This week the Troika discuss...Steamboat disasters. We're starting with the disaster of the Lucy Walker. Also, the other Steve took 4/20 way too seriously and started the night before and barely made it through this episode. At the end of the day, however, the content did not suffer...much. Enjoy!

2021 marked the premiere of Lucy Walker’s documentary film “Bring Your Own Brigade” which unpacked the catastrophic California wildfires of 2018, The Camp Fire and The Woolsey Fire. Now four years after the film was released, Southern California recently experienced even more devastating wildfires in January 2025. The most damaging fires were the Eaton Fire and the Palisades Fire. For Lucy Walker, history is repeating itself at an even larger scale and her 2021 film is even more relevant today. It’s a traumatic revisiting of difficult subject matter, and here Lucy shares what she has learned about wildfires since making her film and what she thinks can be done to prevent wildfires from becoming even more catastrophic.

'Mountain Queen: The Summits of Lhakpa Sherpa' profiles an immigrant from Nepal who works at a Connecticut Whole Foods, but has another life as a record-breaking climber. Oscar-nominated director Lucy Walker follows the climber as she tries to make a better life for her daughters by climbing Mount Everest for the tenth time. 

“Climbing the mountain” is a fitting description of the uphill struggle that all documentary filmmakers face when taking on any new project. Acclaimed filmmaker Lucy Walker (“Bring Your Own Brigade”, “The Crash Reel”) takes that metaphor to new heights with “Mountain Queen: The Summits of Lhakpa Sherpa,” her ambitious, multilayered new documentary portrait of world class mountain climber Lhakpa Sherpa.   Joining Ken on the pod for a return visit, Lucy talks about her deep admiration for Lhakpa, who, growing up in the Himalayas of Nepal, always felt a strong spiritual connection to Mount Everest. But, as a woman climber and a Sherpa, Lhakpa had to fight to overcome rampant discrimination and a series of seemingly insurmountable obstacles to achieve her dreams. “Mountain Queen” masterfully documents Lhakpa's attempt to summit Everest for a world record-breaking 10th time and reveals that her ultimate quest may be to inspire her daughters to climb their own mountains.   “Mountain Queen: The Summits of Lhakpa Sherpa” streams on Netflix beginning on July 31st. You can find our 2022 convo with Lucy about “Bring Your Own Brigade” here.   Follow: @lucywalkerfilm on Instagram and twitter/X @topdocspod on Instagram and twitter/X   Hidden Gem: “Maya and the Wave”   The Presenting Sponsor of "Top Docs" is Netflix.

She's a single mom working at a Whole Foods in Connecticut with one dream: to climb Mount Everest…again! Lhakpa Sherpa holds the record for most Everest summits by a woman. Now she returns to her native Nepal to conquer the world's tallest mountain for the tenth time, and in the process, find healing from her past traumas. The Netflix documentary film Mountain Queen: The Summits of Lhakpa Sherpa follows her dangerous trek to the top of the world. It also explores Lhakpa's efforts to climb out of the valley of her despair and achieve serenity through the spiritual powers of her beloved Everest.  In this episode of You Can't Make This Up, host Rebecca Lavoie interviews director Lucy Walker and producer Miranda Sherman. SPOILER ALERT! If you haven't watched Mountain Queen: The Summits of Lhakpa Sherpa yet, make sure to add it to your watch-list before listening on.  Listen to more from Netflix Podcasts.

Lhakpa Sherpa broke a record: she was the first Nepali woman to climb and descend Everest. Then she broke another: summiting for the tenth time, she had now summited the tallest peak in the world more times than any other woman. But the gruelling ascent mirrored her own journey through life: from braving her way and disguising herself as a man to become a sherpa, to finding the courage to leave a violent marriage to give her daughters a better life, Lhakpa has shown that there is no summit she cannot overcome. In conversation with filmmaker Lucy Walker whose film Mountain Queen follows Lhakpa's record-breaking tenth summit and illuminates her extraordinary life, Lhakpa shares her inspiring story and her lifelong dream of empowering women.

