Podcast appearances and mentions of peter winkler

Der SWR2 True – Crime – Podcast „Sprechen wir über Mord“ feiert heute seine 100ste Folge. Mit der Stammbesetzung, dem früheren Bundesrichter Thomas Fischer und dem ARD – Terrorismusexperten Holger Schmidt. Für die Jubiläumssendung habe man einen der renommiertesten Gerichtspsychiater im Südwesten eingeladen: Peter Winkler. Der erzähle etwas über die Rolle des psychiatrischen Sachverständigen bei Mordprozessen. Der für ihn spektakulärste Fall unter den 100 Podcasts sei der mit Angela Merkel als Gast gewesen, so Holger Schmidt. „Mit ihr haben wir bei ihrem ersten Podcastauftritt überhaupt die Morde in Wagners „Ring des Nibelungen“ besprochen“. True Crime Podcasts boomen nach wie vor, denn : „Hörer/Hörerinnen fürchten das Böse und wollen es konsumieren, während sie selber in einer sicheren Umgebung sind“. Allerdings sei der SWR2 – Podcast „Sprechen wir über Mord“ anders unterwegs : „Bei uns regt man sich nicht über einen entsetzlichen Fall auf. Wir wollen auch die Strafrechtsdogmatik erklären, die Funktion des Strafrechts und die gesellschaftliche Kritik an einem überbordenden Gerichtsurteil oder die Berichterstattung darüber". Wobei man nicht nur juristisch vorgebildete User habe. „Ganz viele Menschen, finden es interessant, wie Thomas Fischer das erklärt und wie man Strafrecht auch als Nicht – Jurist verstehen kann“. Der SWR2 – True – Crime – Podcast „Sprechen wir über Mord“ erscheint alle zwei Wochen in der ARD Audiothek, auf SWR2.de und auf den gängigen Podcast – Portalen

Als Peter Winkler vor gut 30 Jahren Christian Höhener kennenlernt, hätte er sich als Komiker nur in seinen kühnsten Träumen vorstellen können, was für einen Erfolg sie haben werden. Als Komikerduo «Lapsus» haben die beiden auf den Schweizer Showbühnen ganz viel erlebt und verschiedene Erfahrungen sammeln können. Mit legendären Auftritten im «Das Zelt» oder als Moderatoren vom «Arosa Humor Festival», sind sie vom Schweizer Comedy-Himmel nicht mehr wegzudenken. Doch wie ist es, eine solch lange Zeit im Rampenlicht zu stehen? Diese und weitere Fragen hat Florian Wüthrich im Rahmen der Hope-Regiozeitung Zürich Peter Winkler alias Theo Hitzig von Lapsus gefragt. Dabei kam ein ernster Talk, bei dem aber auch mehrere Lacher vorkommen, heraus.

Peter Winkler has been collecting mathematical puzzles since childhood. He has had published two previous collections, and recently he compiled his largest curated collection to date. Mathematical Puzzles (A K Peters, 2021) also takes an alluring new approach to the genre: In the Roman-numbered front matter, 300+ puzzles are presented, roughly in order of increasing difficulty. Fuller discussions of the puzzles are then organized into 24 chapters according to the key insight that leads to their solutions. Each insight gets a brief mathematical treatment, and by the end of each chapter the reader is primed to appreciate an important and kindred mathematical result. In our interview, Dr. Winkler walked me through a handful of puzzles from two chapters. The first, "The Law of Small Numbers", gives a tongue-in-cheek name to the strategy of gaining insight from a smaller version of a larger problem. The puzzles lead up to a discussion of perfect matchings, whose small-number analogues reveal an elegant geometric solution. The second, "Infinite Choice", begins with some variations on hat-guessing puzzles, which turn out to admit surprisingly powerful strategies even among infinitudes of players! The chapter closes with an accessible peek at graph coloring problems. The book is delightfully designed with playful header fonts and illustrations by cartoonist Jess Johnson, through an equally delightful collaboration we took a moment to discuss. As Dr. Winkler aimed, i believe the book will appeal both to the puzzle enthusiast with a limited background in mathematics and to the mathematics enthusiast who, like myself, never really took to puzzles—as well, of course, to those dual enthusiasts whom the author epitomizes. Suggested companion works: How to Solve It: A New Aspect of Mathematical Method by Georg Pólya Martin Gardner's Mathematical Games: The Entire Collection of his Scientific American Columns  Peter Winkler is the William Morrill Professor of Mathematics and Computer Science at Dartmouth College and, for 2019–2020, the Distinguished Visiting Professor for the Public Dissemination of Mathematics at the National Museum of Mathematics. He is the author of 160 research papers, a dozen patents, two previous puzzle books, a book on cryptographic techniques in the game of bridge, and a portfolio of compositions for ragtime piano.

