Podcasts about Welles

Hey everyone, James Scully here, producer and host of Breaking Walls, the docu-podcast on the history of US Network Radio Broadcasting. I wanted to let you know about a new webinar I'm doing next Thursday August 14th at 7PM eastern time. It's the final part of a 3-part mini series on Orson Welles' life and career. "Orson Welles' Career, Part 3: Welles In Europe (1948 - 1956)," is on an often-forgotten and underrated part of Orson Welles' career during his years living and working in Europe. It will focus on the radio, screen, and stage work he was involved in during this time, complete with visuals and audio clips. Here's a link to register — https://www.eventbrite.com/e/orson-welles-career-part-3-welles-in-europe-1948-1956-webinar-tickets-1445320836529?aff=oddtdtcreator If you can't make, don't worry, I'll be emailing all who register a video of the webinar once its done so you can watch it later. And if you missed the first two parts of this webinar series (Part 1 was on his early career and Part 2 focused on late 1941 through 1948), I'll email you a video link to watch the first two presentations (for free) when you register for the Part 3 event. Here's an overview of the webinar: Throughout the last one-hundred years of American entertainment, few people have gotten as strong a reaction as Orson Welles. A rare quadruple threat: writer, director, actor, producer, Welles found immense success on stage, in films, on television, and in radio. In fact, he took center stage in the United States on more than one occasion… and not always to a positive reaction, but always with pushing the creative envelope in mind. Welles managed to alienate the newspaper industry, the Hollywood studio system, and occasionally even the broadcasting networks, but he rarely had a door closed in his face. Welles was known to work himself to the bone, and party even harder. He had romances with some of the most famous and attractive women in the country, including Virginia Nicholson, Dolores del Rio, and Rita Hayworth. He was hailed as a genius, a charlatan, a magician, an incredible friend, an a***hole, a hard-driver, a steady worker, and a man who drank too much. Welles liked to joke that he began his career on top and spent the rest of his life working his way down. Such a strong-willed, creative person deserves an in-depth look. Join James Scully — Radio historian and producer/host of Breaking Walls, the docu-podcast on the history of U.S. network radio broadcasting for the last of a three-part webinar that deeply explores the life and career of Orson Welles, with a strong focus on his two decades working in American and British radio. In Part 3: Orson Welles In Europe (1948 - 1956) we'll explore Welles' time in Europe from the late 1940s through the mid 1950s, with audio clips and highlights including: • HUAC and Leaving the U.S • Harry Alan Towers, and Harry Lime • Othello and The Black Museum • Song of Myself and Theatre Royal • The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes and Moriarity • The BBC Sketchbook and Moby Dick • Mr Lincoln and Mr Arkadin • Returning to the U.S. • Tomorrow and Yesterday Afterward, I'll do a Q&A — any and all questions are welcomed and encouraged! Can't attend live? Not to worry! I'll be recording the event and sending the video out to all guests who register so you can watch it later. See you (virtually) there!

In this episode, we dive deep into Orson Welles' ambitious and visually stunning 1951 adaptation of Shakespeare's Othello. Known for its turbulent production—spanning years, continents, and funding challenges—Welles' Othello is as much a story about the making of a film as it is about the tragic Moor of Venice. We'll explore how Welles' unique cinematic vision transformed Shakespeare's text into a noir-infused, dreamlike masterpiece, analyzing his bold use of shadow, striking close-ups, and inventive editing. We'll also discuss the film's performances, including Welles' commanding yet vulnerable take on Othello and Micheál Mac Liammóir's chilling portrayal of Iago. Finally, we'll examine how this film fits into Welles' career and why it remains one of his most underappreciated works.Feel free to email at silverscreenvideopodcast@gmail.com with any comments or thoughts.

Episode 344 of RevolutionZ begins with some reflections on Zohran Mamdani's inspiring electoral win. How? By his campaign mobilizing an astonishing 50,000 volunteers. How? By he and his campaign feeling real and honest, and by offering real and meaningful vision. By electoral politics and grassroots activism becoming a mutual aid tag team rather than competing opponents. The episode then moves from Gaza's gut wrenching fascistic horrors to our own American "Twilight Zone" reality that seeks to entrench fascistic tendencies as normal life. The episode then  takes a break from its usual patterns to look at some music, some lyrics, hoping to find some clarity, courage, and, well, dignity. Hoping to find some potential sources for an emerging new youth culture which is something that we all, young and older alike, profoundly need to create, experience, and embrace. Bruce Springsteen's "Youngstown" documents capitalism's broken promises. His "The Ghost of Tom Joad" reminds our moral obligations. But mainly the episoode hopes to introduce and propel some some emerging voices of today, not only old ones from yesterday. We hear Jesse Wells' and Carsey Blanton's unflinching and yet also moving and eloquent lyrics that directly confront power. "Rich people been fucking us all." Back not too long, we  re-surface Iris DeMent's "Wasteland of the Free" and Bob Dylan's "Gates of Eden" and "Dignity." The point of it all is to celebrate how artists have long conveyed a  vocabulary of resistance that we desperately need today.I hope the songs whose lyrics I offer reveal that cultural resistance isn't separate from political action—it's an essential aid. It helps us imagine and create more just futures. Even more, it can help establish a mood, a disposition, aspirations, and confidence in the face of deadly hate. In the coming months of defense and then in coming years of positive gain, we will need to disobey authoritarianism, eliminate ecological nightmare, and reduce staggering inequality. We will need to entrench in their place self managed participation, productive and ecological sanity, and real soli;darity and equity. I hope the lyrics in this episode and others that you go on to find, to sing, and to hear, music and all, can help provide the rebellious soundtrack for our necessary actions. When I was a child we had that. The culture around us propelled us. We didn't win all we needed to, but some. Now new generations have to prevent the elimination of all that and, more, have to expand the victory vastly further. I hope artists and their audiences do their part to help propel all that. It ought to come naturally.Support the show

