This week we review the opening race of the AFCS Sprint Series from Attica Raceway Park, which was the lone AFCS race to be completed as Fremont has to cancel due to rain. We talk about Scotty Thiel's DQ at Attica which gave the win to Devon Borden. We also talk about Cale Thomas's short lived stint in the Shark Racing car and we discuss some of the big wrecks from the weekend.
The defeat of the Persian fleet at Salamis didn't end the Greek struggle for survival - it revealed deep fractures within their alliance that nearly surrendered their hard-won victory. Though only 31 Greek city-states had united against Persian invasion, their coalition teetered on collapse shortly after their naval triumph.When King Xerxes withdrew with most of his forces, leaving General Mardonius in Thessaly to continue the campaign the following spring, the immediate threat seemed to recede. This apparent reprieve accelerated the Peloponnesian desire to retreat behind their defensive wall at the Corinthian isthmus while Athens struggled to rebuild their utterly destroyed city.The strategic gulf between Athens and Sparta widened as Mardonius cleverly exploited these divisions. Sending Alexander I of Macedon as an envoy, the Persians offered Athens remarkably generous terms: autonomy, additional territory, and assistance rebuilding their temples - if they would abandon the Greek alliance. These diplomatic overtures revealed Persian sophistication in understanding and manipulating Greek interstate politics. The stakes became brutally clear when an Athenian councilman who supported accepting Persian terms was stoned to death alongside his family.As Mardonius advanced into Attica a second time, Athens evacuated to Salamis again, sending increasingly desperate envoys to Sparta. The Peloponnesians, however, completed their defensive fortifications at the isthmus while celebrating religious festivals - a thinly-veiled excuse for inaction. Athens found themselves abandoned precisely when they needed their allies most.This moment of crisis illuminates the trajectory of Greek interstate relations that would eventually culminate in the devastating Peloponnesian War decades later. The continental, defensive mindset of Sparta clashed fundamentally with Athens' commitment to a united Greek response. These divergent strategic priorities would develop into competing visions for Greece's future after the Persian threat receded.Support the show
In this episode, I explore the iconic 1975 film Dog Day Afternoon with guest Jake Flores, delving into its themes of class struggle and socio-economic issues of the 1970s. We analyze Sonny's character, who conducts a bank heist to fund his partner Leon's gender-affirming surgery, and discuss the film's impact on LGBTQ+ representation.Our conversation examines the media portrayal in the film, particularly the "Attica" scene's relevance to contemporary justice movements. By unpacking the film's climax, we highlight its stark reality within a decaying socio-economic landscape, emphasizing its enduring significance in discussions around identity, resistance, and the intersection of art and politics.Jake Floreshttps://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/pod-damn-america/id1271019505https://x.com/feraljokeshttps://x.com/WhyYouMadPodhttps://x.com/IDKYPodhttps://www.instagram.com/feraljokes/Left of the Projector Linkshttps://www.patreon.com/LeftoftheProjectorPodhttps://boxd.it/5T9O1https://leftoftheprojector.comhttps://instagram.com/leftoftheprojectorhttp://tiktok.com/@leftoftheprojectorpodhttps://www.threads.net/@leftoftheprojector

This week were back to talk about Attica getting their second race in for the season, thanks to a Saturday rain date. The track saw a few track records get broken and a couple of repeat winners. We also talk about high winds canceling some sprint car races out west and more!
With Annabel Crabb.Acclaimed chef Ben Shewry of Attica opens up to Annabel Crabb about his memoir Uses for Obsession, which details a toxic hospitality culture, an oppressive restaurant review system and the author's own unwavering pursuit of perfection.Event details:Sat 01 Mar, 10:45am | West Stage
We were able to get our first race of the year in at Attica! We were able to get some good weather and the first race of the year in at Attica in March! We talk about the first race of the night and the huge crowd that showed up! We also talk about the results from across the country and we talk in depth about the newly announced franchise system that the High Limit Series will be running after 2025.
Cameron Tay-Yap didn't really set out to be a chef, initially cooking for his family was a way to avoid doing his homework. But in secondary school, he took a chance on hospitality, and a friendly rivalry with a classmate pushed him to take food seriously. That competitive streak led to a stage at Attica, where he found his rhythm in the high-stakes world of fine dining. Since then, he has travelled and spent time as the head chef at Amaru. But his latest venture, Pebble at La Roca, is something different. What began as a pop-up in a car park evolved into a space where Cameron could step back, experiment, and bring people together—though, true to form, his “relaxed” project still involves weekly menu changes and exacting standards. Cameron reflects on his journey, the discipline of top-tier kitchens, and why, after a decade in fine dining, rustic cooking is harder than it looks. Generous with his insights, he shares here what the industry has taught him—not just about food, but about patience, compassion, and the kind of leadership that brings out the best in a team.

