The pandemic has brought Unpaused into the here and now. So today, and in coming weeks Unpaused is changing direction temporarily, to help you focus on the many ways of getting your house in order. With hours to fill at home, there’s good work to be done that will stand you in great stead when the world returns to some sort of normal.  ⁠

⁠Listen too for practical ways to uplift the spirits and distract you from the relentless cycle of news; good books, great YouTube videos and other creative efforts to help you refocus the way you see the world, for the better.⁠

⁠Today, a conversation between Judy and Unpaused’s producer, Leonie Marsh on creating structure for the working day at home, impressions of New York and a favourite book that's the perfect read for right now.⁠

In this episode you will hear Part 2 of Ruth Ribeaucourt's magical tale.

Ruth Ribeaucourt’s great unpause was occasioned by the discovery that her husband’s family was the last of St Etienne’s highly skilled jacquard ribbon makers, and supplier to the haute couture houses of Paris and Milan. Ruth’s electrifying story of how the ribbons claimed her imagination comes to life over two fairytale like episodes. A wonderful tale in time for Christmas...

Olivia Rubie is a young Swedish professional photographer, looking for the essence of what makes a woman arresting, whatever her age. She is increasingly fascinated by how women change as they get older: how they move, the subtle changes in how they hold themselves. She is also troubled by how our culture values only the young as subjects. Judy Stewart speaks to Olivia about viewing a woman through her lens at a recent workshop conducted by The French Muse in June 2019.

When she was at British Vogue Fiona Golfar, journalist and long-time editor-at-large, she went deep into the private lives of women from all walks of life: in fact, you could say she is something of an 'everywoman' herself. ⁠The story of her dramatic pause, hard on the heels of a change in the editorial leadership at Vogue and her comeback are detailed in this episode of Unpaused. | www.unpaused.net | Instagram: @_unpaused

Episode 3 features Australian Annabelle Hickson, an accomplished woman. Listen to Annabelle's story of her transition from big-city journalist to Tenterfield flower forager, podcaster, photographer, published author, pecan marketer, and so much more, recorded on the other side of the world, in deepest, hottest Provence. | www.unpaused.net | Instagram: @_unpaused

Marc Blazer, long-term investor in Rene Redzepi's renowned restaurant, noma, and now co-investor in PRIOR, is our second guest for Season 2 of Unpaused. ⁠Marc, who created Overture Investment Partners, to invest in talent-driven  - and often disruptive - consumer businesses, outlines what he looks for when he’s weighing up an investment opportunity, how that approach to investing evolved and the value he believes he brings to the table. www.unpaused.net | Instagram: @_unpaused

We launch Season 2 with the wonderful Skye Gyngell of Spring restaurant in London. Skye has the wisdom of someone whose approach to work has been forged in everything- to-lose Michelin-starred kitchens in Paris and London; some of the most exacting work environments imaginable.

⁠Her more seasoned view of life at work is no less exacting in its commitment to perfection now than it was when she first realised that cooking was going to be her chosen vocation, but it’s tempered by a still undimmed love of cooking and kitchen lore, which she imparts each day to her team. How she stays in the ‘middle of the bed’ is the subject of this podcast.
