Podcast appearances and mentions of Michael Schwarz

It is not hyperbole to say that Stephen Sondheim was among the most important creative voices in 20th Century American musical theater. From the 1950s through to the 2020s, he wrote the lyrics, music, or both for some of the most critically and commercially successful shows of our lifetimes. Sondheim's shows are beloved not only for their incredibly catchy songs, but also for their insightful stories exploring the nature of art, history, and most importantly, the fragile and fault-riddled human condition. Though we lost Mr. Sondheim in 2021, the Great Pop Culture Debate wants to look back on his works as we attempt to name the Best Stephen Sondheim Musical of all time.Musicals discussed: Sweeney Todd, Saturday Night, West Side Story, Merrily We Roll Along, Passion, Sunday in the Park with George, A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Forum, Assassins, Pacific Overtures, A Little Night Music, Into the Woods, Anyone Can Whistle, Gypsy, FolliesJoin host Eric Rezsnyak and panelists Kevin Dillon, Michael Schwarz, and Trey Radu-Blackburn as they discuss and debate 16 of Sondheim's most enduring works.For the warm-up to this episode, in which we discuss our personal experiences with Sondheim shows, and the Sondheim shows that didn't make the bracket, become a Patreon supporter of the podcast today.

In “Virginia Has the Blue Catfish Blues,”Gravy reporter Anya Groner takes listeners to the Chesapeake Bay, where, over the past decade, invasive blue catfish have derailed the ecosystem in the East Coast's largest fish nursery. Native to the Mississippi, Missouri, and Ohio River basins, blue catfish were first stocked in the bay's tributary rivers in the 1970s to provide a new trophy fish for recreational anglers. At the time, no one predicted that a freshwater catfish could make its way into the brackish waters of the Chesapeake Bay, much less outcompete native crabs, oysters, and fish. The impact has been devastating for the environment and for the seafood industry. Generational watermen are going out of business, and most of the fishmongers who buy and process their catch have shut their doors. Yet, Dr. Michael Schwarz, associate director of Virginia Tech's Seafood and Agricultural Research & Extension Center, says there's a lucrative way to manage the population of this expanding apex predator and reinvigorate the seafood industry.  Blue catfish happen to be delicious. Studies show that managed correctly, a blue catfish fishery could have an economic impact of $1.1 billion and create 7,000 new jobs. “ The easiest solution for anything is to eat it,” says Kyle Rowley, the chief operating officer of Skrimp Shack, a fourteen-restaurant franchise in Virginia and North Carolina. As a topwater predator, blue catfish don't have the muddy flavor sometimes associated with farmed catfish. And Rowley says, they fry beautifully. Three years ago, he added blue catfish to Skrimp Shack's menu. “We're doing something right that is actually helping our fellow Virginians, and we enjoy that.” But building a market for an invasive species is an inherent conflict of interest, says Dr. Mary Fabrizio, a biologist at the Virginia Institute of Marine Science. “Basically you're starting the fishery to put itself out of business,” she says. If the fishery is as lucrative as some predict it can be, the goal could switch from shrinking the population to maintaining it. Fabrizio's computer models show that unless a very high number of catfish are pulled from the bay, culling catfish won't rejuvenate native fish. Join Groner as she travels from the docks of the Chesapeake Bay to marine labs and restaurants, asking watermen, fishmongers, scientists, and restaurateurs to ask what it will take to build a blue catfish market and whether it's possible to balance the needs of the seafood industry and the ecosystem.

At Intersolar San Diego, Sean White meets Michael Schwarz, General Manager for growth at Arch O&M, about operations and maintenance for solar projects. Schwarz describes O&M as the “service shop” for PV systems, with days driven by shifting schedules, customer and technician calls, and occasional field work. Arch focuses mainly on commercial/industrial and ground-mount systems roughly 400 kW to 20 MW, with maintenance needs increasing around years 7–9. They handle preventive work such as IV curve testing (often with Fluke), drone flights, insulation resistance (“megger”) testing, and troubleshooting, and they increasingly specialize in wind and storm damage remediation. They discuss challenges of sourcing matching replacement modules for older arrays, Arch's emphasis on training and growing talent, NABCEP's PV Commissioning and Maintenance Specialist certification and upcoming O&M associate credential, and the NABCEP conference in Milwaukee.   Topics Covered: O&M = Operations and Maintenance CapEx = Capital Expenditure OpEx = Operational Expenditure PV Maintenance           NABCEP PVCMS Certification NABCEP Conference Milwaukee, Wisconsin Harley Davidson Museum Electric cruiser bike Electric adventure bike IV curve testing Insulation resistance training Megometer Arch O&M training programs OMAT = O&M Associate Technician   Reach out to Michael Schwarz here: LinkedIn: www.linkedin.com/in/michael-schwarz-ms-lod-lean123 Website: www.archsolar.com   Learn more at www.solarSEAN.com and be sure to get NABCEP certified by taking Sean's classes at: www.heatspring.com/sean www.solarsean.com/pvcms

