Every couple of weeks, Matt Rodbard invites a journalist to talk about some favorite recent food writing as well as their thoughts on the industry as a whole.On today's episode, we have an amazing conversation with Jaya Saxena. Jaya is a correspondent at Eater, covering many topics including labor, queer food culture, and “why American potato chips are so boring.” She also serves as the series editor for the Best American Food and Travel Writing anthology, which has a new edition edited by Bryant Terry dropping in the fall.In this great episode, we talk about Jaya's career writing about the world of food, including her memorable piece for Eater, “The Food That Makes You Gay.” We also go over some recent stories and play the game “What would you pitch 1997 Graydon Carter?” That is, Jaya considers her dream no-budget reporting assignment.Do you enjoy This Is TASTE?

Tariffs, tariffs, tariffs. It's the word on everybody's lips this week and, as you'd expect, every food media outlet in the country published some sort of breakdown of what this means for restaurants and the food industry at large. Father Sal and I sift through the noise to distill what this means for LA restaurateurs and diners alike. Also on this episode, we issue a correction from last episode, we recap a beefy meal at the newly opened Matu Kai in Brentwood, and we dive deep on Meghan McCarron's piece for the New York Times' tracking how the decline of middle class restaurants - think Red Lobster, Chili's, Outback Steakhouse and the like - speaks to a worrying trend in American dining. In Chef's Kiss Big Miss, there's the closure of an iconic Greek restaurant, the launch of a questionable celebrity (Glen Powell) sauce brand, and the announcement of a brand new Vince Vaughn flick that hit a little too close to home for yours truly.

On this week's show, June Thomas (author of A Place of Our Own: Six Spaces That Shaped Queer Women's Culture) and Dan Kois (author of Hampton Heights) fill in for Dana and Stephen. First, the panel tackles It Ends With Us starring Blake Lively and Justin Baldoni (the latter also directed and produced the film.) It's a big, glossy melodrama laced with a domestic violence plot, and is the first film adaptation of BookTok star author Colleen Hoover. Then, the three explore Time Bandits, a new television show from Jermaine Clement, Iain Morris, and Taika Watiti starring, among others, a sublime Lisa Kudrow. The Apple TV+ series is based on Terry Gilliam's 1981 film of the same name and follows a ragtag bunch of bandits as they thieve and travel through time. Finally, in light of its 20-year anniversary, the trio considers Yelp – does the crowd-sourcing review platform still hold power in 2024? This conversation was inspired by Jaya Saxena's Eater piece, “Everybody Gets a Star.” On this week's exclusive Slate Plus bonus episode, the panel goes on the hunt for the wonderful, elusive “perfect cracker.” Email us at culturefest@slate.com. Endorsements: JUNE: A very well-reviewed book from two years ago: Katheine Rundell's Super-Infinite: The Transformations of John Donne. DAN: The Ministry for the Future: A Novel by Kim Stanley Robinson. JULIA: First Class Tailors on Wilshire Blvd., which boasts a 4.7 Star rating on Yelp. Podcast production by Jared Downing.

The restaurant industry has been making headlines lately. Fine dining heavyweights are shuttering: Noma announced it would be closing in 2024 and NYC staple Momofuku Ko closed this past weekend. Then, there's the unintentional chaos caused by a popular Tiktok food critic, whose visit to Atlanta was so profound that it drowned out the debut of the city's first ever Michelin Guide. After seeing all of this, host Brittany Luse wants to know: What's up with restaurants these days? To answer that question, she sits down with writer and Eater correspondent Jaya Saxena to get the lowdown on the most recent food news and the trends that tell us about both our interests and our economy.

