Pojmy jako narcismus, gaslighting nebo toxický vztah dnes zaplavují sociální sítě. Spisovatelka Eva Zupančič v rozhovoru pro Český rozhlas Vysočina popsala, proč se rozhodla napsat knihu Narcis a jak vypadají první varovné signály manipulativního vztahu.

Je res, da je imel Ivan Cankar patološki odnos do matere? Je res bil povsem zapit? Je sporočilo njegove književnosti res pesimistično in depresivno? – V pogovoru z literarno zgodovinarko smo preverjali kateri stereotipi o Cankarju držijo in kateri ne.10. maja je minilo 150 let od rojstva Ivana Cankarja, pisatelja, dramatika, esejista, pesnika in javnega intelektualca, ki se ga Slovenci sicer ne obotavljamo razglašati za »našega največjega«, a se prav tako ne pomišljamo nad njim zgražati in – še zlasti v zadnjih nekaj desetletjih – tudi iskati vsakovrstnih pojasnil oziroma izgovorov, zakaj bi se branju njegove literature v kolikor je mogoče širokem loku radi ognili. Toda literarna zgodovinarka, predavateljica na Oddelku za slovenistiko ljubljanske Filozofske fakultete, dr. Alojzija Zupan Sosič, je prepričana, da si, če se odločimo Cankarjevo književnost ignorirati, pravzaprav delamo medvedjo uslugo. V monografiji Uporno upanje v prihodnost : Ivan Cankar, romanopisec in mislec, ki je pred nedavnim izšla pri Cankarjevi založbi, namreč prepričljivo dokazuje, da je Cankar še kako tudi avtor za naš današnji čas. Da je Cankar pravzaprav avtor za vse čase. Da je, še drugače rečeno, ob Hiši Marije Pomočnice in Pohujšanju v dolini šentflorjanski in Podobah iz sanj in drugih delih mogoče daljnovidno in pretanjeno misliti samega sebe in svet – obenem krut, bridek in lep –, v katerem živimo. Kaj vse nas torej odriva stran od Ivana Cankarja in kaj vse bi utegnili odkriti v literarnih pokrajinah, ki nam jih je zapustil, če se bomo tjakaj le odpravili, smo v pogovoru z dr. Zupan Sosič preverjali v tokratnem Intervjuju na Prvem.

In this classic episode of Right at the Fork, we head back to November of 2025 and our conversation with Amanda Cannon Windquist and Judson Windquist of Sunday Sauce.  ORIGINAL POST: In a fun interview, we welcome Amanda Cannon Windquist and husband Judson to the podcast, just after they opened their newest venture in Portland, Sunday Sauce.  We talk about their journey and inspiration for Sunday Sauce, as well as their other restaurant, Normandie. Amanda and her husband, Judson, met while working in bars in Hoboken, NJ before moving to Portland in the early 2000s, where they now live with their two children. Amanda previously served as the wine director at Q (formerly Veritable Quandary). Her primary venture is Normandie, which she co-founded and opened in 2018. She co-owns the restaurant with Judson and Executive Chef Heather Kintler. Normandie has earned a spot on Portland Monthly's Top 50 Restaurants list and is celebrated for its wine list, which is exclusively focused on women-made wines. The Winquists have since opened a second restaurant together, Sunday Sauce. This new venture was originally conceived as a pop-up event held at Normandie in November 2024 before becoming a permanent establishment. Sunday Sauce marks the second restaurant collaboration between Amanda and Judson.   www.sundaysaucepdx.com @sundaysaucepdx Right at the Fork is made possible by:  DU/ER: www.shopduer.com/fork Zupan's Markets: www.zupans.com  RingSide SteakHouse: www.RingSideSteakhouse.com  Portland Food Adventures: www.PortlandFoodAdventures.com 

