From ballet dancer and Billy Elliot hopeful to Michelin-starred chef, Michael O'Hare's journey is anything but conventional. In this episode of The Go-To Food Podcast, Michael traces his path from Middlesbrough to the top of British fine dining via aerospace engineering, Jamie Oliver cookbooks, formative kitchen years and time spent at Noma, before blowing the doors off the scene with The Man Behind the Curtain. It's a story shaped as much by instinct and curiosity as by rebellion against tradition.Michael speaks candidly about what success really costs. He breaks down the brutal economics of Michelin-starred restaurants, the impossible margins, the pressure to keep raising prices, and the moment he realised that even full dining rooms no longer meant financial survival. For the first time in detail, he explains the HMRC debt that followed the closure of his restaurants, how his wages became reframed as loans, and what it actually means to “go bankrupt” in modern hospitality. It's a rare, unfiltered look behind the headlines.Beyond the business, Michael unpacks his philosophy on food and creativity. He rails against homogenisation in restaurants, arguing that haute cuisine has slipped into fast-fashion thinking, where identity is lost and trends are copied plate for plate. He challenges ideas around seasonality, menu poetry and performative complexity, and tells the stories behind some of his most infamous dishes, from raw prawns and potato custard to why a “tikka prawn” can be more honest than something that looks clever on paper.The conversation moves effortlessly between the serious and the absurd: chaotic kitchen stories, onion-ring addictions, shower cups of tea, the strangest customers he's ever faced, and why he believes restaurants should feel more like homes than institutions. We also hear about his new chapter, a radically intimate restaurant built around balance, control and cooking purely for joy. Funny, fierce and deeply human, this is Michael O'Hare as you've never heard him before.Pre Order Ben's Incredible Book - All You Can Eat - By Clicking Here - https://www.amazon.co.uk/All-You-Can-Eat-British/dp/1805221523 Hosted on Acast.

In The Man Behind the Curtain, a bonus Close Readings series for 2026, Tom McCarthy and Thomas Jones examine great novels in terms of the systems and infrastructures at work in them. For their first episode, they turn to the book that invented the modern novel. Don Quixote, the ingenious man from La Mancha, is thought to be mad by everyone he meets because he believes he's living in a book. But from a certain point of view that makes the hero of Cervantes' novel the only character who has any idea what's really going on. Tom and Tom discuss the machinery – narrative, theoretical, economic, psychological and literal (those windmills) – which underpins Cervantes' masterpiece. This is a bonus episode from the Close Readings series.

Jensen Huang is something of an enigma. The NVIDIA CEO doesn't have social media and, until recently, rarely gave interviews. Yet he may be the most important person in AI.Under his leadership, NVIDIA has become a goliath. Somewhere between 80 and 90 per cent of AI tools run on NVIDIA hardware, making it the world's most valuable company. But unlike his contemporaries, Huang has been remarkably quiet about the technology – and the world – he's building.In his new book, The Thinking Machine: Jensen Huang, NVIDIA, and the World's Most Coveted Microchip, journalist Stephen Witt pulls back the curtain. And what he finds is, at times, shocking: Huang believes there is zero risk in developing superintelligence.So who is Jensen Huang? And should we worry that the most powerful person in AI is racing forward at breakneck speed, blind to the potential consequences?Mentioned:The Thinking Machine: Jensen Huang, NVIDIA, and the World's Most Coveted Microchip, by Stephen WittHow Jensen Huang's Nvidia Is Powering the A.I.

John le Carré, born David Cornwell in 1931, was a British novelist renowned for his morally complex spy fiction. Writing under a pen name gave him the freedom to publish while he worked in both MI5 and MI6, but after the breakthrough success of The Spy Who Came in from the Cold, he left the intel community world for good. Le Carré's work spanned the globe, covering terrorism and drug networks, private banking and pharmaceutical exploitation, arms trades and resource plundering- often drawing on the people and places he knew firsthand. Le Carré's vast personal archive is all on display in the new John le Carré: Tradecraft exhibition at the University of Oxford's Bodleian Library. Historian and curator Jessica Douthwaite joins Sasha to talk about the exhibition and what it reveals about his life and work. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

