Exploring the lives of three Jewish doctors. Living in very different settings, yet linked by a common thread: compassion. They left a lasting mark on medicine and Jewish history and were dedicated to the strong belief that every fragile life matters. In New York, Dr Martin Couney helped save thousands of babies. His sideshow displays were controversial, but at a time when incubator technology was widely doubted, his exhibits brought life-saving technology into the public eye. Dr Mary Gordon was born in Lithuania and her trailblazing career as a pioneering female physician who was deeply connected to Jewish life, allowed her to carry her medical calling into some of the hardest moments of the twentieth century, in Palestine, in detention camps in Cyprus and through world wars. Dr Shlomo Adler's reputation in London as a beloved doctor and trusted medical confidant to Gedolim and Torah leaders as well as to thousands of patients, rested on his complete commitment to care, innovation and halacha. We also hear from his son Dr Yossi Adler - who has continued a 3 generational family legacy - about AI and other issues confronting medicine today   Timestamps: - **0:00:00 – 0:01:13** – Podcast intro, series context (Medicine Part 2), and mention of guests (Rabbi Tatz & Dr. Yossi Adler) - **0:01:13 – 0:02:16** – Introduction of Mary Gordon;

Hello Interactors,We like to think we choose our own paths, but our cities have already decided for us. New York and Los Angeles function as the extended phenotype of our species — a living circulatory system that subtly channels our collective behavior. This week, we explore the multi-generational biology of transit to see how modern infrastructure effectively dissolves what we perceive as individual autonomy. MANHATTAN MOBILITY AND THE MASSED MILIEUI recently flew from New York visiting my daughter, where large vessels moved massive numbers of people around, to Los Angeles visiting my son, where small vessels moved small numbers of people around. The transition was jarring. I went from being physically enmeshed in a dense social milieu to being systematically protected from it — from walking over 10,000 steps a day to barely 1,000. My daily cadence shifted from bobbing and weaving around persons I could see, hear, and smell, to maneuvering around what sociologist Mike Michael termed ‘carsons' — persons fused with a car.This deep-seated desire for individual control over our own mobility is not unique to the modern driver. The instinct to leverage an external entity to conquer long distances is as old as the domestication of the horse in the third millennium BCE. Every stage of human life presents a shifting horizon of mobile autonomy: from crawling to walking, to the childhood triumph of mastering a bicycle or a local bus network, to the initial rush of freedom that comes with a first car. All before the natural declines of aging ultimately diminish our autonomy once more.Yet, suggesting mass transit to many Americans accustomed to the perceived agency of the car feels like a threat to their very freedom. Because transit routes are fixed and schedules are unyielding, collective travel is often mischaracterized as an artificial restriction on liberty. History shows that long before the locomotive, scheduled, multi-passenger transit enabled human freedom and societal cohesion where individual movement was risky or impossible. Across Eastern Polynesia, the Caribbean, and northern Eurasia, multi-passenger canoes were the lifeblood of trade and travel. In southern California, the Chumash and Tongva communities developed advanced sewn-plank canoes called tomols and ti'ats, which facilitated complex political economies between the Channel Islands and the mainland. This reliance on collective vehicles extended beyond coastal waterways. Human networks also depended on highly organized, shared transport to conquer distance across vast terrestrial and inland landscapes.Centuries before Western cities built public transit, imperial China constructed the Grand Canal, a two-thousand-kilometer artificial waterway that operated as a continental transit artery during the Sui Dynasty. This facilitated the regular movement of millions of passengers and state resources between agricultural basins and northern metropolises. On land, Tokugawa-era Japan structured its empire around the Tōkaidō, a highly regulated highway system where travelers moved rhythmically between post stations using a coordinated network of horse relays and official permits.Eastern aquatic and terrestrial networks achieved continental scale, replicated on Europe's rugged overland trails. Public multi-passenger carriage service began in Paris in 1662 with the world's first urban transit system. In colonial America, occasional stagecoaches linked Boston and New York starting around 1735, with regular schedules emerging in the 1740s. By the late 1820s, fixed-route horse-buses (omnibuses) appeared in Paris (1828) and New York City (1827). When urban populations exploded in mid 1800s, these street-level collective networks buckled under their own weight. It triggered unprecedented structural crises. By the late 19th century, New York City was drowning in a public health emergency born of its own transit power. Imagine over 150,000 working horses blanketing the streets. Now imagine thousands of tons of manure and urine daily. When a horse influenza epidemic paralyzed the city overnight in 1872, New Yorkers realized they could no longer rely on street-level animal power. The city initially looked upward and built coal-fired elevated railroads — the “Els” — on massive iron trestles. While these steam engines bypassed street traffic and allowed Manhattan to expand northward, they rained hot ash onto pedestrians, blocked natural light, and shattered the urban peace with deafening noise.True structural relief required going underground. Early pneumatic experiments, like Alfred Ely Beach's secret, air-driven tunnel in 1870, remained short-lived novelties due to political opposition and mechanical limitations (only 300 feet long, single-car shuttle). The project closed in 1873. The breakthrough for electric rail came in 1890 with the City & South London Railway in London, the first railway to use third rail electrification. The third rail — an additional, continuous steel rail running alongside the tracks that carries electricity to train cars — became the standard for underground and metro systems from around 1900. October 27, 1904, the Interborough Rapid Transit Company opened its first official subway line from City Hall to Harlem. This permanently compressed densely housed humanity into a swift, subterranean network, channeling the city's chaos beneath the cobblestones.COASTAL CARRIAGES AND THE CYCLEWAYWhile New York dug into the earth to consolidate its density, a parallel but radically different evolution was unfolding across the wide horizon of the Los Angeles basin. Between the 1820s and 1904, Los Angeles transformed from an isolated Mexican pueblo (population ~650) into a sprawling metropolis (population 100,000+). Here surface transit was not just responding to growth, but was actively engineering it. After bridging the distance to its seaport via the San Pedro Railroad in 1869 and connecting to the transcontinental rail network via Southern Pacific in 1876, the city experienced the Southern California real estate boom of the 1880s (1884-1887), which required vast spatial integration. The 1885 completion of the Santa Fe Railroad's direct line to Chicago triggered a development boom that dwarfed the earlier one, transforming the region.Rather than stacking millions of people into a vertical core, transit magnates like Moses Sherman and Henry Huntington realized that electric surface rail could be weaponized as a tool for land speculation. They built lines out into empty fields, bought up the surrounding acreage, and subdivided it into suburban tracts for commuting workers. A similar strategy played out in Chicago. Founded in 1901, Huntington's Pacific Electric 'Red Cars' rapidly expanded, opening its first interurban line to Long Beach on July 4, 1902.At its peak in the 1920s, the Pacific Electric system became the largest electric railway system in the world, with over 1,000 miles of track connecting dozens of isolated towns across Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside, and San Bernardino Counties, stitching together hundreds of square miles. By scattering its population across a massive geographic basin, this surface network wrote the genetic code for LA's modern identity. This decentralized layout was perfectly primed to swap the shared space of the streetcar for the individualized isolation of the highway just a generation later.Yet, beneath both the subway tunnels of Manhattan and the streetcar tracks of Los Angeles lies a forgotten foundation engineered by an entirely different mode of transit. As Carlton Reid uncovers in Roads Were Not Built for Cars, our modern road networks were not designed for the automobile but were hard-won by late-nineteenth-century cyclists. For the moneyed elite who could afford the “safety bicycle” — the high-tech, liberating consumer gadget of the 1880s and 1890s — the machine offered an unprecedented leap in individual autonomy. Disgusted by muddy, horse-fouled, and rutted roads, these cyclists organized under the League of American Wheelmen, launching a powerful “Good Roads” movement that pioneered the smooth, paved macadam surfaces that motorists would later inherit and