  AMERICAN IDOL 
  THE ULTIMATE TRIVIA AND CURIOUS FACTS COLLECTION 
    
  CREATED BY TRIVIA HUB 
    
  American Idol is a reality singing competition created by Simon Fuller, based on the British show Pop Idol. The show aims to discover unsigned singing talent, with the winner decided by American viewers. Contestants go through a series of auditions, including initial auditions with producers, and auditions before the judges. The selected contestants then perform in Hollywood, facing eliminations until the semi-finals, when public voting determines the outcome. The show features themes for each week's performances, often with celebrity mentors. From the semi-finals onward, the fate of the contestants is decided by public vote via phone, text, and online. The show was broadcast on Fox from 2002-2016, then moved to ABC in 2018. 
    
  CURIOUS FACT SAMPLES: 
    
  American Idol was based on the British show Pop Idol, which was in turn inspired by the New Zealand television singing competition Popstars. Television producer Nigel Lythgoe saw a version in Australia and helped bring it over to Britain.  
    
  In 2001, Simon Fuller, Simon Cowell, and TV producer Simon Jones attempted to sell the Pop Idol format to the United States, but the idea was initially met with poor responses from all the television networks. However, Rupert Murdoch, head of Fox's parent company, was later persuaded to buy the series by his daughter, Elisabeth, who had seen the British show.  
    
  One change was made to the American version because of the multiple time zones in the United States. An additional half-hour results show was added the day following the performance show because it was impractical for the country to vote in the same time period.

  School of Errors: Rethinking School Safety in America establishes another voice in the discussion of how to promote safe schools. It challenges the unchecked expansion of school fortification and questions the realized benefit of inter-agency collaboration during a sentinel event. This book offers an alternative to traumatizing simulations by providing clear options for improving school safety by the empirically-proven effective measures of leakage detection (preventive) and sensemaking (reactive). School of Errors restores the scientific method to school safety and clears a path through the media rhetoric fogging this vital topic. 
  School of Errors is hailed as "the most honest book ever written about the $3 billion school safety industrial complex." 
  *This audiobook has a companion PDF document.
