C'est un grand esprit du siècle qui nous a quittés ce 29 mai 2026 à l'âge de 104 ans. Sociologue, philosophe, humaniste, reconnu dans le monde entier, Edgar Morin, Docteur honoris causa de trente-huit universités à travers le monde, refusa toute sa vie l'enfermement dans une quelconque chapelle, développant au fil de sa vie une pensée décloisonnée et innovante. Connu comme le philosophe de la pensée complexe, Edgar Morin aura inlassablement tenté de faire dialoguer les savoirs, les arts, la science, la politique et la philosophie dans une démarche éclectique, en rupture avec la pensée cartésienne et réductrice.

BONUS S6E7 8 retail trends for 2026 including AI-assisted shoppers, why people are the new luxury, and the grey swans most retailers are ignoringCasey Golden and Ricardo Belmar spent two days at The Lead Summit in New York City with the operators, founders, and analysts actually running retail right now, and they walked out with a clear read on the retail trends 2026 will be built on. Instead of a session-by-session recap, this bonus episode pulls out the eight cross-cutting themes that showed up no matter whose stage they were on, from Anthropologie and Talbots to Hey Dude, Olaplex, Loop, and Coterie.The headline: every AI experiment built to replace people was a failure story, and every one built to extend people was a winner. From there the conversation runs through the rewired store, the rise of the AI-assisted shopper, why human connection is becoming the new luxury, and the grey swan events most retailers can see coming but refuse to plan for. If you want the retail trends 2026 leaders are quietly betting on, plus what to do about it Monday morning, this is the episode.In This Episode, You'll Learn• Why AI augmentation beats AI replacement, and the customer service "40% ticket deflection" stat that fell apart under real measurement• How the AI-assisted shopper is already changing product discovery, and why generative engine optimization (GEO) is getting 80% of the attention on 5% of the traffic• Why "people are the new luxury" may be the one theme still defining retail trends 2026 a year from now• What Talbots' 35-of-100 transactions stat says about store KPIs beyond sales per square foot• How community beat audience for breakout brands, and why your brand story now has to teach the LLMs who you are• The grey swans hiding in plain sight: GLP-1, the aging of America, and single-geography supply chain risk• The Monday-morning move to make before the AI-assisted shopper takes a bigger bite of your holiday trafficNotable Moments & Quotes• "AI won't sit down and have a cigarette with me." The line that summed up why people still matter.• "Listening is a capability, but hearing is a skill."• Rainbow Shops: a vendor's 40% ticket deflection collapsed because customers just hung up and called back for a human.• Talbots' Concierge clienteling went from reaching 300,000 of 750,000 eligible customers to all of them, while keeping the calls human. AI does the volume, people do the moments.• Loop Earplugs grew from $1M to $250M in five years, obsessing over one question: where did you first hear about us?• MoMA Design Store: "We're not Amazon, and we don't want to be."• Randa Apparel's grey swans: GLP-1 (roughly 8M users today, potentially 100M by 2030), more Americans over 65 than under 18 by 2028, and the warning that "a business built around a single geography isn't lean, it's exposed."Subscribe & FollowIf you enjoyed this episode, please leave us a 5‑star rating and review on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or Goodpods.

Ein kirchliches Schreiben zur KI klingt erst einmal nach Pflichtlektüre für Insider – doch genau das ist diese Folge nicht. Manuel und Stephan diskutieren in «Ausgeglaubt», warum sich der Blick auf diesen Text lohnt und welche Fragen darin stecken. Der Papst schreibt seine Enzyklika «Magnifica Humanitas» nicht nur für Katholikinnen und Katholiken, sondern ausdrücklich für alle Menschen guten Willens. Das hat gereicht, damit wir uns angesprochen fühlen. In dieser Folge nehmen Manuel und Stephan die neue Enzyklika von Leo XIV. zur künstlichen Intelligenz unter die Lupe. Und sie stellen fest: Hier spricht nicht einfach kulturpessimistische Technikangst, sondern ein ernsthafter Versuch, über Menschenwürde, Verantwortung, Wahrheit, Macht und die Zukunft des Menschlichen im digitalen Zeitalter nachzudenken. Wir sprechen darüber, warum viele Gedanken der Enzyklika erstaunlich klug und anschlussfähig sind – etwa die Warnung vor technokratischer Macht, die Kritik an einem Menschenbild der permanenten Optimierung oder die Frage, was geschieht, wenn moralische Entscheidungen zunehmend an Maschinen delegiert werden. Gleichzeitig fragen wir, wo die Argumentation zu pauschal wird, ob hier ein allzu schlichter Gegensatz zwischen Mensch und Maschine aufgebaut wird und wie überzeugend kirchliche Anthropologie als Antwort auf die KI-Revolution tatsächlich ist. Eine Folge über einen Papst, der sich in die KI-Debatte einmischt, über überraschende ökumenische Zustimmung und produktiven Widerspruch – und über die Frage, was Menschen guten Willens der Maschine eigentlich entgegenhalten können. Im Halleluja der Woche geht es gleich doppelt himmlisch zu: um einen ungeplant grossartigen Abend, der mit Tanzmusik und viel Freude erst in den frühen Morgenstunden endete – und um den schlichten Zauber, durch ein Teleskop in den Sternenhimmel zu schauen.
Freiheit gehört zu den zentralen Kategorien neuzeitlichen Denkens – und zugleich zu den umstrittensten Begriffen in der theologischen Anthropologie. In dieser Folge gehen wir der Frage nach, wie christlicher Glaube und Freiheit zusammengedacht werden können: nicht als Gegensatz, sondern als innere Einheit.

