Podcast appearances and mentions of william knoedelseder

On episode 27 of The Ian Ira Rousso Show, I spoke to comedian and author, Lue Deck, who I met at a storytelling show in January. I read about some of Lue's experiences in William Knoedelseder's “I'm Dying Up Here”, a book whose accounts became the inspiration of the Showtime series of the same name. Some of these stories left me in absolute awe so when I finished, I invited Lue to be on the podcast. In the early-1970's, Lue quit law to pursue comedy in Houston before moving to Los Angeles where he found work at The World-Famous Comedy Store both on Sunset and in Westwood. Dubbed one of Mitzi's Boys, Lue would work with soon-to-be household names, originated The Comedy Channel and eventually becoming the club's archivist, as well as the head of security. The camaraderie of the young club was put to the test in 1979 when much of the club's talent would go on strike; an issue that has caused contention even 45 years later. Lue talks about his experience working The Comedy Store during the strike, as well as some of the remaining tension with a then soon-to-be Tonight Show even today. Over the course of a career most new to this business would only dream of (including myself), Lue has performed stand-up comedy all over the WORLD. He recalls fondly of getting to perform in North and South Korea literally AT THE SAME TIME, performing for Apple, Microsoft and NASA, as well as a story of performing for the president of The Philippines; a story that he says resulted in the best thing that's ever happened as the result of being a comedian. When you have a career that long, you might have some wisdom to dispense. Lue's is to learn to say “thank you” in as many languages as you can. For him, it's literally 40! I know TWO! That, and it all starts with a smile! Lue has performed thousands and thousands of shows; clubs, USO tours. He was featured in “I Am Sam Kinison” and even had the honor of being nominated for a Peabody award. He has a book out now called Stand-Up Decoded. This was one of those episodes where I tried listening far more than I did talking. Did I knock it out of the park? Absolutely not! However, I am absolutely grateful for the opportunity.

.... But where's that familiar intro music?! If you're looking for the regular Strong Towns Podcast, never fear—it'll be back next week. Today we're cross-posting a recent episode of Upzoned, a podcast we launched in September featuring Strong Towns's own Kea Wilson, Chuck Marohn, and occasional guests. Each week, they pick one recent news story that's part of the Strong Towns conversation, and they discuss it in depth. We wanted to make sure you haven't missed Upzoned—there's a new episode every Friday if you like what you're hearing! If you’re plugged into the urbanist blogosphere, you’ve probably heard something about the new federal Opportunity Zones by now. And you might even think they sound pretty good. After all, anything that incentivizes investment in underserved areas sounds like a pretty good deal—and by eliminating capital gains taxes on new development in some of the poorest regions of your state, there’s no doubt that the money will come pouring in. But Upzoned hosts Kea and Chuck aren’t so sure. Is a big bucket of money really what these neighborhoods need? Will outside developers really build the kind of locally responsive, fine-grained stuff that would make these towns strong and lift up the people who are already there? What would a better Opportunity Zones program look like—or is using a federal program to develop a neighborhood like steering an ocean liner with a canoe paddle? And then in the Downzone, Chuck and Kea talk about their recent reads. Hear Chuck’s final thoughts on Mariana Mazzucato’s The Value of Everything, and get the behind-the-scenes scoop on Kea’s recent interview with author William Knoedelseder on his new bookFins: Harley Earl, The Rise of General Motors and the Glory Days of Detroit.

On Thursday's St. Louis on the Air, host Don Marsh spoke with author and St. Louis native William Knoedelseder about his latest book, "Fins: Harley Earl, the Rise of General Motors, and the Glory Days of Detroit.”

In this age of startups, creative destruction, public companies and activist investors, it's hard to imagine the idea of creating a huge industrial empire, run by successive generations of familyFew empires exemplify this better than the history of Anheuser-Busch.  From its Germanic roots in St. Louis, it’s a story of all that is American culture, good and bad.  Ambition, philandering divorce, substance abuse, violence, family feuds, all washed down with a beer.It’s a saga of an American family and an American beer, told by longtime LA Times reporter William Knoedelseder in Bitter Brew: The Rise and Fall of Anheuser-Busch and America's Kings of Beer.My conversation with William Knoedelseder:
