Nicholas Binge has lectured in creative writing, co-hosts the 'Binge Reading Book Club' podcast, and has just published his 4th book. It's called 'Extremity'.It follows up the success of 'Professor Everywhere', which won the Proverse Prize for Literature, 'Dissolution', and the bestselling, 'Ascension'. 'Extremity' is a time-travelling police procedural. It follows Julia Torgrimsen, brought out of retirement to investigate the murder of a billionaire she once worked with. When she finds the body... there's an identical one right next to it.We discuss how this book came to be a novella - does the idea dictate the form? Also, you can hear why he found it tricky becoming a full-time writer, why he always tries to celebrate the small wins, and about his winding path to publication.This episode is sponsored by IngramSpark.

Cleveland Food Scene. Today on Flavors Unknown, I sit down with five dynamic culinary voices who are reshaping perceptions of Cleveland and Detroit's food and drink scenes.This panel was recorded during StarChefs Rising Stars in Cleveland, and wouldn't have been possible without the support of Symrise Food & Beverage North America.My guests include:
THE GOOD CITIZEN—This episode is a special one for us here at Magazeum. We even gave it its own code name: “Project Rosebud” (IYKYK). But if you only know our guest as the grandson of the man who inspired the lead character in the film classic Citizen Kane and the founder of one of the largest publishing empires in the world, you are missing out. Will Hearst could have done the easy thing, but he chose not to. As the current chairman of the Hearst Corporation, Will balances stewardship of a sprawling media empire with a commitment to community and lasting value. Unlike the new breed of media moguls, his leadership is less about compliance and more about the continuing importance of fostering quality journalism rooted in place and purpose.But aside from his role as a suit at the Hearst Corporation, Will's labor of love is Alta—an indie quarterly that champions a distinct West Coast voice, providing a vital counterpoint to the East Coast lens that still dominates the national discourse.Alta is crafted to be held and savored—he thinks of its subscribers as members more than a mailing list. In an age dominated by volume, speed, and algorithms, Will Hearst would like to remind us to slow down, listen deeply, and consume wisely. In times like these, his vision seems almost Quixotic—to see media as craft, culture as inheritance, and storytelling as something lasting. Nevertheless, he continues to charge, shaping a legacy both ancient and urgently new.—This episode is made possible by our friends at Commercial Type and Freeport Press.

John 1:1–5 takes us back to the very beginning: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.”John makes it clear—the Word is Jesus. He was present at creation, eternal, and fully God. Not a lesser being, not someone who became divine later, but the light shining in the darkness and the Father of eternity.Join us as we explore how these verses lay the foundation for understanding who Jesus truly is.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------DONATE: https://evidence4faith.org/give/ WEBSITE: https://evidence4faith.org/NEWSLETTER: http://eepurl.com/hpazV5BOOKINGS: https://evidence4faith.org/bookings/CONTACT: Evidence 4 Faith, 349 Knights Ave Kewaskum WI 53040 , info@evidence4faith.orgMy goal is that their hearts, having been knit together in love, may be encouraged, and that they may have all the riches that assurance brings in their understanding of the knowledge of the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. - Colossians 2:2-3CREDITS: Developed & Hosted by Michael Lane.

In this episode, our hosts review Jo Piazza's new thriller "Everyone Is Lying to You", a sharp look at friendship, betrayal, and the dark side of influencer culture. From the curated perfection of “tradwife” aesthetics to the unsettling overlap with alt-right messages and nostalgia, we ask: what's the cost of glamorizing a past where women had little autonomy? Join them as they unpack the lies behind the content, the gap between online personas and real life, and why this story feels so timely.

For centuries, people wondered what makes up life. We can see arms, legs, leaves, or stems—but not everything living has those parts. The answer lies deeper, in something far smaller: cells.Cells are the building blocks of life—tiny structures so small they often require a microscope to see. Some are microscopic, like bacteria, while others are massive in comparison, like an ostrich egg—the largest cell on Earth.But where do cells come from? Science has confirmed what the Bible has declared all along: life comes from life. Cells don't magically appear from chemicals over billions of years. They are designed with breathtaking complexity that points clearly to their Creator—Jesus Christ, who made all things visible and invisible.Join us as we uncover the mystery of cells and see how their intricate design reveals the handiwork of God!-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------DONATE: https://evidence4faith.org/give/ WEBSITE: https://evidence4faith.org/NEWSLETTER: http://eepurl.com/hpazV5BOOKINGS: https://evidence4faith.org/bookings/CONTACT: Evidence 4 Faith, 349 Knights Ave Kewaskum WI 53040 , info@evidence4faith.orgMy goal is that their hearts, having been knit together in love, may be encouraged, and that they may have all the riches that assurance brings in their understanding of the knowledge of the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. - Colossians 2:2-3CREDITS: Developed & Hosted by Michael Lane.

