Rachel Hochhauser joins us to discuss her debut novel, Lady Tremaine, a reimagining of Cinderella told from the perspective of its most misunderstood figure. This week, we're stepping back into a story we think we know, and turning it inside out. Rachel Hochhauser joins us to talk about her debut novel, Lady Tremaine, a bold and lyrical reimagining of Cinderella told from the perspective of its most misunderstood figure. Together, we explore what it means to reclaim a villain, the power structures embedded in fairy tales, and the quiet, often invisible labor of women navigating survival in a world that offers them very little protection. This conversation is full of trivia, with fascinating tidbits about falcons to reimagining the hinges of one of our favorite fairy tales. In this fascinating conversation, we explore:

Ernest Hemingway (1899-1961) was one of the most famous American writers of the twentieth century. His plain, economical prose style--inspired by journalism and the King James Bible, with an assist from the Cezannes he viewed in Gertrude Stein's apartment--became a hallmark of modernism and changed the course of American literature. In this episode, Jacke and Mike take a look at an author and novel, The Sun Also Rises (1927), they've been reading and discussing for decades. Want more Hemingway? We took a new look at an old argument in Episode 47 Hemingway vs Fitzgerald. Love everything about the Lost Generation? Spend some time with the coiner of the phrase in Episode 127 Gertrude Stein.

Climate concern is not the problem. Most people have it. What's missing is everything that turns concern into action - and understanding that gap turns out to be a lot more complicated than it looks.This week, Christiana Figueres, Tom Rivett-Carnac and Paul Dickinson sit down with Lorraine Whitmarsh, Professor of Environmental Psychology and Director of the Centre for Climate Change and Social Transformations at the University of Bath. Together they dig into the psychology behind catastrophe apathy: why understanding an existential threat doesn't always lead to action, and what the research says actually moves people.Lorraine shares real-world evidence - including renewable energy tariffs that shifted 90% of customers onto green power simply by making it the default - and explains why trusted everyday messengers, from hairdressers to taxi drivers, employers to community figures, often have more influence than expert voices in reshaping what feels normal.The conversation also revisits an uncomfortable history: how the personal carbon footprint, popularised by BP in the early 2000s, reframed climate responsibility around individual choices rather than systemic change. A framing so powerful that even environmental organisations adopted it. Who benefited most from that shift is a question the movement is still grappling with.If systemic change requires public consent, and public consent requires political will, and political will requires behaviour change - how do you break the climate Catch-22?With thanks to the University of Bath.Learn More:

Whether we're working at a desk in an office, running a marathon or even asleep in bed, our bodies are host to thousands of chemical processes that are continually converting the food we eat into energy and repairing our bones, muscles and organs. Collectively these processes are known as the metabolism. But how are they affected by our genes, lifestyles and diet, and what can we do to make sure everything stays running smoothly? In this episode, we're joined by Javier Gonzalez, a professor of nutrition and metabolism based at the University of Bath. He breaks down the links between our metabolisms and body types, tells us why our metabolisms aren't necessarily fixed for life, and explains why it's almost impossible to out exercise a poor diet if you're looking to drop a few kilos.

Les Wexner, the longtime founder and chief executive of L Brands—the retail company that once owned Victoria's Secret and Bath & Body Works—began stepping back from day-to-day leadership amid mounting scrutiny over his connection to Jeffrey Epstein. In February 2020, after nearly six decades at the helm, Wexner announced he was resigning as CEO of L Brands and transitioning to chairman emeritus, as the company pursued a restructuring that included selling a majority stake in Victoria's Secret to private equity. Although company statements framed the change as part of a broader corporate evolution, it came against the backdrop of growing public criticism of Wexner's long friendship and financial relationship with Epstein, who had once served as his personal advisor and money manager.Wexner's departure from operational leadership was followed by further distancing from the company: in March 2021, both he and his wife, Abigail, announced they would not seek reelection to L Brands' board of directors, effectively ending his formal role in governance after nearly six decades. While Wexner and his representatives have repeatedly denied that his resignation was directly caused by the Epstein controversy, critics and some investors saw the timing and cumulative pressure over the Epstein ties—and internal culture criticisms at Victoria's Secret—as key factors in his exit from the company he built.to contact me:bobbycapucci@protonmail.comBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/the-epstein-chronicles--5003294/support.

