What happens when you spend your whole life chasing your dreams, only to realize peace was the real success all along? Five years after their first conversation, Jay sits down in person with global icon Priyanka Chopra Jonas for a deeply intimate and unfiltered dialogue about evolution, identity, motherhood, and the courage to begin again. What unfolds isn’t just a reflection on career milestones or public success, it’s a story about slowing down after decades at full speed, choosing peace over pressure, and realizing that the greatest luxury in life isn’t achievement, but time. Priyanka opens up about the ambition that defined her early years, dominating Bollywood, pivoting to Hollywood at the height of her success, and always chasing the next opportunity. In this season of her life, something has shifted. Marriage, motherhood, and hard-won self-awareness have softened the edges of perfectionism and control. Priyanka speaks candidly about feeling “cornered” at pivotal moments, moving continents during one of the darkest periods of her life, and rebuilding from the ground up in a new industry. Through therapy, faith, and the steady presence of her husband Nick, she’s learned to ask a powerful question: Is this thought constructive? In a world that celebrates hustle, Priyanka is learning to celebrate stillness. The most profound transformation, however, came with the birth of her daughter, Malti Marie, a journey marked by fear, fragility, and fierce devotion. Priyanka shares the emotional reality of welcoming a premature baby into the world, the long months in the NICU, and the moment her priorities shifted forever. It was a season that changed how she understood strength, not as control, but in letting go and protecting what matters. Through faith, family, and a steady commitment to her partner, Priyanka’s grown not just as an artist navigating industries, but as a woman more at ease with who she is and where she’s headed. In this interview, you'll learn: How to Pivot Careers Without Losing Yourself How to Stop Being So Hard on Yourself How to Handle Public Criticism Without Breaking How to Communicate Feelings Before Jumping to Solutions How to Trust the Timing of Your Life How to Protect Your Peace in a Noisy World How to Stay Grounded Through Trauma and Uncertainty How to Choose Gratitude Over “What If” Thinking Choosing family won’t cost you your dreams. Slowing down won’t erase your ambition. Keep going, keep growing, and most of all evolve on your own terms.

Next month she stars on the West End stage, coming back to the role of Jessica Parks, the maverick judge at the heart of the National Theatre's hit play Inter Alia, also filmed for NT Live screenings. She joined Anita Rani to discuss her role that explores motherhood, masculinity and the complexities of justice.It's more than a decade since Nadiya Hussain became a household name after winning the Great British Bake Off. Since then, she's fronted her own cookery shows, written more than a dozen cookbooks and a series of children's books.

Another two were found guilty of attempted rape and a further two were found guilty of sexual assault. Dominque had drugged Gisèle with medication without her knowledge, raped her and invited other men to rape her, filming as they did so. At least another 20 men who took part in these rapes could not be identified. Waving her right to anonymity, Gisèle Pelicot declared that shame has to change sides. Despite her becoming a household name, not only in her native France but around the world, very little was known about Gisèle herself. She has written her memoir, A Hymn to Life, with writer Judith Perrignon and Judith joins Nuala McGovern to discuss.Dr Punam Krishan is a Glasgow based NHS GP and the resident doctor on the BBC's Morning Live programme.

But six months ago, at the age of 42, she was diagnosed with breast cancer, and has since gone through treatment.

Dr Punam joined Anita to discuss.Ketamine has become a worryingly popular recreational drug among young people, and the consequences can be devastating.

To discuss the implications, Anita was joined by Dr Alison Downey, Consultant Urologist at Mid Staffs NHS Foundation Trust, who is treating young people with ketamine related bladder problems. Also joining them is Eva, who has stopped using ketamine and is receiving support from the hub.The award-winning internationally renowned Welsh harpist and composer Catrin Finch first came to prominence in her early 20s as the official Royal Harpist to King Charles, the-then Prince of Wales.

