On this week's show we look at our favorite TV Series Finales from Network and Cable TV. We also read your emails and take a look at the week's news. News: TCL Will Add Dolby Atmos FlexConnect to QD-Mini LED TVs Apple's smart home hub could reportedly make its debut later this year YouTube leads US TV viewing for 3rd consecutive month Top Series Finales of Network/Cable TV Shows Here is a rundown of our favorite TV Series Finales. What are your favorites? M*A*S*H – "Goodbye, Farewell and Amen" (CBS, February 28, 1983) This 2.5-hour finale remains the highest-rated scripted TV episode in U.S. history, with a 72% audience share. It masterfully blended comedy and drama, reflecting the show's tone. The Korean War ends, and the 4077th unit disbands, with emotional farewells like Hawkeye's helicopter spotting B.J.'s "GOODBYE" in stones. The Sopranos - “Made in America” (HBO, June 10, 2007) The final episode leaves viewers with a cliffhanger that remains open to interpretation. Tony Soprano is at a diner with his family when the screen cuts to black as a suspicious-looking man glances at him. The ending doesn't explicitly confirm whether Tony is killed, but rather leaves the audience to wonder if he will continue to live under the threat of violence inherent to his mob life. The episode's iconic music, Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'," plays in the background, adding to the tension and suspense. The Mary Tyler Moore Show – "The Last Show" (CBS, March 19, 1977) When WJM-TV's new owner fires the entire newsroom except the incompetent Ted Baxter, the team shares a tearful group hug, and Mary delivers a poignant monologue. Her final act of turning off the studio lights became an iconic TV trope. Snowfall - “The Struggle” (FX, April 19, 2023) The Snowfall saga chronicled the origins and spread of crack cocaine in South Central and how it ultimately threw Los Angeles neighbourhoods into chaos. Anti-hero Franklin Saint, who we first met on a bright summer day full of promise and big dreams, ended the series on that same street hopeless, delusional and destitute. He was last seen wandering away from the house he bought for his mother - his final possession - as officers from the L.A. Sheriff's Department swooped in to evict him over unpaid property taxes. Newhart – "The Last Newhart" (CBS, May 21, 1990) This finale is legendary for its meta twist. After eight seasons of running a Vermont inn, Dick Loudon (Bob Newhart) is hit by a golf ball and wakes up as Dr. Bob Hartley from The Bob Newhart Show (1972–1978), next to his wife Emily (Suzanne Pleshette), revealing the entire series was a dream. The Office - “Finale” (NBC, May 16, 2013) One year later, Dunder Mifflin employees past and present reunite for a panel discussion about the documentary and to attend Dwight and Angela's wedding.The episode features cameos and wraps up several character storylines, with characters attending the wedding and reflecting on their lives and experience. Pretty much everyone gets a happy ending - “That's what she said.” Asian Jim - The Office US Cheers – "One for the Road" (NBC, May 20, 1993) Watched by over 80 million viewers, this 98-minute finale wrapped up the Sam-Diane romance with honesty. Diane (Shelley Long) returns, but instead of a fairy-tale ending, Sam chooses his bar—his true love—over rekindling their relationship. The final line, “Sorry, we're closed,” delivered to a late-night customer, symbolizes the show's end. Justified - “The Promise” (FX, April 14, 2015) After five seasons of rivalry and dare we say friendship, Justified's sixth and final season saw Deputy U.S. Marshal Raylan Givens put his "nemesis" Boyd Crowder behind bars. But that isn't what made the finale so incredible. Aside from giving just about every character a bit of closure, there was one scene that we'll never forget: Raylan sitting across from Boyd in prison as he lies about Ava's death and then, when asked why he traveled long and far to deliver the news in person, he finally admitted the one thing viewers have always known - that Boyd isn't his enemy. Goggins then perfectly delivered the line that said everything about their relationship: "We dug coal together." The Big Bang Theory – "The Stockholm Syndrome" (CBS, May 16, 2019) Sheldon and Amy's Nobel win, paired with his heartfelt tribute to his friends, closed the sitcom with sentimentality and growth, though some felt it was overly tidy Friends – "The Last One" (NBC, May 6, 2004) With 52.5 million viewers, this finale delivered closure for the six friends' arcs. Monica and Chandler move to the suburbs with their twins, Ross and Rachel reunite, and the group leaves Monica's apartment for the last time. It balanced humor, nostalgia, and emotional payoff without overstaying its welcome. The Good Place – "Whenever You're Ready" (NBC, January 30, 2020) This philosophical comedy concluded with the characters choosing when to leave their afterlife, reflecting the show's themes of morality and growth. Emotional farewells, especially Eleanor's influence on Chidi, resonated deeply, set against a hopeful yet bittersweet tone. There is a really good series twist at the end of season one as well. Which brings up the concept of season ending cliffhangers. Maybe for another show!
Harvey Brownstone conducts an in-depth interview with Joel Thurm, Casting Director, Author, “Sex, Drugs and Pilot Season: Confessions of a Casting Director” About Harvey's guest: Today's guest, Joel Thurm, is a show business veteran whose name you may not know, but whose work you have most definitely seen and loved. For over 40 years, he was one of the most sought-after, powerful and respected casting directors in Hollywood. Starting in the early 70's, as a casting director at CBS, then casting TV shows for superstar producer Aaron Spelling, then becoming Senior Vice President of Talent and Casting at NBC for 10 years, and also serving as Vice President of Television Talent at Paramount Studios, our guest helped create entertainment that has brought countless hours of joy to millions of people around the world. On the big screen, he was responsible for casting 3 mega-hit movies: “Grease”, “The Rocky Horror Picture Show” and “Airplane”. And in the world of television, he cast dozens of hugely popular TV series including “Taxi”, “Fantasy Island”, “The Bob Newhart Show”, “Starsky & Hutch”, “Charlie's Angels”, “Cheers”, “Miami Vice”, “The Golden Girls”, “Seinfeld”, “L.A. Law”, “Hill Street Blues”, “Night Court” and believe me, I'm just scratching the surface. He produced and cast the Emmy award winning TV movie, “The Boy in the Plastic Bubble” starring John Travolta, as well as the 5-time Emmy award winning miniseries, “The Lives of Benjamin Franklin”, starring Melvyn Douglas and Michael Learned, and the Emmy award winning TV movie “The Gathering” starring Ed Asner and Maureen Stapleton, as well as the 1988 TV remake of “Inherit the Wind” starring Kirk Douglas and Jason Robards, which won 3 Emmy awards. And my favourite of all his TV movies is “An Early Frost”, starring Gena Rowlands and Ben Gazzara, which was the first movie about AIDS, winning 4 Emmy awards. He was responsible for launching the careers of countless stars including Nick Nolte, John Ritter, David Hasselhoff, Amy Irving, James Woods, Lorenzo Lamas, Danny DeVito, Christina Hendricks and dozens more. And get this: HE was the one who cast Ted Danson in “Cheers”, and he was the one who cast the wonderful Georgia Engel to play Ted Baxter's wife in “The Mary Tyler Moore Show”. And now, he's written a fascinating, entertaining and insightful memoir entitled, “Sex, Drugs and Pilot Season: Confessions of a Casting Director”.

