"That they want to play and have the skill to play because if they don't intervene, one imagines that this problem is going to get worse or at least continue at its current level because you can't generate professional baseball players out of nowhere they have to come up through the system. So what sort of solutions rather than I guess AJ do you see as being particularly impactful if we want to arrest this trend? So I think it's really important, obviously, to invest in allowing people from all different races to have access to baseball have access to the equipment, have access to the fields. I think that's something that MLB has already taken some small measures towards, but I think there's a lot more that could be done to open that up more. That's one thing AJ talked about some of the issues that college, I think that's another place where it's it can be keenly felt the pressures against some people and they could put in some effort towards diminishing those pressures and making it easy for collegiate athletes to continue on. Another thing I think is that they should be sort of taking the initiative to study some of these issues on their own. They shouldn't need to have outside people looking at the record of black catchers in the majors and calling them out for it. That should be something that they take seriously without press attention. And the fact that they haven't, I think, is, unfortunate. I think every organization, every company has a responsibility to study how they do business and if you're seeing such a stark disparity where you have ten times fewer black catchers than you would expect, then that is indicative of problems. And then it's on you to go through and figure out what those problems are and how can we fix them. And they haven't done that for the most part. So I think and they have access to much better data than we ever will on the outside. So I think they have the power to study this issue and really try to figure out what the issues, what the root causes are, and then attack those root causes, and that's something that they should put more resources towards. Definitely. I agree with you. For me, the main, the main thing is it's given true fair opportunities, you know, after you give someone a fair opportunity and they don't take advantage of it, then that's on them. When that opportunity really doesn't present itself, it just makes it feel like it's nearly impossible to get done. And another part of it is making sure that you make a conscious effort to understand all. You know, I feel like I've heard that story many times with friends and other organizations. Luckily, I haven't had that problem with the rockies. I feel like they do a great job of making sure that they treat you like family, no matter what nationality you are, what your ethnic background is, any of that, I feel like they do a great job of being just good genuine people. From top to bottom in the organization. And when someone feels like, you know, they're part of an organization, but they don't truly feel like they're part of the organization because they are working on the outside in in many cases or they don't have anyone checking on them or they don't have anyone, you know, treating them fairly like they should be treated. You know, that's going to deter anyone from doing anything. So I think just making sure that you give an opportunity and you're being just a good person and giving a chance to give the players a chance to feel as if they belong. Yeah, going back a bit to the biases that we were talking about in scouting and player development. I think maybe some of it can be unconscious, which the results are the same, so it hardly matters. But some of it can just be kind of comparing to your mental rolodex of past players as scouts often do, and if you don't have a lot of examples of past black catchers to call on, then maybe you're less likely to evaluate a player as a catcher today. Others, I think there can be a more malicious prejudice that's going on there. And Howard Bryant tweeted the other day, you know, historically in sports often the nerve centers, he said, have been white the athletic centers black or as Andrea Williams, who's been on the show before she wrote the biography of effa Manley, she tweeted positions requiring intellect and not just raw athleticism were deemed above black capability. And it's interesting because if you look back at the early decades post integration in MLB, there were many more prominent and successful black catchers in those days your Roy campanella and elston Howard and John roseborough and Earl batty, et cetera, but I would guess that in those cases, Howard and campanella came up in the Negro leagues, so they had proved themselves at that level already and then roseborough was campanella's successor with the Dodgers when campanella got hurt. So that probably played a big part just those guys got the opportunity and they proved themselves and so once they had done it in the Negro leagues, then they got the opportunity to keep doing it in the AL and NL eventually once the color barrier was broken, but I think that just speaks to what AJ was saying about the importance of that representation and having those examples. And so it's sort of a sad state of affairs if the conditions immediately after the GameStop being segregated, we're more conducive to black players becoming catchers than they are today. I wonder AJ know it's challenging enough to be a minor leaguer and to have to try to work your way up without thinking of these historic patterns or trying to set an example for kids who could be watching you and most players say I'll play wherever helps me get to the big leagues, right?.