Greg Jenner is joined in twentieth-century America by Dr Hannah Thuraisingam Robbins and comedian Desiree Burch to learn all about singer and Hollywood actress Lena Horne. Born into a middle class Black family in New York, a young Lena Horne soon followed in the footsteps of her actress mother and made her début at the famous Cotton Club aged only 16. After making her name as a singer and performer – and following the end of her tumultuous first marriage – Horne transferred to the west coast and bagged a Hollywood contract with MGM. There, she appeared in a number of classic films, including Stormy Weather and Cabin in the Sky. Over the next several years, she would also perform for the troops in the Second World War, fall in love with and marry a white composer and arranger, undertake an international tour, and become one of the most popular nightclub performers of the post-war era. But the racism of segregation-era America would also shape and limit the career of the woman known as ‘the first Black pin-up girl', eventually leading her to the civil rights movement and Black activism in the 1960s. This episode traces Lena's journey from young dancer to Hollywood star and renowned vocalist, along the way exploring her connections with figures including Billie Holliday and Martin Luther King Jr., and the injustice she spent so much of her career fighting against. If you're a fan of the history of cinema, mid-century America, and Black cultural icons, you'll love our episode on Lena Horne. If you want more musical icons with Desiree Burch, listen to our episodes on Paul Robeson, Josephine Baker, and Broadway Musicals.

Our guest today is the choreographer Sonia Sabri – dance changed her life, and now she uses it to change others. Sonia grew up in Wolverhampton, UK, in a traditional Indian family. Unusually her parents supported her dancing: her dad hoped she might conquer Bollywood, but instead, she devoted herself to kathak, which helped her withstand disapproval and bullying. Alongside her international career, her teaching reinforces the power of sharing dance – building not just steps, but self-belief. Our conversation touches on mental health and domestic abuse – Sonia has helped students change their lives in ways she would never have predicted. Sonia Sabri MBE is a multi-award-winning dance artist, choreographer and movement director and Artistic Director of Sonia Sabri Company (SSC). One of the world's leading Kathak dance artists, her work explores both the classical roots of Kathak and contemporary approaches, reflecting Western and Eastern cultures. In 2022, she was associate choreographer for Wondrous Stories, launching Birmingham Festival Commonwealth Games, and for the Opening Ceremony. SSC is an Associate Artist at Birmingham Hippodrome and Sonia is Creative Resident at Curve.

In this episode, Bertha Chin— Senior lecturer and the Director of the National University of Singapore's Communications And New Media program— and Swapnil Rai—Associate Professor Film, Television and Media Associate Professor Communication and Media at the University of Michigan—join us to speak about the global streaming media landscape. From Bollywood to Hollywood, Rai and Chin dissect the complexity of media movements as both parts of cultural imperialism and the widening of fandoms. Both scholars lead us through discussions of the transnational circulations and development of series on streaming platforms, relating them to the wider topic of power relations within globalization. By the end, we are left to examine how we engage with transnational shows, who produces them, and how other countries have interpreted the same show. Is streaming the best way to be exposed to other cultures, or is it trying to mobilize the audiences and resources of other countries? Here are some of the references from this episode, for those who want to dig a little deeper:Academic/Educational readings and resources:Transnational Streaming Television Reshaping Global Flows and PowerNetworked Bollywood How Star Power Globalized Hindi CinemaCrowdfunding the Future Media Industries, Ethics, and Digital SocietyEating Fandom Intersections Between Fans and Food CulturesBollywoodizing Netfix or globalizing Hotstar?

Welcome back to another episode of Moment of Silence — where Valentine's Day is less roses and more reality checks. We start gently with “Do you even believe in love?” and then we get into couple influencers monetising their fights, decode soft launches, hard launches, and breakup triangles. You've heard of Veer Pahariya, Tara Sutaria, and AP Dhillon — but what really goes wrong? We talk power couples minting money, why dating a cricketer suddenly feels strategic, and whether modern relationships are just brand collaborations with feelings attached. Of course, we couldn't resist a chaotic “Would You Rather Date” lineup featuring Ranbir Kapoor, Shahid Kapoor, Kareena Kapoor and more — so tell us in the comments which Bollywood character you're choosing and why.We also touch upon Bhool Bhulaiyaa 3, confess our crush on Hrithik Roshan, share a Valentine's survival hack, and drop a slightly dangerous (but effective) strategy to get your man to finally do household chores.This episode is about love, PR, money, ego, delusion, and feminism.

