Flynn McGarry

Our guest Flynn McGarry is a chef whose career started at the tender age of 11 in Los Angeles. Heralded as the "Justin Bieber of food" McGarry's pop-up dinners in his parents' house regularly sold out and garnered tons of press. Now 19, McGarry has opened Gem, his first restaurant in New York City, and he’s the subject of Chef Flynn, a documentary chronicling his unique upbringing, which premiered at Sundance earlier this year. During our chat, we peel back the layers to discuss all the big topics: dating, leftovers, being younger than your employees, and the cocaine side of the industry. We end with a blockbuster music quiz that focuses on the year 1998.Show page:http://publicannouncement.org/episode/very-advanced-flynn-mcgarry/

First-Wave Teenage Spam Career

Continuing with their Nashville series, Chris and James sit down with the city’s unofficial mayor, Libby Callaway. She was raised in rural Tennessee but made the jump to New York City where she lived an exciting and creative life as a writer and editor. After years of the big city media industry grind, she returned to her home state and settled in Nashville. Callaway has played an instrumental role in getting the city recognized for its homegrown talent. Her stories are great; her accent is even better.

The Callaway Report

Brandon Wardell

Navigating the world wide web in 2016 can be difficult. The oversharing, lawlessness and mob mentality can make even light Twitter work a challenge. But if you can avoid the Facetuned selfies and fit tea ads you will find news, intelligent opinions and strong LOLs. This week James and Chris chat with extremely logged on LA based comedian Brandon Wardell who is responsible for some of the funnier things floating around the www. While his meme creation and masterful use of Twitter is impressive, Wardell is also a serious stand up making waves in the comedy scene, opening for the likes of Bob Odenkirk, Eric Andre and Bo Burnham.

The Making of a Digital Wildboy: Brandon Wardell

A Medical Retrospective

Much has been said about the millennial generation (aka Generation Y, aka Digital Natives, aka Generation Rent, aka Echo Boomers, aka Generation Me). Are they self-involved, narcissistic, lazy, pragmatic idealists who take a lot of selfies? This week Chris and James conduct the Public Announcement Summer Sixteen Millennial Survey. They ask four core millennials–Amardeep, Carson, Mitch and Rachel–a laundry list of questions to help better understand the largest generation in Western History. Some of their answers may actually surprise you.

Public Announcement

Men’s fashion has seen a steep rise in popularity in recent years. This week Chris and James talk to Grailed brand director Lawrence Schlossman about the speed of trends and the role he plays in the culture. He gives James some feedback on his look, explains Rick Owens and the meteoric rise of Vetements. Lawrence’s ability to keep it real no matter who is listening (or reading) has helped him gain a significant following online. He is unabashedly himself at all times, an attractive quality in today’s always offended society.

Log On

No matter what you are told when you are younger, careers are not always planned. Ellis Jones had worked at VICE for a long time before she became the editor-in-chief.