Good Sunday to you,Geoffrey Chaucer wrote The Canterbury Tales in around 1400, and it is considered one of the first great works of English literature.Try reading it today and you might question the “English” part. Here're the opening lines:Whan that Aprille with his shoures soote,The droghte of March hath perced to the roote,It does not get much easier.Canterbury Tales is the story of group of pilgrims who walk from Southwark to Canterbury Cathedral. I have done the pilgrimage myself and I would urge you to as well. The structure is quite simple. To pass the time, the pilgrims have to a storytelling contest and so each tells his or her tale. There are around thirty pilgrims - in effect, thirty professions, and so we get the Knight's Tale, the Miller's Tale, the Wife of Bath's Tale and so on.Here is the interesting part. Since the story was written in 1400 we have had, off the top of my head, the printing press, the Agricultural Revolution, the Industrial Revolution, steam power, fossil fuels, the internal combustion engine, electricity, aviation, nuclear power, computers, the internet, smartphones and now artificial intelligence.And yet, if you look the list of characters below, every single one of Chaucer's professions still exists in some recognisable form today.You could go all the way back to the dawn of civilisation and argue the same thing. We still have farmers. We still have merchants. We still have lawyers, doctors, religious people, soldiers, landlords, craftsmen, entertainers, administrators and hustlers.AI will change the nature of the job, but it will not erase the underlying human needs that created it.Machines put many farm labourers out of work at the turn of the 19th century, but they also generated enormous productivity, which created new industries and new jobs, and, it's worth noting, productivity which enabled us to be able to ban slavery. The net result was not mass permanent unemployment but rising prosperity.What Actually ChangesWhat does get destroyed is power structure.Feudalism has gone. The Church no longer dominates European politics - not the Christian Church, anyway. Guilds have faded. The landed aristocracy has all but gone. In their place we have the modern State, bureaucracy, multinational banks, global corporations, Big Tech, Big Pharma, the mainstream media and so on.AI is more likely to erode existing hierarchies than to eliminate work altogether. It will compress middle layers. It will reduce friction. It will concentrate power in some places and decentralise it in others.If you live in a third world country such as the UK, I urge you to own gold or silver. The pound will be further devalued, as will the euro and dollar. The bullion dealer I recommend is The Pure Gold Company. More here.The winners are likely to include: platforms, energy producers, owners of scare assets, large scale infrastructure, those who control distribution. AI is already being used in manufacturing, agriculture and mining, but so much to replace jobs as to increase productivity. You can't help feeling the physical economy is a better place to be than parts of the digital - at least for now, though I guess robots are next if those Chinese videos doing the rounds are anything to go by.Who else wins? AI and machine learning engineers, obviously, certain content creators, those who get good at prompting will find it useful for anything from medicine to plumbing to consultancy.The losers will be among those whose job is mainly to control access to or verify information that AI can now do instantly. Think: interpreters and translators, proofreaders and editors, coders, copywriters and journalists, graphic designers, sales reps, basic financial advisors. I think long-distance drivers' days are numbered too.The work doesn't disappear but the pricing power and margins collapse.Legacy media distribution - not the content creators themselves, but the distribution gatekeepers who controlled which creators reached audiences. Publishers who mainly performed filtering rather than editing, talent agencies for routine work, certain music labels.The job may technically exist but the power and economics drain away.Chaucer's Cast, ModernisedFinally, below is Chaucer's professional cross-section of medieval England.