Do you want your patients to feel confident and cared for and to become raving fans about your practice? Kiera takes listeners through specific steps to help practices refine what their patients go through upon entering to exiting your office. Episode resources: Subscribe to The Dental A-Team podcast Schedule a Practice Assessment Leave us a review Transcript: The Dental A Team (00:00) Dental A Team listeners. This is Kiera. And today I'm excited for a quick tactical practical tip for you guys that I just think is magical. And I'll start with like a story about it to kind of kick us off. ⁓ Jason and I, we just recently went to Ruth's Chris. We decided we were gonna do a day date and Jason and I, went to the spa. I convinced him to go to the spa. He's not like obsessed about it, but really loved in like the hot tub room that they actually turned on a football game for him. So.   I don't know how the spa gods were on my side that day, but they definitely were. And then we decided to go to Ruth's Chris. And if you guys are familiar with Ruth's Chris, ⁓ it's ⁓ an amazing steakhouse. And ⁓ I noticed when we went in there, there was just a different vibe. And I've been very obsessive about high-end restaurants, reading the book, Unreasonable Hospitality. I think I'm more aware of it. If you guys haven't read that book, I definitely recommend putting that on your book wish list. And what was interesting is,   When we came in, they said, hi, Mr. and Mrs. Dent, great to see you. And they took us back to our table and the waitress was so kind to us. And she said, here's this information. What information do you guys need? There were seat spot for us. The busser came through and was like, we really love working with people like you. You guys just make our life so much easier. They're like, here, let's just box this up for you. You made great choices for you. They had all of our stuff boxed for us. The presentation was beautiful.   They didn't come by and they weren't annoying to us, but they were so genuine to us. And then as we were leaving, they said, thank you, Mr. and Mrs. Dent. And they knew all about us. Okay. So that was one experience. Another experience has been Jason and I were in Bali and we went to the four seasons and I remember if you've been to Bali, you'll understand. Jason and I both got Bali belly. And if you haven't heard mine was, I got it on our flight home. I've never in all my years of flying, knock on wood, I've never once thrown up ever on a plane.   Mine is my flight home that was a nice nine hour flight from Taiwan to San Francisco. And I threw up and had diarrhea the entire freaking time of that flight. I had thrown up about 13 times in two hours and I figured out, if I can make a system for this, like it was hold the vomit bag, go to the bathroom and brush my teeth all at the same time. I realized you can create a system for anything. So that's a little bit beside the point. So I'm here to tell you about great experiences. But at the four seasons, they were top notch. They had an app. They would text us.   When I asked them like, hey, you guys have any medicine? They're like, ⁓ we don't have medicine. Here's the pharmacy. We can get it for you. We'll have it to your room. They had it to our room for us. They brought different things for us because they knew that we were sick. They had a turndown service for us. They paid attention to our likes. Our wants, made sure everything was done every single night for us. It was one of the most incredible experiences. And I think about it, like people are like, Kiera, you traveled all over the world. You've gone to Antarctica. You go to these places. And I'm like, Bali, even though I threw up for eight hours on my flight home.   Bollywood one of my most amazing experiences and I'm like, what was it? Like it was how I felt at Four Seasons. It was how I felt of everybody was so happy for us to be there. They were so grateful for us to be there. People would say hello to us. They knew our names as we walked through. And ⁓ I've just been paying attention to like Ruth's Chris was recent. The Four Seasons was another one. And then I think about other experiences that maybe weren't as great. I think about...   Hotels Jason and I we flew home. We missed a flight coming home from an international flight So we had to snag a hotel the only hotel available for us was a hotel I will not say But it was we'll just say a budget-friendly hotel and I remember we checked in and no one was there They weren't happy to see us. They were annoyed to see us the shuttle. I'm not joking you It was supposed to be there in 15 minutes We waited two hours to get our shuttle and they kept telling us one's on the way one's on the way. They were like you need to call this person By the time we got there our bed was dirty   The bathroom was broken. And I just thought, man, I remember that experience. I don't remember the Four Seasons experience, but which one do I want to go back to? Which one do I tell my friends about? Which one am I like, I threw up and I was so sick from Bali. You guys, would never recommend doing a cooking class internationally. I know exactly what caused our sickness. my gosh. And my stomach like to this day still hurts about it. But yeah, I loved that trip so much because of how I felt. And so that's what I want to go into today of   the patient experience in designing and creating a journey that the patient wants to be a part of and they want to rave about. And I know we've talked about this at several other times ⁓ because it's something where I remember I was at a conference once and they said, Kiera, what people remember is the beginning and the end. They don't really remember the middle. And so in dental practice, it's our beginning. It's our first phone calls and it's the end on how they leave. Yes, they might remember the middle of the procedure, but typically speaking, it's those, those two points in anything like think about a show you go to. You usually remember the beginning.   