Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we delve into a series of developments that highlight the dynamism and complexity of our industry. The pharmaceutical and biotech sectors continue to evolve rapidly, driven by scientific innovations, regulatory shifts, and strategic initiatives.Eli Lilly's recent move to launch "Employer Connect," a platform aimed at improving access to its obesity medications, marks a significant step in addressing the growing public health issue of obesity. This initiative reflects the increasing influence of employer-driven healthcare solutions in managing chronic conditions. By directly involving employers, Eli Lilly seeks to enhance both the accessibility and affordability of its treatments, which could lead to better patient outcomes and reduced healthcare costs associated with obesity-related complications.In dermatology, Galderma has doubled its sales projections for Nemluvio (nemolizumab), an atopic dermatitis treatment, following a successful market debut. The revised projection to over $4 billion in peak annual sales underscores Nemluvio's strong market performance against competitors like Dupixent. This success not only highlights the drug's therapeutic efficacy but also indicates robust market demand for innovative dermatological therapies.Regulatory landscapes remain pivotal in shaping the industry. Vanda Pharmaceuticals' ongoing efforts to expand Hetlioz's label for jet lag treatment have been met with regulatory challenges since 2019. The FDA's response to Vanda's request for a public hearing underscores the complexities involved in navigating approval processes for label expansions. The outcome of such hearings could have broader implications for similar drugs seeking label amendments.Geopolitical dynamics also influence biopharma investments, with Ireland emerging as a stable manufacturing hub amidst global uncertainties. Despite geopolitical tensions, U.S. investments continue to flow into Ireland, highlighting its strategic importance as a location for biopharmaceutical manufacturing and innovation.In oncology, Pfizer is advancing its research and development strategy under Jeff Legos' leadership by leveraging its $43 billion acquisition of Seagen. The aim is to build an antibody-drug conjugate empire while advancing a PD-1xVEGF bispecific drug licensed from 3SBio. This approach underscores Pfizer's commitment to expanding its oncology pipeline through innovative therapies and combination regimens that could potentially transform cancer treatment paradigms.Meanwhile, Merck KGaA faces challenges with declining U.S. sales of Mavenclad due to anticipated generic competition. This situation reflects a broader industry trend where pharmaceutical companies must navigate patent expirations and generic market entries that threaten revenue streams of established products.Leo Pharma's launch of a direct-to-consumer campaign for Anzupgo, targeting hand eczema treatment, signifies the growing role of consumer engagement in pharmaceutical marketing strategies. Such approaches are becoming increasingly important in reaching patients directly.Collaborations remain a key driver of innovation within the industry. Daiichi Sankyo's partnership with German medtech Gaia to commercialize Lipodia—a digital therapeutic for high cholesterol management—illustrates the convergence between digital health technologies and traditional pharmaceuticals.In gene therapy news, uniQure finds itself in a contentious dialogue with the FDA over its Huntington's disease therapy. The debate centers around uniQure's claim that the FDA requested a "sham trial," which the agency denies. This situation underscores regulatory complexities surrounding gene therapies targeting rare diseases.Simultaneously, PepGen faces a partial clinical hold on its muscle wasSupport the show
Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. Today, we're diving into a series of compelling stories that highlight the intricate interplay of scientific innovation, regulatory dynamics, and strategic maneuvers shaping the industry.Starting with Moderna, the company has reached a pivotal resolution in a long-standing patent dispute involving its mRNA-based COVID-19 vaccine, Spikevax. This settlement involves a hefty $950 million payout to Genevant Sciences and Arbutus Biopharma, resolving claims of patent infringements. This agreement underscores the complex nature of intellectual property in the rapidly evolving mRNA landscape. Securing patent rights is crucial as new vaccines and therapies are developed, and this resolution not only clears a legal hurdle for Moderna but also exemplifies the industry trend towards resolving such disputes to foster continuous innovation.Sanofi has embarked on a significant strategic move by entering a $1.53 billion global licensing deal with Sino Biopharmaceutical. This agreement secures rights to a first-in-class JAK/ROCK inhibitor, which shows promise in treating hematological and immunological conditions. Such collaborations reflect the increasing focus on innovative therapies that target complex biological pathways, highlighting how companies are seeking unique assets to bolster their competitive edge.Regulatory scrutiny continues to be a formidable theme in the industry. The FDA has intensified its oversight on compounded GLP-1 drugs, issuing 30 warning letters to telehealth companies marketing unauthorized versions. This action highlights the agency's commitment to ensuring drug safety and efficacy while emphasizing the challenges companies face in navigating regulatory landscapes for compounded medications. Additionally, Novo Nordisk has been cautioned by the FDA regarding advertising practices for GLP-1 receptor agonists, illustrating the ongoing regulatory focus on pharmaceutical marketing strategies and compliance standards.Meanwhile, Bayer is experiencing a period of resilience in its pharmaceutical division, driven largely by its cancer drug Nubeqa and cardiovascular agent Kerendia. Despite these successes, Bayer faces challenges as revenues from older drugs like Xarelto and Eylea decline. This scenario reflects a broader industry challenge where companies must innovate while managing mature product lines facing generic competition.Teva Pharmaceuticals is making strategic strides by securing a $400 million deal with Blackstone to develop an anti-TL1A antibody for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), in partnership with Sanofi. This investment highlights continued interest in autoimmune and inflammatory conditions as lucrative targets for novel therapies. Financial partnerships like Teva's substantial agreement with Blackstone illustrate how such collaborations can support sustained R&D efforts in chronic disease management.Technological integration into healthcare is expanding rapidly, with Nvidia collaborating with Droplet Biosciences to explore AI applications in medtech and cancer research. These partnerships illustrate an industry shift towards leveraging artificial intelligence to enhance diagnostic capabilities and accelerate research efforts. Moreover, collaborations leveraging AI/ML technologies across drug discovery pipelines are gaining traction; Earendil Labs partnering with WuXi XDC exemplifies this trend alongside Merck & Co.'s multi-year AI oncology data deal with Tempus—enhancing precision medicine capabilities while expediting therapeutic discoveries.In terms of funding new therapeutic areas, ARPA-H has announced a $158 million initiative aimed at developing medicines targeting the lymphatic system. This marks an exploration into less charted territories within physiological research that could yield transforSupport the show
In this episode, we're talking about two practical strategies to grow your audience: collaborations and giveaways.CollaborationsThere are several ways to collaborate with someone who serves a similar audience:* Trade lead magnets and share each other's free resources* Create something together (like a devotional, challenge, or workshop) and promote it to both audiences* Participate in or host an online summit for expanded reachThe key is finding someone with overlapping—but not competing—messages so you both serve your audiences well.GiveawaysGiveaways can also help grow your platform when done strategically.* Solo giveaways: Offer a signed book or a resource related to your message. Encourage people to subscribe, like, comment, or share to enter—and be sure to include your current subscribers.* Group giveaways: Partner with others to offer a larger prize and expand your reach. Tools like King Sumo can help manage entries.Remember: growth isn't just about numbers—it's about attracting the right people who genuinely connect with your message.If this feels overwhelming, don't worry.

