Tom Irwin is once again joined by Dan Murphy and Matt Chivers on the NCG Golf Podcast, in the media centre at Royal Birkdale, on day one of the 154th Open Championship. The trio get into the players who they thought could win, and how they have respectively started, before tackling how the golf course is playing. What have been the toughest holes, and which is the hardest nine holes? After discussing the contrast in conditions between the morning and afternoon in Southport Tom, Dan and Matt also get into the distance debate - something that is almost impossible to avoid at these venues. With players like Rory McIlroy driving par 4 greens from over 400 yards away, can golf courses ever win this battle with technology and distance, and what does it mean for the future?

Paul Evans is the CEO of Solutions Leisure, one of the most recognised hospitality brands in the UAE with 23 venues across the region. But that is not the reason we brought him in. He grew up dyslexic and spent years being told he wasn't enough, and the decisions he made in his early twenties landed him in a UK prison cell at 21. What followed was years of searching for something he couldn't name, until his body made the decision for him. While building a business in Egypt, acute pancreatitis brought on by years of serious alcohol abuse put Paul in a coma for 77 days. He woke up with a different set of priorities and the kind of clarity that only comes when you have had to earn the right to still be here. This conversation goes places most successful people never go publicly. He talks about what accountability really looks like when you stop blaming everything else, about the real price of starting over from nothing, and about why a man who has built all of this still believes that success has nothing to do with what you build. Some conversations change how you think about things. Timestamps: 00:00 — Introduction Spencer introduces Paul Evans and Solutions Leisure. 19:30 — Growing Up: Dyslexic, Bullied and Written Off Paul on his childhood in Cheshire, being diagnosed with dyslexia, the bullying, a distant father, and the moment at 14 when he decided to prove everyone wrong. 25:36 — Going to Prison at 21 An altercation. A 12-month sentence. Six months served across Walton and Kirkham prisons in the UK. Paul on what he took from it. 31:07 — From General Electric to a Bar in Egypt After prison, Paul builds a successful career in sales at General Electric. Then makes an accidental £30,000 investment in a bar in Hurghada, Egypt and never looks back. 35:43 — The Spiral: When It All Started to Fall Apart The Egypt years. Running his father's diving business, managing his own bar, and the heavy drinking and long hours that quietly took everything to the edge. 38:20 — 77 Days in a Coma Acute pancreatitis. An emergency flight to England. Seventy-seven days in a coma while his family lived in Singapore. The most intense part of the conversation. 56:19 — Building Solutions Leisure: 20 Venues in Dubai Paul on arriving in Dubai, founding Solutions Leisure from scratch, and building one of the most recognised hospitality portfolios in the UAE. 1:10:12 — Finding Purpose and Getting a Life Coach What do you do when you have everything and still feel lost? Paul on finding direction, working with a life coach, and the advice he gives people who feel stuck. 1:13:38 — The Daily Practice That Changed Everything Three things. Every morning. The gratitude habit Paul picked up through coaching that he says shifted everything. 1:14:04 — Selling 50% of the Business Paul on the decision to sell half of Solutions Leisure to Sunset Hospitality, the timing, and why he has no regrets. 1:14:58 — How He Saved 400 Jobs During COVID The pandemic. The decisions nobody talks about. Paul on how he kept 400 people employed when most of the industry was collapsing around him. 1:20:57 — Quick Fire Round No alcohol. Daily gym. Surround yourself with the right people. Fast, unfiltered, and completely honest.

Hello Groovers, This week's Liquid Sunshine traces the evolution of gospel from its spiritual roots through the dancefloor, starting with classic soul-gospel foundations before ascending into the ecstatic realms of gospel disco and ultimately gospel house. From Andrew Gibson's gratitude through The Clarke Sisters' overwhelming holy ghost overdose to Barbara Tucker's iconic "I Get Lifted" and the remixed glory of Alicia Myers and Patchwork's Joubert Singers, these are big vocals, transcendent melodies, and unshakeable faith meeting the beat that makes bodies move. It's two hours that prove gospel music never left the church—it just found new sanctuaries on the dancefloor, where elevation happens through both spirit and rhythm.

Hello Groovers, This week's Liquid Sunshine celebrates the art of the re-edit—exploring the infinite possibilities of disco classics reimagined through contemporary ears: re-edits, remixes, regrooves, and every variation of reworking that keeps timeless tracks alive and dancing. From Dimitri From Paris' surgical touch on Chic's "Le Freak" to Jacques Renault's elegant reinterpretations and Futurecast's funky regroove of James Brown, these producers prove that great music isn't fixed—it's alive, malleable, and endlessly reinterpretable. It's two hours that celebrate both the originals and the artists brave enough to reimagine them, proving that sometimes the best way to honour a classic is to give it new life.

