Podcast appearances and mentions of Michael Bennett

Three leading screenwriters, Michael Bennett, Dianne Taylor and Lulu Wang share their experiences on the craft of writing for film and series, from the first idea being conceptualised through to the final draft for production based on examples from their own acclaimed work. This session is moderated by Marc Laureano and presented by South Pacific Pictures.  

Prior to this offseason, General Manager John Schneider presided over two major shakeups of the Seahawks post-Super Bowl roster. We've referred to these as a 'Hawkpocalypse' due to their significance. Richard Sherman, Kam Chancellor, Cliff Avril and Michael Bennett all left in 2018. Then two franchise cornerstones in Russell Wilson and Bobby Wagner left in 2022. This offseason seems to close the book on some remaining pillars of the Pete Carroll era: Tyler Lockett, DK Metcalf and Geno Smith. But does this shift seem as dire as the previous two, or is it a strategy to be celebrated? Will Schneider's move to bring in Sam Darnold, Cooper Kupp and Marquez Valdes-Scantling be able to fill the holes that were created in the roster? Even if they don't, we should expect the improvements on defense will help carry the 2025 Seahawks. In the second half of the show, we talk about some dream scenarios and nightmare scenarios for the upcoming 2025 NFL Draft. Could a dream interior lineman fall into the Seahawks lap, or will they move up to draft a quarterback or even stay put to take another running back? This week, a writer at the Sporting News and a Discord hacker need to 'Do Better.' Better at life honors go out to a diner in Oregon and Sam Darnold's prolific Reddit fanclub.

The NFL agent who represents Michael Bennett, Michael Crabtree, Marshawn Lynch, Kenny Stills and over forty other professional football players became the Executive VP at Wasserman .The agents, Doug Hendrickson and CJ LaBoy, have worked together dating back to their days at Octagon. However, in February 2014, they left to work under NFL agent Eugene Parker (who passed away in 2016) at what was called Relativity Sports and was rebranded to ISE under the new leadership of Hank Ratner, who was the former President and CEO of The Madison Square Garden Company.Hendrickson and LaBoy were basically left in charge of ISE's football division after Parker's death and veteran NFL agent Tory Dandy leaving ISE for Creative Artists Agency, bringing along with him clients such as Sammy Watkins and Shaq Lawson.