EPISODE 197: COUNTDOWN WITH KEITH OLBERMANN A-Block (1:44) SPECIAL COMMENT: The United States of America is under attack by armed right-wing terrorists. The Texas Mall Shooter and every other one bent on killing the enemies living in their own mind might as well be Suicide Bombers, might as well be ISIS. The receipts on the Texas Mall Shooter are a mile long; he was a right wing media addict, he dedicated a hate-filled online rant to the terrorist “Libs Of Tik Tok” twitter account, he posted screenshots from the right-wing troll Tim Pool, a swastika tattoo covered those parts of his body not covered by an SS tattoo, he signed one comment with the name Adolf Hitler, he repeatedly posed in NAZI uniforms, he used a meme that suggested there were only two routes for Latino children: identify as black or become a white supremacist, and his pedigree as a right-wing, MAGA-inspired, neo-Nazi, perpetrator of stochastic terrorism, fueled by every component of Donald Trump and his coalition of hate, could not possibly be more easily discovered, more rapidly verified, more thoroughly self-convicting… and the right completely denies any of it is true. I do not know what we do about the people in a society who deny any fact that does not serve them. Only once before was the nation faced with a third or more of its citizens believing in things that were did not true and did not exist, and that was before and during the Civil War. It sounds like madness to ask WHEN we need to consider an Executive Order declaring a State of National Emergency about right-wing terrorism but look at Allen, Texas and imagine the dozens and hundreds and thousands of Mauricio Garcias out there, becoming literally connected to the Proud Boys and a just-slightly-more-evil version of CPAC or MAGA or another Trump front group and then ask yourself what other means EXIST for us to stop a pervasive nation-wide violent suicidal reality-denying cult that looks ahead to November 5th, 2024, and sees opportunity. B-Block (15:25) THE WORST PERSONS IN THE WORLD: Tucker Carlson's first heavy-hitter, Conservative icon ally in his newly-launched war against Fox is BRETT FAVRE? Was he wearing pants? Junior Trump has never heard of Nick Fuentes? MSNBC took WHOSE money? (18:27) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS: One of the great New York newscasters, John Roland, has died at the age of 81. By itself, his career is worthy of remembrance. But to me he in part defines my youth: when I was 19 I was an intern in his newsroom, as I witnessed for the first time the bloody transition from a mandarin of anchors, Bill Jorgensen, to Roland. It's an amazing story from an amazing newscast best remembered for the words with which it began: It's 10 PM. Do you know where your children are? C-Block (37:30) POSTSCRIPTS TO THE NEWS, PART 2: The thing is, to get my one college credit for spending the summer of 1978 working on Channel 5's "The 10 O'Clock News" and a half-hour nightly prototype of SportsCenter called "SportsPage" (with the man who a year later would anchor the first-ever episode OF SportsCenter), I had to write a very long, very blunt paper on my experience. I thought only my supervisor at Channel 5 and my professor would see it. Then, she liked it so much she made 100 copies and distributed it to her staff. Suddenly everybody knew which reporter all the producers called "Ted Baxter" and which talent drank so much that he'd be dead within five years. I still have the paper: I'll read you the highlights.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Today on the Rarified Heir Podcast, we talk to Matt Asner, son of seven-time Emmy winner, actor Ed Asner. Of course, most of us know Ed Asner as Lou Grant from The Mary Tyler Moore Show as well as the dramatic series Lou Grant that followed. But as Matt told us on this episode, Ed Asner was generational. To some, it was his seventies and eighties television work that made an impact. To others, it might be his work (and his voice) from a host of animated series in the 90s from Batman or Superman or Spider Man. Some know him as Santa in the Christmas classic Elf. Others know him as Carl Fredricksen in Pixar's Up. Still others know him as the bad guy from the sixties film They Call Me Mr.Tibbs and even others from mini-series like Roots and Rich Man, Poor Man. Regardless of how you know the gruff but lovable actor, Ed Asner was known as a consummate professional, head of the Screen Actors Guild, tireless activist for a variety of causes, and Matt tells us all about them on the latest episode. We also get to hear about Gavin MacLeod's bubble gum obsession, “Uncle” Ted Knight, The Compass Players who Ed was a member of that birthed Second City, Paul Newman & Fort Apache The Bronx, death threats as well as family LA haunts like Art's Deli, Madam Wong's West and The Ed Asner Family Center. The Center promotes self-confidence, balance and wellness in differently-abled individuals and their families. And it's all next on the Rarified Heir Podcast. Take a listen. Oh Mr. Grant!

