Despite the hurdles of "manufactured mismanagement" intended to sabotage it, Amtrak emerged resilient.

Patrick Rieger emailed some photos: "Hi Marc, I wanted to thank you for choosing my message from a few months back to read on the air and share the photo in the show notes in episode 615 of the Irish and Celtic Music Podcast. You are very right, it is wonderful to be more involved in the community and help spread the fun and the joy of Celtic music and other aspects of the culture. And to think it all started 17 years ago when a friend told me about something called renaissance festivals. Celtic Pittsburgh is growing. My wife and son have joined in, as well as a friend. We had tables at the Pittsburgh Irish Festival, and the Ligonier Highland Games.Thanks to those events we have many more subscribers on our Facebook page, and I have learned about other events and other musicians and bands I had not heard of before. I have attached a few photos. The Irish festival was held on the site of an old steel mill in Rankin, Pa, just outside of Pittsburgh. In one photo, Sue Borowski's group, RichPatrick, can be seen performing at the Ligonier Highland Games. On Labor Day weekend, Sue and I were interviewed on the radio! It was an "I can't believe I am doing this" moment. If you care to have a listen, here is the link. Again, thank you! Woodland Folk sent some photos in September

I interviewed Marc Magliari, who is Amtrak's spokesperson for 23 states, to talk about what's going on with Amtrak. To watch the full interview, watch the YouTube video ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3vsehcdJBW8). Highlights of Episode 10 I've edited the questions and answers for brevity and clarity. Francis Tapon: What's a common misconception about train travel in America? Marc Magliari, Media Relations Manager at Amtrak: It's usually best to buy your tickets as far in advance as possible. But we have Flash Sales that pop up and last for two or three days and then disappear. Check the Deals tab on Amtrak.com. Sometimes they have blackouts, sometimes they don't. I bet I can outrun this train. Tapon: When is the best time of year to get a good deal? Magliari: The softer seasons for us are usually after the middle of January until early March. Also, the end of the summer after Labor Day. This is especially true for leisure trains. It's less true for business-oriented trains. The more flexibility that you have, the better. Tapon: I expected that taking Amtrak across America would be uncomfortable, especially in coach, but it wasn't. Magliari: Yes, plenty of people go across America in coach. I need to be horizontal when I sleep. So if you're like me, you'll want to book a roomette or a bedroom for any long distance travel. Tapon: Are airlines your biggest competitor? Magliari: No, it's cars. If you compare our cost to driving, we're pretty competitive. We'll feed you and we'll give you a place to sleep. And you'll be able to see your country instead of worrying about the 18-wheeler on one side and the person shaving or putting makeup next to you. Tapon: The business traveler wants Wi-Fi. I didn't get it for much of my journey. Magliari: About 90% of Amtrak passengers have access to Wi-Fi. When you don't, most business travelers tether to their phone's data plan. We depend on the cellular networks. We amalgamate various cellular networks. It's not everywhere, especially in Alleghenies and the Sierra Nevada. Tapon: Are there any long-term solutions to solving the Wi-Fi issue? Magliari: 5G is coming. But still, with 300 people on a train, it will probably remain an issue. Tapon: What's the appeal of Amtrak for the business traveler? Magliari: To stay productive. When you go to the airport, you lose a lot of time going through security and just getting to the airport. Tapon: Is it ever more efficient to take an overnight train over a plane? Magliari: In Chicago, we have a train called the Texas Eagle. It leaves Chicago at 1:45 p.m. By noon the next day, it's in downtown Dallas. If I've got an afternoon meeting in Dallas, I will have to get up at 4:30 a.m. to get to the airport. I'll sleep poorly. In contrast, I can let the train be my hotel. I can finish my presentation on the train. I'll be rested. One of the big advantages is that most of our stops are in downtown areas. Airports tend to be far from a city's downtown. If you've flown to Denver, Cincinnati, or New Orleans, you know how far the airports are from the downtown. Tapon: Are Fortune 500 companies getting this productivity argument? Magliari: A lot of companies get it. A lot of sports teams get it. In fact, in the northeast corridor, we transport some sports teams overnight. Tapon: What are the upgrades to the infrastructure in the pipeline? Magliari: In the next three to five years, all the business class seats will be replaced with an even nicer business class. Tapon: How can passengers ride across America on Amtrak? Magliari: There are many routes, you either have to go through Chicago or New Orleans. Tapon: Any advice to train travelers? Magliari: Don't always count on having Wi-Fi or cellular. Bring reading material. The Prince says, "But can I play polo with this?" Tapon: Is Amtrak looking into the Hyperloop? Magliari: The way we get to where the next generation is with incremental steps. That's how they did it in Europe. Right now we're developing the Chicago hub to achieve a maximum speed of 110 miles per hour, which is near the limit of what you can do with the existing infrastructure. If you want faster, like 220 miles per hour, you need all new infrastructure. It's like building a brand new highway. Tapon: What's happening in the 2020s? Magliari: We're partnered with Texas Central, who is looking to do a high-speed network between Fort-Worth/Dallas, Houston and San Antonio. But that will be all-new construction. But we have property rights and environmental checks. That slows us down. China doesn't have those limitations. Tapon: Is Amtrak losing sleep about the advent of self-driving cars? Magliari: No. If everyone has a self-driving car, you still have to get all those cars through a funnel. Trains have an exclusive lane. Cars must share the road.  More info You can post comments, ask questions, and sign up for my newsletter at http://wanderlearn.com. If you like this, subscribe and share!

