Description: The beloved writer talks to fellow bestselling author Sloane Crosley about the challenges of putting personal tragedy and illusory pleasure into words.

Thank you for this Podcast. It was very enjoyable to listen to. It was great to access this via the Podcast. It makes it accessible even though I live in Australia. Joan Didion is an amazing writer and listening to her, her intelligence and talent also comes through.

Changemakers

When Arianna Huffington collapsed in 2007 from exhaustion, she recognized a powerful need to reevaluate her priorities. One of the results is her new book, THRIVE: The Third Metric to Redefining Success and Creating a Life of Well-Being, Wisdom and Wonder.

In this event by The Forum at Harvard School of Public Health, Ms. Huffington shared her journey of making room in her life for sleep, mindfulness, health and happiness and explained her vision of "the third metric" — a way to redefine success beyond money and power to live a life of purpose and meaning.

This event was presented in collaboration with The Huffington Post on April 9, 2014.

Fragments (album excerpts)

Previously unreleased material from the years 1999-2000.

I produced these 10 tracks for a sort of album that finally never happened.

Some may recognize Coffee Shop and Subway though, which made their way onto first TTC album from 2002 "Ceci n'est Pas Un Disque" on Big Dada, UK.

On the other hand, Radar Rider that closes the album will soon be the first signature EP that will start Ed Banger Records saga back in 2003.

I thought it was interesting to finally drop these old dusty fragments from the vault showing the path i took all along this journey back in '99...

Andrea Ariana is a Puerto Rican music selector based between San Juan and Madrid. With a diverse mix of techno, house, and everything in between, from minimal breakbeats and electro to acid house and minimal tech, AA found herself drawn early on to alternative and unconventional sounds.
She’s been playing for the past five years, with appearances at major events like SXM and Corona Sunsets, and at high-profile venues including Fifty Eight, La Marqueta, La Factoría, and even the Luis Muñoz Marín Airport.

Through years of travel to national and international music hubs, she has absorbed each city’s sonic identity, shaping both her perspective and sound. Her underground sets have steadily gained traction in the local club scene, leading her to share stages with heavyweights such as Traumer, Bob Moses, Raresh, Sonja Moonear, Priku, Janeret, Lee Burridge, Dennis Cruz, Dubfire, among others.

With a background in psychology, Andrea brings a unique sensitivity to her sets, focusing on emotional connection and subtle storytelling. She moves fluidly across settings, from big-room clubs and outdoor stages to intimate afterhours, and has collaborated with collectives such as Musikone, Y2K Obsession and Groove & Flavor. Andrea is currently working on her first project as a music producer, developing a sound that reflects her evolution as both a selector and artist.


————

This mix by Andrea Ariana weaves together deep, minimal, and groovy sounds with a strong leaning toward underground house and techno, featuring labels like Yoyaku, Amphia, and Berg Audio. With a thoughtful blend of atmospheric textures, dubby rhythms, and occasional breaks and disco influences, the set reflects a refined, late-night-to-early-morning energy rooted in both emotional depth and dancefloor functionality.

OBSKRRD 265 // Andrea Ariana

The phenomenon known as déjà entendu occurs when a person believes they've heard something before, even though it's entirely new. You can think of it as the auditory equivalent of déjà vu. This peculiar illusion has been a defining trait of Ensemble Entendu since its inception—and now, for the first time in five years, we have the pleasure of experiencing it once again.
