Podcast appearances and mentions of Sharon Robinson

It was the following Suzanne Arms quote, that inspired my guest today, Sharon Robinson, to become a midwife:“If we are to create a nonviolent world where respect and kindness replace fear and hatred, we must begin with how we treat each other at the beginning of life, for that is where our deepest patterns are set. From these roots grow fear and alienation, or love and trust.”As a new grad, Sharon left her home in the US to practice midwifery in NZ because of our “gold standard” midwifery care. However, she was met with challenges - hierarchies, power-plays, professional jealousy, over-medicalisation - that stifled her ability to practice where and how she wanted to, and in the ways that she knew women deserved.Sharon shares with us some of the trials and tribulations she has faced throughout her personal and professional life, including childhood abuse at the hands of her father, a mastectomy for breast cancer 10 years ago, and then, last year, being diagnosed with stage 4 cancer. We discuss what the role of a midwife is, how the way a woman is treated in birth matters a lot more than her mode of birth, and what birth and midwifery are like in different parts of the world.Also discussed in this episode:* Creating birth plans* Stillbirth* Deep grief versus trauma* Abusive and fraudulent maternity ‘care' in South Africa* Rights in birth* Informed decision making and consent* Post dates* Induction of labour* Differing roles of midwives and obstetricians* Defensive, risk-centric practice* Home birth midwifery* Collegial support from like-minded midwivesCheck out Sharon's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/sharonrobinson.midwifeFind some awesome videos that Sharon has created on her YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@sharonrobinsonmidwife516Become a part of the Wise Women Network NZ - a global (despite the name) Facebook group for birth workers and birth-passionate consumers who are seeking a reclamation of empowered, undisturbed, physiological birth, supported by wise woman midwives: https://www.facebook.com/groups/538842372367843Follow my (Carla's) Instagram page: https://www.instagram.com/healing.birth/Check out my website here: https://www.healingbirth.co.nz/Email me carla@healingbirth.co.nz if you have a story that you believe is a good fit for my podcast and that you're keen to shareYou can also watch this episode, and others, on my Healing Birth YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/@healingbirth

Episode 279 Antarctic sea ice is melting at an unprecedented rate. A collapse like the one we're seeing was given just a 1 in 700 billion year chance of happening, based on climate models - we basically thought it was impossible. Melting ice in Antarctica will have global scale, knock-on ecological and climate consequences. To address the crisis, five hundred researchers met in Australia for an emergency summit for the future of the Antarctic. Sarah Thompson, one of the scientists at the conference, is working in Antarctica right now and shares her experiences assessing the damage in the region. Also hear from Sharon Robinson from the University of Wollongong, who explores how the ecology of the region is changing. A new type of brain implant technology is being developed that will allow direct access to a patient's brain in a more intimate way. Most devices place metal electrodes and wires into the brain, but this method is instead using living neurons to form a connection with the brain. Brain-computer interfaces are used to help treat conditions like ALS or stroke, as well as allowing patients to control technology with their mind. Researchers at the Science Corporation in California have tested their new method on mice - but can it be done in humans?

