Podcast appearances and mentions of Woody Allen

Hey everyone, welcome back for a very special episode of The Woody Allen Retrospective Podcast.   If this is your first time listening to WARP - perhaps you've found us through YouTube, Reddit or somewhere else, a very big welcome to you! You've actually arrived at a pretty exciting time in this project.   Today, your gracious hosts, Don and James finally sit down to tell their Woody Allen stories properly while touching base on the future retrospective   DON'T WORRY THIS ISN'T A GREATEST HITS EPISODE :P   This episode turns out to be a very honest discussion on every element of WARP. Going back to its starter days we call Phase 01, our growth into Phase 02 and how we eventually arrived here, planning and executing the last  Phase 03 together....   but that is just OUR story, we actually want to hear yours as part of our final curtain call!   To that end, we are hoping to produce a special Woody Allen community episode built around the people who have listened to, watched and discovered Woody Allen's films themselves - that means YOU   How did you discover Woody Allen - What was your first film - Did somebody introduce you to his work? Which film made everything click? - Have you fallen out of love with one whilst rediscovering another   We would especially love AUDIO submissions for this community episode and we are making this process quite painless for our listeners :)   WARP is an audio only podcast, so if you're comfortable doing so, please send us a voicemail through our free SpeakPipe service. Don't worry about sounding polished or rehearsed. We want real stories from real listeners.   It only takes a few taps on your smartphone or laptop / computer, all you need is a microphone attached and your good to go!   Written submissions are welcome too via email. Unless you specifically ask us not to, written contributions will be converted into audio using a neural voice(s) for inclusion in the episode. If you'd prefer not to use a neural voice, just tell us and James can read your contribution instead. Your actual voice is always our first choice though.   You don't need to give your full name either - a first name or another name you're comfortable using is absolutely fine, use an alias if you like!

Three people come within reach of what they want and are nearly undone grabbing for it. Karen Ibarra brings a self-described nerd's devotion to a heated Los Angeles delegate election, where bad blood between two party factions turns personal. David Zellnik spends his childhood worshipping the stage, then auditions for the bad-boy role he wants most in his high school's production of Oliver!, only for the director to pull him aside with a wounding notion about which part he should play. And thanks to EST's "Truth Be Told", the New York show and podcast where this story first appeared. Amy Sohn hits bottom and pins everything on an elderly Manhattan analyst for one ridiculous reason, a rumor that he is Woody Allen's therapist, then sinks into his Freudian world without admitting why she came.

Johnny Mac cold-reads and reacts to Rolling Stone's “50 Best Stand-Up Comics of All Time” list from Feb. 14, 2017, noting the magazine's modern-stand-up criteria and reassessing choices nearly a decade later. He questions or comments on many rankings (including Wanda Sykes, Aziz Ansari, Reggie Watts, Tig Notaro, Patton Oswalt, Jonathan Winters, Mitch Hedberg, and others), flags some comics as forgotten, and highlights entries like Gary Shandling, Dick Gregory, Redd Foxx, Rodney Dangerfield, Eddie Murphy, and Dave Chappelle. He discusses the complications of figures like Woody Allen, Bill Cosby, and Louis C.K., and explains that Louis C.K.'s cancellation came after the list. He concludes that a current list would differ, citing names like John Mulaney and Nate Bargatze and noting omissions such as Jim Gaffigan. Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/daily-comedy-news-with-johnny-mac--4522158/support.Today's DCN is brought to you by MyBookie use promo code DCN!Daily Comedy News is hosted by Johnny Mac and releases every weekday.

In this episode of the Big Bad Broadcast, we dive into a lively and humorous discussion about trying to book a performance at the Magic Castle after a long hiatus. Here is the link to the Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AI4iNmbWjHU We reflect on the challenges of gaining recognition in the industry, especially when working with new management. The conversation shifts to the pressures of performing in front of live audiences and the nerves that come with it, as both John and Mike reminisce about their experiences with famous personalities and the intimidation that can arise from working alongside them. We also touch on the absurdities of celebrity culture, including a funny anecdote about running into Keith Richards and Woody Allen. The episode takes a light-hearted turn as we discuss the quirks of our pets, particularly how our dogs can be picky eaters and how they seem to have a better sense of taste than we might expect. Throughout the episode, we share laughs, stories, and insights into the world of entertainment, making it a fun and relatable listen for anyone who enjoys comedy, magic, and the ups and downs of show business. Join us for a good time filled with laughter and camaraderie! Hey, we had some fun. 3, 2, 1. Gotta run.

A Licence to Confuse and a Swinging Sixties Spectacle For episode 203 of the Reel Britannia podcast, we are tumbling down a deeply psychedelic cinematic rabbit hole with the delightfully baffling 1967 spoof, Casino Royale.   The premise, should you choose to try and follow it, sees the original, legendary Sir James Bond (David Niven) coaxed out of a genteel retirement to take down the nefarious syndicate SMERSH. His tactical masterstroke? Confusing the enemy by renaming every single active agent—male or female—James Bond. Naturally, absolute chaos ensues.   Produced by Charles K. Feldman and steered by a famously sprawling committee of writers and directors, the film boasts a dizzying, star-studded cast that includes Peter Sellers, Ursula Andress, Woody Allen, and Orson Welles. But the real question we're asking this week is where exactly this extravagant behemoth fits into the 007 canon. Scott is joined by Steven, Tony, and Mark to figure out if the film is strictly for the die-hard fans, an odd little cinematic curio, a completely disjointed mess, or simply a wonderfully unhinged snapshot of the swinging sixties. Expect our familiar warm, conversational, and lightly irreverent style as we try to make sense of the glorious excess of it all.   This episode, along with the complete Reel Britannia back catalogue, is available wherever listeners download their podcasts and at: https://directory.libsyn.com/shows/view/id/reelbritannia Listeners can also keep up with our latest ramblings and follow the podcast on X at @rbritanniapod.   If you're enjoying the show, do bear in mind that special bonus episodes are available through the Reel Britannia Patreon, inviting listeners to support the podcast and enjoy even more of our late-night film discussions. #CasinoRoyale #JamesBond #DavidNiven #PeterSellers #SwingingSixties #BritishCinema #ReelBritannia #Podcast #007 #ClassicFilm

