The World Cup is just a week away and to mark the occasion, The Run-Through invited US Men's Soccer Team player Chris Richards on the podcast. Vogue fútbol fiends Taylor Antrim and Alyssa Hardy sit down with the young defender to talk about the journey to his first World Cup. Richards grew up in Hoover, Alabama, a town where American football reigns supreme. “Everybody knew everybody,” he explains, “and a lot of the kids that played soccer were also the kicker for the football team.” Soccer was hardly deemed a viable option. “I had teachers laugh at me when I told them I wanna do this for a living,” Richards tells the podcast, “But I just kept my head down and decided I wanted to prove them wrong. And I think I've done pretty well at that.”Fresh off an ankle injury, Richards is busy doing strength exercises and massaging the swelling down. He'll be sitting out the final friendlies match against Germany this weekend but is planning to play once the World Cup officially begins next week. “It feels like everybody's still kind of holding their breath.”They also chat about finding community through his time playing for Bayern Munich and Crystal Palace. “London is a beautiful place to find yourself. [South London] reminded me a lot of home—it's very hardworking and there are tons of cultures that I've been really excited to dive into.” The development of his personal style he also credits to his time abroad, being inspired by the influences of his teammates. Also on the episode, Chloe and Chioma catch up after some time apart. For the first time, Chloe served on the committee for the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund and had a part in determining the ten finalists. Chioma tells Chloe all about her time at the three-day British Vogue Wellness Retreat at Estelle Manor in the English countryside. Chioma, a wellness enthusiast, was in her happy place and where she got to participate in conversations around women's health and also activities like axe throwing and archery.  Other important news out of England this week was the wedding of Dua Lipa and Callum Turner at Marylebone Town Hall—at the same location where Chioma's parents wed many years ago! And if things couldn't get more exciting, Chioma met one of her all time favorite ladies at SXSW London: the Michelle Obama!The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture. Hosted by Chloe Malle, Head of Editorial Content, Vogue U.S.; Chioma Nnadi, Head of British Vogue; and Nicole Phelps, Director of Vogue Runway, each episode features the latest fashion news and exclusive designer and celebrity interviews.

After the death of Francois, Natalie is determined that Max is brought to justice, but Albert wants to be certain before he takes action. Meanwhile, a German flying ace and a plane on a secret list cause complications for Lifeline.  AJ and Andy find much to enjoy in this the penultimate episode of Series 2. As well as their appreciation for the Monique and Brandt storyline and Natalie's frustration at Max's continued presence at the Candide, they discuss Kessler's new bathroom, the amount of reported action in this instalment, and the question of who is the Prisoner of War of the title. Elsewhere Juliette Hammond (Natalie) reflects on a scene in this episode which brought her closer to Bernard Hepton's Albert; Chris Richards shares excellent technical information on the Messerschmitt Bf 110 (the plane on the secret list that Max sketches); and Ryan shares his immediate reaction on viewing the episode for the first time. All this and AJ shares an alternative vision for Max's end, before dropping tea all over their laptop. Thankfully this recording survived unscathed!

On the latest installment of The Deuce, Presented by Allstate, USMNT legend Clint Dempsey returns for all encompassing conversation with Rog on the state of the U.S. Men's National Team. Clint dives into Mauricio Pochettino's recent comments regarding American football fandom, how Christian Pulisic is navigating a difficult club season at AC Milan, and why winning an FA Cup has lifted Crystal Palace's Chris Richards to new heights.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Defender Mark McKenzie joins Heath on Episode 2 of Orange Slices for an unfiltered conversation that swings from the absurd to the intensely personal — and back again. First, the throw-ins. You've seen the clips. Toulouse FC literally puts out mixtapes of them. Mark walks through how a casual training-ground "let's see who can throw it the farthest" turned into a tactical weapon that's reshaped his club's set-piece game — and why he doesn't actually train it. Then the harder stuff. Mark and Heath both lived through the 2022 World Cup as the players who didn't make the final cut, and they talk openly about what that does to you: the bittersweet of watching as a fan, the family dynamic when everyone keeps saying "you should be there," and the mental work of switching from "why not me" to wanting the best for the group. It's one of the most honest conversations on what falling short of a World Cup actually feels like for the guys who came close. The episode lands soft with the part of national team life nobody talks about: the USMNT group chat. Chris Richards as the comedic timing king. The Aronson brothers going at each other. Mark trying to decode "skibbity toilet riz" and "six-seven." The cultural whiplash of an American kid landing in a French locker room and being told to slow down. Plus: MLS vs. Belgium vs. France stylistically, the 2026 World Cup format, and what it really means to wear the crest. New episodes Tuesdays and Thursdays.

On today's episode, Dr. Mark Costes is joined by his good friend and fellow Black Belt Coach, Dr. Taher Dhoon—co-founder of the Colorado Surgical Institute and owner of an 18-operatory dental practice—for a deep dive into implant complications. They kick things off with a candid conversation on time management, shiny object syndrome, and how to balance business success with family life and fulfillment. Dr. Dhoon shares the systems he uses to juggle clinical days, content creation, and high-level strategy, including his cleverly titled "Get Your Sh*t Done" days.   From there, they dive into the nitty-gritty of implant surgery complications—from the importance of case selection and managing patient expectations, to specific pre-op protocols like vitamin D, antibiotic regimens, and why SSRIs and bisphosphonates need extra attention. Dr. Dhoon also outlines his intraoperative strategies for preventing failures, such as the 50/50 drilling technique and why 45 Ncm of torque should be your new standard. The episode wraps with a practical post-op game plan for soft tissue management, follow-up protocols, and how to handle setbacks with confidence and composure. This conversation is a masterclass in surgical systems thinking, built from years of real-world experience. Be sure to check out the full episode from the Dentalpreneur Podcast!
