Podcast appearances and mentions of Sean Corcoran

Aaron Corcoran aka Skinner released his debut album New Wave Vaudeville on January 7. He talks about playing open mic nights when he was in his mid-teens, his DIY ethos, his creative process and influences, and discusses making some of the tracks on the album. Buy New Wave Vaudeville: https://skinner97.bandcamp.com/album/new-wave-vaudeville ---- Press release: Skinner is the project of the Dublin-based multi-instrumentalist, singer and producer Aaron Corcoran who was inspired by the New York No wave scene in the late '70s/early '80s for this debut record. The record's lead track "Calling In Sick" perfectly exemplifies this influence as he takes cues from the genre, while also carving his own path on the scene as well. Speaking about "Calling In Sick", he said, "The song is about calling in sick to the world. Life is tough for most people right now and there is no down time for most of us. Some days just feel like you're hurtling towards destruction and I just wanted to write a song that captures that feeling of anger and frustration of having to say enough is enough. Fuck everything I'm just going to do me for today. And I think that's fair." 'New Wave Vaudeville', the song and album title, references the New Wave Vaudeville music variety freak show that took place at the 57 Club in New York from 1978 to 1983. The club was known for its free-form art shows, a debaucherous wild riposte to creeping commerciality of modern culture of the time. "The ethos of the album is to celebrate the weird part of who you are and be proud of it," says Aaron. "You might feel strange in society but you don't when you're listening to your favourite music, and this record is a space for the outsiders to feel comfortable." Skinner's debut album takes inspiration from the outsiders in alternative music who populate the greatest hits of no wave, dance-punk, Latin disco and post-punk genres - Liquid Liquid, A Certain Ratio, Kid Creole And The Coconuts and James Chance And The Contortions to name a few. "I like the idea of mixing genres that shouldn't go together," Aaron adds. "That's probably why I like no wave music. It's just total and utter free expression of music without any constraint or rules. And it's not constrained by any societal ideals like a lot of other music can be. It's pure raw human emotion and expression." Throughout the LP, Corcoran makes use of vocal training by Dara Kiely of Dublin noise-rock Gilla Band, who taught Aaron how to scream effectively while singing without losing your voice, as heard on the tracks "Calling In Sick", "Tell My Ma" and "When You Live In A Shoe". Percussion also plays a big part in the record, with Latin American music and disco cited as an influence on the 10 tracks on the LP. New Wave Vaudeville was recorded and produced by Aaron Corcoran at the Meadow and engineered alongside Rian Trench. The album was mixed by Sean Corcoran, and mastered by Tj Lipple.

Feeling like you don't belong can be a lonely experience, where no matter where you go, it seems hard to truly connect with others. It can feel isolating, as if there's an invisible barrier between you and the people around you. This sense of disconnection can be difficult to shake, even in familiar places or with close acquaintances. Sean Corcoran is a powerful voice in the pro-life movement. After a devastating abortion decision at 18 sent him spiraling into substance abuse, Sean found the strength to turn his life around and become a successful lawyer. Today, Sean shares his powerful personal story of overcoming addiction, the impact of an unplanned pregnancy and abortion, and his journey to becoming a leader in the pro-life movement through his work with the nonprofit organization Men for Life. Join in as young leaders pose inquiries about life, personal development, and beyond! Quotes: “95% of biologists and geneticists, most of whom are pro-choice, agree that human life starts at conception. This means that it's not just your body; it is a human body and another human being.'” – Sean Corcoran “Never really having tight connections—I think that lack of connection led to a lot of difficulties for me.” – Sean Corcoran “The purpose is to initiate thought, to provoke critical thinking. If we can provoke thought, then maybe down the line, it will lead to change.” – Sean Corcoran “Your confidence in knowing something breeds patience. It's a byproduct of that confidence.” – Matt Beaudreau Takeaways: Reflect on how instability and lack of belonging in your childhood may have impacted your ability to form deep connections later in life. Consider how you can create more stability and a sense of community for the young people in your life. Recognize the importance of having tough conversations with your children about sensitive topics like sex, drugs, and alcohol. Open communication can help prepare them for the challenges they may face. If you have a loved one struggling with addiction, set firm boundaries and refuse to enable their destructive behavior. Provide support, but make it clear you will not participate in or cover up their addiction. Challenge the common pro-choice arguments around "bodily autonomy" and "healthcare" by highlighting the scientific consensus that abortion ends a human life. Be prepared to have thoughtful, nuanced discussions on this complex issue. Seek out opportunities to share your personal story in a way that inspires and empowers others. Your vulnerability can plant seeds of change and help those who feel alone in their struggles. Conclusion: Instability, lack of belonging, and unresolved trauma can profoundly shape an individual's life trajectory. These factors can create lasting challenges that impact personal growth and well-being. Addressing them early is crucial for fostering resilience and a healthier path forward.

