Level E (with Eric Lemay)

Eric and Pilar talk with his dad Norm LeMay about his approach to teaching junior high art in the in the 1970s and 1980s. There are some interesting things about technique, philosophy and education. If you're an artist or educator, this is a fun hour. (A few of the historical references are clunky by Eric, so ignore them, please, with a grain of salt.)

Eric and Pilar talk to Jack Mueller about his early days in television and growing up in Milwaukee, Wisconsin.

LeMay-Marymount docent and volunteer talks about his friend, industrial designer Brooks Stevens. Consider this a bonus preview episode of a possible future Marymount podcast about art, design, cars, technology and culture. It's done in the Marymount library, so there are echoes.

Which cars do you think changed the world? Name 20 right now... This is a panel discussion from the 2019 National Association of Automobile Museums annual conference in South Bend talking about (and still debating) their answers to that question. But it's also an interesting insight into how historians, curators, and other museum professionals can collaborate to at least get a little consensus on some big questions. The audio isn't great; it was captured pretty raw in a large auditorium by Eric.  These are some of best best minds in the world of automotive history...you might be curious about what they chose and the process of getting there..

Eric kicks off opening day of baseball season with the story about when he was 10 years old and might have stolen signs the Yankees were using and MIGHT have contributed to two wins by the Mariners.

Eric talks about his time in South Bend, Indiana for the National Association of Automobile Museums annual conference hosted wonderfully by the Studebaker National Museum. This includes trying to get onto the Notre Dame Stadium grass and some observations South Bend. But the bulk of the show is a presentation by CPAs from the firm Kruggel Lawton talking about the effects of the new tax laws on non-profits and things non-profits should be thinking about as we roll through 2019.

This episode, television comedy writer Bill Daly gives some insight into how the sausage is made in the writer's room. He also talks about writing a key episode of "8 Rules for Dating My Daughter" that dealth with the death of TV icon and show star John Ritter. 

Eric and his Emerson College roommate, Bill Daly, discuss how Bill ended up in Los Angeles being a comedy TV writer. WARNING: There are some rough edits in here because they started gabbing like old women who have know each other forever. (Mostly, Eric is just happy anytime he can get Bill on the phone for an extended period...so the chatty stuff had to be edited out.)

Stacy is was one of the founding employees of the LeMay Collections at Marymount and continues as a volunteer to help the organization. This is Eric and Stacy sitting down at Marymount and just talking about travel in general, some things we've learned on road trips, and some observations along the way.

John Crye and Eric LeMay were both freshman at Emerson College ca. 1990 (Eric went to Bridgewater State College his first semester). This is just a complete outtake of when John was helping Eric learn how to capture sound over the phone when he first got his fancy new recorder. It's rough and not edited. Its just two Emersonians remembering "those days" in the Back Bay. 

John Crye talks about various ways he's experienced "do it yourself" show business. In the second, he talks about "The Elect Stories," a subscription fantasy series he's started as his own brand.  Here are some links: True Development: http://www.truedev.sharpcrye.com/ The Elect Stories: http://www.theelectstories.com/ FEWDIO’s YouTube page: https://m.youtube.com/user/Fewdiodotcom Instagram: @John.Crye Facebook: @SharpCrye

Elaine's own story is as significant as the work she does for her organization.

Eric and Jerry have known each other for more than 40 years. They grew up on the same street in Spanaway, WA. This episode is about changes, both in Spanaway and Seattle. (And this was recorded a while ago, but you can tell Eric was sensing impeding doom for Amazon on Long Island...) Not-live from The Little Park Restaurant...

A discussion about Eric's background and goals with the podcast with his wife, Pilar.

Story telling time! Eric tells about the when his parents left him home alone for a week as a pre-teen and the entire plan was for him to fly himself and meet at a specific time at a specific park at a specific ride. There was no backup plan. 

A brief introduction to Eric LeMay's "Level E" podcast with a bonus of hearing the entire bumper music of John Louviere's "Are You Listening" from his wonderful album, "The Future is Now."
