It is my tremendous honor to be joined by Patrick Walker of Warning and 40 Watt Sun for what is not only first ever non-print interview, but also HardLore's first ever 1 on 1 interview with a guest.In this appropriately intimate chat, we discuss his humble upbringing in Harlow, Essex UK.From the Jackson 5 and Tears For Fears to Revelation and Saint Vitus, we discover how Patrick's emotional connection with music flourished, and how he evolved into someone i've always considered to be one of the most personal and deliberate songwriters in the world. We learn the canonical standing of Warning and 40 Watt Sun in Patrick's point of view, the 20 year lasting legacy of "Watching From A Distance" and why now was finally time to return to Warning for "Rituals of Shame."After years of championing Patrick's work both on and off HardLore, it was an honor not only to have this chat, but to share more about someone whose work I admire so much.

A Shot in the Arm Media in partnership with UCSF Institute for Global Health launched a nine-part series to explore the future of global health built around the book Redefining Global Health in the 21st Century, co-authored by Dr. mike Reid (UCSF Institute for Global Health Sciences) and Ambassador Eric Goosby (former U.S. Global AIDS Coordinator and former PEPFAR Chief Medical Officer). In this episode, what if the greatest threat to global health isn't a new virus — it's us? Our funding fatigue, our outdated playbook, our addiction to replication over adaptation. We've saved millions of lives. But are we sleepwalking inexorably into decline, into the enshittocene. Eric and mike don't think so. And they've written a book, “Redefining Global Health in the 21st Century, that sets out an alternative, optimistic future. In this episode, they reflect on the end of the old order, and the implications for innovation and scale up into a new era in global health. mike and Eric are hosted by Ben Plumley from A Shot In The Arm Media. 00:00 Series Kickoff Recap 01:25 Early Wins Foundations 02:07 Global Fund and PEPFAR Tensions 04:40 What Worked Best 06:29 Malawi Dependency Shock 08:48 Why Systems Collapsed 12:50 Donor Ecosystem Incentives 18:30 Designing Better Partnerships 23:25 New Players Multipolar Era 27:21 Philanthropy Promise and Peril 31:44 Limits of Philanthropy 32:24 Gates Foundation Lessons 33:41 Sustainability Commitments 35:56 Country Led Coordination 37:45 Innovation Beyond Tech Fixes 39:28 Private Sector as Resource Motor 42:02 Equity Risks and Guardrails 44:24 Indigenous Knowledge in Trials 48:08 From Pilots to Scale 52:19 Access and Global Rollout Rules 54:34 Paradigm Shift Takeaways 55:25 Episode Wrap and Next Steps Learn more about the book: https://bit.ly/redefining-global-health More from UCSF Institute for Global Health Sciences: https://globalhealthsciences.ucsf.edu Check Out mike Reid's Substack: https://substack.com/@reimaginingglobalhealth Check Out Ben's Substack: https://substack.com/@benplumley1 Join the Conversation!

Lee Kaplan and host Paris Chong discuss the realities of running a long-term business, with Lee candidly describing the transition from the thrill of the hunt for rare books to the daily "grind" of operations. The conversation shifts to the history of Arcana Books' home within the iconic Helms Bakery complex, which Lee reveals was built for the 1932 Los Angeles Olympics. They explore the building's previous life as a high-end mattress showroom and share a mutual understanding of how challenging it can be for business owners to find the time and energy to engage with the art and culture scene outside of their own daily work environments.Show Clip from The Paris Chong Show with Lee Kaplanhttps://youtu.be/lHTJIxcMj44https://www.theparischongshow.com

Chosen by Dave, A Shot at Glory is a Scottish football drama directed by Michael Corrente and written by Denis O'Neill, bringing together a surprisingly heavyweight cast for a film about lower-league football, club loyalty, and men shouting at each other in tracksuits. Robert Duvall stars as Gordon McLeod and also served as a producer, with Michael Keaton, Ally McCoist, Brian Cox, Cole Hauser, Kirsty Mitchell, and Morag Hood rounding out a cast that feels like someone put Hollywood, Scottish football, and a pub argument into the same blender. The film was produced around 1999/2000 and received a limited US theatrical release in May 2002, followed by a DVD release later that year.Filming took place across Scotland, with football scenes using real grounds including Boghead Park, Palmerston Park, Rugby Park, and Hampden Park, while much of the fictional town of Kilnockie was shot in Crail, Fife. The movie also has a proper Scottish football texture thanks to appearances from real players and football figures, while the soundtrack was composed by Mark Knopfler, giving the whole thing a Celtic-tinged musical polish rather than just the sound of 8,000 people shouting “man on.” Critics were mixed, the box office was modest, but over time it has become a bit of a cult curiosity for football fans, especially anyone who enjoys seeing Ally McCoist sharing screen space with Robert Duvall and Michael Keaton.Trailer Guy SynopsisIn a small Scottish town, where the rain falls sideways and football is less a sport than a legally recognised emotional condition, one struggling club faces the fight of its life.Kilnockie FC has history, pride, and a fanbase clinging to hope like it's the last pie at half-time. But when an American owner threatens to rip the club from its roots, only one thing can save them: victory, belief, and a team held together by grit, grudges, and questionable decision-making.Fun factsThe film's working title was reportedly The Cup, which is accurate, but does sound like a placeholder left on someone's laptop until five minutes before the poster was printed.Ally McCoist plays Jackie McQuillan, a fictional footballer, despite McCoist himself being one of Scottish football's most recognisable real-life strikers.Brian Cox appears as Martin Smith, the Rangers manager, years before a whole new generation would know him as Logan Roy in Succession.Cole Hauser, later famous as Rip Wheeler in Yellowstone, plays Kelsey O'Brian, a backup goalkeeper, despite reports noting he had no real football background.Several real footballers appear in the movie, including Owen Coyle, Andy Smith, Peter Hetherston, and Didier Agathe.Robert Duvall reportedly spent time observing Raith Rovers to help shape his performance as a Scottish football manager.The fictional Kilnockie FC was loosely inspired by the kind of improbable cup exploits associated with smaller Scottish clubs, including Airdrieonians' runs in the 1990s.Mark Knopfler's soundtrack album contains 11 tracks and was released in 2002, with Guy Fletcher also involved as producer.Support the ShowIf you enjoy the show and would like to support us, we have a Patreon here.If you're listening on Apple Podcasts or Spotify, leaving us a 5-star review (and a short comment) really helps more people discover the show.

