He just had some cleanup done, normalizing the volume, pulling out some “less than critical” content and generally doing a better job than before. If you were subscribed before, you still are. But since there are now a different number of episodes, things may be off for you. If so, sorry about that. You’ll probably need to manually…

  PNME 2007 #46: Building a Television Studio in your Basement In the world of video podcasting, there are far fewer scripted shows than there are videoblogs and interview shows. Why is that? One of the reasons is that creating a scripted video podcast, even a simple one, can be a much larger undertaking than other types of shows. While many of the lessons you need to learn aren?t unique to the online space (filming, editing, writing, and acting, deciding what the show should be about), many of them are: How do you find the time to build what is essentially a TV show from scratch? Where do you…

  PNME 2007 #44 Growing Your Audience in a Podfaded World We’re a few years in on the whole podcast/netcast thing, and everyone’s getting testy. Podcasters are getting testy because listener growth is flatlining, and increasing the numbers in their audience is getting harder to do. Why? Because podcast listeners, who are also getting testy, are feeling that way for a very good reason: they feel abandoned by testy podcasters who up and quit doing their podcast, because they can’t grow their audience. Which leaves more listeners with more time to listen to the podcasts you make,…

  KerryG

  2 Nov 2009 | 8:04 pm

  Think Tank Photo has added a major addition to their bestselling Urban Disguise line. The Urban Disguise 70 Pro is a huge shoulder bag that can carry up to a 70-200 f2.8 lens attached to any camera body. As with the other models in this line, it is designed so that it doesn’t look like a camera bag. This fits with the Think Tank Photo philosophy of designing bags for photographers who need to protect their gear. This is a briefcase style gear bag for traveling in style and protecting camera equipment without attracting attention as an obvious camera bag.  The interior is cavernous and…

  This is a product that may be new to a lot of photographers.  I know it’s a little new for me too, as I just started researching rail systems at the beginning of this year after buying my Canon 5D Mark II.  I read, researched and talked to people to really get an understanding of what a rail system does for you and why you would need it.

  For a little over a year now I have been using a Think Tank Photo Airport International 2.0 as my primary bag and a Think Tank Photo Shape Shifter bag for my travel bag. The problem has been that my big bag has been too bulky was awkward for hauling my reflectors and I still needed to take my laptop bag with me. With the Shape Shifter bag I could take my laptop easily but was very limited on the amount of gear I could take.

It was a way for me to teach… A way for me to use myself as a textbook.” When she gives birth, a cameraman will be in the hospital room with Lynsee, her husband, her mother and her midwife.

  MediaMemo reports today that Apple is allegedly talking to the TV networks to round up support fr a monthly subscription service that would deliver TV programs via iTunes: Apple (AAPL) isn’t tying the proposed service to a specific piece of hardware, like its underwhelming Apple TV box or its long-rumored tablet/slate device. Instead, the company is presenting the offer as an extension of its iTunes software and store, which already has 100 million customers. A so-called “over the top” service could theoretically rival the ones most consumers already buy from cable TV operators–if…

A formally trained guitarist by age nine, and composer and recording artist in his teen years, Lerche was poised to take on the pop world by 2001 when his debut, "Faces Down," went gold in his native country almost overnight. The Scandinavian talent then relocated to the U.S. to record his new album, "Heartbeat Radio," which finds him tapping the spirit of jazz, psych-folk, and of course, his loyal muse, '80s pop.

  Imagine this. You have a letter of acceptance in your hand, and one of rejection... which one are you going to brood over? If you’re like most writers, you’ll take the rejection to heart, while discounting the positive news.

  30 Oct 2009 | 10:00 pm

  Nobody really knows what Beethoven's improvisations sounded like, but this Fantasy gives a rare glimpse into the  inventive mind of the master, as he put music together on the spot, at the piano. Eventually this was written down as his Op. 77.  As bonus, Inna Faliks plays a couple of Preludes by the composer, poet and novelist, Boris Pasternak. Beethoven:  Fantasy, Op. 77.  Pasternak:  Two Preludes (1906) Inna Faliks, piano Recorded in a live broadcast in WGBH's Fraser Performance Studio on October 29th, 2009. ©2009 WGBH Educational Foundation.

  Beethoven's friend the Baron Ignaz von Gleichenstein was the lucky dedicatee of this beautiful Sonata for cello and piano.  Beethoven must have had a lot of respect for the cello-playing Baron, because he gave him the first notes of the theme to play without any accompaniment!

  WGBH Educational Foundation

  2 Oct 2009 | 10:00 pm

  Debussy planned to write six sonatas before he died, for various combinations of instruments, but only got around to writing three before he died of colon cancer.  This Cello Sonata is the first one he finished.  He originally wanted to call it "Pierrot angry with the moon", refering to the unhappy clown character in Commedia dell'arte theater.  You can imagine PIerrot in this music: whimsical and funny, but occasionally revealing an undercurrent of sadness.

  National Public Radio

  13 Oct 2009 | 3:37 pm

  A "milk tooth" is another name for a baby tooth, or the first tooth a child grows before his or her permanent teeth come in. It's also the name of a band from Nashville that's put out one of the more mesmerizing CDs I've heard in recent months. Milktooth's self-titled debut dabbles in a bit of everything, from noise-rock to glittering indie-pop and gentle folk, all in the span of about 25 minutes. If a single tone or theme ties the songs together, it's a surreal kind of creaky Americana, with spare acoustic instruments and sometimes haunting atmospherics, led by the howling voice of frontman…

  Late nineteenth–century art is usually identified with airy and colorful impressionist paintings and the radiant atmosphere of Paris. But in the shadowy recesses an art of a very different kind thrived. Prints, drawings, and small sculpture from the period present an alternative vision in depictions of the inner worlds of emotions, anxieties, and fantasies. Mainly stored away rather than openly displayed by their owners, the works in this exhibition appealed to artists and audiences devoted to a private aesthetic experience. Peter Parshall, the Gallery's curator of old master prints, talks…

