Podcast appearances and mentions of Mark Brewer

Esta semana, en una nueva sesión de Rebelión Sónica, los invitamos a escuchar material del disco "The Music of Anthony Braxton" del destacado saxofonista estadounidense, Steve Lehman. El álbum, que celebra los 80 años del legendario e influyente compositor, vientista, pianista y filósofo Anthony Braxton, fue editado el 28 de febrero por el sello Pi Recordings. Grabado en Los Ángeles, junto a su trío integrado por él en saxo alto, Mark Brewer en bajo y Damion Reid en batería, además del invitado especial Mark Turner en saxo tenor, Lehman rinde homenaje a uno de sus primeros mentores, con un álbum en vivo de “swing duro”, que conmemora el 80 aniversario del nacimiento del influyente vientista Anthony Braxton. Lehman estuvo en el grupo de gira de Braxton de 1999 a 2007, actuando en festivales internacionales y apareciendo en una serie de grabaciones, incluido un tributo a la música de Andrew Hill, “Nine Compositions (Hill)” (2000). "Desde el principio, supe que quería conectar la música de Anthony con nuevas audiencias y defender la música de su pequeño grupo como una parte realmente indispensable del canon del jazz”, señaló Lehman sobre este nuevo disco. “Entonces, eso significó ser realmente exigente con el repertorio y hacer un esfuerzo consciente para trabajar con músicos fuera de la órbita de Braxton que pudieran aportar nuevas perspectivas a la música”. Según el sello, Lehman eligió composiciones intrincadas, pegadizas y únicas para grupos pequeños de Braxton que grabó originalmente en las décadas de 1970 y 1980 con músicos como Ed Blackwell, Dave Holland y Kenny Wheeler, entre otros, en álbumes como “Fall” (1974) y “Six Compositions: Quartet” (1981). Al final del programa, viajamos al pasado en el catálogo de Lehman y su trío, para escuchar música de su colaboración con el pianista Craig Taborn, “The People I Love”. Según Pi Recordings, el título del disco “fue tomado por Lehman de unas palabras que entregó el ahora fallecido vibrafonista Bobby Hutcherson en una entrevista de 2010: “Cuando era más joven, pensaba que la música era lo primero. Y ahora que he envejecido, me doy cuenta de que toda esa música, no es más que el reflejo de las imágenes de las personas que amo y de la presencia Dios”. Rebelión Sónica se transmite por radio Rockaxis los jueves a las 10 y 22 horas, con la conducción de Héctor Aravena.

David Horsey - Seattle Times The Musk coup is moving forward with minimal signs of effective opposition. Congressional Republicans are rolling over complacently while the Musk teenage Ninjas storm federal offices, and Democrats do little other than scream. A lot of federal employees deemed insufficiently loyal to the Mar-a-Lago golf pro are being fired, laid off or encouraged to quit … meaning literally millions of hours of professional expertise will be lost, replaced by True Believers. In Michigan, the race for the U.S. Senate is beginning to take form in both parties. We take a deep dive into the likely primary contests. Joining the discussion with an update on the turmoil in the state Legislature is veteran Michigan politics and state government reporter Lauren Gibbons from Bridge Michigan. Prior to joining Bridge's Capitol team, she worked at MLive, where she led coverage of the state Legislature and the redistricting process, and before that covered the state Senate for MIRS News. She has covered the ins and outs of Michigan politics for nearly a decade and has won awards both for her political coverage and her work documenting the Larry Nassar sexual abuse case. Lauren grew up in the Lansing area and graduated from Michigan State University, majoring in journalism and history. She lives in Ferndale, and her party tricks include Irish dancing and telling friends what political districts they live in without looking. She is also an expert on music that highlights Michigan! The first major partisan battle with the new split-control Legislature is underway, with the Senate majority leader suing the Speaker of the House. We begin this week's pod exploring that lawsuit with Majority Leader Winnie Brink's lead attorney in the case: the honorable Mr. Mark Brewer! =========================== This episode is sponsored in part by EPIC ▪ MRA, a full service survey research firm with expertise in • Public Opinion Surveys • Market Research Studies • Live Telephone Surveys • On-Line and Automated Surveys • Focus Group Research • Bond Proposals - Millage Campaigns • Political Campaigns & Consulting • Ballot Proposals - Issue Advocacy Research • Community - Media Relations • Issue - Image Management • Database Development & List Management Joel Heller:Hellertoon.com

