Jo Reed talks with Laura Rossi about three Earphones Award–winning audiobooks that showcase the range and power of great narration. In Caro Claire Burke's Yesteryear, Rebecca Lowman gives surprising dimension to a deeply unlikable trad-wife influencer whose carefully constructed life takes an unexpected turn. Jenny Jackson's The Shampoo Effect, read by Marin Ireland, follows four complicated women through a summer in coastal Massachusetts, with Ireland making each character distinct through subtle shifts in rhythm, pitch, and attitude. And in Transcendent, Laverne Cox narrates her own story with vulnerability and candor, sharing painful experiences from her childhood and reflecting on gender, race, and the struggle to live as her authentic self. Three very different audiobooks, each offering its own reminder of what makes listening such a distinctive experience.   Audiobooks Discussed: Yesteryear by Caro Claire Burke, read by Rebecca Lowman (Random House Audio) The Shampoo Effect by Jenny Jackson, read by Marin Ireland (Penguin Audio) Transcendent: A Memoir written and read by Laverne Cox (Simon & Schuster Audio)   Support for Behind the Mic with Kirkus Reviews comes from Harper Audio, producer of audiobooks by HarperCollins Focus and HarperCollins Christian Publishing, publishers of some of your favorite authors, including Reba McEntire, Bob Goff, Savannah Guthrie, Max Lucado, Lysa TerKeurst, and so many more!

The August NFL preview series is over. DJ and Kelcey picked every game in every division — all 272 of them — and now the picks come due. The final episode of the High Low Sports Podcast's 2026 preview series covers everything: full playoff brackets, Super Bowl predictions built on 20 years of NFL historical patterns, two season-long prop bets powered by Outlier, and every major award handed out before kickoff. DJ has the Chicago Bears winning the Super Bowl. His reasoning pulls from George Lucas — history is like poetry in that it rhymes — and maps a 20-year cycle: 2004 Patriots, 2024 Eagles; 2005 Steelers with a young second-year QB, 2025 Seahawks beating a young second-year QB; 2006 Peyton Manning finally breaking through against the Bears. 2026: Josh Allen finally breaks through and falls to the Chicago Bears. Caleb Williams wins a championship at SoFi Stadium, the building where he won the Heisman. Kelcey takes the Rams over the Bengals in a rematch of Super Bowl LVI. Aaron Donald is back in better shape than when he retired. Myles Garrett plays alongside him. Kyren Williams is about to have the breakout season of the decade. The Rams know the Bengals. They know the path to victory. Sun Tzu said so. On the best bets side, both hosts are backed by Outlier research. Kelcey hammers Justin Herbert's passing yards — a line that has already moved up from 3,450 since the AFC West video — because Herbert just set the record for the longest in-air throw by any Mike McDaniel quarterback in a preseason game. DJ goes all-in on DJ Moore's receiving yards over 825.5, backing it with career YAC data, the Bills' scheme, Josh Allen's arm, and one ghost pepper he will eat live on air if the pick misses. Awards: Kelcey gives MVP to Drake Maye, Defensive Player of the Year to Myles Garrett, Offensive Player of the Year to Kyren Williams and Coach of the Year to Liam Cohen. DJ gives MVP to Justin Herbert, Defensive Player of the Year to Will Anderson, Offensive Player of the Year to Amon-Ra St. Brown and Coach of the Year to Kliff Kingsbury. They agree on almost nothing, which is exactly how it should end. The NFL season starts tonight. On a Wednesday. DJ is still complaining about it.

Europe's deep tech companies will not become global leaders by copying traditional venture playbooks. They need specialist investors who can tackle commercialisation, manufacturing and supply chain bottlenecks from the earliest stages.After accepting the Newcomer of the Year award on behalf of Ruya Ventures at the EUVC Summit & Awards Show 2026, Founder and Managing Partner Rick Hao explains:Why Ruya backs a small, concentrated portfolio at pre-seed and seedHow early support and global supply chain expertise can help hardware startups scaleWhy underinvested sectors such as battery technology may offer overlooked opportunitiesHear how Ruya is helping deep tech companies scale faster with less capital and compete globally.The EUVC Summit & Awards Show returns to London in April 2027.