What if a simple webcam could unlock your computer and games without touching a mouse? We sit down with SensePilot co-founder Mike Hazlewood to unpack how head tracking and facial gestures become fast, precise inputs for everyday work and high-stakes play. Built for Windows and running entirely on-device, SensePilot keeps latency low, privacy intact, and enterprise approvals realistic—no cloud uploads, no special hardware.Mike traces the journey from a 2024 hackathon to a 2025 launch, where a bold idea met real-world testing. A friend with a spinal cord injury wanted to play Call of Duty again; designing for that level of precision made everything else—from Excel to email—more usable. Collaborations with SpecialEffect in the UK and a Ukrainian NGO supporting veterans revealed just how varied needs are, from ALS and muscular dystrophy to RSI and carpal tunnel. That diversity drove SensePilot's granular approach: tune trigger strengths, build unique profiles for desktop vs. gaming, and even switch profiles inside a single title for driving, flying, or on-foot movement.We also dig into the bigger picture of accessible technology and AI. On-device processing lowers security barriers and keeps assistive tools resilient when networks fail. Thoughtful AI support can speed text input and streamline workflows without replacing human judgment. The key is specificity—narrow, task-focused agents outperform generic models for accessibility testing and coding, while keeping the person's intent front and center.Looking ahead, Mike shares a vision for mainstream inclusion: optional head-tracking onboarding inside games like Microsoft Flight Simulator, letting anyone try hands-free immersion with one click. No wearables, no extra gear—just a webcam and curiosity. If accessible input becomes a standard feature, everyone wins: gamers gain immersion, and people with disabilities gain flexible, independent control.If this resonates, subscribe, share with a friend, and leave a review.

