In this episode, Shifting Ground Collective founding members, Joshua Kilimnick, Shannon Murtagh, and Colette Richardson join me to unpack the story behind their latest production, "Merrily We Roll Along." Their journey reflects not just the highs and lows of the creative process, but also the resilience and enthusiasm needed to bring a classic Stephen Sondheim musical to Canadian audiences, all while nurturing new talents and weathering the storms of the pandemic. They also discuss the reality of running an indie theater company, balancing day jobs with their artistic aspirations. From the excitement of pub nights where show tunes reign supreme to the challenges of staging ambitious productions, they reveal the collective spirit that powers their endeavours. They also discuss a new musical in development, "Statistics," a production intertwining the personal and the historical, where academic pressure meets the remarkable story of Rosalind Franklin.

The U.S. military is to a certain extent a microcosm of the population it serves. While this ensures that the military includes the best characteristics of society, it also means that the military must contend with societal challenges as well. Political polarization among the citizens of the United States is higher than it has been in decades, and that has implications for a representative military. Michael Robinson is in the studio to discuss his study of the phenomenon and the potential politicization of the military ranks. He joins host Carrie Lee for a conversation about his book, Dangerous Instrument: Political Polarization and U.S. Civil-Military Relations. This is the second episode in our special series supporting the U.S. Army War College's Civil-Military Relations Center.

New name...same award-winning insights.   "On Shifting Ground with Ray Suarez" drops on October 31st.

Hurricane Ida killed dozens of Lousianans and displaced tens of thousands of others. Among the hardest hit were bilingual and French-speaking communities close to the Mississippi Delta. Alces Adams lives halfway between New Orleans and the Gulf of Mexico in the small community of Cut Off in Lafourche Parish. Hurricane Ida destroyed his trailer.People in this part of Louisiana — bayou country — have long learned to live under adverse weather conditions. But things have gotten much worse in recent years. Rising sea levels, erosion and storm after storm have flooded entire communities. For some French speakers, Hurricane Ida was the last straw, and now many are moving away.A year after Ida, Adams' trailer looks just as it did the day after the storm — twisted and torn apart with furniture spilling out, as if attacked by a pack of wild animals. Next to it is a new trailer, Adams' temporary home provided by FEMA, the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Alces Adams in front of what is left of his trailer, Cut Off, Louisiana.  Credit: Courtesy of Julia Kumari Drapkin Adams was born a block away in his grandparents' house. His family's older generation spoke only French. Adams said his grandmother learned English, but refused to speak it, except for one word: “Yeah.” “English was forced on us about 100 years ago,” Adams said. That's when English was declared the only language of instruction in public schools.Adams recalled listening to his older relatives as they told him stories in French. Even then, he said, he considered the language beautiful. “I loved listening to that.”Adams' grandmother and others told him stories of storms and floods they had survived. It helped prepare him — still a child — when Hurricane Betsy battered the region in 1965.“I was thinking of getting a sash or vest or something: ‘I survived Betsy, Katrina, Ida,'" Adams said. “All the monsters that I survived."Adams doesn't know what's next for him. He comes from a long line of Cajuns who he said were compelled to move from one place to another, to escape poverty or discrimination, or hurricanes and flooding. The French language has been a constant in all of this generational change. Adams knows that each time a French speaker moves away, it's another micro-blow to the survival of French in southern Louisiana. Tulane University linguist Nathalie Dajko and Alces Adams in a storage unit containing Alces' possessions, Cut Off, Louisiana. Credit: Courtesy of Julia Kumari Drapkin Tulane University linguist Nathalie Dajko has been tracking the decline of French in Lafourche and neighboring Terrebonne Parishes for nearly 20 years. She was in graduate school at Tulane when Hurricane Katrina hit in 2005. It left hundreds of thousands of people homeless. Some even ended up in camps that were scattered across several southern states. Dajko visited a few of the camps as part of a gig she had with Save the Children, a nongovernmental organization.“Every now and again, we'd come across these French speakers,” Dajko said.“They would be so excited to meet somebody who spoke French, and they would talk about how they missed the French.”They told Dajko about constantly moving, about the language dying and the land eroding. She came to understand the strength of their attachment to the land.After that, she began visiting French speakers still living in bayou country. She recorded their conversations as part of a research project that eventually became a book, “French on Shifting Ground,” about the double loss of language and land. Louisiana French isn't standard Parisian French. But French has had longstanding roots in the region after France claimed it in 1682. With the area drawing French speakers, the language gained a foothold. It even spread to local Indigenous tribes in the 1700s. They'd formed protective alliances with the colonial French against the British. Some of their descendants still speak French, especially those who live closer to the ocean — and the floods and storms.Across a causeway from one of the larger bayous in Terrebonne Parish is an island called Isle de Jean Charles. Abandoned dwellings are everywhere: collapsed walls, caved-in roofs, debris. A couple of the houses are being fixed up. But most aren't. Near the end of the road, a house with a sign outside says, “Isle de Jean Charles is not dead. Climate change sucks.” Chris Brunet, who answered the door in a wheelchair, said he spoke French at home and English at school. Like Alces Adams, Brunet's grandmother only spoke French; his parents were bilingual. Everyone living on the island was a member of the Biloxi-Chitimacha-Choctaw tribe.  Chris Brunet outside his home, Isle de Jean Charles, Louisiana.  Credit: Courtesy of Julia Kumari Drapkin Brunet said he's always lived on Isle de Jean Charles, even as most others left. “Hurricane Ida is the first storm to damage the house,” he said, pointing out his damaged roof. “But it's still standing and it's repairable.” It's one of the few salvageable dwellings here. Most are, as Brunet put it, “gone.”Also likely to be gone soon is this entire island. In the past 65 years, Isle de Jean Charles has shrunk from 22,000 acres to just 320. It's not just the storms. There are many reasons why the land is vanishing: rising sea levels, the rerouting of the Mississippi river — some of it natural, some engineered — canal construction, land erosion, some of that caused by oil and gas extraction. Then there's the levee system, expanded after Hurricane Katrina: a life-saver for those living within it; potentially catastrophic if you're on the outside of it.That's why Brunet, and almost everyone else on the island, is leaving, with federal government assistance, to a city 35 miles inland where virtually no one speaks French.“If I had to predict, I would suggest that people are not going to maintain French,” linguist Nathalie Dajko said.That's the usual pattern when a community is forced to move, Dajko added. As closely as they may stick together in their new home, they're leaving a place — an isolated place — that holds strong associations with the French language. Still, Dajko has studied these French and bilingual communities for close to two decades, and said they're full of surprises. “People have been predicting the death of Louisiana French for generations and it just won't die,” she said. “You cannot predict what people are going to do. They're worse than predicting the weather. They always do something you don't expect.”Dajko clings to this sliver of hope. Indeed, it is the hope of many in the region that the French language will survive the floods of bayou country. For more on the French speakers of southern Louisiana, listen to this episode of "Subtitle," a podcast about languages and the people who speak them.