A great venture exit is not necessarily the biggest headline transaction. The better test is whether it returns meaningful capital while allowing the company to keep building.Balderton Capital's exit from Dream Games offers one model. CVC acquired the VC investors' stakes, creating liquidity for early backers while Dream Games continued building the Royal universe and pursuing its ambition to create world-leading games.After Balderton received EUVC's Exit of the Year award, Partner Rob Moffat reflected on the investment and why venture investors should think beyond the traditional IPO path.Balderton backed Dream Games in 2019 when it was just two months old, with five founders, no employees and, as Rob recalls, around 12 slides. The conviction came from an exceptional team with product obsession, ambition and competitiveness, including experience building Toon Blast and Toy Blast.Rob also explains how secondaries and private equity can provide liquidity without requiring founders to sell the company or give up control.Key takeawaysExceptional teams can justify very early convictionProduct obsession can be a powerful investment signalIPOs are not the only route to venture returnsPrivate equity can create liquidity while founders keep buildingExit structures can align investor returns with founder controlTimestamps(00:00) Why team quality matters at the earliest stage(01:00) Backing five founders with zero employees(02:00) What makes an exceptional founder(03:00) Dream Games' obsession with product quality(04:00) Why “IPO or nothing” is the wrong approach(05:00) Finding the right liquidity route(06:00) Preserving founder control in the CVC transaction(07:00) Why private equity is moving into mobile games and techSubscribe to EUVC for more insights.

   The four year saga to build a new stadium in KC for the Royals was a blockbuster to watch and we all thought it ended with the big Crown Center announcement earlier this year.  Boy, were we wrong.  It ended with a Royals worker being arrested at a council meeting when it broke out into a free for all.  Hilarious.    Penn State frat boys got busted running a drug ring and their leader's nickname is one for the ages.      The Minnesota award winner for "Refugee of the Year" is charged with 8 counts for fraud stealing millions from Medicaid.  Of course he did.      Nike is a failing company and has been ever since it paid millions to Collin Kaepernick for kneeling during the national anthem and holding news conferences wearing Castro tee shirts.  This is bad, but they can fix it.  Just do it.     The most counted on Chiefs O-Lineman misses practice Tuesday with, uh oh, a back injury.  Eric Bieniemy speaks about his son shooting his wife.    Sporting KC spends millions on an international player and boy do they need something good.  The Advent Health Championship golf tourney starts Thursday at Blue Hills as Tom Watson takes center stage as the tourney ambassador.  And our Final Final is sad news about a legendary rock band.

Ricardo Sequerra Amram⁠ takes the stage following ⁠Point Nine⁠ after Point Nine was named Firm of the Year 2025 in the sub-€200 million category at the EUVC Summit & Awards Show 2026.The award takes a holistic view of a venture firm, considering financial performance, firm building, founder and LP value creation, impact, diversity, transparency and fairness.Ricardo is a Partner at Point Nine, a thesis-driven early-stage venture firm based in Europe and investing globally. Point Nine operates as an equal partnership and has remained focused on leading pre-seed and seed rounds, with each partner making only a small number of new commitments each year.In the discussion, Ricardo explains why the firm has deliberately resisted scaling into later stages, how its thesis has evolved from B2B SaaS and marketplaces towards AI and other emerging technologies, and why staying close to what is genuinely new matters at seed.He also shares how Point Nine thinks about identifying founders before the opportunity is obvious, from the “magnetism” of people who attract talent, capital and customers to three qualities the firm looks for more deeply: insight, obsession and taste.The EUVC Summit & Awards Show returns in 2027.

Staffan Helgesson takes the stage following Creandum being named Firm of the Year 2025 (>€200M AUM) at the EUVC Summit & Awards Show 2026.The award goes beyond returns, recognising how a VC performs across the full stack: portfolio outcomes, founder support, LP value creation and contribution to the ecosystem, from backing emerging sectors to setting standards on transparency, diversity and fairness.Staffan founded Creandum in 2003 and is now a Partner based in Stockholm. His work has focused largely on SaaS, alongside leading the firm's climate practice with a particular focus on electrification.In the discussion, he reflects on how Creandum has evolved over more than two decades, why the firm treats venture as a team sport and how it thinks about fund size, performance and Europe's changing venture ecosystem.He also returns to a principle Creandum has carried with it: “the price always increases”. What was enough to win a deal, recruit someone or build a firm last year will not be enough next year, especially as AI reshapes venture.The EUVC Summit & Awards Show returns in 2027.

