Is Atlantis, the story of the fabled continent, a myth or based in fact? One of the most enduring legends of all time, Atlantis was described as a perfect society--peaceful, artistic, and technologically advanced--but it was destroyed in a cataclysm that literally drowned the continent. Could Atlantis still be waiting to be discovered? Join host Josh Bernstein as he heads to the Mediterranean Sea in search of Atlantis. Walk in the footsteps of Plato in Greece, and dive the blue waters of the Mediterranean to discover a mysterious sunken city. Equipped with state of the art technology, Josh leads an exclusive boat expedition off the coast of Crete in search of the "true" Atlantis.

I watched it, mostly because I'm really not too old, yet, to enjoy looking at a
good-looking man like Josh.......

Unfortunately, except for the Robert Sarmast (sp.?) episodes, it was more
of "same old, same old......."

A good program was (same week) MSNBC's Wed. Jan. 31 - 9/11PM Special
QUEST FOR ATLANTIS.  A great portion of it was the off Bimini and Cuba
diving of our friend Greg Little.  I'm disappointed that nobody seems to have
seen it.

Love and Peace,
Bianca

I've seen that show about four times already, Bianca. It's a shame that Josh Bernstein is leaving "Digging for the Truth!" I can't imagine it will be easy to find a replacement for him, if they even try.

Hi, Brooke

I don't think that the History Channel may be able to continue "Digging for
the Truth", unless they own the rights.  If Josh Bernsteing was producing
it independently, they can't.  If the ownership and sponsorship was theirs,
then they could continue it.

Should they be able to continue it, that would make us double winners.
We could have "Digging for the Truth" and Josh's new show........

Love and Peace,
B

PS.  I got an article on Josh from my local paper that I'll put in your other
post, as soon as my great-grandaughter goes home.  Can't do too much with
a 4-year-old underfoot (so spoiled by ME, to boot!)..........

I'm not sure if this has been posted already, nor am I sure which heading to put it under, so I'll past it under several threads.  I know I've read this article within the past couple of days, but I'm not sure where.  Could have been here somewhere!   Bianca has asked me to put this up for her.

Brooke:

You must be wondering what happened to the interview with Josh

that I promised you.  Well, in my endeavour to keep it from my

little one's hands, I hid it and I did it so well that I can't find it.

I hope I will find it, as it was very interesting, in a "mundane" sort of way....


Love and Peace,
B

Well, I finally got to see Digging for the Truth and now I know why you're on about Josh!  Very cute.  Well spoken also. No mis-pronounced words in the whole thing!  I didn't know he was leaving the show.  Does it say why?  I liked that last bit about the roofing tiles.  Leave 'em guessing!

OK, Girls, I found the article:



SUBSTANCE AND STYLE


Josh Bernstein, the host of "Digging for the Truth", has admirers on two fronts


By Stacey Stowe
New York Times



NEW YORK - A hush fell over the standing-room-only crowd at the Explorers
Club in Manhattan.  The man at the lectern had just finished talking about
his anthropological travels through almost 40 countries, across some 500,000
miles, where he recovered from food poisoning and chigger bites in Peru and
swam through shark-infested waters off Easter Island.

Any questions?

"Do you want to have children?" asked a well-groomed woman.

Not missing a beat, the lecturer, Josh Bernstein, the star of Digging for the Truth
on the History Channel, flashed his square-toothed snow-white smile and assu-
red the crowd - which included the most women ever to attend a lecture there,
the club's manager said - that yes, he would like to be a father someday and,
no, he's not dating anyone right now.

Murmurs of approval and titters of laughter followed, with more questions:
Does he intend to settle down?

"Someday, yes, absolutely." Bernstein said.

Later, clutching Bernstein's book, "Digging for the Truth" (Gotham), urban women
with thousand-dollar handbags lined up for the autograph of a man who prefers
an ice cave to a glassy penthouse.  In one program on the Holy Grail, he dons
chain mail and jousts in Southern France.  In another he chariots in Greece while
shooting a bow and arrow.

