Podcasts about Trainspotting

“Iemand begon op zeker moment heel hard ‘Give Peace a Chance' te zingen, en een keer haakten ervaren actievoerders ook de armen in elkaar om zo verzet te plegen.” Zo beschrijft theatermaker Marte Boneschansker gebeurtenissen tijdens ‘Opstand', een indringende gebeurtenis die 50 toeschouwers per keer dwingt om te kiezen tussen meegaandheid of verzet: “Het valt mij op dat professionele kijkers, zoals journalisten, heel vaak buiten de handeling gaan staan.”In dit gesprek, de tweede aflevering van de serie De Omslag, een live opgenomen podcast vanuit TivoliVredenburg, brengen we twee stemmen samen die meer met elkaar te maken hebben dan je op het eerste gezicht zou denken. Naast Marte Bonenschansker zit Willem van Zeeland, de oud hoofdredacteur van de VPRO, die een boek schreef over hoe Nederland veranderde in de afgelopen halve eeuw. In ‘Trans Brabant Express', zoals het boek heet, wordt duidelijk hoeveel invloed er al in het oostelijk deel van Noord Brabant is uitgeoefend op de rest van het land, en zelfs de wereld.GemertZo blijkt TivoliVredenburg, van waaruit we elke laatste donderdagmiddag van de maand deze podcast opnemen, misschien wel een beetje geïnspireerd op een typisch plattelandsfenomeen: de weidedisco: “Stiekem namen we met het ontwikkelingsteam een voorbeeld aan Time Out in Gemert, een megadiscotheek met meerdere zalen op het Brabantse platteland. Zoiets moest het worden, maar dan grootstedelijk en met een breder cultureel profiel. Het zou een unieke formule worden, nergens anders ter wereld te vinden dan in Utrecht.”Maar ook de wereldcultuur werd een tijdje vanuit Brabant mogelijk gemaakt: “Weinigen zullen weten dat veel beroemde films vanuit Eindhoven gefinancierd worden. PolyGram Films drukte een stempel op de filmcultuur van de jaren negentig met films als Trainspotting, The Big Lebowski, Fargo, Notting Hill, Being John Malkovich en O Brother, Where Art Thou?.”LeiderschapTijdens het gesprek komen we ook over al dan niet bestaande verschil tussen mannelijk en vrouwelijk leiderschap. Willem van Zeeland sprak uitgebreid met een vrouwelijke hoogleraar die haar feministische leiderschapstheorie toepast op mannelijke en vrouwelijke cursisten. Marte Boneschansker vind het onderscheid tussen mannelijk en vrouwelijk leiderschap hoe dan ook vooral fictief: “Alsof ík niet 16 uur kan doorknallen als het nodig is.”Willem sprak met inspirerende optimisten, Marte Boneschansker heeft door Het Jaar van Verzet, waarin het project ‘Opstand' ontwikkeld is, een positievere kijk op de mensheid gekregen: “Wij zijn altijd met meer.”Luister daarom naar de podcast, leef het boek van Willem, en kom naar/in ‘Opstand‘.

Os 30 anos de TRAINSPOTTING e os 50 de TAXI DRIVER, na semana da estreia de TERRA VIL, que assinala os 25 anos da queda da pinte de Entre-os-Rios.

Um dos mais populares filmes sobre droga aos 30 anos. Lembro-me de ver o cartaz... achava que era de uma bandas de Brit Pop. E até faz algum sentido, se formos bem a ver.