Back in the first episode of 2026, I shares some things I think craft chocolate can learn from craft beer. One of those lessons (and, upon reflection, one of the only positive ones) was to collaborate expansively. While craft chocolate makers periodically partner with breweries and coffee roasters, the avenues for collaboration in the industry remain pretty limited. That's a shame, because collaboration offers amazing opportunity to growing your chocolate business.This is the first in a four part bonus series called Collaborations for Chocolate Makers. In the series, we'll walk through different types of possible collaborations and how craft chocolate makers should go about them.In this first episode, we're stepping back and looking at collaboration more generally: What are the benefits, why should you do it, and what are considerations you should think about before beginning a partnership?If you have any thoughts, questions, or suggestions from this episode, please feel free to reach out!

One of the biggest challenges I hear from business owners ready to scale their reach is disappointment in how to make collaborations produce results. What could be growth fuel for their business has actually become a time and energy drain. Frustrated, they give up instead of optimizing their strategic partnership strategy. So why do collaborations work so easily for some expert-preneurs, but become a high cost for others? In episode 478 of Amplify Your Success podcast, I talk about the four discernment factors every leader needs to consider before saying yes to a collaboration. These are the filters that protect your time, your energy, your reputation, and your momentum as your visibility and opportunities increase. I share why misaligned collaborations create hidden costs, how discernment becomes more important than enthusiasm at higher levels, and what it actually looks like to build collaboration currency you can access on demand. This conversation is not about avoiding collaboration. It's about choosing aligned collaborations intentionally, so it compounds your authority instead of fragmenting it. If you've ever said yes to something that looked aligned but didn't feel aligned once you were inside it, this episode will help you understand why and how to choose differently moving forward. Key Takeaways: [00:00] Why collaboration becomes more complex, not simpler, as your visibility grows. [02:48] The hidden energetic, emotional, and strategic costs of misaligned collaborations. [05:31] Why enthusiasm is not a reliable decision filter at higher levels of leadership. [07:44] The four discernment factors that protect your time, energy, and authority. [10:22] How collaboration currency is built through trust, proximity, and contribution. [13:09] The difference between collaboration that compounds and collaboration that drains. [15:46] Why saying no strategically creates more long-term opportunity. [18:27] How aligned collaborations accelerate visibility without forcing momentum. Resources Mentioned in This Episode: The Collaborative Currency System is a 5 step strategy to unlock aligned strategic partners and activate a stream of ideal clients and growth opportunities.

This episode dives into the latest warnings issued by the Federal Trade Commission to major U.S. law firms regarding their participation in diversity certification programs. I outline the broader pattern of executive branch pressure and explore the implications for law firms and media companies. Key Topics Covered: FTC Chairman Andrew N. Ferguson's cautionary letters to 42 law firms participating in Diversity Lab's Mansfield Certification program, highlighting potential antitrust liability under the Sherman Act and FTC Act. The Mansfield Rule's origins, modeled on the NFL's Rooney Rule, and its focus on expanding opportunities for underrepresented lawyers without mandating quotas. Judicial decisions, including Perkins Coie LLP v. DOJ and Jenner & Block LLP v. DOJ, addressing claims of discrimination and political retaliation in the context of diversity initiatives and legal advocacy. The Trump administration's use of antitrust law to challenge perceived collusion in both legal and media sectors, including scrutiny of media partnerships like the Trusted News Initiative and high-profile media mergers. Broader ideological and regulatory trends, including heightened enforcement, government intervention in media ownership, and ongoing appeals in federal courts. Discussion Points: How coordinated diversity efforts may be viewed as labor-market collusion and the legal risks for law firms. The intersection of antitrust law, freedom of speech, and diversity initiatives in shaping the future of legal and media industries. The potential impact of executive orders and regulatory actions on the independence and competitive landscape of law firms and media companies. I discuss how law firms and media organizations must adapt to an environment of increased political scrutiny, regulatory enforcement, and ongoing legal challenges. Tune in for the latest in the evolving relationship between private power and government oversight. ______________________________________ Thanks for listening!

