Françoise Girard is an activist and founder of Feminism Makes Us Smarter. We discuss Francois' journey from studying law in Montreal to becoming a feminist activist in New York. Francois shares experiences from her work with the Open Society Institute and the International Women's Health Coalition, elaborating on the critical role of grassroots feminist movements in effecting societal change. “Taking a feminist, intersectional lens helps us understand the world better. You can see trends before the regular commentators do.”The conversation touches on misconceptions about feminism, the interconnected nature of various justice movements, and the importance of long-term, flexible support from philanthropists. “If you want to track the health of a democracy, look at what's happening to women's rights. They're the early warning system.”Francois also highlights the power of storytelling in activism and reveals her creative process behind her writing. “When we walk out of a play, we're more in touch with our feelings. That's how movements grow — through stories and emotion, not just policy.”“Each of us won't solve it all, but if we all do something — even something small — that's how things move. That's what gives me hope.”The discussion concludes with insights into successful campaigns, including the decriminalization of abortion in Ireland, and practical advice for individual contributions to social change.Links and 00:18 Francois' Journey to Activism01:50 Working with International Organizations03:39 Founding Feminism Makes Us Smarter04:54 Understanding Modern Feminism05:41 Intersectionality and Feminism10:35 Theories of Change in Activism22:54 Challenges and Learnings in Feminist Movements31:45 The Role of Art and Opera in Life32:17 The Power of Storytelling36:14 Creative Processes and Writing41:51 Successful Movements and Campaigns49:41 Current Projects and Future Plans54:38 Final Thoughts and Advice

It is not every day that South African rock music royalty spends time with me in the SDP Show studio, especially when it is 8-time SAMA winner, Francois van Coke, it is extra special. A legend of the music industry, who after almost two decades making hit Afrikaans songs, is still fired up to make music, perform with his friends and inspire young aspiring musicians to keep grinding away at their passion. van Coke explains why he is now sober and believes he will knockout fellow musician Robbie Wessels when they square off in the boxing ring later this year.

There's a moment in Mel Brooks' “History of the World Part 1” where we're told that shortly after the first artists came the first art critics…..I'll leave you to determine what happens…. The music world is certainly not short of people with opinions in regards to others' ability to perform and provide nuance to the work they present for us as music lovers to listen to. In the classical world, interpretation of the canon of baroque, classical, romantic and modernist music can be a mystery to some of us who are not classically trained musicians.  There's no shortage of classical soloists who've captured the wider public's imagination, yet have their critics as well. Welcome to episode 128 of See Hear Podcast. Glenn Gould is regarded as one of the great pianists of the 20th century, known in particular for his love of and heavy focus on the composition of J.S. Bach. However, he wasn't unanimously revered. Pianist Alfred Brendel was vocally not a fan. Even Leonard Bernstein who did love Gould's approach  covered himself before a TV broadcast of a Brahms piano concerto by saying Gould's approach was not going to be for everybody. Therein lies the heart of the matter – when you depart from an accepted orthodox style of playing of the canon, you're going to upset people. Glenn Gould upset some people. BUT….the reason he is still being talked about was for what he DID, not what he didn't do. He's most famous for his first and last released recordings, Bach's Goldberg Variations (1955 and 1981). Even there his recordings are wildly different, and the latter upset some who championed the earlier recording. He's also remembered for his intellect and could discuss may other issues outside of music – something he did on radio and TV specials. In 1993, film director Francois Girard released a brilliant biopic / documentary called “Thirty Two Short Films About Glenn Gould”. Like its subject, the film takes a wildly different approach from the accepted norm of musician biopic. As the name implies, the film comprises of 32 shorts featuring narratives, interviews, performance and experimentation that provide a strong sense of Gould's character. There is a 3 act structure, but not in the usual way that you get in a conventional musician biography. June 2025 sees the reissue of the film by Criterion, and I was thrilled to welcome Francois to the podcast to talk about this film and Gould in general. Unfortunately, we couldn't coordinate the timing to have Tim or Kerry available, but I still had a fascinating conversation with Francois that I hope you find illuminating.

Today we're delighted to bring you another 'Legends Roundtable Restaurateur Special' where we're joined by 3 of the greatest restaurateur's in the country in Lady Ruth Rogers (River Cafe), Jeremy King OBE (Arlington, The Park & Simpsons) & Francois O'Neill (Maison/Cafe Francois) to unleash their wisdom and share their secrets to success, for an honest, warm, and often hilarious conversation about what it takes to survive and evolve in the restaurant industry.Over the course of this round table, our guests reflect on the seismic shifts they've witnessed in the restaurant industry; from changing customer habits to the new responsibilities of creating inclusive and sustainable workplaces. Jeremy shares why humour and generosity matter more than rules, the great lesson he learnt from Nick Jones, why Corporates are ruining restaurants, the mistake of treating your customers as profit, why so many restaurants are stupidly chasing cheaper produce, why you should never get rid of a waiter, how a £2.25 bowl of soup can be as valuable as a second bottle of champagne, and his firm stance against dynamic pricing creep. Ruthie opens up about building trust and fairness in the kitchen, the importance of rigour behind the joy, and how the River Café evolved to embrace a diverse, respectful, modern workplace, plus her great life lessons learnt over the years and flirts with a possible new River Cafe this year? Francois talks about learning to lead through energy and example, the quiet wins of helping young staff grow, and why patience and perseverance matter more than ever when building something lasting.It's a heartfelt look at a profession that can be punishing, beautiful, addictive, and transformative - often all at once.

It's our annual Kentucky Derby Seminar!Louie is joined this year by Kali Francois, from the Maryland Jockey Club and KY Downs.They go through the major stakes races on Oaks Friday and Derby Saturday.

Francois-Marie Banier is facing an uphill battle in French courts when he learns he's being sued by Liliane Bettencourt's only daughter, Francoise. When the French media learn of the accusations of financial abuse against the L'Oreal heiress, he becomes the butt of a joke, twisting the L'Oreal slogan, “Because he's worth it.” But thanks to a nosy butler and 20 hours of secret recordings, a new scandal overtakes Francois-Marie's melodrama: Mediapart, a scrappy, new newspaper, gets a hold of the recordings and accusations fly, this time sweeping up Nicholas Sarkozy and a web of alleged illegal campaign donations, tax shelters, and new villains in the massive tangle that is the Bettencourt Affair.

Francois-Marie Banier overcame indifferent parents to reach the heights of the Parisian art scene. His novels, plays, and photography gained him famous friends like Salvadore Dali, Princess Caroline of Monaco, and Johnny Depp. But he's also known as a striving social climber who seeks the affections of older French women to bankroll his artistic projects. When he's hired to photograph L'Oréal heiress Liliane Bettencourt, at one point the richest woman in the world, they hit it off instantly. As they grow closer, Liliane starts lavishing Francois-Marie with gifts: jewelry, real estate, and lucrative consulting contracts. But when she makes him the beneficiary of a life insurance policy, Liliane's daughter takes notice. She thinks Francois-Marie is taking advantage of the aging, possibly demented heiress. Liliane's daughter, and household staff, start monitoring Francois-Marie's every move. Soon, this palace intrigue will go far beyond France's wealthiest family, leading to lawsuits, secret recordings, and shocking revelations that will captivate all of France.
