Introducing SZA on Making Music From a Beautiful Place from The Run-Through with Vogue.

Follow the show: The Run-Through with Vogue

The Fashion Awards took place in London last night at the Royal Albert Hall, and British Vogue’s Chioma Nnadi skipped all the afterparties so that she could join Nicole Phelps immediately afterwards and give us a rundown of the evening.

We also have an extra-special treat: a conversation between Nnadi and SZA, British Vogue’s current cover star. This conversation feels less like an interview and more like sitting in on a conversation between two friends; which makes sense since Nnadi and Solána—SZA’s real name, and how Nnadi calls her—go back over a decade.

Tommy and Ben discuss President Yoon Suk Yeol’s sudden declaration of martial law in South Korea, how Trump and his team will approach the Syrian civil war, and why Kash Patel, Trump’s pick to lead the FBI, is so dangerous.

Finally, Tommy speaks with Natasha Hall, Senior Fellow in the Middle East Program at the Center for Strategic & International Studies, to unpack what’s happening in Syria, who all the players are, and how we got here.
