Hello you beautiful person!It's another fun filled episode of the TCP.We start with a very crappy version of A Christmas Carol. This was part of the 'Tales from Dickens' TV series and stars Basil Rathbone as an actor who's career has fallen so far that he's reduced to wearing a traffic cone on his head to play Ebenezer Scrooge.I don't recommend watching it, but if you really must, here's a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6LdUtugLbK4&t=3sWe have another Joke from Benji Pearson.Then it's the return of Santa Claus is NOT Coming to Town. I had to scour the internet for stories and managed to find a half decent one. When will parents learn that when it comes to Santa, you can lie your way out of anything.Next up we look at a lovely cover version of the Bowie and Crosby classic Little Drummer Boy / Peace on Earth. This one was recorded for Children in Need and sees two stalwarts of British broadcasting, Aled Jones and Terry Wogan.If you want to have a look and a listen here's a link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8AWdrUUMsYUWhilst researching the little drummer boy I found out about The Little Drummer Boy challenge, and also Whamageddon. Both are games where you try to avoid hearing the song during the festive season.This episodes recommendation is Ooh Spooky, one of the funniest podcasts I've had the pleasure of listening to.Definitely check this one out, they don't have a website, so here's the facebook page:https://www.facebook.com/OoohSpooky/If you want to get in touch, email totalchristmas@gmail.comThe website is totalchristmaspodcast.comMerry Christmas

It's Episode 27, and it's our birthday, 1 glorious year.This episode we have our anniversary spectacular and believe me when I say we have spared every expense celebrating 12 months of this drivel.We begin the show with Santa Claus is NOT Coming to Town, and our newly (self) appointed Most Valued Listener, Eddie Honan, tells the tale of how his dad let slip the truth about Saint Nick.Then we have the triumphant return of Robin Sings. Our darling songstress entertains us all with two humorous renditions of Jingle Bells.Then we discuss all the wonderful treats that Santa receives as he's making his way around the globe.After that it's a look at The Christmas Toy. 9 years before Pixar stole their idea, Jim Henson and the Muppets had a wonderful Christmas special about toys that come to life.This week's recommendation is This Is Love by Phoebe Judge. It's a delightful podcast that we hope you'll enjoy.

“Tiffany D. Jackson has penned a riveting, powerful love story to Black girlhood and a haunting reminder of the ways in which their innocence is often stolen. Remarkable, suspenseful, and gut-wrenching, Grown is a masterfully told story that stays with you long after you put it down.”—Angie Thomas, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Hate U Give and On the Come Up While the MeToo movement has gained steam and highlighted horrific abuse in the entertainment industry, stories like the documentary Surviving R. Kelly show that when the victims are women of color, specifically Black women, there is still not nearly enough attention paid. In the new YA novel Grown, Enchanted Jones is an aspiring singer, struggling with her family’s move to the suburbs while trying to find her place as the lone Black girl in high school. When legendary R&B artist Korey Fields spots her at an audition, her dream of being a professional singer takes flight. Enchanted is dazzled by Korey’s luxurious life but soon her dream turns into a nightmare as Korey’s charm and star power hides a dark side, one that wants to control her every move, with rage and consequences. Tiffany D. Jackson is the critically acclaimed author of Allegedly, Monday’s Not Coming, and Let Me Hear a Rhyme. A Walter Dean Myers Honor Book and Coretta Scott King John Steptoe New Talent Award winner, she received her Bachelor of Arts in film from Howard University, her Master of Arts in media studies from the New School, and has more than a decade in TV/Film experience. “The novel shines light on biases against young Black women and the victim-blaming that so often occurs when a predator has power, fame, and money . . . Compelling; Jackson excels in writing books steeped in social commentary.”—Kirkus Reviews “Grown exposes the underbelly of a tough conversation—the seductive abuse of older men who prey on teen girls—providing a searing examination of misogynoir, rape culture, and the vulnerability of young black girls. Groundbreaking, heart wrenching, and essential reading for all in the #MeToo era”—Dhonielle Clayton, New York Times bestselling author of The Belles

Mike is an average guy on a mission to change the state of Florida—specifically, to convince the Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission to stop overspraying the rivers and lakes with herbicides. As a fisherman, Mike cares deeply about the waterways in his state, but he’s struggling to break into the conversation and make a real impact. In this episode of How To!, we bring on Erin Brockovich, the citizen activist and inspiration for the Oscar-winning film Erin Brockovich starring Julia Roberts. Drawing on her new book Superman’s Not Coming, she has tips for how Mike can follow in her footsteps to enact environmental change.

