In “The American Revolution,” a new six-part docuseries airing on PBS this week, filmmakers Ken Burns and Sarah Botstein take a deep look at the American Revolutionary War and the years before and after. They debunk many of the idealized myths we tell ourselves about the country's founding and the complex motivations of the men who championed independence. At once critical and patriotic, it examines America's history in ways the Trump administration would rather paper over. Kara, Ken and Sarah talk about the ways George Washington was both a deeply flawed man and integral to American victory in the war, how enslaved African Americans looked to the British for hope of freedom, and why it's unfair to paint all Loyalists to the British Crown as traitors. They also talk about why there's still a lot of reasons to find hope in America's origin story today.  Questions? Comments?

In this episode of The Story of a Brand Show, I sit down with the incredible twin sisters and co-founders of LouLou Lollipop, Angel Kho and Eleanor Lee.  From the very beginning, their story pulled me in—the handmade Etsy shop days, walking store to store in Vancouver with nothing but belief and a few samples, and the moment a total stranger at a Las Vegas trade show validated everything they had been working toward.  What struck me most was how deeply personal their journey is. Every product, every print, every decision is rooted in lived experience as moms trying to solve real problems for other parents. What unfolded in our conversation was an honest look at resilience, creativity, community, and the emotional reality of building a brand from scratch. Whether it was the joy of their "donut teether" taking off, the surprise of being contacted by a Nordstrom buyer, or their thoughtful approach to safety and sustainability, their passion is unmistakable. And hearing how their early supporters—from strangers to shop owners—helped shape the business reminds us that small acts of kindness can change everything. Here are some of the key moments from the episode: * The emotional impact of early validation—from a competitor at their first trade show and from the first boutique willing to take a chance on them. * How a simple, personal frustration as new moms sparked the idea for their first product: a safe, functional, beautiful teething necklace. * The role of pop-up markets, Etsy, and early Instagram collaborations—especially a pivotal moment when Thrifty Littles amplified their brand. * The unforgettable milestone of getting contacted by a Nordstrom buyer…and the disbelief that turned into their first major retail partnership. * Their thoughtful product evolution—from silicone teethers to award-winning sleep bags and meticulously designed muslin swaddles with playful, artful prints. Join me, Ramon Vela, as we listen to the full episode to hear the heartfelt, real, and inspiring journey behind LouLou Lollipop—and discover why their story resonates so strongly with parents around the world.

(00:00:00) Cosmic Beginnings and Stellar Discoveries: Unveiling the First Stars and Secrets of the Moon (00:00:47) Have astronomers finally seen the universe's first stars (00:04:06) Hidden secrets about the Moon and the asteroid Vesta (00:10:45) Euclid peers deep into a stellar nursery full of baby stars (00:16:05) The Science Report (00:18:09) Skeptics guide to flat earthers falling flat on their face again In this episode of SpaceTime, we uncover groundbreaking findings that could reshape our understanding of the universe's early stars, the Moon's hidden secrets, and the asteroid Vesta's internal structure.First Stars DetectedAstronomers may have finally glimpsed the universe's first stars, known as Population 3 stars, thanks to observations from NASA's Webb Space Telescope. These luminous giants, formed just 200 million years after the Big Bang, are believed to have ended the cosmic dark ages and initiated the epoch of reionisation. The episode delves into the significance of these findings, which suggest that these stars were formed in small clusters and exhibit extremely low metallicity, challenging previous theories about the early universe.Secrets of the Moon RevealedTwo NASA studies have provided fascinating insights into the Moon's internal structure through advanced gravity modelling. By analysing data from the GRAIL mission, researchers have created the most detailed gravitational map of the Moon to date, revealing variations linked to tidal deformation. This research offers clues about the Moon's geological history and volcanic activity, particularly highlighting differences between the near and far sides of the Moon.New Insights into Asteroid VestaIn a parallel study, scientists examined the asteroid Vesta's structure using data from NASA's Dawn spacecraft. Contrary to earlier beliefs of a layered interior, new measurements suggest Vesta may have a more uniform composition, with only a small core, if any. This revelation challenges long-held assumptions about the formation and evolution of this ancient asteroid.Euclid Space Telescope's Stellar Nursery ObservationsThe European Space Agency's Euclid Space Telescope has peered into the dark cloud LDN 1641, uncovering a vibrant stellar nursery filled with young stars. This segment discusses the significance of Euclid's observations, which not only aid in fine-tuning the telescope's capabilities but also contribute to our understanding of star formation and the cosmos.www.spacetimewithstuartgary.com✍️ Episode ReferencesAstrophysical Journal LettersNatureBecome a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/spacetime-your-guide-to-space-astronomy--2458531/support.

