This is the afternoon All Local for December 20th, 2025.
New Yorkers have gotten around their cities by subways, buses, elevated trains, streetcars and ferries. And the ways in which they have paid for them have changed as well. And keeps changing!This month, the city is saying farewell to the MetroCard, the magnetic-stripe card that has gotten the town moving since the early 1990s. When the orange cards debuted, they replaced the strange physical tokens commuters had been using since 1953.Mass transit fares were also a key issue in the past New York mayoral race — and they've always been a key issue for voters since the late 19th century. That's part of the reason that fares famously remained five cents for decades. But as the subway system expanded, stretching through Brooklyn, Queens, and the Bronx, it soon became evident that it was becoming too expensive to operate.But changing the price is one thing; going from currency to token to MetroCard to OMNI (our latest method) requires technical modifications of every station in the system. In 1953, that entire system changed — literally overnight — to accommodate the first tokens.Jodi Shapiro of the New York Transit Museum joins the podcast to discuss the museum's latest exhibition, FAREwell MetroCard, which celebrates the newly retired fare system.This episode was edited and produced by Kieran Gannon Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

We're discussing the feedback from Sooz Review of Jaws, and why people are real worked up about it. We learn about a woman who changed her gender on LinkedIn only to get a 400% increase in page views, so obviously we're mad about it. Sarah explains why drones are being used in warfare and it feels more dangerous than you'd think. Susie describes a study that had a man dressed as Batman entering a subway car, and the surprising effect it had on passengers, but the real surprise was the conclusions it gave scholars. We learn about a man who is wearing ridiculous pants to win a jeans contest for absolutely no reason, and Sarah cannot quit laughing at him. Plus, we hear about a trial where a mistress was fined almost $2M for breaking up a marriage, while the man was not held accountable in any way.Brain Candy Podcast Website - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/Brain Candy Podcast Book Recommendations - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/books/Brain Candy Podcast Merchandise - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/candy-store/Brain Candy Podcast Candy Club - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/product/candy-club/Brain Candy Podcast Sponsor Codes - https://thebraincandypodcast.com/support-us/Brain Candy Podcast Social Media & Platforms:Brain Candy Podcast LIVE Interactive Trivia Nights - https://www.youtube.com/@BrainCandyPodcast/streamsBrain Candy Podcast Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/braincandypodcastHost Susie Meister Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/susiemeisterHost Sarah Rice Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/imsarahriceBrain Candy Podcast on X: https://www.x.com/braincandypodBrain Candy Podcast Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/braincandy (JOIN FREE - TONS OF REALITY TV CONTENT)Brain Candy Podcast Sponsors, partnerships, & Products that we love:Get $35 off Aura's best-selling Carver Mat frames - named #1 by Wirecutter - by going to https://auraframes.com and using promo code BRAINCANDY at checkout.For 20% off your order, head to https://reliefband.com and use code BRAINCANDYSee Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