Aurora has a large foreign born population and some of them turn to local ethnic media outlets for news and to stay informed about their home countries. There are over three dozen ethnic media organizations that serve the city and the greater metro Denver area. They are print, digital and broadcast outlets that publish in many different languages including English, Spanish, Korean, Chinese and Polish.Vera Azuka Idam started Afrik Digest in 2018, a free magazine and online publication, to bring African people together.“To be their voices, to raise their voices,” she said. “We know what they want. We understand the way to put it that they would understand.”There are hundreds of ethnic media outlets across the country. They face challenges like evolving digital and social media, loss of in-community businesses, an aging audience and lack of bilingual journalists. Fake news is a big issue too. It can stem from a variety of sources like targeted campaigns in communities of color that hope to influence elections to social media platforms like WhatsApp, WeChat and Facebook Groups.One of the biggest challenges in funding.“For those of us who are doing these things alone, maybe that's because we're struggling with, you know, with support and very minimum financial support,” said KETO 93.9 FM founder Endale Getahun.KETO is a multicultural immigrant community radio station that primarily serves African immigrants and refugees. The signal originates in Aurora and has a broadcast radius of 10 miles and also streams online. There are shows and music in English, French and Ethiopian languages like Amharic, Tigrinya and Oromo.Aurora partners with KETO, Afrik Digest and other ethnic media outlets to ensure the different immigrant groups have equal access to information and resources coming from the city.“Networking with others is very helpful because you get to share experience,” said KETO-FM 93.9 founder Endale Getahun who attended the event.“I feel like for many of these communities, they really trust, you know, these ethnic media organizations,” said Ricardo Gambetta, Aurora's manager of International and Immigrant Affairs. “They know that they want the best for these communities.” Afrik Digest on Facebook Afrik Digest on Twitter Afrik Digest on Instagram Afrik Digest on YouTube Center for Community Media at the Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at the City University of New York on social media Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY on Facebook Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY on Twitter  Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism at CUNY on YouTube KETO 93.9 FM on social media KETO 93.9 FM on Facebook KETO 93.9 FM on Twitter KETO 93.9 FM on YouTube City of Aurora on social media City of Aurora on Facebook City of Aurora on Twitter City of Aurora on Instagram The Colorado Dream: Newcomers Welcome is a production from KUNC.

Home. It's where the heart is, where we feel safe and secure. And in New York City, home takes on a whole new meaning. The Museum of the City of New York is launching its new contemporary photography triennial, New York Now: Home, on March 10th. This inaugural exhibition explores the different ways in which we make homes in and around the five boroughs. Co-curated by Thea Quiray Tagle and Sean Corcoran, this event marks the beginning of the Museum's centennial year programming. As the world center of photography, New York City has inspired generations of image-makers. And as the storyteller of the city, the Museum of the City of New York has collected and exhibited the best of this work for a century. With New York Now, they'll continue this tradition, engaging with themes and issues relevant to New York and the experience of urban life. Lens-based work has a unique power to connect the artist, subject, and viewer in a way that's unlike any other medium. Through this and future installations of New York Now, the Museum will showcase both established and emerging talents, reflecting a range of perspectives. ~~~ Opens March 10, 2023 Show Notes: New York Said

