Buying a machine shop from the outside can sound intimidating. For Nik and Aaron of Mahler Machining, it was also an opportunity. In this episode of Machine Shop Mastery, Paul sits down with the two partners who acquired a precision machining business in Vancouver, British Columbia after spending nearly a decade in corporate finance and private equity. Instead of continuing to advise businesses from the outside, they decided to own and operate one themselves. Their search led them to manufacturing, and ultimately to Mahler Machining, a shop they believed had the foundation to grow into something much larger. What makes this conversation especially valuable is the playbook they share for buying a machine shop the right way. From structuring the deal with the retiring owners, to spending their entire first year on the shop floor learning the business, to intentionally investing in culture, systems, and leadership, Nik and Aaron walk through how they approached the transition. Their story shows how disciplined operators from outside the industry can successfully step into manufacturing ownership while earning the trust of the team already in place. Since acquiring the business, they've implemented major operational improvements, including adding a third shift, investing in new equipment, building a formal sales engine, implementing ERP, and even completing a tuck-in acquisition of another small shop. The result has been consistent growth while laying the groundwork for entry into aerospace and defense markets. For anyone thinking about buying a machine shop, scaling one beyond the typical owner-operator ceiling, or preparing their own shop for acquisition someday, this episode provides a rare behind-the-scenes look at how thoughtful operators approach the process.

260305PC Bashing und Verbot ist keine Lösung Mensch Mahler am 5.3.2026Die AfD ist keine Alternative, aber ein Problem. Vor allen Dingen ein Problem, das man ernst nehmen muss. Bashing führt in aller Regel dazu, dass die Gebashten gestärkt daraus hervorgehen. Und man kann nicht darüber hinwegsehen, dass die AfD im Bundestrend bei 24% liegt – das heißt dass ein Viertel aller WählerInnen derzeit die AfD bevorzugen würden. Darüber kann man nicht hinwegsehen.Die Proteste gegen die AfD nehmen zu, je mehr die Partei erstarkt. Die Stimmen, die ein Verbot verlangen, auch. Die Hoffnung, dass sich die AfD selbst zerlegt, schwindet. Offensichtlich können die Abgeordneten machen was sie wollen – siehe Vetternwirtschaft – die Basis der WählerInnen beeindruckt das nicht. Eine Partei kann in Deutschland nur durch das Bundesverfassungsgericht verboten werden, wenn sie verfassungswidrig ist. Das bedeutet, sie muss aktiv darauf abzielen, die freiheitliche demokratische Grundordnung zu beeinträchtigen, zu beseitigen oder den Bestand der Bundesrepublik zu gefährden. Zudem muss eine realistische Chance bestehen, dass die Partei ihre Ziele erreicht. Alt-Präsident Joachim Gauck hat sich zu Wort gemeldet. Er lehnt ein Verbotsverfahren ab. „Wir sollten die AfD politisch stellen, auch als Bürgergesellschaft, sagte Gauck der rheinischen Post. „Man muss nicht jeden Mist unwidersprochen anhören.“ Es gäbe in Ostdeutschland „eine schwächere Zivilgesellschaft“. Das könne man an der Zahl der Vereine, an der Zahl der aktiven Menschen bemessen. Für den Erfolg der AfD im Westen macht Gauck die Politik mitverantwortlich. „Der Populismus nährt sich auch aus den Misserfolgen der gewählten Politiker.“Mahler meint: Derzeit kein Verbotsverfahren, sondern eine aktive gute Politik der gewählten Politiker dagegensetzen. Das ist das Gebot der Stunde, um die Radikalen nicht versehentlich noch mehr zu stärken. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

