mélange azimut pour public épicurien....

Desde Australia, DR PACKER llega a DISCORAMA para una entrevista exclusiva con Mario Mengoni. Uno de los grandes nombres de la escena disco-house internacional conversa sobre su historia, sus comienzos, su particular manera de trabajar con la música y el arte de recuperar el espíritu de grabaciones de otras épocas para llevarlas nuevamente a la pista de baile. Un encuentro que cruza más de 12.000 kilómetros y conecta Buenos Aires con Australia, alrededor de una cultura musical compartida: disco, funk, soul y house. En este episodio también escuchamos a SUKI SOUL, cantante, compositora, productora y DJ británica, y recibimos nuevamente al músico macedonio radicado en Nueva York VLADIMIR CETKAR, con una producción que lleva el sello de nuestro invitado. Además, celebramos el regreso de una verdadera leyenda: CHAKA KHAN, que a sus 73 años presenta nuevo álbum y demuestra que su historia no pertenece solamente al pasado: continúa escribiéndose en presente. Y Diego Hidalgo vuelve a ponerse al mando del DISCOLLAGE: quince minutos non stop dedicados esta vez exclusivamente a nuevos lanzamientos disco y house, con PAUL LYONS, C. DA AFRO & J.B.

This week is the final Sound Kitchen program, and it's a doubleheader: you'll hear the answers to TWO quiz questions, as well as TWO “Listeners Corner's” with Paul Myers, plus a special musical choice from me to you. Just click the “Play” button above to join the feast! Hello everyone! As noted on the show, I am retiring on 1 October, and today's show is our last meal together. Unfortunately, The Sound Kitchen is retiring too – I will not be replaced. We've had a great time together all these years, haven't we? Click here to listen to past Sound Kitchen podcasts.   I know you will all stay loyal to RFI English – our service has so much to offer. We're small, but my colleagues are firebrands! For example, we have wonderful podcasts: Spotlight on France, with journalists Alison Hird and Sarah Elzas; Melissa Chemam's insightful Spotlight on Africa, and our International Report, usually sent to us by one of our foreign correspondents. We also have an award-winning bilingual series – an old-time radio show, with actors (!) – to help you learn French, called Les voisins du 12 bis. Remember, podcasts are radio, too! As you see, sound is still quite present in the RFI English service.  Please keep checking our website for updates on the latest from our team of journalists. You never know what we'll surprise you with! To listen to our podcasts from your PC, go to our website; you'll see “Podcasts” at the top of the page. You can either listen directly or subscribe and receive them directly on your mobile phone. And don't forget, in addition to our audio bilingual series, you can also learn French through our website “Le Français facile avec rfi”. In addition to online lessons, there are news broadcasts in slow, simple French, with exercises to practice what you've heard. Go to their website and get started! At the top of the page, click on “Test level”, and you'll be advised on the best-suited activities for your level, according to your score. Do not give up! As Lidwien van Dixhoorn, the head of the “Le Français facile” service, told me: “Bathe your ears in the sound of the language, and eventually, you'll get it”. She should know – Lidwien is Dutch and came to France hardly able to say “bonjour,” and now she heads this key international award-winning RFI department – so stick with it! For the quiz on 7 February: I asked you a question about the 68th annual Grammy Awards that took place on 1 February. You were to re-read our article “French DJ wins Grammy for Lady Gaga remix” and send in the answer to this question: Which six artists were given “Lifetime Achievement” awards? The answer is, to quote our article: “On Saturday evening, Nigeria's Fela Kuti was posthumously awarded a lifetime achievement award, becoming the first African artist to receive the distinction. The king of Afrobeat was one of several artists to receive the award, including Cher, Whitney Houston, Carlos Santana, Paul Simon and Chaka Khan.” In addition to the quiz question, there was the bonus question, suggested by RFI Listeners Club member Alan Holder from the English Isle of Wight. Alan's question was: “What would be your ideal gift from your best friend or spouse? Why?”  