Long-time listeners know we love it when previous guests return! On this episode, Finian Sedgwick, chief growth officer at BAXUS, comes back onto the podcast.Finian and David chat about the growth of BAXUS and the BoozApp, including new features for the peer-to-peer marketplace, popular bottles and spirits categories, and the rabbit hole members can go down when searching for items to purchase and trade. They also talk about bottles that have grabbed Finian's attention, why he's bullish on wine, and how alcohol-free cocktail menus are more important than some operators may think.Speaking of operators, the two also discuss the doom-and-gloom articles blaming Millennials and Gen Z for "killing" or otherwise "ruining" alcohol consumption and sales. Is that really the state of booze, or are people rage-baiting for clicks, and are some operators failing to meet their guests where they are?NotesBAXUS websiteBoozApp websiteFinian Sedgwick LinkedInBar Hacks IGDavid Klemt IGKRG Hospitality IGKRG Hospitality website

In 1966, President Lyndon B. Johnson declared that the third Sunday in June would henceforth be celebrated as Father's Day. It was a symbolic gesture aimed at strengthening paternal bonds, as well as a tacit rejection of the policies recommended by Daniel Patrick Moynihan, who had just left Johnson's administration in disgrace after his controversial report on Black family life and poverty was leaked. “As we know it,” Scholar contributor Augustine Sedgewick writes in his new book, “Father's Day is an unintended consequence of the fractious American politics of race, gender, and class.” Sedgewick's book, Fatherhood: A History of Love and Power, is the story of how such politics ensnarled parental care, and of the men who expanded the domain of fathers across generations of crisis and change, from Aristotle and Henry VIII to Freud and Bob Dylan. Go beyond the episode:Augustine Sedgewick's Fatherhood: A History of Love and PowerThe far right's signature style is less about dad pants and more about fatherhood: read Sedgewick's essay “Ku Klux Khaki”“Thoreau's Pencils,” Sedgwick explores the abolitionist's relationship with his family—and his family business's ties to slaveryFor more on the Moynihan Report and political interventions on parenting, read Melinda Cooper's Family ValuesTune in every (other) week to catch interviews with the liveliest voices from literature, the arts, sciences, history, and public affairs; reports on cutting-edge works in progress; long-form narratives; and compelling excerpts from new books.

In Her Image: Finding Heavenly Mother in Scripture, Scholarship, the Arts, & Everyday Life
In this engaging conversation, Meg Rittmanic and Amy Sedgwick explore the themes of Easter, Holy Week, and the significance of feminine symbolism in Christianity from a more feminine lens. They discuss the beauty of spring as a time of renewal and rebirth, as well as the sacredness of liminal spaces and death. The conversation delves into the role of Mary Magdalene, the symbolism of the cross, and the Divine Feminine. Amy shares a beautiful campfire-style story of Holy Week from the perspective of Mary Magdalene. Meg and Amy reflect on personal experiences with Lent and Easter and reflect on the importance of creating meaningful celebrations that connect with spiritual traditions going forward.Amy Sedgwick is a multi-generational Latter-day Saint woman, fertility awareness mentor, massage therapist, yoga teacher, and the creator of the Embracing Sacred Cycles podcast. Amy has spent over two decades navigating her own fertility journey, which led her not only to deep healing but also to a spiritual awakening she calls her “faith expansion.” Through her work, Amy helps women reconnect with their bodies, their cycles, and the Divine, weaving together wisdom from her Mormon roots and sacred feminine traditions around the world. https://podcasts.apple.com/nz/podcast/embracing-sacred-cycles-a-latter-day-fertility-podcast/id1773097600Amons' Adventure: a Family Story for Easterhttps://a.co/d/fdpnfYfChrist Centered Easter by Emily Bell Freemanhttps://a.co/d/5E41VBbhttps://www.etsy.com/market/emily_belle_freeman_easterThis Holy Week, Amy Sedgwick has created a special episode that weaves together what she's learned from studying Holy Week through the lens of high church traditions—like Catholic, Anglican, and Eastern Orthodox practices—and combines it with her own sacred re-story-ation of Holy Week told from the perspective of Miriam of Magdala, or Mary Magdalene.This episode is a deeply reflective offering—rich in feminine symbolism, ancient scripture, apocryphal texts, and expansive Latter-day Saint theology. Amy invites us to see Holy Week not just through the lens of Christ's suffering, but through the eyes of the women who were there—and to reclaim the often-overlooked role of Mary Magdalene in the passion, death, and resurrection of Christ. It's a poetic and reverent journey that brings us closer to the Divine Mother, the Tree of Life, and the sacred union of Heavenly Parents.
After 29 years of practicing law, including significant time in both law firms and in-house roles, Aisha Jorge Massengill has launched her own subscription-based employment law practice under the brand Sedgwick Andrews. Named after places in the Bronx where she grew up, her firm offers tiered subscription plans with different levels of access and benefits for emerging to established businesses. She leverages modern tech tools like SixFifty, Calendly, and AI platforms to run her practice efficiently, while outsourcing tasks like design work to focus on providing value to clients.Drawing from her experiences as a woman of color in the legal profession, Aisha emphasizes the importance of knowing one's worth and walking in one's truth. She describes leaving traditional corporate roles, where she rose to vice president level positions, to build something that allows her to serve clients on her own terms. Her approach focuses on building relationships rather than transactional interactions, and she grows her practice through a combination of organic networking, speaking engagements, and social media presence on LinkedIn and Facebook. She views the subscription model as particularly beneficial because it removes the pressure of billable hours and allows clients to access quality legal counsel without fear of running up large bills.__________________________Learn about Sedgwick Andrews.Check out my other show, the Law for Kids Podcast.Get Connected with SixFifty, a business and employment legal document automation tool.Sign up for Gavel, an automation platform for law firms.Visit Law Subscribed to subscribe to the Substack newsletter to get notified about every episode, listen from your web browser, and for additional content.Follow @lawsubscribed everywhere.Sign up for the Subscription Seminar waitlist at subscriptionseminar.com.Check out Mathew Kerbis' law firm Subscription Attorney LLC.

