Le Refugee Food Festival tient sa 11ème édition avec toujours la même ferveur et le même objectif : faire changer le regard porté sur les réfugiés, et la recette est bonne : le temps du festival, aux fourneaux, des cuisiniers réfugiés conçoivent un menu à 4 mains avec des chefs de restaurants locaux qui partagent leurs fourneaux. Les histoires et les récits se mêlent, la langue est celle de la cuisine, celle des gestes et des goûts, elle se passe de vocabulaire.   De ces rencontres, naissent des plats uniques pour le festival. Au-delà du festival, l'association créée en 2016 se mobilise toute l'année pour accueillir, former et aider à l'insertion des réfugiés par la cuisine.  « C'est vraiment né de ces voyages et de la conviction que la cuisine est en pouvoir et un outil très fort de découverte et de compréhension, quelque chose qui permet de valoriser aussi qui on est, son identité, d'où on vient, de perpétuer aussi des traditions qui font notre identité. Et quand on parle de personnes qui sont en exil, ça a d'autant plus de sens de préserver son patrimoine et son identité. »  Mandrila, co-fondatrice du Refugee Food.  Irène Zhao et Doha Al Jammal travaillent toutes les deux dans la cuisine du Refugee Food à la cité du Refuge à Paris. L'association a 3 lieux : 1 restaurant – la résidence à Ground Control – 1 cantine « les arbustes », un réfectoire et une cuisine centrale où sont préparés les milliers de repas d'aide alimentaire distribués chaque année à Paris, et les plats du service  traiteur. C'est dans cette cuisine que travaille Doha, réfugiée en France depuis 2015, Irène elle est la seconde de Harouna Sow, le chef des cuisines de l'association, lui-même réfugié mauritanien.    « La cuisine Refugee Food, c'est comme plusieurs restaurants en un, c'est une énorme richesse »    Tibétain, libanais, haïtien, malien, l'expression « cuisines du monde » ne répond pas à une tendance, elle l'incarne. Chaque cuisinier partage sa culture et ses savoir-faire dans l'élaboration des menus. Irène Zhao orchestre le travail avec rigueur, douceur et pédagogie. Le français est la langue partagée dans les cuisines, mais elle manque parfois encore un peu de maîtrise - apprendre une langue à l'âge adulte est un défi que nous ne serons pas toujours prêts à relever ! -   Femmes en cuisine : se faire sa place, trouver sa voix Dans toutes les cuisines, travailler en étant femme est un défi, il est physique et soulève des questions évidentes de positionnement et de genre. « Les cuisines du Refugee food sont très bienveillantes, explique Irène Zhao, la difficulté vient de la multiplicité des cultures et des origines des personnes avec lesquelles on travaille. L'égalité homme/femme en général, au travail plus particulièrement n'est pas le même partout. Pour nous, il est important de recontextualiser et de montrer la voie que l'on veut prendre dans nos cuisines. Nous demandons à tout le monde juste de suivre ces règles de base, en cuisine, plus encore : quand on est un petit gabarit, avec une voix un peu plus douce, il faut savoir diriger une équipe en douceur et avec fermenté. Cela nécessite cadre et organisation. Quand l'équipe voit que l'avancée est sereine que l'on cuisine bien et que de belles choses sont réalisées : il n'y a plus de question ».     Avec Doha Al Jammal, réfugié syro-libanaise et Irène Zhao, cheffe de partie et seconde de Harouna Sow, le chef des cuisines du Refugee Food.  - Pour goûter la cuisine de Doha, elle a ouvert son entreprise traiteur Tayeb   - Refugee Food, l'association a 3 lieux à Paris et des antennes dans plusieurs villes de France, dont Marseille ou Tours.

Ronald, Marco en Jelle zijn terug met een aflevering over criminelen, Cloudflare, consultants en piepers. Dave Maasland verkoopt ESET Nederland aan het Slowaakse moederbedrijf ESET, Ronald duikt in het Follow the Money-interview met TIB-voorzitter Annemieke Zwanenveld over de nieuwe Wiv, toetsing, CTIVD/TIB-samenvoeging, witte jassen en Palantir. Daarna Jelle's human-interest ransomwareverhaal: The Gentlemen RaaS werd zelf gehackt via de hostinglaag achter hun Rocket.Chat, waardoor Check Point kon meekijken in interne chats, payouts, AI-assisted coding en het kantoortje achter ransomware. Marco sluit af met Google Threat Intelligence over Chinese phishing-as-a-service: betere lokalisatie, RCS/iMessage en AI als contextversneller. Daarna het hoofdverhaal: Cloudflare heeft via Anthropic's Project Glasswing Mythos op meer dan 50 repositories losgelaten. Marco legt uit waarom dat niet neerkomt op "druk op knop, vind zero-days", maar op exploit-chain construction, proof generation, signal-to-noise en vooral: een hele vulnerability-research-harness met recon, hunt, validate, gapfill, dedupe, trace en report. Geen magische silver bullet, wel een duidelijke versnelling voor wie de workflow eromheen bouwt. Jelle pakt vervolgens McKinsey Lilli en BCG X erbij. CodeWall liet zien hoe interne AI-platforms zelf attack surface worden: publieke API-documentatie, endpoints zonder authenticatie, SQL-injectie, IDOR, miljoenen chats en files, system prompts, workspaces, modelconfiguraties en complete datawarehouses. Het echte verhaal: organisaties stoppen hun kennislaag, documenten, prompts en besluitvorming steeds meer in platforms. Wie daarin zit, zit bijna in het geheugen van de organisatie. Ronald en Marco sluiten af met het Mossad-pieperverhaal. Naar aanleiding van een nieuw Hebreeuws boek en een interview in The Jerusalem Post lopen ze door hoe de Hezbollah-pagers en walkie-talkies als supply-chain-operatie zouden zijn opgebouwd: techniek, infiltratie, Gold Apollo, BAC Consulting, Iraanse argwaan en de spanning tussen "ongelooflijk knap" en "hier zijn mensen door gestorven". *Bronnen* - Tweakers, "Slowaakse ESET koopt Nederlandse ESET": https://tweakers.net/nieuws/248036/slowaakse-eset-koopt-nederlandse-eset.html - ESET press release: https://www.eset.com/us/about/newsroom/company/eset-market-expansion-europe-asia/ - Follow the Money, "Geheime diensten gebruiken onafhankelijke experts om publiek debat te sturen": https://www.ftm.nl/artikelen/geheime-diensten-zetten-onafhankelijke-experts-in - Check Point Research, "When the Ransomware Gang Gets Hacked": https://blog.checkpoint.com/research/when-the-ransomware-gang-gets-hacked-what-the-gentlemen-leak-reveals-about-modern-ransomware-risk/ - Cloudflare Blog, Grant Bourzikas, "Project Glasswing: what Mythos showed us": https://blog.cloudflare.com/cyber-frontier-models/ - Anthropic, Project Glasswing: https://www.anthropic.com/glasswing - CodeWall, "How We Hacked McKinsey's AI Platform": https://codewall.ai/blog/how-we-hacked-mckinseys-ai-platform - CodeWall, "How We Hacked BCG's Data Warehouse": https://codewall.ai/blog/how-we-hacked-bcgs-data-warehouse-3-17-trillion-rows-zero-authentication - The Jerusalem Post, "Inside Israel's secret operation to turn Hezbollah's beepers into bombs": https://www.jpost.com/israel-news/defense-news/article-896890

Veiligheidsdiensten opereren het liefst in stilte, maar op dit moment waarschuwen ze openlijk voor de groeiende dreiging in de wereld. Hoe moeten we die waarschuwingen zien, nu er in sneltreinvaart een nieuwe inlichtingenwet wordt voorbereid die ook het toezicht op de diensten regelt? Annette van Soest bespreekt het in deze aflevering van ‘Follow the Money interviewt' met Anne Mieke Zwaneveld, voorzitter van de Toetsingscommissie Inzet Bevoegdheden (TIB). Deze commissie is de laatste horde die de AIVD en de MIVD moeten nemen als ze telefoons willen afluisteren, computers of netwerken willen hacken of op grote schaal internetverkeer willen aftappen.

COMMENTAIRE DE L'ÉVANGILE DU JOURJn 21, 15-19Jésus se manifesta encore aux disciples sur le bord de la mer de Tibériade. Quand ils eurent mangé, Jésus dit à Simon-Pierre : « Simon, fils de Jean, m'aimes- tu vraiment, plus que ceux-ci ? » Il lui répond : « Oui, Seigneur ! Toi, tu le sais : je t'aime. » Jésus lui dit : « Sois le berger de mes agneaux. » Il lui dit une deuxième fois : « Simon, fils de Jean, m'aimes-tu vraiment ? » Il lui répond : « Oui, Seigneur ! Toi, tu le sais : je t'aime. » Jésus lui dit : « Sois le pasteur de mes brebis. » Il lui dit, pour la troisième fois : « Simon, fils de Jean, m'aimes-tu ? » Pierre fut peiné parce que, la troisième fois, Jésus lui demandait : « M'aimes-tu ? » Il lui répond : « Seigneur, toi, tu sais tout : tu sais bien que je t'aime. » Jésus lui dit : « Sois le berger de mes brebis. Amen, amen, je te le dis : quand tu étais jeune, tu mettais ta ceinture toi-même pour aller là où tu voulais ; quand tu seras vieux, tu étendras les mains, et c'est un autre qui te mettra ta ceinture, pour t'emmener là où tu ne voudrais pas aller. » Jésus disait cela pour signifier par quel genre de mort Pierre rendrait gloire à Dieu. Sur ces mots, il lui dit : « Suis-moi. »

Voici l'Évangile du vendredi 22 mai 2026 :« Sois le berger de mes agneaux. Sois le pasteur de mes brebis » (Jn 21, 15-19)Jésus se manifesta encore aux disciples sur le bord de la mer de Tibériade.

COMMENTAIRE DE L'ÉVANGILE DU JOURJn 6, 22-29Jésus avait rassasié cinq mille hommes, et ses disciples l'avaient vu marcher sur la mer. Le lendemain, la foule restée sur l'autre rive se rendit compte qu'il n'y avait eu là qu'une seule barque, et que Jésus n'y était pas monté avec ses disciples, qui étaient partis sans lui. Cependant, d'autres barques, venant de Tibériade, étaient arrivées près de l'endroit où l'on avait mangé le pain après que le Seigneur eut rendu grâce. Quand la foule vit que Jésus n'était pas là, ni ses disciples, les gens montèrent dans les barques et se dirigèrent vers Capharnaüm à la recherche de Jésus. L'ayant trouvé sur l'autre rive, ils lui dirent : « Rabbi, quand es-tu arrivé ici ? » Jésus leur répondit : « Amen, amen, je vous le dis : vous me cherchez, non parce que vous avez vu des signes, mais parce que vous avez mangé de ces pains et que vous avez été rassasiés. Travaillez non pas pour la nourriture qui se perd, mais pour la nourriture qui demeure jusque dans la vie éternelle, celle que vous donnera le Fils de l'homme, lui que Dieu, le Père, a marqué de son sceau. » Ils lui dirent alors : « Que devons-nous faire pour travailler aux œuvres de Dieu ? » Jésus leur répondit : « L'œuvre de Dieu, c'est que vous croyiez en celui qu'il a envoyé. » 

Másnap a tömeg, amely a tengeren túl állt, észrevette, hogy csak egy bárka volt ott, és hogy Jézus nem szállt be tanítványaival a bárkába, a tanítványai egyedül távoztak el. Jöttek viszont Tibériásból más bárkák annak a helynek a közelébe, ahol a kenyeret ették, miután az Úr hálát adott. Amikor tehát a sokaság meglátta, hogy nincs ott sem Jézus, sem a tanítványai, beszálltak a bárkákba, és Jézust keresve Kafarnaumba mentek. Amikor megtalálták őt a tengeren túl, azt mondták neki: ,,Mester, mikor jöttél ide?'' Jézus azt felelte: ,,Bizony, bizony mondom nektek: Kerestek engem, de nem azért, mert jeleket láttatok, hanem mert ettetek a kenyerekből és jóllaktatok. Ne azért az eledelért fáradozzatok, amely veszendő, hanem azért az eledelért, amely megmarad az örök életre, amelyet majd az Emberfia ad nektek. Őt ugyanis az Atyaisten jelölte meg pecsétjével.'' Erre azt kérdezték tőle: ,,Mit tegyünk, hogy Isten tetteit cselekedjük?'' Jézus azt felelte: ,,Isten tette az, hogy higgyetek abban, akit ő küldött.''Olvasmányok, ünnepek a liturgikus naptárban. | Felolvassa: Varga László |

