With her new cookbook, Let's Get Cooking: Everyday Meals, Tipsy Favorites and Comfort Food Cravings, the 31-year-old creator is bringing one of the most beloved parts of her content into readers' homes. Filled with comfort food, Korean recipes inspired by her family, easy weeknight dinners, and dishes longtime viewers will instantly recognize from her vlogs, the book feels like a natural extension of the world she has built online.

'Forbidden Fruits' has been widely hailed as a 'cult classic' by critics and fans, but labeling it as such too soon risks undermining the process that establishes a film's cultural significance over time.

Two-thirds of the attempts at humour during these talks fell flat, drawing either polite chuckles or no laughter at all. Almost one-quarter of attempted jokes were judged as a "moderate success", eliciting audible laughter from around half the audience. Only 9% prompted most or all of the attendees to laugh enthusiastically.

I don't want to be working in ballet, or opera, or things where it's like, Hey, keep this thing alive, even though like no one cares about this any more. Chalamet said in a recorded conversation for Variety, expressing his reluctance to participate in art forms he perceives as lacking contemporary audience engagement and cultural relevance.

Guardian writers have been making their pitches for best picture winner at the 98th Academy Awards in our Oscars hustings series. Has Chase Infiniti been snubbed? Should Train Dreams win for best cinematography? Who's the bigger monster, Frankenstein's or Marty Mauser?

Cavai has built the world's leading global conversational advertising cloud by working closely with brands, publishers and agencies to enable experiences which boost audience engagement.

Hear about the success of the campaign, how changing behavior was its ultimate goal, and how they reached difficult target audiences.

I think that the most important feature of theater is the act itself. It's not actually what is said or what is done. It's not the plot or the storyline. It's the act of gathering human beings in space and time together to experience something.

My journey as a bootstrapped founder has been pretty unique, and I love to share my insights and lessons learned with others who may be traveling along a similar path. But there's another dimension, too. I want to be embedded in the communities that I think Jotform should reach. If you know me, and my product feels familiar, you're more likely to think of us the next time you need an online form builder.

In fact, I've made a conscious habit of seeking out successful individuals so I can learn from their experiences. But the man often nicknamed the "King of the Hollywood Blockbuster" continues to elude me. And yet, despite never meeting face to face, Spielberg taught me one of the most important lessons of my entire career. It's a lesson I've learned through engaging with his work.

Nearly every other month since 2015, Carla Rossi has hosted a movie screening at the Hollywood Theatre that's also a drag show. The event, called Queer Horror, helps explain why The Ring is a "lesbian-coded ode to unwanted queer kids" and contextualizes Hellraiser 's "outrageously horny injection of iconic '80s queer horror." If Rossi's intro alone doesn't forever change your relationship to the night's movie, the on-theme drag performances-burlesque, lip-syncing, acrobatics-certainly will.

Super Bowl parties are arguably the best gatherings of the year! It is the perfect opportunity to get together with friends, enjoy some fantastic food, and watch the biggest game of the season. The atmosphere is always electric, full of excitement, and naturally an opportunity to showcase your football knowledge and earn bragging rights with your friends. What's a party without flexing on your brotato chips?

Traditional thought leadership is losing impact. Long reports and gated content no longer capture attention in today's zero-click world. As a result, thought leadership is entering a new phase - experiential thought leadership. Engaging formats like interactive webinars, immersive events and podcasts make ideas felt and memorable rather than just consumed. Success depends on cross-team collaboration, testing and building experiences around real audience understanding.

On YouTube, The Rest is History podcast draws roughly around 500,000 viewers, who stick around for an average of about 48 minutes. That's close to the length of a traditional hour-long show and even longer than the podcast's strong audio average of around 40 minutes.. For the production team, seeing that level of engagement, especially on TV screens, was a turning point. People weren't just listening along to podcasts. They're settling in to watch now too.

The publisher worked with tech startup company Axiom (Axiom founder and CEO Jeff Yam is a Forbes board member) to build its own prediction platform - Forbes Predict - which will launch in beta in February. Unlike real-money prediction markets like Kalshi or Polymarket, Forbes' platform lets readers make forecasts and track results in exchange for tokens. It's designed for engagement, not wagers.

The first thing I found when I was rehearsing Hamlet was that I felt very at home. I just felt very at ease and happy to be there. But the first time I performed to be or not to be on stage, there was a sense of aren't bells supposed to ring here? Isn't there supposed to be a klaxon? I come to to be in a slightly different way each night so hopefully the audience haven't seen it done that way before.

And we want to know: What are you most curious about? We welcome your technical queries (we're still wrapping our heads around the physics of most of these sports ourselves!) but even more so, your questions about what it's like to be at the Games: from the spectator experience to the behind-the-scenes realities of getting around, feeding ourselves and meeting deadlines on the go.

The FT was one of the first to have a subscription business model, because we could see that advertising alone could be very volatile depending on the economy, and so we needed to look at subscription models, but also how we could have direct relationships with our customers. And so that was really where I started. And so when I was approached by Manchester United, the question wasn't do you know sport?
