John Kosh in conversation with David Eastaugh https://koshdesign.com/ Kosh is a Multi-Grammy award winning art director and former creative director for Apple Records. In the mid-sixties, he was designer for The Royal Ballet and The Royal Opera House, where he produced a gold foil covered program for the anniversary Royal Gala attended by her Royal Majesty, Queen Elizabeth II. At the age of 22, Kosh was responsible for designing the innovative entry portal to the “Young & Fantastic” avant garde art and sculpture exhibition on The Mall in London's West End. Following his work for The Opera House, he met John Lennon and Yoko Ono in 1968 as they had admired his work as art director of Art & Artists magazine. They invited him to meet them one evening at Hammersmith Hospital, where Yoko was recuperating. Shortly thereafter they offered him a desk at Apple Records at 3 Saville Row. His first project was the “War Is Over (if you want it)” Christmas card, which led to the worldwide WAR IS OVER billboard campaign that continues to this day. He designed The Beatles' Get Back picture book with the Let It Be album package, the Abbey Road album cover, John & Yoko's elaborate Wedding Album box set, and Hey Jude. Kosh was one of the few attendees at the Beatles' farewell rooftop concert. While working for Apple Records, he designed Mary Hopkin's Postcard, Billy Preston's That's The Way God Planned It, George Harrison's Radha Krisna Temple and The Plastic Ono Band's, Life With The Lions, plus singles, “Give Peace a Chance”, “Instant Karma”, “Cold Turkey” and “Power To The People.”  

Happy New Year to you.This time last year I did something I'd never done before, which was to publish my New Year's resolutions.I was nervous about doing it because, despite constantly putting stuff out on the internet, I'm actually quite private about some things, and it made me feel quite vulnerable publishing them.However, publicly stating goals pushes you to achieve them. You're making yourself accountable, so you're more likely to deliver. It also clarifies what you're actually looking for, and solidifies goals beyond abstract ideas. It can also prompt those reading them to help in some way, whether through advice, introductions or collaboration.I'm glad I did it, and I'm sure it helped me achieve a lot of those goals.Here they are, in case of interest:The health, body and mind stuff I pretty much succeeded at - I stayed fit, I drank even less (to the point of barely drinking at all), my fasting fell by the wayside and so my weight has crept up a little. I hit my reading target - just - though really I should read a lot more.Money was also a goal hit with gold, silver and most Flying Frisby tips all performing well (though let's be honest last year was a bonanza year for pretty much everyone except bitcoin maximalists).On the love and family side of things, I think I did ok - you'll have to ask my kids and mother if I have been a good father/son. My other big target of settling down with a certain Miss Downing was an abject failure, which is probably for the best all things considered, and I am grateful to my Guardian Angel for stepping in there.On the work and career front I should consider the year a success. The live shows were brilliant, sold out, we have a lot of dates in for the spring. The book has also done well. It's coming out in the US next year.Above all I have got Kisses on a Postcard moving forward, which was the most important target of the year.The two big failures were that I didn't finish two writing projects I had in mind - my Gilbert and Sullivan and Peasants Revolt musicals - nor did I do many gigs in the US or practice my uke every day, but I probably asked a bit too much of myself.All in all I should consider 2025 an annus perhaps not quite mirabilis, but certainly bonus, prosperus, felix et secundus - and be very grateful for itSo what are my goals this year?They're not unlike last year.Love and Family* Be a good dad to Samuel, Eliza, Lola and Ferdie, and to daughter-in-law, Millie.* Be a good grandad to Cecilia.* Be a good son to my mum.* Get a girlfriend.Kisses on a Postcard* Get the script as good as it can possibly be (happening as we speak).* Get a s**t hot director and cast* Raise 10 million quid* Shoot the next great musical.Easy!MoneySame as last year. Invest well and grow my net worth - and the net worth of Flying Frisby readers - by at least 20%. I beat that by some margin in 2025 in what, looking back, was a gift of a year thanks to gold, silver and the miners.If you live in the Third World Country such as the UK, I urge you to own gold or silver. The pound is going to be further devalued. The bullion dealer I recommend is The Pure Gold Company. Pricing is competitive, quality of service is high. They deliver to the UK, the US, Canada and Europe or you can store your gold with them. More here.Hard to see things being as easy in 2026, but I've got my eye on a few things. I will keep you very much in the loop.You know you should.Work & Career - Laughter, Acclaim, Opportunity* Grow the Flying Frisby by 20% in subscribers and revenue. Break into the Top 50. (Currently 60th)* Comedy - keep storming the gigs, land more tour dates in bigger venues selling more tickets* Promote The Secret History of Gold really well in the US when it launches in May* Build my online presence as both comic and commentator - I've got a specific plan for this* Keep writing songs and material, get better at the uke and make a start on guitarHealth, Body & MindI'm 76kg (12 stone/167lb). My weight has crept up these last few months, mainly since my habit of fasting has fallen by the wayside. I hit 67kg (10 ½ stone, 147lb) at one point in 2024 leading to several interventions from friends telling me I looked like a lesbian Gary Lineker. Maybe. But I felt great. I reckon my ideal weight is 72kg (11st 7, 160lb). So get there and stay there. Which means:* Fasting more regularly* Weights two or three times a week* Something aerobic two or three times a week* Daily stretching - dead hangs, pelvic floors, neck exercises* Stay off the booze* Eat more protein and starve that sweet tooth* Play more racket sports (good for the brain apparently). More tennis and table tennis, get into padel and pickleball.PLUS* Morning breathing practice and regular meditation/prayer* Read another 15 booksWish me luck!What about you - what are your goals for the year? Stick them in the comments if you fancy making yourself accountable tooIn the meantime, let me wish you a happy, healthy and prosperous 2026.I'll be back mid-week with my annual predictions piece.Until next time,DominicPS I was planning to take Christmas and New Year off. Never mind.PPS The tax loss trade is now positioned and ready to go. Take a look. This is a public episode.