The winners are: RFI Listeners Club member Mohamed Elsayed Abd Elraheim from Elsharkya, Egypt. Mohamed Elsayed is also this week's bonus question winner. Also on the list of lucky winners are RFI Listeners Club members Hans Verner Lollike from Hedehusene, Denmark; Helmut Matt from Herbolzheim, Germany; Kashif Khalil from Faisalabad, Pakistan, and last but not least, gentle Debashis Gope from West Bengal, India. Congratulations winners! For the quiz on 14 February: That week, I asked you a question about the Benin Bronzes, the trove of Nigerian sculptures and artifacts that were looted by colonial powers. One of the most well-known organizations working for the return of these works is in Nigeria: it's the National Commission for Museums and Monuments – the NCMM- which requested the return of bronzes from Britain that were looted from the Kingdom of Benin during the British Benin Expedition of 1897. Some of the sculptures date to the fourteenth century, but the bulk of the collection dates to the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries. And that week, the NCMM had a win, as my good colleague Melissa Chemam noted in her article: “Cambridge University museum set to return Benin bronzes to Nigeria”. You were to re-read Melissa's article and give the details of the artefacts to be returned. What did Melissa name in her article about the Benin Kingdom artworks that went home to Nigeria? The answer is, to quote Melissa: “Among the returned bronzes that will travel in the coming months are wood and ivory sculptures, as well as commemorative heads of King Oba and Queen Mother Lyoba Idia. The term ‘Benin bronzes' refers to objects crafted from brass and ivory as well as bronze, which were seized during the colonial-era military expedition.” The bonus question you answered that week was: “What do you know after all these years? What have you found are important life truths? The winners are: Faithful RFI Listeners Club member Jayanta Chakrabarty from New Delhi, India. Jayanta is also the bonus question winner. Also on the list of lucky winners are RFI Listeners Club member Nasyr Muhammad from Katsina State in Nigeria, as well as RFI English listeners M. Ganesan from Goa, India, and three listeners from Bangladesh:  Rafiq ul Islam from Naogaon, as well as Abdul Mannan and Mahfuza Akhter, both from Chapainawabganj. Congratulations winners! Here's the music you heard on this week's programme: “Minor Swing” by  Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grapelli, performed by the composers with Le Quintette Hot Club de France; "Water No Get Enemy" by Fela Kuti, performed by Fela Kuti and Africa '70; “The Cakewalk” from Children's Corner by Claude Debussy, performed by the composer;  “L'hymne à l'amour” by Edith Piaf and Marguerite Monnot, sung by Edith Piaf, and “I Wish You Love” by Charles Trenet and Léo Chauliac, performed by Laufey with the Iceland Symphony Orchestra conducted by Hugh Brant. With much affection from The Sound Kitchen team – Erwan Rome, Paul Myers, and yours truly, Susan Owensby - fare thee well!

Es gibt Stimmen, die altern. Und es gibt Stimmen, bei denen man nach wenigen Sekunden wieder weiß, warum sie Musikgeschichte geschrieben haben. Chaka Khan gehört ziemlich eindeutig zur zweiten Kategorie. Der Albumtitel ist eine Ansage: „Chakzilla“. 10 Songs, wo weniger auf Nostalgie als auf einen zeitgemäßen Mix aus Funk, Soul, Disco und R&B gesetzt wird. (superfly.fm)