Today on the show I speak with radical registered midwife Sharon Robinson. Hailing from the US, Sharon tells us of her training in Brooklyn, New York and how she promptly left, and continued learning on the job, helping serve birthing women in Cambodia. Sharon now lives in New Zealand and is a local community midwife there, but it has not all has always been smooth sailing. She tells us how her registration was threatened and put on hold (unsurprisingly because she is a radical midwife) after some other midwifes reported her to the government bodies. This process for her was HUGE and she ended up leaving the small town where she was living due to the dramas and traumas it all caused. Sharon has recently returned to that district and is now happily continuing to serve the women in that community. Sharon is also known as a travelling midwife and has attended births as far afield as the Amazon Jungle in Peru! I really like Sharon. She is so real and raw and just generally a really good person with a big heart. I hope you see her big heart and her passion for serving women in this interview.  Sharron's Bio : Sharon Robinson, originally from the US, trained as a midwife in Brooklyn, New York. She was a physical therapist when she had her own two birth children. It was after their births that she describes what felt like a spiritual awakening to what she believes is her authentic purpose, midwifery. Her clinical training was all done in 2 big city hospitals in the Bronx. While she was grateful for the education and experiences, she felt she was being groomed to be more of a physician's assistant than the midwife she had been called to be.  Since graduating in 2000, she has traveled extensively and supported women to birth in various countries around the world. Those countries include Cambodia, Tonga, New Zealand, Benin, Mexico and even the Amazon Jungle in Peru!  She is passionate about women holding the reigns for their own birthing journeys. She knows that “positive” birth outcomes most often occur when space is held for birth to unfold in the ways that Mother Nature has designed. She also knows that “good births” are important and can help women heal from previous traumatic births. She has often gone above and beyond routine guidelines and protocols to support those positive healing births to occur.  She is a strong advocate for homebirth realizing that most women have been culturally conditioned to believe that birthing in hospitals, even for “low-risk” women, is the “safest option.” She also realizes that the unfortunate truth is that routine hospital interventions, designed to avoid adverse outcomes caused by "risk factors," all too often end up sabotaging women's own innate birthing wisdom, power and positive outcomes. She says that when care providers and birthing women are saturated in the hormones of fear it leads to mostly “well-meaning” interventions that unfortunately, all too often, derail the process of normal physiological birth. Sharon is doing what she can, one sacred birth at a time, to welcome our new citizens of the world with the love and respect that, she believes, they all deserve.

SynopsisPerformers need composers and composers need performers. And some performers really like composers–and vice versa.  That seems to be the case with the Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson Trio, comprised of Joseph Kalichstein, piano; Jaime Laredo, violin; and Sharon Robinson, cello, and the Pulitzer Prize-winning American composer Ellen Taaffe Zwilich.On today's date in 2011, at a La Jolla Music Society concert in San Diego, California, the Trio premiered the fourth work they had commissioned from Zwilch.  She created a blues-y piano quintet, scored for the same ensemble as Schubert's famous Trout Quintet, so for this “blue trout” Quintet, the Trio were joined by violist Michael Tree and double-bassist Harold Robinson.In notes for her new piece, Zwilich wrote: "My Quintet is in three movements, the second of which has the title ‘Die Launische Forelle' (roughly translated: ‘The Moody Trout'). I couldn't resist using a very small quote from the Schubert song on which his Quintet is based. I also took the liberty of allowing that movement to spin out musical images of a ‘moody' trout. In all three movements the weight and character of the contrabass is an important element in the overall design.”Music Played in Today's ProgramEllen Taaffe Zwilich (b. 1939) Piano Quintet The Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson Trio; Michael Tree, vla; Harold Robinson, db.

BLACK & WHITE 1968. Racisme var stadig et trist udbredt fænomen, og ikke kun i USA. Men som ofte skal nye positive og mere humane forandringer starte i kunstens og musikkens verden, så da hvide Petula Clark det år rørte ved Harry Belafonte i en duet på tv sendte det chockbølger gennem millioner af seere men varslede heldigvis også en ny tid. En ny tid, hvor det blev mere og mere almindeligt at se sorte og hvide sangere i duetter. Men dog stadig relativt sjældent på trods af at sorte bands og solister myldrede frem i årtierne efter. Men det skal så heller ikke glemmes at utroligt mange især sorte kvinder har været og er suveræne korsangerinder for utallige hvide musikere. I hvert fald vil det nye tema i Sejrstimen hylde det unikke og symbolsk vigtige samarbejde når "sort & hvid" mødes i musikken. Bemærk at jeg tillader mig at inkludere både arabiske og latinamerikanske navne i kategorien "black". (I øvrigt rummer temaet 2 kvinde-navne der er gået bort de seneste uger og i det hele taget er mange af dem væk) Jeg lister begge kategorier i alfabetisk orden så kan i selv prøve at lave de rigtige kombinationer ...(nogle har flere;): Oleta Adams, Philip Bailey, Shirley Bassey, Mary J. Blige, Craig David, Gail-Ann Dorsey, Aretha Franklin, Astrud Gilberto, Cheb Mami, Youssou N'Dour, Aaron Neville, Prince, Sharon Robinson, Seal, Donna Summer, Al B.Sure. Bowie, Cohen, Phil Collins, Sheena Easton, Peter Gabriel, Madonna, George Michael, Joni Mitchell, Chris Rea, Linda Ronstadt, Sting, Barbara Streisand, Tears For Fears.