On this week's episode of Local Legends, Martin is joined by the absolutely lovely, incredibly talented writer, folklorist and podcaster Dr Icy Sedgwick, whose show Fabulous Folklore is absolutely brilliant.While her podcast has been running for nigh-on six years, Icy has been blogging about folklore for much longer, and she has written several books, including the excellent Rebel Folklore: Empowering Tales of Spirits, Witches and Other Misfits from Anansi to Baba Yaga, which came out in 2023. Though that collection is only the very tip of the "Icy-berg" as she has also published short story collections, novels and novellas in an array of genres, from Westerns to Fantasy books to Gothic horror, and many others.In terms of the ‘Dr' bit, Icy's PhD is in Haunted House movies, which, if you weren't already convinced, makes her, firstly, super-cool in an of itself, and, secondly, a very Three Ravens-y type of person. An expert in folklore, ghosts, and a diverse range of genre fiction? Yes please!Moreover, for our purposes this week, Icy is the perfect person to speak to about Northumberland as she was born there, is still resident there, and she has lived in the county for almost all of her life, developing detailed and ranging knowledge of the county's heritage and stories.So, settle in for a good ol' chinwag which covers so many topics, from life as a jobbing writer to the joys and challenges of discussing folklore on social media, Icy's capacity to bend time, and some wonderful stories, from Silky, Northumberland's Swiss Army Knife-ghost, to The Laidly Worm, the Simonside Dwarves, and all sorts of other appropriately fabulous stuff.To learn more about Icy, read her blog, buy her books, and find links to he social media channels and the Fabulous Folklore Podcast, do visit her website at www.icysedgwick.com.And otherwise, we will be back on Monday with our brand new County Episode, where we will be digging into the history and folklore of Cheshire!The Three Ravens is an English Myth and Folklore podcast hosted by award-winning writers Martin Vaux and Eleanor Conlon.Released on Mondays, each weekly episode focuses on one of England's 39 historic counties, exploring the history, folklore and traditions of the area, from ghosts and mermaids to mythical monsters, half-forgotten heroes, bloody legends, and much, much more. Then, and most importantly, the pair take turns to tell a new version of an ancient story from that county - all before discussing what that tale might mean, where it might have come from, and the truths it reveals about England's hidden past...Bonus Episodes are released on Thursdays (Magic and Medicines about folk remedies and arcane spells, Three Ravens Bestiary about cryptids and mythical creatures, Dying Arts about endangered heritage crafts, and Something Wicked about folkloric true crime from across history) plus Local Legends episodes on Saturdays - interviews with acclaimed authors, folklorists, podcasters and historians with unique perspectives on that week's county.With a range of exclusive content on Patreon, too, including audio ghost tours, the Three Ravens Newsletter, and monthly Three Ravens Film Club episodes about folk horror films from across the decades, why not join us around the campfire and listen in?Learn more at www.threeravenspodcast.com, join our Patreon at www.patreon.com/threeravenspodcast, and find links to our social media channels here: https://linktr.ee/threeravenspodcast Get bonus content on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

At the end of the American Revolution, Elizabeth Freeman was an enslaved widow and mother living in Massachusetts. Hearing the words of the new Massachusetts state constitution which declared liberty and equality for all, she sought the help of a young lawyer named Theodore Sedgwick, later Speaker of the House and one of America's leading Federalist politicians. The lawsuit that she and Sedgwick pursued would bring freedom to her and her daughter, as well as thousands of other enslaved people. After leaving her enslaver's family to work for the family of Theodore Sedgwick, she effectively became the foster mother to his seven children when his wife Pamela became a chronic invalid, enabling Sedgwick to pursue his political career. Two of his sons would credit her with saving their lives. His daughter Catharine Maria Sedgwick, one of the most famous female novelists of the early decades of the nineteenth century, would make her the model for one of her most celebrated heroines. A Revolutionary Woman: Elizabeth Freeman and the Abolition of Slavery in the North (McFarland, 2024) details Elizabeth Freeman's life and the far-reaching influence of her battle for freedom.