Thank you, everybody.  Please have a seat.  You guys can sit down, too.  (Laughter.) Let me begin by saying thank you to a few people -- first of all, your outstanding Governor, Bill Ritter.  Please give Bill a big round of applause.  (Applause.)  Lieutenant Governor Barbara O'Brien.  (Applause.)  Secretary of State Bernie Buescher.  (Applause.)  Your outstanding Mayor, John Hickenlooper.  (Applause.)  Your new Senator, Michael Bennett.  (Applause.)  Your old senator, now my Secretary of the Interior, Ken Salazar.  (Applause.)  Mark Udall is not here, but give him a round of applause anyway.  (Applause.) One of the outstanding leaders who helped shepherd this process through in record time -- please give Max Baucus of Montana a big round of applause.  Thank you, Max.  (Applause.)  To Secretary Federico Pena, one of my national co-chairs -- I would not be here if it were not for Federico.  Thank you.  (Applause.)  To Representative Diana DeGette, who is a -- we are in her district.  So, thank you so much.  (Applause.)  Representative Betsy Markey.  (Applause.)  Representative Jared Polis.  (Applause.)  Representative Ed Perlmutter.  (Applause.) To all the other elected officials and outstanding leaders who are here.  And to the whole Namaste family and Mr. Jones for outstanding work, congratulations.  Give them a big round of applause.  (Applause.)  And to the best Vice President that we've had in a long time -- Joe Biden.  (Applause.)It is great to be back in Denver.  (Applause.)  I was here last summer -- we had a good time -- (laughter) -- to accept the nomination of my party and to make a promise to people of all parties that I would do all that I could to give every American the chance to make of their lives what they will; to see their children climb higher than they did.  And I'm back today to say that we have begun the difficult work of keeping that promise.  We have begun the essential work of keeping the American Dream alive in our time.  And that's why we're here today.  (Applause.)Now, I don't want to pretend that today marks the end of our economic problems.  Nor does it constitute all of what we're going to have to do to turn our economy around.  But today does mark the beginning of the end -- the beginning of what we need to do to create jobs for Americans scrambling in the wake of layoffs; the beginning of what we need to do to provide relief for families worried they won't be able to pay next month's bills; the beginning of the first steps to set our economy on a firmer foundation, paving the way to long-term growth and prosperity.The American Recovery and Reinvestment Act that I will sign today -- a plan that meets the principles I laid out in January -- is the most sweeping economic recovery package in our history. It's the product of broad consultation and the recipient of broad support -- from business leaders, unions, public interest groups, from the Chamber of Commerce and the National Association of Manufacturers, as well as the AFL-CIO.  (Applause.)  From Democrats and Republicans, mayors as well as governors.  It's a rare thing in Washington for people with such diverse and different viewpoints to come together and support the same bill.   And on behalf of our nation, I want to thank all of them for it, including your two outstanding Senators, Michael Bennett and Mark Udall, as well as all the members of your congressional delegation.  They did an outstanding job and they deserve a big round of applause.  (Applause.) I also want to thank Joe Biden for working behind the scenes from the very start to make this recovery act possible.  I want to thank Speaker Pelosi and Harry Reid for acting so quickly and for proving that Congress could step up to this challenge. I have special thanks to Max Baucus, who's the Chairman of the Finance Committee.  Without Max, none of this would have happened.  He had to work overtime, and push his committee to work overtime.  And I want to thank all the committee chairs and members of Congress for coming up with a plan that is both bold and balanced enough to meet the demands of this moment.  The American people were looking to them for leadership, and that's what they provided.Now, what makes this recovery plan so important is not just that it will create or save 3.5 million jobs over the next two years, including 60,000-plus here in Colorado.  It's that we're putting Americans to work doing the work that America needs done –- (applause) -- in critical areas that have been neglected for too long; work that will bring real and lasting change for generations to come.Because we know we can't build our economic future on the transportation and information networks of the past, we are remaking the American landscape with the largest new investment in our nation's infrastructure since Eisenhower built an Interstate Highway System in the 1950s.  (Applause.)  Because of this investment, nearly 400,000 men and women will go to work rebuilding our crumbling roads and bridges, repairing our faulty dams and levees, bringing critical broadband connections to businesses and homes in nearly every community in America, upgrading mass transit, building high-speed rail lines that will improve travel and commerce throughout our nation.Because we know America can't out-compete the world tomorrow if our children are being out-educated today, we're making the largest investment in education in our nation's history.  (Applause.)  It's an investment that will create jobs building 21st century classrooms and libraries and labs for millions of children across America.  It will provide funds to train a new generation of math and science teachers, while giving aid to states and school districts to stop teachers from being laid off and education programs from being cut. In a place like New York City, 14,000 teachers who were set to be let go may now be able to continue pursuing their critical mission.  It's an investment that will create a new $2,500 annual tax credit to put the dream of a college degree within reach for middle-class families and make college affordable for 7 million students -- (applause) -- helping more of our sons and daughters aim higher, reach further, fulfill their God-given potential.  (Applause.)Because we know that spiraling health care costs are crushing families and businesses alike, we're taking the most meaningful steps in years towards modernizing our health care system.  It's an investment that will take the long overdue step of computerizing America's medical records to reduce the duplication and waste that costs billions of health care dollars, and medical errors that cost thousands of lives each year.Further, thanks to the actions we've taken, 7 million Americans who lost their health care along the way will continue to get the coverage they need, and roughly 20 million more Americans can breathe a little easier knowing that their health care won't be cut due to a state budget shortfall.  And a historic commitment to wellness initiatives will keep millions of Americans from setting foot in the doctor's office in the first place -- because these are preventable diseases and we're going to invest in prevention.  (Applause.)So taken together with the enactment earlier this month of a long-delayed law to extend health care to millions more children of working families -- (applause) -- we have done more in 30 days to advance the cause of health care reform than this country has done in an entire decade.  And that's something we should be proud of.  (Applause.)Because we know we can't power America's future on energy that's controlled by foreign dictators, we are taking big steps down the road to energy independence, laying the groundwork for new green energy economies that can create countless well-paying jobs.  It's an investment that will double the amount of renewable energy produced over the next three years.  Think about that -- double the amount of renewable energy in three years.  (Applause.)  Provide tax credits and loan guarantees to companies like Namaste, a company that will be expanding, instead of laying people off, as a result of the plan that I'm about to sign.And in the process, we will transform the way we use energy. Today, the electricity we use is carried along a grid of lines and wires that date back to Thomas Edison -- a grid that can't support the demands of this economy.  This means we're using 19th and 20th century technologies to battle 21st century problems like climate change and energy security.  It also means that places like North Dakota can -- that can produce a lot of wind energy can't deliver it to communities that want it, leading to a gap between how much clean energy we are using and how much we could be using.The investment we're making today will create a newer, smarter electric grid that will allow for broader use of alternative energy.  We will build on the work that's being done in places like Boulder -- a community that's on its -- that's on pace to be the world's first Smart Grid city.  (Applause.)  This investment will place Smart Meters in homes to make our energy bills lower, make outages less likely, and make it easier to use clean energy.  It's an investment that will save taxpayers over $1 billion by slashing energy costs in our federal buildings by 25 percent; save working families hundreds of dollars a year on their energy bills by weatherizing over 1 million homes.  And it's an investment that takes the important first step towards a national transmission superhighway that will connect our cities to the windy plains of the Dakotas and the sunny deserts of the Southwest.Even beyond energy, from the National Institutes of Health to the National Science Foundation, this recovery act represents the biggest increase in basic research funding in the long history of America's noble endeavor to b