New Zealand’s hospitality scene feels like it’s at a crossroads. On one hand, cafés, bars and restaurants are battling a brutal mix of rising costs, mounting debts and changing consumer habits. Venues are closing, owners are exhausted, and many are wondering how much longer they can hang on. On the other, Aotearoa has just taken a historic step onto the global culinary stage, with the launch of its first ever Michelin Guide and Kiwi restaurants receiving coveted stars. It’s a moment that could reshape tourism, attract high‑value visitors, and shine a new spotlight on the talent in our kitchens. Today on The Front Page, Hospitality NZ’s Kristy Phillips is with us to talk about how tough things really are, what the Michelin Guide could mean for the sector, and whether there is genuine light at the end of the tunnel for New Zealand hospitality.

Christchurch's new stadium has put its stamp on the city, pumping $21 million into the economy in just 60 days. One NZ Stadium was forecast to generate $50 million in a year. The project was also completed six weeks early and $26 million under budget. Venues Otautahi chief executive Caroline Harvie-Teare told Mike Hosking they're absolutely flying – it's well beyond what they had forecast. She says things will flatten off a bit now that Super Rugby Pacific is over, but they have a really strong event pipeline, so those numbers are going to continue.

Hello Groovers, This week's Liquid Sunshine is OG disco 12"—but not the mainstream stuff that everyone knows, this is the deep cuts and hot fire that defined the real underground dancefloors. From Kleeer's relentless groove and Loose Joints' raw sexuality to lesser-known heat like Virile Holt's "Hot Love" and Visual's hypnotic funk-disco fusion, these are the tracks that serious collectors hunt for and DJs fight over.

(They are both speaking about this on 10th June at the Music Cities Convention in Hull, FYI.)** As ever, our Patreon Superfans get the full interviews – with 50% extra conversation! Become a Superfan of the podcast for free – and enjoy the exclusive weekly Lock-in bonus section! **We talk about the important stuff that fans care about: surge ticket pricing, local grassroots venues, music fan associations and more – and it's all built on the results of the UK's Fan–led Review of Live and Electronic Music, the House of Commons committee special report that Lord Brennan oversaw. He explains what he learned and what can – and should – be done next. Then Shain explains why live music must be treated as a "vital public good" – i.e. just like libraries or the NHS – and how people like you can build real political heft, in order to save their struggling local spaces. Lord Brennan reflects on his past work with the Music Streaming Inquiry, examining how parliamentary reports can ripple out to create real-world impact for creators, even when they don't instantly become law.Essential learnings from the live fans' report: From transport and safety to fair ticketing, Lord Brennan boils down the core pillars that everyday music lovers actually care about.The surge pricing backlash: The data doesn't lie – fans are united in their hatred of dynamic ticket surging. We discuss the urgent need for primary market transparency and why standard "free-market" arguments don't apply to the emotional experience of a gig.Shain Shapiro breaks down how society has prioritised the passive consumption of music (the noun) while deprioritising community participation (the verb), leading to the isolation of modern music fans.Why you should know your ward councillor. Shain outlines how forming local "Music Fan Associations" can force local councils to unlock underutilised property and rethink how spaces are used.The 24-Hour Dictators: Both guests flex their imaginary emergency powers to fix the ecosystem, including slashing VAT on tickets, restructuring property business rates, and mandating grassroots funding.As ever, we welcome your feedback, emails and – in particular – any questions you might have about how the music biz works!Email us: thepriceofmusicpodcast@gmail.comSee you next week!Stuart and Joe======TPOM online: http://tpom.uk/Support The Price of Music on Patreon:https://www.patreon.com/ThePriceofMusicFollow Stuart on X - @stuartdredgeFollow The Price of Music on X - @PriceofMusicpodFor sponsorship opportunities, please email - joe@musically.com

Mark Edge speaks with Eric Brakey, Executive Director of the Free State Project, at the Libertarian National Convention about why concentrating libertarians in one state is producing real, measurable wins — while national third-party politics keeps spinning its wheels. They cover the culture of accomplishment over endless philosophical debates, New Hampshire's unique citizen legislature, the New Hampshire Liberty Alliance's scorecard system, and why the Free State may be libertarianism's best shot at lasting change.

