Design leader Nicola Ryan takes us inside the world of premium digital storytelling at Conde Nast, where she oversees the digital experiences for iconic brands like Vogue, The New Yorker, and Wired. From her early days questioning whether to study German and Spanish to finding her calling in the fast-paced world of newspaper design, Nicola shares how the media industry is grappling with the tension between snackable content and deep, meaningful storytelling.The conversation explores how newsrooms operate at breakneck speed, creating complete publications within 24 hours, and what other creative industries can learn from this approach to decision-making and collaboration. Nicola reveals the behind-the-scenes challenges of redesigning legacy publications while balancing editorial vision with commercial realities, and how her team is actively "cleaning up" digital experiences to help readers focus on what matters.Key TakeawaysThe attention economy paradox: While bite-sized content dominates, there's a growing hunger for deep, immersive storytelling that requires time and focusDecision-making velocity: Newsrooms teach us that making imperfect decisions quickly is better than paralysis through perfectionismQuality curation over quantity: Success isn't about producing more content—it's about helping audiences find the one thing worth their timeCross-functional collaboration: Bringing together editorial, commercial, and design teams early prevents costly misalignment later in the processDigital experience hygiene: Removing intrusive advertising and distractions is essential for building loyal, returning audiencesLegacy brand advantage: Established publications have built-in trust that new brands struggle to achieve in today's noisy landscapeThe power of constraints: Tight deadlines force crystallized thinking and prevent endless iteration that often makes work worse, not betterApps as focus sanctuaries: Mobile applications provide controlled environments where readers can engage deeply without external distractionsManufactured deadlines: Creating artificial time pressure helps maintain the creative momentum and decision-making clarity found in newsroomsMindful consumption: Just as we choose healthy food for our bodies, we must consciously curate what we consume with our minds and attention Mindful Creative: How to understand and deal with the highs and lows of creative life, career and business Paperback and Kindle > https://amzn.to/4biTwFcFree audiobook (with Audible trial) > https://geni.us/free-audiobookSigned books https://novemberuniverse.co.ukLux Coffee Co. https://luxcoffee.co.uk/ (Use: PODCAST for 15% off)November Universe https://novemberuniverse.co.uk (Use: PODCAST for 10% off)

Meredith Hayden is the author of the new bestselling The Wishbone Kitchen Cookbook and she has quite the story to tell, which we get into in this great conversation. While working at Conde Nast, Meredith attended night culinary school and lived a double life of sorts—publishing worker during the day, line cook at night. We get into how she walked the tightrope and eventually landed as a private chef before launching a memorable, and might I say incredibly popular, TikTok account. The rest is history and it was a delight hearing Meredith talk about her story on the show.And, at the top of the show, it's the return of Three Things, where Aliza and Matt talk about what is exciting them in the world of restaurants, cookbooks, and the food world as a whole. On this episode: An i'm donut ? report, the Hudson Valley's Stissing House is as good as it's ever been, Jakarta Munch is a must-visit Urban Hawker stall in Midtown. Also: We book-clubbed The Most by Jessica Anthony in a weekend, it's lychee season, The Condiment Book is super smart, and some Portland, Oregon restaurant recs. Do you enjoy This Is TASTE?

