In this episode of The Pearl Lam Podcast, Pearl Lam speaks with Dr. Eva Cwynar, an endocrinologist and metabolic specialist whose work focuses on hormones, metabolism, and longevity.

Their conversation explores contemporary thinking around anti-aging and the enduring search for a “fountain of youth,” examining how advances in hormonal science, metabolic health, and regenerative medicine are reshaping ideas of ageing. Dr. Cwynar discusses the role hormones play in energy, resilience, and overall vitality, alongside emerging interventions such as peptides and their potential impact on cellular repair and biological ageing.

Moving beyond surface-level aesthetics, the discussion considers anti-aging as a broader framework for sustaining health, function, and quality of life over time. Throughout the episode, medical insight is balanced with personal reflection, grounding complex science in lived experience and practical understanding of longevity in everyday life.

In this episode of The Pearl Lam Podcast, cultural influencer Pearl Lam sits with art aficionado, lawyer and art magazine writer Daniel McClean who regularly writes and produces shows in the art world. To Pearl Lam’s delight, this is a man who wears many hats and who has also authored and edited several books while acting as an independent curator with commercial gallery experience. “I see the good, the bad and the ugly,” says Daniel McClean about his bird’s eye view of the ever-changing art business.

The duo discusses the importance of authentication as Pearl Lam draws viewers to the fact that despite the increasing digitalisation the art world is enduring, people’s interest in Old Masters is actually being revived instead of dwindling. This is where Daniel McClean shares his experience, using an example where AI authenticated a Caravaggio in an auction. The lawyer believes that artificial intelligence could provide valuable assistance in this process, with careful human guidance, since he doesn’t believe that AI-authentication could be entirely definitive.

This illuminating episode also delves into blockchain technology, the rising concerns of maintaining legacy through art, the changing role of art custodians and how art is currently being showcased and curated in exciting new ways.

In this episode of The Pearl Lam Podcast, cultural influencer Pearl Lam sits in Slovak-born academic painter Michal Korman’s art studio in Burgundy, France. Candid discussions about delicious French delicacies aside, the conversation with artist Korman paints a sumptuous picture of a man who since childhood began a lifelong career in art.

Having thrived as a Parisian painter, Korman brings Pearl Lam and the audience into a fascinating world of meditative brushstrokes, the transformation of Soviet symbolism into Greco-Roman inspired landscapes and the thought-provoking differences between East Asian and Western Renaissance art. Pearl Lam steers the talk into the territory of AI art and the dwindling demand for fine-tuned skills, a trend which is on the rise in the increasingly digital art world.

Here, Korman explains the enduring power of the hand-painted art he creates while sharing one frustrating experience when he “painted” with a computer and found the process severely lacking in craftsmanship. Overall, this episode provides viewers with a fascinating insight into the future of art, the globalisation of styles and places where ancient Eastern wisdom has influenced the artistic traditions celebrated in the Western world.