Piše Blaž Kavšek, bere Igor Velše. Študija literarne zgodovinarke Alojzije Zupan Sosič Uporno upanje v prihodnost, ki Ivana Cankarja obravnava predvsem kot romanopisca, vzvode za razlago njegove prelomnosti, izjemnosti in vloge utemeljitelja slovenske literarne modernosti išče v njegovi izmuzljivosti: Čeprav se je odrekel moraliziranju, je njegova literatura poudarjeno etična. Čeprav izrazito umetelen, njegov slog nikoli ni postal izumetničen. Čeprav potopljen v dunajsko moderno, ni podlegel njenemu mitu, pač pa ga je bil sposoben kritizirati ter najti svoje estetske trase. Kljub vztrajni tematizaciji brezupa je postal eden največjih glasnikov upanja, kljub literarnemu elitizmu pomemben demokratizator književnosti. Monografija, ki sicer v veliki meri temelji na že objavljenih razpravah, je kakovostno zgoščena, urejena in posodobljena. Sestavljena je iz dveh delov. V prvem avtorica poskuša sintezno in v poljudnem slogu orisati glavne koordinate literarnovedne obravnave Cankarjeve literature, v drugem analizira posamezne romane. Obravnava tudi manj znana besedila, kot sta pravljični roman Milan in Milena ter nedokončani roman Marta. Ker je študija kljub vsemu sestavljanka iz starejših razprav, ker obravnava deset romanov in ker se loteva izredno kompleksnega avtorja, nima samo ene rdeče niti. Ima jih več, pri čemer pa se te precej neproblematično spletajo v koherentno kito. Posebej izstopata dve niti. Prva se tiče razblinjanja neustreznih mitov in predsodkov, ki imajo ravno zaradi Cankarjeve središčnosti v slovenskem prostoru velik doseg in globoke korenine. Gre za mite o njegovem pijančevanju, konfliktnosti, pesimizmu, slogovni nedostopnosti, obsedenosti s svojo mamo, pasivnosti njegovih likov in neslovenskosti. Zavračanju teh predsodkov je avtorica posvetila posebno poglavje v prvem delu monografije, vendar se v nadaljevanju v študijo vztrajno vračajo, saj v veliki meri izhajajo že iz starejše literarne kritike, s katero je bil Cankar vse življenje v nevrotičnem dialogu. Kot dokazuje Alojzija Zupan Sosič, se je ravno iz tega dialoga, iz pogajanja z bralskimi pričakovanji, kritiškimi muhami in gromozanskega nelagodja s kakovostjo slovenske literature 19. stoletja napajalo Cankarjevo neutrudno iskanje novih pripovednih prijemov in nove estetike, zaradi katerih je danes eno izmed sidrišč slovenskega literarnega kanona. Druga rdeča nit je zaznavna že na ravni naslova. »Uporno upanje v prihodnost« so besede, ki jih je Cankar v romanu Tujci položil v usta glavnega lika, umetnika Slivarja, ko je ta opazoval utrujene obraze delavcev in delavk, ki se vračajo iz tovarn in delavnic. Estetskemu nelagodju, ki ga je Cankar čutil ob iztrošenem realizmu, suhoparnosti in čustveni togosti literarnih predhodnikov, lahko kot temeljni motivator njegove umetnosti pridružimo globoko nelagodje ob trpljenju brezpravnih, ponižanih in razžaljenih. Empatija oziroma, kot bi rekel sam Cankar, sočutje, je v ozadju tako njegovega obravnavanja spolnih vlog, izpostavljanja pogorišč zgodnjega industrijskega kapitalizma in inovativne obravnave živali kot tudi poglobljenih analiz marsikaterega tabuja, od posilstva do samomora. Identificirati jo je mogoče celo kot gonilo najbolj igrivih in ironičnih elementov njegovega opusa, vodila pa je seveda tudi njegov socialistični angažma. Knjiga Uporno upanje v prihodnost s tega vidika ni samo analiza Cankarjeve vloge v literarnem življenju na prelomu iz 19. v 20. stoletje ter ni aktualna zgolj zaradi naključja, da letos praznujemo sto petdeseto obletnico njegovega rojstva. Aktualna je, kot je v nekem intervjuju izjavila avtorica Alojzija Zupan Sosič, zaradi »pohab civilizacije«, ki smo jim priča danes. Knjiga, v kateri kulminira skoraj desetletje raziskovalnega dela, je zato tudi družbeno angažirano delo, ki tako rekoč posnema Cankarjev poziv k solidarnosti. Tistim, ki Cankarja ne poznajo preveč dobro in ga zaradi šolskih muk dojemajo kot tečnega moralizatorja ali pa so morda padli pod vpliv katerega izmed starih mitov o njegovi literaturi, bo knjiga pomagala, da ga ugledajo z novimi očmi. To pa velja tudi za velik del strokovne javnosti, ki je Cankarja v času študija prav zaradi njegove vseprisotnosti in samoumevnosti v slovenskem literarnovednem svetu obravnavala klišejsko in površno.

