CEO of The Onion Ben Collins joins Roth to talk about running The Onion. How does a private citizen actually buy a long-standing-and-at-the-time-languishing satirical newspaper?

When Mary O'Carroll arrived at Goodwin, she didn't expect to find a "General Counsel in Residence" — and certainly not one with the powerhouse career of Genevieve Kelly. In this episode, Mary sits down with Genevieve, whose career includes GC and CLO roles at household names like Panera Bread, Petco, and Dole Food Company. Together, they dive deep into what it really takes to lead legal functions inside massive global organizations — and what Genevieve has learned transitioning between companies, cultures, and leadership roles. In this episode: Homegrown GC: How Genevieve rose from assistant GC to GC at Dole — and why understanding the business was her secret weapon. Leading Without a Safety Net: The challenges of taking over legal departments where she didn't have built-in relationships — and how trust became her most critical asset. The Pandemic Lessons: Remote leadership at Panera during COVID and why face-to-face relationships still matter more than ever. Outside Counsel Secrets: What law firms often miss when partnering with in-house teams — and why understanding "what great looks like" is crucial. Public vs. Private Life: How the general counsel's role shifts dramatically between public and private companies, especially around governance. What Makes the Right Fit: Genevieve shares what she looks for in her next role, and how "fit" and "entrepreneurial spirit" are more important than flashy titles. AI, Innovation, and the New GC: A frank look at how AI is reshaping the future of legal work, and why in-house teams and law firms need to rethink their value propositions — fast. If you're charting your path to GC, leading through change, or just curious about how legal leadership is evolving, this conversation is packed with real talk and hard-won insights.

Author's Note: Hey everyone, delete your download and re-download this to get an episode that doesn't cut off after 19 and a half minutes. Not sure why it happened as it showed the full episode on my end, but it should be fixed now. Sorry for the inconvenience! We finally ate at Panera Bread — and while the bakery items impressed, the rest of the experience was a chaotic medley of kiosk confusion, bathroom code injustice, and raw onion overload. I'm joined once again by Lyss Johnson (comedian, friend, and former Panera employee) as we break down every detail of our in-person visit to the iconic soup-slinging, salad-stacking chain. Can the cinnamon crunch bagel save this spot from mediocrity? Or is Panera coasting on vibes and vending machine tech?

On this week's Extra Serving, NRN editor in chief Sam Oches and executive editor Alicia Kelso discuss the recent report that McDonald's had surpassed Starbucks in global brand valuation. After an eight-year run at the top, Starbucks' valuation declined 36% last year to drop it to No. 2, and Sam and Alicia talk about the significance of this change and some other surprises in the top 10 most valuable restaurant companies. Then they discuss Dutch Bros' decision to enter the consumer packaged goods space by putting its ground coffee on retail shelves. This move follows other chains entering the retail category, and Sam and Alicia talk about how this could be influenced by consumers pulling back on restaurant spending due to inflation. Next up is the continued struggles of casual-dining chains, which was put in sharp relief by Bar Louie's decision to file for chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. Is this a bad sign for the full-service category? And in this week's extra serving, senior editor Joanna Fantozzi joins to talk about Panera's announcement that interim CEO Paul Carbone would lose the “interim” tag and lead the brand into the future — a future that seems to be driven less by quality and more by value and convenience.

Every week, Drew and Roth tackle subjects, both serious and impossibly stupid, with a parade of guests from around the world of sports and media joining in the fun! Roth and Drew also field Funbag questions from Defector readers, answer listener voicemails, and get upset about the number of people who use speakerphone while in a public bathroom stall. This is a show where everything matters, because everyone could use a Distraction. Head to defector.com for more info.
