100 years ago this year, on a grey January day in 1926, the very first public demonstration of a new piece of technology was given in Soho, London by John Logie Baird. Called by its inventor a televisor, it would soon become a ubiquitous presence in flats and houses across the world known as a television. It's been reported this week that after 100 years of the device showing content designed for it, the television is now the preferred medium for people of all ages to watch algorithm-driven content on Youtube. ….. one of the biggest creators of content in the world It's no longer the case that we, the viewers, watch only what production companies make for us. We film ourselves on our phones, upload them ourselves and watch ourselves. The Victoria and Albert Museum in London has just recognised the importance of short form video as a cultural development by exhibiting the very first video uploaded onto the platform. Entitled ‘Me at the Zoo', it's a 19 second clip that has been viewed 380 million times since it was first posted in April 2005. The fact that we are watching, even on our traditional televisions whatever we want when we want is part of a development that has been happening for some time. It's a development that reveals to us what we value, what we will pay for, what we will put effort into. It appears to tell us that what we want more than anything - is to maximise our ability to choose. It is one of the axioms of our contemporary culture that individual choice is not only desirable but essential for a fulfilling happy life. And that's of course true. At the opposite extreme, a person who is not able to exercise any choice is enslaved, something that is both immoral and illegal. Freedom to choose how we live, what we eat, what we do, is a fundamental aspect of human nature not least according to Christian teaching, which insists that human beings have had free will, from the Garden of Eden onwards, made as we are in the image of God. But Christian spiritual practice will also teach us to stay alert to the illusions and deceptions that accompany the elevation of choice above all else. And what we now know is that as we're scrolling, we're not so much acting as a free human being, but more as an impressionable consumer, subject to the power of the algorithm. Fundamental questions are raised by an ethic that pursues choice above everything else, especially when it sits in the corner of our living space. The new tipping point we've reached faces us afresh with the questions we face when we choose: in whose interest, to whose benefit and, ultimately together, to what end.

Ferndale Pride isn't just a single day in May. It's a months-long celebration of joym community, and giving back that has its roots in a meeting at Soho 16 years ago. In this episode, I talk with Ferndale Pride executive director and longtime listener Julia Music about how the festival started, why it has always been free to attend, and how it has already given more than $500,000 to charity while centering downtown Ferndale businesses.​ Julia walks us through what to expect on May 30 in downtown Ferndale: three stages, Reading with Royalty, 220 vendors, nine food trucks, and a footprint stretching along 9 Mile from Woodward to Livernois. But before the big day, there's a full calendar of events designed to both build community and raise the funds needed to keep Pride accessible.​ You'll hear about the Small Packages cigar-box art auction at Detroit GT Studios, Soho Leather Weekend, Junk Jewels' allergy-friendly treats at Urbanrest, and the "Out of the Closet and Onto the Dance Floor" party that invites you to finally wear that wild outfit hiding in the back of your closet. We also dig into Hot Daddies, the Cougar Hunt (a true "coalition of cougars"), Pistons Pride Night, a psychic self-care evening at Boston Tea Room, and the always-popular Pokémon trivia night at B.

What makes a great store in 2026? Sometimes, it's not clarity — it's curiosity.Recorded live from the show floor at NRF 2026, this episode of Retail Remix features host Nicole Silberstein in conversation with Jack Stratten, Director at Insider Trends and one of the industry's most well-traveled retail observers. Jack spends his time visiting stores around the world, identifying what works, what doesn't, and, most importantly, why.From a wellness-meets-retail concept in Soho to immersive flagships in Paris, Jack breaks down the common thread between standout store experiences: a clear ambition, commitment and, sometimes, a willingness to prioritize discovery over efficiency.

Skybridge Capital founder Anthony Scaramucci, and The Wizard of Soho, Joy Pathak joined CoinDesk Live from Consensus Hong Kong. Pathak, a former bond trader who once managed a $40 billion portfolio at CalPERS, explains why leverage didn't die after the recent market crash—it simply moved into a new, more transparent era. He breaks down how the rise of decentralized exchanges like Hyperliquid and Aevo has handed institutional-grade tools to retail traders, creating an environment where every multi-billion dollar position is visible to the entire world in real-time. Scaramucci argues that while some Wall Street "fuddy-duddies" fear volatility, crypto's 24/7 liquidity actually makes it a safer market than traditional finance.

