Podcast appearances and mentions of rob smith

Most hotel AI conversations stay too abstract. Rob Smith, CEO and President of Stonebridge, brought it back to the work operators deal with every day: financials, trip reports, sales data, STR reports, and property-level decisions. I recorded this conversation during last week's NYU IHIF conference, where Rob shared how Stonebridge uses AI inside hotel operations right now. Stonebridge uses Claude, ChatGPT, and Copilot at the corporate level, and the company has rolled out hashtag#Copilot across its hotels. Rob talked about using hashtag#AI for faster answers, better property context, and fewer wasted steps before a team has to chase another call, email, or report.

The FT's Rob Smith joins Riley and Nova to talk all about the explosion of an industry that can only be described as “private equity funded payday loans for plutocrats” and all the unique characters therein.

In this episode, Rob Smith, the President and CEO at Stonebridge Companies, shares an operator's read on why top-line growth — not cost-cutting — is a sustainable path through today's environment of profit pressure. He explains how Stonebridge grew same-store revenue by 7.8% in 2024 while the market grew by 1.8%, why their revenue-management-first approach drives 41% direct bookings at their independent hotels, and what a deliberate culture of accountability looks like when you're a 174-hotel pure third-party manager.  A few more resources:If you're new to Hospitality Daily, start here. You can send me a message here with questions, comments, or guest suggestionsIf you want to get my summary and actionable insights from each episode delivered to your inbox each day, subscribe here for free.Follow Hospitality Daily and join the conversation on YouTube, LinkedIn, and Instagram.If you want to advertise on Hospitality Daily, here are the ways we can work together.If you found this episode interesting or helpful, send it to someone on your team so you can turn the ideas into action and benefit your business and the people you serve!Music for this show is produced by Clay Bassford of Bespoke Sound: Music Identity Design for Hospitality Brands

In the final episode recorded at the Retail Technology Show, and the second produced in partnership with TNS, we explore the technologies, operational models and customer‑centric strategies shaping the next era of connected retail. Host Graham Barrett speaks with leaders from payments, grocery, beauty, fashion and retail innovation to understand how real‑time data, automation and agentic AI are transforming store operations and customer experience. His guests were: 1/ Jon Cole, Director of Product and Technical Solutions, TNS 2/ Rob Smith, Technology Officer, East of England Co‑op 3/ Sarah Boyd, Managing Director, Sephora UK 4/ Jeannette Copeland, Board Member & Technology & Supply Chain Director, Ann Summers 5/ Simon Spencelayh, Managing Director eCommerce, Robert Dyas 6/ Mitchell Vergeer, Head of Retail, Axel Arigato Jon Cole, Director of Product & Technical Solutions at TNS, returns to discuss why real‑time visibility across payments, devices and acquirer performance is now mission‑critical. Jon explains how TNS' single‑pane‑of‑glass monitoring helps retailers avoid outages, protect revenue and maintain customer trust, and why agentic commerce will soon reshape how consumers shop, negotiate and transact across categories from golf clubs to airline tickets. Rob Smith, Technology Officer at East of England Co‑op, shares how digitising the shelf edge and applying intelligent markdowns has boosted sell‑through, reduced waste and protected margin. Rob highlights how freeing colleagues from manual tasks creates more meaningful customer interactions, and why connected retail depends on accurate, real‑time data to build trust, consistency and better availability. Sarah Boyd, Managing Director of Sephora UK, reflects on why a hyper‑local, community‑driven approach has been central to its success. Sarah discusses Sephora's unique store openings, the balance between global brands and emerging labels, and how the business blends personalisation, social listening and human connection. Jeannette Copeland, Board Member & Technology and Supply Chain Director at Ann Summers, explores how the retailer is moving from complexity to composability. She explains why simplifying architecture, modernising legacy systems and adopting modular platforms is essential for agility, innovation and delivering consistent omnichannel experiences. Simon Spencelayh, Managing Diretor, ecommerce at Robert Dyas, brings a data‑science perspective, discussing how retailers can use AI‑driven decisioning to optimise availability, reduce waste and improve store execution. Simon highlights the shift from reactive processes to predictive, insight‑led retailing. Mitchell Vergeer, Headof Retail at Axel Arigato, closes the episode with a view on the future store, from real‑time analytics and intelligent shelves to AI‑powered forecasting and agentic workflows. Mitchell outlines how retailers can build the foundations for connected retail and why the next wave of innovation will blend automation with human‑centric design. A wide‑ranging, insight‑packed finale capturing the realities of modern retail, where resilience, transparency, personalisation and intelligent automation must all work together to deliver the connected store of the future.

