Podcast appearances and mentions of richard whiteley

In a Talking Away special, Greg is joined by Bob Warman MBE who this year celebrates half a century since his television debut in 1973. A well-known face and voice in The Midlands, Bob is recognised all over the United Kingdom chiefly for his news reporting on Central News, formerly ATV Today. In a life full of colour and movement, Bob discusses how it all began and his friendships with Countdown star Richard Whiteley and motorcycle racer Percy Tait amongst many others. He also recalls the horror of reporting live from the scene of the Birmingham pub bombings in 1974. As well as the news reporting which became his trademark, including hosting the UK's first-ever breakfast TV show, Bob also presented The Price is Right and enjoyed an indoor firework party with Chris Tarrant. What are his opinions on social media and the fall of the manufacturing industry in Birmingham - and what does it take to be a successful broadcaster?

For two decades, the beauty of the Canadian Rockies has informed the sculptural work of Leslie Rowe-Israelson. Wondrous locales such as Banff and Jasper National Parks inspired her to express an emotional connection to nature in kiln formed glass, often enhanced with one-of-a-kind flameworked beads made by twin sister, Melanie. Leslie has mastered the creation of large fused panels as well as massive color bar bowls made in homage to streams flowing through the mountains.  Using a color bar process that allows her to strip away layers of color, Israelson then uses that color to create paintings of light in glass. She expands on these skills by placing different types of reactive glasses together, such as copper bearing glass, silver, and reactive cloud glass. Continually challenging, this combination of techniques evokes different seasons and climates, sharing the artist's passion for both glass and nature with the viewer.  In the mountains of Canada, glass consumed Israelson's thoughts and dreams. Beginning in stained glass, a new visual language of kiln forming was born of training and dialoging with other glass artists. From 1985 to 1994, Leslie and Melanie attended the world-renowned Pilchuck Glass School in Stanwood, Washington. Both sisters agree that Pilchuck changed their lives. There they met Klaus Moje, Richard Whiteley, Rudi Gritsch, Richard Marquis, Paul Marioni, Dante Marioni, and William Morris – encouraging their evolution from flat to sculptural work. They also met Thomas Hamling, developer of Zircar Refractory Composites, who introduced Leslie to Mold Mix 6, which introduced her to a new visual vocabulary.  The sisters received additional training from the Alberta College of Art, Calgary, Alberta; Andrighetti Glassworks, Vancouver, British Columbia; Boyce Lundstrom's Camp Colton, Colton, Oregon; and the Vancouver College of Art. Together they have participated in a number of residencies, both at Pilchuck and Uroboros Glass, Portland, Oregon. In 1995, Leslie and Melanie attended a month-long symposium in Teplice, Czech Republic, held by Glav Union, one of the largest flat glass manufacturers in the world at that time.  In early 2000, Israelson spent six months making a wax for a new piece that featured a huge glass circle with multiple figures. When she finally fired it, the piece cracked in the kiln due a thermocouple failure. She explains: “It was awesome! When I took it out of the mold, a big chunk came out, revealing the way the glass had flowed and melted. I wanted to figure out how to recreate that look intentionally.” This event marked the beginning of her work assembling, fusing, and slicing color bars. Now, the artist carefully stacks all the glass, knowing how it's going to flow and move, and which way to cut it. “I try to create the flow of the mountains through the flow of the glass,” she says. In 2004, Israelson studied with Irene Frolic and Lou Lynn at Red Deer College, Red Deer, Alberta. There she discovered wax, and suddenly her work evolved from flat bowls to three-dimensional sculpture. She began to work larger, incorporating metals in the work by applying iron oxides on the surface of the mold material. Without access to a hot shop, the artist accomplished all of her creative goals in her kiln, layering Bullseye Glass in sand, talc and Mold Mix 6 molds. She states: “No one was doing this at the time. I was a teaching assistant for Warren Langley at Pilchuck, and he gave me the sand and talc mixture. I experimented with mold materials that would allow me to take the skin off and see inside the glass – to let the light reflect through it.”  Israelson's commissions include: Government of Canada, Governor General Arts Award, cast glass hands; Banff School of Fine Arts, Mountain Film and Book Festivals: Awards 1996 – 2014; Government of Canada, Secretary of State for External Affairs: International Gifts 1990; and Alberta Foundation for the Arts, Acquisition for Permanent Exhibition. She has demonstrated or taught at the Glass Art Society, virtual demo, 2021; Corning Museum of Glass, Corning, New York; Pilchuck Glass School; Alberta College of Art and Red Deer College of Art, Red Deer, Alberta, Canada. For the last few years, Israelson has been working on a new series of larger works made via a fusing/ glassblowing hybrid process with the assistance of glassblower, Ryan Bavin. Bavin is both glassblower and award-winning nature photographer. His father, Pat, started Bavin Glassworks in Invermere, BC, in 1988. Ryan served an apprenticeship there that lasted for eight years before moving on to Pilchuck, where he studied and has been invited back several times as a teacher and gaffer working for and with respected glass artists from Canada and other nations. His blown work is represented by Canada House Gallery, Banff. Says Israelson: “Our glass work together has developed over the years, and I cannot think of a better glassblower to work with blowing out our Bullseye Glass than Ryan. Our paths have overlapped over the years at Pilchuck, giving us a solid foundation for experimenting and creating together or separately.” Always moving in new directions, Israelson now feels she can truly interpret the land, sky, and mountains by painting with glass. Through experimentation, she hopes to create an artistic link between glass and stone and the world in which we live. Her collaborative work with Bavin can be seen in 2022 at Canada House Gallery, Banff, and The Hearth – Arts on Bowen, Bowen Island, BC.

