Designer, craftsman, artist and educator, Norman Teague, grew up in Chicago absorbing the sounds, colors, textures and vibes of his “hood,” fancy cars, and Auntie Aretha's painting. A highschool Drafting elective was his first real step into the design field, which he then traversed with aplomb through an MFA at SAIC, to the Venice Architecture Biennale, to MoMA, to the design team of the Obama Presidential Center. At the helm of his namesake design studio, he's built a storied, critically acclaimed career, and a powerful legacy of challenging the design canon, cultural storytelling, and educating generations of future designers.Images and more from Norman Teague on our website!Clever is hosted & produced by Amy Devers, with editing by Mark Zurawinski, production assistance from Ilana Nevins and Anouchka Stephan, and music by El Ten Eleven.SUBSCRIBE - listen to Clever on any podcast app!SIGN UP - for our Substack for news, bonus content, new episode alertsVISIT - cleverpodcast.com for transcripts, images, and 200+ more episodesSAY HI! - on Instagram & LinkedIn @cleverpodcast @amydeversSpecial thanks to our sponsors!Wix Studio is a platform built for all web creators to design, develop, and manage exceptional web projects at scale.Clever listeners get an exclusive 15% discount on Saily data plans!

Mirror, mirror on the wall. If only my mirror could show me all. We humans love our mirrors. At some deep-rooted level, we love to see ourselves. Maybe you remember the famous scene in the movie Lawrence of Arabia when Peter O'Toole playing Lawrence first puts on the white Arab robes and headdress. He is for the moment all by himself in the desert, so there is no dialogue. According to the film's director, David Lean, the only instruction he gave O'Toole was to improvise what this young man Lawrence might have done in this situation. O'Toole experiments with the sweep of his robes by running and spinning, feeling the gleaming white cloth swirl about him. Then he stops, and with no mirror to hand in the desert, takes out his shiny silver dagger from his belt and tries to use it as a mirror to see how he looks. David Lean remembers remarking under his breath during the filming, “Clever boy!”  Looking into a mirror, though, only gives us a limited perspective. We can only see what is in front of us. It takes multiple mirrors for us to be able to see our backs. Frankly, we have blindspots, spots that are difficult or nearly impossible to see. I always rely on a friend who can tell me if my hair looks okay in the back or if the tag on my shirt is sticking out. From time to time it's a good idea to check your harp blindspots too. These blindspots are usually related to inefficiencies in our practice or skills we need to develop. They may be hampering or slowing down our progress. And the good news is that once you see the blindspot, just like the tag that is sticking out, you can fix it. So in today's show, we'll review 7 common blindspots. If none of them are yours, at least not right now, that's great. You'll have some additional knowledge you can use to keep them in check. But if you think your harp playing should be moving faster than it is, perhaps one or more of these blindspots will show you what you haven't seen before, and you can get started removing that spot right away.

Heroes aren't just the ones who bring home medals. Hero Redefined: Profiles of Olympic Athletes Under the Radar (Clever Cleever, 2025) delves into the lesser-known stories of Olympic athletes—and a couple of special Olympic venues—that challenge the conventional narrative of glory and gold. In riveting personal profiles exploring herculean feats of strength, perseverance, and sportsmanship, award-winning sports journalist Doug Levy offers a new vision of heroism. There is more than one path to greatness, and the extraordinary acts of resilience and personal sacrifice by these athletes have left an indelible mark on the spirit of the Olympic games in quiet but fundamental ways through the ages. Each chapter reveals a different face of heroism—immense resilience, strength of character, unparalleled sportsmanship, an incredible zeal to compete, and a seemingly superhuman will to finish. Throughout, Levy celebrates the heroic human spirit and its relentless drive to carry the torch forward—both inside and outside of the Olympic Games. Paul Knepper covered the New York Knicks for Bleacher Report. His first book was The Knicks of the Nineties: Ewing, Oakley, Starks and the Brawlers That Almost Won It All. His next book, Moses Malone: The Life of a Basketball Prophet, will be out on November 1. You can reach Paul at paulknepper@gmail.com and follow him on Twitter @paulieknep.

