I'm joined by my friend Simon James French, AKA SJF, a musician and creative and the first person I ever introduced to Bitcoin. We talk about life in the fiat cities of London & Tokyo, what it means to create low-time preference music and art in a world of chaos and noise, and the importance of running your own business for a sense of self-sovereignty. ‍--- Links: Simon's Substack: https://ohayo.substack.com/ Simon's Music: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCoU6jMwAtwbK14Q6OIcfs_Q Wander the Night collaboration - https://wanderthenight.com Cody & Simon's podcast: Conversations Late at Night - https://podcastindex.org/podcast/5113400 Simon's website: https://www.simonjamesfrench.com/ --- Support this Show: Support TTOV - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.thetransformationofvalue.com/support⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ --- Connect: X - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://x.com/TTOVpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Instagram - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.instagram.com/codyellingham⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ Nostr - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://njump.me/npub1uth29ygt090fe640skhc8l34d9s7xlwj4frxs2esezt7n6d64nwsqcmmmu⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ YouTube - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.youtube.com/@ttovpodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ --- Credits: The Transformation of Value is produced by Cody Ellingham Show music by Simon James French - ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.simonjamesfrench.com/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ ---

Today for Song of the Soul we head to England for a visit with Hilary James. A couple weeks back we had a wonderful time with her partner, Simon James, with some of his songs including Hilary's beautiful voice and singing. Hilary's love of music is wide, and while much of it was part of the English folk club scene of the 1960s and 70s, her musical palate definitely included blues and other forms that we less commonly think of as folk music in the US.

When Brighton & Hove Council started sharing ideas to make secondary schools more integrated in October 2024, it sparked intense debate across the city.In this second episode of our special series, Class Divide explores how progressive values are tested when change affects our own children's education. From parents wrestling with their fears about change to communities long excluded from real school choice, we uncover what happens when a city's self-image collides with educational inequality.Through conversations with families across Brighton, we explore how privilege maintains itself, even in a city proud of its progressive values. As the consultation on school admissions reaches its critical phase, we ask: can Brighton embrace the change needed to create truly integrated schools?Links & Resources:Take part in the Council's consultation on school admissions (open until January 31st)Link to Episode 1Featured Guests:Alice - Parent, Preston ParkLaura - Parent, Preston ParkLewis - Parent, WhitehawkNicola - Parent and Equity in Education campaignerRose - Parent and Longhill School advocateAdam Dennett - Professor of GeographyCharley O'Regan - Senior Schools Engagement Manager, Sutton TrustChris Ward MPCredits:Curtis James - Writer and ProducerEve Streeter - Executive ProducerCarlie Goldsmith - Editorial Guidance & Class Divide co-founderMusic Credits:Music in this series was kindly donated by Olivier Alary, Maaja Nuut, Rumm, Neil Hale, Salvatore Mercatante, Polypores, Minor Pieces, Shida Shahabi, Max de Wardener, Simon James, Rutger Hoedemaekers, Toydrum, The Official Body, Benjamin Harrison, Traams, and Clarice Jensen.