Dan Lidgard has always known he was meant to be a chef. Growing up in Mt Maunganui, New Zealand, he was drawn to the kitchen from an early age and never looked back. His career has taken him through some of Australia's best restaurants, including Stokehouse and Attica, where he honed his skills and developed his own bold, produce-driven style. Now, as executive chef at Patsy's, Bau Bau, and Bistro Elba, he's creating dishes that are fun, fresh, and packed with flavour. It is obvious from talking with Dan that he loves cooking and can't imagine doing anything else. He kept popping up on my radar as other chefs mentioned him in glowing terms and then I read Broadsheet's recent article about the ‘cool' chefs cooking in Bouldering Gym carparks. Dan is one of them, joining mate and founder of Pebble at La Roca, Cameron Tay-Yap this Sunday to cook up an Italian feast. It was high time I chatted to Dan and I am so glad I did.

Some of the world’s most creative people seem to have no trouble staying creative while the rest of us find it a constant challenge. But what if there were simple things you could be doing to lift the load and make being creative fun again? This is why I’ve asked creative powerhouse Ben Shewry to return to the podcast. Ben Shewry is head chef and owner of multi-award winning Melbourne restaurant, Attica. Attica has been featured several times in the The World's 50 Best Restaurants and has been named the Best Restaurant in Australia. He has also won The Age Good Food Guide’s Restaurant of the year 3 times, Chef of the Year twice, has earned 3 Michelin stars, been featured on the Netflix Series Chef’s Table and so much more. What you probably didn’t know about Ben is that he is also a brilliant writer. His latest book, Uses for Obsession, is a memoir of his experiences in the hospitality industry. With all of this success and all these projects, Ben has definitely found more demands on his time, and yet he still manages to keep that joy and passion with his creative work. Ben shares:
For four days in September of 1971, prisoners revolted, taking over the institution that incarcerated them in upstate New York. By the time the dust settled in Attica, 33 prisoners and 10 guards or staff had been killed – notably all but one guard and three prisoners were killed by law enforcement gunfire when the state violently retook control of the prison. While the Attica rebellion has become fairly widely known, our guest has written a powerful book that reframes that rebellion not as a singular uprising, but as one important piece that contextualizes a series of rebellions by prisoners, engaging in tactics that include counter-violence, against the violence of the white supremacist capitalist framing of our society itself, asserting that US prisons are literal sites of war. Our guest is Orisanmi Burton, a Professor of Anthropology at American University, who describes this framing in his book as the Long Attica Revolt, or in description, “revolutionary struggle for decolonization and abolition at the site of the US prison”. His book is called “Tip of the Spear: Black Radicalism, prison repression, and the long attica revolt.” Prisoners in, at least New York, Florida, Michigan, and California, have been banned from reading it under fears that it may itself incite rebellion. That's a claim that our guest rejects. — Subscribe to this podcast: https://plinkhq.com/i/1637968343?to=page Get in touch: lawanddisorder@kpfa.org Follow us on socials @LawAndDis: https://twitter.com/LawAndDis; https://www.instagram.com/lawanddis/ The post The Long Attica Revolt w/ Orisanmi Burton appeared first on KPFA.

Ben Shewry knows obsession well. It’s what has propelled his innovative Melbourne restaurant, Attica, to national and global acclaim. His new memoir-meets-manifesto, Uses for Obsession: A (Chef’s) Memoir, is a reflection on leadership, hospitality and humanity, and an unforgettable look inside the sometimes-brutal world of cheffing. Shewry joins host Marieke Hardy for this special live episode of Hardy’s podcast, Marieke Hardy is Going to Die. They plan Shewry’s dream funeral and reflect on navigating life’s ebbs and flows: from creative freedom and culinary sustainability to the cult of the chef and cooking as muse. Hear from a restaurateur and a raconteur as they contemplate one of the only certainties in life – that we’re all going to die. Someday.This episode was recorded on Tuesday 15 October 2024 at The Wheeler Centre as part of Spring Fling. The official bookseller was Readings. Produced by Darren Scarce with music by Lord Fascinator. Marieke Hardy Is Going To Die is a podcast made by Marieke Hardy (IG @marieke_hardy).

