Richardson, Mike, the Big Bopper. Chantilly Lace was, I was born, but you are not in 1958. Oh, baby, you know what I like. I know what I like. The Big Bopper, of course, killed in the plane crash that took Buddy Holly, Richie Valens. Big Bopper would have been 93 today. And that was the actual day the music died, right? That is the reference that Don McLean makes in American Pie. A lot of people think he's referencing the killing of John Lennon, but he was really talking about the plane crash. It was written a decade before John Lennon got killed. It's stupid. Somebody said that a year ago, said that was a reference to the sassafation of John Lennon. Maybe it was the death of Stevie Ray Vaughan, maybe. I don't know, guys. Maybe Jimmy Buffett is involved somehow. Jeez. Well, listen, great job with Jake Elsie yesterday. I listened to it. In fact, I played it on my show after you conducted the interview. I'm gonna quote my dear friend, Mark Davis. Dude, dude. I mean, that's Jake Elsie's response. You gotta be kidding me. I wanna see if I can get this right. And I don't know the guy, you know him, you like him, you're friends, and I'm, you know, the friend of my friend is ostensibly my friend, but man, he has blown this big time. Let me see if I can get this straight. If five or six of his colleagues, only five or six had voted against Jim Jordan, he'd have been all in for Jim Jordan. But 19, I guess, is a bridge too far. Provides you cover. It means that your no vote is a statement you seek to make, but would not preclude his ascendance. But five or six isn't much of a statement. And incidentally, that was intriguing considering how he told you he didn't talk to anybody about how they were voting. So I don't even know how he knew that there would be either five or six versus 19, but let's move on. Then he said that he got 300 phone calls in his office.

A highlight from New opportunities in the federal space for voice communication modernization, Ribbon Podcast
"This is Doug Green, and I'm the publisher of TR Publications, and I'm very pleased to have with us today Dave Hogan, who's the Vice President for Enterprise and Government at Ribbon Communications. Dave, thank you for joining me today. Doug, thanks for having me, as usual. Great to be here. Well, I'm very pleased to have you, and I also thank you for being a reader and a long -time reader at that, so a double thank you for your presence and taking time out to talk to us. So, you know, Dave, we're going to be talking about some really important issues today, but before we dive into our topics today, can you just tell us a little bit of an update on Ribbon? Yeah, you know, Ribbon Communications Company has been around for many, many years. Most people know us by a lot of different brands that we've either acquired or merged with over several years, so Nortel Networks, General Bandwidth, which became Genband, Sonus Networks, Edgewater Networks, ANOVA Data, and then most recently, three years ago, we acquired an IP and optical company by the name of ECI out of Tel Aviv, Israel. So our business really is focused on, you know, communications infrastructure across voice data and wireless networks, so we work with service providers, wireless providers, large enterprises, government sectors across the globe in order to provide communications infrastructure solutions. So you know, we're looking at 2024, we're already starting to look about future and modernization, so let's start off with, can you tell me a little bit more about the opportunity you see in the federal space for voice communication modernization? Sure, you know, the US government as well as many governments globally, right, you know, they operate in a, you know, a very functional environment in terms of technology, right? I like to think of the lead model, right, how enterprises operate, you know, you have a strategy, you design it, you build it, you run it, you operate it, and then you get to the next technology. Most companies, you know, at an enterprise level, they operate in a period of five to ten years in terms of the lifespan of that technology. Federal governments can be very different in terms of, you know, the lifespan of that technology, so we're currently working with many, many organizations within the federal government as they're looking to upgrade their voice networks, they're having to upgrade the which applications could be unified communications, contact centers, auto attendants, ACDs across, you know, across many, many sectors of the federal government. So as you see Microsoft Teams, you know, at the forefront of user adoption, there's still continued requirement for connectivity between internal users within an organization as well as external citizens, users, third party organizations that are still connected in a TDM infrastructure environment that need to connect, whether it's, you know, voice at a local level or long distance level, could be a variety of applications for communications engagement there. What we see is the ability to uplift and modernize that technology by integrating ribbon applications and solutions, whether it's a gateway for, you know, IP to TDM technology, it could be an SBC for session border controller functionality, or our application server, which is aligned or interconnected with Microsoft Teams to ensure communication still happens, you know, in a real time basis across an agency's network. So as we know, the White House has been heavily funding federal IT modernization via the Technology Modernization Fund, in which investments are dedicated to building and improving digital services at federal agencies. So what are some of the driving forces behind the push to modernize the federal network infrastructure? I think a lot of it, Doug, just has to do with the end user experience. You know, as humans, we've all become more adaptive to the use of applications, to the use of mobile devices, to handsets, to iPads. And as we continue to adopt and use more and more of that technology, agencies within the federal government to meet the needs of their customer, which essentially is citizens and businesses of the United States. So if you have an organization like the Internal Revenue Service, they need to have a modern solution for communications between the businesses and the citizens of the United States who are asking questions about tax returns, filing tax returns, looking to get a specific code in order to file that return. They have a fraudulent event. They need assistance there. Having real time communications becomes very valuable to the experience of someone working with the IRS, as an example. I think the VA and the hospitals are another great example where you have veterans that are in need of modern critical patient care, whether that's a Vietnam veteran who needs a hip replacement to an Iraqi veteran who may be going through PTSD and has some particular crises that they need to deal with. The VA needs to be accessible to a patient regardless of their physical, mental, and technology becomes valuable there. So as we can assist the White House and the federal government in order to make investments into technology that improves real time communications, that becomes significant for a veteran of the United States that needs that help and assistance. So we feel very strongly and passionate that while we provide technology, at the end of the day, we're providing a service and the services to improve the experience of the end user for our customers, whether it's the Veterans Affairs Hospitals or the IRS or the U .S. and their families, regardless of that environment. Right. It's our job to help provide a great service and experience for how they communicate. So what kind of benefits can agencies expect to see from upgrading their network infrastructure? Gosh, you know, Doug, it's very similar to a for -profit company. I think about the goals and the initiatives of a for -profit company. They're looking to improve their productivity. They're looking to reduce the cost of doing business and they're looking to improve the customer experience in a for -profit environment. Obviously, it's important that they grow top line revenue and they drive margins and profit for their business. But those three key pillars that I mentioned regarding the experience of the end user, productivity of the workforce and then reduce costs, those are highly valuable to an organization or an entity, whether you're a school system, whether you're the Health and Human Services or even the national parks, which I'm very fond of, you need to continue to provide that experience and leveraging that technology becomes very valuable over time for them. So, you know, as an agency that serves, you know, the United States, we, you know, we get the best we get the best experience possible with those agencies. And you see these benefits trickling down, having a trickle down effect on the contractors and vendors that work for the government? I do. You know, it definitely provides a lot of opportunities for vendors and contractors. We're fortunate to work with several. Dell is a great example where we have a very strong partnership with Dell. We've been fortunate to be very active with Dell in the Department of Defense and engagement of some voice modernization opportunities. CACI is another very strong partner that we work with. VAE, Lidos, Verizon, AT &T, I could name many, many more, but these are partners of ours that are also contractors of the United States government that are working to do site surveys. They're installing new local area networks, Wi -Fi networks, you know, wide area networks across the board. They're upgrading that technology. They're upgrading headsets, handsets, video conferencing equipment. You know, there's a variety of applications, software and hardware that contractors are benefiting from and providing a valuable service to the federal government. So, you know, have you over the past year witnessed an increase in demand for modern voice communication? So DISA, which is essentially the IT department for the Department of Defense, they've put a mandate in place, right, that they are completely eliminating the TDM network and sunsetting that by March twenty twenty four. And so it's a excuse me, March twenty twenty five, the requirement for the Army, the Navy, the Air Force, you know, they have to up the communications infrastructure in order to meet the needs that are necessary to migrate to an IP based network. So we have definitely seen an increase in activity, volume and engagement with many with many, many agencies there on the public sector side. We continue to