Robin Clevett has asked three Carpenters & Joiners to join him and talk about what their best attributes are... and also - what is beyond their skills or they simply don't have the patience for.Guests: Richard Wagner, John Argyle & Jay Elliott.
This week we sit down with Barry Sorkin, founder and pitmaster of Smoque BBQ, a personal favorite of the Joiners boys and, for our money, one of the best barbecue joints on the planet. But the road to BBQ greatness wasn't exactly obvious. Barry joins us in the studio to talk about leaving a career in IT consulting to chase an obsession with barbecue, building Smoque from scratch, surviving the chaos of opening day, and what it actually takes to cook great brisket at scale. Along the way we get into the surprising economics of barbecue, why the best hires often have no restaurant experience, plenty of practical advice for anyone trying to smoke meat at home, a near-death-row meal -- and so much more!
Robin Clevett chats to award winning Carpentry & Joinery business owners about their road to winning their awards and whether it makes a difference to the business. New guest, Ben Naylor talks about how winning awards with his company (Jack Badger) has helped with proving credibility to protential clients and helps with regards to motivating the team.Trade Apprentice 2020 Award winner, Chris Keel talks about his experiences more than half a decade on, What he's doing now with college students and why you should be careful about the kind of awards you go in for. Robin shouts out some tradespeople he thinks would be worthy of winning an award.
For the first time in Joiners history, we welcome back a repeat guest: Mindy Segal. A longtime friend of the pod, Mindy remains one of our favorite people to talk to. She's funny, fearless, deeply thoughtful about hospitality, and never especially interested in keeping an opinion to herself (but she's working on it). She continues to hold it down at Mindy's Bakery, the deeply personal neighborhood shop where weekend lines wrap around the block, the pastries inspire cult-like devotion, and her team has room to grow, experiment, and practice their craft. She comes to the studio bearing a birthday cake for Danny, teases an intimate new concept, and catches us up on everything else. We talk: the art of a real apology, getting “cancelled” for five minutes, Chicago bakery politics, concert etiquette, dirty bathrooms, dabbing with Mike Sula, why the best hospitality often has nothing to do with restaurants -- and so much more.
Robin Clevett looks into site work and domestic work for Carpenters & Joiners and whether there's enough profit and value in certain aspects of the trade. Calum Callachan talks about experiences around this in site work and what his experiences are now having recently jumped into domestic. Friend of the show, Sean Matthews - award winning Tradesperson - joins the chat to share his thoughts on protecting and finding profit in the domestic market.

Imagine having an automated marketing and sales machine generating qualified leads on tap, even whilst you're sleeping.In this podcast episode, I reveal why relying on outdated website contact forms, social media DMs, and email enquiries is killing your sales and costing you jobs. If your sales process depends on you being available to respond, your business effectively closes when you stop working.

Rum -- despite its exotic reputation -- isn't an escapist novelty so much as a lived-in, agricultural spirit, grounded in real places and real work. No one makes that case more convincingly than this week's guest, Dan Smith, managing partner of Queen Mary Tavern, a Ukrainian Village institution and longtime favorite of the Joiners boys. Dan cut his teeth at The Violet Hour, then behind the bar at Barrelhouse Flat under Stephen Cole and Greg Buttera, before opening Queen Mary in 2015 with Heisler Hospitality and building its singular, maritime-spirits-driven program. He joins us on the coldest day of the year for a proper Rum 101, touching on what actually creates Jamaican “funk,” how fermentation choices shape flavor, and why Queen Mary has worked to place rum in a less escapist, more everyday context -- plus a handful of great stories along the way, from magnum Jamaican pours to the improbable discovery of a tavern sealed in time since the 1970s.

