The thing I learned about High Point University today: They have three high-end restaurants on campus where students learn business conversation skills, interview etiquette, table manners, the bread/drink rule, etc.🧐🏀🍽️

The Odyssey (1997). Hallmark Channel presents the greatest of all legends, with some help from Jim Henson's Creature Shop. Armand Assante is Odysseus, who leads his men back from the Trojan War through many perils until he can see Greta Scacchi's Penelope again. Christopher Lee and Isabella Rossellini make guest appearances. It is pretty faithful to the source material...

This new thing where podcast clips start with the best part to get your attention, then go back to an earlier starting point is my latest annoyance.

The Prodigy’s ‘Firestarter’ turns 30 today 🖤 
Released on XL Recordings in 1996, the track became one of the defining records of the decade. Its iconic video, directed by Walter Stern and filmed in a disused London Underground tunnel, remains one of the most recognisable visuals of the 90s. 
The stark, black-and-white shoot wasn’t the first video made for the track. An earlier, higher-budget version had already been filmed but was ultimately scrapped, leading the band back to a stripped-back concept that placed Keith Flint front and centre and captured the performance that would come to define the record. 
Firestarter went on to top the UK charts for three weeks and became a worldwide hit.
