"Chris Karachi. And I'm susannah Palmer in the Bloomberg newsroom.

Warren Buffett, who has long reiterated his love for insurance companies, took a painful hit on Berkshire Hathaway's underwriting businesses amid an increase in auto claims and the aftermath of hurricane Ian. Berkshire reported a $962 million loss on insurance underwriting in the third quarter. The worst quarterly loss in a year. Berkshire also reported a net earnings loss for the quarter of almost $2.69 billion driven by a $10.4 billion hit tied to its investment portfolio. As economic uncertainty hurt the markets. Max Reyes covers Berkshire Hathaway for Bloomberg news. It was a decent quarter, one that obviously is still feeling the effects of the market downturn. They reported a loss, but a lot of that is sort of accounting just tied to their equity investments. And a lot of analysts tend to discount that. So overall, I think sort of a mixed bag with insurance being one of the weaker parts of what we saw. The company repurchased $1.05 billion worth of shares in the period and is sitting on a cash pile of $109 billion.

"And I'm susannah Palmer in the Bloomberg newsroom, investors are facing another week of uncertainty as they try to figure out where to place bets with the S&P 500 down 25% with 11 weeks left to go in the trading year. And the ever present prospect of higher interest rates by way of the Federal Reserve. Some analysts still say stocks are the best place to put your money. Margie Patel is senior portfolio manager at all spring global investments. I think that basically equity still look very attractive because maybe one day the feds will say, well, that's we've done enough here. Let's stand back, compromise with inflation in the interest of growing the economy. And also the very strong dollar, that says to me more than anything, that tells you the strongest economy in the world is manifested in the strength of the dollar. So I think the U.S. is still a good place to be. Patel was interviewed on Bloomberg surveillance. Finance ministers and central bankers from the world's biggest economies were a little late with the chairs summary issued today by Indonesia, which leads the body this year. Normally, such a document is released within hours of the session but over the past week the finance chiefs clashed over a variety of issues, including Russia's invasion of Ukraine. So the statement was three days late. The statement said many members strongly condemned Russia's war against Ukraine and expressed the view that Russia's illegal unjustified and unprovoked war of aggression against Ukraine is in pairing the global economic recovery.

"My legal changes. Done. In four days, within two weeks, the name was changed, all the important stuff was done. And two weeks later, it was like filming for the video and by the end of the year, all this stuff is done. So I still have a lot of things to change. Because the older you get, the more places you have to change your name. Look, it's messy and confusing. I mean, you and I were in touch. On LinkedIn. And that was what honestly Susanna, I hadn't thought a lot about until you ran into the issue you ran into. So tell us about that. What is she did you have it LinkedIn? So with LinkedIn, I had two LinkedIn profiles. This was part of my walking out fence. I want to start getting myself out there, susannah, but I still have the legal aspect, and this was something that I have to deal with last year. Until November, so I made a decision once named Jim was done. I made the decision to pull the old profile into the new. Not the new into the old. A lot of people I know, they just changed their name on their profile and off they go. I didn't want to do that. It felt more right for me to keep everything that I had. You didn't want to just kill that one and make a new one entirely. Well, the disadvantage to that is then I lose the connections that I already had. Of course, 15 years worth of business connections you've made. So then when I hit the point, it's like, okay, I'm ready. I'm going to change, I'm going to do this. I read all the instructions. I think I've got it down. And I go to do the merge, I push it, it won't do it. The two profiles have to have the same name. For one, didn't know that. At this point, Susanna reached out to me and asked if I could help her. And of course I did, in the process I reflected on just how much we can lose when we come out. Living your truth always seems to come with costs or consequences. All the seemingly small things that just add up. For susannah merging her profiles meant losing recommendations and the votes on skills that are connections had given her, and I think there's a physical representation of this as well. All of the social pieces of our lives that fall away. I asked Susanna how her transition had impacted her relationships with people and whether some of those had gone away as well. And that's what I found. My whole history, a lot of it being that introvert aspect, I never really made close connections. I'm still it's like there's a handful of people that I'm connected to from the military and I think a lot of them haven't quite figured it out yet or they probably would have been gone. I look at all these people that I've that I've lost, sometimes there's connections there that the reconnecting with the people that I have reconnected with. There's actually more to this connection now than there was in the past. Yeah. For whatever reason. And I'm not going to say it's because of the visual change. I think it's really because I'm able to be my authentic self. Yeah. Well, so what has this done for your job for your career? That's on its own slow path at the moment because it's like now I'm reaching out to people trying to find opportunities and a lot of my time over the last just the last 6 months has been split between trying to find opportunities for consulting and this memoir has been in the middle of everything because there's a lot of things that are just in different stages of flux right now. The three posts that I've done over the last three weeks, that's probably more posts than I ever did in the previous 15 years of having a LinkedIn profile. That's some of the changes that I'm going through is just being able to being able to make the comments that I did on the office hours. Yeah. I loved that. It's like, in the past, I couldn't do that. Something's always holding me back. Yeah. And now I'm not and now it's the hardest part right now is just, I think in some ways trying to get myself out there as me, let the wings spread so I can fly. And then see what happens because I really like the consulting aspect. And I like being able to see different things. Talk with different people and find ways to give them new ideas that may not happen now, but over time, it may lead to something else. So it's that scattering of seeds. So I feel like right now I'm in the midst of scattering seeds and trying to see what's going to actually pop up. Susanna, it is such a pleasure to talk to you. Thank you for taking the time to share this part of your journey with us. And thank you for being part of the hello Monday community generally. It is a privilege to watch the journey. It's been a crazy journey and that's kind of what I tell people. I still don't quite believe I'm doing it. Now I can walk out as me and fly. That was susannah Don. She's working on a memoir, and I, for one, can't wait to read it. I thought Susanna's story was important to tell because coming out is never easy.

"Job, it kind of ended the connections. So there's very few and growing up. I always got the impression from people that I was more of a bother, so it just helped me to stay further away and not take those chances. Those chances didn't happen until during the last couple of years, when I found the people that I could, I figured I could trust, which was again more of the beauty advisers who've become the women closest to me and a lot of them are Christian too, so it's like I've got this support group that I never expected going through all of this, the mask helped because I sent you the photo last month of those three dates. The day that first day exactly a year later and then this past year and I can see how much I've changed. In those. But the mask during the first year was helpful. To hide this, you know, Susanna, I love that you say that my wife and I have a friend who transitioned genders recently. And they said, it was so powerful to have the pandemic because it was an extended period of time during which they weren't witnessed by anyone else. And they didn't have the context and the social connections that they had to reinvent. And so it created both the space and time for them to meditate on the decision and get really clear on it. And I'll say the room to actually act on it, that they might not have had otherwise. I'm curious if that resonates for you. It was a quiet time. I didn't have the connections. I was able to kind of keep myself busy. Susannah first tiptoed into her new presentation during these trips that she took to the local mall. She dressed a bit more androgynously, experiment with a bit of makeup. Going into it, those first few months before it all started, I was nervous. I'd go to the mall. I was starting to make connections, but still not there. And it was a time when even walking in the mall, I could put on some foundation, I could go something really light, look androgynous. And there's still that fear in the back of the head. You're looking around to see who's who's going to stare at you. Who's staring at you worse? Where's the trouble going to come from? Where was your wife during the spring? You said she was working overseas. Yeah. Does she know about this shift? Is she supportive of it from afar? Yeah. Yeah. She's seen the photos. In fact, we had a video chat yesterday. And from the beginning, she's always known kind of what my core is as this transition unfolded and as I started getting photos that I was more comfortable with sending her. Yeah. It would send them to her. For my birthday last year, she, she's like, happy birthday, susannah. And she talks about how she sees me being a happier and better person as I progress through this. That's a pretty powerful thing. I think that's where all these box stuff comes from. Because I couldn't be that way before. Now when I have conversations with people, the first person to know was like two years ago, the second one was last year, and then last year I came out to 8 to ten people from my past of which it was all pretty positive, these were people that I wasn't really connected with. We'd crossed paths once or twice, but there was something about them that I wanted that connection, but who people were viewing going to view me as in the past. I couldn't have the connection that feels right with me. Hello Monday we'll be right back when we return susannah will tell us about how her work life has changed.