You remember the end. think about Taylor Swift and I'm like, definitely remember the countdown clock. Like I can remember that. remember everything coming out. Middle, like there was a lot going on and the ending, everybody can remember that. But, and yes, there are still things and that's not to say the middle can't be great, but we want to make sure that it is this experience that people are so obsessed with because we want to help them feel so good. And I think the dental office is such an intimate space. Dentistry is intimate. Everything that we do in dentistry is intimate. And so if we can help patients feel   a certain way and that doesn't mean we have to be perfect, but it does mean that we create a patient experience and a patient journey for them. So for me, even in Dental A Team, it should be that the patient experience, our customer experience is very intentional and not accidental. So we kind of think through it, like what do want our patients to feel? What do we want our patients to say about us? And it's also crazy because you can go look at your reviews right now and see what the patient experience is today.   what you've created maybe not intentionally or intentionally. Just go read it. What is it? For us at Dental A Team, I want people to feel like it's fun. I want it to feel like it's easy. I want people to feel like, my gosh, like they understood me, that they're thinking ahead of where I'm at, that they can guide us and that we are non-judgmental and that you and your team are gonna rise to the next level. Go read our reviews. That's what it is. But that's by intentionality and design. That's our core values. That's what we talk about constantly. It's how we onboard our consultants.   It's how we refine. how we take feedback from clients of if they're not getting it, how can we make this process easier? How can we make it easier for our consultants? How can we give better education? Like what can we do because that's the experience we want them to have. And so, ⁓ this is going to be an episode. If you really want patients to feel like super confident and cared for and to become raving fans for you to where they love the dentist, you have an opportunity to change how people feel about going to the dentist. And I think it's an amazing opportunity if you choose to do it. So   Number one is like, let's think about first impression. Remember, like it's the it's the end caps. And I think if we can even just design those two really, really intentionally, like four seasons and Roos Chris, did you notice in both of those? And this is not on purpose. I just sharing the story. I talked about my entrance and my exit at Bali. We were freaking sick on that last day. And I remember that the most more than anything. Yes, they did the turn down service and that was great. But I didn't talk about our New Year's Eve dinner that we had. I didn't talk about the waiters like none of that.   And as I think back, I'm like, yeah, that was really nice. I remember our first initial and our ending. Same thing with Ruth, Chris, how they entered us and how they exited. I talked about both of those. Go back and rewind. And that was not on purpose, but this even just proves my point that the experiences you remember are those end caps, the beginning and the end. So what is our presence? So number one is how do we answer the phone on the first new patient impression? That's going to be it. I talked about this just recently. If you haven't heard that, go back and listen, but like, how do we greet people? And are we like smiling when we answer? Are we excited or are we like,   Oh my gosh, another freaking phone call, like, hello. Right? I don't know if any of you had a mom who had a mom voice where she's like, Kiera Cherie. And I was like, hello. My mom was like, I didn't do that. I'm like, oh mom, you did. And you had the snap and you'd give me those mom eyes, right? Moms had those two voices. My sister's husband, he was like, my mom used to like snarl at me with her teeth. My mom didn't do the teeth, but we all know like, and I feel like that's how it should be like, we could be busy in the patients, but as soon as that phone rings, I want our front office to feel like.   my gosh, I am so excited to be answering this phone call. We are so excited you're here. Like almost like buddy the elf, like you're so excited. Maybe not that enthusiastic, but like that same sentiment. We are so excited. So we want it to be this like welcoming. We are happy you're here. We're not annoyed that you're here. And that's the very first impression. And then when they come into the practice, this is our next first impression. And if we botch our phone, we oftentimes can make it up on our second, but I will tell you that first phone impression is going to be paramount. So get our best person answering those.   best person and all of our front office team needs to realize when you answer the phone, you go on stage and you like sit up and you smile, even put mirrors up there so they can see themselves. You guys, not a joke. My mom said I was so vain. She gave me a like desk with a mirror and I used to sit there and talk on the phone in front of the mirror. And I was like, why do you do this? And I'm like, mom, like watch how I talk and I look at things and I look at, I practice my smile and it could have been a little vanity. Uh, but I know it's helped me present and be able to speak. And I guarantee you a lot of that mirror training.   is why I'm able to go present on stage today and be able to engage and invoke emotion because I practiced for a long time in the mirror. So having that mirror, having people see how they are, because if I'm sitting down, I'm like, hey guys, welcome to the podcast versus, hey guys, welcome to the podcast. You feel two very different things. And I feel too, I'm like super jazz on the second one. The first one I'm like, cool, I got a freaking podcast today. No, like I'm excited. I'm excited to hang out with you. I'm honored that you share your time with me. So we want it to be, and whatever your experiences, and some doctors you might not be like Kiera level 20.   