This week on Getting Curious, we’ve got numbers coming out of our ears. For instance: two. Two? Yeah. That’s how many times the clean water activist and consumer advocate Erin Brockovich has now appeared on the show. How about this for a number? One. That’s how many people it takes to start a movement advocating for safe drinking water. And we’re guessing zero is the amount of hesitation you’ll have before hitting play on this iconic conversation between Jonathan and Erin, all about what’s in our water, who’s currently regulating it, and how we can take charge of the water supply in our communities.

TIME STAMP INFO: No Time Today, this was an impromptu Show Re: The Gaming Media/Gaming Community are "Calling Foul" as New Rumors Suggest that ALL Bethesda Titles Now Owned by Microsoft are NOT Coming to a PS5 Near YOU! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/craig-ravitch/support
Over 40,000 chemicals currently find their way into a litany of consumer products. Although many are toxic, less than 1% have been tested for human safety. Nonetheless, great quantities can still be found in our drinking water.How is this possible? Shouldn’t clean water be a fundamental right? These questions are both fair and important. Unfortunately, trusted regulatory bodies like the EPA often fail to adequately protect us. Science is often manipulated by companies that put profit over public health. And thus, industry pollution continues unsupervised -- and the consumer protection laws we do have in place remain unenforced.To better understand this reality -- how we got here and where to go from here -- I sat down with one of the most famous names in environmental activism.Meet the the singular and eminent Erin Brockovich.Best known as the legal file clerk who battled PG&E over polluted water in the town of Hinckley, CA, Ms. Brockovich was instrumental in architecting a case that resulted in the largest settlement ever paid in a direct-action lawsuit in U.S. history.It’s a story that ended up on the big screen. Garnered Julia Roberts an Oscar for her portrayal of Erin under the direction of the great Steven Soderberg. And turned the name Erin Brockovich into not only a household name, but a verb.Unfortunately, America’s waters didn’t cease to be polluted after the closing credits of the film. In fact, they’ve only gotten worse -- a fact that should leave us all deeply concerned. And highly motivated to act.Because Superman's not coming.Today Erin delivers a master class on water, with one resounding takeaway: the problem is our's to solve.Simply put, we cannot rely on corporations or the government to protect us. An admittedly disheartening realization, it's also empowering -- a call to citizen activism to forge the better world we deserve.It's a theme Ms. Brockovich explores in her new book, Superman's Not Coming (and recently launched podcast of the same name), which both take a brutally honest look at how mismanagement, chemical spills, mishandling of toxic waste and sludge, and even fake studies have created the perfect storm in terms of damaging water systems in the United States. The result is making us sick. And destroying the environment along the way.This is a conversation about the outdated policies that perpetuate this pollution cycle, and the evil-overlord-level of deception that is happening in the corporations and government bodies we blindly trust.We discuss the regulatory landscape of clean water. How what most consider a human right has become politicized and weaponized. How to better educate yourself about your own water supply. And the actions to undertake in the event of an issue.In addition, we explore Erin’s upbringing. Her struggles with dyslexia. The experiences and mentors that fuel her perseverance. The case that brought her fame. And the vital work she has done since.Brimming with unexpected optimism, I think you will find Erin’s message a welcome break from the relentless apocalyptic doom presented by the 24-hour news cycle.A mighty, whip-smart and imposing force of nature, for many years I've deeply admired and respected Ms. Brockovich from afar. This conversation was an honor. And a powerful reminder of the indelible influence of the individual to create positive change and awaken a movement.

