Chris has 30 years' experience across the social care and criminal justice systems. Chris originally trained as a social worker and probation officer, establishing Nottingham’s first multi-agency Youth Offending Team) and policy (as Head of Performance at the Youth Justice Board).

Chris has long advocated the need for radical reform of a wide range of public services. Under his leadership, Catch22 has not only delivered significant frontline impact, but has grown its work supporting others to transform their services; from advising government behind closed doors through to supporting and investing in big ideas and small delivery charities.

Ladies and Gentlemen, it's that time once again. The Heroes of Noise have returned with Episode 69 and we appreciate your patience as we are a little tardy this week. We'd like to welcome any new listeners that came over from Scene-It Cast and Pop Culture Leftovers. We'd also like to thank the aforementioned podcasts for having us on their shows last week. We had an absolute blast. If you'd like to hear those episodes and also subscribe to a couple of great podcasts, we'll include links below.

At the top of the show we talk a little this and that and then spend some time going over listener mail. This inspires another round of "Star or Superstar" where we make the call on whether or not a particular celebrity should be considered a star or...you guessed it..  A superstar.

Here's what we've watched and talk about this week:

• We spend a little time talking about the Game of Thrones series finale and although this is a quick segment, we pull no punches.
• Steve has seen Fleabag and gives his first impressions on a show recommend by our friend Melissa Sloter from the Wild Pretty Things Podcast as well as the Winter Is Here Podcasts
• Dan has seen See You Yesterday (Netflix), Catch-22 (Hulu),and Bonding (Netflix). He's also watched  2015's Kung Fury, a crowdfunded movie that has achieved cult status and also has a sequel coming starring Arnold Schwarzenegger and Michael Fassbender. Click the link below if you want to experience the greatness.
• We both discuss HBO's Cherynobl, which tells the story of the 1986 reactor meltdown in the Ukraine. 

So that's whole bunch to read. What do you say we just get to the show? Sound good? Cool, but make sure you check the rest of the info below. Talk to you next week!

This week, Swanson, Kiorein and Stairmaster discuss the return of All That and the rebranding of the Travel Channel. Then, the boys watch the trailer for Hulu's Catch-22 and discuss circular logic.

Hawkeye Pierce, Milo Minderbinder, and Nog.

In a series celebrated for its long-form serialized storytelling, Deep Space Nine’s young Ferengi Nog enjoyed one of Star Trek’s most satisfying character arcs, going from illiterate juvenile delinquent to Starfleet officer on the fast track to command. But as much as the character transcended the venal, self-serving qualities which typically characterized the Ferengi, he never lost his natural business acumen. Two episodes in particular, “In the Cards” and “Treachery, Faith, and the Great River,” put Nog in the role of the wheeler-dealer, exploiting his bemused “customers” with ease and managing an absurdly intricate system of trades.

In this episode of Primitive Culture, host Duncan Barrett is joined by Justin Oser of Earl Grey to look at two of the major influences on these DS9 episodes: the 1970s US television series MASH and American author Joseph Heller’s satirical novel Catch-22. Together, they consider how the classic Star Trek ethos reconfigures the more pessimistic structures of its source material, the boundaries of comedy and drama in the grim context of war, and why we can’t help loving a rogue, even—perhaps especially—when they’re in uniform.

Jim Gregory, marketing expert, explains how marketers are caught in a Catch 22 situation: they know the tremendous value of branding but face a gap created by generally accepted accounting practices (GAAP) that simply don’t take this into consideration. Much has dramatically changed in the concepts and methods of valuation since 1975, but accounting methods have not kept up. A leading expert on measuring the power of corporate brands and their impact on financial performance, Jim has written five books on branding, including Powerhouse – The Secrets of Corporate Branding.

This episode stars Joseph Bates (Tomorrowland). It was recorded driving along 94 East somewhere between Milwaukee, WI and Chicago, IL in January 2014.