monopolize.While New York carved out its first dedicated bike path in 1894, when civic pressure led to the opening of the nation's first separated bike path along Brooklyn's Ocean Parkway, wealthy urbanites could now cycle down to Coney Island detached from chaotic street traffic. The parkway became NYC's first dedicated bicycle path and the first in the United States, described as the oldest bike path in the world by Guinness World Records.Simultaneously, the early elite of Pasadena and LA used the bicycle to weave together their sprawling territory. This culminated in 1900 with the opening of the California Cycleway — a spectacular, approximately 1.3-mile elevated timber bicycle toll-way running through the Arroyo Seco. Lit by incandescent bulbs and built from over 1.25 million board feet of pine, this highway offered a vision of uninterrupted, rapid commuter flow through open terrain. Though the full nine-mile route was never completed by the rapid rise of electric streetcars, its right-of-way established a profound precedent. Decades later, that exact path found a permanent place as the Arroyo Seco Parkway, LA's first freeway, formally opening on December 30, 1940.SUBTERRANEAN SABOTAGE AND THE SOCIALIZATION SYSTEMThe triumph of the automobile in Los Angeles was not an inevitability, nor was the city entirely devoid of subterranean ambition. In December 1925, Pacific Electric opened the Hollywood Subway. Boring a mile-long concrete tunnel beneath the Victorian mansions of Bunker Hill, they were able to bypass downtown LA's already paralyzing surface congestion. Emerging from the Beaux-Arts style Subway Terminal Building on Hill Street, this route allowed Red Cars to escape street traffic entirely, cutting fifteen minutes off the commute to Hollywood and Glendale. This subway featured 800 cars and carried over 20 million passengers annually during World War II.Grander visions for an expansive, multi-line underground network were ultimately thwarted by the financial instability inherent in private streetcar systems. There land speculating owners treated the tracks as loss leaders for real estate rather than long-term transportation infrastructure. When cars continued to flood the streets and choked the shared surface rights-of-way, the streetcars became agonizingly slow. Seduced by the promise of vehicular autonomy, voters repeatedly rejected ballot measures to publicly rescue the now dilapidated rail networks. By 1955, the Hollywood Subway was permanently shuttered, its tracks torn up, and the era of the freeway commenced.Yet, the ghost of this old network continues to dictate the spatial reality of Southern California. When LA began aggressively rebuilding its rail transit system in the 1990s, planners did not draw a new map from scratch. They followed the exact blueprint laid down by their turn-of-the-century predecessors. Today's Metro light rail lines heavily reuse those original, preserved rights-of-way. The Metro A Line runs directly along the old Red Car route to Long Beach, while the E Line utilizes an 1875 steam rail corridor to connect downtown to Santa Monica. Because LA's original commercial districts sprouted around these historic streetcar nodes, the region's current high-density transit-oriented developments naturally cluster along these legacy paths. LA is resurrecting a collective socio-technical network within the very corridors carved out a century ago.This haunting of contemporary geography by obsolete infrastructure is not unique to the West Coast. Manhattan mirrors this architectural resurrection in the form of the High Line, where a decades-abandoned elevated freight rail line was dramatically salvaged and transformed into a lush, floating pedestrian thoroughfare. Much like the ghost corridors of LA, this steel-and-concrete relic from a bygone industrial era was not demolished, but re-engineered to dictate a new rhythm of urban mobility. This shows that even when the original motors fall silent, the skeletal memory of our transit history retains the power to reshape how we move, meet, and experience the city.SOMATIC SWARMS AND THE SPATIAL SCALETo understand the jarring shift between the enmeshed collective of New York and the isolated individual of LA, we must look beyond human culture and into the very architecture of living systems. We are accustomed to thinking of ourselves as singular, autonomous decision-makers possessing a unified will. In reality, a human being is a cooperative collective — a high-level agency born out of the coordinated actions of trillions of individual cells, each working together without a central dictator to maintain a shared physiological boundary. When we move through a city, this nested intelligence does not end at our skin. The cities themselves are higher-order organisms. Their grid lines, subway tunnels, and freeway arterials function as an emergent collective anatomy engineered by the uncoordinated actions of millions of individuals over centuries. Just as a developing embryo relies on a distributed intelligence among cells to build and repair a complex body without a master architect, a city shapes its layout through emergent collective agency. No single planner willed the current configuration of New York or Los Angeles. Instead, these vast geographies are the bi-product of millions of cellularly nested actors. They coordinated as if through a process biologists call stigmergy — where actions leave physical traces in the environment that automatically stimulate and guide the next action.These externalized anatomy deposits act like large-scale forces that encourage individual parts to develop specific habits that guide our daily lives. It's like space holds a memory that tells us how to behave. And if you think you're being entirely rational in determining the most efficient path across that distance, human mobility science proves otherwise. Recent empirical findings demonstrate that pedestrians and vehicle drivers consistently fail to follow mathematically optimal routes. Instead of calculating the shortest distance, our choices are heavily distorted by the subjective features of our surroundings. We are unconsciously biased by prominent landmarks, influenced by how regions are hierarchically organized in our minds, as we're pulled toward our goal. Our cognitive routing is actively hijacked and reshaped by the physical structure of the street network itself, alongside environmental variables like the presence of greenery, traffic volume, and noise.It seems we don't possess the total, isolated agency we imagine. When we step onto a street, into a subway car, or into a vehicle, we enter spaces where private autonomy and collective systems intricately intertwine. The freedom we feel when moving is a distributed property, bound up in whether our individual cellular collectives can harmoniously interface with the larger socio-technical system of the city. Road networks may promise ultimate individual autonomy, yet their uncoordinated use inevitably collapses into the shared immobility of gridlock — a collective consequence born of uncoordinated individual choices.The “carsons” of Los Angeles, encased in their hermetically sealed exoskeletons, represent a shift in the morphology of higher-order urban organism. Drivers choose to wall themselves off in private vehicles…or vacuoles — tiny fluid-filled compartments inside a cell. “Carsons” glide along asphalt pathways originally demanded and paved by nineteenth-century wheelmen whose bi-cycles gave way to quad-cycles from which automobiles emerged. Whether drifting through the subterranean capillaries of the Interborough Rapid Transit or the resurrected neural pathways of the Pacific Electric, we are constantly transitioning across nested scales of kind of collective intelligence.Across generations, our preferences are encoded early by our environments, yet human practice remains remarkably adaptable. We are all capable of shifting habits when embedded in new spatial layouts. Ultimately, we are not isolated travelers making independent choices in a static world. We are interlocking parts of a grand, multi-generational biology. The vast superstructures we craft — from the subterranean capillaries of the subway to the asphalt arteries of the freeway — are not separate from nature, but act as an extended phenotype of our species. Over generations, in New York and LA, a co-engineered metabolic network surrounds us and shapes us. We are biological superstructures within living human-made superstructures generated through encoded scripts. Divided by a vast continent and a century of divergent design, New York and Los Angeles appear to share almost nothing in common — one a dense, vertical labyrinth of concrete and shadow, the other a sun-bleached, horizontal expanse of asphalt and sky. Yet, look past the geometry of the infrastructure, and the human ecology within them is identical. One day I was navigating the deep subterranean shafts of Manhattan the next I was tracking the sweeping curves of a California freeway. In both cases I was embedded inside different machinery but driven by the exact same instincts and societal pulses that drive urban mobility. Across differing geographies and distant time zones, the human element remains constant. Together we, and our cities, evolve to sustain and channel the collective currents of humanity crossing space and time, like individual cells using subtle electrical signals to coordinate movements that ultimately flow together into complex, living shapes we call humans.

