Recorded live before an audience at Sunken Harbor Club in Brooklyn.Why This Episode MattersGage & Tollner's revival is more than a preservation story. St. John Frizell and Garrett Richard show how historic restaurants and classic cocktails can be restored, reinterpreted, and made relevant. The ConversationThe live conversation opens with Mark admitting that it took him several meetings to realize writer St. John Frizell and bartender “Sinjin” Frizell were the same person. Francis recalls Garrett recognizing The Restaurant Guys at Tales of the Cocktail, back when being recognized in public was still a notable event.From there, St. John tells the improbable story of finding Gage & Tollner's landmarked interior beneath the remains of a TGI Fridays, an Arby's, and a makeshift mall. He explains how 450 crowdfunding investors helped revive the historic Brooklyn oyster and chophouse and how the restaurant was preparing to open when COVID closed New York.Garrett traces Sunken Harbor Club from a weekly pop-up to one of the country's most distinctive cocktail bars. He explores forgotten tropical formats, historic steakhouse drinks, the challenge of creating serious non-alcoholic cocktails, and the timelessness of the Martini. The conversation also reaches Charles H. Baker Jr., his amazing life and the idea that a great drink can be built as much on story and context as on the recipe itself.Timestamps00:00 Live from Sunken Harbor Club02:00 St. John, Sinjin and a James Bond pronunciation lesson04:00 Garrett's first encounter with The Restaurant Guys05:30 The opening cocktails and Sunken Harbor's menu philosophy08:30 Gage & Tollner prepares to open as COVID closes New York11:00 How the Sunken Harbor Club began as a weekly pop-up14:00 Finding Gage & Tollner behind false walls17:00 Raising $450,000 from 450 crowdfunding investors20:00 Reconstructing forgotten cocktails and the Cross Current25:30 Historic steakhouse drinks meet tropical cocktails30:30 Why serious non-alcoholic cocktails are so difficult42:00 Martinis, Charles H.

Motion Church | Walk — Week 1: "Walk This Way" One night. One wrestling match. One limp that changed everything. Motion Church kicks off a brand-new series called Walk — a multi-week journey through stories from Scripture that ask a simple but searching question: how are you walking? Not just with your feet, but with your life. "A walk doesn't just describe what you're doing. It describes who you are. It's the direction of your heart, your life, the way that you carry yourself — all of it is encompassed in this idea of a walk." Week 1 takes us all the way back to Genesis and one of the most fascinating encounters in all of Scripture. Jacob — son of Isaac, grandson of Abraham — was a man carrying the weight of a complicated past. On the eve of a terrifying reunion with his estranged brother Esau, alone in the dark, Jacob was suddenly wrestling with a stranger until daybreak. By morning, he had a new name and a permanent limp. And here's the point: "When God touched his hip, he walked differently. When he had an encounter with Jesus... he walked differently." The message for us is just as straightforward. "If you have an encounter with Jesus, if you give Jesus full reign of your heart and your life, there's something about your life after you come face to face with the Son of God that should be different." 2 Corinthians 5:17 says it plainly: if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old has passed away. The new has come. So what does that different walk actually look like? It's not a rulebook. It's a set of principles — because your walk with God is going to look specific to you. But the first step is walking in different places. Different locations, different relationships, different habits on social media — anything pulling you away from the person God is calling you to be. "Jesus changed them. They didn't change him." That's a pretty big difference. And it's not just about what you're walking away from. Proverbs reminds us that a fool rushes toward folly, but a wise person walks away from it. The goal is to punch in a destination and head toward something better. Philippians 4:8 sets that address: "Whatever is true, honorable, just, pure, lovely, commendable, excellent, worthy of praise — think about these things. Walk toward these things." As the series kicks off, three questions close the message: What about your life is different since you encountered Jesus? What are you walking away from? And what are you walking toward? "Set that as the direction, the coordinates. Punch that address in the GPS of your heart. Let's walk towards that."

Happy Friday, lets do some punching!

In January 1860 the New York Times gave its blessing to a new machine: the sewing machine. These "iron needle-women", it wrote, were the only invention that could be claimed “chiefly for women's benefit”. Sewing was women's work in the nineteenth century, rich or poor, and a machine could now do it in a fraction of the time. So did it set women free?Philipp Ager and Davide Coluccia have traced the adoption of the sewing machine in Massachusetts between 1850 and 1900, using census records and digitised business directories to work out who was exposed to it, in the factory and in the home. For poorer women the machine meant work, in garment factories and in boot and shoe production; they married later, had fewer children, and many never married at all. For wealthier women, who had few acceptable jobs open to them, the hours it saved went into earlier marriage and earlier motherhood. Philipp tells Tim Phillips the story of a machine that had very different impacts in different social classes.The research behind this episode:Ager, Philipp, and Davide Coluccia. 2026.

