Eleven years ago, Kerry Diamond launched Cherry Bombe, a magazine dedicated to raising a glass to women in and around the food world. Since then,  it's grown into a media empire that includes podcasts, conferences and a fan base known as The Bombe Squad. She joins The Bright Side to talk about doing things on her own terms and how she learned to listen to her gut.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

THE CHERRY ON TOP—Cherry Bombe is a full-course meal. Its founder, Kerry Diamond, created the magazine after working in titles like Women's Wear Daily and Harper's Bazaar, and after working for brands like Lancôme. And in the restaurant industry. She worked in restaurants at a time when everything culinary was in the ascendance in the zeitgeist.That's also when Diamond realized a key ingredient was missing. None of the brash rising stars at the table were women. She had also been hearing from women who found the going in that world challenging. This in an industry that is difficult for everyone to begin with. Out of this came Cherry Bombe.Today, Cherry Bombe is a full-fledged and rising media empire. It's a magazine, sure, but their menu also includes multiple podcasts and a series of wildly-successful events. Their community, called the “Bombe Squad,” meet each other on Zoom, at the events, and form a tightly-connected sisterhood of fans and evangelists for the brand.Diamond makes it sound like she built all of this without a blueprint, and maybe she did. But just like the best recipes, sometimes the tastiest things are the result of the happiest accidents. Print Is Dead (Long Live Print!) is a production of Magazeum LLC & MO.D ©2021–2024

“Focus on the big picture,” says Valerie Chang, the chef and owner of Maty's, a 150-seat Peruvian spot in Miami. For her, that means more than awards (like her recent James Beard nomination) and the future of her restaurant. It translates to taking care of her mental and physical well-being and implementing a new kind of hospitality that's focused on service not servitude. Valerie sat down with host Kerry Diamond in Miami to talk about her career, her family's restaurant group (which includes B-Side and her brother's soon-to-open Peruvian-Japanese spot, Itamae Ao. Valerie also shares what she's learned in therapy, her thoughts on being a boss, and Maty's menu highlights, including a twist on the traditional Oxtail Saltado and, for dessert, nostalgic sweet potato butternut squash doughnuts known as Picarones.Thank you to Kerrygold, Walmart, and Johnnie Walker for supporting our show. Hosted by Kerry DiamondProduced by Catherine Baker and Elizabeth VogtEdited by Jenna SadhuContent Operations Manager Londyn CrenshawThank you to Newsstand Studios at Rockefeller CenterRadio Cherry Bombe is a production of The Cherry Bombe Podcast Network.

“You gotta believe there's a little magic sometimes,” says Liza Cólon-Zayas, who plays Tina on the hit series “The Bear.” A native of the Bronx, Liza wanted to act from a young age and was encouraged by her family. After studying at SUNY Albany, she worked in theater and appeared in everything from “Law & Order” to “Sex and the City,” but a major recurring role eluded her. Liza estimates that she's been rejected thousands of times over her decades-long career. When Liza was finally cast as the scrappy sandwich shop cook in the pilot for “The Bear,” alongside Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edebiri, it turned out to be her big break. The show became a hit with critics and viewers and was recently renewed for a third season. “I will never be casual about it,” Liza tells host Kerry Diamond. “I know what it's like to hustle and hustle.”On today's episode, Liza discusses why “The Bear” resonates so deeply with the hospitality industry, preparing for the role of Tina, dealing with rejection, Christmas in Puerto Rico, why she'd be trapped on a desert island with Anthony Bourdain, and more. Thank you to Kerrygold and S.Pellegrino for supporting our show.Click here to snag a copy of Cherry Bombe's holiday issue featuring Liza's story, or find a copy at a retailer near you. Hosted by Kerry DiamondProduced by Catherine Baker and Jenna SadhuEdited by Jenna SadhuEditorial Assistant Londyn CrenshawMusic by Tralala, “All Fired Up”Radio Cherry Bombe is a production of The Cherry Bombe Podcast Network.