Jungle turning up in the darndest places tonight, as is… saxophone? Jazz stretched to its limits, and electronica during wartime… LISTEN AGAIN in the darndest places – stream on demand from fbi.radio, podcast here. Butthole Surfers – Imbuya [Sunset Blvd] Never thought I’d be playing Butthole Surfers on Utility Fog. Not that they weren’t an impeccably experimental punk/noise band in their earlier days. Not that Gibby Haines didn’t do the greatest impromptu guest spot ever on Ministry’s “Jesus Built My Hotrod“. Not that “Pepper” isn’t a classic ’90s alt.rock/trip-hop crossover hit. But still, they haven’t been active for a long while, so it’s altogether a surprise that they’ve decided to release their “long lost” follow-up to Electric Larryland, the album that featured “Pepper”. For various reasons – label shenanigans etc – it wasn’t released in the form they wanted, with some songs reworked on the eventual next album Weird Revolution. Fans have known about The Last Astronaut, and heard leaked copies for decades, but now we’re getting it proper-like, and whaddayaknow, the second song they give us is alt rock/industrial punk with amen breaks, because jungle will never die. The break gets pretty nicely tweaked in the middle 8, while the guitar chugs along like a sped-up track from that Ministry album. Picastro – Fell The Family Tree [We Are Busy Bodies/Bandcamp] Liz Hysen’s band Picastro has been going for a very long time – since 1998 – with a changeable lineup that’s usually left-of-centre, featuring viola or cello (Hysen herself plays violin), with various luminaries of the Toronto scene involved, including Owen Pallett and Nick Storring. Hysen’s songs are often dark & creepy, often uncomfortably intimate, and the strings may be used atonally as often as they’re beautiful. It’s true to say that while every Picastro song sounds like Picastro, every Picastro album is different, and their forthcoming Double On Time may be more electronic, based on this lovely – and yes, creepy – first single “Fell The Family Tree”. Notable for us here at Utility Fog, the album is co-produced by Tim Condon of Fresh Snow, whose debut as Mirrored Silver Sea was a UFog fave in 2008, and who moved from Melbourne to Toronto not long after it was released. It’s great to hear his many contributions here alongside Liz Hysen’s singular vision. Carl Gari – Swim feat. Polygonia [Molten Moods/Bandcamp] Most of us know German band Carl Gari from their incredibly strong albums made with Egyptian singer/trumpeter/poet/composer Abdullah Miniawy, on AD93 and Amphibian Records. Between those two releases, the band & singer released a live album on Molten Moods, and it’s to that label that Carl Gari now return for their self-titled album, forthcoming in June. This choppy beats of the second single are joined by multi-tracked vocals from Munich-based Polygonia, herself a producer of bass & other dancefloor music. james K – On God (Roza Terenzi Remix) [AD93/Bandcamp] Following her vaporwave-trip-hop album Friend from last year, james K now reaches out for some heavy-duty Friends to remix the album. Roza Terenzi is Katie Campbell, originally from Perth, then Melbourne, now Europe, also one third of trip-hop band trickpony. She takes the jangly indie song “On God” and dubs it out with vocal delays and chunkier beats – one of the best remixes of the set. Lyra Pramuk – Ending (Djrum Endless Rework) [7K/Bandcamp] The remix has in a sense always been at the heart of the work of operatically & classically-trained composer & producer Lyra Pramuk, whether it’s sampling and processing her own voice, or commissioning huge remix compilations as on 2021’s Delta. Last year she started her own label pop.soil, but simultaneously joined 7K (!K7‘s classical/ambient imprint that they’re back-referencing as 7Klassik), releasing the beautiful Hymnal in June. In June this year comes Hymnal (Resung), in which her voice and the strings of Sonar Quartett are remixed by seven of her colleagues – and who better than the classical-tuned beatmaster Djrum as the first to be released? dgoHn – I Couldn’t Remember So I Made Something Up [Planet µ/Bandcamp] Here are two tastes that sure go well together – the first release by drumfunk genius dgoHn (aka John Cunnane) on Planet µ! All signs point to Tessares being vintage dgoHn, with the melodic focus of label boss µ-Ziq – and dgoHn