Podcasts about Taste

Scott Samuelson is a professor of philosophy at Iowa State University and the author of several books. His latest work is called To Taste: On Cooking and the Good Life.Greg asks Scott about his views on why philosophy and aesthetics have sidelined food and actual taste in favor of nutrition, consumer preference, or narrow ethics. Scott argues food, cooking, and communal meals are central to human meaning, ethics, and hospitality, and that taste is a form of wisdom joining truth, goodness, and beauty while bridging the labels of subjective, objective, and intersubjective judgment. He links taste to style through cooking as an active practice of tasting and adjusting, critiques consumer capitalism's push toward radical aesthetic subjectivity and “food porn,” and the subject of tradition as an evolving conversation. They also connect food to education via metaphors of digestion, emphasizing initiation, attention, and the cultivation of judgment and style, and Scott defends ‘festivity' and ‘shared meals' as two foundations for intimacy and flourishing.*unSILOed Podcast is produced by University FM.*Episode Quotes:Is it possible to be intimate with someone that you've never eaten with?57:28 [Greg LaBlanc]: Do you think that it's possible to be intimate with someone that you've never eaten with? Is it possible to be a friend with somebody that you've never sat down and had a meal? I find it hard to imagine in a way.57:45 [Scott Samuelson] I mean, it's almost impossible to imagine having deep connections, intimate connections with family members, with friends, with a lover that doesn't involve sharing a food and drink on a pretty regular basis, actually. And it's not simply that, "Oh, well, you need to eat," and whatever. It's that, that becomes a scene in which, the intimacy plays out, sometimes at its most fundamental level. The family dinner conversations, or the drinks with the friend or the great meal with your lover or whatever, those are things that are fundamental to what it is.We're not just consumers of food20:01: We've thought about things as we thought about ourselves as consumers, and I want us to think of ourselves not just as consumers, but as cooks, not just as eaters, but as makers of food. And that to me is a better lens for thinking about a good life.Taste is meeting of the subjective and objective09:50: The beauty of taste is that it is precisely the meeting of the subjective and the object. It's putting an object into my subjective mouth, and it's the meeting of those two things. So there's an objective component, there's a subjective component, and there's an intersubjective component as well that one can't really develop one's taste independent of a community, I think, of taste at some level. But just again, to speak fairly bluntly and straightforwardly, I just think the development of taste is just one of the best things in life.Show Links:Recommended Resources:EpistemologyXeniaAlfred North WhiteheadThe Taste of ThingsM.

Welcome to The Daily. Go ahead and pick up your 1 Peter Scripture Journal now. Our text today is 1 Peter 3:8-12: Finally, all of you, have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble mind. Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless, for to this you were called, that you may obtain a blessing. For "Whoever desires to love life and see good days, let him keep his tongue from evil and his lips from speaking deceit; let him turn away from evil and do good; let him seek peace and pursue it. For the eyes of the Lord are on the righteous, and his ears are open to their prayer. But the face of the Lord is against those who do evil."  — 1 Peter 3:8-12 People are easy to love when they're lovable. But the real test comes when they aren't. It's not difficult to be kind when people are kind to you. It's not hard to be patient with people who understand you, appreciate you, and treat you well. But what do you do when someone criticizes you, wounds you, misunderstands you, or repays your kindness with hostility? How should believers respond when people hurt them? Peter broadens the conversation in this section. After speaking specifically to wives and husbands, he says, "Finally, all of you..." This isn't just marriage advice anymore. It's discipleship. It's a snapshot of the kind of people Christians are called to become. Peter gives five characteristics that should mark followers of Jesus: Unity of mind. Sympathy. Brotherly love. Tender heart. Humble mind. Imagine if churches were known for this. Imagine if Christian families reflected this. Imagine if believers became recognized not for outrage and division, but for compassion and humility. But Peter raises the standard even higher. "Do not repay evil for evil or reviling for reviling, but on the contrary, bless..." That's where Peter's instruction becomes challenging. Retaliation feels natural. Someone insults you, and you want to insult them back. Someone gossips about you, and you feel justified in returning the favor. Someone hurts you, and everything in you wants them to feel what they've made you feel. Peter knew those instincts well. This is the same Peter who drew his sword in Gethsemane and cut off Malchus's ear (John 18:10). Peter wasn't naturally gentle. Peter wasn't even naturally restrained. But years of walking with Jesus had transformed him. The man who once retaliated now says: "Bless them." Not because evil isn't evil. Not because hurt doesn't hurt. But because followers of Jesus belong to a different kingdom, with different behaviors due to transformed lives. Peter then quotes Psalm 34, and it's not accidental. David wrote those words after escaping danger, humiliation, and fear of King Saul and King Achish. He had every reason to become bitter. Instead, he testified: "Taste and see that the LORD is good" (Psalm 34:8). God's people have always faced the same choice. Will hardship make you bitter? Or will it make you faithful? You don't control how people treat you. You don't control whether they apologize. You don't control the words they say or the wounds they leave behind. But by God's grace, you do have a choice about what grows in your heart because of it. Don't let hurt disciple you into bitterness, resentment, or the very patterns of evil that wounded you. The world multiplies sin and invites us to pass it along. Christians interrupt it. The people who hurt you don't get to determine who you become. Jesus has already spoken to that through the cross and the resurrection. So instead of replaying the offense today, pray for the person who hurt you by name. Ask God to help you respond in a way that reflects Christ amid the pain. Ask Him to heal what has been wounded in you. And by His grace, let the cycle of hurt stop with you. DO THIS: Think about someone who has hurt you recently. Instead of replaying the offense, pray for them by name today and ask God to help you respond in a way that reflects Christ. ASK THIS: How do I naturally respond when someone hurts me? Is bitterness or resentment taking root in my heart? What would it look like to bless instead of retaliate in this situation? PRAY THIS: Father, You know the wounds I carry and the people who have hurt me. Guard my heart from bitterness and teach me to respond as Jesus did. Fill me with sympathy, humility, and love. Help me interrupt the cycle of evil with grace so that my life reflects Your goodness. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Raise A Hallelujah."

