The dean of a nationally accredited college journalism program just told me he isn't sure his faculty is teaching some of his students anything they don't already know.Tom sits down with David Marshall, Dean of the College of Media Arts and Communications at Savannah State University - the oldest public HBCU in Georgia - and the conversation goes to places most deans won't go. Three studentsfailed the senior capstone this semester. His first question wasn't about them. It was about what his program missed. That kind of accountability, from the top, is worth the full hour.In this episode:Why PowerPoints are dead in Whiting Hall — and what replaced themThe senior capstone class that has exactly one grade (an A) and industryjudges in the roomWhat digital-native students already know when they walk in the door, and the one thing they're missingThe $1.2 million investment in new technology — and why it was spent in two weeksHow the VidPod ended up in the JMC podcast center (and the dean's honest take on his early skepticism)What a "culture of care" actually looks like when it also includes a kick in the pants If you teach, advise, or send students toward careers in media and communications — this one reframes what the accountability conversation is supposed to sound like.Teaching to the Test Pattern is a StreamSemester.com production.Subscribe for new episodes featuring teachers, industry leaders, and the stories between the two.
It's Been 10 Years Since Losing Max to Testicular CancerEpisode SummaryIn this special episode, host Joyce Lofstrom is joined by the entire team behind the Max Mallory Foundation: Max's dad, Chuck Mallory (Treasurer), and son, John-Mark Mallory (Executive Director). Together, they reflect on a poignant marker of time: the upcoming 10th anniversary of losing Max to testicular cancer in May 2016. The family discusses the foundation's evolution since its start in 2017, its impactful scholarship partnership with Max's alma mater, the University of Wisconsin-Whitewater, and how the "Don't Give Up on Testicular Cancer" podcast serves as a cornerstone of outreach. They also dive into critical modern issues surrounding testicular cancer advocacy, including the gaping void in mental health resources for young survivors and how a new generation uses social media and AI to process medical fears. Episode Timeline & Chapters[00:00:00] – IntroductionWelcome to the podcast and introduction of the Max Mallory Foundation board members: Joyce, Chuck, and John-Mark. [00:01:45] – Reflecting on the 10-Year MarkerThe family shares what is on their minds as they approach a decade without Max, the surreal nature of passing time, and how sibling grief and parental healing change over a decade. [00:03:45] – Chuck's Writing & Healing JourneyChuck shares a personal update on emotionally processing his grief and his current efforts to write about his years with Max. [00:07:15] – The Roots of the Max Mallory FoundationThe family formally established the private family foundation in 2017 to carry on Max's legacy. [00:08:45] – Honoring Max Through Media Arts & The MAGD ScholarshipA look at the foundation's scholarship program and funding for the Media Arts and Game Development (MAGD) festival at UW-Whitewater. They discuss the use of game design for educational cancer journeys. [00:11:15] – Milestones of the Podcast & The Mental Health GapCelebrating nearly 80 live episodes and identifying a critical gap in cancer care: why the medical community frequently overlooks the psychological and mental health needs of young cancer survivors. [00:14:50] – The Changing Landscape of Advocacy & Social MediaHow the 20-to-30 age demographic uses Reddit, AI, and social media to express medical anxiety. The family addresses why outreach must pivot from traditional school visits to digital spaces. [00:18:00] – Overcoming the Stigma of Men's HealthA discussion on why young men delay going to the doctor out of fear, a lack of preventative screening advice from pediatricians, and learning from the success of breast cancer awareness campaigns. [00:21:30] – Looking Ahead to the Next 10 YearsFinal thoughts from Joyce, Chuck, and John-Mark on carrying forward Max's mantra: "Never give up." Key Takeaways from This EpisodeGrief is a Marker, Not a Milestone: Passing a decade without a loved one isn't a traditional milestone to celebrate, but rather a profound marker of time to celebrate a life well-lived. Mental Health is Part of Survivorship: Medical teams excel at testing numbers and treating tumors, but there remains a massive systemic gap in checking on a survivor's mental health post-treatment. Advocacy Must Meet Youth Where They Are: Young men today turn to online forums like Reddit or AI tools rather than their immediate circles when processing potential cancer symptoms. Awareness campaigns must actively occupy these digital spaces. Break the Silence Early: Pediatricians and parents need to explicitly normalize testicular self-exams for young men around ages 12 and 13 to catch anomalies early and strip away the fear-induced stigma of seeking help.

