Now that Inspector Morse's origins have been fully explored - or as fully as writer Russell Lewis is going to - we turn our microphones to the prequel series Endeavour, and ask if it's a spin-off that lives up to its predecessor

We review the final season of Endeavour, the British detective drama created by Russell Lewis as a prequel to the Inspector Morse series. Endeavour first aired in 2012 and followed the early career of the eponymous detective in the 1960s, solving fictional crimes around Oxford University. The series has been widely acclaimed for its gripping storylines, strong performances, and attention to period detail. After eight seasons, Endeavour has come to a close with its ninth and final season, which consists of three episodes, the last of which is fittingly titled Exeunt. Tune in to hear our thoughts and ratings. Enjoy!

There's a new party in town!! In this week's episode, we sit down with Russel Lewis to talk about an alcohol-free movement that's currently happening, and that he is a big part of.  Russel is the owner/operator of Watermark in Asbury Park NJ, a gorgeous venue with an exceptional ocean front view. Watermark is largely considered the first establishment to usher in fresh cocktail to the Jersey Shore, winning multiple awards for Mixology as well as Reader's Choice Awards for Best Cocktail from many publications over the past 14 years.  In support of dry January and the increasing cultural interest in living a spirit-free lifestyle, Watermark is hosting their first, fully No-Alcohol Social event on Wednesday, January 18th, 2023 from 5pm - 10pm. They'll only be offering their signature, handcrafted zero proof cocktails along with no-alcohol beers and sparkling libations for the whole evening. No spirits or alcohol will be served during this event.Feel free to share this episode with your friends who are in a bar/hospitality business, as the industry is unfolding and changing as we speak.

For my guest best-selling author, Peter James getting Grace from the pages of his best-selling novel to an ITV/Britbox hit did not come easy. He tells me that it took almost a decade to find the right people to make Grace come alive but when it did he knew it the instant that it happened.James met someone he trusted to make Grace become a reality and that was the very talented Russell Lewis. He is brilliant at working with authors to adapt their books to television and we all know him from the massive hit seen here in the United on PBS for his work on the hit Endeavour. The duo hit it off and the result is an outstanding new two-part series that launches tomorrow the 27th on Britbox. The first 90-minute installment Grace: Dead Simple and we will get the plotline on that one in a moment.But we must first give some background on DS Roy Grace the man who after 17 consecutive number one bestsellers in the UK, more than 20 million copies and 37 different languages, viewers will get meet the man James wanted to see on the screen.Just like most James books, we follows Brighton-based DS Grace, a methodical man whose wife went missing some years ago and remains unfound, despite his best efforts. He is a very interesting and complex man who jumps off the screen and makes you want to follow his ride. Okay, now on to Grace: Dead Simple: After a stag night prank appears to go horribly wrong, Grace is asked by a colleague (Richie Campbell, Small Axe) to help solve the time-sensitive case which may hit a little too close for comfort. Then on May 4th, we get Grace: Looking Good Dead: Grace is called upon to help a family targeted for death after one of them witnesses a murder while doing a good deed. This is a world premiere, with US audiences getting it before the UK.

Bob Woodward Book Rage- https://amzn.to/3bTxbQA This is deadly stuff,” President Trump said of the coronavirus in a Feb. 7 interview with the journalist, for the book “Rage.” But it was a vastly different story than he was telling the public at the time. Mr. Trump would later admit to Mr. Woodward that publicly, he “wanted to always” play down the severity of the virus.  Mr. Woodward conducted 18 interviews with the president for the book, which goes on sale next week. Mr. Trump also granted Mr. Woodward access to top officials inside the White House, revealing the inner workings of the president and his administration.

Today, attendees gather in cities around the world to enjoy fresh coffee, friendly people, and an international array of breakfast foods. Volunteer hosts and their team members organize local chapters that not only celebrate a city’s creative talent but also promote an open space to connect with like-minded individuals.

This week’s guest is Captain Russell Lewis, a motivated Air Battle Manager and co-founder of Higher Level Leadership. We talk about what it means to have a tattoo as an officer in today’s workforce, a key attribute that company grade officers look for from their senior leaders, and share stories on what leaves lasting impressions on the next generation of leaders. Russell’s YouTube Channel - “Russ TV”