Hey folks! It is I, Donald Wunder, flying solo for a very long-awaited discussion on Woody Allen's first novel: What's With Baum? — released last year in 2025.   Yup, that's right — at the age of 89, after more than 50 films, numerous plays, collections of short stories and an autobiography, Woody Allen finally did something he'd never done before: he published his first novel.   And saying that just feels odd! It really feels like he's always had a novel out there in some form, but nope… this is the first — and hopefully not the last!   Now, of course, us being THE WARP, we were always gonna do a podcast on it. The original plan was for myself and James to have this discussion together, as we both did with Woody's memoir, but unfortunately… BLAME JAMES LOL… things just kept getting delayed. So I'm doing this podcast solo, and hopefully we'll get James's take on the book whenever he eventually completes it!   By the by — did you see our new podcast artwork, new logo and email address?   We've got a whole bunch of new updates as we officially begin the third and final phase of the show — stay tuned!   Anyway…  In this special solo edition of WARP, I start things off with my normal introduction before getting into my thoughts on the book. I also really wanted you guys to actually hear Woody himself talking about What's With Baum?, but finding a substantial interview where he discusses the novel proved surprisingly difficult. So I've spliced together some of the best parts I could find from a much longer interview, which you'll hear during the episode.   I then give my spoiler-free review, get our trusty podcast assistant to take the temperature of both the reader and professional critical response to the book, and finally end things with my FULL SPOILER thoughts.   I will say that I rather enjoyed the audiobook version of the novel, voiced by Woody himself, and I implore you all to check that version out. You can pretty much listen to it for free using Audible's one-month free trial — all the relevant links are below. And looking ahead…   NEXT MONTH — SEPTEMBER 2026 — me and James are figuring out a way to do something LIVE where we can properly interact with our followers.   It may be a YouTube livestream, possibly Twitch (doubtful

Vanessa Feltz has spent more than thirty years at the heart of British television. I built Heretics outside it. We began by agreeing that television had become sanitised. Within minutes, she was asking whether I was ashamed of myself. What follows is a collision between two very different ideas of public conversation: one prioritises care and responsibility; the other prioritises bluntness and freedom. You decide which one the future belongs to. Sub to her new show here: https://www.youtube.com/@VanessaFeltzYouTube Following the sudden end of her Channel 5 programme, Vanessa reveals how Paramount pulled the plug, why terrestrial television is losing its audience and what decades in British broadcasting taught her about censorship, controversy and the shrinking space for unscripted opinions. But the agreement doesn't last. A throwaway remark about Loose Women becomes an accusation of misogyny and ageism. Vanessa explains why she deplores my decision to interview Katie Hopkins, questions whether controversial figures deserve a platform and reveals whether she would invite Woody Allen into her home. Then, after Vanessa asks what I have said that made me unacceptable to mainstream television, the interview takes its most dramatic turn. We clash over transgender identity, pronouns, detransition, compelled speech and whether genuine compassion means affirming somebody's identity—or being willing to tell them something they do not want to hear. At one point, Vanessa calls me “nasty”. Shortly afterwards, she announces that she has lost the will to live. But the arguments are only half the story. Vanessa also speaks with startling honesty about growing up with parents who rarely expressed love, being made to feel grateful to any man who chose her and why she has never sustained a successful relationship. She opens up about the cruelty she experienced over her weight, starving and dehydrating herself before televised weigh-ins on Celebrity Fit Club, the gastric band that became embedded in her liver and why she wishes Mounjaro and Wegovy had existed before she underwent gastric bypass surgery. There are also extraordinary stories involving Madonna, Katie Price, Woody Harrelson, Jeff Goldblum, The Big Breakfast and the famous guests who behaved very strangely after climbing into bed with Vanessa. Was Vanessa defending kindness and responsibility—or the instincts that made mainstream television frightened of real conversation? Was I defending honesty and free expression—or simply being provocative for its own sake? Watch until the end and decide for yourself. The way the conversation concludes may surprise you.

It's the time of the year when, if you're lucky, your neighbors will offer you some lovely vine-ripened tomatoes that are so much better than the cardboard things they sell at the supermarket. Movie theaters are also offering some interesting things. We've been sampling so of what they have to offer and we start with "The Dog Stars." It's a post-apocalyptic (yeah, one of those again) movie but this one is directed by (Sir) Ridley Scott and stars Jacob Elordi, Josh Brolin and of course, Margaret Qualley. She's in everything. Bill McCuddy saw it and he'll tell you all about it. We've also got the movie the Warner Bros bean counters didn't want you to see: "Coyote vs Acme." Bill McCuddy and Bill Bregoli both saw it and laughed like crazy. We've also got "Tony" which is about one summer in the life of Anthony Bourdain and a very strange movie called "It Ends" which the twenty-somethings are crazy about. For you streaming fans there's "Prey" and "Agent Zero." Plus Neil Rosen has news of yet another Woody Allen film and he tells us about interview shows he's been watching on YouTube. We'll get him out of the house soon. So, listen in!

