For our closing episode of season 2, we are revisiting our annual tradition of talking about a much-beloved holiday special from our youth. This year, it's Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas!, the classic cartoon that was a holiday staple in both our homes. We discuss the partnership between Looney Tunes animation great Chuck Jones and Ted Geisel, AKA Dr. Seuss, translating the fantastical and imaginative world of Seuss into the medium of moving images, the story behind the now-classic song "You're a Mean One, Mr. Grinch," the brilliant casting of horror icon Boris Karloff, and the recurring Christmas theme of anti-commercialism. Be sure to also check out our guest spot on episode 52 of Why The Flick?, where we discuss the live action Jim Carrey Grinch adaptation; it's a great companion piece to this episode! Happy holidays from our family to yours! We look forward to talking more movies with you in 2024.

Am I the only one who thinks Ted Geisel (aka Dr. Seuss) was one of the great moral philosophers of the 20th century? He wrote so much about the ethics of excellence. The Cat on the Hat teaches about moral responsibility. Green Eggs and Ham teaches us about the ethics of change when, maybe, we don't want to change. How the Grinch Stole Christmas teaches us about the ethics of service to others. So, what does Horton Hatches the Egg teach us? Horton teaches us the ethics of excellence and commitment. He teaches us to treat our word as our bond. We learn that honoring our commitments is the true road to excellence. Elephants can't climb trees! Yet Horton, an elephant, does just that. Why? To honor his commitment to that lazy, good-for-nothing Mayzie! Does the seeming impossibility of the commitment overwhelm Horton? Yes, a little bit, at the beginning. But he adapts. Does the heat bother him? Of course it does. But he made a commitment and "...an elephant's faithful one hundred percent!". Does the cold intimidate him? Obviously, but he adapts to honor his commitment. Does he appreciate people gawking at him when he is a side-show oddity? Of course not! Yet, Horton abides. Horton's commitment to his ethics is his commitment to the ethics of excellence. His commitment to hatch that egg was, by all rational measure, stupid. Yet his ethics committed him to complete that assignment excellently. After all, "...I meant what I said and I said what I meant! An elephant's faithful one hundred percent!" So what does an elephant sitting on an egg have to do with the ethics of excellence? How does Horton's commitment to that lazy, good-for-nothing Mayzie shape what it is we appraisers do? Does Horton's commitment to his own ethics directly shape how and why we do what we do? No. But that influence is indirect. We, as appraisers, have committed ourselves to USPAP. Are we faithful to it, one hundred percent?

Despite being one of the biggest selling children's authors of all time, Dr. Seuss, whose real name was Ted Geisel, never had children of his own. He wrote both adult and kids books, was a captain in the American Army Air Force and, at the time of his death in 1991, had sold over 600 million books worldwide.

With his birthday just days ago it's only fitting that we hear the tale of Ted Geisel, his beginnings, his failures, his tenacity, and ultimately his success. His whimsy has touched the hearts and minds of countless people. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/tsynh/support

Theodor Seuss Geisel was born in 1904 to German immigrants. His father owned a very successful brewery in Springfield, Massachusetts. As a child, his favorite pastime was to go to the zoo with his family every Sunday. He was so good at drawing animals, that his father bought him a sketchbook that he added to every weekend, and his mom allowed him to paint on the walls of his bedroom. His animals always looked like caricatures, and from a young age, they could tell that he had a whimsical imagination. After prohibition in the 1920’s, his father could no longer run the brewery, and actually chose to become the head of the Springfield Zoo instead. Ted Geisel could now go to the zoo and sketch the animals as often as he wanted, and he continued to do so for the rest of his life.

The Dr Seuss books revolutionised the way American children learnt to read in the 1950s. Books like 'The Cat in the Hat' were designed to help young children enjoy reading simple words and sentences using rhymes, anarchic characters and lively illustrations. Claire Bowes spoke to Christopher Cerf who knew Theodor Geisel, the author of the books.