see more and more user adoption of Microsoft Teams as well as Zoom. And that's driving increased demand for voice modernization as well as those agencies look to incorporate a external voice communications environment with the needs of their internal communications as well. So what are some of the needs the federal agencies are trying to fill better with telecom technology in the public sector? I think the need is really accessibility. You know, you have individuals within the federal government that are similar to private, private, private corporations where someone may not be working in an office five days a week. They could be in a hybrid environment working in an office two days a week, three days a week. They could be working remotely the rest of the time. They still need to have the same experience, whether they're working from home or they're working in a in a federal facility. If you're a if you're an administrator for the U .S. Army Hospital organization, you could be at Fort Campbell, Kentucky one day and Fort Knox, Kentucky the next day. Well, you still need to have the same connectivity and communications regardless of which hospital that you're at. So those are the needs that I see that continue to be applicable and beneficial because that that just improves the productivity of the person. It improves their job satisfaction and improves the quality of the experience that the people they work with on a daily basis are able to have. So are there or what are the risks for agencies if they don't do their updates? Yeah, I think the biggest one is security, obviously, first and foremost. You see the number of TDoS attacks, DDoS attacks, robocalling, spam calls that happen on a, you know, on an almost hour by hour, minute by minute basis. If you don't upgrade the technology, you put yourself at risk. And protection for of your internal infrastructure environment there, you know, as we've seen on the private sector side with, you know, casinos, with retail chains, with financial institutions, right, no one wants to have their personal data exposed and at risk. So it's, you know, it's highly important that federal agencies make those investments and those upgrades as well in order to protect our information, as well as the information of the federal government. The other one I would just say is obsolescence. You know, technology that's been in place for 20, 25, 30 years, parts just aren't available anymore, Doug. You know, I hate to say that as a 51 year old guy, right? I don't, I don't, I don't run or I don't run swim or bike like I used to. And so it's the same with technology. You know, that, that obsolescence is, is ultimately going to happen. And those parts just can't, can't be replaced. So there's a, you know, there's an impact of not being able to maintain a current environment state of communications without continuing to make those investments. So, uh, you know, where do you start? How do you start this process? Oh, um, and it's a, you know, it's a great question, right? I always look at not the technology element, but I look at the, the organizational element, you know, what is the, what is the, what is the purpose and the mission of an organization, you know, what are they ultimately trying to accomplish and achieve who is the, the person that they're serving, you know, at the very end of the engagement model, how are they trying to communicate effectively with those individuals, how are they trying to communicate internally against, uh, their own department or other departments within the agency? It, I believe it's valuable to have a clear understanding of the mission, the purpose for the communications environment of an organization in order to successfully create a technology infrastructure that's the most meaningful for that agency. Once you have that, that, that strategy in that direction, then you, then you build consensus right within an organization, you, you align your partnerships, you align your contractors, you align thought leaders to come up with a constructive strategy and execution plan in order to, you know, upgrade modernize, you know, every facet of the, you know, of your infrastructure necessary to be successful. And does Ribbon come in the door with some, some tools to help with that process? We do, you know, we have, uh, we have a variety of products. We have, you know, our, our, I would say at the heart of it for what we call our cloud and edge products are our session border controllers, right? Those are secure communication devices, right? That ensure that that information is being passed back and forth in a packet environment. That information goes from an IT environment over to TDM. We have gateway technology, you know, that connects those two networks together. We have, uh, uh, a great product called application server that's used by many, many agencies of the federal government. That's a next generation PBX for most of the listeners who are familiar with that. Um, and it provides great feature functionality, parity to their existing environment and integrates well with Microsoft teams in order to, you know, deliver a rich feature solution. On the IP and optical side, we have, you know, IP switches and routers. We have optical routers that are connecting, you know, met, um, metropolitan networks, campus -wide networks. Um, we just, uh, finished a partnership with Texas A &M university where they put our IP and optical products into their network to create a private 5g environment for their campus. So for readers who don't, for listeners who don't know Texas A &M is the in largest university the United with over 83 ,000 students. So think about the number of buildings on that campus and the number of wifi networks required to, you know, run that environment, creating a private 5g network becomes very valuable for the university's campus -wide system there. And our technology was able to help, you know, put that in, put that model in place for. The other thing I was just going to mention is, you know, how active we've been with the FCC in terms of robocalling and some of the challenges that, you know, many of us have consumers have been facing, you know, we run things like identity theft, we run scorecards with, you know, with hundreds of service providers, the country of France just certified on our solution for robocalling to prevent some of the issues that are happening within that country. That's something that I'm very proud of that we worked with the FTC, the FCC several years ago in order to, you know, put stir shaken solutions in place in order to improve our, our own livelihood as citizens of the United States. I think we've all gotten phone calls about selling our house or being eligible for insurance or helping with a bank loan or, you know, what, whatever is, you know, top of mind to, you know, to somebody that's robocalling us, you know, with that, we would all love to see those calls go down, but, you know, the important thing is there are times when, you know, there's a legitimate, there's a legitimate color that someone that's reaching out, you know, a hospital as an example, or a bank that needs to get in touch with you, you know, putting, putting things like identity hub in place where, you know, that's a certified, um, honest call and lack of a better term, I think is something that we're really proud of the work that we've done with, uh, within our own company, as well as the U S government and hundreds of service providers in the United States. What does this all look like 20 years from now? If, if, if I had the answer to that, I'd be investing in the right companies at the moment. I think it's a very fascinating time for us. You see rapid advancements in technology today. We talked about it before the call, the telephone was originally invented right by an Italian in 1849. The first U S patent was in 1875 from Alexander Graham bell. The first satellite voice communications was in 1958. Um, the first, the first transmission across the worldwide web was in 1983. So 40 years ago, um, you know, think about how rapidly technology has advanced since 1849, when Meucci in first invented the telephone to where we are in 2023, you know, we're now looking at, you know, technology like private five G we're looking at, you know, chat, GPT and AI. Um, you know, we're looking at cloud environments, you know, with Amazon and Azure and Google, um, and Dell and Rackspace and many, many other companies out there. So I think what happens in 20 years really is up to us, right? It's up to us as individuals to determine what we believe is the most beneficial for mankind and how we use that technology to be better citizens of the world. You know, the old adage of, you know, is very true. And as stewards of communications technology, it isn't more applicable than our industry today. You know, we have a responsibility to educate and teach people about the use of technology and communications technology in productive and meaningful ways. If we can continue to do that as stewards of the earth of mankind, then I believe whatever happens 20 years from now, from a technology standpoint will be advantageous to every human being on this earth. But if we're, if we're greedy and you know, we're bullish on a particular technology without thinking about the long term impacts of the world, then that's irresponsible of us as individuals. Well, Dave, on that note, and on that very visionary note, I really want to thank you for joining me today. This has really been instructive and, you know, topic that we don't get to talk about often on our podcasts about, you know, where we're taking the huge federal organizations that help us and are part of everyday life. And of course, the defense posture of the United States. Where can we learn more about RIBN? Really easy, right? RIBNcommunications .com, rbbn .com. You can find more information about there. We're, you know, we're on Instagram, we're on Facebook. I'm not on TikTok very often, but we're there as well. So find your favorite social media channel and we're available to you. So Doug, I just want to say thanks for having me on. It's always great to have these conversations with you. As you said early, I'm a long time reader and advocate for telecom reseller. And I appreciate all the work you do for our industry. Well, Dave, ditto, ditto. And it's always a pleasure to see you personally. And it's always great to hear an update on RIBN. You guys, the DNA, you mentioned many historic features of our community. RIBN is part of that, that history and also the future. So I want to thank you again for joining us today. Thank you. Thank you.