Hello and welcome to the 100th episode of Making Stitches Podcast. Way back in April of 2020 when I published my first ever Making Stitches Podcast episode, I had no idea that over 5 years later, I would be publishing episode 100! That blows my tiny mind!In the months leading up to this milestone, I had a couple of conversations with my lovely yarny friend, Christine Perry (aka Winwick Mum) and she suggested marking this podcast milestone with a different kind of episode - one with me as the guest.After much consideration, I took Christine up on her kind offer and let her turn the tables - asking me the questions instead. At the start of December, we had a lovely time having a long chat and recording this episode. Among the topics we covered were where I first learned to sew, knit and crochet, my career in journalism and how I got started in radio, our family's time in Gibraltar and how that led to starting my Postcard from Gibraltar blog back in 2015, making friends through the world of creativity, podcasting and blogging and, of course, 5 years of Making Stitches Podcast. I hope you enjoy listening!Huge thanks to Christine for being the host of Making Stitches Podcast this time!

658. Part 2 of our conversation with Scott Tilton. Scott is the Co-Founder and Director of the Nous Foundation, a platform for exchange between Louisiana and the French-speaking world. He lived the past several years in Paris where he worked as a consultant at Ernst & Young France on projects for the European Union, the UN, and the French Government. While in Paris, Scott launched and spearheaded an initiative that saw Louisiana become the first U.S. state to join the International Organization of the Francophonie (La Francophonie).

George Washington Cable. “Café des Exiles.” An antiquated story-and-a-half Creole cottage sitting right down on the banquette, as do the Choctaw squaws who sell bay and sassafras and life-everlasting, with a high, close board-fence shutting out of view the diminutive garden on the southern side. An ancient willow droops over the roof of round tiles, and partly hides the discolored stucco, which keeps dropping off into the garden as though the old café was stripping for the plunge into oblivion — disrobing for its execution. I see, well up in the angle of the broad side gable, shaded by its rude awning of clapboards, as the eyes of an old dame are shaded by her wrinkled hand, the window of Pauline. Oh for the image of the maiden, were it but for one moment, leaning out of the casement to hang her mocking-bird and looking down into the garden, — where, above the barrier of old boards, I see the top of the fig-tree, the pale green clump of bananas, the tall palmetto with its jagged crown, Pauline's own two orange-trees holding up their hands toward the window, heavy with the promises of autumn; the broad, crimson mass of the many-stemmed oleander, and the crisp boughs of the pomegranate loaded with freckled apples, and with here and there a lingering scarlet blossom. This week in Louisiana history. December 27, 1814. Jackson's men repell a British reconnaissance force near Rodriguez Canal. This week in New Orleans history. Jean Étienne de Boré (December 27, 1741 – February 1, 1820) was the first Mayor of New Orleans. His wife, Marie Marguerite d'Estrehan, came from one of the most prominent families of colonial Louisiana; her father, Jean Baptiste d'Estrehan, was the Royal Treasurer of French Louisiana. Etienne owned a plantation a few miles above the City of New Orleans. There he had originally cultivated indigo. But when this product lost its market as a result of competition from Guatemala, he turned his attention to the manufacture of sugar. On his estate he set up a sugar mill and there, in 1795, had, with the aid of two Cubans, Mendez and Lopez, succeeded in producing the first granulated sugar ever known in the colony, with the result that agriculture was completely revolutionized. He was appointed mayor by Governor William C. C. Claiborne in 1803; he resigned to look after his personal affairs the following year. He died at around 80 years old, and is buried in New Orleans' Saint Louis Cemetery No. 1. One of his daughters was the mother of Louisiana historian Charles Gayarré. This week in Louisiana.