"This debate about whether he should be inducted in Chicago they understand the impact of Minnie minoso And it's also important to consider too that he was a man who you know was really living in these two different worlds right He's a Latino man who comes into this country and is trying to make a go of it He's also a black man you know when you look at him when people look at him so he's he's trying to navigate all of these things and still has to put together really great career which is what he was able to do in a piece I wrote for The New York Times about the Hall of Fame's efforts to induct players and other representatives from the Negro leagues era Talk to doctor Adrienne Burgos and he talked about Minnie's impact and particularly the things that he had to endure and how we failed to really consider that when we're looking at stat lines of players right We want to do this apples to apples comparison We want to look at the batting average of mini And then we want to look at the batting average of his white contemporaries But we can't really do that right Because they are not enduring what many had to Let me ask you to circle back to the larger context here We all know about Jackie Robinson for breaking the color barrier in 1947 You mentioned satchel page Josh Gibson But there are so many other players to enshrine What has taken so long for Major League Baseball to recognize the contribution of these players I think to be honest a lot of it was that they didn't consider the Negro leagues and the players managers and executives therein of on the same level as their white counterparts That's the reality of the situation That's why Major League Baseball has to make the announcement that they make at the end of 2020 which is that okay now yes we are considering the Negro leagues on the same level as major league You don't have to make that announcement if you already believe that okay Finally America as we know is going through a reckoning now On race and racism fewer than 10% of Major League Baseball players today are black and that number has fallen a lot since the 1970s Where do you think professional baseball needs to go now I have two sons that play baseball I think they need to do a better job of marketing and promoting the black players that are there now because that is what helps make it appealing Kids want to be staffed They want to be LeBron James because they see these players everywhere I'm buying my son baseball cleats because he's already started training for spring season Mike trouts are everywhere I would love to buy him some Tim Anderson cleats And I would love to buy him some of you best cleats I think of course you absolutely have to have more black people in the front offices I mean that is a given We're still talking about a culture overall that is not a safe space for black people And the best way to remedy that is not to just force more black people into the backward culture it is to put more black people on the business side of it so that they can help to shift the culture from within So it's not a one thing It has to be multiple things happening all at one time Andrea Williams is a contributor to The New York Times in her new.

"It's here and now I hit the home run I have the Grand Slam home run I hit for the cycle And I'm proud To have been a Negro league ball player That is the great buck O'Neill Player manager and scout speaking in 2006 That is the year the first players from baseball's Negro leagues were inducted into baseball's Hall of Fame But it wasn't until Sunday that the late O'Neill and two other black stars were enshrined So why the long wait Let's ask Andrea Williams She's the author of baseball's leading lady in a contributor to The New York Times Hi Andrea Hi how are you I'm great Let's talk about some of these players and what they meant to baseball Bud Fowler he played against white players as early as 1878 before baseball became segregated Tell us about him and his impact Sure I think the important thing to remember about bud Fowler is that his career predates even this gentleman's agreement that we've all heard of This is why we didn't see black players playing on major league teens why there were Negro league teams in the 2030s and 40s And why Jackie Robinson is credited as the first black player to play Major League Baseball Yeah in 1947 Yeah This is really just the modern era of organized baseball if you will But before that gentleman's agreement was in place there were black players that were playing on white teams and bud Fowler was one of them But Fowler was playing at a time you know you mentioned in the 1870s I mean we're talking about a couple decades before that black people were literally property in this country But Fowler is good enough that they still want him on these white teams And he is able to string together this career and do really really well So we hear from black players who are playing professional baseball now who look to Jackie and say that Jackie was was there inspiration and Jackie had played shortly in the Negro league So he was around you know the grates of that era But Fowler is one of a handful of players along with people like George stovey