Since his return to the US presidency, Donald Trump has launched a maximum-pressure campaign on Iran in pursuit of a nuclear deal, in sharp contrast with a more diplomatic approach towards Venezuela. How will these geopolitical strategies affect oil exports, spot markets, and the role of players like China on the global stage? Jeff Mower, Kate Winston, Chris van Moessner, and Pat Harrington unpack the latest moves from the Trump administration regarding Iran and Venezuela and what they mean for oil prices and the market landscape.

For the first Oil Markets episode of 2024, S&P Global Commodity Insights' oil experts team up across pricing, news and research to provide a fresh look at the crudes everyone is talking about — the new grades from Guyana's Stabroek Block. Jeff Mower speaks with Ha Nguyen, Felipe Perez and Pat Harrington about how Liza, Unity Gold and Payara Gold are helping drive global production growth outside of OPEC. They discuss production forecasts, how action from Venezuela could affect growing exports, and where Guyana's crude is going. How are emerging refiner preferences affecting the price of the new Guyanese grades? And with turmoil in the Red Sea disrupting trade flows and boosting the price for some crudes in the Atlantic Basin, what is in store for Guyanan oil?

Although stuntmen did most of the underwater work, Elvis Presley, cast as Navy frogman Ted Jackson, whose job it was to diffuse sunken mines, still had alot of scenes in and around water in 1967's Easy Come, Easy Go. This necessitated being clothed head to toe in scuba gear and getting wet occasionally - two things Elvis was not a fan of. Also appearing in this film, one of the last of Elvis' movie career, were an off shore treasure subplot, a yoga class musical number, hippies in full body paint and One Day at a Time star Pat Harrington as the owner of a seaside shanty. Dan and Vicky discuss the musical adventure directed by John Rich along with lots of recently seen. Take notes! There's alot here! Shyamalan's Knock at the Cabin, Shudder's Deadtectives, Significant Other on Paramount +, Netflix's You People, Peacock's Poker Face, Magic Mike's Last Dance, Luther: The Fallen Sun and SO much more.

With the imminent release of Baz Luhrmann's big screen biopic, It Happened One Year checked the 1967 release schedule and found not one, not two, but three big movies starring the King of Rock 'n' Roll, and figured it was high time to give them a watch. They aren't Elvis's best films, they aren't his best known films, but they are all, in their own odd ways, fascinating hunk-a hunks of entertainment - Double Trouble, Easy Come Easy Go, and Clambake! With such luminary co-stars as Elsa Lanchester, Bill Bixby, Michael Murphy, Pat Harrington, Pat Priest, Will Hutchins, and Shelley Fabares, these films are long on talent, very long on musical numbers, and murky on plot! Listen as Sarah & Joe recount their Elvis connections, detail the highlights of visiting Graceland in Memphis, rate the films on a scale of one-to-five hip gyrations, and spotlight the most ludicrous tacked-on song in each production.