Again and again, we learn the secret to stroke recovery is repetition. It's about doing the same movement or behavior again and again -- tens of thousands of times. In a typical session with an OT or PT, a patient might do the same exercise 30-60 times, which is a good start. But what if a therapist could crank that up to 1,000 reps an hour, or one every four seconds? Now you've got some interesting possibilities for recovery. Bionik, Inc makes devices and software that do just that. This week I talk with CEO Rich Russo about the InMotion Hand and InMotion Arm devices and how they work in conjunction with a therapist to help patients recover. Listen to the conversation here or in your favorite podcast app. If you don't see the media player below, visit http://strokecast.com/Bionik Click here for a machine-generated transcript Who is Rich Russo? From the Bionik website: Mr. Russo Jr. has over 15 years of finance and accounting leadership experience and is a Certified Public Accountant. From March 2017 through November 2020, Mr. Russo was the Vice President of Finance and United States Chief Financial Officer, of IcarbonX, a privately held digital health management company specialized in artificial intelligence and health data, and a predecessor PatientsLikeMe. While there, he was responsible for, among other things, the merger of three companies, fundraising, and the ultimate dissolution of certain affiliated companies. From 2007-2016, Mr. Russo held various key leadership roles for Nasdaq-listed companies in life sciences, pharmaceutical and medical device industries. From September 2015 to October 2016, he served as Corporate Controller for Pieris Pharmaceuticals, Inc., a clinical stage biotechnology company, and prior to that, he had roles at Juniper Pharmaceuticals, a woman's health company focused on developing therapeutics, and Cynosure, a medical device company focused on aesthetic treatment systems. In each of these roles, Mr. Russo was responsible for all finance activities and SEC reporting, including partnering closely with management to ensure effective and efficient financial procedures throughout the organizations. Mr. Russo started his career in 2005, where he served as an auditor at Pricewaterhouse Coopers in the assurance group. Mr. Russo is a graduate of Bridgewater State University in Bridgewater, MA, where he graduated from a dual degree program, receiving his Bachelor of Science in Accounting and his Masters in Management and Accounting. Other Inpatient Solutions The Bionik system is one for hospitals and rehab units. The rapid reps help in partnership with the rehab professional. In that respect, it's similar to devices from Restorative Therapies. I talked with the team at Restorative Therapies in episode 92. You can find that episode here. The key difference is that Restorative Therapies uses Functional Electric Stimulation (or FES) to activate a patients muscles. The Bionik solutions provide physical assistance to help the patient complete motions. They are different ways to stimulate the brain, increase repetitions, and drive the neuroplasticity that is so key to recovery. They are also both intended for use in a hospital or rehab facility with the help of a trained therapist. The other devices I talk about often, like those from sponsor Motus Nova and previous guests with Neofect and Racoon Recovery are for at home use, as a supplement to therapy provided at a medical facility, or as an alternative when those services are not available, for whatever reason. You can learn more about those devices by clicking the links on their names above or from the link table at the bottom of this post. The point of all these solutions is the same -- drive patient recovery through increased movement and repetitions to neureoplastically teach to brain how to access that limb once again. Hack of the Week Wear comfy socks. It's such a simple thing, but the right socks can make a big difference in how you feel. The right socks can wrap your feet well and wick away perspiration. They can protect your foot from rubbing against an AFO or the heel of your shoe. The wrong socks will keep you too hot or too cold. The wrong size will leave you with an uncomfortable wrinkle you walk on all day. If they're too slippery, you've got an additional safety hazard to contend with. The hospital socks they gave me in the hospital were terrible. The had the no slip dots, which was great, but they kept falling down and rotating around my foot. Part if it was they were likely the cheapest that met minimum standards. The other part is that I have large feet for my height (size 12). So my partner ordered me better hospital socks from Amazon,* which helped. For air travel after stroke, I have made a change to my wardrobe. I now wear knee-high compression socks.* They do a good job of preventing swelling in my feet and legs during long flights. And that helps to prevent DVT or deep vein thrombosis, which is where a clot forms in the legs and causes problems there, or breaks loose and lodges elsewhere in the body. That's how Ted Baxter had his stroke. I talked with Ted back in Episode 34. Relatively speaking, good socks are still fairly cheap. Try different ones until you find the socks that are best for your feet and life style. Good socks are worth it. Links Where do we go from here?

