    In this episode, Rebecca and Shaun cover everything from skunk-induced wake-up calls to the realities of private equity in the design industry—before diving deep into the creative growing pains that come with leveling up your interiors. If you've ever felt burnt out on tile, uninspired by beige beds, or frustrated that nothing “off the rack” feels special enough, this one's for you.The big takeaway? Not every piece in a room can be the Beyoncé—but you do need at least one showstopper. Rebecca shares her current tile spiral, Shaun vents about the sea of neutral beds, and together they unpack why customization (even in small ways) is often the difference between basic and brilliant.In this episode they discuss:The recent acquisition of The Expert by Havenly—and what it signals about private equity's growing influence in the interior design worldFeeling creatively boxed in by your own standards (aka: when you've trained clients to expect “cool tile” every time)The struggle to source interesting, textured, and affordable tile that doesn't feel overdone or Instagram-familiarWhy most beds on the market feel painfully beige—and how to push upholstery vendors toward better, more customized solutionsSmart ways to customize without going fully bespoke (split finishes, special applications, COM, trim details, and reupholstering standard pieces)The value of handling complex details—like hardware specifications and mixed finishes—to prove your worth as a designerRebecca's evolving brand pillars: cool, collected, layered, lived-in, and delightfully different—and how they function as a creative filterThe core philosophy: not every piece can be the Beyoncé, but every piece deserves intention—and at least one moment in the room must steal the showMentioned:The Expert – https://www.theexpert.comHavenly – https://havenly.comNorwalk Furniture – https://www.norwalkfurniture.comFireclay Tile – https://www.fireclaytile.comZia Tile – https://www.ziatile.comDovetail –

    Let us know what you enjoy about the show!What's behind the headlines—and what happens when purpose, presence, and generosity quietly shape the biggest opportunities?In this episode, I'm joined by tap-dance powerhouse sisters Chloe and Maud Arnold—creators, choreographers, educators, entrepreneurs, and the visionary force behind Syncopated Ladies, the all-female tap ensemble that has amassed over 100 million views online. Their work has traveled to more than 30 countries, with appearances on The Ellen Show, Good Morning America, The Kelly Clarkson Show, and So You Think You Can Dance—and recognition from cultural icons including Beyoncé, Whoopi Goldberg, Shonda Rhimes, and Janet Jackson.But this conversation isn't about the highlight reel.It's about the humans behind the headlines—and the small, deeply human choices that often create the biggest turning points. Chloe and Maud share how major breakthroughs have come through everyday acts of care: giving a friend a ride, making space for someone who needs to be included, and leading with mission rather than image.We talk about:Why “being present” is a performance skill—and a life skillThe “make it until you make it… and keep making it” mindset (and the early projects nobody saw)Rejection, resilience, and staying open without getting bitterIdentity, excellence, and the power of being raised with the message: you already belongWhat it means to choose your standards—and protect your energy—while staying generous and groundedThis one is an invitation to slow down, remember what matters, and honor the unseen moments that shape a life.As STOPTIME: Live in the Moment approaches five years of conversations (almost six!), I'm revisiting and re-sharing a few favorite episodes—conversations that continue to resonate and meet us exactly where we are. This one felt especially worth returning to.Thank you for listening—and for being part of this journey.— Lisa

    Is veganism in its flop era?There was a time when veganism – or plant-based food – seemed to be in ascendency: from the early 2010s when Beyoncé adopted a plant-based diet to its height in 2020, when the retail market for plant-based meat made over a billion dollars in sales. And then… things started getting a little more… meaty. From protein-maxxing to the new food pyramid, the culture seems to have shifted. But what does the plant-based food flop era say about our culture, how we think about our food, and how we feel about our future? Special guest host Danielle Kurtzleben, NPR political correspondent, discusses with writer Rachel Sugar, who wrote a piece on the boom and bust of veganism for New York Magazine, and Mark Bittman, long-time food journalist and former New York Times columnist who has written about veganism since the early 2010s.Support Public Media.