On today's episode, I talk to musician Marc Hollander. Born in Geneva, Switzerland right after WWII, Marc was raised in Brussels and started the band Aksak Maboul in 1977 when producer Marc Moulin commissioned him to write and record an album for his label Kamikaze. Aksak Maboul was one of the handful of bands that was part of the exclusive Rock In Opposition movement, and they produced two brilliant albums before going on hiatus in the early 1980s. In 1980, Marc founded Crammed Discs, which over the last 45 years has been one of the most interesting and eclectic independent labels in the world, releasing music from bands and musicians like Tuxedomoon, John Lurie, Fred Frith, Konono Nº1 and many, many more. In 2014, Marc ended the long Aksak Maboul hiatus by releasing the "lost" third album from the early '80s, and since then has made two further albums. Their latest, Before Aksak Maboul (documents & experiments 1969-1977), a collection that traces Marc's musical evolution from his first band at 19, Here and Now, up through the formation of Aksak Maboul, is out now, and it's a blast!

US-EU Space Regulatory Clash: The United States has formally opposed the European Union's proposed EU Space Act, arguing that its regulations could impose unfair burdens on American space companies. The act aims to establish a unified regulatory framework for Europe's space industry, focusing on safety, resilience, and sustainability. The US claims that certain provisions unfairly target large telecommunications satellite constellations, particularly SpaceX's Starlink, and calls for recognition of its existing licensing framework to avoid duplication.Revisiting a Mars Mistake: A significant scientific error from the 1970s is being re-evaluated as new findings reveal that NASA's Viking Lander mission mistakenly concluded Mars was lifeless. Originally, the absence of detected organic compounds led to this verdict, but it has now been established that organic compounds were indeed present. This has sparked calls for a new mission dedicated to the search for life on Mars, correcting decades of misconceptions.Launch Schedule Update: This week's launch schedule includes high-profile missions such as Blue Origin's new Glenn rocket, which is set to launch the Mars-bound Escapade payload on November 12. However, an ongoing US government shutdown has led to an emergency launch ban during peak hours, affecting several missions and pushing some to later dates.Tiangong Space Station's Dual Crew: China's Tiangong Space Station is currently hosting an unprecedented dual crew operation after the return of the Shenzhou 20 astronauts was delayed due to a suspected space debris impact. The Shenzhou 20 crew has been joined by the new Shenzhou 21 crew, creating a temporary six-member occupancy onboard as both crews conduct joint scientific experiments.New Insights into the Big Bang: A recent study suggests that the universe's earliest moments were more dynamic than previously understood. Researchers propose that during a brief period, dense clouds of particles dominated over radiation, leading to the formation of primordial black holes. This discovery may provide new insights into the dark history of the universe and its structure.For more cosmic updates, visit our website at astronomydaily.io.

