David Waldman soothes our post-Friday-the-13th jitters with his elixir of useful information. Greg Dworkin is also here with the pundits and polls, though not just any poles, but Pole polls. Opposition leader Donald Tusk... no, you read that right, Donald Tusk has declared victory in Poland, which is a defeat for Law and Justice, but a victory for the Gay Empire, women, and most everybody else. The Hamas attacks on Israel might finally, finally, finally shake Bibi Netanyahu's authoritarian rule. OG presidential nitwit George W. Bush has some advice on how to handle the Middle East. House Republicans remain ruptured. If anyone were hoping to destroy the country, picking Jim Jordan for House Speaker would be the no-brainer choice, perhaps the most no-brainer choice. Gym's got Sean Hannity's vote, but pretty much no one else would be happy if he got in. That's why Jordan's campaign has apparently decided that “happy” votes would not be prioritized. George Santos ran through a House office screaming, clutching a baby that he claimed wasn't his “yet”. Scott Waldman (No, David is not my father… yet.) reports that West Virgina Governor Jim Justice's coal baron side hustle just isn't what it used to be. Of course, Jim's goofy finances won't hinder his political career, according to Mark Blankenship, who isn't the son of Mike Lindell Doppelgänger Don Blankenship... maybe. Mike “The Pillow” Lindell is also broke, but not as broke as Peter Navarro. U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan has told Donald Trump to stuff a pillow in it. Ex-Trump Org. Allen Weisselberg got really quiet after Forbes Magazine reported on his perjury. Plenty of damning evidence, but no charges for the Border Patrol agents who shot and killed a Native American man outside his home.

Dave had collected several different Game Times about the intersection of stage and TV stardom, so what could he do but save them for our most theatre-knowledgeable friends to play in this special episode?

Primetimer's Mark Blankenship returns to his eponymous chair to talk about Dear Edward, an adaptation of a 2020 book that most of the panel found manipulative and stilted -- but others thought was moving and sweet. Does the show's success depend on what mood you're in when you sit down to watch? Why can't writers' rooms get middle-grade children's dialogue right? And how's Connie Britton's hair? After addressing these critical questions, we went Around The Dial with Not Dead Yet, Ghosts, and Buntsy's Cheers and Frasierrewatches. We took a quick break from the extended Crane-verse to hear Tomke out on why Bake Off hosts have lost their authority; then Sarah hoped to send the eighth season of Cheers out on a high note with her Canon presentation of the finale. Triplets won, TV news lost, and a Non-Regulation Game Time. Return your eye tables to the up-rolled position: it's an all-new Extra Hot Great! GUESTS
Dan talks to Mark Blankenship, Director of Risk Management for WTW A&E, about the results of a recent WTW A&E industry survey of Senior Claim Managers from 12 leading A&E professional liability insurance carriers on emerging risk and claim trends in the design profession.

In addition to a review of the results to a number of specific questions from this survey, Dan and Mark offer important advice and insights on what firms should be considering in order to reduce their exposures to costly claims and client disputes.

Architects and Engineers take on considerable risks which can vary significantly based on project types, disciplines, client types and delivery methods. In this episode, Dan sits down with Mark Blankenship, Senior Underwriter for Liberty International, to discuss the underwriting process and how insurance carriers assess, underwrite and price A&E professional liability risk. Dan and Mark lay out what you can do to “tell your story” to ensure you get the very best PL pricing and terms.
Welcome to MASTADQ: Mark And Sarah Talk About Dennis Quaid! Mark Blankenship slid into the guest chair (not a euphemism) to discuss Far From Heaven, the line between melodrama and tragedy, and how Todd Haynes's 2002 homage to Douglas Sirk and "women's pictures" lets the paintings that are Cathy and Frank Whitaker become real.

Hello, Yellow Brick Road! Did this episode go breaking our hearts, or did it…rock our crocodiles? Okay, that got very tortured very quickly. We know you lead elaborate lives so we won't keep you in suspense: we didn't really feel the love tonight for this episode, which was both a surprise and a bummer because we, like the Muppets, are fans of Sir Elton John! Sorry (seems the be the hardest word), Elton! I guess that's why they call it the blues. But we would never let the sun go down on our very special guest stars, Mark Blankenship and Sarah D. Bunting, who took time out of their busy schedule talking about songs with each other to talk about songs and puppets with us! https://muppeturgy.com/elton-john

Mark Blankenship discussed the first season of Surviving R. Kelly on the podcast, and kindly returned to unpack the second season. Is the additional testimony, and our bearing witness, the point? Could a different organizational strategy have made Part 2 more effective? And what drives the people who take to the streets with signs to defend Kelly and his ilk? Later, we talked about singer-songwriter Allison Moorer's memoir of her parents' tragic deaths, Blood: A Memoir. Mark read the book and I listened to it, and these contrasting experiences of the text led to a conversation about the spaces in narrative, whether sometimes physical text is more "musical" than when it's spoken, and how to write yourself as a child. [Content warning: this episode addresses child sexual abuse, domestic violence, and suicide. Please listen with care.] SHOW NOTES Surviving R.