This week on Movie Mistrial, we tackle the titan of classic cinema—Orson Welles' Citizen Kane. Is it truly the greatest film of all time, or has its reputation eclipsed its relevance?Citizen Kane revolutionized filmmaking with groundbreaking cinematography, non-linear storytelling, and deep character study. Welles' portrayal of Charles Foster Kane is as complex as the real-life figures who inspired him, and the film's themes of ambition, isolation, and legacy still resonate today. “Rosebud” isn't just a mystery—it's a cinematic milestone.While Citizen Kane is revered by critics and scholars, some modern audiences find its pacing slow and its emotional impact muted. Its innovations, though important historically, may feel less striking to viewers accustomed to decades of films that followed its lead.Join us as we peel back the layers of Citizen Kane—discussing its artistry, its influence, and whether it still deserves the crown in today's cinematic landscape.Connect with us and share your thoughts:Twitter: http://tiny.cc/MistrialTwitterFacebook: http://tiny.cc/MistrialFBInstagram: http://tiny.cc/MistrialInstaVisit our website, www.moviemistrial.com, for more captivating episodes and to stay up-to-date with all things movies.

Elmyr De Hory was the greatest art forger of all time.  By the time he was exposed in 1967, it's estimated he had created over 1000 works that had been sold as by Picasso, Modigliani, Matisse, Derand, Duffy, and various other modern masters, and many of which remain undetected in institutions and private collections around the world.   But does it matter if we believe it's a Picasso and we enjoy it as such?   Mark Forgy came to Europe as a 20-year-old backpacker in 1969, bumped into Elmyr on a quayside in Ibiza, and lived with him for seven of the years between his exposure as the greatest art forger of all time in 1967 and his suicide in 1976.     It was a whirlwind life of culture, glamour, intrigue, Hollywood stars, dodgy writers, and psychopathic villains, all of which can be glimpsed in the extraordinary Orson Welles film ‘F For Fake'. Welles visited Elmyr in Ibiza and used his life for a meditation on the poetry of what 'fake' means, of what truth means, of what facts mean in comparison with a good story, a great image, an extraordinary performance.   Mark came to the Bureau to tell us all about it and to muse on whether the products of Elmyr's undeniable genius were really any less authentic than the art world itself.   In our time of fakery, epic frauds, fake news, fake gurus, fake identities, deep fakes, 'my truth not THE truth', feelings over facts, a time when the distinction between Reality and AI-generated content is getting very difficult to spot, this story seems very prescient..   Mark's book The Forger's Apprentice Orson Welles' 'F For Fake'   Photographs courtesy Mark Forgy/   #ElmyrDeHory #BureauOfLostCulture #Elmyr #forgery #artforgery #fake #artworld #OrsonWelles #FforFake #Ibiza #fernandlegros #markforgy    

Singer-Songwriter Jesse Welles has captured the world's attention with his viral "Under The Powerlines" videos, which has introduced him to a fanbase ready to hear what else he has to say. In this chat, he talks to Matt Pelsor about his influences, both musical and literary; and about his newfound friendship with famous fan Dave Matthews.

Citizen Accused: Orson Welle's Film of Franz Kafka's The Trial Few authors can lay claim to creating a genre, however it could be argued that Franz Kafka did just that with stories like The Metamorphosis, In the Penal Colony, and this week's cinematic adaptation, The Trial. The term Kafkaesque , instantly builds a sense of excitement, confusion, and paranoia in readers - many whom are only familiar with the term and not necessarily the author. This week we look at Orson Welle's 1962 adaptation of Kafka's 1925 classic, The Trial.  Set (15 minutes?) in the future, Welle's beautifully realizes the confusion and terror that has made Kafka's unfinished original work a classic. It's a thrill for Mr. Chavez & I to sit down and dive into a bold and daring exploration of a famed and cherished writer, by one of the great masters of the cinema. Take a listen and ask yourself how much you see of Kafka and Welles' visions in today's troubling world. Thanks for listening. As always, we can be reached at gondoramos@yahoo.com.

