How does timestamping shape the preservation and curation of literary sound? This roundtable episode brings together four SpokenWeb researchers––Jason Camlot, Tanya Clement, and Mike O'Driscoll in conversation with moderator Michael MacKenzie––to explore this deceptively simple yet profoundly complex question. What emerges is a layered, multidisciplinary view of timestamping, not just as a technical task, but as an archival, aesthetic, and philosophical practice.In Part One, the conversation begins by situating timestamping in broader historical and intellectual contexts. Panelists reflect on the epistemology of time, from ancient timekeeping and annalistic history to modern digital temporality. What does it mean to mark time, and how does a timestamp compare to a page number, an index, or a narrative structure?Part Two asks what it means to think critically about timestamping. Here, the guests draw on their scholarly practices to examine the subjectivity of timestamps, the tension between precision and ambiguity, and the role of annotation. The discussion turns to digital media's microtemporalities and how timestamps carry expressive, affective weight beyond their data function.In Part Three, the panel listens to an experimental performance by Jackson Mac Low and considers the challenge of timestamping layered or deliberately disorienting sound. What responsibilities do timestampers have in maintaining a balance between accessibility and artistic intention? Can timestamping illuminate without flattening?Part Four focuses on vocabulary. Why does it matter if we tag something as a “reading” versus a “performance”? How do controlled vocabularies shape what we can learn from large-scale literary audio corpora? This final section explores how even the smallest metadata decisions reflect theoretical commitments and institutional values.Ultimately, this episode makes one thing clear: timestamping is never neutral. It is an interpretive act, grounded in choices about meaning, representation, and access. From poetic performance to archival platforms, timestamping remains central to how we listen to—and understand—literary sound. Show Notes and Resources:Abel, Jordan. Nishga.

Camlot: “I would probably want to think of it as a dialectical relation between the timestamp, sort of the demarcated moment and times unfolding, and then the larger narrative account within which the timestamp has significance … like Susan Stewart's work on the souvenir … this sort of partial representation of a whole that can only be supplemented by narrative.”“Wolfgang Ernst (Media Theorist).” Wikipedia, Wikimedia Foundation, 12 Apr. 2024, en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfgang_Ernst_(media_theorist).More information about our participants can be found at: “Jason Camlot.” Concordia University, www.concordia.ca/faculty/jason-camlot.html.

STEVE HATCHER and ANDREW-MARK THOMPSON (plus guests!) on ACE OF WANDS and AN AUDIENCE WITH TAROT at DERBY QUAD.First broadcast on FAB RADIO INTERNATIONAL at 19:00 on April 20th 2025.On SATURDAY the 29TH of MARCH, our friend ANDREW-MARK THOMPSON along with his colleague STEVE HARDY organised an event at THE QUAD in DERBY to celebrate all things ACE OF WANDS, the popular (but largely now lost) children's fantasy drama series created by TREVOR PRESTON which was made and broadcast by THAMES TELEVISION for three years across 46 episodes, and 14 stories from 1970 to 1972.Two of the series' stars, TAROT himself MICHAEL MACKENZIE alongside PETRA MARKHAM who played MIKKI DIAMOND in the surviving third season, were on stage to answer questions and available to pose for photographs with fans, and two complete stories - THE MEDDLERS and PEACOCK PIE - were shown on the big screen, and, by all accounts it all went down rather well and was something of a success which hopefully might lead to other similar Archive TV themed events.I was unable to attend in person, but happily our old friend STEVE HATCHER was on hand and was able and willing to grab a few quick interviews with MICHAEL, PETRA, and co-organiser STEVE HARDY which will pop up during today's show, in which I am joined by STEVE HATCHER and ANDREW-MARK THOMPSON to talk all about the enduring appeal of ACE OF WANDS, as well as their experiences of the event itself.PLEASE NOTE - For Copyright reasons, musical content sometimes has to be removed for the podcast edition.