Live recording of the fortnightly podcast Design Systems WTF (back for season two!), where Luke Murphy and Michelle Chin attempt to combat all the amazing wtf in design systems. In each episode, they answer a single question around design system troubles with a Q&A from the live audience.Set the scene - you've joined a new company as a product designer or engineer, and you're confronted with a massive system, with custom naming and opaque decisions. Queue anxiety. So how do we make our design systems easy to understand, and make them a strength for onboarding new joiners?Show notesAmy's talk about jargonzh's AI features
Your weekly guide to the music biz and how it all works – and this week they speak to Ricky Bates, head of booking and promotion at the Joiners in Southampton - one of the UK's great grassroots venues. But first they chat about:Half a million pounds is being distributed in the UK to grassroots venues artists and events - and it's money gathered from the levy on ticket sales in the UK. Steve and Stu discuss how this money is being spent – and how it will make a difference.Last week, Steve spoke to highly successful UK manager Niamh Byrne (Blur, Gorillaz and more) and you'll be able to hear that interview in a couple of weeks. But one notable thing she spoke about was how managers are working harder than ever, and need to provide more services than before. So what is a manager's job now?Also at the Music Ally Connect conference, a key Universal music exec spoke about how AI can create new songs when one song is “covered” by AI versions of other artists: “I really want to hear what it sounds like for Jimi Hendrix to play Bitches Brew”. But do people really want to hear AI-generated cover versions?Then the duo speak to Ricky Bates and he discusses the reality of running a local grassroots venue in 2026 – and it's a solid-gold local venue that has hosted most of today's biggest bands on their way up. It's where both Coldplay and Manic Street Preachers signed their first deals, and how Green Day "accidentally" played their Kerplunk! album launch show at the Joiners. The public podcast contains highlights of the interview – however Patreon Superfan listeners can hear the whole interview as this week's lock-in content! (Become a Patreon Superfan here! https://www.patreon.com/ThePriceofMusic)Ricky speaks about:How he started at the venue by being thrown in at the deep end – and how he cleared a huge rent debt (with help from some Frank Turner gigs)How a “reset button” has been hit in the last few years – and how people's gig-going habits have changed recentlyWhat the hidden costs are of running a venue – and why the profit margins are so tightThe stressful process of buying the venue with the help of the Music Venue TrustHow artists are starting to book shorter “big city” tours that avoid the regional towns and cities, leaving local fans with fewer options.How under-18s fans are often drawn to the huge arena shows at the expense of cheap local shows.The future of the venue and what decades of moshing has done to the floor of the dancefloor!===================================As ever, we welcome your feedback, emails and – in particular – any questions you might have about how the music biz works!Email us: thepriceofmusicpodcast@gmail.comSee you next week!Steve and Stuart======TPOM online: http://tpom.uk/Support The Price of Music on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/ThePriceofMusicFollow Steve on X - @steve_lamacqFollow Stuart on X - @stuartdredgeFollow The Price of Music on X - @PriceofMusicpodFor sponsorship opportunities, please email - joe@musically.com

