Lucy Halliday lied her way into her first audition, went to medical school convinced acting would never happen for her, and is now starring opposite Elizabeth Moss in the sequel to ‘The Handmaid's Tale'. Lucy's journey to playing the rebel Pearl Girl Daisy in ‘The Testaments' has been anything but straightforward.  In this chat with Josh, Lucy opens up about landing only her third professional job, what it was like to film her first week on set with Elizabeth Moss, and the life-changing advice James McAvoy gave her on the set of California Schemin' that has become her mantra. She also talks candidly about growing up without drama school training and why she would never call herself an actor until very recently. Lucy gets into why The Testaments feel so urgent right now, why the line between the show and reality is terrifyingly thin, and what she thinks needs to change to make young women safer in society today. Oh, and she tells the full story of hyperventilating in Margaret Atwood's face, sitting elbow to elbow with her watching the first episodes back, and what Margaret pulled out of her bag at lunch that nobody was expecting…

In this episode, he breaks down what content engineering actually means — not just generating more AI content, but building the systems infrastructure to maintain quality, freshness, and brand accuracy across everything a company has ever put online. He makes the counterintuitive case that great content engineering puts more humans into the content process, and explains why 98% of AirOps's pilots convert to annual customers while most AI content pilots fail. If you think AI content is just a faster way to publish more, this episode will change how you think about it.About Alex HallidayAlex Halliday is the Founder and CEO of AirOps, where he leads the development of AI content engineering systems that help brands build visibility in AI search. Before founding AirOps in 2022, he served as Head of Product at MasterClass, where he was the company's first product hire and helped scale revenue 10x. As a Venture Partner at SparkLabs Global Accelerator, Alex has made early investments in OpenAI, Anthropic, Groq, and Discord.How AirOps Pivoted to AI Content EngineeringIn early 2022, the LLM moment hadn't happened yet. Not publicly. GPT-3 existed but was barely on anyone's radar in marketing. Most "AI for marketing" conversations were still about sentiment analysis tools and basic chatbots. The prevailing assumption was that software had rules, rules had limits, and those limits were the floor you designed around.Alex Halliday had an unusual vantage point. As a venture partner at SparkLabs Global Accelerator with early investments in OpenAI and Anthropic, he was closer to what was actually happening than almost anyone in his world. He still wasn't ready for what came next.It started with a conversation. He was in San Francisco with Sam Altman, something he made a habit of — whenever they crossed paths, Alex asked the same question: what's sparking your imagination these days? On this particular occasion, Altman's answer was different. The AI stuff was getting really good, he said. When Alex pushed for specifics, Altman told him they were getting close to AI that could read all your emails and tell you what to do for the week. It sounded completely insane.Alex filed it away. Then, a few weeks later, he was on a flight to Atlanta, sandwiched in the middle seat between 2 large men with nowhere to go and nothing else to do. He finally opened an OpenAI account and started building.That experience in a cramped middle seat sent AirOps in a new direction. The company had been founded to help non-technical employees access company data — a broad, useful product with no obvious north star. Knowing the paradigm was shifting and knowing what your company should actually do about it are different problems. Alex had to translate that conviction into a focus, which meant making a hard call. When a space is growing as fast as LLM applications were in 2022 and 2023, trying to be everything to everyone is a trap.The answer came from the data, not from a whiteboard. When the team looked at their heat map of usage, 1 cluster burned hotter than anything else: technical CMOs, leaders of 50 to 100 person marketing orgs, working nights and weekends inside AirOps building ambitious content systems. High-taste users with strong opinions and no patience for tools that couldn't meet their standard. The market was doing what markets do when they find something they want — it was insisting.By mid-2023, AirOps had committed fully. The customer was the high-taste marketing professional who wanted to build content systems at scale, not just generate more content. Every decision since has been built around that person. The most important pivots rarely happen in planning sessions. They happen when you actually use the thing, look at the data honestly, and trust what the market is telling you over the story you had planned to tell.Key takeaway: Look at your usage data and find the cluster of users who are working hardest and complaining most specifically — they are telling you who your product is actually for. Make time to try the tools reshaping your industry with your own hands. Alex's pivot started in a cramped middle seat he couldn't escape. Any open hour will do.The Real Definition of Content Engineering and Why It's Not About Publishing MoreMarketing teams have been chasing the wrong metric since LLMs went mainstream. The race defaulted to volume: how many posts, how fast, how much can you automate. That framing made sense in an era where more content meant more crawlable pages, more keywords, more surface area for Google to index. The era has changed.AI agents now sit between buyers and brands. When someone asks ChatGPT or Perplexity a question about your product category, an agent synthesizes content from across the web — your owned pages, third-party publications, Reddit threads, review platforms — and returns a single answer. That agent is not counting pages. It's evaluating quality, depth, freshness, and what Alex describes as information gain: the degree to which any given piece of content adds something new to what the model already knows.That's a meaningfully different standard. A 2022 blog post with outdated product language, stale statistics, and broken links doesn't rank lower in AI search — it's absent from it entirely. Webflow, 1 of AirOps's customers, saw what investing in content refresh workflows does to those outcomes: 42% more traffic and AI-attributed conversions performing 6x better than standard organic. That's a maintenance story, not a content production story.There's also a conflation doing a lot of damage in this conversation. Content written with AI assistance gets lumped together with content generated by AI with no original grounding or context. The studies that say "AI content performs poorly" tend to define AI content as the second category, and the conflation goes unexamined in most LinkedIn commentary. The distinction matters enormously. Content that draws on real interviews, proprietary data, internal expertise, and company-specific context performs differently from content that's a model recombining what already exists on the internet.The brands performing well in AI search right now are treating their content library as a living system with real quality standards — a garden that requires ongoing maintenance rather than a publishing archive. They're building workflows to keep content fresh, surface internal knowledge that's been sitting in Google Drive unused, and maintain what...