In this episode of Poducer, we sit down with Shami Sosa, a Chicago-based media producer, musician, and community builder whose work lives at the intersection of creativity, technology, and culture. From growing up immersed in photography and graffiti to producing music and building community spaces, Shami shares how wearing many hats shaped his creative identity. We dig into his journey from making early beats on cracked software to working with major brands and music tech companies, navigating trade shows like NAMM, and building Parallel Play, a listening room and learning space in Humboldt Park. Shami talks about finding opportunities through relationships, why showing up matters, and how community and consistency open doors in the long run. On the creative side, we get into hands-on gear talk with the Orchid synth, why limitations can spark better ideas, and how video games, sound design, and media production influence his musical process. We also talk about content creation in the algorithm era, balancing authenticity with production quality, and why originality and intention matter more than chasing trends or the newest gear. We wrap with reflections on culture, identity, staying grounded in creative industries, and what it means to keep building without losing the joy of making things.

Good morning from Pharma Daily: the podcast that brings you the most important developments in the pharmaceutical and biotech world. In today's episode, we delve into the dynamic landscape of these industries, exploring ambitious strategic plans, regulatory hurdles, scientific breakthroughs, and emerging trends that are shaping the future of healthcare.Let's begin with AstraZeneca, which has set an ambitious target to achieve $80 billion in revenue by 2030. This goal reflects their intention to bring over 25 blockbuster drugs to market, underscoring a commitment to innovation and expansion in their therapeutic portfolio. The focus on cutting-edge research is not just a strategy for growth but also a sign of the broader industry trend where large pharmaceutical companies pursue high-value targets to strengthen their market positions. AstraZeneca is also making strides in the weight-loss market with its new candidate elecoglipron, undergoing an extensive late-stage program to evaluate its efficacy as a monotherapy and in combination treatments for various indications. This development positions AstraZeneca competitively in the burgeoning sector, offering a novel therapeutic option for obesity management.Meanwhile, CSL Limited is undergoing a leadership transition. CEO Paul McKenzie has stepped down under pressure, and Gordon Naylor has been appointed as interim chief. This change highlights the critical role of strategic leadership in navigating industry challenges and maintaining growth trajectories amidst a rapidly shifting market landscape.In a display of financial success, Novartis reported a record-breaking performance for 2025. This achievement led to a 30% increase in CEO Vas Narasimhan's compensation, reaching $32 million. The company's robust financial health is attributed to advancing innovative treatments targeting unmet medical needs, emphasizing how achieving innovation milestones can significantly enhance corporate valuation and leadership rewards.Incyte is preparing for the patent expiration of its blood cancer drug Jakafi in 2028 by focusing on Opzelura, a topical cream that has witnessed a 33% sales increase from the previous year. With sales reaching $678 million, Opzelura's success highlights Incyte's strategic pivot to diversify its product offerings and mitigate risks associated with patent cliffs. This exemplifies how companies must continuously innovate and adapt to maintain competitive advantages.Moderna has entered into a long-term agreement with Mexico to ensure local mRNA vaccine supply through technology transfer to Laboratorios Liomont. This partnership extends Moderna's global footprint and underscores the critical role of mRNA technology in pandemic preparedness and vaccine accessibility, reinforcing its transformative impact on public health strategies.Regulatory landscapes have also seen notable activity. The FDA issued untitled letters concerning potentially misleading drug advertisements from companies like Novo Nordisk, Argenx, and Sobi. Such actions emphasize regulatory vigilance in marketing practices. Additionally, Lilly's Kinsunla failed to secure approval in Scotland, while Regenxbio faced rejection for its gene therapy for Hunter syndrome. These regulatory hurdles highlight the rigorous oversight pharma companies face and the complex pathways drugs must navigate before market approval.Collaborations within the industry are proving crucial for innovation. Merck's collaboration with Calla Lily Clinical Care aims to enhance delivery systems for vaginal therapeutics. Similarly, Bristol Myers Squibb's partnership with Evinova focuses on integrating AI into clinical development processes. These alliances reflect an industry-wide emphasis on leveraging technology to improve drug delivery efficiency and streamline clinical trial operations.Shifting our focus now to scientific advancements and clinical trial results that aSupport the show

