Patricia Finn joins Carol Fitzgerald to discuss her novel, THE GOLDEN BOY, a complex, non-linear narrative about marriage, friendship and redemption that spans multiple timelines. The book explores themes of memory, identity, exile and atonement through the lives of Stafford and Agnes, a wealthy couple who are living on Maui when readers first meet them. The novel's structure consists of three parts: marriage (a 24-hour period on Maui), friendship (non-linear memories) and found family. This is Patricia's first novel at the age of 71, and she talks about how her background — which includes television writing, ghostwriting, corporate communications and crisis management — informs her literary approach. She notes that she used the real-life trial of Steven Truscott from 1959 to explore themes of justice and moral choices.

Bobo's: Beryl Stafford. A Single Mom Turns a Baking Project into a $100M BusinessAt 40, Beryl Stafford's life cracked open. Her marriage ended, she hadn't worked in years, and she had two daughters to raise. She needed income—fast. So she did the only thing that felt real: she baked.What started as 4-ingredient oat bars— hastily placed in a Boulder coffee shop—became Bobo's, a national brand built in the Silicon Valley of natural foods. In this episode, Beryl walks us through the scrappy early days: buying ingredients at full retail, a risky $25K packaging machine, the Whole Foods breakthrough, the burnout, and the pressure shift that comes with outside capital—and Costco.It's a story powered by community support, relentless demos, and a founder who kept saying “yes” before she knew how.What you'll learn: Why “survival” can be a powerful founder advantageHow to sell your product before you feel ready (and why that's often the point)The unglamorous truth of early CPG: shelf life, shared kitchens, endless demosIn a trend-driven category, the value of sticking to a recipe “your grandmother could have made.” The two faces of Costco: growth rocket and operational trapTimestamps:08:35—Divorced at 40… “I was trying to survive.” 12:02—The baking project with her daughter… and the unexpected product-market signal17:21—The first sale: snack bars in cellophane; making up a price28:38—Sharing a kitchen with Justin's Nut Butters: scrappy collaboration + conflict31:49—The first-time founder playbook: sell first, learn the rest later33:54—Whole Foods says yes… before she knows what “freezer safe packaging” even means39:10—Getting into national distribution: “What just happened?” 46:34—Burnout, hiring a CEO, raising outside money—and what changes when investors arrive54:31—The Costco conundrum: huge upside, real downside —------------------This episode was produced by Noor Gill, with music by Ramtin Arablouei.Edited by Neva Grant, with research help from Alex Cheng.—--------------------- Follow How I Built This:Instagram → @howibuiltthisX → @HowIBuiltThisFacebook → How I Built ThisFollow Guy Raz:Instagram → @guy.razYoutube → guy_razX → @guyrazSubstack → guyraz.substack.comWebsite → guyraz.comSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

In this episode, we set the Elevator of History to the Kentucky portion of the Appalachians where we check out the Packhorse Librarians.  Women, funded by the WPA, who brought books into the hoots and hollers of Kentucky, providing reading and kinship in rural communities who otherwise would have no access to books.  They traveled on mules and horses carrying books in saddlebags and pillowcases to needy communities and while they only lasted a short time, they helped change rural Kentucky and make it part of the modern world and helped raise the rate of illiteracy from 31 percent to just 5 percent in the 1940s.  We cover the history, notable packhorse librarians and do our best to honor the history of these 'book women'.  Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/family-plot--4670465/support.

