George III's mental incapacitation was formally recognised by Parliament on February 5th, 1811, when The Regency Act handed power to his son, the future George IV.  Though George III had struggled with bouts of illness for decades, his periods of lucidity made it difficult to decide when, or even if, he should be replaced. He resisted the idea of ceding power, particularly to his son, with whom he had a notoriously difficult relationship. Parliament wasn't thrilled about George IV either, seeing him as indulgent, irresponsible, and politically aligned with the opposition. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly examine George III's "mad spells"; discover the shockingly cruel treatments contemporary medicine offered up - including blistering his skin with arsenic, dunking him in freezing water, and using leeches to "suck out the madness" - and explain how he kept the love of his people even as his health declined… CONTENT WARNING: mental health trauma, infant mortality.

Before Yuri Gagarin, before Alan Shepard… a chimp called Ham was blasted into space for six-and-a-half minutes of weightlessness on 31st January, 1961. He successfully returned to Earth without serious physical injury, albeit over 100 miles away from NASA's intended splashdown location. Travelling at 5,857 m.p.h, Ham was seated in a special chair called a ‘biopack', which administered electric shocks to the soles of his feet if he failed to complete basic tasks in orbit. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly consider how Ham's schooling had striking parallels with the training undertaken by human astronauts; reveal just how much of him is actually ‘buried' at the International Space Hall of Fame; and explain the fate of the SECOND chimp in space, Enos, who wasn't quite so lucky…  CONTENT WARNING: animal cruelty, animal experimentation and dissection Further Reading: • Meet Ham The Chimp, The Animal Astronaut Who Changed History (All That's Interesting, 2021): https://allthatsinteresting.com/ham-the-chimp • ‘Ham the astrochimp: hero or victim?'

Join Paula Peters, citizen of the Mashpee Wampanoag Tribe as she shares the historical and cultural legacy and story of the Wampanoag: the People of the First Light. She unravels common misperceptions and false narratives around the first “Thanksgiving” and the harvest of 1621 involving Native people and the first colonizers, the Pilgrims. By acknowledging what has gone before, she invites us to envision and collectively create a balanced way forward for humanity. The Wampanoag have lived in southeastern Massachusetts for more than 12,000 years. They are the tribe first encountered by Mayflower Pilgrims when they landed in Provincetown harbor and explored the eastern coast of Cape Cod and when they continued on to Patuxet (Plymouth) to establish Plymouth Colony. In 2020, America commemorated the 400th anniversary of the Mayflower voyage and the founding of Plymouth Colony, a story that cannot be told without the perspective of the indigenous people who were here as that ship arrived and who still remain.

In America's collective consciousness, Pat Nixon has long been perceived as enigmatic. She was voted “Most Admired Woman in the World” in 1972 and made Gallup Poll's top ten list of most admired women fourteen times. She survived the turmoil of the Watergate scandal with her popularity and dignity intact. And yet, the media often portrayed Mrs. Nixon as elusive and mysterious. The real Pat Nixon, however, bore little resemblance to the woman so often described in the press. Pat married California lawyer Richard Nixon in June of 1940, becoming a wife, mother, and her husband's trusted political partner in short order. As the couple rose to prominence, Pat became Second Lady from 1953-1961 and then First Lady from 1969-1974, forging her own graceful path between the protocols of the strait-laced mid-century and the bra-burning Sixties and Seventies. About Heath Hardage Lee: Heath Hardage Lee is an award-winning historian, biographer, and curator. Heath's second book, The League of Wives is being developed into a television series. Heath and her work have been featured on the Today Show, C-Span, and on the Smithsonian Channel's America's Hidden Stories. She also writes about history and politics for publications such as Time, The Hill, The Atlantic and White House History Quarterly. She lives in Roanoke, Virginia, with her husband Chris, her children Anne Alston and James, and her French bulldog Dolly Parton.

Today on the show we're talking about a bona fide beauty icon—Elizabeth Arden, who built the cosmetics empire of the same name beginning in 1910. Now, if you think about that time period, not many women were running a beauty empire, but she was. At the height of her career, she was one of the wealthiest women in the world, but what do we really know about Elizabeth Arden, the woman? Well, first of all, Elizabeth Arden is not her birth name—that would be Florence Nightengale Graham. Elizabeth Arden is largely to thank for establishing makeup as proper and appropriate, and even necessary, as previously makeup was only associated with actresses and prostitutes. Today's guest, Dr. Stacy A. Cordery, has written a brilliant book about this remarkable woman called Becoming Elizabeth Arden: The Woman Behind the Global Beauty Empire, which is out September 3. Buoyed by her genuine belief that “every woman deserves to be beautiful,” as Stacy writes, “her salons empowered women—not just to look their best, but to be their best.” Elizabeth Arden was known for its three simple foundational skincare steps—cleanse, tone, and nourish. It's also known for its red door salons, the Arden look, color harmony, and now, for being an empire. Today on the show, Stacy teaches us about the woman and about the company, which was acquired by Revlon in 2016 for a whopping $870 million. Elizabeth Arden is responsible for fashioning the American woman. She made cosmetics mandatory, if one wanted to be fashionable. Stacy writes that her creative genius still influences fashion and design today, and “From the humblest of origins, pioneering businesswoman Elizabeth Arden grew into a global industry leader." She died in 1966 at 84 years old, but certainly not before leaving her mark. Dr. Stacy A. Cordery is here to tell us all about her. She is a biographer and a professor of history at Iowa State University, and is the author of Alice: Alice Roosevelt Longworth, from White House Princess to Washington Power Broker, Juliette Gordon Low: The Remarkable Founder of the Girl Scouts, and two books about President Theodore Roosevelt. You might have seen her work on NPR, The History Channel, CNN, C-SPAN, and The Smithsonian Channel, and now she's right here, right now. Let's take a listen.   Becoming Elizabeth Arden: The Woman Behind the Global Beauty Empire by Dr. Stacy A. Cordery