Kyle and I got together with Kristen and Brian for lunch during our stop in Los Angeles. We were mere hours off of our 28 hour overnight train ride from San Antonio to LA on the Texas Eagle.  We were a little blinky-eyed, but well-coffeed as we got to the restaurant, ordered food and scouted tables. I setup the wireless microphones, anxiously hoping the hustling restaurant setting would provide some cool, contextual din of ambience to complement our conversation. What can I say, I’m an optimist. That didn’t happen. There was no way were going to make it work. The table’s were packed in tight, the restaurant was full, with a line snaking towards the door, and my headphones revealed the chaos as anything but productive. Thankfully, we realized that Brian and Kristen were coming to Michigan to visit Red Horse Ranch in June, adjacent to a secret awards ceremony in Chicago, that Kristen was not yet allowed to reveal. We made the call to postpone, and I let out semi-exhausted sigh of relief. We enjoyed our lunch and time with Kristen, Brian and their son Max. This conversation took place in my dining room, a couple of months later.

Iron Maiden kemur aðeins við sögu í Rokklandi dagsins, en sjötta platan þeirra, Somewhere in time er 30 ára um þessar mundir og sveitin ætlar að túra aðeins um Bretland og nokkur Evrópulönd næsta sumar. Hljómsveitin Leaves fagnar 15 ára afmæli sínu í ár og af því tilefni hljóðritaði sveitin aftur fyrsta lagið sem varð til, titillag fyrstu plötunnar sem kom út árið 2002 og heitir Breathe. Við heyrum það á eftir, rifjum upp 14 ára gamalt Popplands-viðtal við Leaves, heyrum tónleikaupptökur með þeim frá Eurosonic Festival 2002 og Reykjavík Tropic Festival í Reykjavík 2006. Suede er að koma til Íslands í annað sinn og spila í Laugardalshöll 22. Október. Suede spilaði í Laugardalshöll á annari Airwaves hátíðinni árið 2000. Við heyrum upptökur Rásar 2 þaðan með Suede og líka 2 lög af nýju plötunni. Quarashi spilaði á Nasa í ágúst. Tónleikarnir voru teknir upp fyrir Rás 2 og við heyrum brot af því og líka frá útgáfutónleikum Svavars Knúts sem fóru fram í Gamla bíó í otkóber í fyrra. Billy Bragg er kjaftfor en hjartahlýr og vinstrisinnaður Englendingur, orðinn gráhærður en í fínu formi. Hann hefur gert nokkarar fínar plötur, t.d. tvær plötur og rúmlega það reyndar með Bandarísku hljómsveitinni Wilco en þar sömdu hann og Wilco lög við texta Woody Guthrie sem engin lög voru til við. Núna í síðustu viku var hann að senda frá sér ansi merkilega plötu ? ásamt öðrum náunga sem heitir Joe Henry og meðal annars mágur Madonnu. Platan heitir Shine a Light: Field Recordings from the Great American Railroad. Þeir bókuðu far með járnbraut yfir Bandaríkin þver, frá Chicago yfir til Los Angeles með Texas Eagle 421 Amtrak, höfðu gítarana sína með og upptökutæki og upptökumann og tóku upp flækingslög og lestarsöngva úr Bandarísku söngvabókinni á lestarstöðvum. Heyrum af þessu í þætti vikunnar. Stærsta tónlistarfrétt vikunnar hér á Íslandi er sú að Björk ætlar að spila á Iceland Airwaves í Eldborg í nóvember. BJörk kemur við sögu í þætti dagsins. Lagalisti þáttarins: Björk / Lion song Björk / Virus Björk / All is full fo love Suede / The wild ones Suede / Everything will flow Suede / When you are young Suede / What i´m trying to tell you Leaves / Catch Leaves / I go down Leaves / Breathe Quarashi / Chicago Quarashi / Mr. Caulfield (live á Nasa) Quarashi / Baseline (live á Nasa) Billy Bragg / A new England Billy Bragg & Joe Henry / Rock Island line Billy Bragg & Joe Henry / Midnight special Billy Bragg & Joe Henry / Early morning rain Svavar Knútur / Yfir holt og yfir hæðir (Live í Gamla bíó) Svavar Knútur / Brot (Live
