The state of the UK's water sector is barely out of the headlines at the moment and today a major review into the water industry in England and Wales said the regulator Ofwat should be scrapped. Sir Jon Cunliffe, who led the review, also warned that household bills will rise by 30% over the next five years.

Earlier this year, E.A. Hanks—also known as Elizabeth—made her literary debut The 10: A Memoir of Family and the Open Road. Considering its framing, it is no surprise that the book was recommended to Ten Across by many. The 10 documents Elizabeth's re-creation of a fraught childhood road trip taken with her mother in 1996, traveling Interstate 10 from end to end. In retracing her mother's path, she reflects on the diverse nature of the region itself and its influence on events both large and small.  What results is, in significant part, a series of provocative questions about identity—personal, political, and place-based. For example, what makes Texas and California so different, and at the same time so equally vivid in the American imagination? Why do people around the world recognize so much of this singular transect? Is New Orleans the American city? How long can Phoenix exist as it has? How do we define a border? Finally, and most importantly, how do such places inform our future—as individuals and as a nation?  In this special two-part interview, Elizabeth Hanks and Ten Across founder Duke Reiter attempt to answer all the above and find many new questions and revelations along the way. Keep an eye out for part two, which will be released wherever you get your podcasts on July 24.  Relevant Ten Across Conversations podcasts:  “Addressing Historical Inequities in Our National Infrastructure, Then and Now”  “Asking the Right Question: What Texas and Arizona Can Tell Us About the Country”  “Why Phoenix is the ‘Most American City' with George Packer”  Listen to “The 10” on Spotify, or other audiobook servicesCredits:Host: Duke ReiterProducer and editor: Taylor GriffithMusic by: American Legion  Research and support provided by: Kate Carefoot, Rae Ulrich and Sabine ButlerAbout our guest:E.A.

Tina Brown joins Daily Beast Executive Editor Hugh Dougherty to revisit the scandal she helped break wide open—Jeffrey Epstein—and how it now threatens to fracture MAGA from within. Brown, co-founder of The Daily Beast and former editor of Vanity Fair and The New Yorker, reflects on commissioning the explosive 2010 Epstein exposé that first named names like Bill Clinton, Prince Andrew, and Larry Summers. She recalls Epstein's chilling intimidation tactics—including showing up uninvited to her office—and explains how he leveraged social status, political donations, and kompromat to shield himself for decades. Brown also reveals that Ghislaine Maxwell was more socially visible than Epstein in the 1990s and how her husband exposed Robert Maxwell as a crooked businessman years earlier. As new revelations emerge—including that an FBI source warned Epstein “would never make it to trial”—Brown unpacks why this scandal still haunts Trump, whose bond with Epstein spanned 15 years. She describes how Trump's recent meltdown on Truth Social, dismissing his base as “weak” and “stupid,” signals a dangerous rupture. And with MAGA obsessed with pedophilia conspiracies, Brown warns: this may be the one scandal Trump can't shake—because for once, his base might not let him. Hosted on Acast.

This week, Paul sits down with Sarah Personette, CEO of Puck, the fast-growing news outlet the New York Times described as “Vanity Fair for the Substack era.” From her ambition to become a CEO at age seven to her senior roles at Facebook, Universal-McCann, and Twitter – which ended after Elon Musk bought the company, Sarah unpacks what it takes to lead teams through uncertainty, disruption, and reinvention. She explains Puck's blend of high-caliber journalism with modern distribution, and how to survive the oncoming AI onslaught. Sarah speaks candidly about navigating career transitions, modeling work-life balance, leading global teams, and raising children with intention while running billion-dollar operations. Whether you're a founder, a parent, or just starting out, her mantra—“Stay calm, stay focused, stay classy”—is a playbook for thriving in today's chaotic world.