EPISODE 130: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:42) SPECIAL COMMENT: I want to congratulate House Oversight Committee Chairman Comer for letting the Democrats hijack his Hunter Biden express and turn it into "Would you like me to give the direct quote? Chrissy Teigen referred to Donald Trump as a 'pussy ass bitch.'" The Republicans made every mistake they could make, down to not being able to keep the lights on in the hearing room. Elsewhere in Washington, while the GOP continued to insist Biden was lying and none of its members ever called to cut, re-define, sunset, or privatize Social Security, the White House produced reports and proposals and quotes and videos from Ron Johnson, Mike Lee, Mike Pence, Lindsey Graham, and dozens of other Republicans to do exactly that. And if you needed a punchline: two organizations whined about Biden's speech. One was the Republican Party and the other was...the Chinese Communist Party.

Synopsis For their February 2013 cover story, the editors of BBC Music Magazine, came up with a list of the 50 most influential people in the history of music.  Bach was on it, as you might expect – but so was Shakespeare. Any music lover can see the logic in that, and cite pieces like Mendelssohn's music for “A Midsummer Night's Dream” or Tchaikovsky's Overture-Fantasy entitled “Romeo and Juliet,” or all the great operas based on Shakespeare's plays, ranging from Verdi's “Falstaff” to a recent setting of “The Tempest” by Thomas Adès. And speaking of “The Tempest,” in New York on today's date in 1981, Sharon Robinson premiered a new solo cello suite she commissioned from the American composer Ned Rorem,  a work titled “After Reading Shakespeare.” “Yes,” says Rorem,  “I was re-reading Shakespeare the month the piece was accomplished… Yet the experience did not so much inspire the music itself as provide a cohesive program upon which the music be might formalized, and thus intellectually grasped by the listener.” Rorem even confessed that some of the titles were added AFTER the fact, “as when parents christen their children.“   After all, as Shakespeare's Juliet might put it, “What's in a name?” Music Played in Today's Program Ned Rorem (b. 1923) — After Reading Shakespeare (Sharon Robinson, cello) Naxos 8.559316 On This Day Births 1835 - Austrian composer and conductor Eduard Strauss, in Vienna; He was the youngest son of Johann Strauss, Sr.; 1864 - Norwegian composer, conductor and violinist Johan Halvorsen, in Drammen; 1901 - American composer Colin McPhee, in Montréal, Canada; 1926 - American composer Ben Johnston, in Macon, Ga.; 1928 - American composer Nicolas Flagello, in New York City; Deaths 1842 - Italian composer Luigi Cherubini, age 81, in Paris; 1918 - French composer Lili Boulanger, age 24, in Mezy; 1942 - Austrian composer Alexander von Zemlinsky, age 70, in Larchmont, N.Y.; Premieres 1807 - Beethoven: Symphony No. 4 (first public performance), in Vienna, at a benefit concert conducted by the composer; 1885 - Franck: symphonic poem "Les Dijinns" (The Genies), in Paris; 1897 - Rachmaninoff: Symphony No. 1 (Gregorian date: Mar. 27); 1908 - Ravel: "Rapsodie espagnole" (Spanish Rhapsody), in Paris; 1911 - Scriabin: Symphony No. 5 ("Prometheus: Poem of Fire"), in Moscow, conducted by Serge Koussevitzky and with the composer performing the solo piano part (Julian date: Mar. 2); 1981 - Stockhausen: opera "Donnerstag, aus Licht" (Thursday, from Light), in Milan at the Teatro alla Scala; This is one of a projected cycle of seven operas, each named after a day of the week; 1994 - Peter Maxwell Davies: "Chat Moss" (the name of a quagmire in Lancashire) for orchestra, in Liverpool by the orchestra of St. Edward's College, John Moseley conducting; 2000 - Corigliano: "Mr. Tambourine Man: Seven Poems of Bob Dylan," at Carnegie Hall, by soprano Sylvia McNair and pianist Martin Katz; An orchestrated version of this song-cycle premiered in Minneapolis on October 23, 2003, with soprano Hila Plitmann and the Minnesota Orchestra conducted by Robert Spano; Others 1895 - Italian tenor Enrico Caruso, age 22, makes his operatic debut at the Teatro Nuovo in Naples, singing the lead tenor role in Domenico Morelli's comic opera "L'Amico Francesco."

