What happened in LA last month? On that, basically everyone agrees: devastating wildfires that killed at least 29 people and cost at least $100 billion.But why did those fires burn so intensely for so long? I had my own view, but I don't follow fires closely. So I talked to Matt Weiner, CEO and founder of Megafire Action.We discuss:* California knows it has a fire problem. Why can't it control it?* Where does mechanical thinning work, and where doesn't it?* What tools from the Department of Defense should we be using in firefighting?* Do we need more money to fight fires?* Why do the country's biggest environmental groups oppose fire mitigation?For the full transcript of this conversation and others, visit www.statecraft.pub.

We bring on a panel of practitioners to discuss what's behind these megafires, and how we can work to mitigate the crisis.

For many bariatric patients, learning how and what to eat after surgery is one of our largest struggles. We might have known how to eat a certain number of calories, but most of the time, those calories did not align with our goals. Learning how, why, and what to eat is our first struggle and one that often lasts quite some time. In this episode, we sat down with Dr. Matt. Weiner, a bariatric surgeon, and author from Tucson, Arizona, to talk about bariatric eating before and after surgery. He has developed his own bariatric eating protocol called a Pound of Cure, and we wanted to know what it is all about. He is also a strong advocate for weight loss medication being used as a part of a patient's treatment plan, and we wanted to know more about this emerging facet of obestiy treatment. We are so excited to introduce you to Dr. Matt Weiner! Follow him on Instagram @drmattweiner and find him online at www.poundofcureweightloss.com. A huge thank you to Dr. Weiner for joining us for this important and engaging conversation! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/barination/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/barination/support

Among those of us who watch cable television, everyone’s favorite copywriter bad boy is Don Draper of the show ‘Mad Men.’ Along with his secretary who became a copywriter, Peggy Olson, Don Draper is the reason this is the first edition of the Fictional Old Masters Series. Yes, they are fictional characters. But a lot of factual research went into creating these characters, And I was able to pluck out a few gems from the hours and hours of dialogue they spoke on the show. My goal today is to make this useful as well as maybe a little entertaining. So to talk about ‘Mad Men,’ we really have to begin with Matt Weiner. The show was his brainchild. Now Weiner was not an ad man, much less a Mad Man. In fact, he was a cable TV drama writer. He wrote the pilot for ‘Mad Men,’ on spec, in 1999. David Chase, who was doing ‘The Sopranos’ for HBO at the time, was so impressed with the script that he hired Weiner to write and executive produce that show. Weiner joined ‘The Sopranos’ team and had a lot of success. Eight years later, in 2007, Weiner got his show with ‘Mad Men.’ The first episode launched six weeks after the last episode of ‘The Sopranos,’ but on a different cable network, AMC. ‘Mad Men’ won tons of awards, and continued to 2015. I bring up all this history because it leads to an important question: Consider it was fiction, how authentic was Mad Men, compared to real Madison Avenue advertising? To answer that question, let’s turn to the acclaimed high-drama film producer Alfred Hitchcock. Weiner has said that Hitchcock was a major influence on him. And Hitchcock was a much stronger believer in facts that most people would expect. In the 1967 book ‘Hitchcock/Truffaut,’ Hitchcock muses, “What is drama, after all, but life with the dull bits cut out.” So he was pretty much saying drama should be close to real life. But not like real life, because drama should never be boring. And Weiner seems to have adopted that attitude. The scenes from ‘Mad Men’ were artistically enhanced, for sure, but they weren’t from a different universe than the one we live in. Weiner did a lot of research, and he acknowledged in interviews that the character Don Draper was based in part on the famous Chicago copywriter Draper Daniels. Here’s something Draper Daniels wrote: NOW… AT LAST… THE NEW AMAZING Gem of genius slowly blazing. The one man who, without a doubt Knows what this business is about. The man who screams, when words are changed, That all the changers are deranged. Still, were he quieter or politer, He wouldn’t be a copywriter. So, finally, before we dive into the takeaways, let me introduce you to our two Fictional Old Masters. Don Draper begins the show as a creative director and junior partner of a Madison Avenue ad agency in New York. He’s a hard drinker and a chain smoker. He has some deep secrets in his past and he has a lot of sex partners besides his wife. Not what you would call a boy scout, back in the day. He was also what we call a genius copywriter. He had an uncanny knack for coming up with really good advertising ideas. We’ll be focusing more on his copywriter chops and less on his lifestyle. Peggy Olson started out as Draper’s secretary and moved up to becoming a copywriter, where she got her own office with a door that closed. It may sound trite now. But I worked in a big Rockefeller Center building in New York very close to the fictional Mad Men office, and I had an office with a door that closed. Some of the other writers I worked with didn’t. Not only was it status, but it made a huge difference when you needed to concentrate and write something. Draper was always pushing Peggy to be better. For as broken a man as he was, in that era, his behavior would be called “supportive,” at times. When he switched agencies, he asked her to go with him. In her character in the show, you can see how difficult it was for women at the time, but even so, how it was possible to grow and succeed. In the show, we then proceed to the five takeaways.Download.