What Can You Do With a Law Degree? Joshua Schwadron became a legal tech founder and CEO because he wanted to improve the lives of people affected by accidents. Traditionally personal injury law firms are all about settling a case and minimal client involvement while they work on the issues. Mighty develops products that will aid the client, like interest-free friends and family loans, which allow the client to get money to handle their bills without dealing with that issue themselves and adding chaos to a relationship. While Joshua Schwadron believes that many areas of law will be impacted by technology, students can find ways to make technology work within the practice group and “be happy and make a lot of money.” "I recommend that students develop an expertise that cannot be disrupted by artificial intelligence (AI) or technology," shared Joshua Schwadron on the You Are A Lawyer podcast. A law degree will take you anywhere. While Josh sees the impact of his law degree in his life, he cautions students to think about why they are going to law school before they take the giant leap because of the exorbitant costs of legal education.Lawyer Side HustlesJosh used his law degree to become the CEO of Mighty, which was created to benefit accident victims and bring equity to the personal injury and insurance industry."Mighty was founded to give the consumer more power and benefits and help to root out some of the bad practices that many people in personal injury have," explains Joshua Schwadron in Episode 82 of You Are A Lawyer. Mighty is concerned with: How the consumer is feeling Is the consumer able to pay their bills? Has the client's car been fixed? How can mighty help you get back to your new normal? Mighty is a nationwide service that allows accident victims to get better service. If you live in a smaller or remote area, Mighty can refer you to someone who can assist you after your accident.Join the FREE mailing list!

Dena Lefkowitz was unhappy working in litigation so she changed firms a few times, before realizing that she needed to get away from this type of practice. Having a more reasonable work life has more of an impact on you than having a ton of money. It took Dena a few years to realize that free time was important and to look towards in-house positions so that she could spend her time how she wanted. Dena was a lawyer by day and a career coach, thought expert at night for six years. Dena was on a great trajectory, where the only way that she could continue to serve her clients was to leave her full time job. Dena took her side hustle and transitioned it into a full career and founded a career coaching business called Achievement By Design, LLC. As a coach, Dena helps people find careers that respect their values, preferences, and motives. Dena credits her time attending the Michael Baime Eight Week Mindfulness Retreat and working with a career counselor as showing her that she could work in a field that she enjoyed and be financially stable.Dena Lefkowitz is also the author of Winning In Your Own Court, a book that encourages people to create a successful career without burnout or selling out. This book is a valuable resource for anyone who is interested in changing careers, but unable to work with a career coach. With chapters entitled, Curate Your Career and Honing Your Soft Skills, Dena offers her wisdom and experience as a career coach to the reader.

From Project BFF HQ Terri + Manya riff on the concept of best friends. What is a best friend? Can you have more than one? It turns out that the concept of best friends is really pretty new and we probably don't all mean the same thing when we call someone our best friend. For some it may mean a singular relationship that has risen above all others. For other people, it is a term the describes a level of closeness.'Best Friends' Are a Surprisingly Recent Phenomenon, Jaya Saxena in th AtlanticThe Friendship Report, by SnapchatBest Friend, Urban Dictionary#BeAFriend Support us: PatreonEmail: friend@project-bff.comShare the love: subscribe + rate us in your favorite podcast app + tell your friendsWe use Buzzsprout to host our podcast + we love it.

“Other Music is like a fun, messy library for music. You almost never find what you were looking for, but you always find something you never knew you wanted.” Jaya Saxena was 17 when she was asked to describe her favourite record store in Teen People magazine's Summer Music Special of 2004. Now in her 30s, Jaya is a published author of non-fiction, and a Senior Writer at Eater.com. When I found Jaya, she had forgotten she was in Teen People, so I had to jog her memory with the details. “I was around a lot of adults who worked for these magazines,” she told me, “so I probably did talk to someone.” Jaya spoke with me in October, 2021. She told me about Other Music, her career, and how she's building solidarity with peers in her industry.