Subscribe to DTC Newsletter - https://dtcnews.link/signupKatie Sturino built Megababe with 60,000 followers, two co-founders who'd never had chafe, and an MOQ of 20,000 units stacked in her parents' garage. Eight years later it's profitable, in Target, Walmart, CVS, Nordstrom, Anthropologie, and on Amazon. Never raised a dollar. Never grew less than 33% year over year.In this episode Katie walks through how she built a category that didn't exist. Manufacturers didn't know what chafe was. Press didn't know what chafe was. The Today Show hit on June 30, 2017 and they sold out every unit by July 1. Then the real work started.Inside: why retail is when the grind begins (not when you've made it), why she still ranks "people just dealing with it" as her biggest competitor, the husband-given marketing fix that solved deodorant aisle confusion in one sticker, the accidental Amazon Super Bowl ad placement, why their hemorrhoid product is a top seller on Amazon, and the moment her sister convinced her soap was worth doing.Plus the new "I'm Not Fine Index" campaign, why NYC taxi ads outperform every digital channel they run, and the one piece of advice Katie has for anyone shipping a product in 2026.Catch the DTC and Pilothouse crew at The Whalies May 19 in LA.Timestamps:0:00 Building a brand around chafe2:58 How Megababe started11:00 Selling out after the Today Show14:10 Retail growth at Target and Walmart20:05 Why Megababe started advertising27:10 Building a real brand voiceSubscribe to DTC Newsletter - https://dtcnews.link/signupAdvertise on DTC - https://dtcnews.link/advertiseWork with Pilothouse - https://dtcnews.link/pilothouseFollow us on Instagram & Twitter - @dtcnewsletterWatch this interview on YouTube - https://dtcnews.link/video
Le chamanisme est probablement la plus ancienne pratique du sacré et des mouvements de la conscience que l'homme ait développé. Absolument toutes les cultures et civilisations les plus anciennes connues ont laissé des traces évidentes de comportements chamaniques. L'expérience des états de conscience non ordinaires pour communiquer avec l'invisible ou pratiquer des soins, réclame la maîtrise des voyages de l'âme.Conférence par Fernand Schwarz, anthropologue, philosophe, écrivain, fondateur de Nouvelle Acropole en France, enregistré à l'ancienne Abbaye de la Cour Pétral le 2 mai 2026.Abonnez-vous gratuitement à notre newsletter philosophique :www.revue-acropolis.comSaviez-vous que Nouvelle Acropole est réalisée à 100% par des bénévoles ?

Sara Garza, owner of Proud Mary Boutique, joined us for a conversation that felt honest, creative, and really personal.Her love for fashion started young, shopping with her mom and sisters, and grew into something more through over a decade working in retail at places like Fabled and Anthropologie. That experience shaped not just her style, but how she connects with people.Proud Mary was born out of a desire to create something Waco didn't quite have yet. A space that feels thoughtful, approachable, and inspiring.Sara offers a place for women to feel encouraged when they are at their most vulnerable. Getting dressed is more personal than people think, and she meets women in that moment with care, intention, and creativity.We talked about taking the leap into ownership, building something meaningful, and why shopping local matters more than ever.