Fading Memories: Alzheimer's Caregiver Support
A highlight from 288 - From Stress Relief to Joyful Moments: The Many Roles of Music in Caregiving
"The music is always changing so some songs are triggering a memory and others maybe they're just tapping along to and so it's probably the same you could experience this for yourself if you just played a a set list of songs from an era gone by songs you haven't heard in 10 or 20 years some of them are going to make you pick up and go oh this yeah i remember this one and some of them will make you sing along but others you might just kind of enjoy in the background and um and so that's kind of what's happening it's the amount of stimulation is completely personal and experiences like Roy's are unfortunately not that common they happen i'd say five to ten percent of the time um but for everybody we see lifts in mood improvements in sleep um and and those a reduction in those things like anxiety and aggravation and so on music can uniquely transport individuals with dementia to specific moments in their past eliciting reminiscence and triggering positive emotions it can reduce anxiety and agitation creating a calming and soothing environment caregivers often use personalized playlists incorporating songs from the individual's youth or culturally significant music to promote engagement and spark memories but what if you can't find the right music to connect with your loved one that was my situation which made me the ideal person to chat with steven hunt of vera an app that helps you find the specific pieces of music that will likely invoke all of the positive benefits that i just listed welcome to fading memories the podcast for caregivers of loved ones with

that some people will look to prey on the most vulnerable members of our society with modern technology scammers have more avenues to exploit people than ever before americans over the age of 65 especially those living with alzheimer's and dementia are receiving an average of almost 200 unwanted landline calls every week that's more than 28 calls a day from bad actors trying to defraud our loved ones even worse nearly 10 of these calls have no caller id making it even harder to distinguish between legitimate and fraudulent calls older adults are less likely to be tech savvy and more likely to be home during the day to answer these calls please don't rely on notes by the phone as an attempt to stop a crime before it happens you need imp imp offers advanced call protection and a

.joinimp as in paul .com also the link is in the show notes now on with our show thanks for joining me again fading memories listeners you know i always appreciate your time in your ears i have today my first australian guest they are recording from the it's kind of exciting to talk to somebody on the whole other side of the world with me is stephen hunt he is the co -founder of music health it's an app that is designed for many mental health purposes but it's also got a connection for those of us taking care of a loved one with dementia so thanks for joining me stephen do you go by steve or stephen uh steve okay stick with that jennifer a little zoom box says steven so so tell me about yourself before we were before i hit record you were giving me the details on your family history of lovely diseases like mine so start wherever you'd like to start with yeah well i'd like to start with um so music health as a as a company we started it with a mission to reintegrate music into health care and the premise here is that if you look at any ancient human civilization whether it be the aztecs the incas or the indigenous people of australia they all use music to heal and so this has been going back over 40 000 years in fact the indigenous people of australia used one of these it's the oldest recorded form of music therapy which takes back 40 000 years and we've forgotten all about that because we invented pharmaceuticals and we just now prescribe a drug and hope that's going to fix the problem uh but we really see it out in our company that there's an opportunity to reintegrate music into health care very broadly and we're starting with dementia because in than any pharmaceutical and as we know most pharmaceuticals aren't really making any difference with dementia we're nowhere near a cure nothing's really cutting through we're kind of just treating little symptoms here and there and and often the people that we start to work with have this massive cocktail of drugs they're on that are trying to compensate for each other's side effects and it's just their brains are even more scrambled um so but we've seen with music that it can completely transform them and i guess what drew me to this is as you said a personal connection my grandfather experienced alzheimer's disease when i was in my teens and i was watched him go through that progression with my grandmother who was caring for him and as i'm sure everybody who listens to this would know that's really heartbreaking for anybody to experience and incredibly difficult um but i was a musician as you can see i've got a few instruments behind me and um and i used to play music and it used to soothe him and kind of change and transform him and at the time i had no idea why i didn't know the science of it but but anyway but my grandmother also developed dementia but lived to the age of 100 so i think she was entitled to lose a few memories there um and um and yeah and i i was working in the music industry and a good friend of mine who was a who's now my co -founder nick um came to me one day with the film alive inside and i don't know have you ever seen it um i haven't seen it but i actually did an episode about it with a gentleman that was involved amazing so it's if you don't want to watch the whole thing which i do highly recommend bring the tissues um but if you don't have time even just going on youtube you can watch a few short clips and you'll get the idea um but that film was demonstrating the music and memory program which um which is incredible and that inspired us so what you what you see is this transformative effect of someone who is experiencing dementia is quite lost in space and time they don't know where they are um they don't know who their carers are they're probably feeling a little afraid and and that fear can manifest into either you know regretting regressing sorry into anxiety and depression or expressing in a much more aggressive and agitated manner and and neither of those are good um but both are very difficult to manage for carer and when they play music to these people that is from their past that's personally significant to them they become alive and hence the name of the movie it it quickens and they they seem to come back they seem to get a better use of their faculties they can move their body they can talk they can swallow and eat um and they can remember faces much more readily because what's happening is the music is stimulating their long -term memory and for some reason alzheimer's and dementia doesn't really affect the musical memory that they remain intact same with poetry it's kind of two really weird things like you'll find people who can't remember their wife and can't even remember their own name can just recount poems if they've learned them and sing along to songs and um and it's beautiful to watch and and when we get them into that stimulated state inviting them to maybe come and do hygiene care in the somebody who is much more aware of where they are in space and time they're much less likely to feel anxious and and scared and therefore you can actually engage and interact with them much more readily so so we created an app called vera and that's our first product which is designed for the carers of people living with dementia to be able to get this effect as easily as possible and do it as often as possible as well and and we see in a really advanced state that the carer is using the music when the person wakes up to help them get dressed and out of bed and get them moving they're using it to set the scene for for meals they're using it to to set the scene for washing and hygiene as i said um all these different things and even conversing and spending time with people because when these songs come up that they recognize they bring along beautiful memories and um and we can talk about those and relive them with the person and some of the most beautiful things i've seen in my work are when the family members are hearing memories for the first time that the songs have triggered and they're like oh we didn't even know about that you know and that's such a beautiful thing to get when you know your family member often at that stage can't even remember who you are um so so yeah that hopefully gives you a bit of a summary of the journey so far and what we're trying to do well and we're going to get into it a little bit more but i truly wish you guys had been around when my mom was still alive i had talked to a musician he was also a singer and we we talked about my struggle of finding music that my mom connected to i tried you know the era that she was in high school and maybe music that i remembered being played in the home when i was a kid although i think most of that was my dad and it just he suggested this one past guest he's like well you'll probably have to go through a hundred songs to find you know five to ten and i was like i can't even come up with a hundred songs that seem to be even close so that was the first struggle i did have a little success when i i thought back to my childhood and what my grandmother played when we were at her house i figured if i could remember it then maybe it would work with my mom and it it had it was better than the previous attempts but it was it was so frustrating and so i didn't get what you were talking about just a moment ago so i gave up but yeah you guys i think have solved that problem to some degree and the other challenges i know when she was living in the care home they didn't i don't think they played the right era of music now my mom was on the younger end they did have residents there that were probably 20 25 years older than my mom my mom died at 77 so you know it wasn't too terribly difficult to be 20 years older than her 15 years older and so i don't think she connected to any of that but in getting ready for this talk i was telling my husband i think that tomorrow's guest is from australia that'll be interesting and we were talking about the music and he's like well mom really loved big band and i'm like yeah she did but that's not necessarily from her era it's not the era that i would have picked yeah but then when he said that i was like why didn't i try that or did i try that so why don't you tell us how the app makes all of that easier absolutely i i think firstly i'd love to say that playing any music is great like music is absorbed by the brain it comes into our ears actually it has to cross the hemispheres and then there's about five or six different parts of the brain that have to work in concert to interpret what we perceive as music it's not just you know hearing a sound and making a quick response um it's so a bit of a brain workout and it's why we generally feel quite pleasurable when we're hearing something especially if we like it of course there's taste and we'll get get into that in a second but but first and foremost even if you don't know exactly what to play playing something is better than nothing generally and then um the second thing i wanted to sort of say first is that that's what music and memory started to do like decades ago so they've been going around with um volunteers and musicologists and trying to do exactly what you were doing them manually getting to know the person researching them working out where they lived and then what songs might have been big in that location at that time when their musical taste was forming and generally the the kind of key age you want to try to get back to is 15 through to 35 now the problem with 15 through to 35 for someone like yourself is you probably if you were alive you probably were for a little bit you weren't really old enough to remember much and most of your mom's music experience that you would have been um in knowledge of was when she was a parent and she'd been playing music probably for you and um and also that gets into a very different time where we started to get um moved away from records into cassettes and things like that if we go back into when your mom would have been 15 through to 35 there's a chance she might have had some records at home to play for herself but i would hazard a guess that most of what she did here came through the radio and either that or it was what she was exposed to in the town that she grew up and so what we do is we analyze some really simple bits of information so where was the person born where did they live when they grew up from 15 through 35 and you can put multiple countries multiple places because obviously not everyone stays in one place um what languages do they speak because that can be really interesting and um and then from there with that information we actually can build a pretty good starting point of looking at what was popular either on the charts we could look at what was popular from touring bands we could look at what was popular from radio plays and we've created a massive database that syncs up all of that information attached to every song from the universal music library which is the world's biggest music library um and it's got millions of songs so that's that's our secret sauce in the back background that has taken us um a huge amount of technology to build it actually takes AI to technology to listen to the song and to decide if it's going first of all if it's going to be relaxing or energizing or you know what what kind of emotional response will the song elicit that's the first thing we work out and then the AIs are also scraping the internet looking for that other information about popularity all the time and building up richer and richer strings so then when we get to those questions I asked um in the onboarding which are where was the person born when were they born and where did they grow up we can very quickly understand what were the popular songs around them in that place during those years and then if we know we ask do they have any favorite genres do they love classical or blues or reggae or rock and do they have any favorite artists sadly we don't often get that information if the family aren't involved and quite often in the residential aged care settings they're not and so that's a real shame but as I said as a starting point anyway we'll have a collection of songs which are separated into three stations one is to help that person relax another is to help that person get energized and motivated to get up and move and then a third one is to help that person reminisce and and find their own memories and they get presented from just those basic questions and then you've got a thumbs up and a thumbs down of course so that if a song creates a really great reaction the person knows the words and they're clapping along we hit like and if we want to we can also leave a little note and say oh they loved it they were clapping along it reminded them of their wedding day whatever it may be and we can save that song and every time we do that it gets pulled into the playlist so we can go back to those songs we know they know we know they love and we collect those over time but we're constantly trying to find more through the energize and relax playlists as well which are um pushing forward new songs so with that we tend to find that we we get about 50 to 75 percent hit rate um in the first go and then we're refining over time but but it really is simple it's just understanding the music that was really popular around that person in that stage of their life um but to do that because we've got customers who were born in china we've got customers who were born in japan in italy in france in yugoslavia you never all over the world so we've had to do this globally and look at this popularity metric across all genres all songs and all places and that's been really the hard part but now that we have that the the experience is simple and easy my mom might have been a little easier she was born in northern california lived her whole life in northern california not all the same town but the same region basically the san francis the greater san francisco bay area perfect i'm trying to remember yeah nope never lived anywhere else so but i'm i'm as you're talking i'm remembering stories so my maternal grandfather was an army chef during world war ii he had damaged his trigger finger with a um a saw i don't know what the it's not maybe it was a hacksaw um it didn't stop him from hunting but it stopped him from being shipped overseas my grandfather could open the fridge and most people would open the refrigerator and say oh there's nothing really much to eat in here and he could whip out the best sandwiches you'd be like i didn't see that tomato where'd you pull that tomato out of and i have inherited that so obviously he his family also owned a restaurant and a bakery so that that comes up through the genetics i'm assuming but when he was not home my mom would run up to other soldiers and and go daddy daddy so the as we were talking earlier you know my husband was like oh she your mom liked big band music which not wasn't necessarily her era um she graduated from high school in 1960 so 15 to 35 would have been um i should probably use the calculator for this math but she would so been 1960 like 1957 through i'm not sure when she was 35 she was born in 1943 i can't do math that fast in my head that's um 1958 should we start and then we're looking another 20 years so 58 to um 78.