Creativity through the lens of a screen writer, Emmy nominated producer and podcaster"Creativity is just creating something that wasn't there."Adam “Tex” Davis graduated from NYU's Tisch School of the Arts in 1993. A scant three years later he'd achieved great success -- as the night manager of Shaun's Bagels in Manhattan. But soon after, "Tex" sold his first screenplay, Sunburned, to Miramax and his second screenplay Just Friends to New Line Cinema. Just Friends went on to become a cult, rom-com classic starring Ryan Reynolds and Anna Farris. Other produced credits soon followed including Spring Break Lawyer, a made-for-cable comedy for MTV; and Gardener of Eden, a dark indie-comedy produced by Leonardo Dicaprio's Appian Way and directed by Entourage's Kevin Connolly.For nearly 20 years, Adam has written, rewritten, or punched-up over 25 feature film scripts for every major studio in Hollywood... and Bachelor Party 2. In addition, Adam has sold original comedy television series to the WB Network, CBS, and Comedy Central.Adam served as Co-Executive Producer and Head Writer for the Emmy nominated, genre-defining, global hit series Brain Games, for the National Geographic Channel. The success of Brain Games led Adam to co-form Atomic Entertainment, a full-service film & TV production company, for which Adam oversees creative content. Along with long-time friend, fellow NYU graduate, and collaborator Jerry Kolber, Atomic created the darkly-comic docu-series, The Internet Ruined My Life (SyFy) and Brainchild, a high-concept, kids' science/variety show, co-produced by Pharrell Williams for Netflix. Adam has also produced/ directed branded projects for Google, GE, IBM, Drone Racing League, Top Golf, Headspace & Conde Nast.With dozens of original projects airing or in the works, including What's Your Problem? and Making Magic -- Atomic continues its quest for global dominance.In his spare time, Adam continues to write original screenplays and create series ideas.

2024 is reaching an end, and I'm honestly looking forward to getting on with 2025! This year was a bit of a bust: the sudden loss of my Mum tainted most of the year with various repercussions, and even this podcast suffered from some neglect! But with a shiny new year ahead, I'm happy to look back on what travel I did manage in 2024, as well as talk about what seem to be the most likely travel trends for 2025. I also asked listeners about their resolutions for 2025 and I'm glad to include a wonderful selection of ideas - most especially because all of my listeners are so thoughtful!

Podcast Guest:  Joelle MoroneyHost: Kerry CurranTitle: Mastering Influencer Marketing in Regulated Industries: Navigating Compliance, Aligning Brand Goals, and Driving SuccessKerry Curran, RBMA (00:01.067) And welcome Joelle, please introduce yourself and share a bit about your background and extensive experience.Joelle Moroney (00:08.724) Hi, Kerry. So great to be here today. Joelle Moroney, CEO of Creator Collective. We are an advisory boutique firm working with creators, empowering creators, curating technology, as well as a global brand strategy for social impact.Kerry Curran, RBMA (00:26.081) Excellent. So I know, Joelle, you've been in the, you've had a front row seat really in the, to the evolution of influencer and creator and ambassador strategies. So share a bit about what you've seen and how it's changed.Joelle Moroney (00:42.996) Absolutely. So thanks for that tee-up for sure. Starting in, what I would call the first-gen version of influencer marketing in the creator economy with Timing and Conde Nast whereby it was at the time more celebrities and editors that were endorsing and or promoting the best in the breed for services and products through editorial and thought leadership.I was lucky enough to be with InStyle, RealSimple, and Gourmet at the time. And then evolved into analytics, right? Because we all have to monetize the work that we do, which is of course a revenue boost platform. And in doing that, I went into what was cutting-edge technology with Data Zoo which was acquired by Roku, as you may know. And then also of course Yahoo. So.Now here we are fast forward into what I would call 2.0, 3.0 creator version with influencer marketing. I feel that this will continue to proliferate the marketplace as we're looking to have influencers and creators tell brand stories in a very authentic manner that lands with their audiences.Kerry Curran, RBMA (01:55.821) Yeah, so as you've seen the explosion in the 2.0, as you said, what has been the most exciting to you?Joelle Moroney (02:04.268) Well, when I look at this, I think it's more about the fact that we're all creators in our own right. And it's also about letting authentic voices ring clear in verticals that we all care about, whether it's finance, food, travel, technology, there are ways to lean in and learn more about the best places to go, the best places to eat, the best guidance and principles in terms of your investments. We know for a fact that people are now leaning on TikTok and Instagram for advice with their healthcare as they are with their finances. So this is a very powerful platform and the accrued economy is starting to drive not just Fortune 500 companies, but also smaller companies as well.Kerry Curran, RBMA (02:56.237) No, excellent. And you're right. We've seen just how prevalent and pervasive