Season 4, Episode 7What if a family recipe could make a college student feel a little more at home?In this episode, I'm taking you inside the University of Wisconsin–La Crosse's Recipes From Home program, which began in 2009 and gives first-year students—including international students—the opportunity to share meaningful family recipes. The UW–La Crosse dining team then turns those recipes into meals served in the Whitney Center Main Dining Room, sometimes feeding 1,200 to 1,500 students.In this episode, I'm joined by members of the team who make the program happen:Lizzy Haywood, Associate Director for Business & Dining OperationsJessica Harke, Registered Dietician Christy Ihrke, Marketing Director for Dining ServicesRobbie Hanson, ChefMichael Raymond, ChefWe talk about where the recipes come from, what happens when a home recipe enters a professional food-service kitchen, how the chefs scale recipes for a crowd, and some of the student favorites—including Street Corn Chicken and Rice Bowls and Homemade Chicken Nuggets.I also talk with Keira Burton, a psychology major from Northbrook, Illinois, whose family's gluten-free Chicken Alfredo Bake was selected for the program.Keira shared what it meant to see a family recipe served on campus—and why that connection between home and college can be so meaningful.I'm sharing three student recipes from the Recipes From Home program:Gluten-Free Chicken Alfredo BakeKeira Burton — Northbrook, IllinoisMee Goreng (Fried Noodles)Zhe Yi Ng — MalaysiaTres Leches CakeCaden DeGlopper — Mukwonago, WisconsinFind all three recipes on the companion post at RandomSweets.com.I want to thank my friend and previous Funeral Potatoes & Wool Mittens guest Shannon Thomasser, who first told me about Recipes From Home. Her son attended UW–La Crosse, and his family's soup recipe was served in the dining hall. That little story stayed with me—and eventually led to this episode.Because sometimes one person shares a recipe, and it leads to an entirely new story.Thanks for listening to Funeral Potatoes & Wool Mittens!University of Wisconsin-La CrosseWebsite: https://www.uwlax.eduDining Services Website: https://dineoncampus.com/UWLACROSSEHost and Producer, Staci Mergenthal⁠⁠RandomSweets.com⁠⁠Website ⁠⁠randomsweets.com⁠⁠Instagram ⁠⁠@potatoesandmittens⁠⁠Instagram ⁠⁠@randomsweets⁠⁠Facebook: ⁠⁠Funeral Potatoes & Wool Mittens⁠⁠Facebook ⁠⁠Random Sweets⁠⁠Pinterest ⁠⁠@staciperry⁠⁠Email: ⁠⁠staci@randomsweets.com⁠⁠