When Brighton made history by giving children on free school meals priority access to secondary schools, it became the first city in England to take such a bold step towards educational equality. But was it enough? In this first episode of a special three-part series, Class Divide explores why true integration of our schools matters - not just for our poorest children, but for everyone.From Longhill High School's fight against stigma to groundbreaking research on school segregation, we uncover how a city proud of its progressive values faces its biggest test yet. Through conversations with teachers, researchers and families, we explore what happens when principles meet personal choices, and why creating truly mixed schools could be the key to Brighton's future.As the city considers its next steps towards educational equality, we ask: can Brighton live up to its reputation as a haven of inclusivity when change affects our own children's education? Join us as we explore how building an education system that works for our poorest children first creates better schools for everyone.Links & Resources:Take part in the Council's consultation on school admissions (open until January 31st)Class Divide's Just Giving pageLink to Episode 1Key Organisations Mentioned:The Crew ClubThe Sutton TrustDurham University Evidence Center for EducationFeatured Guests:Rachelle Otulakowski - Headteacher, Longhill High SchoolProfessor Stephen Gorard - Durham UniversitySammy Wright - Headteacher and former Social Mobility CommissionerRichard Kahlenberg - Education researcherCharley O'Regan - Senior Schools Engagement Manager, Sutton TrustLeslie Reeves - Social prescribing health worker and East Brighton ParentBeth - Whitehawk parentDave - Whitehawk parentCarlie Goldsmith - Class Divide co-founderJo Lyons - Assistant Director for Education and Skills, Brighton & Hove City CouncilCouncillor Jacob Taylor - Deputy Leader of the CouncilCredits:Curtis James - Writer and ProducerEve Streeter - Executive ProducerCarlie Goldsmith - Editorial Guidance & Class Divide co-founderMusic Credits:Music in this series was kindly donated by Olivier Alary, Maaja Nuut, Rumm, Neil Hale, Salvatore Mercatante, Polypores, Minor Pieces, Shida Shahabi, Max de Wardener, Simon James, Rutger Hoedemaekers, Toydrum, The Official Body, Benjamin Harrison, Traams, and Clarice Jensen.

This is an episode we've been wanting to cover for a long time now! In it we explore the challenges in entering and developing in prehospital critical care, which translate into pretty much developing in any new role both in and out of health care. We cover some pretty personally challenging experiences and the strategies that both clinicians new to prehospital critical care may find useful to employ. We also discuss how supervisors can use these techniques to both guide and support new clinicians.  The four main areas discussed are; Decision making Prioritisation of tasks Leadership Incorporating evidence based medicine into practice We wrap up exploring how reflection can be used to accelerate growth as a clinician but also the risks of over-reflection! We really hope you enjoy the episode and would love to hear any thoughts or feedback on the episode both on the website and via social media. Simon & James

Sound artist and composer Simon James reflects on his recent project with young people in Whitehawk, initiated as part of the Class Divide campaign - fighting against the educational attainment gap in East Brighton. Sounds recorded during workshops, both on the Whitehawk housing estate and on an adjacent archaeological site, formed part of the exhibition Neolithic Cannibals: Deep Listening to the Unheard. Neolithic Cannibals recreated the Neolithic Camp - a place of communion, celebration, and ritual - as a compassionate listening space inviting audiences to discover Whitehawk's richness, joy, playfulness, and hope, empowering local voices through rarely explored sonic expressions. Simon discusses the process of the project, and how listening played a central part throughout it.

We've covered Cardiac Arrest management (as in the medical delivery of it) in a previous Roadside to Resusepsiode. Since then we've had some updates with Paramedic-2, Refractory VF, Airways-2  and a whole host of other papers. But what we haven't talked much about is the art of creating the environment, space & workflow to deliver the best medical care possible.  Whilst these might seem like less exciting and important parts of the package, they probably require a greater degree of skill and knowledge than running the medical aspects of the arrest. To do them with excellence you need to anticipate every single objective/obstacle that could stand in your way, including the medical interventions involved and the challenges of that unique case and environment.  In this episode we run through the aspects of a cardiac arrest right from the initiation of the case to the clearing/transfer to onwards care. We talk about the use of immediate, urgent and definitive plans and then run through how these translate into both in-hospital and prehospital arrests. We personally got a lot out of preparing and thinking about this episode, so we hope you find it useful too! We'd love to hear any thoughts or feedback on this slightly different style of episode either on the website or via X @TheResusRoom! Simon & James

SUSPENSE, Episode 55 Premiered May 10, 2024 Suspense is one of classic radio's most highly-regarded dramas -- with good reason. It sustained a remarkably high quality level of dramatic tension for 20 years, as the many surviving recordings attest. But a handful of episodes are lost - and Project Audion now recreates one of them. "The Life of Nellie James" was intended as Suspense's premiere, but circumstances pushed it back to the third episode. It was performed once, live, on July 1, 1942, but never heard again. Until now -- as Project Audion, kicking off its fifth season, brings together a transcontinental cast in a live transcription of "The Life of Nellie James" from the original 1942 script. A dreadful murder takes place in the Simon James home, and justice is done ...or is it? It's a tale well-calculated to keep you in ...Suspense! Featured in our cast are – Patte Rosebank in Canada Tim Burns in Kansas Andy Hartson-Bowyer in Virginia Richard Huitema in Florida Mel Rose in Pennsylvania Pete Lutz in Texas Art Brown in California Denny Thompson in Colorado Frank Guglielmelli in Pennsylvania Sharon Grunwald in New Jersey Larry Groebe produced and directed from Texas

