Podcast appearances and mentions of Richard Clark

This episode is a conversation with Brittany Sabatino, the owner of Arlo.Hendrix. A store that carries children's clothes, toys, and accessories, Arlo.Hendrix is located in the heart of The Mercantile.Between the candy and the candles, The Mercantile in general is an inherently bright experience, but for Brittany, brightness seems to be a primary value for her shop. There's a distinct positivity you feel in both Brittany's presence and in her store. But the thing is - positivity is hard to maintain over time. It's easy to be positive all the time when things are going well. But when you're facing supply change issues, an overloaded schedule, or a dry spell in her business, it's harder to maintain those good vibes. Still, for Brittany, bright colors and positivity seem to be part of her identity. I wanted to talk to Brittany about how she maintains that kind of resilience, even when things get too busy, too hard, or too draining. In other words, how do you build a business on optimism and keep it from running out?If you're a member of The 630, you'll be able to hear Brittani's "Batavia Favs" segment later this week—giving us an insider's guide to some of her favorite places in town.

This week, we're kicking off a brand new series that we'll be running throughout the year. Every so often I hope to share a new conversation with aldermen and alderwomen from various wards in Batavia. We'll go beyond typical policy discussions and get them talking about the human element of city governance – and how they personally interact with the challenges and opportunities that tend to come up. One other note: This week we launch The 630, an online and in-person community for supporters of Area Code: Batavia. Members receive monthly bonus content, access to an exclusive online community, free admission to monthly meet-ups, and an Area Code: Batavia sticker. Join now and you'll also receive an exclusive Area Code pin! This week, members will have access to two new bonus offerings: Behind The Mic: Why We Launched the 630Batavia Favs: Richard and Jennifer ClarkToday on the show, I talk to city council members Kevin Malone and Alice Lohman, representatives of Batavia's Ward 3. Kevin and Alice represent a Ward with a ton of variety. On one end there's the Holmstaad, a retirement community, and on the other there's Emagine theater. And their constituents are made up of a diverse array of people with all kinds of feelings about Batavia and their place in it. So how does someone balance the expectations and tensions that go into running a town like Batavia? And how do their decisions and efforts affect feelings of belonging in their community? And how do they feel about all of that? Well, that's what I wanted to know.

Welcome back! Sorry for our long hiatus. In this episode, Clark and Matt explore GENERATIVE LEARNING. Early on, Clark brings up Craik and Lockhart's research about how information is processed on different levels (Craik, F. I. M., & Lockhart, R. S. (1972). Levels of processing: A framework for memory research. Journal of Verbal Learning and Verbal behavior, 11, 671-684.) The paper can be found here. Throughout the podcast we talk about our colleagues and friends, John Sweller and Paul Kirschner several times. Some of the references we allude to are: LDA Podcast. (2024, January 25). The “What the Skills” Episode. Interview with Paul Kirschner by Matthew Richter. https://ldaccelerator.com/podcast. Sweller, J. (2016). Cognitive Load Theory: What We Learn and How We Learn. In M.

(1998). Cognitive architecture and instructional design. Educational Psychology Review, 10(3), 251–296. Another hero of ours is Richard Mayer. A favorite source from Rich, along with his long-time colleague and our LDA friend, Ruth Clark, is: Clark, R. C., & Mayer, R. E. (2024). E‑Learning and the Science of Instruction: Proven Guidelines for Consumers and Designers of Multimedia Learning (5th ed.). Wiley. Clark relays a story of working with Kathy Fisher during his time as a graduate student, discussing her use of semantic networking with biology students to help them represent their understandings: Fisher, K. (1992). Semantic networking: the new kid on the block. In P. A. M. Kommers, D. H. Jonassen, & J. T. Mayes (Eds.) Mindtools: Cognitive Technologies for Modelling Knowledge. Berlin: Springer-Verlag. At one point we discuss the human information processing loop. While Sweller (and Kirschner) are super explainers of the Loop– as John refers to it, a part of the cognitive architecture, others have come before... Atkinson, R.C.; Shiffrin, R.M. (1968).

Psychological Review, 63(2), 81–97. https://doi.org/10.1037/h0043158  Sweller and Kishner soon come up again, but this time with their co-author, Richard Clark, during a heated discussion of their groundbreaking (and Matt favorite) paper about the issues with constructivist learning called “Why Minimal Guidance During Instruction Does Not Work: An Analysis of the Failure of Constructivist, Discovery, Problem-Based, Experiential, and Inquiry-Based Teaching” which can be found here: Kirschner, P. A., Sweller, J., & Clark, R. E. (2006).

Educational Psychologist, 41(2), 75–86. https://doi.org/10.1207/s15326985ep4102_1 Next, we discuss how to confirm whether the learners are able to retrieve the information being conveyed to them. Clark shares the work of teacher and cognitive scientist, Pooja Aggerwal: Agarwal, P.K. (2019). Retrieval Practice & Bloom's Taxonomy: Do Students Need Fact Knowledge Before Higher Order Learning? Journal of Educational Psychology, Vol. 111 (2), 189–209. We hope you enjoy!

On the day this episode is released, Batavia kicks off Boo Boo Days. For me, Boo Boo Days is a new concept, a sort of quaint and slightly bizarre throwback that just started a few years ago. But the reality is, Boo Boo Days originated decades ago and played a crucial role in the origin of the Windmill Festival. But what really interests me is the whole concept of this oddly named celebration. Where did this idea come from, and why organize an entire celebration around mistakes? To explore those questions, I brought back a previous guest, Kate Garrett, director of the Batavia Depot Museum to help us understand what made the downtown we all take for granted what it is, and how grass roots campaigns like Boo Boo Days have shaped Batavia's culture and landscape.

It's not easy to live in Batavia while remaining unaware of its historical roots. Around here, it's talked about a lot. But what does this history really mean for a town in the here and now? According to Depot Museum Director Kate Garrett, Batavia's appreciation for its own history provides opportunity for what she calls "pro-social behaviors." And it turns out, those kinds of behaviors ultimately add up to a better community for all.

This episode of CORNDOWN goes deep into questionable hotel amenities and unexpected business strategies. I start off digging into a strange DVD version of a hotel experience, while wastedmemory uncovers some odd differences and a sketchy sale on DVD players. There's talk of elevator smoke breaks, mysterious second discs, and a secret coffee situation that keeps getting more complicated. Kidnapping comes up way too often—wastedmemory even calls ahead about it, while snappy bakes gets into the idea of making it a formal agreement. Meanwhile, Lung explores fog machines and tax dodging, and I get wrapped up in the ethics of donation-driven corporations. It's a mess of schemes, scams, and suspicious hospitality.

As a co-founder of Start Something Studio and Batavia native (and owner of AC: Batavia sponsor, Bulldog Plumbing), Jamie has gotten to know numerous local small businesses, and she has a ton of ideas for local gifts. Stuff like Batavia merch, bowl cozies, ugly pasta, and yes, meat-flavored bubbles. For more gift ideas, check out the Main Street Batavia Holiday Gift Guide.

To commemorate Area Code: Batavia's 20th episode, I've invited our collaborators, Ben Wydra and Lauren Purdy from Plimsoll, to take a look back on what the stories we heard in the previous episodes of the podcast meant to us, and what they mean for our community. We talk about how COVID disrupted and deepened the stories of so many, whether or not Batavia is really as special as this podcast might have you believe, and the one thing Craig Foltos said to me after I interviewed him that I can't get out of my head.
