. Kelly Molson: Yael, I've loved having you on the podcast today, thank you. I do have one final question for you.Yael Coifman: Okay.Kelly Molson: Which is a book recommendation. We ask all of our lovely guests if there's a book that they would recommend to our listeners that it's either helped shape their career in some way or just they love it for whatever reason. So have you got one that you could recommend for us today?Yael Coifman: I'm actually going to answer this in a completely different way, starting off by saying no.Kelly Molson: Okay, no one has ever done this before, you rebel.Yael Coifman: Because, okay let's be honest, the traditionalist would probably say it's probably Buzz Price's book, or it's The Experience Economy or any of that kind of stuff. And the truth is no, they haven't shaped my career. Yael Coifman: What did shape my career is the fact that when I was doing my undergraduate degree I did it economics and political science, and I read a book called The Economics of Latin America. That got me very interested in Latin America and then made me want to actually get into that from the political standpoint. So I went to go live in Spain for several years so I could learn Spanish. While I was there I got involved in the leisure and tourism industry in the sense that I used to run tours for all those bratty US high school kids that do Europe in 10 days.Kelly Molson: Great job.Yael Coifman: Yeah, it was brilliant. Then I went back to the US and I did my MBA. But the thing is what I got out of that was actually learning Spanish and becoming fluent in it, and that shaped my career more than anything else because it meant that I had much more mobility in my job, I was given responsibility for all of Latin America because I was the only senior staff member that actually spoke Spanish. It's been incredibly useful here, I also speak French. So I answered your question in a different way than what you expected, I think. Kelly Molson: Yeah, you did, but I love it, I love that you did that because I am attempting to learn Spanish myself at the moment, quite badly, via Duolingo as well because I'm doing Duolingo is an app, you can do 5 or 10 minutes a day, and it's quite good in the sense that there are words that are sticking, but there's nothing that beats going and actually living in a country and learning it in that way is there?Yael Coifman: No, 100%. I would say of all the things that I did that is the one that probably shaped and helped my career more than anything else was learning ... Granted, I did know French before anyway, but Spanish is, after Mandarin, I think it's the second-highest language in the world in terms of speaking so that just opens up so many doors it's just ridiculous.Kelly Molson: So, this is for me and not for our listeners, sorry listeners. So normally we offer the chance for our listeners to win the book that's recommended, but I'm going to ask you a question but this is for me personally. I can't go to Spain right now, sadly, I'd love to, it's warm. What else can I do to help improve my Spanish? What else could you recommend that would help me?Yael Coifman: Right, so one of the things, and I don't know if you can get this but you might be able to on YouTube or something, one of the things that used to help me when I was living in Spain, granted remember I had maybe one semester of Spanish, so I was not doing well in the early months, was I would actually watch American television shows dubbed in Spanish.Kelly Molson: Oh, that's a great idea.Yael Coifman: The reason for that is they actually ... the Spanish language, the sentences are a lot longer normally, they speak a lot more quickly, Americans don't speak that quickly, with me as an exception clearly. But it was the early days of 90210, so yes, I'm dating myself now. Kelly Molson: I love that.Yael Coifman: I would watch 90210 in Spanish, and that actually helped. The other thing which again sounds really stupid, but I read really cheesy harlequin romances, I think here you call them something and Boone.Kelly Molson: Mills and Boone, yes.Yael Coifman: Because again, not really difficult in terms of sentence structure. Kelly Molson: Love it.Yael Coifman: But then you start reading it quickly, and you start skimming and seeing the words, and understanding what's happening because it's not challenging to be honest, it's just a way to get it in. Kelly Molson: Thank you. So sorry listeners, you don't get to win anything this episode, but maybe you're trying to learn Spanish just like me and Yael has completely helped you out.Yael Coifman: There you go. Kelly Molson: So what I'm going to do, I'm going to find my favorite cheesy programs and I'm going to watch them Spanish dubbed. That's the way forward.Yael Coifman: That's the way to do it. Kelly Molson: Do I admit what my favorite cheesy programs are? I'm not sure. I could do for a bit of 90210 though, that's a good retro. Yael Coifman: I think you kind of have admit it, given the fact that I've admitted I used to watch 90210. Kelly Molson: Okay, I tell you what I'm loving at the moment, it's new, it's not retro, but I'm loving Cobra Kai on Netflix if anyone's watching it. So good, it's so good.Yael Coifman: I haven't seen it yet.Kelly Molson: I am the Retro Queen, I am the '80s film queen. I'm a really nostalgic person so I'll watch those films over and over again, they just give me such a great sense of comfort. I was a bit poorly last week, so I sat on the sofa with a duvet watching Karate Kid, and then I was like, right great, well I'm in the zone now-Yael Coifman: You're in the zone, you can go to Cobra Kai.Kelly Molson: Oh my God, it's so good. It's really good, we were obsessed with it. Every night we're just like ... and the episodes are 25 minutes long so-Yael Coifman: Perfect.Kelly Molson: Anyway, so completely off topic there, but-Yael Coifman: Completely. Kelly Molson: Yael, thank you so much for spending time with me today, I really enjoyed it.Yael Coifman: My pleasure, yeah.Kelly Molson: I'm going to put all of your contact details into the show notes, but just for the listeners who aren't going to go and read those show notes, where's the best place that they can connect with you and find you?Yael Coifman: Either via our website, they can just email directly from there, or LinkedIn is probably best. Kelly Molson: Cool and what's your website address?Yael Coifman: Leisuredevelopment.co.uk.Kelly Molson: There you go kids, if you are listening and you want to chat with Yael, that is where to get her.

This week's' conversation is with Adrian Fisher. This is a man who believes in the power of the rough pencil sketch. He believes in having control, but not. My art form is parallel rows of things. -- Adrian FisherHe is a maze designer. I can't seem to get enough of interviews with people who design and construct mazes, so you'll indulge me? Thanks. I think there is a parallel between creating mazes and writing stories and almost got Adrian to go along with the idea, but not quite. He was helpful, though, when I told him about the time I had an anxiety attack while in a corn maze, offering the wise explanation that I am a modern person who expects everything to work like a computer. This is true. It's like playing chess with me except that I have to play all my moves in advance as the chess player, as the designer, and then I must lose. I must lose just before you've had enough. Because I'm here to entertain you. One thing to remember as you listen: This is a Skype, not a phone call. So it has the usual Skype blips and dropouts, which is why I don’t usually use Skype for podcasts. Adrian joined me on the call from his studio in Dorset, England, so Skype was the best way to go. Since 1979, Adrian and his company have designed and created more than 700 full-size mazes in the grounds of palaces, castles, stately homes, zoos, wildlife parks, amusement parks, children’s museums, science centers, malls, universities, schools, city centers, and farms. He has written six books about mazes. The Queen visited a maze he made to commemorate the Beatles.Adrian has also created rides and puzzles for iconic visitor attractions across the globe including Legoland, Tussauds and the London Dungeon. He has made the tallest maze in the world, up the side of a building, and some of the largest corn mazes.I want to make you the hero of your own story.