Manger relève de l'universel et de l'intime. Nos façons de nous nourrir, de cuisiner, de partager ou pas et comment, les lieux où l'on mange, assis, debout, avec des couverts ou les mains : chaque geste, chaque habitude est un indice pour mieux comprendre le monde et ceux qui nous entourent. Universel, vital et quotidien Le fait de « passer à table » permet de comprendre ce que les mots ne disent pas toujours, révèle ce qui se joue sans qu'on y pense, au travers notamment de ce que l'on mange, pour échanger aussi quand personne ne parle la même langue. Notre invitée, l'anthropologue Gaëlle Ronsin aime noter ces moments de repas, les recettes choisies pour être partagées, l'ambiance qui se dégage : cette observation apporte un regard complémentaire à son travail de recherche sur la relation entre l'homme et la nature, sur la manière dont l'action publique est façonnée et pensée, dans un contexte environnemental de crise écologique. Histoires de terrains Les archéologues, les anthropologues, les sociologues et les journalistes ont en commun le « terrain », un travail d'observation et d'intégration. Sur un terrain, explique Gaëlle Ronsin, l'anthropologue met tous ses sens en éveil, pour écouter les gens, regarder ce qu'ils font et goûter ce qu'ils mangent. Parfois un simple casse-croûte, et il arrive - c'est ce que je préfère - que l'on m'invite à prolonger la discussion autour d'un repas – La cuisine permet d'intégrer le groupe, d'en faire partie, de voir des détails, de petites choses qui permettent aussi d'éclairer des mécanismes plus globaux. La durée du terrain constitue la différence majeure entre les terrains des journalistes et ceux des anthropologues qui peuvent rester plusieurs mois, même des années avec une communauté. Des carnets de notes Les carnets sont des outils de travail essentiels au travail de l'anthropologue. Les habitudes, les cas, leur répétition, les observations, tout y est noté, il peut y avoir plusieurs carnets, par thème selon son domaine de recherche et ses habitudes de travail. Dans cette émission, il est question aussi de viande de phoque au Québec, des Kours à La Réunion, de plantes médicinales et de savoir-faire traditionnels, de pêche en Bretagne, de dauphins, de gâteaux nantais colonial, de gamelles de riz pour nourrir 100 zadistes, de la maternité comme terrain d'observation, de pommes de terre et de la ferme familiale. Avec Gaëlle Ronsin, anthropologue, maîtresse de conférence en Sociologie, et en Anthropologie, chercheuse à l'ENS (École normale supérieure), elle est l'autrice de « Ajoute un couvert pour l'anthropologue », aux éditions de l'Epure. La cuisine et le fait de manger donnent à voir, permettent de passer par des anecdotes, des récits personnels, de parler vrai presque sans en avoir l'air.

On imagine souvent une sorcière comme une femme sur un balai, avec un chapeau pointu et un rire un peu effrayant. Pendant longtemps, cette image était liée au mal, à la folie ou à l'ignorance. Mais aujourd'hui, cette image change. Des femmes, comme des militantes ou des chercheuses, utilisent la figure de la sorcière pour raconter une autre histoire : celles de femmes fortes, qui ont des connaissances, qui soignent et qui refusent de suivre les règles imposées. Comment est-on passé des chasses aux sorcières d'autrefois à un symbole féministe aujourd'hui ? Que signifie se dire soi-même « sorcière » pour se battre, protester et inventer de nouvelles façons de vivre ? Que racontent ces nouvelles sorcières sur le rapport au corps, au pouvoir et aux normes ? Avec : • Christelle Taraud, historienne, spécialiste de l'histoire des femmes, du genre et des sexualités, autrice de Les Filles-au-Diable : Retrouver les « sorcières » de Steilneset (1620-2022) (Éditions La Découverte - Cahiers libres 8 Janvier 2026) • Catherine Dumont-Lévesque, historienne, militante féministe, spécialiste de l'histoire des femmes et de la sexualité au Québec, autrice de Anthropologie des sorcières contemporaines - identités, valeurs, intentions, rituels...

L'effet placebo désigne le mécanisme qui peut se produire dans le cerveau lorsqu'un patient reçoit un traitement sans principe actif et qu'il se sent mieux. Bien que le corps n'ait pas reçu de molécule censée guérir le mal visé, le cerveau peut envoyer un message contraire et libérer des hormones comme des endorphines et du cortisol, agissant sur la douleur et le stress et ce même si le patient est informé de la démarche. Dans quels cadres l'effet placebo est-il utilisé en médecine ? Quelles sont ses limites ? Certaines personnes réagissent-elles davantage que d'autres ? En médecine, les traitements sont évalués pour en mesurer l'efficacité, comme les possibles effets indésirables et déterminer la dose. Au cours des différentes phases des essais cliniques, la méthode scientifique implique de comparer le médicament innovant à un placebo. S'intéresser au placebo ou à l'effet placebo en cernant les mécanismes déclenchés par le cerveau pour améliorer l'état du patient permet de comprendre pourquoi et comment un traitement fictif ou dénué de principe actif peut soulager réellement une douleur ou d'atténuer la fatigue. Il est question de psychologie, mais pas seulement, car imagerie médicale à l'appui, il est désormais possible d'observer comment s'opère ce processus d'amélioration neurophysiologique, d'identifier ses effets bénéfiques pour l'organisme sans substance chimiquement curative. Des effets mesurables, y compris lorsque le patient est informé de la nature du traitement, en toute transparence, en écartant la dimension de dissimulation qui peut poser problème sur le plan de l'éthique médicale. Rituel thérapeutique, réponse cérébrale : l'effet placebo va également dépendre de la relation établie avec le soignant comme avec la substance, de soins prodigués : du degré de confiance, ou à l'inverse, une appréhension ou d'une défiance qui peut entraîner la réaction inverse : une dégradation par le biais de l'effet nocebo.

