Mary-Ellen McTague is one of the driving forces behind Manchester's modern food scene: a chef, restaurateur and community builder whose cooking is rooted in place, craft and proper hospitality. In this episode, she joins the go-to food podcast to talk about the city she helped shape, the dishes she can't stop thinking about, and the hard-won lessons behind building restaurants that people genuinely love.Her story runs from cooking for touring bands at Manchester's Roadhouse as a student, to breaking barriers at the Michelin-starred Sharrow Bay Country House, and then into Heston Blumenthal's inner circle at The Fat Duck. From the intensity and precision of a two-then-three-star kitchen to an R&D role exploring Britain's food history at The Hind's Head, Mary-Ellen's career has been defined by curiosity, grit, and an obsession with flavour that actually means something.Back home, she became synonymous with Manchester's dining renaissance—opening trailblazing restaurants, earning national acclaim, and feeding not just thousands of happy punters, but (as the hosts proudly put it) well over 150,000 people across the city. She shares what it's really like to build a “rotation” of ambitious young chefs in Manchester, why a dish like Lancashire hotpot can carry identity and memory, and how her love of simple, brilliant produce started with a life-changing stint in rural Provence.The conversation also goes deeper: burnout, resilience, an ADHD diagnosis that “explained a lot,” and the purpose-led work of Eat Well MCR—turning surplus food and community energy into meals for people who need them most. Expect big laughs, kitchen war stories, and plenty of menu envy—especially when Mary-Ellen breaks down her PIP snack essentials and that signature hotpot (with oyster ketchup) that might just be the most “her” dish of all.Pre Order Ben's Incredible Book - All You Can Eat - By Clicking Here - https://www.amazon.co.uk/All-You-Can-Eat-British/dp/1805221523Get 2 Months of Blinq For Free - With Code - GOTOBLINQ - https://blinqme.com/Order The Greatest Meat In The Country From HG Walter Here & Have Restaurant Quality Meals From Home - www.hgwalter.com Hosted on Acast.

The Jay Franze Show: Your backstage pass to the entertainment industry
Ever argued over what makes a voice truly unique? We go all-in on that question and discover why “unmistakable” beats “perfect” almost every time. From Cher and Sinatra to Tom Waits, Stevie Nicks, and Bob Dylan, we debate tone, phrasing, range, and the magic test: can you spot them in one note?We kick off with a left-field warm-up on Texas Roadhouse—founder geography, 34-degree cutting rooms, 36-degree beer, fresh-daily bread, and how grassroots roll drops double as smart local marketing. Then it's a tight country news sweep: Ella Langley's triple-chart moment, Jason Aldean's milestone perspective against legacy greats, the Country Music Hall of Fame's American Currents signal, the Braves Country Fest lineup, new drops from Luke Combs to Charlie Crockett, a classic country tour package, and a Lee Brice single stirring up “country nowadays” debate. The throughline is clear: country's center is widening and listeners are picking winners across lanes.Our chart check balances mainstream and indie, spotlighting why a hold at number three means something different than a quick climb to one, and how pop-country crossovers, storytelling, and rock edges share the same field. Then a rapid-fire trivia duel (rock and country) transforms fun facts into a map of genre evolution—Zeppelin's first name, Master of Puppets in 1986, who ripped the Beat It solo, Opry induction stats, Chris Gaines, and more.The mailbag brings the sharpest industry insights. Can an artist be “outlaw” with label money? What's smarter today: 20-track albums or a disciplined singles drip? Is vinyl a real revenue lane or a nostalgia-forward merch play? Who owns the masters when singers go solo—and what can they do about it? We unpack strategy, contracts, and fan behavior without the fluff.Episode LinksVonray: https://jayfranze.com/episode1/Jason Hale: https://jayfranze.com/episode55/Kyle Fields: https://jayfranze.com/episode79/Lucy Becker: https://jayfranze.com/episode86/Mark Badolato: https://jayfranze.com/episode140/Send a text Support the showLinks Jay Franze: https://jayfranze.com/ JFS Country Countdown: https://jayfranze.com/countdown/ Contact Contact: https://jayfranze.com/contact/ Socials Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/jayfranze TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@jayfranze X: https://x.com/jayfranze YouTube: https://youtube.com/@jayfranze Services Services: https://jayfranze.com/services/ Books Books: https://jayfranze.com/books/ Merchandise Merchandise: https://jayfranze.com/merchandise/ Support Support: https://jayfranze.com/support/ Sponsor the Show: https://jayfranze.com/sponsor/
Texas Roadhouse has proven itself once again. The Supreme Court struck down President Trump's tariffs, only for Trump to immediately levy new ones. And Del Taco has reportedly closed all of its Georgia locations.