COMMENTAIRE DE L'ÉVANGILE DU JOURJn 6, 1-15En ce temps-là, Jésus passa de l'autre côté de la mer de Galilée, le lac de Tibériade. Une grande foule le suivait, parce qu'elle avait vu les signes qu'il accomplissait sur les malades. Jésus gravit la montagne, et là, il était assis avec ses disciples. Or, la Pâque, la fête des Juifs, était proche. Jésus leva les yeux et vit qu'une foule nombreuse venait à lui. Il dit à Philippe : « Où pourrions- nous acheter du pain pour qu'ils aient à manger ? » Il disait cela pour le mettre à l'épreuve, car il savait bien, lui, ce qu'il allait faire. Philippe lui répondit : « Le salaire de deux cents journées ne suffirait pas pour que chacun reçoive un peu de pain. » Un de ses disciples, André, le frère de Simon-Pierre, lui dit : « Il y a là un jeune garçon qui a cinq pains d'orge et deux poissons, mais qu'est-ce que cela pour tant de monde ! » Jésus dit : « Faites asseoir les gens. » Il y avait beaucoup d'herbe à cet endroit. Ils s'assirent donc, au nombre d'environ cinq mille hommes. Alors Jésus prit les pains et, après avoir rendu grâce, il les distribua aux convives ; il leur donna aussi du poisson, autant qu'ils en voulaient. Quand ils eurent mangé à leur faim, il dit à ses disciples : « Rassemblez les morceaux en surplus, pour que rien ne se perde. » Ils les rassemblèrent, et ils remplirent douze paniers avec les morceaux des cinq pains d'orge, restés en surplus pour ceux qui prenaient cette nourriture. À la vue du signe que Jésus avait accompli, les gens disaient : « C'est vraiment lui le Prophète annoncé, celui qui vient dans le monde. » Mais Jésus savait qu'ils allaient venir l'enlever pour faire de lui leur roi ; alors de nouveau il se retira dans la montagne, lui seul. 

Mindezek után Jézus Galilea, azaz Tibériás tengerén túlra ment. Nagy sokaság követte őt, mert látták a jeleket, amelyeket a betegeken művelt. Jézus fölment a hegyre, és leült ott tanítványaival. Közel volt a Húsvét, a zsidók ünnepe. Amikor Jézus fölemelte szemét és látta, hogy nagy sokaság közeledik hozzá, megkérdezte Fülöptől: ,,Honnan veszünk kenyeret, hogy ehessenek?'' Ezt pedig azért mondta, hogy próbára tegye őt, mert ő maga tudta, mit akar tenni. Fülöp azt felelte neki: ,,Kétszáz dénár árú kenyér sem elég nekik, hogy mindegyiknek csak valami kevés jusson.'' A tanítványok egyike, András, Simon Péter testvére így szólt: ,,Van itt egy fiú, akinek van öt árpakenyere és két hala. De mi ez ennyinek?'' Jézus erre azt mondta: ,,Telepítsétek le az embereket!'' Sok fű volt azon a helyen. Letelepedtek tehát a férfiak, szám szerint mintegy ötezren. Jézus pedig fogta a kenyereket, hálát adott, és szétosztotta a letelepülteknek. Ugyanígy a halakból is adott, amennyit akartak. Miután jóllaktak, azt mondta tanítványainak: ,,Szedjétek föl a megmaradt darabokat, hogy semmi el ne vesszen!'' Összeszedték tehát, és az öt árpakenyér darabjaiból, ami megmaradt az étkezők után, tizenkét kosarat töltöttek meg. Az emberek pedig, látva a jelet, amelyet művelt, azt mondták: ,,Bizonyára ez az a próféta, aki eljön a világra!'' Amikor Jézus észrevette, hogy arra készülnek, hogy megragadják és királlyá tegyék, ismét visszavonult a hegyre, egészen egyedül.Olvasmányok, ünnepek a liturgikus naptárban. | Felolvassa: Varga László |

Voici l'Évangile du vendredi 17 avril 2026 :« Il en distribua aux convives, autant qu'ils en voulaient » (Jn 6, 1-15)En ce temps-là, Jésus passa de l'autre côté de la mer de Galilée, le lac de Tibériade.

COMMENTAIRE DE L'ÉVANGILE DU JOURJn 21, 1-14En ce temps-là, Jésus se manifesta encore aux disciples sur le bord de la mer de Tibériade, et voici comment. Il y avait là, ensemble, Simon-Pierre, avec Thomas, appelé Didyme (c'est-à-dire Jumeau), Nathanaël, de Cana de Galilée, les fils de Zébédée, et deux autres de ses disciples. Simon-Pierre leur dit : « Je m'en vais à la pêche. » Ils lui répondent : « Nous aussi, nous allons avec toi. » Ils partirent et montèrent dans la barque ; or, cette nuit-là, ils ne prirent rien. Au lever du jour, Jésus se tenait sur le rivage, mais les disciples ne savaient pas que c'était lui. Jésus leur dit : « Les enfants, auriez-vous quelque chose à manger ? » Ils lui répondirent : « Non. » Il leur dit : « Jetez le filet à droite de la barque, et vous trouverez. » Ils jetèrent donc le filet, et cette fois ils n'arrivaient pas à le tirer, tellement il y avait de poissons. Alors, le disciple que Jésus aimait dit à Pierre : « C'est le Seigneur ! » Quand Simon-Pierre entendit que c'était le Seigneur, il passa un vêtement, car il n'avait rien sur lui, et il se jeta à l'eau. Les autres disciples arrivèrent en barque, traînant le filet plein de poissons ; la terre n'était qu'à une centaine de mètres. Une fois descendus à terre, ils aperçoivent, disposé là, un feu de braise avec du poisson posé dessus, et du pain. Jésus leur dit : « Apportez donc de ces poissons que vous venez de prendre. » Simon-Pierre remonta et tira jusqu'à terre le filet plein de gros poissons : il y en avait cent cinquante-trois. Et, malgré cette quantité, le filet ne s'était pas déchiré. Jésus leur dit alors : « Venez manger. » Aucun des disciples n'osait lui demander : « Qui es-tu ? » Ils savaient que c'était le Seigneur. Jésus s'approche ; il prend le pain et le leur donne ; et de même pour le poisson. C'était la troisième fois que Jésus ressuscité d'entre les morts se manifestait à ses disciples. 

Ezek után Jézus ismét megjelent a tanítványoknak a Tibériási tengernél. Így jelent meg: Együtt volt Simon Péter, Tamás, akit Ikernek hívnak, a galileai Kánából való Natanael, Zebedeus fiai, és még másik kettő a tanítványai közül. Simon Péter azt mondta nekik: ,,Megyek halászni.'' Azok azt felelték: ,,Megyünk veled mi is.'' Elindultak tehát, és beszálltak a hajóba, de azon az éjszakán semmit sem fogtak. Amikor már megvirradt, Jézus a parton állt, de a tanítványok nem tudták, hogy Jézus az. Jézus azt mondta nekik: ,,Fiaim, nincs valami ennivalótok?'' Azt felelték: ,,Nincsen!'' Ő ekkor azt mondta nekik: ,,Vessétek a hálót a hajó jobb oldalára, és találni fogtok!'' Kivetették, de kihúzni már nem tudták a tömérdek hal miatt. Akkor az a tanítvány, akit Jézus szeretett, így szólt Péterhez: ,,Az Úr az!'' Amint Simon Péter meghallotta, hogy az Úr az, magára öltötte köntösét, mert mezítelen volt, és a tengerbe vetette magát. A többi tanítvány pedig tovább hajózott, mert nem voltak messze a szárazföldtől, csak mintegy kétszáz könyöknyire, és vonták magukkal a halakkal telt hálót. Amikor partra szálltak, égő parazsat pillantottak meg, rajta halat és kenyeret. Jézus azt mondta nekik: ,,Hozzatok a halakból, amelyeket most fogtatok!'' Erre Simon Péter visszament, és partra vonta a hálót, amely meg volt tömve százötvenhárom nagy hallal. És bár ennyi volt, nem szakadozott a háló. Jézus azt mondta nekik: ,,Gyertek, egyetek!'' A tanítványok közül senki sem merte őt megkérdezni: ,,Ki vagy te?'' Tudták ugyanis, hogy az Úr az. Jézus odament, fogta a kenyeret, és odaadta nekik, ugyanígy a halat is. Jézus ekkor már harmadszor jelent meg a tanítványainak azóta, hogy föltámadt halottaiból.Olvasmányok, ünnepek a liturgikus naptárban. | Felolvassa: Varga László |

What happens when a childhood dream refuses to let go? In this episode, I sit down with cartoonist and Lum and Abner historian Donnie Pitchford to explore how old-time radio, comic strips, and a love for storytelling shaped his life. Donnie shares how he grew up inspired by classic radio shows like Lum and Abner, pursued art despite setbacks, and eventually brought the beloved Pine Ridge characters back to life through a modern comic strip and audio adaptations. We talk about creativity, persistence, radio history, and why imagination still matters in a visual world. If you care about classic radio, cartooning, or staying true to your calling, I believe you will find this conversation both inspiring and practical. Highlights: 00:10 Discover how a childhood love of Lum and Abner sparked a lifelong dream of becoming a cartoonist. 08:00 Hear how college radio and classic broadcasts deepened a passion for old time radio storytelling. 14:33 Understand how years of teaching broadcast journalism built the skills that later fueled creative success. 23:17 Learn how the Lum and Abner comic strip was revived with family approval and brought to modern audiences. 30:07 Explore how two actors created an entire town through voice and imagination alone. 1:00:16 Hear the vision for keeping Lum and Abner alive for new generations through comics and audio.

