Another special guest show and this month I'm proud to present good friend and Sydney legend DJ Dante Rivera, founder of Klubhouse and countless other Sydney events over the years. Dante was partly responsible for my exposure to Sydney clubbers. He was the first person to reach out post Covid to ask if I would play for Klubhouse. That set has resulted in me playing for multiple promoters around the city.Anyone that knows Dante knows to expect ass shaking Latin House vibes all the way and he didn't dissapoint.The first hour is all Dante so expect to find yourself tapping out percussion on the steering wheel or shuffling across the kitchen to get something out of the fridge.We go b2b for the second hour, which I will admit was a stretch for me. My Latin House is mainly European from the 00's - you can really hear the difference to Dante's authentic sounds, but that's all I have! Hopefully it doesn't spoil your enjoyment of the back nine.Anyone in the city this weekend, you can catch me a Tatler on Friday for a full takeover. Yeah baby I got the place to myself from 9pm to 3am. Whilst I love long sets I will be bringing in another friend Gary Ward to help out.Between us we'll be playing the finest house tunes the last 35 years have produced.Tracklist to follow.........Enjoy!

The former editor in chief of Tatler, Vanity Fair, The New Yorker, and the founding editor in chief of The Daily Beast talks about the changing media landscape and her recent move onto the online publishing platform Substack with her Fresh Hell diary.

In this episode of the Marketing and Distribution Podcast, host Alex Stolz is joined by Ana Maria Jipa and Malcolm Wood, co-founders of Olyn, a new digital platform aiming to redefine how independent films are released and monetized. Drawing on their backgrounds in technology, entrepreneurship, and film production, Ana and Malcolm discuss how Olyn seeks to provide filmmakers with direct-to-consumer tools — enabling them to maintain ownership, access audience data, and control the viewing experience. The conversation covers core platform functionalities, including custom landing pages, geo-blocking, revenue splits, and scarcity-based release strategies. The episode also explores broader shifts in the film industry: the growing demand for alternative distribution models, the role of audience data in decision-making, and how creators are beginning to apply startup thinking to their release strategies. Ana and Malcolm share examples of early user behavior, evolving filmmaker mindsets, and the rationale behind their business model. This conversation provides a detailed look at the evolving digital infrastructure for independent film — and how tools like Olyn could help bridge the gap between creation, monetization, and long-term audience engagement. About Ana Maria Jipa and Malcolm Wood Ana Maria Jipa is co-founder of Olyn, a media-fintech company transforming how digital content is monetized and distributed. An entrepreneur since the age of 19, Ana built her career across investment funds, public institutions, and global tech platforms—spanning San Francisco to Europe. Renowned for her expertise in product development, fintech infrastructure, and API systems, she has consistently championed equitable value exchange models that allow consumers to earn through participation. Olyn has raised Silicon Valley capital and secured strategic partnerships with global studios, positioning the company at the forefront of creator-led media distribution. Malcolm Wood is the co-founder of Olyn, a successful entrepreneur, award-winning film producer, and environmental advocate with a strong track record in market expansion and global media ventures. Recognized as one of Asia's most influential figures by Tatler, Malcolm has led multimillion-dollar projects across Media, Technology, Hospitality, and Sustainability. His film credits include A Plastic Ocean, described by Sir David Attenborough as “the most important film of our time”, The Last Glaciers, an IMAX documentary spotlighting the global climate crisis and his most recent environmental documentary with Oscar winner James Reed from my Octopus Teacher, The White Mountain. Malcolm blends business with a commitment to making a positive impact. At Olyn, Malcolm brings deep industry insight and a relentless focus on impact for global growth—reimagining film distribution to empower filmmakers with ownership, direct monetization, and freedom from gatekeepers.

In this episode, I spoke with Dafydd Jones about his latest book "Hollywood Confidential". Hollywood: Confidential is the latest collection of beautifully timed photos from bestselling society photographer Dafydd Jones. Formerly of Tatler and Vanity Fair, Jones is a serial capturer of intimate moments during high-society functions. As famous Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter puts it, when it comes to party photographers, ‘Dafydd Jones is the sniper's sniper – the best of the best.'
Welcome back to The Go To Food Podcast! Today, we're joined by the country's most famous food critic and journalist, and perhaps once the angriest man in Britain, Giles Coren. Giles has been the restaurant critic for The Times since 2002, following stints as a critic for Tatler and The Independent on Sunday. He's also hosted over 30 TV shows in both the UK and US, landing his big break in 2005 with Gordon Ramsay's F-Word.Known for never shying away from controversy, Giles has found himself at the center of numerous scandals over the years—many of which, as he reveals, have led to pay raises instead of sackings. A brilliant writer and orator, he's also made a few enemies with his notorious Twitter rants and his sensitivity to public opinion. In today's episode, for the first time ever, Giles opens up about his most memorable controversies, shares his regrets (including his greatest regret over his comments about Dawn Foster after her passing), and explains why he thinks Jonathan Nunn is the biggest "C***" in the world—though it may not be as harsh as it sounds.We also dive into his professional journey to the top of the journalism world, explore why he believes the role of food critic is nearly extinct, uncover why he had a complicated relationship with AA Gill, and hear about the most disgusting food he's ever eaten. Plus, find out how he got a famous restaurant chain shut down, his thoughts on the Notting Hill dining scene, how he discovered he had cancer, and much more.This is definitely one of our most entertaining—and possibly controversial—interviews yet.