Fading Memories: Alzheimer's Caregiver Support
A highlight from 288 - From Stress Relief to Joyful Moments: The Many Roles of Music in Caregiving
"The music is always changing so some songs are triggering a memory and others maybe they're just tapping along to and so it's probably the same you could experience this for yourself if you just played a a set list of songs from an era gone by songs you haven't heard in 10 or 20 years some of them are going to make you pick up and go oh this yeah i remember this one and some of them will make you sing along but others you might just kind of enjoy in the background and um and so that's kind of what's happening it's the amount of stimulation is completely personal and experiences like Roy's are unfortunately not that common they happen i'd say five to ten percent of the time um but for everybody we see lifts in mood improvements in sleep um and and those a reduction in those things like anxiety and aggravation and so on music can uniquely transport individuals with dementia to specific moments in their past eliciting reminiscence and triggering positive emotions it can reduce anxiety and agitation creating a calming and soothing environment caregivers often use personalized playlists incorporating songs from the individual's youth or culturally significant music to promote engagement and spark memories but what if you can't find the right music to connect with your loved one that was my situation which made me the ideal person to chat with steven hunt of vera an app

.joinimp as in paul .com also the link is in the show notes now on with our show thanks for joining me again fading memories listeners you know i always appreciate your time in your ears i have today my first australian guest they are recording from the it's kind of exciting to talk to somebody on the whole other side of the world with me is stephen hunt he is the co -founder of music health it's an app that is designed for many mental health purposes but it's also got a connection for those of us taking care of a loved one with dementia so thanks for joining me stephen do you go by steve or stephen uh steve okay stick with that jennifer a little zoom box says steven so so tell me about yourself before we were before i hit record you were giving me the details on your family history of lovely diseases like mine so start wherever you'd like to start with yeah well i'd like to start with um so music health as a as a company we started it with a mission to reintegrate music into health care and the premise here is that if you look at any ancient human civilization whether it be the aztecs the incas or the indigenous people of australia they all use music to heal and so this has been going back over 40 000 years in fact the indigenous people of australia used one of these it's the oldest recorded form of music therapy which takes back 40 000 years and we've forgotten all about that because we invented pharmaceuticals and we just now prescribe a drug and hope that's going to fix the problem uh but we really see it out in our company that there's an opportunity to reintegrate music into health care very broadly and we're starting with dementia because in than any pharmaceutical and as we know most pharmaceuticals aren't really making any difference with dementia we're nowhere near a cure nothing's really cutting through we're kind of just treating little symptoms here and there and and often the people that we start to work with have this massive cocktail of drugs they're on that are trying to compensate for each other's side effects and it's just their brains are even more scrambled um so but we've seen with music that it can completely transform them and i guess what drew me to this is as you said a personal connection my grandfather experienced alzheimer's disease when i was in my teens and i was watched him go through that progression with my grandmother who was caring for him and as i'm sure everybody who listens to this would know that's really heartbreaking for anybody to experience and incredibly difficult um but i was a musician as you can see i've got a few instruments behind me and um and i used to play music and it used to soothe him and kind of change and transform him and at the time i had no idea why i didn't know the science of it but but anyway but my grandmother also developed dementia but lived to the age of 100 so i think she was entitled to lose a few memories there um and um and yeah and i i was working in the music industry and a good friend of mine who was a who's now my co -founder nick um came to me one day with the film alive inside and i don't know have you ever seen it um i haven't seen it but i actually did an episode about it with a gentleman that was involved amazing so it's if you don't want to watch the whole thing which i do highly recommend bring the tissues um but if you don't have time even just going on youtube you can watch a few short clips and you'll get the idea um but that film was demonstrating the music and memory program which um which is incredible and that inspired us so what you what you see is this transformative effect of someone who is experiencing dementia is quite lost in space and time they don't know where they are um they don't know who their carers are they're probably feeling a little afraid and and that fear can manifest into either you know regretting regressing sorry into anxiety and depression or expressing in a much more aggressive and agitated manner and and neither of those are good um but both are very difficult to manage for carer and when they play music to these people that is from their past that's personally significant to them they become alive and hence the name of the movie it it quickens and they they seem to come back they seem to get a better use of their faculties they can move their body they can talk they can swallow and eat um and they can remember faces much more readily because what's happening is the music is stimulating their long -term memory and for some reason alzheimer's and dementia doesn't really affect the musical memory that they remain intact same with poetry it's kind of two really weird things like you'll find people who can't remember their wife and can't even remember their own name can just recount poems if they've learned them and sing along to songs and um and it's beautiful to watch and and when we get them into that stimulated state inviting them to maybe come and do hygiene care in the somebody who is much more aware of where they are in space and time they're much less likely to feel anxious and and scared and therefore you can actually engage and interact with them much more readily so so we created an app called vera and that's our first product which is designed for the carers of people living with dementia to be able to get this effect as easily as possible and do it as often as possible as well and and we see in a really advanced state that the carer is using the music when the person wakes up to help them get dressed and out of bed and get them moving they're using it to set the scene for for meals they're using it to to set the scene for washing and hygiene as i said um all these different things and even conversing and spending time with people because when these songs come up that they recognize they bring along beautiful memories and um and we can talk about those and relive them with the person and some of the most beautiful things i've seen in my work are when the family members are hearing memories for the first time that the songs have triggered and they're like oh we didn't even know about that you know and that's such a beautiful thing to get when you know your family member often at that stage can't even remember who you are um so so yeah that hopefully gives you a bit of a summary of the journey so far and what we're trying to do well and we're going to get into it a little bit more but i truly wish you guys had been around when my mom was still alive i had talked to a musician he was also a singer and we we talked about my struggle of finding music that my mom connected to i tried you know the era that she was in high school and maybe music that i remembered being played in the home when i was a kid although i think most of that was my dad and it just he suggested this one past guest he's like well you'll probably have to go through a hundred songs to find you know five to ten and i was like i can't even come up with a hundred songs that seem to be even close so that was the first struggle i did have a little success when i i thought back to my childhood and what my grandmother played when we were at her house i figured if i could remember it then maybe it would work with my mom and it it had it was better than the previous attempts but it was it was so frustrating and so i didn't get what you were talking about just a moment ago so i gave up but yeah you guys i think have solved that problem to some degree and the other challenges i know when she was living in the care home they didn't i don't think they played the right era of music now my mom was on the younger end they did have residents there that were probably 20 25 years older than my mom my mom died at 77 so you know it wasn't too terribly difficult to be 20 years older than her 15 years older and so i don't think she connected to any of that but in getting ready for this talk i was telling my husband i think that tomorrow's guest is from australia that'll be interesting and we were talking about the music and he's like well mom really loved big band and i'm like yeah she did but that's not necessarily from her era it's not the era that i would have picked yeah but then when he said that i was like why didn't i try that or did i try that so why don't you tell us how the app makes all of that easier absolutely i i think firstly i'd love to say that playing any music is great like music is absorbed by the brain it comes into our ears actually it has to cross the hemispheres and then there's about five or six different parts of the brain that have to work in concert to interpret what we perceive as music it's not just you know hearing a sound and making a quick response