Walking up Canning Street to The Wine Corner Store on a sunny day is joyous. There are people sitting at outside tables and lounging on the grass strip in the middle of the road with bottles of wine and snacks, catching up with friends and enjoying the tease of a possible early spring. It's a vibe. Steven "Stevie" Mifsud-Ellul opened  The Wine Corner Store  back in 2016 with a concept of mirroring the relationships that milk bar owners have with a neighbourhood - but instead of selling milk, bread and lollies, he sells wines, beers and delicious food. One of the more unique things about  The Wine Corner Store  is that  people can enjoy a bottle of wine that would usually cost hundreds of dollars at a restaurant because Stevie sells it at retail price. Heading the kitchen is  John Cassie.  John has worked at  several of my favourite Melbourne venues including The Palace Hotel, Verge, Cutler & Co, Bar Liberty, Capitano, Old Palm Liquor, Waxflower  and  Atticus Finch. John and I sat down and had a lovely chat with a glass of wine and then I was invited to stay on with my partner for dinner, or more realistically the feast that John sent out. John is a master of flavour, and I would be hard pressed to say which dish was my favourite. I started with briny sweet Sydney rock oysters from front-of-house Miles' family's oyster farm in Lake Wonboyn on the remote far south coast of New South Wales. There are some Maltese leaning dishes as a nod to Stevie's heritage, such as the Bigilla,  a hearty Maltese broad bean dip served with warm house-made flatbread, and then there was a pork rendang croquette  with charred pineapple and a stunning Jerusalem artichoke  with romesco. We also shared the Fettuccini with duck and radicchio ragu and a seafood Moqueca, which owes its origins to Brazil and perhaps John's earlier travels throughout South America. I loved it all and I am already thinking about when I can go back for more.

Uncommon Ambience: At the Movies, Back to the Future 2. This episode takes place in an alternate timeline: Biff 1985. Where we will enjoy the sullen symphony of carnage, lust, and poor life choices just outside the Biff Tannen Pleasure Paradise Hotel And Casino. It's a doozy. Minus Sammy Hagar. Also, minus bullets and explosions. There were plenty in Biff 1985; there's also plenty in our modern world. So I left out the ordinances. IE: don't worry about any hidden jump scares or Principal Strickland catching up with his drive-by "slackers" in hour seven. This episode involves everything else outside of Biff's Pleasure Paradise: motorcycles, dogs, helicopters, police, and people doing dubious sh!t. It's a wild scene from one of the wildest second acts in a movie I can think of. In the film, we return from a Jetson-esque 2015 to a nightmarish 1985 that culminates with Marty jumping off the roof of the Pleasure Palace. Here's the thing about Back to the Future 2. We left on an electrifying cliffhanger thinking we might have to wait another half-decade for the sequel to return to theaters (we didn't have smartphones or the web). I was pissed... but with time BTTF2 became my favorite of the series. Erp. Look, I know Back to the Future heads aren't Star Wars or Rush people… Even still I don't want to get into email exchanges about how I'm not respecting a competent Western hidden in a sci-fi story. Or a "but BTTF is the most complete story" ... Or some other movie review pretending to be a wine-ass review talking about notes of earth and tobacco in the finish.