Hour 2's “St. Louis Morning Brief” centers on a massive public backlash against proposed data center developments in Franklin County and the St. Louis region, where marathon public hearings stretched more than seven hours as hundreds of residents packed venues to oppose the projects. Marc and Kim break down the tension between local governments tempted by major tax revenue and residents concerned about strain on water systems, the power grid, and environmental impacts, with critics warning the projects could reshape communities without adequate safeguards. The conversation widens into broader economic and policy concerns, including warnings that AI and data centers could eliminate up to 50% of white-collar jobs and intensify long-term workforce disruption. The segment also highlights new Census data showing St. Louis has lost roughly 23,000 residents since 2020, raising alarm about declining population, shrinking tax bases, and whether the city could challenge federal counts to secure more funding. Additional stories include Rep. Ann Wagner calling for an FBI investigation into alleged USPS mail theft and check fraud tied to the St. Louis processing center, with reports of constituent complaints and missing or altered checks fueling concern about systemic failures. The brief closes with the sudden shutdown of the St. Louis Voices Academy of Media Arts charter school, leaving about 100 students displaced amid staffing and safety concerns, further underscoring instability across civic institutions in the region.

Dr. Sandra Glahn What does ancient Christian art created in a culture of orality reveal about women in the early church? Dr. Sandra Glahn of Dallas Seminary joins Sharifa Stevens of Beyond Ordinary Women in this conversation about the visual record of women in the early church. In a time when many people were illiterate, the church used visual images to teach the people and honor those who were heroes of the faith. By studying the art of the Byzantine Era, we are able to learn more about the church of that day. The Visual Museum of Women in Christianity has created a place for us to see many of these images today and provide free access to downloadable pictures of these pieces of art. You will find this conversation both educational and a delight as you hear the amazing stories of prominent women in the early church. Sharifa Stevens Recommended resources The Visual Museum of Women in Christianity BOW Podcast episode Using the Center for Women in Leadership BOW Podcast episode Women & Worship in the Early Church This episode is available on video as well. Timestamps: 00:21 Introductions 01:19 What is the Visual Museum of Women in Christianity and how can I access the free downloads 03:39 What women in church history are found in the visual record? 08:49 Why are these names and their stories important to know? 25:06 In what countries are you looking for more visual resources? 26:10 How does visual storytelling change the way people understand theology, Scripture and churches? 30:26 How do you select the women to feature next? 35:56 Resources TranscriptSharifa >> Hello, everyone, and welcome to the Beyond Ordinary Women Podcast. I am your host for today, Sharifa Stevens, and I would like to introduce you to someone whom I admire. Dr. Sandra Glahn is a journalist and also the author, coauthor or editor of more than 20 books. She serves as Professor of Media Arts and Worship at Dallas Theological Seminary. You can discover more about Dr. Glahn on our website, BeyondOrdinaryWomen.org. Dr. Glahn's most recent endeavor is the Visual Museum of Women in Christianity which we're going to learn more about today. Welcome, Dr. Glahn. Dr. Glahn >> Thank you so much. What a pleasure to see you. Sharifa >> Well, it's a pleasure to see you always. I wanted to just jump in to questions about the Visual Museum of Women in Christianity because I'm a newbie to this subject, and I'm sure there would be plenty of people in the audience who are intrigued and want to know more. So let's get started. Dr. Glahn >> Let's do it. Sharifa >> How would you describe the museum to someone encountering it for the first time? Dr. Glahn >> It's a place to get free high quality photos of women and the history of the church, particularly the early church and Byzantine eras. Maybe in 4.0 we'll be looking at every century of the church, but really it's focused much more on women in the early church. And it's a resource with free downloads where you don't have to ask permission. You don't have to say where you got it. Everything is a work for hire with photographers so that women are much more easy, much more easily accessed if you want to include visuals with a presentation. What we found, well, there's probably more than you need it just for a short explanation, but Sharifa >> no. Dr. Glahn >> we found that when we were looking to add women to PowerPoints and talks and people were looking for them for sermons, they're hidden behind paywalls. The art was paywalled or it was clipart. So it was one extreme or the other, the really high quality stuff. You know, it was illegal. If it was if it was even there. And so this is an effort to make it super accessible. Sharifa >> When you say early church, just for those of us who might not have a clear timeline of the Byzantine era, what are the years that we're talking about? Dr. Glahn >> So early church, of course,
The latest episode of the Fantasy/Animation podcast marvels at the era of technologically-powered immersive experiences and high-tech live concert performances through a case study of the Sphere Las Vegas, whose 16K resolution/160,000-square-foot wraparound screen was announced via a series of 40 virtual reality concerts held by U2 between September 2023 to March 2024. Joining Chris and Alex as they navigate these new forms of concert illusion is Dr Tim Jones, an Assistant Professor of Media Arts at Robert Morris University who specialises in animation, film history, media production, and Virtual and Augmented Reality (VR/AR) experience design. Topics include fantastic environments and the aesthetic principles of immersion; the promise of limitlessness when liveness and animation collide, and the resultant spectacle of domed displays; site specificity, aura, and the scale of collective experiences; distinctions between contemplation and distraction; and how the Las Vegas Sphere operates as an expensive party trick that helps us understand animation's own sacred spaces and sensory overloads. **Fantasy/Animation theme tune composed by Francisca Araujo** **As featured on Feedspot's 25 Best London Education Podcasts** **As featured on MillionPodcast's Best 10 UK Animation Podcasts and Best 60 Movie Podcasts in the UK**
From stone tools and shelters to symbolic art and abstract thought, human history is shaped by a brain built to form and share ideas. Joseph Paradiso, Professor in Media Arts and Sciences at the MIT Media Lab, explores what comes next after the early visions of ubiquitous computing have largely arrived in today's Internet of Things world, where low-power sensors and interfaces are embedded in smart devices across our environments and connect seamlessly to widespread networking infrastructure. He asks how this information connects to people, and how perception, cognition, and identity might expand beyond our corporeal confines. Drawing on recent projects from his Responsive Environments research group, he examines sensing at multiple scales in the physical world, including wearables, smart buildings, connected landscapes, and space missions, and the different ways sensed or inferred information can connect to people. Examples include smart buildings as “prosthetic” extensions of their inhabitants, manifesting sensed or inferred phenomena in virtual analog environments, and interfaces modulated by user attention and focus or augmented by real-time AI.

