  • Great conversations

    I’m so thrilled to have recently discovered this podcast. I’ve enjoyed more than half a dozen episodes already, and thanks to being late to the party, I don’t even have to wait to listen to new (to me) conversations. I love not only the topics covered, but also the easy conversational style that Margarita has when chatting with her guests. These are people I’m excited to get to know and a fun way to meet them.

  • Unique interviews, talented host

    The host Margarita has a really great interviewing style that makes her episodes flow like a super organic conversation. She has a skill to really listen to the guest, and direct conversations in a very productive manner. I appreciate the unique subjects, from politics to culture, and she even invites controversial guests with whom she disagrees. The conversations are always respectful and immensely informative, and entertaining.

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Building NYC's Magic Empire - Nadav Roet
Q: What inspired The Bluff and how has New York shaped your career?

Building NYC's Magic Empire - Nadav Roet
Q: Please tell us about yourself. What do you do and how did you get there?
Nadav describes growing up in Israel, starting magic at a very young age, moving to Amsterdam to connect with his grandfather's roots, and eventually settling in New York to create a venue (The Bluff) for a younger audience and to push the evolution of magic.
Harrison Greenbaum: A Jewish Magician’s Guide to Reading People
Q: What do you think about the current state of magic and the push for originality?
Magic is increasingly saturated with similar tricks, so developing a unique voice and original material is essential to stand out; the best magicians are the ones who create something truly singular that audiences can't predict.
Harrison Greenbaum: A Jewish Magician’s Guide to Reading People
Q: How has being a Jewish performer shaped your approach to comedy and magic today?
Being Jewish is a core part of my identity and informs my values and perspective; I confront antisemitism with humor while trying to punch up and promote a positive message for the community and audiences at large.
Harrison Greenbaum: A Jewish Magician’s Guide to Reading People
Q: What motivates your constant hustle of hundreds of shows a year, and how does that feed your craft?
The constant stage time acts as a feedback loop: you test material live, gather data from audience reactions, and revise relentlessly; the more you perform, the sharper your material becomes, and you learn to deliver in a way that works in many rooms.