Please improve it by verifying the claims made and adding inline citations. Statements consisting only of original research should be removed.The play was broadcast live from the drill hall of the Seventh Regiment Armory in Manhattan, New York.

Music was composed and directed by Bernard Herrmann, music director of the Columbia Workshop. William N. Robson was responsible for crowd supervision; Brewster Morgan was editorial supervisor; and the stage manager was Earle McGill.The production involved the construction of a soundproof isolation booth for Welles. Two hundred extras were used for the crowds, drawn from New York University students, New Jersey high school students and boys clubs.To simulate a crowd of 10,000, Reis recorded the sounds of the extras during rehearsals, including their shouts. During the actual performance, these recordings were played at four different locations in the Armory; the recordings were played at slightly different speeds to give the effect of a larger crowd.: : : : :My other podcast channels include: MYSTERY x SUSPENSE -- DRAMA X THEATER -- SCI FI x HORROR -- COMEDY x FUNNY HA HA -- VARIETY X ARMED FORCES.Subscribing is free and you'll receive new post notifications.

“He was some kind of a man. What does it matter what you say about people?” – Touch of Evil (1958)This week, we're crossing into the shadowy borderlands of noir with special guest Ryan Luis Rodriguez to unpack Orson Welles' Touch of Evil. From its legendary opening tracking shot to Welles' haunting turn as the corrupt Hank Quinlan, the film stands as a dark, complex swan song to the classic noir era.Together, we explore the film's bold visual language, its controversial casting choices, and the fascinating story behind the restored cut that finally honored Welles' original vision. Touch of Evil isn't just a masterwork of style—it's a film that continues to challenge how we think about authority, morality, and the boundaries we draw. Episode Notes:Touch of Evil (1958) was directed by Orson Welles and stars Charlton Heston, Janet Leigh, and Welles himselfSelected to the National Film Registry in 1993Famous for:A 3+ minute opening tracking shot widely regarded as one of the best in cinemaWelles' portrayal of the morally bankrupt Captain Hank QuinlanA studio-meddled post-production process that was later corrected by a 1998 restoration using Welles' notesDiscussion topics include:The film's place at the end of the classic noir eraInnovations in camera movement, sound design, and lightingHow Touch of Evil navigates race, identity, and law enforcement on the U.S.–Mexico borderThe legacy of the restored version and its impact on Welles' reputationFeaturing special guest:Ryan Luis Rodriguez, film podcaster and host of The Coolness Chronicles and Reels of Justice Follow the Show:TwitterInstagramWebsite Music by Mike Natale