Still another week like no other: the previous guy napping at his own criminal trial, the current guy seeing his polling numbers nudge upwards with an economy that the Wall Street Journal calls "The Envy of the World", and a stunning tipping point in a major Michigan political scandal: Attorney General Nessel stuns Lansing with criminal indictments of former House Speaker Lee Chatfield and his wife. We'll talk with outspoken campaign finance reform advocate Bob LaBrant. Democrats, as expected, win the 2 special elections to fill state House vacancies, restoring the Dem's trifecta control of state government. More campaign finance shenanigans, with our Mark Brewer hot on the trail of the malefactors. In national political news – Sleepy Donald Trump's social media company's stock matches his New York trial energy level: sinking fast.  Joe Biden continues to gain ground in national polling as he campaigns while Trump fumes in court. The U.S. economy is, in the words of a Wall Street Journal Headline, “the envy of the world” … but that's not registering with American voters. Crime in the U.S. is dropping … but that's not registering with voters either. Our focus is the story of the week (and maybe the year) in Michigan: a 13-count indictment of former House Speaker Lee Chatfield.

For his 2017 PhD, John Hunter put forward a hypothesis that offers insights into both the “transformational” experiences associated with large group awareness training (LGAT) participation and the common claims of psychological harm and problematic behaviour associated with participation. Dr Hunter presented his work at the 2023 International Cultic Studies Association conference, and for this episode, he breaks down some of his findings – including where LGATs may or may not intersect with cults and cult-like behaviour.Full episode page here.

Elections attorney Mark Brewer and retired political action executive Bob LaBrant take a look at ongoing headlines surrounding Michigan's independent redistricting commission. After 13 legislative districts were ruled as racially gerrymandered, does the commission need to tidy up its operations? Also, can the districts be redrawn without impacting others?     William Lawrence, coordinator of the 'Rent is Too Damn High' coalition in Michigan, calls for the state to address both tenant rights and housing supply needs at the same time.  Additionally, Policy Director Jennifer Peacock of the Michigan Center for Youth Justice explains how for most of 2024, local governments will be preparing for multiple changes to the state's juvenile justice system, which she says aims to prevent an "over reliance on detention" following youths' offenses.

Christmas comes early for the now-departed Michigan Legislature, but only after an unprecedented year of major legislation. Ho ho ho! The Legislature is taking an early (and extended) holiday break. With two House members set to resign after being elected Mayors of their hometowns, Democrats and Republicans have a 54-54 split in the state House, meaning an end (for now) of Democrats' state government trifecta. Adding to their early holiday joy, good tidings from Republicans in the form of guaranteed messy and expensive Republican primary for the U.S. Senate as Peter Meijer joins the field, along with more news of internal turmoil for the Michigan Republican Party. Ethics (or a lack of same) make headlines this week. In Washington, Republicans in the Senate make it clear they have no interest in the apparent long-term corruption of Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, but Republicans in the House are focused on what is, to now, an evidence-free drive to impeach Joe Biden. In Michigan, a watered-down financial disclosure package clears the state House in a late-night marathon session and is on its way to Governor Whitmer for signing.  Also this week:  Mark Brewer updates us on the legal efforts (in which he is a lead attorney) to keep Insurrection Master Strategist Donald Trump off the Michigan ballot. The U.S. House votes to censure Michigan congresswoman Rashida Tlaib which could well help her in her reelection bid next year. Right to Life is suing to overturn Michigan's newly approved constitutional amendment guaranteeing women's reproductive healthcare options Legal arguments have concluded in a federal trial over whether Michigan's Independent Citizens Redistricting Commission violated the Voting Rights Act in drawing Michigan's legislative maps.  We're joined in the podcast by Bridge Michigan reporter Lauren Gibbons who has been covering all the legislative action in Lansing, as well as the federal court case on redistricting. Lauren covers state politics and policy for Bridge Michigan. Prior to joining Bridge's Capitol team, she worked at MLive, where she led coverage of the state Legislature and the redistricting process, and before that covered the state Senate for MIRS News. She has covered the ins and outs of Michigan politics for nearly a decade and has won awards both for her political coverage and her work documenting the Larry Nassar sexual abuse case.

