  • Too Polite?

    Conflict avoidant? Or touchy management where your job is threatened by any kind of even mild disagreement

  • Lulu: you overpowered Matthew

    We hardly got to hear him. You didn’t draw him out. You competed with him and sounded high on the sound of your own thoughts and feelings. Normally love Lulu but this disappointed.

  • Oh come on….

    Lulu barely allowed Matthew Rhys a word in edgewise. Both she and David fill the “interview” with their ramblings and push their narratives on the guest. It’s getting old NYT!

  • Overall interesting

    I mostly enjoy the podcast but once in a while the moderators get a bit too self absorbed and can’t take a step back. It’s about their guest not themselves and that can get a bit muddled.

  • NYT needs to fire Lulu

    Normally, I really enjoy in-depth interviews on this podcast. However, the number of odd, biased, and aggressive interviewing style questions when Lulu is on are making me question how in the world they’re approving these to go on air at this point. She needs to go.

Ina Garten Says You Can Either Get on Her Train or Get Out of the Way

Ina Garten Says You Can Either Get on Her Train or Get Out of the Way
Q: Why did you want to have a podcast, which is nowadays a TV show and will be filmed?
She wanted to extend her connection with people and share stories in a way that feels like a genuine conversation, not just a performance, reflecting on childhood and the importance of human connection.
An Expert on Conflict Says Your Relationships Are Doomed Without It
Q: How should someone decide whether to engage in a conflict or walk away, especially in a family setting?
Decide based on whether engaging will deepen the relationship or protect safety; in some cases, stepping back and avoiding unnecessary conflict can preserve family bonds, while still addressing core issues later.
An Expert on Conflict Says Your Relationships Are Doomed Without It
Q: How do you handle conflict when one party is highly conflict-averse, including personal relationships?
She emphasizes staying in the heat, reframing conflict as an investment in the relationship, and using simple rituals like grounding techniques and clear, pro-social dialogues to keep wounds from worsening.
Kílian Jornet on What We Can Learn From Pushing Our Bodies to Extremes [Re-Run]
Q: How has becoming a parent changed your perspective on risk and your future in mountaineering?
He says risk remains part of his life, but he is more mindful of the impact on his kids; the fear of leaving his children without a father shapes his decisions and pace.