MOUNTAIN QUEEN: THE SUMMITS OF LHAKPA SHERPA tracks Lhakpa's storied mountaineering career in pursuit of her record-breaking 10th summit to reveal a rich personal history – from her childhood as a girl denied an education in rural Nepal, to her experience as an immigrant in America and survivor of intimate partner violence, to her fight to live as a fearless example to her teenage daughters. Through it all, Lhakpa climbs - her incredible strength and resilience inspired by her own mother goddess of the universe - Chomolungma, Mt. Everest. Lhakpa Sherpa has summited Mt. Everest more than any woman in history. The first Nepali woman to summit and descend in 2000, Lhakpa keeps climbing in pursuit of a better life for herself and her children and to champion Nepali women and girls. MOUNTAIN QUEEN: THE SUMMITS OF LHAKPA SHERPA highlights the incredible determination of mothers fighting to protect and inspire their children. Above all, Lhakpa's story is one of a family surviving, healing, and climbing forward. Director and co-producer Lucy Walker (Bring Your Own Brigade, The Crash Reel, Waste Land, Countdown to Zero) stops by to talk how her previous documentary work brought her to tell Lhakpa's story, capturing the steely determination of Lhakpa to follow her own path, and how her achievements have impacted her daughters, Sunny and Shiny.

The Toronto International Film Festival (September 7 – 17, 2023) is one of the world's top showcases for documentary film. No doubt, numerous films from this year's lineup will be among the most acclaimed and talked about of the Fall awards season and beyond. DOC NYC co-founder Thom Powers, who has been TIFF's Documentary Programmer since 2006, joins Top Docs to discuss this year's selections, trends and standouts. The 2023 lineup includes new films from such renowned filmmakers as Frederick Wiseman, Raoul Peck and Lucy Walker, as well as works by some remarkably talented new voices on the documentary scene. Our Sundance roundup is one of our most popular pods, so we're thrilled to be able to take you on an insider's tour of the TIFF doc lineup with the perfect guide leading the way.   Follow: @thompwers1 on Instagram and @thompwers on twitter @topdocspod on Instagram and twitter   The Presenting Sponsor of "Top Docs" is Netflix.

My guests today, Ryan Horrigan and Armando Kirwin, bonded over their mutual fascination with the future of entertainment and their desire to do something innovative, which led to the creation of their current company, Artie. We talk about pivots and micro pivots and staying sane through the million tiny conversations Cofounders need to navigate. Ryan, the CEO, and Armando, President and co-founder of Artie have a pretty radical vision for the future of social media— namely, to make TikTok, Instagram, Twitter and other social media apps the gaming consoles of the future. Before co-founding Artie, Ryan served as Chief Content Officer of the Comcast-backed VR & AR startup Felix & Paul Studios. He oversaw the development and production of feature films, including Academy Award Best Picture Winner “12 Years A Slave.” at Fox/New Regency, and is a two-time Emmy Award winner for immersive entertainment projects he produced with President Barack Obama and NASA, as well as a Peabody Award winner. Armando has been in the VFX world for over fifteen years, working with numerous award-winning directors, including two-time Academy Award nominee Lucy Walker,  Sundance Grand Jury prize nominee Sandy Smolan on The Click Effect, which was nominated for an Emmy; and Imraan Ismail on The Displaced, which won the Grand Prix at Cannes. He also produced Take Flight, starring Benicio del Toro, Michael Fassbender, and Charlize Theron. His most recent VR film, Nothing is Safe (2022), was an official selection of the Cannes Marché du Film. While movies are a wonderful industry, they both saw the power and potential of gaming as a storytelling platform - and a financial juggernaut. If you didn't know: According to a report by SuperData Research, the global gaming market was valued at $159.3 billion in 2020. This includes revenue from console games, PC games, mobile games, and esports. Let's put that into perspective: the music industry was valued at $19.1 billion in 2020, and the movie industry at $41.7 billion. That means the gaming industry is more than three times the size of the music industry and almost four times the size of the movie industry. TikTok used to be where people just watched videos (as of this writing, TikTok and Netflix are nearly tied for eyeball-hours). Now, hundreds of thousands of people are playing games on TikTok thanks to Artie and the technology breakthroughs that make streaming app-quality games from within social media apps possible. But how did they get here? Through a million micro conversations about data, signals, stakeholders and what it all means. Artie is where are are today not because of one big pivot, but many, many micro-pivots over the course of years. Pivots impact the team - who you needed on staff  when you were focused on one path isn't always who you need when you've decided to shift directions. Communication between departments and involving the team more is important - which means being intentional about regular check-ins and interdepartmental communication, but eventually, it comes down to the co-founder conversation - owning the choices that need to be made and moving forward, all while making sure you stay healthy and sane. Pivots vs Shaping Clay I loved this metaphor from Ryan, where he suggested that, from the outside, to investors, bloggers and customers, a company may have pivoted once, or a few times. From the inside, there are daily conversations, where the product is being shaped like clay, remade, refocused, almost constantly. “Listen to your body, have a Coach and a Therapist” This was one of my favorite insights from this conversation. It's not often that men talk openly about mental health and needing support. Ryan and Armando both have a coach (although they meet with that coach separately) and Armando advocated for having a therapist, while Ryan discussed how they got much much more intentional about listening to their bodies and taking down time. Armando suggests that therapy focuses on self-awareness, learning about yourself and your patterns, while his coaching focuses on future outcomes and goals. “You have to care deeply about your people, but at the same time, you can't care about what they think of you” Ryan quotes what he describes as a harsh-sounding notion from  Dick Costello when he was at Twitter: In Ryan's experience, when you make a tough decision, you can't worry about everyone's collective feelings (even though you DO care about them as people and teammates). You have to make the decision that you, as the leader, believe needs to be made. As a founder, you have to make and own tough decisions. Ryan points out that, at the end of the day, you can't ignore tough decisions. You can't have someone else do it for you. He suggests that while these moments are hard, it's helpful to focus on the people who are still with you and the ultimate goals you're trying to achieve. Links https://www.artie.com/

