New York, NY, July 29, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Get ready to unwrap something delicious! Journalist, book author and luxury travel expert Paula Conway is launching a new podcast, The Candy Bowl with Paula Conway, where every episode is a surprise and the mix is anything but ordinary. The inaugural podcast will be recorded at Fushimi Times Square and features a well-known celebrity, intuitive tarot card reader and resident Wellness Witch at The Algonquin Hotel Cardsy B.
Set against a backdrop of Broadway glitz and global glamor, “The Candy Bowl” features a rotating lineup of special guests and segments covering luxury travel, whimsical indulgences, cultural obsessions and candy reviews. From exclusive hotel openings in Paris to backstage moments on Broadway, from obscure historical sweets to insider guides to the world’s most decadent destinations, no two episodes are the same, just like the name promises.
“The Candy Bowl podcast isn’t just about candy,” said host Paula Conway. “It’s about those sweet, unexpected pleasures in life: luxury travel, Broadway best-sellers, design, food, people, and stories that delight you when you least expect it.
Known for her sharp wit and playful curiosity, Conway draws on her years of storytelling for Forbes, Business Insider, and luxury brands, often featured on her social media platforms, to create a show that’s as informative as it is escapist. It’s this mix of insight and irreverence that makes her a perfect match for special guest Cardsy B—a celebrity tarot reader and pop-culture satirist whose offbeat charm adds just the right amount of sparkle and surprise to the conversation. The Algonquin Hotel Hex and The City package offers more than a few surprises, including your one-on-one reading with Cardsy B, a Stay Magical AF tarot card deck and a personalized guide to NYC.
Currently available on YouTube, The Candy Bowl with Paula Conway podcast is available on all major platforms, including Apple Podcast, iHeart, Spotify, YouTube Music, Amazon Music and many others. New episodes drop monthly.