Bienvenidos de nuevo a un directo desde Twitter, esta vez voy a darles una clase magistral sobre como funciona nuestra red eléctrica, algo complejo y sencillo a la vez. No hay ningún medio de comunicación que hable claramente sobre esto y por ello la gente no se puede formar una opinión al respecto. Se habla de oido y por regla general los tertulianos no tienen ni idea de lo que hablan. Os explicaré a grandes rasgos mi formación: Título de FP2 en la especialidad Líneas y maquinas eléctricas, eso antiguamente eran 5 años. Luego pasé algunos meses como técnico para un autónomo que trabajaba para Balay antes de irme a la mili. La mili la realice en la base aérea de Getafe como electricista dentro de la central eléctrica donde ayude a los electricistas civiles, allí teníamos varios grupos electrógenos, de varios tamaños y potencias. Al volver de la mili entre en una empresa de verificación trafos en fábricas y permisos para poner en marcha instalaciones. Después entre en una de las empresas eléctricas mas antiguas de España, J.Gil, se trata de una empresa de las primeras que construyó nuestra red eléctrica. Decir que los antiguos trabajadores de Hidroeléctrica Española hacían horas en esa empresa y que nosotros celebrábamos la comida de nochebuena con ellos. En esa empresa viví la unificación de Hidroeléctrica Española e Iberduero dando como resultado el monstruo de Iberdrola. Esa empresa empezó a ir mal y entre a otra del sector y entre las dos estuve más de 10 años en las empresas que construyen y mantienen centrales de generación y distribución trabajando por toda España. Dentro de esas dos empresas trabajé en todo tipo de instalaciones: nucleares, térmicas de carbón, hidroeléctricas, de fuel, eólicos, de todo salvo solar. Y en todo tipo de tensiones, desde las subestaciones de distribución en 20KV a las grandes centrales de 400KV. Participe en la construcción desde cero de subestaciones y centrales, instalacion de cableado de control, montaje de bastidores de protecciones y pruebas en todo tipo de instalaciones. Estuve trabajando en el cinturón de 400KV que rodea Madrid y también en la instalación de los telemandos para manejar las centrales a distancia. Trabajando en el parque de 400 KV de Vandellos se pusieron en contacto conmigo para que echara el curriculum en REE, Red eléctrica de España. Tuve que ir a Zaragoza a realizar una entrevista para ver si estaba capacitado para ser operador del sistema con ellos. Lo pase y realice también un test de conocimientos básicos y otro psicológico que también pase…pero al final mi apellido no era el adecuado y no entre. Luego contaré una anécdota al respecto. Pude ir a trabajar a Brasil y deje esta última empresa porque me querían contratar en Iberdrola y mi jefe lo impidió. Le di quince días y me marché a una pequeña ingeniera de valencia. Alli trabaje un año como delineante diseñando telecontroles, teledisparos, equipos de protección de red y modificaciones en centrales eléctricas. Allí colaboré en el diseño de subestaciones para Brasil. Pero yo soy un técnico de campo, una rata de calle y parque al aire libre, por lo que terminé yéndome a la empresa donde sigo trabajando hoy dia. Dicha multinacional fue a su vez comprada por otra aún mayor, nada menos que GE. Así que sí, he trabajado para GE (General Electric) como técnico de campo, incluso me dieron un cuadro de reconocimiento, ja, ja, ja. En esta empresa llevo los últimos 25 años. Se trata de una empresa que produce energía y la inyecta a la red todos los días desde todas partes del mundo. Así que sí, creo estar capacitado para hablar sobre el apagón del dia 28, otro fatídico 8, a las 12:33 Decir que las explicaciones que ha dado REE a través de Eduardo Prieto como director de servicios para la operación de Red eléctrica son claramente insuficientes. Un escueto video de 50 segundos publicado en su página web donde simplemente nos dicen que la demanda había sido repuesta en un 77% a las 4 de la mañana… De momento nadie ha dado una respuesta verosímil sobre lo que de verdad a pasado. REE, la empresa privado-estatal que maneja la red eléctrica ha dicho esto en su sala de prensa. Tan solo ha explicado que a las 12 de la noche se recuperó el 60% de la demanda y a las 2 de la mañana el 77%. Esto es largo de explicar a través de unos tuits...pero digamos que es la pescadilla que se muerde la cola. Muchas instalaciones generadoras no están diseñadas para producir mientras la red está caída, lo que se denomina blackout, y necesitan que haya tensión de red para empezar a inyectar potencia a la red. Las instalaciones grandes como las nucleares y otros grupos de generación necesitan horas o incluso días para estar disponibles. Es más, las nucleares necesitan una enorme cantidad de energía eléctrica para refrigerar sus núcleos nada más desconectarse de la red. La propia distribución eléctrica consume un montón de potencia eléctrica que se disipa en forma de calor y de emisiones de radiación electromagnética en todos los cientos de miles de kilómetros del cableado eléctrico de AT (alta tensión) y en los bobinados de los trafos. Por lo tanto, la primera generación que se va recuperando debe enviarse a qué las nucleares tengan red y no utilicen sus grupos electrógenos de emergencia y en inundar las redes de distribución con tensión. De momento no he escuchado ni una explicación técnica sobre el #apagon de parte de REE o de algún medio oficial. Aquí, Eduardo Prieto, director de Servicios para la Operación de Red Eléctrica en declaraciones a los medios nos contó como iban reponiendo esta tensión para que todos tengamos electricidad en casa. Eso fue a las 20:35 y es el último comunicado publicado en la web de REE. Ya está circulando por ahí la posibilidad de que este apagón haya sido debido a la presencia de masiva de energia procedente de los paneles solares fotovoltaicos, leo: "En un sistema eléctrico dominado por paneles solares, aerogeneradores e inversores, la inercia física es prácticamente nula. Los paneles solares no producen rotación mecánica. La mayoría de los aerogeneradores modernos están desacoplados electrónicamente de la red y proporcionan poca fuerza estabilizadora. Los sistemas basados ​​en inversores, que predominan en las redes modernas de energía renovable, son precisos pero delicados. Siguen la frecuencia de la red en lugar de resistir cambios repentinos”. El tuitero Principia Marsupia decía: “Veremos si tiene algo que ver con el apagón de hoy o no, pero hay un concepto del que se habla muy poco: la **inercia** de un