A fourth-generation pâtissier, Thomas Haas was first introduced to the delicate art of hand-crafting chocolates and pastries in the kitchen of Cafe Konditorei Haas, opened by his great-grandfather in the Black Forest region of Aichhalden, Germany, in 1918. Thomas carried the torch and continued his family's long-standing tradition, apprenticing and working with top chefs in Michelin-starred restaurants across Europe en route to earning his stripes as Konditormeister, or Master Pastry Chef.  In 1995, Thomas was lured to Vancouver to take the role of Executive Pastry Chef at the Four Seasons Hotel, where he met his wife Lisa and twice placed in the top-three in the prestigious annual North American Pastry Chef of the Year competition in New York City. Thomas took an even larger bite of the Big Apple in 1998, when he moved to New York, and as Executive Pastry Chef, helped famed restaurateur and chef Daniel Boulud launch his flagship eatery, Daniel, in Manhattan's Upper East Side. During his time in Gotham, Thomas was singled out as one of the Top Ten Pastry Chefs in America by Chocolatier and Pastry Art & Design magazines and saw his star further rise when he made several appearances on Martha Stewart Living, and other international television shows. Today, Thomas and his wife Lisa own and operate Thomas Haas Chocolates & Patisserie in North Vancouver and the Kitsilano section of Vancouver in British Columbia, Canada.

Rita Hazan is equal parts colorist/artist/innovator. A NYC native, Rita is recognized as a pioneer, carving her own niche in the beauty field. Known not only for her eponymous Upper East Side salon and for creating the Root Concealer category, Rita's iconic looks on celebrities such as Beyoncé, Katy Perry, Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Simpson, Aubrey Plaza, and Sydney Sweeney have had a lasting impact on worldwide beauty trends.Rita always knew she wanted to work in the beauty industry. She started her career as an assistant at Oribe Salon. After a few years of making sure she knew everything there is to know about color, Rita was promoted to work as a colorist. In November of 2007, Rita had her first public appearance on the Oprah Winfrey show. Rita didn't always plan on starting her own haircare line, but she knew that if she did, it would have to be something necessary and true to herself. That is how the infamous root concealer was born, a way for women to cover their grays in between appointments. From then on, Rita continued to produce products that made it easier for people to take care of their hair from home.

In this episode, we sit down with the dynamic Elizabeth Rodriguez—actress, Broadway star, and proud Nuyorican—for a conversation about her journey through some of television and theatre’s most impactful roles. From her breakout as Aleida Diaz on Orange Is the New Black to her polarizing turn as Paz Valdez on Power, Elizabeth opens up about the love, hate, and everything in between that comes with playing complex characters. We also dive into her latest film Allswell in New York, a raw and heartfelt portrayal of sisterhood and struggle, co-starring fellow Latina powerhouses Daphne Rubin-Vega and Liza Colón-Zayas. Elizabeth shares how growing up on Manhattan’s Upper East Side as the daughter of Puerto Rican parents shaped her perspective—and her passion for telling real, rooted stories. Plus, we talk about the growing wave of Latino narratives on stage, including Broadway’s current productions of Buena Vista Social Club and Real Women Have Curves, and why representation isn't just important—it's urgent. This is an unfiltered, inspiring look at identity, resilience, and the magic that happens when Latinas rise together.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Spring art week just wrapped in New York City. Known for its extravagant floral displays and signature oysters and champagne, TEFAF is the fair with a vibe. This year, 91 exhibitors from 13 countries presented everything from antiquities to modern and contemporary art and design at the stately Park Avenue Armory. There's a real sense of passion here— dealers are eager to share the stories behind their works. Which brings us to today's episode, recorded live at the Thrill of the Chase panel with three very different cultural omnivores who personify Tefaf's ethos which span centuries and styles. Jeanne Greenberg Rohatyn‘s gallery Salon 94, has long blurred the lines between art and design. Housed in a Beaux-Arts townhouse on the Upper East Side she has presented everything from Rick Owens furniture to the recent Kennedy Yanko solo exhibitions. Adam Charlap Hyman, co-founder of Charlap Hyman & Herrero, brings a sweeping vision to interiors, furniture, architecture, and opera sets. He also curates, most recently Glass Subjects at R & Company which is currently on view. Alexandra Cunningham Cameron, Curator of Contemporary Design at the Cooper Hewitt, began her career in literature before turning to storytelling through objects. Her work explores symbolism, inclusion, and cultural memory. Together, they explore what makes an object irresistible. Is it beauty, rarity—or the story it tells? In this conversation, Artnet Studio's William Van Meter dig into the thrill of discovery, the elusive “X factor,” and how great objects help shape layered narratives.

