When 39-year-old Eric Richins died unexpectedly in his sleep, the people who loved him were left searching for answers. But there was one thing they couldn't ignore: before he died, Eric had warned his family that his wife, Kouri, wasn't who she appeared to be. At first, those words seemed impossible to understand. Then, just months after his death, Kouri published a children's book about helping kids cope with the loss of a parent, a book she said was inspired by her own grief. To everyone, she looked like a devoted widow trying to help other families through unimaginable loss. But less than a year later, the truth would begin to unravel, and Eric's family would finally learn what really happened. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

In this episode of **The Industry Podcast**, we sit down with **Nicole White**, a bartender currently working at OPA, a Greek and Mediterranean restaurant in Waterville, Maine. Nicole traces her path through the hospitality industry — from her first job at Panera Bread and serving at Ruby Tuesday, to learning the craft behind the bar at The Speakeasy in Waterville, to becoming a full-time bartender in Newburyport, Massachusetts. Nicole's career eventually took her to San Diego, where she spent six years working at spots including Urban North Park (a New Haven-style pizza bar) and the now-closed Magic Dinner Theater in the Gaslamp Quarter, a speakeasy-style venue accessed through an escape room, known for elaborate, intentional cocktails like the smoked "Smoking Elephant" and a Manhattan served through a bullet-pierced glass. She also worked at a comedy club, giving her a unique window into hospitality under very different crowd dynamics. A pivotal early moment in her career was attending Gaz Regan's Cocktails in the Country in Cornwall-on-Hudson, New York, in 2016 — a four-day intensive she credits with shaping her approach to mindful, service-first bartending. The conversation also covers Nicole's deep involvement with **Camp Runamok** (Lush Life Production), where she's participated three times — first in the low-ABV Pathfinder cabin during her sobriety journey, then running the Suze-themed cabin, and most recently joining the beverage team, which included an R&D trip to the Monin facility in Nevada and a seven-day stretch making over 10,000 cocktails for 150 bartenders at camp. Nicole also discusses: - Moving back to Central Maine after her mother's stroke, and rebuilding her career and creative outlet from the ground up - Her certifications, including the ABCs of Canadian Whiskey and the Executive Bourbon Steward program through the Stave & Thief Society - Attending Behind the Barrel distillery experiences at Wilderness Trail and Wild Turkey - Her honest reflection on her relationship with alcohol and sobriety, and how that shaped the direction of her career - Her favorite bars and restaurants across Maine (Portland, Bangor, Rockport) and San Diego (North Park, Little Italy, Gaslamp) - Why she loves doing thoughtful riffs on classic cocktails as a way to make craft drinks approachable to guests ## Connect with Nicole White - Instagram / all platforms: @NicoleXTayl0r A big thank you to Jean-Marc Dykes of Imbiblia.

This week, New Orleans once again welcomes Tales of the Cocktail, an annual gathering of cocktail and spirits industry professionals. In honor of their arrival, we take a look at both a new player in the bar game and an old story about how a traditional favorite made its way into your glass. First, cocktail culture is making a notable splash throughout the African continent. We sit down with Mark Talbot Holmes, co-founder of Ajabu, a twice-yearly festival in Cape Town, South Africa, which highlights all aspects of this burgeoning business. Then, we hear from two-time James Beard Award winner Ted Genoways, author of Tequila Wars: Jose Cuervo and the Bloody Struggle for the Spirit of Mexico. Ted tells the real story behind the rise of Mexico's tequila industry – a tale that involves building railroads, a world's fair, the Mexican Revolution, and even American Prohibition. At the center of the story is Jose Cuervo, who isn't just a brand, but a real person born in Mexico's Tequila Valley in the late 19th century. His investment, innovation, and some clever maneuverings ensured the industry's survival and eventual flourishing success. Surprisingly, Ted's book is the first biography written on the legendary tequila-maker. For more of all things Louisiana Eats, be sure to visit us at PoppyTooker.com.

B and Tracy did something fun for Cocktailers - coming soon! We love Canadians. Justice for the Bathroom Chronicles! We had tea about Jax and his publicist's affair going all the way back to 2024, plus some updates by Cocktailers and friends who have eyewitness reports of the Mexico sightings. Is Brittany trying to get her Ariana/Ciara moment out of this? The Golden Life is getting more episodes- which means we get to see our OG RHONY ladies in The Hamptons. And, a pod exclusive - we're hearing there's another Housewife (not from RHONY) who will be filming too! Whitney vs. Lindsay - our thoughts. Thanks to RHOA we learned some interesting facts about pelvic floors. And we still have more questions. Shamea vs. Porsha: Is there any way they can move forward? There's one thing, particularly, that we find to be especially over the line about this fight.   This week's episode of Cocktails and Gossip is brought to you by our sponsor, Caraway.