Today I am talking to author Heath Hardage Lee about one of America's First Ladies, and perhaps one of our most private ones—Pat Nixon, wife of President Richard Nixon. The timing is interesting: earlier this month marked 50 years since President Nixon's resignation from the presidency following Watergate, and earlier this month Heath released her really, really fantastic new book The Mysterious Mrs. Nixon: The Life and Times of Washington's Most Private First Lady, which I absolutely tore through. There is so much we have gotten wrong about Mrs. Nixon over the years. First of all, she was a private woman, which led her to come across as, as the book's title suggests, mysterious. Misunderstood, even. Heath and I speak about this in today's episode, but her public persona was “Plastic Pat,” while the real Mrs. Nixon was anything but. Heath and I talk today about her love story with Richard Nixon; how Mrs. Nixon was First Lady and running the East Wing of the White House at a very interesting time, constantly toeing the line between the traditional wife and modern woman; what doors she opened for women; an example of Pat at her best and at her wobbliest; and so much more. Pat Nixon died in 1993, and, perhaps indicative of his love for her and how much he needed her, President Nixon died just 10 months later. To teach us more about Mrs. Nixon is Heath Hardage Lee, an award-winning historian, biographer, and curator. Heath's book The League of Wives is currently being developed into a television series, and Heath and her work have been featured on The Today Show, C-SPAN, and on the Smithsonian Channel's America's Hidden Stories. She also writes about history and politics for outlets like Time, The Atlantic, The Hill, and White House History Quarterly. Take a listen to our conversation.   The Mysterious Mrs. Nixon: The Life and Times of Washington's Most Private First Lady by Heath Hardage Lee

Thom Pinto is one of the most accomplished voice actors of the last 30 years. In a rare interview, Thom sits down with me and discusses his experience and success in various genres, including commercials, promos, in-show narration, and movie trailers.  He talks about the importance of versatility and the ability to adapt to different genres and shares insights into the challenges and strategies for each genre, such as storytelling in promos, tailoring the voice to the network in in-show narration, and capturing the essence of the drama in movie trailers.  He also discusses the joy he finds in teaching and helping others succeed in the industry. This is our interview with the great and kind Thom Pinto. https://www.thompinto.com/copy-of-styles Takeaways Versatility is key in voice acting, allowing actors to work in different genres and adapt to various roles. Understanding the purpose of the project, the network's brand, and the visuals is crucial in delivering effective in-show narration. Movie trailers require capturing the essence of the drama and telling a story in a short amount of time. Commercials demand finding the balance between being memorable and not dominating the visuals, while also representing the brand. Teaching and helping others succeed in the industry brings great joy and satisfaction.

In his 1887 polemic, On the Genealogy of Morality, Nietzsche suggested that the idea of good and evil, of morality itself, might have been born by slaves. Candida Moss, who holds the Edward Cadbury Chair of Theology at the University of Birmingham, riffs off this Nietzchean idea by suggesting that enslaved Christians, as well as artisans and women, might have actually written (or, at least, transcribed) the Bible. This precariat of antiquity were, Moss argues in her new God's Ghostwriters, not much different to the Amazon delivery men and Uber drivers who now make up the labor force of our digital economy. It's an intriguing argument especially, as Moss gleefully acknowledges, because it will offend many American evangelicals who assume that the Bible was written by white men like Luke, Peter, Mark, Paul, John and Ringo. Happy Easter everyone. Enjoy your Cadbury chocolate eggs and the Resurrection/Passover. Candida Moss is Edward Cadbury Chair of Theology at the University of Birmingham, prior to which she taught for almost a decade at the University of Notre Dame. Moss is the award-winning author or coauthor of seven books, has served as papal news commentator for CBS News, and writes a column for The Daily Beast. She has written for and had her work reported on in the New York Times, the LA Times, the Washington Post, The Guardian, and The Atlantic, among other outlets. Moss has appeared as an on-air expert for CNN and Fox News, and in documentaries for NBC, National Geographic, History Channel, BBC, PBS, Smithsonian Channel, and others. She received her undergraduate degree from the University of Oxford, and MA and PhD from Yale.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators.

Rerun: Why is Sunday the Christian day of rest? Because Jesus said so? No! It was Roman emperor Constantine The Great who decreed on 7th March, 320 that “on the venerable day of the sun, let the magistrate and the people residing in cities rest and let all workshops be closed”.It was a departure from the tradition of commemorating Sabbath on a Saturday, which had been in line with Jewish teachings - and the word of God as depicted in the Bible itself.In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain how the Sumerians and Babylonians also played their part in the seemingly arbitrary division of the week into seven days; ask if Constantine was hedging his bets by merging the Christian calendar with the Roman sun-God's special day; and reveal how the Emperor tried to cheat his way into Heaven at the very last minute…Further Reading:• ‘Constantine Orders That Sunday Becomes A Day of Rest' (BBC History Magazine, 2016): https://www.pressreader.com/uk/bbc-history-magazine/20160225/281698319039318• ‘Sol Invictus - Roman Sun God' (Mythology.net, 2016): https://mythology.net/roman/roman-gods/sol-invictus/• ‘Why Christianity Owes a Lot to the Roman Emperor Constantine' (Smithsonian Channel, 2020): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9y7c9vweo8k‘Why am I hearing a rerun?'

