The Challenger disaster serves as a stark reminder of the importance of rigorous risk assessment and the potential consequences of ignoring or downplaying warnings. In Risk Management Lessons from the Challenger Disaster, I'm paralleling takeaways from the Challenger disaster with how Project Managers can reduce project risk through effective risk management.Godspeed to the Challenger Astronauts Sharon Christa McAuliffe, Michael J.

Look, we just need a last little bit of Knopfling before we close the book on Dire Straits and move onto Corey's mad idea to cover TEN (yes that's T.E.N.) albums by different artists in Season Five. Kev's pretty sure this is just Corey wanting to hang onto the season for as long as humanly possible but hey, it should be damn good fun!Before then, we decided to bring in the Quizmaster from last week, Michael J Smith to talk Live Dire Straits. We couldn't decide between the two major live releases before the band split, so we're covering all the official live releases! That's right, both Alchemy and On The Night are up for discussion, as well as the 1978-1992 boxset, and we're gonna be building our perfect Dire Straits live set! Will Corey include Twisting By The Pool? Will Kev stray a long way from his ten song selection from last week? And will Michael last a full episode having to put up with these two Canidiots?The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and Knopfle a while!Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/76F8G8FEX8Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclash Hosted on Acast.

Well, we're (almost) done folks! We brought in the Terror of Tulsa to help us wrap things up and it was a fun chat as always!Kev and Corey laid out their top ten from the season and we find out who we're covering for Season Five! A special thanks to our pal Michael J Smith for providing the trivia for this season and giving Kev one last chance to win a game in this goddamn series! But, will Kev be able to take Corey on in such a quiz? Who will win the battle to decide the Season Five music, and will the notable nudist be a fan of incessant Knopfling!?!The only way to find out is to turn on, tune in, and get a shiver in the dark!NOTE: Scott has not morphed into a dalek, there was just a strange issue with his audio!Don't forget to follow us on social media and leave us a rating/review if you're enjoying the show!Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/UltimateCatalogueClashBluesky: https://bsky.app/profile/ucatalogueclash.bsky.socialDiscord: https://discord.gg/76F8G8FEX8Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/ultimatecatalogueclash Hosted on Acast.

Today's episode covers the big cahuna. The monster. The behemoth. None more Queen. The song that didn't just put Queen on the map, but also tore the map up into tiny little shreds and force fed the pieces to an ungrateful music press who just didn't get it."Unfortunately, Queen's lyrics are not the stuff of sonnets." - TIME magazine"...a brazen hodgepodge..." - Rolling Stone"A superficially impressive pastiche of incongruous musical styles..." - Melody Maker"It has no immediate selling point whatsoever" - Record Mirror"They sound extremely self-important" - NME"The critics can go fuck themselves" - Cardinal WoodsIf Randy were to title this episode, he'd probably call it "Nothing really matters" or possibly, "I wonder who played gong on this track?"It's Bo Rhap time.NOTES: Skip forward to 38:47 if you want to skip the preamble.The song featured at the end of the episode is "Hint of Grey" written and recorded by our very own Ian Winick in his former duo, John Loves Julie.

First things first: today's episode is fantastic, but deals with some really heavy, difficult subject matter. Please be advised, and please take care of yourself and listen as you're able. On January 28, 1986, the Space Shuttle Challenger broke apart 73 seconds into flight above the Atlantic Ocean, off the coast of Cape Canaveral, Florida at 11:39 a.m., killing all seven crew members aboard. This marked the first fatal accident involving an American spacecraft while in flight. Not only were the families of all seven crew members watching, but so was the country and the world—the launch was broadcast live, and children across the country in particular were watching thanks to schoolteacher Christa McAuliffe being sent into space that day as a part of the Teacher In Space program. Because of this, media interest was higher than normal, and many children watched in horror as the spacecraft exploded, not understanding, and traumatized. I want to honor those seven lives lost by naming them here: F. Richard Scobee, commander; Michael J. Smith, pilot; Ronald McNair, mission specialist; Ellison Onizuka, mission specialist; Judith Resnik, mission specialist; Gregory Jarvis, payload specialist; and Christa McAuliffe, payload specialist and teacher. This crew was scheduled to deploy a communications satellite and study Halley's Comet, but never got the chance; the cause of the explosion was determined to be the failure of the primary and secondary redundant O-ring seals in a joint in the shuttle's right solid rocket booster—our guest on the show today, Adam Higginbotham, will explain that to us. The record-low temperatures on that January morning of the launch had stiffened the rubber O-rings, reducing their ability to seal the joints. After a three-month search-and recovery operation, the crew compartment, human remains, and many other fragments from the shuttle were recovered from the Atlantic Ocean floor. I talk about this with Adam today, but, while the exact timing of the deaths of the crewmembers is unknown, several crew members are thought to have survived the initial breakup of the Challenger. It is especially difficult, at least for me, to hear Adam talk about this. As a result of the Challenger disaster, NASA established the Office of Safety, Reliability, and Quality Assurance, as well as other changes focused on safety. In his book Challenger: A True Story of Heroism and Disaster on the Edge of Space, which comes out tomorrow, May 14, Adam Higginbotham tells the story of the Challenger but also the arc from 1967 and the Apollo 1 cabin fire to 2003 and the Columbia disaster, 17 years after the Challenger. This is one of the best books I've ever read—full stop. The full story of what happened with the Challenger and why has never been told, until Adam's book. It is filled with extensive archival research and meticulous, original reporting about this turning point in history, which, as Adam puts it, “forever changed the way America thought of itself and its optimistic view of the future.” Adam is a journalist who is the former U.S. correspondent for The Sunday Telegraph and former editor-in-chief of The Face. He has also served as a contributing writer for The New York Times, The New Yorker, GQ, Smithsonian, and Wired and is also the author of Midnight in Chernobyl: The Untold Story of the World's Greatest Nuclear Disaster, which came out in 2019. This is a truly harrowing and powerful conversation. Challenger: A True Story of Heroism and Disaster on the Edge of Space by Adam Higginbotham