This week we head into full remake territory with Doug Liman's glossy, bone-crunching update of Road House. Jake Gyllenhaal steps into Patrick Swayze's boots as Dalton: a drifter, ex–UFC fighter, and walking concussion who takes a job cleaning up a Florida Keys bar where violence isn't a possibility — it's a nightly guarantee.From the opening underground fight circuit to the neon chaos of the Road House itself, the film wastes no time establishing its tone: sunburnt, hyper-kinetic, knowingly ridiculous action with a wink. Dalton isn't just muscle — he's a philosopher-bouncer trying (and often failing) to de-escalate a town addicted to throwing punches.What we talked aboutThe remake question: why revisit a cult classic, and does this version justify its existence?Gyllenhaal's performance — shredded, funny, and oddly charming as a smiling human weaponThe bar as a war zone: nonstop fights that feel both brutal and cartoonishDoug Liman's direction and the slick, CG-enhanced fight choreographyConor McGregor as the chaos agent villain — distracting stunt casting or perfect cartoon henchman?The movie's throwback 80s energy: big action, simple stakes, zero realismThe strange lack of romance in such a sweaty, hyper-physical filmStreaming vs cinema: whether this deserved a theatrical releaseVerdictIt's loud, dumb, stylish, and fully aware of it. Road House doesn't try to outthink the original — it turns the dial toward modern action excess and lets Gyllenhaal carry the vibe. Not high art, but a breezy, violent crowd-pleaser that knows exactly what it is.Strong recommend if you want neon-lit mayhem, broken bones, and a remake that leans into its own stupidity instead of apologising for it.You can now text us anonymously to leave feedback, suggest future content or simply hurl abuse at us.

Send a textWhat if the one act of heroism you've waited decades to see unthreads the very world you love? We dive headfirst into Twin Peaks: The Return and follow Dale Cooper across timelines, motel thresholds, and shifting identities to ask whether saving Laura Palmer heals anything or erases everything. Along the way we confront the show's anti‑nostalgia engine: familiar faces that feel strange, a town that looks the same but hums at the wrong frequency, and a finale that swaps closure for a single, devastating question.We start with the raw texture of The Return; Woodsmen drifting like static, a convenience store that shouldn't have stairs, and a glass box that births nightmares then map those images back to Fire Walk With Me to show how Lynch and Frost turned “deleted lore” into a working cosmology. Our debate sharpens around Audrey and Diane as tulpas, Mr. C as pure predation, and Sarah Palmer as a vessel for Judy, the old name for an older evil. If Episode 8 is a bomb-blast origin story, then every echo after that is fallout: long takes, looping songs at the Roadhouse, and a green glove that seems ridiculous until it lands the punch that ends an era.We also make space for the human pulse; Ed and Norma's overdue grace, Bobby's quiet respect for Major Briggs, Ben Horne trying to be better, and the Mitchum brothers turning pie into providence. Even Dougie's halting wonder has weight, asking how love persists when language fails. The Return keeps daring us to want neat answers while rewarding attention with rhymes and reversals instead. Maybe that's the point: some mysteries won't resolve; they resonate.Hit play if you want theory, argument, and a few laughs about arm wrestling, pie, and whether James has really always been cool. Then tell us your boldest take: did Cooper make the right choice?