主播:翩翩(中国)+ Adrian(美国) 片头:Try Everything 片尾:Fantasy今天节目的新主播是来自青岛地铁的最新英文播音员Adrian。每天成千上万的乘客听着他的声音穿梭于城市之中,他却笑称自己是这座城市里“most familiar stranger(最熟悉的陌生人)”。今天我们就从青岛地铁走进Adrian的世界。01. Metro vs. Subway 地铁名称的不同��为什么青岛地铁使用Metro而不是美式英语中更常见的Subway呢?在欧洲和亚洲(Europe and Asia),更常用Metro表示“地铁”。这个词源于法语词métropolitain,意为“大都市铁路(metropolitan railway)”。Metropolitan源自希腊词metropolis,意为Major City(大都市)。近期热映的《疯狂动物城2》——其英文片名改为Zootropolis就是用了这一词根的wordplay(双关语)。Zootropolis:是将Metro替换为Zoo,就是指“动物大都市”。第一部叫 Zootopia(动物乌托邦),剧情比较理想化,第二部改成 Zootropolis(动物大都市),可能剧情也会更加真实、复杂、充满挑战。因为Metro这个词根有“大都市感”,所以它在全球都被广泛采用。如伦敦的London Metro、巴黎的Paris Métro,以及中国的上海、广州等地。北京沿用北美常用的Subway——字面意为“地下的路”。它很容易让人联想到fast-food chain(快餐连锁店)Subway(赛百味)。青岛地铁选用的是Metro这个词,听起来更国际范儿和现代化(international and modern)。02. 声音的接力:Adrian如何成为青岛地铁的“代言人”Adrian与地铁播音的缘分始于messages in a groupchat on wechat(微信群聊)。此前,青岛地铁的英文播报由另一位美国人Win录制多年,而Win也是青岛地铁第一个英文播音员(一席文化公众号有相关链接),他之前也来过我们“老外来了”节目。当Win因迁居西安时,恰逢青岛地铁新线规划期,需要寻找一个long-term voice(长期稳定配音的新声音)。Adrian通过Win了解到这一机会,主动联系录音棚提交试音,最终成功接棒,完成了一段温暖的“声音接力”。03. 从摄影师到播音员:Adrian的经历令人意外的是,Adrian并非科班出身的播音员。大学时他主修photograph(摄影),曾为青岛的外文杂志Redstar担任摄影师,并拍摄过多场cultural events(本地文化活动),其中就包括the first French Festival(首届法国音乐节)。而在法国音乐节当天,主播翩翩和Adrian同在现场,shared the same beautiful night,包括the sunset(晚霞), the cool sea breeze(夏日的凉风)and the music。Adrian表示地铁播音的biggest challenge(最大挑战)是pronouncing the Chinese station names perfectly(精准读出中文站名)。例如“石老人海水浴场”、“浮山所”、“观象山”、“台东”等等,他需要反复向录音师请教并repeat it many times(重复练习),才能呈现最终流畅准确的播报。04. Adrian的中国情缘Adrian与中国的缘分始于七岁那年——第一次使用chopsticks(筷子),这让他感受到beautiful dance with my fingers(手指间美妙的舞蹈),从此对中国文化与美食心生向往。他先是在济南生活了三年,经朋友“sell(安利)”Qingdao的seafood(海鲜)与Tsingtao Beer(青岛啤酒)后,就移居到青岛,一晃已经七年。如今他自诩为“老青岛人”,热爱这里的滨海生活与丰富美食,甚至能简单烹饪scrambled eggs with tomatoes(西红柿炒蛋)和fried rice(炒饭)这样的Chinese dishes。从七岁第一次握筷子的小孩,到the voice of the Qingdao Metro(青岛地铁的“声音名片”),Adrian的旅程充满奇妙色彩。他表示:“It really has been an amazing adventure(这真的是一场精彩的冒险)”。当你坐青岛地铁的时候,可以仔细听听报站声,那可能就是Adrian在为你指路。
Tune in to a special bonus episode of Momus: The Podcast featuring a live recording from the launch of writer and critic Minh Nguyen's new book Memorial Park: Revisiting Vietnam (Art Metropole & Wendy's Subway, 2025). This event, co-presented by Art Metropole and Momus as part of the Momus Talks series, brought Nguyen into conversation with writer Tiana Reid to discuss writing about place, the personal as critical position, and how art criticism can open up broader cultural histories and experiences by “using art to write about something else.” More about the book from Wendy's Subway: “Driven by a diasporic curiosity that seeks discovery over dwelling on loss, Memorial Park avoids nostalgic idealism or reflexive condemnation. Instead, Nguyen takes seriously the legacy of Vietnamese liberation by naming what it has become—and what it has not. What emerges is a complex picture of the country today and a reflection on how we inherit and reckon with radical histories that shape our world.”Momus: The Podcast is edited by Jacob Irish, with production assistance from Rose Bouthillier and Chris Andrews.Thanks to this episode's sponsor Rabkin Foundation for supporting our work.Thanks to Minh Nguyen and Tiana Reid for their contribution to this season.

“Descending the stairs, I was disappointed to see a two-digit number in the wait time for the train. the music started a couple minutes later. they had a pedal and an instrument i couldn’t identify. i wouldn’t say it was dreamy, and there’s not really a synonym i can find that captures it. maybe bewitching. the train came, they packed up and left, then my train came, and since then i’ve been googling things like “synth you can blow into” or “digital woodwind” trying to find out more.”

On this week's Extra Serving, NRN editor in chief Sam Oches and executive editor Alicia Kelso discuss the latest restaurant industry news, including McDonald's big win with its Grinch Meal, Subway's controversial Sub Club revamp, and the trend of restaurant companies pushing more for menu simplicity. First up is McDonald's new Grinch Meal release, which came with either a Big Mac or 10-piece McNugget, plus “Grinch Salt” McShaker Fries and collectible socks. The promotion, which launched Dec. 2, has been so popular that markets are starting to sell out. Sam and Alicia discuss the promotion and why it struck a chord with consumers. Next up is Subway, which revamped its Sub Club with a deal that offers a free footlong for every three purchased. Franchisees aren't happy about the deal, which they said hurts profitability. Sam and Alicia are inclined to agree, and break down why a deal like this is tough for Subway of all chains. Then they dig into a story Alicia recently wrote about menu simplicity and why several companies are beginning to pull back after years of innovations and LTOs. Could we be seeing some decision fatigue among consumers especially? Finally, managing editor Leigh Anne Zinsmeister interviews Vishal Patel, cofounder at Tacoria Mexican Street Kitchen. For more on these stories: McDonald's brings McShaker Fries to the U.S.Subway franchisees say the chain's new loyalty program is too aggressiveWhy simplicity matters more than ever for restaurants