Hello there and Happy Stitchmas!It's that time of year again when I take a look back at the past 12 months and choose some of the highlights of my podcasting year. 2025 has been a big year for me, I celebrated 10 years of blogging (Postcard from Gibraltar and then Making Stitches Blog) and 5 years of Making Stitches Podcast.In this episode I share some of the chats I have had this year and you may have heard before as well as some new chats too. Included in this episode are: Christine Perry from Winwick Mum speaking about 10 years of the Winwick Mum sock along.Eleonora Tully from Coastal Crochet talking about 10 years of her blog and our celebration of a decade online with our Let's Celebrate Wreath collaborative crochet pattern.Sara & Sean MacLeod from Crochet in the Glen chatting about the fun they have together and how they love to share their silliness online.Kirstie MacLeod, the artist behind The Red Dress, who I met at Woven in Kirklees on World Stitch Day.Becky Davies-Downes from William & Tilda who appeared a couple of times on the podcast last year.

This week in the Louisiana Anthology. Walter Bowie. Col. James Bowie. "The Sandbar Fight." After two ineffectual exchanges of shots, Wells and Maddox shook hands, but Cuney stepped forward and said to Colonel Crain, “This is a good time to settle our difficulty;” Bowie and Wright also drew, and the firing became general. Crain killed Cuney and shot Bowie through the hip. Bowie drew his knife and rushed upon Colonel Crain. The latter, clubbing his empty pistol, dealt such a terrific blow upon Bowie's head as to bring him to his knees and break the weapon. Before the latter could recover he was seized by Dr. Maddox, who held him down for some moments, but, collecting his strength, he hurled Maddox off just as Major Wright approached and fired at the wounded Bowie, who, steadying himself against a log, half buried in the sand, fired at Wright, the ball passing through the latter's body. Wright then drew a sword-cane, and, rushing upon Bowie, exclaimed, “damn you, you have killed me.” Bowie met the attack, and, seizing his assailant, plunged his “bowie-knife” into his body, killing him instantly. At the same moment Edward Blanchard shot Bowie in the body, but had his arm shattered by a ball from Jefferson Wells. This week in Louisiana history. December 13, 2009.

Vata is responsible for Prana - the life energy, the nervous system - the master panel of our body, and our emotions.

Recently, I have recorded a workshop on - Balancing The Mighty Vata, which has over 6 hrs of content, with notes filled with practical inputs that can be integrated into our life.

654. Today we post our presentation on Liberty in Louisiana at the 2025 Louisiana Studies Conference. Liberty in Louisiana by James Workman is the oldest known extant play about Louisiana. Workman wrote the play in 1803 with the goal of supporting the impending Louisiana Purchase. This was Workman's sole venture in writing drama; he mostly wrote political essays. This time, he thought he could reach a wider audience with a play, but he still had a political objective. His goal was to demonstrate the superior legal system of the United States, which would free Louisiana from the tyranny of the Old World and replace it with the New World's Republic of Freedom. Workman had a ready theme to use in his play — the Black Legend of Spanish Law. Spanish law was denigrated by other European countries.  Its Civil Law, modelled on old Roman Law, had the best reputation, but it was slow, secret, incredibly complex, and open to corruption. The Criminal Law was markedly worse in the popular imagination. It was not seen as ancient Roman but as excessively Medieval and barbaric. Spain used several forms of capital punishment, mutilation and other corporal punishments, and forced labor. Worst of all was Canon Law — the infamous Spanish Inquisition. The corrupt judge Don Bertoldo embodies this old, corrupt systems that the Americans end. Now available: Liberty in Louisiana: A Comedy.

