National cheesesteak day lands on March 24th, and we're celebrating the Philadelphia foodie favorite with Del Rossi's Cheesesteak Company's owner, Nish Patel.  Nish, who acquired ownership of Del Rossi's Cheesesteak Co pre-pandemic, completely renovated the space and its menu.  After bringing Chef Gregorio Fierro on as his confer, Chef Fierro implemented changes to the dough that inevitably enhanced the flavor & profiles of their menu.  Included in some of the changes made were artisanal options as well as sourcing their ingredients from the freshest and highest-quality purveyors, which garnered the tastiest Pizzas, Cheesesteaks, and coming-soon: Calazones, around! We then spoke with one of Bilal's Bakery & Deli co-owners, Chef Jamela Bilal.  This is not the first time one of the Bilal family members opened an eatery, nor their first business. Chef Bilal, whose parents also own and run a cleaning business in the Philadelphia region, has deep roots within the culinary community. Jamela's roots are within the Halal community, of which she owns and operates Halal To Go.  In addition to running her business, Chef Bilal also works with her family to run Bilal's Bakery located in Jenkintown, PA. A year-plus since they held their Grand Opening, the multi-generational family-owned Bilal's Bakery joined us on Food Farms and Chefs to discuss their baked goods; pre-packaged foods; and the impact that they have on their community as well as information on Ramadan and the schedule they'll keep during the month-long period of reflection, prayer, fasting.  This week's episode of Food, Farms, & Chefs is perfectly timed, since it also falls on International Whiskey Day (March 27th)!  As such, we spoke with New Liberty Distillery's Director of Visitor's Experience, Jacob Looney.  Together, we unraveled the lengthy history behind New Liberty Distillery and their Owners, and even included their close-knit bond with Ireland. Collectively, Robert Cassell and Steven Grasse own several Distilleries in the US, and collaborate with a company called The Connacht Distillery in Ireland.  The duo operates under their parent company, named Milestone spirits Group, offering a wide variety of whiskeys; bourbons; liqueurs and aperitifs.  So if you fancy a flight of whiskey, set up a tour at New Liberty Distillery with Jacob, and afterwards feel free to taste their award-winning libations for yourselves.

En este episodio venimos con un tema que no pasa desapercibido en la historia. El Tarot es una práctica que pasa de ser un juego de salón en el Medievo a un elemento de adivinación relacionado con los símbolos arquetípicos, la filosofía y el arte, como lo hace el cineasta contemporáneo Alejandro Jodorowsky. Echemos las cartas y les invitamos a opinar sobre el tema que no deja de inquietar a creyentes e increyentes, a fieles e infieles...

EP19 Jamela Alindogan -Journalist Jamela is an award winning self described belligerent journalist who has worked for Al Jazeera as their South East Asia correspondent in the Philippines for more than a decade. She is one of the recipients of the Ten Outstanding Young Men and Women of the Philippines. She was recognized by the Swedish Embassy and UNESCO with nine other female journalists from around the world for the work they have done in journalism "for defying hate speech and threats, pursuing mission of providing citizens with the information needed to make enlightened decisions about their lives, their communities and their governments." More recently she started the Sinagtala Foundation after being inspired by the struggle of Muslim women in Marawi during the siege and with bombs falling all around she put up this foundation that has given hope to the women whose lives and homes have been destroyed by conflict and death. They have built toy libraries for the displaced children and taught the women how to weave putting them in touch once more with their traditions and giving them a reason to hope for the future. In this conversation we talk about her fears and what has driven her for more than a decade working in some of the most dangerous places in asia. She was almost kidnapped a number of times, gone on clandestine assignments to interview rebel leaders like Nur Misuari, and even detained and jailed in Sabah during her coverage of the Lahad Datu standoff in 2013. From being a journalist and humanitarian and a mother and wife we talk about her life and what makes her lace up her boots and jump on that plane, boat, or 4x4 to bring us the stories that need to be told from the people that have no voices.

Jamela is upset about the lack of new Dungeons & Doritos, but Cap has a proposal on how you can pass the time. We're going to PodTales a festival of audio drama and audio fiction. It's free, it's in Cambridge, MA, and it's on October 20th. More info here: https://podtales.org/ We've got a table (A5/6 in the Mt. Absalom room) and several panels including this one at 2PM: "Living in the Moment: Writing Through Improvisation" in The Hephaestus (Second Floor). Hosted by Cap and featuring Hem "Volonda" Cleveland (The Lucky Die, Dark Dice) Natasha Haverty & Brendan Pelsue (We Are Not These People), Sean Howard (Civilized, Alba Salix: Royal Physician, The End of Time and Other Bothers). The first storytellers didn't sit around plotting – they lived in the moment and collaborated with others to tell taller tales! Our panel shares the secrets of wielding spontaneity and collaboration as tools for creating unprecedented drama, laughs, and realism in your stories - as well as how to craft recording environments to enhance and manipulate your cast's performances, how to plot without a script, and how to elevate improvised material to audio excellence with scripted revisions and cinematic production.