Synopsis On today's date in 1996, a trio of soloists joined forces with the Minnesota Orchestra for the premiere performance of a new concerto by the American composer Ellen Taaffe Zwilich. This “Triple Concerto” was commissioned by those soloists – pianist Joseph Kalichstein, violinist Jaime Laredo, and cellist Sharon Robinson – and no less than five orchestras in addition to Minnesota's. Now, the MOST famous Concerto for Piano, Violin, Cello and Orchestra is by Beethoven, as Zwilich well knows. “My Triple Concerto is scored for exactly the same instrumentation as Beethoven's,” she writes, “although Beethoven would certainly be startled by some of the American jazz techniques and the extraordinary facility the modern timpanist can be expected to have at his fingertips... My piece has other vague and hidden references to Beethoven, as a kind of homage to a composer who has deeply affected my life." “As contemporary artists always have,” continues Zwilich, “today's composers exist at a juncture between past and present. And all of us, whether we write, perform, or listen to music, face a similar challenge: how to relate meaningfully to the past without becoming imbedded in it; how to press toward the future without abandoning the richness of our heritage.” Music Played in Today's Program Ellen Taafe Zwilich (b. 1939) — Triple Concerto (Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson Trio; Florida State University; Michael Stern, cond.)

"Normalt ville jeg ikke på relativt kort tid tage til fire koncerter med samme artist. Men jeg var bare hooked!" Camille Grey beskriver sig selv som en “storytelling country singer-songwriter". Med sin store stemme og sit autoharpe-spil beretter hun om sine oplevelser særligt i den sydlige del af USA. En vigtig sang i hendes liv er "In My Secret Life", åbningsnummeret på Leonard Cohens Ten New Songs (2001), produceret i tæt samarbejde med sangeren og sangskriveren Sharon Robinson. "In My Secret Life" er en krammer, når Camille har brug for en krammer, og den minder hende om det enkles poesi - noget hun selv har som rettesnor i sin sangskrivning. Og så var den højdepunktet alle fire gange, Camille nåede at opleve Cohen under hans intensive turnévirksomhed i karrierens efterår. Koncerter, der for Camille selv bød på forelskelse og mødet med en gammel flamme... Camille Grey er senest aktuel med albummet Confessions of a Cowgirl (https://camillegrey.lnk.to/ConfessionsOfACowgirlRelease) (2020), indspillet både i countryens højborg Nashville og "Breaking Bad"-byen Albuquerque i det støvede New Mexico.

On this episode of Our World Hour of Power we talk with Sharon Robinson who is the CEO of Women Veteran Logistic ServicesBorn in Brookhaven, New York and grew up in Gordon Heights amongst her siblings including 8 brothers and 3 sisters by her community active parents. Her mother / pastor and father ,the Bishop of Jesus Welcome Church in Long Island always encouraged them to follow their dreams. Sharon’s brothers were truck and race car drivers, mechanics and some served in the military . They played a major influence on her love for cars. As an army veteran, she aims to uplift others along with fellow veterans, artists and small business owners and to hopefully create more opportunities for her family and community. In 2019 She established Women's Veteran Logistic Services.( WVLS). What started out as a T shirt idea inspired by her high school student Iyona to come up with something for the veterans to wear branched off into a transportation service featuring other unique perks such as entertainment promotions, portofio presentations for individuals and corporations. Sharon got together with a small crew and helped manifest the idea which can be seen on her newly launched company's website. Since giving back is part of her family background WVLS is available for veterans that may need assistance with services that the company provideswvlsny.com

