From helping out on a Madness video, he began a career as a music video director; he went on to work with hundreds of stars, including Oasis, Ozzy, Cher, Paul McCartney, Guns n' Roses, Toto, Britney Spears, Celine Dion, Alice Cooper, Def Leppard, Alice in Chains and Tears for Fears. If you've watched MTV, you've seen his work.Music Video Mischief goes behind the scenes for a wild ride through the creative process, the egos, the politics and the logistics involved in making videos for A-listers.

It's hoped the best possible outcomes can be secured for employees of Daktronics in Ennistymon. It comes as the American multinational has entered redundancy talks with its workforce at the North Clare plant. Founded by John Neville in 1979, Data Display employed up to 150 people in the Deerpark Industrial Estate at its peak. When the business was acquired by Daktronics in 2014, a condition of the sale was that the original sales, service, manufacturing and engineering teams would be retained. Some of the staff now entering the redundancy consultation process have been with the company for over 45 years. Ennistymon Fianna Fáil Councillor Shane Talty says the importance of the business to the wider region cannot be understated. Daktronics has long been a global leader in the production of digital scoreboards, billboards, road signage and public transport displays. It's even landed lucrative contracts over the years servicing the London Underground, New York Subway, the Paris Metro and the DART. In a statement to Clare FM, however, the company says it is now considering a proposal to exit its "highly customised international transportation business". As part of this process, Daktronics says it has notified its Ennistymon employees that "their roles are at risk". It's understood the employees are not affiliated with any trade union and have been asked to nominate representatives for discussions with senior management, who have flown in today from South Dakota. Lahinch Fine Gael Councillor Bill Slattery says it's crucial workers get the professional support they need to secure the best possible outcomes for their futures.

Pickpockets don't strike at random. They wait for one specific moment, and the enemy of your soul uses the exact same playbook.In this message, Pastor Mike Rosado shares the story of nearly getting pickpocketed on the Paris Metro, and unpacks the three things every attack reveals: it affirms your direction, it leverages your depletion, and it targets your isolation. If you've been getting hit from every side lately, this message will change what you call it, and how you fight it.Not every hard thing is a mistake. Not every hard thing is bad luck. Some things are attacks, and attacks mean you're a threat.This is Week 6 of "Through the Wilderness," a series about going from transition to transformation.

In this episode, we're joined by Nigel Dick, the acclaimed music video director behind some of the most recognisable videos of the MTV era, including work with Guns N' Roses, Tears for Fears, Oasis, Britney Spears, Cher, and of course The Corrs.Nigel shares the journey that took him from training as an architect and busking on the Paris Metro to working at Stiff Records before eventually becoming one of the most successful music video directors of his generation. We hear how a chance recommendation from Andy Murray introduced him to Forgiven, Not Forgotten, an album he instantly fell in love with, eventually leading to a phone call that would see him direct four videos for The Corrs. This episode's interview is focused on his work for the band on the music videos Only When I Sleep and What Can I Do. Nigel takes us behind the scenes of filming Only When I Sleep at Los Angeles' historic Alexandria Hotel, revealing how the shoot came together on a modest budget and why he felt the videos from the first album hadn't yet captured who The Corrs truly were.Nigel also discusses the story behind directing What Can I Do, from writing a treatment overnight in a New York hotel room to flying across the world to New Zealand for a one-day shoot squeezed into the band's hectic touring schedule. Hear Nigel reflect on the realities of filmmaking in the pre-digital era, shooting on film, the art of music video production, and why The Corrs remain one of the most enjoyable bands he ever worked with!The location of the hotel used for the 'Only When I Sleep' music video can be found via the following link HEREThe location of the church and surrounding areas used in the 'What Can I Do' music video can be found via the following link HERESee images from the set of the 'Only When I Sleep' music video at the following link HERESee images of the chair and bed used in the 'Only When I Sleep' music video as seen on location in 2025 before they were reupholstered HEREA link to Nigel's book 'Music Video Mischief' can be found via Amazon at the following link HERENigel's website can be found at www.nigeldick.comSpecial thanks to Russell Swanson for a copy of the 'What Can I Do' workbook.

