In parts of Texas, a kolache is about as common as a donut — but it's relatively unknown outside the Lone Star State. The kolache is a traditional Czech pastry made with a sweetened, yeasty dough and filled with either fruit, cheese or sausage. It got a foothold in Texas after a wave of Czech immigrants came to the state more than a century ago. This week, Alexa Lim, a producer on The Atlas Obscura Podcast, explores the Kolache Triangle, an area between San Antonio, Houston, and Dallas where you'll find some of the oldest and most popular kolache bakeries. Then, Dan heads to Brooklyn to meet a husband and wife duo who are bringing kolaches to the Big Apple with their bakery, Kings Kolache. And Dan brings along the most hardcore Texan he knows, to find out how these kolaches rank with the ones from back home.If you want to try some traditional Czech style kolaches, check out Helli's Goodies — they ship anywhere in the US!The Sporkful production team includes Dan Pashman, Emma Morgenstern, Andres O'Hara, Kameel Stanley, Jared O'Connell, and Giulia Leo.

This was supposed to be the Queens Night Market's big summer... When the open-air market debuted in 2015, the crowds were massive. Founder John Wang selected food vendors who represented more than 90 countries. And he had one rule for them: no item could cost more than $5. That way the market would be accessible to nearly everyone, and big businesses would stay away. In 2019 the market set a new record for attendance, and finally started to turn a small profit. In 2020 they planned to release a cookbook. Instead, because of coronavirus, the market never opened. This week, to understand some of what we've lost to the pandemic, we share a vivid reminder of what we had.This episode originally aired on September 7, 2020, and was produced by Dan Pashman, Emma Morgenstern, Andres O'Hara, edited by Tracey Samuelson, and engineered by Jared O'Connell.

It's one of the oldest sins in the world, and yet somehow still the most unthinkable: the exploitation of children by the powerful. And if recent revelations are even half true, America isn't just tolerating it — we may be systematizing it.In 1885, a British journalist exposed a hidden network of child brothels in London's West End — a story so horrific it was dubbed The Maiden Tribute of Modern Babylon. The outcry shook Parliament. A generation later, the Japanese Empire trafficked over 200,000 young women — many underage — as “comfort women” for its soldiers in World War II.This evil isn't new. It's old. It's persistent. And it always hides behind institutions that claim to serve the weak.Today, figures like RFK Jr. are alleging that the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services has served not as a barrier to trafficking, but as a facilitator. Meanwhile, Sean “Diddy” Combs faces a mounting storm of accusations — not just from the media, but from over 80 civil litigants, some of whom were underage at the time of the alleged abuse.The world calls it conspiracy. But what if it's just exposure?This episode is brought to you by our premier sponsors, Armored Republic and Reece Fund, as well as our Patreon members and donors.

Important Quotes from the podcast on Business and Entrepreneurship   There is no skill called “business.” Avoid business magazines and business classes. - Naval Ravikant   You have to work up to the point where you can own equity in a business. You could own equity as a small shareholder where you bought stock. You could also own it as an owner where you started the company. Ownership is really important.     Everybody who really makes money at some point owns a piece of a product, a business, or some IP. That can be through stock options if you work at a tech company. That's a fine way to start.  Quotes from Nat: “Writing is the one thing I love doing enough to commit to for the next 30 years.” “Traditional publishing taught me how to make a really good book, but I wouldn't do it again.” “Holding your book for the first time—and shipping it yourself to your first readers—is pure magic.” “The best marketing for your book is writing the next one—that's the fiction game.” “I used to chase whatever was interesting… now I'm building something I want to last 30 years.” “Fiction lets me explore big ideas without pretending to be an expert.” “The self-pub stigma is fading… especially when the book looks and reads like a trad pub hit.” “Characters start doing things I didn't plan—then I realize, oh, that's why they're here.” “There's no product in the world like a book—you can sell the same file for 50 years.” “My dream is to have a warehouse full of books I wrote. That's the romantic version of success.”