um it's so a bit of a brain workout and it's why we generally feel quite pleasurable when we're hearing something especially if we like it of course there's taste and we'll get get into that in a second but but first and foremost even if you don't know exactly what to play playing something is better than nothing generally and then um the second thing i wanted to sort of say first is that that's what music and memory started to do like decades ago so they've been going around with um volunteers and musicologists and trying to do exactly what you were doing them manually getting to know the person researching them working out where they lived and then what songs might have been big in that location at that time when their musical taste was forming and generally the the kind of key age you want to try to get back to is 15 through to 35 now the problem with 15 through to 35 for someone like yourself is you probably if you were alive you probably were for a little bit you weren't really old enough to remember much and most of your mom's music experience that you would have been um in knowledge of was when she was a parent and she'd been playing music probably for you and um and also that gets into a very different time where we started to get um moved away from records into cassettes and things like that if we go back into when your mom would have been 15 through to 35 there's a chance she might have had some records at home to play for herself but i would hazard a guess that most of what she did here came through the radio and either that or it was what she was exposed to in the town that she grew up and so what we do is we analyze some really simple bits of information so where was the person born where did they live when they grew up from 15 through 35 and you can put multiple countries multiple places because obviously not everyone stays in one place um what languages do they speak because that can be really interesting and um and then from there with that information we actually can build a pretty good starting point of looking at what was popular either on the charts we could look at what was popular from touring bands we could look at what was popular from radio plays and we've created a massive database that syncs up all of that information attached to every song from the universal music library which is the world's biggest music library um and it's got millions of songs so that's that's our secret sauce in the back background that has taken us um a huge amount of technology to build it actually takes AI to technology to listen to the song and to decide if it's going first of all if it's going to be relaxing or energizing or you know what what kind of emotional response will the song elicit that's the first thing we work out and then the AIs are also scraping the internet looking for that other information about popularity all the time and building up richer and richer strings so then when we get to those questions I asked um in the onboarding which are where was the person born when were they born and where did they grow up we can very quickly understand what were the popular songs around them in that place during those years and then if we know we ask do they have any favorite genres do they love classical or blues or reggae or rock and do they have any favorite artists sadly we don't often get that information if the family aren't involved and quite often in the residential aged care settings they're not and so that's a real shame but as I said as a starting point anyway we'll have a collection of songs which are separated into three stations one is to help that person relax another is to help that person get energized and motivated to get up and move and then a third one is to help that person reminisce and and find their own memories and they get presented from just those basic questions and then you've got a thumbs up and a thumbs down of course so that if a song creates a really great reaction the person knows the words and they're clapping along we hit like and if we want to we can also leave a little note and say oh they loved it they were clapping along it reminded them of their wedding day whatever it may be and we can save that song and every time we do that it gets pulled into the playlist so we can go back to those songs we know they know we know they love and we collect those over

but to do that because we've got customers who were born in china we've got customers who were born in japan in italy in france in yugoslavia you never all over the world so we've had to do this globally and look at this popularity metric across all genres all songs and all places and that's been really the hard part but now that we have that the the experience is simple and easy my mom might have been a little easier she was born in northern california lived her whole life in northern california not all the same town but the same region basically the san francis the greater san francisco bay area perfect i'm trying to remember yeah nope never lived anywhere else so but i'm i'm as you're talking i'm remembering stories so my maternal grandfather was an army chef during world war ii he

Olympian Jeff Galloway Shares His Inspirational Journey
"Today we have an Olympian, and he's an athlete, he's a coach. We want to give a great big welcome to Jeff Galloway. Welcome to the show, Jeff. Great to be here, Carla. I am so honored to have you on the show. So I just hit a few of the highlights of you. Can you tell us a little bit more about you and how long you've been running and when you got started? Yes, I began running in 1958. I was entering the eighth grade at a school that required boys to go out for athletics after school. I had not done much of that, partly any of it, because during my first seven years of school, my father had been in the Navy and I had gone to 13 schools during those first seven years. We were constantly bouncing around and I never got involved in sports or physical fitness or whatever. I was overweight, lazy, and forced with reality. I fell in with a group of kids in my classes who were runners, mainly because they were funny, and they dragged me out during the winter for Winter Cross Country. Well, I just absolutely hated it at first because I was exhausted and I very quickly found that within 30 minutes after a very hard exhausting workout, I felt better in my head and in my spirit than I had ever felt. And the other thing was, having gone to 13 schools in seven years of classes, I found it very difficult in a new area to meet friends. As soon as I got with the Cross Country guys, I had instant friends. I had good friends and I found that true with any running group that I've ever been a part of. And so I set as my goal to be able to keep up with my teammates and it was very, very difficult. I did not show a lot of promise. It took me until my senior year to be able to qualify to get into the state championships in Georgia, and Georgia was not a very good state competitively. I just wasn't good and I went on to a small liberal arts school, an academic school that didn't even offer scholarships. But as fate would have it, in the class behind me, a fellow entered named Ambie Burfoot and two years later when I was a senior, we were joined by Bill Rogers. All three of us were there and we didn't get scholarships. They didn't have them. We were at an academic school for the academics. Senior year, Ambie won the Boston Marathon. It's the only time an undergraduate has won the Boston Marathon before or since. And of course, we know what Bill Rogers went on to do. And it was just a wonderful coincidence that has yielded long -term friendships between the three of us. As a matter of fact, I kept in touch on a number of issues with Bill Rogers just during the last week and talked to Ambie quite often. Went on to, after graduation, to go into the Navy because I had a low draft number. That was unfortunately where I was exposed to Agent Orange, which later on became an issue, and my heart attack that occurred two years ago. But I got out of the Navy in 1970 and set as my sights the possibility of qualifying to get into the Olympic trials. I was way away from that, but I gave myself goals every six months and pretty much hit them. But I still had a good ways to go, going just right before the Olympic trials. Went to the national championships. I needed a minute and a half PR in the 10K and I ran two minutes faster and qualified to get into the Olympic trials. And then as fate would have it, on the day of the trials, it was a really hot day and I had been training in Florida for the previous two years. I knew how to pace myself in the heat and went out in last place for the first mile and then people started coming back to me. So I passed them one after another. And with about two miles left, I realized that I was in third place and then very quickly into second place and qualified for the US Olympic team. A week later, I paced one of my teammates from the Florida Track Club through the marathon because he had been disqualified. During the last stretch of the 10K, my teammate Jack Batchelor was in third place and was passed by another runner who happened to be the son of the mayor of Eugene, Oregon, where the trials were being held. And of course the crowd was cheering him on. So John Anderson passes my buddy Jack about 30 yards from the finish line, but Jack was exhausted and he was weaving and he bumped John as John went by and an official disqualified Jack. I've never seen that before or since, but it happened then. Significance was that a week later if I had been able to qualify in the marathon, I would have dropped out of the 10K, but that was no longer possible because Jack wouldn't move up if I did that. So I paced him through and was having to cheer him on and be the lookout and keep the positive mantras going like crazy during the last five miles. We entered that stadium together and the crowd was on their feet. I can still remember how my ears were just pounding and so I paced Jack right to the finish line backed off so that he could be the official qualifier. And it was just a wonderful experience to help a teammate become an Olympian.
