Luc Tuymans talks to Ben Luke about his influences—from writers to musicians, film-makers and, of course, other artists—and the cultural experiences that have shaped his life and work. Tuymans, who was born in 1958 in Mortsel, Belgium, and lives and works in Antwerp, has transformed the territory of painting in the late 20th and 21st centuries. Using photographs and images from film and other media, he tackles a breadth of subjects and motifs, including contemporary politics, cataclysmic historical events, art history, and apparently banal everyday objects and environments, with paintings that are redolent with atmosphere and poetic power. Tuymans's process of finding the images and deciding how to transform them is slow and precise, and worked through in various stages before it reaches the canvas, where he makes the final piece in oil on a single day. In the resulting pictures, the motif can be veiled or oblique, and sometimes close to abstract, and he has used the term “authentic forgeries” to describe them. In this way, they articulate the elusiveness of representation through painting—a quality Tuymans has described as the medium's “belatedness”—as well as the subjective nature of experience and memory, both personal and collective. He discusses the early impact of Piet Mondrian and Léon Spilliaert, his ongoing admiration for Francisco de Goya, and his response to Théodore Gericault and Mark Rothko in recent series of paintings. He reflects on the importance of literature, including the writings of Thomas Pynchon, and film, especially the painterly approach of David Lynch. He gives insight into his studio life and his singular approach to image-making, and answers our usual questions, including the ultimate: what is art for?

If you thought the recent theft of the Napoleonic jewels from the Louvre was audacious then just wait for what I have in store for you today because it is one of the biggest, and I mean that literally, the biggest, art thefts in the Louvre's history. Today we are looking at Veronese's Wedding Feast at Cana, a dazzling masterpiece that once filled an entire wall of the monastery of San Giorgio Maggiore in Venice, and was proudly displayed there for more than two centuries, from its completion in 1563 until 1797 when French troops unceremoniously tore it from the wall, rolled it up and shipped it to Paris.Support this show http://supporter.acast.com/panamepodcast.

E & T are back this week talking about Amy Schumer deleting all the old photos of herself due to her recent weight loss, the pressure of how everyone in Hollywood appears to be shrinking, white knuckling body positivity, our experiences with brutal casting directors, and the mental toll of constantly looking at videos and photos of yourself on social media. The gals also discuss how comedy has changed to quantity over quality, the challenge of creating content constantly, and how everyone is now copying each other instead of trying to be original.

In today's episode, I'm talking with my friend Dawn Weisberg of Tularosa Flowers about what it actually takes to create and book large-scale luxury weddings — not just from a "pretty" standpoint, but from a strategic, energetic, and logistical one. Dawn and I both came to the wedding industry later in life with long creative careers behind us — mine in directing and acting, hers in costume design for film and television. We get into how those backgrounds shaped the way we approach weddings as world-building: cinematic, intentional, immersive, and deeply rooted in storytelling. We talk about: How Dawn went from starting florals at 45 to designing six-figure weddings in under a decade Why she treats every wedding like a film set: thinking in scenes, movement, and guest experience The behind-the-scenes systems and logistics that make large-scale productions possible How her viral "Malibu Barbie meets Marie Antoinette" pink wedding came to life — and what made it blow up online The creative process of pulling inspiration from runway shows, architecture, art, travel, and above all, the couple themselves Why color is having a moment in the luxury world and how to use it in a way that still feels timeless and elevated The mindset shifts required to feel safe holding and delivering on big budgets The role publications & Pinterest have played in her growth (and how she handles rejection like a pro) How styled shoots and editorials catapulted both of our careers into higher price points What florists actually need from photographers on a wedding day to grow their own businesses We also explore the emotional and energetic side of this work — what it's like to be genuinely obsessed with your craft, how to avoid burnout by building a business that actually feeds you, and why weddings are still the modern-day fairy tale for both couples and creatives. P.S. I'm hosting a Tuscany Real Wedding Workshop this spring — a real wedding with a real couple and 30 real guests, photographed and designed over multiple days. You'll walk away with: A full multi-day destination wedding story (engagement, welcome party, bridal editorial, wedding day, farewell event) A pre-trip mentorship to refine your brand, portfolio gaps, and shot list A post-trip call where we turn your gallery into a 90-day luxury marketing plan If your gut is saying "this is my next level," send me a DM and I'll send you the full proposal. We have very limited spots. Meet Dawn Dawn Weisberg is the owner and flower mastermind behind Tularosa Flowers, a luxury wedding design company in Southern California in the San Diego area. Voted Best Florist San Diego by California Wedding Magazine for both 2025 and 2024, she is dedicated to providing the highest level of design and service to her clients.