Performers need composers and composers need performers. And some performers really like composers–and vice versa. That seems to be the case with the Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson Trio, comprised of Joseph Kalichstein, piano; Jaime Laredo, violin; and Sharon Robinson, cello, and the Pulitzer Prize-winning American composer Ellen Taaffe Zwilich. On today’s date in 2011, at a La Jolla Music Society concert in San Diego, California, the Trio premiered the fourth work they had commissioned from Zwilch. She created a blues-y piano quintet, scored for the same ensemble as Schubert’s famous “Trout” Quintet, so for this “blue trout” Quintet, the Trio were joined by violist Michael Tree and double-bassist Harold Robinson. In notes for her new piece, Zwilich wrote: "My Quintet is in three movements, the second of which has the title ‘Die Launische Forelle' (roughly translated: ‘The Moody Trout'). I couldn't resist using a very small quote from the Schubert song on which his Quintet is based. I also took the liberty of allowing that movement to spin out musical images of a ‘moody' trout. In all three movements the weight and character of the contrabass is an important element in the overall design.”

Hey it’s Arroe and this is Pod-fest 7. A couple of conversations with people we know either through entertainment, politics, science, medical or by helping us put our lives back in order. They’re played back to back. I’ve learned that podcast listening isn’t always about a four minute song. The lyrics we share in the everyday world make being a part of this new age of content incredibly special and these guests always bring their story. On this episode we’re going to spend some time with the late Senator John McCain who in December of 2014 brought us the book Thirteen Soldiers. From their acts of self-sacrifice to their astonishing bravery, these thirteen soldiers embody the best America has to offer. Speaking of history. John’s conversation will be followed by Sharon Robinson. The daughter of baseball legend Jackie Robinson. Sharon had incredible access to some of the most important events of the era, including her family attending the March on Washington as guests of Martin Luther King Jr. But Robinson was also grappling with her own personal problems like going through puberty and being one of the only black children in her wealthy Connecticut neighborhood.

Permafrost Releasing Greenhouse Gases as it Thaws (0:41)Guest: Jordan Wilkerson, PhD Student in Atmospheric Chemistry, HarvardWe've got a feedback loop going on in the Arctic where, as the atmosphere warms, the permanently frozen ground there is thawing. As it thaws, carbon dioxide, methane and nitrous oxide (AKA laughing gas) escape into the atmosphere, where they cause further warming, which thaws more permafrost, which releases more greenhouse gas and round and round. Only now are researchers getting a grasp on how fast that cycle is going. An atmospheric chemistry lab at Harvard just published some data showing there's a lot more nitrous oxide escaping the permafrost than previously thought. Anger Can Actually Be a Good Thing (14:19)Guest: Ryan Martin, Professor of Psychology, University of Wisconsin-Green BayWe often think of anger as a bad thing – it can make us mean and reckless and lead us to believe that the idiot cutting us off in traffic is a monster.

There's no warning. No way to know if an infant is at risk. The rate of these Sudden Unexpected Infant Deaths has remained steady since the mid-1990s. Efforts to prevent SIDS by putting babies to sleep on their backs and eliminating smoking in the household have reduced, but not eliminated these deaths. Why, with our advanced medical technology and economic wealth, haven't we solved SIDS yet? Breathing and Shaking Toward Recovery from Trauma (50:51)Guest: James S.

Dr. Gordon's techniques sound strange, but they've worked for teachers and students affected by the Parkland shooting and for people in Puerto Rico, Houston, Haiti and New Orleans devastated by natural disasters. The techniques have also helped Syrian refugees in Jordan, Palestinian children in Gaza and a range of veterans and victims of war suffering from post-traumatic stress disorder. Jackie Robinson's Daughter on Her Civil Rights Awakening in 1963 (1:28:29)Guest: Sharon Robinson, Author “Child of the Dream: A Memoir of 1963”1963 was a pivotal year for the Civil Rights movement in America.