This podcast episode features the fourth panel session of the day at our Artemis London 2024 conference, which was held on September 3rd. It was our third in-person conference in London focused on catastrophe bonds, insurance-linked securities (ILS), alternative capital and reinsurance-linked investment trends. The fourth panel of the day was titled "Cat bonds – Primed for records, growth & key role in global risk transfer." Participants discussed the state of the catastrophe bond market, the outlook for cat bonds through the rest of 2024 and beyond. Moderating the session was: Philipp Kusche, Global Head of ILS, Howden Capital Markets & Advisory. Joining him as panellists were: Florian Steiger, CEO, Icosa Investments AG; Michael Bennett, Head of Derivatives & Structured Finance, World Bank Treasury; Tanja Wrosch, Head of Cat Bond Portfolio Management, Twelve Capital; and Colin Scagell, Partner, Mayer Brown. At the time of this recording the catastrophe bond market was still in its hurricane season lull, but panellists reflected on what was a record first-half of the year for cat bond issuance and their expectations for a busy pipeline to emerge over the course of the year.  Investor sentiment and motivations were discussed, as well as the motivations of catastrophe bond sponsors, with all our expert panellists explaining that they expected activity would ramp up and create a record year of issuance, which we now know to have been the case. Listen to the full episode to hear our industry experts discuss the state of the catastrophe bond market, the appetite of investors for new cat bond investments and the key role the cat bond market has developed as a source of reinsurance and risk transfer protection.

In der neuen Folge des „NFL Boulevard“ blicken Kucze und Daniel hinter „schwedische Gardinen“. Welche NFL-Spieler sitzen eigentlich aktuell im Knast? Dass NFL-Stars herausragende Athleten sind, ist unbestritten. Dass sich in der Liga aber auch ein paar „Schwarze Schafe“ bzw. „besonders schwere Jungs“ tummeln, ist hingegen ebenfalls Fakt. Regelmäßig werden NFL-Profis verhaftet. Statistisch gut nachzuvollziehen z.B. auf Seiten wie www.nflarrest.net. In dieser Episode geht es u.a. um die zum Teil abscheulichen Verbrechen von Henry Ruggs, Michael Bennett, Darren Sharper, Kellen Winslow, Brandon Browner und Anthony Smith. Wenn ihr Vorschläge für ein Thema des „NFL Boulevard“ habt, schreibt Kucze am besten über Instagram oder X an (@kucze22).

"It's okay to start over, but it's not okay to complain about what it takes to start over." Michael Bennett Super Bowl Champion On this episode of The Pivot in partnership with Fanatics, we're sitting down with Super Bowl champ and 3x Pro Bowler Michael Bennett. Building a reputation in professional sports for being unique, Bennett shares with Ryan, Channing and Fred his journey from a young man growing up in Louisiana to getting into football to his close bond with his brother to being outspoken for black men and culture to the highs and lows of winning and losing a Super Bowl....but now life looks a little different for Michael —he's living in Hawaii with his family, traveling the world, and diving deep into architecture and design. But being able to start over took some time, as Michael shares with the guys how he struggled to step away from the game he loved so much but knew deep down his worry about his brain and fear to never walk his daughter down the isle pushed him to retire from the NFL and refocus his efforts differently. Michael talks about how much he loved every moment of the game, but ultimately made the selfless decision to say good bye to it so he could stay healthy knowing football was his passion but family is his purpose. Michael was part of some of football's toughest defensive cores in NFL history and part of building the 2013 Super Bowl Championship team in Seattle as he breaks down some of his top ranked defenses of all time and gives his thoughts on today's game. He gives his take on one of the biggest enigmas of Seattle's Super Bowl loss, which is why did Marshawn Lynch not get the ball as the game winded down with a chance to win a 2nd Super Bowl...Michael shares the inside talk of what really happened that play call and what he saw happening if Marshawn was given the ball that play. Considered a controversial career by some, Fred, Ryan and Channing commend him for always taking a stand on important issues and ask how Michael found the courage to stand up for black people, being in locker rooms where his outspokenness was often frowned upon by fans, the franchise and teammates. Michael explains how growing up him and his brother would receive punishments to read encyclopedias, so learning was always a key part of their lives. That intellectual curiosity shaped how he approached football, and his love for the X's and O's as He didn't just want to be a great player; he wanted to study the game and master it. But his interests stretched way beyond the field which Michael became known for speaking out on important issues, from activism to social justice, never afraid to stand up for what he believed in or try to spread his message in creative ways not hostility, even writing a book, "Things that Make White People Uncomfortable". Since retiring from football, Michael's focused on spreading a different message: the importance of design, especially in black communities, and creating opportunities for his culture. Humanizing black men, making it okay for them to be vulnerable and emotional is one of his main goals as he explains how, as an athlete, people try to put you in a box, but for him it's all about breaking those stereotypes. To him, intellect and emotion are just as vital as the toughness and grit it takes to make it in both the NFL and life after the game.  Tap in now on YouTube to watch full episode and hit Subscribe.

