Podcasts about GQ

This is a very special episode in that is constituted of a series of deep dives into several different subjects in which I have a rabid interest. Hopefully you do as well. If not, you're in for a long-ass listen. Unless you're new to the show, you know of my deep and abiding interest in all things David Lynch. So, it was a pleasant surprise when I learned of the book A Place Both Wonderful and Strange: The Extraordinary Untold History of Twin Peaks by Scott Meslow. Scott has written for such publications as GQ, New York and The Atlantic. And his book is far too in depth and accomplished to have been thrown together as a quickie cash-in following Mr. Lynch's passing. Quite, as it turns out, the contrary. Scott had pitched his book years before and was well into the writing of it at the time of his passing. And he talks about how the attitudes of his interview subjects changed from before and then after that event. And the book itself if great. You don't have to be a Twin Peaks nut to enjoy it, as it's also a story of how an idea becomes a show, what happens when that show, which was always greater than the sum of its parts becomes a cultural touchstone, etc. etc. etc., Scott Meslow, the author of A Place Both Wonderful and Strange: The Extraordinary Untold History of Twin Peaks is here. As of that weren't enough, Thom Shubilla, who has been here before to discuss his books Prime Time 1966 – 1967: The Study Of Television's First All Color Season, and James Bond And The Sixties Spy Craze. He is also one of the producers of the documentary Drew Friedman Vermeer Of The Borscht Belt, and has another in series of "I Know Dana Gould Will Buy It So That's One Sale Right There" books, King Kong Vs. Godzilla: The Most Colossal Conflict The Screen Has Ever Known. It's ostensibly about the making of the 1962 Toho Studios love letter to me known as King Kong Vs, Godzilla, but it's also just a fantastic story of show biz and deal making. It has everything: guys selling properties they think they have the rights to but don't, guys selling properties they know they don't have the rights to but selling them anyway, and yes… murder. True Tales From Weirdsville takes a deep dive into the life career and bizarre death of 1950's scream queen. She made some weird ass movies, Attack Of The Fifty Foot Woman, Attack of The Giant Leeches, but what she did on screen could not compare to what happened in real life and that is a promise. The late, lovely and talented Yvette Vickers. For details and links to my upcoming appearances, please go to the live shows page at DanaGould.com. And now, it's on, to our filthy business.

"There's so much content and so many opportunities for storytelling. If one thing doesn't work, we'll try again, pivot to the next thing, or expand!" In this episode, WomenHeard host Georgia Galanoudis speaks with PR powerhouse Paula Ngon. Paula established her communications expertise in a wide range of well-known brands: People, Vanity Fair, GQ and GQ Sports, as well as The Estée Lauder Companies. After attending the Super Bowl live, she loved the sheer joy of the fandom and was intrigued by working in the sports industry. At the NFL, she puts on some of the biggest events in the world and intersects her experience and passion for media, events, entertainment and public re​lations.Recognized as a Forbes 30 Under 30 honoree, an ADCOLOR Future Honoree and a Black Pioneer by PR News, Paula drives cultural moments that reach millions. Listen to this episode for the importance of hands-on learning and finding balance after facing a serious health challenge. 

"A book is not a long magazine article, and it took me a long, long time to understand that, to even understand what it means. It's something that you can say, but you have to live it to understand it," says Tom Junod, author of the memoir In the Days of My Youth I Was Told What It Means to be a Man.Wow, look who visited the digital CNF Pod HQ: It's Tom Junod.Listen, I don't have all day to sing the praises and list the back-of-the-baseball-card details of Tom's illustrious career writing for GQ, Esquire, and ESPN. He's a two-time winner of the National Magazine Award. His piece in Esquire titled The Falling Man is a re-read for many of us around 9/11 and it takes a meditative and reportorial look at the man who had not chosen his fate, but appeared to embrace it. Tom wrote the iconic profile of Fred Rodgers that was turned a movie starring Tom Hanks. In many ways, so much of Tom's work is writing about father figures, which of course brings us to the ultimate: In The Days of My Youth I Was Told What It Means to be a Man, a memoir about his father. It's published by Double Day.Tom can be found on Instagram @tom_junod and on the Facebooks and stuff. Google his work to read wildly ambitious stories from that particularly crazy era that was pre-internet magazine culture. Dude was in a watch ad.In this episode: We talk about that watch ad The Mountain of writing a book The difference between writing a magazine story vs. a book The no nut-graf philosophy Saying yes Telling his life story from the work he does about other lives The one arrow in his quiver How there should be principles in journalism, but no rules Writing beginnings that hint at the ending Writing before referring to notes And combining love and truth telling in his memoirReally an amazing conversation.Promotional support: The 2026 Power of Narrative Conference.