Ben has teamed up with the Forestry Commission once again to make this mini-series focussed on trees on farms. In this series we are asking three questions focussed on the ‘why', ‘what' and ‘how' of farm woodland management. In the first episode we were asking why we need to improve our management of farm woodlands in the UK in the first place? In this second episode we have a question time format asking ‘what farmers need to know about managing trees?', and in the third and final episode we'll be asking how farmers can manage their farm woodlands better, using the practical example of a woodland management plan. Ben is joined by his Forestry Commission co-host Jon Burgess who is a Woodland Resilience Officer based in the south west. In this episode Ben and Jon are joined by Simon James who is Woodland Management and Policy Senior Manager at the Small Woods Association and James Ramskir-Gardiner who is the national agroforestry advisor at the Forestry Commission. Forestry Commission: gov.uk/manage-woodlandSmall Woods Association: https://www.smallwoods.org.uk/ and  Sustainable Woodland Management Course – Course Calendar (smallwoods.org.uk)Link to LEAF reference that James Ramskir-Gardiner mentions - https://leaf.eco/farming/resources/ash-diebackSimon James refers to the Sustainable Woodland Management Course – Course Calendar (smallwoods.org.uk) and the Tree Council's Guidance Canopy decline Tree-Council-Ash-dieback-tree-owners-guide-FINAL.pdf (treecouncil.org.uk)Ash dieback resources: https://leaf.eco/farming/resources/ash-diebackTree Council's guidance on canopy decline Tree-Council-Ash-dieback-tree-owners-guide-FINAL.pdf (treecouncil.org.uk) Meet the Farmers is produced by RuralPod Media, the only specialist rural podcast production agency. Please note that this podcast does not constitute advice.

Dr Lucy Blue speaks with a number of team members working under the direction of Professor of Simon James at the site of Dreamer's Bay on the southern tip of Akrotiri Peninsula in Cyprus.  At this ancient port complex discoveries range from an ancient mole – or massive stone breakwater, a wreck with a cargo of tiles, and stone anchors among other remains possibly dating to the Roman or Byzantine periods.  The site poses many questions, including why the breakwater is where it is and what was the relative sea level would have been.  By comparing it to other ancient harbours in Cyprus can these and other questions be answered?  

In this episode, we're celebrating Pride Month with British author and screenwriter Simon James Green. Simon joins host Suzanne McCabe to talk about Gay Club!, his hilarious new novel for young adults. The story revolves around Barney Brown, a self-described chess geek who wants to lead his high school's LGBTQIA+ Society to better days. But Barney faces unexpected competition in the group's presidential election from rival Bronte, who manages to have the voting opened to the entire student body at Greenacre Academy. Little by little, the stakes are raised, showing the teens at their worst—and, ultimately, their best. Simon is also the author of Heartbreak Boys, Alex in Wonderland, Noah Could Never, and You're the One That I Want, among many other acclaimed titles. → Resources Read With Pride: These LGBTQIA+ books for kids are relatable and eye-opening for all readers.