really the TikTok people are getting your rate, financial advice, and healthcare advice. When I was involved with some research last year and actually a number one source reported that, in the survey, the number one source for information related to financial services was actually influencers. So at first, it made me a little bit nervous.Because obviously, you don't want your Tick-8, you know, just a TikTok celebrity giving you investment advice, but then realizing, you know, it looked into it more and it's, there's so much even just general 101, let's get, you know, Dave Ramsey type of, let's get your finances in order type of, type of content out there that is useful, valuable and beneficial.And to your point, having that, the brand kind of drives that conversation or builds the framework for that conversation can be so powerful for brands, financial institutions that want to build those connections with those audiences that are consuming that information and trying to learn and change their financial road. |Talk about, so I love about kind of what your POV and your experience, what you've, you've shared with me is really how you help those kind of more highly regulated brands and institutions build those influencer strategies through that really authentic brand storytelling through brand ambassadors. So share a bit of how you build that framework and kind of start to make sure that you're helping brands connect and drive that audience engagement.Joelle Moroney (04:59.05) Absolutely. So just Kerry, there is a little lag. I don't know if it's on your side or my side with the wifi. You were freezing up a couple of times.Kerry Curran, RBMA (05:04.535) Yeah, it's okay, it'll be okay. It downloads to your computer and then.Joelle Moroney (05:07.606) Okay, cool.Yeah, so I'm glad you brought that up because I do specialize in highly regulated industries, financial services in particular, as well as healthcare. And I say that because there are very strict guidelines that the creators must adhere to, right? In terms of making sure that they are landing within the guardrails of the guidelines for the company. Also, FTC guidelines we have to be mindful of as part of that.And there are very experienced creators that we can curate to make sure that we know they are tried and true and also vetted properly within the selection. So I work with, again, empowering creators directly via talent agents and or creators directly that I have relationships with. Also curating different tech platforms that specialize in those particular areas to make sure that we are properly vetting these creators.It is important because what we're finding more than ever, the CFO and CEO are very concerned, especially in our economic and political environment, that the influencers are going to stay on brand reputation, which is critical, certainly with financial services and different guidelines. And when you're providing this sort of advice, whether it's medical and or financial, there have to be some disclosures.Kerry Curran, RBMA (06:25.177) Mm-hmm.Joelle Moroney (06:35.626) I found in my work with healthcare that there were often ISI guidelines that we would have to put through the feed, which may look like a sort of impediment to some of the actual creator flow, but it's part of the disclosure and it lands well. It's fine. The audience knows that that's an important constituent to that as well.Kerry Curran, RBMA (06:56.483) That's great. And so when you're working with brands, you want to make sure you're tying it back to everything based on their business objectives. know creator and influencer, it can be a shiny objective. We need to do this. I saw a TikTok is big, but talk about how you make sure it really kind of connects to that, that is what they're trying to achieve with their other marketing strategies.Joelle Moroney (07:17.804) Yes. Yes. So I did mention that first and foremost, we want to make sure that we are building out a strategy that is in direct alignment with the business objectives. And then also the key metrics for success. What do the brands care about? What are they being held accountable for? This is where ultimately the ROI comes in and certainly the revenue model. But what we will also do is build out a brand brief so that we are very clear on the targets, the personas, and who they're looking to reach.As well as the actual creator that will be representing the brand specifically. Then we look at the narrative that the client, in my case client, but a brand will want to make sure they're communicating to their audiences, keeping it tight and simple so that we are being very efficient with the creator's content and storytelling. The third element is looking at KPIs, right? Because we want to make sure that we're monetizing this and looking at the analytics.Often I recommend or we look at a hybrid KPI because we're looking to build out awareness, certainly with revenue boost in your platform, you're doing this regularly with different clients, but we're also making sure that we're monetizing this from a building a greater awareness, upper funnel, as well as lower funnel conversions. That said, that will also help predicate what type of creator and who we want to align with the brand because their following will help with the engagement.And for example, there are often brands that want to have awareness with a mega or a