Michael Caines joins Go To Food for one of the most raw and revealing conversations we've ever had. Fresh from winning a Michelin star at The Stafford just months after opening — and still chasing that elusive second star at Lympstone Manor — he breaks down the realities of modern fine dining. From why tasting menus might be getting too long, to why à la carte is far from dead, to the financial tightrope of running a destination restaurant in rural Devon, this is Michael in full flow: honest, sharp and unapologetically ambitious.He takes us back to the beginning — a young lad from Exeter set on joining the Royal Marines before a last-minute pivot to catering college changed everything. We hear about staging at Le Manoir aux Quat'Saisons, walking an hour each morning from a B&B just for the chance to cook for Raymond Blanc, and then heading to France to work under Bernard Loiseau and Joël Robuchon. The brutality of those kitchens, the silence, the stove inspections, the mind games — and a young Gordon Ramsay in the same brigade — it's a masterclass in what elite training really looked like in the 90s.Then comes the moment that changed his life forever. Driving home exhausted, a split-second lapse, the car flipping — and waking up to see his arm gone. Michael recounts the crash in chilling detail: running from the wreckage, asking surgeons if they could save his arm, and returning to the kitchen just two weeks later with no insurance payout, no safety net. Teaching himself to cook left-handed. Learning to fillet fish and truss pigeons again. Being written off — and refusing to accept it.Four years later, he wins his second Michelin star at Gidleigh Park. A crowning moment earned through pain, grit and sheer bloody-minded belief. From building the Abode hotel brand, to rethinking pricing strategy with sold-out lunch offers, to explaining why too many chefs obsess over micro-herbs and tweezers instead of flavour — this episode is packed with stories, lessons and hard truths. It's about resilience, reinvention, and why great chefs — like great restaurants — survive by evolving.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 NFL Combine is officially in the books and while the Rams famously skip the trip to Indy, the smoke is already swirling. On this episode of Bleav in Rams presented by Fanduel, Erin Coscarelli and Ryan Anderson of LAFB Network break down combine week, who the Rams might have their eye on and free agency rumors. The Rams locked up exclusive rights free agents including kicker Harrison Mevis, wide receiver Xavier Smith and lineman Justin Dedich. What does that say about their commitment to special teams stability after last season's kicking carousel? Is Jimmy Garoppolo on his way out? With buzz connecting him to the division rival Arizona Cardinals and head coach Mike LaFleur, we discuss what losing Jimmy G would mean for Matthew Stafford's succession plan - does this signal a potential for LA drafting the heir apparent? Plus, we dive into confirmed Rams draft meetings, including: Explosive Notre Dame RB Jeremiah Love USC wideout Makai Lemon Miami edge rusher Rueben Bain Jr. Oklahoma corner Mansoor Delane Are the Rams going best player available at 13? Prioritizing corner? Pivoting to a more run-heavy offense to extend Stafford's window? Or setting up the next Green Bay style quarterback transition? What is the strategy behind the Rams' unconventional draft process, why skipping the Combine might actually be a competitive advantage, and what these meetings signal about their true offseason priorities.

Matt suggests the LA Rams need to go get a QB this offseason.

In this episode of Breaking Bread, I sit down with my good friend Bart Davis, owner of 360 Marketing and the FloBama in Florence, Alabama AKA the Shoals. Bart and I met at a Whiskey & Wisdom event in Nashville, and we quickly realized we share a lot of the same values: think bigger, build better, and do it with purpose.Bart has become a true student of marketing through his experience in the restaurant business, learning firsthand how brand personality, consistency, and customer experience drive growth. We talk about entrepreneurship in smaller markets, building businesses with vision, and why your values matter just as much as your strategy.Bart was also a guest of Success Supper Club at Stafford's in Drew, MS. 

Evan gets roasted for an airplane meltdown scenario before the show pivots back to the NFL Combine and the New York Post's “biggest offseason storylines” game: the QB carousel, Stafford rumors, franchise tags (including Breece Hall), and whether this draft really could produce only one Round 1 quarterback again. Plus, a deep dive into what the Giants should actually spend on in free agency, why Tyler Linderbaum might be too pricey, and why Cordale Flott could be the sneaky “whoa” contract of the offseason. The hour also features Cinco de Luncho with the Top 5 local NFL players we want back, capped by a full-on debate about trading Kayvon Thibodeaux and why selling low makes no sense. Also in the mix: Tommy Lugauer's travel nightmare, a rabbit hole on the Hughes hockey family, and the weirdest medal-ceremony tradition that has athletes getting handed stuffed mascots right after heartbreak.