There's something peaceful about lying on warm sand or standing at the edge of the water as the waves lap at your feet. But if you've ever stood long enough, you've noticed how the sand shifts beneath you with each wave. It doesn't take much for the foundation to give way.In this episode, we reflect on Jesus' words in Matthew 7 about the wise man who built his house on the rock versus the foolish man who built on sand. Life offers many things that seem secure—money, possessions, even comfort—but they're only temporary. Just like sand slipping away under your feet, these foundations cannot last.Join us as we explore what it means to build our lives on Christ, the solid rock, the only foundation that will stand firm when the storms come.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------DONATE: https://evidence4faith.org/give/ WEBSITE: https://evidence4faith.org/NEWSLETTER: http://eepurl.com/hpazV5BOOKINGS: https://evidence4faith.org/bookings/CONTACT: Evidence 4 Faith, 349 Knights Ave Kewaskum WI 53040 , info@evidence4faith.orgMy goal is that their hearts, having been knit together in love, may be encouraged, and that they may have all the riches that assurance brings in their understanding of the knowledge of the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. - Colossians 2:2-3CREDITS: Developed & Hosted by Michael Lane.

Nous allons parler des fêtes perpétuelles de l'Éternel déclarées dans l'Ancien Testament. Ces fêtes instaurées par l'Éternel nous annoncent des évènements prophétiques. Cet article Les fêtes d'automne de l'Éternel – 1er partie est apparu en premier sur Publication Évangélique.
Le Covid-19 a bouleversé nos vies. Il y aura toujours un avant et un après mars 2020.Mais malgré l'ampleur du choc collectif, peu d'études se sont penchées sur l'impact réel de cette période sur les enfants et les adolescents.La société a beaucoup exigé du personnel soignant, des enseignants… mais aussi des tout-petits.Et pourtant, leur vécu est resté largement invisible. Aucune reconnaissance, aucun discours politique ne leur a été adressé.Ce vide est aujourd'hui comblé par un collectif de psychologues, mené par Marine Schmoll, qui publie un ouvrage essentiel réunissant leurs constats de terrain.Dans cet épisode, nous revenons ensemble sur cette période marquée par les confinements successifs, l'isolement, le port du masque, la détresse émotionnelle et le silence des institutions à l'égard des plus jeunes…Un retour nécessaire sur une période qui, pour beaucoup, a laissé des traces indélébiles.
THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT—While it's not true that kids don't read, it may be true that adults aren't teaching kids to read. It's also true that today's children face issues that those of the past didn't. And the pandemic—there's that word again—impacted everyone in ways we're still figuring out, including kids. Perhaps especially kids.There are, amazingly, and encouragingly, many new magazines for children of all ages now. One of them is Anyway, a magazine for tweens founded by two mothers—and long-time friends—who grew up loving magazines and, yes, were worried about their kids' screen time. They also knew that tween issues weren't being addressed properly and that a root cause of some of them was a media landscape that pushed consumers, no matter the age, into silos—or communities—where they could go through life unchallenged.Go to the Anyway website and you are confronted with the slogan: “Growing up is hard. You can do it Anyway.“ This speaks to both kids and parents, another reality of a kids magazine that most magazines don't have to face: you have two very specific markets—kids and their parents—and your readership will eventually age out. Meaning the marketing challenges never end even while reader loyalty does. What does that mean for a media brand?—This episode is made possible by our friends at Freeport Press.

We're stepping into the heart of John's Gospel—where every detail points to something greater. The tabernacle wasn't just an ancient tent of worship; it was God's own design, a dwelling place for His people to draw near.John reveals that Jesus is the fulfillment of that plan—the perfect bridge between fallen man and God the Father. Could it be that John even shapes his Gospel around the very structure of the tabernacle itself?Join us as we uncover the rich connections between the Gospel of John and the tabernacle and see how it all leads us closer to Jesus, the true dwelling of God among us.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------DONATE: https://evidence4faith.org/give/ WEBSITE: https://evidence4faith.org/NEWSLETTER: http://eepurl.com/hpazV5BOOKINGS: https://evidence4faith.org/bookings/CONTACT: Evidence 4 Faith, 349 Knights Ave Kewaskum WI 53040 , info@evidence4faith.orgMy goal is that their hearts, having been knit together in love, may be encouraged, and that they may have all the riches that assurance brings in their understanding of the knowledge of the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. - Colossians 2:2-3CREDITS: Developed & Hosted by Michael Lane.