Clique aqui pra doar: bit.ly/46VxiHs Asas da Liberdade – A Vida e a Morte de Santos Dumont Por Luiz Guedes Jr Há 150 anos, nascia Santos Dumont, um dos maiores inventores do Brasil, Aos 117 anos de seu mais célebre feito, voo no Campo de Bagatelle em 23 de outubro de 1906, Alberto Santos Dumont continua a ser para a maioria dos brasileiros o maior herói científico que o país já teve. Muitos conhecem a sua saga, contada e recontada nos livros escolares. Mas pouca gente sabe realmente quem foi o personagem que se aventurou a desbravar os céus. Que tipo de homem se escondia atrás dos longos bigodes, das vestes impecáveis e do inseparável chapéu panamá? As polêmicas que cercam a vida do inventor, comumente omitidas do grande público, são reveladas nas biografias disponíveis em diversas línguas. Consideram, principalmente, sobre a sexualidade, a fama de mau perdedor e a doença que o levou ao suicídio. Mas esses são apenas pequenos tópicos de uma vida tão rica em detalhes quanto a trajetória que levou o homem a construir máquinas voadoras. Santos Dumont voou muito além do que contam os livros de colégio. Na virada dos séculos 19 e 20, a sociedade mudava radicalmente com inovações como a luz elétrica, o automóvel e o telefone. Em meio ao turbilhão de novidades, um intrépido brasileiro agitava a sociedade parisiense com recepções nada comuns: ao serem levados pelo mordomo á sala de jantar, os convidados deparavam com mesas e cadeiras de mais de 2 metros de altura. Entre os presentes estavam a princesa Isabel, filha de d. Pedro II, último imperador brasileiro, o Joalheiro Louis Cartier, o arquiteto Gustave Eiffel, projetista da torre que leva seu nome, alguns representantes da família Rothschild, a imperatriz Eugênia, viúva reclusa de Napoleão III, alguns duques, barões e outros membros da alta sociedade europeia. Todos achavam divertido subir numa escada portátil para participar de mais um dos famosos jantares aéreos, como ficaram conhecidos os eventos promovidos por Santos Dumont em seu apartamento na Champs-Elysées. Questionado sobre o motivo desses jantares, anfitrião sempre respondia: "É para que todos imaginem como seria a vida numa máquina voadora". Alguns convidados riam. Afinal, em 1890, as máquinas voadoras ainda não existiam. Santos Dumont, em tom mais sério, retrucava que em pouco tempo elas dominariam os céus. “Estarão em todas as partes”, dizia o futuro aviador. As declarações do brasileiro soavam devaneios de um desajustado, mas tinham uma explicação: sua infância fora cercada por obras de Júlio Verne, nas quais se destacava a imagem de um céu povoado de máquinas voadoras. Em 1901, quando realizou a ousada circum-navegação da Torre Eiffel, recebeu diversos telegramas de congratulações e medalhas de louvor e coragem enviadas por diferentes chefes de Estado. Duas delas emocionaram-no em especial: a primeira foi a carta do próprio Júlio Verne; a outra, enviada por Pedro, amigo da época de criança: "Você lembra, meu caro Alberto, do tempo em que brincávamos de perguntar 'passarinho voa?", 'urubu voa?", "homem voa?", e você sempre levantava o dedo afirmando que o homem voava? A recordação dessa época me veio ao espirito no dia em que chegou ao Rio de Janeiro a notícia do seu triunfo. O homem voa, meu caro! Você tinha razão em levantar o dedo. E não tinha mesmo que pagar a prenda". A brincadeira à qual se referia o colega de infância era uma das preferidas de Santos Dumont e dos irmãos na fazenda onde nasceu, em 20 de julho de 1873, em Minas Gerais. Os pais do inventor, Henrique Dumont e Francisca de Paula Santos, foram os primeiros brasileiros a viver no distrito de João Aires, na minúscula cidade de Cabangu hoje rebatizada como Santos Dumont. Aos 6 anos, Alberto mudou-se com a família para as terras férteis de São Paulo, onde seu pai, apelidado de rei do café pela imprensa, comprou uma propriedade tão extensa que foi possível construir nela uma estrada de ferro com 96 quilômetros de extensão. Nessa época, além de mergulhar nos livros de ficção, Santos Dumont tinha como passatempo predileto dirigir as enormes locomotivas e também consertar todo o maquinário usado na produção do café. Henrique apreciava a fascinação do sexto de seus oito filhos e o caçula entre os três homens, mas não compreendia por que o menino não se interessava por outras atividades comuns entre meninos, como caçar ou até mesmo brigar com os irmãos. A vida em Paris O mundo de Santos Dumont ganhou novas dimensões quando ele tinha 18 anos. Seu pai sofrera uma queda de cavalo e acabou hemiplégico aos 60 anos. Sem chances de cura no Brasil, vendeu os negócios da família por 6 milhões de dólares (uma fortuna hoje, e ainda maior naquele tempo) e partiu para a Europa com a esposa e o jovem Alberto. A esperança de cura estava em Paris, onde Louis Pasteur revolucionava a medicina com