    The episode opens with a dramatic look at Ray J’s recent Valentine’s Day performance, where fans were shaken after seeing what appeared to be blood dripping from his eyes as he performed with a heart monitor strapped to his chest. Recent reports note that Ray J has publicly shared serious heart issues—including his heart functioning at only 25%—and footage from the show intensified concern as viewers questioned whether the moment was a medical emergency or theatrical staging. The conversation then shifts to Beyoncé facing online scrutiny after the daughter of her longtime stage manager alleged he was dismissed after more than 20 years of service and received no severance, sparking heated discussions about loyalty, worker protections, and the realities of entertainment‑industry labor dynamics. From there, the show highlights Megan Thee Stallion’s glamorous 31st birthday, where she was surprised with a baby‑blue Bentley reportedly worth around $200,000, gifted by her boyfriend Klay Thompson—an eye‑catching moment that dominated entertainment headlines and social media feeds. The episode closes on an inspiring note as Jaden Smith outlines his long‑term dream of opening a permanent building on Skid Row to provide free daily meals, a continuation of his “I Love You” initiative aimed at feeding and supporting L.A.’s unhoused community, with plans extending beyond food to job creation and community upliftment.

    This episode of The Other Side of the Bell, featuring trumpet performer and recording artist Kyla Moscovich, is brought to you by Bob Reeves Brass. This episode also appears as a video episode on our YouTube channel, you can find it here: "Kyla Moscovich Trumpet Interview" And, find the expanded show notes, transcript and more photos here   At a year old she had a trumpet in her hands, and she hasn't looked back since!   Kyla Moscovich has built a burgeoning career that bridges classical, jazz and pop music, performing concerts all over the world and, more recently, developing her studio skills as well, on Grammy-nominated records.   She has studied with Vincent Penzarella, Mark Gould, Laurie Frink and Tom Smith, was mentored by Jon Faddis, and was on stage at Carnegie Hall while still in her teens.   Kyla's father was close friends with Bob Reeves, and so her potential and trajectory was apparent around the shop from very early days. But, as we talk about today, the trumpet was not necessarily an automatic pursuit.   Kyla struggled to balance the expectations of practice and studying music with friends and normal kid activities, as any kid would, and we talk about what it was like growing up in that kind of environment, making the "jump into adulthood" earlier than most of us have.   Our conversation today is a fascinating glimpse into how to build a modern career in the music industry playing trumpet, not to mention how to pursue your own musical tastes, and forge a path that's true to you.   About Kyla Moscovich: Growing up in New York City, Kyla got her training from the Manhattan School of Music, studying Orchestral Performance and Arranging.   After graduating with her undergraduate degree, she quickly entered into the studio space where she began writing, recording, and arranging, while taking her knowledge of harmony and sound and applying it to her unique musical fingerprint, which can be heard on many world renowned records. Now based in Los Angeles, multi Grammy nominated writer/arranger Kyla has become one of the most sought-after horn producers, collaborating with artists such as J. Cole, Drake, Beyoncé, Kanye West, Victoria Monét, Céline Dion, Diana Ross, and more.   Episode Links: Website Instagram @kyla_moscovich Kyla on Just For The Record   Bob Reeves Brass Upcoming Events and Appearances: Dillon Music, Feb. 26-28, Woodbridge, New Jersey sales@dillonmusic.com National Trumpet Festival, March 20-22, University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA https://trumpetmouthpiece.com/products/national-trumpet-competition-valve-alignment-special Metropolitan Music, April 10-11, Seattle, WA https://calendly.com/bobreevesbrass/metropolitan-music-valve-alignment-appointment  Arkansas Trumpet Day, April 18th, Arkansas State University, Jonesboro, AR   Podcast Credits: "A Room with a View" - composed and performed by Howie Shear Podcast Host - John Snell Cover Photo Credit - Courtesy Kyla Moscovich Audio Engineer - Ted Cragg