Steeger, Goetz www.deutschlandfunk.de, Corso

Kvikmyndin Trainspotting er þrítug um þessar mundir. Hún kom fyrst í kvikmyndahús 23. febrúar 1996 og hefur síðan öðlast sess í kvikmyndasögunni og er að mörgum talin meðal bestu kvikmynda tíunda áratugarins. Myndin fjallar um vinahóp í Edinborg í Skotlandi sem er djúpt sokkinn í heróínneyslu. En Trainspotting er miklu meira en en saga af ógæfusömum vinum, eins og Dagný Hulda Erlendsdóttir komst að þegar hún spjallaði við Kevin Williamson. Hann var sá sem fyrstur gaf Trainspotting út, þá sem smásögur í menningartímariti. Hann segir að bókin og kvikmyndin hafi verið mikilvæg vopn í menningarstríði verkalýðsins í Skotlandi gegn elítunni í Bretlandi á tíunda áratugnum. Í því stríði hafi verkalýðurinn haft betur. Svo fjöllum við um sögu sjónvarpsstöðvarinnar MTV. Það bárust fregnir af því fyrir áramót að stöðin góðkunna væri að leggja upp laupana. Það er ekki alveg satt, en MTV er ekki svipur hjá sjón miðað við umfang og stöðu sem stöðin hafði eftir að hún var stofnuð árið 1981. Við ætlum að skoða sögu MTV og hvaða áhrif hún hafði á tónlistar- og kvikmyndaiðnaðinn.

Ya lo estoy deseando. Voy a ser igual que ustedes: el trabajo, la familia, el televisor grande que te cagas, la lavadora, el coche, el compact disc y el abrelatas eléctrico, buena salud, colesterol bajo, seguro dental, hipoteca, coche de estreno, ropa deportiva, maletas de marca, tres tresillos, bricolaje, programas de telebasura, comida basura, hijos, paseos por el parque, jornada de nueve a cinco, buena mano al golf, lavar el coche, jerseys elegantes, navidades en familia, planes de pensiones, exención de impuestos, e ir tirando, mirando hacia adelante, hasta el día en que te mueres."#trainspotting de #irvinewelsh en #libroclaroscuro por #elchicodelostenisrojos

Fue en febrero de 1996. Danny Boyle estrenaba Trainspotting, adaptación de la novela de Irvine Welsh. Una película que capturó el espíritu de una generación desencantada a través de Renton, Spud, Sick Boy y Begbie. La historia de unos amigos y no tan amigos viviendo el lado más peligroso de la vida en la cuidad de Edimburgo. Pero Trainspotting fue mucho más que una película: su banda sonora vendió millones, educó musicalmente a toda una generación y tendió puentes entre el punk de los 70, la new wave de los 80 y el brit-pop y la electrónica de los 90. Tal fue el éxito de esta recopilación que EMI decidió publicar esta segunda parte. Pero no estamos hablando de sobras o descartes, este segundo disco incluye canciones que inspiraron a Danny Boyle y al equipo creativo durante el proceso, temas que estuvieron en versiones tempranas del montaje pero que finalmente no encajaron en el minutaje final, y otras que simplemente compartían ese espíritu salvaje, melancólico y rebelde de la película. Hoy en Conexiones MZK hablaremos de las canciones y escucharemos una selección de ambos volúmenes. Dirige Manuel Pinazo

Prince Andrew's decision to host a party for Ghislaine Maxwell at Sandringham—where sex drugs like poppers were reportedly found—reads less like royal history and more like a bad dark comedy. The idea of a Queen's residence being turned into something resembling a low-rent Sopranos episode is almost surreal. The whole scene feels like parody: the Duke of York, standing beneath portraits of British monarchs, presiding over a soirée that sounds like Downton Abbey crashing headfirst into Trainspotting. It's especially grotesque given Epstein's reputation for avoiding drugs himself—he didn't need them, he used them on others. The thought of those same tools of control and exploitation making their way into a royal estate is equal parts absurd and revolting.What makes it worse is the total lack of accountability. The Palace still tries to frame these scandals as “private matters,” as though international sex trafficking and narcotics at royal residences can be brushed under the Windsor rug. Every new revelation cements Andrew as a man incapable of understanding—or even pretending to care about—the damage he's done to the Crown's image. Once considered a symbol of British decorum, Sandringham now sits as a monument to how far the monarchy has fallen, its history tainted by the stench of scandal and the arrogance of a prince who believed himself untouchable. In the end, Prince Andrew didn't just disgrace himself—he made royal scandal feel like a recurring sketch in a show that refuses to end.to contact me:source:Sex drugs 'found at party' disgraced Andrew hosted for Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell in Sandringham, new Royal book claims | Daily Mail Online