Some 45 years ago, in 1976, I saw an episode of a sitcom that I still remember today. It was an episode in the seventh and final season of The Mary Tyler Moore Show entitled “Ted's Change of Heart.” Ted Baxter, the pompous news anchor played by Ted Knight, has a mild heart attack in the middle of delivering the evening news. After a brief stay in the hospital, he is restored to full health, a rephuah shelaimah, as we would say. But while he emerges from his cardiac incident healthy and whole, he is not the same person. The trauma changed him. He is filled with an acute sense of wonder and gratitude for blessings that he had never noticed before.
From 1970 to 1977 the Mary Tyler Moore Show received 67 Emmy nominations and won 29. Ted Knight was an American actor and voice artist best known for playing the vain and untalented Ted Baxter on the show. He was also very proud of his Polish ancestry. He’ll pronounce his real Polish name for us. We talked about some of his earlier accomplishments including an Emmy and his criticism of the Emmy Awards. He did his impression of Lowell Thomas and he’ll also throw in some lines from Ted Baxter.

Ted was a super successful financial consultant for 22 years and built a financial services practice in Tokyo from scratch. He talks about the moments leading up to his stroke and what the experience itself was like. He talks about how he only had the capability to speak about 1,000 words in his first year post stroke when comparatively 4 year olds can speak around 4,000 words. He talked about how he was able to continue to bounce back from 3 seizures during the recovery process, about how working out, playing golf, boxing, and tying his arm behind his back with a rope were all important aspect of his recovery process. _____ Learn about: 6:23 -8:57 : What happened the day of the stroke 12:06 - 12:24: "I’m gonna show them that I’ll be back” 16:42 - 18:11: Relearning to walk 21:53 - 23:06: Seizures + Boxing - not about how hard of a hit you can give but how many you can take and still move forward 26:34 - 28:14: Five day streak jogging, fluency.

191020 Ted Baxter - Relentless by Richard Dugan
Joining us is Ted W. Baxter, a former financial powerhouse, a massive stroke survivor and the author of his book, "Relentless". Ted Baxter is talking about his book and sharing with us his experience of determination and hope as he recovered from his massive stroke. The post Living Life after a Stroke with Ted W. Baxter appeared first on Vicki Doe Fitness.
What is #NeuroPsychology? And what do the fewer than 1,000 board-certified #Neuropsychologist in the US do for #StrokeSurvivors? I talk about that and more with author of the Interactive Stroke Recovery Guide, Dr. Karen Sullivan. I think Dr. Sullivan and I first connected through Instagram. Her colorful graphics and logos really pop. Dr. Karen D. Sullivan launched a series of Facebook Live videos aimed at helping stroke and brain injury survivors understand their situation better. From there she went on to write a book, the Interactive Stroke Recovery Guide. She sent me a copy to read before our conversation. Unlike many stroke books, this is more of a work book. It's meant to be written in. It lets survivors keep track of the details of their strokes, their goals for recovery, their symptoms, etc. It's meant to be cut up, with reminders for motivation and thank you cards to give out. This is no pristine library book. Bio Karen D. Sullivan, PhD, ABPP, is the creator of the I CARE FOR YOUR BRAIN program. She is one of only 24 providers in North Carolina who is Board Certified in Clinical Neuropsychology by the American Board of Professional Psychology. Dr. Sullivan founded a private practice called Pinehurst Neuropsychology Brain & Memory Clinic in November 2013. Prior to establishing her practice, Dr. Sullivan was an Assistant Professor at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill’s School of Medicine in the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation Department. She received her doctoral degree at Boston University in 2009 and completed her internship and post-doctoral fellowship in Clinical Neuropsychology at the VA Boston Healthcare System through Harvard Medical School and the Boston University School of Medicine in 2010. Dr. Sullivan has extensive training in clinical issues unique to older adults. Prior to her formal education, she worked as caregiver, nursing assistant, therapeutic companion, activities director and co-director of an adult day health program. Competition with Strokecast? Nonsense! If you want to learn more about Dr. Sullivan's fascinating and nontraditional childhood and Bon Jovi connection, listen to episode 65 of the NeuroNerds podcast. You may remember the NeuroNerds from episode 65 of this show when I talked with Joe Borges. And this brings up another important point -- don't be afraid to tell your story, just because you think everybody has already told there's. Joe and his cohost Lauren started the NeuroNerds podcast a couple weeks after a I started Strokecast, though we didn't know it at the time. But we're not competitors -- we're all colleagues and Brain Buddies. Each show is different and brings something different to the community. The interview that Joe did with Dr. Sullivan is fantastic -- and it's very different than the conversation you just heard between me and Dr. Sullivan. Joe and I have both interviewed Sarah, Tamsen, and Angie -- the Three Stromies -- about their efforts to share stories and bring value to the stroke survivor community. And those conversation are all different. Christine Lee and Ted Baxter have both written stroke memoirs and been guests on the show. Those books and conversations are all different. And they're different from the books by Dr. Jill Bolte Taylor or Allison Shapiro. And they're different from the books and stories you'll hear about in the coming weeks. If you want to tell your story, don't think there are already too many stroke podcasts, blogs, YouTube channels, or books. None of them have you -- your unique perspective and your unique history. Go out and do it. And if you do, let me know! I want to check it out and share it with the audience. Hack of the Week Visualize the things you want to do. The brain splits up functions into different parts. Even if one part is damaged, the other parts of the chain still work, so don't let them off the hook. If you can't move your arm yet, visualize moving it. Imagine lifting your arm. Close your eyes and imagine your fingers opening and closing. Do this a lot. What your doing is allowing the working parts of the brain to send data to, through, and around the damaged parts of the brain. This can help new connections grow and help restore function. One reason our therapists move our limbs, or that we use eStim as part of rehab is to send signals back to the brain about how to move. If you combine moving the limbs with visualization, it's like building the transcontinental railroad in the US in the 19th century. One team starts in the east and builds west; the other team starts in the west and builds east. Eventually the teams met up and build the connection that transformed the western United States, and celebrated by driving a golden spike into the tracks. That's where recovery happens.