"‘At The Same' uses a field recording of a journey on the Paris Metro. I wanted to imagine many different journeys happening at the same time. The entire file was placed in a software that can randomly scan an entire file and play back snippets from different parts, I did this using Reaktor software. This randomly scanned audio snippets were recorded for 6 minutes in Logic."On listening back, I noticed that there were occasional sustained sounds - perhaps brakes on the trains - and wanted to foreground those sounds so I used 4 different freeze plugins to capture and elongate the sounds."Further audio editing was done, such reversing some small sections and copying and pasting some small snippets to help with the structure."Only sounds were used from the original field recording apart from the processing as described above."Paris metro line 10 reimagined by Phil Durrant.

On this week's episode, we're joined by Thomas Dolby, musician, producer, inventor, storyteller, and one of the most inventive minds to emerge from the golden age of synth-pop. Best known for classics like “She Blinded Me With Science” and the groundbreaking album The Golden Age of Wireless, Dolby's career has taken him far beyond the world of 80s pop stardom. From building homemade synthesizers out of discarded circuit boards in South London, to performing with David Bowie at Live Aid, producing landmark records for Prefab Sprout, and later becoming a pioneer in music technology and Silicon Valley innovation, his story is one of constant reinvention. In this conversation, Thomas reflects on the grey, chaotic energy of 1970s London, the explosion of punk and electronic music, and how he carved out a sound that brought warmth and humanity to synthesisers at a time when electronic music often felt cold and mechanical. He shares hilarious stories including working with eccentric British scientist Magnus Pyke and explains how a global novelty hit unexpectedly opened the door to a deeper, more personal body of work. We also talk about busking in the Paris Metro, touring with bands like The Fall and Gang of Four, the pressure and excitement of performing at Live Aid with Bowie, and his belief that the best music comes from emotional honesty rather than chasing trends. Later in the episode, Thomas opens up about life beyond pop fame from launching tech companies during the dot-com boom, helping pioneer early mobile ringtone technology with Nokia and developing ambitious new live shows that blend music, storytelling, and orchestral performance.Let Christy Take It are proud to bring you Thomas Dolby.If you enjoy our show please like and subscribe wherever you listen to your podcasts. Thanks to our sponsor Irish Woodcraft, please check them out at https://irishwoodcraft.ie

In her latest young adult novel, Holloway (Clarion Books, 2026), award-winning author Elana K. Arnold returns with a boldly visionary, deeply felt story that crosses space and time to examine loss and love in a world on the brink. It is the late summer of 2021, and a girl named Nora is on the Paris Metro. Nora, whose mother loved her, even though Nora was broken. Nora, who couldn't help her mother when her mother needed her most. Nora, from whom the pandemic has taken nearly everything, save the object she clings to: a cylinder containing her mother's ashes. With no family left, no friends to speak of, and no way to turn back time, Nora has come to France to keep a promise she never got to make: to spread the ashes in a place her mother never got to see. But instead, Nora finds herself on the run through a forest in the night, taking refuge in a dark holloway. And when she wakes, and tries to make her way back to something she recognizes, she realizes that is impossible. Because it is no longer 2021. Questioning everything--including her own sanity--Nora sets out on a journey through a time and place completely foreign to her, and yet one that, much like the time and place she came from, is defined by death, loss, fear, and uncertainty. A journey in which she must find a way to honor her mother--and heal herself--in a world that feels irrevocably broken. Learn more about your ad choices.

This summer, the city of Paris announced plans to open a museum to showcase the work of architect Hector Guimard. He is the man behind the iconic Paris Metro entrances, several Art Nouveau buildings in Paris, and some very beautiful furniture and decorations in museum displays around the world.  And better still: The museum will be housed in one of the very few buildings remaining in Paris that Guimard designed himself (The Hotel Mezzara in the 16th arrondissement).  I've been a fan of Guimard and Art Nouveau for years, so let's take a deeper dive into the topic in general, with the help of this 2023 episode.  What is Art Nouveau? Who was Guimard, really, and why was his work so important? Where can you find it in Paris? And what's his legacy? All those questions are answered in this episode, with help from tour guide Boris Petrovic from Paris in Person (find his Art Nouveau tour here) and from Paris head auctioneer Christophe Lucien.