D'ici 2050, l'Afrique comptera 1,4 milliard de citadins. Un exode qui transforme bien plus que les villes : nouveaux rythmes, alimentation bouleversée, corps et normes sociales réinventés. Entre pression urbaine et influence des réseaux sociaux, comment nos corps vivent ces mutations ? À l'échelle mondiale, 45% de la population vit en ville, selon les Nations unies. La tendance est à l'urbanisation, et c'est sur le continent africain qu'elle se fait le plus rapidement. Selon un rapport de la Banque africaine de développement, les villes devraient absorber 80% de la croissance démographique en Afrique et passer de 700 millions à 1,4 milliard d'habitants d'ici 2050. Les conséquences se font à différents niveaux, en termes d'infrastructures, de mobilité, d'emploi, de logement, d'environnement... Mais vivre en ville bouleverse aussi nos modes de vie. Quitter la campagne, c'est exercer un travail différent, s'extraire du regard familial, manger autrement, autre chose, bouger différemment... Tous ces changements transforment les habitudes alimentaires, les corps mais aussi les représentations sociales d'un corps beau et sain. L'arrivée des réseaux sociaux et leurs contenus consacrés aux régimes, au sport ou à la beauté participent aussi à ces mutations.

Seit einem Vierteljahrhundert untersuchen Forschende im Leipziger Zoo das Denken und Verhalten unserer nächsten Verwandten. Im sogenannten Pongoland leben Gorillas, Schimpansen, Gorillas und Bonobos gemeinsam wie nirgends sonst in Europa. Und dass die Affen uns sehr nah sind, zeigen Forschende mit modernen Methoden wie Eye-Tracking und virtuellen Tests.

Today's guest has built one of Charlotte's most beloved “shop local” destinations by turning a little bungalow in Plaza Midwood into a treasure hunt of vintage‑inspired gifts, home decor, and local makers. Michelle Castelloe is the owner and operator of Moxie Mercantile, a community‑centric, curated gift boutique that has grown from its original Commonwealth Avenue shop into multiple locations in the Charlotte region. Michelle launched Moxie after a 14‑year career as a Brand Director with Anthropologie, bringing a corporate retail skill set to a business that blends soul, style, and substance. She's passionate about building community, championing artists and small makers, and using retail as a vehicle for philanthropy—what she calls “retail for purpose”—so that every purchase can help give back to causes she cares about. Michelle, welcome to The BrandBuilders Podcast.
Amy and Blake are not officially “together,” but for the past few weeks they have been seeing each other after first meeting at a bar. Amy tells us that while things seemed great at first, she has started to feel like she might be the “other woman” in Blake’s life. When Amy went over to Blake’s place this past weekend she noticed that everything seemed like it came from Anthropologie and she knows there is no way Blake would know how to decorate like that. Amy asks for our help just so she isn’t wasting her time who is already committed to someone else. We call Blake pretending to send him a free bouquet of flowers and when we ask him who he wants to send them to, Blake asks if they can be sent to his girlfriend Kat.

She launched in November 2019, just months before a global pandemic turned puzzles into the hottest product on the internet. She landed in Anthropologie before COVID hit, struck a deal with Mark Cuban on Shark Tank, and built a three-channel business with a team of three.But here's what makes Kaylin's story so compelling for every woman startup founder listening: she did almost all of it without a marketing budget, without paid ads, and without a playbook.

