We are revisiting one of our favorite episodes with none other than Mr. Calvin Klein. He came to the Vogue podcast studio last year to chat with Nicole Phelps.Calvin is the designer who dressed America—and the world—in his designer jeans and logo underwear. The designer who broke all the rules of luxury advertising and in the process became a household name. The designer whose streamlined slip dresses and sleek suits, even after over 20 years of retirement, still define American minimalism, providing a template for young designers of today.He talked about his early days in the Bronx, his own first job at Women's Wear Daily, his quest for perfection, and the keys to unparalleled success. Two words: Confidence and DriveBut first, Chioma shares an update from Milan, talks about her busy weekend at Vogue Cafe London and co-hosting British Vogue and GQ's Fashion & Film Party, and reveals her highlights from London Fashion Week. Chloe talks about her first issue with Rosalia hitting news stands and Vogue's Casa Magazines pop-up!The Run-Through with Vogue is your go-to podcast where fashion meets culture. Hosted by Chloe Malle, Head of Editorial Content, Vogue U.S.; Chioma Nnadi, Head of British Vogue; and Nicole Phelps, Director of Vogue Runway, each episode features the latest fashion news and exclusive designer and celebrity interviews.

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
This episode of Across The Margin : The Podcast features an interview with Jonathan Bernstein, a senior research editor and writer at Rolling Stone, who before that was a freelancer for Oxford American, The Guardian, GQ, Vulture, Pitchfork, The Village Voice, Spin, Entertainment Weekly, and American Songwriter. 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.

Welcome back to the next installment of my Client Testimonial series, where we hear from my 1:1 personal training clients about their experience working with me, and how they've transformed their body/mind/soul via strength training.In this episode, we discuss Parisa's longing for a competitive athletic outlet in adulthood, how strength training finally alleviated her chronic pain, and how getting strong has transformed not only her physical body but also the way she moves through the world.This episode is for: lifelong athletes who don't feel challenged enough in adult team sports, those living with chronic pain who are curious if strength training could solve it for good, people whose past experiences with personal training felt random and disconnected, and anyone who's wasted years of their life picking apart their body in the mirror and are ready to build a new relationship with themselves from the inside out
"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. His story "The Prosecution of Thabo Sefolosha" won a 2017 New York Press Club Award and a National Association of Black Journalists award for investigative reporting. He is the author of Touchdown Jesus (Simon & Schuster, 2005) and the new A Killing in Cannabis.References:People discussed:Tushar Atre — tech executive and cannabis entrepreneur; murdered October 1, 2019Rachael Lynch — cannabis grower from the Emerald Triangle; Atre's business partner and loverKen Kesey — author of One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest; Merry Pranksters; La Honda cabin in the Santa Cruz MountainsSean Parker — Napster founder, early Facebook investor; bankrolled Proposition 64Travis Kalanick — Uber founder; comparison to Atre's brash, edge-seeking styleTony Hsieh — Zappos founder; tragic death; Silicon Valley hipster executive archetypePlaces:Pleasure Point, Santa Cruz — oceanfront neighborhood; famous surf break; Atre's homeEmerald Triangle — Humboldt, Mendocino, Trinity counties; America's cannabis heartlandLegal and historical:Proposition 64 (2016) — California ballot initiative legalizing recreational cannabisProposition 215 (1996) — earlier medical marijuana law; the "215 era"About Keen On AmericaNobody asks more awkward questions than the Anglo-American writer and filmmaker Andrew Keen.

In this episode of The LinkedIn Marketer I chat to World-Renowned, Award Winning Portrait Specialist, Jason Malouin. about his work with real people doing big things who care deeply about how they show up and the impact they have in the world.Jason's work can be seen on the pages of Entrepreneur, GQ, Forbes, Financial Review, dozens of book covers and billboards & bus stops all over the world. His understanding of light, lines and gesture is only surpassed by his understanding of the entrepreneur's journey. He has been photographing 'professionals on the rise' exclusively for over 15 years and loves working with real people doing big things who care deeply about how they show up and the impact they have in the world.Anyone who has been photographed by Jason understands that the images are secondary. His clients know the real value of his process is the chance to profoundly redefine themselves and communicate that on a deeply fundamental level to your audience. It's an opportunity to hold up a mirror and - if you're open - give yourself a chance to see yourself differently.

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.