“All love is risky. People die, they leave, they don't listen to you—but you love them anyway.” — Virginia DeLuca When Virginia DeLuca's husband unexpectedly walked out on their marriage in his 60s—claiming he wanted children—her gut reaction wasn't just heartbreak. It was: If you must go, I wish you triplets. That quip became the title of her deeply honest and darkly humorous memoir. In this episode of Uncorking a Story, Virginia joins Mike Carlon to talk about grief, personal reinvention, writing as therapy, and why putting your story out into the world is an act of both courage and compassion. Key Themes: Writing is healing – Virginia began writing her memoir the moment her husband walked out, using it to make sense of her emotional shock. You can't control others—only your reaction – A central theme in Virginia's journey is the power of choosing your response when life veers off script. Grief is a lifelong relationship – Whether it's a sibling lost decades ago or a recent heartbreak, grief evolves with us and often deepens our compassion. Snark can be survival – The title of her book, while cheeky, came from a place of real pain—and became a tool for reclaiming her story. Memoir is exposure – Writing a memoir is an act of radical vulnerability, especially for someone who identifies as private, not performative. Publishing is a rollercoaster – Virginia shares her path from agent rejections to finding a supportive home at a student-run university press. Not everyone understands your pain—but that's okay – From parenting to heartbreak, sometimes the only validation you need is your own.

For decades, liberals have assured us that history only moves in one direction—toward so-called "progress." They built their entire moral framework on the idea that the past was oppressive, the present is enlightened, and the future is an inevitable march toward egalitarian utopia. But lately, reality has been catching up with their delusions.Across the political spectrum, a once unthinkable idea has resurfaced: the repeal of the 19th Amendment. What was once the domain of obscure reactionary circles is now a growing conversation in mainstream politics. Even Project 2025—the policy blueprint that sent the left into a full-blown panic—was accused of making this one of its long-term goals. Why? Because history isn't just some endless progressive revolution. It is the unfolding of God's created order, and that order—no matter how much they resist it—always reasserts itself.We are witnessing the slow but certain return of nature. The distinctions between men and women, once blurred by Marxist ideology and evangelical cowardice, are becoming undeniable again. Feminism is collapsing under the weight of its own contradictions, and the left, which once mocked the idea of patriarchal governance, now finds itself terrified by the growing number of men and women rejecting their lies.For over a century, the progressives—alongside their naïve Christian allies—labored to erase the natural order, calling it "justice" while dismantling the very structures that held civilization together. But they were wrong. The world was never meant to be built on their abstractions. The past they despise is returning. And the real question is: Who will have the courage to welcome it?This episode is brought to you by our premier sponsors, Armored Republic and Reece Fund, as well as our Patreon members and donors.

Tyler hosts a dynamic discussion on comics crowdfunding with a panel that includes prolific illustrators, an experienced writer and a literary agent!

Comics Anthology for Kids", "The Road to Oz" creator Amin Amat, and writer Grant Lankard (League of Cryptids).

First we chat about a weird little chupacabra play Ben saw, then discuss the conspiracies that have metastasized from Joe Biden's prostate cancer and the resurgence of our old nemesis the Food Babe. For our main topic, we have esteemed historian of magic Owen Davies, who wrote the book (two, actually) on grimoires. In pop culture we see them in horror movies, comic books and even old children's movies like "Bedknobs and Broomsticks," but real (or "real") grimoires have been an ever-present relic for thousands of years. Grimoires are a mix of magic, marketing, fraud -- and sometimes blood -- and they have evolved along with the changes in ancient information technology, i.e., parchment and the printing press. From the Grand Grimoire of the early 18th century to Lovecraft to the pulp grimoires of the 1960s, magical words and demonic conjurations have gotten around one way or another.

A 150-year-old blood feud over processed meat... When the New Jersey State Legislature tried to designate an Official State Sandwich, a fight broke out. Should it be pork roll, egg, and cheese — or Taylor ham, egg, and cheese? Thing is, pork roll and Taylor ham are the same food. New Jerseyans just can't agree on what to call it. And this debate has its roots in a 150-year-old blood feud. We talk with a bunch of locals, a pork roll historian, and comedian Chris Gethard to find out: What is this food? Why does it matter so much to the people of New Jersey? And why can't they stop fighting about it?This episode originally aired on May 3, 2020, and was produced by Dan Pashman, Anne Saini, and Shoshana Gold, editing from Dan Charles, engineering from Chase Culpon, Bill O'Neill, and Irene Trudel, additional reporting for this episode by Kyrie Greenberg.

