1961. The world is on the brink of nuclear war. Walls are dividing East and West.  Empires are crumbling. And in Barcelona, chaos is unleashed when a rogue officer of the East German STASI attempts to blackmail a pair of struggling arms dealers.  The secret—30 tons of stolen gold hidden in an icebound wilderness at the end of the world.Mike Fowler is a former Navy salvage diver and OSS assassin. Anton Voss is an expatriate German scientist whose past grows darker the closer anyone looks. Once they might have been enemies, yet the two share an inseparable bond; they have saved one another's lives.  But all of that is put at risk when Mike discovers Anton standing over a midnight visitor with a gun in his hand. Now they're on the run, allied with gangsters, pursued by the CIA, Israeli intelligence, and a shadowy cabal bent on creating an invisible empire. The trail leads from the rain soaked docks of Marseilles, to the futuristic towers of Caracas, and the ruins of a secret island laboratory in Argentine Patagonia. The only way for Mike Fowler to save his oldest friends, and the woman he loves, is to unlock a decades old mystery buried in his partner's Nazi past … before it destroys them all.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

When you're running for office be your authentic self and tell the truth. You have to tell everybody what you have done for them and what you want to do. You have to listen to them. You shouldn't be scripted. Shoot from the hip; talk from the heart. And you can tell them how you can't get things done without having the House and Senate, but this is what I would like to do. What makes sense for all Americans. But you have to point out the opponent -- things are hurting them. Ask them not to be a one issue voter; you're not voting for perfect but for Good. ~Pat CeasarPat Ceasar, Pat Is a Comic/Actor/Writer/ Director/DP and an Artist & Storyteller. After attending the Art Institute of Boston at Leslie College she started her career working on Political advertising in Boston as an Art Director. Then Pat moved to NYC and switched her career to consumer advertising.  

In this episode, we discuss Why Branding Needs a Good Story with Tejal Prajapati, award winning branding consultant and founder of TP Creative. Tejal took home a Silver at the 2025 Best Businesswomen Awards. With sixteen years in the design industry before going it alone, Tejal now helps businesses generate real results through strategic, story-led design. In this episode Debbie and Tejal get into what actually separates great design from something knocked up on Canva, why AI should be a tool in the middle of your process rather than the start or the end, and the important question of who actually owns an AI generated image. There is also an illuminating and cautionary story from Debbie about discovering her own logo had been created from a stock image and sold to multiple businesses including a kombucha brand. Tejal also shares some genuinely useful insight into the awards process, including what it felt like to not get through the Best Businesswomen Awards first time. Furthermore, she explains how she used that feedback to build a much stronger application, and why treating each entry as a deep business review is one of the best things you can do for yourself and your business. Oh, and her ten year old daughter won a business award before she did. Which says everything you need to know about backing yourself. About Tejal Tejal is the founder of TP Creative, a brand and design consultancy built on partnership, integrity and purposeful impact. With a degree in Visual Communication and 16 years of agency experience, she rose from Junior Designer to Art Director, leading brand transformations and national campaigns for clients including Jaguar Land Rover, Bentley and Virgin Trains. In 2018, she made the decision to build something more meaningful, founding TP Creative to help purpose-driven businesses build brands that truly matter. TP combines brand strategy with print and digital design to deliver work that not only stands out, but drives growth. Tejal transforms her clients' vision into brands that attract attention, build trust and create lasting impact - reaching more people and communicating their message with clarity.   {1:45} Tejal's journey from corporate career to starting her own design business. {3:59} Juggling motherhood with running a business. {6:14} Why small businesses need branding consultants like Tejal {7:58} How AI will impact design. {9:35} Who has IP for AI-generated images and designs? {10:43} The role of storytelling in branding. {12:55} How to transition from an existing brand to a new design. {14:23} The dangers of using stock images for logo designs. {19:35} When awards first appeared on Tejal's radar. {20:49} The first awards she entered. {21:41} The difference between Woman Who and Best Businesswomen Awards. {24:38} The Judges interview process for Woman Who. {25:53} The biggest benefits of entering awards. {29:09} Her children's passion for design. {29:52} The next 12 months.   Connect with Debbie at: https://thebusinessawardsshow.co.uk                                         https://bestsmeawards.co.uk/                                        Connect with Tejal:  https://tpcreative.co.uk/ LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/in/tejalprajapati/                 https://www.linkedin.com/company/tpcreative/ Facebook:  https://www.facebook.com/www.tpcreative.co.uk/ Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/tpcreativedesign/ YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@tejalprajapati9288  