Dr. Sandra Glahn Dr. Lucas Rogers Don't miss this important conversation if you are a leader in your church! Dr. Lucas Rogers shares with Dr. Sandra Glahn what he has learned from his research on conservative churches rethinking women in leadership. His extensive study of churches going through this process provides wise and practical advice for any church leadership considering this issue. Dr. Rogers is available to consult with churches who are interested in being true to the Scriptures while being open to other interpretations. He suggests that it's not where the church ends up, but the process used that will determine the health of the church.

Unser heutiger Gast hat früh gelernt, was es heißt, mit Zielstrebigkeit, Neugier und Disziplin seinen eigenen Weg zu gehen. Als Jugendlicher spielte er erfolgreich Feldhockey in der Junioren-Nationalmannschaft und in der Bundesliga, und er wurde während seiner Studienzeit sogar nordamerikanischer Meister. Er hat einen Bachleor in Media Arts, Television & Film an der University of Arizona erworben und er schloss später seinen Master of Science in Broadcasting an der Boston University ab. Danach baute er sich eine ungewöhnlich vielseitige Karriere auf – zwischen Medien, Sponsoring, internationalem Rechte-Management und Unternehmensberatung. Ob bei der Entwicklung von Content-Strategien, dem Aufbau globaler Sponsorships oder der Produktion von TV-Formaten: Er ist ein kluger Netzwerker und Brückenbauer zwischen Marken, Menschen und Märkten. Zwischenzeitlich übernahm er als Director Marketing & Communication und Interim-CEO die Leitung des Hockey-Weltverbands (FIH) in Lausanne und verantwortete dort globale Kampagnen, Turnierserien und den Auftritt bei der Weltmeisterschaft. Doch neben seiner Karriere im Business hat er auch seine Werte nie aus den Augen verloren: Als Gründer des Alster Cape Town Hockey Projects bringt er Kinder und Jugendliche in Südafrika mit dem Hockeysport in Kontakt, unterstützt von Viva con Agua. Dabei geht es nicht nur um Sport, sondern um Zugang zu Bildung, Gemeinschaft und Perspektive. Auch als Co-Autor des Buches „Mutige Lebensreisen“ zeigt er, was Menschen bewegt, aus vorgezeichneten Bahnen auszubrechen und was wir alle daraus lernen können. Seit über acht Jahren beschäftigen wir uns in diesem Podcast mit der Frage, wie Arbeit den Menschen stärkt, statt ihn zu schwächen. Wir haben in mehr als 500 Episoden mit fast 700 Persönlichkeiten darüber gesprochen, was sich verändert hat und was sich noch verändern muss. Wir sprechen darüber: was Leistungssport für Leadership, Teamentwicklung und Fokus im Berufsleben lehrt, wie man sich in unterschiedlichen Branchen treu bleibt – und trotzdem verändert warum echte Wirkung oft dort beginnt, wo Karriere und Engagement sich berühren Fest steht: Für die Lösung unserer aktuellen Herausforderungen brauchen wir neue Impulse. Daher suchen wir weiter nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Tools und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näherbringen. Darüber hinaus beschäftigt uns von Anfang an die Frage, ob wirklich alle Menschen das finden und leben können, was sie im Innersten wirklich, wirklich wollen.