The Go-To Food Podcast, brought to you by Blinq, the UK company revolutionising the POS game, and today we are joined by a man who has lived about five careers in one life. From scaffolder to delivery driver, chef to publican, and now the force behind two of London's most-loved neighbourhood landmarks: The Plimsoll and Tollington's Fish Bar. Ed McIlroy is funny, blunt, properly self-aware, and, crucially, he is building places that feel like they belong to the city, not the trend cycle.This episode starts with a tease that will have every North Londoner leaning in: a new opening is coming, and soon. Ed gives just enough away to be dangerous, but what follows is even better, a sharp take on originality, why design and personality matter more than “owning” a dish, and how he looks further afield for inspiration without playing copycat down the road. If you have ever rolled your eyes at another identikit “minimal” restaurant, his rant alone is worth the listen.Then it gets properly good: Ed explains how the Plimsoll burger went viral, why he is totally unbothered by internet backlash, and what it really means to run restaurants as a business. He talks candidly about money, margins, dishwashers breaking, and the bizarre shame people project onto hospitality owners for admitting they need to make profit to survive. There is also the legendary influencer story, the police station address, the morale boost, and the moment it all kicked off online.And underneath all the jokes is a serious blueprint for modern hospitality: build local, earn trust, offer value, and make people feel looked after. Ed talks about why pubs feel warmer than restaurants, why service is about to matter more than ever, and why he would rather open a dingy late-licence dive bar than chase Soho rent. If you care about restaurants, running a business, or just want to understand how London's best neighbourhood spots actually happen, this is one you will fly through.Pre Order Ben's Incredible Book - All You Can Eat - By Clicking Here - https://www.amazon.co.uk/All-You-Can-Eat-British/dp/1805221523 Hosted on Acast.

Step back into the early planning of London's West End, where the first purpose‑designed squares began reshaping a city still rooted in medieval streets and haphazard development. In this episode of Ye Olde Guide we explore the origins of London's earliest squares — spaces that bridged the chaotic post‑medieval city and the more ordered, elegant Georgian era to come.From Covent Garden onwards,  we uncover how these early squares transformed the way London grew, creating distinctive pockets of organisation that still define the character of Soho, Covent Garden, and Mayfair today. These are the foundations of one of the world's most celebrated urban landscapes.Send us a text

Las cafeterías silenciosas se ponen de moda en Nueva York para escapar al mundanal ruido

Nueva York siempre ha presumido de ser la ciudad que nunca duerme, pero últimamente pide silencio a gritos. Por eso cada vez hay más espacios donde lo más valiosos es la falta de ruido. Se las conoce como cafeterías silenciosas y se han convertido en auténticos refugios urbanos para reconectar con uno mismo. En el café Biblioteque, ubicado en pleno barrio del Soho, Silvia Haeminens busca precisamente eso: un buen ambiente de trabajo en el que pueda concentrarse “Siento que hay buena vibra, me encanta la música, está muy bien… Aprecio el silencio, sobre todo tengo que acabar un trabajo”, explica.    La pandemia disparó el teletrabajo y con apartamentos cada vez más pequeños, muchos neoyorquinos han buscado despachos improvisados fuera de casa. Es el caso de Marian Redford, sentada a pocos metros de Silvia, disfruta de una infusión mientras se pone al día con sus emails. “Sí, he venido buscando un lugar donde me sienta cómoda, que sea silencioso para que pueda trabajar, y no hay muchos lugares en esta ciudad como este, así que cuando encuentro un lugar como este trato de seguir viniendo”, cuenta Marian bajando la voz casi sin darse cuenta. Aquí no hay lugar para gritos, ni para el estruendo de los autos que se escucha fuera. En la calle el sonido te recuerda que Nueva York es una de las ciudades más ruidosas de Estados Unidos. Y cada vez más personas entienden que el bullicio acaba pasando factura, la OMS (Organización Mundial de la Salud) lleva años alertando de su impacto en el estrés y el sueño. Y los expertos subrayan que el silencio ayuda a recuperar la concentración. De ahí que el silencio se esté convirtiendo en un pequeño lujo cotidiano que los neoyorquinos buscan constantemente. En el Silentcafe de Chinatown la calma y tranquilidad es casi una norma. Sus paredes completamente blancas evitan cualquier tipo de distracción, el olor a incienso llena la sala y unos enormes altavoces se encargan de que la música esté siempre al volumen justo. Para el propietario AJ Jacono, el hilo musical era fundamental cuando abrió su negocio. “Si la música estuviera muy alta, la gente no lo disfrutaría, sería difícil escucharse, concentrarse. Cuando abrí el negocio buscaba un lugar donde la gente pudiera hablar sin preocuparse de que nada les moleste”, dice Jacono. Ahora en Nueva York el ruido ya no está de moda, se busca un respiro que ayude a bajar revoluciones.