When most stroke survivors think about death, it's about how we came close. I like to say my own blood tried to kill me -- and failed. For today's guest, it mean something else. Death, and specifically homicide fueled his career as a writer before he had his stroke. I met Paul Sanders through the Seattle Young Adult Stroke Survivors group. A week after he finished his most recent book, Paul suffered a severe stroke while under anesthesia for a different surgical procedure. The hospital blamed the medication and sent him home. It wasn't until a wellness check by the police several days later that Paul finally got treatment. Paul's books tell the true stories of some of the deadliest murders in recent years. Now, the combination of aphasia, apraxia of speech, and short term memory loss means Paul has put his career on hold until he is once again able to write books. Bio Paul Sanders writes True Crime from a juror’s perspective. His story began in 2014, when he was called to serve as a death penalty juror in the Hammer Killing Trial of Marissa DeVault. At the completion of the trial, he wrote his first True Crime book, Brain Damage: A Juror’s Tale. Since then, Paul has gone on to write a further two True Crime books on some of the most spectacular trials in US history, Why Not Kill Her: A Juror’s Perspective – The Jodi Arias Death Penalty Retrial and Banquet of Consequences: A Juror’s Plight – The Carnation Murders Trial of Michele Anderson. Why Not Kill Her, along with Shanna Hogan’s book, Picture Perfect: The Jodi Arias Story, has become one of the most recommended books on the subject and was publicly endorsed by the jury foreperson. Paul’s first two books were published on Amazon and this helped to build a platform of thousands of followers who are now eagerly awaiting the release of his latest work. Paul has been a guest on True Crime Radio, Trial Talk Live, Court Chatter, HLN and Fox. He has also been featured on NBC Oxygen’s, “Snapped,” as well as I.D. Discovery’s, “Scorned,” where he represented himself as a former juror. He has recently completed two episodes on Investigation Discovery's "Deadly Sins". Authors of August This month (August, 2019) I am featuring authors connected to the stroke community. Paul kicks it off as an author from before his stroke. Next week, we'll hear from Dr. Karen Sullivan who will talk about her stroke recovery workbook and the field of neuropsychology. And there's more to come after that. I've talked with other authors on the show. Christine Lee, Pete Smith, Dr. Kimberly Brown, Dr. Kate Lorig, and Ted Baxter have all shared their thoughts with us. You can find those episodes at http://Strokecast.com/Authors. I have a weakness and fondness for books. I always have. My personal library has more than 1,000 entries lining the walls of my apartment. I can lose hours wandering around a book store. My reading has slowed down since the stroke. It turns out reading a book quickly is generally a 2-handed activity. Managing books 1-handed adds a level of complication to turning pages. It's definitely do-able, but like many things after a stroke, it takes more energy and planning. A Kindle that gets books for free from the library does help. Other survivors have no trouble holding a book or turning the pages. But post stroke cognitive and memory challenges can make reading and retaining information more difficult. Still, I'm not about to let that stop me from celebrating the authors who are part of our community. And the lesson from Paul's story is that if you have a book in you, start writing today. You may not have the chance tomorrow.

And we're back! After what felt like forever, but was really seven months, we are back! Unfortunately, life just got in the way at the tail end of last year and the beginning of this one, so we had to take a bit of a personal leave of absence. But now we're back with a missing episode! Back in November it turned out we were missing episode 9. Something went wrong with the recording, and more than half of it was just gone. So, now we've gone back and re-recorded that episode for you! Episode 9 "And Now, Sitting In For Ted Baxter" exposes the truth about why Ted never takes vacation: he knows he sucks at his job and doesn't want to be replaced. What should be a beautiful teaching moment for him just seems to reinforce his more negative traits, but we're along for the ride to dig into it. Along the way we touch on tokenism - in our cases both as women and as Jewish people - poorly-chosen comments from the Editor-in-Chief of the Atlantic, abortion bans, and what happens when only men are allowed in the room. There's a lot to chew on this week, so tune in, sit back, and enjoy!

