Podcast appearances and mentions of Mike Daisey

Grad student Helen Lyle is determined to find out why the residents of the Cabrini-Green housing development in Chicago are petrified by the Candyman, a ghost who allegedly appears if you say his name in the mirror five times.  After jokingly summoning him with Trevor, her philandering professor husband, Helen heads to Cabrini-Green with her pal Bernadette to interview residents and track down the truth. Instead she discovers what might just be the Candyman's lair, an abandoned apartment laid out strangely like her own.  Soon enough, she's standing face to face with the man himself.  And he hasn't brought a bag of Skittles.  This guy's got a hook for a hand, bees on his knees, and a desire to possess Helen, who may or may not resemble the woman he once loved.  After her encounter with the Man, Helen awakes to find herself on the floor of an bathroom covered in blood, her crazy nightmare just beginning.

本集主題：「長樂路：上海一條馬路上的大城市夢」新書介紹 專訪：林進韋企劃 ▲橫跨三個世代，在上海一條馬路上共築大城市夢 ▲每個真實人生故事，都是當今中國百姓的希望與哀愁 ▲旅居中國二十年的美國記者，勾勒出當今中國面貌 「人們總是心懷大夢，無論處於中國哪個角落的個人夢想，或是宏大的中國夢……這是一個獨一無二的時代，我希望能捕捉這個時代的細微感受。」──史密茲（Rob Schmitz） 今日的上海是國際大都市，也處於巨大變革，每日有無數懷抱上海夢的人子，不斷湧入這個以資本、想法與機會交織而成的洪流中。美國知名記者史密茲就是其中一位。 1996年，他以和平隊（Peace Corps）志願者身分首次抵達中國四川，2010年遷居上海後六年，決定以自己生活環境為主題書寫中國。他居住在上海前法租界的長樂路，不但融入當地生活，更與居民發展深厚情誼。本書描繪這些尋常小人物，如何從上海的天際線看到未來天光，又如何創造命運的新機會。 書中的陳凱，八○後，從一個小城的國家企業「逃」到外省，靠銷售義大利手風琴賺到第一桶金，後來和友人合開一家小店；他是中國未來的象徵，有文化但憤怒的年輕人，他的夢想失落於大城市與鄉村之間。另位書中人物傅大嬸，五○後，是資本主義擁護者，不斷找尋快速致富的方法；她是失落的一代，一生過著挫折又貧窮，對現在中國的不平等，表現出憤世疾俗。令作者驚訝的是一盒塵封數十年的神祕信件，裡頭滿是無止盡的權勢與貪婪，不但改變荒蕪社區人民的命運，揭開的不僅是一個家庭的過去，更是中國黑暗的歷史。 這本關於21世紀中國尋常百姓的人生故事，以各具特色的人物描繪每個世代，讀者透過本書能了解這些人追尋夢想的盼望與哀愁。由旅居中國二十年的美國記者，以上海長樂路的真實故事與生活其中的尋常人家為主角，勾勒出當今中國社會的真實面貌，交織成精彩生動的眾生相。 作者簡介：羅伯‧史密茲（Rob Schmitz） 哥倫比亞大學新聞學碩士，國家廣播電台（NPR）、廣播媒體Marketplace駐上海記者。1996年，以和平隊（Peace Corps）志願者身分首次到中國。他是第二位獲得蘋果與富士康同意，進入工廠採訪的記者。2012年，因撰文批判美國男演員戴西（Mike Daisey）在電視上捏造富士康血汗工廠，而獲得「調查記者與編輯獎」（IRE Awards ）。他曾獲頒穆羅獎（Edward R. Murrow Award），教育作者協會（EWA）獎章。此書是他的第一本著作。

Notebooks versus computers! Mike Daisey! Donald Trump! Brexit! Elitism in art! Today's episode, in a lot of ways, is about the limits and consequences of the truth. It features Paul Neafcy and Leslie Datsis, and the opening monologue (which isn't quite at the opening, because I am a rebel) is basically a Rock and Sock and Robot episode--if you are familiar. Thanks for listening. Hey, write a review on iTunes sometime, why don't you? I'd like that a lot!