Darrell Castle talks about the continuing saga of Jeffrey Epstein and what that saga means for the relationship between the global ruing elite and the people. Transcription / Notes EPSTEIN AND THE DESTRUCTION OF TRUST Hello, this is Darrell Castle with today's Castle Report. This is Friday the 20th day of February in the year of our Lord 2026. I will be talking about the continuing saga of Jeffrey Epstein and what that saga means for the relationship between the global ruling elite and the people. Yes, folks we are faced with a moral dilemma today and that dilemma is what to do when we find out that the ruling elite of the West, not just America but the West has completely abandoned the moral bedrock upon which the whole system is based. Western Civilization also known as Christian Civilization is based on a system of moral principles and if those principles are adhered to by everyone the system works and we can pass it on to our offspring. Now that entire belief system has been turned upside down and destroyed and that is of great concern to me. The elite, and I will call them that for lack of a better word, but hopefully you know what I mean by that term. The elite know that their power is also based on moral authority which they don't even believe exists. Their goal is to keep us from learning of their complete moral depravity because that might mean the end of their privileged and protected lives. The elites understand that once their complete amorality is understood by the masses, the West, and especially America, loses its façade of moral superiority that has always anchored our lives. Their fear is that if they have no moral authority and we know it why should we have any. When that cynicism flows downhill and infects the general population there is nothing left to hold us together. The sad and destructive part of all this is that we know for certain that it is not just a few very sick individuals as we have been led to believe but it goes much deeper than that. No, this pedophilia, to use a polite word, is a systematic, organized, and ritualized practice. These networks could only exist when backed by deep institutional protection. Political, police, judicial, and media, all cover for and protect them on a global scale. These recent revelations have led people to believe that the entire system is rigged against them. They see their lives as akin to a sporting event in which the refs play for the other side and the goalposts are constantly moved. They believe their country and the West have been stolen by a few super rich individuals who get further and further ahead because they have gamed the system while the rest of us fall further and further behind. This all paints the picture of a rupture between the ruling elite and the people. People have seen the level of horror that the files have revealed so far and they know that is only about half of it. They know in their hearts that elections will no longer solve their problems if they ever would. The level of distrust and anger among the people is and should be bipartisan. I am not the only one to see this picture because the ruling elite understand it as I do and they are a little afraid right now. Their reaction is foot dragging, redactions, and lies about the files. The other day Pam Bondi said that we have seen the final release and there won't be anymore and so we are moving on from this. Well, no Pam we are not moving on from this no matter how much you would like to. If you are ordered to redact the files and keep them hidden then honor, if there is any left, requires you to resign. I also heard the DOJ say that if these files were released unredacted it might cause the collapse of the system. Well, that's a chance I am willing to take to clean the system because allowing it to continue as is simply cannot happen. The administration seems to be taking the approach of trying to say OK folks we've been transparent and there's nothing else to see here so move on. This is just a few sick individuals but we know them so that's it. Humpty Dumpty, in other words as in the old nursery rhyme. I don't think it will work here any better than it did hundreds of years ago. Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall Humpty Dumpty had a great fall All the king's horses and all the king's men Couldn't put Humpty together again. No, this system is broken and everybody knows it. The distance between the ruling elite and the people grows wider each day. In recent decades the economy has been changed or rigged if you prefer toward a debt-based financialized economy at the expense of the American dream. This has happened across the West as the system after the fall of the Soviet Union believed the thousands of years of nation states was at an end. From 1991 on the world would be a globalized trading bloc based on commerce rather than war and defense. It didn't work and all it seemed to accomplish was to destroy the poor and hollow out the middle class who were the backbone of the American dream. Just base everything on debt and worry about the interest later but huge cracks appeared in that system. Off shoring of manufacturing left nations dependent for critical resources such as antibiotics in the complete control of adversaries. Now, after seeing the total depravity in the files we realize who our leaders really are. How can we be really sure of anything anymore. What is so fantastic is or was the belief that it can't be believed or so depraved would never have happened. Would you believe me if I told you that Epstein was murdered by the very people on whose behalf the blackmail was committed. What if I told you that he is still alive as a lot of evidence points too. Jimmy Dore on his podcast the other day put forward a lot of evidence that he is still alive. Evidence such as a guard saying a transport van took him away on a day they normally didn't move prisoners and a day before he supposedly died. What about the director of the FBI and his top assistant telling Congress that he committed suicide when there is a lot of video evidence that he didn't. Is it hard to believe that people who would rape a six-year-old child and worse commit murder to cover it and to allow their sadistic and depraved circle to continue. We have some important names worth mentioning such as Les Wexner, founder of Victoria's Secret, Bath and Body Works, Abercrombie and Fitch, and La senza among others. He is also suspected of connections with Massad. He gifted Epstein a $70 million mansion in Manhattan and a 7000 plus acre ranch in New Mexico among other things. He is now an unredacted co-conspirator but he said he was conned and just didn't know. Richard Branson of Virgin Group (catchy name huh) which has Virgin Records, airlines, trains and other things. He once emailed Epstein and said he could be there if Epstein brought his harem. Too many other horrific things to mention but a lot and I mean hundreds of emails with code words such as beef Jerky, pizza and grape soda, Tinkerbell which is the name Jes Staley former CEO of Barclay's Group used for one of his victim. Oh, and I forgot Snow White, another big one. U.S. prosecutors are looking at Staley for rape and causing great bodily harm. Andrew Windsor, the former prince was arrested yesterday so perhaps those who are facing prison will talk about the rest, we'll see. Finally, folks, we know some of who they are and some of what they have done and they know that we know but they also believe they are protected in their satanic ritual attacks on our children. From Hollywood to boardrooms to the great capitals, they seem to be corrupt, demonic, and satanic in ways we just couldn't comprehend until now. At least that's the way I see it, Until next time folks, This is Darrell Castle, Thanks for listening.