Michael Hingson  01:21 Well, hi everyone, and welcome to another episode of unstoppable mindset. I've been looking forward to this one for a while. We have Donny Pitchford as our guest today. You're probably going, who's Donnie Pitchford? Well, let me tell you. So years ago, I started collecting old radio shows. And one of the first shows that I got was a half hour episode of a show called Lum and Abner, which is about a couple of characters, if you will, in Pine Ridge, Arkansas. And I had only heard the half hour show sponsored by frigid air. But then in 1971 when ksi, out here in Los Angeles, the 50,000 watt Clear Channel station, started celebrating its 50 year history, they started broadcasting as part of what they did, 15 minute episodes of lemon Abner. And I became very riveted to listening to lemon Abner every night, and that went on for quite a while. And so I've kept up with the boys, as it were. Well, a several years ago, some people formed a new Lum and Abner society, and Donnie Pitchford is part of that. I met Donnie through radio enthusiast of Puget Sound, and yesterday, USA. And so we clearly being interested in old radio and all that, had to have Donnie come on and and talk with us. So Donnie, or whatever character you're representing today, welcome to unstoppable mindset. Donnie Pitchford  02:58 Huh? I'm glad to be here. Michael Hingson  03:00 He does that very well, doesn't he? It's a Donnie Pitchford  03:04 little tough sometimes. Well, I'm really glad to be here. Thank you. Michael Hingson  03:10 Well, I appreciate the audio parts of lemon Abner that you you all create every week, and just the whole society. It's great to keep that whole thing going it's kind of fun. We're glad that that it is. But let's, let's talk about you a little bit. Why don't you start by telling us about the early Donnie, growing up and all that. I'm assuming you were born, and so we won't worry about that. But beyond that, think so, yeah. Well, there you are. Tell us about tell us about you and growing up and all that, and we'll go from there. Donnie Pitchford  03:42 Well, I was born in East Texas and left for a little while. We lived in my family lived in Memphis, Tennessee for about seven years, and then moved back to Texas in 1970 but ever since I was a kid this I hear this from cartoonists everywhere. Most of them say I wanted to be a cartoonist when I was five years old. So that's in fact, I had to do a speech for the Texas cartoonist chapter of the National Cartoonist Society. And that was my start. I was going to say the same thing, and the President said, Whatever you do, don't do that old bit about wanting to be a cartoonist at age five. Everybody does that, so I left that part out, but that's really what I wanted to do as a kid. And I would see animated cartoons. I would read the Sunday comics in the Memphis Commercial Appeal, and then at some point, my dad would talk about radio, and my mother would talk about listening to radio. We would have the reruns of the Lone Ranger television show and things like Sky King and other programs along those lines, and my parents would all. Way say, Well, I used to listen to that on the radio, or I would hear Superman on the radio, or Amos and Andy or whatever was being rerun at that time, and that fascinated me. And I had these vague memories of hearing what I thought were television programs coming over the radio when I was about two years old. I remember gunshots. I remember, you know, like a woman crying and just these little oddball things. I was about two years old, and I kept thinking, Well, why are we picking up television programs on my mother's radio? Turns out it was the dying gasps of what we now call old time radio. And so at least I remembered that. But when I was about, I guess eight or nine we were, my dad took me to lunch at alums restaurant in Memphis, and I saw that name, and I thought, What in the world? So what kind of name is that? And my dad told me about London Abner, and he said it reminds me. It reminded him of the Andy Griffith Show or the Beverly Hillbillies. I said, I'd love to hear that. He said, Ah, you'll never hear it. He said, those were live they don't exist, but years later, I got to hear them. So yeah, but that's how I grew up wanting to be a cartoonist and coming up with my own characters and drawing all the time and writing stories and that sort of thing. Michael Hingson  06:24 So when did you move back from Memphis to Texas? Donnie Pitchford  06:28 July 2, 1970 I just happened to look that up the other day. How old were you then? I was 12 when we came back. All right, so got into, I was in junior high, and trying to, I was trying to find an audience for these comic strips I was drawing on notebook paper. And finally, you know, some of the kids got into them, and I just continued with that goal. And I just, I knew that soon as possible, you know, I was going to start drawing comics professionally. So I thought, but kept, you know, I kept trying. Michael Hingson  07:06 So you, you went on into college. What did you do in college? Donnie Pitchford  07:11 Well, more of the same. I started listening to some old time radio shows even as far back as as high school. And I was interested in that went to college, first at a college called Kill Gore College, here in East Texas, and then to Stephen F Austin State University. And I was majoring in, first commercial art, and then art education. And I thought, well, if I can't go right into comics, you know, maybe I can just teach for a while. I thought I'll do that for a couple of years. I thought it wouldn't be that long. But while I was at Stephen F Austin State University, the campus radio station, I was so pleased to find out ran old time radio shows. This was in 1980 there was a professor named Dr Joe Oliver, who had a nightly program called theater of the air. And I would hear this voice come over the radio. He would run, he Well, one of the first, the very first 15 minute lemon Abner show I ever heard was played by Dr Oliver. He played Jack Benny. He played the whistler suspense, just a variety of them that he got from a syndicated package. And I would hear this voice afterwards, come on and say, It's jazz time. I'm Joe Oliver. And I thought, Where have I heard that voice? It was, it's just a magnificent radio voice. Years later, I found out, well, I heard that voice in Memphis when I was about 10 years old on W, R, E, C, radio and television. He was working there. He lived in Memphis about the same time we did. Heard him on the campus station at Nacogdoches, Texas. Didn't meet him in person until the late 90s, and it was just an amazing collection of coincidences. And now, of course, we're good friends. Now he's now the announcer for our audio comic strip. So it's amazing how all that came about. Well, I Michael Hingson  09:16 I remember listening to sort of the last few years of oval radio. I think it was, I don't remember the date now, whether it's 57 or 50 I think it's 57 the Kingston Trio had come out with the song Tom Dooley, and one day I was listening to K and X radio in Los Angeles. We lived in Palmdale, and I heard something about a show called suspense that was going to play the story of Tom Dooley. And I went, sounds interesting, and I wanted to know more about it, so I listened. And that started a weekly tradition with me every Sunday, listening to yours truly Johnny dollar and suspense, and they had a little bit of the FBI and peace and war. Then it's went into half and that that went off and Have Gun Will Travel came on, and then at 630 was Gun Smoke. So I listened to radio for a couple of hours every week, not every Sunday night, and thoroughly enjoyed it. And so that's how I really started getting interested in it. Then after radio went off the air a few stations out in California and on the LA area started playing old radio shows somebody started doing because they got the syndicated versions of the shadow and Sherlock Holmes with Sir John Gielgud and Sir Ralph Richardson. And I still maintain to this day that John Gielgud is the best Sherlock Holmes. No matter what people say about Basil Rathbone and I still think Sir John Gielgud was the best Sherlock Holmes. He was very, very good. Yeah, he was and so listen to those. But you know, radio offers so much. And even with, with, with what the whole lemon Abner shows today. My only problem with the lemon Abner shows today is they don't last nearly long enough. But that's another story. Donnie Pitchford  11:11 Are you talking about the comic strip adaptation? Okay, you know how long, how much art I would have to 11:21 do every week. Michael Hingson  11:25 Oh, I know, but they're, they're fun, and, you know, we, we enjoy them, but so you So you met Joe, and as you said, He's the announcer. Now, which is, which is great, but what were you doing then when you met him? What kind of work were you doing at the time? Donnie Pitchford  11:45 Well, of course, there was a gap there of about, I guess, 15 years after college, before I met him. And what ended up happening my first teaching job was an art job, a teaching art and graphic arts at a small high school in Hawkins, Texas, and that was a disaster. Wasn't a wasn't a very good year for me. And so I left that, and I had worked in the printing industry, I went back to that, and that was all during the time that the National London Abner society was being formed. And so I printed their earliest newsletters, which came out every other month. And we started having conventions in MENA, Arkansas and in the real Pine Ridge and the my fellow ossifers As we we call ourselves, and you hear these guys every week on the lemon Abner comic strip. Sam Brown, who lives in Illinois, Tim Hollis, from Alabama. Tim is now quite a published author who would might be a good guest for you one day, sure. And just two great guys. We had a third officer early on named Rex riffle, who had to leave due to various illnesses about 1991 but we started having our conventions every year, starting in 1985 we had some great guests. We brought in everybody we could find who worked with lemon Abner or who knew lemon Abner. We had their their head writer, Roswell Rogers. We had actors, I'm sure you've heard of Clarence Hartzell. He was Ben withers, of course, on the Old Vic and Sade show. He was Uncle Fletcher. We had Willard Waterman, parley Bayer, some of their announcers, Wendell Niles. And my memory is going to start failing me, because there were so many, but we had Bob's, Watson, Louise curry, who were in their first two movies. We had Kay Lineker, who was in their third movie. The list goes on and on, but we had some amazing when did Chester lock pass away? He passed away? Well, Tuffy passed away first, 1978, 78 and Chet died in 1980 sad. Neither of them, yeah, we didn't get to media. Yeah, we didn't meet either one of them. I've met Mrs. Lock I've met all of chet's children, several grandchildren. We spoke to Mrs. Goff on the phone a time or two, and also, tuffy's got toughie's daughter didn't get to meet them in person, but we met as many of the family as we could. Michael Hingson  14:32 Still quite an accomplishment all the way around. And so you you taught. You didn't have success. You felt really much at first, but then what you taught for quite a while, though, Donnie Pitchford  14:45 didn't you? Yes, I went back to the printing industry for about a year, and in the summer of 85 about two weeks before school started, I had got a call that they needed someone to teach Broadcast Journalism at. Carthage High School, and we had a department called CHS TV. I ran that for 25 years. I taught classes. We produced a weekly television program, weekly radio program. We did all kinds of broadcasts for the school district and promotional video. And then in the last I think it was the last 10 years or so that I worked there, we started an old time radio show, and we were trying to come up with a title for it, and just as a temporary placeholder, we called it the golden age of radio. Finally, we said, well, let's just use that, and I think it's been used by other people since, but, but that was the title we came up with. I think in 19 I think it was in 93 or 9495 somewhere in there. We started out. We just ran Old Time Radio, and the students, I would have them research and introduce, like, maybe 45 minutes of songs, of music, you know, from the 30s, 40s, maybe early 50s, big band and Sinatra and Judy Garland and you name it. Then, when the classes would change, we would always start some type of radio program that was pre recorded that would fill that time, so the next class could come in and get in place and and everybody participated, and they went out live over our cable television channel, and we would just run a graphic of a radio and maybe have some announcements or listing of what we were playing. And we did that for several years, usually maybe two or three times a year. And then in I think it was 2004 or so, we had an offer from a low power FM station, which was another another county over, and we started doing a Sunday night, one hour program each week. And I think we ended up doing close to 300 of those before I left. And so we got old time radio in there, one way or the other. Michael Hingson  17:03 Well, I remember. I remember, for me, I went to UC Irvine in the fall of 1968 and by the spring the last quarter of my freshman year, I had started getting some old radio shows. So started playing shows, and then in the fall, I started doing a three hour show on Sunday night called the Radio Hall of Fame, and we did radio every night. And what I didn't know until, actually, fairly recently, was our mutual friend Walden Hughes actually listened to my show on Sunday, and so did the gas means actually, but, but we had a low power station as well, but it made it up, and so people listened to it. And I've always been proud of the fact that during the fact that during the time I ran the Radio Hall of Fame, I'd heard of this show called 60 minutes with a guy named Mike Wallace, but never got to see it. And then it was only much later that I actually ended up starting to watch 60 Minutes. Course, I always loved to say I would have loved to have met, met Mike Wallace and never got to do it, but I always said he had criminal tendencies. I mean, my gosh, what do you think he was the announcer on radio for the Green Hornet, a criminal show, right? Sky King, a lot of criminals. Clearly the guy. Anyway, I would have been fun to meet him, but, Donnie Pitchford  18:31 and his name was Myron. Myron Wallach at the time. Wallach, you're right. I think that's right. Michael Hingson  18:37 But it was, it was fun and and so I've actually got some Sky King shows and green Hornets with him. So it's, it's kind of cool, but Right? You know, I still really do believe that the value of radio is it makes you imagine more. I've seen some movies that I really like for that the original Invasion of the Body Snatchers with Kevin McCarthy back in 1955 I thought was such a good movie because they didn't show the plants taking over the humans. It was all left to your imagination, which was so cool, and they changed all that in the later remake of it with Leonard Nimoy, which I didn't think was nearly as good, not nearly as suspenseful. But anyway, that's just my opinion. But radio, for me was always a and continues to be a part of what I like to do. And so I've been collecting shows and and enjoying and, of course, listening to lemon Abner, So what made you decide to finally end teaching? Donnie Pitchford  19:38 Well, you know, I could only do that so long. I was getting I was getting very tired, getting kind of burned out, and I had to have a change. There's something had to change. And I was able to take a few years early and retire, and I still the whole time I had a. That it was like a haunting feeling. I, you know, I wanted to be a cartoonist. I would pray, you know, you know, Lord, is there some way can I, can I get out of this? And can I do what I really want to do? And I had some mentors that was finally able to meet people that I would write letters to as a kid, a cartoonist and comic book editor named George Wildman was one of them. He was nice enough to answer my letters when I was a kid, and I'd send him drawings, and he would encourage me, or he would send little corrections on there, you know. And another one was a gentleman named high Eisemann, who passed away recently at age 98 on his birthday, but men like this inspired me, and that it kept at me through the years. I finally met George in 1994 at a convention of the the international Popeye fan club. And I'm I'm at high the same way, and also a writer named Nicola Cuddy, who wrote some Popeye comics. I met him the same way, same event, we all became friends, and I had a good friend named Michael Ambrose of Austin, Texas, who published a magazine devoted to the Charlton Comics company. Sadly, he's deceased now, but Mike and I were talking before I retired, and finally I got out of it. And he said, now that you're out of that job, how would you like to do some art? I said, That's what I want to do. So he gave me the opportunity to do my first published work, which was a portrait of artist George Wildman. It was on the cover of a magazine called Charlton spotlight, then I did some work for Ben Omar, who is bear Manor media publisher for some books that he was doing. One was Mel Blanc biography that Noel blank wrote, did some illustrations for that. This was all happening in 2010 and after that. So I was getting it was getting rolling, doing the kind of work I really wanted to do. And there's a gentleman named Ethan nobles in Benton, Arkansas, who wanted to interview me. I'd gotten, I don't know how he I forgot how he got in touch with me. Maybe he heard me on yesterday USA could be wanted to interview me about London Abner. And so he was starting a website called first Arkansas news. And somewhere in early 2011 we were talking, and I said, you know, you want this to be an online newspaper, right? He said, Yes. I said, What about comics? He said, I hadn't thought about that. So I said, Well, you know, you're a big Lum and Abner fan. What if we could we do a Lum and Abner comic strip? He said, Well, who would Where would I get? Who would do? And I said, Me. So I drew up some proposals, I drew some model sheets, and we did about four weeks of strips, and got approval from Chester lock Jr, and he suggested there's some things he didn't like. He said, The lum looks too sinister. He looks mean. Well, he's mad. He said he's mad at Abner. This won't happen every week. He said, Okay, I don't want LOM to be I said, Well, you know, they get mad at each other. That's part of the that's the conflict and the comedy Michael Hingson  23:30 at each other. Yeah. Donnie Pitchford  23:33 So we, we ironed it all out, and we came up with a financial agreement, and had to pay royalties and one thing and another, and we started publishing online in June 2011, and about six weeks later, the MENA newspaper, the MENA star in MENA, Arkansas, which was the birthplace of Lyman, Abner, Chet Locke and Norris Goff, they picked it up, and then we had a few other newspapers pick it up. And you know, we're not, we're not worldwide, syndicated in print, but we're getting it out there. And of course, we're always online, but and the first Arkansas news went under three or four years later, and so now we have our own website, which is Lum and Abner comics.com so that's where you can find us Michael Hingson  24:24 online. So where's Pine Ridge? Donnie Pitchford  24:28 Pine Ridge is about 18 miles from Mena, Arkansas. MENA is in western Arkansas, and Pine Ridge is about 18 miles east, I believe I'm trying to picture it in my mind, but it's it's down the road, and it actually exists. It was a little community originally named for a postmaster. It was named waters, waters, Arkansas, and in 1936 the real. At cuddleston. He was a real person who owned a store there in waters, and was friends with the locks and the golfs with their parents, as well as Chet and Tuffy. But he proposed a publicity stunt and an actual change of name to name the community Pine Ridge. So that's how that happened. Michael Hingson  25:24 Now, in the original 15 minute episodes, who is the narrator? Donnie Pitchford  25:28 Well, it depends what era their first one trying to remember. Now, Gene Hamilton was an early announcer in the Ford days, which was the early 30s. We don't have anything recorded before that. Charles Lyon was one of the early announcers, possibly for for Quaker Oats. I don't have any notes on this in front of me. I'm just going on memory here. Memory at the end of a long week. Gene Hamilton was their Ford announcer. Carlton brickert announced the Horlicks malt and milk did the commercials when they 1934 to 38 or so. Lou Crosby took over when they were sponsored by General Foods, by post them, the post them commercials, and Lou stayed with them on into the Alka Seltzer era. And his daughter, the celebrity daughter, is Kathie Lee Crosby, you may remember, right, and she and her sister Linda, Lou were a couple of our guests at the National lemon Avenue society convention in 1996 I think let's see. Crosby was Gene Baker came after Crosby, and then in the 30 minute days, was Wendell Niles. Wendell Niles, yeah, in the CBS the 30 minute series and Wendell. We also had him in Mina, super nice guy when it came, when it got into the later ones, 1953 54 I don't remember that announcer's name. That's when they got into the habit of having Dick Huddleston do the opening narration, which is why we now have Sam Brown as Dick Huddleston doing that every week. Michael Hingson  27:27 So was it actually Dick Huddleston? No, it Donnie Pitchford  27:30 was North golf, tough. He always played the part of Dick Huddleston. Okay, the only, the only time that, as far as I know, the only time the real dick Huddleston was on network radio, was at that ceremony in Little Rock Arkansas, when they changed the name of the town that the real dick Huddleston spoke at that event. And we actually, we discovered a recording of that. I was just gonna ask if there's a recording of that there is. Yeah, it's on 12 inch, 78 RPM discs. Wow. And they were probably the personal discs of lock and golf, and they weren't even labeled. And I remember spinning that thing when Sam Brown and I after we found it, it was down in Houston, and we brought them a batch of discs back, and I remember spinning that thing and hearing the theme song being played, I said, this sounds like a high school band. And suddenly we both got chills because we had heard that. I don't know if it was the Little Rock High School band or something, but it's like, Can this be? Yes, it was. It was. We thought it was long lost, but it was that ceremony. Wow. So that was a great find. Michael Hingson  28:45 Well, hopefully you'll, you'll play that sometime, or love to get a copy, but, Donnie Pitchford  28:50 yeah, we've, we have we played it on yesterday, USA. Oh, okay, so it's out there. Michael Hingson  28:57 Well, that's cool. Well, yeah, I wondered if Dick Huddleston actually ever was directly involved, but, but I can, can appreciate that. As you said, Tuffy Goff was the person who played him, which was, that's still that was pretty cool. They were very talented. Go ahead, Donnie Pitchford  29:19 I was gonna say that's basically tough. He's natural speaking voice, yeah, when you hear him as Dick Huddleston, Michael Hingson  29:24 they're very talented people. They played so many characters on the show. They did and and if you really listen, you could tell, but mostly the voices sounded enough different that they really sounded like different people all the time. Donnie Pitchford  29:41 Well, the fun thing are the episodes where, and it's carefully written, but they will, they will do an episode where there may be seven or eight people in the room and they get into an argument, or they're trying to all talk at the same time, and you completely forget that it's only two guys, because they will overlap. Those voices are just so perfectly overlapped and so different, and then you stop and you listen. So wait a minute, I'm only hearing two people at a time, but the effect is tremendous, the fact that they were able to pull that off and fool the audience. Michael Hingson  30:15 I don't know whether I'd say fool, but certainly entertained. Well, yeah, but they also did have other characters come on the show. I remember, yes, Diogenes was that was a lot of fun listening to those. Oh yeah, yeah, that was Frank Graham. Frank Graham, right, right, but, but definitely a lot of fun. So you eventually left teaching. You decided you accepted jobs, starting to do cartoons. What were some of the other or what, well, what were some of the first and early characters that you cartooned, or cartoons that you created, Donnie Pitchford  30:50 just, you mean, by myself or Well, or with people, either way, I did some things that were not published, you know, just just personal characters that I came up with it would mean nothing to anybody, but a little bit later on, I did a little bit of I did a cover for a Popeye comic book. Maybe 10 years ago, I finally got a chance to work with George Wildman, who was the fellow I talked about earlier, and it was some of the last work he did, and this was with Michael Ambrose of Argo press out of Austin, Texas. And we did some early characters that had been published by Charlton Comics. They had, they had characters, they were, they were rip offs. Let's be honest. You know Harvey had Casper the Friendly Ghost. Well, Charlton had Timmy, the timid ghost. There, there was Mighty Mouse. Well, Charlton Comics had atomic mouse, so and there was an atomic rabbit. And Warner Brothers had Porky Pig. Charlton had pudgy pig, but that was some of George's earliest work in the 1950s was drawing these characters, and George was just he was a master Bigfoot cartoonist. I mean, he was outstanding. And so Mike said, let's bring those characters back. They're public domain. We can use them. So I wrote the scripts. George did the pencil art. Well, he inked the first few, but Mike had me do hand lettering, which I don't