Who would've thought turning a depressing croon about drowning your sorrows in margaritas into a resort was a good idea? Jimmy Buffett, that's who. Jaya Saxena took on the mission of a night in Times Square's Margaritaville resort and Rax and Amber are on the low culture mission to dissect the details. Along the way, the gals muse on how Americans engage with leisure time, who exactly this resort is for, and the phenomenon of "conspicuous vibing". Check out Jaya's article: https://bit.ly/3A6STLi

Plenty of first-generation American kids share a very familiar experience: explaining the food in their lunchboxes as their classmates unwrap their sandwiches. Jaya Saxena is a staff writer at Eater, and she joins host Krys Boyd to talk about what it's like to feel like an outsider simply because of what your well-meaning parents packed you for lunch. Her article is headlined “The Limits of the Lunchbox Moment.” (This show originally aired on March 3, 2021.)
In celebration of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month, we dedicate our episode to memory and how it has shaped AAPI food experiences. Many of us have probably eaten meals where long after the plate has been cleared, the taste still lingers in our mind. But we don’t just remember food — food can spark and capture memory as well. For those who have immigrated across countries, food can act as a vessel through which the flavors and stories of their past live on.Today, our episode explores how the smell, taste, or story behind dishes can inspire art, preserve heritage and forge connections across cultures and continents. First, we visit a family in the Bay Area to learn about how food has evoked nostalgia for them after immigrating from China. Next, we hear from an educational organization based in O’ahu about their mission of promoting environmental preservation. We then head to the backstage of a one-woman play, where we talk to the playwright about her relationship to food as an Indian-American. Finally, we flip through the pages of diasporic Vietnamese cookbooks to discover the narratives embedded within.Further Reading and Listening:Check out the website for the one-woman play, Meera’s Kitchen.Read Jaya Saxena's article about the Lunchbox MomentMonique Truong’s essay, “A Suitcase of Recipes: Diasporic Vietnamese Cookbooks and the Stories They Tell"Keep Meat and Three on the air: become an HRN Member today!

Highly prized for their beauty, crystals can take the shape of jewelry, household objects, and an array of self-care products. But it’s the ideas they stand for that draw people to their raw forms. Like astrology, tarot, and modern witchcraft, crystals help practitioners understand themselves and the wider world around them. Crystal Clear author Jaya Saxena is in conversation with Helena Fitzgerald. _______________________________________________ Produced by Maddie Gobbo & Lance Morgan.

There's no question about it: alcohol to go sales have helped restaurants survive the COVID-19 crisis. Booze, Beer and other alcohol takeout options have been a lifeline for our Cali BBQ restaurant and others in California. That salvation was thanks to regulatory relief from the state Alcoholic Beverage Control agency which, among other changes, has allowed certain licensees to sell sealed alcohol to go containers with food orders. Our Cali BBQ Craft Cocktails and Beer Growlers To Go have been a huge hit with our guests. When we had our popular Tiger King Growler, some people even dressed up like characters from the Netflix documentary to pick theirs up. Being able to continue selling alcohol during the coronavirus pandemic has helped us retain many of our amazing staff members during an incredibly difficult time for the restaurant business. But the lifeline is still temporary. If the people of California want establishments like Cali BBQ to be able to continue selling alcohol to go with food, then it'll take a legislative push to permanently change the law. "I think everybody's had to adjust," California Alcoholic Beverage Control spokesperson John Carr said about the COVID-19 pandemic and public safety related shutdown orders on our Digital Hospitality podcast. "This has been unbelievable, I mean, we all had this just dropped on us and then we had to immediately ask ourselves, what can I do? What can I do to serve my community in the best way possible? How can I do it safely?" "Because all of us want to see people get back to work. We want to see businesses reopen. It's just that we have to make sure that we're all cognizant and doing everything we can to keep people from getting this terrible disease that spreads. And there's no vaccine yet. So we have to do all these things to keep people safe." "It's definitely been a huge challenge," he added. "And I know it's been a huge challenge to the hospitality industry. You've felt it by like a tidal wave." Booze To Go In the US: Restaurant owners and others involved in food and drink service have been making concerted efforts to change their states' respective laws. For some restaurants, being able to sell cocktails, beer, wine, and other drinks to go and for delivery, has helped them stay in business. If that were to suddenly change back to how it was before the regulations were rolled back, it could mean disaster for some who now rely on drink sales to stay afloat. Cocktails and alcoholic drinks to go have helped struggling business all over the country. In a May 5, 2020 Eater article by Jaya Saxena called "It's Maybe Time to Make To-Go Cocktails Legal" the influential online publication raised an important question: Why hasn't it been like this the whole time? And why can't we continue allowing people to pick up alcoholic drinks to go with food indefinitely. "It seems to be working quite well, both for businesses and customers; businesses get to offload more product at a time when every penny counts, and customers get to enjoy mixologist-quality cocktails at home," the Eater article states. "And it raises the question of why the hell it hasn’t been like this the whole time. "The new, temporary liquor regulations have their own quirks and inconsistencies, but most states have made it easier to obtain alcohol: In New York and California, alcohol can be delivered or taken to-go, as long as it’s accompanied by food, and restaurants can sell whole bottles of wine and spirits. In Chicago, restaurants and bars can sell “sealed packaged goods in their original container,” like bottles of wine or cans of beer, but not pre-mixed cocktails. The same goes for Washington and Texas, though restaurants are selling “cocktail kits” so you can make your own at home." The push to keep alcohol to go sales is gathering steam all over the country. In Missouri, the Division of Alcohol and Tobacco Control waived a restriction on ce...