Megyn Kelly begins the show by discussing the possibility that the Trump administration will be releasing more on Jeffrey Epstein now, why the story really matters even if it isn't the most important story in the country or world, the need for journalists to stay on it and get to the truth, the nuances in the Epstein and Diddy story and why not all alleged victims are to be believed, the hypocrisy from some in the press who covered for Biden's cognitive decline now trying to spin Epstein to hurt Trump, and more. Then Vicky Ward, author of "The Idaho Four," joins to discuss the facts we know about whether Epstein was an intel asset or "belonged to intelligence," the significance of Ghislaine Maxwell's father Robert Maxwell, Alex Acosta's past non-answers, the details of Epstein's strange career path, how he supposedly got wealthy, the circles he ran in that included Ehud Barak and Bill Clinton, how he was able to get the cushy plea deal, how Epstein threatened her unborn children while she investigated his finances and real estate for Vanity Fair, how he infiltrated newsrooms to manipulate coverage, why his intimidation tactics went unchecked for years, new reporting about the roommate who was Bryan Kohberger's main target, his behavior mirroring past killers, how investigators used DNA technology to crack what was nearly the perfect crime, and more. Ward- https://www.hachettebookgroup.com/titles/james-patterson/the-idaho-four/9780316572859/ Riverbend Ranch: Visit https://riverbendranch.com/ | Use promo code MEGYN for $20 off your first order.Just Thrive: Visit https://justthrivehealth.com/discount/Megyn and use code MEGYN to save 20% sitewideBirch Gold: Text MK to 989898 and get your free info kit on goldPique: Get 20% off your order plus a FREE frother & glass beaker with this exclusive link: https://piquelife.com/MEGYNFollow The Megyn Kelly Show on all social platforms:YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/MegynKellyTwitter: http://Twitter.com/MegynKellyShowInstagram: http://Instagram.com/MegynKellyShowFacebook: http://Facebook.com/MegynKellyShow Find out more information at: https://www.devilmaycaremedia.com/megynkellyshow

The Social Studies Show: Breaking Into Entertainment Photography In this episode, we're diving deep into the world of entertainment photography — not just the hype, but the how. I've been to the panels, scrolled through the think pieces, and watched the rise of online photo coaches. But what's often missing is a real-world breakdown of what entertainment photography actually takes — the different lanes (gallery, key art, press, behind-the-scenes), how to break in, how to stay in, and how to shoot work that ends up on billboards, posters, and national campaigns. To help us unpack it all, I've brought in three heavy-hitting guests who operate at the top of their game — and they're not speaking in theory. They've lived it.

Laura Pezzino"Lavorare e amare. Amare e lavorare"Tove JanssonElecta Editorewww.electa.itUna tempesta tutta per sé. La storia di Tove Jansson (1914-2001), romanziera, pittrice, illustratrice, che sarà principalmente ricordata per i suoi Mumin, è quella di una persona che ha amato creare e costruire. Questo libro, intramato come una fiaba sul tempo delle quattro stagioni, ricostruisce in modo anarchico e personale la biografia di questa donna del Nord, ma anche quella di un paesaggio che parla di isole, foreste e vento e insieme di case come palcoscenici intimi per lavori, amori, avventure.Il volume fa parte della collana OILÀ, curata da Chiara Alessi, che presenta le storie di protagoniste del Novecento. Figure femminili che, nel panorama ‘creativo' italiano e internazionale (dal design alla moda, dall'architettura alla musica, dall'illustrazione alla grafica, dalla fotografia alla letteratura) si sono distinte in rapporto a discipline e mestieri ritenuti da sempre appannaggio dell'universo maschile. I libri, pensati per essere letti ad alta voce dall'inizio alla fine in quarantacinque minuti -un viaggio breve-, sono racconti di persone condotti attraverso una lente speciale sulle loro biografie, i lavori, i fatti privati e i risultati pubblici.Il progetto grafico è a cura dello Studio Sonnoli.Laura Pezzino è giornalista e scrittrice. Ha lavorato per 14 anni nella redazione di Vanity Fair, occupandosi prevalentemente dei settori spettacolo, attualità e costume. Sempre per Condè Nast è stata book editor dell'ufficio centrale. Oggi è giornalista freelance e collabora con numerose testate tra cui La Stampa, L'Espresso, Rivista Studio, F, Vanity Fair. Si occupa di editing, social media management, consulenza editoriale. Il suo primo libro è A New York con Patti Smith (Giulio Perrone Editore, 2022).IL POSTO DELLE PAROLEascoltare fa pensarewww.ilpostodelleparole.itDiventa un supporter di questo podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/il-posto-delle-parole--1487855/support.