Shortly before His ascension, our Savior commanded his followers to "Go and disciple all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit," and to teach them "all that [He] had commanded them." In pursuit of this command the Apostles and their successors commenced a multi-century struggle to preserve the faith once delivered and declare it to the nations. These men, our spiritual fathers, laid the foundations of the Church and preached the Gospel to every city they could, frequently inviting the wrath of the pagan authorities for upsetting the pax deorum, the peace of the gods. Most of the Apostles would be martyred, along with many later men like Polycarp of Smyrna—a bishop and disciple of John—and Cyprian of Carthage.But divine providence would change this state of affairs over a mere few decades. Not long after the Diocletian persecution of the early 4th century, Flavius Valerius Constantinus, or Constantine the Great, would ascend to dominance over the Western half of the Roman Empire. Constantine would adopt the Christian faith, and by consequence he would set off a chain of events that saw the increasing fulfillment of the prophecy of Isaiah, that the Law would go out from Zion, and the Lord would judge between the nations.His successors would solidify his Christian measures, culminating in the declaration of Nicene Christianity as the official faith of the empire through the Edict of Thessalonica, delivered by Emperor Theodosius I in A.D. 380. Though paganism did not disappear overnight, these decrees oriented the Roman state and eventually other European kingdoms towards the full dominance of Christianity in all parts of their kingdoms, to the point that even our mere knowledge of various pre-Christian folk religions is patchy—sometimes pure conjecture.It was by these means that the faith would dominate Europe, and through the European empires be exported across the globe. Further, the intellectual development of the faith that we enjoy today was done under the patronage of princes, guaranteeing the time, resources, and security necessary for theologians of old to exercise their gifts. Though the preaching of the Word was the absolutely essential spark that lit the flame of the faith, it was the Christian magistrate who carried the torch and spread the light into all spheres, and thus fulfilled the prophecy of David: Blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.This episode is brought to you by our premier sponsors, Armored Republic and Reece Fund, as well as our Patreon members and donors.

THE PERSON BEHIND THE PERSON BEHIND THE CAMERA—Close your eyes and picture a classic Rolling Stone cover. Dozens probably come to mind—portraits of music legends, movie stars, political icons, cultural rebels. Bruce. Bono. Madonna. These images are etched into our cultural memory as more than mere photographs. They're statements.But when we remember the cover, and maybe even the photographer, how often do we remember the person who made it all happen? The one who dreamed up the concept, found the right photographer, navigated the logistics, managed the personalities, and ultimately brought that unforgettable image to life?It's the photo editor. But who thinks about the photo editor?Photo editors are essential—especially at a magazine like Rolling Stone—for decades its covers defined our visual culture. Behind every iconic cover is a photo director making hundreds of invisible decisions under pressure and facing tight budgets, unpredictable talent, and shifting editorial winds. They're the ones keeping shoots on track when the talent shows up two hours late. They're the ones coaxing photographers into greatness—the person behind the people behind the camera. Photo editors are expected to be tastemakers, producers, diplomats, caterers, and art directors all at once. Although their work is everywhere, their names are not. They're under-thanked. Underseen. Too often unknown. This is the paradox of their work: When a shoot goes well, it looks effortless. When it doesn't, they take the bullet.Laurie Kratochvil, Rolling Stone's visionary director of photography from 1982 to 1994, knows this all too well.—This episode is made possible by our friends at Commercial Type and Freeport Press.

Rejecting much of the conventional wisdom to what makes up a modern Army, William F. Owen's Euclid's Army: Preparing Land Forces for Warfare Today (Howgate Publishing Limited, 2025) massacres fields sacred cows to challenge many of the mainstream ideas about the future of land warfare and how it should be conducted. Based on his experience working with the British Army and industry, Owen draws the reader back to basics based on limited budgets, limited resources and an overall reduction in cost, weight and complexity to comprehensively understand how armies might or should equip, train and organise for any unknowable future. Stripped of traditional academic or journalistic approaches and well-worn familiar narratives, Euclid's Army reformulates how soldiers, civil servants and politicians should think about land warfare, thus war in general.William F. Owen (Wilf) served for 12 years in the British Army in regular and reserve Infantry and Intelligence units. He then worked on defence advisory and security projects in West Africa and the Far East before moving to writing and editing on defence matters. In 2010, he co-founded Military Strategy Magazine, for which he is currently editor. He also worked as a consultant and contractor for the British Army and several defence agencies and companies worldwide.Stephen Satkiewicz is an independent scholar with research areas spanning Civilizational Sciences, Social Complexity, Big History, Historical Sociology, Military History, War Studies, International Relations, Geopolitics, and Russian and East European history.