Foreign-born residents have higher rates of entrepreneurship than those born here in the U.S. Aurora supports these business owners as part of its immigrant integration plan. The goal is to increase entrepreneurship by providing information, training and lowering the barriers to entry. There are hundreds of immigrant and refugee owned businesses throughout the city including Msosi Kenyan Cuisine food truck, owned by Kenyan immigrant Josphat Ombacho. In 2016, Ombacho and his wife started a traditional catering business. They sold food at events like Aurora's Global Fest and Taste of Colorado. Eventually, they decided to buy a food truck but they needed some money.“We went to various banks to see if we can get a loan to buy a food truck because we didn't have enough money,” Ombacho said. “We couldn't get (it) because our credit was low.” After getting turned down at traditional banks they heard about CEDS Finance in Aurora and received a loan from the non-profit, federally-funded, small business lender. “Our mission is all about how do we help refugees create the American dream? And we define that as financial self-sufficiency,” said Alex Wise, CEDS Finance executive director.The nonprofit loans up to 100,000-dollars to clients and doesn't require a minimum credit score. CEDs is also the only lender in the state that offers an Islamic-compliant loan, an alternative type of financing that adds an administrative fee rather than charging interest.Ethiopian refugee and Aurora resident Ermias Gurmu owns a small trucking business called Line Trucking. He hauls food across the country for big chain stores like Wal-Mart and King Soopers. He's on his second CEDS loan and is one of more than 300 entrepreneurs the lender has supported.“I'm planning to get more trucks and to have some more employees to expand my company,” Gurmu said.Credits: The Colorado Dream: Newcomers Welcome is a production from KUNC.

We examine how cities in the West are trying to reuse water as the Colorado River dries up. We hear about concerns that elected officials, law enforcement officers, and military members are on the Oath Keepers roster. Finally, a recap of the Telluride Film Festival and its respect for both old and new films.Featured SegmentsMushroom science: Despite ongoing drought in parts of Colorado, it was a wet August in the mountains, and heavy rains brought an abundance of wild mushrooms — including some new to science. As KUNC's Rae Solomon reports, novel mushroom species are more common than you might think. And a lot of them are found by citizen scientists.Creatively re-using water: The Colorado River is drying up, and major cities in the West that depend on it are scrambling to boost their water supplies and keep taps flowing. Climate change is already cutting into the amount the river gets from Mother Nature, which means some cities need to reuse the water they already have. KUNC's Alex Hager has more.Oath Keepers members: Last week, the Anti-Defamation League released a report identifying law enforcement and elected officials on a leaked list of members of the Oath Keepers. The ADL identified nearly two dozen Colorado elected officials, law enforcement officers and military members on the list.

To help them succeed, the city created an integration plan, one of the first local governments in the country to do so. Aurora has made a conscious decision to welcome foriegn-born residents but should the city get all the credit for embracing newcomers? “I think it just happens to be the city that people were relocated to,” said Mathew Mengesha, a policy advocate who works on city and state level policies that support the successful integration of immigrant and refugee communities. “Like it more so had to do with the affordability of Aurora, in my opinion, than it had to do with Aurora wanting immigrants and refugees in their city.”The Colorado Dream: Newcomers Welcome episode five explores what stands in the way of Aurora being a welcoming home for all immigrants.

She spoke with KUNC's Beau Baker.Telluride Film Festival brings the goods: The 49th Telluride Film Festival took place last weekend. The four-day celebration of movies began in 1974 in what was then a run-down old mining town. Today, the festival is an international destination.

Episode Four - Newcomers Welcome: IdentityThe Black immigrant population in Colorado is growing faster than anywhere else in the U.S. They come from Africa, the Caribbean and beyond and many settle in Aurora, where about one in five residents is foreign born. What does it mean for these immigrants, and their kids, to be Black in America?“There's a tension between the African immigrant and the Black community. Why? Because of misconception and assumption from both (parties).” said Papa Dai, founder and president of African Leadership Group. “So for me, coming together, being united as Black, as African immigrant, as African in the Diaspora, however you want to identify yourself, it's a must and it's time.”The Colorado Dream: Newcomers Welcome episode four examines the relationship between Black African immigrants and African Americans.

As bear encounters get more common, we hear how one community is looking to reduce bear-human interactions. We get a breakdown of how the student loan forgiveness plan will affect Coloradans. Finally, we learn about Ethiopian coffee ceremonies happening in Aurora.Featured SegmentsThis week, the Veterans Community Project of Longmont launched a brand new mobile outreach unit. The van will connect veterans experiencing homelessness in rural parts of northern Colorado with resources like transportation and temporary housing. KUNC's Beau Beaker spoke to the project's executive director, Jennifer Seybold, about the mobile unit and efforts to aid unhoused veterans in our region. Around here, it's not unusual for a bear to wander into a neighborhood, especially as we head into fall. That can be dangerous – for the residents and bears. The Mountain West News Bureau's Will Walkey reports on a community looking to reduce these encounters. Last week President Joe Biden announced a sweeping student loan forgiveness plan that would erase up to $20,000 of debt for many borrowers.