And when you really start to think about it, you realize it also involves a lot of administrative work. Our gender is an identifier in so many ways. And when Susanna finally decided to change hers, it took a lot of effort. So it took me until last August to finally get off the fence. So really, August 10 hours, it's like only 6 months. Ish. Yeah. I'm starting this. In November, I did a prayer on a Sunday. It's like, I'd like a miracle a day. The next day Sephora sent me the email that said, we want your story. And we're going to do it next month. The next day I contacted my wife is like, maybe it's time to do the name change. Next day, I'm doing legal changes. It's like everything is legally changed. Is that complicated to do for somebody who's never done this before? Is that okay, when I did that legal change, every place is different. And I know this. I've seen some people talk about even in the same place. It can be difficult. Somebody I talk to around me in this area, it took them months to get the legal name change. I was hearing the probate officer telling people it was going to be, she was seeing 6 weeks most of the time, she'd seen a couple of them at two weeks. So I was like, okay, hopefully by Christmas, my name will be changed, and I can really move forward. Then, so that was on Wednesday, and Saturday, I got two envelopes in the mail. I had the certified documentation of.

"Susannah Don. In a January as we announced our theme for the year, reinvention, she got in touch. She's in the midst of a massive personal reinvention. Susannah is coming out as trans. Now susannah spent more than a decade in the military. She was a personnel officer, a platoon leader, and a lieutenant. And then she went on to do office work, but Susanna was doing this as a different person under a different name. Susanna always felt out of alignment as she described it. Until now, as she says, I'm not what I used to be. I am who I've always been. Today's Susanna's launching a new career as a freelance writer. And that's what's coming out, she's still at the very beginning of the process. Our conversation is raw. This is all still so new for Susanna. But it's also this great celebration. You can hear it in her voice. Here's susannah. In many ways, I already, I already knew who I was. I mean, I knew since the age of three, I have distinct memories of age three laying in bed and praying to wake up in the proper body. Wow. But it was a slow process. And all my life, I had to be what family said I was. So they only cared about what the show was. My dad only cared about what is success. It's money. It's business. It's these tangible things. And I went through one marriage, and then when I, my second marriage is actually when things started opening up for me because she's like, you are who you are and she's not had any problems with me kind of, as I kind of explore in China, and she's like, oh, just wear whatever you want outside. Nobody will care. And I'm like, are you kidding me? So what causes someone to be brave enough to come out? For susannah, the beauty store Sephora played a huge role. It's like the first time I walked into a Sephora with one of my daughters, I was just gonna get some foundation or something and play with it. I had no clue what was really going to happen. And then the next thing I know, I'm talking with a beauty adviser, she treats me exactly as I've always wanted to be treated, and by the time I walk out the door, I've got foundation on, I've got eyeshadow, I've got blush all in the very light neutral, so I'm still kind of androgynous look. I hadn't cut my hair and like four years had been three years at that point. I hadn't got my hair. I didn't get my first hairstyle for the first time until last July. Wow. So this is the time. I can just say in our listeners can't see it, so I'm just going to say it looks beautiful. And yet not over the top, it looks like very natural, long. We're catching you at this moment where you've had all of these amazing moments. Take us back to before Sephora to the earliest moments when you were beginning to live a little bit outside that box. What were the very first moments where you started to step out a little? Okay, I see things happening for they happen when they're supposed to happen. In 2017, my wife knew my background. I told the middle daughter, we were overseas in that kind of told her what was up. We'd gone to somebody's wedding overseas and everybody's sitting down and it just kind of happened. And once it happened, once it happened, then it's like she's on board and she's already for me just let's get you pills. Let's get you whatever. Really? That's the way that your children responded. That's the way that your daughter responded. That's the way that one did. She's ready to push me off the door. And it's like, excuse me, I'm very different because my whole journey has been a walk of faith as well. That's been important to me. So after that moment, I felt like the door was opening to do this transition, so I actually went going through the Bible to find the reasons that I shouldn't be doing this. It's like, okay, this is what everybody says, you can't do this. And I never found it. I would have found what was spoken to me through everything that I'm looking at was on red where I'm supposed to be. And then over the next few years, it looked like crap. But I'm letting my hair grow. I'm getting flack from my dad, but it's like, who cares? Yes. So are you still a person of faith? Yeah. You've been through this massive transition. Every step that I take, in fact, in many ways my faith is stronger. I had a conversation with my dad, which was one of, in some ways, it was one of the worst days because I said the words to him. And the venom from him was just, it was very painful. Yeah. But one of the last things he said to me was, so I guess God made a mistake. And I just looked at him and said, God doesn't make mistakes. And that was kind of the last thing I said to him. Tell me about the very first time you introduced yourself to someone as Susanna. Okay, that one. So there was that first visit Christmas, the day after Christmas of 19. And then on New Year's Day, I went back to Sephora and I saw a different beauty adviser 'cause I was walking in with blinders on. It's like, I'm focusing on a to try and find a face that I know. Or I got blinders just looking at stuff because I'm a total introvert. But that day, I go in with the same daughter, we go in there, she's talking with somebody about skin care, the gal mentioned that she had oily skin, which is what I've always had, and so I ask a question and then we start talking and she's focused on me and at one point she asked my name and I stumbled and gave her the old name and she's kind of looked at me. And when I saw it in her eyes, she didn't say anything. What I saw in her eyes was, is that your final answer? And then I said it, and she's like, that sounds better. You feel that moment. It was nervous. At that point, a lot of what I was doing. A lot of these steps were nerve wracking. And a few days later, I saw the first person and that was when she had asked me my name, and then it became much easier for me to just say it. Yeah. And when I said it, she's like, that's what I wanted to hear. Yeah. So I was in a place where I was accepted, and then with the shutdown, there were advantages to the masks for me because it was like 6 months later when I another door was opened and all of a sudden I'm on hormones. And moving forward with that was surprised me. And how did you make the decision to begin the hormones? Did you have support from your family? Nobody. I've been alone at home for over two years, because of the pandemic. So it's just been me and not really a lot. Like I said, introverts, so I don't have a lot of people that I can talk to. I don't have this, I've never really had this community of people that I could go to with problems or anything. It just didn't exist for me. Every time I left a.