Send us a textA small town secret can feel like a universe, and Twin Peaks makes that literal. We mark episode 150 by plunging into Fire Walk With Me and the first eight parts of The Return—two works that trade cozy nostalgia for raw impact, then expand the mystery until it touches the edges of reality. Laura Palmer's story becomes heartbreakingly concrete, Leland's possession both supernatural and human, and the “entities above the convenience store” start to look less like flavor and more like a map.From there, The Return scatters the pieces in brilliant, unnerving ways. We break down three Coopers—Mr. C's predatory calm, Dougie's hollow innocence, and a good man trying to surface—as well as the infamous glass box murders that set a new ceiling for Lynchian dread. Episode 8 gets a full autopsy: the Trinity test as cosmic rupture, the Woodsmen as soot-streaked messengers, and a frog-moth that turns evil into something you can almost feel crawl down your throat. Along the way we celebrate the town's evolutions—Bobby's arc, Hawk's leadership, the Log Lady's farewell—and the show's human choices: Diane is real and not here to coddle anyone; Denise is respected with a line that lands like a gavel; Jacoby sells golden shovels to “dig yourself out of the shit,” and somehow it all fits.We also have fun with the absurd: Wally Brando's monologue, Mr. Jackpots' lucky streak, and those nightly Roadhouse performances that punctuate scenes like breath between chapters. If you're hunting for a clean answer key, Twin Peaks won't give it to you. It offers patterns, symbols, and characters who feel painfully alive inside impossible rules. We're here to guide you through the terror and the tenderness, connecting lore, highlighting performances, and asking the questions that keep this story burning.Hit play, share your theory on the frog-moth, and tell us: genius tapestry or beautiful chaos?

Welcome back to Not A Bomb! —the podcast where we resurrect cinema's most infamous box office disasters and ask the burning question: was it really that bad? We're celebrating five years of cinematic redemption.For the month of January, Not A Bomb asks a very important cinematic question: what happens when actors decide that being in front of the camera just isn't enough and take a shot at directing themselves? This week, Brad and Troy dive into the wild, weird world of one of cinema's most unique action heroes — Steven Seagal — and his 1994 directorial debut, On Deadly Ground. What happens when you blend Road House bar‑brawling energy, sprinkle in a little Dances with Wolves spiritualism, and top it off with the explosive absurdity of Commando? You get Seagal as a Native American eco‑warrior battling a cartoonishly evil oil company that's tearing up the Alaskan wilderness.And if that's not enough, Michael Caine shows up with the greasiest hair of his career, there's a bar scene that might belong in the Action Movie Hall of Fame, and Seagal delivers environmental monologues with the confidence that only Steven Seagal can deliver. Is it poorly written? Without question. Is Seagal a terrible director? Oh, absolutely. But does that stop On Deadly Ground from being a fascinating, ridiculous, and thoroughly entertaining action‑adventure? Not a chance.Strap in — this one's a blizzard of bad decisions, big explosions, and pure '90s action madness.On Deadly Ground is directed by Steven Seagal and stars Steven Seagal, Michael Cine, Joan, John C. McGinley, R. Lee Ermey, Shari Shattuck, Billy Bob Thornton, Richard Hamilton, Sven-Ole Thorsen, and Mike Starr.Want to help support the show?

Ruben's an old friend from Amsterdam, a native Aruban who bartended in Amsterdam and London, and whose life was changed by a Diplomatico rum training he attended while working as a flair bartender at London's famed Roadhouse. (That training was given by none other than Declan McGurk, himself a former flair bartender, who went on to become Director of Bars at The Savoy, leading them to a #1 spot on W50BB, and is now Commercial Director for Boatyard Gin) Ruben went back to Amsterdam with rum in his heart and started Spirited Union rum, inventing “botanical rum”as a category in the process, delivering orders in person, on his bicycle, for the first few years. He then crowdfunded (!) buying the former Our/Vodka distillery & bar from Pernod-Ricard, whose bar, cocktail classes and rum blending workshops have made it the #1 activity in the Netherlands on TripAdvisor. (Last week's episode was with Brendan Bartley, btw, who bought the Our/Vodka NY bar & distillery and reopened it as Hello Hello Cafe & Bar and Silent Alibi distillery, making 11th Hour Coffee liqueur and more). Ruben's gone from strength to strength with Spirited Union rum, exporting across Europe, to the UK, and to five states in the US (where their first customer was Whole Foods!) and recently started Pineapple Drinks Club to import & distribute founder-led brands in the Netherlands.

TL's Road House is revving up for another episode! This week, Tracy sits down with one of his longtime bandmates Joe Caverlee for a laid-back, laughter-filled conversation shaped by 20+ years on the road together. From an early age, Joe picked up guitar and piano before discovering a violin tucked away in his grandma's attic. He quickly began his classical training at the age of 10 before sparking a passion for bluegrass at 13. His musical talent has carried him far since launching his career in the '90s and continues today as Tracy's bandleader, along with the soon to be release of his solo bluegrass album, This Side Of The Grass. In this episode, Tracy and Joe reflect on their musical influences, the early days of starting out in Nashville, their biggest career highlights and the many memories they've shared along the way.