Moses Fleetwood walker They are the inspiration for those early Negro league players Now our next inductee I guess batting next buck O'Neal Player manager founder of the Negro leagues baseball museum The Hall of Fame created a special achievement award in his name Let's play a little bit of sound from a Twitter message from Ken burns he produced amongst documentaries a series on baseball When buck was still alive he should have been leading the class that got in and he didn't and shortly died shortly thereafter and now he's in he's one of the greatest people I've ever met in this planet Andrea Williams you knew buck O'Neill Give me a story Oh my gosh I have so many stories and really the thing that I remember most about him is that he was actually the greatest right I think we're so conditioned to hearing people say that about but he really was you know without any hyperbole he was just an incredible person to be around And you know I was in my mid 20s when I was working at the Negro leagues baseball museum and part of my job was driving him around to speaking engagements and he was a man who had seen the worst of the worst that this country has to offer And always had a smile was always great to talk to I mean would talk to me about anything I was like you know I asked him mister O'Neill how come how come you and your wife never had kids And he was like I don't know We couldn't have kids but we sure had a lot of fun trying Such a bright spirit And was so integral to the work that we were doing at the museum for the vast majority of us settle page and Josh Gibson these people are just characters in history books and people that we hear these great stories about but we have no idea what it was like puck played with them Yeah He knew them He had seen all of this And I could not have imagined a better person to tell the story of the Negro leagues to help get the word out about the Negro leagues to ensure that these stories lived on and on forever And yeah I mean you know to hear Ken burns you know talk about how devastating it was in 2006 I remember sitting there I remember I was sitting at my desk when we got the announcement I remember being so excited because there are 17 players managers and executives that did got in including F a family who was the first woman inducted in a cooperstown but we didn't have book And I understand I can rationalize how the Hall of Fame works how it considers candidates I understand these little boxes that you have to fit in you have to fit into one of these different categories Yeah yeah But he wasn't just a player wasn't just a manager it wasn't just a coach even though he was the first black coach in Major League Baseball history He was all of these things that culminated in this incredible run that he had as the chairman of the Negro leagues baseball museum But I mean I could do this all day but let me ask you briefly about one more player who was inducted many mino so a Cuban player the first Latino baseball star In 1947 he held the New York Cubans beat the Cleveland buckeyes in the Negro league World Series as a player what was his impact on the game Well his impact was huge He is really the first Afro Latino star that we see in Major League Baseball He's the first black player for the Chicago White Sox Even as we've kind of gone back and forth about whether and I say we globally I think people who really understood him in his career knew that he belonged in the hall But.

We're gonna miss her when she goes but she's on the bigger and better things. We've got to talk about how we met is about three years ago. Don't you think gosh yeah. I think you're right on. Time is so evading right now and it's hard to keep like at some ways feels like yesterday and some days it feels like so long ago you and land i well. Let's see three years ago. I was about two weeks away from leaving my position. Nobody knew that just yet. There was a little bit of a rumor because somebody hit me later on the net. Yvette and ask me are you still at. At and t. hey but Yeah we weren't the hidden. Figures event out at the frisco star. Is that what it's called is where the dallas cowboys actually practice. Yeah the star in frisco correct you tell us about that ev- it. Yeah absolutely so. I am a proud member and leader in different capacities of the black sports professionals and we are national organization however particularly win michelle and i met was here in dallas in our espn north texas chapter and we held a the second annual. And what is known as the hidden figures event and women's history month and quite frankly I'm not surprised by this. But this particular vet excuse me. Year-over-year is a headliner it draws tons of attendees and we always bring out the showstoppers. And obviously we tapped you. What i coined. The oprah of dallas issue did do that in front of everybody to. It's stuck like glue. The name stock. Yeah yeah to moderate a fantastic event so that was you know no surprises. There are biggest yet. And i think if you wanna dive and talking to that more i mean you. Springboard data into particularly on this podcast. Yeah a reach people all across the world just the sheer power hitters and women.