CineCouch - 096 - Trainspotting

Jay GlennieTake a walk with me down Fascination Street as I get to know author Jay Glennie. Jay is the author of MANY, MANY large format books covering the making of certain films. In this episode, Jay and I chat about how he came to this very specific niche writing. Jay has written several books on the behind the scenes and making of some of the greatest films in history. We begin with his goal to interview British Oscar winners, and what he intended to do with those interviews and notes. Then we jump into how he turned his passion into a real job. Jay has written books on Raging Bull, The Deer Hunter, Trainspotting, as others. His newest book is called "The Making of Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. It is an in depth look into what it took to bring Tarantino's vision to fruition. Jay flew all over the world, interviewing the actors, producers, costumers, set designers, and just about everyone who worked on the film. He brings to life the intensity and tirelessness that was the journey to get this film made. This 170,000+ word tome dives deep; with interviews and stories from just about everyone involved and brings to life some of the most amazing photographs, props, and set pieces of this cinematic masterpiece. Jay shares stories of his road to get some of these interviews, and how he even came into contact with some of the greatest actors, producers, and directors of the last century. We cover his journey of making his first couple of books and carry Jay's journey right on through to his NEXT two books and are slated to be released this year and the next. Great tales of meeting and getting to know some of the greats; Like Robert De Niro, Martin Scorsese, Mick Jagger, Quentin Tarantino, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio, Spencer Garrett, and so many more. Jay also explains HOW to talk to some of these icons, who are approached every day. The Making of Quentin Tarantino's Once Upon a Time in Hollywood is 8 pounds of AWESOME! It is available EVERYWHERE you get good books and just happens to be on sale (50% off) at the time of this episode's release (Amazon), so go get it for the movie lover in your life or get it for yourself. I guarantee that you will NOT be disappointed!

Von Ninja-Parcours, düsteren Dramen und einem Yautja auf der Jagd Von emotionalen Tiefschlägen bis zu einem Sci-Fi-Kracher, der das Franchise neu definiert! Timo startet mit einem Motivations-Schub: Er hat die zehnte Staffel von Ninja Warrior Germany nachgeholt (dank eines RTL+-Geschenks der Telekom!) und ist begeistert von der Athletik und Spannung der Show. Ein motivierender Exkurs, der ihn fast selbst von der Couch geholt hätte – aber nur fast! Dann wird es ernst: Zeljko hat das belgisch-holländische Drama Skunk gesehen, das ihn noch immer tief beschäftigt. Die Geschichte über einen Jugendlichen in einer Anstalt, der mit seiner traumatischen Vergangenheit kämpft, ist ein harter "Downer", der ihn zu Tränen gerührt hat. Timo bestätigt den Eindruck: Ein Film, der wehtut, aber wichtig ist und in einer Reihe mit Trainspotting oder Systemsprenger steht. Der Film der Woche ist diesmal Dan Trachtenbergs neuester Beitrag zum Predator-Universum: Predator: Badlands. Und hier sind sich beide einig: Der Film ist ein Volltreffer! Erstmals steht ein Predator (Yautja) als Protagonist im Mittelpunkt, der auf einem feindlichen Planeten seine erste große Jagd bestehen muss. Der Film bricht mit toxischen Männlichkeitsbildern, bietet spektakuläre Action, ein geniales Worldbuilding und einen bombastischen Score, den Zeljko am liebsten unter der Dusche hören würde. Timo feiert den Humor und die Buddy-Comedy-Elemente, während Zeljko von der Inszenierung und dem Mut, neue Wege zu gehen, begeistert ist. Einziger kleiner Wermutstropfen für Timo: Das Design des Predators war für ihn anfangs etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig. Trotzdem: Ein spaßiger, spannender und visuell beeindruckender Sci-Fi-Actioner, der Lust auf mehr macht! Eine Folge voller Kontraste – von sportlicher Unterhaltung über emotionale Tiefschläge bis hin zu intergalaktischer Action. Also, Ohren auf und ab in die Welt von "Once Upon A Time In Cinema - Der Filmpodcast" - jeden Sonntag um 10:00 Uhr, überall wo es Podcasts gibt!