Episode SummaryWhat if the best part of your next trip isn't on any "Top 10" list? In this episode, Marisa and Sara make the case for neighborhood-first travel — ditching the tourist traps and leaning into the quirky, culturally rich pockets that give a city its real soul.What We CoverWhy "landmark-first" travel is holding you back — and what to do insteadThe do's and don'ts of wandering — how to bake unstructured time into your trip without getting lost (literally and figuratively)The sociology of quirky neighborhoods — why artists, creatives, and culture tend to cluster in the same kinds of placesAre hidden gems going mainstream? — the gentrification question nobody wants to askNeighborhood Spotlights
What if the thing you need most right now isn't more information, more productivity, or a better system — but community? In this episode of Don't Cut Your Own Bangs, I sit down with Sarah Harker, Chief Growth Officer of The City Moms, for a conversation about motherhood, mental load, burnout, risk-taking, friendship, and the kind of support that makes life feel a little lighter. Sarah's story begins in a place I think a lot of women will recognize: a season where life isn't exactly wrong, but it also doesn't feel quite right anymore. Before helping grow a national community for moms, Sarah spent 10 years working as a cardiac nurse and hospital administrator. Over time, she realized she was becoming just as invested in the well-being of the people she worked alongside as she was in the patients she cared for. That curiosity led her toward entrepreneurship, leadership coaching, and eventually to a dinner party where she met City Moms founder Janine Bobmeyer over a shared Anthropologie dress and an honest conversation about isolation. What followed was the beginning of a friendship, a business partnership, and a bigger vision for helping moms feel more connected, supported, and less alone. This conversation is honest, funny, and practical. It also has a very real-life-mom-energy feel in video form — including an interruption from Sarah's son's school and a quick pivot before another broadcast interview. In other words: it's polished and delightfully real. Be sure to follow along on YouTube too. In this episode, we talk about: Burnout, motherhood, and the mental load women carry Sarah's path from cardiac nursing to entrepreneurship The origin story of her partnership with The City Moms Why community matters more than perfection How growth gets easier when you stop trying to do it all alone A few standout lines from this episode: "Anytime I think someone is too busy, it's like God's laughing." "Motherhood wasn't meant to be done alone." "I just have to work a little harder — I think that's such a lie, especially for women and moms." "There's plenty of room for everybody." "What's draining you? What can be delegated?" Why this conversation matters What I love about Sarah — and about The City Moms — is that the mission doesn't feel performative. It feels practical, generous, and deeply rooted in real life. This isn't about being the perfect mom, doing more, or finding the one magical system that fixes everything. It's about making life more supported and more connected. And honestly? I think we need a lot more of that.

What happens when a university mascot gets more than just a costume upgrade? In this episode of Talking Tactics, we unpack how a strategic mascot rebrand can fuel enrollment marketing, drive retail revenue, and build real campus tradition. From trademark governance to ESPN-level exposure, this isn't fluff — it's brand strategy with fur. If you think mascots are just for game day, think again. Guest Names: Megan Nash Milligan, Brand Marketing Strategist, Loyola Marymount University Stephanie Teresi, Associate Director, Trademarks, Licensing, and Promotional Assets, Loyola Marymount University Guest Socials: Megan: https://www.linkedin.com/in/megan-nash-milligan/ Stephanie: https://www.linkedin.com/in/snwert/ Guest Bios: Megan Nash Milligan is the Brand Marketing Strategist at LMU, where she leads integrated marketing planning and cross-functional rollout of key brand initiatives. A proud LMU alum, she earned her M.A. in Educational Studies while competing as a beach volleyball student-athlete & leading the team to their first conference championship. Before returning to LMU, Megan managed marketing and operations in the real estate industry, overseeing full-scale campaigns and a company rebrand. Originally from Toronto, Megan now calls Los Angeles home—where she tries new food across the city, plays beach volleyball, and spends too much time with her two dogs! Steph Teresi runs LMU's trademark licensing game—protecting, promoting, and powering up the university brand across merch, apparel, and swag. As LMU's first full-time licensing lead, she's built policies and partnerships with the goal to boost LMU pride and make our gear easier to find (and love). Pre-LMU, Steph repped over 100 East Coast schools at Campus Stop and designed store displays at Anthropologie. A proud University of Delaware grad with a BFA in visual communications (go Blue Hens!), she now calls Culver City home—where she cheers on the Eagles, spoils two bernedoodles, and paints watercolor masterpieces at the kitchen table. - - - -Connect With Our Host:Safaniya Stevensonhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/safaniyastevenson/ About The Enrollify Podcast Network:Talking Tactics is a part of the Enrollify Podcast Network.