Leslie Wexner, the retail magnate behind Victoria's Secret and Bath & Body Works, faced intense questioning from the US House Oversight Committee about his years-long relationship with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Wexner insists he was "duped by a world-class con man" who stole millions, but a controversial 2008 note and accusations of being a "secondary co-conspirator" suggest a closer connection. Law&Crime's Jesse Weber has some of the biggest moments from Wexner's deposition.PLEASE SUPPORT THE SHOW: Take your personal data back with Incogni!

Jim and Lauren dive into the late-80s Sears exclusive Disney World Town Square replica - the ambitious “starter set” that promised Main Street magic at home just as Disney Stores began popping up in malls nationwide. Lauren's Valentine's gift to Eric sparks a deep dive into one of the most fascinating Disney retail experiments of the 1980s: the Sears-exclusive Walt Disney World Town Square replica. Jim explains how this surprisingly elaborate playset - complete with bendable Mickey and Minnie figures and optional upgrades like working streetlights and a smoking train - was born out of a major licensing deal between Sears and The Walt Disney Company.

Kitchen Revolution: Elevating Kitchens and Baths for Lifestyle, Wellness, and Technology. Designers and innovators discuss how kitchens and bathrooms have transformed into lifestyle-focused, wellness-oriented, and tech-savvy spaces, shaping the homes of today's discerning clients. From pandemic-driven shifts to smart appliances, spa-like bathrooms, and open-concept living, this panel explores the evolving demands of homeowners and the strategies designers use to balance aesthetics, function, and innovation. 1. Introduction Host Virzine Hovasapyan, Experience Director of Marketplace of Innovation for Pacific Sales, introduces the panel and sets the stage: kitchens and baths are no longer purely functional—they are deeply personal lifestyle environments. Emphasis on the convergence of beauty, comfort, and smart technology to meet wellness-focused and tech-savvy client needs. 2. Panel Introductions Karen Rideau, Kitchen Design Group: three decades of experience, expanding from kitchen and bath to full interior architecture. Holly Hollenbeck, HSH Interiors: bi-coastal firm specializing in remodels and new builds, high focus on kitchen and bath. Lori Hafele, Hafele Design: luxury cabinetry-focused design, hard surfaces specialist. Pam Barthold, Poziom Designs: national remodels, holiday decor focus, wellness integration. 3. Pandemic and Post-Pandemic Shifts Kitchens evolving into living spaces for family interaction and entertaining. Movement from segmented to open-plan living; the kitchen is now the “heart of the home.” Rise of furniture-like cabinetry and hidden storage to maintain aesthetic beauty. 4. Collaboration Between Designers and Showrooms Importance of collaboration between designers, manufacturers, and showrooms. Need for continuous education on appliance and technology innovations (steam ovens, microwaves/air fryers, modular units). Designers as knowledge bridges for clients. 5. Wellness in Kitchen and Bath Bathrooms now spa-like: steam showers, infrared saunas, cold plunges. Kitchens adapting for wellness-conscious lifestyles: beverage centers, accessible hot water, herb gardens, indoor/outdoor cooking integration. Efficiency for tech-savvy clients: proximity solutions, outdoor entertaining, smart layout adjustments. 6. Technology Integration Challenges of over-technology vs. simplicity: balancing clients' desire for tech with usability. AI and digital inspiration may introduce non-buildable concepts; designers interpret and adapt. Circuit breaker capacity and smart appliance integration considerations. Strategies to educate clients and ensure the right technology fits their lifestyle. 7. Translating Client Dreams into Practical Design Process includes space planning, 3D renderings, vendor collaboration, and creative problem-solving. Importance of editing ideas to fit space and budget. Budget discussions start early; expectations around pricing, lead times, and custom millwork. 8. Setting Expectations & Discovery Use of robust client questionnaires to uncover lifestyle, wellness, and usage patterns. Managing timelines, trades, and supply chain realities. Addressing dual-client decision-making and educating clients on care and maintenance of appliances and materials. 9. Audience Q&A Highlights Managing open-plan kitchens and sound/visual separation through back kitchens, secondary prep spaces, and innovative layouts. 10. Key Takeaways Kitchens and bathrooms are now multifunctional lifestyle spaces, blending aesthetics, wellness, and technology. Collaboration, client discovery, and education are critical for successful design. Designers balance aspirational visions with practical realities to deliver functional, beautiful, and personalized homes.