A la fin des années 90s, le monde entier découvre le Buena Vista Social Club et se passionne tout à coup pour la musique cubaine. Il faut dire que le célèbre film documentaire de Wim Wenders y est pour quelque chose. Si leur musique s'est répandue dans le monde entier, c'est d'abord grâce à un gros fan de musiques, Nick Gold, et au bluesman Ry Cooder, qui décide un jour de réaliser un rêve : réunir d'authentiques musiciens cubains, des légendes oubliées pour produire un putain d'album !   Ce disque, paru en 1997, pourrait bien être l'album le plus important de la musique cubaine de la fin du 20e siècle, et à coup sûr celui qui a permis à ses membres de devenir mondialement reconnus.  Dans cet épisode Olivia vous raconte la story de Cumpay Segundo, Eliades Ochoa, Ruben González et Ibrahim Ferrer ; Grégoire nous emmène dans les studios mythiques de la EGREM, et Fanny revient sur les documentaires de Wim Wenders et Lucy Walker.    Crédits  Générique : Dr Alban "Sing Hallelujah" Titres écoutés dans l'émission : “Chan Chan”, “De Camino A La Vereda”, “El Cuarto De Tula”, “Pueblo Nuevo”, “Dos Gardenias”, “¿Y Tú Qué Has Hecho?”, “Veinte Años”, “El Carretero”, “Candela”, “Amor De Loca Juventud”, “Orgullecida”, “Murmullo”, “Buena Vista Social Club”, “La Bayamesa”.  Ali Farka Toure, Ry Cooder “Bonde”, Arsenio Rodriguez “Dundunbanza”.

As the CBSO prepares for a summer of tours to Aldeburgh, Japan, and the BBC Proms, the orchestra's new Chief Conductor Kazuki Yamada speaks to presenter Tom Service about the joy of music and the goosebumps he experiences while conducting. Tom travels to the South Downs to speak to Australian director Barrie Kosky about a new production, opening this weekend at Glyndebourne, of Poulenc's Dialogues des Carmélites. He's joined by sopranos Golda Schultz and Sally Matthews, as well as conductor Robin Ticciati, to talk about the story of sixteen nuns who meet their death at the hands of the French Revolution. Amid rehearsals at the Royal Opera House, Music Matters hears about the World Premiere of a new ballet, Untitled 2023 – a collaboration between the Royal Ballet's resident choreographer Wayne McGregor and composer Anna Thorvaldsdottir. They discuss the somatic relationship between body, dance and music, and why listening to Thorvaldsdottir's compositions is not a passive experience. And one hundred years after its premiere at the Aeolian Hall in June 1923, Tom speaks to the writer and broadcaster William Sitwell about his great-aunt Edith Sitwell's creative relationship with the composer William Walton – a collaboration which resulted in the entertainment, Façade. He's also joined by writer and researcher Lucy Walker. Together they discuss the work's nonsensical parody of popular music, jazz, and poetry and knotty issues it presents to contemporary audiences.