Why does your tea sometimes taste bitter—even when you're using good loose leaf tea?The answer may not be the tea itself. It may be the way you're brewing it.In this episode of TeaMinded, we explore what causes bitterness in tea, the difference between bitterness and astringency, and the simple brewing adjustments that can dramatically improve your next cup.In this episode:• What actually makes tea taste bitter• The difference between bitterness and astringency• Why water temperature matters so much• Why green tea can become bitter with water that's too hot• How steeping time changes extraction and flavor• How much loose leaf tea you should use• Why broken tea leaves can extract more quickly• How cultivar, harvest, processing, and tea quality affect bitterness• Why your water can change the taste of tea• How to troubleshoot a bitter cup• A simple side-by-side brewing experiment you can try at homeOne of the most useful lessons in tea is that brewing instructions aren't absolute rules.If your tea tastes too bitter, try cooler water.Still bitter? Shorten the steep.Still too strong? Adjust the amount of leaf.Change one variable at a time. Taste. Adjust. Try again.Over time, you'll begin to understand what each tea wants—and brewing starts to feel less like following instructions and more like a craft.TeaMinded explores tea culture, loose leaf tea, Japanese tea, craftsmanship, tea rituals, mindfulness, slow living, and intentional living through the lens of tea.Put the kettle on, experiment with your next cup, and stay TeaMinded.#TeaMinded #LooseLeafTea #TeaBrewing #TeaTips #GreenTea #TeaTasting #SpecialtyTea #TeaPodcast

This week, former bartender turned culinary historian Bobby Hicks joins us to talk about his passion for retro cooking. He gives us a history lesson on how recipes evolved thanks to industrial advances, and explains the thinking behind his redos of post-World War II-era recipes, like his carrot croquettes. Bobby Hicks is the author of Retro Recipes: Vintage Dishes with a Modern Twist, and he left us with an amazing recipe for Tomato Aspic. Then, we turn to the science behind human taste with Italian scientists Davide Risso and Gabriella Morini. They talk about distinguishing taste from flavor, how humans use a combination of senses to taste, how preferences change over time, and how understanding the fascinating taste preferences of animals (mosquitoes!) helps us understand taste in humans. Davide Risso is a molecular biologist with a PhD from the University of Bologna, and Gabriella Morini is a professor of taste and food sciences at the University of Gastronomic Sciences of Pollenzo, Italy. They co-authored On Taste in Humans and Other Animals.

The first section “relates to the king's heart and home, and the second to his court and city.” —W.G. Scroggie

It's a beautiful day to go diving through the ocean. Come with me, embrace the salt air and the sea breeze before we plunge beneath the waves! Yes! Taste it... the thrill of adventure! The romance of the waves! The thrill of scraping an abalone free from the rocks with only a small knife and your bare hands! Experience the majesty and wonder of the pelagic world! Meet a specter in your ghostly image and experience the Memory of your own imminent death! Truly, this is the peak of summer.This month, Sara and Runa discuss PARANORMASIGHT: The Mermaid's Curse (2026), released earlier this year in February as the follow-up to previous Say it in Red Subject, PARANORMASIGHT: The Seven Mysteries of Honjo. Like its predecessor, The Mermaid's Curse uses a 360 degree camera to great effect and nicely utilizes the three-dimensional space around the player as you explore its world. We begin this horror mystery visual novel with a diving mini-game, and a dangerously enjoyable one at that, as we meet our protagonist - Yuza Minakuchi. Yuza has returned to the fictional island of Kameshima, off the coast of Ise, after a long absence away on the mainland. Five years ago, his parents died and he nearly drowned in a terrible accident out at sea. He was saved, or at least so he claims, by a Mermaid, and now he's enlisted the help of his best friend Azami to find a Mermaid no matter what. Meanwhile, a pair of investigators working with the Tokyo Metropolitan Police in the Paranormal Affairs division arrives in the region to quell an ancient curse, right after they solve the mystery behind a string of mysterious skeletons that have washed up from the sea floor. At the same time, a fantasy author from abroad has enlisted the help of his distant relative, a young psychic, to search for clues about mermaids and the secrets of immortality on Kameshima. Their paths all tangle together around one strange girl, Sato, who arrived on Kameshima some months ago and seems to have an odd connection to Mermaids, the Curse of Raging Waves, and perhaps even the Tale of the Heike.A warning for listeners: While you don't need to listen to our previous Paranormasight episode to follow along here, we will drop a few spoilers for the first game throughout our discussion. Please be advised and plan accordingly.As always, if you enjoy our podcast please give us a rating and write a review wherever you listen, and if you'd like to hear even more Say it in Red, you can find our rich backlog of bonus episodes on patreon at patreon.com/sayitinred! Check it out now to hear our recent episode in which Sara tells Runa all about the lads of LADS (Love and Deepspace), or go back a bit further to hear Runa tell Sara about storytelling in trading card games like Pokemon, Yu-Gi-Oh, and Magic the Gathering!

