Highbrow, Brilliant: The Adam Moss Approval Matrix — Adam Moss is probably painting today. He's not ready to share it. He may never be ready to share it. You see, this ASME Hall of Famer unabashedly labels himself as “tenth rate” with the brush. And he's okay with that. As Moss explains, it's not about the painting. After decades of creating some of the world's great magazines, he is throttling down. He's working with canvas, paint, and brush — and reveling in the thrill of making something, finally, for an audience of one.  It hasn't always been this way for Moss. Like most accomplished editors — like most serious creatives — Moss spent the better part of his career obsessed. Obsession is essential, he says, to the making of something great. Growing up on Long Island, Moss became obsessed with Esquire and New York magazines. “My parents were subscribers,” he says. “I was in the suburbs. I'd open them and it was my invitation to New York City. And to cosmopolitan life. And to sophistication.” And knowing that it was all happening just a short subway ride away made it irresistible. Moss's publishing portfolio is rotten with blue-blood brands: Rolling Stone, Esquire, The New York Times, and New York magazine. He's collaborated with editorial legends. In 1987 Moss decided to create something of his own. Invited to pitch an idea for a new magazine to the owners of The Village Voice, Moss did his song and dance. The folks in the boardroom were … unmoved. Afterwards, Moss retreated to the men's room to ponder his humiliation. Minutes later, Leonard Stern, the Voice's owner, took a spot at the next urinal, where he turned to Moss and said, “Okay, we'll do your magazine.” What Moss pitched was a city magazine called 7 Days. It only lasted two years. But two weeks after ceasing publication, 7 Days was presented the National Magazine Award for general excellence. The splash it created propelled Moss to The New York Times, where, in a few short years, he transformed the paper's Sunday supplement into an editorial magnet for creative talent, the Esquire or New York magazine of the 1990s. In 2004 Moss joined another venerable brand, New York magazine, where he not only completely reimagined the print magazine, he bear-hugged the encroaching internet menace, creating more than 20 new digital-only brands, five of which — Vulture, The Cut, Intelligencer, The Strategist, and Grub Street — remain heavyweights of modern online editorial. In 2019, Adam Moss ended his 15-year run at New York, saying, “I want to see what else I can do.” So … painting. — This episode is made possible by our friends at Commercial Type and Freeport Press.

In this episode, Carol says she's not as sipper, Nick believes her, and they help with publishing a poem and with sitting properly.

BT & Sal kick off the segment with a fiery, yet hilarious, linguistics lesson on the pronunciation of "sword," with BT's preferred "sword**"** (or "sword") sparking a comical debate about intellect and high-quality literature. The main discussion shifts to potential Yankees trade targets. The hosts dismantle a trade proposal for Ketel Marte, questioning the high asking price and his history of taking days off. The focus then turns to the "perfect fit": Steven Kwan. Sal argues that the elite, contact-hitting, Gold Glove left fielder is the ideal leadoff hitter the Yankees desperately need, contrasting him with the "analytics war" being waged by Boone and Cashman. Finally, they weigh the risks of signing free agent pitcher Michael King and debate if small, smart moves can round out the roster.

On the middle classes and cultural compression. For the concluding episode of the 2024/25 Reading Club, we discuss C. Wright Mills' White Collar, plus some additional short texts on what mass culture is like today. credit: Ryan Zickgraf, based on The Wilson Quarterly/Russell Lynes 1949   For the full episode, subscribe at patreon.com/bungacast Does Mills' account of the “economic psychology” of the White Collar worker still ring true today? What about their "political psychology"? What is the state of White Collar trade unionism today? Is there no possibility of the middle class leading a political movement? Do the distinctions of high- middle- and low-brow still make sense today, in our era of levelling-down and slop? Should we defend democracy in the economy and elitism in culture?

