Brooklyn non è solo uno dei cinque distretti di New York: è un mondo a sé, con una storia ricca di trasformazioni, immigrazione e rinascita.In questo episodio vi racconto le sue origini, dalla Brooklyn indipendente dell'Ottocento all'annessione a New York, passando per le sue mille anime.Nella seconda parte vi porto tra i quartieri da non perdere oggi: da DUMBO con i suoi panorami da cartolina, a Williamsburg e Bushwick tra rooftop e street art, fino a Brooklyn Heights e Coney Island.Scoprirete perché vale sempre la pena attraversare l'East River… e come vivere Brooklyn nel modo più autentico.
E allora abbiamo esplorato la NYC degli anni ‘70, dal punk, al rock, alla disco music, alle origini dell'hip pop e abbiamo fatto anche un salto nel passato magico di Coney Island.Ho ritenuto opportuno chiudere il cerchio con un'intervista a Tony di https://www.instagram.com/tonylikealocal/ che da circa un anno racconta la città in maniera divertente e leggera a chi desideri visitarla per la prima volta o voglia tornarci provando ad uscire però dai classici percorsi turistici.Incontrerò Tony a fine mese proprio a NYC e da lì proveremo a farmi scoprire qualche perla spesso snobbata, perché, lo sapete ormai, sono proprio quelli i luoghi che attirano di più la mia attenzione..insomma cerco l'America dimenticata anche nella Grande Mela.Sostieni AmericanA offrendomi un caffè su:https://ko-fi.com/Manage/IndexSeguimi anche sui social e iscriviti alla newsletter è gratuita, trovi tutto qua:https://substack.com/@eliistamericana?r=3rhtz0&utm_medium=iosCONTRATTO DI LICENZA SIAE NUMERO202500000066

Welcome to Episode 286 of the Spun Today Podcast, the show anchored in writing but truly unlimited in its scope. I'm your host, Tony Ortiz, and today we're diving into something both personal and nostalgic: a throwback tribute episode to my good friend and Spun Today alum, Pablo Mosquera Jr. In this heartfelt installment, we revisit one of our annual beach day recordings—this one taking place on Coney Island during that odd window in the summer of 2020, right in the midst of the COVID pandemic. Pablo and I reflect on everything from the challenges and isolation of lockdown, the mental health impact of working from home, and our predictions about the ever-evolving work landscape, to our perennial struggles getting to Governor's Island for a bike ride and, of course, our shared love of breaking the monotony with a little weekday hooky at the beach. Expect a conversation that ranges far and wide, just like the show itself. We cover road trips, favorite drinks, and the transformative power of routine escapes—plus the creative, life-affirming benefits of unplugging from work and leaning into tradition, even during uncertain times. There's even a story about a real-life lifeguard rescue and a heap of pop culture moments, from The Sopranos to Patrick Swayze classics, all through the unique lens of creativity, inspiration, and the everyday writer's perspective. So whether you're here for the writing talk, the laughs, or some much-needed motivation, this episode invites you to reminisce, recharge, and most of all, keep spinning creativity into your life—no matter what the world throws your way. Let's get into it. The Spun Today Podcast is a Podcast that is anchored in Writing & Random Rants, but unlimited in scope. Give it a whirl.

In this episode of The Adam Carolla Show, Adam kicks things off by reflecting on who's really keeping cities like Los Angeles running—and how traffic patterns seem to be changing in surprising ways. He shares a bizarre memory of acting in Frank McKlusky, C.I., a film that tried (and failed) to ride the coattails of Ace Ventura. Plus, Adam recaps his recent tour of the Pacific Palisades and gives an update on the progress (or lack thereof) in rebuilding.In the news, Jason “Mayhem” Miller joins to break down some wild headlines: A disturbing attempted kidnapping caught on camera in Coney Island, Mayor Karen Bass's furious response to an ICE raid in a gang-heavy LA neighborhood, and new drama surrounding Gary Coleman's death as his ex-wife flunks a televised lie detector test.Later, actor Justin Bartha calls in to discuss his new movie Nuked, and chats with Adam about his career highlights—including National Treasure and The Hangover. Adam asks the question on everyone's mind: Will there ever be a National Treasure 3? Justin also opens up about the reality of making good comedy films, his recent experience at a mental health retreat, and how he stays grounded amidst the chaos of Hollywood life.Get it on.FOR MORE WITH JUSTIN BARTHA:MOVIE: NUKED - hits theaters and digital / on-demand July 11INSTAGRAM: @barthabarthabarthaFOR MORE WITH JASON “MAYHEM” MILLER: INSTAGRAM & TWITTER: @mayhemmillerWEBSITE: www.mayhemnow.com Thank you for supporting our sponsors:BetOnline120Life.com - use code ADAMtry.drinkbrez.com/CAROLLA/ and use code CAROLLA for a $5 credit and free shipping on your first orderHomes.comForThePeople.com/ADAMoreillyauto.com/ADAMPluto.tvLIVE SHOWS: July 10 - Irvine, CA (Live Podcast)July 11-12 - Covina, CA (4 shows)July 16 - Rosemont, ILJuly 17 - Plymouth, WISee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