In this episode of Horse First, Lockie Phillips sits down with long-time collaborator and now teaching team member, Lori Halliday. This conversation explores a shift happening quietly within horsemanship—a movement that is less visible, less performative, and increasingly happening beneath the surface. Together, they discuss what it means to carry forward work that challenges traditional systems, and why meaningful change often doesn't happen in the spotlight. Using the idea of an “underground railroad” of horsemanship, this episode looks at how people are being guided—sometimes gently, sometimes reluctantly—out of dominance-based approaches and into something more honest, more humane, and more sustainable for the horse. They also explore the responsibility of teaching within this space, how to avoid guru dynamics as the work grows, and what it means to develop real authority without losing independence of thought. This is a conversation about quiet influence, long-term change, and the kind of work that doesn't need to announce itself to be effective. Because not all progress is visible. But it is happening.

Lucy Fenwick Elliott speaks to the team behind California Schemin' including director and co-star James McAvoy, as well as the films' stars Samuel Bottomley, Séamus McLean Ross, Rebekah Murrell and Lucy Halliday.  Based on an outrageous true story, CALIFORNIA SCHEMIN' is a wild ride through ambition, identity, and the high-stakes world of musical make-believe. In the early 2000's, Dundee rappers Gavin Bain and Billy Boyd were talented, hungry, but dismissed for sounding "too Scottish" to make it in hip hop. So they hatched an audacious plan: fake American identities, re-record their tracks with Californian accents, and hustle their way into the heart of the UK music industry as “Silibil N' Brains”—childhood friends of D12 and stars-in-the-making. To their shock, the plan works. Record deals, media buzz, and gigs with hip hop legends follow. But as their deception deepens, the pressure mounts and cracks begin to show. How long can you live the dream when it's built on a lie? With bold humour, raw emotion, and a defiant spirit, CALIFORNIA SCHEMIN' is a love letter to outsiders, underdogs, and the pursuit of fame—but asks, at what cost. Subscribe on Apple Podcasts.