On this episode of the Mastery Unleashed Podcast, Christie Ruffino interviews Dr. Neja Zupan, who shares a deeply transformative journey shaped by loss, illness, and personal reinvention. After witnessing her mother pass away from cancer with unfulfilled dreams, Dr. Neja made a commitment to live fully and stop postponing her purpose. Later, she faced her own diagnosis of aggressive cancer with only a 5% survival rate, which became a turning point for profound healing and transformation.Rather than following conventional medical paths alone, Dr. Neja explored a holistic approach, developing what she calls “multidimensional intelligence.” This framework integrates physical, emotional, mental, energetic, and spiritual levels to create alignment, vitality, and sustainable success. She applied these principles not only to heal herself but also to transform her business, allowing it to scale internationally with more ease and flow.Central to her teachings are the “Dragon Laws”: cultivating inner peace, thinking beyond conventional limitations, and viewing challenges as opportunities for growth. These principles empower entrepreneurs to break free from burnout, stress, and traditional hustle-driven models.This episode encourages listeners to trust their intuition, embrace transformation, and align their life and business with a deeper purpose for lasting success and fulfillment. ABOUT DR. NEJADr. Neja Zupan is a Global Energy Master and Founder of the Energy Masters Academy, guiding leaders and change makers to understand that inner energy, not strategy, determines how they lead, decide, and create impact.Through practical, body based work rooted in nervous system recalibration, emotional clearing, and multidimensional intelligence, she helps leaders release hidden stress patterns and shift from pressure into presence. When energy aligns, vitality rises, decisions clarify, and results unfold with less force and more resonance.Her work is grounded in lived truth. After being diagnosed with aggressive Stage III+ cancer and carrying the BRCA gene that had taken multiple women in her family, Dr. Neja chose an inner path of energetic recalibration. Within six months, she was cancer free and fundamentally transformed.Today, she empowers leaders to lead from inner authority, embody coherence, and create sustainable impact as an authentic expression of who they are.

As warmer weather approaches, many of us are heading to coast. Make sure Daphne in Astoria is on your list of to-dos.  Here's our conversation with Jake Martin from last November. Original Post: Jake Martin began his culinary journey at 15, washing dishes in Northern California before moving sight unseen to Seattle in 1999. There, he taught himself the craft, working his way up through kitchens like Union and Maria Hines' Tilth. He moved to Portland in 2007, eventually running acclaimed restaurants Carlyle and Fenouil. This success was followed by a period of intense personal and professional difficulty, including high-profile restaurant closures, a severe depression, and a series of unfulfilling jobs that left him feeling burnt out and disconnected from the food he wanted to cook. ​After hitting a low point, his partner, Silqet, urged him to stop working for others and create his own vision. With her support and help from the Small Business Development Center, he wrote a business plan and secured a loan to open their new restaurant, Daphne, in Astoria. Today, his focus is hyper-local, sourcing nearly all ingredients from within a 75-mile radius. He champions a philosophy of simplicity, letting high-quality ingredients speak for themselves, and aims to educate the community on the exceptional produce, meats, and seafood their own region provides. www.daphneastoria.com @restaurant.daphne Right at the Fork is made possible by: Zupan's Markets: www.zupans.com  RingSide SteakHouse: www.RingSideSteakhouse.com  Portland Food Adventures: www.PortlandFoodAdventures.com

