Podcast appearances and mentions of Michael Enright

Frederick McCarthy Forsyth CBE is an English author and journalist. He was born on August 25, 1938.A former RAF pilot and investigative journalist, created the modern thriller when he wrote The Day of The JackalHe is best known for thrillers like The Day of the Jackal, The Odessa File, The Fourth Protocol, The Dogs of War, The Devil's Alternative, The Fist of God, Icon, The Veteran, Avenger, The Afghan, The Cobra, and The Kill List.Forsyth's books are often on lists of the best-selling books, and more than a dozen of them have been made into movies. By 2006, more than 70 million copies of his books had been sold in more than 30 languages.The Shepherd tells the story of a De Havilland Vampire pilot who is going home on Christmas Eve, 1957. On the way from RAF Celle in northern Germany to RAF Lakenheath in Suffolk, England, his plane loses all of its electricity. He gets lost in fog over the North Sea and is almost out of gas when he runs into a De Havilland Mosquito fighter-bomber that seems to have been sent up to "shepherd" him in.The main themes of the story are how he is guided to a safe landing and how he tries to find the pilot who saved him.Forsyth wrote this original piece as a Christmas present for his first wife Carrie, who had asked him to write her a ghost story. The story was written on Christmas Day, 1974, and came out around the same time the next year. The idea came to the author when he was trying to think of a setting that wasn't a haunted house and saw planes flying overhead. Many people have thought that the references were to old RAF stories. Even though Forsyth is a former RAF pilot and could have heard and changed such a story (whether on purpose or not), no references or personal stories have been given to back up such claims.Since 1979, the story has been told on the Canadian news show As It Happens on CBC Radio One. It is always read by Alan Maitland and is always on the last episode, which is always on or before Christmas Eve. As it Happens had a 50th anniversary special in 2018, and Carol Off, Michael Enright, and Tom Power read lines from The Shepherd to honour the tradition.On December 14, 2014, in London, at St. Clement Danes, the Central Church of the Royal Air Force, actor Nigel Anthony put on an original version of The Shepherd by Amber Barnfather, complete with music and sound effects. Frederick Forsyth opened the show, which raised money for the RAF Benevolent Fund. David Chilton was in charge of the sound, and the Saint Martin Singers sang a cappella pieces.John Travolta confirmed in 2022 that he is making a movie version of The Shepherd right now.Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens AudiobookIf you like my voice and want to support my work, get my narration of this Christmas Classic herehttps://theclassicghoststoriespodcast.bandcamp.com/album/a-christmas-carol-by-charles-dickensNew Patreon RequestBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched!

Awhile ago I had an idea to record an episode called: Struggling. And it was just going to be a solo episode talking about all the things that I'm currently struggling with. I chatted about this idea with one of my best friends and he said that he'd love to come back on the podcast, talk about all of the things that he's currently struggling with and we should change the title to: STRUGGLE BUS. Previously featured on Episode 22 & Episode 100, Michael Enright is here today and we are laying it all out on the table. It's very easy to hide behind social media and pretend that your life is perfect under the guise of an Instagram filter. In this episode, we don't. We talk about struggles with depression, anxiety, money, relationships, eating disorders, time management, burnout, jealousy, loneliness, self-care, parenting…the list goes on and on and on. At the end of the day, life is hard. Being an artist is hard. Trying to figure out what's next is hard. And you shouldn't have to go through it alone. If you or someone you know is currently struggling right now, please know that you are never alone and we are riding that struggle bus with you. Thank you so much for listening and continuing to support the podcast!

This podcast provides some education surrounding both Disability and Life Insurance with a focus on the different types of coverage and purpose for each.  As individuals build a financial foundation it is important to recognize and understand how these financial instruments work and how they can be utilized throughout your life. Access to cash values through borrowing or partial surrenders will reduce the policy’s cash value and death benefit, increase the chance the policy will lapse, and may result in a tax liability if the policy terminates before the death of the insured.

This week Julie talks to our three graduating research assistants about what they've learned working for NSRLP, and how it will affect their legal careers. Lidia Imbrogno has worked for NSRLP throughout her law school career, on a multitude of different projects; most recently she has developed and expertly managed the Case Law Database project and team. Lidia will be articling at Willis Business Law in Windsor. Becky Robinet has worked for NSRLP since her 2L year, on the Legal Coaching Project, and the Transcripts Project, and has taken on the vast responsibility of responding to SRL enquiries, with great empathy. Becky will be articling at Miller Canfield in Windsor. Sandra Shushani has also worked for NSRLP since her 2L year, providing meticulous research and writing for the Case Law Database, and assisting Lidia in managing that ever-growing team. Sandra will be articling at the City of Windsor. We wish to take this opportunity to thank the University of Windsor Law School, and the Law Foundation of Ontario, for funding our research assistant program at the NSRLP. The efforts of these wonderful students are integral to the work we do, and we are grateful for this financial support. In other news: Canadian Lawyer Magazine takes an intelligent look at the controversy surrounding the expanding role of paralegals in family law matters in Ontario; and Julie was interviewed by Michael Enright on CBC’s Sunday Edition last weekend about the SRL crisis – why it’s happening, what the response has been from the profession, and what it takes to address the issues.