Think about your favourite records. Go ahead. Chances are, one of the first things that popped into your head was the album cover. And it makes sense...who hasn't studied an album jacket while listening to a record?  Or scanned the track listing, or read the liner notes or credits?  How many of you have bought an album solely based on the cover art? The artwork colors how we hear the music, and, likewise, the music informs how we interpret the artwork.  Either way, when done effectively, the two are intertwined. But don't take it from us.  This week, we have one of THE greatest creative art directors in music history joining as our Third Lad.  There's a near certainty that you have the iconic work of John Kosh sitting in your record collection - and it's absolutely staggering list of credits since the late ‘60s.  For starters, how about his work as with The Beatles' Apple Records, like Abbey Road, Let It Be, or John & Yoko's Wedding Album? Or how about Who's Next?  Get Your Ya-Ya's Out?  Hotel California?  Out Of The Blue, featuring his familiar ELO spaceship logo?  In fact, he is the only Art Director to have worked with The Beatles, The Stones, and The Who.  That's not enough for you?  Among the hundreds of album covers Kosh has designed, there are also familiar sleeves for Ringo Starr, Rod Stewart, Marvin Gaye, James Taylor, Jimmy Buffet, Donovan, Aerosmith, Family, The Moody Blues, Badfinger, 10,000 Maniacs, T. Rex, and so, so many more.  And, oh yeah, the four decade string of gorgeous covers he did for Linda Ronstadt, three of which have earned him Grammys. Aside from album covers, there's artwork for singles, books, TV, film, posters, and billboards - like, for example, the simple but incredibly effective John & Yoko campaign declaring WAR IS OVER…if you want it.  Listen as Kosh recounts stories from his fabled career and discusses his Top 5 Album Covers (other than his own).

Most movies treat mental health like a plot twist—something dramatic, visible, and easily explained. But real depression and anxiety don't work that way, and filmmaker Olivia Nash is determined to flip the script and show a more realistic portrayal. In this episode, host Gabe Howard sits down with the actor, writer, and director of the indie film “Hi.” to tease out what it really means to portray mental health authentically on screen. The conversation goes beyond the film itself, diving into the realities of mental health in Hollywood, how Nash fostered open conversations on set, and what it takes to center people over productivity in an industry that rarely slows down. Why You Should Listen Discover how Nash's personal experience with depression and anxiety changed her storytelling — and why that matters for audiences Hear how Hollywood's most common mental health tropes can do real harm, even when intentions are good Understand why functioning, successful people are often the most misunderstood when it comes to mental health Understand why authentic representation in pop culture can be life-changing for viewers If you're tired of seeing mental health reduced to stereotypes, or you've ever been told you “can't be depressed” because you're functioning, this episode offers a refreshing, validating perspective you won't want to miss.“Mental health isn't a plot twist—it's just part of who people are.”~Olivia Nash, Hollywood Actor and Director Olivia Nash is a multifaceted creative professional with extensive experience in acting,producing, directing, and production design.