do that much. So it was that was a challenge. And my friend high Iseman taught lettering for years and years, and so I was thinking, high is going to see this? This has to be good. So I probably re lettered it three times to get it right, but we did the very last story we did was atomic rabbit and pudgy pig was a guest star, and then George's character named brother George, who was a little monk who didn't speak, who lived, lived in a monastery, and did good deeds and all that sort of thing. He was in there, and this was the last thing we did together. And George said, you know, since I've got these other projects, he said, Do you think you can, you can ink this? So that was a great honor to actually apply the inks over George's pencil work. And I also did digital color, but those were some things I worked on, and, oh, at one point we even had Lum and Abner in the Dick Tracy Sunday comic strip, and that was because of a gentleman named Mike Curtis, who was the writer who lived in Arkansas, was very familiar with Lum and Abner, and he got in touch with me and asked, this was in 2014 said, Would it be possible for me to use Lum and Abner in a Sunday cameo? So I contacted the locks. First thing they first thing Chet said was how much I said, I don't think they're going to pay us. I felt like, Cedric, we hunt, no mom, you know. And I felt like he was squire skimp at the time, yeah, but I said, it's just going to be really good publicity. So he finally went for it, and Lum and Abner had a cameo in a Sunday Dick Tracy comic strip, and about four years later, they honored me. This was Mike Curtis, the writer, and Joe Staton, the artist, who was another guy that I grew up reading from as a teenager, just a tremendous artist, asked if they could base a character on me. And I thought, what kind of murderer is he going to be? You know, it was going to be idiot face or what's his name, you know. So no, he was going to be a cartoonist, and the name was Peter pitchblende. Off, and he was, he said his job was to illustrate a comic strip about a pair of old comedians. So, I mean, who couldn't be honored by that? Yeah, so I don't remember how long that story lasted, but it was an honor. I mean, it was just great fun. And then then I had a chance to write two weeks of Dick Tracy, which was fun. I wrote the scripts for it and and then there's some other things. I was able to work with John rose, a tremendously nice guy who is the current artist on Barney Google and Snuffy Smith. We did a story, a comic book story, on Barney Google on Snuffy Smith in a magazine called Charleton spotlight, and I did the colors, digital coloring for that. So just these are just great honors to me to get to work with people like that. And Nick Cuddy, I did some inking, lettering coloring on some of his work. So just great experience, and Michael Hingson  36:02 great people, going back to atomic rabbit and pudgy pig, no one ever got in trouble with, from Warner Brothers with that, huh? Donnie Pitchford  36:09 Well, not, not on atomic rabbit, however, pudgy pig created a problem because George was doing some art, and I think somebody from Warner Brothers said he looks too much like Porky, so the editor at the time said, make one of his ears hang down, make him look a little different. But pudgy didn't last long. Pudgy was only around maybe two or three issues of the comic book, so, but yeah, that's George. Said they did have some trouble with that. Michael Hingson  36:44 Oh, people, what do you do? Yeah, well, I know you sent us a bunch of photos, and we have some of the Dick Tracy ones and others that people can go see. But what? What finally got you all to start the whole lemon Abner society. Donnie Pitchford  37:07 Oh, well, that goes back to 1983 right, and I'll go back even farther than that. I told you that my dad had mentioned lemon Abner to me as a kid. Dr Joe Oliver played a 15 minute lemon Abner show on KSA you at Stephen F Austin State University. That got me. I was already into old time radio, but it was the next summer 1981 there's a radio station, an am station in Gilmer, Texas Christian radio station that started running Lum and Abner every day. First it was 530 in the evening, and then I think they switched it to 1215 or so. And I started listening, started setting up my recorder, recording it every day. And a friend of mine named David Miller, who was also a radio show collector, lived in the Dallas area, I would send them to him, and at first he wasn't impressed, but then suddenly he got hooked. And when he got hooked, he got enthusiastic. He started making phone calls. He called Mrs. Lock chet's widow and talked to her. He spoke to a fellow who had written a number of articles, George Lily, who was an early proponent or an early promoter of lemon Abner, as far as reruns in the 1960s and it was through George Lilly that I was put in touch with Sam Brown in Dongola, Illinois, and because he had contacted Mr. Lilly as well. And before long, we were talking, heard about this guy named Tim Hollis. Sam and I met in Pine Ridge for lemon Abner day in 1982 for the first time, and hit it off like long lost friends and became very good friends. And then in 84 I believe it was Sam and Tim and Rex riffle met again, or met for the first time together, I guess in Pine Ridge. And I wasn't there that time. But somehow, in all of that confusion, it was proposed to start the national lemon Abner society, and we started publishing the Jot them down journal in the summer of 1984 Michael Hingson  39:43 and for those who don't know the Jotham down journal, because the store that lemon Abner ran was the Jotham down store anyway, right? Donnie Pitchford  39:50 Go ahead, yes. And that was Tim's title. Tim created the title The Jotham down journal, and we started publishing and started seeking information. And it started as just a simple photocopy on paper publication. It became a very slick publication. In 1990 or 91 Sam started recording cassettes, reading the journals, because we were hearing from Blind fans that said, you know, I enjoy the journal. I have to have somebody read it to me. This is before screen readers. And of course, you know this technology better than I do, but before any type of technology was available, and Sam said, Well, I'll tell you. I'll just start reading it on tape and I'll make copies. Just started very simply, and from then on, until the last issue in in 2007 Sam would record a cassette every other month, or when we went quarterly, four times a year, and he would mail those to the the blind members, who would listen to those. And sometimes they would keep them, and sometimes they would return them for Sam to recycle. But incidentally, those are all online now, Michael Hingson  41:03 yeah, I've actually looked at a few of those. Those are kind of fun. So the London Avenue society got formed, and then you started having conventions. Donnie Pitchford  41:14 Yes, yes. First convention was in 1985 and we did a lot of things with we would do recreations. We would do a lot of new scripts, where, if we had someone that we got to the point where we would have people that hadn't worked with lemon Abner. So we would have lemon Abner meet the great Gildersleeve. Actually, Willard had worked on the lumen Abner half hour show at some point. I believe les Tremain had never worked directly with them, but he was well, he was in some Horlicks malted milk commercials in the 1930s and of course, the Lone Ranger was never on the London Abner show and vice versa, until we got hold of it. So we had Fred Foy in 1999 and he agreed to be the announcer, narrator and play the part of the Lone Ranger. So we did Lum and Abner meet the Lone Ranger, which was a lot of fun. We had parley bear, so Lum and Abner met Chester of Gun Smoke. And those were just a lot of fun to do. And Tim, Tim would write some of them, I would write some of them, or we would collaborate back and forth to come up with these scripts. Did love and amner, ever meet Superman? No, we never got to that. That would have been great. Yeah, if we could have come up with somebody who had played Superman, that would have been a lot of fun. We had lemon Abner meet Kathie Lee Crosby as herself. Yeah, they met Frank brazzi One time. That must be fun. It was a lot of fun. We had some people would recreate the characters. We had the lady who had played Abner's daughter, Mary Lee Rob replay. She played that character again, 50 years later, coming back home to see, you know, to see family. Several other things, we had London Abner meet Gumby one time. Of all things, we had Dow McKinnon as a guest. And we had Kay Lineker come back and reprise one of her roles, the role she played in the London Abner movie. Bob's Watson did that as well. Some years we didn't have a script, which I regret, but we had other things going on. We had anniversaries of London Abner movies that we would play. So whatever we did, we tailored it around our guest stars, like Dick Beals, Sam Edwards, Roby Lester, gee whiz. I know I'm leaving people out. Michael Hingson  43:52 Well, that's okay, but, but certainly a lot of fun. What? Yes, what? Cartoonist really influenced you as a child? Donnie Pitchford  44:01 Oh, wow. I would say the first thing I saw that got my attention was the Flintstones on on prime time television, you know, the Hanna Barbera prime time things certainly Walt Disney, the animation that they would run, that he would show, and the behind the scenes, things that would be on the Disney show, things like almost almost anything animated as a kid, got my attention. But Walter Lance, you know, on the Woody Woodpecker show used to have, he'd have little features about how animation was done, and that that inspired me, that that just thrilled me. And I read Fred lachel's Snuffy Smith Chester Gould's Dick Tracy. Tracy, which that was a that's why the Dick Tracy connection, later was such a big deal for me. Almost anything in the Sunday comics that was big. Foot. In other words, the cartoony, exaggerated characters are called, sometimes called Bigfoot, Bigfoot cartooning, or Bigfoot characters. Those were always the things I looked for, Bugs Bunny, any of the people that worked on those some were anonymous. And years later, I started learning the names of who drew Popeye, you know, like LZ seagar, the originator, or bud sagendorf or George Wildman, and later high eysman. But people like that were my heroes. Later on, I was interested in I would read the Batman comics, or I would see Tarzan in the newspaper. I admired the work of Russ Manning. Michael Hingson  45:49 Do you know the name Tom Hatton? Yes, I do. Yeah. Yes. Tom did Popeye shows on KTLA Channel Five when I was growing up, and he was famous for, as he described it, squiggles. He would make a squiggle and he would turn it into something. And he was right on TV, which was so much fun. Donnie Pitchford  46:09 We had a guy in Memphis who did the same thing. His name was, he's known as Captain Bill, C, A, P, you know, Captain Bill. And he did very much the same thing. He'd have a child come up, I think some, in some cases, they're called drools. Is one word for them. There was a yeah, in Tim hollis's area, there was cousin Cliff Holman who did that. And would he might have a kid draw a squiggle, and then he would create something from it right there on the spot, a very similar type of thing, or a letter of the alphabet, or your initials, that sort Michael Hingson  46:43 of thing. Yeah. Tom did that for years. It was fun. Of course, I couldn't see them, but he talked enough that I knew what was going on. It's kind of fun. My brother loved them, yeah? So later on, when you got to be a teenager and beyond what cartoonist maybe influenced you more? Donnie Pitchford  47:03 Well, I would have to say George, probably because I was corresponding with him, right? Also, I would see the work of Carl Barks, who created Uncle Scrooge McDuck and the Donald Duck comics and all that. His stuff was all in reprint at that time, he was still living, but I didn't know he could be contacted. I didn't try to write to it, right? Years later, years later, I did get an autograph, which was, was very nice. But those people, a lot of people, Neil Adams, who did Batman, the guys at Charlton Comics, Steve Ditko, who was the CO creator of spider man, but he had a disagreement with Stan Lee, and went back to Charlton Comics and just turned out 1000s of pages, but his work was was inspirational. Another was Joe Staton, who was working at Charleton comics, who I got to work with on several projects later on, and I would say just all of those guys that I was reading at the time. Pat Boyette was another Charlton artist. I tend to gravitate toward the Charlton company because their artists weren't contained in a house style. They were allowed to do their own style. They didn't pay as much. But a lot of them were either older guys that said, I'm tired of this, of the DC Marvel system. I want to just, you know, have creative freedom. Charlton said, come on. And so they would work there and less stress, less money, probably one guy named Don Newton started there and became a legend in the industry at other companies. So I found all of those guys inspiring, and I felt I could learn from all of them. Michael Hingson  48:59 Well, you always wanted to be a cartoonist. Did you have any other real career goals, like, was teaching a goal that you wanted to do, or was it just cartooning it? Donnie Pitchford  49:07 Well, it was just a secondary, you know, as I said, when I started, I thought, I'll just do that for a few years. You know, I didn't know it was going to be like 27 but I we had a lot of success. We had, I had some student groups that would enter video competitions. And for 20 straight years, we placed either first, second or third in state competition with one Summit, one entry, another or another every year. And that was notable. I mean, I give the kids the credit for that. But then about five or six of those years, we had what we call state championship wins, you know, we were like the number one project in the state of Texas. So, you know, we had some great success, I think, in that so a lot of years there, I really, you know, that was a blessing to me. Was that career, you. Well, it just, it just got to be too much time for change. After a while, Michael Hingson  50:05 was art just a talent that you had, and cartoon drawing a talent you had, or, I don't remember how much you said about did you have any real special training as such? Donnie Pitchford  50:14 Well, all of my training was, I just couldn't afford to go to a specialized school. You know, at one time, the Joe Kubert School opened just about the time I graduated high school, it was in New Jersey. I just couldn't make that happen, so I went to state colleges and universities and did the best I could. I took commercial art classes, drawing classes, design classes, even ceramics, which came in very handy when I did some sculpting here in the last eight or nine years and worked as an assistant to a sculptor named Bob harness who lives here in Carthage, but I never had any actual comic strip slash comic book training, so I learned as much of that as I could from guys like George wild. And then after I started the lemon Avenue comic strip, an artist named Joe, named Jim Amish, who worked for Marvel, did a lot of work for the Archie Comics. And tremendous anchor is his. He's really a tremendous anchor, and does a lot of ink work over other artists pencils. Jim would call and say, he said, I want to give you some advice. I'm like, okay, at 3am he's still giving me advice. So I'd go around for two or three days feeling like a failure, but then I would, I would think about all the lessons, you know, that he had told me. And so I learned a lot from Jim and tremendous, tremendous guy. And I would listen to what high, sometimes high would call up and say, Why did you use that purple beg your pardon. So it was fun. I mean, those fellows would share with me, and I learned a great deal from those guys. Michael Hingson  52:11 Are you in any way passing that knowledge on to others today? Donnie Pitchford  52:16 I don't know that I am. I've had an offer or two to do some teaching. I just don't know if I'm if I'm going to get back into that or not. Yeah, I'm so at this point, focused on, quote, unquote, being a cartoonist and trying to make that, that age five dream, a reality, that I'm not sure I'm ready to do that again. And you know, I'm not, I'm not 21 anymore. Michael Hingson  52:45 I didn't know whether you were giving advice to people and just sort of informally doing it, as opposed to doing formal teaching. Donnie Pitchford  52:51 Well, informally, yes, I mean, if anybody asks, you know, I'll be glad to share whatever I can. But yeah, I'm not teaching any classes at this point. Michael Hingson  53:01 Well, you have certainly taken lemon Abner to interesting places in New Heights. One, one thing that attracted me and we talked about it before, was in 2019, lemon Abner in Oz. That was fun. Donnie Pitchford  53:17 Well, the credit for that goes to Tim Hollis. Tim wrote that as a short story years ago when he was first interested in lemon Abner. And I don't know if he ever had that published through the International oz society or not. I don't remember, but Tim later turned that into a radio script when we had a batch of guests. This was in 2001 we had, let's see Sam Edwards, Dick Beals, Roby Lester and Rhoda Williams. And each of them had done something related to Oz, either the children's records or storybook records or animation or something. They were involved somewhere in some type of Oz adaptation. So Tim turned his short story into a radio script that we performed there at the convention. So that was a lot of fun. And then he suggested, Why don't I turn that into a comic strip story? So that's what we did. But that was fun, yeah, and we used the recordings of those people because they had given us permission, you know, to use a recording however we saw fit. The only problem is we had a mistake. The fellow that was running the sound had a dead mic and didn't know it. Oh, gosh. So some of them are bit Off mic in that audio, but we did the best. I did the best I could Michael Hingson  54:40 with it's it sounded good. I certainly have no complaints. 54:45 Thank you for that. Michael Hingson  54:47 I I said no complaints at all. I think it was really fun and very creative. And it's kind of really neat to see so much creativity in terms of all the stuff that that you do. As a cartoonist, me having never seen cartoons, but I learned intellectually to appreciate the talent that goes into it. And of course, you guys do put the scripts together every week, which is a lot of fun to be able to listen to them well. Donnie Pitchford  55:17 And that's what that was, the audience I hoped that we would would tap into right there and it, it was guys like you that would would talk to me and say, What am I going to do? You know, I can't see it. So that's why the audio idea came about. And it's taken on a life of its own, really. And we've got Mark Ridgway, who has created a lot of musical cues for us that we use and Michael Hingson  55:45 who plays the organ? Donnie Pitchford  55:47 That's Mark Ridgway. It is Mark, okay, yes, yes. And it's actually digital, I'm sure. I think it's a digital keyboard, Michael Hingson  55:55 yeah, but it is. It's a, it's a really good sounding one, though. Donnie Pitchford  55:59 Yes, yes. There are a few cues that I did, which probably are the ones that don't sound so good, like if we ever need really bad music. If you remember the story we did, and I don't remember the name of it, what do we call it anyway? Lum tries to start a soap opera. Think this was about a year ago. Yeah, and Cedric is going to play, I don't remember it was an organ or a piano, and I don't remember what he played, but whatever it was, I think was Mary Had Michael Hingson  56:32 a Little Lamb, Mary's, Mary Had a Little Lamb on the piano. Sort of kind played. Donnie Pitchford  56:35 It was played very badly, well that, yes, it was on purpose. When mom plays lum tries to play the saxophone. That was me, and I hadn't played this. I used to play the sax. In fact, I played in a swing orchestra here in Carthage, Texas for about five years back in from the early 90s. And so I had this idea, and I hadn't played the horn probably since, probably in 20 years, and his. So I got it out, and I thought, you know, it's gonna sound terrible because it needs maintenance, but it doesn't matter. It's lump playing it, so I got to play really badly. Michael Hingson  57:14 It was perfect. It was perfect, Donnie Pitchford  57:16 yeah, because it had to sound bad. Michael Hingson  57:19 How do y'all create all these different plots. I remember so many, like the buzzard, you know, and, oh yeah, that was fun. And so many. How do you come up with those? Donnie Pitchford  57:28 Well, I used to get some really good ideas while mowing the yard. Don't ask me, why? Or I get ideas. I get ideas in the weirdest thing, weirdest places. Sometimes I have ideas in the shower. You know, I said, I better write this down. Sometimes I'll wake up in the middle of the night with an idea, but there the ideas just come to me. Yeah? The buzzard was fun. I'd had that one. Pretty creative. Yeah, the one about, the one about, let me see. Oh, there was one we did, where wasn't the buzzard? What was that other one? I called the Whisper? Yeah, there was a strange voice that was coming lum thought it was coming from his radio. And he turns his radio off, and He still hears it, and it was a villain who had somehow hypnotized everyone so that they wouldn't see him and he would use his voice only. And then there's a character I came up with, and let me see Larry Gasman played it, and I called him Larry John Walden, and he was the only guy he was blind. He was the only guy that wasn't hypnotized because he couldn't see the you know, I use the old thing about the watch in front of the eyes. I mean, he was the only guy that wasn't hypnotized, so he wasn't fooled by the whisper, and he could track him, because his hearing was so acute that he was able to find him. In fact, I think he could hear his watch ticking or something like that. So he was the hero of that piece. But, well, I just, I just think up ideas and write them down. Tim Hollis has written some of the scripts, maybe three or four for me, I've adapted some scripts that London Abner did that were never broadcast or that were never recorded. Rather, I've adapted a few, written several, and I keep saying, Well, when I completely run out of ideas, I'll just have to quit. Michael Hingson  59:32 Well, hopefully that never happens. What? What are your future plans? Donnie Pitchford  59:38 Well, right now, there's nothing major in the works other than just maintaining the strip, trying to continue it, trying to make it entertaining, and hopefully doing a little work on the website and getting it into the hands of more people. And I'd like to increase. Least newspaper coverage, if at all possible. And because this thing doesn't, you know, it's got to pay for itself somehow. So you know, I'm not getting rich by any means. But you know, I want to keep it fun. I want to keep having fun with it. Hopefully people will enjoy it. Hopefully we can reach younger readers, listeners, and hopefully lemon Abner can appeal to even younger audiences yet, so that we can keep those characters going. Michael Hingson  1:00:29 Yeah, there's so much entertainment there. I hope that happens now in the the life of Donnie Pitchford. Is there a wife and kids? Donnie Pitchford  1:00:40 Yes, there's a wife of almost 40 years. We unfortunately don't have any children. We've almost feel like we adopted several children all the years we were teaching. We we've adopted several cats along the way. And so, you know, we've had cats as pets for almost ever, since we were married. But that's she's, she's great, you know, she's, she's been my best friend and supporter all these years. And we were members of first Methodist Church here in Carthage, Texas, and doing some volunteer work there, and helping to teach Sunday school, and very involved and active in that church. Michael Hingson  1:01:19 So I have a cat, and I hear her outside, not outside the house, but outside the the office here, she wants me to go feed her, and we, we shaved her yesterday because her hair gets long and Matt's very easily. So she got shaved yesterday. So she's probably seeking a little vengeance from that too, but, but my wife and I were married 40 years. She passed away in November of 2022 so it's me and stitch the cat and Alamo the dog, and Karen is monitoring us somewhere. And as I tell everyone, I've got to continue to be a good kid, because if I'm not, I'm going to hear about it. So I got to be good. But it's a lot of fun. Well, I want to thank you for being with us today. This has been a lot of fun. I've learned a lot, but it's just been great to have another podcast talking about old radio shows. And you said again, if people want to reach out, they can go to lemon Abner comics.com if people want to talk to you about doing any kind of cartooning or anything like that. What's the best way they can do that? Donnie Pitchford  1:02:24 Well, they can go to the London Abner dot lumen, Abner comics.com website, and there's a contact a link right there at the top of the page. So yeah, they can contact me through that. Probably that's the easiest way to do it. Michael Hingson  1:02:37 Okay, well, I want to thank you again for being here, and I want to thank all y'all out there. That's how they talk in Texas, right? It's all y'all for everybody. Donnie Pitchford  1:02:46 Well, some of them do, and some of them in Arkansas do too. Well, yeah. Michael Hingson  1:02:49 And then there's some who don't, yeah, y'all means everything, and it Speaker 1  1:02:54 don't, yeah, I don't think squire skimp says it that way. Michael Hingson  1:02:58 Well, Squire, you know, whatever it takes. But I want to thank you all for being here, and please give us a five star rating wherever you're listening or watching the podcast. Donnie would appreciate it.