Michael Enright got Jesse his first job in radio. He was also CANADALAND’s first ever guest, drinking bourbon and talking sh*t about the Canadian media. For our 200th show, he’s back to talk about how the media has changed since that day... and how Air Canada ended up publicly denouncing him on Twitter.

Michael Enright interviewed Preston Manning this morning on The Sunday Edition about populism. I’ve always had a lot of time for Manning, even though, on paper, our politics don’t overlap very much; he made an excellent point in this interview, one that resonates with something I’ve been thinking a lot about in the age of Trump: Enright: How do we gauge or measure the fact that people, elites so-called, are not listening to what the grassroots are saying? Manning: Well one way, Michael, is to look at their communication style. I’m not knocking elites, I’m just trying to reflect on the points you’re trying to get to. Why is it that so many people no longer listen or are impressed by them. And the communication style of elites, whether it’s academics, or high business executives, or government executives, is that they’re source-oriented communicators. They say what they want to say, in the language they want to say it, with the media that they are most comfortable with, and that’s a perfectly fine method of communication when you’re dealing with your peers. But the opposite of that is a receiver-oriented communicator, who doesn’t start with what I want to say, and my view, who starts with “who are these people in this audience, what are they thinking, what are their attitudes, what is their vocabulary, what is their preferred media.” Taking that into account, then getting around to saying what you want to say. The later one is the style of a small-d democrat politician; the other is a different style that doesn’t resonate with rank and file people. So much of what rankles me about how our democracy operates comes down to this notion of communication style. Here, for example, is a sentence pulled from the 2016 Prince Edward Island Budget Address by Hon. Allen F. Roach, Minister of Finance: At the same time, we must remain mindful of the continued volatility in the global economy. Vast fluctuations in the pricing of resources and other market conditions have placed pressure on government and private industry alike. These pressures, in turn, have impacted both personal and public finances. We, as Islanders and as a Government, are not isolated from these economic realities. The budget address is the most concrete statement that government has to make each year about how it will govern. And yet what does that sentence mean? Nothing. It is entirely without meaning for the regular everyday person–Manning’s “rank and file people”–among which I count myself. While “vast fluctuations in the pricing of resources and other market conditions” might mean something to an economist, to most people this sounds like “blah blah blah, blah, blah blah.” Compare this to a section from President Donald Trump’s inaugural address: From this moment on, it’s going to be America First. Every decision on trade, on taxes, on immigration, on foreign affairs, will be made to benefit American workers and American families. We must protect our borders from the ravages of other countries making our products, stealing our companies, and destroying our jobs.  Protection will lead to great prosperity and strength. I will fight for you with every breath in my body – and I will never, ever let you down. In both cases the speakers are making a macroeconomic point; setting aside whatever you might feel about Trump’s “America First” approach, he is speaking in clear language that anyone can understand. Is it any wonder that he’s capable of making a connection with many electors, even those who don’t share his politics. You might argue that Manning’s “receiver-oriented communication style” is nothing more than “telling them what they want to hear,” and certainly in Trump’s case there appears to be much of that; but note that Manning finishes his description with “Taking that into account, then getting around to saying what you want to say.” He is, in other words, saying “listen, then talk” and, further, “when you talk, talk in a way that people can relate to.” And that doesn’t seem to be asking too much of those who we charge to conduct the public business. Our current administration here in Prince Edward Island has suggested in past that it will heed this notion; in one of Premier MacLauchlan’s first statements upon assuming office he summarized this as follows: We must continuously look for new ways to obtain input from citizens and the community, to inform government decisions and priorities. By listening carefully to citizens, we will make better decisions about public policy and its administration. Further, a properly grounded approach to listening will sustain government on a strategic policy course. Setting aside that this description of a more populist approach was, itself, written in decidedly non-populist language, the spirit appears true. Too often, though, these “new ways to obtain input from citizens and the community” are conducted, as Manning outlined, in a “source-oriented” way: “they say what they want to say, in the language they want to say it, with the media that they are most comfortable with.” What results is either “we must remain mindful of the continued volatility in the global economy”-style gobbledegook. Or neo-populist videos that have all the appearances of being plainspoken but that are, in fact, written in tone-deaf marketingspeak: We’re the one thing that, despite our size, gives us a leg up: call it scrappy, call it persistent, we call it mighty. It’s the kind of might that makes us an Island of dreamers and doers; it’s guided us from the beginning, with a will and a belief that we can do anything. To be clear: I’m not speaking about policy here. I’m neither seeking to praise Trump’s administration nor to condemn MacLauchlan’s. I’m not talking about the ideas behind their speech and their approach; my praise and criticism is about style, medium, language, spirit and tone. The danger in all of this for Prince Edward Island is that we will, eventually, see a leader with a combination of populism, credibility, and crazy ideas, who will lead us, despite our better judgement, into dangerous waters; perhaps all that’s prevented this from happening, to this point, is the absence of a skilled-enough actor, and long-term habituation to the gobbledegook. Of course it need not tilt that way: it’s possible that we’ll see the emergence of a populist leader, with credibility and laudable ideas, who will guide us in an entirely more positive way. Whichever way things go, we ignore Manning’s wise words at our peril.
