Today we are coming at you in complete accordance with strike rules by having the illustrious Liza Treyger on the podcast and refusing to talk about any past, present, or future projects she has been involved in. Instead, we cover the real issues like whether or not Eva Mendez is being held somewhere against her will, the hidden agenda of YouTube shorts, and whether you should have a kid when you're really young or really old. Plus, we have a stunningly succinct conversation on axe throwing because bigger isn't always better (sorry to all size queens)!

It's time for our biannual Earnestness Bonanza, where we DROP THE ACT and answer listener questions as earnestly as possible. So put that Alison Roman pasta salad in a giant Tupperware and press play on this baby on your way to a gay barbecue that reclaims the concept of patriotism via cheeky costumes!

StraightioLab All-Star Amy Zimmer returns to the hot seat along with her introverted friend "Kelly" for an episode that defies all categorization. We psychoanalyze the "undecided voter" archetype, invent a subversive new eyebrow trend, and speculate on Barbie's religious affiliation, all before turning our attention to the topic of the hour: DAIRY. What types of cheese are conservative and what types are progressive? How "fraiche" can store-bought creme fraiche really be? And finally: mold? Well it's not that simple...

Virginia Postrel is a California-based journalist who has written four books, including her most recent one, The Fabric of Civilization: How Textiles Made The World, (which I highly recommend.) In this episode, Virginia talks about why the history of fabric and civilization is a “story of innovation,” the mechanized Italian silk mills that predated the Industrial Revolution by two centuries, cotton’s history and dominance in today’s clothing, advances in synthetic fabrics, and the tragic life of Wallace Carothers, the almost-unknown inventor of nylon. (Recorded September 23, 2022.)

Episode 42 covers more on the Hidden Hut.

The most honest and inadvertently funny marketing message I ever saw was at a gas station that was closed for remodeling; it had been an Amaco station before that company was bought by BP. The sign said, “Rebranding, to serve you better.” 

I’m afraid we’re a bit guilty of that here at Spectrum. This is the 30th episode of IEEE Spectrum’s relaunched podcast series, but the first under a new name, “Fixing the Future.” 

We’ve changed the name partly for marketing and searchability reasons. But it also signals our intention to focus more intently on ways that technology is being deployed to improve our lives, specifically in three—to be sure overlapping—areas: climate change; machine learning and other smart technologies; and the effects of automation on the nature of work and the future of jobs.

I’m hard-pressed to imagine a more on-point guest to help me usher in this change than Myriam Sbeiti. She’s the CEO and co-founder of Sunthetics, a startup that’s reinventing the industrial processes by which we make nylon by replacing a thermal operation with an electrical one, and has both grown that business and pivoted toward other industrial processes as well.

Fixing the Future is sponsored by COMSOL, makers of mathematical modeling software and a longtime supporter of IEEE Spectrum as a way to connect and communicate with engineers.

In this week’s episode, I am so thrilled to welcome on author Gabrielle Korn. We discuss her experiences in journalism, working as a beauty editor at Refinery29, and becoming the youngest editor in chief at Nylon during their transition from print to fully digital. We discuss unrealistic beauty standards, the rise of social media influencers and their impact, and how to strive for personal authenticity. Gabrielle’s memoir Everybody (Else) is Perfect is on sale now.

This week, Ryan speaks with Gabrielle Korn,  former editor-in-chief of Nylon  magazine. She speaks about her experience of the industry and the launch of her new book Everybody (else) Is Perfect: How I Survived Hypocrisy, Beauty, Clicks, And Likes, an intimate collection of essays on topics such as internet feminism, beauty standards in social media and shifting ideals about sexuality.

 Ryan’s Rants & Raves is a podcast series on fashion, design and all things Québec produced by the Québec Government Office in New York and hosted by Fashion Attaché Ryan McInturf.

Los polímeros son moléculas complejas y muy grandes que se fabrican a partir de subunidades más pequeñas que se repiten. El pelo, por ejemplo, está hecho de un polímero llamado queratina, una proteína estructiral que además forma parte de uñas y plumas. Los polímeros naturales como la celulosa tiene importantes aplicaciones industriales, pero probablemente el más valioso de todos los polímeros de origen natural sea la seda, una fibra textil de origen natural que asociamos al oriente y que impulsó el intercambio cultural y comercial a través de la ruta de la seda. A comienzos del siglo 20, la búsqueda de un sustituto sintético para la seda llevó a un químico de Harvard a abandonar la vida académica para dedicarse a la industria, iniciando una revolución que comenzó en los laboratorios y que terminó en las tiendas de ropa, una historia fascinante que revisaremos hoy en La Ciencia Pop *** La Ciencia Pop es auspiciado por Más Audio, donde cuentan con la tecnología más avanzada y los más cómodos y modernos audífonos de origen alemán.

The Rule of Three Exists in Everything: think of comedy, photography, showbusiness. It also applies in the world of coffee, which has experienced what is accepted as The Three Waves. In Singapore, the Three Rules come with a twist: Kopi.  We talk with 5 artisanal coffee cafes - Nylon Coffee Roasters, PPP Coffee, Two Degrees North Coffee Company, Mavrx Coffee Bar and Coffee Break at Amoy Street. We discuss the beans, the brew and the business of delivering coffee with a focus on traceability, farm, process, roasting and latte foam.

Grab a cup of Joe and go on w journey with us to experience the world of caffeine, Singapore-style! BTW, I found a great little hack for recycling your leftover coffee grounds! Click on this link: https://diygarden.co.uk/composting-with-coffee-grounds/