Chaka Khan's unmistakeable voice and musical versatility have made her one of the most influential musicians of the past six decades, with an estimated 70 million records sold. Whether fronting the band Rufus or performing as a solo artist, she's moved effortlessly between funk, soul, jazz, and pop, creating era-defining hits including I'm Every Woman, Ain't Nobody and I Feel For You. She grew up in Chicago, in an artistic family where she was surrounded by music. As a teenager, she became involved with the Affro-Arts Theater, where she was given the Yoruba name Chaka, and a political awakening led her to join the Black Panther Party. By her late teens, she had joined Rufus, whose breakthrough hit Tell Me Something Good launched the band to international success and marked the beginning of her recording career. She has since won 11 Grammy Awards, including a Lifetime Achievement Award in 2026, been inducted into the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, and collaborated with some of music's modern greats, including Stevie Wonder, Miles Davis, Joni Mitchell and Prince. Chaka lives on a farm in Georgia, surrounded by family.DISC ONE: What Is and What Should Never Be - Led Zeppelin DISC TWO: Good Times - Aretha Franklin DISC THREE: Tomaas - Miles Davis DISC FOUR: California - Joni Mitchell DISC FIVE: Tell Me Something Good - Rufus, Chaka Khan DISC SIX: A Woman in a Man's World - Chaka Khan DISC SEVEN: Cool Water - Joni Mitchell (duet with Willie Nelson) DISC EIGHT: Precious Is Your Name - Richard Smallwood featuring Chaka Khan BOOK CHOICE: The Prophet by Kahlil Gibran LUXURY ITEM: A gigantic sandalwood and oud candle CASTAWAY'S FAVOURITE: Precious Is Your Name - Richard Smallwood featuring Chaka Khan Presenter: Lauren Laverne Producer: Hannah Hufford & Tim BanoDesert Island Discs has cast away other music legends to the island over the years including Nile Rogers and Cher.

She also remembers the unexpected beginnings of “Ghetto Heaven,” reflects on “Soul Sanctuary” and “Stone,” and explains why maintaining her own musical identity has always mattered.Along the way, Sandra remembers Curtis Mayfield, Leon Ware, Johnny Kemp, Ronnie Drayton, and Bernie Worrell; revisits the creation of Daughters of Soul; and discusses life in the Netherlands.On Eleven, she explores new musical territory with collaborators including Lalah Hathaway, Kaidi Tatham, V. Jeffrey Smith, and Patrick Gibin of Mother Tongue Records.An honest, funny, and heartfelt conversation about the relationships behind the music—and an artist still creating on her own terms.Explore Sandra's album Eleven:https://www.mothertonguerecords.com/product/sandra-st-victor-xi/Watch Musicians Reveal with Joe Kelley on YouTube:https://www.youtube.com/@musiciansrevealFollow Musicians Reveal with Joe Kelley on Spotify or Apple Podcasts for more conversations with the musicians behind the music.

Eleven Grammys. Six decades. And a life that has taken in the Black Panther Party, a brief consideration of the convent, and a farm in rural Georgia with her own well water. Chaka Khan has GREAT CHAT!  Chaka takes us back to the beginnings of her iconic journey, opening up about running away from home at 16, singing in Chicago clubs for twenty dollars a night and her time with the Black Panther Party. She reflects on why awards have never been the point for her, why she believes there is no competition in self-expression, and says plainly that if she had not had singing as an outlet, she would not be here today. She talks candidly about her friendship with Prince and the conversations she still has with his painting on her wall. She also shares the piece of life-saving advice Etta James pulled her aside to give her the very first time they met, what she learned about Billie Holiday from her grandmother's record collection, and why sleep is the secret to her still looking great in her 70's. Plus she joins the group chat to answer your questions, including the ideal height for a man, the most extravagant thing she has ever bought herself, and the extraordinary story of how a psychic in Canada told her to buy her farm before she had even stepped inside the house. Chaka Khan's new album 'Chakzilla' is out on18th September. You can pre-save on Spotify here: https://open.spotify.com/album/0dQyfJN05ICpQfK9dvKRRF?si=f75205cdd100494a

“It's very important that we expose this work early on, so that people from different cultures see ballet as a way of a career. But in the 1990s or 2000s, it was pretty much closed, we didn't have - even in school - a lot of black ballet dancers from which to choose from. But now, obviously, things have moved on. Now, diversity is at the top of every director's agenda… it's great that we've seen a big shift and we see the right kind of representation of the world as we have it today, on stage.”Michael Berkeley speaks to ballet star Carlos Acosta about his life and career.Born in 1973, Acosta grew up in a poor part of Havana, where he was the 11th child in a very large family.He began training at the National Ballet School of Cuba at 9 years old, and quickly rose to prominence. At 18, he became the youngest principal dancer at the English National Ballet.After gaining further international experience, Acosta joined the Royal Ballet in 1998 - making it his home for nearly two decades, and performing every major classical role. Such was his impact, in 2014 he received a CBE in Queen Elizabeth's honours list for services to ballet.Now the Director of Birmingham Royal Ballet, he's fostered some unexpected collaborations, including a show based on the music of the city's heavy rock legends Black Sabbath, as well as classics like Swan Lake and the Nutcracker.Thank you to the Private Passions team for their help in making this programme.