Vorstellungsgespräch Sprüche wirken wie ein Turbo, denn mit den richtigen Worten bleibst du im Kopf – und sicherst dir den Job.   Warum sind knackige Vorstellungsgespräch Sprüche so stark? Einerseits erzeugen Worte sofort Bilder. Andererseits wecken diese Bilder Gefühle. Weil Gefühle Entscheidungen lenken, solltest du jeden Spruch zusätzlich mit einer kurzen Story verankern. Dadurch wird aus frecher Phrase handfeste Kompetenz, die dein Gegenüber deutlich spürt.   Nachfolgend findest du meine zehn besten Sätze – alle unter 20 Wörtern, dadurch leicht merkbar, jedoch maximal wirkungsvoll:   „Ich bin der Typ für Projekte, die nicht scheitern dürfen.“ „Dieser Job sitzt mir wie ein Maßanzug.“ „Wissen kann man googeln; Haltung bringt man mit.“ „Ich entlaste Sie, statt nur zu beeindrucken.“ „Keine Superkräfte. Nur Resultate, die so wirken.“ „Ich kann nicht zaubern, aber es fühlt sich so an.“ „Ich komme, um Wert zu schaffen – nicht um Zeit zu füllen.“ „Für Können gibt's nur einen Beweis: Tun.“ „Wer immer tut, was er schon kann, stagniert.“ „Soft Skills holen den Job, Hard Skills behalten ihn.“   Setz einen Spruch – anschließend liefer Fakten nach dem Muster Problem – Aktion – Ergebnis. So bleibt dein Satz glaubwürdig. Beispiel: „Projekt X lag vier Wochen zurück, deshalb richtete ich Daily-Workflows ein, sodass der Launch 30 % schneller kam.“   Fehlt dir spontan eine Antwort? Dann verschaffe dir, dennoch charmant, etwas Luft: „Ich bin genauso gespannt wie Sie, was ich jetzt sage.“ Der Recruiter lächelt, während du kurz nachdenkst und schließlich um Präzisierung bittest. Dadurch entsteht eine lockere Atmosphäre, zudem gewinnst du wertvolle Sekunden.   Trotz aller Formulierungen gilt: Ein Spruch ersetzt niemals Expertise. Vielmehr ist er das Salz, allerdings nicht die Suppe. Daher kombiniere jeden Satz mit Zahlen, Resultaten oder Referenzen. Somit verwandelst du Emotion in Überzeugung.   Zum Schluss ein Profi-Move: Stelle selbst Fragen, wodurch du weitere Bilder pflanzt. „Woran würden Sie in sechs Monaten merken, dass ich die perfekte Wahl war?“ – dadurch lenkst du das Gespräch direkt auf Erfolgsszenarien, in denen du die Hauptrolle spielst.   Üb die Sprüche laut, außerdem kombiniere sie wie LEGO-Steine. So hast du, sofern nötig, jederzeit einen passenden Baustein parat. Damit wirst du gesehen, gehört … und eingestellt.  

Another week, another Hackaday podcast, and for this one Elliot is joined by Jenny List, fresh from the BornHack hacker camp in Denmark. There's a definite metal working flavour to this week's picks, with new and exciting CNC techniques and a selective electroplater that can transfer bitmaps to metal. But worry not, there's plenty more to tease the ear, with one of the nicest cyberdecks we've ever seen, and a bird that can store images in its song. Standout quick hacks are a synth that makes sounds from Ethernet packets, and the revelation that the original PlayStation is now old enough to need replacement motherboards. Finally we take a closer look at the huge effort that goes in to monitoring America's high voltage power infrastructure, and some concerning privacy news from the UK. Have a listen!

"To actually dream is crazy... you gotta have something wrong with you to really do something you've never seen done before." In this soul-stirring Detroit is Different conversation, Khary Frazier sits down with Desmond “Clever” Lester—media innovator, promoter, and community connector whose journey from Joy Rd to Oak Park and the airwaves of Detroit radio has shaped a legacy of creativity and resilience. Clever shares powerful reflections about Black Detroit's deep Southern roots, his family's move from Nashville in 1959, and the vibrant culture of neighborhoods that felt like home, not "the hood." From interning at WJLB under Chris Kelly to launching Clever Vision and co-creating events that brought a new wave of comedy and culture to the D, Lester opens up about his calling as a storyteller and his commitment to showing love to the community—like giving up prom money to help after his house burned down. "The barbershop used to be our church," he says, explaining the origin of The Fellowship—a monthly men's gathering rooted in integrity and brotherhood. Packed with humor, Detroit history, real game about promotion and production, and heart-wrenching stories like his father's Olympic boxing dreams cut short, this episode is a tribute to the past and a call for Black Detroiters to honor, heal, and build the future together. “Perception is reality,” Lester says—so listen close, and see legacy in motion. Detroit is Different is a podcast hosted by Khary Frazier covering people adding to the culture of an American Classic city.

