Kevin Jeung (Noma / Noma Projects) calls in from LA to talk about Noma's upcoming Los Angeles pop-up and what it changes when you suddenly have citrus, avocados, and California seasonality on the table. Kevin walks through how the team is doing early-stage R&D—ingredient exploration, fermentation setup, and testing techniques for hard problems like cactus slime and variable produce.Dave detours into Denmark: Christmas market roast pork sandwiches, crackling technique, and what cut the Danes actually use (loin vs belly vs skin-on neck). They also get into Noma Projects curiosities like peach tree sap (rehydrated for a tendon-like chew), plus a few practical bar/kitchen notes: a clarified spec for the Brandy Savage cranberry cordial build, and a quick take on stabilizing acidic whipped cream (gel/fluid-gel approach vs citric acid straight into dairy). Closing beat: Kevin's Turkey method for the Noma team—compound butter under the skin, and mayo outside for browning/crisping. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Tim reflects on the year that was 2025: a montage of Epstein files, LA fires, foreign wars, Ai slop, political violence, and gross comfort.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for December 27, 2025 is: apropos • ap-ruh-POH • preposition Apropos is used as a preposition to mean "with regard to." It is frequently used in the phrase "apropos of." // Sean interrupted our conversation about politics and, apropos of nothing, asked who we thought would win the basketball game. As an adjective, apropos describes something that is suitable or appropriate, as in "an apropos nickname." See the entry > Examples: "Once, at the height of COVID, I dropped off a book at the home of Werner Herzog. I was an editor at the time and was trying to assign him a review, so I drove up to his gate in Laurel Canyon, and we had the briefest of masked conversations. Within 30 seconds, it turned strange. 'Do you have a dog? A little dog?' he asked me, staring out at the hills of Los Angeles, apropos of nothing. He didn't wait for an answer. 'Then be careful of the coyotes,' Herzog said." — Gal Beckerman, The Atlantic, 8 Jan. 2025 Did you know? Apropos wears its ancestry like a badge—or perhaps more fittingly a beret. From the French phrase à propos, meaning "to the purpose," the word's emphasis lands on its last syllable, which ends in a silent "s": ap-ruh-POH. Apropos typically functions as an adjective describing what is suitable or appropriate ("an apropos comment"), or as a preposition (with or without of) meaning "with regard to," as in "apropos (of) the decision, implementation will take some time." The phrase "apropos of nothing" is used to signal that what follows does not relate to any previous topic.

Welcome to The Reel Schmooze with ToI film reviewer Jordan Hoffman and host Amanda Borschel-Dan, where we bring you all the entertainment news and film reviews a Jew can use. This week, we hear amazing Jangles (entertainment news a Jew can use) from Hoffman, including the contentious NY launch of "Marty Supreme" and the inside scoop into actor Jack Black's superwoman of a mother. We hear a full-throated recommendation from Borschel-Dan for a multi-media performance she caught that is touring Israel. Based on journalist and author Matti Friedman's "Who By Fire: Leonard Cohen in the Sinai," the Beit Avichai production will announce its schedule of future shows in April. The pair hunker down to review the Schmoovie of the week, "The Sure Thing," a 1985 film of teen love -- and lust. Rob Reiner's second directorial outing gets mixed reviews from our hosts. Hear who gave "The Sure Thing" a middling "meh" and who gave it our top mark of "not bad" on this week's The Reel Schmooze. The Reel Schmooze is produced by the PodWaves and can be found wherever you get your podcasts.

We're joined by Stefanie Powers for a layered conversation that spans Hollywood's golden-era traditions, cultural change, and a life shaped by both stardom and purpose.For those in the Los Angeles area, Stefanie, with co-star Patrick Wayne, will be performing 'Love Letters' at the El Portal Theatre in North Hollywood as a benefit for the William Holden Wildlife Foundation on January 11, 2026!Stefanie reflects on growing up alongside future screen legends at Hollywood High School, and how her lifelong love of animals began at home, thanks to a stepfather who raised thoroughbreds and kept exotic animals. Her first professional job came at age 15 when she was cast in the film West Side Story, where the young cast prepared by listening to recordings of real New York street kids to capture authentic rhythms and speech patterns. However, Stefanie's tender age required too many work time restrictions as the production's intensity ramped up and her part was re-cast. She describes old school studio system rigors, where actors “sold their lives” for a seven-year contract. Restrictive, yes, but also an entertainment education that taught singing, dancing, acting, and stage presence, alongside publicity essentials.Still under contract with Columbia, she was loaned out to United Artists to make McLintock! and Stefanie shares memories of working with John, Michael and Patrick Wayne.The legendary show biz tales are boundless. Did you know that Natalie Wood, Jill St. John and Stephanie were all in the same childhood dance class? All would, one way or another, be married to Robert Wagner. And, true story: During a painful divorce, Stefanie was offered solace at Roddy McDowell's house by fellow travelers, Elizabeth Taylor and Ava Gardner.She also recounts the party at Dean Martin's home where she danced the night away with Bobby Kennedy Sr. as he encouraged her to use her Spanish language skills to become more civically involved with Latino communities here at home.She also speaks candidly about her complex romantic relationship with William Holden, whose influence on her life is ongoing. In his name, she has created The William Holden Wildlife Foundation in Kenya where local youth learn biodiversity, species conservation and alternatives to habitat destruction for humans and wildlife.And of course, we talk Hart To Hart where Stefanie starred with Robert Wagner. She was actually on her way to Broadway when a newspaper strike halted her production of Cyrano, and freed her to take a pilot that would change her life!In current media --Fritz: (joined by his daughter Carly!)

