Podcasts about wooing

Romance novels—especially historical romance novels—thrive on heroes and heroines who don't match in terms of social class. There must be conflict, after all, or the novel would end before it began. But not even George Bernard Shaw's mismatched couple in Pygmalion (later My Fair Lady) can claim quite as much distance as Shana Galen's Tamsin Archer and the Honourable Garret Kildare, the main characters in A Shop Girl's Guide to Wooing a Lord (Berkley, 2026). Tamsin's once comfortable if never opulent life took a sharp downward turn when a Royal Navy press gang hauled her father off to unwanted service on a seagoing vessel, service from which he never returned. By 1813, when we meet her at age twenty-three, she's doing her best to support her injured mother and two much younger siblings by selling flowers in the street. A young man named Garret speaks kindly to her and pays her a shilling when she's expecting far less, and as a result she remembers him fondly, but it's not until two years later that she meets him again. By then, a chimney sweep has taken her younger siblings and holds them hostage to payments she can never make and that he might not honor even if she did. She's desperate to get them back. In 1815, Garret's life also makes a dramatic turn. His father, the Earl of Glenister, announces that the family has run out of money and must sell its ancestral lands in Ireland. Not exactly poverty, especially by Tamsin's standards, but still uncomfortable. Garret and his three brothers—Liam, Killian, and Daire—make a bet that one of them will secure the hand of an heiress, thus sparing their younger sister, Mariah, from having to marry an elderly and decrepit duke. But as Garret sets out to woo his heiress, he encounters Tamsin somewhere she's not supposed to be … Shana Galen, a former English teacher, has written more than fifty romances. A Shop Girl's Guide to Wooing a Lord, first in her The Heiress Hunters series, is the latest.

Promising author, depressing life circumstances for our characters.

Steven Cyr, long time Las Vegas casino host, Vegas Insider, and a man who spent decades standing at the intersection of money, addiction, psychology, ego, luxury, and absolute human madness. That's a six way intersection, by the way. On this episode of the Really? no, Really? Podcast, you're about to hear the secrets of Vegas revealed, including whether casinos use coolers. The cooler. That's the thing I got to know to stop a player from winning big. We've seen that in movies. A guy quitting and the table is running too hot. They bring in a guy, a dealer to to take over the blackjack table. The cooler. Steve's going to tell us this guy can't manipulate the deck. Steve's job wasn't just booking suites and handing out show tickets. A casino host becomes part time therapist, a concierge crisis manager, and part adult babysitter for billionaires. I think pretty sure he's dealt with whales, celebrities, compulsive gamblers, mob adjacent characters, and people so rich that they treat losing $100,000 like normal people treat a banana.

The health secretary Wes Streeting has appointed senior midwife Donna Ockenden to lead a review into maternity and neonatal services at Leeds Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust.

UK government policy says it does talk to terrorists - but it was directly meeting loyalist ‘brigadiers' - newly declassified files reveal. Revelations revealed in this year's batch of files include that whilst the Government claimed not be talking to terrorists, they were happy to meet the UDA's leadership in their capacity as so-called 'brigadiers', how continuing IRA activity held back the peace process and who the DUP wanted to become a Lord.

As Big Law looks for ways to scale up, McDermott Will & Schulte says it's looking at outside investment in the firm—a move that could set off a paradigm shift in how law firms run their businesses. If it does sell a part of itself to investors, McDermott would be by far the largest publicly known firm to take this step. Outside investment represents a new source of capital for law firms looking to expand, but does come with myriad risks and potential roadblocks. On this episode of our podcast, On The Merits, Bloomberg Law's Jessie Kokrda Kamens and Justin Henry talk about why McDermott is doing this now, whether they can pull it off, and how they're going to get around the ethical rules prohibiting outside ownership of firms.