By the mid-1800's, the River Thames was essentially a massive sewer. People poured their waste into it. They also drank from it. That combination resulted in thousands of deaths. People weren't sure what caused the deaths, but in the summer of 1858, when the temperatures rose and the water levels dropped, London stunk to high heaven. It took a lot of money, creativity, and an incredible act of civil engineering from Sir Joseph Bazalgette to fix the Great Stink. Remember, kids, history hoes always cite their sources!

PREVIEW-HALLIDAY-DRAKE-10.mp3. Otherlands: A Journey Through Earth's Extinct Worlds. Thomas Halliday. This excerpt features John Batchelor speaking with Thomas Halliday, the author of Otherlands: A Journey Through Earth's Extinct Worlds. Halliday describes the profound geological event that caused Antarctica to become ice-covered. Previously, the Antarctic Peninsula—including Seymour Island—was connected to Patagonia, maintaining a temperate climate with forests and diverse populations of mammals and birds. The cooling process began when the peninsula moved away from South America, opening the Drake Passage. This opening allowed the circumpolar current to form, isolating the weather system of the South Pole and preventing the exchange of warmth from South America and the tropics. This shift led to the emergence and spread of glaciers across the continent, a process that unfolded over tens of millions of years.

The focus is the Mammoth Steppe, described as the largest ecosystem on the planet. This cold, arid, grass-dominated environment stretched from Western Europe across Beringia into Alaska and the Yukon, managed by large herbivores like mammoths, woolly rhinos, and bison. Today, this entire community is essentially non-existent. The apex predator discussed is Arctodus Simus, the fearsomely large short-faced bear. The narrative then moves backward to the Pliocene, 4 million years ago, in the East African Rift Valley(Kenya/Ethiopia). This region, marked by sequences of ancient lakes, features a crucial mosaic environment of forests and grasslands. This mixed habitat was extremely important for the evolution of versatile, problem-solving organisms, including early human ancestors. The earliest species definitively known to be more closely related to humans than chimpanzees, Orrorin tugenensis, occupied this land. Halliday emphasizes exploring ecosystems that, while humans were present globally, were not yet heavily modified by human activity.

HEADLINE: The Zanclean Flood, Dwarfed Island Life, and Transatlantic Rafting in the Miocene and Oligocene BOOK TITLE: Other Lands, a journey through Earth's Extinct Worlds GUEST AUTHOR NAME: Thomas Halliday 200-WORD SUMMARY: This segment covers the Miocene and Oligocene eras. In the Miocene (5.3 million years ago), the Mediterranean basin dried out after losing its connection to the Atlantic at the Straits of Gibraltar. This basin was dramatically refilled during the spectacular Zanclean Flood, caused by an earthquake that allowed the Atlantic to surge back, resulting in a mile-high waterfall near Sicily. Before the flood, Gargano Island (now a peninsula in Italy) was home to dwarf fauna. Fossils recovered from its caves include Hoplomeryx, a deer-like organism characterized by saber teeth and five horns. Its main predators were giant birds, such as eagles and buzzard relatives. Moving to the Oligocene(33 million years ago), the discussion centers on South America as an island continent and the spread of grasslands. Grasses defended themselves with silica crystals, necessitating the evolution of specialized grazers with continually growing teeth, like early horses. A key evolutionary event was transoceanic rafting. African monkeys, rodents, freshwater fish, and amphibians crossed the Atlantic Ocean—which was two-thirds its modern width—on structurally sound fragments of land that detached during storms.

HEADLINE: Greenhouse Antarctica, the First Whales, and the Survival Strategies Post-Asteroid Impact BOOK TITLE: Other Lands, a journey through Earth's extinct world GUEST AUTHOR NAME: Thomas Halliday 200-WORD SUMMARY: This section begins in the Eocene (41 million years ago), a time of Greenhouse Earthcharacterized by no permanent polar ice, high CO2 (800 ppm), and temperatures about five degrees Celsius warmer than today. Seymour Island (West Antarctic Peninsula) hosted a diverse temperate rainforest before the onset of glaciation. The cooling process was triggered by the opening of the Drake Passage, which created the circum-polar current and isolated Antarctica from tropical warmth. Marine life included Pelagornis, a pseudo-toothed bird analogous to the albatross, and Basilosaurus, the first truly aquatic whale, which evolved from coastal predators. Despite the warmth, the Antarctic region still endured three months of total darkness in winter, requiring plants to drop their leaves. The conversation then shifts to the Paleocene following the K-Pg mass extinction. This extinction was caused by an exogenous asteroid strike in the Yucatan Peninsula, which halted photosynthesis worldwide for years due to atmospheric soot. Most animals larger than a small dog perished. The rapid diversification of mammals, specifically Eutherians (placental mammals), began immediately after the extinction event. Survival was facilitated by being small, insectivorous, and burrowing, which provided a stable environment against extreme temperature swings.