260225PC Alles auf ZuckerMensch Mahler am 25.02.2026Der CDU-Parteitag hat eine von Schleswig-Holsteins CDU-Ministerpräsident geforderte Zuckersteuer mehrheitlich abgelehnt. Doch Daniel Günther gibt nicht auf und will die Steuer über den Bundesrat durchsetzen.„Das Thema Zuckersteuer hat sich natürlich nicht erledigt“, sagte der CDU-Politiker dem RedaktionsNetzwerk Deutschland. Sein Landesverband habe einen klaren Parteitagsbeschluss sowie „manche Unterstützung“ auf dem Bundesparteitag bekommen, ferner hätten andere Bundesländer Sympathien dafür. So werde Schleswig-Holstein die Wege, „die uns jetzt offenbleiben – im Bundesrat –, entsprechend nutzen, um erfolgreich zu sein.“Günther zeigte sich verärgert über die Debatte auf dem Parteitag. „Die ganzen Argumente, die da eine Rolle gespielt haben, hatten nichts mit Jugendschutz zu tun.“ Vielmehr habe es sich um eine Abwehrdebatte gehandelt, „weil man glaubte, dass das Thema Zuckersteuer etwas ist, das die Wirtschaft belastet“. Das Gegenteil sei der Fall, wie man in vielen anderen Ländern, etwa Großbritannien, sehen könne. „Und deswegen werden wir weiter Überzeugungsarbeit leisten.“Mahler meint, dass diese Debatte eine Farce ist. Zucker schadet nachweislich der Gesundheit. Vor allem der Gesundheit von Kindern. Wenn die Wirtschaft meint, auf Kosten der Gesundheit der Menschen Geschäfte machen zu können, muss der Gesetzgeber hier entschlossen handeln. Das Beispiel Großbritannien hat gezeigt, dass das geht.

Les vuitenes simfonies de Beethoven, Bruckner, Dvor

Hay historias que el título mismo no deja lugar a dudas de lo que tratan y a dónde van. No hay espóiler alguno en decir que "Muerte en Venecia" (1912) es una obra sobre esa cita ineludible a la que todos nos enfrentamos. Hace 150 años que nació su autor, Thomas Mann (1875-1955), parte de una familia que ha hecho historia en Alemania como ejemplo de una clase social y una cultura cuya intelectualidad llega una decadencia tal, que acaba en el nazismo. En Thomas se da la tensión también entre la madre católica de origen brasileño y el padre protestante luterano, su atracción por el sur y la racionalidad germana, pero también su orientación homosexual, nunca practicada. Como en todos sus libros, "Muerte en Venecia" tiene una dimensión alegórica y simbólica, que uno no capta si se queda simplemente con la historia de este hombre que se va a Venecia y se queda prendado de un muchacho, para encontrar la muerte. Como novela intelectual, los pensamientos del personaje no dejan lugar a dudas que el chico no es más un símbolo de la belleza y el escritor del arte que te lleva a la destrucción. El director italiano Luchino Visconti lo lleva al cine en 1971 en una fiel versión, que cambia sólo la literatura por la música en la ocupación del protagonista. La quinta y tercera sinfonía de Mahler llenan la película con imágenes de una Venecia invernal, para ilustrar una historias donde hasta las góndolas se convierten en ataúdes. En este programa de radio "Al Trasluz" escuchamos fragmentos del libro leído por Eugenio Barona y de la versión doblada al castellano de la película. José de Segovia comenta la obra y el autor, para tratar el tema de la muerte a la luz de la Biblia con la música de Mahler de fondo y la banda sonora de Angelo Badalamenti para la película de Paul Schrader, "El placer de los extraños" (1990) basada en la novela de Ian McEwan sobre otros extranjeros en crisis que encuentran un terrible final en Venecia. La música que suena al final es la composición de Stelvio Cipriani para "Anónimo veneciano" (1970), la película que se hizo tan popular en España de Enrico María Salerno. Las canciones son el "Senza Fine" de Gino Paoli, escrita en 1961 para la ahora fallecida Ornella Vanoni, pero que escuchamos en la voz del compositor y cantautor genovés. Y la composición que hizo el cantautor belga de habla francesa, Jacques Brel, sobre la muerte en 1959, que fascinó al americano Scott Walker, que la interpreta aquí con su potente voz en 1967 como "Mi muerte" (My Death) en 1967, antes de que David Bowie la popularizará en 1972. La realización técnica que une todas estas músicas y voces es obra de Daniel Panduro y los comentarios de José de Segovia.