The Royal Irish Academy is delighted to announce the publication of Irish STEM Lives. The book, the latest in the Dictionary of Irish Biography's (DIB) ongoing Lives series, hits bookshelves on 24 September 2025 and the publication will be followed by a launch event held at The Royal Irish Academy on 8 October 2025. Edited by Turlough O'Riordan and Jane Grimson, Irish STEM Lives retraces the extraordinary work and contributions of natural philosophers, mathematicians, engineers, particle physicists, code breakers and many more, through a selection of forty-six exceptional pioneers from the DIB. This book will take the reader on a journey across artificial intelligence, climate change, food safety, transport and communication, touching all the fields of STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) that are integral to modern society. A notable theme of the book is the evolution of the pursuit of knowledge over the past four centuries, covering relevant breakthrough events in STEM history, such as the development of the 'scientific method' in the circle surrounding Robert Boyle and the large-scale particle physics experiments undertaken by John Stewart Bell and Anne Kernan at CERN. Another major theme is the representation of diversity within STEM fields in Ireland. Women in STEM are often overlooked and barely mentioned, relegated to the margins of textbooks despite their crucial contributions to scientific and technological advancements. Irish STEM Lives brings their stories to the forefront: from Mary Ward to Anne Kernan, these women played an essential role in shaping the landscape of science and technology. To honour their invaluable contributions and acknowledge their efforts, the only pictures included in the book are those of female STEM practitioners. This decision was made to challenge the conventional norms of STEM representation. The absence of male figures in the visual elements serves as a reminder that scientific progress is not an endeavour exclusive to men and that women have been, and continue to be, fundamental in driving innovation and discovery, which the editors discuss in their introduction as they delve into the issues impacting women in STEM historically. Turlough O'Riordan, digital editor with the Dictionary of Irish Biography, said: 'The volume represents the rich diversity of achievements across Irish STEM history. The lives collected - across science, technology, engineering and mathematics - provide readers with both a fascinating variety of insights into those domains, alongside an understanding of the amazing women and men behind them'. Jane Grimson MRIA, said: 'Ireland is rightly recognised globally for our many wonderful creative writers. However, what is much less well known is the vital contribution which many women and men, who were either born in Ireland or who worked here, have made to the advancement of STEM across a wide range of areas which are still important today. This volume records their achievements.' Ruth Hegarty, Managing Editor of Publications at the Royal Irish Academy said: 'Irish STEM Lives is an important publication because, by looking at the past, it aims to spark future change. The portraits of women in the book are meant to inspire a new generation of young women to see themselves reflected in these roles and to understand that they, too, can be leaders in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.' Irish STEM Lives is available in bookshops and through the RIA Publishing House via www.ria.ie.

For centuries, scholars debated whether Balaam—wrote about in Numbers 22–24 and elsewhere in Scripture—was a historical figure or merely a literary construct. In the 1960s, a European research team excavating an ancient site uncovered 119 plaster fragments inscribed in Aramaic, interwoven with Canaanite (a Hebrew dialect). Among the writings was a striking reference to Balaam, providing tangible evidence that aligns with the Biblical narrative. How do these fragments illuminate the historical credibility of Balaam and his story?

In this episode of Flavors Unknown, I sit down with Chef Roberto Alcocer, the visionary behind two bold culinary concepts: Malva in Baja California, and Valle, the first Michelin-starred restaurant in Oceanside, California.Born in Mexico City, Roberto's journey is anything but traditional—his story takes us from early resistance at home to elite kitchens in France and Spain, from rustic open-air cooking to high-touch tasting menus rooted in Mexican terroir.We talk about the pressures of perfection, cultural representation in fine dining, and why he believes every great chef has to be “a little cuckoo.” Whether you're a culinary pro, an aspiring chef, or simply a lover of bold flavors and fearless storytelling, this episode offers a raw, honest look into what it takes to bridge two countries through one cuisine.