Discover the Venice that most tourists miss – the actual canals that Abbot Kinney built in 1905, hidden just blocks from the boardwalk's chaos. Johnny Mac explores these unexpected European waterways before heading to Abbot Kinney Boulevard, where trendy boutiques, vegan restaurants, and coffee culture define modern Venice. From the quiet reflection of morning on the canals to the curated commerce of the boulevard to the carnival atmosphere of the beach, Venice compresses California's contradictions into a few walkable square miles. It's expensive, chaotic, beautiful, and troubled – quintessentially LA.

The significance of the full title: the definition of “Moor,” the associations of Venice. Othello as a “domestic” tragedy: an inadequate designation. The play opens in darkness. Desdemona's father Brabantio is awakened when Roderigo and Iago shout vicious racist and sexist accusations out of the dark.

In this special 200th episode, Kimberly and Tommaso celebrate a milestone while discussing their upcoming move to Italy. They share insights into Italian holiday traditions and meals, offering a look at how these differ from American celebrations. Key Points: The Podcast's Journey: Kimberly and Tommaso il Favoloso reflect on 200 episodes of their podcast which they started during COVID.. Their podcast's goal has always been to share their love of Italy and offer travel insights. Future plans include returning to a weekly episode schedule after their move to Italy. Thanksgiving in America vs. Holidays in Italy: Kimberly describes the traditional American Thanksgiving meal, which has remained largely unchanged for 400 years. Tommaso shares his enjoyment of the Thanksgiving meal. The conversation shifts to Italian holiday meals, highlighting their variety and cultural significance. Visiting Italy during a holiday offers a chance to experience unique traditions and less crowded destinations. Italian Christmas Eve (La Vigilia): Most Europeans celebrate Christmas on Christmas Eve with their main meal. The traditional Christmas Eve meal in Italy is seafood, a “lean day” without meat. Italian Christmas Eve dinner begins early with aperitivo, followed by antipasti (no meat), pasta or risotto and fish as the main course. Desserts include panettone, pandoro and torrone. Kimberly recounts loud, lively Christmas Eve dinners in Milan with extended family. Italian Easter (Pasqua): For Easter, Italians eat lamb, not ham. The day starts with Colomba, a dove-shaped, sweeter version of panettone, symbolizing peace and rebirth. Eggs are important, appearing in dishes like torta pasqualina and brodetto pasquale. Artichokes, asparagus, or chicory accompany the lamb. A popular dessert is pastiera napolitana, a creamy, sweet cake from Naples. Other Italian Holidays: Italy celebrates several non-religious holidays, such as Liberation Day and Festa della Repubblica. Religious holidays like Ognissanti on November 1st involves eating Pane de Morti (bread of the dead). New Year's Eve (Capodanno) is a religious holiday focused on symbolic foods for luck and prosperity. Old school Italians eat 12 grapes at midnight for luck in each month of the year. Epifania (Epiphany) on January 6th, marks the end of the Christmas season and includes a fun tradition with La Befana, a kind witch who brings treats. Celebrations for La Befana include a regatta in Venice and a national festival in Urbania Planning Your Trip: Experiencing Italian holidays offers a chance to enjoy different cultural traditions and foods. Agriturismos or small family-run hotels are ideal for experiencing traditional holiday meals. Join us in this episode as we uncover the true essence of Italian holiday traditions, providing a realistic and enriching perspective on what to expect and enjoy.

