http://www.gigadial.net/public/station/1384 Send me something! Sat, 04 Jul 2009 04:42:36 MST en http://www.miptalk.com/media/MIP007.mp3 Larry Hertzog was born. There have been rumors to the contrary but his mother insists that the event occurred late in the sweltering summer of 1951. When the residents of Flushing, N.Y. became aware of his existence in their neighborhood, the family was soon forced to flee into the suburbs of New Jersey. Fate would have it that Larry was destined to grow up in the John Hughes world of Teaneck, New Jersey. It was in the flames of suburban heat that this more-than-slightly-twisted personality was forged. Growing up, Larry got along well with his peers. He admired many girls and though his admiration was rarely returned, he made sure to repay their generosity by indulging in copious evening fantasies. There were a few boys that he managed to befriend though many drew the line when he requested they join him in singing show tunes. At the extremely mature age of 16, Larry quit Teaneck High School to pursue a career in horticulture. When that failed, he briefly attended NYU Film School. When it became apparent that kissing Marty Scorsese?s ass was part of the curriculum, Larry saw yet another opportunity to cut bait and leave another institution of higher education behind him. Untethered in the late 60?s, Larry realized he now had a chance to pursue his generation?s foray into ?free love.? He discovered, to his delight, that although no one of the opposite sex would pay attention to him, his fantasies were, indeed, free. With horticulture behind him and a promising future ahead of him, Larry packed up his bags and moved to Los Angeles to pursue a career in the film industry. He soon found himself behind Camera 1 covering the Los Angeles Thunderbirds, an all-female Roller Derby team. Though these women appeared to be ?on a similar intellectual plane,? they, too, ignored him. (Except for an incident in which he was upended with a flying crotch block.) With his career in athletics a shamble, he turned to the only avenue left to him. Writing. He was counseled to write about what he knew best. He soon discovered there was little market for scripts about ?night fantasies.? The rest of the story involves his work on ?Kate Loves a Mystery,? ?Hart to Hart,? ?Hardcastle and McCormick,? ?Stingray,? ?J.J. Starbuck,? ?seaQuest,? ?Nowhere Man,? ?Profiler,? ?Walker, Texas Ranger,? ?Hunter,? ?La Femme Nikita? and ?Missing? (referred to by his biographers as ?The Canadian Years.?) The end of the story hasn?t been written yet though many are anxious to hear it. When it comes, it?s reasonably sure that the headlines will be HUGE. ?Failed Horticulturist Chokes on Double-Whopper with Cheese.? ??? Sadly, friend of MIPtalk Larry Hertzog passed away on April 19, 2008. Brad and Noam have decided to honor his memory by reairing an episode of his podcast series Drinks with Larry and Lauren.

That tall, supple, smiling Obama figure, standing tall, fires up good feelings through the ?mirror neurons? in our brains. ?Up and forward? is the effect we feel, as Lakoff puts it in conversation. So what is the effect on our political minds of what feels now like an uncertain Obama shuffle to the center or the right? ?Bad things? are transmitted by the same mirror neurons to our embodied brains, Lakoff says, when the gifted candidate?s ?metaphorical body? seems to waffle ? on phone-company immunity for illegal wiretapping, for example, or even on the use of churches as public social agencies. http://www.gigadial.net/public/submit/391470 Sun, 13 Jul 2008 22:57:15 MST http://www.stackoverflow.com/audio/stackoverflow-podcast-001.mp3 Wondering what stackoverflow.com will be?

Here's the 25-minute interview in an MP3. http://sundaygang.com/lakoff/lakoff050308.mp3 I think he hit it out of the park and I hope this makes its way into the Obama campaign. It's got so much more substance than the typical talking head stuff on CNN and MSNBC. http://www.gigadial.net/public/submit/237894 Wed, 05 Mar 2008 15:38:19 MST http://sundaygang.com/clinton/030508-clinton-calla.mp3 http://www.gigadial.net/public/submit/237893 Wed, 05 Mar 2008 15:37:10 MST http://sundaygang.com/obama/030508-obama-calla.mp3 http://www.gigadial.net/public/submit/237892 Wed, 05 Mar 2008 15:36:34 MST http://sundaygang.com/misc/scottRosenberg.mp3 Another in a series of 20-minute interviews with smart people of all walks of life about the political issues of our day.

Then I started talking about it, people kept telling me just do it. So today I did. http://sundaygang.com/001.mp3 My guests are Nicco Mele and Morra Aarons, a married couple, they live in Medford MA. Morra is a frequent guest on CNN and writes at BlogHer. I met Nicco when he was working on the Internet for the Howard Dean campaign in 2004. Nicco was famous for switching to McCain a couple of years ago, but now he appears to have regained his senses. He still likes McCain and explains why in this 33 minute conversation which was cut short by the battery on my phone running out. The next Sunday Gang show may actually come on Tuesday night, after the returns are in from Texas and Ohio.