What happens when you blend raw talent, Puerto Rican pride, and years of lived experience into one unstoppable character? You get Tio—the wildly popular, side-splitting, mustache-wearing alter ego brought to life by the multi-hyphenate creative force, Geovany Sepulveda. But there's a deeper story behind the laughs—and in this episode of I'm An Artist, Not A Salesman, we sit down with Geovany to explore every layer.From humble beginnings in the projects of Hoboken, New Jersey, to formative years spent in Puerto Rico, Geovany's journey is packed with cultural duality, artistic evolution, and a deep understanding of how to transform trauma into storytelling. Known for his wildly viral sketch character Tio, Geovany opens up about the real people, places, and pain that helped shape his creative voice.This isn't just a conversation about going viral or building an audience—this is a powerful look into what it takes to stay grounded while navigating the pressures of content creation, identity, and legacy.In this raw and honest interview, we cover:The origin story of Tio: a hilarious but deeply personal tribute to uncles, neighborhoods, and chaotic family dinnersHow growing up in a Puerto Rican household shaped his comedic instincts and artistic driveThe balance between staying true to your culture while reaching a broader audienceWhat it's like to be called “Barney for adults”—and why that's a complimentThe early days of going viral by filming against a brick wall with no budgetWhy comparison culture kills creativityHow Geovany deals with haters, internet trolls, and jealousy from unexpected placesWhat he's learned from building a loyal community through original characters and consistencyAs Geovany reveals, comedy wasn't his first love—music was. Under the name Arson, he built a strong following through beat-making, EDM, and melodic songwriting. He even studied audio engineering and collaborated with Grammy-winning producers. But when fans and friends kept telling him he needed to show people “the funny,” Geovany took the leap—and Tio was born.Still, the artistic tug-of-war remains. Geovany sees himself as a split persona: Arsnn makes the music, Tio brings the comedy, and together they fuel a much bigger creative mission. Whether it's producing EDM tracks, designing a stand-up set from scratch, or improvising sketch ideas on the spot with only a camera and a prop couch—Geovany is doing it all with purpose, heart, and hustle.What makes this episode stand out?Geovany doesn't hold back. He shares stories about:Getting kicked out of the house at 18 after his mom found bricks of drugs hidden in the closetWatching his Tio videos help strangers through dark moments, failed job interviews, and griefUsing humor as both armor and offering, especially in the face of personal loss and mental health strugglesHis dream of creating an animated comedy series that showcases Latino culture with Family Guy-level humorHow he sold out his first ever stand-up show using only his own network and sheer beliefThis episode isn't about chasing virality—it's about creating art with intention, and how Geovany is using his platform to bring light, love, and laughter into the world. Whether he's talking about old-school Puerto Rican parenting, beefing with family over past mistakes, or surviving the algorithm game, Geovany keeps it real, grounded, and hilarious.If you've ever felt torn between your talents, unsure of your next move, or overlooked by mainstream platforms—this conversation is your permission to go all in.Connect with the host, Luis Guzman, and the IANS podcast:Follow us on Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or wherever you listen for weekly interviews that spotlight the real stories behind the creatives, entrepreneurs, and visionaries you should know.Want to be on the show or suggest a guest? Reach out via our website or send us a DM on Instagram at @ImAnArtistPod.

In this episode, we dive deep into Lost Season 3, Episode 20: “The Man Behind the Curtain,” one of the series' most pivotal hours. We unpack Ben Linus's chilling origin story, the long-teased truth behind his manipulation of the Others, and the episode's game-changing revelations about leadership, mythmaking, and control on the Island. From Richard Alpert's ageless presence to the birth of Ben's lies, we explore how this episode reframes everything we thought we knew about power and destiny in Lost.From there, the conversation transitions into a retrospective discussion of The Leftovers, Damon Lindelof's later, more meditative exploration of grief, faith, and meaning. We compare how both shows wrestle with unanswered questions—Lost through sprawling mythology and plot propulsion, The Leftovers through emotional intimacy and ambiguity. Where Lost invites theorizing and mystery-box speculation, The Leftovers challenges viewers to sit with uncertainty and loss without resolution.Together, we examine the shared DNA between the two series—belief versus skepticism, leaders and followers, trauma as identity—while contrasting their storytelling philosophies. It's a discussion about evolution: how the lessons of Lost echo, mature, and ultimately transform in The Leftovers.