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. Movie. Year. Ever.: How 1999 Blew Up the Big Screen, and the host of multiple podcasts for the Ringer, including the acclaimed Gene & Roger.

AI and large language models that have been trained on content containing gender stereotypes and are now integrated into many everyday platforms, such as X's Grok AI or Meta AI. These platforms are now being used to further propagate the spread of gender based abuse in an even more violent and widespread manner than before.Since the boom of artificial intelligence via ChatGPT in 2023, AI has become a household name and topic across the globe. In this new reality, both new challenges and new opportunities are at the forefront of the conversation for domestic violence survivors and advocates alike.Our guest is Adam Dodge.

Andrew Humberman BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Andrew Huberman, the Stanford neuroscientist and Huberman Lab podcast kingpin, has been lighting up the wellness scene with fresh insights this week. In a GQ interview published Monday, he dished on his go-to routines for crushing it health-wise in 2026, from morning light exposure to smart hydration hacks that keep his edge sharp amid a packed schedule, according to AOL News. Just days earlier on January 23, he joined Chris Williamson on the Modern Wisdom podcast for a deep dive into burnout protocols, stressing bright mornings under 10,000 lux, dim nights no brighter than a full moon at one to five lux, and treating those first three to six hours as pure go-time with no caffeine slip-ups. Huberman even spilled on loosening his own protocols after a combative Trump interview listen, nodding to sleep evangelist Matthew Walkers decade-long influence via Joe Rogan.Social buzz reignited around his Bill Maher appearance, where Tyla reports Huberman dropped a quirky sleep hack for midnight wake-ups: eyes closed, side-to-side eye rolls behind lids paired with long exhales to fire up the vagal nerve and slow heart rate. Fans online swear by it, with one claiming it scored two extra hours of shut-eye after an early rise. No fresh public sightings or business moves popped, though his site hypes the pre-order for Protocols, his upcoming book on rewiring brains for peak performance, amid glowing subscriber testimonials calling it life-changing. STAT News nods to his enduring sway as a top influencer shaping health chatter, despite past LA residency drama. All verified, no whispers of scandals or unconfirmed flings—just Huberman stacking science into everyday wins.

Send us a text*** TRIGGER WARNING *** Domestic abuse and sexual abuse are mentioned in this episode.My guest on the podcast today is Melanie Hamlett, a comedian, journalist, public speaker, and storyteller based in France. She's written dozens of articles for publications like Harper's Bazaar, The Washington Post, Glamour, The Daily Beast, Slate, Cosmo, The Guardian, Playboy, and The Huffington Post. Her viral article for Harper's Bazaar called ‘Men Have No Friends and Women Bear the Burden' has been referenced in dozens of podcasts, books, and publications including GQ, The New Yorker, Oprah, and Slate, and was also the inspiration for the sketch Man Park on Saturday Night Live, according to Vanity Fair. I came across Melanie on social media, and it's her TikTok and YouTube pages where she's doing most of her storytelling, culture criticism, and journalistic work these days — and she is HILARIOUS. She is a real force of nature, and you will hear that loud and clear in this conversation, so buckle up and be prepared for more swearing than usual. Melanie herself is actually married to a Frenchman — hence she lives in France — but she has very strong views about men, the patriarchy, and how women have been conditioned to essentially abandon themselves for the sake of romantic relationships. She is childfree. In our conversation, we delve into Melanie's past as an outdoor guide, her experiences in male-dominated environments, and her viral article 'Men Have No Friends and Women Bear the Burden.' We discuss societal issues, the impact of patriarchy, and the importance of fostering genuine communities and dating oneself. We also talk about Scott Galloway who Melanie is not a fan of, the need for women to centre their own well-being and build strong, supportive networks, and much more.Follow Melanie on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@melhamlett?lang=enFollow Melanie on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCRW66WXeQGNdV1NtyAIv0CgWatch one of Melanie's reels about Scott Galloway: https:// Support the showBuy my book, SHINY HAPPY SINGLES (UK) / THRIVE SOLO (US & Canada) at: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/book Join my membership community for single women, Thrive Solo: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/thrivesolo Download my FREE PDF 'Top 10 Comebacks for the MostAnnoying Questions Single Women Get Asked' Go to: https://www.lucymeggeson.com/comebacks Check out my YouTube Channel: https://www.youtube.com/@thrivesolowithlucymeggeson Join my private Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/1870817913309222/?ref=share Follow me on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/thrivesolowithlucymeggeson/ Email me: lucy@lucymeggeson.com And thank you so much for listening!

