On the sixty-eighth episode of All the Film Things, I had the pleasure of interviewing Dave Karger! Dave Karger is an award-winning TCM host/ film expert/ author who's been an integral and beloved figure in the film industry for over 30 years now. Helmed by The Wrap as “this generation's mass media ambassador”, Dave has built an impressive career seamlessly moving from print to television. In his 17 years writing for Entertainment Weekly, Dave wrote over 50 cover stories whilst covering the Oscars, which earned him the clever title of “Oscarologist”. During this time he became the resident Oscars expert on the TODAY Show and has now appeared on the morning show more than 200 times. Dave was awarded the Publicist Guild Award in 2015 for his stellar work as an entertainment journalist. In 2018, Dave became a full time host on Turner Classic Movies (TCM) where he can regularly be found introducing classic films, especially every Saturday at 12 pm EST when he hosts “Musical Matinees”. His excellent first book, 50 Oscar Nights: Iconic Stars & Filmmakers on their Career- Defining Wins was published in 2024 and he's now releasing his second!Dave's second book, 50 Movie Nights: Contemporary Stars on Their Favorite Classic Films, was published by Running Press last week on September 15. The book features new interviews from 50 beloved stars and public figures from Scarlett Johansson to Paul Rudd to Bob Mackie sharing a classic film that has great personal resonance. It's a fantastic and enjoyable read so you absolutely should buy your copy now wherever books are sold, including Barnes & Noble and Amazon.  This is Dave's first appearance on ATFT! I am a longtime regular viewer of TCM, the best channel on television if you ask me, so I often watch and learn from Dave's introductions and conclusions of classic films on. When the news broke about Dave's new book, I was instantly looking forward to reading it because the concept was intriguing and one that I have taken to heart through this podcast for over four years now. No matter the format, each episode is connected through a shared passion of cinema and it's fascinating to learn about the films loved by the stars we admire. I greatly appreciate Dave for taking the time for this interview and Seta Zink for setting this interview up and allowing me this opportunity that I have long been striving for. This episode was recorded on September 2, 2026. In this episode, Dave shares how his admiration for one of his longtime favorite films Children of a Lesser God (1986) has grown through rewatches, how a few paparazzi photos led to him briefly being Angelina Jolie's “mystery man”, and what makes his new book 50 Movie Nights stand out from other TCM books. Dave also fondly reminisces about his nearly two decades writing for Entertainment Weekly and teases his third book. All this and much more on the latest episode of All the Film Things!Dave's photo credit: John NowakMusic credit: Background music created and used with permission by the Copyright Free Music - Background Music for Videos channel on YouTube.

Survivor 51 brings 21 brand-new castaways to the island, and Frank and Shirley go through every one of them before the first vote is cast. An AEW wrestler with three college degrees, a game designer raised on Blood on the Clocktower, a My Little Pony voice actor, and an OB-GYN resident from Pompano Beach all land on their early radar.Working alphabetically through Entertainment Weekly's bios and each castaway's intro video, the Outlast crew flags who's hiding their real job (a criminal defense attorney and a Grey's Anatomy actor among them), why therapists have a habit of going home early, and which big personalities could wear on a tribe by day three. Frank locks in Sharonda Cox, Danny "Kilby" Kilby, and Brady Booker as his top three, Shirley sticks with Brady, and the full favorites draft comes next episode.Timestamps and Topics00:00 Intro and First Impressions of the Survivor 51 Cast01:17 Aaliyah, Alexis, Thien An, and Ana15:31 Jelly, Brady, Carter, and Cristian30:09 Kilby, Devin, Eric, and Jenna43:28 Kristin, Lewis, Linnea, and Maggie59:37 Mike, Ori, Patt, and Rob1:16:08 Sharonda and Frank's Top Three Picks1:20:33 Early Favorites and Wrap-UpKey TakeawaysBrady Booker wants his tribe to write him off as a big dumb jock, and Frank thinks that's exactly why he could be the most overlooked threat of the season. He brings Jonathan-level challenge strength plus a pre-law brain he plans to keep quiet.Kilby's experience with Blood on the Clocktower, a social deduction game Frank calls Survivor in board game form, and a fan-made Survivor game he played with Rick Devens give him a real strategic head start.Several castaways plan to hide their jobs. Alexis Levine will pose as a treatment center care coordinator instead of a defense attorney, and Devin Way is keeping his acting career a secret.Eric Macksoud is a mental health counselor, and Frank points out that therapists historically go home early. His competitive swimming background and Muay Thai training could help him buck that trend.Lewis Kelly bills himself as a farmer, but Frank knows him as a TikTok creator who plays to the camera, making him the season's biggest wild card.The hosts won't use Facebook as a source this season after too many false rumors. Only posts shared by the players themselves make the show.Quotes"I really think Brady is maybe the biggest threat on this table. I think he's going to be overlooked." (Frank)"The ones that really study the show just do so well." (Shirley)"You're going to Survivor. It's 30 days of no showers." (Frank, on Brady listing bad hygiene as a pet peeve)"Everyone looks at me and probably thinks, big dumb jock. And you know what? I hope so."

We have a lot of questions about the romance, and a lot more about the world of Doug Liman's 2005 action comedy sensation. Join in as we discuss the Brad Pitt / Angelina Jolie affair, the movie's gender politics, and private assassination companies. Plus: How did the Smiths build separate weapons vaults without noticing one another's? Why is the first half of this movie so dull? Is Keith David just running Charlie's Angels? And, once again, how do private assassin companies even work? Make sure to rate, review, and subscribe!

Before The Pitt or Grey's Anatomy there was ER, the hit 15-season drama that paved the way for the media drama phenomenon. In ER: The Oral History (pub date: Sept 15) NY Times bestselling author Lynette Rice deep dives into the making of the show. The book draws on archival interviews and new conversations with over 60 people including John Wells and Noah Wyle (showrunner and star of the original ER, respectively, and executive producers of HBO's The Pitt), Eriq LaSalle, Laura Innes, Ming-Na Wen, Paul McCrane, Rick Rossovich, and Goran Visnjic.Lynette Rice is the New York Times bestselling author of How to Save a Life: The Inside Story of Grey's Anatomy, and covered ER while working at Entertainment Weekly and The Hollywood Reporter A new Kirkus review raves ER is "an entertaining history of an iconic series. Warning: This inside look at a medical show might cause dopamine rushes"MORE ABOUT THE BOOKLong before Jurassic Park was the embryo of an idea in Michael Crichton's mind, there was ER. A medical student who dreamt of a career in Hollywood, Crichton did what any aspiring writer would: he created a script based on time working in a high-octane hospital emergency department. Of course, nobody wanted it. It wasn't until Crichton turned his attention to dinosaurs and his 1990 novel Jurassic Park became a megahit - and a mega-movie franchise - that Steven Spielberg's camp asked the former doctor what other ideas he was kicking around. Producers weren't interested in Crichton's dream to make a hospital film. But, they were looking for new television series programming and thought there might be something even bigger in the concept than a movie. And, thus, ER was born.Despite some resistance from NBC's top brass, the Warner Bros. Television drama became an overnight hit with its high-adrenaline storylines, realistic dialogue, and bona fide (not to mention hot) stars in the making in the cast, including Julianna Margulies, Noah Wyle, Anthony Edwards, and an actor who didn't end up amounting to much named George Clooney. ER premiered opposite the popular CBS drama Chicago Hope and quickly cannibalized its competition. It would, in its heyday, average 35 million viewers per season (in an era before streaming and DVRs), and was either the number one or number two most watched show on television for six years.Over the course of its fifteen years on air ER would feature weddings, births, break-ups, death, and medical conundrums in just about every form you could imagine. Although stars like Clooney and Margulies would come and go, ER introduced (or, in some cases, re-introduced) the world to actors like Maura Tierney, Mekhi Phifer, Linda Cardellini, Ming-Na Wen, and Scott Grimes. It won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Drama Series and was nominated a staggering 124 times. As popular as is now, there would be no Grey Sloan Memorial without County General.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-like-it-s-live--4113802/support.

Beth Pinsker, financial planning columnist at MarketWatch, CFP® professional, and author of My Mother's Money: A Guide to Financial Caregiving, joins The Power of the Ask to talk about advocating for yourself, preparing families for financial caregiving, and why sometimes the most important ask is the one you have to make more than once. Drawing from both her career in journalism and her personal experience caring for her mother, Beth shares how asking for opportunities helped shape her professional journey and how navigating financial caregiving revealed just how difficult it can be to put even the best-laid plans into practice. Beth, Lisa, and Precious cover: Asking for the Opportunity: Beth shares how asking her employer for educational reimbursement to pursue her CFP® certification helped her expand her expertise and take an important step forward in her career. Preparing Before a Crisis: From powers of attorney to healthcare proxies and estate documents, Beth explains why families shouldn't wait for an emergency to begin planning. Having the right documents in place early can make an already difficult situation easier to navigate. Starting the Caregiving Conversation: Talking with a parent about money and aging can feel uncomfortable. Beth shares why asking rather than telling, and approaching the conversation as a shared responsibility, can help preserve a parent's independence while opening the door to important planning. Protecting Your Own Financial Future: Women often become the default caregivers in their families, sometimes at a high personal and financial cost. Beth discusses why caregivers need to be thoughtful about protecting their own retirement savings, income, benefits, and long-term financial security. Managing Someone Else's Money with Their Values in Mind: Beth reflects on one of the central lessons from My Mother's Money: when you're managing finances for someone you love, the money remains theirs. Your role is to make decisions for their benefit and in line with their values. Making the Ask That Changes What's Possible: Beth opens up about the personal decision that gave her more time and self-determination to pursue her own goals, including earning her CFP® certification and building the next chapter of her career. Being Relentlessly Tenacious: For Beth, the power of the ask means being informed, being kind, and being willing to ask again. Whether you're dealing with doctors, banks, insurance companies, Medicare, or another complicated system, persistence can be essential to getting the help you or your family needs. Important Links:Savvy Ladies (https://www.savvyladies.org/)Precious Williams' LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/precious-l-williams/)Lisa Zeiderman's LinkedIn (https://www.linkedin.com/in/lisazeiderman/Beth Pinsker (https://www.linkedin.com/in/bpinsker/)Important Links for Beth:Beth's Website: (https://bethpinsker.com/)About Beth Pinsker:Beth Pinsker is a financial-planning columnist at MarketWatch.

On this episode of Madison BookBeat, host Sara Batkie talks with author Chloe Benjamin about her new novel, Understory. At the end of the world, biologist Laurel Salter is hiding from everything she's ever known. For ten hours a day, six days per week, she works as a dishwasher at McMurdo Station, an isolated research base in Antarctica. She tells no one that before she arrived, she was a renowned young scientist with a promising career, a husband, and a family. But even in this remote outpost, Laurel can't outrun her past. When a strange light appears across the ice—and draws a group of physicists to McMurdo—her former husband, Eli, won't be far behind. Laurel is captivated by the Arc: its surreal glow; the way it seems almost alive. And though Eli is reluctant to test her wildest theory, Laurel is convinced that the Arc leads down a rabbit hole, and into a world they can barely imagine. Can she persuade him to risk everything to fix the burden that hangs between them—to turn back the clock and live their story a second time? The book is now available from Putnam.

rWotD Episode 3404: The Searchers Welcome to random Wiki of the Day, your journey through Wikipedia's vast and varied content, one random article at a time.The random article for Saturday, 29 August 2026, is The Searchers.The Searchers is a 1956 American epic Western film directed by John Ford and written by Frank S. Nugent, based on the 1954 novel by Alan Le May. It is set during the Texas–Indian wars and stars John Wayne as a middle-aged Civil War veteran who, accompanied by his adopted, partially Native American nephew (Jeffrey Hunter), spends years looking for his abducted niece (Natalie Wood). It was shot in VistaVision on Eastmancolor negative with processing and prints by Technicolor.The film was a critical and commercial success. Since its release, it has come to be considered a masterpiece and one of the greatest and most influential films ever made. It was named the greatest American Western by the American Film Institute in 2008, and it placed 12th on the same organization's 2007 list of the 100 greatest American movies of all time. Entertainment Weekly also named it the best Western. The British Film Institute's Sight and Sound magazine ranked it as the seventh-best film of all time based on a 2012 international survey of film critics and in 2008, the French magazine Cahiers du Cinéma ranked The Searchers number 10 in their list of the 100 best films ever made.In 1989, The Searchers was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the United States Library of Congress and was selected for preservation in its National Film Registry; it was one of the first 25 films selected for the registry.The Searchers was perhaps the first major film to have an intentionally filmed documentary about the making of it, requested by John Ford.

John Searles joins Book Gang to dish on his new novel Single Girls, inspired by Helen Gurley Brown and the women who transformed Cosmopolitan magazine. We welcome John Searles to Book Gang for a heartfelt conversation about his historical fiction novel, Single Girls—a story inspired by Helen Gurley Brown and the trailblazing women behind Cosmopolitan. Drawing on his years as an editor at Cosmo and his deep admiration for Helen, he brings readers behind the scenes of the magazine's revolutionary 1960s makeover. Together, we explore the mix of nostalgia, ambition, and feminist history that animates this witty, unconventional story of women's work and self-discovery. Single Girls follows Helen Gurley Brown as she assembles a team of unforgettable women to take on a skeptical publishing world, reshaping Cosmo and, in the process, the lives of millions of single women. Through playful structure, shifting points of view, and the signature Cosmo quizzes and glossaries, John immerses readers in the vibrant, sometimes chaotic world of magazine publishing and female empowerment. In this lively episode, we discuss:

In the words of the Los Angeles Times, “A new book by (Patrick Radden) Keefe means drop everything and close the blinds; you'll be turning pages for hours.” Keefe is an award-winning investigative journalist, a staff writer at the New Yorker, the creator of a popular podcast, and the author of six books, including the bestsellers Rogues, Empire of Pain, and Say Nothing. “When I go out looking for a good story,” says Keefe, “I almost never find one. Instead, the really good ones tend to fall in my lap.” Say Nothing was prompted by reading an obituary. A wild-seeming rumor about the 90's heavy metal band The Scorpions led to the podcast Wind of Change, a sweeping tale of government secrets, Soviet spies, propaganda, and 90's power ballads. To call his research “meticulous” is an understatement. Keefe's book, Snakehead, required over 300 interviews to complete. Say Nothing found him speaking to thousands of sources. While writing about the opioid epidemic in EMPIRE OF PAIN, Keefe was blocked from speaking to the Sackler family, so instead, he amassed thousands of correspondences from personal emails to Bar Mitzvah announcements. Though Keefe's doggedness recalls the detective stories that inspired him early on, he is perhaps more hopeful than hardboiled. By approaching those forces that appear too vast to unravel, he proves that even institutions and systems that seem unassailable can, in fact, be broken down and examined—one interview, one receipt, one wedding invitation at a time. Like all the great whodunnits, his books contain breathtaking plot twists. Though he has, on at least one occasion, solved a murder mystery, Keefe is less interested in pointing to a perpetrator and more interested in holding up a mirror. The question at the heart of his work is one that pertains to everyone: What does it mean to be human? His newest book, London Falling, is an investigation into the mysterious death of 19-year-old Zach Brettler and its connection to both London's criminal underworld and its elite circles. The author Katherine Rundell says, “Nobody writes like Patrick Radden Keefe; nobody makes achieving something so powerfully complex and difficult look so easy. It's a form of intellectual generosity and, I think, a form of genius.” Patrick Radden Keefe is a staff writer at The New Yorker and the author of the New York Times bestsellers Rogues, Empire of Pain, and Say Nothing, which received the National Book Critics Circle Award for Nonfiction, was selected as one of the ten best books of 2019 by The New York Times Book Review, The Washington Post, Chicago Tribune and The Wall Street Journal, and was named one of the top ten nonfiction books of the decade by Entertainment Weekly. His previous books are The Snakehead and Chatter. His work has been recognized with a Guggenheim Fellowship, the National Magazine Award for Feature Writing and the Orwell Prize for Political Writing. He is also the creator and host of the eight-part podcast Wind of Change.

“Our language is valuable, and we've gotta hold on to that. That's the most human thing we have.” — Jeff Jarvis Last week, to celebrate episode 3,000 of the show, the New York Times' Sam Roberts articulated the art of the obituary. Borrowing from Citizen Kane, he described it as the Rosebud method. Obits are all about life (death only figuring as an afterthought), Roberts explained, so hunt for the moment which defines that life. Today's show is a kind of obituary of that type. Only it's about the life of a machine and the mass media that emerged in its wake. In Hot Type, tech historian Jeff Jarvis introduces us to the magnificent late 19th century machine that not only gave birth to industrial mass media, but also bankrupted Mark Twain. It's the history of the Linotype, the machine invented by Ottmar Mergenthaler that ended four hundred and fifty years of setting type, as Jarvis puts it, “one damn letter at a time.” It's an extraordinary story. Before the Linotype, American daily newspapers were limited to a 4,000 circulation. First installed at the New York Tribune on July 3, 1886, the Linotype scaled print, thereby enabling the age of mass circulation newspapers, magazines and books. It appeared so infinitely scalable that Mark Twain poured his entire family fortune into its doomed rival, the Paige Compositor. He lost all his money, of course, making it his Rosebud moment — Citizen Twain, so to speak. But for the rest of us, Mergenthaler's magnificent type machine was so hot that it revolutionized 20th century culture in the same way that AI is now revolutionizing 21st century reading and writing. The art of obituary. A description of life, not death. Five Takeaways •       One Damn Letter at a Time. For four hundred and fifty years after Gutenberg, virtually every word in every language was set by hand, one letter at a time — which is why the average American daily circulated just 4,000 copies, “a small Substack newsletter.” Steam-powered presses, cheap wood-pulp paper, stereotyping, and the telegraph had solved every other bottleneck; the typesetter with a composing stick was the last. More than 300 typesetting machines failed before Ottmar Mergenthaler — a Baltimore watchmaker who knew nothing about printing, prodded by James O. Clephane, once a stenographer in Lincoln's cabinet — had the eureka: stop imitating hand-setting and mold entire lines of type at once. Installed at the New York Tribune on July 3, 1886, the Linotype made type fresh for every edition, let print catch up with the telegraph, and gave birth to mass media.•       The Union That Didn't Smash the Machine. The book's great labor surprise: the typesetters didn't fight the typesetting machine. Having studied the Luddites' defeat, the International Typographical Union sent spies into the Tribune's composing room, concluded the Linotype was inevitable, and demanded to operate it — with Mergenthaler's blessing. Thirty thousand jobs disappeared, returned to full strength within five years, and grew for seventy-five more, making the ITU America's most powerful union. Then came wave two — paper tape, computers that could hyphenate and justify, cold type, PostScript — and this time the union fought: six of nine New York papers died in the strikes, Bert Powers traded automation for lifetime job guarantees (the last holder retired from the New York Times around 2012), and Murdoch's secret Wapping plant ended Fleet Street — a century, almost exactly, after machine number one. The two lessons: take charge of the technology if you can; if it will replace you outright, find something else to do.•       The Machine That Drove Twain Mad. Mark Twain wanted to be filthy rich and stop writing — so he poured his fortune, and his wife's family coal fortune, into the Paige Compositor, the Linotype's brilliant, doomed rival: only two ever built, the sole survivor sitting in the basement of Hartford's Mark Twain House looking like “a railroad with nowhere to go.” Bankruptcy followed — a far deeper shame in the nineteenth century — and Twain repaid every debtor. Jarvis reads the scars in the fiction: A Connecticut Yankee in King Arthur's Court ends with technology destroying technology in an Armageddon of Camelot; the unfinished No. 44, The Mysterious Stranger conjures strange beasts endlessly duplicating pages — scale itself as nightmare. He lost all his money, of course — his Rosebud moment, as Andrew puts it, borrowing from Sam Roberts' art of the obituary on episode 3,000. The machine robbed Twain not of his humor, Jarvis concludes, but of his love of technology. The biopic pitch: Citizen Twain.•       From One Gilded Age to Another. The Linotype era bridges Twain's Gilded Age — tycoons of steam, steel, and wire — to ours, with its barons of bits and AI. Whitelaw Reid, the book's villain and the first capitalist media mogul, used the machine against his own union and predicted newspapers would never exceed eight pages (completely wrong); Frank Munsey invented the attention economy at a dime a copy — content as honey, audience as product, a model that ruled mass media and infected the Internet. Today's moguls fare no better in Jarvis's telling: Altman selling “vending machines for intelligence” that actually dispense compute, Amodei “the paragon of safety” with a skewed definition of it, all chasing the Valhalla of AGI, “pure BS.” His hope: open-weight models to check the frontier companies. His warning against banning them: guardrails are a fool's errand — the printing press was a general machine, and nobody could tell Gutenberg to keep it from Martin Luther.•       Words Matter, Damn It. The through-line from Jarvis's blog post to the book: language is the most human thing we have. His objection to Anthropic's watermark isn't Keith Teare's shame argument — it's that a scheme treating “overcast” and “gray” as interchangeable declares all language fungible, “a cultural statement damaging to our craft.” His own AI practice is disclosed down to a confessional footnote in Hot Type for a single borrowed phrase: Gemini may pull facts (“don't write for me”), but what you express must be what you want to express. The typewriter shaped Nietzsche and made Hemingway; the newsroom computer made Jarvis an editor more than a writer; Quark made everyone typesetters — “in the end, it was all still me.” Against Kirschenbaum's gray goo, he holds up Pope Leo (work brings dignity; not a Luddite) and poetry itself. Hot type revolutionized 20th century culture the way AI is now revolutionizing 21st century reading and writing. The art of obituary: a description of life, not death — and the most human thing we have is the words. About the Guest Jeff Jarvis is the Emeritus Leonard Tow Professor of Journalism Innovation at CUNY's Craig Newmark Graduate School of Journalism.

Nathan Fillion is bringing Guy Gardner to DC Studios' animated Mister Miracle, and showrunner Tom King says the character's over the top energy is exactly why it works. It is also one more piece of proof that James Gunn's promise about the DCU's animated and live action sides being one universe is holding.Fillion is the first voice actor officially announced for Mister Miracle, the adult animated series based on the Eisner winning 12 issue run by Tom King and Mitch Gerads. This is not Fillion's first trip through the Green Lantern Corps either, since he spent years voicing Hal Jordan across DC's animated films before Gunn cast him as Guy in live action. King, who serves as showrunner and executive producer on the series, told Entertainment Weekly that Guy's tone lands even in a very different show because that is simply who the character is. The bigger story is continuity. Rick Flag Sr. was voiced by Frank Grillo in Creature Commandos and played by Frank Grillo in Superman, and now Guy Gardner is jumping mediums with the same actor attached. Mister Miracle follows Scott Free and Big Barda trying to live quietly on Earth while Darkseid and the war between Apokolips and New Genesis close in, and King has already teased that the Darkseid casting will surprise people.

SO MUCH SNARK in the pages of a 31-year old special edition issue of Entertainment Weekly focusing on the Star Trek franchise up to that point. Did the writers actually like the shows or did they hold them with a degree of ironic detachment to maintain some hipster credit? Bryan and Kristen complete their thumb-through of what wound up being a pretty formative bit of work for young Bryan. Do these TOS rankings hold up? Make sense? Does the wisdom of this crowd align with the Original Series viewers from the 25th anniversary, who put together a Viewers' Choice Marathon?

Welcome to The B-Side! Here we talk about movie directors! Not the movies that made them famous or kept them famous, but the ones that they made in between.  Today we discuss perhaps the most popular filmmaker alive today: Christopher Nolan! Our B-Sides are Insomnia, The Prestige, and Tenet. Our guest is the legendary Blake Howard of One Heat Minute Productions.  We chat about late-period Al Pacino, the unexpected success of Batman Begins, and those other magician movies that came out around The Prestige in 2006. There's appreciation for the unique Nolan commentary for Insomnia and that Entertainment Weekly cover for Batman Begins, and the great character actor Martin Donovan.

Allison Jaslow grew up in a working class, union household and much of her early days were defined by her father's alcoholism that ultimately claimed his life when she was a teenager. Around the time of his death she also felt a call to service, and while visiting a military base on a recruiting trip she was inspired to first serve her country in uniform in the United States Army. Alllison ended up earning an ROTC scholarship to college and joined active duty during the height of the Iraq and Afghanistan Wars in 2004. She served two combat tours in Iraq, including a deployment during the surge, and achieved the rank of Captain. She served honorably and earned a Bronze Star Medal for service, and also earned an Army Commendation Medal with a Bronze Oak Leaf Cluster before leaving active duty. She then continued her service on Capitol Hill, in the White House and in leadership roles in the nation's leading post-9/11 veterans advocacy organization. In her role as CEO of Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America, she drove conversations about the issues that the nation's newest generation of war veterans care about, including the need to modernize the VA, put an end to the veteran suicide crisis, and for Congress to reclaim it's War Powers' authority. Now, Allison is running for Congress so that everyday North Carolinians have a voice they can count on in Congress to represent them in Washington. She knows what it's like to live on the edge and is ready to fight to help make life a little bit easier for families like hers that continue to be squeezed by the cost of basic needs like healthcare and housing.

Typography is often treated as a detail — the thing you finalize after the real design decisions are made. But for our next guest, it's closer to the foundation everything else rests on. He's spent two decades in editorial design at some of the most iconic American magazines — Men's Health, Esquire, Popular Science, Entertainment Weekly — and he's now the Creative Director of Fast Company, where he recently led a redesign that does something pretty unusual: the magazine gets a completely new typeface every single issue. His name is Mike Schnaidt. This is a preview of a premium episode. Visit our Substack to listen to the entire interview: https://designbetterpodcast.com/p/mike-schnaidt Mike's also a professor, a runner, and the author of Creative Endurance — a book that maps the principles of physical and mental endurance onto the creative life. It's built around 56 rules for sustaining a career in design, drawn from interviews with ultra-marathoners, astronauts, and designers who've pushed way past the limits most people set for themselves. And as you'll hear, he's already working on book two. We chat about the nuts and bolts of typography (utilitarian vs. expressive, food metaphors, Fast Company's per-issue typeface system) to the philosophy underneath it all (design as service, authorship, hospitality). We dig into his book Creative Endurance — 56 rules for sustaining a creative career drawn from athletes, astronauts, and designers — and his counterintuitive take on burnout: the cure isn't rest, it's picking up something creatively different. Bio Mike Schnaidt is the creative director of Fast Company. He's also the host of the Webby-awarded video series It's All in the Typeface, a professor of illustration at the School of Visual Arts, and the former president of the Society of Publication Designers. One of the coolest moments in his life was when Paula Scher said his first book, Creative Endurance, was “beautifully designed.” His second book arrives in 2028. *** Premium Episodes on Design Better This is a premium episode on Design Better.