    Taganistas may know Lil Internet from his music videos (Beyoncé, Diplo), his high-concept DJ mixes, or his ever-present voice on Twitter. Since 2017 his main focus has been New Models – a website, podcast and active Discord.But the reason we asked Lil Internet to join us on No Tags is his latest music project – a brand new, rule-based genre he's calling gencore. Showcased across two mixes released in 2024 and 2025, gencore is completely AI-generated from Udio. More controversially, Lil Internet proposes that gencore marks an evolution – or maybe even the endstate – of the hardcore continuum.Obviously this was catnip to us. We spent a great hour with Lil Internet talking about the AI music landscape, how Udio's quirks give AI music ‘soul', moral boundaries and Bandcamp's AI ban.And for the first 30 minutes of the show, we each pick a Winter Olympics sport, compare our gunmanship, and offer some recommendations – including Otto Benson, 6amsunset and They Are Gutting a Body of Water.We do No Tags for the love, but if you enjoy the show and want to show a little love back, you can do so for £5 per month.

    Settler Colonialism is the Disaster: A Critique of New Orleans After Hurricane Katrina and During the COVID-19 Pandemic (U Illinois Press, 2026) is the new book from Dr. Cassandra Shepard, Assistant Professor in the Department of African American and Diaspora Studies at Xavier University of Louisiana. Published with University of Illinois Press, this encompassing and engrossing book focuses on the crises that have engulfed New Orleans, including the disasters of colonialism, Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and COVID-19, taking the reader through their causes and impacts on not only a broad level but through the everyday and often traumatic experiences of the residents of New Orleans. The analysis moves from the Lower Ninth Ward in New Orleans, to state-level post-disaster reconstruction contracts, to international forms of colonialism, and even encompasses Beyonce. This book, which is also includes poetry and a recommended playlist, is also very relevant to the current global moment. Shepard analyses the overlapping and intersecting disasters that have affected New Orleans through ideas of disaster capitalism and settler colonialism, demonstrating how Black and Indigenous peoples have been deprived of critical resources. The reconstruction processes following, and during, these crises have often sought to exploit the authentic New Orleans culture and vibrancy to further the consolidation of power, profit, and privilege of white elites, to the detriment of Black and Indigenous peoples. Shepard's book, Settler Colonialism is the Disaster, takes a multi-scalar view of settler colonialism and investigates how it has not only operated historically in New Orleans, but clearly demonstrates that it is a continual process that still determines reconstruction, relief, and other projects today. Shepard connects the ongoing violence and dispossession inherent in settler colonialism within New Orleans, expressed through structural responses to Hurricane Katrina and COVID-19, to other settler colonial projects around the world, such as in Canada, Israel, New Zealand, and Australia. Cassandra Shepard's new book is an exceptional, theoretically and empirically rich book that offers a new critique into ‘best practice' reconstruction, which demands attention. Settler Colonialism is the Disaster offers an urgent, critical view of the political economy of reconstruction, aid, and government responses; a view which is crucial to take seriously in our world today, plagued as it is by crisis, war, and settler colonialism. Elliot Dolan-Evans is a sessional lecturer in law at Monash University and RMIT. His research investigates the political economy of global capitalism, forms of international governance, and questions of war and peace.