On this week's Colorado Edition, we hear about efforts to elevate indigenous approaches to water management to conserve Colorado River water. We set out into the brush to learn more about rattlesnakes. We also check in with our colleagues at the Colorado Sun, and hear a review for Spin Me Round from our resident critic.Featured SegmentsThe seven western states in the Colorado River Basin are still looking for a way to conserve an unprecedented amount of water after failing to meet a federal deadline for a plan. The river's two largest reservoirs are approaching critically low levels.  Native people have lived in the Southwest for thousands of years and have traditional ways to manage water that worked for them. When settlers arrived, they up-ended that system. Now, with so much pressure to find a solution, tribes in the Colorado River Basin are trying to elevate indigenous approaches to water management. Megan Myscofski from Arizona Public Media reports on how one tribe is doing that.  This story is part of ongoing coverage of the Colorado River, produced by Arizona Public Media, and supported by the Walton Family Foundation. You can hear more about this story and other Southwestern water issues on the AZMP podcast Tapped. ---People have always feared the unknown. That fear transforms some animals into monsters in our minds, like sharks in the ocean — or rattlesnakes in the West. But just how evil can an animal be?

On this special episode of Colorado Edition, we highlight the new season of The Colorado Dream podcast called “Newcomers Welcome.” The series explores the Black immigrant experience in Colorado as told through the eyes of one African immigrant and Aurora, as the city - and its residents - strive to become an inclusive home for all.Featured Segment - Episode two of The Colorado Dream: Newcomers Welcome. Aurora is one of the most diverse cities in Colorado. In fact, about one in five residents is foreign born. Over half came from the Americas, mainly Mexico. After that the largest groups hail from Ethiopia, Vietnam, Korea, El Salvador and India. To help immigrants and refugees succeed, the city created an integration plan. It was among the first in the country to do so.“Our city leaders at the time, intentionally they (made) a very important decision,” said Ricardo Gambetta, manager of Aurora's Office of International and Immigrant Affairs. “They realize that in the last 20 years, we have a new face of the city.”To implement the integration plan, Aurora partners with dozens of organizations including Village Exchange Center. The non-profit supports immigrant and refugee communities with a range of services including the Natural Helpers Program which is staffed by volunteers who are immigrants themselves.“The natural helpers are like this bridge between their country and here,” said José Gómez , who manages the Natural Helpers Program. “ I feel that one of the biggest things that has kept our immigrant or refugee community, you can say down, is the lack of knowledge.”The Colorado Dream: Newcomers Welcome episode two examines the city's immigrant integration plan. Meanwhile, more than 15 years earlier, Salwa Mourtada Bamba gets a job and enrolls at the local community college as she settles into her new life in Aurora.CreditsColorado Edition is hosted by Yoselin Meza Miranda and produced by the KUNC newsroom, led by news director Sean Corcoran.

On this week's Colorado Edition, we learn about grants aimed at helping people of color feel more comfortable in Colorado's outdoors. Also, the Colorado River has hit an important deadline and cuts are impending. We hear more about the future of water in the states affected. Finally, we learn more about evictions in Colorado and what some are doing to protect people from them.Featured SegmentsColorado's trails, campgrounds and parks are getting more crowded, but surveys show the droves of visitors are overwhelmingly white and wealthy. A new initiative launching this summer hopes to change that. As KUNC's Scott Franz reports, the state's new outdoor equity grants are helping people of color feel comfortable in nature. Water cuts are coming to some users along the Colorado River next year. They're not enough to keep the river's largest reservoirs from declining though. The federal government promises to take action to keep water flowing to 40 million people in the southwest, but as KUNC's Alex Hager reports, without firm agreements to conserve among the states that rely on it, what comes next for the river remains unclear. Earlier this month, the White House gathered stakeholders from around the country to discuss evictions in the U.S. The goal of the summit was to build on resources created during the pandemic to protect people from eviction. An organization from Colorado was invited to contribute to the conversation. Zach Neumann is the co-founder and executive director of the COVID-19 Eviction Defense Project. KUNC's Beau Baker spoke with Neumann this week about the project and the state of evictions in Colorado.