Make Friends Using Your Stories – Episode 183 Our goal with our podcast is to create meaningful relationships with our listeners. Powerful, profitable relationships. People do business with those they know, like and trust. That is the definition of a relationship. The best way to create meaningful relationships is to use engaging content. One of the best ways to create content that is engaging is to use stories. Stories reveal who we are and what we value by the pieces of ourselves we reveal within those stories. This is how your listeners get to know and like you. Your stories tell your audience why they should trust you. WHAT ARE YOU REVEALING? What did you reveal about yourself on your podcast this week? My radio coach taught me that from self-revelation comes friendship. Can you think of a true friend that you know very little about? Friendship becomes stronger the more you share with each other. How can you use the stories you tell to solidify your brand and strengthen your relationships? We have discussed storytelling in past episodes. Check out "Essential Elements of Powerful Storytelling" in episode 129, "Can You Tell Stories Like Walt Disney" in episode 130, and "How to Tell Better Podcast Stories" in episode 169. We cover the power of great storytelling, the parts of a great story, and how to structure a story. Today, I want to teach you about three other areas of storytelling that can help transform your podcast into powerful, engaging entertainment.   How can details elicit fantastic imagery in the theater of the mind of your listener? How can the words you use become memorable? How can you create anticipation that will hook your listeners and make them listen to the end?   VIVID DETAILS When you tell stories on your podcast, you reveal things about yourself. Vivid details are critical elements of great storytelling.   Details are more believable than generalities. Details reveal specifics about your thoughts, beliefs and character. Details put your listener in the moment helping them envision your story in their mind. How can details elicit fantastic imagery in the theater of the mind of your listener?   My wife and daughter are big fans of the Harry Potter book series. They read all of the books long before the movies hit the theaters. Have you ever read a book and then seen the movie? The experience isn't quite the same, is it? My wife and daughter have that issue with Harry Potter. The movie doesn't include every part of the book. More importantly, the scenes in the movie didn't look like the images in their head. They would tell me, "That wasn't what I thought the room would look like." My daughter would say, "I didn't picture the professor like like." That is the wonderful thing about audio. Everyone sees their own personal, mental images in their own way. Those differences add to the enjoyment and entertainment of the story. Each listener can enjoy the unspoken details in their own way. The listener is not at the mercy of the interpretation of a movie director. Coaches often use stories to inspire their team. I've done it myself with teams I have coached in hockey, baseball, and lacrosse. Growing up, I played a few sports. I competed in baseball, ice hockey and bowling. I was a national champion in bowling. That is something no one can ever take from me. It is pretty cool. That is exactly what I told the hockey team I coach as we were headed into the state championship game. Win and you will always be a champion. My bowling championship came when I was a freshman in high school. I was in a child-adult doubles tournament with my dad. We had won the various stages at the local house, city, district, and state levels. That got us to the national tournament where one team from each state competed. After three series of the national tournament, which are 3 games each, we were in the lead going into head-to-head competition. The head-to-head finals put the fifth place team against the fourth place team for one game. The winner of that would play the third place team. That winner would play number two. Finally, we would face that winner in one game for the championship. We got to the last frame of the final game. It was close the entire time. When the last pins fell, we won by 3 pins. The championship was ours, because we did the little things right. When we knew we could not get all 3 pins in a split, we would get the two. When we didn't strike, we focused on the spare. Step-by-step we won. As my players on that high school hockey team sat there before the championship game, I told them that story. They were preparing to face a team who had only lost two games over the past two