Ein Blick in die Historie von Ausspeisungen, Notquartieren und Obdachlosenhilfe in Wien.

The Chesapeake Bay is ballooning with an apex predator that can only be defeated with grease and breading – blue catfish! They were introduced to Virginia's freshwater rivers in the 70s and 80s for recreational fishing. Now, the Bay is teeming with 700 million to 1 billion pounds of blue catfish. Michael Schwarz says that we can restore balance to the bay by eating the fresh, white saltwater catfish filet. And it's best served fried! And: Growing up, Maurica Bynum smelled the funk of the Franklin County paper mill and collected water samples with her parents who were water treatment operators. Now, she brings her childhood experience with public health and environmentalism to the classroom, preparing the next generation of public health experts. Later in the show: Indigenous people throughout the Amazon basin understand themselves to be deeply connected to the more-than-human world. So the pollution of waterways and loss of biodiversity is not just an environmental loss, it's a loss of spiritual protection and livelihood. Jeremy Larochelle says that indigenous amazonian people honor poets as much as they honor the fishermen. And poets like Juan Carlos Galeans and Ana Varela Tafur are sounding the alarm about the urgent need to save the Amazon by honoring it.

While Christmas is typically the time to snuggle up with friends and family to watch beloved the same corny, nostalgic favorites we return to every year, for filmmakers the holiday season is a surprisingly fertile ground for a very different form of entertainment: horror films. There are literally dozen of Christmas horror films currently in existence, and seemingly more every year. They use the Christmas festivities as a counterpoint for the bloody work of serial killers, monsters, or legendary figures from folklore. Forget Season's Greetings and a Cup of Good Cheer; for these movies, it's all about Season's Beatings and a Cup of Good FEAR. So join the Great Pop Culture Debate for a very different holiday special as it explores the Best Holiday Horror Films.Movies discussed: Black Christmas (1974); Silent Night, Deadly Night; Rare Exports; Silent Night (2021); Violent Night; Christmas, Bloody Christmas; Terrifier 3; Better Watch Out; Gremlins; P2; Jack Frost (1997); Black Christmas (2006); Krampus; It's a Wonderful Knife; A Christmas Horror Story; Anna and the ApocalypseJoin host Eric Rezsnyak and GPCD panelists Karissa Kloss, Michael Schwarz, and Zack Derby as they discuss and debate 16 brutal holiday horror films.

While fantasy films have existed almost as long as cinema, the genre cast a particularly potent spell on the movies of the 1970s and especially the 1980s. Studios needed new horizons for adventure films, and bigger budgets led to awe-inspiring tales of warriors and wizards, magic and dragons. Fans of high fantasy films were awash in epic tales in the last quarter of the 20th Century. So strap on your shield and sandals as the Great Pop Culture Debate begins its quest to name the Best Fantasy Film from 1975 to 1999. Movies discussed: The NeverEnding Story, Ladyhawke, The Princess Bride, The Hobbit, Legend, Masters of the Universe, The Last Unicorn, Labyrinth, Willow, The Beastmaster, The Black Cauldron, Conan the Destroyer, Clash of the Titans, Army of Darkness, Excalibur, The Dark Crystal Join host Eric Rezsnyak and GPCD panelists Bob Erlenback, Kevin Dillon, and Michael Schwarz as they discuss 16 of the most fantastical movies from the end of the 20th Century.

