Podcast appearances and mentions of Charlotte Street

#135Josh sits down with chef and sommelier Sandia Chang for a conversation that spans 20 years of restaurants on both sides of the Atlantic. From her start on the fish station at Bouley in 2003, to four years at Per Se under Thomas Keller, to a stint at Noma in Copenhagen alongside her now-husband James Knappett, Sandia eventually landed in London where the two opened Bubble Dogs (a champagne and hot dog bar on Charlotte Street) and Kitchen Table, now a two Michelin star restaurant. Along the way she became one of the UK's most knowledgeable voices on grower champagne and built Bubble Shop, her online platform for small-family producers most operators have never heard of.The conversation moves between the two service philosophies that defined her path. Per Se's "yes to everything" approach, where the team would prepare a different potato for Mick Jagger with every course, and Noma's "we will not make a cocktail because we are not great at making cocktails" approach. Sandia explains why both are right and how she's blended them at Kitchen Table. They dig into why simple food like a hot dog is harder to execute than a 20 course tasting menu, what actually changes when you get your second Michelin star (spoiler: the box checkers show up), the economics and politics of importing grower champagne into the UK, and the truth about running a restaurant with your spouse. It closes with the advice Sandia gave at the end: you don't go into something because you know what to do, you go into something because you want to learn how to do it.Links and resources

On this episode of Documentary and Drama on Newstalk, reporter Emma Tyrrell delves into the history of Dublin's tenement buildings in “Beyond The Hall Door: Life in a Dublin Tenement”.The documentary features firsthand accounts of former residents on what life was like in the capital's most densely populated accommodation from the 1940s to the 1970s, from cooking and cleaning to school and work. They describe the move from dilapidated one-room homes to new council flats and the switch to suburbia.Many of the recordings were made at one of Ireland's best known tenement buildings, 14 Henrietta Street, in Dublin's north inner city. The Georgian house was turned into a museum in 2018 and the documentary includes contributions from tour guide Pat Garry and social historian Donal Fallon.The former residents featured in the documentary once lived in tenements on Henrietta Street, Mary Street, Jervis Street and Charlotte Street. They include Jane Lynch, Rachel Naylor, Peter Hayes, Michael McAuley and Stephen Norton.A special thank you to the team at 14 Henrietta Street for their support in making this documentary. Also to Na Píobairí Uilleann, which allowed its headquarters at number 15 Henrietta Street to be used during the documentary.

Besides the issues raised by the nature of an omnibus motion itself (many of which are covered at the Victorian Local Governance Association podcast) there are several items included which will concern residnets interested in sustainable or active transport in Yarra.Liz Honey discusses her concerns, particularly around the Elizabeth Street bike lanes and the Charlotte Street park as well as the current Coppin Street trial. As a resident who uses her bicycle to replace many local car trips she is concerned that Council might not be able to meet the demands of the changes coming for Yarra. To read details about each of the items in the motion that will affect active transport and find out how you can make a statement or question to Council check out this precis here.

Asheville city leaders have had a “Complete Streets” policy in place for more than a decade—that is, a commitment to make streets as friendly to cyclists and pedestrians as they are to cars and trucks.We've seen that policy take shape in the form of so-called road diets along Charlotte Street and North Merrimon Avenue and the Riverside Drive Greenway. It's also the reason College Street and Patton Avenue are about to each lose a lane of automotive traffic to make room for bike lanes.And predictably, city officials are hearing a chorus of protests from people who envision apocalyptic traffic.Jessica Morris is the assistant director of the city's transportation department. She talks with us today about the coming changes downtown and how they're tied to the city's master plan. We get into how the city prioritizes and funds these projects. Jessica also does her best to make sense of projects that, to many, don't seem to make sense at all.Get five news headlines from around Asheville in your morning inbox.

The gift shop, which serves as a social enterprise for the Breton Ability Centre, is moving to Charlotte Street in June.

When Thomas More wrote Utopia in the 16th century, he ensured that all those who would seek out a perfect society, inspired by his book, would have to answer for the literal Greek meaning of its title: “no place.” So, has there ever been a utopia? It depends on whom you ask. Adrian Shirk, who joined Smarty Pants several years ago to talk about her previous book, takes utopia to mean communities that “have intentionally understood themselves as world-building a way out of a death-dealing system, in the service of making, if only briefly, some idea of heaven on earth—not just for themselves, but however foolhardy, for all of humankind.” From that definition—and from the bop by Belinda Carlisle, of course—comes the title of her new book, Heaven Is a Place on Earth, an exploration of moments and movements in American utopianism then, today, and tomorrow, from the Shakers to the rebuilding of the Bronx to a Waffle House by the side of the road.Go beyond the episode:Adrian Shirk's Heaven Is a Place on Earth: Searching for an American UtopiaRead essays that became part of the book: “A Brief History of American Utopian Communities,” “Odd Fellows at the Rockland Palace,” and “A Visit to Charlotte Street.”Also mentioned: Cultish: The Language of Fanaticism by Amanda MontellEven The New York Times is profiling the “new generation” of intentional communitiesYou can, of course, still visit the classicsTune in every week to catch interviews with the liveliest voices from literature, the arts, sciences, history, and public affairs; reports on cutting-edge works in progress; long-form narratives; and compelling excerpts from new books.
