Podcast appearances and mentions of Martha Johnson

Martha and the Muffins is a Canadian new wave band formed in Toronto in 1977. Known for their eclectic sound that blends post-punk, art rock, and new wave influences, the band achieved international success with their hit single "Echo Beach" in 1980. Martha and the Muffins was formed by two art students, Martha Johnson and Mark Gane, at the Ontario College of Art. They were soon joined by David Millar, Carl Finkle, Mark Gane's brother Tim Gane, and Martha Ladly. The band name was chosen as a playful jab at the plethora of "The Something-something" band names at the time. The group quickly became a staple in the Toronto music scene, known for their quirky and innovative performances. Their unique sound combined elements of punk, rock, and electronic music, setting them apart from their contemporaries. In 1979, Martha and the Muffins signed with the British label Dindisc, a subsidiary of Virgin Records. Their debut album, "Metro Music," was released in 1980 and included the single "Echo Beach." The song became an international hit, reaching the top 10 in Canada, the UK, and several other countries. Its catchy melody and wistful lyrics captured the imagination of a generation and remain iconic to this day. The success of "Echo Beach" propelled the band into the spotlight. However, they faced challenges in maintaining their momentum. Their second album, "Trance and Dance" (1980), and third album, "This is the Ice Age" (1981), saw significant lineup changes. In 1982, the band released "Danseparc," another collaboration with new member, Daniel Lanois. The album further showcased their willingness to experiment with different sounds and production techniques. By the mid-1980s, Martha and the Muffins underwent a significant transformation, with Mark Gane and Martha Johnson remaining the core members. They released "Mystery Walk" in 1984, which included the Canadian hit "Black Stations/White Stations," a song that tackled issues of racial segregation in the music industry. Following the release of their 1985 album "The World is a Ball," Martha and the Muffins took a hiatus. During this period, Johnson and Gane focused on solo projects and other collaborations. Johnson released a solo album, "Solo One," in 1997, while Gane worked on various production and music projects. In the early 1990s, Martha and the Muffins reformed, primarily as a duo consisting of Johnson and Gane. They released "Modern Lullaby" in 1992, which was well-received by critics but did not achieve significant commercial success. After another extended hiatus, the band re-emerged in 2010 with the album "Delicate," which marked a return to their roots while incorporating modern influences. This period also saw renewed interest in their earlier work, with reissues and retrospective collections. Martha Johnson was diagnosed with Parkinson's Disease in 2001. She has been open about her battle and has faced significant challenges due to the progressive nature of the disease. Martha's diagnosis came after she began experiencing symptoms that interfered with her ability to perform and record music. The diagnosis was a significant moment for her, marking the beginning of a long journey to manage the condition while continuing her career in music. Despite the challenges, Martha has shown remarkable resilience. She has become an advocate for Parkinson's disease awareness, using her platform to educate others about the condition. Her advocacy includes speaking engagements and participating in events aimed at raising funds for research and support for those affected by the disease. She has not let Parkinson's disease define her or halt her creativity. Martha continues to be involved in music and is an inspiration to many. Martha has just released a new single to enhance awareness of PD and this week shares her personal reflections on music and living with Parkinson's disease. Her story is one of courage, persistence, and the power of music to transcend personal hardships.

In episode 138 of the Lecture Breakers podcast, I'm so excited to welcome Martha Johnson to the show! Martha is a nurse educator and founder of BreakoutRN where she supports other nurse educators in creating successful active learning experiences. She has created unfolding case studies in the form of card decks and interactive classroom kits to help students develop clinical judgment and critical thinking skills. Now, even if you don't teach nursing education, I know you'll still enjoy Martha's inspiring story about moving from the 3-hour lecture model to breaking up her lectures and how that whole experience helped her launch a business that offers products and resources for other educators. I'm so inspired by her story and impressed with her creativity, and I can't wait to share this story with you. Get the show notes: https://barbihoneycutt.com/LB138

The COVID-19 situation remains the biggest issue facing Australia's early education sector. Although the Government is saying that early education services should remain open to support the economy, children are leaving services in droves. It seems likely that at some point services will be directed to close. What does this mean for young children and their learning? What does “remote learning” look like in the early years? How can we stay connected to children and families during a period of isolation? To help us discuss these questions, we're joined by Jo Grimmond and Martha Johnson from the University of Wollongong's Early Start team. Find the full shownotes at earlyeducationshow.com.

In this episode, researcher Martha Johnson explores her studies with the Australian aboriginal people and how studying science draws us closer, not further, from God.
