# Why Phnom Penh is the Best City on the Planet: https://erickimphotography.com/why-phnom-penh-is-the-greatest-city-on-the-planet/Ok, some simple thoughts and observations:First, I think I could speak well because I've literally been on like all the best cities on the planet. It's at least like 1000 times better than any other city on the planet. Why? Let me try to do a comprehensive breakdown:First, Khmer culture. Difficult to explain Khmer culture if you've never been here, but what's super interesting about Khmer culture is that it is an interesting combination of calm, peaceful, tranquil, zen. The feeling I have is everyone is really at a sense of peace, calm.  Second, the youth. I think the median age for people here is like 21 or 25 years old? Literally everybody you meet is super young in the city. Everyone is super super happy smiling all the time, extremely friendly, great at English, and also very ambitious. And it kind of makes sense, like when you go to a café or a restaurant… The whole place is run by like 18 19 20 year-olds.

The churches of Amsterdam are not always what they seem.  One is more of a national memorial, another is an art gallery and concert venue.  A third is a museum where you can learn the story of the hidden churches which opened in the 17th century and where worshippers gathered for over 200 years.  They key factor is a date – 1578 – when an event occurred which changed everything: the Alteration.  This episode explains what happened and then tours half a dozen of the city's churches and explains what you can expect to find if you visit them today.   Reading Suggestions  Amsterdam A Brief Life of the City by Geert Mak Amsterdam A History of the World's Most Liberal City by Russell Shorto The Invention of Amsterdam A History of the World's Greatest City in 10 Walks by Ben Coates Links for this post The Begijnhof The Oude Kerk The Nieuwe Kerk The Westerkerk The Noorderkerk    St Nicholas Our Lord in the Attic

This hour, Scoot and Ian give us an update on the latest tally in the Rice or Potato Salad in gumbo voting, how the Manning Family is using their money to help others around New Orleans, before sitting down with sister station hosts on 96.5 The Fan, in KC, Bob Fescoe and Dusty Likins on how Kansas City feels about Taylor Swift, the team chasing their destiny, and how New Orleans is without a doubt, the best city to host the Super Bowl.

“I think this election is about who can put the city back together, and I don't think people are going to buy the woe-is-me Eric Adams story,” Stringer said in a sitdown interview. “Maybe Trump will buy it, but I don't think voters are going to buy it.” In a wide-ranging conversation —the first in a series with all of the declared candidates — the former comptroller who lost to Adams in the 2021 primary explained what he's been doing since then as “a New Yorker without portfolio,” laid out his view of a city in crisis (“we have a crime issue, and it's real”), and pitched himself as the right person to connect with voters and to turn things around

Earlier this week, one of our producers, pointed out a Time Out New York article titled, “NYC ranked best city in the U.S. in a new study”The article's subtitle? “We already knew—and now you know as well.”We agreed -- but we aren't closed minded -- so we put it to listeners as part of our "Small Stakes, Big Opinions" series. The question on the table: is New York, in fact, the greatest city in the world? If not, what is? Comedian and author Josh Gondelman joined us to discuss.*Guest hosted by David Furst*

As a lifelong Chicagoan, Brandon Johnson wishes more people could see the city through the eyes of the mayor. Growing up in a faith-centered family on the “West West” Side of Chicago, serving the community has always been a deeply-instilled passion in Johnson's life. After becoming a public school teacher in Cabrini-Green, Johnson was galvanized to pursue politics — later becoming a Cook County commissioner and the 57th mayor of Chicago, “the greatest freaking city in the world.” This is what his Chicago sounds like. This segment of “This Is What Chicago Sounds Like” was edited and produced by Ari Mejia. Find the mayor on Instagram @chicagosmayor.

What makes a story a New York story? Maybe it's seeing a drag queen emerge from a manhole cover on Canal Street in a full look at 6:30 a.m. Or it could be a woman carrying a bag of live eels on the subway to the shock of no one. The thing is, you know a New York Story when you've got one, and Dan Saltzstein has collected a whole book's worth of little vignettes — short stories and curated tweets that perfectly distill that New York moment to a second or two. Saltzstein joins us today to discuss his book, “That's So New York: Short and Very Short Stories About the Greatest City on Earth," and the makings of a great New York story.   Brooklyn news and views you can use: bkmag.com Email: hello@bkmag.com Follow along on Facebook: Brooklyn Magazine Twitter: @brooklynmag Instagram: @brooklynmagazine Follow Brian Braiker on Twitter: @slarkpope

Today's show is like rocking around a Christmas colonoscopy... or should I call it a "Christmoscopy"?  I got a colonoscopy coming up my butt this week, so me and my buddies talk about it on the show. In Best Trends, Brenda Lee's "Rockin' Around The Christmas Tree" hits No. 1 65 Years After Its Release. Why? How?  Does this mean we don't have to hear Mariah Carey anymore? Also, I got another residual check in the mail, so we're gonna play another round of How Much is That Screen Actors Guild Residual Check? and give the check to some lucky listener. We talk Carolina Panthers, a gig I did in Virginia for the smallest crowd I've ever performed for, Hickory being the "World's Greatest City", and our favorite Christmas movies.