For many retail brands, growth today isn't just about innovation — it's about keeping pace with customers whose expectations are evolving in real time, led by younger generations who expect brands to reflect their values and show up with cultural relevance. In fact, recent research from MG2 found that the overwhelming majority of Gen Z shoppers say they shop with their values in mind. For founder-led brands entering new phases of growth, the challenge isn't just expansion — it's scaling without losing the soul that made customers care in the first place.So how does a founder-led, design-driven home brand expand its reach, embrace new channels and technologies, and engage younger consumers—while staying unmistakably true to its creative DNA?Welcome to Retail Refined. In the latest episode, host Melissa Gonzalez sits down with Mary Beth Sheridan, recently named President of Jonathan Adler, to explore what leading brand evolution looks like at a pivotal moment for the company. Sheridan discusses strengthening the core business, expanding wholesale and partnerships, activating the brand's interior design studio, and leveraging AI—while protecting the bold, witty, and joyful identity that defines Jonathan Adler.The conversation delves into…Balancing founder-led creativity with operational discipline to scale sustainably.Unlocking growth through wholesale expansion, strategic partnerships, and a robust design studio.Engaging Gen Z and Gen Alpha by fostering authenticity, community, and meaningful participation.Mary Beth Sheridan is a C-suite retail executive and global merchant with more than two decades of experience leading large-scale brand transformation, P&L management, and omni-channel growth across iconic retailers, including Anthropologie, Macy's, Lord & Taylor, and The Children's Place. She has led large-scale, high-growth retail businesses, repositioned legacy brands, launched new categories, modernized digital and merchandising strategies, and successfully navigated private equity transitions while driving profitability and cultural transformation. Currently serving as President of Jonathan Adler, she oversees brand, product, and commercial strategy across retail, e-commerce, wholesale, and B2B, leading the design-driven brand's next phase of growth and innovation.

Radio Totchka, c'était la voix du pouvoir, dont la présence sonore s'imposait aux Bulgares dans leur espace privé, mais aussi dans leur espace public, puisque les programmes étaient diffusés dans la rue par des haut-parleurs, mais aussi à la mairie, à la poste, ou encore à l'usine ! Une radio dont la mémoire sonore réactive à la fois les bons et les mauvais souvenirs d'un monde communiste aujourd'hui disparu. Dans le premier épisode, nous avions suivi les tribulations de l'ethnologue Olivier Givre et du créateur sonore Raphaël Cordray à la recherche de Radio Totchka, petit haut-parleur en plastique importé d'URSS et placé dans les murs des habitations, dont les Bulgares ne pouvaient pas changer la station ! Entre information, musique et propagande, les programmes de Radio Totchka ont marqué plusieurs générations de Bulgares jusqu'à la fin des années 80, la chute du mur de Berlin, l'effondrement de l'Union soviétique et la fin du régime communiste dans leur pays devenu la Bulgarie, aujourd'hui intégrée à l'Europe et à la zone euro. Dans ce second épisode, nous retrouvons l'ethnologue Olivier Givre et le créateur sonore Raphaël Cordray en Bulgarie à la recherche des anciens animateurs de Radio Totchka, dans l'espoir de retrouver des archives radiophoniques non conservées par l'État. Comment étaient fabriqués les programmes de Radio Totchka, depuis les années 40 jusqu'au fameux « changement » du 9 novembre 1989, date de la chute du mur de Berlin et de l'effondrement du bloc communiste… Olivier Givre est maître de conférences en Anthropologie à l'Université Lumière Lyon 2 depuis 2007. Ses travaux concernent principalement l'Europe orientale et les Balkans, et portent sur trois thématiques : les processus patrimoniaux et mémoriels, les dynamiques frontalières et transfrontalières, les recompositions rituelles et religieuses. Plus récemment, il engage une série de travaux sur les approches sensorielles et la recherche-création.

Tori shares her incredible journey from working on the opening team of Anthropologie to launching her own lifestyle boutique and fragrance line.

Radio Totchka ! J'imagine que tout comme moi, vous n'en avez jamais entendu parler… et pourtant, ce petit poste de radio a accompagné la vie quotidienne de millions de femmes, d'hommes et d'enfants qui ont grandi dans ce que l'on appelait à l'époque le bloc de l'Est. Que ce soit en Union Soviétique ou dans les pays communistes comme la Bulgarie située en Europe du sud-est, dans les Balkans. À partir de 1947, la Bulgarie s'est massivement équipée en matériel de diffusion radiophonique, sous l'influence de l'Union Soviétique, c'est ainsi qu'apparait radiotočka, ce qui signifie littéralement point radio. Une radio que l'on ne pouvait pas éteindre et dont on ne pouvait pas changer la station. Radio Totchka était présente dans toutes les cuisines des habitations bulgares, ainsi que dans l'espace public, pour diffuser des émissions nationales et des programmes locaux, entre information et propagande. Dans ce premier épisode, nous partons en Bulgarie à la recherche de Radio Totchka avec pour guide l'ethnologue Olivier Givre et le créateur sonore Raphaël Cordray. Que reste-t-il de radiotočka ? Quelle était sa portée auprès des gens ? De quoi est faite la mémoire sonore du communisme en Bulgarie ? La Bulgarie a été occupée par l'Union soviétique à la fin de la Seconde Guerre mondiale, de 1944 à 1947, et devient République Populaire de Bulgarie dès 1946 avec une nouvelle constitution ratifiée fin 1947, calquée sur la constitution soviétique de 1936. Parti communiste unique et répression des opposants dominent la vie politique de la République Populaire de Bulgarie jusqu'à la chute du Mur de Berlin en 1989 suivi de l'effondrement de l'URSS en 1991… c'est alors que le pays change de nom et devient la Bulgarie, membre de l'Union européenne depuis 2007 et de la zone euro depuis 2026 ! Olivier Givre est maître de conférences en Anthropologie à l'Université Lumière Lyon 2 depuis 2007. Ses travaux concernent principalement l'Europe orientale et les Balkans, et portent sur trois thématiques : les processus patrimoniaux et mémoriels, les dynamiques frontalières et transfrontalières, les recompositions rituelles et religieuses. Plus récemment, il engage une série de travaux sur les approches sensorielles et la recherche-création.