This week on Real Talk with Rachael, I'm chatting with author Michael MacKenzie about his book, Don't Blow Up Your Ministry: Defuse the Underlying Issues that Take Pastors Down. Dr. Michael MacKenzie is the executive director of Marble Retreat, an intensive counseling center for Christian leaders, and he is the supervisor of the Doctorate of Ministry Pastor Care track at Lincoln Christian University. A licensed professional counselor for 26 years specializing in caring for pastors, he has also been a chaplain and is an ordained pastor. He is an author, speaker, and teacher on ministry and counseling issues. Key Points from Our Conversation: People that work in ministry choose to do so to serve others, but often that can lead them to performance-based stress.  Ministry is stressful and Satan is cunning, so it's important to be aware of our own brokenness. When we begin to say yes out of guilt and fear, we are no longer motivated by love and freedom.  Fear of man seeps in when we're seeking love, value, and respect from others. It's a process to get the truth of God fully into our hearts, souls, and minds.  We are all works in progress, so have grace. Being aware of our wounds helps us respond with a different reaction. Most people in ministry are so focused on others, they don't inspect themselves and ask what's going on and why. What is my brokenness that's causing these situations? People in ministry can use hard work as a means to outwork their insecurities. We need to be aware of our motivations - when are we doing it for God and when does it become about ourselves? If you have trouble resting, ask what the fear is that's driving you on a deeper level. The most common problems for ministry leaders are isolation, unrealistic expectations, and poor boundaries. If you want to attack your root issues, pay attention and ask for God to reveal what you're missing and journey in relationship with others who can speak into your life. We can help care for church leaders by managing our expectations of them. Is there someone else who could assist me with my issue? Let's Get Real Practical: Is my life pace sustainable? If not, what needs to change? How am I really doing? How is my heart? Connect with Michael: website | Instagram | Facebook Connect with Rachael: website | Instagram | Facebook

How am I doing? You know, how am I feeling? Do I feel full? Or do I feel empty? Do I feel rejuvenated? Or do I feel drained? Do I feel peace? Or do I feel agitated? I mean, what's going on and then begin starting to ask the questions. Okay, Where's that coming from? What's causing that underneath? So you can go down another layer?"Michael MacKenzie on prioritizes the backstage of life in ministry: "One of the things that I find that we need to be careful of in this journey is, okay, I make ministry a priority, and it needs to be a priority. But do I make it such a priority that I don't have the time, energy, focus to put on these other important things like my marriage, my family responsibilities, even my own care?"-------Looking to dig more deeply into this topic and conversation?

“How come pastors do not often deal with the 'issues beneath the issues'?  They do not because they are pastors and because they are people.  Pastors do not deal with the real issues because they are pastors, and they do not deal with the real issues because they are people."--Michael MacKenzie, Don't Blow Up Your Ministry, p. 71Click HERE to download my free online course, "Leading Your Church Through Change."

He'll also share practical tips for getting back on track and finding balance.“I love getting to work with people in ministry.

Otto Dix fought in the First World War for the better part of four years before becoming one of the most important artists of the Weimar era. Marked by the experience, he made monumental, difficult and powerful works about it. Whereas Dix has often been presented as a lone voice of reason and opposition in Germany between the wars, this book locates his work squarely in the mainstream of Weimar society. Informed by recent studies of collective remembrance, of camaraderie, and of the popular, working-class socialist groups that commemorated the war, Michael Mackenzie's book Otto Dix and the First World War: Grotesque Humor, Camaraderie and Remembrance (Peter Lang, 2019) takes Dix's very public, monumental works out of the isolation of the artist's studio and returns them to a context of public memorials, mass media depictions, and the communal search for meaning in the war. The author argues that Dix sought to establish a community of veterans through depictions of the war experience that used the soldier's humorous, grotesque language of the trenches and that deliberately excluded women and other non-combatants. His depictions were preoccupied with heteronormativity in the context of intimate touch and tenderness between soldiers at the front and with sexual potency in the face of debilitating wounds suffered by others in the war.