Yes please which is really exciting. She is the chief operating officer of the college football playoff shutout to nicole. Lyn just dropped her book agent you so excited for her. She's an amazing person in down danielle jones. Who's been on the show was well. You know just. I see her everywhere. Essence you know black enterprise. She's doing it on canada now. In exactly what. I would say to that event it was it was like the pre your already out coming out on your own senses but there was on the eve of all these big amazing things fat everyone then revealed to the world. Right you out to up business poland and drafted you know the As a black woman like the first first round the nfl her. That never happened before Andrea i mean she is doing revolutionary things that the cfp in a very short time and then of course studio as you mentioned left and right you look and see what their organization power hands is doing in the sports industry so i was grateful to be there the academy in getting everyone together in the same space and a black sports professionals in general i've leaned to the into that organization as it's been a a threshold in my career where our mission is to connect in power in advance us in the industry As we are always you know and as many industries looking to get more representation in front offices and really help our professionals climbing get there. Yeah hats off to you. And larry lundy and all the other leaders there at the black sports professionals network. What do you think we have a culture suit moment. Let's do absolutely all right. So you know i'm always scanning the feeds. I'm on social media seeing what people are talking about. And you know you just can't get away from what's going on with this corona virus. It's like it will not go away. How was that impacted the sports industry as a whole but then let's let's talk about the front office because you alluded to the fact that you're here in dallas you've been working remotely on this job. Then that is a very good question and quite frankly one we're dealing with every day and in all aspects of the sports industry and i would say if it wasn't clear on a parent you know we were hit quite tremendously like many other industries but we learned quickly that you know people come in intense ordering events out of desire fund entertainment riley a requirement to live your life so when you think about one sports going away from a live perspective because quite frankly we just weren't having games but two games are coming back however from a financial perspective. That's not the first thing people are turning to spend their money on. So i would say from a revenue standpoint. You know this industry is still looking to find ways to recover to pick clause scream back to stabilizing him. Perspective that ties hand-in-hand having live events which we are seeing more of it. It's really quite interesting. Right like the the nuances to the industries the leagues and the capacities that arenas in football stadiums can be filled up to very literally city by cities state by state. So the sheer chaos.

But Morgan Lawn sales and streaming numbers have gone up dangerous. The double album remains at the top of the Billboard 200, author and journalist Andrea Williams joins us from Nashville Welcome Hi. Are you all right? So apart from being the biggest selling artist in country music right now, who is Morgan Wallen? Yeah. Morgan Wallen is really the face of country music. Honestly, Yeah, He's had this record that has done phenomenal, crazy number, So he certainly the biggest act coming out of Nashville right now, But he's also the face of country music because he fully represents everything that is wrong with the genre with this industry, all the things that really have been wrong with it since the 1920 since those early Bristol sessions when We have that initial creation of the racial divide amongst Southern music, and even as he, in your words represents what's wrong with country music? His billboard numbers keep rising. I mean, he's at the top of the charts. What's going on here? Yeah, so we've seen we've seen definitely this quick response. But it's all been on the corporate side right in corporate Lee. I think in country music people are understanding that as we come out of 2020 as we come away from the black boxes in the hashtag that we need to get serious about making change, But That's going to take a longer time to impact the actual culture around this music, the fans, they don't really care about that, right? They just know that this is their favorite guy that he and their eyes is being unfairly punished for what they call a miss. Take something that just rode off of his tongue because he was drunk. Oh, he was only saying it to friends, so they're they're not understanding or not caring toe understand? Really? The deeper implications of this and this moment that country music has now to take this horrible action from him and and make it mean so much more can actually grow from this. The fans just Are upset that their favorite guy is being canceled and I'm using air quotes because he can't really be canceled. He's way too big. And so Yeah, we're seeing that now. Now, as you said, this is a larger issue in country music. Tell us how Morgan Wallens situation fits into The broader struggle within the country Music world. Yeah, so country Music has always been really, really white. And as we've seen other genres of music that maybe started out really, really black, how they've diversified overtime. Country music has just doubled down on its whiteness again if we go back To the commercialization of southern music. Initially, there is white hillbilly music. And there is black race records. Even the really they're doing the same kind of music. So as we as we proceed through time as we land in 2021, no one here has really done the work toe up ended at the same time they erected these barriers that continue. Refuse non white people from coming in, really in numbers that can be significant. And so Morgan while and really represents this kind of you know, this last I fare, you know, approach that people have two to race relations in this country in country music. I should say in this town in this industry, it is. This is how we do things. This is how it's always been. We get to make the rules and we get to enforce the rules. And you know, I'm not here to speak on whether Morgan wallet is racist or not, but it means a lot that even with the biggest selling album in the country, he still feels comfortable enough to say that we have to leave it there.