On today's show, host Esty Dinur is in conversation with writer Hooman Majd about the escalating Israel-US war on Iran and how these countries are expanding the war to Lebanon, the Gulf States, and beyond. Majd describes the constant barrage of bombs on Tehran, how Israel is displacing Lebanese people, and that the death toll is growing. This week, Iranian leaders marched in the streets of Tehran projecting unity and defiance as the war reaches two weeks.  Majd says there's no sign that Israel or the US are going to end the war, and there's no sign that Iran is going to surrender or negotiate a ceasefire. Despite Trump's claims that he would pick the next leader of Iran, Iranian leadership appointed Mojtaba Khamenei as the country's new Supreme Leader.  They also discuss the restrictions on foreign journalists in Iran, how the attacks on Iran come on the heels of Trump's assault on Venezuela, how fundamental religious figures are shaping the war, and the creation of a new refugee crisis in Lebanon and this crisis could spread to Iran if the US deploys ground troops. Hooman Majd is an Iranian-American writer, and the author of three books on Iran, including the New York Times bestseller The Ayatollah Begs to Differ. His new book, a memoir, is Minister Without Portfolio: Memoir of a Reluctant Exile. Majd has also written for The New Yorker, GQ, Newsweek, The New York Times, The New Republic, Time, Vanity Fair, The Financial Times, Foreign Policy, Foreign Affairs, Politico, and Interview Magazine, among others. He is a contributor to NBC News. He has published short fiction in literary journals such as Guernica and The American Scholar. He lives in New York City.

Notes and Links to Tom Junod's Work   Tom Junod is an ESPN senior writer who has written some of the most enduring and widely read longform journalism of the last 30 years.    He joined ESPN in 2016 and has specialized in deeply reported stories on subjects ranging from Muhammad Ali's funeral to Tom Brady's desire to play forever. He has been nominated for an Emmy for his work on “The Hero of Goodall Park,” an E60 program on the ancient secrets that were revealed when a car drove on a baseball field in Maine during a Babe Ruth League game in 2018.     In a 2022 piece, “Untold,” he and ESPN investigative reporter Paula Lavigne spent nearly two years uncovering the horrific crimes of Todd Hodne, a  Penn State football player who in the late 1970's terrorized State College PA, and Long Island, NY, as a serial sexual predator.    Before coming to ESPN, Junod wrote for GQ and Esquire, where he won two National Magazine Awards and was a finalist for the award a record 11 times.

"The worst thing you can do is pitch a topic, not a story. You start with a topic. I like to talk to a few people before I write a pitch, which can be difficult because people you're asking to talk to don't know where it's going. I just look for topics that interest me first, and I dig down to an expert, and then from the expert, I try and find individual stories within that," says Peter Ward, whose "Master and Commander" appeared in The Atavist Magazine.It's that Atavistian time of the month, so there might be some spoilers here.