As France heats up, an experiment simulating life in 50C aims to get people to take climate change more seriously. Faced with a growing demand for eggs, France looks for ways to boost homegrown production and halt the need for imports. And a look back at the first line of the Paris metro, which opened in 1900. France just experienced its hottest June since 2003, with several days of extreme heat at the end of the month that left two people dead and slowed the country down – halting work outdoors and closing schools. The heatwave is a taste of what the future might hold, as global warming leads to more extreme weather conditions. The Human Adaptation Institute has created an immersive experience of what life at 50C would be like. Jeanne Richard reports from the mobile lab as it tours France to raise awareness over the need to mitigate and adapt to climate change, one hot individual at a time. (Listen @0') France is Europe's largest egg producer, yet it's struggling to meet growing demand from people looking for a cheap source of protein. Eggs are now being imported from Ukraine where environmental, health and animal welfare norms are far lower. Alice Richard, head of the National Egg Promotion Committee (CNPO), talks about the need to increase home-grown production and make it easier for farmers to start or expand their farms. Cyril Ernst, campaign manager with Anima, whose mission is to put an end to laying hens in cages, insists any easing of regulations for new farms mustn't be at the expense of animal welfare. (Listen @16'45'') The first line of the Paris metro opened on 19 July 1900, after decades of wrangling between the capital and the state slowed down its development. Today the metro system is 245kms long, with 16 lines covering the entire city and beyond.

Alexandra Ganipeau runs the French Language school in Melbourne "The French Hack". She has connected people in Australia to France over many years, through organising cafe catch ups as well teaching French to people of all ages.Recently I chatted to her about how she is now connecting people to France with a weekly dose of Frenchy vibes via her Weekly French Bites. Over 52 weeks Francophiles can experience a "bite" of French culture, language and fabulousness with different themes such as French ordering at restaurants, how to enjoy apèro, the French art of wearing scarves or even tips to navigate the Paris Metro or French market etiquette. I found when I had a sneak preview of the Weekly French Bites, it stayed in my head long after I'd finished reading and brought back memories of travels there as well as sparking ideas for my next adventure!Alex and I chatted about our connections to France, how we maintain slow and deep connections when we travel as well as when home in Australia. When Alex chats in this episode about her visits back "home" to Bordeaux and the south west of France, I felt like I had escapes there with her momentarily. I also learned from her about some ways I can be a little bit French everyday, such as picking herbs straight from the garden and adding to a teapot rather than loose leaf or tea bags! This is a French way of connecting garden to the kitchen that I had never even considered!Alex has a giveaway to a lucky Loulabelle's FrancoFiles listener... 52 weeks of French Inspo with a 12 month membership to Weekly French Bites!

This week we hear about how the unpopular President Emmanuel Macron plans to box himself out of a corner into the centre of the ring and if he's actually going to hold any of his much talked about referendums.We'll also find out about France's urban rodeos and why they are so popular but also so dangerous.We'll hear why the scandalous Dreyfus affair is such a key moment in French history, and why the impact is still being felt today.We'll explain why we shouldn't complain too much about all the bureaucracy in France and the little known rules around what you can bring on the Paris Metro - plants, dogs, suitcases… we've cleared it all for you so you don't get fined.Host Ben McPartland is joined by the team at The Local France Emma Pearson, Gen Mansfield and John Lichfield.Further reading:Macron backs holding referendums on French social and economic reformsWhat are France's 'urban rodeos'?French lawmakers want Dreyfus promoted 130 years after scandalOPINION: Let's stop complaining, French bureaucracy really isn't that badParis woman fined €150 for taking 'too large' plant on the MetroSuitcases, pets and DIY equipment - what can you take on the Paris Metro?

G is for Guimard - Hector Guimard that is. He is the architect behind the iconic Paris Metro entrances, several Art Nouveau buildings in Paris, and some very beautiful furniture and decorations in museum displays around the world.  But what is Art Nouveau? Who was Guimard, really, and why was his work so important? Where can you find it in Paris? And what's his legacy? All those questions are answered in this episode, with help from tour guide Boris Petrovic from Paris in Person (find his Art Nouveau tour here), from Paris head auctioneer Chrisophe Lucien, and from Julie Treumann of the Driehaus Museum in Chicago.  Do you like this podcast?

In the new episode of Talking France, we'll be discussing why storm clouds are gathering over the French parliament and why the next few weeks and months look set to be tempestuous for President Emmanuel Macron and his government. We'll lay out the battles that lie ahead and what's likely to happen.And we'll also hear about yet more of Macron's ministers and advisors landing in hot water and what it could all mean for the president.We'll hear about why French towns are boycotting the world's biggest sporting event, an historic moment for the Paris Metro and we'll bring you the definitive answer to the question: "what is the best part of France's coastline?"We'll also try to answer that age old question of "Whether French workers are the biggest strikers of them all?"