Today's show is like a happy, dancing Ginger Ninja Kid who got snubbed from the playoffs! In Best Trends, Florida State got snubbed from the college playoffs. What are our thoughts on this?

We play the video and review his moves. In Small Town News, is Hickory the “World's Greatest City”?  We were going to talk about this but ran out of time... so we'll pick it up next week. Since Marcus Stamos is here in the studio, we're gonna play another round of GOODWILL HUNTING as we unbox gifts we got each other from our local Goodwill. Who got the best gift?

Episode 35 with Kari Miller of Tiny Dog Press is about growing a small business at your own pace, and more. When a friend asked Kari Miller to print his wedding invitations, she saw that his fiancé at the time had created an illustration of Baltimore's “Greatest City in America” bench for their RSVP card. Kari thought the image would make a great card, and this was the beginning of Tiny Dog Press. In this episode, Kari talks about: ·       How she discovered her niche in cards even though she doesn't consider herself a “word person”; ·       How she developed the theme for her cards; ·       How she navigates conversations about small business pricing with customers; ·       What she is most proud of (hint: it has to be do with finances); ·       How she works to keep her small business from being too all-consuming and ultimately find balance in her life; and more.

People come to Baltimore and fall in love with it and dedicate their lives to making it better,  Rev. Al and I couldn't be more excited to welcome Farmer Chippy a man who John Brothers couldn't stop talking about, so we had to bring him on and we quickly came to the conclusion he's a bigtime diamond in the rough. Farmer Chippy, he's a farmer, he's community organizer, the father of two children and a difference maker in a Community that has been challenged for a too long.  He started coming to Baltimore as a child to visit his grandfather from his home in Trinidad Tabago, he fell in love with the place and laid down his roots coinciding the birth of his first son... If he's not working with kids that don't trust many other than him, he is buildng a reputation as someone that gets things done.  The largest Urban Farm in one of the state's most challenged neighborhood.  Bringing trust, growing a little food and providing "food for the mind" he's created a large following and he's leading his fellow citizens to the light.  Community organizing is his strength and he recently pulled together the Carribean Community, which is prevelant and proud in Park Heights for a celebration of "Carnival" in Druid Hill Park, one of our favorite places.  We got an hour with him, it's a great talk and we quickly realized that this guy is Holy, his work is Holy, and we are lucky to have him as a full fledged advocate for our City...This is what Baltimore does to  people...Rev and I feel the same way as you do Farmer Chippy, Baltimore, "The Greatest City in America" Thanks for joining us and all you are doing for Baltimore. Up Up and away we go...

The paint is worn thin, but the message is still there, a puzzling declaration from a foggy past. At some point in history, someone decided to emblazon the city's public benches with the hyperbolically proud slogan:  Baltimore – The Greatest City in America.

While he started his career as a drummer in the 1970s, Andrew Dice Clay shifted gears in '78 and launched a career in stand-up comedy. He moved from Brooklyn to Hollywood and crafted an act that, by the late 80s, had made him the biggest name in comedy…becoming the FIRST comedian to sell out Madison Square Garden two consecutive nights!! His non-PC act raised eyebrows and courted controversy, but he always stuck to his guns…and launched an acting career that saw him starring on his own Showtime series, and winning rave reviews for his dramatic work in the 2018 movie “A Star Is Born”. And now he's rolling into KC to perform three nights at the Comedy Club of KC, so we got him on the phone to catch up with this comedy legend!!