Ian Von sits down with Grammy-nominated singer, songwriter, and Love King Raheem DeVaughn for a raw convo on artistry, independence, and love as a lifestyle. Raheem breaks down why he's often seen as an “underground king,” his path from background singer for Ginuwine to respected solo artist, and how he's stayed consistent and independent for 20+ years. He talks creative process (rarely writing lyrics down), balancing sensuality with socially conscious “edutainment,” his community work, and why his best song is still ahead of him. They also touch on the state of R&B, the streaming era's flood of music, live performance strategy, generational influences, and dream collabs. If you love real R&B and game from an OG still ascending, this episode delivers.

Kattakuzhy, MD, joins “The UMB Pulse” this month to talk about her research exploring whether semaglutide (a GLP-1 medication widely used for diabetes and weight management) could help reduce cravings and improve outcomes for people with stimulant use disorder.Kattakuzhy, who is also the co-director of the Kahlert Institute for Addiction Medicine at UMSOM, describes the design of the STAC Study, which is evaluating the safety and tolerability of semaglutide in people with cocaine use disorder, including participants with and without HIV, while also tracking secondary outcomes such as changes in drug use and cravings.She also discusses why stimulant use disorders, including cocaine and methamphetamine use disorder, have been especially challenging to treat, and how her work through the University of Maryland, Baltimore community-based research partnerships aims to expand treatment options and reduce stigma around substance use disorders.To learn more about this trial or for referrals, contact Dr. Kattakuzhy at skattakuzhy@ihv.umaryland.edu.00:00 Introduction to Addiction and New Research00:40 Meet Dr. Sarah Kattakuzhy01:45 A Day in the Life of Dr. Kattakuzhy03:57 The Journey to Addiction Research07:40 Exploring Semaglutides for Addiction Treatment12:34 Details of the Clinical Trial20:29 Challenges and Hopes in Addiction Treatment24:31 Collaborations and Future Directions27:39 Final Thoughts and Takeaways32:13 Post-Interview InsightsListen to The UMB Pulse on Apple, Spotify, Amazon Music, and wherever you like to listen.

Eddie Angel joins me on the show today. Eddie is a guitarist, producer, and one of the founding members of the legendary instrumental surf-rock band Los Straitjackets.Eddie grew up in Southern California, steeped in classic rock 'n' roll, surf music, and vintage guitar tones, and he's spent decades helping keep that spirit alive while pushing it into new territory. Eddie was a well respected guitarist in the California rockabilly scene, and moved to Nashville to work with the Planet Rockers in the 80's. Sometime in there, her formed a new band that became Los Straitjackets, and put out their first record in 1995. They also donned some luchador masks and have basically never taken them off since. They've gone on to record 14 studio albums, and 8 live albums. Their newest album is called “Somos” and is up there with their best work as a band. What started as an instrumental surf outfit quickly became something much bigger, blending rockabilly, garage, country, and cinematic guitar music into a sound that's unmistakably their own.Another interesting facet to Eddie's career is as a collaborator, most notably working with Nick Lowe. The partnership between Lowe and Los Straitjackets has also gone on for years and is something they both continue to explore when the opportunities arise. Collaborations with Deke Dickerson and Eddy Clearwater are also notable projects that are a great example of interesting things coming along when you remain open to ideas.In this conversation, we talk about Eddie's early influences, the origins and evolution of Los Straitjackets, and what he's learned from a lifetime of playing, producing, and collaborating at the highest level.You can get all the latest info and tour dates for Eddie and Los Straitjackets at: losstraitjackets.comEnjoy my conversation with Eddie Angel!This season is brought to you by our main sponsors Larivée Guitars, Audeze, Izotope, FabFilter, and Chase Bliss.