Alan Byrne, Product Leader for Mozilla's Firefox extensions ecosystem, argues that the best product work is less doctrine and more judgement. In conversation with LRandy Silver, he breaks down why prioritisation frameworks like RICE and MoSCoW often masquerade as science while quietly embedding subjectivity—and why he prefers writing clear “what and why” statements over chasing false precision.From his experience at QuickBooks and Twitter, Alan explores when PRDs are genuinely valuable (complex systems, high risk, trust and safety concerns) and how to keep them lean enough to stay useful. The discussion also digs into the tension between moving a metric and doing right by users, the dangers of gamifying growth, and how product managers can translate customer problems into narratives that align engineers, executives, and sales.Chapters03:30 Product as philosophy04:41 Studying product vs learning in the field07:25 The real job: understand users and their “why”08:21 Why prioritisation frameworks often fail in practice10:58 Decision-making without false precision13:14 Goal-led roadmaps and narrative alignment14:22 Metrics, ethics, and avoiding gamification traps18:35 When PRDs help, and how to keep them lean22:37 Prototyping, vibe coding, and where it falls apart25:14 Communication, compromise, and working documents27:36 Preventing overbuild and defining “good enough”30:39 Handling “can't you just…” from sales and marketing33:28 What Alan wishes he knew five years ago34:49 Explaining product management to non-product peopleOur HostsLily Smith enjoys working as a consultant product manager with early-stage and growing startups and as a mentor to other product managers.

In this episode of the Scottish Property Podcast, we're joined by Adam Newlands, a 26-year-old accountant who rebuilt his finances and went on to build a 13-property portfolio after losing £30,000 in his early 20s.Adam shares a brutally honest account of how chasing “rent-to-rent” opportunities in England — influenced by online algorithms and high-profile property education — led to financial losses, compliance issues and hard lessons. But instead of quitting, he regrouped, refocused on Aberdeen, and built a sustainable business through deal sourcing and disciplined investing.This is a powerful conversation about resilience, accountability and why local knowledge always beats hype.

As fans of the novel know, Frankenstein began with a flash of insight during an ill-fated holiday near Geneva in the summer of 1816, when the young woman then known as Mary Godwin contributed the modern-day Promethean tale to the ghost stories being shared by married lover Percy Shelley and their friends Lord Byron and John Polidori. A few months later, the nineteen-year-old Mary (who would eventually become Mary Shelley) arrived in Bath, hiding from London's gossipmongers and determined to work on her burgeoning novel. The next four months proved to be an incredible mix of chaos and creation for Mary and the people closest to her. In this episode, Jacke talks to poet and biographer Fiona Sampson (In Search of Mary Shelley: The Girl who Wrote Frankenstein) about the new book Mary Shelley in Bath, which documents the short yet influential time that Mary Shelley spent in the historic literary city. PLUS D.G. Rampton, Australia's Queen of the Regency Romance, stops by to discuss her choice for the last book she will ever read.