And shattered one of the few glass ceilings that exist in major league baseball for women. She stands on the shoulders of another woman named F A Manly who 85 years ago, triumphed as a baseball executive and became the first and only woman to envy inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame. A new book called Baseball's Leading Lady. F. A Manly and the Rise and Fall of the Negro Leagues. Author Andrea Williams tells the remarkable story of F A Manly, the owner and co manager of the Newark Eagles, a team she cultivated into a powerhouse. She also explores manly civil rights activism and the history of American baseball. Andrea Welcome to all of it. Hi. How are you? Good. So let's start with the fact that you are not only a baseball fan, you have worked professionally around the sport. The Negro Leagues Baseball Museum know when you first heard about the life and learned about the career of F A manly What jumped out at you? What leapt out at you about her career. Yeah, I think the first thing was just that she had done. It was really just what she was able to accomplish in the thirties and forties. I started working active you them in the summer of 2004. I had just graduated with the sport management degree and By myself, working in a front office on myself, ultimately becoming a general manager of a major league baseball team. I wanted to work at a small market club and, you know, I had my own Moneyball aspirations. But at the time there was no one you know you mentioned in the intro Kim and what? Just becoming the first last year And so, you know, I would always say that. You know, I wanted to be the first but I really thought that Kim would beat me. Um And I don't know. I mean, I do know why it took so long One, but yes, see, Seen F um and what she accomplished back then was was really eye opening because a We didn't really know about it. You know, I just got my job at the museum and Up. Kendrick, who is the president now was giving me a cooler and, you know, I saw her picture in the corner and started asking questions and researching and reading and doing all the things and, Yeah, it was. It was remarkable because she had been owners, um, female owner his team before that they're you know, have been owners and Major League baseball and in the Negro leagues, but she Didn't just only team husband. She really handle the day to day did all the player contracts and negotiations or the equipment and manage the books and did all of the things that a general manager does. And she gave it back there. Open the book with a scene for the 1946 Negro World, Syriza and F Family's team. The North Eagles play and beat the Kansas City Monarchs. Why was this such a pivotal moment in her career and in baseball history? Yeah, it was. It was pivotal because of me. I'm sure I don't think she had. Why? No, she didn't have any. You know, she wasn't a little girl thinking of owning and operating a professional baseball team one day, but everything that she did. She did it to the degree. So if she's in based on now she wants to live. No, it matter that she, you know, Matter of fact celibate like she. She's been struggling. All this part 200 steam, You know, having having a professional team hard anyway, But doing it in black baseball was that much harder. You know, Budgets were tight, You know, they didn't. They didn't have their own stadium, very few black owners on their own stadium, so they were giving up. Hefty portion of gate receipts every single game to the white teams that they rented stadium space from so everything was always such a struggle. And so it was finally like, yes, this is this is what it was all for. It also missed it. Now, when you're the top team, right gate receipts go up because now people want to come see the best of the best to play in that team. Hurt. Here We really go goes on it. Larry Doby, who became the first black player in the American League following Jackie, who was first in the nationally he was on that team, one of efforts players Oh, yeah, It is a big deal. You know, Now that we see that, um Major League Baseball is element you know, has elevated the status of the peace Negro League players. You know that All of those guys were doing it on a professional level, and they were champions. My guess is Andrea Williams. They've her book is baseball's leading lady F A manly and the rise and fall of the Negro leaves. So in a little back background on efforts was born in Philadelphia, 18 97, and if you Google her her heritage has been debated for some time. Of and you write in your book that, according to US census records, her mother had at least some black heritage. And she and her mom and her half siblings lived his black Americans. She finds out later that her father Is white as the result of a relationship or affair, I guess how did she live in the world? And what impact did this have on the way she became involved in baseball and worked and lived in baseball. Yeah, As for definitely, um, you know, she took advantage of her fair complexion when she could when she needed to know she didn't interview later in life and talked about how you know if she was traveling alone, she would say in a white hotel or either the white only restaurant. Um, but I think that really that privilege is what enabled her to come back to Negro League baseball and say to it is boardroom in the In the conference is for the Negro National League. When she's surrounded by all of these black men and saying, OK, this is what we need to do..