After saying farewell to Vladi Nowakowski in last week's episode, Detlef Schlich stays in the 1980s — walking again through the creative streets of Cologne-Nippes, where art, chaos, and hope lived side by side.He recalls the Schuhfabrik on Merheimerstraße 202, once an industrial space turned into studios and lofts by an architects' consortium including Wolfgang Felder, where a whole artistic microcosm emerged around the Fabrik-Café.It was there, amid the smell of coffee, sawdust, and rain, that Detlef performed his song “Wir stehen im Regen” for the first time — a song born from loss, solitude, and the rhythm of survival.Later produced by Dieter Kirchenbauer, the song became part of his journey from broken beginnings to creative rebirth.This episode is a portrait of Nippes as more than a place — a rehearsal for everything that came after.“Everyone in Nippes lived inside a rehearsal — we just didn't know what for.”Detlef Schlich is a rock musician, podcaster, visual artist, filmmaker, ritual designer, and media archaeologist based in West Cork. He is recognised for his seminal work, including a scholarly examination of the intersections between shamanism, art, and digital culture, and his acclaimed video installation, Transodin's Tragedy. He primarily works in performance, photography, painting, sound, installations, and film. In his work, he reflects on the human condition and uses the digital shaman's methodology as an alter ego to create artwork. His media archaeology is a conceptual and practical exercise in uncovering the unique aesthetic, cultural, and political aspects of media in culture.WEBSITE LINKS WAW Official YouTube Channelhttps://www.youtube.com/@WAWBand"The Niles Bittersweet Song" WAW BandcampSilent NightIn a world shadowed by conflict and unrest, we, Dirk Schlömer & Detlef Schlich, felt compelled to reinterpret 'Silent Night' to reflect the complexities and contradictions of modern life.https://studiomuskau.bandcamp.com/track/silent-nightWild Atlantic WayThis results from a trip to West Cork, Ireland, where the beautiful Coastal "Wild Atlantic Way" runs along the whole west coast!https://studiomuskau.bandcamp.com/track/wild-atlantic-wayYOU TUBE*Silent Night Reimagined* A Multilayered Avant-Garde Journey by WAW aka Dirk Schlömer & Detlef Schlichhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dAbytLSfgCwDetlef SchlichInstagramDetlef Schlich ArTEEtude I love West Cork Artists FacebookDetlef Schlich I love West Cork Artists Group ArTEEtudeYouTube Channelsvisual PodcastArTEEtudeCute Alien TV official WebsiteArTEEtude Detlef Schlich Det Design Tribal Loop Download here for free Detlef Schlich´s Essay about the Cause and Effect of Shamanism, Art and Digital Culturehttps://www.researchgate.net/publication/303749640_Shamanism_Art_and_Digital_Culture_Cause_and_EffectSupport this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/arteetude-a-podcast-with-artists-by-detlef-schlich/donations

On today's episode, I talk to journalist and writer David J. Roth. Raised in Ridgewood, New Jersey, David started out his writing career writing and editing content for the backs of Topps trading cards. This led to writing for The Wall Street Journal's sports blog, co-founding and editing his own sports blog The Classical, and contributing to Vice and The Baffler, as well as many other publications. In 2017, David became an editor-at-large at Deadspin, and two years later, he and the entire writing and editorial staff resigned, protesting major editorial interference from the private equity holding company that had bought the publication. The following year, David and a number of the other former Deadspin writers formed Defector Media, one of the exciting new worker-owned journalism companies, and in the last five years, it has become one of the most well-regarded sites online. In addition to all of this, David also hosts the wonderful Defector podcast The Distraction. This is the website for Beginnings, subscribe on Apple Podcasts, follow me on Twitter.

One iced coffee, a foggy brain, and a brave truth: I'm closing The Selfish Sisterhood. Not because it failed. Not because I'm quitting. Because my intuition is loud enough to ask for space, and I finally stopped gripping something beautiful that no longer fits the season I'm in.We go deep on what a “nine year” feels like—a season of endings that clears the runway for a fresh “one year.” Whether you believe in numerology or just love a solid framework, this lens is surprisingly practical. I look back to 2016, the last one year when I started sharing online, tried new paths, and planted seeds that became this podcast. That reflection helps me accept why change hits harder now: I'm older, I'm a new mom, and I tied a lot of identity to what I built. Letting go feels like rewriting who I am, which is why it's taken so long to tell you.If you've ever broken up with a “good” thing, you'll get it. The community is thriving and kind. The systems are clean. The women are extraordinary. And still, my gut says the season is complete. I share the small rituals helping me hear that inner voice—journaling at nap time, five-minute meditations, a simple deck pull to focus—and how to make one honest move instead of waiting for the mythical perfect moment after the holidays. We talk grief without drama, hope without hype, and the courage to choose a simpler path in a world that celebrates burnout.This conversation is for anyone standing at a threshold: career changes, new motherhood, starting over, or just sensing a quiet shift you can't yet name. If your hands are tired from holding, consider loosening the grip with me. This or something better is on the other side.If the message landed, follow, share, and leave a review so more people can find their own brave release. Then tell me: what chapter are you ready to close?Thank you for listening to Self(ish) Confidence!