In this episode, we step into one of the most dramatic turning points in Israel's history—the birth of Samson. Before he ever lifted a jawbone or toppled pillars, Samson arrived in a time when the Philistines tightened their grip on Israel for forty long years. We walk through Judges 13 and explore the angelic announcement, the Nazirite vow, and the divine purpose placed on Samson before he was even conceived. From his name meaning “Little Sun” to the stirring of the Spirit in Mahaneh Dan, everything about Samson signaled a man set apart. But we don't stop there. We explore a fascinating possibility: could the legendary Hercules have been inspired by the real-life narrative of Samson? With the tribe of Dan deeply connected to maritime trade, the Denyen, and even early Greek culture, the ancient world may have preserved Samson's feats in mythic form. Similarities between Samson and Hercules are striking—from lion-slaying to miraculous strength to betrayal by a woman. While myth transforms the man, Scripture preserves the truth. And as we lay the historical and cultural groundwork, we prepare the stage for the extraordinary story that unfolds next in Samson's life. Highlights The Philistines oppressed Israel for 40 years before Samson's birth. Manoah and his wife encounter the angel of the Lord, echoing Gideon's story. Samson's Nazirite vow was lifelong and not voluntary. The meaning of Samson's name and its cultural implications. The Nazirite vow is explained in Numbers 6. Historical and archaeological connections between the tribe of Dan, the Denyen, and early Greek culture. Striking parallels between Samson and Hercules. The tribe of Dan's maritime influence and presence in two major locations. Samson's early life and the Spirit of the Lord beginning to stir him.

Tomorrow is the Feast of St. Nicholas, and Father Jonathan shares the real story behind this beloved saint and how families can meaningfully celebrate his feast day.   Many of us grew up with the joy of “St. Nick Night,” waking up on December 6th to small gifts or treats. But behind the tradition stands a remarkable man: St. Nicholas, a bishop from present-day Turkey who loved the Lord with boldness and charity.   He defended the truth at the Council of Nicaea (even famously punching a heretical bishop!), rescued impoverished young women by secretly providing dowries, and became a model of generosity that eventually inspired the gift-giving tradition we know today.   He is the patron saint of children, sailors, and those in need — and his feast day is a perfect opportunity for families to talk about:   • Saints who lived heroic virtue • Bishops and priests who guard the faith • Fathers who protect and provide • The joy of giving secretly and generously   As you celebrate tonight and tomorrow, keep the spirit of St. Nicholas alive in your home and heart — not just in gifts, but in gratitude, courage, and love for the Lord.   St. Nicholas, pray for us!   #StNicholas #FeastDay #CatholicSaints #Advent #CatholicParenting #PeaceOnEarth

It's the most successful and the most maddening play in professional football right now: the tush push. If you're a football fan, you have probably seen the play in action — the one where the Philadelphia Eagles seem to push their quarterback Jalen Hurts over the line to gain a first down, or to score. But you might not know its surprising backstory. In this episode, we bring you the man who helped create this controversial play: Richie Gray, a former rugby coach from a small town in Scotland. Richie tells us how he made his way into the NFL, what he thinks about the tush push controversy, and what makes the play so unstoppable.Show Notes The Tush Push Explained with Kyle Brandt & Dr Neil DeGrasse Tyson | NFL Inside Packers-Eagles battle over banning the tush push | ESPN How a Scottish Rugby Lifer is Changing the Way NFL Teams Tackle | Sports Illustrated Jason Defends the Push, Travis' Record-Breaking Connection and Coach Prime Makes History | New Heights Podcast 26 Minutes of the Tush Push | Philadelphia Eagles Show CreditsExecutive Producer: Tom GrahslerSenior Producer: Michael OlcottProducer: Michaela WinbergAssociate Producer: Bibiana CorreaEngineer: Mike VillersTile Art: Bea WallingSports in America is a production of WHYY, distributed by PRX, and part of the NPR podcast network.