It's getting harder to find a funny line to make the episode title! My Current Fix:Jill is working on her Ixchel by Catherine Clark out of Sweet Sparrow Yarns Gosling in Dusty Rose and Magpie in Butterbeer. She was trying to do the sleeve colorwork in intarsia, but is going to do it again in plain stockinette with duplicate stitch instead. She just split for the armholes in her Pop Crop Cardi by Ambah O'Brien and Lobelia by Meghan Fernandes mash-up out of Jessie's handspun. Jessie spun the 3-ply yarn out of two plies of natural merino, and one ply from a Mork Made Fiber Co batt. The cropped cardigan is for Jessie's wedding. Jill swatched for Marklee by Elizabeth Doherty in Invictus Yarns Reward in the color Contemplate. She also did a little bit of spinning with Capistrano Fiber Arts 80/20 Merino/Tussah Silk roving in "Barrier Reef". What I'm Jonesing For:Jill is into the Alaska sweater by Camille Descoteaux and the Oshun pullover by Christina Danaee. She also likes the Vela Shawl by Shara Made. Jill wants to get a jump start on the holidays with the Hello Winter! by Calle del Limon ornament and the Slice of Pizza Ornament by Michele Wilcox.

Hello witches, seekers, and friends! Thanks for tuning in to episode 34 of The Fat Feminist Witch Podcast, the show where we do a little ranting, raving, and wand-waving! Today we're talking about a profession and mission that's common in witchy and pagan circles - midwifery, doulas, and birth work. Is Midwifery witchcraft? Why are there so many witchy and pagan doulas? When did that happen? I'll talk a bit about the history of the european witch trials and how many of those persecuted were accused of possessing the power to heal through natural remedies and ... satanic witchcraft? How the rise of Doctors as a profession cost many women healers, and the women who depended on them, their lives and own rights to understand their bodies. I also share stories and experiences from other witchy parents, midwives, and doulas - including yours truly, a former doula. I reference a BUNCH of great sources for you to continue your own research on this topic, including: The Birth House by Ami McKay (and the #WitchyWednesday tag on twitter) Witches Sluts Feminists by Kristen J. Solee Witches, Midwives, and Nurses by Barbara Ehrenreich and Deirdre English The Story of Jane by Laura Kaplan Basic Witches by Jaya Saxena and Jess Zimmerman The Wise Woman Herbal for the Childbearing Year by Susun Weed Witches: A Century of Murder doc on Netflix (also the Pendle Witch Child on YouTube!)