suas vacinas. As descobertas na capital francesa encantaram o jovem brasileiro, em especial os motores de combustão interna, que ele jamais havia visto. Em visita à fábrica da Peugeot, comprou um dos dois únicos automóveis produzidos pela marca naquele ano de 1891. Poucos meses depois, após seu pai perceber que a medicina europeia não lhe restauraria a saúde, voltou com a família para o Brasil, trazendo a bordo do navio o estranho veículo de apenas 3,5 cv (capaz de atingir 16 quilómetros por hora). Ao dirigir a novidade nas ruas de São Paulo, Santos Dumont não só espantou os pedestres, mas também ficou conhecido como a primeira pessoa a circular de automóvel em toda a América do Sul. Sem esperanças de cura, Henrique teve uma longa conversa com o filho. Disse-lhe que não precisaria se preocupar em ganhar dinheiro e adiantou-lhe a herança de meio milhão de dólares. Depois, instruiu-o a voltar a Paris, onde parecia ter se adaptado muito bem. Santos Dumont seguiu o conselho. Chegou à Cidade Luz no verão de 1892, e seu pai morreu em agosto. Tímido para frequentar qualquer universidade, recorreu a um professor particular, que desenvolveu um intenso programa de estudos englobando física, química, engenharia mecânica e elétrica. Ocasionalmente, visitava os primos na Inglaterra, onde aproveitava para assistir às aulas na Universidade de Bristol. Como era aluno ouvinte, não corria o risco de ser interrogado em público. O Estilo Dumont Somente após cinco anos como cidadão francês, o brasileiro iniciou suas experiências com balões. Naquela época, a aeronáutica funcionava como um clube de cavalheiros, e Santos Dumont foi imediatamente aceito por sua origem abastada. Em pouco tempo, seus inventos ganharam espaço na imprensa local e internacional, e o brasileiro tornou-se coqueluche na alta sociedade europeia. Foi talvez um dos homens mais prestigiados e noticiados em todo o mundo no início do século 20. Não raro, sua imagem elegante estampava caixas de charutos, fósforos e até de aparelhos de jantares. Estilistas prosperaram com réplicas de seu chapéu e dos colarinhos altos e duros, que ele mesmo desenhara de modo a alongar seu pescoço e disfarçar a baixa estatura (cerca de 1,60 metro). Outros artifícios com essa finalidade eram os ternos sempre escuros com listras verticais, os sapatos com saltos e o tradicional chapéu-panamá. Apesar dos recursos para parecer mais alto, os jornais lhe deram o apelido carinhoso de petit Santos, o que muito o incomodava, embora continuasse a ditar moda: fabricantes de brinquedos produziam réplicas em miniatura de seus balões, que também inspiravam os bolos feitos pelos confeiteiros, sempre em forma de charuto e com as cores da bandeira brasileira. Em outra ocasião, reclamou com o amigo Louis Cartier, cujo avô fundara a Maison Cartier havia meio século, que era muito perigoso tirar as mãos dos comandos em pleno voo e levá-las ao relógio de bolso. Cartier criou para Santos Dumont um dos primeiros relógios de pulso de uso civil, que imediatamente tornou-se acessório indispensável para parisienses mais sofisticados. Além do estilo seguido por homens e mulheres, o aviador invariavelmente ganhava as manchetes devido ao seu temperamento difícil. Meteu-se em inúmeras brigas com o Aeroclube de Paris, quase sempre por não concordar com as regras dos concursos. Santos Dumont não enxergava a aviação como atividade cientifica. Para ele, voar era um esporte, um desafio entre homens aventureiros para ver quem vencia. E, como demonstrava, seu espírito excessivamente competitivo não lhe permitia sair derrotado. "Não me importo com o dinheiro das competições", dizia ele, que doava às pessoas em situações vulneráveis os valores conquistados em campeonatos. "Mas o prêmio atrai um número maior de rivais para que eu possa mostrar minha coragem. Essa é a importância da competição." Mesmo diante dessas habilidades, as publicações da época sobre Dumont muitas vezes insistiam em priorizar outro tema: a sua sexualidade. Reportagens do passado mostram que o estilo e o comportamento do aviador eram um prato cheio para os editoriais (repletos de julgamentos). Isso porque, além dos dedos cheios de anéis e o cabelo repartido ao meio hábitos especialmente das mulheres naqueles tempos, Santos Dumont circulava por Paris sobre uma bicicleta de modelo feminino e já achava natural tricotar e bordar em seu apartamento no Elysées Palace Hotel. Ocasionalmente, os tabloides publicavam notas sobre o suposto noivado de Santos Dumont com alguma jovem, mas ele rapidamente negava, enviando respostas irritadas à imprensa. Dizia preferir que as pessoas pensassem ser ele viúvo a estar noivo. Em sua escrivaninha, o aviador mantinha a fotografia da bela cubana Aida de Acosta, a quem ensinou a comandar um de seus balões aos 19 anos, ela tornou-se a primeira mulher do mundo a voar. Algumas