The Paris Metro, engineered by Fulgence Bienvenüe and inaugurated on 19th July, 1900, was far from a world first: London, Budapest and Vienna had all beaten France in the race to create the next generation of subterranean trains.  However, this didn't stop Parisian anxiety about their new subway. Would the electric lines kill innocent travellers? Would being so close to sewers expose commuters to disease? Would the Metropolitan become a ‘Necropolitan' - a DEATH LINE? In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly consider the rival proposals for aerial rail systems that could have been built instead; explain why it is that you can get phone signal on the Metro, but not the Underground; and explain why classic calligraphy of the station signs was not widely appreciated at the time…  Further Reading: • ‘Secrets of The Paris Metro' (The New York Times, 2000): https://www.nytimes.com/2000/11/19/travel/secrets-of-the-paris-metro.html • ‘Trains, Culture, and Mobility By Benjamin Fraser, Steven D.

Hello! This episode is all about my recent trip to France. I've not long returned from around 10 days going around Annecy, Lyon, and Paris with my friend Laura, and I thought it made sense to do a pod about it. Partly this is because it was my first trip abroad since both Covid and full Brexit had kicked in. And partly because it was an easy episode to do that didn't require any real effort or sourcing contributions, because obviously I didn't record a pod in advance. Topics discussed include: * Hair Dye - I have purple hair again * The background to why I went, and how it's weird two of my good friends have the same birthday * Getting proof of Covid vaccinations, and how we didn't need them in the end * Baguettes for breakfast * Kebabs for dinner * Local food from Lyon and Senegal * I don't like sharing beds * The joys of cheap hotels on the edge of nowhere * Flying in the age of delays, cancellations, and being a third-country national * Bus stations are ugly and unhelpful * The Paris Metro has unhelpfully-named stations * Finding flowers but not water-lilies in Giverny * Getting sunburn in Annecy * French old towns are quite pretty * Loud music in Roman ruins * Cities with rivers running through them * Disused railway lines and gold-covered buildings * A million dead people, but in a good way There are no contributions in this pod, but my friend Laura gets a lot of mentions. A PDF transcript of this episode is available. As always, if you have anything to say about the topic, or indeed about my podcasting in general, leave a comment or let me know. I also have a newsletter with extra content, and where I'll be mentioning future podcast episodes if you want to make your own contribution. I also have a Patreon - if you like what you hear, and want to access exclusive content (or just to show your appreciation), then head on over. Until next time, bye for now. :)

Taki Watanga was conceived on the Paris Metro. A simple conversation that rapidly turned into a dare. “Be brave and take hold of your obvious and quite frankly unique talents”.In 2019 Mark Hedges, the director of London's West End production of Phantom of theOpera, presented a challenge to Chrissy: develop a drag queen persona for cabaret and burlesque shows. She seized the opportunity and immediately began collaborating withhim to create her alter ego: Taki Watanga.To create this unique personality Chrissy would draw on her own fascinating life as a performer, a curious seeker, experienced yoga practitioner and adventures.... Growing up in the aftermath of the civil rights movement, the Atlanta native was immersed in the soulful oratory of the African-American community.Melding that experience with her Scottish and Native American ancestry contributed to her unique cross-cultural perspective. While still a teenager Chrissy earned the opportunity to perform with Robert Shaw and the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra in Leonard Bernstein's Mass.Soon after she moved to Nashville, Tennessee where she was a singer and dancer forOpryland U.S.A. During her residency in the Home of County Music', she recorded background vocals for Grammy-winning country artists Reba McEntire, Tammy Wynette. Through her diverse career, Chrissy continues to delight audiences with her unfettered wit, expressive playfulness, and exuberant personality.https://www.instagram.com/taki_watanga/https://www.facebook.com/christiineflowers.actricevoicetalent/http://www.christine-flowers.com/main.php?ca=10&p=12&tt=teaching&lang=enhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/christine-flowers-25073311/?originalSubdomain=frhttps://yogaflowerparis.com/Support the show (https://www.patreon.com/join/Laviecreative)