Kent Bye—host of the Voices of VR podcast and one of XR's most prolific journalists with over 1,680 published interviews—joins Charlie and Ted for a wide ranging conversation on the state of immersive storytelling, the ethics of AI, and why XR's future might be less about consumer headsets and more about embodied presence and human connection. Kent's decade-long commitment to documenting artists, creators, and developers at the ground level offers a counterpoint to hype-driven tech coverage, revealing the messy, vital ecosystem sustaining VR through festival circuits, location-based entertainment, and government-funded experimental projects that rarely make headlines.The conversation opens with Jeff Bezos's new AI robotics company Prometheus, Amazon's one-to-one human-robot workforce parity, and the implications of industrial AI automation. Ted shares his recent appearance on cinematographer Roger Deakins's podcast, where they discussed AI as a creative tool rather than a threat—a perspective Kent echoes when discussing artists who use AI to critique AI's "colonizing force." Kent explains his philosophy of "boots on the ground" journalism inspired by Knight Ridder's Iraq War reporting, focusing on developers and creators closest to the work rather than corporate press releases.Kent reveals why he's been lukewarm on smart glasses despite industry excitement—monocular displays give him headaches, his prescription is too strong for current hardware, and most importantly, there's no compelling narrative content yet. He contrasts this with VR's rich immersive storytelling at festivals like Venice Immersive, Sundance New Frontier, IDFA DocLab, and Tribeca, where government-funded European projects push the medium's boundaries in ways U.S. startups can't afford to explore. The discussion touches on Meta's Ray-Ban AI glasses, the impracticality of Meta's neural band input, and why Snap's developer platform remains the most interesting AR ecosystem despite limited consumer traction.Guest HighlightsPublished 1,682 VR interviews with 1,000+ unpublished; focused on artists, creators, and developers over corporate narratives.Covers 30+ hours of immersive content per festival at Venice, Sundance, IDFA DocLab—documenting ephemeral art that may never distribute widely.Started in 2014 after buying Oculus DK1; began by capturing oral history at Silicon Valley VR Conference's first gathering.Background as F-22 Raptor radar systems engineer turned documentary filmmaker—blends hardcore technical knowledge with artistic sensibility.Advocates for XR as antidote to smartphone addiction—technologies that foster embodied presence rather than infinite distraction.News HighlightsJeff Bezos launches Prometheus AI robotics company—focusing on industrial applications where enterprise adoption will drive innovation faster than consumer markets.Amazon hits one-to-one human-robot workforce parity—roughly 1 million humans, 1 million robots, with plans to shed 100K+ workers over five years.Warner Brothers settles with AI music company Udio—following Axel Springer, AP, and Fox licensing deals as New York Times litigation drags on.Enterprise AI startups raise massive rounds—Stut (collections automation, $29.5M from Andreessen), Albatross (real-time personalization, $12.5M), signaling vertical-specific AI SaaS wave.HaptX acquired by Ohio manufacturer—haptic glove company pivots to industrial training applications after years targeting consumer VR.Thanks to our sponsors Zappar and VitureNew episodes every Tuesday.