Major Russell Lewis MC is one of the most incredible men I've ever had the pleasure to speak to. Throughout his Army career he spent 20 years as an Officer in the Parachute Regiment and served in a variety of challenging theatres including Northern Ireland, Kosovo and Iraq. In 2009 he was awarded a Military Cross for leadership and gallantry in Afghanistan. His accounts of this 6 month tour in Afghanistan, where he was the Company Commander, were published in his book 'Company Commander'. A phenomenal read. Russell currently delivers leadership and coaching training to multi national corporations and charitable organisations. He is also a motivational speaker who has addressed the US Naval Academy, Boston College, Greater Manchester Police and the European Nuclear Safety Agency. As well as being a defence commentator for Sky News. What I love about Russell is his passion for the fact that the leadership qualities he has developed in the army are transferable into any environment. And most importantly... these skills can be learnt. Here are some of the topics we covered in our chat: - Why the Army was the only route Russell every wanted to take. ⁃ Russell makes clear that leadership qualities can be learnt and how. ⁃ How the army accelerated his leadership skills. ⁃ Responding and reacting to pressure and set backs is one of the biggest areas of leadership. He explains how this happens in any environment and talks about the mindset to get into when that happens. ⁃ ‘Leadership is never tested on a good day.' Russell talks us through a bad day in Afghanistan and how he reacted during the most difficult day off his leadership career. ⁃ Neurolinguistic VIsualization Techniques. - Emotional energy as a leader. Russell talks about the importance of using passion to get the most out of the people you are leading. However this does have an adverse affect on you as a leader if you do not take time to recoup your energy levels. ⁃ Russell talks us through some of the techniques he uses when working with organisations or individual's to improve their approach to leadership. - Russell talks us through the incredible appreciation and respect he had for all of his soldiers. - How being kind to himself was the key to getting his enthusiasm and passion for life back. There Is nothing wrong doing whatever you need/want to do to get back to where you are mentally happy. - I ask Russell a key life lesson he has learnt over the years. Today's sponsor is FourFive CBD.

From the can of Pabst Blue Ribbon at your neighborhood bar to the moving sidewalks at Midway and O’Hare, so many products that we consume today made their debut at the 1893 World's Fair. Chicago Tribune business reporter Cori Shropshire talked to Russell Lewis, the executive vice president and chief historian at the Chicago History Museum, and Norm Bolotin, author of “The World's Columbian Exposition: The Chicago World's Fair of 1893,” to find out what products were showcased at the fair and the stories behind their creation. "From the Midway" is a production of the Chicago Tribune. It was created by digital news editor Colleen Connolly. Post-production editing was done by digital news editor Randi Shaffer. The music used in this podcast came from the album “Souvenir Music from the World’s Columbian Exposition of 1893,” recorded by Lake Forest College.

By Russell Lewis Executive Vice President and Chief Historian, Chicago History Museum Founding Member, Culinary Historians of Chicago Do join us as the Chicago History Museum’s Russell Lewis gives us a slaughtering presentation on Chicago’s legendary Union Stockyards and its impact on the city and the nation. (Think: “Hog butcher to the world.”) And how did the stockyards help put the sizzle in Chicago’s steakhouse reputation? Here’s what Russell has to say: “To watch an animal from the pen to the tin is an extraordinary experience. You see it killed; it falls; a conveyor carries it away. It is flayed while you wait…. Death is so swift, the evidence of tragedy so soon gone, that one feels no shock that flesh loses its character. Cattle are being handled like brass, so swiftly that life becomes merely a raw material. That is Chicago.” British journalist Walter Lionel George’s description of Chicago’s Union Stockyards, written in 1920, captures the essence of the city’s meatpacking industry—it was highly organized and brutally efficient, and it was synonymous with Chicago’s identity. Indeed, more than any other business, meatpacking reflected how industrialization became rooted in Chicago in the nineteenth century and transformed the city and the nation. Situated at the center of the United States and linked to every corner of the continent by a vast rail and water network, Chicago was an ideal place for industry to grow. But location alone does not fully explain the formation of America’s quintessential industrial city. Three additional factors spurred Chicago industries, particularly meatpacking: innovation, scale, and new markets. Meatpackers developed a disassembly line that altered traditional labor and made the processing of meat a highly efficient operation. The Union Stockyards was itself a powerful innovation (competing companies sharing holding pens and rail facilities was unprecedented), and it also allowed operations to take place on an enormous scale never imagined. And lastly, meatpackers, particularly Gustavus Swift, realized it was not enough for industrialists to modernize their business ventures, they also had to create new markets for their products. The fame of the Union Stockyards as a massive modern industrial enterprise spread, attracting tourist from around the world who yearned to see this harbinger of the future. Families carrying picnic lunches, convention delegates, school children, and honeymooners all came to see what was billed as one of the wonders of the world. Amid pig squeals and bellowing cattle, animal pens as far as one could see, buildings awash in blood, and a distinct smell of life and death, tourist were not disappointed, and the Union Stock Yards became etched into their memory. * * * Biography: As Executive Vice President and Chief Historian of the Chicago History Museum, Russell Lewis is responsible for the day-to-day implementation of the museum’s mission to creatively explore and showcase Chicago’s history and culture, and to preserve, manage, build, and make accessible to the public, the Chicago History Museum’s collection of more than 22 million documents and objects. He has been a member of the Chicago History Museum’s staff since 1982. He is also a founding member of the Culinary Historians of Chicago, and for many years graciously hosted our programs at his museum. Mr. Lewis has a BA in historical archeology from the University of Florida and an MA in American culture from the University of Michigan. Recorded at Weiss Memorial Hospital on September 15, 2018.