biografias sugerem um caso amoroso entre os dois. Porém, após a morte do brasileiro, Aida confidenciou que ele era muito tímido para entabular uma conversa. Segundo ela, suas únicas palavras foram as instruções para ela pilotar o balão e, mesmo essas, ele dissera de modo acanhado. Um legado para o mundo Depois do histórico voo com o 14-Bis, em 1906, Santos Dumont entrou num período de depressão. O sucesso com os aeroplanos parecia não mais animá-lo. Ele acusava os amigos de o terem abandonado, lamuriava-se de seu corpo pequeno - fato que o ajudou na aeronáutica- e dizia a todos que estava sem dinheiro. Ninguém acreditava, mas, na tentativa de agrada-lo, aconselhavam-no a patentear seus inventos. Proposta imediatamente recusada. Eram seus presentes para a humanidade, dizia. "Prefiro terminar num asilo pobre a cobrar o privilégio de copiar meus experimentos aéreos." Em 4 de janeiro de 1910, sofreu um acidente sério com o Demoiselle, seu avião de uso pessoal. Foi a última vez que pilotou uma aeronave. Sua saúde piorou. Passou a ter visão dupla e fortes crises de vertigem. Alguns médicos diagnosticaram que Santos Dumont, aos 36 anos, sofria de esclerose múltipla. Outros atribuíram os sintomas a problemas psíquicos. Em 1914, quando a Alemanha declarou guerra à França, o brasileiro decidiu colocar-se a serviço de seu país adotivo. Mas os militares franceses chegaram até ele primeiro. Os vizinhos o haviam denunciado, pois pensavam que o tímido estrangeiro que observava o mar com um telescópio de fabricação alemã era um espião do kaiser. A polícia revirou sua casa e, após verificar o equívoco, pediu desculpas. Mas Santos Dumont não perdoou a suspeita de ser um traidor. Numa explosão de raiva, jogou todos seus documentos aeronáuticos, os desenhos e as cartas de congratulações no fogo. O aviador passou a maior parte dos anos da guerra no Brasil. Projetou em Petrópolis, no Rio de Janeiro, uma casa de arquitetura bastante avançada para a época, chamada de Encantada. Porém Santos Dumont nunca parou por muito tempo num só lugar. Revezava-se entre Petrópolis e clinicas de repouso na França e na Suíça. Num de seus retornos ao Brasil, em 1928, um hidroavião batizado com seu nome explodiu enquanto voava para saudar a sua chegada na Baia de Guanabara, na capital fluminense. As 12 pessoas a bordo morreram no acidente, visto de perto por Santos Dumont, que observava tudo de pé no convés. O episódio só agravou a saúde mental do aviador. Depressão e Morte Em 1931, um sobrinho chamado Jorge retirou-o de uma casa de repouso na Europa e trouxe-o de volta ao Brasil. No ano seguinte, irrompeu a Revolução Constitucionalista, que colocou paulistas e as tropas federais em campos opostos. Os médicos sugeriram que Santos Dumont deixasse a cidade de São Paulo e fosse morar num lugar mais tranquilo. Jorge o levou para um hotel no Guarujá. Todas as manhãs, acordava mais cedo e escondia os jornais na tentativa de ocultar do tio doente as notícias do conflito. No dia 23 de julho de 1932, os dois estavam no saguão quando escutaram um avião bombardear um alvo próximo. O aviador mandou o sobrinho levar um recado e tomou o elevador de volta ao quarto. Testemunhas dizem que ainda o ouviram falar: "Nunca pensei que minha invenção fosse causar derramamento de sangue entre irmãos". Jorge, que sempre temia deixar o tio sozinho, voltou para o quarto e o encontrou sem vida, enforcado, aos 59 anos de idade. O suicídio de Santos Dumont foi ocultado do conhecimento público durante décadas – afinal, o ato de tirar a própria vida (que segue sendo tabu em diversos lugares do mundo) não caía bem para um herói nacional. Agindo sob ordens do governo, o médico legista forjou o atestado de óbito, declarando que o aviador havia morrido devido a uma parada cardíaca. O corpo do inventor foi embalsamado para que pudesse ser levado em segurança de São Paulo para o funeral no Rio de Janeiro - o que demorou seis meses, até que acabassem os conflitos entre paulistas e as tropas federais. O médico responsável por embalsamar o cadáver, Walther Haberfield, removeu e preservou o coração de Santos Dumont sem que ninguém soubesse. Doze anos mais tarde, entrou em contato com a família do aviador e ofereceu o órgão. Eles não o quiseram e o médico acabou doando o coração para o governo, com a condição de que fosse colocado num local público. O órgão foi preservado dentro de uma esfera banhada a ouro, exposto no pequeno Museu da Força Aérea no Campo dos Afonsos, nos arredores do Rio de Janeiro. --- Send in a voice message: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/malhete-podcast/message