O razburkani življenjski poti enega najbolj kontroverznih slovenskih pisateljev preteklega stoletja - partizana, boema, ženskarja, političnega zapornika in človeka brezkompromisno svobodnega duhaEden naših najpomembnejših literarnih zgodovinarjev, Dušan Pirjevec, je menil, da slovenski literarni junaki pogosto niso gospodarji svoje usode, temveč se zapirajo v svoje trpljenje ter igrajo pasivno vlogo žrtve, in verjetno bi lahko rekli, da je nekaj tovrstnega sentimenta nedvomno del našega nacionalnega značaja. Morda so prav zato posebej zanimivi ljudje iz naše zgodovine, ki temu stereotipu ne ustrezajo. Eden takih je nedvomno pisatelj Vitomil Zupan. Svojo pustolovsko pot je začel že v mladosti, ko se je podal v svet in delal na ladjah ter razgrajal v pristaniščih, kasneje se je pridružil partizanom v drugi svetovni vojni, po vojni pa je bil leta zaprt zaradi svojega ekscesnega načina življenja in norčevanja iz oblasti. Vse to je nato popisal v vrsti avtobiografskih romanov, ki jih danes prištevamo med najboljša slovenska literarna dela. Razburkano življenje Vitomila Zupana, v ospredju katerega se ves čas vije boj za ohranitev samega sebe in svoje notranje svobode, nam bodo za tokratne Sledi časa pomagali predstaviti pisatelj, prevajalec, kritik in Zupanov prijatelj Aleš Berger, dr.

In the second part of our interview with a couple with deep roots in the Portland food world, Jackie and Adam Sappington share their insights on the state of Portland's food scene and the socio economic factors that affect it.  Adam shares that he remains focused on their own businesses and personal goals rather than the city as a whole, while still being aware and doing their best to serve their communities.  They talk about their much healthier practices now, with some moderation.   They share their unique and fascinating family journey which includes two very athletic sons and the chronology of events that led to their son Atticus' remarkable football career, including his rise to Division 1 and NFL prospects. We talk stadiums, hot dogs, agents, and their love of Oregon.  Adam fills us in on his solchefpdx project, too.   This is a fun conversation with all sorts of wonderful elements that make these two back-to-back episodes must-listens.   www.harlowpdx.com www.thecountrycat.net www.solchefpdx.com/   Right at the Fork is made possible by: Zupan's Markets: www.zupans.com  RingSide SteakHouse: www.RingSideSteakhouse.com  Portland Food Adventures: www.PortlandFoodAdventures.com

We are thrilled to have two of the legends of the current Portland dining scene on the podcast with us, Jackie and Adam Sappington.  Back in 2007, they left Wildwood to create The Country Cat, which was one of the staples of Portland's restaurant heyday.  They eventually opened The Country Cat at the airport, pioneering the idea that a great local restaurant could succeed serving people coming and going from PDX in a very special way.   8 years ago, the Sappingtons bought Harlow restaurant, a plant-based restaurant.  So interested that Adam, who was such a down home Ozark born country boy, would move from so much meat to a plant-based restaurant.  In this interview, we talk about why they did that, personally and professionally, and what it's meant for them since.   Part 2 of this interview will stream starting next week, where we will talk a little more about airport hospitaility, and then get into being parents of one of the best college footaball players in the country as a Duck at the University of Oregon, as their son Atticus readies for the NFL draft.  Stay tuned!!!   @harlowpdx harlowpdx.com thecountrycat.net   Right at the Fork is made possible by: Zupan's Markets: www.zupans.com  RingSide SteakHouse: www.RingSideSteakhouse.com  Portland Food Adventures: www.PortlandFoodAdventures.com