Hello again witches, seekers, and friends, and thanks for tuning in to episode 30 of the fat feminist witch podcast! I am your host Paige, The Fat Feminist Witch, and today I'll be talking about Basic Witches, Sluts, Feminists, and people who just straight up hate fun. This is a witch n bitch episode which means I've also taken a poll from witches online around the world about one of today's topics - do you have to practice magic to be a witch? Today's episode was inspired by the book BASIC WITCHES by Jaya Saxena and Jess Zimmerman, which caused a bit of s stir for being a witch book about witchcraft by non witches about something many don't even consider witchcraft. YEAH. I also mention Witches, Sluts Feminists by Kristen J Solee, as another modern witch book that has recently shone a light on the history of witches and witchcraft and what makes someone a witch, whether they want to be or not. Find out why I gave BASIC WITCHES

Today we go to a future where all pop stars use avatars, clones, robots or cartoons instead of their real bodies and faces. What does that do to music? Can everybody pull off an avatar? And why would any pop star even want that? We start with a conspiracy theory. Jaya Saxena tells us about the theory that Beyonce is a clone. And one of the reasons Jaya thinks that people might think Beyonce is using a clone is because she’s so private, and hates doing press stuff. Which of course is not the case, Beyonce may seem perfect but she is in fact a single human woman. But the idea that a pop star might want to use a clone or avatar to do some of the more boring and annoying tasks required of pop stars: red carpets, meet and greets, constant interviews, is believable. Kelsey McKinney, a culture writer at Fusion, says that most of the pop stars she’s interviewed would absolutely take an out if they were given one. She tells us about what the grind of pop-stardom is really like, and why so many stars eventually do break down. Now, there are some pop stars who use fronts or avatars. The Gorillaz performed as a cartoon troupe. Daft Punk wears those helmetty things. Sia wears a big wig. Deadmaus often performs wearing a giant mouse head. There’s this rock band called The Residents that has a small but very intense cult following. MF Doom performed in this gladiator mask. There are lots of examples of this. But Kelsey points out that none of them have reached the level of fame that say Beyonce or Taylor Swift has. The one possible place we can find a true pop star that is represented by an avatar is Hatsune Miku. Now, if you’re not familiar with Hatsune Miku, she’s a 16 year old Japanese popstar. She’s 5 feet 2 inches tall, and she weighs 93 pounds and she’s got this really striking blue hair that is usually in these super long pigtails. And she is not real, she’s a cartoon or hologram. Hatsune Miku is a particularly interesting case to me because unlike The Gorillaz or Daft Punk or Sia, Hatsune Miku isn’t a front for a person. There is no artist laboring behind the scenes, who then goes out and uses the Hatsune Miku cartoon character to perform. She’s entirely a fabrication of a company, and I swear to you that I am not making this up, the company’s name is Crypton Future Media. And Crypton Future Media makes these singing synthesizer programs. And that’s where Hatsune Miku’s voice comes from, it’s totally created by a computer. And last week when I was doing some research for this episode I realized that Hatsune Miku was actually playing at Hammerstein Ballroom in New York City where I live, in just a couple days. So, obviously I bought tickets and this past weekend I dragged my very patient boyfriend to her show. You can hear how that went in the episode. But of course I can’t interview Hatsune Miku, since she’s not real. So instead I called my favorite anonymous musician: the man behind Hussalonia. You can read about the back story to Hussalonia on their site, but here’s the gist: Hussalonia is a pop music cult, which was purchased by an evil soap company called Nefarico, which demanded that Jesse no longer use his name or face in the songs, and also required him to put out two albums of soap jingles. And the man behind Hussalonia, Jesse Mank, tells us about why he came up with this story, and why he didn’t even do interviews until recently. Finally, we all discuss what kinds of avatars people would choose, whether certain types of music are better suited to avatars, and what kind of fan art might spring up from these avatars.