I had a budding career as an attorney. I was making more money than I knew how to spend. I was living in the Upper East Side. Everything looked promising.On paper, it seemed like Justin Maffett had achieved the life he'd always wanted, but instead of enjoying it, he felt trapped in a career that was making him miserable. Then in 2020, COVID lockdowns forced Justin into a state of physical and emotional isolation, and that simmering resentment he felt towards his work turned into a mental health crisis - followed by arrests and felony charges - that would upend his entire life.May is Mental Health awareness month, so in this episode we're hearing about Justin's long journey back from the brink, and why when it comes to Mental Health, we need radical transparency.About JustinJustin Maffett is a writer, lawyer, and current graduate student at HEC Paris Business School.

What if you could build up a resistance to absolutely anything through repeated exposure? Inspired by the real-life story of Tim Friede, who injected himself with increasing doses of snake venom until he developed immunity, this episode explores a world where humans can become resistant to gravity, car crashes, or even anvils to the head. From specialized training centers at the mall that progressively drop heavier objects on your skull to high school gym classes where kids graduate from Barbie cars to full-sized vehicles, discover how society would transform if human biology could adapt to literally anything. We explore how careers would change - plumbers resistant to bad smells, electricians handling live wires with bare hands - and how regional human subspecies might emerge based on local hazards. Would the Upper East Side elite compete to make their babies anvil-proof before their first birthday? In this world, your skull thickness might become your most valuable credential, and Halloween costumes would reflect our vastly more diverse physical appearances.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for May 2, 2025 is: ziggurat • ZIG-uh-rat • noun A ziggurat is an ancient Mesopotamian temple consisting of a pyramidal structure built in successive stages with outside staircases and a shrine at the top. The word ziggurat is also sometimes used for a similarly shaped structure. // Ancient ziggurats were always built with a core of mud brick and an exterior covered with baked brick. They had no internal chambers and were usually square or rectangular. See the entry > Examples: "The Breuer building, the former home of the Whitney Museum on New York's Upper East Side, counts as one of the defining buildings of the brutalist movement. Completed in 1966, it was designed by Marcel Breuer, who envisioned the structure as an inverted ziggurat." — Alex Greenberger, Art in America, 14 Jan. 2025 Did you know? French professor of archaeology François Lenormant spent a great deal of time poring over ancient Assyrian texts. In those cuneiform inscriptions, he pieced together a long-forgotten language, now known as Akkadian, which proved valuable to our understanding of the ancient civilization. Through his studies, he became familiar with the Akkadian word for Mesopotamia's towering, stepped temples: ziqqurratu, which stepped into English as ziggurat.

What if humans and all mammals hatched from eggs? This episode explores a world where expectant parents carry decorated eggs to work, conference tables have special egg holders, and the Upper East Side boasts expensive hatcheries playing Mozart to developing offspring. From the marketing potential of personalized egg covers to the social stigmas of different egg-carrying methods, discover how our relationship with reproduction and parenting would transform. Would human eggs be leathery like reptiles or hard like birds? How would we adapt our homes, workplaces, and social structures for portable babies-to-be? And would egg-swapping become the new worry for anxious parents?