This week we're heading to the gritty streets of Edinburgh for the visceral, high-octane 1996 masterpiece, Trainspotting! We're choosing life, choosing a job, and choosing to dive deep into Danny Boyle's groundbreaking look at Renton and his circle of friends. We'll discuss the iconic "Choose Life" opening, the pulse-pounding Britpop soundtrack, and how the film balances dark, surreal humor with the harsh realities of addiction and friendship.Since the characters in Trainspotting are often looking for a "fix" or a way to numb the world around them, we're serving up a drink that feels like a bit of a medicinal miracle: The Penicillin. This modern classic is the perfect tribute to the film's Scottish roots, featuring a base of Blended Scotch Whisky shaken with Fresh Lemon Juice and a spicy-sweet Honey-Ginger Syrup.So, grab your glasses and get ready to raise a glass to Trainspotting!Cocktail inspiration comes from Cinema Sips!!⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Merch Shop⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Patreon⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Bluesky⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.drinkthemovies.com⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠YouTube⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Discord⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠*Please Drink Responsibly*

we enter into 1993 with trainspotting by irvine welsh, which released on january 1. (whew, we just snuck in there!) after shreds fails to surface any 1993 facts, joey saves the day. we talk about a 90s novel set in the 90s, explore the irvine welsh shared universe, and discuss the dialectal writing in the text as well as the line that welsh straddles. we talk about how to describe the novel (in terms of it being a novel about masculinity, colonialism, heroin, and hiv) and how masculinity in 90s literature was defined by three writers (bret easton ellis, irvine welsh, and chuck palahniuk). we also make sure to talk about the humor (and how fresh this writing sounded upon release) before briefly discussing the adaptation (and what it changes/omits). shreds recounts an embarrassing moment from a film class. reading list for season seventeen vineland by thomas pynchonmao ii by don delilloall the pretty horses by cormac mccarthytrainspotting by irvine welshnotes of a crocodile by qiu miaojinsabbath's theater by philip roththe atlas by william t. vollmanni love dick by chris krausthe poisonwood bible by barbara kingsolverfrom hell by alan moore

Author Jay Glennie (ONE SHOT - THE MAKING OF THE DEER HUNTER, #25 TRAINSPOTTING, THE MAKING OF RAGING BULL) joins Adam and Joe to discuss his career journey and the writing of his new book THE MAKING OF ONCE UPON A TIME… IN HOLLYWOOD (now available wherever books are sold). From how he got started and was able to gain access to Academy Award winning filmmakers and their various casts/crews… to writing each book on his own without a publisher on board or any kind of commission… to why he doesn't over prepare lists of questions but instead approaches each subject as a human conversation… to always writing something that is completely readable and entertaining as opposed to only creating a written documentary full of dates, locations, and trivia… to how the absolutely incredible set photography is laid out in each of his books… Jay shares how he creates his vast time capsules of timeless films.

Prince Andrew's decision to host a party for Ghislaine Maxwell at Sandringham—where sex drugs like poppers were reportedly found—reads less like royal history and more like a bad dark comedy. The idea of a Queen's residence being turned into something resembling a low-rent Sopranos episode is almost surreal. The whole scene feels like parody: the Duke of York, standing beneath portraits of British monarchs, presiding over a soirée that sounds like Downton Abbey crashing headfirst into Trainspotting. It's especially grotesque given Epstein's reputation for avoiding drugs himself—he didn't need them, he used them on others. The thought of those same tools of control and exploitation making their way into a royal estate is equal parts absurd and revolting.What makes it worse is the total lack of accountability. The Palace still tries to frame these scandals as “private matters,” as though international sex trafficking and narcotics at royal residences can be brushed under the Windsor rug. Every new revelation cements Andrew as a man incapable of understanding—or even pretending to care about—the damage he's done to the Crown's image. Once considered a symbol of British decorum, Sandringham now sits as a monument to how far the monarchy has fallen, its history tainted by the stench of scandal and the arrogance of a prince who believed himself untouchable. In the end, Prince Andrew didn't just disgrace himself—he made royal scandal feel like a recurring sketch in a show that refuses to end.to contact me:source:Sex drugs 'found at party' disgraced Andrew hosted for Jeffrey Epstein and Ghislaine Maxwell in Sandringham, new Royal book claims | Daily Mail Online

Clive Anderson is joined in Glasgow by comedian Dom Joly who first introduced the world to the concept of a very loud man yelling in to a giant mobile phone 25 years ago.

