Send us Fan MailYouth sports can be the best thing that happens to a kid or the loudest source of stress in a family. We're joined by Dennis Biggs and Mark Rawls, two coaches who helped elevate the Gateway youth football program and who care more about the long game than the scoreboard. From the jump, they make it clear: winning cultures aren't built by slogans. They're built by adults who show up, do the unglamorous work, and earn trust one practice at a time.Dennis opens up about Sowing Seeds Consulting and the gaps he keeps seeing with high school athletes and parents. Training matters, but so does the business side of being a student-athlete: NCAA Clearinghouse steps, campus visits, communication with college coaches, grades, mindset, and the daily habits that decide whether “potential” becomes reality. We also talk about the pressure cooker created by social media and the small group of overbearing parents that can burn out great volunteer coaches, even when everyone is trying to do right by the kids.Then we go bigger: Western Pennsylvania grit, late bloomers, recruiting and scheme fit, and why the best mentor for your child might be someone outside your household. We wrap with Pittsburgh sports memories and why places like the Drawing Room can still spark the kind of real conversation that keeps communities tight. If you care about youth sports coaching, athlete development, recruiting honesty, and leadership that actually serves, this one's for you.

Send us Fan MailA great title doesn't always come from a brainstorming session.

We're posted up at The Drawing Room in Pittsburgh with A great title doesn't always come from a brainstorming session. Sometimes it comes from a Tuesday night at Mario's, a Pirates game on TV, and a buddy who grabs a pen, a bar napkin, and just knows the words. We're posted up at The Drawing Room in Pittsburgh with Robby Incmikoski and Paul “Uncle Paulie” Hogan, and the stories go from ridiculous to genuinely moving without ever feeling forced.We relive the Arizona trip that basically introduced them to each other, where a rented ballpark pool and a crew of Pirates fans turned into the kind of chaos that becomes local folklore. Then we get into Sacred Grounds, Robby's baseball book, and the exact moment Paul named it and sketched a diamond on a napkin after a few too many Great Bombs. From Cooperstown archive access to the strange layouts at places like Wrigley and the heartbreak of what happened to Oakland, we dig into what makes MLB ballparks feel alive and why baseball relationships last.Before we wrap, Paul shares what he does now after firefighting: transporting organs for transplant and research, driving through the night with hearts, lungs, and livers, and why the work gives him real purpose.

Send us Fan MailPittsburgh soccer is getting bigger, faster than the stadium can hold it. We're joined by Rachel Williamson, GM of FNB Stadium, to unpack what it really takes to grow the Pittsburgh Riverhounds from a scrappy local club into a higher-division operation with a 15,000 seat future on the line. We dig into why sellouts matter, what a championship win changes in a market like Pittsburgh, and how “professional” is built through operations as much as results.Rachel walks us through the engine behind it all: the Riverhounds Development Academy and the youth soccer explosion in Western Pennsylvania, plus the Coriopolis training facility that supports both the pro team and year-round player development. We also get into the behind-the-scenes reality of running a stadium, including how COVID forced a crash course in leadership, how she prioritizes problems in a building where something breaks every week, and why listening to fans through surveys and real conversations can reshape the game day experience.Then we widen the lens beyond soccer. With only 17 home dates, Rachel explains the push to make FNB Stadium a true year-round Pittsburgh event venue, from rentals and banquet space to boxing nights and the long game of bringing concerts and festivals back to the riverfront. Along the way, we hit the unexpected details, like why covering a field for a concert can cost around $100,000, and how that factors into booking decisions.If you like sports business, venue strategy, and how cities build momentum around teams, hit play.