How well are schools serving Aurora's immigrant families?The Colorado Dream: Newcomers Welcome episode three looks at efforts by two educational institutions and some of the unique challenges facing first and second-generation African students.“A first generation African kid, my child can tell you, that goes to school acting like an American and then comes home and has to act like an African kid,” said Anne Keke, an immigrant from Côte d'Ivoire and Aurora Public Schools Board of Education Director.Links and creditsTo learn more about Salwa Mourtada Bamba and the city of Aurora, and to see photos of the people included in this episode and other extras, go to the Colorado Dream website.Salwa on social media: Salwa Rita Mourtada on Facebook @Aunty_Salwa on Instagram Also in this episode: Community College of Aurora: @CCAurora Aurora Public Schools: @aurorak12 Village Exchange Center: @VECAurora The Colorado Dream: Newcomers Welcome is a production from KUNC.

On this special episode of Colorado Edition, we highlight the new season of The Colorado Dream podcast called “Newcomers Welcome.” The series explores the Black immigrant experience in Colorado as told through the eyes of one African immigrant and Aurora, as the city - and its residents - strive to become an inclusive home for all.Featured Segment - Episode one of The Colorado Dream: Newcomers Welcome.The Black immigrant population in Colorado is growing faster than anywhere else in the U.S. They come from Africa, the Caribbean and beyond, and many settle in Aurora, where about one in five residents is foreign born. A lot of them have overcome great challenges to emigrate here, including Salwa Mourtada Bamba.Episode One - Newcomers Welcome: ArrivalSalwa was born in Liberia, West Africa and endured the country's brutal civil war. She was displaced, her sister was murdered and she literally fled for her life, moving to Ghana for four years. But during moments of relative calm she would daydream about coming to the United States.“To me, the American dream was just being afforded the opportunity to come here and attain the highest level of education that I possibly could,” she said. “It was always touted on television to be this place where you can be and grow and and gain the best at anything and at any dream you wanted to.”Her dreams became a reality in 1998 when she arrived alone at JFK International Airport in New York City. A year later she was settled in Aurora, Colorado, ready to take on her new world.CreditsOur theme music was composed by Colorado musicians Briana Harris and Johnny Burroughs.

On this week's Colorado Edition, we look into the potential of turning the ocean into drinking water for the ever-drying West. We also visit the Yuma County Fair and what it's doing to promote farms and farmers. We also hear from our colleagues at the Colorado Sun, and get a look at the latest episode of The Colorado Dream.Featured SegmentsFor users of the Colorado River, all signs are pointing to a future where they get less water. But cutting back is hard work. That makes finding a new source for the regions, cities and farms a seductive proposition — even if it is expensive and energy-intensive. From KUNC, Alex Hager has more on the tradeoffs that come with turning the ocean into drinking water. This story is part of ongoing coverage of the Colorado River, produced and distributed by KUNC and supported by the Walton Family Foundation.It's county fair season, and things are getting back to normal this third summer of the pandemic. In the coming weeks Lincoln and Routt counties, among others, will have their fairs, and it all builds up to the state fair at the end of this month in Pueblo. KUNC's rural and small communities reporter Rae Solomon went to the Yuma County Fair, where the focus is on the farm and future farmers.CreditsColorado Edition is hosted by Yoselin Meza Miranda and produced by the KUNC newsroom, led by news director Sean Corcoran.