celebrity. Let's say Dunkin' Donuts, for example, with Charli D'Amelio. But then you're also going to want to have lower funnel conversion and have micro, and macro influencers who are regular customers at Dunkin' to share their story because we find call to action works well … Kerry Curran, RBMA (08:45.571) Yeah.Joelle Moroney (09:09.998) … when we have audiences that are super hyper-engaged with the micro and mega influencers.Kerry Curran, RBMA (09:17.261) No, that's great. And so you're working with the brand team at the, the, the marketing team and kind of brand lead at the con, the client side, and then building that brief, making sure you're aligned on the creators and the KPIs. And then, you know, talk about kind of how you help them navigate choosing the right creators or influencers to be part of the program?Joelle Moroney (09:43.466) Absolutely. So once we've identified all of the different sorts of framework elements, we then start to look at the influencer discovery process. And a lot of it can be a heavy lift on, certainly on my side, I have different constituents that I work with based on verticals specifically for experts. If we want a financial expert, for example, I tap into my Yahoo Finance category, talent recruitments.But also looking at those tech platforms, I mentioned that curate the different influencers, most recently with Lincia in terms of being an advisor for them. There are, let's say, over a million influencers on the tech platform. There are maybe 20 million in the ecosystem, and two million are actually making money. But what we're doing is using AI tech recognition for logos to look at text logos.Kerry Curran, RBMA (10:27.064) Mm-hmm.Joelle Moroney (10:38.47) … and also just throughout their social feed, the affiliates that they may already have with the current brand. But most importantly, we're also looking at category exclusivity. We're looking at availability. So often you'll pick a sample set of creators to then build that out so that we know that they're on point with the brand strategist and build out different lookalikes to make sure that we have enough influencers that are properly curated so that we know to prove out the success of a campaign.Kerry Curran, RBMA (11:11.083) Excellent. And I know you also talked about diversity being an important aspect of kind of building out that mix of ambassadors and creators.Joelle Moroney (11:21.582) 100%. So we definitely make sure that with every program that we recommend and build our strategy for we have at least 20 % of the creator portfolio filling into the diversity areas, depending on what the brand focuses and their target and persona. It's important to have a different share of voice, and different perspectives as we build out these programs.Kerry Curran, RBMA (11:39.683) Mm-hmm.Excellent. And so as you're building out, especially in the heavily regulated industries, and you mentioned how to make sure you have all of the ISI data, but how do you communicate with the creators to make sure they really understand the brand safety guidelines? I think that's what I would guess is one of the biggest hesitations for specially regulated brands to want to kind of test into the influencer space.Joelle Moroney (12:00.654) Hmm. That's a great point. I think we might've been talking earlier, there's this fine line between allowing the creator to have a free license to build out their creative and keep it very real and genuine and authentic with their audience, but then also staying adhering to the guidelines that are presented to them within the brand brief when we're working with the creator specifically. But it is important that they do stay within those guidelines when speaking to the different brand safety call-outs for a particular program. And they know that going in, but it's also a part of the curation and monitoring that will take shape with the tech platforms to make sure that they're adhering to these guidelines. And the content is reviewed and it is often reviewed by the brand specifically so that we're making sure that we're on point before we go live.Kerry Curran, RBMA (13:09.537) Excellent. So, you know, with creator content, you're reaching their followers and the algorithms are not always the most dependable from that perspective. So it seems it's become more prevalent to add paid media amplification to expand the reach. How are you going about building that into all of your strategies?Joelle Moroney (13:32.394) Absolutely, Kerry. So part of this is we know that we can build out different types of models in working with creators. The organic is fluid. We can estimate and do predictive modeling on impressions and engagement, but it's the paid media amplification boosting, and whitelisting from the influencers handle where we know that we can provide that guaranteed ROI, whatever the KPRs are specifically, whether it's impressions, clicks, or engagements.Kerry Curran, RBMA (13:44.738) Mm-hmm.Joelle Moroney (14:01.518) So that's where we leverage those best assets that we know the creative landed super well in terms of that content engagement with their audience. And then we can build out tests, iterate, and learn what is the best creative assets to leverage into the paid media amplification. And in most cases, we can find 3X lift by leveraging that influencer's handle to do that.Kerry Curran, RBMA (14:25.037) Yeah, so smart. it