King David wrote in Psalm 19:1: “The heavens are telling of the glory of God; and their expanse is declaring the work of His hands.” Everywhere we look, creation points us back to the Creator. Even something as ordinary as a coconut tree along the shoreline can preach a powerful truth—God's glory is on display.Yet throughout Scripture we see people who refused to acknowledge Him. Pharaoh hardened his heart against Moses. The Pharisees turned their hearts against Jesus. Hard-heartedness is closing ourselves off to God, even when His presence is all around us.When we look at the towering coconut tree, heavy with fruit, it stands as a reminder: God has surrounded us with evidence of His goodness and power. Nature itself testifies that He is real—and it calls us to keep our hearts open to Him.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------DONATE: https://evidence4faith.org/give/ WEBSITE: https://evidence4faith.org/NEWSLETTER: http://eepurl.com/hpazV5BOOKINGS: https://evidence4faith.org/bookings/CONTACT: Evidence 4 Faith, 349 Knights Ave Kewaskum WI 53040 , info@evidence4faith.orgMy goal is that their hearts, having been knit together in love, may be encouraged, and that they may have all the riches that assurance brings in their understanding of the knowledge of the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. - Colossians 2:2-3CREDITS: Developed & Hosted by Michael Lane.

A MODERN FORM OF WORSHIP—Name the five photographers who, more than any others, defined the dramatic shift in the approach to magazine photography in the late eighties and early nineties. There's Herb Ritts, Bruce Weber, Steven Meisel. Richard Avedon, of course. Who's missing? I'm getting to that.Today's guest was discovered while still a student at ArtCenter College of Design in Los Angeles, by Andy Warhol no less, whose upstart (and budget-deficient) team at "Interview" couldn't afford to send a crew to LA for a shoot. His first subject, newbie director Steven Spielberg, launched his photography career, and soon he was shooting for every magazine you could imagine.We're talking, of course, about Matthew Rolston. He, and his fellow rebels, changed everything by bringing both a sensuality and a sexuality to newsstands that big publishing hadn't seen before. Readers ate it up. Ask him to explain this transformation and you'll get a hot take that will completely change how you think about media and celebrity:“I think glamour—and glamour photography—is a substitute for god and goddess worship. The altar is the photo studio. So the goddess comes to the dressing room like she would've come to the preparation chamber of a temple. She's anointed with oils and potions—that would be the hair and makeup team. She's dressed in symbolic raiment—that would be the styling. And she's led to the altar where the adherents kneel before her—that would be me on the floor with my camera. It is really the same thing. It's just a modern, twisted version of the same impulses that we have to idolize people and worship them.” Just this year ArtCenter, his alma mater, presented the photographer, director, author, artist, and educator with its prestigious Lifetime Achievement Award, honoring both his creative legacy and his role as a mentor to the next generation. It's the perfect moment to look back on his remarkable career, and to hear directly from Rolston himself.Our Anne Quito caught up with Matthew in the lead up to the premiere of an evocative new body of work, "Vanitas: The Palermo Portraits," a site-specific installation at ArtCenter, which premieres this weekend.—This episode is made possible by our friends at Commercial Type and Freeport Press.

God is a God of design—not a God of randomness. Science shows us that things don't just happen by chance. Many people struggle to believe in God, thinking the universe came together through random events. But when we take a closer look, creation itself points us to an intelligent designer - God! In this episode, we'll explore the “Fish Blood Highway” and see how it shouts the existence of our Creator.-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------DONATE: https://evidence4faith.org/give/ WEBSITE: https://evidence4faith.org/NEWSLETTER: http://eepurl.com/hpazV5BOOKINGS: https://evidence4faith.org/bookings/CONTACT: Evidence 4 Faith, 349 Knights Ave Kewaskum WI 53040 , info@evidence4faith.orgMy goal is that their hearts, having been knit together in love, may be encouraged, and that they may have all the riches that assurance brings in their understanding of the knowledge of the mystery of God, namely, Christ, in whom are hidden all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge. - Colossians 2:2-3CREDITS: Developed & Hosted by Michael Lane.

Along the shoreline, washed-up turtle grass tells a quiet story of life, death, and renewal. Once vibrant and full of life beneath the waves, these blades nourished countless creatures, strengthened their environment, and played a vital role in sustaining life. But in time, they too faded, leaving only traces before disappearing into the cycle of creation. In this episode, we reflect on how turtle grass mirrors our own lives—our fleeting time on earth, the impact we leave behind, and God's reminder through the prophet Isaiah that life is but a breath, yet deeply significant in His design.-------------------------------------------------------------------DONATE: https://evidence4faith.org/give/ WEBSITE: https://evidence4faith.org/NEWSLETTER: http://eepurl.com/hpazV5BOOKINGS: https://evidence4faith.org/bookings/CONTACT: Evidence 4 Faith, 349 Knights Ave Kewaskum WI 53040 , info@evidence4faith.orgCREDITS: Developed & Hosted by Michael Lane.