It’s a sleepy Saturday following a torrential rainstorm all the way through Christmas week. And here in SoCal the rain has passed — for now. Do you have a leak? Today’s first caller lives in a house built in 1935; it’s a Monterey colonial with a California basement, which means just enough space to service the gravity furnace. It doesn't have a sump pump installed, and when it rains, he gets about 2 inches of rain down there. He’s wondering if he should be concerned about the lack of a sump pump following the recent rains. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Whether built in the 1830s or 1930s, Dean is a massive fan of California design style, including the beautiful Adobe homes. Our next caller phoned all the way from Tampa, Florida, and wants Dean’s opinion on the proper maintenance of his new 8x10 Tuff Shed from Home Depot. Another caller has a double-wide mobile home from the 1970s with a metal roof that’s leaking over his car port, and he’s wondering how best to seal up that roof leak. Listener Cindy wants Dean’s recommendations on the right mixture for alleviating mold in the tile grout. Dean says mold is kind of a wimp! And our final caller was wondering how best to choose a legitimate duct-cleaning service. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

This holiday week, we're bringing you two joyful stories from 2025.  Reena Esmail's childhood in Los Angeles had two soundtracks: the Western classical music her parents loved, and the old, scratchy Bollywood tapes her paternal grandparents would play over and over. Those multicultural influences shaped what would become the driving question of her work: how do you invite people from different cultures onto the same stage to build a relationship and create music together? Composing is how Esmail has made her mark — by putting Western classical musicians in conversation with Indian artists, building bridges between violinists and sitar players, tabla drummers and western singers. She has also composed with unhoused singers from Skid Row, and her music has been performed by major orchestras and choirs all over the world. In May, as part of our series on California composers, host Sasha Khokha brought us this profile of Esmail. Artists are often the people in our communities who bring people together in ways that are creative, spontaneous, and surprising. That's true in the East Bay neighborhood of Point Richmond, where a local artist has created dozens of miniature fairy houses brimming with the personality of their imaginary inhabitants. In this story from April, Pauline Bartolone set out to explore these hidden treasures, and meet the person who created them. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices

Welcome to #Firegate, where Los Angeles city leadership tried to scrub their own after-action report to hide their catastrophic failures during the Palisades Fire. The LA Times just exposed deliberate deletions designed to shield Mayor Bass, the fire department, and Governor Newsom from accountability—including removing references to the January 1st fire that crews were ordered to leave smoldering, only to reignite six days later and kill 12 people while destroying thousands of homes. The battalion chief who wrote the original report? He refused to sign the cooked version, calling it "highly unprofessional." Sections titled "failures" got renamed "primary challenges," and language about policy violations just vanished. Mayor Bass was in Ghana while her city prepared to burn, firefighters sat idle for over an hour during the blaze, and now they're forming "crisis management work groups" to minimize liability. Is anyone shocked that California leadership is more interested in covering their tracks than protecting taxpayers? When will voters demand actual accountability instead of political spin? Hit subscribe, smash that like button, and share this with everyone who's tired of government corruption masquerading as transparency.