Each band she formed saw a little more success than the last, and her breakthrough was the group Uzi in 1984. They only stayed together for a short time though, and she next joined the New York no wave band Live Skull, who stayed together until 1990. From their break-up until 2001, Thalia was in the band Come, which she formed with Codeine's Chris Brokaw; in their time together, they released four acclaimed records on Matador, and since then, she's been performing as Thalia Zedek Band. They've released nine albums, mostly on Thrill Jockey, and her latest The Boat Outside Your Window was just released in May of this year. On November 14th, Dromedary Records will release the lost EP of Via, Thalia's other Live Skull-era band, and it's a delight!

作为全世界可能是最知名的科学奖项，诺贝尔奖的江湖地位毋庸置疑。但它的知名度为何会远远超出其他专业大奖？深究一下，就会发现这其实不是一个科学问题，而是一个品牌问题。诺贝尔奖建立在炸药巨富阿尔弗雷德·诺贝尔的遗产之上，最初颁发时它的卖点主要还是丰厚的奖金额度。但随着时间的推移，它的奖项设置、评选思路、遗产的管理方式，以及历代得主带来的光环效应，都让诺贝尔奖逐渐变得厚重，也让它的影响力像投资一样，有了复利效应。虽然对于国家和科研机构而言，诺贝尔奖是最佳的实力指标之一，但对于普通人来说，每年的诺贝尔奖更像是一种谈资。当然，这种谈资本身也能进一步扰动周边市场，比如出版行业和博彩业。本期节目，我们就尝试从品牌的视角，重新审视诺贝尔奖。| 主播 |肖文杰、约小亚| 时间轴 |00:55 诺贝尔奖，一个另类品牌02:59 诺贝尔奖的缘起和早期优势08:53 诺贝尔奖的长期优势和影响力积累17:02 一百多年还没发完的诺贝尔奖奖金28:28 得了诺奖，作家的书就能卖得更好吗？33:17 到底是谁在定诺贝尔文学奖的“赔率”？| 延伸资料 |The Nobel Prize and the Making of a Heritage BrandThe Atlantic-Why Does Anyone Care About the Nobel Prize?The Beginnings of the Nobel InstitutionThe Sveriges Riksbank Prize in Economic Sciences in Memory of Alfred NobelVol.134 诺贝尔奖与“性别之战”The Nobel FoundationThe Nobel Prize – Stockholm Design Lab跟着诺奖基金会学投资丨晚点小数据Reuters-Nobel cuts prize money after years of overspendingMatched control groups for modeling events in citation data: An illustration of nobel prize effects in citation networks界面新闻-拿到诺贝尔文学奖，书能多卖几本？Bloomberg-How to Bet Money on the Nobel Prize in LiteratureWall Street Journal-A Mystery Trader Scored With Prescient Bets on the Nobel Peace Prize《商业就是这样》鼓起勇气开设听友群啦。欢迎添加节目同名微信，加入听友群，一起讨论有意思的商业现象。微信号：thatisbiz为了营造更好的讨论环境，我们准备了两个小问题，请在添加微信后回答：1，你最喜欢《商业就是这样》的哪期节目？为什么？2，你希望听到《商业就是这样》聊哪个话题？期待与你交流！| 后期制作 |刘大哭| 声音设计 |刘三菜| 收听方式 |你可以通过小宇宙、苹果播客、Spotify、喜马拉雅、网易云音乐、QQ 音乐、荔枝、豆瓣等平台收听节目。| 认识我们 |微信公众号：第一财经 YiMagazine联系我们：thatisbiz@yicai.com