President Woodrow Wilson finally signed into law a bill establishing The Grand Canyon as the USA's 15th National Park on this day in 1919. Although preservation orders had given the Canyon some protection prior to this moment, it had been 37 years since Benjamin Harrison had first attempted to enshrine its special status more specifically. The first white American known to traverse the Colorado River, Joseph C Ives, had proclaimed the Canyon to be ‘valueless'. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly ponder whether full protection would ever have arrived, were it not for the assassination of President McKinley; explain what tourism to the Canyon entailed in the days before the Railroad; and explain why, since 1979, officially sanctioned souvenir rocks have had greater appeal to visitors…  Further Reading: • ‘The Grand Canyon turns 100: rare photos of life and adventure' (The Guardian, 2019): https://www.theguardian.com/environment/gallery/2019/feb/26/the-grand-canyon-turns-100-rare-photos-of-life-and-adventure • ‘The Grand Canyon - By Byron Augustin, Jake Kubena' (Marshall Cavendish Benchmark, 2010): https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/The_Grand_Canyon/K8XI63dLTXkC?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=woodrow+wilson+grand+canyon&pg=PA53&printsec=frontcover • ‘How Was the Grand Canyon Formed?'

What's the best way to usher in the New Year? On this week's episode, legendary voiceover artist Bill Ratner shares a true story from his early days in Radio: When his green card bride Claudine leaves him, he's alone during the Holidays in an empty double wide and his evening shift duties at KJOI (LA's easy listening music station).

Pope Clement V ordered the arrest of all Knights Templar and seizure of their properties on 22nd November, 1307: a day that sealed the fate of the once-celebrated Christian military order. They had attracted the ire of Philip IV of France, who began an international conspiracy to smear their name. Founded in 1118, the Knights Templar initially served as protectors for pilgrims travelling to the Holy Land. Over time, they became wealthy and influential, with a system of castles, churches, and even banks across Western Europe. Many aristocrats, drawn by the prospect of being both monks and knights, joined and supported the order, contributing to its extensive holdings. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly examine the bizarre charges chucked at the Templars; explain how Philip's crusade against them solidified the concept of Friday the 13th being unlucky; and consider how the knights *may* have taken their revenge, via the ‘Templar's Curse'...  Further Reading: • ‘Whatever happened to the Knights Templar?'

When German hikers Erika and Helmut Simon stumbled upon a dead body in the Oertzel Alps on 19th September, 1991, they believed it to be a recently fallen mountaineer, whose cadaver had been preserved in the ice. In fact, the specimen turned out to be 5,300 years old - older than Stonehenge and the Pyramids. The man, nicknamed ‘Ötzi' by the press, had been struck down in mid-stride, and was discovered surrounded by his possessions, which included a copper axe. His remains are now on permanent display in Italy. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly probe into the various theories about how ‘the Iceman' died; reveal what the post-mortem told us were the contents of his last meal; and consider the ‘Curse of the Frozen Mummy'...

In today's heartwarming episode, Patty welcomes Craig Colby, an award-winning executive producer with a fascinating story to share. Craig's journey takes us from his impressive career producing content for networks like Discovery Channel, ESPN Plus, BBC Earth, and the Smithsonian Channel to a surprising pandemic-induced obsession with hats. This newfound passion led to an extraordinary bonding experience with a community of friends, inspiring Craig's book "All Caps: Stories That Justify an Outrageous Hat Collection," which later won the Canadian Book Club Award for Best Nonfiction Book of 2022. The memoir isn't just about caps; it's about connections and memories associated with each hat. Craig shares touching stories, like a miraculous encounter with the Toronto Maple Leaves that brightened his son's darkest days. This episode reminds us to find happiness even in the face of adversity and to cherish the moments that truly matter.