I have been friends with Russell for about a decade now. He is a sweet guy, and one of the few friends with whom I can discuss almost anything--even religion. In this chat we discuss, sex, death, free-will, and the first-cause proof of God's existence.

Bruce McQuain from Blackfive joined us once again for Someone You Should Know, our weekly tribute to the troops. Bruce spent 28 years in the U.S. Army and he is a veteran of the Vietnam war. He brings a perspective and understanding to these stories that we could never match. This week Bruce told us the story of U.S. Army Sgt. Joshua R. Labbe. Labbe, from Stonington, Conn., an infantry squad leader with 1st Battalion, 87th Infantry Regiment, is credited with saving the life of one soldier and protecting numerous soldiers during a complex attack which lasted more than six hours. “We are here to recognize the sacrifice and courage of the soldiers and leaders in Shafi Khel on Oct. 6,” said Lt. Col. Russell Lewis, 1-87 commander, said during the ceremony. “Sgt. Labbe is a hero, he didn’t go out on Oct. 6 to earn an award — he just did his job. Except his job that day called for extraordinary actions and he stepped up and helped his comrades.” The Someone You Should Know radio collaboration began as an extension of Matt Burden’s series at Blackfive. Bruce does an incredible job with the series every week. The Pundit Review Radio Podcast RSS feed can be found here. What is Pundit Review Radio?

“Working With Studs – A Transom Radio Special” on PRX Bonus tracks from “Working With Studs” About Working With Studs Back in the 1980s, long before coming to work at Transom, I’d been working with Studs Terkel at WFMT Radio. Despite exiting ’FMT in ‘91, and leaving Chicago in 2001, I continued working as Studs’ transcriptionist and editorial helper for the rest of his life. Last year, during a planning meeting for a Transom radio special series, Jay Allison said, “OK, Syd, you have to produce an hour.” Until then, the extent of my audio work had been making Sonic IDs (WCAI’s 60-second station ID breaks). I’d never produced anything longer than 90-seconds, and I hadn’t even touched a Pro Tools session in 6 years. Knowing I had the creative and technical support of my Transom community kept me from being paralyzed with fear. My original idea, prompted by a conversation with Samantha Broun, was to use audio made during my work on his memoir Touch and Go. I had a box containing 30 cassette tapes of Studs talking about his life and work. Where to begin? Jay wisely urged me to focus the piece on working with Studs rather than on his work, and offered structural suggestions. Viki, knowing how self-conscious a writer and reader I am, made a great suggestion: instead of writing a formal narration, I should make notes and simply talk to her rather than read her the narration. Everyone at Transom gave great notes on early drafts — gratitude for all they contributed in the making of this hour. For the piece, I chose to interview others who had worked closely with or around Studs. From WFMT, three former colleagues: Lois Baum (Associate Program Director who’d worked with Studs for over 40 years), former WFMT sales manager Tony Judge, (who’d become a friend to Studs and accompanied him on long distance interview trips for the books), and George Drury. George started out as Assistant Librarian and became Spoken Arts Curator before becoming a teacher. His archival nature and memory were essential to this project, and he generously shared audio and ideas. Studs’ publisher André Schiffrin was the natural choice when discussing the oral history work. And I included Tom Engelhardt, an editor I’d bonded with when he worked on two of Studs’ later books. For me, the opportunity to talk with the others about our old friend close to a year after his death was a joyful experience. Of course, my original plans went kerflooey. For starters, much of my Terkel tape wasn’t usable. He was frail when we worked on Touch and Go, recovering from a lengthy hospitalization and a raft of ailments. He didn’t sound like himself. Fortunately, in 2001, Jay had asked me to interview Studs in Chicago for a Transom manifesto. That tape was perfect for my needs. George Drury suggested I get in touch with German documentarians Hans-Ulrich Warner and Uli Swidler who kindly shared audio from television and radio documentaries they’d done on Chicago and Studs years back. Jesse Hardman heard about the piece and volunteered tape from Studs’ 90th birthday celebration. Studs’ son, Dan Terkell, dug out and sent tapes I requested from the house. Russell Lewis of the Chicago History Museum and Steve Robinson of WFMT graciously gave me permission to use material under their respective purviews. But there’s only so much you can pack into an hour, and much of what I gluttonously requested was eventually put aside. Thanks to Sara Chapman and Tom Weinberg of Media Burn, Jyothi Natarajan of the New Press, David Krupp, and those interviewed for helping me get my hands on the photos. At first,