It’s a double shot of troubling realizations from 2012, with Luke literally waking up stranded in Wedgwood with no memory of how he got there, and an update on the demise of insufferable sensationalist Mike Daisey. Simply put, it’s a kind of magic. This Friday episode of Little Red Bandwagon features nearly all of TBTL episode 1040, DaiseyGate Continues!, which aired on Monday, March 19, 2012.

Within the past few decades, China has undergone a series of profound social changes stemming from globalization and its own domestic economic reforms and political development. Cultural attitudes deeply embedded in China for centuries have changed seemingly overnight with the expansion of the Chinese middle class. Perhaps no city in China quite exemplifies this colossal transformation like Shanghai. Once a moderately sized port city, Shanghai has quickly become a sprawling global financial and cultural center rivaling New York and London. The economic promise of Shanghai has attracted millions of Chinese and foreigners alike seeking to partake in the seeming torrent of capital, ideas, and opportunity. One of these dreamers is Rob Schmitz, who traveled to Shanghai as a correspondent for Marketplace. While immersing himself in his neighborhood, Mr. Schmitz encountered a web of individuals whose life stories together portray the mosaic of contemporary China. In his new book, Street of Eternal Happiness, Schmitz narrates the experiences of these everyday people, and the hardships many have endured in their struggle to adapt to an ever-changing China. As he became more involved in their lives, Schmitz made surprising discoveries that reveal a family’s – and country’s - dark past, and an abandoned neighborhood where fates have been violently altered by unchecked power and greed. A tale of 21st century China, Street of Eternal Happiness profiles China’s distinct generations through individuals whose lives illuminate an enlightening, humorous, and at times heartrending journey along the winding road to the Chinese Dream. Each story adds another layer of humanity and texture to modern China. The result is an intimate and surprising portrait that dispenses with the tired stereotypes of a country we think we know, presenting us instead with the vivid stories of the people who make up one of the world’s most captivating cities. Join us as Rob Schmitz launches his book with the National Committee on May 17, in New York City. Rob Schmitz is the China correspondent for American Public Media's Marketplace, the largest business news program in the U.S. with more than 12 million listeners a week. Mr. Schmitz has won several awards for his reporting on China, including two national Edward R. Murrow awards and an Education Writers Association award. His work was also a finalist for the 2012 Investigative Reporters and Editors Award. His reporting in Japan — from the hardest-hit areas near the failing Fukushima nuclear power plant following the 2011 earthquake and tsunami — was included in the publication “100 Great Stories,” celebrating the centennial of Columbia University’s Journalism School. In 2012, Rob exposed the fabrications in Mike Daisey’s account of Apple’s supply chain on This American Life. His report was featured in the show’s “Retraction” episode, the most downloaded episode in the program’s 16-year history. The National Committee on U.S.-China Relations is the leading nonprofit nonpartisan organization that encourages understanding of China and the United States among citizens of both countries.

Monologuist Mike Daisey joins us to talk about the scandal he found himself in last year when he was caught in a series of lies.

With Kirsty Lang. The Agony And The Ecstasy Of Steve Jobs is a one-man theatre piece by Mike Daisey, describing the appeal of Apple products and a visit Mike made to a factory where they're made in China. Created in 2010, the piece hit controversy this March, when the US Public Radio show This American Life revealed that some elements of the show were not true. Mike Daisey has come to the UK to perform the piece, and he discusses his response to the controversy. Shirley Hughes is a much-loved picture-book maker for younger children and has illustrated more than 200 books. She's now written her first novel, aimed at older children and teenagers, set in occupied Italy during the 1939-45 war. She discusses her choice of subject and the experience of writing for an older readership. Sandra Hebron reviews Goodbye First Love, an acclaimed film about first love set against the backdrop of modern Paris. International hit US TV dramas In Treatment and Homeland are versions of shows first created in Israel. Naomi Alderman considers why Israeli programmes are proving so popular. Producer Stephen Hughes.

When monologist Mike Daisey was caught fibbing on This American Life, it got me thinking about competing definitions of truth—artistic and journalistic—and the way they get blurred by storytelling. In part 1 of today's show, I spoke to Craig Silverman, who's written about fact-checking and who monitors journalistic accuracy in his blog Regret the Error. In part 2, erstwhile fact-checker Jim Fingal, co-author with John D'Agata of the book "The Lifespan of a Fact."