Joe Fried has a theory about why verdict values stay low in conservative states. “If there are cases where somebody's asking for $30, $50 million, and they're not getting it, I may need to listen to that. But if nobody is asking for that – if they're asking for $5 million in a wrongful death case – then of course they're not getting $30.” The celebrated trucking litigator returns to TLU to share lessons from two recent cases: a $2.3–$2.4 million verdict and a near-$100 million settlement. Tune in to this conversation with host Dan Ambrose for a masterclass in finding hidden trucking coverage, mediating at the start negotiation, and managing fear – but not getting rid of it entirely. After all, your client hired you to be their voice. “I hope you feel the weight of it.”Train and Connect with the Titans☑️ Joe Fried | LinkedIn☑️ Fried Goldberg | Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn | X | YouTube☑️ Trial Lawyers University☑️ TLU On Demand Instant access to live lectures, case analysis, and skills training videos☑️ TLU on X | Facebook | Instagram | LinkedIn☑️ Subscribe Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube2026 Programming☑️ TLU Beach, June 3-6, Huntington Beach, CAEpisode SnapshotJoe describes a back-to-back trial calendar year in which cases repeatedly resolved days — or even the morning — before trial.In Newport News, Joe represented the family of a teenager who was killed when the car he was riding in struck the rear corner of an illegally parked tractor-trailer.The jury returned a verdict of $2.3–2.4 million — beating the defense's pre-trial offers by roughly a million dollars.In a different case, Joe represented a 10-month-old girl who was left an incomplete quadriplegic after a truck rear-ended her 16-year-old mother's car. The life care plan was approximately $30 million – and the case settled for just under $100 million.At the upcoming TLU Beach, Joe will present on these topics: applying trucking methodologies to non-nine-figure trucking cases (Thursday); understanding his updated “speed trial” approach (Friday), and then back-to-back sessions on connecting with witnesses and covering trucking cases from the basics through advanced strategies (Saturday).Produced and Powered by LawPods
The EV industry is evolving fast and so are the biggest automotive and technology festivals in America. On this episode of the Turn Down For Watt Podcast, we sit down with BJ Birtwell, founder of Electrify Expo and the newly expanded Demo Days Festival, to discuss why one of the nation's largest EV-focused touring events is transforming into a massive future mobility festival featuring EVs, hybrids, robotics, Tesla Optimus, air mobility, eVTOL aircraft, autonomous technology, and hands-on demos from major OEMs and brands like Tesla, Rivian, Lucid, Ford, Toyota, and more.
This week on the New Music Business podcast, Ari sits down with Red Leather, the anonymous artist who turned viral TikTok videos into sold-out tours around the world. Known for his signature red hat, Red Leather first started his career by busking on Hollywood Boulevard before exploding online with viral covers and original songs like “The Only Time It Rains in Hollywood.” In this episode, Red Leather breaks down how he used social media to grow his audience from scratch, why he posted 5 videos a day for 100 straight days, how smashing guitars outside Capitol Records landed him a record deal (that he turned down), and why ticket sales matter more than streams or viral moments. He also opens up about sobriety, surviving addiction, touring independently, and eventually partnering with Empire after years of doing everything DIY.Follow Red Leather:Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/redleather/TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@redleatherCheck out Ari's Take:https://aristake.com00:04:02 - Intro00:04:36 - The Origin of Red Leather00:06:39 - Sobriety, Addiction & Artistic Vulnerability00:10:11 - Posting 5 Videos a Day for 100 Days00:14:11 - The Viral TikTok That Changed Everything00:20:00 - Smashing Guitars Outside Capitol Records00:25:12 - Why He Turned Down Major Label Deals00:33:28 - Booking Tours Through Instagram DMs00:47:23 - Virality vs Real Fans & Ticket Sales01:01:58 - What “Making It” Means TodayEdited and mixed by Ruben ZarateMusic by Brassroots DistrictProduced by the team at Ari's TakeOrder the THIRD EDITION of How to Make It in the New Music Business: https://book.aristake.com Hosted on Acast.

Arkells are at a stage of success where they can easily sell out large amphitheatres across Canada. But with their new record Between Us, the band has chosen to do something different with the tour: city takeovers. Instead of booking large venues for one night, the boys are spending multiple days in Canadian cities, playing smaller stages and more intimate shows. Arkells frontman Max Kerman and guitarist Mike DeAngelis tell Tom Power why they wanted to replicate what it felt like in the early days, and what both they and the fans get out of small, up-close-and-personal shows.
Venues aren't looking for artists who need them, they're looking for artists who are ready. Host Alyson Stanfield introduces the attraction method: a way of building genuine relationships with venues long before you ever make an ask. For alternative venues, the timeline from first contact to a yes can be weeks instead of years. In this episode, Alyson covers: Why readiness is more than finished work, and what signals to a venue that you're prepared How alternative venues operate on an entirely different timeline than galleries The research and in-person visit steps that show a space you're worth talking to What separates "Can I show my art here?" from an opener that actually starts a conversation Why consistent, genuine presence means venues sometimes do the asking before you do Visit this episode's page for all resources MENTIONED Beyond White Walls workshop Elevate Your Art workshop RELATED EPISODES The artists who don't wait to be chosen (264) Use the attraction method for art venues before you make the ask (265) Email me to discuss strategic consulting for your long-term career goals.