Adrian Holmes joins Nerdtropolis Mayor Sean Tajipour on Reel Insights to talk about Bel-Air, the weight of stepping into Uncle Phil's shoes, and what it means for the series as it heads toward the end.Holmes breaks down how he approached Philip Banks as a real, layered man, balancing authority with vulnerability while still honoring the character fans grew up with. He also opens up about why this version of Bel-Air hit people so hard, especially as it tackled family, identity, and belonging in a modern Los Angeles lens.The conversation digs into legacy, including what Phil wants for Will and Carlton and why “letting them fly” matters as the story reaches its final stretch. Holmes also talks about the creative swing the show took, the writers' being in tune with the culture, and how the series found its own voice rather than chasing nostalgia.We also bounce into a fun detour on Holmes' other work, including Star Trek: Strange New Worlds, plus a quick dream chat about what kind of role he'd want if he ever jumped into something like a Hot Wheels movie.Bel-Air stars Jabari Banks, Adrian Holmes, Cassandra Freeman, Coco Jones, Olly Sholotan, Akira Akbar, and Jimmy Akingbola.Visit Nerdtropolis.comhttps://www.Facebook.com/nerdtropolishttps://Instagram.com/nerdtropolishttps://Twitter.com/nerdtropolis

Comme toujours, nous commencerons notre émission par une discussion sur l'actualité. Nous parlerons tout d'abord du choix surprenant de The Economist de nommer la Syrie pays de l'année. Notre deuxième sujet de discussion sera les dépenses de Noël dans l'Union européenne, qui devraient augmenter cette année. Malheureusement, cette augmentation n'est pas due à l'exubérance des fêtes de fin d'année, mais à l'inflation et au renforcement des réglementations en matière de sécurité des jouets. Notre section scientifique sera consacrée à une étude qui révèle que de nombreuses personnes utilisent l'IA pour avoir un soutien émotionnel et des interactions sociales. Et nous terminerons la première partie de notre émission d'aujourd'hui en rendant hommage à Rob Reiner, réalisateur et acteur de renom, qui a été assassiné dans sa maison de Los Angeles aux côtés de sa femme, Michele Singer Reiner.   Le reste de l'émission d'aujourd'hui sera consacré à la langue et à la culture françaises. Notre point de grammaire de la semaine sera : Adjectives ending in "eu", Plural nouns and Adjective agreement, Adjectives related to colors. Nous parlerons du détournement de la chanson d'Eddy Mitchell « Couleur menthe à l'eau » et d'autres chansons françaises célèbres sur le thème des couleurs. Nous terminerons avec l'expression de la semaine: En connaître un rayon. Nous verrons que la question de la préservation du patrimoine français est très sensible depuis le casse du Louvre. La France sera-t-elle en mesure de sauver tout son patrimoine? - The Economist désigne le pays de l'année - Selon des statistiques européennes, les dépenses pour les achats de Noël sont en augmentation - Selon une étude, de nombreuses personnes utilisent l'IA comme soutien psychologique - Hollywood pleure la mort de Rob Reiner et célèbre son héritage - Eddy Mitchell condamne le détournement de sa chanson « Couleur menthe à l'eau » - La difficile préservation du patrimoine français

Synopsis:  Step into the studio of ceramicist Akinsanya Kambon, where ancient traditions meet revolutionary fervor: here, stunning works born from earthy materials recount tales of resistance, redemption, and hope across generations and geography.Make a tax deductible YEAR END DONATION and become a member go to LauraFlanders.org/donate. This show is made possible by you! Description [original release date September 2025]: With each glimmering piece he creates, artist Akinsanya Kambon brings suppressed histories of both colonization and liberation to life. His ceramic works depict struggle and survival across the African diaspora, and stepping into his studio is a spiritual experience, as Laura Flanders recently discovered. Kambon was a member of the Sacramento chapter of the Black Panther Party where he worked on the layout and illustration of the party's famous paper and became lieutenant for culture, illustrating among other things the party's ten point plan and works for young people. In 2023, he won the prestigious Mohn Award — the top prize given by the Hammer Museum for his participation in their biennial “Made in LA” show, titled Acts of Living. His one-man show opened in Beverly Hills at Marc Selwyn Fine Art in April 2025. An exhibition of his work will open at the New York Sculpture Center in May 2026. In this unique conversation, Flanders asks Kambon about his own survival stories, including his polio diagnosis, getting drafted into the Vietnam War, and his year on death row. Kambon was arrested in connection with the killing of a police officer and was later acquitted from that high-profile Oak Park Four case. Join Flanders and Kambon as they discuss how art keeps spirits alive, and catch Flanders' commentary on today's fight to control our nation's stories.“Art educates the masses of people. Not Black or white or Asian, this educates the masses of young people to our struggle, to how long they're struggling and how it's connected.” - Akinsanya Kambon“I thought of myself as an artist even when I was a child, because art was therapy for me . . . I used to always seem like I would always take the side of the underdog.” - Akinsanya KambonGuest:  Akinsanya Kambon, Artist, Former Marine, Black Panther & Art ProfessorSpecial thanks: Cynthia Wornham, Annie Philbin, Marc Selwyn Fine Art  Additional Credits:Additional Crew:  Marco Amador, Producciones Cimarrón Clips from the documentary short- "Akinsanya Kambon The Hero Avenges," Produced by The Hammer Museum;  Directed by Gabriel Noguez and Sean Rowry. Full Conversation Release: While our weekly shows are edited to time for broadcast on Public TV and community radio, we offer to our members and podcast subscribers the full uncut conversation.