The Eric Metaxas Show
John Zmirak Reveals Hunter's Shocking Shakedown Operation
"Should we start? Well, let's start with current events, you know, with the elephant that's in the bathtub being described by five blind men. And that is the fact that Hunter Biden, more and more evidence is emerging that he was engaged in a shakedown operation with foreign businessmen, that he ran with his father, who was the vice president of the United States. OK, I'm going to I'm going to do what I normally do and interrupt you right out of the gate and say. I and you knew this, we've known this for more than two years, but it has taken this long for it to kind of break out into the media because we have known this. I mean, when you say this to me, I'm thinking I've known this since the beginning. We have one of the most one of the most probably the most corrupt man in the White House, 50 year career politician amassing power and money. And it is finally coming out. So you wrote in your piece that it's hard not to feel slightly encouraged that it's finally coming out. That's right. This is the first evidence I've seen in a while that we don't live in Guatemala circa 1956 or the cat Cuba of 1958, where the country is run by the mafia. If you remember the Godfather to the Bidens have been running, running a shakedown operation of foreign countries. I used to think foreign countries like Ukraine had approached the Bidens with bribes. Now I see it's kind of the other way around. They were shaking them down, shaking down Chinese businessmen. I'm feeling sorry for Chinese communist businessmen
The Eric Metaxas Show
A highlight from Ch Ahn (Encore)
"Welcome to the Eric Metaxas show. They say it's a thin line between love and hate. But we're working every day to thicken that line, or at least make it a double or triple line. But now here's your line jumping host, Eric Metaxas. I have a very special guest today. As you know, on Miracle Mondays, we try to have someone on who believes in miracles, who's maybe experienced some miracles, whose life itself is a miracle. Today, I am thrilled to have in the studio with me, all the way from Pasadena, California, Che Ahn. How do I describe Che Ahn? He's the founder and president of Harvest International Ministry, a worldwide apostolic network of churches in over 60 nations. My goodness, he's also the international chancellor of Wagner University. He's received his master's and doctorate in ministry from Fuller Theological Seminary. He's written many books. He's been married for 40 years to his wife, Sue. They have four adult children, six grandchildren. I think that says it all. Che Ahn, welcome to the program. Well, thank you. What an honor to be on your show. Listen, it's my honor to have you. I've known you for many, many years. You haven't known of me, but I've known of your ministries. What was the one with fire in the title? I can't remember. It was Teen Mania, or what was it? It was something you did here in New York, like 12 or 13 years ago. Well, we did the Call New York. That's what it was. The Call New York. It was the Call New York. Yeah, 2001. That's, you know what? 2001? Yeah, after 9 -11. That is 18 years ago. Yeah, and it's interesting because initially when we came to mobilize the pastors, actually they were very, very rude. They said, we don't need the Call to come in. And then after 9 -11 hit, they said, we need to gather together and have a solemn assembly. We need to come together and repent of our sins. And before we knew it, over 100 ,000 people showed up in Flushing Meadow. The fact that that is 18 years ago completely blows my mind. Yeah, it's been a long time. Because I spoke briefly, I was on the stage, and I remember being amazed at the crowd. It was a huge crowd. Right. And I grew up in Flushing Meadow. I mean, I grew up a couple of miles from there, and we would, as a kid growing up in Queens, New York, I would hang out there. And so to see thousands and thousands of people, then that's when I met you. But for folks who know nothing about you, what is your story? How long have you been, by the way, in Pasadena? Well, I moved in 1984, but I grew up in Washington, D .C., in Montgomery County, Maryland. So this is out of D .C. My father was the first Korean Southern Baptist pastor in North America, so he immigrated in 1958. From Korea. From Korea, South Korea. There was no Korean Southern Baptist church in the United States. He was the first one, and so they wanted him at the nation's capital. There was a handful of Korean students who were studying at Georgetown, George Washington, Catholic University, to help rebuild Korea after the Korean War, which ended in 1953. Actually, it was a ceasefire that took place. And so they wanted the Korean government, wanted the top students to learn public policy, how to do government, and to rebuild Korea. And so there were around 200 students in Washington, D .C., but they wanted a Baptist pastor. There was a Presbyterian church, there was a Methodist, but not a Southern Baptist. And it was like my dad won the lotto. He applied and got the job because it was so hard to immigrate. I mean, it's hard now, but back in 1958 to immigrate to the United States, it was almost impossible because the U .S. government realized there was no Korean Southern Baptist church. So you were born here? No, here's the problem. We had a visa problem. So my sister, my mother, and I, we were separated from my dad for three years. And so finally, after three years, during my formative year or so, almost when I was five, then we got the visa to come to the United States. And so, to say the least, when I saw my dad, I couldn't recognize him because, you know, I was just two years old when he left. People have no idea what others go through. I mean, when you describe that and how many people want to come to America. But I mean, the idea that your father is a Southern Baptist preacher in America. Well, he passed away, but he was a pioneer. No, no, I mean, but in those days that he's from Korea. Right. And so you were raised in the faith, in the Christian faith. Well, I was, but I rejected Christianity very early on because of two things, you know. There was no kids in my Sunday school. It was just students, college students. And so there was no families. There was no other kids my age. And then I went to an elementary school, Forest Grove Elementary School. And my sister and I were the only two people of color in an all -white elementary school. And now, if you go to that school, it's very, very diverse. But back in those days, it wasn't until the fifth grade I remember someone of color coming in. And so there were no other Asians, no African -Americans, no Hispanic. And so we stood out. And so I got in fights all the time because people were calling me chink, even though I'm not Chinese. That's a drug term for Chinese and Jap, even though I wasn't Japanese. You know, by the way, I have a little joke. I say you could tell the difference between a Chinese, Japanese, and a Korean. If you see a rich -looking Asian, they're Chinese. A smart -looking Asian, they're Japanese. But if you see a handsome -looking Asian, he's Korean. Ha! Ha! Take that. Yeah, so anyway, but I got in fights all the time. And I wanted to be so accepted. Plus, my parents were working day and night just to survive in America. And so as a result of that, my craving for acceptance and to be popular led me into the whole hippie drug culture of the late 60s and early 70s. I joke I may have been the first Korean hippie in North America because I never met anyone. I stopped cutting my hair for three and a half years. And my dad is freaking out. He doesn't know what's going on. And by the time I'm 15, I'm doing everything under the sun. Heavy drug user, cocaine, heroin, LSD. And then by the time I'm 17, I'm pushing drugs to support my habit. And so I was totally out of control. But one thing my parents did was pray for me. And I really want to encourage people not to stop praying no matter how bad it looks. Because the Bible says in Acts 16 31, believe on the Lord Jesus and you and your family will be saved. And so my parents prayed me into the Kingdom. And so I'm here by the grace of God. I got radically saved at a Deep Purple concert. So that gives you a little clue where I was at. Wait a minute. You got saved at a Deep Purple concert? Yeah, in May 1973. They were just touring with Smoke on the Water, a new song that came out in 1972. And they were touring in 1973. And it was at the Baltimore Civic Center. I made a concert, 15 ,000 tickets sold out in two hours. They were the number one band in America at that time. And during the intermission I had an encounter with God where the Lord spoke to me for the first time. I'm not talking about audibly in the small still voice. Because I was having this for two weeks, this visitation from the Lord Jesus. Without anyone witnessing to me. That's why I'm saying the power of... Now when you say that because people are listening and I'm really one of them. Like you're thinking, what do you mean by that? I mean here you are, you know, you're a teenager, right? Right. You are big time into drugs and you're selling drugs. You go to a Deep Purple concert. Now you say that for two weeks up to that, God had been somehow communicating with you or visiting you. What do you mean specifically? Okay, so two weeks before I'm at my friend Sal's. We're at a party. Just guys bonging on marijuana and smoking and drinking beer. Nothing heavy. It wasn't like we were tripping on acid or anything. But I was just bored because I was just doing that every day. It was just so monotonous. You know, day in, day out, just getting high. So I went to another room and I was into Zen Buddhism at that time. Just experimenting with Eastern religion. So I went to the room just to go through my chant and after saying the stupid chant, I was saying it incessantly for almost a year. And finally I just said, you know what, this is the stupidest thing I've ever done. I said that to myself. I got nothing out of it, Eric. And you just said, duh. Yeah, right. No, but this is how he said that. So I said God, I said this audibly by the way, no one was in the room. I said, God, I don't even know if you exist, but if you do exist, if my parents, what they told me is true, that there's a heaven and a hell. Well, I don't want to go to hell if there is a hell, but I don't know. So reveal yourself to me. So I was expecting him to show me if he does exist in the days ahead. But as soon as I prayed that right there in the party, the presence of God came all over me and I started to weep because I felt so much love and peace about me. Alone in the room. Alone in my room. And I was sobbing and I knew, I knew it was Jesus. I just knew because I just prayed if what my parents told me as a Christian pastor, if Jesus is the way, if there is a heaven and a hell. And so I thought I was having some kind of emotional breakdown, but it lasted for three days. Every day that presence came on me and I would just start weeping. And I said, what is going on? No one witnessed to me. Are you kidding? Now hold on because we're going to go to a break. Jay on is my guest. It's Miracle Monday. I love these kind of stories. We'll be right back with the rest of the story. And there's plenty more. It's the air from Texas show.
