My Very Special Guest Today is Debbie Wileman - Her debut Album is "I'm Still Here" featuring many of Judy's classics as well as other contemporary hits that she believes Judy would be singing today. The album was orchestrated, conducted and produced by Steve Orich, orchestrator of the Grammy Award Winning album, Jersey Boys. This is a story for all of you artists out there who have a dream, but are overwhelmed by the seemingly massive obstacles to overcome to reach those dreams Debbie Wileman rose to fame during the pandemic when all the creatives - got creative! Debbie used her instrument (her voice) as an outlet and created ‘a song a day' which simply were videos of her dressed in character and singing. The videos were posted on her personal Facebook page and were only intended to uplift and inspire her friends in the height of the pandemic (at the time it was 300 some odd friends) Now she nearing max capacity on a personal page! Anywho, back then, she pledged to post 'a song a day' - That went on for 100 consecutive days. Among these videos were her spot on Judy Garland impersonations (in addition to Dusty Springfield, Patsy Cline, Liza Minnelli, Shirley Bassey, Adele, Lady Gaga and many other luminaries). Her song a day videos went viral and garnered over 1 million hits in no time. The videos also caught the attention of Steve Orich, the Grammy Award winning orchestrator (Jersey Boys) and manager / promoter/ producer, Scott Stander. The two of them have produced Debbie's debut album, "I'm Still Here”, a Judy Garland celebratory album featuring her songs and songs that they felt Judy would sing today. Debbie recorded “Over the Rainbow' in the very same room at MGM Studios that Garland recorded in 84 years ago. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cR03zR5IUyk The album released on June 10th, what would have been Garland's 100th Birthday. She also embarked on a 5 city US tour including stops in Fort Lauderdale, Orlando, New York City (Carnegie Hall!), Provincetown, MA and ending in LA. She always sang but never pursued a career as she put her family first. Now that a Grammy Award winning orchestrator and manager went knocking on her door, she has an album and just finished a US tour. Talk about the power of social media! She is thrilled to be taking this leap of faith. Debbie Wileman is a 38 year-old suburban mum living in North Essex, England with her husband and four-year old daughter. She has also become a social media singing sensation during the global pandemic, capturing world-wide attention as a Judy Garland phenomenon. Debbie new album, I'm Still Here, conducted and produced by Grammy Award Winner Steve Orich, and Executive Produced by Scott Stander, debuted on June 10, 2022, on Judy's 100th Birthday. Debbie on Social: Facebook: facebook.com/debbie.saloman Instagram: @debwileman/ The new album has reached #2 on easy listening chart! “I had the pleasure of listening to Debbie Wileman's homage to Judy. All I can say is Judy would have loved Debbie. She has captured Judy's musical essence along with her love of lyrics. This is a beautiful tribute to the late, great Judy Garland.” - Carol Burnett “I didn't realize how much I would have loved to hear Judy Garland sing “Defying Gravity” until Debbie Wileman and Steve Orich made it possible!” - Stephen Schwartz

It was last weekend when we made a long train journey out to the North Essex coast, to reach Walton-on-the-Naze. We planned the trip because our maps showed it to be an area out on a limb, and free of major roads. Finding good potential locations for making quiet recordings is very much a main mission for us these days. Quiet is a scarce resource. Long periods of quiet, in wide open landscapes, is even rarer. Scarcer, and even more valuable. Stepping off the train, we could see Felixstowe across the other side of the estuary. As we walked towards the town with a scattering of other just arriveds, our kit bag with the mics sounded noisy. Something inside, perhaps the metal tripod, knocked and rattled. Shifting it about didn't work. On towards the sea. On past the closed off-season shops. And then we realised. It always takes a while for us city dwellers to realise. It's not the bag that's started rattling. It's the quietness of this place! Arriving at the nature reserve, along the stony coastal path, an information board told of the rocks being of the eocene epoch, of yielding sharks teeth and other fossils. The land around us had mostly emptied of human things. So down onto the sand we strode, wind cuffing in our ears, we headed straight to walk along the bottom of the chalk cliffs. It was the sound of a fresh water stream-let that caught our attention. Trickling down the weather-beaten and sea-eroded cliff, forming a small clear pool. A pool surrounded by sand, and by chunks of fallen rock. Chalky, forgiving rocks, some brittle, that break apart within the hand. We played with the rocks and turned to listen to the sea. How the cliff wall mirrored the crashing waves, seemed to emphasise its light blue grey tones. A crisp, bright, wide openness, blended with the contented voices of children, searching for fossils, and couples, walking their dogs.  A good place to record. A good place to take this sound photograph of the beachscape, in January, at Walton-on-the-Naze.