Our reverence for Big Star is well-documented — and for good reason. For a wide range of people coming up in Chicago's hospitality scene, the spot represented a proof of concept: that you could take something familiar, do it with conviction, and build a culture around it. Its mythos is legend — from strong margaritas to nightly cash-only bonanzas — and this week's guest was there for all of it. Laurent Schroeder-LeBec was born in France and spent his formative years in Korea, a hardcore kid turned hospitality lifer, whose musical soul and DIY spirit can still be felt at the heart of Big Star. In this episode, we're reliving the glory days of the gold-studded classic — from cheap Lone Star beers to its eventual growth and expansion — with a true original who had the inside scoop. -- We're heading north: Joiners will be on the road at Sand Valley, Wisconsin, February 27–March 1, recording live episodes during the Friends of James Beard Sand Valley Chefs Invitational. Expect great chefs, beautiful surroundings, and a weekend built around food, conversation, and community. Details and tickets → Friends of James Beard Chef Invitational
What if not belonging isn't a flaw—but a form of freedom?In this episode of Psyche, I sit down with psychiatrist and author Dr. Rami Kaminski to explore his powerful book, The Gift of Not Belonging: How Outsiders Thrive in a World of Joiners. Together, we unpack his concept of otrovertness—a way of being in the world where a person may appear gentle, kind, and socially capable on the outside, yet internally refuses to surrender their identity to groupthink, ideology, or social pressure.Dr. Kaminski describes the otrovert as a kind of meek rebel: someone who doesn't need to be loud, defiant, or disruptive in order to be free. Instead, their rebellion is inward—rooted in the radical act of thinking for themselves, feeling for themselves, and refusing to let the crowd define who they are.We talk about how modern culture confuses belonging with safety, how early socialization trains us to trade authenticity for acceptance, and why so many sensitive, neurodivergent, and deeply thoughtful people grow up feeling like outsiders—even when they seem to “fit in” just fine.This conversation also explores:Why connection is not the same as belongingHow otrovertness relates to autonomy, attachment, and inner freedomWhy obedience often gets mistaken for goodnessAnd how living outside the emotional herd can actually lead to a calmer, more meaningful lifeIf you've ever felt like you were never meant to live according to someone else's script—this episode will speak directly to you.

This week's guest is an icon, a chef's chef, and a tireless culinary educator -- it's not hyperbole to suggest that the entirety of food media as we know it, a food media that respects food and the process of making it as a skill to be fostered and shared, is in his profound debt. Raised in his parents' restaurant near Lyon, Jacques Pépin went from unpaid apprentice and presidential chef for Charles de Gaulle to redefining American cooking after moving to New York in 1959, even turning down an offer to become John F. Kennedy's White House chef to learn the science and scale of food at Howard Johnson's. His landmark books La Technique and La Méthode, followed by decades of PBS series from The Complete Pépin to Julia & Jacques Cooking at Home, made rigorous French technique approachable for home cooks everywhere. Now he's channeling that lifetime of craft into the Jacques Pépin Foundation, which supports community kitchens and culinary job training for people facing barriers to employment -- all while celebrating his 90th birthday with 90 dinners across the country. He calls into the Joiners studio from his home in Connecticut to chew the fat with the boys in a conversation that spans seven-day-a-week apprenticeships in postwar France to dinner parties with Julia Child and James Beard -- including who actually did the dishes.

The NRL has issued a decree that any player signing with R360 will face a 10-year ban from returning. It's another in a string of developments around the rebel competition which could shape up as a real threat to both codes if it ever gets off the ground. Jamie Wall spoke to Lisa Owen.
This week on Joiners, we're talking to Chef Rodolfo Cuadros, the executive chef and owner of the critically acclaimed Chicago restaurants Amaru and Bloom. Growing up in Cali, Colombia, before moving back to Queens and then New Jersey, he's known for his bold, Pan-Latin cooking at Amaru and his award-winning plant-based philosophy at Bloom. Amaru brings together the flavors, history, and passion of Latin America, while Bloom -- named one of the city's best plant-based restaurants -- earned a Michelin Bib Gourmand for its vibrant, vegetable-driven menu. He joins us in the studio to talk about growing up amid both joy and conflict in Colombia, his journey from dishwasher to acclaimed chef-owner, why balance and sustainability shape his cooking today, and so much more!
Some people are joiners, and some people feel like outsiders their whole lives. We grow up believing that belonging is everything, that happiness depends on finding our people, our tribe, our place in the crowd. But not fitting in is not a flaw says psychiatrist Dr Rami Kaminski. For 40 years he's seen patients who come to him yearning to be like other people, chasing a feeling at odds with their individuality. Dr Kaminksi says it can be a strength to embrace independent thinking and to stand a bit outside of the circle instead of always joining in. His new book is called The Gift of Not Belonging: How Outsiders Thrive in a World of Joiners. Take the quiz here

It's happy hour on Joiners this week as we sit down for a booze-infused conversation with Luke DeYoung.