In this Summer Rewind episode of Two Women Chatting, we're joined by organisation expert and 'Sort Your Life Out' TV favourite Dilly Carter, bringing her no-nonsense wisdom and heartfelt compassion to one of midlife's trickiest transitions - what to do with 'all the stuff' once the kids move out, or when it's time to help parents downsize.

What if the expert quote you just read in a news article wasn't written by a human — but by AI? That's already happening.  A PR tool called Synapse is selling agencies the ability to fire off automated expert pitches to journalists, complete with research, personal-sounding anecdotes, and polished email copy — all with minimal human input. It promises one person can do the work of five and crank out twenty media pitches an hour.  But is this innovation, or is it a warning sign for the future of public relations? In this episode, we're unpacking what Synapse means for PR and media. We'll explore why this kind of automation raises ethical alarms, how journalists are likely to respond, and what PR professionals need to do right now to protect trust, credibility, and the real value we bring to the table.  Listen For6:12 Creepy or Clever?

Lance, George, Sir Bradley Wiggins, and Spencer Martin (aka “The Professor”) break down Valentin Paret-Peintre's impressive ride to win atop the iconic Mont Ventoux summit finish, holding off a persistent Ben Healy and the fast-closing GC duo of Tadej Pogačar and Jonas Vingegaard. They discuss how Paret-Peintre and his Soudal–QuickStep team leveraged their combined strength to secure the first French stage win of this Tour, what Vingegaard's resurgent climbing form means for the GC battle, and how Mathieu van der Poel's rest-day withdrawal and Jonathan Milan's failure to score at the intermediate sprint impact the Green Jersey competition.

"Dinosaurs eat man. Woman inherits the Earth." It's a double feature summer at Movies That Made Us Gay, and we watched the original "Jurassic Park" and the latest entry "Jurassic World: Rebirth" with our friend and the newest member of the MTMUG Five Timers Club, Hiko Mitsuzuka. His monogrammed smoking jacket is on back order. Listen, what else can be added to the conversation about the original Jurassic Park? Yes, Laura Dern was a sexual awakening for many a young gay girl (and boy), yes the Dilophosaurus is a lesbian icon (much like the aforementioned Laura Dern), and yes Robert Muldoon (Bob Peck) in kahki short-shorts made us feel some type of way with those bulging thighs. But we're here to add to the conversation as well as talk about the latest - and possibly queer-est (most queer?) entry into the Jurassic canon. While there may be subtext indicating a possible future love story between Dr. Henry Loomis (Jonathan Bailey) and Zora Bennet (Scarlett Johansson), we would like to point out that Jonathan and SacrJo could still turn out to be gay besties in the inevitable sequel. Did Scarlett let out a sigh of relief when she found out her male lead in this film is an out gay male actor? Possibly. Should the filmmakers have just given in and let Jonathan play the role using his normal accent? Listen, Sam Neill's hybrid Kiwi-American accent worked just fine in the original. "Slutty little glasses" and questionable accents aside, Jonathan Bailey and Scarlett Johansson are a welcome addition to the Jurassic family. Is that a read on previous cast members? We'll let you decide.

The term 'bird brain' might suggest our feathered friends are stupid, but Hannah and Dara learn it's completely untrue. They play hide and seek with a raven called Bran, and hear how his behaviour changes depending on his mood. Corvid expert Nicola Clayton explains these creatures are actually cleverer than the average 8-year-old, and can learn how to choose specific tools for different scenarios. And neurobiologist Andreas Nieder tells them that while crows evolved totally different brains from humans - 300,000 years apart - they might just be capable of the same type of intelligence.

When the going gets tough, the tough get going! At least that's what our righteous host, Mike Slater, thinks when it comes to a CLEVER maneuver that Senate Republicans pulled off in regards to getting needed parts of the "One Big, Beautiful Bill" back into the legislation without the express of the oh-so-important Senate Parliamentarian. Listen in to find out what the heck we're talking about!Following the opener, Slater gabs with Matt Boyle, Breitbart's Washington Bureau Chief and one of the best DC insiders in the game, about what the OBBB faces as it heads back to the House of Representatives. Will this thing be ready for President Donald Trump to sign on July 4th? Let's all find out together!