Following Beanstalk Global interviewing Tom at the recently held National Fruit Show in Kent, we have had several requests for us to conduct a further interview with Tom. This is so we can gain his further reaction and views as to what he is seeing in the agricultural and fresh produce sectors from his own and a NFU perspective. Tom farms in partnership with his wife, Emily, and his parents in North Essex. Alongside a small owned farm they run a larger contract farming business growing a range of combinable crops across 950 hectares in North East Essex. The home farm is based around arable production but has also diversified into equestrian and renewables.  Tom has represented the NFU from Local Branch Chairman through to Chair of the National Combinable Crops Board.

Cara Carter has just qualified and starts her NQT/ECT year in September in a school in North Essex. Her first career was as a garment technologist (and the shimmering drape behind her in her picture shows she intends to use this talent to the full to brighten her classroom!). In this podcast Cara shares with us her light bulb moment, the turning point in her training year, when she came to realise the importance of looking at the learning through the eyes of the child.  During our conversation we discussed ... The fact that teaching is such a challenge and that is what makes it so enjoyable. How working with 1 teacher makes you think 'That's how I am going to do it' before seeing another and thinking 'Oooh that's good', then realising that you can learn useful things from every teacher you observe before deciding on your own unique approach.  How devastated she felt when she taught a lesson and introduced all sorts of relevant ideas, only to realise the key learning in the lesson was not secure because she wasn't seeing the learning through the eyes of the children. This was the turning point in her training year. The importance of having the extra ideas to introduce in lessons, but only teaching them to the children who need them, not to everybody. The value of asking the right question at the right time. How essential it is to find out what children have been taught and more importantly what they have learnt and retained before moving them on. How knowing where the children are in their learning makes it much easier to take them forwards step by step in manageable chunks. This is what it means to look through the eyes of the child to understand what they need to learn next.

Colchester is a town in the county of Essex. It is known for being a market town and holds one of the most popular markets in North Essex. In 2014, the small town was rocked by two extremely brutal murders and the investigation to catch the killer was one of the biggest carried out by Essex Police. The town was held on edge as the spectre of a serial killer loomed over. Sales of stab proof vests rocketed while people refused to go anywhere alone out of fear they would become the next target.The community and media alike had conjured up the killer as a Yorkshire Ripper or Ted Bundy type, but nobody could have possibly predicted who the killer would turn out to be.Show Notes: https://morbidology.com/morbidology-the-podcast-23-Jim-AttfieldPatreon: https://www.patreon.com/morbidologyHimalaya +: https://himalaya.com/morbidologyShow recommendation of the week - CRIME SALAD.