A group of Michigan voters filed a complaint alleging that former President Donald Trump should be prohibited from being on the Michigan ballot. What disqualifies candidates from being on a ballot? Mark Brewer, an attorney, joined Stephen to discuss why he believes Trump violated the U.S. Constitution. Professor David Orentlicher discusses his concerns with preventing Trump from being on the ballot. And Professor Richard Broughton lends his constitutional insights to the case.

Brush off your space boots and warm up your vocal cords as we welcome back the ever-entertaining Mark Brewer for his guest spot on our All-Exclusive Podcast. We kick things off in typical fashion, reminiscing about past injuries, and diving headfirst into the hilarity that ensued when Mark questioned MJ's knowledge of the song 'Bubbles' during our demo day. But it's not all fun and games when Mark steps into the podcasting arena; his astute insights and unique flair add spice to every conversation.Ever wondered if songs referencing the moon could be considered a genre? Well, we take this tantalizing question to task with Mark and Henry as they explore classic tracks sporting lunar lyrical content. We travel from the misty banks of 'Moon River' to the silvery glow of 'Blue Moon', pondering Mark's ambitious plan to weave these moonlit melodies into a singular album. But hold onto your hats as we veer off into the realm of moon landing conspiracy theories and the wonders of Google Earth. And for those feeling a bit earthbound, we share our cringe-worthy public bathroom tales and advice for handling dating disappointments.As we rocket back down to Earth, we delve into the world of coins and musical theatre. We turn over the Royal Mint's new coin designs, and speculate about their potential for teaching kids to count. Not to be outdone, our theatrical exploits take center stage as we share our reviews of a recent show featuring the legendary talents of Bernadette Peters and Bonnie Langford. Wrapping up this wild ride, we touch on fitness regimes, surprise awards, and even a dash of bandit golf. It's official: Henry's the new 'moon song curator', so buckle up and enjoy this whirlwind journey through laughter, wisdom, and the utterly unexpected.Support the show

August 22, 2023 ~ Mark Brewer, attorney representing the House Democrats facing recall, talks with Kevin and Tom about how the Board of State Canvassers approved one recall petition against a sitting House Democrat, and rejected another five.

This has been a very very very very very bad week for Donald Trump … and Matt DePerno … and former Representative Daire Rendon … and the Michigan Republican Party.  Spoiler alert: it's another week of our true-crime podcast. But for six state House Democrats who were targeted for recall It was a pretty good week with the state Board of Canvassers rejecting the proposed recall petitions (all of them ably represented by their lawyer, Mark Brewer!) The podcast was recorded minutes after Donald 'Jail-Adverse" Trump was arraigned for the third time this year on felony criminal charges. Joining the conversation as we mark a truly momentous moment in U.S. political history is longtime Trump critic Rick Wilson. A former member of the Republican Party, Rick has produced televised political commercials for governors, U.S. Senate candidates, Super PACs, and corporations. He left the Republican Party following the 2016 United States presidential election, and in late 2019 went on to co-found The Lincoln Project. In 2018, Rick released his first book, Everything Trump Touches Dies, in which he laments the re-alignment of the Republican Party behind Trump. The book reached number one on the New York Times nonfiction bestseller list. Wilson's second book, Running Against the Devil: A Plot to Save America from Trump – and Democrats from Themselves, was published in January 2020. He now hosts the podcast “Rick Wilson's The Enemies List.” =========================== This week's podcast is underwritten in part by EPIC-MRAEPIC ▪ MRA is a full service survey research firm with expertise in: • Public Opinion Surveys • Market Research Studies • Live Telephone Surveys • On-Line and Automated Surveys • Focus Group Research • Bond Proposals - Millage Campaigns • Political Campaigns & Consulting • Ballot Proposals - Issue Advocacy Research • Community - Media Relations • Issue - Image Management • Database Development & List Management ===========================