just extends the kind of value and usage of all of that unique content.Joelle Moroney (14:32.578) That's right. Another component to that is it's just such an efficient way to build out content for O &O channels, for CTV, for programmatic, for display, for recruitment, and for internal. I've done this with other financial services companies where they're doing this with their B2B channel. The influencer may or may not boost within their platform or externally, but they were also using those assets for webinars.Kerry Curran, RBMA (14:38.009) Mm-hmm. That's great. That's great. I mean, there's so much value and the whole benefit to the influencer and ambassador is to make it more relatable and kind of allow the creators to build that promotion, but also share value with their audiences. So it sounds, I know it's easy and amazing and kind of turnkey, but there are still a lot of challenges, especially, with brands that are kind of just getting newer to this. So what are some of the bigger challenges that you've seen and run into that you've had to kind of navigate and help clients with?Joelle Moroney (15:39.638) Yeah, I think that's a fair point. And I was sharing with you too, that just being at Adweek recently in New York, it was evident that most brands realize this is table safe. They should be leveraging the creator economy and influencers to help boost their overall marketing mix. It's proving the ROI. So that's one of the biggest challenges. And part of it is yes, on the creator and or agency tech platform … Kerry Curran, RBMA (16:00.44) Yeah.Joelle Moroney (16:08.48) … models, but it's also on the brand to have that tight API integration with third-party measurement, looking at media mix modeling and attribution to make sure that there's synchronization so that there aren't any inefficiencies in the way in which there's tracking. So that requires a media optimization team to thoughtfully look at the plan to build out that revenue and make sure that we're driving the conversions and or brand lift.Whatever the case may be, whatever tools they may be using specifically. often there will be recommendations, but then it's more about the implementation that is very much a partnership opportunity. And I think there's a lot of growth that needs to happen in that particular area.Kerry Curran, RBMA (16:53.453) Yeah, definitely. Meaning, tying back the investment to actual business results, I know is always a challenge for any media strategy. And especially these days, I think brands are more and more leaning into kind of those lower funnel direct response initiatives because you can measure the click and the web form complete or the purchase. But to your point, it's like this, the kind of...Awareness and engagement strategy-building aspects are so important and I think more brands should be looking at brand lift studies as part of their measurements.Joelle Moroney (17:29.346) That's right. And we know that I think eMarketer just gave a data statistic that there will be 20 billion dollars invested in the creator economy over this next year. That is extraordinary. And that, in my opinion, creators are becoming many media companies in their own right. So back to our original part of the conversation, whether it was Time Inc. in Stoudal, Symbiocor, or May as media companies.Kerry Curran, RBMA (17:39.928)Yeah.Joelle Moroney (17:54.794) Now these creators are individual media companies. So it will be who these brands and or agencies to not lean in, but to learn how best to work with them and to to have a middle zone. Right. Again, we want to make sure that this is landing real and genuinely aligning with the brands, but also within the context of it making the most sense with their brand safety guidelines and what they're building their trust and loyalty with their …Kerry Curran, RBMA (18:07.043) Mm-hmm. Joelle Moroney (18:24.014) … consumers in an authentic way.Kerry Curran, RBMA (18:26.753) No, you're so right. You know, when I speak with a lot of kinds of leaders and the influencer and creator space and over and over, I keep hearing that brands, that's the biggest challenge. Let the creators create the brands they want to control. They're used to, you know, being part of the production and having the actors follow a script. So it's really hard to take that step back and think about, you know, the creators know their audiences, they know what resonates, they know how to get that engagement and the shares. so it's trusting the creator to be the expert on your point. And a lot of them now have their camera crew and their own producers. So it is just a more nimble approach to the more traditional scripted production. And sure, there probably is are still scripted points, but at the end of the day, as you said, as long as it follows the brand guidelines, and especially you can include any legal requirements, whether it's financial or healthcare related, let the creators create, because that's what's going to be most successful for your strategy and execution.Joelle Moroney (19:49.418) Exactly. And then just really completely holistically leveling up the fact that there's a real opportunity to make a social impact in doing this. And I've seen this firsthand with a creator, I work with Sheena Malwani, you know, where she will go on for the American Heart Association to work with the TikTok platform and do a fundraiser live