This week, we come in hot — starting with wuxia vibes, holiday chaos, and cursed Christmas remixes of “September” — before diving into music stats, Taskmaster binges, Eden's Wuxia/Baihe adventures, and Peter's latest reading spree (including Gödel, Escher, Bach). Eventually, we embark on the Most Important Cultural Work of Our Time: a fast-food and fast-casual tier list. Along the way, we crown unexpected champions, bury some long-held myths (looking directly at you, In-N-Out), and declare Waffle House the beating heart of American civilization. It's unhinged, joyful, occasionally shameful, and fully definitive.Opening ShenanigansEden opens with an incredible wuxia monologue introducing Beauty's Blade, the Baihe novel they've been reading.Peter tries (and fails) to match the energy.Thanksgiving recaps: delayed flights, Target wandering, and the absolute war crime that is “Do You Remember…the 21st Night of December” playing over store speakers.Life Updates & MediaEnd-of-year malaise, work overload, and winter dread.Apple Music Replay breakdowns:Peter: another year, another Slow Forever domination.Eden: a deeply chaotic top-albums list featuring Rebecca Black, Japanese jazz fusion, KPM library music, and Tron: Legacy.Taskmaster binges continue.Peter's current reading includes Three-Body Problem and the 900-page Gödel, Escher, Bach.Eden is deep into Where Winds Meet (“What if Assassin's Creed but Wuxia and optionally an MMO?”), and fully living in Jianghu.Manga corner: Kaiju Girl Caramelise is adorable and unhinged in equal measure.

On March 20th, 1995, the Tokyo subway system was flooded with sarin nerve gas in a coordinated terrorist attack by the religious cult Aum Shinrikyō. Led by the charismatic new-age guru, Shoko Asahara, the well-funded and technologically ambitious Aum organization manufactured and deployed chemical weapons in an attempt to bring about the end of the world. In the chaos that followed, 13 people were killed, thousands were injured, and the international community shuddered at the possibility of future attacks by fringe political groups.

Send us a textRemembering Ozzy Osbourne on his birthday. A hilariously dated Subway employee training video. Some of the wildest mishaps during the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.Episode 222 kicks off December and the Holiday Season with a package of GenX nostalgia tucked neatly under the tree.It all begins with a celebration of the Prince of Darkness himself, Ozzy Osbourne, on what would have been his 77th birthday. A creator of heavy metal, a celebrated icon of music, a reality TV star, and more. Ozzy transcended music and became a pop culture legend. We dive deep into his life and the accomplishments of the man himself.Awkward interactions, questionable hygiene, and seriously weak attempts at humor. You'll find all of this and more in a hilariously dated employee training video from Subway in 1993. All you need to know is there is a pie chart of customer complaints, with one of them being not wearing gloves, and the very next scene is an employee making a sub without gloves.

“I had people in my life telling me this was a funny movie…” - Steve On this week's show, we're getting into our month of holiday programming with a chat about the totally dated Christmas comedy, Just Friends! How annoying is it that this movie barely cares about being set at Christmas? Why couldn't we get just a little more for the incredible Julie Hagerty to do in the movie? How abhorrent is the entire idea of the “Friend Zone” in the first place? Is this one of the biggest public humiliations at a movie's house party? And why is Ryan Reynolds doing a Cartman voice when he's in that abysmal fat suit the production borrowed from the Friends archive? PLUS: A Jared from Subway reference in this film that Chris accurately describes as “completely destabilizing”! Just Friends stars Ryan Reynolds, Amy Smart, Anna Paris, Chris Klein, Christopher Rodriguez Marquette, Fred Ewanuick, Amy Matysio, and Julie Hagerty as Carol Brander; directed by Roger Kumble.

In this episode of The D2D Podcast, Hunter sits down with Dante Strom, Director of Marketing at The Ranches Golf Club. Dante shares how her background in sales shaped her approach to building high performing teams and revenue driven systems. Her story takes you from early lessons at Subway to shaping sales processes that drive strong conversions today. Dante explains why new and struggling reps need to understand people, process, product, and performance to succeed. She breaks down how discipline in the morning, mental preparation, and belief in your own routine set the foundation for better days in the field. She also explains why persistence matters when doors feel heavy, and how small adjustments in your approach change your confidence before the pitch even begins. She talks about her time doing door to door sales, what surprised her, and how it forced her to face personal fears and push into a stronger version of herself. She also shares how she applied sales principles to rebuild a full sales department, hire new people, train them, and increase conversions to levels the business had never seen before. Her view on accountability, ownership, and the power of consistency gives reps simple ideas they can apply right away. Listeners get a real look at how top performers think, how they prepare, and how they turn skills into results.You will find answers to key questions such as:• What routines help me perform with more confidence on the doors• How do I handle objections without losing control of the conversation• Why do people, process, product, and performance matter for new reps• How do top reps adjust when a customer breaks their normal pitch flow• How do I stay consistent on days when door knocking feels heavyConnect with Dante StromLinkedIn personal: https://www.linkedin.com/in/dantestrom LinkedIn company: https://www.linkedin.com/company/golfandfitnessutah/

In recent days we've seen several points of lights piercing through the Trump-induced darkness. First, a Trump-appointed judge, Karin Immergut, has issued a permanent injunction prohibiting Trump from deploying National Guard troops to the streets of Portland. Second, in a clear repudiation of prosecutorial overreach and abuse by Attorney General Pam Bondi and DC US Attorney Jeanine Pirro, a DC jury has now acquitted - found not guilty - the man who threw a Subway sandwich at a federal officer.Glenn discusses the implications of these two new legal developments.