More money will be invested this year in the solar industry than in oil production. So said Faith Birol, executive director of the International Energy Agency, last week. Amy Harder, executive editor of Cipher, attended the Cleanpower 2023 event in New Orleans and experienced at first-hand what it means for the Big Green energy industry to be rivalling the scale of Big Oil. The event has been dubbed the ‘Coachella of clean energy' and as Amy recounts walking the half-mile long hall, full of clean energy businesses looking to capitalise on the booming industry, that comparison certainly seems appropriate. Amy Myers Jaffe, director of NYU's Center for Global Affairs, is also on the show this week. She says that what was once seen as a huge divide between the high-carbon and low-carbon energy industries is now being bridged. But she argues there is still an important role for governments in supporting the growth of newer energy technologies that would otherwise find it too difficult to break into markets dominated by old energy incumbents.After discussing how the emergence of the Big Green industry relates to US permitting reforms that could affect all energy infrastructure projects, the gang turn their attention to the G7. The recent summit in Hiroshima included some important discussions of the climate and energy, with world leaders repeating their commitments to accelerating the phase-out of fossil fuels, but also acknowledging the case for increased gas production to replace Russian supplies.Finally, whatever happened to alternative protein? Impossible Foods, Beyond Meat and some of the other companies in the sector have been cutting jobs. Beyond Meat's share price, which peaked at about $235 in the summer of 2019, is about $10 this week. Impossible Foods has been talking about an IPO, but now says it is not going to happen this year. It's clear that if you can cut the emissions from food production, and from beef in particular, the climate benefits could be huge.

When can we expect to see a lithium-ion battery that costs half as much as today, charges an EV in minutes and is made from recyclable materials? Accelerating the energy transition requires more and more electrification every year. Powering our micro grids, electric vehicles and devices with the most efficient batteries possible is crucial. One of the main issues with batteries today is they emit a lot of heat; energy is wasted as its expelled, leading to inefficiencies, not to mention safety concerns. KULR, a maker of energy management platforms and batteries, think they have a solution. On the Interchange today, host David Banmiller is joined by Michael Mo, CEO of KULR. They combine battery safety with advancements in AI-powered data analytics to manage energy more efficiently. Michael discusses with David the advancements in battery technology and how they can accelerate electrification. It's not just batteries that will benefit from advanced cooling and AI – energy storage will also see the benefits. High-powered battery cells, stacked in a configuration of 18 units, provide safe energy when its needed. These modular based storage cells KULR says will be cooled by a thermal management system. Michael explains how it works. The real-world uses for the next generation of batteries, from aviation to space exploration (Michael gives us some details on the KULR/NASA partnership never previously released), could deliver on the biggest need we have in the energy transition: fast-charging, safe, powerful, recyclable batteries.Don't forget to subscribe to the show, and follow us on Twitter, we're @interchangeshowWood Mackenzie's Solar & Energy Storage Summit is back, taking place at the Palace Hotel in San Francisco on June 21 and 22.

Solar, wind, hydrogen and nuclear – we need more investment in these renewables, but where can the money come from? In 2022, worldwide investment in renewables hit almost half a trillion dollars. Investment in solar – the largest sector - jumped 36% to 308 billion. Investment in wind – the second largest – remained stable at 175 billion. Overall investment in the energy transition topped 1.1 trillion dollars. The amount invested in new renewable projects is at the highest level in history – but it's still not enough. For us to achieve net zero by 2050, it's estimated we need between 3-5 trillion dollars a year going into the industry.  On the Interchange today, we look at the flow of money needed across renewable projects. We focus on hydrogen, nuclear, wind and solar: the four horsemen of the energy transition. Joining David on the show are two of the leading climate economists in the US, both from Columbia University, Gernot Wagner and Bruce Usher. Gernot is a senior lecturer at Columbia, and he explores the policy decisions and economic barriers to the mass adoption of renewables in the US. Bruce lectures as Director of the Tamer Center for Social Enterprise at Columbia's Business School, and he explains why hydrogen is such a promising piece of the energy transition puzzle.