Are the tides turning on psychedelics? What once was considered a dangerous experiment might now be the answer to PTSD, depression, anxiety and other mental health problems. Lucy Walker, the documentary filmmaker of How to Change Your Mind, has studied the effects of various psychedelics and is convinced of the favorable treatment they provide. It may seem counterintuitive, but Lucy cites examples of how these drugs can lead to long-term sobriety. Tune in to hear about the studies and the existing roadblocks.    IN THIS EPISODE:  [03:00] Lucy describes why she produced the documentary, her experience with drugs and how she obtained the rights to Michael Pollan's book [10:12] How the illness of Lucy's sister spurred Lucy to delve deeper into research as she produced her film. Amanda and Lucy discuss the need for more discussion about death and dying [17:13] Lucy discusses her cancer and the misdiagnosis and how her recovery reframed her thinking about life [24:30] Lucy explains what components are necessary for her to choose a film project [26:55] A drug called ibogaine is showing promise with opiate addiction, and yet it is still illegal [30:18] The story of a friend who struggled with depression and trauma and fatally went on to use heroin and cocaine and died [34:54] The status of FDA approval and the decriminalization movement. The use of MDMA for PTSD patients and how it will be available in psychotherapist's offices    KEY TAKEAWAYS: There are drugs used for cancer treatments and depression; hence the buzz phrase “nature's antidepressant” was born.  Clinical trials suggest that psilocybin can provide remission from depression and anxiety. Ibogaine has anti-addictive properties suggesting promise in treating alcohol use disorders.   RESOURCES: Amandadecadenet.com Amanda de Cadenet LinkedIn Amanda de Cadenet Instagram Lucy Walker - LinkedIn Lucy Walker - Facebook Documentary - YouTube Lucy Walker Directing Ibogaine Feature Doc ‘Of Night & Light'   ABOUT THIS PODCAST: The Conversation with Amanda de Cadenet is a groundbreaking series of weekly interviews featuring candid conversations with impactful thought leaders.

So I had renewed determination to use the time I had to be of benefit. “ - Lucy Walker   “The fact is that psychedelics now are shown incredible promise for alcohol use disorder and all kinds of addictions, including smoking. Ibogaine has this specific property for opiate withdrawal, but lots of these other compounds, including psilocybin, are tools showing incredible promise. Couldn't we just use them in our world? It's so counterintuitive that something that's got this scary reputation, like psychedelics, could actually be helpful for anxiety and that a drug that we think of as an illegal, bad drug could actually be really helpful to combat, for example, drug addictions and drug use disorders.” - Lucy WalkerSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Lucy talks about how she became a multi-award-winning documentarian, about the craft of making documentaries, what it was like to climb a peak in the Himalayas with a group of blind Tibetan children, what it was like to create art out of waste in one of the largest landfill sites in the world, how the Amish youth are set free in the hope they return to the community for life and many other extraordinary stories. Her documentaries are outstanding; they shine a spotlight on injustice and ignorance, they celebrate bravery against the odds, they uncover latent dangers, they are thought provoking, they inform and they challenge. She is a genius! Related Links: Devil's Playground Blindsight Waste Land Bring Your Own Brigade How to Change Your Mind

Australia is burning. And so is Greece, China, South Africa, Brazil, Congo, and even Siberia. And, of course, California is burning, more so than ever. In her eye-opening documentary “Bring Your Own Brigade”, Academy Award-nominated filmmaker Lucy Walker (“The Crash Reel”, “Waste Land”) skillfully lays out the causes and consequences of the terrifying, apocalyptic fires that represent a global crisis burning out of control. Focusing on the twin monster fires that engulfed Northern and Southern California on November 8th, 2018, Lucy hits the road to interview a wide range of experts, first responders, fire victims and Native American tribal practitioners to learn about the history behind California's ongoing and fraught relationship to fire.   On a recent, calm California night, Ken spoke with Lucy about her vow to “get to the bottom” of why these horrific fires keep happening. Why did she decide, for the first time, to put herself in her own movie? As her thorough inquiry unfolded, in what ways were Lucy's assumptions about the relationship between climate change and fire challenged? And, as desperate as this situation is, why does she believe that something can be done to help prevent these catastrophes in the future? You'll learn a lot from this episode of Top Docs and maybe even experience a spark of something called “hope”. “Bring Your Own Brigade” can be streamed for free at CBSNews.com.   Hidden Gems: Streetwise The Farm

The Taliban has now taken control of Herat, Afghanistan's third-largest city.  To assess the latest, Bianna speaks with Barnett Rubin, who has advised the U.S. government on Afghanistan, and Ahmed Rashid, a longtime expert on the Taliban. This week a bipartisan group pushed a trillion-dollar bill through the Senate; hot on its heels was an additional $3.5 trillion budget blueprint. To dig into what these bills would mean for the American people – and whether they'll pass at all – Bianna speaks with former Democratic Senator Heidi Heitkamp. California is battling its second-largest wildfire ever. Exhausted and traumatized firefighters are trying to stop the blazes that are devastating the land and destroying homes. Oscar-nominated director Lucy Walker experienced such scenes firsthand when she embedded with a group of firefighters during the megafires of 2018, a story depicted in her new documentary, "Bring Your Own Brigade." Former U.S. Attorney Preet Bharara joins Walter Isaacson to discuss the revelations and to share his reaction to Gov. Cuomo's resignation.
