Podcasts about Coffeehouse

80 years ago this week Japan surrendered to the allies, ushering in the end of the Second World War. To mark the anniversary of VJ day, historians Sir Antony Beevor and Peter Frankopan join James Heale to discuss its significance. As collective memory of the war fades, are we in danger of forgetting its lessons? And, with rising state-on-state violence and geopolitical flashpoints, is the world really safer today than in 1945?Produced by Patrick Gibbons.

Within Brims Skin. What'cha Gonna Do. #322 -- The gang is at it again. Brimstone is joined by his wing-man Alex DaPonte, Meg Suss and Brim's wife Danielle as they chat about the unfortunate passing of Dee from the old series What's Happening, and then they discuss the 6 foot bear wearing a Brimstone Tee sitting in the corner of the studio – apparently, Vermont Teddy Bear sent over a ginormous bear that he'll be giving away on social media shortly. They discuss the new specialty coffee that Brim is doing with The Cup Coffeehouse, a new collab coming shortly with Java Doodles, and Alex's 2am blunders. They discuss 80th birthdays, Library of Congress deleting parts of the Constitution, and Brim ends with a fun joke. Brim explains what gets Within Brim's Skin.

The history of how coffee shops (or cafes, among other terms) came to be. 

The Spectator and Douglas Murray have comprehensively won a defamation case brought by Mohammed Hegab.Hegab, a YouTuber who posts under the name Mohammed Hijab, claimed that an article about the Leicester riots, written by Douglas Murray and published by The Spectatorin September 2022, caused serious harm to his reputation and led to a loss of earnings. However, the judge found that the article did not cause serious harm to Hijab, that what was published was substantially true, and that Hijab had ‘lied on significant issues' in court and had given evidence that ‘overall, is worthless'. What does this case mean for the future of press freedom?On today's podcast, Michael Simmons discusses the case with Alex Wilson, The Spectator's lawyer, and Max Jeffery, who attended court on behalf of the magazine.Produced by Oscar Edmondson and Megan McElroy.

Is the Online Safety Act protecting children – or threatening free speech? Michael Simmons hosts John Power, who writes the Spectator's cover piece this week on how the Act has inadvertently created online censorship. Implemented and defended by the current Labour government, it is actually the result of legislation passed by the Conservatives in 2023 – which Labour did not support at the time, arguing it didn't go far enough.Michael and John joined by former Conservative MP Miriam Cates who defends the core aims and principles at the heart of the Act. They debate the principles of Big Tech, the risks of government overreach and whether freedom of expression is under threat.Produced by Megan McElroy and Patrick Gibbons.

Emisiunea de astăzi este încărcată cu subiecte care ne privesc pe fiecare dintre noi, de la tehnologie și politică internațională, la schimbările climatice și revoluțiile din industrie. Începem cu o întrebare esențială pentru zilele de vară: „Te-ai dat cu SPF?” Într-o lume în care expunerea la soare este tot mai periculoasă, protecția solară devine esențială pentru sănătatea pielii. Vom discuta despre importanța folosirii SPF-ului și cum să ne protejăm corespunzător de efectele dăunătoare ale razelor UV.La fel de important, dar mult mai grav, este subiectul despre măsuri pentru vămi. Într-o perioadă în care crizele economice și politice adâncesc tensiunile internaționale, măsurile de securitate și control al fluxurilor comerciale devin un subiect de interes major. De asemenea, discutăm despre salvarea Tomorrowland, un eveniment emblematic pentru muzica electronică, care a reușit să depășească multe obstacole pentru a rămâne un festival de renume mondial.Legătura dintre Trump și Epstein rămâne un subiect care stârnește controverse, iar emisiunea noastră va adresa acest subiect din unghiuri noi, aducând în discuție dovezi și speculații care leagă cele două personalități controversate. Apoi, un subiect care a atras atenția la nivel global – fără transgenderi la Olimpiadă. Este o decizie care ridică multe întrebări despre drepturile individuale, fair-play și incluziune, și va fi un punct de plecare pentru o discuție mai largă despre justiție și sport.În context internațional, SUA acuză Europa de cenzură. Discutăm despre reglementările din domeniul media și cum acestea afectează libertatea de exprimare, iar apoi aflăm de ce SUA se retrage din UNESCO, o decizie care are implicații semnificative asupra relațiilor internaționale și colaborărilor culturale.Un alt subiect controversat pe care îl abordăm este războiul dintre Thailanda și Cambodgia, care ne face să reflectăm asupra conflictelor regionale și cum acestea pot influența stabilitatea globală. În aceeași notă, discutăm despre un subiect cu implicații majore pentru viitorul nostru: țările se pot da în judecată pentru schimbările climatice. Este un punct de cotitură în lupta pentru protejarea planetei și pentru responsabilizarea celor care contribuie la deteriorarea mediului.Pe plan local, avem și GB.RO, WINWIN.FIT și COFFEEHOUSE.RO, branduri care redefinesc piața de produse din România. În continuare, poveștile incredibile ale „omului pește” Martin Strel ne aduc în față un exemplu extraordinar de perseverență și curaj, în timp ce Microsoft acuză China de spionaj industrial, un subiect care ridică întrebări despre securitatea cibernetică și politica globală.În tehnologie, discuțiile se intensifică cu noile telefoane: Google Pixel 10 Pro, CMF Watch 3 Pro și Xiaomi Mi Mix Flip 2. Vom analiza performanțele acestora și inovațiile care schimbă piața telefoanelor mobile. Totodată, AI-ul schimbă filmele și adolescenții vorbesc prea mult cu AI-ul sunt subiecte ce provoacă o reflecție asupra impactului inteligenței artificiale în viața cotidiană.În final, ploaia de stele și găurile negre care s-au ciocnit ne transportă într-un domeniu fascinant al științei, unde universul rămâne plin de mistere. Discutăm și despre Starlink, soluția de internet global care a început să revoluționeze conexiunile din zonele izolate, iar birth control pentru bărbați și plasticul peste tot sunt teme care ne pun în fața unor provocări importante pentru viitorul nostru.Așadar, emisiunea de astăzi este un amestec de teme relevante și subiecte care ne fac să reflectăm la direcția în care se îndreaptă lumea. Rămâneți alături de noi pentru a descoperi mai multe!