Inspired by the R. Kelly Case, the New YA Novel GROWN Shines a Light on Predatory Behavior and the Biases Faced by Young Black Women Ric Speaks with the Critically Acclaimed, Award-Winning Author Tiffany D. Jackson “Tiffany D. Jackson has penned a riveting, powerful love story to Black girlhood and a haunting reminder of the ways in which their innocence is often stolen. Remarkable, suspenseful, and gut-wrenching, Grown is a masterfully told story that stays with you long after you put it down.”—Angie Thomas, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Hate U Give and On the Come Up While the MeToo movement has gained steam and highlighted horrific abuse in the entertainment industry, stories like the documentary Surviving R. Kelly show that when the victims are women of color, specifically Black women, there is still not nearly enough attention paid. In the new YA novel Grown, Enchanted Jones is an aspiring singer, struggling with her family’s move to the suburbs while trying to find her place as the lone Black girl in high school. When legendary R&B artist Korey Fields spots her at an audition, her dream of being a professional singer takes flight. Enchanted is dazzled by Korey’s luxurious life but soon her dream turns into a nightmare as Korey’s charm and star power hides a dark side, one that wants to control her every move, with rage and consequences. Tiffany D. Jackson is the critically acclaimed author of Allegedly, Monday’s Not Coming, and Let Me Hear a Rhyme. A Walter Dean Myers Honor Book and Coretta Scott King John Steptoe New Talent Award winner, she received her Bachelor of Arts in film from Howard University, her Master of Arts in media studies from the New School, and has more than a decade in TV/Film experience. https://www.amazon.com/Grown-Tiffany-D-Jackson/dp/0062840355 http://www.bluefunkbroadcasting.com/root/twia/tjgrown.mp3

Erin Brockovich is an environmental activist, consumer advocate, renowned crusader, and champion fighter whose courageous case against Pacific Gas and Electric was dramatized in an Oscar-winning film that earned Julia Roberts an Oscar in 2001. Julia's Brockovich may be frozen in time in the late 20th century, but Erin's Brockovich is fixated on the issues of today. She is older and wiser, yet wickedly funny and refreshing. Nonetheless, like her cinematic Ghost of Brockovich Past, she is still a force of nature and FOR nature. Erin is the president of Brockovich Research & Consulting and the founder of the Erin Brockovich Foundation, a nonprofit organization created to educate and empower communities in their fight for clean water. She is the co-author of "Take It from Me: Life's a Struggle but You Can Win" and she recently launched a podcast, "Superman's Not Coming," on PodcastOne. In Erin's long-awaited new book —"Superman's Not Coming: Our National Water Crisis and What We the People Can Do about it" — she makes clear why we are in trouble and warns us that if we're waiting for someone to save us, Superman isn't coming. Nor is the government or the environmental agencies. No one is going to solve this for us. It is up to us, we the people, and Erin shows us how. Actress Katey Sagal has accepted the challenge of bringing today's eternally turbo-charged Erin to life on television. The "The Sons of Anarchy" and "Married With Children" veteran—most recently seen on "The Conners"—is set to star in "Rebel," the Brockovich-inspired drama that has been picked up for a pilot commitment at ABC. Sagal will be joined by castmates Andy Garcia and John Corbett. This is Erin's third appearance on JONES.SHOW! JONES.SHOW is a weekly podcast featuring host Randall Kenneth Jones (author, speaker & creative communications consultant) and Susan C. Bennett (the original voice of Siri).

Lisa chats with author and environmental activist Erin Brockovich about her new book Superman's Not Coming, which looks at our present water situation and shows us how we can each take action to make changes in our cities, towns, and villages before it is too late. Then, Jersey Jen pops by to preview the fantasy football season.
Frank MacKay talks with Erin Brockovich, author of Superman's Not Coming about her life, advocacy and the national water crisis.
Erin Brockovich, legal clerk, consumer advocate, and environmental activist, was a guest recently on WZOE’s “Wake Up Princeton” with Paul Bomleny.Brockovich was instrumental in building a case against the Pacific Gas and Electric Company of California and her successful lawsuit was the subject of the 2000 film, Erin Brockovich, which starred Julia Roberts in the Oscar-winning title role.Without any formal legal education, Brockovich was instrumental in building the suit against PG&E, alleging contamination of drinking water in Hinkley, California with a chemical known as chromium VI. The $333 million became the largest settlement ever paid in a direct action lawsuit.In the years since, Brockovich has continued to serve as an anti-pollution advocate around the country, especially as a champion for clean water.Her new book “Superman’s Not Coming” has been called the activist version of teaching a person to fish. She tackles the environmental concerns of the planet but says no one is going to solve this for us. It is up to us, we the people."Superman's Not Coming" is available at her website brockovich.com.
20 years after the film Erin Brockovich raised awareness about water contamination, the real Erin Brockovich talks about how her that movie changed her life, the moment when she realized that she had to stand up for the citizens of Hinckley, California, and her outrage that dangerous levels of Chromium-6 still exist in the water of hundreds of municipalities across the U.S. She explains why environmental regulators aren’t doing their jobs, and how she’s helped angry moms mobilize their communities to demand clean water in Flint, Michigan, Hannibal, Missouri, and as far away as Greece. Plus Erin offers advice on how to evaluate the purity of water that comes out of your faucet, what contaminants to look for, and who to turn to when something doesn’t look right. Order Superman's Not Coming: Our National Water Crisis, and What We the People Can Do About It on Amazon, Audible, or wherever books are sold.