After decades in beauty and brand-building, celebrity colorist Kadi Lee and entrepreneur Myka Harris have created something refreshingly intentional: Highbrow Hippie, a Venice-based salon and lifestyle brand where artistry, wellness, and conscious living intersect.In this warm and unfiltered conversation, Kadi and Myka reflect on the long road from blog to brick-and-mortar, the failed investor partnership that taught them everything, and the intuition-meets-data mindset that guides their business decisions. They share how they built a community long before products, and how that trust became the foundation for a loyal global following.From the quiet luxury of their five-chair atelier to the holistic rituals behind their hair health line, the duo opens up about creating culture, hiring slow and firing fast, and funding a beauty brand on their own terms. They speak candidly about the realities of entrepreneurship as Black women, the exhaustion of the grind, and the unglamorous but necessary balance between creativity and financial fluency.With humor, honesty, and hard-won wisdom, Kadi and Myka remind us that building something enduring isn't about chasing perfection; it's about alignment, resilience, and the courage to keep going when no one else sees the vision yet.You'll Learn:[00:00] Introduction[02:37] How a Venice salon became a sanctuary where beauty and wellness truly intersect[06:44] The holistic insight that turned hair health into a wellness story, not a vanity one[09:52] Why pairing intuition with data changed everything in their product development process[12:26] The reason community came before product and how that built lifelong brand trust[15:03] What it takes to lead with values and speak truthfully, even when it polarizes people[18:32] How two longtime friends turned complementary strengths into a thriving partnership[20:10] The hidden cost of the grind and what “balance” really looks like for women founders[23:14] Why creatives must master business to sustain their artistry long-term[32:18] How losing the wrong investor opened the door to raising money on their own terms[36:52] The single mindset shift that helps them push through every obstacleUse code MAKERS15 for a discount at www.highbrowhippie.comResources Mentioned:Dream Ventures Accelerator | WebsiteHighbrow Hippie | WebsiteFollow Highbrow Hippie on Instagram.Follow Myka on Instagram and LinkedIn.Follow Kadi on LinkedIn.Follow Nancy Twine:Instagram: @nancytwinewww.nancytwine.comFollow Makers Mindset:Instagram: @makersmindsetspaceTikTok: @themakersmindsetwww.makersmindset.com

Kadi Lee is a celebrity hair colorist and the co-founder of Highbrow Hippie, a luxury beauty and wellness brand rooted in clean ingredients, intentional rituals, and timeless beauty.Growing up in a small town outside New York, Kadi learned to care for her own textured hair at just eleven, sparking a passion for beauty that would shape her life.

Guess who's bizzack! It's ya girls :) Have we been gone for far too long? Yes. Did we record this episode while the Olympics were still on? ...that's none of your business. But all that matters is we are so back! And since we've missed y'all so much, we wanted to review a movie that has been widely loved by critics and audiences alike- "Tyler Perry's Divorce in the Black." In this *cinematic masterpiece*, Ava and Dallas are in a tumultuous marriage which abruptly comes to an end when the already-checked out Dallas announces he wants a divorce. Though the divorce was his idea, Dallas is also somehow FURIOUS about it(???) and makes Ava's life a living hell, along with the lives of all of her loved ones. While marketed as a Thriller/Drama, "Divorce in the Black" just might be the funniest movie of 2024. "Divorce in the Black" is available to stream on Amazon Prime.

In this episode, we sit down with Michael Herwitz, the visionary director of Broadway's JOB. Join us as we delve into Michael's fascinating journey from child actor to director, uncover the creative process behind the success of JOB, and explore the themes that resonate with audiences across generations. Michael shares insights on the role of lighting and staging, the challenges of directing a two-person scene, and the open-ended interpretation of the play's conclusion. Discover how JOB bridges generational divides and engages audiences in meaningful conversations.  Follow and connect with all things @HalfHourPodcast on Instagram, and YouTube. Share your thoughts with us on JOB on our podcast cover post on Instagram. MICHAEL HERWITZ is a director, producer, and dramaturg in New York City. He is often found huddled around a new script in development or dreaming up a revival of a favorite musical. His directing work collides fantasy with the mundane, and is often representative of queer and/or Jewish communities. He creates where generosity of spirt and pursuit of excellence go hand-in-hand. Michael is a ferocious advocate for the fourth wall and believes every second act deserves a dream ballet. In Fall 2023, Michael made his directorial Off-Broadway debut with JOB by Max Wolf Friedlich. The twice-extended, sold-out run was a New York Times Critics Pick and hallmarked as "Highbrow and Brilliant" in New York Magazine's Approval Matrix. The commerical transfer at the Connelly Theater in 2024 recouped its investment in five weeks.   Born and raised outside New York City, Michael began his career as a child actor on Broadway. While stage managing his middle school musicals, he developed a deep passion for being behind the scenes. Michael has developed and staged new plays and musicals at HERE, Ensemble Studio Theater, JACK, SoHo Playhouse, Williamstown Theater Festival, IRT Theater, Lifeworld, Martha's Vineyard Playhouse, and the Pasadena Playhouse. As an Assistant, Michael has supported the work of Terry Kinney, Moritz von Stuelpnagel, Leigh Silverman, Jessie Nelson, and Joe Brancato.  In addition to his directing work, Michael has worked as a General Manager and Company Manager Off-Broadway and on tour. He is the Co-Founder of G45 Productions, an artistic collective dedicated to new plays. His education spans Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music and Art and Performing Arts to Northwestern University to the Williamstown Theatre Festival to watching countless movie musicals as a kid.

Ryan McCarl is a founding partner at Rushing McCarl LLP and author of Elegant Legal Writing.
