NATPE Miami 2019 outdid itself. For those who aren’t familiar with the acronym, NATPE stands for National Association of Television Programming Executives. NATPE is a Trade Show that represents the Entertainment Industry. NATPE is the global marketplace where creative, technical, and promotional ideas are shared. This is where program content is introduced, bought and sold. This is where it is decided what WE get to watch on our television screens in the future.

January 1, 1975, when Robert Kraft was 24 years old, he made a New Year’s Resolution to run eight miles every day. Now 66, he has run for more than 15,300 consecutive days and counting. His persistence and commitment over the years has attracted more than 2,600 runners from all over the world to run with him. Always shirtless, a black sweatband holding back his longish-black hair, black shorts, one black glove, and gray shoes, they dubbed him Raven. Laura Lee Huttenbach wrote a biography called “Running with Raven”.

Although we aspire to be upbeat, positive and kind, people are acting out in rude and aggressive ways towards one another. The lack of civility is becoming the acceptable norm. Center for Folk and Community Art (“CFCA”) wanted to create an awareness of this issue. So, we reached out to teenagers for their suggestions, having them use writing and art to communicate their experiences.

Stewart Stewart has a conversation with Patricia Posner (Trisha), an author/researcher, and fashionista, about her latest book, “The Pharmacist of Auschwitz”, and her relationship with her partner/husband author/researcher Gerald Posner.

Miami Beach is a relatively small town, but with big city issues. Governing the City with the intention of pleasing the locals (residents) and visitors is a complex balancing act. So, Stewart had a conversation with Miami Beach Mayor Dan Gelber to learn how he accomplishes this major task.