Aurora is one of the most diverse cities in Colorado. In fact, about one in five residents is foriegn born. Over half came from the Americas, mainly Mexico. After that the largest groups hail from Ethiopia, Vietnam, Korea, El Salvador and India. To help immigrants and refugees succeed, the city created an integration plan. It was among the first in the country to do so.“Our city leaders at the time, intentionally they (made) a very important decision,” said Ricardo Gambetta, manager of Aurora's Office of International and Immigrant Affairs. “They realize that in the last 20 years, we have a new face of the city.”To implement the integration plan, Aurora partners with dozens of organizations including Village Exchange Center. The non-profit supports immigrant and refugee communities with a range of services including the Natural Helpers Program which is staffed by volunteers who are immigrants themselves.“The natural helpers are like this bridge between their country and here,” said José Gómez , who manages the Natural Helpers Program. “ I feel that one of the biggest things that has kept our immigrant or refugee community, you can say down, is the lack of knowledge.”The Colorado Dream: Newcomers Welcome episode two examines the city's immigrant integration plan. Meanwhile, more than 15 years earlier, Salwa Mourtada Bamba gets a job and enrolls at the local community college as she settles into her new life in Aurora.Links and creditsTo learn more about Salwa Mourtada Bamba and the city of Aurora, and to see photos of the people included in this episode and other extras, go to the Colorado Dream website.Salwa on social media: Salwa Rita Mourtada on Facebook @Aunty_Salwa on Instagram Aurora History Museum @AuroraHistoryCO on Twitter City of Aurora @AuroraGov on Twitter Village Exchange Center @VECAurora on Twitter The Colorado Dream: Newcomers Welcome is a production from KUNC.

Sports are often divided by gender: women or girls on one team, men or boys on another. Trans people face barriers to joining the team that matches their gender, and there are few options for people that aren't one of the binary genders. This year, the FireKracker 5K in Fort Collins decided to do things differently. They offered participants the options to sign up as male, female, or nonbinary. KUNC's Yoselin Meza Miranda spoke with FireKracker 5K's first nonbinary winner, Steph Campbell. For decades the Colorado River filled Glen Canyon to the brim. That's where Lake Powell is, the second-largest reservoir in the country. But climate change and overuse are causing the reservoir to decline to a new record low, leaving the water supply for tens of millions in the Southwest uncertain. To show us what Lake Powell looks like at this historic moment, KUNC's Luke Runyon took a boat trip with longtime river runners. This story is part of ongoing coverage of the Colorado River, produced by KUNC and supported by the Walton Family Foundation.  Last fall, Colorado farmers planted more than 2 million acres of winter wheat for the 2022 harvest. But persistent drought is hurting Colorado's crop. As KUNC's Rae Solomon reports, a small, native bug has found a new home for its larva in that wheat, and that has become a huge problem for local growers.  A few years ago, as anti-immigrant rhetoric was rising across much of the country, the community of Aurora decided to go the other way. Officials there decided to do whatever they could to attract new immigrants to the city — and to support immigrants once they arrived. That effort began in 2015. Now we want to know: Is it working? What's been the result? KUNC reporter and editor Stephanie Daniel has talked with immigrants about their experiences in Aurora — looking at what kinds of support community leaders put in place. And it's all in the second season of her podcast, The Colorado Dream. KUNC's Christina Shockley spoke to  Stephanie, to learn more. Colorado Edition is hosted by Yoselin Meza Miranda and produced by the KUNC newsroom, led by news director Sean Corcoran.

When the Marshall Fire burned over 1,000 homes in Boulder County in December, it also destroyed possessions: couches, children's toys and family heirlooms. Since then, many fire victims have dug through the rubble to find anything that might be salvageable.

Ten years ago, a Kennedy and a Koch shared the same goal: stop Cape Wind, America's would-be first offshore wind farm. Despite nearly two decades of effort, Cape Wind was never built, and its failure had huge consequences for the offshore wind industry. But it also laid the groundwork for the next wave of offshore wind and the explosive growth to come. Windfall is the story of a promising renewable technology and the potential of wind power in a changing climate. It's a story about who has the power to reshape our energy future.