Jelly Packets Last week, the COO of Swedish Cherry Hill Medical Center invited me to speak at the hospital's leadership meeting to share a little bit about my experience as a stroke patient there. Among the positive things I had to share, I also talked about a couple of the smaller negatives, including the jelly packets at breakfast. They use those little plastic packets that are common at dinners. You peel back the foil lid and then extract jelly with your knife to spread it on your bread. The problem is it takes two hands to do it. Give it a try with one hand sometime. That means that I and the other hemiparetic stroke patients in the stroke unit couldn't do it. And of course it's a small thing, and there are plenty of people available to help. But I feel silly paging someone to come to my room and spread my jelly. At one level, it struck me as silly that a hospital hadn't thought of this. But there had to be more to it. Later in the day, I realized why it stuck with me like this. It's because that means everyday started with a failure. And that is not a recipe for success in rehab. Starbucks Framework for Recovery Not: Starbucks is not a sponsor, but I'd be happy to change that. Hit me up, Starbucks! Bill@Strokecast.com. Recovery is often talked about in terms of what an arm or leg can do, or how much vocabulary returns, or other metrics that are tied to what actions the patient can execute with their body. But the body is just a vehicle for our minds. Our legs, arms, voices, senses, memory backs, swallowing mechanism, etc. are all just tools for helping us get our minds from place to place, to connect with other minds, and to provide for the enjoyment of our lives. One way I measured my recovery was, could I walk to Starbucks? And then could I enjoy my beverage and walk back? Ted Baxter (http://Strokecast.com/Relentless) talked about how one goal for getting past his aphasia was to be able to order a beverage at Starbucks. The podcast Aphasia Access Conversations recently talked with Speech Language Pathologist Maria L Muñoz and she described an Aha! Moment with a patient when she realized her approach was all wrong. The patient simply wanted to be able to complete an order at Starbucks. Thinking about how the patient's condition impacts their Starbucks experience is really about understanding their goals and the actual benefits therapy and recovery can have in their lives. Of course it doesn't have to be Starbucks. The coffee chain stands in as a great analogy for understanding what recovery means to the survivor. And check out the Aphasia Access Conversations podcast. It's target audience is speech therapists so it's a bit academic. Ultimately it's about the field of speech therapy rather than survivors or consumers of therapy, but it can help you understand more about the field. Congratulations to Ted and Kim! Author and Survivor Ted Baxter appeared on the show last October talking about his journey and his book, Relentless (http://Strokecast.com/Relentless). He was recently profiled in the New York Times talking about his remarkable recovery. You can read that article here. His former wife Kelly was profiled in part 2 talking about her role as caregiver and the challenges associated with it. You can read that profile here. Congratulations, Ted and Kelly. ER Physician Dr. Kimberly Brown was on the show last November (http://Strokecast.com/Kim) talking about her road to medicine, how the ER handles stroke patients, and some of the challenges of dealing with stroke in the stroke belt of the United States. Dr. Brown just released her own book -- It's an Emergency!: Understanding the What, How and Why of Your ER Visit. You can find it on Amazon here: https://www.amazon.com/Its-Emergency-Understanding-What-Visit-ebook/dp/B07RX8VT4B/ref=sr_1_4 Congratulations, Kim! I look forward to reading it. Hack of the Week Gianna Rojas (http://Strokecast.com/Golf) talked about the importance of adaptive clothing. Many of us are already familiar with those snazzy looking Velcro shoes familiar to those with hemiparesis, but it goes beyond that. Gianna is partial to skorts from BSkinz, which you can find here.