A Note from JamesTupac Shakur—one of the greatest rap artists ever—was shot and killed almost two decades ago. What else is there left to say about him? What new things can be said?Well, Jeff Pearlman's new book, Only God Can Judge Me: The Many Lives of Tupac Shakur, takes on that challenge. In our conversation, we talk about what Jeff uncovered in his research, why he wanted to write another Tupac book, and what made this one different.But first, a little story. Back in the '90s, I was running a company that built websites. Around 1997 or '98, Tupac's mom wanted to release a new album of his music and build a website around it. I went in to pitch the project—$90,000, which would've covered payroll for another month. I needed that deal.So I show up, ready to impress. Tupac's manager says, “Okay, here's my computer. Show me what you've got.” And I realize—I've never used a Windows machine in my life. I'd only ever used Macs. I couldn't even figure out how to turn it on.I had a computer science degree. I was a software engineer. I'd been running this company for years. But in that moment, I had to admit: “I don't know how to use this machine.” He laughed me out of the room. Literally.That was the day I learned that even the smartest pitch can fall apart if you forget to check which operating system you're using.Anyway—what else is there to talk about with Tupac Shakur? Jeff Pearlman and I figured it out.Episode DescriptionIn this episode, James sits down with bestselling author and journalist Jeff Pearlman (The Last Folk Hero, Showtime, Sweetness) to talk about his latest book, Only God Can Judge Me: The Many Lives of Tupac Shakur.Pearlman explores the contradictions, brilliance, and tragedy of Tupac's life—how a performing arts kid from Baltimore became the poetic voice of West Coast hip hop, and how his complex identity was shaped by the Black Panther movement, celebrity culture, and the rise of gangsta rap.James and Jeff unpack Tupac's evolution from Digital Underground hype man to solo artist, his influence on music and film, and the deeper meaning behind songs like Brenda's Got a Baby. They also trace the events leading up to his death, separating myth from reality, and reflect on what Tupac's legacy might have become if he'd lived.What You'll LearnWhy Tupac's “gangster” persona was more performance than realityHow his upbringing under a Black Panther mother shaped his worldviewThe untold story behind Brenda's Got a Baby—and how Pearlman found the real “baby” years laterThe truth about Tupac's relationship with Biggie Smalls and the events that led to both of their deathsWhy Tupac might have gone on to become a political or cultural leader, not just a rapperHow hip hop evolved from the storytelling of the '90s to today's more fragmented soundTimestamped Chapters[00:00] Introduction – James shares his connection to Tupac's world [02:43] A Note from James – The web pitch that went wrong [05:00] Why Jeff Pearlman wrote a Tupac book [07:00] The challenge of writing outside his comfort zone [09:00] Tupac's background and the myth of the “gangsta” image [11:00] The evolution of rap from the '80s to now [16:00] What made Tupac's art different from his peers [18:30] Tupac as a natural actor—and how he almost won an Oscar [21:00] Was his “gangster” side authentic or performance?

Mike met Nick Offerman years ago at the Sasquatch! Music Festival in Washington state, which is fitting because Nick is a man of nature, almost as well known for his woodworking as he is for his acting. After examining the Working It Out studio table, Nick tells Mike about what it was like to act as the straight man to Amy Poehler on Parks and Rec, and more recently prep for his dramatic turn in the film Sovereign. Nick also shares some wisdom from the wood shop care of his new instructional book Little Woodchucks.Please consider donating to Girls Garage Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

It's been six years since Ryan and his longtime editor and collaborator, Stephen Hanselman, first dreamed up the Stoic Virtues Series. In this bonus episode, they reflect on where the idea started, how each book built on the last, and why the four virtues are so deeply connected. Stephen Hanselman has worked for over three decades in publishing as a bookseller, publisher and literary agent. He is a graduate of Harvard Divinity School, where he received a Master's degree while also studying extensively at Harvard's philosophy department.