Les journalistes et experts de RFI répondent également à vos questions sur un scrutin tibétain surveillé par la Chine et la volonté américaine d'une transition au Venezuela. Sénégal : l'affaire Doudou Wade, une judiciarisation de la parole critique ?   Doudou Wade, une figure du Parti démocratique sénégalais, a été convoqué et entendu ce lundi (2 février 2026) par la police. Pendant neuf heures, il a dû s'expliquer sur les propos qu'il a tenus lors d'une émission télévisée diffusée la semaine dernière. En analysant des épisodes historiques, il avait alors affirmé que certaines républiques avaient été « sauvées » par des coups d'État ou par l'intervention de l'armée. Pourquoi ces propos font-ils autant polémique ? L'ancien député risque-t-il d'être poursuivi par la justice ? Avec Léa-Lisa Westerhoff, correspondante permanente de RFI à Dakar.      Tibet : pourquoi Pékin cherche à décrédibiliser le vote de la diaspora ?    Les Tibétains du monde entier sont appelés à renouveler leur Parlement et à désigner le chef de leur gouvernement en exil, basé en Inde. Pourquoi la Chine considère-t-elle cette élection comme « une farce » alors qu'elle se déroule à l'étranger ? Ce scrutin est-il avant tout symbolique ou a-t-il une véritable portée politique ? Les autorités chinoises craignent-elles que ce vote donne plus de poids politique aux Tibétains en exil ?  Avec Clea Broadhurst, correspondante permanente de RFI à Pékin.       Venezuela : la transition voulue par Trump, une utopie ou une réalité imminente ?   Un mois après l'enlèvement du président Nicolas Maduro, la nouvelle cheffe de mission diplomatique des États-Unis au Venezuela, Laura Dogu, a évoqué lors de sa première rencontre avec la présidente par intérim, Delcy Rodriguez, la nécessité d'une « transition » dans le pays.