sistema eléctrico. La inercia funciona como un amortiguador ante las fluctuaciones. Las centrales nucleares, las hidroeléctrica, las de gas, etc. proporcionan inercia al sistema xq tienen el mismo principio de funcionamiento: turbinas muy pesadas que giran muy rápido (a 50 vueltas por segundo = 50 hertzios). Esos bichos tan pesados girando a tanta velocidad tienen una inercia muy grande. Newton nos enseñó que cuanta más inercia tienes, más fuerza tiene que ejercer el exterior para cambiar tu velocidad de rotación. Dicho de otra manera: esos sistemas "absorben" las fluctuaciones de forma instantánea y muy eficiente. Por supuesto, todo tiene su límite y también puede haber apagones con esas centrales. ¿Y la solar y la eólica? La solar y la eólica producen electricidad sin una masa que proporcione inercia. (Los molinos eólicos no giran a 50 vueltas por segundo). Ojo: yo soy muy partidario de las renovables. Son más baratas y nos hacen depender menos de los países que exportan petróleo o gas. Pero creo que no se explica bien que cuando dependemos *sólo* de las renovables, el diseño y la gestión de la red es mucho más compleja. Y dicho esto, repito: no sé si el apagón de hoy ha sido un problema con la inercia del sistema. En todo caso, os he podido dar la chapa con un tema que me parece interesantísimo.” Es cierto que el dia del apagón el aporte de la energia fotovoltaica fue mayor de un 60% dentro del mix energético, concretamente un 60,64% con 17.657 MW. Pero hace solo unos días, el 21 de abril de 2025, la energía fotovoltaica alcanzó un récord en España, aportando el 61,5% del mix energético peninsular a las 13:35 horas, con una producción instantánea de 20.120 MW. El 19 de marzo de 2023, a las 11:37 horas, la energía solar fotovoltaica cubrió el 64,5% de la demanda eléctrica en España, marcando un récord histórico…sin que sufrieramos un apagón. ………………………………………………………………………………………. contar que es la red…tendréis que escuchar mi explicación ………………………………………………………………………………………. Decir que consultando los datos vemos que a las 12 y 20 no solo estábamos produciendo lo que consumían los españoles sino que estábamos exportando o guardando energia en forma bombeo. En concreto estábamos exportando 1 GW (a grosso modo una central nuclear) a Francia, 2,6 GW a Portugal y 3 GW se estaban destinando a bombear agua en presas para luego turbinarla, esto es, para en otro momento donde la energia sea mas cara vender de nuevo esa energia. Y casi un 1 GW más destinado a Marruecos, Andorra, etc… O sea, a las 12 y 20, 13 minutos antes del desastre nos sobraban casi 7 GW. En ese momento teníamos algunas de nuestras centrales nucleares en marcha, en torno a la mitad, por lo que estábamos produciendo unos 3 GW de forma nuclear. Por no decir que en España existe también el servicio de Interrumpibilidad por el que cobran y muy bien algunas de las empresas que mas energia eléctrica consumen. Este servicio significa que en caso de necesidad estas empresas serán desconectadas de la red por el operador y tendrán que funcionar en isla, o sea, se tendrán que generar ellas mismas su energía. Este servicio se empezó a gestionar en la Orden ITC/2370/2007, de 26 de julio, y hoy dia no está claro cuantos gigavatios hay destinados a esto. Esto funciona por subasta, el gobierno ofrece este chollo solo a las empresas afines, ya que como yo he comentado en mis artículos y podcast titulados “La red de araña” la corrupción y el oscurantismo en este sector es generalizado. Hace años que no busco datos sobre este respecto pero han habido años donde habían mas de 7 GW destinados a esto. Por ello estas empresas pagan su energia mas barata que la señora Maria que utiliza la electricidad para usar su secador de pelo y cuatro bombillas. Hoy se llama Servicio de Respuesta Activa de la Demanda (SRAD) y son solo unos 2 GW, podemos leer esto: “Las subastas de interrumpibilidad, tal como se conocían tradicionalmente, han evolucionado en España. Desde 2022, se han reemplazado por un nuevo mecanismo denominado Servicio de Respuesta Activa de la Demanda (SRAD), según el Real Decreto-ley 17/2022. Este servicio permite a grandes consumidores, como la industria electrointensiva, y otros agentes con al menos 1 MW de potencia reducir su consumo eléctrico en momentos críticos para el sistema eléctrico, a cambio de una retribución económica. A diferencia del antiguo sistema, la retribución se basa en la disponibilidad y, en caso de activación, en la ejecución efectiva de la reducción de consumo. En 2024, se anunció que la subasta para el SRAD de 2025 se celebraría el 14 de noviembre, con un requerimiento de 2.116 MW. Estas subastas, gestionadas por Red Eléctrica de España (REE), son telemáticas, anuales y abiertas a más participantes que las antiguas subastas de interrumpibilidad, que estaban restringidas principalmente a la gran industria. Por tanto, las subastas de interrumpibilidad como tal ya no existen, pero el SRAD cumple una función similar, adaptada a un marco regulatorio más moderno y flexible, alineado con las directrices de la Unión Europea.” Esto nos dice que en cualquier momento nos podríamos deshacer de la producción de 9 GW…ya saben que supuestamente todo ha sobrevenido porque nos faltaron de golpe 15GW en un consumo de entorno 26. Les hablare de como se calcula la energia necesaria que tenemos que producir para no tener problemas. Toda la energia que podemos producir se denomina “capacidad efectiva” y toda la energia que necesitamos en un instante se llama “demanda máxima bruta coincidente”. Lógicamente esta ultima debe ser menor que lo que podemos producir, esa diferencia se denomina “margen de reserva”. Y aqui es donde vienen las curvas. Lógicamente no todas las instalaciones están operativas: Puedes estar paradas debido a un mantenimiento programado, a un fallo, a la degradación por el paso del tiempo o al cajón de sastre que denominan “causas ajenas”. Asi que ese margen de reserva que teníamos antes se nos ha reducido hasta lo que se conoce como “margen de reserva operativo”. Por tanto tenemos una capacidad neta disponible que debe superar a la demanda máxima neta en ese “margen de reserva operativo”. Dicho margen esta compuesto por el margen de reserva de generación, la demanda interrumpible y la capacidad de interconexión (nuestra red está conectada a la de otros países y podemos exportar o importar electricidad). Nuestra interconexión principal es con Francia, pueden buscarla como Inelfe, una linea que pretende que pasemos del 3% de interconexión actual a un 10%...o sea aproximadamente 10 GWh… esto solo puede servir para enviar nuestra energía sobrante ...porque a nosotros nos sobra aproximadamente un 70% de todo lo que hay instalado en este santo país. Hice unos cálculos sobre el margen de reserva en 2014, son estos: Pues bien, si nosotros tenemos oficialmente 108 GWh (yo creo que son mas bien 120 GWh...pero "aceptamos pulpo") y consumimos en una franja entre los 22 y 36 GWh...