Somewhere around the mid-1970s, Hollywood studios realized that the summer months were the perfect launching point for their most-expensive, highest-profile projects. With kids out of school, families needed something to do. The prestigious Oscar-bait timeframe was half a year away. And people welcomed an opportunity to get out of the sun and into a dark, air-conditioned room to watch grown men get eaten by dinosaurs whilst using the toilet, and countless cars exploding for no discernible reason. Billions of dollars have been made by summer blockbusters, and even a few awards have ben won by them. So for the first of our 2025 Summer Specials, we want to look back at those mega-grossing pictures and try to determine the best Summer Blockbuster Film of all time. Movies discussed: Jurassic Park, Pirates of the Caribbean: Curse of the Black Pearl, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Ghostbusters, Grease, Shrek, Star Wars Episode IV: A New Hope, The Dark Knight, The Lion King, Twister, Barbie, Raiders of the Lost Ark, Jaws, Independence Day, Iron Man, Back to the Future.

In Episode 216, Dave starts the show with his tin foil hat due to the pearl clutching as a result of fencing going up in DC for the 4th of July festivities. However, there may be other nefarious forces at work behind the fencing. After that, he discusses the announcement that we're going to suspend shipping munitions to Ukraine. From there, Dave gleefully discusses the UPenn 180 in order to get ahold of the Fed dollars. He closes the show by passionately decrying the lack of planning by conservative minded legislative members of Congress or in law firms nationwide as another agenda driven leftist judge finds a loophole to thwart our deportation wishes.

Carol and Michael Schwarz are both accomplished goldsmiths, not only living on Maui, but thriving as artists. They are now winding down in their careers and enjoying a slower, more balanced life tending to their land and creating beautiful gold jewelry with the mana of the island running through each piece.  When I found Carol and Michael I was intrigued by their off grid lifestyle and their ability to thrive as artists living in the most expensive state in the US. We talk about how they've been able to build a sustainable living over the years and how the beauty and energy of Maui inspires their work.  Carol shares her story of having a premonition that led her to Michael, marking the start of a magical journey together. We discuss how they work collaboratively and individually, how they prioritize aesthetic value over monetary value in their pieces, and the expense of have tools and casting investment shipped to the island. And friends, if you need a momentary break, I recommend that you head to their website after this episode and watch the video on their home page. There you will fly to their beautiful property and off grid studio. You'll see and hear about their process, a stone collection that I'm sure most of us would be envious of, and of course their beautiful work. Follow Carol & Michael...

This week's guest is the CEO and founder of Treeline Cheesemakers, Michael Schwarz. Treeline Cheesemakers is a dairy-free vegan cheese made in upstate  New York. We talk about his decision to become vegan in 2011 and how that compelled him to leave his job as a lawyer and build Treeline. Often business leaders speak in platitudes, but this is not one of those interviews. Michael brought conviction, clarity of our moral obligations, and a convincing rationale for why we all should be vegan. We talk about the science behind cashew cheese, how he landed his first clients, and how we all can do our part to stop animal cruelty.

Today, I am joined by Michael Schwarz, Founder and CEO of Treeline Cheese. Michael grew up in South Africa, in a family of prominent opponents to the apartheid regime. It is there that he developed his sense of justice and fair play for all. He had always enjoyed fine European cheeses but when he found out just how cruel the production of dairy products is, he decided that he had to try and change things. So he gave up dairy and his 25 year career as an intellectual property lawyer and turned his attention to making vegan cheese. Treeline was born in his kitchen over a decade ago. Michael started selling his new cheese door to door, trying to convince stores to take a chance on what was then an unknown product. Treeline soon became a favorite at vegan markets and festivals. Treeline cheese is now available in thousands of stores nationwide, including Whole Foods, Sprouts, Wegmans and many independents. It was recently named best vegan cheese by tastingtable.com, thedailymeal.com and USA Today (of which I was one of the experts on the panel who created the list readers voted on!).