TL's Road House returns with Colt Ford for a candid conversation that goes far beyond music. Known for carving his own path in country by blending rap, southern rock and outlaw grit, Colt joins Tracy to reflect on a life-altering chapter after suffering a near-fatal heart attack in 2024. He opens up about his road to recovery and the struggles that followed, along with the overwhelming generosity and support he received from family, friends and fellow artists that helped carry him through. Throughout the episode, Tracy and Colt dig into the lessons that come with surviving something that forces you to slow down, the belief that everything happens for a reason and finding out who your friends are. With renewed purpose and goals to get back on stage, this moving episode is a reminder of resilience, perspective and the power of human connection.
In 1948, 17-year-old Mary Jane Reed was murdered on a lover's lane in rural Illinois — and she never truly left.

2025 CPMHOF Lifetime Achievement Award Winner:Richard (Dick) E. Phelan was born and raised in the Allison Hill area of Harrisburg. Dick had an initial love of sports and music. He graduated from John Harris HS in 1963. While in high school, he began his music career with a group of other classmates forming “The Organization” (which included future founder of The Magnificent Men, Bob Angelucci).While on the road in 1964, he found a property on N Front St. in Harrisburg that was for lease and he had a vision that would soon become “The Barn.” He soon outgrew that location and decided to go big with the acquisition of a parcel of farm property in suburban Harrisburg, on which, he opened The Raven on Thanksgiving weekend in 1965. Opening night the house band was “The Magnificent Seven” (soon to become The Magnificent Men).By 1968, Dick was looking for bigger venues to promote his musical connections. He sold The Raven (it became The Rover) and embarked on a career of promotion national acts all over the east coast. He was a road manager and promoter for such acts as Grand Funk Railroad, Uriah Heep, an early version of Chicago, Aerosmith, Earth, Wind, & Fire, and more! He had the first US booking for a new British artist, Elton John. He also controlled a northeast corridor of minor league hockey rinks, which became perfect venues for concerts.Later in life, Dick's entrepreneurial spirit led him to establish a string of successful restaurants, numbering as many as 19. This included the famous Gingerbread Man franchise and another special music venue, Rod's Roadhouse.Enjoy!You can find out more about the CPMHOF @ https://cpmhof.com/Brought to you by Darker with Daniel @ Studio 3.http://darkerwithdaniel.com/All media requests: thecpmpodcast@gmail.comWant to be on an episode of the CPMP?

Today's episode is a bit of a departure from the usual format. I'm re-sharing a recent conversation I had on my friend Brendan Leonard's new podcast, My Favorite Things. I'm sure most of y'all are already familiar with Brendan's work, but for those of you who aren't, he's an author, illustrator, filmmaker, and creator of Semi-Rad. Brendan's new podcast is built around a simple but fascinating premise: conversations about the books, films, art, and creative works that have helped shape a person's life and career. In this conversation, we spend less time on what I do, and more time on what's influenced how I think and live — from Theodore Roosevelt and Sebastian Junger to a Winslow Homer painting and a movie that's been oddly entertaining and instructive over the years. (I bet y'all can guess the movie.) There are already several excellent episodes live featuring thoughtful, interesting people, and Brendan has created something both entertaining and instructive with this podcast. If you enjoy this conversation, I'd encourage you to subscribe, explore the rest of the episodes, and share the show with any of your friends who might enjoy it.

We are honored to welcome Kevin Tighe, the actor who brought Roy DeSoto to life on the groundbreaking series Emergency! and whose career has spanned stage, screen, and service.Kevin takes us back to his beginnings at the Pasadena Playhouse, where he first stepped into the world of acting at just 10 years old. From there, he trained with legendary teachers Stella Adler and Bobby Lewis, absorbing the craft that would later shape his most memorable roles.He reflects on his early film work, including Yours, Mine and Ours, and shares a warm, behind-the-scenes moment with Lucille Ball. Kevin then recounts the unexpected and nerve-wracking audition process that led to Emergency! and how a chance encounter with actor David Janssen calmed his nerves and helped him nail the screen test that changed his life.Kevin discusses the legacy of Emergency! notable for the realism brought by on-set medical advisors. The show inspired a surge of interest in first responder careers, and it raised awareness of lifesaving pre-hospitalization, EMS opportunities that inspired paramedic programs throughout the country.Kevin talks candidly about the challenges he faced following Emergency!, including his struggle with fame and his move to Washington State. There, he dedicated himself to community work and played a key role in establishing Hospice of the Northwest.After decades of appearances on big and small screens with memorable roles in Roadhouse, Newsies, Law And Order SUV, Freaks and Geeks, and the list goes on, you can now see Kevin in the new Paul Thomas Anderson movie, One Battle After Another, and he shares a touching moment between himself and P.T. Anderson which allowed Kevin to create a menacing screen moment that will live in infamy.

