Podcast appearances and mentions of will robin

We're boldly going where this particular podcast hasn't gone before! Despite there being a shocking 12 different Star Trek films on our list, this is the first time we've run into the Enterprise. Will Robin feel like a real Trekkie? Will Kahmeela or Sean be converted? Will Shatner finish a line reading in a timely fashion? This week's recommendations: Sean and Kahmeela both liked THE MONKEY. Robin and Sean both liked BLACK BAG. Kahmeela and Robin tried to like some Netflix series but can't recommend it.

Batman/Superman: World's Finest #32 (2024)It is the continuation of the Eclipso/Word's Finest arc as the crap really hits the fan because both Superman AND Batman have been Eclipsified! The Watchtower is in pieces, Red Tornado's all screwed up and the rest of the Justice League is trapped in a purple jewel in the middle of the Sahara.And the worst thing is that Eclipso now has Batman's dark web password and wants Superman to use the Earth's satellites as a pickleball court. Will Green Arrow verbally berate Green Lantern into freeing them from their purple prison? Will the Spectre face significant self-esteem issues? Will Robin literally have to BREAK HIS NECK in order to bring Batman back to reality? Maybe? Probably?!?*** PROPER COMIC BOOK DISCUSSION STARTS AT 00:01:30 ***Promo: TASK FORCE X (https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/task-force-x/id896494965)Continue the conversation with Shawn and Jen on Twitter / Instagram / Facebook / Threads / Bluesky or email the show at worstcollectionever@gmail.comAlso, get hip to all of our episodes on YouTube in its own playlist! https://bit.ly/WorstCollectionEverYTDownload the podcast on Spotify, Apple Podcasts and wherever you get your favorite shows.

It's summer and we are busy working on episodes for our fourth season. We've also rebuilt our website–check out the the fabulous new phantompod.org. There's other great stuff in store for the podcast, so stay tuned! But today, I want to share one of my favorite podcasts with you: Will Robin's Sound Expertise. For those of you into musicology or popular music studies, there's a great chance you're already a subscribe. That's because Will's show is fantastic and I personally know many music scholars who are devoted fans of this show that features conversations with established and up-and-coming music scholars. For those of you who aren't familiar with Dr. Robin, you might remember that I quoted his New York Times obituary of R. Murray Schafer in our first episode on Schafer. He has written about music for the Times for at least a decade. He's also an assistant professor of Musicology at the University of Maryland and the author of the book Industry: Bang on a Can and New Music. Sound Expertise will be dropping its third season in the fall. The episode you are about to hear is one that I love as a media scholar. Will Robin interviews Dr. Paula Harper about her work on viral music videos and taste, specifically that terrible Rebecca Black video “Friday” that's probably still rattling around in some dark recess of your brain. Dr. Harper digs into the awful virality of that video and all of its cover versions, discerning what this case study can tell us about genre, gender, and how and why sound travels on the internet. It's a great discussion and I hope you enjoy it. And by the way, since this interview happened, Paula Harper has joined the faculty of the University of Chicago as an assistant professor of music.

This episode of Sound Propositions features scholars Kerry O'Brien and Will Robin, editors of the recent anthology On Minimalism: Documenting a Musical Movement. Described as a historical source reader, the book compiles over 100 primary sources retelling the story of minimalist music from the 1950s to the present. Sources include liner notes, interviews, journalism, manifestos, and other material organized chronologically and thematically, with introductory essays from the editors. Not a simple revisionist history seeking to expand the canon, let alone an attempt to dethrone the “Big Four” composers, On Minimalism nonetheless radically reconsiders the scope of minimalist music. In some ways the book is a restorative history, following the offshoots of musical practices that had once been described as “minimalist,” beginning with non-western music and modal jazz in the 1950s up to drone rock and techno of the present. We discuss the influence of Ravi Shankar, why the Coltranes were minimalists, the Julius Eastman revival, and much more. Read more at A Closer Listen —-Sound Propositions is written, recorded, mixed, and produced by Joseph Sannicandro. --- Support this podcast: https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/soundpropositions/support