Camilla Dolan, General Partner at Eka Ventures, joins a conversation following Eka being named Impact Leader of the Year 2025 at the EUVC Summit & Awards Show 2026.The award recognises exceptional positive impact alongside strong financial performance, with impact intention, measurement and reporting integrated throughout the investment process.The recognition follows the close of Eka' $107 million second fund, focused on health, wellbeing and sustainability as long-term drivers of value.In the conversation, Camilla explains Eka's shared value thesis and why the firm believes impact investing can drive outlier returns while bringing more commercial capital into the market.In Fund I, she says every pound invested by Eka has been followed by roughly £10 of additional capital, much of it from commercial investors.She also explains how Eka assesses founders, looking for people who learn at an exceptional rate, show high intentionality and have evidence of outlier achievement.Camilla connects that approach to investments including Runna, which Eka backed in 2022 before its acquisition by Strava.The discussion explores what it looks like to treat impact as part of the investment discipline itself, rather than something separate from commercial performance.The EUVC Summit & Awards Show returns in 2027.

In this special episode of Biographers in Conversation for the 2026 National Biography Award, Dr Helen Ennis chats with Dr Gabriella Kelly-Davies about her choices while crafting Max Dupain: A Portrait. Here's what you'll discover in this episode: Helen Ennis received the prestigious 2026 National Biography Award for Max Dupain: A Portrait, the biography of Max Dupain, the most influential photographer of the 20th century. The award judges remarked: ‘Max Dupain: A Portrait was chosen for this year's National Biography Award as an exceptional example of the biographer's craft. Elegantly structured and written, it weaves Dupain's life and work into a complex whole.' ‘Interspersed microchapters accompanying carefully curated images illuminate not only the range and originality of his photography but also aspects of his character', the judges added. ‘As biographer, Helen Ennis is present but never obtrusive, questioning and interpreting while remaining non-judgmental.' ‘This biography of a major 20th-century Australian photographer will be read long into the 21st.'

How can you prove that something is true without revealing why it is true?  That question gave rise to zero-knowledge proofs, one of the most important breakthroughs in modern cryptography. What began as an attempt to solve a seemingly playful problem — playing poker securely over the telephone — ultimately changed how computer scientists think about proofs, privacy, and verification. In this episode of First Principles, Turing Award–winning cryptographer Shafi Goldwasser joins a16z crypto Head of Research Tim Roughgarden and Research Partner Justin Thaler to tell the origin story of zero-knowledge proofs and interactive proof systems.  Goldwasser recounts how she, Silvio Micali, and Charles Rackoff developed a new kind of proof involving interaction, randomness, and a small probability of error. Their work introduced the idea that a prover could convince a verifier that a statement is true while revealing no additional information. The conversation follows those ideas through some of theoretical computer science's deepest results, including interactive proofs, IP = PSPACE, probabilistically checkable proofs, the sum-check protocol, and SNARKs.  These concepts now power blockchain rollups, privacy-preserving applications, and systems for verifying computation without repeating all the work. They also explore why breakthrough ideas are often initially rejected, how toy problems can lead to foundational theories, why abstraction and narrative matter in scientific research, and whether AI systems should be required to prove their answers.  Highlights  0:00 — Intro  3:36 — How mental poker inspired zero-knowledge proofs: Proving that something is true without revealing the underlying information  6:30 — The simulation paradigm and the meaning of “zero knowledge”  8:33 — Why the original paper was repeatedly rejected  10:33 — How interactive proofs became more powerful than conventional proofs  13:36 — The road to modern SNARKs  19:02 — Why the sum-check protocol is so useful for verifiable computation  25:31 — Why many so-called “zk proofs” are not actually zero knowledge  34:06 — Why toy examples, playfulness, and narratives can produce deep theory  37:23 — The role of rigor and computational assumptions in cryptography  42:44 — Applying zero-knowledge proofs to law, evidence, and secret software  45:23 — Training AI systems to provide proofs alongside their answers  54:27 — Why genuinely new ideas are often difficult for experts to recognize  About First Principles  First Principles is a special limited series from a16z crypto about the scientific roots of modern computing — especially blockchains — told through rare conversations with the pioneers who helped shape the foundational ideas behind distributed systems, consensus protocols, economics, mechanism design, cryptography, zero knowledge, and more.  People often tell the story of the Bitcoin whitepaper as if it appeared out of nowhere. But the ideas behind Bitcoin — and blockchains more broadly — come from decades of computer science, economics, mathematics, and cryptography. First Principles is a guide to that lineage, as told by the people who helped build it.  Links  Shafi Goldwasser  MIT CSAIL: http://people.csail.mit.edu/shafi/  Simons Institute: https://simons.berkeley.edu/people/shafi-goldwasser  Tim Roughgarden a16z crypto: https://a16zcrypto.com/team/tim-roughgarden/  Website: https://timroughgarden.org/ "X: https://x.com/Tim_Roughgarden  Justin Thaler  a16z crypto: https://a16zcrypto.com/team/justin-thaler/  Website: https://people.cs.georgetown.edu/jthaler/  X: https://x.com/SuccinctJT  a16z crypto Subscribe: https://www.youtube.com/@a16zcrypto  Website: https://a16zcrypto.com/  X: https://twitter.com/a16zcrypto  Newsletter: https://a16zcrypto.substack.com/ Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Sonali De Rycker, Partner at Accel, is inducted into the EUVC Hall of Fame 2025 in this awards presentation from the EUVC Summit & Awards Show 2026.The award recognises individuals who have shaped European venture over more than a decade through the founders they backed, the firms they helped build and the ideas they advanced.Sonali joined Accel in 2008 and invests across consumer internet, software and fintech. Her investments include Spotify, one of the companies that helped establish what a globally significant European technology business could look like.In her acceptance remarks, she reflects on choosing Europe at a time when the ecosystem was fragmented and widely considered far behind Silicon Valley. What she saw instead were founders building without much infrastructure or support, often far beyond the continent's established technology hubs.She also discusses how Europe has strengthened as founders recycle talent, experience and capital into new companies, and why AI gives the continent another opportunity to build global leaders. Throughout, she returns to the belief that has shaped her career: exceptional European founders can build companies with global impact.The EUVC Summit & Awards Show returns in 2027. Find out more.