How do we manage the explosion of data across the grid?Digitization is transforming the way energy is produced, directed and spent. Power plants are using real-time data to drive efficiency, smart grids are directing energy where needed and data models are now essential to help us make sense of the market. Across devices and sensors, we're seeing an explosion of data which needs to be analysed to drive efficiencies. Machine learning and digital twins are tools which can be used for modelling, which in turn helps us make better decisions around where and how we direct energy. Optimizing the grid as best we can is key to moving forward in the energy transition.On the Interchange today, David Banmiller is joined by Ben Hertz-Shargel, Head of Wood Mackenzie's Grid Edge. Ben explores the role of virtual power plants in managing energy demand in real time. Short-term forecasting and analytics typically benefit traditional power plants, so how can VPP's use the same information? Grid sensors are another important part of the digital grid, and Ben examines the data they work with.How is that data analysed and processed? Matthew Boyda is Senior Vice-President of Global Power & Renewables Research at Wood Mackenzie, and he joins the show to explain the forecasting capabilities in the industry and the importance of a transition from data centres to the cloud. Digital twins are a term you'll likely have heard before, but how do they actually work? Why are they so central to the digitization of the grid?

By 2050, at least 10% of the current nuclear fleet will retire, prompting the need to look to new and innovative technologies to replace them. As ever, cost-efficiencies will drive adoption. The levelized cost of electricity for conventional nuclear is over three times the cost of wind and solar per MWh. New, advanced reactor technologies are needed to lower costs. Small Modular Reactors are one of these. As global innovation in nuclear evolves, these reactors could deliver energy at less than $80 a MWh. Investment in SMRs is focused on the US Canada and Europe. On the Interchange today, David Banmiller is joined by a panel of industry guests to identify the paths to safe, reliable nuclear power. Dr Kathryn Huff is Assistant Secretary at the Office of Nuclear Energy, at the US Department of Energy. She explains the decisions that have influenced the shift in government policy towards nuclear in recent months and outlines the plans for investment in new projects. The Natrium reactor, from TerraPower, is benefiting from a slice of the $2 billion in funding from the DOE. Jeff Navin is Director of External Affairs at TerraPower, and he also joins us on the show. The renaissance in nuclear power is driven by a multitude of factors but shifts in attitudes and the change in policy since the start of the Ukraine war have played a significant part. Maria Korsnick is the President and CEO of the Nuclear Energy Institute. She joins the podcast to explain how the next generation of nuclear reactors will help power the energy transition. David Brown is Director of the Energy Transition Service at Wood Mackenzie. He completes the panel on the show today to forecast the future of nuclear around the world. Where is investment needed, and where is it coming from? Policy needs to start rewarding nuclear for what if offers in low-carbon dispatchable power. What technologies are enabling efficient nuclear power to slot into the grid?

On July 2 1960, KCBS Radio broadcast a special report on the mysterious disappearance of pioneering aviatrix Amelia Earhart. She and navigator Fred Noonan had disappeared over the South Pacific in July 1937 in one of the 20th Century's enduring mysteries. This special report, sponsored by Shell Oil, was introduced by KCBS Radio news director Don Mozley and featured the work of reporter Fred Goerner. Goerner was convinced Earhart and Noonan had survived the crash of their plane but then died in Japanese custody. On that day in 1960, he showed off some airplane parts he'd brought up from the harbor on Saipan. A year later, he made another trip and brought back human remains he believed might have been those of Earhart and Noonan (later analysis by a University of California anthropologist dashed cold water on that belief). Goerner made a third trip to Saipan on his own time and money, published a lengthy account in Argosy magazine in 1964, and then a best-selling book in 1966 (The Search for Amelia Earhart). The photo accompanying this episode was taken the day before this broadcast, on July 1 1960, in KCBS Radio's Studio B at the Palace Hotel. Goerner (R) sat next to Don Mozley and told San Francisco reporters who'd been called to the studio of his findings.

Coming up in this show, I discuss how I hired a line editor and proofreader for my thriller novella, Missing, and my plans for book two. And, I've made progress with writing a short story which I intend to use as a lead magnet to build a mailing list.But first, a short travel update. I'm currently in San Francisco working from The Palace Hotel. The next few episodes of the Behind the Scenes Podcast Diary will be filmed and recorded in this location. On Friday, Roland and I flew premium economy with British Airways, and I do think the price difference between economy and premium is worth it, especially for a longer flight. The flight from London to San Francisco was ten hours. I'm not saying it flew by, but I think the seats and the extra legroom made all the difference.  Next week, I'll let you know about my progress on writing the short story and my revisions for book two, whether I will hire a professional editor for my short story. And, I'll share some pictures from my USA Trip.Thanks for listening, and happy reading and writing, everybody. Thanks for listening!