This week in the Louisiana Anthology. Pisatuntema. Myths of the Louisiana Choctaw. "Hashok Okwa Hui'ga."     There is a certain spirit that lives in marshy places — often along the edges of swamps. It is never seen during the day, only at night, and even then its heart is the only part visible. Its heart appears as a small ball of fire that may be seen moving about, a short distance above the surface of the water.     At night, when a person is passing along a trail or going through the woods, and meets the Hashok Okwa Hui'ga he must immediately turn away and not look at it, otherwise he will certainly become lost and not arrive at his destination that night, but instead, travel in a circle.     The name is derived from the three words: hashok, grass; okwa, water; hui'ga, drop. The two preceding tales refer to the ignis fatuus often seen along the swamps of St Tammany parish. This week in Louisiana history. November 29, 2005.

Award-winning cartoonist Peter Kuper talks about his newest page turner "Wish We Weren't Here, Postcards from the Apocalypse." In it, Kuper deploys bold figures, clever metaphors and some of the best drawings of his career to get his message across.

Welcome to Specifically for Seniors! Today we're delighted to introduce Tony McMullen, affectionately known as “Tony the Democrat.” His story is one of those rare grassroots adventures that begins small and blossoms into something extraordinary. Back in March of 2017, Tony invited just five friends over to handwrite postcards reminding voters about an upcoming election. Five friends, five postcards each—that was it. Yet within a month, that modest gathering had sparked a nationwide movement of 1,200 volunteers who together wrote more than 51,000 postcards. Fast forward to today, and Postcards to Voters has grown into a vibrant community of over 162,000 volunteers across all 50 states, who have collectively sent more than 22 million handwritten postcards to support critical elections.What makes this effort so special is its personal touch. These aren't form letters or computer printouts. Every single postcard is handwritten, often decorated, and mailed by volunteers who want to make a real difference. And it works. Candidates have won races by margins as slim as 95 votes thanks to postcard outreach. Beyond the victories, Tony emphasizes that the friendships, connections, and sense of purpose that volunteers discover along the way have been the most beautiful unintended gift of all.The impact has been remarkable across hundreds of races. Karen Gaddis in Oklahoma won by just 95 votes. Phil Miller in Iowa saw his campaign office windows covered with postcards from volunteers nationwide. Kevin Cavanaugh in New Hampshire won by fewer than a thousand votes. In recent cycles, Postcards to Voters has supported successful recent statewide campaigns in Georgia, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey, with nearly all supported candidates prevailing. Even in tough red districts where victories were elusive, the postcards built foundations for future campaigns and inspired local activists. Getting involved is simple and flexible. Prospective volunteers email Join@tonythedemocrat.org, submit a photo of a sample postcard to show legibility, and once approved can request addresses anytime through Abby the Address Bot. The genius of the program is its three-day commitment system: volunteers only take as many addresses as they can complete within three days, whether that's five postcards or fifty. There are no quotas, no pressure, and volunteers can request more addresses immediately after finishing or take breaks between campaigns. Postcards are designed to look like personal mail—neutral or friendly in style, without campaign logos—so recipients are more likely to read them rather than dismiss them as political junk.Tony reminds us that every campaign is a success because the true goal is strengthening the habit of voting among Democrats, not just winning individual races. The organization is entirely volunteer-run, with no salaries or office space, relying on modest donations to cover technology costs. With around 300 campaigns requesting help each November alone, there is always need for more hands. Even writing just five postcards a month makes a meaningful contribution to this grassroots movement that has become one of the most effective tools for voter outreach nationwide.Learn more and sign up at Postcardstovoters.org to join this inspiring community of volunteers making democracy work one handwritten postcard at a time.

653. Part 2 of our conversation with Kathleen DuVal about her book, Native Nations: A Millennium in North America. “Pulitzer Prize Winner - National Bestseller - A magisterial overview of a thousand years of Native American history” (The New York Review of Books), from the rise of ancient cities more than a thousand years ago to fights for sovereignty that continue today. Winner of the Bancroft Prize, the Cundill History Prize, and the Mark Lynton History Prize. Long before the colonization of North America, Indigenous Americans built diverse civilizations and adapted to a changing world in ways that reverberated globally. And, as award-winning historian Kathleen DuVal vividly recounts, when Europeans did arrive, no civilization came to a halt because of a few wandering explorers, even when the strangers came well armed.