    Settler Colonialism is the Disaster: A Critique of New Orleans After Hurricane Katrina and During the COVID-19 Pandemic (U Illinois Press, 2026) is the new book from Dr. Cassandra Shepard, Assistant Professor in the Department of African American and Diaspora Studies at Xavier University of Louisiana. Published with University of Illinois Press, this encompassing and engrossing book focuses on the crises that have engulfed New Orleans, including the disasters of colonialism, Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and COVID-19, taking the reader through their causes and impacts on not only a broad level but through the everyday and often traumatic experiences of the residents of New Orleans. The analysis moves from the Lower Ninth Ward in New Orleans, to state-level post-disaster reconstruction contracts, to international forms of colonialism, and even encompasses Beyonce. This book, which is also includes poetry and a recommended playlist, is also very relevant to the current global moment. Shepard analyses the overlapping and intersecting disasters that have affected New Orleans through ideas of disaster capitalism and settler colonialism, demonstrating how Black and Indigenous peoples have been deprived of critical resources. The reconstruction processes following, and during, these crises have often sought to exploit the authentic New Orleans culture and vibrancy to further the consolidation of power, profit, and privilege of white elites, to the detriment of Black and Indigenous peoples. Shepard's book, Settler Colonialism is the Disaster, takes a multi-scalar view of settler colonialism and investigates how it has not only operated historically in New Orleans, but clearly demonstrates that it is a continual process that still determines reconstruction, relief, and other projects today. Shepard connects the ongoing violence and dispossession inherent in settler colonialism within New Orleans, expressed through structural responses to Hurricane Katrina and COVID-19, to other settler colonial projects around the world, such as in Canada, Israel, New Zealand, and Australia. Cassandra Shepard's new book is an exceptional, theoretically and empirically rich book that offers a new critique into ‘best practice' reconstruction, which demands attention. Settler Colonialism is the Disaster offers an urgent, critical view of the political economy of reconstruction, aid, and government responses; a view which is crucial to take seriously in our world today, plagued as it is by crisis, war, and settler colonialism.

    It's awards season - and one name that keeps cropping up is Teyana Taylor.She's nominated for her first Oscar, for her role in One Battle After Another, and has already won the Golden Globe for Best Supporting Actress and her latest album was just nominated for the Best R&B Grammy.For many, it would appear Taylor has burst on to the scene from nowhere - but for those who know her, these nominations are the culmination of more than two decades of work in the industry.Signed at just 15 to Pharrell's record label, appearing in a Jay-Z music video and choreographing a dance for Beyonce, her early years in New York's Harlem weren't exactly the usual teenage experience.Her 16th birthday was immortalised on the small screen as part of MTV's My Super Sweet Sixteen series, before she released her first record and began acting. Now a mother-of-two, Taylor has released four albums to date, starred in her own reality TV series and will make her directorial debut next year.So, as Hollywood prepares for the award's night of the year, Stephen Smith examines how she got here.Production Team: Presenter: Stephen Smith Producers: Keiligh Baker and Katie Solleveld Production Coordinators: Maria Ogundele and Gemma Ashman Sound: James Beard Editor: Justine LangArchive: MTV The Golden Globes Warner Bros E!

    Once the fervor around Charli XCX's 2024 album “brat” had cooled, the singer was approached to make a documentary about the tour—a practice that's been embraced by the likes of Taylor Swift and Beyoncé. But Charli, who has built her brand in opposition to mainstream expectations, instead released “The Moment,” a tongue-in-cheek satire about the pressures stars face to milk career highs like “brat summer” for all they're worth. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz consider “The Moment” alongside both the sanitized documentaries it mocks and other artists' attempts to subvert the form. Many of these projects promise genuine insight into their subjects, but what they actually show is the increasingly delicate balancing act of “authentic” celebrity. “It is really hard to both reveal and conceal at the same time,” Fry says. “To invite the fan in—but not in a way that feels unsafe, or that could get you cancelled, or could make you sell less, or could make you unloved.”See Critics at Large live: the hosts will be discussing “Wuthering Heights” onstage at the 92nd Street Y on February 19th.