We're here to help you – not to sell you!Transcript: KevinAll right. She thought we had already talked about it. And we did. Everyone knows now the building certainty by Julie has been written, but I was like, No, the people need a full interview of just you. There's not an audio book currently, right?JulieNo, not an audio book.KevinSo for those of of those people in the audience who are more like my kids, prepping for school by listening to their books are supposed to read over the summer, I don't know how I feel about that, but some people might need some more like insight in an audio format in order to encourage them to do something that apparently no one does anymore, which is actually read a book.JulieI love it. Well, this is fun. I've never done it from this side. I mean, obviously I'm on the podcast pretty regularly, but never in this seat before where you're interviewing, I guess me. So this is.KevinFirst of all, we have to celebrate and I think we did this a couple times on social media, but people are buying your book. Yes. They read it and implement it. You know, fingers crossed. Hopefully you do good for your business and good for your career. But people are buying the book. It's already it's already fantastically successful, number one, in Amazon under real estate for new releases.KevinI think for long. So who knows? Yeah, I like the fact that you get equally nervous discussing such things as I do.JulieYeah, I know, I know. Well, it's a world like, I don't know. Some people know I used to write fiction, so I have fiction books out, but this is the still different. So this has been fun and it's been fun seeing people say, Oh, I bought multiple copies for my team. It's just it's been fun and the support has been great.KevinYeah. All right. Well, let the hot seat begin. The pleasantries are over.JulieOkay, I'm ready.KevinAnd my main question for you is there are nine, ten, ten chapters in the book. Are there a couple of chapters where you feel like not not the ones that are your favorite to write or you learn the most when you're researching or looking into something, but that you feel like people need. Like a lot of times a little more context.KevinWhen you work with 80 different homebuilders around the country, people are always like, How do you know what to talk about or insight? Because we just you can tell what people need. This was definitely something that people needed. But what are there particular chapters that you think people need more than more than others? When you look at what what folks are doing in today's landscape?JulieSure. One is that probably the shortest chapter. Well, except for the last one, just kind of worksheet. But chapter five is all about like, what do we prioritize? I think what we see with a lot of builders that we're like, Hey, how's content going in the room? Because it encompasses so much and then they just don't know which of those many things that are out there should I actually be working on.JulieSo it's about how to assess what you're currently doing, look at the needs of the company, look at what's out there in the future and how to actually figure out like, okay, what do we actually need to focus on right now and what do we need to start putting into place for the future? So that's kind of a short, quick chapter, but it's also helping them focus in on out of all these things we've talked about in the book, what what do I do first?KevinYeah, I think if you focus on those things that are most important, then you can start building momentum. And a lot of times people just get stuck. And like I talked to someone yesterday, well, we we partner with a company right now to help us create content. I talk to them for a half hour and then four or five weeks later they'll give me something in writing about what we talked about that she's just like, it just feels so slow and hard and it doesn't seem like this is the right, right way to be going about it.KevinSo I think we need to send them a copy of the book and I'll be helpful. But I agree. I think people don't. They're often disillusioned by response to content out of the gate. Mm hmm. I go I always go back to the podcast regularly. Now it gets 500 listeners per episode or so, sometimes a little more, sometimes a little less.KevinI think the first like six month, well, first two months. Anyway, that we did the podcast, there was like 30 to 50 people and you're like, Is all this worth it? All this prep and getting the technology in place and all the rest. So if you focus on what's most important and the reason why is most important, hopefully it gives you momentum to keep going.KevinSo I love that one. Is there another one that you like? Yeah.JulieI think just the beginning of the book that kind of lays out what is content, why do we need it and just kind of a foundation, because it is a word that people throw around. And so some people, when they think of content, they think of social media and some people think of content and they're just thinking renderings and photos on my site.JulieBut it's all of those things and more and I think I'm a very analytical person. I like a list. So in a way, a lot of the beginning of the book was just breaking things down into pieces where even if some of these things you just know from being in your role, it also is seeing it all in a structure of what topics are we going to cover, what mediums are we going to use, you know, photos, videos, whatever.JulieHow are we going to distribute it then? How are we going to analyze it? It just kind of lays it down in a framework that you can start wrapping your arms around because it's just large.KevinYeah, I think chapter two could have been its own like book in a way as well, which is just what topics should we cover? Which I thought you might say that one, but here's, here's my answer anyway. Why? Number two is extremely important and useful, but I wouldn't have picked it either, is the answer really is stop thinking that everything around you is boring or mundane and just relent to the fact that you need to talk about it all.KevinYou need to have content related to everything. So in chapter two starts on page 22, ends on page 46, and has all I mean, the table of contents anyway, alone. There's two and a half pages of things you can talk about. So that's, that's like excuse wiped away. There is no excuse of, well we don't have anything to talk about.KevinWe're just a fill in the blank. We're just a first time home builder and all these people say this to us. Well, I only build 20 luxury homes a year. Well, I only build on your lot. And that's like, stop saying only. It's all interesting to to a certain audience.JulieAnd the reason I included all of those two is because I think we get stuck in one thing, like, Oh, I've done a million walkthroughs of my house and I've done a million testimonials. It's like there's other you can take the same things and take a different angle at them. I think the real magic that comes in all of these topics is when you start combining more than one topic.JulieSo if you want to feature a floor plan, well how about also grab, you know, people who've lived with that floor plan and you're mixing the people, the homeowners and the floor plan. So a lot of it is just like kind of walling all those topics out on the table. So then you can start mixing and matching and instead of having to use your mental capacity to think of those topics, you can start using that creativity to then put together new and unique things to solve your problems and engage customers and all those good things.KevinAnd I think the fact that people go down that habitual path is a clue to actually the right answer with some with some nudging to get out of a rut is like I remember your former employer. There is this period of time where like every I don't know, I seem like every couple of days or once a week there was a Matterport walkthrough with an audio example and you went through a whole bunch of that, that library because you developed a process and a framework and the strategy and a why.KevinAnd once that momentum got going, it was relatively easy to keep it going. And I think that's what I really enjoy about the book, is it kind of unlocks that, Yeah, just do that. But on a on a different tangent from a different perspective or for a different purpose, again, like the same piece of content, the same advertising channel can be used for multiple reasons.KevinAnd I go to my generally least one of my least favorite forms of media in billboards of a billboard can be a complete brand message, or it can be a turn right here. Message the neighborhoods right around the corner. It's the same. It's the same platform, but used for a different purpose. And that changes everything about how you're thinking about it.KevinSame thing when it comes to content. Am I trying to educate someone? Am I trying to motivate someone? Am I trying to just not be boring? Because this is a complex subject and I need to break it into pieces that people want to absorb. I think it's just a fantastic, fantastic resource. Now, I can't remember I asked you this on the podcast or not, but it's worth asking again, when you wrote this, did you envision people going through it from beginning to end first and then using it as a resource to kind of get back around where you need it?KevinBecause it is I would say it's very snackable in that sense of like, again, you're like, I don't have time to read 130 pages.JulieYeah, I really have two ways I think about it being is, number one, somebody who's been in their role for a long time, they know what content is, but they just need that little bit of like inspiration and, you know, to get them on stock, like you said. And that way it would be very good to just grab the pieces you need and flipping through it as you're, you know, you're stuck on something to possibly spark something.JulieThat's one reason I left the whole when somebody was helping me with the formatting, they put that whole huge table of contents in and at first I was going to remove it and then I was like, You know what? It's actually going to be really helpful for somebody because it almost works like an index. It's like an index that the first of the book, because if they are struggling with maybe some storytelling content and they're wanting to