On the morning of August 26, 1986, a cyclist in New York's Central Park discovered the body eighteen-year-old Jennifer Levin. Among other things, Levin had been strangled, there were superficial injuries on her face, and her shirt was pulled up. Later, the medical examiner reported that Jennifer had died only about an hour before she was discovered.It didn't take long for investigators to find Levin's assailant, after several patrons at a nearby bar reported seeing her with a man the night before. That man turned out to be nineteen-year-old Robert Chambers Jr., a privileged members of New York's Upper East Side high society. At first, Chambers denied having anything to do with the murder, but soon changed his story and claimed Levin had died during consensual “rough sex” initiated by Levin herself.Nicknamed the “The Preppy Killer” by the press, a reference to his good looks and obvious privilege, Chambers' trial became a media circus. Over the course of more than a year, people around the country watched as the defense tried—and with the help of the press, succeeded—to put the responsibility for Levin's murder on the victim, emphasizing her sexual history and manner of dress, among other things.

ARTWORK: the artwork depicts a near headless suited individual who appears to be a man with a 2D hand holding a gun pointed at his head, which is portrayed as a television set; the placement of the artists name at the center of the screen suggests that this is a reflective interpretation of oneself, and the lyrics suggest that the figure holding the man at gunpoint is another incarnation or person of the man himself, or of the artists depiction of the sense of self being separated entirely from what is truth, or what is known--and what is felt.

Like an actual bum's dog; I live, mind you in the Upper East Side and by the way, i told you I'd do this so you'd tape $20 on my collar so the Wag guy thinks my owner tipped him well— COSMIC AVENGER —or at all— DOG CONT'D Or at all— and feeds me more! COSMIC AVENGER (desperately) You know what? Fine. DOG I got a buddy— Darnell, up in the Bronx that might do it, COSMIC AVENGER His name is Darnell? DOG Nah, it's ‘Buddy', but Darnell is his “friend” COSMIC AVENGER (Understanding) Hence the talking– DOG Are you not fully caught up to speed in the dynamics of shapeshifting? COSMIC AVENGER Not all the way, no. DOG Which is why this is dangerous. COSMIC AVENGER I second! DOG Now, put $25 dollars in my collar, and walk me up to the Bronx, and then back to the Upper East Side so I can fetch with my Wag guy and eat steak tartare! COSMIC AVENGER Steak tartare?!?! DOG And not in that order — put the $25 on my collar last, actually— Like in the safety and comfort of my crate— COSMIC AVENGER You said $20! DOG And now I'm saying $25, because this guy stinks, and not in the way that I like. COSMIC AVENGER You're right. DOG Because I'm better than you. COSMIC AVENGER But not really. DOG Yes, really. COSMIC AVENGER $25!? Are you not a millionaire, shapeshifter?? COSMIC AVENGER Fine! Gosh! Now, let's — Suddenly I was rush with the anxiety of performance— it was Bedford Avenue ona Saturday morning— which reminded me… it was Saturday, and I had been doing weird shit on Saturday, almost ritualistically. l…. Somehow, automatically, I seemed to get off of the train with no trouble at just the right stop.— writing was a time jump forward. I slowed my roll to catch my breath after the stairs and kept speed behind a sea of beautiful dogs and beautiful children's families. Ugh. The good part of town— I wanted to live somewhere like this, but alas… Apparently something was wrong with me. It was an excellent exercise in energy, but l it was also the music telling me to run, instead of walk— I was still being stalked— some cheap bottle blonde was sent in front of me, mocking. This always happened in the good part of town— the [redacted] effect. Yo, get that thing away from me I hate your guts Get away from me I start counting on the way out 20, 40, 60 I start counting all my time And all my dimes on the way out Alright, where's Seth Meyers? Why?! Whose asking? I Am. Why? Don't repeat yourself Cause this dude's really starting to piss me off. The old man waits at the crosswalk for the next walk sign l— I still double back to make sure he's golden; Fox knows this is where we all go, We both know how slow and how old he is, and so I double back My heart can't take it and anyway.