Well, guess what? My team is Kiera level 20. We want to answer the phone in that level. If you are more like subdued and you're more like spa boutique, your phone needs to answer. Like I would be utterly shocked if I called the spa and they're like, hi, welcome to the spa. I'd be like, whoa, tone it down. Like this is the spa. And that's even Kiera who's excited. The dental office, it's like welcoming and engaging and like, hi, I'm like so excited you called. We're truly going to take great care of you. And I'm really excited to bring you into the practice. Notice I even have a patient voice that's different than my podcast voice, which is different than a spa.   My spa was like, hi, welcome to Serenity Spa. I'm so glad you're here. And I'm Kyra Dent and I'm changing right here, but it's because I feel that. And that's what I want people to experience in our phone and how people walk in is going to be our first step. So we need you to truly train and what is it? And if you haven't built this for your front office team, help them see this is what our, this is what our patient experience is. We want a confident, energetic, calm, whatever it is, first interaction. And we want our   online experience. our website, our scheduling, our messaging, our phone messaging to follow that same experience. So if that's our first impression, they're still filling it. Then they want to make the phone call. And we want to just like reduce any friction. How can I make this easier? I'm going to send you the paperwork. I'm going to schedule you now. I'm going to make sure I get this back in 48 hours. So I've got your appointment confirmed. This is how we're going to work. And I'm also setting clear expectations of we are so excited to have you here. And these are the rules of the game that we play by.   You notice like I even feel myself go into like a confident and welcoming human. That's our first experience. And if you will refine this, you will start to notice you train your patients from day one of we are so happy to have you. This is how we operate. We have you run on time. We have you send in our information. You always confirm your appointments 48 hours ahead of time. And we are so excited to welcome you to our family, whatever it is. listening to our new patient phone calls, experiencing that, putting the mirrors up there.   And then it's a, when the patient comes into the practice, let's make sure that that's an amazing experience too. Is our waiting room area clean? Do we have our front office person? You guys like, it drives me wild when I walk into a practice and it is cluttery with paper. You guys clear that clutter and make it clean. Dental practices need to be sterile. Yes, you can have cutesy stuff, but it still needs to feel clean and sterile. Front office team members, I'm gonna be a little bit hard right now. Do not freaking eat food in the front where patients can see you.   Go to the back. watch it so often. You're just sitting there like you break your crack or anything. No one can see you. They can. They see crumbs. It just feels. People can feel perfection. They can feel cleanliness. They can feel dirtiness. And this isn't me like ripping into you. I bend that person. I used to my snack drawer down there. That's not professional and that shouldn't be in the front office. Get it into the back office. Let's make sure it's clean. You can have all your cups. You can have all the things, but it needs to be clean. It needs to be sterile. It needs to be welcoming and inviting. Think about when you walk into a hotel. It's very inviting. Some   junkie janky and you're like, I don't want to stay here. Some are like, my gosh, this is amazing. Same thing with restaurants. How do we want our patients to feel? Let's make sure that the ambiance feels the same way. Even if your front office is on the phone, you can always welcome and say hi. Like while you're on the phone, I'll be right with you. That way they can feel super welcomed or like, hey, here's an iPad. I'll chat with you. And then as soon as like, Kiera, I'm so happy you're here. Welcome to the practice. Let me grab you a bottle of water. Do you prefer stilled or, or like do you prefer room temperature or chilled?   little small things that does not take a lot of effort, but that sets a very different impression rather than welcome to the practice. Okay. So let's make sure that first impression is very, very important. This is that first end block of the practice and patient experience. It's going to make it radically different for you and your practice. Then on the other side, is it's going to be during the visit? We need to make sure that we're still well oiled because if our front and end of those bookends are good, but the middle is ick.   They're going to actually remember that more than they remember these polished pieces. So the middle doesn't have to be like perfect perfection every time. what? Dentistry runs long. But as often as we can, let's be on time to our patients. Let's make sure that we have really clean handoffs. Let's make sure that when we are presenting our exams doctors that we use that NDTR. What's the next visit? What's the date? What's the time to return and make sure our re-care cleanings are scheduled. Make sure that the patient has that every time. Look me in the eyes. Involve me in that experience of patient, doctor, clinician. We're here.   All right, Kiera, we wanna see you back in two weeks for that crown on the upper right. We're gonna take great care of you. I need about an hour and a half for that. And we'll make sure that sister Susie over here gets you scheduled for your cleaning. What questions do you have for me? I'm really excited to work with you. Great, they know. And I will tell you if doctors will take the little bit of time to be super concise and clear on next steps, next visit, that's what people are remembering. So again, remember, yes, you've got the bookends of the appointment.   