ep-136-7-keys-to-recovering-from-a-massive-stroke-by-a-survivor ( http://radiomd.com/media/k2/items/cache/f4c2c37479bf44c53abaa1ecfd860f81_Generic.jpg ) Despite his healthy lifestyle, Ted Baxter had a stroke at 41. He shares tips for identifying warning signs and how to achieve the right mindset for recovery. Despite the fact that Ted Baxter was a very healthy individual and had no family history of strokes, at 41, he suffered a massive ischemic stroke, leaving him with extreme aphasia and badly impaired mobility. Facing an unlikely recovery, Ted learned how to alter his attitude and put faith in his ability to recover. Through perseverance, grit, determination, an acceptance of his situation, and a positive mental attitude, Ted was able to recover and launch a successful career as an author and speaker on strokes and aphasia. In this podcast he shares tips for those on the path to recovery as well as warning signs that someone could be experiencing a stroke and is in need of help. When it comes to identifying a stroke—BE FAST. Look for: * Balance issues * Eye sight that's blurred or double vision * Face drooping (usually on one side) * Arm weakness * Speech difficulty (slurring words or garbled speech) * Time to call 9-1-1 Listen as Ted joins Dr. Taz to discuss the the warning signs of a stroke and tips for recovery.
Strokes are on the rise for those 49 and under, and a fourth of stroke sufferers are under 65. Knowing the right steps to take before and after strokes can have an enormous impact on recovery. These are not only steps for the stroke sufferer, but their loved ones as well. Dr. Terri talks Ted Baxter, author of "Relentless: How A Massive Stroke Changed My Life for the Better." Ted discusses keys to better stroke recovery based on his own experience, and his work as an advocate for those suffering from stroke and aphasia. These powerful tools help repair mind and body after a stroke.
This is a memoir of a 41-year-old successful businessman who was suddenly struck down by a massive ischemic stroke. We discuss seven keys to recovering from a significant life-threatening stroke event. Ted talks about how his mission in life developed only after his illness.
Sometimes in life things happen that appear to be your worst nightmare. And it can happen when we least expect. We never see it coming. We may believe we are on top of the world. But what happens when your world as you knew it comes crashing down in an instant? With life, sometimes you win. Sometimes you learn. And sometimes-- you do both.And ironically the winning victory can be discovered in a place you least expect it. That is the story of Ted W. Baxter. Ted was an auditor and management consultant at Price Waterhouse. He passed all four parts of the CPA exam in one take, and built a financial services consulting practice in Tokyo for Price Waterhouse, becoming partner in record time. After working in the Asia-Pacific for Price Waterhouse and Credit Suisse First Boston, he became a managing director at Citadel LLC, a premiere hedge fund and global financial institution. He retired after twenty-two years in the financial industry. In April 2005, he experienced a massive ischemic stroke and aphasia. He now serves as an advocate, author and speaker on strokes, aphasia, inspiration and motivation. He volunteers at health institutions, is involved in philanthropic causes, and lives in Newport Beach. He is the author of: Relentless: How A Maassive Stoke Changed My Life For the Better. An inspiring show to be shared with everyone as Ted reveals his journey, and empowers others with advice on how to recognize and avoid conditions for a stroke. Don't miss this awesome Aging GreatFULLy power-hour of enlightenment that shows us life truly is what we decide to make it and sometimes we just have to decide to win!

Chatting with Ted Baxter Over the summer, I heard about Ted W Baxter's new book Relentless: How a massive stroke changed my Life for the Better. His team sent me a copy of the book and arranged an interview. In 20015, Ted had a massive stroke. The hemiparesis was one thing to deal with, but Ted was more concerned with the Global Aphasia he developed. What followed was months and years of intense therapy -- most of it traditional, some of it less so, as Ted worked not to get his life back but to build a new life. This book is Ted's story of that journey. Ted and I talked about the book, of course, but we also covered a lot of other ground as we talked about life as survivors and the broader stroke survivor community We have an interesting discussion about English as a Second Language. The idea of of treating your native language as a foreign one to reacquire it after stroke is fascinating. There's a lot of interesting stuff to think about in this book and episode. More about Ted After spending 22 years in the financial industry, Ted W. Baxter retired as a global finance executive with a large hedge investment firm based in Chicago. Prior to that, Ted was a managing director for a global investment bank and he was a Price Waterhouse partner and a consultant concentrated on banks and securities, risk management, financial products, and strategic planning. Internationally, he spent 6 years working and living in Tokyo and Hong Kong. Ted now resides in Newport Beach, CA where he volunteers at several health-related institutions and hospitals in Orange County, leading groups in a stroke-related communication recovery program, and is a member of the Board of Directors at the American Heart and Stroke Association. He is the author of Relentless: How A Massive Stroke Changed My Life for the Better. Hack of the Week Today is another chance to get better. It's seems simple and obvious but this basic mindset shift is critical to recovery. Recovery doesn't have a deadline. Despite what you may have heard, recovery doesn't stop at 6 months, 12 moths, or 2 years. It's ongoing. Every day is another chance to do more. To pursue better results. We're alive which means we have another chance to get better each and every today.

Ted Baxter has an extraordinary life. With his scholastic achievement, he managed to fund his own college education. He then built his new financial services consulting practice in Japan. All this changed when Ted was hit by a stroke at the age of 41. He had no warning signs, no TIA. He was healthy as a horse, an avid exerciser, and took great care of himself. But due to his job, he spent a lot of time on airplanes and including long airplane trips, and this could be a major cause of his stroke - which as he tells his story in the book, unbeknownst to him, he had a deep vein thrombosis or DVT in his right shin that broke loose. Listen to his story
Ted Baxter experienced a massive ischemic stroke in April 2005. He talks with Mark Alyn about his post-stroke journey and his new book Relentless.

TED W. BAXTER was born and grew up on Long Island in New York. He got his bachelor of business administration in three years at Hofstra University in 1984 where he majored in public accountancy.