Send a textA five-story landmark from 1856 just became Pittsburgh's most intriguing clubhouse on the river. Its part rooftop restaurant, part private cigar lounge, part music venue, part distillery and much more. We step inside the Drawing Room to trace how a decrepit shell turned into a South Shore destination with a skyline overlook, historic structural beams saved from the past, and a culture obsessed with fit, not flash.We break down the vertical blueprint: a rooftop built for sunsets and city photos, an events floor that swings from weddings to corporate nights, a members-first cigar lounge with two simple rules and serious ventilation, a forthcoming restaurant concept shaped by neighborhood demand, and a ground-level deli, bottle shop, and distillery linking daily life to late nights. Along the way, we talk partnerships that matter city life, hotels, venues, local teams. They want highlight the riverfront so it becomes a destination circuit instead of a one-off stop. Draft week turns the volume up even more, with the Dan Patrick Show broadcasting from the Drawing Room and a calendar packed with parties, foundations, and live sets.Sports and city identity thread everything together. We swap memories of terrible towels and summer nights at the ballpark, and we wrestle with expectations: what “winning” really means, how culture beats clout in a clubhouse, and why a fanbase that fills seats and keeps TV numbers strong year after year. We explore the Pirates' outlook with their young talented arms, O'Neil Cruz's ceiling, and what it takes to keep generational stars through the lens of legacy deals and the city's history of creative solutions. If you care about urban revival, hospitality strategy, or how a curated community can turn a building into a beacon, this show is for you.Subscribe, share with a Pittsburgh friend, and leave a review to help more people find the show.

Step inside the Drawing Room of the official residence of the Royal Family in Northern Ireland. Inspired by the Queen Mother, full of contemporary art, and surprisingly cozy, this is a room unlike any other across our palaces. Welcome to a new series of A Space I Love, the mini-series that transports you to history where it happened. In this first episode, Castle Host Carol McMullan takes us on an intimate tour of a place where state and family life have merged for generations of the royals, and where the history of Northern Ireland has been shaped by momentous negotiations.