Earnings Season According to Factset: - During the second quarter, analysts reduced earnings-per-share (EPS) estimates by a wider margin than usual. - The bottom-up EPS estimate for Q2—which aggregates the median EPS forecasts for all companies in the index—fell by 4.2%, dropping from $65.55 on March 31 to $62.83 by June 30. - While it's common for analysts to lower EPS estimates during a quarter, the size of this quarter's decline stands out. Over the past 5 years (20 quarters), the average quarterly decline in the bottom-up EPS estimate has been 3.0%. - Over the past 10 years (40 quarters), the average drop was 3.1%, and over the past 15 years (60 quarters), it was 3.2%. - Only when looking back 20 years (80 quarters) does the average match this quarter's 4.2% decline. --- What this means is that easier hurdles to get over for companies that have had their earnings estimates slashed.

Bessent also said that he expects to see “several big announcements over the next couple of days” about trade deals. - Johnny:I am going to count to three! - Trump has threatened an additional 10% tariff on countries that orient themselves along the “Anti-American policies of BRICS.” - Trump's announcement, which did not elaborate on any specific policy of BRICS, came as the group's meeting is underway in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. - Navarro out with his usual tough talk about all countries in the world screwing America on CNBC Monday.. - Trump said he had signed letters to 12 countries outlining the various tariff levels they would face on goods they export to the United States, with the “take it or leave it” offers to be sent out on Monday.

In this lively and eclectic conversation, Opie and Ron the Waiter dive into a whirlwind of conspiracy theories, pop culture references, and speculative ideas about human history and extraterrestrial life. They discuss controversial topics like P Diddy parties, the Epstein list, and Lee Harvey Oswald's CIA connections, blending skepticism with humor. The conversation takes a cosmic turn as they explore theories about ancient civilizations, the true nature of Devil's Tower as a petrified tree stump, and the possibility of advanced beings living among us. From aliens traveling via vibrational frequencies to the pyramids as energy sources, challenging conventional history and ponder humanity's place in the universe. Sprinkled with playful banter, personal anecdotes about ticks and Coney Island, and a nod to upcoming UFO revelations in 2027, this episode is a wild ride through the strange and uncharted. Catch the hosts' comedic chemistry and bold ideas, culminating in a plug for Ron Berman's stand-up comedy show.

In the 1920s, Luna Park, a big amusement park in Houston, was known as the Coney Island of Texas.
TERROR ON THE BEACH! Seaside resorts from Cape May, New Jersey, to Montauk, Long Island, were paralyzed in fear during the summer of 1916.Not because of the threat of lurking German U-boats and saboteurs. But because of sharks.On July 1, 1916, Charles Epting Vansant was killed by a shark while swimming at a resort in Beach Haven, a popular destination on the Jersey Shore.At first, this terrible tragedy received only limited attention. After all, millions were flocking to the beaches along the Jersey Shore and throughout the New York region -- Coney Island, the Rockaways and Staten Island's South Beach.Shark attacks were the stuff of pirate legends and dramatic works of art. Most experts were skeptical that sharks were dangerous at all; the Maryland mogul Hermann Oelrichs offered $500 to any person with proof that sharks were dangerous to humans. Nobody claimed the reward.But during that July, sharks did threaten the lives of humans -- not only on sandy beaches, but even in tranquil watering holes, several miles inland. What was in the water in July of 1916?This show contains descriptions of violence related to shark attacks. You've been warned.This episode was edited and produced by Kieran Gannon.Visit the website for more episodes of the Bowery Boys Podcast.

Winners and losers and Dame gets cut plus are the Bucks hoarding all the Gary's (00:00:00-00:29:14)? Steelers/dolphins trade (00:29:14-00:35:44) and hot seat cool throne including Caitlin Clark fans are mad again and Shedeur Sanders found a mentor (00:35:44-01:08:25) . Diamondbacks pitchers Zac Gallen and Merrill Kelly join us in studio to talk ball in an awesome interview (01:08:25-01:58:35). Joey Chestnut joins the show ahead of his triumphant return to Coney Island (01:58:35-02:20:15). And then we finish with our annual dingers only fantasy draft where the only stat is home runs and the season starts July 2nd (02:20:15-03:24:28)You can find every episode of this show on Apple Podcasts, Spotify or YouTube.