I was reminded of the trip a few days ago when I was looking through some of my photos and came across some of the many photos we took during that trip. It was a wonderful 10 day trip and we had a fantastic time visiting places, such as the Great Wall, The Forbidden City, the Summer Palace, the Beijing Zoo, etc… Being who I am, the one thing from the trip that really stuck in my mind, besides the amazing historical sites, was our walk through what I believe…

  Well, we’re past Halloween and that means that the Holiday season is officially underway!  Besides family gatherings, or maybe because of them, one of the most central fixtures of the holidays seems to be food.  While there are many foods that stand out during this season that I could talk about, there is one berry that seems to make it into most of the season’s traditional holiday meals.  Can you guess which one I’m talking about?  That’s right!  Cranberries!  That is why I am dedicating this episode to the wonderful world of cranberries.

  29 Oct 2009 | 6:00 am

  Photo by D Sharon Pruitt via Flickr It is normal to occasionally feel sad or unhappy with a situation.  Life can be stressful and overwhelming at times and can lead people to feel sad.  Things like breakups, losing a job, getting a pay cut, having an argument with a friend or spouse are all examples of things that can bring on sadness, pain or grief. However, these negative emotions usually fade with time.  But with depression, those feelings can linger for weeks, months or even years and are more intense than just the normal blues. Depression is not uncommon though.  It is estimated that…

This is an example of an overuse injury, specifically tendinitis, which is one of the most common sports related injuries.  Now, in…

  6 Nov 2009 | 8:00 pm

  When I studied Sociology and Law, the term social engineering was used to designate all such activity, mostly instigated by the state, that attempts to steer society to develop in particularly desired direction. Social engineering was a macro-subject and entailed among others the study of Karl Popper's plea for piecemeal engineering. Anything on a micro-level I would have called applied social psychology. The latest edition of the excellent Hebrew podcast Making History with Ran Levi (עושים היסטוריה! עם רן לוי), however speaks of social engineering (הנדסה…

One of those and one fo the first you are to encounter is that of the Industrial Revolution. The latest of these courses is Professor John Merriman's European Civilization, 1648-1945.

The Israeli deputy minister of foreign Affairs Dani Ayalon was invited to the London School of Economics to present Israel's view on the Israeli-Arab conflict and most of this resulted in a tedious repetition of the atmosphere and rhetoric that inevitably hangs around this issue. Not only did Ayalon's speech hold much that had not been said many times before, also the restless audience did not bring much news to make life really difficult for this spokesperson. It seems, the more the atmosphere is heated, the fewer…

• Dacher Keltner on happiness and health

  5 Nov 2009 | 8:00 am

  In modern psychology more than in traditional psychology there is attention for happiness. This new psychology is called positive psychology and it holds as tenant that what allows people to function well in their lives are their strong qualities and that what helps people who need psychological help more than anything is emphasis on their strong points. It makes for a psychology that is less busy with neuroses and deficiencies, but rather with emotional strengths, social intelligence, compassion, well-being and therefore, eventually happiness. Consequently, on psychology podcasts, both…

  5 Nov 2009 | 10:10 am

  James Howard Kunstler thinks Boston is one of the few healthy major cities left in the U.S. He says gentrification has been a good thing for the city. He is disappointed with the outcome of Boston's "big dig" project, though. When the city finally placed a major elevated expressway underground, Boston squandered a great opportunity to repair the street-and-block fabric that the highway had previously disrupted. Instead, so-called environmentalists succeeded in advocating for a half-assed, nebulous "green space." On the subject of ugly architecture, Kunstler says the MIT area in nearby…

• KunstlerCast #86: The High Line

  James Howard Kunstler discusses two major projects that have recently turned 19th century railroad structures into parks: the High Line in lower Manhattan and the Walkway Over the Hudson in Poughkeepsie, N.Y. The High Line is a unique park in New York City, built upon a former elevated rail line that used to bring trains through buildings. Although the High Line gives reprieve to New Yorkers, Kunstler finds it to be an accidental freak of urban nature. We would benefit more from the deliberate creation of beautifully designed streets and boulevards at grade level. The Walkway Over the Hudson…

• KunstlerCast #85: Is NYC The Green Metropolis?

  James Howard Kunstler & Duncan Crary

  22 Oct 2009 | 8:40 am

  Inspired by David Owen's book "Green Metropolis," James Howard Kunstler examines the idea of Manhattan as a "green" city. Kunstler believes that, during his lifetime, New York has never been in as good shape as it is now. But he also thinks it will never be in as good shape again. Financial and energy problems in the future may turn our newest skyscrapers into one-generation buildings, outlandish monuments built during the twilight of an empire. Of all the boroughs, Kunstler thinks Brooklyn may fare the best because of its higher quality urban fabric. Sponsor: http://www.grinningplanet.com

One of the most important tasks we will face is determining the size, scale and shape of the 21st Century city. Kunstler says current cities are not scaled to the energy realities of the future. We must downscale, reform and de-automobilze our cities. Urban thinkers and urban planners will serve as our guides throughout that process. In this episode, Kunstler returns to the list of top 100 urban thinkers complied by Planetizen.com to discuss some of the top names…

Jane Jacobs, author of The Death and Life of Great American Cities, made #1 on the list. Kunstler explains the story and importance of Jacobs. He also recollects interviewing her in 2000. Although at the time Jacobs was writing a book about the coming energy crisis, Dark Age Ahead, Kunstler said she didn't seem interested in talking about "Long Emergency" issues during their conversation. A listener caller tells us why he thinks Seasame Street is a good model for urbanism.