"Minora title Global news 24 hours a day on air and on Bloomberg quicktake powered by more than 2700 journalists and analysts in more than 120 countries I'm susannah Palmer This is Bloomberg This is masters in business with Barry Reynolds on Bloomberg radio My special guest this week is Steve fratkin He is the president of Northern Trust wealth management running about $355 billion in assets They serve about one in 5 of the wealthiest families in America Previously Steve ran the corporate and institutional services he was head of international business for Northern Trust as well as the firms chief financial officer Steve fratkin welcome to Bloomberg Thank you very great to be here So you spent your entire career at Northern Trust having joined in 1985 how do you make the leap from really CFO to president which to me I think of president I think of someone who's running like a CEO running a division what were the challenges of that transition Well that's a great question And careers are mysterious experiences The bigger mystery really vary was the move to CFO So I joined Northern Trust as a youngster didn't know what I wanted to do Worked my way through a variety of entry level jobs Ultimately culminating at that point in running our growing international business and loving it traveling the world clients in Asia Europe the Middle East Africa South America really fun and interesting stuff And was asked at that point to service CFO which was the unnatural job was not a controller was not a treasurer and so serving as CFO of a large public company was shall we say traumatic when they asked But did that for 6 years including through the global financial crisis and it was at that point I went back to doing what I normally do which is running businesses I ran our corporate institutional services business and then after that wealth management Really interesting I want to stay with the success of Northern Trust You're one of the biggest ultra high net worth investment managers but relative to your size you guys kind of fly under the radar Why is that Well you know it's an interesting question Barry the so in terms of size we're in the top 20 banks in the country as measured by our balance sheet But really the better marker of our size is the assets that we manage and the assets that we administer for clients and we're a very quiet company We don't do lots of big acquisitions We do the same thing today that we've been doing since 1889 serving the same clientele And so we're a very focused institution A little over half our profits come from the provision of services to wealthy families in America and around the world In the other half come from essentially providing the same services but to large global institutional investors and wealth funds pension funds and the like And so we're a quiet company that has been extraordinarily successful and consistently so for many many years So we're proud of what we've got but we fly under the radar screen screen intentionally to just keep a low profile and stay focused on our clients And that would make sense given the nature of your clients who are less Instagram stars and more quiet wealth is that a fair way to describe it Yeah today we serve a little over 30% of the Forbes 400 wealthiest Americans and obviously many other affluent families And interestingly Barry sometimes people think of Northern Trust in its wealth management business as focusing on or serving multi generational well healed families and that's true We certainly serve many of those But there are many entrepreneurs in Silicon Valley in New York in Miami in Dallas in all over the country and all over the world And if there's one thing I've learned in being here it's that wealth has created in a lot of mysterious ways Let's stay with that because I was just involved in a conversation recently about the amount of wealth that has been created over the past couple of decades wherever you look especially in the United States it seems that people are coming up with new ideas new technologies new just even business processes that if you go back to the 90s I don't think people could have imagined the sort of things that are generating the massive amounts of wealth that we've seen And I'm not even talking about NFTs or things like that I mean businesses with clients that are just doing tens of millions of dollars of revenue a year Well I think the fascinating thing that I think we see is that wealth can be created in a lot of different ways And I think you're right As the world has sped up the wealth creation has sped up too Two caricature it It used to be you would start a business in your garage and Louisiana and over time you would build a vacuum cleaner or whatever it happened to be and you would start selling it from a store and it would have a second store and the next thing you know you have a big business that you never envisioned having Today that phenomenon still absolutely happens But it also happens with the power of the Internet that the pace at which companies in some industries can grow and accelerate has really multiplied Quite interesting Coming up we continue our conversation with Steven frattin president of Northern Trust wealth management discussing the challenges of operating joining the pandemic You're listening to masters in business with very rid holds on Bloomberg radio.

Taliban Say They Took Panjshir, Last Holdout Afghan Province
"The taliban say they've taken control of a province north of kabul the last holdout of anti-taliban forces in afghanistan. It's the pan valley a resistance group. There denies those claims and that is just some of the news out of afghanistan today at the same time at least four planes were chartered to evacuate hundreds of people from afghanistan but had been unable to take off for days joining us now. Susannah george. She is the afghanistan and pakistan bureau chief for the washington post. She is in kabul susannah. Thanks for being with us this morning. Let's start with that news. Out of the panjshir province This is a storied province long-held stronghold of resistance to the taliban. Just explain what it means that this province has now fallen to to the telephone. Yeah well this is a very significant development and instruct says. You say it's because this was one of the few places. The dotan never managed to control back in the nineteen nineties when the group had control most of the country and so clearing this valley now it really clearly displays how much more of a formative fighting force the taliban is. Today than it was twenty years ago. They have much more training. They've been fighting against one of the most Powerful militaries in the world for the last two decades and they're also much better equipped force and this is largely thanks to desertions and surrender deals with afghan government forces in the lead up to the fall of kabul so now the taliban controls the entirety of the country we are waiting for them to announce the official formation of their government and meanwhile there are still so many afghans who were trying to get out you have been reporting that kabul airport is now open again for domestic travel What does that mean susannah. What does that look like. It's still a bit of a mess couple airport. I'm the only reason that some domestic flights have resumed is because of this temporary radio. Communication has been set up by country engineers between pilots and air traffic controllers. But there's no other navigation system set up at the airport. They all damaged during the chaos of the evacuation which means that all pilots when they're taking off and landing. They need to do it by sight. And this means that any commercial airline who wants to come in and out of kabul airport is just not going to be able to for insurance reasons and because of international aviation guidelines

Maybe you know like he was so unbelievably gifted so smart. But you know he wasn't The most guy in the world you know social cues were defined by him not by society. So what is that. You know how to read social cues. I don't know but i know that. He related to her being kook. He's a kook was the rest of that chorus an invention as well.

But we were listening to. These records are on endless. Loop the wendy lisa brinson and i think that sonically something was happening. That was being shifted to not because of the because of those records but because we were all listening to them together and again. I know that prince relied on their ears for a lot of stuff. things that he wanted to have a little bit more potency something You know when you're when when one is writing You can write straight cords or you can write cords that have that are diminished and augmented and they're filled and the cluster chords and their layered and their emotional or you can have really pure cords which should be you know. Three note chords. Wendy lisa brought the real. Emotional clustered augmented really deep sounding chord structures so to his musical life. You'd have to listen to the opening when she starts when she talks and she says you know my father was nigeria and my mother was african or something or other line. She said something we all sang. And then it goes then. Trevor brings in this. The keyboard sounded goes june. And that just this deep like thing and then down to tact at this incredible nobody heard this production sound and it was you know would go. It would clip here and then open up in another way and it was unbelievable. We would just play the shit out of that record. I mean go back and listen to that record But you know we were. We had place in south of france during filming of Cherry moon and that was a was constantly playing in the background. All of us and so was the kate. Bush record the hands of love. Listen to that record after he died. This song that i free fell in love with and played the most was mountains. Felt a rediscovery of that song inch version. You have to hear the extended version of mountains. It's unbelievable my name. lisa. Yeah i mean again. Another example of where they are really important to shaping him. I mean you know. Sort of but scottie pippen to his michael jordan. You've got to have somebody else. There who's You absolutely have to yeah. Can't be just you out there. You have to have a great assist. So you're in love at this point right in the story you talked about you know you dating prince. He's not all there he's you know he's not always going to be monogamous. You know but there is enough time that there and he's present and he's with you that you are drawn in and deeply in love with him. So what is it like. When he's all there. What does he like. You know what is like you know. You're you're on a day to your you know at home and like you know not not your average bear. Let's put it that way. You know it's not you know as i as i've grown And had me no a marriage and had a relationship where a it's all right to be vulnerable there was not really okay to be vulnerable Kind of always on your toes. There was not a full. I was very i was super young anyway. I was too young but I wouldn't i. Wouldn't i wouldn't trade it for anything in the world. I mean i felt blessed to have a working relationship with him and one that was so beautifully intimate at the same time there many nights where it was. Just you know popcorn and television you know or what shows living color We'd watch movies to we'd have you know vhs. Films old movies by gordy love philadelphia story. That was one of the few the films that we watched a lot before doing chairman Interesting yeah And the dp for cherry moon was the same dp for Raging bull and that was me. I was mistake. If you're gonna do this film you have a good dp. It's gotta look good and you want black and white. let's go you gotta you're gonna watch raging bull again. You gotta watch raging bull got to watch it and it was like that's what we gotta do. So if you go back and watch raging bull and you look at the dp work on that you look at the black and white filming. You'll like it is it's cherry moon. It absolutely is interest. Yeah yeah okay and what. What else about your in love. What is that look lake. He knows probably. This is probably a story for you know the book you know what i miss that i'm saying because there there's so much to being in a relationship with him. It's not easy. That wasn't an. It's not easy like we're just together. Were a couple He he liked it. Keep me hidden. Didn't you know There was no sharing me. And that i was an identical twin. So that could be complicated. You know. I have very strong ties to my family. That got complicated for him It was not easy for him. And i did my best to juggle My relationship with him and also try to keep my relationship with my family. You know my sister and the most important person in the world to me other than my children and He knew that that didn't make him very happy so he was. You know he could be hard. He could be hard on me. He could be hard. I mean i'm sure you know anybody who's had a relationship with him. you know. Sure my and while. I could tell you the same thing that he could be rough around the edges not easy but but there were times where you know where i knew he was. He looked to look to our relationship to keep him grounded. You know the key you know. I would get at home. He had come home at night and it would be. You know like wrapping his his legs around my legs you know real just like you know and he always wore tube socks to bed but he were tube socks to bed see did that doesn't sound very sexy but it was durable. See that's the thing he's just. He was so adorable. On top of of this you know this sexual mystique. He was just a sweet boy. You know it wasn't always about wanting to you. Know if i can say that can use where on the show wasn't all about fucking you know. He really needed touch and to the smells. He needed visceral experiences. Not just fucking so many. Many times i would get a call. I just need a hug right now. I mean even years. After i got a phone call in the of the night it was in ninety three ninety four ninety three. Can i come over. And it was tariq lock in the morning. Sure he comes over and he's i just want to hug. Nobody can hug me like you can't and it was just this big big giant hug and i was just given a big one. He was like a you know tears. He was going through something at that time. And i'm trying to figure out where he was at during that i don't know where he was at but he was not happy and Succumbing to come back free. Bnl lingo saying what's happening. So look i. Don i everybody. Everybody has their stories with him. I mean there's been plenty of women who've been with him. I don't what was fighting with him. Like oh not funny at all. 'cause he was mean he could be really mean And if you didn't stand up to it didn't actually didn't matter if you stood up to it or not. If he just wasn't in it he wasn't. You know. I had one argument with him and it was before i even we started really dating It was He'd asked me to come over to see him and he picked me up. We went over to his he was staying in l. a. And got out of the car went to the went to his room and he just stopped speaking and that we wasn't speaking for just ignored that i was even in the room with him and he's lying on the couch and his face was buried into the couch.