Herbert von Karajan zählt zu den prägendsten Dirigenten des 20. Jahrhunderts. Mit seinen Interpretationen von Beethoven über Verdi bis Mahler setzte er Maßstäbe in der klassischen Musik. So unumstritten er aber in der Kunst war, so umstritten ist Karajan historisch. Vor allem sein Verhalten während der NS-Zeit wird bis heute kontrovers diskutiert, ohne, dass eine umfassende historische Aufarbeitung und Einordnung stattgefunden hat. Der Historiker Michael Wolffsohn zeichnet nun auf Grundlage zahlreicher, teils erstmals ausgewerteter Quellen und vielfältiger Perspektiven ein umfassendes Bild von Karajans Leben und Handeln während der NS-Zeit und in den Jahren danach. Das Ergebnis ist eine Figur zwischen „Genie und Gewissen“ im Spannungsfeld von Musik, Politik und Geschichte.

Richard Stokes has been passionate about song since he was a teenager – although, as he readily admits, he's not a great singer. Instead, he's become one of the world's leading authorities on German art songs – or lieder – and has also co-written books on English, French and Spanish songs. His work as a translator includes the complete Bach cantatas and the complete songs of Hugo Wolf, as well as operas by Wagner and Berg. He also collaborated with the pianist Alfred Brendel on translations of his poetry. Since 2006 he's coached young singers at the Royal Academy of Music in London, where he's Professor of Lieder. His choices include music by Bach, Mahler and Stravinsky. Presenter Michael Berkeley Producer Graham Rogers

Here's a rare sampling of Countermelody favorite, the refulgent Czech contralto Věra Soukupová, in song repertoire, accompanied by both piano and full orchestra. The featured works are two song cycles of the so-called “late Romantic era,” one by Antonín Dvořák (his 1894 Biblical Songs), and one by Gustav Mahler, his 1901 Kindertotenlieder cycle. The Dvořák recording stems from 1967 and features Czech pianist Ivan Moravec; the Mahler is from 1963 and features the great Czech conductor (and Mahler specialist) Václav Neumann leading the Czech Philharmonic. The setlist includes two additional Mahler orchestral songs with Soukupová and Neumann as well as excerpts from Soukupová's 1976 recording of two song cycles by Robert Schumann, accompanied by Czech pianist Jan Horák. Countermelody is the podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and author yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

The English contralto Alfreda Hodgson (07 June 1940 – 16 April 1992) has been featured numerous times on Countermelody and when I recently acquired a copy of her 1980 solo recital recording originally released on Pearl Records, I decided that the time was right to do a full episode on this rich-voiced, profoundly musical singer. Though she was equally superb in Bach, Mahler, Handel, and Elgar, I have chosen to focus on her performances of the music of Johannes Brahms, including superb recordings of the Alto Rhapsody, the Songs for Alto and Viola, the Vier ernste Gesänge, and a posthumously-assembled collection of his Lieder published under the title Mädchenlieder. Artists accompanying Hodgson include Bernard Haitink, Edward Downes, violist Ludmila Navrath, and her long-standing pianist, the late Keith Swallow. I begin the episode with brief examples of Hodgson singing (in English) the music of her countrymen Lennox Berkeley, Edward Elgar, and John Ireland in the company of Peter Pears, Gennady Rozhdestvensky, Steuart Bedford, and Alan Rowlands.