La intervención estadounidense en Venezuela ha vuelto a poner el foco en la violencia que golpea la frontera colombo-venezolana, en la que operan grupos armados y crimen organizado. En el lado colombiano, la región fronteriza del Catatumbo, los enfrentamientos entre guerrillas están desplazando hacia Cúcuta miles de personas. Nuestras enviadas especiales Melissa Barra y Marine de la Moissonière fueron a su encuentro. María amamanta a su bebita enferma en el Centro Regional de Atención a Víctimas en la ciudad de Cúcuta. No tiene cómo darle tetero. Su familia huyó sin pertenencias de su vereda cerca del municipio de Tibú, ubicado en el departamento de Norte de Santander: el corazón del Catatumbo. Los niños están atemorizados. Han visto actuar a los grupos armados que utilizan uniformes militares. “Ella mira a alguien uniformado y le da miedo. Los niños de 14 y de 8 años también han visto muertos allá. El día que nos fuimos también había”, dice María a RFI. 800 familias del Catatumbo han sido desplazadas a Cúcuta en estas dos semanas, al menos las que logran extraerse. “El niño de 8 años tenía una fiebre que no se le quitaba. Y ella, con esa tos que no se le quita. Nos tocó salir con mi marido en una moto. No nos querían dejar pasar. Miraron al niño enfermo y los dos grupos que se estaban enfrentando nos dejaron pasar”, recuerda del pasado 25 de diciembre. “Me da cosa decir sus nombres”, responde María a la pregunta: “¿Qué grupos?”. Aquí no hay que hablar más de la cuenta. Incluso en la ciudad, hay informantes por todas partes, ya sea del ELN o de las disidencias de las FARC, las dos guerrillas que se enfrentan por el control territorial en el Catatumbo, y ahora con drones. La guerra empezó hace un año con miles de desplazados. Los civiles se vuelven carne de cañón; los líderes de las comunidades, un blanco. "Que me tienen que matar" Los líderes sociales desplazados se reúnen a escondidas. Comandantes de una u otra guerrilla los tienen amenazados. En el celular tienen videos en los que aparecen guerrilleros citando nombres de presidentes de asociaciones de Juntas de Acción Comunal, las organizaciones comunitarias locales, acusándolos de ser “instigadores”. “Richard Suárez, del Frente 33 de las disidencias de las FARC, me expone, me visibiliza. Directamente tengo amenazas. Él está pagando para saber dónde está mi ubicación. Porque dice que yo soy del ELN y que me tienen que matar”, asegura uno de ellos. Las autoridades eclesiásticas gozan de mayor respeto en el Catatumbo, en cierta medida. Negocian con los grupos armados para ayudar a la población. No es sencillo, explica Israel Bravo Cortés, obispo de la diócesis de Tibú desde hace cuatro años. “Se activó con la ayuda de la Defensoría del Pueblo, de la ONU y de la Iglesia, una comisión humanitaria en estos casos de retención de personas, de situaciones muy concretas de firmantes de paz, de dificultades que se han presentado para las comunidades”, explica a RFI. “Los dos grupos dicen que ellos no reclutan menores, pero uno sí ve muchas caras jóvenes, de 14 años”, dice. “Después, también cuando estos jóvenes desean salirse, hay que hacer todo un proceso para que los puedan dejar salir de las filas”. Hace parte de su misión. Presencia militar La ausencia del Estado está en boca de todos. “Cuando uno dice estas cosas, pues todo el mundo piensa que mayor presencia del Estado significa llenar de militares el territorio”, rechaza monseñor Bravo. Educación, salud, infraestructuras y proyectos para la sustitución de cultivos es lo que reclama. “El Catatumbo tiene más o menos 50.000 hectáreas de coca. Que el que esté mostrando deseos de cambiarse de cultivo, pues tenga unas mejoras de condición de su casa, de su batería sanitaria, de sus aguas residuales; cosas que en el contexto uno no ve que se estén haciendo”, deplora el obispo. Leer tambiénColombia: Cúcuta militarizada y 30.000 militares desplegados Tras la extracción de Maduro, muchos temen que el Estado descuide el Catatumbo, distraído por Estados Unidos y Venezuela. El gobierno anunció 30.000 soldados en la frontera colombo-venezolana, pero desde la región constatan poca presencia militar en las veredas atacadas.