Send us a textOur 2025 Culinary Thanksgiving Special is here yall. This time- with ya papa's favorite- upper end Italian and it is some better than Venice. I said it. I had it. and I know it. But this is deeper than that. It is deeper than the menu, the ambience. This is where legacies are made. And this Restaurant's story is unlike anything I have ever heard. I knew it was special, but boy Heidi. This is a unique rendition of a chef to table story.      The Late, Vincent Catalanotto Sr. learned to love and appreciate food at an early age, and then spent most of his life working in the service industry, fueling his passion for the restaurant business while allowing him to hone his innate ability to create fabulous meals and to make people happy. His years of experience as a waiter convinced him that people like to eat food that is familiar, but which has a spark of uniqueness about it.Vincent opened the first of his successful neighborhood restaurants in 1989. The "little Italian place on the side street" quickly became Metairie's hidden jewel. Vincent developed a menu that showcases the finest and freshest ingredients available. He blended his own ideas about New Orleans style Italian cooking with some things he learned while working in fine dining rooms around the city. Locals returned often because of the quality and value of the food as well as for the comfortable atmosphere created by Vincent and his well-chosen staff. It wasn't long before Vincent had more customers than chairs; the addition of a second location was inevitable.Vincent Catalanotto's son, and new proprietor of Vincent's Italian Cuisine in Matairie, Vincent Catalanotto Jr. sat down with me recently in their Metairie location. It was special. And I very much appreciate V talking to me about his one of a kind, late pops. Wow, what an inspiration. I gotta tell ya- it was so moving that the lights flickered a couple times. Not gonna lie. This one was very special.  Happy Thanksgiving you's guys. I am getting the cataloni asap!  _________________________________________________________________________Then later we welcome back our long time partners, Ochsner Children's Hospital! For first time parents, finding your new pediatrician can be a tall order.

This week's guest was a very physically fit infantry officer when he and Alex were in the same battalion. He went on to join Special Forces, but ended up being medically retired. Holistic approaches to health and fitness have featured prominently in his transition and recovery journey, and we had him on to learn what that has looked likeWill Webb is a former U.S. Army Special Forces officer who now supports Veterans through holistic wellness and mental health work. Growing up in a military family and later graduating from West Point, Will spent a decade in service until a career-ending injury forced him to slow down and confront how deeply the mind, body, and spirit are connected.That transition led him on a personal healing journey, including a life-changing ayahuasca retreat in Peru that helped him reconnect with his spirituality, face his shadow, and find a new path aligned with service and purpose.Will now works with Heroic Hearts Project and the Truxtun Foundation, two nonprofits offering holistic options for Veterans. He's also earning his Master's in Clinical Psychology at Antioch University, specializing in Spiritual and Depth Psychology.Based in Venice, California, Will shares the practices that supported his own recovery - surfing, yoga, sound healing, and transformational life coaching - helping others regulate their nervous systems, cultivate resilience, and step into alignment with their truth as they navigate the next chapter in their lives.elevatedventuring.comOr email him at: will.webb@heroicheartsproject.orgHeroic Hearts Project and Truxtun Foundationhttps://warriorside.org/ Learn about the use of MDMA with soldiers in Ukraine here: https://www.lucid.news/maps-mdma-assisted-therapy-ukraine-war/ Some examples of Icaros can be found here: https://open.spotify.com/playlist/2ZyDBxPNqRvAUJQEk2hFVC?si=e51a305efd38464f

This week, I'm speaking with Barbie Herron Conkling. The localism of southern California's surf breaks has become legendary, but few can claim local status more than Barbie. With a family history stretching all the way back to the early days of Venice, her relatives literally built the beach communities in which she has spent most of her life.Growing up in a home which often mirrored the wild west atmosphere that was Malibu in the 1970's, Barbie developed a spirituality which would serve her throughout her teenage years and well into adulthood. She became a mother at a young age, giving birth to her eldest son, Lyon which she describes as ‘instant soul recognition', and the two began a journey that was lifetimes in the making. As Barbie helped Lyon navigate a myriad of health challenges, she was forced to address her own struggle with addiction, being a single mother, and the reality of raising two other children, all while running a non-profit.While she may shrug it off as master multitasking, Barbie's ability to gracefully navigate the challenges life has presented her, and still find time to help those less fortunate, lends a heavy dose of credence to the notion that moms really can do it all. During the course of our conversation, we discuss her dual realities, the importance of being of service, and why she can so often be found wearing a hat.It is my pleasure to present Barbie Herron Conkling on The Days Between..