A little something different this week: we're looking at two Soderbergh-scripted adaptations of international genre films! First, Soderbergh adapted Ole Bornedal's 1994 NATTEVAGTEN as 1997's NIGHTWATCH, also directed by Bornedal, starring post-TRAINSPOTTING, pre-PHANTOM MENACE Ewan McGregor as a night watchman at a spooky morgue. Next, Soderbergh turned Fabián Bielinsky's 2000 Argentine heist smash NUEVA REINAS (NINE QUEENS) into 2004's CRIMINAL, the directorial debut of Gregory Jacobs starring John C. Reilly and Diego Luna. Why did Sodey do this? Is there anything of the man in these adaptations? Do you need to watch four films before you listen to this episode? The answer to the last question is no! Fun ep, please enjoy. Further Reading: Steven Soderbergh: Interviews, ed.

Eoghan McCabe is the founder and CEO of Intercom, a customer service platform that has successfully pivoted to become an AI-first company with its agent product, Fin. After stepping away from the CEO role in 2020 due to health issues, Eoghan returned to find the company's growth had stalled. Just one month after his return, ChatGPT launched, and within six weeks, Intercom had a working prototype of what would become Fin. In this conversation, Eoghan shares the brutal reality of transforming a late-stage SaaS business valued at multiple billions into an AI-first company that's now growing faster than most public software companies.We discuss:1. Why Eoghan believes most late-stage companies won't survive the AI transition2. The “founder mode” transformation that required firing 40% of staff and resulted in 98% employee satisfaction3. Why having “nothing to lose” is the ultimate advantage in AI transformation (and why comfortable companies will fail)4. How Intercom transformed from a plateauing SaaS business to an AI-first company growing at 300%+5. How Intercom's pricing evolved from “the most hated in SaaS” to a model that charges just $0.99 per resolved ticket6. The cultural transformation required to compete with AI-native startups7. How 12 years of therapy and a period of “ego death” shaped Eoghan's leadership approach—Brought to you by:Great Question—Empower everyone to run great research: https://www.greatquestion.com/lennyWorkOS—Modern identity platform for B2B SaaS, free up to 1 million MAUs: https://workos.com/lennyDX—The developer intelligence platform designed by leading researchers: http://getdx.com/lenny—Transcript: ⁠https://www.lennysnewsletter.com/p/how-intercom-rose-from-the-ashes-eoghan-mccabe—My biggest takeaways (for paid newsletter subscribers): https://www.lennysnewsletter.com/i/170710700/my-biggest-takeaways-from-this-conversation—Where to find Eoghan McCabe:• X: https://x.com/eoghan• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/eoghanmccabe/• Website: https://eoghanmccabe.com/—Where to find Lenny:• Newsletter: https://www.lennysnewsletter.com• X: https://twitter.com/lennysan• LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/lennyrachitsky/—In this episode, we cover:(00:00) Introduction to Eoghan(05:00) The state of Intercom(09:53) The decision to pivot to AI(12:33) Why Eoghan is "anti-bot" in customer service(16:19) Pricing strategy evolution(19:26) Implementing the AI transformation(26:11) Cultural and organizational changes(31:18) Surviving a coup attempt(40:05) The future of AI and business(45:11) AI's impact on jobs(48:44) AI and human creativity(50:26) The importance of young AI talent(55:00) The cultural shift in AI adoption(58:00) Personal growth and leadership(01:04:34) Intercom's success in producing product leaders(01:11:05) Intercom's unique company culture(01:14:11) Lightning round and final thoughts—Referenced:• Intercom: https://www.intercom.com/• Fin: https://fin.ai/• Des Traynor on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/destraynor/• The art and science of pricing | Madhavan Ramanujam (Monetizing Innovation, Simon-Kucher): https://www.lennysnewsletter.com/p/the-art-and-science-of-pricing-madhavan• Pricing your AI product: Lessons from 400+ companies and 50 unicorns | Madhavan Ramanujam: https://www.lennysnewsletter.com/p/pricing-and-scaling-your-ai-product-madhavan-ramanujam• Brian Chesky's new playbook: https://www.lennysnewsletter.com/p/brian-cheskys-contrarian-approach• Behind the founder: Marc Benioff: https://www.lennysnewsletter.com/p/behind-the-founder-marc-benioff• Anthropic co-founder on quitting OpenAI, AGI predictions, $100M talent wars, 20% unemployment, and the nightmare scenarios keeping him up at night | Ben Mann: https://www.lennysnewsletter.com/p/anthropic-co-founder-benjamin-mann• Fergal Reid on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/fergalreid/• How Perplexity builds product: https://www.lennysnewsletter.com/p/how-perplexity-builds-product• Yosi Amram's website: https://yamram.com/• (Nathaniel Russell) Ego Death Now: https://heythereprojects.shop/products/copy-of-nathaniel-russell-space-is-a-place• Daniel Kahneman: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daniel_Kahneman• Palantir: https://www.palantir.com/• Stripe: https://stripe.com/• Revolut: https://www.revolut.com/en-US/• Paul Adams on LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/pauladams• What AI means for your product strategy | Paul Adams (CPO of Intercom): https://www.lennysnewsletter.com/p/what-ai-means-for-your-product-strategy• Which companies accelerate PM careers most: https://www.lennysnewsletter.com/p/which-companies-accelerate-your-pm• N26: https://n26.com/en-eu• Notion: https://www.notion.so/• Coinbase: https://www.coinbase.com/• True Detective on Max: https://www.hbomax.com/shows/true-detective/9a4a3645-74e0-4e4d-9f35-31464b402357• 28 Years Later: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt10548174/• Trainspotting: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0117951/• 28 Days Later: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0289043/• Fellow: https://fellowproducts.com/• Porsche 911: https://www.porsche.com/usa/models/911/• Making Meta | Andrew ‘Boz' Bosworth (CTO): https://www.lennysnewsletter.com/p/making-meta-andrew-boz-bosworth-cto—Recommended book:• Nuclear War: A Scenario: https://www.amazon.com/Nuclear-War-Scenario-Annie-Jacobsen/dp/0593476093Production and marketing by https://penname.co/.