just spontaneously. And when she can do that, …Kerry Curran, RBMA (19:57.527)Yeah, for sure.Joelle Moroney (20:16.064)… and engage your audience to garner revenue for the greater good, and then have a TikTok that will then match those donations. The numbers are exceptional and the revenue can be significant. And I think that's where the kind of spreading the joy aspect of the work that we do can have a lot of social impact on a global level with brands that want to lean into those different categories. So.Kerry Curran, RBMA (20:29.145) Mm-hmm.Joelle Moroney (20:43.416) When I'm working with brands specifically, I think it is important to have a sustainability message and or social impact like a city does with No Kid Hungry. There are just so many different opportunities to find real authentic, genuine connections that are driving revenue. Yes, from a profitability perspective, but certainly also to generate social impact.Kerry Curran, RBMA (21:06.679) Yeah, no, I love that. That's excellent. And so, Joelle, I know, thank you for sharing so much of your expertise with us. One last question is, what is your recommendation for a brand that's ready to get started, especially one in a regulated industry?Joelle Moroney (21:25.686) Yes, I think first and foremost, it's finding a trusted advisor to do that. found great success in having a lot of experience in different verticals, platforms, content, areas to monetize specifically for that brand, finding the vertical of focus in a brand and or tech platform that will help deliver on the KPIs that are most important.But then really aligning with the activation and execution team to do that, to see it through. It's also important that there's an always-on methodology, not just a one-and-done because that can lead to more inefficiencies in doing that.Kerry Curran, RBMA (22:04.801) Excellent, and let the creators create.Joelle Moroney (22:07.498) Let the creators create and have their authentic voice shine through because consumers are super smart.Kerry Curran, RBMA (22:11.747) Yeah.Kerry Curran, RBMA (22:15.171) Definitely. Well, thank you so much, Joelle. I really enjoyed having you on today and thank you.Joelle Moroney (22:22.061) Thanks, Kerry, appreciate it.

Last week, we featured an interview with John Markoff, the legendary New York Times Silicon Valley correspondent. If Markoff has an East Coast equivalent, it's Steven Levy, the former Newsweek technology correspondent and author of best-selling books about hacking, crypto, Google and Facebook. Levy is now Wired's editor-at-large and when I visited Levy at New York City's glittering Conde Nast offices, we talked about what has and hasn't surprised him about the last twenty years of tech history and why he may be the last journalist with the good fortune of being paid to write long articles about Microsoft.Steven Levy is Wired's editor at large. The Washington Post has called him “America's premier technology journalist.”For almost four decades Levy has chronicled the digital revolution, its impact on humanity, and the people behind it. He has written the foundational work on computer culture (Hackers, 1984) and with Crypto (2001) the indispensable book on story behind that groundbreaking technology—years before people began gushing about Bitcoin and the blockchain. He has written the definitive books on Facebook, Google, the Macintosh, and the iPod. World-class engineers tell him that they pursued AI after reading his 1992 book Artificial Life. And he currently covers the breadth of tech stories—the good and the disturbing—for WIRED, where he has been a contributor since its inception. Levy's previous positions include founder of Backchannel and chief technology writer and senior editor for Newsweek. His work has also appeared in Rolling Stone, Harper's Magazine, Macworld, The New York Times Magazine, Esquire, The New Yorker, and Premiere. Among his honors: PC Magazine named Hackers the best sci-tech book written in the last twenty years. Crypto won the grand e-book prize at the 2001 Frankfurt Book Fair. In the Plex was Amazon's best business book of 2011. In 2008 he was inducted as a SVForum Visionary, alongside Reed Hastings and Diane Greene. (Previous winners include Bill Gates, Steve Wozniak, and Vin Cerf.) He has won several Computer Press Association Awards, been finalist for the National Magazine Award and the Loeb Award, winner of a Clarion Award and many others.  His 1988 book, The Unicorn's Secret, was the source material for a two-night NBC miniseries, “The Hunt for the Unicorn Killer.” Levy hails from Philadelphia, where he began his career writing for weekly papers and writing stories for Philadelphia Magazine and the Philadelphia Inquirer Sunday Magazine. He wrote extensively on rock music and sports. In 1982, he published a Rolling Stone story on computer hackers that drew him into the world of technology.  He lives in New York City with his wife, Pulitzer Prize winner and bestselling author Teresa Carpenter.Named as one of the "100 most connected men" by GQ magazine, Andrew Keen is amongst the world's best known broadcasters and commentators. In addition to presenting KEEN ON, he is the host of the long-running How To Fix Democracy show. He is also the author of four prescient books about digital technology: CULT OF THE AMATEUR, DIGITAL VERTIGO, THE INTERNET IS NOT THE ANSWER and HOW TO FIX THE FUTURE.