"Then he'd take the based start playing bass then he put tar on it and then he'd take keyboards out he'd start putting keyboard lines on it and see you know. There was the pat out and he was writing lyrics and then he'd go in and get everybody out for a minute and it would happen like that in my i saw mostly is. He always had a drum pattern. I always the drum pattern and then a baseline and then guitar and then he'd layer keyboards and whatever else and then all the vocals one of the things about that moment. Sonically is that wendy. And lisa bring something different and new to the sound and really change it. And the era that they are with him is his most fruitful right. Commercially and for a lot of critics Would would they add to the sound. That makes it so much more commercials so much more artistic so much more. I don't want us as better than any other period but made it what it was can only answer it from my perspective. I can't answer for anybody else. But i i would say that there was A musical Kinship first of all. They were very very good players. He's obviously a great player and he also loved them and shared real intimacy with them It wasn't until he met lisa. Did he listen to joni mitchell you know. Did he listen to records. That expanded his musical Visions he didn't he was hearing. You know certain jazz. Records from lisa certain Classical records And wendy and lisa and myself. Our families grew up in the l. A. session seen our fathers were players so there was a. I think that he respected them. Intensely there was no it was nothing contrived about their relationship and it was also really really funny and fun. The his sense of humor that was connected to his art and with them. It seemed to be cohesive like it all worked really well and sort of in I want to say Allowed him to experiment musically because he had their they had his back. Like it's great. You definitely do that. You know has that's out. Yeah do that. Or i may have something to bring to that and him say would lisa. What do you. What would you play on that. Or what. what what. What are you hearing on that. So i think that it was a perfect storm. You know he he. He probably is out yet. While i did know that he means he had grand ideas for himself he wanted to be you know bigger than life and he was then he met two people that could help him facilitate that. The bandit i mean the revolution facilitated his self imposed picture that he projected like were the machine in which was working behind him so that he could do that after so many funk records that were fendt tastic why did he then make a rock record. He wanted to be purely the most famous te famous. He wanted pop. Popsicles pop success crossover absolutely. He was a student of musicians and performers and loved the the adoration of a crowd and he knew how he knew that like it was gonna take a specific thing to to get that crowd going and during that time i mean michael was coming up and he was doing that thriller record came. It was perfect for him. It was a perfect time for princess. Say I'm going to be the guy at the environment. Set the stage for him to do it as well. Not just his own desire to do it but it was the perfect time but because michael jackson was hot. Because it's because they were they were playing. I michael was on. Mtv you know Prince was going to get on it. You know little red corvette nineteen ninety nine. He was gonna get bigger than that. It was time so in a fairly short period of time he goes from. Hey guys can you pick me up at the airport. The crash at your place to megastar super-rich. Yeah i mean. Was it a period of nine months that it went from having very little to having a ton yes but he was no different he. He was never a different. There was no difference between the guy who had tons of money in the guys guy. Who didn't he was always. That guy he wasn't he didn't wear different close off stage. She didn't you know he was a since he was a kid. He was still a little alien child. And that's how he wanted to. Wendy become boyfriend and girlfriend. Well i want to say it starts it starts during The purple ring filming starts heavy during the filming of that. Then it stops for a while then it goes back and forth and back and forth and then As somebody who does him do you look at purple rain and laugh. Do you want the truth. Yes yes i mean. All the all revolution era of people are like it's silly all of it. It's not real. It's it's yeah i mean. Is it like one percent real one. It's like i would say more than that. It's the music part of it. The live shows. That's one hundred percent. Real of course of course but the story of prince dan now now. What is the the moment that you're like okay. So now we are boyfriend and girlfriend and what is being his girlfriend like. That's a mixed bag You know i don't. There was no walking down the street. Saying i'm prince's girlfriend And i'm sure i didn't i. I'm not the only one who shared that feeling. He wasn't monogamous Although an and there were times when he would be When he asked me to marry him he was monogamous And i knew when he wasn't. I knew when he wasn't being straight When iced when we started recording the family record. That's when we started really getting very very close that any five Eighty eighty five and so through.

Travel with Rick Steves
Why I Love Rome
"Let's start the hour with three guides from rome. Who tell us what they love. Most about their city rome. It's the eternal city to one of the most romantic and popular destinations in the whole world but many visitors met with a harsh reality when they wander rooms. Ancient streets overcrowded sites chaotic. Urban seems unpredictable transit strikes. If you're not prepared. Rome can be a challenge. But many will agree with me that it's all worth it. Bernardo francesca russo and susanna perugini specialize in guiding american tourists around italy and. They've all made rome their home because they love their city. They join us now on travel. With rick steves to share their love of rome and share with us some tips on how we might enjoy it too you know. Francesca susannah bondar. Generate one so rome. I love history. And there's history every where you look. Francesca you're born and raised in rome. What's it like just to go to work. Surrounded by all that history. Sometimes i think about it that i can wait for the bus right by where julius caesar was stabbed to death. So i'm thinking that rome is a place where history goes from printed words on the page of a book to something. That's alive every minute of every day so you can feel it. Something had happened. Two thousand years ago happened right now. And there's layer after layer after layer. I mean there's like an archaeological dig isn't it but it's right before your very eyes. He has over two thousand years of history. Front is every single moment. Wherever you turn all at once pub is living in rome shape your outlook. I would say that most romans take it for granted. I think they gain a sense of how special the city is when they go elsewhere and they always find everything else so new so you become you become aware of how what it means to live with two thousand years of history once you leave it i think if you grow in it and you see coliseum every day when you drive to work in the sense you don't even see it any more than you might make a case that if you live in a land with very little with the shallow history. You don't appreciate history quite as much. i mean. The oldest building in my town is one hundred years old building a new town twenty times that could maybe if you live with things that are two thousand years old and every day i think you forget it and it just becomes something many conversations with my roman friends who say they've never been inside the coliseum where he could for take it for granted. Yeah but once you open their eyes to one thing then they understand and appreciate as well

The barista coffee shop for the guy at sainsbury's is going to see a different one and so on and so forth. The thing that i think is kind of fascinating about our obsession with authenticity. Because as you say it's a buzzword now and i also agree don't bring your whole self to work. You need to have some stuff. That's not at work. That's just your own but the problem with the obsession with with anticipate is the because so much of our life is now distilled into online technically in the last year. The internet does not allow and social media. Profiles does not allow for this compilation of selves. You sort of have to pick one so that it makes sense. And i think that's why people got themselves really tangled in not because when that's your primary way to relate to the world as it has been in the last year it can make you feel like you're being inconsistent other people. I don't know if you've noticed this all nodes people saying well. That's really unlike her or she posted this. I didn't really think she stood for ordinary. She was into that. And it depends what medium. You're using but i think what's happened is on twitter. You see something that the writer james mumford called package deal ethics this idea that you subscribe to a set of beliefs. If you believe one thing he believed to another you believe in another thing which i think is really dangerous. You know this idea that everyone on the left believes this ever on them. Right believes this because then that just how on earth do you meet in the middle of just kind of tick tick tick to all the same things and then on instagram. I think what it means is. There's just so much judgment around washy dressing. I thought she liked dressing modestly. Like what washy doing. not now. That's not her. Because i was talking about before down and i'm like well she's going through as i find that really weird and found it the way. It was equated to feminism.