How an Asteroid Killed the Dinosaurs.Guest: Sean Gulick, Research Professor at the University of Texas at AustinYou've heard that a massive asteroid caused the dinosaurs to go extinct. But how exactly? I've never understood why a giant rock crashing to Earth would kill all the dinosaurs. One asteroid couldn't smash them all.

The lake and its shore are frozen and snow-covered most of the time, but when they thaw, hundreds of bones surface. Hence the nickname “Skeleton Lake.” Who are these people? Is this a burial ground?

Lessons I Learned as a Mother (sermonettes) - Mrs. Sharon Robinson / Mrs. Monica Gilbert - 05/13/18 by Kingdom Living Ministries

After discussing the opioid epidemic with Sharon Robinson in our last episode, Chief Judge Frederick Lauten sits down with Jessica Finn to talk about her inspiring story of tragedy, addiction, and triumph. Jessica shares with listeners how she began using alcohol and drugs to mask the pain she felt due to childhood abuse and the heartbreaking losses of her father and best friend. Jessica started out using alcohol and then switched to drugs before becoming quickly addicted to them. After using opioids for about a year, Jessica found herself no longer using them to suppress the pain or to achieve a euphoric high. Instead, she realized she was addicted to the drugs and needed to use simply to function and to feel normal. Unfortunately, the opioid abuse led her down a life of crime, alienation from loved ones, and years of hopelessness. After a 20-year struggle with opioid abuse, Jessica entered into Osceola County’s Adult Drug Court, presided over by Judge Whitehead. Speaking fondly of her experience, she recounts how much she learned about herself during the program. She had to change her environment and find her purpose in order to gain victory over the drugs – a victory she has to fight for every day. Two years into her sobriety, Jessica now conducts meetings at the same Osceola County jail where she was once an inmate. She believes graduating from Drug Court gave her the tools to succeed in the battle with opioids. Jessica has now reconnected with her family, is helping to raise her three nieces, and is changing the lives of many women who also struggle with drug addiction. Jessica explains that, though it is a tough struggle, if you are dealing with an addiction, you can’t give up. “I thought there was no hope for me. I thought I was hopeless. It’s possible to change.” -Jessica Finn Let us know what you think about the podcast.

An hour of music and conversation with singer, song writer, artist Sharon Robinson on WorldStreams

In its 15th season, the Virginia Arts Festival welcomes the acclaimed Kalichstein-Laredo-Robinson Trio back to Hampton Roads. Their concert will offer music of Beethoven, Tchaikovsky and Richard Danielpour. The Danielpour piece, titled "Inventions on a Marriage," receives its world premiere at the American Theatre concert.

   Ms. Sharon Robinson may be best known for her co-writing Patti LaBelle's chart-topping single from the mid-1980s, New Attitude. But her mark in the music industry goes beyond that.   Ms. Robinson's versatility is well known behind the scenes. She's either produced, composed songs, or sung background for noted artists like Thelma Houston, Aaron Neville, Stevie Nicks, and Randy Crawford. Since the late 1970s, she's collaborated often with music legend Mr. Leonard Cohen either musically or creatively. She's also produced his critically acclaimed Ten New Songs (2001 album), which she appears on its cover with him.    In 2008, after nearly four decades in the music industry, she released her debut album, Everybody Knows; its title track is co-written by Mr. Cohen.   Next will be one of The Maverick's literary colleagues, Mr. William Frederick Cooper, an Essence Magazine best-selling author. We will chat to a sub-theme, The Mistakes Men, and there is no telling where we might go with that.   Mr. Cooper's literary works include Six Days in January, There's Always a Reason, and his 2011 title Dreams Do Come True: A Season in Pinstripes.

Sharon Robinson talks exclusively to Smooth Jazz and More!

This week, it's the many flavors of America's great art form. Jazz. For more than a century this style of music has refused strict categorization. From Bop to Rag, Funk to Swing the cool sounds of Jazz are always mixing with and attaching itself to other genres. Today the polyrhythms, syncopation, and blue notes blend seamlessly with electronic beats, bass and melody. Exploring this musical confluence are Avatar, Psychedelicious, Sharon Robinson, Chillerstadt, Groove Inc and Beatropolis.