but also within the appointment in the chair, they're remembering how you seat them and how you end. Doctors, the essay heard the exam, but they're remembering your anchoring point of your end point. So nail that end point. Clinical team members, remember the end point. I used to try to like make jokes at the beginning and then have a good time at the end because I knew that that's what they were going to remember. Even if the procedure was hard, I still made sure that they had a great experience at the end. And if it was a hard procedure, I'm like, gosh, you did such a good job. I'm really, really proud of you. You did it.   you're gonna have the best results after this, whatever it is, but just make sure that they're clear, especially on exams. There is nothing worse than confusion. Confusion is the enemy of execution. So be crystal clear on where we're headed. And then after that, what we're gonna do is we're gonna let them know like, here's the next visit, here's what's gonna happen, we're gonna move them through it. This way your patients are so crystal clear on what's going on. And then at the end,   We have an amazing experience. So front office team, you're back on the, you're the shining stars. You welcome them in, you talk to them on the phone, and then you're the last impression. So making sure your people who are sitting in those seats recognize their role and their value in this whole experience. So on this, it's a perfect, let's get you scheduled. I make this really easy for them. Beautiful. What questions do you have for me? We say the same thing from what they said in the clinical team to the front office team. Front office has really good notes. So the clinical team just picks it right up.   And we have this in here of a very, very, very good experience at the end. Then if they had a great experience, I asked them for a review and say, Hey, I'd love you to share your experience with us. I can't wait to see you next time. Gosh, you're seriously one of my favorite patients. And I'm so grateful you're a part of our practice. That's not that hard, but what's that patient? You remember, gosh, they loved me when I came in, they loved me when I went out. And what it is, is it's not all these little pieces. It's the experience of how they felt just like me. I didn't tell you all the nuances of Ruth's Chris   I didn't tell you that my steak was amazing. I didn't tell you I had sweet potatoes. None of that. What I did tell you is how I felt at both. And guess what? I could have told you any experience, but I told you what's crazy is even at the spa, the football game was at the end. I didn't even tell you about my massage. I told you about the little thing that stood out to me. And remember, bad things actually could be what your patient's experiencing, even though you think you've got good pieces. If I've got an amazing welcoming, but I've got a jerk of a team member who's rude,   they're gonna remember that, cause that's gonna stand out way shinier than this one. And sometimes my doctor can be amazing, but your front office cannot be the same experience and it feels disjointed. And so you gotta make sure that you're, you have a team that's very similar and that we talk about what is our experience? How do I patients to feel? What are our core values? This is culture, but it's patient experience too. And if we get a whole team rallied around this, you're going to be able to have massive raving fans, but it's done with ease. So doing simple little things. So what I would say is when we have this of,   Let's go through number one, what is our patient experience? How do we want patients to feel? Look at our reviews and see what are they already saying and is that what we want? And if not, let's change it. Then let's make sure our phone calls, our website and our first impression when they come into the practice is dialed in and exactly what we want. Let's make sure are in the middle, pretty dang good. Doctors, you're ending with great exams. Clinical team members were ending with a great experience at the end of the exam. And then we take them up to front office and front office, we shine, we dazzle and we are so grateful to have these patients.   Now, if you're listening as a front office team member, you're like, I absolutely don't want to do that. It might be a wrong seat for you. I'm just going to say that front office team members are on stage. Just like I don't want to put a Disneyland, like someone who absolutely hates greeting guests and like putting them through the ticket counter. If they're like, I hate this job. They're, they're not the person. Cause that patient's going to feel that that guest is going to feel like, ⁓ checking into a hotel. I've got the person who's like, gosh, here you are. This is just a job and you're driving me nuts versus the person like, we are so happy you're here.   Make sure I've got right people in right seats for this experience. And that's critical. They could be the right team member, just the wrong seat. So let's make sure if you're listening to this, that you love this. I truly do. And I know Tiff does, and I know Kristy does, and I know Dana does, Britt actually, she's not the front desk. She doesn't like that guys. So she's not always on the podcast. And if Britt was listening, she'd be like, that's correct. I prefer back scenes. She likes to be there. Shelbi, you've never heard Shelbi on the podcast, cause she's like hard past no Kiera, that's not who I am.   but I've got all my consultants who would be like, yeah, Trish put her on. She'd love it. She'd say to the friend, she'd make everybody her best friend, Monica, Pam. They'd love it. So make sure you've got right people, right seat, and then make sure you really commit to having this incredible patient experience and you can check it. Let's do a monthly review, like do an audit of what are the top things the reviews are saying, have Chat GPT help you. There's easy ways to make sure that what we want of our patient experience is what patients are saying. And if not commit to change, it's how patients feel that they're going to remember more than it's what you say.   And if we can help you guys reach Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. These are the small annoying like cobwebs that make the big difference for patients that we are obsessed about helping you with. So reach out, running a successful practice does not have to be hard and it can be very easy for you. So reach Hello@TheDentalATeam.com. And as always, thanks for listening and I'll catch you next time on the Dental A Team Podcast.