get ideas for that, they can go straight to that part to talk more about their people in their company and their culture and all of those things.JulieThen on the other hand, it's also going to be a good resource for somebody comes in new to your department from another industry, and you just need to get them up and running like you're our new social media person. But I've never been in homebuilding. I feel like it also will give those people just a good foundation to read it cover, to cover and just, you know, have a beginning place of this is this is the basics of content and where to start and where to start looking.JulieAnd it just gets them up and going faster. So I think it does more than one thing.KevinYeah, I would agree with that. I as you, as you were just talking, I was remembering the dummies books, the series.JulieYeah.KevinFor Dummies.JulieOh. And it's yellow.KevinAnd it's yellow. So I was like, you know what? This is almost like content marketing for dummies. Not not in, like, the condescending sense of the word, But there were certain topics where I would buy those books. For those of you who, like the other day, someone didn't know the song Ice Ice Baby by Vanilla Ice. So I am constantly reminded of how old I am.KevinThe dummies series was on every topic known to man, and it was kind of like in textbook format, but it tried to be entertaining as much as possible around every subject matter. But there were. There were some of those I would buy like Calculus for Dummies in college that was clearly just like, I need I need a supplemental.KevinLook at that topic. Go read it. Okay, I'm good. It was a reference piece for me. And then there were others where you just from cover to cover. You're like, I just need to start at the beginning and be led all the way through. And the same book could be used either way. So I think that's important. Okay.KevinWhy the name building certainty?JulieWell, I totally ripped that off from Kevin Oakley.KevinHe was giving you a given.JulieYeah, he. He promised he wouldn't sue me for that. So I think it was Summit's a couple of years ago.KevinYou're 29.JulieAnd part of your message was what is marketing? It's building certainty through content. So we were looking at content and marketing from that, from that viewpoint. So then when I start working on a book and started working on title, I just took that for you. And I think right now it is always what content should do. But right now, more than ever in the markets that we've been in is that's what we have to use it for.JulieYeah, it's the basics of like, what do we build, Where do we build it? What does it cost? That's, that's number one. You need to have that. Your website needs to have the basics. That's number one to content. If you don't.KevinThink it's worth, it's worth repeating slightly differently for everyone. Is pricing on your website is content that build certainty in one direction or another. And so even something as mundane as some companies have every price and then a909 for like even that there there needs to be thought put into it. I used to joke with people all the time, you know, when you just when every price change or adjustment this is in 2008 2000 and 2010 and we would publicly change pricing to match market versus promotions like you can't just every price change can't be ten grand or five grand or 15 because well, that clearly communicates to someone paying attention forever, subconsciously as someoneKevinis when, you know, sticks their finger up in the air. I think 10,000 less like why is it always around number round numbers are too convenient in something as complicated as what we do. It's just one. One small example of everything is content that can build certainty.JulieYeah, all the basic stuff. And then just building certainty with with the rest of it. The story building, you know, telling your story, talking about your brand. All of that in the end isn't just to talk about yourself because nobody cares. Nobody cares about your brand and your what they care about is that, you know, you're going to take care of them and that you're going to solve their problems.JulieSo it's looking at all your content from that different angle. Then it's just, you know, I'm going to slap something up there about us. It has to be about the home buyer.KevinAbsolutely. I think like the other day, my brother in law was in town from Sweden and he's he's watching all the cruise ship documentary things on the on Smithsonian Channel. And I saw ads for the first time in a while on television. And it was just every time there was commercial break extra, extra, extra, which if you don't know what extra is, it's just an office chair and it's from all accounts, like I love the chair that I have.KevinIt's fantastic. I have no desire for additional chair. But they talk about this chair in words and in depth that my brother in law was just like, You see this chair? This chair is like the best chair in the world. I go, I mean, it looks like it's cheap materials with a massage and heat function to me and it's chart and they're charging like triple what they should.KevinBut it just goes back to that. The care like that is a lot of times what people are thinking of what they want. Marketing to do is to increase absorption, increase the sales volume of a company. But there are a lot of people listening where your company is not really in that game. Your company's in the business of maximizing revenue per unit sold or margin.KevinIt's a higher end product. And so if you're talking about like if you're can you imagine buying something from what's like the cheapest furniture IKEA. Yeah like well yes an IKEA is unique in that they've really overindexed in the amount of content to help people understand what it is they're getting in a digital format. In particular, they're one of the first to have like air show this thing in your house.KevinBut we can still use IKEA if you are going to buy a sofa from IKEA or a sofa from Pottery Barn or I don't know, Henry Don Like if the amount of written content and imagery and the quality of such is on par, you would never buy it. You know, it's only the the overall and I think that's the other word that I think if I want to suggest book number two is in the series of content is something around the idea of curation because that's I just I think that more and more of that is that's what five chapter five is really about.KevinIt's like, why, why this and not that? And so it's it's both breadth and depth, but also curating it for an intended audience with that intended purpose.JulieYeah, I mean, I think the book is proof that there's plenty of plenty of things to talk about, plenty of ways to do it. It's then taking a step back and looking at what's most important for your home buyer and what's most important for the home builder, for whatever where you are in the in the market. So I think that's what I see with builders.JulieSometimes they're jumping out in front of things, trying to do content before just pausing it. Does that have to be a big, huge thing? Pausing, thinking through messaging, thinking through the final goal. Look at the what is the goal of this content and then working backwards through creating it.KevinAnd I think one of the final like master level things to uncover and understand that sometimes you're creating content as a marketing team that's not for you at all. Meaning it's not for the website, really. It and everything should be there. But I would say a good portion of the content I created in my career prior to coming over to do Convert was creating content specifically for the use of of others in a 1 to 1 interaction framework here.KevinHere is content that helps a salesperson overcome a specific objection as a proof source, as a packaged, curated solution to an objection that they need some help overcoming. It's not, it's not it's almost usually not the broadest possible audience that you can you can reach because it's hard to do that really, really well. And this is where I'm thinking about people like Tilson who have done such a good job, really going narrow and deep in their subject matter to create a really loyal and and devoted audience and what they do.JulieI mean, kind of on that, on that same realm, what I also see is people who create a great piece of content and then it goes out in one specific place for one specific moment. And it's like, why? Like I see this, this is great. Did you send it out in an email? Did you give it to your sales team?JulieIs it somewhere on your website? You know, it's just using those great things. You guys create in more places so more people get eyes on them.KevinYeah, the number of times we still hear Where is this on your website? Oh, it's not. It's just on our YouTube channel or just on on Instagram. And we're like, Huh, What? Yeah, And strange. Still still some challenges to overcome. Awesome. All right. Well, we look forward to giving a copy of this to everyone who's coming to the summit.Kevin350 additional copies there. Julie will be around to sign and engage. And you're going to talk a little bit more about the book as well. So, yeah, this is this is a big one. I I've had now seven people, I think just that I didn't even know that they were buying it. They just send me a picture. Is there a contest going on that I don't know?KevinWhy are people sending me pictures of them holding your book? Then maybe they maybe they need your number. So they're like, Look, I got it. This is awesome. Like, great. Tell you.JulieThey're excited.KevinYeah, yeah, yeah. That's fantastic. All right, well, thank you from the industry for for spend all the time and energy to put this together We need it.JulieYeah. Thank you. And most of all, as I was writing it, really, the only goal was to add some value for it to be something that you guys could use and be homebuilder specific. I've read a ton of marketing books and content books. It's like, Well, that's cool, but doesn't really fit. So really, that's all it's for is just for, for you all to get some, get some good ideas out of it.KevinYeah. So we can't wait to see all the stuff that people make. Hmm. Yes. Friendly kick in the tush. Mm hmm. On the ball.JulieNo excuse.KevinAll right, Awesome. Go get your copy and link in the show notes. Tell us how you're using it as well.