The Eric Metaxas Show
A highlight from Thomas Howard (Encore Continued)
"Did you ever hear the expression, if life gives you lemons, make lemonade? Well, when Eric Metaxas was little, he had his own lemonade stand. And he sold so much lemonade, he became rich beyond his wildest dreams. Now he's able to do whatever he wants, and he's now the host of a big -time radio show. Welcome the guy who's oh so lemony sweet, Eric Metaxas! I am right now going to air an interview I did with my friend Tom Howard about one of the best books I have ever read in my life. It's called Chance of the Dance. He wrote it, and this is my Socrates in the City conversation with the great Tom Howard at his home. Do not miss it. Welcome to another Socrates in the City event here at the home of Thomas Howard, the great author and, I'm happy to say, my dear friend. He has written many books. In part one of this Socrates in the City interview with him, we talked principally about his book, Chance of the Dance, which I could rave and rave about and typically do. hour, In this I want to talk to him about lots of other things. My conversations with him over the years have been so fascinating that I really just wanted to share some of that with my Socrates in the City audience so that you could also get a taste of Tom and of his mind and be intrigued to want to read his books. So we're here without a studio audience. You're the audience, and so hold your applause. But I do have to say that it means so much to me that Tom and his dear wife Loveless have led us into their home with all these cameras and microphones and things, but it's a privilege for me, and I hope you'll enjoy it nearly as much as I do, so stay tuned. Tom, let me start with this in the second part of our conversation. You know that I love you, and I can say that to you because you have an understanding of that word. My understanding of that word comes from things I've read by you and C .S. Lewis. But you know that I love you, and it's such a joy to be with you that, as I think I said before, I could almost talk to you about anything because I enjoy talking to you. That's mutual, I have to say. I hope that doesn't embarrass you too much. But I revel in you and your emails and your letters and things. And actually, maybe a good place to start would be, we were talking before about your relationship with Lewis, and I asked you whether you'd kept any of the correspondence with him, and you said you thought it was in the Wade Center at Wheaton College, and you were at least slightly incorrect because in the other room, I just happened to find a framed letter from C .S. Lewis to Tom Howard. I think you're the Tom Howard in the letter. Dear Mr. Howard, Maudlin College, Cambridge. Oh, Cambridge, this was in 1958. He said both. And when I read this to you earlier, you almost memorized it. I just can't believe, first of all, his handwriting. What the heck? Amazing. It's beautiful. Right? Legible. It's legible. Dear Mr. Howard, oh, but believe me, you are still only paddling in the glorious sea of Tolkien. Go in for the hobbit at once. Go on from the hobbit. Go on from the hobbit at once to the Lord of the Rings. Semicolon. Three volumes and nearly as long as the Bible, but not a word too long. Three volumes and nearly as long as the Bible and not a word too long, parentheses, except for the first chapter. Which is a botch. Which is a botch. Don't be put off by it. This is hilarious. Is this in Walter Hooper's volumes of his letter in there? I don't know. I mean, the idea that, it's just delicious, that Lewis is calling the first chapter of Lord of the Rings a botch. A botch. But he loves the rest of it as much as anything. Then he says, the hobbit is merely a fragment of his myth, detached and adapted for children. And losing much by the adaptation. And losing much by the adaptation. The Lord of the Rings is the real stuff. Thanks for all the nice things you say about my own little efforts. Little efforts. Yours sincerely, C .S. Lewis. This is, how much can I pay you for this? Would you take, would you take a, no? What do you say? That's, I mean, you, look, I neglected to say this in the first hour. You taught at Gordon College for a long time. So you were a professor at the college level for a long time. And maybe I assume people know that, but many wouldn't. You taught English literature. Did you teach Tolkien? The English syllabus, I had to follow it. And I'm not sure that I ever actually did formally get the section, which I would have loved. But isn't it because when you were teaching college, maybe they wouldn't have thought of Tolkien as being worthy yet of being part of the canon. Yeah, I'm not sure. Right? I mean, that's my guess. Maybe they even think of Lewis as being worthy of being part of the canon. Even in a Christian college like Gordon. But I think I could have made it worthy of the canon. I mean, I think they would have, you know, eaten up if you really unpack what the Lord of the Rings is all about. Well, okay, then what is the Lord of the Rings all about? Is this where I get to admit that I've not read it? Yes, but you can still get into heaven, possibly. I've read Chance of the Dance many times. Just by being Eric, yeah. So what is the fascinating, I mean, there are many people that rave and rave about Tolkien. And there are many people that are unaware of Tolkien. I've heard people rave about him. I feel like I know lots about him. I know that he was instrumental in leading C .S. Lewis to faith in Jesus, which is an outrageous and amazing thing. But what is it about Tolkien for you? Well, I think he does an almost incredible job, piece of work, by opening out for us deprived, benighted moderns. Opening out the world of myth, of saga, of the ancient glory of narrative. I think that's what, you know, his work is, I would suspect, is unique in the modern epoch. Yeah. I am struck, very struck, by reading this letter, the way Lewis writes about the Lord of the Rings. I confess that I wasn't aware of his admiration for it at that level. Yeah, yeah. What do you think it is about Tolkien that Lewis so loved and admired? I think it's a tribute to Tolkien's own capacity of soul to see and love magnificence, which one is drawn into in the saga of the Lord of the Rings. Do you remember when you read the so -called space trilogy, when you read those books? You mean Lewis's... Lewis's The Anselm and the Paralandra and That Hideous Strength? It must have been while I was still in school. I'm not sure whether I had gone on to college by that time. I was a slow starter. Yeah. I often think that Paralandra is maybe Lewis's best book. I've never heard anyone share my opinion, but I think that well of it. Well, I couldn't disagree with you. I mean, it's a terribly hard choice, you know. What's Lewis's best word? Right. Well, there are passages toward the end of Paralandra which are just flights of beautiful language like I've never read. I mean, people crave about Gabriel Garcia Marquez or, you know, I've never read anything better than some of the passages there. But even the idea behind Paralandra, I mean, I think of it as I assume you taught Milton over the years. Yes, yes. So I think of Paralandra as his response to Paradise Lost and it ought to be taught in classes. In tandem with that, yeah.

"1958" Discussed on Bloomberg Radio New York
"Wall Street, we do check the markets all day long at Bloomberg, we begin with a developing story Joe and Kaley brought the headlines, moments ago, worth repeating The Walt Disney Company, which is embroiled in a high profile fight with Florida governor Ron DeSantis, is dropping plans to relocate 2000 California employees to a new corporate campus it was building in the state. The company did not mention that disputes specifically in a note to employees today saying only that conditions had changed since the move was announced almost two years ago. So again, repeating the headline, The Walt Disney Company is dropping a plan to move 2000 workers to Florida, shares of The Walt Disney Company they're up now by three tenths of 1%. It is a mixed day we have got the S&P 500 Index up ten up by about three tenths of 1%. The Dow down one O 7 now decline there are three tenths of 1% as stack up 96 that is the gain of about 8 tenths of 1%. Ten years at 3.63%, we do have the two year yielding 4.24% gold down 1.2% spot gold at 1958 the ounce, West Texas intermediate crew down 1.7%, 71 62 a barrel. Once again, Disney dropping that plan to move 2000 of its California workers to Florida. I'm Charlie peloton that is a Bloomberg business flash. You're listening to Bloomberg sound on with Joe Matthew and Kayleigh lines on Bloomberg radio. Another day of bank hearing here in Washington that's been quite the parade this week is the Senate banking committee today. Right where Kaylee lines was two days ago, but instead of the former executives of the banks that failed, Kayleigh today, they were talking to regulators, namely Michael Barr, the vice chair of supervision at the fed, whose boy they love, piling on Michael Barr, and that was the job today. Yeah, I definitely don't envy his position. I didn't envy it the first time around when he testified back in March because this was his second appearance before the committee on this bank failures issue. Of course, this one came after. The report that he released several weeks ago really, you know, the diagnostics of what exactly happened with the supervision of Silicon Valley bank where they failed and why, but it doesn't really seem like lawmakers were satisfied foley with those explanations and decided they wanted to press him on that particular issue further as well as the other regulators that were present, the FDIC chair was there as well, the acting OCC, you know, all of these part of the finger pointing at management. That's supervisors as to why this happened, but it's all really backward looking. I just want to know what's going to happen going forward. What do we do? So it doesn't happen again, right? Yeah, right. Kyrsten sinema who are going to be talking to you a little bit later on this hour, the senator from Arizona was even asking for a quarterly update. They want a much tighter leash. It sounds like on the fed, following what happened particularly at SVB. Yes, it does seem that way. And this comes back to the idea of what needs to be done in response to this because in theory there was regulatory authority that the Federal Reserve supervisors had that they weren't necessarily exercising to the fullest extent for banks between a 102 $150 billion in assets, so there is one side of the aisle that argues they just need to do a better job of doing what we already gave them. The authority that we already gave them, the other side saying, no, we need stricter regulation. In its entirety. So I feel like we should get another expert opinion on this. Yes, we know we know one too. We do indeed Keith and Rekha, I think, is the correct pronunciation Keith. I apologize if I butchered that. Thank you for joining us from Potomac partners. He heads up their banking regulation view there and he of course is former acting comptroller of the currency. So he has a real lens into this kind of regulatory landscape Keith. Don't know how much attention you pay to today's hearing, where the hearings we've had over the course of this week, but did we really get anything tangible other than lawmakers scolding regulators and bankers? Well, thank you for having me on again. You know, I think this is just part of the job, right? Like both for the regulators and for members of Congress, you've had the largest bank failure and cost in history basically bail out if someone call that of the uninsured depositors that Silicon Valley banks. So to the extent that members of Congress are reflecting the anger of their constituents, their right to do that, and it's the regulator's job having sat in one of these seats to answer questions about why things were maybe missed or the like and then what the process of the cleanup was to try to minimize the losses. You know, there's a lot of blame to go around for everyone, including the people sitting on the chairs asking the questions. I mean, again, one of the things I've advocated for is more robust bank mergers and acquisitions. And Elizabeth Warren has been really against that. And to the extent she's deterred that, a bank like first republic would have been a great sale a year or two ago and probably no one wanted to deal with the angst of that, including the regulators, right? And so $13 billion later, you know, she's yelling at the acting controller for selling it to Morgan. Keith, I'm basically. I'm glad you're bringing this up because I wanted to talk to you about this and I cut that sound of senator Warren interacting with the OCC. Take a listen to the controller suit. Your job by law is to determine risk to the system from making big banks even bigger. So she's basically talking to him about how she's unhappy with the fact that they allow JPMorgan already the country's

We're talking about herd immunity to some degree like as it comes, Uh, another population levels more people get infected. And slowly we do, inherit and produced some amount of herd immunity. We have not done that yet with Covid, but, um You know, it's also not as lethal as the small park. That's the other difference. Yeah, obviously. Yeah, we're talking to Dr from me, Pharaoh and invasive cardiologist and director of the Global Health Alliance Foundation. So let's just go back here a little bit and talk about what you just said, Because, um, I understand that you know that we We really haven't seen her immunity in a pandemic. We didn't see it in 1918. We didn't see it. 1958 and What will probably have here is that the the virus will mutate to a form that can kind of coexist with us. Kind of like influenza. But you know, obviously a little or different than influenza, but the same sort of Think we will have to get the annual vaccinations. Um, but but I mean, what happens if it doesn't? I mean, if if the virus if it doesn't become endemic, what if it continues? These? Very I mean, is that possible? Have we ever seen that before? We have never seen that before. Note nationally speaking at typically, you know is more more people get vaccinated and infected. Um, we divide we do have the ability to Produced offered immunity. It just takes a long time. It takes typically years for for us to outgrow all rather to grow herd immunity as we've seen before, For instance, with influenza. I hope that's not going to be the case. I hope what you said. That's a very, very You know, grim picture that if it continues to create these really bad variants, will we ever be able to come out of it? I believe we will. I believe we will absolutely be able to come out of this. I think we have all the tools necessary to be able to come out of this. We just need the cooperation for everybody. Um, and a perfect example of that would be, uh, first of all, fascinating because again the very key. Tool. We have to be able to come out of it. And second continue to maintain percussions.