Financial Planning Inspired by Divorce Dr. Nick opens up about his family's financial struggles after his parents' divorce, and how those early hardships shaped his mission to become a financial planner. Watching his mother juggle multiple jobs gave him the drive to help others avoid similar pain. Having walked through divorce myself, I connected deeply with his story and the importance of financial clarity during life's toughest moments. The Power of Compounding and Clear Goals We also talk about redefining financial priorities and how even small, consistent steps add up through the magic of compound interest. Dr. Nick recalls being introduced to the concept at 16 by a golf course owner named Rex—an experience that ultimately launched his career in finance. Lessons from the Golf Course Our conversation turned to the lessons you can pick up from unexpected places—like working at a golf course. For me, it was a front-row seat to observe how wealthier individuals handled themselves, and a reminder that humility in tasks like picking up garbage can lead to life-changing opportunities. Mindset and the Success Journey Mindset is everything. Dr. Nick and I discussed how money matters, but intentional living and meaningful relationships are what create lasting fulfillment. We explored the balance between career satisfaction, financial stability, and well-being—emphasizing that true success isn't measured solely in dollars. Aligning Happiness with Financial Goals One of the biggest takeaways from our conversation is that happiness looks different for everyone. Aligning your financial plan with your unique values and goals is essential. Dr. Nick warned about the trap of social media comparisons, reminding us that joy doesn't come from external approval but from understanding what really matters to you. Rethinking Retirement We also unpacked modern retirement. It's no longer about quitting work altogether—it's about creating space for consulting, passion projects, or part-time work. Both Dr. Nick and I agree that knowing yourself and planning ahead can help avoid impulsive decisions and ensure a fulfilling later chapter in life. Understanding Financial Values Through Reflection Dr. Nick's book is designed to help readers identify their strengths, weaknesses, and money stressors through reflection. By connecting financial strategies to core values, readers can create a more intentional and fulfilling financial plan. He even offers a free downloadable chapter on compounding at richbychoicebook.com. I strongly encourage you to grab it, dive into the exercises, and start clarifying your own path to financial freedom. Dr. Nicholas Michels knows what it's like to start with nothing. Growing up in a trailer park, he charted an extraordinary journey — becoming a professional athlete, bestselling author, and one of the most trusted voices in wealth and life planning. As Founder of Michels Family Financial and creator of the Rich by Choice movement, Nicholas has spent more than 20 years guiding thousands toward lasting stability, confidence, and peace of mind. His approach goes far beyond spreadsheets — blending behavioral psychology, faith-based principles, and practical financial strategies to help families design lives rooted in purpose and values. Before launching his firm, Nicholas played professional basketball overseas and earned elite credentials including CERTIFIED FINANCIAL PLANNER™ and CERTIFIED PRIVATE WEALTH ADVISOR®. Today, his Amazon bestselling book Rich by Choice has inspired readers worldwide, and his voice has been featured in major media as a passionate advocate for financial literacy, mindset growth, and values-driven success. Signature Speaking Topics: Financial Happiness: Why peace matters more than portfolio size The $8 Million Lesson: Walking away from the deal that didn't align with the mission Marriage & Money: Turning conflict into deeper connection If you're looking for a conversation that inspires action, challenges old money stories, and leaves people empowered to build wealth and a meaningful life — Nicholas delivers every time.

Things are crazy in these streets, but what if you kept your head and didn't move too much to the left and are perfectly positioned for the melt-up that is about to happen?   I am still on a journey and celebrate different cultures and history as this bigoted world tries to erase other cultures. I want to highlight the beauty without cultural appropriation.  Twin's Destiny Continues as I highlight Kochou's journey in her adoptive Japanese family in South Korea.

The Vicious Cycle: He embodies the "Black Male Foolishness" label by perpetually being the subject of damaging rumors (sliding into DMs, questionable finances) and then, when confronted, acting like the victim of an unfair interrogation. The ultimate, comedic absurdity is that Lateshia, the most successful networker on the show, is consistently held back by a man who views his primary job as defending his honor in an argument that only exists because he keeps giving people valid reasons to doubt it. He's the anchor tied to Lateshia's yacht, and he seems to be enjoying the ride.

1. Childhood Trauma and Theatrical Beginnings Scott Eyman Charlie Chaplin versus America: When Art, Sex, and Politics Collided The discussion focuses on Chaplin's traumatic Victorian childhood, particularly the haunting memory of receiving only an orange for Christmas at the Lambeth Workhouse. His father died of alcoholism, and his mother struggled with mental illness. Chaplin's brother, Sydney, took charge of young Charlie and eventually secured him a job with the famous Fred Carno comedy company, launching Chaplin's theatrical career. 1915

On today's episode, I talk to musician Gina Birch. Originally from Nottingham in the UK, Gina formed the seminal art-punk band The Raincoats with Ana da Silva in 1977. They released three incredible records on Rough Trade - self-titled, Odyshape and Moving - and then broke up in 1984. But this was merely the start of Gina's artistic career. She worked with Red Crayola, formed the band Dorothy, became a filmmaker and music video director, reunited with Ana to support Nirvana on tour and subsequently make another album as The Raincoats, and of course, record music under her own name. Her first solo album I Play My Bass Loud came out in 2021, and her latest Trouble was just released on Third Man Records, and it's great!