Order Gay Club! on Amazon: Barney is a shoo-in for president of his school's LGBTQIA+ Society until he's not. Simon James Green's new YA novel offers “shade, scandals, and sleazy shenanigans.” → Highlights Simon James Green, author, Gay Club! “You can't help but look at the state of politics, both in the UK and the U.S., and all around the world, actually, and just see how increasingly ridiculous things seem to be getting…. I wanted to capture a little bit of that sort of craziness.” “When I go into the schools and visit students, I am filled with a sense of hope because my overwhelming impression is that they are very open, very accepting. They really don't understand this pushback from various adults in their communities. They don't get it. They think it's ridiculous.” “It's very hard to work out who you are as a young person if you never see yourself represented in a book. And certainly for me, in the ‘90s . . . I never got to see an LGBT character in a book or an LGBT storyline. And so I grew up having no real idea about that. It would've had such an amazing effect on me if I'd seen a kid going through what I was going through, feeling similar things. It gives you an enormous amount of reassurance and comfort. It lets you know you're not the only one. And beyond that, of course, even if you're not LGBT yourself, what it does is it opens your eyes to the whole world, the wider world, the stuff that your friends, your peers, are going through.” “What you need to do is stand together, united, to fight for your rights and for freedom, and for the freedom to read whatever book you want to read in the school library.” “I wrote my first book when I was 12 years old on my grandmother's typewriter in her little study at home.” → Special Thanks Producer: Maxine Osa Sound engineer: Daniel Jordan Music composer: Lucas Elliot Eberl → Coming Soon The Scholastic Innovation Lab Goosebumps Heads Back to Television

In the final episode of the series, we delve into a story that exemplifies the emergence of hope from the darkest of places. We visit the Crew Club, a community centre at the heart of the council estate in Brighton where the murder of a young boy nearly three decades ago inspired something extraordinary—a place of hope. We travel to Finland and Doncaster to hear how education can be different and successful. We advocate for individuals to overcome prejudices, acknowledge privilege, and recognise the collective responsibility of towns and cities to nurture and support young people.

In this episode we delve into the deep-rooted issues of inequality within the British education system, focusing on catchments and school admissions in Brighton and Hove. We uncover how these factors perpetuate segregation and limit opportunities for children from less privileged backgrounds.

In this episode, we're in Whitehawk, one of the most underprivileged communities in the UK, where we will meet the residents who call this place home. We will look into the issues facing this community and explore how the stigma attached to council estates like Whitehawk has contributed to the systemic inequalities that exist in our education system.We'll uncover the challenges faced by those living in this community, including high levels of poverty and low educational attainment. We'll also explore how the stigmatisation of council estates has perpetuated these issues and made it even harder for individuals to break the cycle of poverty and disadvantage.Featuring:The Whitehawk Bygones Society speak about moving to Whitehawk as children and where the negative perceptions of the area might have come from; social historian and author John Boughton; writer, performer, and activist Byron Vincent; and rapper, broadcaster, campaigner, and Orwell Prize-winning author Darren McGarvey, who talks about the flawed approach of always bringing outsiders into a community to "fix things".Class Divide was written and produced by Curtis James.

A year ago, as I was preparing my memorial Countermelody episode dedicated to Maria Ewing I was struck anew at just how naturally she had mastered the often messy “crossover” genre. Perhaps that's because she never “crossed over” at all: this material formed part of her essence. I thought it would be a lovely thing to give a more complete picture of her work as a pop singer, using three primary sources: first, her 1990 studio pop album entitled “From this Moment On,” featuring arrangements by Richard Rodney Bennett; second, a rare release entitled “Simply Maria,” which comprises a live concert she gave at the Barbican Centre in London in 10 May 1997; and third, live and studio recordings that she made in in the early 2000s with the jazz combo Kymaera, led by guitarist Simon James. The range of material is dizzying, from Broadway classics by Rodgers and Hammerstein, Cole Porter, Jule Styne, Harold Arlen, Cy Coleman, Kurt Weill, and George and Ira Gershwin to jazz stylings by Tom Jobim, eden ahbez, and Billy Strayhorn, with more than a few surprises along the way, and her mastery of it all is exceptional, with all of the intense commitment she showed in her operatic portrayals (and none of the condescension or preciousness associated with certain other crossover artists). I'm so thrilled to share this less well-known side of one of the great operatic singing actors of our time. Countermelody is a podcast devoted to the glory and the power of the human voice raised in song. Singer and vocal aficionado Daniel Gundlach explores great singers of the past and present focusing in particular on those who are less well-remembered today than they should be. Daniel's lifetime in music as a professional countertenor, pianist, vocal coach, voice teacher, and journalist yields an exciting array of anecdotes, impressions, and “inside stories.” At Countermelody's core is the celebration of great singers of all stripes, their instruments, and the connection they make to the words they sing.