The latest Scots Whay Hae! podcast is the third of our Edinburgh Fringe Festival Previews, where Ali talks to a few of the artists who will be appearing at the Fringe this year.First of all actor, writer and theatre maker James Clements' tells us all about The Burns Project where we are promised "An immersive theatrical Burns experience like no other.". Without any spoilers, James talks about the research undertaken, how the show came together, working with director Cora Bissett, the extraordinary setting of The Drawing Room at The Georgian House, collaborating with the National Trust for Scotland, and much more.Then writer, performer (and regular guest on the SWH! podcast over the years) Alan Bissett talks about his show When Billy Met Alasdair where, using a photo of the occasion as the inspiration, Alan imagines the conversation between Billy Connolly and Alasdair Gray when they met at the launch of Alasdair's novel Lanark at the Third Eye Centre (now the CCA). He talks about creating a script from that initial premise, being in the Scottish Storytelling Centre, and the perilous nature of finally making it to the stage.These shows take on three Scottish icons with a global reach who have changed the face and very nature of Scottish culture, and it was fascinating to hear about both, which happen to feature in the SWH! Top 10 Picks Of The Edinburgh Fringe 2025.These podcasts are always a joy to record and get just a taste of what's happening in Edinburgh this August, and we hope these discussions get you in the mood for this year's Fringe.Full details, including all the ways to listen, are over at scotswhayhae.com
In this special episode, contemporary artist Amba Sayal-Bennett joins EMPIRE LINES live, to trace the migrations of rubber seeds between South America, London, and British colonies in South Asia in the 19th century, plus the role of soil in anticolonial resistance, through their digital drawing and sculpture, Kern (2024).Rubber is a commodity that was once so highly demanded that its value surpassed that of silver. In a mission facilitated by the British government, Henry Wickham stole and trafficked 70,000 rubber seeds from the Amazon rainforest in Brazil in 1876. Transported to Kew Gardens in London, they were then dispersed across Britain's colonies for cultivation. Its plural uses and potential for profit led to its proliferation across the globe - yet the soil in India, then known as the British Raj, refused to take the seeds, which the artist puts forward as a form of environmental resistance to the colonial project.Amba Sayal-Bennett's wall-based sculptures Kern (2024) and Phlo (2024) are part of their investigations into the migrations of forms, bodies, and knowledge across different sites. Presented in SEEDLINGS: Diasporic Imaginaries, currently touring Scotland with Travelling Gallery, we discuss this visual research into how colonial practices often decontextualise and appropriate forms. Amba delves botanical and anatomical drawings, and how these illustrations have been used to commodify and control plants, environments, and people. We consider through the construction and overlapping uses of terms like ‘native' and, ‘invasive', ‘indigenous', ‘naturalisation', and ‘dispersal', to challenge binaries between human and more-than-human beings, and consider ideas of home, identity, and belonging in the context of diasporas. Amba details her relationship with ornamentation, abstraction, and displacement, and how she translates her digital drawings into sculptural forms, rendered with biodegradable, but ‘unnatural', industrial plastics. Drawing on her site-specific works for Geometries of Difference (2022) at Somerset House, and Drawing Room Invites... in London, we also delve into Amba's critical engagement with sci-fi and modernist architecture, travelling to Le Corbusier's purpose-built city of Chandigarh in Punjab, the birthplace of her maternal grandparents, to explore tropical modernism.This episode was recorded live at Somerset House Studios in London, as part of the public programme for SEEDLINGS: Diasporic Imaginaries, curated by Jelena Sofronijevic with Travelling Gallery in Scotland. The group exhibition, featuring Emii Alrai, Iman Datoo, Radovan Kraguly, Zeljko Kujundzic, Remi Jabłecki, Leo Robinson, and Amba Sayal-Bennett, is touring across Scotland, culminating at Edinburgh Art Festival (EAF 2025) in August 2025.For more information, follow Travelling Gallery and EMPIRE LINES on social media, and visit: linktr.ee/SEEDLINGSTG2025Drawing Room Invites…: Anna Paterson, Alicia Reyes McNamara, Amba Sayal-Bennett is at the Drawing Room in London until 27 July 2025.For more about Between Hands and Metal (2024), a group exhibition featuring Amba Sayal-Bennett, Alia Hamaoui, and Raheel Khan at Palmer Gallery in London, read my article in gowithYamo:. gowithyamo.com/blog/palmer-gallery-maryleboneFor more science fiction and sci-fi films, hear Tanoa Sasraku on her series of Terratypes (2022-Now) at the Royal Albert Memorial Museum (RAMM) in Exeter: pod.link/1533637675/episode/3083096d6354376421721cfbb49d0ba7For more from Invasion Ecology (2024), co-curated by Jelena Sofronijevic for Radical Ecology, and Vashti Cassinelli at Southcombe Barn, an arts space and gardens on Dartmoor, visit: radicalecology.earth/events/invasion-ecology-exhibition and instagram.com/p/C7lYcigovSNPRODUCER: Jelena Sofronijevic.Follow EMPIRE LINES on Instagram: instagram.com/empirelinespodcastSupport EMPIRE LINES on Patreon: patreon.com/empirelines
In part 1 of my conversation with acclaimed bartender Charles Joly, some of the topics we discuss include: The two predominant “schools” of cocktail programs you might encounter in the early 2000s, and how Charles found his home and his voice in the seasonal and ingredient-focused program at a place called The Drawing Room. The conditions and events that led Charles to take on his break-out role on a national stage as the beverage director of the incredibly high-profile bar at The Aviary--a venue renowned for its avant-garde, highly technical molecular mixology drink preparations. How Charles handled the culture shock of transitioning into that role - the feeling of being parachute-dropped into a foreign land - and why a round of cheeky Tequila shots with guests helped to humanize the service style just a little. We also discuss what it means for a cocktail or ingredient to make “sense,” which involves using context cues and narrative structure to help communicate the “why” behind the “what” and “how” of a drink. Along the way, we explore the tattoos you'd see on Charles' arms if he were to prepare a drink in front of you, why every bartender should know somebody peddling rare tea and Iberico ham, the beauty of “vibe-based” bartender's choice cocktails, and much, much more.

Contemporary and performance artist Paul Maheke moves between France, Congo, and Canada, exploring the ‘archive of their body' through drawing and dance, via Taboo Durag (2021). To Be Blindly Hopeful emerged from the very last sentence of a journal that Paul Maheke kept between August 2020 and June 2021, capturing the turbulence of the COVID pandemic. Central to Maheke's practice is a delicate dance between the individual and the collective, personal and broader sociopolitical contexts, echoing the sentiment expressed by bell hooks, who reminds us that ‘the space of our lack is also the space of possibility.' Currently based in France, Paul shares works 'staged' in previous exhibitions at South London Gallery, Chisenhale Gallery, and Tate Modern, highlighting how the ‘new' drawings, prints, book illustrations, and paintings on display here have long formed part of his practice. He explains how performance and dance can be both emancipatory and trapping, with respect to queerness, masculinity and gender, and the reality of being ‘brown body looked at my white audience' - drawing on his lifelong admiration for the French-born ice skater, Surya Bonaly. We discuss Paul's popular culture and academic Influences like Grace Jones and Félix González-Torres, Audre Lorde and Édouard Glissant, and Bruce Nauman to Paul B. Preciado - not as icons but real, complex people. Finally, Paul highlights how his work changes in its global travels, from the Baltic Triennale in Estonia, to Johanneburg, South Africa - and, drawing on collaborations with family members and fellow artist Melika Ngombe Kolongo (Nkisi) for the Congo Biennale in 2021, his personal relationship with arts institutions on the continent, as a diasporic artist. Paul Maheke: To Be Blindly Hopeful runs at MOSTYN, Wales until 29 June 2024. It includes Taboo Durag (2021), produced as a performance to camera for Glasgow International 2021.

Dearest listeners, grab your tickets and front row seats for our encore performance of ‘Four Clowns Lose Their Minds Over 32 Seconds of Footage.' In this special bonus episode, we can't see the forest for the trees, but we'll be placing our newest theories under the spotlight as we tackle the ever-growing mystery of the Season 3 timeline. We'll be reading Whistledown with a grumpy Unicolin, drinking lemonade with Anton Chekov and contemplating whether an innocent bit of blue fabric is in fact a smoking gun-in-waiting. Elsewhere, we'll be chasing Moonlight Polin through the shrubbery and asking the all-important question, ‘how many times can we say the word ‘topiary' in one episode?' Unfortunately, dear listeners, it would seem the limit does not exist. But forgive us for hedging our bets with these particular points of interest. After all, those topiaries have taken shape so naturally, one could take it for planted. * Show Notes YouTube: Bridgerton S3 sneak peek - Drawing Room scene YouTube: Next on Netflix 2024 – ft.

Having first captured our attention with Monolithic Nuance (2018) for Longform Editions, Megan Mitchell's Cruel Diagonals has continued to impress with each new work. With Fractured Whole, she set herself the task of producing an album using nothing but her voice as raw material. While she deserves recognition as a gifted vocalist, she deserves at least as much praise for her production work, alchemically transmuting her voice into a wide range of instruments and textures. In this episode, she discusses the production challenges posed by Fractured Whole, her background in musical theatre, her work with the feminist archive Many Many Women, and much more.

Sutapa Biswas talks to Ben Luke about her influences—from writers to musicians, film-makers and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped her life and work. Biswas was born in Santinekethan, India, in 1962, and her work in painting, drawing, photography and video explores race and gender within the context of colonialism and its legacies. Made over five decades since the early 1980s, her art is both rigorously consistent in its themes and thrillingly diverse in mood and mode—by turns poetic, activist and even satirical. She discusses her studies in art and art history with Griselda Pollock, among others, at the University of Leeds in the 1980s, where she challenged the Eurocentric framing of the course, and made crucial early pieces including the painting Housewives with Steak-knives (1983-85). She reflects on her family history, and the traumatic journey to the UK from India, and how this haunts her work today. She discusses the influence of artists including Leonor Fini, Johannes Vermeer and Mary Kelly, film-makers like Satyajit Ray and Jean Cocteau, and writers including Marcel Proust. And she answers our usual questions, including the ultimate: what is art for?Women in Revolt!

Writing Gilded Age romances with hellions, scandals, and one starchy Duke - Joanna Shupe joins the Duchess and Lady.
This is a rebroadcast of an episode of This Thing We Call Art, a podcast where the host Kelly Lloyd speaks to people in the arts about their livelihoods. Lloyd originally interviewed artist Nicole Morris on February 25, 2021 and the 44-minute episode featuring portions of the two and a half-hour-long conversation was released on February 24, 2022. The podcast features a conversation that includes discussion of navigating being a solo artist and an art educator, the limitations of the formats of the solo show and the retrospective, motherhood, reproductive labor and care labor, and incidental interruptions in the creative process. Kelly Lloyd is a transdisciplinary artist who focuses on issues of representation and knowledge production and prioritizes public-facing collaborative research. Lloyd has recently held solo exhibitions at the Royal Academy Schools (London), Crybaby (Berlin), Bill's Auto (Chicago), Demo Room (Aarhus), and Dirty House (London) for which she won the Art Licks Workweek Prize. Lloyd was the Starr Fellow at the Royal Academy Schools during the 2018/19 school year and is currently studying at The University of Oxford's Ruskin School of Art and Wadham College for her DPhil in Practice-Led Fine Art with support from an All Souls-AHRC Graduate Scholarship and an Open-Oxford-Cambridge Doctoral Training Programme Studentship. In 2021, Lloyd launched This Thing We Call Art, a podcast and online archive featuring excerpts from 50+ interviews with people in the arts she has conducted since 2017. Nicole Morris is an artist working across gallery, education and community settings both in a solo and collaborative context. Her work uses textiles and film to explore themes of domesticity and labour and how these are performed or re-presented in new contexts. Her work has recently been included in exhibitions and projects at The Foundling Museum, London; Southwark Park Galleries, London; Royal Museums Greenwich, London; The Drawing Room, London; [SPACE], London; Baltic, Gateshead; South London Gallery; Bluecoat, Liverpool; G39, Cardiff; Jerwood, London and The National Gallery, Prague.

In s3e7 of Platemark series three, Ann Shafer and Tru Ludwig sit down with Elizabeth Wyckoff, Curator of Prints and Drawings at the Saint Louis Art Museum, to talk about the exhibition Catching the Moment: Contemporary Art from the Ted L. and Maryanne Ellison Simmons Collection, which is open until September 11, 2022. The Simmons collection, recently acquired by the Saint Louis Art Museum, provided an opportunity to take a deep dive into three artists they collected in depth: Kiki Smith, Enrique Chagoya, and Tom Huck. The major through line is works that critique a broad range of social, political, and art historical concepts. Other artists in the exhibition include Jaune Quick-to-See Smith, Bruce Nauman, H.C. Westermann, Tony Fitzpatrick, and Kara Walker. Elizabeth, like so many curators of prints and drawings, is responsible for works of art on paper from the 15th century through tomorrow, even though her dissertation focused on Dutch print publisher Jan Pietersz Berendrecht, who was active in Haarlem in the 1620s. Hear about living in Amsterdam while researching Berendrecht, working with the Simmons, and what her (fictitious) retirement gift will be.

September 11, 2001 was a day of shocking violence and loss. But, in the aftermath, it was also a day of heroism and of community. As planes bound for New York were being turned away, many of them found themselves being directed to the small town of Gander, in Newfoundland, Canada. Almost seven thousand people landed in Gander on that day. It could have been impossible. It could have been overwhelming. But instead, the town opened its arms to those strangers. Their story was turned into a Tony Award winning musical, Come From Away, and in the Drawing Room, Gander residents Oz Fudge and Brian Mosher share how those days changed their lives.

Australian director Richard Gray talks about his new film, Murder at Yellowstone City, and the town he built along the way.
Most of us would think of Australia as a trustworthy country, largely free from corruption and dirty money, at least in a global context.

And why have several major institutions in Australia been linked to money laundering? Nathan Lynch is an expert on financial crime and the author of a new book, The Lucky Laundry.

Emma also talks to Lady Gage about why Firle Place is considered by many to be one of prettiest houses in the country. Top Quotes: “There's an endless movement and evolution in the use of these homes. They defy the notions of permanence.” - Lady Gage “Prince Philip used to call Firle Place the prettiest little house he ever knew.” - Lady Gage About the Guest and Stately Home: Alexandra, Viscountess Gage is the current custodian of Firle Place with her husband, Nicholas, 8th Viscount Gage. The couple married in 2009 and have one son together. Alongside being custodian of Firle, Lady Gage has her own skincare range called 'Beauty Energy Balms', made by hand on the estate from herbs grown in the garden. Of the collection she says: “I would say that it's been a labour of love, except that it's felt like more love than labour,” The products are on Firle's website and in the gift shop. The history of Firle Place is the history of the one family; the Gages. The house was built by Sir John Gage in 1473 and there have been Gages at Firle ever since. During the Tudor period, Sir John Gage, KG (1479-1556) had a distinguished political career. He served as Governor of Calais and Constable of the Tower of London. The transformation of Firle from a Tudor manor to an elegant Georgian home, was the work of Sir William Gage in the early 18th century and completed by his cousin, the 1st Viscount Gage, who inherited the estate in 1744. Major interior features include the neo-classical Drawing Room, designed by William Kent, and the Long Gallery, the work of Scottish architect Colen Campbell. The Long Gallery displays the internationally important Cowper Collection of fine art, amassed by the 3rd Earl Cowper, one of the great art collectors of the 18th century. The house is also known for its beauty and wonderful collection of books. About the Host: Emma, Duchess of Rutland, grew up far away from the world of the aristocracy.