Informed by recent studies of collective remembrance, of camaraderie, and of the popular, working-class socialist groups that commemorated the war, Michael Mackenzie's book Otto Dix and the First World War: Grotesque Humor, Camaraderie and Remembrance (Peter Lang, 2019) takes Dix's very public, monumental works out of the isolation of the artist's studio and returns them to a context of public memorials, mass media depictions, and the communal search for meaning in the war. The author argues that Dix sought to establish a community of veterans through depictions of the war experience that used the soldier's humorous, grotesque language of the trenches and that deliberately excluded women and other non-combatants. His depictions were preoccupied with heteronormativity in the context of intimate touch and tenderness between soldiers at the front and with sexual potency in the face of debilitating wounds suffered by others in the war.

Living Wholehearted cares deeply for leaders because we know when a leader lives and leads with integrity, everyone in their wake benefits. When they don't, everyone in their wake pays. It's just a matter of time. The news headlines continue to be filled with stories of leaders who waited too long to do their own inner life work and we think it's time to reverse the trend.   In episode 125, Jeff talks with a kindred leader working in similar trenches. Dr. Michael MacKenzie is the Executive Director of Marble Retreat, an intensive counseling center for Christian leaders, and the supervisor of the Doctorate of Ministry Pastor Care track at Lincoln Christian University. Dr. MacKenzie has been a licensed professional counselor for 25 years, specializing in caring for pastors. He has also been a chaplain and ordained pastor himself.  As an author, speaker and teacher on ministry and counseling issues in various settings, this conversation will be relevant to our listeners on many levels. Michael recently published a book, Don't Blow Up Your Ministry: Defuse the Underlying Issues That Take Pastors Down, addressing the common pitfalls pastors face, how to avoid them, and how to find healing and recovery after a fall.   To find out more about Dr. Michael MacKenzie and his ministry go to:   ONLINE - www.marbleretreat.org SOCIAL - Twitter - https://twitter.com/MichaelCMac Instagram - https://www.instagram.com/michael.mackenzie.106/   BOOK - Don't Blow Up Your Ministry - https://ivpress.com/don-t-blow-up-your-ministry   Subscribe to the #living_wholeheartedpodcast anywhere you find your podcasts.   Instagram @TerraMattson @Living_Wholehearted @MyCourageousGirls #living_wholeheartedpodcast #shrinkingtheintegritygap Facebook @MyCourageousGirls @WeAreLivingWholehearted Websites LivingWholehearted.com TerraMattson.com MyCourageousGirls.com MyCourageousBook.com   Resources Shrinking the Integrity Gap (book) Shrinking the Integrity Gap e-Course Courageous: Being Daughters Rooted in Grace (book) Dear Mattsons (youtube series)

03/10/2022 – Michael MacKenzie –Counselor and retreat center director, helping to defuse the issues that can take Christian leaders down.

In this week's episode of the Unhurried Living podcast, I'm talking with Mike MacKenzie from Marble Retreat in Colorado about the issues that lie under our issues. He's written a book called Don't Blow Up Your Ministry that highlights how we sometimes think that if only we could solve our tiredness or our struggles with temptation we'd be all set, when in fact there are often deeper issues that are draining us or making us more vulnerable. For example, Mike shares that a lot of us in Christian leadership have an immense amount of intellectual knowledge of spiritual disciplines, of spiritual formation, or of any number of good things for our souls. But, the challenge is that we know them but don't act on them much. Jesus said something very interesting in the Upper Room after he'd washed his disciples' feet. He said, “Now that you know these things, you will be blessed if you do them (Jn 13:17).” 