On this episode, Marc talks to Kerry O'Brien and Will Robin, co-editors of “On Minimalism: Documenting a Musical Movement,” published in April of 2023. It's an anthology of writings on the modern musical style known as minimalism, presenting essays, interviews, reviews, and more. There are over 100 documents included in “On Minimalism,” organized chronologically but also grouped under themes such as “Dream Music,” “Altered States,” and “Gurus and Teachers.” As Kerry and Will write in the book's introduction, “It's a retelling of the history of musical minimalism - a revisionist history…Who was there? What did it sound like? How was it described? And what is missing from how it was remembered?”We hope you enjoy Marc's conversation with Kerry and Will!

The guys continue to discuss sidekicks in January by discussing arguably the most famous sidekick of all, Robin! Robin #1 (2021), written by Joshua Williamson, with art by Gleb Melnikov, tells the tale of one of the more angsty of Batman's Robins, Damien Wayne. As the son of Batman and Talia al Guhl, Damien has a lot to live up to! Locked in a constant battle to balance his League of Assassins training with Batman's code of ethics, Robin sets out to forge his own path with a far more heavy handed technique than most heroes are comfortable with.

Or will his arrogance finally be kept in check? Find out in this exciting edition of Make Mine Paperback.

Colonialism reconfigured the world economy around the extraction of natural resources and the exploitation of humans to provide the labor for that extraction. A by-product was profound change to how people made, heard, and paid for music. In this episode we talk about what sound has to do with the Anthropocene, explore how profits from the slave trade had a direct impact on European musical life in the eighteenth century, and immerse ourselves in the soundscape, full of colliding cultural experiences, of a Jamaican dance hall at the turn of the 19th century.We begin by grappling with the Anthropocene, the era of human-caused climate change. There are solid arguments that it was sparked by European colonialism. Together we explain how empire, as early as 1600 CE, contributed to a “Little Ice Age,” before industrialization--and the intensive use of fossil fuels such as peat, wood, coal, steam, and petrochemicals--set temperatures rising again.Individual people paid the price. To find out more we look at the origins of the “triangular trade” of wind-borne commerce between Africa, the Americas, and Europe. We then turn to some pretty famous names from the history of Western Art Music, to discover the impact of the lucrative profits of this commerce, in particular the trafficking of enslaved people from Africa, had on their careers.Hearing the names of Handel, Mozart, and Haydn in association with the murderous trade in enslaved people may come as a shock, so we take some time to understand music-makers and consumers as actors in music history, unpacking connections between high art and the global economy of the early Anthropocene. Or to put it more bluntly, between “then and them,” and “now and us.”Our next stop is early nineteenth-century Jamaica. We take a look (and a listen) to that island's fraught colonial history, by “entering” Abraham James's painting, “A Grand Jamaica Ball,” moving from its two dimensions to an imaginary sonic three. Pictures don't make noise, it's true, but if you take time with them, they can reveal a lot about the human experience of sound. We'll be doing this frequently in the podcast: looking across times and places for unexpected sonic clues about how people lived their lives. Especially in the pre-electrical era paintings, sculpture, prose, and other objects are key materials in our sonic-historic workshop. Key PointsGlobal history took a new turn around 1500 with the beginning of Western colonial expansion and the rise of a new global economy based on resource extraction and long-distance trade. This new turn had a direct and measurable impact on Earth's environment: many historians now place the beginning of the Anthropocene (the era of human-made climate change) around 1600.One fundamental impact of Western expansion and empire included the large-scale eradication of Indigenous people through disease and violence. Another was the enslavement of Africans and their transport to the Americas, a process marked by unspeakable mass violence. Both catastrophes changed global soundworlds in many ways.Historical honesty compels us to recognize that heroes of Western Art Music such as Haydn, Handel and Mozart were all connected to the new global economy. None of them could have had the careers they did without money from patrons whose money came from trade in resources like sugar, which in turn depended on enslavement and the exploitation of human suffering.ResourcesGary Tomlinson's ground-breaking work on the deep history of music includes A Million Years of Music: The Emergence of Human Modernity.Simon L.