did have an album with Macc on Aphex Twin’s Rephlex label (digital available here), so IDM isn’t exactly foreign to his style of drum’n’bass. I’m certain this will be a joy. SPECIAL REQUEST – Uncanny Valley (gyrofield remix) [Timedance/Bandcamp] When techno/tech house mainstay Paul Woolford unveiled his Special Request alter ego in 2012 with a series of 12″s and remixes, it was revolutionary not just for Woolford but for the nascent jungle revival, representing a new take on the ’90s jungle revolution, and pre-empting the still-current jungle revival by at least a couple of years (well it depends how you count it – Sully’s Blue double EP was 2014, despite the Bandcamp date). As you know, Woolford has used Special Request for all music of the hardcore continuum by now, but for Batu’s Timedance he’s dropped a piece of hardcoreish drum’n’bass. It’s backed by two remixes: Metrist‘s bass heavy slow-fast take and gyrofield‘s more abstracted weird-jungle. Weird dancefloors unite! los pulpitos – ii ii ii [Crammed Discs/Bandcamp] los pulpitos – Archipelago [Crammed Discs/Bandcamp] Since the early ’80s Belgian label Crammed Discs has been the home for postpunk and world music of all sorts as well as quite a lot of electronica. Techno & electronica producer Dirk Leyers here teams up with Felipe Salmon of Peruvian duo Dengue Dengue Dengue under the name los pulpitos (the little octopuses). Their debut EP Octopean Union from last year was a lovely piece of underwater electronica, combining techno & acid vibes with friendly drum’n’bass/jungle and those South & Central American percussive forms that Dengue Dengue Dengue nurtured. The new album Tentacletek is similarly-formed and both are absolutely lovely, just the right combo of dreamy & danceable. Appleblim – Thunderstorm [Sneaker Social Club/Bandcamp] Laurie Osborne as Appleblim was a key figure in the outward dissemination of dubstep with the Skull Disco label he ran with Sam Shackleton, twisting dubstep’s template to include technoid rhythms. Since then both artists’ oeuvres have turned sideways into other realms, but Appleblim’s always cleaved closer to the dancefloor. Here he’s joined with Sneaker Social Club for a third time, with melodic, hardware-driven rave tracks that float somewhere between drum’n’bass, 2-step, dubstep, weightless and some kind of acidic disco. Always brilliant. Rob Smith – Revolve (feat Tony Wrafter) [RSD Bandcamp] Here’s an unusual project for Rob Smith of Bristol trip-hop originals Smith & Mighty and junglists More Rockers. As RSD, Smith has also made forays into dubstep, indeed since early in the genre’s nascence, as well as dub more broadly. The makers of the underground film Urtobēn – Vienna’s illegal Artforms (more about graffiti and parkour activities than music itself) clearly felt RSD’s urban music styles suited the film’s aesthetic, and now he’s released the soundtrack on his Bandcamp, with tracks from many of his projects and a few fellow travellers. The previously-unreleased (I think!) jungle track I played tonight features trumpeter Tony Wrafter, a longtime Smith & Mighty fellow traveller, who’s also worked a lot with the On-U Sound stable. Ital Tek – Kill Switch [Planet µ/Bandcamp] I first played Alan Myson’s music as Ital Tek in 2007, pretty early in the dubstep’s expansion out from East London. He’d made a bit of breakcore/IDM before this, but his dubstep was quickly picked up by Mike Paradinas’ Planet µ, with all four tracks on the Blood Line EP certified bangers. He moved into a more purple phase, and via various other styles – some more ambient, some more industrial – we arrive at Mind Abandon. Here Myson is taking a bit more of a hardware approach, and again is mixing ambient with some more post-industrial expression, not exactly IDM or dubstep but not entirely separate either – especially the track I played tonight goes from punishing industrial bass into cyberpunk ambient synthesis. I’ve found for years now that Ital Tek albums don’t initially grab me, then I come back to them after a bit and I’m like What? This is fucking great. And yeah, this is great. An underrated talent, honestly. Jensen Interceptor – Flux Entrance [Peder Mannerfelt Produktion] Sydney-born producer Jensen Interceptor now finds himself based in Stockholm, so it makes sense that his last couple of EPs have been released by Pedder Mannerfelt‘s