Kanske upplever du någon form av lättnad, en lite ljusare tid. Vår tillvaro är en pendel mellan dessa poler som inte kan existera utan varandra. En oväntad händelse utlöser en kris, hela planeten ligger i spasmer. Hur ska vi höra ihop, om allt är kaos? Vi drar i nödbromsen, resten beror på oss.Lärdomarna i denna berättelse är inte nya, de är alla erfarenheter som många gjorde detta år: Vi behöver våra minnen, vi behöver poesin – och vi behöver träden. Men varje människa har sina egna hågkomster, dikter och parker. Detta är mina.När president Macron släckte ner Paris på kvällen torsdagen den 12 mars 2020 kände jag mig som den amerikanske poeten Allen Ginsberg. Denne var överallt när han levde, över hela jordklotet, och han tyckte om att undervisa. Och så älskade han livet. Jag identifierade mig med honom som lärare och författare. Därför var jag på Sorbonne, mot alla odds.Trots varningar från omvärlden hade jag tagit mig till Paris och mådde som alltid bättre än de flesta, den vita yang-pricken i den svarta yin-halvan, det är Pariseffekten. I Luxembourgträdgården, min viktigaste plats på jorden, höll jag och mina elever på med ett skrivprojekt som var en reaktion på situationen, smittan: hur man berättar en historia när allting är hotat, när allt står på spel, när man inte kan tro på nånting längre. Undantagstilltåndet! Plötsligt var grindarna till parken låsta. Alla kaféer och mötesplatser – ja, hela staden! – nedstängd. Ett enda tal från Macron till franska nationen; alla hade förstått, det är sista chansen.Ginsberg hade sprungit omkring i Luxembourgträdgården 1957-58 när han bodde på The Beat Hotel. Sommaren 1980 besökte jag honom några dagar i Boulder, Colorado, där han undervisade om de engelska romantikerna för unga studenter som ville lära sig skriva. Han lärde mig något som han kallade ”negativ kapacitet”. Hur man kommer vidare med det osäkra, mysteriet. I mars 2020, stod vi plötsligt inför ett osynligt virus, en kallhamrad egoist. Covid-19, partikeln utan spegelbild, en trojansk häst på bröstet till varje människa.Några dagar senare kom jag iväg från Paris med ett av de sista planen som lämnade staden just då, mot Berlin. Paris var stängt, Luxembourgträdgården stängd. Jag sökte mig till Berlins stora park, Tiergarten och började gå runt en timme före mörkrets inbrott. Nästa dag gjorde jag samma sak och nästa samma igen. Det skulle pågå hela året och fortsätta nästa.Tiergarten skapades som jaktmark 1527 och när jag går där så tänker jag på allt de här träden har sett sedan 1945. Äldre än så är de inte. Vid andra världskrigets slut fälldes nämligen nästan alla träd och förvandlades till ved; av 200 000 praktfulla träd på 210 hektar återstod 700 ensamma, brandskadade små dvärgträd lite här och där.Tanken på att träden i Tiergarten planterades och växte ur ruinstaden Berlin hjälper mig. Om jag inte går dit varje dag känner jag mig sjuk.Jag har upptäckt att jag inte är ensam. Bland de många träd som talar till mig finns också människor som lyssnar till samma budskap, bara en bit bort, vid nästa träd. Efter några veckors kringströvande urskiljer jag återkommande par och enstöringar som jag, på samma platser, unga människor som tränar, gör gymnastiska övningar, vid ett speciellt träd, varenda dag. Barn som följer sina föräldrar genom parken på väg hem. Alltid samma väg.När jag går på gångarna hör jag hela tiden fragment av samtal mellan vänner och kärlekspar, om ditt och datt. Dessa samtal återskapar betydelsen av vänskap, promenader, förtroende och förhoppningar. Det låga ljudet av två vänner som samtalar förtroligt om någon detalj i livet på en av parkens gångar talar samma språk som Allen Ginsbergs poesi.I Colorado 1980 deklamerade Ginsberg Shelleys ”Hymn to Intellectual Beauty” för att lära oss att älska konsten och livet. Vi pratade om allt under sena eftermiddagar i hans trähus i Boulder.När han talade lät det som dikten Sång i ”Howl och andra dikter”, här i översättning av Per Planhammar:Världens tyngd är kärlek.Under ensamhetens börda,under missnöjets börda så är tyngden,tyngden vi bär kärlek.Beatpoeten Allen Ginsbergs poesi var uppmärksamhet på livet, utvecklad ur inre osäkerhet, ”nederlagets vrål” som William Carlos Williams skrev i förordet till ”Howl”.I den mediokra aggressionens tid, när existensen har satts inom parentes och allt präglas av sönderfall, ensamhet och skyddsanordningar, då går jag bland de kraftfulla trädstammarna i Tiergarten och tänker på vad Allen Ginsberg sa på verandan till trähuset i Boulder 1980:”Det som gör en till författare är förmågan till inlevelse i chocktillstånden. Som Virginia Wolf skrev: konsten är ett dolt mönster, vi är alla delar av ett konstverk. Hamlet och Beethovens stråkkvartetter är sanningar om det vi kallar världen. Det finns ingen Shakespeare, ingen Beethoven, och ingen Gud; vi är orden; vi är musiken; vi är tinget i sig.”Sen satt vi tysta och rökte, och så sa Allen:”Det bästa i oss uppstår ur vår sårbarhet.””Ingen vila utan kärlek – ”Jag tänker i Tiergarten:Katastrofen är att historien förlorar sin mening om var och en bara arbetar på sin historia,söker kontakt utan förpliktelser –Beatpoeterna ville se allt i den amerikanska natten, ingen människa var för liten –Deras anslag var gemenskap, visioner, Baudelaires korrespondenser:Deras store fotograf och filmare Robert Frank sa att han kunde se Big Ben i London från Coney Island.När han var ung kunde han se timvisarna också.Ferlinghetti vill som poet rädda alla bortsprungna katter, han säger att poesin är det sista fyrtornet på ett stormigt hav.Krisen är uppfostraren, utvecklaren av det nya jaget.När Allen Ginsberg fick reda på att han hade kort tid kvar att leva ville han bygga en inspelningsstudio i sin lägenhet så att hans vänner Bob Dylan och Paul McCartney skulle ha professionell utrustning att spela på när de kom förbi.När min mamma fick en inoperabel hjärntumör så sa hon:”I det mörkaste finns bättringen. Jag tar operationen.”. Vad menade hon? Ginsberg visste.Han gjorde t'ai chi i sitt kök och tackade gud för att poeten Rimbaud blickade ner på honom från ovanför diskbänken.Min mamma levde elva år till efter operationen.När de sista solstrålarna får Victoria att lysa klart i guld över mig och alla andra som släntrar genom Tiergarten, deklamerar jag för träden och de förbipasserande en rad skriven av Lawrence Ferlinghetti till vännen Allen Ginsberg, och lovar mig själv att bli en bättre människa:”Poesin är själens energi, om själen existerar.”Då hör jag plötsligt någon säga:”Du glömde oss.”Så jag tillägger:”Träden är livets energi, och ni existerar.””Danke!” säger träden Yin och Yang, med en och samma röst.Ulf Peter Hallberg, författare och översättare