Christian is back in the Red Room for Ep. 70 of We Don't Even Know.  Shonali and Christian can't help but spread the word of the phenomenal soul r&b pop hip hop artist Lizzo after seeing her live show just a few days earlier. We quickly move from self-love to self-mutilation - you sort of could call it that - waxing is not so popular these days is it? That's the question.  Bushes are back in  - well that's what Shonali thinks.  Shonali and Christian's first guest is writer Jamela Zahra (@ 00:12:35).  She explodes on to the podcast with an unpleasant waxing story.  Jamela grew up with MTV and always wanted to be a VJ. Her dream was to kick a blunt with Janet Jackson.  We believe that dream will come true.  Jamela has a website called HighHowAreYou.com geared to women who smoke cannabis, especially women of color.  Jamela's ultimate goal is to break down the stigma of smoking pot for black people.  After saying she herself should have her own brand of weed, she confessed she would like to have her own cookie company.  Mackenzie Besos if you're listening, we've found a good cause for you to support.     Our second guest is Kate Willett (@00:38:37) is from the Bay Area in Cali and Shonali has flashbacks of rope sandals, unflushed toilets to when she lived in Santa Cruz, CA.  Kate just made an appearance on Stephen Colbert which we will all get to see later this summer. Do you know what makes social media enjoyable? Kate has been spending time working on art she cares about, such as a book about contemporary masculinity with the working title "Good Guys."  We can't wait to read it.  The convo moves from deep hippie state to hookup culture - the good, the bad, the ugly. Kate is and has been doing great things including touring in India, China and Australia. Kate's brand of comedy in India blows Shonali's mind.  Check out Kate's special on Netflix!  We #GetItOffYourChest (@1:02:00) with WDEK's great friend Mike Stuto! Christian would like to have the ear of his periodontist.  Shonali explains what is supposed to happen in "the Quiet Lounge" at a spa.  Mike Stuto will not have it anymore with the pretentiousness of vinyl lovers, which means he's talking about Shonali.  Our last guest is writer, singer, rocker Lenny Zenith, (@1:13:28) originally from NOLA and currently a long time New Yorker.  As a kid, Lenny went to school at the New Orleans Center for Creative Arts along with fellow students such as Wynton and Branford Marsalis and Harry Connick, Jr. Lenny explains that even though his music has roots in new wave and punk rock, the aforementioned jazz artists were deeply influential on him, in terms of witnessing their talent, persistence and work ethic.  Lenny is transgender and shares with WDEK an inspirational story of transitioning as a 14 year old in New Orleans.  Lenny moved to NYC ready to rock and was a member of Jenifer Convertible, Tenterhooks and RZA.  Only recently has Lenny been recording under his own name, Lenny Zenith.  Lenny sings two of his songs during this episode, including a brand new unrecorded tune and one on his latest record What If The Sun called The Wish.   Thanks to our WDEK crew, Daria Huxley our photographer, Justin The Intern  - Justin Hall for our great intros, Ezana Million our sound engineer and Lori Schwarz our Red Room hostess and bartender! Special thanks to Lenny who sold CDs after the show with proceeds going towards trans people of color.  Thank you ALL! Follow us on all social media @wdekpodcast !  

Cannabis advocate and activist Jamela Zarha sits down to talk all things cannabis, as far as legalization efforts and how social justice comes into play. It's a great convo with some great perspective from Jamela, which led to some very positive and productive items popping up. Jamela is the owner and main queen of green over at HighHowAreYou.com, a cannabis-centered site with news, culture, and random but amusing musings. She's also a great follow over on them Twitters, and you can (and should) follow her at @JamelaZarha as well. Songs for this episode include Hits From the Bong by Cypress Hill and Outta Sight by the inimitable James Brown. This podcast is powered by ZenCast.fm

In this episode Dan & Danny are joined by Jamela (@_melaababyy). Jamela is a 27 year old single mother and photographer from Fayetteville NC. She sits down with the guys to discuss falling in love during a situationship, relationship PTSD, and proper date confirmation etiquette.