Unser heutiger Gast ist einer der bekanntesten Medienmacher Deutschlands. Er war Chefredakteur der GQ, hat über viele Jahre Stil, Haltung und Zeitgeist kuratiert. Er war nah dran an den großen Namen aus Wirtschaft, Sport, Kultur und Entertainment. Er hat erlebt, wie schnell Öffentlichkeit kommt und geht. Er hat zugehört und Geschichten entdeckt und aufgeschrieben, er hat Trends bewertet, Menschen auf Titel gehoben und sich dabei immer stärker für das interessiert, was hinter der Fassade liegt. Nicht nur: Wer ist gerade erfolgreich? Sondern: Was trägt wirklich? Mit seinem Podcast Tomorrow spricht er seit Jahren mit Persönlichkeiten, die auf Bühnen stehen, Unternehmen führen, Weltmeisterschaften gewinnen oder kulturelle Debatten prägen. Für sein aktuelles Buch “Der Code zum Erfolg” hat er diese Gespräche noch einmal neu betrachtet, Muster herausgearbeitet, Querverbindungen gezogen und 115 Erfolgsgeschichten systematisch ausgewertet. Seit mehr als acht Jahren beschäftigen wir uns in diesem Podcast mit der Frage, wie Arbeit den Menschen stärkt, statt ihn zu schwächen. Wir haben in über 500 Episoden mit fast 700 Persönlichkeiten darüber gesprochen, was sich bereits verändert hat und was sich weiter ändern muss. Was trägt die Identität eines Menschen, wenn berufliche Rolle und Titel wegfallen? Welche Beziehungen in Netzwerken sind belastbar und welche bestehen vor allem durch Funktion? Wie gelingt es, Erfolg nicht als erreichten Zustand zu verstehen, sondern als kontinuierliche Praxis und Haltung im Alltag? Fest steht: Für die Lösung unserer aktuellen Herausforderungen brauchen wir neue Impulse. Wir suchen weiter nach Methoden, Vorbildern, Erfahrungen, Tools und Ideen, die uns dem Kern von New Work näher bringen. Darüber hinaus beschäftigt uns von Anfang an die Frage, ob wirklich alle Menschen das finden und leben können, was sie im Innersten wirklich wirklich wollen. Ihr seid bei On the Way to New Work – heute in einer Kollaborationsfolge mit Zoomer meets Boomer und meinem Co-Host Oskar Trautmann und unserem Gast Tom Junkersdorf.

How does your brain actually detect smell and taste? And why does the MCAT care so much about the difference between flavor and taste?In this Jack Westin MCAT Podcast episode, Mike and Molly break down everything you need to know about olfaction and gustation for the MCAT. Building on our previous episode about GPCR signaling, we walk through how smell and taste both rely on chemoreceptors, why they use different signaling pathways, and how they combine to create your perception of flavor.In this episode, you'll learn:

It's one of those weeks where the headlines feel uncomfortably close to home. Between James Van Der Beek's death from colorectal cancer and Eric Dane's ALS diagnosis, it's hard not to think about your own health and mortality. So we brought on our friend Mickey Rapkin — journalist, author, former GQ editor, and yes, the guy who wrote Pitch Perfect before it became a major studio franchise. In August 2025, Mickey's older brother Jon died from brain cancer. We talk about sibling loss (aka the worst club), the sacred inside jokes, the random movie lines that become part of your daily language, and how grief rewires you on a cellular level. We also get into Mickey's Men's Health piece about cancer screenings — the big question of how much do you want to know, what testing can (and can't) do, and why “control is an illusion” is both depressing and… oddly clarifying.

In this Jack Westin MCAT Podcast episode, Mike and Molly break down MCAT signaling cascades with a clear, test-focused walkthrough of G protein–coupled receptors (GPCRs). You'll learn the core GPCR structure, how GDP → GTP activation works , why signaling pathways create amplification, and how cells shut signals off with built-in termination steps.We cover the high-yield cAMP pathway in detail, including Gs vs Gi, adenylyl cyclase → cAMP → protein kinase A (PKA), plus the key ideas behind the Gq pathway (PLC and calcium signaling). We also connect GPCR signaling to common MCAT contexts like hormones, fast cellular responses, and a classic passage-style example (cholera toxin) to show how the AAMC tests cause-and-effect in pathways.In this episode, you'll learn:

Evan Cudworth is known as the world's first Party Coach and the creator of The Party Within, a framework designed to help adults reconnect to joy, presence, and authentic human connection in a culture that is increasingly optimized, anxious, and isolated. His work blends psychology, flow state, and community-building, and has been featured in GQ, The Washington Post, LA Times, and Teen Vogue.In this episode, we explore the idea of a “party coach” as something much deeper than nightlife or entertainment. This is about participation. About play. About rebuilding connection in a time when many of us are high-functioning but lonely.We talk about the evolution of party culture, the spiritual benefits and risks of partying, the tension between wellness culture and hedonism, and why so many adults have quietly opted out of real-life connection. We unpack the difference between numbing and presence, and how intentional gatherings can actually support mental health and nervous system regulation.This conversation is ultimately about how we show up in life. Not as performers. Not as optimizers. But as participants.Website: https://partycoach.meInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/evan_cudworth/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@evan_cudworth

His book, What Do You Do When You're Lonesome : The Authorized Biography of Justin Townes Earle, is the focus of this episode. In What To Do When You're Lonely, Jonathan Bernstein, with the full cooperation of the Justin Townes Earle estate, unravels a short but incredibly creative life, and reveals the backstories behind Justin's greatest songs and what happened when it all fell apart while also capturing a shadow world of the neglected children of Nashville legends who wrestle with the legacies of their hard-living, road-weary, often absent parents.

Why are men's style guides just glorified affiliate link shopping lists? What should a real style guide for men actually teach you? And how do you build a wardrobe you love without spending a fortune?On the Season 13 finale, Sol and Michael tear apart the modern men's style guide — from GQ and Esquire to The Rake — and expose why today's fashion advice is failing young men. We do what none of those guides bother to do: share real, practical styling tips that will actually make you dress better, starting today. No affiliate links. No product lists. No bullshit.The duo covers how to find a good tailor (and why a $100 vintage suit tailored for $600 beats a $1,000 suit off the rack), why you need to wear your clothes and break them in instead of babysitting them for resale value, how to stop treating clothing as an investment piece, the right way to wash and care for your garments, why trying clothes on in person matters more than ever, how to build your personal style by copying first and evolving over time, and why patience and eBay alerts will get you everything you want for a fraction of retail.They also rant about "end game" brand gatekeeping, Our Legacy, why influencer fashion has broken people's brains, Raf Simons resale culture as a Ponzi scheme, and the forgotten art of just wearing a beat-up Oxford shirt to work every day like a Thom Browne employee. Plus: fit checks featuring a 1971 US military fishtail parka with original blanket liner, Rick Owens drawstring pants and Uggs, a FedEx customs horror story, Joe Pesci's golf fits, the season wrap-up, and a $250 giveaway.We hope you enjoy this one as much as we loved making it.

"The black market exists only because we decided that this form of trade should be illegal." — Scott EdenIn October 2019, tech executive Tushar Atre was abducted from his oceanfront home in Santa Cruz and found murdered on his own property in the redwoods — shot execution-style, hands bound. He had spent barely three years in the cannabis business. Scott Eden's new book traces how a charismatic Silicon Valley entrepreneur, seeking to "disrupt" the newly legal weed industry, found himself entangled with an array of colorful and dangerous characters — hippie do-gooders, black-market operators, and stone-cold killers. We discuss the permeable divide between legal and illegal cannabis, why the industry has been an economic disaster for most founders, and whether America's half-pregnant approach to legalization created the conditions for Tushar's death. A California story about ambition, love, and the darker edges of the American dream.About the GuestScott Eden is an award-winning investigative journalist whose work has appeared in ESPN The Magazine, GQ, Wired, Inc., and The Atavist.