Earlier this year, we lost one of the greatest and most influential chefs ever to ply his trade in the United States, when André Soltner passed away at age 92. On the day the culinary community pay their respects at a celebration of his life in New York City, we wanted to share this previously unaired conversation with Chef Soltner, recorded in 2016 as part of Andrew's research for his book Chefs, Drugs, and Rock & Roll. André Soltner was of course best known for his restaurant Lutèce, where he was the chef (and for 22 years, also the owner) from 1961 - 1994. (For more about his life, please see William Grimes' excellent New York Times obituary.)This conversation took place in Chef Soltner's apartment on the Upper East Side of Manhattan on December 5, 2016, just five weeks after the death of his wife Simone. It covers his first interest in the culinary arts, his feelings about nouvelle cuisine, the brutality of old-school kitchens, his disposition toward the young American chefs who rose up during Lutèce's heyday, the pain of a negative review, and whether or not the legend of his only taking five nights off in the restaurant's lifespan was true. (He also does a quick but memorable impression of Julia Child.) Chef Soltner's kindness, generosity, and good humor shine through in this conversation. We hope it offers those who never had the opportunity to know him a sense of his personality, and those who did know him a welcome remembrance.Huge thanks to Andrew Talks to Chefs' presenting sponsor, meez, the recipe operating software for culinary professionals.

Welcome back to the Morning After Series on SUPERWOMEN, sponsored by Magnum Ice Cream! In the fourth and final episode of this series, Candace Bushnell, the creator of “Sex and The City,” and I met up with with Dorinda Medley—beloved “Real Housewives of New York” alum, author of “Make It Nice,” and ultimate New York icon—for an unfiltered conversation about reinvention, relationships, and what it really means to grow into yourself.In this episode, Dorinda brings her signature wit and honesty to the table as she reflects on the wisdom and peace that come with age, the art of the hard reset, and how she learned to manage anxiety by embracing stillness. From spontaneous kisses over Sunday lattes to morning walks in Central Park (with perfectly groomed dogs), Dorinda reminds us that life is best lived with heart, intention, and a healthy dose of humor. We also dive into the evolution of dating after 50, why women should lean into saying yes, and how Blue Stone Manor became not just a home but a sanctuary. We get into the “floozy clause” of prenups, the realities of Upper East Side divorce culture, and the beauty of female friendship.This episode is sponsored by Magnum Ice Cream (US).

Happy Sunday!! We hope you enjoy this episode where we talk about a cozy, murder mystery, romance novel? A string of words we never thought we would say or put together. How did it go? Did this author pull this off? You will have to listen to get all our thoughts and opinions on this book!  Also don't forget to follow all of our socials as it is the best way to keep up with the goings on, updates and any exciting announcements [and we have a few exciting announcements coming up!]. Follow all of that info here!!   Summary:    When Pomona Afton, Upper East Side hotel heiress, stumbles out of a gala and upon the scene of her grandmother's murder, her first thought is that the society queen won't be missed for her kind, cookie-baking ways. In fact, she was mean, greedy, and paranoid—so paranoid that she secretly slipped a clause into her will mandating that, should she die an unnatural death, all the family assets get frozen. And if the “unnatural death” isn't explained? Those accounts stay frozen. Practically overnight, Pomona is locked out of her penthouse with no other option than to move in with a roommate: Gabe, the irritable (yet handsome) son of her former nanny. Not only is his apartment cramped, but it doesn't even have a doorman. Or a chef! Pom needs someone to solve this murder, like, yesterday, so she can get her trust fund back. And Gabe? He needs this murder solved because that's the only way his mother, who toiled for the Afton family for years, will ever get the retirement money she deserves. As Pom's family clams up, blocking the police at every turn, Pom quickly realizes that if she wants her glamorous life back, she's going to have to put on her big-girl Manolos and do it herself…with the help of Gabe, who she's falling for more and more by the day. Can Pomona Afton (who previously couldn't solve a crossword in the bath on a hungover Sunday) actually solve this murder? And if she does return to her former life of luxury, will it be worth the possibility of losing Gabe?