Having been raised overseas as a third culture kid, diversity has always been an important factor for Jamela. She attended boarding school on the east coast, then went on to pursue a B.A. in economics from the University of Southern California and a Masters Degree in Finance & Accounting from Kingston University in England. She started Kahmune shortly after when she noticed a gap in the market for skin tone products for dark skinned women such as herself. Having spent the majority of her childhood overseas in the Middle East, it is this international experience that Jamela cites as the reason she is so passionate about diversity and inclusion. With no formal background in fashion design, she credits her desire to fill a much needed gap in the market and life long love of fashion as driving factors in her quest to create change in the industry.

Back from the brink of death, the party finds themselves remarkably more doomed than they were before! A pack of wolves intended to lead the wounded Barty, Jamela, Lefty, and Bogo out of the Jötunnden; only to be intercepted by a god-like ruler of the woods and from there... all hell breaks loose as every freaky animal in the forest gets unleashed and even the plants do their damnedest to help our heroes to a swift demise. Can they survive another lethal onslaught from this magical forest? And if they make it out, what high price will this fool's errand cost? This will be our last episode for a while, see our prior D&D bulletin for details on this unscheduled hiatus.

Deep in the Jötunnden, a forest overrun with magicks and infested with savage beasts, our heroes lay dying. What should have been a simple rescue mission went horrifically wrong and saw Jamela, Barty, Lefty, and Bogo face off against towering man-eaters with iron hides. They beat their foes, but at a terrible cost. Bogo and Lefty are bleeding out, Barty was crushed, and Jamela fell unconscious. They're far from help and woefully unprepared. Pray for healing checks and pray for powerful rolls, 'cause luck and wits are the only things that can get them out of this. After all, we may be an audio drama, but the roleplaying is real, and so is the character death. Just ask Krath.

A risky rescue mission sees our heroes lost in a magic forest that makes even the Northlanders jumpy. Somewhere, out in the all-consuming mists lurk the Jötunn - massive, monstrous man-eaters that did a number on poor ol' Shovel Guy and abducted some of Lefty's crew. Now the Pirate Queen, Jamela, Barty, and Bogo are on the hunt, but soon find themselves hunted.

Our heroes have themselves a flying boat! ...Kinda. It's a start. But unfortunately the dwarf who made it possible is none too happy about having her skills put to use by Northlander brutes and is fixing to fly the coop. That, coupled with new problems with Palaver, have the party hustling to navigate choppy social waters - and we all know how good they are at that! Barty, having boned up on his wolfen ways, is determined to return to Doritodan and conquer the lycanthrope who gave him hair in strange places. Lefty and Jamela are hellbent on returning to the Isle of Mages in hopes of gathering reinforcements. Shovel Guy wants to bury Black Pepper Jack. And Bogo... he's blissfully unaware of his friends' complex problems, but that's not going to stop him from getting tangled up in the mess they're making.

Desperately seeking Dwarven magic? Better go on a rune quest! Our party bravely ventures into realms where even Northlanders fear to tread in hopes of finding a Dwarf to do them a solid. It's off to the treacherous, geologically active region called "The Dragon's Bed" to hunt for some answers. Unfortunately there's something much worse than geysers bursting from the ground: an inexplicable horror is on the prowl and leaving puddles of corrosive goo in its wake. Good thing Jamela, Barty and Lefty brought along a new pal! Introducing a musclebound duckbunny of a Northlander named Bogo; played by Ghostbusters: Resurrection's Doug Banks! If the party can just stop arguing long enough, they might be able to make it out alive.

The clear and present danger of Barty's newly-acquired lycanthropy is no laughing matter. (Okay, well, it definitely is a bit - just not for Barty.) After the "incident" from last episode and with the full moon only a day away... there's a definite cause for concern. Fortunately the Northlanders make good on their promise and our lovable scamp is off to meet the Berzerkergang: a revered pack of shapeshifters. While Barty endures some hard lessons and a fair helping of wolf-mansplaining, Lefty and Jamela have to solve another problem... A certain slippery devil has gotten loose, and if they don't find him there could be hell to pay.

In dangerous lands, surrounded by massive Northlanders, with the full moon a mere day away... our heroes are in a bad way. Fortunately, the musclebound and deadly warriors of the North have reason to strike a bargain with the puny Southerners. Unfortunately, it involves a mysterious flying ship and rescuing a captive from a rival war party. Deep in unknown terrain, battling hulking foes on their home turf, the party is going to have to use all their skills and pray to the dice gods... Tiamat... Flamas... any deity who's listening, that they survive this ferocious battle. And, with the odds stacked against them, can Lefty and Jamela keep a leash on the increasingly feral Barty?For links and more info, head to the main episode page:http://nerdyshow.com/2017/01/dungeons-doritos-barty-hard/ See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.