Before founding a software company, Brett Goldberg was an importer and distributor of a very successful line of skincare products. Brett loves to build things that people use, and to dialog with them. Here our conversation ranges from key recommendations for vendors in today's marketplace, to the importance of relationships, and the need to balance repetition and creativity. After a minute of Brett welcoming listeners in Kurdish, Spanish, and French, he shares keen insights, for example: 4:27 – “to stay grounded, a small company needs to always be a mammal… to scamper between the dinosaurs and not get crushed.” 11:02 “as an entrepreneur you have to discipline yourself to allocate resources to new ideas. If you're not first to market you only have yourself to blame.” 13:02 – “you need that discipline to not reinvent yourself every day, but you also need… to continue inventing…manage the dialectic between repetition and creativity.” 18:11 – “also vendors need to start making an investment in online marketing so a certain % of sales are B2C.”

Neil Andersen and Carol Arcus use the controversy over recently-released photos of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau wearing "brown face" at a 2011 costume party as a backdrop for a conversation about Marshall McLuhan's concept of "figure" and "ground". Do shifting "grounds" change how we perceive the figure? An interesting and thought-provoking conversation.

Given the explosive popularity of Amazon, some traditional retailers have resorted to introducing in-store “experiences” to lure shoppers through their doors. Others, meanwhile, rely on key competitive advantages to insulate themselves from retail’s biggest disruptor. And what does all this change mean for the great American shopping mall? Here to make sense of the shifting landscape is investment analyst Anne-Marie Peterson, a 22-year industry observer of the U.S. retail scene. She discusses what today’s disruptive forces could mean for investors and even shares what’s on her shopping list this holiday season.

As electric utility companies face new challenges -- outdated energy infrastructure, rising fossil fuel prices, incorporating renewable energy sources -- state utility regulators have a unique and important role to play in the future of energy generation in the U.S. State utility commissions are responsible for overseeing the practices of investor-owned utility companies, which provide the majority of our country's energy services -- everything from setting energy rates to approving utility investments and enforcing renewable portfolio standards. The decisions regulators make over the next few years will determine the future of energy utilities for years to come. To help understand our country's emerging energy crisis and sketch out a transition plan for the next generation of electric utilities, we spoke with Ron Binz, former chairman of the Colorado Public Utility Commission and principle of Public Policy Consulting. Binz authored a new Ceres report called "Practicing Risk-Aware Electricity Regulation: What Every State Regulator Needs to Know", which looks at the role of state regulators in shaping the future of our national energy system.