HEADLINE: Knuckle Walkers and the Discovery of Color in Cretaceous Dinosaurs BOOK TITLE: Other Lands, a journey through Earth's extinct worlds GUEST AUTHOR NAME: Thomas Halliday 200-WORD SUMMARY: This section focuses on the Cretaceous period, 125 million years ago, exploring the heyday of non-avian dinosaurs. Herbivores, such as the 17-meter-long titanosaurs, are described as "knuckle walkers" because they lost their finger bones and supported their immense weight on modified hand bones. The forests at this time were primarily composed of conifers, ginkos, and ferns, as flowering plants were only just beginning to emerge. The site of Liaoning, China, provides extraordinary preservation, allowing scientists to determine dinosaur coloration. By examining melanosomes (pigment packets) preserved at a subcellular level, researchers identified patterns, such as the black bandit stripe on Sinosauropteryx. Furthermore, the counter shading found on Psittacosaurus suggests it lived in a forested ecosystem. Defense mechanisms, similar to those seen in modern ecology, were also present. For instance, lace wings (Grammalysa) possessed eye spots on their wings, likely intended to mimic the eyes of a predator, most plausibly a small theropod dinosaur, thus providing a glimpse into Cretaceous signaling and ecology.

HEADLINE: Jurassic Sponge Reefs, Floating Wood, and the Triassic Glider Sharovipteryx BOOK TITLE: Other Lands, a journey through Earth's Extinct Worlds GUEST AUTHOR NAME: Thomas Halliday 200-WORD SUMMARY: This excerpt details events in the Jurassic and Triassic periods. The Jurassic (155 million years ago) was a time of recovery for marine reptiles like ichthyosaurs and plesiosaurs, following the Triassic-Jurassic extinction, likely caused by runaway climate change. Europe was a tropical archipelago at this time. The largest biological structure ever known was a 7,000 km long reef composed of glass sponges (silicon sponges) in the fringes of the Tethys Ocean. This reef provided a diverse ecosystem, supporting ammonites, fish, and marine reptiles. Unusually, wood floated for much longer than it does today because wood-boring shipworms had not yet evolved. Evidence shows fallen logs floating across oceans and adorned with filter-feeding organisms like sea lilies. Moving to the Triassic (225 million years ago), the focus is Madigan in Kyrgyzstan, Central Asia. This lake ecosystem provides a rare, well-preserved record of a terrestrial environment, notable for its extraordinary insect diversity, including most known Triassic families of beetles. A unique vertebrate found here is Sharovipteryx, a lizard-like gliding reptile that used a triangular membrane stretched between its exceptionally long hind legs to glide.

HEADLINE: Pangea's Mega-Monsoons, Coal Formation, and the Unclassifiable Tully Monster BOOK TITLE: Other Lands, a journey through Earth's Extinct Worlds GUEST AUTHOR NAME: Thomas Halliday 200-WORD SUMMARY: This segment examines the Permian and Carboniferous eras. In the Permian (253 million years ago), the single supercontinent Pangea caused a mega-monsoon system involving extreme seasonal wetness and dryness. Sites like Moradi, Niger, show creatures adapted to this arid environment. Organisms included the bulk herbivore Umoist and the apex predator Gorgonops, a close relative of mammals with large canines. This period was immediately followed by the "Great Dying," the largest mass extinction event in Earth's history. The Carboniferous (390 million years ago) saw the first extensive forests. As trees fell into vast, tropical swamps, the water inhibited decay, leading to the preservation of organic material that eventually formed the world's coal deposits. This process sequestered carbon, contributing to lower atmospheric carbon dioxide concentrations later in history. The final topic is the Tully Monster(Tullimonstrum), a small, torpedo-shaped creature with eyes on stalks that remains a profound paleontological mystery. It is intensely debated whether this organism is a vertebrate, and because it has no known descendants, it is classified as an evolutionary experiment that did not pan out.

