Blueprints of Disruption - (1:21) episode 1: May 26 2022: “If we're going to disrupt the system, we must make sure the movements we create are safe. In the show's premier episode, Host Jessa McLean chats with Community Activist, Noodle, to discuss how we protect ourselves and our comrades, and how doing that builds a much richer community for activists to thrive in.  Noodle provides practical tools and also deeper perspectives on what it means to keep the community we work with safe.“ The first episode of the show. Presented by Jessa McLean. “A weekly show to promote activism.” Part of New Left Media. Noodle is a Community activist and an expert in operational security. “We need activism and security.” Keep Yourself anonymous as much as you can. Using the buddy system. White shield-I hate that the sort of measures have to be taken. There are no differences between anybody in this world, just how people comprehend these things, and push that small minded comprehension onto the world in their own racist way that causes people to have to act like this. “Check with organisers to discuss how to marginalise impressive voices.” “Progress not perfection.”

When They Was Fab - (1:09) 17 April 2023: nice archive before the show music from the television special they are talking about, with narrative by Gary Davies. Intro music. This episode sees Ed and Jon looking at the Arena television special for the BBC all about the production work of George Martin. First up is news. “That’s nice!” Ringo tour dates. More info on the Beatles concert recording that’s been uncovered. Now onto the main topic. I remember watching this when it was on the television first, and it was such a great programme, although I remember it rushing and missing a lot. It’s basically showing that George Martin produced people other than the Beatles, before the Beatles, during the time of the Beatles, and afterwards. Nelly The Elephant hy Nancy Miller. The Goons. Flanders And Swan. The evolution of British comedy. Peter Sellers and Sophia Loren with goodness gracious me. Peter Cook and Dudley Moore. Richard Lester. Parlaphone records. Guildhall School of music. He was taught oboe by the mother of Jane Asher, who also appears in this documentary. Jane‘s mother that is, not Jane herself! The written score for yesterday. Ray Cathode/Doctor Who. The Vipers. “How did you become a comedy producer?” Artwork. Degas. Besmirch and Ron. Sun Arise. The brilliant song Right Said Fred by Bernard Cribbins. George cultivated his way of speaking. “pompous little prick!” RAF career. Gradual hearing loss. “Can you come back home with me?” Norrie Paramour. George Martin produced the number ones in 1963 for 37 weeks out of 52 weeks. George’s wife Judy. Beatles Christmas record outtake. ”Always looking beyond the horizon.” reverse tape. Tape strewn across the studio footage. Coloured glasses story. “produced by George Martin, overproduced by Phil Spector.” The end? He produced so many different acts in the 1970s. Jeff Beck, the Mahavishnu orchestra, America. C Train. Air Studios Montserrat. Studio on a boat. Nice footage at the end of the episode where George Martin speaks about what was done for the love project.