This week on Make It with Mike & Kristen, we welcome the wonderfully talented Angela Jane Lavender, Togetherland's guest artist for the month of October. Angela's mixed media paintings are an expressive dance of colour, texture, and energy — each piece filled with movement, intricate details, and thousands of tiny dots that draw the viewer deep into her vibrant world. Growing up as the middle child of five in Prince Edward County, Ontario, Angela's creativity bloomed early (even if it meant decorating the furniture and walls before paper caught her attention). After earning top honours from Sheridan College's Visual and Creative Arts Program, she has continued to build a thriving art career that balances motherhood, teaching, and professional artistry — all while keeping her curiosity and intuition alive. In this episode, Angela opens up about the ups and downs of being a full-time artist, finding her audience, and what “making it” means to her. She shares how she finally found her artistic voice — one that captures women, light, and energy — and how she integrates numerology and witchy elements into her creative process. Join us for an inspiring and honest conversation about perseverance, play, and the power of following your artistic instincts.

In which Dan chats with Michael Wagner, Professor and Department Head of Digital Media at the Antoinette Westphal College of Media Arts & Design at Drexel University, about the implications for AI in education. Back in July Michael posted a piece to his Substack with the provocative title, "The End of Cheating as We Know It." He posits that, yes, AI has the power to disrupt everything in education, but, ironically, it has also created the conditions for ancient practices of teaching and learning to ascend, methods like socratic and oral examination, as well as design cycle iteration.Mentioned in the show:The End of Cheating As We Know It by Michael WagnerMichael Wagner's SubstackAlpha SchoolMusic: Inspired by Lakey

Gil Weinberg | Professor, School of Music and Founding Director of the Center for Music Technology | Georgia Institute of Technology "Embodied Creative Machines" Human creativity is directly linked to embodied interaction with the physical environment. At the Robotic Musicianship Group at Georgia Tech, we explore how embodiment effects and enhances both human and artificial creativity. The talk will present a wide range of robotic projects developed at Georgia Tech Center for Music Technology over the last 20 years, from robotic musicians that compose, improvise, and interact with humans in a variety of musical genres, through robotic dancers that respond to human movement, to prosthetic robotic arms that enable amputees to play musical instruments. Gil Weinberg is a professor and the founding director of Georgia Tech Center for Music Technology, where he leads the Robotic Musicianship group. His research focuses on developing artificial creativity and musical expression for robots and augmented humans. Among his projects are a marimba playing robotic musician called Shimon that uses machine learning for Jazz improvisation, and a prosthetic robotic arm for amputees that restores and enhances human drumming abilities. Weinberg presented his work worldwide in venues such as The Kennedy Center, The World Economic Forum, Ars Electronica, Smithsonian Cooper-Hewitt Museum, SIGGRAPH, TED-Ed, DLD and others. His music was performed with Orchestras such as Deutsches Symphonie-Orchester Berlin, the National Irish Symphony Orchestra, and the Scottish BBC Symphony while his research has been disseminated through numerous journal articles and patents. Dr. Weinberg received his MS and PhD degrees in Media Arts and Sciences from MIT and his BA from the interdisciplinary program for fostering excellence in Tel Aviv University.