But in was completely surprising just like how huge the disparity was The mayor, DiBlasio says. They're going. They're going to be dealing with this on a number of levels. They're going to be adding languages to the online sign up system, which apparently was only in English beforehand. Which is a huge misstep. They are going to be adding more language specialists to city sights. After you know, the news website, the city went up to Washington Heights and found that there was no Spanish language speakers there to help people. Get receive vaccines. They are going to be prioritizing neighborhood residents in 33 focus neighborhoods where existing outreach efforts will be expanded. On dear going to be doing community outreach in neighborhoods that really could use a boost in vaccination, But this is not going far enough for a lot of people. You know. Brian Layer head Mark Levin City Council member on his site on his show earlier today, and Mark Levin is basically like you have to go door to door. Vaccinate people like you can't expect people to show up when they don't know about the options or be can't speak the language that you're offering and we have to go door to door. It has to be treated like the census, and that's something that other states are doing. And you have to prioritize different groups of people like right now there is some uproar over the fact that Governor Cuomo is allowing some limited indoor dining in New York City, starting on Valentine's Day. What restaurant workers aren't included in the current group of people who are eligible to receive the vaccine. So you know people like Mark Levin and others were like we have to prioritize food delivery workers and nail salon workers and restaurant workers and incarcerated people who are largely people of color who are currently not receiving the vaccine. And in terms of bird news, there's big bird news, not big bird, Sesame Street. But who is the central park snowy owl? That everyone is obsessed with? This is like this triggered for me the most Painful moment of bird foam. Oh, I think in my entire burning career last Wednesday, there were reports of a snowy owl in Central Park, which is a huge deal because Number one. The last account of a snowy owl in Central Park was in 18 90. There have been no other sighting since then, On day two. It's just not their habitat, You know, like it's not that snowy owls don't come to this area They do. There's one that's been hanging out at Jones Beach all winter. They tend to like Beaches and open places, Fields meadows, and that's because they're from the Arctic. They are used to hunting without trees in their line of vision. They like open spots. So the snowy owl was in central Park. It got tweeted by Manhattan Bird Alert, which has tens of thousands of followers and boom We have, like, you know, Peak snowy al in Central Park with burgers going to check it out. Um, she because it was determined that she was a female, snowy owl. They tend to have more dark markings than the mail. She got a little harassed not so much by people but by crows and the hawk. You know, these air birds tend to band together if they see a predator in the area that makes them nervous, and so You know, she got she got harassed by them And then by the end of the day, she was gone and she hasn't been seen in Central Park since then. I feel like that story is to be continued. Kate Hinds, w N Y. C is planning editor. Thanks, Kate. Thank you. Coming up.

