In a year clouded by economic uncertainty, you'd think investors would be clinging to their cash. But by the looks of things, maybe not? This episode also features an interview with acclaimed Boston-based chefs Jamie Bissonnette and Kenta Katagai as they take us behind the scenes of an unforgettable culinary collaboration. Show notes: 0:45: NYC In Full Effect. $30 Million For Ryl & Pop. Good Eat'n. Hark, I See Sweets! Cologne?

Held at ReThink Food's Community Kitchen, the event spotlighted compelling conversations with brand leaders and featured a showcase of cutting-edge products that had everyone talking — and sampling. They also break down two eye-catching $15 million funding rounds: one for Culture Pop and another for Ryl Tea, reflecting the surging demand for functional, better-for-you beverages. Later in the episode, the hosts dive into a lineup of crave-worthy salty snacks from a brand backed by NBA star Chris Paul and share their take on a bold new line of tonic waters with standout packaging that turns heads. 30:03: Interview: Jamie Bissonnette & Kenta Katagai, Zurito & Sushi @ Temple Records – A celebrated culinary force in Boston and beyond, Jamie is the co-founder of BCB3 Hospitality Group, the team behind four standout restaurants in the city, including Zurito, a Basque-inspired eatery, and Temple Records, a stylish cocktail bar channeling the vibe of 1950s Japanese listening lounges. Nestled beneath Temple Records is Sushi @, an intimate, subterranean sushi bar led by Kenta's meticulous direction. In this interview, Jamie reflects on his journey from a young chef cutting his teeth in the restaurant business to crafting a dynamic, globally inspired dining experience. Kenta shares how his deep respect for heritage and simplicity drives every slice and plate. Together, they dive into the art of educating diners, the power of narrative, and the joy of staying true to their vision – all while delivering unforgettable meals that resonate far beyond the plate.

Since the 1980s, Donald Trump has been railing against what he calls unfair trade with a focus on Japan and then China. Also during the '80s, President Reagan, remembered as a free trader, was an interventionist when it came to the closed Japanese market. A decade later, Bill Clinton threatened punitive tariffs on Japanese luxury cars. Moreover, the question of what to do about the decline in U.S. manufacturing and living standards has weighed on policymakers and the working class for 40 years. In this episode, historian Nelson Lichtenstein traces the origins of today's backlash to free trade as President Trump tries, with the blunt force instrument of tariffs, to undo global economic arrangements decades in the making.

Mothers Against War: Gender, Motherhood, and Peace Activism in Cold War Japan (U Hawaii Press, 2025) examines the shifting relationships among motherhood, peace activism, and women's rights in the decades following Japan's defeat in 1945. With a focus on the concept of bosei, generally understood to be the "motherly" qualities that are supposedly inherent to women, the book illuminates how popular perceptions of the mother, the child, and the mother-child relationship gradually evolved to create the image that mothers, more than anyone else, protect children from war. This image did not result simply from a mothers' desire to keep their children safe, nor was it the outcome of the Japanese experience of the Asia-Pacific War in which many mothers became widowed or lost their children.  Through the examination of five instances of peace activism that took place between 1945 and 1980, Akiko Takenaka argues that the maternal focus of Japanese women's peace activism emerged from a convergence of various interests, including the security alliance between Japan and the United States, Japan's Cold War-era political strategies, and Japanese women's fight for increased rights. Mothers Against War demonstrates how Japanese women's attempts to activate the concept of bosei to gain more rights also worked to confine them into domesticity. This is the first scholarly monograph to make this connection between Japan's matricentric peace activism and the fight for women's rights. Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us a textThe 2024 Golden Trail Series kicks off in Japan with the technically challenging Kobe Trail race, and we've got the complete preview to get you ready for all the action. This 21K mountain course packs a serious punch with nearly 7,000 feet of climbing across four increasingly difficult loops, culminating in a brutal final climb that will separate the contenders from the pretenders.What makes this race particularly fascinating is the unique intersection of skills required – pure climbing strength versus technical descending prowess. The Japanese terrain features slick roots, rocks, and challenging singletrack that caused several DNFs last year when Philemon Kiriago twisted his ankle while running in the lead pack. This technical challenge especially favors athletes with orienteering backgrounds, potentially giving an edge to competitors like Switzerland's Joey Hadron.We break down the surprisingly thin elite field (compared to typical Golden Trail events), analyzing why many top athletes chose to skip this opener and how that creates a strategic advantage for those who made the journey to Japan. On the men's side, defending champion Patrick Kipngeno returns as the clear favorite, coming off remarkable training blocks in Kenya with 120+ mile weeks. For the women, newly-signed Norda athlete Joyce Njeru faces strong challenges from technical specialists Sarah Alonso and Malin Osa in what promises to be a fascinating tactical battle.Whether you're following the Golden Trail Series all season or just love expert race breakdowns, this episode delivers insider knowledge on course specifics, athlete preparation, and bold predictions for who might take home the win. The conversation also explores broader themes in the sport including sponsor dynamics, athlete development, and the strategic importance of early-season race selection in a championship year.This episode was brought to you by Ultimate Direction, use code steepstuffpod for 25% off your next purchase on ultimatedirection.comFollow James on IG - @jameslaurielloFollow Nick on IG - @nick.tusaFollow the Steep Stuff on IG - @steepstuff_pod