Some people walk into a room, and you just know they're special. They've got an energy, a presence—maybe even a signature scent that turns heads. Well, my guest on The Debbie Nigro Show for this special Women's History Month edition is exactly that kind of person. Meet Sue Phillips, the internationally acclaimed fragrance expert, scent therapist, and newly honored Global Women Peace Ambassador! If you love a great success story, the science of scent, and a little inspiration to keep going no matter what life throws your way, this is the episode you need to hear. Sue Phillips: From Broadway Dreams to Fragrance Queen Sue's story is the kind of wild, unexpected career journey we all love. Originally from South Africa, she arrived in New York City chasing dreams of singing and acting. But when an immigration lawyer bluntly told her, “We have 20,000 out-of-work actresses. What else can you do?” she quickly pivoted.

Mayor Adams and NYPD officials say New York City recorded the fewest shootings in January and February since record-keeping began. Meanwhile, the head of the city's teachers union is urging lawmakers to oppose President Trump's education policies. Also, New York State's corrections commissioner says the wildcat strike by correctional officers is officially over, with more than 2,000 officers fired for not returning to work. Plus, New York City is weighing landmark status for the former Whitney Museum building on the Upper East Side, known for its Brutalist design.

Today, Noah and John sit down with Alexander Boriskin, co-founder of the Michael Lorber Team at Douglas Elliman, one of NYC's top-producing real estate agents with over $2 billion (with a B!) in sales. Alexander dives into the state of the NYC market, covering everything from new developments absorbing inventory, the impact of concessions, and neighborhood trends—especially the rising popularity of the Upper East Side. He also shares insights on buyer demand, the rise of “faux-ops”, and how co-ops are (somehow, someway) becoming more flexible. He also gives invaluable advice for agents looking to succeed in the business, emphasizing grit, mentorship, and non-stop hustle. Top notch!

Ernst Billgren bor i Anders Zorns gamla lägenhet, Andy Warhols inredningsstil överraskade många och Isaac Grünewald byggde en enorm ateljé i sitt hem. Lyssna på alla avsnitt i Sveriges Radio Play. Konstnärshem inspirerar och fascinerar och i veckans Stil gläntar vi på dörren till tre konstnärer för att se hur de bor och bodde – Ernst Billgren, Andy Warhol och Isaac Grünewald.Ernst Billgren berättar om sin lägenhet på Södermalm i Stockholm, där både Anders Zorn och Evert Taube tidigare bott. John Peter Nilsson, intendent på Moderna Museet, tar oss med till Andy Warhols townhouse på The Upper East Side i New York.

There are two things Nina Jacobs is determined to do over the summer of 1986: avoid her mother's depression-fueled rages, and lose her virginity before she starts college in the fall. Both are seemingly impossible—when her mother isn't lying in bed for days, she's lashing out at Nina over any perceived slight. And after a blowjob gone spectacularly wrong, Nina is the talk of Flanagan's, the Upper East Side bar where young Manhattan society congregates. It doesn't help that she's Jewish, an outsider among the blue-eyed blondes who populate this rarified world. She can fit in, kind of, with enough alcohol and prescription drugs stolen from her parents' medicine cabinet. Flanagan's is where she pines for the handsome, preppy, and charismatic Gardner Reed. Every girl wants to sleep with him and every guy wants to be him. After she's introduced to cocaine, Nina plunges headlong into her pursuit of Gardner, oblivious to the warning signs. When a new medication seemingly frees her mother from darkness, and Nina and Gardner grow closer, it seems like Nina might finally get what she wants. But at what cost? Freud called cocaine “a gorgeous excitement,” but a gorgeous excitement for the wrong guy can be lethal. Cynthia Weiner has had a long career writing and teaching fiction. Her short stories have been published in Ploughshares, The Sun, and Epiphany, and her story “Boyfriends” was awarded a Pushcart Prize. Recently, her story “A Castle in Outerspace” was republished in Coolest American Stories 2024. She is also the assistant director of The Writers Studio in New York City. A Gorgeous Excitement is her debut novel.

Cynthia talks about her personal connection to the case, her experiences growing up in the preppy Upper East Side social scene, and how she wove themes of longing, identity, and vulnerability into her novel. She also delves into the impact of parental presence, the euphoria and danger of young love, and the pressures of fitting in. Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/4aXWcbEShare, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!

