The idea of the mascot came to America by way of a popular French opera from the 1880s called La Mascotte. The opera is about a down-on-his luck farmer who’s visited by a girl named Bettina; as soon as she appears, the farmer's crops start doing well and his life turns around. The word "mascotte" is a play on the French slang word "masco," meaning "witch."
Hence, "mascotte" (or the anglicized "mascot") came to mean a person or thing that brings good luck.

Mr.B's Chap-Hop Radio Hour 4

At some point in your life you’ve probably encountered a problem in the built world where the fix was obvious to you. Maybe a door that opened the wrong way, or poorly painted marker on the road. Mostly, when we see these things, we grumble on the inside, and then do nothing.

But not Richard Ankrom.

RHLSTP # 63: Stewart Lee - This Morning With Richard and Nick. Richard is joined by his erstwhile partner Stewart Lee to chat about This Morning With Richard Not Judy. Stew discovers that there was nearly a very different host, they chat about the Edinburgh Fringe genesis of the idea and how they managed to give away a car, the terrible fate of Histor and Pliny, how ice and gas played a part on the stand-up circuit and the Rod Hull sketches that never were. They are then joined by Paul 'Curious Orange' Putner and Trevor 'Small-Face' Lock to chat about the gravity behind the gravity sketch and how Mark E Smith responded to the Curious Orange. The stink of the past hangs over the occasion like a fetid cloak made of carrion.

Richard Herring's Leicester Square Theatre Podcast - Episode 63 - Stewart Lee (TMWRNJ Special)

A few months before the end of the world, everyone was saying their goodbyes.
The world that was ending was The Sims Online, an online version of The Sims. Even though The Sims was one of the most popular computer games ever made, the massively-multiplayer online version did not do well.
Despite rebranding the game as EA-Land, sales did not improve, and EA Games decided to pull the plug.

Portlanders have a tradition when visiting their airport: taking a picture of their feet. It's not to show off their shoes, but rather, what's under them. They are documenting the famous PDX airport carpet.

Julie Sabatier from Rendered has the story.

We start with an introduction to Catherine Anne Davies PhD, Simple Minds’ keyboardist, singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist, PKA as The Anchoress for her debut album out now on Kscope, ‘Confessions of a Romance Novelist’ – which is “sneaking big ideas past the listeners of daytime radio” (Q Magazine).
 
Some of the LP was co-produced and written with Mansun’s creative force Paul Draper (Catherine is currently helping Paul with his first solo album) so we’ll hear how the two met - as well as Catherine’s forthright opinions on gender in rock.
 
PLUS a track from the current album from Steven Wilson AND an update on the current Kscope artists on tour.