Een wat andere invulling van TORcast: een uurtje muziek die het best is samen te vatten als “Americana” (mijn andere muzikale liefde, naast jazz en klassiek). Americana: de moderne erfgenaam van de Amerikaanse rootsmuziek, waarin de verhalende kracht van folk, de emotie van blues, de traditie van country en af en toe de muzikale kleuren van jazz samenkomen. Playlist: Keb’Mo’: One Day Away; Keb’Mo’, Soweto Gospel Choir: Hand It Over; Kenny Wayne Shepherd: Deja Voodoo; Joe Bonamassa, Chaka Khan, Eric Clapton: The Thrill Is Gone; Eric Bibb: This One Don’t; Buddy Guy, Tracy Chapman): Ain’t No Sunshine; John Scofield, John Mayer: I Don’t Need No Doctor; Elles Bailey: Best Believe; Philip Kroonenberg: Song For John Lagrand; Ad Vanderveen: If Words Were Notes; Hans Theessink: St. James Infirmary. Americana is geen strikt afgebakend muziekgenre, maar eerder een verzamelnaam voor verschillende vormen van Amerikaanse rootsmuziek. De stijl bouwt voort op tradities uit folk, blues, country en gospel, en neemt soms ook elementen uit jazz over. Wat deze muzieksoorten verbindt, is hun nadruk op authenticiteit, verhalen en emotionele expressie. Van de blues erft Americana de oprechte gevoelsuitdrukking en thema's als liefde, verlies, hoop en het gewone leven. De muziek klinkt vaak warm, doorleefd en menselijk. Uit de folk komen vooral de verhalende liedteksten en het gebruik van akoestische instrumenten zoals gitaar, banjo, mandoline en viool. Hierdoor staat niet zozeer technische perfectie centraal, maar het vertellen van een verhaal. De relatie met jazz is minder direct, maar zeker aanwezig. Sommige Americana-artiesten verwerken jazzinvloeden in hun harmonieën, ritmiek of muzikale vrijheid. Daardoor krijgt de muziek soms meer kleur en diepgang zonder haar rootskarakter te verliezen. Americana kan daarom worden gezien als een muzikale brug tussen de emotionele kracht van blues, de vertelkunst van folk en de muzikale verfijning van jazz. Het resultaat is een toegankelijke, authentieke stijl die sterk geworteld is in de Amerikaanse muziektraditie, maar tegelijk ruimte biedt voor persoonlijke interpretatie en moderne invloeden.

Ode (@thatsod.e / @thatsod_e) and Mo AKA Kid Licorish (@licorishislegit) welcome Tanisha Hall, founder of IAS Games and known as Queen It Shall Be, for a bonus episode of Black and Snerdy centered on tabletop games and Black joy. Hall traces her path from childhood game nights with Clue and The Game of Life to founding IAS Games after connecting with the Black Game Makers Association, and she explains why A Different World, rather than The Cosby Show, shaped her sense of HBCU culture given the Cosby Show controversy. The three also swap notes on age-gap relationships, using shared references like Anita Baker and Lil Wayne's "Lollipop" as generational markers, and revisit an ongoing bit about sabotaging each other's Spotify algorithms.The group plays several rounds of Hall's YouTube trivia series Get to Guessing, moving through the Black Firsts, Black Cartoon Characters, and Black Singer Zodiac Signs categories, with answers touching on Phillis Wheatley, Gordon Parks, Sade, and Chaka Khan. A later segment turns to frustrations with vague dating-app messaging and continued discourse around code switching, followed by a lighter round on what is bringing everyone joy, including news that Andrew and Tristan Tate have been arrested and face extradition to the UK and reports that George Zimmerman is unhoused. The episode closes with Hall sharing that she lost her home to a fallen tree and is raising funds to rebuild, along with details of her upcoming live game show event.IAS Games @IASGAMES:FACEBOOK: https://www.facebook.com/inallseriesnessTIKTOK:  https://tiktok.com/iasgamesINSTAGRAM:  https://www.instagram.com/iasgames AND https://instagram.com/hillmanthegameYOUTUBE:  https://www.youtube.com/@iasgames.