Steve Preda here with the Management Blueprint Podcast. Today, my guest is Victor Penev, the Founder and CEO of Edamam LLC. Edamam is helping people eat better by making daily food choices simple and easy, eventually organizing all the food knowledge in the world. To that end, the company has built a proprietary semantic food knowledge base and is creating, on top of it, a range of consumer and business applications to solve real-world, everyday problems. Wow. Victor, welcome to the show.  Thank you. Good to be here. I’m very excited.  So I was shocked to learn that you’ve got 900,000 foods in the system and 2.3 million recipes. I mean, I don’t know who is even able to create so many recipes. So how did that whole thing come about? How did you come up with this idea? Are you a foodie?  I am a foodie. Yeah, that’s kind of the origin story. I’m a serial entrepreneur. I’ve done a few startups. I had a successful exit about 15 years ago. A friend of mine and I built Bulgaria’s largest internet company. Then I started looking for what to do next. I was actually going to start a news organization, but then I realized one day, on a beach in Thailand, that I think about food five hours a day, and I cook every day.  So I might as well do something around food that helps people. I married my passion for food with my passion for technology and built a company.Share on X The problem we set out to solve back then is still a very valid problem. People need the right information, just in time, to make the right food choices. The data is always inconsistent, incomplete, and lacking. So we set out to organize the world’s food knowledge so we can help people make the right food choices.  Wow, this is fascinating. So what is your personal ‘Why’ that you’re manifesting in this business?  So, in terms of philosophy—and my philosophy changes. Everybody’s personal philosophy changes over time. But where I am right now, I think there are a couple of things that really matter if you want to live what one would call the good life—a meaningful life. One is to be really present in the moment. You know, be here now. The other is to help people. I think my business falls into…Share on X For us, the measure of success is not revenue or profit.  It’s how many people we ultimately reach through our data. It’s worth noting that we’re a business-to-business company, so we don’t reach people directly. But we have partnerships with companies like Nestlé, Microsoft, Amazon, and Food Network. Through those partnerships, we think we reach at least a billion people. For us, that’s the real measure of success.  Helping everybody eat better and live longer, healthier lives. My vision is that everybody can live to 120 without chronic illness or mental conditions. A big part of that is food. So we're trying to help people. That's my 'Why'.Share on X  Yeah, I love it. Obviously, eating healthy is a big thing. You know, garbage in, garbage out. This is fascinating. Do you find that certain cultures have better eating habits than others? And what drives it?  I think history and geography, to some extent. Everybody knows about the Mediterranean diet. And it’s not only the countries around the Mediterranean. Vietnamese and Japanese cuisine are Mediterranean in the composition of the food. A lot of it comes from being close to water, living in a certain climate, and having a huge variety of fruits, vegetables, and fish. But I think the biggest change over the last hundred years hasn’t been culture. It’s been technology—quote-unquote—and the processing of food so it’s shelf-stable, can be shipped, and sold at a lower price.  I think that’s the biggest problem. It’s changing eating habits everywhere in the world. It’s very well known in the United States and, to some extent, in Western Europe. But even places like Japan are starting to eat a lot more processed food. Mexico is starting to eat a lot more processed food. This is more technology-driven than anything else. If I had to say one thing that would help people, it would be this: Go back to your roots. Get food directly from the soil. Cook it at home. It's a question of time and effort, but if you value your health, that's one of the best investments you…Share on X  Yeah, as we’re getting busier and busier, the opportunity cost of cooking our own meals is becoming higher. And that’s the real problem.  It is a problem. I mean, it’s a question of priority. I cook every day. I’m very busy, but for me, it’s an important enough thing. Food, apart from nourishment and nutrition, is also a very social thing. People connect through food and spend time together, and that’s another thing that correlates very well with longevity and a well-lived life. So there’s a lot more to be said about having good food.  Yeah, I think Woody Allen said in one of his movies that eating together is the second sexiest thing to do, or something like that.  Yeah, there you go. I’m not going to ask what the first one is.  Yeah. That’s awesome. So let’s talk about frameworks. This podcast is all about frameworks. What’s a framework that you’ve discovered along the way that helps you think about your business, create outcomes in your business, help other people be productive, or whatever it is that’s driving results in your business?  A couple of things come to mind. I’ll start with the non-obvious one. Some people speak about it, but I’ve practiced it, and I think going slow gets you further. You know, the hare and the tortoise. I am definitely against growth for growth’s sake. That drives a lot of decisions: who you raise money from, how you run your business, and so on. Over the years—and I’ve been an entrepreneur for probably close to 40 years—I’ve discovered that every successful product has its timing and its soul.  You just have to let it come to fruition. Sometimes that means slowing down instead of rushing forward. For me, being deliberate about the end goal without having time constraints is a framework that’s always helped me. It’s not for everyone. Definitely not for the modern world, where VC money is trying to get you to grow very fast, and everybody competes based on how fast their revenue or customer base has grown.  But I find that this does not lead to lasting results in terms of impacting humanity and having a meaningful life—both for yourself and for everybody in the company. So that’s one framework. The other, which is also very simple, though not too many people execute it, is just: treat people like people. This means there’s no hierarchy in my company. I’m super proud to say that in my last company, I never had an employee leave. And that was over 15 years.  It’s because I treat people as people. Going back to the Latin origin of the word companion, companio, which means “to break bread together.” We are a band of people breaking bread together on a journey. That’s how it works. That means doing things that are not intuitive in business. For example, having no advance notice requirement for vacations. If you want to take a vacation, take it now. Giving responsibility to people and treating them well. Those are the two frameworks that I think have helped me. In addition, making decisions democratically, which is a very contentious thing in business. Okay.  So how do you do that?  There is always, ultimately, an arbiter, which is oftentimes me or some kind of board. But that means having a robust discussion around a topic without preconceived notions of what the end decision or result should be. Creating a culture where everybody can speak up, argue, and tell you they disagree with you. Having that freedom creates an intellectual environment where people really debate.Share on X  At the end, more often than not, the obvious decision emerges. It takes a long time, but the reality is that once a decision is made, everybody has bought into it, and it’s usually the right decision. So I don’t make wrong turns. Now, there are times when it’s a coin flip. There are two equally good—or equally bad—options, and somebody has to make the call. Then it falls to me. But for the most part, it’s democratic decision-making.  So how do you cultivate that? How do you foster it? How do you make sure people contribute to it?  I’ve had the luxury of starting a company from scratch. It’s a lot easier to do when you start from scratch because you establish the culture with the first hire. It’s a lot harder to change a culture and instill new values. For me, it's been a very deliberate choice about what I want the company to be. People working together toward a common goal. People who don't get overworked. People who always have something exciting to do and an amazing group of people to work…Share on X  So it’s about hiring people who are reliable, self-sufficient, and want to move things forward. Then really showing that any conversation and any intellectual argument is absolutely allowed. There is no hierarchy where you can say something and I’ll just shut you down because I’m the boss. You have to demonstrate that in practice. You have to actively solicit everything a person has to say. After the first couple of hires, it becomes easier with the next ones because they see what’s going on. That’s how you do it. It’s a deliberate choice to build the culture through day-to-day interactions. There’s no easier way, unfortunately.  So how scalable is this flat, democratic culture? Does it impact scalability in any way?  It is scalable. My current company is small, but my previous company had about 150 people. Even when we sold the company and had to find a replacement CEO, the candidates had about 50 interviews each. At the end, the whole company voted on who the CEO would be. It is scalable. It slows down the decision-making process, but it speeds up the progress of the company.  An individual, even the smartest individual, is more likely to make mistakes than the crowd. Now, there are exceptions. I’m pretty sure Steve Jobs would have done it differently. But for the most part, I think people make fewer errors through a democratic process than by making decisions on their own. So yes, I think it’s scalable. It’s really a matter of deciding which decisions belong at which level. You don’t have the entire company of, say, 10,000 people voting on one thing. For a particular problem, there might be 10 people who are the relevant decision-makers. They get together and sort it out, and everybody else accepts what those people decide.  So it’s more of an approach to tapping into the minds of the people who can potentially bring diverse opinions.  Yeah. Diversity of opinion. They all have a different angle from which to look at the issue that needs to be resolved. So different angles. Because they’re all impacted, everybody can contribute. There’s respect in listening to everybody else. It’s not that one person establishes the ground truth and everybody else has to agree. There is actual debate.  Yeah. Interesting. By the way, I just want to comment on this bootstrapping aspect. I saw your post on bootstrapping. You spoke at a recent conference on it. So what are your thoughts on bootstrapping? What are the critical ingredients there?  So bootstrapping is the way business has been run for a very long time. It’s only recently—in historical terms—that the venture capital industry emerged and allowed businesses the luxury of building without thinking too much about the bottom line. But I think the disciplining effect of constantly thinking about the bottom line is super important. To some extent, it takes a certain kind of individual to do it, which I call the true entrepreneur. Those are the people who are risk-takers and can live with a very high degree of ambiguity.  When you don’t have money in the bank to cover next month’s expenses, you have to be comfortable with that. To me, that’s the right entrepreneur. It has become too easy for people to become “entrepreneurs” by raising tens of millions of dollars. That’s not to say they might not be brilliant people who execute very well and create amazing companies. I think those are probably one in a thousand. The majority get the money, spend it in two years, and they’re gone. So for me, bootstrapping is the proof in the pudding. If you do it day in and day out and keep moving forward, you're actually building something that's valuable.Share on X  Yeah, I agree. Some people say it’s akin to being an employee when you raise money and just have to get to the next fundraising round, and then the next fundraising round. It’s almost like executing the business plan your board has given you.  Exactly.  Worst case, you go take a job somewhere else if things don’t work out. But you’re not losing your livelihood, and your family isn’t going to starve, right?  It is a certain type of personality, and I don’t think it’s for everyone. But my personal belief is that if you’re going to build a business, you’re better off building it with a little bit of hunger. Not always having enough. Having just enough so you can keep moving forward.  Yeah. Necessity is the mother of invention, right? If you don’t have too many resources, that’s a constraint you can push against and come up with better ideas. It’s a forcing function.  Correct.  There you go. So, Victor, what drives growth in your business?  Like I said, I’m not pro-growth per se. This was also a deliberate choice for the company. Just as a parenthesis, the last business I ran before this was a media business. We sold advertising. I personally don’t believe that spending money on advertising is a good idea. So I built a business with the explicit desire not to spend any money on marketing. That meant I had to build mechanisms for referrals, inbound traffic, and so on.  A lot of our early customers—including companies like The New York Times and Food Network—received very high discounts, but with the requirement to display “Powered by Edamam,” linking back to us. Search engines like that. It builds authority and so on. Over the years, we’ve built enough authority that most of our traffic now comes from search engines and chatbots. That’s what’s driving our growth.  The other thing is that we try to stay nimble. We build technological assets and products, but the market changes. Who needs the data? For what use cases? It’s important to stay aware of the market and adjust to wherever the opportunity is. That’s how I’ve built the business. I’ve built it to generate lots of inbound traffic and then adjust very quickly if the market changes. The rest is we’re almost like a spider waiting for the flies to come in.  So you say you’re not pro-growth. Do you mean you don’t want to make this a bigger company?  No. I’m not for growth just for the sake of growth. Let’s grow 300% this year in top-line revenue. For me, as I said, what drives the business is how many people we reach with our data. That’s the metric I’d like to grow as much as possible. If possible, I’d like to reach every person on the planet. That’s the aspiration. When I say I’m not for growth, I mean that  sometimes growth becomes its own incentive. You grow without asking, “What’s the ultimate goal here?” Why do you have to grow?  Oftentimes, the answer is because you want to sell the company at a big profit. That’s why VCs put money into your company. You’re feeding the VC business model. But if you’re not feeding the VC business model, why do you have to grow the company? What’s the point? You may have investors, but you have patient capital, and they’re aligned with you. Eventually they’ll get their money back, but it doesn’t have to come at the expense of the company’s mission. When I talk about growth, I mean the pressure to constantly grow top-line revenue, which has become very popular over the last couple of decades.  So when you say you eventually want to organize all the food knowledge in the world, it sounds a little like Google organizing the world’s information—just for food. Isn’t that a big vision that requires growth?  No. Again, I don’t think growth is necessary to execute that vision. I think you can organize the world’s food knowledge, and we’re already well along the way. There’s always more to do. Even with very limited resources, we’ve been able to do it. I think that having more customers and more revenue would probably help, but only on the margin. It’s not a prerequisite.  The prerequisite is having the right technology and the right setup to constantly ingest new information about food, pass it through our pipeline, clean it, verify it’s accurate, structure it, organize it, and link it to other data. Food is a relatively limited universe. You started by asking whether people really create 2.3 million recipes. There are only so many ways to combine food items into something people eat. So it’s a limited universe. What’s exciting is the depth of food.  There are macronutrients, micronutrients, allergies, diets—we all know about those. But there’s much more. There are many more molecules in food. Eventually, even the soil it was grown in and the amount of sun exposure could become valuable data. There’s always more work to do, but we focus on what’s actually doable right now.  So do you envisage that the growth of technology, especially AI, means you can keep the company the same size as it is and accomplish your ultimate mission?  I think so. Similar size. To some extent, AI is helping us because it’s bringing a lot more customers. People are building all kinds of applications with large language models and agents, and they need accurate, deep data, so they come to us. We are also using AI to build tools and meet the demand, so our engineers are becoming more effective. So, to some extent, that helps keep the team small.  That being said, in terms of the speed with which AI moves, it’d be nice to have a few extra people. That doesn’t mean doubling the size of the company. I think it’s probably having 20 to 30% more people would be sufficient to actually leverage the technology—which is AI—to the best effect. So that’s kind of my view now. Ask me in two months, I may have a different view.  So what is one thing that you’re actively trying to figure out in this business right now?  Well, AI is throwing a wrench into everything, so it is a very fast-moving environment. Our clients are constantly changing their demands. The profile of our clients is changing. There’s a lot more new health, wellness, prevention, and weight-loss companies that are showing up and starting because they can now build with AI. So all of that makes for a very choppy sea. We can’t figure out exactly where the wind is blowing from and where we should head.  So for me, it’s kind of like having the North Star of, “Okay, we are a data company. We leverage our data asset, and we just keep doing that. Then we’ll innovate on the technologies that we need to offer, but stay there, as opposed to trying to change what the company does.” That’s kind of what’s keeping me steady. But again, it’s a very choppy sea, so I don’t know what’s going to happen. One big worry is whether Anthropic or OpenAI are eventually going to replicate everything that we’ve done. I don’t know. I don’t think so. But artificial superintelligence is something that nobody knows about.  Yeah. So the technology evolves very fast. So how do you avoid being commoditized by AI? I think the data—our moat is the data, right? It’s taken us so much time to actually clean, organize, and structure the data, and that’s not a process you can do easily just by throwing people or AI at it. We’ve used what used to be called AI since the beginning of the company: machine learning, natural language processing, and so on. Now we use generative AI. But we’ve used that, plus super-smart engineers, food experts, nutritionists, and week in, week out, we’ve been improving the data, improving the algorithms, refining it, and so on. That is not something you can just throw resources at.  It requires that constant iteration between humans and technology in order to get there. So for us, I think that’s an important moat because if somebody wants to build it and commoditize us, they’ll have to replicate that. I think the more likely scenario is they may end up buying us. Like I said, artificial superintelligence could be a completely different ballgame. But with the technology that exists right now, with large language models, I don’t think that’s replicable. We know it because enough people have tried.  Yeah. Would you be okay with someone buying you? Is this your…  Sure.  Yeah?  Yeah. The way I think of companies is the following. They’re like children. At some point, children become 18-year-olds. They can earn their own bread. They can walk on their own two feet. You kind of have to let them go. I think this company has gotten to that stage. It’s a teenager that can walk on its own. It doesn’t need me. And I have ideas for 10 more businesses. Who knows? If I’m healthy, I think I could probably build another four or five businesses in the next 40 or 50 years. Why not?  Yeah. I love it. So who do you want to connect with you, go on your website, check things out, and what’s the best way to engage with what Edamam is doing?  Two categories of people or entities. One is companies that are building something around diet management, nutrition, health, or food. I think they’ll find that we have valuable resources that can speed up whatever they’re developing. So that’s one category. The other is like-minded individuals. They could be investors, but they could also just be people who really care about healthy eating and the prosperity of humanity.  Those are the types of people I’d like to talk to because aligned minds often come up with new ideas. It’s kind of the Y Combinator thing—lateral thinking. If we have an aligned goal and we come from different fields, we may come up with something new.  Okay. So that’s a way for you to find people worth brainstorming with, I guess, who have the same ideas: healthy eating, helping people live longer—to 120 years. And other companies that could be using the data you’re processing and organizing. So if you’re out there and you’re in the food business or the healthy living business, then definitely pay attention.  Check out Edamam LLC‘s website. Talk to Victor Penev on LinkedIn.

