Podcasts about making magic

Products often tell you exactly how they're intended to be used. But why leave it at that? As a culture, we have long had a knack for finding ingenious, off-label uses for things. In this episode, we take a close look at a few examples of products that are ostensibly meant for one thing, but are better known for something else entirely. We explore Q-tips, which we are explicitly told not to put into our ears; the Hitachi Magic Wand, the iconic sex toy marketed as a body massager; the musical washboard; and the children's electrolyte solution Pedialyte that many adults swear by as a hangover cure. You'll hear from Hallie Lieberman, author of Buzz: A Stimulating History of the Sex Toy; Jacqui Barnett of the Columbus Washboard Company; Christopher Wilson, curator and chair of the Division of Home and Community Life at the Smithsonian; musician and educator Súle Greg Wilson; zydeco musicians C.J. Chenier and Steve Nash; Shaughnessy Bishop-Stall, author of Hungover: The Morning After and One Man's Quest for the Cure; as well as writers Roberto Ferdman, Dan Brooks, and Kaitlyn Tiffany. Decoder Ring is produced by Willa Paskin, Max Freedman, Katie Shepherd, and Evan Chung, Decoder Ring's supervising producer. We had additional production from Sofie Kodner. Merritt Jacob is Senior Technical Director. Special thanks to Kate Sloan, Dr. Carol Queen, Bryony Cole, Amber Singer, Molly Born, Laura Selikson, and Nell McShane Wulfhart.

Joining us for this special Thanksgiving week episode is Kathleen Wright, the director of production operations at Macy's and the woman responsible for orchestrating the magic behind the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade. Since 1924, the parade has delighted New Yorkers and folks across the country and will be celebrating 100 years in 2026; the parade was canceled for three years during World War 2. Kathleen is a marathon runner too, having run the TCS New York City Marathon multiple times, and notices the similarities between the parade and the marathon when it comes to bringing community together, including thousands of volunteers who turn out to help. Many are Macy's employees and their families who return each year as part of their Thanksgiving traditions. And for our Member Moment, Meb talks with the winner of the Every Woman's Marathon in Savannah, Khia Kurtenbach. Khia reflects on how her mother, an avid marathoner herself, inspired her to run the distance. FOLLOW NYRR: Instagram | Facebook | X | TikTok SUPPORT: Support the Set the Pace podcast!

Check out Adobe Express' "In the Making" Podcast" here: https://link.chtbl.com/ZNKQZa97 In the Making - from Adobe Express - kicks off season two with Teresa Au interviewing Vanessa Rivera of The Life of AIVAX about her whimsical Photoshop art and how she balances a time-consuming creative career with a family as a working mom. Vanessa talks about creative tools that save her time in her work, how she and her family left their home to travel in Europe for an extended period, how to set limits on her work life, and how to find joy and connection in a lonely world as a creative.

What is it like being the man with the world's largest medically verified natural penis? What are the current myths about penis size? How does fetishization fit into the mix? Is bigger really better? What are the pros and cons of having a huge cock, and what are some tools to make it more enjoyable for all parties involved? How can people learn to focus on the whole person instead of their shape or size? About our guest: Matt Barr is a London-based Cambridge-educated marketing expert with a difference - he possesses the world's largest medically verified natural penis, most recently independently certified at 36cm (14.2") long and 21.5cm (8.5") around. Matt originally gained publicity as a result of his size after appearing on the Channel 4 documentary 'My Massive Cock', where he was examined by a doctor while semi-flaccid to discuss reduction surgery. Since then, Matt has been involved in multiple medical studies and is working with the Iceland Phallological Museum to put his record-breaking member on display.  Matt's upcoming book 'A Long Story: Life With The World's Largest Penis' is not only a memoir of the personal highs and lows of being overtly well-endowed, it also seeks to dispel the many myths that are spread by porn as well as analyzing the portrayal of size in society across the past 100 years. By being open about such a taboo topic, Matt hopes to break down some of the insecurities that many men have that get in the way of great sex.

As a full year of this podcast comes to a close, I invite you to ask yourself, “Why do I practice?”. There are times in life that feel dark, when the events of life simply don't make sense. In these times, when we're tempted to abandon all semblance of spirituality, are the times when we have the choice to let our practice hold us. On this Friday the 13th, take some time to remember the feminine, the cycles of life, the process of death and rebirth. Life cannot exist without both. As we walk through the woods, may we honor all of blessings this year has brought, along with any of the heartache we hold. It is possible to carry both. May your practice bring you comfort and purpose through all your days. Thank you for sharing this year with me. Many blessings to all my fellow seekers. What am I reading?The Life Impossible by Matt HaigThe Comfy Cozy Guide to Making Magic in Your Everyday Life by Jennie Blonde What am I listening to on repeat?Witchy Woman by the Eagles What's for dinner?Autumn Bowl Ingredients2 cups arugula ½ cup quinoa cooked1 small sweet potato roasted½ apple ¼ cup chickpeas rinsed2 tablespoons dried cranberries2 tablespoons goat cheesefor the dressing:2 tablespoons tahini 1 tablespoon maple syrup Instructions:Cook quinoa, and roast the sweet potatoes until fork tender (roast in 425 degree oven).Add the arugula to a bowl, then top it with the cooked quinoa, roasted sweet potatoes, apple, chickpeas, cranberries, and goat cheese. Make the dressing: whisk tahini and maple syrup together until they're well combined. Drizzle the dressing over the bowl and enjoy!Pumpkin Pie Yogurt Bowl2 cups Greek yogurt1/2 cup pumpkin puree2 tablespoons maple syrup1 teaspoon pumpkin pie spice1/4 cup granola1 tablespoon chopped pecans, walnuts, or almonds Instructions:In a bowl, mix the Greek yogurt with pumpkin puree, maple syrup, and pumpkin pie spice until well combined.Top each bowl with granola and chopped pecans.Enjoy!