Sometimes dreams only come true when you build them yourself. For Chris Johnson, that philosophy has defined a remarkable career spanning decades in the music industry. Now, after years spent creating opportunities for other artists while quietly honing his own craft, Johnson is stepping back into the spotlight with his powerful new single, "Better Days Ahead," out June 26 2026, and  the first release from his forthcoming album, Tales From The Cowboy Palace.Born and raised in the rural community of Lakeside in San Diego County, California, Johnson grew up balancing life between Future Farmers of America, horseback riding, surfing and skateboarding. Raised among cattle, rodeos, and wide-open spaces, he proudly identifies as an "urban cowboy"—someone who may live in the suburbs but carries a rural spirit at heart.Chris Johnson is a California-born singer-songwriter, musician, entrepreneur, and self-described urban cowboy whose career spans performance, production, sound engineering, venue ownership, and artist development. Raised in Lakeside, California, Johnson has spent decades immersed in the music industry while continuing to write songs rooted in real-life experiences. His upcoming album, Tales From The Cowboy Palace, showcases his distinctive blend of traditional Country storytelling and hard-earned authenticity.Music was woven into Johnson's life from the very beginning. With a mother, aunts, and grandfathers who were all musicians, his passion for songwriting and performance came naturally. By the age of twelve, he was already playing guitar and singing alongside his mother at schools, county fairs, senior centers, and community events. Influenced by legends such as Willie Nelson, Waylon Jennings, Merle Huggard, George Jones, John Denver, and Pete Seeger, Johnson developed a deep appreciation for storytelling through song.As a teenager, he played in school bands before forming his own country rock group. During college, he fronted a local band called Border Tones before pursuing solo performances throughout Southern California. His journey eventually led him to Los Angeles, where he attended Musicians Institute and joined a booking agency that sent him across the country performing corporate events and hotel engagements.While the experience sharpened his skills as a performer, Johnson ultimately felt pulled toward creating music of his own."I really wanted to get back to doing my own music," Johnson recalls. "I didn't even have a house—we were just in band houses and hotel rooms all the time."Back in Los Angeles, Johnson built an impressive behind-the-scenes career, running sound for legendary venues including the Whisky A Go Go and the Roxy, managing backline operations for FM Station. Also, touring as guitar tech for John Fogerty, Styx, Government Mule, Lisa Marie Presley, Chaka Khan and System of A Down. While also performing demo vocals, composing commercial jingles, and providing voiceover work. He also launched his own equipment company, Hollywood Studio Rentals, Valley Production Storage and Drum Paradise LA before eventually purchasing the very Country music venue where he frequently performed—the famed Cowboy Palace.Through every chapter of his career, songwriting remained a constant. Now, Tales From The Cowboy Palace serves as the culmination of a lifetime of experiences, offering listeners an authentic collection of songs centered around perseverance, freedom, fatherhood, motorcycles, hard work, and redemption. Backed by his band, The Hollywood Hillbillies, Johnson delivers a modern Country project enriched by decades of musical influences and real-world experiences.Lead single "Better Days Ahead" stands as a heartfelt anthem for dreamers, workers, and anyone pushing forward through adversity."It's about working my ass off when I had nothing," Johnson says. "Dreaming of giving a better life to my wife and kids."Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