Mark Brewer (WB, Archie Comics, Disney) has been inking for a living since a young age. We covered his background and growth when I first interviewed him back in 2020. Today, we catch up to see what he's been up to, how his hunger for knowledge led him into teaching… and how that made him an even better artist (and human).

There are a lot of problems in the world right now and not all of them can be solved by money. But there are certain problems that have a much better chance of being solved if philanthropic activities became a bit more focused. From poverty to homelessness to hunger, there are problems that are often overlooked. We have Mark with us to talk about the current philanthropic changes happening around the globe. About Mark Brewer He is the CEO of the Central Florida Foundation. He has done journalism at Arizona State University. He worked for 10 years in the profit sector before getting into the nonprofit sector. He is very passionate about philanthropic issues. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/tbcy/support

The Michigan Legislature's 2023 session has officially started. Democrats, now controlling both chambers for the first time in 40 years, have already introduced a raft of high-priority bills. And the 2024 game of political musical chairs is underway. We update the race to succeed Debbie Stabenow in the Senate, and the likely domino effect of that race on Michigan's congressional delegation. Walt Sorg sits in for Mark Brewer who is on vacation. Walt and Jeff decided that makes it a good time to talk about Mark behind his back ... specifically about how Mark was one of the behind-the-scenes heroes of the 2022 midterm election.

Lame ducks, federal subpoenas re: Michigan's 2020 election, a Supreme Court hearing on ending democratic elections, another court hearing on the lawyers who pushed the BIg Lie in Michigan, a bizarre farewell speech from the top Republican in state government, and a new wrinkle in the Democratic Party's plans to shift the presidential primary schedule - a shift that could mean even better news for Michigan. And for the last few days Mark has been in the middle of some of some won't-change-anything recounts … which are really an effort to shore up the BIg Lie conspiracy theories from 2020.

Delighted to get Mark on the show, he's a great guy, a friend and I was lucky enough to train with him for a couple of years many many years ago!Mark reflects on his judo journey, leaving home in New Zealand at 17 to travel and train in Japan and then Europe. He discusses how he coped with injuries and finding work that he could train around, and finally culminating in the Glasgow Commonwealth Games.

Roe v. Wade, 410 U.S. 113, was a landmark decision of the U.S. Supreme Court in which the Court ruled that the Constitution of the United States protects a pregnant woman's liberty to choose to have an abortion without excessive government restriction. The law threatens abortion providers with prison time, according to the American Civil Liberties Union of Michigan, which -- along with attorneys Deborah LaBelle and Mark Brewer, as well as Planned Parenthood Federation of America -- is representing Planned Parenthood of Michigan in a separate suit challenging the law. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

How many people do you know who would: - Fly across the Pacific Ocean to train against Olympians in Europe, aged 17? - Work overnight security shifts, to earn money to fight during the day? - Do 1000 pushups as punishment for being late to training, because the bumper of their car kept falling off on the drive there? I only know one, and his name is Mark Brewer.  Hailing from the tiny town of Motueka, Mark chased his dreams in competition around the world training with the best of the best in places like Germany and Uzbekistan.
