Many birders travel far and wide to popular birding destinations to catch sight of rare or “exotic” birds. In Slow Birding evolutionary biologist Joan E. Strassmann introduces listeners to the joys of birding right where they are.
Trixie Mattel and Katya Zamolodchikova are back to tackle finding success in the modern workplace. In Working Girls Trixie and Katya dole out both savvy and satirical advice for every stage of working life, from choosing a career path to sailing into a blissful retirement, in step-by-step guides, quizzes, the world’s most bizarre aptitude test, and more.
Will Guidara was twenty-six when he took the helm of Eleven Madison Park, a struggling two-star brasserie that had never quite lived up to its majestic room. Eleven years later, EMP was named the best restaurant in the world. Unreasonable Hospitality features sparkling stories of Guidara’s journey through restaurants, and urges us all to find the magic in what we do—for ourselves, the people we work with, and the people we serve.