This week the theme is simple: STAY SCHEMING.  We open with the "Spin That" controversy taking over everybody's timeline — India.Arie's response video, the boycott debate, and why the real issue isn't one song, it's the lack of balance in today's music compared to the 90s. That spirals into booster culture, the underground food stamp economy, and why every good scheme requires patience (looking at you, Brinks truck guy). Then we get into one of the great 90s urban legends: did Toni Braxton really break up the young Dallas Mavericks — Jason Kidd, Jimmy Jackson, and Jamal Mashburn? And was her "Good girls don't kiss and tell" response the greatest album promo scheme ever pulled? (The Secrets album turns 30 this month, so Jimmy Jackson is conveniently telling the story again...) Plus: DJ Jazzy Jeff reveals he mixed Jill Scott's classic albums under the alias "George Glass" — and even won awards under the fake name. We debate who invented the producer tag, break down 9th Wonder's Billboard chart experiment (spoiler: Reasonable Doubt didn't sell in '96 and it's still a classic), and confess which albums our younger selves overrated. Stacy brings a full segment of 90s songs you didn't know were covers — Brian McKnight's "Crazy Love," Maxwell's "Woman's Work," Monica's "Angel of Mine," Xscape's "Who Can I Run To," Whitney's "I Will Always Love You," Destiny's Child's "Emotion," and more that will make you question your whole childhood. We also cover Uncle Luke's run for Congress, Mara Brock Akil asking for $50 MILLION to make the Girlfriends movie, a full turn-by-turn map breakdown of Sir Mix-A-Lot's "Posse on Broadway" (the whole song takes place on like six blocks!), the eternal debate of O-Dog vs. Bishop — psychopath or sociopath? — a 90s streetwear draft (justice for Cross Colours!), and Brian McKnight's truly diabolical Father's Day interview. We close it out with a full track-by-track revisit of Tevin Campbell's "I'm Ready" (1993) — the Babyface heat, the Prince problem, why "Shhh" should have never happened, and our final ratings.

Can music transform the brain and body? Recorded live at the Houston Museum of Natural Science, with 11-time Grammy Award winner Chaka Khan and MD Anderson neurosurgery assistant professor, concert pianist, and music medicine researcher Dr. Mei Rui for a conversation inspired by Rufus's classic “Tell Me Something Good.” Together they explore the neuroscience of rhythm, music as medicine, Chaka's early years in Chicago, the profound role music has played in connecting with her nonverbal nephew Tallon, and how emerging research may benefit neurodivergent communities. This episode was produced in partnership with the Houston Museum of Natural Science, the Chaka Khan Foundation, and MD Anderson Cancer Center.

Send us Fan MailVictor, Evelyn, and Mark hang out this week to talk about seeing a show with The Smashing Pumpkins, Nature Valley bars, settlers thoughts, pillow reviews, and the gang hits The Critter Corner.

Jared Mell is a surfer and shaper who grew up in Orange County, California, surfing Blackies and riding alt equipment—primarily longboards, but also eggs, fishes, alaias, etc. Mell's competed in many events, and landed many decent results, but they seem almost incidental to what he brings to the surf buffet. "Jared will be walking the nose backside and at the last second he'll turn switch," says Alex Knost, "and as I'm watching and celebrating that sort of maneuvering, he'll take an extra step with one foot over, do a head dip and whip his hair back, and dramatically recover into a matador-like soul arch with his eyes wide as can be and just staring into my soul, and then he'll burst into laughter as he rides past."  "I used to call Jared the one-man party," says filmmaker Jack Coleman. "Any function or hang was always full of mischief and laughs, hence the nickname, 'J-Rad.' He surfs radical and lives radical, always pushing the limits on land and in the water. Jared's a performance artist. Spontaneous. Unpredictable. From his reverse tube riding to his sultry transitions, Jared makes you watch." Mell has appeared in many surf films, among them Polyester, Groove Move, Free Jazz, Forbidden Trim, and Yi-Wo. His waves stand out. He surfs with an ease and grace and looseness that seems less the product of a serious training regimen than not trying too hard—like someone who perhaps adds a few beers to that "not trying too hard." And maybe a couple of cigarettes, too. "Jared Mell is the personification of the modern transitional surfer spanning the front-footed universe, into the back-footed and beyond," says Thomas Campbell. "He's the king of fun. He's a professional professional at having fun."  Today, Mell is based in Bali, where he moved around 2009. He lives and shapes in the Canggu area. In this episode of Soundings, Mell talks with Jamie Brisick about growing up in Newport Beach, maintaining perspective, staying loose, scoring waves at unexpected moments, and ditching contests to see Chaka Khan perform live in concert.   Presented by Rainbow® Sandals  Produced by Jonathan Shifflett.