seasons. One of those games was to our team the night before. Winning a second game in a row against this level of competition was a very challenging task. That group of boys dominated the game from start to finish by doing the little things right all night long. They won the races to the puck, finished their checks, and didn't give up when bad passes didn't connect. When the final buzzer sounded, they became state champions. Once a champion, always a champion. The details make your stories intriguing and believable. Tell great stories. Use vivid details. What will you reveal on your podcast this week? MEMORABLE WORDS American children's author Dr. Seuss (Theodor "Ted" Seuss Geisel) was more interested in telling a good story than he was in telling a true story. He often exaggerated. He always used wonderful, colorful words. The good story approach is even described in his biography at www.Seussville.com. Dr. Seuss and his wife were unable to have children. "To silence friends who bragged about their own children, Ted liked to boast of the achievements of their imaginary daughter, Chrysanthemum-Pearl. … He included her on Christmas cards, along with Norval, Wally, Wickersham, Miggles, Boo-Boo, Thnud, and other purely fictional children. For a photograph used on one year's Christmas card, Geisel even invited in half a dozen neighborhood kids to pose as his and Helen's children. The card reads, 'All of us over at Our House / Wish all of you over at / Your House / A very Merry Christmas,' and is signed ‘Helen and Ted Geisel and the kiddies.'" Part of the magic that was Seuss was created by the words he used. Oftentimes, he used words he created himself, like whisper-ma-phone, fiffer-feffer-feff, and schloppity-schlopp. His words were memorable and unique. His words have sounds that catch your attention. If you want to catch the attention of your audience, use great words like Dr. Seuss. You don't need to create your own vocabulary. Simply use words that stir emotion. Your words do not need to be long, flamboyant words. They simply need to be emotional. Betraying. Jubilant. Downtrodden. Passionate. Unmovable. Use words that paint pictures. Great storytellers use delightful details created by fabulous words. Use delightful details. "It was a muggy, hot lunchtime. We had ducked into the cool, dark shade of the woods where the sun was barely visible through the dense leaves. My eyes hadn't yet adjusted to the leave-covered path when I lost my footing near the edge of an embankment. I ended up landing on my hip, a fall that was sure to leave a strawberry, rolling head-over-feet down the fairly steep, 10-foot drop where I promptly landed on my butt in the muddy mess below. My legs were completely covered in mud as if I had been rolling in it for hours." With the delightful details of that story, you can almost feel yourself in the woods. You can see the muddy mess in your mind. You can smell the thick, wooded area. Details help your listener experience the story rather than just hearing it. Capture the attention of your listener by putting your listener in the moment. Always include delightful details in your story. Use fabulous words that paint pictures. Grab attention like Dr. Seuss. CREATE ANTICIPATION Anticipation is a key feature to storytelling. Your story should build just like a good plot builds in a movie. You need to make your audience anticipate the content that is on the way. Remember when you were planning a vacation? The fantastic anticipation for the trip is almost as pleasurable as the trip itself. You can't wait for the trip to arrive. You want your listener to feel the same way about your content. When they can't wait for the story to arrive, you have created some great content. Teasing is the art of creating anticipation for your audience to entice them to stick around for the payoff to your setup. It is a critical element of your show. Teasing helps create momentum for your podcast. When you promote parts of the show that are coming up, you must creatively tease your audience. You must give them a reason to stick around. It isn't enough to simply say, "A great story about this weekend is coming up." Few will stick around for the payoff. Tease. Create anticipation. Instead, use something like, "You're never gonna believe what I found in the attic this past weekend." Television news does a wonderful job at teasing. Create anticipation. Tease me.   Use details to elicit fantastic imagery in the theater of the mind of your listener. Use memorable words Use stories to create anticipation that will hook your listeners and make them listen to the end   Do you need help with your podcast?

