Iran and Oman appear to have reached a tentative agreement over the Strait of Hormuz, but is it a genuine diplomatic breakthrough or simply a pause in a much larger geopolitical conflict? At the same time, Europe is grappling with renewed migration pressures in Ceuta and record-breaking heat that underscores the growing political and economic consequences of climate change. Host Giles Whittell is joined by Adam Cancryn (CNN), Shona Murray (Euronews), and Kim Willsher (The Observer) to connect these stories and explore what they reveal about the shifting global landscape. The panel examines President Trump's approach to Iran, the strategic importance of the Strait of Hormuz, and the potential impact on global energy markets. They also discuss Europe's response to increasing migration, the political tensions within the European Union, and the ways climate-related disasters are becoming central to policy debates. Together, they explore how international crises increasingly shape domestic politics, influence elections, and test alliances across Europe and the United States. From energy security and border policy to climate resilience and transatlantic relations, this episode provides the context behind the headlines and explains why these interconnected challenges will continue to shape global affairs in the months ahead.

Things get extra sweet (and delightfully unpredictable) as Lisa and Allison turn their attention to the world of junior bakers in this charming Kids Bake Off–inspired episode. With smaller hands and big imaginations at work, the stakes may be lower — but the creativity is sky-high.Lisa and Allison revel in the joyful chaos that only kid-led baking can deliver, from wildly ambitious ideas to decorating choices that follow absolutely no rules (and that's exactly the point). There's plenty of laughter, aww-worthy moments, and genuine admiration for the confidence and creativity these young bakers bring to the table.Lighthearted, heartwarming, and just a little bit chaotic, this episode is a reminder that baking is supposed to be fun — even if it gets messy along the way. So grab a sprinkle-covered treat and settle in for an episode that's as wholesome as it is entertaining.

Megan chats with Cheryl Norris about what the transition from corporate employee to full time blogger really looks like and how to navigate it with purpose. Cheryl Norris is the founder of the Bakes by Brown Sugar baking blog, where she specializes in baked goods for the homebaker. She combines her technical background as a mechanical engineer and self-taught baker to write detailed recipes and explain the baking science behind her recipes. She lives in Porltand, OR with her husband. She recently left her full time job and now operates her food blog full time. In addition to her business, Cheryl loves to travel. Her favorite city is Paris, but her favorite food country is Japan. She also loves to read and is always up to learning something new. Cheryl's story is raw, honest, and deeply helpful for anyone dreaming of going full time. She walks through the emotional and logistical challenges of leaving a 37 year career, the mindset shift that changed everything, and the systems that helped her step into entrepreneurship with clarity instead of chaos. This conversation is a roadmap for anyone craving freedom but unsure how to get there. Key points discussed include: Be the driver in your own transition: Learn how Cheryl reclaimed control during layoffs and turned fear into clarity. Know your numbers before you leap: She breaks down the financial reality that helped her make a confident decision. Plan your first 90 days intentionally: Hear how a transition roadmap reduces stress and brings direction. Write your own job description: Understand your role, hours, and expectations the same way you would in any company. Create an ideal week you can stick to: Build structure so your time expands your work rather than swallows it. Expect the emotional dip: Cheryl names the "pit of incompetence" and why it is a normal part of leveling up. Use systems that support your brain: Learn why tools like ClickUp or a simple planner can be the difference between drifting and momentum. Remember why you started: Returning to the love of baking helped Cheryl find joy and energy again. Connect with Cheryl Norris Website | Instagram