A social experiment in SoHo, New York, during Fashion Week, featuring a claw machine containing a single, un-winnable Hermès Birkin bag worth $10,000. A provocative and brilliant use of OOH. Prior to installation, ads across the city were asking "Want pain?" or proclaiming "One priceless handbag you have zero chance of winning," to build intrigue. For those who came along, consolation prizes of t-shirts and keychains eased the pain, extending the ironic message beyond physical the stunt itself.Although not pure OOH, we also chatted a bit about The Lost Class, just because it was a big moment and an incredibly important campaign.We finished on DePop with witty fashion billboards. People sharing their clothes. The buyer and seller together inside the same jumper together. Much like K&K themselves.Thank you so much Katie & Kelley.

More than half the world already lives in cities—and the UN projects that share will rise to 68% by 2050, adding roughly 2.5 billion more people to urban areas. At the same time, the “experience economy” has reshaped what people value in places: not just what a city has, but how it feels to live, work, and gather there. Against that backdrop, fast-growing metros like Dallas–Fort Worth are being forced to answer a high-stakes question: how do you scale growth without losing authenticity?So what does it actually take to build a city with a soul—one made of neighborhoods people name, remember, and choose across the seasons of their lives?On this episode of Tuesdays with Morrisey, host Adam Morrisey sits down with Mike Ablon, Principal at PegasusAblon, for a wide-ranging conversation about craftsmanship, urban identity, and the long game of building places where culture and commerce reinforce each other. Together, they explore Mike's counter-cultural view of entrepreneurship, the ingredients for great cities, and how authenticity, neighborhoods, and talent migration will shape the future of American cities.Top Takeaways:Mike's path to entrepreneurship came after decades of working with great real estate developers such as Robert Venturi, and he saw starting his own firm as the best way to continue his pursuit of becoming a master craftsman. I find this to be a refreshing view on entrepreneurship as our culture has become more and more fixated on founders, and anything less than that can be seen as playing small. Mike's journey is a story of taking the long road and a focus on craft.Great cities are defined by distinctive neighborhoods, such as New York's SoHo, West Village and Meatpacking District, and by their ability to support people through different seasons of life from early career and family formation to later years.Mike places a lot of emphasis on the space between the spaces, and how walkability is more than sidewalks, it's how you feel when spending time in a particular area. People remember how a place makes them feel more than the buildings they were in or around, and they intuitively know which places are authentic versus manufactured. In the Dallas Design District, Mike implemented a “no nationals” policy so the neighborhood would be made up entirely of local stores and restaurants, preserving its creative character.The future of cities will be shaped by talent migration. The old model was that people went where the jobs were. The new model is that talent goes where it wants to live, and the jobs follow. The cities that will win over the next 100 years will be the ones that create places people actually want to be part of, with real culture, character, and a sense of belonging.Full List of Topics Covered:Mike's counter-cultural view of entrepreneurship as a byproduct of craftWhy founder identity is overrated and mastery is underratedThe role of mentorship in becoming a master craftsmanWhat actually makes a great cityWhy neighborhoods matter more than skylinesThe space between the spaces and why it defines urban lifeAuthenticity versus manufactured developmentHow Dallas evolved and what young cities can still becomeExperience economy versus ownership economyDensity, walkability, and suburban urban coresWhy talent now moves first and jobs followWhat gives a city soulBuilding places that make people feel they belongLong-term thinking in decades, not development cyclesThe responsibility of builders in shaping cultureMike Ablon is the founder of PegasusAblon, a Dallas-based real estate development firm behind the transformation of the Dallas Design District, and a former Dallas mayoral candidate. Mike has spent his life striving to “build things that matter,” focusing on places where culture and commerce intersect, through a deep commitment to craftsmanship and long-term thinking.