"I feel like I should touch him to see if he's real," whispered Rosina Seydel, 40, a
tall, youthful and blond real estate agent from Atlanta, who attended second
talk at the Explorers Club on March 28, a "fireside chat" for members.

Seydel was there as a guest of Tee Faircloth, an Explorers Club member who is
a friend of Bernstein's and the owner of F.M. Allen, the safari outfitter on Madi-
son Avenue.  "Could he be that good-looking and that smart and charming?"
she said, her eyes locked on Bernstein.

Yes, dear reader.  Or at least his largely female fan base thinks fo.

Bernstein, 36, is an anthropologist and Cornell graduate.  He is the host of a
program that explores mysteries like the lost cities of Atlantis and El Dorado.
He travels to location by camel or paraglider or with oxygen tanks and flippers,
sometimes braving natural disasters and parasites.

He is a member of both the Explorers, whose membership roster included Theo-
dore Roosevelt, and the Royal Geographic Society in London, where Charles
Darwin and Ernest Shackleton were members.

For two of its three seasons, Digging for the Truth was the History Channel's
No.1 series.  When his three-year contract was up, he was poached by Dis-
covery Channel, which has more viewers.  His as-yet-unnamed program, to
begin in January, will include Bernstein's usual pursuits of anthropological and
archaeological subjects, as well as another of his passions, the environment.

His program has a retro appeal: no shooting, no swearing and no provocative
babes, unless you counts wall paintings of Nefertiti.  Bernstein said: "We'd get
letters saying, "This is the only show we watch together as a family."

That's not the only response to the swashbuckling, cowboy-hatted Bernstein.

"Some women send me **** photos of themselves; yeah, and I don't mind that,"
he said, grinning as he tucked into dim sum.  "I also get the letters, some men
write and tell me we'd be the perfect couple, and that's okay.  But I just don't
play for that team."


A SIMPLE SCREEN TEST

Before all the globetrotting, Bernstein was rooted on the Upper East Side, where
 he was raised in a fairly typical upper-middle class Jewish household.

After Cornell, he returned to a Boulder, Colo., survival school he had attended as
a teen.  As the pitchman for the school, Bernstein attracted attention.  He made
a demo tape for a survival show of his own, and it led to the History Channel
hiring him in 2004.

Bernstein said he is looking for more substance in his Discovery Channel program.

"We create a tremendous amount of waste," Bernstein said.  "We're creating a
greater environmental debt that we're going to have to pay.  And that's not
sustainable, and it's highly problematic.  I hope that my new show will address
those realities".

Yes, he does think about settling down sometime, which will influence his futu-
re travels.

"When you meet the right person, you make changes," he said.

And the right person is?

"I'm attracted to tall blondes," he said laughing.  "It isn't easy to find a tall blond
Jewish girl who is interested in the environment."

Thanks for the article, Bianca!  I didn't know that the Discovery Channel had more viewers than the History Channel. Personally, I watch the History Channel a lot more!

Good luck to Josh if he is looking for a tall blonde Jewish girl with an interest in the environment! 

The new show sounds very substantative, though, and I would be interested in seeing it.

Josh's shows are out on DVD (both seasons) if anyone is interested.

Did anyone know that Josh had a twin brother?

ANDREW BERNSTEIN

Is it possible to remain happy, focused, and productive in the face of great change? And if so, how?

Andrew Bernstein began asking these questions as a teenager when several people close to him died unexpectedly. Determined to find answers, Andy spent much of the next twenty years exploring a wide variety of approaches to handling change.*

In 2004, Andy integrated his experiences into a new process. Word of mouth spread about this exciting new tool, leading to an article in Oprah's magazine, among others.


_____________________________
*Along the way, Andy spent three years working for bestselling author Byron Katie, whom he encourages people to learn more about.
   
Soon people began asking if Andy could come to their offices to help people deal with professional and personal challenges.

Andy now offers group and one-on-one training to Fortune 500 clients on his own as well as through top business schools like Wharton, where he serves on the executive education faculty. Participants say that Andy's clarity and humor make the workshops enjoyable, and that the enlightening program content fundamentally changes the way they understand stress, resilience, and change itself.

Andy lives in New York City.