Adam welcomes Erin Brockovich to the podcast for a 1-on-1 interview. Adam asks her about her youth and family, and Erin speaks honestly about struggling with dyslexia and fighting for what you believe in. They talk more about taking action within your own community, and Erin’s new podcast, ‘Superman’s Not Coming’. Later, Erin discusses what she learned from her mother, the mental process of sticking through your plans to the end, and being more self-aware to change the parts of yourself you don’t like. Other topics of conversation include developing common sense, changing the way we teach our children, and the loss of respect in this country. In the last part of the interview, Adam asks Erin about making observations, Erin tells Adam he should run for city council, and they both agree on the problems with receiving inconsistent information.

She’s baaaack! Our most popular guest Carly Heitlinger (of the lifestyle blog Carly the Prepster!) joins us this week to catch up on how she is feeling at this point in the pandemic and what she has been doing to cope with anxiety and inability to really plan anything. Anything… but her upcoming wedding, that is! She gives us the scoop on her super-surprise proposal and tells us more about her fiance Mike (and his family). We also talk a little bit about politics and Carly’s decision to endorse Joe Biden. Lastly, we chat about blogging during a pandemic - it’s definitely been interesting? We wind down the episode talking about favorite snacks (hard agree on one choice, hard disagree on another) and how she manages to only follow 50 people on Instagram!

Scott talks with Erin Brockovich who told us the intensely personal story behind her story. Erin is one of America's most successful activists, but also someone who is very busy duplicating her efforts for others to take up the mantle of environmental activism at CommunityHealthBook.com. She told us the story of what kept her going while juggling being a single mom, a legal professional staffer, and an activist and how you can use that in your every day lives. Erin Brockovich's new book "Superman's Not Coming" just hit store shelves in 2020, and you can see her in the documentary Last Call at The Oasis. You can buy our Meet the Candidates 2020 book series here, featuring Joe Biden and Bernie Sanders or at Barnes & Noble.

Say the name Erin Brockovich and you think, strong, tough, stubborn and sexy. Erin is all that and more. In the ’90s, Erin Brockovich spearheaded an investigation revealing that Pacific Gas & Electric had been poisoning the water in Hinkley, California. As chronicled in the 2000 film “Erin Brockovich,” PG&E was forced to pay out the largest toxic tort injury settlement in U.S. history: $333 million. Since that time, Erin has continued in her quest to empower the people to “right wrong.” It seems that 2020 is shaping up to be another breakout year for Erin. Her new podcast will launch this spring and her latest book, “Superman’s Not Coming,” is scheduled for release on August 25, 2020. Additionally, ABC has given a put pilot dedication to “Insurgent,” a drama inspired by Erin’s life in the years following “Erin Brockovich,” the movie. The program is being written and executive produced by “Gray’s Anatomy” showrunner, Krista Vernoff. She is a modern-day “David” who loves a good brawl with today’s “Goliaths.” She thrives on being the voice for those who don’t know how to yell. She is a rebel. She is a fighter. She is a mother. She is a woman. She is you and me. JONES.SHOW is a weekly podcast featuring host Randall Kenneth Jones (author, speaker & creative communications consultant) and Susan C. Bennett (the original voice of Siri).

Amanda LaGrange is the chief executive officer of Tech Dump, “providing seamless electronics recycling services for businesses and organizations of all sizes (and) a social enterprise that provides jobs and training for persons facing barriers to employment.” Tech Dump has operated largely on earned revenue, but has been broken into it’s first “event” fundraising opportunity with the “Thanks for Not Coming” gala. The zero-waste event asked supporters to buy a ticket to not show up in person. The event was emceed by Tane Danger of the Theater of Public Policy in space donated by the Midpointe Event Center, but guests were asked to stay home and enjoy the short program remotely. Host Steve Boland talks with Amanda about the genesis of this idea, the challenge of event-based fundraising, mission alignment in fundraising, and much more.