Next, Tom Bevan talks to RCP contributor John Kass about what it means for America that its most populous cities – including Los Angeles, Chicago and perhaps New York after today's announcement that Zohran Mamdani is the official Democratic mayoral candidate - are run by progressive Democratic mayors. And lastly, Andrew Walworth talks to RealClear Investigations writer Ben Weingarten about his recent article on how the Trump Administration wants to exclude illegal aliens from the U.S. Census count, and why doing so could alter the balance of power in the House, change the distribution of votes among states in the electoral college, and redistribute population-based federal funds.

The primary discussion revolves around the Idaho shooting, which the speaker suggests is "likely a hoax" and part of a "psychological warfare" operation. Key points raised regarding the Idaho incident include:Geographic and Date Coincidences: The shooting occurred in Coeur d'Alene, Idaho, known as "ground zero for the Aryan Nations". The event's timing coincided with the anniversary of the "Aryan Inferno" in 2001, where local firefighters burned down the Aryan Nation's security house as a training exercise. This date also falls "several weeks after 6-11-01, which is when Timothy McVeigh was executed".Suspect Details and "Red Flags": The alleged shooter, Wes Riley/Rowley, is a 20-year-old who reportedly wanted to be a firefighter but ambushed them after starting a wildfire. The speaker points to "red flags," such as the shooter's stepdad being an "Army Cavalry Scout biker gang member" with a "Nazi code" (1488) on his knuckles and an "anti-terrorism certification with the State Department". These details, along with the rapid and hyped media coverage and the sheriff's unusual suggestion for citizens to engage the shooter, lead the speaker to believe it's a "story being rolled out".The "Hoax Code": The number "33" is frequently cited as a "hoax code" for insiders, appearing in the 33-year anniversary of Ruby Ridge and the 33 state police officers commended for their response to the Trump assassination attempt.The program expands on broader themes of psychological operations (PSYOPs) and media manipulation:Integrated Institutions: The speaker asserts that "all of these psychological operations do make use of your fire departments, your police departments, as well as the integration with the DHS and the media". It's suggested that "the firefighters are the perps" in events like the "9-11 hoax," which was a "drill that was sold to the public as a real terror event"."Informed Disbelief": The program advocates for "informed disbelief" as an "updated operating system" for consuming media, moving beyond "low information believers" who rely on headlines. This approach seeks to separate "real from fake" through "clear-headed reasoning".Critique of Conspiracy Theories: The speaker criticizes certain conspiracy theories, such as "chemtrails," as "long-debunked" and propagated by "paid shill[s] or propaganda mule[s]". Claims like "everything is fake" are dismissed as "shallow" and a "CIA narrative designed to discredit what we're doing". The "elite gender inversion" claim is also deemed "ridiculous" and "disinformation". JFK Assassination: The speaker notes a largely unnoticed 2023 Vanity Fair article revealing that JFK had "staged his own murder" in a 16-minute silent home movie with his wife, Jackie, two months before his actual assassination, which included him lying "on the ground covered in Heinz 57 ketchup". Here are five quotes from the transcript:"The purpose of this is continuity. I can't always make it to the studio, but I always have a lot to say because there's always a lot happening. And to stay in sync with it, to remain informed, I think it's important to keep some kind of communication going here.""The psychological warfare and how this thing in Idaho is likely a hoax based on certain things that happen to coincide with it.""I'm making these statements in full awareness that these victims are fake.""The fact of it is all of these psychological operations do make use of your fire departments, your police departments, as well as the integration with the DHS and the media. It is super integrated and there are sellouts in all of these institutions.""Yeah, 33 state police officers recognized for a response to Trump assassination attempt. 33. Why is that? Again, I think you all know the answer. It's the hoax code. It's so the insiders know not to take it too seriously. So they know it's a plot change, a plot twist."