We discuss why Ohtani should be allowed to pitch in the WBC (especially since he seems to look pretty good so far in spring workouts). How do the Rams balance trying to win now with Stafford while also trying to find his replacement? Chris Paul spoke about one of the main reasons the Clippers sent him home - and it doesnt make much sense.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Miami releases Tyreek Hill and more. John Harris breaks down NFL cut candidates the Texans should target, plus Jalen Pitre joins Jonathan Joseph on No Audibles. The show opens with an AFC South tour, starting with a Cameron Wolfe report that the Jacksonville Jaguars plan to use Travis Hunter as a full-time cornerback with only part-time receiver snaps in 2026 — vindicating what the hosts argued on draft night. They debate whether Jacksonville would have been better off staying at pick five for Mason Graham instead of trading up to two for Hunter. The Indianapolis Colts segment sparks a discussion about franchising Alec Pierce versus Daniel Jones, and the Tennessee Titans unveil a new logo amid Oilers-inspired uniform leaks that stir up Houston emotions all over again. Then the big story breaks: the Miami Dolphins release Tyreek Hill, James Daniels, Bradley Chubb, and Nick Westbrook-Ikhine in a major roster purge. While Tyreek won't be a Texans target, the hosts pivot to The Athletic's list of one potential cap cut from every NFL team, running through over a dozen names with a Texans lens. Interior defensive linemen Broderick Washington (Ravens), A'Shawn Robinson (Panthers), and B.J. Hill (Bengals) get detailed evaluations, as do offensive linemen Elgton Jenkins (Packers), Ezra Cleveland (Jaguars), Mekhi Becton (Chargers), and Graham Glasgow (Lions). John breaks down which players fit the Texans' scheme, age profile, and budget. The show closes with Jalen Pitre's feature interview on Jonathan Joseph's No Audibles podcast. Pitre reflects on being drafted, getting sent flying by Laremy Tunsil in his first practices, his role as a versatile nickel/safety weapon, his devastating hit on Rashee Rice, the guardian cap decision, leadership in the secondary, and giving back to his hometown of Stafford.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Send a textWhat happens when your franchise quarterback becomes the franchise decision maker? We dig into Atlanta's bold move to put Matt Ryan over football operations and why a clear chain of command might be exactly what the Falcons have needed. We talk fit, risk, and the hires that will make or break this reset—an experienced GM, a head coach with a defined identity, and coordinators who can translate vision into weekly execution.From there, we widen the lens to the playoffs. Rams-Panthers gave us a masterclass in January football where probability models collide with momentum, field position, and feel. We unpack why some fourth-down calls age poorly under pressure and why balanced teams with clean situational habits travel in cold weather. Then we preview the divisional slate—Caleb vs Stafford heat, chess matches on the sideline, and the matchups that matter more than the seeds.We also step into the NBA for a real talk moment on lines you don't cross. The Luka–Schröder dust-up is a reminder that words have weight and respect is currency—on the court and beyond the tunnel. That theme flows into a critique of Memphis' rumored teardown: small markets can't keep chasing novelty over nurturing a nucleus, a lesson Atlanta fans know too well. Finally, a quick hit on Falcons branding and new jerseys—because identity isn't just on the field; it's in the look, the logo, and the standard you set every day.If you're here for smart football talk, honest culture takes, and picks you can actually use, you're in the right place.

In this episode of Bleav in Rams presented by FanDuel, Erin Coscarelli is joined by former NFL quarterback and co-host of The Simms Complete Show, Matt Simms to dissect the ageless wonder of Matthew Stafford. Winning his first MVP at 37, the big question surfaces...is a drop-off coming? Simms makes the case for why Stafford is an “ageless thrower,” what separates his arm talent from everyone else, and why this trait makes him one of one. We get into how his throwing mechanics, anticipation, and mental processing project into the future and what it says about his longevity. And the hard conversation Rams must think about... When do you look to the future if you have a quarterback like Stafford? When is the right time to plan ahead without disrupting a championship window? We start with Puka Nacua. Are the early bumps just natural growth pains for a young star? Simms explains why it's not cause for concern yet and what development actually looks like from a quarterback's perspective. Sean McVay as an educator and how that impacts his coaching tree - how hard is it to constantly replace new coordinators? Simms shares his honest opinion of McVay the human, not just McVay the 'play caller.' Plus we take his pulse on how he really felt about the Bad Bunny halftime show and his experience in San Francisco for SBLX! Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

The hour starts with a full-on takedown of Giannis' “legends don't chase” victory lap, with one bold prediction: he is getting moved this summer and the tweet is going to age horribly. Then the convo pivots to NFL Honors, where Stafford wins MVP in a razor-thin race and it sparks a hilarious relitigation of last year's Giants debate: would you rather have gone all-in for Stafford, or be in the Jaxson Dart era right now? It gets even weirder with NFL Honors moments that left everyone confused, plus callers diving into Super Bowl strategy (Patriots defense vs Seahawks weapons), the never-ending Brady vs Belichick argument, and an alternate universe where the Jets drafted Brady in 2000. Along the way: a legendary Reese's slip-up, why Philly suddenly feels like it's falling apart, what Stoutland and Schwartz resignations could mean, the Giants adding Greg Roman, a Malik Nabers injury timeline breakdown, and a closer look at Russell Wilson's social media behavior that somehow makes Brady's “no dog in the fight” look normal.

Matthew Stafford takes home MVP in a razor-thin finish over Drake May, sparking a deep dive into how close the race really was and why Stafford's late-career surge keeps getting louder. That leads straight into a relitigation of last year's Giants argument: should the Giants have pushed in for Stafford when the rumors were flying, or is landing Jaxson Dart and resetting the franchise timeline the better path? From there, the NFL Honors recap turns into a comedy of confusion, including awkward announcing moments and the kind of “how did this happen?” production decisions that leave everyone staring at each other. The segment wraps with callers and a classic debate about judging Hall of Fame players across eras, plus a reminder that you cannot just box-score your way through football history.