Frustrated by the limitations of pod-based machines and the outdated technology dominating the super-automatic espresso category, Sahand set out to build something better—a beautifully designed, app-connected espresso machine that delivers café-quality coffee at the push of a button. What started with him walking the streets of SoHo with two prototypes and eating one meal a day to conserve cash has grown into a company serving tens of thousands of customers who demanded more from their daily coffee ritual. With a background spanning finance, hardware, and design, and fluency in Chinese that took him from Saturday school as a kid to manufacturing facilities in Shenzhen, Sahand brought a unique perspective to an industry that hadn't innovated in decades. Today, Terra Kaffe's machines—from the flagship TK-02 to the compact Demi—represent what happens when you refuse to accept the status quo and build with relentless attention to detail.

From the dislocated, sun soaked childhood of an RAF family to a life spent shaping British comedy, Dawn French's story is one of resilience, warmth and hard won self knowledge. In this generous conversation with James O'Brien, recorded five years ago, she reflects on the moves that defined her early years, the confidence gifted to her by loving parents, and the shock of losing her father just as adulthood was beginning. She recalls her time at boarding school in Plymouth, the drama teacher who changed her life, and the year she spent in New York after winning a fiercely competitive debating scholarship.Dawn speaks openly about stumbling into comedy by accident, her early days at the Central School of Speech and Drama, and the moment living with Jennifer Saunders set the course for their four-decade partnership. She revisits the wild beginnings of The Comic Strip, moonlighting as a teacher by day and performing in a smoky Soho club by night.Along the way, she discusses the unusual pressures of fame, the introversion that sits behind the jazz hands, and the fierce, uncomplicated love that shaped her as both daughter and mother. Warm, candid and often very funny, this episode offers an intimate portrait of a national treasure who remains thoughtful, grounded and endlessly generous in spirit.

In November 2025, just days after Zohran Mamdani won the New York City mayoral race but before he could take office, outgoing Mayor Eric Adams signed an executive order permanently designating Elizabeth Street Garden as parkland—a move widely seen as a "political poison pill." The fate of this garden reflects a core tension in urban governance, not just in New York but across America: Should we build more housing, or protect existing communities? And who gets to decide the future of a neighborhood? In this episode, we're joined by Yuxiang Luo, an urban planner based in New York, to explore ten years of controversy surrounding a single community garden—and the invisible power struggles that shape New York City politics. Yuxiang has previously appeared on two episodes about New York: "Why Is Housing in New York So Expensive?" and "Why Is the New York Subway So Run-Down?", both available on our sister podcast Mo Electives (选修课).

This segment of the Omni Talk Retail Fast Five, sponsored by the A&M Consumer and Retail Group, Mirakl, Ocampo Capital, Infios, and Quorso, analyzes Target's new permanent Soho store featuring "The Drop" rotating seasonal styles, a Broadway Beauty Bar, and influencer-curated selections. Anne sees potential if Target can solve the technology and operational challenges needed to scale this concept, especially as Ulta departs Target stores. Chris pushes back hard, calling it "pure PR sizzle" that's designed for Instagram photos rather than operational scalability. The debate gets heated as they discuss whether New York City is the right testing ground. ⏩ Tune in for the full episode here: https://youtu.be/RjBUyfWgxzY #Target #TargetSoho #retailinnovation #storeconcept #experientialretail #retailstrategy #omnichannel

The Hideaway Club, now part of London's Chinatown, opened on 16th December, 1964. Ronnie and Reggie Kray didn't turn up for the big night, even though they had booked a table. It was an opening gambit in a war of intimidation against the manager of the club, Huw Cargill McCowan - to whom the gangsters had proposed a protection racket; threatening him when he turned down their offer. In this episode, Arion, Rebecca and Olly explain how the Krays' (first) trial fell apart; consider how the brothers used the glamour of their West End nightclub to sanitise their personal brand; and explain how journalist John Pearson shaped the public understanding of these notorious bad boys while they were behind bars…  Further Reading: • ‘The Kray Twins - Just Pictures' (Rich2015, YouTube, 2020): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AhR7dyGmipM • ‘An Evening at El Morocco with the Kray Twins and Barbara Windsor' (Flashbak, 2016): https://flashbak.com/evening-el-morocco-kray-twins-barbara-windsor-59411/ • ‘The hidden history of London's Chinatown' (Telegraph, 2018): https://www.telegraph.co.uk/travel/destinations/europe/united-kingdom/england/london/articles/london-chinatown-history/ This episode first aired in 2021 Love the show?