On episode 249, we welcome Jack El-Hai to discuss the Nuremberg trials and the recent film about them, the psychiatrist who analyzed Hermann Göring, Dr. Douglas Kelley's motivations for doing so, whether Nazis were monsters and if being human makes them scarier, how the results of Göring's Rorschach test reveled a narcissistic personality, the foundation of evil, Kelley's stifled ambitions and why his social contributions make his work meaningful, and the warnings in 'Nuremberg' about our political future. Jack El-Hai is an acclaimed author and journalist whose writing has appeared in The Atlantic, Smithsonian, GQ, Wired, Scientific American, Discover, and many other publications. He has written several acclaimed books — including The Lobotomist, The Lost Brothers, and Face in the Mirror — translated into more than twenty languages worldwide.

In Season 8, Episode 1 of The Art Career Podcast, Emily sits down with Johnny Cirillo, the photographer and visual storyteller behind Watching New York— one of the most influential portrait projects documenting contemporary life in the city today.Born in Jackson Heights, Queens, Johnny developed an early passion for photography as a teenager on Long Island, after his mother gave him his first 35mm camera and shared her own black-and-white photographs from the 1960s. What began as an obsession quickly became a practice: rolling his own film, building a darkroom, and photographing friends as he explored the medium from the inside out.Through Watching New York, Johnny has built and connected a global community of more than 2 million people united by a shared love for New York — its people, its fashion, and its everyday magic. His work is rooted in attention and intimacy, capturing fleeting moments that feel both deeply personal and collectively recognizable. Johnny has collaborated with brands including Airbnb, Gucci, AMI Paris, Balenciaga, GQ, Burberry, Adidas, Away, and Free People, and has interviewed artists and cultural figures such as Halsey, Ethan Hawke, Colman Domingo, Charli XCX, Ashley Graham, and Lizzo.In this conversation, they explore:His early relationship to photography and image-makingHow Watching New York evolved into a cultural archiveThe ethics of looking, access, and photographing strangersBuilding trust and community through portraitureCollaborating with major brands while maintaining artistic integrityThis episode is a thoughtful reflection on observation, authorship, and the quiet power of paying attention — essential listening for anyone interested in photography, cultural memory, and the art of seeing.Follow Johnny: https://www.instagram.com/watchingnewyork/?hl=enPurchase: Watching New York: Street Style A to Z: https://www.amazon.com/Watching-New-York-Street-Style/dp/1419769944Follow Emily McElwreath on Instagram: @emilymcelwreath_artVisit theartcareer.com for more episodes and resourcesIf you loved this episode, tag @theartcareer and share your favorite insight on IG stories!

For someone who's done a lot of horror movies, Rebecca Hall admits she's a bit squeamish. That, however, didn't stop her from taking on a role in the newest body horror series, The Beauty, which is set to premiere January 21st on FX.Rebecca first learned of the series when she grabbed breakfast at Buvette in the West Village with Ryan Murphy (who created the show Matthew Hodgson) who enticed her with three things: a fun premise (an STD that makes you so hot that you explode, sign Rebecca up!), great clothes (The Row to be specific, and who could say no to that?) plus a list of fabulous filming locations: Rome, Paris, and Venice all making the list.“He [Ryan] was very open to me. One of the joys for me of this job was that not many people asked me to just be myself for a character.” Rebecca told Senior Features Editor Marley Marius and Fashion Writer Hannah Jackson on Wednesday afternoon. This openness and collaborative spirit Ryan gives to his actors is what enticed Rebecca about working with him again on his series Monster, where she will play Lizzie Borden in which she called “entering her villain era” which was a lot of fun for her.When Rebecca is not on the job, she finds great joy in painting (many of her works have been either sold or exhibited), watching The Real Housewives of Salt Lake City (for which her husband is getting around to understanding), and dressing up in “crazy outfits” in her day-to-day quiet upstate life.Earlier in the episode, Chioma fills Chloe in about the behind-the-scenes of the new fabulous British Vogue cover with Jessie Buckley. They also chat what they are looking forward to about awards season and give a farewell to Will Welch who announced he is departing from GQ earlier this week.

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.