Why do we crave some foods the more often we eat them? Are we addicted?Dr. Dana Small's research suggests that food craving reaches far beyond taste or willpower, and that “addiction” isn't a helpful descriptor. Every time we eat, unconscious signals from the body teach the brain which foods deliver useful nutrients, and train us to want more of those. In other words, we don't eat crave foods because they taste good; foods taste good because our body craves them.Understanding that means we can rethink overeating. It's not a matter of addiction or self-control; it's our body behaving the way nature intended it to, but in the setting of foods not found in the wild, like those high in both fat and carbohydrates. But we may also be able to train our brain away from these cravings.Free course: Improve your metabolic healthGet our free email course on how glucose, nutrition, exercise, sleep, and measurement can help you build habits that support better energy and long-term health: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://levels.link/wnl⁠What We CoverTaste vs. flavor, pleasure, motivation, and food rewardHow gut nutrient signals teach the brain which foods to seekWhy fat + carbs produce an unusually strong reward responseWhat eight weeks of high-fat, high-sugar snacks did to the brainHow GLP-1s may cut food wanting while preserving pleasure

What separates tomorrow's breakout consumer brands from everything else? Taste, judgment and the conviction to act. Morrison Seager Founder & CEO Rogers Healy shares his unconventional approach to consumer investing. From backing Mizzen+Main before venture became his focus to building a portfolio across food, beverage and apparel. He explains why an investable founder can be harder to find than a great idea, why gut instinct still matters in an increasingly data-driven world, and how his deal-by-deal model lets conviction drive investment decisions. For corporate innovation leaders, it's a provocative reminder that finding breakout growth requires looking beyond everything that could go wrong and recognizing why something might actually work.

What if recovery was never meant to be a finish line?Mallary Tenore Tarpley spent over twenty years writing and rewriting the story that became Slip: Life in the Middle of Eating Disorder Recovery, and what she landed on upends how we're taught to think about healing. She calls it the middle place: the space between acutely sick and fully recovered where most people actually live, and where almost no one gives them permission to stay.Mallary story starts at eight years old, when her mother died of metastatic breast cancer. In the wreckage of that loss, an idea took root that if she could keep her body the same size it was when her mother was alive, she could stop time and stay close to her. That thought, formed by a grieving child in a health class learning about good foods and bad foods, spiraled into anorexia and five hospitalizations at Boston Children's, followed by seventeen months in residential treatment. It is a reminder that eating disorders are rarely about vanity. They're about control, grief, and a body trying to speak what a person cannot yet say out loud.We talk about why Mallary built her memoir as reported journalism as much as personal narrative, weaving in the voices of 700 survey respondents and 175 interview subjects specifically because she didn't want her story, as a thin, white, middle class woman, to stand in as the only face of this disease. We get into what it was like reading her own childhood journals, calorie counts and self-loathing tucked inside Winnie the Pooh covers, and the moment she caught herself slipping back into old behaviors just from transcribing them. We talk about the staggering gap in medical training, the history of women being excluded from clinical trials, and how diet culture, GLP-1 drugs, and AI beauty filters are reshaping an old danger into something that feels newly urgent. And we talk about what it means to write an ending that refuses a tidy bow, because pretending to be fully healed would have made her, in her words, an unreliable narrator.If you've ever felt like you were failing at recovery because you weren't finished with it, this conversation is for you.Share this conversation with someone who needs permission to be in progress instead of fixed.The National Alliance for Eating Disorders helpline is 866-662-1235, open 9:00am–7:00pm EST Monday–Friday.

Join me for Taste of TudorCon, a free online preview of this year's conference, on August 29th: https://tudorcon.englandcast.com/tasteoftudorcon2026/ A skilled craftsman in early Tudor London earned sixpence for a day's work. I've been staring at that number for ages, because on its own it tells you nothing. Sixpence out of what? Buys what? Compared to whom?So I went digging, and it turns out if you follow that one coin up and down the Tudor social ladder you end up seeing the whole society. The housemaid on a pound a year. The brewer on ten. The king who spent thirty-six thousand pounds on an eighteen-day party in a field. We get into the coins themselves, which have the best names in the world, including the gold angel that doubled as medicine. We climb from the bottom of the ladder to the top. We work out what sixpence would actually buy you at a market stall. And then we get to 1544, when Henry VIII started secretly putting less silver in the coins, and everybody's wages stopped working.