Sam Bankman-Fried BioSnap a weekly updated Biography.Sam Bankman-Fried, once hailed as the genius founder behind the meteoric rise of FTX, has made headlines again this week as he battles for his future from inside a federal prison cell. He's now two years into a 25-year sentence after a spectacular fall from crypto grace, convicted on sweeping fraud charges tied to billions in vanished customer assets. The stakes could not be higher: according to SFist, Bankman-Fried is not just appealing his conviction but, through his parents—still big names on the Stanford campus—he's trying to secure a pardon from President Donald Trump, especially after Trump pardoned competing crypto tycoon Changpeng Zhao of Binance. According to Bloomberg, Bankman-Fried has lawyered up with appellate star Alexandra Shapiro, who also represents Sean Diddy Combs in his own high-profile appeals fight, a casting twist that's pure modern irony since SBF and Diddy reportedly shared time in the same jail unit.Monday's appeal hearing in Manhattan was anything but routine, with Shapiro arguing that Judge Lewis Kaplan stacked the original trial against Bankman-Fried—purportedly ridiculing him on the stand and curtly rejecting arguments crucial to the defense, such as the role lawyers played in drafting key documents at FTX. But AP and ABC News report the three-judge panel seemed unconvinced, grilling Shapiro on whether Bankman-Fried's version of events could have meaningfully swayed the jury given what Circuit Judge Barrington Parker called "very substantial evidence" of guilt. Still, the appeal claims that the jury only heard one side of the story and that Bankman-Fried was not permitted to explain himself or present crucial context, especially when it came to differentiating between criminal intent and a temporary liquidity crisis.Even as prosecutors reminded the court that several FTX insiders—some former confidantes and even a romantic partner—testified he personally directed the cover-ups, Shapiro maintained that the picture painted by the government was misleading. She even cited data showing 98 percent of creditors have already received more than their original investment, arguing FTX's bankruptcy was not the investor-annihilating catastrophe the DOJ described.Meanwhile on social media, controversy surrounding crypto pardons continues to swirl, with Ron Filipkowski's viral post about Trump's deals and SBF's reported ideological pivot serving up a fresh round of digital outrage. Adding to the circus, podcast hosts and legal analysts are dissecting every twist in SBF's story, from his media calls from jail to the role of his parents, hoping for a Trump lifeline.For now, there's no ruling on the appeal and no official word on potential clemency. The consensus among major outlets is that Bankman-Fried's chances are slim, but as with anything in crypto's wild world, surprise headlines could drop at any moment.Get the best deals https://amzn.to/3ODvOtaThis content was created in partnership and with the help of Artificial Intelligence AI

"Great was the darkness of that night and its horror, and demons would appear on that night always."Oíche shamhna shona daoibh go léir! Happy Hallowe'en! To accompany you on any trick or treating or early morning/late night wakenings this weekend we bring you our spooky Samhain special! Dr Hannah Mac Auliffe, Postdoctoral Research Fellow in Maynooth University, explains how the festival of Samhain appears in medieval Irish literature as a time for feasting and merriment, with the High King's Feast of Tara taking place on Halloween in several medieval stories. And just as we gather together and tell stories of demons and ghouls each October 31st, so too did the people of medieval Ireland. We hear of everything from zombies, threefold deaths and beheadings to werewolves, witches and kidnappings by the fairy armies of the sídhe.

Ever tried to woo a dream hire… and got rejected?In this behind-the-scenes episode, I share how hiring a new executive for one of my companies turned into the business version of 90 Day Fiancé.

One of the most surprising developments in Washington, if you're a South Asia-watcher, is the surprising turn in U.S.-Pakistan relations. Having largely sidelined Pakistan over the past decade or more, the current U.S. administration has courted Pakistan with an enthusiasm that has caught many analysts off-guard.In June, Trump hosted Pakistan's army chief, Asim Munir, in the White House. A few weeks later, the White House struck a trade deal with Pakistan that kept the tariff rate at 19 percent, lower even than the 25 percent rate slapped on India. Finally, officials from both sides have been discussing joint ventures in cryptocurrency and critical minerals.To talk more about the sudden thaw in U.S.-Pakistan ties, Milan is joined on the show this week by Uzair Younus. Uzair is Chief Product Officer at TAG AI, the artificial intelligence-enabled platform developed by The Asia Group.Prior to joining The Asia Group, Uzair served as Director of the Pakistan Initiative at the Atlantic Council. He's the host of the podcast, Pakistonomy, a show which gives listeners an accessible way of understanding developments related to the politics, economics, and foreign policy of Pakistan. Uzair is also the author of a new book, Future Ready: Innovation, Abundance And The Global South. On this week's show, the two discuss Washington's quiet reassessment of Pakistan, the Trump administration's interest in Pakistan's critical minerals, and the military lessons of Operation Sindoor. Plus, the two discuss the prospects for India-Pakistan rapprochement and the Trump administration's interest in mediation. To watch this episode, click here.Episode notes:1.

1:15: What kind of guy are the Patriots getting in Garrett Bradbury? 2:30: Why was Bradbury available? 4:25: At 6-3 and 300 pounds, he's a bit undersized.
