The story behind Michael Jordan and Nike, why ‘Succession’ is ending, and a green soup for a chilly weekend…

Succession-Season-3 (1)

We Apropo’d this week that a pair of Air Jordans broke auction records, so this is timely… If you got to know Michael Jordan in The Last Dance and reckon you’ll see Air, the new movie about Nike’s shoe deal with the basketball superstar, you’d enjoy this vintage article on the famous endorsement deal that changed the game for big-name athletes.

If you’ve been watching the latest episodes of Succession and had to pick your jaw up off the floor like we have because it’s so darn good, you might have wondered why this is the last season. We looked into it, and this recent New Yorker piece with the show’s creator Jesse Armstrong answers that question. It’s a skill to go out on top…

It’s cooling down a bit where we are, so soups are making a comeback even though we maintain liquids aren’t foods… What makes this leafy greens soup (which is tasty…) is the easy-to-make accompanying potato bread. Seriously, give it a try – we did it for the first time over Easter, and we’ll be making it very regularly from here on in.