The New Yorker magazine called Joyce DiDonato “perhaps the most potent female singer of her generation.”  Joyce has towered at the top of the industry as a performer, a producer, and a fierce advocate for the arts. With a repertoire spanning over four centuries, a varied and highly acclaimed discography, and industry-leading projects, her artistry has defined what it is to be a singer in the 21st century.Joyce enjoys a musical partnership with Yannick Nézet-Séguin and the Philadelphia Orchestra and, of course, the Metropolitan Opera. Joyce's distinctively varied 2025-26 season commenced with season-opening concerts for the Minnesota Orchestra and Montreal's Orchestre Métropolitain, as well as the re-opening Powell Hall with the St. Louis Symphony Orchestra in a Kevin Puts's World Premiere, House of Tomorrow. She only recently made her Lincoln Center Theater stage debut as The Mother in Amahl and the Night Visitors, and is about to star in the Met's production of Innocence by Kaija Saariaho.Concert appearances include Mahler's Symphony No. 2 with Nézet-Séguin and The Philadelphia Orchestra, and Mahler's Symphony No. 3 with Nézet-Séguin and the Berlin Philharmoniker. Joyce also joins the Metropolitan Opera Orchestra for her second European tour with Yannick and this orchestra following a performance of Mahler's Symphony No. 4 at Carnegie Hall.She is also, quite plainly, a genuine delight.

In the 1960s, Leonard Bernstein famously helped to popularize the music of a then relatively obscure composer, Gustav Mahler. His work, as well as the work of other conductors, made Mahler into a classical-music household name. Mahler's symphonies are played every year all over the world, and he is firmly ensconced in the so-called canon of standard orchestral repertoire. Would it surprise you to know that Franck's D Minor Symphony once had the same reputation? It was played almost every year by most major orchestras, it was recorded by all the great conductors, and it was a fixture of the canon just like a Brahms symphony. Nowadays you would be lucky if, outside of France and Belgium, you hear Franck's Symphony once every five years, if that. The truth is that, other than a short golden period for this symphony, it has either been controversial (around the time it was premiered) or ignored (nowadays), which is a real shame, since it is a glorious piece that I would argue is drastically underrated in our modern world. The symphony was radically innovative for its time, which probably explains some of the more virulent criticism it received, but even though those innovations now sound completely normal to our ears, they are still at the heart of what makes this symphony so profoundly satisfying to listen to. Ahead of my performances of the symphony in Lille this December, I wanted to dive in and explore this unfairly ignored masterpiece. In about 40 minutes of music in three grand movements, Franck pours his soul into this work. That phrase sounds a bit cliché, I know, but I really mean it; there is an earnestness about this music that I find deeply moving, and it is something we will explore together today. We will talk about Franck's late entry into the world of composition, his reputation as an organist, and the challenges he faced in finding acceptance as a composer. Along the way, we will discuss this gorgeous piece in all of its passion and intensity. Join us!

We'll ask you to answer two questions: 1. What's a word or phrase that only someone from your profession would be likely to know and what does it mean? 2. What's a specific story you tell your friends that happened on the job? It could be funny, sad, anxiety-making, pride-inducing or otherwise. We can't respond to every message, but we do listen to all of them! We'll follow up if it's a good fit.

In this episode, I sit down with Jonathan Mahler, author of The Gods of New York, to explore the four years that transformed America's greatest city—and foretold the divisions that would come to define the nation.From Wall Street's boom to the crack epidemic, from Howard Beach to the Central Park jogger case, from ACT UP to Spike Lee, the New York of 1986–1989 was a city teeming with conflict, creativity, and change. Mahler paints a vivid portrait of a metropolis at war with itself: between greed and grit, privilege and poverty, rebirth and decay.Together, we discuss how this pivotal era gave rise to figures like Donald Trump, Al Sharpton, Ed Koch, and Rudy Giuliani—and why the battles of 1980s New York still echo in today's America.Support the show

Mahler walks us through The Gods of New York: Egotists, Idealists, Opportunists, and the Birth of the Modern City, 1986–1990—how a late-'80s crucible of crime, crack, and tabloids minted characters like Spike Lee ("the coolest guy in America"), Al Sharpton, Donald Trump, Ed Koch, and Rudy Giuliani. We revisit Howard Beach, Yusuf Hawkins, Do the Right Thing, and the media ecosystem that turned norm-breaking into power, alongside the policy tradeoffs (SROs, development, homelessness) that still echo today. It's a brisk tour of the years when New York became the prototype for how America lives now. Plus: how to read diplomatic reporting—and why Hamas yielded when its only real leverage was other people's bodies.
