Securing her second chart-topper in each market after The Secret Of Us, the 16-track album also ranks as the best-selling vinyl release in both countries and extends her UK Top 5 streak to three consecutive projects. Abrams, daughter of filmmaker J.J. Abrams, performed “Minibar” on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and discussed the record's rebellious teenage inspirations. Analytic Dreamz explores the international chart dominance, vinyl success, female artist sweep, and her upcoming UK and European arena tour later in 2026.Privacy & Opt-Out: https://redcircle.com/privacy

In the spring of 2026, Anthropic released to the public what it described as its most capable AI model to date... and then the U.S. government shut it down seventy-two hours later. That subsequent sequence of events, both strange and almost operatic in its timing, is the kind of thing we might genuinely call "unprecedented." It was also a crystalline illustration of something philosophers have been decrying for decades, namely, the difference between performing ethical responsibility and actually exercising it.What does it mean to reason morally about the risks of a technology about which we do not yet fully understand its potential future impacts? Given that a very small number of decisionmakers will shape the conditions of life for everyone else for the next several decades, what do they owe to the people who will bear the consequences of those decisions without having had any say in them? When "ethical AI" has become a brand strategy rather than a careful, historically-informed and theoretically-grounded practice, how do we hold anyone accountable for the gap between what they say and what they do?Grab a drink and join our co-host Leigh M. Johnson as she asks us to consider exactly how sloppy the current "AI ethics" discourse is, what moral reasoning actually requires. and why the people who most need to be doing it seem to be the ones least interested in the task.Full episode notes available at this link:https://hotelbarpodcast.com/podcast/mythosfablefarce---------------------SUBSCRIBE to the podcast now to automatically download new episodes!SUPPORT Hotel Bar Sessions podcast on Patreon here!

We tend to think of art as something you look at — a canvas on a wall, an object behind velvet rope, something that holds still while you decide what you think of it. But a tradition in contemporary art has spent the better part of sixty years insisting that this picture is wrong. The artwork isn't the object. It's your body moving through the space it creates. In this minibar episode, Bob Vallier draws on his work in phenomenology to make the case that some of the stranger, more provocative, and occasionally illegal-by-contemporary-standards experiments in post-war art are best understood not as aesthetic puzzles to be solved but as invitations to notice something you're always already doing: being a body in a world that pushes back. Full episode notes available at this link:https://hotelbarpodcast.com/podcast/artandphenomenology---------------------SUBSCRIBE to the podcast now to automatically download new episodes!SUPPORT Hotel Bar Sessions podcast on Patreon here!

Why do AI's fabricated memories "feel" so true?Hotel Bar Sessions is currently between seasons and while our co-hosts are hard at work researching and recording next season's episodes, we don't want to leave our listeners without content! So, as we have in the past, we've given each co-host the opportunity to record a "Minibar" episode-- think of it as a shorter version of our regular conversations, only this time the co-host is stuck inside their hotel room with whatever is left in the minibar... and you are their only conversant!AI engineers and designers are currently, and rightly, focused on minimizing the deleterious effects of AI's three primary "memory problems"-- hallucinations, catastrophic forgetting, and bias-- but in this Minibar episode, HBS co-host Leigh M. Johnson argues that none of these problems can be design-engineered away. They are, according to Johnson, baked-in and unavoidable structural elements of any language-based system reliant on an archive.Borrowing from Jacques Derrida's work on archives, language, and memory, Johnson argues that we should think more seriously about the manner in which LLM's outputs come to us cloaked in the garb of memory. We take AI hallucinations, for example, to be true because they inspire in us a feeling of nostalgia... something that we could have remembered, perhaps even should have remembered, but didn't.Or didn't we?Tune in for the first episode of Season 15 on January 23, 2026!Full episode notes available at this link:https://hotelbarpodcast.com/minibar-algorithmic-noslagia---------------------SUBSCRIBE to the podcast now to automatically download new episodes!SUPPORT Hotel Bar Sessions podcast on Patreon here!

(Bob was on the bike!). The pain, the trauma, the rehab-- and the friendships that showed up along the way to help manage it all-- turned out to be an unexpected lesson in not only what able-bodied people naively assume about their world, but also what  insights can be gleaned from the sudden interruption of those naive assumptions.Turns out, according to Bob, there's a lot more that's funny about our finitude than is immediately obvious in our pain!Tune in for the first episode of Season 15 on January 23, 2026!Full episode notes available at this link:https://hotelbarpodcast.com/minibar-pain---------------------SUBSCRIBE to the podcast now to automatically download new episodes!SUPPORT Hotel Bar Sessions podcast on Patreon here!

We'll run through the Lemonade Park calendar and hear music from some acts on its lineup, including The String & Return, Company Retreat, Keo&Them, The Soul Activators, Brother Moses, and maybe more.In addition to Season To Risk having a KC tour stop on the books, April 23 at recordBar, many of Steve's other bands have upcoming gigs, we'll talk about those gigs and hear music from some of them:• 04/20/25 Dan Jones and The Squids with mssv, Mike Bagetta & Stephen Hodges, and Mike Watt at recordBar• 05/13/25 Roman Numerals with Gang Of Four at Knuckleheads Kansas• 05/16/25 MEN of MEN (Take On Bowie) at The Ship• 06/05/25 Drop A Grand with Peelander-Z at recordBarTune in at 6PM on Tuesday for a great conversation about KC music and for a great selection of music. It should be a good one.

We'll dive into a stack of new releases from KC bands and musicians.Kicking off the show, we'll debut the brand new single from Hembree, “Don't Look Down” - then catch them on Saturday at Warehouse On Broadway with Post Sex Nachos and Paris Williams.Then we'll hear music from Me Like Bees (at The Bottleneck on 4/12), Danielle Ate the Sandwich, Honeybee, David Luther (at Lucia on 4/18), IVORY BLUE, Car Microwave (at miniBar on 5/2), Mad Joy, and Angie Fights Crime.We'll also hear Kansas City's Theme for The FIFA World Cup from Tech N9ne (at Boulevardia on 6/14). In case you missed it, The World Cup is happening in June/July 2026 and KC is one of 16 host cities. Each city was given a base track to use, dress up, and make their own.Did you know Kansas City is the smallest of the 16 host cities in North America? With that, what city's World Cup Theme do you think has the most spins on Spotify? We'll talk about it on the show today at 6PM.We'll wrap up the show with a (politely) persistent musician from Des Moines, Dan Tedesco. He's emailed me six times and asked us to check out his music, we'll share one of his songs, and if you like what you hear you can catch him at Knuckleheads this Saturday.