Today's episode is all about Detroit sandwich culture, community, and the power of sharing good food with good people. I'm joined in studio by Carlos Parisi, the mind behind Sandwich Week, for a wide-ranging conversation on where to find great sandwiches across the region – and how those places help you make real-life connections, not just grab lunch and go.​ 02:24 - Honoring Greg Mudge We start by remembering the late Greg Mudge of Mudgie's, whose new honorary street sign that went up over the weekend recognizes just how much he did to shape Detroit's modern restaurant and bar scene. Carlos shares personal stories about Greg as a mentor, community builder, and straight shooter who helped countless businesses get off the ground and pushed people to be better.​ 05:55 - 10 Rapid-fire sandwich takes Then I put Carlos through 10 rapid-fire sandwich questions, starting with the eternal "Is a hot dog a sandwich?" (he says no, emphatically). We get into toasted vs. untoasted bread, mayo vs. mustard, pickles, diagonal vs. straight cuts, fries and chips on the sandwich, bologna nostalgia, and why texture, temperature, and proper "shredduce" (shredded lettuce) make or break a great bite.​ 15:37 - Sandwich Week 2025 preview and schedule From there, we dig into Sandwich Week 2025, running December 26–31 in its 12th year. Carlos walks through the schedule:  Friday, Dec. 26 – Mudgie's (12–3 p.m.): Kicking things off where so much started, with the Uncle Carlos sandwich back on the menu.​ Saturday – Vesper Books & Wine (12-3 p.m.): A first-ever Sandwich Week pop-up with Ayiti Spaghetti​ Sunday – Ladder 4 (12-3 p.m.): Wild, creative sandwiches from one of the top spots in the country, plus that off-the-beaten-path wine-bar vibe.​ Sunday night – Dakota Inn Ratskeller (ticketed dinner, 6 p.m.): A 15-foot sandwich built on a giant table in the newly revived basement German wine bar! Plus sides, Aunt Nee's chips and salsa, and two drinks with your ticket.​ Monday – Rocco's (12-3 p.m.): A must-visit Italian market stop with art between two slices of bread.​ Tuesday lunch (12–3 p.m.) – Tall Trees: Ferndale's small-but-mighty cafe, with obsessive attention to thoughtful sandwiches.​ Finale – Batch Brewing (6 p.m.): Closing things out under the big tent with a special smoked-meats sandwich lineup and a big community raffle with concert tickets, gift cards, and more from businesses across Metro Detroit. There are also a number of sidequests with deals at Gonella's, Pietrzyk  Pierogi, JP's Makes and Bakes, Last Chance Saloon, Bev's Bagels.

Send us a textIn this episode Dan visits Tin Barn for their Friendsgiving event. Dan talks to Scott, Lauren, Dale, and Rich of Tin Barn about the event and some of the new beers they debuted for the event - one collab with Bakes and one with District 96, Lost Tavern, and Twin Elephant. They talk about the event itself which featured a taplist that included beers from Other Half, RAR, EQ, and many other breweries.Later on Tim and Cindy of Twin Elephant join the conversation as well as Andrew of District 96. We talk about the beer industry and the importance of friends in having a successful brewery. Tim talks about how Twin Elephant was one of the first breweries to use Eggers hops and shares some stories about Eggers that most people probably don't know.Later in the episode, we talk about some of the major releases of the past week - Kane's ANTEAD set and Cantillon's fall package as well as Oakflower's anniversary offerings.

“We knew from the beginning we wanted to be that third space” — that's how April Anderson, owner of Good Cakes and Bakes, breaks down why her organic bakery on Livernois is more than a storefront, it's a whole ecosystem. In this on-location Detroit is Different conversation, April and Khary sit in the middle of fall rush and neighborhood kids' events to unpack what it really takes to build and keep a Black business alive for 12 years on the Avenue of Fashion, the largest African American–owned business corridor in the country. She talks about the community that “showed up for us from day one and stayed with us through COVID,” and what it meant to fight through busted zoning rules, missing inspectors (“FBI came and shut down BSEED”), and a streetscape project that almost killed half the block. April gets honest about the tightrope of Black entrepreneurship in Detroit — trying to “work on the business and not just in the business,” learning that “money isn't the motivator, people want to feel valued,” and figuring out how to keep staff paid when ingredients, labor, and everything else keep going up. She breaks down the joy and tension of working with family (“my mom had to listen to the manager too”), what she's learning from fearless Gen Z employees who question everything, and why she refuses to chase Instagram trends that don't fit her Southern-rooted story: “It has to connect with me and our story, or I'm not doing it.” Tied to the long line of Black Detroit shops that held neighborhoods together and looking ahead to who comes after her, April issues a challenge to any business thinking about moving onto Livernois: talk to the people first, bring what the community actually needs, be consistent, and know that “this neighborhood will support you—but they will hold you accountable.” Detroit is Different is a podcast hosted by Khary Frazier covering people adding to the culture of an American Classic city.