This episode originally aired on March 12, 2025. Hollywood taught us to be afraid of a super powerful artificial intelligence that will one day conquer humanity. So not surprisingly, many screenwriters and actors are very skeptical of AI, and concerns about AI were central to the Hollywood labor strikes in 2023. But animators may actually be the most at risk of losing their jobs to AI. In this episode, we’ll talk about why the first AI generated movies you will see will likely be animated, and what it means for the people who make them, and for everyone else in Hollywood.

La prima notizia riguarda una scelta sorprendente del The Economist, che ha nominato la Siria paese dell'anno. La seconda notizia è dedicata alla spesa natalizia nell'Unione Europea, che quest'anno è destinata ad aumentare. Purtroppo, l'aumento non è dovuto a un clima di particolare entusiasmo festivo, ma all'inflazione e a norme più severe sulla sicurezza dei giocattoli. La nostra sezione scientifica è dedicata a uno studio che rivela come molte persone utilizzino l'intelligenza artificiale per il supporto emotivo e l'interazione sociale. Concluderemo la prima parte del programma rendendo omaggio a Rob Reiner, celebre regista e attore, assassinato nella sua casa di Los Angeles insieme alla moglie, Michele Singer Reiner.   La seconda parte della puntata è dedicata alla lingua e alla cultura italiana. L'argomento grammaticale di oggi è Adverbial Phrases. Ne troverete diversi esempi nel dialogo dedicato ai risultati dell'analisi annuale sulla qualità della vita in Italia, pubblicata dal quotidiano economico-finanziario Il Sole 24 Ore. Nel finale ci soffermeremo sull'espressione idiomatica di oggi: Non fare una piega. Nel dialogo in cui la useremo si parla della decisione del Comune di Verona di introdurre un biglietto da 12 euro per entrare nel cortile che rievoca la storia d'amore tra Romeo e Giulietta, raccontata da Shakespeare. Un prezzo alto, proprio nel periodo più affollato dell'anno, che non ha mancato di creare discussioni. - The Economist nomina il Paese dell'anno - Le statistiche europee sugli acquisti natalizi mostrano un aumento della spesa in questa stagione - Uno studio rileva che molte persone utilizzano l'IA come supporto emotivo ,/li> - Hollywood piange la morte di Rob Reiner e celebra la sua eredità - Dove si vive meglio in Italia nel 2025 - Il prezzo del cortile di Giulietta fa discutere Verona