¿Cuantos GWh nos sobran?... Pues bastante mas de esos 10 GWh que si no paran en Francia (que pararan, vaya si pararan)...y le dejo aqui los fríos datos extraídos de ese pdf que Vd. obvio y ojo es un pdf muy, pero que muy pronuke… Le remarco lo de la flechita para que vea que ES PARA EXTRAER NUESTRA ENERGIA SOBRANTE CREADA EN INSTALACIONES QUE EMPLEAN ENERGIA RENOVABLE LA QUE CIRCULARA POR LAS REDES FRANCESAS...PORQUE ELLOS DE ESO POCO... Para calcular el margen de reserva de nuestra red necesitamos conocer estos tres factores: MRG ó margen de reserva de generación. Como tenemos parados casi todos los ciclos combinados, y según Iberdrola, este margen es grande de casi 30 GWh (datos del 2010, ahora sera mayor) y ya que cobran sumas astronómicas en concepto de disponibilidad pues que estén preparados para empezar a generar, leñe. DI ó demanda interrumpible. Esto por si no lo saben nuestros oyentes se trata de un convenio entre las empresas eléctricas y los grandes consumidores via subvención del estado para que sean avisados y dada la circunstancia de un preapagon se queden fuera de la red, esto es, les sea cortado el suministro eléctrico para compensar la demanda en ese momento, a veces simplemente para gestionar las tensiones en la red. La ultima orden de interrumpibilidad se produjo en diciembre del 2009 en el sur de España. Solo se pueden sumar a estas "primas" los grandes consumidores de mas de 100MW, o sea, a estas grandes industrias la luz les sale bastante mas barata por este y otros motivos que a un pequeño consumidor. CI ó capacidad de interconexiones. Actualmente gozamos de unos 10 GWh que serán ampliados en breve gracias al proyecto INELFE pasando a los 15 GWh ampliable a los 25 GWh, que consiste en enterrar unas líneas de corriente continua entre Francia y España. Todo esto hace que nuestra capacidad bruta de 108 GWh oficiales y nuestra capacidad efectiva que es la suma de la demanda bruta coincidente y el margen de reserva sean bastante grandes y parecidos. Yo calculo a grosso modo que esta capacidad efectiva seria de: 36GWh del pico máximo actual, ya que no volveremos en mucho tiempo a los 45 GWh de nuestra burbuja mas los 30 GWh del margen de reserva de generación mas los 6 GWh de la demanda interrumpible mas los 10 GWn actuales de la capacidad de interconexión nos arroja un total de 82 GWh. Unos 82 GWh, que descontandole el aproximadamente el 25 % de fallos, degradación, causas ajenas y al mantenimiento de equipos nos arroja una potencia de margen de reserva operativo mas demanda bruta coincidente de 61,5 GWh y esa y no otra seria la potencia bruta instalada mínima que precisaríamos en estos momentos. Sin embargo nosotros que hemos tenido un pico máximo de demanda de 45 GWh en plena burbuja inmobiliaria, tenemos instalada la friolera de 108 GWh lo que nos arroja un margen de reserva del 59%. Vamos por último a comparar estos valores con dos países, el primero México: En el informe del 2012 de la comisión nacional de energia eléctrica podemos leer los datos del 2011, esto es, México tuvo una demanda media de 38,85 GWh y una capacidad bruta de generación de 54 GWh, lo que deja un margen de reserva operativo del 24 %, o lo que es lo mismo en Mexico hacen los deberes. Veamos ahora el caso de Francia: Su pico máximo de demanda en el año 2010 fue de 96 GWh y ellos tienen una capacidad bruta instalada de 123,5 GWh así que esto nos arroja un margen de reserva operativo de tan solo un 22 %, o sea peor margen de reserva que México y no digamos con nuestro abultadisimo margen del 59 %. Todos los autores están de acuerdo en que este valor de reserva se debe situar entre el 25 y el 30%... así que le dedico estos datos a un pronuclear cabezón que sigue opinando que nuestra red no puede funcionar sin la mano que nos echan los franceses...pero ya vemos que es al revés y que en breve aun necesitaran mas de nuestras energias renovables. ………………………………………………………………………….. Quería comentar que los cortes eléctricos que puedan inestabilizar el sistema no son tan poco frecuentes, yo he vivido dos. El más importante, sin lugar a dudas fue el de 1987 provocado por un fallo en un trafo de 220 KV en la subestación de Sentmenat. Durante aquellos días estaba trabajando en la ET de la Plana (Castellon), punto estratégico donde se pudo aislar la avería junto con la ET de la Mudarra en Valladolid. Para ello fue preciso el sacar las “palas” de los relés de protección de sobreintensidad (que por cierto eran GE , como casi todos) y controlar la línea “a mano”. Os dejo un fragmento del libro histórico de REE , donde se recoge aquel accidente, en la pág. 31 podemos leer esto: “…El apagón de Cataluña de 1987 El 14 de octubre de 1987 se produce un apagón en Cataluña que deja sin servicio al 91 % del mercado catalán y desacopla las conexiones con Francia. El incidente se origina a las 22:44 horas en la subestación de Sentmenat (Barcelona), al explotar un polo de un interruptor. La situación se agrava a las 23:20 horas al dispararse la línea Aragón-La Plana, lo que afecta al resto de las centrales eléctricas de la zona. En concreto se disparan los grupos de La Robla, Teruel, Ascó, Vandellós I y Garoña. La potencia de la central de Cofrentes se queda en 80 megavatios. Para superar esta situación, se acoplan grupos de fuelóleo en Sant Adriá de Besós, Foix, Cercs y Castellón. El suministro se normaliza al cien por cien a la 1:45 horas de la madrugada. «Se puede hablar de perturbación general. Es la incidencia mayor que se ha registrado en la etapa de la explotación unificada», asegura José Alburquerque, que fue jefe del CECOEL entre 1990 y 1999 y ahora está jubilado…” (OJO 4 Nucleares paradas, y bajar a 80 MW Cofrentes es una parada técnica de emergencia en toda regla, la situación se puso al rojo vivo) Sobretodo se han dado situaciones de peligro en la zona de Cataluña, aunque tras crear el doble anillo de 400 KV de la red eléctrica se ha mejorado muchísimo. Figuraos que hasta hace no tanto tiempo toda la energía eléctrica que salía y/o entraba a Segovia lo hacía por un único interruptor de 400 KV. ……………………………………………………………………………………….