Jennifer is an innovator, and has been dedicated to reimagining the human experience, whether through pioneering retail concepts, creating immersive outdoor experiences, or driving biophilic design solutions across industries.Talking about biophilic design isn't new on the podcast, this time though we bolt on retailing, neuroscience and experience. This conversation is more introspective and looks at one's motivation to change to considering our environments and biophilic design from the point of view of sense of well-being and personal growth.We'll get there in a minute but... first a few thoughts…* * * *If you go back to the early episodes of the podcast, you'll come across Bill Browning. Bill and I connected while I was working the hospitality industry and focusing my efforts on the redesign of the Westin guestroom and lobby design strategy.Bill's world is Biophilic – both literally and philosophically, may be even existentially. He literally wrote the book on Biophilic Design's 14 principles, which now includes a 15th with the addition of ‘Awe,' and he has written a more recent publication with Katie Ryan called “Nature Inside,” it is a terrific handbook to implementing Biophilic design principles in built environments.I think a lot about the design of places where nature has been completely eliminated - think major downtown cities in any corner of the world.It is also not lost on me that when I sit working in my Home Office I have the extraordinarily good fortune to lookout on 2 1/2 acres of green space with a rolling hill down towards a creek that when it rains particularly hard overflows and becomes a small river in my backyard. But this point of view to my backyard and the way I feel sitting on my deck having a morning coffee is not just about the warm feeling of my cup in my hands but that there are key principles of biophilic design at play - namely refuge and prospect. Being exposed daily to these perspectives towards a forest at the back of my property I have an immediate body sense of calm, wonder and awe.I see sun rises to the left of my property and sun sets to the right. The re are Canada geese that, like clockwork, fly over my backyard every fall as they migrate South. I'm attuned to the textures and colors of the sky and the varying degrees of light intensity - bright and brilliant and dreary and diffused.All of these features of a natural world have the effect of putting me at ease.In the past few years, I've begun to connect that mind body experience, the somatic experience of natural places, with what I understand about neuroscience and our long evolutionary history of living the largest proportion of our human development among trees - in a real jungle versus the concrete ones that we have now built all around us.It's no surprise that the Japanese practice of Shinrin-yoku – forest bathing – is actually therapeutic. When we immerse ourselves in a forest atmosphere, using all five senses to connect with nature, we are promoting stress reduction and well-being. Slowing down, and taking mindful walks, appreciating sights, sounds, and smells is so good for us and yet many of us, especially those who are city dwellers, rush from place to place making sure to stay on the clock moving from one appointment to the next and filling our schedules every day with a mind-numbing number of things to check off on our To Do List Taking a moment to disconnect from technology calms the mind and body and has proven benefits like lower stress hormones and boosting immunity.The multi layered, highly textured and colored natural environments that we have evolved from, are often being replaced by environments of banality that actually have deep psychological effects when we are continually exposed to boring buildings.Bringing this intuitive sense, that natural environments support well-being, into the design of built environments, and intentionally creating places that reference biophilic principles, often proves very hard to do in a world where efficiency and productivity leading to increased profitability are what we are taught to drive towards as a reflection of success.Many times, adding plants to a space is an afterthought, like decoration, to make things look better - but they are not really being incorporated as a strategy for building environments to enhance well-being. Interestingly though, when people learn more about how to apply biophilic principles, beyond simply introducing plants as a nod to creating more nature-based experiences, they begin to also understand that their assumptions about adding additional cost may not be well founded. If you consider designing with nature in mind from the get-go, incorporating principles of biophilic design in the places we build as part of the strategy, then managing the costs is totally achievable.Anthropologie stores are a great example of introducing living green walls to their stores. Too be sure, these are not without expense both in their implementation and maintenance but the effect of walking up the grand staircase with this green wall rising from floor to ceiling across multiple levels feels wonderful. I still remember one of my first experiences in the Anthropologie store on Regent Street in London and have since sought to find similar experiences in other retail stores around the world. Design ideas like the green walls in Anthropologie stores is a conscious, intentional, move that enhances experience as well as environmental air quality. We simply feel better when we were places like this and if that turns into reduced absenteeism of associates or increased customer visits then… all the better. There's no question that being under a wash of fluorescent light standing on hard surfaces or sitting in cubicles is perhaps one of the worst ways to be productive and happy in our workplaces. I would imagine that sales associates in Anthropologie stores generally feel better than in big boxes with uniform high intensity lighting, relentless aisles of merchandise, hard surfaces and stale air with no natural sunlight.Full disclosure, when I look back over my career of designing retail places, very infrequently has the design team spent time considering what it would be like to be a sales associate in one of these places. Standing for hours on end in environments that are depleting leads to poor interactions between sales teams and customers. Seems kind of obvious but when people feel better in their workplaces, they're more likely to translate that to positive interactions with guests. More positive interactions with guests could naturally lead to larger basket size and increased number of return visits. All good if you're a retailerAnd yet, we seldom see retail places that fully embrace ideas that support well-being through the strategic introduction of biophilic design principles.New disciplines in the world of neuroscience like neuroaesthetics are beginning to be more widely accepted in the design community and there is a broader recognition about the positive effects of creating environments that apply principles of biophilia that enhance a sense of well-being. And while there is a growing trend of wider adoption of neuroaesthetics we need to keep on beating the drum about environments that are actually good for us.This is where the story leads to my guest Jennifer Walsh.In the 1990s, Jennifer founded Beauty Bar, the first experiential omni-channel beauty brand in the U.S., introducing open-sell environments, curbside service, and men's skincare departments - concepts that reshaped how people shop for beauty. Jennifer says that she just wanted people to feel good when they came into her store and she somehow intuitively knew that introducing elements of biophilia, though I'm not sure that we actually even had a name for it back then, into her store, would attract people, have them stay longer and return more often.Jennifer's integration of biophilic principles, long before they became mainstream, earned her recognition as an industry innovator. After Beauty Bar was ultimately purchased by Amazon in 2011, she continued to build groundbreaking businesses and brands, always staying ahead of the curve.Today, she guides large and small scale biophilic design projects to create spaces that promote human flourishing. In retail spaces, homes, schools, and urban landscapes, her work transforms environments into ecosystems of opportunity. All inspired from lived experiences. Jennifer helps organizations leverage the neuroscience of nature to enhance experiences, foster resilience, and build deeper connections within their organizations.ABOUT DAVID KEPRON:LinkedIn Profile: linkedin.com/in/david-kepron-9a1582bWebsites: https://www.davidkepron.com (personal website)vmsd.com/taxonomy/term/8645 (Blog)Email: david.kepron@NXTLVLexperiencedesign.comTwitter: DavidKepronPersonal Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/davidkepron/NXTLVL Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/nxtlvl_experience_design/Bio:David Kepron the Retail Studio Principal for the architecture and design firm Little (https://www.littleonline.com).