Welcome to This Present Moment.What follows is the first in a series of semimonthly writings. In the coming weeks I will share emails on life, philosophy, consciousness and whatever else electrifies me. What this will blossom into, I do not know. It is an experiment in connection, and I invite you to meet me here. If you'd like to be kept abreast, subscribe below for new volumes at least twice a month.To move into This Present Moment, let's first look backward. It's almost cute how we compartmentalize our life into eras. We see our history as little chapters that comprise the Story of Our Life.It's portioned out into sub-narratives, like "My Summer Abroad," or "Middle School: The Weird Years," or "Grandma's Final Days." We also have collective eras, culturally agreed upon and enshrined in history books. "The Victorian Era." "Pre-9/11." And now, "COVID." In the centuries to come, those early months of 2020 will be the pivot in which the 21st century turns. And as with many of us, it is also a fulcrum in which my life turned.In February 2020 I snuffed out the last remnants of my bachelor life and said goodbye to the East Village. I whittled down my belongings to three boxes, moved into my girlfriend's uptown apartment, and she immediately got me hooked on La Croix. I am now a convert.But moments after I moved in, the world moved away. New York drifted into silenceThe nation held its breath.And we all became friendly with the unknown.The Observer In Me found this curiously engrossing. Tragic, absolutely, but it was also a time bursting with novelty. If you recall, this domestic drama premiered in New York City. It was quite the production. There was the now-mired press briefings by Andrew Cuomo, the banging of pots for healthcare workers, and, of course, a deus-ex-machina: The USNS Comfort. That Navy darling sat emptily one block from my apartment, greeting me during mornings runs. "May you live in interesting times." Well, what's more interesting than jogging through a totally empty Times Square like Tom Cruise in Vanilla Sky?And as if reality wasn't shifting fast enough, we decided to get a puppy. Rooh surged into our life with boundless vigor. At once a firecracker and a love-bug, she's tested me where I'm weak and softened me where I'm hard. And in turn, she has become one of my greatest teachers. As rascalous as she is, I marvel at how I've come to love her. Animals are bizarre beings. On one hand, they're in some foreign world that shirks any resemblance to the mind of man. And yet, we draw our eyes to theirs and we connect. In that instant we know each other, and we see them as if they were us. That collective space—the union of mind—is what this present moment is really about. Somewhere behind the clatter of our daily thoughts we have a deeper seat of awareness, a point of stillness.Our minds have been affected by this virus more than our bodies. In the fog of lockdown, one was left with an inescapably close-up look at their life. It slowed our motion, held up a mirror, and asked Do you like what you see? In the mornings I would sit on a thin, grassy parkway on the Hudson River. This slice of "nature" became my center of gravity, my tether to the natural world. Lying in Shavasana, I would listen to the birds sing. They didn't seem worried about anything—just another day in the steady spin of time. The dawn sun would bathe my body, and I felt clean. What nourishment even the briefest ray of light offers us in otherwise dark times. "So shines a good deed in a weary world."My years in New York were buoyed by these daily trips to the park. Mini-eras marked by mini-plots of grass. Astoria Park. Central Park. Washington Square. With every new apartment came a new spot to commune with the Sun. Tompkins. East River. Riverside. Prospect. They were lifelines carrying me through the different islands of my 20's.But through the looking-glass of lockdown, these meager patches of Earth suddenly seemed insufficient. Where was there room for growth?And thus the closing words were written for "The Most Exciting Decade of My Life." Nothing will match the youthful jubilance of those New York years—a kinetic voyage of self-discovery that will forever be lodged in my heart. What a gift it was to come of age in the Greatest City in the World, to ride its waves to the shores of who I am. But it was time to traverse new lands. Molly and I condensed our few belongings into storage, bought a car, and with little Rooh took to America to find a home. The first stop was Molly's hometown of Carlisle, Ohio, a bastion of middle America, and a counterpoint to the high pitch of New York. Molly's folks inhabit an old haunted house where I spent my free time writing what amounted to a garage-philosophy theory of everything. Our month-long stopover was a gentle respite of relaxation, contemplation, and, as always, work. For the prior two years I had been a filmmaker at Google's Creative Lab. Gripes abound at Big Tech these days, and I could levy plenty of grievances over the perils of modern technology—corporate and otherwise. But my experience there was fantastic, and the Creative Lab is good people trying to do good things with a good company. Plus, the work was stimulating—crescendoing, for instance, in a Super Bowl spot of which I am proud.I was at the end of my contract—and at the end of my willpower to gaze into a Macbook all day. I bid Google adieu and, for the first time in my life, began turning down work. I was simply going to live.Thus began one of the most glorious chapters of my life.First we dropped by Chicago to see my folks, and then sojourned at Molly's sister's in Oklahoma City (a surprisingly hip place). Then we drove west to Colorado and nabbed an AirBNB in the mountains, nestled between Boulder and a crusty, hippie town named Nederland. The mammoth beauty of it all lifted me up, and I was Rocky Mountain High. The vastness of the mountains. The totemic serenity of the trees. The notes of pine in the morning air. It felt magical, and my spirit was ignited. We descended Colorado by way of a small mountain town named Crestone, population 86. Crestone is a bracingly unique spot in the San Luis Valley, flanked by dozens of Zen retreat centers, the Sand Dunes National Park, and my favorite: a UFO watchtower. (My visit offered no sightings ... But aliens are real. More on that some other time.

Margarette Lincoln's London and the Seventeenth Century (Yale Yale University Press, 2021) explores the ups and downs of life in Stuart London through the eyes of those who lived through it.  The Gunpowder Plot, the Civil Wars, Charles I's execution, the Plague, the Great Fire, the Restoration, and then the Glorious Revolution: the seventeenth century was one of the most momentous times in the history of Britain, and Londoners took center stage. In this fascinating account, Margarette Lincoln charts the impact of national events on an ever-growing citizenry with its love of pageantry, spectacle, and enterprise. Lincoln looks at how religious, political, and financial tensions were fomented by commercial ambition, expansion, and hardship. In addition to events at court and parliament, she evokes the remarkable figures of the period, including Shakespeare, Bacon, Pepys, and Newton, and draws on diaries, letters, and wills to trace the untold stories of ordinary Londoners. Through their eyes, we see how the nation emerged from a turbulent century poised to become a great maritime power with London at its heart--the greatest city of its time. The seventeenth century was a period of tumult - Civil War, the Great Fire (and many other fires), the Great Plague (and other bouts of plague every 20 years or so), and many many executions. Yet, amidst the mess, this period also saw London lay the groundwork for its rise as a maritime power and eventually as the World's Greatest City.  Learn more about your ad choices.