Rob Schmitz is the Shanghai bureau chief foe American Public Radio's Marketplace. he broke the story about Mike Daisey, showing that Daisey's reporting on Chinese factory workers for This American Life was full of fabrication. He talks about that story, about reporting in China, and the problems trying to understand the vast, rapidly changing country.

China's economic rise is one of the most dramatic and complex stories of our time. Reporting on the rapid and sweeping changes underway in there and what those changes mean for the Chinese and everybody else is a great challenge. One reporter who does this consistently well is Marketplace's Rob Schmitz. He's helped us understand a wide range of stories from currency debates and stimulus spending to inflation worries and how families seek to prepare their children to compete in the global economy. In March he generated a lot of discussion by reporting that a widely heard and discussed report about conditions at FoxConn factories turning out Apple and other products had been fabricated. His report led to an unprecedented retraction of Mike Daisey's story by This American Life. Schmitz joined Marketplace in 2010. Prior to that, he was the Los Angeles bureau chief for KQED's The California Report. He's also reported for KPCC (89.3), and as a reporter for Minnespota Public Radio. Prior to his radio career, Schmitz lived and worked in China; first as a teacher in the Peace Corps, then as a freelance print and video journalist.

Mike Daisey made headlines for telling tales, and may just have deflated the importance of the whole issue as major media lampoons him. Marketers have a new tool from the GOOG that will help organize and quantify social analytics, but don't worry: Facebook and Twitter won't play with it.

British director John Tiffany, who had a huge success with the play Black Watch, is now working on a Broadway musical version of the romantic film Once. The film, set in Dublin, won an Oscar in 2007 for best original song - but wasn't a musical. John Tiffany discusses how he's brought an Irish bar to the New York stage. Writer Lyndsay Faye's new crime thriller, Gods Of Gotham, is set in 1840s New York, when the city's police force was founded. Much of the novel is written in Flash, the criminal slang of the day, which was documented by the city's first police chief. Lyndsay Faye reflects on how she researched the era. Kirsty visits Lincoln Hospital, in the South Bronx, where they've introduced a scheme to allow artists and performers without health insurance to trade their creative talents for treatment. Writer and performer Mike Daisey is a self-confessed geek, whose latest show, The Agony And Ecstasy Of Steve Jobs, describes his love affair with technology. He describes how this led him to China, to seek out the workers who labour in the factories assembling Apple's computers - and he reveals what he found.

It's a clip show-palooza this week, also known as an outtakes episode! The 48th episode of How Was Your Week features all-new content from Julie, who is still recovering from her "sore trote," and did not wish to infect new interview subjects with it, because she is a nice and civilized person. Therefore! This week's episode features never-before heard footage from four terrific guests:  -PATTON OSWALT, who explains his opinion on whether inventors are weirder than magicians! -MIKE DAISEY, who reveals what Steve Wozniak ordered when they lunched together! -JOHN MULANEY, who reminisces on that insane "Breaking Bad" Season Three finale! and -TED LEO, who explains the origins of the How Was Your Week theme song! Also in this episode, Julie discusses her emotional takeaway from watching the major motion picture ALBERT NOBBS, how Walgreens integrates social networking into its mission of selling lube to people, Debra Messing's character's arc on SMASH, and how fun last night's HWYWLive show was. (It was extremely fun.) A fun episode for fans of the show both new and old!  

On this week's episode of How Was Your Week? storyteller MIKE DAISEY joins Julie to discuss his hatred of Powerpoint, why nostalgia is dangerous, the intimacy we have with our cell phones and his new show, "The Agony of The Ecstasy of Steve Jobs." Then, "Happy Endings" writer and humorous/delightful Jewish person GIL OZERI talks about his problems with the Quentin Tarantino film Inglorious Basterds. Other Hebraic tropes are discussed as well! Also, Julie contemplates Thanksgiving and its attendant fixings including but not limited to The Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade, Twilight versus The Muppets, boiled foods versus savory bland November stuffing things, and what is visually sacred about The Monkees, still.  Plus: Facebook Weirdos! Men and Their Ideas! How this country rewards (one of) its dancing veterans! And the villiany of Hannah Storm. A special note: I forgot to read Ben Brantley's review of Hugh Jackman's show, even after I promised I would. I'm sorry. Please read it here instead, and use my voice in your head while you do. --J
