Danny Meyer built Union Square Hospitality Group on a promise: he'd never close a restaurant. Then he closed one, and it changed how he thinks and writes about leadership. Twenty years after the release of his influential book Setting the Table, Meyer returns with a terrific new memoir, What Could Possibly Go Right?, and he joins us to talk about failure, scaling culture across 700 restaurants, walking back his progressive no-tipping experiment, and what it feels like to hand the reins of his own company to someone else.

Jerome Sauvage served as the United Nations Resident Coordinator and United Nations Development Program (UNDP) Resident Representative in North Korea from 2009 to 2013. In this capacity, he was the most senior UN official in North Korea during one of the most eventful political periods on the Korean peninsula in recent memory. Amidst the sinking of the ROKS Cheonan, shelling of Yeonpyeong Island, and death of Kim Jong-il, Sauvage had to resurrect and strengthen UNDP's—and the UN overall's—presence in North Korea by delicately navigating the politics of not only Pyongyang, but also the overall international development ecosystem. In this NBN episode, we talk with Sauvage about those experiences, which he recounts in his memoir Witness to North Korea: Three Years on the Ground in the DPRK (Bloomsbury, 2026). The book offers an on-the-ground record of what diplomatic engagement in North Korea actually looks like, for instance regarding how one negotiates employment contracts and handles payroll in a country with no formal labor market. Especially with the DPRK's borders largely closed to foreigners—including UN staff—after COVID, Witness to North Korea provides not only a look back at a past era, but also learnings for future engagement with North Korea. Anthony Kao is a writer who intersects international affairs and cultural criticism. He founded/edits Cinema Escapist—a publication exploring the sociopolitical context behind global film and television—and also writes for outlets like The Guardian, Al Jazeera, The Diplomat, and Eater.

It's the return of Food Writers Talking About Food Writing. Every couple of weeks, Matt invites a journalist to talk about some favorite recent food writing as well as their thoughts on the industry as a whole. Dana Brown was a fixture of Vanity Fair's Oscar-party machine and Graydon Carter's inner circle for more than two decades before writing it all down in his memoir, Dilettante. He returns to the studio with a new job: editor in chief of Caper, the scoop-driven media start-up applying a Puck-style power-and-money lens to restaurants, chefs, and the food business. In this episode, we talk about economics at The Grill, the Keith McNally legacy, and what's good in the world of Caper.

Originally aired on September 6, 2026. On this episode, Doug interviews expert Mark Johnson about tidal movement and how understanding that can lead to better fishing. Doug also talks about ultrasonic cleaning of reels, a lake that used to produce much more fish, and how today's a sad day for kite fliers. All of this and much more, on The Doug Pike Show.

Are you tired of watching every one you know go to Italy? Florence-based food blogger and culinary tour guide Coral Sisk was, and she penned a viral complaint about it for the popular online foodie publication Eater, with the specific complaint that the media turns too much of its focus on Italy—particularly when it comes to food programming—so tourists think it's the "only" place to go. The comment section was wild, with most of the responses somewhere along the lines of "I love Italy and there's nothing wrong with that!" Of course there isn't, but does Sisk have a point? Does the media contribute to an oversaturation of tourists in Italy when there is so much world out there to explore and eat your way through? And is this excessive tourism even beneficial to Italy and its tourism industry? And while we're at it, why is it that people come back to Italy again and again? In this episode from our archives, we try to find the answer by sitting down with Coral Sisk, food writer and Florence resident who had some very strong opinions on the topic. Follow Coral's culinary adventures on Instagram, or visit her website Curious Appetite to read her blog or book a Florence food tour. ***The Bittersweet Life podcast has been on the air for an impressive 10+ years!

There are quite a few beautiful Dolly Parton remembrances that have been published since her death, but only one that talked about Dolly's love of food and the many contributions Parton made to the food culture. Today's guest on Special Sauce, Amy McCarthy, former Eater writer and editor and one of Ravenous' employee owners, wrote that smart and thoughtful piece about Dolly, so smart and thoughtful I thought she could come on the show and talk about it. Amy turned out to be the perfect Special Sauce guest. Long Live Dolly Parton.  Learn about your ad choices: dovetail.prx.org/ad-choices

Doors to Outsmart Overeating are OPEN, y'all! Click here for program details.   Our signature program is live now through Thursday, and today's episode is the perfect place to start if you're on the fence.   Because here's the thing: two versions of you exist a year from now. Same starting point, completely different lives. The only thing that decides which one you become? What you do today.   In this episode, we get real about why your relationship with food feels stuck on repeat, and why more willpower isn't the fix. We're talking future self-continuity, the "marble in the jar" concept, and why decades of dieting have wired habits that aren't your fault, but are yours to change.   Here's what you'll walk away with:   Why your brain defaults to old patterns, and the one shift that interrupts it The "two versions of you" exercise to get clear on where you're headed How tiny decisions, not dramatic overhauls, actually rewire your identity around food Why visualizing "success" the wrong way keeps you stuck in willpower mode A daily practice you can start today to build evidence you're becoming someone new   This is a real, practical look at how change actually happens, one decision at a time.   Full program details avaiable in last week's episode and on the website here.   You can also connect with Leslie & Steph on Instagram.     If you want to learn how to not-only lose weight, but also lose the struggle along side it, you can get started by taking the Weight Loss Psychology Quiz: Discover Your Diet Personality Type

The Godsinger crew has crossed the Greenstream, survived Ragged Wood, and secured the parasite cure. Now comes the part nobody planned for: getting Happy laid. To save him from his own self-destructive heartbreak, Kezza, Bebo, and Zin have to help Happy win over the only thing he's ever truly wanted: the love of his misses, The Kraken. That means surviving its mating ritual, either impress the leviathan or be crushed and pulled into the undereaves. Between dodging tentacles, managing three enthralled captains, and trying not to become collateral damage in a kaiju romance, the crew will need every trick they've got just to get everyone out alive. It's messy. It's absurd. It might actually work. This is the final chapter of the Happy Eater tale, but we're hoping to bring you more stories from Rivenwake.

Aleister Crowley was a famous English occultist, writer, and mountain climber. He lived from 1875 to 1947. The media often called him "the wickedest man in the world" because he shocked society by breaking traditional religious and moral rules. [1, 2, 3, 4, 5]Crowley is best known for creating a new spiritual philosophy and religion called Thelema. He also rejected standard science and religion, trying to blend magic with scientific methods instead. [1, 2, 3]This is what I picked up on his energies + spirit box session

Kezza, Bebo, and Zin link up with the crew leaders of the Screw Loose and the Little Rascal to plot an escape from Happy's suicidal embrace. But first, they have to cross the Greenstream, the mighty southern current separating the safety of the Mesoreia from the lawless mangrove jungles of Ragged Wood. Mile-tall irontide trees sway and crash in unison, threatening to splinter their ships before they even reach the far shore. Survive that, and the real challenge starts: finding the fabled juju bean, a guaranteed cure for parasites, including the happy kind. But the deeper they push into uncharted Ragged Wood, the closer they're drawn to something they can't outrun: Happy's lady love. Disclaimer: This episode contains profanity and violence.

In this episode of the New Books Network, we talk with Jeremy Tiang about his English translation of The Formosa Exchange (Honford Star, 2026)—which will be released on September 18, 2026 (but is available for preorder).Tiang is a novelist, playwright, and translator based in New York. He has translated more than thirty books from Chinese to English—including Zou Jingzhi's Ninth Building, longlisted for the 2023 International Booker Prize—and has served as a judge for the National Book Award for translated literature. Beyond translation, his novel State of Emergency won the Singapore Literature Prize in 2018, and his play Salesman之死 won a Obie Award for Outstanding New Play in 2023. Originally published in Mandarin in 2021 as 新寶島 and winner of that year's Taiwan Literature Award, The Formosa Exchange is a work of speculative fiction by Taiwanese novelist Huang Chongkai (黃崇凱). The novel kicks off with a fantastical occurrence: one night, the entire populations of Taiwan and Cuba swap places, with Taiwanese people ending up on the island of Cuba and Cuban people on the island of Taiwan. This “Great Exchange” becomes a lens for examining national identity, indigeneity, and colonialism, especially with reference to Taiwan's and Cuba's shared position in the shadow of their much larger neighbors of China and the United States. Scholars and learners across history, political science, anthropology, literature, and beyond will find much food for thought in The Formosa Exchange. The novel is dense with allusions—it nods to Western thinkers like John Mearsheimer and Claude Lévi-Strauss, while also weaving in references to Taiwanese and Cuban literature, art, and film. Anthony Kao is a writer who intersects international affairs and cultural criticism. He founded/edits Cinema Escapist—a publication exploring the sociopolitical context behind global film and television—and also writes for outlets like The Guardian, Al Jazeera, The Diplomat, and Eater.

Ooh, Dream Eater, I believe you can get me in the night, ooh Dream Eater, I don't believe I can reach the morning light. What do you consider the difference between “Lovecraftian Horror”, “Cosmic Horror”, and “Demonic Horror” to be? You might not be able to put your finger on it, but if you go into 2025's “Dream Eater” thinking it's the Lovecraftian Horror it's billed as, you'll probably be able to afterwards. Nothing like getting granular with your genre definitions!

Hosted by Klein, Ally, and a cast of weirdos (both on the team and from their audience), the show is known for its raw, offbeat style, offering a mix of sarcastic banter, candid interviews, and an unfiltered take on everything from culture to the chaos of everyday life. With a loyal, engaged fanbase and an addiction for pushing boundaries, the show delivers the perfect blend of humor and insight, all while keeping things fun, fresh, and sometimes a little bit illegal. 2024 © 2021 Audacy, Inc.

Local competitive eater Raina Huang aka @rainaiscrazy joined us in-studio today to take on a food challenge from Fat Sal's. She attempted to eat a french dip faster than any of us, and let's just say you have to see it to believe it. Check out today's YouTube livestream to see the video, or check it out on IG @kleinallyshow. We also tried to take on Fat Sal's famous Big Fat Fatty challenge, a massive 13 pound sandwich loaded with cheesesteak, pastrami, five cheeseburgers, chicken fingers, bacon, mozzarella sticks, fried eggs, onion rings, jalapeno poppers, fries, chili, marinara, and signature fat sauce. Could the entire morning show take it down? The answer is no. Jake went to the DMV yesterday to fulfill his punishment for failing the driving test, and because he went on his birthday he turned it into a party, complete with a birthday hat, balloons, a pizza and a full cooler of beer. How long did he make it before security approached? We went into the whole saga & there's a lot of debate on whether or not Jake needs to repeat the punishment. We also tried to determine who the laziest person on the show is during Most/Least (the answer is Klein) and Klein detailed his experience watching The Odyssey in IMAX, a movie he claims was cockblocked by fog.

The fleet sails south, and the crew of the Godsinger is running out of time to figure out where they stand. Kezza, Bebo, and Zin press Happy on his motives and get an answer they didn't expect. They broker a tentative alliance, hatch mutiny plans, and somehow end up singing a monster to sleep. Ahead lies Ragged Wood, uncharted and unforgiving. This episode is the key to understanding Rivenwake and what's coming for the reach. Disclaimer: This episode contains profanity and violence. Viewer discretion is advised.

Alden Gonzalez joins Buster Olney to discuss Hunter Greene's name being floated on the trade market, the abundance of starting pitching available, the real reason the Los Angeles Dodgers would want Tarik Skubal, why MLB would love Skubal on the Dodgers, the Angels finally realizing they're not close, and the Washington Nationals looking to extend Foster Griffin.

The Godsinger is wrecked. The Screw Loose hit hard and didn't hold back, and now a second ship, the Little Rascal, is bearing down on what's left. Kezza, Bebo, and Zin scramble for a new play. Their survival earns them an audience with the infamous Captain Aurek, commander of the Happy Eater, the galleon they were commissioned to find. What the crew learns aboard it reframes everything they thought they knew about the fate of the ship and the job they thought was almost over. Disclaimer: This episode contains profanity.

The Snarl lives up to its name: a maze of razor reef and sunken ships. The crew of the Godsinger has set their trap, the decoy is in place, and the Mesoreia pirates are sailing right to it. All Bebo, Kezza, and Zin have to do is hold their nerve. Easier said than done when Kezza won't stop reminding the crew he's not sticking around for long. With the trap set and the pirates closing in, it's the worst possible moment for the Godsinger crew to question whether they're even a real crew at all.

Kezza leads Bebo down into the thrash on what should have been a routine harvest of Crezzerin. Oily, black, and volatile, the mysterious goo that shapes the Wildsea doesn't forgive mistakes, and this wavewalk leaves both sailors changed. Meanwhile, aboard the God Singer, Zin takes the wheel as the crew pushes onward through the Mesoreia and toward the Snarl. The pirates they're hunting won't wait forever, and neither will their rivals, The Mass Romantics, closing in from behind. Every league counts.

Redcrown lies behind them. The Happy Eater, somewhere ahead. And the crew of the Godsinger is in a race to beat their rivals. The Mesoreia (Mezo-ryah) has a reputation for being a smooth stretch of verdancy, but the crew learns that reputation is not entirely true. Zin pulls a half-dead stranger from the waves, one who might know more about their quarry. Bebo spots something shiny, but there's no time to celebrate: something burns on the horizon, and the ship is moving straight for it! Caught between pursuit and disaster, it's Kezza who sees the angle nobody else could. Fortune favors fools. Good thing the Godsinger has three to spare.

What if your guests aren't choosing your competitors, they just forgot you exist?Ben Leventhal has spent 20 years building the infrastructure that connects diners to restaurants. He co-founded Eater in 2005, co-founded Resy in 2014, sold it to American Express in 2019, and is now the CEO and founder of Blackbird Labs, a loyalty and payments platform built to give independent restaurants the tools that large brands have had for years.In this conversation, we get into why 42% of restaurants aren't profitable and what role loyalty plays in fixing that, how frequency and access are more valuable than acquisition, and why the independent restaurant's biggest competitive disadvantage is being invisible to guests who already love them.If your regulars aren't showing up as often as they should, this episode is where to start. To learn more about Blackbird Labs, visit blackbird.xyz._________________________________________________________Free 5-Day Restaurant Marketing Masterclass – This is a live training where you'll learn the exact campaigns Josh has built and tested in real restaurants to attract new guests, increase visit frequency, and generate sales on demand.

In Redcrown, opportunity and danger go hand in hand. The crew of The Godsinger meet Lemo Saeve of The Timberflow Mercantile, who offers them a job with high stakes: pirates are strangling trade across the Mesoreia, and he needs a daring crew to put an end to it. Before they can take on the contract, the crew seeks atonement from the Kingsman of Redcrown. As creepy as the Kingsman are, if Bebo, Kezza and Zin want to survive what's coming, they'll need every edge they can muster. Their plan to catch the pirates? An alluring brain pearl. But in Redcrown, that's a dangerous mistake, and one that forces them to set sail sooner than planned. Disclaimer: This episode contains profanity, descriptions of disease, and drug use.

The Wildsea is an award-winning, post-fall fantasy tabletop roleplaying game set on a rampant ocean of living green. Players take on the role of wildsailors, carving paths through the verdancy aboard chainsaw-driven ships. The Happy Eater is the first campaign in Tales From The Wildsea, our new actual play series. In this introductory episode, you'll meet the crew of The Godsinger, a humble hauling vessel with ambitions of glory. They hold a chart to a secret treasure far to the north, but before they can chase after it, they'll need the right parts. Kezza, Bebo, and Zin, alongside their Tzelicrae captain Tzenko, set their sights on Redcrown, the oldest island in Rivenwake, in search of a job big enough to change their fortunes. You'll never expect where things lead in this gonzo adventure. This campaign is inspired by a year-long playtest of an original reach called Rivenwake, a jungle expanse defined by divergent tree currents, strange economies, and the greatest race on the verdancy. Rivenwake wouldn't exist without the support of Mayday's patrons who took part in our Patreon-exclusive campaign. Thank you to everyone who helped bring it to life. You can download a free PDF supplement that helps you follow along: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1F04-OvyIBDbeMsryzUDvqWQzdwwsgSb3/view?usp=sharing Our playthrough focuses on immersive roleplay and cinematic storytelling.

Twists are described by the player who rolled them. Disclaimer: This episode contains profanity and violence. Viewer discretion is advised.