“Voice is back—and with AI, network APIs, and VCons, we're moving from channels to intelligent engagement.” — Kevin Nethercott & Rob Kurver, CPaaS Acceleration Alliance Kevin Nethercott and Rob Kurver of the CPaaS Acceleration Alliance (CPaaSAA) joined Doug Green, Publisher of Technology Reseller News, to preview their Member Summit in Amsterdam, September 22–24 and to chart where programmable communications is headed next. Born from messaging (SMS/A2P), CPaaS now spans voice, video, UCaaS/CCaaS integrations, and carrier network APIs. With AI and the emerging VCon standard (an IETF effort to containerize conversational data across voice, chat, email, and web), CPaaSAA frames the industry's North Star as “intelligent engagement”—outcomes-focused solutions that unify channels, data, and automation. Alliance momentum & event focus 120+ member companies across platforms and operators; ~50 speakers from 20+ countries; curated, senior-level audience. Launch of a Case Directory (120+ commercially available use cases) organized by vertical and region, reflecting where buyers are actually seeing ROI. Publication of the State of CPaaS insights and formation of a VCon working group to accelerate standards adoption and go-to-market patterns. Partnerships highlighted with GSMA and the VCon Foundation. Why this matters now With pandemic-era “Zoom times” behind us, the market is prioritizing profitability and stickiness. CPaaS winners are moving beyond horizontal APIs to verticalized, regulated, and region-specific applications. Example: a Redisys operator solution that uses AI in the core network to improve call intelligibility for people who are hard of hearing—a high-value, retention-friendly use case affecting ~15–18% of users. Takeaways for enterprises and partners Monetize voice again: AI + VCons make conversations machine-usable, improving CX and analytics. Differentiate with network APIs: Security, identity, and authentication services move CPaaS beyond messaging. Build for outcomes: Package solutions by industry and locality; not everything works everywhere the same way. Standardize the data layer: VCons are poised to do for conversations what SIP did for signaling. For membership and summit details, visit cpaasaa.com

WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?—Josh Jones has done a lot of things when it comes to magazines: Editor. Writer. Maker. Custom publisher. Mentor. Evangelist. All of the above. Has Josh helped write a book about hip hop in Mongolia? Yes. Has he sat back and watched Gordon Ramsey mash his face into a sandwich? Indeed. Has he written an instructive how to book that reminds the reader to always lift a box of magazines by bending one's knees? Yes, again. For more than 20 years, Josh has been creating magazines, both for resolutely indie concerns and reasons, but also custom publications for the likes of The North Face, Red Bull, Interscope and Nike. And while he has no illusions about the challenges the industry faces, he's also resolutely optimistic about a world that he loves, so much so that his “field guide to publishing an indie magazine” Just Make Your Magazine is, true to its subhead, the “fastest selling self help book.” OK, I don't know if that's true. It probably isn't if I'm being honest. But still. You speak to him and you become an optimist. And this is not just because, as he says in the book, “indie magazine making has never been more popular.”It's also because, and perhaps caught up in the same optimism, I suggest that it's possible we are over the Print Panic of the mid aughts and the industry, as a whole, is now back on a sustained kind of upswing. That's an idea we're going to explore on the show this season. Because there has to be some things that are right in the world, damnit.—This episode is made possible by our friends at Freeport Press.

GUARDIAN AT THE GATEFOLD—Today's guest has become almost synonymous with graphic design and editorial publishing. His career began in the defiant New York “sex press” of the late 1960s, where not-actually-that-surprisingly, as a teenager he was already art-directing magazines like Screw and The New York Review of Sex. That unlikely starting point gave him a rare education in the power of design to command attention and shape meaning.We're talking about designer, author, editor, educator, and true legend, Steven Heller.Heller went on to spend more than three decades at The New York Times, most memorably as art director of The New York Times Book Review. There, he transformed the visual life of the section, commissioning bold, original illustration and making the case—over and over again—that design is not ornamental but integral to editorial voice. Through his advocacy, he helped elevate the status of designers in publishing offices, giving visual thinkers a seat at the table alongside editors and writers.Beyond the newsroom, Heller has been prolific almost to the point of obsession. He has written, edited, or co-authored more than two hundred books on design, creating an extraordinary record of the field's history, ideas, and influences. And most recently, he turned that critical eye inward with his memoir, Growing Up Underground, a candid account of his early years in New York's counterculture publishing scene.Steve is a practitioner, a chronicler, and an advocate for design—and he's also part of the team here at Magazeum. We are thrilled to turn the mic on him for this special conversation.—This episode is made possible by our friends at Commercial Type and Freeport Press. A production of Magazeum LLC ©2021–2025