Let's turn your information into engaging entertainment.

A WWII field psychiatrist found that infantry soldiers in the 5th Army survived a maximum of 238 aggregate combat days (ACD) before a fate of (1) physical casualty, (2) prisoner of war, or (3) psychiatric casualty. For the first time, it was realized that every soldier had a “finite voltage” and sooner or later would break – even if they appeared to have held up magnificently under incredible stress. This understanding demarked a sharp change in thinking that previously held that soldiers that “broke” under pressure did so only due to some psychological flaw. CHANGING PTSD to PTSI. In order to bring greater awareness to the issue of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD), the United States Senate designated June 27th as National PTSD Awareness Day. President George W. Bush in 2014 championed a campaign to change how we think about PTSD. In a very moving discussion on Good Morning America, he stated, “We're getting rid of the D," he said. "PTS is an injury; it's not a disorder. The problem is when you call it a disorder, [veterans] don't think they can be treated.” This is part of the George W. Bush Institute's Military Service Initiative. PSYCHIATRIC COLLAPSE VIEWED AS INTRA-SOLDIER FLAW DURING & BEFORE WWII. A soldier's mental health was viewed much differently 75 years ago. An important lesson that came out of military psychiatry in WWII. In that war, looking at psychiatric collapse of individuals primarily along the Western front, the conventional view was that there was something wrong with them before they even showed up in the Army and that a healthy individual could endure combat essentially indefinitely and then people referred to “Shell Shock”, what was later called “Combat Fatigue.” Doctors were saying it's a manifestation of a pre-existing condition in a military context. WHY WE FIGHT VIDEOS & MOTIVATION PROGANDA. The belief was that a “weakling” soldier (who hadn't been screened out) perhaps just needed more motivation. Dr. Appel, military psychiatrist, shared wrote that as psychiatric liaison to the Information & Education (I&E) Division, he took on my first project helping make movies in a series entitled Why We Fight, to be shown to recruits. (You can view these unsettling Frank Capra videos on YouTube - each are 40-50 minutes in length). Appel recalls discussing id, superego, and ego with the experts making the films: a Harvard professor of sociology, a professor of psychology from Yale--and Ted Geisel, or "Dr. Seuss." THE ONE QUESTION THAT WAS AN EXCELLENT PREDICTOR OF A SOLDIER'S BATTLE ENDURANCE. Later studies determined that that single question, asked at induction, "Do you want to be in the service?" predicted actual emotional breakdown better than any other. Negative responses heralded subsequent mental disorder. WHAT HELPED? Surprisingly, extra pay to combat soldiers didn't make a difference. Steps that made a difference included setting a completed Tour of Duty at 180 ACD and providing line infantry soldiers with special blue arm patches. Such measures boosted morale & decreased psychiatric collapse. SUMMARY. Per Appel, from a medical viewpoint, the most exciting event had been that discovery that every man has a breaking point. This had not been known previously to psychiatry or to anyone. FOLLOW DR. PERRODIN: On Twitter @SafetyPhD and subscribe to “The Safety Doc” YouTube channel & SoundCloud RSS feed. DR.

The other day I was watching  a documentary about Ted Geisel, aka Dr. Seuss. For me Ted Geisel is up there with Steve Jobs. He’s someone I really look up to. Essentially, he started creating amazing cartoon ads for many different companies. In this documentary I found out that he really didn’t enjoy making those illustrations for [...] The post What You Can Learn From “The Grinch” Creator Ted Geisel – MWTG: 006 appeared first on AdToons.

Although the country of Jordan is surrounded by "noisey neighbors" it is the safest country in the Middle East because of the Swiss-like neutrality it has maintained.  The spirit of hospitality that is ingrained in the Bedouin culture, which accounts for 40% of Jordan's population, transcends throughout the country.  Janine Jervis with Visit Jordan describes Jordan as an open-air museum because of its voluminous history and archaeological treasures but she tells us that Jordan is also cosmopolitan and diverse in its tourism offerings. Theodor (Ted)  Seuss Geisel, best known as Dr. Seuss, wore many hats beyond a childrens book author and illustrator.  He was also a social commentator and his work tackled many issues like racial inequality and the environment.  Dr. Seuss also enjoyed creating "unorthodox" taxidermy and part of his "secret art" series poked fun at socialites. We will explore the colorful life of Ted Geisel with curator of The Art of Dr. Seuss, Bill Dreyer. Filmmaker Ken Burns has shared a vareity of America's history through his popular documentary films, including:  Baseball (1994); The Central Park Five (2013); The Civil War (1990); and The Roosevelts (2014).  His style of filmmaking incorporates archival footage and photographs to help craft America's stories.  As part of our "Best Of" interviews, we have gone into our archives to share our 2009 interview with Ken Burns and his film The National Parks: America's Best Idea.   Photo:  The Grand Canyon taken by Tonya Fitzpatrick.  All rights reserved.
