Taking Creative License with Mike Casey

by Mike Casey

Small moments in our lives often create the people we become. These same small moments can ripple to become world-changing or at least life-changing. On TCL, we will dive into the lives, hearts, and minds of people in the creative arts from all over the world and discover how each feels their art may affect the lives of others. What do you have to say about creativity? Want to hear a topic discussed or an artist interviewed?  ...   ...  Read more

    Watchers in The Fourth Dimension (W4D) are an Atlanta-based podcast quartet comprising Anthony Williams, Don Smith, Reilly Schreck, and Julie Filipek. They're currently approximately one-third of their way through a watch-through and commentary of the original 1963-1989 run of popular British sci-fi series Doctor Who, and then they'll continue straight on into the movie and the 2005-present series. No small task have they taken on! They're fun, warm, funny, and enjoyable to listen to - and they're very good at the production end of their awesome show! In this episode, we discuss who they are, where they're from, and all their secrets of podcasting awesomeness. If you would like to watch through with them (I highly recommend that!), ALMOST all of the classic series of Doctor Who is on Britbox, or Pluto.tv, and many reconstructions of missing episodes can be found around on the internet or on official DVD/Blu-Ray. As always, if you would like to give me a shout, please do so at mikecaseycomposer@icloud.com, or find me on IG/FB: @mikecaseycomposer.

    My college experience was, to my knowledge, relatively unique and certainly more indicative of a small school environment. The faculty was a cast of (easily mimicked) characters, and we loved them dearly. It was a great place at a great time! One who left an indelible mark on me and my attitude towards learning was Dr. Timothy Banks. We discuss who he is, and who he was and will be, to such extent that it needn't be mentioned here. To that end, I hope you enjoy! We discuss all of the above, and his attitude toward constant reinvention, even as one enters retirement. It's a fascinating talk! Selfishly, I left in a great deal of his oral history of the School of Music at Samford University. Much of the information probably can't be found elsewhere, and for SU students, this will be a good place to keep it archived. I hope you'll forgive a bit of self-indulgence!

    Hello there! One more late one before hopefully getting back on schedule. I think you're going to dig this one - My dear friend, Zack Annesty has a lot of great credits to his name as he's moved up the ladder at Marvel Studios. He's also worked with the DC television universe and several other notable projects. He's a busy guy! Here, we talk about the path that led him to where he is now. We also dig into some of the changes that have some in the industry in terms of worker safety, and what needs to come, still. This is a huge deal to him as he moves his career forward, and he is always an advocate for the lives and safety of those on set. Lots to digest here! Enjoy it!

    Dr. Gene Fambrough is a cool dude. Period. I've met very few people who have such a come-one-come-all vibe. He’s in his 21st(!!!) year as Percussion Boss and Assistant Band Director at The University of Alabama-Birmingham. His program is a huge asset to the university! His story, for this telling, is a story of a budding young musician who just liked to try things who then grew up to inspire others to do the same. You host, included! I know you'll enjoy the talk! Have a great week, and thank you for just your being you! 143 a tutti! As always, please share, like, subscribe...all the usuals!