    Joe and Robert return for a wide-ranging, deeply opinionated episode that somehow manages to cover neighbor hookups, diva worship, Los Angeles transplant culture, gay mentor lore, and the most divisive judging moment of the season—before they even get to the Drag Race recap. After a lengthy and very on-brand tangent on soda loyalty, Speedo sightings, and whether it's ever wise to hook up with someone in your own building, the conversation shifts into pop-culture devotion and the idea of “diva worship,” with Joe and Robert unpacking why neither of them has ever fully subscribed to the Beyoncé-or-Gaga-as-religion mindset—and why disagreeing with a fandom can feel like heresy. The discussion turns political as they compare celebrity worship to political hero worship, drawing parallels between Drag Race stans, pop divas, and modern political infallibility narratives. From there, they dive into Los Angeles discourse: who gets to call themselves an Angeleno, why transplants often hate the city they moved to, and how saying “the PCH” immediately gives you away. Eventually, they do get to Drag Race Season 18, Episode 6, breaking down the fan outrage surrounding the Raider Queen twist, alliances, and strategic gameplay. Robert argues that viewers are missing the point by treating Drag Race like a merit-based competition, while Joe asks the most important question of all: would the outcome have actually changed no matter how the placements were shuffled? They discuss Mikey's polarizing lip sync reception, Athena Dion's unapologetic embrace of strategy over talent, and why Athena—intentionally or not—has become one of the most compelling personalities of the season. Robert shares a truly unhinged (and unforgettable) story from his early gay years that perfectly explains his affection for hyper-dramatic, self-serious queens. The episode closes, naturally, with an unexpected deep dive into gay porn archiving practices, flash drives, spreadsheets, vintage aesthetics, and why sometimes 1080p really is a human right—before Robert announces a brief retreat into the forest and Joe questions whether anyone truly misses their siblings. Chaotic, reflective, and hilariously off-the-rails, this episode is classic RulaskaThoughts: the Drag Race recap that refuses to stay on topic—and is better for it.

    This week, legendary Christian rapper Trip Lee tells us about his unexpected move into worship music with his new album. Before that, the crew swaps stories from last week's historic winter storm—Emily survived three days without power in freezing temps and Jesse narrowly avoided going to a fun Orlando Magic game with Cameron.In RELEVANT Buzz, we break down Jelly Roll's powerful Grammy acceptance moment, plus the youngest Grammy winner at just eight years old. We also dive into new research showing the vast majority of people want authentic faith representation in TV and movies, and then Emily previews two interesting new shows: Jury Duty Season 2's unexpected premise and Neighbors, HBO and A24's reality series about strangers forced to live together.Plus, Jesse announces his new podcast Target Intelligence: Psyop and Derek plugs his brand-new show, You Can't Say That in Church. Jesse of course brings his most rewatched video of the week: a Medieval Combat League warrior armed with a real axe who keeps targeting opponents from behind with hilarious headshots. Then in SLICES we cover Miami's iguana apocalypse—dinosaurs falling from trees as residents collect them by the armload (and definitely aren't disposing of them properly).And to close it out, it's Super Bowl week, so we're playing a special edition of "One Has to Go" covering everything from iconic Super Bowl commercials and halftime show moments to game-day snacks and controversial performances. Spoiler: mozzarella sticks do not survive Jesse's hot take.Highlights:00:00 — Intro & Winter Storm Survival Stories07:43 — RELEVANT Buzz08:00 — Jelly Roll's Powerful Grammy Acceptance Speech11:27 — Eight-Year-Old Becomes Youngest Grammy Winner in History12:33 — New Study: 92% of Viewers Want Authentic Faith in TV & Movies16:37 — Jury Duty Season 2 Preview: Hot Sauce Company Chaos18:00 — Neighbors: HBO and A24's New Reality Series24:00 — Medieval Combat League Axe Warrior Goes Viral31:09 — Trip Lee 32:00 — Why Trip Lee Made a Worship Album After Years in Hip-Hop35:00 — Trip Lee on Being a Teaching Pastor and Collaborating With Worship Leaders37:00 — SLICES: Miami's Iguana Apocalypse43:30 — Super Bowl Edition: "One Has to Go" Game45:53 — Iconic Super Bowl Commercials (Doritos, Tide, QR Code)46:21 — Controversial Super Bowl Ads (GoDaddy, Carl's Jr., Axe)47:04 — Super Bowl Snacks Face-Off (Doritos, Lay's, Pringles)47:30 — Soda Showdown (Coke, Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, Mountain Dew)48:00 — Jesse's Mozzarella Stick Hot Take Sparks Chaos49:31 — Halftime Show Showdown (Lady Gaga, Bruno Mars, Beyoncé)50:01 — Most Controversial Halftime Moments (Nipplegate, Dancing Sharks)50:52 — Halftime Props (JLo's Pole, Usher's Skates, Dr. Dre's Lowrider)Advertising Inquiries: https://redcircle.com/brandsPrivacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy
