Inspired by Adam Sandler's enviable wardrobe, we dissect how Dadcore came to be, how it's an antithesis to the 'clean girl' aesthetic and the world of microtrends, & finding comfort in dad rock.Links:⁠Spotify PlaylistPinterest BoardJerry Portwood, ⁠“Saturday Night Live And The Dacore Revolution”⁠ (Fatherly)Lauren Sharkey, ⁠"How dadcore won over fashion"⁠ (The Book of Man)Tayler Adigun, ⁠“Why Adam Sandler is Tiktok’s unlikely fashion muse”⁠ (Yahoo)Find us:⁠⁠⁠Instagram⁠⁠TikTok⁠YouTubeTimestamps:Intro 00:00Defining Dadcore 00:17Grown Ups 03:24Phil Dunphy 05:45Dadcore v.

Prayer Time Heir Waves Prayer Time A podcast especially for our Prayer Time community NEWMORROW SESSIONS - A PodCast Series on the Future of Hospitality Mario C. Bauer, Florian Schneider, Axel Weber & Dr. Tillman Bardt The Newmorrow PodCast is more than a podcast — it's a platform for open dialog on the future of our business, a platform for those building what doesn’t exist yet. Here, we share and embrace our passion for the hospitality industry, but we won’t romanticize the journey. We ask the tough questions, confront uncomfortable truths, and prepare for a future that resists easy answers. We believe that the tougher and wilder times become, the more openly, honestly and humanely people need to talk to each other and act together. We believe, openness, togetherness, and truthfulness should also be cornerstones of a professional community to develop our utopian idea of „open source“. This is a space where visionaries don’t just imagine the future — they wrestle with the paradoxes that shape it: success vs. happiness, data vs. instinct, stability vs. reinvention. Join leaders, entrepreneurs, and thinkers as they share not what made them — but what’s actively shaping them, now and next. So tune in