An all-new chapter in Nerdy Show’s epic RPG podcast, Dungeons & Doritos! Bear with us here... things went wrong! The party escaped a monster-infested city within an inch of their lives, but not unscathed - Barty got bit. Now our lovable scamp has a beast inside him, and he's getting hair in strange places! What's more, Barty's main squeeze, Princess Jalapeño has been overthrown. They've got to win back the kingdom against usurpers and otherworldly creatures and find a cure for their teammate. It's a race against the full moon as the party embarks on a quest to find a mage, a healer, a shaman - someone - ANYONE who knows anything about lycanthropy. Now, in the middle of nowhere, Jamela, Lefty, and Barty (with Black Pepper Jack in tow) are hot on the trail of a guy who might know a thing or two. They might get some answers... if the bears don't get them first.

Something sinister lurks beneath the streets of Doritodan. The once proud capital city is in ruin. Its districts teem with vile creatures of every kind. Nowhere is safe - least of all the sewers! Naturally, that's where our heroes find themselves: ankle-deep in danger! The party is hot on the trail of Barty's old squeeze Princess Porquer Jalapeño, a fiery royal out to liberate her kingdom from darkness. But there's no darkness greater than the underground, and Barty, Vimak, Lefty, and Jamela will need to steel themselves against a silent, stalking killer. Are our heroes the hunters or the hunted? Can they handle the suspense? Can you? Thrill to this tale of comedic horror and roleplaying gone awry! When even the Game Master is surprised by what happens, you know the stakes are high!

Our heroes are in dire danger! Ever since Vimak, Jamela, and Lefty broke their comrade Barty out of prison they've been pursued by the nefarious bounty hunter, Black Pepper Jack. Jack's got some serious beef and Barty's got a whopping bounty on his head, but now that the party is under the sword, things have taken an unexpected turn. Some explaining is in order! Diplomacy isn't the D&D crew's strong suit, but they're under the sword and unprepared for this delicate predicament. Will Barty's sordid history finally catch up with him? How far will the party go to evade Jack's smarmy clutches? Their mission, should they choose to accept it, will take them on deadly ground - deep into the heart of Doritodan, capitol city of the land, where something has gone very, very wrong.

It’s Adventures in Barty-Sitting! Lefty & Jamela get stuck keeping watch over their fugitive comrade; so naturally they head out on the high-seas! But it’s not all tanning butter and mojitos – no such luck. Instead, the crew find themselves stalked by skull-faced islanders and trapped in a mysterious temple filled with dark magick. With no healer, an unequipped Barty, and a foe the likes of which they’ve never encountered – the forecast looks bleak for our adventurers. Fortunately for Jamela, there’s at least one silver lining: a hunky paladin with a penchant for divine light. Crunch along with Cap, Colin, Lefty, and Ruel as they try to roll their way out of another dicey predicament!

The lovable rogue Barty has been imprisoned. It’s up to his old “friends” – Vimak, the noble Goliath, Jamela, the sensual Dragonborn, and Lefty, the pirate queen, to bust him out of the slammer. But Barty’s incarceration isn’t the country club variety. He’s been tortured by a disturbing man with devious plans and is being taken to see the ominously named “Head Man”. Can the rescue party break into the most feared prison in the realm in time to save him? Will they come to their senses and leave Barty to rot? And if they break in – can they ever break out?

Barty Gleem’n persists in fulfilling his bargain for free drinks with the barkeep: spinning the most amazing tale he’s ever heard – the story of how this strange party found themselves in this very pub!

And with that, Barty recounts his tale from the moment he first set eyes on Vimak the Goliath, Chair the dwarf, Jen’Ifer the Tiefling, and Jamela the Dragonborn – a tale that would be the stuff of legend …should anyone be mad enough to believe it.

Journey to the magical land of Doritodonia, and embark on a mayhem-filled, morally-questionable quest for wealth, honor, and crunchy corn chips! Dungeons & Doritos started as a one-shot episode of Nerdy Show where hosts Cap, Brian, Hex, and Triforce Mike were joined by ninja rapper DM Masurao of Krondor Krew to play 4th Edition Dungeons & Dragons. The episode was so popular it became its own series and the legend begins here! Enter Jen’Ifer the ego-maniacal tiefling sorcerer, Chair – a dining room chair transformed into a naked and crazed dwarf, Vimak the fish-out-of-water goliath shaman, and Jamela the overly sensual dragonborn. In this first quest, these four mismatched warriors venture into a kobold-infested keep to save dwarven miners from a White Dragon Wyrmling. But will their reward of Doritos be worth the torment of each other’s company? Dungeons & Dragons will never be the same again. This remastered edition of our first episode from 2009 presents fully restored and remixed audio – hear classic Dungeons & Doritos like you’ve never heard it before!Links and more info: http://nerdyshow.com/2015/04/dnd1-remastered/Learn more about your ad choices.