What if everything you believe about why you are 'you' is wrong? My guest today has spent his career studying the brain at Johns Hopkins — and a few years ago, he was told he had six to twelve months to live. Today, we're talking about what he's learned on both sides of that line. We're going to get into why 'nature versus nurture' is, in his words, scientifically lazy — and what's actually shaping your personality, your preferences, even who you're attracted to. We're going to talk about a discovery about sexual sensation in the body that's only a few years old. And we're going to talk about what facing death taught him about time, gratitude, and identity that no textbook ever could.

“Light is sown for the righteous, and gladness for the upright in heart. Rejoice in the Lord” (Ps 97:11-12).

Welcome to The Daily. Go ahead and pick up your 1 Peter Scripture Journal now. Our text today is 1 Peter 2:1-3: So put away all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander. Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation— if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good. — 1 Peter 2:1-3 One of the first signs of a healthy baby is hunger. No one has to teach a newborn to crave milk. Healthy babies instinctively desire what gives them life and helps them grow. Peter picks up that image as he begins the second chapter of his letter. He has just reminded believers that they have been born again through the living and enduring Word of God. Now he moves from birth to nourishment. New life is only the beginning. God intends for his children to grow. But Peter says something profound before he ever mentions milk. "Put away all malice and all deceit and hypocrisy and envy and all slander." At first, the connection seems strange. What do malice, deception, hypocrisy, jealousy, and slander have to do with spiritual growth? More than we realize. Appetite is shaped by what we consume. Anyone who overindulges in junk food eventually loses their appetite for what nourishes them. The same thing happens spiritually. Sin, like these five here, dulls our hunger for God. It numbs our taste for truth and slowly replaces our desire for what gives life with cravings for things that cannot satisfy. Most believers do not wake up one morning and decide they no longer want God. Their appetite simply changes. They fill up on lesser things. They feed on distraction, entertainment, resentment, comparison, success, approval, or the endless noise of the world until the desire for God's Word begins to fade. Peter invites us to return to a healthier appetite. "Like newborn infants, long for the pure spiritual milk, that by it you may grow up into salvation." The same Word that brought you to life is the Word God uses to mature you. It nourishes faith, renews the mind, strengthens conviction, and steadies the soul. We do not outgrow our need for God's truth any more than a child outgrows the need for food. Yet Peter ends with an assumption: "If indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good." He borrows language from Psalm 34, inviting believers to remember what first drew them to Christ. Before there was a deep craving, there was a first taste of his grace. They discovered that the Lord was not harsh, distant, or indifferent. He was good. And tasting his goodness awakened a hunger for more. Perhaps that is why some believers stop growing. It is not that God has stopped feeding them. It is that they have forgotten how satisfying he truly is. If you have lost your appetite for God, do not settle for spiritual starvation. Return to the One who alone can satisfy. Taste the goodness of the Lord again. The problem may not be that God has become less desirable. It may be that you have filled up on lesser things. Stop that and feed on the things of God. DO THIS: Take an honest inventory of what has been shaping your appetite. What are you consuming each day that is either increasing or diminishing your desire for God? Ask the Lord to help you put away whatever dulls your hunger for Him. ASK THIS: What "lesser things" have been competing for my spiritual appetite? When was the last time I truly delighted in God's Word? What practical step can I take this week to cultivate a deeper hunger for God? PRAY THIS: Father, forgive me for filling my life with things that leave my soul empty. Restore my hunger for Your Word and renew my desire for You. Help me taste again Your goodness and grow into the person You are calling me to be. Amen. PLAY THIS: "Speak, O Lord"