John's guest this week is William Hazelgrove, author of 20 books. They focus on his book "Dead Air", the true story of Orson Welles' creation of the revolutionary day, October 30, 1938, when Welles panicked the United States with his dramatization of "The War of the Worlds". It was a one-hour radio show portraying the invasion of the United States by the armies of the planet Mars. Its consequences shook the nation, and radio was never the same thereafter.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Front Row Classics is taking a look at one of the greatest achievements from one of cinema's true geniuses. Brandon welcomes Robert Bellissimo to celebrate Orson Welles' The Magnificent Ambersons. Robert is the host of his own video podcast called "Robert Bellissimo At the Movies". Brandon and Robert discuss how the film how this truncated masterpiece remains one of Welles' greatest films. This follow-up to Citizen Kane features stellar performances from Joseph Cotten, Tim Holt, Anne Baxter and especially Agnes Moorehead. 

 In this episode, Rick connects with writer, director, and actor Orson Welles. His work spanning the worlds of radio, television, film, and theatre, Welles is widely regarded as “the ultimate auteur.”

Joseph McBride is a film historian and a professor in the School of Cinema at San Francisco State University. He is the author of biographies of Frank Capra, John Ford, and Steven Spielberg; three books on Orson Welles; and critical studies of Ernst Lubitsch, Billy Wilder, and the Coen Brothers. He acted for Welles in The Other Side of the Wind and has won a Writers Guild of America award. His latest book is called "George Cukor's People: Acting for a Master Director" (Columbia University Press, 2025). The director of classic films such as "Sylvia Scarlett", "The Philadelphia Story", "Gaslight", "Adam's Rib", "A Star Is Born", and "My Fair Lady", George Cukor is widely admired but often misunderstood. Reductively stereotyped in his time as a woman's director—a thinly veiled, disparaging code for gay—he brilliantly directed a wide range of iconic actors and actresses, including Cary Grant, Greta Garbo, Spencer Tracy, Joan Crawford, Marilyn Monroe, and Maggie Smith. As Katharine Hepburn, the star of ten Cukor films, told the director, “All the people in your pictures are as goddamned good as they can possibly be, and that's your stamp.”