Un elegante espositore circolare in legno scuro. Una parata di flaconi squadrati e minimalisti. A un primo sguardo, potresti pensare di essere entrato in una boutique di profumeria artistica. Poi il bartender, avvolto in un'impeccabile giacca bianca, estrae una mouillette — la striscia di carta utilizzata dai profumieri per provare le fragranze — e vi nebulizza sopra un'essenza.Non siamo nel salotto di una maison parigina. Siamo al Fitz's Bar, cocktail bar del Pillows Grand Boutique Hotel Maurits at the Park di Amsterdam, una delle tappe del mio viaggio in occasione della prima edizione di Europe's 50 Best Bars.

This is a Vintage episode from 2006.Why This Episode MattersHow America's cocktail golden age flourished from the Gilded Age through Prohibition and how it eventually gave way to highballs and vodka.Why pre-Prohibition whiskey was stronger, more aromatic and dramatically different from much of what followed.How cocktail historians reconstruct forgotten drinks using antique bar guides, vintage bottles and nearly vanished ingredients.Why Ted Haigh believes cocktails should engage an adult palate rather than conceal alcohol beneath sweetness.BanterMark Pascal and Francis Schott explore the emerging trend of beer cocktails, from shandies and Black Velvets to some considerably more questionable corporate creations.The ConversationCocktail historian Ted Haigh, better known as Dr. Cocktail, traces the rise, decline and early revival of the American cocktail. He explains how elaborate Gilded Age drinks survived Prohibition, only to be displaced by blended whiskey, highballs and increasingly neutral spirits.Ted shares how he uncovers forgotten recipes in antique books and newspapers, then searches for the obscure bottles needed to recreate them. The conversation moves from bonded whiskey and Amer Picon to drinks that deserved to disappear, vodka's reliance on marketing and the disputed 200th anniversary of the cocktail.Guest BioTed Haigh, widely known as Dr. Cocktail, is a cocktail historian, author and award-winning graphic designer. His research, writing and extensive collection of historic bar books, bottles and artifacts helped introduce a new generation to overlooked drinks from the pre-Prohibition and Prohibition eras. He was also one of the founders of the Museum of the American Cocktail. Timestamps00:00 Beer cocktails, shandies and pairing beer with food08:24 The golden age of American cocktails—and the rise of the highball12:19 Pre-Prohibition whiskey and the value of acquired tastes16:31 How forgotten cocktails are discovered and reconstructed20:05 Amer Picon, obscure ingredients and drinks best left behind25:20 The cocktail's disputed anniversary, vodka and raw eggsInfoTed's book Vintage Spirits and Forgotten Cocktails: Prohibition Centennial Edition Museum of the American CocktailCafe D'Alsace https://www.cafedalsace.com/If you want a chance to get two tickets to our Bourbon, Beer & Beefsteak and live recording with Sother Teague and Jack McGarry in New Orleans on July 21, 2026,sign up to be a Restaurant Guys Regular (our paid subscribers) here  https://restaurantguysregulars.buzzsprout.com/ Then email TheGuys@restaurantguyspodcast.com.

Pour ce podcast inédit de Chroniques Criminelles, direction la Mayenne, non loin de Laval. Ce soir du 13 février 2017, Laurent Tarlevé a tout prévu : avec un peu d'avance, il va fêter la Saint-Valentin avec Sonia, la femme de sa vie. Le cadeau, les roses, les bulles… tout y est ! Mais vers 20h, la soirée bascule : il s'écroule inconscient sur le canapé. Ce qui devait être une soirée romantique se transforme en cauchemar… Arrivés sur place, les secours sont perplexes. Car le récit de Sonia ne colle pas vraiment avec les constatations médicales… Alors que s'est-il vraiment passé ? La jeune femme dit-elle toute la vérité ? La réponse dans ce nouveau podcast de Chroniques Criminelles, raconté par Jacques Pradel.Hébergé par Audiomeans. Visitez audiomeans.fr/politique-de-confidentialite pour plus d'informations.