Listen now: This week's latest Bollywood news and entertainment updates.

This episode of The Mohua Show is a powerful and unflinching conversation about racism, patriarchy, migration, and what it truly means to survive as a woman inside systems designed to control her.Writer, feminist, and co-author of The Politics of Patriarchy, Rahila Gupta speaks with rare honesty about arriving in Britain as a middle-class Indian woman — and watching racism strip her of class, security, and opportunity. From being pushed into “ethnic” writing boxes to fighting for abused migrant women trapped by immigration laws, Rahila reflects on how power, gender, and race intersect to shape women's lives.Drawing from decades of activism and scholarship, she speaks about why patriarchy survives every political system — from democracies to dictatorships — and why violence against women remains its most enduring weapon. She also introduces us to Rojava, a feminist-led Kurdish society inside war-torn Syria, offering a radical vision of what women's liberation can look like even in the most unlikely places.From landmark domestic violence cases that changed British law to the cultural impact of the film Provoked, Rahila reveals how stories, law, and feminist resistance combine to rewrite what justice can mean.A conversation about power over silence, survival over shame, and why dismantling patriarchy requires both courage and imagination.What this episode is REALLY aboutNot polite feminism.Not surface-level diversity.Not saving women without changing systems.It's about:• Racism and class — how migration erases social status• Writing as survival — finding identity through language• Patriarchy across the globe — why no system is free of it• Rojava — a women-led revolution inside Syria• Feminist resistance — how women build power even in war• Immigration laws — how the state traps abused migrant women• Killing to survive — when abused women are pushed to extremes• Bollywood and abuse — Aishwarya Rai and breaking the silence• Grief and poetry — writing as a way to hold onto loveIf you've ever wondered why women stay, why systems fail survivors, or how patriarchy hides inside law, culture, and even democracy — this episode will change how you see power.Support the PodcastIf this conversation made you rethink power, patriarchy, or justice — share it with someone who believes women deserve more than survival.Subscribe for conversations that challenge injustice, amplify resistance, and tell the stories that systems try to bury.Music Credits : https://pixabay.com/music/ambient-butterfly-113600/✅ Subscribe To Our Channel: /themohuashow Stay updated!