In today's episode, I'm sitting down with interior designer, creative instigator, and community builder Rhobin DelaCruz. Rhobin has worked with brands like GQ, TED, and MTV, but what really stands out is how intentionally he approaches both design and business. From the way he talks about community to how he shows up at High Point Market, everything he does is rooted in purpose, clarity, and connection. This conversation covers a lot of ground—from career pivots to nonprofit work—and it's one of those episodes that reminds you how powerful design can really be. In this episode, we talk about: How the Design Besties were formed and how a simple group chat turned into a mission-driven nonprofit Why transforming teachers' lounges became the heart of the Design Besties' work and the unexpected emotional impact of their first project How thoughtful, well-designed spaces can support wellness, leadership, and community within schools What it means to be named a High Point Style Spotter and how Rhobin approaches that role Rhobin's unconventional path from advertising and MTV into interior design The reality of gatekeeping in the design industry and how community has shifted in recent years Why investing in business coaching and showing up at market with intention changed the trajectory of his career I loved this conversation because Rhobin is so honest about both the challenges and the wins. His story is a reminder that careers don't have to be linear, community really does matter, and when you lead with intention, the opportunities tend to follow. I hope this episode leaves you feeling inspired to take up space, connect more deeply, and build something meaningful in your own work.   RESOURCES:   INTERIOR DESIGN BUSINESS BAKERY - Our year-long mentorship and coaching program: https://thedesignbakehouse.com/interior-design-business-bakery   SIMPLIFY YOUR MARKETING, SIMPLIFY YOUR LIFE.

GOAT eschews the acronym "Greatest of All Time" for the literal: a teenage goat named Will Harris (Caleb McLaughlin) who dreams of changing the game of Roarball, an animalian version of basketball played on rocky, icy, thorny, or burning-hot terrain that's treacherous at best, deadly at worst.He wishes to follow in the paw prints of the G.O.A.T., a black leopard named Jett Fillmore (Gabrielle Union), whose hometown hero status goes all the way back to Will's childhood. She's the reason for his dedication.After a scrimmage between Will and Roarball star Mane (a deliciously unhinged Aaron Pierre) goes viral, the owner of Jett's team, seeing a promotional opportunity, hires Will to join, giving him the opportunity to prove, once and for all, that "smalls" CAN ball.Whatever ideas you have about how this movie unfolds are likely correct. This story and its characters will never, unlike Will, reinvent the game. But where GOAT earns my respect (yet not my endorsement, let's get that clear) is in its portrayal of basketball culture, Black-borne with influence stretching out to hip-hop, anime and sneaker culture.Each of these avenues allows fans to connect with their found communities, support each other through the collective challenges and triumphs of a beloved game. This identity strengthens over time to become not just fandom, but culture itself. The roots, indeed, run deep.I just wish the story and characters followed suit.Alan Chazaro's GQ article "The Unbreakable Bond Between Anime and the NBA"---Follow The Movies on ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ & ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Letterboxd⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Throw a couple dollars in the ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠tip jar!

Erin Somers' new novel, The Ten Year Affair is a story about Millennial disillusionment (and extramarital sex). The New Yorker called it “intoxicating” and W praised the book for its “sometimes mocking examination of young middle age.” I wanted to speak with Erin because her characters reflect a sense of grown-up melancholy arising when goals like home ownership, careers, and parenthood don't provide the fulfillment that was expected of them. So what do we do, she asks implicitly, when we find ourselves in a life designed to have meaning but does not deliver on that promise? Her characters also embody the impossible and contradictory messages society has imposed on gender roles for her generation. For men: be sensitive, inclusive, do half the housework, but still make a lot of money. For women: go conquer the corporate world while simultaneously being a present, nurturing mother and a sensual, doting wife. To me, this issue—even more than the deliciously provocative infidelity—is what has me continuing to think about the book, weeks after I finished it. Erin's writing and reportage has appeared in The New York Times Magazine, The New Yorker, The Paris Review, Esquire, GQ, The Nation, The New Republic, and elsewhere. Vogue named her first novel, Stay Up With Hugo Best, to their list of the Best Books of the Year for 2019. ✍️Please ⁠rate and review⁠ ⁠⁠Reasonably Happy⁠⁠ (DO IT!) ✍️ https://ratethispodcast.com/paulopod