New Music in New York in the 1980sIn this week's show, we will explore the new music scene in New York. Actually, new music from the 1980s.  My guests will be Sean Corcoran, Curator of Prints and Photographs of the Museum of the City of New York, who will talk about the Museum's new exhibition, New York New Music: 1980-1986, and recording artist, performer, producer, and author Richard Barone, who was also the front man for the band The Bongos.‍Tune in for this fascinating conversation at TalkRadio.nyc or watch the Facebook Livestream by clicking here.Show NotesSegment 1The show starts by introducing the topic of the history of music in New York specifically in the 1980s. One guest is Sean Corcoran who is a New Yorker. He is the curator of prints and photographs of the Museum of the City of New York. He has always had an interest in art and photography. He loves how photos can be both scientific documents as well as art. With the museum, he did exhibitions on film director Stanley Kubrick and graffiti. So much went into creating his most recent exhibition. Many people played a role in it.Segment 2The music scene in the '80s was different depending on the location. Sean states that in New York people were very open with their music taste. Clubs would book performers of multiple different genres. Furthermore, people were experimenting with the crossing of genres. Producers began to use more jazz elements in hip-hop music which also helped contribute to the growth of DJing and MCing. As time passed, the music began to define the location but it was the population that embraced it. This was also a time when many New York musicians began to tour and grow further than NYC.Segment 3Tonight's second guest is Richard Barone who is the frontman for the band The Bongos. He is a recording artist, performer, producer, and author. He has worked with The Beach Boys among others. Currently, he is writing a book focusing on the music scene in the '60s. During that time, New York was a very popular spot for new upcoming artists. It became the new place that attracted people. Richard was drawn into the location and became a member of the band as a result. The group got their sound from their love of fusion music. They used that as an inspiration to fuse with their pop foundation.Segment 4When the group got started, they immediately started playing in New York clubs like The Peppermint Lounge and Mud Club. The group would work with the venue in order to have their video shown in the club. At first, they were signed to a British label but they eventually signed with RCA records which allowed them to create greater quality videos. The Bongos' main focus was to differentiate themselves from others. They loved to contribute with others but wanted to establish a sound unique to themselves.

Museum of the City of New York, the city's storyteller for almost 100 years, today shared details for New York, New Music: 1980-1986, a new exhibition that revisits the music scene of early 1980s New York City. The exhibition examines this transformative era through the lens of emerging pivotal music genres and the influence they played on New York's broader cultural landscape. Opening on June 11, in advance of MTV's 40th anniversary in August, the exhibition highlights diverse musical artists—from Run DMC to the Talking Heads, from Madonna to John Zorn— to explore the broader music and cultural scene, including the innovative media outlets, venues, fashion, and visual arts centered in the city during that time.

This session was all about  Aligning Strategy with Your M&A Process, featuring our two guest speakers: Scott Kaeser, executive VP of corporate development, US security services at GardaWorld and Sean Corcoran, VP of corporate development and M&A at Neustar, inc. It is absolutely critical that everyone understands the rationale behind the deal. In order for everyone to fully understand the strategy, you have to simplify things and let them know what you are trying to achieve. Especially on a very large team and the integration process takes years to finish, knowing the true north of that deal will keep teams aligned.

Sean had been invited over to take part in the prestigious LEAF festival in the United States, but little did he know what lay ahead as he tried to get home. He spoke to me about that, and about the fact that he was self isolating at his home, the location of The Art Hand on The Copper Coast.

The full broadcast of Boston Public Radio from Wednesday, March 13th, 2019. As a candidate, Donald Trump vowed to protect Medicare and Medicaid. As president, his latest budget proposal would slash both those policies. We talked to Medical Ethicist Art Caplan about this, the "anti-vaxxer" movement's effect on recent measles outbreaks, and how a Georgia state representative is mocking the heartbeat abortion bill with a "testicular bill of rights," which would criminalize vasectomies and require men to get permission from their partners before getting that Viagra prescription filled. Caplan is the Drs. William F and Virginia Connolly Mitty Chair, and director of the Division of Medical Ethics at NYU Langone Medical Center. He’s also the co-host of the Everyday Ethics podcast. Carolyn Beeler, the environment reporter for PRI’s The World, joins us for another Antarctica dispatch, where she’s studying the effects of climate change. News broke Tuesday of an alleged college admissions scam, in which wealthy parents schemed to get their children into elite colleges. We opened the lines and asked our listeners: Is this symptomatic of how crazed society has become when it comes to going to the right school? Paul Manafort's four-year sentence has provoked outrage from those who say it is too lenient. But today, Manafort faces up to 10 more years of prison in another case for conspiracy against the U.S. Will sentencing Judge Amy Jackson see a different man than Judge Ellis did? We talk to Juliette Kayyem about this, the Robert Mueller case and more. Kayyem is on the faculty of Harvard’s Kennedy school, a CNN analyst and CEO of ZEMCAR. A new podcast takes an unfiltered look at Alzheimer’s through the experiences of an unfiltered man: Greg O’Brien, who was diagnosed with early-onset Alzheimer’s in 2009.

Montgomery is a journalist, naturalist and a BPR contributor. Her latest book is "How to Be A Good Creature: A Memoir in Thirteen Animals."