Today's episode of The Rizzuto Show spirals immediately into absolute nonsense, which honestly should surprise nobody at this point. Joey Chestnut — America's greatest competitive eater and possible future Hall of Fame digestive superhero — is officially headed back to Coney Island to defend the mustard belt… while also carrying around a little misdemeanor battery charge from a bar fight in Indiana. Nothing says patriotism like eating 70 hot dogs while on probation.The crew breaks down Joey's alleged slap incident, his legendary bologna-eating accomplishments, and why Major League Eating apparently has a softer disciplinary policy than most middle schools. Sixteen pounds of bologna in eight minutes somehow becomes a full discussion topic, because this daily comedy show continues to ask the important questions no one else will: “What actually happens to a human body after that?”Meanwhile, Britney Spears' newly released DUI footage gives the internet another unforgettable moment when she offers police officers homemade lasagna and pool access instead of, you know… cooperating normally. The gang investigates what Britney's lasagna recipe probably looks like, whether it contains Xanax seasoning, and why nobody trusts food made in Britney's kitchen anymore. Rafe invents “Lasanax,” which honestly feels like it belongs on a restaurant menu in Las Vegas.Elsewhere in the chaos:Stephen Colbert officially signs off from late night televisionPearl Jam quietly replaces Matt CameronNOFX surprises fans with new music after breaking upChloe Kardashian regrets declawing her catsLern admits she's never seen The GodfatherRizz regrets never seeing Rush liveAnd King Scott somehow turns a celebrity birthday segment into an emotional support sessionThe show also dives into bizarre celebrity birthdays, old-school arcade nostalgia, Rolling Stones trivia, Dancing with the Stars rejections, and why George Hamilton may legally be required to stay permanently tan forever.If you enjoy weird news, sarcastic humor, celebrity disasters, music talk, St. Louis nonsense, and a daily comedy show that sounds like your smartest friends slowly becoming raccoons over coffee, this episode absolutely delivers.The Rizzuto Show continues proving that no topic is too stupid to become a 20-minute discussion if the chemistry's right.This daily comedy show proudly serves comedy podcast chaos, entertainment gossip, weird stories, celebrity fails, and enough questionable opinions to keep your commute interesting.Follow The Rizzuto Show → linktr.ee/rizzshow for more from your favorite daily comedy show.Connect with The Rizzuto Show Comedy Podcast online → 1057thepoint.com/RizzShowHear The Rizz Show daily on the radio at 105.7 The Point | Hubbard Radio in St. Louis, MO.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Eerie found footage chaos meets scary viral marketing mystery in Cloverfield (2008). Director Matt Reeves, writer Drew Goddard, and producer J.J. Abrams crafted a mature-themes monster movie that redefined how handheld perspective creates terror. Henrique Couto & Rachael Redolfi revisit the kaiju-style attack, NYC devastation, and cult-classic status of this explosive creature-feature on Cutting Deep into Horror—one of the 2000s' most unsettling disaster horrors.Cloverfield remains a cult-favorite found footage monster movie built on shaky-cam panic, post-9/11 imagery, mysterious viral marketing, and the unforgettable sight of New York City collapsing under something enormous, unknowable, and very, very hungry.Inside this episode:Henrique and Rachael dig into why Cloverfield still works as a found footage horror movie, even with a studio-sized monster spectacle roaring behind the handheld camera.They revisit the original mystery-box marketing campaign, the untitled teaser, the online speculation, the Lost and Godzilla rumors, and the way the film turned pre-release confusion into a major part of the experience.The conversation walks through the movie's biggest nightmare images: the Statue of Liberty's head in the street, the collapsing city, the subway parasite attack, the rescue mission for Beth, the helicopter crash, Operation Hammer Down, and that final Coney Island clue hiding in plain sight.They also get into the film's lingering connection to 9/11-era disaster imagery, why handheld horror depends so heavily on realism, how Cloverfield compares to The Blair Witch Project and other found footage films, and why the movie's sense of panic still feels unusually immediate.Plus, they discuss the cast, Matt Reeves' later career, Steven Spielberg's reported influence on the ending, the monster's mysterious origin, and whether Cloverfield still holds up nearly two decades later.Where to watch Cloverfield (U.S.):Free with ads on Pluto TV: https://pluto.tv/us/on-demand/movies/5bd3338967f34cef7af44a37