Growing up in South Africa to a family of activists and witnessing the devastating effects of apartheid, today's guest, Michael Schwarz, had his moral compass set to true north at an early age.    Driven by a profound sense of justice and a desire to combat the deleterious effects dairy has on our planet, he decided to step away from a 25-year career as an intellectual property lawyer and change the food industry by launching Treeline cheese – an independent vegan cheese company.    Michael also appeared in episode 76, where we learned all about his remarkable upbringing, the incredible work his father did as a defense attorney – including the trial of Nelson Mandela, where Michael's father defended Mandela's co-defendant and won – and how he made the transition from being a lawyer himself to a vegan cheese entrepreneur.   So if you're interested in learning what it's like to run a small vegan cheese company in an era where conglomerates want to take over the industry with cheap knockoffs – and powerful entities like the dairy lobby of Canada are after you – you definitely want to tune in!    “Is the division of Kraft that makes plant-based Philadelphia ever going to be on this show and try to talk against what's going on in the dairy farms and the slaughterhouses that Kraft is supplying, or that are supplying Kraft? That's never going to happen. And if vegan food is now in the control of these large nonvegan companies, they will stifle voices for animal rights.” - Michael Schwarz   What we discuss in this episode: - How the Canadian dairy lobby is trying to block Michael's trademark. - The threat vegan products pose to Big Dairy. - How meat and dairy conglomerates are hurting vegan brands and working to inhibit progress. - Tips for consumers to navigate making purchases that align with their ethics.  - How Michael makes Treeline cheeses more environmentally friendly. - Why it's important to support smaller vegan brands. - Treeline's delicious new products and plans for the future.    Resources: - Treeline Cheese: https://www.treelinecheese.com/ - Switch4Good podcast episode 76: Ethics + Business with Treeline Cheese Founder Michael Schwarz - Switch4Good - Steven Colbert clip   ★☆★ Click the link below to support the ADD SOY Act! https://switch4good.org/add-soy-act/ ★☆★ Share the website and get your resources here https://kidsandmilk.org/ ★☆★ Send us a voice message and ask a question.

#103 Make Leitungswasser Great Again mit Michael Schwarz von FUNQDrei einzigartige Geschichten: selbstständig geworden, bei Agenturen, in Corporates und die überwiegende Zeit des Berufslebens bei Coca-Cola verbracht. Fast 15 Jahre waren es. Eine prägende Phase. Dabei wurde viel gelernt, viel erlebt und viel geschaffen. Doch der Wunsch wuchs, eine eigene Spur zu hinterlassen. Aus Erfahrungen und Verbesserungsideen etwas Neues zu kreieren. Also begann ein neues Kapitel von Grund auf. Mit dem Ziel, täglich kleine Veränderungen zu bewirken und vielleicht etwas Großes zu schaffen.Getränke kaufen, nach Hause tragen, kurz genießen und dann die Verpackung entsorgen oder sie zu Pfandbergen werden lassen. Es wird Zeit, Trinkgewohnheiten zu verändern! Leitungswasser wertzuschätzen und zu genießen? Klingt verlockend, aber was ist mit dem Geschmack? Hier kommt die Lösung! Es geht nicht nur um einen weiteren Sirup, sondern um mehr Qualität: Mehr Geschmack, mehr natürliche Zutaten, mehr Genuss beim Selbstmischen und viel weniger von dem, was man nicht möchte: Weniger Klebrigkeit, weniger Kalorien, weniger Zucker (genau genommen, ohne Zuckerzusatz) und weniger Abfall.Mit FUNQ' belebst du Leitungswasser. Erhalte mehr mit weniger!Lust auf neues Trinken?Fertiggetränke haben durch Transport, Kühlung oder Verpackung erhebliche Klimaauswirkungen.In Europa verbraucht jeder rund 120-180 Plastikflaschen jährlich² und schadet damit nicht nur sich selbst³, sondern auch dem Planeten⁴.Für die Liebe zum Leitungswasser87 % der Erfrischungsgetränke werden daheim konsumiert⁵ – wo in den meisten europäischen Ländern sicherer Zugang zu Leitungswasser besteht.⁶Selbstgemischte Getränke anstelle von Fertiggetränken reduzieren den CO2-Fußabdruck um mindestens 85%.⁷Mischen? Absolut möglich!Das ist die Mission! Mit FUNQ' eine neue Trinkkultur prägen. Es geht um das Was und das Wie des Trinkens.Das Ziel? Flaschengetränke überflüssig zu machen. Der Weg? FUN(Q') zum Leitungswasser hinzufügen! Erfrischender Geschmack, einfach selbst gemischt und so wenig Abfall wie möglich. Tschüss, Flaschen!Verifizierter Partner von OCEAN COStändige Optimierung und Nachhaltigkeit der Produkte sowie der Verpackung sind Grundprinzipien.Perfektion ist noch nicht erreicht. Die Verpackung besteht zu 82 % aus pflanzlichem Material und ist recyclebar – ein toller Schritt! Dennoch enthalten die Tetra Paks 3,2 g Plastik. Das ist aktuell noch gegeben, doch es gibt Ausgleichsbemühungen. Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