Molly Jong-Fast's new memoir, How to Lose Your Mother, is celebrity memoir meets real literary merit. As fans of Molly's podcast and political commentary, and also because we had Molly's mother, Erica Jong, on the show back in 2023, we were eager to connect with Molly to talk about mother-daughter dynamics, the buzz and controversy this book is getting, and—importantly—opening a vein on the page (in the tradition of Erica Jong). This interview explores betrayal, reclamation, dementia, alcoholism, narcissism, the theme of bad mother/bad daughter, and so much more. As Brooke said, this is the kind of nepo baby memoir she can get behind—so come find out why. Molly Jong‑Fast is a contributing writer at Vanity Fair and a political analyst at MSNBC. She also hosts the wonderful podcast, Fast Politics. She's the author of three previous books—Normal Girl, Girl [Maladjusted], and The Social Climber's Handbook—and has written for The Atlantic, The Daily Beast, Playboy, Glamour, Vogue, and The Forward.

More than a decade after his sudden passing, James Gandolfini still exerts a powerful pull on television and film enthusiasts around the world. His charismatic portrayal of complex, flawed, but always human men illuminated the contradictions in all of us, as well as our potential for grace, and the power of love and family. This new biography from Bailey is based on extensive research and original reporting, including interviews with friends and collaborators.In GANDOLFINI, Bailey traces the twinned stories of the man and the unforgettable roles he played. Gandolfini's roots were working class, raised in northern New Jersey as the son of Italian immigrants, and acting was something he loved for a long time before he could see it as a career. It wasn't until he was well into his bohemian twenties that he dedicated himself to a life on the stage and screen.Bailey follows Gandolfini's rise, from bit parts to character roles he enlivened with menace and vulnerability, to Tony Soprano, the breakout role that would make him a legend, and onto a post-Sopranos career in which he continued to challenge himself and his audience. The result is the definitive biography on the man behind Tony Soprano and the actor beyond that one role.  Jason Bailey is a film critic and historian and the author of six books, including Fun City Cinema: New York City and the Movies That Made It, Pulp Fiction: The Complete Story of Quentin Tarantino's Masterpiece, and his latest, Jim and Tony: The Life and Art of James Gandolfini, out in April 2025 from  ABRAMS Press. A graduate of NYU's Cultural Reporting and Criticism program, his essays and reviews have appeared in The New York Times, Vanity Fair, Bloomberg, Vulture, Rolling Stone, The Playlist, Slate, TIME, and more. He is a member of the New York Film Critics Circle and the Critics Choice Association, the editor-in-chief of Crooked Marquee, and co-host of the podcasts “Guide for the Film Fanatic,” ”A Very Good Year” and “Fun City Cinema.”

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with John Devore about his phenomenal memoir, Theatre Kids: A True Tale of Off-Off Broadway (Applause, 2024). Friendship. Grief. Jazz hands. In 2004, in a small, windowless theater in then-desolate Williamsburg, Brooklyn, an eccentric family of broke art-school survivors staged an experimental, four-hour adaptation of William Faulkner's novel As I Lay Dying inside an enormous wooden coffin that could barely fit the cast, much less an audience.The production's cast and crew—including its sweetly monomaniacal director—poured their hearts and paychecks into a messy spectacle doomed to fail by any conventional measure. It ran for only eight performances. The reviews were tepid. Fewer than one hundred people saw it. But to emotionally messy hack magazine editor John DeVore, cast at the last minute in a bit part, it was a safe space to hide out and attempt sobering up following a devastating loss.An unforgettable ode to the ephemeral, chaotic magic of the theatre and the weirdos who bring it to life, Theatre Kids is DeVore's buoyant, irreverent, and ultimately moving account of outsize ambition and dashed hopes in post-9/11, pre-iPhone New York City. Sharply observed and bursting with hilarious razzle-dazzle, it will resonate with anyone who has ever, perhaps against their better judgment, tried to bring something beautiful into the world without regard for riches or fame. About John DeVore: John DeVore is a two-time James Beard Award–winning writer and editor who has worked for The New York Post, SiriusXM, and Conan O'Brien's Team Coco. He's also written for Esquire, Vanity Fair, and Marvel Comics, among many others. John lives in Brooklyn with his partner and their one-eyed mutt. Learn more about your ad choices.