Michigan: Pat Harrington from Muchmore Harrington Smalley & Associates joined us on October 3 to outline the issues gubernatorial candidates Gretchen Whitmer (D) and Attorney General Bill Schuette (R) are running on. Mr. Harrington talks about the state’s “blue pockets” and which chamber he believes is the most likely (though not guaranteed) to flip. We also discuss different post-election scenarios and what they would mean for next session.
The voice is iconic. The riffs are monolithic. Pat Harrington is the man behind the Electric Beard Of Doom, one of the most important cloudcasts of the heavy underground, and the mastermind of the power trio Geezer that makes the fuzz a almost religious thing. We are honored to have him as a guest on The Void. Dig it!
Because our mailboxes are flooding with requests for year-end giving, we're listening back to an episode we did last year with philanthropist, instigator, and friend to the arts, Dorie Vollum, who also kindly came aboard as our guest curator.This week, Vollum helps us explore what giving means — not just to the individual giving, but for the arts organizations on the receiving end, and how those relationships work. We look at her family’s deep history in the Portland economy and supporting institutions ranging from the Oregon Symphony to the Oregon College of Arts and Crafts. And we get personal with the people and institutions that Dorie personally has dedicated herself to, beginning with Menomena band member Justin Harris.The Tectonic Shift That Altered Oregon - 6:03How much of Oregon's arts and culture has been fueled with oscilloscope money? More than you think. The Vollum family made its money at Tektronix, a hugely successful maker of testing and measuring equipment founded by Howard Vollum and Jack Murdoch (whose name tops another big foundation). The men started Tektronix after World War II to make a better oscilloscope. By 2007, the manufacturer was valued at $2.85 billion. Vollum and Murdoch both ended up distributing much of their wealth to organizations across the Northwest, although they went about it in very different ways. Grist For The Mill: PICA's Origins - 13:39The firebrand founder of the Portland Institute for Contemporary Art, Kristy Edmunds, was a big part of what drew Vollum to join in among PICA's early supporters. But there's more to the story. We hear from Edmunds, architect Pat Harrington and former board member Peter Koehler Jr. about what drew each of them to the idea of a maverick contemporary art group that would form a link between Portland and the wider world. Seeding the Portland Japanese Garden - 20:24The Garden is near and dear to Vollum’s heart. Not only is it the first place her mother-in-law took her in Portland (the Vollums played a big role in its early years), but now she's chairing the garden's $33.5 million capital campaign with $9 million more to go. It's thanks in part to her that this popular attraction keeps growing, up from 100,000 annual visitors to almost a half million this year. With the addition of its new Cultural Village and other improvements, the Garden now stands to be one of the most important Japanese institutions in the world, and the only place outside Japan that teaches the ancient art of Japanese gardening. We ask: what does it take to pull off something this ambitious?How Will Shifts at Meyer Memorial Trust Impact Artists? 30:29Significant changes are afoot in the upper end of Oregon's foundations. In 2015, the Meyer Memorial Trust, the state's third largest foundation, sent a shock wave through the nonprofit world, announcing it was taking a temporary hiatus on new grants. It gives a lot of money to a lot of groups, including arts and cultural groups, and it's rethinking everything. We spoke with Doug Stamm, the ex-Nike executive who runs the Trust, and asked him how the changes at Meyer will impact Oregon artists. The Gift That Changed Everything - 40:36In 2011, the Oregon Community Foundation got a call no one saw coming. The Portland manufacturer Fred Fields had died and left $150 million to OCF with the simple instruction: spend the money on education and the arts in Oregon. OCF did not have much arts infrastructure and suddenly found itself the biggest arts funder in the state. What do they do with those extra millions every year? They bet it on innovation.

Philanthropist. Instigator. Friend to the arts. Dorie Vollum is all of these, and also, this week’s guest curator on “State of Wonder.” We’re talking about giving and philanthropy, and Dorie is what we’d consider an expert. She’s been instrumental in the growth of the Portland Institute for Contemporary Art and the Portland Japanese Garden, leading a capital campaign for the Garden’s current expansion. Her husband, Larry, has been on the board of the Oregon Symphony for six years, plus several others. And his parents, Howard and Jean Vollum, were leading philanthropists for half a decade. Dorie helps us explore what giving means — not just to the individual giving, but for the arts organizations on the receiving end, and how those relationships work. We look at her family’s deep history in the Portland economy. We get personal with the people and institutions the Vollums have benefacted.Grist For The Mill: PICA's OriginsThe firebrand founder of the Portland Institute for Contemporary Art, Kristy Edmunds, was a big part of what drew Dorie to join in among PICA's early supporters.

Not only is it the first place her mother-in-law took her in Portland (the Vollums played a big role in its early years), but now she's chairing the garden's $33.5 million capital campaign. It's thanks in part to her that this popular attraction keeps growing, up from 100,000 annual visitors to 350,000 in the last decade. A newly expanded Garden will reopen to the public next spring, but construction won’t be done until 2017 and the campaign is still about $9 million short. What's the plan?How Will Shifts at Meyer Memorial Trust Impact Artists? Significant changes are afoot in the upper end of Oregon foundations.
