Tim Mohr

Listen to "Tim Mohr Releases Burning Down The Haus" on Spreaker. In BURNING DOWN THE HAUS: Punk Rock, Revolution, and the Fall of the Berlin Wall, renowned music journalist and award-winning German-language translator Tim Mohr brilliantly captures this historic moment. Telling the little-known story of a group of East German kids who rebelled and helped set the world on fire, Mohr takes readers on a fascinating trip through the 1980s. Rejecting the dismal, pre-ordained futures that the state tried to impose on them, these teenagers embraced punk—the aesthetic, the music, the liberating feeling of collective anarchy—and defied the dictatorship. Banding together, they faced down surveillance, repression, beatings, and even imprisonment as they fought to create and control their own, individual futures. Beginning in earnest in the late 1970s, a handful of young people who had lived in the oppressive shadow of the Berlin Wall their entire lives caught snatches of punk music on forbidden British military radio broadcasts, and they began to question authority, daring to dress differently and criticize the government. Living in squats, hassled in the streets, and relentlessly pursued by the Stasi—the legendary East German secret police—these kids would not be deterred in their pursuit of punk. “All the antagonism drew the little gang of punks closer together,” Mohr writes. “Like the British band Sham 69 sang: If the kids are united, they will never be divided.” The movement grew in size and ferocity throughout the 1980s. “They raged against the system, out loud, publicly,” writes Mohr, until the Wall finally came down in 1989. Although the future remained in limbo at that point, one thing was certain—the punks had played an indispensable role in bringing down a postwar empire. Mohr, who arrived in Berlin in 1992 and discovered a netherworld of dark and dirty clubs in derelict buildings, learned the secret history of punk rock under the dictatorship from those who had lived it, and he fell in love with the world they had created. Writing with the keen eye for observation and the narrative grace of a novelist, he resurrects this all-but-forgotten story with insight and cinematic urgency. Timely and resonant, Mohr’s incredibly accomplished first book, BURNING DOWN THE HAUS, is a testament to the essential power of youthful protest in the face of authority.

Activation

Listen to "Activation" on Spreaker. The little things always open our eyes. My friend Todd recently celebrated his 20th wedding anniversary. Without too much thought I jotted down a note and sent it to him, "I truly enjoyed watching the two of you grow in love." Such an Arroe-ism. Watching you grow in love? It got me to think about the many things that each of us grow into. Radio people might showcase a few broadcasting skills when they first jump into the industry but it's a huge growing process. Learning to locate the right voice, timing and pace is a journey all its own. Growing into what we do is the subject on this podcast. We are students of the everyday. How many of us take physical notes? I don't write to right. I write so that others may one day do the same. Another Arroe-ism. I daily journal. I didn't know that one day keeping such tossed out thoughts would physically serve as lessons to build upon. No matter where your storm arrives, it carries with it a voice that will be required on a day you least expect sometimes 20 years into your chapters. Your shape was created by a need to be accepted and or a boss that commands you to make progress a money making entity. But who are you really? How much of your life is a physical act of Hidden Speak? You say things because its what others want and need from your present place.

There are more than 143 million Google entries for the word "ghost," over 32 million results for "ghost photo," and according to the Harris Poll, around 40-45 percent of the U.S. population believes they exist. If you believe in ghosts, you're not alone. Welcome to Julie Rieger's world! The Ghost Photographer: A Hollywood Executive's True Story of Discovering the Real World of Make-Believe (Simon & Schuster/ Atria/Enliven Books, October 9, 2018, Hardcover), by Julie Rieger, is an inspirational, hilarious, provocative, insightful and occasionally heartbreaking memoir, told with uncensored Southern wit and guidance, that recounts the story of a Hollywood film executive who after experiencing the devastating loss of her mother experiences an unexpected journey through the cosmic wilderness and, to her own amazement, discovers her psychic superpowers that radically transform her life. "I fell in love with Julie and her journey and you will, too. I know a real story when I feel it, and this is authentic and funny. For those of us who've had similar experiences, this book will make you smile all the way through. For those of us who haven't, welcome. Get ready for your life to be changed." - Dannion Brinkley, international and New York Times bestselling author of Saved by the Light and Secrets of the Light "Julie reveals how she handled her loss to create post-traumatic growth by being open to some new and, for the uninitiated, entertainingly bizarre encounters. Even if you think ghosts are figments of the imagination, you'll feel better after reading and laughing along with The Ghost Photographer. And even the skeptics among you will probably buy a little sage, just in case." - Pamela DF Rutledge, PhD MBA, psychologist, social scientist, and author of Exploring Positive Psychology This isn't your typical supernatural tale, like you see in the movies Julie markets. It's an adventure, a thriller, and a comedy! As a senior executive at one of the world's largest movie studios, Julie Rieger spent her days marketing the imaginary stories of ghosts, faeries, superheroes, aliens, and more fantastical creatures. But after her mother passed away the world of make-believe became reality when Julie captured her first ghost in a photograph and blew open a door to the Other Side. The Ghost Photographer chronicles Julie's wild ride down the spiritual rabbit hole. After a series of mind-blowing, and sometimes frightening encounters with the spirit realm, Julie was forced to face this strange awakening, flying in the face of scientific dogma and her own die-hard skepticism. Ultimately, she discovered that it was through suffering the loss of her mother's unconditional love that her world opened up and she became able to connect with the world in ways she now cherishes. Her fears have evaporated and she feels at home whenever she ventures! Julie's tales of supernatural powers are refreshing and exciting, and show the reader how we, too, can benefit and learn from our own grieving. Her journey juxtaposes her down-home roots in rural America with the glam of Hollywood and her professional universe of hard, empirical data. As she fine-tunes her psychic abilities and comes to terms with the transformative power of grief, Julie is empowered to fearlessly tell her story and invite others to share their own experiences of the paranormal and unexplained. She offers insights into our relationship with the spirit world, prayers and rituals for cleansing and protecting our homes from unwanted ghosts, and guidance on how to develop our intuition and sixth sense. For any readers who have already encountered a taste of the spiritual realm - as so many of us have - this book provides validation, and for those of us who haven't, it's an irresistible invitation to plunge into your own fascinating journey.