HEADLINE: Life on Land Collaboration: Devonian Mycorrhizae and Silurian Deep-Sea Vents BOOK TITLE: Other Lands, A Journey Through Earth's Extinct Worlds GUEST AUTHOR NAME: Thomas Halliday 200-WORD SUMMARY: This source details the move of life onto land and the origins of ecosystems. In the Devonian(407 million years ago), life thrived through collaboration, notably the crucial partnership of Mycorrhizae (fungi and roots). This collaboration was essential for plants to develop roots and extract mineral resources from rocks, while the fungi gained energy from plant photosynthesis. Evidence from Rynie, Scotland—a Yellowstone-like ecosystem with hot springs—shows detailed preservation of these interactions. The largest organism on land at this time was Prototaxites, a lichen structure that grew up to 9 meters tall. Arthropods, such as the freshwater shrimp Rhyniella, were among the first animals to inhabit the land. The conversation shifts to the Silurian (435 million years ago) and the deep ocean. The site of Yaman-Kassie is the earliest known fossilized hydrothermal vent with organisms living on it. These deep-sea vents support life via a chemical-based food chain independent of light. Halliday references the major hypothesis that life itself originated at similar deep alkaline vents, based on replicable chemistry that naturally creates the necessary hydrogen ion gradients. The segment concludes with the Ordovician mass extinction (444 million years ago), the first of the "big five" mass extinctions, which was caused by global cooling followed by rapid warming, stressing marine life with a high rate of climate change.

HEADLINE: Cambrian Explosion, Apex Predators, and the Morphological Mysteries of the Ediacaran BOOK TITLE: Other Lands GUEST AUTHOR NAME: Thomas Halliday 200-WORD SUMMARY: This final segment explores the deep past, focusing on the Cambrian and Ediacaran periods. The Cambrian (520 million years ago) is known as the Cambrian Explosion, where representatives of all modern phyla (body plans) emerged, including early vertebrates. Sites like Chengjiang, China, illustrate this diversification. The apex predator of this era was Omnidens, a six-foot-long, many-legged arthropod that fed using a circular, spined mouth array. The emergence of predation fundamentally altered evolution, driving the development of armor, hard teeth, and the origin of eyes. Prior to the Cambrian was the Ediacaran (550 million years ago). Ediacaran organisms, which existed in a relatively peaceful pre-Cambrian world, were morphologically distinct from later life. Examples include the spiral-shaped Eoandromeda. The sea floor during this time was stabilized by microbial mats. Though life was bizarre, scientists are confident in classifying early life forms; for example, organisms like Dickinsonia are confirmed animals based on unique chemical markers such as cholesterol. Living Stromatolites (mounds of microbes) that persist today also existed during this time.

PREVIEW-HALLIDAY-ICE-10-19.mp3. Otherlands: A Journey Through Earth's Extinct Worlds. Thomas Halliday. Continuing his conversation with John Batchelor, Thomas Halliday, author of Otherlands: A Journey Through Earth's Extinct Worlds, explains that planet Earth exists in only two environmental states: greenhouse Earth and icehouse Earth. We currently live in an icehouse Earth, defined by the presence of ice at the poles, which is critical for planetary conditions and the evolution of life. The cooling of Antarctica resulted from the opening of the Drake Passage, which enabled the formation of the circumpolar current. Before this event, large parts of Antarctica, including Seymour Island, contained temperate rainforest ecosystems supporting diverse mammal communities and multiple penguin species. The circumpolar current prevented the exchange of warmth with the tropics, causing the continent to cool and glaciers to form and spread.