In this episode, guest Matt Weiner walks Creative Director Pete Brown through the HQ trivia app that has surged to recent popularity, and the odd love/hate relationship it has with its users.

Ooh boy. Studio 60 really goes for the gusto here, as Aaron Sorkin creates a punching bag to let his enlighted characters sound off on the absolutely ludicrous idea that a woman working in the comedy industry might be the victim of sexual harassment. I mean, can you imagine? We hold our noses through "4 AM Miracle," "The Disaster Show," and "Breaking News," and marvel at how little self-awareness this show has. Then, speaking of gross, it's time to talk about Matt Weiner, as the recent allegations make "For Immediate Release" unpleasant to sit through.

Finally: Star Trek: The Next Generation finishes its growing pains (by tossing out Gene Roddenberry and most of the writers) and arrives at the era that made it the classic series it is. We talk about "Evolution," "The Ensigns of Command," and "The Survivors," and the uptick in quality is immediately noticeable. Then, we talk about Mad Men, with the episode "The Flood." (We recorded this before recent allegations against Matt Weiner, so they aren't addressed here, if you're wondering.)

In this Three Things episode of the Mindset Digital Podcast, Pete Brown recruits Jen Michaels, Mike Taylor and Matt Weiner to help catch him up on what’s happening in the digital world. From artificial intelligence to UPS dogs to Amazon Key and something called Zeef, tune into this week’s episode. Plus, we make our first Harambe joke in at least six months.

Today we quietly ignore our bad internet connection in order tackle a major point of contention in our friendship: Kirstie doesn't watch cable but Kelsey does! So spicy. In this episode, Kirstie fails to argue anything better than "I'm cheap" and Kelsey fails to argue anything better than "I like cable". Then, we celebrate the announcement of Matt Weiner/Weiner's live action Anastasia reboot by revisiting the 1997 animated classic (and Kirstie spends the whole segment misstating the year very confidently). We discuss ball gowns, our One True Dimitri, and our gratitude that this film has returned to Netflix.

Mad Men is a delightful look into 1960's New York life, using the crazy world of advertising as the perfect backdrop to this drama. At the center is the enigmatic and charming Don Draper, the genius ad man (or madman) at the Sterling-Cooper agency. Created by Matt Weiner, who used this script he wrote in 1999 to get a job with David Chase on the Sopranos, Mad Men is known for being authentic and real without being too over the top. The clothes, the brands, even the weather were meticulously researched and many historical events made their way into the seven seasons of this very popular show. It would almost impossible to believe anyone else in the Don Draper role aside from Jon Hamm. While a few auditioned for the role, it was fortunate for Jon Hamm as he had a streak of bad luck being cast into shows that never got picked up. In this episode we cover some of the other trivia on who auditioned for which roles, and as usual we note some of the changes from script to screen.

Lee Daniels' The Danny Strong is out in theaters. I mean Lee Daniels' The Butler is out in theater and Emmy-winning screenwriter and actor Danny Strong penned the script. In our interview, Strong says he can now choose his acting jobs, because he earns his living writing screenplays. However, he booked on camera roles from the minute he started auditioning and his success begot more success. His performance on Buffy led to a role on Gilmore Girls. He later met Matt Weiner on the "Emmy circuit," and Weiner hired Danny for Mad Men. Sure, Strong says he had to audition, but that's only so actor Samm Levine didn't get huffy. Enjoy our interview. There will be a part 2 live taping at 8 pm, Wednesday September 18th at The Bell House in Brooklyn. Do NOT miss the chance to meet and hear more from Mr. Strong, up close and personal. (Please note Mr. Strong did not appear in or pen the film Up Close and Personal.) For tickets, go to www.employeeofthemonthshow.com

Dante would have you believe that there are 9 circles of hell.  With the help of Matt Weiner however, Jim and A.Ron have uncovered a 10th, even more heinous circle known as the two-and-a-half-hour podcast.  There’s plenty of discussion about Roger’s couch sessions, the cyclical nature of Don’s life and Stan’s glorious new beard.

This week we are wrapping up our interview with double bass virtuoso François Rabbath. You can hear the previous sections of this interview on episode 16 and episode 22 of the podcast. We will also be featuring in interesting new twist in Contrabass Conversations interviews today—the Lyric Opera’s Andy Anderson (a regular collaborator on the podcast) will be discussing one piece in depth and offering practice advice and tips. This week we will be discussing the first movement of Mozart’s Symphony No. 40, which we will be doing after the conclusion of our Rabbath interview. Today we will also be hearing tracks from “At the Uke Shack #1?, featuring Seattle bassist Matt Weiner as well as Del Rey on ukulele. You’ll hear “Clockin’ the Vic" right after we conclude our conversation with Rabbath as well as a few tunes at the end of the program. Enjoy!