The Upper East Side of New York City is home to the Metropolitan Museum of Art, some phenomenally expensive homes, and a lively restaurant and bar scene.In this quick guide, we'll break down what an afternoon (or full day) on the Upper East Side can look like from pre-museum activities, an excellent bar for happy hour, and a few food options you won't want to miss!First Stop - Early Lunch at Don Filippo & Coffee at 787 CoffeeDon Filippo is quite the unassuming spot, with the decor giving you the feel of an authentic '90s pizza joint. But don't be fooled; their pizzas are phenomenal, available as a pie or by the slice.Don't skip the garlic knots!Check out Don Filippo here.Before heading to the MET, take a quick detour for some delicious and highly-rated coffee from 787 Coffee. Their cappuccino is solid and they also offer delicious drip coffee.The museum is massive, and you don't wanna be dragging during your visit!Check out 787 Coffee on the Upper East Side here.Main Activity - 2-3 Hours at The Metropolitan Museum of Art (The MET)Head to their website beforehand to buy tickets (which will save you some time) and plan out certain exhibits or art pieces you want to see.It's a huge museum covering many time periods, art styles, and art mediums.Check out the MET here.Optional 2nd Activity - The Obelisk & Belvedere Castle in Central ParkThese two iconic spots in Central Park are close to the MET and will only take roughly 45-60 minutes to explore after your visit to the museum.Check outThe Obelisk here & seeBelvedere Castle here.Post-Museum Drinks at The Raven PubIdeally, you catch their happy hour until 7 pm to get $7 beers, wines, and well drinks!We love this pub, which features a surprisingly robust food menu, plenty of beers on draft, and live music throughout the week.Check out The Raven Pub here.This Episode's You'll Have to Check It Out Segment - Sushi GamaSushi Gama is a fantastic option for some fresh sushi with quick service and fair prices, especially during happy hour.Happy hour for food is from 12-6pm and drinks are from 3-7pm. We love this spot!Check out Sushi Gama here.Dinner at Up Thai on 2nd AvenueThis is one of our favorite Thai spots in New York City! Up Thai is a slightly upscale Thai spot serving unique dishes, delicious duck options, and phenomenal cocktails.Their specials are worth trying and rotate with the seasons. Beef Shortrib Panang and Duck Tamarind are some of the best Thai dishes we've had. We recommend getting many dishes and sharing rather than everyone getting their own dish.The M&M (Magical Spicy Margarita) and the Lycheetini are our go-to cocktails. Vegetable Pad Thai has perfectly cooked, thick vegetables rather than the small/stringy veggies that typically come with Pad Thai.Check out Up Thai here.Dessert Option - Anita La Mamma del GelatoThere can be a line, especially in the summer, so plan on that, but it will be worth it. They have phenomenal gelato, and their waffle cones are a must-get!Check out Anita La Mamma del Gelato on the UES here.Download the full NYC Navigation & Transportation Guide here + join our newsletter here:⁠⁠https://rebrand.ly/nyc-navigation-guide⁠Please rate, review, and follow!

Welcome to the final installment of my interview with Cynthia Weiner, author of the brand new book “A Gorgeous Excitement,” a coming of age novel set in 1980s New York City that is inspired by both Cynthia's own upbringing on the Upper East Side during the 80s and the infamous Preppy Killer. Cynthia is also the assistant director of the writer's studio in New York City and her short fiction has been published in “Open City,” “Ploughshares,” and “The Sun,” has earned a Pushcart Prize and been anthologized in Coolest American Stories 2024. We covered: - The 90s soundtrack that's helping Cynthia get into her next project (which is set in the 90s) - The three writers whose example inspires Cynthia on her own path - Her burning desire to have a house with a yard and, most importantly, a tree - The Max show she's bingeing, her elaborate daily diet soda ritual, the best day of the week, and the fast food meal she's craving Connect with Cynthia on Instagram at @cynthiaweiner There are new Finding the Throughline episodes roughly every other week–hit “subscribe” so you know when the next ones drop!