Send us a textWhen Edna O'Brien published her debut novel The Country Girls in 1960, she was branded a “Jezebel” in her native Ireland—but that didn't stop her from completing a poignant trilogy about a pair of friends coming of age in a world for which village life and convent school failed to prepare them. Despite initial backlash to her sexually frank depiction of young women's lives and desires, O'Brien's writing brought her acclaim and celebrity status—Vanity Fair dubbed her “the playgirl of the western world.” Novelist Edan Lepucki joins us to discuss the trilogy's timeless appeal and the complicated-but-endearing friendship of characters Kate Brady and Baba Brennan.Mentioned in this episode:The Country Girls trilogy by Edna O'BrienEdna O'Brien interview on BBC's “World Book Club”Time's Mouth by Edan LepuckiCalifornia by Edan LepuckiWoman No. 17 by Edan LepuckiMother's Before by Edan LepuckiItalics Mine Substack by Edan LepuckiAnne of Green Gables by L.M.

It was a delight to the eyes, but deadly for the discipleship journey with Jesus. In The Pilgrim’s Progress, Vanity Fair represents the world we live in and our need to flee to Christ.

Through her sharp and biting political commentary—whether as host of the podcast Fast Politics, as a special correspondent for Vanity Fair, or as a political analyst on MSNBC—Molly Jong-Fast has, over the past decade, become something of a household name. But, as the daughter of the once-famous author and second-wave feminist Erica Jong—whose 1973 novel Fear of Flying catapulted her into the literary limelight—she has actually been in the public eye for much longer, decades before this more recent notoriety of her own making. Jong-Fast's latest book, the searing, heartbreaking (but also, at times, hilarious) memoir How to Lose Your Mother, is in some sense an effort to take her story back after being in the shadow of her narcissistic, too often out-of-reach mother for so long. It's also a book about aging and frailty, and an extremely difficult, gut-wrenching year: In 2023, Erica was diagnosed with dementia, right around the same time that Molly's husband learned he had a rare cancer.On the episode, Jong-Fast talks about her own actual fear of flying, in addition to her mother's book of the same name; 27 years of sobriety and how her time in A.A. has transformed her life; and the importance of confronting the vicissitudes of aging and one's passage through time.Special thanks to our Season 11 presenting sponsor, Van Cleef & Arpels.Show notes:Molly Jong-Fast[4:28] “Fear of Flying” (1973)[4:28] Erica Jong[4:49] “How to Lose Your Mother: A Daughter's Memoir”[7:53] “Spartacus” (1951)[7:53] “April Morning” (1961)[7:53] “The Immigrants” (1977)[9:15] Lee Krasner[10:04] Susan Faludi[10:04] “Backlash” (1991)[12:09] “Fear and Flying Erica & Erotica in Connecticut” (1980)[12:09] “Fanny” (1980)[14:57] Marty Seif[18:26] Special Guest: Erica Jong (2023)[19:39] Pan Am Flight 001[21:11] “The Year of Magical Thinking” (2005)[21:11] “Notes to John” (2025)[26:54] “The Sex Doctors in the Basement” (2005)[36:46] “Normal Girl” (2000)[38:52] Jacob Bernstein[38:52] Carl Bernstein[38:52] Stalin Peace Prize[46:05] Michael Tomasky[48:55] Hazelden[49:57] “How Molly Jong-Fast Tweeted Her Way to Liberal Media Stardom”

On today's episode of The Right Time, Bomani Jones discusses the Oklahoma City Thunder winning Game 4 of the NBA Finals and Desmond Bane being traded. Bo starts off the show by praising Shai Gilgeous-Alexander's finish to Game 4 (2:35) and why he'd rather see SGA create space for himself than fake a fall (3:26). Bo continues by saying it's the most wide open NBA Finals we've ever seen (10:04) and jokes that Lu Dort would've been in the NFL if he was born in the United States (11:36). Bo weighs in on the Memphis Grizzlies trading Desmond Bane to the Orlando Magic by declaring that it is not a "blockbuster" (15:37) and that this may mean Ja Morant will be moved next (21:48). And finally, we have another round of If You Haven't Heard stories involving Hollywood dying, difficulties of teaching middle schoolers and private equity companies buying everything (28:52). Then Bomani listens to some voicemails about the time your mom showed up to ruin something fun.

In today's episode, bestselling author Bryan Burrough joins Ryan to explore the truth behind America's gunfighter era.

Bryan was a longtime correspondent at Vanity Fair and is now editor at large at Texas Monthly.