The Fashion Fête, a three-day event at the Ritz Carlton in New York, began on 4th November, 1914, offering New Yorkers their first glimpse of what we would now understand as a fashion show. With Parisian ateliers shut down due to the First World War, the U.S. editor of Vogue, Edna Woolman Chase, had proposed the event as a way to showcase the work of American designers: a novel concept in an industry that traditionally looked to France for inspiration. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain how Conde Nast (the man) was originally unsure about the precedent Conde Nast (the brand) would be establishing; reveal how Woolman Chase encouraged high society ladies to participate; and reveal how the War also led to other fashion breakthroughs including New York Fashion Week and the Met Gala…  Further Reading: • ‘The fascinating history of the catwalk show' (Harpers Bazaar, 2022): https://www.harpersbazaar.com/uk/fashion/a35783366/history-catwalk-show/ • ‘As Seen in Vogue: A Century of American Fashion in Advertising, By Daniel Delis Hill' (Texas Tech University Press, 2004):  https://www.google.co.uk/books/edition/As_Seen_in_Vogue/MvilOZhaRkAC?hl=en&gbpv=1&dq=fashion+fete+1914&pg=PA29&printsec=frontcover • ‘Paris Fashion in 1917 - AI Enhanced Film during WW1' (Glamour Daze, 2020): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0Pjw12GSNBM Love the show?

We talk with travel expert Gary Leff from View from the Wing.com. In the news, the DOT probe of airline frequent flyer programs, U.S. airlines reduced hiring, automated landing fee collection, more on PFAS in aircraft firefighting foam, and FAA action to ease network flight delays. Also, interviews from the Pacific Airshow. Guest Travel expert and blogger Gary Leff was named one of the world's top travel specialists by Conde Nast. He often appears in the media on television, radio, and in print. He's been a keynote speaker at many conferences and both a moderator and panelist at Flightglobal industry conferences, in addition to CardCon and Fincon. His credit card advice has been featured in the New York Times and the Wall Street Journal. Gary blogs at View From the Wing.com and is co-founder of InsideFlyer.com. We talked with Gary about the U.S. Department of Transportation's inquiry into airline rewards programs, including their authority to do so and the likely time before DOT action takes place. Gary comments on the devaluation of miles and gives us his thoughts on airline staffing levels. We consider issues surrounding carry-on baggage and overhead bin space and the topic of code sharing. Visit View From the Wing.com for the writings of a true travel expert. Aviation News Breaking: New Government Investigation Demands Airlines Expose Frequent Flyer Devaluations The U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT) launched an inquiry into airline rewards programs to protect customers from potential unfair, deceptive, or anticompetitive practices. DOT sent letters to American Airlines, Delta Air Lines, Southwest Airlines, and United Airlines ordering them to provide records and submit reports with detailed information about their rewards programs, practices, and policies. The probe is focused on the ways consumers participating in airline rewards programs are impacted by the devaluation of earned rewards, hidden or dynamic pricing, extra fees, and reduced competition and choice. See: US probes top airlines' frequent flyer programs for unfair practices and USDOT Seeks to Protect Consumers' Airline Rewards in Probe of Four Largest U.S. Airlines' Rewards Practices U.S. airlines cool hiring after adding 194,000 employees in post-Covid spree During the pandemic, airline employment decreased significantly as customer demand dropped. With the travel recovery, US passenger airlines added almost 194,000 jobs as they tried to catch up. Now hiring is cooling off: demand is moderating, fares are down which puts pressure on profits, labor costs are up with the new contracts, aircraft deliveries are running late, and engine availability is not where it needs to be AOPA Objects to Possible Florida Airport Landing Fees The state of Florida contracted with