From the high-rises of Muirhouse to the heart of countercultural Britain, Irvine Welsh has built a literary universe fuelled by punk energy, dancefloor euphoria, and radical empathy. In this episode of Full Disclosure, James O'Brien meets the novelist and cultural icon to trace a life shaped by rebellion, recovery, and relentless storytelling.They discuss Irvine's early years in working class Edinburgh, his brushes with heroin and grief, and the accidental discipline learned on a council computer that helped turn his chaotic brilliance into a career. The pair unpack the emotional weight behind his new book Men in Love, why he believes we're living in a post-cultural age, and the creative lessons of rave, romance, and rock bottom.Sharp, soulful, and defiantly untamed, Irvine reflects on belonging, addiction, and the mad joy of letting characters run the show.Find out more about Irvine Welsh's book, Men in Love here

On this day in 1995, at the height of the war in the former Yugoslavia, the Bosnian Serb army captured what was supposedly the UN "safe area" of Srebrenica. In the ensuing days, thousands of Bosnian Muslim women were raped. 8000 Muslim men and boys were murdered. It was Europe's worst massacre since the Second World War.Also in the programme: a Liberian historian on whether his fellow citizens should be outraged by President Trump's remarking on the Liberian leader's "excellent English"; and Scottish writer Irvine Welsh on his sequel to Trainspotting 30 years on from the publication of the original novel.(Photo: Bosnian Muslim women react as they stand amid grave stones of victims killed during the Srebrenica genocide, at the Srebrenica Genocide Memorial in Potocari, Bosnia and Herzegovina, 11 July 2025.
