In God We Lust - Introducing: The Great Creators with Guy Raz

The Great Creators with Guy Raz premieres on September 20th, featuring conversations about creativity with some of the most celebrated actors, musicians and performers of our time. Each week, Guy sits down with notable and beloved entertainers to trace their life’s journey, dive deep into their work, and illuminate the source of their creativity. With each episode you’ll have a true appreciation for how your favorite creators found greatness, and might even feel inspired to ignite your own creativity.

In an upcoming episode, Guy interviews actor and theater legend Audra McDonald. She’s won six Tony Awards for her performances, more than any actor ever. They talk about how each new role scares her, and why that fear is actually essential to her work. And they discuss the exhaustive and extensive research she brings to each role, like jazz singer Billie Holiday, or Bess in George Gershwin’s musical Porgy and Bess.

Everything Everywhere Daily - The History of Chocolate

Around 3,500 years ago, the people of Central America discovered something marvelous: the cacao bean could be used to create a fermented beverage that was unlike anything they had experienced. 

For centuries, the cacao bean became so important in that part of the world that it was used as money. 

Eventually, the bean was taken from the Americas to Europe, where it was radically transformed.

Learn more about the history of chocolate and how the sweet treat we know today developed from something completely different on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