The NYPD says a burglar has been breaking into nail salons and restaurants across the city, stealing cash, nail supplies, and frying pots. Meanwhile, housing advocates say three-quarters of New Jersey's 564 municipalities met a recent deadline to commit to building affordable housing in their communities. Also, police are looking for a group of five people responsible for stealing purses from women on the Upper East Side. Plus, after Mayor Adams vowed to make NYC the best place to raise a family, the city is shutting down five early childcare centers. Now, his challengers in the upcoming mayoral primary are seizing on the issue. WNYC's Brigid Bergin has more.

This week I'm talking with Cynthia Weiner, author of “A Gorgeous Excitement,” a coming of age novel set in 1980s New York City. “A Gorgeous Excitement” is inspired by Cynthia's own 80s upbringing on the Upper East Side of New York, as well as the infamous Preppy Killer, a former prep school student who killed a girl in Central Park in the summer of 1986 and who frequented a bar called Dorian's, where Cynthia spent many nights drinking with friends. Her work has won the Pushcart Prize and been anthologized in the Coolest American Stories. Cynthia is also the assistant director of the writer's studio in New York City where, fun fact, I took classes with her in the early 2000s. We covered: - The award she won in second grade that hooked her on the writing life - How she stumbled into teaching writing - Writing as a “weird compulsion” - The plus sides of working on a novel for nearly 10 years - The daily rituals that help her write - The time management technique that helps her get unstuck - Why catching up with a friend helps her write - How living a boring life leaves more space for the work Connect with Cynthia on Instagram at @cynthiaweiner There are new Finding the Throughline episodes roughly every other week–hit “subscribe” so you know when the next ones drop!

The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue became a cultural phenomenon in the mid 70's thanks in large part to supermodel Cheryl Tiegs who was on the cover in 1970, 1975 and again in 1983 becoming the first Swimsuit to be on the cover three times. She went from a shy midwestern gal to living in New York City as one of the top models in the world thanks in large part to those 3 covers for SI. But her most famous shot was probably the fishnet suit she wore in 1978. Lets just say not much was left to the imagination and a star was born. In 1989, Sports Illustrated celebrated the 25th anniversary of the swimsuit issue with a 306 page layout that celebrated the woman over the years that made the popular publication what it was... a must see event that arrived in your mailbox in the middle of January to the delight of most men, young and old, and to the chagrin of mothers and wives across the land. Kathy Ireland was on the cover of that 1989 SI and once again, Cheryl Tiegs was a part of it... one of 9 times she appeared in the iconic issue. Curry Kirkpatrick wrote the corresponding piece of Tiegs in 1989 and remembers her as breathtaking in her early 40's as she had been 19 years earlier when she first was on a cover for Sports Illustrated. Kirkpatrick recalls when he first met Cheryl in her penthouse in New York City... and exactly what she wore as they strolled through the Big Apple to grab lunch on the Upper East Side. It was the only time the SI writer ever worked on the swimsuit issue and it's one he never forgot. He tells us on the show how Tiegs became the first SI model to become a huge celebrity and how she wasn't a fan of being in the spotlight. He recollects how Cheryl became a full fledged business-woman and paved the way for future models to be more than just a beautiful woman. And he tells how in the end, he received a hand-written note from Cheryl telling him she loathed the article Curry wrote of her in that 1989 issue. Why?

Across the U.S. and Europe it's ski season, and Simon Mills will join us with his report on an exclusive destination in France that was once the domain of oligarchs and that has now been taken over by a very different group of high-rollers. Then, if you were in New York in the 1980s, you surely remember the infamous “Preppy Killer”—a 19-year-old named Robert Chambers who met an 18-year-old Jennifer Levin in an Upper East Side bar and strangled her later that night in Central Park. It was a killing that captivated the city, and Cynthia Weiner is out with a new novel that revisits the crime. She'll be with us to talk about her connection to the story. And finally, Linda Wells joins us to discuss the latest trends in health and wellness.See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.