What's left of the Tories?The Commons is closing down for the summer, but Kemi Badenoch has treated us to a shadow cabinet reshuffle. At the beginning of the year, Badenoch's team were keen to stress stability, dismissing talk of an early reshuffle. But, as so often in politics, events have forced her hand. Ed Argar, the shadow health secretary, had a health scare earlier this summer. He has today stepped back from the frontbench to focus on his recovery. Badenoch is therefore using his departure as the chance to make what she calls ‘a few changes to my frontbench.'The headline is that Sir James Cleverly, former foreign and home secretary, is returning to the front bench as shadow housing secretary. Is his new position designed to take on Angela Rayner? And what's Badenoch planning to do about the Jenrick question? Lucy Dunn speaks to Michael Gove and Tim Shipman.

The strange death of Tory England has been predicted before. But never has the ‘natural party of government' faced a greater challenge to survive. The Conservatives are facing attacks on all fronts from Labour, the Liberal Democrats and Reform UK. Kemi Badenoch's six-month anniversary as leader was marked by the loss of nearly 700 councillors, with a stern test awaiting next year in Scotland and in Wales. She promises change with her long-awaited policy commissions, ahead of a make-or-break party conference in October, but can she turn it around? Is there a road back to power for the 121 surviving Tory MPs? And what exactly is Robert Jenrick and the rest of the shadow cabinet up to?Join editor Michael Gove, new political editor Tim Shipman, assistant editor Isabel Hardman and the pollster Luke Tryl as they discuss where the Tories go from here.This event is in partnership with Charles Stanley Wealth Managers.

"catch the hum of history"

As Labour looks to get a grip on public spending, one rebellion gives way to another with the changes to the Special Educational Needs and Disabilities (SEND) system threatening to become welfare round two. On this week's Saturday edition of Coffee House Shots, Lucy Dunn is joined by The Spectator's Michael Simmons and former Ofsted chief Amanda Spielman to explore what the government is planning – and why so many Labour MPs are worried. Is the system failing the children it's meant to support, or simply costing too much? And can Labour afford to fix it without tearing itself apart?Listen for: Amanda on the unintended consequences of the 2014 SEND overhaul; why teaching assistants may not be the silver bullet schools think they are; and Labour's mess over Ofsted. Michael Simmons also outlines the fiscal timebomb threatening local authorities; the cultural shift post-Covid that's changed how we approach education; and why one Labour insider is warning, ‘If you thought cutting support for disabled adults was bad, wait till you try it with children.'Produced by Oscar Edmondson.

Zut alors! The French are in town. Emmanuel Macron is on his state visit this week, spending time today with the King and tomorrow with the Prime Minister. His itinerary includes a state dinner and an address to both Houses of Parliament this afternoon.All the pageantry, of course, is for a reason: to defrost what Tim Shipman calls the ‘entente glaciale' and the stalemate over migration. Keir will be hoping to get the French to sign a ‘one in, one out' migration deal – with Labour seemingly surprised that, upon coming into power, the French didn't roll over and make concessions on small boats when a left-wing government took office. Can we expect a new entente cordiale? Is there anything in it for Macron when it comes to stopping the boats?We also received the sad news today that Tory grandee Norman Tebbit and regular Spectator contributor Jonathan Miller have passed away. We remember both of them on the podcast.James Heale speaks to Tim Shipman and Freddy Gray.Produced by Oscar Edmondson and Megan McElroy.