The All Local Afternoon Update for Tuesday,

This is the All Local 4:00 P.M. update for Tuesday, May 19, 2026.

Summer cometh: the grills get scraped clean, the buns are split, and hungry Americans get set to boil or broil their wursts, wieners, and sausages. In the summer of 2021, Jamie Loftus drove from coast to coast, tasting the vast array of hot dogs that America has to offer, consuming as many as four a day—and in one notable (or regrettable) instance, five. Chicago-style and the Coney Island special; drive-through and deli; chili and chile: Loftus devoured them all. Her ensuing book, Raw Dog: The Naked Truth About Hot Dogs, brings the glory and the gory. It may be the first to detail not only the different genders of pickle jars one can buy at a gas station, but also the horrific treatment of animals and workers at slaughterhouses, conditions that got distinctly worse during the pandemic. Loftus—stand-up comedian, TV writer, and creator of such illustrious one-season podcasts as “My Year in Mensa” and “Ghost Church”—joins us to talk about the wild world of that iconic American food.This episode originally aired in 2023.Go beyond the episode:Jamie Loftus's Raw Dog: The Naked Truth About Hot DogsProPublica's exposé of the meatpacking industry during Covid revealed awful conditions, and government collusionDelight your senses with PBS's classic A Hot Dog ProgramA few of the varieties mentioned in this episode:The Texas Tavern (not in Texas)Hungarian hot dogs … in ToledoThe baloney-wrapped hot dogs at Attman'sWhat'll ya have at the Varsity?Ben's Chili Bowl, where half-smokes and chili dogs reignThe Sonoran hot dogBut Loftus's top five are:Rutt's Hut in Clifton, New JerseyHot Dog Ruiz Los Chipilones in Tucson, ArizonaKing Jong Grillin in Portland, OregonThe hot dog carts across the street from the Crypto.com Arena, or near Union Station in Los Angeles, CaliforniaTexas Tavern in Roanoke, VirginiaTune in every other week to catch interviews with the liveliest voices from literature, the arts, sciences, history, and public affairs; reports on cutting-edge works in progress; long-form narratives; and compelling excerpts from new books.