Mark Blankenship returns to discuss TWO eminently English scandals from the middle of the last century. Mark brought Amazon's three-part take on the Jeremy Thorpe "business," A Very English Scandal, up for discussion, and we contemplated -- as Toby and I did last week -- how outlawing human behavior turns a whole bunch of humans into criminals, and creates more problems than it solves. We also wondered what English class-division issues we might have missed as Yanks, talked about the gorgeously subtle performances in the series, and giggled at the nicknames of the posh set ("Boofy"!). Later, we talked about a documentary show from 1989 that covered not just the Profumo affair but the 1989 film about it, Scandal, that created a couple scandals of its own. What exactly was the crime there? Because we have a feeling it's more how people talked about Christine Keeler than any kind of felonious infidelity or Cold-War honey-trapping. It's a veddy veddy veddy good day to play croquet in four-inch pumps on The Blotter Presents, Episode 084.

Mark Blankenship on Lifetime's wrenching, but imperfect, Surviving R. Kelly: the power of the first four episodes, and the weirdness of the last two; the "tradition" of fetishizing teenage girls in rock music; the voices we heard for the first time, and the ones we still haven't heard; and whose time is up next. Then we move on to a vintage Behind The Music that's both very typical of VH1's legendary pop-gossip video mag, and delightfully off-brand, as it follows narrator Jim Forbes out of the audio bay, on camera, and into prison for a profoundly impatient interview with the murderer of Selena Quintanilla-Perez. Terrible brothers, awful fan-club presidents, and much more in the latest episode of The Blotter Presents. Support the pod/site on Patreon! SHOW NOTES Surviving R.

In one of Law & Order's most powerful episodes, a mentally handicapped girl is raped by her classmates. McCoy must fight the judge who sets aside the jury's verdict because the disabled sexual assault victim "had the time of her life." The result is a reflection on the meaning of dignity and acceptance. Meantime, Lenny's daughter pays the ultimate price for testifying against a drug dealer. We talk about L&O season 8 episode 22 "Damaged" with Mark Blankenship of the Mark and Sarah Talk About Songs podcast. Note: the original episode and our commentary use the words "retard" and "retarded," as use of both words are relevant plot points in the episode.

We're talking about another Joe Berlinger project, and we're talking with Mark Blankenship again about it: Cold Blooded: The Clutter Family Murders, an investigation of the murders that made, and perhaps broke, our first non-fiction novelist, and rippled through a family and a town. Later, we discuss a Mugshots episode on Robert Blake, who starred in In Cold Blood. Did he kill his wife, con artist Bonny Bakley? What is going on with his erstwhile roomie John Solari? And why have we never heard of the show before? Many questions, a couple of answers in the latest The Blotter Presents.

Sarah wanted to talk about a Liz Phair song, and then it became FOUR Liz Phair songs.

Very special guest Mark Blankenship returns to his eponymous chair as we discuss HBO's newest shows -- "gay Girls" Looking and cop-show/acting master class True Detective. We talked about which bonkers V.C. Andrews project might complete Lifetime's movie trifecta; considered a reality-show classic for the Canon; whizzed Around The Dial with ratings dips and sweet 'staches; and tested our TV-chronology IQs in a super-close Game Time. Dramaturgically speaking, it's an exceptional episode of Extra Hot Great! GUESTS

We're back! And so is valued guest Mark Blankenship, who from the Blankenship Chair steers us into a discussion of what makes a great (or good enough) TV procedural. From there, Tara insisted that she's not a crackpot for wanting fewer TV-streaming options, the Cold Case theme and American Horror Story's Axe Man may have been deemed Worse Than Jazz, we asked whether Dave would hate upcoming archaeological thriller Dig, and Mark proposed a classic Briscoe-era Law & Order: Mothership (the Lauren Ambrose one) (no, the other one) (…the other other one) for the Canon. After talking Winner and Loser, we played a nail-biter of a Game Time, in super-maxi-sized Extra Hot Great that means we're thankful…for you. GUESTS