You’re listening to American Ground Radio with Stephen Parr and Louis R. Avallone. This is the full show for July 29, 2026. We open with Anthony Fauci's appearance before the Senate Homeland Security Committee — where he invoked the Fifth Amendment 111 times over nearly four hours, refusing to answer questions about COVID-19, gain-of-function research, federal records, and his role in shaping the pandemic response. He even invoked the Fifth when asked whether a red folder was sitting in front of him. We walk through the constitutional tension at the heart of the hearing: Biden's sweeping preemptive pardon covers Fauci for any federal offense between 2014 and January 19, 2025 — and under an 1896 Supreme Court ruling, a pardoned witness can no longer claim Fifth Amendment privilege because the danger of prosecution has been removed. Fauci's lawyers are apparently betting the autopenned pardon might be invalidated. We also point out that the Fifth Amendment does not protect a witness from future perjury — meaning the only real jeopardy Fauci faced was if he lied again. His diaries, which he confirmed are his, already prove he lied to Congress about school closures and gain-of-function. Biden may have given him immunity from punishment. He may also have given Congress the power to compel the truth. In our Top 3 Things You Need to Know, Fauci's Senate testimony — 111 Fifth Amendment invocations, a contempt vote expected next week. Then the Trump administration officially banned gain-of-function research globally — expanding last year's China-specific ban to all foreign nations and the United States itself, with HHS and the State Department issuing a joint statement on biosafety standards. And the Senate confirmed Jay Clayton as the new Director of National Intelligence on a party-line 51-47 vote — in part because Clayton refused to tell Democrat senators that he believed Joe Biden won the 2020 election fairly. We also cover President Trump's ban on importing humanoid robots manufactured in China — framing it as a national security issue rather than a tariff. We explain why this is correct: Chinese robotic firms have been pouring money into R&D, producing advanced prototypes that can lift, run, climb stairs, and mimic human gestures. Importing them would stifle American domestic robotics manufacturing and potentially introduce devices receiving overnight software updates from servers in Beijing. Our American Mamas Teri Netterville and Kimberly Burleson take on the trend of celebrity children dropping their fathers' last names when they turn 18 — specifically Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie's daughter, and Tom Cruise's daughter Suri. Teri makes the case that this isn't really about the name — it's about what happens when a parent loves winning more than they love their children's relationship with their other parent. She shares a story from their own extended family where a mother kept her children away from their father for 20 years based on lies — and when the truth came out as adults, the son found his father, the father died shortly after, and the son's relationship with his mother was shattered permanently. The data on children without fathers is not ambiguous. The children who are protected from the bitterness of divorce are the ones who grow up most whole. We dig into Zoran Mamdani's pied-à-terre tax — a second-home tax he promised would affect 13,000 properties. When the city published the list of people subject to the tax, it contained more than 960,000 names and their addresses — effectively doxxing nearly a million New Yorkers, including celebrities who campaigned for Mamdani like Cynthia Nixon, plus Anna Wintour and Woody Allen. It also included people who have lived in their homes as their primary residence for 27 and 30 years respectively, now being billed $43,000 in additional annual taxes on top of their existing property taxes. One resident compared it to a command and control government like Cuba or China. We call it exactly what it is — a communist mayor who said he was going to tax the rich and is now taxing anyone he can find an address for. We also cover the co-owner of the Seattle Storm WNBA team allegedly approaching two teenage girls holding pro-Sophie Cunningham signs at a game — girls wearing XXXY t-shirts in support of women's sports — and unleashing an expletive-filled rant that left one of them in tears. The team apologized. We note that these girls bought tickets, spent money on parking and concessions, and chose to spend their evening at a Storm game. The ownership treated them as political opponents. We also note that the same signs held at a Fever game in Indianapolis would have received a very different reaction. For our Bright Spot, Missouri Senator Eric Schmitt introduced the Boasberg Act — named after the Washington D.C. federal judge who has repeatedly blocked Trump administration actions before being overruled by the Supreme Court. The bill does three things: requires fully randomized case assignments so plaintiffs can't judge-shop, implements transparency measures to verify the randomization is actually being followed, and removes a judge from a case if the Supreme Court overrules them in that same case. We call it exactly what it is — a structural fix to a systemic problem that has cost taxpayers time and money and allowed activist judges to function as a one-person veto over the will of the American people. We also cover Chicago's government grocery store experiment — where Mayor Brandon Johnson gave a company called Yellow Banana $13 million in subsidies to reopen seven Save-A-Lot locations in food deserts, promising $26 million over ten years. Yellow Banana closed all seven stores in less than two years. The reason: you cannot sustain a grocery store selling at below-market prices. New York City is now launching the same experiment. We suggest they call Chicago first. We also cover Nancy Sinatra's claim on X that the founding fathers would have banned firearms if they'd known about automatic weapons — and explain why this is historically illiterate. The founders specifically ensured colonists could own the weapons of war of their era. The Battle of Lexington and Concord was triggered by the British attempting to confiscate cannons. And the Second Amendment says arms — not muskets. And we close with 14-year-old Jory Thomas, who brought his lariat camping along the Yellowstone River because he'd been practicing roping every day after school. While camping, he heard cries from the middle of the rushing river — a man clinging to a cooler after his raft hit a bridge upstream. Jory waded in, threw his lariat, roped the man on the first try, and pulled him to shore. He said God was basically putting him in place. May your pursuit of happiness bring you joy.