Yes, ma'am. He was the ranch manager at Loretta Lynn's. Humphreys County Sheriff Chris Davis. Thank you so much and stay safe. Yes, ma'am. Thank you. The floods in Tennessee are a deadly example of climate change. Rebecca Herscher from NPR's climate team is here to talk about this. Hi, Rebecca. Hi there. So this is the second time Tennessee has seen deadly flash floods this year. Floods in Nashville kills at least four people back in March. Is this a trend? Yes, And you know it's a trend that's driven by a global warming. So as the earth gets hotter, we're seeing more heavy rain. And that's when a lot of rain falls in a very short period of time as the sheriff was just describing and I think, especially this time of year. A lot of people in the U. S. Might imagine heavy rain from a hurricane, but there doesn't have to be a big storm for their V cap, catastrophic water. Um, you know, thunderstorms can cause really serious flash flooding and we've seen it outside the US as well. So China, Germany, Belgium and India, they've all experienced deadly flash floods this year just from rainstorms. So our climate scientists able to measure exactly how much more rain is happening because of climate change. Yeah, And that's actually one of the wild things about this current moment. So global warming has progressed so far that scientists can actually see it happening in real time. So In the southeastern US, which includes Tennessee. The amount of water falling during the heaviest rain storms has increased by almost a third between 1958 and 2016. That's a lot more water right? And it's not just the Southeast, so heavy rain has increased by more than a third and the rest of the eastern US even in the West, where the big story this summer has been drought. When it does rain, The rain is more likely to fall all at once and cause flooding. So we've seen that this summer with flash floods in Arizona and in Colorado. Okay, wait. That's counterintuitive. States that are in the middle of a record breaking drought can also experience climate driven flooding. Why Yeah, it is counterintuitive, so it actually goes back to the same underlying forces that caused the deadly floods in Tennessee. So at a basic level, hotter air can hold more moisture. The Earth is almost two F hotter than it was in the late 18 hundreds. And hot. Eric also dries out soil, So when we're talking about places with drought that's certainly at play. It's also happening to a lesser extent in the eastern US. The problem with dry soil is that it's less absorbent. So when a lot of rain falls really, really quickly, like the sheriff was just describing The water can't soak in. It runs off the surface and all that runoff is way too much for drainage pipes and even for rivers right, It overwhelms the landscape..

"Only his jazz artists, which they were but as American artists. His work is the subject of a major exhibition at the Bremen Museum. Jazz memoir, Photography by Herb Smith. Sir. He joins us now, along with curator Tony Kostya, Dante. Welcome to city lights. Thank you very much. Thank you. The lowest glad to be here, Herb. You have photographed. I can't Louis Armstrong, Nina Simone Maya Vel State fist. Dizzy Gillespie. You get going 10, John Coltrane and Count Basie, among others. When did your interest in photographing jazz musicians began? A long time ago, 1958 when I was commissioned by Metro no magazine. To do a study a visual study of Lester Young, great tenor saxophonist of the Count Basie Orchestra at that time, and I was just so captivated. By what I was feeling as much as what I was saying. It was quite a jolt to my emotional system. I never anticipated that I would get so involved with the music, but I haven't had still And after all these many years I'm curious about hard. You developed relationships with these artists. Would you go to particular clubs? Their hangout spots? Introduce yourself. Were you invited to their parties? Well, I did become part of the jazz scene in New York at that time, and it just was almost accidental. All of those wonderful photographs I made of Louis Armstrong. Made while we were on tour and I was on his bus and we were just hanging out on day. I really mean hanging out. I mean that musicians are breathing part. I just love him now. Your photography career spans more than 50 years. Tony. Why does the exhibition focus on the years between 1957 and 1964 During that period? Her was a young man grew up in Philadelphia when he finished art school. He heads to New York too, you know. Make his mark on the world. And as he said the job for metronomic had been freelancing for a while was a year after he was in New York. And then that opened up the world Jazz for him and a permanent position on Metro No magazine, which again got him into the community. The focus of the exhibition for that period was It was a very rich time. A great deal of social change and heard was kind of right there on the pulse of it, and that is really kind of core of his work. Her is still a working photographer. I'm sure gets a little tougher now with his age and covet, but he is actively documenting his entire life. But that particular period was was a particularly strong period in herbs career, and it's kind of the focus of the exhibition. And then we deal with a later period when he came back to jazz and re acquainted with a lot of these same artists in the seventies and eighties and into the nineties and then we also have other aspects of the exhibition. That deal with his social work and social issues that he's documented throughout the arc of his career. The main focus is that early period, but the exhibition is rather expansive, and we have ah lot of different subjects that are covered. Her book Were you hoping to reveal about African American chess artists that mainstream predominantly white newspapers and magazines were not showcasing? During Daddy era they couldn't ignore Louis Armstrong or Duke Ellington. Dizzy Gillespie these Miles Davis. Certainly these were all crossover artists and were accepted by the white world. I mean, that's pretty obvious today and looking back as to how these men and women integrated themselves with it in the bigger community. One of my favorite is Nina Simone. And I mean I was called by the Coolpix records to do a photo session with Nina In anticipation of the they're publishing her new record, So I got to meet her and we became fast friends. We were pretty much the same age that have the same political viewpoints about things and Just stayed in touch with each other all those years. I know a lot of people think she was very difficult, but I loved her. And that was important for me. She was an amazing artist. She was a great artist. Just wonderful. Can you tell us about your parents? Refugee story? Well, they were immigrants coming to this country when they were very young. My father was six. And my mother, not much older on day settled in Philadelphia on created their own groups. And protected them themselves. In that way, Were they the ones who introduced you to jazz? No. They had nothing to do with the Jazz world. They? They were hardworking, First generation or I'm first generation American with my parents. They just had to make a living. They had to survive. And I was pretty much stifled by that kind of world. And I knew that sooner or later, I was going to break out and good in New York, which is where I always wanted to be, anyway. What does this exhibition reveal about the connection between Jews, Jazz and the African American community. Yeah, That's it should think question.

You know big big big decision. The truth is how you handle.

I'm gonna go with building a team so you know built building a team and understanding that if you want to be a visionary if you want to be that entrepreneur who who's founding multiple businesses or bringing in multiple seven figure in them then you need a by your side a team of level ten years and level ten executor's you know that means that they're taking the strategy that you developed and they're actually executing on it.

You're always focused on making mary for me. It is honestly it's about debt collections. For me it's understanding that we need healing to happen with respect to debt. And i definitely believe that there's a huge ripple effect in the in the work that i do as a matter of fact i even had a teacher reach out to me. She used my communication strategy. She's a social worker in a in a school district that is inner city kids and she works specifically with the at risk population. She quit from a eight percent passing rate to a ninety six percent passing rate with her group of students just by building her students up using conscious communications. It was incredible. So i know that the impact that i'm making number one is with healing our debt situation and because my research has shown that people who have a debt. They are less likely to apply for mortgage. They're less likely to apply for the same job because they know people are doing background checks and they're even less likely to enter into the same level of relationship because of the shame and unworthiness. They have about being in debt. And that is something that just needs to be healed and i am on a one woman mission to see that happen so i'm working with lots of other debt collectors to teach them my system so that they can also do what i'm doing with.
