How do you spend your 168 hours each week? Between work, sleep, and everything in between, we often lose track of time—literally and figuratively. This podcast dives into the universal yet deeply personal challenge of time management, exploring why we waste so much of it, how we can make the most of it, and whether constant productivity is truly the answer. Through narrative storytelling and real-life profiles, we’ll meet multiple archetypes of time-spenders. Through their experiences, paired with cultural insights and informed analysis, this episode will reveal surprising truths about how we spend, waste, and value our time.

Malek Jandali NPR Weekend Edition Interview with Scott Simon

“Setting the Tempo: My Life in Sound” is a reflection on how I found simplicity in the chaos of city life. Growing up in Philadelphia, I was surrounded by noise that felt random, but as I began to explore sound as an art form, I realized it all had rhythm and meaning.

Moving to Boston introduced new sounds and a fresh perspective, teaching me to find harmony in unfamiliar places. This soundscape captures my journey of learning to listen, adapt, and create—turning the noise of life into something purposeful. Grab your headphones for the full experience, but it's a story you can enjoy either way.

As this year comes to a close, we’re releasing a Best of 2024 series—by no means objective, and making plenty of tough decisions to leave a few favorites out. We’ll be back early in the new year with new episodes.

Original description: Beatrice, Artie and Jules discuss a recent piece in NPR, “Wrestling with my husband's fear of getting COVID again,” which presents avoiding covid both as the product of unreasonable “anxiety” and as something immunocompromised people should let go of lest their loved ones consider abandoning them.

In the early to late 70's NPR attempted to bring drama back to radio.  They encouraged many of the playwrights of the era to contribute their work to be turned into a radio production.  The result was some fantastic programs with outstanding actors and production standards... in stereo!   On this track is "Alice Through The Intercomb".... and remember if the rain they have (2 inches) in the program, happened to be snow.... well it would be 20 inches! :)

"Alice Through The Intercom"- Earplay. (Approx. 1973)

21 minutes of de-construction, eclectic, avant-jazz? who knows, but there is a whole lot happening here and it's beautiful.

Lick the Plate features a different culinary personality weekly from Detroit, Windsor, Northern Michigan and San Diego. “Lick the Plate tells the unique stories of the  talented, eclectic mix of culinary personalities in these markets and beyond. And those folks tend to have some entertaining stories." ~David Boylan, Producer & Host

"Say no to the the status quo"  From the depths of punk rock, avant-jazz, and everything in between, Dogs h8 Rats are genre defying, and chock full of surprises. The music is born of improvisational performances so with a little luck you'll catch the "mistakes and imperfections" now and then, or as Miles Davis once said "Don't fear mistakes, there are none" and that ethos is in clear evidence within the music of Dh8R's. The core of Dh8R's is made up of Douglas Wilkerson and Michael Grimes who enlist the talents of various friends for added sensory enhancements."

Hailed by Fanfare Magazine as “a major new addition to the 21st century’s symphonic literature,” Malek Jandali’s symphonic works have been described by Gramophone as “deeply enigmatic with voices and in tongues emerging from the composer’s Syrian heritage that generously repay more reflective listening” with “heart-rending melodies, lush orchestration, clever transitions and creative textures.” American Record Guide.

His large-scale orchestral works integrate Arabic maqams (modes) with persuasive craft and a marked seriousness of purpose that echo UNESCO’s call to preserve and protect the rich cultural heritage of his homeland Syria at a time when it is being eradicated. “Jandali captures the struggle, trauma and triumph of our displaced brothers and sisters, through the voice of a child. It is a beautiful and important message.” Marin Alsop

Recent commissions and premieres include a Viola Concerto for Roberto Diaz, a String Quartet for the Nashville Symphony Orchestra, and a world premiere by Baltimore Symphony Orchestra under the baton of Marin Alsop who described The Silent Ocean as “an evocative and emotional journey for musicians and audience members. In this piece Jandali captures the struggle, trauma and triumph of our displaced brothers and sisters, through the voice of a child. It is a beautiful and important message.” 

His causes go beyond those of humanitarian activism, as he is regularly recognized by and invited to speak to key academic institutions such as Harvard University, the Skoll World Form at Oxford, Duke University, Aspen Ideas Festival, Fordham University, the United Nations headquarters in New York City and the Doha Debates at Georgetown University in Qatar, TEDx Talk at Georgia Tech and Sydney Ideas talk at the University of Sydney.

Mr. Jandali also has self-produced seven albums representing excellent performances of 40 of his compositions. His albums Syrian Symphony, SoHo, Hiraeth, and The Jasmine Tree were released at Carnegie Hall’s Weil Recital Hall in 2015, 2016, 2017, and 2018 respectively. The Huffington Post described his work as “inspiring” and Bob Stevenson of NPR stated that his music is both “moving and thought provoking.” 

Mr. Jandali is the recipient of the 2014 Global Music Humanitarian Award and in 2015, The Carnegie Corporation of New York honored him as a Great Immigrant. He is a strong advocate for peace and was selected as a Visiting Scholar for the 2017/2018 academic year in the Center for the Study of Genocide and Human Rights at Rutgers University. Mr. Jandali is very passionate about making the arts accessible to all and is the founder and CEO of (www.PianosForPeace.org), a non-profit organization dedicated to building peace through music and education. He embraces young talent from all over the world through the annual Malek Jandali International Youth Piano Competition. Mr. Jandali makes his home in both Manhattan and Atlanta. His music is published exclusively by Soul b Music and his discography is available on iTunes, Amazon and at Virgin Megastores worldwide.