"Radio is a network of Radio art. I don't know what you'd call i. Hesitate to say radio art stations. Because they're not generally all people who have transmitters but raja is is a network of people around the world who agree to produce a certain amount of content that is for broadcast. And they do this. I can't remember. I think it's on a monthly schedule. And so if you go to rodriguez website you can see It's it looks like a sort of podcasting website. You'll see an episode and it'll say okay. This episode is called blah blah blah. And it's by and it'll be the name of some group and that's a member of radio and they basically go in this round robin format. Where every they agree in advance. It's like okay. January is gonna be your month and february is going to be your month and they produce amazing stuff. Some of it's tied into art schools and and Classes and things this sometimes you hear a selection of short works that are someone's final projects from like a radio art class that they are covering a college and a lot of this stuff. His is in europe. I think possibly that Wgn in way far might be the only us members of radio. But i'm not entirely sure. Look into it i. That's a good one for me to figure out That's great well you'll have to Will have links to radja in the show notes. Today's episode of survivor And zach poff you. Also i mean so you teach media art at cooper union art school or sound art. Yes and i'm wondering if here and the conclusion of our conversation about this stuff this this unique art form in media like if you could make a pitch for it For understanding it. Because i think in general i mean i know like for instance if you hear it all on your community radio station chances. Are you hear it at midnight. You absolutely two. Am and so. Why should marsh we listen at all. Great question yeah. I think the the overall concern for me is can listening. Lead to outcomes in your life that are sort of destabilizing in a good way so I think the culture tends to be visual. I mean one example. I'd give is whenever you are looking at things to listen to on a computer you are being led by. Is you know. Time based work can't be browsed but visual were can so this sort of shopping style interface that we have when you're scrolling through episodes of a podcast or something on your phone on a website. You're looking at little thumbnail pictures and you're looking at all these different visual and textual representations and that's fine. I mean it's a great way of organizing information but you can light up an entirely different part of your brain by being led by your ears and there's a lot that can be discovered For instance on something as simple as sound walk I was working with someone at a workshop. Recently named andrea williams who does sound walks based on partially based on the work of pauline oliveros. And one thing that she had a stew is just sit Get up and go outside in pairs and one person. Wears a blindfold and the other person guides that person. So you essentially have a sighted person and a non sighted person and you just go on a very short walk. That doesn't have to be visually interesting at all. And then you come back and you switch and then the discussions that that emerged from this incredible your sense of distance your sense of familiarity all these things are completely transformed when you spend a little more time paying attention to your ears and one of the things that oliveros was very interested in is how the year is essentially a more inclusive way of thinking. Because you are involved in the sounds. You're not looking at them from the outside so a visual visual approach is one that has a clear me and a clear you but a sound approach is one that in some cases blurs that distinction completely. And there's just an us and you're not quite sure you know who's making the sound and who's supposed to be the audience and who's supposed to be the performer. Whatever those distinctions are essentially inherited from visual culture in an author and audit an auditory culture. That does not necessarily hold the thing that that makes me think of right off. The bat is the Sort of nervous or anxiety. Based feeling i have when i'm flipping through one of my social media feeds and that's an entirely visual medium. And if if i could it it certainly seems more like a mindful way to interact with the world to spin a radio. Dial even if there's not that much art out there. I guess there's there's gotta be another os you were saying that Even when we look for things to listen to we're using the visual based medium and it also made me realize that there's this Were on the cusp of a change. In that way on reiter survivor a few months back we. We started talking about these smart speakers. And how we're we're about to enter into a world where a lot more people are accessing audio content in an audio only format in a user interface that is spoken and auditory. Only and at the moment. It's it's extremely limited to what alexa knows what you want so i. I don't know what would happen if you said. Hey alexa play me. Some sound art. Yeah i'm i'm sure what would happen is the Whoever paid the most for the keywords sound and art within have to pay them a little bit the smarts. The smart speaker thing is just a excuse for worldwide commercial surveillance. So i think if we were going to get anywhere positive with smart speakers it would be because somebody made their own platform right. That was not central. And you know. I mean i. I hope it doesn't last. I don't know. I feel like it's going to be like three d. in vr. I've opener worms. It's it's the next big thing for like twenty years at never quite is the big thing. I think that someone such as yourself sack poff given the huge amount of resources and a few other clever people working with you can Can create the first good smart speaker instead of allowing These enormous weirdly influential mega corporations. That are that that control all sorts of media and tech to build this technology for us Because it's it's fun to talk to your computer i agree. I'll do it.