In Romans 12:13, we're reminded: “Share with God's people who are in need. Practice hospitality.” Just like mangroves standing strong together against the waves, we're called to meet the needs of others—offering food, companionship, encouragement, or simply a listening ear. In this episode, we reflect on how true hospitality strengthens both the giver and the receiver, and how God designed us to hold each other up when the storms of life hit hardest.CREDITS: Developed & Hosted by Michael Lane.

Welcome to Devotions by the Sea, our brand-new devotional series where we take everyday elements of God's creation and discover His truth in them. In this episode, Waves of the Sea, we dive into James 1:5-6, where Scripture reminds us that if we lack wisdom, we can ask God, who gives generously to all.Just like waves are not random splashes, but powerful forces of energy moving through the water—caused by wind, tides, and even storms—our faith is shaped by what moves us. God uses the imagery of waves to describe how people respond to faith: sometimes steady, sometimes tossed about.But wisdom is more than head knowledge. It's not just facts—it's God's truth guiding our steps. He has a plan and purpose for each of us, and He longs for us to discover it. The question is: How do we find out what that plan is?Join us as we unpack the beauty of waves, the depth of God's wisdom, and the assurance that when we seek Him, He will guide us with clarity and purpose.------------------------------------------------------------------------------CREDITS: Developed & Hosted by Michael Lane.

At Brinton-on-Sea, the summer passed in gentle rhythms. Mariella and her young fiancé read side by side on the beach, swam together in the quiet sea, while her parents looked on from their chairs. Nothing seemed amiss. But something was. She said nothing, yet her smiles grew thinner, her sleep unsettled. Her eyes lingered too long on nothing at all. And in the evenings, the air inside the house felt changed—thickened, as if it held its breath. Whatever troubled her was unseen, but it was growing.

IThis week on Flavors Unknown, I travel to San Juan, Puerto Rico to speak with Chef Carlos Portela, the visionary behind Orujo Taller de Gastronomía — a genre-defying restaurant where there's no printed menu, no scripted experience, and no boundaries between kitchen and guest.With up to 25 ever-evolving courses rooted in fire, fermentation, and emotionally charged memory, Chef Portela is redefining what Puerto Rican cuisine can be. From his decision to eliminate gas systems and cook exclusively over wood fire, to sourcing 100% local ingredients — even sending foragers into the wild — Carlos is building a culinary philosophy rooted in place, process, and presence.In this episode, we explore:How his grandmother's kitchen shaped his food philosophyWhy he almost became a magician instead of a chefThe story behind the name OrujoHis approach to inspiration, failure, and reinventionWhy cooking is not a job, but a way of lifeThis is a deep, raw, and radical conversation that challenges what a restaurant can be — and how chefs can reimagine identity through food.

Hey babes, here you go, another excellent human delivered right to your earbuds, for all your listening pleasure! Rohini Walker is, quite simply, someone who will dive into the darkness, the silence, with each and every one of us, and then RE-MEMBER us into our bones, our bodies, our SELVES! In that way she is a maker of souls, a healer of humans, an excavator and reclaimer of US, of what we are and what we can BECOME! She absolutely does not shy away from the deep, dark, because she knows, that all too often, that is where the treasure lies! And her miracle moment, well, that she shares is one from her childhood, one that keeps her going and reminds her that the separation we think we feel and we sense from birth, is all, in the end, an ILLUSION! To read up on this treasure finder, here is her website! To check out her Substack, click here! And guess what? She has her own podcast, Root + Rise, so stop everything you are doing and listen here! And BTW, here is the link to her Publication, "Lux Arcana", which is so dreamy and delicious it might just make you dance in the streets! Your bit of beauty is this gorgeous article about Rohini and Chandra, and their love for eachother. I myself believe that Stories Make This World, unlike Trickster, but bring them both together and you're practically unstoppable. (thanks Lewis Hyde for Trickster Makes This World, but I prefer stories!) PLEASE RATE AND REVIEW...it makes my heart happy! xoxo