Cast your mind back a year. Labour had just won a storming majority, promising ‘change' to a stale Tory party that was struggling to govern. But have things got any better?In the magazine this week, Tim Shipman writes the cover piece to mark the occasion of Labour's first year in government. He takes readers through three chapters: from Sue Gray (freebies scandal and winter fuel cut) to Morgan McSweeney (a degree of professionalisation and dealing with the Donald) to the point at which ‘things fall apart' (assisted dying, the welfare vote and Reeves's tears).On the podcast, Tim is joined by The Spectator's James Heale as well as sketchwriter and long-time Westminster mischief-maker Quentin Letts to go through the events and personalities that have contributed to the dysfunction.Listen for: Tim's run-in with Lord Hermer at the US Ambassador's bash; why Jeremy Corbyn's mooted political party could cause a chasm in the Labour party to rival the one tearing the Conservatives apart; who the targets for the chop might be, should there be a reshuffle; how young members of the Labour party are beginning their charm offensive on Angela Rayner; and why politicians have failed to grasp the banal fundamentals that make a great political performer.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.

There have been a number of navel-gazing interviews with the Prime Minister over the weekend. Across thousands and thousands of words, he seems to be saying – if you read between the lines – that he doesn't particularly enjoy being PM.In better news, Labour seems to have quelled the welfare rebellion. Liz Kendall is making a statement in the Commons this afternoon, in which she will outline the concessions that Labour has made on its controversial welfare bill. All in, the cost has spiralled by £3 billion per calendar year – which an already put-upon Chancellor will have to find. Whilst it remains the largest rebellion of this government, the number of rebels has shrunk to around 50.Also on the podcast, Wes Streeting is due to announce his – much-delayed – ten-year plan for the NHS. We are expecting a number of big shifts in Thursday's announcement, including: moving from analogue to digital, swapping treatment for prevention, and hospital for community. Does Wes have the perspiration for the ailing NHS?James Heale speaks to Tim Shipman and Isabel Hardman.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.

As Labour rebels appear to have forced concessions from Keir Starmer over welfare this week, former Conservative MP Steve Baker joins James Heale to reflect on his own time as a rebel, and to provide some advice to Labour MPs. Steve, an MP for 14 years and a minister under Theresa May, Liz Truss and Rishi Sunak, tells James about the different rebellions he was a part of (from Brexit to Covid), explains how to organise a successful one and reveals how he has lost close friends when he has made the decision to compromise.He also blames Labour's problems on their ‘bombs not benefits' approach, explains why the current welfare rebellion demonstrates that ‘the facts of life are Conservative' and argues that it has been a mistake for the Conservatives not the support Labour's original approach to reducing the winter fuel allowance.Produced by Patrick Gibbons and Megan McElroy.

It is rare to see the President so visibly frustrated (see The Apprentice, circa 2004), but after Iran and Israel seemingly ignored his ceasefire announcement – and his plea on Truth Social, ‘PLEASE DO NOT VIOLATE IT!' – Donald Trump has come down hard on both sides. In a clip taken this afternoon he exclaimed: ‘These are countries who have been fighting so long and so hard, that they don't know what the f*** they're doing.' Succinctly put by the President.The exchange of fire could be the expected tit-for-tat seen after the announcement of ceasefires in other global conflicts, but it has dampened the mood at Nato, which world leaders were approaching with cautious optimism, believing the road to de-escalation was clearing. What happens next?Also on the podcast, Keir Starmer is facing a huge rebellion less than a year after coming into power. Overnight, scores of Starmer's MPs have signed a reasoned amendment to the Universal Credit and Personal Independence Payment Bill. This would effectively kill the bill at its second reading in the Commons on Tuesday. Can he de-escalate the precarious domestic situation?Lucy Dunn speaks to James Heale and Michael Stephens.Produced by Oscar Edmondson.

On this week's special Saturday edition of Coffee House Shots, James Heale sits down with Jeremy Hunt to discuss his new book, Can We Be Great Again?. The former chancellor and foreign secretary argues that Britain remains one of the world's most influential nations – but is in danger of losing its nerve. He reflects on working in the Foreign Office during Donald Trump's first term, makes the case for the BBC as a tool of soft power, and admits he wanted to be the first chancellor since 1997 to deliver a Budget with a whisky in hand.Produced by Oscar Edmondson and Patrick Gibbons.

The Spectator's economics editor Michael Simmons is joined by the outgoing boss of the Institute for Fiscal Studies Paul Johnson and the CEO of the Resolution Foundation Ruth Curtice to understand why Britain's economy is in such a bad place. Given it feels like we are often in a doom loop of discussion about tax rises, does this point to a structural problem with the British economy? And why are the public's expectations so out of line with the state's capabilities?Michael, Paul and Ruth talk about whether it's fair for Labour to claim they've been ending austerity, the extent to which the effects of the covid-19 pandemic are still being felt and if tax rises are inevitable. Plus – if Ruth and Paul had the opportunity to be an economic Treasury dictator, what one policy would they enact to make a big change?Produced by Patrick Gibbons. Hosted on Acast.