Fluent Fiction - Hungarian: Steam and Reconciliation: Rebuilding Bonds at Széchenyi Bath Find the full episode transcript, vocabulary words, and more:fluentfiction.com/hu/episode/2026-02-16-23-34-02-hu Story Transcript:Hu: A fürdők gőzölgő vize hullámzott csendesen.En: The steam-filled waters of the baths rippled gently.Hu: A Széchenyi Gyógyfürdő grandiózus épülete átölelte a látogatókat, mintha meg akarta volna védeni őket a dermesztő téltől.En: The grand building of the Széchenyi Gyógyfürdő embraced the visitors, as if wanting to protect them from the biting winter.Hu: Odabent Julianna türelmetlenül nézte az órát.En: Inside, Julianna impatiently watched the clock.Hu: Hosszú évek teltek el a testvére, István távolmaradása óta.En: It had been many years since her brother, István, had been absent.Hu: Julianna úgy érezte, most jött el az ideje, hogy rendezzék a múltat.En: Julianna felt that the time had come to settle the past.Hu: A családi viszályok sok fájdalmat okoztak az évek során.En: Family feuds had caused a lot of pain over the years.Hu: Mindig a múlton rágódtak, s nem azzal foglalkoztak, mi fontos igazán.En: They always dwelled on the past, rather than focusing on what truly mattered.Hu: Julianna izgatott volt, de egyben szorongott is; vajon sikerülni fog megérteniük egymást?En: Julianna was excited but also anxious; would they be able to understand each other?Hu: Amint Julianna a medencébe lépett, a vízbe csúszva érezte, ahogy a meleg kitölti a lelkét.En: As Julianna stepped into the pool, sliding into the water, she felt the warmth fill her soul.Hu: A fürdő békességet árasztott, de a gondolatai viharosak maradtak.En: The bath exuded peace, yet her thoughts remained stormy.Hu: István nemsokára érkezett, mellette pedig Zoltán, a fiatalabb unokatestvérük, aki mindig is közel állt mindkettőjükhöz.En: István would soon arrive, alongside Zoltán, their younger cousin, who had always been close to both of them.Hu: Zoltán volt az összekötő a családi béke szálain.En: Zoltán was the one who wove the threads of family peace.Hu: — Szia, Julianna! — kiáltott István zsibongva.En: — Hi, Julianna! — István shouted exuberantly.Hu: Hosszú idő óta ez volt az első alkalom, hogy látják egymást, és a fürdő párás levegője egyszerre volt nehéz és könnyednek tűnő.En: It was the first time they were seeing each other in a long while, and the misty air of the bath felt both heavy and light.Hu: — Szia, István! Szia, Zoltán! — Julianna próbálta leplezni izgatottságát, de a mosolya mindent elárult.En: — Hi, István! Hi, Zoltán! — Julianna tried to conceal her excitement, but her smile revealed everything.Hu: Beszélgettek az elmúlt időkről, a gyerekekről, az életük kisebb-nagyobb mindennapjairól.En: They chatted about the past times, the children, and the small and big everyday happenings of their lives.Hu: Minden könnyednek tűnt, de Julianna érezte, hogy eljött az idő a fontos beszélgetésre.En: Everything seemed light, but Julianna felt the time had come for the important conversation.Hu: — István, tudom, hogy nem volt mindig könnyű köztünk — kezdte el halkan Julianna.En: — István, I know it wasn't always easy between us — Julianna began quietly.Hu: — De szeretném, ha megbeszélnénk a régi bántásokat. Mindkettőnknek hiányzott a másik az évek során.En: — But I would like us to discuss the old hurts. We both missed each other over the years.Hu: István sóhajtott, és a víz simogatását érezve elmondta, hogy ő is érzett hasonlóan.En: István sighed, feeling the caress of the water, and shared that he had felt similarly.Hu: — Mindig arra vágytam, hogy összetartsunk. Nem értem, miért engedtük, hogy a múlt ennyire befolyásoljon minket.En: — I always yearned for us to hold together. I don't understand why we let the past influence us so much.Hu: A párás levegőben a szavak elillantak, és Julianna érezte, a jég megtörik.En: In the steamy air, the words evaporated, and Julianna felt the ice breaking.Hu: Hosszú ideig beszélgettek, meghallgatták egymást, és megértették a másik fájdalmát.En: They talked for a long time, listened to each other, and understood each other's pain.Hu: Zoltán boldogan figyelte, ahogy a testvérek közötti falak leomlanak.En: Zoltán happily watched as the walls between the siblings crumbled.Hu: Volt valami különleges ebben a téli napban, amikor a hideg szél elfelejtődött, és csak a család melege maradt.En: There was something special about this winter day, when the cold wind was forgotten, and only the warmth of family remained.Hu: Végül mindhárman a medence szélén üldögéltek, a napközbeni fények táncoltak körülöttük.En: Eventually, all three of them sat at the edge of the pool, with the midday lights dancing around them.Hu: Julianna rájött, hogy néha a legnagyobb erővel az jön, ha megnyitod a szíved.En: Julianna realized that sometimes the greatest strength comes when you open your heart.Hu: A kapcsolatuk újraépülőben volt, és Julianna hálás volt ezért a napért.En: Their relationship was being rebuilt, and Julianna was grateful for this day.Hu: A fürdők gőze nemcsak testüket, hanem lelküket is gyógyította.En: The steam of the baths healed not only their bodies but their souls as well.Hu: — Most már tudom, milyen fontos a család — mondta Julianna, mosolyogva.En: — Now I know how important family is — said Julianna, smiling.Hu: A gőzölgő fürdő vize tükörként szolgált, amiben végre tisztán láttak mindannyian.En: The steaming waters of the bath served as a mirror in which they all finally saw clearly.