Interview with Michael Bennett, President & CEO of Altamira GoldOur previous interview: https://www.cruxinvestor.com/posts/altamira-gold-alta-finding-gold-copper-porphyries-in-brazil-1925Recording date: 31st May 2024Altamira Gold (TSXV:ALTA) offers investors a unique opportunity to gain exposure to the underexplored gold potential of Brazil. The company's flagship Cajueiro project in the central-western part of the country hosts a 700,000 ounce resource at an average grade of 1.2 grams per tonne (g/t). However, the real excitement comes from the recent Maria Bonita discovery, which has the potential to rapidly grow the resource while providing a pathway to near-term production.Maria Bonita was discovered in 2020 and has seen limited drilling to date. Yet the results have been impressive, with long intercepts of consistent gold mineralization starting from surface. Hole 29, for example, returned 1.0 g/t gold over 22.8 meters with a peak value of 2.4g/t gold. Importantly, the deposit features 10-20 meters of soft oxidized rock from surface that is highly amenable to heap leach processing. Initial metallurgical tests returned 88% gold recoveries with very low reagent consumption.The oxidized blanket at Maria Bonita supports a potential heap leach operation producing around 200,000 ounces per year. With a capex estimated at less than $10 million, such an operation would be transformational for Altamira. It would provide the cash flow to fund aggressive exploration across the company's 30,000-hectare land package, where numerous targets have yet to be drill tested.The ultimate goal is to establish Cajueiro as a multi-million ounce gold district. Maria Bonita is open at depth where recent drilling has encountered visible gold, pointing to the potential for a positive grade reconciliation. Regionally, Altamira is conducting geophysical surveys to define new drill targets for testing later this year.Altamira also offers investors optionality through its earlier-stage Apiacas and Santa Helena projects. Apiacas, located 50 km east of Cajueiro, produced over 1 million ounces of gold historically from garimpeiro workings. Altamira's first-pass drilling returned grades up to 9m @ 9.44 g/t gold, and 9m @ 4.5 g/t gold, with follow-up geophysics and drilling planned. Santa Helena meanwhile provides copper-gold porphyry exposure, with three targets identified from surface sampling.With a market cap of just $20 million, Altamira is an attractive speculation at current levels. The company has recently raised $6 million through private placement, providing ample funding for upcoming drilling and development studies. The potential for a low-capex heap leach operation at Maria Bonita provides a compelling near-term production opportunity. And with a 30,000-hectare land package in a highly prospective yet underexplored gold belt, there is no shortage of upside potential. With drilling ongoing to grow the resource base and a number of potential catalysts on the horizon, Altamira is a story worth watching closely.View Altamira Gold's company profile: https://cruxinvestor.com/companies/altamira-goldSign up for Crux Investor: https://cruxinvestor.com

Tune in for a conversation about his three current projects, Boop!, The Devil Wears Prada, and Becoming Nancy, as well as some fantastic stories and insights from his legendary career, including how Broadway Bares led to his Broadway debut, what it was like being fought over by Lauren Bacall and Ann Miller, why Michael Bennett's musical Scandal never came to fruition, the inspiration for the conga line in On Your Feet!, how he cast Jasmine Amy Rogers in Boop! and Laura Bell Bundy in Legally Blonde, the direct line from Jack O'Brien to him to Sergio Trujillo, his earliest musical Aesop's Fallibles, using treadmills onstage in Kinky Boots, why he doesn't like doing revivals, creating dances for non-dancers in The Full Monty, the ins and outs of the 2-year rehearsal process for Jerome Robbins' Broadway, and so much more. You won't want to miss this in-depth interview with one of the most influential figures in theater today.