PJ rants about the devastation he experiences living in an apartment block and coming home to a mountain of parcels and getting all excited only to discover none are for him. The lads also share their thoughts on Wicked: For Good, with Kevin unable to move past Elphaba wearing an Anthropologie knit cardigan during the only sex scene in the whole film.For the theme, Kevin and PJ dive into the current Celtic revival, chatting about the surge in love for CMAT, Fontaines D.C., claddagh motifs and the sudden obsession with “splitting the G.” While they adore seeing people embrace their Irishness, they cannot help but worry that the hype might be more trend than tradition.Sign up to the I'm Grand Mam Patreon for more stunning content ✨ Hosted on Acast.

On today's episode, Kara welcomes Sarah Moret, Founder and CEO of Curie — the clean personal care brand on a mission to prove that “clean” can be powerful.Sarah's journey began with a personal frustration: she couldn't find a natural deodorant that actually worked. A marathon runner and wellness enthusiast, she set out to change that — investing $12,000 of her savings and spending more than a year perfecting a formula that delivered on both performance and purity. The result? Curie, a high-performance, aluminum-free deodorant that quickly grew from a small side hustle into an 8-figure business sold in over 4,500 stores nationwide, including Walmart and Anthropologie, and featured in locker rooms at Equinox and SoulCycle.Before founding Curie, Sarah worked in venture capital, where she invested in early-stage wellness startups — experience that gave her the insight and drive to build her own brand from the ground up. We talk about her journey from investor to entrepreneur, the lessons she's learned about formulating clean products that truly work, and how she's scaling Curie while staying true to her mission and values. From her Shark Tank deal with Barbara Corcoran and Mark Cuban to building a brand that's redefining the meaning of clean, this episode is full of lessons and inspiration for founders and consumers alike.