Leo Rossi spent decades behind the scenes with legendary artists including Fleetwood Mac, The Who, Brian Wilson, Prince, Chaka Khan, and many of the musicians who shaped modern music. But this conversation isn't really about rock and roll. It's about purpose. Leo shares remarkable stories from inside music history, the lessons he learned from creative geniuses, how one decision at 15 years old altered the course of his life, and why losing his son ultimately led him toward a mission that's impacting children around the world. This is a conversation about legacy, generosity, faith, and living the magic of every moment.   Show Partners: Get your MENTAL FITNESS BLUEPRINT here!

Sean Farrington speaks to Jackie Jantos, CEO of popular mobile dating app Hinge, about finding romance in today's rapidly-changing digital world.Launched back in 2013, US-based Hinge has steadily grown to become one of the world's biggest mobile dating apps. As of 2025, there were 30 million users on the platform looking for romance all over the world - up from half a million just 10 years before.Hinge encouragingly bills itself as the ‘app to be deleted', and unlike many competitor apps, its focus is on creating real interactions - for example, encouraging users to like photos or prompts - rather than quickly swiping left or right.In a crowded industry worth billions of dollars, the app, owned by the American dating giant Match Group, has a difficult balancing act to maintain. It has to innovate to attract new users and make a profit, while also ensuring their users find romance and so do not have to keep using the app.Thank you to the Big Boss Interview team for their help in making this programme.

They join us ahead of the release of their new album, Hazel Eyes, which is released on 21 August and features their new single, My Guy. But first, it's time for the long-awaited debut of lobster on Dish, the perfect star ingredient for a guest who once had aspirations to be a fishmonger, and also ideal to help Angela through a small hangover.  Sam lives in New York with their partner Christian, and tells us about the impact the move has had on their tastebuds and their capacity to handle heat. They've also recently started a food blog on Instagram, SamServed, where you can get a glimpse of their favourite dishes including fish and chips, peanut butter and chicken wings. Another favourite is turnip cake, which tastes so good, Sam had it tattooed on their body.   We start with caviar on crisps and ice cold Waitrose Blanc de Noirs Champagne, before Angela serves up lobster rolls with lemon & dill. The Waitrose wine experts paired this meal with a bottle of Famille Brocard Organic Chablis 2025 Burgundy.  Sam loves food (even more than music) and tells us about the addictive joys of touring, where they can combine both passions.

So I think writers, what are they going to draw on?”Mark Savage speaks to musician Paul McCartney.Born in Liverpool, England, during the Second World War, he found fame as a member of the legendary British band The Beatles in the 1960s, widely regarded as one of the most influential acts in music history.McCartney shared primary singing and songwriting duties with bandmate John Lennon, and along with George Harrison and Ringo Starr, the four-piece became a global pop music sensation with hits such as Twist and Shout, Yesterday and Hey Jude.They remain one of the best-selling musical acts of all time alongside the likes of Elvis Presley and Michael Jackson.McCartney was knighted for his services to music in 1997, but despite his huge achievements, the 83-year-old seems to be showing no interest in retirement — he's releasing his 19th solo album.The Boys of Dungeon Lane is inspired by his experiences growing up in post-war Liverpool, during which a young McCartney, carrying a guitar and wearing a bowler hat to catch attention, would hitchhike with John Lennon to places as far away as Paris.