We sat down with Director Todd Brooks,  Stage Manager Krista Freimuth, and Actor Adam Fulbright to talk about Chanticleer's upcoming production "A Chorus Line."  This is a cohesive cast who are working hard but having the time of their lives, which of course, is everything community theatre should be.  This is going to be a fun production, with a live orchestra, much dancing and singing with all the classic "A Chorus Line" tunes and dance moves! Though "A Chorus LIne" was also adapted into a popular movie in 1985, for most people the story is best told on stage. The original musical was written in 1975 by Marvin Hamlisch, with lyrics by Edward Kleban, and directed by Michael Bennett.  It won many Tony Awards, a Drama Desk Award, a Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and in 1984 won a Tony for longest running musical on Broadway.  (It is currently the 7th longest running musical to date).  The "Book" (librettists of the spoken, non-sung dialogue, and storyline of a musical play) was written by James Kirkwood, Jr. and Nicholas Dante. The story is based on true stories and is set on the stage of a Broadway theater, and centered on seventeen Broadway dancers auditioning for roles on a chorus line. "A Chorus Line" runs May 9-12th and 16-19th at Chanticleer Community Theatre at PACE.  This is a great opportunity to see this prize winning musical!  CHANTICLEER at PACE / CONTACT INFO:  Website:  https://www.paceartsiowa.org/theater/chanticleer-community-theater Ticket Link: https://www.showpass.com/a-chorus-line-4/ Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/chanticleertheater  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/paceartsia/?hl=en  Twitter: https://twitter.com/PACEartsiowa  Chanticleer Community Theatre / Pace Arts Iowa 1001 S 6th Street, Council Bluffs, IA HOW TO LISTEN TO THE PLATTE RIVER BARD PODCAST: Listen at https://platteriverbard.podbean.com or anywhere you get your podcasts.

NINE surprised Broadway in 1982 when it opened last minute and proved to be a formidable foe to the other big hit of the season, DREAMGIRLS. It was also a musical that couldn't seem to escape drama, whether onstage at the hands of lead character Guido Contini or off. Here this week to discuss the highs and lows of this stylish and somewhat avant-garde musical is original Broadway cast member Kim Criswell (THE FIRST, BABY, THE THREEPENNY OPERA). From last minute costume shopping at a Times Square lingerie shop to wearing Tony-winning couture gowns, Kim spills the T on one of the most memorable musical seasons in Broadway history, and the unforgettable people who made it so.

This is the second half of my conversation with author Liza Gennaro, whose fascinating book is titled: Making Broadway Dance.  If you missed part one you may want to catch up on that episode before listening to this one. Liza is currently the Dean of Musical Theater at the Manhattan School of Music and she also has had a very active and successful career as a dancer and choreographer. Interestingly, she is closely related to this subject matter of her book because her father was the Tony Award winning choreographer and star dancer, Peter Gennaro. He is profiled in the book as well as in this episode. By the end of Part 1, we had made it to the late 1940s when Agnes de Mille was dominating the field of Broadway choreography. Between 1943 and 1945, De Mille had four hits in a row – Oklahoma!, One Touch of Venus, Bloomer Girl, and Carousel – and three of them choreographed in her signature “Americana” style. This unprecedented string of successes made her the most powerful choreographer in the commercial theater, and soon led to her becoming the first director-choreographer of the “Golden Age” with Rodgers & Hammerstein's Allegro. De Mille's most significant contribution to the Broadway Musical was breaking the mold of the traditional Broadway chorus girl by insisting on hiring actor/dancers who could fully embody the characters that they were playing.  This new approach to Broadway dance, and this new kind of Broadway dancer, would be adopted by everyone who followed in her footsteps – especially Jerome Robbins – who years later would write, “Agnes broke the conception of what the Broadway dancer could be in the Broadway Musical. What they looked like, what was desired of them, and what their contribution to the show was.” And, as you will hear, Robbins took that idea and ran with it, just as De Mille's “Americana” style was starting to lose its luster. That's just the beginning Later in the episode Liza and I discuss Michael Kidd, Bob Fosse, Gower Champion, Michael Bennett, Graciela Daniele, Susan Stroman, Kathleen Marshall, Bill T.