Trade Negotiations with Japan: President Trump met with Japanese officials to discuss trade negotiations, resulting in positive feedback on social media. Discussions included military support costs and trade fairness. Japan has a long-standing military alliance with the US, with many American troops stationed in Okinawa. Japan's Prime Minister stated that Japan won't rush to reach a deal and does not plan to make big concessions. Global Tariff Policies: Trump announced a 10% baseline tariff on nearly every country, with higher reciprocal tariffs on significant trading partners like Japan, Vietnam, the EU, and China. A 90-day pause on higher tariffs was announced for all countries except China, which faced a 245% tariff on imports to the US. The Chinese regime responded with higher tariffs on US products, leading to a rapid back-and-forth in the trade war. China's Response: China appointed Lee Chong as its new trade negotiator, signaling a potential shift in negotiation style. Lee has a background in the WTO and supports free trade. The Chinese Foreign Ministry expressed a willingness to negotiate, indicating a change in rhetoric. Trump's Broader Policies: Trump emphasized the need for fair trade and national security, particularly concerning semiconductors and the electronic supply chain. The administration's authority to detain migrants at Guantanamo Bay is expanding, targeting those with connections to transnational criminal organizations.

Built around a game of Braille Scrabble, Emma Tracey presents a celebration of Braille, 200 years after it was invented. Emma, who's been blind since birth, talks to others who love the six tiny dots: Geerat Vermeij, one of the world's leading experts in molluscs; Yetnebersh Nigussie, an Ethiopian lawyer, who describes her blindness as ‘a lottery I won at the age of 5'; Sheri Wells-Jensen, a linguistics professor who's been a linguistic consultant on Star Trek and is on the US advisory board for messaging extra-terrestrial intelligence; Japanese concert pianist, Nobuyuki Tsujii, who learnt to play using Braille music; and Emma's friend and Scrabble partner, Ellie. And there's a chance encounter with the most famous Braille user of them all, Stevie Wonder. But can Braille survive with the ever-increasing supply of tech that allows blind people to listen to, rather than feel, information? Presenter: Emma Tracey Producer: Adele Armstrong Sound design: Steve Brooke Editor: Richard Fenton-Smith

The hosts explore a variety of topics ranging from nostalgic references to the classic show Dragnet, to discussions about fishing laws, the struggles of sea turtles, the behavior of killer whales, and the unique migration patterns of crabs. They also delve into culinary curiosities, debating the edibility of various unusual foods and the experiences of trying new things. The conversation is light-hearted and filled with humor, making it an enjoyable listen for anyone interested in nature and food. In this lively conversation, the hosts explore a variety of topics ranging from the taste of raw and sweetened coconut to the unique Japanese method of wood preservation known as Shoshugiban. They discuss the practicality of flooding a restaurant with clean water as a protective measure and share humorous anecdotes about dining experiences. The conversation also touches on MIT's booby trap tradition and the complexities of sharing music preferences among friends, highlighting the intersection of personal privacy and social connections. In this conversation, the hosts explore various themes surrounding music, church culture, and societal norms. They discuss the evolution of romantic music, the changing landscape of church music, and the cultural references that shape modern church services. The conversation takes a humorous turn as they analyze a controversial church advertisement that coincides with 420, leading to deeper theological discussions about God and suffering. The hosts also reflect on the irony and humor found in religious contexts, particularly in relation to societal expectations and norms.