What is the first step when a parent reaches out to you regardless of what stage. They're and their pregnancy well for for parents at home. Let me say one thing. You're not going to make a mistake when you care this much. For starters start paying attention in stores start paying attention on television. Listen to perhaps colleagues talk about their children and pay attention to the type of name style that seems pleasing for example you hear a parent and a store. Call out a very unusual name. Think to yourself. Oh i find that intriguing. I might like an unusual name to Whereas you're watching television show and a child might have a very classic name elisabeth and say i'm more comfortable with that. I like that sound of that. So i asked parents to start paying attention to that. As for my questionnaire. I will ask how they feel about their own name. What is their experience with their name when they were called honest child. How did they feel about responding to the name and those experiences with their own name are always very telling about the type of name or the type of experience they their own child has with their name.

"Funny weird yeah it's just it's baffling to me. And i find it very hard to reconcile because we know stephen king is a person tends to be pretty invested in an equitable society. Here rights over and over again about how racism is bad. We know this like some of my favorite writing around. Racism comes from eleven twenty to sixty three. We'll get to that when we get to that down the line but then he turns around and does stuff like this i. It's so hard to reconcile. And i think that's why it's important to talk about and to analyze his work. Because it's a very american problem to have. Yeah and you know. We don't think that we're not still stephen. King fans a lot of people will not be fans because of this. And that's okay and that's a good and that's right. That's right yup totally and we can have that position in by the way in part because we are two white men right. Our privilege allows us to have these conversations and then say but anyway it allows us to feel them in an abstract way. That is just different. And so no you know if you're reading the dark tower series that's action and you put it down forever. We get it like no. No disagreements there. We also think in general that the cultural impact of stephen king is so massive and the of stuff in is work that has been genuinely positive. Transformative in our lives is so massive that we kind of have a responsibility to take a hard look at both the good and the bat. And if you're going to say as i have said before that stephen king is the american writer. The as far as united states of america go where we can get into indigenous cultures in their relationship to literature later. But he's the american writer. He's the american way. He's the american culture and the american writing the american way the american culture fucking racist his true so it makes sense. Yeah again we're going to bring back to his writing style. He writes from the gut. If your raised in a culture he would have seen mr magoo right. That's within his lifetime. That would have been a normal. Even funny thing for him to just encounter would have been completely normal for him growing up if you internalize that and then you're writing as an adult later straight from the hip that's what he does straight from the hip. Oftentimes it works. Sometimes if you've internalized stuff like this it's gonna bleed out onto the page. Which is why. I've said at once. I'll say it again. Stephen king is at his best when he has a strong editor to help. Because this should never made it past the editorial stage it shouldn't have come out on the page. But it certainly shouldn't have been came by editor in two thousand and god damn for.

