    Includ, of Course, Discussion of the Squid.  The host for this show is Jay Fidell.  The guest is Carl Ackerman.  


    Demand for television programming depicting Korean popular culture is steadily growing in the wake of the Korean Wave, which gave rise to worldwide interest in South Korea's cultural economy. Author and ardent devotee to K-dramas, Dr. Carl Ackerman noticed an uptick in the availability on most streaming services as a result. Longing to offer access to an even wider audience, Ackerman has penned a joyful and reverent written analysis of the movement. "Millions tune in to watch Korean entertainment daily and streaming giants, such as Netflix have started adding K-drama to its platform," Ackerman said. "It is clear that people want to watch this form of entertainment."

    The Show’s Guests comment about recent election-losing Republicans’ big win in Virginia and threatened in New Jersey.  Voters rewarded VA’s Republican candidate’s deflection of the former President while he pandered to his constituency, using lies and promises to change the state’s trajectory.  A caution is the former President may have pivoted from bullying shout-outs to more nuanced interference in the campaign.  With a year to respond, can Biden and Democrats change their currency to substantial winning.

  • What it Takes to Have a HART Quorum (Talking Tax)

    HART Board Actions May be Challenged.  The host for this show is Jay Fidell.  The guest is Tom Yamachika.  


    HART was having difficulty in mustering a quorum and gathering the necessary votes to get things passed.  The problem came up as an unintended side effect of 2017 bailout legislation that empowered the Speaker of the House and the President of the Senate to each appoint two non-voting members to the HART governing board, whether or not the rest of HART wanted them there.  It turned out that a City Charter quorum and voting provision that was incorporated by reference appeared to require eight “yes” votes for anything to pass, although there were only nine voting members.

    An eight “yes” voting requirement made it tough to get anything done, especially when voting members who weren’t able to show up were deemed to be voting “no.”

    In July, when Hoyt Zia took the chair of HART, he announced that things would be changing.  Six votes would be enough, just as it was prior to the 2017 bailout.

    Who's right?  Sen. Kurt Fevella, as a private citizen, sued to find out.