This week on The Leftovers, never-before-heard audio from Danielle Chang, host of Lucky Chow on PBS. And Rachel Belle takes a very special field trip to Seattle’s Mixed Pantry, a beautifully curated specialty foods shop that exclusively sells Asian and Asian American-made products. On last week’s episode of Your Last Meal, Danielle told Rachel she never goes anywhere without a little vial of high-quality soy sauce in her purse. So Rachel popped into Mixed Pantry for a soy sauce tasting, a fun activity open to anyone who visits. The shop sells soy sauces from several countries, but the tasting centers around the five standard types of Japanese shoyu, owner Tak Kunimune’s specialty. You’ll learn the difference between mainstream commercial soy sauces and traditional barrel-aged ones; how Kikkoman came to be America’s go-to soy sauce; and Tak’s tips on what to cook with each one. Then, a lightning round with Danielle Chang! She shares her favorite Chinatown snack (she's a big fan of the neighborhoods around the world), the Asian dessert she always wants for her birthday and so much more.

Elliott Wave Analyst Mark Galasiewski foresees Gold leading a multi-decade commodities and miners bull market. Bitcoin and info-tech will decline. The U.S. Dollar will fall; but emerging markets will prosper. Interest rates have now entered a long-term rate rising cycle.

Since joining EWI, Mark has presented at several investment conferences in Asia and has been interviewed by and featured in major media outlets such as Bloomberg TV Asia, India's CNBC TV-18 and ET Now, the South China Morning Post, Bloomberg newswire, Dow Jones Asia newswire, Barron's, Forbes, and Press Trust India.

ollowing on from opening her exhibition at the Whitney Museum of American Art, which continues until August, the US-born, Berlin-based artist Christine Sun Kim this week opened a show in London in collaboration with Thomas Mader. The exhibition, 1880 THAT, uses a notorious historic conference in Milan in 1880, which effectively outlawed sign language in Deaf education, as a springboard to explore languages and stigma in Deaf and hearing cultures today. Ben Luke discusses the show with Kim and Mader. In Abu Dhabi, the latest museum devoted to the interactive art of the Japanese collective teamLab opens this week in the Saadiyat Cultural District. The Art Newspaper's reporter in the Middle East, Melissa Gronlund, has visited the museum and tells us more about teamLab's newest immersive experience. And this episode's Work of the Week is Young Woman seated at a Virginal (1670-75), a painting by Jan Vermeer that may be the very last picture he ever made. Our special correspondent, Martin Bailey, tells us how new conservation of the picture has revealed that 17th-century pollution may hold the key to dating the painting.1880 THAT: Christine Sun Kim and Thomas Mader, Wellcome Collection, London, until 16 November; Christine Sun Kim: All Day All Night is at the Whitney Museum of American Art, New York, until 6 July.teamLab: Phenomena, Abu Dhabi, opens 18 April.From Rembrandt to Vermeer: Masterpieces from The Leiden Collection, H'ART Museum, Amsterdam, until 24 August.Subscription offer: enjoy a three-month digital subscription to The Art Newspaper for just £3/$3/€3.

In this episode of "Shark Theory," host Baylor Barbee reflects on an intriguing culinary adventure that inspired a broader discussion on curiosity and the pursuit of new experiences. He shares a story about discovering a unique Japanese dish called Okonomiyaki and the lengths he went to satisfy his curiosity. Although initially faced with the struggle to find the dish, Baylor emphasizes the importance of pursuing what sparks interest in life, suggesting that taking action steps toward our curiosity can lead to unexpected and rewarding outcomes. The episode intricately weaves together Baylor's personal experience of venturing out of his comfort zone with advice on embracing the unpredictable nature of life's journey. By sharing how he initially missed noticing the culinary delight and then taking deliberate steps to retrace and explore it, Baylor illustrates the importance of not waiting for the "right time" to chase what excites us.  Key Takeaways: Pursue Curiosity: Act on what sparks your interest immediately; don't postpone your curiosity-driven goals. Embrace Unpredictability: True opportunities often lie a bit out of the way; they don't always align with what you think should be convenient. Expand Your Horizons: Cross familiar boundaries to challenge yourself and unlock new possibilities. Limitations Are Self-Imposed: Often, we underestimate our potential by adhering to strict comfort zones. Action Over Contemplation: To grow and succeed, transform curiosity into actionable steps that propel you forward. Notable Quotes: "You have to chase what sparks your curiosity. But the caveat to that is you have to chase it now." "Everything great in life is going to be a little out of the way." "We live in such a distracted world... to find something that genuinely interests you, that's a blessing." "What you're chasing is going to be a little out of the way. It's not going to look exactly like you think it's going to look all the time." "If it sparks your curiosity, you have to pursue it."