Zelig est un documenteur comme on dit, cʹest-à-dire un faux documentaire, signé Woody Allen, sorti en 1983. Un canular absolument génial, mêlant fausses séquences dʹactualités, photos truquées et un héros unique, Leonard Zelig, un héros en tel manque dʹamour et de reconnaissance quʹil en devient homme caméléon. Quand on le met en présence dʹun obèse, il devient obèse, quand il est face à un psychiatre, il devient psychiatre, quand il est face à un Indien, il devient Indien. Cʹest un cas pour la médecine et la coqueluche des années folles. Le public adore Zelig que lʹon expose comme un phénomène de foire. Sous hypnose, le personnage avoue sa vérité à sa psychiatre, la seule qui pense pouvoir le sauver de ce mal étrange qui le ronge : " Cʹest plus sûr dʹêtre comme les autres. Je veux être aimé ". Une phrase terrible qui fait perdre toute identité au patient pour absorber celle de lʹautre. La dissolution de lʹêtre en quelque sorte. Mais au-delà de la philosophie, Zelig, cʹest une performance technique. Pas gratuite. Un documentaire au service de la psyché de son auteur. On retrouve, dans ce film très personnel, le malaise dʹun homme qui ne parvient pas à trouver sa place dans le monde. Les thèmes de prédilection de Woody Allen sont évoqués : timidité sexuelle, angoisse métaphysique, impuissance créatrice, existentialisme et psychanalyse. Cʹest aussi la manipulation des images qui est abordée. Dès lors, ne tardons plus et intéressons-nous de plus près au cas Zelig comme le Dr. Eudora Fletcher.