Plus d'1,6 million d'adolescentes accouchent chaque année en Amérique latine, une toutes les 20 secondes. L'Équateur est durement touché par ce phénomène, avec 88 accouchements de mineures par jour. La vice-présidente María José Pinto a demandé au président Noboa d'être chargée de réduire le phénomène des grossesses chez les jeunes filles et les adolescentes.   La jeune Afroéquatorienne Susana Sánchez a eu sa fille à 16 ans et son fils peu après. Elle vit aujourd'hui tranquillement à Nuevo Rocafuerte, mais n'oublie pas une enfance difficile après la mort de sa mère.  “J'avais 15 ans quand j'ai connu le père de ma fille. C'était une porte de sortie", explique-t-elle. Ce schéma se répète dans les régions d'Amazonie. “Les chiffres sont terrifiants. 4 gamines entre 10 et 14 ans accouchent chaque jour en Équateur et 84 adolescentes entre 14 et 19 ans”, s'inquiète la vice-présidente María José Pinto. C'est le reportage de notre correspondant en Équateur, Eric Samson, dans la région amazonienne de Nuevo Rocafuerte, tout près de la frontière péruvienne. Au Mexique, l'essor de la lucha extrema Au Mexique, berceau de la lucha libre, sorte de catch théâtral et particulièrement apprécié des Mexicains, une nouvelle déclinaison de ce sport est apparue dans les zones défavorisées des alentours de Mexico, la lucha extrema, une forme ultraviolente de lucha libre, où la traditionnelle « fausse » bagarre est remplacée par de vrais coups. Plus le sang coule, plus le spectacle est réussi. Un reportage de Marine Lebègue, correspondante de RFI à Mexico. Nicolás Maduro libère 99 prisonniers vénézuéliens Au Venezuela, 99 personnes emprisonnées après la présidentielle de 2024 ont été libérées. Le média vénézuélien d'opposition El Nacional publie sur son site la liste des prisonniers libérés déjà identifiés : il en compte 33. Parmi eux, des hommes, des femmes et des adolescents.  Le quotidien colombien El Espectador rappelle le contexte de leur incarcération : leur lien présumé avec les manifestations de 2024. Après la réélection controversée de Nicolás Maduro, les opposants au président réélu évoquaient des fraudes. À ce moment-là, plus de 2400 personnes avaient été arrêtées par le régime. De nombreux médias font le lien entre ces libérations et les tensions avec les États-Unis. L'édition sud-américaine du quotidien El Pais souligne "un geste calculé du régime pour alléger la pression, sans pour autant manifester de faiblesse ni de magnanimité excessive".  Le média nuance donc l'ampleur de ces libérations et rappelle que près de 1000 prisonniers vénézuéliens sont toujours incarcérés. El Pais l'assure, cette annonce n'est pas le signe d'une politique de détente avec l'opposition. C'est même le contraire, "la pression de Washington fournit au gouvernement Maduro des arguments supplémentaires pour radicaliser sa politique de répression des opposants". Frappes de Washington contre l'État islamique au Nigéria  Le New York Times rappelle qu'en novembre dernier, le président américain avait déjà menacé l'organisation terroriste de frappes si elle ne cessait pas les attaques sur les chrétiens nigérians. Donald Trump n'avait alors pas précisé à quelles attaques il faisait référence, selon le quotidien new-yorkais. Le média AXIOS, lui, revient sur les violences au Nigéria, le pays le plus peuplé d'Afrique où plus de 12 000 personnes ont été tuées par divers groupes cette année. Le média en ligne POLITICO rappelle que le Nigeria a déjà déclaré que les chrétiens n'étaient pas persécutés dans le pays et cite un chercheur de l'Institut d'études de sécurité Afrique : « La crise est bien plus complexe qu'une simple analyse religieuse ne le laisse entendre. » En Californie, des fêtes de Noël cauchemardesques La Californie, déjà marquée par des incendies, des pluies et des vents forts ces derniers mois, est touchée depuis quelques jours par des pluies torrentielles. Signe de la gravité de l'évènement, l'état d'urgence a été décrété par le gouverneur Gavin Newsom. Une image dans le Los Angeles Times permet de comprendre l'ampleur des pluies. On y voit Misty Cheng, une comptable de 49 ans dans sa cuisine à Wrightwood, au nord de Los Angeles. Le regard triste, elle se tient accroupie sur une gigantesque coulée de boue, qui a envahi sa maison, une maison qu'elle était en train de rénover. L'intérieur est complètement recouvert par un amas de pierres et de terre, on voit à peine sa gazinière, le dossier d'une chaise dépasse des débris. La faute à un glissement de terrain qui s'est produit le 24 décembre dans une zone déjà ravagée par des incendies au début de l'année 2025. Le Los Angeles Times rappelle le bilan de la semaine : trois personnes sont mortes dans les inondations et les glissements de terrain en Californie. En Haïti, les marchés de Noël ont fait carton plein.  Ayibopost revient sur les évènements qui se sont tenus cette année aux Gonaïves, au Cap-Haïtien et à Anse-à-Pitre. Des marchés qui ont réuni des centaines d'exposants, d'artisans locaux et qui ont attiré beaucoup de visiteurs.  Ils étaient plus de 15 000 aux Gonaïves.   Le média haïtien rappelle que les artisans rencontrent de plus en plus de difficultés à vendre leurs produits en raison de l'absence quasi totale de touristes étrangers. Dans ce contexte, les marchés de Noël offrent un espace qui permet de renouer avec un public local et, selon les organisateurs, de susciter chez les jeunes Haïtiens l'envie de se lancer dans l'entrepreneuriat.

Carter George (Team Canada) joins host Jesse Cohen and Zach Dooley to discuss the World Juniors Championship. George also talks about the past year of his hockey career that saw him play in multiple leagues and tournaments.

The holidays are here, and Adam & Ashlee are keeping it light, loud, and hilarious. This episode is basically a Christmas living room moment—full of roasts, playful jabs, inside jokes, and the kind of marriage banter that only works when you actually love each other. They also take a second to shout out everyone who showed love in their Spotify wrapped and supported Beyond I Do all year—seriously, it means more than you know.Then they jump into a super relatable holiday question: what do you even gift someone who “already has everything”? Adam and Ashlee talk gift-giving styles, why thoughtful gifts hit deeper than expensive ones, and why “cash/gift cards” might actually be the most practical love language for some people (without the pressure and expectations