Produktion. Synthetic Seduction is definitely “future bass”, aimed squarely at the dancefloor; straightforward enough, but melodic and super bouncy. Rodja – Ajam (Version) [XCPT/Bandcamp] Pietro De Ruggieri is a producer from Mantera in Italy, releasing music as Rodja, which suggests a particularly Aussie pronunciation of “Rodger”, but presumably isn’t. De Ruggieri has spent some time in Tehran, and some of the music on his new album Third Force was produced there. It’s a phenomenal set of dub techno and other dubby bass music, with slippery production but emphatic beats, beautifully textured. Recommended. Paperclip Minimiser – TT A1 [Blank Mind/Bandcamp] Speaking of pitch-perfect updated dub techno, John Howes’ Paperclip Minimiser has the goods. This is far more ascetic than Rodja, a sound that will be familiar if you checked out Howes’ second album on Peak Oil a few weeks ago. Brilliant. Ptastvo – Bowls With Souls [I Shall Sing Until My Land Is Free/Bandcamp] Ukrainian label I Shall Sing Until My Land Is Free (based, with its progenitors, in Berlin since Russia’s war) here brings an album from Volodymyr Ponikarovskyi aka Ptastvo, who uses found sounds along with electronics and musical instruments to evoke the feeling of imbalance and the heightened emotions of living in wartime. It’s impressively varied music, and even at its most electro-acoustic (e.g. the literal metal bowls sampled on “Bowls With Souls”) it retains a connection to dance music, or at least music with beats. Quite an epic journey, one to listen to on a nighttime drive perhaps – or lie back and listen on headphones wherever you are. Bobby Ingham – Easy Mush [Sneaker Social Club/Bandcamp] Bobby Ingham – I Feel So Good I Swear I Could Fly [Sneaker Social Club/Bandcamp] On Angel of the North, released on Low End Activist‘s Sneaker Social Club, Leeds-born interdisciplinary artist Bobby Ingham echoes the label boss’s excavation of his Oxford council estate origins, featuring Ingham’s grandmother and Ingham’s own spoken word, with spookily discordant synths and fragmented rhythms tracing a skeleton of UK bass music, from grime to r’n’b-laced trip-hop. Berndt / Schmidt – Gecko Lazzaro [Thrill Jockey/Bandcamp] Drew Daniel, one half of Matmos, is quite prolific outside of the beloved duo, with a varied solo career as The Soft Pink Truth as well as various collaborations. It’s less common to hear solo or other non-Matmos music from Drew’s partner Martin M.C. Schmidt, so the new album Cloud Machines, which finds Schmidt working with Baltimore experimental mainstay John Berndt, should make us sit up and listen. The humour and weirdness of Matmos is very much present, but its exploratory sound – from the first couple of singles – takes in Krautrock studio experimentation, postpunk out-rock and any other leftfield musical non-traditions. Harrington, Jaffe, Shiroishi – FRACTAL HASH [AKP Recordings/Bandcamp] Via LA label AKP Recordings, Making Colors is the second improvised wonder from three talented musicians who work comfortably across genres. Dave Harrington may be best known for his collaboration with Nicolas Jaar, Darkside, Max Jaffe for the art rock/avant-pop of JOBS and drumming in Amirtha Kidambi’s Elder Ones, and Patrick Shiroishi for his solo saxophone & sound-art as well as hardcore punks The Armed, contemporary music ensemble Wild Up and much more. This spontaneous music can sound like postrock at one time, then free jazz or psychedelic noise, or ambient, all filtered through electronic processing. Rad. Adam Schatz – A Voice Screaming All Aboard (feat. Carmen Quill) [Jealous Butcher Records/Bandcamp] Speaking of jazzers in smudged genres, Adam Schatz is a saxophonist and keyboard player who’s played with prominent indie artists like Japanese Breakfast, This Is The Kit and many others, and his Civil Engineering Vol. 1 is an enjoyable selection of melodic jazz made even better with the double bass of Carmen Quill on most tracks, and Dawn of Midi drummer Qasim Naqvi on a couple too. Purelink & Rainy Miller – Barrons Hotel (I, To, Thee.) [Fixed Abode] Arriving with no fanfare or explanation is this 2-tracker from Manchester producer/singer/iconoclast Rainy Miller, on his Fixed Abode imprint, collaborating with US electronica trio Purelink. Gorgeous smeared electronics with Rainy Miller’s typically morose, yet cutting, work. Listen again — ~222MB