Presenting eclectic, irreverent marathons of experimental music in crumbling venues on the Lower East Side, Bang on a Can sold out concerts for a genre that had been long considered box office poison. Founded in 1987 by three composers who met while students at Yale--David Lang, Michael Gordon, and Julia Wolfe--Bang on a Can has become a multifaceted organization with a major record deal and a virtuosic in-house ensemble that changed the landscape of avant-garde music in the United States. Will Robin's book, Industry: Bang on a Can and New Music in the Marketplace (Oxford University Press, 2021), tells the story of Bang on a Can's first fifteen years. He contextualizes Ban on a Can's development in a time when traditional funding sources for classical music were disappearing and major institutions were often unwilling to take a chance on contemporary music. In the wake of the unexpected popularity of Steve Reich and Philip Glass, classical presenters looked to contemporary music for relevance and record labels scrambled to reap its potential profits, all while government funding was imperiled by the evangelical right. As the title indicates, at heart, Industry is about the classical music industry at a time when it faced enormous challenges and how Bang on a Can maneuvered through this minefield. Kristen M. Turner is a lecturer in the music and honors departments at North Carolina State University. Her research centers on race and class in American popular entertainment at the turn of the twentieth century.

It gets heated. P.S. They are infinitely sorry to Lily, who they completely stomped all over in this call. It will not happen again. 27:07[content warning: sensitive topics] After finding multiple mass graves of Indigenous children under Catholic residential schools throughout Canada, Mark is wondering if we should switch from using the term “atheist” to “anti-theist” to more strongly condemn these kinds of horrific actions. Vi suggests getting more specific, while Eric suggests the term “anti-theismist.” To learn more about what is going on in Canada, check out these reports: - https://abcnews.go.com/International/recently-discovered-unmarked-indigenous-graves-canada-nears-1000/story?id=78472829 - https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-57325653 44:11Are Eric and Vi strong atheists or weak atheists? This presup wants to know, but comes up against some difficulty when the hosts don't play along with the script. Eric wants better definitions, and Vi cuts to the chase with some good old neuroscience. Will Robin call back to talk about his “revelatory epistemology” next week? 1:09:03 What can math tell us about how we label things? Are apples numbered or are numbers appled? If a wire mesh exists, what can we say about platonic ideals? Is any of this making sense? During this call, Nick suggests that numbers are nouns that we can add adjectives to. Eric argues that numbers are just another set of adjectives to describe things that exist. 1:15:54How would you explain to a conservative Christian the difference between being transgender and identifying as transracial? “You wouldn't,” Vi says, pointing out that a nuanced conversation of this caliber shouldn't be overly simplified to people with a 4th grade-level understanding of biology and sociology. They suggest watching T1J's video on the subject (linked below) to get a better and more qualified explanation of the topic. Check out T1J's video here: https://youtu.be/7HD5jHSkmN8 1:23:07Eric had one job. Just one. And what did we get? The worst outro in Skeptic Generation history… and that's a tough record to hold. Please shame him in the comments.____________

Robin Laws had a dream, which led him to write a short story, and use that to create The Yellow King Roleplaying Game. Once HP Lovecraft dreamed of a book called the Necronomicon. Will Robin's RPG turn out to be as baleful as that unsettling tome? There is only one way to find out... Also, it's nominated for an Ennie, along with companion work Absinth in Carcosa! Go vote now! To encourage you, Plot Points is going to be putting out an episode every day this week! Ben’s book on RPG adventure design, Encounter Theory, is on DriveThruRPG. Click here to pick up this essential volume! Like Plot Points? Support it on Patreon at the $2 level, and you’ll get a sneak peek into Ben’s book about the sale of TSR to Wizards of the Coast! This chapter concerns TSR West, an effort by TSR to open an LA office devoted to producing comic books, an effort that failed rather impressively. It is the product of a dozen interviews with professionals from comics, gaming, and Hollywood, and as far as I can reckon, it is a tale entirely untold until now. Image courtesy Pelgrane Press.
