Podcast appearances and mentions of scott chesworth

Fellow podcaster Scott Chesworth, from The Ancient World has a new season. I'm excited to introduce “The Ancient World – Ages”, a series covering the Early Bronze Age Collapse (c. 2200 BC) and the remaking of Southwest Eurasia. In this feed swap, you'll hear episode A3 – The Kings of Kish. It covers the period c.2900 BCE and 2350 BCE, also known as the Early Dynastic Period in Sumer. A time of kings, emerging from legends. Figures like Gilgamesh, burial sites like the Royal Cemetery of Ur, and the legendary conflict between the gods Lagash and Umma, recorded on the Stela of the Vultures. Along the way, Scott will introduce you to history's earliest-known diplomacy, bilateral treaty, and legal codes. Finally, Scott will set the stage for the most famous conqueror of the day: Sargon of Akkad. The Ancient World – Ages promises to by an exciting, big picture history of this ancient period. While the Egyptians were focused on pyramids, rulers in Mesopotamia were kicking Kish and taking names. Please, consider joining Scott on this epic journey.

In this episode we're lucky enough to speak with Jamie Teh and Scott Chesworth, about the incredible work that they are involved in with regards to software accessibility. Jamie is one of the cofounders of the screen reader NVDA which literally opens up access to computers for free across the entire world. In addition to this he also coded the accessibility plug-in for the Reaper recording software that allows it to be used by blind musicians all over the world. This podcast is edited using that very software. Scott is a musician and music producer himself and is an vocal advocate for accessibility across all facets of the music industry. It was an absolute treat to talk to these guys.

Episode Notes I thought it was an appropriate time for a little change of pace on this week's episode...thus, we're venturing across the pond! Yep, I'm taking you to London, England, where you'll meet the man who made it possible for me to blab in the Bluegrass! His name is Scott Chesworth, and he kindly trained me on the Reaper recording/editing software that I use to produce this podcast. Scott is totally blind, like myself, and he's quite the guru when it comes to audio production. Of course he and I will discuss audio, but we'll also speak of various other topics ranging from England, to his musical talents, to the types of training he typically performs. It promises to be a fun and insightful conversation. To contact Scott with questions you may have from our discussion, simply drop him a line at scottchesworth@gmail.com.

Today on the show, Steven is nowhere to be found so Shaun takes the reins firmly in hand. He is joined by Scott Chesworth and Jenny Brennan to talk about the joys of using Reaper and their involvement in the development of the tools used to make Reaper more accessible to people who are blind.

Ulugh Beg was the Astronomer King of Samarkand, who in one of the richest cities of the Silk Road, built a madrassa and observatory to chart the stars. Wonderful astronomer. Not much of a king. His madrassa though stands on, one of the three grand buildings of the Registan square. Scott Chesworth of the Ancient World and Nadeem Ahmad of Eran ud Turan both visited Uzbekistan just before the pandemic, and they join us with tales of gorgeous tilework, empty museums, and more plov (Uzbek rice pilaf) than you can imagine.

It's been several months since the last episode of the show, but we're back in a big way with long-time friends of the program, London's The Mariana Hollow. In this interview with members Richie Walden (rhythm guitar), Gabriel Moreira (lead guitar), and Rebecca Stanley (vocals), they talk about The Abandoned Parade, their first full-length album since 2012's Velvet Black Sky, as well as amusing names they give their songs in the demo stages, the evolution of the band since their 2009 debut Coma Heart, and the recent departure of bassist Scott Chesworth. After the interview, Mark explains the reasons why he took an eight-month break from production and what you can expect from the podcast in the future.

Coming soon, your monthly glimpse into the livelihoods and minds of Satauna Howery (a pro voiceover artist), Matt McLaren (a studio owner), Scott Chesworth (a capricious procrastinator), and, well, Garth.

In 2015, ISIS terrorists destroyed the Temples of Bel and Baalshemin in the Syrian desert city of Palmyra, temples which had remained in pristine condition since their city's glory days in the 3rd century.   Back then, under the capable leadership of its rulers Odenaethus and the "Warrior Queen" Zenobia, Palmyra rose from wealthy caravan town to leader of the Eastern Mediterranean, taking advantage of the chaos of the Roman Crisis of the Third Century.  So. Many. Emperors. So. Much. Chaos.     Scott Chesworth from the Ancient World podcast returns to finish his tale of Roman Syria, discussing how Palmyra challenged two empires, and how they very nearly pulled it off.   Also, listener David Adam recounts his trip to Palmyra before the temples were destroyed; you'll appreciate how he brings the humanity of modern Syrians into the story.  And you can see his photos here: https://www.wonderspodcast.com/single-post/2018/07/10/The-Temple-of-Bel-at-Palmyra    The destruction of Palmyra and of Syria has been a great human catastrophe, and by acknowledging and remembering lost Palmyra, we might hope to prevent the next one.   Also, there are cookies! Date-filled cookies, in honor of the date palms that gave Palmyra its name.

In the remote Bekaa valley in Eastern Lebanon sit the ruins of the great temples of Heliopolis, some of the largest and most impressive ever built in Antiquity, three times larger than the Parthenon, which columns half again as tall as as those in Karnak. The temples are mysterious, and Scott Chesworth from The Ancient World podcast helps explain what they might be, and how they might be connected to Elagabalus, one of the most fascinating and least appreciated Roman emperors. Not good, mind, but fascinating. Elagabalus does not get the coverage of a Caligula or Nero, but maybe he should.  The teenage emperor did not kill indiscriminately, but his sexual and religious activities shocked conservative Roman society and make for excellent story-telling. Some modern writers call Elagabalus the world's first known transgender leader.  Maybe?  We'll discuss. There's also the story of how Caracalla meets his untimely demise, thanks to a prescient fortune-teller and a dislike of reading his own mail. And of course, we'll talk about Lebanon, its Phoenician heritage, and the way Lebanese food has spread around the world. The recipe of the week is kibbeh, a deep-fried croquette of goodness that is as popular in the Dominican Republic as it is in Lebanon.