This week, we look back to our conversation with Dominic Finzo of The Screen Door. ORIGINAL POST: Dominic Finzo from The Screen Door restaurant in Portland joins us to talk about the iconic restaurant's 20th anniversary, which they will commemorate in 2026. Born and raised in Memphis, Tennessee, Dominic's earliest memories are steeped in the comforting rhythm of Southern life—where supper was always on the table, and love was served warm by the hands of his grandparents who raised him. It was in their kitchen that Dominic first felt the magic of food—the way a meal could bring people together and make them feel cared for. That connection lit a fire in him, and from a young age, he knew that cooking was more than just a skill—it was a calling. Dominic sought out mentors and chefs who would help shape his path. His journey took him from Tennessee to Montreal, across Germany, Denmark, and France, then to Maui, and finally to Portland, Oregon. Along the way, he honed his craft in some of the most respected kitchens, mastering techniques and immersing himself in diverse culinary traditions. Yet, no matter how far he traveled or how many flavors he explored, Dominic's heart remained tethered to the soulful food of his Southern roots. When he joined the Screen Door team, it felt like a homecoming—a full-circle moment where he could merge the rich traditions of his upbringing with the bounty of the Pacific Northwest. www.screendoorrestaurant.com @screendoorrestaurant Right at the Fork is made possible by: Zupan's Markets: www.zupans.com  RingSide SteakHouse: www.RingSideSteakhouse.com  Portland Food Adventures: www.PortlandFoodAdventures.com

Edouardo Jordan's ascent to the top of the Seattle culinary world was a long journey that started in his childhood St. Petersburg kitchen helping his mother, when given the choice of that or cleaning his room.  Edouardo takes us through his high school, college and post college pursuits, one of which was working with the Tampa Bay Devil Rays to becoming a food blogger,  He then decided he could do better than many of the restaurants he reviewed, and he pursued his interest in cooking at the Le Cordon Bleu (Orlando Culinary Academy) and got his first kitchen job in Tampa, Florida.  He worked his way from server to the line, working for Thomas Keller at The French Laundry and Per Se, then to Sitka & Sprice in Seattle. With all of that under his belt, he had the chops to open his own restaurant, Salare, in Seattle at the age of 35.  That platform, showcasing his talent to the world, led to Food and Wine choosing him as Best New Chef in 2016.  Shortly thereafter, Jordan opened JuneBaby, his widely acclaimed ode to Southern cooking.  He generated so much attention that the following year he sounded a louder gong by bringing home TWO James Beard Foundation Awards to Seattle.  One for Best Chef Northwest, and the other for Best New Restaurant nationwide.  He was the first African-American ever to win that award.  Edouardo was the baby of the Seattle culinary scene and beyond.   In 2019, Time Magazine named him one of the USA's 100 Most Influential People.    Then, as Edouardo tells it, all of that was erased in one day.  In June of 2021, The Seattle Times published a story featuring multiple accusations of sexual abuse in the workplace by Jordan. As Jordan points out in his recent YouTube Series chronicling his side this story, The newspaper gave him very little time to respond before it was published, and what happened from then on was something unimaginable -- a long, incredibly hard and frustrating time for Chef Jordan.  He found roadblocks everywhere, especially in the media, where he couldn't tell his side of the story.  Over four years later, Jordan is clawing his way back into the kitchen with the business he started years ago, thefoodwithroots.com.   Edouardo joins us on the podcast to talk about his career's rise, its crash, and how he's been emotionally and socially picking up the pieces in recent years, to what he's doing now in work and life, and how he's found balance and answers since the upheaval.   Right at the Fork is made possible by: Zupan's Markets: www.zupans.com  RingSide SteakHouse: www.RingSideSteakhouse.com  Portland Food Adventures: www.PortlandFoodAdventures.com