Remove those grubby shoes and those synthetic wigs, Critters! There are no kids here and we're among equals to have a small conference about The Witches (1990). An enduring childhood classic, we give praise to Anjelica Huston's committed and iconic performance as the Grand High Witch, insight into why children's movies of today don't seem to really have it for their young audiences, and practical effects leaving the most out-of-this-world impressions, amongst other things. Watch for mice! So happy listening—but if you speak out of turn, you best be ready to be Formula 86ed.

Welcome back on board TL's Road House! Tracy Lawrence sits down with country singer-songwriter Lanie Gardner to talk musical inspirations, family influence, stage nerves and more. A North Carolina native with traditional roots, Lanie first blew fans away in 2020 when her YouTube cover of “Dreams” by Fleetwood Mac went viral. Before that, she was learning guitar and singing alongside her dad from an early age. Her career has quickly taken off with a record deal right out of college, opening for major acts like the Jonas Brothers, Jelly Roll and Cody Johnson, and she most recently released her sophomore album, Faded Polaroids. Tracy and Lanie get real about life lessons they have learned, while also bonding over their go-to Broadway bars, and the memories made along the way. Tune in for a fun and heartfelt conversation with one of country music's fastest-rising stars!
This week on TL's Road House, Tracy Lawrence invites Texas country-rock band Treaty Oak Revival onto the bus for a high energy hang full of music, mischief and memories from the road. Originally from Odessa, Texas, the band is made up of Sam Canty (lead singer/acoustic guitar), Lance Vanley (rhythm electric/background vocals), Jeremiah Vanley (lead electric), Dakota Hernandez (bass) and Cody Holloway (drums). These self-proclaimed “rockers with a country accent” have carved out a lane of their own in the Texas and Red Dirt scene, releasing four studio albums, selling out shows and racking up impressive streams while staying true to their homegrown identity. Hop on the bus for a conversation filled with good stories, good laughs and an inside look at one of Texas' most beloved bands.
The Jay Franze Show: Your backstage pass to the entertainment industry
A left-handed guitar from a beloved grandpa. A band with grit and groove. A songwriter who lets chords decide the weather of a verse. That's the heart of our conversation with Corey Hooker, where Americana isn't a label so much as a living room: folk honesty, rock momentum, and stories that start one way and end somewhere braver.We trace Corey's path from Ohio stages to a decisive leap toward Colorado, a move designed to meet strangers and grow beyond a friends-and-family ceiling. He opens up about the craft behind his catalog—why a melody often leads the way, how a single “keyword” unlocks a chorus, and what happens when an angry draft flips into a sad truth, like in Perfect Family. We also get practical: Taylor versus Martin for stage and studio, the heirloom Austin that breaks writer's block, and how live shows sharpen arrangements faster than any DAW. If you care about songwriting, there's gold here: tight feedback loops with trusted critics, resisting the trap of perfectionism, and using crowd engagement to turn covers into gateways for original songs.The chemistry with the Cadillac Preachers powers much of this trajectory. Their partnership adds rock muscle to Corey's folk roots, landing in a space fans have called fugitive folk rock. That dynamic opened doors at Laurie's Roadhouse—first through a contest win, then with higher-profile slots—and now a direct support date for Mark Chesnutt. It's a blueprint for independent artists: build community, test songs in the wild, and record when the performance lives in muscle memory. Through it all, Corey's gratitude rings clear for the people who keep him grounded: a wife with blunt, loving notes, a mom who never misses a chance to show up, and bandmates who share the load.Hit play for an honest, energetic look at modern Americana, from writing rooms to big stages and the mountain roads in between.