Windsor became the official surname of the British Royal family on 17th July 1917, when King George V issued a proclamation declaring that “The Name of Windsor is to be borne by His Royal House and Family and Relinquishing the Use of All German Titles and Dignities.” The decision to change the family name came amid strong anti-German feeling following air raids over London, and in particular the bombing of a school in the East End by Gotha bombers - by coincidence, the same name as the royal family. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly discover who was responsible for picking ‘Windsor' as the family's new name; uncover the Royal Albert Hall's flawed response to the onset of World War One; and reveal the REAL Royal surname… Further Reading: • ‘British royal family change their name to Windsor' (The Guardian, 1917): https://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/from-the-archive-blog/2017/jul/17/british-royal-family-windsor-name-change-1917 • ‘Jeremy Paxman: A hundred years of Windsors but still the Queen is partly German (FT, 2017): https://www.ft.com/content/b80a9dde-f1f0-11e6-95ee-f14e55513608 • ‘'The British Royal Family Needed to Seem Less German During WWI' (Smithsonian Channel, 2019): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9ZaOlJajows #Royals #WW1 #Germany  Love the show?

It is Black Maternal Health Week, and this week's episode provides context and value-based solutioning on how to address the alarming rise of maternal mortality in the U.S. We have horrifically poor maternal health outcomes in the African American population of our country, and it is directly attributable to a flawed design of our healthcare system juxtaposed with the presence of longstanding and systemic institutional racism. If there ever was an opportunity for improving health equity through value-based care, it is with this moral imperative to ensure the fundamental human right to have a safe and evidence-based childbirth that optimizes the chance of survival. On this week's podcast, you are going to hear from one of the leading voices in health equity, reproductive justice, and value-based maternal health. Our guest is Dr. Neel Shah, the Chief Medical Officer of Maven Clinic, the world's largest virtual clinic for family health care. He is also a visiting scientist at Harvard Medical School where he previously served as a professor of obstetrics, gynecology and reproductive biology. Dr. Shah has been recognized with the Franklin Delano Roosevelt Humanitarian of the Year Award from the March of Dimes for his impact on maternal health in the United States. He is featured in the films Aftershock, which won the Special Jury Prize for Impact at the 2022 Sundance Film Festival, and The Color of Care from the Smithsonian Channel and Executive Producer Oprah Winfrey. As a physician-scientist, Dr. Shah has written landmark academic papers on maternal health and health care policy, and contributed to four books, including as senior author of Understanding Value-Based Healthcare. He is listed among the "40 smartest people in health care" by the Becker's Hospital Review, and he currently serves on the advisory board of the National Institutes of Health, Office of Women's Health Research. In this podcast, we discuss a special documentary that Dr. Shah contributed to called “Aftershock”. This inspiring film on black maternal health equity turns pain into power and should be watched by all who strive to make a positive change in American healthcare.  Join us on April 12th, for a screening of the Aftershock documentary and a discussion with other attendees.   This podcast is dedicated to Shamony Gibson, Amber Rose Isaac, Kira Johnson, Maria Corona, Sha-Asia Semple, Cordielle Street, and the thousands of women who have lost their lives in the United States maternal health system.