Tom welcomes back Martin Armstrong from Armstrong Economics to explore current global economic trends, geopolitical tensions, and market reactions. Armstrong discusses how governments worldwide are facing declining trust due to progressive agendas, citing examples like Germany's shift toward far-right parties and Europe's struggles with migration. Armstrong highlights the cyclical nature of political movements, referencing Trump's 2016 victory as a starting point for this global anti-government sentiment. He also touches on free speech restrictions, drawing parallels between historical financial suppression in Europe and today's broader censorship trends. Regarding U.S.-China trade tensions, Armstrong explains that tariffs are often misunderstood, citing historical context from the 1930s to show they don't cause economic collapses but can lead to trade wars. He critiques media coverage for sensationalism, particularly Bloomberg's recent claims about market corrections, arguing these panic-inducing narratives mislead investors. Armstrong also delves into Trump's policies, questioning his understanding of general economic and suggesting that lower corporate taxes could boost competitiveness. However, he warns against blaming Trump for broader economic declines, which he attributes to global trends rather than individual leaders. The discussion shifts to gold's role as a safe haven during geopolitical instability, with Armstrong emphasizing its historical correlation with war and political uncertainty.

He is the former chairman of Princeton Economics International Ltd. He is best known for his economic predictions based on the Economic Confidence Model, which he developed. At age 13, Armstrong began working at a coin and stamp dealership in Pennsauken, New Jersey. After buying a bag of rare Canadian pennies, he became a millionaire in 1965 at the age of 15. He continued to work on weekends through high school, finding the real-world exciting, for this was the beginning of the collapse of the gold standard. Martin became captivated by this shocking revelation that there were not just booms and busts, but also peaks and valleys that would last centuries. Armstrong progressed from gold coin investments to following commodity prices for precious metals. In 1973, he began publishing commodity market predictions as a hobby, and in 1983 Armstrong began accepting paid subscriptions for a forecast newsletter. "In Armstrong's view of the world where boom-bust cycles occur like clockwork every 8.6 years, what matters is his record as a forecaster. He called Russia's financial collapse in 1998, using a model that also pointed to a peak just before the Japanese stock market crashed in 1989. These days, as the European sovereign-debt crisis roils markets worldwide, he reminds readers of his October 1997 prediction that the creation of the euro "will merely transform currency speculation into bond speculation," leading to the system's eventual collapse." His Website Armstrong Economics offers a unique perspective intended to educate the public and organizations on the global economic and political environment's underlying trends.

On this edition of Parallax Views, the biggest wrestling event of the year is only days away: WrestleMania. Billed as the "Showcase of the Immortals," WrestleMania is the marquee event of World Wrestling Entertainment and has been going strong for over 40 years. On April 19th and 20th, WWE will present WrestleMania 41. Yes—FORTY-ONE. Ahead of the big event, I spoke with Gary from the YouTube channel Grapplevision—one of the most unique and compelling voices in pro wrestling media today. While most wrestling YouTubers focus on current events or canonical moments like the Montreal Screwjob, Hulk Hogan's heel turn, or Mick Foley's infamous fall off the Hell in a Cell, Grapplevision dives into the ghosts and glitches of wrestling history. It's a channel immersed in what you might call phantom histories: forgotten figures, obscure promotions, uncanny storylines, and the lingering specters of wrestling's carny roots. What sets Grapplevision apart is its unmistakably hauntological aesthetic—think VHS degradation, lost tapes, and late-night public access weirdness. The channel's documentaries are layered with analog textures and deep archival digs, evoking the era of tape trading and underground fandom. In many ways, it feels less like a recap or explainer and more like a séance conducted with a turnbuckle and a cathode-ray screen. From the blurred lines of shoot vs. worked fights (explored in the "Wrestling Gets Real" series), to Japanese deathmatch icon Atsushi Onita's exploding barbed wire spectacles, to strange pop culture crossovers featuring Elvira, Mistress of the Dark, and Jim Varney's Ernest P. Worrell—Grapplevision chronicles the strange, forgotten, and surreal corners of the squared circle. All this with an intro that cheekily nods to David Cronenberg's Videodrome. In this sprawling, four-and-a-half-hour conversation, you'll hear from someone who's not only been inside the industry but has also taken on the role of archivist and cultural historian. Even if you're not a wrestling fan, there's something here for anyone interested in performance, memory, mythology, and media.

