Fresh off their Jordan trip, Harry and Meghan pop up virtually at the NAACP Image Awards, present a digital civil rights prize and double down on Gaza aid messaging. But reports swirl that Jordan's King Abdullah the Second and Crown Prince Hussein declined to meet them, leaving only a brief encounter with Princess Basma. Meghan swaps heels for $140 suede boat shoes at a refugee camp, dials back jewelry at World Central Kitchen, and earns both praise and eye-rolls in the British press. As nostalgia pieces call Harry the Windsor who “refreshes the parts others cannot reach,” betting markets suggest Meghan's lifestyle brand As Ever could pivot into fashion. Meanwhile, a childhood letter from Queen Elizabeth the Second heads to auction, a reminder of a very different royal era.Get episodes of Palace Intrigue by becommming a paid subscriber on Apple Podcasts.

“Food is a human right that should be supported by everybody, no children should go to bed hungry, even less in a conflict." Caitriona Perry speaks to José Andrés world-renowned chef and humanitarian. Andrés was born in Spain and trained as a chef before moving to the United States, where he helped popularise Spanish cuisine and built a global restaurant empire. He later founded World Central Kitchen, an organisation that has transformed the way humanitarian aid responds to crisis, delivering meals in war zones, after natural disasters, and in communities where hunger is a daily reality. José Andrés reflects on food, power, and why feeding people is inseparable from dignity and justice. The Interview brings you conversations with people shaping our world, from all over the world.

In this week's episode I sat down with Daniel Durant and Britt Stewart. Daniel is a Deaf actor on stage and screen. He is best known for his starring role as Leo Rossi in CODA, a film that garnered three Oscar Awards, including the top prize of Best Picture. He also starred in Deaf West's productions of Spring Awakening and Green Day's American Idiot and made it to the semifinals of Dancing With The Stars alongside his then dance partner, now wife, Britt Stewart. His ongoing work also includes co-leading acting workshops for Deaf students and interpreting in schools, serving as an acting teacher and coach for Deaf film camps as well as national speaking engagements for colleges and universities. Britt is a professional dancer, choreographer, and creative leader whose career blends artistry, impact and authenticity in the entertainment industry. Best known as a Pro dancer on Dancing With The Stars, she made history as the first Black female professional dancer on the show and has since made an impact with her presence.  She uses her platform to inspire balance, self growth and connection. As president of non-profit organization, Share The Movement, she champions access, education and representation in dance.We discuss what Deaf representation looked like for Daniel growing up and why he decided to become an actor, Britt's dance journey that led her to the Dancing With The Star's ballroom, how they are both working to make their respective spaces in the entertainment industry more inclusive, their relationship and how they have made their world and their home  more accessible and much, much more.For this conversation we were joined by ASL interpreter Justin Maurer.This episode was edited and produced by Ben Curwin.

In this episode Bill interviews Dr. John Gartner, a former Johns Hopkins professor and founder of Duty to Warn. In his return to the Bill Press Pod, Dr. Gartner provides an in-depth analysis of President Donald Trump's cognitive health, asserting that Trump exhibits signs of severe cognitive decline and personality disorders such as malignant narcissism. He discusses specific instances that showcase Trump's deteriorating mental state, including erratic behavior, memory lapses, and lack of empathy. The episode delves into the challenges and dangers posed by Trump's mental condition, its implications on his presidency, and potential future scenarios.Today Bill once again highlights the work of Chef Jose Andres' World Central Kitchen. While the Trump administration is decimating America's soft power around the world, and our role as a provider of aid to people and countries in peril, the World Central Kitchen goes where they're needed. No matter the war zone nor the danger of a natural disaster.

This episode of "Restaurant Owners Uncorked" features a conversation with Eric Scheffer, owner of The Scheffer Group in Asheville, North Carolina. Eric provides an update on his successful concepts (Vinnie's Neighborhood Italian Restaurant, Jettie Ray's Oyster House, Gan Shan, and a fifth on the way) and shares a harrowing account of the 2024 Hurricane Helene flood. This 1,000-year disaster crippled Asheville, leaving the city without power and water for months.Eric and his team immediately pivoted, mobilizing their four dark kitchens to feed the community, eventually serving nearly 50,000 meals in partnership with World Central Kitchen. The biggest challenge was securing water: Eric brokered a personal "handshake deal" over bourbon with a Texas water tanker driver. This, combined with the ingenuity of a local plumber, led to the creation of a temporary, complex filtration system, allowing his restaurants to safely operate. Demonstrating remarkable community leadership, The Scheffer Group then helped 21 other local restaurants replicate the expensive system to get them back online.Eric reflects that the tragedy changed his philosophy, underscoring the vital importance of deeply supporting employees who are often "a paycheck away from nothing." He emphasizes that in business, self-reliance is crucial ("the cavalry is not coming") and success hinges on the ability to pivot and be resourceful. Despite seeing the dark side of disaster profiteering, Eric remains optimistic about the economy stabilizing and Asheville's strong rebound.Key Takeaways Community Heartbeat: Restaurants are vital social and physical hubs, essential for leading disaster relief and support. The Pivoting Imperative: Business survival requires an immediate capacity to pivot operations, such as shifting to counter-service, to navigate sudden crises. Disaster Mobilization: Eric's group successfully leveraged closed kitchens and existing stock to serve nearly 50,000 meals in partnership with World Central Kitchen. Resourceful Solutions: When city utilities failed, water was secured through a personal "bourbon and a handshake" deal with a contracted tanker driver and a plumber's innovative filtration system. Mutual Aid: Eric's team extended their water solution to help 21 other Asheville restaurants quickly achieve operational status. Employee Focus: The crisis reinforced the importance of deep employer support for staff, many of whom face significant financial precarity. Self-Reliance: External help (FEMA, government) is unreliable. The core philosophy is that "The cavalry is not coming," forcing businesses to figure it out themselves. The Dark Side: Disasters expose the "disgusting" reality of individuals and companies exploiting human tragedy for obscene financial gain. Optimism/Stabilization: Eric sees stability returning; commodity prices (fuel, distribution) are starting to drop, suggesting a positive year ahead. Vendor Partnerships: Communicate financial struggles with vendors; negotiating product alternatives or pricing can foster collaborative survival.

In this episode, Bill reconnects with Larry Sabato, Founder and Director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia. to discuss the 2026 midterm elections. Sabato shares his insights on why he believes Democrats have the edge going into the midterms, citing dissatisfaction with the current Republican control of the White House, Congress, and the Supreme Court. They delve into the implications of redistricting and special elections, recent shifts in voter behavior among Hispanic and Asian communities, and the influence of former President Donald Trump on upcoming elections. The conversation also covers competitive Senate races, the potential impact of candidates like Susan Collins, and the possible future role of J.D. Vance in the 2028 presidential race. The discussion highlights the importance of politics in shaping the future of the nation and reflects on past progress while expressing optimism for the future. Today Bill highlights the work of Jose Andres and The World Central Kitchen. On the front lines of war and natural disasters.