Welcome back ladies and gentlemen to the Woody Allen Retrospective Podcast!   Before we get into this month's adjacent title, we've got quite a bit of podcast business to get through.   Today is pretty much the final episode of what we'd call the second era of the show, well, aside from next month where we will be discussing the latest Woody Allen book - that will TRULY be the final part of the second era of the show.   The first era was the early years with Simon, when we were still figuring out the format, the editing, using the very ugly Microsoft paint looking artwork and, quite frankly, we were still figuring out what the podcast even actually was doing long term.   This second era has been the James Daniel Walsh years, where the show found a new rhythm and started the Woody Adjacent Project.   ...and now we're getting ready for the third and final act of the podcast.   From October we begin the Woody Allen RE-retrospective, where we'll be going back through every single Allen film or off cut odd special release ala non woody directed movie etc   We will be hitting you with fresh conversations, improved production and everything we've learned from doing this podcast for so many years.   Then, when that final retrospective is complete, that will bring this podcast itself to a fitting end.   The podcast feed will still be active but myself and james will likely be starting a new podcast about film and television (to be decided later)   We really want to make this last run of the show the best version the podcast it possibly can be.   As part of the new final era, we've got brand-new podcast artwork, a dedicated YouTube channel, a new email address and a number of other updates coming as we freshen everything up for the road ahead.   Today, we also explain why August is going to work a little differently moving forward.   August is always a hectic month for me personally, with family birthdays, holidays and a lot of podcast admin happening behind the scenes, so moving forward, August will essentially become our annual pre-recorded month.   There will still be an episode in August, but it may be a solo recording by me Don, something James and I have cobbled in advance, or a different type of episode that gives us the space to work on anything else woody related - at the very least it will be a Q&A episode / AMA type episode.. we'll figure it out later   Putting all that aside.. we also make a small request to our listeners.   James has been using the same microphone for around ten years, going all the way back to outside work he was doing on his manic expression animated movie,   Before we begin the final retrospective go around I would really love to upgrade his audio gear.   The microphone I've picked out for him is the Elgato Wave 3, which should give him a substantial improvement in sound quality and help us make this final run through on Woody's filmography sound as professional as possible.   This request is not aimed at our existing Patreon supporters, who already do a great deal for the podcast and have our genuine thanks. This is simply an opportunity for anyone else who enjoys the show and has ever wanted to support us directly help out.   Whether that means making a small one-off contribution, becoming a new Patreon or even donating suitable equipment to us directly, every bit of support would help us get James the updated microphone he deserves.   ==========================================================   James also shares some very exciting news of his own.   He has already begun an ambitious fifteen-month rollout of new creative work, with fresh material being released every single week and, at times, several releases within the same week.   By the time this episode reaches you, his stories Bloodshot, The Last Spike and Faded should all be available through Amazon, alongside his original song Constellation, which can be watched for free on the Manic Expression YouTube channel.   other links to James's work, the microphone fund and the various ways to contact or support us will be included below.   SUPPORT JAMES HERE    >>>>>>>>>>>    https://linktr.ee/manicexpression1980   ==================================================   That all said, we now return to the Woody Allen Adjacent Project with a listener-requested film that we've wanted to discuss for quite some time :)   Good Luck to You, Leo Grande is the 2022 comedy-drama directed by Sophie Hyde, written by Katy Brand and starring Emma Thompson and Daryl McCormack.   The film follows Nancy Stokes, a retired teacher and widow who decides that there are certain experiences she has missed during her life and may finally be ready to pursue.   What follows is an intimate, largely two-person film built around a series of meetings between Nancy and Leo Grande   In this sex dramadey we consider the strengths of contained, dialogue-driven films, the natural chemistry between the two leads, and the question at the heart of every episode in this series: What exactly makes thisWoody Allen adjacent?   Thank you, as always, for reading, listening, supporting the show and joining us as we prepare to enter the third and final era of the Woody Allen Retrospective Podcast.   That was one hell of a long read aye :P - we really do hope you have a great rest of your summer!   ==================================================   For full cast details, user reviews, and more background on the film, check out:

Show Notes: On this episode legendary writer and show creator talks about being the first white guy on stage at the Apollo, getting a show about alcoholics cancelled because the network president was an alcoholic, the pleasure of writing a first draft, and driving way too fast, and how music drives his writings and the time he was oddly alone with Bruce Springsteen and told him a dirty joke. Bio: on Reo has always been quick with a quip, from the time he got his first laugh sometime back in junior high school to the jokes he wrote for traveling comedians, through the half century he spent “pushing the limits” of sitcoms to the book he is currently negotiating with Random House—The Tibetan Joke Book of the Dead.  “It's about Hollywood and death which are probably synonyms,” said Reo, the recipient of WGAW's Paddy Chayefsky Laurel Award for Television Writing Achievement to be presented at the 2026 Writers Guild Awards. “I think you're born with a funny gene, or maybe it's the way you're raised. Nobody else in my family was particularly funny, but I got a laugh in the seventh grade, and I thought, ‘Maybe I can do this. This is nice because it stops people from hitting you.' I read that Woody Allen was making $500 a week writing jokes, and I thought, ‘Well, fuck, I can do that!'” And he did, effectively launching a career that has spanned seven decades, earning writing credits on series such as Sanford and Son, Rowan & Martin's Laugh-In, M*A*S*H, and Rhoda and creating or co-creating Blossom, My Wife and Kids, The John Larroquette Show, and The Ranch.