ChatGPT butchers Punjabi with spelling errors and Bollywood-style Hindi bleeding through. Hindi bots trained on newspapers miss dialects like Awadhi and Bhojpuri entirely, while Tamil AI ignores the rich variations between Kongu and Madurai speech.Sure, Gurugram collected ₹200 crore in taxes using Hindi AI calls, but that's because Hindi dominates datasets. Most other languages remain stuck in translation hell. Private companies optimize for speed over nuance, government corpora like Bhashini sit underused, and multimodal data that captures tone and emotion is too expensive to build.The result? AI is flattening India's 780 languages into sanitized, standardized versions that erase the very dialects it claims to serve.Read the newsletter here.

If you've already read our in-depth feature on Joshua Williamson's Iron Man, the conversation doesn't stop there. On this week's AIPT Comics Podcast, we're running the full, uncut version of our interview with Williamson, pulled straight from the complete transcript behind the piece. It's a deeper, looser, and more candid discussion that digs into his rare position straddling both Marvel and DC, why Iron Man was the one Marvel character he couldn't pass up, and how revisiting Tony Stark's origin reframed the entire run for him.

What did you see in her art that made her the right partner for this specific take on Iron Man?Your tagline, “Tony Stark is the most dangerous weapon in the Marvel Universe,” is a loaded one. In your mind, what makes Tony more dangerous than gods, monsters, or cosmic tyrants?The premise echoes Iron Man's origin in a powerful way—“Tony built Tony in that cave. What if he had to go in again?” How did you think about revisiting that crucible without just retelling the origin story?Madame Masque is positioned as a central force here, orchestrating the kidnapping of geniuses worldwide. She's also currently making waves elsewhere in Marvel—especially in Venom. What drew you to her for this story, and how do you view her role in the larger Marvel landscape right now?

How did the arrival of colour and film technology transform cinema and its cultural politics? Laurie Taylor explores the intertwined histories of technology, aesthetics, and identity.Swarnavel Eswaran, filmmaker and scholar at Michigan State University, introduces us to the remarkable story of Kodak Krishnan – Eastman Kodak's “man from the East.” Krishnan played a pivotal role in bringing American film technology to India during the mid-20th century, a period when cinema was becoming a powerful medium for shaping ideas of modernity and national pride.Kirsty Sinclair Dootson, Associate Professor in the History of Art department at University College London, is one of the organisers of the Bombay Colour Research Network. Her book The Rainbow's Gravity asked how new colour media transformed the way Britain saw itself and its empire between 1856 and 1968. Her research also examines how colour technologies – from early tinting processes to the vibrant palettes of Bollywood musicals became part of debates over race, class, and cultural representation. Kirsty Sinclair Dootson is one of the academics who has been a New Generation Thinker, on the scheme run by the BBC and the Arts and Humanities Research Council to share research on radio.

Welcome to PGX: Raw & RealPGX: Raw & Real is simple. I sit with people who've lived through something and/or made it big, and I try to understand what it did to them.Sometimes it gets deep, sometimes it gets weird, sometimes we end up laughing at stories that should've gone very differently — just like how real conversations go.This isn't meant to be inspiration or a template for life (for that, you can check out PGX Ideas).This space is different. It's their story, as they experienced it.In this episode, I spoke to Sanjay Mishra — Indian ActorTimestamps:00:00 - Welcome to Raw & Real03:10 - Delhi's pollution 07:45 - TV dramas, police corruption & dialogues 16:00 - Copy-paste formula of Bollywood24:00 - Bollywood copies hollywood? 32:10 - Movie Recommendations by Sanjay33:50 - Vadh 239:20 - Power of Cinema52:30 - Sanjay gets emotional while talking about his father1:10:45 - food stories / cheap thrills / simple pleasures 1:16:25 - Are we forgetting our culture?1:25:00 - What works in India?Enjoy.— Prakhar

The Munsons take on one of the most beloved and quietly powerful actors we've ever covered: Irrfan Khan. The episode kicks off with Case's failed attempt to learn Python code just to process Khan's box office numbers—a fitting start for a career that refuses to fit neatly into spreadsheets. We ask the big question early: is Irrfan the most well-known and successful Bollywood-to-Hollywood crossover actor of all time? And yes, we may have single-handedly juiced his IMDb star rating in preparation. We trace his relentless grind, from releasing nearly 500 episodes of television in 1994 alone—making him arguably the busiest man in entertainment—to a career built the hard way, without shortcuts. We struggle to name another actor we've covered who can convey emotion quite like Irrfan. One of his films even manages to make both Kyle and Rodmaker cry (and yes, we name names). We spend time gushing over The Lunchbox (2013), a performance we genuinely adore, while also uncovering the shocking revelation that Aubrey has never had Indian food. Ever. What?! The Munsons also dream up a hypothetical spin-off centered on his character from Inferno (2016), lament his passing in 2018, and sit with the sadness of becoming fans just as his extraordinary career was cut short. His absence leaves a real void—and this episode becomes as much a tribute as an evaluation. Do we praise him harder than Tom Hanks did while filming Inferno? Listen to find out.