Sofie talks to writer and presenter Danny Wallace about how the Argos stockroom really works, how to avoid confrontation when buying hot dogs, why our brains can't come up with a witty comeback in the moment, a rudeness vaccine, the 'stretch and stroll', trying to write for Hallmark, getting on Richard Whiteley's bad side, a moment in time with Ronnie Barker, starting countries and cults, why people keep stealing his image, Jesusween and weird Belgian chat shows.   Artwork by Linda Brinkhaus Jingle by Bailey Lenart Produced by Sarah Garvey A huge thanks to Phoenix Artist Club in London for letting me record my podcast and do my shows with them.

Juliet and Terence look back on a week of bizarre news: Richard Whiteley, 'Superspy'; Theresa May and her salt & vinegar crisps; the debacle at the Oscars; Being Arsene - should he stay or should he go?; and the etiquette of eating a Big Mac in the theatre. Plus four great tracks of music...

Best-selling author of The Corporate Shaman, Richard Whiteley teaches us how to apply ancient wisdom to solve modern life and business challenges. In this podcast, Richard shares what inspired him to integrate shamanism into business settings, his vision for the role of Spirit in business and how each of us can harness shamanic practices to improve our lives and the planet. For all those seeking inspiration for authentically living and working with heart and Spirit, Richard’s interview is a must-listen. To find out more about Richard Whiteley go to www.corpshaman.com.

What is happening around us? We see severe weather, colossal oil spills, and species die off. We see illness, obesity, and rising incidents of mental illness and coping disorders. We see corruption and an unfathomable void of ethics in banking, politics, and religions around the world. We see riots, anger, and hopelessness in our communities. The shaman sees Dismemberment, the experience of being pulled apart, eaten, or stripped layer by layer, down to the bare bones on a global scale. “In a shamanic dismemberment,” explains host and shaman, Christina Pratt, “the individual, unaware that the experience is occurring in an altered state, dies the little death, which is the surrender of the ego that allows for a shift of awareness and transformation of consciousness.” Join us this week as our guest, award winning author, teacher, consultant, motivational speaker, successful businessman, and urban shaman, Richard Whiteley, explains what is going on out there from a shamanic perspective. And perhaps more importantly, he shares why he feels there is reason to be hopeful and how we can participate with spirit in the Remembering so that the world we co-create is different than before. Richard joins us for the next show in the Society of Shamanic Practitioners sponsored interview series.