Aviator Charles Lindbergh (‘The Lone Eagle') was a household name when his 20 month-old son, Charlie Jr (dubbed ‘The Eaglet') vanished from his nursery on 1st March, 1932, sparking a nationwide media frenzy. The kidnappers left a ransom note demanding $50,000. After a further 12 exchanges of correspondence, the Lindberghs were told their son was onboard a boat called Nellie: a boat which was never found. At his sensational trial, immigrant Bruno Richard Hauptmann pleaded not guilty, but was convicted of murder in the first degree and sentenced to the electric chair. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain how the Police matched Hauptmann to the abduction; reveal how Al Capone got caught up in the crisis; and ask where all the forensic botanists have gone…  Further Reading: • ‘The Tragic Story Of The Lindbergh Baby Kidnapping' (All Thats Interesting, 2021): https://allthatsinteresting.com/lindbergh-baby-kidnapping • ‘60 Years Later, Doubt Clings to Lindbergh Baby Kidnaping Case' (Los Angeles Times, 1992): https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1992-02-09-mn-3355-story.html • ‘How They Caught the Lindbergh Baby's Kidnapper' (Smithsonian Channel, 2013): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FpwduHFPqHk #30s #Crime #Mystery Love the show?

Smithsonian Channel™ premieres the new two-hour documentary Cassius X: Becoming Aliwhich examines the transformation of Cassius Clay into international boxing icon and activist, Muhammad Ali, as he risks everything for his new religion while approaching the biggest fight of his life.The revealing documentary begins in 1959 when the young boxer, Cassius Clay, begins his journey towards achieving his lifelong dream of becoming World Heavyweight Champion while, at the same time, embarking on a secret spiritual journey. The film explores the next five years in which Clay evolves as both a boxer and a global star while also risking everything – his career, public persona, family and the love of his pop-star girlfriend – for both a new religion and new name.

Before Yuri Gagarin, before Alan Shepard… a chimp called Ham was blasted into space for six-and-a-half minutes of weightlessness on 31st January, 1961. He successfully returned to Earth without serious physical injury, albeit over 100 miles away from NASA's intended splashdown location. Travelling at 5,857 m.p.h, Ham was seated in a special chair called a ‘biopack', which administered electric shocks to the soles of his feet if he failed to complete basic tasks in orbit. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly consider how Ham's schooling had striking parallels with the training undertaken by human astronauts; reveal just how much of him is actually ‘buried' at the International Space Hall of Fame; and explain the fate of the SECOND chimp in space, Enos, who wasn't quite so lucky…  CONTENT WARNING: animal cruelty, animal experimentation and dissection Further Reading: • Meet Ham The Chimp, The Animal Astronaut Who Changed History (All That's Interesting, 2021): https://allthatsinteresting.com/ham-the-chimp • ‘Ham the astrochimp: hero or victim?'