Whether you've been dreaming of Italy forever or you're a regular visitor, no doubt you understand the pull of this remarkable place - its history, beauty, art and architecture, food, wine and friendly people.

“If I had been enslaved for a year or two, I might not be able to believe in humanity any more.” “I am a victim of modern slavery.” These chilling words come from a Taiwanese female lured by a fake job offer, only to be sold into a scam compound in Cambodia. She is not alone. She is one of thousands deceived into this industry—people who left home hoping for a better life, only to find themselves trapped in a living nightmare. Scam: Inside Southeast Asia's Cybercrime Compounds (Verso Books, 2025) arrives at a critical moment, shedding light on one of the world's fastest-growing criminal economies: Southeast Asia's online scam industry. Running the gamut from the notorious “pig butchering” romance scams to elaborate online extortion and investment frauds, this system has transformed parts of the region into global hubs of cybercrime. Meticulously researched and grounded in years of fieldwork, Scam offers an unflinching look into the prison-like compounds that have mushroomed across multiple countries. Within these walled complexes, victims are often coerced into becoming perpetrators—trapped in what the authors describe as “compound capitalism,” a chilling hybrid of enslavement and exploitation. Scam traces how small-scale online gambling rings evolved into an international “scamdemic,” accelerated by the disruptions of COVID-19. It examines the “victim–offender trap”, a moral and psychological paradox that makes empathy difficult for outsiders. The result is a deeply human investigation into how modern slavery adapts to digital capitalism. The authors uncover the operations of scam compounds across Southeast Asia. In my interview with Ling and Ivan, what stood out was not only their depth of knowledge but their compassion. They used their skills to build trust with victims, gather evidence, and, in some cases, help orchestrate rescues. Their work is both rigorous and profoundly humane, illuminating a crisis that grows more complex each day. Though many of those involved—both perpetrators and victims—are ethnically Chinese, the networks now span continents. The scam compounds are a global phenomenon, built on economic desperation, weak governance, and digital interconnectivity. Scam is more than an exposé. It is a call to action and a vital first step toward understanding a new form of global exploitation—where modern technology and ancient cruelty combine to create a system that enslaves the vulnerable and profits from despair. Ling Li is pursuing a PhD at Ca' Foscari University of Venice with a focus on the role of technology in enabling modern slavery and human trafficking in East and Southeast Asia. In the past few years, she has been providing support to survivors of scam compounds in Southeast Asia, interacting with local and international civil society organisations to bring them relief and help with repatriation. Ivan Franceschini is a lecturer at the Asia Institute, University of Melbourne. His current research focuses on ethnic Chinese transnational crime, especially in the field of online fraud. He co-founded the Made in China Journal and The People's Map of Global China/ Global China Pulse. His books include Proletarian China (2022), Global China as Method (2022), and Afterlives of Chinese Communism (2019). He also co-directed the documentaries Dreamwork China (2011) and Boramey (2021). Mark Bo is a researcher who has been based in East and Southeast Asia for 2 decades. He has worked globally with local civil society partners to monitor and advocate for improved environmental and social practices in development projects and utilises his background in corporate and financial mapping to investigate stakeholders involved in Asia's online gambling, fraud, and money laundering industries. Bing Wang receives her PhD at the University of Leeds in 2020. Her research interests include the exploration of overseas Chinese cultural identity and critical heritage studies. She is also a freelance translator. Learn more about your ad choices.

Sometime around the year 1450, a monk living just outside of Venice created one of the greatest maps of the medieval world.  It was an enormous map, even by modern standards, and it had a level of detail that had never been seen before.  It took years to make and was a major advancement in cartography.  Perhaps most importantly, it contained many details that no one had yet verified firsthand.  Learn more about the Fra Mauro map, how it was created, and its significance on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