En 6AM de Caracol Radio estuvo el Ministro de Defensa, Pedro Sánchez, quien dio detalles de los 5 policías secuestrados en en la vía que comunica a Cúcuta con Tibú en Norte de Santander

Los habitantes del Catatumbo despidieron el año como lo recibieron: atrapados en el fuego cruzado entre la guerrilla del ELN y el Frente 33 de las disidencias de las desmovilizadas FARC. Esta crisis humanitaria, la peor que vive hoy Colombia, afecta a unas 86.000 personas. Líderes campesinos denuncian falta de protección a la población civil, contradicciones del Gobierno y una crisis humanitaria sin respuestas eficaces en una de las regiones más golpeadas de Colombia. Entrevista con Juan Carlos Quintero, vocero de la Asociación Campesina del Catatumbo (Ascamcat).  El Catatumbo está localizado en el nororiente de Colombia, principalmente en el departamento de Norte de Santander, y limita al norte y al este con Venezuela. Se caracteriza por su relieve montañoso y selvático, atravesado por el río Catatumbo y sus afluentes, que desembocan en el lago de Maracaibo. Con al menos 43.000 hectáreas de coca sembradas, es una de las regiones más impactadas por las economías ilícitas. Su historia combina conflicto armado persistente y abandono por parte de las políticas oficiales. La última ola de violencia comenzó a inicios de 2025 con una masacre en el municipio de Tibú. En el último día del año, un hospital del corregimiento de Filo Gringo fue blanco de un ataque con drones que dejó cinco personas heridas, dos de ellas menores de edad. En la región se han registrado ataques a hospitales, civiles heridos en medio de los enfrentamientos, más de 78.000 desplazados forzosamente, cerca de 300 casos de violencia sexual y medio centenar de reclutamientos forzados, muchos de ellos de menores de edad. Juan Carlos Quintero, de la Asociación Campesina del Catatumbo, fue uno de los dirigentes sociales que alertaron al Gobierno colombiano y a la ONU sobre el agravamiento de la situación en el último trimestre del año. RFI: Usted advirtió que la situación iba a recrudecer. ¿Ha sido así? Estamos a puertas de cumplir un año desde que se agudizó la crisis humanitaria en el Catatumbo, con el inicio de los enfrentamientos entre el Frente 33 y el Ejército de Liberación Nacional. Nos vuelve a pasar lo mismo que hace un año: se advirtió, pero el Gobierno y el Estado en su conjunto no tomaron las medidas necesarias para proteger a la población civil. Desde el pasado 25 de diciembre se ha intensificado la contraofensiva del Frente 33 en los municipios de Tibú y El Tarra. Esto ha dejado miles de familias confinadas, un fin de año muy negro, con muchos combatientes muertos de lado y lado, sobre todo jóvenes de nuestra comunidad. También se ha registrado destrucción de bienes civiles, como casas, iglesias y puestos de salud, especialmente en Tibú. RFI: Además de la presencia militar y del Puesto de Mando Unificado anunciado por el Ministerio de Defensa al comenzar el año, ¿qué otras medidas ha tomado el Gobierno? Nos sorprenden mucho esos anuncios porque no coinciden con lo que ocurre en el terreno. El Catatumbo es una de las zonas más militarizadas del país, pero pareciera que hubiera una operación de brazos caídos por parte de las Fuerzas Armadas. Primero, porque no están cumpliendo su deber constitucional de proteger a la población civil y, segundo, porque no están interviniendo de manera eficaz en la confrontación. En cuanto a las medidas del Gobierno, hubo una declaratoria de conmoción interior con un propósito distinto al represivo. Este Gobierno acudió a esa herramienta con una causa noble. Se trataba de 18 decretos reglamentarios que buscaban recaudar recursos y poner en marcha políticas públicas para superar la crisis. Pero, desafortunadamente, la Corte Constitucional tumbó la mayoría de esos decretos, lo que impidió que la crisis se atendiera de manera oportuna. Por ejemplo, había un decreto orientado a fortalecer los procesos de sustitución de cultivos de uso ilícito, con mayor respaldo financiero a los programas, algo clave para el Catatumbo, donde las economías ilícitas son uno de los principales factores del conflicto. RFI: ¿Era necesario acudir a un decreto de conmoción interior o se podían tomar medidas desde otros organismos del Estado? Claro que se podían tomar otras medidas. Lo que pasa es que los decretos de conmoción interior potenciaban la acción institucional, y esa era la buena intención que luego fue frenada por la Corte Constitucional. Pero también existen deberes constitucionales y otras herramientas que el Ejecutivo puede usar, y nosotros consideramos que lo que se ha hecho sigue siendo insuficiente. Por ejemplo, no es lógico que el Gobierno haya extendido por decreto, el 23 de diciembre, la zona de ubicación temporal para el Frente 33 y, al mismo tiempo, se haya lanzado una contraofensiva en el territorio. Eso no genera confianza en la paz. Otro ejemplo: hace un mes, el Frente 33 del Estado Mayor Central, una de las disidencias de las extintas FARC, firmó un protocolo de protección a la población civil. Sin embargo, hace apenas cuatro días, el corregimiento de Filo Gringo fue atacado y no hubo una exigencia contundente del Gobierno nacional. Nuestras críticas apuntan a la falta de rigor y seriedad en estos procesos de paz. Si no sirven para lo más importante, que es proteger a la población civil, entonces están fallando en su objetivo central.

El presidente Gustavo Petro ha realizado significativos cambios en la cúpula militar de Colombia, designando nuevos altos mandos en respuesta a recientes crisis de seguridad. Entre los nombramientos destaca el general Hugo Alejandro López Barreto como nuevo comandante del comando general de las fuerzas militares, reemplazando al almirante Francisco Cubides. Este movimiento se produce tras incidentes de violencia en municipios como Buenos Aires y Aguachica, donde se evidenció la falta de reacción de las fuerzas militares. La decisión busca fortalecer la defensa de la democracia y mejorar la capacidad de respuesta ante amenazas. Con un enfoque en la seguridad, el nuevo liderazgo militar enfrenta el reto de restaurar el orden público en un contexto de creciente violencia y desabastecimiento en regiones afectadas por grupos armados. La situación en áreas como Tibú y El Tarra es crítica, con denuncias de desabastecimiento de alimentos y medicamentos. Este análisis detalla los cambios y sus implicaciones para la seguridad nacional.

In deze aflevering duiken we in React2Shell, de kwetsbaarheid die recent flink wat chaos veroorzaakte op het internet. China zet vol in op uitbuiting, en Cloudflare gooide per ongeluk een deel van het internet plat in hun poging de boel te mitigeren. Daarna bespreken we een rapport van Amazon Threat Intelligence over Sandworm, de beruchte Russische hackersgroep. We leggen uit wie ze zijn, wat ze doen, en hoe ze kritieke infrastructuur op AWS aanvielen met methodieken die afwijken van waar ze normaal om bekendstaan. We sluiten af met Nederlands nieuws: TIB en CTIVD gaan samensmelten tot één organisatie. Wat betekent deze fusie voor onze cybersecurity en inlichtingendiensten? We verkennen het samen met gast Jan Jaap Oerlemans.

durée : 00:05:56 - Le Grand Reportage - par : Aurélie Kieffer - 2025 est une année particulière pour les Tibétains. Elle résonne avec les 75 ans de l'invasion chinoise, et le 90e anniversaire de leur figure spirituelle, le dalaï-lama.

Nous sommes le 15 juillet 1946, à Oberursel, en Allemagne, au N-O de Francfort. C'est ce jour-là que naît officiellement l'Organisation Gehlen (Org). Du nom de Reinhard Gehlen, ancien chef du service de renseignement militaire allemand sur le front de l'Est, durant la Seconde Guerre mondiale. A la fin du conflit, les dirigeants américains, en manque d'informations fiables sur l'URSS, se sont montrés très intéressés par l'expertise de ce militaire de carrière qui a gravi les échelons de la Wehrmacht. A l'été 1945, lui et ses hommes sont secrètement transférés aux États-Unis. L'Org va donc se concentrer sur le renseignement antisoviétique et sera financée par les Américains, notamment par la CIA.