The word came that seven hundred thousand bodies had drawn their last breaths at Verdun, an earth-quaking number for those unacquainted with the greedy appetites of death. She had never been across the sea, but pictured the corpses laid in neat rows like chopped cane at harvest time.     “Apologies, ma'am,” came Small John's voice from the rear stairs.  “I'd'a sent Roberta, but she scared fiercely of high places. You got to come down. The sun will cook you through.”     Five weeks her husband had been gone, and she hadn't even heaved a sigh until she'd tried to fasten her silver bracelet on her own, a task best suited to a second pair of hands. Sweating, she gripped the chain until the metal grew hot in her palm.     “Ma'am?” Small John tried again.  Without turning, she could feel him moving closer. Had he ever touched her once in these long years? “Roberta said you in a fury.”     She turned from the iron railing and flung the bracelet at him hard.  It hit his shoulder, tinkled as it fell onto the slate. He lifted it by one end like a snake and walked toward her.  “I'd'a gone, too,” he said.  “Over there to fight. ‘Cept I don't see like I ought to, and my knee ain't right.”     He watched her as if she might bolt over the edge, body set to lunge. Her temper cooled quick, the way Louisiana afternoons went from sweltering to raising shivers on skin before a hurricane blew in from the gulf.  “Small John?” she asked. She held her shaking wrist out to him, her jaw and throat and chest all gone hot and raw.     She thought he might throw it back at her, but he looked at her straight on, barely glanced down as he slipped the tiny teeth of the clasp together around her wrist, never once touched her skin.

Walker has grown so much and it really shows in the opening shots. Prophetic dreams? Are they talking about us?!?! What happened to the three people around Grover when he gets snatched by that tentacle? Laistrygonian sighting. When it's not Luke trying to kill you... We take a pretty good look at Percy's room. Definitely reflects the inner workings of a kid with ADHD. We love this dream talk. Percy's not the only one having dreams, even if we forget that sometimes. The Stymphalian birds are incredible! Can't wait to see that whole scene in action! Grey Sisters sighting: the comedy is on point. The brief bits of Tyson we get here are very promising. We see TreeThalia being stabbed by Luke. Leah is going to absolutely destroy our emotions with her reactions to Thalia's tree being disturbed. Quick shot of Grover (no, we don't see a wedding dress) and Polyphemus with his shepherd's hook. THE POSTCARDS (is it weird that I kinda hope there's a special feature all about these?!) The side by side of Annabeth and Clarice on the ship? New besties alert?! We are desperately hoping we get to see the transformation of Thalia's bracelet into the Aegis. (Here's a link to those stills we talked about on the Percyseries Insta.) This moving rock shot has us a little stumped, but is Annabeth having her siren visions here? That smooth black and gold rock HAS to be Kronos' sarcophagus (good call, Karen!) Who is the winker? Percy falling freaked us out for a second. The CGI on these battle sequences is INSANE. This season is going to be beyond epic. Our favorite moments from the trailer Our predictions/wants/questions for Percy Jackson and the Olympians season 2 We are both really excited to see that siren scene play out.

I stood behind the center console of my dad's flatboat, tucked closely against him, prouder than any seven-year-old boy could be, riding along while he drove in the darkness of an early cold November morning. We slowly maneuvered through the salty marshes of southern Louisiana in eager pursuit of my very first duck hunt.     As the blistering air seeped through the holes in my oversized camouflaged ski-mask, and the smell of the sputtering motor's exhaust made my nostrils flare, I worked a spotlight at my dad's command. The beam of light shined just over the head of our giddy black Labrador Retriever, past the bow of the boat, and onto the water in front of us. I was outright shivering, but not from the freezing weather. Instead, I was shaking from the icy adrenaline that ran through my veins and throughout all fifty-five pounds of me as I replayed in my head all the stories my dad told me leading up to this moment about the amazing experience of duck hunting.

See! the moon is smiling Down her brightest beams, And the leaflets sleeping, Whisper in their dreams; Hear the merry music, And the peoples' lays, Hear the happy voices Joining in the plays.     There in old Kentucky, On a summer's night, Stands a quadroon maiden, Clothed in robes of white; On her raven ringlets, Orange blossoms sleep, O'er her slender figure, Bridal vestments sweep.     There we see her mistress, Smiling now with pride, On her handsome fav'rite, Whom she sees a bride. There is much rejoicing O'er Eliza's match; Misses Shelby fancies George is a good “catch.”     So the banjo's sounding, And the people sing, Hear them gayly dancing, To the fiddle's ring. But the dawn is breaking, Guests must now disperse; Quick the bow is silent, Ere the sunlight bursts. This week in Louisiana history. November 8, 1893. First LSU v.