Magyarok Amerikában, New York-i magyar történetek, magyar vállalkozó Amerikában, Mayer szörp az USA-ban, Oszter Gábor életútja és a MÓKA Podcast egyik legszínesebb beszélgetése. Ebben az epizódban egy budapesti fiú történetét ismerjük meg, aki 1989-ben érkezett Amerikába, Brooklynban nőtt bele az új világba, majd vállalkozóként magyar ízeket kezdett el vinni az amerikai piacra.   Oszter Gábor története bevándorlásról, honvágyról, New York-i magyar közösségről, vállalkozói ösztönről, Coney Island különös világáról és a Mayer szörp amerikai útjáról szól.   Gábor gyerekként nem tűzoltó vagy buszvezető akart lenni, hanem hamburgert és hot dogot szeretett volna árulni a Körúton. Már akkor is az emberekkel való kapcsolódás érdekelte, nem csak az eladás, hanem a beszélgetés, a kiszolgálás és az a különös energia, ami egy jó kereskedőben megvan.   1989. november 9-én, a berlini fal leomlásának napján érkezett családjával az Egyesült Államokba. Ő maga nem nagyon akart eljönni Magyarországról, hiszen otthon voltak a barátai, az édesapja, a kutyája, és már gyerekként is járt a Petőfi Csarnok bolhapiacára, ahol pénzt keresett. Amerika eleinte nem álom volt számára, hanem kényszerű újrakezdés.   A beszélgetésben szó van arról, milyen volt magyar tinédzserként Brooklynban iskolába járni, angolul tanulni, beilleszkedni, és közben keresni a magyarokat. Gábor mesél a high school évekről, az első magyar barátokról, a brooklyni kosarazásról, majd a Central Parkban kialakuló magyar focis közösségről. Mobiltelefon és social media nélkül, csak ismerősökön, vonatokon és beszélgetéseken keresztül gyűltek össze a magyarok.   Előkerül a régi New York-i magyar közösség világa is: Molnár Travel, repülőjegyek, bevándorlási ügyek, magyar rendezvények, magyar napok, és az a korszak, amikor a közösség sokkal személyesebb volt.   Gábor életútja nem hagyományos karriertörténet. Nem az iskolapadból építette magát, hanem az életből. Mesél a Brooklyn College-ról, Kingsborough Community College-ról, a tanulással kapcsolatos nehézségeiről, és arról, hogyan érezte már fiatalon, hogy ő inkább "street smart" típus, aki az emberek között tanulja meg, hogyan működik a világ.   Az epizód egyik legérdekesebb része Gábor első amerikai vállalkozása: cukros és snack automatákat helyezett ki Brooklynban, Brighton Beachen, Coney Island környékén, éttermekben, mosodákban, bárokban és car service helyeken. Innen jönnek a legfilmszerűbb történetek is: maffiás környezet, éttermek előtti őrök, razziák, készpénzes sztorik, és egy olyan New York, amit ma már nehéz elképzelni.   A beszélgetés második nagy témája a Mayer szörp és a Mayer's Harvest. Hogyan lesz egy magyar szörpből amerikai termék? Hogyan lehet elmagyarázni az amerikai fogyasztónak, hogy a szörp nem pancake syrup, nem cough syrup, hanem egy magyar és európai italélmény, amit vízzel, szódával, koktélokban, teában, kávéban, desszertekhez, sőt akár pácoláshoz is lehet használni?   Ez az epizód nem csak szörpről szól. Hanem arról, hogy mit jelent magyar vállalkozóként Amerikában gondolkodni, két ország között élni, két kultúrából építkezni, és közben valami olyat létrehozni, ami egyszerre üzlet, küldetés és identitás.   Fejezetek:   00:00 Bevezető: maffiás sztorik és magyar szörp Amerikában 01:52 Oszter Gábor bemutatása és gyerekkori álma 04:22 Kiköltözés Amerikába 1989-ben 06:34 Brooklyn, high school és az első magyar barátok 08:37 Central Park, magyar foci és New York-i közösség 13:35 Iskola, Brooklyn College és a "street smart" életút 18:32 Cukros automaták, Candyman és az első vállalkozás 23:10 Coney Island, Brighton Beach és a 90-es évek vad New Yorkja 27:02 Mercedes Dallasba és egy gyanús ajánlat 33:20 Delta Airlines, munka és amerikai lehetőségek 45:00 Hogyan került képbe a Mayer szörp? 50:00 Magyar ízek az amerikai piacon 58:00 Mayer's Harvest, Amazon és az amerikai piac 01:02:02 Szörp koktélba, kávéba, pácoláshoz és desszertekhez 01:09:57 Zárás és folytatás   Website: www.mayersharvest.com (http://www.mayersharvest.com/) Amazon Store: https://rb.gy/j1eiuy   Iratkozz fel a csatornára további magyar New York-i interjúkért és podcast epizódokért.   https://bit.ly/MOKAPodcatsSign  Kövess minket Facebookon: @mokapodcast Instagramon: @mokapodcastusa Web: mokapodcast.com Spotify  (https://bit.ly/mokapodcast) Apple Podcast  (https://bit.ly/moka2021) [Google Podcast](https://bit.ly/MokaGoogle) [Deezer](https://bit.ly/MokaDeezer) [LibSyn](https://bit.ly/MokaLibsyn) [Facebook](https://bit.ly/MokaFB)   magyarok Amerikában, magyarok New Yorkban, New York-i magyarok, magyar podcast, MÓKA Podcast, Oszter Gábor, Mayer szörp, Mayer's Harvest, magyar szörp Amerikában, magyar vállalkozó Amerikában, Brooklyn magyarok, Coney Island, Brighton Beach, magyar közösség Amerikában, bevándorlás Amerikába, Hungarian Americans, Hungarian podcast

Mit 43 gehört man in der Hip-Hop-Welt schon zu den älteren Semestern. Und wie ein Elder Statesman gebärt sich auch der New Yorker Nems; eines seiner Aliase ist „The Mayor of Coney Island“. Der Herr Bürgermeister hat jetzt ein paar neue Reime gedroppt. Mahdi Rahimi Trishe S und Natalie Brunner haben sich „The Bar Exam“ von Nems und Ron Browz im Black Moon Remix angehört.

He's called games from baseball diamonds to basketball courts, from college campuses to the biggest stages in sports. Our guest today knows what it sounds like when history happens — because he was the one describing it. "Coney Island" Dave Cohen spent three decades as a freelance play-by-play voice for ESPN, debuting on the network all the way back in 1979, when sports on cable was still finding its legs. He was an innovator in sports cable programming and was instrumental in the beginnings of all-sports radio in New York. As the TV play-by-play voice of the New York Yankees on MSG Network, he won an Emmy Award in 1996 for his call of a Dwight Gooden no-hitter.  A lifelong friend of Bob Costas, he also served as announcer on Costas Coast to Coast  — and if that weren't enough, he's taken his voice to Hollywood, appearing in films like Glory Road and Trouble with the Curve.In this episode Dave reflects on the ;legacy of great broadcasters who graduated fron his alma mater, Syracuse University. He also talks sports television, the new college sports landscape and much, much more. This is Dave's third appearance on SATB and when you listen, you'll know why.