The citation above is formatted and ready for a reading list or VLE.About the guestsPhilipp Ager is professor of economics at the University of Mannheim, a Research Fellow of the Centre for Economic Policy Research, and an editorial board member at Explorations in Economic History. His research spans the economic history of the United States, technological change, and the long-run effects of crises and disasters; his work on the Great Fire of London of 1666 featured in an earlier episode of VoxTalks Economics.Research and sources cited in this episodeThe Song of the Shirt. Thomas Hood's poem about a destitute seamstress was first published anonymously in Punch in December 1843. Hood based it on the case of Mrs Biddell, a London widow prosecuted after pawning clothes she had been given to sew. Godey's Lady's Book. The most widely read women's magazine in the US at the time crowned the sewing machine "the queen of inventions" in 1860, having calculated that a man's shirt took 20,620 stitches and 14 hours to sew by hand, against an hour and a quarter by machine. Singer and the Sewing Machine: A Capitalist Romance. Ruth Brandon's 1977 biography of Isaac Singer (Google Books) is the source for both Singer quotations read in this episode. .How the Other Half Lives. Jacob Riis, a Danish-born police reporter in New York, published his account of tenement and sweatshop life in 1890 (free at Project Gutenberg). The shirtmaker's testimony read in this episode was given to the State Board of Arbitration during the shirtmakers' strike and reported by Riis in his chapter on the working girls of New York.The household appliance revolution. Philipp contrasts the sewing machine with the washing machines and vacuum cleaners that arrived two generations later, which economists have credited with freeing women to join the workforce; "Engines of Liberation" by Jeremy Greenwood, Ananth Seshadri and Mehmet Yorukoglu, Review of Economic Studies, 2005, covers this topic. The sewing machine saved time in the same way, but in the 1860s far fewer acceptable jobs awaited the women whose time it saved.More VoxTalks Economics episodesThe economic effect of the Great Fire of London.

Since the days of Aesop, stories about animals have been used to explore distinctly human values, virtues, and vices. On this episode of Critics at Large, Vinson Cunningham, Naomi Fry, and Alexandra Schwartz consider such childhood classics as E. B. White's “Stuart Little” and C. S. Lewis's “Chronicles of Narnia” series, as well as “The Sheep Detectives,” a recent entry in this canon that centers on a flock who learn poignant lessons about life and loss. Works of adult literature, too, have explored the animal-human bond. Our tendency to project onto animals translates to the real world in strange ways, with figures like Timmy the Whale and Punch the Monkey going viral on our social feeds even as our day-to-day lives are more detached from the natural world than ever before. But the distance between us can be instructive, too. “Reckoning with their similarity to us and also their total strangeness to us . . . that's where works about animals really get me,” Schwartz says. “Not just as a direct transfer onto the human experience but also this other thing that really does enrich our lives: to be in contact with species that are not our own.”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:Homer's Odyssey“Stone Fox,” by John Reynolds Gardiner“The Mare,” by Mary Gaitskill“The Sheep Detectives” (2026)“Stuart Little,” by E.

In this episode, Edwina speaks to Jacob Dunne about his journey from prison to becoming a leading voice in criminal justice reform. They talk about his phenomenal memoir Right From Wrong, which was turned into the Olivier award winning play Punch (www.punchtheplay.com) by James Graham (@misterjamesgraham). Jacob discusses the challenges of being labelled as an ex-offender and the importance of not judging people based on their past. He describes how he wanted Punch to be the most socially impactful play of all time and it would be a “dream come true” if he could persuade the Department for Education to make it part of the curriculum. Jacob explains that the profits from the play are going towards an adapted schools version that will tour hundreds of schools in 2027. Jacob also reflects on joining Common Ground Justice Project as a co-founder last year, to help create the space for a more constructive public conversation on justice—one rooted in common sense, common decency, and common ground - rather than ideology. Together Edwina and Jacob explore the importance of listening to different perspectives to achieve a more balanced debate, one that values both the voices of victims and those with experience of the criminal justice system.