Vaseem Khan tried to be an author for a long time. He wrote widely, in all genres, even analytically studied the greats to learn from how they did it, but kept gettiing rejected. Finally, after many turned down pitches, he landed a deal for 'The Unexpected Inheritance of Inspector Chopra'. It tells the story of a retiring police officer, who is given an elephant to adopt. It was selected by the Sunday Times as one of the 40 best crime novels between 2015-20. He still writes widely. Vaseem published the 'Malabar House' novels set in 1950s India, which focus on the country's first female police officer. His most recent novel, 'The Edge of Darkness' is in that series. He also won the CWA Crime Dagger award in 2021 for his book, 'Midnight at Malabar House'. He's given psychological thriller a go with 'The Girl in Cell A', set in the United States which sold very well, and has more recently turned his hand to something like cosy crime, with his novel, 'Quantum of Menace'. It tells the story of Q from the world of James Bond. Recently fired and pottering about at home, he must solve the mystery of a friends murder. You can hear about the process of being approached by the Ian Fleming estate, and the deal-breaker that he insisted on for the character.We talk about why everything needs to be spot on as he goes through the novel, also how he brought life to a caricature, and how he managed to keep going through the rejections. There's also a lot of editing and workplace tips to inspire your own day.You can get a copy of the book at uk.bookshop.org/shop/writersroutineSupport us - patreon.com/writersroutineko-fi.com/writersroutineThis week's episode is sponsored by Philippa Hall's 'Quick Book Reviews' podcast.

One artist joined the voting push with 26 votes while another submission had more than 300. Another almost skipped the application altogether. In this Golden Brush Awards roundtable, Eugene O'Neill, Sophie Groenstein, Julia Kenyon, Sydney Rae, and Sabah Bardhan unpack the decisions behind five winning pieces: painting a monumental portrait of Buddhist nun Jun Son while working until 2 a.m., layering exterior house paint to create a saturated hometown portrait, earning a client's trust for bright orange-and-blue peacocks, experimenting on the wall to recreate coffee-watercolor texture, and wrestling with a human figure and one particularly stubborn set of hands inside a Denver restaurant. The recognition gave each artist fresh evidence that the risky idea, unfamiliar technique, or last-minute submission was worth following through.Eugene O'Neill, Sophie Groenstein, Julia Kenyon, Sydney Rae, and Sabah Bardhan are the artists behind five winning projects from Zibra's 2025 Golden Brush Awards. Their work spans large-scale community murals, portraiture, restaurant interiors, coffee-inspired realism, and a peacock-covered anniversary chest.Connect with the 2025 Golden Brush Award winners:Eugene O'Neill – Transformation of the YearIGWebsiteSophie Groenstein – Color CrushIGWebsiteJulia Kenyon – Vision to RealityIGWebsiteTikTokSydney Rae – Stroke of GeniusIGWebsiteFacebookMy Mural StudioSabah Bardhan – Detail DevotionIGWebsiteFacebookCreative finds:The 2025 Golden Brush AwardsMuralgartenSunny Dayz Mural FestivalMy Mural StudioA Quick Note from Zibra:
