Best Pick with John Dorney, Jessica Regan and Tom Salinsky Episode 231: Mulholland Drive Released 19 October 2022 For this episode, we watched the 2001 David Lynch film Mulholland Drive, starring Naomi Watts, Laura Harring, Justin Theroux, Robert Forster and Ann Miller. This film began life as a TV pilot and was eventually repurposed by Lynch as a one-off feature film. It was suggested by Patreon supporter Joel Aarons, made it on to our shortlist and came top of our Patreon poll, by a narrow margin. https://crooked.com/podcast/bros-dont-prefer-blonde-w-isabella-rossellini/ Brand New Cherry Flavor https://youtu.be/wOzM3c33TVg Mel Gibson interview https://youtu.be/PdYjnIDfi9Q David Lynch's sitcom https://youtu.be/YdfTQ29sca8 Mulholland Drive explained https://youtu.be/VvgRLTP3U5Y BEST PICK – the book is out now from all the usual places, including… From the publisher https://tinyurl.com/best-pick-book-rowman UK Amazon https://amzn.to/3zFNATI US Amazon https://www.amzn.com/1538163101 UK bookstore https://www.waterstones.com/book/9781538163108 US bookstore https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/best-pick-john-dorney/1139956434 Audio book https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/Best-Pick-Audiobook/B09SBMX1V4 To send in your questions, comments, thoughts and ideas, you can join our Facebook group, Tweet us on @bestpickpod or email us on bestpickpod@gmail.com.

Best Pick with John Dorney, Jessica Regan and Tom Salinsky Episode 229: RoboCop Released 21 September 2022 For this episode, we watched class eighties action flick RoboCop, but despite the trashy title this is film which hides a great deal of cleverness and even heart under its brutality, bloodletting and general excess. The script was by Edward Neumeier and Michael Miner, and it was the first American film for Dutch director Paul Verhoeven. It cost about $14 million to make, it took over $50 million at the box office and it picked up two competitive Oscar nominations and a special award for its sound. https://lithub.com/on-hilary-mantels-birthday-please-enjoy-her-1988-review-of-robocop/ Buckaroo Banzai https://youtu.be/RdanCNK4ayo Turkish Delight https://youtu.be/tK1wZt6MzI8 Robocop cartoon https://youtu.be/Yp4Sqn0eX_Q “John Murphy” https://youtu.be/lZd2YyuRaug?t=132 Smooth animation https://youtu.be/8ln11zEWW4U Militarised police https://youtu.be/WYdi1bL6s10?t=392 BEST PICK – the book is out now from all the usual places, including… From the publisher https://tinyurl.com/best-pick-book-rowman UK Amazon https://amzn.to/3zFNATI US Amazon https://www.amzn.com/1538163101 UK bookstore https://www.waterstones.com/book/9781538163108 US bookstore https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/best-pick-john-dorney/1139956434 Audio book https://www.audible.co.uk/pd/Best-Pick-Audiobook/B09SBMX1V4 To send in your questions, comments, thoughts and ideas, you can join our Facebook group, Tweet us on @bestpickpod or email us on bestpickpod@gmail.com.

Best Pick with Tom Salinsky and guests Anthony Asbury, Sue Dacre, Nigel Plaskitt and Robert Tygner Episode 223: Mean Green Mother From Outer Space Released 29 June 2022 For this episode, we took a deep dive into the creation of one scene in the movie Little Shop of Horrors. The movie was directed by Frank Oz, adapted by Howard Ashman from his off-Broadway play, with music by Alan Menken. In the climactic scene, the malevolent flesh-eating plant Audrey II has grown to 12 feet high and poor benighted Seymour Krelborn (Rick Moranis) is engaged in a battle to the death. Thus begins the song “Mean Green Mother From Outer Space” which was nominated for an Oscar.

You can hear how this all worked from plant performers Anthony Asbury, Sue Dacre, Nigel Plaskitt and Robert Tygner.

“We are loyal and loyalty is very common in business, but it's what he calls ‘polygamously loyal.' And essentially what that means is exactly what it sounds like: we're loyal to a handful of brands.” Austin Franke This week's guest is the founder and behavioral strategist at Woo Punch, a brand communications consultancy. As a brand design and advertising consultant, he helps brands construct and establish memory structures in their customer's brains over time. As a mission consultant, he leverages behavioral science to help business owners pursue the long-term good of their company, their employees, and their customers without sacrificing their personal lives. And as a writer, he exposes the lies of business gurus with empirical evidence that debunks their claims. He has a simple message: customers don't really think about brands. Advertising's primary purpose is to remind customers, consciously and unconsciously, that brands exist. His name is Austin Franke, and we'll be getting into the nitty-gritty when it comes to getting and, most importantly, holding a potential client's attention. How does this work? And how can we make it work better without being sleazy? In this episode, we'll find out! Making Your Own Music We start off the show with a look back at the sounds that influenced Austin as a child, from his piano lessons in kindergarten to his uncle's career as a musician. He recalls how he discovered the beauty of songwriting and creating his own music while learning to play the guitar, and the impact that jazz had upon him: “When I listen to jazz it just literally transports to me another place, and I don't know of any other genre that's ever really done that for me.” Seducing the Subconscious Next, we talk about how the study of behavioral science changed the way he sees marketing, and how it challenges the conventional wisdom of trying to create brand loyalty. We discuss the book Seducing the Subconscious by Robert Heath and just how many decisions we make during the day happen on a purely subconscious level. “I'm very intrigued by the idea,” he explains, “that most of our decisions happen without us ever knowing that we're making them.” The “Mad Men” Myth Austin tells us about how Professor Byron Sharp created the term “polygamous loyalty,” and showed that brand loyalty doesn't really create growth so much as result from it. We talk about “the ‘Mad Men' myth” and how Don Draper's persuasive approach to advertising is a good example of how not to advertise in this day and age. As Austin explains it: “we know that the goal of advertising is essentially to remind customers you exist when they are ready to buy.” Disruptive Geckos The first half of our interview concludes as we talk about how difficult industry innovation can really be. We take a look at the insurance industry as a case study in marketing disruption, and how Geico's famous gecko completely changed the rules when it came to insurance advertising. “Geico disrupted an entire industry,” he says, “and I think the insurance industry is the best example I can think of right now that really leverages audio assets.” Next week we'll continue with a look at how social media has changed advertising, the future of Clubhouse and online communities, and how Woo Punch is helping clients build distinctive brand assets. Episode Summary Music, songwriting, and the power of jazz. Behavioral science and the truth about marketing. A look at polygamous loyalty and debunking the Mad Men myth. Understanding the real goal of advertising. How the Geico Gecko transformed the insurance industry.

Met een druk op de knop gelukkig worden, wie wil dat nou niet? In de jaren 60 plaatste neuroloog Robert Heath elektrodes in het brein van patiënten om ze gelukkig te maken. Zijn methodes waren controversieel. Tegenwoordig wordt 'diepe brein stimulatie' wederom gebruikt, maar alleen voor medische doeleinden. Hoe ver kunnen we gaan met deze techniek? En waar ligt de grens? Is een elektrode in het hoofd de weg naar ultiem geluk? Jacob de Vries gaat het gesprek aan met neurochirurg dr. Saman Vinke, die zelf regelmatig elektrodes plaatst bij Parkinson patiënten.
In this episode, Robert Heath and I discuss his newest book, Thriving in Chaos, with a deep dive into two of the five steps to mastering your time and improving your personal productivity. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/leansolutions/support
In this episode, Lone Frank shares insight about her book “The Pleasure Shock: The Rise of Deep Brain Stimulation and Its Forgotten Inventor” in which she delved into the academic life of a true pioneer of our field. Robert Heath invented deep brain stimulation in the 1950ies and was a remarkable pioneer of our field. Lone's book takes us on a trip delving deep into the discoveries – but also controversies around Heath and his contemporaries, such as José Delgado and Frank Ervin.
Are you excited about waking up every day or are you dreading it? Robert Anthony Heath, Sr. is an engaging communicator and leading expert in Empowering Leadership. His work is centered on helping people find their passion, empowering them to achieve their dreams, and giving them the tools to empower others to do the same. Robert received his JD, cum laude, from the University of Illinois College of Law. He also holds an MA in Teaching from Christian Brother's University, as well as dual BA degrees in Economics and Speech Communications from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. He served for 8 years as a United States Marine Corps Officer, receiving the Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal for his leadership as a Commander of one of the largest companies in the Marine Corps. Over the past 20 years, he has served in many leadership roles across various industries. During this time, he has been able to guide thousands of people on their journeys of awakening their inner leader. From his time as a Spanish teacher and a basketball coach, to his record setting efforts as an attorney, to his award winning work as a Company Commander, Robert has worked to embody the proverb Aristotle spoke so long ago, that “excellence is a habit rather than the result of a single action.” Robert believes that his career, his accomplishments, and his success in life are the proof that no matter who you are, or where you come from, everyone is capable of developing a habit of excellence. Robert firmly believes that excellence is the result of the cultivation and implementation in one's life of certain success principles. His leadership training is grounded in this idea and his belief that with the proper guidance, everyone has the capacity to develop a habit of excellence in themselves, and in others. He is the President and Founder of the Legacy Empowerment Academy Companies and the CEO of Legacy Leadership Consulting. Combining the Leadership principles he learned as an Officer and Company Commander in the United States Marine Corps with the personnel development strategies he has mastered over 20 years of leading, teaching, and coaching, Robert works with leaders who desire to increase initiative and follow through, reduce stress, and get the very best out of their team on every project, regardless of who they may lead. Robert's most important accomplishment is being a loving husband and father. Robert and his family live in the Grand Rapids, MI area. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/americassupermom/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/americassupermom/support

In the music world and pop culture, it’s easy to find stories about the dream of becoming a star - often in either the rock or pop music scenes. What doesn’t get talked about as much, is the classical music world. How musicians find themselves drawn to that path, rather than more popular kinds of music.How musicians can be creative about making money, and shaping a new kind of career in the classical music world.Robert Heath is a clarinetist who first experienced the connective power of music during his years in bands with the West Virginia National Guard and the US Navy. Witnessing how music can bridge cultural divides and bring people together was a powerful catalyst for Robert.Now, he puts together small ensembles, so classical musicians can make money performing in a way that’s more agile and cost effective. He also teaches other classical musicians how they can do this, and pairs an entrepreneurial mindset of being willing to embrace failure with a musician’s creativity.Robert's website https://www.robertinconcert.com/The Music Paradigm (the conductor mentioned who coaches businesses and their teams) https://www.musicparadigm.com/what-is-the-music-paradigm/

According to Madmen’s ad executive Don Draper, “what you call love was invented by guys like me… to sell nylons.” So how does advertising and gaming grab us by our emotions? Can we know when we’re being manipulated? And is there anything we can do about it? Presenter Shahidha Bari hosts a Free Thinking Festival debate at Sage Gateshead. Ad man Robert Heath worked on campaigns including the Marlboro Cowboy, Castrol GTX Liquid Engineering, and Heineken “Refreshes the Parts”.

In March 1913, Thomas James Cobden-Sanderson threw the most beautiful typeface in the world off of London's Hammersmith Bridge to keep it out of the hands of his estranged printing partner. In this week's episode of the Futility Closet podcast we'll explore what would lead a man to destroy the culmination of his life's work -- and what led one modern admirer to try to revive it. We'll also scrutinize a housekeeper and puzzle over a slumped child. Intro: Gustav Mahler rejected the Berlin Royal Opera because of the shape of his nose.

Listen to episode 92 of the Inspirational Living podcast: Mental & Physical Fitness: Get Fit, Motivated & Inspired. Edited and adapted from Assuming Responsibilities by Douglas Fairbanks. Motivational Podcast Excerpt: The person who rises in the morning from a healthy slumber and plunges into the bath after some vigorous exercise is prepared to undertake anything. Their world seems fair, and though the sun may not be shining literally, it is to all intents and purposes. Thus, they go swinging along with a cheery smile, carrying the message of hope and joy to all those with whom they come in contact. Of course, mental fitness is equally important to physical fitness. And the character of a man and woman expresses itself by the books they read. Every well-informed person since the invention of the printing press has been a close reader of a few books that stand out from among the many. We read of Lincoln devouring the few books he had over and over again and studying from cover to cover and word for word the Webster's dictionary of his day. As the poet Robert Heath once wrote, "A few good books, digested well, do feed the mind." Feed the mind! That's the idea — but how shall we feed it? The answer is easy — with something worthwhile — something that will inform and inspire. We can cram our minds to the point of indigestion with useless, frivolous information, just as easily as we may cram our stomachs with certain foods that tear down rather than build up.
As this is an election year, many people (including lawyers) are paying closer attention to election and voting rights. So what’s trending in election law and what could these developments mean for the upcoming American election? In this On the Road report recorded at the 2016 ABA Annual Meeting, Joe Patrice interviews C. Robert Heath and Ben Griffith, contributing authors to the book “America Votes! A Guide to Modern Election Law and Voting Rights.” They begin by talking about Evenwel vs. Abbott, a case in which the Supreme Court allowed states to use total population, not those who can vote, when drawing legislative districts. They then address the state of voter identification cases and whether rigid voter ID laws have a significant impact on certain classes of people. Robert, Ben, and Joe finish by discussing political and racial gerrymandering, which is likely the root cause of the U.S. Congressional gridlock. C. Robert Heath is an attorney with Bickerstaff Heath Delgado Acosta where he practices complex governmental litigation and counseling, election law and voting rights, open government and ethics, and many other areas of law. Robert has written and presented extensively about the topic of electoral law. Ben Griffith is the principal of Griffith Law Firm in Oxford, Missouri. He focuses his practice on federal and state civil litigation, with emphasis on voting rights and election law, civil rights, public sector insurance coverage, and environmental law.
Kan man behandle skizofreni ved at sætte elektroder på hjernen?Jes Stein Pedersen interviewer i denne uges særudgave af Bogfolk neurobiologen Lone Frank, som er aktuel med bogen ’Lystens Pioner”, hvor hun udforsker psykiateren Robert Heats hjernestimuleringsmetoder.Ifølge Lone Frank er vi nået til et punkt, hvor psykiatrien mere end noget andet er det prisme, vi betragter og forstår os selv igennem. Gennem et par årtier har vi vænnet os til, at forskere ser lige ind i den levende hjerne med avancerede scannere, og at de nøje kortlægger dens væld af kemiske signaler.Men sådan så verden ikke ud, da den amerikanske psykiater Robert Heath i en tid, hvor Freud dominerede psykiatrien, i stedet insisterede på, at psykiske sygdomme var defekter i hjernen. I 1950 fandt han på at sætte elektroder dybt ned i hjernen på et levende menneske og slutte strøm til. Heath behandlede skizofrene, depressive og epileptikere, og resultaterne vakte opmærksomhed. Men så gik han for vidt og forsøgte at omvende en homoseksuel mand ved at lukke ham inde med en kvindelig prostitueret og sætte strøm til hans hjernes lystcenter.Lone Frank fortæller historien om Robert Heath, om hans storhed og fald, og om hvordan hendes opklaringsarbejde trækker tråde til nutidens forskning og giver en pejling for fremtiden. Er dyb hjernestimulation psykiatriens store håb?Vært: Jes Stein PedersenRedaktion: Jes Stein Pedersen og Hanne Budtz-Jørgensen