Dana and I are back at it again today ⁓ with our podcasting spirits behind us and we are so excited to be here with you guys today. Gosh Dana, this is like the beginning of summer for us right now and no matter where you're at in the country, I think you've either been on summer for a few weeks or you're just barely getting there. feel like summer breaks are wild. Like Brody is in school two weeks past my niece. Like it's just been crazy but.   The most fun part about this for both of us is that, I don't know if you guys know this or not, we get asked this question a lot, where is your headquarters? Like, where are you guys based out of? And Dana and I, Britt and I, gosh, I think most of the consultants at this point are in Arizona. Our HQ is actually Reno, Nevada, but we work from home. So, fun part about podcasting during the summer is that each of us have some sort of little or family member or someone   At the door honestly like I had to text in our you know got a family chat go and that's like hey guys FYI and Dana's like let me put a sign on the door so Dana welcome I know I know being a mom is something that lights both of us up and I think one of the best I don't know most I don't know it was like fun parts of our relationship is being able to also laugh about what it's like to be a mom in   Arizona in the sports and in the summer and I love that about the two of us and Dana tell me what has what's the start of summer looking like for you guys over there you've got your I have it easy I will never never discredit the amount of moming that you do over there so tell me how is mom life today Dana   Dana (01:47) it's good. You know, I mean,   it's wild, right? Like, there's a beauty of being able to work from home in that, like, I can very quickly throw chicken nuggets out the door and everybody is fed, right? Yes. But they like all summer long, there are no go zones, depending on what I am doing during the day. So like, if I am on calls, the front room is off limits, because it's directly beside my office. And so I can hear everything that you do.   The Dental A Team (01:58) You just turn them down the whole way, get it. Yep.   I love   that.   Dana (02:17) So I'm constantly like chunking my windows of time as to like where they can be in the house and I've had to put signs up because my neighbor kids also want to come get my kids and I'm like well we just can't knock on the door right now.   The Dental A Team (02:31) Yeah,   yeah, please just give us a moment. I love that. And honestly, though, it's kind of ⁓ like time blocking for practices, right? Because like, when can you do certain procedures? Like you don't want, you know, sedation in the front room with everybody walking by, you've got to have a very specific place for the sedation and a very specific, like no-go zone of do not pass this line once we've started. So it kind of kind of makes me think   Dana (02:34) Yeah.   question.   The Dental A Team (02:59) of how synchronistic life is in general. I say this a lot, with clients that tell us work-life balance, right? We just talked to a client about this together recently, and I'm like, goodness gracious, like we just need a life-life balance, because if we take the systems that work in whatever aspect of life it's coming to you, and if you've got systems that are working at work,   you can probably duplicate them at home and vice versa. If you have systems that are working at home, you can probably take that same thought and that same theory and apply it at work. And it works truly like tremendously because your brain's already wired to think that way. So when you can just stop trying to recreate the wheel and use what you know works, applying it in all areas of your life, things just are easy. I feel like that's how you create easy discipline.   and how you create easy habits. So taking that like time blocking and room blocking and like, guys, from these hours, this is what you're gonna be doing. It's very similar. Billing, you know, all those things. Billing coordinators need to be like, don't bother me between these hours. It's just like, you've got your kids on the other side. I tell doctors constantly or office managers, leadership teams that people are people. We learn how we learn. And if we look at how we teach our children, we can duplicate that.   Dana (03:59) Yeah.   Thank you.   The Dental A Team (04:18) in training systems as well. So Dana, I just spiraled my whole brain right there. I love it. Thank you. Thanks for being such an incredible mom. You are truly impressive. And for those of you who don't know, she's got a slew of children and animals and happenings at her home constantly. And the way that you manage all of that truly is impressive. I think you're an incredible person, Dana.   Dana (04:41) Thank you, Tib. It is a whole lot of winging it. So I appreciate that.   The Dental A Team (04:44) But winging   it, I mean, I think we all wing it when it comes to parenting. I don't think anybody actually knows the step-by-step on what we're doing. So we're all winging it and we're all doing the best that we can, but you also make time for you. You make time for work. You make time for making sure that you're prioritizing what makes you happy and fulfilled because I think that is then teaching your children to do the same and it's super cool to watch. So having an almost grown kid.   I live vicariously through you watching you parent your children and it's super fun from over here. So thanks. Thanks for continuing to have more for us. I'm here for it. I'm here for it. And I hope all of you are here for it too. know you guys, I know you guys get a kick out of my questions I give to Dana because Dana just intrigues me her life and really her choices intrigue me. She's always got something that I'm like, give me all the goods. What can I do now? Brody brought home a soda the other day or I guess the water.   Dana (05:11) you   Keep enjoying the video, Jeff.   you   The Dental A Team (05:38) that you had mentioned a couple weeks ago and I was like, oh my gosh, I know what that is because Dana told me. So you guys, she's here for the tips. If you want them, write in, ask them. Ask Dana, go on Instagram on Mondays now I think it is. Mondays or Fridays, it pops up all week for me. I find them, but she's on there too you guys. She's constantly just divvying out the tips. Find Dana, she's our tip master. And today I'm going to pick your brain some Dana. I want to talk about really effectively   Dana (05:41) you   The Dental A Team (06:06) running a practice through an office manager. And doctors, I don't want you to hear that and think, OK, I don't have to listen to this. Let me go get my manager. Nope, this is for all of you guys. This is for everyone. This is for dentists, owners, office managers, leadership, anyone aspiring to become an office manager, anyone aspiring to just give good tips to the team. Office management can come in varying sizes. And the label office manager, we found even just in hiring consultants, right?   hiring when we were in practice that office manager really doesn't have a good definition for it in the industry. Anything can be an office manager. Most of the time, Dana, maybe you could speak to this as well, I have found that the office manager position, like quote unquote there, usually narrows into billing or dealing with upset patients and really doesn't broaden outside of that. Have you found that as well, Dana? Yeah.   Dana (07:04) Mm Yeah. Yep.   And I usually feel like anytime it is promoted within right, it's typically like, well, she's really good in those insurance. So yeah, yep, I agree with you. Sometimes, you know, yeah, there's some HR pieces added in there or like, you know, I, but I feel like it does encompass mostly keeping track of AR and the money, which is fine.   The Dental A Team (07:11) Yeah.   Yeah, yeah, I agree. I think that's one aspect of it, right? And being able to oversee everything. So there's different avatars for a billing representative, a billing person, and most other positions in the practice. That's gonna come with a different kind of avatar. So depending on the type of office manager that you want in your practice, that's gonna be making a decision there on what your avatar is going to look like. And for us, your office manager in your practice is really helping to run the practice. think Dental A Team considers an office manager   like a secondary owner almost, right? You're looking at it as this is my practice. This is something that I'm fully invested in growing and I love it the same as I would if it were my own business. So that kind of investment really comes from a certain personality type and a certain leadership type. So that style of office manager is really what we're speaking to today. And there's nothing wrong with any type of office manager, any style, any avatar, like you do whatever your business needs.   is what your avatar needs to look like. So today we're speaking towards that different kind of mindset of really growing the practice and being fully invested in it. The reason that we look at it that way is we really think that there's two different minds between a dentist and the office manager that needs to push the agenda of the practice. Our dentist is kind of our idea maker. They're the person who's just coming up with all of the plans. And I think we all   can name a few of these. have one on our team. Ms. Kierdent is fantastic at this. She has the brains and the ideas behind most of the things that we do. And they're just shouting things out, right? They're like, my gosh, we could do this. We could do that. We could do this. And the team is like, stop changing things. Well, when you leave the practice management up to the dentist who's there to create ideas, and there's no one there to filter ideas through,   and to project manage when things do make it past go and we're like, yes, we're gonna do this. When it's all on the doctor, you are gonna suffer those changes consistently because no one's there to say, hey, is this projecting us towards the goals we're working on or is this confusing us and keeping us from reaching those goals? So then we do have teams that are in constant chaos and constant change and they're like, Dana, I can't take another word from this doctor. It's like, well, that's.   We gotta get the doctor out of that position. So that's the type of office manager we're speaking to today is a type of office manager that can say, yes, that's a fantastic idea. Let's see where it will take us. Is this going to push us towards those goals? I have to just brag a little on a client that I've worked with for a while now. Near and dear to my heart, like just two of my favorite humans in the whole world. And honestly, their whole practice is full of some of my favorite humans, but.   not that they didn't start as my favorite humans, but they didn't start there, right? They didn't start where they are today, years later. They started in a very different position. And when they came to me, their goals were to grow production. were like, everybody's goal, right? I want to grow production, which actually means I want to grow collections, right? I want more income. We want more saved on the side. They wanted to reinvest in the building. They wanted to do a little bit of a build out, but they knew that they didn't have a lot of space, so they needed to work with what they had.   And the dentist who was there, he really, really wanted to be a dentist. He loves having a business, but entrepreneurship just is a path for his dentistry. So he truly wants to be a dentist, and he wanted to do more surgery. He wanted to do more involved dentistry. So I was like, fantastic. Office manager, let's talk. Now this specific office manager had never been in dentistry before, at all.   at all, very different career path. could tell you all about it on a whole, it would take a whole podcast because the career is just so cool. Very different career path, probably about as far from dentistry as you could possibly get. And he made the decision to support the doctor and said, I'm going to figure this out. And he was a great manager, right? He managed expectations, but really felt stressed out, second guessed his decision.   He's like, don't think this was right for me. I don't think I'm cut out for this. And I was like, well, let's test the waters. Let's see. And we went down a journey together that has changed, I think, the course of both of our lives, probably. It's just been so cool to take this journey with them. But taking an office manager, Dana's done this too. I think all of us at some point have taken an office manager who's never worked in dentistry before and helped to create an amazing office manager.   So all of you dentists who are like, well, they don't have experience. It's not always necessary if the other pieces are there and if the dentistry can be taught if there's space for it. So keep that in mind. I don't I'm not telling you go find someone with no experience. I'm not telling you you have to have experience. Like I'm telling you it's just got to fit for you. This specific manager and a couple others that I've worked with didn't have that experience. And what we worked on then was what it takes to be an office manager, which is actually leadership.   And Dana, I know you work on this a lot with a lot of practices, starting with the leadership and really becoming the person that a team can look up to, starting with the culture and creating what you want your practice to look like. Because without that, Dana's freaking systems queen. But Dana, how difficult is it to create systems for a practice that we can't imagine what we want it to look like?   as compared to being able to imagine what we want the business and the practice to look like and what the leadership should look like, then the system's followed. Which do you feel like in your experience, especially with an office manager who's never been trained in dentistry, which do you feel like is the path that you take the most frequently?   Dana (13:06) Thank   ⁓ hands down it's building the vision and figuring out what you want because anywhere in dentistry when it comes to the schedule when it comes to your leadership team when it comes to goals like you have to know what you're trying to achieve before you build the pieces to achieve it   The Dental A Team (13:41) Yeah, exactly. And I think a lot of people start with the systems, right, Dana? And that's where it gets really confusing. And it's like, the systems are so tailored to an individual. Systems are so tailored to a specific practice, and that practice is goals. So when you start out just blanket systems, it could be anything. You could create anything, and it will or won't work. It's it's hard to tell. It's like throwing spaghetti at a wall and hoping that it sticks, that it's done.   you just, don't know. But when you have a vision and you can create something that supports that vision, which you want that to ultimately look like, you're able to custom tailor it. And that's what we were able to do with this practice and working side by side with the office manager in leadership, teaching him how to speak to people, how to have conversations hard or easy, how to invest in other people and really showing him or giving him the opportunity to see what it feels like.   when you put yourself aside and you put someone else almost ahead of you without it being ahead of you. Like that's hard to say out loud. Like him investing in his team and his team's success in the practice gave him such a high, I couldn't even stop, like his trajectory. He was just running because he felt so good about having this higher purpose. And his higher purpose truly turned out to be   investing in ⁓ leading and guiding his team members for them to be their best selves. So within that, we learned, ⁓ what he learned is really like hiring and firing the systems behind a five star patient experience, the handoffs, like what creates this relationship that I'm having with my team members, with my team members and my patients. So it started to spin once we got some really good leadership footholds in there, some really good communication skills and practicing.   ⁓ weeding out the team members that didn't need to be there and replacing them with team members that should be there, narrowing down those avatars, narrowing all of this down. He was really able to see how the slightest movements that he made truly affected every piece of the practice. He would move one needle just slightly. I always think of implant torquing, right? Like two millimeters is a lot when it comes to an implant. And that two millimeter change in a system   or in a statement or a word that you use can create a massive difference. It's the success or the failure of an implant. And same goes for everything you do in life. said earlier, everything you do, you just duplicate it. So if you're making a two millimeter change on an implant, what's going to happen in that respect when it comes to words, to leadership, and to guidance? And he truly took all of that and invested in people. And he said, hey, I'm learning too. Help me learn. And he got his team on board. It's been.   Incredible to see their success and so between the leadership and then the systems which gosh guys we talk systems constantly Dana Dana we did NDTR I Mean you guys are basic our basic core systems of Dental A Team truly work and they are case in point leadership is an ideal leadership is kind of that like personal side of it, there's not a   Dana (16:43) you   The Dental A Team (16:59) black and white, follow these steps and now you're a great leader. It's a learning system. It's something that is in you, something you have to desire, something you have to want. But the core systems, the handoffs, the NDTR, the ICRP, the communicating between team members, ⁓ gosh, blocked scheduling. We implemented blocked scheduling. We implemented time management skills. We implemented avatars for every team member, avatars for our patients, marketing.   All of the core pieces of what Dental A Team has to offer, we've implemented with this practice and gained his leadership skills as well as an entire team full of leaders at this point. They have leaders of departments, but you guys, every single team member on their team is a leader because they are manning their ships and they're acting as if they're leaders for the good of the practice overall. And it's been incredible. So that first year we worked on core systems of NDTR.   blocked scheduling and just literally ICRP handoffs to your side. Leadership in conjunction with that. So getting rid of some team members that no longer fit the needs of the practice or just weren't on board with the trajectory, replaced some great new team members in there, got them trained up. And you guys within that first year, remember their goals were to increase production, start a build out, right? And get the doctor doing dentistry.   So we were able to remove the doctor from a lot of those pieces, a lot of the decisions that he didn't have to make, we took them away from him. He didn't have to make them anymore and he trusted doctors, he trusted the process, he trusted the office manager. So things that the office manager could decide that if, you know what, if the office manager decided incorrectly, could be fixed, right? Or it's like, it's not that big of a deal. We could have gone the other way, but it's not that big of a deal, okay? Strategically moving those decisions over to the office manager.   We started doing that so that the doctor was in the chair more. He increased his surgery so much, you guys. increased, they were able to with one doctor and two hygienists, they were able to increase their production by $800,000 that first year just by narrowing down the systems and the leadership, getting the right people in the right seats, getting the right systems in place, using them and really knowing where they were going. And that first year was incredible. Stack on top of that.   They've decreased the decisions from the doctor, increased the amount of productivity that he was able to do without, by the way, expanding his hours. He stayed within the same hours. And we also, the end of that first year, got them ready for that associate space because they wanted to see that expansion. So they started the conversations on what it looked like to expand the physical building, and then what is it going to look like to add another dentist. And we projected.   five years out and then worked backwards on one, three and five years of even down to like how many hygienists and how many assistants will we need to hire? What will your overhead cost be based on current employee numbers, et cetera, all of those pieces. And we were able to just spear this incredible trajectory of growth, not even just for their first year, but gosh, five years later now, Dana, you know, they've got this massive building. They have impacted the community.   so much. Like there are people that come up to them on the streets of their community and thank them for what they were able to do for a friend or a family member, not even for themselves. They have had literal strangers say, I know who you are and you changed my friend's life. Like that's crazy, Dana, crazy. And to think that it started from leadership skills, just from someone who is invested in that blows my mind, you know?   Dana (20:53) Yeah, yeah. And I think that it's when you have an office manager that can make a mindset shift of leading versus managing, right?   And I know it's called an office manager, right? So we can kind of get ourselves stuck in that place, but it's like managing is the tasks, right? That's the tasks, the leadership, right? That's the people and the culture. And when you have those pieces running smoothly, then the task part becomes so much easier. And so I do feel like that is when you have a manager who is focused on the people, the culture and leading.   leading to the tasks versus like being the one that feels like they have to complete all the tasks themselves.   The Dental A Team (21:35) Yeah, yeah,   that's a great point. I love that because that's massive, I think for everyone listening. you've got, gosh, like if there's KPIs on you, right? There's a measurable that you're responsible for. I think one of the biggest things that we do really well, is getting people to understand you don't have to do all of the pieces to create that result. You just have to make sure the result happens.   To your point, a lot of managers and lot of doctors who are managing hold it all to themselves in order to manage the results to get the right result. But then we end up not having space for whatever it is that we need to get done, right? And we get lost in that and it gets a little chaotic. I know I've done that. I did that as a manager in practice and my team suffered tremendously because I kept everything. So one, I was not empowering my team.   I was basically telling them that they couldn't do it, right? They didn't know how to do it. I could do it better. I was overworked, overburdened and burnt out. I was angry constantly. Like I woke up one day and I was like, this is not who I am. What have I done? What have I done and how can I change this? And it was that exact thing. It was the fact that when you become an office manager, sometimes it feels like you're supposed to do all of the things.   And we forget that we have an entire team of people who want to help us. And I think Dana doctors do that too. We've seen that as well. And coaching them out of that, think is sometimes part of our biggest jobs as consultants. The biggest contributor is coaching them out of holding all of the cards to themselves. Would you agree?   Dana (23:26) Yeah, yep, absolutely.   The Dental A Team (23:28) Yeah. Well, guys, I know that sometimes we can chat and you can say, gosh, I see myself in that. I hear that. I've done that. ⁓ Or I want to do that or something similar. So I hope that today you heard something that you can take for face value, something that you can utilize if it's systems that you need to go back to. You guys, there's a slew of podcasts all over the place. We have a million of them.   Just search NDTR if you don't know what that is. We're not explaining it today because we've done it a million times. So search it on our website, you guys, on our website, TheDentalATeam.com. can go to podcasts and then you can search within our podcast. So search some of those systems, you guys. Search Avatar. Search all of those pieces and figure out where are you at right now and how can you guide yourself towards those goals. Dana, thank you so much for doing this podcast with me.