The case of Mickey Douglas centers on a deadly shooting at a Coney Island–style restaurant in Detroit in July 2020, where Douglas opened fire inside the establishment after a brief interaction reportedly triggered by a comment about his girlfriend. The attack killed three victims—Brian Jackson, Carnell Watts, and Courtney Willis—and left a fourth person seriously injured.Prosecutors charged Douglas with multiple felonies, including three counts of first-degree murder and assault with intent to murder, and evidence showed he had a prior violent criminal history and was on parole at the time. He was later convicted of second-degree murder and related charges and sentenced to decades in prison (roughly 40–60 years per count), with the court describing the shooting as senseless and unprovoked, stemming from a minor dispute that escalated into lethal violence.https://www.unforbiddentruth.com/Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/unforbidden-truth--4724561/support.

Hej! W najnowszym odcinku serii Powojnie opowiadam historię Donalda Trumpa jeszcze z czasów, zanim zadeklarował swoje polityczne ambicje. Skąd wzięła się fortuna jego rodziny? Aby to wyjaśnić, cofam się do XIX wieku i przyglądam się losom dziadka obecnego prezydenta Stanów Zjednoczonych. Natomiast najważniejszym wzorem dla Donalda Trumpa był jego ojciec – przedsiębiorca odnoszący liczne sukcesy, choć nienależący do ścisłej elity biznesowej Nowego Jorku. Jego inwestycje koncentrowały się głównie na Brooklynie i w rejonie Coney Island.Gdzie uczył się przyszły prezydent USA i czego dotyczyła pierwsza medialna wzmianka na jego temat? Z kim przyjaźnił się w młodości? Kto był dla niego inspiracją na biznesowej drodze? I dlaczego zasłynął z wyjątkowo twardego, często agresywnego stylu negocjacji? Tego również się od kogoś nauczył.O tym wszystkim opowiadam w najnowszym odcinku mojej serii

Larry reflects on his early years as a scrappy Brooklyn kid, rising through the ranks of the cable industry by curiosity, confidence, and a refusal to follow the expected path. What began as a temporary summer job underground splicing cables turned into a meteoric rise, eventually leading him to Los Angeles and the bold vision that became E! Entertainment. We explore how E! was built not with massive funding or prestige, but with creativity, interns, borrowed equipment, and a willingness to ignore the rules of Hollywood. Larry shares the stories behind groundbreaking moments, sneaking onto red carpets, launching shows like Talk Soup, and recognizing that people wanted entertainment that felt real, playful, and unscripted. The conversation deepens as Larry opens up about the most transformative moment of his life– when his teenage son was diagnosed with a terminal brain tumor and given months to live, everything shifted. Against all odds, his son survived and has now been cancer-free for over twenty years. That experience redefined Larry's priorities, teaching him that success means presence, perspective, and finding joy in the moment beyond achievement. We also talk about: -Growing up resilient and self-confident despite humble beginnings -Building E! Entertainment outside traditional media power structures -Creativity born from limitation and necessity -Leadership through intuition, humor, and risk-taking -Fatherhood, regret, and the cost of ambition -A near-miraculous healing that changed everything -Finding peace,  regulation and joy through cooking and creativity This episode is a reminder that the recipe for success does not come from perfection, prestige or permission, but from trusting yourself, staying curious, not being attached and keeping life in perspective. Larry's story shows that the greatest achievements mean little without love, presence, and the courage to live and love fully. ➡️ Go check out patreon.com/allanapratt for Exclusive content! About Larry:   While I've interviewed actresses like Whoopi Goldberg, Musicians like Alan's Morissette, Quantum Physicists like Nassim Haramein, Coached Leeza Gibbons through Dancing with the Stars, and even met Joe Torres when I interned at Macy's Herald Square… never in a million years would I think I would meet let alone interview the founder of a huge TV network, one of my first internships in NYC after living in Japan, Larry Namer…  Today we have this industry veteran with over 50 years of entertainment experience on our show. He is best known as the founder of E! Entertainment Network, a network that continues to shape pop culture today and has launched the careers of many of today's pop culture superstars from Howard Stern to The Kardashians. While creating more shows that include a social conscious and enjoying cooking for his family including a new grandson, Larry has published Off Script- Recipes for Success.

On today's Daily Detroit, Jer talks with chef Craig Lieckfelt, the culinary mind behind Guns and Butter, about his return to Detroit for a March residency at the Detroit Foundation Hotel and why this city keeps calling him home. They dig into the origins of the Guns and Butter pop-up concept, how it helped pioneer a now-standard model for chefs without big backing, and the economic idea behind the name itself.​ Craig shares his passion for Great Lakes cuisine, from Upper Peninsula walleye and whitefish caviar to the blue-collar Coney Island culture that shaped his food memories growing up in Michigan. He also talks about how time in New York, Tokyo, France, and the Bay Area deepened his craft while widening his sense of responsibility around food insecurity and community.​ The conversation gets into why Detroit's grit, expectations, and global contributions make it a uniquely demanding place to "make it," and why Craig feels he cooks his best food here. You'll also get a preview of what diners can expect from the Guns and Butter experience at the Detroit Foundation Hotel, from the stunning apparatus room and open kitchen to a chef residency program that continues to elevate Detroit's place on the culinary map.​ If you check out Guns and Butter at the Detroit Foundation Hotel this month, we'd love to hear what you think—drop us a line at dailydetroit@gmail.com or 313-789-3211.​

We're in the thick of the evermore woods now with track 9, "Coney Island." (But first, we do a slight detour back to "Dorothea"). This song is heavy on the "wonder" motif that's found throughout Taylor Swift's discography, and the themes of regret and lost youth are connected to other heartbreaking songs in her discography, including "How Did It End," "Peter," and "Chloe or Sam or Sophia or Marcus." This song, which is about the dissolution of a relationship (or relationships?) also touches on many other songs in her discography, from "All Too Well" to "Dear John," and Exquisite and Hannah are devastatingly delighted to unpack them with you.