What does it actually take to build a fintech company in Nigeria for five years with almost no visibility, no big splash, and no shortcut — and still come out standing?Babatunde Akin-Moses had a plan. Work for ten years, save money, then start a business. He did not want to be Bill Gates, he knew he was not from that kind of family. He looked at the Nigerian entrepreneurs he admired and every single one of them had worked first. So that was the plan: Shell for NYSC because the pay was good, then KPMG and PWC to learn the kind of rigor that makes you review a document and send it back because the margin was 1.5 when it should have been 1.6. That kind of rigor.But plans move. By the time he had the idea — a credit business for the growing businesses stuck in the middle, too big for microfinance and too small for the banks to care — he had been through enough to know that the business was not just an opportunity. It was a problem he had lived. He tried to start a digital laundry company in 2013 and could not get a business loan. As an employee, the salary loan was easy. As a business owner, the bank was not interested. That gap never left him.Sycamore started as a peer-to-peer lending platform, built because they had no capital and needed to be the middle, not the lender. For two years before their first VC round, they ran on angels, friends, and family. They were closing transactions on Google Forms. And Babatunde, sitting across from a potential investor, was asked if they were raising a SAFE and had to quietly ask what a SAFE was.In this episode he goes deep on all of it, the five years of building without noise while watching louder fintech companies make headlines and then quietly disappear, the regulatory crisis where someone impersonated Sycamore and got them removed from an approved lenders list, the co-founder he nearly lost and the personal sacrifice he almost made to save the business that he has never spoken about publicly until now.He talks about the milestone nobody knows about: building their own internal financial infrastructure before they could even launch the mobile app, in a shoestring budget, in weeks. He talks about being the first digital lender formally approved in Nigeria in 2022. He talks about coming first out of 7,000 competitors at the NSIA Prize for Innovation, which sent him to Silicon Valley for six weeks and landed him on the front page of Punch. He talks about the private note that was oversubscribed, and the Cascador win that brought ₦1.5 billion and a level of public attention he still cannot fully explain.But more than the milestones, this conversation is about the philosophy underneath all of it. How he built trust in fintech — an industry where trust is the whole product — by personalizing the brand, keeping every single promise, and staying long enough for customers who were doing ₦100k transactions to grow into customers doing ₦5 million. How he thinks about servant leadership, about not being able to overcommunicate, about the tension between rewarding exceptional performance and maintaining team cohesion. How he almost never applies for grants or competitions and still keeps winning them.And what he is actually building toward: not small business support, but a platform for growing businesses — the ones with 100 employees who need debt to become the ones with 1,000. The ones who will become the Interswitches and Dangotes of tomorrow if someone will just give them the credit line they need. And eventually, a financial services product that works for Africans wherever they are in the world.

Two of G.K. Chesterton's most unexpectedly prophetic essays take center stage in this issue of Gilbert Magazine: "An Architect's Nightmare," a 1928 piece that anticipates nearly everything being said today about AI, passive technology, and false progress, and "Freud on Slips of the Pen," a recently unearthed 1921 Daily Express article in which Chesterton dismantles psychoanalysis with surgical wit. Joe Grabowski and Grettelyn Darkey walk through the current issue of Gilbert—the official publication of the Society of G.K. Chesterton —drawing out what Chesterton saw about passive entertainment, the cyclical delusions of optimists and pessimists, and why art remains the irreducible signature of man. In This Episode: What G.K. Chesterton's 1928 essay "An Architect's Nightmare" reveals about spaces built for man vs. spaces man is expected to serve—and why his critique of industrial-age optimism and pessimism maps almost perfectly onto today's conversations about AI The pattern Chesterton exposed over a century ago: enthusiastic builders of terrible things who become pessimists insisting nothing can be done—and why Chesterton holds that human will, not historical inevitability, is what truly separates man from the octopus "Freud on Slips of the Pen": a newly unearthed 1921 essay in which G.K. Chesterton takes apart the Freudian slip using Hamlet, Punch and Judy, and the plain observation that a man who writes something down and doesn't cross it out intended to write it Chesterton on the standardizing effects of the cinema—how the same concerns raised about silent films in the 1920s echo in every conversation about video games, social media, and passive screen entertainment today A tour of the current Gilbert: the Chesterton Schools Network's capstone Rome pilgrimage, an 11th-grader's essay on Dante, a takedown of Paul Ehrlich's famously wrong prophecies, and G.K.