Do you ever wonder why publishing feels harder than ever—even for talented writers? In this episode, we unpack the shifting realities of the publishing world, the gatekeeping role of social media, and how authors are increasingly responsible for their own marketing, platforms, and sales.We also share a personal story about losing tens of thousands of Facebook followers overnight and how that loss spotlighted the fragile ecosystem of modern author visibility. As always, we advocate for connection over clout and remind you that real growth often happens offline—in living rooms, book clubs, and homeschooling co-ops.If this conversation resonated with you, share the episode with a friend or leave us a review.

Hopefully in the last couple of weeks you heard about the controversial Colorado bill that aimed to make misgendering someone a crime. The bill met fierce resistance from local pastors and Christian leaders, but ultimately was signed into law by the governor about a week ago. Even though it was stripped of its most controversial portion, a clause that would have categorized parents as abusive for misgendering their children, the law is still one of the most aggressive in the land.The woke isn't going away. Progressives have bet the house on radical gender ideology and are committed to making the lives of ordinary Christian families hell for as long as they can. Other Colorado bills such as House Bill 1309 mandate that health care providers cover every possible necessity for gender affirming care, a set of surgeries and treatments that cost hundreds of thousands of dollars per person. One way or another, they will try to take your kids, close your business, and bankrupt your state, even if they lose in the end.So today we're going to discuss who is pushing these draconian laws, what their real purpose is, and the clever ways Christians are fighting back.This episode is brought to you by our premier sponsors, Armored Republic and Reece Fund, as well as our Patreon members and donors.

Fans of George Smiley, John le Carré's legendary spymaster, have reason to celebrate. In a rare double coup for the espionage world, Nick Harkaway—le Carré's son—has announced The Taper Man, a new Smiley novel arriving in 2026, while The Spy Who Came in From the Cold will receive its first-ever stage adaptation in the West End this autumn. The announcement marks a major return of the “Circus,” le Carré's iconic fictionalised British intelligence service, and the literary rebirth of one of spy fiction's most enduring characters. Join Spybrary - the ultimate community for spy fiction fans. The Taper Man: Smiley Heads Stateside Set in 1965, The Taper Man picks up 18 months after the events of Harkaway's bestselling Karla's Choice and places George Smiley in unfamiliar terrain—America. The novel explores Smiley's pursuit of a communist network on the US West Coast, threading together geopolitical paranoia with moral ambiguity in classic le Carré fashion. The story unfolds amid the tumultuous backdrop of the Civil Rights movement and the Vietnam War, with Smiley navigating tensions with the CIA ("the Cousins") while unravelling Soviet infiltrations that stretch back to the 1950s. “It's time to meet our American Cousins,” Harkaway says. “We're following the breadcrumbs of a messy debacle in Helsinki all the way to California, uncovering the truth of Karla's 1950s network and pursuing Roy Bland into the USSR.” Publishing director Harriet Bourton of Viking describes The Taper Man as “an extraordinary new addition to the iconic literary world of John le Carré,” praising Harkaway's ability to honour the legacy while making it unmistakably his own. Smiley on Stage: The Spy Who Came in From the Cold at Soho Place Alongside the novel news, spy fans will see Smiley on stage for the first time this November, when The Spy Who Came in From the Cold—le Carré's 1963 classic—premieres at @sohoplace in London. Directed by Jeremy Herrin and adapted by acclaimed playwright David Eldridge, the production follows a successful run at Chichester Festival Theatre. Rory Keenan stars as Alec Leamas, the embittered British agent at the heart of the novel, with Agnes O'Casey playing Liz Gold. George Smiley will be portrayed by John Ramm. Clare Cornwell, director of the le Carré estate, says: “We are delighted to be celebrating the return of the Circus and George Smiley through these two new projects.” The John le Carré Legacy Continued Nick Harkaway, the fourth son of David Cornwell (John le Carré), previously completed the posthumous publication of Silverview and edited A Private Spy, a collection of his father's letters. In Karla's Choice, he took the bold step of writing new fiction within the le Carré universe—an effort praised by critics and readers alike. Watch our interview all about Karla's Choice with Nick Harkaway. With The Taper Man, Harkaway deepens his claim to the Smiley legacy while expanding the geopolitical canvas of the saga. For longtime fans of le Carré, and the next generation discovering his work through adaptations and new fiction, 2025 may just be the most thrilling year since Smiley first came in from the cold.