Congressional Democrats on the House Oversight Committee released a set of 19 photos from a larger trove of over 95,000 images obtained from Jeffrey Epstein's estate, aiming to shed light on his social connections. The photos include well-known figures such as President Donald Trump, former President Bill Clinton, Bill Gates, Steve Bannon, Larry Summers, Woody Allen, and Prince Andrew, often shown in social settings with Epstein or others; some images show Trump with unidentified women whose faces are redacted and others depict social scenes on jets or at events. None of the released photos directly show criminal acts, and their context and dates are not provided, but Democrats argue they raise important questions about Epstein's associations with powerful individuals and call for fuller transparency as part of a broader investigation. The release is part of an ongoing effort by lawmakers to review and make public materials from Epstein's estate and related government files.The photo release has quickly become political: **House Democrats say the images underscore a need to end what they call a “cover-up” and demand that the Department of Justice release the full set of Epstein files under the recently passed Epstein Files Transparency Act, which requires federal release of related documents by a mid-December deadline. Republicans and White House officials have criticized the release as selective and politically motivated, accusing Democrats of cherry-picking photos to create a narrative rather than present an objective record, and emphasizing that the photos do not demonstrate wrongdoing by anyone pictured. The disclosures have reignited public debate over Epstein's network and the extent of powerful people's associations with him, even as broader document releases and further image batches are expected in the coming weeks.to contact me:Disturbing photo on Epstein's desk sparks horror over 'incapacitated young girl passed out on couch' | Daily Mail Online

Welcome back to the Woody Allen show! ugh…Last ep we covered Annie Hall and for this one we're returning right back with his immediate follow up: Interiors.  If you got a problem with that, take it up with Mary Beth Hurt, whose recent death prompted us to cover this film. But we aren't too mad about it since this extremely serious drama prompted some good conversation. Topics include: Bergman, Chekhov, and getting drunk with Maureen Stapleton and Geraldine Page.

Today On The Eric Metaxas Show, Eric talks with Rod Martin about the Charlie Kirk trial, conspiracy theories, Candace Owens, critical theory, the crisis of authority, the woke right, Tucker Carlson, and the spiritual revival happening among young men. Then Eric and Chris Himes discuss family, faith, patriotism, Eric's father, America's Christian culture, the Super Centennial, Is Atheism Dead?, the upcoming TV series, classic films, Woody Allen, Broadway Danny Rose, and why culture matters.⭐ ORDER NOW:Revolution: The Birth of the Greatest Nation in the History of the World

Visszatér a műsor egyik legnépszerűbb vendége, Köves Gábor újságíró, akivel a korábbi adásokban (első, második, harmadik) leginkább a sztárinterjúiról beszélgettünk. Most viszont megjelent első regénye, az Apropó, New York, úgyhogy több se kellett, már hívtam is be a (35 fokos, légkondi nélküli) stúdióba.„Az autofikciót jobb lett volna elkerülni, de hát ez sikerült” – mondja Köves a könyvről, amelynek főhőse hiába dolgozik magánnyomozóként, minden másban teljesen megegyezik Köves Gáborral. A nyomozós szál hamar feledésbe merül, és onnantól csak Köves mesél a számára fontos dolgokról: a családjáról, a kutyájáról, a margitszigeti futásról és mindenekelőtt New Yorkról, annak parkjairól, utcáiról, víztározóiról és könyvesboltjairól, vagy Philip Roth lakásáról, ahová a főhős interjút készíteni megy a nagy íróval. Szóval ez pont az a könyv, amire minden Köves-rajongó vágyott.Ha a műsor végén úgy érzed, hogy még nincs eleged Kövesből, akkor menj át a Filmklub podcast Patreon-oldalára, ahol egy dollárnyi támogatásért cserébe további 28 percnyi beszélgetést hallgathatsz meg. A bónusz részben megdumáljuk például, hogy milyen volt Star Wars-rajongónak lenni a nyolcvanas évek Magyarországán, kéne-e filmet csinálni az Apropó, New Yorkból, és ha igen, ki rendezze, de kitárgyaljuk a Piros Arany-függőségünket, illetve azt is, hogyan úsztuk meg annak idején a katonaságot.Dolgok, amik szóba jönnek:“New York a felszínen tart” - Klág Dávid interjúja Kövessel, amiben Köves háromszor is megemlít engemA második Willem Dafoe-interjú, amiért nem kellett fizetniA Tim Robbins-interjú, amiben a Jákob lajtorjájáról kellett kérdezniÉletem Woody Allennel - a cikk, amiben Köves elmeséli a Woody Allen-interjúitKovács Bálint posztja a könyve eladásairól

Woody Allen has called A Streetcar Named Desire the most well-directed film ever made and its influence on Blue Jasmine (2013) is unmistakable. Both concern a woman whose fantasy life and self-deception break down and both feature incredible performances by the lead actress: in Streetcar, it's Vivien Leigh and here it's Cate Blanchett. And if Streetcar is a high point of Eliza Kazan's filmography, Blue Jasmine is surely one of Allen's and perhaps the best of the subgenre Woody Allen Movies Without The Woody Allen Character. Incredible bumper music by John Deley. Blue Jasmine is Allen's 44th film; his memoir, Apropos of Nothing, details how he became a writer and director of fifty films.