All right, loves, welcome back to The Brave Table! It's March, the month of new beginnings, rebirth, and, let's be real—shaking things the hell up. Today, I'm asking you a question that might just crack open a part of you that's been waiting to be set free: What's alive for you? And what's burning for you?We are diving deep into the art of release—letting go of the outdated, overworked, hustle-obsessed version of ourselves and stepping into something softer, more intuitive, more… feminine. Yep, we're flipping the script on leadership, success, and how we navigate life's biggest transitions. And loves, I'm taking you behind the scenes of my own journey—how saying yes to a TEDx talk with just three weeks' prep rocked my world, how my Ayurvedic healing and biohacking obsession as a mama is expanding, and why I'm finally embracing a slower, more spacious way of being.If you've been feeling stuck, if you're craving a shift but don't know where to start, or if you just need permission to pause—this episode is for you.

Alright, Brave Table fam — buckle up, because today we are cutting through the wellness noise and getting straight to the juicy truth about your health. I'm sitting down with my girl Dr. Chiti Parikh, and this is the episode your doctor probably doesn't want you to hear. We're talking why your green smoothie obsession might actually be bloating you, how your stress, your schedule, and even your thoughts are literally toxifying your body, and why you NEED to detox (but not in the bougie spa way — think ancient science meets modern life).Dr. Chiti's got degrees for days — MD, functional medicine, Ayurveda, acupuncture — but what I love most? She's not about that elitist wellness vibe. Her clinic at Cornell is insurance-based (yes, you read that right — real integrative care that regular people can actually afford). She's here to shake up the system and show us how to brave our health — with intention. If you're tired, inflamed, bloated, or just straight-up confused by all the health noise, this one's for you.What you'll get out of this episode… Meal timing, or chrono-nutrition, could matter more to your health than what you eat.Detoxing isn't a luxury — it's giving your body space to heal.Everyday toxins — from shampoo to containers — quietly harm your health.Women need unique fasting rules — hormones change everything.Own your health — ask better questions and treat the root.To receive a free gift, email a screenshot of your 5-star review of The Brave Table to support@globalgrit.co

This week: the death of British industry In the cover piece for the magazine, Matthew Lynn argues that Britain is in danger of entering a ‘zero-industrial society'. The country that gave the world the Industrial Revolution has presided over a steep decline in British manufacturing. He argues there are serious consequences: foreign ownership, poorer societies, a lack of innovation, and even national security concerns. Why has this happened? Who is to blame? And could Labour turn it around? Matthew joined the podcast, alongside the head of the Trades Union Congress (TUC), Paul Nowak. (1:05) Next: the Pope takes on President Trump The Pope has nominated Cardinal Robert McElroy to be the new Archbishop of Washington. Damian Thompson writes that on the face of it, this might sound like a routine appointment, but the reality is that this is retaliation against the Trump administration. for the nomination of an arch-MAGA loyalist, and uncompromising Catholic, as the new ambassador to the Holy See. Subsequently, the Vatican has appointed an outspoken liberal. What does this tell us about the power of both the Papacy and the President? And how much sway does the Catholic hierarchy really have in Trump's America? Damian joined us to reveal more, alongside our deputy editor Freddy Gray, who has been in D.C. for Trump's inauguration. (19:02) And finally: what are sex parties really like? Far from being a sexy affair, sex parties are depressing, with most attendees leaving unfulfilled and rather disappointed, writes James Innes-Smith. He says that he spent more time in the kitchen at a recent party than in the bedroom. So, what makes them appealing in the first place? Are people looking for connection in all the wrong places? James joined the podcast alongside Sophia Money-Coutts, who has written about the subject for Tatler magazine. (30:35) Hosted by Lara Prendergast and William Moore. Produced by Patrick Gibbons and Oscar Edmondson.