The link will also take you to Countermelody's Patreon page, where you can pledge your monthly support at whatever level you can afford. Bonus episodes available exclusively to Patreon supporters are currently available and further bonus content including interviews and livestreams is planned for the upcoming season.

NO TE PIERDAS LOS NUEVOS LANZAMIENTOS DEL SMOOTH JAZZ: https://www.ivoox.com/podcast-smooth-jazz-discover_sq_f11360464_1.html _____________________________________________________________________________ Viajar en el tiempo, unos de los fervientes deseos del ser humano. Nosotros aquí lo hacemos: viajamos al pasado para recordar grandes éxitos del Smooth Jazz que ya son icónicos. Temas que permanecen en nuestra memoria pero que no recordábamos. Te refrescamos musilcalmente. Cascos, sofá y 60 minutos de tu tiempo… sólo te pedimos eso. Vamos del impresionante Hardcastle - sí, el de aquel 19 que todavía rememoramos- al desaparecido Nick Colionne que nos dejaba en enero de este año. Vamos al Minucci de los mejores tiempos y recalamos en temas impresionantes de los Acoustic Alchemy, formación que nació y crece a la sombra de las guitarras acústicas de Simon James y Nick Webb . No podía faltar la nobleza de todo esto: The Rippingtones - la banda estadounidense de Smooth jazz y Crossover jazz, formada en 1986 por el guitarrista Russ Freeman -, Bob Baldwin -creador y rey del Urban Jazz- o el gran Torcuato Mariano, el maestro nacido en Argentina, y afincado en la tierra de Pelé, que ahora también tiene voz en el televisivo The Voice Brasil. Acompañó a los grandes... Léo Gandelman, Djavan, Gal Costa, Gilberto Gil, Cazuza, Caetano Veloso o Marina Lima. Time travel, one of mankind's fervent desires. We do it here: we travel back in time to remember great Smooth Jazz hits that are already iconic. Tracks that remain in our memory but that we didn't remember. We refresh you musically. Headphones, sofa and 60 minutes of your time... that's all we ask of you. We go from the impressive Hardcastle - yes, the one from that 19th that we still remember - to the late Nick Colionne who left us in January this year. Let's go to the Minucci of the best times and let's go to impressive songs by the Acoustic Alchemy, a band that was born and grew up in the shadow of the acoustic guitars of Simon James and Nick Webb. The Rippingtones - the American Smooth jazz and Crossover jazz band, formed in 1986 by guitarist Russ Freeman -, Bob Baldwin - creator and king of Urban Jazz - or the great Torcuato Mariano, the master born in Argentina, and settled in the land of Pelé, who now also has a voice in The Voice Brazil, could not be missing from all this. He accompanied the greats... Léo Gandelman, Djavan, Gal Costa, Gilberto Gil, Cazuza, Caetano Veloso and Marina Lima. 2009 | PETER WHITE "JUST GIVE ME A CHANCE" 2008 | PAUL HARDCASTLE "KEEP MOVIN' ON" 2006 | NICK COLIONNE "KEEPIN' IT COOL" 2002 | JOE MCBRIDE "KEEPIN' IT REAL" 2003 | CHIELI MINUCCI "KICKIN' IT HARD" 2001 | RICK BRAUN "KISSES IN THE RAIN" 2003 | ACOUSTIC ALCHEMY "MILO" 2009 | THE RIPPINGTONS "MODERN ART" 1988 | THE RIPPINGTONS "MOROCCO" 2000 | BOB BALDWIN "NEVER CAN SAY GOODBYE" 1999 | 3RD FORCE "REVELATION OF THE HEART" 1994 | TORCUATO MARIANO "RIO STOMP" 2015 | LUXURY GROOVES "ROYAL TRAVELLER"