Four bodies are reported to have been recovered so far. Australian Diving Instruction, a PADI 5* instructor development centre in Geelong, south of Melbourne in Victoria, has been fined Aud $40,000 (£20,460) for the explosion of an out-of-test scuba cylinder that resulted in a diver's leg being blown off. A 25-year-old man from the UK has died after reportedly losing consciousness while scuba diving off Greece's Attica coast near Athens, on the afternoon of 24 November.A Chinese diver wearing a brightly coloured novelty hood is reported to have been bitten on the back of the head by a tiger shark at a popular Maldives dive-site.https://divernet.com/scuba-news/health-safety/8-still-missing-after-huge-wave-sank-red-sea-liveaboard/https://divernet.com/scuba-news/health-safety/dive-school-fined-for-explosion-that-cost-instructors-leg/https://divernet.com/scuba-news/health-safety/british-diver-dies-in-greece-instructors-arrested/https://divernet.com/scuba-news/health-safety/tiger-bites-divers-head-at-maldives-shark-tank/ Websitehttps://www.scubadivermag.comInstagramhttps://www.instagram.com/scubadivermagazine/Facebookhttps://www.facebook.com/scubadivermag/YouTubehttps://www.youtube.com/c/ScubaDiverMagazine/Scuba Diver Magazinescubadivermag.com/subscriptions

Ben Shewry is one of Australia's top chefs who's behind the world renowned restaurant Attica. He started working at a local restaurant in New Zealand at just 10 years old after sending out letters pleading his case to become a chef. In his new memoir, Uses For Obsession, Shewry exposes the misogyny, harassment, and toxic culture ingrained in hospitality. In this chat with Antoinette Lattouf, Ben reveals why he wrote a whole chapter on hot chips and how one of the most telling things about a person is the way they treat waitstaff.

Over the summer we've read about issues of water scarcity on Greece's islands, many of them struggling to find ways to meet demand during the summer - especially as tourists swarm to the islands.

Experts have warned that if droughts persist, Athens would run out of water in another four years. This has spurred the government into action, and it has announced a series of ambitious water projects. John Psaropoulos joins Thanos Davelis to look into the challenge that Greece is up against.John Psaropoulos is an independent journalist and Al Jazeera's correspondent in southeast Europe. He publishes Hellenica, a weekly deep dive into Greek current affairs and history.

Mad Bomber Melville by Leslie James PickeringAug 23, 2021A white, working-class revolutionary, Sam Melville's guerrilla bombings set in motion a flood of armed radical actions across the United States in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Once imprisoned, Melville became a key organizer and a crucial element of the notorious Attica prison riots, uniting prisoners across racial barriers and making the ultimate sacrifice for revolutionary change. Tracing his short life and rapid political development, this book highlights a much-needed example of an undying and uncompromising struggle for justice and liberation.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-opperman-report--1198501/support.
Is there an effort afoot to revive the F-35 deal with Turkey? The issue popped up in a report in the Turkish newspaper Cumhuriyet, and has raised questions about whether this is being seriously considered - despite the issue of the Russian S-400s remaining unresolved - or if it is wishful thinking on the part of Ankara. Michael Rubin, the director of policy analysis at the Middle East Forum and a senior fellow at the American Enterprise Institute, joins Thanos Davelis to look into this latest report and break down why an F-35 reboot for Turkey is a mistake.

On August 10, 1991, 17-year-old Torriano Jackson was shot and killed in front of 100 people on the East side of Buffalo, New York. Valentino Dixon was quickly arrested, charged, and convicted of the crime, even though numerous eye witnesses came forward to say that he wasn't the shooter. It would take decades to prove his innocence. And what Valentino accomplished in that time--in New York's infamous Attica prison--would inspire the likes of President Obama to take notice of his resilience and artistic genius. FAM!!