He discusses the importance of developing one's unique voice rather than following industry trends, the value of good mentorship, and his personal journey of reconnecting with his Japanese heritage. From his thoughts on gatekeeping as quality control to exploring how artists can stay true to themselves while navigating the music industry, Mark offers a refreshingly honest perspective on what it means to be an artist in today's landscape.About Mark de Clive-LoweMark de Clive-Lowe, often known as MDCL, is a half-Japanese, half-New Zealander artist who has masterfully bridged the worlds of jazz and electronic music for over two decades. Known for his innovative approach to merging acoustic instrumentation with electronic production and live sampling, he's been an influential figure in the broken beat scene and has collaborated with numerous respected artists across the jazz and electronic spectrum. Recently relocating to Japan, Mark has been exploring his cultural heritage through his music, creating deeply personal projects that showcase his unique musical voice.Think of that one producer you know who needs to hear this and share it with them.Episode HighlightsThroughout the episode we discuss:* How to develop good taste in music and recognize quality beyond conventional metrics* The balance between technical skill and artistic expression* The importance of artistic authenticity and having the confidence to defy industry expectations* How gatekeeping can serve as valuable quality control in an era of unlimited access* The patience required for artistic development and why a musical career is "a marathon, not a sprint"* Mark's journey of reconnecting with his Japanese heritage and how it transformed his music* The distinction between creating for industry success versus cultural contribution* The importance of finding one's unique voice and artistic communityThree Meaningful Takeaways* Artistic Authenticity Matters: Having the courage to create without bending to industry trends or metrics allows artists to develop their unique voice and make genuine contributions to culture.* Finding Your Voice Is Transformative: When Mark began incorporating his Japanese heritage into his music, he experienced a profound shift where he felt "this is me" for the first time – demonstrating how personal authenticity can elevate artistic expression.* Quality Over Virality: True artistic development requires patience, self-awareness, and a focus on meaningful creation rather than chasing viral success or immediate recognition.Episode Chapters00:00 Introduction to Producerhead and Mark de Clive-Lowe 01:15 The Complexity of Simplicity in Music 03:15 Developing Good Taste in Music 06:11 The Role of Gatekeepers in the Music Industry 08:46 Patience and the Journey of Musicians 11:12 Self-Awareness and Knowing When You're Ready 19:25 Return to Roots: Exploring Identity and Ancestry 25:29 The Impact of Vulnerability in Artistic Expression 30:29 Balancing Technical Skill and Artistic ExpressionReferences from the InterviewAlbums:* "The Awakening" by Ahmad JamalArtists:* Herbie Hancock* Miles Davis* Björk* Marvin Gaye* David Bowie* Chick CoreaWhat was your favorite part of this conversation?

(High quality available only to subscribers on Patreon) Recorded live from Tokyo, we approach some of the headiest and most intriguing examples of Japanese cyperpunk: Mamoru Oshii's film GHOST IN THE SHELL攻殻機動隊 (1995年) and Nihei Tsutomu's manga BLAME! (1997年〜2003年) + its prequel NOISE (2000年〜2001年). Identity transposed into the net, digital selves, ugly entropy, superstructures, cyborg breasts and sanctity in the modern condition.

Join us as we learn about his life, his lasting legacy, and the music we're lucky enough to enjoy. 

In 1993, a literal lightbulb moment led to the invention of the first white light emitting diode (LED). These LEDs are now used to light up everything from our streets to our homes to this screen you're looking at. Along with two other Japanese engineers, Professor Shuji Nakamura, was behind this illuminating invention.But Shuji's journey to this point is one of resilience and perseverance. In his pursuit to discover the first commercial white LED, he had to overcome many obstacles along the way.With less funding than his counterparts and one of the only inventors without a PhD degree, Shuji stood out from the crowd.He set out to get his PhD degree and found one of the most sought-after inventions along the way.Professor Shuji Nakamura speaks to Natasha Fernandes about finding the light and how it might not be what you would expect.Eye-witness accounts brought to life by archive. Witness History is for those fascinated by the past. We take you to the events that have shaped our world through the eyes of the people who were there.