It's about building trust and letting them do the right thing.  If you're curious what a HR Interim Director is, then this latest episode of The HR Uprising Podcast is for you. Lucinda interviews Steve Graham, the Interim Deputy Director for Hertfordshire Partnership University Foundation Trust, about his career and experience working in HR within NHS. They talk about building authentic relationships within a team, changing organisational cultures, dealing with diversity and many more. Discover also what you should do and improve in your skill set if you want to move up in a role in HR when you tune in.  KEY TAKEAWAYS  Steve's tip if you want to move up in a role within your organisation is to focus in building your credibility and your relationships as quickly as possible. It becomes easier to get promoted when the executives see the determination and potential.  Be authentic. Have the confidence to speak your mind up, especially if you know the company will benefit from it, but also have the guts to admit when you're wrong.  Steve is grateful that his experience in different organisations helped him develop his leadership and resourcefulness skills.  Meeting and having authentic conversations is the key in getting the best solutions for challenges inside HR. It's the team who have the best ideas. Engage with them and understand them. Supporting your team can also help build authentic relationships quickly.  As an introvert, Steve didn't see himself fitting in the role of an interim. So, if you're like him who thinks like this, don't be put off by the responsibilities. You can always make an impact in the organisation.  What skills do you need to display to be taken seriously and to progress your aspiration? Have an understanding of the politics and interdependencies in the organisation. You have to be the ‘glue', the person that connects the team together. It's easier to share your expertise if you know where it is needed.  BEST MOMENTS  “You can't get things wrong and just get away with it.”  “Be direct and supportive.”  “Anyone can bring anything in any organisation.”  VALUABLE RESOURCES  https://www.hpft.nhs.uk/   www.secamb.nhs.uk/   https://www.clch.nhs.uk/  ABOUT THE GUEST    Steve Graham is the Interim Deputy Director of Workforce and OD at Hertfordshire Partnership University NHS Foundation Trust, a mental health and learning disability trust for Hertfordshire, Buckinghamshire, Norfolk, and North Essex.  He also worked for South-East Coast Ambulance Service and Central London Community Healthcare.  Steve Graham's LinkedIn - https://uk.linkedin.com/in/steve-graham-76163712   ABOUT THE HOST  Lucinda Carney is a Business Psychologist with 15 years in Senior Corporate L&D roles and a further 10 as CEO of Actus Software where she worked closely with HR colleagues helping them to solve the same challenges across a huge range of industries.

Matt and Ash talk to Colchester United's new signing Danny Collinge about his unusual route to North Essex, via the German Bundesliga! 

Helen Castor is joined in the studio by the historian of witchcraft, Professor Owen Davies. Historian Tom Charlton travels to Manningtree in North Essex - the scene, in the 17th century, of a series of witch-trials instigated by the so-called Witchfinder General Matthew Hopkins. Hopkins has gained notoriety for these and other brutal acts against women but he is the one who is always remembered - not the victims. Now a local woman, Grace Carter, wants a #MeToo moment so that the women are not forgotten. Professor Alison Rowlands, who studies witchcraft across Europe, joins Tom to help Grace sort out fact from fiction as she plans a monument to this painful past. The poison attack on the former Russian spy Sergei Skripal in Salisbury caused consternation around the world. Skripal and his daughter were in hospital for weeks and were lucky not to have been killed by the nerve agent used against them. Poisoning seems a very underhand act today but, back in the Middle Ages when knowledge of the natural world was more instinctive, it was commonplace. Indeed, as Iszi Lawrence found out, natural poisons were at the root of medieval medicine. Our modern world, with its fast roads and industrial farmland, is no place for hedgehogs and their numbers are in serious decline. Perhaps it's the threat to their numbers or the affectionate portrayal of Mrs Tiggy Winkle by Beatrix Potter, but we seem to be very fond of this prickly mammal. Four hundred years ago, things were very different. Hedgehog numbers were healthy but people thought they were witches and hunted them. To find out why, Tom Holland has been spending the night spotting hedgehogs in an Oxfordshire garden with natural history writer Hugh Warwick. Producer: Nick Patrick A Pier production for BBC Radio 4.

09.03.18 2100HRS (UK) A Soup Sessions first for Crispin Dior… Crispin Dior is an archetypal Gemini with feet in two musical worlds: That of nobility and the A-list elite as well as one of the leading promoters of cutting edge underground club culture in London. He’s been found at Windsor Castle advising Prince William on party arrangements before rocking the floor ’til the early hours of that infamous 21st birthday, wizzing off to Sting and Trudy’s manor in the country to entertain their guests at Christmas (which reads like a who’s who) or else flying off to all corners of the world to champion his reputed sound of tantric electro disco which has gained such notoriety at his clubs. In his own words: “Like many kids I’d always been into music. I can remember vividly wigging out to The Osmonds ‘Crazy Horses’ as a five year old in the kitchen but I’d have to wait another 10 years before I became fully gripped when I had the great fortune of persuading my parents to purchase some 2nd hand drums as a Christmas present. The dream was ignited. Me and my friends were going to become pop stars of some kind. Bands came and went but discovering music new and old has never disappeared although the advent of children has certainly slowed things down. My folks moved from tumble weed North Essex to tumble leaf South Cambs but the next step of good fortune was the discovery of neighbours working in […] The post 09.03.18 Soup Sessions with Crispin Dior appeared first on Radio Nova Lujon.