He's working on a new puzzle book.Insights from this episode:Details on different puzzles and what they test and how people benefit from puzzling.Benefits of reader feedback including better solutions and ideas for new puzzles.Strategies on teaching students, getting them interested in why versus how, and making math fun.How to use math and puzzles to improve your reasoning and intuition in other aspects of life.How to design a good puzzle and what makes a good puzzle according to Pete. Quotes from the show:On a particular puzzle question: “What makes this a beautiful question is that reasonable, rational thought leads to the wrong answer.” – Peter Winkler“It's easier for people to learn how to do something, than it is to learn why it works.” – Peter WinklerOn getting students involved in learning: “They get that spark and then later they actually want to understand it better.” – Syd FinkelsteinOn associating math with fun: “If we could just make that association and do no more, I think that would be a major accomplishment.” – Peter Winkler“Puzzles help us to figure out where our intuition is likely to go off the rails.” – Peter Winkler“Having something there when you need it, is just as good as having something that is there all the time.” – Peter WinklerOn superstition: “There's evidence in various places that when you think something is true you behave in a way that is consistent with that.” – Syd Finkelstein“What makes a puzzle a good puzzle is not being easy or hard, it's being clever, it's being engaging, it's being fun.” – Peter Winkler“Most things about leadership are not linear.” – Syd Finkelstein“I have a theory that puzzles actually help you think more about finding the truth and a little bit less about arguing a point of view before you think about it.” – Peter WinklerStay Connected: Syd FinkelsteinWebsite: http://thesydcast.comLinkedIn: Sydney FinkelsteinTwitter: @sydfinkelsteinFacebook: The SydcastInstagram: The Sydcast Peter WinklerDartmouth College: Professor Peter WinklerMuseum of Mathematics: https://momath.orgSubscribe to our podcast + download each episode on Stitcher, iTunes, and Spotify.

The lovely Ben-Hur episode I had planned for everyone ended up vanishing into cyberspace leaving me scrambling for a last minute replacement.  Thankfully that came in the form of two interviews with classic film authors Peter Winkler (author of Real James Dean: Intimate Memories From Those Who Knew Him Best) and Scott Tracy Griffin (author of Tarzan on Film). The two sit down with me to talk their respective titles and the stars that inspired them.   Be sure to follow Ticklish Business on Twitter at @Ticklish_Biz.   Next Week: Ben-Hur - Take 2

小编有10张票票，想带娃娃去看的，上微信寻找方法吧~Five Fools, or Wu-Ge-Sha-Gua in Chinese (5个傻瓜) is a vaudeville style performance about a circus with some rather unusual problems.The Clown is mad, the Musician is bad, the Strongman is love struck, and the circus' new star, called "Little Flower", won't speak at all. Somehow within all this madness a touching story emerges where love and support conquer fear and a bright future unfolds.Park Young Hee is an experienced South Korean director, and she thinks Five Fools conveys the importance communication skills that may be useful for children in their daily life everywhere in the world."Five Fools is a circus vaudeville kind of show, but in the actual story, we talk about communication with others. And also we talk about courage. Like we're faced lots of challenges and big tasks in our daily life. When you make some mistakes to your dear friends or people, it's very hard to say "sorry, I'm sorry". So this show will give them an example when we actually hurt other peoples' feeling, then how they react and how we have to build a friendship with each other. So you'll see a lot of big themes through our life but in a very interesting way."The circus is a world wide phenomenon that exists in every culture and has been dazzling audiences for centuries.Meanwhile, the soul of a musical is composed of a collection of melodies. Peter Winkler is a professional musician from Australia.He has received the Australia Council Roz Bower award for high achievement in the field of community arts and cultural development.He appears very excited when talking about how he has produced the music, particularly for Five Fools. "And this show, because it is set inside the circus, and the story is inside the circus, I decided to look into the history of circus music. And I found that there was a very beautiful style of circus music in the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s, which was a mixture of circus style with jazz. So I decided that I would compose the music for Five Fools with circus and jazz music. So you will hear that in all the songs, they range from very circusy, so circus styles to some quite sophisticated jazz styles as well."In addition to live music, acrobatics, illusion and ample amounts of comedy, this show also utilizes interactive sets. Peter Winkler explains the purpose of setting up many interactions between performer and the audience members."We use a lot of inter-activities in the show, because we want children to be part of the performance. We want them to feel involved in the story. So we get them to perform with us by singing and dancing and moving."Aside from being a musical for children, another key word to describe this drama is bilingual.Nowadays, bilingual plays are getting increasingly popular in China, where English education is an important issue and many parents are eager to help their kids learn English from a young age.Peter Winkler is also a qualified early childhood teacher. According to him, this show's interactive sets are aimed to create a fast paced and hilarious visit to the world of English language."It's a bilingual show. And the show is mostly in Chinese because we want all the children to fully understand. But there are times when we move into English and the children join in by speaking words and by singing songs in English with us. And the songs help them to tell the story. I think if children enjoy speaking English by coming to a show like this and having fun and expressing themselves and speaking, it's much better than sitting in a very cold classroom and studying with a book. They have to do both. But if they have some fun with English, then they will be freer and more confident about their speaking."The world premier of this production was at "Latt Children's Theatre", in Seoul, in October 2006. South Korean director Park Young Hee recalls how the drama first met the local spectators that year."When we put this show in Seoul, it was very new style for the children show. Particularly we have two different languages in Korea. So in Korea, we play with English and Korea. So there are not many children theater play with bilingually. So that was a very big challenge. And also at the same time, actors need to do lots of different things like acrobat skills and juggling and magic. We do no fake. It was all real things. So when audiences watch the show, they are really amazed. How hard we put on the show for the children. And the music also… people really love it. We've done three productions in Korea and still many audiences remember the show, and still lots of Korean audiences are asking us to put this show again in Korea."Now since the show will come to China, both director and music producer wish Five Fools will be as acclaimed and warmly received by the audience here as in South Korea.Five Fools is expected to give both delight and knowledge to local kids in Beijing during their summer vacation. And also it will have your kids confidently participating in speaking English by the end of the performance.Since its debut on August 20th, Five Fools will be shown 20 times till September 1st.