You remember Ted Baxter saying, "It all began at a small 5,000 watt radio station in Fresno." For Peter Boam aka Peter B - Mr. Smooth, it all began at a college radio station in Sacramento, California. Back in the ‘60s, when Harpers Bizarre was in full swing, we knew most of the dj's in the Bay Area and one of our favorites was Peter B who's still on the air weeknights from 6 to 10PM on BossBossRadio. After KLIV in San Jose, he went from one major market to another (over 10 years at KVI in Seattle). Some great stories here.
MARGIE FRIEDMAN has produced hundreds of hours of non-fiction television and is now producing her own independent documentary films. Her film Conducting Hope profiles inmates at the Lansing Correctional Facility in Kansas who make up the only men's prison choir in the United States that performs outside prison walls. (41:21) EPISODE NOTES: Many of the people I’ve worked with in the non-fiction TV business didn’t go to film school. I didn’t. But MARGIE FRIEDMAN did. As Margie tells me in MARGE AND IN CHARGE, she did not find out until after she had applied just how selective the UCLA film and television program was (she was one of 19 applicants accepted that year). “If I had known that, I wouldn’t have done it.” Margie says going to UCLA did three things for her. First, it confirmed that she wanted to be a writer, producer and director. Second, it gave her hands-on experience in telling a story visually. Her student film “The Beautiful Ones Aren’t Yet Born” won a Jim Morrison Film Award. (The Doors frontman also studied film at UCLA.) Third, and most important, a professor helped her get an internship at KABC News. Jerry Dunphy (“From the desert to the sea, to all of Southern California, a good evening”) was the top anchor at Channel 7 back then. Dunphy, of course, is considered to be the inspiration for Ted Baxter on "The Mary Tyler Moore Show" and Kent Brockman on "The Simpsons." That newsroom internship turned into a paying job for Margie and she worked for 2 years at the station as an assistant to the consumer reporter assignment editor and working on the assignment desk. After 2 more years as a planning editor working at KNXT (now KCBS), Margie decided she didn’t want to make local news her career. Talk shows became a big part of Margie’s life over the next several years, 7 of them spent on “Hour Magazine” with Gary Collins. Lots of celebrity interaction on that show. Mike Wallace and Bette Midler were just 2 of the celeb segments that Margie produced on the daily syndicated show. But her very favorite was Mary Martin. Margie brought her childhood “Peter Pan” album to the studio that day and asked the Broadway star to sign it – the only autograph she’s ever asked for. Another big MM came into Margie’s professional life later on: Mickey Mouse. Her former boss from “Hour Magazine” convinced her to move to Orlando for a couple months to help him get “The All New Mickey Mouse Club” up and running. But 2 months turned into 2 and a half years before Margie finally said “M-I-C … See you real soon.” Plenty of fond memories, though, including working with Mouseketeer Keri Russell who’s all grown up now and starring in “The Americans." And what’s Margie up to these days? After getting paid to write and produce hundreds of hours of television, she’s now producing her own independent documentary films. Her first doc is called “Conducting Hope” and it’s an inspiring look at the only men’s prison choir in the United States that performs outside prison walls. Having filmed in prisons in 20 states myself, I really enjoyed talking with Margie about this particular project and the inmates she profiled. Margie’s now busy with another film called “Orchestrating Change,” which is about the world’s first orchestra made up of musicians with mental illnesses and those who support them.

Special guest: Political Commentator Lionel Nation It WAS SOOOOO beautiful! HRC "voluntarily" appears before the FBI. Translation: They opted not to serve the subpoena. And hours later CNN and the Clinton apparatchik Ted Baxter sockpuppet media announce that there will be no charges. How beautiful is that? It's a conspiracy, kids. Get out the tin foil, here come the black helicopters.

Just in time for the holiday break, we give you #98! In this episode Gary and Noted Author James give you an on-the-spot report at Iowa's Assembly Required show. We also sit down with WOJM SuperGuest Bill Ratner and talk to him about his latest book and other projects he is working on. In the news "One Tank" Mike reports on what happened at Roll Out Roll Call in Southampton UK. We also discuss the unfortunate news of a former guest and community contributor passing. In the mailbag we got two very good letters, one razzing Chuck (YAY!) and the other sparking a lively debate on the wildly speculated (yet no actual facts thereof) a 6" Joe line. Lastly, as JoeCon nears, WOJM and veteran newsman Ted Baxter get you ready for Springfield by giving you facts about the town in an all new segment we hope you like. Hope you all enjoy! Happy Holidays from all of us! Stay safe!
I was very excited and nervous to be talking to Miss Valerie today. I've always felt that in many ways the Mary Tyler Moore Show shaped my life. I saw Mary working in this very exciting world of TV(new to women at the time), she has this cool friend named Rhoda, you're both working women, single, with guy trouble, and no kids. And even as I teenager I remember thinking "That's the life I want!" And that's pretty much the life I got, and it's all and more than what I had hoped for. Valerie Harper has a new book out, a memoir, called I, Rhoda. She takes us behind the scenes with Lou Grant, Ted Baxter, Georgia, Phyllis and Betty White's, Sue Ann Nivens. She also touched on her lung cancer and how it changed her. And if she isn't busy enough she also has a broadway show called "Looped" and you can see a clip from it on her website. Valerie's website is www.ValerieHarper.com and has some fun video memories and you can learn about Valerie's vast body of work. On Facebook: www.facebook.com/ValerieHarperFans Purchase I, Rhoda at your local bookstore and online at: http://www.amazon.com/I-Rhoda-Valerie-Harper/dp/1451699468