Anika sat down with Leysan Zigangirova to explore how marketing leadership must evolve as artificial intelligence makes content creation almost free. The conversation revealed a crucial truth: AI cannot replace human judgment, strategic risk-taking, or deep audience insight. Leysan's 15-plus-year background spanning Procter & Gamble, Philip Morris, Microsoft, Nebius, and now Async offered practical insights into transitioning from consumer marketing to tech startups, rebranding major products, and keeping human taste at the center of innovation.   In This Episode The early career roots in consumer market intelligence at P&G and managing the Marlboro Gold original rebrand Shifting from fast-moving consumer goods to enterprise tech at Microsoft Building Yandex Cloud from scratch and leading the visual identity and brand name creation for Nebius Taking a 15-country sabbatical around the world and how it built mental agility for the AI era Why marketing must share a revenue KPI with sales to eliminate department silos The danger of waiting for perfect data versus making bold, human-driven decisions Why Async shifted from Podcastle to focus on asynchronous creativity and editing co-creation The growing importance of human taste as a competitive advantage against AI-generated "slop"   Timestamps 04:11 — Managing the Marlboro Lights rebrand to Marlboro Gold and navigating ethical challenges within restricted tobacco markets. 07:13 — Transitioning into the technology sector at Microsoft and working on the Azure cloud rollout. 08:58 — Building Yandex Cloud from scratch and co-founding the brand identity for Nebius, leading to $700 million in strategic financing. 10:33 — Taking a life-changing 15-country global sabbatical and using that mental agility to adapt to fast-paced AI environments. 16:11 — Unifying metrics: Why marketing and sales must share revenue KPIs to build trust and eliminate departmental silos. 18:37 — Navigating uncertainty: The danger of waiting for complete data and why human risk-taking separates leaders from AI. 21:30 — Balancing AI automation with human judgment, resource reality, and operational limitations. 23:48 — The evolution of Async: Transitioning from Podcastle to an AI-native editing co-pilot for asynchronous creativity. 25:44 — The value of human taste: Why subjective perspective and authentic quality serve as the ultimate competitive defense against AI "slop". 31:47 — Advice for modern founders: Starting with core user conversations and anchoring strategy in founder passion.   Key Insights & Takeaways   Insight 1: AI Lacks Resource Reality and Risk-Taking   While AI optimizes productivity and text/image generation, it cannot comprehend internal team dynamics, operational capabilities, or resource realities. Furthermore, AI avoids risk, whereas human leadership relies on making bold decisions with incomplete data.   Insight 2: Marketing Must Share Revenue KPIs   Treating marketing purely as a brand equity exercise builds a wall between departments. When marketing shares a revenue KPI with sales, data tracking improves, inter-departmental hostility dissolves, and both teams work cohesively.   Insight 3: Speed Trumps Perfect Data in Fast-Moving Markets   Planning cycles have shrunk from annual strategies down to monthly or bi-weekly alignments. Waiting for complete data causes organizations to miss their window; modern leaders must embrace calculated risks and navigate blind spots faster than competitors.   Insight 4: Human Taste is the Ultimate Competitive Advantage   As AI-generated content increases, the internet is flooded with low-quality "slop". True market distinction stems from human taste, subjective perspective, and genuine emotional connections that technology cannot replicate.   Insight 5: Rebranding Requires a Deep Structural Pivot   A successful rebrand goes far beyond semantics. When Podcastle evolved into Async, it mirrored a complete structural shift toward asynchronous video creation, ensuring the brand identity aligned directly with evolving user needs and product reality.   Resources & Links Mentioned Async (formerly Podcastle)  Nebius Microsoft Azure   About Leysan Zigangirova Leysan Zigangirova is a seasoned marketing leader with over 15 years of experience scaling global brands. Starting her career in consumer and market intelligence at Procter & Gamble and managing iconic portfolios at Philip Morris, she later transitioned into technology. She spent four years at Microsoft, helped build Yandex Cloud from scratch as a founding member, created the brand identity for Nebius—which attracted $700 million in financing—and traveled across 15 countries on a life-changing sabbatical. Today, she serves as the Chief Marketing Officer at Async, helping creators and teams embrace asynchronous video creation and AI-driven editing.   Connect with Leysan LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lzigangirova/ Website:  https://async.com Like the show?

The TWiST AI Basics series is made possible by Google Cloud! Build context-aware AI workflows using DeepMind models and orchestration tools with Google for Startups' new Startup technical guide on generative media. Get the guide here: https://goo.gle/technical_guide Astrocade is building super-intelligence for the interactive world. Build the future of fun: https://www.astrocade.com/careers Today's show: *Making a video game once required a studio, an engine, and a team of five or more people working for six months. But with Astrocade, users just describe the game they'd like to play and share, and an AI assembles it from minutes, ready to publish to a TikTok-style feed. Still, founder and CEO Amir Sadeghian tell us AI can't actually build a great game all on its own. The magic isn't just in the automation, but the user's creativity and good taste. Amir demos how the app turns simple sentences and descriptions into full video games, explains why frontier models still regress to the mean rather than pushing boundaries, and unpacks how the game's human-in-the-loop workflow can turn even generic ideas into something original and fun.