Virtower to collect aircraft movement data using ADS-B. Virtower partner Vector Airport Systems can use the Virtower data with its PlanePass system to provide automated invoicing. Vector proposes to collect a fee of $3 per 1,000 pounds of aircraft weight. AOPA says ADS-B was never intended to be used as a tool to collect landing fees. They question the need to collect fees at the public-use airports that already receive federal funds. Virtower “monitors key airport operational parameters including takeoffs, landings, touch and go's, pavement utilization, and based aircraft operations. While providing a quick and easy noise complaint investigations tool for all customers.” Brunswick passes unprecedented PFAS resolution calling for action after spill In Episode 812, we talked about aviation firefighting foam, specifically Aqueous Film-Forming Foam (AFFF) that contains dangerous PFAS (“forever chemicals”). There are efforts to transition to fluorine-free foam (F3) for aircraft firefighting. The Brunswick Town Council passed a resolution calling for a statewide inventory of AFFF that was spilled on Aug. 19, 2024.

Editor-in-chief, stylist, and creative consultant Katie Grand is renowned for her relentless creativity and influential contributions to the fashion and print industries. Born in the UK, Grand's visionary approach propelled her to the forefront of fashion journalism, where she served as the editor-in-chief of renowned publications, such as POP, Conde Nast's biannual Love magazine,and most recently Perfect. Her collaborations and innate ability to spot emerging talent landed her roles as a creative consultant for major fashion houses and solidified her status as a tastemaker. Long at the forefront of what's contemporary and experimental, today, she continues to shape the landscape of contemporary fashion with a perspective that often upends the industry's cyclical norms. Episode Highlights: Grand is a marathon runner; she sees fitness and endurance as ways to expand her interests outside of fashion. She came into “nerdy” or “outsider” friendships in Birmingham, growing up ice skating and attending cultural events together; through this scene, she found out about publications like The Face and i-D. Her father brought her to London as a child to shop.  What's kept her on the pulse of the fashion world—from social media revenue to the evolution of print magazines—has been following her instincts and respecting when she finds herself feeling bored with something. Grand talks about balancing the support of working under a big corporation with a need to collaborate with people who share her lack of rigidity and need for freedom. She discusses the difference between magazines like Dazed, The Face, and i-D, biannuals, and monthlies, and working on different production timelines.  Grand cites putting Beth Ditto on the cover of Love as something akin to putting Kendall Jenner on a Marc Jacobs runway, in that both changed the industry dramatically and immediately.  Highly invested in social media engagement and quantitative measures of viewership, Grand notes that the evolution of print has been toward more and more careful renderings of the medium, down to the investment in paper quality. Speaking about future generations in fashion, Grand remarks that she's optimistic about their opportunities given social media's reach but cautious and concerned about the use of AI cutting artists out of their work. When asked what's contemporary now, Grand says, “AI.” Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Jeremy Konyndyk, president of the humanitarian group Refugees International, explains how an Israeli invasion of Rafah could further destabilize Gaza.And in headlines: The New York judge overseeing Donald Trump's criminal hush-money trial fined the former president another $1,000 for violating a gag order, Indiana holds its primary election today, and Conde Nast reached a tentative labor agreement with its unionized workers.Show Notes:What A Day – YouTube – https://www.youtube.com/@whatadaypodcastFollow us on Instagram – https://www.instagram.com/crookedmedia/For a transcript of this episode, please visit crooked.com/whataday
