The David Watson Podcast #176 Cello Player to award winning writer. Allow me to introduce Marcia Peck

Sitting down and talking to Marcia Peck I discover how she went from Cello Player to award winning writer.

A life which started by not learning the piano, which helped Marcia find the Cello, childhood memories of Cape Cod and a salt water pond as she watched her dad build their holiday home.

Ending on a high of Water Music and the great discovery of writing drafts to finally complete her book. Peck has written a moving and melodic triumph of imagination and story, a fine harmony of intimacies and passions.

What happens when a writer plays cello in a professional orchestra for her entire career? Her prose soars.

In Water Music, Marcia Peck traces one intricate, intimate melody through the symphonic complexity of a disintegrating family’s summer on Cape Cod.

Music and love are interchangeable. Here is a book worthy of reading aloud—and cherishing.

The David Watson Podcast #174 The Dalliance of Quantum Theory with the Defiance of Bell's Inequality

Frank Lad is the author of Just Plain Wrong: The Dalliance of Quantum Theory with the Defiance of Bell's Inequality.

The educated public have long been regaled with "the mysteries of quantum physics", which enshroud far-flung claims about the fundamental nature of matter. These rely on a stunning proposition of quantum theory arising in the 1960s and contested through the subsequent sixty years: that the probabilities deriving from it defy a mathematical inequality known as Bell's inequality. John Bell himself, who formulated the problem, was puzzled by the result, and surmised that in time we would discover what is wrong with its characterisation of the matter. In this book, Frank Lad claims to have identified the mathematical error that gives rise to the misunderstanding. Addressed as a challenge to the physics community, its content is accessible to any generally educated reader who is familiar with university-level concepts of linear algebra and functions of several variables. Understanding of complete mathematical detail is not required for appreciation. Largely ignored and dismissed by the scientific community of professional physicists, here is the background to the result, and the resolution to the controversy.

The David Watson Podcast #172 A different time the enemy is still the same

I Could Have Been One provides a look into the world Donald Wm. Jeffries was born into, raised, and grew up in through historical and political events of his life. We examine the world starting in the 1940s through our modern day and see how life was and what has changed. The history in which Jeffries has lived through has had a remarkable impact on his life and worldview, and we see this develop and change throughout the course of his journey. As the future comes speeding into view, with his lessons from the past we can start asking ourselves how we got here, what will become of our children's generation and their children's, and where are we headed? By beginning this discussion, we can have a better understanding of our current situation and face our realities, hopefully making better, brighter decisions for the future.

The David Watson Podcast #171 Writing from the heart so you can speak to children

Authors write for many different reasons and have many different stories to tell. Kathi is no exception, and she is. Kathi takes some of the hardest subjects form adoption to addiction. Children have questions and it's not always easy to answer them. One way to do this is through stories, and teaching lessons to children through stories is as old as time itself. Kathi's unique approach using her faith as a guide has helped her write about those difficult stories. Writing from the heart so you can speak to children is about talking to children, faith and how we communicate our fears.

Gaby Casadesus French Pianist, a romance and so much more.

Today I heard about Gaby Casadesus through her daughter Therese, and she told me memories of Albert Einstein, travelling the globe and much, much more.

Throughout the podcast the theme which keeps coming back around is the story of love.

And why not, two people who lived in Paris, played music and fell in love. What could be better than this?

Maybe the secret to their music was this love, as love can transmute into all things we do, and Therese tells the story of this love.

The David Watson Podcast #168 Prejudice, racism and tribalism

Prejudice, racism and tribalism A Primer For White People is a book written by Dr Anthony D'Agostino is it a thought provoking book or a book which provokes thought.

In a world which seems divided, do we need to pay attention to the divides and if so what are they and where did they begin.

Racial divides and tribalism are often misunderstood and labelled wrong. Not everyone is racist, but everyone is tribal and almost everyone is unaware of their tribalism.

The David Watson Podcast #167 Donald Trump What now for America?

Martin Nelson author of Children of the Dying Hearth and I discuss what now for America.

Donald Trump is set to be the President of America again, and maybe this time the media will be a little more honest about what he says and what he has done.

From misinformation to fake news. MAGA caps and all things associated to the great Donald Trump. What will happen next and will he now be able to go after the deep state and will he stop the Ukraine War.

So what now for America, will Donald Trump be the best President ever? And will he take down the corrupt institutions he claims are making enemies of him.

Can the democrats recover, and if they can how will they do it.