We're gonna finish this on the nicotine which is a medically appropriate. I'm steven rosado phoenix crockett. And this week we're tackling. And i do mean tackling song of susannah. Stephen king's sixth dark tower book published in two thousand and four phoenix genuinely. Who would you like to do the main points. You know what this episode is going to be so weird that i almost feel like we should do it like i led the sixth graders through today. Do it popcorn style. Oh paragraph-by-paragraph we taking it back to sixth grade. All right that's fine. Let's do that all started up. Oh as a note. This draws heavily from the wikipedia. Summary song of susannah is a story which flips between the worlds of east shoreham main fictional town and new york city across time the action begins with the last book ended the doorway cave. The many people are helping roland hetty and the others to open up the passage and get them all to new york but the portal and maybe call splits the group up and they are sent to different times in places to tie up loose ends. Before the finale of this epoch series susannah dean is inhabited entirely by mia a paranormal woman and team in who is connected to the consciousness of mea slash suzannah's unborn child the portal and the magic stone black. Thirteen zaps me at new york. Nineteen ninety nine where she historically not in. The president makes a deal with the devil here. An sensibly mortal man named sire to exchange her demonic immortality for human fertility. It is explained that the current mia's child is born of the egg of susanna and the sperm of roland. But that a sucker or incubus. It's unclear mixed the cells by having sex with both partners. The crimson king's speaks to me and tells her that she may raise her child. Free named more dread until the crimson king needs him for his anti christ duties and meow wholeheartedly agrees she understands that her next and only goal is to travels the dixie. Pick a vampire and demon pub that offers human berkers to deliver her baby under the close and watchful eye of the crimson. King's latkes jake or and father. Callahan are close behind. They consider the possibility that the demon fetus may be the hardest of their presumed enemies to battle during a pitstop. They hide black thirteen and a locker in the basement of the world trade center and it is implied that it is destroyed during the nine eleven attacks. In the meantime roland. Eddie are sent via the cave to main nine thousand nine hundred seventy seven and they must travel to new york to buy the vacant lot from calvin tower. They know that the rose is there and they must have control of it. Calvin tower is in hiding because enrico bows are. The monstrous mobster. Wants the law for himself. Bolivars men are given the gunslingers whereabouts and they including the ferocious. Jack antolini ambush eddie rowland and calvin but john cullum a groundskeeper saves them the crew assumes that he is a savior agent of car. One of many which will appear along the path from this point forward eddie and roland deed vacant lot to the corporation and then head to stephen king's house. They know his name from the errand copy of salem slot and believe that his relationships the tower must be important. Reality is thin in parts of maine especially around kings house. King is informed by ruined and eddie that walk ins beings from another realm are plaguing his town roland. Also hypnotizing him to learn that he is not a god. But a medium through which the dark tower tells its own tail roland suggests subconsciously. That king restart his efforts to write this series for all their sakes jake. Callahan are preparing to attack the dixie pig when they find susanna scrimshaw turtle a symbol of hope and powerful hypnotic talisman. Neither character expects to leave the dixie pig. Alive and the book ends as the pair enters. The bar with guns raised while susannah mia enters the final stages of labor in emphatic. A different realm in a postscript. Stephen king writes diary entries that further. Explain his relationship to the tower and there's also an entry about the date of his death june nineteenth nineteen ninety nine and now time for full dark no structure. This is where we just kinda chat. It's gonna be a long because just like dr tower series. We have a lot of stuff going on and a lot of stuff going on this episode did not want to be made. It has been almost a month We built a whole month cushion so that phoenix would not have to be recording so close to his paternity leave and then life happens super hard so two weeks ago. I had a sinus infection. And then last week i was sick and then my sinus infection came back. So if you're listening to this real time we recorded this forty eight hours ago if that yeah we sure did as i continue to work full time. Go to school time and prepare to have a baby in the next while. Who could be could be while. We're doing this recording legitimately. I reflect that my tolerance for less than perfect media is low. I'm going to really try to keep it positive here. I'm going to try to make some jokes. This is the second to last book. You'll have me four for paternity leave. So let's talk susannah. But also i didn't like it. Yeah i didn't like this one. And i i feel bad because we're a fan cast right like we started doing this because we loved words. Stephen king i'm gonna say up front. This is maybe the worst book we've read on the program. Yeah i mean yeah. The lowest ones are what like the talisman. The talisman probably also black house for me although that one that least had its moments. What's the opposite of desperation. The regulators was real. It wasn't.
Science Friction
Science FAIL! Why it's good to do
"We've all made mistakes right. But sometimes i can make us fundamentally confront who we are and who we want to bay beck in twenty four eighteen neuroscientist. Dr been to has had a damn good reason to be excited. It was it was such a shalit's basically there was years of work at prestigious scientific journal current biology had just accepted a paper by humidity supervisors based on his phd project but not without rigorous peer review. I of course reviews as good and tough questions and lots of extra analyses. I did when finally the email arrived and said yes. The paper is accepted. it was just. It was a very happy moment. A piper in a high impact journal. That's a big deal for. Young scientist then investigates how we perceive the world visually. So as your brain stitches together sane in front of you what you see is rematch spatially. Onto a part of your cortex at wrinkly atalaya of brian. So if you think of the cortex is old crumbled up that if you would flatten it out like a sheet could see on this flat surface neighboring points on the critical surf representing neighboring points in the visual field in the scene in front of us then put people in an mariah scanner to see what happened to the map when he distracted them using different visual cues. He came up with a k. For design for study and think we scan a total of twenty seven people which was at the time by far the largest study using this type of method and the method was kind of knew. He said there was a lot to figure out. It was computational so there were some analyses that literally took weeks every weekend machine would run through that stuff when it crashed it would send me an email which is a dangerous thing to do because when you get an e mail on sunday saying oh your coaches crashed in your very tempted to go back to the office and start to fix it. That lots of careful data crunching and analysis lighter and he'd found something significant and surprising this aspect of the brain of the visual brain which part of the scene a given neuronal population of marin response to seem to be more malleable than we thought and it was surprising that it seemed to change with attention. Just through your attending a given power to seen more than an condition. There's a lot to this week but the shorter the long of it is. This was a robust finding worthy of journal. So fast four now to six years later it's june twenty twenty and bins running his lab and tame remotely in the middle of a pandemic lockdown in germany. He's home is three. Kids is a lot going on right and he gets an email. I received that email. And i have to say at i. If i'm honest i i. Wasn't that worried that something was wrong. Really wrong only been didn't understand what yet and he would have to make a career defining choice about what to do next today on science fiction. Something we can all relate to filing and why it's good to do especially in science but also wants wrapped up in a whole lot of stigma and shame again especially in science you know great successes are trumpeted and things. That are not successes. You don't want people to know about however failure is so normal to the day to day working of science we need to move towards a culture where we are actively embracing failure. We all know that air is human and assigned as you know we have to ask why and behalf to ask how and way we fe often leads to the next question we are asking and so does this theory much part of scientific process. It's very great suits of inspiration in many ways the into no signs. That's not the way it looks and sounds in science when a journal pulls or retracts a paper the stuff of nightmares for scientists. But he's angst about scientific integrity scandals scaring scientists away from talking more openly about making mistakes back to that email bend has received at the uselessly. Big university in giessen. It was from susanna stole. Who is doing pay at university college. London under the supervision of professor sam schwarzkopf. Now sam had been a post doc in the lab been had done his pitch in and susanna was building on original. Study when i first read and paper thought. The design. They've chosen was really beautiful and was impressed. Ben included a very extensive stepney mandatory material conducting analyses infect around thirty pages of supplementary data for just a two page paper. Susannah was impressed with half farah was but then she went to do her on experiments and she noticed something odd she was getting. The same results has been even with different experimental conditions. And that shouldn't be high s-. I really had no clue
This American President
David S. Reynolds on Abraham Lincoln
"Our guest. Today is dr david. S reynolds historian who has written extensively on the civil war era. He's won numerous awards including the bancroft prize. And the ambassador book award just to name a few. And he is the author of the book. Abe abraham lincoln in his times professor reynolds. Thank you for being on our show. Great to be here richard. Thank you great. So much is made about president. Lincoln's lack of experience and his many supposed- professional failures prior to winning the presidency. But you seem to push back against this narrative. So what's the real story here. yeah One of the best books on him david. Donald to lincoln one of the better known books actually says very frankly that no president has ever entered the highest office being the least prepare less prepared than than lincoln that is the least prepared ball and on the surface kind of looks that way because he had less than one year of education just primary school education and Thou that was it and He didn't go through any formal formal of self education. Either but what i found is that he had something far more important. A insatiably curious. If he were on the law circuit around illinois he would go to a farmer and say. How does that machine work. And what brand of cow is that and and the pig over there. What can you describe that to me. Very very curious about the world around him And also he loved to read poetry in particular newspaper small so poetry and poetry kind of organized his thoughts and he memorized shakespeare by the page. She didn't do it to impress people but Suddenly suddenly would come out with a shakespearean soliloquy though is on his hard disk his brain and Or burns poem or something like that. So he was a really exposed to different levels of culture so much so that his contemporary emerson said There's one hero who stands out from the rest as somebody who bridges the entire range of experience from the very highest shakespeare of the opera. And all of that to the lowest. He like body humor and grotesque Frontier humor and emerson said he went down as far so the the very dogs believed in him so In a way who's very very open to experience and is that lincoln that i'm really interested in the songs he loved the poems he loved and what really made him a what what was going on inside of him right and you talk about. Lincoln's ran as an era of sensationalism. Violence susannah humor surreal the surreal in the bizarre which i think for anyone that follows politics now is a bit comforting to know that it's it's been like this for a while. So can you expand on just what you meant by that. Well i think there's been interesting sensationalism for a long time in many cultures but the difference was that because of changes in print printing techniques and also distribution techniques. Suddenly this was available to the masses and so the newspapers they used to be used to six hundred suddenly were once the penny papers and they were filled with sensational stories about murders and suicides and oh adultery and all all all this stuff and so yeah. I mean Linking grew up in this kind of culture. Also in popular humor lincoln said it was characterized by grotesque nece and it was a very violent kind of humor of gouging and and scrapping and scraping and a often feature these kind of frontier types. That were just wild men and people get a lotta thrills out of these kind of very very wild escapades in the crockett manuscripts the davy crockett manuscripts almond accents. Helper and p.t barnum. Who was a sensation. He was founded show business and wasn't in the circus business back then but he was in the museum business and he put on sensational displays like a fiji mermaid. Who is this beautiful blonde. Half naked woman had presented that way in in the posters. But actually it was just a a monkey's torso tied to a salmon's tail assistant in some water. And anyway the biggest. The smallest the fattest put things on display so in a way Lincoln had to serve accommodate culture as well because he was sold as as abe. That's book is called the kind of rough frontiers men with his sleeves rolled up and he's wielding an axe in these splitting the rails and by the time that It was advertised that way. It had been many years since. He's splitting rails because he was a respectable lawyer by the time war. Good suits and all of that and it was making a good income but he allowed himself to be sold as a even though he hated the name but he said without names like old. Abe uncle abe Honesty i wouldn't have been elected. I would not have been elected. So he was sort of put on display almost in a barnum barnum like way in eighteen sixty.