Michael MacKenzie, the Executive Director of Marble Retreat and the author of Don't Blow Up Your Ministry, has been working with pastors in crisis for a long time.  In this episode, Michael will help us understand not only the danger signs of an impending ministry blow-up, but also how to heal after we've blown up our ministry.THIS EPISODE'S HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE:Michael MacKenzie is Executive Director of Marble Retreat and the author of Don't Blow Up Your Ministry.Michael shares what led him to his ministry with Marble Retreat.Michael MacKenzie describes what he means by a “blown up ministry.”Burnout results when the stresses of ministry combine with the pastor's own brokenness.Potential stressors include: people-pleasing, avoidance of conflict, and so forth.To avoid these pitfalls, pastors should be on the lookout for:  resentment, exhaustion, lack of joy, lack of peace, lack of passion.Pride and success can also lead to a blown-up ministry when pastors cross certain unhealthy and inappropriate boundaries.Michael MacKenzie shares why failure can be better for the soul than success.Michael explains the differences between large churches and small churches and how that affects a pastors well-being.Healthy relationships are critical for healthy ministry leadership.One way to build relationships is to pick up a hobby that other people do.Michael MacKenzie reflects on the connection between confession and healing.RELEVANT RESOURCES AND LINKS:Marble Retreat websiteBooks mentioned:Don't Blow Up Your Ministry, by Michael MacKenzieRenovation of the Heart, by Dallas WillardWorks of Love, by Soren KierkegaardSubscribe to Rhythms of Leadership in your favorite podcast app or listen HERE.

Also, a reminder that we'll be doing a FREE webinar next week.  I'll be interviewing Michael MacKenzie about his new book “Don't Blow Up Your Ministry.”  It's a great book for pastors, ministry leaders – and those who care about them.  Though the webinar is FREE, you do need to sign up.  To do so, look for the link in my daily MinistryWatch emails.  We're limiting this webinar to 150 people, and we're more than halfway there, so sign up soon.

Today I'm pleased to have back on the program Ron Sellers, the president of Grey Matter Research and Consulting.   Ron Sellers and I discuss a new study his organization has done in conjunction with Infinity Concepts.  That study was published a week ago, and it's called “The Generation Gap:  Evangelical Giving Preferences.” Before we jump into that interview, I just want to note that we will have a way for you to get a copy of this nearly 40-page report in the show notes. https://greymatterresearch.com/articles-studies/ Before we go:  A few quick notes. First, regular listeners to the podcast know that this is not the first time Ron Sellers has been on the program.  If you are a ministry leader, and you're new to the program, you might want to give a listen to some of his previous appearances on the program.  His research provides insights into evangelical giving patterns that are helpful. Just go to the MinistryWatch website and type Ron Sellers into the search engine. Also, a quick reminder that we have a webinar coming up next week.  It will feature Michael MacKenzie and his new book “Don't Blow Up Your Ministry.”  We'll discuss some of the issues that take pastors and ministry leaders down – and how to avoid them.  I think this book and webinar are essentials for ministry leaders and pastors, but also for lay people who are grieved by the high-profile implosions of ministry leaders.  That webinar is February 16 at 3 pm ET.  It's free, but you do have to sign up.  Look for a sign-up link in my daily emails, or you can find it in the show notes of this episode: https://www.eventbrite.com/e/dont-blow-up-your-ministry-a-conversation-with-michael-mackenzie-tickets-260567673927 I also want to remind you that we take no money from the ministries we cover.  There's no advertising on our website.  We are completely listener and reader funded.  If you'd like to make a donation to MinistryWatch, just go to MinistryWatch.com and hit the donate tab at the top of the page.  For a gift during the month of February, we'll send you a “thank you” gift of Michael MacKenzie's book.  So a gift to us this month helps us a lot, and you'll add an important new book to your library. If money is a little tight now…hey, I get it.  Been there a time or two myself.  You can still help the program.  Just rate us on your podcast app.  The more ratings we get, the higher we rank with search engines, and that means other people can find us more easily.  Rating us just takes a second, and it doesn't cost you a dime.  It's a free and easy – and important – way you can support the MinistryWatch podcast. The producers for today's program are Rich Roszel and Ben Warwick. We get database and other technical support from Cathy Goddard, Stephen DuBarry, and Casey Sudduth. I'm Warren Smith, and – until next time – May God bless you.