The trumpet player and composer Nadje Noordhuis joined me for a wide-ranging conversation about identity, creativity, and carving out a life in music on her own terms. Nadje reflects on her early musical upbringing in Sydney, Australia, and the formative training that led her toward jazz trumpet. She remembers her friend Lois Martin, and Nadje speaks candidly about experiences of sexism in the music world, and the challenges of breaking into the New York jazz scene—financial struggles, years at the Manhattan School of Music, and finding her footing as a woman in jazz.She reflected on her collaborative project Multitudes with composer James Shipp, and you'll be hearing clips from that project as well as Gulfoss with Maeve Gilchrist, Full Circle with Fred Hersch. She talked about being about to record with the legendary engineer Jan Erik Kongshaug, and Nadje encourages all of us to take risks to follow our own paths. Complete Show Notes with all the links!

Hello mes chers amis, ici PaulineJe suis ravie de vous retrouver pour une nouvelle leçon du mercredi, ces formats où j'essaie d'apporter des réponses très concrètes à des problématiques de terrain.Aujourd'hui, je reçois Serena fondatrice de la marque de sous-vêtements Akimba qui a lancé il y a un peu plus de deux ans un produit innovant, utile et très bien pensé.Serena a déjà une base clients solide, un bon taux de réachat… mais elle se heurte aujourd'hui à un sujet central pour toutes les jeunes marques :
Whether you love AI or hate it, one thing is clear: IT'S HERE TO STAY. We've all seen the AI and deepfake videos floating around the internet lately and they're equal parts fascinating and terrifying! And no, the creator industry is not exempt from this shift. In fact… it's already showing up inside brand deal contracts! In this episode, I'm walking you through what I'm actually seeing right now when it comes to AI and brand partnerships from both the brand side and the creator side so you can think bigger about how you negotiate, protect yourself, and future-proof your business. Because here's the part most creators don't realize yet: If it's not in the contract, it can arguably be allowed.

On this episode of HALO Talks, host Pete Moore sits down with Chris Rotondi, franchisee of a Serotonin Center in Greenwich, Connecticut. From his early days as the 13th employee at Shift4 to his foray into the HALO (Health, Active Lifestyle, Outdoor) space, Chris talks about his entrepreneurial path and passion for biohacking, longevity, and helping others transform their lives. Listen now as Pete and Chris discuss the hard truths behind starting and scaling a HALO business, the importance of authentic local marketing, and the unique advantages (and sometimes challenges!) of joining a strong franchise network. Whether you're interested in the business side of wellness, new trends in anti-aging, or just enjoy hearing candid stories from the front lines of entrepreneurship, this episode delivers plenty of insights and takeaways. (And if you missed it, we interviewed Seratonin Center CEO Eric Casaburi a while back. Link down below.) On expanding within a franchise, Rotondi states, "After your first store it gets a lot easier to take where you are in that first location, and start the second one from that same level, rather than going back and having to relearn all those rookie mistakes that maybe you made when you first opened." Key themes discussed Chris's inspiration to open a Serotonin Center. The importance of word-of-mouth and community marketing. Challenges and rewards of operating a franchise. The evolving mainstream acceptance of biohacking and longevity practices. Collaborations and partnerships with local businesses for mutual growth. Scaling, staffing, and operational complexities in health franchises. A Few Key Takeaways: 1.Entrepreneurial Path & Inspiration: Rotondi shared how his extensive experience at Shift4, where he was surrounded by entrepreneurs and watched a company scale from startup to IPO, inspired him to eventually strike out on his own. This not only shaped his mindset but also gave him the confidence and motivation to take the leap into business ownership. 2. Choosing Serotonin Centers Was a Passion Play: Rather than conducting an exhaustive analysis of possible business options, Chris says that he was immediately drawn to Serotonin and felt a strong alignment with the concept. He dabbled in real estate but realized he needed a business that delivered a tangible positive impact—and found that in the HALO space. 3. Transformative Results Make the Business Rewarding: The most fulfilling aspect of running the center is seeing noticeable transformations in clients—whether it's 35-40 pounds of weight loss or improved health outcomes. These stories not only validate the mission but also create infectious momentum through word of mouth. 4. Franchising as a Strategic Advantage: Rotondi also emphasizes the value of being part of a franchise system, especially in a highly regulated, evolving industry like health and longevity. The franchisor provides critical infrastructure, best practices, and ongoing support, allowing franchisees to scale faster and avoid common pitfalls that solo operators might typically face. 5. Local Networking & Authentic Marketing Are Key: For growth, Chris focuses on the importance of networking and building authentic relationships in his local market (Greenwich, CT). Word of mouth remains king, and collaborations with other health and wellness businesses (like co-branded menu items with nearby cafés) drive new client acquisition and community engagement.