Here & Now
Trump pushes baseless voter fraud claims at Georgia rally
"Voting and Georgia's high stakes Senate run offs is underway. Today's elections will determine which party controls the Senate, and that will ultimately determine how difficult or easy it'll be for President elect Joe Biden. To get his agenda through Congress. Let's check back in with a meal. Moffett, a reporter at member Station W. A. B in Atlanta in a meal, both Senate seats are up for grabs. And Georgia and polls have been open for several hours already. Now today, what do you seeing? How are how are things going? Mostly smooth, no reports of really long lines or major technical snag. So far this morning, there have been a few smaller counties that have seen some problems with the voting machines have had to go to emergency paper ballots, but nothing in the metro counties. And that's been for good news for voters like Susannah Duran, who works for a Latino outreach group. She was first in line this morning. His polls opened at Pittman, part Recreational Center in southwest Atlanta. She says she just didn't have the time to vote early is polling places suggested the hours Over the holidays. I should have known it earlier. But this has been so busy. I work in elections, too. So we've been organizing and like it's just been so wild all these hours. And it's interesting that the early voting period was around Christmas and New Year's. This year's of people did go out to vote, even though it's been a very busy time of year to have a runoff election. Well, In fact, it looks like three million people went out and cast their ballots during that early voting period. So taking that and what you're also seeing there at the polls today? How does this election compared to previous run offs in terms of turnout? What does it say about the enthusiasm in this election? It says a lot. Normally, you do see a big, pretty big drop off from the general to the runoff election. But while turnout was down slightly from the general election in November, it's still really robust in this runoff elections and that I think speaks to the national implications of this race and, of course, Voters on both sides of the aisle say it'll affect not only the national landscape but also their everyday lives as well. You told us that things appear to be going smoothly so far today. But at a press conference yesterday, top state election official Gabriel Sterling had this morning. We anticipate there could be any number of Potential threats out there that could be in attempting to encourage or discourage turnout. We encourage everyone to please turn out. Be safe. Be smart, and don't let anybody get in the way of you casting your vote. So what do we know about those threats and what kind of precautions are being taken? The threats have been described as vague. But county officials have been preparing for weeks working with law enforcement's there in each county to make sure voters and election employees are safe. But it should be noted that we have seen and continue to see threats made against county officials against state officials, including Gabriel Sterling, the official we just heard from As well as some lawmakers following the very contentious November election in the aftermath. Well, it has been contentious and look no further to the rally that President Trump had in Georgia. Yesterday, he spent most of it repeating baseless claims of voter fraud and falsely said that he won the state in November. It was the same message we heard in that phone call with Georgia's Republican secretary of state. Over the weekend. Have you heard anything? Maurine the past 24 hours, and we have you on yesterday to talk about this phone call, But have you heard anything more? If you know, Trump's constant undermining of Georgia's voting system is impacting the race today or turnout today. As far as turnout goes, We're seeing a similar numbers to what we saw on Election day in November, kind of a steady flow of voters. But no major lines like we've seen in past election s, So I think it might actually be tonight when polls close when we're able to get kind of a good gauge of the full effects of President Trump's Continued baseless claims of fried but from some of the supporters of President Trump we've talked to seems like most are kind of holding their noses and going to the polls anyway. But with the race is so close, you know, every vote is going to be important, and so if they're just a few holdouts that could that could affect the race. Polls closed tonight at seven Eastern. How long before we know the outcome of this election? Could it be really drawn out process like we saw in the general back in November? There's a potential for it to be. Counties did have a jump start on processing the absentee ballots. They were able to start two weeks ago processing the ballots and they had to start a week ago getting through those, but there are a million absentee ballots to count in this runoff election, so it very likely could be a day or two, especially depending on how close these races end up being. All right. We'll be there to watch it a meal. Moffett, a reporter of member Station W. A. B in Atlanta. Thanks so much. It's my pleasure.

You're doing now designate so action jeez ring us is volunteers from a really large range of backgrounds. And we have criterias. I'm sure any A high profile and high quality organization does and so we want 'em cheers volunteers. Who have the academic ability to choose your effectively. But also the communication and motivation that sits right with 'em our mission and so that means that the range of of of jesus we have we say eighteen to eighty two. I think is the spreads. Yea really really big. And it's incredible to see how different ages backgrounds of jesus resonate with different people's there's no magic pairing that we can predict. Sometimes it just clicks and our volunteers several of the my you know at least ten percent are qualified teachers themselves not in the classroom anymore. They might be retired so they they do. Come with significant experience in the mainstream education am space but a lot of our teachers are simply incredibly passionate about either english or mats. I want to convey that love and energy to to a young person. Who does it baby house that. Save level of enthusiasm so our target population as we call them of. Our peoples are disadvantaged peoples in receipt of free school meals and in the recent years but also those who are underachieving so at risk of not getting those just essential grades is passing grades. So we're not working with those who have quite specialists needs nor are we working with those who are high achievers. Aiming for university is another amazing organization the access project. They're working with that group We're working with everybody else in the middle those who it could really make a difference to get over the line. We've been around. I'm nine years growing in scale and each year started off with a couple of schools peckham in london with susannah and this year. We're expecting to be over two hundred and supporting over five thousand people's am and with. Thanks definitely from the the opportunity afforded to us by the national tutoring program. Right okay so. Let's talk about national teaching program. We are how many weeks so we kicked off As we always do in october but the ntp launched officially at the beginning of next week. Six now excellent. Okay so what do you see. How does it work. What's what can what are the challenges. Yeah explain it to us. Yeah well we've essentially a apply to be a tuition provider with the mvp based on our model so we've presented and say this is what we do and they said they agree and would like to support thought so it is in many ways operations as normal for us just at a larger scale and the big change. I suppose that's that's come as a result of the mvp and kovic is our launch of online programs. So historically in fact up into last june we only ever delivery teaching face to face and not cheering as always taking place in a school because we partner with schools rather than with parrots and the the. Ntp really has accelerated our growth of online tutoring. It means that we can now open volunteering opportunities to a wider range of locations and also work with some schools that we may be where little nervous to get the full cohorts of tissues. We needed and wanted there. So it has expanded horizons in many ways an overall our ambition. This year is is to double in size am an when obviously not doing not alone. The the anti pd is thirty. Three providers all across england. I'm who are working hard to to support disadvantaged pupils and kind of narrow the gap that has been further whitened as result of the pandemic and school closures.

Mozart's Operas
"Welcome to classics for kids. I'm Naomi. Lewin. Both Con Amadeus Mozart wrote more beautiful music in his not quite thirty five year lifetime than a lot of composers who lived a lot longer one kind of music that fascinated Mozart from the time he was a kid was opera. Mozart I. said he wanted to write an opera when he was eight and when he was twelve, he did up through the very last year of his life. He continued composing operas. An opera is a stage work with costumes and sets that also includes music singing as an important part of the drama instead of speaking their lines, the characters sing them. Italy. Was the country where opera got its start. So Italian was the fashionable language for writing operas even in German speaking Austria where Mozart lived. But Go to kind of opera that's related to our Broadway musical. It's called the Zing Spiel a play with singing Austrians who didn't speak Italian could understand because it was in German just like in American musical theater, there are spoken lines that move the plot along but when the characters want to let you know what they're feeling, they sing about it or August. I have two favorite Mozart operas one in each language not city Figo Godot is Italian for the marriage of Figaro. This opera is based on a very famous, very revolutionary play about a servant Figaro who outsmarts his royal master. Since, there was still plenty of royalty around when the play was written. It was pretty daring. Some kings wouldn't allow it to be performed. At the beginning of the Opera Figaro is busy measuring his new bedroom, you can hear him counting five, ten, twenty in. Italian of course. Susannah the woman Figaro's going to marry tries to interrupt. She wants him to look at her bridal veil. You can hear in Mozart's music how hard it is forces Emma to get Figaro's attention. Figaro has some Great Arias or Solos in the opera when one of the characters is sent to the army and doesn't want to go figaro things about what it will be like ticked rate in his pants, he closed for a uniform and then marched to the mud. Nine. and. My other Mozart favorite is the magic flute heat Salva Fluid a Germans ing. SPIEL. In the magic flute, the Queen of the night represents evil dark forces and Rostro represents light and truth. It's brilliant how Mozart shows the contrast between them by having the Queen of the night fast loud and very high. While rostro music is slow deliberate and very. The. Most, fun character in the magic flute is Papa Gay No. The Bird Catcher I even named a cat after him. Papa John is always looking for a wife when he finds one, her name turns out to be Papa Gain A-, and they sing a wonderful using their names to investigate the birds he catches. Wish, I had time to play you more music from Mozart operas next week a kind of music so. In Mozart's bay that classical composers latched onto it to

Californias cap-and-trade program pays for clean water fund
"Under California law everyone in the state has a right to clean and affordable drinking water. But many disadvantaged communities still rely on contaminated water either from private wells or public water sources. Groundwater in the Central Valley in California has been highly polluted and it's running through old and dilapidated infrastructure getting to people's taps. Susannah Donda is co-founder of the Community Water Center and environmental. Justice organization she says Industry and Agriculture contribute to the problem runoff from fertilizer can cause high nitrate levels which pose health risks and excessive pumping during droughts can cause arsenic to accumulate in groundwater. But relief is in sight last year California passed a law establishing fund for safe and affordable drinking water using money from the state's cap and trade program. It allocates up to one hundred and thirty million dollars to solutions each year for a decade this money is also going to be available not only to just public water systems that are not meeting safe drinking water standards, but it's also available for people on domestic wells on private wells. So Donda says, it's an important step toward California's goal of clean water for all.