Jerry is here with Matthew Stafford accepting the MVP award and addressing next year. Druski announced the offensive player of the year and he had a tough time saying his name. Sauce Gardner talked about ticking off the Colts coach. Jets defensive tackle Harrison Phillips on the Jets 'cancerous atmosphere'.

The Detroit Lions filled a key staff spot today. Steve Oliver moves from assistant offensive line coach to tight ends coach. The Detroit Lions Podcast breaks down what it means ahead of the NFL Combine at month's end. Steve Oliver to Tight Ends Coach The Lions stayed in house. Oliver earns the promotion after five seasons in Detroit, heading into a sixth. He played at the University of San Diego. Inside Allen Park, he is known for hands-on work with the tackles. That includes Penei Sewell, Giovanni Manu, and Colby Sorsdal when Sorsdal repped at tackle. Continuity matters for this offense. Oliver knows the room. He knows Hank Fraley and the standards on that line. The move keeps the language and teaching aligned for a position group that touches the run game and pass protection on every snap. Assistant OL Opening and Dan Skipper Buzz One vacancy remains: assistant offensive line coach. Dan Skipper is the name to watch. He coached tight ends and offensive line at the Shrine Bowl the day after retiring from the Lions. He knows the scheme and knows Fraley well. That fit tracks with how Detroit builds staff. The goal is a full staff in place before the combine at the end of the month. Programming note from today's update: there will be a daily show on Saturday, no show on Super Bowl Sunday, and then back on Monday. Stafford's MVP and the Detroit Lens Matthew Stafford won MVP in a very close vote. One ballot for Justin Herbert factored into the margin. At 37, Stafford is the oldest first-time MVP. The award strengthens an already robust career case. Detroit fans remain split on Stafford's legacy. Some still celebrate him. Others have moved on. Today's tone was simple: appreciate the validation and the years of production. His moment on the NFL stage, with family in view, underscored the journey. None of it changes where the Lions are now, but it reframes what he did then. Penei Sewell Misses Protector of the Year The NFL rolled out its inaugural Protector of the Year. Penei Sewell was a finalist. He did not win. The award went to a Bear, a result that stung given Sewell's dominance. By most views, he is the best run-blocking right tackle in football, and arguably the best run-blocking offensive lineman overall. Pass protection tilted the vote. There are tackles a tick better in pure pass pro, and that likely cost him. Sewell is steady about it. Use it as fuel or not, the standard remains high. Elsewhere, former Lions head coach Jim Schwartz resigned as the Browns defensive coordinator today. #detroitlions #lions #detroitlionspodcast #steveoliver #tightendscoach #assistantoffensivelinecoach #hankfraley #danskipper #shrinebowl #peneisewell #giovannimanu #colbysorsdal #matthewstafford #nflmvp #sammonson #justinherbert #protectoroftheyear #jimschwartz Learn more about your ad choices.

A bold claim that Patriots vs Seahawks is the least appealing Super Bowl of the last decade. To prove it, the guys run through Super Bowls year by year, comparing pregame intrigue, star power, coaches, quarterbacks, and overall buzz. Brady vs Mahomes, Stafford's redemption, dynasties, underdogs, and first-time contenders all get stacked up against this matchup, and nearly all of them come out ahead. The debate dives into why this Super Bowl feels flat, whether it is fatigue with familiar franchises, less compelling versions of past dynasties, or simply a lack of must-see characters. It wraps with a Monday gut prediction that this game could get ugly, even if opinions might change by kickoff.

Around fifteen years ago, an office worker in Stafford, England, spent her mornings in a quiet upstairs workspace housed inside a 16th-century building. The lower floors operated as a popular café and restaurant, while the upper level remained closed to the public, shared by only a small team.One early morning, during a routine start to the day, she briefly stepped into an empty part of the building before returning to her desk. Nothing felt unusual. Nothing seemed out of place.Moments later, a casual question from a coworker shifted everything.What followed was silent, physical, and impossible to explain—an experience that left no sense of danger, no feeling of harm, and yet stayed vivid long after it ended. She continued working in the building for years. But there was one part of it she never entered again.#RealGhostStoriesOnline #TrueGhostStory #ParanormalEncounter #HauntedWorkplace #HistoricBuilding #UnexplainedMark #SilentHaunting #ListenerStory #SubtleParanormal #UKGhostStory Love real ghost stories?