Christoph Radl"Mise en scène"Ettore SottsassDario Cimorelli Editorewww.dariocimorellieditore.itMostraEttore SottsassMise en scèneFino al 15 febbraio 2026Triennale, MilanoApriamo un nuovo capitolo della ricerca sulla figura di Ettore Sottsass, insieme a Studio Sottsass. La mostra riunisce circa 1.200 fotografie in bianco e nero e a colori scattate tra il 1976 e il 2007, periodo che intercorre tra l'anno dell'incontro tra Barbara Radice ed Ettore Sottsass e l'anno della scomparsa di quest'ultimo.
Si tratta di un variegato paesaggio della loro vita privata e pubblica a casa e in giro per il mondo, per lavoro e per visite, con poche distinzioni. La vita tra i due ha sempre fatto poche differenze tra il pubblico e il privato.
Il titolo della mostra si riferisce all'idea di Sottsass che la vita, un poco come per la Commedia dell'Arte, assomigli appunto, alla “messa in scena”, abbastanza improvvisata di un vago canovaccio.A cura di Christoph Radl, Stefano Boeri, Micaela Sessa, Barbara Radice.Il volume apre un nuovo capitolo nella ricerca dedicata a Ettore Sottsass (1917–2007), presentando oltre mille fotografie in bianco e nero e a colori realizzate tra il 1976 e il 2007, scattate quasi sempre con la sua inseparabile Leica con obiettivo 21 mm, anni che segnano l'incontro con Barbara Radice e l'avvio di una vita condivisa, senza confini tra pubblico e privato. Le immagini raccontano un'esistenza nomade e intensa, da Milano all'India, dalla Tunisia all'Arizona, dall'Egitto alla Siria e al Qatar, passando per Gerusalemme, l'Iran, l'Algeria, il Messico, l'America, la Polinesia francese e la Nuova Guinea, fino alla Sicilia e a Filicudi, in un continuo attraversamento di paesaggi, interni, corpi e gesti quotidiani che trasformano la vita in una vera mise en scène.Il racconto visivo si intreccia con una costellazione di incontri e relazioni: i fotografi da Helmut Newton a Robert Mapplethorpe, insieme a Alfa Castaldi, Giovanni Gastel e Oliviero Toscani, i designer e gli architetti da Andrea Branzi a Michele De Lucchi, da Vittorio Gregotti a Carlo Scarpa, da Shiro Kuramata a Alessandro Mendini e Achille Castiglioni, fino ai collezionisti e protagonisti del sistema dell'arte e della musica come Jean Pigozzi, Max Palevsky, Carla Sozzani, Anish Kapoor e Mick Jagger. Le immagini mostrano una passione tradotta in rituale quotidiano, anticipando l'esposizione mediatica dei social della nostra epoca e restituendo un mondo osservato senza filtri.Christoph Radl è un designer e artista multidisciplinare internazionale la cui carriera abbraccia il graphic design, la direzione editoriale e le arti visive contemporanee. È nato in Svizzera negli anni '50 (San Gallo, spesso dicono nel 1954) ed è cresciuto in Austria. Arrivato a Milano negli anni Settanta per frequentare la Scuola Politecnica di Design, inizia a lavorare con l'architetto e designer Ettore Sottsass e il Gruppo Memphis. Nel 1984 fonda l'agenzia di comunicazione creativa con Sottsass Associati e nel 1993 apre il suo studio R.A.D.L.&, specializzato in progetti editoriali di comunicazione e graphic design per moda, design, editoria e arti visive. Ha collaborato con Armani, Ferragamo, Pucci, Trussardi, Alessi, Cassina, Sony, il museo Guggenheim di Bilbao in Spagna, il Museum of Contemporary Art a Chicago, tra i molti. Ha collaborato come Art Director di una rivista di culto come TERRAZZO e di INTERNI per diversi anni ed è attualmente Art Director e co-fondatore di CABANA Magazine.  Radl ha esposto in diverse mostre collettive e personali. Tra i progetti più recenti: “FAT BOY” alla Galleria Antonia Jannone di Milano (2025), una serie di acquerelli su un bizzarro personaggio ispirato alla civiltà precolombiana dei Mimbres, che viaggia attraverso la storia dell'arte dall'arte antica fino ai maestri contemporanei, da Baselitz a Mantegna, da Kounellis a Picasso.  Diventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarehttps://ilpostodelleparole.it/

“Inspiration doesn't have an age gap… Maybe you've heard it 100 times before, but this time it hits differently. Or this time, it's where it sinks in and you have that ‘aha' moment.” That's just one takeaway from our spirited conversation with Grace Mc Nally. From soaking up a passion for photography through an early mentorship program at NYC Salt to her decision to forgo college and continue learning on the job, Grace has forged an impressive path as a creative renaissance woman with a passion for community. As podcast host Derek Fahsbender notes about this chat, “Great advice is all around you. Experience is all around you. But if you're not soaking it in, if you're not learning from it, then it's not going to make you a better photographer. It's not going to make you a better person. You really have to take it and internalize it.” So, sit back and be a sponge for some inspired creative insights!   Guest: Grace Mc Nally Episode Timeline: 2:28: Grace's photographic beginnings, her father's influence as a full-time professional, plus discovering the NYC Salt mentorship program. 6:08: Studying photography on the job, plus the influence of mentors like Mark Mann and the program at D&AD Shift NY. 13:40: How Grace's vision has changed through various mentorship programs, how her early self-portraits compare with recent projects to serve others, plus the creative challenges that come with doing paid work. 21:09: Grace's work in art direction and discovering the value of being a photographer in a different stage of production. 23:02: The main inspiration for how Grace sees and its relationship to Irish culture. 24:58: The gear she works with—from her earliest experiments with the iPod Touch to current work with her iPhone and her Canon R6 MK II. 29:30: More on free work vs paid jobs. How do you find your value as a photographer? 34:25: Thoughts about having diverse skill sets, compartmentalizing and creating labels, and Grace's vision for her career moving forward. 38:15: Grace's most instrumental piece of advice for photographers just starting out—Don't stop shooting and don't delete your work! 40:57: Grace's current self-portrait series in the Irish landscape and other future projects. Guest Bio: Grace Mc Nally is a creative renaissance woman with a passion for community.