Rising to the Challenge of Working From Home without Childcare with Susannah Quinsee
"Around mid-march, as all, the the pandemic is, is taking over in the UK was probably about a week behind the US where they the panic points. Ten so. Describe how you learned that everything was going to go online and sort of what that realization was like, both in terms of your work than massively scaling up at the same time that your child care was hearing. Yeah, so I tended to not work weekends where I could avoid it in before as I cooled it before life. I remember I think it was on the Saturday morning for some reason I picked up my fire, and it was just like. My email was just rammed with messages, saying that we were gonNA move everything online. By the twenty thousand mark will preferably Leah and that's what my team does like we support. The staff in the university to use online missiles says to defend that teaching, and so it was a moment of kind of okay, so we're doing this in how? So, yeah, that will weekend. Who tried to work? Our approach was really meant because it's one thing to say, we're moving online. But what does that really being? Then? Students had been told that we were. We were trying to work through. There was just no and I just remember that whole weekend was spent just trying to ride emails in between Juggling Children and family life, and my partner works at the same university and he's an it, so he was. Getting slammed at the same time and. We finally just went out for Wolf on the Sunday afternoon, and it felt so good to just kind of get what hadn't realized how stressed I was until we actually left the house, so yeah, that's how I found out about to Winton. older next week was just rammed at that stage. We still had childcare. But then we weren't sure when knockdowns that she going to start, there was quite a lot of uncertainty. He would be allowed to work and who wouldn't say, that was so of just evolving what was happening with schools, either at that point site that was that was kind of very up in the that happened very quickly as well, not my oldest daughter school. Just she went in in the morning, came home off new. We shot. Just kind of a lot of places places happened. Well, hopefully you are able to help your professors and students transition with a bit more A. Yes. How did you do that? Like what? What sort of support did you provide for for teachers like wait? I've never taught online before. Yes, it might seem Woah, absolutely amazing, just stepping up, and so I can head of educational technology instantly over that weekend produced a kind of Wiki page then we just all the material content on, and we start to die. That's quickly as possible and get that message out that. So as soon as we had that link, we will send around Dolphin University say okay. This is the information you need is is here. And funny enough like that morning. I'd just been kind of before. This will happen in thinking are really think we need to. Plan of things, how are we going to manage? This is a director until I see my team, saying these are the five areas that we need to focus on like that morning, and then by the often. Okay those changed little bit. Differently so yeah, that's what we did we. We went into so I. The deputy president at the Investi that we had various structures to like manage how you change policy because its policies and kind of contractual things you have to do with students that we kind of feed into committees around that what can with colleagues across invest t to support staff in particular Cessna? That was the big thing. We about to move into the exam period. That's why the investors had exams from Sawing April may so that was a big transition point to move Every of invested in kind of weld was doing it at the same time between different institutions. And so, what did you come up with I'm very curious what what is best practice for online assessment then? Yeah, sure so in the initial period. It was kind of what we call it. The emergency response so we had four five principles see if I can remember the words said one one was was around. Try and do as much as you can a think critically. Too, seriously, so in real time basically because I had no idea where our students were. Could be anywhere in the world. We have lot of international students, so said as much as you can to up, they can. Adapt flexibly. That was that was one thing. The other one was around. This is not perfect online learning. This is about best efforts to try and get as much as you out there and really communicate with your students. Should be very basic, so you shouldn't assume that anyone has anything moved a mobile phone and. Data collect point on a mobile because again all of us giants had carrying respond species living with parents who suddenly have other siblings at home so. That was one of them was. Keep it simple as well so you just be communicating with your students in university system, so they want rocket science united was it was a big

The Last of Us on HBO - Everything we know so far
"In other exclusive Sony News. It was announced that there is going to be last of US TV show from the writer creator of Chernobyl And it's going to be working with like Neil Diamond's going along with them It seems like really just sort of everyone kind of came together on this What I WANT. I want to hear the story behind this. Because Shannon would who plays Dina and loss of US potter apparently introduced Neil Druckman to. Oh yeah okay. She's on Westworld on it. She is and she introduce them. And I'd I'd love to kind of hear about those Ille- chats because the sky Craig Mazin was. Is that how you show no? I hopefully soon. If you haven't seen sure noble go watch it. 'cause it's like says very good easing very good. I'm like a huge horror fan and that was probably my my favorite piece of media around horror last year which was terrifying. Because there's no monster it's just invisible. Poison the yeah. It's super creepy and real. Yeah but it turns out a craig is also a big Fan of last of us and it was weird kind of one of those like. Oh It's a nice twitter romance. Where like him and Neil to start tweeting at each other back and forth and then gradually I guess they just sort of actually talking about doing this. Yeah What's interesting about? This specifically is the this effectively cancels out the long in production. How movie that they were working on that. Neil Druckman openly tweeted like about a year ago and they said like we have a script he was like. I haven't seen it right. So good luck out. There was one of those like that. Movie was sort of neck and neck with uncharted for awhile in terms of like who is making. This is actually happening. This is getting kicked to fifteen different writers and directors. Every six weeks it was in development hell constantly and so this will play. This is the they've gone down to especially in terms of everyone's a little bit. I understand the concern or of attending something like the loss of us into a different format because it it works so well as a piece of interactive media particularly when it comes to that sort of end twist where you realize that the character you are controlling spoilers. Sorry sorry yeah massive spoilers. The character you're controlling isn't necessarily the guy thought he was and that is a very pal that was a very powerful moment in the game for me and you're not necessarily going to be able to replicate that in a shower or film but I do think that there are so many other avenues at a show in particular could take that world into. Yeah I think there's a lot more room for world building their Mike Concerns. Are that this unlike. You just alluded to. I think if you're a huge fan of the game you have that story already. That story was told you in the medium that you I received it in and having that reinterpreted through cinema is a kind of thinom cinema. You can't say cinema. You have to say Susannah. Oh you like Salem. I only watch cinema on it. It could. It could be kind of like weird offloading because you're sort of that reverse uncanny valley. Yeah sadly not to say that. Yeah because all of a sudden you're looking at something and you're like that's not the character that I imagine the this way you have to do this voice. This is the way you have to do this character. Like people have already been asking for the Ashley Johnson and Troy Baker to play these characters and like that doesn't work because they does not solve that so profoundly doesn't work. Yeah yeah if they don't Johnson is not a kid no no exactly troy. Baker is not. He's not a crusty old man Yeah I mean but I'm still really excited. I do think that as a story. The loss of us is one of the very few stories that can actually shoulder an HBO adaptation. I think that is one of the most we will while mature storytelling director of Muslim. Thin them off but like it is it is. It is voices to their cinema. We're getting too silly. You'll see in the three colors trilogy. No I only walked three Ninjas kick back in the cinema saying anyway very miserable storytelling dot. So I think it's right and I was. I was sort of wondering whether that they would actually like focus on different carriages. Hope yes like we do. There's there's a quote here from like Hollywood reporter said the. Hbo Series Will Cover The events of the original game which was written by Druckman with the possibility of additional content based on the forthcoming game sequel. The last part two. Yeah and it'll be Joel and Ellie story with some deal. We're not just Hypothesis hypothesizing here. It's not going to be Joel and Ellie. It is and reiterated by Craig. Ooh instead of saying when he said that Elliot is going to be gay in the NFL. We know that Elliot's actually going to be the focus. Yeah I think this this also just one thing on this. I do really think it it. It's going to be made or broken by its core. Two are like whoever they cost. I think so far a lot of the speculation that has been really wildly off Because people will kind of forget that we are focusing on. How old was early in the game she was. I think it and I'm probably wrong. I Apologize Response at an auction. I'm trying to think that because she's she's nineteen in the sequel and that is five years later. If I'm right possible to do that math. We'll have to this on this show whether it's five years. I'm not sure wouldn't know God I've taught myself. I'm just seeing the Youtube comments pouring down. But she's she's young kid she's only just like interim kind of teenagehood she's very very young and I personally would love to see an unknown in that role like like a lot of people have to do the casting where it's like. Who Does the character look like? And it's like well that doesn't really the whole point of acting is to behave like someone else regardless of how you might look and you know. Obviously there's I mean we. We saw this recently with the witcher casting where people like. That's not my Jennifer and then the show came out and for the most part like this is actually pretty good. This they nailed it. They did a good job. And what's based on why it's there is of course that thing where you you look at it. Whatever the show is there will inevitably be people. Were like well. I don't know how I feel about it. It's not what I wanted.
