Water makes up most of what’s in your beer, but it rarely gets the same attention as malt, hops, or yeast. This week on Beer In Front, we look at how water has shaped some of the world’s classic beer styles from the soft water of Pilsen to the sulfate-rich water of Burton-on-Trent, and how today’s brewers adjust water chemistry to create everything from crisp lagers to juicy hazy IPAs.Then I visit Old Irving Brewing’s production facility in Chicago for a conversation with Trevor Rose-Hamblin. We

In this opening episode of our Embodied Empowerment series, Coach Kaila Allen MWSCC unpacks the exhausting societal myth that our human value must be earned through non-stop productivity, people-pleasing, and performing. We explore how conditional self-worth keeps the nervous system trapped in chronic vigilance, and how you can begin treating your worth as an undeniable, pre-paid birthright. Through actionable somatic practices like self-applied soothing touch and signature strengths mapping, you

Vinted used to feel like the internet version of a Naked Lady party: somebody else’s wrong thing becoming exactly what you needed, for a fiver and postage. Then the pro sellers arrived, the charity-shop stock moved online, and resale started to look less like an exit from fast fashion than another room inside it. A 2025 Yale study found the catch: people who buy second hand frequently also buy more new clothing.So low impact gets practical. Ghost in the Apple Orchard, Brenda’s red vest, is yarn on

This week on Not Your Granny’s Quilt Show, I’m talking with San Francisco-based textile artist Ben Venom, whose work brings together the worlds of counterculture, music, repurposed materials, and traditional textile techniques in a way that is completely his own.Ben grew up in the Atlanta punk rock scene of the 1990s, and while earning his MFA at the San Francisco Art Institute, he began making flags. In 2006, he saw the landmark Gee’s Bend quilt exhibition at the de Young Museum in San Francisco,

From counterfeit markets in Guangzhou to a Songmont boutique in Shenzhen, by way of BYD, DJI, and Xiaomi, I went looking for where China's manufacturing skill turns into something that's actually its own. What I found wasn't the story the headlines tell.This isn't about tariffs or trade politics. It's about the difference between technical mastery and creative identity, and what happens when a country this capable stops copying and starts making things nobody else could make. The

For a long time, I wanted someone to bring me flowers. Eventually, I realized I was asking for something more: to feel considered.In the first episode of You Are a Work of Art, I share the story of the flowers I used to wait for, the ones I learned to buy for myself, and the Sunday flowers that became part of my life with Nick.Along the way, we talk about asking for support, making things without needing them to be beautiful, and learning to recognize care that makes room for who you are.You’ll hear

This week, I’m joined by Charlotte Stone, better known as StoneKnits, the designer and author whose wonderfully playful colourwork socks have become instantly recognisable. Charlotte didn’t set out with a strategy to become “the sock designer”. She simply kept knitting the things she loved, sharing them online and responding when people asked for the patterns. Then her toadstool socks took off, a Bernie Sanders-inspired pattern reached the top of Ravelry and a publisher came calling. We talk ...
