GNY EP.155 | Feat. Joe Carfi from Bad Bosses the Podcast
<p>Introducing The Bad Bosses Podcast: Turning Bad Leadership Into Good On Good News, York, host Matt (Clickstream Studios) welcomes Joe, a new Clickstream content creator, to discuss his podcast concept, The Bad Bosses, drawn from his 36-year career at Syracuse University (35 in management, 26 as a director). Joe aims to educate and entertain by sharing anonymized stories about bad bosses while defining what makes good leadership, noting many workplaces promote supervisors without preparing them. He critiques at-will employment laws, especially in New York, and proposes state-mandated supervisor development programs for employers with 50+ employees, using models like law enforcement promotion testing to identify strengths and weaknesses. He links bad bosses to turnover, stress, and unionization, recommends confronting a bad boss first, and invites guests via <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="http://badbosses.org">badbosses.org</a> and <a target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" href="mailto:[email protected]">[email protected]</a>, while also plugging leadership development resources and local sponsors. 00:00 Who Do You Wanna Fire 00:26 Welcome To Good News York 01:00 Meet The Bad Bosses Host 01:27 Why Bad Bosses Happen 02:43 Training Gaps Across Industries 03:37 At Will Employment Explained 05:12 Testing And Training For Leaders 08:05 Every Employee Deserves A Good Boss 09:19 Unions And Workplace Treatment 11:35 Firing With Humanity 13:20 Share Your Bad Boss Story 15:08 Leadership Programs And Resources 19:19 Which Industries Are Worst 23:04 Advice For Dealing With A Bad Boss 25:07 Where To Find The Podcast 26:26 Closing And Sponsor Shoutout</p>

GNY EP.152 | feat. Matt Read & Alex DeRosa from Spatchcock Funk!
<p>Spatchcock Funk on Building a Party-Driven Cooking Show and Community Host Matt Major welcomes Alex DeRosa and Matt Read, co-owners of Spatchcock Funk, to discuss their party-themed cooking show and content journey. They explain the name’s roots in a tailgating cooking technique (“spatchcock”) and music (“Renegades of Funk”), and how their ad-agency backgrounds helped them turn filming recipes and friend parties into segments on CNY Central and a PBS series airing in 50+ markets. The show’s format centers on themed parties (e.g., adult prom) with three recipes and a cocktail, aiming to inspire adults to reconnect socially and build community. They share party hosting tips (prep-ahead dishes and batched cocktails), guest advice, production logistics, and plans for ticketed events. They describe sponsor offerings, PBS product-placement limits, and Season 3’s local PBS premiere April 7 (Tuesdays 9pm; Saturdays 3:30pm), with episodes also on YouTube. 00:00 Welcome to the New Studio 01:20 Meet Spatchcock Funk 02:44 Origin of the Name 05:44 Standing Out in the Attention Economy 06:11 From Parties to a TV Segment 08:48 Community Building and Staying Consistent 14:37 What the Show Feels Like 17:14 Easy Party Food and Batched Cocktails 19:57 How to Be a Great Party Guest 21:19 Behind the Scenes Party Chaos 23:13 Season Format and Shooting Logistics 23:57 Building the Show Format 25:08 Logistics and Guest Wrangling 25:56 Ticketed Parties and Wild Ideas 28:59 Not a Catering Company 29:32 Fans Want to Party Too 32:13 Sponsor Value and PBS Limits 35:13 Creative Brand Collabs 38:49 Biggest Party Dreams 41:16 Where to Watch Season Three 42:55 Taking the Party on the Road 44:20 Final Thanks and Sign Off</p>