This week, Uri and Rivky discuss David Frum’s piece in the Atlantic, “What If They’re Not Coming for the Jews This Time? Trump poses a new test for the American Jewish community.” Frum asks, what if Trump and his world are actually pro-Jewish and pro-Israel? What does that mean for us? As Frum puts it, “Jews generally believe ourselves to be bound by an ethical code of tolerance and decency larger than our own parochial interests. Trump seems intent on putting that belief to the test. Will we meet it as a united community? Or by tempting Jews with privileges denied to other, more marginal groups, will he split religious Jews from secular; more communally minded Jews from more universalist; more conservative from more liberal?” Uri and Rivky ask, this world David Frum asks us to imagine - is that our reality? And do we recognize his challenge? What do we do if/when we have to make a choice?

Show Notes: https://justinfimlaid.com/the-cavalry-is-not-coming Sponsor: https://www.nuharborsecurity.com Contact Me: https://justinfimlaid.com/contact-me/ Twitter: @justinfimlaid LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/jfimlaid/ I hear it all the time, security burn out is high. I wasn't until this week that I realized that folks got the reason for burn out completely wrong. After listening to someone tell me that a large tech company burns out their staff due to work volume and rotates the staff every 2 years I realized we have it twisted. I don't know about you, but most security folks I know love doing security and a 60 hour week hasn't burnt anyone out when they do what they love. If a 60 hour week does burn you out, then I'd recommend changing your work profession as a matter of mental health. Go do something you love to do, then no one would have to pay you to work because you'd do for free because you love it. As a former CISO I can say first hand that the work never burnt me out. The environment and people are what burned me out. What I mean by that is that having accountability for security and no direct responsibility for security in a $6B organization was incredibly stressful. Most security folks I know are in this spot. They have accountability for enterprise security but the role and action of security is distributed across the organization. Also - there should be some segregation of duties between IT and Security. Since security is often monitoring an environment they often see mistakes make by peers in the company outside of security. Those mistakes can make security challenging, but those same peers often have little motivation to clean up those mistakes unless it directly impacts their job. So, security having to feel like they are in the position of digital janitor and clean up can be exhausting. There's only so many times you'll clean up the spilled milk before you just leave it spilled. Security leadership has become a political position, evangelizing for security, educating you work colleagues on security all so those same company peers when faced with a security decision will self-select the correct decision related to security when no one is looking. To amplify matters, you don't have all the budget you need or want to do your job. Nor likely do you have all the actual authority to make that decision you want to. The threat landscape is also shifting so tomorrow is always a new type of cyber attack. All this is to say that it's a tough job. Not because of work load only, but the surrounding intangibles of working in organizations who probably are excited to pass off security can be draining. I've got news for you, the Cavalry is NOT Coming. You are on your own. For those of you listening to this maybe not grasping the challenge, let me propose an analogy. We've all been out to dinner at a restaurant. Let's say being a CISO is like being the chef of the restaurant. In this analogy the chef is accountable for your meal, but not responsible for preparing it or delivering it. The chef has a partial budget, and needs to convince other kitchen staff to pool their budget to buy the food needed to serve the menu. The kitchen staff, however, also have other department chefs they work for that diverts their attention. To make matters more complicated, the kitchen is consistently invaded by rodents and kitchen hygiene is hard to keep up with. Our chef also has limited say as to the quality of food prepared, presentation of the food, and delivery of the food. Now, if you went to a restaurant and knew your chef had limited budget, they chef was not directly responsible for the kitchen staff, the kitchen staff also served other department chefs (so they have limited attention to your meal), the chef had no say on how your food was plated or served, and the kitchen was occasionally raided by rats,
Welcome to full-on vitriol. Brenna wants to barf and Joe wants to burn this book. In this take no prisoners dressing down of Beth Reekles’ massive Wattpad success The Kissing Booth, Brenna and Joe don’t expect to make any tween fans from Los Angeles happy (or is it South Wales? Or is it South Africa?). Adult listeners wishing to destroy their livers are welcome to play the “Edit!” drinking game as Brenna and Joe lament the inept job that Random House UK did in shepherding a 15 year old’s online serial into a book. Thankfully Vince Marcello’s 2018 film adaptation fares better, although both texts contain abhorrent depictions of “fantasy romances” that young girls should steer far, FAR away from. Plus: Joe finally delivers on his promise to check out the Syfy adaptation of Rick Remender & Wesley Craig's graphic novel Deadly Class to mixed results, while Brenna strongly recommends Tiffany Jackson's unreliable narrator thrillers, Allegedly and Monday’s Not Coming.