Recorded live at CiderCon, this episode brings listeners into a rare, in-depth conversation about Chile's living cider tradition—one shaped by more than 450 years of apple fermentation, deep regional biodiversity, and community-based agriculture. Moderated by Eli Shanks, this panel features cider makers, cooperative leaders, and academics from southern Chile who explore how apples arrived, adapted, and endured across Araucanía, Los Ríos, and the Chiloé archipelago. Rather than a "new" cider movement, Chile offers something far rarer: a cider culture that never disappeared. At the heart of the discussion is Chicha—the traditional name for fermented apple beverages in Chile—and the cultural weight that language carries. Panelists unpack how Chicha and cider share the same roots, why heritage orchards matter, and what's at stake as aging farmers, development pressure, and climate change threaten seed-grown apple diversity. Listeners will also hear about: Heritage apple orchards over 100 years old, many grown from seed The role of women as primary stewards of orchards and biodiversity Native fermentation vessels made from Raulí and other Chilean woods Cooperative cider making on the island of Chiloé The challenges of valuing cider beyond "cheap, rural" perceptions The future of Chilean cider on the global stage, including education, competitions, and potential export This episode offers an essential perspective for anyone interested in cider as culture—not trend—and in how place, people, and history shape what ends up in the glass. Panelists & Contributors Eli Shanks – Co-founder, Punta de Fierro Fine Cider; Head Cider Maker, Western Cider Gicella – President, Cooperative Chilwe (Chiloé) René Galindo – Third-generation cider maker, Araucanía Carlos Flores – Co-founder, Punta de Fierro Fine Cider; Orchardist, Valdivia Fabián Lara – Cider & beer consultant; INDAP (Chilean Ministry of Agriculture) José Antonio Aldea – Professor and fermentation educator Key Themes Chilean cider and Chicha traditions Heritage apple orchards and seed-grown ecotypes Women's roles in orchard preservation Cooperative models and island agriculture Native materials and spontaneous fermentation Preserving cider culture in a changing landscape Timestamps ⏱️ Detailed timestamps are listed above to help you jump to specific topics, speakers, and cider discussions. 00:00 Introduction to Chicha and Cider 00:26 News Out and About Ciderville 00:43 Episode Overview: Chilean Cider Panel 03:30 Upcoming Events and Announcements 07:42 Introduction to the Chilean Panel 10:44 Chilean Cider Regions and History 16:11 Traditional Cider Making in Chile 18:11 Modern Chilean Cider and Future Prospects 20:16 Cider Tasting and Panel Discussion 29:32 Consumer Perception of Cider in Chile 30:07 Challenges and Efforts in Differentiation 30:34 Traditional and New World Ciders 31:13 Exciting Apple Varieties and Characteristics 32:19 Naming and Regional Varieties 35:40 Incorporating Local Fruits into Cider 38:09 Historical Context and Apple Lineages 41:47 Fire Blight and Disease Resistance 42:57 Modern vs. Traditional Cider Making 44:15 Collaborations with Winemakers 47:12 Preserving Heritage Apple Orchards 52:10 Forming a Cooperative in Chiloé 54:53 Market Development and Sales Strategies 57:03 Generational Gaps and Preservation Efforts 59:08 Future Goals and International Connections Support Cider Chat® If you value independent, long-form conversations that preserve cider history and amplify global voices, consider supporting Cider Chat® on Patreon.
