Today, we're airing a Radio Cherry Bombe episode with amateur baker and Google UX expert Elisa Sunga, the founder of Cake Picnic. She was hoping 15 folks would attend the very first Cake Picnic; more than 300 folks RSVP'd. The first rule of Cake Picnic is simple: “No cake, no entry.” Today, people are DM'ing and emailing her from around the world, asking for Elisa to bring Cake Picnic to their town. She already has a 7,000-person waitlist for the gathering scheduled for New York. Elisa joins host Kerry Diamond to unpack the popularity of Cake Picnic and the unexpected momentum behind it. They explore how her background in UX design at Google informs her approach to community-building, her online persona, and the story behind the Bucket List Bake Club. Plus, she shares how Cake Picnic has become a reflection of a broader cultural hunger for joy, connection, and creative expression.Jubilee L.A. tickets are on sale now!Summer Tastemaker Tour in Nashville on 8/15Get The Power IssueVisit cherrybombe.com for subscriptions, show transcripts, and tickets to upcoming events.More on Elisa: Instagram, Cake Picnic, Salted RyeMore on Jessie: Instagram, “Salty, Cheesy, Herby, Crispy Snackable Bakes” cookbook

Na jaren van juridisch bekvechten was de kogel door de kerk: Picnic is een supermarkt. Nou, eventjes dan. In het hoger beroep, in de zaak door vakbonden FNV en CNV, ving de online supermarkt twee weken geleden opnieuw bot. 35.000 medewerkers van Picnic hebben recht op nabetalingen betalingen over 13 september 2022 tot en met 1 juli 2023. Maar het laatste woord is nog niet gezegd over het hokje waar Picnic in past. In ‘De top van Nederland’ heeft presentator Thomas van Zijl een uitgebreid gesprek met Michiel Muller, medeoprichter van Picnic. Over Picnic Picnic is een online supermarkt en boodschappenbezorger. Het bedrijf is actief in Nederland, maar groeit ook door in Duitsland en Frankrijk. Over Thomas van Zijl Thomas van Zijl is financieel journalist en presentator bij BNR.

It's Valentine's Day in the state of Victoria, Australia in the year 1900. A group from a local girls' school goes on an excursion to the foot of an eerie, vast geological formation called Hanging Rock. Three girls and one schoolteacher climb up to explore it. All but one are never seen again. This summary constitutes the essential plot but only the first act of Peter Weir's 1975 film, based on the novel by Joan Lindsay. The remaining two acts concern the surviving characters' struggle to make sense of what happened on the rock. Yet, sense is not what the film intends to deliver. Rather, it's an anti-mystery that dismantles the nature of the mystery story itself—its love of solutions, its neat settling of the uncertainties that crime or menace introduce. What happens, this film asks, when an event resists the imposition of order, stands beyond the reach of logic or even language? Wes & Erin discuss “Picnic at Hanging Rock.”

WHAT HAPPENS IN THIS EPISODE? How do you handle crowds? Jesus knew how. For a crowd of probably over 10,000 people, he provides teaching and healing and food. With just five loaves of bread and two pieces of fish, the crowd sits down to a picnic. When his friends get into serious trouble at sea, Jesus comes to them in a surprising way. He even invites an apostle to join him! The crowd is still with them – they've followed him across the sea. There is more teaching; this time it's tougher. How can Jesus be the Bread of Life?

Archie Andrews 48-08-21 Going on a Picnic

La regidora i partit popular a l'Ajuntament de Sitges, Eva García, ha lamentat la inacció del govern municipal que ha endarrerit la possibilitat de buscar una solució de poble al possible enderroc de Kansas, Picnic i Club de Mar. García ha fet valer la proposició de llei impulsada pel seu partit al Congrés dels Diputats per modificar la Llei de Costes com a possible via per salvar les instal·lacions, tot i que ha reconegut la incertesa sobre el que pot passar, amb tot d'iniciatives creuades. La portaveu del PP ha suspés el govern, que ha definit com de minoria absoluta, en la meitat d'una legislatura marcada per la investigació de la Taula del Tercer Sector. Precisament, García ha lamentat que el govern no vulgui tirar endavant la comissió sobre el cas per la manca de declaració d'un càrrec electe que no ha estat notificat. La també diputada popular al Parlament creu que el govern ha volgut ignorar la moció que l'instava a municipalitzar les instal·lacions del Club Natació, quan la subhasta pot acabar sent una pèrdua patrimonial. Amb la responsable del PP també hem parlat dels pisos de promoció, que segons diu arriben tard quan s'ha ignorat el problema amb els de la Caixa; de l'emergència educativa, sobre la que es va aprovar unànimament una resolució del Parlament; de la neteja, que té pendent el concurs; o del top manta, sobre el que recomana la solució policial que ha adoptat l'ajuntament de Castelldefels. L'entrada Eva García suspèn el govern en tots els temes pendents de mitja legislatura ha aparegut primer a Radio Maricel.

CLOSE OF THE COLD WAR:     3/4: The Picnic:A Dream of Freedom and the Collapse of the Iron Curtain by  Matthew Longo  (Author) https://www.amazon.com/Picnic-Dream-Freedom-Collapse-Curtain/dp/0393540774/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=&sr= In August 1989, a group of Hungarian activists organized a picnic on the border of Hungary and Austria. But this was not an ordinary picnic―it was located on the dangerous militarized frontier known as the Iron Curtain. Tacit permission from the highest state authorities could be revoked at any moment. On wisps of rumor, thousands of East German “vacationers” packed Hungarian campgrounds, awaiting an opportunity, fearing prison, surveilled by lurking Stasi agents. The Pan-European Picnic set the stage for the greatest border breach in Cold War history: hundreds crossed from the Communist East to the longed-for freedom of the West. Drawing on dozens of original interviews―including Hungarian activists and border guards, East German refugees, Stasi secret police, and the last Communist prime minister of Hungary―Matthew Longo tells a gripping and revelatory tale of the unraveling of the Iron Curtain and the birth of a new world order. Just a few months after the Picnic, the Berlin Wall fell, and the freedom for which the activists and refugees had abandoned their homes, risked imprisonment, sacrificed jobs, family, and friends, was suddenly available to everyone. But were they really free? And why, three decades since the Iron Curtain was torn down, have so many sought once again to build walls? Cinematically told, The Picnic recovers a time when it seemed possible for the world to change. With insight and panache, Longo explores the opportunities taken―and the opportunities we failed to take―in that pivotal moment. 1994 ROMANIA