Aida Wang is a top-billing legal recruiter at Just Legal who specialises in private practice placements for bengoshi (Japan-qualified lawyers). With a unique background as a professional translator and interpreter between English and Mandarin Chinese, Aida brings a fresh perspective on bridging communication gaps - not just between languages, but between lawyers and law firms.Aida shares practical advice on deal sheets, career planning, and why speaking to a recruiter from day one of your legal career journey in Japan can change your career trajectory.If you enjoyed this episode and it inspired you in some way, we'd love to hear about it and know your biggest takeaway. Head over to Apple Podcasts to leave a review and we'd love it if you would leave us a message here!In this episode you'll hear:The critical importance of creating and maintaining a deal sheet from day one of your careerWhy you should speak to a recruiter early in your career, not just when you're actively lookingThe biggest misconception about Japanese bengoshi lawyers How Aida helps candidates and clients create compelling stories to help find a perfect matchAbout AidaAida Wang is a Tokyo-based legal recruiter specialising in Bengoshi (Japan-qualified lawyer) searches for private practice, with a particular focus on supporting  associates and counsels as they navigate the critical transition points in their legal careers.Currently a Principal Consultant at Just Legal, Aida works with both Japanese and international law firms, recruiting Japanese Bengoshi and foreign-qualified attorneys across a wide range of practice areas. She is known for her thoughtful, relationship-driven approach and for offering market insight that goes well beyond simply filling roles. In her first quarter at Just Legal, Aida quickly made her mark as a top biller which is a reflection of her proactive mindset, deep preparation, and ability to truly understand both candidates and clients.Before moving into legal recruitment, Aida spent over a decade working as a Chinese–English freelance translator and interpreter, including roles in media, film, and news translation. This earlier career laid the foundation for what has become a defining theme of her professional life: bridging gaps - between languages, cultures, expectations, and ultimately, legal careers. Her background in interpreting gives her a rare ability to listen carefully, read between the lines, and translate what lawyers want into what the market is really asking for.Aida holds a Bachelor's degree from National Chengchi University in Taiwan, along with a Master's degree in Interpreting and Translation from the University of Bath in the UK. She has also completed Japanese language studies at Keio University. Having lived and worked in Taiwan, the Bahamas, the United States, the UK, and Japan, she brings a genuinely global perspective to her work. She is a native speaker of Mandarin and English, with business-level Japanese, and regularly supports cross-border legal careers in the Japanese market.Through her conversations with Bengoshi across multiple practice areas, Aida frequently hears one recurring challenge: how to develop clients and bring in work before holding a partner title. This insight shapes much of her advisory work with senior associates who are thinking carefully about long-term career sustainability, visibility, and progression within private practice.Outside of work, Aida enjoys cooking and crafting with her eight-year-old son, a creative counterbalance to her professional life that reflects the same curiosity and care she brings to her career.Connect with AidaLinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/hsinyuaidawang/ Just Legal: https://www.justsearchgroup.com/justlegal/consultants/aida-wang LinksAfternoon Tea: https://www.afternoon-tea.net/ Connect with Catherine LinkedIn https://www.linkedin.com/in/oconnellcatherine/Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lawyeronair