This was recorded on-location at Bar Convent Brooklyn 2026Why This Episode MattersHow five generations of the Hayman family helped shape London gin and why James Hayman sees himself as a guardian rather than an owner.Why Old Tom gin is not simply London Dry with extra sugar, and how its robust botanical profile changes classic cocktails.How authentic sloe gin is made with wild blackthorn fruit, months of infusion and considerably more patience than its neon-red reputation suggests.Why rising costs may tempt spirits companies to compromise and why James believes tradition and quality are the family business's best protection.BanterMark Pascal and Francis Schott reflect on Bar Convent Brooklyn and Tales of the Cocktail as places where bartenders, producers and increasingly knowledgeable consumers come together to exchange ideas, discover new spirits and renew old friendships. They also observe that cocktail culture has spread far beyond major cities and debate whether anyone attending an afternoon spirits convention is realistically going to work afterwardThe ConversationRecorded at Bar Convent Brooklyn, Mark and Francis sit down with fifth-generation gin distiller James Hayman to explore more than 160 years of family history of Hayman's Gin.James recalls growing up around the family distillery, where the aromas of botanicals made an early impression and visits to bottle shops became part of family vacations. He explains the responsibility of protecting recipes and methods developed generations earlier while still allowing the business to evolve.The conversation traces gin's transformation from the rough, inconsistent spirit of eighteenth-century London to the more refined styles that emerged during the nineteenth century. James explains the origins of Old Tom gin, why Hayman's helped revive it for modern bartenders.They then turn to sloe gin: wild blackthorn berries, high-proof gin, several months of extraction and the British tradition of carrying a flask to cold-weather sporting events. Francis contrasts real sloe gin with the syrupy versions that once appeared in drinks such as the Red Death and makes the case for restoring the good stuff to the modern cocktail bar.James also discusses Navy Strength gin, the wonderfully questionable gunpowder story behind its proof and the family's determination to keep making gin in London without cheapening its process. The episode closes with a frozen Martinez so good that Mark and Francis briefly consider the practical limitations of employing a frozen bartender.Guest BioJames Hayman is a fifth-generation gin distiller and co-owner of Hayman's Gin, which he runs with his sister, Miranda Hayman, and their father, Christopher. The family has distilled gin since 1863 and continues to produce its London Dry, Old Tom, Sloe and Royal Dock gins using longstanding family recipes and methods. Timestamps00:00 Bar Convent Brooklyn, Tales of the Cocktail and the value of cocktail gatherings07:22 James Hayman joins Mark and Francis at BCB09:00 Growing up inside a five-generation gin family13:00 How London gin evolved—and the origins of Old Tom17:42 Real sloe gin, the Blackthorn cocktail and the Red Death23:38 Why American and British gin habits are so different25:00 Protecting quality when costs rise27:43 The story behind Navy Strength gin30:10 The freezer Martinez and frozen-bartender logisticsInfoHayman's Gin www.haymansgin.com/Bar Convent Brooklyn: Event information www.barconventbrooklyn.com/Email TheGuys@RestaurantGuysPodcast.com for cocktail recipesIf you want a chance to get two tickets to our Bourbon, Beer & Beefsteak and live recording with Sother Teague and Jack McGarry in New Orleans on July 21, 2026,sign up to be a Restaurant Guys Regular (our paid subscribers) here  https://restaurantguysregulars.buzzsprout.com/ Then email TheGuys@restaurantguyspodcast.com.

We're so excited to welcome Melissa from @YourBishTherapist to the pod this week. Before we get into it, Amanda has an apology and clarification regarding a statement she made on the podcast last week. We ask Melissa about her thoughts on Kenny and Lindsay from In the City and learn about parental wounds and how they can contribute to the way people act everyday. Melissa has a surprising opinion on West and his lack of empathy. Parental wounds come up again as we discuss The Valley and break down the cast's motivations and behaviors, including what might be causing Nia to seemingly blindly support Danny at every turn. Kristen Doute may be struggling with postpartum depression, and Luke's not handling it in an ideal manner. Melissa can be found on Instagram, Youtube and Patreon at YourBishTherapist. For people who may be struggling with postpartum depression, call or text the National Maternal Mental Health Hotline at 1-833-TLC-MAMA.    This week's episode of Cocktails and Gossip is brought to you by our sponsors: -Homeserve: Join the millions of customers who trust HomeServe.

Guest: Julia Adams, Clear Ice & Bitters Last week, Julia Adams created a one-of-a-kind cocktail experience for co-host Mary Ann Steinhauer. This week, she turns her attention to Ray Loewe—and the result is entirely different. Rather than asking what someone wants to drink, Julia begins by getting to know who they are. Through thoughtful questions and remarkable listening, she uncovers memories, emotions, and experiences that become the inspiration for a cocktail designed for one person and one moment in time. Ray observes that this isn't an experience you can find just anywhere. Julia's focus on the individual is so complete that he realized he would enjoy the experience—even before he knew whether he'd enjoy the drink. The cocktail became almost secondary to the feeling of being genuinely heard and understood. Julia explains that her goal is simple: "I try to create a space where each person I design for feels special, even if it's only for a short while." This episode goes far beyond mixology. It's a conversation about intentional listening, creating meaningful experiences, and how making one person feel truly seen can become the greatest gift a host has to offer.