On a warm Halloween Eve, October 30, 1938, during a broadcast of H G. Wells' War of the Worlds, Orson Welles held his hands up for radio silence in the CBS studio in New York City while millions of people ran out into the night screaming, grabbed shotguns, drove off in cars, and hid in basements, attics, or anywhere they could find to get away from Martians intent on exterminating the human race. As Welles held up his hands to his fellow actors, musicians, and sound technicians, he turned six seconds of radio silence—dead air—into absolute horror, changing the way the world would view media forever, and making himself one of the most famous men in America. The revisionism lately of Orson Welles War of the Worlds 1938 broadcast is that it did not affect many beyond l the East Coast and most people did not believe Martians had invaded and were exterminating the human race with heat ray guns and poisonous gas. William Hazelgrove's new book “Dead Air The Night Orson Welles Terrified America,” points to a different America thrown into mass panic from the broadcast produced and directed by the twenty-three-year-old Welles.Did people really believe that Martians were exterminating the human race and did mass panic engulf the country? Willliam Hazelgrove makes a convincing case people did believe the broadcast and the ensuing terror and panic was a real time example of what would happen if aliens ever did land on earth.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Support Breaking Walls at https://www.patreon.com/thewallbreakers It's a little after midnight on the morning of Monday January 9th. We're at P.J. Clarke's on the corner of 55th street and 3rd avenue, getting warm the best way we know how. The weather is nasty outside. It's about fifteen degrees with freezing rain and gale force winds. Clarke's is a bar from another time. It's wonderfully trapped in nostalgia—all burnished wood and chased mirrors. Orson Welles is opening King Lear at The City Center to good reviews. The years in Europe did him well, but he's happy to be back in New York. Welles is in the back with none other than Frank Sinatra. They've known each other since the 1930s, and since they both missed each other's fortieth birthdays last year, we're celebrating. Joining us is Jilly Rizzo and Bill Stern. The next round of drinks is on me. That's Daniel Levazzo. He bought the bar from the Clarke family a few years ago. Hey Dan, three Jacks straight up, a negroni for Orson, and I'll have Hendricks on the rocks. You want something? Hey Dan, let me borrow your phone, I've got to file my story. Hello Operator, give me CBS at 485 Madison Avenue please. (Beat) Yes I know what time it is. I'm a producer there. (Beat) Put me through. (Beat) Thank you. Some things never change. Hello Cindy, it's Scully. Is Ed Murrow still there? (Beat) Could you put me through to him? (Beat) Thank you. (Beat) Hey Ed, It's James Scully. I'm glad I caught you. Bill Paley's got you burning the midnight oil huh? (Beat) I did. Orson was good. I'm a P.J. Clarke's with him and Sinatra right now. Bill Stern's here too. You want to swing by? I'll get Dan Levazzo to break out the moonshine. (Beat) With those two? We'll be here a while. (Beat) Ha! Ok I'll see you soon. Ed Murrow's a good man. The gang will be happy to see him. Dan, Do me a favor, turn the TV up for a second. The Tonight Show with Steve Allen is just finishing on NBC-TV and there's a little news item on the tube before programming signs off. Everyone is talking about Grace Kelly's engagement to Prince Rainier III of Monaco. It was announced in Philadelphia on January 5th and their party is going to be at the Waldorf-Astoria Hotel here in New York. Grace and Rainier went their separate ways on Saturday. She's going back to Hollywood to keep working on High Society. The only thing is, one of her co-stars is Sinatra, and he'll be in no mood to fly to the coast tomorrow. That's not the only talk of love and marriage going on around New York City. Look at that Sunday Daily News cover. Heiress Juliette Wehle stood up her husband-to-be on their wedding day. She supposedly slipped away at 2AM wearing just a negligee to elope with another man. Don't worry, it's not a roving producer from CBS. The twenty-year-old heiress later returned home, unmarried. Excuse me, I'm missing out on the fun. Oh, before I go, I should say that the story of a woman jilting one man for another is ironically a centerpiece in the upcoming plot within Yours Truly Johnny Dollar's “The Todd Matter.” The first episode will air later tonight at 8:15PM over CBS radio. And remember, it stars Bob Bailey.