The last time Wisconsin-born writer/director Nathan Deming stopped by for a podcast visit, he was coming off a big win that went beyond any single project. Now he's back to focus a little more intently on one of his own creations — and talk a bit about that previous victory.Deming and his Action! Wisconsin cohorts had plenty to smile about when he joined us in November of 2025, a few months after Wisconsin legislators passed and Governor Tony Evers signed into law the creation of production incentives and a state film office. These days, Deming's joy comes from promoting his gripping new movie, Winter Hymns, which takes an ambitiously creative approach to examining the world of palliative (or end-of-life) care.Shot in a single room at a hospital on a snowy Wisconsin day, the film captures a series of conversation-based “episodes” between a doctor (played by the wonderful Colleen Madden of the American Players Theatre in Spring Green) and her patients. A few days before a special screening and Q&A at Milwaukee's Oriental Theatre, Deming talked with us about being inspired by his father's career as a hospice director, the importance of casting local talent and how the production choices resulted in an emotionally weighty film that paints an authentic picture of a difficult topic.#####Cinebuds is sponsored by Joe Wilde Garage Doors.
Paris Chong chats with Lee Kaplan, the owner of Arcana Books, about the evolution of the independent bookselling scene in Los Angeles. Lee shares the story behind starting his iconic store in 1984, operating initially from a small one-bedroom apartment in Westwood, and explains the strategic reasoning behind choosing the name "Arcana" to stand out in the pre-internet Yellow Pages. Throughout their conversation, they reflect on how the industry has shifted over the last four decades, the disappearance of many historic and metaphysical bookstores, and Lee's personal journey of building a long-lived, all-consuming business with passion and energy.Show Clip from The Paris Chong Show with Lee Kaplanhttps://youtu.be/lHTJIxcMj44https://www.theparischongshow.com

Rob Has a Podcast | Survivor / Big Brother / Amazing Race - RHAP
Kaôh F***ing Rong Rewatch Ep 4 Survivor: Kaôh R?ng gets wild as Rob Cesternino and Chappell break down one of the most intense and bizarre episodes from the season on their Survivor rewatch recap. With scorching heat, relentless challenges, and a shocking medical evacuation, hosts Rob Cesternino and Chappell dig into the heart of the “Caleb medevac episode.” This recap zeroes in on how one brutal reward challenge turns into chaos, what went down back at camp, and the tribal dynamics that led to yet another member leaving the game in dramatic fashion. The episode focuses on the infamous day when the heat gets deadly during a reward challenge, keeping everyone digging in scorching sand for what feels like forever. Players collapse from exhaustion, leading to medical emergencies for Debbie, Sydney, and ultimately, Caleb, who is airlifted out of the game. Rob and Chappell analyze why Survivor spent nearly half the episode on this challenge, the evolving attitudes about player safety, and how Jeff Probst reacts as the stakes get more dangerous by the minute. Back at camp, alliances are tested, and Alicia faces a near-unanimous ousting as her tribe all but skips the strategy scramble before Tribal Council, fast-forwarding to her inevitable torch snuff. Key points of interest include: – Rob Cesternino and Chappell reliving the grueling sand-digging challenge that leads to three castaways passing out from heat exhaustion – Insights on how medical emergencies—including Caleb's evacuation—changed the way Survivor approaches player safety – A deep dive into Alicia's treatment by her tribe, with both hosts questioning the edit and the real-life personal impact – Reflection on how the episode structure highlights old Survivor versus the “new era” approach, especially regarding hard gameplay and compassionate edits – Speculation about how a Shot in the Dark twist might have shaken up Alicia's fate With the pre-swap phase overtaken by dramatic medevacs and bitter tribal divides, Rob and Chappell wonder if Survivor: Kaôh R?ng's handling of danger and bullying would ever fly in the current era. How might newer twists or better casting change these outcomes? And what really happens when the game's physical stakes run headlong into emotional and social limits? Tune in to hear how Rob and Chappell navigate all the highs and lows of Survivor: Kaôh R?ng’s wildest episode—will the chaos lead to new strategies, or is the season about to shift with the coming tribe swap?