Jolly és Szuperák Barbara New Yorkban – Ázsia Expressz titkok, világsiker és... MÓKA Podcast   Ebben az epizódban a vendégeink Jolly és Szuperák Barbara (Barbi), akik 2025. december 28-án érkeztek Amerikába, és New Yorkban töltötték az újévet.   Beszélgetünk arról:  • Milyen volt szilveszterkor magyar közönség előtt fellépni az Egyesült Államokban  • Miben más a New York-i metró a budapestihez képest  • Hogyan navigáltak GPS-szel térerő nélkül a föld alatt  • Milyen volt mínusz 10 fokban a Coney Island-i jeges víz partján állni január 1-jén   Az epizód egyik legerősebb része az Ázsia Expressz kulisszatitkai.   Barbi meséli el, hogyan fordult ki a bokája egy több tíz kilós zsák cipelése közben, mégis végigcsinálta a napot az adrenalinnak köszönhetően. Este viszont megérkezett a fájdalom. A történet őszinte, nyers és inspiráló.   A műsor kapcsán kiderül az is, hogy míg Jolly ma már nem menne vissza az Ázsia Expresszbe, addig Barbi azonnal újra belevágna, ha hívnák.   Szó esik:  • Extrém alvási körülményekről  • Komfortzónából való kilépésről  • Mentális és fizikai határokról  • Egy 15 centis csótányos éjszakáról  • Arról, mit tanított a túlélésről az Ázsia Expressz   A beszélgetés másik fontos témája Jolly 30 éves zenei pályafutása.   Jolly őszintén beszél arról, hogy hosszú éveken keresztül a zene volt az első, még a család előtt is. Ma már tudatosabban választ fellépéseket, figyel az egészségére, és a magánélet került előrébb.   Külön szó esik a nemzetközi sikerről is. A Ciki Ciki Bám Bám című dal nemcsak Magyarországon lett sláger, hanem Ázsiában és Olaszországban is berobbant, sőt Amerikában line dance koreográfiák készültek rá. Magyar nyelvű dal, nemzetközi közönséggel.   Ez az epizód egyszerre szól:  • Jolly karrierjéről  • Szuperák Barbara személyes fejlődéséről  • Az Ázsia Expressz extrém kihívásairól  • Magyar előadók amerikai fellépéseiről  • Komfortzónán túli tapasztalatokról  • Újratervezésről 40 felett   Ha érdekel:  • Jolly világsikere  • Barbi Ázsia Expressz élményei  • Magyarok New Yorkban  • Hogyan változik meg az ember gondolkodása a siker után   akkor ez az epizód neked szól.   Iratkozz fel a MÓKA Podcast csatornára, és írd meg kommentben: Te elmennél az Ázsia Expresszbe?   Támogasd a MÓKA Podcastet:  Bercode.com/mokapodcast   https://bit.ly/MOKAPodcatsSign  Kövess minket Facebookon: @mokapodcast Instagramon: @mokapodcastusa Web: mokapodcast.com Spotify  (https://bit.ly/mokapodcast) Apple Podcast  (https://bit.ly/moka2021) [Google Podcast](https://bit.ly/MokaGoogle) [Deezer](https://bit.ly/MokaDeezer) [LibSyn](https://bit.ly/MokaLibsyn) [Facebook](https://bit.ly/MokaFB)

On this Monday edition of Sid & Friends in the Morning, Sid recognizes today being President's Day, originating as George Washington's birthday and the holiday still being recognized that way by the federal government despite the shift to the third Monday in February; the partial Department of Homeland Security government shutdown, the third of its kind since President Trump's second term in office began; former Speaker Newt Gingrich criticizing negotiations with Iran and describing the regime as hostile since 1979; and Mayor Mamdani's announcement of a new Coney Island business improvement district with an initial $1 million investment to support sanitation, “unification,” and marketing ahead of the summer season. Alex Traiman, John Catsimatidis, Rich Lowry, Scott Pressler & Tom Emmer join Sid on this Monday installment of Sid & Friends in the Morning. Learn more about your ad choices.

Red Apple Media Owner & Operator John Catsimatidis joins Sid live in-studio for his weekly Monday morning appearance on the program to talk about how national and international media are seeking WABC's perspective on what's happening in New York, including a documentary on socialism and a visit from the Los Angeles Times. He recounts a Fox Business Zoom appearance from the Ritz-Carlton where he complained the hotel carried MSNBC but not Fox Business, prompting calls from hotel management and corporate about changing the channel policy. Catsimatidis also talks about New York City politics and concerns about tax increases driving a continued exodus of wealthy residents, mentioning attending the New York police foundation breakfast with Jessica Tisch and others. He comments on troubles in legacy media like layoffs at the Washington Post, and addresses his real estate interests in St. Petersburg and Coney Island, saying he is cautious about further investing in New York and calling proposed Coney Island small-business funding ‘chump change,' while noting a plan for ‘giveaway supermarkets.'

Young Brooklyn thug Al Capone took a cab to Coney Island. As he traveled down Ocean Parkway, he wasn't surprised to see people practically living on the sidewalks, trying to get a breath of fresh air. He sat in the back seat, enjoying the light breeze from the open windows, on his way to the Harvard Inn, a club that belonged to Capone's employer, gangster Frankie Yale. It wasn't much of a job – just a glorified bouncer – but he saw it as a way to work himself up to someday making dough for himself. “SCARFACE” they called him, but they never used the moniker in front of him. No matter who you were, if Capone heard it, there was a good chance that you'd end up dead. Check out our new American Hauntings Podcast Network for even more spooky shows.Have a question or comment?