Food critic Brian Reinhart fell in love with spicy Mexican cuisine as a teenager in Texas, but over the years he started to notice that the jalapeños he'd buy in the grocery store were less and less hot. So he called up an expert who studies chili pepper genetics, and she shared a shocking revelation. In this episode from our friends at the Slate podcast Decoder Ring, host Willa Paskin tells the story, then talks with Los Angeles Times columnist Gustavo Arellano, who puts the jalapeño in the context of an age-old cycle in the American obsession with Mexican food.Brian Reinhart's article about the jalapeño ran in D Magazine. Gustavo Arellano's book is called Taco USA: How Mexican Food Conquered America. This episode was produced by Evan Chung.Follow Decoder Ring wherever you listen to podcasts. The Sporkful production team includes Dan Pashman, Emma Morgenstern, Andres O'Hara, Kameel Stanley, Jared O'Connell, and Giulia Leo.

Right versus left. Democrat versus Republican. Liberal versus Conservative. These are the terms we are all too familiar with that practically serve to symbolize the political struggle between good and evil, freedom and tyranny, or big and small government. But if the last 50 years of politics have proven anything, it's that these labels mean shockingly little. Whether it's Reagan opening the nation's floodgates via amnesty under a Republican elephant or the supposedly anti-big corporation Democrats mandating an untested vaccine, both ideas functionally operate as little more than two sides of the same coin. The yard sign changes every four years, but the underlying assumptions and commitments to liberal democracy don't.Yet when you trace the intellectual formation of the American conservative identity you find that wasn't always the case. Something happened in the '60s and '70s that broke our connection to our English, Anglo, and Protestant past and made America into the degenerate war hawk it became in the '90s and early 2000s. Committed to a defense of Israel and esoteric readings of the Ancient Greek philosophers, influential academics like Leo Strauss and Harry Jaffa—alongside journalists like Irving Kristol—birthed a powerful new flavor of conservatism that took root in the American consciousness.This supposedly right-wing political thought had little differences with the left in its embrace of liberal democracy and equality, but served its purpose in turning America into a dominant foreign adversary alongside a compelling narrative about its embrace of creedal nationhood and the peoples of the world. But as the downstream effects of decades of universal suffrage and propositional nationhood come home to roost, neoconservatism offers shockingly little substance in the way of resistance or conserving our Christian European heritage. Populism and revolution are on the rise, and the strong gods are coming home.It's time to stop calling ourselves conservatives and falling into the same dialectical trap again and again. We are not neocons and we are not interested in the solutions of Mitt Romney, Ted Cruz, and Mitch McConnell. Like the Founding Fathers who risked it all to forge a new, self-governed future, we also need real and potentially radical solutions to our dilemma. Cutting taxes by 10% and another war in the Middle East isn't going to do it.Tune in now as we discuss Leo Strauss, American conservatism, and the coming right-wing revolution.MINISTRY SPONSORS:Reece Fund.

How to judge seltzers, plus the science of carbonation... Over the past decade, seltzer has exploded. Sales have doubled, and companies like Coke and Pepsi are buying up brands and creating their own sparkling waters. So in a crowded field, with a drink that doesn't have much flavor to begin with, how do you tell which one is best? We talk with the hosts of the podcast Seltzer Death Match to find out. Then we nerd out on the science of carbonation: What exactly is it, how does it affect the taste experience, and how do you get the best results from home carbonation systems? Dan Souza, editor-in-chief of Cook's Illustrated, has the answers.This episode originally aired on May 17, 2020, and was produced by Dan Pashman, Emma Morgenstern, Andres O'Hara, and Sam Lee.