How should Christians think about war? How does the Biblical Framework of Just War help us understand how we should react to what is happening in the Ukraine, Iran, Israel and south Lebanon.We go back to first principles drawing on the work of Augustine of Hippo Thomas Aquinas - asking when is it right to go to war — and how must war be conducted?

UK Property Market Update The headlines for the 11th week of the 2026 UK Property Market (week ending Sun 22nd March 2026)

In the early hours of Monday morning, four ambulances belonging to a Jewish charity were set ablaze in an arson attack in North London. Golders Green, where the attack happened, has the biggest concentration of orthodox Jews anywhere in Europe. And many security analysts say that even though British nationals have been arrested, the trail really leads three thousand miles - and two continents - to Iran. Similar attacks, using homemade explosives or amateurish bombs, have taken place across Europe and the Gulf ever since the war began. And one year ago, President Trump made a point of saying that Biden's border policy had led to Iranian ‘sleeper cells' entering the United States. Most of the pro-war talking points have included questionable claims about Iran's ability to hit the US and its allies with rockets. But is the more immediate and realistic threat actually posed by secret agents? How do we tell them apart from lone wolf attacks? Joining Piers Morgan to discuss the latest is Joe Kent, who last week stepped down as former US director of the national counterterrorism center, author and former CIA case officer in the Middle East, Robert Baer, former IDF brigadier general Yossi Kuperwasser, journalist Jorge Ventura, Iraq war US army veteran Rob Smith and US army special forces veteran Matt Tardio.

Rebecca McLaughlin and Dr. Rob Smith continue their conversation on sex, gender, and transgender theory by tracing how the New Testament holds together real equality and real difference between men and women. They discuss gender dysphoria, disorders of sexual development, and why Christians can pursue deep compassion without affirming claims they believe are untrue. Throughout, they argue that keeping Jesus—and imitation of his servant-hearted love—at the center helps everything else fall into its proper place.Watch Us on YouTubeSign up for weekly emails at RebeccaMcLaughlin.org/SubscribeFollow Us on Instagram and XProduced by ⁠⁠⁠⁠The Good Podcast Co.⁠⁠⁠⁠

Rebecca talks with Anglican minister and theologian Dr. Rob Smith about what “transgender theory” actually claims—and why clarity matters before conversation can even begin. They explore how the Bible frames bodies, sex, and “gender expression,” starting in Genesis and touching on why Christians can't simply throw the word “gender” away.

The Weight of Pain: Understanding that pain has a physical and emotional weight can help leaders connect with those they serve. Leaders should be willing to share in that weight without trying to fix it. Boundaries are Essential: Leaders must establish healthy boundaries to protect their own mental health. This includes recognizing when to step back from situations that may overwhelm them. Community Support: A strong community can enhance recovery and support. Leaders should encourage individuals to seek help from a broader network rather than relying solely on them. Forgiveness and Compassion: Leaders need to practice forgiveness towards those who may not show gratitude or who take advantage of their help. This allows leaders to continue serving without resentment. Opposition in All Things: Recognizing that challenges are a part of life can help leaders understand that they cannot solve every problem. This perspective fosters resilience and growth. Leadership Applications Creating Safe Spaces: Leaders can foster environments where individuals feel safe to express their struggles without fear of judgment. This can be achieved by openly discussing difficult emotions and experiences. Utilizing Resources: Leaders should leverage the strengths of their community by connecting individuals with appropriate resources, such as support groups or other members who have faced similar challenges. Regular Check-Ins: Leaders should regularly assess their own well-being and that of their fellow leaders. This can help prevent burnout and ensure that they are equipped to support others effectively.

Henry VIII wanted to have the most powerful Navy in Europe; he also didn't want to have to travel very far to get it. Around 1512, he built a colossal Naval dockyard on the southern banks of the Thames in London up river from his Greenwich Palace, where he set about building the biggest ships the world had ever seen. Today, you can still find the telltale signs of the history that took place here if you know where to look. Dan joins London tour guide and friend of the podcast, Rob Smith, to trace the beginnings of Britain's Navy and tell the curious tales of early life in the dockyard, the mega ships, the disastrous failures and incredible innovations that made Britain a naval superpower in the 16th century and beyond. If you'd like to take a tour with Rob, you can check out his events here: https://footprintsoflondon.com/live/guides/rob-smith/Produced by Mariana Des Forges and edited by Dougal PatmoreSign up to History Hit for hundreds of hours of original documentaries, with a new release every week and ad-free podcasts.