The AMI Procedure and Magneto Micrometry This week I was honored to have back on my podcast, Dr Hugh Herr. Hugh is a bilateral below knee amputee and a professor of Media Arts and Sciences at MIT. He directs the MIT Biomechatronics Group and Co-directs the K. Lisa Yang Center for Bionics. Time Magazine coined Hugh the 'Leader of the Bionic Age'. He has also authored and co-authored over 350 peer-reviewed manuscripts and patents, chronicling the science and technology behind his many innovations. Dr. Hugh Herr is, in short, making huge contributions in the amputee community, giving amputees a hopeful future in living active and healthy lives. Today, we discuss the AMI procedure (agonist-antagonist myoneural interface) which is the surgery I just had done in Boston with Dr Matthew Carty (co-creator of this surgery with Hugh) on June 20. I was back in the MIT Media Lab over a year and a half ago, when I first met Hugh while I was a control group to test their bionic knee based on my traditional amputation. Little did I know that less than two years later I would undergo groundbreaking surgery to improve my limb and prepare my body to use the myoneural knee that is soon to be made commercial. This is exciting and unbelievable technology that brings hope and excitement to me, as an amputee, because we are going to see a huge change in our mobility based on this type of procedure plus the bionics, 3D printed sockets, and the Magneto Micrometry that is coming out of MIT! Hugh working with a PhD student on the "bionic" knee. Photo credit. Jimmy Day/MIT Media Lab Amputees, get excited for what is coming! Our future looks so bright and we are going to have technology on our side so we can reach our goals and dream big dreams! Listen in as Hugh takes us through everything coming down the MIT Media Lab pipeline and how it'll work together to make us stronger, healthier, and more capable than ever before! Warriors, this is incredible and inspiring! Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, Hugh, for taking time out of your very busy schedule to speak with me and bring more visibility to our future as amputees and for all the innovations and dedication to making us more complete and more than capable than we ever thought possible. We appreciate you and all of your students and colleagues at MIT and MassGeneral. For more information on the AMI procedure check out my June 9, 2025 episode with Dr. Matthew Carty HERE And for a more in depth conversation with Dr. Hugh Herr about his journey, you can listen HERE If you have any questions or thoughts on these technological advancements, please reach out to me and let's have a conversation! Hope you all have a beautiful week ahead. And as always, Be Healthy, Be Happy, Be YOU!!! Much love,

MIT Dan Levine As we wrap up this Limb Loss/Limb Difference Awareness month I am also interviewing my final university student who has been working towards his PhD at MIT. Dan started his journey at Cornell with a degree in Mechanical engineering and Computer Science and is about to graduate from MIT with his doctorate in Media Arts and Sciences. Dan had a fascinating beginning as he was able to spend some younger years in Thailand as his parents were working in the medical field. His excitement about nature and anything is possible to create if we just look, observe and study what is around us shows us that the brain is such an amazing muscle that can come up with the seemingly impossible, like making prosthetics more advanced and allow the amputee live a life as if nothing has changed for them. That is what the studies at the MIT Media Lab aim to accomplish. He has had his hands on several projects in Assistive Technologies and as of late been working on advancing bionics in the ankle prothesis. One very unique experiment he did was to create a video game based on movement technology for his non-sighted friend. Below is the board they actually used to accomplish this task. This board was used to "translate" Mario Bros for his non-sighted friend As I have stated each week this month, the field of mechanical, biomedical engineering and robotics is so very competitive around the nation and some discussions of these students' projects cannot be divulged until they finish their dissertations and get published, so we discuss what we can during these interviews. My hope, though, is to whet your appetite as to what is coming in the world of prosthetics/bionics and the study of the human body in order to aid the amputee community. Dan's team of undergraduates enjoy team building time. Another aspect of being at this level of his degree is bringing on undergraduates to add insight and diverse thinking to projects. As Dan worked with these students as a team they are able to all bring their specific talent to the projects and as Dan stated their level in school does not determine their level of expertise. Each team member is valued for what they bring to the table. Dan has had the opportunity to explore, create and design a more robust and technologically advanced foot model to help be a more natural replacement of our natural foot, using the idea of biomechatronics, energy return, and studying our natural gait to help with his design. Dan in the Media Lab working on specific parts of his design. A very hands on project after the detailed research of measurements and calculations. "Measure twice, cut once" is more his philosophy. I am totally amazed and completely impressed by Dan's imagination, thoughts, and unique view of the world. It takes very special people to be in this space, creating the next great technological advancement in the engineering world and because of people, like Dan, our amputee community will be seeing some incredible advancements to our devices and thus our ability to live the best, most full life, as if we were not missing anything. This is truly something to be celebrated! Thank you, Dan, for spending your time with me diving into the world you have been in these past 6+ years. The devotion, the exhaustion, the hard work and at times, I'm sure, the frustration of getting things completed the way you envisioned them and the successes you have accomplished I thank you! Our community thanks you, for bringing us one step closer to higher potential (pun intended!). And for all of the university students out there trying to make our world a better place, we see you and we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. I look forward to what the future holds for myself and other amputees. A world where nothing inhibits us from achieving all of our hopes, dreams, and goals. I hope you have all enjoyed hearing about the technology and ...