"One thing that's really interesting to me...is that one of our great cultural critics is Stephen King... the basically the first big review of Red Dragon in the I think it was in the Washington Post in 1981, and it is not only a rave, but it is completely 100 spot on. Red Dragon is like stepping into a limousine where everything works... perfectly."In this very special bonus episode of MINHUNTER, I speak to the extremely talented journalist, author and podcaster Brian Raftery about his great new novel, HANNIBAL LECTER - A LIFE. Synopsis: Drawing from exclusive interviews and previously unseen archival materials, this one-of-its-kind biography of Hannibal Lecter documents the cannibal's journey from terrifying villain to unexpectedly adored antihero.This unique biography traces the many lives and crimes of Hannibal Lecter: his disturbing debut in Thomas Harris's 1981 novel Red Dragon; his rise to infamy in beloved films like Michael Mann's Manhunter and Jonathan Demme's Academy Award–winning The Silence of the Lambs; and his unexpected comeback in the cult-hit TV series Hannibal. It also dives into the untold life and career of Harris, the secretive bestselling author whose passion for reporting, eye for grisly detail, and connections to the FBI helped birth not only Lecter, but also the modern true-crime genre. Along the way, Hannibal Lecter: A Life documents the many ways Lecter's rise reflected America's ever-growing obsession with real-life serial killers.Featuring all-new interviews with crucial figures from Lecter's past—including actor Brian Cox, director Mann, and former FBI special agent John Douglas—Hannibal Lecter: A Life is a deeply reported, wildly entertaining look at the making of one of the most beloved bad guys of all time.About Brian Raftery Brian Raftery's work has appeared in such publications as The New York Times, Wired, GQ, and The Ringer. He's the author of Best.

Episode SummaryPotent in vitro hits often fail in vivo—Martin Marro details how robust assay choice and pathway deconvolution can revive GPCR drug discovery programs.Listeners will learn practical approaches to assay development for GPCR drug discovery, the pitfalls of calcium readouts, and how identifying pathway bias impacts translational success. Dr. Marro shares his experience bridging in vitro–in vivo gaps, refining selection flowcharts, and leveraging pharmacology research to drive clinical candidates. His strategic perspective is rooted in years of leading multimodal discovery teams in pharma and biotech. Key TakeawaysAssay selection critically shapes the trajectory from hit to clinic.Calcium and IP1 assays may not predict in vivo efficacy for all Gq-coupled receptor targetsAlternative pathway analysis may be essential for mechanism elucidation.Persistence in probing beyond standard readouts can rescue high-profile discovery programs. Team structure and collaborative problem-solving are pivotal in resolving translational bottlenecks.Explore Dr. GPCR Resources- Dr. GPCR Ecosystem- Membership & Pricing- Weekly NewsExplore the full depth of GPCR resources, events, and member-exclusive tools with Dr. GPCR Premium.About the GuestDr. Martin Marro leads the Cell Pharmacology group in the DOCTA division at Lilly's Seaport Innovation Center in Boston, MA.

From CBD leggings to Soulcycle, wellness is reshaping our relationships to our bodies and souls. But what even is "wellness?" Well, for one, it's a global industry worth 6 trillion dollars. And it encompasses all kinds of things – including spirituality: from the spirituality of wellness practices like yoga and reiki, to treating wellness itself like a religion. As spirituality, self-care, and capitalism swirl together, what is missing from the story?Brittany is joined by Alyssa Bereznak, GQ's Wellness Director, and Rina Raphael, author of the book The Gospel of Wellness: Gyms, Gurus, Goop, and the False Promise of Self-Care, to get into what people get out of a wellness-based spiritualism and consumerism.This episode originally aired on March 17, 2025.Support Public Media.