The Gambrell-Fowler family pose for a portrait. From left are Keith Gambrell, Gary Fowler, Cheryl Fowler, Troy Fowler, and Paris Fowler.                   Oprah Winfrey began her crusade to change the healthcare system when COVID-19 elevated our national awareness of health inequities in our country – a result of exacerbated health outcomes triggered by coronavirus infection across racial lines and the longstanding preexisting disparities that were already there. She launched The Color of Care education  campaign to prepare current and future doctors, nurses and medical professionals to play an active role in combating systemic racism in the delivery of healthcare, as well as provide others with the necessary tools to advocate for and empower patients who experience these inequities. The Color of Care movement for more equitable healthcare in America began when Oprah Winfrey was inspired to take action following the death of Gary Fowler. In this episode, we discuss the tragic and unnecessary death of Gary Fowler inflicted by a grossly negligent and racist healthcare system.  Multiple hospitals have the blood of Mr. Fowler on their hands; however, this is a story of hope in that his death started a national campaign for health equity. Oprah says the following about the death of Mr. Gary Fowler: “I read a story that haunted me…the story of the Fowler family. When Mr. Fowler became ill, three different hospitals turned him away. He went home, sat in his recliner, and died. I wondered how many different Gary Fowlers there are out there. What if I told you the biggest indicator of how long you are going to live is your zip code? What if access to lifesaving care for somebody that you love depended on the color of their skin? The COVID pandemic exposed a tragic divide in our healthcare system. We now need to stand up, and we need to do something about it. We need to change an entire system. This is something you start now! Together we can make it better.” The story of Gary Fowler's death is the focal point of the recent documentary, The Color of Care that premiered on the Smithsonian Channel earlier this summer. From executive producer, Oprah Winfrey, this new documentary chronicles how people of color suffer from systemically substandard healthcare in the United States and how COVID-19 exposed the tragic consequences of this inequity.  The Color of Care documentary traces the origins of racial health disparities to practices that began during slavery in the U.S. and continue today. Using moving testimony from those who lost loved ones to COVID-19 and frontline medical workers in overwhelmed hospitals, it interweaves expert interviews and powerful data to expose the devastating toll of embedded racism in our healthcare system. The Color of Care is produced by Harpo Productions with executive producers Oprah Winfrey, Terry Wood, and Catherine Cyr. The film is directed by OSCAR®-nominated and Emmy® award-winning director Yance Ford and produced by Kate Bolger and Yance Ford. After listening to this podcast, I urge you to watch the Color of Care to understand how the system was built, why it doesn't work for everyone, and how together we can make it better!

Summary Seth Abramovitch (Twitter; LinkedIn) joins Andrew (Twitter; LinkedIn) to discuss the British war-hero who spied on behalf of the Japanese during Hollywood's Golden Age. This is a story-and-a-half, by jingo!  What You'll Learn Intelligence How a British war-hero became a spy for the other side Japanese espionage in Tinseltown  How the story involves Boris Karloff, Charlie Chaplin and Yoko Ono's father  The spy ring's activities before and after Pearl Harbor Reflections Playing the game for yourself vs. for a country or a cause Hubris & Nemesis  And much, much more… Episode Notes Squadron Leader Frederick Rutland, AM, DSC and Bar, was the first person to fly a seaplane from a ship in history. He was also the first man to spot the German fleet from his seaplane, thereby precipitating the largest naval battle of the First World War, the Battle of Jutland.  After leaving the military because of indiscretions with a fellow officer's wife, Rutland tries to live an ordinary vanilla life, but still craves his action-packed days of old…ultimately, he is approached by the Japanese to teach aviation and to spy on their behalf, which leads him to relocate to LA during the Golden Age of Hollywood.  To discuss this doozy of a story, I am joined by Seth Abramovitch from the Hollywood Reporter – i.e., the definitive interpretive voice of the entertainment industry – where he has worked for ten years.  And… There are some incredible Hollywood movies from the interwar period, capturing some of the tension and suspicion of the era, as well as the faint drumbeat of approaching war. Hitchcock alone had, The Man Who Knew Too Much (1934), The 39 Steps (1935), Sabotage (1936), and Foreign Correspondent (1940). Major stars of the era such as Marlene Dietrich, Great Garbo, and Madelaine Carroll helped solidify the spy genre with movies such as Dishonored (1931), Mata Hari (1931), and I Was a Spy (1933). Don't forget Fritz Lang's Spione (1928), which has been called a, “marvel of narrative economy in montage.”  Quote of the Week "At the very bottom of the list, it would be any kind of allegiance to any flag, because he's quick to offer to turn on Japan when push comes to shove at the very end of the whole story. I don't think he was doing it for any kind of nationalism or political, viewpoint. I think if anything he was apolitical." – Seth Abramovitch.

Natchitoches, Louisiana is known for its quaint architecture, plus one building that is hip and cutting edge. The building, which now houses the Louisiana Sports Hall of Fame and the Northwest Louisiana History Museum, is so much of a discussion in the architecture world that it was featured on “How Did They Build That?” – a globe-trotting series on the Smithsonian Channel. Crowley native/New Orleans and New York resident architect Victor “Trey” Trahan joins Errol Laborde, executive editor of Louisiana Life, along with podcast producer Kelly Massicot to talk about the ideas and problem-solving that allowed this building to rise. Oh yes, we will also hear about the Louisiana Superdome, where Trahan is involved with the refurbishing.

John Dillinger, infamous 1930s gangster, jail breaker, bank robber and brawler, earned himself a new title on 22nd June, 1934 - when he became the FBI's first ever ‘Public Enemy Number One'. The authorities were intent on disabusing Americans of their love affair with the ‘Robin Hood'-style gangsters as portrayed in the movies. But the new title didn't dissuade Dillinger's admirers from continuing to idolise his illegal pursuits. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly trace Dillinger's career from teenage tearaway to the world's most-hunted fugitive; explain how he used his preposterous ‘wooden gun' to escape from one of the USA's most ‘inescapable' prisons; and reveal how, decades after his death, his relatives are still trying to claim his honour…  Further Reading: • John Dillinger - Public Enemy No. 1 (ThoughtCo, 2020): https://www.thoughtco.com/john-dillinger-public-enemy-no-1-104610 • ‘Retouching Dillinger's Reputation' (The New York Times, 2009): https://www.nytimes.com/slideshow/2009/03/19/arts/20090319-dlillinger-slideshow_index/s/20090319-dlillinger-slideshow_slide6.html • ‘How John Dillinger Went from Pesky Thief to Public Enemy No. 1' (Smithsonian Channel, 2015): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Boubgkq-6M But wait - there's more!
